ADVENTURE IN THE WORLD OF PERSILATAN
22. The State of Han Empire
As told above .the Han Empire is currently being dilapidated on the inside. This happened because the reigning Emperor had already entered old age. Also, because of the opposition among the palace, plus the rebellion in places far from the capital of the Han empire.
Rebellion occurs where - where, well even a small rebellion - small but enough to undermine the authority of the Han empire.
Emperor Han has many concubines and countless princes.of the many princes there is one who is very ambitious that is the 3rd prince.
The 3rd prince had a strong influence in the military. This was because he had many maternal relatives who had power in the Han imperial military.
Even he at the end of this has a relationship with people from the martial world. Rumors circulated many Swordsman's choice was on his side.
Such was a glimpse of the state or condition of the Han empire..
*********
For two days Yu Chen settled near the beautiful river.he continued his journey until he reached the foot of a mountain.
The mountain was named White Cloud Mountain ..before reaching the foot of the White Cloud mountain range Yu Chen had passed through several villages and he had been well informed about the region.
On a clear morning, with the sun starting to rise high. In the coldest part of the White Cloud Mountains, which is the easternmost, a beautiful girl looks down the slope with a cheerful attitude.
This blood is slender, the way he steps his legs lightly will make anyone know that this girl is a Swordsman.
This girl looks only eighteen years old. His appearance was ordinary and he wore a small gold bracelet in his arm.
If viewed up close will cause horror in the heart. Because in the arms that are circular is not gold but a small snake in gold.
The little golden snake was still alive as it came out a black tongue licking - a lick of omens the snake was extremely poisonous.
The girl was named Lu Mei .this girl was a disciple of the ascetic who happened to be in seclusion in one of the caves in the White Cloud Mountains.
He was initially on an excursion with his parents but when he passed through the mountains they were robbed of a herd of bandits that rampant there.
Although he and his parents hired escorts for this trip, the mountain robbers were too great.
They killed the guards and his parents told him to run when the battle broke out.
Lu Mei ran without direction.she ran without looking left right.because panic chased by bandits.
Lu Mei shouted.His body floated in the air.can be sure he will die with a crumbling body.
But if God has not predestined him to die, then no power can take his life or his life.
In this world, God is the owner of the life of every person.
His body floated quickly because he fell into a running keadaab so the pressure power is very strong.
His body slid and at the most severe moment there was a hand outstretched to welcome him...
That hand was the hands of the recluse who was secluded there.The loud scream from Lu Mei's mouth made her wake up from her long stupor and with a quick movement she caught Lu Mei's body floating down.
He catches her and then he puts her in his cave and gets the fact that Lu Mei has fainted.
The recluse checked Lu Mei's condition.then he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief because the little girl was fine. He fainted from shock.
Before long Lu Mei regained her senses.she opened her beautiful eyes.she found herself lying on the straw grass.
startled ..soon he jumped up.he was shocked because when he glanced to the left.on the rock there was a skinny man.very thin like a skull.
" Who are you ..??? " Lu Mei asked stuttered as her heart felt fear..
" hehe..I. I don't know who I am.." Answer the skull man.
" you're crazy for not knowing who you are." said Lu Mei..
" hahahaaah.young man I have long forgotten myself.you may call me an old hermit ". The skull introduced itself.
" Well, ascetic.may I ask, where am I at the moment???", asked Lu Mei.
" Now you're in Goa I'm a recluse." explained the old hermit..
Lu Mei got up to get out of the cave and immediately she cried out in surprise because she was shocked because around the cave was a steep ravine.her feet became weak .
He came in to be greeted by the old hermit.
" Hehehe don't be lethargic like that.You better get me some drinking water.At the end of the cave there are drops of water from the mountain and it is pure water.Hurry and take me thirsty..I haven't had a drink in a long time." insisted the recluse.
Lu Mei said she saw that there was a kind of curve like a bowl holding the water droplets.and below there was a small bowl..
Soon he took one.after cleaning.he took the water and he drank a mouthful...
" hemmm fresh...!! " said.
He took a bowl to fill the water and he gave it to the hermit..
" thank you, good boy.I have long been asleep in my meditation.I have long forgotten the needs of my body.now that I have realized I am thirsty and hungry." said the ascetic.
"After a satisfied drink ..now I am hungry.you clean and burn this snake.." the hermit threw two snakes out of nowhere.
Lu Mei took and then cleaned the two snakes ..then hold it up.scented fragrance immediately smelled because at the end of the cave near the water.there are jars - jars filled with spices..
Both the snakes were ripe.They were both Lu Mei and the old hermit ate the snake meat greedily.
After eating.embarrassed intense drowsiness.and not restrained the little girl was asleep...
The ascetic chuckled at Lu Mei's state..
let the girl fall asleep like that because the flesh of the snake can cause a warm feeling.and the warmth can heal all the wounds that exist both outside and inside the body.
The ascetic can not wake up because of his old age and also because it has been too long cross-legged so that both legs are attached.cannot be removed.
" haah destiny ..really destiny .." he complained..
" let everything I have bequeathed to this girl..
Even the night came....
That night was very dark..
It has no moon or stars...
The little girl fell asleep.he heard the soft sound of her breathing...
Seriate.....
