During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Tong Lin worshiped two Taoist priests, Shang Daoming and He Daoyuan, as his disciples in Hushan. After practicing martial arts for fifteen years, he was ordered by his master to go down to the mountain to start a martial arts family. Because he was trapped in the capital, he was accepted as a teacher in Baylor Mansion by the fourth prince Yinzhen. Tong Lin and Bagua Mountain became enemies of each other.
