But another seven, eight monks came towards them. Guo Xiang saw that they were surrounded and raised her elegant eyebrows and said to Jueyuan and Zhang, "The both of you are so fussy, you lack a hero spirit! Do you want to leave now?" Zhang Junbao said, "Master, Miss Guo has only good intentions…"
At this point four monks came up the slope, although they didn't carry weapons but judging their body posture they were experts.
Guo Xiang knew that using force would be futile so she just stood still and waited to see what would happen.
The first monk walked up and spoke to Guo Xiang, "The elder of the Luohan Hall ordered that the intruder was to lay down her weapon and was to be taken to the YiWei pavilion for questioning."
Guo Xiang scoffed, "The monks of Shaolin have mastered the air of government officials. All of you speak a bureaucratic tone! I'm wondering whether you're officials to the Song emperor or officials to the Mongolian emperor?"
At this time, the entire northern territories of China were in hands of the Mongolians, the Shaolin monastery fell under Mongolian jurisdiction. However, the Mongolians were busy deploying their troops so they had no time to control any temples, monasteries. Everything in Shaolin remained the same.
The monk felt embarrassed by Guo Xiang's remarks and his face turned red and he felt that giving orders to outsiders was not very appropriate. He put his palms together and said, "May I inquire what business you have here, Benefactress. Would you please lay down your weapon and go to the YiWei pavilion where tea will be served and we have some questions we would like to ask."
Guo Xiang heard his tone became a bit more friendly and thought this would be a good chance to stop and said, "I don't care if you let me enter or not. It's not like Shaolin has any treasure and I'm not willing to benefit from it." She turns to Zhang Junbao and quietly asked, "Are coming or not?" Zhang Junbao shook his head and looked at his teacher saying his place is here. Guo Xiang loudly said, "Alright then, I will not interfere. I'm off," and started walking down the slope. The first monk moved away but two other monks blocked her. And said, "Lay down you sword!" Guo Xiang raised her eyebrows and put her hand on the hilt. The first monk explained, "We don't want to keep your weapon, we will return it when you leave Mount Shaoshi. This is our rule, please forgive us."
Guo Xiang heard his tone was polite and thought, "If I don't leave my sword, there is bound to be a fight and alone I'm no match for these monks. But if I leave my sword, I will disgrace my parents, brother Yang, sister Long and my grandfather."
She was still thinking, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of her and shouted, "You come here with a weapon, injured two of our disciples. What's the meaning of this?" And he formed a claw and grabbed Guo Xiang' sword. If this monk didn't use force, Guo Xiang would surely hand over her sword after some consideration. She isn't like her elder sister Guo Fu. Although she is straightforward, she is not rash. Seeing this disadvantage, she would have complied and discussed this matter with her parents and Huang YaoShi and come back for an explanation. But now this monk used force, how can she watch her sword being grabbed away?
The monk's grip was firm and he held on to the scabbard. He wanted to quickly disarm her. Because it would not be proper for a monk to be pulling and pushing with a pretty young girl. Guo Xiang couldn't hold on to the scabbard and pulled out her sword. The monk used his right hand to seize the scabbard but his two fingers on his left hand were cut off.
The other monks were angry when they saw their martial arts brother wounded and picked up their wooden rods, cudgels and attacked. Guo Xiang knew that she had no choice but to fight now and used "Descending Flower Swordsmanship" to defend herself.
The Descending Flower Swordsmanship was derived from Huang YaoShi's Divine Descending Flower Sword Palms. Although this swordsmanship is not as refined and excellent as the "Jade Flute Swordsmanship", it was still a special technique from the Peach Blossom Island. The monks saw green flashes surging, the sword dancing, making it seem like flowers descending. In a few moments, two monks were injured. But other monks took their places and soon Guo Xiang was completely surrounded. She would've been overwhelmed if not for the fact that the monks were benevolent and not willing to harm her life. All their stances were to immobilize her and not to kill her, so they would lecture her and escort her away from here. Also, all the monks saw that this young girl had learnt superior martial arts and they thought that she must be either the daughter of famous martial arts experts or at least the disciple of a skilled martial arts expert. So they didn't want to make any enemies, so every stance was rather limited. Some monks went to notify the elder of the Luohan Hall.
In the heat of the battle, an old tall monk came and observed the fight with a smile on his face. Two monks approached him and told him something.
Guo Xiang was panting and her swordsmanship was becoming disorderly and she yelled out, "What origin of martial arts? ten monks surrounding one person, what a way to win?"
That old monk was the elder of the Luohan Hall, reverend Wuse, when he heard this he said, "Stand back everyone!"
All the monks jumped away. Reverend Wuse asked, "What is your name, Miss? And who is your father and teacher? What business do you have here at Shaolin?"
Guo Xiang was thinking, "I can't tell him my name. And I cannot reveal my reason in front of so many people. If my parents and brother Yang found out the mess I created they will be upset, the best thing to do is sneak away." She answered, "I can't tell you my name, I just came here to enjoy the scenery. I never guessed that the Shaolin Monastery was even stricter than the imperial palace, with no reason your weapon will be confiscated. I would like to ask, did I enter the monastery? When Master Damo taught Shaolin martial arts he just wanted the monks to improve their conditions and concentrate on their meditation through martial arts. But when Shaolin became more and more famous, and their martial arts kept improving, now the Shaolin monks rely on martial arts to flaunt their superiority. Well you can have my sword, and if you don't kill me, everyone in the realm of martial arts will know what happened today."
Guo Xiang is famous for being clever and fluent, this entire matter was actually her fault but with those words she rendered reverend Wuse speechless. She thought, "I don't want anyone to know about this, and it seems that Shaolin doesn't want the outside world to know about this incident either. A group of ten monks attacking a young girl will not do their reputation any good."
She threw her sword on the ground and started walking away. Reverend Wuse walked up and used his sleeve to pick the sword and said, "Miss, I will return your sword and see you off respectfully."
Guo Xiang smiled sweetly and said, "It seems that you're very reasonable. That's more like it. That's the style a martial arts expert should have."
Seeming that she won, Guo Xiang just praised this old monk and reached out to get her sword back. When she wanted to pull back, she noticed it didn't move an inch. She used strength three times but in vain, and she said, "You're deliberately displaying your martial arts." Suddenly her left hand curled up and softly wanted to brush against Wuse's two left cheek acupoints, namely 'TianDing and JuGu.' Wuse moved away and released his grip. Guo Xiang quickly seized her sword.
