“That is proper,” stated Yang Guo, “Watch out! That stone is slippery.”

They instantly walked again down and informed all the things they knew to Huang Rong.

She was silent for a second, frowning deeply. All of a sudden her eyes lit. Clapping her palms she exclaimed, “Guo’er, Congratulations, congratulations!”

Yang Guo was flabbergasted. He was shocked however a bit thrilled on the identical time, “What…Why…What for?” He stammered.

“Congratulations! How can I not congratulate you!” his auntie was laughing ecstatically. “Sister Lengthy has met the ‘Divine Nun of the South Sea’ [nan hai zhen ni]. This can be a very extraordinary future.”

Yang Guo’s face seemed puzzled: “Divine Nun of the South Sea? Who’s that?”

“Nan Hai Shen Ni is a divine Buddhist nun with a really excessive degree of martial arts,” she defined, “Simply how excessive her talent is, no one can inform. As a result of she seldom involves the mainland, virtually no one within the Central Plains knew her large identify. My father met her and was taught a really high-level fist method. That was sixteen, thirty-two … sure, it was thirty-two years in the past.”

“Thirty-two years in the past?” Yang Guo repeated absent-mindedly.

“Sure,” she continued, “I feel the ‘Divine Nun of the South Sea’ is nearly 100 years previous now. In keeping with my father, she at all times visits the mainland as soon as each sixteen years. Woe to the evil males who crosses her path. She has a benevolent coronary heart and is at all times prepared to assist anyone in want. I’m certain Miss Lengthy has met her, was taken as her disciple, and was taken again to the South Sea.”

“Sixteen years … sixteen … Reverend, is there such particular person?” Yang Guo turned to Yideng. His voice was hoarse.

Yideng was about to reply with an “hmm” when Huang Rong shortly lower him off. “The ‘Divine Nun of the South Sea’ excels in martial arts, however her character is a bit bizarre. Reverend, have you ever ever met her?”

“The previous monk is unlucky, he has not met her,” he answered, shaking his head.

Huang Rong sighed. “Ah, that Senior is actually ignorant,” she stated, “to separate a younger couple like that…and for sixteen years! Sister Lengthy already possesses a degree excessive martial artwork. After sixteen years, would not her husband seemed like rooster in comparison with her?” Then she burst out in laughter.

“No, Auntie Guo, I do not assume that was what she had in thoughts,” countered Yang Guo.

“What then?” requested the aunt?

With out additional ado Yang Guo reminded her, that Guo Fu unintentionally struck her with a “Soul Freezing Needle” whereas his spouse was reversing her blood movement to treatment her damage. That precipitated the poison to assault her inside organs. “If what you stated is true, I feel the Shen Ni is making an attempt to treatment her inside that sixteen years interval.” He sighed, “You realize, earlier than this new growth, I assumed Lengthy’er’s situation was terminal.”

“That spoiled brat of mine really has precipitated you two too many troubles,” stated Mrs. Guo. “I feel you might be proper. That poison has resided inside Sister Lengthy’s physique for too lengthy. Even when she was given a miracle treatment, she would definitely want a very long time to get better absolutely. Guo’er, allow us to hope that Sister Lengthy will get better sooner, and that the ‘Divine Nun of the South Sea’ will launch her sooner too.”

Yang Guo was misplaced in thought with a coronary heart filled with questions. It was exhausting to consider his auntie, but the Xiao Longnü’s letter appeared to corroborate her argument. If she killed herself, why would she say sixteen years? All of a sudden he turned his gaze towards Huang Rong and requested, “Auntie Guo, how have you learnt Nan Hai Shen Ni took Lengthy’er away? Why did not Lengthy’er say so within the message, in order that I would not fear?”

“I got here to that conclusion due to the phrases ‘sixteen years later’,” she defined. “I do know this for a reality, that the ‘Divine Nun of the South Sea’ visits the mainland solely as soon as each sixteen years. No person else has that peculiar behavior. Reverend, have you ever recognized anyone else with that customized?”

“No,” he answered.

“Father stated that the Shen Ni doesn’t prefer to be talked about,” Mrs. Guo continued, “so it is comprehensible if Sister Lengthy didn’t point out her identify within the message. My solely concern is that I’m not certain the ‘Severed Gut Grass’ will save your life. If … Ay! … if sixteen years go and Sister Lengthy comes again and she or he can not see you, it is extremely doable that … that she wouldn’t wish to reside any longer.”

Yang Guo shed some extra tears. He might see clearly in his thoughts a shadow of issues to come back. He noticed a white shadow; it was his spouse, comeback to satisfy him sixteen years from now. He then noticed his spouse was grieving as a result of he was no extra.

A delicate breeze blew and Yang Guo shivered. “Auntie Guo,” he stated, “I feel I might higher go to the South Sea to seek out her. Have you learnt the place the Shen Ni lives?”

“Guo’er, do not be foolish,” rebuked his auntie softly, “The ‘Nice Knowledge Island’ [da zhi dao] the place the Shen Ni lives has by no means been visited by strangers. Woe to the person who visits the island uninvited. My Father obtained her tutelage, however even Father has by no means set foot on this island. Now that she’s taken Sister Lengthy underneath her wing, I’m assured that sometime you two will meet once more. What’s sixteen years anyway? It is going to go within the blink of a watch. Why do it’s important to rush?”

Yang Guo seemed intently at Huang Rong’s face and requested, “Auntie Guo, are you telling me the reality?”

“You go and study that message,” she countered, “If that message was not written by Sister Lengthy, you’ll be able to say no matter you need.”

“It was certainly written by Lengthy’er herself.” Yang Guo stated, “Each time she writes the character ‘Yang’, she at all times add a brief stroke on the proper. No person writes it like that.”

“Superb, then,” stated his auntie, clapping her palms. “Actually, I wasn’t certain myself. I assumed it was an excessive amount of of a coincidence. I assumed it was Brother Zhu’s doing making an attempt to consolation you.”

Yang Guo was misplaced in thought once more, his eyes stared exhausting on the Damaged Coronary heart Cliff. “Very properly,” he lastly stated, “I’ll take the ‘Severed Gut Grass’. If it fails, I hope sixteen years from now Auntie will inform my poor spouse all the things.” He turned to Zhu Ziliu and requested, “Uncle Zhu, how do I take the grass?”

Zhu Ziliu solely knew the ‘Severed Gut Grass’ was a toxic plant. He had no concept on how that poison would neutralize different poisons. Subsequently, he turned to Yideng and requested, “Shifu, I feel we’d like your perception on this matter.”

Extending his proper hand forefinger, Yideng shortly sealed 4 of Yang Guo’s accupoints: the ‘shao hai’ [lit. lesser sea], ‘tong li’ [lit. open inside], ‘shen males’ [lit. divine gate], and ‘shao chong’ [lit. little highway]. These 4 accupoints will be categorized as the fundamental optimistic passages of the ‘shou shao yang xin jing’ [elementary positive heart manual(?)]. Yang Guo felt a heat feeling flowing from these accupoints towards his chest, and loosened the tightness in his breast. “The Passionless Poison principally assaults the organs intently linked to the sentiments or feelings,” Yideng defined, “The ‘Severed Gut Grass’ poison would most definitely assault your coronary heart as properly. Subsequently, I sealed your 4 accupoints to guard your coronary heart. Go forward, take some strands.”

Yang Guo bowed to specific his gratitude.

Yideng sighed, “If my Martial Brother have been right here, he would know learn how to take it correctly, in order that we’d not need to make a wild guess.”

When the Divine Indian Monk was killed by Li Mochou, Yang Guo thought Xiao Longnü was past hope, so he desired to die; however now he was decided to reside for no less than sixteen years longer. He put the grass into his mouth and began to chew, then swallowed it. The ‘Severed Gut Grass’ was very bitter, however he endured it. He considered how depressing Xiao Longnü can be if, sixteen years from now, she got here again and didn’t see him. He shortly sat down and exerted his inside power to guard his coronary heart, liver, and different delicate organs.
