Chapter - 182 Wretched Luck Improves After Mastering (4) (2/2)
”It's Jiu Yang Shen Gong,” Zhang Wuji replied.
Zhu Changling was stunned. ”How did you train it?” he asked. Zhang Wuji did not hide anything. He told Zhu Changling how he treated a white ape's illness, how he found the manual inside the ape's belly, and how he practiced according to manual.
Listening to this story, Zhu Changling was jealous and resentful at the same time. He thought, ”I had to suffer hardship beyond description for five years, alone on this peak, yet this kid actually trained an incomparably mysterious 'shen gong'.” He did not remember that it was because his own heart's desire to harm others that they ended up this way; he also did not remember that Zhang Wuji had supplied him with fruits these past five years, every day without fail, so that he could live until today. He only remembered that this kid was too lucky while he was too unlucky, and he felt it was so unfair. Anger rose in his heart, with a forced laughter he said, ”Where is that Nine Yang Manual? Can you show it to me?”
Zhang Wuji thought, ”There is no harm in letting you take a look. I don't think you will remember much in just a short time.” Thereupon he said, ”I buried it inside the cave, I'll bring it out tomorrow for you to see.”
”You have grown this big,” Zhu Changling said, ”How can you go through the cave?”
”The cave is actually not too narrow,” Zhang Wuji said, ”If you make an effort to shrink your body and push, you can come through.”
”Do you think that I can squeeze through?” Zhu Changling asked.
Zhang Wuji nodded and said, ”We can try together tomorrow. The place inside the cave is spacious, nothing compared to staying on this tiny platform.” He was thinking of using his power to press his shoulder, chest, buttocks, and the bones all around his body, and help him to go through the cave.
”Xiao Xiongdi,” Zhu Changling laughed, ”You are indeed a good man, a gentleman who does not recall old grievances. I have done you wrong, I wish for your forgiveness.” While saying that, he bowed deeply with cupped fists.
Zhang Wuji hastily returned the propriety, saying, ”Zhu Bobo does not need to be overly courteous. We'll think of a way to get out of this place tomorrow.”
Zhu Changling was overjoyed. ”Did you say we are going to leave this place?” he asked.
Zhang Wuji said, ”If apes and monkeys can come in and out, we certainly can.”
”If that's the case, why didn't you leave?” Zhu Changling asked.
Showing a faint smile, Zhang Wuji said, ”I didn't want to go out for fear that people would bully me, but now I am not afraid anymore. I also want to see my Tai Shifu, along with all Shibo and Shishu [martial older and younger uncles, respectively].”
