The East Evil, the West Poison, the Southern Emperor, the Northern Beggar, and the Zhongshentong are the five people with the strongest martial arts in Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and these five people have their own characteristics.
The Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master is the owner of Peach Blossom Island, the Western Poison Ouyang Feng is the master of the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions, the Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing is the emperor of Dali, the Northern Beggars Hong Qigong is the leader of the Beggar Gang, and the Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang is the head of the Quanzhen Sect, and everyone's status is extremely high.
Among these five people, the West Poison is the absolute villain, the Southern Emperor, the Northern Beggar, and the Zhongshentong are all decent characters, while the East Evil is an exception, because he is "evil", so he is a maverick in doing things, and has always been in a state of both good and evil, which can be said to be 7 points of evil with 3 points of good.
Dongxie is the absolute genius among these five people, and the martial arts of the other four are all inherited predecessors, only Huang Yaoshi's martial arts are created by himself, which is extremely powerful. And he also practiced a magical internal skill, Xiao Feng would admire it when he saw it.
1. All-round talent Huang Yaoshi
Speaking of Huang Yaoshi, it can be said that he is the most versatile person in Jin Yong's novels, and there is no one. He is strong in martial arts, has a smart mind, and is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Bagua Directions, Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting, Alchemy and Medicine, and even water conservancy and arithmetic.
"The peach blossom shadow falls and flies to the sword, and the blue sea tide is born according to the jade flute" This is a description of Huang Yaoshi's martial arts configuration.
Huang Yaoshi was born in a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, since he was a child, he created his own Luoying Shen Sword Palm, Bihai Chaosheng Song, Jade Xiao Swordsmanship, Finger Flicking Magical Power, Bagua Footwork and other unique learning, single-handedly many masters have no defeat, becoming the most prestigious young hero in the martial arts.
Later, Huang Yaoshi married Feng Heng, because his wife liked peach blossoms, he took his wife to Peach Blossom Island to live in seclusion, and his life was very comfortable.
One day, the supreme internal strength method "Nine Yin True Scripture" founded by Huang Shang in the Northern Song Dynasty fell into the rivers and lakes, setting off a bloody storm for a while. Whether it is a decent family or an evil devil, in order to compete for the "Nine Yin True Scripture", all kinds of methods have been exhausted, and countless deaths and injuries have been made.
Later, the "Nine Yin True Scripture" accidentally came to Wang Chongyang's hands, and the various factions began to eyed the Quanzhen Sect, Wang Chongyang for the safety of the Quanzhen Sect, and also for the sake of the rivers and lakes to be calmer, he proposed to hold a Huashan Sword, the winner can get the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and others can no longer fight.
So, 30-year-old Huang Yaoshi was invited by Wang Chongyang to participate in the first Huashan sword debate, which was extremely intense. In the end, only Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng, Hong Qigong, Duan Zhixing, and Wang Chongyang remained.
Huang Yaoshi's self-created martial arts are inseparable from Ouyang Feng's toad skill, Hong Qigong's eighteen palms of dragon descending, Duan Zhixing's one yang finger, and Wang Chongyang's innate skill.
In the end, Wang Chongyang was slightly higher and won the Nine Yin True Scripture, and the five of them were recognized as the five strongest people in the world, so they were called the "Five Uniques".
As we all know, the moves of people who practice martial arts are external, no matter how strong the palm and sword skills are, they must be supported by internal force. Zhang Wuji is because of the support of the top internal strength of the "Jiuyang True Scripture", so that he can practice martial arts so strongly.
And "Nine Yin True Scripture" is the same internal strength method as "Nine Yang True Scripture", so it has become the object of competition for martial arts masters.
After Wang Chongyang's death, the "Nine Yin True Scripture" was handed over to the old naughty boy Zhou Botong for safekeeping, and Huang Yaoshi's wife Feng Heng borrowed it from the old naughty boy to read it, but he didn't expect Feng Heng to have the ability to remember it, so he re-copied the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and handed it to Huang Yaoshi.
But Feng Heng also passed away due to overwork, and Huang Yaoshi did not read this "Nine Yin True Scripture" again, it is said that it was because it was easy to think of his deceased wife when he saw "Nine Yin True Scripture", so Huang Yaoshi couldn't bear to read it.
However, at the end of the day, there is another reason.
That is, the "Nine Yin True Scripture" is a chicken rib for Huang Yaoshi, dispensable. As the top internal strength method at that time, it is understandable that Huang Yaoshi wants to take a look at it out of curiosity, but if he wants to rely on it to improve his internal cultivation, it is pure nonsense.
Because Huang Yaoshi's own internal strength is the strongest, he doesn't need to practice other internal strength methods to improve his internal strength, why do you say that?
Second, the true qi of the Northern Underworld
According to Jin Yong's description of Huang Yaoshi in the novel, Huang Yaoshi's internal strength is not Buddhism, Taoism, or an external family.
And Hong Qigong also jokingly said that his kung fu is very inconsistent with Huang Yaoshi's. Hong Qigong is a typical domineering outer kung fu, and it can be inferred that Huang Yaoshi's kung fu belongs to the inner family.
In "Shooting the Condor", Huang Yaoshi used his body protection true qi once. At that time, Guo Jing slapped Huang Yaoshi's chest, but he felt that his palm slipped, and his body suddenly slanted out. This is very similar to the body protection true qi of Xuzhu in "Tianlong Babu".
From this, it can be inferred that Huang Yaoshi's internal strength should belong to the Xiaoyao faction, although he is not the descendant of Xuzhu, but it may also be the descendant of other powerful people of the Xiaoyao faction.
Moreover, under Jin Yong's pen, there are two top internal skills. The first is the Yin or Yang Mind Method, such as the Nine Yin Sutra, the Nine Yang Sutra, and the Yijin Sutra, which often require meditation.
The second is the more powerful internal strength of the Xiaoyao School "Northern Darkness True Qi", which is a mental method of neutralizing yin and yang. His cultivation must be exercised in order to reconcile the two qi of yin and yang, so Wu Yazi invented a special cultivation method - Ling Bo Weibu.
Later, Ling Bo Weibu was learned by Duan Yu, and he also greatly improved his internal strength in the process of using Ling Bo Weibu every time.
And Huang Yaoshi's self-created gossip steps are the same as Ling Bo Weibu, he usually uses his own gossip footwork when he usually exercises, stepping on the Bagua direction, and then blowing Xiao, at this time, the internal force emitted makes Huang Rong very uncomfortable to hear.
At the same time, we all know that the criteria for selecting an heir are very harsh, that is, not only good image but also extremely smart, and Huang Yaoshi fully meets it. Therefore, from these three points, it can be seen that Huang Yaoshi's internal strength should be the Northern Darkness True Qi from the Xiaoyao School.
Third, Xiao Feng is ashamed of himself?
Why did Huang Yaoshi practice internal skills so that Xiao Feng was ashamed of himself? That's because Xiao Feng's internal strength is the "Yijin Sutra" of Shaolin Temple. There is no doubt that "Yijin Jing" is one of the most powerful internal martial arts methods in the world, and it is just to yang.
Although "Northern Spiritual True Qi" is not mentioned many times in the novel, it is the strongest martial arts mental method that can integrate the two qi of yin and yang, and it is naturally better than "Yijin Sutra", so Xiao Feng will also be ashamed when he sees Huang Yaoshi's internal martial arts.
