Chapter - 63 Who Sends an Ice Barge to Your Birthplace (8) (2/2)
Xie Xun said, ”I'm nothing compared to him. Not even close! It's the difference between night and day!” Both his voice and his expression showed his great respect for this man.
Zhang CuiShan was quite surprised, and didn't quite believe Xie Xun. He always thought that his master Zhang SanFeng's martial arts is unparalleled. But compared to Xie Xun, Zhang SanFeng is only somewhat better. If this Reverend Kong Jian really is much superior to Xie Xun, then would he also surpass master Zhang SanFeng? But Zhang CuiShan knew that his big brother never exaggerates with his compliments.
Xie Xun seemed to have read his mind, said, ”You don't believe me? Fine, go wake up WuJi. I want to tell a story to him.” Zhang CuiShan didn't want to wake up a child in the middle of the night, especially for just a story. But since this is his big brother order, he couldn't disobey. Zhang CuiShan walked back to wake up his son. WuJi yelled 'Great!” when he heard that his godfather wanted to tell a story. This instantly woke up Yin SuSu. So the three of them went outside together.
Xie Xun said, ”Son, soon you'll return to the mainland…” WuJi asked, ”What do you mean by 'return to the mainland'?”
Xie Xun held up his hand, telling WuJi to not interrupt him, and continued, ”Should you somehow die in the sea, or end up elsewhere, then this will all be pointless. But should you end up back in mainland, I must tell you some things. There are many, many people in this world who are evil and devious. You should not trust anyone. For other than your parents, everyone could try to hurt you. Unfortunately, no one told me this when I was young. Actually, even if someone did, I wouldn't have believed him.
”At the age of ten, by simply a coincidence, I became the disciple of a person with powerful martial arts. My relationship with my master was like father and son. Fifth brother, at that time, my reverence for my master was no less than your reverence for yours. At the age of twenty-three, I finished my training and left. I went to the western regions, and met a bunch of pretty important people. Since we really hit it off, they considered me on of their brothers. Fifth sister, your father White-Browed Eagle King met me at that time. Afterwards, I married and had a son. My family live happily.”
”When I was twenty-eight, my master came by my house to stay for a while. I was absolutely thrilled. My family treated him as one of our own. When my master had some spare time, he gave me some pointers on kung fu. Who'd have thought that this renowned kung fu expert would be a wolf in sheep's clothing? On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after we had a lot of alcohol, he suddenly tried to rape my wife…”
Zhang CuiShan and Yin SuSu both gasped in disbelief, for it's unheard of for a master to rape his disciple's wife. It might be one of the most horrible deeds a person could possibly commit.
Xie Xun continued, ”When my wife cried out for help, my father forced himself into the room. After getting caught in the act, my master killed my father, and then killed my mother. Then to my infant child Xie WuJi…”
When WuJi heard his name, he asked, ”Xie WuJi?”
Zhang CuiShan scolded him, ”Don't interrupt! Just listen.” Xie Xun said, ”Yes, that son of mine is also called Xie WuJi. My master grabbed him, and threw him down, turning him into a bloody pulp.”
