Ah Goo from FULL MOON, CURVED SABRE

[Ken Cheng]

Does anyone have any information on the character Ah Goo from FULL MOON, CURVED SABRE? He was a foreigner (possibly an Indian or a Persian...a dark-skinned fellow from Central Asia or the Middle East). He was mute, but extremely strong physically. He was Ding Pang's bodyguard and squire. I don't know if he practiced any formal style of martial arts, but his tremendous strength made him a very dangerous opponent.

I haven't read the novel yet, going to start reading it next week, if it's in the library.

One more fact emerges about this character: he was from the Kunlun Mountains and Ding Pang purchased him as a slave.

Reading the Vietnamese translation of the novel, yes, Ah Goo is a Kunlun slave, but he wasn't purchased by Ding Pang. Qing Qing brought Ah Goo with her from the "fox's den". Ah Goo, along with 小香 were members of the Demonic Cult. Their names, including that of Ding Pang's and Qing Qing's were eventually erased from the list of members upon Qing Qing's grandpa's (leader of the cult) instruction. He didn't want Ding Pang's reputation to be tarnished by the Demonic Cult. He was happy knowing that Ding Pang was able carry and surpass his own skill.

Anyways, Ah Goo appears from Chapter 12 and on, so that character came from Sima Ziyan's writing.
