"the legendary swordsman" and "Jianghu" are a joke.

If a referendum is held in Jin Yong's fifteen martial arts novels to choose the most popular hero, Ling Huchong will definitely be on the list, even top3.

Yes, Guo Jing is brave, but dull and dull; Duan Yu is kind, but slightly feminine; Xiao Feng is very manly, but rigid and boring. Who doesn't like Ling Huchong with knife-shaped eyebrows and thin lips, who is chic, happy, unrestrained and free?

Through the activities of the book club, I visited the legendary swordsman again. After reading it, I suddenly found that I had read a new Ling Huchong. Ling Huchong, both strange and familiar to me, and Ling Huchong, both far and near.

Ni Kuang said: "The loveliest thing about Ling Huchong's personality is that he is unruly and decent, which can make him have certain constraints in thought, but in behavior, he is breaking through this constraint everywhere. In nature, reveal his true nature. He is not persistent, does not care, and is chic and romantic. He is the first of all the leading men in Jin Yong's works. " In fact, I think teacher Ni's words are reversed. Defiant, persistent and indifferent is not his true nature. On the contrary, he is the most restrained, persistent, caring, loyal, filial and benevolent. Because of this extreme, he had to choose a seemingly chic and romantic way to express it. No, it was a cover-up.

The appearance of Ling Huchong is quite legendary. First of all, the younger brothers of Huashan School talk about their eldest brother, all of whom are bedroom eyes and worship. At the Liu Zhengfeng Golden Basin Washing Banquet, Taishan sent Qingcheng villains to complain first, and then restored the whole process of being bullied by Tian Boguang, a flower thief, but rescued by Ling Huchong with Lin's verbosity. Pure profile description, the protagonist did not appear, but earned a pot full of shouting-informal, dissolute and heroic, chivalrous and chic, arrogant, Jianghu feelings, Ling Huchong's image reached the highest point as soon as he appeared. And look carefully, on the surface, he drinks with Tian Boguang, completely ignoring the rules of Wulin, but in fact, this is completely his cheap plan for Tian Boguang, and he doesn't want to make friends at all. These words are the pinnacle of Hu Ling-winning actors. But what did he say when there was no need to perform? The first thing I said to Yilin was: "The Wuyue Sword School is psychic. Your sister is in trouble, how can you not save her? " What he said to Tian Boguang was: "The Wuyue Sword School, the Tongling School, the Huashan School and the Hengshan School are all your enemies, a rogue ..." What is the difference between this tone and Yue Buqun? There is one detail that is particularly easy to ignore. In the dark, Yilin asked his name, and he lied that he was Lao Denuo. Why do you say that? Because he thinks he's about the same age as Lin Yi, only by taking the older Deno out will he not hurt the girl's reputation. You can say that he is kind and considerate, or that he has never forgotten the rules and words of this Wulin.

Then, in the process of being denounced by the famous Orthodox Church, all kinds of misunderstandings, grievances and framing made Ling Huchong the most wronged hero in Jin Yong's works. He is weak, and the readers seem to be weak. Besides constantly showing good loyalty to his "evil heretics", what choice can Ling Huchong make? And his performance is completely free and easy and heroic. He is always in pain and always wants to return to the embrace of the Orthodox Church. Handsome and wild is just a coat he uses to hide himself.

Afraid to defile the threshold of Huashan School, he was foolish and filial to Yue Buqun, and showed his indecision and rigid dogma to the extreme, even with conclusive evidence, and he regretted it at the sight of Yue Buqun. For example, Ling Huchong's performance in the merger of the five mountains made people vomit blood. At the sight of Yue Buqun, he wanted to kowtow. Yue Buqun sarcastically said "yes, yes", but Yue Buqun lied about what he said. A moment later, he knelt down in the sky and said, "Master, Teacher Niang, my apprentice has committed a great crime. In the future, I will repent and listen to the teacher's instructions. I only hope that Master Shi Niang will be merciful, accept her disciples and re-list Huashan Gate. " Reading makes one's throat sweet, and an old blood almost gushes out. The next plot is even more surprising. When Yue Buqun finally showed his support for the merger card with a set of pretentious rhetoric, everyone was surprised and angry. Look at Ling Huchong's performance-Ling Huchong is even more surprised. He said, "I didn't expect Master to agree to join the faction. I said that the Hengshan Sect was only the leader of the Huashan Sect, and Master said that he was in favor of the Sect. I can't break my word. " Then I gave up my position and almost lost to Yang Ge in the form of suicide ... It is a model of loyalty, filial piety, propriety and righteousness, but the word "stupid" should be added in front.

Ling Huchong is the best apprentice of Yue Buqun, representing the extreme of "hypocrite" and "gentleman". He listened to every word of Yue Buqun's sanctimonious teaching and turned it into flesh and blood, so that he would rather not die than protect his values. However, in such a chaotic, dark and treacherous Jianghu, a person who truly abides by the way of a gentleman and sticks to the moral high ground can't live, so this unrestrained and unrestrained indulgence has become the best protective color in his misfortune.

Therefore, Ling Huchong can't be "the legendary swordsman". His cowardice and inferiority are contrary to "laughter" and "pride". But such rivers and lakes need such fake lunatics to fight against the shadow of repression and conspiracy, the struggle for power and the decline of human relations. As far as Ling Huchong himself is concerned, the major turning point in his life mainly comes from passive choice, the so-called adventure. In a sense, it can be said that Ling Huchong was chosen by adventure. Because the Jianghu is tired, tired, tired and scared, only "the legendary swordsman" can be regarded as a comfort.

Desolate and corrupt rivers and lakes at the end of the road, chivalrous men who abide by their beliefs but have no choice but to revel-I can't laugh, only mourn.
