In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, a generation of knight-errant Zhang Qiuwu was killed mysteriously. The murderer wanted to eliminate the root cause, so Zhang Qiuwu's ten-year-old only son Zhang Zhichan left his hometown and fled alone. In the process of evading pursuit, he got acquainted with the fair-weather monk Mingxuan, the cunning and eccentric little girl Ruan Feixu, the master of Jiaomu Hall Qiu Cheng, and Miss Pangfu. After many twists and turns, he came to Shouyang Mountain to study under his master.
On Shouyang Mountain, because he secretly studied with the Huahua Taoist Ling Xuzi who was expelled from the door, and was later wrongly accused of being the murderer of his master, he had to escape down the mountain. After several dangers and tribulations, he got acquainted with He Nanqiao, the master and second disciple of Plum Blossom Valley, by chance, and became his disciple. A few years later, he grew up and his martial arts improved greatly. He was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to Wuyu Valley in the south of the Yangtze River to get a scripture.
After a storm in the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the valley and met the beautiful and kind-hearted girl Qingshuang, the cunning and eccentric maid Huamei, and the eccentric valley owner Long Sishui. After accidentally eating the Jiagui Buyuan Dan from Master Long Gu, I heard a sad and touching story. On his way back, he accidentally learned that Ling Xincheng, the murderer who killed his father that year, was not the real murderer, but someone else. After several chases, he somehow became the head of the Yandang Sect.
Later, he went to Shouyang Mountain, and with the help of Sixth Master Bo Zhuo Zhenggong, he found out the real culprit who killed his master and cleared his grievances. After many ups and downs, he got acquainted with Lu Bailing, a martial arts genius, Yuan Kong, the abbot of Shaolin, and others. Finally, he took on Ling Xincheng with his sword and avenged his father. With the help of everyone, he defeated the ambitious former leader of the Yandang Sect, Ding Xiaoyu, and retired to the mountains with his beloved girl.
