The Fragrant Wood Swordsman
pkh 10 part 2

"Alright, Locianpwe. But because Locianpwe is challenging, expect Locianpwe to answer my difficult questions first. If Locianpwe can not answer it means Locianpwe lost one number. We'll take into account each other, who gets the most numbers he wins."

"Rigger! Can answer got one number, can not answer cut one number. Ask your question, nice boy!"

"First question. What is the difference between the three lessons that Locianpwe mentioned earlier, which is about the sentences I mentioned. To be clear, what is the difference between these three sentences. The highest wisdom is like water! Sincere and truly devoted to virtue! The sewer runs the water where he likes it!"

"Heh-heh-heh, children's questions. Very simply, you better ask the others and the more difficult. Okay answer. All three are no different and all three contain advice that humans imitate the nature of water is very wise. Why is water called wise in the holy verses? First, because water is always moving naturally, it does not force something not to oppose something, according to the nature of nature, out of its source and then flow towards a low place, surrender yourself to all kinds of things that need it and make use of it, selflessly, and always put yourself in the lowest place. That's the essence of the lesson and all three use the nature of water as an example."

"To be precise, Locianpwe and let for this answer Locianpwe get the number one. Now the second question. What is the relationship between the three verses?"

The grandfather knitted his eyebrows. This question is very difficult because it does not contain the purpose of solving philosophy, more inclined to the question of puzzles. But he does not want to lose because if he cannot answer it means he lost the value of one number!

Indeed Keng Hong deliberately asked this question to solve the secret of Dayang-bhok-kiam. He understood that the three sentences on the sword were taken from the three parts of the verse To-tik-keng, Tiong-yong and Dharmapada, and that if in those sentences there were secrets of a philosophical nature, there was a secret, then of course it will be solved by a hunchback grandfather who turns out to be an expert in all kinds of religions. If this hunchback grandfather is not able to solve it, what else he who used to just memorize all the books, has not been able to explore the meaning of it very deep. If he has no deep hidden purpose, he will also be able to learn from the grandfather's answer.

"The connection is only the use of water as an example of advice. There is nothing to do with it except the equation that calls water. When forced to do so, there is nothing but water and indeed by water, the whole world is united and in view of water, nothing is separated, everything in the world is connected and in fact only one, like ocean water, though it is made up of water points, yet indistinguishable because it is a unity that makes no difference."

Keng Hong nodded, but in his heart he was confused. Presumably, when writing those words, his teacher meant AIR! But what does the water that the teacher wants to show? Water at the top of Kiam-kok-san? Whatdoes thatmean? Water always flows to low ground!

And at the top there was a small pond that held all the water that fell from the sky, both the rain and the water from the dew and from this pond, the water flowed down like a small river, only two feet wide, continuing down through the crevices of the rock.

"What a good answer, Locianpwe. Let me lose two grades. Now the third question. If someone wrote the three sentences together, with the intention to tell something secret, which is to show a secret place, what does it mean?"

Keng Hong smiled broadly, "Still not yet, Locianpwe. If I go crazy, I'll tell Locianpwe. I'm not crazy yet!"

"We argue about philosophy, but you always ask questions like buffalo herders playing puzzles! I'm not gonna answer if you're gonna play me old man!"

"Ahh, it's dead I'm not playing Locianpwe. My question is very important to me. Trust me, Locianpwe, just one more question. After that, I will ask Locianpwe about the philosophy that is very high and that is not necessarily answered by the gods even once, which is about death and life and its contents!"

"Good! Well, questions like that are what I should have heard! Let's quickly ask questions about death or life."

"Later Locianpwe. I asked Locianpwe to answer my question first. What does the person who strings the three sentences mean to indicate a secret place?"

The grandfather fumbled his chin, then scratched his bald patch. "Hemmm, you're stubborn. However, it seems that the person who leaves such a sign is a joking person, a person who feels lonely so that he sees water then arises thoughts that are not to play tricks on others. He meant flowing water. Perhaps the place he kept secret could be found if he followed the water that flowed down. And since there are no numbers in the sentence, it is possible that the numbers as the size of the place are taken from the numbers of the verses and part of the three holy verses. The highest wisdom, like water, is found in the eighth section of To-tik-keng. Sincere and truly devoted to virtue are the qualities of the key as advised in the book of Tiong-yong thirty-one verse two, there is also the last sewer to drain the water to where he likes to be found in the book of Dhammapada chapter six verse eighty. When the numbers are drawn in all three words, there are eight, thirty-one, two, six, and eighty. If added, it will be one hundred and twenty-seven. Perhaps that was the secret, the place following the flow of water, and the sum of its size was one hundred and twenty-seven!"

Keng Hong almost pranced around and danced again. That seems! No more interpretations and calculations. That's certainly what the late temperature meant. Day-bhok-kiam Secrets! Secret heirloom storage! The three lines secret sentence on that Fragrant Wood Sword.

"Thank you, Locianpwe. Locianpwe is so great to me!" After saying so, Keng Hong turned his body around about to leave the place.

"Ehh, ehh, then, young man! Seeokor buffalo tied his nose, but a man tied his mouth that has promised! You promised to ask questions about death or life. Hayo fulfill your promise first, then I'll answer the questions."
