In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers invaded and the court was dominated by treacherous officials. The two families of Guo and Yang were married by their own hands, and were later killed by the Jin soldiers. Qiu Shu Ji and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan made a bet: to find the descendants of Yang and Guo and teach them martial arts, and to compete in the Smoke and Rain Building eighteen years later. Guo Jing and Yang Kang are brought up by the Jiangnan Seven Monsters and Qiu Shi Ji, a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect, respectively.
Eighteen years later, Guo Jing was ordered by his master to go south. Yang Kang, however, is greedy for riches and recognizes a thief as his father. Guo Jing and Huang Rong fall in love with each other at first sight, but due to a number of factors, including Hua Zhen's marriage contract and the opposition of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, the two men's emotions can be described as a series of twists and turns. When his five masters are killed on Peach Blossom Island, Guo Jing leaves Huang Rong in anger. This pair of young people who are in love with each other have gone through ups and downs before they have reached the fruit of their loins.
Yang Kang, a man of many words and deeds, died a horrible death in the Temple of the Iron Gun in Jiaxing. Guo Jing with Huang Rong's homeland traveled thousands of miles, all know the world of martial arts masters, kung fu day to day to improve, and finally be able to avenge the murder of his father, eliminate the grudges of the masters, seize the "Wumu Legacy," the rate of the army's westward march, take the teachings of the late mother, on the Mount Huashan debate, to save the Xiangyang national tragedy.
Guo Jing is reunited with Huang Rong, who has survived a major disaster, at Mount Hua. Ouyang Feng, who is delirious from practicing the wrongly written Nine Yin Sutra, wins first place. Huang Rong uses a trick to force Ouyang Feng away, and the Mount Hua Sword Festival ends. Guo Jing and Huang Rong bid farewell to the dying Temujin and left hand in hand. The original simple and simple, mute and stupid eagle shooting hero, into a country for the people, compassionate and chivalrous.
ExpandedAccording to Jin Yong's own words: when he wrote "The Shooting Eagles", he was working as a screenwriter and director for Great Wall Films, and the books he read during this period were mainly Western drama and theater theories, so some of the plots of the novel were dealt with unconsciously as a theatrical body, especially the section of the Niu Family Village where he was healed in the secret room, which is completely a stage drama with scenes and characters dispatches.
The Legend of the Eagle-Shooting Heroes has undergone a number of changes. Jin Yong in the revision deleted some of the story or characters do not have a necessary connection with the plot, such as the little red bird, frogs and clams battle, Iron Palm Gang murder, etc., removed the character of Qin Nanqin, she and Mu Nianci into one, but also added some new episodes, such as the opening of the Zhang fifteen books, Qu Lingfeng theft of the paintings, Huang Rong forced people to carry a sedan chair and the Changling encounter with the rain, the yellow Shang wrote the "Nine Yin True Scriptures," and so on.
