    From her teacher.

    Believe it or not, that's not an ARTS (Amusing Response To Statements) answer; that's genuinely the truth.

    OH! Thanks. She's the third generation of Emei, right?

    Yes, Mit Jeut See Tai was the third leader of Ngor Mei Sect after Gwok Seung and Mit Jeut's unnamed teacher.

    Miejue's teacher is named Fengling.

    I'd hate to make another thread, so I'll just ask this too.

    What happened to that book Zhang WuJi hid? The book he found inside the Sasquatch?

    The 9 Yeung Jen Ging (which was inside a mountain gorilla, not a sasquatch) ended up being buried in that cave where Cheung Mo Gei spent five years training/healing his Yeun Ming Divine Palms cold poison injury. Presumably, nobody ever found it again.

    LOL
    awww... The 2000 version made it look like Sasquatch. That would have been so cool, though.

    Oh, another question. What was it doing inside the animal? Or is this not part of the novel?

    In the final chapter of ROCH, when the New Five Greats (Gwok Jing, Yeung Gor, Wong Yerk See, 1 Deng, and Chow Bak Tung) and some of their closest associates were at the summit of Mt. Hua to pay their respects to the deceased Hung 7 Gung and Au Yeung Fung, they encountered the Shaolin monk Gok Yeun and his then thirteen-year-old disciple, Cheung Gwun Bo (who would one day grow up to become Mo Dong Sect founder Cheung 3 Fung). Gok Yeun and Cheung were in pursuit of the former Mongol mercenaries Siu Seung Tze (the vampire guy) and Wan Hak Sai (the Persian jewel merchant). They had stolen a Buddhist book from Shaolin that contained hidden in its margins the text of the 9 Yeung Jen Ging. The two Shaolin monks pursued Siu and Wan to Mt. Hua, where they came across the Greats.

    Yeung Gor then taught four strokes to the young Cheung Gwun Bo that the boy used to seriously wound the villains, but the two still escaped with the book. Later, Siu and Wan fought *each other* for the book. Siu was killed outright, and Wan was mortally wounded.

    Before dying, Wan was able to stitch the text into the hide of a mountain gorilla (yes, the same one that Cheung Mo Gei would encounter a century later). Feeling a twinge of conscience in the moments before his death, Wan Hak Sai told Kunlun 3 Saints member Ho Juk Do that he had hidden the book in the gorilla. However, Wan's words were unclear because he was dying as he told this to Ho, so when Ho reported it to the Shaolin monks, it came out as, "The book is in the oil."

    Wait, how did he get it in? Did the guy tackled and pinned the gorilla down and cut the animal open? That is sick. Or was the gorilla a friend or something?

    I don't think Jin Yong went into that level of detail. Wan Hak Sai just found the gorilla, hijacked it, and used it for his purposes.

    That's the wrong 'ling' - it's 陵 (meaning mound/hill), not 鈴.

    When Xiaoxiang Zi and Yin Kexi escaped from Shaolin, they caught the ape and sewed the 9 Yang sutra inside it so if they got caught, the sutra wouldn't be found on them. That was indeed what happened. They took the ape with them, were pursued by Jueyan, and were stopped by Yang Guo at Huashan. They denied any knowledge of the sutra, Yin Kexi was humiliated by Zhang Junbao in a fight, while Xiaoxiang Zi was seriously injured by the rebound force when he struck Jueyuan. They left with the ape, and eventually fought for sole possession of the ape (and sutra). Since Xiaoxiang Zi was already injured, the normally slightly weaker Yin Kexi won, although mortally injured in the process. He Zudao passed by the dying Yin Kexi, who asked him to pass on the message to Jueyuan.

    They never go into detail of what the contents and lessons that are taught in the Nine Yang Manual. What do you think it looks like inside?

    Like Chinese characters on paper.

    Now that *is* an ARTS answer!

    4 volumes from the original Lankavatara sutra brought by Damo from India, written in Sanskrit, with the 9 Yang scripture written in Chinese between the Sanskrit lines.

    Incidentally, the first we see of the ape was when the Divine Eagle was chasing it down to eat.

    That sounds cartoonishly funny.
