You TanZhi noticed Xiao Feng and his occasion travelled north, they didn’t flip again in any respect, solely then was he sure that he will not die, he contemplated: “Why did that traitor not kill me? Hmmm, he look down on me, and thought that killing me will soiled his arms. He…he turned some sort of Lord in Liao Empire, it could be much more tough for me to take revenge any further. However not less than i discovered the whereabouts of this traitor.”

He lean down to choose up the quicklime bag, and went to search for the short-knife thrown apart by Xiao Feng’s horsewhip, all of the sudden he noticed an oilcloth bag inside the left vegetation, it was the very same bag retrieved by Xiao Feng from his bosom, he picked it up instantly and open the bag, inside was a guide, he flipped the pages of the guide, each web page had curvy writings, he didn’t perceive a single phrase from the writings. When Xiao Feng noticed this oilcloth bag he was considering of another person, he was absent minded, when he put this Tendon-Altering Sutra again into his bosom he did not safe it correctly, when his horse jolted off, the guide simply dropped into the vegetation and he did not understand it in any respect.

You TanZhi thought to himself: “That is likely Khitan textual content. The traitor carried this guide with him personally, it have to be one thing vastly priceless to him. I will not return it to him, let him fear about it, which is an efficient factor.” He felt a faint sense of satisfaction of revenge, he put the guide again into the oilcloth bag and stored it in his bosom after which travelled south.

At an early age he learnt martial arts from his father, however he had a skinny and frail physique, and weak muscular power, he was completely incompatible for the robust and fierce martial arts type of the You brothers, after studying martial arts for 3 years, his progress was minimal, he cannot declare to be the son of a well-known martial arts grasp along with his stage of ability. As he be taught until he was 12 years previous, You Ju was dishearten and he mentioned along with his brother You Ji. Each of them agreed: “Our You household produced this type of three-legged-cat ability, will not individuals snort till they mouth turn out to be slanted? Furthermore, if individuals know his the son and nephew of the Twin-You-Heroes of the JuXian manor, they will not maintain again and use their full power, they may kill him with a single stroke. It might be higher to let him examine literature in order to protect him life.” Thus from the age of 12, You TanZhi stopped studying martial arts and You Ju employed a tutor to show him tips on how to examine.

However he didn’t focus whereas learning, he was all the time imagining and day dreaming. His trainer mentioned: “Scholar Zhi, whereas studying, is it not a pleasure?” he replied: “It is determined by what you might be studying, Father taught me boxing, i used to be blissful whereas studying.” The trainer fumed: “Confucius was referring to scholarly studying, life nice enterprise, when did he referred to boxing and taking part in with spears?” You TanZhi replied: “Advantageous, you curse my father and uncle, you say my father shouldn’t be an excellent man as a result of he field and play with spears, i’ll go inform my father.” And he ultimately drove the trainer away in anger. This went on and he frequently drove all his academics away in anger, You Ju gave his son a number of beatings, however he turned much more obstinate and mischievous after every beating. You Ju noticed his son was unworthy, cussed and tough to show, he was at a loss, he might solely give a protracted sigh and pay no discover. Thus, You TanZhi is eighteen years previous now, though he got here from a well-known household, he was neither proficient in literature nor martial arts. His uncle and father dedicated suicide, his mom bangs her head on a pillar to die together with her husband, he was alone and helpless, and wandered round aimlessly, all he ever thought was to hunt Xiao Feng for revenge.

That day on the battle at JuXian manor, he hid behind a display wall and noticed the battle, he noticed clearly Qiao Feng’s look and form, and heard that he was a Khitan, he was muddle-headed and simply went looking north, alongside the best way he noticed a petty thief utilizing quicklime to blind his enemy, he felt this was an excellent methodology, he copied him and made a quicklime package deal. He was loitering across the borders when the Khitans captured him throughout their raid, unexpectedly he met Xiao Feng, and he even handle to throw the quicklime package deal, it may be mentioned his fortunate to the acute.

He contemplated: “Proper now an important factor is to flee so far as doable, do not let him seize me. I am going to catch a toxic snake or large centipede, then i’ll put it on his mattress, when his sleeping the bugs will chew him to dying. That younger woman … that younger woman, alas, she … she is so lovely!”

As he considered AhZi’s look. His chest heated up for no motive, and his face felt like an oven, he contemplated: “I do not know when i’ll get to see her pale face, the fragile and chic younger woman.”

He hung his head and took large steps, after some time he overtook the group of captives launched by Xiao Feng. A few of them invited him to journey with the group however he ignored them and travelled alone. After strolling for 10 li, his abdomen groaned in starvation, he go searching for one thing to eat, however there was nothing besides withered grass and snow on the grass plains, he contemplated: “If solely i used to be a cow or sheep, i can eat the grass and drink the snow water, i might be so blissful. En, but when i’m a bit of lamb, different individuals will slaughter my mom and father, the two previous lamb, and eat them, then ought to i take revenge? I can not stay below the identical sky as my enemy, after all i’ve to take revenge. However how ought to i do it? Use my 2 horns to bang these people who killed my mother and father? However these individuals rear animals for the aim of consuming them, the place is the logic in revenge?”

He was letting his creativeness run wild, all of the sudden he heard the sound of horse’s hoof, three Khitan troopers got here driving on horses, as soon as they noticed him, there was a rustle sound and so they slip a lasso over his neck, they pulled and the rope tighten. You TanZhi couldn’t keep his footing and fell down, the troopers drag him away. You TanZhi gave a couple of blood-curdling scream, instantly the rope round his neck tightens additional and he couldn’t scream anymore.

The Khitan troopers have been afraid the rope would possibly strangle him to dying, and so they instantly gradual the horse steps. You TanZhi struggled and bought up from the bottom, he loosen the lasso round his neck. A Khitan soldier gave a powerful tug, You TanZhi staggered and virtually fell down once more. The three Khitan troopers laughed at him. The soldier holding onto the ropes mentioned a couple of phrases to You TanZhi. You TanZhi didn’t perceive Khitan, he shook his head. The solider wave his hand and the horse transfer off once more, however this time it didn’t gallop off shortly. You TanZhi was afraid of being strangled by the ropes and lose his breath, he stroll two steps and run three steps to comply with the troopers.

He noticed the three Khitan troopers heading north, he was afraid: “Qiao Feng solely worded it properly, he mentioned he would launch me, however in a blink of an eye fixed he ordered his subordinates to seize me again, how will i survive?” After leaving residence and heading north, all he ever considered was revenge, he didn’t know the impossibility of the duty, when he noticed Xiao Feng, the tragic dying of his mother and father muddled his head, with a burst of effort he considered utilizing quicklime to blind him, after which he’ll use the short-knife to stab him to dying. However he failed on the primary strike and misplaced his drive, he instantly considered escaping however he bought captured by Khitan troopers once more.

Initially when he was captured in the course of the preliminary raid, he was blended into the group, he solely bought hit as soon as on his again by the again of a blade. However the scenario now could be vastly totally different, he staggered and collided with objects as he was dragged alongside, he was breathless, he fell down each ten steps, each time he falls, the lasso will go away one other bloodstained line on the again of his neck. The Khitans didn’t cease for even a second, they didn’t care about his security and dragged him straight again into Nanjing metropolis. When he entered town, You TanZhi was drenched with blood, he prayed that he might merely die as an alternative of struggling this distress.

The three Khitan troopers travelled for a couple of li within the metropolis, they dragged him earlier than an enormous home, You TanZhi noticed the ground was lined with bluestone tiles, the pillars have been thick and doorways have been excessive, he do not know the place he was. After ready for lower than the time required to brew tea, the soldier holding the rope rode his horse and entered an enormous courtyard, all of the sudden he gave a whistle, the horse gallop off shortly. You TanZhi didn’t count on this, the soldier went across the courtyard 3 times, the horse gallop sooner and sooner, round ten troopers have been cheering and spectating on the sides. You TanZhi thought: “It appears they need to drag me round until i die!” his brow, limbs and physique collided with the bluestone ground, he was aching all over the place.

Among the many laughter of the Khitan troopers, there was a crisp laughter of a feminine blended in. You TanZhi was drowsy, he faintly heard the feminine snort and mentioned: “Ha ha, i’m afraid this human-kite will not fly in any respect!” You TanZhi contemplated: “What human-kite?”

At this second, the rope tighten across the again of his neck, his physique stand up within the air, he lastly understood, the soldier was galloping quick with the horse so as to elevate him up within the air, he was handled like a kite to be performed round.

His physique was excessive up within the air, the again of his neck had already misplaced all emotions from the ache. His nostril and mouth was buffeted by the wind, he had difficulties respiration, however he heard the lady clapped and laughed: “Superb! Superb! The human-kite actually flew!” You TanZhi appeared in the direction of the origin of the voice, the lady was carrying purple gown and was a fantastic younger woman. Upon seeing her, his chest was excited, he do not know if it was on account of happiness or disappointment, as he flew round within the air, he was incapable of considering.

The gorgeous younger woman is AhZi. When she noticed Xiao Feng launched You TanZhi, she was sad, after driving for a distance, she intentionally lagged behind and instructed her attendant to quietly seize You TanZhi, and so they can not reveal this matter to Xiao Feng. The followers all knew that Lord Xiao was very doting in the direction of her, thus they accepted her orders, they pretended to adjusts the belt buckle of the horse’s saddle, as soon as Xiao Feng travelled distant, they flip again and pursued You TanZhi. When AhZi return to Nanjing, she waited at a temple distant from Xiao Feng’s residence. When You TanZhi was efficiently captured, she consulted the Khitan for any contemporary concepts on torturing individuals. Somebody advised “fly human-kite”. This concept appealed to AhZi, she ordered You TanZhi to be flown as kite and it unexpectedly labored.

Watching from under, AhZi discovered it fascinating and he or she stored cheering, she mentioned: “Let me fly it!” she mounted the horse of the soldier and took over the rope, she mentioned: “Dismount!”

The soldier dismounted the horse and allowed AhZi to fly the “human-kite”, AhZi pulled the rope and went a couple of rounds on the horse, she laughed loudly and cheered repeatedly: “Attention-grabbing! Attention-grabbing!” however she had simply recovered from a heavy damage, her hand was devoid of power, as soon as her wrist weakens, the rope sags and You TanZhi crash closely on the bluestone ground with a “Peng” sound, his brow collide with a pointy fringe of a rock, instantly the wound collapse and blood gush out. AhZi was extraordinarily upset, she fumed: “This silly child is so heavy!”

You TanZhi almost fainted from the ache, as he take heed to her complain about his weight, he needed to elucidate however the ache was so unhealthy that he cannot say a single phrase, a Khitan soldier stroll over and undid the ropes round his neck, one other Khitan soldier tore of his garments and randomly bandaged his wounds, contemporary blood ooze repeatedly from his wounds, how can it’s stopped?

AhZi mentioned: “His advantageous, his advantageous! Let’s carry on taking part in, ship him up once more, as excessive up within the air as doable.” You TanZhi didn’t perceive the Khitan language coming from her, however he noticed her making gestures, pointing at his head, he knew it was one thing unhealthy.

Positive sufficient, a solider picked up the rope, he looped the rope round his armpit after which round his physique, he did not loop round his neck to keep away from strangling him, he gave a shout: “Rise!” and sped off on his horse, he dragged You TanZhi on the bottom for a couple of rounds and ultimately You TanZhi flew into the air once more. The soldier steadily launched the rope and You TanZhi flew larger and better.

The Khitan soldier abruptly loosen his grip, with a whizzing sound You TanZhi flew like an arrow that has been fired off a bow, he flew excessive up within the air. AhZi and the remainder of the troopers have been cheering and applauding. You TanZhi was unwilling however his physique solely flew larger and better, he thought in his coronary heart: “I’ll actually die this time!”

The ascending thrust pressure steadily died off, he plunge straight down again to earth head-first, in a couple of extra second his head will smash in opposition to the bluestone ground, 4 Khitan troopers concurrently despatched out their lasso, they wrap it spherical his waist and pull in all 4 course. You TanZhi fainted instantly, however the pressure coming from all 4 instructions suspended him in mid-air, his head was 3 ft off the bottom. This manoeuvre is harmful to the acute, if one of many lassoes was despatched out a bit gradual, the pressure is not going to stability out, and You TanZhi’s mind will certainly burst. The Khitan troopers practiced this trick on the Music individuals, the captives all turned human-kite, 8-9 out of 10 will smash head-first on the bottom, though the bottom on the grass plain is mushy, plummeting down from top, even when their head didn’t crack open, they neck may even break, and they’re going to die on the spot.

As everybody was celebrating, the 4 Khitan soldier launched You TanZhi from the ropes. AhZi took out her silvers and rewarded each soldier with 5 silvers. The troopers gave their thanks. They ask: “Miss, you need to play one thing else?”

AhZi noticed You TanZhi had already fainted, she do not know if his lifeless or alive, she exerted extreme pressure when flying the “human-kite”, and now her chest hurts badly, she didn’t have any power to hold on taking part in, she replied: “Sufficient enjoyable for at present. Deliver this child to see me tomorrow if he survives, i consider one thing to put on him down. This individual needs to plot in opposition to Lord Xiao, we won’t let him die too simply.” The troopers agreed in unison, they carried off the blood-soaked You TanZhi.

When You TanZhi wakened, he scent a mouldy odour, he open his eyes however all he might see was darkness, he first thought was: “Am i lifeless?” instantly he felt ache throughout his physique, he was extraordinarily thirsty. His voice was hoarse and he mentioned: “Water! Water!” however who will even care about him?

After calling out a couple of instances, he felt drowsy and he fell asleep, all of the sudden he noticed his uncle and father preventing with Qiao Feng, blood was flowing all over the place, he noticed his mom cradling him in her arms, comforting him gently, asking him to be not afraid. He noticed AhZi, her lovely face, her shiny eyes emitting a wierd gentle. Her face all of the sudden narrowed right into a triangle and have become the pinnacle of a snake, protruding its blood-red long-tongue, exposing its fangs because it bites him. You TanZhi struggled, however he cannot transfer, the snake chew him on his arms, legs, neck, all over the place, the chew on his brow was particularly painful. He noticed his flesh being bitten off, he needed to scream however he could not……

He toss and switch round the entire night time, he was tortured when he was awake, and now he felt ache and struggling in his goals.

The subsequent day, two Khitan troopers hauled him off to see AhZi, he had excessive fever and it didn’t subside, he took a step and instantly collapsed. The 2 Khitan troopers supported his left and proper shoulder, they reproach him loudly and dragged him into a big home. You TanZhi contemplated: “The place are they dragging me? Am i going to be beheaded?” he was drowsy, he discovered it tough to assume correctly, he cross by two set of doorways and he stopped exterior a corridor. The 2 troopers reported their arrival exterior the corridor, a feminine voice acknowledged from inside, they open the door to the corridor and supported him in.

You TanZhi increase his head, there was an enormous ornamental carpet within the corridor, sitting on a cushion on the finish was a fantastic younger lady, it was AhZi. Each her ft have been resting on the carpet. When You TanZhi noticed her snow white crystal-like ft, it was actually like easy jade, it was as mushy as satin, his coronary heart was thumping fiercely, his eye fastened firmly on her ft, the flesh on the again of her ft was clear, a number of veins have been faintly mirrored, he actually needs to stretch out his hand to the touch it. The 2 Khitan troopers launched him. You TanZhi swayed left and proper, and eventually maintained his footing. His gaze didn’t go away AhZi’s ft, he noticed her ten toes nails are pale crimson, it was like ten flower petals.

AhZi checked out him, all she noticed was an unsightly soiled youth, his face was twisted, jaws protruding, however his eyes glowed with grasping flames. She instantly considered an injured and hungry wolf, when she was at XingXiu Sea, she and her two martial-brothers would go looking, she shot a hungry wolf, however she didn’t kill it. That wolf suffered critical accidents and stared at her venomously, the expression was precisely the identical as You TanZhi’s gaze, the wolf needed to pounce on her and chew her to dying, though it will probably’t bounce it nonetheless bared a dense row of fangs, howling with anger, however You TanZhi is just too weak, he would not resist in any respect, it actually not fascinating. Yesterday, he threw quicklime at Xiao Feng, and he refused to kneel, his method and speech was cussed, he refused cash from Xiao Feng, AhZi appreciated it very a lot, she thought he have to be a ferocious and highly effective wild beast. She needs to torture him, she needs to cowl him with accidents, and when his injured she need him to ferociously struggle again and chew her, after all he can’t be allowed to succeed along with his chew. However when she captured him and flew him as a “human-kite”, this wild beast didn’t struggle again, he gave a lifeless look, that was not enjoyable in any respect. She frown and contemplated: “How ought to i torment him in order that will probably be enjoyable?”

All of a sudden, You TanZhi made two “He He” sound, a burst of power got here out of nowhere, like a leopard he pounced in the direction of AhZi, grabbing her calf, he lowered his head and kiss the again of her ft. AhZi had an enormous shock, she screamed. Two Khitan troopers and 4 slave women serving AhZi shouted in unison and so they rush ahead to drag him away.

However You TanZhi firmly held onto her calf and refused to let go. The Khitan soldier gave a tug and AhZi was pulled off the cushion seat and he or she fell onto the carpet mat. The 2 troopers was shock and indignant, they dare not pull once more, one soldier hit his again, the opposite soldier hit his face. The accidents on You TanZhi swelled, his fever had not but subside, he was in a confused state, it was as if his loopy, he didn’t discover something in entrance of him. He firmly held onto AhZi’s ft.

AhZi felt his sizzling dry lips on her ft, she was frightened, however she additionally felt a wierd itching sensation, she screamed: “Ah Yo! His biting my toes.” She hurriedly mentioned to the 2 troopers: “Shortly again off, this man is loopy, Ah Yo, don’t let him chew my toes.” You TanZhi was biting her toes gently, though AhZi felt ache, she was extra afraid that he would possibly forcefully chew down, in her flurried state, she knew he can’t be stopped with brute pressure, she feared that if the troopers keep on their beatings he’ll actually chew down randomly.

The 2 troopers didn’t have any concepts to deal with him and so they might solely launch him. AhZi cried: “Cease biting, I am going to spare your life, Ai Yo, i’ll launch you.” At the moment You TanZhi is in a deranged state, how would he register what she mentioned? A Khitan soldier grabbed his sabre and withdrew it from the scabbard, he didn’t need to hesitate anymore and was going to cut it at You TanZhi’s neck to chop off his head.

AhZi mentioned: “Hey! You aren’t a wild beast, why are you biting individuals? Shortly launch you mouth, i’ll ask somebody to are likely to your wounds and launch you again to Central Plains.” You TanZhi nonetheless ignored her, he didn’t exert power in his chew and did not injure her, his arms was gently fondling her ft, he was in a dream-like state, he turned a human-kite once more, flying excessive up into the clouds.

A Khitan soldier all of the sudden had a brainwave, he clutched You TanZhi’s throat. When You TanZhi’s throat was caught, his mouth open involuntary. AhZi shortly withdrew her leg and took out her toes from his mouth, she stood up, fearing that he would possibly go loopy and begin biting once more, she hid her ft behind the cushions. Two Khitan troopers caught maintain of You TanZhi, they increase their fist and strike his chest repeatedly. After ten fists, he gave two “Wa Wa” sounds and spurt a couple of mouthful of contemporary blood, the blood stained the brightly-coloured carpet.

AhZi mentioned: “Cease, cease hitting!” After this thrilling expertise, she felt this child was fairly bizarre and fascinating, she did not need to kill him instantly. The Khitan troopers stayed their arms and stopped hitting. AhZi sat cross-legged on the cushion, her pair of ft below her buttocks, she contemplated: “How ought to i torture him?”

AhZi lookup and noticed You TanZhi gazing her, she ask: “Why are you gazing me?” You TanZhi had already disregarded his life, he replied: “You’re fairly, i like to take a look at you!” AhZi blushed and thought: “This child is absolutely daring, he dare to say such frivolous stuff.”

However in her whole life, nobody has complimented her magnificence. When she learnt her abilities at XingXiu Sect, her martial-brothers all handled her as a mischievous little lady; when she adopted Xiao Feng, he was nervous about whether or not she would possibly trigger bother or if she is going to die from damage, he did not care if she was ugly or fairly. You TanZhi spoke bluntly, it was apparent that his reward was sincere and honest, she was secretly overjoyed and contemplated: “I’ll hold him by my aspect and use him to cross time, that might be fairly good. However brother-in-law mentioned to launch him, if he is aware of i captured him once more he will certainly be indignant. I can cover the reality at present however i can not cover it from him without end. What ought to i achieve this that brother-in-law won’t ever know of this matter? I can cease different individuals from speaking with him but when brother-in-law all of the sudden comes over to go to me and sees him, what ought to i do?”

She thought for a second, all of the sudden she had an thought: “AhZhu is sweet at disguise, when she’s disguised as father, brother-in-law didn’t even acknowledge her. I’ll give this boy a brand new look, than brother-in-law will certainly no acknowledge him. But when his not keen, after i apply the make-up, he’ll merely wash it away and return again to his unique look, will not it’s ineffective?”

She wrinkled her brows, directly she had one other thought, she clapped her hand and smiled: “Nice thought! Nice thought! I’ll do it!” she spoke to the 2 Khitan troopers. The troopers had some queries and so they consulted her once more. AhZi gave extra particulars in her rationalization, she ordered a maid to retrieve 10 silvers and gave it to the troopers. The troopers accepted the silvers, gave a bow and hauled You TanZhi out of the corridor.

You TanZhi shouted: “I need to have a look at her, I need to have a look at this heartless fairly lady.” The Khitan troopers and the maids didn’t perceive Han language, they do not perceive what he’s shouting about.

AhZi smiled and have a look at his determine, she thought her thought was very intelligent and he or she was very pleased with herself.

You TanZhi was thrown again into the dungeon. At nightfall, somebody introduced a bowl of mutton and some piece of rice-cake. You TanZhi’s fever didn’t subside, he was sputtering nonsense loudly, the individual was so scared that he put down the meals and left instantly. You TanZhi didn’t understand he was hungry and thus he by no means contact the mutton or rice-cakes.

Through the night time, three Khitan all of the sudden got here into his dungeon. You TanZhi was drowsy and mentally confuse, however he noticed the expressions of those males have been peculiar, it is apparent they harboured unhealthy intentions. He vaguely knew one thing unhealthy was about to occur, he struggled to face up, wanting to flee. Two Khitan got here ahead and held him down, they flip his physique in order that his face is going through the sky. You TanZhi swore at them: “Khitan canines, go and die, i’ll minimize you right into a thousand items.” All of a sudden, the third Khitan was holding onto a white object, it is like cotton, additionally like snow, he forceful press it in opposition to his face. The feeling was moist and chilly, his mind cleared, however he was suffocating, he thought: “So that you need to seal my seven orifice, you need to suffocate me to dying!”

However as he considered this instantly he knew he guess wrongly, somebody gave a couple of poke to his mouth and nostril, he might nonetheless breathe, however he couldn’t open his eyes, his face felt moist and greasy, somebody was pinching his face, some moist stuff was utilized on his face, it may be mud paste. You TanZhi was in a daze and he thought: “I’m wondering what sort of weird methodology these villains will make use of to kill me?”

After some time, the mud layer on his face was gently peeled off by somebody, You TanZhi open his eyes, he noticed a face mould made out of moist flour, it was his face. The Khitan dealt with the mould fastidiously with each arms, he was afraid of damaging it. You TanZhi curse once more: “Stinking Liao canine, you’ll die with no resting place.” The three Khitans ignored him, they took the face mould and left.

You TanZhi all of the sudden remembered: “Sure, they utilized poison on my face, fairly quickly, my face will rot, my pores and skin and flesh will drop off, i’ll turn out to be a freak … ” he turned extra afraid the extra he considered it, he contemplated: “Fairly than being tortured to dying, i ought to kill myself!” instantly he bang his head in opposition to the wall, “Peng Peng” he bang 3 times. The jail guard heard the sound and rush in, he tied up his arms and ft, You TanZhi was half-dead and will solely allowed himself to be restrained.

After a number of days, he didn’t felt any ache on his face, it did not rot, however he was nonetheless decided to die, though his hungry, he didn’t eat any of the meals delivered.

Within the morning of the fourth day, the three Khitan males returned to his dungeon, they hauled him out. You TanZhi lonely and painful ideas all of the sudden made approach for candy ideas, he thought AhZi was summoning him for extra torturing, though his physique will endure, however he might see her lovely face, he can not assist however reveal a bitter smile.

The three Khitan took him throughout a number of alleys, they entered a dim stone home. He noticed blazing charcoals together with the stone home, a muscular blacksmith was bare above the waist, he was standing subsequent to a big anvil, holding onto a shiny black object, he was analyzing the article fastidiously. The three Khitan males hauled You TanZhi to the entrance of the blacksmith, two males held his arms, the opposite held his again. The blacksmith rotated, he studied his face after which have a look at the black object in his arms, he appears to be making some sort of comparability.

You TanZhi appeared on the object within the blacksmith’s hand, it was a masks made out of wrought iron, there are 4 holes for the mouth, nostril and eyes. He thought to himself: “Make this factor for what?” the blacksmith picked up the masks and lined You TanZhi’s face. Naturally You TanZhi prevented it by turning his head away, however somebody was urgent his head, he couldn’t keep away from, the masks lined his face. He felt a freezing sensation on his face, his pores and skin was caught onto the steel floor, however he discovered it odd, the masks fitted him completely, it appears to be custom-made.

You TanZhi felt odd for less than an prompt, instantly he understood, he felt a chill down his backbone: “AiYa, this masks is certainly custom-made. That day they utilized wet-flour on my face, it is the mould for this face masks. They undergo a lot bother to create this iron masks, what’s their intention? May it’s ….. might it’s …..” in his coronary heart he knew the vicious intention of those Khitans, however he didn’t know the aim, he dare not assume anymore, he struggled to run away.

The blacksmith eliminated the masks from his face, he nod his head, his expression happy. He took a big iron plier and gripped the masks with it, he place the masks within the furnace and warmth it till it turns crimson, his proper hand picked up a steel hammer, “Zheng Zheng Zheng” he begins putting, after putting the masks for some time, he stretch his arms and contact You TanZhi’s cheekbone and brow, his correcting the masks to repair the non-identical parts.

You TanZhi shouted: “Damnable Liao canine, you commit evils that go in opposition to nature, you might be so savage and depraved, God will deliver calamity upon you, you’ll all die! You oxen and horses will drop lifeless, you infants will die untimely!” he cursed and swear, however the Khitan did not perceive a single phrase. All of a sudden the blacksmith rotated. He glared at You TanZhi with a venomous look, he raised the intense crimson steel plier and poke it in the direction of his eyes. You TanZhi was so scared that he gave a loud shrill.

The blacksmith was simply scaring him for enjoyable, he laughed and retracted the plier, he took out a steel curve piece and examined it on the again of You TanZhi’s head. As soon as adjustment was full, the blacksmith baked the semi-circular iron cowl and the masks within the furnance till it turns utterly crimson, he spoke a couple of phrases loudly. The three Khitan lifted You TanZhi up, they place him horizontally on a desk, his head going through upward. Two additional Khitan got here ahead to help, they forcefully pulled his hair, his head cannot transfer in any respect, these 5 males press down on his limbs, how can You TanZhi even transfer an inch?

The blacksmith use the plier to grip the red-hot masks, he cease for some time, ready for the temperature to chill, he gave a shout and lined it on You TanZhi’s face, white smoke rises, odour of burnt flesh dispersed in all instructions, You TanZhi screamed and fainted. The 5 Khitan males flipped his physique over, the blacksmith use the plier to grip the iron cowl, he press it on the again of his head, the 2 semi-circular iron cowl turned an iron sphere, it lined his head. The iron cowl is sizzling to the acute, as soon as it touches the pores and skin, will probably be burnt and be badly mutilated. The blacksmith is the best ironworker in Yanjing, the 2 hemisphere mixed collectively flawlessly.

It was as if he went via hell, he skilled being burnt and roasted by raging flames, You TanZhi didn’t recall the time, and he slowly regained consciousness, however he felt extreme ache on his face and the again of his head, it was actually arduous to endure, and he fainted once more. This went on and he fainted 3 times, and awoke 3 times, he shouted loudly however his voice is hoarse to the acute, it did not sound like human voice anymore.

He lie down and didn’t transfer in any respect, he clenched his enamel and forcefully endured the ache and struggling on his face and head. This went on for 2 hours, he lastly lifted his arms and contact his face, he felt one thing arduous and chilly, he appropriately guessed it, the iron masks had already lined his head, he was enraged, he pull and jerk the masks, however it was welded firmly on the edges, how can he even take away it? In his desperation and hopelessness, he cried out loudly.

He’s nonetheless younger, though he skilled such sufferings, however he managed to endure it and thus it doesn’t appeared proper to only search dying, after a couple of days, his wounds healed and his ache diminished, he is aware of he’s ravenous. He scent the aromatic aroma of mutton and rice-cakes, he could not resist it and ate it. At this second he had a transparent understanding of the iron masks on his head, he knew the wrought iron masks had sealed his head completely, there isn’t any approach he can launch it, initially he was indignant and acted violently however he lastly calmed down, he contemplated: “This canine traitor Qiao Feng, he lined my face with this iron masks, what’s he intentions?”

He thought all the things got here from Xiao Feng’s command, thus he didn’t suspect that it was AhZi’s doing and the aim of this masks is to cover his identification from Xiao Feng.

All these stuff are carried out by the captain of the room attendants, below AhZi’s suggestion.

Brother-in-law, i need to see his actual look, see how scary he actually is.”

You TanZhi was so scared that his physique trembled, his enamel chattered with a “GeGe” sound.

Xiao Feng noticed his irregular concern and mentioned: “This man is very scared, why take away his iron masks? This man is accustomed to carrying the iron masks since childhood, in the event you forcibly take away his masks he could have problem residing sooner or later.”

AhZi clapped her arms and mentioned: “Now that’s enjoyable. Previously, when i see a turtle, i’ll catch it and take away its shell, i’ll then observe if it will probably stay with out its shell.”

Xiao Feng can not assist however frown, he felt that it was merciless to take away the turtle shell, he mentioned: “AhZi, why do you all the time do this type of evil stuff that leaves individuals half-dead and half-alive?”

AhZi groan and mentioned: “After all you do not prefer it!

However aren’t i right here each day to accompany you for some time?” AhZi mentioned: “Accompany me for some time, heng, accompany me for some time! I simply do not such as you to make use of ‘accompany me for some time’ to excuse your self. If i’m AhZhu, you’ll absolutely accompany me each day, you’ll by no means go away me, it will not be ‘some time’ or ‘half some time’!”

Xiao Feng knew she spoke the reality, he had no reply, he solely snort and mentioned: “Brother-in-law is an grownup, i’m not concerned with taking part in with a baby, it is best to go discover some younger feminine companion to talk with you and relieve your boredom.” AhZi fumed: “Baby, little one …… I’m not a baby! In case you are not concerned with taking part in, then why do you come right here?” Xiao Feng mentioned: “I got here to test in case your feeling higher? Have you ever eaten the bear’s gall at present?”

AhZi took a cushion off a seat and slam it on the ground, she kicked it away and mentioned: “If i’m not blissful, even when i eat 100 bear’s gall, i nonetheless will not get better.”

Xiao Feng noticed her little one tantrums, if she was AhZhu, he’ll attempt to coax her and make her blissful, however in the direction of this unruly vicious lady he can not assist however detest her, he mentioned: “You go relaxation for some time.” He stood up and walks away.

AhZi stared at his again, as she was about to cry she noticed You TanZhi, she vented her anger on him and shouted: “Attendant, give him one other 30 lashes!” the attendant replied: “Affirmative!” and picked up the whip.

You TanZhi mentioned loudly: “Miss, what mistake did i make?” AhZi didn’t reply him, she wave her hand and mentioned: “Lash him!” with a “Shua” sound the attendant lash down along with his whip. You TanZhi mentioned: “Miss, what mistake did i make, you must inform me least i commit it once more.” The attendant lashed him time and again.

AhZi mentioned: “Since i need to beat you, you shouldn’t ask what mistake you make, did i mistakenly beat you? You ask what mistake you make, i’m beating you exactly since you ask this query.”

You TanZhi mentioned: “You beat me first, then i ask you the query. I didn’t ask you the query whenever you despatched somebody to beat me.” “Shua” he was lashed once more, “Shua Shua Shua” he acquired one other three lashes.

AhZhi smiled and mentioned: “I predicted that you’ll ask the query, so i ask somebody to hit you upfront. And you actually did ask the query, so is not my prediction appropriate? This proves that you’re not loyal sufficient. I need to ask somebody to beat you, in case you are loyal, you’ll routinely volunteer to be crushed. However you retain giving excuses and questioned me, okay, since you do not wish to be crushed, i’ll cease beating you.”

When You TanZhi heard the phrase “i’ll cease beating you” his coronary heart grew chilly, the hairs on his physique all stood up, he knew that if AhZhi cease beating him, she will certainly come up a punishment that’s 10 instances extra atrocious than whipping, it is higher to only endure the 30 lashes, he shortly mentioned: “Sure, its subordinate’s fault! Miss is exhibiting nice kindness by beating me, its helpful to subordinate’s physique, i beseech Miss to whip me extra, the extra the higher.”

AhZi gave a captivating smile and mentioned: “Lastly, you might be getting smarter. I do not present particular favors, you mentioned to whip you, the extra the higher, you assume i’ll spare you as soon as i’m blissful?” You TanZhi mentioned: “No, subordinate shouldn’t be asking Miss for favors.” AhZi mentioned: “You mentioned the extra the higher, it’s actually your heartfelt want?” You TanZhi mentioned: “Sure, it is subordinate’s heartfelt want.” AhZi mentioned: “That being the case, I am going to grant you your want. Attendant, give him 100 lashes, he likes being whipped.”

You TanZhi was shocked, he thought: “Getting whipped 100 instances, am i able to nonetheless survive?” however issues had already reached this stage, even when he was not keen, they might nonetheless whip him, it is pointless to debate additional, he remained silent.

AhZi mentioned: “Why aren’t you talking? You aren’t keen? I ask somebody to beat you, you assume it is unfair?” You TanZhi mentioned: “Subordinate is totally satisfied, i do know that Miss granted my request solely out of fine intentions.” AhZi mentioned: “Then why aren’t you talking simply now?” You TanZhi didn’t know tips on how to reply, he was in a daze for some time earlier than saying: “This…this…subordinate thinks that Miss has proven nice kindness on me, subordinate could be very appreciative, i do not know what to say, i do not know tips on how to repay Miss sooner or later.”

AhZi mentioned: “Ah ha! You say you need to repay me. I whip you now, you’ll bear in mind each single whip and bear in mind the hate.” You TanZhi repeatedly shook his head and mentioned: “No, no! It isn’t true. I mentioned to repay Miss, is absolutely repay. Subordinate is keen to threat my very own life and sacrifice myself for you.”

AhZi mentioned: “Good, keep on whipping!” the attendant mentioned: “Sure!” with a “Pai” sound he lash down along with his whip.

After 50 lashes, You TanZhi was in a lot ache that he was mentally numb, his knees soften, and he slowly knelt down. AhZi smiled as she watch, she waited for him to plead mercy. When he begins pleading, she is going to use it because the excuse so as to add one other 50 lashes. However You TanZhi was in a daze, his not conscious of his environment, he solely moan softly, he didn’t beg for mercy. After 70 lashes, he fainted. The attendant didn’t present the slightest little bit of mercy, he stored on lashing and accomplished the complete 100 lashes, solely then did he cease.

AhZi noticed You TanZhi was on the verge of dying, he had a excessive likelihood of dying, she felt upset. She considered Xiao Feng’s detached angle in the direction of her, she felt melancholic and troubled, she mentioned: “Carry him off! This individual shouldn’t be enjoyable in any respect! Attendant, do you will have any new enjoyable stuff?”

You TanZhi required 1 month to totally get better from the lashings. The Khitans noticed that AhZi had forgotten about him, she didn’t summon him for extra torture periods, and thus they put him along with Music captives and made to do all kind of heavy guide labor, carrying excrements, washing sheep’s shed, choosing cow dung, shearing sheepskin, he did all kinds of guide work.

You TanZhi was carrying an iron masks, everybody made enjoyable of him and insulted him, even his Han compatriots handled him as a freak. You TanZhi resigned himself to adversity, he flip right into a mute. When others beat him and curse him, he by no means resists or fights again. When somebody trip previous with a horse, he’ll all the time increase his head and provides a glace, his coronary heart stored desirous about one factor: “When will Miss name me again for whipping?” He solely hope to see AhZi once more, even when he need to endure lashings, he’ll endure it willingly, he by no means considered escaping.

AhZi is in an excellent temper, she snort: “Iron Clown, how come you did not die?” You TanZhi mentioned: “I mentioned…i mentioned i need to repay Miss’s kindness, i have not repay it, i can not merely die.” AhZi appreciated it very a lot, she smiled tenderly and mentioned: “I’m at the moment on the lookout for a loyal lackey to do one thing for me, the Khitans are coarse and careless they may mess issues up, you did not die, that is good, comply with me!” You TanZhi replied: “Sure!” and adopted behind her horse.

AhZi wave her hand and her attendant together with three Khitan guards went again, they didn’t comply with. The attendant knew that no matter what she says, AhZi can’t be persuaded, however luckily this iron-head man appears weak and cowardly, there isn’t any hurt in letting him comply with the Princess, she mentioned: “Miss, please return early!” and so they 4 of them dismounted from their horses and waited by town gate.

AhZi travelled slowly on her horse, after strolling about seven to eight li, the route was getting increasingly more abandoned, they flip right into a spooky valley, the bottom is roofed with rotten grass and leaves. As they travelled a couple of extra li, the mountain highway bought rugged, AhZi can not journey on her horse, she dismounted, she ordered You TanZhi to information the horse and so they stored on strolling. The environment have been gloomy, chilly wind blew from the mountain valley right down to the slender highway, the wind made their pores and skin sore.

AhZi mentioned: “Okay, its right here!” she ordered You TanZhi to tie the horse to a tree and continued: “The stuff you see at present, you can not leak out the slightest bit of knowledge to others, you can not even point out it in entrance of me, do you perceive?”

You TanZhi mentioned: “Sure, sure!” his happiness is raging wildly, AhZi solely needed him as her follower, they even got here to this abandoned place, even when she whipped him severely, he’ll gladly endure it.

AhZi stretch her arms into her bosom and retrieved a yellow wood tripod, she positioned it on the ground and mentioned: “Later if some weird bugs begin showing, you should not panic, you positively can not make any sound.” You TanZhi replied: “Sure!”

AhZi once more took out a small material bag from her bosom, she open the bag, inside was a couple of lumps of yellow, black and purple spices. She pinched a bit of spice from every of the lumps and positioned it within the tripod, she lit her flint and made a hearth, afterwards she closed the quilt of the tripod, she mentioned: “Let’s go wait by that tree aspect.”

AhZi sat down below a tree, You TanZhi dare not sit beside her, separated by a couple of zhang, he sat on high of a rock going through the wind.

The purple turned deeper and deeper, slowly it turned jet black, after some time, the blackness unfold from his center finger to his palm, and eventually it unfold from his palm to his arm. You TanZhi had already disregarded his life, he was calm, the nook of his lips revealed a smile, however this smile was hidden by the masks and AhZi didn’t see it.

AhZi’s gaze was on the centipede, she gave it her undivided consideration, not the slightest little bit of neglect. The centipede lastly launched You TanZhi’s finger and it fell again into the urn and stopped transferring. Violet cried: “Gently place the centipede into the wood tripod, watch out, do not injure it.”

You TanZhi complied and lifted the centipede, he positioned it into the wood tripod. AhZi closed the tripod cowl, after some time, black bood begin dripping down from the opening within the tripod.

He stored knocking and banging himself, an merchandise fell out of his bosom, the oilcloth wrappings loosen, revealing a yellow guide, it is the Sanskrit guide picked up by him the final time. Beneath the extreme itch, he didn’t hassle to choose up the guide, however he noticed the guide flipped open. The itch is absolutely arduous to bear, You TanZhi roll on the ground, after a spherical of random scratching and knocking, he bent over and pant, tears, mucus and saliva all circulate out of the mouth gap of the iron masks, dripping onto the Sanskrit guide. In his drowsy state he didn’t hold monitor of time, however the web page of the guide was soaked stuffed with tears and saliva, inadvertently, a drawing of a monk appeared among the many curvy writings. The monk’s posture was very unusual, his head was between two outspread legs, extending out, his arms have been clutching his ft.

He was not within the temper to consider the odd posture, he cannot even breathe as a result of itch, he lie on the bottom, randomly tearing his garments into items, he violently rubbed his pores and skin on the bottom, instantly, blood oozes out from his pores and skin. He was rubbing randomly, all of the sudden, he slipped and his head cross over between his two legs. He was carrying an iron masks, he was caught and couldn’t withdraw his head, his stretched out his hand to help, his proper hand clutched his proper foot. However he was too worn out and dead-tired, he could not transfer, he needed to briefly keep his hand and regain his breath, inadvertently, he noticed the guide in entrance of him, the guide depicted a thin monk, the posture is much like his present posture, he felt amazed and located it humorous, however the strangest factor is after sustaining this posture, his bodily itch felt bearable, his respiration additionally turned smoother, thus he didn’t attempt to withdraw his head from his legs, he continued mendacity on the bottom, he heartily adopted the monk’s posture depicted within the drawing, his left hand clutched his left foot, chin touching the bottom. This fashion, his posture was utterly similar to the monk and he discovered it simpler to breathe.

As he maintained the posture, his eyes bought nearer to the guide, he have a look at the monk once more, two giant yellow phrases have been written beside the monk, it was crooked and unusual, there are a lot of small crimson arrows on the phrase. As You TanZhi maintained this posture, he was extraordinarily drained and instantly let go of his arms and stood up. As soon as he stood up, the itch turned so unhealthy that he cannot breathe, he shortly caught his head between his legs, arms clutching his ft, chin touching the bottom, as he made this odd posture, his respiration instantly turned smoother.

He dare not transfer anymore, after a very long time, he turned bored, he have a look at the drawing of the monk and on the two unusual phrases. He have a look at the small arrows on the phrase, he instinctively contemplated in regards to the small arrows, the unusual itch on his proper arm appears to show right into a line of heat vitality, it flow into a couple of instances round his throat and chest, it slowly dissipates and disappeared from his shoulders and from the highest of his head.

He stored wanting on the small arrows on the phrase and contemplated about them repeatedly, every time a line of heat vitality will cross by his head and the unusual itch on his arm will cut back barely. He was shock however he didn’t hassle to consider the underlying motive, he simply adopted the identical steps, after finishing thirty cycles, he solely felt a slight itch on his arm, after one other ten cycles, his fingers, palm and arm was utterly itch-free.

He withdraws his head from his legs, prolong his palm and have a look at it, the black cloud on his palm had vanished, he was happy, all of the sudden he exclaimed: “AiYo, this isn’t good!

I even unintentionally make the identical posture because the monk? This monk have to be a Buddha, he got here to save lots of my life.” Instantly he knelt and respectfully kowtow to the drawing of the unusual monk, “Dang Dang” sound rang out as his iron masks knock on the ground.

He didn’t understand that the drawing within the guide is drawn utilizing particular natural answer from India, it should solely reveal itself when moist, it should disappear when it is dry, thus each AhZhu and Xiao Feng by no means noticed the drawing. The determine within the drawing depicts the right approach to channel vitality, the Sanskrit writings offered the reasons, eminent monks from Shaolin’s earlier technology had data on Sanskrit, though they do not know the thriller of the drawing, they may nonetheless follow the Tendon-Altering Sutra base on instructions given by the writings. When You TanZhi suffered the unusual itch, his tears and saliva flowed freely, fortunately it landed on the web page and revealed the drawing. The drawing is an ingenious methodology to neutralize exterior poison when practising the ability, it was created by an historical grasp from India as a part of a set of secret Yoga methods. When You TanZhi made the posture, it was not utterly by likelihood or coincidence, it was additionally on account of pure human instincts. When he had bother enduring the unusual itch, its pure human habits to decrease the pinnacle to the bottom, nothing unusual or stunning, however his tears and saliva dripping on the web page, it is actually pure luck and coincidence. He was dumbstruck for some time, his exhaustion reached its restrict, instantly he lie down and slept on the ground. On the morning of the second day, AhZi hurriedly entered the Palace, she noticed his bare weird look and gave an “Ah!” cry, she mentioned: “Why aren’t you lifeless but?” You TanZhi was shock and reply: “Subordinate….subordinate continues to be alive!” he secretly felt depress: “It appears she thought i had died way back.”

AhZi mentioned: “It is good that you’re not lifeless! Shortly costume your self correctly and comply with me to catch poison bugs.” You TanZhi mentioned: “Sure!” AhZi adopted and he asks for garments from Khitan troopers. The top of a gaggle of Khitan soldier was very welcoming in the direction of him, he gave him a set of unpolluted garments to vary into.

AhZi introduced You TanZhi to the abandoned mountain valley, she nonetheless use the Divine Wood King Tripod to draw toxic bugs, use rooster blood to feed the bugs, after which allow them to suck the blood of You TanZhi, after which use the blood to follow her ability. The second bug was a inexperienced spider, the third bug was a big scorpion. You TanZhi adopted the drawings on the guide to neutralize the poison.

At XingXiu Sea, at any time when AhZi noticed her grasp follow this divine ability, she is going to see a lifeless corpse each time, the individuals have been all captured from close by villages below the orders of their grasp, she anticipated You TanZhi to die when he bought poisoned by the bugs, however unexpectedly he did not die, and he or she can not assist however really feel secretly shock.

This catching of bugs for practising of ability went on repeatedly, after three months, the variety of toxic bugs inside 10 li of Nanjing metropolis steadily decreased, the bugs attracted by the perfume have been all weak and frail and to not AhZi’s liking. Thus, each of them have to maneuver additional out to catch the bugs.

On today, they arrived at a spot 30 li away from town, spices burnt within the wood tripod, after ready for greater than two hours, they lastly heard one thing rustle within the bushes, it appears to be some sort of snake or worm. AhZi mentioned: “Lay low!” instantly You TanZhi lowered his physique, he heard a loud sound, it was not regular.

The sound was blended with a vomiting stench, You TanZhi held his breath and didn’t transfer, he noticed the lengthy grass parted, a white physique black-striped python slithered out, the python’s head is triangular, a tumour protrude from the highest of its head. Snakes are uncommon in Northern space, however such a wierd formed python, no one has ever seen it earlier than. The python slithered subsequent to the wood tripod, it circled and revolve across the tripod, the python physique is 2 zhang lengthy, its physique is thicker than human arm, how can it match into the small tripod? However because it scent the spices and the perfume of the wood tripod, it used its head to ram the tripod.

AhZi did not count on to draw such gaint snake, she was extraordinarily shock, for the time being she didn’t have any thought on what to do, she quietly sneak beside You TanZhi and whispered: “What ought to we do? If the python breaks the wooden tripod, will not it’s damage? “

You TanZhi discover her tone was light when discussing with him, he felt overwhelmingly flattered, directly his braveness acquired an enormous increase, he mentioned: “Don’t fret, i’ll drive away the snake!” he stood up and took large strides in the direction of the snake. The snake hear a sound and instantly coiled its physique collectively, it raised its head and stick out its blood-red tongue, hissing and ready to pounce. After seeing such show of energy and affect, You TanZhi dare not method rashly.

At this second, he all of the sudden felt a burst of chilly wind on his physique, he noticed a line of fireside burning on the western nook, very quickly it burned in entrance of him. As the road bought nearer, he noticed that it is really not a line of fireside however one thing crawling among the many vegetation, inexperienced grass instantly dried and charred when the factor contact it, on the similar time the air turned colder and colder. He stepped again a couple of steps, the yellow line modified its course and transfer in the direction of the wood tripod, the factor is definitely a silkworm.

The silkworm is like pure white jade, with a tinge of inexperienced, its two instances bigger than common silkworm, it is like an earthworm, its physique clear and crystal-like. The python was initially aggressive and overbearing, however now it appears to be extraordinarily fearful, it withdraw its giant triangular head and conceal inside its physique. The crystal silkworm was unusually swift and climbs onto the snake’s physique, because it climbs up its like a red-hot charcoal, it scorched a line on the snake, when it reached the highest of the snake’s head, the python’s physique cracked and break up into two, it moved proper subsequent to the snake’s venom gland, sucking the venom, after some time its physique swell, wanting from afar, it appears like a crystal bottle stuffed with purple liquid.

AhZi was delighted, she whispered: “This silkworm is so highly effective, it should the king of all toxic creatures.” However You TanZhi was secretly nervous: “If such venomous silkworm suck my blood, i’ll actually die this time!”

The silkworm circled across the wooden tripod, it crawled up the tripod, instantly, burnt mark appeared on the tripod. The silkworm appears to have psychic energy, it went one spherical on high of the tripod, it appears to know that if it enters the tripod will probably be in peril, thus it didn’t behave like different toxic creatures, it climbed down from the tripod and went northwest.

AhZi was excited and anxious, she cried: “Fast, chase it!” she lined the tripod with brocade, picked up the wood tripod and chase after the silkworm. You TanZhi adopted behind her, they monitor the silkworm through the use of the scotch mark it left behind. Though this silkworm is a small bug, it crawls just like the wind, in a blink of an eye fixed it travelled a number of zhang, fortunately it leaves scotch marks on locations it travelled and so they did not lose monitor of it.

Each of them chase for over three to 4 li, all of the sudden they heard the gushing sound of water, they reached a small stream. The scorch mark reached the sting of the stream and disappeared, on the alternative aspect of the stream, there was no scorch mark, clearly the silkworm fell into the stream and was washed away. AhZi stomp her ft and complain: “It is best to have voiced out and ask me to chase sooner, the place are we suppose to search out it now? I do not care, you must discover it for me!” You TanZhi was very apprehensive, looking round randomly, how can he even discover it?

Each of them seek for a greater than two hours, it was getting darkish, AhZi was feeling drained and misplaced persistence, she mentioned angrily: “I do not care, you must catch it again, in any other case you need not see me once more.” She turns round and went again to town alone.

You TanZhi was extraordinarily nervous, he adopted the stream and search downstream, he seek for over seven to eight li, as nightfall falls, he all of the sudden noticed scorch mark among the many reverse vegetation. You TanZhi was overjoyed, he rushed out and shouted: “Miss, miss, i discovered it!” however AhZi had went again way back.

You TanZhi waded throughout the stream and adopted the scorch mark. He noticed scorch mark heading in the direction of the mountain. He gathered his vitality and ran shortly, beside the mountaintop was an impressive nice temple.

He shortly attracts close to, a plaque in entrance of the temple reads “MinZhong Temple Constructed In accordance To Imperial Edict”. He didn’t have time to take a look at the temple, he chased after the scorch mark. The mark bypass the temple aspect and led to the again of the temple. He heard the sound of wood fish and chanting of scriptures contained in the temple, the monks have been finishing up their prayer periods. He’s carrying an iron masks, he felt ashamed and frightened of being seen by the monks, thus he adopted the foot of the wall and quietly travelled, he noticed the scorch mark cross via a giant mud floor and attain a vegetable backyard, he pray that the silkworm is consuming vegetable and he’ll be capable to sneak behind and seize it, as he bought close to the fence of the backyard, he heard somebody cursing loudly, he stopped advancing.

He heard the individual rebuke loudly: “Why do not you abide by the foundations, sneaking out alone to play? You made me nervous for half a day, i feared that you’ll by no means return once more. I introduced you afar from the Kunlun Mountains, you might be too ungrateful, you do not know the difficulty and pains i went via. If you happen to proceed like this, you will not have any future prospect, you’ll destroy your personal future and nobody will pity you.” Though the voice was very indignant, it additionally possess compassion and expectation, it appears to be a father lecturing his unruly little one.

You TanZhi contemplated: “He talked about Kunlun Mountains and bringing him from distant place, more than likely a grasp or elder, not father.” He quietly transfer beside the fence, he noticed the individual is a monk. The monk is absolutely fats, his stature brief, he resembled a giant meat ball, his finger pointing the bottom, reprimanding endlessly. You TanZhi have a look at the bottom, he was shock and blissful, the monk was reprimanding a silkworm.

The looks of the monk is already very unusual, however speaking to the silkworm, it is much more weird. The silkworm is transferring on the bottom quickly, it appears to be making an attempt to flee however it hold operating into some sort of invisible wall and it turns round instantly. You TanZhi targeted his gaze, there’s a yellow circle on the bottom, the silkworm rush left and transfer proper however it will probably’t escape the circle, he instantly understood: “The circle is drawn utilizing some medicinal herb, this drugs have to be that silkworm black-star.”

The monk scolded for some time, he retrieved one thing from his bosom and gnawed on it, it is a cooked lamb head, he ate with relish, he picked up a gourd close to the pillar, unplugged it, lifted his neck and drank from it endlessly.

You TanZhi caught a whiff of alcohol, he knew the gourd contained wine, he thought: “So his a monk that eat meat and drink wine. It appears he raised this silkworm, he treasure and adore it very a lot, so how ought to i’m going about stealing it?”

As he was pondering, he heard somebody shout from the opposite finish of the backyard: “HuiJing, HuiJing!” when the fats monk heard it, he had an enormous shock, he shortly hid the meat and gourd in a pile of rice straw, the individual proceed to shout: ” HuiJing, HuiJing, you did not attend the prayer session, the place have you ever been hiding?” the fats monk shortly seize a close-by hoe and begin digging the backyard, he replied: “I’m planting greens.” the person came visiting, his a middle-aged monk, he coldly: “Everybody has to attend morning and night time prayer periods! You possibly can dig the fields anytime, why you select to dig throughout night time prayer periods? Go, go shortly! End the prayer session earlier than coming again right here to dig the sphere. Since you might be at MinZhong Temple, you must observe the foundations and laws right here. Your Shaolin Temple haven’t any guidelines and laws?” HuiJing replied: “Sure!” he put down the hoe and adopted him, he didn’t flip again to take a look at the silkworm for concern that the middle-aged monk will discover it.

You TanZhi contemplated: “So this short-fat monk is from Shaolin Temple, all of the monks from Shaolin know martial arts, i’ve to be additional cautious since i’m stealing his silkworm.” When the 2 of them was distant, the encircling was quiet, he squeeze via the bamboo fence, he noticed the silkworm transferring swiftly within the yellow circle, he thought: “The right way to catch it?” after some time he all of the sudden got here up with an thought, he retrieve the gourd from the haystack and gave it a shake, there’s nonetheless half a gourd of wine, he drank a couple of mouthfuls and poured the remaining onto the vegetable plot, he place the rim of the gourd on the bottom and slowly transfer it close to the yellow circle. When the gourd rim simply transfer previous the yellow circle, the silkworm gave a “Chi” sound and went into the gourd. You TanZhi was elated, he shortly exchange the stopper and sealed the gourd, he carried the gourd with each hand and squeeze out of the bamboo fence, after strolling for some time he shortly ran and escape.

After leaving MinZhong Temple for 10 zhang, he felt the gourd was unusually chilly, it is even colder than ice, he transferred the gourd from his proper hand to his left hand, after which from his left to proper, the chilly is absolutely chilling to the bone, the gourd cannot be held continually. With none good thought, he place the gourd on high of his head, this was even worse, chilly air unfold via the iron masks, his head was freezing and it felt extraordinarily painful, it was as if the blood in his physique was about to show to ice. The urgent scenario gave rise to a shiny thought, he took off his belt and tie it across the gourd, holding the belt in his hand, the belt can not transmit chilly and thus he was in a position to maintain onto it. However the gourd nonetheless gave off chilly air, after some time a layer of frost fashioned on the gourd floor.
