At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the elder of Kunwu Pavilion in Kunlun Mountain, Huangfu Beng, felt that the demons were destroying the dragon veins and led his disciples to fight with a thousand-year-old tree demon. He did not want the tree demon to absorb the demon pearl and increase its strength. In order to save the strength and turn the situation around, Huangfu Beng uses up all his magic power to start the Flying Stream Formation and sends his eldest disciple Xuntan and his female disciple Chu Ling'er back to Panshizhen three days ago, hoping to destroy the tree demon before it gets the Xuan Yin Pearl.
There are three stories in this film. Story one, the Tang Dynasty.

The peace of the people on one side of the river is guaranteed. The second story is about the Ming Dynasty.

The third story is about the Republic of China. Mr. Yang, a tycoon, prefers sons to daughters and spoils his young son, making his daughters jealous.
25 мая 1960 года три человека из группы китайских альпинистов покорили Эверест по северному склону.
