Dragon and Phoenix
Chapter 54: In the Valley of a Thousand Kupu-Kupu

Not too far away, they stopped. Because Suma Sun stopped.

Wolves do not need to rush after their prey. If the prey is small, the wolf will kill it immediately. But if the enemy is greater than himself, then he will wait and wait, until the enemy is caught off guard and exhausted.

Wolves will calm down when facing their enemies.

Suma Sun was like that. If you see him getting quieter and softer, it means he's getting ready for battle.

Cio San understands this. Therefore, he did not ask Suma Sun anything. They walked leisurely without speaking.

He chose to talk to beggar Cun.

“I think Tianglo should have heard all my stories from the beginning. But before, I just wanted to ask. Is Tianglo sure, that in this world there are people who never make mistakes?”

“No one is perfect, Pangcu,” said beggar Cun.

“Tianglo called me Pangcu. Does Tianglo think of me as Kay Pang-pangcu?” ask Cio San.

“Of course, Pangcu.”

“With all these events, Tianglo's view of me has not changed?”

“No. Although cayhe knows there are many secrets behind all this, she still believes in Pangcu.”

“Why?”

“No reason.”

There are times when we meet people we don't know, but trust them. People who use common sense, of course, will not do it. But sometimes our common sense is lost to feelings. If he believes, then whatever he does, we will believe. If you don't believe it, then,

true and no matter how good the action, we still will not believe.

Events like that, the feeling is already common.

“If I told Tianglo that the late Ji-pangcu had made a mistake, would Tianglo believe it?” ask Cio San.

“No one's clean of mistakes, Pangcu. But what error does Pangcu mean?”

Cio San then told me from the beginning. About the murders committed by masked men. About everything. And about Ji Hau Leng whose lover was taken hostage. So it finally has to do a lot ‘dosa’. And then chose suicide to atone for his sins.

“Aihhhh. Cayhe does not understand, why it can be as deep as her business,” said beggar Cun.

“Does Tianglo believe my whole story?” ask Cio San.

“Mau believe also heavy. Inevitably, the reality made perfect sense. Know, Pangcu. Cayhe herself has seen many changes in the late Ji-pangcu over the past year. He often daydreams. When he asked what was going on, he just smiled and answered nothing. He also often ‘mengilang’. More are outside the base. No one knows where he went. In fact, our party network is the largest and greatest in searching for news. Let alone our own Pangcu,

mosquitoes and flies we know its existence.”

“Many of his decisions and policies cayhe feels quite awkward.”

“What's it like?” ask Cio San.

“Many, Pangcu. The servants do not remember one by one. The most cayhe remembered, was his decision to open the acceptance of members freely. In fact, our party used to be the strictest party membership. Not just anyone or just any beggar, can be a member.”

“Hmmm.” Cio San only nodded.

“Does that policy have anything to do with all these murder incidents, Pangcu?”

“Of course,” replied Cio San short.

“Then, what about the letter that Han Siauw had brought? Cayhe noticed, the letter was genuine. It's no different than the handwriting of the late Ji-pangcu.”

“The letter is certainly fake. Si ‘big box’ must have prepared it once saw Ji Hau Leng commit suicide. The movement of the ‘big box’ is quite fast, so that he can devise a plan and make fake letters so quickly.”

Cio San, continue,

“I remember, when I was a child, my father once told me about a Siucai (Literature) who was able to imitate the writings and paintings of anyone. I forgot what his name was. Surely, people like this, who falsify the writing and stamp of the college Kay Pang.”

“Hmmm, reasonable.”

Beggar Cun was just pondering. His heart was saddened by the events that had just passed. He doesn't even know what to do.

Then he said, “Then Pangcu brought me here for what?”

“I just saved you from the ‘big box’.”

“Hah?”

“Of course, if I'm not there, a rebellion will be imminent. The people of the ‘big box’ that he smuggled there, will surely kill you if they know you're on my side.”

Beggar Cun nodded.

“If you consider me your Pangcumu, I want to give you an order.”

“Hamba is ready to accept orders,” he said on his knees.

“You should ‘disappear’ for a while. Set the steps carefully. Find Kay Pang members who would be loyal and trust you. You guys should get ready, because from now on, I'm sure Kay Pang will be overrun by the minions of the ‘big box’. Besides, I'm asking you to go to Kotaraja. Look at Kay Pang's movements there. Immediately report to me if there is any progress.”

“Good, Pangcu. Uh, but how should I find Pangcu?”

“Go to Khu-hujin. You know who he is, don't you? Tell me you have a message for me. Let Khu-hujin take care of it.”

“Good. Servant leaving soon.” Beggar Cun then disappeared from there.

“What does Khu-hujin have to do with all this?” ask Suma Sun. He seems interested.

“Very related.”

Suma Sun just nodded.

Their journey was not rushed. They both rested, enjoyed the food, and even bathed and refreshed themselves when the ground was bright.

In a fight, a fighter must be in the best condition. Lack of one small thing will make them lose. The body must be fresh. Nutritional intake should be full. No injuries, no injuries. No problem that worries the heart.

Even a cut on the tip of the nail can make you lose.

The condition of the battle area must be mastered. Treefather. Collapse. The soil. The direction of sunlight. Wind direction. Even at what time you fight, you must take into account.

Suma Sun is an expert in this field. Hence, Cio San just according to what Suma Sun said. Suma Sun said sleep, then she fell asleep. Suma Sun said eat, she eat. Even if Suma Sun told her to pee, she would comply.

Now after a shower and breakfast, they sat down to enjoy the morning sun.

“After seeing for yourself the movement of your sword earlier, I sure can not catch your sword,” said Cio San.

“You can see my sword?” ask Suma Sun.

“Can.”

“Ah...” There was disappointment in his voice.

“But I won't be able to catch it,” refutes Cio San.

“Stay you can see it,” said Suma Sun coldly. Continue, “If not because we would have fought against the enemy in front, right now I would have wanted to fight with you.”

“I ‘kan already said, I can't catch your sword,” said Cio San.

“But you didn't say that I could beat you,” Suma Sun said. His words were even more calm and cold. This is a sign that he has started entering ‘fighter style’nya.

Cio San bobbing head. Why in this world are there people like this?

“Enemy in front of us, is that someone you've been looking for?” ask Suma Sun.

“Could be,” said Cio San casually.

“You will not be able to travel alone,” said Suma Sun.

“I know. That's why I'm taking you.”

“Why are you so sure I want to accept your invitation?”

“Because you're looking for him, right?”

Suma Sun was a little shocked. “Where did you know?”

“You have a grudge against him. That's why, you wanted to come when you used to be called Cukat Tong. If it wasn't for your own business, you wouldn't have come,” explained Cio San.

“You are great,” said Suma Sun.

“If you say it, I just believe that I'm great,” said Cio San with a smile. But Suma Sun did not smile.

“Newly this time I felt fear for someone,” his words were slow and slow. It felt increasingly soft and smooth to sound. “Enemies are as strong as anything, even stronger than me, I have never been afraid. Only you I just felt it. It turns out like this it feels.”

“If you fight with me in this condition, you will definitely lose,” said Cio San.

“Of course.” He admitted to losing by being relaxed and light. Though, a person like Suma Sun had very high self-esteem.

“People we will face, are there two people?” ask Cio San.

“You know?” Suma Sun asked back.

“If only one person, of course you can deal with it alone.”

Suma Sun nodded. He hugged his sword tightly. In this world the thing that he loved the most, was definitely that sword.

“Are they that great?” ask Cio San again.

“He's mastered for decades. This place we came to, is the place. He has won a few steps.”

“What makes you sure we will win?”

“There's you and me.”

This is not arrogance. If he wasn't sure he was right, he certainly wouldn't want to fight.

“Let's continue the journey.”

They also leave. Until the evening, they came to a beautiful valley. So many flowers and butterflies, make this place very beautiful. Cio San remembered Mey Lan. Normally, Mey Lan would most like a place like this.

“A place as beautiful as this, who would have thought of saving death?”

“There has never been a death here,” Suma Sun said.

“Oh.” If Suma Sun is the one talking, Cio San will.

High-natured humans like Suma Sun are indeed more opinion can be held. This is because they rely more on their feelings. Suma Sun, who was blind from birth, had been used to sharpen her feelings so that she became very sharp.

The position of Suma Sun's body suddenly stiffened. His movements became slow. The path becomes slow. He felt danger ahead!

Cio San's own ears have not been confirmed.

“You heard what?” ask Cio San.

“There's people in front. His steps are not heard. But I can feel the killer's air.”

Before long, someone appeared in front.

“Ah, Ma Kauw-kauwcu and Ang Hoat Kiam Sian,” said the person with a smile.

His appearance is ordinary. Like an overweight market trader. His smile is friendly and friendly.

“Greetings,” says Cio San menjura. Suma Sun remained silent.

“Greetings,” the man said as he retorted.

“Mari please sit first.” He said kindly as he invited them to sit in a small pavilion by the pool. The view is beautiful.

Cio San and Suma Sun followed him alone. They then sat in the pavilion.

“Cayhe has a jar of wine. But either Gentlemen there is no interest, to just spend a few cups with cayhe?”

“Of course of interest, Mr...” Cio San hangs his words.

“Name cayhe Man Tho Li,” he said with a smile.

Anyone who has ears in the world must have heard this name. The Man Tho Li. The richest man in all of Tionggoan. His personal treasures alone, perhaps even more than the emperor himself!

Unexpectedly, this man named Man Tho Li was just a thick-bodied man dressed simply.

“Ah, it turns out cayhe is dealing with Man-wangwe (Submarine Man). Forgive cayhe's blurred eyes and don't know people. What an honor,” said Cio San.

“Aha.. don't dare.. It is precisely an honor for the cayhe, to be able to meet directly with leading heroes in this era,” he said. Then he asked, “What did this man who brought Enghiong ji-wi (two Knights) here?” he said as he poured wine into the cup.

“We are looking for four of our best friends. Maybe you've lost your way up here. We are just looking around without a destination,” said Cio San.

“Eh? What are the names of Cio-kauwcu's four best friends?” ask Man-wangwe.

“Cukat Tong, Ang Lin Hua, Sie Peng, and Yan Tian Bu,” replied Cio San.

Man-wangwe thought for a while, then said,

“I mean Kauwcu, Cukat Tong Raja Maling and Ang Lin Hua daughter of the late Ang-kauwcu?”

“True once,” replied Cio San.

“Then Sie Peng and Yan Tian Bu who is this?” ask Man-wangwe again.

“They are cayhe's men, Wangwe.”

“Hmm…. I'm sure they're not here,” Man-wangwe said.

“Eh?” Cio San could only turn to Suma Sun.

“They are here,” said Suma Sun calmly.

“What is Suma-tayhiap not mistaken? Already, just like this. Let's both go inside, and ji-wi Enghiong can check for himself.”

After speaking so, he got up and let them follow him.

Upon entering the house, there appeared simple furniture. The richest man in the world lives so simple.

“Please ji-wi Enghiong check all available rooms,” he said.

With a bit of a fuss, Cio San inspected every room. Suma Sun just stood quietly while hugging her sword.

Every room he entered was nothing suspicious. Cio San came to think that it was possible that Suma Sun could be wrong. When he got to the front of the last room whose door looked quite beautiful, Man-wangwe said, “Hope Kauwcu don't go in there.”

“Why?”

“That's the room of cayhe's sick wife.”

“They are in that room,” Suma Sun said.

“Suma-tayhiap! Don't just talk,” his words are still calm but his anger has begun to appear.

“You want to fight?” ask Suma Sun.

“Cayhe is not a fighter. But anyone who disturbs the peace of cayhe's wife, will cayhe face.”

“Majulah,” said Suma Sun calmly.

Cio San was confused as to what to say. In his heart, of course he believed Suma Sun.

Man-wangwe makes horses.

Suma Sun stood up straight. He had slipped a sword on his waist.

Man-wangwe moves!

His movements are very fast. To the size of a person as fat as him, his movements were even as agile as Ji Hau Leng! Cio San alone could hardly believe it.

Simple punch.

Suma Sun had grasped her sword.

As soon as the distance of the two got closer, suddenly from Man-wangwe's mouth came an extremely fierce shout!

The scream destroyed the entire room. Furniture breaks, doors are broken, even thick walls are cracked.

“Lion's Wealth!” whispered Cio San in heart. He had expended his inner energy, and sealed off his auditory path. But still he was a little late. The speed of sound, much faster than the speed of human movement.

The one who suffered the most was Suma Sun!

He did not expect Man-wangwe would attack him with the knowledge of Lion Auman. The science had attacked his eardrum very quickly. Moreover, his ears were indeed much more sensitive than anyone, thus making the attack of the Auman Lion knowledge have multiple effects on him. Closing the path of hearing was no longer possible.

“Arggggggghhhhhhhh He fell to his knees while closing his ears.

The devastating blow of Man-wangwe was now very close to his head.

With an unexpected move, Suma Sun had already dodged the blow. Somehow!

Maybe his instincts are working now. All this time, he had always fought relying on his hearing. Now his hearing was not working at all, but he was able to avoid the vicious blow. Only the experience of fighting, which makes the instinct of a fighter so sharp!

Want Cio San to help Suma Sun. But Cio San knew, ganged up was not the work of the knights. Moreover, he also knew, that Suma Sun certainly did not want others to interfere in her fight.

Now Suma Sun's sword had slipped out of her hand. A swordsman without his sword, like a wolf without his claws and fangs.

Suma Sun's face was pale, and she grimaced with pain. But his attitude is still calm. After successfully dodging Man-wangwe's ferocious punch, now Suma Sun has managed to set the distance from Man-wangwe.

“Great!” praise Man-wangwe. “For so long no one has escaped my attack,” he said.

He was speechless, because Suma Sun could not hear anything.

The Man-wangwe attack is coming again. Punched blows that target various places on the body of Suma Sun. There he managed to avoid and agile, but there were some blows also that entered.

Suma Sun was thrown into the wall behind her. This hit even hit that wall.

Still unsatisfied, Man-wangwe chased after the thrown body, and again launched a devastating punch and kick attack. If someone else were to receive that punch and kick, surely his body would be crushed.

But Suma Sun's body had been forged by many things. Although wounded, at least not to make him die.

Seeing this scene, Cio San's heart was as slashed. He already wanted to move forward, but he saw that Suma Sun had come back to his feet gallantly!

Blood flowed from his mouth and nose. Some of his bones were broken. But he stood up like a wounded wolf!

“Great!” No compliments came out of Cio San's mouth.

Man-wangwe again launched his ferocious moves. The blow came like a flood. His kick came down like a storm. All tried to be fended off and avoided by Suma Sun. But many times as well, the punches and kicks were passed and hit his body.

Suma Sun fell to her knees. These attacks were too devastating for him.

He fell down, and his hands were now holding his body back from falling face down.

One more attack, and Suma Sun will be out of history!

The attack also arrived. Man-wangwe clenched his palms together forming an extremely terrifying fist. This is the mainstay of science, ‘Iron Hammer Boxing Hit Sukma’. Cio San is stuck!

There was already no hope for him to help Suma Sun!

The fist movement was very fierce, very fast, very ferocious. Head to the back of Suma Sun.

Jem!

He also collapsed!

Roboh lost his life!

But not Suma Sun.

Man-wangwe is the one who collapsed.

A wound on his forehead.

There's no blood.

There is only death.

Suma Sun was still kneeling. In his right hand, there was a small bamboo that was not so long.

Bamboo shards of chair furniture that had been broken and destroyed due to their fierce fight.

Cio San so remember the words of Suma Sun.

“I don't believe my sword. But I believe in myself.”

And Suma Sun really proved it.

Cio San immediately rushed to Suma Sun. With her instincts, Suma Sun knew that the person who came was not to attack her. He was silent when Cio San pressed his hand against his shoulder and channeled his magic power.

Before long, Suma Sun began to feel her body refreshed. Although his ribs, arms, and thigh bones were broken, all of his organs were protected. This was because Suma Sun himself had a magic power that he trained

years since childhood.

Cio San then took a peek at some points related to Suma Sun's sense of hearing. The moment it was struck, this Sword God felt the pain in his ears begin to disappear. His hearing is gradually recovering. Little by little, he could hear the sound.

“Luck your inner energy is very high. Even if you're a little late, at least your inner strength managed to protect your eardrum from severe injury. If you rest recuperate for a few months, I think your hearing will return to how it was,” explained Cio San.

Suma Sun just nodded and said, “Thank you”. While saying so, he continued all his might to recover his strength.

Cio San himself immediately stood up. He stepped into the big door. The door that caused all these fights. That big fight didn't break the door a little bit.

He's opening.

A fragrant smell mixed with a slight smell of blood was blown from within the room.

The usual room.

Bwee Hua Sian sat on a chair, next to which was a bed. An old grandmother was lying weakly on that bed.

“Thank you.” Those were the words that came out from Bwee Hua Sian's lips.

Cio San barely understood, for what did Bwee Hua Sian say those words? He only smiled looking at Bwee Hua Sian.

“You should thank Suma Sun,” said Cio San.

“I know, I heard all these events from here,” said Bwee Hua Sian with a smile as well. His face looks calm and happy. Like a burden has slipped off his shoulders.

“This person, is your teacher?” ask Cio San.

“I prefer to call her mom. I want to tell you a lot of things, but I'm sure you already know so much.”

“I'd rather you tell me,” said Cio San with a smile.

“Good.”

He also started his story.

“Actually, the real name of Bwee Hua Sian is this mother of mine. She was called the most beautiful and richest woman in the world. In the past, he picked me up from the street, when my family was killed. He taught me silat. Teach me many things, including taking care of my body to stay awake like this.”

“Ah, I know you're not 80 yet. Probably 30-35 years old. But I must admit, your face and stature are like a 17-year-old girl,” Cio San said with a smile.

“Haha... It's true people say, you can't fool Cio San. Beng Liong wrongly came to a conclusion. Because all this time, I was always disguised as my mother. Using his name in each of my actions.”

“It is my 80 year old. Her beauty is completely awake. You must be wondering, why does my mom look like she's suffering like this? That's because *******Man-wangwe!” There was anger in his eyes.

“You know why *********it could be the richest person in the world? It's because he managed to fool my mother. A few dozen years ago, he was very handsome even though he was quite old. My mother fell in love with him. They then married. He was a mediocre man at the time. Because of my mother, she became rich. The cynical-hearted person slowly poisoned my mother little by little. The poison took away her beauty. Even took his magic. Fortunately I was not poisoned either, because I lived separately with mother.”

“With all the power of my mother, who has a lot of influence, men, and so on, the ******** that then began to carry out her depraved plans. He wants to rule the world of Kang Ouw. He wants to seize the position of Bu Lim Bengcu which will be held in 2 months. For several years, he began to get rid of his rivals. All done carefully and cleverly.”

“He also threatened me to be his men. He used me to carry out all his plans. Luring to the warriors. Seduce them, seduce them. And everything really worked out well. It is true that my heart lives it. Because I did it for my mother's sake.”

“And as you know, all the terrible events that exist in the martial world, all the consequences of the ******** that,”

He shed tears.

If the woman has shed her tears, it is a sign for the man to stop talking.

“Let me check on your mother,” said Cio San.

“Ahh.. Ahhh.. Toloooong…!! Toloooong.....!!” the old man who was on the bed shouted loudly in fear. It was like looking at a corpse that had just risen from the grave.

“Ah, Cio-tayhiro. Forgive mom…. Her…. He has been like this since the past. He is afraid of men. If anyone approached him, he would scowl and shout. All her beauty and tenderness were gone. It was like losing himself. It no longer cares about itself...” While saying so, ‘Bwee Hua Muda’ approached the grandmother and calmed her down. Gently he kissed, and whispered in his ‘ibu’ ear to calm him down.

After her mother calmed down, the young Bwee Hua then asked Cio San,

“You know, I deliberately kidnapped your four best friends was for a purpose. Because it wasn't Man-wangwe who ordered it.”

“You kidnapped them, actually is to lure me here, isn't it? To borrow my hand beat Man-wangwe,” said Cio San.

“Absolutely. He didn't know if I kidnapped your best friend and brought him here. Because he himself understands, if you sniff his existence, then all his plans will fall apart.”

“Then where are my friends?”

“Quiet, they're safe.” Young Bwee Hua then stood up and walked towards a closet. As soon as the closet was opened, he pressed a secret button inside. There was a creaking sound, and there was a secret room behind the closet.

“Please,” said.

Cio San entered the room and saw his four best friends inside. Even though they are touched, their condition is healthy and nothing less. Seeing that, Cio San was relieved.

“I treat them well. You don't worry. But first, I'm sorry I did all this. Really, this is not all my desire,” he said as he took off tootokan the four Cio San friends.

As soon as they missed, the four of them immediately came together to gather strength. Being shoved for days, leaving them limp and losing steam.

Bwee Hua then said,

“Let me take care of my mother for the rest of her life. You know he's dying now. After that, I will come to the top of Thay San to account for my actions.”

“Good,” says Cio San.

“Eh, I still have one more question. Where did you hide Ji Hau Leng's girlfriend?” ask Cio San.

“Love Ji Hau Leng? I didn't hide it,” replied Bwee Hua.

Cio San looked at him for a long time, he then regained his senses.

“Ah... Surely, you are the lover of Ji Hau Leng.”

Bwee Hua's face became very sad.

“You already know what happened to him, don't you?”

Bwee Hua simply nodded and cried. Cio San didn't know what to say.

They all left from there. Leaving behind the young Bwee Hua who took care of her beloved mother. Tong and Yan Tian Bu's trawler helped to remove the badly injured Suma Sun.

The Valley of a Thousand Butterflies is so beautiful. Keeps such a sad story.

They walked down the small street until they arrived at a bamboo forest outside the valley.

“Aih, something's wrong!” suddenly Cio San was stuck.

He immediately rushed back to the house. It was still as messy as they had left. Man-wangwe's body is still there.

But there's no one there.

There's just the smell of blood.

And a corpse was lying on the bed.

Bwee Hua ‘tua’ dies with drooping eyes and neck almost broken.

Cio San clenched his hands.

“Why did I get fooled by that fox demon?” he said, scratching his head.
