"The Legend of the Iron Whisk" is one of the masterpieces of the martial arts novelist Zheng Zhengyin in the Republic of China. The story begins with the imperial censor Xiao Weiqian being convicted of a poem and his whole family suffered. Only his son Xiao Wenjie escaped from the capital with the help of three gangsters, Zhu Yisou, Flying Fox Liu Yunting and Tie Yingying. In order to expose the unjust case and protect their uncle Xiao Shouqian who was far away in Liangzhou, the group embarked on the snowy road of exile in the northwest. On the way, they not only had to deal with the pursuit of the imperial cavalry step by step, but also struggled to survive in the extremely cold and dangerous terrain.
At the Iron Lion Tower on Ganliang Road, they encounter the mysterious old man Qiu Jie, who has lost his arm, and his family. After a series of trials and confrontations, they finally turn enemies into friends and form an alliance.
Three generations of Qiu Jie's ancestors and grandson are all martial arts masters living in seclusion. Their joining adds new power and variables to this desperate journey.
As the plot progresses, Xiao Wenjie and others gradually discover that it is not just ordinary officials who are chasing them, but also powerful insiders and scum.
"The Legend of the Iron Whisk" continues Zheng Zhengyin's novel style of rigorous layout and vigorous writing, with ups and downs of plot progression and delicate and vivid character portrayals.
The description of the northwest wind and snow scene in the book is very graphic, and the description of martial arts martial arts is even more realistic and fierce, fully demonstrating the vigorous and profound artistic characteristics of the "Northern Martial Arts".
