But there was something that left me quite puzzled.“That’s not quite right. Master, how could you be a third generation disciple?” Without even calculating carefully I could tell that the time element was a bit preposterous.Ah Yi also seemed to gain his senses. “Yeah. My history is pretty bad, but I’m pretty sure the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty [81] was a really long time ago.”I suddenly thought of a possibility. “Maybe master happened to get ahold of Founder Chen’s handwritten secret manuals, and that was how you learned all you awesome kung fu?”Master shook his head painfully. “I most certainly am Heaven Reaching Sect Master Chen’s senior disciple, and all my kung fu was painstakingly taught to me directly by him. He carved me out one palm at a time. Ai, there was much pain and suffering that occurred in the past. The affairs of human life are profound and strange, and the lessons we learn cannot be avoided.”I still didn’t understand, and could only ask, “Did Founder Chen live a really long time?”Master leaned against the wall, tears streaming down his face. “Master Chen met with great catastrophe, and he only lived to fifty-four years of age.”Ah Yi and I were completely befuddled, not sure what to ask.If our Master was personally taught by his Master, wouldn’t that mean he was born during the Ming Dynasty? It seemed that he was once again spouting nonsense.He wiped his tears away and said, “Yuan Zai, do you think Master is a lunatic?”I shook my head, ignoring my true thoughts. “Master, you are a great person. You’re not a lunatic.”He blew his nose with a laugh. “Actually, the past few decades, I’ve been called a lunatic wherever I went. When all is said and done, the average person would have no way to accept the story I am about to tell.”I thought about everything that had happened to me, and how no one had believed me. It had been so painful and lonely. So I sincerely said, “Master, no matter what you say, I will believe you!”His eyes glistened. “Really?”I nodded my head. “Even if no one else under heaven believes, Ah Yi and I will stand by you.”Ah Yi could only agree with me. “Correct,” he said grudgingly.Next, Master let out a deep sigh, and then tirelessly recounted a horrific, blood-soaked story from the histories of the martial world.I was the son of an ordinary peasant, and I lived in Huang Clan Village, the eldest of my siblings. Dad and Mom called me Ah Jun [82]. It was a very dignified name, not randomly picked like Ah Mao or Ah Gou [83]. Dad took my astrological name chart to the local teacher and begged him to help select it. They had deep expectations for me.At that time, I worked in the field all day with the villagers. If God favoured us, we would eat a little more. If the county Mandarin or the landlord were in a bad mood, we would eat a little less. When the busy season was over, I would take my brothers along with some of the neighbor’s children into the woods to play. Since I was a bit older, I of course was the ringleader.One afternoon, I led everyone into a scuffle with the neighbouring Li Clan Village. Afterwards, when we came out of the woods, we happened across a burly man laying concealed in the bushes. Everyone was afraid he was dead, and scattered in fear. Only I had the nerve to climb forward and check out the situation. I saw that his shoulder, chest, and belly were soaked with blood. His eyes were wide open; he was most likely dead.I moved closer, thinking that maybe I would be able to find some money, when suddenly he blinked, and said with a laugh, “You’ve got a lot guts, little buddy.”I was so scared my legs became weak. I wasn’t sure if he was a man or a ghost.The big man laughed happily. “I’m a person. And I’m a good person. You don’t need to be afraid.”I’d never seen a ghost before, but since it was broad daylight and the man was laughing, my dread lessened by about half. Nervously, I said, “What’s wrong with you?”Derisively, he said, “Can’t you see that I’ve been injured, buddy? There’s no need to pay any attention to me. Go hide somewhere far away. If my enemies come back, they might take your little life!”
As I listened, I felt quite nervous. “You think I’m some kind of coward?”
Beads of sweat covered the man’s face, but he still laughed. “Even though my injury is pretty serious, my enemies won’t benefit from returning. At the worst, we will die together. If you’re really not afraid of death, kid, then great. Here, take this!”
He pulled out three heavy gold ingots and said, “Take it. One of them is for traveling expenses. The other two are my expression of thanks. Go to Yingcai Peak for me. Tell the leader of the Heaven Reaching Sect that the unworthy disciple Jie Xuan has let him down. He’s a dyed-in-the-wool true man, but sadly, he won’t be able to dispatch any more local strongmen. He must depart, and the next time he meets the other heroes will be in the afterlife!”
I took the gold and listened. Hearing his awe-inspiring speech really moved me; tears seeped from my eyes.
The big man laughed and pulled out some pieces of silver. “Don’t worry, little buddy. Look, I still have some silver left. I plan to spend it on the way back to Yingcai Peak.”
He laughed, and then coughed up some dark blood.
I gritted my teeth. “Yuancai Peak is too far. I’ve never even gone farther than the woods before.”
The man seemed shocked. With a laugh he said, “Well that’s really too bad. But you have some gold now. You’re rich! Come on, get going, quickly.”
I shook my head, grabbing the big man and helping him up. He was surprised, and was about to start speaking but I cut him off: “Are you looking down on me?”
He laughed helplessly. He let me support him, and we staggered together toward a nearby brook to wash him clean of the stench of blood. I scrounged up some skinny sweat potatoes and handed them to the man.
Chewing on the sweet potatoes, he gripped my hand weakly, and laughingly said, “It’s a true pleasure to be able to meet a true man like you before I die.”
That made me very happy. We chatted for a while, and then I finally understood how he had come to be injured.
It turned out the man was a chivalrous expert of the martial world. He had sacrificed much to slay the Sword Devil of the Central Plains Chu Liuxiang. Afterwards, all the devils of the unorthodox sects of the twin provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi had joined together in an alliance to kill him. The man was hit by a sneak attack palm from Ouyang Feng, and also struck in the back by Zhang Wuji’s Thunderbolt Club [84]. Therefore, he was forced to flee. He traveled in secret until he could not hold out any longer, and collapsed.
“Don’t worry. Ouyang Feng and Zhang Wuji both were struck by my palm. They also need to recover. The rest of the unorthodox gremlins and clowns are nothing. If they show up in pairs, I’ll kill them in pairs.” As he spoke, he coughed up blood.
