The mental blow that Kim-mo Taisu suffered when he found his student faint next to his daughter, made this swordsman suddenly become someone who seemed to lose his spirit. His hair immediately became all white, his face wrinkled and his eyes glazed over like a lamp out of oil. When he heard Bu Song's story about the accident that killed Eng Eng, the warrior's face became violent, then he ran and went berserk.
That day, the sound of Kim-mo Taisu was heard screaming and screeching all over the hill and the result was terrible. None of the monkey animals live there anymore. Hundreds maybe even thousands of monkeys and the little ones were all killed by Kim-mo Taisu and workthis killing spree was only completed after it was getting dark.
After burying his daughter's body near his wife's grave, Kim-mo Taisu looked at Bu Song with withering eyes, then asked. "Mrs. Song, you already have all the intelligence materials that I have, but it seems you don't feel that way. Come on, it seems it's better that way. The martial arts skills only turn out to be disastrous and you go to the Cou Muda Kingdom. There they begin to hold exams every year to select young, clever staff. After arriving in the king's city, you look for a friend of mine named Ciu Tang who works as a pawnshop manager, lives to the left of the Lok-an inn. You give me this letter and then he will be the one I will arrange for you to take the exam."
With a pale face and red eyes, Bu Song listened to his teacher's message, then he couldn't stand it anymorebumped into his teacher's feet and cried. "Ah, Suhu... calamity has befallen Suhu's life... teecu has not been able to repay the kindness of temperature at all, but Suhu always pays attention to teecu's condition "
Kim-mo Taisu took a deep breath. "Your paths of life and mine have diverged far apart. You don't like martial arts, I hope your life will be happier than mine. Maybe you are more right, Ms. Song."
With a touched and full of sorrow the young man then prepared the things he was about to bring.He was even more touched when he remembered that all of his clothes were gifts from his temperature. So he then remembered his own, namely the eagle's nest medicine he took from the peak. Immediately he took the medicine and gave it to Kim-mo Taisu while saying. "Teecu can't do anythingsomething to repay the kindness of Suhu, also did not have anything to give. This black eagle's nest may very well be of use to you, I hope you will accept it."
The old man was staring at this thing. "How did you get this?" he asked in astonishment.
Bu Song then recounted her experience when she helped an eaglet that fell and then she saw this object which she immediately picked up.
Kim-mo Taisu shook his head and said, “Truly Thian's will!normal! All kang-ouw people will drool at this thing, Bu Song. Even if I am given a thousand years myself, it is not certain that I will be able to obtain this thing. Ah, it's really funny when fate wants to play tricks on people. You have all the talents and foundations, but you don't like martial arts, but you got this black eagle gem! How cute! You keep this carefully, and whenever you feel hungry, you can cook this and eat it. This medicine will strengthen your body and prevent all kinds of poison from bothering you."
"Teeculeave it to the temperature"
Ah, I am old and already immune. Towhat kind of medicine? You save it and follow my advice, you eat it all up!"
This parting is very sad. Bu Song didn't want to leave his temperature before the old man left first. Finally, three days later, Kim-mo Taisu went down from the top, followed by the eyes of his student kneeling in front of the hut in the direction his teacher had left. After Kim-mo Taisu was out of sight,Only then did Bu Song carry his bundle, then he approached the graves of his teacher's wife and Eng Eng. He knelt and saluted in front of his teacher's mother's grave, then with his fist he wiped away tears, stood up and with wide steps he left the peak.
At that time, Bu Song was already twenty years old. His body was tall and well-built, his face was handsome, his eyebrows were in the shape of a machete and at a glance he was seen as fit to be a warrior. But his face
gloomy and gloomy, his pair of sharp eyes lost the joy of life while his chin hardened a sign that at that young he had experienced many disappointments in life. He has lost the people he loves. However, he must obey the command of his temperature, he must not disappoint his temperature expectations. He will take the exam with enthusiasm so that he succeeds. Thereforeit means that he upholds the name of his temperature and only this seems to be the only revenge that he will be able to do to his temperature.
********************
Meanwhile, after being away from the peak that had been his residence, Kim-mo Taisu then mobilized his intelligence and ran very fast towards the south. Remembering everything he had just experienced, Kim-mo Taisu sighed repeatedly....
Fate brought him together with Liu Lu Sian, even involving him in the affairs of his ex-girlfriend who is now a female devil character who is despised by everyone, kang-ouw. Fate forces him to defend Tok-siauw-kwi Liu Lu Sian so he kills the kang-ouw people who gang up on Lu Sian. Remembering how badly he was injured, taken away by his ex-girlfriend and cared for in a hut in the forest, cared for with patience and affection. Lu Sian loves her! And he still loves Lu Sian! They can't deny this either.
“Lu Sian, it's not good like this,” he said as the woman took care of himwith great affection. "We are old and our paths in life are far apart."
"Why is it not good, Kwee Seng?" Lu Cyan replied. "Indeed, our paths of life used to be far apart, but Thian brought us together and my eyes now open that in fact you are the only man I should be with forever. I used to be stupid, Kwee Seng, but nowYou know, won't you make amends for past mistakes?"
Kim-mo Taisu shook his head. “No way, Lu Sian. It's no longer possible”
Lu Sian held back a sob. "Kwee Seng, I'm being caged everywhere by enemies. I can't bear to face all that alone. I'm tired, Kwee Seng. I already miss living peacefully next to the person I love!" Lu Sian was now really crying, laying face down on the chest of Kim-mo Taisu who was lying on the bamboo cot.
"It's too late, Lu Sian. Then again, are you trying to destroy your own son's happiness?""What ?” Lu Sian jumped back and looked at Kim-mo Taisu's face with wide eyes.
Kim Mo Taisu smiled. Her chest didn't hurt anymore after last night's treatment by Lu Sian who put all of her inner strength into restoring her ex-lover's health. Also medicinal herbsLu Sian's savings are very effective for healing wounds in the body.
"Lu Sian, you don't know that for years your son, Kam Bu Song, has been following me and being my disciple. In fact, he is now going to be my son-in-law."
Lu Sian's eyes widened, his mouth opened and he no longer felt the tears dripping down his cheeks. Joy, emotion, and sorrow suffocated in his chest. "Tell me..." she whispered, "Tell me about him"
Kim-mo Taisu briefly then told about his meeting with Bu Song and how Bu Song became his student, then how he arranged Bu Song to marry Eng Eng.
“Your son is strange and wise, unlike us, Lu Sian. He hates martial arts and absolutely doesn'twants to learn martial arts, instead he considers martial arts as a very evil science."
“Hee...? Why is that? Then, he becameyour students study is?"
"Learn the science of reading and writing, draw and write beautifully. Study literature. In fact, now I'm going to make him take the exam in the city of kings. Only after passing the exam will the marriage take place. Lu Sian, for the sake of your son's happiness, you must agree, right?"
Lu Cyan lowered his head. "Then... he... he sure ishate me "
"He doesn't hate anyone either. Only, of course he doesn't know that his mother isTok-siauw-kwi "
"Aaahh!" Lu Sian sobbed into tears. But his hardness soon overtook his heart and mind. He
jump standing. "Don't care! Let him be a sonhis father, be a good man, be a prince! I'm Tok-siauw-kwi!” Liu Lu Cyan then jumped away and left Kim-mo Taisu.
"LuCyan !" Kim-mo Taisu called, but the woman didn't come back.
He took a deep breath quietly. Very sorry to see the fate of his former lover. He understood that his story about Bu Song earlier had broken Lu Sian's heart and caused great stressonce to a woman who feels like she has lost everything. Why shouldn't it be pitied if a woman like Lu Sian, because of her own actions when she was young, when she is old, everyone hates her, even her own son doesn't want her to?
Kim-mo Taisu himself never dreamed that his own fate would be so bad. HeLu Sian was sad, felt sorry for Lu Sian, but he didn't know at all that at that time his family was hit by a great disaster. Kwee Eng, his only daughter, the only person who is his family in this world, has been taken by death in a very sad situation....
Indeed, there are so many things that happen in this world that are very sad and confusing to humans. Many things happen that seem unfair. However, this is not the case. All events that occur are the will of God who arranges perfectly. Just because all of that is a big secret, humans cannot understand it with reason andmind, so that it may seem strange and strange and unjust to men at times.
According to popular opinion, it seems only fitting that a person like Liu Lu Sian should suffer after he is old because he reaped the fruits of all that he did when he was young. Still young become slaves to lust, after old regret and sorrow arise. But what about Kim-mo Taisu? Why does he always live miserable and miserable? Wasn't he a great warrior, a virtuous man? Why did he experience life suffering in old age?
That's the way it should be! This world revolves by two natures that are contradictory and push each other, turn each other on. There is light and dark, there is heat and cold! That's right. Who suffer from the dark, who suffer from the heat or cold! Happy are those who do not suffer from light or darkness, from heat or cold. They are actually human beings who are aware and able to adapt to all events that befall them because they understand that all of this is God's will!
All events that should have happened in this world, happened according to His plan and His will. No other power in the world can change that. Events happen. There is no hard or happy. Difficult or happy is the result of the response of the human who faces it. A wise and conscious man will receive full awareness and pleasure, whether the event is beneficial or detrimental to him. Conversely, people who are not aware will receive it with cheers of joy or tears of sorrow. It is this kind of acceptance that will form uninterrupted consequences and actions, forming circles. Stronger karma shackles humans.
Kim-mo Taisu is not a fool, but he is weak. The events that happenedhe received himself with broken feelings and caused him to plant seeds of deep hatred and revenge against the enemies of his wife's family. The death of his wife and daughter made this warrior only have one goal in his heart, namely to take revenge and eradicate the enemies of his wife's family.
He began to wander and from that moment on, the name Kim-mo Taisu became famous as a person whose actions were frightening. Figures who felt that they were once enemies with the Tang Empire, who were once enemies with Kong Lo Sengjin or Sin-jiu Couw Pa Ong secretly hid themselves, afraid to meet Kim-mo Taisu who was very skilled in intelligence.
Bu Song was also devastated by Eng Eng's death. But he is a strong young mansuffer. Presumably because he suffered a lot since childhood, made his heart strong and immune. It's not easy for him to collapse. Presumably, it was because of this strong and healthy body that made Bu Song able to travel fast and full of passion for life. His eyes that had been dim and glistening began to shine again, his legs stepped wide.
For days he traveled up and down the mountain. He obeyed his teacher's message and started eating the black eagle's nest. It's delicious, tasty and fragrant. Also, every time he eats his stomach feels full and lasts a day without eating. Little did this young man know that the thing he was eating was a powerful medicine that was extremely rare, a medicine that made his blood clean and his bones strong. After traveling for fifteen days, the bird's nest ran out and he started looking for fruit along the way and there were times when he bought food at the stall of a village he passed. The provision provided by the teacher is quite a lot.
One day when he was passing through a steep mountainside, he heard the sound of people fighting. The sound came from below the slope and what made Bu Song interested and surprised was a strange high-pitched sound, like someone laughing but also like a woman's voice crying. He then quickened his pace toward the sound.
Sure enough, around a corner, he saw a beautiful woman competing against two old men. But the match was very strange. The woman sat cross-legged under a tree, while the two men stood in front of her. One is a grandfather with a bald head armed with a stick, while the second is a tall, thin grandfather with long hair and a sword that shines brightly.
Surprisingly, the two grandfathers only threatened with their weapons while the woman onlylaughing mockingly, not moving at all from where he cross-legged. By the time Bu Song arrived at the place and peeked out from behind a boulder, the woman said, her voice melodious yet sinisterly cold.
"Once again I warn you. Don't bother me and go. I'm not hostile to Siauw-lim-pai, neithernot hostile to Kong-thong-pai. It is your party that has always been hostile to me. I'm tired of fighting, tired of killing. Go and don't bother me!"
"Female demon, the grudge between us is as deep as the ocean. Must be redeemed with our lives!" cried the old man while moving his sword slashing.
"Omitohud, Tok-siauw-kwi, pinceng is also not a fighter, but your sin against Siauw-lim-paitoo much already. Limp's obligation to punish you!" said the Hwesio while stepping forward.
Suddenly the woman let out a high shrill voice and her long hair moved forward, turning into a bolt of black light that flashed violently. The two grandfathers were very surprised. It was in vain for them to move their weapons to free themselves because their weapons suddenly got entangled in their hair and without being able to stop them anymore, the sticks and swords flew from their hands and were thrown into the abyss!
"You are not my opponent. Go, I'll spare you!" The woman said again, still sitting cross-legged, even now closing her eyes like someone about to meditate.
However, the two old men looked even more angry. "Tok-siauw-kwi evil demon! We are not afraid of death. You or we must die right now!"
The Hwesio grabbed a branch of a tree and used it as a spear which he threw with all his might at the woman. The grandfather from Kong-thong-pai also took out a piauw weapon which he threw with all his might towards the three dangerous parts of the body. Seeing this, Bu Song was secretly horrified.
The distance between the two people and the beautiful woman who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed under the tree was not far, whereas the attack was unbelievably fast and powerful. He imagined how the woman would die in terrible circumstances and there was also curiosity in his heart that thought the actions of the two men were completely beyond praise. It was clear that the woman had given in, but the two men were reckless, even carrying out a very underhanded attack.
But suddenly Bu Song's eyes became dazzled seeing bright light coming out of the woman's hands. I don't know what happened, he couldn't follow clearly, but all of a sudden the two grandfathersscreamed loudly and... the Hwesio's chest was pierced by the branch he threw earlier, while Grandfather clutched his chest which was eaten by three of his own piauws. Their injuries were great, with wide eyes they spun around, then collapsed violently and soon both of them died.
The woman let out a loud shrill voice like someone crying. When Bu Song looked again, it turned out that the woman had disappeared, was no longer there. Mrs. Song's heart was pounding. Incredible and terrible events occurred in front of his eyes. Murder incidents, again carried out by people who have high knowledge. He came out of his hiding place, took wide steps toward the two people who had become corpses, then took a deep breath. With a heart of curiosity he looked up and said in a loud voice.
"Revenge! Murder! Murder! Is it only for this that humans are born in the world?"
Then Bu Song intervened, rolled up his sleeves and dug up the rocks under the tree, digging a hole wide enough to bury the bodies of the two unfamiliar grandfathers. While doing this, the woman's face flashed before his eyes and Bu Song repeatedly took deep breaths. What a pitiful woman, he thought. Life flutters in waves of hostility that cannot be shaken off and which seem to chase it all the time. This time he won, will he be able to win next time? Intelligence has no limits and once in a while it is certain that the woman who becomes the victim, dies horribly like the circumstances of these two grandfathers. It's still good that these two grandfathers died in front of him so there are still people burying their bodies!
After finishing burying the two bodies, Mrs. Song dusted off her clothes from the dust, slung the bundle of clothes she took down earlier, then walked away from that place. The sun was already leaning to the west and with the ends of her sleeves Bu Song wiped her sweat.
Suddenly he stopped and looked intentlyforward. Earlier he saw a flashing shadow and now suddenly in front of him stood the beautiful woman with long hair who had killed the two grandfathers! Bu Song looked at her heart pounding. At first glance, this woman wasn't scary at all. Even very attractive and beautiful, but his cold eyes and wrinkles on his mouth imagined something terrible.
"Why did you bury them?" The woman asked, her eyes sharp and searching.
Bu Song looked back at the graves of the two grandfathers, then he looked back and took a deep breath. He was not in the least bit afraid of this woman and her rebuke even brought curiosity to his heart. He understood that this woman was suffering from the inside and tried to cover up her suffering with a cold and hard attitude.
"Auntie, your question is out of place. I should be the one asking, why did you kill them?"
The woman was taken aback, apparently not expecting the answer at alllike this. "Hey, young man, answer my question. Don't play games. Why did you bury them? What are they?"
"It's nothing, just human beings. Seeing two human beings killed and becoming corpses on the street, it is my duty to bury them. Me and Aunt myself will also need the help of other people when we die."
"What did you say? Young man, watch your mouth. Did you know that once I intervene you will not live again?"
How surprised was the heart of the woman who was feared in the world, Kang-ouw, when she saw the young man laughing at her words. "Auntie just makes jokes that aren't funny!"
"What... what do you mean?" he asked, so surprised that he stared wide-eyed.
"Who is this aunt who can control the life and death of other people? You don't feel like giving life to me, how can you control my life and death?"
"What? You dare?" Tok-siauw-kwi was more surprised thanin anger. "Nothing to challenge. I justI want to say that if the HE who gave me life wants me to die, even without Aunt intervening I will die. But if HE doesn't want me to die, let a thousand people like Aunt intervene, I won't die! Death and life are in God's hands. Who is this aunt who wants to defeat God's power? Even though Aunt's own life was in His hands! Can you fight death if God wants your life to return to where it came from?"
Instantly Tok-siauw-kwi's face went pale. her eyes widened and he touched her cheek without her realizing it. "I... I won't die...!"
Bu Song shook her head, then she walked away from there saying, "Auntie is someone to be pitied...!"
The wind hit hard suddenly the woman was standing in front of him. "Eh, presumptuous brat. What did you say?"
"I said you should be pitied to the point of refusing to acknowledge God's power, and denying the fact that all human beings must die. You're afraid to die, which means you've lost your grip on life, that you've lost your personality, that you think life is within your control and you mastered itsomeone else who was hostile to Auntie. Ah, how miserable to live like this Auntie."
The woman's face was getting paler. "You're lying! I'm not afraid of anyone! You saw it. ThemBoth are enemies to me but cannot fight me. Whoever opposes me will die!"
"Is that right, Auntie? Beating other people is not a strange thing, defeating personal desires is only a noble deed! The more you kill people, the more you plant seeds of enmity and the more miserable life becomes. Humans live to help each other, not to be hostile to each other and kill each other."
"After all, if those two bastards forced me, should I just give myself up and be killed like that?"
"Ah, Auntie is lacking in sense. Magical Auntie, how hard is it to keep away from those who are hostile to Auntie? However, Auntie is indeed bloodthirsty, loves to kill, really vicious...!"
The woman was furious. He let out a high shriek and his hands were raised up. From the right hand came out a very hot air, while the loud shrill sound almost knocked over Bu Song who suddenly felt like his chest was being stabbed. "Sloppy mouthed bastard! Who are you? I won't kill a nameless man!"
Miss Song, take it easy. Indeed, he himself views life as empty and full of disappointment after the death of Eng Eng. He was not at all afraid of death that threatened him. "If God
wanted me to die and Aunt managed to kill me, meaning Aunt only freed me from the shackles of life. I have nothing to lose, but you yourself are adding to the chain that shackles your life, Auntie. My name is Miss Song."
"Mrs. Song...???" Her eyes widened and her pretty face turned even paler. "You... you... Kim-mo Taisu's student...?"
"He is my teacher, but I will not usethe name of my teacher for the shield of my life. my teacheralone does not control my life, only God has the right to die my life!"
"Plakkk!"
The hand slapped down, but what was slapped was not Bu Song's face, but his own face! The woman fell over, then cried and finally jumped away very fast. Only her shrill cries could still be heard by Bu Song who stood dumbfounded, then shook her head.
“Poor thing,” he thought. “That woman has too many sins, kills too many people sohis mind is not sane anymore!” He then turned around and continued his walk down the slope with wide strides.
Of course Bu Song never suspected that this woman was none other than his birth motherAlone! That woman is Tok-siauw-kwi Liu Lu Cyan! The attitude of a weak young man who dared to advise and admonish her made this woman astonished, then caused her extraordinary anger. However, as soon as she heard that the youth was Bu Song, her own biological son, she felt as if she had been slapped in the face by her own hand. He almost killed his own child!
His son is so handsome and dashing. He wanted to hug her, hold her head to his chest. But how can he do that after his son has buried the two people he killed? The lost mother, a human demon whom the child himself called bloodthirsty, murderous and vicious! How disgusted and loathed that child would be to him!
Tok-siauw-kwi Liu Lu Cyan cried while running fast as if flying away from that place. Then he threw himself under a big tree in a forest not far from where he had met his son earlier. She was crying, pulling her hair, banging her head on the tree trunk in front of her. Lu Sian was going mad and at that moment he just wanted to die!
She burst into tears when she remembered Kwee Seng who had told her that besides being his student, he would also become his son-in-law. How can she as a biological motherletting his only son marry without giving his blessing and without witnessing it? But after this encounter, how could she meet the young man and claim to be his mother?
Lu Cyan suddenly stopped crying and looked up in surprise. Yang-khim's very melodious voice echoed in the forest. For a moment he was stunned, rising anger. Who dares to interrupt his preoccupation with grieving? He's grieving, he's crying, uh, that fellow has the nerve to put on the music. Isn't the sound of yang-khim a sign of joy and as if mocking him who is grieving? Is it the same as laughing at someone who is crying? Tok-siauw-kwi became violent and as soon as his body moved, he already shot towards the sound, fast like a flying bird.
Player yang-khim is an old man whose hair is all white. The grandfather sat cross-legged on a yang-khim musical instrument, the fingers of both hands moved slowly playing the yang-khim strings, his mouth smiled and his eyes looked far ahead and seemed to be visiting a secret behind the clouds.
Seeing the way this grandfather played yang-khim, Lu Sian could tell that this grandfather must be a scholartall and unmistakably one of the kang-ouw figures who had been pursuing and hostile to him. Better to intervene before the old man can attack him, he thought. Anxious to finish off, Lu Sian had already taken out Sian-tok-ciam's red needles and with the exertion of Sinang, he threw the needles at the old man who was still having fun playing yang-khim.
