Wang Chongyang and Zhang Sanfeng are both Taoist masters in Jin Yong's martial arts works.
Let's first look at Wang Chongyang.
Wang Chongyang's upper limit is far from the realm of Huashan's theory.
The original book of "Leaning Heaven" was written, and Wang Chongyang spent seven days and seven nights to thoroughly understand the entire "Nine Yin True Classics".
The martial arts cultivation in Jin Yong's martial arts works is not "practicing", but "enlightenment".
Zhou Botong had never practiced the Nine Yin True Scriptures, he had only comprehended the fist theory of the Nine Yin True Scriptures, and as a result, he had directly learned the Nine Yin True Scriptures.
You flipped through the original book of "The Legend of the Archery Hero", where did Zhou Botong practice the Nine Yin True Scriptures?
Wang Chongyang comprehended the Nine Yin True Scriptures for seven days and seven nights, and it can be said that no matter how strong the Nine Yin True Scriptures are, how strong Wang Chongyang's upper limit is.
"Attacking the real with the false, and winning with the insufficient" is the Taoist way of cultivating the mind, but it is also the essence of martial arts.
The first sentence of the opening sentence of the Nine Yin True Scriptures is "The virtual victory over the real, the lack of victory over the more than enough."
Zhou Botong understood these ten words, combined with the Quanzhen Sect of Martial Arts, and realized the Seventy-Two Ways of Empty Ming Fist.
Zhou Botong's martial arts talent was far inferior to Wang Chongyang's, and after Wang Chongyang comprehended the Nine Yin True Scriptures, how strong was his strength?
According to Zhou Botong, if Wang Chongyang lived to the end of the divine eagle, the golden wheel would not be able to catch his ten moves.
There may be factors here that Zhou Botong worshipped Wang Chongyang, but it can indeed reflect the characteristics of Wang Chongyang Xuanmen Kung Fu with a solid foundation and rapid progress in the later period.
What about Zhang Sanfeng? Zhang Sanfeng's prestige in the Central Plains Wulin was even greater than that of Wang Chongyang.
Before Wang Chongyang comprehended the Nine Yin True Scriptures, he was still a little worried about Ouyang Feng.
In order to deal with Ouyang Feng, he traveled thousands of miles to Dali to exchange a yang finger with a lamp.
Zhang Sanfeng didn't seem to worry about anyone, and the top master of "Leaning Heaven" who was similar to Ouyang Feng's setting was a Hundred Damage Daoren.
Wang Chongyang hit Ouyang Feng a little harder, while Zhang Sanfeng hit the Hundred Damage Dao people almost crushed.
The original evaluation of the "Leaning Heaven" is that the Xuan Hao Divine Palm is, "I want to slap Zhang Sanfeng in that year"!
The upper limit of the Hundred Damage Daoist and Xuan Hao Divine Palm is to slap Lao Zhang.
After slapping Lao Zhang in the face, the Hundred Damage Daoist suffered serious internal injuries, and fled to the Western Regions with only one breath left, and did not dare to set foot in the Central Plains again.
Zhang Sanfeng and Wang Chongyang are both a generation of masters in Jin Yong's martial arts works, and they also have seven apprentices.
Wang Chongyang's apprentice was the Seventh Son of Quanzhen, and Zhang Sanfeng's apprentice was the Seven Heroes of Wudang.
The martial arts level of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen is much weaker than that of the Seven Heroes of Wudang.
In the original work of "The Legend of the Archery Hero", the five masters basically did not enter the world.
Emperor Duan was staying in Dali, Ouyang Feng was far away in the Western Regions, Huang Yaoshi was living in seclusion on Peach Blossom Island, and Wang Chongyang was practicing martial arts in retreat.
Although Hong Qigong was wandering around, his whereabouts were unpredictable and there was nothing serious about it.
In this case, the positioning of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen is the top master of entering the world, but their martial arts are difficult to threaten the martial forest.
Quanzhen Qizi Ziqiu And Ma Yu's martial arts were very strong, but Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi joined forces to barely be able to slap Mei Chaofeng.
Wang Fu singled out lingzhi and tried his best to slap it, but he was almost paralyzed by others.
In the eyes of Ouyang Feng and Huang Laoevil, Lingzhi was simply a sandbag, and it could be thrown out at will.
Look at the Seven Heroes of Wudang, Yu Lianzhou and Song Yuanqiao, all of whom are proper masters.
In the later period, Yu Lianzhou's martial arts surpassed Yang Xiao and Fan Yao, and single-handedly challenged Zhou Zhiruo, who had learned the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and won a lot.
Even if it was the second elder of Xuan Di, if he wanted to duel against Yu Lianzhou Song Yuanqiao in the later stage, it would be quite difficult.
After Yin Liting practiced the Taiji Sword, he could pick out more than 100 moves with Zhou Zhiruo, who had cultivated the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
The deterrent power of the Wudang Seven Heroes in the martial forest was not a star and a half stronger than that of the Quanzhen Seven Sons.
Ordinary demons did not dare to hang out in front of Yu Lianzhou and Song Yuanqiao at all.
Why is the martial arts of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen far inferior to that of the Seven Heroes of Wudang? There are three main reasons.
The first reason: Wang Chongyang's martial arts were slightly weaker than Zhang Sanfeng's.
Wang Chongyang's upper limit was very high because he later figured it out and understood the Nine Yin True Scriptures.
Before comprehending the Nine Yin True Scriptures, Wang Chongyang's combat effectiveness should be similar to that of Yang Dingtian, much worse than Zhang Sanfeng's.
Since Zhang Sanfeng was more than ten years old, he has followed his master Jueyuan to practice advanced internal skills.
Then he developed pure Yang Wuji Gong and practiced it for more than a hundred years.
At the level of internal strength, how can Wang Chongyang compare with Zhang Sanfeng?
In the realm of moves, Wang Chongyang still stayed at the level of seeing moves and dismantling moves.
After ten years of retreat, Zhang Sanfeng studied the Taiji Sword and reached the realm of no tricks and no tricks.
The second reason is that most of the Daoist monks of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen who have been halfway out of the house have not practiced martial arts since childhood.
Quanzhen Qizi is a real figure that existed in ancient times, and Mr. Jin Yong also wrote according to ancient times in order to respect history.
In the original work of "The Legend of the Archery Hero", almost all of the seven sons of Quanzhen were halfway out of the house.
Tan was a blacksmith before he became a monk, and he played iron for twenty years.
Before Ma Yu left home, he was a businessman on the rich side and did the silk business for more than ten years.
Look at the Seven Heroes of Wudang, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, Mo Shenggu, Yin Liting, Zhang Cuishan, Yu Daiyan and others, who have almost learned martial arts with Zhang Sanfeng since childhood.
Therefore, in terms of the time of martial arts training, the advantages of the Seven Heroes of Wudang are very obvious.
The third reason is that Zhang Sanfeng never hides his secrets, and the top martial arts he has studied will be taught to the Seven Heroes of Wudang without reservation.
This point is very critical, Jin Yong martial arts sects have a characteristic, the more unfathomable the ultimate martial arts, the fewer people passed on.
The Qiankun Great Shift of the Ming Sect, the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon of the Cai Gang, and the Purple Xia Divine Gong of the Huashan Sect could only be passed on to one person.
The same is true of Wang Chongyang's Quanzhen Sect, although he was able to reach the Nine Yin True Scriptures, he did not practice, nor did he let the Seven Sons of Quanzhen practice.
Just under the pillow.
Not only the Nine Yin True Scriptures, wang Chongyang exchanged a yang finger with a lamp, nor was it taught to the Seven Sons of Quanzhen.
What about Zhang Sanfeng? Wudang Sect martial arts, Wudang Seven Heroes have learned.
The Taijiquan and Taiji Sword that Zhang Sanfeng created after he was 100 years old were also unreservedly taught to the Seven Heroes of Wudang.
At the lion slaughtering conference, Yu Lianzhou and Yin Liting defeated Song Qingshu and Zhou Zhiruo with tai chi and tai chi swords, respectively.
Due to these three reasons, the martial arts of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen were far inferior to those of the Seven Heroes of Wudang.
