Chapter 46
First, he offended his fellow disciples.
In the original novel, the feud between Linghu Chong and the Qingcheng Sect started when he taught Hou Renying and Hong Renxiong, two of the"Four Beauties of Qingcheng", a lesson. He kicked them away and jokingly called it the"butt backwards flat sand and falling wild geese style" of the Qingcheng Sect.
Some people say that as a senior disciple of the Huashan Sect, Linghu Chong should not have done this, which led to the two sects becoming enemies.
Is this statement reasonable?
First of all, why did Linghu Chong teach Hou Renying and Hong Renxiong a lesson?
This is not mentioned in the original novel.
But Linghu Chong is not a person who bullies the weak, and the character of the Qingcheng Sect is clearly written in the book.
Therefore, Linghu Chong would teach Hou Renying and Hong Renxiong a lesson, most likely because the two had done something evil.
If he took action, he would offend his fellow disciples.
If he did not take action, it would be against the way of chivalry.
Fuwei Escort Agency was wiped out by the Qingcheng Sect, and no one in the whole Jianghu spoke up for the Lin family.
For this point, many people say"there is no chivalry in the world".
So was Linghu Chong wrong to take action?
If we consider the interests of the sect, Linghu Chong is indeed wrong.
But from the perspective of personal cultivation and character, Linghu Chong is not wrong.
……
Second, he concealed the Five Mountains Sword Techniques and the method to crack them on the Cliff of Repentance.
This point is clearly written in the original novel.
It was not that Linghu Chong did not want to speak, but he was interrupted twice, and finally he became afraid to speak, or he felt that there was no need to speak.
Linghu Chong only used a move on the stone wall, and Yue Buqun slapped him twice.
The force was so heavy that Linghu Chong's eyes were full of stars, and his whole face was swollen into a purple pig's face.
Yue Buqun also called him"little beast" and"walked on the evil path" in a stern voice.
Then he began to instill the"correct thinking" of Qi Sect into Linghu Chong, ensuring that"the thinking is correct".
Who dares to continue to say more?
You know, what is engraved on the stone wall are all moves!
Even if there are lost sword techniques of Huashan School on it, they may all be from the Sword Sect.
Does Linghu Chong dare to speak up?
What's more, after being brainwashed by Yue Buqun, Linghu Chong only thinks that his master is the best master in the world.
As long as the inner strength is deep, martial arts moves are just low-level tricks.
After Yue Buqun left, Linghu Chong himself stopped looking at the stone wall.
Not to mention looking at it, even every time he thought of it, he immediately drove away the thought and avoided it as much as possible.
He often thought:"Fortunately, Master stopped me in time, so I didn't go astray and become a sinner of our sect. It was really dangerous." It was not until Tian Boguang climbed up the cliff and Linghu Chong couldn't beat him and was forced to go to watch again.
Therefore, in Ye Luochuan's opinion, Linghu Chong might have been at fault for the secret of the stone cave being concealed, but more of it was Yue Buqun's own fault.
If Yue Buqun hadn't been trying to save the face of the Qi Sect, things wouldn't have developed to that point.
……
Third, Dugu Nine Swords.
Some people say that Yue Buqun raised Linghu Chong, but Linghu Chong hid the"Dugu Nine Swords" tightly, which is an ungrateful person.
First of all, Linghu Chong's"Dugu Nine Swords" was taught by Feng Qingyang.
Before passing on the sword, Feng Qingyang asked Linghu Chong not to reveal the origin of the swordsmanship to anyone.
Linghu Chong is a man of integrity, and Feng Qingyang is his great uncle, who has taught him the way, so Linghu Chong naturally cannot break his promise.
Some people may say that Feng Qingyang just didn't let Linghu Chong tell the origin of"Dugu Nine Swords", but didn't say that he couldn't let him pass it on to Yue Buqun.
But can Linghu Chong really do this?
Looking back at the time when Feng Qingyang taught Linghu Chong, he repeatedly ridiculed Yue Buqun as a pedantic fool, and his words were full of disdain and disgust for Yue Buqun.
Because of this, Linghu Chong even got angry with Feng Qingyang.
So imagine if you were Feng Qingyang, and after you passed on your unique skills, your successor taught your unique skills to someone you hate, what would you think?
In addition, when the Sword Sect attacked Huashan and wanted to grab the position of the head, Feng Buping had another"sword spirit debate" with Yue Buqun. Linghu Chong, who had just come down from the Cliff of Repentance to help, listened to it. There is such a passage in the book -
Linghu Chong suddenly had a thought in his mind:"Master Feng only taught me to practice sword, he...he is probably from the Sword Sect. I learn sword from him, is this...is this wrong?" Instantly, he was horrified and his back was covered with cold sweat.
At this time, Linghu Chong had already reacted that Feng Qingyang was from the Sword Sect.
And the"Nine Swords of Dugu" belonged to Feng Qingyang. In Linghu Chong's eyes, wasn't it the Sword Sect's swordsmanship?
The Sword Sect's swordsmanship was"evil and devilish" in Yue Buqun's words.
Linghu Chong himself was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat, how could he have the courage to teach Yue Buqun?
In the final analysis, whether it is the stone wall moves or the"Nine Swords of Dugu", these two controversial points are actually the troubles left over from the"Sword Qi Dispute".
……
Fourth, make friends with Tian Boguang.
Tian Boguang has committed many evil deeds, there is no doubt about that, and it is not an exaggeration to cut him into pieces.
Why did Linghu Chong not kill him, and why did he become friends with him?
It has been made very clear before.
In the final analysis, it is a word of"righteousness".
In fact, even Yue Buqun acquiesced to this point, although Yue Buqun did not agree with it in his heart.
Otherwise, with Yue Buqun's temper, he would not have easily revealed the matter at that time.
In fact, in the matter of Tian Boguang, Linghu Chong can be said to be neither a human nor a villain.
If he is not killed, he will bear the stigma of"being friends with a lecherous thief".
If he is killed, some people will say that he is ungrateful.
No matter what Linghu Chong does, there will be people who think he is wrong.
《In"The Untold Story", is the lecherous monk Blood Knife Patriarch bad?
Very bad!
Worse than Tian Boguang!
He killed more people than Tian Boguang, and the number of women he defiled was also far beyond Tian Boguang's reach. He also had a Blood Knife Sect under his command that was doing evil everywhere.
But even for such a bad guy, why did the protagonist Di Yun refuse to kill him?
Because Blood Knife Patriarch was good to Di Yun!
Di Yun was persecuted along the way and was extremely miserable, but Blood Knife Patriarch not only saved his life, but also treated his wounds, gave Di Yun care and attention, and even did not abandon Di Yun when he was chased by powerful enemies.
It was precisely because of this great favor that Di Yun refused to kill Blood Knife Patriarch and eliminate harm for the people.
In the end, Blood Knife Patriarch died at Di Yun's feet because of an accident.
But did anyone accuse Di Yun of colluding with bandits because of this?
No!
And Tian Boguang also spared Linghu Chong's life several times.
In terms of the word"righteousness", in"Swordsman", anyone can kill Tian Boguang, except Linghu Chong.
Of course, it should be emphasized that the"righteousness" here is only a small righteousness, not a great righteousness. If Linghu Chong's"righteousness" is a great righteousness, then killing Tian Boguang is the right thing to do.
……
Fifth, making friends with bandits.
It is undeniable that the so-called"Gathering of Heroes in Wubagang" is called a gathering of heroes, but in fact it is a mixture of good and bad people, among which there are far more bandits and evil people than good people.
There are even scums like the"Two Heroes of Mobei" who eat human flesh and gnaw on human bones.
Linghu Chong drank with them at the same table and enjoyed it, calling them brothers and being unrestrained.
Yue Buqun expelled him from the sect in the name of"making friends with monsters and associating with bandits", which is actually reasonable.
You know, Huashan Sect is a famous and upright sect, but the eldest disciple of Huashan Sect publicly associates with those three religions and nine groups. Where does this put Huashan Sect? If the news gets out, Huashan Sect will be cut off from the right way of the world.
Liu Zhengfeng made friends with Qu Yang privately, and was exterminated by Songshan Sect.
And Linghu Chong's behavior is more serious than Liu Zhengfeng's.
If Yue Buqun hadn't kicked Linghu Chong out, I'm afraid that the Songshan Sect would have dared to hold the leader's flag and go with the flow to destroy the Huashan Sect directly!
But then again, is Linghu Chong to blame for this?
This question is a matter of opinion.
Let's make an assumption - you are seriously injured and your life is at stake.
You mistakenly think that you have accidentally killed your best brother.
The beloved woman of your childhood sweetheart has been stolen away, and she is flirting with your rival in front of you all day long.
Your adoptive parents have watched you grow up, but they suspect you of stealing.
Because of your adoptive father's attitude, your brothers and sisters stay away from you, and are even ordered to monitor you.
(Note: There is a detail in the book. After the battle in Yaowang Temple, Linghu Chong gave up on himself because of suspicion and drank all day long.
A dirty piece of clothing stained with mud had not been changed for several days, but no one cared about it, including Ning Zhongze.
It can be seen that Ning Zhongze may have been persuaded by Yue Buqun at this time and became suspicious of Linghu Chong.
Finally, Yue Lingshan came and gave Linghu Chong a clean new piece of clothing and asked him to change into it.
However, the reason why Yue Lingshan asked him to change his clothes was not because she cared about Linghu Chong, but because they were about to go to Lin Pingwai's official home, and Yue Lingshan felt that Linghu Chong's sloppy appearance would embarrass them.)
You are a guest in someone else's house and are falsely accused of stealing. Without any real evidence, you are beaten, both of your arms are dislocated, your face is slapped and bleeding, and your already injured body is even more injured.��
However, when it was proved that you were wronged, your family members did not stand up for you and seek justice. They just apologized verbally and let it go.
You were so angry that you wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but your adoptive mother shook her head to stop you.
So, you could only swallow all the grievances and endure it alone.
Just when you were alone and in the most unfortunate time of your life, a group of strangers suddenly ran out and took care of you in every possible way.
They accompanied you to drink, treated you as brothers, and found ways to treat your injuries...
But the quality of this group of people was uneven. There were heroes with heroic spirits and there were also unforgivable scum.
In this situation, what would you do?
Put yourself in their shoes. If you were faced with that situation, but still insisted on putting the Huashan Sect first and made a different choice from Linghu Chong, then you could say that Linghu Chong was wrong.
If your choice was the same as Linghu Chong's, then there would be no reason to blame you.
……
Of the above five points, Ye Luochuan personally thinks that there is nothing wrong with Linghu Chong's approach in the first three points. As for the fourth point, whether to choose small righteousness or big righteousness is a matter of opinion.
As for the fifth point, to judge whether Linghu Chong's actions are right or wrong, one should put oneself in Linghu Chong's situation and then make an evaluation. What really disgusted Ye Luochuan about Linghu Chong was when he met Xiang Wentian!
