Chapter 34 Believe it or not, people will break up with you

In Jin Yong's novels, one of the main themes is friendship: the friendship between Guo Jing and Tuo Lei, the friendship between the Seven Heroes of Wudang, the friendship between Xie Xun and Zhang Cuishan, the friendship between Miao Renfeng and Hu Yidao...all of them are touching and earth-shattering. . However, there is one thing that often happens in Jin Yong's arena, and that is to force others to break up with friends.For example, there is one of the most famous stories about forcing people to break up: At that time, all the famous and decent sects in the Jianghu hated the Demon Cult, and therefore hated Qu Yang, the elder of the Demon Cult. It seemed that whenever Qu Yang's name was mentioned, they would all be angry.So... so the knights killed Qu Yang?Killed Qu Yang?nothing.Angrily, they found one of Qu Yang's friends, Liu Zhengfeng, and took old Liu's family as hostages. They strongly demanded that Liu Zhengfeng write a letter of guarantee and break up with Qu Yang.

Liu Zhengfeng refused to break up the friendship.The knights killed Lao Liu's family in a fit of righteous indignation, and then left happily.So justice was served and Qu Yang was punished. This is really a clever move - although we can't do anything about Qu Yang, they can at least do something about Qu Yang's friends; although we can't fix Qu Yang, we can at least make Qu Yang sick. Interestingly, although the knights hated the Demon Cult so much, and made it seem like they were at odds with the Demon Cult, I read the whole book from beginning to end, and none of the knights proposed to directly attack the Demon Cult, as if everyone wanted to attack the Demon Cult Sorry for the same thing.

The location of the Demon Cult has never been a secret.Dongfang Bubai lives on Heimuya, more than forty miles northwest of Pingding Prefecture, Hebei Province, and everyone knows it.Since you hate the Demon Cult so much, if you go up the mountain and kill this big villain, won't it be over?However, none of the knights mentioned that they wanted to go up the mountain to kill Dongfang Bubai.They just angrily found Liu Zhengfeng one after another, forced him to break up with him, killed his whole family, and then became very excited. The knights seem to abide by a wonderful tacit agreement: it is okay to hate the Demon Cult, it is okay to scold the Demon Cult, but it is absolutely not allowed to really fight the Demon Cult.

On the contrary, the Devil's Cult never played the game of letting people break friendship with respectable and decent families, but often played with guys as soon as they came to the door.For example, the "Ten Elders" such as Fan Song, Zhao He, Zhang Chengfeng and Zhang Chengyun would attack Mount Hua with an ax when they were unhappy. There are still many stories like this that force people to break up friendships in Jin Yong's Jianghu.For example, Miejue Shitai in the movie, her biggest enemy is Yang Xiao, who is an executive of the Demon Cult.She kept swearing against Yang Xiao, and she would be furious whenever the word Yang Xiao was mentioned.But interestingly, in the past few decades, I have never seen Miejue Shitai go to Kunlun Mountain to seek revenge from Yang Xiao.The only thing she did was to grit her teeth and give the middle finger to Kunlun Mountain on her own Mount Emei.

Until one day, she found out that her female apprentice Ji Xiaofu was having an affair with Yang Xiao, and as if she suddenly remembered this deep hatred, she asked Ji Xiaofu to break up with Yang Xiao with great fanfare.Ji Xiaofu refused, so the teacher beat Ji Xiaofu to death full of hatred, and angrily wanted to kill Ji's daughter to show that she wanted to "cut the grass and root out the roots." After doing all this, the teacher became even more dignified, as if a small part of her blood revenge had been avenged. In the original book, the teacher gave an explanation as to why he didn’t go to Yang Xiao, saying that he didn’t know Yang Xiao’s whereabouts—Master Miejue looked up to the sky, filled with hatred, and muttered to himself: "Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao... I have not known your whereabouts for many years..." Her words were intentional excuses made in front of her apprentices, and they were unreliable.

Readers all know that in this book, you can say that Xie Xun is hard to find (in the North Pole), Yang Dingtian is hard to find (he has been quietly dead for many years), Fan Yao and Dai Qisi are hard to find (after plastic surgery), you absolutely It cannot be said that Yang Xiao is hard to find.What's more, since the teacher said that Yang Xiao could not be found, why did the teacher immediately join in the siege of the Mingjiao by the six sects, swiping his troops to kill Kunlun Mountain, and also gave a generous speech, "take the light first Left Emissary Yang Xiao".At this time, her old man will be able to find Yang Xiao?

Furthermore, even if you can't find Yang Xiao, can't you let Yang Xiao come to you?You can go to Guangmingding to extinguish the sacred fire, and you can get some explosives to blow up the holy land and tunnels of Guangmingding. Can Yang Xiao leave it alone? Miejue Shitai's behavior, no matter how you look at it, looks like Zhong Wanchou in the movie.He hated Duan Zhengchun to the core, and he didn't dare to come to seek revenge, so he had to put up a sign in his home: "The one named Duan comes to my house to kill Wushe!" Who do you think you want to see? ! Ding Minjun, the apprentice of Miejue Shitai, complained about her, which is quite appropriate here: "If you can't beat him, then take it out on me! I'm unlucky!"

So, hatred is a double-edged sword.When we publicly express our hatred for a person, we actually dig a hole for ourselves: you have to do something about this guy, a spanking is the best way, or a few words of abuse are fine.Otherwise it will be very embarrassing. But sometimes, even though you have to hate him, but you can't beat him, argue with him, provoke him, or touch him, you have no choice but to yell: "Wait, believe it or not, let someone break up with you!" !" A truly powerful hero in the Jianghu, the standard for dealing with others is "crime and innocence". If you are guilty, I will deal with you; If someone is guilty, he will be slaughtered immediately. When have you ever played the trick of forcing someone to break up with you?

As for those knights who are not strong enough, lack confidence, and cannot do things fairly, the standard for dealing with people can no longer be "crime and non-crime", but "provoking and unprovoking".Once you encounter someone who can provoke you and win an argument, you might as well kill him; if you encounter someone you can't provoke and cannot win an argument, you will go back and deal with his three neighbors, four friends, seven aunts and eight aunts, and force them to write "break up" Guarantee. Dongfang Bubai is guilty, but we can't provoke you, so we think long term; Liu Zhengfeng is not guilty at first, but you are guilty if you associate with Dongfang Bubai's demon sect, let alone we can provoke you, so we kill your whole family.Just like in "Doraemon", if the sharp-mouthed Qiangqiang can't provoke Fat Tiger, he will turn around and slap Yasuo: "Smash you to death, tell you to hang out with him!"

In fact, knights themselves also understand that in the history of Jianghu, when has the guarantee been used?Is friendship really impossible?If you don't have secret friends, you can still have secret friends; if you don't have secret friends, you can still have secret friends.The Songshan Left League is in charge of the heaven and earth, and who can Liu Zhengfeng have a close relationship with? !
