[In troubled times, a keen blade is tempered; on a crooked path, a loyal heart is forged. The legacy of the Condor Heroes stirs the soul of a knight, while a hidden edge carries on the righteous spirit of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.]
[Traditional wuxia, a Jin Yong fanfic. No transmigration, no System, no harem, no wish fulfillment, and the original characters stay true to themselves. May the classics live on.]
As the Song gives way to the Yuan, turmoil begins to stir across the martial world. A Shaanxi escort agency is slaughtered by a bandit gang skilled in Shaolin martial arts, and orphan Li Yanxiao's adoptive father is killed. Just when all hope seems lost, the one who appears is none other than the reclusive Yang Guo, the Condor Hero?
After three years of grueling cultivation in the ancient tomb, he descends the mountain with a jade pendant that holds clues to his past. Why do the clues point to Shaolin as his father's killer? And how does the pendant lead to Guo Xiang?
At Mount Emei, he joins Guo Xiang's disciple Shen Qingyao on a journey to Shaolin. In Hanzhong, he meets Yang Dingtian, only to fall into a sinkhole after clashing with Baishun Daoist. With a broken leg, how can he get the gravely wounded Yang Dingtian to safety? Shi Huolong of the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor comes to their aid, but does he share a hidden past with Yang Guo?
Is the girl in green who appears along the way truly an heir of Peach Blossom Island? While seeking treatment on Mount Hua, how does he stumble upon the sect leader's secret power struggle? And how will Zhang Sanfeng roam the martial world with his sword and found a new school?
From Mount Zhongnan to Mount Hua's forbidden grounds, from the Beggars' Gang's decline to the rise of the Ming Cult, the young man uses ancient tomb martial arts to navigate the clash between righteous and wicked factions. His journey not only uncovers secrets of the Guo family, but also touches on the beginnings of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber scheme. A storm that will reshape the martial world is quietly gathering in his wake.
To be honest, this novel has broken away from the nostalgic reproduction common in most fan works, embedding the wrinkles of personal destiny into the texture of changing times. This kind of "slow-burn" creation is incompatible with the "instant addiction" pursued by current free reading platforms. But looking at it from another angle, this "untimely" can actually attract readers who really pursue depth. I hope that the author can continue to serialize his ideas with this quality. As long as he maintains his adherence to the core of the traditional martial arts spirit and does not compromise with traffic, it will eventually become a masterpiece that fills the gaps in the classics and carries the chivalrous spirit in the sifting of time.
I got the taste and read it in one go. Tomato was able to find such a traditional book, which is much better than those messy ones.
It is closer to the flavor of Jin Yong's original work. It tells the story of the journey from the divine eagle to Yitian. The protagonist is blindly guessed to be Guo Polu's son. I've finished reading it. Please keep up the good work, the author. If I write it with this quality, I hope to become a god 😄
A rare good book, are the two Taoists the two elders of Xuan Ming? 🤭
The plot is good, but why doesn't the protagonist take Su Wanling to play with him? Looking forward to the follow-up
The plot is okay, the characters are written in detail, as long as it doesn't fall apart later
