Chapter - 138 Junior Buhui Crossed My Wall (6)

She thought of her deceased husband from these few lines. The two of them were husband and wife for ten years and were incomparably loving, once separated by 'yin' and 'yang' (i.e. life and death), no longer having a chance to meet, if one was to live on it was like wandering destitution in a foreign land. On the contrary death would be a return to native land, so when the enemy had poisoned her husband, Hu Qingniu's refusal to treat him was not necessarily a bad thing. "Native land? Native land? But after returning to the native land, would it really be better than the foreign land?"

However the little girl standing beside the Golden Flower Granny did not understand these few lines of Zhang Wuji's at all, not knowing why once the granny heard them, had become still as if she was crazy. Her pair of beautiful eyes looked at the granny, then looked at Zhang Wuji, shifting from the two's faces back and forth. Finally, the Golden Flower Granny took a breath, and said, "Matters of the nether realm, cannot be ascertained. Although death might not be frightening, but no mortal will not die, at the end of this life, it is difficult to escape that day. To be able to live one more day, is one day more!"

Zhang Wuji, having seen Ji Xiaofu and the fifteen others cruelly wounded by the Golden Flower Granny and also the dread of the Hu Qingniu couple towards her, did not even have the courage to run away. He thought that this Golden Flower Granny was an extremely brutal person, but on meeting her it seemed otherwise. That day he caught a glance of her under the light and did not get a clear look. At this moment he saw that she was clearly a kind and gentle old granny. Although her face was hard and stiff, full of wrinkles and totally devoid of feeling, but her eyes were sparkling clear, with the liveliness of a young woman, and displayed warmth and kindness.

The Golden Flower Granny asked again, "Child, what is the respected name of your father?" Zhang Wuji answered, "My father's surname is Zhang, first name Cui second name Shan, a Wudang disciple." But he did not mention his father's suicide.

The Golden Flower Granny was shocked, and said, "You are the son of Wudang's Fifth Hero Zhang, does that mean that evil person who used 'Xuanming' Divine Palm to hurt you was for the whereabouts of the Golden-Mane Lion King and the Dragon-Slaying Sabre?" Zhang Wuji replied, "Correct, he inflicted all kinds of torture on me, but I would rather die than say it." The Golden Flower Granny said, "You really know it?" Zhang Wuji answered, "En, the Golden-Mane Lion King is my godfather, I absolutely would not reveal it." The Golden Flower Granny's left hand shot forth and captured his hands with her palm. Only to hear his joints making a "ge, ge" sound, Zhang Wuji's hands were so painful that he also fainted, he felt a bone-penetrating chill of cold 'qi' transmitted from his hands to his chest, this cold 'qi' was different from 'Xuanming' Divine Palm, but it had the same unbearable feeling. The Golden Flower Granny said gently, "Obedient child, good child, tell of Xie Xun's whereabouts, granny will cure your cold poison, and pass on a set of invincible martial arts to you." Zhang Wuji was in tears from the pain, fearlessly replying, "My parents would rather give up their lives, than reveal the location of a friend. Golden Flower Granny, you look upon me as one who would betray his parents?" The Golden Flower Granny smiled and replied, "Very good, very good! Your father? Is he here?" The transmission stopped and the iron-like fingers that gripped his hands loosened. Zhang Wuji said loudly, "Why don't you pour mercury into my ears? Why not force me to swallow metal needles, swallow leeches? Four years ago when I was only a child, I was already unafraid of all kinds of torture from those evil people, now that I am grown up, could it be that I have degenerated?" The Golden Flower Granny laughed loudly "haha", and said, "You think you are an adult, not a child anymore, haha, haha……" She laughed a few times and released Zhang Wuji's hands, only to see that the wrists of his hands to his fingertips, had turned a purplish-black colour.

That little girl shot him a meaningful glance, and said, "Quickly thank Granny for her mercy in sparing your life." Zhang Wuji gave a "heng", saying, "If she killed me, maybe I would be a little happier, what is there to thank?" That little girl wrinkled her brows, replying angrily, "You are disobedient, I am going to ignore you!" Saying this she turned away, but surreptitiously peeped at him to see what he was doing. The Golden Flower Granny laughed loudly, "Ah Li, you were alone on the island, without a young companion, it must have been lonely!" Let us capture this little child and tell him to serve you, how about that? The only thing is he has the temper of a donkey, being too stubborn and not very obedient." That little girl's long eyebrows raised, she clapped and laughed, "Wonderful, let us capture him then! If he is disobedient, won't Granny think of a way to control him?" Zhang Wuji was hearing the two of them going back and forth, and became very anxious. If the Golden Flower Granny was to kill him on the spot, that would be fine, but if he were to be captured and brought to some island, to suffer the two's torture and be half-alive or half-dead, it would be more unbearable than anything else.

The Golden Flower Granny nodded, "Follow me, first we have to find someone, accomplish a task, then go back to Lingshe (Spirit Snake) Island." Zhang Wuji said, "You are not a good person, I will not accompany you." The Golden Flower Granny smiled, "Our Lingshe Island has everything, things to eat and play, you have not even seen them before. Obedient child, come follow Granny." Zhang Wuji suddenly turned around and ran away quickly, who knows as soon as he took a step, the Golden Flower Granny was in front of him again, and said gently, "Child, you will not be able to escape, come follow us obediently." Zhang Wuji gritted his teeth and sent a fierce palm towards her, the Golden Flower Granny turned sideways and blew a breath towards his palm. Zhang Wuji's palm had already been made black and swollen by her, now that this breath came it was like using a sharp knife to cut into a wound, being so painful that he leapt up.

All of a sudden a girl's voice could be heard, "Brother Wuji, what are you playing? I'm coming as well." It was precisely Yang Buhui that had come, followed by Ji Xiaofu who emerged from behind the trees and walked over. The mother and daughter duo had just strolled back from the field, unexpectedly seeing the Golden Flower Granny, Ji Xiaofu's face paled. Finally gathering her courage, she said tremblingly, "Granny, you cannot trouble children?" The Golden Flower Granny stared fixedly at Ji Xiaofu, and laughed coldly, "You are not dead yet? This old granny's affairs, need you to chatter about as well? Come over here to let me take a look, why have you not died to this day?"

Ji Xiaofu came from a martial family, was a high disciple of a famous school, and was originally very courageous, but now she took her daughter into consideration and did not dare to get into danger. Clutching her daughter's hand she retreated a step instead, and said quietly, "Wuji, come over."

Zhang Wuji felt like going over. That little girl Ah Li turned her palm over and caught the 'San Yang Luo' on his shoulder, and said, "Hold it there! You are called Wuji, surnamed Zhang, you are Zhang Wuji, is that it?" Once this 'San Yang Luo' was clasped, half of Zhang Wuji's body immediately became numb and weak rendering him immobile. He was shocked and angry, and shouted, "Release me quickly!" Suddenly a crisp and clear female voice was heard, "Xiaofu, how can you be so useless? Go over if you want to!" Ji Xiaofu was shocked but happy, turned around and said, "Master!", but there was no trace of anyone behind her. She looked carefully, only then did she see a grey-robed nun slowly walking over from a distance away, precisely the headmaster of Emei, her master Miejue Shitai*. Following behind her were two disciples, one was her elder martial-sister Ding Minjun, one was her younger martial-sister Bei Jinyi. The Golden Flower Granny saw that she was so far away that even her face could not be seen clearly, yet her voice was transmitted to everyone's ears as though she was very close, which was sufficient proof of her profound internal energy. Miejue Shitai was very well-known, everyone in the martial world had heard of her, only that she rarely left the mountain and not many people had met her personally. As she came nearer, it could be seen that she was about forty-four to forty-five years of age and her features could be considered beautiful, but her two eyebrows arched downwards, her appearance was strange, and resembled the 'Lu Si' ghost from stage a little. Ji Xiaofu went to kneel down and kowtowed to her, and greeted quietly, "Master, you are well." Miejue Shitai replied, "You have not angered me to death, I can still be considered well." Ji Xiaofu continued kneeling and did not dare to get up. But hearing the cold laughs from Ding Minjun standing behind her master, as if she had said numerous bad things about herself to their master, she could not help breaking out in cold sweat. Miejue Shitai said icily," This granny told you to go over and let her take a look as to why you have not died to this day. You go over and let her take a look."
