Sweeper should be a surviving member of Kong generation of monks, above Ling men who is Xuan Ci's martial teacher.
I guess he was assigned in the scripture pavilion as a librarian and memorized all the books. He should be the only monk who trained correctly in the techniques of internal and external arts. Reading more buddhist scriptures will enhance Dharma which in return cultivate his internal energy.
I think sweeper is like the master of Zhang Sanfeng in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
Not distracted by wulin, or by temple administration and politics - simply spent time sweeping, tending to garden, read, meditate and accidentally assimilate martial arts...
The novel is really better than the tv series
Can Someren tel me in short what this is About and About the main?
Very short synopsis:
click to show/hide spoilers
Grab the chinese DVD (2003 version) - it is quite close to the novel...
The latest The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (2013 TV series) is a bit more accurate, especially the ending, Miss Wong taking care of her murdering lunatic cousin...
I actually gave up the 2013 version after watching 2 episode - xiao feng looks like a wimp, getting injured and all that .
There are actually 2 versions of the ending, both by Jin Yong. The revision has the ending scene you mentioned.
To be sure, I hated Duan Yu in the 2003 version...and also hate him in the novel
The audio dubbing is horrible on the latest version. From my understanding, many of the actors needed to re-dub their voices after the scene, there was some serious lip-syncing issues which were really annoying on many episodes. Even the Chinese actresses had lip-sync issues. They tried to make XiaoFeng larger by using prosthetic chest/shoulder plates & camera angle, but Duan Yu looked a bit too feminine.
does duan ever seriously learn martial arts or does he just keep getting saved by women the whole story?
does anyone have a link to the 3rd edition version online?
Not the version but list of changes in the 3rd edition.
Be warned: spoilers ahead
The same cousin who murdered helpless/paralyzed women and indirectly her own mother, and killed his own subordinates after they tried to stop him from dishonoring himself...? Hm.
Between this and ROCH 08, where Mu Nianci and Yang Kang had sex right next to Ouyang Ke's corpse, I'm beginning to think that girls like the bad boy. I mean really bad boys. Like "life without parole" bad.
