has entered the arena, so loyalty must come first. At least, that's how it is in martial arts novels. But mainly new school martial arts novels. Although old-fashioned martial arts novels are also discussed, it seems to be not the subject. Except "Water Margin" - "Water Margin" can also be regarded as a martial arts novel. As for the earlier novels, such as those chivalrous novels in "Legend of the Tang Dynasty", such as "The Biography of the Qiu Bearded Guest" that Jin Yong admired, they don't actually talk about loyalty. Mainly write characters, write very characteristic, and the story has room for imagination.
's new martial arts novels should be influenced by "Water Margin".
"Water Margin" is also popular literature , generally known as chivalrous novels, chivalrous and righteous side by side. The heroes in "Water Margin" neither love beauties nor fall in love. This is for the sake of the chivalrous, the chivalrous and the righteous, the fight against injustice, and the righteousness of the gods, at least a few brushes are needed. The little white face who has no power to tie the chicken can't be chivalrous and righteous, and it is not qualified to do bad things. Just like a child only deserves milk, not pancake rolls and green onions .
Of course, you have to be a little bit skilled in showing loyalty to others. In "Water Margin", it generally requires two skills to talk about loyalty. One is to be strong and strong in martial arts. If others are not convinced, they will be convinced. If is capable and doesn't show loyalty, others will rush to show loyalty, forcing you to gather loyalty, such as Jade Kirin Lu Junyi . The other is to be rich, not only rich, but also to be able to use it, to use it on the edge of the knife, such as Song Jiang , a typical black and short ugly, no doubt common, but the money is used well, it is on the rivers and lakes Famous, Yi Bo Yuntian, called Bao Yi, Ji Yu.
This is the rule of the rivers and lakes.
Since "Water Margin" writes about Jianghu and heroes, it is necessary to define Jianghu heroes.
Loyalty is a strange thing, you can only tell men, not women . Men and women talk about love, and men and men can only talk about loyalty. A lot of old men get together. If they don't have any contradictions and conflicts, they can only be restrained by loyalty and make it the foundation of their existence. It makes these wandering men understand that hangs on the rivers and lakes, relying on friends Or brotherhood, not love. From
to the new school of martial arts novels, Liang Yusheng, and Jin Yong place great importance on righteousness, and Gu Long is also close behind. They believe that the most important thing in martial arts novels is chivalry, not martial arts.
Jin Yong wrote many forms of righteousness, including national righteousness and brotherly righteousness. A true chivalrous chivalrous man with a righteousness and no hesitation, such as Hu Fei . There are also those who only talk about loyalty and rely exclusively on cheating and cheating, such as Wei Xiaobao .
And in Jin Yong's novels, there is nothing more sad than the hero Qiao Feng . People have always believed that a man like Qiao Feng, who sacrificed himself for the world, has infinite radiance and makes people move.
But no one ever thought about the root cause of Qiao Feng's tragic ending of ? I have read the book
" Tianlong Babu " many times, and it is no exaggeration to say it twenty or thirty times, but I didn't understand this problem until recently.
This was only discovered by comparing Jin Yong's slight modifications in the newly revised version of "Dragon Babu".
Qiao Feng is a man of loyalty, he even told all the righteousness he could. Moreover, this has become a very heavy burden in his heart. even become a weakness. Lectures on loyalty must first have an object, otherwise it will be impossible to talk about. Therefore, loyal people love to make friends.
And Qiao Feng's method of making friends is extremely sloppy , he lovesIf you drink, those who can drink are heroes and good men. This is obviously too sloppy, even that nerd Duan Yu thinks it may not be possible, but Qiao Feng has no idea.
He tracked down the murderer of the beggar gang deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan . He was drinking at Wangjiang Tower on the edge of the Yangtze River in Jiangyin. When he met a middle-aged scholar, he ate up ten bowls of spirits in one breath without changing his face. .
He praised others as "good drinker, good man".
Duan Yu shook his head when he heard it, but he could only mutter in his heart, "It turns out that my eldest brother had been gambling with people last night. He was happy when he was good at drinking and said he was a good man, I'm afraid he couldn't. All in all."
On his way to Yanmen Pass, he met the evil second senior brother of the Constellation School in the tavern. He felt that this person was sinister and he didn't like it, but when he saw people drinking two bowls of spirits, he felt that this person was not good either. How annoying.
When he met someone with a similar personality to him, he also thought he was a good man. I want to be polite to people.
walks the rivers and lakes to rely on loyalty, which is not wrong.
But Qiao Feng is too loyal and ingrained in his heart these days. That loyalty seems to be less important.
In the newly revised version of "Dragon Babu", Jin Yong made some changes. In the original version, I listened to Mrs. Ma, revealed that she had an affair with Bai Shijing and murdered her husband Ma Dayuan, most of them had something to do with Duan Zhengchun , Duan Zhengchun himself, Duan Zhengchun's two lovers—— Qin Kapok , and her daughter Mu Wanqing ; Ruan Xingzhu , and her daughter Azi . There are also Qiao Feng, Qiao Feng's father, and Bai Shijing.
Then, there are very few people who really know that Qiao Feng was wronged, and they can't even show up to apologise for Qiao Feng Zhaoxue. In the new version of
, Jin Yong made changes, listened to Qiao Feng's grievances, and added more than a dozen senior members of the beggar gang, and the elders of the nine bags of the beggar gang are still there.
Now Qiao Feng can always clear his grievances, right?
but it backfired.
Wu Changfeng, one of the six elders, is a man of loyalty and has always defended Qiao Feng. He said, "You (referring to Bai Shijing) killed Ma Dayuan, and you also killed Elder Xu. But we all wronged Qiao Feng. Two things have to be explained to the brothers. The gang has always acted upright, and we can’t wrong a good person in these important matters!” But the gong elder Lu Zhang said, “Have you wronged a good person?” I don't think I've been wronged, is Qiao Feng a good person?
His reason is very simple, because it is a fact that he wronged Qiao Feng, but this fact cannot be made public. Once it spreads out, it will be known in the Jianghu that there is a rebellion in the beggars' gang's nest. For Madam Ma's sake, he killed a deputy gang leader and drove him away. With his help, the highly respected elder Xu, the impartial and selfless law enforcement elder Bai Shijing, and the capable and talented eighth-generation disciple Quan Guanqing were all destroyed on Mrs. Ma's bed.
If this is spread out, it's worth it, others are unfilial? The beggar gang may not be able to revive its glory for a hundred years. What should I do if
cannot be transmitted?
That means Qiao Feng is not a good person. wronged him? He is a Khitan Hu people, right? Who wronged him?
This logic is terrible, the logic of the basic disk has always been like this. What's even worse is that, apart from Wu Changfeng, everyone at the top of the beggar gang actually "claimed that they were". Because they all felt that the reputation of the beggar gang was the most important thing, and that the big things were the most important, and the private affairs were the least. To be righteous, not small. The righteousness of
is to cover up the facts and ensure the face of the beggar gang. Xiaoyi is Qiao Feng wrongedshit.
You see, they actually call this kind of thing that ignores the truth and right and wrong as "righteousness".
Moreover, once the basic board becomes restless, it will be terrifying. Although Wu Changfeng refuses to accept it, he does not dare to speak, because he is only one person, and he will lose his life. Everyone has discussed it, and these "family scandals" cannot be leaked, otherwise "white knives go in and red knives come out".
Qiao Feng was in despair at that time, and his heart was empty. All the morals and moral integrity of the rivers and lakes turned out to be bullshit. I only feel that people in the rivers and lakes value profit over righteousness, completely disregarding right and wrong; I only feel that "martial arts loyalty" and "justice" are all illusory, and there is not much difference between living and dead. None of it matters.
But Qiao Feng was only sad for a while, after drinking dozens of bowls of wine, he forgot everything.
was outside the gate, and he told Yelu Hongji about his uprising, and he even became a sworn friend. Since then, for the sake of the emperor's righteous brother of the great Liao Kingdom, he was born and died, and the sword was in a sea of fire. In the end, it was someone who wanted to kill him. The reason for killing him was that he did not listen to the words of the emperor's righteous brother.
This is also the tragedy of Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng also tried to understand the reason, but there was no result. First of all, he thought that the beggar gang always put benevolence and righteousness first. Today, the elders who passed the merits said that state affairs are big things, gang affairs are big things, and personal friendship and loyalty are just trivial things. So is there any conscience in this world? Should a man be fair? There were many of them, so they killed Bai Shijing, not because he killed Brother Ma and Elder Xu, and committed a serious crime, so he should be killed. Although they were many, they still couldn't beat me. If I killed Brother Ma and Elder Xu, then I should have done it. Whoever has "strong martial arts is right, and whoever is weak in martial arts is wrong. What's the difference between this and a tiger and a wolf? Just because I'm a Khitan , any crime can be put on my head, no matter what I have. Not committing these crimes, such a confounding of black and white, this 'righteousness' is really bullshit."
Qiao Feng is, after all, a Jianghu man, not a political figure. And the people he made friends with, whether it was the beggar gang, the heroes of the Central Plains, or the young master Murong, whom he longed for, or the emperor's righteous brother whom he defended, had more or less political flavor. Everyone has their own goals, they don't care about righteousness, they only care about profit.
If you have good interests, you will become friends, if you don't, you will become enemies. There are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends. In order to kill Qiao Feng, the chivalrous beggar gang can even cooperate with the evil constellation faction.
This is completely contrary to the rules that Qiao Feng himself adheres to. Therefore, he only felt that there were too many injustices in the world, and his thoughts flooded, but he couldn't think of a result.
This is also the most touching place for Qiao Feng. In the arena, although everyone talks about righteousness, very few people actually do righteousness. The heroes in "Water Margin" are either called " Juyi Hall " or " Zhongyi Hall ", which is inseparable from righteousness. But the heroes of the Yizi Dazhi actually know in their hearts what is righteousness. Chuan Huo'er Zhang Heng told Song Jiang for the first time, and he told the secret. He sang a song "Huzhou Song", two of which were - "My lord grew up by the river, and he didn't like to make friends. I love money."
The rich Song Jiang was so frightened that his legs went soft when he heard it.
Don't talk about martial arts novels, even in reality, around everyone, those buddies who don't say anything about their loyalty, have you ever seen a few who really preach loyalty?
It's a pity that Qiao Feng is a hero. He thought he was a real chivalrous hero, but was finally forced to commit suicide.
Before he finally died, he was still thinking about what righteousness was. He didn't understand. He is a Khitan, and he once formed a golden orchid with Yelu Hongji, but he threatened His Majesty and became a big sinner of Khitan. He was both unfaithful and unrighteous. And there is no place for him in the Central Plains, the former brothers are all enemies. How does he stand between heaven and earth?
He can only kill himself.
Actually, with Qiao Feng's ability, there is no need to die. no one canWhat to do with him, he can go to Xuzhu 's Misty Peak to drink and fight, and he can also go to Duan Yu's Dali country for a happy life. These two brothers are still brothers enough.
However, Yelu Hongji understands Qiao Feng, he used his "loyalty" to force Qiao Feng, but they let him go. Before he left, he said coldly, "King Xiao, you have done such a great service for Da Song , senior official. Houlu, just around the corner!"
This clearly shows that Qiao Feng is a person who values profit over justice.
Qiao Feng can't stand this.
Zhongyuan Qunhao is even more funny. They surrounded the body of Qiao Feng who saved millions of Song souls and said, ah, it turns out that foreigners (Khitans) also have heroes. Another group of people said, "Bah, where does a foreigner come from? He grew up among the Han people. We taught him, nourished him, and educated him, so that he learned the benevolence and righteousness of the Han people."
Woohoo!
At that time, Wu Changfeng, the only one who still talked about loyalty, beat his chest and cried loudly, shouting: "Qiao Gangzhu, although you are a Khitan, you are a thousand times better than us Han heroes!"
