The young Guo Jing was born and raised in Mongolia. While still pregnant with him, his mother
Li Ping fled the central plains in order to escape from enemies, who had killed his father
Guo Xiaotian.
Being a pleasant-mannered child, Guo Jing befriended the youngest son of
Genghis Khan and became sworn brothers with him. At the age of six,
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan would find him and teach him martial arts. Their reasons of teaching him had to do with a bet they had with the
Quanzhen Taoist
Qiu Chuji to see who could train the better student.
The same night
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan accepted him as a student, they encountered
Mei Chaofeng, who was practicing
Nine Yin White Bone Claw. She had previously blinded
Ke Zhen'e and murdered his older brother. As the seven attacked
Mei Chaofeng, she summoned her husband,
Chen Xuanfeng to support her. Chen Xuanfeng gave Zhang A'Sheng, one of the
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, a lethal hit with Heart-Destroying Palm. He grabbed the little Guo Jing, trying to threaten the
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, but the frightened Guo Jing took out a dagger, stabbed Chen Xuanfeng in the navel and killing him.
Teen YearsEdit
Guo Jing had trained with
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan for around ten years, but he showed below average progress. His progress was extremely slow and was frequently scolded for it. His lack of progress wasn't his fault however, because when each of
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan taught him individually they would often contradict what Guo Jing had just learned from the previous teacher.
One day, Guo Jing encountered
Quanzhen Taoist
Ma Yu.
Ma Yu would teach Guo Jing
Quanzhen Internal Cultivation Techniques for two years, greatly improving his internal power. This internal power boost would result in an improvement in his external arts from his teachers as well.
Guo Jing would also help
Genghis Khan in a crucial battle and gain his confidence and liking.
Genghis Khan even made Guo Jing the fiancee of his daughter
Hua Zheng, who had been a childhood friend of Guo Jing's. Guo Jing only felt the love between siblings for
Hua Zheng, but he didn't decline the marriage proposal, instead he only said he needed to go to the central plains with his teachers.
Central PlainsEdit
Because of a bet made years ago by his teachers, Guo Jing left Mongolia and went to the central plains to meet
Yang Kang, the lost son of his father's (
Guo Xiaotian) sworn brother
Yang Tiexin.
His teacher would later leave him and let him travel alone in order to gain some experiences in Jianghu. During this time, he would meet his future wife,
Huang Rong who was disguised as a beggar.
They would go through many adventures, such as meeting
Yang Tiexin and his adopted daughter
Mu Nianci.
Yang Tiexin would eventually reunite with his wife
Bao Xiruo and run off together. Their son,
Yang Kang would decide to stay with his adoptive father and
Yang Tiexin and
Bao Xiruo would commit suicide when there was no escape from
Wanyan Honglie.
Disobeying his teachers, Guo Jing would continue to travel with
Huang Rong, encountering different people and getting into many different adventures.
Hong QigongEdit
They would later meet North Beggar
Hong Qigong, who through the bribery of
Huang Rong's cooking would accept the two as students.
Guo Jing would learn the
18 Dragon Subduing Palms while
Huang Rong would learn the
Dog-Beating Stick and become the 19th leader of the
Beggars' Sect.
Guo Jing would learn the first 15 palms in one month. He would learn the remaining three later on.
Peach Blossom IslandEdit
Guo Jing later went to
Peach Blossom Island to ask East Heretic
Huang Yaoshi for
Huang Rong's hand in marriage. There, he met Old Mischief
Zhou Botong, who realized Guo Jing had the second volume of
Jiu Yin Zhen Jing. Guo Jing had picked it up when
Mei Chaofeng dropped it, but never realized what it was.
Zhou Botong forced Guo Jing to memorize the second volume and the first volume that was in his possession.
Zhou Botong would also teach Guo Jing the
Vacant Fist and
Left/Right Technique, two extremely advanced forms of martial arts that would greatly help Guo Jing later on.
When asking for
Huang Rong's hand in marriage, Guo Jing would have competition from
Ouyang Ke, the son of West Poison
Ouyang Feng. A competition was held to determine who would marry
Huang Rong and Guo Jing was victorious. Afterwards,
Zhou Botong and
Huang Yaoshi got into an argument and in a fit of rage both destroyed their respective volumes of the
Jiu Yin Zhen Jing, making Guo Jing and
Zhou Botong (Subconsciously) the only ones to know it in its entirety.
Ouyang Feng would later capture Guo Jing and force him to write out the
Jiu Yin Zhen Jing. Guo Jing would write out a fake copy for
Ouyang Feng. During their escape attempt,
Hong Qigong would be severely injured by
Ouyang Fengtemporarily nullifying his martial arts. The boat they were on would sink and they would all wash up onto an island.
With
Hong Qigong injured, Guo Jing was forced to do what
Ouyang Feng told him. They would later escape the island, but eventually
Ouyang Feng would get to them again.
Ox VillageEdit
Guo Jing would be severely injured after being stabbed by
Yang Kang. To save him
Huang Rong would use the healing techniques of the
Jiu Yin Zhen Jing. The technique however, required seven days so they found a secret room in a house in Ox Village. It was there that they witnessed
Yang Kang murdering
Ouyang Ke by stabbing him.
The
Quanzhen Taoists would later arrive in this location and encounter
Mei Chaofeng.
Huang Yaoshi and
Ouyang Fengwould arrive later, and to save
Huang Yaoshi,
Mei Chaofeng took a blow from
Ouyang Feng, killing her.
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen also suffered casualties, when
Tan Chuduan died during the battle.
Beggar SectEdit
Guo Jing,
Huang Rong, and
Hong Qigong would later go back to the
Beggars' Sect and officially name
Huang Rong his successor, afterwards he went into seclusion to regain his internal power.
Huang Rong, who had her
Dog-Beating Stickstolen by
Yang Kang would later be seen as an enemy of the
Beggars' Sect when a corrupt
Beggars' Sect elder killed the other elders and named
Yang Kang as the official successor.
Eventually Guo Jing and
Huang Rong were able to show the
Beggars' Sect the truth and the corrupt elder was captured.
Iron Palm SectEdit
Guo Jing and
Huang Rong would have encounters with Iron Palm Sect Leader
Qiu Qianren, with Guo Jing and
Huang Rong being trapped in the Iron Palm Sect Catacombs, where they would find Yue Fei's war manual.
Huang Rong would also be severely injured by
Qiu Qianren's Iron Palm, an injury so great, that even the
Jiu Yin healing methods had no effects.
Yi DengEdit
They would find out from
Zhou Botong that there was one person that could save
Huang Rong, this person turned out to be South Emperor
Duan Zhixing who had become a monk under the name
Yi Deng. On their way to
Yi Deng, they would encounter
Ying Gu, the ex-wife of
Duan Zhixing, who had an affair with
Zhou Botong.
Ying Gu blamed
Yi Deng for the death of her child and gave a piece of cloth her child had worn when he died to Guo Jing in order to use guilt to make
Yi Deng to save
Huang Rong.
Yi Deng's disciples continuously tried to stop Guo Jing and
Huang Rong from reaching
Yi Deng, but eventually they did and
Yi Deng saved
Huang Rong.
Yi Deng would also help the couple figure out the sanskrit portion of the
Jiu Yin Zhen Jing.
Back to Peach Blossom IslandEdit
Guo Jing and
Huang Rong would return to
Peach Blossom Island only to find
Huang Rong's mother's tomb opened, and five of Guo Jing's masters dead inside. Assuming it was
Huang Yaoshi that did it, he tried to end his relationship with
Huang Rong and swore revenge against
Huang Yaoshi.
Quanzhen vs. The East HereticEdit
The
Quanzhen elders would seek out East Heretic
Huang Yaoshi for the death of
Tan Chuduan, with
Yin Zhiping taking
Tan Chuduan's place in the
Big Dipper Formation.
Yin Zhiping was quickly taken down and Guo Jing would take the spot in the formation, being much more effective.
They were later attacked by the Jin Empire and
Ouyang Feng. Guo Jing,
Huang Rong, the
Quanzhen elders, and everyone else were seperated.
Huang Rong escaped with
Ke Zhen'e, who had wanted to kill her. They hid in a temple where
Ouyang Feng and
Yang Kang talked and revealed that it was them that killed Guo Jing's five masters.
Huang Rong would later be captured by
Ouyang Feng and
Ke Zhen'e would tell Guo Jing everything he heard.
MongoliaEdit
Guo Jing would spend months searching for
Huang Rong, but would be unable to find her. He eventually returned to Mongolia, where he became a general for the Mongols and helped them defeat the Jin Empire.
Guo Jing used Yue Fei's war manual for the battles, Ouyang Feng would eventually come attack Guo Jing, attempting to capture him after losing
Huang Rong.
Huang Rong, who had stayed in the Mongol Camp, had been secretly helping Guo Jing the entire time. With the help of
Huang Rong, Guo Jing was able to outsmart
Ouyang Feng three times and win several crucial battles for the Mongols.
Ouyang Feng would eventually knock
Huang Rong down a cliff and captured Guo Jing. Guo Jing eventually escaped and helped the Mongols defeat the Jin Empire. When
Genghis Khan's plans for conquering China and kill Guo Jing were revealed, Guo Jing's mother
Li Ping commited suicide to allow her son to escape.
Second Huashan TournamentEdit
At the second Huashan Tournament, Guo Jing found out, Huang Rong was still alive. They were finally reunited and through the insistence of
Huang Rong, instead of
Hong Qigong and
Huang Yaoshi facing each other,they would instead face Guo Jing for 300 stances. The one to win with the fewest stances would be considered the winner.
Guo Jing managed to last 300 stances with both Greats, when a crazed
Ouyang Feng appeared. His unorthodox arts derived from the
Reverse Jiu Yin Huang Rong had taught him had increased his power, but lost him his sanity. Eventually he ran off trying to figure out his own identity.
Mu NianciEdit
Guo Jing and
Huang Rong would later run into
Mu Nianci, who was now caring for her and
Yang Kang's son. The child, who hadn't been named yet was given the name
Yang Guo by Guo Jing and
Huang Rong who told
Mu Nianci to come live at
Peach Blossom Island if she ever needed any help.
MongolsEdit
Guo Jing and
Huang Rong would go see
Genghis Khan once more, before defending the Chinese army against the Mongols. Guo Jing and
Huang Rong were victorious in the battle and returned to
Peach Blossom Island when they got married and had children.
