Liu Chuxuan said, "Tan Shige's footwork is faster than mine, perhaps he saw how Shishu was killed."
Sun Bu'er said, "Tan Shige has not come back till now, perhaps he also suffered harm under the old thief's hand …" Speaking to this point her face turned miserable, she stopped talking immediately.
Qiu Chuji drew his sword and called out, "Let us go quickly to rescue and avenge people!"
Qiu Qianren was afraid they might meet Zhou Botong, he quickly said, "Huang Yaoshi is aware that you are all gathered here, he could look for you anytime. This Old Heretic Huang is so evil, the Old Man here cannot allow him to continue like this. I am going to find him; you wait for my good news in here."
Everybody revered him as the senior, it would be inappropriate to defy his word; also they were afraid they would miss Huang Yaoshi if they were out looking for him, it would certainly be better to wait here for the enemy to find them and conserve their energy at the same time. Thereupon they bowed to express their gratitude and sent Qiu Qianren off to the door.
Qiu Qianren stepped over the doorstep and turned around to wave his hand, "You don't have to send me off too far. Although that Old Heretic Huang is fierce, I have a way to deal with him. Watch this!" He drew the shining sharp sword from his waist and aimed it towards his own abdomen. "Hey!" with a grunt he thrust the sword in.
Everybody called out in alarm; they saw more than half of the three feet sword went into his stomach. Qiu Qianren smiled and said, "Any sharp weapon in the world won't injure me. Please don't panic. If I can't find the Old Heretic Huang and he comes to find you here, don't fight him, avoid getting injured. Just wait for me to deal with him."
Qiu Chuji said, "The enmity of Shishu, it is impossible for the disciples not to avenge it."
Qiu Qianren sighed and said, "That's fine too, this is fate. If you want to seek revenge, there is one thing you must remember."
Ma Yu said, "Please give us your direction, Senior."
Qiu Qianren's face turned serious, he said, "As soon as you see the Old Heretic Huang, kill him immediately. Don't bother talking to him; otherwise, this enmity will forever be difficult to avenge. Important! Very important!" As he finished speaking he turned around with the sword still stuck in his abdomen.
Everybody looked at each other in amazement. Ma Yu and the others had vast experience, yet they had never heard of a sharp sword entering the abdomen and nothing happening; they thought this man's skill must have reached a level beyond measure. They did not know that it was another trick of Qiu Qianren: that sword was actually consisted of three sections, as soon as a light force was applied to the tip of the blade the first and second sections would automatically retract into the third section, the sword edge went through a seam in the waistband, hence for the spectator at a distance it looked like the sharp edge was entering the body. He had been hired by Wanyan Honglie to incite enmities among the Jiangnan heroes and warriors, so that when the Jin army attacked to the south they would not be united to fight the invaders.
For the rest of the day the Quanzhen Six Masters were restless; they could not drink tea or eat their rice, they stayed awake until the midnight of the seventh day. They heard some faint whistles come from the north of the village, two people, on in front of the other, came swiftly to the outside of the inn. Ma Yu, all six people were originally sitting cross-legged on the straw training their breathing exercises, because Yin Zhiping's skill was lower, he was sleeping. Hearing this noise they all jumped up immediately.
"The enemy is pursuing Tan Shidi," Ma Yu said, "All Shidis, be careful!"
Tonight was Guo Jing's last night to train and heal is injury. During these past seven days and nights not only his internal injury gradually healed, his external wound was also closing up, and both Huang Rong's and his own internal strength had enjoyed tremendous advancement. These last several hours would be very crucial to the entire healing process. Listening to Ma Yu, Huang Rong was very concerned. "If the incoming person is indeed Father, all Quanzhen Seven Masters will fight him immediately. I won't be able to come out and tell them the truth," she thought, "I am afraid the Quanzhen Seven Masters will be injured under Father's hand. I don't care much for Quanzhen Seven Masters, but Jing Gege has a close relationship with Ma Daozhang and the others. I know his character well; it would be difficult for him not to come out and help them. If he bravely steps forward, not only the entire exercise will be wasted, his life will also be in danger." Therefore, she quickly whispered in Guo Jing's ear, "Jing Gege, promise me that whatever happens, no matter what important incident, you must by all means not go out."
Guo Jing just barely nodded his head when the whistle had already arrived at the door.
"Tan Shige," Qiu Chuji called out, "Tian gang bei dou [lit. sky's stars north head – the Big Dipper constellation] formation!"
Hearing the 'tian gang bei dou' four characters Guo Jing's heart was stirred, he said to himself, "The 'bei dou da fa' [Big Dipper great method] is mentioned several times in the Nine Yin Manual as the foundation of learning the martial art. But the explanation of 'bei dou da fa' in the Manual is profoundly subtle, it was so difficult to understand. I wonder if Ma Daozhang and the others' 'tian gang bei dou' has anything to do with the 'bei dou da fa'. It's surely important to know." Busily he pressed his eye to the hole and looked out.
His eye was barely on the hole when he heard a loud 'bang!' the front door shook, and a Taoist priest flew in. But the priest's robe was lifted up, his left foot had already stepped over the threshold, suddenly he staggered back out of the door. It turned out the enemy had arrived behind him and had launched an attack.
Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi flew together towards the door, standing at the entrance their sleeves rose up and two palms struck together. 'Bang!' they collided with the enemy's palm. Qiu and Wang two people were forced two steps backward, the enemy also drew two steps back. Tan Chuduan took this opportunity to enter the room.
Under the moonlight his hair looked disheveled, with two traces of blood streaming down his face. The long sword in his right hand was only half of its original length, his overall appearance was a total wreck. As Tan Chuduan entered the room, without saying anything he sat down cross-legged. Ma Yu and the others also immediately sat in their respective positions.
From the darkness outside came a woman's gloomy voice calling out, "Tan Laodao [old Taoist], if I did not regard the face of your Shixiong Ma Yu, this old lady would have already delivered your life to the heaven early on. Why did you lead the old lady to come over here? Who had just exchanged palm strength with me? Tell it to Mei Chaofeng."
In the stillness of the night listening to her owl-cry like voice, although it was the middle of summer, involuntarily a chill crept on everybody's back. As soon as she stopped talking the silence came back, outside the door the insects' buzz was heard clearly. A moment later a series of cracking noises were heard. Guo Jing knew the noise came from Mei Chaofeng's joints, in a moment she would start making her move.
