Chapter 6 – The Yunü Heart Manual, Part 7
Zhen Zhibing said, “Yang Guo, you want to kill us but that will not be possible; but your Gu Gu can relax, if the one nad Zhen reveals a single word about what happened today, I will imdiately kill myself to apologize. If I don’t do this” as he said this, he suddenly leapt towards Yang Guo and took the sword in his left hand and said, “then I’ll be like these fingers!” He spread his left hand and cut down with his right, and cut the last two fingers off his hand.
Those few moves happened extrely quickly and Yang Guo wasn’t prepared. He stopped and knew that he was sincere and thought, “It is indeed difficult to kill them both; why don’t I first kill the one nad Zhao and then co back and kill him.”
He then shouted, “The one called Zhen, what use is cutting off your fingers? If you cut off your head, then I’ll believe you.”
Zhen Zhibing smiled and said, “If you want my life, all I need is a word from your Gu Gu, then why not?”
Yang Guo said, “Go!” He leapt forward two steps and suddenly thrust out behind him, straight at Zhao Zhijing’s chest.
The move “Orchid Shoots Back” (mu lan hui she) was extrely ruthless, Zhao Zhijing was listening to what they were saying and never thought that he would suddenly ambush him, he was frightened. The tip of the sword pierced his stomach. Zhao Zhijing felt a slight pain, and imdiately circulated his chi throughout his ‘dan tian’, and his stomach pulled back half an inch, he raised his right leg and kicked Yang Guo’s sword out of his hand. Yang Guo didn’t wait for his leg to co and down, and extended his finger and pointed at the pressure point on his knee. Although Zhao Zhijing had escaped with his life, he couldn’t stand up, his right knee kneeling down in front of Yang Guo.
Yang Guo caught the descending sword and pointed at Zhao Zhijing and said, “I once kowtowed eight tis to you as you were my master, now you are not my master anymore, give the eight kowtows back.”
Zhao Zhijing had completed circulating his chi, his face beca purple, almost becoming black. Yang Guo pressed the sword tip into his throat.
Zhao Zhijing shouted, “If you want to kill , kill , why are you talking so much?”
Yang Guo was about to thrust the sword forward when suddenly he heard Xiao Longnu say, “Guo’Er, killing your master is not auspicious, tell him to swear that he won’t reveal today’s events and let him go!” Yang Guo regarded Xiao Longnu’s commands above all else, and after hearing what she said, he said, “Swear it.”
Zhao Zhijing was angry, but his life was more important and said, “I won’t say anything, what need is there to swear it?”
Yang Guo said, “That won’t do. You must swear a venomous oath.”
Zhao Zhijing said, “Fine, today’s events will be kept between the four of us, if I reveal it to a fifth person, then let my na be in ruins, be expelled from my sect, everyone in Wulin will be against , and I’ll have a terrible death.”
Xiao Longnu and Yang Guo did not know much about the world’s matters and thought that he was really swearing a venomous oath.”
Zhen Zhibing heard that there was a hidden aning in his oath and wanted to warn Yang Guo but felt that it wasn’t right to help outsiders; he watched Yang Guo carrying Xiao Longnu, his steps extrely quick, and they disappeared around a bend in the mountain. His fingers hadn’t stopped bleeding; he stood up bemused without stopping it.
Yang Guo carried Xiao Longnu back to the tomb and placed her on the Chilled Jade Bed.
Xiao Longnu sighed and said, “I’m seriously injured, how can I oppose the Chilled Jade Bed?”
Yang Guo said ‘ah’ and was alard, he secretly thought, “So Gu Gu’s injury is very serious.” He then carried her to her room. When she first let Yang Guo sleep on the Chilled Jade Bed, she slept in the sa room as him; after about a year she moved into the next room. As soon as she arrived in her room, she spat out another pool of blood, and covered Yang Guo’s exposed body. Yang Guo was so frightened that he couldn’t move his arms and legs, and started to cry.
Xiao Longnu calmly laughed and said, “Now that I’ve spat out this blood, I won’t throw up anymore, what is there to be sad about?”
Yang Guo said, “Gu Gu, don’t die.”
Xiao Longnu said, “You are afraid of dying aren’t you?”
Yang Guo was startled and said, “?”
Xiao Longnu said, “Before I die, I will kill you first.”
These sa words were spoken two years ago, Yang Guo had forgotten them long ago, and didn’t expect that she would bring it up again now.
