Duong Qua – From an aggressive young man to a mysterious decision to withdraw
Kim Dung is the author of 15 famous martial arts novels, of which Xa Dieu Tam Khuc is a series that readers will never forget. Condor Three Songs includes Condor Hero, Condor Heroes and Ỷ Thien Do Long Ky, telling about the resentment and hatred between the martial arts sects of the Central Highlands and the battle against foreign invaders full of hardships and challenges.
Besides, the main character of the Condor Hero period – Quach Tinh also appeared in Condor Heroes with The immortal saying “A person with a spirit of chivalry is one who works for the country and the people” has awakened Duong Qua. It was Quach Tinh's kindness that moved Duong Qua, helping him give up his hatred to become a great hero to eliminate evil and destroy violence.
After Kim Luan Phap Vuong was defeated, Mong Kha died in battle, the Mong Nguyen army no longer had a commander and had to retreat, 13 years later they dared to return to invade the Central Plains. At that time, Tuong Duong citadel had returned to peace, Duong Qua and Tieu Long Nu said goodbye to everyone and retired.
Kim Dung did not mention anything more about Duong Qua and Tieu Long Nu anymore, it was all summed up in Hoang Sam's words: “The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the Lost Wanderer”.
The absence of Duong Qua and the rise of new forces
Is there any hidden meaning behind the perfect ending for the couple Duong Qua – Tieu Long Nu or is this a hidden attempt by writer Kim Dung to create dramatic developments for future works?
As we know, Kim Dung often relies on real historical events to create her works. Mong Kha's death and the fall of Tuong Duong citadel 13 years later were inevitable events that had to happen. Therefore, Kim Dung was forced to let Duong Qua and Tieu Long Nu retreat into hiding. Moreover, after leaving, the two of them completely disappeared from the world, to the point that Quach Tuong searched for 24 years and could not find them. any whereabouts.
On the contrary, if Quach Tuong really finds Duong Qua, with his personality, when he learns that the Mongol army invades the Central Plains and knows that Quach Tinh is in danger, Duong Qua will definitely return to the wandering world with Tieu Long Nu. .
And at this time, thanks to the Condor God's instructions to eat a lot of snake bile, and after 16 years of hard training in martial arts in the rushing water, Duong Qua possesses amazingly deep internal strength. Main Duong Qua was the one who used 3 stones to shoot Mong Kha to deathrelieved Tuong Duong citadel.
This is clearly described in the passage: “Duong Qua held two rocks and threw them out with all his strength. I only heard a 'whoosh' sound, the two rocks hit Phi Van Truyen's horse's butt. The horse was in pain, neighed loudly, its front legs lifted up. , the horseman stood up. Mong Kha had lived on horseback all his life and was familiar with swords and spears. At this time, he encountered an incident, but did not panic. He raised his bow and arrows, clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, and turned around. He shot an arrow at Duong Qua again. Duong Qua bowed his head to avoid it, flew forward, picked up a fist-sized stone, shouted loudly and threw it, hitting Mong Kha's heart So strong that Mong Kha broke his bones, ruptured his tendons, fell off his horse, and died instantly.”
According to the analysis on Sohu and Sina, in fact, letting Duong Qua retire so early was a subtle arrangement by Kim Dung. Because if Duong Qua does not leave, these two “forces” will not easily appear. Which characters are they?
Kublai Khan
As stated above, if he could charge alone into battle alone and shoot Mong Kha among tens of thousands of troops, then Yang Guo could also completely destroy Kublai Khan. However, The fact that Kublai Khan razed the city of Xiangyang is a historical fact cannot change, so Kim Dung can only let Duong Qua retreat to hide, and from then on disappear from the world.
Bach To Taoist
In the era of Ỷ Thien Do Long Ky, there appeared an extremely poisonous martial art called Huyen Minh Than Chuong. At the age of 10, Truong Vo Ky was secretly attacked by someone during the chaos and was hit by the force of the long-lost Huyen Minh Than Chuong.
Seeing Truong Vo Ky barely alive, Truong Tam Phong used all his internal energy, trying to use Cuu Duong Divine Cong to remove the cold poison in Truong Vo Ky's body. What Truong Tam Phong did not expect was that Huyen Minh's cold poison was extremely powerful, he had to have someone light a charcoal fire to warm Truong Vo Ky, and at the same time let Tong Vien Kieu and Du Lien Chau take turns transmitting internal energy, at the same time. This is the only way to save Truong Vo Ky's life.
However, every time the Hundred Taoists are mentioned, Truong Tam Phong frowns: “I thought that 30 years ago, when Taoist Bach To died, this poisonous martial art of Huyen Minh Than Chuong would also be lost. Who would have thought that there are still people in this world who know how to use this martial art. Truong Thuy Son. Truong Thuy Son, you worship me as your master, and when you were about to leave, you entrusted your son to me, yet I couldn't protect your only son. What's the use of me living to be a hundred years old? What's the use of being famous in the world? I'd rather just die!”
There are opinions that, Quach Tuong's sudden death is related to the Taoist Bach To. To eliminate the tyranny, Quach Tuong killed the Taoist Bach To, but she herself was injured, and later fell ill and died.
If Duong Qua had not retreated soon, perhaps it would not have been the turn of the Hundred Taoists to rampage.
In short, Kim Dung cleverly borrowed the work of Duong Qua and Tieu Long Nu to retreat into hiding to cause Quach Tinh to die in battle at the hands of Kublai Khan, thereby creating the premise for the appearance of the Taoist Bach To.
So where did Duong Qua go? Does he know about the great changes in the world? Does this great warrior know that Kublai Khan has returned to invade the Central Plains?
Explaining Duong Qua's decision to retire
In fact, Even if Duong Qua knew everything, he still wouldn't have returned to the world. Kim Dung built the image of Duong Qua as an arrogant, careless person. Right from Tuyet Tinh Valley, Duong Qua once said to Tieu Long Nu: “In a few months, when your body gets better, we will go to the South together. I heard that the Southern land is as warm as spring all year round, flowers bloom all year round, the trees are green, we I won't use swords anymore, buy a piece of land, raise chickens and ducks, and live a peaceful life together, do you think it's okay?”
Tieu Long Nu thought dreamily and said softly: “Never having to touch a sword again, how good would that be! No one will attack us anymore, we don't have to fight anyone anymore, buy a piece of land, raise chickens and ducks… Sigh, if only I can live forever…”
Although Kim Dung gave a reasonable reason for Duong Qua to leave, because he and Tieu Long Nu had to endure 16 years of separation, they both have the right to continue to enjoy the love they have. It's very hard to get it. However, this arrangement caused Quach Tuong to suffer a lot. No matter how hard she searched, she could not find Duong Qua, because Duong Qua would never appear again, otherwise it would destroy the circuit. stories of later works.
