Chapter 3 – Seeking a master in Mount Zhongnan, Part 10
Guo Jing thought, “By now, you should believe that I am Guo Jing. One mustn’t overdo things; it wouldn’t look good for elder Qiu.” He saw that the Taoists were turning around quickly but he stood still and folded his arms in salute and said, “Taoist brothers, I have offended you many tis and apologize, please give way.”
The Taoist in the “Tian Quan” position was hot tempered, he saw that the opposition was highly skilled, knew the “Big Dipper Formation” and assud he had nothing but evil intent towards his sect. He clearly shouted, “Scoundrel, you’ve carefully studied our sect’s formation, your intent is ruthless. You’ve co to Mount Zhongnan to cause trouble, our Quanzhen sect regards all evil as our enemy, and we can’t wait around and do nothing.”
Guo Jing was startled, and asked, “How have we caused trouble?”
The “Tian Shu” Taoist added, “Judging from your kung fu, you do not belong with the dirty scoundrels. I can give you so advice; you better leave the mountain quickly.” His tone reflected his respect of Guo Jing’s skills.
Guo Jing said, “I have co from thousand of miles to the south up here to the north; I have a matter which I want to discuss with elder Qiu. If I can’t see the elder, then how can I leave?”
The “Tian Quan” Taoist said, “You persist on seeing elder Qiu, what do you want?”
Guo Jing said, “I am in the debt of elder Ma and elder Qiu. I haven’t seen them in ten years and long to see them. Apart from paying my respects, I also have another matter to request of them.”
The “Tian Quan” Taoists hate for the enemy increased when he heard this; his face changed colour as if he had sothing on say. In the world of Jianghu, the words debt and revenge are not looked upon lightly. Sotis when one has made enemies and they say they have co to pay their debts, in reality they have co for revenge. The Taoist said, “Twenty years ago I chopped off soone’s upper arm, the debts that I have to pay cannot be forgotten? Today I am going to receive what I am owed.”
A request in these cases seems to have evil intent, and after being beaten by soone stronger, they would normally reply, “We brothers are short of food and clothing, and want the old man to help, to spare us so money.”
But today, Quanzhen sect is facing enemies and the “Tian Quan” Taoist knew this. Guo Jing’s polite words were turned around and interpreted the other way by the Taoist, and he calmly said, “I’m afraid that my defeated teacher elder Yu Yang is also indebted to you.”
As Guo Jing heard this, he rembered the events years ago at King Zhao’s palace, Yuyang Zi Wang Chu wasn’t concerned about danger, and faced a number of enemies and helped to save his life, his debts to him were not trivial. He said, “So Taoist brother is under the teaching of elder Yuyang. Elder Wang has also been kind to , if he is at the palace, then that will be good.”
The seven Taoists were all disciples of elder Wang and after hearing this they extended their swords. The seven swords were all moving at the sa ti towards Guo Jing’s body. Guo Jing raised his eyebrows; the more respectful he was, the fiercer the enemy’s reaction, he didn’t know what the reasons were for this. It is a pity that Huang Rong was not here; if she was she could sort out the misunderstanding in the blink of an eye. He slanted his body and moved forwards, and stood in the “Northern Star Position”. In a clear voice he said, “I am Jiangnan’s Guo Jing, I have no evil intent on this sacred mountain, how can I make you believe ?”
The “Tian Quan” Taoist said, “You have already removed six swords from Quanzhen sect’s students, can you take our seven swords?” The Taoist in the “Tian Xuan” position had not said anything so far, he broke his silence and said, “Scoundrel, you have co here for the girl called Long, does that an you think its good for you to provoke our sect?”
Guo Jing said, “Who is this girl nad Long, I have never seen her before.”
The “Tian Xuan” Taoist laughed and said, “Of course you have not seen her. What man under heaven knows her? If you’ve got guts, loudly insult her and call her a little bitch.”
Guo Jing was startled, he didn’t know who this Long girl is so how can he, for no reason, slander her? He said, “Why should I insult her?”
Three or four Taoists said at the sa ti, “Why don’t you confess?”
The Taoists had accused Guo Jing innocently, the more he heard, the stranger it sounded. He thought that if he breaks into Chongyang Palace and sees elder Ma, elder Qiu and Wang Chu, everything would beco clear. He calmly said, “I must go up to the mountain, if everyone here tries to stop , don’t bla for offending you.”
The seven Taoists extended their swords, and leapt forward two steps. The “Tian Xuan” Taoist loudly said, “Don’t use your witchcraft, we will just use our kung fu to compete.”
Guo Jing smiled, he had already thought of sothing, and said, “I want to use so witchcraft. You watch, my hands will not touch your weapons, but I will still be able to take your long swords out of your hands.”
The seven Taoists all looked at each other; their faces had a look of disbelief, and thought, “Although your skills are high, can it be that without using your hands you can rid us of our weapons? Even if you’ve reached the peak of “Empty Hand Entering a Hundred Blades” kung fu, you still need your hands.”
The “Tian Shu” Taoist said, “Fine, we will see how good your kicking kung fu is.”
Guo Jing said, “I will also not use my legs. If I touch your weapons with my hands or legs, then I admit defeat. I will turn around and imdiately leave, never entering your sacred mountain again.”
The Taoists heard his wild claims, and they mulled over it. The”Tian Quan” Taoist waved his sword, and led the formation.
