Madame Hong hooked the hilt of the dagger along with her proper foot, the dagger shot swiftly again towards her throat. “Cautious!” Wei Xiaobao cried out in concern. Madame Hong shrank her physique down, the dagger shot handed the highest of her head towards the Cult Chief’s chest.

The gorgeous lady’s eyes swept from west to east, the smile didn’t vanish from her face. She slowly stated, “The Black Dragon Gate Zhangmenshi

[104], in the present day the deadline has arrived, please hand over the sutra.” Her voice was sharp, clear, and flirtatious; it was extraordinarily nice to the ears. She held out her left hand with palm going through up.

Trying from distant, Wei Xiaobao noticed that the palm seemed prefer it was carved from a chunk of white jade. Out of the blue a thought welled up from the underside of his coronary heart, “It will not be too unhealthy if this lady develop into my spouse. If she is doing enterprise on the Pretty Spring Courtyard, all Yangzhou’s patrons will rush forth to squeeze via the Pretty Spring Courtyard’s predominant gate.”

An outdated man on the left facet took two steps ahead, he bowed and stated, “Reporting to the Madame: Information from Beijing says that we’ve positioned 4 sutras, and we’re intensifying the hassle to acquire them. Following Jiaozhu’s treasured instructing, even when we’ve to lose our lives, we’ll get the books, to be offered to Jiaozhu and Madame.” His voice trembled barely, clearly he was utterly terrified.

“What a pity, what a pity,” Wei Xiaobao mused, “Seems this stunning lady is the Jiaozhu’s spouse, a contemporary flower inserted on a cow’s dung, a brilliant moonlight illuminating a latrine!”

The girl smiled barely and stated, “Jiaozhu has prolonged the deadline thrice, Black Dragon Envoy, you’ve got all the time pushed the deadline with all kinds of excuses three, 4 instances. If you’re unwilling to try, aren’t you being disloyal to Jiaozhu?”

The Black Dragon Envoy bowed even decrease; he stated, “Subordinate has acquired Jiaozhu and Madame’s nice kindness, even with torn physique and crushed bones it is going to be tough for me to repay. The actual fact is, this matter is extraordinarily thorny, subordinate has dispatched six folks into the Palace, and had Deng Bingchun and Liu Yan, two folks misplaced their lives for the Cult. I want for Jiaozhu and Madame to graciously prolong the deadline.”

Wei Xiaobao mused, “Seems that fats sow and the faux palace maid are your subordinates. I’m afraid the outdated wh0re’s rank can also be decrease than yours.”

The girl raised her left hand to beckon Wei Xiaobao. She laughed and stated, “Xiao Didi [little brother – term of endearment], come right here.”

Wei Xiaobao jumped in fright. “Me?” he stated in a low voice.

“That is proper,” the girl replied, “I’m calling you.”

Wei Xiaobao took a fast look towards Mr. Lu and Fats Toutuo on his facet. Mr. Lu stated, “Madame is looking you, go ahead and salute her respectfully.”

Wei Xiaobao stated in his coronary heart, “What’s going to occur if I don’t salute her respectfully?” However he stepped ahead anyway, after which respectfully bowed to salute her, saying, “Jiaozhu and Madame will get pleasure from immortal luck eternally, your lengthy life would be the identical because the heaven’s.”

Madame Hong laughed and stated, “This youngster is intelligent. Who taught you so as to add the ‘and Madame’ three characters [he fu ren] after the phrase Jiaozhu?”

Wei Xiaobao didn’t know that the cult members of the Divine Dragon Cult had all the time stated ‘Jiaozhu will get pleasure from immortal luck eternally, his lengthy life would be the identical because the heaven’s’. After they entered the Cult, they might all the time robotically recite these phrases; no one dared so as to add a personality or subtract half a sentence. Seeing not solely this Madame was very stunning, she was extraordinarily highly effective as nicely, Wei Xiaobao thought that since to flatter he didn’t want any capital, he thoughtlessly added the ‘and Madame’ three characters. Listening to her query, he merely stated, “Jiaozhu and Madame are companions, solely then will dwelling a life so long as the heaven’s be fascinating. In any other case, after 100 or 200 years, Madame returns to heaven, how may Jiaozhu not be extraordinarily lonely?”

As quickly as Madame Hong heard him, she laughed identical to a flowering department trembled randomly. Hong Jiaozhu couldn’t restrain his smile both, along with his hand twisting his lengthy beard, he nodded his head and smiled.

When the cult members of the Divine Dragon Cult, from high to backside, noticed their Cult Chief, nobody didn’t trembling in concern, who would dare to unguardedly converse nonsense like that? After they heard Wei Xiaobao earlier, all of them broke in chilly sweats on his behalf, however seeing Jiaozhu and Madame’s heat expressions, all of them felt relieved.

Madame Hong laughed and stated, “Was it your personal concept so as to add these three characters?”

“Precisely,” Wei Xiaobao replied, “It was not a faux. The curvy characters on the stone pill additionally point out Madame.”

As quickly as he stated these phrases, Mr. Lu felt as if he had simply fallen into an icehouse; he had spent numerous struggling simply to have Wei Xiaobao memorized the writings on the stone pill, and now he immediately had an unconventional concept so as to add Madame’s title into it, how may he account for the unequalled variety of characters? This urchin talked irresponsibly, inevitably he was messing up the inscribed textual content on the pill. He realized that his work had already contained a variety of flaws, with this new growth, would not his plot fall via and stand uncovered on the spot?

Listening to this, Madame Hong was additionally startled; she requested, “Did you say my title can also be engraved on the stone pill?”

“That is proper!” Wei Xiaobao stated. As quickly as he blurted out these two phrases ‘that is proper’, he instantly groaned inwardly, “It is unhealthy! If she needs me to recite the inscription, it will not have any reference to the Madame.”

Fortunately Madame Hong didn’t ask in any respect. “You might be surnamed Wei, and also you got here from Beijing, is that proper?” she requested.

“That is proper,” Wei Xiaobao stated the identical phrases once more.

“I heard from Fats Toutuo,” Madame Hong stated, “That in Beijing you met a fats woman by the title of Liu Yan, and she or he even taught you some martial artwork?”

Wei Xiaobao thought, “All the pieces I informed Fats Toutuo, apart from the sutra, he has reported to Jiaozhu and Madame, now I would higher stick with it to the top. In any occasion, that fats Liu Yan is useless, it’s known as ‘the useless can not testify’.” Thereupon he stated, “Precisely, this Auntie Liu is an efficient pal of my Shushu [younger paternal uncle]. Day or evening, she usually involves my home.”

With a delicate chuckle Madame Hong requested, “What’s she doing in your own home?”

“To speak and joke with my Shushu, after all,” Wei Xiaobao replied, “Generally they embrace and kiss one another, they thought I didn’t see them, however I secretly watched them.” He knew that the extra he was in a position to inform the story with dwelling spirit and dwelling picture, mentioning numerous minute and complex particulars, the extra folks would consider him.

Madame Hong laughed, “You, this youngster, is so sly. Individuals kissing, you might be peeping,” she stated. Turning to the Black Dragon Envoy she stated, “Did you hear? Do you suppose this youngster is mendacity?”

Wei Xiaobao adopted her gaze and noticed the Black Dragon Envoy’s countenance modified enormously, exhibiting his concern had reached its excessive level, his physique trembled, his knees bent, he kneeled on the ground and repeatedly knocked his head, whereas saying, “Subordinate … subordinate oversees my folks improperly, I should die ten thousand deaths, I urge Jiaozhu and Madame to open … open the web on one facet [i.e. be lenient], to let subordinate arrange some meritorious deed to atone for my crime.”

Wei Xiaobao was enormously shocked; he thought, “I used to be simply saying that that fats pig and my Shushu kissed, what does it need to do with this outdated fellow? Why does he need to be frightened like this?”

Madame Hong smiled and stated, “Arrange some meritorious deed to atone on your crime? What meritorious deed do you’ve got? I all the time thought that the folks you despatched have been loyal and devoted as they dealt with issues on behalf of Jiaozhu. Who would have thought that in Beijing they’re really doing these free and shady companies?”

The Black Dragon Envoy kowtowed many times, till his brow was bleeding profusely. Wei Xiaobao couldn’t bear to see him, he needed to say one thing good on his behalf, however in that second he couldn’t discover something to say.

The Black Dragon Envoy crawled on his knees ahead, he known as out, “Jiaozhu, I’ve adopted you, the Senior, from the cradle to the grave; though I do not need any meritorious service, I’ve labored exhausting for you.”

With a chilly chortle Madame Hong stated, “What’s using citing former issues? You might be already outdated, what number of extra years are you able to give in service to Jiaozhu? Would not it’s merrier if you happen to simply give up your Black Dragon Envoy place earlier?”

The Black Dragon Envoy raised his head to have a look at Hong Jiaozhu, with a sorrowful voice he stated, “Jiaozhu, you actually do not have in the least of outdated affection towards your outdated troop, your outdated Xiongdi?”

Hong Jiaozhu’s face stayed picket as he indifferently stated, “There are too many elderly rotten and muddled folks in our Cult, we must tidy up nicely.” His voice was deep and low, and considerably slurred. Ever since he noticed him, this was the primary time Wei Xiaobao had ever heard him talking.

Out of the blue a number of hundred teenage girls and boys shouted loudly, “With Jiaozhu’s treasured instructing all the time in our hearts, we will arrange meritorious deed and subdue the enemy, nothing is unachievable!”

The Black Dragon Envoy sighed. Nonetheless trembling, he stood up and stated, “Respiratory out stale air and inhaling contemporary, we, the outdated males, should die anyway.” Turning round, he stated, “Carry it right here!” From the corridor’s door, 4 youngsters in black garments went ahead in fast steps, every one carried a picket tray, on every tray there was a spherical brass lid. After they arrived in entrance of the Black Dragon Envoy, they set the picket trays on the ground, after which rapidly circled and withdrew. As if by prior settlement, everyone within the corridor drew again a number of steps.

The Black Dragon Envoy muttered, “With Jiaozhu’s treasured instructing all the time in our hearts, we will arrange meritorious deed and subdue the enemy, nothing is unachievable … hey hey, there’s one factor that’s unachievable, that’s the subordinate is just not loyal and devoted in any respect.” Reaching out, he grabbed the knob on the highest of the brass lid and lifted it up. The thing on the tray immediately flew up, adopted by a flash of white mild, a flying dagger flew in at an angle, reducing the thing into two sections, which then fell again onto the tray, wiggling and squirming. It was a gorgeous-looking multi-colored small snake.

Wei Xiaobao cried out in alarm. The folks within the corridor additionally cried out, “Who was it?” “Who’s rebelling towards our chief?” “Catch him!” “Who’s the traitor who has the audacity to disobey Jiaozhu?”

Madame Hong immediately stood up, made a circle with each arms, adopted by waving down thrice. A sequence of ‘Shua, shua, shua!’ was heard, the swords had left their scabbards, a number of hundred teenage girls and boys rushed ahead to encompass about fifty, sixty older members of the Cult. These a number of hundred youngsters, those carrying black have been grouped collectively, those carrying white have been grouped collectively, they didn’t mingled in any respect, everybody occupied his/her respective place, some have been in group of six or seven, some have been in group of eight or 9, every group surrounded one individual within the center. Their lengthy swords have been aimed toward important factors, the a number of dozen older folks have been instantly put below their management. Fats Toutuo and Mr. Lu have been additionally going through seven, eight swords every.

A fifty-something outdated Taoist priest with black beard laughed aloud and stated, “Madame, you educated this formation, what number of months have you ever spent? If you wish to take care of outdated Xiongdi, really you needn’t spend such vitality.”

Those that surrounded him have been eight teenage women carrying crimson garments. Two women raised their swords towards the pit of his abdomen. “Do not be impolite towards Jiaozhu and Madame,” they shouted.

The Taoist priest laughed and stated, “Madame, it was me, Priest Wugen [lit. without root], who killed that five-colored divine dragon. You need to punish, be at liberty to make your transfer, why implicate different folks?”

Madame Hong sat again down on her chair; she smiled and stated, “You admit it your self, nothing could possibly be higher than that. Daozhang [(Taoist) Priest], have not Jiaozhu handled you nicely? He entrusted you the Scarlet Dragon Gate Zhangmenshi place, which is just one rank decrease than the Jiaozhu himself, above ten thousand folks in seniority; why do you need to insurgent?”

Priest Wugen stated, “Subordinate is just not rebelling. Black Dragon Envoy Zhang Danyue has rendered nice service to our Cult, simply because there are some folks amongst his subordinates who didn’t deal with their affairs favorably, Madame needed to take his life. Subordinate boldly asks Jiaozhu and Madame to point out mercy.”

Madame Hong laughed and stated, “And if I don’t comply?”

Priest Wugen stated, “Though Shen Lengthy Jiao was based by Jiaozhu, a number of tens of hundreds xiongdi have gone via water and tread on fireplace along with him, everyone has his contribution. In these days, there have been a complete of 1 thousand twenty three outdated xiongdi, in the present day some have misplaced their lives within the arms of the enemy, some have been put to dying by Jiaozhu, and people who stay are lower than 100 folks. Subordinate asks Jiaozhu to point out mercy by sparing the lives of ours, a number of dozen outdated xiongdi, merely kick us all out of the Cult. If Jiaozhu and Madame discover us, these outdated folks, repulsive, and need to promote new folks, then simply ship us, the outdated folks, out of right here.”

With a chilly chortle Madame Hong stated, “Since Shen Lengthy Jiao was based, I’ve by no means heard anyone leaving the Cult alive. By saying that, Priest Wugen is imagining the wildest factor.”

“In that case,” Priest Wugen stated, “Madame doesn’t agree?”

“Excuse me,” Madame Hong stated, “However our Cult doesn’t have such rule.”

Priest Wugen laughed aloud and stated, “Seems Jiaozhu and Madame have decided to place us all to dying.”

Madame Hong smiled, “That is not essentially so,” she stated, “Previous people who find themselves loyal to Jiaozhu, naturally Jiaozhu nonetheless considers them good xiongdi, completely no discrimination right here. We don’t distinguish juniors from seniors, all we ask is whether or not they’re loyal and dedicated to Jiaozhu or not. Whoever is loyal to Jiaozhu, increase your hand.”

A number of hundred teenage girls and boys all raised their left arms, the senior members of the Cult who have been being surrounded additionally raised their arms, even Priest Wugen additionally raised his left hand. All people chorused, “To be loyal to Jiaozhu, completely no double-mind!”

Seeing everyone was elevating his hand, Wei Xiaobao additionally raised his hand. Madame Hong nodded and stated, “That is excellent, seems everyone is loyal to Jiaozhu, together with this newly arrived Xiao Didi, though he isn’t a member of our Cult, unexpectedly he’s additionally loyal to Jiaozhu.”

In his coronary heart Wei Xiaobao stated, “I’m loyal to the turtle son of a b1tch.”

Madame Hong stated, “All people is loyal, then we do not need a single rebellious traitor in right here. I am afraid there’s something fishy right here, I will have to research fastidiously. I have to offend all outdated xiongdi in the meanwhile. Tie them up.”

“Sure!” a number of hundred teenage girls and boys replied collectively.

“Maintain on!” a tall and durable man known as out.

Madame Hong stated, “White Dragon Envoy, what revered opinion do you’ve got?”

“Revered opinion, that I do not need,” the person replied, “Subordinate solely really feel it is not honest.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Madame Hong clicked her tongue, “You might be criticizing me as dealing with this matter unfairly.”

“Subordinate doesn’t dare,” the person stated, “Subordinate has been following Jiaozhu for twenty years, and has marched ahead courageously in every little thing. Once I was risking my life for our Cult, these little infants haven’t even born but. Why is it that they’re loyal to Jiaozhu, however we, the outdated xiongdi, aren’t loyal?”

Madame Hong chuckled and stated, “By saying that, White Dragon Envoy is exhibiting off your personal benefit. Aren’t you saying that if there was no White Dragon Envoy Zhong Zhiling, Shen Lengthy Jiao won’t exist in the present day?”

The tall and durable man, Zhong Zhiling stated, “The founding of Shen Lengthy Jiao is Jiaozhu, one man’s benefit, everyone else was merely following him, the Senior, placing the world, there isn’t any benefit worthy to be talked about, however …”

“However what?” Madame Hong requested.

Zhong Zhiling stated, “However we do not need any benefit, these teenage infants do not need benefit much more.”

“I’m solely twenty one thing years outdated,” Madame Hong stated, “So I do not need any benefit both?”

Zhong Zhiling hesitated for half a day. “That is proper,” he lastly stated, “Madame doesn’t have any benefit both. The good enterprise of founding our Cult is Jiaozhu, the Senior, one man’s benefit.”

Madame Hong slowly stated, “Since no one has any benefit, killing you’ll not be thought-about an injustice, will it?” Whereas saying this, her eyes flickered with a murderous spirit, however her expression was nonetheless extraordinarily charming.

Zhong Zhiling roared angrily, “Naturally killing the one surnamed Zhong alone is just not an enormous deal. I’m simply afraid that by murdering a loyal and good individual, by placing to dying a minister who has given excellent service, the muse of Shen Lengthy Jiao might be destroyed within the arms of Madame, one individual.”

“Superb, excellent,” Madame Hong stated, “Ay, I’m very drained.” These previous few phrases have been spoken languidly, who would have thought that it was unexpectedly a secret sign to kill? As quickly because the seven youngsters carrying white garments surrounding Zhong Zhiling heard it, they thrust their swords ahead, concurrently entered Zhong Zhiling’s physique.

When the seven swords have been drawn, from Zhong Zhiling physique spurted seven streams of blood, splashing the seven youngsters’ white garments that their garments have been soaked with blood. Zhong Zhiling known as out, “Jiaozhu, you … have the guts to do that! You … ” He fell down and died. The seven youngsters withdrew towards the hall, their motion was very orderly.

All of the older members of the Cult knew that the White Dragon Envoy Zhong Zhiling’s martial artwork talent was very excessive, however the seven swords moved collectively, unexpectedly he didn’t have the slightest little bit of energy to withstand, exhibiting that to ensure that these seven youngsters to have the ability to thrust their swords collectively within the corridor in the present day, they will need to have been below the Cult Chief’s route beforehand, additionally they will need to have practiced numerous time, in order that they have been very acquainted with the transfer and have been in a position to execute it with no flaw. No person didn’t have a trembling coronary heart.

After yawning, Madame Hong frivolously pressed her left hand on her cherry-red lips; she seems so delicate and very calm. Hong Jiaozhu nonetheless maintained his picket expression, as if he didn’t see the killing of Zhong Zhiling simply now. Madame Hong softly stated, “Blue Dragon Envoy, Yellow Dragon Envoy, you two gents, do you’re feeling that the White Dragon Envoy was scheming a riot, was responsible and should be punished?”

An outdated man with slit eyes and sharp face bowed and stated, “Zhong Zhiling rebelled towards Jiaozhu and Madame, he had thought this via intentionally and methodically for fairly a very long time, subordinate totally detest him, and have lodged an accusation a number of instances to Madame, however Madame all the time stated that trying on the outdated xiongdi’s face, let him had the chance to repent. Jiaozhu and Madame are magnanimous, hoping for him to reform and begin afresh, who would have thought that this man was incomparably malicious. His guilt was undoubtedly unpardonable. By letting him to have a fast dying like this, it was really too simple for him. All of the brethrens of the Cult, no one is just not grateful for Jiaozhu and Madame’s benevolence.”

In his coronary heart Wei Xiaobao stated, “He’s flattering the massive king.”

Madame Hong smiled barely and stated, “Yellow Dragon Envoy understood the cardinal precept. Blue Dragon Envoy, what do you suppose?”

A tall and skinny man in his fifties glowered on the eight youngsters carrying blue garments round him. “Get misplaced!” he growled, “If Jiaozhu needs to kill me, do you suppose I can not do it myself?”

Eight youngsters pushed their swords barely ahead, till the tip of the swords touched his garments. The person set free a number of ‘hey, hey’ chilly chortle, he slowly raised his arms to seize the chest of his personal garments; he stated, “Jiaozhu, Madame, previously, when subordinate, together with Scarlet, White, Black and Yellow, 4 Gates’ Zhangmenshi sworn brotherhood, we decided to work ourselves to dying for Shen Lengthy Jiao, we didn’t anticipate there can be a day like in the present day. Madame needed to place anyone to dying, it is not unusual in any respect. What’s unusual to me is that as a result of the Yellow Dragon Envoy Yin Dage is grasping for all times, afraid of dying, unexpectedly he uttered such a sordid and contemptible speak, slandering his personal good xiongdi …”

Out of the blue there was a ‘rip’ noise as the person threw each arms outward, pulling his personal lengthy robe into two halves. With a shake of his arms, the 2 items of robes coiled horizontally out, sweeping away the eight youngsters’ swords. Blue mild flashed, a pair of daggers a couple of chi and a half lengthy appeared in his arms. With a sequence of ‘Swish, swish!’ sound, the pit of the eight youngsters’ stomachs have been hit by the dagger; all of them fell to the bottom, spurting blood from their wounds. Eight useless our bodies fell round him, unexpectedly they kind a really neat circle. His motion was very quick, identical to a thunderbolt earlier than it even reaches the ears. Madame Hong was startled; she clapped her arms repeatedly. Greater than twenty youngsters in blue garments rushed towards the Blue Dragon Envoy, and as soon as once more he was surrounded.

The Blue Dragon Envoy laughed aloud, after which in a loud and clear voice he stated, “Madame, these infants that you just educated are utterly ineffective. If Jiaozhu needs to depend on these youngsters to determine nice deserves by subduing the enemy, will not it’s too inconvenient?”

When the seven youngsters assassinate Zhong Zhiling, Hong Jiaozhu appeared to show a blind eye, now that the Blue Dragon Envoy killed eight youngsters, he appeared as unconcerned; sitting quietly in his chair, all alongside he didn’t pay any consideration. Madame Hong solid a fast look towards her husband, as if she was considerably ashamed. Smiling sweetly, she sat down and stated with fun, “Blue Dragon Envoy, your swordsmanship is excellent, in the present day …”

Out of the blue there was a sequence of ‘crash, bang!’ noise throughout the corridor because the swords within the a number of hundred teenage girls and boys all fell to the ground. As they have been nonetheless in shock, they noticed one after the other the youngsters fell on their knees to the bottom. Immediately everyone additionally felt dizzy and their eyes dimmed, and have been unable to face. These with weaker internal energy fell down first, after which the remainder of them swayed and fell down one after one other. In a brief second the corridor was strewn with mendacity our bodies.

Madame Hong cried out in alarm, “What … what occurred?” Her physique felt weak, she slipped down from the bamboo chair.

The Blue Dragon Envoy was really standing upright and unafraid, with a malicious chortle he stated, “Jiaozhu, while you massacred our xiongdi, have you ever ever thought {that a} day like in the present day will arrive?” He struck his pair of daggers towards one another, making a metallic clang. Stepping over the our bodies mendacity on the bottom, he walked towards Hong Jiaozhu.

“Humph!” Hong Jiaozhu snorted, “Perhaps not!” Reaching out to seize the armrest of the bamboo chair, ‘Crack!’ he broke the armrest.

The Blue Dragon Envoy’s countenance modified instantly. Withdrawing two steps, he stated, “Jiaozhu, such an enormous cult like Shen Lengthy Jiao is torn to items. Who planted the embryo of this calamity, you, Senior, ought to grasp by now?”

“Mmm,” Hong Jiaozhu mumbled; immediately he slipped down from the chair and sat on the ground. The Blue Dragon Envoy was enormously delighted, he rushed ahead. Out of the blue he cried out, an object, carrying a robust gust of wind, was flying towards his chest. The Blue Dragon Envoy forcefully raised the dagger in his proper hand to cut, the thing broke into two items. Turned out it was the armrest from Hong Jiaozhu’s bamboo chair. The pressure behind this throw was not a small matter in any respect, because the bamboo piece was reduce, the entrance part didn’t fall. ‘Stab!’ it penetrated the Blue Dragon Envoy’s chest, breaking 5 – 6 of his ribs, and pierced his lung.

The Blue Dragon Envoy screamed, however immediately he stopped; the chi in his lung couldn’t circulation up, immediately he was muted. He swayed twice, the pair of daggers in his arms fell down, individually landed on the our bodies of two teenage boys. These two youngsters’ our bodies have been numb, they may not transfer, however really their minds have been nonetheless clear, they usually may nonetheless speak. Because the daggers pierced their our bodies, they cried out in ache.

Seeing their Jiaozhu displaying his divine prowess by pulling down the Blue Dragon Envoy, a number of hundred teenage girls and boys cheered collectively. They noticed their Jiaozhu propped himself up along with his proper hand, struggling to face up, however earlier than he may straighten up his proper leg, his knees turned delicate that he fell down once more and rolled away a number of instances. Certainly he had fallen into an especially tough scenario. This manner, everyone knew that Jiaozhu was in the identical boat as them, he was additionally being poisoned that his muscle went delicate and his flesh paralyzed.

Usually, the Cult Chief was an especially dignified individual, even in entrance of the Cult members very seldom did he ever converse greater than a sentence, or chortle greater than as soon as. This time unexpectedly he had fallen and suffered shame, dropping the energy of his complete physique.

A number of hundred folks within the corridor have been mendacity on the ground, however there was one one who was nonetheless standing. This individual was really very quick, however standing amongst a number of hundred folks mendacity on the ground, inevitably he seemed like a crane in a flock of rooster. This individual was none apart from Wei Xiaobao. His nostril smelled a burst of faint perfume, however he felt very calm and relaxed, his complete physique felt comfortably heat, a wierd good feeling that he couldn’t clarify.

Seeing everyone had fallen to the bottom with out figuring out the rationale, he was utterly baffled. After staring blankly for fairly some time, he reached down to drag Fats Toutuo up and requested, “Fats Revered Monk, what occurred to everyone?”

Fats Toutuo was shocked, “You … you aren’t poisoned?” he requested.

“Poisoned?” Wei Xiaobao was equally shocked, “I … I do not know.” He struggled exhausting to assist Fats Toutuo up, however Fats Toutuo didn’t have any energy left on his legs, he fell again sitting down on the ground.

Mr. Lu immediately requested, “Xu Dage, you … what sort of poison did you employ?”

The Blue Dragon Envoy’s physique swayed as if he was drunk; supporting himself on a pillar, he coughed incessantly and stated, “What a pity, what … what a pity I failed within reach of success. I … I’m unfit for something.”

“Is it ‘seven-insect tendon softening powder’?” Mr. Lu requested, “Is it ‘thousand-li ecstasy perfume’? Or is it ‘Trans … reworking blood … decaying bone mud’?” Successively he talked about the names of three most debilitating poison. When mentioning the title ‘reworking blood decaying bone mud’, his voice trembled, as if he was extraordinarily terrified.

The Blue Dragon Envoy’s proper lung was closely injured; his coughing was very extreme, he was unable to reply. Mr. Lu requested, “How come Wei Gongzi is just not poisoned? Ah! I do know!” He immediately remembered one thing. These two phrases ‘I do know’ have been shouted actually loud. He stated, “You might have utilized the ‘hundred flowers snake stomach’s ointment’ in your daggers. Sensible scheme, good scheme. Wei Gongzi, may you please sniff the Blue Dragon Envoy’s pair of daggers? See if you happen to scent flower’s perfume on the blades.”

Wei Xiaobao thought, “The blades are toxic, I’m not going to scent them.” He stated, “I can scent robust perfume from right here.”

Mr. Lu seemed delighted; “That is proper!” he stated, “When this ‘hundred flowers snake stomach’s ointment’ got here in touch with blood, it should produce a robust perfume. Really, it was a sure sect’s secret technique to refine spices, when strange folks scent it, they may really feel their spirits invigorated, however … however we reside on this Spirit Snake Island, everyone is used to take the ‘realgar medicated wine’ to dispel the toxic snakes. As quickly as this perfume got here in touch with the ‘realgar medicated wine’, it should make our muscle groups and bones weak for twelve shichen [24 hours]. Xu Dage, what a superb scheme. This ‘hundred flowers snake stomach’s ointment’ is definitely forbidden on the island, seems you’ve got ready this in secret for a very long time. You need to have stopped consuming the ‘realgar medicated wine’ three, 4 months in the past.”

The Blue Dragon Envoy sat down, he occurred to sat on two youngsters’ our bodies. Shaking his head, he stated, “Man proposes however God disposes, ultimately I nonetheless fell below Hong Antong’s evil scheme.”

A number of teenage boys shouted, “Audacious mad disciple, you dare to randomly name Jiaozhu’s holy title.”

The Blue Dragon Envoy stood up slowly. Selecting up a protracted sword, he walked over towards Hong Jiaozhu step-by-step. “Why cannot I say the title Hong Antong?” he stated, “Cough, cough … after I kill this evil thief … cough, cough … does it matter if I name his title or not?”

A number of hundred teenage girls and boys known as out in alarm. After some time, the Yellow Dragon Envoy’s outdated voice was heard, “Xu Xiongdi, after you kill Hong Antong, everyone will assist you as the brand new Shen Lengthy Jiao’s Jiaozhu. All people recite rapidly: We are going to obey Xu Jiaozhu’s command, completely no double-mind!”

The corridor was silent for a second, after which a number of dozen folks recited, “We are going to obey Xu Jiaozhu’s command, completely no double-mind.” Some have been assured, some appeared moderately hesitant, it sounded moderately irregular.

The Blue Dragon Envoy took two steps ahead, coughed as soon as, and swayed a number of instances. His harm was very heavy, however struggled with every little thing he had, as a result of it doesn’t matter what, he should kill Hong Jiaozhu first.

Out of the blue Madame Hong giggled and stated, “Blue Dragon Envoy, you have no energy left, your thighs doesn’t have in the least of energy, the blood bubbled up within the pit of your abdomen, very quickly you’ll lose every little thing. You might be completed. Why do not you sit down? You might be very drained. That is proper, sit down and relaxation for some time. Put down your sword. In a second it’s possible you’ll sit by my facet, let me treatment your harm. That is proper, sit down, put down your sword.” The extra she spoke, her voice grew gentler and extra flirtatious.

The Blue Dragon Envoy took a number of extra steps, ultimately he sat down slowly. ‘Clang!’ the sword in his hand fell all the way down to the ground.

Seeing the Blue Dragon Envoy didn’t have any energy to face up once more, the Yellow Dragon Envoy shouted, “Xu Xueting, you, this traitor, are indulging your self in wishful pondering, rattling it, you need to be the Jiaozhu, simply scatter your personal urine to your self, this revolting habits can’t be tolerated.”

The Scarlet Dragon Envoy Priest Wugen shouted, “Yin Jin, you might be such a despicable, shameless lowly individual, you see the wind and set the helm, rocking to the east and sway to the west. As quickly because the ol’ Taoist can transfer my arms and ft, the very first thing I will do might be to slaughter you.”

The Yellow Dragon Envoy Yin Jin stated, “Why are you vicious? I … I …” he needed to speak again, however noticed that swaying and rocking, the Blue Dragon Envoy struggled exhausting to face up. As soon as once more the battle’s final result was undecided[105], thereupon he shut his mouth.

Within the meantime, the eyes of a number of hundred folks within the corridor have been all mounted on Xu Xueting. In a delicate voice Madame Hong stated, “Xu Dage, you might be very drained, why do not you sit down? Simply have a look at me, I will sing a bit music for you. Simply take an excellent relaxation, afterward I’ll sing a bit music for you day by day. Inform me if I look stunning.”

“Oh, oh,” Xu Xueting repeatedly mumbled, he stated, “You … you might be very stunning, however I … I don’t dare to have a look at you an excessive amount of …” Whereas saying that, he sat down once more, and this time he couldn’t stand again up; nevertheless, his thoughts was nonetheless as brilliant as snow, he realized that so long as he couldn’t get up, he wouldn’t be capable of kill Jiaozhu. Amongst these a number of hundred folks, the Cult Chief’s talent was probably the most profound, certainly he can be the primary to have the poison in his system pushed out, after which each one of many older brethrens wouldn’t be lucky to flee his evil scheme. Thereupon he stated, “Mister … Mister Lu, I can not transfer, it’s essential to suppose … suppose … cough, cough … consider a manner.”

“Wei Gongzi,” Mr. Lu stated, “This Jiaozhu is extraordinarily vicious, when the poison in his physique is neutralized, he’ll kill everyone, even you’ll not escape. Rapidly kill Jiaozhu and Madame.”

Even when he didn’t say these phrases, Wei Xiaobao had already understood. Selecting up a sword, he slowly walked towards the Cult Chief.

Mr. Lu added, “This Madame Hong is a fox-spirit, she is going to utterly deceive folks, it’s essential to not have a look at her face, do not have a look at her eyes.”

“Sure!” Wei Xiaobao replied. With raised sword he took a number of steps ahead.

In a delicate voice Madame Hong stated, “Xiao Xiongdi, inform me, do you suppose I’m stunning?” Her voice was brimming with overwhelming emotion that may erode the bones. Wei Xiaobao’s coronary heart was moved; he turned his head to have a look at her.

Fats Toutuo shouted loudly, “Depraved demon; do not have a look at her!” Wei Xiaobao shivered and closed his eyes tight.

With a young chortle Madame Hong stated, “Xiao Xiongdi, have a look at me, flip your eyes on me, open your eyes, look, you’ll be able to see your reflection in my eyes!”

As quickly as Wei Xiaobao opened his eyes, he noticed Madame Hong’s sleek eyes and smiling expression; he couldn’t cease his coronary heart from being shaken. Instantly he raised the sword in entrance of his chest and walked towards Hong Jiaozhu, pondering, “You might be such a good looking lady, I actually can not kill you, however I merely should kill your husband.”

Out of the blue from his left got here a pointy and clear voice calling out, “Wei Dage! Do not kill him!”

The voice sounded very acquainted. Wei Xiaobao’s coronary heart was shaken. He turned towards the voice and noticed a younger woman carrying crimson garments mendacity on the bottom, her eyebrows have been elegant her eyes have been beautiful, she was none apart from Xiao Junzhu Mu Jianping. Wei Xiaobao was flabbergasted; not in 1,000,000 years would he anticipate to see her on this place. As for why she was carrying the Scarlet Dragon Gate’s crimson uniform, he didn’t really feel shocked in any respect. Busily he helped her up and requested, “How are you going to be right here?”

Mu Jianping didn’t reply his query, she solely stated, “By all means, it’s essential to not kill Jiaozhu.”

“Have you ever joined Shen Lengthy Jiao?” Wei Xiaobao requested in shock, “How … how come?”

Mu Jianping’s complete physique was so delicate as if she didn’t have any bones; leaning towards his shoulder, she put her small mouth near his ear and stated in a low voice, “For those who kill Jiaozhu and Madame, I cannot reside. These outdated males hate us to the dying, they may undoubtedly kill us all of the younger folks.”

“I’m going to ask them to not hurt you,” Wei Xiaobao stated, “I believe they may consent.”

“No, no!” Mu Jianping anxiously stated, “Jiaozhu has given us poison, different folks can not neutralize it.”

Assembly along with her once more after a protracted separation, Wei Xiaobao was really very completely satisfied, a lot much less she was leaning in his bosom, he may scent her delicate perfume, and listen to her tender voice in his ear. He discovered it very tough to withstand her request, plus he thought that the Cult Chief had pressured her to take the poison and no one else may save her; subsequently, if he killed the Cult Chief, he can be killing this stunning younger lady in his bosom, which he must not ever do. It was a really tough resolution to take. He stated in a low voice, “If I do not kill Jiaozhu, after the poison in Jiaozhu’s physique is neutralized, he will certainly kill me.” He was holding Mu Jianping in tight embrace, he stated these phrases in her ear.

Mu Jianping stated, “For those who saved Jiaozhu and Madame, how may they kill you?”

Wei Xiaobao thought that she was proper, Madame Hong was such a thousand-beauty a hundred-charming lady, it doesn’t matter what she should not be killed. Earlier than his eyes was a chance to arrange a terrific benefit, it is simply that inevitably Fats Toutuo, Mr. Lu, Priest Wugen and the others can be killed by the Cult Chief. Priest Wugen was an especially heroic man, it could be a pity to have him killed. It might be finest if he didn’t kill Jiaozhu and Madame, whereas saving Fats Toutuo and the others’ lives on the identical time. Thereupon he stated, “Precisely! Good spouse, even when Jiaozhu needed to kill me, I’ll undoubtedly save your life.” Whereas saying that, he landed a kiss on her left cheek.

Mu Jianping was extraordinarily bashful, her face blushed, however her eyes revealed a cheerful expression as she stated in a low voice, “For those who arrange a terrific benefit, plus you’re a younger youngster, how can Jiaozhu kill you?”

Wei Xiaobao lay Mu Jianping again on the ground; he turned his head and stated, “Mr. Lu, Jiaozhu should not be killed, and so is Madame. The inscription on the stone pill says that Jiaozhu and Madame will get pleasure from immortal luck eternally, their lengthy lives would be the identical because the heaven’s; how can I dare to hurt their lives? The 2 Seniors’ magical energy is intensive, even when I need to hurt them, I can not hurt them to their dying.”

Mr. Lu was enormously anxious; “The inscription is a faux,” he known as out, “How are you going to even take it into consideration? Do not bask in flights of fancy, rapidly kill these two folks, in any other case, everyone will die with no burial web site.”

Wei Xiaobao repeatedly shook his head. “Mr. Lu,” he stated, “You need to not say such a treason speak. Do you’ve got the antidote? We should neutralize the poison in Jiaozhu and Madame’s our bodies.”

In a delicate voice Madame Hong stated, “That is proper, Xiao Xiongdi, you certainly have glorious information and expertise. The Heaven despatched such a younger hero such as you to descend to the world, really to help Jiaozhu. For Shen Lengthy Jiao to have such a younger hero such as you, it’s certainly everybody’s luck.”

She appeared to say these phrases from the underside of her coronary heart, it was brimming with amazement and excessive reward. When Wei Xiaobao heard it, he felt an unspeakable pleasure and luxury in his coronary heart. He laughed and stated, “Madame, I do not belong to Shen Lengthy Jiao.”

Madame Hong laughed. “Nothing could possibly be simpler than that,” she stated, “You may be part of the Cult proper now, I will be your sponsor [orig. person who receive and instruct]. Jiaozhu, this Xiao Xiongdi has arrange such a terrific benefit for our Cult, which official place ought to we assign to him?”

The Cult Chief stated, “The White Dragon Gate’s Zhangmenshi Zhong Zhiling has been executed for apostasy, we will promote this younger man because the White Dragon Envoy.”

“That is nice!” Madame Hong stated with fun, “Xiao Xiongdi, our Cult is headed by Jiaozhu, below him are Blue, Yellow, Scarlet, White and Black, 5 dragon envoys. To have somebody such as you, who as quickly as you be part of the Cult instantly turns into one of many 5 dragon envoys, it’s certainly unprecedented, indicating that that Jiaozhu has a really excessive opinion of you. Xiao Xiongdi, you might be surnamed Wei, that a lot we all know. However what’s your nice title?”

“My title is Wei Xiaobao,” Wei Xiaobao replied, “In Jianghu, folks name me the Little White Dragon.” He recalled Mao Shiba had fabricated a nickname for him with the thought that if he didn’t have any nickname, it could not be spectacular sufficient. Who may have thought that the nickname agreed with what had occurred in the present day as if by prior session?

“You see, you see!” Madame Hong fortunately stated, “That is the Heaven’s plan, in any other case, how can there be such coincidence? Jiaozhu’s golden mouth has spoken, undoubtedly he will not renege.”

Mr. Lu was enormously anxious, “Wei Gongzi,” he stated, “Do not fall into their trick. Even if you happen to develop into the White Dragon Envoy, if they do not such as you and need to kill you, will not it’s as simple as turning their hand over? The White Dragon Envoy Zhong Zhiling was the instance proper in entrance of our eyes. Rapidly kill Jiaozhu and Madame, everyone will assist you as the brand new Jiaozhu of Shen Lengthy Jiao.”

As quickly as he stated that, everyone was startled. Fats Toutuo, Xu Xueting, Priest Wugen and the others all felt that this concept was extraordinarily unthinkable. However then they’d a second thought: if they didn’t assist him to be the brand new Cult Chief, at present there was no place within the Cult greater than the White Dragon Envoy place. The scenario earlier than their eyes was very pressing, the lives of everyone current have been hanging on his hand. Solely by doing this they might be capable of tempt him to kill Jiaozhu and Madame. As quickly because the disaster was over, even when they actually promote him to develop into the Cult Chief, he wouldn’t escape from everyone’s grasp. Thereupon everyone chorused, “Proper, proper, we’ll assist Wei Gongzi because the Shen Lengthy Jiao’s Jiaozhu; everyone might be loyal and dedicated to you.”

Wei Xiaobao’s coronary heart was moved, he solid a sidelong look towards Madame Hong. She was half sitting half mendacity on the bamboo chair, as if her complete physique was devoid of any bones. Her chest was heaving up and down barely, her cheeks blushed, her eyes glistened. He mused, “There’s nothing enjoyable being the Jiaozhu, however this Madame Jiaozhu is extraordinarily fairly. If I develop into the Jiaozhu, will you or will not you continue to develop into the Madame Jiaozhu?”

However this thought solely flashed via in his thoughts, instantly he cleared his head, “Every of those folks has superior martial artwork talent, as quickly because the poison of their our bodies is neutralized, how can I take care of them? Will probably be ‘pulling the plank after crossing the bridge’.” As for the matter of ‘pulling the plank after crossing the bridge’, he had had private expertise with the Tian Di Hui’s Inexperienced Wooden Corridor. However Tian Di Hui brethrens have been heroes and warrior, after crossing the bridge, they didn’t pull the plank in a rush. These Shen Lengthy Jiao fellows, then again, how may they not pull the plank in a rush? Worse but, how may they not do it in nice delight? Though Madame Jiaozhu was fairly, when all is alleged and accomplished, his personal life was prettier.

Thereupon he caught out his tongue and stated with fun, “I do not need to be the Jiaozhu, by saying that, you aren’t bringing luck to me. Apart from, it’s treason and heresy. How about this: Jiaozhu, Madame, and everyone right here higher be reconciled. I need each side to ignore what had occurred in the present day. Mr. Lu, Blue Dragon Envoy and the others have offended Jiaozhu, I’m asking Jiaozhu to be magnanimous and disrespect their crime. Mr. Lu, take the antidote out, after everyone is cured, will not it’s good that we’re all pleasant towards one another?”

With out ready for Mr. Lu to open his mouth, Hong Jiaozhu instantly stated, “Very nicely, let’s do it. The White Dragon Envoy is urging us to work collectively, to let bygones be bygones; I settle for the auspicious loyal recommendation. The matter of everyone rebelled towards the authority in the present day, I’m prepared to forgive and can now not look into it.”

Wei Xiaobao fortunately stated, “Blue Dragon Envoy, Jiaozhu has agreed, do not you agree that that is fantastic?”

Realizing that Wei Xiaobao was unwilling to kill the Cult Chief it doesn’t matter what, Mr. Lu heaved a deep sigh and stated, “If that is the case, Jiaozhu, Madame, would you two please make an oath.”

Madame Hong stated, “I, Su Quan, won’t look into in the present day’s matter. If I’m going towards this oath, let me fall into the Dragon Pool, and be devoured by ten thousand snakes.”

In a low and deep voice Hong Jiaozhu stated, “If sooner or later I, Shen Lengthy Jiao Jiaozhu Hong Antong, ever settle the account with outdated xiongdi over what had occurred in the present day, let the Ol’ Hong fall into the Dragon Pool and be devoured by ten thousand snakes, in order that even my bones won’t survive.”

‘Fall into the Dragon Pool and be devoured by ten thousand snakes’ was Shen Lengthy Jiao’s heaviest punishment. Jiaozhu and Madame swore this heavy oath, though they have been below strain, they merely couldn’t retract what they’d stated.

“Blue Dragon Envoy, what do you suppose?” Mr. Lu requested.

Xu Xueting was at his final gasp, he stated, “I … I will not reside anyway.”

“Priest Wugen, what do you suppose?” Mr. Lu requested once more.

In a loud voice Priest Wugen stated, “Let it’s so. Hong Jiaozhu was initially our outdated xiongdi, his literary and martial artwork abilities are ten instances higher than everyone else. All of us initially supported him with out half-heartedness. Ever since he took this Madame as his spouse, his character underwent enormous adjustments; he solely cherished to advertise younger girls and boys and had us, the outdated xiongdi massacred one after the other. The Blue Dragon Envoy was the primary to rise in revolt, however he was solely striving to outlive, with out another motive. Since Jiaozhu and Madame have sworn an oath publicly to not look into in the present day’s matter, now not recklessly homicide outdated xiongdi, why would we need to insurgent towards him? Apart from, Shen Lengthy Jiao can not exist with out this Jiaozhu.”

A bunch of teenage girls and boys shouted loudly, “Jiaozhu will get pleasure from immortal luck eternally, his lengthy life would be the identical because the heaven’s.”

“Wei Gongzi,” Mr. Lu stated, “You haven’t taken ‘realgar medicated wine’, subsequently, you weren’t poisoned by … and thus have arrange the nice benefit of in the present day. It was the thriller of the underworld, the Will of Heaven. To neutralize the poison, it is vitally simple. Go exterior and scoop up some chilly water, deliver it right here and have everyone right here drink some.”

Wei Xiaobao laughed and stated, “Seems this poison may be very simple to neutralize.” He went out the corridor, however couldn’t discover any chilly water. Circling across the corridor, he noticed a row of twenty stone jars, seven of them have been brimming with clear water. Really, the water was to protect towards the bamboo corridor catching fireplace. Instantly he stuffed a bucket full with water and returned to the primary corridor. He scooped some water and had the Cult Chief drink it first. Subsequent he gave Madame Hong some water. The third scoop was for Priest Wugen; he stated, “Daozhang [priest], you’re a hero and a warrior.” The fourth, the fifth have been for Fats Toutuo and Mr. Lu. The sixth was for Mu Jianping.

After consuming the water, all of them threw up, after which slowly regained the energy of their arms and ft. After Wei Xiaobao fed a number of extra folks, Mr. Lu was already in a position to get up and stroll, instantly he attended the Blue Dragon Envoy Xu Xueting’s harm, making an attempt to cease his bleeding. Fats Toutuo and the others additionally took chilly water to assist the brethrens closest to them. Very quickly Mu Jianping was in a position to assist a number of teenage women carrying crimson garments.

The corridor reeked with vomit, the stench was insufferable.

Madame Hong stated, “All people, return and relaxation, we’ll assemble once more tomorrow.”

Hong Jiaozhu stated, “I’ve determined to let bygones be bygones, all xiongdi are companions, you can’t, due to what occurred in the present day, strife towards one another to hold out a vendetta towards our brother. Those that disobey might be severely punished. The teen of 5 Dragon Gates should not be disrespectful towards the Zhangmenshi. In the identical manner, the Zhangmenshi should not discover any excuse to punish the younger members of our Gates.”

Everybody acquired the order with one voice, however they have been nonetheless suspicious and jealous, in any case, it was very tough to drive anxiousness away.

“White Dragon Envoy,” Madame Hong stated in a delicate voice, “Include me.”

Wei Xiaobao nonetheless didn’t know that she was calling him, solely after seeing her beckoning to him did he notice that he had develop into the Divine Dragon Cult’s White Dragon Envoy; thereupon he adopted her.

The Cult Chief and Madame walked side-by-side out of the primary corridor. All people who may transfer bowed to salute, whereas shouting with a loud voice, “Jiaozhu will get pleasure from immortal luck eternally, his lengthy life would be the identical because the heaven’s!”

Following a path laid with darkish inexperienced flagstones the Cult Chief and Madame left the constructing and stroll to the left. After passing via a sizeable bamboo groove, they arrived at an elevated stage floor, the place a number of giant bamboo buildings have been constructed. A dozen or so teenage girls and boys carrying 5 totally different shade garments have been on guard obligation across the buildings with unsheathed swords of their arms. Seeing the Cult Chief, all of them bowed to salute. Madame Hong led Wei Xiaobao right into a bamboo constructing and stated to a teen carrying white garments, “That is Wei Gongzi, the newly-appointed Zhangmenshi of your White Dragon Gate. Take him to the jap wing to relaxation, all of it’s essential to serve him nicely.” Completed talking, she flashed a smile towards Wei Xiaobao and entered the internal corridor.

A number of youngsters in white garments offered themselves to Wei Xiaobao and stated, “Younger subordinates pay their respect to the Envoy.”

Within the Palace, Wei Xiaobao was accustomed to be a chief of the courtroom eunuchs; in Tian Di Hui, he was accustomed to be a Xiangzhu, he didn’t care in in the least that folks have been treating him deferentially; he merely nodded. A number of youngsters in white garments took him to the jap wing and supplied to serve him tea. Though it was solely a wing, the room was very spacious; the furnishings have been elegant and pure, with gold and jade antiques unfold all around the desk. A number of rolls of calligraphy and work have been held on the wall, the bedding on the mattress was magnificent, unexpectedly it had a bit little bit of the Imperial Palace’s fashion.

These a number of youngsters in white garments seen that it was evident from Madame Hong’s speech and expression that she held this Wei Xiaobao in such a excessive regard, furthermore, there had by no means been any outsider who spent the evening within the Cult Chief’s ‘Immortal Good Fortune Residence’. By having fun with particular privilege like this, clearly the White Dragon Envoy’s standing was above the opposite 4 envoys. These children had been on guard obligation in right here for some time, they didn’t know concerning the incident that had simply occurred in the primary corridor, however seeing Wei Xiaobao was in such an honored place and was within the Cult Chief’s good grace, all of them did every little thing they may to please him.

That very same afternoon Wei Xiaobao requested these a number of youngsters in white garments about every kind of customs of the 5 Dragon Gates. Turned out the Divine Dragon Cult was divided into 5 gates, every gate envoy commanded a number of dozen of outdated xiongdi, 100 youngsters, and several other hundred strange Cult members. Every Zhangmenshi was initially a veteran martial artwork professional who had established nice service to the Cult. However lately the Cult Chief had thrown his full assist to advertise some rising stars, usually folks of their twenties, to carry vital positions second solely to the Zhangmenshi. Though Wei Xiaobao was very younger, no one confirmed in the least of shock.

The following morning, Hong Jiaozhu and Madame Hong known as for an additional meeting in the primary corridor. There was anxiousness and uneasy expression on everyone’s face. Though the Cult Chief had sworn an oath to not pursue this matter, he was often called extraordinarily shrewd, no one may guess what sort of formidable technique he would use to take care of them.

The Cult Chief and Madame sat on their thrones. Wei Xiaobao was fourth among the many 5 Dragon Envoys, he ranked above Fats Toutuo and Mr. Lu. “How is the Blue Dragon Envoy’s harm?” the Cult Chief requested.

Mr. Lu bowed and stated, “Reporting to Jiaozhu: the Blue Dragon Envoy’s harm is just not mild, whether or not his life will be saved or not, at this time it’s nonetheless very tough to say.”

The Cult Chief took a deep crimson small porcelain bottle from his bosom and stated, “Listed here are three ‘King of Heaven’s Life-saving Tablets’, give them to him.” Whereas saying that, with out anyone seeing him elevating his hand, the porcelain bottle flew slowly towards Mr. Lu.

Swiftly Mr. Lu reached out to obtain it. Mendacity prostrate on the ground, he stated, “Thanks Jiaozhu on your nice graciousness.” He knew these ‘King of Heaven’s Life-saving Tablets’ to be very uncommon. The Cult Chief needed to dispatch his subordinates to collect numerous uncommon drug components and needed to refine it earlier than making the drugs. Among the many components have been three-hundred-year outdated Laoshan [lit. old mountain] ginseng, white bear’s gall, snow lotus herb and different particularly hard-to-come-by substances. The Cult Chief had spent appreciable effort to fabricate the drugs, however he managed to supply solely round ten drugs. With these three miracle treatment drugs, Xu Xueting’s life would undoubtedly be out of hazard.

The remainder of the outdated xiongdi additionally bowed to specific their gratitude; all of them thought, “The Blue Dragon Envoy has offended Jiaozhu actually unhealthy yesterday by figuring out to take his life, but in the present day Jiaozhu bestowed the treasured medication as a substitute. He has let bygones be bygones certainly.” Nobody didn’t really feel gratified. At first everyone within the corridor was in excessive alert, however now their faces confirmed smiling expression. Fairly a couple of of them set free a deep breath.

Madame Hong stated with fun, “White Dragon Envoy, I heard that on Mount Wutai you noticed a stone pill, on which some writings in tadpole script have been engraved?”

Wei Xiaobao bowed and stated, “Sure!”

Fats Toutuo stated, “Reporting to Jiaozhu and Madame: subordinate has made a rubbing of the writings and I’ve it in right here.” From his bosom he took out a roll of oil paper and opened it, exhibiting a big sheet of rubbings from the pill, which he then held on the jap wall. The sheet had a black background with white characters, the writings seemed extraordinarily unusual, no one acknowledge the characters.

Madame Hong stated, “White Dragon Envoy, if you understand these characters, please learn it for everyone right here.”

“Sure,” Wei Xiaobao replied. With eyes mounted on the rubbing, he loudly recited the writings made by Mr. Lu: “Within the tenth month of the Zhen Guan’s second 12 months Jiazi of the Nice Tang …” Slowly he continued reciting from reminiscence. Sometimes he would overlook, so he stated, “Um, what character is that? It is tough to acknowledge. Ah proper, have to be a ‘mo’ [devil] character.”

When reciting the half that stated ‘He’ll get pleasure from immortal happiness eternally, common evil spirit will venerate him. His lengthy life would be the identical because the Heaven’s, a form sage of each pen and sword’, he modified it to ‘He, along with Madame, will get pleasure from immortal happiness eternally, common evil spirit will venerate them. Their lengthy life would be the identical because the Heaven’s, form sages of each pen and sword.’

In all honesty, this four-character phrase ‘along with Madame’ [lian tong fu ren] was moderately vulgar; if it was composed by Mr. Lu, he would undoubtedly decide a extra elegant wording. However Wei Xiaobao didn’t have any literary talent, how may he produce any elegant phrase? It was already exceptional that he didn’t change a four-character sentence right into a five-character one.

When Madame Hong heard this phrase, ‘her brows raised in delight, her eyes laughing’ as she stated, “Jiaozhu, there’s certainly a reference on me within the writings of the stone pill, the White Dragon Envoy didn’t carelessly make it up.”

Hong Jiaozhu was additionally very completely satisfied; he nodded and stated with fun, “Good, good! We’re fulfilling the Heaven’s future; the founding of this Shen Lengthy Jiao was really foretold by the Heaven throughout the Zhen Guan 12 months of the Nice Tang.”

The cult members within the corridor shouted collectively, “Jiaozhu will get pleasure from immortal luck eternally, his lengthy life would be the identical because the heaven’s.”

Priest Wugen and the opposite outdated xiongdi have been additionally amazed, they thought, “Jiaozhu and Madame are fulfilling the Heaven’s future, we should not offend them.”

The Cult Chief twisted his beard and stated with a smile, “Madame is correct.”

The folks yelled once more, “Jiaozhu’s lengthy life would be the identical because the heaven’s, Jiaozhu’s lengthy life would be the identical because the heaven’s!”

When the shouting subsided, Hong Jiaozhu stated, “Now, allow us to open the Incense Corridor to inaugurate Wei Xiaobao as our Cult’s White Dragon Gate’s Zhangmenshi.”

The opening of the incense corridor of Shen Lengthy Jiao was utterly totally different from Tian Di Hui. Wei Xiaobao noticed 5 golden trays on the incense desk, every tray had a small snake on it, altogether there have been blue, yellow, scarlet, white and black snakes. These 5 little snakes raised their heads, flicking their tongues out and in, however their our bodies have been immobile.

After doing obeisance towards these 5 ‘divine dragons’, Wei Xiaobao kowtowed in entrance of the Cult Chief and Madame, and accepted Priest Wugen and the others’ congratulations. Madame Hong poured three cups of realgar wine and had him drink it. She stated with fun, “After consuming this wine, the divine dragons on this island will know that you’re one in all our personal, hereafter they won’t come to chunk you.” The Cult Chief bestowed him a strand of realgar bead, telling him to hold it subsequent to his pores and skin, so {that a} hundred poisons wouldn’t hurt him. Subsequent, the elders and younger males of the White Dragon Gate got here to pay their respect to their new Zhangmenshi.

The Cult Chief ordered, “As a result of the Blue Dragon Gate Zhangmenshi is recuperating from his sickness, and Fats Toutuo has arrange a benefit by making the rubbing of the stone pill, Fats Toutuo will quickly deal with the Blue Dragon Gate’s enterprise. When the Blue Dragon Envoy recovers, he’ll take over once more.” Fats Toutuo bowed to simply accept the order. The Cult Chief continued, “5 Dragon Envoys and Lu Gaoxuan, six folks, come to the rear corridor to debate official enterprise.”

Instantly the Cult Chief and Madame rose from their seats and walked towards the rear corridor, whereas everyone shouted loudly to see them off. Priest Wugen, Wei Xiaobao, Fats Toutuo, Mr. Lu and the others adopted behind them. It was solely then that Wei Xiaobao knew that Mr. Lu’s title was Lu Gaoxuan.

The rear corridor was positioned proper behind the primary corridor. It was not large, with two giant bamboo chairs inside, the place he Cult Chief and Madame sit. Under the chairs there have been 5 low stools. The three Zhangmenshi sat down. Fats Toutuo additionally sat down. He stated, “White Dragon Envoy, please sit down.”

Seeing Mr. Lu didn’t have a seat, Wei Xiaobao hesitated a bit bit. Mr. Lu smiled and stated, “White Dragon Envoy, please sit down. There isn’t any seat for a Cult member with none obligations like me within the ‘Hidden Dragon Corridor’.”

Wei Xiaobao anticipated it was certainly the customized; if Fats Toutuo was not performing on behalf of the Blue Dragon Envoy, he wouldn’t have any seat both, thereupon he sat down. Mr. Lu stood up subsequent to the Black Dragon Envoy, a place beneath him.

Out of the blue Yin Jin and the others, 4 folks, stood up. Wei Xiaobao didn’t perceive what was occurring, he additionally stood up. He heard Yin Jin, Mr. Lu and the others, 5 folks, have been reciting, “With Jiaozhu’s treasured instructing …” Wei Xiaobao instantly adopted, “… all the time in our hearts, we will arrange meritorious deed and subdue the enemy, nothing is unachievable!” He nonetheless had a toddler’s high-pitched voice, so in comparison with the 5 folks’s voices, his sounded considerably louder. Solely after Hong Jiaozhu nodded did the 5 folks sit down.

The Black Dragon Envoy stated, “It could be assumed that these 4 books have been initially from Shaolin Temple, Mu Palace and so forth, which, afterwards, have been seized away by the Tatars and introduced into the Palace.” The Cult Chief hesitated for a second and didn’t say something; the concern on the Black Dragon Envoy’s face grew extra intense.

Hong Jiaozhu turned towards Fats Toutuo and requested, “Has your Shixiong despatched any information again?”

Fats Toutuo respectfully stated, “Reporting to Jiaozhu: Skinny Toutuo as soon as stated that on the Banner Commander of Bordered Blue Banner’s mansion he had discovered a bit little bit of clue, however afterwards he misplaced monitor of it.”

Wei Xiaobao’s coronary heart was moved, “The Banner Commander of Bordered Blue Banner’s mansion?” he mused, “Is not that the place the place Tao Gugu’s Shifu went? Seems Fats Toutuo have a shixiong, who is known as Skinny Toutuo.”

He heard Hong Jiaozhu stated, “Inform him that I order him to complete up his investigation as quickly as potential, he should not be negligent.” Fats Toutuo repeatedly complied.

After some time, Madame Hong smiled and stated, “The Black Dragon Envoy has despatched folks into the Palace to fetch the sutra. In accordance with his personal clarification, he had spared no effort, however to date he had not succeeded in acquiring even one copy. Maybe we must ship another person whose luck is lots higher to deal with this matter.”

The Yellow Dragon Envoy Yin Jin unexpectedly stated, “Madame has a clever opinion. Studying from expertise, fetching the sutra is a matter of luck, with huge accountability. It isn’t that the Black Dragon Envoy didn’t strive exhausting and didn’t need to carry out a meritorious deed for Jiaozhu, it is simply that from the start there are obstacles one after one other. Most probably it’s as a result of his luck is insufficient, thereupon the treasured sutra can’t be obtained.”

Madame Hong smiled and stated, “In your opinion, whose luck is sufficient?”

Yin Jin stated, “The one with most luck in our Cult is of course Jiaozhu, the Senior, himself; subsequent in line can be Madame. Nevertheless, we should not toil your two honorable selves to enter motion personally. The following individual with nice fortune can be the White Dragon Envoy. He is aware of the inscriptions on the stone pill, he has additionally established a terrific service. There’s a faint crimson glow on the middle of his brow, an indication that his luck may be very large, there isn’t any one amongst Jiaozhu’s subordinate can surpass him.”

The Cult Chief twisted his beard and stated with a smile, “However he’s a small youngster, can he deal with this nice matter?”

Though the White Dragon Envoy was a senior place throughout the Divine Dragon Cult, in Wei Xiaobao’s coronary heart it didn’t imply something. Since he was caught on the Island, he was pressured to take no matter comes his manner. He had excessive satisfaction in Madame Hong’s ‘bashful flower obstructing the moon’ magnificence, but when he checked out her an excessive amount of, Jiaozhu would detect his lecherous look, then it could be tough for him to flee dying. Briefly, it could be finest if he may return to Beijing as quickly as potential. Listening to Jiaozhu’s phrases, he discovered the proper alternative to free himself; thereupon he stated, “Jiaozhu, Madame, I’m indebted of your promotion; subordinate may be very grateful. I do not need any capability, however counting on the nice fortune of the 2 of you, I’ve the hope that I can reach sneaking into the Palace and steal the 4 copies of the treasured sutra.”

Hong Jiaozhu nodded. Madame Hong fortunately stated, “You might be prepared to volunteer, exhibiting that you’re loyal to Jiaozhu. I do know you might be good and witty, plus have nice luck. Maybe you might be exactly the individual despatched by the Heaven to finish this vital matter for Jiaozhu.”

Hong Jiaozhu slowly stated, “In accordance with the Black Dragon Envoy’s report, the folks he despatched to the Palace have despatched data that the younger Emperor has a bit eunuch below his command by the title of Xiao Guizi …”

Wei Xiaobao was shocked. “My trickery is uncovered! I’m in large bother,” he mused. He heard the Cult Chief continued, “… the younger Emperor despatched him to Mount Wutai, the intention is just not favorable to our Cult. We despatched a number of folks in succession to query him. Zhang Laosan couldn’t discover him, Fats Toutuo additionally failed, unexpectedly Xiao Guizi can’t be discovered, however we discovered you as a substitute.”

Because the Cult Chief took a brief pause, Yin Jin stated, “Certainly that’s Jiaozhu’s flood of excellent fortune fills the heavens!”

Hong Jiaozhu barely nodded his head towards him and continued, “White Dragon Envoy, as quickly as you get to the Palace, it’s essential to instantly examine this Xiao Guizi’s matter: what scheme did the Emperor have of sending him to Mount Wutai?”

Wei Xiaobao was so scared that his complete physique was drenched in chilly sweat. “Sure, sure,” he busily stated. However he was relieved that from the Cult Chief’s tone, he would undoubtedly be despatched to the Imperial Palace. Solid a look towards Fats Toutuo, he mused, “You didn’t reveal my secret, I think about you an excellent individual.”

Wei Xiaobao stood up, he bowed and stated, “Even when subordinate’s physique is torn and my bones crushed, it’s nonetheless tough to repay Jiaozhu and Madame’s nice kindness. I might be totally loyal serving the nation and die in battle.” He realized these eight characters ‘totally loyal serving the nation and die in battle’ [jin zhong bao guo, ma ge guo shi] from the storyteller; at any time when a normal was going into battle, the sovereign king would encourage him, after which the nice normal would fervently utter these eight characters. He blindly imitated the phrases, though getting used right here it was a bit an excessive amount of and a bit nondescript.

Madame Hong laughed and stated, “You vow loyalty and devotion to Jiaozhu, that is excellent. You go to Beijing, it’s possible you’ll select a number of folks that will help you as you want.”

Wei Xiaobao thought, “Since I’m operating away, if the Cult folks observe, they may solely tie my arms and tie my ft.” Thereupon he stated, “I’m afraid with too many individuals our secret might be revealed. Ah, proper, subordinate needs to pick one or two younger women below the Scarlet Dragon Envoy, they are often disguised as palace maid; dealing with affairs within the Palace might be extra handy.” He was fascinated about Mu Jianping, he should take her away.

Priest Wugen stated, “I’m afraid these little misses are ineffective, however so long as Jiaozhu and Madame approve, it’s possible you’ll select as you want.”

“Thanks Daozhang,” Wei Xiaobao stated.

Lu Gaoxuan stated, “Reporting to Jiaozhu, Madame: subordinate has dedicated grave offense yesterday, I’m very grateful of Jiaozhu’s graciousness in not killing me …”

Hong Jiaozhu waved his hand and stated with knitted brows, “The matter of yesterday, everyone should not bear in mind in his coronary heart, any longer no one is allowed to lift it once more.”

“Sure,” Lu Gaoxuan stated, “Thanks very a lot Jiaozhu. Subordinate is pondering of accompanying the White Dragon Envoy. With Jiaozhu and Madame’s nice fortune, maybe I will arrange some benefit for Jiaozhu, to point out a bit of subordinate’s honest appreciation.”

Hong Jiaozhu nodded his head and stated, “Lu Gaoxuan is extraordinarily resourceful, his martial artwork talent is superior, his penmanship is much more proficient, the literary works he made was nicely organized. Superb, excellent, it’s possible you’ll go along with the White Dragon Envoy.”

Lu Gaoxuan thought-about fastidiously, “He stated the literary works I made was nicely organized, may it’s that about my fabrication of the writings on the stone pill, in his coronary heart he has already recognized it nicely?”

Fats Toutuo stated, “Reporting to Jiaozhu, Madame: subordinate additionally needs to accompany the White Dragon Envoy to Beijing to deal with this matter for Jiaozhu.”

The Cult Chief nodded; seeing that the Yellow Dragon Envoy was about to volunteer too, he stated, “Too many individuals already, I’m afraid the mission might be compromised. Solely the 2 of you’ll accompany. In every little thing, it’s essential to observe the White Dragon Envoy’s order, it’s essential to not disobey.”

Lu Gaoxuan and Fats Toutuo bowed and stated, “Subordinate will do as you bid.”

From her bosom Madame Hong took out a small multi-colored dragon, it was molded from ‘blue copper’ [i.e. bronze], yellow gold, scarlet copper, white silver, and black iron. “White Dragon Envoy,” she stated, “That is Jiaozhu’s 5-Dragon Command, I’m handing it over to you in the meanwhile. When the a number of tens of hundreds Cult members see this Command, it’s the identical as they see Jiaozhu in individual. In dealing with this vital matter, the life-and-death energy is being handed over to you. After rendering the meritorious service, it’s essential to return the Command.”

“Sure,” Wei Xiaobao stated, with each arms he respectfully acquired it, whereas in his coronary heart he mused, “I simply need to return to Beijing, and overlook about his Divine Dragon Cult or Vicious Tiger Cult. By taking this so-called 5-Dragon Command, any longer I’ll have extra bother.”

Madame Hong stated, “White Dragon Envoy, Lu Gaoxuan and Fats Toutuo, three folks keep, the remainder of you might be dismissed.”

Priest Wugen and the Black Dragon Envoy, Yellow Dragon Envoy, three folks saluted and withdrew.

Hong Jiaozhu took out a black porcelain bottle from his pocket and poured three vermillion crimson drugs out. He stated, “I commend you that utilizing excessive pressure of will, the three of you’ll go to Beijing on a mission, therefore I bestow every one in all you with a ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’.”

Instantly on Fats Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan’s faces appeared a delight blended with dread. Bending their proper knees, they expressed their gratitude, acquired the drugs, and swallowed it. Wei Xiaobao blindly imitated them, he acquired the ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’ and instantly swallowed it. Shortly afterward, he felt a burst of heat chi rising up in his abdomen, following the blood circulation, dispersing slowly into his 4 limbs and hundred bones of his physique; it was unspeakably comfy.

Madame Hong stated, “White Dragon Envoy could keep, the remainder of you might be dismissed.” Fats Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan, two folks withdrew.

Madame Hong smiled and stated, “White Dragon Envoy, what sort of weapon do you employ?”

Wei Xiaobao stated, “Subordinate’s martial artwork talent is shallow and minuscule, and haven’t studied any weapon. I solely have a dagger to guard myself.”

“Let me have a look at it,” Madame Hong stated.

Wei Xiaobao pulled the dagger from his boot, turned the hilt round and offered it with each arms. Madame Hong took it. After inspecting it, she praised, “Good dagger!” Pulling a strand of her hair, she let it go. The hair slowly dropped on the sting of the blade, and was reduce into two. “Good!” the Cult Chief additionally praised.

In time period of non-public character, Wei Xiaobao didn’t have any robust factors, however he had all the time regarded wealth and worldly possessions extraordinarily frivolously; seeing Madame Hong was very delighted with the dagger, he thought that if he needed to flatter her, he must go all out. He stated, “Subordinate presents this dagger to Madame. The frequent saying says it nicely: rouge and treasured sword should … have to be offered to stunning lady. Among the many stunning girls on the earth, nobody is extra stunning than Madame.” He had heard the storyteller stated it many instances, ‘the treasured sword have to be offered to the martyr, the crimson powder have to be offered to stunning lady.’ However these two phrases have been just too tough, he couldn’t bear in mind every little thing clearly.

Madame Hong giggled tenderly and stated, “Good youngster, you might be loyal to us; you aren’t merely making empty guarantees. I haven’t got something good to present you, how can I take a toddler’s belonging? Let me settle for your good intention with gratitude. Come, I’m going to show you three self-defense and life-saving kinds, it’s known as the ‘Beauties’ Three Strikes’. I need you to study it by coronary heart.”

She stepped down from her seat, took out a handkerchief, and tied the dagger to the skin of her proper calf. “Jiaozhu,” she stated with fun, “I must toil your honorable self to assist me exhibit this martial artwork fashion.”

With a chuckle Hong Jiaozhu strolled over. Out of the blue he reached out along with his left hand and grabbed the again of Madame’s neck, and lifted her up within the air. “Ah!” it occurred so quick, Wei Xiaobao was so shocked that he cried out.

Madame Hong bent her physique barely, she twisted her slender waist, and kicked backward along with her left leg towards the Cult Chief’s decrease stomach. The Cult Chief pulled again to evade. Madame Hong seized the chance to show round and wrapped her left arm round Jiaozhu’s neck. Unexpectedly her proper hand grabbed the dagger and stabbed it towards the center of Jiaozhu’s again. “That is the primary transfer,” she stated with fun, “It is known as ‘the imperial concubine’s retrospect’. Keep in mind this.”

The transfer was very neat and agile, Wei Xiaobao watched with ‘coronary heart untroubled, spirit happy’. “Great!” he cheered loudly, whereas pondering, “When Fats Toutuo grabbed me and lifted me up the opposite day, I didn’t have in the least of method. If I had realized this transfer early on, I might have stabbed him to dying.”

The Cult Chief gently laid Madame Hong on the bottom. Madame Hong tied the dagger again on the skin of her calf and lay going through down on the ground. Jiaozhu stretched out his proper foot to step on her decrease again. Pretending he was holding a knife in his hand, he positioned his hand behind her neck and stated with fun, “Do you give up?”

Wei Xiaobao thought, “On this scenario, what can I do? Naturally I might name out loudly ‘Give up’.”

Out of the blue he noticed Madame pulled her head towards her personal chest, naturally the enemy’s knife threatening her neck fell into empty air. Seizing this chance, she rolled on the bottom and drilled via below Jiaozhu’s crotch. Grabbing the dagger along with her proper hand, as soon as once more she punched the center of Jiaozhu’s again, solely the sharp level of the dagger was going through up. If it have been actual enemy, this dagger would naturally pierce the enemy’s again.

Wei Xiaobao loudly cheered once more, “Good!”

Jiaozhu waited for her to tie the dagger once more earlier than pulling each of her arms behind her again. Together with his left hand he held each of her wrists; pretending to carry a weapon in his proper hand, he positioned the weapon on her delicate, white neck, whereas saying with fun, “This time you’ll be able to’t run away.”

Madame additionally laughed and stated, “Watch fastidiously!” Her proper foot kicked ahead frivolously, a white mild flashed, the dagger had already reduce off the handkerchief tying it to her calf and flew away. She hooked along with her proper foot and nudged the hilt of the dagger. The dagger shot swiftly again towards her throat.

“Cautious!” Wei Xiaobao cried out in concern. He noticed she shrank her physique down, the dagger shot swiftly towards the Cult Chief’s chest. The Cult Chief let her arms go and threw his physique again with face up within the ‘iron panel bridge’ stance. ‘Pop!’ the dagger flitted throughout his chest and penetrated the bamboo wall behind him, straight as much as the hilt.

When Madame Hong hooked along with her foot and kicked the dagger, Wei Xiaobao had already jumped in fright. When he noticed the dagger was flying towards her throat, she appeared not be capable of evade, however then the dagger flew towards the pit of Jiaozhu’s abdomen; this time he was positive the dagger would hit him, however unexpectedly Jiaozhu was in a position to dodge. These turns of occasions have been extraordinarily harmful that simply by watching from the facet, Wei Xiaobao was surprised with ‘coronary heart alarmed, trembling in concern’, and the phrase ‘Good’ that was already in his throat couldn’t get out.

Madame Hong laughed. “What do you suppose?” she requested.

Wei Xiaobao reached out to seize the again of a chair as if he was about to fall. “It scared me to dying,” he stated.

Hong Jiaozhu, Hong Antong, and Madame noticed his paled countenance, indicating he was terribly frightened. Listening to his phrases, they have been extra delighted than listening to at least one thousand, ten thousand phrases of reward. These two folks had superior martial artwork talent, simply one other phrase of reward from a bit youngster was not sufficient to make them happier, however seeing he was so involved, they knew he was actually loyal to them. Madame Hong requested a rhetorical query, “The dagger was not shot towards you, what are you frightened of?”

“I used to be afraid … I used to be afraid it could damage Madame and … and Jiaozhu,” Wei Xiaobao replied.

Madame Hong laughed. “Foolish child,” she stated, “How may it simply damage Jiaozhu? This transfer is known as ‘the flying swallow circle round overhead’. It isn’t very simple to observe. Jiaozhu’s divine talent is unrivalled, even when he didn’t understand it beforehand, this transfer will not damage him. However on the earth, apart from him, I’m afraid the variety of people who find themselves in a position to dodge this shock strike is just not too many.”

Instantly she defined in particulars the method to observe the ‘Beauties’ Three Strikes’. Though the fashion solely had three strikes, all 4 limbs of the physique have been closely concerned; she taught him the best way to pull the dagger, the best way to pull down the top, the pace, the place, the pressure, in addition to the accuracy of the actions, have to be simply good.

The second transfer, the place she lay on the bottom, was known as the ‘Xiao Lian [lit. little pity] lies in disarray’. Madame Hong defined, “This ‘Beauties’ Three Strikes’ makes use of the names of the beauties of the traditional instances. If it was practiced by a person, unavoidably it could be moderately indecent; fortunately you might be solely a toddler, so it is not an enormous deal.”

Wei Xiaobao realized each transfer and each fashion, whereas Madame Hong patiently and thoroughly correcting his errors. After instructing him for greater than two hours she lastly thought-about it sufficient. However she insisted that Wei Xiaobao should be capable of use it completely, he should practice exhausting for a very long time, particularly the third transfer ‘the flying swallow circle round overhead’; a slight mistake, he would have killed himself. Madame Hong instructed him to make a blunt dagger product of lead, the scale and the load have to be the identical as his dagger, for use throughout observe.

In entrance of the Cult members, often Hong Antong was very critical in sustaining his dignity, he wouldn’t casually converse or chortle; however this time, as he accompanied his spouse instructing Wei Xiaobao, he stored chuckling whereas watching from the facet, he was surprisingly affected person. When Madame completed instructing, he stated, “Madame’s ‘Beauties’ Three Strikes’ is certainly formidable, however it’s meant to kill. Let me train you the ‘Heroes’ Three Strikes’, with the aim of subduing the enemy, useless or alive.”

Wei Xiaobao was enormously delighted; he kneeled down and stated, “Thanks Jiaozhu.”

Madame Hong laughed and stated, “I’ve by no means heard about your ‘Heroes’ Three Strikes’. You might be instructing it to your disciple, however you didn’t train it to me.”

Hong Antong stated with fun, “Simply now I watched your ‘Beauties’ Three Strikes’ and got here up with it, I do not know whether or not it should work. I need you to present me instructions.”

Madame Hong solid him a sidelong look. “Aiyo,” she stated with a fascinating smile, “Our Nice Jiaozhu is teasing me.”

Hong Antong stated, “From the start heroes can by no means go the barrier of beauties. It is solely pure that ‘Heroes’ Three Strikes’ can not surpass ‘Beauties’ Three Strikes’.”

Madame Hong burst into one other enchanting laughter. “In entrance of a kid, you continue to say this type of speak?” she stated in a young voice.

Hong Antong realized he had considerably forgotten his manners. He coughed and with a solemn expression stated, “The White Dragon Envoy is younger, when he struggle, it is going to be simple for the enemy to seize the again of his neck and carry him up. Madame, let’s fake I’m the White Dragon Envoy.”

Madame Hong laughed and stated, “You need to promise to not damage me.”

“Naturally,” Hong Antong replied.

Madame Hong stretched out her left hand to seize him and carry him up. Hong Antong was tall and powerfully constructed, maybe he weighed round 100 and seventy or eighty catties. Madame Hong seemed frail and timid, unexpectedly she was in a position to carry him up seemingly with none effort.

“Watch fastidiously!” Hong Antong stated. His left hand slowly reached again and scratched beneath Madame Hong’s left armpit. Madame Hong giggled, her physique turned delicate. Hong Antong’s left hand grasped her armpit, his proper hand slowly turned again to seize her collar, after which slowly he lifted her up excessive of his personal head, and gently flung her away. When Madame Hong’s physique touched the bottom, it slipped away as if she was floating on the water floor. Madame Hong didn’t cease laughing, when her physique stopped transferring, she was nonetheless mendacity down on the ground, unable to face up.

Simply now Hong Antong scratched beneath her armpit, reached again and grabbed her, and flung her away, every motion was very sluggish, Wei Xiaobao was in a position to see every little thing clearly. He noticed his actions have been elegant, and unspeakably engaging; though he moved slowly, it was very environment friendly. The scratch, the seize, and the throw have been superb; in comparison with Madame Hong’s quick and nimble actions, clearly it was a number of instances harder.

Madame Hong laughed and stated, “You tickled me. What sort of hero was that?” Whereas saying that, she slowly stood up.

Hong Antong smiled and stated, “It was a real hero’s motion. Naturally I didn’t imply to tickle you, but when the White Dragon Envoy was grabbed and lifted up by the enemy, his ‘da zhui’ [big spine] acupoint should even be caught by the enemy. It’s the place the three ‘yang du’ [positive control] arteries of the arms and ft meet, his complete physique will devoid of any energy, all he can do is utilizing his finger to frivolously scratching the enemy’s ‘ji quan’ [extreme spring] acupoint beneath his armpit. This acupoint belongs to the hand’s ‘shao yang’ [lesser yang] channel, the enemy may have no selection however to let go. If the White Dragon Envoy has the energy, he may fling the enemy over his head, whereas on the identical time seal the ‘xiao hai’ [little ocean] acupoint behind the enemy’s elbow and ‘ji quan’ acupoint beneath his armpit, in order that when he was thrown to the bottom, he will not be capable of transfer a single step.”

Wei Xiaobao clapped his arms and stated with fun, “This transfer is actually superb.”

Hong Antong stated, “After you observe it nicely, execute the transfer the quicker the higher.” After which he lay on the ground. Madame Hong stretched out her foot to closely step on his decrease again. Together with her proper hand she reached the door bolt leaning towards the wall subsequent to the door, and she or he positioned it on his neck. With a candy and tender voice she laughed and stated, “Do you give up?”

Hong Antong laughed and stated, “I already surrendered way back! Let me kowtow to you.” He pulled his legs as if he was about to kowtow, however his proper arm slowly reached horizontally ahead to the touch the door bolt. ‘Crack!’ the door bolt unexpectedly broke.

Wei Xiaobao jumped in fright. If Hong Antong’s arm moved quickly, primarily based on his martial artwork talent, it could not be unusual if he may strike the door bolt damaged. However he was transferring slowly and he solely touched the door bolt, but unexpectedly the door bolt broke; it was certainly past his expectation.

Hong Antong stated, “Pull your legs pretending to kowtow, take the chance to drag your dagger. Though your arms do not need inner vitality like mine, however your dagger is exceptionally sharp, no matter weapon the enemy has, you’ll be able to reduce and break it.” Whereas his mouth was busy explaining, his physique immediately tumbled between Madame Hong’s legs.

Wei Xiaobao was startled; he thought Hong Antong was a revered Cult Chief, how may he crawl in between a lady’s legs? Though she was his personal spouse, it could nonetheless be improper. To his shock, nevertheless, Hong Antong was not likely crawling, he was simply placing an angle, along with his left hand he grasped Madame’s proper ankle, along with his proper hand he pretended to strike her decrease stomach, whereas saying, “Together with your dagger that may reduce iron like mud, even when the enemy has gargantuan guts, he will not dare to battle.” Completed talking, he slowly stood up, bringing Madame Hong together with head down, ft up. Madame Hong laughed and stated, “Rapidly let me go, what are you doing?”

Hong Antong laughed aloud, he wrapped his proper arm round her waist and let her go. He stated, “White Dragon Envoy, you might be quick, you will not be capable of carry the enemy, however you’ll be able to seize his ankle and pull him. Even if you happen to can not carry him up, along with your dagger on his decrease stomach, the enemy will not have any selection however give up. After which you’ll be able to kick the ‘shen zang’ [divine reservoir], ‘shen feng’ [divine seal], ‘bu lang’ [walkway/corridor] acupoints on the pit of his abdomen a number of instances, to protect towards him retaliating.”

Wei Xiaobao was enormously delighted. “Sure, sure!” he stated, “I have to kick him.”

Hong Antong put his arms behind his again, letting the Madame seize him. Madame Hong picked the half damaged door bolt and positioned it on his neck. Hong Antong laughed and stated, “The enemy is seizing my arms, naturally the primary arteries on my wrists are being held, rendering my arms incapable. It is exhausting to strike again. On this scenario, it ought to have been finest to make use of your leg …”

Earlier than he even completed talking, “Ah!” Madame Hong screamed. She laughed and let her arms go, after which leaped again. With a blushing face she stated, “You need to not train a toddler to make use of such an obscene transfer.”

Hong Antong laughed and stated, “What’s so obscene concerning the ‘Pulling-up Yin Kick’?” His face turned critical as he continued, “The genital is a crucial level on a human physique, it may be deadly when hit. All the celebrated colleges and massive sects usually have this ‘Pulling-up Yin Kick’ transfer inside their punching and kicking strategies. Shaolin Pai has it, Wudang Pai additionally has it; nothing uncommon. It is simply that the enemy is behind you, each of your arms are below the enemy’s management, and there’s a blade in your neck; your solely selection is to make use of the ‘Pulling-up Yin Again Kick’.”

Talking up to now, he paused for a second earlier than persevering with, “However the enemy will need to have guarded towards you utilizing this transfer. As quickly as he sees your leg strikes, almost certainly he would chop your little head down first. Consequently, this ‘Pulling-up Yin Again Kick’ could also be fairly ineffective.”

He put his arms behind his again once more and let Madame Hong held his wrists. Out of the blue he bent all ten of his fingers, forming a half sphere, after which he threw his complete physique backward, whereas all ten of his fingers grabbed Madame Hong’s breasts.

Madame Hong rapidly stepped again, therefore she was pressured to launch her grip. She spat and stated, “What sort of hero’s transfer is that this?”

Exhibiting a faint smile, Hong Antong stated, “The ‘ru zhong’ [breast center] and ‘ru gen’ [breast root] acupoints on human’s chest, does not matter on males or girls, are two deadly main acupoints. White Dragon Envoy, for the reason that enemy can seize your arms behind your again, clearly his martial artwork talent is just not weak; in addition to, almost certainly he has seized the acupoint in your wrists. However even when he did, it isn’t an enormous deal; as quickly as he sees you making this transfer, he would involuntary step again. By the point he remembers that your arms do not need any energy, he’s already one step too late. Madame, seize my arms once more.”

Madame Hong took two steps ahead and gently tapped the again of his hand, after which she reached out along with her left hand to seize his wrists, whereas leaning her higher physique backward to keep away from his fingers from bumping towards her chest.

“Watch fastidiously!” Hong Antong stated. Once more he threw his physique backward, whereas his ten fingers made a faux transfer towards her chest. Madame Hong knew this seize was a faux transfer, however she nonetheless pulled again to evade. Hong Antong immediately made a somersault, his physique leaped backward, his legs parted, and he landed on her shoulder, whereas the thumbs of each arms urgent on her ‘tai yang’ [sun] acupoint [temples], index fingers urgent on her eyebrows, and center fingers on her eyes. He stated, “If I add a bit extra energy to my center fingers, I’ll poke the enemy’s eyes blind; if I add a bit extra energy to my thumbs, the enemy will go out. However I have to guard towards the enemy’s counterattack.”

He made one other somersault within the air, and jumped greater than a zhang backward. His proper hand reached towards his calf, pretending to drag out the dagger. With the dagger pointing outward, left palm slanting up, he stated, “For those who poke the enemy’s eyes and blind him, the pressure with which he would use to throw you off have to be incomparably formidable. You need to guard towards him making an attempt to seize you firmly and will not allow you to go.”

Wei Xiaobao noticed that this transfer was actually sophisticated, identical to a group of clowns within the circus making an attempt to impress laughter, however it was very efficient to dodge the enemy’s blade and maintain the enemy’s important factors below management. He sighed and stated, “This transfer is actually good, however it is vitally tough to study.”

Hong Antong stated, “Though I solely train you three strikes, these strikes include qin na, acupoint sealing, and lightness, three kinds of martial artwork talent. If even one is just not educated correctly, these three strikes can’t be used. Talking about qin na, acupoint sealing, and lightness abilities, every one wants ten years, eight years of coaching. However you solely need to study components which are related to those three strikes, it’s a lot simpler.”

Instantly he defined the place of the acupoints, the qin na method, and the best way to exert energy to the legs in lightness talent. He informed Wei Xiaobao to strive it a number of instances and corrected the errors one after the other. Solely Wei Xiaobao didn’t dare to journey on his neck, Hong Antong additionally didn’t inform him to strive that transfer.

“Jiaozhu,” Madame Hong stated, “My ‘Beauties’ Three Strikes’ have been taught to me by Shifu, previously I needed to endure ‘a thousand hammer 100 refinery’ earlier than I bought it proper. Your ‘Heroes’ Three Strikes’, then again, seemingly seem out of nowhere, it was created at will, but it’s much more formidable than my ‘Beauties’ Three Strikes’. I’m not making an attempt to flatter you in your face, however nice scholar revered for studying and integrity, a martial artwork grasp with profound information, is certainly worthy of different folks’s admiration.”

Hong Antong cupped his fist and stated with fun, “Madame’s inaccurate reward, I actually don’t dare to simply accept.”

Within the corridor yesterday, seeing Hong Antong neither talked nor laughed, as if he was solely a picket puppet, in his coronary heart Wei Xiaobao was holding him in utter contempt; he was already pondering, “An outdated man who appear like a silly blockhead, why is everyone so afraid of him?” However now that he had seen his true martial artwork talent, his thoughts was mounted and he had little question in any respect that this man certainly deserved to be admired; he stated, “Coaching a sure talent handed on by Shifu till it’s utterly mastered can’t be thought-about unusual; Jiaozhu was simply fascinated about sure transfer and he is ready to execute it casually identical to that, now that may be thought-about unmatched on the earth.”

“Why do you think about it unmatched on the earth?” Madame Hong requested.

Wei Xiaobao stated, “Even when the enemy’s talent was greater, Jiaozhu would merely use a number of new strikes, the enemy wouldn’t acknowledge it, he would don’t have any selection however to cry out loud ‘Give up!'”

Hong Antong and Madame laughed aloud. One nodded barely, the opposite one stated, “That is true.”

“Jiaozhu,” Madame Hong stated, “My ‘Beauties’ Three Strikes’ have three beauties’ names, your ‘Heroes’ Three Strikes’ are very formidable, they need to even have three large heroes’ names.”

Hong Antong smiled and stated, “Alright, let me suppose. The primary transfer is lifting up the enemy; that was Lintong lifting up Wu Zixu’s cauldron. Let’s name it ‘Zixu lifting up the cauldron’.”

Madame Hong stated, “Good, Wu Zixu was a terrific hero.”

Hong Antong stated, “The second transfer throws the enemy down and pull him up; that was Lu Zhishen felling and pulling the weeping willow, let’s name it ‘Lu reaching and pulling the willow’.”

“Superb,” Madame Hong stated, “Lu Zhishen was a terrific hero. Though your third transfer was ingenious, it carries a bit little bit of scoundrel or idler’s taste, it doesn’t appear to be too heroic …” Talking up to now, she broke into a young giggle.

Hong Antong laughed and stated, “What do you imply not too heroic? What sort of transfer would you name ‘good’ then? Hmm, my two index fingers have been resting in your eyebrows; that was ‘Zhang Chang drawing eyebrows’.”

Madame Hong laughed and stated, “Zhang Chang was not a hero; it was his spouse who drew his eyebrows. Would you name {that a} heroic transfer?”

Hong Antong laughed and stated, “He was having enjoyable within the woman’s chamber, and thus had his eyebrows drawn. Are you saying that by having his spouse draw his eyebrows he was not a hero?” Madame Hong’s cheeks blushed deep crimson; she shook her head.

Wei Xiaobao didn’t know which historic character this Zhang Chang was, he thought that by having his eyebrows drawn by his spouse, not solely he was not a hero, he was merely a coward man who was afraid of his spouse. He didn’t perceive that Hong Antong was utilizing expression from literature to tease his spouse. “Jiaozhu,” he stated, “On this third transfer you have been using on the enemy’s neck. There have been so many nice heroes who journey a horse. Guan Yunchang rode a scarlet rabbit horse, Qin Shubao rode a chestnut horse.”

Hong Antong laughed and stated, “That is proper, however Guan Yunchang’s scarlet rabbit horse initially belonged to Lu Bu. Qin Qiong additionally offered his chestnut horse. Each aren’t too applicable. I bought it, on this transfer Di Qing was taming the steed [orig. ‘dragon colt’], a treasured horse; let’s name it ‘Di Qing subduing the dragon’. The dear horse he was subduing was initially a dragon incarnated.”

Madame Hong clapped her arms, “Great!” she stated, “When Di Qing went into battle, he all the time wore bronze satan masks to frighten the barbarian troops that they screamed in terror and fled into the wilderness; naturally he was a terrific hero. It is simply that we’re known as Divine Dragon Cult …”

Hong Jiaozhu smiled and stated, “It does not matter. There might be time that even a dragon might be subdued by somebody till he’s docile.”

“Pei!” Madame Hong spat, her complete face blushed, her stunning and glistening eyes have been stuffed attraction.

Instantly Wei Xiaobao practiced the ‘Beauties’ Three Strikes’ and ‘Heroes’ Three Strikes’ one after the other. At any time when his method or stance was incorrect, Hong Antong and Madame would give him extra instructions. These six strikes have been actually ingenious; it was tough for Wei Xiaobao to grasp it abruptly. Hong Jiaozhu informed him to not fear, he solely wanted to know the coaching method, when the time got here, he would grasp it by himself.

By the point the instruction was completed, it was already midday. Madame Hong was decided to not settle for the dagger; she gave it again to Wei Xiaobao whereas saying, “You haven’t mastered the martial artwork talent, this time you might be on mission for Jiaozhu, it’s essential to have this type of sharp weapon to guard your self.” After which she added, “White Dragon Envoy, in our Cult, apart from myself, you’re the just one who has acquired Jiaozhu’s private instruction.”

Wei Xiaobao stated, “That’s actually subordinate’s luck, which I cultivated over I do not know what number of incarnations.”

Madame Hong stated, “By being loyal to Jiaozhu in dealing with this matter, you might be repaying Jiaozhu’s benevolence.”

“Sure,” Wei Xiaobao replied.

“It’s possible you’ll depart now,” Madame Hong stated, “Early within the morning tomorrow, you go onboard the ship and depart with Fats Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan; you needn’t come right here to say goodbye once more.”

Wei Xiaobao complied. He respectfully saluted the 2 folks earlier than turning round. When he reached the door, he turned his head and stated, “Madame, if I reside to be 80 years outdated, how about Jiaozhu and Madame train me three extra strikes?”

Madame Hong was barely startled, however she understood instantly that it was his manner of well-wishing and reward. Proper now he was solely 13, fourteen years outdated, it could be sixty extra years earlier than he reached eighty, however Jiaozhu and she or he had lengthy lives, which have been the identical because the heavens’, so it was solely correct that they need to reside sixty extra years. She giggled and stated, “I promise you. In your eightieth birthday, Jiaozhu and I’ll train you three extra strikes. While you attain the lengthy lifetime of 100 years, we’ll train you three extra strikes; it is going to be known as ‘Previous Shouxing’s three strikes'[106], ‘Previous Grandma’s three strikes’.”

“No,” Wei Xiaobao stated, “At the moment, Madame might be as younger and exquisite as in the present day, almost certainly Madame and Jiaozhu will look a bit youthful. The strikes you train me might be … might be … ‘Golden Boy’s three strikes’, ‘Jade Maiden’s three strikes’.” Hong Antong and Madame burst out in laughter.

Fats Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan, two folks, have been sitting on a mountain rock exterior the corridor, they’d been ready for a very long time, however all alongside didn’t see Wei Xiaobao popping out of the corridor. They have been puzzled and anxious, not figuring out what sort of unexpected occasion had occurred. After they noticed his smiling expression as he went out, they have been relieved. They needed to ask, however didn’t dare to ask. Wei Xiaobao defined, “Jiaozhu and Madame have taught me not a couple of of fantastic martial artwork abilities.”

Fats Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan stated collectively, “Congratulations White Dragon Envoy. In our Cult, apart from Madame, Jiaozhu has by no means taught anyone one transfer or half a method.”

Feeling extraordinarily smug, Wei Xiaobao stated, “Jiaozhu and Madame additionally stated the identical factor.”

Lu Gaoxuan stated, “White Dragon Envoy is lucky to get pleasure from Jiaozhu’s favor, certainly it has by no means occurred since our Cult was based.” After casting a look towards Fats Toutuo, he requested Wei Xiaobao, “Have Jiaozhu and Madame ever talked about when they’ll bestow us the antidote of the ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’?”

Wei Xiaobao was shocked, “There may be an antidote for this ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’?” he requested, “Are you saying … are you saying … this can be a poison?”

“I can not say that it’s a poison,” Lu Gaoxuan replied, “Allow us to go dwelling and speak in particulars.” He solid a number of glances towards the bamboo corridor, his face revealed a cautious blended with dread expression.

The three of them returned to the Lu household’s dwelling. Seeing the Fats and Lu, two folks’s gloomy expression, Wei Xiaobao grew suspicious; he requested, “Simply what is definitely this ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’? Is it poison, or is it miracle tablet?”

Fats Toutuo sighed and stated, “Whether or not it’s a poison or a miracle tablet, we’ll simply have to attend and see! The lives of ours, three folks, are solely within the White Dragon Envoy’s arms.”

Wei Xiaobao was startled, “Why?” he requested.

Fats Toutuo checked out Lu Gaoxuan, Lu Gaoxuan nodded his head, Fats Toutuo stated, “White Dragon Envoy, when individuals are being well mannered to me, they name me Fats Zunzhe [Revered Monk]. When they don’t seem to be being well mannered, they might name me Fats Toutuo. However I’m this skinny, the title utterly doesn’t mirror the truth. Do not you suppose it’s a bit unusual?”

“That is proper,” Wei Xiaobao stated, “I’ve been questioning for some time, I believed different folks have been simply joking with you, so that they name you that title. However Jiaozhu additionally calls you Fats Toutuo, the Senior cannot be joking with you.”

Fats Toutuo heaved a deep sigh; he stated, “That is the second time I took the ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’; I’m actually hovering between life and dying, till now I nonetheless usually have nightmares about it. Initially I used to be very quick and really fats. The title ‘Fats Toutuo’, three characters is a nicely deserved fame.”

“Ah,” Wei Xiaobao stated, “After taking the ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’ you turned tall and skinny? That is excellent! Proper now your look is grand, whereas beforehand you have been quick and fats, definitely it was not so good as now?”

With a bitter chortle Fats Toutuo stated, “You bought it proper. However give it some thought: a brief and fats man, inside three months my physique was immediately being stretched three chi, the pores and skin on my complete physique was dripping blood; do you suppose it feels good? If not my luck was good, lastly I reached Divine Dragon Island, and Jiaozhu was exhibiting me nice mercy by giving me the antidote, I’m afraid I might have grown two extra chi.”

Wei Xiaobao was unable to restrain his amazement; he stated, “The three of us have additionally taken this tablet. For me to develop two extra chi is just not an enormous deal, however if you happen to develop two extra chi, you … you may be too tall.”

Fats Toutuo stated, “The impact of this ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’ is actually superb, inside one 12 months after taking it, it may make the physique robust and wholesome; but when on the finish of a 12 months the antidote is just not given, the violent facet impact will flare up immediately. Really, it doesn’t essentially stretch human physique. My Shige, Skinny Toutuo was initially very tall, but he immediately turned quick. Initially he was skinny, but he swelled unbearably and was a very fats individual.”

Wei Xiaobao laughed and stated, “You, Fats Zunzhe has was Skinny Zunzhe, the Skinny Zunzhe has develop into Fats Zunzhe. If the 2 of you swap names, will not all of your issues disappear?”

An indignant look appeared on Fats Toutuo’s face; he shook his head and stated, “That will not do.”

Wei Xiaobao promptly apologized, “I’m sorry Fats Zunzhe, I used to be incorrect; please don’t get offended.”

Fats Toutuo stated, “You might be wielding the 5-Dragon Command, I’m your subordinate, even if you happen to beat me or curse me, I can not revolt; a lot much less you didn’t deliberately need to damage me. My Shixiong and I’ve considerably totally different temperament, character, look and voice, simply by swapping the title ‘Skinny’ and ‘Fats’ won’t change Fats Zunzhe into Skinny Zunzhe, and alter Skinny Zunzhe into Fats Zunzhe.”

Wei Xiaobao nodded his head and stated, “So that is what occurred.”

Fats Toutuo continued, “5 years in the past, Jiaozhu despatched Shige and I on a mission. That mission was very ‘thorny’; by the point we completed it, we have been already three days overdue. Instantly we embarked the boat and returned to the Island. On the boat the medication immediately flared up, the struggling was very tough to bear. Shige’s temperament was very violent, his anger flared and in his insanity, he kicked and broke the mast of the boat. The ship then drifted on the ocean. Day-to-day handed, I grew taller and taller, and thinner and thinner; he grew shorter and shorter, and fatter and fatter. This ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’ can stretch a brief and fats individual tall and slim, and press a tall and skinny individual quick and fats; Hong Jiaozhu certainly has an especially huge magical energy. We have been drifting like that for greater than two months, at the moment it was exhausting to say if the 2 of us would survive. We’ve completed consuming the supply on the boat, we’ve killed the helmsman and the sailors one after the other and ate them. By a struck of sheer luck we got here throughout one other boat, and have been saved. We pressured that boat to take us to the Divine Dragon Island instantly. Jiaozhu knew we completed the mission correctly and didn’t tarry intentionally; thereupon he bestowed us with the antidote. It could possibly be stated that our two lives have simply been snatched again.”

Lu Gaoxuan stated, “If we will get hold of all eight copies of the Sutra, nothing cannot be higher; however is not it simpler stated than accomplished? So long as we handle to get one or two copies and hurry again, naturally Jiaozhu will bestow the antidote.”

Wei Xiaobao mused, “I’ve six copies in my hand, after I actually need to different, what’s so tough to half with one or two copies to present to Jiaozhu?” Instantly he felt relieved and stated with fun, “If Jiaozhu doesn’t give us the antidote this time, perhaps we, the younger will develop into outdated, the outdated will develop into younger. I’ll flip right into a seventy, eighty years outdated man, the 2 of you’ll flip into little infants; will not that be very fascinating?”

Lu Gaoxuan’s physique trembled; he stated, “That … that is completely should not occur.” His voice was crammed with terror. He continued, “I’ve single-mindedly contemplated over this, likely the ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’ was product of leopard fetus, deer fetus, the placenta, seal kidney, and different vital complement and uncommon drug components to induce progress, blended and refined collectively. The drug property is clearly to reverse the unique physique’s attribute. I’m guessing that when Jiaozhu manufactured this drug, his intention was to get better human’s youthful vigor, however when he examined it on another person, the impact didn’t precisely observe his coronary heart’s wishes; subsequently … subsequently …”

Wei Xiaobao picked up, “Subsequently, Jiaozhu didn’t personally take the drug, however apply it to his subordinates.”

Lu Gaoxuan unexpectedly stated, “That is solely my wild guess, it should not be thought-about as the reality. I’m asking White Dragon Envoy by no means to lift this subject once more.”

“The 2 of it’s possible you’ll set your hearts relaxed,” Wei Xiaobao stated, “I assure that Jiaozhu will certainly give us the antidote. Please sit down, I’ve one thing to say to Miss Fang.” He noticed Mu Jianping the opposite day, therefore he was keen to inform Fang Yi.

Lu Gaoxuan stated, “Madame Hong has already summoned Miss Fang, she says White Dragon Envoy to not fear, so long as you wholeheartedly deal with this matter for Jiaozhu, Miss Fang will solely have good issues on the island.”

Wei Xiaobao was startled, “Miss … Miss Fang is just not coming with us?” he requested.

“Madame Hong has already despatched somebody to fetch her,” Lu Gaoxuan stated, “She left a message to my spouse and that is what she informed her. Apart from, that Mu Jianping, Miss Mu of the Scarlet Dragon Gate is in the identical scenario.”

Wei Xiaobao groaned inwardly, only a second in the past he informed Priest Wugen that he needed to pick a number of folks from the Scarlet Dragon Gate to go along with him, naturally he had Mu Jianping in his thoughts; who would have thought that Madame Hong had already anticipated this? With a trembling voice he requested, “Madame … Madame doesn’t belief me?”

“That is our Cult’s rule,” Lu Gaoxuan replied, “Those that obtain orders from Jiaozhu to exit on mission can not take his household.”

With a pressured chortle Wei Xiaobao stated, “These two Misses aren’t my household.”

“Roughly, they’re,” Lu Gaoxuan stated.

Really, Wei Xiaobao was pondering that the following day he would go away the Island with Fang and Mu, two girls, and was so completely satisfied; however this on the spot he couldn’t assist however feeling dispirited. He mused, “Jiaozhu and Madame are certainly formidable, tying the ‘leopard embryo tendon altering tablet’ on my head[107] is just not sufficient, they nonetheless maintain my first and younger wives hostage.”

Early morning the next day, Wei Xiaobao had simply awakened when he heard the sound of bugle horn, lots of people have been calling out from exterior the door, “The White Dragon Gate disciples respectfully ship off Zhangmenshi on his journey, to deal with issues for Jiaozhu wholeheartedly.” This shout was adopted by the sound of drums, string devices and bamboo flutes.

Wei Xiaobao rushed out the door and noticed about three, 4 hundred folks have been lining up exterior the door. All of them wore white garments, younger and outdated alike. All people shouted in refrain, “Zhangmenshi will win victory on elevating the flag, may have on the spot success!”

After that, a number of dozen Cult members carrying blue garments additionally got here to ship off their performing Zhangmenshi, Fats Toutuo.

Wei Xiaobao’s spirit rose, instantly he felt invigorated. Along with Fats Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan, they board the ship. Whereas he was exchanging salute with Priest Wugen, Zhang Danyue, Yin Jin, and the others who had earlier to bid them farewell, immediately he heard the sound of hoof beats, two riders galloped towards the boat. The 2 riders have been carrying white garments, surprisingly, they have been Fang Yi and Mu Jianping, two girls. Wei Xiaobao was enormously delighted, his coronary heart was thumping madly as he mused, “May it’s that Madame has modified her thoughts and allow them to go along with me?”

Fang and Mu, two girls dismounted their horses and took a number of steps ahead. In a loud and clear voice Fang Yi stated, “We acquired Jiaozhu and Madame’s order to ship White Dragon Zhangmenshi off on his journey.”

Wei Xiaobao’s coronary heart sank, “They’re solely sending me off,” he thought.

Fang Yi bowed and stated, “Subordinates Fang Yi and Mu Jianping acquired order from Madame to switch from the Scarlet Dragon Gate to White Dragon Gate, we’re able to obtain White Dragon Envoy’s order.”

Wei Xiaobao was startled, however then he immediately noticed the sunshine, “Seems you … you’ve got been Shen Lengthy Jiao’s member below the Scarlet Dragon Gate. Alongside the best way you have been solely pretending on Jiaozhu’s order to deceive me into coming to the Divine Dragon Island. Fats Revered Monk failed to ask me, you got here to ask me utilizing a mild technique.” Desirous about it, he was very upset; initially he needed to say some intimate phrases with these two girls, however now he misplaced curiosity utterly. Out of the blue he remembered one thing and stated to Lu Gaoxuan, “Mr. Lu, that servant woman who attend to me, Shuang’er, ship somebody to get her, I need take her alongside on this journey.”

“This …” Lu Gaoxuan stated.

Wei Xiaobao was indignant, he shouted, “What ‘this’ or ‘that’? Get her, now!”

He shouted in a stern voice, Lu Gaoxuan didn’t dare to disobey. “Sure, sure!” he replied, and turned and stated one thing to the attendant onboard the boat. The attendant leaped on shore and dashed away. Not too lengthy afterwards, he noticed two riders rushed quickly over. The one on the entrance had a petite and slender determine, she was none apart from Shuang’er.

With out pulling the reins, she known as out, “Gongzi!” and leaped away from the saddle, frivolously and deftly landed on the bow of the boat. Within the eyes of Priest Wugen and the opposite martial artwork consultants, there was nothing extraordinary with this type of qing gong [lightness skill], however noticing that she was very younger, but her posture was very pleasing to the attention, all of them cheered.

At first, when Wei Xiaobao knew the boat was about to sail, he was afraid that Shuang’er had already fallen into some evil folks’s arms, and thus he was very anxious; though her martial artwork talent was robust, she was a younger youngster in any case. Not solely that, she was mild and refined by nature, and didn’t perceive the best way of the world. On the sea-going ship, she had nowhere to go, and would undoubtedly get the worst of it. Furthermore, realizing that Fang Yi was really a Divine Dragon Cult’s disciple, he immediately additionally realized that the boat with which they got here to the island naturally belonged to the Cult. Now that he noticed Shuang’er, he was very completely satisfied. He pulled her arms, however noticed that her countenance seemed wan and sallow, her eyes crimson and swollen, clearly she had been crying lots. “Did they bully you?” he unexpectedly requested.

“No, they … they did not,” Shuang’er replied, “I used to be solely worrying about Xianggong. They … they locked me up.”

“Alright!” Wei Xiaobao stated, “We’re going dwelling.”

Shuang’er stated, “In right here … there are a variety of toxic snakes,” whereas saying that, “Wah!” Shuang’er burst into tears once more.

Wei Xiaobao solid a look towards Fang Yi; he remembered she led him stroll into the forest and let him be bitten by the vipers. A great deal of synthetic gestures, every kind of candy speech and honeyed phrases on the boat, every little thing was a hypocrisy; he couldn’t assist however was livid. Casting a hateful look towards Fang Yi, he stated, “Set sail!”

Aboard, the sailors weighed the anchor; ashore, the firecrackers went off, the folks sending off their masters chorused, “Respectfully wishing White Dragon Envoy to win victory on elevating the flag, to have on the spot success and can arrange nice benefit for Jiaozhu!”

Benefiting from the honest wind, the boat hoisted its sail and slowly left the Island. All people on the shore shouted, “With Jiaozhu’s treasured instructing all the time in our hearts …”

Wei Xiaobao thought, “If I didn’t know Miss Fang had already entered the Cult, I might have missed her on a regular basis. This manner, I’ve nothing to fret about her.” But when he recalled Fang Yi’s touching tender sentiments, he couldn’t cease his coronary heart from feeling melancholy.
