The film tells the story of the rivers and lakes of grievance and hatred. Guo Jing, played by Xiao Zhan, left his hometown in his childhood. Although he was appreciated and respected by the masters and he was able to pass on the world’s peerless martial arts “Nine Yin Manual” and “Eighteen Palms of the Dragon,” but he aroused jealousy from all sides and became the target of public crticism. Guo Jing was neither arrogant nor humble, with a pure heart, he and Huang Rong, played by Zhuang DaFei, turned the tide in the rain of arrows and smoke and flags of iron cavalry to protect the border of the Southern Song Dynasty. The brave are fearless, and the great heroes are brave enough to pull mountains and rivers and become martial arts legends.
