The Fragrant Wood Swordsman
pkh 14 part 4

He had been thinking about how Cui Im would be able to get out of that place without the help of Siang-bhok-kiam's sword as a key. But it turns out that the stone that covered the hole was cracked, presumably hit by a stone from above and of course when it came out of this place, Cui Im had dismantled the stones.

Looking at the many stones, Keng Hong could also imagine how difficult the work was. Sure, it took days! He silently smiled at how Cui Im painstakingly dismantled the rocks that were stockpiling the mouth of the tunnel, and just how unexpectedly hard work was now being used by Keng Hong who was able to get out without even working a bit!

After coming out of the hole and being on the slope of the sword stone, Keng Hong took a deep breath. The mountain breeze blew his face and he squinted his eyes from the sunlight. Heart's moved. It feels as if it is coming back to life!

For five years he was on the side of the sword, as if buried there. And for a year he felt trapped with no way out. Now he was on the slope of the sword rock!

Keng Hong raised a large stone, as big as a buffalo so that the hole was covered by a pile of large stones. Then he began to creep down with a heart full of excitement and with high spirits. The important task lay wide in front of him.

If there were no Cui Im to bother, of course now he has brought books and heirlooms to be returned to their respective owners. However, all these treasures have been seized by Cui Im, so the main and first task for him is to find Cui Im to take them back. The name of his temperature will still be polluted and will still be hostile to the world of kang-ouw before the objects are returned to those who are entitled.

But before searching for Cui Im he will go first to visit Kun-lun-pai to hand over the Thai-kek Sin-kun relic of the founder of Kun-lun-pai and apologize for all his past mistakes. He believed that Kun-lun-pai's side, especially Kiang Tojin, would be able to forgive him, and if he said no, he was not daunted because he believed that with his current level of intelligence, he was not afraid, he would be able to easily save himself!

Gleefully Keng Hong hummed, intoned his song of creation when he used to play the flute while sitting on the back of his shoulder, when he was still a lackey Kun-lun-pai.

Keng Hong thought that his descent from the sword stone would soon be blocked by the kang-ouw people who still remembered all his experiences five years ago. Indeed, the most bitter experiences are the most impressive mementos! He cheated and pondered how he would deal with those who had pursued him five years ago.

After he experienced bitter things with Cui Im, now he can see that compared to Cui Im, the kang-ouw figures are not so evil and greedy. Cui Im could do vile things only driven by his enormous lust. There are also kang-ouw figures who pursue it by having a basis that of course they each consider it true.

But when he got under the sword stone, the situation there was silent, there was no human. Even when he researched from this high place, looking down at the surrounding peak, there was no human shadow, it was silent. Ah, maybe now Kun-lun-pai has been on strict guard and banned all foreigners from coming to Kun-lun territory!

He descends the summit of Kiam-kok-san, then climbs to the highest peak of Kun-lun-san where the Kun-lun-pai headquarters are located. Along the silent road, there was no sight of tosu-tosu Kun-lun-pai guarding.

Suddenly he saw a pile of earth like a tomb, but there was no tombstone and instead there was a rough stone with writing, carved rough, bad and reads: HERE THIAN TI HWESIO DIED AT THE HANDS OF ANG-KIAM BU-TEK.

He's surprised. Thian Ti Hwesio was one of the Siauw-lim-pai characters whose books Sin-jiu Kiam-ong had stolen. Hwesio is a second-level hwesio from Siauw-lim-pai. Who is Ang-kiam Bu-tek (Red Sword Without a Banding)?

Suddenly Keng Hong's heart was pounding, his face was hot with anger when he remembered and strongly suspected that Ang-kiam Bu-tek was indeed the Ang-kiam Tok-sian-li Bhe Cui Im! Who else if not him? To be able to kill people like Thian Ti Hwesio must have high intelligence and he knows that the level of Cui Im now is very great.

And that nickname! Ang-kiam (Red Sword) was the girl's sword, and presumably she now discarded the nickname Tok-sian-li (Goddess of Poison) and replaced it as Bu-tek (Without Tanding). Indeed, in his current level, Cui Im no longer needs the help of poison to face the opponent. Each blow by itself is already a very powerful poisonous hand, because the girl had mixed the knowledge she had learned from her teacher's books with the knowledge she had received from Lam-hai Sin-ni, of course, the science of the cult of the heretics.

"Cui Im, I will beat you up if you really did the killing!" grunts in the heart.

He walked on and in the forest he saw a large tree with a part of its bark open and on the white wood there were also carvings of rough bad letters: HERE KIU-BWE TOANIO DEFEATED ANG-KIAM BU-TEK.

Keng Hong shook his head. Not wrong again, all of this is certainly the work of Cui Im. The engraving of the letters was so delicate, that only a swordsman could do, he said, there is also the shape of the letters itself is very bad that only shows the writing of a half-illiterate like Cui Im.
