Guo Jing was born in a Han Chinese family in northern Jin
Dynasty. His father was killed by the Manchurians when he was a baby. His mother moved to
Mongolia where he grew up and learned wugong from his father's friends, the Seven Odd
Masters of Jiangnan. He performed excellently in a battle so Genghis Khan decided to marry
his daughter to him, but he refused because he decided to leave for China to avenge his
father.
He met a clever girl called Huang Rong, and also realized
that his father's best friend's son Yang Kang about his age was nurtured in the Jin
Palace. Kang had changed his family name to that of the Jin imperial family, Wanyan,
because his mother was re-married to a Prince.
Together with Huang Rong, Guo Jing started his adventure.
They met Hong Cigong, head of the beggar society, Gaibang, and Hong taught Guo Jing the
powerful martial arts Sianglong Shihba Jhang. Later the three visited Huang Rong's family
on the Peach Blossom Island, which the Huang's owned. They came across the wugong master
Jhou Botong there and with Jhou's help Guo learned a precious wugong called Jiuyin
Jhenjing, which was the secret wugong of Huang Yaoshih, Huang Rong's father. Yaoshih found
out and became very angry. He forced the outsiders to leave. Their ship was racked in a
storm and they were rescued by Ouyang Fong. When Ouyang realized that they carried a book
recording the precious Jiuyin Jhenjing, he robbed them of the book. Huang Rong ran away
from home to help them, and Hong Cigong yielded his position, head of the Gaibang gang, to
Huang Rong. |
