Legend of the Condor Heroes, Mei Chaofeng can be regarded as a typical villain, cruel and indiscriminately killing innocents, but can't escape the mindset of Jin Yong's martial arts world.
Mei Chaofeng betrayed the Taohua Island of Shimen, but he still defended Huang Yaoshi’s daughter Huang Rong very much. Why?
The last warmth of human nature
Mei Chaofeng and her husband Chen Xuanfeng are not only the direct disciples of Huang Yaoshi, the master of Peach Blossom Island, but also "children", which means that Mei Chaofeng themselves are orphans adopted by Huang Yaoshi.
Huang Yaoshi is a perverse personality and moody, but he also has a glorious side of human nature. He adopted Qu Lingfeng, Mei Chaofeng, Chen Xuanfeng, Lu Chengfeng and other disciples, not only teaching them martial arts, but also giving them a way to survive. In the ever-changing era of martial arts, it was almost impossible for these children with no father and no mother to survive. They were lucky enough to be able to come to Peach Blossom Island. So Huang Yaoshi is not only their master, but also their father. Z1z Huang Yaoshi can be regarded as the only person who feels the warmth of humanity in Mei Chaofeng's life for decades except for his brother Chen Xuanfeng. Aiwu Jiwu, she naturally wants to take care of Huang Rong, Huang Yaoshi's only daughter.
After Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng escaped from Peach Blossom Island, they not only slaughtered the Quartet in the martial arts, but also never made a friend except for the murder. Even after arriving in the desert, the local herdsmen were massacred in order to cultivate Jiuyin White Bone Claw. Later, in Zhao's palace, Yang Kang was taught as an apprentice only to be able to live in seclusion in the palace, so there was no mentorship between them. But man is not a machine, it is impossible to have no emotions. In particular, Mr. Jin pays attention to the multi-faceted description of human nature, and Mei Chaofeng is even less likely to be ruthless at all times. And this only human tenderness was shown after she met Huang Yaoshi's daughter Huang Rong.
The seed of fear planted from childhood
Huang Yaoshi is very good to a few disciples in life, but he is cold and arrogant, coupled with extremely high martial arts. Therefore, several of his disciples were extremely afraid of him since they were young, and never thought of being able to talk to him on an equal footing, which made Mei Chaofeng never dared to offend Huang Yaoshi.
She and Chen Xuanfeng stole the Jiuyin Scriptures and escaped from Peach Blossom Island is the most daring decision in their lives. This was done while Huang Yaoshi was away.
So when she saw Huang Rong, the first thing she thought of was whether Huang Yaoshi came. Once Huang Yaoshi was nearby, she wouldn't even have the courage to escape. Therefore, her only chance was to try her best to please Huang Rong, because Huang Yaoshi's only weakness at the time was Huang Rong. Once Huang Rong interceded for her, she would still have a chance to live.
Mei Chaofeng, such a murderous murderer, is so afraid of Huang Yaoshi, except for psychological reasons, his strength is not allowed. When she talked with Chen Xuanfeng privately, she said that even if their martial arts were ten times stronger, they couldn't match Huang Yaoshi's two fingers. This is simply the difference between ants and elephants. Z1z Out of survival instinct, Mei Chaofeng is also the daughter of Huang Yaoshi who never dare to underestimate Huang Rong.
Jin Yong's "duty and loyalty" in the world of martial arts
Master Jin's world of martial arts has its own set of moral systems, the most important of which is to respect the teacher and respect .
A person in the world can not say who his master is, but he can never say that he does not have a master. There are almost no exceptions to this point. Even the youngest Nanhai Crocodile God, one of the four villains of the Tianlong Babu, lost a bet to Duan Yu and could only serve as Duan Yu's apprentice, and finally died for Duan Yu.
This point is also very obvious in Mei Chaofeng. Although she and Chen Xuanfeng escaped from Taohua Island, it is because Taohua Island is no longer just a home for them, but a prison. They fled out of a yearning for freedom, and they did not intend to betray Huang Yaoji.
Therefore, Mei Chaofeng has always been devoted and loyal to Huang Yaoshi. In the end, Mei Chaofeng died in order to block the palm of Huang Yaoshi. Before he died, his biggest wish was to hope Huang Yaoshi would let her rejoin Peach Blossom Island.
Mei Chaofeng is so loyal to his master Huang Yaoshi, it is not surprising that Huang Rong is cared for. Love House and Wu,Taking care of Huang Rong is the best reward for Huang Yaoshi. So even if Huang Rong let Mei Chaofeng die, she might do it without hesitation, let alone just take care of Huang Rong.
