The Fragrant Wood Swordsman
pkh 15 part 2

Actually Keng Hong intended to kill Lian Ci Tojin for his actions against Tan Hun Bwee first, but hearing this grandeur, he became unkind to Kiang Tojin and disengaged his intentions. The attitude of the two Kun-lun-pai figures was enough to break the heart of Kiang Tojin.

The tosu who had been allied with Lian Ci Tojin and Sian Ti Tojin became very frightened themselves and they immediately accepted with great reluctance when Kiang Tojin said that anyone who felt guilty was welcome to punish yourself in the room ‘sin washer’ and rooms ‘selfregret’. The tosu who felt guilty, nearly twenty in number, were, immediately flocked to go into the places specially held by Kun-lun-pai for the children of Kun-lun-pai disciples to regret their own lost deeds.

Secretly Keng Hong became excited and also amazed. It turned out that Kiang Tojin was still quite dignified and he remembered the tosu who was romantically playing with the lady of the hamlet on the mountain slope and he smiled to himself. Was it tosu's fault? Nah! Not wrong, only weak against the abstinence that is indeed held by their faction and that has been recognized by him himself! Guilty to violate the prohibition which he himself has admitted that the prohibition should not be violated.

"Keng Hong, your arrival is like a god awakening pinto from a nightmare. And your great love for Kun-lun-pai and for our Couwsu. It's useless when Thian used to move the pinto heart to bring you here, Keng Hong. Now tell me, how did you find the sanctuary of the late Couwsu, and how did all the treasures of your teacher get stolen by Ang-kiam Tok-sian-li who now became so shrewd and nicknamed Ang-kiam Bu-tek?"

Keng Hong who was now invited to sit in the room by Kiang Tojin who had become the leader of Kun-lun-pai, immediately told of his experience since he was chased and climbed to the top of the sword stone. Among all the humans in the world, only Kiang Tojin is the only kang-ouw figure who can be trusted and who has absolutely no ill intentions towards him, nor do they want the treasures and books of Sin-jiu Kiam-ong.

He told how finally he managed to get the secret storage place of his teacher's heirloom, but how forced he was to invite Cui Im because in addition to the girl had helped him, also if not he invited, he asked, of course the girl is threatened by her safety by the kang-ouw figures who pursue her. It was told next how much he was deceived by that Cui Im, trapped at the opposite end of the ravine, but finally Bui Im's abomination even makes him manage to find a secret place where there are skeletons and books of Thai Kek Couwsu!

Kiang Tojin stroked his long beard and took a deep breath. "Aaah, only four years of studying your temperature relics books, the girl was so good that I collapsed in her hands! And all the books he brought!"

"I feel very sorry, Totiang. All of that due to my negligence, is my fault and my responsibility. I have decided to search for Cui Im until I can, take away all the temperature books he has stolen, and I want to return all books and heirloom swords to the rightful."

"That's all right, Keng Hong. Your teacher Sie Cun Hong is not a bad person or based on a bad character. Not at all, he was a taiiap, a great warrior who, in addition to being good at all, was also always ready to oppose all evil and risk his soul to defend truth, justice and virtue. But he is of a strange character, not heeding the laws made by man, acting as if his own heart rests on the truth according to his judgment. Perhaps your teacher has helped thousands of people, has resisted thousands of evils, but because of his mischievous character, he likes beautiful women regardless of whether they are wives or girls, as long as he likes him, of course he will serve, then coupled with his fondness for heirlooms that are not reluctant and then stolen from the hands of others using his cleverness, then all his goodness was forgotten by the people and he was also hostile. Therefore, your stand to restore the heirlooms that were once stolen or deprived by your temperature, is a service to your teacher, washing the stains on his name. And you do not need to be curious about the fact that the heirlooms are stolen by people, because objects that are easily obtained will easily disappear too, objects obtained by stealing will certainly disappear, stolen, who planted the tree he picked the fruit."

Keng Hong nodded then said. "I know the character of the late temperature, Totiang, and I can't blame him either. Indeed, while still alive do not enjoy it, then what is the use of all the gifts that Thian gave to humans? Enjoying the pleasures of life is a human right, provided that the human can restrain himself, can control the passions that encourage him to enjoy worldly pleasures so that he does not get drunk, not to forget about virtue and to commit evil only for the gratification of lust. Satisfaction of lust done properly without harming others is a pleasure that becomes a gift Thian, why rejected? Sorry, Totiang, of course the establishment of a priest like Totiang will be another. It is only better to remember that temperature is not a priest, but an ordinary man."

Kiang Tojin furrowed his brows and let out a long sigh. "Pinto can't blame anyone. There's good there's bad, it's natural. There's a pleasure there's a hard, it's his twin brother who can't be separated. Those who are looking for pleasure will meet hard, it is indeed the risk and also it should be. Understanding is not enough. Therefore, you who are young will only be able to understand perfectly after being tempted by experience and it is your right to experience everything in this world. Only my message is Keng Hong, bitter experience is more valuable than sweet experience, and remember that regret then is completely useless. Remember that the truth that brings pleasure to your own heart is not necessarily the true truth. The truth that brings pleasure to the hearts of others is only closer to the true, You are free to move in life, and the teacher you can count on the most is the True Teacher who is within you personally."
