Yet another moment someone was reciting softly, "Once one make a dwelling one can stay for several dozens years." Guo Jing recognized it was Ma Yu's voice, the intonation was really gentle and soothing. Tan Chuduan continued, "With disheveled hair walking all day long like crazy." His voice was straightforward and heroic. Guo Jing peeked outside and took a good look on the Second Master of the Quanzhen Seven Masters. He saw a muscular face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his body looked big and sturdy. Before he became a priest Tan Chuduan was a blacksmith in Shandong. After he entered Quanzhen Sect, his title was Changzhen [Eternal Truth] Zi.
The third Taoist priest was thin and small, his face looked like a monkey; he was Changsheng [Eternal Life] Zi, Liu Chuxuan. He continued the recitation, "Chongyang Zi [from 'Wang Chongyang] underneath the 'hay tang ting' [ocean cherry-apple pavilion]." His stature might be small, but his voice was loud and clear.
Changchun [Eternal Spring (season, not water spring)] Zi Qiu Chuji opened his mouth, "Tai yi xian [I think he is a Taoist deity] in the lotus leaf boat." Followed by Yuyang [Jade Sun] Zi Wang Chuyi, "Nothing can get out of an empty shell." Guangning [Infinite Peace] Zi Hao Datong was next, "There's someone who can reach enlightenment before being born." Lastly Qingjing Sanren [Sage of Tranquily] Sun Bu'er recited, "Leaving home with a smile without any obstruction." Ma Yu concluded, "Cloud in the West Lake, moon in the sky!"
Mei Chaofeng listened to these seven recitations, each voice carried an abundant 'qi' in it, a sign of their deep internal energy. She was secretly shocked, "Are the Quanzhen Seven Masters really here this time? It can't be. Other than Ma Yu, the others' voices are not the same."
On the peak of Mongolian desert cliff she had heard Ma Yu and the Six Freaks of Jiangnan pretending to be the Quanzhen Seven Masters talking to each other. Her eyes were blind, so she depended a lot on her extremely keen ears; her memory was also superb, once she heard anything, she would not forget it. She did not know that Ma Yu was deceiving her that day.
"Ma Daozhang, you must be well since our last meeting!" she said with a clear voice. She knew Ma Yu was showing her mercy the other day. Although she was vicious, she knew the good from evil. When Tan Chuduan could not overtake Zhou Botong he decided to return. On his way back he saw that Mei Chaofeng was using a living person to train her martial art. Being a man of chivalry and righteousness, he went forward to prevent evil; who would have thought that he was not her match. Fortunately Mei Chaofeng recognized him as a Quanzhen Sect priest. Out of her respect to Ma Yu she did not kill him, she only injured him and chased him away.
Ma Yu said, "I am very fortunate! Thank you! The Peach Blossom Island does not have any enmity with Quanzhen Sect. Is your honorable master coming soon?"
Mei Chaofeng was startled, "Are you expecting my Shifu?" she asked.
Qiu Chuji called out, "Witch! Quickly get your Shifu over here to experience Quanzhen Sect's real skill."
Mei Chaofeng was angry, "Who are you?" she called out.
"Qiu Chuji!" Qiu Chuji said, "Haven't you, the demon, heard my name?"
Mei Chaofeng cried out loudly, her body flew up to the direction of Qiu Chuji's voice. Her left palm was protecting herself, and her right claw striking downward.
Guo Jing knew that this pounce by Mei Chaofeng was swift and ruthlessly fierce, it was really difficult to block, although Qiu Chuji's martial art was good, he would not be able to take it head on. Who would have thought that he was still sitting cross-legged on the ground; he neither parried nor evaded.
"Not good!" Guo Jing shouted inwardly, "How can Qiu Daozhang be this bold?" He saw that Mei Chaofeng was about to grab the top of Qiu Chuji's head, suddenly two palm winds came from left and right; it was Liu Chuxuan and Wang Chuyi striking together. Mei Chaofeng's right claw continued to strike, while her left palm swept horizontally to block Liu and Wang two people's palm strikes. Who would have thought that these two palms were complementing one another, one 'yin' [negative], the other 'yang' [positive], the power, unexpectedly, was much stronger than the internal strengths of two people added together.
Mei Chaofeng felt this surge of power in midair; it was like a cannonball pushing her upward. Hastily she changed her right claw into a palm, striking downward then she flipped her body backwards and landed on the threshold. She was unable to restrain her shock, thinking that these two people's skills were very profound, certainly above the Quanzhen Seven Masters. "Is Hong Qigong and Emperor Duan in here?" she called out.
Qiu Chuji said with a smile, "We are the Quanzhen Seven Masters. What Hong Qigong or Emperor Duan?"
Mei Chaofeng was puzzled, "Tan Laodao [old Taoist] was not my match; how come there is such an expert among his martial brothers? Could it be there is such a big difference in skill among them even though they came from the same school?"
Guo Jing in the other room was also puzzled; he thought that although Liu and Wang two people's martial art skill was higher, they were more or less in par with Mei Chaofeng or with her senior. Even if those two combined their forces, they would not be able to casually throw her out like that. Only Zhou Botong, Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng, and other people of their caliber would have this kind of ability; how did the Quanzhen Seven Masters manage to do that?
Mei Chaofeng's temper was very bold; other that her own Shifu, she did not fear anybody in the world. The more she suffered setbacks, the more she would act recklessly. That day on the peak of the Mongolian's cliff Ma Yu was speaking to her amiably, treating her in good manners and let her go without giving her too much difficulty. But today Qiu Chuji believed Qiu Qianren's lies that Zhou Botong had been killed by Huang Yaoshi; he also believed Huang Yaoshi killed Guo Jing. His hatred toward the Peach Blossom Island went deep to his bones and marrows; he kept calling Mei Chaofeng 'yao fu' [lit. goblin/witch/devil/monster woman]. Mei Chaofeng knew perfectly well that her enemies were not her match, but she was not willing to give up. She only hesitated for a moment before she reached into her waist to pull her 'du long bian' [poisonous dragon whip] out. "Ma Daozhang!" she called out, "I must offend you today!"
Ma Yu replied, "You flatter me!"
Mei Chaofeng said, "I am going to use my weapon. Unsheathe your swords!"
Wang Chuyi said, "There are seven of us while you are alone, plus your eyes cannot see a thing. Even if the Quanzhen Seven Masters are unworthy, we cannot use weapons against you. We will sit and not move; you can start!"
Mei Chaofeng coldly said, "Do you want to face my silver whip sitting motionless?"
Qiu Chuji scolded, "Witch, tonight you will lose your life, what more do you want to say?"
"Humph," Mei Chaofeng snorted. Her right hand flicked, the long whip full of hooks in her hand moved slowly like a big python straight toward Sun Bu'er.
In the other room Huang Rong listened their conversation; she knew how fierce Mei Chaofeng's 'du long bian' was, the Quanzhen Seven Masters went as far as daring to take the whip sitting motionless and barehanded, she wanted to know how they were going to do that. She pulled Guo Jing away from the hole and told him that she wanted to watch.
She saw the Quanzhen Seven Masters sat in a formation inside the room; it suddenly dawned on her, "This is the Big Dipper constellation! Hmm, right! Didn't Qiu Daozhang mention the Big Dipper formation?" Huang Yaoshi was proficient in astronomy and the study of calendar calculation (almanac). When Huang Rong was small she often sat on her father's knees in a clear night, looking at celestial constellation, hence she immediately recognized the positions of the seven Taoist priests.
