   The legendary swordsman Xie Yanke made a promise: whoever obtained the "Mysterious Iron Token" could command him to do something. However, the token ended up in the hands of a down-on-his-luck young man nicknamed "Dog Bastard." Xie Yanke racked his brains trying to deceive and even kill the boy, but always failed. Dog Bastard, innocent and carefree by nature, was kidnapped and used by the Chang Le Gang because of his identical appearance to Shi Zhongyu. It turned out that a rumor circulated in the martial arts world that anyone who received the Reward and Punishment Token would be killed, and the Chang Le Gang wanted him to take the token for them. Dog Bastard had a series of adventures: he became sworn brothers with the Reward and Punishment Token, was mistaken for the son of the Black and White Swordsmen, was taken in as a disciple by Granny Shi, and won the heart of the young girl A Xiu... Ultimately, with his superior martial arts skills, he defeated Bai Zizai, the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect, and cured his madness. Bai Zizai and Gou Zazhong travel to Xia Ke Island, unraveling a mystery that has plagued the martial arts world for years. Will they return safely? What is the secret of Xia Ke Island? What hidden meaning is concealed in an ordinary ancient poem?
