| Yang Guo begins his training in Chong Yang Palace but as soon as Guo Jing turns his back and heads for home, the two-faced Taoists start mistreating the boy. They are still smarting from the way Guo Jing defeated and humiliated them in front of Master Qui and they decide to take out their grudge on the boy. Instead of teaching Yang Guo kung fu, Zhao Zhi Jing sends him out on useless errands like sweeping the temple courtyard or forcing him to memorize countless texts from the books on All True Sect Kung Fu (Quan Zhen). Yang Guo's volatile temper and defiance do nothing to abate his teacher's ire. The fat Taoist beats him everyday for every little mistake that he makes while Zhao Zhi Jing insults and humiliates him. Staying up late one night memorizing yet another book, Yang Guo finds himself thinking about the girl in the Ancient Tomb. It has been nearly a year since he first came to Zhong Nan Mountain and in all this time, he has not learned even the simplest of kung fu techniques. Yang Guo decides suddenly to leave the temple and go back to his home in Peach Blossom Island. While wandering in the forest, he finds a sinister-looking woman carrying a red sash and trying to break into the Ancient Tomb. When the woman sees him, she throws some poisoned needles in his direction. The deadly needles miss their target but as Yang Guo picks one up, the poison enters his bloodstream and his hand begins to darken. Frightened, Yang Guo runs back to the temple but he is stopped along the way by a strange old man standing upside-down. The old man has lost his memory but he still remembers his kung fu and his knowledge of poison antidotes. He strikes a deal with Yang Guo, who reminded him painfully of his dead son. "I will help you if you follow and obey me and call me 'Father," he said. After much deliberation, Yang Guo agrees. The old man then holds him upside-down to remove the poison from his body. Then he proceeds to teach him how to develop his nei gong and use his chi to act like a physical force in a technique called Ha Ma Gong (Toad Stance). Page 1 Page 2 |
