| The title of this book is from
a Buddhist book. This story is complicated and with three main characters: Duan Yu, Siao
Fong, and the Buddhist monk Syu Jhu. Each hero has his individual story and three story
lines interweave to form this story. Prince Duan Yu of Dali Kingdom
ran away from home when he decided not to learn the inherited wugong of his family. He met
two girls, Jhong Ling and Mu Wangcing, in the Wuliang Mountains. Later on he found a
secret wugong book and learned new wugong, such as Beiming Shengong and Lingpo Weibo. He
married Wangcing when he returned the Dali Kingdom, then he learned that Mu was born to a
secret concubine of his father, in other words Wangcing was his half-sister.
Duan Yu increased his inner strength by exercising Beiming Shengong to gain inner
strengths from other wugong masters. Then he felt sick and his uncle, Emperor Baoding of
Dali, took him to get medicated in the Tianlong temple. At the same time the Tibetan
religious leader, Jiomo jhih was also in the temple and forcefully asked the Monk Master
Kurong to give him a book recording the wugong, Liumai Shenjian. In order to keep the
secret of the wugong, the monk turned to Duan Yu and asked Yu to remember the context of
the book. Yu did, then he destroyed the book. Joumo, who was furious, kidnapped Yu. Yu
escaped and came across three girls Wang Yuian, Ajhu, and Abi. Yu felt in love with Yuian
and Yuian happened to be Yu's half-sister, same father different mother.
Yu made friends with the leader of Gaibang, the gang of beggars, Ciao Fong and they
pledged a sworn brotherhood. Later on Ciao Fong was informed by the elders of Gaibang that
he was originally from Kitan and his father was killed by an Elder brother of the martial
arts circle. Ciao Fong resigned and was going to avenge his father. He was in love with
Ajhu. Unintentionally he wounded Ajhu, so he took Ajhu to the Changbai Mountains to dig
for ginseng to medicate her. Once he captured the king of the Taliao Kingdom and released
the king, then he assisted the king in stopping civil wars, and was promoted to be the
Nanyuan Dawang of the Taliao Kingdom. |
