Chapter - 6 Thinking of the Unforgettable Man Far Away (6) (1/2)
Guo Xiang asked, ”What did your teacher do wrong, he's a very nice man.”
Zhang sighed, ”It is all because of the Ni Jia Scripture that was lost.”
Guo Xiang said, ”You mean the scripture that was stolen by Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexing.”
Zhang said, ”Yes, that day at Mount Hua, I searched them and found nothing even with the help of Master Yang. After we left the mountain we couldn't find them anymore. We returned to the monastery and reported it to the abbot. Because that scripture was written by Master Damo, the elder of the Disciplinary Hall blamed my teacher for not paying better attention to the scriptures and heavily punished him.”
Guo Xiang sighed, ”This is blaming it on someone else. Why should reverend Jueyuan be punished for it. Because of this they ordered your teacher to fill that well and forbade him to speak.”
Zhang said, ”This is an old punishment of Shaolin. According to the elders, this punishment can also be seen as good form of self-cultivation.”
Guo Xiang laughed, ”It seems I'm a busybody.” Zhang quickly said, ”We will always remember Miss Guo's help and intentions.”
Guo Xiang sighed and thought, ”But someone has completely forgotten about me.”
After awhile they reached the place where Guo Xiang tied her mule and she said, ”Brother Zhang, you needn't see me off anymore.” Zhang Junbao looked reluctant to part and didn't know what to say to Guo Xiang.
Guo Xiang took out her two Arhats and gave them to Zhang Junbao, ”Here take it.”
Zhang Junbao didn't take it and said, ”I…I..”
Guo Xiang said, ”I'm giving it to you, so take it.” Zhang Junbao said, ”I…..I….”
Guo Xiang put them in his hands and mounted the mule.
Suddenly someone called out, ”Miss Guo, please wait.”
It was reverend Wuse, Guo Xiang thought, ” This old monk was too formal.”
Wuse reached Guo Xiang in a few moments and told Zhang Junbao, ”Return to the monastery, don't stroll about.”
Zhang Junbao said yes and stared at Guo Xiang for short while and quickly left.
Wuse waited till he was gone and took out a note and said, ”Miss Guo, do you know who wrote this note?”
Guo Xiang took the note and read it:
”Shaolin martial arts have been proclaimed to be invincible throughout China for many years. Ten days from now, The Three Saints of Kunlun will see all Shaolin skills.”
The handwriting was very strong. Guo Xiang asked, ”Who are these ”The Three Saints of Kunlun,” they sound very arrogant.”
Wuse said, ”You don't know them?” Guo Xiang shook her head and said, ”No, I don't know them. I have not heard my parents mention this name before.”
