Chapter - 339 Inn In a Deserted Village (14) (1/2)
Yet another moment someone was reciting softly, ”Once one make a dwelling one can stay for several dozens years.” Guo Jing recognized it was Ma Yu's voice, the intonation was really gentle and soothing. Tan Chuduan continued, ”With disheveled hair walking all day long like crazy.” His voice was straightforward and heroic. Guo Jing peeked outside and took a good look on the Second Master of the Quanzhen Seven Masters. He saw a muscular face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his body looked big and sturdy. Before he became a priest Tan Chuduan was a blacksmith in Shandong. After he entered Quanzhen Sect, his title was Changzhen [Eternal Truth] Zi.
The third Taoist priest was thin and small, his face looked like a monkey; he was Changsheng [Eternal Life] Zi, Liu Chuxuan. He continued the recitation, ”Chongyang Zi [from 'Wang Chongyang] underneath the 'hay tang ting' [ocean cherry-apple pavilion].” His stature might be small, but his voice was loud and clear.
Changchun [Eternal Spring (season, not water spring)] Zi Qiu Chuji opened his mouth, ”Tai yi xian [I think he is a Taoist deity] in the lotus leaf boat.” Followed by Yuyang [Jade Sun] Zi Wang Chuyi, ”Nothing can get out of an empty shell.” Guangning [Infinite Peace] Zi Hao Datong was next, ”There's someone who can reach enlightenment before being born.” Lastly Qingjing Sanren [Sage of Tranquily] Sun Bu'er recited, ”Leaving home with a smile without any obstruction.” Ma Yu concluded, ”Cloud in the West Lake, moon in the sky!”
Mei Chaofeng listened to these seven recitations, each voice carried an abundant 'qi' in it, a sign of their deep internal energy. She was secretly shocked, ”Are the Quanzhen Seven Masters really here this time? It can't be. Other than Ma Yu, the others' voices are not the same.”
On the peak of Mongolian desert cliff she had heard Ma Yu and the Six Freaks of Jiangnan pretending to be the Quanzhen Seven Masters talking to each other. Her eyes were blind, so she depended a lot on her extremely keen ears; her memory was also superb, once she heard anything, she would not forget it. She did not know that Ma Yu was deceiving her that day.
”Ma Daozhang, you must be well since our last meeting!” she said with a clear voice. She knew Ma Yu was showing her mercy the other day. Although she was vicious, she knew the good from evil. When Tan Chuduan could not overtake Zhou Botong he decided to return. On his way back he saw that Mei Chaofeng was using a living person to train her martial art. Being a man of chivalry and righteousness, he went forward to prevent evil; who would have thought that he was not her match. Fortunately Mei Chaofeng recognized him as a Quanzhen Sect priest. Out of her respect to Ma Yu she did not kill him, she only injured him and chased him away.
Ma Yu said, ”I am very fortunate! Thank you! The Peach Blossom Island does not have any enmity with Quanzhen Sect. Is your honorable master coming soon?”
Mei Chaofeng was startled, ”Are you expecting my Shifu?” she asked.
Qiu Chuji called out, ”Witch! Quickly get your Shifu over here to experience Quanzhen Sect's real skill.”
Mei Chaofeng was angry, ”Who are you?” she called out.
”Qiu Chuji!” Qiu Chuji said, ”Haven't you, the demon, heard my name?”
Mei Chaofeng cried out loudly, her body flew up to the direction of Qiu Chuji's voice. Her left palm was protecting herself, and her right claw striking downward.
Guo Jing knew that this pounce by Mei Chaofeng was swift and ruthlessly fierce, it was really difficult to block, although Qiu Chuji's martial art was good, he would not be able to take it head on. Who would have thought that he was still sitting cross-legged on the ground; he neither parried nor evaded.
”Not good!” Guo Jing shouted inwardly, ”How can Qiu Daozhang be this bold?” He saw that Mei Chaofeng was about to grab the top of Qiu Chuji's head, suddenly two palm winds came from left and right; it was Liu Chuxuan and Wang Chuyi striking together. Mei Chaofeng's right claw continued to strike, while her left palm swept horizontally to block Liu and Wang two people's palm strikes. Who would have thought that these two palms were complementing one another, one 'yin' [negative], the other 'yang' [positive], the power, unexpectedly, was much stronger than the internal strengths of two people added together.
