Rewatching HSDS, there seems to be many events that does not really make sense.
We already have separate threads for "Why Dragon Sabre and not Heavenly Sword" and "Why ZWJ insist on breaking Du Monks formation"... here are some others that I just thought of.
Can someone try to justify some of these events:
1. It seems that in the original novel, Xie Xun already knew ZZR is the killer right from the start. Why did he not reveal this to ZWJ?
2. ZWJ, probably the best physician alive at that time, mistakenly thought Zhu'er died.
3. How did Zhao Min gang manage to wipeout Shaolin when they have the 3 Du Monks? Common reason I see is because the Du Monks stayed far away from the main building. That is really a weak reason IMO. Shaolin, as the number 1 sect in Wulin, must have at least a few hundred disciples. Kong Wen the abbot is also pretty powerful on his own. Surely they could have sent a few disciples to ask the Du Monks for help?
4. When the 6 sects were being locked up, ZM went to meet ZWJ for a drink ALONE. Now, wouldn't it be much easier for ZWJ to capture ZM as hostage to exchange for their release? Instead, he risked the lives of his wudang uncles and the whole righteous wulin, who could all definitely have perished in that battle. He wasn't even that madly in love with ZM at that point.
