His martial arts at that time was the worldâs greatest, the skills in the âNine Yin Manualâ were all profound and refined, after a glance and pondering for ten days, he understood, he laughed out loud to the sky, and returned to the tomb, and left the main aspects of the âNine Yin Manualâ on the ceiling in the most hidden room in the tomb, and the stances that would defeat the âJade Heart Manualâ. He studied the tombâs circumstances, and assumed that the heirs of Lin Chaoying would use the empty coffin. They would only use it when they were about to die and waiting for death, and at that time then they would know that the founder of the Quanzhen sect had never lost to anyone in his life. He left words on the lid of the coffin, telling the descendants of Lin Chaoying before they died, that the martial arts of the founder of the Quanzhen sect would not be defeated by the skills of the âJade Heart Manualâ.
At that time, he was just impulsive and proud, he didnât mean to leave the âNine Yin Manualâ behind in the world, and assumed that when the descendants of Lin Chaoying saw the âNine Yin Manualâ, they would be at their last breath and could only take the secret to the grave with them.
Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying were both gifted in martial arts, and formed a heavenly pair. Between the two, there wasnât a third person that interfered with the relationship; also they didnât have any matters to resolve with relatives, apprentice brother, sister or enemies. Before Wang Chongyang entered the priesthood, he concentrated on fighting the Jin, and had no time for relationships. When he lost the war and retreated to the tomb, it was Lin Chaoying who came and comforted him, she was kind and touching, there wasnât any reason for them not to be together. But from love it turned to hate, one became a Taoist; the other lived until death in the stone tomb. The actual reasons behind this, Qiu Chuji and the others did not know, it was difficult for Wang and Lin to explain themselves, they could only use the words ânot meant to beâ to label what happened. âNot meant to beâ was the result and not the reason for their falling out.
Both of them were highly skilled and very proud; each assumed they were the higher. Every time the seeds of love were about to sprout, they struggled over their martial arts, neither backing down, even until death. Lin Chaoying invented the âJade Heart Manualâ to defeat the skill of the Quanzhen. Wang Chongyang didnât admit defeat and so left the âNine Yin Manualâ in the tomb. Wang Chongyang thought about how Lin Chaoying invented the âJade Heart Manualâ by herself, and he himself relied on a book written by someone else, after their exchange, he yielded. After that he always warned his students to allow for times when they will be subdued, and to learn the Taoist ways well.
The map on the ceiling was left there when the tomb was first created, just in case the Jin surrounded the tomb, they would still have a way to escape. Even Lin Chaoying did not know about this passageway. Lin Chaoying only knew that once the âDragon Snapping Stonesâ have been set, they will perish with the enemy, she didnât know that when Wang Chongyang designed the tomb, he had a strong will to retake the central plains, how could he allow one defeat to stop him? Later on when Wang Chongyang gave up the tomb to Lin Chaoying, he was afraid that Lin Chaoying would look down on him for leaving a way to save his life if he had to use the âDragon Snapping Stonesâ. He would lose his manly air, so he didnât tell her about it out of pride.
Xiao Longnu didnât dare to look at the map, her eyes looked at another corner, and the words âUnsealing Pressure Points Techniqueâ caught her eye. She shivered, and looked at the words and was delighted, almost too delighted in fact as she almost forgot to hide her joy by calling out. The technique shows how to unseal oneâs pressure points, if one fire deviates when refining their kung fu, and the pressure points are sealed, they could use this technique to unseal it themselves. Those who practiced the âNine Yin Manualâ would have reached an extremely high standard of martial arts, it will be very rare for them to have their pressure points sealed by someone else; this technique was devised to quell oneâs inner demons. When one cultivates highly advanced skill, oneâs thoughts should be pure and clear. If your concentration is suddenly disturbed by random thoughts or anxiety (inner demons) the chances are high that youâll die. In Xiao Longnuâs present situation, it was a life saving technique.
She thought, âIf Iâm able to unseal my vessels, but canât defeat my apprentice sister, then it will of no use.â She then searched the writings on the ceilings, trying to search for a skill that she can use immediately, one that will, as soon as she uses it, allow her to subdue Li Mochou. After a quick glance she could see that each skill was hard and complicated, even the easiest one will take ten of days to learn. She didnât dare to any more; she was afraid that Li Mochou will follow her eyes, look above, and discover the ceilingâs map and âNine Yin Manualâ.
She heard Yang Guo calling and shouting, arguing with Li Mochou. It was fortunate, her careful apprentice sister was now not taking any notice of her, she suddenly thought of a plan. She turned her head and memorized the âNine Yin Manualâs Unsealing Pressure Point Techniqueâ and âAir Closure Techniqueâ (bi qi mi jue) sections, she moved her lips over Yang Guoâs ear and quietly taught him. Yang Guo immediately understood.
Xiao Longnu whispered, âFirst unseal your pressure points.â
Yang Guo was afraid that Li Mochou and her disciple would find out, so he loudly called out and talked rubbish, âAi ya, Martial Uncle Li, you are too ruthless, you are not respecting Ancestor Grandma, you further do not respect Ancestor Grandmaâs grandma, grandmaâs great grandma.â
The two followed the instructions of the âUnsealing Pressure Point Techniqueâ left by Wang Chongyang. The two have a good foundation, and in just a short while they managed to unseal their two pressure points. On the outside the two appeared still, but Li Mochou felt something was wrong and shouted, âWhat are you doing?â and walked up to them. Xiao Longnu quickly got up and threw out a palm, lightly striking her shoulder, it was the more advanced skills of the âJade Heart Manualâ. Li Mochou could never have guessed in a million years that she had the ability to unseal her pressure points and was alarmed, and quickly jumped back.
Xiao Longnu said, âApprentice sister, do you want to leave?â
Li Mochou was happy when she heard this, her kung fu seemed high, her intelligence rarely seen, right now she had been made a fool of and had been struck by the palms of a girl who has never seen the outside world. She couldnât prevent herself from getting furious, but she thought that she must hold her temper for the time being, first leave the tomb and then it still wouldnât be too late to finish them off. Although her stances were strange, there was no power behind them. It wasnât that she held back but because she didnât have internal energy; this meant that she wasnât anything special. Li Mochou laughed and said, âThatâs a good apprentice sister, Iâve already apologized, take us out of here.â
Yang Guo thought this would be a good chance to get in between the relationship of Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo and said, âGu Gu said that she is only able to take one of you out, is it going to be you or your disciple?â
