The Book of Gods

005: Lifting Disciple

The morning after the night of the attack on the Sacred Hand sect occurred, the atmosphere of the sect was again becoming silent.

Only smoke and brightly lit flames dotted the Xhansi valley, the place where the Sacred Hand Sect stood since over a hundred years ago.

The fire burned down the entire building of the Sacred Hand sect and tore it down after it became charcoal and black debris.

Thousands of bodies of men and women and bodies of children, lying in pools of blood that spread the smell of carnation throughout the air in the valley.

A Grandfather was staring at the entire building from the top of a cliff with regret in his heart.

He was late to the Sacred Hand Sect to meet the Sect Chief whom Chen Bun knew.

He took an old book from under his cloak. The book read The Book of Gods, He obtained from Yuan Shi. The Sacred Hand Sect Protector who had died at the peak of Mount Huashan.

“I'm sorry Shi's brother, I'm late for your meeting. I do not understand the contents of this book and I want to give it back to your younger brother who turned out to have died with his wife.”

The grandfather who turned out to be Fei Long, had just finished inspecting the entire part that had been charred. Not a single person he met was still alive, after nearly half an hour he had circled the territory of the sect.

He decided to leave the place, but a boy's scream was heard calling his father and mother.

Fei Long was surprised as he looked towards the source of the voice. “ Looks like the boy is Chairman Chen Bun's son?”

Fei Long immediately darted over to the crying boy calling for father and mother while alternately hugging the bodies of his mother and father and asking him to get up.

However Chen Bun and Chi Lin of course did not react. The boy that Chen An had summoned by Chen Bun a few hours ago was shocked when he saw the arrival of Fei Long who seemed to descend from the sky.

Chen An immediately stood up and the boy's eyes stared angrily at Fei Long who was stunned to see the handsome-looking boy, staring thus at him.

“Why did you kill both my parents!” Fei Long was surprised when he heard the boy say that to him while shouting loudly.

He finally understood that the boy thought so because he was the only one there.

“Nak .. I am not the murderer of your father and mother, I am a friend of Yuan Shi's father and grandfather. What's your name?” Fei Long said softly to Chen An.

Chen An fell silent, He did not know whether to believe or not to hear the words of the shabby-clothed grandfather.

But not finding any blood and the grandfather did not look to fight, making Chen An answer Fei Long's question.

“My name is Chen An Kek .. Whose grandfather? And why is Grandpa here?“

Hearing that, Fei Long smiled widely, there was a glimmer of hope gritting in his heart when he saw the intelligence that Chen An showed.

“Call Me Grandpa Fei Or Grandpa Long. I'm here to see your father to return this book. Turns out I'm late. This book is a great book. You come with me and I will teach you my moves and also the styles in the book. How?”

Chen An was silent, he looked puzzled by Fei Long's words. He looked at his parents' bodies with tears flowing down his cheeks.

“Grandfather I want to bury the bodies of my parents first. Can?” Ask Chen An.

“Of course why not? Where do you want to dig a tomb for them?” Ask Fei Long.

“Well wait here a minute.” Fei Long said as he shot towards the direction that Chen An had pointed out.

Half an hour later, Fei Long had returned and then with his inner strength picked up the bodies of Chen Bun and Chi Lin. It made Chen An's eyes glare wide at her. There was admiration in the boy's eyes for what was happening before his eyes.

He clucked as he strode unhappily to look at the bodies of his parents who were hovering one meter from the ground and moving along Fei Long's footsteps.

Shortly after, the two of them arrived at the funeral. Two holes have been dug to a depth of more than one meter.

Chen An tried to hold back his tears, but he failed to do so when the ground began to move to cover the bodies of his father and mother.

The ground was moved by the power within Fei Long who finally sat down after the funeral was done.

After marking the graves of his parents with stones, Chen An immediately kowtowed three times in front of the tomb before he stood.

“Grandfather Long .. Is grandfather willing to accept me to be a grandfather's student?” Chen An asked a moment later.

“Of course I will make you my second disciple .. “ Fei Long smiled when he saw that Chen An had prostrated himself before he finished his sentence.

After prostrating three times before Fei Long, Chen An stood up and his head was immediately stroked by Fei Long.

“An’er .. Teacher decided to take you south, to the residence of your late Grandpa Master. There are many books and also abundant resources.”

“Good Teacher .. Students will follow teachers wherever Master goes.” Answer Chen An.

“Eh Don't be so!” Fei Long immediately said that made Chen An become dumbfounded and wonder in his mind.

“Later Teacher wants to go defecate do you also want to follow teacher Hah!? You like peeking huh?” Fei Long is crazy again.

He also laughed out loud because of excessive pleasure, getting one student who he thought was a very genius boy.

Chen An was just dumbfounded, he stared in surprise when he saw Fei Long start dancing which shortly after, his movements turned strange.

But a moment later Fei Long sat down and burst into tears. That made Chen An even more confused by the situation he was facing.

“What's with the teacher? Why is he acting like a madman?” Chen An asked in his mind.

I don't know what caused Fei Long to behave like that, only a few people know why he behaved like that.

After nearly half an hour of crying, Fei Long seemed to have returned to normal just as he had when he first met Chen An.

“Ah .. Forgive Teacher An’er. Eh do you know the nickname given by the martial world to Grandpa?” Fei Long asked which he then answered himself after seeing Chen An shake his head.

“Grandfather is nicknamed Crazy Swordsman Sakti because grandfather often acts like a madman.” Fei Long laughed after he said so.

Chen an finally began to understand, why did his teacher behave so. Although he found out that the Master was arguably half-crazy, he would not waver to always respect him.
