The field of lonely characters seeking failure

In my opinion, it is nothing more than some chivalrous men who love to use swords. Kendo is their way of survival, fencing is their strongest martial arts, and there are indeed many such swordsmen in Jin Yong's works. However, since the birth of Demonbane, all other swordsmen have been eclipsed. Even his two most outstanding distant disciples, Yang Guo and Ling Huchong, became small in his light. Yang Guo is like an ignorant child who is extreme and willful to him; Ling Huchong is like a lonely and sad street to him. Lonely kendo, which seeks failure, is lonely, arrogant and far away from worldly feelings. This is a bit like another great swordsman in Gu Long's works-Ximen Chuixue's "Sword God". Their kendo is a realm of life. "Seeking defeat" and "blowing snow" are both sad artistic realms. In this realm, loneliness is the main theme, and no desire is its essence. If we can understand their loneliness and their nothingness, we can understand their greatness. When we talk about the martial arts realm of seeking defeat alone and his swordsmanship, we must first understand his mentality and outlook on life. Only by understanding these two points can we truly understand what "no sword is better than a sword" and "no move is better than a move", and we can do whatever we want without being disturbed by the move. Sword Tomb and the Legend of "Five Swords"

"Demonbane world-beater, but died by the sword. Oh! Unfortunately, the hero is helpless, and the sword is empty! "Through Demonbane's last words in the sword burial, we can know that when he reached the peak of martial arts and life, he chose to abandon the sword and be buried. The long sword is empty, and there are few opponents, but it can't be defeated, so we have to abandon it. At this time, I believe that I have no pursuit, and his heart is even colder. Although I am proud of the world, there is no fun and no goal in life. Only from then on, I had a sculpture as my companion and lost my life. Alas, it is no wonder that Yang Guo was "surprised and admired" when he saw this sentence. Such a realm has never been seen before, and no one has come since. His realm of life and his kendo are unparalleled. Since the opponent is gone, what's the use of keeping the sword? The sword that seeks failure in loneliness is born for a strong enemy. Without enemies, there is no point in using a sword. This is the highest state of "no sword is better than a sword". After a person's martial arts reaches its peak, it doesn't make much difference whether he uses a sword or not. This is not to say that not using a sword is better than using a sword, but that no one in the world is worth using a sword. That's why after 40, when all flowers and plants can be swords, he chose to bury them formally. Because, even if he only used wood blade, no one in the Jianghu can beat him, so what's the need for him to use a sword again? This is a martial art and an attitude towards life.

"Brave and invincible, used to compete with Heshuo before the weak crown." At this time, I was defeated in despair, young and frivolous, and my artistic career was not successful. So he competed with wolves with a sharp sword. In fact, what is immaturity at this time, and it is more than a lone sword? His mentality and kendo are still very naive. Young people before the age of twenty are like this. Young and impulsive, they think that they can dominate the world with sharp weapons in their hands, but they don't know that they can only compete with "Heshuo Qunxiong" at this time.

"soft sword, Wei Zi, used it before the age of 30. It was unlucky to accidentally hurt the righteous, without regrets, but abandoned it." Before I was 30, just as I was wandering the rivers and lakes and making achievements. Youth and blood inevitably make mistakes. At this time, it is like this. Martial arts has naturally improved a lot compared with that of youth, but the outlook on life has become blurred. This is a common mistake made by people of this age. We don't know the cause and effect of the accidental injury of the righteous. But what we can know is the philosophy of life that Jin Yong wants to convey-people make mistakes when they are young, and they will be unforgettable mistakes. When we are old and weak, in retrospect, we are still ashamed. Only "abandoning the deep valley" can be taken as a warning.

"Epee without front, Da Qiao work. Before I was forty years old, I used it to run the world. " After the age of 30, people are at a loss and gradually see through it. The so-called wise fool, the brave fear. Combining martial arts, that's what it means. At this time, the lonely pursuit of defeat, looking at the world, no one can compare When the spring breeze is proud, I must have begun to review and summarize my life. At this time, I finally understood that the so-called master is just the way it is, but the world is invincible? So he put away his former wilderness, and slowly, he began to pay attention to personal cultivation. Epee is the best interpretation of the feeling of loneliness and defeat in this period, and it is also the best interpretation of Jin Yong's era-lifting weights lightly and maturing calmly.

"After forty years old, don't indulge in things. Plants, bamboo and stones can all be swords. Since then, intensive training has gradually progressed to the realm that no sword is better than a sword. " After forty years old, the age of knowing destiny is coming, and this is also the moment close to "no sword". At this point, the defeated pursuit of loneliness is still invincible in the world, and it can be said that we have already felt the loneliness of living alone at the peak. When a person has fulfilled his long-cherished wish and achieved his lifelong goal, in fact, life has basically come to an end. At this time, this age, what do people really want? What other desires are there? It's gone, and it shouldn't be gone If you still have desires at this time, you will be insatiable. This is Jin Yong's philosophy of life, and it is also the kendo of seeking defeat alone. At this point, he has gradually reached the point where he wants nothing, and it is only a matter of time before he abandons his sword. The year of knowing one's destiny is when one reaches this age and already knows when one should return. Dugu seeks defeat and buries his sword, that is, he knows that the life of his sword has come to an end. This is the case with "no sword". "No sword is better than a sword" can be said to be the supreme accomplishment in martial arts, and it is also praised by Jin Yong as the ultimate in his attitude towards life. I would like to add here that the so-called no sword is not necessarily an invisible shock wave. Knowing destiny is a free and easy-to-accept philosophy of life. In the same way, no sword is also a realm of doing whatever you want and forgetting things. Just because this realm doesn't need a sword doesn't mean there must be no sword. There is no reason to use a sword. Whether it is invisible shock wave or replacing sword with palm is the same meaning, there is no difference in length, only the means and methods are different. Six pulse Excalibur is Wan Li, invincible and unfavorable; The ecstasy palm is also shocking and colorful. These two magical powers are not necessarily better than others. Jin Yong himself has no comparison, and we don't know which one is stronger. The only thing I know is that both of them have reached the situation of "no sword". Only when you are free and do whatever you want can you "have no sword"; I forget things, and if others don't insist, it's "no sword." Duan Yu and Yang Guo just didn't do this, and their "no sword" will have obvious defects. I believe this is what Jin Yong really wanted to convey when he designed "No sword is better than a sword". Knights and swords, martial arts that seek defeat alone, are as mysterious as myth; The lonely life of self-seeking failure is as dazzling as myth; The realm of life that seeks defeat in loneliness is to gradually enter the realm of God, the path of God. Inferred from the name, Dugu, who once became a demon, must be an arrogant and incomprehensible Wulin freak. In his later years, when he left knowing and living, he had forgotten things and me. Only that pride has never been lost. Therefore, the last words still call themselves "Demonbane". I have no regrets in my life and am worthy of my kendo. Future generations yearn for their memories. Desperate for defeat, eventually buried the sword, abandoned the move, returned to the original, and everything returned to zero. It conforms to the principle of life cycle. Born empty, eventually empty, dust to dust, soil to soil. As the saying goes, everything in life returns to dust. This is Jin Yong's message of seeking defeat through solitude, this is also the thought left by Zhuangzi, and this is also the true meaning of "if you don't move, you will be yourself" and "if you don't move, you will be a sword". In Jin Yong's novels, this realm can only be achieved by seeking defeat in loneliness, because he created it. And his distant disciples Yang Guo and Ling Huchong are still far behind. Yang Guo, in the end, we are still one step away from the complete "no sword wins a sword". Yang Guo' s ecstasy must be in line with the mood, otherwise it will not work; Last time I fought King Jinlun, I secretly regretted not bringing my black iron sword, which shows that he is still a long way from forgetting things freely. His martial arts attainments are above "wood blade" at best, and under "no sword", he didn't really give up his sword from the bottom of his heart. And Ling Huchong is far from it, always losing to Dong Fangbubai, and finally he didn't practice the two types of broken palm and expired, which shows that he is far from reaching the realm of follow one's inclinations and no trace to be found. At the same time, he still needs to defend his sword from time to time, and he is at a loss in front of exorcism swordsmanship, which proves that he is still a long way from the real "no move to win" and has not even reached "wood blade". Looking back on Demonbane, I have to respect nature and admire his accomplishments in life and martial arts. It is a miracle not to move without a sword. People who reach this level look around the room and only ask for one defeat.
