Chapter - 4 Thinking of the Unforgettable Man Far Away (4) (1/2)
Wuse said, ”Very impressive ”Whisking Acupoint Orchid Hand.” May I ask how you address the lord of the Peach Blossom Island?”
Guo Xiang laughed, ”The lord of the Peach Blossom Island? I call him old Eastern Heretic.”
Huang YaoShi is her maternal grandfather. He is a strange, eccentric man and he calls his granddaughter little Eastern Heretic and Guo Xiang calls him old Eastern Heretic. Huang YaoShi is not angry when he hears it and he is even happy when he hears it.
Wuse was a robber in his early years. Although he has studied Zen for many years and has profound Buddhist knowledge, he still is very straightforward, otherwise, he couldn't be friends with Yang Guo. Seeing that this little girl is not willing to tell him, he wants to test her and find out. He smiled and said, ”Young Miss, if you can withstand ten of my stances, I can guess your school.”
Guo Xiang asked, ”What if you cannot?”
Wuse laughed and said, ”Well if you can withstand ten of my stances, I will have to listen to you.”
Guo Xiang pointed at Jueyuan and said, ”I met this reverend Jueyuan some years ago and I want to plead on his behalf. If I can withstand ten of your stances you have to promise not to give him anymore trouble.”
Wuse was surprised, he knew that Jueyuan was very pedantic and stayed in the Library and watched over the scriptures and never met any outsiders. How did he meet this young girl? Wuse said, ”We never did give him any trouble. He is sitting out his punishment, that is not giving him trouble.”
Guo Xiang pouted and scoffed, ”It seems to me that you just want to go back on your word.”
Wuse clapped his hands and said, ”Very well, if I lose I will carry threeteneight buckets of water for Jueyuan. Watch out, here I come.”
Guo Xiang was thinking when she spoke to him, ”This old monk seems to be a true expert. If he starts to attack first, I will have to try my best to defend myself and will reveal my parents' martial arts. The best thing to do is for me to attack first and try to gain the upperhand.” When she heard him say ”Watch out, here I come.” she didn't give him time to attack first and raised her sword and aimed for his chest. This was a technique from the ”Descending Flower Swordsmanship” namely ”Thousands and Myriads of Purple and Red.”
The tip of the sword kept moving, not revealing to the opponent where the sword was aiming for.
Guo Xiang yelled out, ”The second stance!” the short sword turned around and came from bottom to top, this was called the ”Celestial Gentry Topping Apart” which was a Quanzhen technique.
Wuse said, ”Good, Quanzhen sword technique.”
Guo Xiang said, ”Not necessarily.” Her short sword stabbed into the air and saw Wuse using an attack as a defense and using his fingers to grab her wrist. She was a bit afraid, ”This old monk is very formidable, he can attack bare-handed under such a dangerous technique.”
