Zhou Botong

Zhou Botong

Zhou Botong (周伯通) is one of the most humorous characters in Legend of the Condor Hero and Return of the Condor Heroes. Although quite old, he remained very active and constantly sought fun and entertainment. He had no students from the Quanzhen Sect, preferring carefree wandering to studied contemplation. He had the utmost respect for his elder martial brother Wang Chongyang, and abided by most of the rules he laid down. He became the sworn brother of Guo Jing, teaching him his invented techniques of Vacant Fist (七十二路空明拳) and Technique of Ambidexterity (雙手互搏). Later Zhou Botong secretly accepted Yelu Qi as a student. Near the end of Return of the Condor Heroes, his favorite game was taking care of bees, a skill he learned from Xiaolongnu. He lived in secluded harmony with Yideng and Yinggu.
