Chapter 72 Fisherman
Surprised everyone to hear this. They never know where Hell Island is, but in fairy tales they hear that Ice Island and Hell Island are islands where gods and demons who have extraordinary knowledge live!
"You didn't know she was the former Empress of Ice Island! Release her!" he screamed again while kicking with both legs in a chain, knocking down four people among his attackers.
Again everyone was shocked, including An Lu Shan. Ice Island? Is it true what the brave man said? Or was it just a bluff to get the captive woman released?
While everyone was hesitating, a voice laughed, "Heh-heh-heh, brats, I hope there's still some living among the residents of Ice Island and Hell Island! Hmmm, come on you two just come with me because this isn't the place to be." you guys!" This sound was subtle and slow, yet strangely overcame all voices and was heard clearly by all of them.
When An Lu Shan and his men looked around, what appeared was an old man with wide hats they knew as a fisherman grandfather who liked fishing in ponds. Because the old man was gentle and never spoke, An Lu Shan only ordered his men to observe. That old man had been fishing in the lake for months and was not at all bothersome, nor was he at all suspicious, so now his appearance in such a tense state really astonished people.
Ouw Sian Kok, who heard the words, was very surprised. Quickly he looked. He saw an old man dressed in simple patchwork, wearing a wide-brimmed hat like the one used by fishermen, holding a bamboo fishing rod and hanging a bamboo fan at his waist. He quickly looked at the grandfather's face and saw an old face but with a pair of sharp eyes full of authority. He knew that he was dealing with a shrewd grandfather. Automatically he thought that of course this was a kang-ouw character who became An Lu Shan's accomplice as well. So it's better to intervene before this formidable opponent gets ahead of him, thought Ouw Sian Kok.
"It's an old fart who still has a lot of strings attached to meddling in rebellion matters!" he snapped. His sword flashed a light, vanishing into a swirling beam of light as he jumped and turned the weapon to attack.
The old man calmly faced this attack, his demeanor like an old man facing a naughty child. Because he suspected that the old man must be very shrewd, this time Ouw Sian Kok didn't act half-heartedly, his sword flew very fast and he opened the attack. But suddenly the old man spun his fishing rod and a very loud whistling sound was heard.
Ouw Sian Kok is being vigilant. When the stalk made of long bamboo lunged forward to greet him, he quickly moved his powerful sword by exerting the power of the sink to chop the bamboo apart. But the bamboo seemed to come alive, moving following the light of his sword, chasing the light of the sword but never touching it, and suddenly Ouw Sian Kok felt how his body was being lifted up. It turned out that when the grandfather spun the bamboo which became the fishing rod, the fishing line was spinning so fast that it was invisible because the rope was so small. All of a sudden the fishing line had hooked Ouw Sian Kok's back so it was as if Ouw Sian Kok had been made a 'fish' caught by the hook!
Ouw Sian Kok was shocked and angry. He moved to clear the fishing line above his back, but suddenly his hanging body spun very fast. He twirled it over the old man's head so that if the rope was severed by his hands, his body would be thrown and slammed hard without him being able to prevent it because his body was already spinning like a hurricane in the air.
Everyone watched with wide eyes and open mouths, shocked and amazed at how easily the old man made the powerful Ouw Sian Kok completely powerless!
Ouw Sian Kok felt embarrassed and angry. He deployed his sinkang and he has used the knowledge
burdened his body. Instantly his body which was still spinning was slightly lowered and the bamboo curved as if it was not strong enough to hold his body.
"Not bad...!" the grandfather exclaimed in admiration as well.
However, because he was still twirling his rod very fast, Ouw Sian Kok could not escape. He only glanced at the grandfather with eyes full of anger and sometimes tried to move the sword to slash at the grandfather's body.
Suddenly Liu Bwee's voice was heard, "Ouw-toako, don't resist...! Lo-cianpwe, beg Lo-cianpwe to forgive him...!!"
Hearing Liu Bwee's exclamation, Ouw Sian Kok was surprised. He stopped any attempts to attack or break free, then said, "Please Lo-cianpwe will forgive me if I am being impudent!"
"Heh-heh-heh, apparently Hell Island hasn't corrupted you, young fellow!" The fishing line loosened and suddenly Ouw Sian found himself on the ground. He stood motionless, only looking at Liu Bwee who was now shackled and heavily guarded.
The old man then faced An Lu Shan who was standing in a safe place, then said softly, "Angoanswe please fulfill the request of an old man like me to like to free that woman."
We already know that An Lu Shan is a very smart person. Seeing the snicker's condition, he also understood that the old man was very powerful and to face an old man like that, it was better to be friends than to be enemies with him. If you want to succeed in pursuing your goals, be friendly with as many smart people as possible, that's the guideline of his heart. So without hesitation he signaled his men to release Liu Bwee.
Of course, no one dared to object to this hint, even though his men and aides were worried about An Lu Shan's attitude. There were three formidable opponents, one of whom was already captured, why was he released again? Isn't this a stupid and dangerous act?
Liu Bwee, who was free from the pressure and shackles, immediately approached the old man and fell to his knees. "Lo-cianpwe…" he said and continued with sad tears.
The grandfather nodded. "Come on, come on, I already know everything that happened to you and Ice Island. That's the way it should be, crying about it won't do any good."
Liu Bwee came to his senses after hearing these words. He quickly wiped away his tears, then said to Ouw Sian Kok, "Ouw-twako, he is the grandfather of my husband who has long left the island and exiled himself as a hermit. Only now can I meet him."
Hearing this, Ouw Sian Kok's heart was surprised. If this old man was Han Ti Ong's grandfather, then this grandfather was once the King of Ice Island or at least definitely a prince! And of course his knowledge is very high, because he had experienced this grandfather's shrewdness. His heart sank even more and he knelt in front of the old man beside Liu Bwee. "Teecu Ouw Sian Kok apologizes profusely to Lo-Cianpwe," he said.
The old man chuckled, "Heh-heh-heh, you two young people have never repented! It's been dozens of years of living facing various sufferings, you still don't want to change and are looking for trouble here too. You two have a very good talent for learning life and come with me! If you don't want to, I won't force you either, but in the future you will only meet with disappointment and sheer misery. On the other hand, if you like to come with me, anything is possible."
Liu Bwee and Ouw Sian Kok looked at each other. Even though their mouths didn't speak to each other, their hearts already received each other's vibrations. They know that wherever they go, as long as they don't separate, they will feel strong enough, brave, brave and happy! Then both of them nodded-
nod without speaking again.
The grandpa was elated and turned to An Lu Shan. "An-goanswe, I have been watching your moves for months and you deserve to be a fighter against the weakness of the kingdom. It is not my business to interfere. Well, please allow the three of us to leave here."
An Lu Shan quickly stepped forward and raised his hands in front of his chest, "Lo-cianpwe, I beg Lo-cianpwe to guide us on our struggle!" This general knew that persuading them to help him was very difficult, so he at least wanted to get some guidance and advice from the great grandfather.
Hearing this, the grandfather then twirled his fishing rod which made a whistling sound and it got louder and louder and then heard a shrill sound like a flute and singing! It was only then that his voice sounded like someone singing, accompanied by a sound like a flute arising from the string being played quickly. "The old will be overthrown, the new will replace it, the new will become old and there will be new ones! The old will die in place of the young, the young will grow old, die and be replaced too! What is eternal in this world? What causes death and misery will be overshadowed by death and misery. Fathers and sons who love violence will become victims of violence too!”
The screeching and chanting stopped. Everyone was stunned and silent, mind working to decipher the meaning of the song. When they looked, the three people had already left. It was only then that the guards realized and were about to give chase, but An Lu Shan said, "Don't disturb them!"
The guards who followed from a distance then reported to An Lu Shan how the old man took Ouw Sian Kok's hand and Liu Bwee jumped over a very wide ravine, then disappeared behind the mountain!
An Lu Shan took a deep breath, memorized and tried to decipher the meaning of the song, having his men write down the grandfather's song. He was overjoyed when his famous literary experts deciphered a song that prophesied good for him. The old will be overthrown, the new will take its place. This alone clearly meant that his struggle to overthrow the old government was doomed to success.
What's more, the last verses that say that fathers and children like violence will also become victims of violence. He interpreted that father and son were of course the Emperor and the Crown Prince who he would certainly kill if he succeeded in usurping the royal throne.
That's how all humans are. Always interpreting everything with his own interests and desires as if everything that appears in this world is exclusively for him! The reality would later be proven, that even if An Lu Shan succeeded in usurping the royal throne, he could not long enjoy the fruits of the massacre in that war of rebellion, because not long after that he and his son were successively killed by his own accomplices!
People always forget the fact of life that what is new will gradually become old, and what is young will also grow old. Humans are always lulled by fantasies, always toyed with by their own minds that reach far into the future, reach everything that doesn't exist or doesn't yet have it.
Humans don't want to see what is, don't want to care about 'this way', but always direct their eyes to 'that thing', that is, something that doesn't exist yet, which makes their heart desire to get it. Humans forget that 'that thing' earlier, means that it has not yet been obtained, if it has been obtained and is in his hands it will also be 'such thing' and the eye will no longer care because it is already looking at 'such thing', which is another thing that it does not have yet.
How far life will be if we show our eyes to 'what is like this', to what it is, study it, understand it so that changes occur because by understanding bad habits, understanding them deeply, those habits automatically
stop. By deeply understanding the present state, the present moment, as it is every second, every object, everywhere contains pure beauty that cannot be obtained by desire. Gone are the boundaries that separate beautiful and bad, happy and sad, profit and loss, me and you. If this is the case, then we will know what love means, what truth, purity, holiness means and what the name God means, which is usually just a lip service.
Let's leave first Liu Bwee and Ouw Sian Kok who went with the magic fisherman grandfather who was none other than the grandfather of Han Ti Ong, the former King of Ice Island who had left the island for decades and wandered in quiet places as a recluse in exile. from the crowded world. It's been too long since we left Sin Liong and Swat Hong, so let's follow the journey of the two men.
