Chapter 19 Nine-fingered Beggar Hong Qigong

Ni Kuang's "Four Readings of Jin Yong's Novels" Chapter 1: Heroes of the Condor Shooting Hong Qigong is a superior figure Hong Qizheng is upright, heroic, respects the righteousness of the nation, is respected in the world, is loyal to his friends, and has all the advantages that a decent person should have.Guo Jing also has these advantages, but Hong Qigong is different from Guo Jing. Hong Qigong is a living and rational real person. one person. Tear a sentence into three parts, and give me the chicken butt.Nine-fingered Beggar Hong Qigong appeared on the stage, whether it was the first time watching "Shooting the Condor" or the eighth time, once he saw this, he couldn't help shouting loudly, just like watching "Water Margin" and seeing a fat monk The same reaction when jumping out naked.

When Huang Yaoshi appeared on the stage, it made people feel eerie and creepy, and when Hong Qigong appeared on the stage, it made people feel hot all over, as if someone suddenly slapped you behind you, and when you turned your head, it turned out to be an old friend who was eager to see you! Hong Qigong is among the many vivid characters in Jin Yong's works, the one who makes people feel the most intimate. His temper is also very weird. After kowtowing, he tapped Guo Jing's acupoints, kowtowed four heads back to Guo Jing, and said, "Stay here, I'll teach you martial arts. That's the price you paid for eating her side dishes. We don't have the title of master and apprentice." (Page 484) Think about the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Hong Qigong's lifelong mastery: half of them were obtained from his teacher (who is Hong Qigong's teacher?) and half of them were realized by himself. If Qigong has mastered this set of palm techniques, he will be able to get the title of number one in martial arts in the world, its power can be seen.But paying people for the price just to eat side dishes, this is really a bit too delicious.

There is no doubt that Hong Qigong is delicious. He can miss an important matter because of the delicious food. Afterwards, he cut off one of his fingers, which means punishment, not regret. It must be known. , because after cutting off his finger, he still tasted delicious.In the future, if you ask him to choose between delicious food and important affairs, I am afraid that he will also give up important things for the delicious food, and at most cut off a finger afterwards, what a big deal! It should be noted that cutting fingers is a trivial matter among the behaviors of characters in martial arts novels.The characters in martial arts novels have their own unique characters and behaviors, and taking injuries as a trivial matter, even if a whole arm or thigh is broken, you don't like to frown, let alone a finger. In "Dragon Babu", the monk with yellow eyebrows chopped off one of his toes in order to compete for black pieces while playing chess. From this we can see that breaking a finger is very common.

But among the characters in martial arts novels, there are only a few who are willing to casually teach others their unique knowledge. Except for Hong Qigong, I am afraid that there is no other person. Because the martial arts of a person who learns martial arts is equivalent to his life, if he teaches his own martial arts casually, it is tantamount to risking his life.But Hong Qigong took his life's unique knowledge as the price, just to eat the side dishes cooked by Huang Rong! From this point of view, isn't Hong Qigong too confused?Or ask: If it is Yang Kang or Ouyang Ke who can cook good dishes, will Hong Qigong also exchange the eighteen palms of the dragon for side dishes?This is a question worthy of further study.

When Hong Qigong met Guo Jing and Huang Rong for the first time, he didn't know their origins at all, and the attitude of Guo Jing and Huang Rong was something that anyone could do, but they just knew that there was a difference and didn't dare to neglect. This point, Yang Kang or Ouyang Ke can do better. After Hong Qigong ate a beggar's chicken, he took out a dart inlaid with gold as a reward, but Guo Jing refused to accept it.And Huang Rong's proposal to invite Hong Qigong to eat again has ulterior motives. Hong Qigong should know, but in order to have something good to eat, he readily agreed.

After Huang Rong showed his skills, whoever heard of Luomei and Haoyu soup made Hong Qigong's soul fly away, he wanted to teach them martial arts. Look out early.The girl put so much effort into preparing such a good dish for me, she must be uneasy and kind, telling me to teach you how to do it. (Page 465) It can be seen from this that even if it is made clear that the purpose of providing food is for him to teach martial arts, he still agrees. Next, as soon as Huang Rong made a move, Hong Qigong recognized her origin immediately. At that moment, Hong Qigong felt very deceived, and immediately said coldly, that was because he was very unhappy, and he refused to teach martial arts It was only later that Huang Rong tricked him into tricking him back by praising him for his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

If Huang Rong's few words can really fool Hong Qigong, then it is not to praise Huang Rong too much, but to underestimate Hong Qigong.If Hong Qigong is so superficial, how can he be worthy of being a master of martial arts?Hong Qigong suddenly reappeared and agreed to teach Guo Jing martial arts. There were actually only two reasons. The main one was that he really hated Huang Rong’s cooking. The boy who is not frightened is an honest man. Before granting martial arts, Hong Qigong got to know Guo Jing's character further. Hong Qigong's comment to him was: "The foolish boy has a good heart, and he really said that one is one." (Page 470) It is extremely rare to get such a one-word compliment from Hong Qigong, so Hong Qigong began to teach Guo Jing a move called "Kanglong Yougui". , Naturally, the more you teach, the more you teach.And from this process, it can be seen that as long as anyone has Huang Rong's cooking skills, anyone can teach Hong Qigong a half-style trick, whether it is Yang Kang or Ouyang Ke, no matter how treacherous and evil people are, as long as they pretend to be Well, if you don't miss out, you can deceive Hong Qigong's martial arts.

In this way, wouldn't everyone be able to learn Hong Qigong's martial arts?No, no, don't forget that there is a major premise: you must have a cooking method like Huang Rong.And to have such a cooking method, it is more difficult than anything else. I don't know how many first-class martial arts in "Shooting the Condor". Among them, Huang Rong is the only one who can cook delicious food with Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Flicking the Fingers, Seventy-two Kongming Boxing, Ha Toad Kung Fu, and Yiyang Finger. Cooking is an art, like any other art, cooking requires a genius, not hard to learn.A master cook is cooking, and ordinary people are on the side, doing exactly the same, not bad at all, from the ingredients, condiments, heat, time, exactly the same, but the taste of the cooked food is different, it is inimitable, Nothing to steal.Learning how to cook well is much more difficult than learning martial arts. Unless you have a natural cooking ability like Huang Rong, otherwise, you won't be able to get Hong Qigong to use his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms as a price!

Guo Jing's martial arts were originally very humble, even though he took the blood of the viper, it was of no avail, until he met Hong Qigong, he finally got a glimpse of the door to superior martial arts.Therefore, Huang Rong's cooking skills have influenced Guo Jing's life, and the wonders of the world are often like this.When Guo Jing was herding cattle and sheep in the desert, how could he imagine that the dishes cooked by a little girl who could cook on a small island thousands of miles away would change his life's destiny! Fortunately, Hong Qigong's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms fit Guo Jing's personality. If he met Huang Yaoshi, he would teach Guo Jing the Luoying Divine Sword Palm. The people who are in love are bound to be in great pain, and they parted unhappily.

Acting rashly, being generous and benevolent, Hong Qigong is willing to exchange his unique knowledge in his life for delicious food. He is really acting rashly. , no more obvious.The loveliness of Hong Qigong is also here.However, Hong Qigong's freedom and ease have not yet reached the extreme. He often sighed that he had not won the title of world's best martial arts back then (page 483).Still haven't fully let go. Hong Qigong is quite lazy by nature, he is not very willing to teach his apprentices, he has never taught martial arts for more than three days in his life, so he doesn't know how to practice it by himself?I'm afraid there are good things to eat, and I eat them first. Eating comes first, and practice comes second. If you haven't practiced the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon back then, and delayed your practice because of gluttony, then you don't have to sigh often!

Later, Hong Qigong finally accepted Guo Jing as his apprentice, it was because of getting along with him for more than a month, Hong Qigong already knew the reason of Guo Jing's personality! Based on Guo Jing's character and heart, it's nothing if I passed on all eighteen palms to him. (Page 495) When he accepted Guo Jing as his apprentice, he said: The old beggar is impatient and has to grind with the little girls endlessly. This is an admission of defeat. Now I will accept you as an apprentice. (Page 625) Of course, it was just a casual joke. This is one of Hong Qigong's strengths. Zhou Botong's entanglement is unclear.It is impossible for someone who is not a clear-headed, heroic and straightforward person to have such a refreshing conversation.There is no need to hide anything in his words, which naturally makes people feel kind. Moreover, watching the part of Hong Qigong rescuing Ouyang Ke, it can be seen that he has a broad mind: I am an old acquaintance with his uncle, and this kid was injured in my disciple's hands, so it doesn't look good on his uncle's face. (Page 631) Of course, Hong Qigong was not afraid that Huang Rong would kill Ouyang Ke, and Ouyang Feng would seek revenge, but Hong Qigong still admired Xidu's martial arts. The identity of the master, this kind of bearing, is really as vast as the sea, unparalleled.Martial arts masters with such demeanor are even rarer.Later, Hong Qigong's subordinates were lenient and did not kill Ouyang Feng, it was also because of his magnanimity.After finally suffering a big loss from Ouyang Feng, he has absolutely no intention of regretting it, he is really a superior person with such a generous and benevolent nature. Comparing Hong Qigong and Huang Yaoshi, Huang Yaoshi is artificial, Hong Qigong is natural, Huang Yaoshi has to prepare and work hard to do things on the surface, Hong Qigong does it naturally , the biggest difference between the two is here.Huang Yaoshi pretended to test the literary talents of Ouyang Ke and Guo Jing, but Hong Qigong directly denounced him: We are all martial arts learners. Isn't it better to eat and shit if we don't compete in martial arts? (Page 724) It really is extremely enjoyable! Hong Qigong's whole life as a human being is to get the essence of the two characters of happiness, eating to his heart's content, drinking to his heart's content, scolding to his heart's content, beating to his heart's content, between heaven and earth, he can play freely, and a true god and a man can play freely. !
