Yang Tiexin thought the Taoist's rudeness was completely uncalled for, so he just lowered his head and didn't bother to answer. Guo Xiaotian cupped his fist and replied, "The two of us were just sitting by the fire keeping warm and drinking wine when we saw Father walking alone in the snow. So we boldly asked if Father to join us, please forgive us for our offenses." The Taoist rolled his eyes and said rather loudly, "Alright alright! If you want to drink then let's drink!" And he walked through the door.
This made Yang Tiexin even angrier, he grabbed the Taoist's left wrist, and with a pull he shouted, "Still haven't ask as to how to address Father." Suddenly he felt as if he was grabbing onto a slippery fish rather than a hand as the Taoist's hand escaped his grasp. He knew he was in trouble and tried to back away, but before he could, a pain shot through his wrist as the Taoist grabbed his wrist. It was as if he is cuffed, feeling both enormous pressure and heat, he hurriedly tried to struggle out of the Taoist's grasp. But his entire right arm felt lifeless and weak, with his wrist in great pain.
Guo Xiaotian knew his adopted brother is getting the worst of it from his blood red face. He just wanted to make an acquaintance and wanted to avoid offending the Taoist, or anyone in the martial world for that matter. So he spoke up, "Father, please sit here." The Taoist sneered a couple of times more and let go of Yang Tiexin. He walked to the center of the room and sat down in a rather ostentatious matter before saying, "The two of you are obviously from ShangDong, yet are here pretending to be farmers. Pity that your accents are still obviously of ShangDong dialect. Why would a peasant know any kungfu anyway?"
Yang Tiexin felt both embarrassed and angry as he walked into the backroom. He took out a small dagger from the drawer and hid it in this shirt before walking back out again. He poured out three cups of wine and toasted one for himself, all the while not saying a word.
That Taoist just stared at the snow outside of the house with a sneer on his face, not drinking any wine nor saying anything. From the hostility on the Taoist's face, Guo Xiaotian figured that he is suspicious of any trickery in the wine. So he took the cup of wine in front of the Taoist and drank it. Then he said, "Wine gets cold very quickly. Father, let me get another warm one for you." He poured another cup for the Taoist, which the Taoist drank down in one gulp. Afterwards the Taoist said, "Even if there are knockout drugs in the wine, it wouldn't get to me." Yang Tiexin finally had about all he can take, "We nicely invited you to come and have a drink with us, why would we tried to harm you? If you plan to keep talking in such a manner, then please leave now! It's not like we had sour wine and rotten food that we can't get rid off!"
The Taoist ignored him and grabbed the wine bottle. Pouring and drinking, he downed three cups in a row. Then he suddenly took off his bamboo had and cape and threw them on the ground. Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin looked him over carefully. The Taoist is about thirty or so, squared face with slanted eyebrows and a hint of redness. His eyes were bright and piercing. Next he untied the leather bundle on his back and threw it on the table. Immediately, Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin jumped up. Because from the leather bundle rolled out a bloody human head!
Bao Xiruo screamed in fear and ran into the back room. Yang Tiexin felt his chest to make sure the dagger is in place. The Taoist gave the leather bundle a shake and two more bloody objects fell out, a heart and a liver. From the looks of them they are probably not pig heart and pig liver but very likely to be human. Yang Tiexin shouted, "Taoist bastard!" as he took out the dagger and thrusted it towards the Taoist's chest.
The Taoist snickered, "Eagle Talon. So you want to fight now?" He lightly hit Yang Tiexin's wrist with his left hand. Yang Tiexin felt a numbing pain in his wrist as his fingers lost all their strength. Before he knew it, his dagger has already been taken away.
Guo Xiaotian was just shocked to see all this. He knows that his adopted brother is the descendent of a renowned hero and his family's kungfu is slightly superior from his own from their daily sparring. But it was as if he was nothing in front of this Taoist, the move that he just pulled off was obviously "Bare Hand Seizes Blade", a skill that he has only heard of in the martial world. He immediately picked up a wooden bench that he was sitting on, waiting to block the dagger when the Taoist inevitably stabs back at his adopted brother.
But the Taoist completely ignored them. He just wildly cut the human heart and liver to pieces with the dagger. Suddenly, he let out a huge roar, so loud that it rattled the tiles on the roof. He lifted up his right hand and brought it down hard, so hard that the contents on the table all jumped at the impact. The two men looked over and saw he had just smashed the head into smithereens, even the middle of the table was cracked. The two of them were still recovering when the Taoist shouted, "Shameless scoundrels, today I will have to break the no-killing rule big time!"
Yang Tiexin couldn't be any angrier; he grabbed the iron spear that was leaning against the corner of the room and jumped outside. He shouted back, "Come on! Let's teach you a lesson in the art of the 'Yang Family Spear'!" The Taoist snickered a bit, "You think you are worthy enough to use the 'Yang Family Spear' based on all this fake bravado?" He walked out the door as he was finishing the sentence.
Seeing the situation has deteriorated to this point, Guo Xiaotian ran back to his house and got his double halberds. When he got back the Taoist was still standing there with his sword still in the sheath and his sleeves flapped noisily in the wind. Yang Tiexin yelled out, "Unsheath your sword!" The Taoist replied, "Even if the two of you come at me together, I would still fight you with my bare hands."
Yang Tiexin made a gesture signaling he is about to start and followed it with a "Poisonous Dragon Coming Out from the Cave". The red tassel on his spear shook, creating a huge flash of red heading towards the heart of the Taoist. The Taoist was briefly surprised and praised, "Excellent!" His body went along with the spear and dodged to the left. His left palm spun around and came up to meet the spear head in an attempt to grab it.
Yang Tiexin has worked hard with this spear since he was a little kid and fully received his father's skills. Yang Family Spear is nothing to scoff at, back then, Yang Zaixin took a spear and thirty0 Sung soldiers into battle against 40000 Jin soldiers at Little Merchant Bridge. In the battle, they killed more than two hundred0 Jin soldiers, not to mention one Ten-Thousand-Head, as well more than 100 Thousand-Heads and Hundred-Heads. Actually, the Jin arrows came flying in like rain, as soon as he was hit by an arrow, he would break the wood part off and keep on fighting. At last, his horse got tripped up in mud and he finally gave his life for his country. When the Jin army burned his body, the amount of melted metal from the arrow heads topped an amazing two liters. This battle shocked and scared the Jin army and made Yang Family Spear famous in all of China.
