Chapter 12: Very Big Part Three
“Do you still remember her name?” he asked Shang Guohen.
“We stole her from the Yangtze-South Mo Family, but I don’t remember what her name is. You know that I have a bad memory,” Shang Guohen said apologetically.
“Mo Ningzhi.” Mu Xiaoyao jumped onto the beam and said while lying down, “She will grow into a beauty.”
[TL Note: Ningzhi is a word used to describe how smooth and beautiful a woman’s skin is.]
…
“Can you tell who did it?” Seeing that Fang Jie had fallen asleep, Shang Guohen pressed on an acupoint in Fang Jie’s neck, making the latter instantly lose consciousness. When he talked with Mu Xiaoyao, he always did this to Fang Jie.
Shang Guohen walked to below the beam and said to Mu Xiaoyao, “I still find it a little strange.”
“Can’t tell. There are only a few figures in the world who can do this. The closest one is that wild man on Sleeping Immortal Mountain. I heard that Li Yuanshan locked him in an iron cage like a wild animal, so it shouldn’t be him. Although we don’t step out of this room, we can feel it when such a master comes… Unless this figure is so powerful that we can’t detect.”
“Impossible!” Shang Guohen said, “Even if you can’t detect it, my nose should be able to smell it.”
“We don’t need to think more of it. It is only beneficial for Fang Jie. Since this figure helped him, it saved us a lot of trouble. Otherwise, for Fang Jie not to be sucked into a dry corpse by the poisonous bug, we could only nurture him with our blood until we find the three precious medical ingredients, which are essence sunflower, fragrant core grass, and seven-horned snake. The world is so big; it would be hard to find them. We might not be able to find them even when we run out of blood.”
“He is extremely fortunate.”
Shang Guohen glanced at the brazier and said, “Your silk bag contained the pill that would wake up the poisonous big, and my sword box contained the method to control the poisonous bug. By training him for ten days, he will become a zombie that has no senses and will only move when ordered. I don’t understand why Master wants to do this. I have been thinking about this for 15 years, but I can’t figure it out. Afterall, Fang Jie is his…”
“Just don’t think about it then.” Mu Xiaoyao lay on the beam and said, “We can’t go back now.”
“Yeah… we can’t go back. Therefore, we have to go to Chang’an as soon as we can. This place isn’t peaceful. Martial Arts Academy in Chang’an, One Qi Daoist Temple on Pure Joy Mountain, and Three Pure Daoist Temple on Wudang Mountain. These are the only three places that those people don’t dare to go to. Pure Joy Mountain and Wudang Mountain won’t let us live there, so we can only go to Chang’an.”
“Immortal Abode Pavilion at Eastern Chu, Dark Creek Garden in Southern Yan, First-Tier Villa in 100,000 Mountains are all famous places, yet they can’t contain us.”
“Only Great Sui, only Chang’an.”
“I heard that Chang’an is big,” Shang Guohen said, “It is at least 100 times bigger than Fangu.”
Mu Xiaoyao replied, “The bigger the better. If it is big, we wouldn’t get bored until we die.”
“Then, we will live there until we die.” Shang Guohen nodded as his eyes brightened.
