Pingzong Xiaying Lu (萍蹤俠影錄), literally Chronicle of Wandering Heroes, also translated as The Wanderer Chronicles, is a wuxia novel by Liang Yusheng. It was first published as a serial between 1 January 1959 and 16 February 1960 in the Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Pao. The novel is the second part of the Pingzong series, following Huanjian Qiqing Lu and preceding Sanhua Nüxia.
Set in 15th-century China during the Ming dynasty, the story follows Yun Lei and Zhang Danfeng, descendants of rival families whose romance unfolds amidst political turmoil and moral conflict. Blending history, romance, and martial-arts adventure, the novel explores ideals of loyalty, personal virtue, and national duty.
Pingzong Xiaying Lu is regarded as one of Liang Yusheng's representative works and a milestone in modern wuxia fiction. It has inspired several film and television adaptations, most notably the 1984 Hong Kong television series Chronicles of the Shadow Swordsman.
