Seeing the situation, Fu Hiong Kun was very surprised. The basket and hook in his hands were quickly placed on the ground, he immediately led Sen Man Cing.
"Hujin, how are you?" he asked anxiously.
Cold sweat poured from Sen Man Cing's forehead.
"It's okay.... It feels like my body isn't feeling well,"
he said softly.
"Let me papa Hujin enter the house."
"No need...."
Suddenly Sen Man Cing asked a question that surprised Fu Hiong Kun, ".. don't you also really like Song Ngo Lin?"
Fu Hiong Kun's face was red with embarrassment.. He didn't answer the question. Sen Man Cing took a deep breath.
"You don't need to worry. If Ngo Lin knew that you cared for him and secretly liked him, he would definitely not just throw you away."
"Just taste with him and make a good match," said Fu Hiong Kun with a grieved heart.
"He...." Sen Man Cing seemed to want to say something
but canceled, in the end he just said: "In the future he can only be side by side with you."
Fu Hiong Kun shook his head. "I'd better go inside and clean up the two fish so they can be cooked ASAP."
Sen Man Cing watched the girl's back until he entered the house. He was still standing there dumbfounded.
Song Ngo Lin is Song Liong's biological son. Luckily nothing happened between the young man and Bwee Ji.
Sen Man Cing raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. His heart just relaxed a little, but the worry came again. I don't know how the two of them are now?
A kind of indescribable horror enveloped Sen Man Cing's heart. All that night he could not close his eyes. The image of Song Ngo Lin and Tok ku Bwee kept on raging in his heart. What if by now something had happened between them?
But Song Ngo Lin is not just any young man. Sen Man Cing believes he will definitely think long before doing something.
But what if the devil enters their hearts? Like what happened between him and Song Liong.
Sen Man Cing did not dare to imagine anything extravagant.
––––––––
Dusk is approaching again. Fu Hiong Kun had just returned from the nearest hamlet, his hand clutching a sack of flour. The flour sack turned out to be hollow. The contents are scattered. But Fu Hiong Kun apparently still didn't realize.
It seemed that the girl's mind was in turmoil, her footsteps seemed very heavy. The way he walks is also like a person who has lost his memory. After entering the house, he placed a sack filled with flour on the table. He sat down on a long bench beside the table.
For a long time he sat pensively, Sen Man Cing was already beside him and he was still unconscious.
Seeing her strange state, Sen Man Cing felt astonished.
"Hiong Kun. What happened?" he asked intently.
Fu Hiong Kun snapped out of his reverie. He shook his head twice. "N... nothing... nothing."
"Is your body unwell?"
Sen Man Cing stretched out his hand to touch the girl's forehead. But it seems that Fu Hiong Kun's condition is fine.
Fu Hiong Kun couldn't hold back his heartache any longer. Since childhood he did not feel the attention of a mother. Sen Man Cing's love made his heart ache even more. She burst into tears. Sen Man Cing looked even more confused. "Hiong Kun, what's going on?
tell me. Who knows I can help you solve the problem that is hanging on your heart?"
Fu Hiong Kun shook his head with tears flowing profusely. Sen Man Cing stroked the girl's hair. Finally Fu Hiong Kun also said what was troubling him, "Lin Toako and Cici are getting married."
Sen Man Cing's surprise was abysmal. His body staggered back a few steps. Suddenly he screamed loudly: "No way!"
The screams were so loud that Fu Hiong Kun was startled.
"Hujin, this is indeed a reality! The Bulim figures around here have received invitation letters. They have rushed off to Bu ti bun's headquarters."
Sen Man Cing seemed to be in a daze when he heard the news
That.
"When will the wedding take place?" he insisted. Fu Hiong Kun even looked at Sen Man Cing with a stupefied look.
"Quickly tell me! When?" Sen Man Cing's voice was more like a wail.
"The day after tomorrow..."
Sen Man Cing immediately rushed forward. Fu Hiong Kun chased him. "Hujin, where are you going?"
"Bu ti bun!" said Sen Man Cing as he lunged forward frantically.
Fu Hiong Kun was surprised and worried, he quickly caught up. Sen Man Cing suddenly turned his head.
"Where can I get a horse around here?" "In the hamlet where we usually buy all the necessities." ––––––––
Horse running on mountain land. Sen Man Cing's body pressed tightly against his horse's saddle. Fu Hiong Kun who was riding another horse tried to follow behind Sen Man Cing.
From start to departure, Sen Man Cing said nothing. Fu Hiong Kun did not clearly understand what had happened. But seeing Sen Man Cing's panic, he could imagine that the business the madam was dealing with must be very precarious. He didn't dare to ask too many questions either. He just followed behind Sen Man Cing.
Throughout the journey, the horse never stopped to rest.
––––––––
Early in the morning, two horses crossed a small river. It just so happened that Li Cu was stopping by the river, his horse was resting drinking water. Seeing Sen Man Cing passing in front of him, he immediately called out:
"Subo...!"
Sen Man Cing's horse shot ten fathoms before it was stopped. He turned his head towards Li Cu.
“Xie ji, what are you doing here?” he asked in a sharp tone.
"Sifu told me to take Subo back to Bu ti bun." "You just arrived at this time?"
"I... Tecu...."
For a moment Li Cu also didn't know how to give an answer to Sen Man Cing.
"Did Tok ku Bu ti ask you not to rush?" asked Sen Man Cing sarcastically.
"Tecu... Sifu...."
"What exactly did he say?" snapped Sen Man Cing in a loud voice.
"Sifu said that it wouldn't be a problem for Subo to arrive on the second day after the wedding." Li Cu mustered up his courage. Because of Sen Man Cing's yelling earlier, he couldn't be honest.
Sen Man Cing laughed out loud. "Good! Tok ku Bu ti. Your heart is really venomous!"
Of course Fu Hiong Kun did not understand what his words meant.
Li Cu didn't understand either. Sen Man Cing also did not explain at length. He immediately pulled his horse to run quickly.
Fu Hiong Kun immediately followed behind. Li Cu was stunned for a moment. Finally he got on his horse and ran after him. Sure, he can be hot-tempered at times, but he's no fool. Seeing the look of Subonya who was so angry, after all, the horse was running so fast and panicked. He remembered the look on Tok ku Bu ti's face and the strange way he spoke. Li Cu immediately sensed that something terrible was bound to happen.
But no matter how he racked his brain he still couldn't think about what was going to happen. In fact, the terrible thing that was about to happen was completely beyond his expectations.
If only he had known from the beginning, he would have disobeyed his master's order, which would destroy Tok ku Bwee's life.
––––––––
Dusk is almost over. Night is soon approaching. Suddenly the clouds became dark. Cloudy. Then followed by lightning flashes and thunder rumbles. But the wedding party did not stop even though it rained heavily.
The guests had almost filled the place. The light of the lantern is bright. The sound of drums resoundingly. Not to mention the cheers and laughter of the audience. It was so loud and boisterous that even a bolt of lightning was barely audible. This incident really pleased everyone. Including Bulim figures. By joining the Wudang School and Tokku Buti, of course that person will start a new life again and will no longer cause disaster to the martial world.
Therefore, the wedding party took place smoothly.
Song Ngo Lin was also very happy, but sometimes there was also pain in his heart. How happy it would be if his father and mother were still alive and could witness him getting married.
Meanwhile Tok ku Bu ti was also daydreaming. Why hasn't mom arrived yet?
His heart is missing so much. He glanced over and over again at the front page.
––––––––
At that time, Sen Man Cing was still riding his horse outside the city. The horse he was riding at this time was the fifth horse. He never stopped to fill his stomach these two days. Of course the horse couldn't stand it.
Therefore, every half day he replaces a new horse. He himself did not even drink a drop of water.
Sen Man Cing only hoped that it would not be too late to prevent the marriage between Song Ngo Lin and Tok ku Bwee. The wind was blowing hard. The rain is getting heavier. Lightning continued to strike. A deafening thunder. Sen Man Cing ignored everything. He continued to spur his horse lunging forward. He hugged his horse tightly. His face was drenched, as was his whole body. Either rain or tears that rolled down his cheeks.
Fu Hiong Kun and Li Cu chased from behind.
They themselves are like crazy people. Street ahead
they are just dim. I don't know how far
the distance that must be traveled to reach Bu ti bun? Fu Hiong Kun was secretly worried about Sen Man Cing's condition.
––––––––
The wedding ceremony ended perfectly. Tok ku Bu ti himself escorted the bride and groom into the room to spend the first night. He couldn't help but smile at the success of his sinister plan.
Han Song sat in a large room. His heart is so confused. After all, he did not expect that between Bu ti bun and Wudang College there would be an in-laws. Is this luck or misfortune? He really didn't know.
Tok ku Bu ti entered the room. He took a quick glance at Han Song then lifted his cup from the table. "Han heng, Siaute honors you with a cup of wine. This cup of wine is a sign of ending the enmity between Bu ti bun and the Wudang School, as well as for the peace of the Bulim world from now on," he said.
His mouth did speak those words, but his heart certainly did not. Of course Han Song could not guess Tok ku Bu ti's thoughts, he only heard what came out of his sweet lips. He felt that the wine offered by Tok ku Bu ti had to be accepted.
His dashing feeling rose instantly. He raised his cup high.
"That's great! What you said is true. Let's have a drink!"
Cup by cup they dry. Sometimes the two look at each other and then burst out laughing. The remaining guests also drank as much wine as they could.
This happy day must end with a bang. No one paid attention to the sly smile on Tok ku Bu ti's lips.
No one.
Outside the rain and lightning greeted each other. Thunder seemed not to be outdone showing his authority. After the sound of the drums stopped, the thunder seemed to be even more powerful, showing its awesomeness.
––––––––
In the bridal chamber lit a pair of red candles. The disturbing crowd had all left. Only a pair of newlyweds were left facing each other. Tok ku Bwee walked towards the bed and sat on the end. His head was deeply bowed. At first he didn't feel anything. Now that the crowd had dispersed, only the two of them were left. The feeling was so embarrassing. He didn't dare to look at Song Ngo Lin. The young man's heart itself was extremely tense. You know, newlyweds. Moreover, in his entire life, he had never made out with a girl. His heart was restless. His heart was pounding.
With trembling hands, she opened the veil covering Tok ku Bwee's face.
The girl glanced at Song Ngo Lin briefly. Her cheeks were red with embarrassment. He was just about to lower his head again, but Song Ngo Lin had already grabbed his chin and lifted it up a little. Two pairs of eyes looked at each other. A thousand words had been spoken in the gleam of the eyes of the two of them. After all this time, Tokku Bwee finally started to speak up. "Idiot, why are you looking at me like that?"
Song Ngo Lin's reply was even more stupid...
"I just realized how beautiful you are."
Tok ku Bwee pouted his lips.
"Earlier you only cared about drinking wine with the guests. You didn't even glance at me," he quipped, pretending to be angry.
".So from that now I'm so fascinated looking at you .."
Tok ku Bwee wrinkled the tip of his nose. Song Ngo Lin also let go of his grip. He walked over to the table and picked up two cups of wine.
"Don't be angry. Now I have a cup with you."
"I don't want to drink," said Tok ku Bwee sambi! turned his face away.
"People say that newlyweds have to drink wine from the same cup. How can you not drink it?"
Tok ku Bwee had to accept the cup of wine and dry it all at once. An instant later her face was red, but that made her beauty even more obvious.
Song Ngo Lin then took out a piece of jade from his pocket.
"Ngo Lin is a destitute person. There is only this piece of jade that can be gifted to you."
Tok ku Bwee stretched out his hand to receive the piece of jade. Song Ngo Lin took the opportunity to grab Tok ku Bwee's hand. At the same time, the two hugged each other tightly.
Right at that moment, suddenly the door was kicked in from the outside. Sen Man Cing lunged in with his whole body drenched.
Her face was pale....
"You can't...!"
his voice sounded hoarse. After saying those few words, he saw that the two of them were still neatly dressed. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just been released from a heavy burden.
Song Ngo Lin and Tok ku Bwee were very surprised. Seeing Sen Man Cing's condition, their hearts were even more thrilled. Sen Man Cing leaned against the bedroom door. His breath hitched.
He nearly fell to the ground.
"Mother...!" Tok ku Bwee said hello once and then hesitated.
Finally he spoke too.
"Are you angry because your child didn't tell you about this marriage beforehand?"
"Hujin...!" Song Ngo Lin still greets with the usual nickname.
Tok ku Bwee glanced at Song Ngo Lin briefly. Just as he was about to reprimand Song Ngo Lin, Sen Man Cing had already stopped him. The woman shook her hand repeatedly.
"You can't get married," he said softly.
Tok ku Bwee could hardly believe his ears. But he still didn't understand. He thought Sen Man Cing was really angry because he didn't attend his wedding.
"Mother, Tia already told Suheng to call you home. But apparently it's too late. If Mother is still angry, let the child worship by banging his head three times to beg forgiveness from you."
"Me too..." Song Ngo Lin said nervously.
Look at the state of the two people. Sen Man Cing laughed bitterly.
"Mother, promise me that you will not be angry again," said Tok ku Bwee next.
Song Ngo Lin was just about to say a few words, but Sen Man Cing shook his head again. He laughed out loud. "You guys are really bad luck," he said, taking a deep breath.
Tok ku Bwee and Song Ngo Lin were even more stunned. Sen Man Cing's tears were flowing profusely. He raised his head to the ceiling and said in a firm voice: "Thian. If Sen Man Cing's mistake was that big, you also shouldn't have punished these two innocent children. Punish me alone!"
Tok ku Bwee looked at him with a look of not understanding.
"Mother, what are you saying?" he asked confused.
Song Ngo Lin glanced at Tok ku Bwee then turned to Sen Man Cing. Even though he didn't understand what the woman was saying, his little heart was whispering something was wrong. Sen Man Cing turned his head towards the two people. He shook his head decisively. "You can't be husband and wife after all...!"
"Why?" shouted Tokku Bwee. He rushed forward and grabbed Sen Man Cing's pair of arms. Song Ngo Lin also quickly came over.
"That's right, Hujin. Why can't we get married?" he asked curiously.
"Because you are brothers and sisters from another mother," said Sen Man Cing one by one.
Suddenly lightning flashed across the faces of the three people. There was no one who didn't change his face at that time. Likewise Sen Man Cing. It is evident how much courage must be mustered to express this fact.
Song Ngo Lin was stunned. To me, Bwee even looks like a crazy person. "How is it possible? Ngo Lin she Song, Bwee she Tokku...?"
Sen Man Cing shook his head. "Actually you two are both she Song. You are the daughter of Gi Ban li!"
Song Ngo Lin's heart trembled. His body staggered.
My tok Bwee still doesn't understand. He stared at Sen Man Cing in astonishment....
"Isn't Gi Ban li the real name of Song Liong tojin before becoming a priest. Between Tia and him..."
"Tok ku Bu ti is not your father!" said Sen Man Cing. He paused. Then sat beside the table with a sad face. Now it's already like this. I also don't need to trick you anymore." His eyes wandered off into the distance. That incident happened when Song Liong first fought Tok ku Bu ti...."
Finally Sen Man Cing told the secret of his heart
been hidden for decades.
"Twenty more years ago, I married Tok ku Buti. He was still quite young. However, because of his dream of mastering the world of martial arts, he was willing to study the science of Mil kip sinkang. Meanwhile, he himself knew clearly that Mit kip sinkang is martial arts that can damage the genitals of men so that they cannot bear children. But Tok ku Bu ti remains determined. In the end, we become husband and wife in the eyes of outsiders. Even though we cannot carry out our obligations as real husband and wife."
Tok ku Bwee and Song Ngo Lin listened in awe.
"At that time, the thing that Bu ti bun prioritized the most was the battle that had been determined for every ten years with the Wudang College. When the time for the match came finally Tok ku Bu ti could beat Song Liong tojin with his Mit kip sinkang skills. Sen Man Cing pulled deep breath. His eyes were still dreamy as if he was remembering the events that happened at that time.
Tok ku Bwee and Song Ngo Lin waited with pounding hearts.
"Actually, he intended to kill Song Liong Tojin right then and there. Luckily, Song Liong Tojin still had the strength left to run away. Unexpectedly, he actually ran towards Liong Hong Kek. At that time, Tok Ku Bu Ti was determined to dominate world of martial arts. He closed himself off and practiced diligently in order to reach the highest level Mit kip sinkang. My heart was also narrow at that time. I seemed to deliberately want to challenge him anywhere. The person he wanted to kill fell unconscious in the area of Liong hong kek. I actually deliberately helped that person. I even brought Song Liong tojin to live in Liong hong kek. I cared for him with great care. Until a long time passed, I still didn't see the shadow of Tok ku Bu ti coming to visit. While in my care, Song Liong tojin often taught various things to me. Like painting, reciting poetry, strumming the harp and even playing chess. During that time our relationship was still limited in the proper decency..."
Hearing that, Song Ngo Lin subconsciously let out a bitter laugh. My Tok Bwee was even more stunned.
"Three months passed again. Finally Tok ku Bu ti came out of the room where he closed himself. But he did not visit me, only ordered one of his men to bring a piece of paper stating that he had left for Thailand san to fulfill Eng- hiong tai-hwe (gathering of warriors). He also expressed his wish to shake up the martial world. It took about a year and a half before he could return. Although I know, actually he wanted to train Mit kip sinkang to a higher level, so he deliberately prevent me from being separated from the bonds of love.
I feel sad and disappointed. That night I drank as much wine as I could to forget the bitterness I had received. Who would have thought that after getting completely drunk, I would commit such a big mistake."
The faces of Song Ngo Lin and Tok ku Bwee became even more unsightly. Sen Man Cing was still sobbing.
"After waking up from drunkenness, Song Liong and I felt a bit regretful. By then Song Liong's wounds had almost healed.
When he found out that I also studied iwekang, he passed on the knowledge of Tian can sinkang to me. He hoped that I could find the key in order to reach the final stage of that knowledge. Later, when we had children, he asked me to pass on this knowledge to our children...."
The longer he talked, the more turbulent his feelings. His voice was also getting hoarse. Song Ngo Lin and Tok ku Bwee stared at him in awe. They said nothing. Tok ku Bwee's tears had started to roll down his cheeks. Without waiting for Sen Man Cing to finish his words, the tears were already flowing more and more. Suddenly he stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Say no more!"
Sen Man Cing was indeed unable to continue his words anymore. With tears in his eyes he hugged Tok ku Bwee tightly. Unable to hold back any longer, Tok ku Bwee burst into tears.
The custom is very strict. Usually don't say sobbing, even a drop of tears is not easy for him. But the sadness is now unspeakable.
Song Ngo Lin also felt his heart sink. He stared at Tok ku Bwee who was embracing each other with Sen Man Cing with a stunned look. Tears were also running down his cheeks.
Right at that moment, suddenly Tok ku Bwee withdrew himself from Sen Man Cing's embrace. He burst from his room. Outside the wind was still blowing hard. The rain was still falling heavily. Without caring about the surroundings, Tok ku Bwee ran like a madman.
In an instant his face and body were soaked. Tok ku Bwee doesn't seem to feel it. He continued to lunge forward.
"Bwee ji...!" shouted Sen Man Cing pitifully. He continued to chase behind the girl.
Arriving in the long corridor, the sound of lightning flashed. Thunder rumbled as if it wanted to break the sky. Sen Man Cing's heart was even more thrilled.
"Blukk!" He dropped to his knees on the ground..
"Thian, if you really want to impose a punishment, let me take this punishment...!" he wailed sadly.
Hearing his screams, Song Ngo Lin's heart was getting depressed.
With tears streaming down her face, she also lunged out of the room. At that moment he felt his mind turning blank.
Lightning still flashes. The thunder was still thundering. Once followed twice, making the hearts of those who heard it even more gripped. Under the flash of lightning, Sen Man Cing slowly stood up. With difficulty he dragged his feet.
Even though her heart was sad, but she was still grateful to Thian. At least Thian had shown his greatness by allowing him to arrive at the right time.
There was only one person he hated at the moment. Hatred that infiltrates to the bone marrow.
Tok ku ma'am ti!
––––––––
The wind was blowing hard. The rain continued to pour heavily. Tok ku Bu ti actually opened the window in his library room wide. While enjoying the lightning and the sound of thunder, he gulped down the wine by himself.
––––––––
It was so late at night. But with a turbulent mind, how could he possibly sleep soundly. As he drank his wine he imagined what had happened. Unable to contain himself he burst out laughing.
"Song Liong, Sen Man-cing, twenty years have passed today. But you don't think that I still have the chance to take revenge that I have buried for twenty years, right?" Of course all of his words were only to be heard by himself.
"Song Ngo Lin! Know your taste!" With burning eyes he drained the contents of his cup. "Even though you have successfully trained Tian-can singang, and there is no equal in this world, starting tomorrow, don't expect you to still have face against the people of the kangouw world."
Tok-ku Bu-ti was getting drunk. He said to himself while nodding his head.
"Tonight you may feel complete satisfaction and joy. Tomorrow I will expose your depravity in marrying between siblings. At that time I want to see how you should answer the questions that will be asked by friends from the world of kangouw!" He filled his cup again to the brim. He took another sip at once.
Not to mention he had time to put his cup on the table.
Someone had knocked on the library door.
Tok-ku Bu-ti immediately turned towards the door.
"Who?" he snapped loudly.
The lightning that flashed shone a light over the person's face. Sen Man-cing. Her hair is disheveled. His eyes shone with pain and anger. He looked more like a corpse that had just resurrected.
"It turns out you've come," said Tok-ku Bu-ti while furrowing his brows. Then he raised his cup high, "Today is an auspicious day. We both as husband and wife should drink one or two cups to celebrate!"
Sen Man-cing's lips trembled. "Can this act of yours still be called the conduct of a human?" Finally Sen Man-cing couldn't hold back anymore. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
It turned out that Tok-ku Bu-ti could still laugh out loud. "What exactly do you mean by that?"
Sen Man-cing stared at Tok-ku Bu-ti intently. It was as if tonight he had just seen clearly who this human being was.
"What did you say just now?"
Tok-ku Bu-ti pretended to be surprised.
"Oh? It seems you've heard everything?"
"I have heard everything clearly. Everything.... Not a single word is left out!" said Sen Man-cing one by one.
"In that case, I even have to invite you inside," said Tok-ku Bu-ti, getting up from his seat.
Sen Man-cing actually deliberately went inside. "If you really hate me, you can just kill me. Why do you have to do all this?"
Tok-ku Bu-ti just smiled.
"That's right, I did wrong you. I betrayed you. But you don't have to give my daughter this heartache!"
Tok-ku Bu-ti's smile widened. "This is what you call revenge? Our daughter loves Song Ngo Lin, I actually bless them. What's wrong?"
"You still dare to argue?" Sen Man-cing stepped forward step by step in front of Tok-ku Bu-ti.
"You know whose daughter Tok Ku Bwee really is. You also know Song Ngo Lin is Song Liong's biological child. Why did you let them get married?"
"Can you let me say something tactful?" Tok-ku Bu-ti's attitude remained so calm.
"You also have words of wisdom?"
"Listen carefully. All of this is your own doing!"
Tok-ku Bu-ti accused Sen of Man-cing.
"Thian is the one who is tired of arranging everything as the law of karma to you dog couple!"
Sen Man-cing staggered back two steps. Tok-ku Bu-ti raised his head and laughed out loud.
He stretched out his hand to pull Sen Man-cing close to him. He glared at Sen Man-cing with a hearty laugh.
"You shouldn't have come here. But since you have come, I will not allow you to leave this room and destroy what I have planned!" His hand gripped Sen Fishing's arm tighter.
