Sian Eng did not know what to do in that match. Hek-giam-lo is considered a slanted mind who thinks of her as a princess to be a queen, but she still doesn't know whether the black demon has good or bad intentions towards her. He did not know the beautiful woman who fought against Hek-giam-lo, nor did he know why he had fought against Hek-giam-lo. Because of this Sian Eng did not care about the battle and got this good opportunity he immediately ran away.
However, Sian Eng was completely wrong if he thought that the two men did not see him and did not know that he had run away. The two people were holy people who of course saw him coming out of the hole earlier. Before Sian Eng had run away, Hek-giam-lo snorted.
"Here, another time we will continue. I have to go after him."
"Hik-hik, leave the letter first, then I will forgive you!"
The scythe in Hek-giam-lo's hand grabbed with all his might, but Xiang-mou Sin-ni easily dodged it and replied with a tug of his hair.
“You bastard! I really need that girl!” again Hek-giam-lo said, asking for the match to be stopped.
"I really need this letter. Before you hand it over to me, don't expect you to get that girl. Hi-hic.”
Hek-giam-lo was overwhelmed by his opponent who, apart from being good at fighting, was also very good at arguing. "Well, you eat your letter!" Hek-giam-lo took out the letter and threw it at Siang-mou Sin-ni, then jumped far away to chase Sian Eng.
When Xiang-mou Sin-ni saw a white object snatched by him, he immediately caught it and chuckled happily when he saw that it was indeed a letter of alliance between the Nan-cao government and the Hou-han government. With a sweet smile he put the letter in the pocket of his robe, then hummed softly and turned around to leave that place. However, when he turned around, his eyes looked towards one of the rows of statues that happened to be in front of him. A statue as big as the statue of an ancient writer. The face of the statue was very finely made, just like a living human.
"Oh, handsome you too!" Siang-mou Sin-ni smiled. "It's a shame you're just a rock, you don't have flesh and blood. Ugh, your eyes are too sharp, I better break your neck before I go." Siang-mou Sin-ni moved her head, a tuft of long hair grabbed the statue's neck.
“Plakkk!” the hair bounced back and the statue's neck was okay. Never mind broken, not even fat.
A pair of clear jelly eyes widened. Normally, a blow of her hair would be able to break the black stone, now breaking the statue's neck isn't that strong? Once again he moved his head, now half of his hair was all grabbed, a fairly large clump.
“Plakkk!” this time, Siang-mou Sin-ni's body shook because the force he used earlier was greater so that when he was sent flying, he felt even more powerful.
This woman changed her face. His eyes glanced at the statue, then at the other statues lined up there. If all the statues are this strong, they seem to have supernatural powers, hiiiiih! Siang-mou Sin-ni felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise and he quickly left that place! A woman who was known as a demon was now fleeing in terror, thinking that the statues had become demons. Perhaps facing a fellow human, the long haired demoness would not flinch a hair's breadth, but facing a stone statue that could withstand two hits of her hair, completely surpassed her limits of fortitude.
If Siang-mou Sin-ni had known how the statue he had hit earlier could move, surely he would not have run away, instead the statue would have been attacked furiously! After the long-haired female demon left, the 'statue' took a deep breath, threw off a white cloth covering and appeared a tall, tall young man dressed like a writer, dressed in black. Gold flute! Like Siang-mou Sin-ni, the golden flute disguised as a statue flashed away in the direction of Hek-giam-lo's departure.
Sian Eng is happy that his heart can be freed. He ran with all his might and entered a large forest. Her breath hitched and after entering the dark part of the forest, feeling herself safe, this girl slowed her steps to relax and catch her breath. However, you can imagine how shocked he was, until his face became bloodless pale again, when he turned his head in front of him standing... Hek-giam-lo!
"Where are you going, Princess? Please be careful, without a servant to protect you, Your Majesty should not go anywhere. Many of our enemies are running around,” Hek-giam-lo said in a scary voice.
“No... no... let me go alone. Do not bother me!" shouted Sian Eng who was scared, and he was about to run away.
However, the demon once flashed was already in front of him. Sian Eng became reckless and used his sword to slash. However, somehow his sword seemed to meet a hard object and was sent flying far away. Then his body was lifted up and he was taken away like he was flying fast without being able to struggle in the slightest. Sian Eng shivered with fear and fainted in Hek-giam-lo's arms.
********************
Lin Lin slammed her feet together like a child whose request was not obeyed. “Grandpa, you lied to me! You said he was in the king's city, where is he now? Come on tell me, where is he? It's been a week we've been here, every night roaming all night, during the day sleeping in the old temple, just like bats, night roaming during the day sleeping. And the golden flute has not even seen its nose yet!”
Kim-lun Seng-jin, the shaved bald grandfather sat on the dirty old temple floor, leaning against the cracked wall and laughing heartily showing his white and shiny teeth in the light of the bonfire he made so that the atmosphere in the dark temple became bright.
“Heh-heh-heh, Lin Lin, I told you that people like the Golden Flute are hard to hold by the tail.”
"Is he not human, Grandpa?"
“Huh? Human but like a demon. Yes, he is human just like us.”
Seeing the teenage girl asking a question with a serious face, Kim-lun Seng-jin burst out laughing. “Uuhh, you sure are still green. You don't understand what I mean? Hard to hold by the tail means it's hard to follow where it goes."
"Well, then, it's useless for us to hang around in this king's city, Grandpa." Lin Lin became angry again and slammed her feet.
“Nothing is wasted in this world. Everything is useful and has benefits as long as we know how to use it and reap the benefits. We are already in the city of kings, open your eyes carefully. Haven't you encountered a state that is new to you? Don't you want to see the king's palace from inside? I always stop at the palace when I come here and never forget to visit the kitchen. Heh-heh, it's been a long time since I enjoyed palace cuisine.”
Instantly Lin Lin's moodiness vanished. Her beautiful face was radiant, her eyes flashed and immediately her stomach suddenly became very hungry. "Well, let's go there, Grandpa. What dishes are there? Ouch my stomach is so hungry!”
The old man burst out laughing, apparently delighted at the changeable and strange disposition of the teenage girl. “Heh-heh-heh, you look exactly like you, really look like...”
"Like who, Grandpa?"
“Similar to people who are no longer there. Lin Lin. You may come with me to the palace and enjoy kitchen cooking that you have never eaten or seen in your life. However, it is very dangerous, many guards are clever.”
"I am not afraid!"
"It's not about being brave or afraid, but about your intelligence that I doubt."
“Eh, eh, you're criticizing me as well as yourself, Grandpa. Haven't you taught that all-empty lesson?" reproached Lin Lin.
The grandfather smiled wryly. The girl's way of referring to the knowledge she was teaching was really very condescending. He called it 'all empty', indeed the name of the knowledge he passed down was Khong-in (Mega Blank).
"Even though you have received lessons from me, but I am not sure whether you have practiced to maturity."
Angry Lin Lin. His head was raised, his chest was puffed out. "In the morning, afternoon and evening, you told me to practice, never let me relax, until I forgot to eat, forgot to sleep, forgot the place, you still say I haven't practiced properly, Grandpa? You really are an insolent person. Wow, what a shame, getting a friend just once like this doesn't remember people's kindness and hard work!
“Huah-ha-ha-ha!” Grandfather was laughing. Really crazy. He's the one who teaches supernatural powers, uh, this kid actually scolds him and it's as if this kid is giving something to him because he's been practicing so hard. Really good at twisting reality. “Well, I agree you've been training hard all this time. However, in order to sneak into the palace kitchen, one had to be really good at Khong-in-ban-kin. Try to show me one more time the Khong-in-liu-san knowledge that you learned while exerting your strength and ginkang. If I think that's enough, right now we'll go to the palace, have a big meal, orgies without pay!"
Lin Lin was overjoyed, then drew his sword and fought vigorously. However, at the stance to
seven, he is too hard to use sinkang energy and....
“Krakkk!” the sword he was swinging broke into three pieces!
The girl was shocked and stood stunned, disappointed and regretful to see that her right hand was only holding the hilt of the sword while the sword was already collapsing downwards. However, Kim-lun Seng-jin cheered and clapped his hands while dancing for joy. Lin Lin frowned, his mouth pouted, his eyes bloodshot, thinking that the grandfather was mocking him.
"Good, good...! You see for yourself, grandson. With the power of Khong-in-ban-kin, your lousy sword was broken into three pieces. Ha-ha-ha, your strength is great, but you can't control it so that it damages your own weapon. Enough and let's come to the palace, not only our big party, also you will be able to choose a treasure sword yourself in the treasure room.”
Instantly Lin Lin's anger vanished like a thin cloud in the wind. He jumped close to the old man, then put his arm around his shoulder. "Really, Grandpa? Come on, let's go quickly then!"
While laughing merrily both of them then flashed vanished into the darkness of the night. Kim-lun Seng-jin was not boasting when he stated that every time he came to the king's city he would definitely stop by the palace and enter the palace kitchen. It's true that this grandpa's only hobby is eating, eating well, not to mention the expensive delicious dishes in the palace kitchen that he can choose without paying!
The grandfather proved his words with his extensive knowledge of the palace. He knew very well the way to the palace, in fact he could choose which wall of the fence was not so hard guarded. This alone proved that he had indeed become a 'subscriber' of that forbidden place. From the south, the wall that encloses the palace complex is indeed very quiet. The gate was closed and several guards were talking in the guard hut. There were also patrolling the walls, carrying spears and swords.
Kim-lun Seng-jin was also annoyed to see the guards constantly patrolling the wall he chose to jump in. The wall was very high, no less than seven meters high.
However, what he chose was a place where a tree grew not far from the wall, only two meters away from the nearest branch to the wall. If only he didn't go with Lin Lin, of course he could choose any wall.
He took a stone and disambinya to the left. A groan was heard to the left. It turned out that a guard who was standing upright near the gate was hit by the stone, right on his shin in the leg, causing him to jump up and down and groan while holding the shin where the stone kissed it. His friends immediately ran over, including those who patrolled.
This opportunity was used by Kim-lun Seng-jin. He gestured for Lin Lin to jump up and follow him. At first the grandfather jumped onto the tree branch closest to the wall, only then did he jump over the wall. Lin Lin was a bit horrified too looking at that high place.
But he hardened his heart and jumped like a swallow. He was surprised to find that his jump was so light and easy. He understood now that this was the result of practicing the Khong-in-ban-kin Science, so he was secretly grateful to that old man.
They easily jumped inside from the top of the wall and they arrived at the palace area. "Who knows here we will meet a Golden Flute, Grandpa," said Lin Lin, admiring the large buildings decorated with colorful lights.
"Maybe, maybe..." the grandfather nodded. "That kind of person could be anywhere."
“Is he that great, Grandpa? Did you ever fight with him?”
The grandfather shook his head. "Never, not even met. However, in the past few years, he has made a big name, far beyond me, who has been in the world of kang-ouw for decades. I... I don't like to make a big name, just make a fuss. So, that's the kitchen over there, come on!"
Kim-lun Seng-jin held Lin Lin's hand and the two of them jumped up onto the roof tiles. Without making a sound, just like two cats, the grandfather and the teenage girl were jumping on the roof tiles. The old man stopped on a rather low tile, opened the tile, broke the wood supporting the tile, then infiltrated inside, followed by Lin Lin. They were already above the kitchen ceiling. With a slow movement, Kim-lun Seng-jin opened the ceiling in a corner which seemed to have been open for a long time.
"This is my secret door, I made a dozen years ago," he whispered with a big smile.
Lin Lin was amused as well in her heart. This grandpa really looks like a cat looking for meat, he thought. From the hole they peeked down and a delicious smell wafted in through the hole to greet their noses.
“Ehhhmmmm, waaahhhhh, delicious...!” Kim-lun Seng-jin sucked in with his nose. Also Lin Lin felt very hungry now. "Underneath no one, the remains of the Emperor's dish have been reheated, come!" It opened the hole and floated down, followed by Lin Lin.
The kitchen did not resemble a kitchen to Lin Lin. Too clean, too luxurious. Cleaner than his bedroom at his parents' house there. What is this called a kitchen? The floors were polished, the walls were white marble, and beautiful cupboards stood in a row in the corner, filled with large pots and bowls. The fireplace for cooking is on the left. The grandfather was right, the pot and bowls were still steaming, a sign that the contents were still hot.
That old man didn't want to pay attention or care about Lin Lin anymore because he was already busy opening and checking the contents of the pots and bowls. In his hand was a pair of ivory chopsticks he had taken from a cupboard. Now the hand that held the chopsticks was overwhelmed to serve his devouring mouth and quickly finished everything he put in. Chopsticks there, chopsticks here, run to the cupboard there, then to the cupboard here, that grandpa really had a party! His left hand grabbed the wine jug that was on top of the cupboard, and he could smell the fragrant aroma when he pushed the food in his mouth with the wine. His mouth made a sound like a pig eating when chewing food, his lips smacking with pleasure.
Lin Lin also joined in the feast even though he wasn't as devoured as that old man. But he was also happy not to play because there are so many kinds of extraordinary dishes there. Because he was not familiar with those dishes, he ate what the old man called a special dish.
"This is bird's nest soup, this is the tiger tongue team, this is shark soup cooked in soy sauce, and this... wow, this is grilled catfish!" He never stopped mentioning the names of dishes and Lin Lin had to admit that what the grandfather mentioned was indeed delicious and delicious.
I was so excited, Lin Lin also drank red wine which was not so strong, but warm in the stomach. Without them noticing their stomachs become full and the stomach is unable to follow the taste of the tongue. Lin Lin who begged for mercy first sat down on the chair, panting from satiety. What a childish teenage virgin, she shamelessly turned her back on the old man to loosen the inner and outer waistband!
“Heh-heh-heh, this is very satisfying. Wow, the Emperor is very royal today, what's wrong? You have a big fortune, Lin Lin!”
The grandfather was no longer able to fill his stomach. It seems that the food has filled his stomach up to the neck so that there is no more empty space to accommodate food. He plopped down on the floor, leaned against the wall and drank a little liquor while smacking his lips.
There was the sound of people talking and footsteps approaching. As fast as a thief (caught by people) Lin Lin had already jumped and barged into the hole above the ceiling. The old man followed him with a chuckle and while peering from above he whispered, "Ihhh, why are you so cowardly?"
Lin Lin didn't answer, her face was red. Not afraid, but who wouldn't be embarrassed if the owner caught stealing food? His heart was pounding restlessly. During his life, this is the first time he has committed theft. To be a food thief, how low and shameful! With his face still red, he stalked along, wanting to see who they were who had entered the kitchen. Is it the emperor himself? Or is it the empress? His heart is pounding.
Three people entered the palace kitchen. Seeing their clothes, presumably only kitchen workers. As soon as they entered the kitchen the three of them stopped talking and stared wide-eyed at the cupboards. One of them ran toward the cupboard and he heard him cry out in surprise.
“Unfortunately, some of the dishes are stolen! Someone ate it, look here, something spilled on the floor!”
"Wow, damn, of course someone is stealing in!"
The three men searched here and there, looked in all directions, then looked up. Lin Lin's heart pounded even more, feeling as if the three people already knew where he was hiding.
“Presumably a cat! How about people, how dare to play crazy in the palace kitchen?”
"Can a cat really devour so much food?"
"Who knows a stealth cat?"
The fuss of the three cooks. “Immediately report it to the guard, uh... just to the commander of the guard, let all the bodyguards be deployed to catch the cursed cat. If those who eat these dishes are not caught, it will be woe for us, of course we will be punished by His Majesty!"
One of them ran out, apparently about to report. Lin Lin was getting more and more agitated, but he saw Kim-lun Seng-jin instead sleeping snoring slowly under the tile! Presumably this grandfather was full and fell asleep, completely unaware of the commotion in the kitchen.
"Of course the cats, I don't know how many came in and stole the food," said the cook with a fat belly. "Hmmm, if caught, I will slaughter him, I will pull out his heart, I will cook it with ginger and sticky rice. Good for strengthening the heart and increasing blood.”
Lin Lin's face paled at this threat. He was so agitated that when he slid closer to the hole to look more closely, his head hit a tile making a sound. The two cooks below heard this and looked up suspiciously.
"Wow, the cat is up there!" someone pointed.
"How come? There is no hole, where did he come in?”
"Who knows a stealth cat?"
The fatty pointed his finger straight up at Lin Lin, then shouted, “Hey! Who's up there? Cats or humans, or demons?”
No answer.
"Presumably a thief!" said his friend.
"Better call the guards, let them be caught and showered with arrows."
"Later, who knows if it's just a mouse or a cat." He looked back at Lin Lin and shouted, “Heee! Who's hiding up in the ceiling? If it's a demon or a human, don't answer. If it's a cat, answer it!”
Lin Lin listened attentively, with all the feelings, tensed and heart pounding. Hearing this question, his mouth automatically answered, "Cats... uh, meeooonggg...!" He was so nervous that his answers were jumbled up.
“Oh! Cats can talk! Wow, wretched... devil...!” The two cooks ran headlong and in the doorway they collided and fell up and down.
“Heh-heh-heh!” Kim-lun Seng-jin laughed and grabbed Lin Lin's hand, invited to jump up onto the tile. "You're so funny, how can a cat talk like a human!"
Lin Lin's face was red, her mouth pouted. "I accidentally. It's over, I'm confused, you snoring so good, Grandpa!”
"Let's go to the treasure vault!"
The heirlooms are heavily guarded. Indeed, this warehouse is always guarded day and night because in it are stored heirloom weapons and flags belonging to the palace. "You come in, let me knock down the five guards, and while you're inside, I'll guard the outside. Quickly choose a sword that you like, but be careful, there are many traps there. I believe you can take care of yourself."
Lin Lin nodded and like two swallows, the grandpa and the teenage girl flew down. Five guards simultaneously gawked when suddenly in front of them stood a bald old man with a long beard and a young woman as beautiful as an angel. For a second they thought that they were being visited by a kindred spirit of devils and fairies, but in another second they were on their way to catch them. But they quickly lost. Both of the grandfather's hands moved and the five people collapsed and did not move anymore. With a push of his hand, Kim-lun Seng-jin managed to open the locked door.
Lin Lin quickly jumped in, but just as his feet stepped on the floor inside the building, he shot two arrows from right to left. It's good that this virgin has trained Khong-in-ban-kin diligently so that her ginkang is much higher than before, already I don't know how many times. The arrows were swift, but he was even faster. With nimble movements he had jumped forward between the arrows, all the way forward so that the arrows from right to left flew past behind his back!
Regardless of the arrows, Lin Lin stood in awe looking at the weapons lined up along the walls. Not playing the beauty of those weapons. The spears, ruyung, machetes, swords, sticks and various kinds, are usually the weapons of choice, ancient and made of aji iron that have a powerful light and aura.
However, Lin Lin's eyes fixed on a thin sword hanging on the wall to the left. This sword is small and thin, the sheath is made of tiger skin, the hilt is small and decorated with red ruffles. Like in a dream, his legs moved toward the left wall, then he stretched out his right hand, snatching the sword hanging from the wall. This sword is very light, but as soon as he pulls it from the wall, suddenly from above a large and heavy object flying down, flying fast will hit him!
Because that thing came so quickly, Lin Lin, who was already holding the sword in her right hand, didn't have time to dodge it anymore. He was forced to exert Khong-in-ban-kin's strength, his left hand parried and... there was a loud sound, the boulder that was sliding down was broken by Lin Lin's parry accompanied by Khong-in-ban-kin's power! So shocked because the breaking of the stone made a loud and noisy sound, Lin Lin quickly jumped out of the warehouse again and in another second he had arrived outside the room.
“Grandpa, I chose this sword...” he said breathlessly.
Kim-lun Seng-jin widened his eyes. "Appropriate! You know this sword? This is the Yellow Iron Sword, a sword plundered by the Khitans hundreds of years ago! Wow, if this isn't a magical name, I don't know what else to call it."
At that moment there was a loud sound of being beaten incessantly!
"Let's go!" Kim-lun Seng-jin understands that there will be a danger if the palace champions leave, so he doesn't want to play around anymore. His hand grabbed Lin Lin's wrist and they took off running as fast as they flew towards the wall, jumped over the wall and flew out. Presumably outside the guards have gathered to carry out the siege. But several times the old man moved his hands, many guards fell and they were able to run away in the dark. A few minutes later they were inside the ancient temple again.
They sat by the bonfire. The old man drew a sword and a yellow light dazzled his eyes. And suddenly the old man's eyes filled with tears, then he kissed the blade of the sword. Lin Lin looked on in surprise.
“Grandpa, you once said that I'm like a Khitan girl. You yourself said that I have the teeth and nose of the Khitan. Then you say this sword used to come from the Khitan nation. Dear grandpa, what does this all mean? What nation are the Khitans? Do you recognize this sword?”
The old man wiped away two tears from his eyes, then put the thin sword into the scabbard and handed it to Lin Lin. “You take good care of this sword and hide it under your cloak. Now you listen to my story. The Khitans are a mighty nation, a nation that always wanders because they want to enjoy the freedom of nature, not wanting to be bound by anything. They are a great nation, live happily and do not want to be enslaved by the world's treasures and worldly glory. But unfortunately, no matter what, Satan's lust still dominates the heart and a struggle for power arises, the strong one wants to be the leader. In the past, the daughter of the chief of the Khitan tribe was my student. Tayami, ah, he's a good boy, valiant and I'm not disappointed to have a student like him. She is the only daughter of our king who is wise, brave and just, did not want to submit to other kings, led his tribe with great affection, brought him to fertile areas. However, he had many brothers, and it was these brothers who were jealous, wanted to seize power, so that there was always a power struggle. I myself don't want to get involved, I don't like indulgence in lust to be rulers and seek glory in positions. Once I advised the king who became the father of my student to just give in, give the position of leader to his younger brother who really wanted to be king. However, he doesn't want to, even suspects me." Up here the grandfather took a deep breath. and it is these brothers who are jealous, want to seize power so that there is always a power struggle.

"Then what, Grandpa?"
