Tianlong Babu
      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.
