Jin Yong already hinted at the true origin of the sweeping monk in his book. There are three points that can be proved. What are they?
In this topic, let’s talk about the story about the sweeping monk.
In "Dragon", the sweeping monk is undoubtedly the shortest but most eye-catching person. With just a few words, he suppressed Jiumozhi, Xiao Yuanshan, and Murong Bo. For these three people Every time he takes action, he defeats the enemy with one move. The level of martial arts is rare in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as superb. But in the book, Jin Yong didn't even give him a name, he just replaced his name with "that old monk". But Jin Yong has three hints about who he is? Which three places are they? Let’s hear the editor continue.
The first point:
This is a point that everyone is very familiar with. Jiumozhi used the small phaseless skill to activate the "phaseless robbery finger" to sneak attack on the sweeping monk, but Directly blocked by his three-foot Qi wall, he saw through Jiumozhi's Taoist martial arts Xiao Wuxiang Kung at a glance, and explained that he was using Xiaoyao sect martial arts.
The second point:
On this point we have to mention two women, one is Tianshan Tonglao and the other is Azi. They have the same martial arts, which is the Turtle Breath Kung Fu. During the battle between Tianshan Child Elder and Li Qiu Shui, she used the Turtle Breathing Technique to pretend to be dead and deceive Xu Zhu and Li Qiu Shui. When Ah Zi was in Xiaojing Lake, she was thrown into the lake by Duan Zhengchun, so she used the Turtle Breath Kung Fu to hide under the water and pretend to be dead, and this Turtle Breath Kung Fu was also a Xiaoyao sect martial art. But the sweeping monk is more proficient in Turtle Breathing Technique than them, because it is not difficult to stop breathing on his own. Many top masters have this method. But the sweeping monk used his palm power to knock Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo into a state of slumber. This skill was so profound that it was incredible. This can prove that he may be the founder of Turtle Breath Gong.
The third point:
This point is easily overlooked, and many people may not care. The book describes Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo. One has too much yang energy and a weak fire, while the other has too much yin energy and is blocked by wind and cold. The sweeping monk resolves the trauma caused by the hostility in Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo through the method of "using yin to help yang, and using yang to transform yin". This method seems to be contradictory to the sweeping monk's repeated statement that Buddhism should be used to resolve the problem, but the book mentions it twice that Buddhism should be used to resolve it. Jin Yong's move is undoubtedly an act of "there is no three hundred taels of silver here". Therefore, the editor believes that Jin Yong's book emphasizes Buddhist solution twice, but uses the Taoist method of yin and yang reconciliation, just to explain the true identity of the sweeping monk.
The above three points all say that the sweeping monk points to one person, that is Xiaoyaozi, the founder of the Xiaoyao sect.
