In the era of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", the most powerful masters in the martial forest were none other than the Five Absolutes, at least on the surface, that "Southern Emperor" Duan Zhixing, "Beiqi" Hong Qigong, "Eastern Evil" Huang Yaoshi, and "Western Poison" Ouyang Feng all had the strength to run rampant in the martial forest, and their performance against opponents below the level of the Five Absolutes could almost be described as "dimensionality reduction strike".
However, they were only famous in the era of "Shooting Eagles", if they were in the "Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon", could they still have such a beautiful scenery? Judging from the various details left by Jin Yong in the book, the five masters are not considered to be first-class masters in the "Tianlong Eight Parts".
The gold content of the first and fifth names
What is the gold content of the Five Absolute Names? Jin Yong borrowed Zhou Botong's perspective to recall the first Huashan sword of that year.
The original said: "It's a long story, but I'll tell you slowly." Do you know that the five people of The Eastern Evil, the Western Poison, the Southern Emperor, the Northern Emperor, and the Zhongshentong God were at the top of Mount Hua talking about sword competition... At that time, it was the end of the cold winter, the Huashan Mountains were at the top, and the snow closed the mountains. The five of them talked about the competition in their hands, and in the midst of the heavy snow, they directly compared for seven days and seven nights, and the four people of the East Evil, the Western Poison, the Southern Emperor, and the Northern Servant finally obeyed the martial arts of my brother Wang Chongyang, which was the first in the world. ”
There are two reasons why these five people started to discuss the sword, one is to compete for the title of "the first in the world", and the other is to compete for the right to hold the Nine Yin True Scriptures, so the five people naturally spared no effort to fight, and in the end, it took seven days and seven nights to decide that the winner was Wang Chongyang, and you can imagine how fierce this duel was.
However, Jin Yong wrote a meaningful plot before the third Huashan discussion on the sword at the end of the book "Divine Eagle Man", when Guo Jing, Yang Guo and other five-level masters met a bunch of delusional people, and the gang was also ashamed to say that they wanted to discuss the sword, and the result was just a bunch of miscellaneous fish.

Will the five must-haves of "Shooting Eagles" of that year also be like frogs at the bottom of the well? At least Jin Yong gave this possibility, because when he introduced the origin of the Nine Yang True Scriptures, he mentioned a master who was far stronger than Wang Chongyang, that is, a doujiu monk.
The doujiu monk apparently won Wang Chongyang in the form of doujiu, but it was obvious that his point of being stronger than Wang Chongyang was not just the amount of wine, so how could Wang Chongyang decide whether to lend the Nine Yin True Scriptures to a stranger in the form of doujiu? It must have been the drunken monk who was his opponent whom he could not defeat by force, and he had no choice but to fight the wine.
Therefore, the so-called "five absolutes" are just that they think that they are at the top of the world, and jin Yong portrays the martial arts and does not know how many high-ranking people are hidden in the shadows.
Second, the poor performance of Huang Yaoshi
Among the five masters, Wang Chongyang is naturally the strongest, but judging from the time they fought for seven days and seven nights, his strength and the other four should only be between Bo Zhong, not too much, and he did not appear directly in the book, so he can only take the performance of the other four, here is only to take Huang Yaoshi as an example.
Huang Yaoshi's self-proclaimed "Eastern Evil" is not that he is an evil cult, but that he scorns the worldly etiquette and behaves in his own style, and in the early years, he was also called "evil monster hero" by the people, which can prove that he is a person.

In terms of martial arts, he created his own martial arts of Peach Blossom Island, which can match the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending Gang, the Dali Duan Yiyang Finger and the Toad Gong of the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions, at least not weak.
However, huang Yaoshi's most humiliating encounter in actual combat was the battle against Ke Zhen.
The original said: "Huang Yaoshi caught a feather arrow that was fired, walked up to Ke Zhen evil, and said: 'If you hadn't saved my life today, I wouldn't have made it clear to you... ' Ke Zhen Evil didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and he was confronted with a mouthful of thick phlegm, which was right in the middle of the bridge of his nose, and scolded: 'Today's matter, I have no face to face six brothers after I die!' Huang Yaoshi was furious and raised his palm. ”
Ke Zhen Evil is only a third-rate level in the book, Huang Yaoshi himself is a master of dark weapons, that finger is magical, how can he not even prevent Ke Zhen Evil's phlegm? This on-the-spot reaction was the hard injury of Huang Yaoshi's five-level master, but the first-class master in the "Tianlong Eight Parts" period was far better than his performance of these five masters.
Third, the skills of the Tianlong master
In the "Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon", during the Great Battle of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Hatsuma Zhi had a sneak attack on the sweeping monk, how do you see how the sweeping monk defused Hatsuma Zhi's killing move?

The original said: "With his hands folded in his sleeves, he secretly used the 'Finger of No Phase Robbery', and the gods and ghosts unconsciously bounced toward the old monk." Unexpectedly, three feet in front of the old monk's body, he seemed to encounter a layer of soft but hard barrier, and after a few snorts, the finger force dispersed without a trace, but it did not rebound back. ”
The same was a silent sneak attack, Huang Yaoshi was at least still facing Ke Zhen Evil, and the sweeping monk didn't even look at Hatsuma Zhi at all, and then defused the other party's killing move, what was this reaction?

Moreover, there are many people who are good at using dark weapons in the era of "Tianlong Babu", such as the Tianshan Tong Yao and the later Ling Vulture Palace Master Xuan Zhudu that life and death charm, compared to a mouthful of thick phlegm, the life and death charm is more rapid, and the thin ice is difficult to see, if Huang Yaoshi encounters a master of this level, how should he defend?
Huang Yaoshi represents the strength of the five absolute levels, his performance is still so, and the other four are stronger than him, how much higher can they be? In this way, if the five absolutes had reached the era of "Heavenly Dragon", would they also be like the bunch of delusional people who were scared away by Yang Guo's laughter at the end of the book?
