Chapter 74 the shadow laughed and attacked the twelve tall men in a frenzy.

"Phang-ciangkun, this letter is a letter of challenge from a great enemy of mine. I am forced to leave Ciangkun for a while to serve him!"
Commander Phang furrowed his thick brows. As a commander who knows a lot of war tactics, he is suspicious. "Sorry, Taisu. If Taisu doesn't join us and if he isn't in the arena of war against the enemies of the Khitan people who are known to be cunning and fraudulent, it seems that a challenge for Taisu is only natural in the world of martial arts. However, in the current situation, wefeel suspicious. Could it be that they are using tactics to lure the dragon out of the lair, on the one hand they are using smart people to surround Taisu, on the other hand they are planning to use Taisu's absence to launch a massive raid!"
Kim Mo Taisu nodded. "Ciangkun's suspicions are very true, and that seems to be the case. But this enemy of mine was not an enemy of the state at all, in fact he had always been an enemy of the Khitans too. For some reason this time he seized the flag, presumably just to show off his intelligence and frighten the children." I'm just a child. After all, I've been looking for him all this time, so I have to accept his challenge. Don't worry Ciangkun. I'm challenged to come to the top where he's waiting. From the top I can see the state of the line here and every time Ciangkun If you need my strength, can Ciangkun release a fiery arrow into the air. If there is that sign, it means I have to come, and I will definitely leave personal matters behind and come back here as soon as possible! Because, If the Khitans were to deploy their ranks to attack them, it would depend on the expertise of the four Ciangkun to line up the ranks. My job is only to deal with people like those who came here last night. Isn't that right? Well, now I'm going!" Kim-mo Taisu jutted, then flashed and disappeared from there. All that was visible was his shadow.flashed so fast, sometimes even over the heads of a group of soldiers standing blocking the way out!
Everyone was amazed and for a while they looked towards the peak of the mountain where it wasnot far from the campsite. How amazed they were when before long they saw Kim-mo Taisu's tiny shadow running up the peak!
"The peak is not that far away, it's easy for us to invite him back or send troopscatch up if we need his strength," said Phang-ciangkun to his friends.
They then prepared to welcome the enemy. It was not too early for them to pack up and get ready because soon they heard the sound of footsteps mixed with cheers and the sound of trumpets and drums from the Khitans! Quickly Phang-ciangkun and three of his friends climbed to a high place to study the situation, then descended after enemies appeared from the front and from the left.
Phang-ciangkun used to serve as an aide to General Kam Si Ek who was very clever, and he also had a lot of experience dealing with Khitan troops so that he was familiar with the tactics of Khitan lines that relied on force or guerrilla warfare tactics. So Phang-ciangkun did not only pay attention to the north and west (front and left), but also paid attention and guarded other directions to prevent and break dark attacks.
********************
With his fast running knowledge, Kim-mo Taisu climbed to the top of MtTai-hangsan. When they reached the top slope, they saw the sun low in the east, round and big and red like a beautiful ball of fire. For a moment Kim-mo Taisu delayed his steps and looked in awe. Then he turned and looked down. It was seen that the huge array of Sung began to move and also looked very majestic and beautiful.
The march was like ants, separated and divided into five parts, each moving to the four directions and the fifth remaining in the middle. Rows of land, rows of horses, rows of arrows, rows of spears, and rows of long and short machetes are clearly visible from above because the rows are dressed

different uniforms. The flags fluttered and the sound of war greeting from belowvery rumble that only echoes from this high place, like a swarm of red wasps.
Far to the north, the Khitan troops could be seen, some were moving from behind the peak. Compared to the Sung ranks, the Khitan troops were insignificant and Kim-mo Taisu's heart was relieved. He had faith in the abilities of the commanders of the Sung army, in the courage of his soldiers.
With a relieved heart, Kim-mo Taisu continued his journey to the top. He did not feel the slightest doubt or timidity, even though he could suspect that Kong Lo Sengjin, who had a strange and deceitful character, might very well have brought helpers with him.
Suddenly he was surprised when from behind a tree appeared a man humming alone, his right hand holding a black mouw-pit (quill), his left hand holding a mouw-pitwhite. Presumably he didn't appear to block him, for he backed away, looked up at the great tree trunk, stepped forward again and his left hand moved forward.
"Rett!" white mouw-pit hasmake short strokes on a piece of white paper stretched across a tree trunk. Then he backed up again for more than three meters. His eyes narrowed, staring ahead, his headsideways, then he advanced again moving the black mouw-pit in his right hand.
"Rett!" then he back again. His mouth, which had been humming with no idea what it meant, was now singing, his voice hoarse and the sound of the singing was unpleasant to hear.
So if the devil has a golden heart, he's not evil! Let the king, if he has the character of a wolf, he is more than the devil!
Let the wolves, if there are many and rely on mobs, even a tiger can experience disaster!
That's why it's better to run away!
Kim-mo Taisu, who was facing important business, didn't want to delay his trip. However hearing this singing, especially the first and second lines of the sentence, he became interested. He was nicknamed Kim-mo Taisu. Grandmaster Demon Heart of Gold! Meanwhile, Kong Lo Sengjin is Sin-jiu Couw Pa Ong, a viceroy! It was clear that the rhyme sung was not just a coincidence. Moreover, it was mentioned about the wolves that were about to gang up, so the tiger had better go far away.
Look no further! The strange man sings with words warning him not to accept the Couw Pa Ong challenge that will gang up on him! When Kim-mo Taisu got closer, he saw that a man who was over fifty years old, rather short and had wide eyes was painting. He looked at the paper stretched out and stuck to the tree trunk and... Kim-mo Taisu almost cried out in awe.
He himself is a writer, of course he knows the art of painting, even more or less good at painting. Isn't writing letters the same as painting too? What he saw on paper was truly an amazing painting. The streaks are very strong, strong and alive. The picture depicts four wolves fighting over a tiger. Even though the painting is only black and white, it is very alive.
The eyes of the four wolves seemed alive and gleamed with cunning and deceit as well as savagery. Their mouths looked as if they were alive, emitting a fishy vapor, dripping with saliva, protruding tongues, sharp teeth full of threats. Also, the tiger is very beautiful, imagining valor and courage, but it's a bad situation to be attacked by four wild wolves and fighting in such a dirty way, always aiming at the tiger's hind legs.
"Your paintings are beautiful, my friend!" Kim-mo Taisu praised.
The person looked surprised not to play. His two mouw-pits flew up and once his right hand moved he had already drawn a sword that shone brightly yellowish. Her body

jump back reverse the body and ready with the sword in front of the chest. When the pair of black and white mouw-pits slid down, without taking their eyes off Kim-mo Taisu, he moved his left hand forward with his left hand and suddenly the two mouw-pits were sandwiched between his left hands!
They look at each other. Kim-mo Taisu understood that this strange painter also had high intelligence, so he was even more amazed and quickly raised his hands to his chest, saluted and stood up.
"Forgive me if I disturb you who are having fun painting. However, seeing this magnificent painting and hearing your singing, I can't just pass it up. Kim-mo Taisu is not someone who is ignorant of other people's good intentions. , also not blind to such amazing skill in painting!"
Suddenly the man laughed and his face turned very funny. Especially when he put up the stance earlier, his hips swayed like someone was doing gogo! Quickly he put away his sword, then saluted back while pecuca-cucucu (moving a sharp mouth).
"Wow-wah-wah! I'm the one who deserves to be slapped! I'm the one who deserves to apologize because like a blind person I can't see the rising of the morning sun, which is so beautiful, ruling the sky! Don't know Kim-mo Taisuwho is famous as a powerful warrior, especially good manners. Sorry, sorry!" He saluted again then said, "I'm the stupid one called Gan Siang Kok, but the little kids who like to see my pictures call me Gan-lopek. Heh-heh-heh, indeed I am old, of course I like to be called lopek (old uncle)! Just pretending to be young, hair and teeth that are already gray are incomplete, Heh-heh, the heart is still young, but the hair and teeth are undeniably old. Ha ha ha!"
Kim Mo Taisu smiled. This person although strange, his character is open and has a broad outlook andalways happy. Presumably looking at the world with an open heart and from an angle that contains humor.
Indeed, if one is alert and has an open heart, in this world there are many things that make one's heart amused, such as seeing clowns perform on stage. Seeing how in everyday human life, humans are always subject to falsehoods which are called common habits! Mistakes and deviations that are not considered wrong anymore because many people, indeed everyone does it!
Fakewhich are sometimes called politeness, called common practice, called rules and evencalled the law! How funny it is that humans who are covered in all that is good allow themselves to act like clowns under the guise of fakes! Of course this will not be visible to human fellow clowns. Only people who are aware will be able to become spectators. People who are still drunk and not aware, drunk on worldly things, will be dragged into playing on the stage to become clowns, and even compete with each other to win the funniest clown championship!
"In that case, even though our age gap isn't that great, the younger me will call you Galopek too."
"Heh-heh-heh, that's the best. It's a great honor to have a nephewhaving the character of a priest and the body of a warrior who must be called Taisu (grand teacher) by his old uncle. Ha ha!"
"Gan-lopek, please stop messing around. There's no need for you to pretend anymore that what you're singing and what you're painting just happens to concern me. Thank you for your warning that up there awaits my enemies, who are many in number. ganged up on me. But it seems you forgot that a tiger never knows fear. Well, I'm not afraid either because I'm armed with the truth. Thank you again and goodbye, Gan-lopek!" After saluting again, Kim-mo Taisu continued on his way.
Gan-lopek continued his doodles, his mouth grumbling, "Look for death..., look for death...!"
When Kim-mo Taisu looked up later, he saw how the strange and funny Gan-lopek had scribbled on his drawing so that the beautiful picture had turned all black, like a man.

children who emerge and deliberately damage the painting to vent their disappointment and frustration. Kim-mo Taisu smiled, shrugged his shoulders, then continued on his way up to the top.
On top of that Tai-hang-san peakthere are parts that are flat and overgrown with green grass. The place is quite wide and the view from the top down is very beautiful. Kim-mo Taisu looked down and lookedwhat a sight because now the 'ants' under it have started to fight!
Suddenly from behind the trees around the field appeared four people who moved quickly toward him. At first he knew Kong Lo Sengjin who 'walked' on his two sticks. However, what a surprise, astonishment and joy when he saw that the second person was Ban-pi Lo-cia! Without him looking for it now his big enemies have gathered so it's easy for him to quickly settle the old calculations!
The basic character of a warrior, Kim-mo Taisu only remembered the advantage of this encounter, completely not remembering that Kong Lo Sengjin and Ban-pi Lo-cia together were an incredibly tough opponent, not to mention the two people behind him. they. The two people were also not just anyone, because one was Pouw-kai-ong, the evil and cunning King of Beggars, who had very strange intelligence. The second person is Lauw Kiat, a student of Ban-pi Lo-cia who of course has a high level of knowledge, and since the last time he ganged up on him, of course his knowledge has increased.
However, Kim-mo Taisu was not at all afraid. He had to admit that the union between Kong Lo Sengjin and Ban-pi Lo-cia was something he did not expect and indeed the two men plus Pouw-kai-ong and Lauw Kiat were very tough opponents, much tougher when he beaten by Ban-pi Lo-cia, Pouw-kai-ong, and Ma Thai Kun long ago. However, during these decades, his own knowledge has made rapid progress. Previously he was considered young, and now he has matured his knowledge of intelligence, while his two most clever opponents, Ban-pi Lo-cia and Kong Lo Sengjin, are too old now and therefore naturally have less strength.
"Hmm, who would have thought that Sin-jiu Couw Pa Ong who was once famous as a true patriot, a defender of the motherland and country to the point of sacrificing both of his legs, now crossed over to the enemy and was not ashamed in old age to turn himself into a traitor as low as possible because ally with the Khitans!” Kim-mo Taisu reprimanded him because his heart was pierced and he was furious to see his late wife's uncle allied with Ban-pi Lo-cia. "Cheating,using the Hui-to-pang people to kill one's own nephew and slandering others is normal, but betraying the country is a lowly crime, one that will incur an indelible stain for seven generations!"
Kong Lo Sengjin was angry when he heard this. He was so angry that his face turned pale, his eyebrows stood up and his messy hair suddenly seemed to stiffen. He took a big step with his cane to approach Kim-mo Taisu and cursed loudly. "Shut up! Kwee Seng, what do you kid know about struggle? When you weren't born I already fought to defend the country. Now you dare to lecture me about struggle? Fucker!"
Kim-mo Taisu smiled mockingly. "It's precisely because you're too old that you become senile. It's appropriate that people are judged by their most recent actions. A thousand good deeds will be erased by a bad deed. A thousand bad deeds can be washed away by a last good deed. Kong Lo Sengjin, you are already old, approaching death, why don't you prepare good provisions instead of accumulating sins and uncleanness? Why don't you seek the bright way instead of getting lost in darkness? Why does a patriot turn into a traitor?"
"Hell devil!" Kong Lo Sengjin was getting angry. "I have sacrificed my entire family for the country, even my two feet! I did order to kill your wife to raise your spirits so that you will follow in my footsteps! You, who have just sacrificed your wife, are already making a fuss and want to get back at me. Don't think I'm afraid. Now you are accusing me of something that is not- no. You little boy know what? Since the Tang Empire fell, for half a century our people were oppressed by tyrants. At first they were good, but in the end it was the same. This situation must end and only the glorious Khitan nation will be able to help change the situation. With the help of the Khitans, I will establish

return to the glorious Tang Empire! You, Kim-mo Taisu, if you will help us, my friends and I will forget all the past affairs between us, and let's rebuildThe Tang Empire with the help of Khitan friends. Someday you will become the viceroy, because you are still counted as my nephew's son-in-law!"
Kim-mo Taisu looked wide-eyed, then asked, his voice slowly and softly, "And you...you became the emperor?"
"Who else? I am the last viceroy of the Tang Empire!" replied Kong Lo Sengjin while puffing out his chest.
“Woe,” thought Kim-mo Taisu. This grandpa has gone mad! Become the Emperor of the Tang Empire built with the help of the Khitans? It's the same as getting a line of wolves into the house. If the Khitans were successful, they would hand over power to Kong Lo Sengjin? To a crippled grandfather? Imagining how the kingdom was ruled by a crippled emperor, Kim-mo Taisu was amused and he couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud.
"Ha-ha-ha! Kong Lo Sengjin, I think you've gone mad! You don't have to daydream about nonsense because right now you have to make up for my wife's death with your life! As for your friends, especially Ban-pi Lo- cia, also will not let go of my hands because he has to make up for the death of my wife's sister. Kong Lo Sengjin, did you know that Gin Lin's twin sister named Khu Kim Lin died because of the cruelty and barbarity of this Khitan human?"
"Shut up! Personal matters are not important, what matters is state matters!" Kong Lo Sengjin had become very angry and lunged at Kim-mo Taisu with his two sticks which were moving alternately violently. Of course this grandfather who changed his temper didn't care how much his nephew died because of Ban-pi Lo-cia, because he himself had the heart to order his nephew, Kim-mo Taisu's wife, to be killed just for the sake of his ideals.
Kim-mo Taisu, who was now ready to fight, quickly dodged it with a high jump to the right. When his feet touched the ground again, his right hand was holding a sword, his left hand was holding a fan. Indeed, ever since he made the decision to look for his arch enemies consisting of powerful people, and remembering his experience when he was attacked without holding a weapon. Kim-mo Taisu has prepared himself with a complete pair of weapons, namely a sword and a fan.
As soon as his opponent pushed forward, Kim-mo Taisu simultaneously moved his sword and fan. The swordplay Pat-sian Kiam-hoat and his fan play Lo-hai San-hoat who are an amazing and great couple. No matter how powerful Kong Lo Sengjin was, that old man immediately staggered backwards when facing the attack of this pair of strange weapons that issued a powerful wind blow.
But at that moment, Ban-pi Lo-cia had already lunged forward with her black whiplaughing "Ha-ha-ha, Kim-mo Taisu, this time you won't be able to escape my whip!"
How shocked was this giant Khitan grandfather when the tip of his whip grabbed and was close to the opponent's body, but the tip of the whip bounced back as if an extraordinary force was repelling it. Presumably the pounding of the fan in Kim-mo Taisu's left hand has succeeded in pushing back the tip of the whip. From this movement alone one can imagine how great Kim-mo Taisu's singang energy was and Ban-pi Lo-cia was secretly worried. He understands that during these dozens of years, Kim-mo Taisu has made tremendous progress and in terms of internal strength alone he can no longer match his opponent! Even so, this giant grandfather was not afraid, especially at that moment, Pouw-kai-ong and Lauw Kiat had already rushed forward to help.
What is great and unexpected by Kim-mo Taisu is Pouw-kai-ong. As soon as this Beggar King moved using a beggar's staff, there was a howling wind and his attacks were extremely dangerous. May the Beggar King who is the same age as him also make great progress. Only Ban-pi Lo-cia's disciple Lauw Kiat was the weakest opponent among these four people. However

Their beating was quite dangerous and made Kim-mo Taisu have to be mobilizedall his strength and all his intelligence.
Matchgoing great. Even though he was locked up and not given a chance by his four mobsters, Kim-mo Taisu sometimes used the opportunity toglancing down at the peak, to see if he was needed by the commander of the Sung army.
Below the peak there was also a great battle between the Khitan troops and the Sung army. There was massive human slaughter by both parties. Slaughter and cruel killing without personal reasons, only to fulfill the wishes of a few people who want to seehis dream come true! Killing, the losers collapse and must die, the victors laugh and live. It's as if the victors forget that they also only win temporarily, win for a short time, because death will surely come to take their lives to overtake the lives of those who lose!
Swords and machetes that are indeed bloodthirsty, piercing and chopping the bodies of the defeated opponents, are happy to torture the losers. It is as if they have forgotten that before death takes their lives, there will come a time when they will experience joy and suffering before they die, perhaps far more terrible and more miserable than the suffering of those who were torn apart in war. Forgetthat the torment in the form of sickness before death is sometimes very terrible and miserable.
In pursuit of desires and passions, humans forget that nothing wins or loses in human life. The absolute and eternal victor is only God. Therefore happy are those who serve as God's servants, as God's soldiers armed with love, who only hope for peace and tranquility in the world, no war, no killing, no hate, no revenge. There is only mutual affection, being happy to see others having fun, being concerned and reaching out to help see others having a hard time.
If life between humans is like that, life between countries will certainly be like that too. No political clashes, no religious wars, no differences between nations, full of love, full of tolerance. Amboi, how nice it is to live in a world like that.
Kim-mo Taisu is truly a powerful warrior. His four opponents were extraordinary people, martial arts experts who had reached a high level. Even the two people, namely Kong Lo Sengjin and Ban-pi Lo-cia are two powerful people who are big figures in the world of martial arts. However, up to an hourthe more they fought, the four men still couldn't knock Kim-mo Taisu down.
However, it must be admitted that Kim-mo Taisu's situation is very dangerous. Besides the four of them being skilled, they, especially Ban-pi Lo-cia and Kong-lo Sengjin, competed with passion and determination. Presumably the two grandfathers understood that this time there had to be a final decision, risking their lives to win or lose. Life or death! Because of this recklessness, Kim-mo Taisu began to be pushed. Hehave not been able to injure one of the four attackers who can work together very well and neatly, protecting and looking after each other.
It seemed that Lauw Kiat was getting impatient. He whistled loudly and from deep in the forest on the top of the mountainTwelve big, tall Khitans appeared. They came with a fishing net. It was strange why a fishing net was carried by twelve people. Actually the net is not just any net, but a tool to catch the magic. This net is made of very strong material, which is not broken by the blows of a sharp weapon, and on the inside there are many hooks in the form of fishing rods so that once a person is caught in a net, no matter how powerful it is, it will be difficult for him to escape because the harder he isIf he moves rebelliously, more and more small hooks in the form of fishing rods will stick into his body!
"Help us catch him!" exclaimed Lauw Kiat in Khitan.
However, while the twelve men were preparing their nets and adjusting their position which was made difficult by the fast-moving competition, suddenly a shadow flashed. As soon as they arrived there, the shadow laughed and attacked the twelve tall men in a frenzy.
