(Yi Tian Tu Long Ji)
Heaven Sword & Dragon Sabre is
the final novel of The Condor Trilogy. And as for me, this one is
my MOST favorite ancient kungfu story of all time!!!^O^ I just luv the
story!!
Coz of it's popularity, lots of TV/Film company
have adapted the novel to TV series or a movie, until now there are 7 different
versions of the series!!O_o 3 TVB series, 2 Taiwanese series, 1 Mainland-Taiwan-Singapore series and 1 movie. My most favorite adaptation are the TVB 1986 one!^___^
Before you start reading anything in this site, I just want you to know
that my knowledge about this series are based from what I have :
a. Watched 100% of the 1986 TVB version
As for the story itself, before it introduce
the real main character, the story introduce his parents first! Zhang
Cui Shan and Yin Su Su love story also the background of the
main conflict of the story. After that, the main character, Zhang Wu
Ji, introduced as a 10 years old boy who happens can't learn kungfu,
coz he is wounded by two greatest martial artist who works for Mongolia.
But, then fate change his destiny, when he's about 20 years old, he got
through amazing adventure 'till he reach as one of top martial artist also
the chief of Ming Jiao sect, known as the evil sect.
Aside his story how he reached top kungfu,
he also have love issues with 4 girls!!^^ And, frankly, Zhang Wu Ji's
quite indesicive when it comes about girls. First, he promised a girl named
Yin Li, who happens to be his cousin, that someday he will marry
her. Second, he care so much about an innocent and soft girl, also his
loyal servant, Xiao Zhou, who happens to be the next chief of Ming
Jiao Center in Persia. Third, he's engaged with Zhao Zhi Ruo,
his childhood friend, also a disciple of Ngor Mei clan, very innocent and
lovable girl, but wait 'till someone hurt her heart....she's not the girl
she has used to be anymore ^_^. Fourth, he hate her, but sometimes also
have chemistry with the sharply beautiful, cunning, intelligent, playful,
a little selfish, and Wu Ji's supposibly biggest enemy, the Mongolian
Princess...Zhao Min!!^.~
The story's background itself is about the
heaven sword and dragon sabre, which are the most powerful weapons in the
martial arts world, and EVERY clan wants it to achieve the highest title
in the martial arts world. But, not so much people know about the secrets
of these two weapons, except the chiefs of Ngor Mei clan, from generation
to generation, since Ngor Mei clan built by Guo Xiang, the daughter
of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, the ones who created the weapons
^_^
Why do I like this one?? Overall, because of the storyline itself!! It's
amazing! Okay, I'll discuss it one by one :
1. Jin Yong kinda divided the focus story to TWO main characters, Zhang Cui Shan and Zhang Wu Ji, this what makes it interesting...and it makes the story more...alive!
2. The rare pentagon love story!!^^ I mean, Wu Ji actually love these four women!!^_^
3. Ming Cult unique structural and the people who leads them are very
interesting people with different characteristics. And, how Ming Cult is
the branch of the Center Ming Cult in Persia. It's all very interesting!
And, also, how the story focus on the conflicts between five clans and a
cult, which involved lots of characters too.
Well...that's three main reasons of my many other reasons why I love this
story!!^^ What about you???^^
