Life

A beautiful and supremely intelligent lady, Feng Heng , was born with an excellent memory. She married Huang Yaoshi and subsequently met Zhou Botong. After reading the ''Jiu Yin Zhen Jing'' from Zhou Botong, she was able to memorise the whole manual. She tricked Zhou Botong that the manual is just a book of childish rites and to prove her point, she recited verbatim the first few sentences to convince Zhou Botong. Zhou Botong was convinced and destroyed the manual in a fit while she wrote the whole manual from memory for Huang Yaoshi.

After the ''Jiu Yin Zhen Jing'' was stolen by Huang Yaoshi's two disciples, Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng , she re-wrote the manual from memory again for Huang Yaoshi. As she was pregnant , the stress and effort to re-write the manual from memory added to the strain of her pregnancy. The added stress and effort killed her during her difficult child labour.
