神雕 ending has never mentioned about the fate of YG and XLN after they left the rest. The ending of ROCH is more about introducing 九阳真经, zhang junbao and jueyuan to lay the path for start of HSDS.
If XLN really dies, I wish YG will go and marry GX.. although it is impossible cuz it's already mentioned in HSDS that GX never found them and instead settled at mount emei at aged 40.
Arghhh i am writing this on GAGT for the third time.
The previous two time GAGT froze out.
The premise of discussion shall be based on what the author has wrote and penned down. And not what those tiong wannabes that inorder to satisfy their own needs for closure.
Back in those days where there is void, people will try to fill it up with their own conclusion, often skewd misinterpretations, ridiculous hypothesis and misappropriation of author's original thoughts.
Let us KIV these rubbish works that is out there 射雕英雄傳 (前傳 & 後傳) 神鵰俠侶 (後傳) 倚天屠龍記 (前傳 & 後傳) 鹿鼎記 (後傳), there is still quite a buckload out there.
Some are works from people who are enthusiast (prolly Asperger Syndrome sufferer who need to justify every 漏洞 bug or lack of what they deemed as proper closure 交代)
some are just profitter that plagiarized 金庸 work to publish in china back in those days where it is hard to find the 明河出版社 version, as 查良鏞 先生 works was deemed unreable literature by 共匪。
Thus the bloom of underground publishing to meet the insatiable appetite for 查良鏞先生著作。
Thats where all the before and after epilogue, sideline story, even 射雕英雄床史, 色雕俠侶。。。
This is tiong for the world to see. And with all these jokers around, 查良鏞先生 have publicly denounced these filth and said for the record he only wrote 15 books, nothing more.
Thus many wannabes continue to write ridiculous plot twist just to sensationalised viewership to their webby.
Their claim that it was 耶律齊 that 叛變 郭靖&黃蓉 to sell out 襄陽 to 忽必烈 is a joke.
Then 郭芙 left 耶律齊 to 轉嫁 楊過 cos 小龍女 情花毒 acted up and killed her. What absurdity.
Saying 楊過handing over of 君子&淑女劍 to 郭靖 to 鑄成 倚天劍屠龍刀 was due to 小龍女 passed on else 小龍女 wont give away their 定情信物。 then they really is see 小龍女 no up. To her any item or people is inconsequential and irrelevant, only 楊過 matter, more so they are retiring to 終南山 活死人墓 they have no use for the 兵器, thus 轉贈 to 郭靖 for portection 襄陽。
As for 楊過, he lagi no need sword, as what he learn from the 劍意 left behind by 獨孤求敗 [四十歲后,不滯于物,草木竹石,均可為劍。自此精修,漸而進于無劍勝有劍之境。」書中曾有描述及傳承的有兩項:玄鐵劍法及獨孤九劍]
The point is 楊過 no longer require a physical sword as he gave them as a gift out of love for the 郭靖 & 黃蓉 , and not as described by these imbecile as gave up the sword after despair of losing 小龍女。
