The people without ears then practiced martial arts in caves and became a sect, which was called "Earless Sect". The main altar of the Wuer Sect is located in the Xiaoshan Mountains, covering an area of ??hundreds of acres, with hundreds of believers. The religious discipline is extremely strict, but the believers have low self-esteem and are incompatible with other sects.
As time goes by, they become more and more estranged from normal people, and there are many misunderstandings. Some people take the opportunity to frame the fault without any guidance. For this reason, there was a stir in the world. (See Gu Long (See Gu Long's "Sword Qi Fills the Sky and Flowers Fill the Floor")
Beggars Gang
The largest martial arts gang in the world, composed of beggars all over the world. In the martial arts novelist In the world of Jianghu, beggar gangs existed from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, stretching for hundreds of thousands of years. It can be said that the beggar gangs appear to be scattered, but in fact they are very well organized, with very loyal disciples and extremely strict discipline. In addition to the leader, who is the leader of the gang, there are also several elders who are divided into many places. The status of his disciples is generally based on the number of bags he carries, with nine bags being the highest and one bag being the lowest. But it is not the best in the world. The greatest ability of the Beggar Clan is that its disciples can be spread everywhere, and they can organize teams to fight at any time, and they can also track and monitor the enemy's situation. This is why the Beggar Clan is outstanding. When they want to accomplish a major event that benefits the martial arts world, they usually seek help from the Beggar Clan. The Beggar Clan has always been very righteous and will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for justice and friendship. The senior members of the Beggar Clan are the lowest social status group. However, they are all strong-willed and have noble character, and there are very few despicable people. Therefore, among the many works of martial arts novelists, only the Beggar Gang has always appeared as a positive character, and is the real "well-known family". . Since Shaolin and Wudang, all the other characters have been written as negative images that are difficult to overcome the desire for power. This may reflect the civilian consciousness of martial arts novelists: a hero who is keen on eliminating violence, doing justice, and suppressing the strong and supporting the weak. Writers who create novels naturally have a strong sense of civilians, respecting the people and despising authority; secondly, if a beggar gang wants to remain a beggar gang forever, it naturally has to live in the open and walk in the streets and alleys of the wilderness. Its existence This determines its unchanging consciousness. Different novelists have slightly different opinions on the internal composition of the Beggar Gang. The famous leaders of the Beggar Gang can be said to be Hong Qigong and Huang Rong in Jin Yong's works (see "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"). "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"). Hong Qigong's uninhibited style, game-playing style, and Huang Rong's quick wit and strict discipline have become the unique character traits of the future Beggar Clan leaders. In Jin Yong's writings, the unique martial arts of the Beggar Clan is fighting. The Dog Stick Technique uses a green jade bamboo stick to make the otherwise arduous and extremely difficult life of the Beggar Clan poetic. On the above, whenever the person holding the command talisman appears, it is like the leader of the gang is present; sometimes even the gang leader has to take orders from the person holding the talisman and mobilize the gang to drive for the leader. Fortunately, the novelists did not let the command talisman fall into the hands of petty people, otherwise it would be unimaginable. At first, the Beggar Gang was divided into Southern and Northern factions. In the Ming Dynasty, the "Poor Family Gang" appeared again. They participated in various turmoils in the world many times, but they never became the protagonists and became all-powerful for a while. This also reflects the martial arts novels. Some limitations or negligence of writers.
The above deeds of the beggar gang are all described by novelists, but the situation of beggars in modern life is slightly different. In history, beggars are not compatible. As a special class among the three religions and nine streams of society, organized beggars have become a profession. Although the beggars do not have a neat and unified organizational form as in the novel, it is inevitable for them to live in gangs. Various forces are closely connected and become part of the underworld. According to research, the leader of the beggars is called "Huazitou". Huazitou has a leather whip in his hand, which is a tool used by autocratic beggars and a symbol of power. As long as a member of the gang violates the gang rules, he or she will be expelled from the gang or the local area, or even beaten to death. There is such a legend in modern times: Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty was persecuted by the emperor's treacherous ministers. He escaped from the palace in disguise, wandered around the world, fell into a group of beggars, made many friends, and became a flowerhead. Soon, his identity as emperor was revealed, and all the beggars knelt down to worship the real dragon emperor and vowed to avenge the dragon head brother. Tang Minghuang said: "One day, when I return to the palace, I will kill all the treacherous ministers and bad guys, so that we poor brothers can feel proud!" The brothers of the Beggar Gang asked: "Will you still know us poor brothers by then?" The poor guys who did not forget the suffering of the Communist Party used leather strips to weave a dragon-shaped black leather whip and named it "Dragon Whip". Then he hung the dragon whip on the wall, knelt on his knees and swore: "This whip will beat the king at the top, the ministers at the bottom, and also the beggars who change their minds. If I change my mind after taking the throne, any of you can use this whip to beat me." Me, don’t hit me." Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty left this dragon whip behind and was revered as the ancestor of the beggar gang. It has been passed down for thousands of years. The beggars respected and feared the whip. This legend shows the need of the low-status beggar gang to seek authority for strict law and order.
In contemporary society, professional beggars still exist, and their organizational forms and activity characteristics still retain many historical characteristics. Contemporary writers Liu Hantai's "Beggars in China" and Jia Rusheng's "The Wanderings of a Beggar Gang" vividly describe the life of beggars in contemporary China.
Shaolin School
The first martial arts sect, it is regarded as the leader of Chinese martial arts both in history and in martial arts novels. Shaolin Temple monks have a long history of practicing martial arts. As early as the early days of Shaolin temple construction during the Northern Wei Dynasty, armed monks were deployed to protect temple property. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos and the heroes were fighting. Wang Shichong, who was separatist in Luoyang, and Li Shimin, who was occupying Guanzhong, were fighting in the Songshan area. Shaolin Temple had an insight into the current situation and decided to side with Li Shimin. The monks led the crowd to reject the false masters and did a great favor to the British master. After the Li family was firmly established, Shaolin Temple was "repeatedly favored" and was even allowed to establish armed monk soldiers. Since then, Shaolin Temple has formed a tradition of paying equal attention to educating Buddhist scriptures and practicing martial arts.
By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Shaolin Temple's stick technique had become its own school. The monks participated in the battle against Japanese pirates along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and became "the most brave" among the soldiers recruited from all walks of life, so they became famous. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, some old men from the previous dynasty hid in the Shaolin Temple and "devoted themselves to the practice of martial arts" in order to "destroy Hu and promote Han". Legend has it that when Gu Yanwu was defeated in the fight against the Qing Dynasty, he once passed by the Shaolin Temple and wrote a five-character poem to recall the merits of the Shaolin monks in the late Sui Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty's anti-Japanese war. It is also said that Zhu Dechou, a clan member of the Ming Dynasty, entered the Shaolin Temple and became a monk. Later, he became the abbot of the Shaolin Temple and was named "Master Tongchan". He once presided over the formulation of the "Ten Commandments of Shaolin Temple". The first commandment is "Those who study Shaolin martial arts must aspire to restore China and practice diligently in every court without slacking off." Perhaps for this reason, Shaolin martial arts became more popular in Shunzhi and Kangxi. In the past few decades, there has been a saying that "the world's martial arts lies in Shaolin". At that time, the martial arts masters Lu Siniang, Bai Taiguan, Ma Monk, and Gan Fengchi all claimed to be the true successors of Shaolin. Some anti-Qing groups also capitalized on the reputation of the Shaolin Temple. "Hongmen Questions and Answers" writes: "Where did you learn martial arts? Learned in Shaolin Temple. Which boxing is first, Hong Boxing is first. What is the proof, there is boxing as proof: Feng Yong Hong Boxing is heard all over the world, and it originated in Shaolin Temple The monk, who has the surname Hong for the whole world, supports the Ming Dynasty to determine the world." From this, it can be seen that the praise of Shaolin Temple in martial arts novels is by no means unreasonable.
The Shaolin Temple is deeply involved in martial arts entanglements, which is also related to its loose management. As early as the Ming Dynasty, "the monks in Zhongzhou did not accept the ultimatum. Today they shave their hair to become monks, and tomorrow they grow their hair to serve the people, and they do whatever they want." After the rise of the White Lotus Sect, many lay disciples of the Shaolin Temple enthusiastically joined, and when frustrated, they returned to the temple to take refuge. Some of the strong men in society who "have the most powerful weapons and powerful arrows" "also cut off their hair and transformed into bhikkhus." Some martial arts masters among the Shaolin monks often take advantage of the opportunity to travel around the world and compete in martial arts. The two-way exchanges between Shaolin Temple and martial arts practitioners not only enriched Shaolin martial arts, but also spread Shaolin’s reputation.
Bule Gang
A martial arts sect that specializes in making people unhappy. This gang lives far away in Bule Island in the South China Sea. It was formerly known as the Jinwumen founded by Zuijinwuyunzhongyu. At that time, Yun Zhongyu was drunk in the desert, and he was inspired by the sky and realized the nine unique moves of the universe. This is the drunken golden crow move, which has rarely been matched by anyone in more than a hundred years. Later, many black men occupied Youle Island and became a famous and perverted Bule Gang in the world. After Yun Zhongyu, his disciple Bai He Gao Li liked to wear long white clothes. He was tall and thin, and had excellent light skills. He dominated Kailin for decades with a set of drunken golden crow moves and the lost goose wing skill of the Xiantian Wuji Sect. No one could compete with him. Fight. Feng Laiyi was known as the Wonderful Fairy. She had a profound literary background, was proficient in poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is said that before she confronts others, she often likes to test her writing skills. This person is good at the art of facial expression. He is still more elegant than a young woman when he is over seventy years old. His martial arts skills and high standing are indistinguishable. Gong Yida had long been trained in the Qi Wave Sword Technique from Yun Zhongyu. After practicing the sword technique but not getting the essence, he cut off one of his arms for his master. After that, he worked hard and mastered the samadhi of swordsmanship, and his sword had the power of thunder. It's just that the killing intent of his swordsmanship is too high, and he especially likes to break someone's arm with his first sword. Bule Island is tightly defended and surrounded by strange formations. For more than a hundred years, almost no one who landed on the island to seek revenge survived. The BuLe Gang is causing harm to the world, no one can stop it, and the government can do nothing. Help people not to contribute to the property, so that they can use "unpleasant donations". Those who were approached were all wealthy people, and the amounts written on the golden donation slips were always in the millions. Those who refuse to donate money will have their arms cut off first, and those who dare to refuse will have their lives taken away. Later, due to the internal collapse of the Bu Le Gang, Hai Wuyan, Pan Youdi, Zhu Cui and others took the opportunity to eliminate them. (See Xiao Yi's "Worry-Free Princess")
Taihu Gang
A secret organization formed by the survivors of the Ming Dynasty to unite with lofty ideals to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Its influence spread throughout the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Due to the failure of several conspiracies, a generation of elites were transferred. In addition, the Qing government adopted a tolerant policy. By the time it was passed to the master of Aorushan Lake, the Taihu Gang had evolved into an ordinary Jianghu gang and gave up its original intention to fight against the Qing Dynasty. However, this gang does not deal with the officialdom and is unique in both black and white. The chief hall leader Ding Sheng helped preside over the Donghai Escort Bureau and played an important role in defeating the "Jiangnan Branch". (See Dongfang Jade's "The First Sword of the East")

People in the Five Palaces each have their own magical powers, but they all regard the White Water Palace as their main brain. White Water Palace dominates with its unique skill - a highly corrosive magic water. Everything will rot when it comes into contact with the magic water. Even if it is poured into the soil, a big hole will be made in the land. The master of the White Water Palace is the White Water Empress, but she is somewhat kind-hearted. She designs to teach the young hero Fang Baoyu Kung Fu, and helps him but is powerful against the enemy. (See Gu Long's "One Sword Shocks China")
Five Mountains Sword Sect
Taishan Sect, Hengshan Sect, Huashan Sect, Songshan Sect, and Hengshan Sect form the Five Sacred Swordsmen with the same spirit. The faction became famous in the world. When the ten elders of the Demon Sect attacked Huashan in the early years, all the swordsmanship skills of the five sects were destroyed. The masters suffered heavy casualties, and many swordsmanship skills were lost. The five factions became angry and devised a poisonous plan to lure the ten elders into a cave in the mountain to kill them, so that they could continue to dominate the martial arts world with some second-rate swordsmanship.
The Wuyue Sword Sect, despite being harmonious, often engages in scandalous acts of fighting for power and gain. Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan sect, and Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan sect, both wanted to dominate the Five Mountains. To this end, they used despicable means such as framing, bribery, and assassination. There is also unrest within each faction. The Huashan sect has the two sects of Sword and Qi, Huohe, and the Taishan sect has Yu Jizi and others who are trying to steal everything. After the Wuyue Sword Sect merged into the Wuyue Sect in a disgraceful manner, Yue Buqun, who had secretly taken over as the head of the Wuyue Sect, repeated his old tricks and deceived the masters of the Five Sacred Mountains into a cave in the belly of Mount Huashan. Zuo Lengchan suddenly broke in and killed each other. perish together. In the end, only the Hengshan faction under Linghu Chong was still intact, but the Wuyue Sword never recovered. The decline of the five factions was not due to the invasion of foreign enemies, but purely the result of intensified internal conflicts leading to internal strife, and internal intrigues often appeared as an excuse to prevent foreign enemies. Among the five factions, innovation is suppressed, capable people are squeezed out, selfishness is disguised as loyalty, and tyranny is unimpeded. Such a social structure of survival of the fittest is bound to die out.
Having said that, the Wuyue Sword Sect is a chivalrous way after all, and has many indomitable heroes, such as Linghu Chong, a disciple of the Huashan Sect who sacrificed his life to save Yilin, Liu Zhengfeng, a master of the Hengshan Sect who would rather die than betray his friends, and the Hengshan Sect who is warm-hearted in the ancient way. Master Dingxian and Dingyi. They are the backbone of the five sects, but the sad thing is that in such a decadent social structure, not only are they unable to turn the tide, but they often fall into tragic fates (see Jin Yong's "Swordsman")

(See Xiao Yi's "Dragon, Earth and Tiger")
The Soul Gang
The underworld gang.
In order to fulfill her father's wish, Cui Yuhuan, the daughter of the Nine Ghosts and Evil Women in Miaojiang, secretly formed a seduction gang. She used the giant divine palm technique as bait to recruit martial arts masters to join her gang and help her kill fellow martial arts masters. Before the operation, the gangsters took pills to make their voices as sharp as ghosts, wore bronze masks, and wore black clothes with white trim. After killing, they used swords to mark deep and large "crosses" on the backs of the victims. Gang members are not allowed to reveal their identities to each other or to outsiders, otherwise they will die. Before the gang took action, the soul seducing order was a bronze plate about half a foot long and an inch wide, with countless lifelike and ferocious ghost faces of different sizes cast on the front and back. After Cui Yuhuan, the leader of the gang, mastered the unparalleled magical skills of the Giant Spirit God, the gang turned from secret to open and became powerful, with martial arts figures from all over the world joining his command. But as Cui Yuhuan was killed by Jin Angxiao, the gang gradually declined. (See "The Phantom of the Giant Palm" by Chen Qingyun)
The Ancient Tomb Sect
It is named after living in ancient tombs. At that time, Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect, raised a righteous army to resist the Jin soldiers and built a stone tomb to store military supplies and many organs. After the failure of Yi Xing, Wang Chongyang was angry and lived in seclusion in the ancient tomb, calling himself a "living dead man", which means that although he is alive, he is still dead and has no relationship with the Jin people. The heroine Lin Chaoying fell in love with him deeply and lamented that his great skills were buried in the tomb. But Wang Deyang's hatred for the country is unforgettable. As the saying goes, if the Hun mother is not destroyed, what is the purpose of the family? Pretending to be dumbfounded by Lin Chaoying's deep affection, Lin Chaoying only thought that Wang Chongyang looked down on her, so she finally competed with him in Zhongnan Mountain and won the stone tomb bet with her wits. From then on he lived in the tomb and never came back.
Lin Chaoying resented Wang Chongyang, so she tried her best to develop the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra" that restrained the Quanzhen sect's martial arts. Lin Chaoying accepted all female disciples and asked them to swear that they would never leave the ancient tomb for the rest of their lives, unless a man was willing to sacrifice his life for them, and the oath would not be broken. Therefore, although the people in this tomb were strong in martial arts, they did not have a sect name. Later, because they lived in the ancient tomb, people in Jianghu called it the "Ancient Tomb Sect"
The Ancient Tomb Sect has been passed down from virgins for generations. There was no male disciple until Yang Guo. This sect has outstanding light skills, agile and exquisite swordsmanship and boxing skills, and the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra" is the nemesis of the Quanzhen sect. (See Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes")

Longhumen made important contributions to the tranquility of the martial arts world. (See Wo Longsheng's "Ghost Valley")
Donghaimen
A sect that evolved from the Donghai Escort Bureau, the first escort agency in the south of the Yangtze River. People in the escort agency heard that Canghai was known as the three masters of sword, palm and escort. He had been famous in the world for a long time and had disciples all over the country, so everyone simply called him a disciple of Donghai. After Wen Canghai's grandson Wen Tiansheng was killed, the Donghaimen declined for a time. Chu Yuxiang, Wentiansheng's third disciple, went to the Ming Master to study and became successful, and the Donghaimen regained its prestige. (See Dongfang Jade's "The First Sword of the East")
The Changle Gang
A large gang in the world, with its headquarters in Zhenjiang. Although this gang does not commit all kinds of evil, they do a lot of murders and robberies by force. In particular, they do not set any lewd rules, which is even more despised in the martial arts world. In addition to the gang leader, the Changle Gang is divided into three inner gangs and five outer gangs, with "Doctor Bei" Bei Haishi being the most powerful in martial arts. Bei Haishi wanted to be the leader of the gang, but he didn't dare to accept the order of rewarding good and punishing evil, so he found Shi Zhongyu to be the puppet gang leader. Unexpectedly, this would lead to many stories (see Jin Yong's "Xia Ke Xing")
Life and Death Judgment
Also known as the God of Retribution, it is a terrorist group that specializes in revenge for others. Whenever they see a major case happening in Jianghu, they must pursue it closely to avenge the unjust death. Afterwards, sticks of ink pens were left behind. These ink pens were all stained with people instead of red vermilion, symbolizing the closure of the case. As for the gods of retribution, no one in the world can figure out their origins. (See Yun Zhongyue's "The Ancient Sword Powers the Dragon")
Baimamen
The Jianghu gang originally originated from Mount Tai in Dongyue, and was later divided into east and west branches. The Eastern sect merged into Shaolin and became a Zen sect, while the Western sect became the later Baima Sect, also known as Baima Xizong. During Guo Baiyun's tenure as the leader, Baimamen helped the poor and became famous in the world. After Guo Baiyun's death, the White Horse Sect declined for a time in the hands of his disciples Guo Daye and Sikong Yuan, and almost fell into the hands of Tie Haitang, the Twelve Orders in the Universe. It wasn't until Kou Yingjie returned from his success and fought against Tie Haitang and his ilk that the White Horse Gate could be revitalized.
