New Wuxia Fiction Forum Group Project: A Comprehensive CONDOR HEROES TRILOGY Timeline

[Trien Chieu]

As I recall it, the reason that Central Divinity Wong Chung Yeung convened the Mt. Hua Sword Tournament in the first place was to determine what should be done about the 9 Yum Jen Ging. He already had possession of it, but he knew that it didn't really *belong* to him. He wanted to settle the matter of its ownership in a way that would be in accordance with wulin rules.

Why not make many many copies and give a copy to each great so they won't go after one another over the manuals.

Printing presses weren't invented yet. Copying the manuscripts or using manual prints would have been prohibitively time- and labor-consuming.

Moreover, the wulin cultural norm was to keep elite martial arts exclusive, not propagate them among the masses.

I've made some adjustments this week to the details and dates of various events.

I extended the period for the series of events from Yeung Gor's initial departure from the Ancient Tomb to the beginning of Little Dragon Girl's self-exile to two years; it didn't seem to make sense that all those events took place in the time frame of a single year.

A new addition in the third edition of the novels, apparently. Wong Chung Yeung and an anonymous Buddhist monk friend got into a drinking contest, and if Wong Chung Yeung lost, he would let the monk read the 9 Yum Jen Ging. WCY did indeed lose, and let the monk read the 9 Yum Jen Ging. The monk was intrigued, and wondered if similar results could be achieved by taking a different approach. He succeeded, and the product was the 9 Yeung Jen Ging.

Quite possibly. Anyone who can read the 9 Yum Jen Ging once and devise an effective yang-based counterpart to it must have some extraordinary talent.

Ken:
I just briefly went through your timeline.
It is a magnificent piece of writing.
Great knowledge.
Must have taken you a long time to put this timeline together.

The initial writing took only a few hours or so.

The updates and adjustments are an ongoing process as new information rolls in.
