Xiao Longnu has always been cold and detached, she knew that the only person in the world whose emotions towards her were as hot as fire was Yang Guo, but right now, when he saw Ouyang Feng, he was also like this. She feared leaving the mountain and sat aside pondering.
After Ouyang Feng and Yang Guo separated at the Iron Spear Temple, he hid under the large bell; Ke Zhen E couldnât get at him. He meditated with his divine skills to cure his internal injuries, after seven days and nights his internal energy had recovered. But the external injuries that he received from Ke Zhen E were not minor; he wasnât able to recover from them in such a short time. When he left the large bell, he went to an inn and rested his wounds for twenty days. When his wounds were healed, he went and looked for Yang Guo. But a month had passed, the world is a large place, how could he find him? He thought, âThe child is most probably on Peach Blossom Island.â He got a small boat and sailed to the island. He didnât dare to approach during the day, so at night he anchored in a bay behind a mountain. He knew he wasnât a match for Guo Jing and Huang Rong, plus he didnât know that Huang Yaoshi wasnât on the island. Even if his skills were twice as good, he wouldnât be able to fight all three of them. During the day he hid in a cave on a wild piece of land, and patrolled at night. The layout of the island was ingenious; he didnât dare run around where ever he pleased. Over the year, he was extremely cautious, in the light of day he didnât dare to take one step out of the cave, no one discovered him. One night, after his one meeting with Yang Guo, he heard the Wu brothers chatting and then he knew that Guo Jing had sent Yang Guo to the Quanzhen sect to learn martial arts. Ouyang Feng was pleased, he stole a boat and left the island, and rushed to Chongyang Palace. But he didnât know about the incident between Yang Guo and the Quanzhen sect, or that he was now in the Tomb of the Living Dead. Quanzhen was ashamed of what happened, no one talked about this matter, Ouyang Feng couldnât get any news from them. He searched for miles and miles around Mount Zhongnan, but he didnât know that Yang Guo was below ground so of course he couldnât find him.
Tonight by chance, he was walking by the valley when he saw a girl dressed in white with folded arms, sighing and looking at the moon.
Ouyang Feng asked madly, âHey, whereâs my son? Have you seen him?â
Xiao Longnu glanced at him, then ignored him. Ouyang Feng went over to her and grabbed her arm, and shouted, âWhereâs my son?â
Xiao Longnu felt that his hands were extremely powerful, she had never met someone with such high skills, even the skilled fighters of Quanzhen could not compare. She was startled and used her a little capturing hand kung fu to escape. Ouyang Fengâs grab was a certainty but he could not have guessed the opponent could just lightly brush him off; he didnât ask who she was and attacked. Thatâs how the two started their fight.
The two of them told each other what had happened to them. Ouyang Feng was half clear and half confused, he wasnât able to explain clearly what had happened in the past, and didnât understand much of what Yang Guo said. But when he mentioned that in the past few years he has been learning martial arts from Xiao Longnu, Ouyang Feng loudly said, âHer kung fu is not as good as mine. Why are you learning from her? Let me teach you.â Xiao Longnu didnât want to argue with him, she smiled calmly and went off to the side by herself.
Yang Guo felt this wasnât polite and said, âFather, Master has treated me extremely well.â
Ouyang Feng was jealous and said, âSo sheâs good and Iâm not?â
Yang Guo smiled and said, âYou are good as well. On this earth, only you two treat me well.â
Ouyang Fengâs words didnât make sense, but Yang Guo knew that he had suffered many hardships in the past few years searching for him.
Ouyang Feng held his hand, he laughed foolishly and after a while he said, âYour kung fu is not bad, itâs a pity that you donât know the worldâs two most powerful martial arts.â
Yang Guo said, âWhat are they?â
Ouyang Fengâs eyebrows rose and he shouted, âYou are a martial artist yet you donât know the worldâs two most powerful skills. Whatâs the point of having her for a master?â
Yang Guo saw that he was pleased and angry; he was concerned about him and thought, âFatherâs illness is serious, when will he able to recover from it?â
Ouyang Feng laughed loudly and said, âHmm, let father teach you. The two most powerful skills are, one, the âToad Stanceâ, two, âNine Yin Manualâ. Iâll first teach you the foundation of the âToad Stanceâ. He then recited the formulae for it.â
Yang Guo smiled and said, âYouâve taught me before, donât you remember?â
Ouyang Feng scratched his head and said, âSo youâve already learned it, thatâs great. Show it to me.â
Since Yang Guo entered the Ancient Tomb sect, he hasnât practiced the strange skill that Ouyang Feng taught him; when he heard what he said, he immediately did as he was told. He had practiced it when he was on Peach Blossom Island, now with the advanced internal energy he has developed; he was able to demonstrate it spectacularly.
Ouyang Feng laughed and said, âGood! Good! Even though the stances donât match, itâs better than nothing. Iâll teach you the rest of it now.â He waved his hands and bent his legs, and started reciting non stop, he didnât care if Yang Guo remembered it or not, he taught a section of âToad Stanceâ, and then taught him a section of the âContrary Nine Yin Manualâ (the deliberately flawed version of the Nine Yin Manual). Yang Guo listened for half an hour, and felt that the formulaeâs ingenuity was boundless, but it was complicated and strange, how would he able to understand in just a short while of time?
Ouyang Feng continued for a while when he caught a glimpse of Xiao Longnu from the corner of his eye, and called out, âAh, itâs no good, I donât want your baby Master to secretly listening in on us.â He went over to Xiao Longnu and said, âHey, little girl, Iâm teaching my son kung fu, donât secretly listen in.â
Xiao Longnu said, âWhatâs so good about your kung fu? Who wants to steal it?â
Ouyang Feng thought for a while, and said, âFine, just go far away.â
Xiao Longnu was leaning against a tree and calmly said, âWhy do I want to listen? If I want to go, Iâll go, if I donât want to go, I wonât.â
Ouyang Feng was angry, his eyebrows raised and he stretched out his hand to grab her face, but Xiao Longnu pretended she didnât see and ignored him.
Yang Guo called out, âFather, donât disrespect my Master.â
Ouyang Feng took his hand back and said, âFine, fine, we are going to a far away place, are you going to follow us and listen in?â
Xiao Longnu thought that Guoâerâs Godfather was extremely impolite; she didnât want anything to do with him and turned around without a reply. She didnât guess that her back would suddenly become numb, Ouyang Feng had stretched out his arm and sealed a pressure point on her back, he was uncannily fast, plus Xiao Longnu wasnât aware, by the time she felt something was wrong and put her guard up, it was too late, her whole body was paralyzed. Ouyang Feng then sealed another pressure point on her waist, he smiled and said, âLittle girl, donât be anxious, after Iâve completely taught my son kung fu, Iâll come back and release you.â He then laughed loudly and walked away.
