5 masters "unjustly" The best in Kim Dung's story: He has the nickname of a villain, but is actually a hero

Even though they have nicknames that sound like evil people, they are actually righteous heroes.

Misunderstandings about nicknames of masters in the Wanderer

Everyone says that gangsters are evil, but the evil lies not in the sword but in the human heart. Because “wherever there are people, there are gangsters”, the rumors on the street cannot be completely trusted.

For example, the saying in Ỷ Thien Do Long Ky: “The martial arts are supreme, the dragon is protected by swords, commanding the world, no one can obey, Ỷ Thien does not appear, fiercely fighting the wind” is completely a rumor. People who have the Y Thien Sword and Do Long Dao cannot command the heroes, but on the contrary, they can bring disaster and death to themselves.

According to the Sohu news site, in Kim Dung's works, there are five masters given nicknames by the gangsters that at first glance seem like evil people, but in fact they are all great heroes of the sect.

Doc Co Cau Bai: From “Sword Demon” to a righteous gentleman

The first expert to mention is Sword Ma Doc Co Cau Bai. The appeal of Kim Dung's story probably lies in characters like Doc Co Cau Bai. Although he has never officially appeared in any works, he is a character that readers cannot ignore.

Because the swordsmanship he left behind was extremely refined, it helped Duong Qua, Phong Thanh Duong and Linh Ho Chong become masters. Even though they only learned a little bit of that swordsmanship, it was enough to join the ranks of the greatest masters of their time.

So what kind of person is Sword Demon? Looking at the nickname, it seems that he has trained in martial arts to become ignorant, and trained in swords to become demonic. Many people think that being a “ghost” is definitely not a good person. But the truth is not so, Sword Ma's tombstone is enough to prove what kind of person he was.

On the tombstone, it is written: “Having roamed the streets for thirty years, killing all the villains, defeating all the heroic heroes, the world has no more opponents, there is no other way, I have to retire in the depths of the valley, ending Friends with the eagle. Alas, I've been praying for an opponent all my life but can't find it, it's so lonely and uncomfortable.” It can be seen that he defeated the hero and killed all the enemies and evildoers. This is enough to show that he is a righteous person. However, few people know the story of such a great warrior.

Kha Tran Ac: “Flying heaven and sea” with a chivalrous heart

Giang Nam That Quai are definitely the characters most suitable for the image of a great hero in the Kim Dung story. Of course, their martial arts are not high, at most only rank 3. But that's why their chivalrous actions are even more precious.

Taking Kha Tran Ac as an example, no matter who the opponent is, if they are evil in his eyes, he will punish them without caring about the consequences. Therefore, he spat at Dong Ta and used a stick to beat Tay Doc. Of course, the conflict between him and Dong Ta was just a misunderstanding. Hoang Duoc Su is not a bad guy. But Kha Tran Ac dared to challenge Ngu Tuyet, which was enough to see that he had a chivalrous heart.

However, his nickname is Phi Thien Bien Bat (Bat). The image of a bat does not have a good meaning, for example, in the future, Thanh Wing Bat Vuong Vi Nhat Tieu is not a good person. Therefore, Kha Tran Ac's nickname can easily cause people to misunderstand.

Hoang Duoc Su: “Dong Ta” but not evil at all

As mentioned above, Dong Ta has never been an evil person. It's just that his title “Dong Ta” easily makes people misunderstand. In the story, there is a passage where Old Doc Au Duong Phong had the following conversation with him: “Au Duong Phong smiled and said: 'Brothers this morning came from the West, stopped at a library, heard the name of the Confucian scholar. This lecture to the students, why do you have to be a loyal servant and a filial son? The brother was so bored that I killed him. You and I, Dong Ta Tay Doc, are indeed in the same boat.' Having finished speaking, he laughed loudly. Hoang Duoc Su's face changed and said: 'The most loyal and filial servant I have ever respected in my life.' Then he bent down, scooped up dirt into a hole, buried the other person's head, and respectfully made three bows.

It can be seen that the word “evil” in “Dong Ta” does not mean evil but “not according to common rituals”. He just has a strange personality. The things he does, besides breaking the legs of a few disciples, are all righteous things. In the revised version, Kim Dung even added more about the character Hoang Duoc Su, saying that he once stood up to defend the people, known as “Evil Great Hero”. He also did not go through the process of conversion, because he was inherently upright.

Duong Qua: “Crazy Western” but full of spirit

Tay Cuong is Duong Qua's nickname. Readers who follow the plot will know what kind of person Duong Qua is. Although he is not a hesitant or indecisive person, he always thinks carefully before acting. Even when faced with people who could be enemies who killed his father, Quach Tinh and his wife, he considered what kind of people they were and did not act blindly.

Although in the process of wandering around, Duong Qua also went down the wrong path, but just like the name Qua Nhi that Quach Tinh and his wife gave him, meaning “correct your mistakes” and he always knows how to turn back. eventually became the Condor Heroes.

During Hoa Son's third debate, he inherited the “Western” position of Western Doc Au Duong Phong, adding the title “Western Crazy”, making people feel that he was an extravagant and crazy person. It's hard to imagine that he is a great hero. In comparison, the nickname The Condor Heroes sounds much better.

Truong Tam Phong: From “Lathap Taoist” to martial arts master

In martial arts stories, there is no shortage of monks, especially Taoists. However, most of them are often built into villains. For example, in Ỷ Thien Do Long Ky, Truong Tam Phong once mentioned a reclusive expert named Bach To Dao Nhan. He said: “I thought thirty years ago, Bach To Dao Nhan died, the extremely sinister martial art, Huyen Minh Than Chuong, was lost. Who would have thought that there are still people in the world who know this kung fu.”

There is no doubt that Bach To Dao Nhan is definitely an evil pagan. He relied on Huyen Minh Than Palm to rampage the martial arts world, extremely poisonous, even Truong Tam Phong could not do anything to that unique palm.

As for Truong Tam Phong himself, as a master of the Taoist sect, he also has a similar nickname, which is La Thap Dao Nhan (Scrappy Taoist). In the story, it is mentioned that when Truong Tam Phong was young, he was indeed famous as a gangster with this title: “I only saw him with a tall body, white beard and hair, shiny rosy face, smiling face and looking very approachable. , but the green cloth robe was unbearably dirty. Everyone knew that Truong Tam Phong had a free-spirited personality and did not care about details. When he was young, the gangsters secretly called him 'Lathap Taoist'. Some people also call it 'Truong Lap Thap', it wasn't until later, when martial arts became higher and higher, and its reputation became more and more illustrious, that no one dared to call it that anymore.” If you meet a Taoist dressed in such shabby clothes, how can people in the world associate him with a good person? It's easy to misunderstand.

It can be said that these five people are the most “unjust” masters in the Kim Dung story. Their external names sound like villains, but in reality they are all heroes.
