Chapter 2 – Child of an old friend, Part 2
Wu Santong jumped out of the kiln, and saw Li Mochou standing at the entrance, and thought in wonder, “It has been ten years, yet she still looks like she did then.”
He had recognized that she had now become a priestess, but he couldn’t change his way of greeting her, and greeted her as he had before as Miss Li. Within these past ten years, no had called her “Miss Li”; now when she heard those words, her heart moved, her memories and feelings as a young girl rushed to her chest. But then she remembered she could have spent her life with the person she loved, but there existed a He Yuanjun who caused her to lose her loved one. She was resigned to being alone forever. As she thought about this her emotions came over her again and she was unable to resist the pain.
Wu Santong is another one who had his love rejected; even though their love was a different sort, it is still love. When he was searching for Lu Zhanyuan, he saw with his own eyes Li Mochou kill He Lao Quanshi’s family, a total of twenty men, women, old and young without remorse or feeling. To think about it made him shiver. He Lao Quanshi and she had never met; they had no feuds and no relations to He Yuanjun. But because they shared the same surname, it provoked her hate and fury and she killed every last member of the He family. Even before he died, he didn’t know the reason for his death. At the time Wu Santong didn’t intervene, as he didn’t know the background to the matter. Only after he heard that it was for this simple reason, he swore to himself that he would treat her with the utmost hate and disgust. He saw that she had a gentle, kindly smile but she could change that to a cold and evil smile immediately. He was extremely worried about the safety of the two girls.
Li Mochou said, “I only printed nine palms on the Lu’s wall, I must kill those two girls. Wu Santong, please step aside.”
Wu Santong replied, “Lu Zhenyuan and his wife are dead now, his brother and wife died under your hands, its only two girls, you can just leave them.”

Li Mochou grinned and shook her head, gently saying “Wu Santong, please step aside.”
Wu Santong gripped tighter to his chestnut tree and said, “Miss Li, the reason for your hatred is Ah Yuan.”
When the two words ‘Ah Yuan’ was said, Li Mochou’s face changed and she said, “I once swore that whoever mentioned that slut’s name in front of me will be killed by me or I would perish trying. I once destroyed sixty-three families in their boats on the river Yuan simply because they shared the name of that slut. Surely you’ve heard of this? Master Wu, it is your fault, so don’t blame me.” While she said this she swung her weapon at Wu Santong’s neck.
Though she seemed to have swung her fly whisk lightly, the stroke was fierce and quick, causing Wu Santong to fly right and left above her to avoid the strokes. She knew that Wu Santong is a high disciple of Reverend Yideng, although he is in a state of confusion, his kung fu was still solid; when the need arose he could still kill. Wu Santong’s left hand straightened, the tree trunk came out with great force, and swept across. Li Mochou saw the power in this, and immediately floated away, avoiding getting struck by the trunk. She didn’t wait for him to use the trunk again and flew in front attacking, trying to break inside. Wu Santong saw that she was heading into the kiln, and raised his right hand, and pointed a finger at one of her pressure points, and unleashed “Solitary Yang Finger” at her.
Though his “Solitary Yang Finger” wasn’t fast enough to hit a pressure point, the move had many changes, and had to be avoided. Li Mochou used “Strike the Golden Clock” and immediately jumped back ten feet. Wu Santong saw her moving forwards and backwards, in a flash she had advanced and retreated so many times, his heart secretly quivered. When she was retreating he used his strength and used the tree trunk again to force her back. But as soon as he did this, she advanced right in front of him, if it wasn’t for the “Solitary Yang Finger”, he would have been out matched long ago. The tree trunk was heavy, and every time he moved it, he would exert a lot of strength, Li Mochou had noticed this, and tried to wear him out using this method.
Suddenly a flash of yellow went over to Wu Santong, Li Mochou had landed on the tree branch that Wu Santong was holding, and swept her fly whisk at him forcing him to drop it. Wu Santong jumped, and hurriedly picked up the branch from the ground. Li Mochou laughed, as she hurriedly went over to the tree trunk and stepped on it. Wu Santong turned around and extended a finger. She moved again, heading back towards the tree branch. After ten moves or so, when Wu Santong tried to sweep her with the branch, she flew onto the top of a willow tree. She let him attack with the tree trunk. This way, Wu Santong would use even more strength. Although she was fairly light she added to the weight of the tree that she was standing on, the trunk would not be able to knock her off. This position also allowed her to attack the kiln. She was in a position where she could not lose. Wu Santong glanced at her, and knew he must be patient; he wasn’t too concerned about his own life, but if the kiln full of old and young fell into her hands it would be terrible. At that time the tree trunk was flying wilder and quicker, fiercely colliding with the tree trying to shake Li Mochou out of it.
After a moment he heard Ke Zhen E shout, “Fu’er, you have arrived, quickly, get the eagles to get rid of that evil woman.” Following this a girl’s whistle could be heard, in the sky were two white images in formation descending. It was the two large eagles, attacking Li Mochou from the left and right. Guo Fu had arrived with the eagles. Li Mochou saw the two eagles coming at her so she held on to the tree tightly with her left foot. The eagles’ attack wasn’t successful and they headed back to the sky. The girl whistled again a few times. The two eagles came in for a second attack, and aimed at the underside of the tree.
Li Mochou had heard Peach Blossom Island’s Guo Jing and Huang Rong had a pair of giant eagles, who were almost telepathic with each other. At the time the eagles were coming together for an attack. She wasn’t worried about the eagles, but the fact they belonged to the Guo couple meant that the Guo couple must be nearby. This would complicate matters. Li Mochou dodged a few times, and then launched her own attack on the eagles, injuring one of the eagles’ left wing; the eagle screeched and fell to the ground. When Guo Fu saw that her eagle was hurt, she shouted out, “Eagle don’t be scared, keep attacking that evil woman.” Li Mochou looked at the girl who said this, and saw a little girl that seemed to have come from a beautiful painting and thought, “I’ve heard that heroine Huang was one of the most beautiful women in the world. I wonder how she compares with me? Is this girl her daughter?”
While she was being distracted, her moves slowed. Wu Santong saw that although the eagles were helping, they could still not force Li Mochou from the tree. Amid the chirping and screeching he fiercely hit the ground with his two hands, and caused Li Mochou to fly off the tree. Li Mochou could not predict that he would unleash such an unusual move, and was forced tens of feet into the air. When the eagles saw that she was in the air, they went in for another attack from above. When she had a secure grip, the eagles could not really harm her but now that she is in the air, how could she compete with them? In this desperate situation, she waved her fly whisk in front of her face to protect her head, and withdrew three “Soul Freezing Silver Needles”, and shot them out hurriedly.
Two were aimed at the eagles, the other one at Wu Santong’s chest. The eagles saw the needles coming and quickly flew higher to evade them, but the needles were traveling at such a high speed, and after a second, the male eagle was hit in a claw. Wu Santong was looking up when he saw the incoming needle, and leapt out of the way in a rush, but was still hit in his left leg. Wu Santong got up after a roll. He knew he had been hit in his left leg but didn’t call out. Left kneeling, he circulated his inner strength to allow him to support himself. His leg was now swollen and numb. He stooped down, and used his hands to try to support himself; but he could not and eventually fell down on to the ground motionless.
Guo Fu shouted, “Eagles, eagles come here quickly.” But the two eagles had flown far away, and didn’t turn back.
Li Mochou said, “Little girl, is your name Guo?”
Guo Fu saw that the woman standing in front of her was beautiful, she had a friendly disposition and did not look like an ‘evil woman’ and replied, “Yes, my name is Guo. What is yours?” Li Mochou laughed and said, “Come, I’ll take you to play,” while slowly walking towards her, with the intention to grab her.
Ke Zhen E, supporting himself with his iron staff, rushed out of the kiln and shouted, “Fu’er, run quickly!” Li Mochou laughed and said, “Scared I’m going to eat her up?”
At that time, a young boy in ragged garments holding a chicken in his left hand, and singing a folk song, rushed over and saw the people in the kiln and said, “Hey, what are you people doing in my home?” He went over to where Li Mochou and Guo Fu were and laughed and said, “He-he, old beauty you’re pretty, little beauty you are cute, are you two here to find me? However this person named Yang hasn’t got any beauties for friends.” His face carried a smirk and his attitude was sly.
Guo Fu sneered and said, “Who wants to look for you?”
The boy replied, “If you are not looking for me, why are you at my home?” and pointed to the kiln, indicating it was his home.
“Huh, who wants to go to that unsightly place?”
Madam Wu saw that her husband was on the ground, and didn’t know whether he was dead or alive. She came rushing out of the kiln to his side and said, “Brother San, are you okay?” Wu Santong gave out a moan and struggled to get up, but in the end he could not stand up. Gou Fu gazed afar but still couldn’t see the two eagles, and shouted, “Eagles, eagles, come back here!”
