First Sword of Wudang 武当一剑 Episode 1

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi, known as Shule Belle, conquered the Five Jianzhou Departments, attacking the Haixi Jurchen while attacking the Donghai Savage Jurchen with all his strength. At this time, Nurhachi surrendered to Daming on the surface, swearing allegiance to Emperor Wanli, but secretly he strove to strengthen his forces. In the town of Heihu in Liaole, Wudang lay disciple Geng Jingshi accompanied his wife He Yuyan, who was about to give birth, to the market. Just in front of the fish stall, He Yuyan was kicked in the stomach by the child.

Geng Jingshi felt that the child wanted to eat fish, so he asked He Yuyan if she wanted to eat fish, but He Yuyan felt that in this wild land, fish was too expensive and they couldn't afford it, so she didn't want to eat fish. Geng Jingshi believes that buying fish can relieve He Yuyan's hunger, and it is worthwhile for them to relieve their hunger, so he decided to buy some fish to eat. Because the money was too little, Geng Jingshi only needed a little bit of his tail. The fish seller was embarrassed to collect the money and gave it to them, but Geng Jingshi still left two copper plates for the stall owner.

When Geng Jingshi took the fish and went home with He Yuyan, he happened to ran into the little girl holding the carrier pigeon. He Yuyan liked the carrier pigeon very much, so he chatted with the little girl for a while. Seeing that He Yuyan liked it very much, the little girl gave He Yuyan a hug. Unexpectedly, an eagle flew over and took the pigeon away. Seeing the eagle, Geng Jingshi frightened He Yuyan, and immediately flew away to grab the carrier pigeon from the eagle and return it to the little girl, which caused a little trouble. The eagle is the Costin of the Jurchen general Hobto. Hobto's subordinates wanted to take Geng Jingshi and go back for business. They did not expect that Geng Jingshi's martial arts were so high. They couldn't help Geng Jingshi.

Hobto didn't cause trouble. He only posted Nurhachi's manuscript to let everyone know that Nurhachi will hold a competition on the Suzi River on the second day of February. The martial arts conference organized by Nurhachi attracted the interest of many warriors of the Jurchen tribe, and they were all ready to move, but the people Nurhachi wanted to attend most were people from Wudang clan, because the Central Plains Wulin was the biggest obstacle for him to enter the Ming Dynasty. The Wudang faction's current head is incomprehensible, and a plaque promotion ceremony is held within the Wudang faction. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Xiao of the Kunlun faction suddenly provoked.

Back then, Dongfang Xiao's master Xuan Zhenzi challenged Wudang, but because he was defeated by Wuxiang, he kissed himself and died. Dongfang Xiao came to Wudang to take revenge for this incident. Wuxiang explained the situation back then and wanted Dongfang Xiao to give up his thoughts of revenge, but Dongfang Xiao refused to listen to persuasion and insisted on taking action against Wuxiang. At this time, how Qiwu made a move. He Qiwu fought Dongfang Xiao with his injuries. Dongfang Xiao still didn't take advantage of him. He could only use the excuse that he didn't want to win the battle, and waited for He Qiwu to recover from his injury, so he left Wudang.

While working in the tavern to make money, Geng Jingshi had to take care of the pregnant He Yuyan, but he was still very busy, but he didn't expect that there were more and more people in the tavern. Geng Jingshi was afraid that He Yuyan was tired and wanted to send He Yuyan back, but He Yuyan didn't want to embarrass Geng Jingshi, so she insisted on going back alone. Wudang elder Wuji entered the tavern and noticed Geng Jingshi and He Yuyan. He did not show up, but quietly walked out of the tavern after He Yuyan left.

Nurhachi drank in the tent and talked to his men about Wudang. Because the Emperor Ming was fond of Wudang, he especially wanted to take Wudang so that Wudang could become his rocker for attacking Ming. Wuji showed up to meet He Yuyan when there were few people, and followed He Yuyan to where they lived. Wuji arrived at He Yuyan's house, looked at the simplicity there, felt the cold in the house, and felt distressed for He Yuyan. Wuji told He Yuyan about Wudang, indicating that Wuxiang and Yuyan’s father He Qiwu both called He Yuyan back, which reminded He Yuyan of the unhappy past that had eloped.

Geng Jingshi took the food and went home to see He Yuyan. He didn't expect to meet his friend Guo Pu halfway, and he overturned the food because of his excitement. Guo Pu joined Nurhachi under the pseudonym and discovered Nurhachi's ambitions, so he chatted with Geng Jingshi. After Guo Pu talked about his own affairs, he asked about Geng Jingshi's reason for coming here, and then he knew that Geng Jingshi had eloped here with He Yuyan. In order to make a living, Geng Jingshi decided to take He Yuyan to the Suzi River to participate in the martial arts competition to make some money, so Guo Pu left the rake he brought to Geng Jingshi.

He Yuyan happily waited for Geng Jingshi to return and told him the good news that he could go home, but Geng Jingshi didn't think this was good news, because he had nothing now, and he felt that going back was not a simple matter. When He Yuyan wanted to go home, Geng Jingshi pretended to agree to go back with her. When He Yuyan fell asleep, he left a note to tell He Yuyan that he was going to participate in the martial arts competition. He wanted to wait until he won the championship before returning home with He Yuyan. He Yuyan learned that Geng Jingshi had gone to participate in the martial arts competition, and immediately ran to find Wuji and explained the situation to Wuji clearly.

In the contest, Geng Jingshi successfully passed the first level with the Jianzhou Four Tigers and Jurchen Ge Hutu'an and others, and he is working hard to fight the next level and climb the snow mountain peak. Wuji went to watch Geng Jingshi's game. At this time, he found that someone had set off a cannon on the snow-capped mountain, deliberately causing an avalanche, burying all the contestants in the snow. When Geng Jingshi was hiding in the snow, he saw Hutuan falling from his vicinity, so he went to help Hutuan, but soon they were all buried in the gap in the mountain by the snow.
