Chapter - 83 Carvings Left By Chongyang (3)

Xiao Longnu was delighted and said, "Very good, I can relax now." She held his hand tightly, not letting go. Yang Guo felt warmth returning to her hands.

Xiao Longnu said, "Guo'er, I haven't been kind."

Yang Guo quickly said, "No, you have always been kind."

Xiao Longnu shook her head and said, "I treated you terribly before, at first I kicked you out of the tomb, it was lucky that Grandma Sun made me promise to take care of you. If I didn't turn you away, Grandma Sun would not have died!" When she said this, she couldn't stop tears flowing from her eyes. She had begun to practice martial arts at the age of five, and had never cried since; now she cried heavily, she was in a disturbed state of mind, her bones and joints made cracking noises, and she felt her internal energy draining away from her.

Yang Guo was alarmed and said, "Gu Gu, what's happening? How are you feeling?"

Just as he said this, two 'zha' 'zha' noises were heard from behind and the stone door opened, Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo entered. Once the 'Dragon Snapping Stone' had been set, Li Mochou thought they were going to die anyway so there wasn't any need to be wary of the tomb's booby traps, and boldly dashed throughout the tomb. She managed to go through some rooms before finally arriving at Grandma Sun's room. She knew she must have had extraordinary luck, she managed to avoid the booby traps but she didn't know that the tomb's booby traps were actually designed to repel Jin soldiers, once the large heavy stones had been set, someone must activate the traps to ambush the enemy. Xiao Longnu didn't do this, and so the tomb's booby traps were not armed.

Yang Guo immediately darted across, and blocked Xiao Longnu.

Li Mochou said, "Move out of the way, I have something to say to your master."

Yang Guo was afraid that she was going to harm his master and didn't dare to move and said, "Just say it there."

Li Mochou stared at him for a while and sighed, and said, "There are very few men like you left in this world."

Xiao Longnu got up and asked, "Apprentice sister, is it good or bad that you have described him this way?"

Li Mochou said, "Apprentice sister, you have never left the mountain, you don't know how evil people's hearts can be. Someone who views love and passion as deeply as him, it would be difficult to find another under heaven's skies." She has been hurt by love, her anger and fury was great, and she killed many men in the world who were loving and passionate.

Xiao Longnu was extremely pleased and quietly said, "If that is true, then having him die with me won't make my life be without purpose."

Li Mochou said, "Apprentice sister, who exactly is that person to you? You want to marry him?"

Xiao Longnu said, "No, he is my disciple. He said I treat him extremely well. But whether I have been kind or not, I don't know."

Li Mochou was puzzled, she shook her head and said, "Apprentice sister; let me see your arm." She stretched out her left hand and grasped Xiao Longnu's arm, she lifted her right arm's sleeve and saw on her white skin a red dot, it was the 'shou gong sha' (virginity dot) left by her master.

Li Mochou was secretly respectful, "The two of them having a relationship like this in the tomb yet they've kept respect, she is still a pure and untouched virgin." She then rolled up her sleeve, a 'shou gong sha' was on her arm, the sight of two white arms next two each other was captivating. She had no alternative but to be chaste; however her apprentice sister has a lover who was willing to die for her, fortunate and unfortunate. The two women were very different, she couldn't stop herself from sighing, and let go of Xiao Longnu's hand.

Xiao Longnu said, "What have you got to say to me?"

Li Mochou had originally wanted to insult her, saying that she seduced men and had brought the sect to shame, and thereby anger her into revealing the way out of the tomb. But right now she had nothing to say. After a while, she had another idea, and said, "Apprentice sister, I have come to apologize to you."

Xiao Longnu was shocked by this, she knew that her apprentice sister was a very proud woman, never has she lowered her head to anyone, she didn't know what she wanted. So she calmly replied, "You live your life, and I live mine, we go our own ways, there is no need to apologize for anything."

Li Mochou said, "Apprentice sister listen to me, in my entire life, the happiest time was when I had a lover. There's an old saying 'It's easy to get money and treasures, but it's difficult to find a lover'. There is no need to talk about sister's bitter life. That young man treats you well, you do not lack anything."

Xiao Longnu smiled and said, "Yes, I am very happy. I know that he will never forget about me."

Li Mochou's heart ached and said, "You should leave the mountain and enjoy life. It's a beautiful world; the two of you together will have boundless pleasures."

Xiao Longnu raised her head and quietly said, "Yes, it's just a pity that it is too late now."

Li Mochou said, "Why?"

Xiao Longnu said, "The 'Dragon Snapping Stones' has been set, even if our Master was resurrected, will we not be able to get out of here."

Li Mochou quietly breathed out, blowing through her lips and thought, "you had hoped to take advantage of Xiao Longnu's will to live, and rely on her familiarity with the tomb to find a way out; but in the end it was useless", she became angry and her urge to kill suddenly emerged, her hand twisted slightly and she raised a palm towards Xiao Longnu's head.

Yang Guo was at the side listening to the two of them talking when he suddenly saw Li Mochou attack, alarmed, he automatically lowered his body and threw out two palms, called out, and unleashed the "Toad Stance" that Ouyang Feng had taught him. This was the kung fu he learned when he was younger, but since he lived in the tomb he did not practice it. But it was etched in his mind, at the most dangerous times he would use it without thinking. Li Mochou's palm had yet to be unleashed, when she suddenly felt an extremely powerful wind pushing her from the side, she quickly sent the palm out to block the attack. Yang Guo had practiced martial arts in the tomb for two years, his internal energy had improved, though it was different to the internal energy of the "Toad Stance", the power behind the push was still great, a thudding sound was made as he sent Li Mochou across the room, and she crashed into the wall causing pain in her back.

Li Mochou was angry and she wiped her palms, in the middle of a battle she fell into someone's trap.

Xiao Longnu knew that Yang Guo's last attack was a lucky hit, if her apprentice sister used her most refined "Divine Serpent Palm", Yang Guo and she would not be able to hold her off. She grabbed Yang Guo's arm and dashed towards the door.

Li Mochou sent out a palm, she didn't guess that while her palm was in midair she would be struck across the left cheek. Although it didn't hurt the sound was crisp, she heard Xiao Longnu call out, "You want to learn the skills of the "Jade Heart Manual"; well here it is!" Li Mochou was struck on the right cheek and she was also startled by what she said. She knew that the "Jade Heart Manual" was extremely powerful, and now she saw Xiao Longnu's palm was extremely swift and quick, the variations mysterious, it was undoubtedly from their sect's skills. But she couldn't see through it or understand the essence of the palm, but knew that the skills just used belonged to the "Jade Heart Manual". She immediately became frightened, and stared as her apprentice sister took Yang Guo's hand and exited the room, shutting the door. She felt her cheek and thought, "At least she held back, if she used all her strength behind the palms, wouldn't I have died?" She didn't know that Xiao Longnu had yet to complete this kung fu, although the palm stances were refined, the power in them would not hurt anyone.
