这是个悲剧,英雄末路,回天无力…
在这个故事里,痴心人、泼胆汉,都没有好下场,至情者不为人所知,至性者不为世所容,那些高贵的灵魂、坚定的信念、缠绵的风流、不屈的骄傲…如幻影空花,皆被滔天浊浪席卷而去。
反倒是世间庸常男子,和世间平凡女子,得到了无价之宝—平凡的幸福。
这就是所谓的“达则兼济天下,穷则独善其身”,他们没有在乱世里翻云覆雨的能力,却能功不成而身退。是耶非耶…/p>
碧血剑的主角看似是袁承志,其实则是夏雪宜和袁崇焕,二者分别代表了情与义。交织到了袁承志这里,则一面是儿女情长,在温青青、阿九之间的情的纠葛;一面又是国仇家恨,在闯王、崇祯、满清之间义的取舍。
但是金老爷子对于这段历史,显然注入了超过别的历史的感情。是痛苦也好、是无奈也罢,总之异乎寻常的厚重。宋亡,亡的壮烈,明亡,则亡的凄惨。宋亡,是以区区江南之地对付席卷欧亚大陆的蒙古,明亡,是将千里花花江山,拱手让给满清孤儿寡母;宋亡是亡国,明亡是亡天下,是衣冠文物俱亡;宋亡是二十万军民崖山同日死,明亡则是投河又嫌水太凉。而在金庸小说里,前者是郭靖守襄阳,神雕夫妇与城同亡,后者则是袁承志带领一批乌合之众,与满清血战不敌的无奈。
而袁承志,一帆风顺练成了不世神功,江湖上行侠仗义、化危解难、一呼百应。然而却上不能驱逐鞑虏为国效力,中不能刺杀崇祯一雪家仇,下不能理顺情丝不负佳人。这其中的不能,有的是自身力有未逮,有的却是大局情势所迫。在我眼里,他是一个如同哈姆雷特般纠结的悲剧人物。最后出国当了海贼王,也算是个不错的归宿。
也难怪金庸会如此看重能力有限的袁崇焕,并称赞他为一团火。毕竟,那个时代太昏暗了,崇祯、李自成、吴三桂、皇太极、多尔衮……一个个都无法照亮那个时代……







































































围棋一道,最讲究悟性,常言道:“二十岁不成国手,终身无望。”意思是说下围棋之人如不在童年技成,将来再下苦功,也终为碌碌庸手。以苏东坡如此聪明之人,经史文章、书画诗词,无一不通,无一不精,然而围棋始终下不过寻常俗手,成为他生平一大憾事。他曾有一句诗道:“胜固欣然败亦喜”,后人赞他胸襟宽博,不以胜负萦怀。岂知围棋最重得失,一子一地之争,必须计算清楚,毫不放松,才可得胜,若常存“胜固欣然败亦喜”的心意下棋,作为陶情冶性,消遣畅怀,固无不可,不过定是“欣然”的时候少,而“亦喜”的时候多了。
木桑道人外号“千变万劫”。他年轻之时,因轻功卓绝,身法变幻无穷,江湖上送他个外号,叫做“千变万化草上飞”。后来他耽于下棋。围棋之道,讲究“打劫”,无数变化俱从打劫而生。木桑武功甚高,自己反称平平无奇,棋艺不过中上,却自负得紧,竟自行改了外号,叫做“千变万劫棋国手”。旁人碍于他面子,不便对他自改的外号全不理会,可是又知他棋艺和“国手”之境委实相去太远,于是折衷而简化之,称之为“千变万劫”。这四字其实还是恭维他武功千变万化,杀得敌人“万劫不复”。但如有人当面如此解释,木桑势必大为生气,定要对方承认这外号是指他棋艺而言,跟武功全不相干,才肯罢休。
袁承志棋艺日进,木桑和之对弈,反要他饶上二子,而袁承志故意相让之迹,越来越难遮掩。木桑兴味索然,自觉这“千变万劫棋国手”的七字外号,早已居之有愧,明明觉得承志的棋艺也只平平,可是自己不知怎的,却偏偏下他不过,只怕自己的棋艺并不如何高明,也是有的,但说自己棋艺不高,却又决无是理。这一日大败之余,不待局终,推枰而起,承志连声道歉,木桑一笑,飘然下山去了。
这几年来,关外军情紧急,满洲人居心叵测,千方百计想入寇关内。崇祯这人虽然疑心重,做事三心两意,但以抗御满清而言,比之前朝万历、天启那些昏君,总算还是竭力以赴的。要是你为了私仇,进宫刺死了他,继位的太子年幼,权柄落入宦官奸臣手里,只怕咱们汉人的江山马上就得断送,你岂非成了天下罪人?你父亲终身以抵御满洲、平定辽东为己志,他在天之灵知道了,一定也要怒你不忠不孝吧。国家事大,私仇事小。我不许你去行刺复仇,就是这个道理。
承志见百姓人人衣服褴褛,饿得面黄肌瘦。行出百余里,见数十名百姓在山间挖掘树根而食。他身边有师父留下的银两,却也无处可买食物,只得施展武功,捕捉鸟兽为食。又行数十里,见倒毙的饥民不绝于途,甚感凄恻。
