Mount Hua Sect
See also: Mount Hua Sect- Linghu Chong (traditional Chinese: 令狐沖; simplified Chinese: 令狐冲; Mandarin Pinyin: Lìnghú Chōng; Jyutping: Ling6-wu4 Cung1) is the scruffy, happy-go-lucky protagonist of the novel. An orphan, he was raised as Yue Buqun's eldest student. He learns the 'Nine Swords of Dugu' from Feng Qingyang and becomes a formidable swordsman. His sudden and tremendous improvement in swordplay causes his teacher to suspect him of having stolen the Bixie Swordplay Manual and mastered the skill. Even after his expulsion from Mount Hua, he remains loyal and respectful towards his teacher. Although his kind nature and heroic attributes make him a likeable person, they also negatively influence him by increasing his affiliations with jianghu lowlifes, resulting in him being misunderstood by his fellows and other orthodox sects. He retires from the jianghu eventually to lead a peaceful life with his lover Ren Yingying.

Famous quotes containing the words mount and/or sect:
“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Almost every sect of Christianity is a perversion of its essence, to accommodate it to the prejudices of the world.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
