The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sword

The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sword
CHAPTER 1 (Thinking of an unforgettable man in the distance)



He heard that the music was mixed with the chirping of birds and it seemed like the birds were singing along. Guo Xiang thought, “According to mother there is a song called 'Empty Mountain and Bird Song', but this song has been lost for centuries, could this be the song?"


An extensive and outstanding tour throughout Spring, is the yearning for winter every year.


The season of pear blooms is near. 


White jade brocade was wrinkleless and smelled fragrant and mesmerizing.


Snow piled on the jade tree and jade petals.


The quiet night was deep.


The floating brightness was hidden through the clouds.


The cold cliffs are enough to melt the moon.


The dark silver fog illuminated the sky and earth. 


His simple, natural yet charming appearance fascinated me.


The greater is his desire and his spirit.


She was like a bloom that exceeded any other beautiful and fragrant flower.


His noble soul was clear and pure, his immortal abilities were extremely high.


He returned to the Jade palace and I could only see him from afar.


The author of this poem, Free from Mediocrity, was a renowned martial arts expert of the southern Song dynasty. The name of this expert was Qiu Chuji, also known as the Immortal Yang. He is one of the seven Quanzhen Teachers, and one of the most prominent students of the Quanzhen School. Qiu Chuji wrote this poem after he met Xiao Longnu for the first time. He was Qiu's neighbor for many years. Currently Qiu Chuji was dead, and Xiao Longnu was the wife of the famous Condor Hero Yang Guo. Other girls read this poem gently, in Henan province and on Mount Shaoshi. This young girl was about eighteen, nineteen years old and wearing a creamy yellow robe, she was riding a donkey and was climbing through a mountain. She thought, "Only someone like sister Long is a match for her." "He" was of course referring to Yang Guo.


After some time he softly recited, “Unity is happiness, separation is woe, Infinite Suffering for a loving love. Sweet heart, give me a word….


A cloud trail floated forward, In the middle of the snow-capped mountains, Where did my lonely shadow go?


This girl carried a short sword and looked dirty while traveling. She was a beautiful young girl who was supposed to be happy and unproblematic but somehow, she looked unhappy, melancholic.


Her name was Guo Xiang, the second daughter of the famous Great Hero Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Her nickname is Little Eastern Heretic. With his donkey and sword he travels a lot, his goal is to forget his worries but his journey only adds to his sadness.


Mount Shaoshi in Henan province is a series of large stone steps, these stairs were built under the orders of Emperor GaoZong of the Tang Dynasty. It looked very impressive as Guo Xiang continued up the mountain. Soon he could see the monastery.


He stared at the roof for a moment and thought, “Shaolin Monastery is said to be the origin of martial arts, but why are there no Shaolin experts among the Big Five? Is it because the Shaolin experts know that there is no match for other experts and are afraid to embarrass Shaolin and refuse to leave? Or is it because the monks have progressed beyond worldly matters and do not want to scramble for power and fame.


After a while he saw the huge stone tablets, half of which were gone and the character was unclear, Guo Xiang thought, “Why characters carved in stone can fade over time, as well, but the feelings engraved in my heart became more and more intense as time went on. "


The tablet was given by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. He praised the Shaolin monk for helping him suppress the rebellion. The tablet expresses the military appreciation of the Shaolin monks for helping Emperor Taizong defeat the rebel general Wang ShiChong, of which thirteen are the most famous monks. Only one monk became a general and the other twelve did not want to become officials and Emperor Taizong gave twelve purple kasaya. Guo Xiang thought, "During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Shaolin Monastery was already very famous for martial arts, and now after a few hundred years they must have become more formidable."


When Guo Xiang parted ways with Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu on Mount Hua three years ago. He lost all contact with them and missed them terribly. So he told his parents that he wanted to hang around a little but actually, he wanted to hear the news about Yang Guo. He did not want to actually meet them, he was very satisfied if he could hear something about them. However, they seemed to have disappeared entirely, Guo Xiang had traveled from north to south and from west to east. He had practically traveled through China but there was still no news of Yang Guo.


He remembered Yang Guo asking Reverend Wuse to bring him a gift on his sixteenth birthday. Wuse was Yang Guo's friend and instructed someone to give Guo Xiang a gift. Although he had never met her, he wanted to know if she had any news about Yang Guo.


He was pensive for some time until he heard some metallic sounds and the sound of chanting the Buddhist scriptures, “Through love, worries will arise. Through love fear will arise. If you can free yourself from love, all your worries and fears will be gone. "


When Guo Xiang heard this, he was completely blown away. And gently repeated those words. The sound of metal and singing became distant.


Guo Xiang said, "I have to ask him, how can I free myself from love and how my worries and fears will go away." He tied his mule to a tree and chased after the voice. Guo Xiang caught the monk and was surprised to see the monk carrying a large iron bucket and his hands, feet, and neck were chained, causing him to emit a metallic sound while walking. The bucket was filled with water and it showed that the monk should have extraordinary strength.


Guo Xiang spoke to the monk, "I have some questions, please stop for a moment."


The monk turned around and both Guo Xiang and the monk were shocked to see each other. The monk was Jueyuan. Three years ago Guo Xiang met him at Mount Hua. Guo Xiang also knew that this monk was truly rambling, but possessed an extremely powerful internal energy that was not inferior to the best martial arts experts of today. He spoke to him, “Oh, it's you Reverend Jueyuan. What the hell is going on with you?" Jueyuan smiled and nodded but did not speak. He turned and left again. Guo Xiang said, “This is me, Guo Xiang. Do you not recognize me anymore? ”


Jue Yuan turned his head and smiled and nodded but did not stop. Guo Xiang asked, “Who chained you up? Why are they torturing you? " Jue Yuan raised his left hand and shook his hand as a warning, meaning don't ask.


Guo Xiang would not let this matter stop until he resolved it. And wanted to run in front of Jueyuan but to no avail. Even though Jueyuan was carrying two large buckets of water, he was still very fast. Guo Xiang was amused and jumped up and wanted to pick up one of the buckets, but he missed an inch.


Guo Xiang said, "You have very impressive abilities, but I have to chase after you."


Jueyuan continued walking and the metallic sound sounded somewhat melodious. Guo Xiang had a hard time following him and he was really impressed, "My father and mother both praised this monk for his superior martial arts, at that time I was not entirely sure, he said, but now I know they're right."


After a while, Jueyuan walked to the back of a small house and emptied a bucket of water in an old well. Guo Xiang asked, “What are you doing? Why are you emptying the water in this well? " Jueyuan remained calm and shook his head. Guo Xiang thought he understood now and smiled, "You're learning some kind of powerful martial art, aren't you?" Jueyuan shook his head again. Guo Xiang felt a little angry now and said, "I just heard you sing, you're not stupid, why don't you answer me?" Jueyuan put his palms together and looked regretful and carried the bucket and left again.


Guo Xiang looked into the well and was unable to find anything strange about him and looked at Jueyuan's back and felt puzzled.


He chased for a while but soon he felt tired and rested on a rock. He admired the view and felt very fresh afterwards. Guo Xiang thought, “I want to know where the disciple of this monk is. The student will probably tell me what is going on here. "


He started to descend again and wanted to find Zhang Junbao, Jueyuan's disciple. He walked for a while and as soon as he heard the metallic sound again, Jue Yuan appeared again and Guo Xiang quickly hid and thought, "I'll spy on him and see what he does."


The metallic sound became clearer and he saw Jueyuan was reading a book. He quietly approached her and shouted, "What are you reading?"


Jueyuan was startled and shouted, "You scared me, it's just you." Guo Xiang smiled, "You no longer pretend to be stupid." Jueyuan looked a little scared and looked left and right and shook his hand.


Guo Xiang asked, "What's wrong?"


Before Jueyuan could reply, two gray-robed monks emerged from the forest. One is very tall, the other is short. The tall monk firmly said to Jueyuan, “Jueyuan, you broke the rules by talking to outsiders and even more so with a young girl. Come with us to see the elder of the Discipline Hall."


Jueyuan looked disappointed and nodded and started walking behind the two monks. Guo Xiang was angry and upset and firmly denounced, “What kind of rules forbid people from speaking? I know this Pastor and if I want to talk to him, it's none of your business. "


The tall monk looked at her arrogantly and said, “For over a thousand years, Shaolin Monastery has not allowed women to enter. I'm suggesting that Miss will leave before you get in trouble. "


Guo Xiang became even angrier and said, “So what about women? Are not human women? And why are you bothering Reverend Jueyuan? Why is he chained up and you forbid him to talk to anyone? "


The monk coldly replied, “This is our monastery rule, no one has the right to ask, not even the emperor. Miss, no need to bother. ”


Guo Xiang angrily said, “Secretor Jueyuan is an honest and kind person, you bully him because he is a good man. Where are the Reverend TianMing, Monk Wuse and Wuxiang?


The two monks were surprised. The Reverend TianMing is the abbot of Shaolin, Wuse is the oldest of the Luohan Hall and Wuxiang is the oldest in Damo Hall. The three of them were highly respected, all monks calling them 'the head of the old monastery, the elder of the Luohan Hall or the elder of the Damo Hall.'


No one dared to call their names, and today these two monks heard this young girl calling their names and making a fuss.


These two monks were disciples of the Discipline Hall elder, and received orders to watch over Jueyuan. But now that they saw Guo Xiang meddling, the tall monk shouted, "If you don't leave now, we won't be friendly."


Guo Xiang said, “Should I be afraid of you? Hurry up and free Jueyuan from his chains or I'll go to old monk TianMing."


The short monk became furious now and looked at Guo Xiang's sword. He said, “Leave your weapon and we will not take action against you. Go now!"


Guo Xiang pulled out his sword and held it in his hand and sneered, "Alright, I'll obey."


The short monk grew up in a Shaolin monastery and heard his seniors say that Shaolin is the origin of all martial arts and no matter how respected or skilled, Shaolin is, martial arts experts never brought weapons to the Shaolin monastery. Although this young girl did not actually reach the monastery but she was already at the Shaolin place. He thought this young girl was frightened and handed her his sword so he reached out to take the sword. However, when his fingers touched the sheath, he felt a painful tingling, like being struck by lightning. He felt a powerful force coming from the sword and pushed it backwards. He could not maintain his stance and fell. As he stood on the slope, he immediately rolled a few meters. With great difficulty, he could restrain himself from rolling again.


The tall monk was shocked and angry and shouted, “It's so hard! How dare you come to Shaolin to make a mess! ” He turned his body and advanced one step forward and his right hand pointed towards Guo Xiang. His left hand placed on the back of the fist caused two palms to hit. This is the twenty-eighth technique of "Dashing Shaolin" namely "Turning Over Split"


Guo Xiang held his sword and pressed his sword with the scabbard and everything onto the monks' shoulders. The monk holds a sword.


Jueyuan was very panicked and shouted, “Stop! No fighting! ”


The monk tried to pull his sword, he suddenly felt a shock in his palm and both arms felt stiff he shouted, “No!” Guo Xiang swept his left leg and kicked it down the slope. He was somewhat more injured than the other monks, his face bleeding.


Guo Xiang thought, "I came to Shaolin to seek information about brother Yang, but now I'm fighting for no apparent reason."


He saw Jueyuan looking sad, he pulled out his sword and cut the chain. Jueyuan shouted, "No, you can't!" for a few times. Guo Xiang cut three chains and said, “The two evil monks will be back to get reinforcements. We have to go now, where's your little student? " Jueyuan continued to shake his hand. Suddenly a voice came from behind saying, "Thank you for taking care of Miss Guo, I'm here."


Guo Xiang turned around and saw a sixteen, seventeen year old man standing there. He had thick eyebrows and large and very tall eyes. But it still looks so young. He met him three years ago at Mount Hua, he was Zhang Junbao. He is taller this time compared to three years ago but he is very similar. Guo Xiang was overjoyed and said, "The evil monks are oppressing your teacher, we have to leave now." Jueyuan laughed wryly and shook his head and suggested that Guo Xiang leave immediately now before trouble came.


Guo Xiang knew that there were countless Shaolin experts who were superior to him, but seeing this situation he could not let the matter go and he was worried that the Shaolin experts would stop them. So he pulled Jueyuan in one hand and the other Zhang Junbao and told them, "Quick, we'll discuss everything as we leave this place." But the two of them just stood still.


At this time seven, eight monks with wooden sticks came to the slope and shouted, “Who is that brave girl? How dare he come to Shaolin and behave cruelly! " Zhang Junbao shouted, "Please don't be rude, this ……"


Guo Xiang hurriedly said, "Don't say my name." He knew that he was creating a huge commotion today and maybe this might even escalate so he did not want to drag his parents into this. He added, “Let's go the other way! Don't mention my parents' names.


But seven, eight other monks came to them. Guo Xiang saw them surrounded and raised his graceful eyebrows and said to Jueyuan and Zhang, “You two are so chatty, you don't have a hero soul! Do you want to go now? ” Zhang Junbao said, "Teacher, Miss Guo only has good intentions ..."


At this point four monks were climbing the slope, although they did not carry weapons but judged their posture, they were experts.


Guo Xiang knew that using force would be futile so he just stood still and waited to see what would happen.


The first monk walked up and spoke to Guo Xiang, "The elder from the Luohan Hall ordered that the intruder put down his weapon and be taken to the YiWei pavilion for interrogation."


Guo Xiang scoffed, “The Shaolin monks have mastered the attitude of government officials. You all speak in a bureaucratic tone! I wonder if you are an official of the Song emperor or an official of the Mongolian emperor? ”


Today, the entire northern region of China is in the hands of the Mongolians, the Shaolin monastery is under the jurisdiction of Mongolia. However, the Mongols were busy deploying their troops so they did not have time to control the temples, monasteries. Everything in Shaolin remains the same.


The monk was embarrassed by Guo Xiang's words and his face turned red and he felt that giving orders to outsiders was inappropriate. He put his palms together and said, “May I ask what business you have here, Benefactor. Please put down your weapons and go to the YiWei pavilion where the tea will be served and we have some questions we want to ask. "


Guo Xiang heard his tone become a little more friendly and thought this would be a good opportunity to stop and said, “I don't care if you allow me in or not. It's not like Shaolin has any treasure and I don't want to take advantage of it. " He turned to Zhang Junbao and calmly asked, "Will it come or not?" Zhang Junbao shook his head and saw his teacher saying that the place was here. Guo Xiang loudly said, “Alright, I will not interfere. I go, ”and start walking down the slope. The first monk moved but two other monks blocked him. And said, "Put down your sword!" Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows and placed his hand on the handle. The first monk explained, “We don't want to keep your weapons, we will return them when you leave Mount Shaoshi. It's our rule, forgive us. "


Guo Xiang heard his tone courteously and thought, “If I don't leave my sword, there will definitely be a fight and alone I'm no match for these monks. But if I leave my sword, I will humiliate my parents, brother Yang, sister Long and my grandfather. "


He was still thinking, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of him and shouted, “You came here with a weapon, injuring two of our disciples. What does this mean? ” And he formed a claw and grabbed the sword of Guo Xiang. If this monk did not use force, Guo Xiang would definitely give up his sword after some consideration. She was nothing like her older sister, Guo Fu. Although he was frank, he was not rash. Seeing this loss, he would comply and discuss the matter with his parents and Huang YaoShi and return to get an explanation. But now that this monk was using violence, how could he see his sword being snatched away?


The monk's grip was strong and he held on to his scabbard. He wanted to disarm immediately. Because it is inappropriate for a monk to be attractive and encouraging with a beautiful young girl. Guo Xiang could not hold his sheath and pulled out his sword. The monk used his right hand to grab the scabbard but the two fingers on his left hand were severed.


The other monks were angry when they saw their martial arts brothers getting hurt and taking their wooden sticks, batons and attacking. Guo Xiang knew that he had no choice but to fight now and use the "Descending Flower Sword Science" to defend himself.


The Descending Flower Swordsmanship originated from Huang YaoShi's Divine Descending Flower Sword Palms. Although this swordsmanship was not as refined and as powerful as the "Jade Flute Sword Science", it was still a special technique from Peach Flower Island. The monks saw flashes of green light soaring, swords dancing, making it look like a flower descending. Within moments, two monks were injured. But other monks took their place and soon Guo Xiang was completely besieged. He would have been overwhelmed if not for the fact that the monks were kind and unwilling to risk his life. All their attitude is to cripple him and not to kill him, so they'll lecture him and escort him away from here. Also, all the monks saw that this young girl had learned a superior martial art and they thought that she must be the daughter of a famous martial arts expert or at least a disciple of a martial arts expert the skilled. So they didn't want to make enemies, so each position was somewhat restricted. Some monks went to tell the elders in Luohan Hall.


Amidst the heat of battle, a tall old monk came and observed the fight with a smile on his face. Two monks approached him and told him something.


Guo Xiang gasped for breath and his swordsmanship became disorganized and he shouted, “Where is martial arts from? ten monks surrounded one person, how to win? "


The old monk was the oldest in Luohan Hall, Reverend Wuse, when he heard this he said, "Return everything!"


All the monks jumped away. Reverend Wuse asked, “What is your name, Miss? And who are your father and teacher? What business do you have here in Shaolin? ”


Guo Xiang thought, “I can't tell him my name. And I can't express my reasons in front of a lot of people. If my parents and brother who knew the mess I was making would piss them off, the best thing to do is sneak away." He replied, “I can't tell you my name, I just came here to enjoy the view. I never expected that the Shaolin Monastery was even stricter than the imperial palace, for no reason your weapons would be confiscated. I wanted to ask, did I enter the monastery? When Master Damo taught Shaolin martial arts, he only wanted the monks to improve their condition and concentrate on their meditation through martial arts. But as Shaolin became more and more famous, and their martial arts continued to improve, Shaolin monks relied on martial arts to show off their superiority. You can have my sword, and if you don't kill me.."


Guo Xiang was famous for being clever and eloquent, this whole matter was actually his fault but with those words he left Reverend Wuse speechless. He thought, “I don't want anyone to know about this, and it seems Shaolin doesn't want the outside world to know about this incident either. A group of ten monks attacking a young girl would not make their reputation good."


He threw his sword on the ground and started walking away. Reverend Wuse walked up and used his sleeve to pick up the sword and said, "Miss, I will return your sword and escort you respectfully."


Guo Xiang smiled sweetly and said, “It looks like you are very reasonable. It's more like that. That is the style that a martial arts expert should have. "


Seemingly he won, Guo Xiang simply praised this old monk and reached out to take his sword back. When he wanted to retreat, he realized it didn't move an inch. He used force three times but in vain, and he said, "You deliberately displayed your martial arts." Suddenly his left hand curled up and gently wanted to touch the Wuse's two left cheek acupoints, namely 'TianDing and JuGu.' Wuse moved away and released his grip. Guo Xiang quickly took out his sword.


Wuse said, "Shaking the Hand of the Acupoint Point Orchid" is impressive. May I ask how you greet the ruler of Peach Flower Island? ”


Guo Xiang laughed, “Power of Peach Flower Island? I call him Old Eastern Heretic. "


Huang YaoShi was his maternal grandfather. He was a strange and eccentric man and he called his grandson the Little East Perverted and Guo Xiang called him the Old East Perverted. Huang YaoShi was not angry when she heard it and was even happy when she heard it.


Wuse was a robber in his early years. Although he had studied Zen for many years and had deep Buddhist knowledge, he remained very straightforward, otherwise he could not befriend Yang Guo. Seeing this little girl unwilling to tell him, he wanted to test her and find out. He smiled and said, "Young Miss, if you can withstand my ten attitudes, I can guess your school."


Guo Xiang asked, "What if you can't?"


Wuse laughed and said, "If you can withstand my ten stances, I should listen to you."


Guo Xiang pointed at Jueyuan and said, “I met Pastor Jueyuan a few years ago and I want to plead on his behalf. If I can withstand your ten stances, you must promise not to give him any more trouble."


Wuse was surprised, he knew that Jueyuan was very rambling and lived in the Library as well as supervising the scriptures and had never met an outsider. How did he meet this young girl? Wuse said, “We never gave him any problems. He ignored his punishment, it didn't give him any trouble."


Guo Xiang pouted and sneered, "It seems like you just want to retract your words."


Wuse clapped his hands and said, "Alright, if I lose, I will bring three buckets of water to Jueyuan. Watch out, here I come. "


Guo Xiang was thinking as he spoke to her, This old monk “ seems to be a true expert. If he starts attacking first, I should try my best to defend myself and will reveal my parents martial arts. The best thing I have to do is I attack first and try to get the lead. ” When he heard him say "Review, here I come." he did not give him time to strike first and raised his sword and aimed at his chest. This is the technique of "Descending Flower Swordsmanship" namely "Thousands and Myriads of Purple and Red."


The tip of the sword continued to move, not pointing towards the opponent that the sword was aiming at.


Guo Xiang shouted, "Second position!" the short sword turned around and came from the bottom up, this was called the "Celestial Gentry Topping Apart" which was a Quanzhen technique.


Wuse said, "Good, Quanzhen's sword technique."


Guo Xiang said, "Not necessarily." His short sword pierced into the air and saw Wuse use the attack as a defense and use his finger to grab his wrist. He was a bit scared, "This old monk is so tough, he can attack with his bare hands with such a dangerous technique."


Looking at his fingers getting closer, his sword dazzled several times and used a technique from the "Dog-Hitting Stick", which was "Dog Means Blocking the Way." And this attitude belongs to Formula Sealing.


Guo Xiang was close friends with the late Beggar Association leader Lu YouJiao, they occasionally drank wine and played mora together. Sometimes Lu demonstrated his martial arts, although the "Dog-Hitting Stick" was only allowed to be used and learned by the leader of the Beggar Association, Guo Xiang was able to learn some ways of standing from Lu. Moreover, his mother Huang Rong and his brother-in-law were the leaders of the Beggar Association. So he has seen this style often and can fool people into believing that he knows this style even though he does not know its true secret.


Wuse's fingers had just reached his wrist but he saw a bright light shining and the blade headed towards his fingers in a very beautiful manner. Almost cut off his five fingers, but fortunately his martial arts were high and he could dodge the attack by pacing back and forth two steps. But his left arm was split. Wuse looked frightened and cold sweat poured out.


Guo Xiang was amused and smiled, "What kind of sword style is this?" Actually this was not a sword technique, he simply used the position of the "Dog-Hitting Wand" and used it as the position of the sword. Since this style was incredible, even Guo Xiang was unable to fully learn it, it was still able to scare this expert of Shaolin martial arts.


Guo Xiang thought, “If I learn some more ways from “My Dog Beater Stick” could easily beat this old monk.


He did not give Wuse time to catch his breath and advance forward. His sword slightly raised and he floated towards him. His posture looked like a floating elf, his blade pointing towards Wuse's feet. This is called the "Little Garden for Chrysanthemums" possessed by the Sword Science of the Jade Maiden. Guo Xiang learned this technique from Xiao Longnu.


Jade Sword Science was created by Lin ChaoYing, this style was not only nimble and fierce but also refined, graceful and beautiful. All the monks had never seen anything beautiful, they were all shocked and delighted. Because the Shaolin sword style is firm and ferocious, for example, the Sword Science of Luohan and Damo. This Jade Maiden swordsmanship is virtually unknown throughout the world of martial arts, its core is the opposite of Shaolin style but when it comes to attitude excellence, it is not above Shaolin Sword Science.


But this technique was truly beautiful and heavenly.


Even in Buddhist scriptures it is mentioned, “When its appearance is graceful and charming, when its demeanor is solemn, gentle and graceful. And appropriate and satisfactory behavior. The observer will not be bored. "


Reverend Wuse was impressed with his extraordinary demeanor and hoped to see it more clearly so he stayed away and waited until Guo Xiang attacked again.


Guo Xiang's techniques now changed direction several times from east to west and from west to east. Zhang Junbao was fascinated by it and was surprised to recognize this attitude as "Expandate in All Directions." three years ago Yang Guo taught Zhang Junbao this technique and Guo Xiang was there to see it and was now using it. This was originally a palm technique, now that he used it as sword horses, the strength of this stance was not that strong anymore but it was a very strange sword move and Wuse was a bit frightened by it.


They reached fifth now, and Wuse had no idea who he was. In his youth, he explored the world and gained a lot of martial arts experience and insight. And now he is the oldest in Luohan Hall for over ten years and has examined all the different school styles and compared to Shaolin martial arts. So he had always been very confident to recognize martial arts from any expert in some position.


His boundary with Guo Xiang of ten positions was already a huge margin. He never expected that Guo Xiang's parents, relatives, friends were the best martial arts experts and he learned several positions from each and every one of them, he said, cause Wuse to be confused. Wuse was now thinking, “The only way for me now is to attack with force, forcefully using his own martial arts to defend himself. Otherwise, I can't even guess his school after a hundred positions."


He turned around and used a "Double Piercing Hand" and two fists aimed at Guo Xiang. He saw that his attack was extremely ferocious and did not dare to block it and twist his body and slide away from the attack. He remembered when Ying Gu fought against Yang Guo, Ying Gu used this style.


Wuse praised, "Good move! Try another attitude. "


His left hand curled up like a flower, bending his left elbow in front of his chest and this is another Shaolin fist style.


This attitude completely sealed Guo Xiang. He turned his sword and used the sword as his finger and showed "Jari Yi Yang". He learned this technique from his martial arts brother, Wu XiuWen. And he's aiming for three Wuse acupoints on his wrist. Although he had only learned the basics of "Jari Yi Yang", the technique of sealing three acupoints at once was one of the key points of "Jari Yi Yang".


The finger of Yi Yang Reverend YiDeng was famous all over the world. Wuse noticed it and quickly changed his stance.


However if Wuse did not change the technique, and let Guo Xiang touch all three of his acupoints, he would know that his "Jari Yi Yang" was far from perfect.


But in a fight he was unwilling to risk his reputation and name for it. Guo Xiang smiled sweetly and said, "You recognized a powerful technique when you saw it."


Wuse snorted and used a position called "Single Phoenix Glaring At the Sun". With this position Wuse used both of his hands to immobilize Guo Xiang's sword.


He knew that he would not really hurt her but was still terrified and used Kong Ming's Boxing Zhou Botong to fight against him. Kong Ming's fist was quite new to the world of martial arts so Wuse did not recognize it and switched to another position of "Siding the Flower of Seven Stars". One of his palms above the other went down and pressed Guo Xiang down. If he did not use his internal energy to block it, his hand would break.


Guo Xiang thought, "Do you really want to break my hand?" And used the Iron Palm technique to block this attack. He learned this attitude from Wu XiuWen's wife, WanYan Ping. This move was created by the famous Qiu QianRen and this palm technique was known as the number one due to its violence and ferocity.


Wuse was surprised to see a young girl using the Iron Palm technique and quickly withdrew her attack. First of all, he did not want to hurt her, secondly, he was quite afraid of the Iron Palm technique.


Guo Xiang smiled sweetly, "This is the tenth position, guess where I go to school?"


And attack the Wuse with a simple Shaolin Fist called "Sea of Bitterness Has No Boundaries". This attitude belonged to Luohan's fist style and Wuse was both angry and amused at seeing this. And he quickly used another stance to block and lift it. It's called "Bringing Mountains and Jumping Oceans".


But when he did that he realized, “I just want to win it and can't recognize his school. He used ten different positions, what can I say. I certainly can't say he belongs to Shaolin."


Guo Xiang shouted, "Let me go!" something fell out of his clothes. Guo Xiang shouted again, "Let me go, old monk."


Wuse was an enlightened monk, he believed all beings were the same. He doesn't make a difference to men and women, he even treats animals with care. He said, “I'm old enough to be your grandfather. What are you afraid of?"


He gently flicked his arm and Guo Xiang landed a few meters further.


He was about to admit defeat, when he saw the two small dark iron figures of the two Arhats and took them.


Guo Xiang asked him, "Well, did you admit defeat?"


Wuse looked very happy and said, “Why should I admit defeat? Your father is the great hero Guo Jing, your mother is the heroine Huang Rong. Your grandfather was Mr. Huang from Peach Flower Island. You're the second Miss Guo Xiang. Your father learned martial arts from the seven Eccentric Jiang Nan, Peach Flower Island, the Northern Beggar and the Quanzhen School. No wonder Miss Guo has such a deep knowledge of martial arts. "


Guo Xiang was stunned, "This old monk is so tough, I used ten different ways, but he can still figure out who I am."


Wuse smiled and said, "Miss Guo, I recognize you from these two Arhat statues, how is brother Yang?"


Guo Xiang was startled for a moment and said, “You must be Reverend Wuse. You gave me these two Arhats as a gift for me. The reason I came here was to find out the news about brother Yang and sister Long. "


Wuse said, “Those years ago, Teacher Yang came to our monastery and stayed for a few days. And when he went to Xiangyang he asked me to help him. But I don't know where he is now. ”


It seemed that neither Guo Xiang nor Wuse knew where Yang Guo was.


Guo Xiang was stunned for a moment and said, “Even you don't know where he is now. I wonder who knows. "


Guo Xiang thanked him for the gift.


These two arhats were made by a carpenter monk from Shaolin. These two Arhats can display a bunch of Luohan fists if you activate the mechanism. That's why Guo Xiang knew Shaolin's fist.


Wuse laughed and said, “Because of our monastery rules, I cannot invite you to stay, however I will escort you. Please forgive us. "


Guo Xiang pensively said, "It doesn't matter, I asked what I came for."


Wuse said, “As for my Buddhist brother Jueyuan, I will explain later. Did you know, we'll find a nice inn and talk about this with good food and wine. ” Reverend Wuse is highly respected by the Shaolin monks, and they are all at a loss to see him so respectful of a young girl.


Guo Xiang said, “No need for that, I am sorry for injuring some Pastors. Please forgive me for being rash. I'll go now and hope to see you again. "


Wuse laughed and said, "I insist, I'll drive you. Sorry, I couldn't attend your sixteenth birthday that year. After burning the Mongolian army's supplies and gunpowder, I left without going to Xiangyang.


Guo Xiang knew that he had good intentions, and liked his straightforward attitude and was eager to befriend him and said, "Good."


After the two of them walked for a while and passed through Yi Wei's pavilion. They heard footsteps behind them as they turned to look at Zhang Junbao. Guo Xiang smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, have you also come to escort me?"


Zhang Junbao blushed and said, "Yes."


Suddenly another monk ran towards Wuse looking rather busy. Wuse furrowed his brows and said, "Why are you so panicked?" The monk went to Wuse and said something very slowly. Wuse's face changed and said, "Really?"


The monk said, "The head of the monastery asked the Wuse master to return now and discuss the matter."


Guo Xiang saw that Wuse looked anxious and said to him, “If you have anything to do now, please come back. True friends don't need all those formalities, we can always eat and drink at a later time. "


Wuse looked pleased and said, “No wonder Teacher Yang praised you. You're a real hero, today you're friends. "


Guo Xiang smiled and said, “You are already friends with brother Yang. That makes you my friend too. ”


The two split up and Wuse returned.


Guo Xiang continued walking, Zhang Junbao did not dare to walk beside him and guard the Five steps between them.


Guo Xiang asked, "Why are they punishing your teacher?"


Zhang Junbao said, "The rules of the monastery are very strict, if the monks violate them, they must be punished."


Guo Xiang asked, "What mistake did your teacher make, he's a very good person."


Zhang sighed, "It's all because of the lost Ni Jia Scripture."


Guo Xiang said, "You mean the scriptures stolen by Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexing."


Zhang said, “Yes, that day at Mount Hua, I searched them and found nothing even with Master Yang's help. After we left the mountain, we could not find them anymore. We went back to the monastery and reported it to the abbot. Since the scriptures were written by Master Damo, the elder of the Discipline Hall blamed my teacher for not paying better attention to the scriptures and severely punishing them. ”


Guo Xiang sighed, “This blames others. Why Pastor Jueyuan was punished for it. Therefore they ordered your teacher to fill the well and forbade him from speaking. "


Zhang said, “This is Shaolin's long-standing punishment. According to the elders, this punishment could also be seen as a good form of self-cultivation. "


Guo Xiang laughed, "It looks like I'm a busy person." Zhang quickly said, "We will always remember Miss Guo's help and intentions."


Guo Xiang sighed and thought, "But someone has completely forgotten me."


After a while they reached the place where Guo Xiang tied up his mule and he said, "Brother Zhang, you don't need to drive me anymore." Zhang Junbao seemed reluctant to part ways and did not know what to say to Guo Xiang.


Guo Xiang took out his two Arhats and gave them to Zhang Junbao, "Here we go."


Zhang Junbao did not take it and said, "I .."


Guo Xiang said, "I gave it to you, so take it." Zhang Junbao said, "I… ..I...”


Guo Xiang put it in his hand and put up the mule.


Suddenly someone shouted, "Miss Guo, please wait."


It was Reverend Wuse, Guo Xiang thought, "This old monk is too formal."


Wuse reached Guo Xiang for a while and told Zhang Junbao, "Go back to the monastery, don't take a walk."


Zhang Junbao assented and stared at Guo Xiang for a bit and quickly left.


Wuse waited until he left and took out a note and said, "Miss Guo, do you know who wrote this note?"


Guo Xiang took the note and read it :


“The Shaolin martial art has been declared invincible throughout China for many years. Ten days from now, the Three Saints of Kunlun will see all the skills of Shaolin.”


His handwriting is very strong. Guo Xiang asked, “Who are“ Three Saints Kunlun ”ini, they sound very arrogant.”


Wuse said, "You don't know them?" Guo Xiang shook his head and said, “No, I don't know them. I've never heard my parents mention this name before."


Wuse said, "That's a strange thing." Guo Xiang asked, "What's so strange?"


Wuse said, “If yes, I am not too surprised. Shaolin has been a leading martial arts school in wulin for hundreds of years. So many martial arts experts come here to challenge us, but we always treat our guests politely. And we try to avoid fighting as much as possible, because if we fight every expert who comes here to fight, we won't have time to cultivate us."


Guo Xiang nodded and said, "That's right."


Wuse said, “However, when the experts are here, and if we don't show their special abilities, they won't be impressed. Luohan Hall is there to greet these guests with this special treatment."


Guo Xiang laughed and said, "So you're here just to fight." Wuse smiled wryly, "Usually the wulin people, the disciples of the Luohan Hall can handle them, I don't need to fight them personally. But today, when I saw Miss Guo's unusual martial arts, I decided to take a look at it myself."


Guo Xiang smiled, "You really appreciate me."


Wuse said, “Look at me, we're straying. To be honest, we found this record in Luohan Hall in the hands of the Dragon Conqueror Arhat. " Guo Xiang was surprised and asked, "Who put it there?" Wuse shook his head and said, “We don't know. There are hundreds of Shaolin monks in the monastery, if someone sneaks in, someone will notice. And there were eight disciples standing guard in the Luohan Hall every day. Someone had just found the note and immediately reported it to the abbot. Everyone thought it was weird and that was why I was called back immediately."


Guo Xiang now understood what he was getting and said, “You think I allied with the Three Saints from Kunlun. I was making a diversion here while the three people entered the Luohan Hall and left a note."


Wuse said, “After meeting you, I felt that there was no way you could do such a thing. But it's very coincidental that with your appearance a note was left behind in the Luohan Hall. That's why the abbot and my martial arts brother, Wuxiang, wrongly suspect you of being involved in this."


Guo Xiang said, “I don't know them, what are you afraid of? Ten days later if they dare to come, just accept the challenge."


Wuse said, “Fear, of course we are not afraid. I'm sure now that they're not your friends.”


Guo Xiang knew Wuse's intentions were good, he was afraid the Three Saints were his friends and was afraid that in their fights they could ruin their friendship. He said, “If they come here and politely want to test martial arts with you, it doesn't matter. If not, teach them a lesson. Also the tone was very arrogant, 'look at all the Shaolin skills'. Do they really want to see seven Shaolin skills?”


He suddenly thought of something and said, "Could there be a traitor among you and secretly put that note there?" Wuse said, “We also thought of this, but it was impossible. Because of the height of the Arhat statue's hand almost ten meters. If one was going to jump there, the art of hovering would have to be extraordinary. If there was a traitor, he wouldn't have good martial arts."


Guo Xiang was very confused by this entire incident and was very interested to know the outcome of this duel. But he knew he would miss this fight because Shaolin did not allow women to enter.


Wuse saw him pensive and thought that he was thinking of a plan to help them and said, “Shaolin has overcome many obstacles in this thousand years and is still standing. If "Three Kunlun Saints" really want to fight, we will try our best to fight them. Miss Guo, in less than a month, you will hear whether these "Three Kunlun Saints" have defeated Shaolin or not."


At this point, he looked extremely energetic and courageous.


Guo Xiang smiled and said, “Don't forget your cultivation? In less than a month I will wait for your good news.”


He climbed his mule again and smiled at Wuse.


And then he went to think of a plan to not miss this battle.


After thinking for a moment, “Maybe“ Three Saints Kunlun ”ini are just a few ordinary wulin people. And it will be easily defeated by the Shaolin monks, if they only have half of the abilities of my mother, father, grandfather or brother Yang, this fight will be very interesting.”


As he thought about Yang Guo, he became melancholic again. Three years of searching was in vain. The tomb at ZhongNan Mountain was empty, there was no news in the Valley of No Love, Fengling Ferries were also deserted. He thought, “What should I do when I find him? It will only increase my feelings for her and bring extra frustration. He went to a far away place, that was good for me too. Even though I know everything I do is in vain, it can't stop me from thinking about him and trying to find him."


He rode his mule and wandered a little on Mount Shaoshi and felt sad.


He heard the sound of music, he was surprised to hear someone playing a lute. He learned sitar art, chess, literature, and painting from his mother. Even though he only learned the basics, he was smart enough to give his own unique perspective on various issues. Often, she discussed this art with her mother. He tied his mule to a tree and walked towards the music.


He heard music mixed with bird singing and it seemed like the birds were singing along. Guo Xiang thought, “According to mom there is a song called “Enempty Mountain and Bird Singing ”. But this song has been lost for centuries, could it be that song?"


The music is getting more interesting. Guo Xiang was startled and thought, "This guy can fish birds with his music, this song is for sure" The Hundred Birds Admire the Phoenix ". And thought that if his grandfather was here, the two could play this song together. Because Huang YaoShi's flute was incomparable at the moment.


The music became softer and the birds flew and suddenly the music stopped. The man sighed and said he was unable to find a soulmate and unsheathed his sword and started carving on the ground.


Guo Xiang thought, "This guy is very skilled in arts and martial arts, let's see how his swordsmanship is."


He saw that this man was drawing a chessboard with his sword and started playing chess (Go) with himself.


Guo Xiang thought, “This guy is also lonely and cannot find a soulmate, so he plays chess with himself.”


After a while he saw the man stuck on the west side of the chessboard and left the center open.


Guo Xiang could not help himself and said, “Why did you take the western border? While the central plain is open.”


The man saw what he was doing and took the central plains which led to a draw. The man laughed and said, "Good, good!" and keep playing and realize that someone is present. He threw his sword and said, “Thank you for your help. May I ask who helped me?”


Guo Xiang saw that he had a long face and dark eyes and was quite thin. He was about thirty years old. She walked up to him and smiled, “I'm so fascinated by your music, Sir. And when I see that you're losing yourself, I can't help but show it. Forgive me for my candor."


The man was surprised to see a young girl and when he heard her talking about her music, he was so happy and said, “Nona, is a musician too? Will you play one song for me?”


Guo Xiang smiled and said, “My mother taught me some basics, compared to your divine music, I am very bad. But since I heard your song, it's only natural that I return a song. But you can't laugh."


The man said, "I don't dare."


And handed the zither to Guo Xiang.


Guo Xiang saw that this siter was antique. He started playing the lute and the game was not particularly spectacular but the man was very happy and surprised.


The song was about a hermit and he lived alone on the mountain and felt lonely. Since he did not have a soulmate, he looked sickly but his ideals would always be high.


The man heard his feelings in Guo Xiang's music and was very grateful and when the music stopped, he just stared blankly.


Guo Xiang gently put the zither on the ground and turned around and left again. A poem that matches this song :


A man was exploring the mountain


Near the river, alone


Although she was sad, even though she was unconscious


But he is wise, and will never change


And this work is the song of the man :


Today is so short, a hundred years so long


The earth is so vast, a hundred incarnations are approaching Tao


The angel let go of the reins, half as white as snow


The Creator met Madame Jade with a laugh, I hope for the dragon to embrace


Turn towards Phu Tang, to buy a good wine at Bac Bau


Inviting dragons to riches I despise,


Which all year long just beautify the creatures.


Guo Xiang explored nature for three years now, and experienced many strange occurrences. So he forgot all about the man who played the lute and chess. Two more days, the Three Saints of Kunlun will challenge Shaolin. He was thinking of a way to sneak in and watch but could not think of anything. He thought, “My mother can think of eighteen plans in the blink of an eye. I was too stupid and I couldn't even think of a single plan. It's okay, I'm going to Shaolin and maybe they're too busy fighting intruders so they forget to stop me from entering."


He ate some rations for the trip and proceeded to Shaolin. After riding for some time, he saw three horses riding on him. And in no time they passed through it and headed to Shaolin. The riders were all men in their fifties and in green robes and guns hung on the saddle.


Guo Xiang thought, “These three people are martial artists and they carry weapons. They must be the Three Saints Kunlun. If I'm not in a hurry, I'll lose a good fight."


He gave the donkey a pat and he quickly chased after them. The three horsemen whipped his horse to increase speed. One of the old men turned around and gave a strange look.


Bagal Guo Xiang chased after from close range. The three horses were already invisible. The bagal looked exhausted. Guo Xiang scolding, “Animal slackers! Usually you never listen to me and keep running. When I need you to run, you can't follow. " He pulled the mule into the small stone pavilion and gave the mule a rest. After a while the three riders returned. Guo Xiang was startled and thought, "Could it be that they are completely useless and defeated in a single blow?"


The three riders went down, Guo Xiang looked at them and saw one of them with a cinnabar face. The others had very red faces and looked very friendly. The third one was very tall and thin and looked very pale, but in its pallor there was a touch of green.


These three old men looked perfectly normal except for their strange complexion. He was very fascinated and asked, “May I ask if you go to Shaolin Monastery or not? Why did you come back when you were right up there? " The pale-looking man looked at her sternly, like scolding her for asking a question.


The red-faced man smiled and said, "How did you know we were heading to the monastery?" Guo Xiang said, "If you go there, you will go to the Shaolin Monastery."


The red-faced man nodded and said, "That's right, and where is Miss going?" Guo Xiang said, "You're going to Shaolin, and I'm going too."


The pale-faced man said, "Shaolin does not allow women to enter and carrying weapons is also prohibited." He sounded extremely arrogant, and because of his height he looked over Guo Xiang's head ignoring him altogether.


Guo Xiang was annoyed and said, “You also brought a weapon. Or is it not the weapon? "


The pale-faced man coldly said, "How can you compare yourself to us?"


Guo Xiang sneered, “What about the three of you? Did the Three Saints of Kunlun fight with the old Shaolin monk? Who wins and who loses? ”


The faces of the three old men changed. The red-faced man asked, "Little Miss, how do you know about the incident with these Three Saints in Kunlun?" Guo Xiang said, "Of course I know."


The pale-faced man walked over and firmly said, “What's your name? Whose student are you? And what is your business here at Shaolin?


Guo Xiang lifted her pretty face and said, "It's over."


The pale-faced man was grumpy and raised his hand to slap him. But he realized that if he did that, he would bully a young girl. He quickly advanced towards Guo Xiang and snatched his sword.


Guo Xiang became caught off guard, this had never happened before in his life. To be honest, with his martial arts and experience, he was not suited to explore the world alone. But everyone respected Guo Jing and Huang Rong and knew she was their daughter and Yang Guo spread the word about her sixteenth birthday and all the unorthodox wulin people knew her. Even if they did not dare to give the faces of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, they would definitely respect Yang Guo. Moreover, she was extremely beautiful and frankly, she treated everyone equally no matter what social status they had. Although the martial arts world was a dangerous place, he always performed well and unscathed. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life and knew he could not get his sword back. Because he had yet to match them, but giving up like this was extremely difficult to accept.


The pale-faced man held the sword between his index and middle fingers and coldly said, “I will keep this sword for a while. Seeing you have the courage to disrespect me, it is clear that your parents and teachers did not teach you manners. If you want them to come and reclaim the sword and I'll tell them what happened and suggest to pay more attention to you. "


Guo Xiang was furious when he heard this, according to this man she was a wild girl with no manners, and thought, “Good! Not only did you scold me, you also scolded my parents, grandfather. Do you really think you have an unbeatable ability and you can be so arrogant. ”


He held back his anger and said, "What's your name?"


The pale-faced man snorted and said, "Let me teach you, you must say: Gentlemen, may I be so bold as to ask what your name is?"


Guo Xiang angrily said, “No, I will say it as I please. If you don't want to tell me, fine. Not that I'm so curious. This sword is not very valuable, and you oppressed a young girl by stealing their possessions. I don't want it anymore."


He turned around and walked out of the pavilion.


Suddenly the red-faced man blocked Guo Xiang and smiled, “Young girls shouldn't be so grumpy, when you get married you can't go berserk like that anymore. Let me tell you, we are three martial arts brothers, and we have just arrived in China a few days. We're from the western border of China."


Guo Xiang pouted, "I know that too, in China we don't recognize the three of you." The three men looked at each other and the red-faced man asked, "May I ask Miss, who is your teacher?" Guo Xiang initially did not want to reveal his parents' names in Shaolin. But now he is angry and tells them, “My father's name is Guo Jing. And my mother's name is Huang Rong. I don't have a teacher, I learned a little martial arts from my parents."


The three old men looked at each other and the pale-faced man softly said, “Guo Jing? Huang Rong's? Which school are they from? Whose students are they?"


Guo Xiang was furious, as his parents were respected all over the world. Even ordinary people knew them, let alone the wulin people, the famous great hero Guo Jing was respected for guarding Xiangyang city for so many years.


But judging from their expressions, they did not pretend to be indifferent. He realized, “These three Kunlun Saints live on the western border and rarely come to China. Otherwise, their martial arts father and mother would definitely mention it to me. If they really don't know my parents then it's not strange. It is very possible that they just learned martial arts in Kunlun Mountain and forgot all the other things.”


When she realized this, her anger vanished, she was not a girl who could throw a tantrum and said, “My name is Guo Xiang. Well, I've told you everything you want to know. Gentlemen, may I be so bold as to ask what your name is? ”


The red-faced man smiled, "That's a good girl, now you show respect to the senior."


He pointed to the yellow-faced man and said, “It was our oldest martial arts brother, his name is Pan Tiangeng, I am the second martial arts brother and my name is Fang Tianlao. This is my third martial arts brother and his name is Wei Tianwang. The three of us are part of the Tian generation of characters. "


Guo Xiang nodded and remembered their names and asked, “Are you going to Shaolin Monastery or not? Have you fought the monks there? And who's better? ” Wei Tianwang firmly asked him, “How did you know we would compete with Shaolin monks? Almost no one knows this and when do you know this? Tell us now! ” He walked towards Guo Xiang making a fist and looked at Guo Xiang very cruelly. Guo Xiang thought, “Do you really think you can intimidate me? I wanted to tell you at first, but now I don't want to talk. ”


He looked at her nonchalantly and said coldly, "Your name is good, why don't you change it to TianE ('born cruelly')?"


Wei Tianwang angrily shouted, "What?"


Guo Xiang said, “I have never met a more ruthless man like you, you took my gun and you are still this cruel. Are you the God of Violence in reincarnation? "


Wei Tianwang made some strange sounds like a beast and his chest swelled up and looked like his hair and eyebrows were also raised.


Fang Tianlao said, "Third brother, don't get angry." and he pulled Guo Xiang back and he stood between the two of them.


Guo Xiang looked at Wei Tianwang and knew if he attacked, he would not be able to hold it in and started to get a little scared.


Wei Tianwang retracted Guo Xiang's short sword and used two fingers to hold it and used his internal strength to break it into two pieces. He returned the broken part back to its sheath and said, "Who wants your unworthy sword." Guo Xiang looked at the powerful energy from his fingers and looked amazed.


Wei Tianwang looked at his expression and was very happy and laughed out loud. This laughter pierced the ears and shook the pavilion tile.


Suddenly the roof cracked and something fell. Everyone was shocked by this and even Wei Tianwang was even more shocked. He used his internal strength to make a sound of laughter to vibrate the tiles. But there was actually no joy in his laughter. When he saw the cracked roof open, he thought that unbeknownst to himself he reached a higher level in internal energy cultivation.


When he saw the fallen "object" he was surprised to see a white-robed man holding a zither. He just lay there, closed his eyes.


Guo Xiang was happy to see her and said, "You're here too." This man was the man he had met before.


The man jumped when he heard Guo Xiang talking to him and said, “Nona, I was looking for you. I didn't know you were here.”


Guo Xiang said, "Why are you looking for me?" The man said, "I forgot to ask you something, which is [Miss, may I ask what your name is?]."


Guo Xiang said, "How very formal, I can't stand that polite and sad manner of speech." The person was stunned for a moment and laughed, “You were right, you were right. Those who hold to mere conventionality and airs have no real ability. Those people were only suited to fool the ignorant farmer." after saying that he looked at Wei Tianwang and sneered.


Guo Xiang was very happy and thought this man was helping him.


Wei Tianwang looked at him and his face became increasingly white and coldly asked, "May I know your name, Master?"


The man ignored her and asked, "Miss, what's your name?"


Guo Xiang said, "My name is Guo Xiang."


The man clapped his hands and said, “I'm sorry for not recognizing you, you are the famous Miss Guo. Your father was the great hero Lord Guo Jing and your mother was the famous heroine of Mr. Huang Rong. With the exception of the foolish cultivators and idiots, everyone in the martial arts realm knew them. Both were well versed in literary and martial arts, and well versed in swords, swords, spears, spears. Also famous for palms, fist techniques, internal energy, zither, chess, calligraphy, art, composing poetry and songs. But obviously there are some fools who have never heard of them before."


Guo Xiang was quite amused and thought, “You were listening to our conversation on the roof. You don't seem to know who my parents are. And my father who was adept at literature was even funnier. " He laughed and said, "Well, what's your name?"


The man replied, "My name is He Zudao." Guo Xiang smiled and said, “He Zudao! He Zu Dao Zai ('not worth mentioning')? Very simple name.”


He Zudao said, "Compared to Tian ('heaven') something or Di ('earth') something this arrogant boasted, too stupid, my name is not too terrible.”


He Zudao continued to mock the three of them, they could control their emotions because they knew this man was not an ordinary man. But He's statement grew even more insulting and Wei Tianwang was the first to attack and raise his palm to attack He Zudao. He Zudao lowered his head and passed under Wei's embrace. Wei Tianwang felt a numbness in his left hand and saw that He took the sword from his hand. When Wei Tianwang snatched the sword, he was so fast that no one could see its movements, but He Zudao did so in a very light and hovering manner.


Wei Tianwang was startled and he used his hand as a claw to try to get the sword back. He aimed at He's shoulder. He dodged those claws. Pan Tiangeng and Fang Tianlao jumped out of the pavilion. Wei Tianwang attacked with both hands, left hand with a fist, the position of the right palm caused a 'swaying sound.' He Zudao avoided Wei's seven, eight position, Wei could not even touch He's clothes. With one hand holding the sword, he could still dodge the violent attacks of the attackers, with the small movements of Wei Tianwang's attacks always in vain.


Guo Xiang, he was not a true martial expert due to his young age. However, his friends and relatives were all the best martial arts experts at the moment so his insights were very deep about martial arts. When he saw that He Zudao was using balanced movements and extremely clever movements to avoid an extremely ruthless attack, he said, he knew that his martial arts came from a different and very different type of martial arts found in China.


Wei Tianwang had already used twenty positions and was still unable to force his opponent to fight, so he took a deep breath and his fist technique changed and he attacked slowly now but his fist strength increased. Guo Xiang sensed his energy and stepped out of the pavilion.


At this point, He Zudao did not dare just to dodge this attack and hung the sword on his belt and stood still and shouted, "You are not the only one who is an expert in formidable martial arts." When Wei's two palms reached him, He used his left hand to respond to this attack. Strong against tough, three palms make a 'bamming' sound'. Wei's body trembled and he took two steps back. He Zudao stood still.


Wei Tianwang had always believed that this skill of his was incomparable in the real world. But today he couldn't win and he himself was pushed back two steps. He was not ready to give up and took a deep breath and shouted both palms pushed forward. He Zudao shouted as well and returned the palm, shaking the broken roof.


Wei Tianwang took four steps back, before he could stand still again. After two palm strikes to the palm, his hair was messy and he had insect eyes that now looked extremely frightening. He placed his hands around his public area and took a few breaths causing his chest to swell again. All his joints let out a funny cracking sound and he walked towards He Zudao.


He Zudao did not dare to be negligent and prepared himself to meet him. Wei Tianwang continued walking towards He and walked so close that they could feel each other's breath. At this point, one of Wei's palms leads to He facing the other palm that leads to the lower abdomen. With this attack he hoped to split the opponent's energy. This attitude is very hard and fierce.


He Zudao used both of his palms to meet Wei's palm. He divided his energy into two sorts, Ying and Yang. Wei felt that the palm that led to his face was empty and hollow, the other palms were smashing against the brick iron wall. Wei Tianwang knew this was not good and he felt an enormous energy coming towards him and pushing him out of the pavilion.


This kind of formidable attack, the weaker ones would be injured and there was no way to avoid it. It did not matter whether Wei Tianwang could stand still or fall. His own energy was reflected back and He Zudao energy was added to it. Wei will definitely cough up blood. Pan Tiangeng and Fang Tianlao both shouted, "Now!" The two jumped up and grabbed Wei's arm and lifted him up, and helped him avoid that huge blow. Although Wei Tianwang was unharmed, his five internal organs felt like they were upside down and all of his joints seemed to be fractured. He could not breathe easily now and was panting.


Fang Tianlao was angry and surprised to see his third martial arts brother get injured but kept smiling and said, “Your palm technique is indeed very powerful, and can hardly be equalled in nature. Yours truly. ”


Guo Xiang thought, “In terms of powerful palm techniques, who can match my Father's Eighteen Dragon Palms. You, the Three Saints Kunlun, are too indifferent. One day you will meet a true hero from the central plains. "


When he thought of this, he felt sad again. Because he hoped the hero they would meet was Yang Guo and not his father Guo Jing.


Fang Tianlao said, "This unworthy old man wants to try your swordsmanship."


He Zudao said, “Brother Fang is very friendly towards Miss Guo. I don't blame you for anything and we don't have to fight. "


Guo Xiang was startled and thought, "The reason why you taught Wei Tianwang is because he was so rude to me?"


Fang Tianlao unsheathed his sword and used his finger to tick the tip of his sword. The sword made a buzzing sound. As Fang unsheathed his sword, his smile disappeared. The sword pointed at the sky and this position was called "An Immortal Giving Directions".


He Zudao said, "If brother Fang really wants to fight, I will use Miss Guo's short sword." He unsheathed the broken sword, the sword was originally very short and after Wei Tianwang broke it even became shorter. Moreover, the tip was now gone and did not even resemble a dagger.


He Zudao held the glove in his left hand and swung his sword forward. This was an extremely fast maneuver, Fang Tianlao saw a white flash and He Zudao attacked with three positions, because the sword He was using was too short that he was unable to injure Fang Tianlao. But Fang was still frightened and thought, “Three positions are very fast, most difficult to block. What kind of swordsmanship did he use? If he used an ordinary long sword, I would have died by now. "


After He Zudao attacked with three positions, he retreated and stood still. Fang Tianlao displayed his sword technique in half defensive and half attacking. He Zudao dodged the attack and did not retaliate. He suddenly attacked with incredible speed again forcing Fang Tianlao into a hurry. And He Zudao jumped back. Fang Tianlao displayed his sword into a white light, and his movements were extremely fast.


Guo Xiang thought, “This old man's technique is cruel, fierce, cruel and viscous. Similar to Wei Tianwang's palm technique, but he was faster and made it more deadly ... ”.


When he thought about it here, he heard He Zudao shout, "Be careful!" After saying the 'careful' glove on his left hand was as fast as lightning and the sword of his fangs was wrapped and the sword of his right hand pointed to Fang Tianlao's throat.


Fang Tianlaos' sword was stuck in its sheath and could not be used to block that stance. Seeing that the sword was about to pierce through his throat, he released his sword and rolled on the ground and dodged the deadly blow. Before Fang got up, Pan Tiangeng grabbed the sword hilt and plucked it from the sheath. Both Guo Xiang and He Zudao exclaimed, "Excellent movement!" This sickly-looking old man did not say a word, but it proved his martial arts were above his two younger brothers.


He Zudao said, “Master, you have a very good martial art. Yours truly. ” He Zudao turned to Guo Xiang and said, “Nona Guo, after hearing your enchanting appearance before, I have made another song. And I want you to give me your opinion. "


Guo Xiang asked, "What song is that?" He Zudao sat down on the ground and started preparing his zither.


Pan Tiangeng said, “You have defeated two of my martial arts brothers. I'd like to compete with you. "


He Zudao shook his hand and said, “I've competed and don't like it. I want to play a song for Miss Guo right now. This is a new song, if you are interested you can stay and listen if you do not understand, you are welcome to go. ” And start playing zither.


Guo Xiang was amazed and pleased. Somehow He Zudao composed this new song from the song he had played before. Makes it more brilliant and interesting. The music is so stunning.


The actual translation should wait a while, or someone else already knows the translation. He is welcome to do that part.


In one part of the song, He Zudao mentions "he" in the lyrics, Guo Xiang thinks, "Si" him "in the song, could it be me? The music is very touching, moving, and filled with admiration and love. "


Realizing that Guo Xiang blushed. Never in his life did he hear such beautiful music.


Pan Tiangeng and the others did not understand any of this. They had no idea that He Zudao was a rather arrogant man with a ridiculous nerdy behavioral talent.


After making a new song, he rushed to play it for Guo Xiang. Next, she arranged it for him and he forgot about the others. But seeing him like this, Pan and the others thought he was underestimating them and couldn't contain their anger anymore.


Pan pointed the sword at He Zudaos' shoulder and shouted, "Stand, I want to fight you."


He Zudao was fully into music and considered himself a proud scholar who wandered around to enjoy the scenery. He faintly saw a very gentle young girl standing on a small island. No matter what stood in his way, he had to contact her ……


He suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder and raised his head to see Pan Tiangeng pointing a sword at his shoulder and piercing through a bit of his skin. He knew that if he didn't fight Pan would definitely hurt him. However, he had not finished his song and felt that this Philistine was blocking him from finishing his song to Guo Xiang.


He Zudao pulled out Guo Xiang's broken sword in his left hand and blocked Pan Tiangeng's attack and used his right hand to play the siter.


He Zudao showed his special ability, one hand playing the zither and the other hand using the sword. He did very well with one hand playing the siter. He also used a gust of air to play the other zither tones.


Pan Tiangeng attacked quickly with some violent techniques, He Zudao easily blocked them and his eyes concentrated on the zither and feared the gust of air would spread.


Pan Tiangeng became even more furious, his sword techniques becoming increasingly fierce, but He Zudao remained to easily fend it off.


Guo Xiang was listening to music and did not pay attention to Pan Tiangeng's attack. However, the intersecting sounds of swords interfered with the music. He gently clapped his hands and raised his eyebrows and said to Pan Tiangeng, “Your technique is not in unison, are you unfamiliar with music? If you listen carefully, the sound of the sword will not interfere with the music."


Pan Tiangeng did not notice him and saw that the enemy was sitting on the ground and concentrating on the zither. And still he could not cope with He Zudao, Pan became extremely anxious and his position turned into a quick attack and the clanking of voices became extremely dense. This sound was completely the opposite of soft soft music. He Zudao raised his eyebrows and gave strength to his sword and Pan Tiangeng's sword made a 'clank' sound and broke into two pieces. However, one of the zither keys also broke off. Pan Tiangeng looked extremely pale and did not say a word and left the pavilion. The three martial arts brothers rode their horses and quickly climbed the mountain.


Guo Xiang was slightly surprised to see that and said, “These three people were defeated, why are they still heading towards Shaolin Monastery? Do they really want to fight until the end?”


He turned to He Zudao and saw that he looked sad and was touching the broken rope and looked very unhappy. Guo Xiang thought, "Only broken chords why is it so unhappy?" He picked up the zither and removed the broken rope and tuned the zither again.


He Zudao sighed, “After many years of training, I still cannot focus well. I used the power in my left hand to break his sword but also broke the rope."


Now Guo Xiang understood and knew he was not happy that his martial arts were still imperfect and smiled, “You want to fight with your left hand and play the zither with your right hand. This form of two-point concentration use is known only to three people in the universe. You have not reached that level yet, why worry too much about it.”


He Zudao asked, "Who are these three people?" Guo Xiang said, “The first one is“ Si Imp Tua ”Zhou Botong, the second one is my father and the third one is Madame Yang, Xiao Longnu. Apart from these three people, even people with great martial arts like my grandfather, the ruler of Peach Flower Island, my mother and "Condor Hero" Yang Guo could not do it.”


He Zudao said, “It is hard to believe that there are so many amazing people in this world. You should introduce me to them.”


Guo Xiang faintly said, "If you want to meet my father it's not difficult, for the other two, I don't even know where to look."He saw He Zudao looking disappointed he said, "You've defeated "Three Saints from Kunlun" which is an incredible thing. Why worry about small events like broken chords."


He Zudao was surprised and asked, “Three Kunlun Saints? What are you talking about? And how do you know?”


Guo Xiang smiled, “Three old men came from the western border, they must be “Three Saints Kunlun.” They do have unique abilities, but challenging Shaolin is a bit too arrogant.”.


He saw that He Zudao looked very strange and asked, "What is so strange?"


He Zudao softly said, “Three Kunlun Saints, Three Kunlun Saints, He Zudao. That's me."


Guo Xiang was surprised and asked, “You are“ Three Saints Kunlun”? Where are the other two?”


He Zudao said, "Three Kunlun Saints" are one person, there have never been three people. I have built up a small reputation on the western border, and local friends say that my chess, sword, and zither skills are amazing. Also they say I am fit to be a saint in zither, a saint in chess and a saint in swordsmanship. But I know that a saint is not something that can be easily assumed. So I changed my name to He Zudao ('not worth mentioning'). So, when other people hear my name, they won't think I'm an arrogant and arrogant person."


Guo Xiang smiled and clapped, “Now I understand. I think that “Three Saints in Kunlun are three people. But who are the three old men?"


He Zudao replied, “They? They're Shaolin's students."


Guo Xiang grew even more confused and said, “So it belongs to Shaolin. True, their martial arts were sturdy and powerful. Indeed the red-faced man used "Damo" swordsmanship and the sickly-looking man used the "WeiTuo" Demon Conqueror Sword technique". But there have been many changes and changes in those I cannot recognize. Why did they come here?"


He Zudao said, “This is not without reason. Last spring, I was at Kunlun Mountain, the peak of JingShen playing the siter. Suddenly I heard the sound of a fight and looked around and saw two people struggling on the ground. Both are seriously injured but both are still wrestling with each other. I yelled at them to stop but they still continued and walked over to push them aside. When I did, one of them fell and died, the other was still breathing. I took her to my house and gave her some medicine, after half a day she was cured. But he was severely injured and no medicine could prolong his life anymore. Before he died he said his name was Yin Kexi.”.


Guo Xiang exclaimed in shock and asked, “Is that person named Xiao Xiangzi? He's very tall and skinny and his face looks like a corpse, doesn't it?”


He Zudao was surprised and said, "Yes, how do you know?"


Guo Xiang said, "I've seen them, I never thought the two of them would fight to the death."


He Zudao said, “Yin Kexi said that he was committing a life of crime, there was no point in feeling sorry for himself anymore. He said that he and Xiao Xiangzi went to the Shaolin Monastery and stole a manuscript, both of whom were suspicious of each other. Both of them did not believe each other and were afraid that if the other studied the script, he would kill the other and keep the script for himself. The two ate at the same table, slept in the same bed and left no one else out of sight. But, both were afraid that someone would put poison into the food or sneak into it at night and kill it. The two were very agitated and could not eat or rest properly, too, they were afraid that Shaolin monks would catch up with them. So they went to the western border and at JingShen Peak, both of them were very tired and knew if this continued both of them would be tired to death. So they fight out there and then. According to Yin Kexi, Xiao Xiangzi's martial arts were better than him and attacked first. Yin Kexi suffered a blow, but in the end, Yin Kexi gained the advantage. Then Yin realized that Xiao Xiangzi was seriously injured in Mount Hua and had yet to recover. If it were the other way around, they would not have made it to Kunlun Mountain. ”


After Guo Xiang heard this story, he thought about the situation of Yin Kexi and Xiao Xiangzi back then and became moody and sighed, "Just because of the script, this is not worth it."


He Zudao said, “After telling this, Yin Kexi had trouble breathing and begged me to go to the Shaolin Monastery and tell a monk named Jueyuan something about 'the manuscript is in the oil' ('Jing Zai You Zhong'). I found this sentence very strange and did not understand what he meant by the script in oil. When I wanted to ask her what she meant, she fainted. I thought after he rested for a while I would ask again. But he never woke up again. I thought maybe he hid the manuscript inside the oil cloth, but I could not find anything in their clothes. In any case, I had been entrusted to deliver the message so I decided to carry out this mission. Besides, I had never been to China before, so I decided to tour around for some time and ended up here.


Guo Xiang asked, “Why did you leave a note in Shaolin? And challenge the Shaolin monk?


He Zudao smiled and said, “This has something to do with the three old men earlier. They were Shaolin disciples from the West Shaolin Monastery. According to the people there, they were from the same "Tian" generation as this TianMing abbot of Shaolin. It seemed that their patriarch had a disagreement with the martial arts brothers here and angrily he went and founded the Western Shaolin Monastery. Initially, Shaolin martial arts came with Master Damo from India to China and from China to the west. That's not a strange thing. These three men heard of my reputation as "Three Kunlun Saints" and wanted to duel with me. On their way here, they kept boasting that Shaolin martial arts were unmatched in nature, I was allowed to be a saint in chess and sitar, but not in swordsmanship. So I must be two saints, not three. And this happened before I met Yin Kexi so I thought I could complete two tasks at once. I sent someone to tell the three old men to meet me at the Shaolin Monastery. Anyway, the three of them traveled very quickly and were able to catch up with me."


Guo Xiang laughed, “I guess completely wrong. I wonder what the three old men will say when they reach Shaolin Monastery."


He Zudao said, “I have no grudge against Shaolin so I left a note that I will come ten days later. I did this because I wanted the three old men to arrive at Shaolin and fight them. But now that the duel is over, let's go to Shaolin together and once I deliver the message we will go again.”


Guo Xiang furrowed his brows and said, "The rules of these monks are very strict, women cannot enter."


He Zudao said, “Pooh! What fucking rules! We're just going in and what are they going to do? Kill us?”


Guo Xiang is a rather nosy girl, but after meeting with Reverend Wuse she has no bad feelings towards Shaolin and shakes her head and smiles, “I will be waiting for you outside, I will be waiting for you outside, you just go in and deliver the message. No need to create unnecessary trouble."


He Zudao nodded and said, “Alright! I'm not finished playing my song for you after delivering a message I'll play once again for you.”
