| − | == Hong Qigong ==
| |
| − | * When Yang Guo examined him, he was a white haired and bearded old man; the clothes on him were old and torn. It appeared that he was a beggar. Although it was dark, the white snow reflected off him, there was a red glow to his face, yet he looked graceful.
| |
| − | * This person was the “Nine-Fingered Wondrous Beggar”, Hong Qigong. After he passed on the position of the Chief of the Beggar Clan to Huang Rong, he traveled alone, savoring the world’s finest foods.
| |
| − | * Whenever he saw injustice, he would secretly help; he killed evil doers and punished traitors with his abilities. No one knew where he was or where he went. Sometimes he would listen in on some Beggar Clan members talking; he knew that under the orders of Huang Rong and Lu Youjiao, the Beggar Clan was calm. The internal fight between the ‘dirty’ clothed and ‘clean’ clothed factions was subsiding; so had the outside force of the Jin and the Iron Palm Sect.
| |
| − | * Hong Qigong melted another two lumps of snow and cleaned the flesh of the centipede so there would be no traces of poison, and then he took out seven or eight small and large boxes from his back pack. In the boxes were ingredients such as oil, salt, jams, vinegar and the like. He placed some oil in the pan and fried the centipedes, immediately an appetizing scent flowed into the nose. Yang Guo saw that he was drooling, revealing his glutton side, he couldn’t stop himself from being startled and laughed at the same time.
| |
| − | * Guo Jing and Huang Rong had recited a small portion of the manual to Hong Qigong; it made an impression on his kung fu and great progress in his martial arts.
| |
| − | * Hong Qigong’s “Dog Beating Stick Technique” has nothing like it in the world, but he doesn’t use it casually; apart from this technique, he has many refined and ingenious rod stances and right now he was using them.
| |
| − | * "This 9-Fingered Divine Beggar, Elder Hong, goes about things in a truly mysterious manner. It's just like seeing the heavenly dragon's head but catching no hint of the tail."
| |
| − | * The beggar had a rectangular face with a hint of beard beneath his chin. All his four limbs were sturdy and bulky. Though his clothes were frayed and had obviously been patched in many places, it looked clean nevertheless. In his hand he held a green bamboo stick that was as bright and clear as jade, and on his back he carried a vermillion-red gourd.
| |
| − | * "Gluttony has always been a dumb habit of mine. When I think of food, I can forget everything else." Holding up his right hand that only had four fingers left, he said, "The ancient people spoke of the 'fidgety index finger', and they got it absolute right. Whenever I see or smell exquisite dishes and aromas, the index finger on my right hand would twitch non-stop. There was once where my gluttony ruined an important matter. In a fit of anger, I chopped off the finger..." An 'ah' escaped from Guo Jing. Sighing, Hong Qi-Gong said, "The finger might be chopped off, but my gluttonous nature still remains."
| |
| − | * "I'm hopeless at anything to do with books."
| |
| − | * Who would've guessed that underneath his gluttonous and silly guise, Hong Qi-Gong actually saw through her intentions all too well.
| |
| − | * "I'm lazy by nature so it is troublesome to be the leader of the beggars, but they couldn't find a suitable candidate, so I had to accept the responsibility."
| |
| − | * In over 35 years of training in the martial arts, Hong Qigong had learned a lot of diverse techniques.
| |
| − | * Hong Qigong's nose was able to smell food from a mile away.
| |
| − | * Hong Qigong suddenly said, "When I was young, my grandpa, my father and I were slaves of the Jins.
| |

| − | == Huang Rong ==
| |
| − | * Yang Guo knew that it was the pair of eagles that belonged to the Guo couple. When he was younger, he had played with the eagles on Peach Blossom Island; since the eagles were here, the Guo couple would be nearby.
| |
| − | * Huang Rong was wearing a light purple silk gown, but because she was the Chief of the Beggar Clan, she could only tie the gown with pins in the places where it doesn’t catch the eye and that was it.
| |
| − | * Huang Rong’s eyebrows wrinkled, she was resentful. She and the Quanzhen sect weren’t the greatest of friends; years ago they used the “Big Dipper Formation” against her father.
| |
| − | * Yang Guo has always been assured of his intelligence but when he saw that Huang Rong predicted things like a god, he couldn’t stop himself from being startled and in awe of her.
| |
| − | * An intelligent and beautiful woman who was the daughter of Huang Yao Shi (黄药师, below), she succeeded Hong Qi Gong as the Leader of the Beggars' Clan (丐帮). She fell in love with Guo Jing at first sight and married him.
| |
| − | * Her martial arts included Huang Yao Shi's Jade Flute Swordplay and Fallen Hero's Palm as well as Hong Qi Gong's Dog-Beating Stick Techniques.
| |
| − | * Huang Yaoshi said, “She marries her ideal man and forgets about the suffering and bitterness of others? My precious daughter only listens to her husband, ha-ha, ‘obey the husband when married’, that really is something!”
| |
| − | * “Rong’er, you usually recognize main principles. As soon as it involves matters of our children you lose your judgment."
| |
| − | * Huang Rong gently turned her head, rowed the boat and started singing in a crystal clear voice.
| |
| − | * "I somehow regret spending so much time studying novels and practicing art and calligraphy. If I hadn't pestered my father to teach me such stuff as well as all sorts of other things such as the interesting ways of calculations, I would have devoted more time to practice my martial skills."
| |
| − | * Huang Rong, however, not only had a clear, crisp voice, but also a splendid turn of phrase; and when she got to the thrilling bits, her depictions scintillated with a hundred extra tones and colours.
| |
| − | * Since her childhood Huang Rong had been trained by her father in all kinds of mathematics. She looked at the symbols on the ground and immediately recognized it was an advance technique in mathematics called the ‘tian yuan zhi shu’ [sky primary technique]. Even though it looked complicated, it should not be too difficult to solve as long as one understood the principle.

| − | == Lu Youjiao == | |
| − | * Guo Fu said, “Over the last few years, my mother just held the title. The running of the clan is all done by Elder Lu Youjiao. All the many bothersome things that go on in the clan give my mother a headache. She said why is it necessary to have the name and not do anything; so why not pass the position on to Elder Lu and make it official. Once Elder Lu learns the “Dog Beating Stick Technique”, my mother will pass on the position to him officially.”
| |
| − | * However, Lu Youjiao wasn’t the most gifted and he was now old, his memory is fading, how could he remember all this in just a short time?
| |
| − | * Over the last ten years or so, Lu Youjiao had helped Huang Rong in running all the matters of the clan; he was just, he did things boldly and accepted the consequences, the members from the ‘dirty’ clothed and ‘clean’ clothed factions all respected him.
| |
| − | * “Are you referring to Chief Lu Youjiao? Although his martial arts are not that fantastic and he never accomplished much, but based on you saying he ‘kills the mighty enemy, serves the country and the people’, he can be counted as a great hero too.”
| |
| − | * The beggar’s voice cracked as he said this, he knew Lu Youjiao’s martial arts were not excellent, but he was responsible and caring and had earned the respect of the beggars.
| |
| − | * Huang Rong took a glance at Guo Jing. "Indeed!" she laughed. "You said it right!" They then tipped all their leftover food into the broken bowl. The beggar grabbed a few clumps of cold rice from inside a pocket and, along with the leftovers, began eating them up zestfully. Secretly, Huang Rong counted the number of pockets on him: there were three pockets to a cluster, and three clusters in total – in sum, nine pockets. Having another look at the three beggars around the other table, each of them was wearing nine pockets as well, but on their table was a lavish spread of food and drink. Those three acted as if they hadn't seen this one beggar, and all along had never so much as glanced at him; but at times, their expressions carried a faint look of disgust.
| |
| − | * "Big Brother Lu," said Huang Rong with a smile, "this name of yours really is interesting!" Lu Youjiao answered: "It's often said: 'A pauper without a stick gets harassed by the dogs.' I'm indeed without a stick, but what I do have is a pair of stinky feet. If a doggie comes to harass me, I take aim straight at the mongrel's head, and that son-of-a-bitch gets a foot like so! Then, it's off running to the wilds with its tail between its legs."
| |
| − | * If not for Lu Youjiao's hot temper, which spoiled several important business of the Clan, Hong Qigong would early on assign him to be his successor as the Clan Leader. In this general assembly in Yuezhou the Clean Clothes Faction was worried because speaking about morality, martial art and popularity, Lu Youjiao had eight, nine out of ten chance of being the candidate for the next Clan Leader.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Peng Zhang Lao ==
| |
| − | * This fat old beggar was precisely one of the four big elders of the Beggar Clan, Peng Zhang Lao [Elder Peng], who had earlier fallen in with the Mongols.
| |
| − | * Isn’t this Peng Zhang Lao always laughing and looking very friendly?
| |
| − | * Elder Peng had used his “Soul Absorbing Technique”, urging the monk in black to kill the thin beggar.
| |
| − | * Peng Zhanglao was one of the four Elders of the Beggar Clan; he was the peer of Lu Youjiao Zhanglao; second only to the Bangzhu [Clan Leader], Hong Qigong.
