This section requires expansion. |
Linghu is an orphan and was taken into Yue Buqun's care as a child. Yue accepted him as a student and Linghu became a member of the Mount Hua Sect as Yue's most senior disciple. He develops a crush on his teacher's daughter Yue Lingshan. However Yue Lingshan becomes attracted to the new member Lin Pingzhi and causes Linghu to fall out of love. Linghu eventually meets Ren Yingying, the daughter of Ren Woxing from the Sun Moon Holy Cult. After many struggles, he finally marries Ren Yingying and they go into seclusion from the martial artists' community.
Linghu is a scruffy, happy-go-lucky ruffian-like swordsman and an alcohol addict. He enjoys creating new swordplay styles while sparring with his fellow apprentices. Once, he meets Feng Qingyang, an reclusive elder from Mount Hua, and learns the "Nine Swords of Dugu" from Feng.
[edit] Martial arts and skills
- Mount Hua Sect skills:
- Mount Hua Swordplay (華山劍法)
- Grand Mountain Three Green Peaks Swordplay (太岳三青峰劍法)
- Chongling Swordplay (沖靈劍法) is a swordplay movement invented by Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan. Its names comes from "Chong" in "Linghu Chong" and "Ling" in "Yue Lingshan".
- Others:
- The counter moves to the swordplays of the Five Mountain Sword Sects (破五嶽劍法) are discovered by Linghu on the walls of the Repentance Cliff on Mount Hua. The scriptures were carved by members of the Sun Moon Holy Cult several years ago during a battle with the Five Mountain Sword Sects Alliance. Linghu masters the techniques and learns to counter the skills of the five sects.
- The Nine Swords of Dugu (獨孤九劍) are taught to Linghu by Feng Qingyang.
- The Star Sucking Great Skill (吸星大法) is Ren Woxing's infamous skill. It allows the practitioner to absorb an opponent's inner energy. It is considered unorthodox by many pugilists because of its thieving nature. Linghu learns the skill from Ren and uses it to build a strong inner energy foundation.
- The Yijin Jing (易筋經) is a manual on inner energy cultivation techniques. The Shaolin Sect's abbot Fangzheng allowed Linghu to read the manual and learn its skills to heal himself of his internal injuries.
