Ask what love is in the world and teach people about the promise of life and death. This is a word often spoken by Li Mo-Yu. Until her death, she did not seem to understand "what love is." however, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu gave the answer with their own practical actions. It is "the promise of life and death".
On the face of it, the story of the Eagle Swordsmen seems to be complete. after all, the protagonists and heroines finally overcome all difficulties and come together, and their stories reflect more "true feelings" than those who are accompanied all the year round.
But the question is, is it "perfect" for long and Yang to be together? In fact, for the vast majority of readers, this story is not complete after Xiao Longnu's innocence was destroyed by Zhen Zhibing (Yin Zhiping in the old version). What is more exasperating is that Xiao Longnu finally forgave Zhen Zhibing. Why?
The forgiven Zhen Zhibing
Jin Yong gave Xiao Longnu a look like an immortal. When Yang Guo first met her, he once sighed that he did not know whether the woman was an immortal or a monster. How could mortals be so beautiful?
(stills of Xiao Longnu)
And the more beautiful things are, the easier it is to be destroyed, so Jin Yong arranged for Zhen Zhibing to shoot, destroying Xiao Longnu's innocence.
In fact, most people have ignored a detail, in that evil night, the most heart-wrenching thing is not Zhen Zhibing bullying Xiao Longnu itself, but Xiaolongnu unexpectedly mistook each other for Yang Guo, and then showed a very active pandering.
In fact, this is not in line with common sense, after all, Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo have lived in an ancient tomb for many years, how can they not understand the smell of Yang Guo?
There is only one sentence mentioned in the book: "when her heart swung, her fear faded away, and her passion grew secretly, thinking that Yang Guo had come to play with me." He only felt that his hands were getting more and more irregular, and he slowly undressed himself. Xiao Longnu was unable to move, so she had no choice but to let her do what she did. She was surprised and shy, but Chueh Yang-Guo was deeply in love with himself and only hoped that the two would become one, and he could not help but get drunk physically and mentally. "
Judging from the attitude of Xiao Longnu afterwards, she did not pretend to be confused. She really did not recognize that the other party was not Yang Guo. Maybe people lose their basic judgment of things when they are extremely nervous, which makes sense.
Then there was a misunderstanding between long and Yang, and then they experienced various tragedies, until Xiao Longnu heard the truth of that night during the quarrel between Zhen and Zhao. At that moment, she should hate Zhen Zhibing very much. If you were her, what would you do?
Kill Zhen Zhibing, no doubt.
(stills of Xiao Longnu and Zhen Zhibing)
However, Xiao Longnu did not do this. During the battle at Double Yang Palace, she had the opportunity to kill that Daoist. However, not only did she not kill him, she even took the initiative to ask Yang Guo not to kill that Daoist.
She said like this: "Guo son, I gave Ouyang Feng a point that day. I couldn't move. My innocence defiled this man. Even if I recovered, I couldn't marry you." But he... But he gave his life to save me, so don't embarrass him any more. In short, it is my misfortune. "
Yang Guo was heartbroken at that moment, but he didn't show any emotion. He only said faintly, "Auntie, let's go." Yang Guo is a real man, but as readers, it's hard for us to let it go. Why should Xiao Longnu forgive Zhen Zhibing?
Second, Zhen Zhibing's character
In fact, it was undeniable that Zhen Zhibing was not a pure villain compared to other villains. On the contrary, other than the incident of " bullying Little Dragon Lady ", his image was very positive. After all, he was one of the best of the third generation of Quan Zhen Sect and the future leader in the eyes of his masters and uncles. It could be seen that he was outstanding in both character and talent.
Later, in the Chongyang Palace, King Jinlun Dharma and a group of Mongolian masters used both hard and soft methods to intimidate and seduce them, and he was unmoved and unwilling to work for the Mongolians. it can be seen that he has a bit of national righteousness in his heart, especially in the comparison of Zhao Zhijing's two-faced villain face, his image is more heroic.
(stills of Zhen Zhibing and Zhao Zhijing)
In addition, when King Jinlun made a fatal blow to Xiao Longnu, it was Zhen Zhibing who stepped forward and saved Xiao Longnu with his life in exchange for his life.
At that moment, Xiao Longnu could not help being soft-hearted.
At least this is what the book says: "after Xiao Longnu took the sword he handed over, she was in a daze with her sword. Zhen Zhibing rushed in, just touching the tip of the sword, and the blade penetrated her chest." As soon as Xiao Longnu froze, she realized that he had saved his own life. He saw that he had been hit in the back and stabbed in the chest, all fatally and seriously injured. In that room, the heart full of hatred turned into pity and said softly, "Why are you so bothered?"
You see, Xiao Longnu really felt sorry for him.
But one yard to one yard, is it because the other party is a "good person", the original destruction of her innocence is only a moment of confusion, she should forgive each other?
Of course not, this is only one reason, in fact, for Xiao Longnu, there may be another reason, but it is because before Zhen Zhibing, someone has destroyed her innocence.
III. Abominable Taoist
Didn't Xiao Longnu's palace sand disappear after the Zhen Zhibing incident?
(stills of Yang Guo and Zhao Zhijing)
This is true. It is indeed mentioned in the book that the heirs of the ancient tomb school used the palace sand to identify whether to keep an innocent body, but Jin Yong also said that this method has no scientific basis, and secondly, long before Xiao Longnu lost the palace sand, her innocence has been destroyed.
And it was Zhao Zhijing who destroyed her innocence.
When Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo practiced the Heart Sutra of Jade Girl, according to their grandparents, they took off their clothes and practiced martial arts naked in the flowers, but in Zhao Zhijing's view, this scene has become irrefutable evidence of their master-apprentice relationship.
The book only says: "Zhao Zhijing laughed and said, 'people say that the school of ancient tombs is a school of girls, and it has always been handed down to women but not men, all of them are pure and clean." But it turned out to be filthy, and dozens of concubines fell in love with each other, regardless of monks, Taoists and disciples, regardless of day and night.'"
(stills of Longer)
After hearing this, Xiao Longnu was so angry that she vomited blood. Zhao Zhijing was a despicable person, and this matter let him know, which is tantamount to being known by the rest of the world. As the saying goes, "people's words are awesome." Xiaolongnu's innocence was smeared. In fact, from this moment on, Xiaolongnu's innocence was destroyed.
This was also why Xiao Longnu pursued Zhao Zhijing in Chongyang Palace but ignored Zhen Zhibing. The person she hated the most was Zhao Zhijing. If Zhao Zhijing hadn't told the others that they had taken off their clothes to cultivate, how could they have lost face?
Obviously, Zhao Zhijing is the most damned person, and it is reasonable for Zhen Zhibing, who has a good conscience, to be forgiven.
