Book 1 ,Proloque
The black mountain, stone mountain shaped odd and colour in black, flower and
grass growing in between the two stones are black too.
Everything was black,all are dark,even the atmosphere grew dark and cold ....
The mountain was not high, but the atmosphere here makes the neck-hair stand and
creeps with a heart beat .....
Pine trees that lined six in the bud mountain is also black, is there a sixth pine
branch stuck branches that span like six giant hand about to pounce prey.
The weather was damp, overcast clouds floating low and thick.
At this time autumn, the wind blowing hard, voices like people crying,
it's voice adds to it's mysterious surroundings.
Suddenly blood clot spurt from behind the black stone there, wind blown that spurt
and spilling into everywhere, a large high man by stagger step like a drunken man
rotates continuously and falling bounced twice, his head shell was already crushed,
blood and brain mixed melted out, the situation is looks horrific.
"Wut", the shadowy figure soared upward like a big pole that was launched into the
air with a loud pounding the wall mount, then also bounced back, hit the rocks black
rocks behind it's voice "pletak" from broken bones sounds obvious until far away,
Black mountain stone cold and mossy now covered with blood fluid,
Quickly that stone mountain has absorbed it,make the color become more hideously
black.
Mountain wind like a raging wind that the sixth pine at the top of the mountain
danced louder like an angry giant, more horrific and terrible, the atmosphere
became tense nature of the mountains.
Behind the rocks big rocks there, in the middle of a field that is not so wide,
seven black-robed men, all aged middle-aged,their faces stiff cold and cruel, they
stand half-round, their eyeball glared and emits cold light,
is like the beasts over the target prey,that is a shadow man in the light yellow.
This guy was standing right in the middle of the circle, yellow-colored loose robe
fluttering in the wind,
His pupils clear bright and light emitting ,sharp nose, thick lips red like chili,
color yellow robe worn looks very harmonious, calm and steady, this yellow swans
such as light emitting grandeur, based on his skin white smooth with a gallant and
courageous attitude.
The eight men stood face to face and eye to eye, while there is no movement,
two men who had perished earlier such has nothing to do with them.
Slowly the black-clad man standing far left began to move slightly,
the young man in yellow robes with a smile that seemed to such relaxed, both
long arms folded across his chest,
that men in black looks very frightened,the rough skin on their faces looked tense
,sweaty and rather pale.
Single eye man in black on the right looks glared so big ,with his nose voice
sniffed once, then man in black in the left immediately with gritted teeth,like a
bolt of lightning, he quickly jumped forward, the shadow of the palms of the hand
into the air like a net tightly, lightly and quickly lunged toward the yellow robes
youth.
Along with the man movement in the left ,the six others men lunge forward in unison
,each one with different attack,as stormiest wind palms or blows immediately, black
silhouette snapped grabbing each other.
The event just an instant, at the blink of an eye wink,
it looks a shadow person as a loss balance body ,like a piece of stone thrown into
the air, like the two men who preceded earlier,without the slightest powered
,sliding fall to tapered grinding stone mountain.
"Bluk", it's voice piercing the ear, the state of calm quickly returned to normal
once, in a half-ring around the yellow robe youth, only number of herds of black men
now live six people.
Does not seem the slightest feeling of change in the face of the young man in yellow
robes,calm and steady, calm as a pond surface water, even the end of the world
do not make it nervous and worried.
Both parties quiet in a long silence,suddenly men shadow brewed each other back and
flashed interplay,and looks like a man shadow thrown away by almighty power and
slammed down aloud, quickly the quiet once things got back to its original position,
is certainly men in black who stood half-ring is now only five remain.
The possible black-man leader is the single middle-aged man's eyes,
gaunt face looked thin, protruding cheekbones, sparse eyebrows, every time he
grinned, two fangs protruding out,his single eye is increasingly glaring, white eyes
already red-hot,
The face expressions of his four friends, tense and frightened, but desperate, their
face was soaked through by sweat, their eyes begin to show their hearts shakiness
that is not peaceful again.
The single eye man sweeping glances toward his friends, if the game continued with
the previous method, so now comes the turn of the number one calculated from there
which should act first,
the man in middle aged,stocky stature, beards, but these burly man seem to bite
lips,saliva swallowed up and down his neck, his eyes radiate
anxiety and fear.
Indeed, for a normal man who know the soul endowed by the father-mother would
disappear in an instant, then no matter how big his heart will surely find it hard
to leave this life.
The yellow robe young man looked at his calm ,upward his corners mouth like a laugh
but do not laugh, he took a deep breath, light eyes immediately turned cold
brilliantly cruel,This cruel cold eyes glared precisely at beard man cynically.
Beard man growled suddenly furious, he suddenly jumped forward,
spinning and swerving several times, with the odd movements and funny way he
pounce.
The young man yellow robe laughed,fast he moves, when his fourth enemy
others joined in unison to attack and had not yet reached a position that could hurt
him,in the midst of the shadow of enemy hands dancing up and down, his both
palms as sharp cleaver has cutted with fast motion that difficult to be followed by
the naked eye, at the end the beard man screamed in horror,as his friends who
preceded him, his body high recoils, in a moment that,the enemy palms accurately had
nested sixteen times in his body,but only he knows,he also can not tell his
suffering to anyone as well.
Back to normal position,the remaining four men's in black is not possible
to locked with a circular opponent again, now they stood into one row, the whole
body sweat until their black clothes attached tightly on the body,their breath
snorting them combined tension ,let out their feelings started to panic, fear and
despair, death and life soon will determine their fate.
With a calm and beautiful movement the young yellow man shook his sleeve ,yellow hue
of his robe displays clean and pure, he looked up at the sky, his attitude is like a
schoolboy who gentle and friendly, as he was enjoying the beautiful panorama.
That's when he looked up, flashed light sheen, a shadow man suddenly bumped into
him, at the same time three shadows men from three different directions
simultaneously also attacked three direction which may be possible to dodge away.
But the young man did not move, did not flinch, almost hard to see by the naked eye,
his hands moving, dazzling movement, because this movement was so bizarre and
unbelievable, so cruel and vile,
at the same time the enemy arrived and collided with a bounce hit hard,his hand
moves with great power.
This young yellow was still excessive for the attack, also to the arrived three
enemies from three directions.
Two shadows with four palms clashed with each other, amid clashes that instant,
matters worse, a man collapse on his back, woe to his friend that his Lwekang(power)
not as strong as he was, had he realized the situation was not favorable, the young
man's right hand dagger-sharp arrived and cutting his neck, just lightly movement,
but the result really fatal,his skull-head flying away recoils somewhere.
The action happens in a flash and end up in a glance anyway,
The yellow robe young man's hand holding ,looks with fixed head up,
with inhaled breath seemed natural light as since he was just enjoying the panorama
and was never bothered by any and everyone.
Only God knows,in that instant motion,two souls have drifted taken by death.
Now only two more, both of them stood up tacking like a statue,
their eyes were dim glow like light spot that has begun to fade,the rest of the
light is almost extinguished,how great was the fear,revenge and hate their hearts.
Cold and tasteless view of the yellow robe young man watched the two men in front
of him,his face does not show a sense of satisfaction and pleasure because of
winning, no sense fortunate,his attitude that feels more like a boon indeed deserve
the victory of the end of a battle.
Both the black men have an instant eye contact,
the single eye man glared fierce and savage before ,now very low in guts,
The left one friend who lived is high fat and big boned,This giant man's face very
ugly,his face full of meat hanging as sheet over his face,under his chin there is a
large black mole, this mole end is growing three coarse hairs that sway shaking,
because so ugly face ,it's not obvious how great his expression changes,
by three of motion this hairs ,it can be seen that giant man is starting to falter
his courage.
Since the beginning until this moment the yellow robe young man had never spoken a
little too ,but the eyes and his face displays his Kungfu as a mighty supreme ,
As he was sure the end of the heavy fighting,His attitude and charisma that haunted
displays also a force unchallenged by anyone.
Hardly be felt by anyone,slowly and very slowly,
eventually, the two men's black shirt quietly step back backward.
This is an automatic movement from fear,never imagined in their minds that their
ordinary life with all their glory for this,now everything will gone away.
The yellow robe young man looked away there, he calmly looked at the sixth
bristlecone pine in the back of the all black, spruce branches
still moving up and down like it was dancing in the breeze, clouds
moves in space adds to the atmosphere becomes more and more hideous.
Slowly the yellow robe youth sigh,
suddenly he cried out and reverberated like a distant voices coming from all place:
"Nay-ho san is really quiet, lush and creepy!"
Silently both black men shudder,
without realizing they are an instant eye contact each other,
Slowly the yellow robe turned back, his eyes looking far down the dark mountain
there and muttering anyway:
"Life on earth is continuously rotating,there is life there is also death,
day and night changed everday,unceasing exchange,nothing in this earthly life is
eternal,
Time for growing flowers and for withered, man is born and will grow old,
seasons change,day change to night, the day's events certainly differ from tomorrow,
the flowers will wilt and fall, although eventually bloom again, but it was not the
original flower. Similarly man, once he died,forever he will not return to its
original state despite the incarnation
and now .........
His eyes clear and sharp toward both black men.
"Today is going ahead, it will never be repeated again,
dusk is beautiful like a picture in a poem that depicts a late nan immortal,
when a man died in this twilight,he will bring a reverent memories, new and
calm. "
It was pitiful, in circumstances such as this is certainly both black men
no interest in listening to young man poems, unconsciously they step back backwards,
their three eyeballs do not dare blink looked at the young man.
Laughing tasteless young yellow robe and said again:
"The name of this mountain is not good,he called Nay-ho ("what can make"), you must
also know, in hell there is also a bridge called Nay-ho-kio? "
Up and down the seed neck of the single eye man,
after groaned angrily,he said hoarsely:
"Siang Cin, you are very cruel ...."
"No," teaching young men in yellow robes,
"I'm not cruel, humans live in this world can not always overwhelmed with distress,
when life is too pressing anguish, better to forget,
is certainly not easy to forget the pain of sorrow,
but I had a best way,if you can not forget revenge today, even this an inner
anguish,I'll use it the best way to eliminate your suffering, the attitude and
actions is not very wise, hm?"
The fat man suddenly slams his feet, he growled angrily ,shouted:
"Koko (big brother),Anyway what are we waiting for? Are you worried after we die no
one will revenge for our dead ? "
"There is," said the youth yellow robe "When your fate are lucky, you will not
die in vain here. "
The single eye man bulging his eyes wildly,his breathing becomes more rapidly,
the yellow robe youth uphold his brow,suddenly he flashed forward, since the
fighting began earlier,this is the first time he acted first to attack the enemy.
Flashed like a light yellow color and, as the one eye and the fat guy startled
,suddenly a shadow man already in front of them,
Immediately they both jumped to the left and right, their four hands simultaneously
slashing skewed, but they attack the empty places, such as attacking a mere shadow,
not yet they had time to pull out and replace their attacks, suddenly fat guy,
squealed loudly like a cow slashed his neck, his mouth spitting fresh blood ,he
staggered and fell down.
The heart of the single eye man froze to hear the cries of the fat guy ,at the near
end of his life.
Without pay much attention to him, speedily his hands poking, kicking both legs
following in sequence.
But unfortunately,in a strange movement, yellow robes youth have arrested his two
legs instead, such as a weight thrower athlete, the body of one eye rotated once, as
revealing revenge, he threw his body very hard. The struggling single eye in the
middle of the air, as wanted to break away from the power that will be hard glide
claimed his soul.
But he failed, when his hands and legs struggle in the air, the time has made
remorse and revenge are timeless, his back crushing hard and hit the black walls,
the collision thrust it makes body bounce back into the opposite direction as far as
seven feet.
Calmly the yellow robe witnessed the horror scene, a moment he was silent,
then slowly approached the single eye struggled to breath ,waiting to die,
the front of the eye at a glance look funny and odd,
wrinkle-like facial skin dried animal skins that do not resemble a human face again,
his mouth wide open, two fangs sticking out,
sparse brows look shaky following the snorting breath stay one two,
Blood smeared his face as wide,blood stained all over his body,
eye ball as almost out of it's place ,glared to the yellow robe youth.
Calm the yellow robe stare at him,he said calmly:
"Ko Kuh, if you're suffering, then the suffering will soon be over."
Creaked the esophagus of the single eye,his eye ball reverse and graying,
with difficulty his mouth moved:
"Siang...... Siang Cin ...... ......
You. . . . . you deserve. . . . . . The be dubbed.....the wicked. "
The yellow robe, he named Siang Cin ,with tasteless overseeing Ko Kuh,
his voice was plain:
"The strong win the weak dead, it's the law of nature."
"Ko Kuh, perhaps there will come when I will be toppled somewhere,
indeed our conditions and circumstances are different, but the end will be the same,
sooner or later we will surely meet at Nay-kio-ho. "
Ko Kuh eyeball flipped, his eyes had faded, his body seemed to convulse, as hard he
shouted:
"Waiting ..... we Kian-pau-kiuliong. . . . . . . . entirely be expecting you."
That voice discordant ago still resonates in the wind, but the soul of the speaker
has been hovering after tremble strongly several times.
Siang Cin stretch out, his eyes sweeping the treetops sixth giant black spruce and
muttering: "The season is almost falling out later, the weather began to
cold. . . . . . "-
Slowly he turned the body continues down the mountain, like a cloud of yellow,
floating lightly,float and fly as quickly disappeared.
Nay-ho-san towering sky remained standing as calmly wrapped mega giant deep sleep, a
state-lit, the atmosphere began to cool tense, as if not aware of the meaning of
life, he does not know life miserable and charitable man in this life struggle,
clear he just knows that everything that happens is "what can make".
