Bu Song who was watching from the side was horrified. Apart from being dazzled by the flashing light, he didn't eitherknow how a human being can save himself from such great danger. The seven horse riders who had been skilled earlier died instantly from being attacked by a hui-to each one, andhe himself had Kong Lo Sengjin not been helped, he would have been slaughtered with a flying machete. Especially now that the crippled grandfather was simultaneously being attacked with so many hui-to. Where can you save yourself? He had already imagined how grandpa would collapse with his body sliced into several small pieces of flesh!
However, this time the flying machete attack was aimed at Kong Lo Sengjin, a powerful old man with high knowledge. Indeed, even this old man was surprised to see the intensity of the attack by the two clerics, and he understood that those flying objects were very strong and dangerous, he could not possibly have repelled them with his bare arms. But this grandfather immediately swung his body and the two sticks that replaced the two legs were now circling around his body, turning into a spherical coil of light.
“Trang-tring-trang-tring!” there was a continuous loud sound and the scenery was very beautiful at that time.
Those flashing rays that flew towards the crippled grandfather, now scattered like shooting stars and the crisp sound that was heard from the meeting of the flying sabers with the two staffs seemed to give off some kind of strange music. In the end, the dozens of machetes that were the provision of the two Hui-to-pang figures were used up.
They stopped throwing flying machetes and stood with glaring eyes at their opponents. However, now Kong Lo Sengjin has lost his cane and can be seen sitting cross-legged on the ground. The two sticks that had previously represented the legs and were later used to block the flying machetes had in fact been shattered into several pieces, lying in front of his paralyzed legs.It turned out that all the flying machetes could be parried, but the old man lost a pair of his sticks which became damaged.
Bu Song was shocked and thought that grandpa was injured. Even though he never liked that old man, and earlier his heart was pounding when he heard the conversation between them about the murder that was committed on his teacher's mother which turned out to be a conspiracy between the paralyzed grandfather and the Hui-to-pang, but seeing that grandfather was apparently helpless, he felt sorry for him and stepped closer.
"Lo-cianpwe, are you hurt? How shameless those two hwesios, ganging up on an old cripple with a flying machete!"
Kong Lo Sengjin laughed. "I only lost my two wands, but that's okay, you're therehere replaces it. Come on you idiots, you help your grandpa take them to hell!"
Mrs. Song was very surprised. "What... what does Lo-cianpwe mean...?"

But suddenly the old man's body moved, jumped up. Before Bu Song knew what the grandfather was going to do, the body had grabbed him and was suddenly on top of his back! The paralyzed legs were hanging from the top of his shoulders and it turned out that the old man was already sitting on the back of his neck!
"Come on, bring me closer to them!" shouted Kong Lo Sengjin.
You know now Bu Song what that grandfather meant. He was about to be made into a kind of riding horse because that grandpa was lame and couldn't walk! Of course he didn't like it, especially when he was asked to fight. But suddenly he felt his body being pushed forward and he couldn't hold it anymore his two legs were already moving fast forward. I hope the magic grandfather uses his magic power to force and push him.
The two Hui-to-pang hwesio were also angry to see that their hui-to did not succeed in knocking down Kong Lo Sengjin, only damaging a pair of his sticks. However, remembering that the crippled grandfather had lost his weapon, they became proud and immediately charged forward, attacking Kong Lo Sengjin and of course Bu Song who did not escape the attacks either!
You can imagine how bitter Mrs. Song's heart was. He felt the wind grabbing from the front with great force. However, Kong Lo Sengjin had also moved, his hands were flailing forward and the tremendous and enormous blows of the wind were coming out of his hands and sleeves. As soon as this crippled grandfather twisted his arms around, his opponents were pushed back and let out shocked cries.
"Ha-ha-ha, where are you guys running to?" Kong Lo Sengjin exclaimed.
His body was almost hanging from Bu Song's neck because of the great desire to take down his two opponents who always jumped away. Several times the grandfather patted Bu Song's head while scolding,"Come on, hurry up after them, idiot!"
However, Bu Song, who has no desire to fight, just moves around as she pleases, only obeys the urge that forces her body to lean forward or to the right and left and takes steps only if she has to.
It turned out that the two hwesio were exceptional in their use of hui-to. In hand-to-hand combat, they are not against Kong Lo Sengjin who has a much stronger sink than them. All of their attacks, both aimed at the old man's body and those aimed at Bu Song, were countered by the fierce wind, the movements of both grandfather's arms were paralyzed. They realized this, so after struggling hard for dozens of moves, the two then jumped and fled.
"Idiots, chase them!" Kong Lo Sengjin pulled Bu Song's hair.
HoweverBu Song didn't want to, even stood up straight. "I can't run as fast as them, anyway what's the use of chasing them, Lo-cianpwe?"
"Come on, chase them, or I'll crush your head!" Kong Lo Sengjin snapped again.
However, Bu Song did not answer, but looked to his left and shouted. "Damn, Grandpa hanged himself!"
Kong Lo Sengjin's movements are very fast. His body had already jumped off Bu Song's shoulders and in this floating state he had already severed the rope and threw Ciu Gwan Liong's body to the ground in one flash, while he himself was already cross-legged beside him.
"Damn old fart!" Kong Lo Sengjin grumbled.

However, he didn't care about the literary grandfather who was gasping for air, but quickly checked all of Ciu Gwan Liong's clothes and took out his pockets. However, the object they were looking for, the book, was not there. Kong Lo Sengjin became angry, he gripped the shoulders of the dying grandfather,shaking and lifting his body while shouting, "Where is the book? Come on, tell me, where is the book?" his voice is very scary and full of threats.
"Lo-cianpwe, don't torture him. Look at him alreadysucks "
"Don't care! Hey, Ciu Gwan Liong, tell me, where did you hide the book? For the sake of the devil, if you don't confess, I'll torture you so that you die slowly!"
"Lo-cianpwe..." Bu Song was about to admit and handed over the book because he couldn't stand watching the weak grandfather being tormented, but at that moment the old poet had opened his eyes and said weakly.
"I gave the book...to... Kim-moTaisu After saying that, the old man went limp and twitched
Kong Lo Sengjin let him go, he was dead!
Bu Song lowered his head and took a deep breath. "Let me buryhis corpse ,” he said
slowly, then he picked up a large machete from the waist of the corpse of one of the seven horsemen earlier. "And their corpses too," he added.
"Huh, you're out of work brat. Eh, where's your teacher? And why are you here?"
"I was sent by Suhu to take a test in the king's city, Lo-cianpwe. Meanwhile, Suhu himself had left the mountain to avenge Subo's death."
Kong Lo Sengjin pondered for a moment. "You made a pair of sticks for me. Hurry up! I have to get out of here!"
For Bu Song, the sooner the grandfather left the better. So without arguing he then climbed to the top of the tree, chose two tree branches and cut them down with a machete. After removing the branches and leaves, he handed the pair of sticks to Kong Lo Sengjin. This grandpa received a pairstick and once moving his body, he was already 'standing' on the two sticks.
"You listen carefully! According to this literary grandfather, the book was handed over to your master. This is meaningfulYour temperature will be despised and wanted by people all over Kang-ouw. So you have to shut up, don't talk about it to anyone. Watch out if you reveal this secret, I'll come and smash your head, got it?!"
"Understood, Lo-cianpwe."
Kong Lo Sengjin smiled and nodded, then he sped away at a speed that amazed and dumbfounded Bu Song. But then he paid no more attention to the grandfather and immediately started with his task of burying the bodies of Ciu Gwan Liong and the bodies of the seven horsemen earlier. The sun was already sinking into the western sky when he finished his task, then carrying a bundleclothes, he continued on his way, stepping towards the walls of the king's city.
Luckily the gate had not been closed and he hastily entered the king's city which was very foreign to him. He was amazed to see the big buildings, but his heart cramped when he saw guards and people dressed like the seven horsemen whose bodies he had buried earlier guarding each gate of the big buildings. Asking questions, he easily found the Liok-an inn which was at the left end of the main road, near the western gate of King's City.
The Liok-an's inn is not big, and the Liok-an letters stuck on the front board of the house are old. Because it was getting dark, Bu Song felt it would be impolite to find a friend or acquaintance of his teacher, so he entered the inn and asked for a room from an old maid who greeted him. This inn was small and poor, so there weren't many guests. Easily Miss Song

get a room. Then he asked the old servant about a pawnbroker named Ciu Tang who he said lived to the left of the inn.
"Ciu Tang? There is indeed, and this afternoon the pawnshop is closed. His house is behind the inn. Is Kongcu going to meet him?"
"That's right, Lopek. But first thing in the morning. I hope you like taking me there."
The servant was pleased with the young man's demeanor and polite words, so he immediately expressed his willingness. And the next day, early in the morning he was escorted by the maid to an inner housesmall alley near the inn. After meeting the person he was looking for, the maid left him.
Ciu Tang alonetall and thin, with a long but well-groomed beard and clothes, although not luxurious, but neat enough.
Bu Song quickly saluted and said, "Excuse me if my arrival disturbs Uncle. I am Liu Bu Song and my arrival was at the request of the Master who brought a letter for Uncle." He took out Kim-mo Taisu's letter and handed it to the bearded man.
As soon as he received the letter and read the name of the sender, Ciu Tang quickly raised both hands in salute and his face turned full of respect. "Ah, presumably this hiante is a student of our helper Kim-mo Taisu? Please sit down, please..."
Bu Song thanked them and they sat on a bench facing a round table. Ciu Tang opened the cover of the letter and read while fingering his beard and nodding. Then he folded the letter and put it in his pocket.
"In-kong (Mr. Helper) has said that you want to take the exam, and remember the kindness that you havebestowed upon us by in-kong, so I will try my best to help you, Hiante."
Bu Song quickly saluted and said, "Thank you for Uncle's ability, and I beg for guidance."
The person named Ciu Tang took a deep breath. "Aahhh, with the constant wars, power struggles and government changes, the fate of us educated people is really wretched! Because conditions are never safe, the authorities rarely have honest, oppressive and corrupt acts. In terms of exams it's the same. Everyone years many have taken the exam, but the only ones who succeed and pass are those who can bribe a lot of gold!But I know the head of the exam section,namely Prince Suma Kong. Even though it's not certain that he'll want to look me in the face, but at least Hiante will definitely get his attention and won't go unnoticed."
"Many thanks, Uncle. Uncle is really very generous."
"Ah, don't talk about kindness, Hiante. If you want to talk about kindness, it's your teacher who has bestowed kindness on us and our family. If you didn't have your teacher, not only would my company go bankrupt, but maybe all of us in the household would have perished!" Then the host told how before when he was harassed by a gang of criminals in the city of kings and his daughter was about to be robbed, he was helped by Kim-mo Taisu who eradicated the gang so that his family was safe and his company, even though it was small, was still able to run until now.
Bu Song was then introduced to a very friendly hostess and three dozen boysyears who are all educated children anyway. The family's eldest daughter is married and lives in An-sui city. Then Bu Song was asked to stay at the Ciu Tang family's house while waiting for the exam time to open.
It was true what Ciu Tang told Bu Song. At that time, the head of the exam section was Prince Suma Kong, a prince who used his position to seek huge gains for himself. Because he is still related to King Cou Muda, then

his power is also great and even though his corrupt actions are no longer a secret, no one dares to interfere with him.
Because he only pays attention to the students taking the exam who are able to pay big bribes, the results of the exam are of course not based on the merits of the writing or whether or not the student is clever, but based on the size of the bribe! Of course Prince Suma Kong is not a reckless person. Of course, he would prefer to have a really smart bribe, because passing a follower who is too stupid is also a big risk for him. So every time an exam was held, he would personally check the disciples' results.
The exam was held less than a month after Bu Song arrived in the royal city. With a pounding heart, Mrs. Song took the exam and how happy her heart was when she found out how easy the questions were on the exam paper, and how easy the titles she had to make in her essay were. At that time, exams were based on knowledge of philosophies and sayings from ancient scriptures. Because Bu Song really liked this, of course almost all of it had been memorized by her and withit's easy that he meets the requirements and can answer satisfactorily in beautiful writing.
Ciu Tang is not a wealthy man. Indeed, he also gave bribes to defend Bu Song, Willbut in comparison with other bribers, their number is too small. However, because of Ciu Tangoften being a 'go-between' for bribers who flooded the king's city every year, he was already known by prince Suma Kong and this gave him hope because in his letter he confessed that Liu Bu Song was his own nephew!
As usual happens every year, the results of the exam crushed the hopes of tens, even hundreds of students who originally came to the city of kings full of hope. They were declared to have failed the exam! Years of wasted time learning tens of thousands of letters, memorizing hundreds of rhymes, swallowing thousands of verses of ancient sayings!Only a few dozen people passed, that is, those who brought enough provisions. Among those who failed included the name Liu Bu Song!
"Extraordinary!" Bu Song exclaimed in surprise and regret when he heard the announcement. "All questions I can answer and all poems and compositions I write preferably in the fastest time!"
"Not weird... not weird at all!" said Ciu Tang while gesticulating. "We don't have much gold, that's why you didn't graduate, Hiante. I'm very sorry, and feel ashamed of the inkong Kim-mo Taisu, but what can I say, I'm not a rich man..."
"Please Uncle Ciu Tang don't regret things"That's it!" Bu Song quickly said comfortingly. "Temperature himself already knows this and it's not Uncle's fault at all. I'm sure that Uncle has fought enough and even if I don't graduate, I still won't forget Uncle's kindness.I just feel curious and amazed, why do educated people like those who sit above it have the heart to do such shameful things? At first I thought that only intelligence, ma'am (martial arts) could be used by people for crimes. Who wouldn't be astonished and bewildered to think how people who study all kinds of fine arts like painting and poetry, fine writing, can do things that only criminals should do?"
"What now, Hiante? Where is Hiante going? Are you going back to inkong Kim-mo Taisu?"
Mrs. Song thought. Where to? The teacher goes somewhere and knows when he will return. And why return to the top of the mountain? There was no one there, only Eng Eng's grave! Which existsonly sad memories Looking for his mother! Yes, he will look for his mother, will wander anywhere.
"I will go, Uncle. Tomorrow I will go, I can't say where yet"
Ciu Tang felt sorry for this young man. "Liu-hiante, if you like living here, then let me help my company. Not a suitable job for a student like you, but not bad while waiting for the opportunity to hold exams another year."
However, Bu Song was not interested anymore. He shook his head and replied, "Thank you, Uncle. However, I prefer to wander."
The next day, early in the morning Bu Song was ready to leave. Suddenly the sound of hoofs stopped in front of Ciu Tang's house and a man in dashing clothes got off the horse, approached the door and immediately asked Bu Song who was sitting outside with Ciu Tang.
"Does a student named Liu Bu Song live here?"
Bu Song quickly got up and stood up. "I myself am named Liu Bu Song."
That person looked at Bu Song intently, then stared back. "I was sent by Suma-ongya to hand over a letter." He took out the letter which was wrapped in a cover that was handsomely written.
"Ah, I hope it's from Suma-ongya...! Liu-hiante hasten to welcome Ongya's letter with proper respect!" saying so, Ciu Tang pulled Bu Song's hand to kneel down in front of the envoy and received the letter on his knees!
"Please sir take a seat and drink some of our warm wine," Ciu Tang offered.
The man saluted and said, "Thank you, I have other needs. I just heard Ong-ya's message earlier that this young man is very much expected to come to see him as soon as possible!" He jumped again and then got out and jumped on his horse. There was the sound of hooves running away from the house.
Ciu Tang pulled Bu Song's hand to stand up. The young man was still stunned because he feltnot happy to have to receive a letter in that way, just like receiving a king's edict!
"Quickly open and read, Hiante. Who knows, you may get something special, because the letter from Suma-ongya certainly has something to do with your exam results. Quickly open and read!" Ciu Tang's voice trembled with tension.
However, Bu Song was calm. His fingers did not tremble as he opened the cover of the letter and tore out a thin, smooth sheet of paper full of beautiful writing.
'Prince Suma Kong was interested in the writings of examinee Liu Bu Song and ordered himcame to face as soon as possible to the palace to be given a job assignment.'
"Wow, kionghi... kionghi...(Happy, congratulations), Liu-hiante!" cried Ciu Tang excitedly.
However, Bu Song is not as happy as Ciu Tang. In fact, it is not the rank and position that he expects from the results of taking this exam, especially if he gets that position like a beggar receiving alms! What exactly was the purpose of taking the exam, he himself did not know.
Since childhood, he studied literature because he really likes to read and write, likes to read poetry and ancient books about philosophy of life. And now he takes the exam just to obey his temperature orders. Apart from this, he does know that everyone who pursues intelligence means ultimately taking exams and getting a siucai title, even though he himself has never understood what it means to get that title. Presumably it was because he did not like studying martial arts that made him more inclined to deepen his knowledge of literature.
"Uncle Ciu, why are you congratulating me? As for myself, I don't necessarily like accepting this offer."
"Huh? How is it, Liu-hiante? To be given a job assignment by Suma-ongya, this is a very high honour! There isn't necessarily one in a hundred who has such good luck. Especially when you remember that you failed the exam!"
"That is precisely what makes my heart go cold, Uncle. If I am declared not to pass, why are I given a job? If the Prince is interested in my writing, why should I not pass?"
"Ah, you still can't see reality, Liu-hiante. Suma-ongya was attracted to your beautiful writing, then wanted to give you a job. That means matchmaking and indeed your star is shining. As for not passing your exam, that's because less conditions. Why is something like that still surprising anyway?"
Miss Song nodded. "Really, Uncle. I can already see the reality, a very bitter reality, a sad reality that makes me reluctant to work for an official who is so unfair. I'll just go right now, Uncle."
Ciu Tang jumped up and held the youth's arm, his face turning pale. "Liu-hiante... it's true that I have no right to force you... but do you want to destroy what your master has ever protected?"
"What do you mean, Uncle?"
"The safety of my family was once saved by your master and for that I will never forget your kindness. However, if you leave now, it means that my family's safety will be destroyed. Suma-ongya certainly will not accept your refusal. Your refusal will be considered as humiliation and since I have acknowledged you as my own nephew, of course his anger will be laid on me and my family."
"Ah, is that so...?" Bu Song plopped down on the bench with a limp body. Of course he didn't want that to happen.
"If Hiante likes to fulfill Suma-ongya's invitations and orders, it means that you have repeated your noble deeds and have helped our family, because more or less your acceptance there gave me a bright face. For that, I thank you very much in advance!" After saying that, Ciu Tang knelt in front of the young man.
Bu Song quickly and busily picked up the host and he said, "Please Uncle don't act like this. All right, I will go to Suma-ongya right now and let Uncle accompany me."
"Of course! Of course I'll take you! Wait for me to change clothes, and you must also wear the neatest clothes, Hiante." Like a child receiving a gift, Ciu Tang ran into the friendly with a very happy face.
Bu Song took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and opened the package to change into his clean clothes. Not long after, the two of them left for Prince Suma Kong's palace. Along the way, Ciu Tang raised her chest high and every time an acquaintance asked, she answered in a loud voice, "Go take my nephew who was accepted to be Suma-ongya's helper!"
Mrs. Song, who can see and recognize human nature from the lessons in her books, only smiles and secretly feels sorry for this good person with a weak character. However, he was amazed when he was received by the guard and led into the hall of the magnificent palace.
All the furniture is beautiful and luxurious, also shiny clean. Hanging on the walls were extraordinary paintings, decorated with extraordinarily beautiful writings. What a joke, thought Bu Song. He still vaguely remembered that even when he was little his father's house was a large building, but it wasn't as grand as this. This palace is full of art objects that thrill the hearts of every writer who loves such beautiful works.

They were told to wait in the front room, which is the living room. According to the guards, the Prince still hasn't woken up from his slumber! However, the guard seemed to understand that they were the people invited by the Prince, so soon a servant came out carrying hot fragrant tea!
Bu Song could not stay still on the bench. He looked around admiring and reading the couple's poems that decorated the walls, also occasionally looking outside to admire the beauty of the flower garden that surrounded the palace. Far to the side, a little back, through a moon-shaped door,he could see a fish pond with a tall fountain. The water broke above and because the morning sun had started to shine, it appeared that the water had become as colorful as a rainbow. Unbelieveable!
Suddenly they were startled by a step outside and it turned out that he was a young man who was dressed beautifully and had a handsome face, over twenty years old. She was also dressed like a writer, but as soon as she met her eyes, Bu Song had an unpleasant impression in her heart. At the sight of those eyes, and the shape of that nose, imagining something that is not good. He didn't know who this richly dressed young man was, so he just sat quietly.
Not so with Ciu Tang. Seeing this young man, he immediately stood up to welcome forward. As soon as the young man entered the room, he immediately stretched deeply so that his body was folded in half, his mouth said respectfully, "Suma-kongcu, good morning! Hope kongcu is always in good health and happy!"
The young man stopped and returned the exaggerated salute with a nod of his head. "Ah,aren't you Uncle Ciu Tang who opened a pawnshop near the Liok-an inn? What's going on here so early in the morning, and who is this Brother?"
Even though his words were friendly, they contained a high level of heart. Ciu Tang looked and winked at Bu Song, motioned for the young man to get up and then introduced, "Look, Kongcu. This servant's niece, Liu Bu Song, is taking the exam and seems to have caught Suma-ongya's attention, so now she is summoned to appear."
Bu Song was forced to lifthands and salute as appropriate. The young man only nodded, but his eyes looked at Bu Song with concern. He saw that the simple young man was tall and had a strong image of strength, but his demeanor was simple and natural, not at all displaying the arrogant attitude of a scholar, nor imagining the sycophantic attitude of people like Ciu Tang. Secretly the prince's son is interested and happy. He despised the sight of haughty youths, but even more loathed the sight of those who were sycophants.
This young man is the son of Prince Suma Kong, his name is Suma Boan. He was not an unknown young man, perhaps more famous than his father. Apart from liking socializing with people, this young man is also known to be good at martial arts. His passion is studying martial arts and God knows how many teacherssilat who once taught him and also once knocked him down. Every time he heard that there was a new silat teacher, he would come to him and ask him to be pibu. If he loses, he gives lots of gifts and asks to be taught the science that has defeated him, but if the martial arts teacher loses, don't expect the martial arts teacher to be able to open his school.
His characterfriendly and sociable, but unfortunately, this noble young man is also an eyea basket that likes to annoy beautiful women relying on their position and intelligence. Lately his intelligence has increased rapidly. He found a really great teacher, the Pouw-kai-ong we all know! The King of Beggars she Pouw became Suma Boan's teacher so that this aristocratic young man had high martial arts knowledge and even in the world of kang-ouw he was nicknamed Lui-kong-sian (God of thunder), a nickname given by people to honor him with the intention of fawning!
"Brother Liu, have you not only been good at buns, have you also studied martial arts?" in the manner of an old acquaintance Suma Boan asked, his eyes darting.
Bu Song shook her head. "Never, Kongcu. An educated person who knows that the use of violence is not good, why learn martial? I never studied it."
