Princess Yuen Rho And The Story of the Dragon
The Search for Old Monks

"Yes God! What happened to my hair? Why do my body and nails emit light? Commander Han, what happened to me?" I asked Commander Han.

I could not sit still, I looked at my hands, body, and hair. It all freaked me out.

"Please, Princess, we'll find out about this! Tomorrow morning, we have to find an old monk in the Kowloon mountains, I think he knows everything. Relax princess!" Commander Han, pull my hand, my body falls on the chest of his field.

"Commander Han?" I tried to let go of the grasp and embrace of Commander Han. However, the heart seemed reluctant to let go, our two eyes clashed against each other to look at my heart beating unbecause it wanted to explode.

"Rest! Tomorrow we must leave early in the morning to meet the old monk in the temple located across the mountain Kowloon." Commander Han let go of his embrace, suddenly his attitude turned back to cold.

"Alright," I said stepping away from Commander Han.

When I got to the room, Ayura was already sound asleep. I also tried to close my eyes, because tomorrow will certainly be heavier.

****

"I .. am .. ruyuk!" The sound of the rooster waking me up, appearing on the bed no longer there is Ayura, I woke up in a hurry.

Wooh! Lest I have misfortune, surely the Han commander will be angry with me, ah! Must move quickly, let him no longer look at me with a cynical look. I moved towards the bathroom, the shower from a bamboo, making my body fresher, let alone the water so cold.

After taking a bath and wiping, a woman from the merchant troupe asked me if there was a replacement shirt brought by my nanny?

I shook my head, the woman quickly gave her silk for me to wear.

"It's not new, but I'm sure it'll look pretty if the princess wears it." A Fung the woman's name.

The fabric is very good, the pattern of ulyang displayed very beautiful a peacock who was bowing his head. In ancient times not just anyone who can wear clothes or robes patterned peacock, which symbolizes beauty and glory.

For those of us who wear clothes with a peacock motif is said to bring the influence of chi energy is very strong, indicating good luck will always be with the wearer of the shirt or robe.

A Fung dressed my hair in a unique order, on the sidelines of styling my hair he asked, "how can the Princess' hair turn all white?"

"Eitherway! When the full moon last night, when I spent time enjoying the beauty of the moon, suddenly there was a glow coming out of my body, after which I became like this."

A shocked Fung heard my story, until the comb he was holding slipped from his hand.

"Yes God! What dream can I meet with Goddess Moon (Goddess of the moon). Princess, do you know when the full moonlight shines on the chosen figure then he will turn white whether his hair or his body, but to my knowledge it all happens when the Goddess meets his heart. Forgive me for saying that to the Princess" he said, hitting his mouth.

"No A Fung your words are not wrong, maybe my feelings are wrong! I have to leave immediately. Thank you, A Fung, your services will always be remembered!" I stood facing the mirror and looked at myself. After I felt everything was tidy, I rushed towards the dining table.

There we all ate breakfast together, none of which was different, but Ayura and the others seemed shocked to see the change in me.

"Wuah! Your Princess is so beautiful, please sit down!" A soldier pulled a chair for me.

I also enjoyed the dishes. The breakfast was over, we said goodbye to parting with the merchant entourage, we were originally going to the city of Prince Tan, unfortunately I had to go with Commander Han to the Kowloon mountains.

****

Long story short, we reached the mountains. You see a very large temple, in the forest and across the Kowloon mountains.

Our convoy rested at the bottom of the temple. While we still have to climb the stairs which amounted to hundreds. Yes in this temple is very famous for its many stairs.

With the help of the warrior finally, I was able to climb the stairs, then meet the monk.

He gave me a welcome to my arrival. The other monks prayed for health and glory for me. Because, based on the prophecy of the old monk my path will be many obstacles.

All the monks stopped praying as the old monk raised his hand.

"Worship my prostration to Emperor Yuen's descendants!" They were all monks prostrating before me.

"Wake, Monk. Your respect I accept." After I said those words the Monks got up from their bow.

"Princess Yuen Rho, I know something is making your heart tame, it's good that we talk three inside with Commander Han." The words of the old monk made me follow where the monk's footsteps were.

Once in a meditation room, the monk asked.

"Has Princess Yuen met the princess's heart? Because as far as I can change Princess Yuen into the figure of Goddess Moon or Goddess of the moon, when she met her lover, but their hearts can not be united even though the destiny of the red thread bond is tied at your feet."

I was very surprised by the old monk's words, how he could know everything, even about the red thread that was on my feet.

"Old Brother, what should I do next, and will this change benefit me in the future?"

"Your destiny has indeed been chosen as the largest carrier of Yin energy on the face of this earth. Your changes have been outlined by the heavens, but the inner energy and faith you should have are not yet seen in you. For that you have to find 3 items of choice that can kill the dragon and send it back to the afterlife."

"What is Monk?" tabyaju

"The first is the Princess must find a magic mirror, the grandmother mirror. Grandma's life is a mirror, she wants a daughter. Maybe from here you know what princess to do."

"Well Old Monk, then what's the second?"

"The second is, a thousand-year flower. This thousand-year-old flower will only bloom once in a thousand years which is considered as a bringer of luck for the stone giant who guards the stone cave. Surely this won't be easy to get. Defeating this cave giant was not with physical strength but with the power of mind. That's the key!"

"Then, Monk what about the 3rd one where I can get this 3rd heirloom thing?"

The old monk took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.

"Husuf ..."

He looked at me, then asked.

"Are you ready to lose what you have, Princess?" The old monk looked at me question mark.

"Ehm .. What does Monk mean? I don't understand?" I asked him again.

"Alright, the account will explain the 3rd heirloom, this heirloom is very difficult to get, the owner is a villager in the middle of nowhere, not everyone can enter the village, not everyone can enter the village, only a chosen person with a sincere heart could enter the village. They were the citizens of the little dwarves, their bodies were only half an adult, but their age was old even, some reaching hundreds of years. They've been defending their family heirlooms for hundreds of years, how's Princess do you still want to get them?"

"If you may know Monk, what is the name of this heirloom?"

"He is the scales of a golden dragon, and the tail of a silver stingray! When all of them combined into one poison compound this is the deadliest poison in the world, so there's no antidote." The old monk clasped his hands together and said "amitabha Buddha sancai .."

After getting all the information about the 3 heirlooms, I will look for it even if I have to go to the end of the world.
