"The Copper Corpse" and "The Iron Corpse" (銅屍鐵屍)

The Seven Freaks searched for six years for Guo Jing but to no avail. They stumble upon the six year old Guo Jing and were quite disappointed at his lack of intelligence. Nonetheless, they arrange to meet him at midnight to begin his tutelage. That Evening the Seven Freaks accidentally stumble upon the practice grounds of Mei Chaofeng (梅超風) "The Iron Corpse" (鐵屍) where she was practicing Nine Yin White Bone Claw (九陰白骨爪) on a human sacrifice. She was responsible for blinding Ke Zhen'e and murdering his older brother. The Seven Freaks knew they wouldn't be able to defeat both Copper Corpse (銅屍) and Iron Corpse (鐵屍) together so they decided to attack Mei Chaofeng while she was alone. The Seven Freaks were not able to penetrate her "Iron" body training but did succeed in blinding her with Ke Zhen'e's poison darts. Mei Chaofeng summoned her husband, Chen Xuanfeng (陳玄風) "The Copper Corpse," (銅屍) for help. Chen Xuanfeng (陳玄風) struck Zhang AnSheng, (Fifth Brother of the Seven Freaks) with a lethal hit with his Heart-Destroying Palm (摧心掌). Chen Xuanfeng grabbed a hold of little Guo Jing who was there to meet the Seven Freaks. During the battle with the freaks the Chen Xuanfeng had used a technique to make his body invincible to the attacks of the Seven Freaks but this left a nodal location vulnerable in his navel. The frightened Guo Jing instinctively took out his little dagger and stabbed Chen Xuanfeng in the navel and thus killed him. Zhang AnSheng died from the strikes he received from Chen Xuanfeng (陳玄風).

Mei Chaofeng, who was blinded in that battle, swore to avenge her husband. Unable to recognize Guo Jing by sight, her only clue was the dagger and name on it: Yang Kang. When she tracked down her quarry, her subsequent attacks on Yang Kang led her to realize that she had the wrong boy. She subsequently became a master to Kang. Yang arranged the human sacrifices Mei needed to perfect her Bone Claw, and in exchange she taught him the basics of that technique. Despite the self-serving nature of each, they eventually developed a strong teacher-disciple bond over the years. All of this, of course, was done behind Qiu Chuji and Kang's parents' back, showing a glimpse of Yang's ability to deceive and willingness to break with tradition.

Following the death of Yang Kang's parents, Ke Zhen'e decided it would be best for Guo Jing to be raised by the upright Quanzhen Taoist sect (Qiu Chuji's school).

Feng Heng (Traditional Chinese: 馮衡) is a fictional character in Jinyongs The Legend of the Condor Heroes. ... Guðrún agitates her sons, Hamðir and Sörli, to avenge their sister. ...

During his time in the cave, Zhou Butong has learned to separate his mind so that he can have his left hand fight his right. He wants Guo Jing to fight with him (as Guo Jing waits for Huang Rong to contact him) so it can be a four man fight. He teaches Guo Jing the Vacant Fist style, teaches him to fight as two different people by separating his mind, and tricks him into memorizing the entire Nine Yin Manual (which Guo Jing unknowingly obtained from Mei Chaofeng.) For other uses, see Mind (disambiguation). ...

Guo Jing receives a note from Huang Rong saying Ouyang Ke(Ouyang Feng's and his brother's wife's son) was betrothed to her by her father and is coming to visit with Ouyang Feng. Guo Jing finds his way there to interrupt their meeting. Hong Qigong appears to try to betroth Huang Rong to Guo Jing. Huang Yaoshi decides to let there be a contest between Ouyang Ke and Guo Jing to decide things. Guo Jing ends up winning (despite Huang Yaoshi's test favoring Ouyang Ke) and reveals he somehow knows the entire Nine Yin Manual by heart.

He is driven from the island with Zhou Botong and Hong Qigong with a leaking ship when Huang Yaoshi thinks that Guo Jing lied to him about giving Zhou Botong the second part of the Nine Yin Manual. The three are captured by Ouyang Feng and Ke, who wants to learn the Nine Yin Manual. Zhou Botong jumps in the ocean some time later after the capture, because Ouyang Feng wanted him to write out the Nine Yin Manual. Guo Jing eventually provides him with a fake Nine Yin Manual. Eventually, Hong Qigong and Huang Rong are stranded on an island with Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Ke, and Guo Jing floats onto the island a few days later. Ouyang Ke is tricked into a trap by Huang Rong, and his legs are crushed under the weight of a thousand-ton boulder. Eventually, the rest of the martial artists help to get him out under Ouyang Feng's command. Hong Qigong's martial arts are also destroyed in the process, and he passes on the Mastery of the Beggars' Sect to Huang Rong, along with the unbreakable Bamboo Dog-hitting Staff.

General of the Mongolian Empire

In their adventures, Guo Jing and Huang Rong wrestled a military textbook (Wu Mu Yi Shu), written by the late great Song Dynasty general Yue Fei, from the hand of Wanyan Honglie and his subordinates.This textbook contains invaluable military maneuvers and wisdoms that Yue Fei used against his enemies before being framed and persecuted.

Returning to Mongol, Guo Jing joined Genghis Khan's expedition against the Persian army. With the help of Huang Rong, Guo Jing learned and applied the maneuvers and disciplines from the book to his troop. In time, he became one of Genghis Khan most trusted and undefeated general using superior military maneuvers from the textbooks. He captured the last Persian stronghold and captured Wanyan Honglie, ally of the Persian army, on site.

But soon, Genghis Khan ordered the killing of every citizen in the fallen city. Horrified, Guo Jing intervened and fell out of favor with his benefactor. Soon his mother was forced to commit suicide, after telling her son to remember his Song heritage. Fleeing from the Mongol army, he would use his military knowledge to defend Song Dynasty from the Mongolian empire.

Characters

Protagonists

• Guo Jing (郭靖) - The son of Guo Xiaotian and Li Ping. Although he was somewhat dim-witted, he was honest to a fault and absolutely loyal. Possessed of a strong moral sense, his stubborn refusal to give up more than makes up for his slow learning process. He learned martial arts from the Seven Freaks of the South , as well as some of the internal methods of the Quanzhen sect. He was to learn the fearsomely powerful Xianglong Shiba Zhang, or the 18 Dragon-Subduing Palms, which was to boost his skill by a lot.
• Huang Rong (黃蓉) - The daughter of the eccentric master of Peach Blossom Island, Huang Yaoshi (黃藥師), she initially disguised herself as a little beggar and was befriended by Guo Jing. Clever, quick witted but also somewhat spoiled, Huang Rong falls for Guo Jing's honesty and righteousness. She learned martial arts and formations from her father.
• Mu Nianci (穆念慈) - The foster daughter of Yang Tiexin, adopted while he was wandering in disguise as Mu Yi. Hong Qi Gong once taught her some martial arts, instantly making her a better martial artist than her foster father. She fell in love with Yang Kang.

• Yang Tiexin (楊鐵心) - Yang Kang's father and sworn brother of Guo Xiaotian.

Antagonists

As is usual for Jin Yong, the villains of this story have entirely defensible motivations.

• Yang Kang (楊康) - The sworn brother of Guo Jing and a prince of Jin. He was the son of Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo. He is the epitome of the Chinese proverb, "Love the father who raised you over the father who sired you." Initially introduced as Wanyan Kang (before his biological father is revealed), he lives the spoiled life of a prince's son, his personality progressively darkened as the series went on, as he became obsessed with power, betraying family and friends and masters. He was the disciple of Quanzhen's Qiu Chuji, and secretly became the disciple of Mei Chaofeng. He met a tragic end when he tried to kill Huang Rong. Yang Kang struck the metal spikes on Huang Rong's protective vest, which had previously been indirectly poisoned by Ouyang Feng's snake venom. Ouyang Feng refused to save him as he discovered from Huang Rong that Yang Kang was his son's true killer. Unable to save Yang Kang and unable to persuade Ouyang Fang to save him, his step-father Wanyan Honglie, was forced to leave him for dead. His corpse was eventually consumed by wild crows, who also fell dead from the poison in his body. He fathered a son with Mu Nianci, named Yang Guo.
• Ouyang Feng (歐陽鋒) -Father of Ouyang Ke and lord of White Camel Mtn. He goes by Western Poison, or Xi Du. One of the five great martial arts experts in the world, he has committed many heinous acts, including discrediting his "brother," Huang Yaoshi, by impersonating Huang Yaoshi and killing 5 of the 6 teachers of Guo Jing. This incurred Guo Jing's wrath. Guo Jing cut off ties with Huang Rong and set to kill Huang Yaoshi. Only did he learn that Huang Yaoshi wasn't the culprit did he realize his mistake at casting Huang Rong aside when he set off for revenge against her father. Ouyang Feng has coveted the Jiu Ying Zhen Jing (Martial Arts Scroll) since he was introduced into the story. He received tidbits from Guo Jing and Huang Rong. But to thwart his evil ambitious, Guo Jing and Huang Rong taught him martial arts movements that messed with Ouyang Feng's qi, driving Ouyang Feng insane.
• Ouyang Ke (歐陽克) - The nephew and disciple of West Poison (Xi Du) Ouyang Feng. In truth, Ouyang Feng was his father, who had an affair with his sister-in-law. Infamous for abducting and raping many young women, Ouyang Ke desired a union with Huang Rong. He was killed by his friend, Yang Kang, who wanted to be the disciple of Ouyang Feng (who would pass his skills to only one disciple, which was Ouyang Ke at that time) and also because Ouyang Ke's lust for Mu Nianci.
• Qiu Qianren (裘千仞) - The leader of Iron Palm Sect(鐵掌幫). He was unable to participate in the first tournament at Hua mountain, and thus was believed to be less powerful than the Greats. He took great exception to this, and was prideful of his skills. He was known for powerful Iron Palm and his qing gong skills (speed travelling), which was advanced enough to enable him to traverse over water, earning him the nickname of water-skimming (水上飄).
• Qiu Qianzhang (裘千丈) - Qiu Qianren's elder twin brother. Because they look so much alike, he often pretended to be his brother. Qiu Qianzhang has almost no martial art skills and depended on his brother's reputation or trickery to cow his opponents. He was usually used for comic relief.
• Wanyan Honglie (完顏洪烈)- Sixth prince of Jin and Yang Kang's foster father. Having fallen in love with Yang Kang's mother, he arranged for Dian Tiande's attack on the Guo and Yang families, so he could pose as a hero and "save" her. As the king's favorite son and a likely candidate to be the next Jin Emperor, he searched for Yue Fei's War Manual to consolidate his country's domination over the Southern Song and counter the threat of Genghis Khan and the Mongols. His love for Bao Xirou is also transferred onto Yang Kang, his adopted son.
• Chen Xuanfeng (陳玄風)- Husband of Mei Chaofeng and renegade disciple of East Heretic (Dong Xie) Huang Yaoshi (黃藥師). After deciding to elope with his younger apprentice sister and lover, Mei Chaofeng, they stole the second volume of the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing manual. Unable to fully understand the theories therein, they used what they could decipher and adapted their own training methods, which became cruel and dark along with their personalities. He was called The Bronze Corpse (銅屍) and with his wife earned the nickname Twin Ghosts in Black Wind (黑風雙煞). He was killed rather accidentally by the young Guo Jing in Mongolia. His skin, tattooed with the writings of the manual, was flayed by his wife and preserved.
• Mei Chaofeng (梅超风)- Wife of Chen Xuanfeng and renegade disciple of East Heretic (Dong Xie) Huang Yaoshi. She was blinded by Ke Zhen'e in a fight against the Jiangnan Freaks, and secretly became the teacher of Yang Kang. She was called The Iron Corpse (鐵屍) and with her husband earned the nickname The Two Ghosts in Black Wind (Heifeng Shuang Sha, 黑風雙煞). Despite the fact that she and her husband referred to each other in impolite terms, only her love of her husband could trump her devotion to her teacher. She eventually proved her devotion to her teacher, Huang Yaoshi, when she sacrificed her life for his blocking a surprise attack from Ouyang Feng.

The Five Greats

The Five Greats (Chinese: 天下五絕; Pinyin: tian xia wu jue), or the five most skilled and powerful martial arts masters of Jin Yong's wulin during Guo Jing's time were: 東邪 西毒 南帝 北丐 中神通 Louis Cha or Zha Liangyong (sometimes Cha Leung Yung), OBE (born June 6, 1924), known to most by his penname Jinyong (Jin Yong) or Kam-yung (Cantonese), is one of the most influential modern Chinese-language novelists who is also the co-founder of the Hong Kong daily Ming Pao. ... Pinyin, more formally called Hanyu Pinyin (Simplified Chinese: ; Traditional Chinese: ; Pinyin: ), is the most common variant of Standard Mandarin romanization system in use. ...

• Wang Chongyang (王重陽) - Known as Zhong Shen Tong (中神通) or Central Divinity. Before he founded his Taoist school of martial arts, Quan Zhen Sect, he fought for his country against the Jurchens. He won the martial arts tournament on the mountain Hua Shan (華山論劍) and was thus crowned the most powerful of the five. The prize was the sacred book, Scripture of Jiu Yin (九陰真經 Jiu Yin Zhen Jing). Before his death, he split the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing into two volumes: the first dealing with internal energy cultivation, the second dealing with techniques to use that internal energy. If the book were to fall in the wrong hands, it could spell disaster, and Wang Chongyang contemplated destroying the manual before he died. Instead, he decided to direct his apprentice brother, Zhou Botong (周伯通) to find two places to hide the volumes, preserving it for future generations. Knowing that Ouyang Feng desired the book, Wang Chongyang faked his own death. When Ouyang Feng attempted to steal the book, Wang Chongyang managed to strike with surprise, severely injuring and driving Ouyang Feng away. Wang Chongyang died shortly after.

• Huang Yaoshi (黄藥師) - Known as Dong Xie (東邪) or East Heretic/East Evil. His name means "Medicine Master Huang"; nicknamed "Huang Lao Xie" (黃老邪 "Old Strange Huang"). Labeled an eccentric, he did as he pleased and refused to abide by the rules and tradition that governed the world of (江湖 Jiang Hu) martial arts at the time. This accounted for the fact that almost his complete martial arts repertoire was created by himself, especially his renowned technique the Divine Finger Thrust. He was the master of Peach Blossom Island and at one time had seven disciples. He could usually be seen with his jade flute which, when imbued with his prodigious internal energy, could drive a person to madness. His wife tricked Zhou Botong (周伯通) into allowing her to read the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing, and her prodigious intellect allowed her to copy the work for her husband verbatim. Two of his disciples, Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng secretly fell in love with each other and eloped, thinking that Huang Yao Shi would never approve of their relationship. They managed to steal the second volume of Jiu Yin Zhen Jing when they left. Huang Yaoshi's wife tried to scribe the volume out of memory again while she was pregnant. Weakened by the strain, she died during childbirth, giving birth to Huang Rong. Guilt over his wife's death prompted him to study medicine (hence the name Yaoshi) in an attempt to resurrect her, and also left Huang Yaoshi with a blind rage against those who would study the book that killed his wife. He is a honorable man and when he wants an answer he asks it directly for example when Huang Rong and Huang YaoShi met Hua Jen (華箏), Guo Jing's not-yet-wedded wife, he walked up to Guo Jing looked him in the eye and said," Guo Jing, tell this mongolian girl that you want to marry me daughter and you will never see Hua Jen again. If you say otherwise, I will kill you if you go anywhere near my daughter."

• Ouyang Feng (歐陽鋒) - Known as Xi Du (西毒) or West Poison. His obsession with the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing blinded him and darkened his personality. Known for his Toad stance and serpent staff, both of which could deliver crippling or even lethal poison. His disciple and "nephew" Ouyang Ke was actually his illegitimate son, the result of a liaison with his sister-in-law. After seizing a slightly changed copy of the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing from Guo Jing, Ouyang Feng began his corrupted training. Despite the improper channeling of his qi, Ouyang Feng's skills were so great he was able to wrench the incomplete teachings into the power he desired; as a side effect, instead of the death any normal person would have earned, he "merely" goes insane. At the end of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, no one could match his martial arts, from Huang Yaoshi or Hong Qi Gong to the rising star Guo Jing. Finally, he was tricked by Huang Rong into seeking the martial artist she claimed he could never defeat. And so he ran off, never realizing that this "Ouyang Feng" she spoke of was himself.

• Duan Zhixing (段智興) - Known as Nan Di (南帝) or South Emperor. He was the ruler of Dali, an independent country in southern China. Famous for his Yi Yang Finger, which had both medical and combat applications. He had four disciples, all of whom were once government officials of Dali, and afterwards were known as the Fisherman, the Woodman, the Farmer, and the Scholar. Guilt over the death of Zhou Botong (周伯通)'s illegitimate child led him to renounce his throne and become a Buddhist monk, and he lived secluded in a mountain monastery with an Indian monk who was known for his ability to treat poison.

• Hong Qigong (洪七公) - Known as Bei Gai (北丐) or North Beggar. He was the eighteenth leader of the Beggars' Sect and loved gourmet food and wine. Known for his Xiang Long Shi Ba Zhang (降龍十八掌 “The 18 Dragon Subduing Palms”), his Dog Beating Stick techniques (打狗棒法). He severed his right index finger out of guilt when his love of food caused him to fail a mission. This as well as his formidable martial arts prowess earned him the name The Nine-Fingered Beggar Master or Jiu Zhi Shen Gai (九指神丐). Hong Qigong seemed to prefer to teach a few moves where needed (cf. Mu Nianci) as opposed to taking on disciples. Huang Rong used Hong Qigong's love of good food against him, forcing him to choose between the food and accepting herself and Guo Jing as his disciples. Naturally, he soon had two official disciples. Later, he made Huang Rong the 19th chief of the beggar sect.
