Flying Dust

Flying Dust [Fei Chen]

Chapter 55 Part 1

“If I didn’t guess it wrong, it should be ‘ten days of drunkenness’. Madam Qu and Miss Qu probably were being set up secretly when they went to the temple to burn incense.” Lu Qingmo frowned, “But this is also the same poison that Ye Su used in her earlier years in Jiang Hu. Could it be that she has really returned to the Bai Xue Cult?”

 

“It is natural and certainly possible.” Qu Shaofeng pressed his brow, “After all, the Bai Xue Cult is in the limelight right now. But what exactly do they want?”

 

“Since Ye Su didn’t use the deadly poison but left Madam Qu and Miss Qu being unconscious, then she is bound to offer her conditions accordingly, we just need to wait for her to contact us.” Lu Qingmo took a sip of the tea.

 

Qu Shaofeng sighed as he returned to his wife’s side. 

 

Mo Fei Chen lowered his head since he was very worried. Why did Madam Qu go to the temple to ask for well and peace yet in return, she got such a result? Feeling his wrist being held, he raised his head and met the calm and gentle gaze of Lu Qingmo.

 

“Thank you.”

 

Lu Qingmo smiled, “For forever, you need not to say thank you to me.”

 

After the high noon, a little beggar brought in a letter, the content of it asking Mo Fei Chen to meet the person at the QingShi Temple outside the city on that very night and he was only allowed to go there alone.

 

“Just like this, I don’t need to bring anything?” Mo Fei Chen flipped the paper over and over.

 

“I want to go with you. My qing gong is very good, Ye Su won’t find out about it.” Lu Qingmo’s tone was very sure and determined.

 

Mo Fei Chen raised his eyebrows, “Even if I told you not to go, you wouldn’t agree to it, right?”

 

“Even if I told you not to go, you wouldn’t agree either.”

 

Before he left, Qu Shaofeng pulled Mo Fei Chen and said, “Mo Shao Xia, this… is a matter between Yu Lin Sect and Bai Xue Cult, if anything bad happens to you after this, this old man…”

 

Mo Fei Chen smiled lightly, patted the back of Qu Shaofeng’s hand and said, “Trust me, Sect Master Qu. This is definitely not only just a matter between you and Bai Xue Cult.”

 

Because my mother and my little sister were sleeping, not waking up. 

 

When they arrived at the QingShi Temple outside the city, Mo Fei Chen thought it would be a deserted place like in martial arts TV dramas, but he didn’t expect it to be a small temple, but it still had some incense.

 

Mo Fei Chen slowly walked in. There was only one Buddhist temple and three monks were sitting in front of the Buddha statue, knocking on wooden fish (a percussion instrument made of a hollow wooden block, originally used by Buddhist priests to beat time when chanting scriptures) and seemingly chanting. Mo Fei Chen looked at their backs and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

 

These three men were not sitting cross legged in a very natural way. It was too much to ask for these Bai Xue Cult people to pretend to be monks. Moreover, the back of one of them looked like a girl.

 

“Miss Ye, I am already here.”

 

The three monks were still sitting in a meditation posture as before, which made Mo Fei Chen feel a bit uninterested (bored).

 

A light breeze passed by the door, Mo Fei Chen turned his head and saw a woman draped in black coloured overcoat in her shoulder elegantly approaching the door, slowly taking off the brim of her hat to reveal her beautiful and elegant face.

 

“Ye Su.” Mo Fei Chen squinted his eyes, he was a bit surprised because in his impression, all women who used poison should either have their faces ruined like He Hong Yao 1[何紅藥: He Hongyao, a character in Jin Yong’s novel, ‘Sword Stained with Royal Blood’ (碧血剑) , is an infatuated woman with high martial arts skills. When she was young, she helped her lover to steal the Golden Snake Sword and the Golden Snake Cone, the treasures of the Five Poisons Sect, but was abandoned and punished by the sect by disfiguring her face. She eventually found the bones of her lover, but was trapped by his trap and eventually died with him.] or Zhu Erl2[Zhu erl is character that her face also ruined from the novel or TV Drama : ‘Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre’], or they should be like the bewitching (alluring type kind of woman) Madame Ma, but Ye Su only wore some light make-up, she was quite charming and graceful. 

 

“Mo Shao Xia…” Her voice had a bit of a vicissitudes of life flavour to it,”Do you know why I invited you here instead of Sect Master Qu or Lu Qingmo?”

 

“Because my kung fu is not as good as theirs, so you can (manipulate) control me better?”

 

“Hn, that’s one reason but there is another reason to it…” Ye Su raised her wrist and only then did Mo Fei Chen vaguely notice that her fingertips seemed to be wrapped with some kind of silk thread, and the three fake monks behind her also stood up, “Because you are the most suitable puppet to use against Lu Qingmo.”

 

Before Mo Fei Chen could turn around, the three people were already attacking him.

 

Fei Chen Sword spiraled out; in an instant, the three of them were forced back. When he saw their faces, he couldn’t help but be greatly shocked, one of them was Meng Yu, another one was Luo Qing Yu and the other was a girl who was a female disciple of the Lianxia Cave.

 

Their eyes were dull and their facial features were numb (lifeless).

 

“What have you done to them?”

 

Ye Su laughed softly as the Yin Quan Sword flowed out from her fingertips, unlike other swords, the Yin Quan Sword’s  internal energy was Yin or feminine energy kind of style therefore when Mo Fei Chen’s Flying Dust Sword fought with his opponent, he felt extremely strange or bizarre.
