Seeing how the five bodyguards were holding swords and their attitudes threatening, Lin Lin quickly drew his sword and a yellow light flashed. Seeing this, the five bodyguards were shocked.
“Eh, presumably you are a sword thief? Little lady, it's better for you to surrender than for us to use violence. Shame on us if we have to...”
“Lots of chatter!” Lin Lin had already charged forward and his sword beams were swirling like yellow clouds. The bodyguards were shocked and quickly fended off. In another moment Lin Lin was already locked up. It is understood that this girl has high intelligence, the bodyguards are not shy anymore to gang up, they are even pushed hard by the sword that is played fiercely.
Khong-in-lui-san is a powerful silat, especially now that it is played using a powerful heirloom sword. Great is not playing. Immediately Lin Lin managed to injure the neck of one of the mobsters, but when this opponent collapsed, there were several sounds and from afar came other guards!
Lin Lin was confused as well. He had to admit that the intelligence of these bodyguards was not low, what more if they did a beating. His energy might run out and eventually he would certainly be captured. He thought it was better to run away first, get out of this palace. Business with the Gold Flute can be done tomorrow or the day after tomorrow night. He shouted loudly, his sword flying, a long threatening beam. The four opponents were shocked and forced to parry while jumping backwards. This opportunity was used by Lin Lin to jump away. However, now the bodyguards who had flooded into the place had arrived there and Lin Lin was again intercepted and locked up.
Don't worry, Lin Lin. He bit his lip and then cursed. "I didn't come to make a mess. I don't want to fight. Why are you forcing? Back off everyone, leave me! Watch out don't make me lose patience!”
Even though it was understandable for this lady's shrewdness, but hearing these big words the bodyguards laughed. The girl was alone, and now that dozens of bodyguards had gathered there, how could this wild girl still dare to open her big mouth?
“He's the heirloom sword thief! Catch!"
Seeing himself being locked up tightly, Lin Lin knew the danger. Quickly he exerted his strength, turning his sword pressing to the left. The confinement next door was immediately pushed back and he used this opportunity to jump onto the white roof of the library building. However, at the moment he flew up, a tall, thin old bodyguard shot out what only appeared as a black light flying towards Lin Lin's body. This girl was shocked when she saw that the object was a rope that could move like a live snake, threatening to wrap around her body! He understood that the mover was certainly not an ordinary person, so he immediately slashed with his sword.
“Iiiihhhh!” Lin Lin exclaimed in shock.
The sword that was used to slash even got tangled up in the black rope. If he exerted force against his sword, his body which was still floating in the air would surely fall down! Forced, confused and angry at heart, he let go of his sword so that his body could continue to soar above the building. However, as soon as his foot stepped on the white roof he suddenly fell and his body flew down, into the building!
The guards are happy. Led by the wily thin bodyguard earlier, they jumped onto the roof. But suddenly they stood stunned and didn't dare to move, looking at a black handkerchief fluttering like a flag at the edge of the roof. The black handkerchief with the yellow flute on it!
"He...he's here..." whispered a bodyguard and now the bodyguards looked questioningly, waiting for the thin bodyguard's command to lead the troop.
"He's here, we can't disturb him. Back off! Just do this around guard and only move when that girl comes out, catch her!”
The guards jumped down again, then left the place which became quiet again.
********************
Let's leave Lin Lin who toppled over to the inside of the library building. In order for the story to run smoothly, let's take a look at Mrs. Sin's condition, which we have been away from for too long.
We already know how Mrs. Sin, who was previously tortured by Suma Boan and hung on a wooden cross, can be helped by a powerful person who she doesn't know who it is. He was left in the forest, the wounds on his body caused by Suma Boan's arrows had completely healed by the miraculous medicine that had suddenly been in his wounds, of course by his helper. Knowing that if he was caught again by Suma Boan he would be in trouble, Bu Sin then ran away from the forest and for several days he continued to infiltrate the forest, not daring to appear in crowded places.
A week later, before dusk he arrived at a very quiet graveyard. He didn't know that he was in the north of the king's city, and also didn't know that the local people did not dare to go near this graveyard at night because it was well known that the cemetery was haunted! However, Bu Sin, who tried to hide from the pursuit of Suma Boan and his people, felt safe in that quiet place. He immediately looked for a comfortable place, under a big tree, sat pensively thinking about his fate. From far away, the crowing of a partridge seemed to be about to send off the sun, to welcome the moon?
That night was a full moon. In this quiet place, while eating the fruit she had picked on the way in the forest, Mrs. Sin enjoyed the moon that appeared from the east, looked big and round reddish, very beautiful. However, he was not happy, he was even sad, remembering his two younger siblings, whose fate he still did not know. Also the older sister she is looking for, Kam Bu Song. There is very little hope of being able to meet him, because according to Suma Boan's confession, it seems that his older brother is also experiencing misery and there is little hope that his older brother is still alive. His brother is a weak student, what's the point of having an enemy like the shrewd Suma Boan? He himself, who had studied martial arts since childhood, was powerless against the prince's son. Mrs. Sin was getting sadder remembering this and many times she took a deep breath.
Suddenly his breath stopped, his face pale and wide-eyed looking forward. He blinked his eyes, then rubbed them, but still the scene in front of him didn't change. The hair on his neck stood up one by one. The heart was pounding and Mrs. Sin was horrified. He was not a coward, in fact he was known to be steadfast, but who would not be horrified to see how in a lonely cemetery, in the moonlight, suddenly in front of an old tombstone stood a woman whose long hair was flowing down to her feet?
The woman stood with her back to him, but looking at her slender body, her arms lifted up from afar, she looked smooth white and her fingers were tiny, her hair was shiny and smooth black, one could guess that the woman was still young. Where did he come from? Why didn't Mrs. Sin see him coming? And what was he doing in that place?
Kuntilanak! Stealth! There's no mistake, thought Mrs. Sin with a pounding heart. Automatically his hand touched the hilt of the sword, and he was not ashamed of the fact that his hand was shivering. He imagined that this kuntilanak's face must be hideous, pale face like a corpse's face, wide eyes only white, fanged mouth. Iiiihhhh! It's better for him to go, away from this devil's place, he thought carefully and slowly Mrs. Sin got up and walked away from that place.
However, he had only taken five or six steps when suddenly a gust of wind blew and he heard a melodious, loud and subtle shout, “Stop! Who's that?"
Bu Sin's nape and back felt thick with horror. The voice was right behind his back, as if the demon had landed on top of his back. He hardened his heart and clenching his fists he turned around, ready to meet a hideous face.
He turned around suddenly and... Mrs. Sin gaped at the beautiful face, a very sweet face with a pair of wide, shining eyes, a sharp little nose and a small mouth with red lips that always smiled mockingly. Body shape slender, dense, long silky black hair loose over the back, shoulders, and chest. Even more amazing, the very fragrant smell piercing the nose made Mrs. Sin fascinated. Not a hideous stealth at all. If the word stealth too, this is a beautiful stealth!
Stealth! Reminded of this, Mrs. Sin realized and her admiration for the beauty of this young woman's face turned into suspicion and she automatically felt her sword hilt again.
The woman laughed, her lips sweet as honey when she laughed, but the sound of her laugh was terrible, almost like crying! Hi-hik, you are handsome and dashing. Who are you?"
“My name is Bu Sin, Kam Bu Sin. Miss... uh, madam who?"
The woman laughed, her teeth lined up neatly white, no fangs at all! "Very good! Are you she Kam? You sound like a southerner. Are you General Kam Si Ek?”
Mrs. Sin was surprised and looked surprised. "He... he was my late father."
The pair of beautiful eyes widened wide, then the woman laughed again. “Hi-hi-hik, no wonder handsome and dashing. That's right, now I see the similarities. You're much younger, more handsome. Hi-hik, you asked who I was? I am Siang-mou Sin-ni, once a good friend of your father. Since you are his son, you will now die in my hands!”
Mrs. Sin was even more shocked, and now she guessed that this woman must have a slanted brain. If you're not crazy, how come you claim to be a good friend of your father but will kill your son? He felt he didn't need to ask much more, quickly his hand moved to draw his sword. He was about to bully her and chase this crazy woman away so she wouldn't bother him anymore.
But the woman laughed and suddenly the long flowing hair moved, wrapped around the sword and
her body and...
“Crack! crack!” his sword was broken into three pieces while his hands, feet and waist were covered with fine and fragrant hair, making him unable to move at all! Mrs. Sin tried to struggle and exert her limbs, but this only caused pain as the hairs pressed harder as if they were trying to slice through her skin!
“Hi-hi-hik! What do you want now? Listen carefully. I, Siang-mou Sin-ni, was once hurt by your father, that arrogant and arrogant general. Just because he's a high-ranking general, he dares to refuse me! Hi-hik, and now you the son fell into my hands. What will I do with you? I will make you the fortieth sacrifice! I am currently galvanizing myself with Sin-yang Hoat-lek (Sin-yang Occult Science) and for that purpose I need as much pure youth and pure blood as possible! And you're still young and pure. Hi-hic, you are the fortieth person, and you are the son of Kam Si Ek. Very good, of course your blood is clean, blood of warriors. This is what I'm looking for!” The woman was laughing.
Mrs. Sin shuddered. The light of this woman is crazy. Or is he not human? "Go away! Let me go!" he shouted. "You are lying! Your age will not be older than me, how can you know father."
Siang-mou Sin-ni used the palm of her hand to caress Miss Sin's hairless cheeks and chin. “Thank you, nice person! Your praise makes me not have the heart to kill you. You really see I'm younger than you? Hi-hik, I'm almost twice your age. However, this is the first result of Sin-yang Hoat-lek! I'll never grow old, I'll never... never die! So, get ready, my mouth is already drooling, your blood is certainly sweet and warm!” After saying that the woman brought her face closer to Mrs. Sin's.
This young man shuddered and bristled the hairs on the back of his neck. What is this woman up to? He thought he was about to be kissed, but that sweet-smelling smooth-skinned face looked down and... that warm wet nose and mouth pressed against his throat! Mrs. Sin was horrified not to play. Kill me now, he thought and he closed his eyes in pain, ready to die because he couldn't move at all.
But suddenly the woman lifted her face, both hands groped for Mrs. Sin's face, stroking it. "You are handsome... dashing, like your father... it would be a shame to be killed!"
For a moment Mrs. Sin felt how smooth her skin pressed against her cheek. He did not dare to open his eyes because of horror. Suddenly the hair that bound the accomplice and the body fell apart. He opened his eyes.
Siang-mou Sin-ni stood in front of her, her eyes were shining, her lips were smiling so sweetly. “You are handsome and handsome, you are brave like your father. Mrs. Sin... uh, Kanda... you heal the wound in my heart that was caused by your father before. You fix what your father broke. Of course you want it, handsome Koko (Kanda)?” Siang-mou Sin-ni approached again, flirtatiously and seduced her.
Mrs. Sin felt her throat was being choked, her mouth was dry and her heart was beating wildly. "What do you mean? What is your will?”
Siang-mou Sin-ni looked up, then flirtatiously pinched Mrs. Sin's chin. “Hi-hik, you really are still green! Of course I mean that you like to be my husband!”
If only a volcano erupted at that time, Mrs. Sin would not be as surprised as hearing these words. Her face turned pale and she immediately snapped, “You crazy woman! Go, don't come near me! I don't want to be your husband. Huh, no shame, you better kill me!” While saying that, Mrs. Sin mustered up her strength and then hit the woman with a punch. He put all his strength into this punch because he really hated her and wanted to kill her.
“Bukkk!” Mrs. Sin's fist hit the chest, met with soft flesh, but as a result, Mrs. Sin's body was thrown back! Before this young man knew what was happening, suddenly his body became limp, his blood flow was punched and at another moment his limp body was in his pelvis and was carried away by Siang-mou Sin-ni from the grave!
While walking on a moonlit night, Siang-mou Sin-ni sings, sometimes grumbling at length, “Damn, why is my heart attracted to this boy? Even worse. He refuses and curses, you bastard!”
He stopped at a creek with clear water in a forest, lowered Mrs. Sin's body which he threw onto the grass. “Hey, Kanda Bu Sin, how about now? Will you?"
"Don't want to and don't call me Kanda, despicable and crazy woman!"
“Hi-hik, just like his father!” suddenly her hair moved and suddenly Mrs. Sin's body was covered in hair, then the young man's body was thrown into the water in front of Siang-mou Sin-ni!
Mrs. Sin stuttered, but was unable to swim because her hands and feet were shackled by her hair. He stuttered and drank some water, while his body shivered with cold. Siang-mou Sin-ni lifted the young man's face above the water, but his body was still submerged.
"Answer, do you want or not?!"
"Unwilling!" Mrs. Sin snapped. And again he was plunged into the water, many times until it was difficult to breathe and his stomach bloated with lots of water.
"Are you still stubborn don't want to?" Siang-mou Sin-ni asked again when the young man's face lifted so he could breathe.
Mrs. Sin couldn't make a sound anymore. He was semi-fainted, but he was still strong enough to shake his head in disapproval!
“Recalcitrant!” Siang-mou Sin-ni screamed angrily and knocked Mrs. Sin's head down until the young man fainted, then he lifted the body onto the ground, held his back and turned Mrs. Sin's head down, patting his stomach so that a lot of water came out of the young man's mouth!
When Mrs. Sin woke up from her fainting, it turned out that she was already in a very high place, above a tree that was more than ten meters high! His clothes were dry again and found he was hanging from a broken branch, his clothes hanging from behind so that his body hung against the rough tree trunk. He tried to move his minions, but in vain. Presumably he had been stuck too, unable to move. Her underwear was gone, apparently torn by the demonic woman so that when her clothes hung on a tree branch, her chest and neck were bare.
The woman sat on a small branch in front of her. It's amazing. How can a human being, can sit comfortably on a branch so small like a bird? What if the branch breaks? Siang-mou Sin-ni sat folding her hands together, her legs swaying hanging down. Her hair was messy, black and silky glossy, her eyes were wide awake when she looked at Mrs. Sin's face. It seemed that the woman was astonished, amazed, also irritated and lost her mind.
“Miss Sin Koko, you open your eyes and take a good look. Am I not beautiful? Look at my skin so reddish white and smooth, look at my hair so long black, smooth and fragrant. My body is solid and denok. Everyone says my face is beautiful like an angel. Do you think I'm not pretty enough?"
Mrs. Sin was very annoyed. Truly a devil woman and she would rather die a thousand times than have to be this kind of devil's husband. “Huh, Siang-mou Sin-ni, what kind of man do you think I am Kam Bu Sin? You are indeed beautiful, but what does it mean to be beautiful if your character is rotten and evil like the devil? What is the meaning of a fruit that looks beautiful and delicious if hidden inside are many disgusting caterpillars? Beauty is confined to skin only, beneath it is decaying flesh and blood and within itself is only a loathsome skull! I don't need your beauty, and I'm sick of seeing your crimes!”
“Tsk-ck-ck... this young can already talk about evil and good! Hi-hik, you're like a child who vomits when he sees feces, not knowing that his own stomach is full of feces. Hi-hi-hik, you think I can't subdue you? There are still many ways.” He then flashed away, but in less than five minutes he was back, carrying a large leaf full of bee honey. He then sprinkled the honey on his face, neck, chest, stomach and arms, then with a laugh he threw the leaves and sat back down like before.
Mrs. Sin didn't understand what this woman wanted. He understood that this woman was very cruel and he was ready to wait for the torment to come, but what was the point of sprinkling honey on her? Does this honey contain poison so that soon I will feel the effects? Mrs. Sin had all sorts of guesses, but it wasn't until ten minutes later that she understood what that sprinkled honey meant and she shuddered with horror.
Presumably the big ants started coming through the trunk, branches, twigs and leaves, and soon the ants were crawling all over his body, biting him! Bu Sin was squirming, tickling and itching. Not playing great this torture. Earlier when he was plunged into the cold water, for a moment he was not strong and passed out. If you faint, there is no more pain, you don't feel it. But now it's different. These ants bite, causing a feeling of itching and tickling which is unbelievably great suffering. But most formidable of all was the fact that he would not faint from it! He will continue to be conscious to feel this suffering, which makes all of his nerves tense and disturbed, making his feelings tormented to death, not even alive. Unbearable by Mrs. Sin, she started screaming at the indescribable suffering!
"Hayo said that you want to be my husband and I will set you free!" Xiang-mou Sin-ni repeatedly said cajolingly.
These are the only words that sometimes strengthen Mrs. Sin's spirits, because she then curses her and temporarily forgets her suffering. However, if the woman is silent and sits watching, she is tormented again. Finally Mrs. Sin laughed, then cried, laughed again like a madman because of her unbearable suffering. If it continued for a few more hours, he would surely go completely mad.
It seemed that Siang-mou Sin-ni understood this, so he then shooed the ants away, shouldered Mrs. Sin's body and jumped down from the tree, then ran very fast away from there. Mrs. Sin closed her eyes, feeling as if she was being carried away by this powerful woman who has a devil's heart. He did not give up as long as his life had not flown away, but he was determined that he would rather die than be made the husband of a she-devil who is so vile and evil. He was a gentleman and his good name and honor were worth far more than his life. Such was the determination of this young man's heart.
However, Mrs. Sin is a young man who is still green and inexperienced. He had absolutely no idea how evil, vicious, and shrewd a great figure in the underworld was like Siang-mou Sin-ni who was famous as one of the six figures of Thian-te Liok-koai (Six World Devils)!
During the time he was held captive by this demonic woman, a few days later, he had turned into a demoralized person, into someone who couldn't remember anything else, became obedient like a pet, Xiang-mou Sin-ni told him anything, he would obey without hesitation. cares for his own life, no longer remembers his name and honor, even his own name he no longer remembers. Mrs. Sin has fallen victim to the abomination of Siang-mou Sin-ni after being fed a poison called spirit-depriving poison! And the she-devil achieved her filthy heart's intention, making Mrs. Sin as her lover, a thing that was only torture and punishment because she still couldn't take away Mrs. Sin's love, couldn't have the real Mrs. Sin, as she wanted.
With Mrs. Sin who is a prisoner and her lover, who obeys her every wish like a living statue, Siang-mou Sin-ni goes south. He wanted to visit Nan-cao, a country in the south that entered into an alliance with the Hou-han. Even though Siang-mou Sin-ni was a figure in the underworld, to the small Hou-han Kingdom he was a patriotic figure and he worked for this kingdom. Therefore, regarding the alliance with the Nan-cao Kingdom, Siang-mou Sin-ni has already been given the authority and duty to take care of it. Now he goes to visit, apart from this task, also to attend the celebration held in Nan-cao in connection with the thousandth anniversary of the death of the kauwcu (religious head) of Beng-kauw who has a high position in the Nan-cao Kingdom, also coinciding with the birthday of the year the Beng-kauw Religious association was founded.
Siang-mou Sin-ni in the martial world is known as one of the six demons of Thian-te Liok-koai, but in his own country, namely the Hou-han Kingdom, people will be astonished to see him respected by everyone, also feared. and he went in and out of the palace as if he were going in and out of his own house! He is a character who besides being cruel and cruel, is also very extraordinarily strange, full of secrets and extraordinary intelligence. This is what makes him one of the six Liok-koai (Six Devils), qualities that a character must have to be called a world devil. Many people are evil, but they are not powerful and they are not particularly strange, so they cannot be compared to Thian-te Liok-koai. These six figures are called World Devils because indeed they are too evil, cruel and highly knowledgeable.
How bad is Mrs. Sin's fate, falling into the clutches of a she-demon like Siang-mou Sin-ni. Presumably it would be better if he was killed, because the fate that befell him was indeed worse than death. He became a man who lost everything. Mrs. Sin had no memory of herself at all, nor did she know where Xiang-mou Sin-ni had taken her to. The only thing he knew was that he had to obey Xiang-mou Sin-ni's every wish!
********************
Nan-cao was a small country, or rather a small kingdom located in the Yu-nan area. Among the kingdoms in the south and west, the small Nan-cao Kingdom was one of the strongest and most staunchly opposed and refused to submit to the Sung Kingdom. Other kingdoms, such as the Nan-ping Kingdom in Hu-pei and the Su Kingdom in Se-cuan, liked to acknowledge the Sung Kingdom and their leaders by Emperor Sung were instead rewarded with ranks and positions. However, Nan-cao did not recognize Emperor Sung's sovereignty.
What strengthened the position of the Nan-cao Kingdom was actually the Religion of Beng-kauw. This religion was led by powerful people and because the emperor himself also included adherents of the Beng-kauw Religion, it was safe to say that the religious leaders were the royal family in the palace.
What is actually called Beng-kauw Religion? Let's get to know him from historical records. Beng-kauw which means the Religion of Light was originally called Manicheism, that is, after the name of its founder, Mani. Mani is a Persian (Iranian), the son of a nobleman. In essence, the Religion of Manicheism or Beng-kauw is a marriage between Christianity and the Religion of Zoroastrianism which is adhered to by most of the Persian people.
This religion bases its philosophy on the ancient philosophy of Im Yang (Positive & Negative). According to the teachings of this religion, all evil is born from darkness which is a Dark Kingdom ruled by demons. Because of this, Mani named himself as the Ambassador of Light, and this is also the reason why this religion is called the Religion of Light or Beng-kauw. All kinds of filth must be cleansed, all kinds of darkness must be defeated and driven out by the Light.
Presumably because many people with high knowledge and supernatural powers supported the birth of this religion, in a short time Beng-kauw became a big religion and was widely embraced by humans. As with other religions, the Beng-kauw Religion spread widely after its founder, Mani died (executed to death in 274 AD). This religion spread far to the west, according to records to France, and in 694 AD this religion began to enter China which its adherents then called Beng-kauw (Religion of Light). More than two centuries later, although in China the Beng-kauw religion has greatly decreased in influence, it is still centered and remains in the south, in the country of Nan-cao.
For decades the leader of Beng-kauw was a figure who was very famous for his supernatural powers, named Liu Gan whose nickname was Pat-jiu Sin-ong (King of the Eight-armed Might). The head of Beng-kauw's intelligence is amazing and the people, especially the adherents of that religion, believe that this character is someone who cannot die! He was said to be more than one hundred and fifty years old. It seems that this second thing is very possible because none of the oldest kang-ouw figures have heard of their big names, which means that Pat-jiu Sin-ong has been famous in the kang-ouw world for a very long time. However, it seems that the rumors say that he cannot die because the proof is that next month there will be a prayer there to commemorate and honor the thousand days of Pat-jiu Sin-ong's death!
It was once mentioned in this story that Pat-jiu Sin-ong Liu Gan had a daughter named Liu Lu Sian whose nickname was Tok-siauw-kui (Venomous Little Devil)! Thirty years ago, Liu Lu Sian was also a big figure in the world of kang-ouw, very famous for her angelic beauty, a strange and foreign beauty because her blood was a mixture of Chinese and Persian. His eyes are slightly bluish, his white skin is slightly reddish. It was not only her extraordinary beauty that made her famous, but also her high intelligence, which she inherited from her father and was especially famous for her ferocity. This seems to have earned him the nickname Little Venomous Devil!
Like many women at that time, Liu Lu Sian was also infatuated with the young general Kam Si Ek who was famous for being handsome and brave. On the other hand, General Kam also fell in love with the daughter of the Beng-kauw chairman. Even though General Kam is quite aware of the condition of this girl who is known to be vicious and is a character with a bad name, love always overcomes the feelings and consciousness of a young human heart. He married Liu Lu Sian, a thing that shocked the world at that time. This marriage produced a son, namely Kam Bu Song.
