If we allow descendent, then it will basically end up with which sect/school/clan knowing who. I propose that we only stick with direct relations.
You do know that it is just fiction, dont you?
And u know any of Chen Kun or Wang Chongyang's relations?Originally Posted by AnhHung

i think what he means is direct relations, eg. Xie Xun--->Cheng KunOriginally Posted by sunnysnow
Look at the instructions:Originally Posted by Pacifian
Relationship doesnt necessarily have to be by blood. HQG and SHL are related in the sense that they're both leaders of the Beggar Clan.Originally Posted by Ken Cheng

Wang Chongyang-> Huang Yaoshi-> Guo Xiang-> Zhang Sanfeng-> Zhang Cuishan-> Xie Xun-> Chen Kun

Fine. But I presume relationships mean as in someone knows someone. Otherwise, I can be related to the sweeper monk or DGSD.Originally Posted by sunnysnow
Yes, thats what I mean. People that have actually met eachother. H7Q and SHL havent met eachother. They are connected through the generations of begger sect clan leaders. If there are like 3 generation between, then there are degrees of seperation between H7Q and SHL.Originally Posted by 0-0-0

I presume Shi Huolong knows Hong Qigong in a more intimate way than you do to sweeper monk?Originally Posted by Pacifian

how about connecting Ma Dayuan (Madam Ma's husband) to Hu Fei?
Gongsun Lu'e to Eight-Armed Swordsman Fang Dongbai
Huang Shang--Creator of 9 Yin, to Green Furred Lion King Shi Shugang
忽见柳荫下两个小孩子在哀哀痛哭,瞧模样正是武敦儒、武修文兄弟。郭芙大声叫道:「喂,你们在干甚麽?」武 修文回头见是郭芙,哭道:「我们在哭,你不见麽?」
Let me try:
Gongsun Lu'E -> Yang Guo -> Guo Xiang -> Zhang Sanfeng -> Zhang Wuji* -> Zhao Min -> Fang Dongbai.Originally Posted by PJ
* Zhang Wuji is optional.
Or a shorter one: Gongsun Lu'E -> Yang Guo -> Yelu Qi -> Shi Huolong** -> Fang Dongbai.
** In terms of direct relationships/contacts, Shi Huolong is only valid if both Yelu Qi and Fang Dongbai had somehow met Shi in the 90-odd years between Chapter 1 and 24 of HSDS.
However, in terms of Ken Cheng's earlier post, this connection should work by virtue of Yelu Qi and Shi Huolong being in the Beggars' Clan.
Ma Dayuan -> Xiao Feng -> A'Zhu -> A'Bi -> (Dr) Xue Muhua -> [#] -> Hu Fei.Originally Posted by PJ
For [#], I can only hope that there is somehow a relationship that would tie Xue Muhua as a physician to one or more physicians/patients/monks that would eventually lead to the Ruthless King of Medicines (Dushou Yaowang) who was Cheng Lingsu's teacher. Then, Cheng Lingsu can be linked directly to Hu Fei as his friend and sworn sister.
I can link these and any other characters in 3 degrees easily.Originally Posted by HuangYushi
Ma Dayuan > was created by Jin Yong > who also created Hu Fei
The link can be a lot shorter, Ma Dayuan, Xiao Feng were members of the Beggars' Clan. Hu Fei encountered a [范幫主] leader Fan of the (Han resurrecting) Beggars' Clan.Originally Posted by HuangYushi

And all we need of hell.

Can anyone link Wuyazi to Zhao Min (note you'll need more than 6)?
Wuyazi -> Duan Yu -> Yideng -> Guo Jing -> Zhou Zhirou -> Zhao Min
Wuyazi and Duan Yu both fell in love with the same statue, Duan Yu is Yideng's grandfather, Yideng was one of the 5 New Greats as well as Guo Jing (both fought JLGS), Guo Jing prepared the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber which ZZR took advantage of, and ZZR and Zhao Min were rivals for ZWJ.
Alternatively, replace Guo Jing with Wang Chongyang. WCY and Yideng traded martial arts and WCY and ZZR both read the 9 Yin Manual.
Thanks, Athena! I forgot all about leader Fan!Originally Posted by Athena
Nice. More challenges:
how about Ah Qing to Holy Dragon Sect Leader Hong Antong
Mei Fanggu to Priest Wucheng
Jinlun Guoshi/Golden Wheel Monk to Su Lu Ke (White Horse Neighing)
King of Green Bat Wei Yixiao to Ren Feiyan (Blade Dance of 2 Lovers)
Evil #4 Yun Zhonghe to Hu Guinan (Crimson Sabre)

Wei Yixiao -> Zhu Yuanzhang (Ming Taizu/Emperor Hongwu) -> [any number of emperors and eunuchs after him in the Imperial Palace until the appropriate point of time in the Qing Dynasty] -> Xiao Banhe (the eunuch Xiao Yi) -> Ren Feiyan.Originally Posted by PJ
Or simply in terms of dynastic connections:
Wei Yixiao -> Zhu Yuanzhang (Ming Taizu/Emperor Hongwu) -> Zheng He (Ming Dynasty eunuch) -> Xiao Banhe/Xiao Yi (who admired Zheng He) -> Ren Feiyan.
The way I thought of was way longer than yours.Originally Posted by K2Grey
