In the past: Ximen is the surname of someone who had an affair with a main character's brother's wife and got killed.
In the present and future: Ximen is the surname of a cool sword martial artist,serial killer vigilante , who blows the blood off his sword after penetrating the target's neck.
That's the power of Gu Long's pen to change people's perception.

Interesting concept.
The family name XiMen 西门 with 梁国郡 as its origins (I think that's what it is called), and DongMen 东门 with 济阳郡 as its origins can both be found in the book 百家姓 - Book of 100 surnames.
It is thus save to comment that this surname 西门 was not created by Gu Long.
I must say the only non-wuxia XiMen character that I know of is XiMen Qing 西门庆 , from the book Water Margin 水浒传 and its "yellow" offshot, Plum in Golden Vase (a.k.a. Golden Lotus). This is exactly the same character mentioned by @machete
And yes, with Gu Long's XiMen ChuiXue, the family name XiMen is now a lot more respectable.
