POST 701 4 - THE COLLECTOR OF HEADS Clara began to read the ancient
document written in Chu-Nom that master Steve Hogan had given to her. After a
few difficulties, because some characters in the document were almost faded,
she managed to reconstruct the whole story and she was immediately
captivated. The story began as follows: Year 1583, Province of Yen-Bai,
Vietnam In a rainy autumn day in 1583,
year of the Goat, a stranger arrived to a small hamlet located in the far
northern part of Yen-Bai Province. No one knew from where he had come with a
handful of henchmen to this distant and desolate place. He then established
his mysterious headquarters there. He called himself Quy-Su, the
‘demon-master’ and the local people were also pleased to call him by this
name although he had not done any harm to them so far. However, his face with
a bulky forehead, large white teeth, bright eyes full of envy and cruelty,
showed his dark inner soul. He was tall and fast-moving. His slashing long
sword seemed invincible. From his arrival this place bore the name of Nui-Hu,
the ‘howling-mountain’ because of the dreary sounds people often heard at
night. This place was not really a high mountain, but constituted by several
hills. Narrow gaps in between them offered passes from the plain below up to
the higher mountains ahead, and down to the other side as a short cut. The
isolated path going to the mountains was crossing through Quy-Su's place and
now was under his control. The narrow road passing there was frequented only
by poor travellers and fearless ‘trang-si’, those strong men who wanted to
get through the mountains by this shortcut and save two days against those
who took the easier lower way.
