  • Gongsun Zhi (traditional Chinese: 公孫止; simplified Chinese: 公孙止; Mandarin Pinyin: Gōngsūn Zhǐ; Jyutping: Gung1-syun1 Zi2) is the master of Passionless Valley (絕情谷). Although he appears extraordinary, noble and gentlemanly, he is in fact cold-hearted, ruthless and lecherous. He is skilled in martial arts and wields a pair of blades in combat. He attempts to force Xiaolongnü to marry him but fails and his true colours are revealed when his wife returns. He is blinded in one eye and forced to flee from the valley. He returns later to take revenge on his wife and plunges to his death together with her eventually.

An insolent and domineering woman, she gradually falls out of her husband's favour, and he breaks her limbs and casts her into an underground pit, and she was assumed to be dead. She masters a skill to overcome her disability while struggling to survive, allowing her to use her inner energy to suck distant objects into her mouth and fire them as projectiles towards enemies with extreme force and accuracy.

Famous quotes containing the words passionless and/or valley:

    The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.
    Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    In a valley late bees with whining gold
    Thread summer to the loose ends of sleep....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
