The Seven Disciples of Qingcheng

On Mount Qingcheng in Shu, shrouded in mist, seven young men, Fang Mingxuan, Fang Minghui, Fang Mingchen, Fang Minghao, Fang Mingran, Fang Mingyu, and Fang Mingming, swore brotherhood. They became disciples of Xie Yunhe, a reclusive swordsmanship master, and the jianghu came to know them as the Seven Sons of the Xie Family. Each of their names carried a profound meaning, and all seven embodied the chivalrous spirit. Over more than a decade, the seven trained hard in martial arts, each excelling in his own way. Together, they created the Seven Stars Swordplay, using the Big Dipper as its formation's core. Each man took one position: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. They coordinated, attacked and defended, scouted, led assaults, repaired weaknesses, provided cover, and launched surprise strikes. Their teamwork was flawless, and their power boundless. At the Mount Hua martial arts tournament, held once every ten years, the Seven Sons of the Xie Family faced the Black Wind Cult, notorious for its many crimes. They trapped their enemies in the Seven Stars Sword Formation and fought for three days. In the end, Fang Mingxuan slew the cult leader, making the seven famous overnight. Fang Mingxuan was also awarded the title of Number One Under Heaven. After the battle, the seven founded the Seven Stars Sword Sect on Mount Qingcheng and established the rules of protecting the people, rooting out tyranny, upholding righteousness, and guarding against arrogance. They welcomed talented disciples and each took on two students, joining forces to protect order in the jianghu. When the Black Wind Cult's remnants allied with the Western Regions' Demon Cult, the Jiangnan Salt Gang stirred up trouble, and the Shadow Pavilion launched assassinations, the seven and their disciples traveled far and wide to restore peace. They upheld their oath to protect all people with their swords, and their chivalrous legend was passed down through generations of the jianghu.
