Loại vũ khí thứ hai, hình thức là Khổng Tước linh, song phải chăng là lòng tin?
Ám khí trong thiên hạ có cả thảy ba trăm sáu mươi loại, nhưng thành công nhất, đáng sợ nhất, chắc chắn chỉ có thể là Khổng Tước linh.
Tương truyền, Khổng Tước linh mỗi khi bắn ra đều đẹp lộng lẫy như thể chim công xoè cánh, huy hoàng chói lọi, để rồi khi nạn nhân của nó vẫn còn đang chấn động trước vẻ đẹp lộng lẫy ấy, hồn đã lìa khỏi xác lúc nào chẳng hay!
Một món ám khí được cả võ lâm coi như thần thánh, vậy mà lại bị chính chủ nhân của nó xem thường! Chính vì coi thường Khổng Tước linh, Thiếu trang chủ của Khổng Tước sơn trang Thu Phong Ngô đã thay tên đổi họ, gia nhập Thanh Long hội làm sát thủ, để rồi nhận ra mình đã lầm. Nhận ra rằng mình đã không hiểu giá trị thực sự của Khổng Tước linh. Đồng thời, cũng nhận ra rằng, có thứ còn mạnh hơn cả Khổng Tước linh…

Xiong Yaohua (Chinese: 熊耀華) (7 June 1938 – 21 September 1985), better known by his pen name Gu Long, was a Chinese novelist, screenwriter, film producer and director. Xiong is best known for writing wuxia novels and serials, which include Juedai Shuangjiao, Xiaoli Feidao Series, Chu Liuxiang Series, Lu Xiaofeng Series and Xiao Shiyilang. Some of these works have been adapted into films and television series for numerous times. In the 1980s Xiong started his own film studio, Bao Sian, to focus on adaptations of his works. He graduated from Cheng Kung Senior High School in Taipei and from the Foreign Language Department of Tamkang University.

Xiong was born on 7 June 1938 in Hong Kong but his registered identity claimed that he was born in 1941. His ancestral home was in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, and he lived in Hankou in his childhood. He moved to Taipei, Taiwan in 1952 with his parents, who divorced in 1956. With help from his friends and using the money he earned from part-time work to fund his education, Xiong graduated from the Foreign Language Department of Tamkang University. He found a job in the United States Army Advisory in Taipei later.

In 1960, Xiong published his first wuxia novel, Cangqiong Shenjian (蒼穹神劍), under the pen name "Gu Long". From 1960 to 1961, Xiong published eight novels but did not achieve the results he desired. He moved to Ruifang Town (瑞芳鎮) and lived there for three years, after which he changed his perspective and adopted a new writing style. Between 1967 and the late 1970s, Xiong rose to prominence in the genre of modern wuxia fiction for his works. As the sole representative of excellence in the wuxia genre from Taiwan for an entire decade, Xiong was named along with Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng as the "Three Legs of the Tripod of Wuxia".

While he was still in university, Xiong lived with a dance hostess, Zheng Yuexia (鄭月霞), and had a son, Zheng Xiaolong (鄭小龍), with her. However, later, he started a relationship with another dance hostess, Ye Xue (葉雪), who also bore him a son, Ye Yikuan (葉怡寬). Shortly after that, Xiong met a senior middle school graduate, Mei Baozhu (梅寶珠), who became his first legal spouse and bore him his third son, Xiong Zhengda (熊正達). Xiong's extramarital affairs with other women caused him to break up with Mei later.

In the later part of his life, Xiong suffered from depression and the quality of his works declined rapidly. He had to employ ghostwriters to co-write many of his later works because of his ailing health. He died on 21 September 1985 at the age of 48 due to illness wrought by alcoholism, namely cirrhosis and esophageal hemorrhage, at around 6pm. Xiong's friends brought him 48 bottles of XO at his funeral.


Xiong was said to be influenced not only by wuxia fiction, but also by the works of Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, John Steinbeck and Friedrich Nietzsche. His novels are usually made up of short sentences and paragraphs, and mostly dialogues between characters like a play script.

In contrast with Xiong, other writers such as Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng take an alternative route in writing wuxia fiction, incorporating Chinese history, culture and philosophical ideas in their works. Xiong initially intended to follow them but changed his decision after exposure to western works such as the James Bond series and The Godfather novels. The influence of these works, which relied on the idiosyncrasies of human life, razor-sharp wit, poetic philosophies, mysterious plots and spine-tingling thrills to achieve success, enabled Xiong to come up with a unique way of writing.

Khổng tước linh là bộ tiểu thuyết nằm trong bộ thất chủng vũ khí của nhà văn Cổ Long, nói về vũ khí có tên là Khổng Tước Linh. Khổng Tước Linh tuy nói về vũ khí là bá chủ về ám khí nhưng không có vũ khí nào. Vì cái mà Cổ Long muốn nói chính là lòng tin – lòng tin tưởng của Thu Phong Ngô dành cho Cao Lập và sự tư tin mà Cao Lập đã đánh mất.

Vẫn kiểu viết một câu xuống hàng một lần hơi gây khó chịu, chưa kể nhân vật mới vào truyện đã thi nhau xuất hiện làm tôi rối bùng não, nhưng đến tập 2 này thì có thể gọi là quen rồi. Câu chuyện tập này cũng hay hơn tập 1.
