The original "Swordsman" by Jin Yong is mainly divided into three versions: Ming Pao serialized version, Sanlian version, and newly revised version (Guangzhou, Huacheng Publishing House). The contents of "Sanlian version" and "New Revised version" are not much different.

The most important change is the age of Linghu Chong and Lan Fenghuang. Compared with the Wubagang party as the reference node, in the "Three-Lian Edition", Linghu Chong said to Huang Boliu: "When I was six years old, I bet on dice and drank old wine. How did you forget it? Today is not a full twenty years of friendship?" It can be seen that he was 26 years old at that time. Lan Fenghuang did not write the exact age, but her appearance description was "that woman was about 27 or 28 years old."

In the "newly revised version", what Linghu Chong said to Huang Boliu was changed to: "When he was four years old..." It can be seen that he was 24 years old at that time. The description of Lan Fenghuang's appearance was changed to "that woman was about 23 or 24 years old." From this, it can be seen that Jin Yong made Linghu Chong 2 years younger in the new version, and Lan Fenghuang was 4 years younger. As for why this was changed, there was no official explanation.

Another obvious modification is the origin of Ren Woxing's "Star-Absorbing Great Method". The three-part version of Star-Absorbing Great Method mainly comes from the "Star-Absorbing Great Method". This is actually a BUG in this version, because the three-part version of "The Legend of the Dragon and Eight Parts" is actually a poisonous palm, which relies on poisoning to remove the opponent's internal strength. This BUG was corrected in the new version. Ren Woxing told Linghu Chong personally that his Star-Absorbing Great Method originated from Duan Yu's Beiming God's Frugal Chapter. In the original text, Ren Woxing finally said to Linghu Chong: "My 'Star-Absorbing Great Method' comes from the authenticity of the 'Bei Ming Divine Art', and it is not poisoning. You must be careful about the difference between the middle."

In addition to the above content, the new version has some minor revisions compared to the Sanlian version, but it has no major impact on the entire storyline. Whether it is the Sanlian version or the new version you have read, it has no impact on reading this fan work.

The world of the fan Ren Bing is set as the "new version" of Guangzhou Publishing House and Huacheng Publishing House authorized by Jin Yong in 1999. That is, Linghu Chong was 24 years old at the time of Wubagang, and Lan Fenghuang looked 23 or 24 years old. So when some people see the content of the Star-Absorbing [Great] method originated from the Beiming God's Frustration Chapter, don't think it was Lan Bing. I wrote it wrong.

In fact, Jin Yong has made very few changes to "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" in the new version, so why does Ribing still emphasize that this world is a new version?

The reason is that Jin Yong made some changes to the Legend of the Condor Heroes in the new version. In the new version, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Swordsman" were all set by Jin Yong in the same time and space world. Martial arts fan must have a halo for the protagonist, but this halo should be reasonable, not far-fetched, and not stupid. Ranbing spent a lot of effort on this aspect, striving to make the plot rational. As for the differences between the new version of the Legend of the Condor Heroes and the triple version, Ranbing will not elaborate on it here. Interested readers can take a look at it on Baidu. The content related to this work will be briefly explained in the main text.
