POST 705 6 - ENCOUNTERS ON THE MOUNTAIN PATH The document continues. Dinh Bao-Dan was born in 1566, year of the
Tiger, in the village Cam-Giang, in the Hai-Duong province. He was a very
smart child, grasping knowledge quickly at school and excellent in the
practice of martial arts. After he had gained some maturity, at the age of
fourteen, his father decided to offer him his own horse. From their village,
in the vicinity of the capital Thang-Long, they went to the far mountainous
region of Lao-Cai where there were a lot of good horses for warfare. On the
way back, riding Sao-Bang ‘Shooting Star’, his marvellous white horse, the
boy got lost in the forest, not far from Cam-Duong, and he had to fight
against two bandits who viciously attacked him. He won the fight, killing one
man and hurting the other badly. During that unexpected fight, he realized
how exceptionally good his horse was. A very strong bond started to be forged
between Bao-Dan and Sao-Bang. When he turned fifteen, he went to the capital
to improve his martial techniques under the supervision of Master Dinh-Kha
and to study literature with Master Phung Khac-Thi. He was an outstanding
student, and at the age of eighteen he enrolled in the secret Society
Thuan-Thien. One year later, he became a member of the elite class of the
Society. As the other elites of this organization, he received a very deep
formation in martial arts and fighting, just as in other techniques and
strategies for warfare and espionage. The Thuan-Thien Society had a hidden
centre for teaching and training in the forest, between Yen-Bai and Lao-Cai.
Its members called it 'To Duong', their Alma Mater. Bao-Dan became an
instructor in that school. After successfully accomplishing several missions,
was promoted to the position of chief of special operations in the capital. After fighting and killing Quy-Su 'the demon',
he continued to walk for several hours on the mountain path. He missed the
company of his horse Sao-Bang - he had to leave him in his village in order
to be discreet during the mission toward his Alma Mater. Chim-Linh, his scout
bird soaring around, came back toward him whistling in alert and perched on
the branch of a pine tree. Quickly, Bao-Dan went into hiding behind a big
rock, close to the path. Two men were approaching in single file. The taller
of the two, looking like a crane, was walking at the rear and the other one,
looking like a leopard, was leading at the front. Bao-Dan let them continue
for about ten meters and then threw a stone on the path behind them. In the
twinkling of an eye, both drew their swords: the smaller was in front guard while the other one in rear-guard position. Quickly their eyes scanned the
surroundings. (to be continued) |
