Among Jin Yong's six novels, in terms of the excitement of the plot, "The Condor Heroes" should only be ranked last, but in terms of popularity, it is not inferior to "Tianlong Babu" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which are known as "Jin Yong's pinnacle works", it is difficult to say why, but in the author's opinion, it may be the power of the three words "difficult to peace".
Yes, there are too many unsatisfactory episodes in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", such as Yang Guo being cut off by Guo Fu, and Guo Xiang always loved him, and although Guo Jing guarded Xiangyang, judging from the foreshadowing left in the book, his ending is destined to be a martyr.
However, in the eyes of most people, the most difficult thing to let go of is the "Yin Zhiping incident", after all, the "heroine's loss of virginity" is almost a subversive setting in the novel environment at the time, so did Xiaolongnu really lose her virginity? The answer may not be what you think.
1. The Yin Zhiping incident
Strictly speaking, based on the new revised version, Jin Yong has transferred Yin Zhiping's role to the new character Zhen Zhibing, these two roles exist at the same time, but Yin Zhiping is no longer the one who later offended Xiaolongnu, so later generations call the role "Zhen Zhibing".

After Ouyang Feng and Yang Guo recognized each other that day, he had the heart to pass on his martial arts, although Ouyang Feng has become a madman, but he is still a martial idiot in his bones, and he still has an obsession with "the first in the world", he naturally does not want his unique skills to be learned by outsiders, so in order to prevent Xiaolongnu from stealing martial arts, he had to fix Xiaolongnu's acupoint, but unexpectedly, this move made Zhen Zhibing, who was hiding aside, have evil intentions.
In fact, Jin Yong's description of this plot is very perfunctory, just mentioning one sentence: "After a long time, she felt something touch in her eyes, and she saw things at night like day, but at this time she didn't see anything, it turned out that her eyes were covered with cloth, and she felt that someone opened her arms and hugged her." When this person hugged each other, he was extremely timid at first, and then gradually became bold and presumptuous. ”
Then when Yang Guo returned, he bumped into Zhen Zhibing, who looked panicked.
Of course, judging from the change in Xiaolongnv's attitude towards Yang Guo, something did happen that night, at least for Xiaolongnu, the man who accompanied her did something beyond her cognition.
Xiaolongnu only thought that the person was Yang Guo, so she changed her stern attitude in the past, became tender like water, poured into Yang Guo's arms, and said that she wanted to be his wife.
Yang Guo didn't know why, Xiaolongnu only thought he was irresponsible, so he ran away in a negative mood, which led to a series of subsequent tragedies.
Second, a simple two
Therefore, for Jin Yong, the occurrence of the "Zhen Zhibing Incident" is not to make Xiaolongnu lose her virginity, but to make Long Yang and the two have contradictions, so as to promote the follow-up plot.
So "whether the little dragon girl loses her virginity or not" is actually not that important, in this case, Jin Yong can completely say that this is a misunderstanding.
In fact, he did give a hint in the original book that "the little dragon girl has not lost her virginity".
(Stills of Xiaolongnu and Zhen Zhibing)
For example, Xiaolongnu felt that she was already Yang Guo's person because she found that the palace sand on her arm had disappeared, but in the seventh chapter of the original work, Jin Yong denied this statement.
It is said that it is: "The so-called 'Shougong Sand' is the traditional belief of the ancient folk in the mainland, and it is said that the 'Shougong' (a small animal similar to a gecko, with a long tail and four legs) and cinnabar and other special medicinal materials, is rotten into mud, and points on the woman's arm, it is a little red, and it will not fade for a long time. If the woman marries and marries, or loses her virginity, this "palace guard" will disappear. The ancients used this method to identify (whether a woman retains chastity...... Readers regard it as a folk superstition in the Southern Song Dynasty on the mainland, and they don't have to believe it. ）”
In fact, this matter is not difficult to analyze at all, even if the shougong sand is paint-like, it will inevitably be rubbed off because of the friction of clothes, or the rubbing during bathing, and whether the woman retains chastity has nothing to do with half a dime? Not credible at all.
At the same time, judging from the characters given by Jin Yong to Xiaolongnu and Zhen Zhibing, they should be extremely simple people.
Xiaolongnu has lived in the tomb of the living dead since she was a child, and she can be said to know nothing about the love of men and women.
And what about Zhen Zhibing? There is a sentence mentioned in the book: "Zhen Zhibing is the second disciple of Qiu Chuji, who is skilled in martial arts and is quite talented, and is highly valued in the Quanzhen Sect." ”
Since he is a proud protégé of Qiu Chuji, he is naturally also a sincere cultivator, where will he understand those worldly things?
(Guo Jing, Huang Rong stills)
Don't say that these are all things that you will understand when you are old, take Guo Jing and Huang Rong as examples, Guo Jing has a mother, and Huang Rong has a father, but they don't know anything about these things.
For example, she had such a conversation with Guo Jing: "(Huang Rong) turned around and asked: 'Brother Jing, how to have a child, do you know? Guo Jing said: "I know." Huang Rong said: "Tell me about it." Guo Jing said: "If people become husband and wife, then have children." Huang Rong said: "I also know this." Why do you have children when you get married? Guo Jing said: "Then I don't know, Rong'er, you tell me." Huang Rong said: "I can't say it either." I asked my dad and he said the baby came out of the armpit. ’……”
So Zhen Zhibing probably just kissed the little dragon girl.
3. The treacherous and cunning grandson
If Jin Yong's negation, Guo Jing, and Huang Rong's examples are not enough to illustrate the problem, then you might as well take a look at Gongsun Zhi's opinion on Xiaolongnu.
No matter what Gongsun Zhi said, he is a veteran of the love field, when he met the little dragon girl, what was the state of the little dragon girl?
(Gongsun Zhi, Xiaolongnu stills)
It is clearly written in the book: "Brother Yang expected it to be true. Half a month ago, I went to the side of the mountain to collect medicine, and found her lying at the foot of the mountain, seriously injured and dying. As soon as I visited, I learned that she had gone mad because of practicing internal skills, so I rescued her to the valley and used the family elixir to help her recuperate. When it comes to the cause of acquaintance, it is really accidental. ”
The little dragon girl was seriously injured, and she was seriously injured because of the cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, those who have read the original book know that the cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra is to hide in the grass, at this time the little dragon girl may not be neatly dressed, and Gongsun Zhi can naturally notice her arm.
But Gongsun Zhi ignored her because she "lost the palace sand"?
No, he still takes great care of the little dragon girl, and even has the heart to marry the little dragon girl.
Let's ask if the so-called Shougong Shazhi is really reliable, how could Gongsun Zhi marry a woman who came from an unknown place and lost her virginity? He's also the lord of a valley!
(Zhen Zhibing, Xiaolongnu stills)
Obviously, Gongsun Zhi also disagrees with this statement.
All kinds of details show one thing, Xiaolongnu did not lose her virginity, the "Zhen Zhibing incident" is just a misunderstanding, and readers who were worried about this matter back then don't have to worry about this matter.
Precisely:
The jade girl peak is full of flowers, and the dragon girl is wet with tears.
Yin Lang misunderstood Fang's intentions, and Gongsun only knew that he was fascinated.
There are many twists and turns in the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to part with a misunderstanding.
I hope that there is no suspicion in the world, and Yang Lang's sincerity will always depend on each other.
