The Legend of the Condor Heroes

The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Also known as Biography of Heroes in the Desert, it is Jin Yong's third martial arts novel and the first song of "The Trilogy of Shooting and Carving".

The story goes like this: At the end of Ningzong in the Southern Song Dynasty, Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, who lived in seclusion in the suburbs of Lin 'an, were killed by the Southern Song government in collusion with Wan Yan Honglie, the prince of the State of Jin. Guo's pregnant wife and Yang's pregnant wife Bao Xiruo also disappeared, and the bad news came. Qiu Chuji, a good friend of Guo and Yang, was furious and went after Guo and Yang's killers. He missed his lost friends and family and ran around Lin 'an in vain. Then, because of being deceived by traitors, there was a conflict with the seven eccentrics of Jiangnan in Jiaxing, and both sides lost. Afterwards, Qiu Chuji and the seven eccentrics in Jiangnan saw through the traitor's plot and made peace. Qiu Chuji made an appointment with the seven eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River to find someone to help Bao Xiruo, Yang Tiexin's wife, and the seven eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River helped Ping Li, Guo Xiaotian's wife, to raise their own children. Eighteen years later, they will meet again in Yanyulou, Jiaxing, and let the two children compete for each other. Once upon a time in America, the seven eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River made generous promises.

Guo's wife was kidnapped by an officer in the Southern Song Dynasty, and later captured by Jin Bing in the Southern Song Dynasty. She drifted all the way to the Mongolian desert and gave birth to a son in 10. Ping Li named the child Claire Kuo according to her husband's last words.

Time flies, Guo Jing is six years old. This year, he was appreciated by Mongolian Khan Temujin for laying down his life to protect a grassland hero and was taken back to the military camp by Temujin. Soon, he married Temujin's youngest son, Tuo Lei.

At this time, the seven eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River also visited Ping Li's mother and son in Mongolia, and finally stumbled upon Guo Jing. After six years of hard work, they got paid in one day. The Seven Monsters were beaming, and immediately enlightened Guo Jing and began to learn all kinds of martial arts.

Ten years later, Guo Jing has grown into a stout young man. Although gifted, due to the pressure and hard work of the Six Monsters, martial arts have begun to take shape, and were later taught by Quanzhen Sect to Ma Yuxuan's internal skills. In ten years, Temujin finally unified the desert and was honored as "Genghis Khan". Guo Jing was called "Golden Knife Xu" by Genghis Khan because of his outstanding military exploits.

The eighteenth year of the Covenant is approaching, and the six eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River will bring Guo Jingnan back. In order to let Guo Jing experience the Jianghu, the Six Monsters ordered Guo Jing to go first and follow him. Guo Jing rushed to Zhangjiakou and met Huang Rong, a teenager disguised as a man. They hit it off and fell in love with each other.

Guo Jing went all the way south to Beijing, the capital of the State of Jin. In the city, he was dissatisfied with a frivolous prince bullying a weak prostitute, and had a fierce battle with him. He was killed by Wang Fu's servant. This dirty prince is Guo Jing's righteous brother Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo's son Yang Kang. In those days, Bao Xire was separated from her husband and cheated into Beijing by Hong Yan, the prince of the State of Jin. In order to raise Yang Kang, Bao Xiruo was forced to bear the humiliation and become the princess of Hong Yanlie.

Accompanied by Guo Jing and Huang Rong, they met an old beggar with strange behavior on the edge of the Yangtze River. This old beggar is Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and a martial arts expert who is as famous as Huang, the father of Huang Rong. Hong Qigong liked Guo Jing's simplicity and honesty, and even more liked Huang Rong's cleverness, so he took them into the door wall and awarded his masterpiece, Eighteen Dragons, to Guo Jing.

Jing and Rong bid farewell to Hong Qigong and continued south. In Taihu Lake, they returned to Trang Van. They accidentally met Yang Kang, an envoy of Jin who was intercepted by a hero of Taihu Lake, and Duan Tiande, an official of Southern Song Dynasty who killed Guo Xiaotian. Guo Jing killed and told Yang Kang about Guo and Yang. Yang Kang pretended to promise to break up with Hong Yan Honglie, but secretly continued to recognize the thief as his father, and revealed Guo Jing's plan to assassinate Hong Yan Honglie in the north.

Guo Jing couldn't assassinate him, so he and Huang Rong hired a boat to go to Peach Blossom Island. On the island, he happened to meet Zhou, a master of Quanzhen religion and a martial arts legend, and forged a righteous knot with the "old urchin" who was addicted to martial arts and disrespectful, and was taught the stunt of "mutual communication and distraction" by Zhou. After Hong Qigong was seriously injured by Ouyang Feng, the "Xi Du", Huang Rong was ordered to replace Hong Qigong as the leader of the Beggars' Sect and go to Junshan in Dongting with Guo Jing to attend the Beggars' Congress.

At the same time, Guo Xu's spy Yang Kang also came to. He tried to impersonate the new leader of the Beggars' Guild by using the stolen staff of the Beggars' Guild, and drove the Beggars to surrender to Guo Xu. Jing and Rong arrived in time, exposing Yang Kang's plot.

A few days later, Jing and Rong came to the important place of Huxi School to look for Yue Fei's "Wu Mu suicide note". As a result, their whereabouts were exposed, and Huang Rong was seriously injured by the leader Qiu. Fortunately, Master Yi Deng, who abdicated as a monk, saved his life. During this period, Ouyang Feng and Yang Kang fled to the Peach Blossom Island, killed five people, including the seven eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River, and took the opportunity to frame Huang in an attempt to set off a bloody battle in the Wulin, causing Guo Jing and Huang Rong to turn against each other. Afterwards, Huang Rong saw through the conspiracy of Ouyang Feng and Yang Kang tactfully, cleared the unjust prison and got rid of the evil Yang Kang, but she fell into the clutches of Ouyang Feng herself. Guo Jing felt guilty after learning the truth, so he ran around looking for the whereabouts of Huang Rong, but there was no news.

Six months later, Guo Jing arrived in the Mongolian desert, just in time for Genghis Khan's Western Expedition. In order to capture Yan Honglie, who killed his father, Guo Jing fought and was appointed commander-in-chief of the right army by Genghis Khan. Soon after, Huang Rong and Ouyang Feng also went to the Western Expedition Army. Jing and Rong joined hands with Ouyang Feng to wage a fierce battle and captured them several times. Then, according to Huang Rong's plan, Guo Jing made great contributions in the battle against Samarkand, the capital of Huatuo Mozi. Genghis Khan's successful expedition to the west led to his ambition to attack the Song Dynasty in the south. Guo Jing, unwilling to be an enemy of his parents' country, decided to take his mother and flee Mongolia overnight. Unexpectedly, Genghis Khan noticed that his mother and son were captured, and Ping Li committed suicide on the spot to protect his son's loyalty. Guo Jing fled Mongolia with the help of Zhe Bie and Tuo Lei.

After the great changes, Guo Jing was disheartened. Thanks to Qiu Chuji's inspiration, he was able to make a comeback. At the top of Huashan Mountain, Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who ran away because of misunderstanding, met again and made up, and finally became a pair of martial arts heroes.

It's the day of the second Huashan sword talk, and Dong Xie, Du Fu, Bei Gai and Master Guo Jing have made moves in succession. In the end, the title of "the best martial arts in the world" was won by Ouyang Feng, who has been practicing Jiuyin Zhen Jing crazily.

The little dragon girl left sadly for Yang Guo to be accepted by Guo Jing and others, and then desperately wanted to die, but was saved by the ruthless valley owner. The Lord of Despair Valley was also fascinated by Little Dragon Girl and forced her to be his wife. On the eve of the little dragon girl's wedding, Yang Guo found the Valley of Desperate Love. When they met, the fire of love was unstoppable. Little Dragon Girl knew that Yang Guo's feelings for herself had never changed, so she refused the engagement of Desperate Valley Master.

When he woke up, he happened to find a god carving left by a senior master. With the help of the god carving, he practiced magic. At this time, the little dragon girl found herself raped by Zhen at that time and chased Zhen thousands of miles away. He was attacked by several experts of Quanzhen Sect and was seriously injured. When Yang Guo arrived, the little dragon girl was dying and incurable ... On her deathbed, the little dragon girl put on the bride's crown and dress, and they got married. Knowing that the injury was fatal and fearing that Yang Guo would perish together, the little dragon girl left a book under the cliff: See you again in sixteen years. I resolutely jumped into the abyss! Huang Rong comforted Yang Guo, saying that the little dragon girl had been taken away by the real owner and would come back to see him in 16 years.

Yang Guo killed the Mongolian emperor with great martial arts among all the armies, and the Mongolian army immediately fell apart.
