Chapter 15 – Disciples of the Eastern Heretic, Part 7
Yang Guo was extrely touched by this, these two girls were filled with loyalty, yet in this danger they were both willing to risk their lives for him; even if I die at the hands of this witch, my life wouldn’t exactly have been lived for no purpose.
He then heard Lu Wushuang ask, “Sha Dan, say sothing, do you want my cousin to go with you or ?”
Before Yang Guo replied, Cheng Ying said, “Why do you keep on calling him Sha Dan this, Sha Dan that, are you not afraid of making brother Yang angry at all?”
Lu Wushuang stuck out her tongue, she laughed and said, “Look at how courteous and considerate you are to him; brother Sha would definitely want you to go with him.” Changing her greeting from ‘Sha Dan’ to ‘Brother Sha’ was her way of showing her sincerity.
Cheng Ying’s face was distinctly white and it was very easy to make her blush, so when Lu Wushuang said this, Cheng Ying’s face imdiately turned red as a rose. She gave a slight laugh and said, “He calls you ‘Wifey’, doesn’t he? How can the wife not go along with him?”
This ti it was Lu Wushuang’s turn to blush. She stretched out her hand and tried to tickle Cheng Ying; Cheng Ying turned around and leapt away. In a short while, the room felt as if a gentle relaxing breeze was blowing through the room, the three of them didn’t appear to be as worried and frightened as they were at the start.
Yang Guo thought, “If Miss Cheng escapes with , then Wifey’s life would be in danger. If Wifey goes with , then Miss Cheng would be in extre danger.” He said, “I am extrely touched by the way you two treat . I say that you two should escape and let handle the witch. My master and she are apprentice sisters; she would still have so respect towards that relationship. Not only that, she’s afraid of my master, she wouldn’t dare to do anything to …”
Before he finished, Lu Wushuang interrupted, “That won’t do…that won’t do.”
Yang Guo knew that the two would not abandon the other so he said clearly, “The three of us will escape together. If we do encounter that witch then we’ll fight for our lives; whether we live or die, let the heavens decide.”
Lu Wushuang clapped her hands and said, “Fine, let’s do that.”
Cheng Ying said grimly, “That witch cos and goes like the wind, if the three of us travel together, she will definitely catch up with us. We’re going to fight with her on the way so why don’t we remain here and wait for her to co when she’s exhausted.”
Yang Guo said, “That’s right. Sister knows how to use formations, she could even trap that monk Jinlun Fawang, the Scarlet Serpent Deity may not be able to break through it.”
Once he said this, the three’s eyes lit up softly.
Cheng Ying said, “That formation was set up by Mrs. Guo, I just added a few variations to it, I can never set sothing up like that. We’ll do our best and let fate decide. Cousin, co and help .”
Yang Guo thought, “When Auntie Guo taught the formation, I could only rember ten or so different types and it could only be used to lure the rusty Jinlun Fawang into the formation; it would have no use in blocking that heaven hating and world resenting Li Mochou. This type of art is extrely complicated; to be well versed in it requires at least one year’s worth of work. Miss Cheng is young so of course the things that she has learned cannot compare with Auntie Guo, she wasn’t trying to be modest. But no matter how simple and crude her formation is, it’s better than nothing.”
The two girls picked up an iron shovel and a hoe, they went outside and started to dig up earth and move stones as they started to set up the formation. They had worked urgently for two hours when the faint calls of cockerels could be heard from faraway. Cheng Ying’s head was covered with sweat as she looked at her efforts. She saw that her formation was miles apart from the rock formation that Huang Rong had set up; she was slightly depressed as she thought, “Mrs. Guo’s talents exceeds mine by a hundred tis over. It really would be extrely difficult to try to fend off the Scarlet Serpent Deity with such a coarse earth formation.” She was afraid that her cousin and Yang Guo would get depressed about it so she did not tell them her thoughts.
Under the moonlight, Lu Wushuang saw sothing was wrong with her cousin and knew that her cousin wasn’t completely confident. She took out a book from her pockets and returned to the hut and handed the book over to Yang Guo. She said, “Sha Dan, this is my master’s ‘Five Poison Codex’.”
Yang Guo shivered slightly at the sight of the blood covered book.
Lu Wushuang said, “I lied to her about the book falling into the Beggar Clan’s hands; if she catches she will definitely search and discover the book. Take a good look and once you’ve morized it, burn it.” She had never talked in a serious manner with Yang Guo before, but she had no interest in joking around in this ti of danger. Yang Guo saw her expression was bleak and just nodded and accepted the book.
Lu Wushuang also took out a handkerchief and quietly said to him, “If you’re unlucky and fall into the hands of that witch, when she wants to take your life give this handkerchief to her.”
Yang Guo saw that one side of the handkerchief looked that it was torn from sowhere, the embroidered red flower on the handkerchief was torn in half, he didn’t know what she ant by this and was startled, he did not take it and asked, “What is this?”
Lu Wushuang, “I’m asking you to give this to her, are you going to promise ?”
Yang Guo nodded and placed it by the side of the pillow. Lu Wushuang picked it up and put it in his pockets and whispered, “Don’t let my cousin know.” She suddenly slt the manly scent on him and rembered how he undressed her and helped her fix her broken rib in place on the Guanxia road. And how they slept on the sa bed; her heart stirred and she stared at him in a trance before turning around and leaving the room.
Yang Guo saw that her eyes were filled with boundless love, his heart raced. He opened the ‘Five Poison Codex’ and flipped through a few pages and rembered the antidote to the “Five Poison Palm” and the “Soul Freezing Silver Needles”. He thought, “These two antidotes are both extrely hard to create but if I don’t die today, these two antidotes will eventually have a use later.”
