The three brothers of the protagonists in "Tianlong Babu" can be called the most powerful trio in Jin Yong's whole book, and the only ones who can compare with them may be the sweeping monks and apprentices, as well as the three brothers of Shi Tianjia Zhang San and Li Si in the chivalrous journey.
However, there is also a short board in the combination of the three Tianlong brothers, that short board is the younger brother Duan Yu among the three, although Duan Yu has the Northern Meditation Divine Gong, Ling Bo Micro Step and the Six-Pulse Excalibur Three Divine Skills, but his performance in the book is far less than the two righteous brothers to achieve the brilliance.

Xiao Feng and Xuan Zhu were almost undefeated in the book, while Duan Yu was subject to people several times and three times, and Both Jiu Mozhi and Murong Fu had several opportunities to kill him, so why did Duan Yu obviously have divine skills, but he was far inferior to Xiao Feng and Xuan Zhu? In fact, there are clear explanations in the book.
First, the persona of Duan Yu
Compared with the two righteous brothers, Duan Yu has a natural disadvantage, which the author refers to is his personality, and he does not love to learn martial arts by nature, which is emphasized many times in the book.
For example, in the last time of the new revision, Xiao Feng issued such an exclamation when he passed on the false bamboo: "If the gang wants to push a hero to be the leader of the gang, it may not be able to find the right talent for a while, according to the ancestral rules, the gang leader must be able to get the 'dog stick method' and the 'dragon twenty-eight palms' two kung fu." Second brother, I think you learned it first, and then passed it on to the successor helper later. To learn these two kung fu, you must be proficient in martial arts and have strong understanding. The third brother does not like to learn martial arts, look around here many friends, only you are the most suitable. ”

Imagine that with Duan Yu's talent, to learn this Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms and Dog Fighting Stick Technique would never be slower than the Virtual Bamboo, afraid that it would be easy to practice, but Xiao Feng did not want to be strong, because he knew that the Third Brother did not like to learn martial arts.
At the end of the book, Duan Yu also admitted that he had made no progress in martial arts, and always only touched the skin of the three martial arts on his body, the original said: "Duan Yu said urgently: 'I haven't changed.'" I still can't do martial arts and I'm stupid, but I'm loyal and honest, I'm quite reliable, and I'll never tell you half a lie. ’”
Therefore, just from the perspective of personality, it is enough to explain why he is inferior to the two righteous brothers, but in fact, from the perspective of the martial arts configuration itself, it can also be explained.
Second, the martial arts configuration of Xiao Feng and Xuan Zhu
Duan Yu has a six-veined excalibur at the offensive end, the Northern Meditation Divine Gong can be attacked and defended, and Ling Bo's micro-step can take advantage of both offensive and defensive, and even if he can't fight, he can escape, and his combination of these three martial arts is very reasonable.
Xiao Feng was pregnant with the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon, the Dragon Catching Gong, the Dragon Claw Hand, the Descending Demon Palm, the Taizu Long Fist and other divine skills, and in terms of the rationality of the configuration, it was far inferior to Duan Yu, only because these martial arts were all partial to the offensive end without exception, it can be said that Xiao Feng's combat style was similar to that of the lonely defeat, all of which were attacked instead of defended, and there was no retreat.
However, just one Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms was enough to make Xiao Feng run amok in the martial forest, after all, even the sweeping monks also lamented that "descending dragon eighteen palms are the first in the world."
(Fictional Bamboo Stills)
Looking at the virtual bamboo, the Tianshan Folding Plum Hand, the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, the Life and Death Charm, and the Xiao Wu Xiang Gong, his configuration is not to lose Duan Yu, the Small Wu Xiang Gong can stimulate the world's martial arts, the Tianshan Six Yang Palm can be attacked and defended, and the life and death charm is even more hurtful in the invisible, plus the Tianshan Six Yang Palm that can dissolve the world's martial arts.
In this way, the martial arts configuration of the three people is better than Duan Yu, and Duan Yu is better than Xiao Feng, but this is only the book strength, and if you taste Duan Yu's six-veined Excalibur, you will find that this martial art is over-praised.
The shortcomings of the three-veined six-veined Excalibur
Xiao Feng had dragon catching skills, virtual bamboo had life and death charms, and their combat ability at medium and long distances was very strong, but what about Duan Yu? Is his six-veined Excalibur really a "magic machine gun" as some readers boast? The people who say this are either misled by the TV series or have never read the original book.
What is the six-veined Excalibur in the original? It is completely different from the Yiyang Finger, which can shoot out the strength of the fingertip, like a bullet, while the Six-Pulse Excalibur is an invisible sword with the strength of the Yiyang Finger, which can be used to slash and swing.
For example, when he was facing Hatsuma Zhi, he showed such an operation: "Duan Yu listened to the exclamations of Emperor Baoding and others, knew that it was not good, his hands were waved at the same time, he panicked in his heart, the true qi naturally gushed out, the right hand less punched the sword, the left hand less Ze sword, the double sword at the same time set up the flame sword This move, the remaining momentum is not exhausted, the scoffing sound, to the hatsumo zhi counterattack past." ”
A "shelf" word has clearly explained that the six-veined Excalibur is an invisible sword, which is only suitable for short-distance combat.
Later, when Duan Yu and Murong Fu fought, they also had a relevant description: "But murong Fu's every move, no matter how fierce and fierce, could not be delivered to Duan Yu's body within one step. Only to see Duan Yu poke and poke with both hands, he forced Murong Fu to lie high and low, and dodge east and west. ”
Here it is also proved that the attack range of the six-veined Excalibur is about one inch, and it is not a "magic machine gun".

Of course, the small attack range does not prove that the six-vein excalibur is weak, it is not strong, it also depends on the power, it also depends on Duan Yu's battle against Murong Fu, the power of the six-vein excalibur cannot penetrate a tree.
The original said: "Murong Fu was completely unable to see the origin of the invisible sword qi at this time, and could only make the wind and rain impermeable with a stroke and a hook, protect his whole body, and always shrink behind the big locust tree to avoid the sword qi." ”
However, how many martial arts can Jin Yong's pen break through the big tree? Let's say that the eagle king Yin Tianzheng in the Book of The Dragon Slayer in the Heavens, he has the operation of knocking down the tree with both palms.
The original said: "Yin Tianzheng shouted like a thunderbolt: 'In the end, is it not seen?' With a roar, he pushed a large pine tree next to the road into two sections, the upper half of which was cut with branches and leaves, and then carried three crow nests, and fell down with a rattle. ”
The Eagle King was only a second-rate master, and his palm strength was still so large, it could be seen that the power of the Six-Pulse Excalibur was really not strong.
The attack distance of the Six-Pulse Excalibur is short, the power is not strong, the most important offensive means on Duan Yu's body are just like this, and the other Northern Meditation Divine Gong and Ling Bo Microbus can only be regarded as auxiliary divine skills, naturally it is difficult for him to reach the same level as Xiao Feng and Xuan Zhu, and his martial arts are not as reasonable as the two righteous brothers.
