themum Sword arrive, at once he lifted his hand and grab, he caught a handful, suddenly he saw 8 people appearing from the mountain, they are ‘Zither Craze’ Kang GuangLing, ‘Chess Devil’ Fan BaiLing, ‘Bookworm’ Gou Du, ‘Painting Fanatic’ Wu LingJun, ‘Divine Physician’ Xue Muhua, ‘Marvellous Craftsman’ Feng Asan, ‘Flower Zealot’ Shi QingFeng, ‘Opera Fan’ Li KuiLei, the “Eight Friends of Hangu”. The eight of them saw Xu Zhu and Ding ChunQiu exchange fists and kicks freely, fighting to their heart’s content, at once they cheered: “Martial uncle sect leader display his brilliant abilities today, quickly kill Ding ChunQiu, avenge our martial grandfather and master!”

Currently Chrysanthemum Sword is still shooting wine towards Xu Zhu, her martial art is mediocre, unexpectedly a small portion spray towards Ding ChunQiu. The Old Freak of XingXiu is engaged in a fierce battle with Xu Zhu, they fought for over an hour, however his opponent seems to have inexhaustible wonderful moves, his movement was restricted and he cannot utilize his arsenal of sorcery, unexpectedly a stream of wine arrive, he had a sudden inspiration, he brush his left sleeve, the wine dispersed and became rain of wine and splash towards Xu Zhu. Powerful internal energy is flowing across Xu Zhu’s entire body, tens of thousands wine droplet arrive, none of them hit his clothes as they were deflected by his internal energy, suddenly he heard two ‘Ah Ah’ cry, Chrysanthemum Sword turn over and collapsed. When Ding ChunQiu disperse the wine and turn it into droplets, every single drop contains deadly poison. Chrysanthemum Sword is standing nearby, the poison rain landed on her body and she collapsed immediately.

Duan Yu is standing by the side, he saw Wang YuYan grabbing onto Murong Fu’s sleeve, he felt very dull, he saw Chrysanthemum Sword being hit by the poison rain and collapsing, he knew she is the subordinate of his 2nd brother, thus he rush forward to carry Chrysanthemum Sword and retreat.

Xu Zhu is extremely concerned about Chrysanthemum Sword, he is frightened and worried but he don’t know how to save her, he heard Xue MuHua shout out: “Martial uncle, the poison is extremely violent, quickly subdue the old thief and force him to provide the antidote for treatment.” Xu Zhu shout out: “Correct!” he wave his right palm and attack Ding ChunQiu, he secretly channel his internal energy to his left palm and reverse the flow of his [Pure Energy of Northern Darkness], soon after the wine in his left palm turn into 7-8 pieces of cold ice, ‘Sou Sou Sou’ he smack his right palm 3 times.

Ding ChunQiu felt cold wind assault his body, he was startled: “The hard and yang internal energy of this little bald thief, how come it changed?” he hurriedly gathered strength to ward it off, suddenly he felt a slight cooling sensation on his “QuePen acupoint”, akin to being hit by snowflake, immediately after the “Tianshu acupoint” on his underbelly, “FuTu acupoint” on his thigh, “TianQuan acupoint” on his upper arm, he felt cooling sensation on these 3 region. Ding ChunQiu increase his palm force to resist, suddenly his “Tianzhu acupoint” on his nape, “Shendao acupoint” on his back, “Zhishi acupoint” on his lower back, he felt cooling sensation on these 3 region as well, Ding ChunQiu was greatly surprised: “No matter how yin frost his palm strength, it definitely cannot bend around and attack my back, moreover the cooling sensations are all on acupoints, i wonder what kind of strange sorcery that little bald thief is using? I have to be careful.” both of his sleeve brush outward, the sleeve concealing his leg, he kick violently at Xu Zhu.

Unexpectedly when his right leg kicked halfway his “Futu acupoint” and “Zhishi acupoint” became strangely itchy at the same time, he cannot help but cry out “Ayo!”. His right toe is already touching Xu Zhu’s monk robe but his two vital acupoints became itchy at the same time, his right leg involuntarily withdraw. After crying out “Ayo”, he cry out “Ayo” “Ayo” two more times.

Ding ChunQiu’s disciples praised loudly: “Divine Elder of XingXiu possess great magical power, he only need to wave his sleeve lightly and little girl will collapse under his might!”

“With just a single step he can make heaven fall and earth rend, with just a wave he can cover the moon and sun!”

“Divine Elder of XingXiu sway his sleeves, spreading the truth, all of you heretics, ox, ghost and snake spirits, each and everyone will die a tragic end!”

Their praise is intermixed with cries of “Ayo” “Ayo”, it is really not compatible. Disciples who are more alert and shrewd already shut their mouth in shock, however a huge majority still shout out and praise loudly.

In an instant Ding ChunQiu felt his, “Quepen”, “Tianshu”, “Futu”, “Tianquan”, “Tianzhu”, “Shendao”, “Zhishi”, seven acupoints became extremely itchy and unbearable, it is akin to having thousands and tens of thousands louse gnawing at the same time. The ice made from wine contains Xu Zhu’s internal energy, cold ice enter the body and dissolve immediately, however the internal energy remain inside the acupoints and meridian channels. Ding ChunQiu was confused, he grope his chest repeatedly and consumed 7-8 antidotes immediately, he circulate his internal energy 5-6 times, however the itch in his acupoints became even more serious. If it was other people they would have roll around on the floor long ago, however Ding ChunQiu possess astonishing divine skills, he persistently endure and persevere, he is staggering about, akin to being intoxicated by wine, his face turn red and white repeatedly, his pair of hands waving wildly, his behaviour terrifying. Since the seven life-death talisman was made from strong alcohol they are different from normal ice.

When the XingXiu disciples saw their master in such sorry state, each and every one of them quieten down, however some still shout out stubbornly: “Divine Elder of XingXiu is using his [Great Golden Immortal Dance Skill], little monk will soon see its ferocious power!”

“When Divine Elder of XingXiu shout ‘Ayo’, a fraction of little monk’s soul is frighten off!”

However this shouting is merely a stubborn attempt to maintain glamour, the shouting is not loud or clear at all.

Li KuiLei sing loudly: “Five blossom horse, thousand pound gold, bring them out to exchange for good wine, we will share thousand worries together. Haha, i am Li Bai! Eight immortals drinking wine, number one is Immortal of Poem Li Bai, number two is Divine Elder of XingXiu Ding ChunQiu!” the crowd saw Ding ChunQiu’s drunken state, he really cut a sorry figure, when they heard Li KuiLei’s speech all of them laugh out loudly.

After some time Ding ChunQiu finally cannot endure it anymore, he tug his beard randomly, strand by strand his beautiful beard fluttered off with the wind, immediately after he rip apart his clothes and reveal his snow white skin. He is already an old man, however his body is still strong like a youngster, he claw himself everywhere and blood start to gush out, he exert strength and tear forcefully and shout repeatedly: “I am dying of itch! I am dying of itch!” after a while his left knee bend down, his shouting became even more wretched.

Xu Zhu felt some regret: “Although this person deserves to be punished but unexpectedly his suffering is so severe. If i had known earlier i would have planted at most 1 or 2 life-death talisman.”

When the crowd saw this martial art expert with child-like countenance, white-hair, exuding immortal aura, unexpectedly he turn into a demon in an instant, his cry akin to wild beast, they cannot help but be overwhelmed with shock, even Li KuiLei was left speechless. However the grey-robed monk and blank-robed man still meditate quietly under the tree, as if they did not see or hear anything.

Abbot XuanCi said: “Excellent, excellent! Xu Zhu, remove the suffering for this shizu!” Xu Zhu replied: “Yes! I sincerely comply with abbot’s decree!” XuanJi said suddenly: “Wait! Martial brother abbot, Ding ChunQiu commit countless evil, senior brother XuanNan and XuanTong died by his hands, how can we let him off so lightly?” Kang GuangLing said: “Martial uncle sect leader, you are the leader of our sect, why the need to listen to an outsider? Our martial grandfather and my master, this great hatred, how can you not avenge them?”

Xu Zhu had no idea how to deal with the situation. Xue MuHua said: “Martial uncle, the priority now is to make him give the antidote.” Xu Zhu nod his head and said: “Correct. Lady Plum Sword, give him half a pill to suppress the itch.” Plum Sword replied: “Yes!” she withdraw a small green bottle from her bosom and took out a pea-size pill, however seeing Ding ChunQiu’s violent and crazy appearance, she don’t dare to go near.

Xu Zhu took the pill, he split it in half and said: “Mr Ding, open your mouth, i will feed you this pill to suppress the itch!” Ding ChunQiu open his mouth widely, Xu Zhu flick his finger lightly and deliver the pill into his throat. The pill cannot take effect immediately thus Ding ChunQiu still roll about on the floor, after a while the strange itch finally subside a little and he stood up.

Ding ChunQiu is still conscious and alert, he knew he cannot rebel or resist anymore, thus he did not wait for Xu Zhu’s instruction and took out an antidote and hand it over to Xue MuHua obediently, he said: “The red coloured is for external application, white coloured is for consumption!” he shout and cry out for quite a long time, thus his voice became hoarse and inaudible. Xue MuHua knew he don’t dare to stir up trouble anymore, thus he act accordingly and apply the antidote on Chrysanthemum Sword.

Plum Sword said brightly: “Old Freak of XingXiu, this half pill can stop the itch for 3 days. After 3 days the strange itch will flare up again, at that time whether our owner will bestow this miracle medicine will depend on how obedient you are.” Ding ChunQiu was trembling from head to toe, he remain silent.

At once several hundred XingXiu disciples rush forward and kneel down in front of Xu Zhu, they request earnestly: “Owner of Vulture Palace is a hero without equal, we humbly submit to you, our devotion unswerving, we will put in utmost effort for owner.”

“This gathering of martial artists, owner will surely become the leader. Owner only need to give the order, we will risk our lives and limbs to go through water and tread on fire!”

In an attempt to make themselves more devoted, many pointed at Ding ChunQiu and curse endlessly, he is a “candle light who dares to fight with the moon and sun”, he is “concealing wicked intentions, utterly sinister”. Some beseech Xu Zhu to execute Ding ChunQiu swiftly to rid the world of an evil person. Gongs and drums rang out, the crowd of disciples begin to sing: “Owner of Vulture Palace, virtue fitting heaven and earth, power shaking the entire world by force, he is without equal from then and now.” other than changing “Divine Elder of XingXiu” to “Owner of Vulture Palace”, the melody and lyrics are exactly the same as those used to praise Ding ChunQiu previously.

Although Xu Zhu is simple and unsophisticated, he cannot help but feel somewhat smug and elated when hearing the praise.

Orchid Sword said loudly: “You despicable vermin, those mushy tune used to praise Old Freak of XingXiu, shameless speech, how dare you use it to praise our owner? Extremely rude!” the XingXiu disciples immediately became terrified, some said: “Yes, yes! Lowly person will come up with a completely new version, guarantee to satisfy fairy sister.” some sing out loudly: “Four fairy sisters, beautify and elegant, their beauty surpass Xi Shi, transcend imperial consort.” after they kowtow to Xu Zhu, the XingXiu disciples voluntarily stood behind the Island-masters and Cave-masters, each of them extremely proud and smug, they disregard the crowd of heroes, Beggar Clan members and Shaolin monks.

XuanCi said: “Xu Zhu, you set up your own school, from now on your conduct have to be chivalrous and righteous, restrain and educate your disciples, don’t let them break the law or commit crimes, bringing disaster and harm to people. Remember to accumulate virtue, do more good deeds, whether you become a monk or not, it is still the same.” Xu Zhu choked with emotions and said: “Yes. Xu Zhu sincerely comply with abbot’s instruction.” XuanCi said: “I cannot abolish your expulsion, however you are exempted from the punishment of rods.”

Suddenly someone laugh loudly and said: “I thought Shaolin valued monastic discipline, enforce the law strictly, but it seems they also curry favour with those in power. Hei hei, owner of Vulture Palace, virtue fitting heaven and earth, power shaking the entire world by force, he is without equal from then and now.” the crowd turn towards the person, it is the Grand Tutor of Tubo Jiumozhi.

XuanCi change countenance and said: “Grand Tutor is righteous in your reproach, old monk admits his mistake. Martial brother XuanJi, arrange for the punishment rod.” XuanJi said: “Yes!” he turn around and said: “Serve the punishment rod!” he turn to Xu Zhu and said: “Xu Zhu, presently you are still a Shaolin disciple, lie down and receive the rod.” Xu Zhu bow and said: “Yes!” he kneel down and salute XuanCi and XuanJi and said: “Disciple Xu Zhu violated temple regulations, i respectfully accept abbot and head-monk of Discipline Courtyard’s rod punishment.”

XingXiu disciples suddenly made a huge din: “You Shaolin monks, how dare you touch old senior’s precious body?”

“If you touch a single strand of hair on old senior, we will fight till death with you. We will sacrifice our lives to protect old senior, die a glorious death.”

“We are loyal and devoted, our flesh and blood is dedicated to protecting our owner!”

Grandma Yu said loudly: “The phrase ‘our owner’, how dare you demons and ghosts use it? Quickly shut your dog mouth!” when the XingXiu disciples heard her shout they became silent immediately, they don’t even dare to breathe loudly.

The enforcement monks from Disciple Courtyard heard XuanJi shout: “Use the rod!” at once a monk remove Xu Zhu’s robe, revealing the skin on his back, the other monk lifted the “Abiding Disciple Rod”. Xu Zhu pondered: “I am receiving punishment from the rod because i did not abide by monastic disciple, for every rod i receive my sin will reduce by a fraction. If i use internal energy to resist, my body won’t experience any pain, then this rod will be wasted.”

Suddenly a sharp female voice shouted out: “Wait, wait! You….what is that on your back?”

The crowd look at Xu Zhu’s back, they saw 9 incense scar burnt neatly on his waist. Currently, the custom of burning incense on one’s head when taking the monk oath have yet to become popular. China’s Buddhism is subdivided into 8 school and 11 faction, there are also small group and minor sect, each of their custom and practice different from each other, quite a number of them advocate ascetic practice, disciples have to burn incense on their head or burn their fingers to show their determination to follow Buddha. Shaolin does not require disciples to burn incense on their head, however they also never forbid disciples from doing so. The incense scar on Xu Zhu’s back is as large as copper coin, evidently they were burnt during infancy, as his body grew up the scars also enlarged, currently the scar is not entirely circular in shape.

A middle-age woman suddenly rush out from the crowd, she is wearing cyan gown, 3 blood scars on her left and right cheek, its precisely one of the “Four Great Evils”, “No Evil Left Undone” Ye ErNiang. She pounce forward, her pair of hands pushing away the two enforcement monks, she grab Xu Zhu’s trousers, wanting to pull it off.

Xu Zhu stood up from shock, he float several chi backward and said: “You….what you doing?” Ye ErNiang is trembling from head to toe, she shout out: “My…..my son!” she spread both arms to embrace Xu Zhu. Xu Zhu dodge her advance and Ye ErNiang hug empty air. Everyone pondered: “This woman is mad?” Ye ErNiang try to hug Xu Zhu several times, however Xu Zhu dodge all her attempts skilfully.

Ye ErNiang act wildly and shout out: “My son, why don’t you recognize your mother?” Xu Zhu shiver with fear, akin to an electric shock, his voice trembled: “You….you are my mother?” Ye ErNiang said: “My son, after giving birth to you, i burnt 9 incense scar on your waist and both side of your buttocks. You have 9 incense scar on both side of your buttocks correct?”

Xu Zhu had a huge shock, indeed there are 9 incense scar on both side of his buttocks. It is there since childhood, he never inquire its origin, he is too shy to discuss it with others, sometimes when he see it while bathing he assume he is fated to follow Buddha, he is born with it naturally, thus his resolute devotion to Buddhist doctrine. When he heard Ye ErNiang’s speech, it is akin to hearing thunderbolt from midair, his voice trembled: “Yes, yes! There are 9 incense scar on both side of my buttocks, you…..mother….did you burn it on me?”

Ye ErNiang burst into tears and cry out: “Yes, yes! How will i know if i did not burn it on you? I….i finally found my son, my biological son!” while crying she stretch her hands to stroke Xu Zhu’s cheek.

Xu Zhu did not dodge, he allow her to embrace him. He have no father or mother, he thought he was an orphan adopted by Shaolin, the incense scar on his buttocks, only his most intimate companion at Shaolin is aware of it, unexpectedly Ye ErNiang is also aware of it, how can it be fake? For the first time in his life he finally get to experience warm motherly love, his tears overflowing, he cried: “Mother…mother, you are my mother!”

The whole affair turn out too abruptly, everyone felt greatly surprised, however seeing both of them hugging and sobbing together, their grief yet happiness, one of them showing deep affection towards her child, the other admire earnestly, quite a number of people felt deep sorrow.

Ye ErNiang said: “My child, you are 24 years old, for the past 24 years i think about you day and night, i was so angry that other people have a son, but my own son was stolen by some wretched thief. I….i stole other people’s son to carry them. But….other people’s son, how can they be better than my own son?”

Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea burst into loud laughter and said: “3rd sister! You always steal other people’s healthy and adorable child for your amusement, when you had enough fun you randomly deliver it to some other family, make it difficult for the parents to find their child, as it turns out your own son was stolen by someone else. Whenever Yue LaoEr ask you the reason you refuse to answer. Very good, fantastic! Little chap Xu Zhu, your mother is my sworn-sister, quickly come here and call me 2nd uncle Yue!” his generation ranking is higher than this owner of Vulture Palace who possess superior martial arts, his joy is no laughing matter when he thought of it. Yun ZhongHe shake his head and said: “Wrong, wrong! Xu ZhuZi is the elder brother of your master, you have to call him martial uncle. I am the sworn-brother of his mother, i am two generation higher than you, quickly call me martial granduncle!” Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea was stumped for words, he spit and cursed: “Damn your grandma, old man refuse to call!”

Ye ErNiang release Xu Zhu’s neck, she held onto his shoulder, looking left and right, her joy boundless, she turn her head towards XuanJi and said: “He is my son, i cannot permit you to hit him!” immediately after she said to Xu Zhu: “Which wretched swindler stole my son and cause us mother and son to separate for 24 years? Child, child, even if we have to travel till the ends of earth, we have to find this wretched swindler, hack him into thousand pieces, turn him into mincemeat, your mother cannot beat him, but my child possess outstanding martial arts, he can avenge his mother.”

All of a sudden, the black-robed man who has been sitting motionless under the tree stood up, he said unhurriedly: “Your son, he was stolen or snatch away by someone? The six blood scars on your face, where did they come from?”

Ye ErNiang’s expression turn grave, she shriek: “You….who are you? You…how did you know?” the black-robed man said: “Don’t tell me you cannot recognize me?” Ye ErNiang shriek even louder: “Ah! It is you, it is you!” she pounce forward and rush to a spot ten feet away, suddenly she stood still, her fingers flexing, gnashing her teeth with rage, her anger has reach the extreme but she don’t dare to move closer.

The black-robed man said: “Correct, i snatch your son, the 6 blood scar on your face, i scratch them.” Ye ErNiang shouted: “Why? Why did you snatch my son? I am a total stranger to you, i have no hatred or enmity with you. You….you….you really make me suffer. For the past 24 years, i suffer endless torment day and night, for what purpose? Why…..why?”

The black-robed man pointed at Xu Zhu and said: “Who is the child’s father?” Ye ErNiang’s entire body is shaking, she said: “He….he….i cannot say.” Xu Zhu is extremely agitated, he rush beside Ye ErNiang and said: “Mother, tell me, who is my father?” Ye ErNiang shake her head repeatedly and said: “I cannot say.”

The black-robed man said slowly: “Ye ErNiang, originally you are a proper lady, gentle and beautiful, virtuous, dignified and chaste. But when you were 18 years old, you was seduced by a reputable martial art expert, you lost your chastity to him and gave birth to this child, correct?” Ye ErNiang remain motionless, after a long time she finally nod her head and said: “Yes. But he did not seduce me, i am the one who seduce him.” the black-robed man said: “This man only care about his own reputation and future, he did not care about the plight of a young unwed mother of a child, how miserable her fate.” Ye ErNiang said: “No! He cared, he gave me a lot of gold and silver, he arrange and plan for my livelihood for the rest of my life.” the black-robed man said: “Then why did he let you drift around Jianghu in solitude?”

Ye ErNiang said: “I cannot marry him. How can he take me as his wife? He is a good person, he have always treated me well. I do not wish to implicate him. He….he is a good person.” from her speech, evidently she is still full of longing for this lover who abandoned her, the love and affection from olden days, they are not affected by her misery, they did not fade away with time at all.

Everyone pondered: “Ye ErNiang is a well known evil doer, however she is still deeply devoted to her lover. Who is this man?”

Duan Yu, Ruan XingZhu, Hua HeGen, Fan Hua, Ba TianShi, when they heard her mention her lascivious sin from past, they cannot help but glance furtively at Duan ZhengChun, evidently they thought the identity of Ye ErNiang’s lover, his temperament, his behaviour, his age, all of them similar to him. Someone recalled: “Previously the ‘Four Great Evils’ visit Dali, most likely they are searching for Prince ZhenNan to settle this debt.” Even Duan ZhengChun himself was suspicious: “I met quite a number of ladies, don’t tell me she is included as well? How come i don’t recall at all? If i implicated her, even if i lose all my reputation in front of the heroes, i definitely cannot treat her unfairly. But….but….how come i cannot remember anything at all?”

The black-robed man said brightly: “The child’s father is right here, why don’t you point him out?” Ye ErNiang was startled, she said: “No, no! I cannot say.” the black-robed man said: “Why did you burn a total of 27 incense scar on your child’s waist and buttocks?” Ye ErNiang covered her face and said: “I don’t know, i don’t know! I beg you, don’t ask me anymore.”

The black-robed man’s voice is still dull and flat, it seems as if he is unconcerned, he continued: “When your child was born, you want him to be a monk?” Ye ErNiang said: “No, no.” the black-robed man said: “Why, then why did you burn these incense scar on him?” Ye ErNiang said: “I don’t know, i don’t know!” the black-robed man said brightly: “You refuse to say, but i know. Because this child’s father is a Buddhist disciple, he is a reputable eminent monk.”

Ye ErNiang groan out, she can’t support herself anymore and fainted.

At once everyone made a huge clamour, base on Ye ErNiang’s reaction, it seems the black-robed man is correct, as it turns out her secret lover is a Buddhist monk, moreover he is a reputable eminent monk. Everyone whisper to one another, discussing the identity of the monk.

Xu Zhu help Ye ErNiang up and said: “Mother, mother, wake up!” after a long time, Ye ErNiang woke up and said softly: “Child, quickly help me down the mountain. This….this man is a devil, he….he knows everything. I don’t want to see him. This hatred….there is no need to avenge anymore.” Xu Zhu said: “Yes, mother, let us go now.”

The black-robed man said: “Wait, i have yet to finish. You don’t want revenge, but i want revenge. Ye ErNiang, why did i snatch your child, you know the reason? Because….because someone snatch away my child, my family ruined, husband and wife, father and son, we cannot reunite. I did it for revenge.”

Ye ErNiang said: “Someone snatch your child? You did it for revenge?”

The black-robed man said: “Correct, i snatch your child and put him inside Shaolin’s vegetable garden, let Shaolin monks raise him up, teach him martial arts. My own child, someone snatch him away, he was adopted and a Shaolin monk teach him martial arts. You want to see my true identity?” he did not wait for Ye ErNiang to reply and took off his face curtain.

The crowd cry out in alarm, his face is squarish with big ears, beard overgrown, his appearance extremely formidable, he is around 60 years of age.

Xiao Feng was pleasantly surprised, he rush forward and kneel down, his voice trembling: “You…you are my father…..”

The person laugh heartily and said: “Good child, good child, i am your father. We father and son have the same figure and appearance, anyone can tell straight away that i am your father.” he stretch out his hands and pull open his front jacket, revealing a tattooed wolf’s head, he raise his left hand and help Xiao Feng to stand up.

Xiao Feng pull open his front jacket as well, revealing a green tattooed wolf’s head, mouth wide open and bearing its fang. Both of them walk shoulder to shoulder, suddenly they look up to the sky simultaneously and whistled, the sound is like violent gale and anger cry, it transmit to a distant place, even the mountain valley echoed, when the crowd of heroes heard it they cannot help but shiver with fright. The ‘Eighteen riders from YanYun’ pull out their blade and cry out with them together, although there are only 20 people but they exude might and power, as if they are a magnificent army of thousands men and horses.

Xiao Feng retrieve a tarpaulin package from his bosom and open it, revealing a patched white cloth, he spread it out, it is an imprint of the writings on the stone wall given to him by monk ZhiGuang, the characters written on it are all Khitan text.

The bearded old man pointed at the last few words, he smile and said: “The final words of Xiao YuanShan, the final words of Xiao YuanShan! Haha, child, that day in my grieving state i jump off the cliff to commit suicide, who would have expect, my life did not come to an end, i fell onto a branch of a large tree, unexpectedly i survived. My desire to die already dissipate, a new desire for revenge arose. That day at YanMen Pass, the heroes from Central Plains did not bother to inquire the truth, they killed your mother who did not know any martial arts. Child, tell me, should we avenge this hatred!”

Xiao Feng said: “I cannot live under the same sky with the enemies of my parents!”

Xiao YuanShan said: “Those who killed your mother, more than half of them were killed by me at the scene. The former Chief of Beggar Clan Wang JianTong contracted an illness and died, he got off lightly. But the leading ‘Big culprit’, he is still healthy and alive till now. Child, tell me, what should we do?”

Xiao Feng said unhurriedly: “This person was deceived by a rumour, it was not his original intention. He already confess and repent. Moreover, father you are alive and well today, child is extremely hearten, let us just write off this hatred with one stroke.”

Xiao YuanShan gave a long sigh and shouted: “How can i write it off with one stroke!” his gaze electrifying, one by one he scan the face of the crowd of heroes.

When the crowd of heroes lock gaze with him they felt as if they are in danger, although they have absolutely no relations with the matter at YanMen Pass, but seeing Xiao YuanShan’s expression, nobody dare to move or even give out the slightest bit of sound for fear of inviting trouble.

Xiao YuanShan said: “Child, that day your mother and i carried you to visit your maternal grandmother, unexpectedly when we reach YanMen Pass, 10 martial art experts suddenly jump out and killed our entourage. Great Song haven deep hatred towards Khitan, it is not strange for them to kill each other, however these warriors have been waiting in ambush, obviously it was premeditated. Child, do you know the underlying reason?”

Xiao Feng said: “They obtained news and mistakenly believe that a Khitan warrior is coming to Shaolin to seize martial art manuals, after that he will return to Liao nation and prepare to invade Great Song, thus they carried out the ambush and killed my mother.”

Xiao YuanShan laugh bitterly and said: “Hei hei, hei hei! I did not have any intention to seize martial art manuals from Shaolin, they accuse me wrongly. Fine, fine! Xiao YuanShan will carry it through since it started, since they accuse me, i will simply do it for them to see. For the past 30 years, Xiao YuanShan has been hiding in Shaolin, i look through all their martial art manuals till hearts content. Senior monks from Shaolin, if you are capable you can come here and kill Xiao YuanS
