Huang-ho River or yellow river water flow to Pohai sea, including north San-tung province. Dozens even hundreds of kingdom can change with time, milions human die and born, but The Yellow River keep flowing into the sea.

once upon a time, Tang kingdom that since the seventh century thrive and prosper, at the beginning of eight century started to change. corruption happen anywhere from the lowest of government official until the highes position making the Tang kingdom became weak. people is dying and chaos happen everywhere. another Kingdom, like Tibet which on good term with Tang Kingdom since few Hundred year ago now begin to eyeing the Tang Kingdom. The Tibets who already have strong body often show unfavorable act to Tang soldiers who guard at the boundary of the north.

all this happen because Tang Kindom already became a mess inside. their army prestige is weak, full of corupted official.

at that kind of time this stroy start.

at the border where Po-hai sea and Yelow river meet, no one can be seen there. because that place full of danger of wild beast and evertime a downpour come that place which looks like a green paradise became a raging sea.

but that time winter already pass. Yelow river valey have vertile soil and full of green grass. the scenery so beatiful and the distince sound of sea wave can be heard like a music that sooth the soul.

even thought at that place human rarely seen, but at that time a shadow can be seen standing on top of black rock. this man already old, his cloth full of patchs like a beggar, his hair long and ugly, his body tall but very thin like it doesnt have any meat. but when you see his face, you will feel like you face with someone mighty, womeone with great power like an emperor.

his age actualy only 45 years old, but he already looks very old because he never care about himself.

this man standing right while sometimes looking at the sea and sometimes looking at the yelow river. he spread his hand like wnat to hug some one and talk to himself.

"Huang-ho water came from rain, looking at the cloudy sky on top of the sea, isnt this what we called 'back to origin'? The nature is so big, so mighty and fair. it cannot even compare to the power of an empire. Nature always give not like a emperor who always take. Ah! brother Pin really is a fool , i will never folow his step. today he will became a minister, playing with status and luxury, he will never now what is the real happines. its better like me, playing with nature and became free of everything"

after he said that, this man then step down from that stone. that stone very slippery because its always hit by the sea wave and also beneath it full of sharp rocks. but that man easily walk there as if walking at flat ground, he doesnt look like pay any attention and just normaly walk.

after a while this man even started to sing, his voice so loud as if he want to sing together with the sea wave.

"if you pull your arrow

until wholy full

you will full of regrets

why you didnt stop at the right time.

if you sharpen your sword

to its fullest sharpnes

the sword will be easily broken.

if jewelery and gold fill you house

you will stress and bewildered to guard it

Brag about your trasure and position mean

you invited hatred and jealousy to yourself

take a ress after your duty finish

free yourself and became one with nature."

the song from that man actualy not a ordinary song, but a wise words from ancient time.

now that man already arrive at the beach, then he slowly walked to the sea.

he then standing while both his legs in horse riding position, both his hand in his waist while facing the sea.

he standing at the edge of coral reaf wainting for sea wave to come.

at time as if hearing his prayer, a big wave come crashing to that man and the coral reef. the big coral stone which have the size of a house swaying a little but that man while laughing keep standing as if that wave only a small breeze for him.

wave after wave come crashing at him, but not only this man afraid he even laugning even louder while standing. not long after the wave started to quite down.

"Hahahah Granpa Sea, isnt that wave from before using 'thousand mountains fist'? Hahahaha that fist for both us is like a punch from a child"after saying that, the man started to challenge the sea again.

"Granpa Sea, come and get me, use everything you have. i want to see if you can push me from this coral reef"

The sea wave come again and again. but after a dozens time it started to slow down and only small wave come. that man got bored after that. but when he want to go and turn his body, suddenly a shadow come crashing at him from the top of that big coral.

the man shocked a little but thanks to his ablity he receive that shadow calmly with both of his hand.

"Duanggggg!!!!"

while the shadow hand and that man hand meet, a loud sound can be heard and both of them taking a few step back to stabilisize their body.

"Hehehehehe Ang Bin Sin Kai (Red Face Beggar), even though granpa sea is strongbut he doesnt have a intelectual like us, how can he push us?"

that shadow now standing there, a middle age man with a round body (ex:fatass) standing infront from Red Face Beggar.

Red Face Beggar laughning while looking at the sky "at this place i can meet with Jeng Kin Jiu (Thousands Pon Hands). its really a happy encounter. a friend come from far away isnt it good news?" the last sentence is a wise word once said from ancient people. "Eh, Kok Thong Taisu, you from south coming here, what your purpose? is it to play in this place?"

"you smelly beggar, why should i come here to just play? i come here to have pointers with you"

Ang Bin Sin Kai or Red Face Beggar launghing "Baldy, so you want to try my fist! isnt it the reason?"

"Rooster from south meet with Rooster from north why still making noise?" after he said that Jeng Kin Jiu jump and spread his hand as if want to slam and catch a frog.

Ang Bin Sin Kai know even though this attack looks ordinary, but it hide great power. when he evade to the left the sand at the place he standing before got blown up and the coral around it even swaying. "your Water Piercer Punch really great Baldy" said Ang Bin Sin Kai while attacking his opponent with power no less than his.

Jen-Kin-Kiu Kak Thong Taisu is a big figure is the south. between martial arts expert, this Thousand Pon Hand said to be the strongest Martial Artis. people afraid and respectful him at the same time. because not only he have amazing martial art power he also have strange personality. because of that Jen-Kin-Kiu Kak Thong Taisu always live in seclusion.

he live in a small island at the south of Kwang-Tung Province and nobody dare come to this island. people can only saw this Taisu if he come to the mainland. his martial art already reach the peak of human, and he famous for Gwa-kang (Brute force or outside power) he already have unimaginable power that nobody can measure it, because of this he is called Jeng-Kin-Kiu (Thousand Pon Hands).

In contrast, the thin beggar was not a ordinary person either. no one knows his name, not even this Thong Taisu himself know the original name of this old beggar. And only the great figures like Thong Taisu knows that this beggar is of noble blood! He rarely showed his cleverness and if being in a crowded place, people just think of it as an ordinary beggar. Certainly no one who knows that even he called a beggar and his situation is like a beggar, but during his life he never been begging! Nickname Ang Sin-bin-kai or Red Face Beggar, because the skin of his face was always reddish like the skin of a healthy baby. In contrast to Jeng-jiu-kin who had been demonstrating Brute Force when pushing him, Ang Sin-bin-kai is an expert in Lweekang (Soft Force / inside force) who also demonstrated his strength when he welcomed waves of attacks earlier.

Thus, the battle which took place near the sea is a battle between a gwakang expert and a lweekang expert! For people who Martial arts knowledge level is still low, it is easy to say that the battle between the gwakang expert and the lweekang expert would be won by the lweekang experts. However, this is not the case if the gwakang expert already have perfect power. In essence, the source or basis of their power is the same, only Jeng-kin-jiu rely more on his muscle power, while Ang Sin-bin-kai rely on inside power.

their battle keep continue. Both leaping, attacking and mutually evade each other. Sometimes mutual parry make the two staggered. Several times they jumped by using perfect ginkang (martial art to make the body lighter) so as if they were two giant birds. Even Ang Sin-kai was thrown into the sea and forced to swim out of the way again and at another time the baldy was thrown crashed into a rock, but apparently his head is not broken, but the rock was crushed instead!

When they fought before, the sun is still above their heads, but now the sun has disappeared behind the mountain so the light has become dim. But their fighting still continued with their situation turns hectic and really balanced. from fighting that relies on the velocity to fight with slow motion, like practicing martial arts, but in facteven though the attacks were slow but it contains energy that sends the life of one presented to Giam-lo-ong (Angel of Death) if their hits conect.

even when the night come, the both of them still fighting ferociously. instead of tired, their face show happiness. after separate for years each of their ability already make some progress.

Raging wind, thick clouds covered the sky, so everything became complete darkness. Only Martial Arts Master can truly continue to battle in that condition. They can not see their opponent, because it is not possible to look ahead. Their own hand itself was not visible, let alone others. But with their well trained hearing, they can listen to the wind blow of their opponent strike!

in the middle of the night, both of them already exhausted. they already land a couple of bows to their opponent, but the blows were not too hard for their bodies that have developed resistance so that both can still survive. Finally, they cant fight against age, their bodies become increasingly weak and tired.

At the moment when their hands meet and using all their power to top their enemy, Suddenly in the dark, towering green light can be seen from the sea. Back greenish light appears to float to the sky and once reached the sky the light will dissapear.

"Ah, that's a sign when a ship is in danger!" Said Ang Sin-bin-kai.

"Right you noticed, is not in the midst of the sea was visible red light signal?" Said Jeng-kin-jiu.

Both of them paying attention in that direction. there they can see, when the waves are high as mountains have come down, visible red light flickering away and many times the green flame that floated to the sky.

"Their fate is certain!" Said Ang Sin-bin-kai slowly.

"Sharks will be partying after the storm subsided. In a storm like this, how can they escape? " Said Jeng-kin-jiu.

"We too are powerless to help them," said Ang Sin-bin-kai.

"Really, it cant be help. Seeing a fellow human being mocked by death but can not intervene to help, how sad! "Said Jeng-kin-jiu and his voice really sounded sad. Hearing this voice, the old man beggar also be sad. Both are now sitting on top of a high rock and sitting side by side, two of those who were earlier fighting desperately looked out to sea. Sometimes they cry out in delight when they saw the red flames, but pounding restless if the fire was not visible anymore.

"They are still there!" Cried the monk's joy when they saw the green light to drift upwards.

"I hope they survived!" the beggar pray.

almost half the night the storm raged and the two strange grandfather was still sitting there, taking a rest but with erratic heart to see how a large boat tossed about by waves and storms into the game.

Toward dawn, the storm died down and the waves disappear. its Strange when you see it, but seawater that had raged like all sea dwellers in the middle of great war, now quiet and silent, like a huge translucent green glass. Even the sun arising from sea level and whose image is reflected in the water, a sign that the water was completely motionless! As if a great giant was now asleep, tired after shows the greatness of their tremendous power.

Jeng-kin-jiu Kak Taisu and Ang Thong Sin-bin-kai are still sitting side by side and their eyes never blinking looked out to sea. Both appeared lethargic and gloomy like they sad about something. It is not strange, because since the storm subsided red light was not visible anymore!

"We are like traitors who see their people killed without being able to help," said the grandfather beggar slow.

"What we face is the power of nature power" Jeng-kin-jiu console him. "Giam-lo (God Of Death) already claimed the lives of these people, who can hinder its work? even if we are sad, its already something from the past, why not wet continue our fight? "

the Beggars then realized it, and turned to the monk, smiling. "You're right, between us no one has to lose or win. Come! " He then jumped down from the rock, followed by the fat monk with a happy face and a moment later the old enemy is already dealing against each other!

Suddenly, two men heard something and they looked at each other, then both of them laughting together, which they had heard was the sound of their stomach contents that can not be hold anymore because they are so hungry. the old Beggars making loud and high sound, while the monk's stomach contents sounded in a low voice. Fights last night has made them hungry.

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

"Baldy, why we not told them to shut up first and gagged them with foods?" Asked Ang Sin-bin-kai.

"Deal! Indeed its so annoying if they keep making sound and cry like a women" replied the monk.

"Eh, you perveted monk! How can you talk about women? Are from the outside you bow to Buddha and wash yourself but your heart always remember a beautiful woman? "Asked the beggar while his eyes full of suspicion.

Jeng-kin-jiu just laughed. "In a place like this, from where we can get food?"

The old beggar smiled and pointed toward the sea. "There is a vast ocean in front of our eyes, afraid of what? your fat belly wont be able to dry the sea." Having said this, the old beggar then plunged into the sea and swam to the middle to catch fish.

"Uh, Fatass Baldy, is this time you still want ciakjai (abstaining from meat) and let your fat empty stomach filled with fart?" the old Beggar was still have time to scream.

The Monk laughed, "Who is willing to let my mouth to abstain from eating meat and always loaded with vegetables but the hearts and minds remember fish lee delicious?" After saying this, the monks then plunged into the water and racing with old beggars to find the biggest fish.

After the bald monk who use his versatility to move over sea floor, finally he can catch a fish fat as him. The fish was thrashing, and even if on land Jeng-kin-jiu is an expert gwakang that wont lost against an elephant, but in the water he was not able to fight this fish. The Fish almost escape from him if he not quickly pierce the fish's head with two fingers and broke the fish's head!

After Jeng-kin-jiu Kak Thong Taisu Resurface, he saw Ang Sin-bin-kai also swim from the middle of the sea. Also that old beggars, picked up something that looks remotely like a fish, but after they both landed on the beach, the wide-eyed monk looked toward the "fish" that with the beggar.

"Omitohud!" The came calling saying Buddha name. "It's true that you've managed to catch a mermaid?"

"Shut up, Baldy! Better hurry help this child. If I do not know that you understand the art of medicine, for what I took it to the beach? "The beggar then put the body of a small child on the sand. The boy was unconscious and his face blue, bloated stomach filled with saltwater. The child's head was Bald and from his clothes, he was certainly a child of a well of family. Only his clothing is now in tatters and his shoes already dissapear! his around 5 years of age.

"Omitohud! Finally we can also help someone among the passengers of the sinking boat, " said the fat monk squatting examine the boy. He loves to see the child because the child has a handsome face and when he checked the boy's body, with excited once he gets the fact that the child has good bones, bones of a candidate who is good at martial arts! Which particularly makes this monk liked was the child's head is bald and slippery like his own!

"Good boy ... .good boy ...." Again and again he said that while stroking the kid smooth bald head. The beggar becomes irritated to see this.

"You're going to treat it or rubbing his head?" He asked angrily.

Suddenly the monk was praying and he recited a verse from the lessons of Buddha Gautama,

"There is no difference between

Nirvana and Misery

There is no difference between

Misery and Nirvana"

"talk a lot but does not work is the character of a Siauw-jin (lowlife people). A lot of work with less talk is the character of kuncu (sage) " the old beggar shouted angrily.

Finally Jeng-kin-jiu Kak Thong Taisu started treating the boy. He holds both the child's feet in the left hand overturn the child with feet up and head down, and his right hand patted the bulging belly full of water.

"Discard the water why you put it inside your stomach?" He said, and immediately the sea water flowing out of the boy's mouth until his stomach flat. Then he put the child on the ground, on his back and move their hands so that the boy's chest was raised several times. But still, the child can not breathe anymore. The monk became exasperated.

"Bad Children, stubborn and stupid!" curse the monk. But even if he swore so, but he then put his mouth on the boy's lips and put his mouth until it meet with small lips then blow and suck several times!

The old beggar just looked at it and secretly he felt jealous of the brilliance of this fat monk, because he himself did not understand the ways of healing. Shortly thereafter, they heard the boy making a sound and his breathing come back. he only move briefly and squirming, then after opening his eyes, the boy jumped up. Two of the grandparents was secretly looked amazed. This kid really has good bones and exceptional durability, he just avoid the danger of death, now can moved swiftly too.

"Good boy, who are you?" The old beggar asked.

"What about the fate of the other passengers?" The monk was asked.

For a moment the boy looked confused and even if he try to remember, but he really has lost his memory.

"Who am I? Where am I? Ah ... I do not know. Grandpa, Who are you? "

The child who has a loud voice and a pair of sharp shining eyes. Ang Sin-bin-kai and Jeng-kin-jiu Ka Thong Taisu each other, then they both laughed.

"I called Ang Sin-Bin-kai," beggar introduced himself.

"And pinceng (my self) is Kak Thong Taisu," connect the fat monk.

"Why I'm here?" The boy asked.

"If there is no Hai-liong-ong (Sea Dragon King) trash the sea, where could you swallowed by the waves? And if there are no this two old man, where can you be here? "Said the beggar already use the words difficult to understand. But it turns out the boy's clever. He then dropped to his knees in front of two old man and saying,

"I really do not understand why I was drowning in the sea, but on the help of Ji-wi losuhu (2 great master), I'm really grateful. Hopefully Kwan Im Ji-wi Pouwsat bless both of you." He then knelt down and nodding his head many times.

The two men looked at each other with their eyes wide open. They feel thrilled to see the attitude of this child.

"Eh, good boy, presumably your parents is Kwan Im Pouwsat devotee. Very good! "Said Kak Thong Taisu. "Who are your parents and who is your name? Where did you come from? "

The boy shook his head with a sad face. "I do not know who my parents, what my name I've forgotten again. Where did I come from? I do not know, on thing for sure i come from the sea, because it is not both of you granpa who take me out of the sea? "He pointed straight towards the sea.

the two men looked at each other.

"Hemmm, he has lost his memory due to a very powerful thing in the middle of the sea. Pity! " Said Kak Thong Taisu.

"Son, if so, I will give you the name, would you?"

The boy nodded. Ang sin-bin-kai be thrilled.

"Well, from now on your first name will be Lu!"

Kak Thong Taisu laugh. his laough is so loud that it startled the child. He felt his ears hurt to hear the sound of laughter, then quickly he covered his ears with his hands.

"Why are you laughing, fat baldy?" Ang Sin-bin-kai snapped angrily.

"Ha-ha-ha, you old fart, even though you looks like a skinny beggar, you still can not forget the origin of your noble Birth! Let the child have your first name. For me, what it is means family name worth for? A nuisance! Good boy, you're first name now Lu just like this old beggar. But your name is I who will choose. You now use the name of Kwan Cu. "

"Lu Kwan Cu ..." the boy said quietly to himself. when he see the monk stopped laughing, he has lowered the hand that used to cover his ears.

"Yes, Lu Kwan Cu, good name, is not it?" The beggar said excitedly. "And from now on you be my pupil!"

"Eh, eh, eh, Ang Sin-bin-kai, what are you talking about? Who said he was your pupil? he is my disciple, you know? "

"No, bald monk who eat too much! He was my student. Lu Kwan Cu is student Ang Sin-bin-kai! "

"Crazy! he's my student! "

"I'm the one who help him out of the ocean waves!"

"And Im the one that drain the life back into his body!"

this Two people again faced with eyes shone, ready to fight over the boy. Both were arguing and eventually no longer be prevented and both compete anyway! They use their best move and the most devastating blow that scattered sand in the wind. Even this children now named Lu Kwan Cu was pushed by the wind blows, the child was rolled hard like a leaf in the wind. Of course he be surprised and the child then seek refuge behind a large rock. He lurk and watch the battles with both eyes wide open.

Now the fighting is far greater than the night before, because when they fought last night just rely on his hearing, now they can put all the skill and the sharpness of their eyes. Hunger forgotten and they only have desire to win!

Suddenly, he heard a loud voice from the child,

"Weird, weird! Two men in a place so desolate meet each other and became friends, why even mad at each other like a crazy buffalo? Ah, hell, maybe they both have skewed their brain! "

when they heard it, even fighting, the two men looked at each other while the old man's eyes widened, but they continued the fight.

When the little boy had seen how two people was still fighting, he seems to be bored. Secretly he then left the place.

Jeng-kin-jiu and Ang Sin-bin-kai of course aware of this, but they're deploying their best skill to break down a very tough opponent, so that they pay less attention to the child . After the sun rose high, fatigue and hunger make both become limp and naturally fight was stopped! They sat on the sand panting as they looked at each other.

"You old fart really great!" Ang Sin-bin-kai said praise.

"And you're skinny beggar was more severe than last time. If i managed to get the book IM YANG BU TEK CIN KENG, of course you would not be able to survive for so long. "Said Keng-kin-jiu Kak Thong Taisu taking a deep breath.

"Im-yang Bu-tek Cin-keng will not fall into your hands, baldy. that Book certainly will be mine. You'll see! "

"Hem, not necessarily. All depends on the God decission. Who elected to become a martial arts expert number one in the world, will then managed to get the secret book. "

"Fine, let's compete to get the book. Now we better postpone our battle until one managed to get the book, then fighting again. What you think? "

"Well, Ang Sin-bin-kai. Indeed, my stomach has been hungry. Uh, where Lu Kwan Cu? "The monk asked, looking left to right.

"Let it be, he is gone, because we cant chose the winer, which one wins, who will be a teacher? let him alone to determine who is going to be a teacher. Between teachers and students should be a string of fate right? "

the Monk nodded, then both of them then bake the fish they catch from the ocean, and then eat together. when we see it its strange and ridiculous. Two of the old fart, because little affairs had been attacking each other desperately. They have fought for hours until exhausted and even if they do not suffer severe injuries, but at least there are certainly broken skin and blue. Now they sit down to eat together like two good friends who are taking a picnic on the beach!

After the meal, Jeng-kin-jiu Thong Taisu Kak said, "Ang Sin-bin-kai, now i have to leave. Two friends have met and have experienced a lot of fun. Each meeting would end, then why trouble with separation? Only one thing i wanted to say. In the case of self-Lu Kwan Cu, among us who should get it first, have the right to teach first five years. After it should give to others, do not want to be monopolized alone. "

the Beggar nodded, "Unless someone else was able to capture him right?"

"Of course! The boy was very talented, he deserved some attention." Having said this, Kak Thong Taisu then jumped with very impressive ginkang. Even though his fat body is like a ball, so if walking seems like rolling, but in on jump, his body had disappeared from the presence of Ang-bin Sin-kai!

This beggar as a friend or as well be called his opponent, then stood on the beach and looking out to sea like while daydream. His lips moved slowly and his whisper can be heard,

"Im-yang Bu-tek Cin-keng, the book of secrets that missed by all the characters of kang-ouw (Martial world), and Lu Kwan Cu, that strange little boy ... ..ah, I seemed to see the relationship between these two!" for hours this grandfather stood like a statue on the seafront, his mind away by the waves that move incessantly.

the strange old beggars,a Fatass odd monk, little boy full of secrets, then the mysterious book mentioned. All of this occurs in the Po-hai sea. Indeed, in this world a lot of things happen that strange, peculiar to the human eye. Who dare say that nature has no power? Who can also follow nature rather than human? God power appear everywhere!

"Lu Kwan Cu, a good name! I like this name. I Lu Kwan Cu, yes, I named Lu Kwan Cu, who else if not this my name?" Many times these words out of the mouth of a small child walking alone on a deserted highway. He has lost his memory, can not remember anything about what had happened to him. He no longer remembers his parents who disappeared along with the ship where he was located. All have been lost in the waves of the ocean, and that this child was the sole survivor, and he lost his memory, who else the person in this world who can tell who the child is and who his parents?
