An original political and historical martial arts novel, inspired by the romances of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It begins with Yang Jian's replacement of the Zhou Dynasty in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and ends with the change of Xuanwu Gate. There are four novels in total: "The Way of the Green Dragon", "The White Tiger", "The Suzaku Tribulation" and "Xuanwu Gate".
With Wei Chigong, the famous founding general of the Tang Dynasty, as the protagonist, and with the inheritance and choices of the hidden lineage of philosophy as the hidden thread, it is a grand epic that connects the changes of three dynasties. Huanhuan Liuqi Jue, the highest martial art of the Li sect, has never been about killing, but about the righteousness of heaven and earth and loyalty in the world. The young Yuchi Gong was the true successor of the Li sect and came into the world with the Six Qi Jue. From an orphan whose parents both died, to a brave general on the battlefield who suddenly emerged, and then to the number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion, his life was a living history book of loyalty in troubled times.
The swordsmanship of the rivers and lakes is deeply bound to the power of the temple, and the original chivalrous people appear in the same frame as the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties: from Yang Jian's shocking conspiracy to usurp the Zhou Dynasty, to the hidden worries of the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty; from Yang Guang's murder of his father in the palace, to the 18th Route Army's rebellion against the king's struggle in the Central Plains; from the heroic ambition of Wagang Juyi, to the iron-blooded journey of Li and Tang's unification, and finally the final showdown at Xuanwu Gate that decided the fate of the world. Yu Chigong's iron whip splits the fog of troubled times, Qin Qiong's mace protects the peace of the people, Yuwen Chengdu's gold-plated phoenix wings reflect the tragedy of the end, and Li Shimin's Qin King's Sword points to the unity of the world.
Disciples of the Li sect stick to their true intentions in the turbulent political situation, use the Six Qi Art to cleanse evil spirits, and practice loyalty with a pure heart. It describes the cruelty of the rise and fall of dynasties, as well as the character and responsibility of heroes, aiming to awaken the long-lost and pure spirit of loyalty in the hearts of contemporary people.
Purpose: Based on the historical skeleton of the Xuanwu Gate from the late Northern Zhou Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, and the growth and choices of Yu Chigong as the main line, it combines original Neo-Confucian martial arts with real court intrigues. Through the "Huanhuan Liuqi Jue", the highest martial arts of the Neo-Confucian school, it interprets the righteousness of heaven and earth and the loyalty of the world, shows the character and responsibility of heroes in troubled times, and awakens contemporary people's recognition and inheritance of the pure spirit of loyalty.
