o injure you?”
XuanNan said: “There is some misunderstanding, we are still in the midst of clarifying the situation.” The person said: “What misunderstanding? Who misunderstood who? To cut the long story short, whoever injure 7th sister is the one at fault. Oh my goodness, 8th brother is also injured, the one who injure him is not a good person, how many bad person are here? Quickly step up and confess, we will openly discuss it, there is no room for concession.”
The opera actor call out: “Elder brother, they killed 5th brother, quickly take revenge for 5th brother.” The expression of the person turned grave, he shouted: “Preposterous! 5th brother is the ‘Enemy of King of Hell’, what can the King of Hell do against him?” XuanNan said: “Divine Physician Xue faked his own death, there is only poison in the coffin, there is no corpse.” The elderly man and the rest of his brothers were elated, all of them ask in quick succession:
“Why did 5th brother fake his death?”
“Where is his dead body?”
“He didn’t die, how can there be a dead body?”
Suddenly a soft voice floated from afar: “Xue MuHua, Xue MuHua, your martial uncle is arriving, quickly come out and welcome him.” the voice seems to be breaking yet continuing, the distance is very far, but the voice is clear and distinct, obviously it transmitted by someone with very profound internal energy, its really no small matter.
The opera actor, bookworm, carpenter and the rest all cry out in alarm. The elderly man with the zither call out: “Catastrophe is coming, catastrophe is coming!” he kept looking in all directions, his expression extremely frighten, he said: “There is no time to escape, quick, quick, everyone hide in the house.”
Bao BuTong said loudly: “What catastrophe is coming? Is the sky falling down?” the elderly man said in a trembling voice: “Quick, quick, go in the house quickly! Its better to have the sky falling down, this ……” Bao BuTong said: “Senior please make yourself at home, but i don’t want to go in.”
The elderly man suddenly extended his hand, he caught hold of Bao BuTong’s chest acupoints. This move is extremely quick, Bao BuTong could not guard against it at all, his already subdued, his body was lifted up and was quickly carried into the house.
XuanNan and GongYe Gan were astonished, as they were about to speak the chessboard wielding person whispered: “Great master and everyone please go into the house quickly, an extremely powerful devil is coming soon.” XuanNan possess divine skills, he rarely meet any match in the martial arts fraternity, he is not afraid of any big or small devil, he ask: “Which big devil? Qiao Feng?” the person shook his head and said: “No, no, someone even more vicious than Qiao Feng. It’s Old Freak of XingXiu.” XuanNan said: “If it’s the Old Freak of XingXiu then it couldn’t be much better, old monk is looking for him.” The person said: “Great master, you martial art is strong, naturally you are not afraid. But everyone here will be tortured till death by him and you will the only one left alive, you are really merciful.”
His words are sarcastic and meant to ridicule, but it was also accurate and true, XuanNan was temporarily stumped, he finally said: “Good, everyone let us go in the house!”
At this moment, the zither elderly man had hidden Bao BuTong and came rushing out of the house, he kept urging: “Quick, quick! Still waiting for what?” Feng BoE question him loudly: “Where is my 3rd brother?” the elderly man flip his left hand and send his palm horizontally towards Feng BoE right cheek. The frost poison in Feng BoE had already flare up, its really hard to bear, when he saw the palm coming he quickly lower his head to avoid it. Unexpectedly, the elderly man did not fully execute his palm move, suddenly he diverted his energy downwards and he caught Feng BoE’s nape, he said: “Quick, quick, go in quickly!” he lifted Feng BoE like a chicken and carried him into the house.
GongYe Gan saw the elderly man did not have any evil intentions, but both his sworn brothers were subdued by him with a single move, he shouted loudly and was about to fight with him, but the elderly man move like the wind, he already rush into the house. The bookworm carried the opera actor, the carpenter supported the pretty woman and all of them quickly rush into the house.
XuanNan felt today’s affair is really strange and weird, he did not want to be reckless to avoid causing more confusion, he said: “Benefactor GongYe, let us just go in first and then take our time to decide what to do.”
Immediately, Xu Zhu and HuiFang lifted the corpse of XuanTong, GongYe Gan carried Deng BaiChuan and all of them entered the house.
The zither old man came out to urge them, but he saw everyone had entered the house, he quickly shut the front door, he went to fetch the door latch. The chessboard wielding person said: “Elder brother, it best if we left this door wide open, this move is called solid yet empty, empty yet solid. This way, he won’t dare to enter the house without careful consideration.” The elderly man said: “What? Fine, i will listen to you. This……will this work?” he did not have any self-confidence at all while speaking.
XuanNan and GongYe Gan gave each other a glance, both of them had the same thought: “This old man has superior martial arts, how can he be so flustered when dealing with important matters? This door, it can’t even hold back common robbers, how can it stop the Old Freak of XingXiu, what difference does it make if the door is open or close? It seems this person suffered great loss against the Old Freak of XingXiu, he became like a bird startled by a bowshot, his terror-stricken once he knows the Old Freak of XingXiu is nearby.”
The elderly man said repeatedly: “6th brother, think of an idea, quickly think of an idea.”
Although XuanNan possess considerable self-restraint, he was riled up by the fearful manner of the old man, he said: “Sir, there is a common saying ‘counter soldiers with arms, water with earth’, adopt measures appropriate to the situation. No matter how vicious this Old Freak of XingXiu is, we will join hands and fight him together, we might not lose, there’s no need to be so….so….hei….so cautious and timid.” The candles in the hall had been lighted, he glimpse his surroundings, the elderly man is terrified, the chessboard wielding man, the bookworm, carpenter, judge-pen wielding scholar, all of them wearing fearful expression. XuanNan personally witness the martial arts of these people, they aren’t weak, they are wild and unrestrained, they appear to be elegant and unconventional warriors, but now they turn into children and useless cowards, it’s really inconceivable.
GongYe Gan saw Bao BuTong and Feng BoE are fine, both of them sitting on a chair, but their frost poison had flare up and they shivered constantly, he supported Deng BaiChuan to a chair and made him sit down, fortunately Deng BaiChuan’s pulse is even, his only in some sort of drunken state and he carried on sleeping, his life is not in any danger.
Everyone look at each other in dismay, after a short period of time, the axe-wielding carpenter took out a set square from his bosom, he measured the corners of the hall and shakes his head, he picked up a candlestick and walk to the rear hall. Everyone followed him, they saw him measuring the four corners, suddenly he leap up onto the beam and started measuring it, he shakes his head again and walk to the rear, stopping in front of Divine Physician Xue’s fake coffin, he look at the coffin a few times, shakes his head and said: “What a pity, what a pity!” the zither elderly man said: “Its useless?” the carpenter said: “It won’t work, martial uncle will definitely see through it.” the zither man said in anger: “You…..you still call him martial uncle?” the carpenter shakes his head and did not reply, he continued walking to the rear.
GongYe Gan thought: “This person seems to only know how to shake his head, he doesn’t do anything else.”
The carpenter measured the corners of the wall, he counted his footsteps and made some calculation with his fingers, it seems as if his trying to build a house, he kept counting his steps and walk to the rear garden. He held onto the candlestick and pondered for quite some time, the corridor of the garden had five stone mortars, he grasps a few dried husks and soil and put them in the mortar, he lifted the large stone pestle by the side and started pounding the mortar, ‘Peng Peng’, the stone is dense and is forceful as it landed on the mortar.
GongYe Gan gave a sigh and thought: “We are really down on luck, meeting these bunch of lunatics, he still has the mood to pound grains in this kind of dire situation. It’s still acceptable if his really pounding grains, but the mortar contains grain husk and soil, alas!” Bao BuTong and Feng BoE are resting in the hall due to their frost poison, but after a while, they also rush to the rear garden.
‘Peng’, ‘Peng’, ‘Peng’,‘Peng’, ‘Peng’, ‘Peng’! The pounding sound uninterrupted.
Bao BuTong said: “Buddy, you are pounding the grains for cooking? But you aren’t pounding grains. I suggest we better plow the field and plant corn seeds, when they grow…..” suddenly the southeast corner of the garden, around 7-8 zhang away, gave a squeaking sound. The sound is soft but rather unique, XuanNan, GongYe Gan and the rest look towards the direction of the sound, they saw four dwarf cassia tree.
‘Peng’, ‘Peng’, the carpenter kept on pounding, but the strange thing was that the 2nd cassia tree from right started shaking, little by little it move. After a while, everyone understood, when the carpenter pound the mortar, the cassia tree will move around an inch. The zither man cheered and rush towards the cassia tree, he said in a low voice: “Not bad, not bad!” everyone followed him and ran over. The cassia tree had move aside, revealing a big stone slab, an iron ring is attached to the slab.
GongYe Gan was impressed and he felt ashamed, he said: “This secret underground mechanism is ingeniously arranged, it’s really fantastic. My dear friend, you discovered it within such a short time, you are really intelligent and wise, no less inferior than the creator of the mechanism.” Bao BuTong said: “Not true, not true, how you know this mechanism isn’t created by him?” GongYe Gan said: “I said his ability and wisdom isn’t inferior to the creator, if he is the creator, then his ability and wisdom is naturally not inferior to himself.” Bao BuTong said: “Not true, not true. His not inferior, but maybe he is superior. But how can his ability and wisdom be superior to himself?”
The carpenter pounded another ten times, the big stone slab is completely exposed. The zither elderly man grip the iron ring and pulled it, but it did not move an inch, as he was about to channel his internal energy and give it another pull, the carpenter cry out in fear: “Elder brother, stop!” he jump up and put the stone pestle on another mortar, he pulled down his pants and started urinating, he shouted: “Everyone, quickly come over, let us urinate together!” The elderly man was started and quickly put down the iron ring, in a split second, the chessboard wielding man, bookworm, judge-pen wielding scholar, all of them went over and started urinating into the mortar.
GongYe Gan saw these five people urinate like mad, it was really funny and he could not refrain from laughing, but instantly, everyone caught a whiff of gunpowder. The carpenter said: “Enough, the danger is over!” the zither elderly man had a lot of urine, he kept on urinating non-stop, he mumbled to himself: “Damn it, damn it, i mess up another mechanism. 6th brother, luckily you spotted it quick, else everyone would have been blown into meat pastes.”
GongYe Gan trembled with fear, he became aware that he had just came back from the gates of hell, obviously a flint is linked to the iron ring, when the ring is pulled, the fuse is lighted and it advance to the hidden explosive, fortunately the carpenter is extremely vigilant, everyone urinated and they managed to wet the fuse and thus averted a big disaster.
The carpenter walk to the 1st stone mortar to the right, he exerted his strength and turn the mortar three times to the right, he raise his head towards the sky and recited something, after a long time, he turn the mortar six and a half times to the left. Suddenly, they heard another small squeaking sound, the big stone slab move aside, revealing a hole. This time the zither elder dare not rush in, he wave his hands at the carpenter and signalled him to lead the way. The carpenter knelt down on the floor, he look carefully at the 1st mortar to the left.
Suddenly they heard someone cursed from underground: “Old Freak of XingXiu, you evil bastard! Very good, very good! You finally found me, your brilliant! You committed all sorts of crime, retribution will eventually come. Come, come! Come in and kill me!”
The bookworm, carpenter, opera actor and the rest all cheered in unison: “5th brother is alive!” the zither elder said loudly: “5th brother, we all arrive.” the voice from underground was silent for a moment then it shouted: “It’s really elder brother?” the tone was joyous.
There was a laughing sound and someone came out of the hole, it is the ‘Enemy of King of Hell’, Divine Physician Xue.
Unexpectedly, other than the zither elder and the rest of his sworn brothers, there’s also quite a few strangers, he cannot help but stare blankly, he said to XuanNan: “Great master, you came out of your temple, these few people are your friends?”
XuanNan hesitated and then said: “Yes, they are all friends.” Originally, Shaolin had maintained that Master XuanBei was killed by Gusu Murong family, they considered Murong family as their nemesis. This time, he came together with Deng BaiChuan to seek medical treatment, along the way Deng BaiChuan and GongYe Gan insist that Master XuanBei was not killed by their young master Murong, XuanNan was around 70-80% convinced, in addition they braved dangers together and collaborated towards a common goal, he finally treated them as friends. When GongYe Gan heard his words, he turn and nod towards him.
Divine Physician Xue said: “Since we are all friends then it couldn’t be much better, everyone please go underground, Master XuanNan please lead the way.” Although he said those words, he still rush ahead and lead the way. The underground cellar is pitch-black, its a very dangerous place to be in, the martial arts fraternity is full of deadly secrets and traps, no one trust each other, thus to show respect for visitors he has to personally lead the way and enter first.
As Divine Physician Xue entered the hole, XuanNan followed him and entered as well, everyone supported the injured and followed soon after, they even carried the corpse of XuanTong in. Divine Physician Xue operated a motor and the big stone slab move and covered the hole, he operated the motor again and everyone heard a faint squeaking sound, the cassia tree move back to its original position and covered the stone slab.
The interior is a stretch of stone steps, everyone has to stoop down to travel, after travelling for a while, the ceiling gradually got higher, they reached a natural tunnel. They travelled for around 10 zhang and arrive at a spacious cavern. Over 20 people are seated by the corner beside a torch, the people consist of male, female, young and old. When these people heard footsteps, they turn their head and look at them.
Divine Physician Xue said: “These people are my family members, the current situation is urgent, i won’t ask them to come over and pay their respects, please forgive my lack of manners. Big brother, 2nd brother, how did your come here?” he did not wait for their reply and immediately start examining everyone’s injuries. He examined XuanTong first, Divine Physician Xue said: “This great master achieved enlightenment and pass away, it gratifying and joyous.” He examined Deng BaiChuan, smiled and said: “My 7th sister’s flower pollen will only make you drunk and intoxicated, there is no poison, he will wake up after a while.” The middle-age woman and opera actor suffered external injuries, although the injuries are not light but its a small matter for Divine Physician Xue. He took Bao BuTong and Feng BoE pulse, closed his eyes and pondered deeply.
After a long time, Divine Physician Xue shakes his head and said: “Strange, strange! Who injured these two people?” GongYe Gan said: “It’s a weird looking youngster.” Divine Physician Xue shakes his head and said: “Youngster? This person’s martial arts possess both extremes of good and evil, his internal energy is extremely profound, it has a least 30 years of cultivation, how can he be a youngster?” XuanNan said: “It certainly is a youngster, but his palm strength is deep and profound, my martial brother XuanTong clash palms with him and also suffered this frost poison. His the disciple of Old Freak of XingXiu.”
Divine Physician Xue was startled: “Even the disciple of Old Freak of XingXiu is this powerful? Amazing, amazing!” he shakes his head and said: “Regrettable, regrettable, the frost poison of these two senior brothers, i am really powerless against it. From now on, i don’t dare to be known as ‘Divine Physician’.”
Suddenly a bright resonant voice said: “Since this is the assessment of Divine Physician Xue, we will take our leave immediately.” The voice came from Deng BaiChuan, he finally woke up after being intoxicated by the flower pollen, he heard Divine Physician Xue’s diagnosis. Bao BuTong said: “That’s right, that’s right! Hide underground for what? Life and death is fated, how can we imitate tortoise and mole and hide in underground cavern?”
Divine Physician Xue laugh grimly: “You are extremely boastful! Do you know who is waiting outside?” Feng BoE said: “You all are scared of Old Freak of XingXiu, but i am not afraid. You all have superior martial arts but its all in vain, you people get scared out of your wits when you hear the name of Old Freak of XingXiu.” The zither elder said: “You are no match for me. Old Freak of XingXiu is my martial uncle, you tell me whether his powerful or not?”
XuanNan change the subject and said: “Old monk has things he don’t understand, i wish to seek clarification.” Divine Physician Xue said: “The eight of us are fellow apprentice, we are known as ‘Eight Friends of HanGu’.”
He pointed at the zither elder and said: “This is our elder brother, i am number five. The rest of the matters are really complicated and not easy to explain, moreover, it useless to tell outsiders…..”
Before he could finish, everyone suddenly heard a thin and soft voice calling: “Xue MuHua, why aren’t you coming out to see me?”
The voice is thin yet balanced, it seems to be faint and indistinct but everyone in the tunnel heard it clearly, the voice is like a long string, penetrating 10 zhang through the ground and followed the complicated winding tunnel before entering the ear.
The zither elder was so surprised that he leap up, he said in a trembling voice: “Old….Old Freak of XingXiu!” Feng BoE said loudly: “Big brother, 2nd brother, 3rd brother, let us all go out and fight to the death with him.” The zither elder said: “No you cannot do that, you must never do that. It doesn’t matter if you go out and die a foolish death! But you will reveal this hiding place and the lives of all the people here will be sacrificed by your stupid bravery.” Bao BuTong said: “His voice can penetrate this underground cave, won’t he know we are hiding here? Even if you become a tortoise he will still force you out, you cannot hope to avoid him.” The judge-pen scholar and the bookworm said: “He won’t be able to enter this place for a while, everyone let us think of a good strategy to deal with him.”
The carpenter kept silent throughout, at this moment he interrupted: “Although martial uncle Ding is highly skilled, but he will require at least four hours to break through this underground mechanism. He will need another four hours to think of a strategy to attack into this cave.” The zither elder said: “Excellent! We have eight hours, we can consider carefully and take our time, correct?” the carpenter said: “Nine hours.” The zither elder said: “Where did the extra one hour come from?” the carpenter said: “Within this eight hours i can arrange another three mechanism, it can delay him for another hour.”
The zither elder said: “Very good! Great master XuanNan, when that big devil comes in at the scheduled time, we eight fellow apprentices will most probably not be able to escape his evil clutches. All of you are outsiders. The big devil will focus his attention on us martial nephews, all of you should be able to escape. You should not try to be a hero and fight to the death with him. Being able to escape the Old Freak of XingXiu is already considered to be a very heroic action.”
Bao BuTong said: “Your farting, farting!” everyone started sniffing but they did not detect any stench, they gaze questioningly at Bao BuTong. Bao BuTong pointed at the zither elder and said: “This person is bullshitting, its stinks so bad.” Previously he was subdued by the zither elder in a single move, he felt resentment in his heart, although his frost poison had flare up at that time and he did not have any strength to resist, but he was well aware that his martial art is greatly inferior to his, the stronger his opponent, the more he wanted to curse.
The chessboard wielding man gave him one glance and said: “You can’t even escape from my senior martial brother’s palm, my martial uncle’s martial art is 10 times better than his, now you tell me who is the one bullshitting here?” Bao BuTong said: “Not true, not true! Superior martial art is not related to bullshitting. If your martial art is high, you can’t bullshit? If you don’t bullshit, your martial art is high? Confucius doesn’t know martial arts, maybe he specializes in bulllshitting………”
Deng BaiChuan pondered: “The words of these people aren’t unreasonable, 3rd brother is just debating and joking around with them, we should not waste the time we have here.” He interrupted: “Everyone, i did not know your origin and this led to numerous misunderstandings, i even accidentally injure this lady, i feel terribly apologetic. Since we met a common enemy today, we are one big family. Later when this powerful enemy comes in, although the subordinates of young master Murong are unworthy, we will never run away, if we can’t resist him then we will simply just die together.”
XuanNan said: “HuiFang, Xu Zhu, later on if both of you see the opportunity, you must try to escape and return back to Shaolin Temple to report this matter to the abbot. In the event that everyone is eliminated by that devil at least we can get crucial information delivered.” 6 Shaolin monks said in unison: “We respectfully obey your orders.” Xue MuHua and Deng BaiChuan heard the speech by XuanNan, they knew his mind is set and everyone will live or die together, even though they now have another strong helper against the Old Freak of XingXiu they still did not feel confident in winning.
The zither elder was expressionless throughout, suddenly he clap his hand and laugh: “Everyone is going to die today. Even if martial brother XuanKu did not die, he will not get the chance to hear my wonderful song, ‘Humming of A Reed’, why do i need to feel sad for his death? Alas! Alas! Someone told me that i, Kang GuangLing is a big idiot, i always refuse to accept. But now, it seems even if i am not a big idiot, i am still a small idiot.”
Bao BuTong said: “You really are a genuine big idiot, big stupid fool!” the zither elder Kang GuangLing said: “I don’t think i am more foolish than you!” Bao BuTong said: “You are ten times more foolish than me!” Kang GuangLing said: “You are hundred times more foolish than me!” Bao BuTong said: “You are thousand times more foolish than me!” Kang GuangLing said: “You are ten thousand times more foolish than me!” Bao BuTong said: “You are hundred thousand times more foolish than me, a million times, ten million times!”
Xue MuHua said: “You two are about the same, both of you are equally foolish. All the masters from Shaolin, when you safely return back to your temple your abbot will definitely ask about the cause and effect of this matter, i am afraid you won’t be able to answer. This matter is a shameful incident in my sect, it’s not related to outsiders. But to eliminate this scourge from the martial arts fraternity, we need the help of senior monks from Shaolin. Thus, i will now narrate in details the entire matter, but after hearing it please only report back to your abbot, do not leak or divulge it to another person.”
HuiFang, Xu Zhu and the rest of the monks said in unison: “The words of Divine Physician Xue, junior monk will only report it to our abbot, we will never leak half a word to other people.”
Xue MuHua said to Kang GuangLing: “Senior martial brother, i will now narrate the intermediate details of this affair.”
Although Kang GuangLing is the most senior apprentice among the eight of them and his martial arts greatly exceeds his peers, but his personality is very childish and naive. Xue MuHua is only trying to preserve Kang GuangLing’s status and prestige by asking him for permission in front of outsiders. Kang GuangLing said: “This is so strange, your mouth is your own, just say it if you like, why the need to ask me for permission?”
Xue MuHua said: “Great Master XuanNan, Master Deng, our master is known as Mr Intelligent…..”
XuanNan, Deng BaiChuan and the rest were all startled, they said in unison: “What? Mr Intelligent is the Deaf Mute Old Man, this person is born deaf and mute, he adopted a nickname and called himself Mr Intelligent. All his disciples and followers had their eardrums pierced and their tongue cut off, this fact is known by everyone. But Kang GuangLing and the rest of you are perfectly normal, this is extremely strange.”
Xue MuHua said: “My master’s disciples and followers are deaf and mute, but this is only for the past 10 years. My master is not deaf, and he is certainly not mute, he was agitated by his younger martial brother the Old Freak of XingXiu Ding ChunQiu and became deaf and mute.” XuanNan and the rest gave an ‘Oh’ sound. Xue MuHua continued: “My Grand-Master took in two disciples, the senior disciple is surname Su, named XingHe, naturally his our Master, the second disciple is Ding ChunQiu. Their martial arts were originally on par with each other, but eventually, one of them became slightly better……”
Bao BuTong interrupted: “Haha, say no further, your martial uncle Ding ChunQiu must have surpassed your Master.” Xue MuHua said: “You can’t say that, my Grand-Master is a celestial being of knowledge, his skills all encompassing……” Bao BuTong said: “Not necessarily, not necessarily.” Xue MuHua knew Bao BuTong like to argue for the sake of arguing, he ignored him and continued: “Originally, my Master and Ding ChuanQiu both focus solely on martial arts, but afterwards, my Master’s attention was divided, he learnt music and zither from my Grand-Master…..”
Bao BuTong pointed at Kang GuanLing and said: “Haha, your stupid zither skills must have been acquired from your Master.”
Kang GuangLing glared at him and said: “Obviously my skills came from my Master, don’ tell me it came from you?”
Xue MuHua said: “It’s not much of a hindrance if my Master only learnt zither skills, but my Grand-Master’s knowledge is simply too vast, zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, divination and astrology, arts and crafts, finance and commerce, plants and pottery, he knows everything, he mastered all of them. Originally, my Master only learnt zither skills, but soon after he started to learn chess, and then calligraphy, and then painting. Everyone please think for a moment, all these skills require pain-staking effort and time, initially Ding ChunQiu pretended to be interested and tried to learn all these skills, but after 10-15 days, he claims his aptitude is low and his too stupid, it’s difficult for him to learn, thus he focus solely on martial arts. After 8-10 years, their martial arts were at different levels.”
XuanNan nod his head repeatedly, he said: “Learning zither or chess alone would require half a lifetime of effort and energy, although Mr Intelligent is smart and talented, it’s difficult for him to undertake such tasks. Ding ChunQiu gave his undivided attention to martial arts, its not surprising that his martial arts would eventually surpass his senior martial brother.”
Kang GuangLing said: “5th brother, there is something even more important, why aren’t you telling them? Quickly tell them.”
Xue MuHua said: “Ding ChunQiu focus solely on martial arts, it should be a good thing, but…..but….sigh…..if i narrate this matter, it would be really shameful for our sect. Ding ChunQiu took advantage of the fact that his younger than Grand-Master by 20-30 years, his also handsome and elegant, unexpectedly he seduced Grand-Master’s lover. This matter really disgraced my Grand-Master, we were sympathetic and didn’t say anything, we pretended to be deaf and mute. To cut the long story short, Ding ChunQiu used various despicable tricks, he also mastered some extremely evil skills, Grand-Master tried to kill him in his fit of rage but Ding ChunQiu made the first move and managed to inflict serious injuries on my Grand-Master. Luckily, my Grand-Master possess peerless skills, although he was backstabbed, he managed to resist until my Master arrive to save him. My Master’s martial arts were no match against that evil traitor, after a fierce battle my Master was injured and Grand-Master fell into deep ravine, his whereabouts unknown. My Master neglected his martial arts as he learnt various miscellaneous skills, but these miscellaneous skills were not completely useless. In the midst of da
