Where there are people, there is conflict; where there is conflict, there is the jianghu. This is a small village, surrounded by mountains on three sides, on the eastern edge of the Cangqing Plateau in the 1980s. Long ago, the locals carved the mountains into enormous earthen towers. A great river flows ceaselessly to the north, and wisps of smoke always rise from an ancient temple at the village's highest point. With the morning bells and evening drums, the village seems all the more peaceful and mysterious. Here, an ordinary farmer's son is about to embark on an extraordinary journey. From a life of mediocrity and obscurity, he will earn his classmates' admiration; from weak and insignificant, he will grow into a formidable force and a giant who stirs the jianghu. He will go from lively and cheerful to cunning and calculating, from witty and humorous to grave and composed, from shouldering the duty of righteousness to leaving his little world behind and dominating the lands beyond. Come and see the wondrous journey this young man takes through the jianghu...
