In fact, the creation of this set of martial arts also has a great relationship with Jiuyin Zhen Jing. His creator recorded in his novel: "He didn't say his name and background, but said that he had been a Confucian monk all his life and was at a loss. One day, he defeated Wang Zhongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, in Songshan, and borrowed Jiuyin Zhen Jing. Although he deeply appreciated the exquisite martial arts contained in Zhen Jing, he blindly praised the "learning of Laozi". Therefore, in the four-volume Sanskrit Shurangama Sutra, I wrote my own "Jiuyang Zhen Jing" in Chinese, and consciously compared with Zhen Jing, who is pure in yin and nine in yin, there is a way to reconcile yin and yang, and to be both rigid and flexible. "
Although this wine-fighting monk didn't say his name and background, he can create this peerless martial arts. He is definitely not an ordinary person, but he is also a master. Then who could he be? We have to answer them one by one from Jin Yong's description.
Being able to compete with Wang Zhongyang shows that the gap between his age and Wang Zhongyang should not be particularly large. The closest time for Wang Zhongyang to discuss sword in Huashan Mountain should be the Tianlong Age. As we all know, Duan Yu is Duan Zhixing's grandfather. Huashan talked about swords for the first time, and the four unique skills were all around 30 years old. Then, if Duan Yu is still alive, he should be about 70 years old according to the calculation of breeding generation in 20 years. In ancient times, it was normal to breed one generation in 20 years. Xu Zhu is four years older than Duan Yu, so he should be about 75 years old. The bard's martial arts pay attention to health preservation, and his life span is much longer than that of ordinary people. Besides, he has the ability to save face. At the age of 75, he looks less than 40, which is not surprising. Wang Zhongyang's age is about ten years older than Si Jue's, and he is also between 45 and 50 years old, so his age is very consistent.
Let's take a look at the self-description of the Dionysian monk: "I can't be a Buddha, a Taoist and a Confucian all my life." Who is the most like him in Tianlong Babu? Yes, it's also a virtual bamboo. Xu Zhu was originally a Shaolin Temple monk and a Buddhist. Then enter the bard, that is, Taoism; Later, he became the owner of Lingjiugong on the faintly visible mountain peak. According to his character, this venerable Lord will be around for a long time, and will eventually help the poor, and he can barely be regarded as a Confucian.
Xu Zhu devoted himself to the Buddha. After a long time, he will definitely want to go back to Shaolin and become a monk. After all, his father was the abbot of Shaolin, and both his parents died in Shaolin. He has every reason to go back and die. Because I was expelled from Shaolin Temple, it was difficult to go back as before, so I went back in a new guise. The first choice must be the Tibetan master-the sutra depository! It is a historical practice to hide the master in this place. There are three apprentices, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, the sweeping monks, and two apprentices, Jue Yuan and Zhang Sanfeng. Xu Zhu hid in the sutra depository, and later borrowed Jiuyin Zhen Jing to get Jiuyang Zhen Jing in the crack of Shurangama Sutra.
Xu Zhu himself doesn't like publicity, so he won't go to Huashan to discuss swords. With Xu Zhu's martial arts, it is absolutely far above Wang Zhongyang, so it is not surprising that Wang Zhongyang can't see that he has martial arts. A closer look at "Jiuyang Zhen Jing" is not only a single internal skill, but also kung fu such as shrinking bones and swimming over the wall. It is also a holy book of healing and defense, much like the northern ghost magic of the bard.
