Zhou Botong - The Return of The Condor Heroes

The Return of The Condor Heroes

Zhou makes some brief appearances in the sequel. He secretly accepted Yelü Qi as his apprentice and imparted some of his skills to the latter. He also teaches Xiaolongnü the 'Technique of Ambidexterity' when both of them are trapped in a cave by Jinlun Guoshi. In return, Xiaolongnü teaches him how to use the jade bees and helps to cure him after he is poisoned by Jinlun's ice spiders.

Zhou then lives alone for a few years in the Hundred Blossoms Valley, where he spends his time keeping bees as his pets and practising how to control and direct them with the skill he learnt from Xiaolongnü. He meets Yinggu and Duan Zhixing (now known as Reverend Yideng) again with Yang Guo's help. He forgives Qiu Qianren for his misdeeds and Qiu dies in peace. Zhou also participates briefly in the defence of Xiangyang from Mongol invaders.
