The Adventure of the Kecapi
Chapter 43

Liu Hong then recounted all his experiences when he met Liu Ceng and Hua Li, and the three of them were both against Lim Bao and his comrades.

He also told me about the treasure map of the late Liu Bok that was passed down to Liu Ceng, then how they were taken captive by Lim Bao who forced them to hand over the map and help Lim Bao search for the treasure according to the map clues he seized.

"But why did you hand the map over to Lim Bao, Liu Ceng?" ban-tok asked Liu Ceng who could not answer, but only looked at Liu Hong doubtfully.

"Mother, for lack of care I was trapped and became a prisoner of Lim Bao. I was taken hostage and threatened to kill me if Liu Ceng didn't turn over the map. To help me, brother Ceng then handed me the map and with Miss Hua he gave up and was forced to help find the treasure because I was still a hostage." Liu Hong explained.

 "Ah, how noble is your heart, Liu Ceng!" Mother Li Hong exclaimed in amazement.

"You saved your brother, Liu Ceng. We thank you very much" Liu Tek said.

"Then what about the search for the treasure of Sung Kingdom?" asked Ban-tok to Liu Hong.

 "The place where the treasure was stored, with the help of a map can be found. But when the treasure chest was opened, it was empty and at the bottom of the chest was inscribed with cobra carvings Miss Hua and sister Ceng could escape and free me. The three of us were then able to escape from their lair." explained Liu Hong who told him all of his experiences.

"Hemm, after that, how will you act to fulfill the message of your late father, A Ceng?" ask Ban-tok.

"I'm determined to find the treasure, Mother. And sister Hong was about to help me. That's why we went back to the Snake Island. In addition to visiting Father and Mother both, also to ask for clues Mother who might be able to guess what the purpose of the cobra carving, what has to do with who took the treasure." liu Ceng.

Ban-tok furrowed his brows and remembered.

"Hemm, as far as I am concerned, the largest martial art using cobra carvings is the Snake Cobra Sect headed by patriarch Thio Kong. The snake cobra sect is famous as the most respected black stream.

"Then, we visit the cobra's snake sect and ask them. If it is really those who take it, we ask that the treasure be handed over to the rightful, namely the warriors," Liu Hong said.

"I'm still in doubt, brother Hong. According to Mother's description earlier, they are a respected black-flow Sect. If they had taken it, they would not have left the engraving in the coffin because it showed that the one who took it was a proud man. The writing seemed like a challenge." said Liu Ceng who tried to guess.

"Liu Ceng's opinion has a point. I also doubt that the snake cobra sect took it" Liu Tek said.

"I think so too" said Ban-tok.

"In addition to the Snake cobra sect there are more heretical streams that reside around the headquarters of the Snake cobra sect. All I know is that there are some important figures among them. First was the ferocious-looking Old Fire God and he had many followers who were easily known for their all-red clothes. The Old Fire God was besides having high silat science, also he was good at using magic. But he never dared to disturb the snake Cobra sect which had many high-scientific disciples." Liu Tek explained.

"Huh, it's worth suspecting that guy!" yelled Liu Hong.

"Is there still another figure in the cobra's snake sect, Mother?" asked the curious Liu Ceng.

"There are still a few more people. The second person to suspect was the Black and White Demon, a pair of twin brothers called the Black Devil and the White Devil. These two even though they have no followers, but they are both also famous as the main characters of the cult, who justify all means to achieve their wishes." explained Ban Tok.

"The fourth party is the Red Stick Beggar's Society. The association is ubiquitous as its branch, especially in large cities. Their feature is that each member holds a red stick. Which is in Thai-san village where the headquarters of the snake Stream Kong hu is the center where there is a chairman who nicknamed The Beggar Sakti Tongkat Satan. Each one of them has high intelligence. If there are new residents again, I do not know him yet." explained Ban Tok.

"Well, the village of Thai-san is inhabited by many heretics!" liu Hong said in conclusion.

"Not only are they shrewd, but also among them have many men," said Ban-tok who said.

"Your work can be very dangerous. You are young and have not had much experience, meeting such perverted figures, can be very dangerous."

"Ah, I'm not afraid, Mother. Brother Ceng has high intelligence, both silat and medicine! Especially if you help Miss Hua, uh of course we are not worried anymore. Honey, he has left." said Liu Hong, whose face was slightly sour .

 "You mean the girl who used to come with Liu Ceng back then? Hemm, indeed, he was very shrewd, especially his game of soy sauce. And I already know the shrewdness of Liu Ceng and Hua Li. You have a high body lightening style, I myself am not able to match it." said Liu Tek while commenting on his smile.

"Ah, Mother praised me too much" said the unkind Liu Ceng.

"Hmm, I became interested. Who is this girl that you all admire so much?" asked the curious Liu Tek.

"He was an amazing young warrior, Dad. In addition to her beautiful face, her Science is very high, her character is also mighty and wise, but.." said Liu Hong who was not finished, she looked at Liu Ceng and without being known to others, but, Liu Ceng beckoned with a blink of an eye and a head-band so as not to tell about the romance of the three of them.

"Will but what, Li Hong?" ask Liu Tek's curious father.

"It's okay, Dad. In short, Hua Li is a warrior who deserves to be the successor of the mighty Hua family and is famous for great patriots, so I heard." replied Liu Hong who switched his words.

"The successor of the Hua family? You mean, she's surnamed Hua?" liu Tek asked and seemed surprised.

Seeing Liu Hong hesitating a bit as if afraid of mispronunciation and turning his head, looking at him, Liu Ceng then replied.

 "That's right, Dad. Miss Hua is the successor of the famous Hua family and lives in the yellow river stream." replied Liu Ceng who replied and confirmed his father's question.
