The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#91. Gurjaras

News of Chen Khu's death finally reached Emperor Shun Zhi.. Chen Khu is still a mysterious figure to him, despite having great service to him and even once saved his life from the target of a black swordsman.

Even though Emperor Shun Zhi felt he had never met Chen Khu but Emperor Shun Zhi felt a deep sorrow for it.. Emperor Shun Zhi headed straight for the city of Tainan to convey his sorrow to the Flying Horse sect which was where Chen Khu took shelter.

After three days of travel, Emperor Shun Zhi finally arrived in the city of Tainan and was greeted with great fanfare by his entire army who shouted yells while saying the name Shun Zhi..

Emperor Shun Zhi went straight to the head of the Flying Horse sect with all his members and expressed his sorrow for Chen Khu's death.. some of the army leaders including General Chou and Ken and other sect leaders who knew the hand of Chen Khu who managed to turn things around so that the Ming Empire troops could win the battle could not hide the sense of loss those who know for sure if Chen Khu does not come on time, then the Ming Empire is just waiting for the time to collapse.

That day, though most of the troops celebrated their victory with Emperor Shun Zhi.. it was also the third day of mourning for a small minority of others who felt the loss of Chen Khu's death.. the person who was the last person saved by Chen Khu planned to create a special monastery in his Temple and the monastery would be named Chen Khu Monastery in memory of the young man who had saved him and returned the staff his teacher's heirloom.. Wing Chun himself and all his members returned to their sect after saying goodbye to Emperor Shun Zhi who would still be staying for a few more days in the city of Tainan.

In return for Chen Khu's great service to the Ming Empire, Emperor Shun Zhi would build a statue of Chen Khu in downtown Tainan so that people could continue to remember him.

"Young man apparently you are conscious" said a man with a long, whitened beard and a turban wrapped around his head..

Chen Khu who heard the old man's words still occasionally opened his eyes because it felt glare while Chen Khu did not answer the old man earlier because Chen Khu did not know the language used by older men who sitting cross-legged beside him lying down.

"Tell his majesty Mathanadeva if this puda has been awakened "command the old man to the salag of a bodyguard who is in the room.

The bodyguard immediately walked to do what was ordered by the old man and headed in one direction that was slipping - there was a sound of swords clashing which despite his condition was still weak, there was a sound of sword fighting, but that voice was heard by Chen Khu.

"Ohh. You've been sober apparently young.. " there was a voice with language that Chen Khu understood and the owner of the voice was about forty years old and entered the room quickly and was followed by the bodyguard who had been ordered by the old man.

Chen Khu tried his hardest to improve his position in order to see the owner of the voice but the old man beside him tried to prevent it and asked him to stay lying down using sign language.

"Your condition is still very weak young man.introduce me Mathanadeva.. "

"Sorry Mr. Mathanadeva. Where am I now..? "ask Chen Khu

"Right now you are in Gurjara.but preferably after your condition improves we talk more.Now you should rest first and Dhanwantari will accompany you " mathanadeva replied to Chen Khu while looking at the old man who had been accompanying Chen Khu as if telling Chen Khu if the old man was named Dhanwantari.

Chen Khu nodded slowly, and Matahanadeva immediately left the room as a beautiful gadus of about eighteen who was still holding a sword in his right hand had already caught up with him..

"Ayahanda... Is the exercise done..? " ask the girl.

"To this day we will suffice Aahana. I will wait for the young man's condition to improve a little" replied Mathanadeva who turned out to be the father of the girl.

"Ayahanda..would it be true..if the young man was from a place that father had told you about..? "

"then we have to wait, hopefully he can recover faster" said Aahana.

"right now that's all we can do. better continue your own training." replied Mathanadewa.

"O father..!! " aahana answered briefly and left her father who sat cross-legged and meditated while waiting for Chen Khu's better condition.

Chen Khu who had already found his consciousness again began to recover his strength while lying down, although the chi energy present in his body was almost depleted while protecting him within the black hole that sucked him up..but the rest of the chi he had was still enough to regain his condition..

Dhanwantari who remained faithful to accompany Chen Khu also could not do anything else but wait for Chen Khu to recover by himself while continuously monitoring Chen Khu's heart rate on his wrist.

The look on Dhanwantari's face slowly - the ground changed.. his smile also began to flinch as he began to feel Chen Khu's pulse slowly - the ground continued to improve and Dhanwantari could also feel if Chen Khu's body also became warmer because Chen Khu had already it can re-energize its inner energy.

Chen Khu who closed his eyes did not want to lie down any longer because he wanted to know where the black hole threw it.

Less than two hours.. Chen Khu opened his eyes again, coughing softly.

"Sorry sir. If you may know.. Now where am I..? " ask Chen Khu to Dhanwantari who is smiling to see that he can wake up and then sit down.

The question of Chen Khu was of course not answered by Dhanwantari because the old man did not know the language used by Chen Khu and the only way was to order one of the guards to tell Mathanadewa back who was sitting cross-legged under a very shady tree.

"You can recover faster than I expected young people" Mathanadewa told Chen Khu.

"Sorry sir.. Where am I now..? " ask Chen Khu back even though he had previously asked the same question.

"Oh. yes.introduce me. I am Mathanadewa.. The king of the Gurjara kingdom is located in the southern mainland continent." replied Mathanadewa.

"and if you're alone..? " ask Mathanadewa back at Chen Khu.

"I am Chen Khu from the central mainland continent, rather I am from the Ming empire" Chen Khu replied.

"but how can you speak our language..? " ask Chen Khu back.

Mathanadewa's eyes widened keget hearing Chen Khu's home region.

"When I was fifteen.. my father Yadu, who was king of Gurjara, had previously ordered me to travel eastward to study with a wise and highly educated man so that I might succeed him and after a long journey it was exhausting that I finally reached Hang Chu Mountain.and I spent ten years in that temple before my father sent messengers to call me back.that is why I can speak the language you speak.." Mathanadewa said at length.

Chen Khu was speechless when he heard the explanation from Mathanadewa, though surprised, at least he had hope of returning to the central mainland continent.
