POST 710 … After the joy and excitement of their reunion so
far from California, Clara quickly came to the heart of the subject: “Master, the story in the document you gave me
stops when Bao-Dan disappears into the forest with the Sacred Seal. Do you
know what happens afterwards?” With an enigmatic half-smile, the Master
replied: “I knew you would ask me that question.” He stayed silent for a moment then continued: “I
don't have the next part of that document. It is up to you to find it because
it must be somewhere. I have the feeling that the area of Nui-Hu at Yen-Bai,
in the north of Vietnam, is a good starting point for your research on the
ground, especially the small temple dedicated to Quy-Su after Bao-Dan killed
him. Here is a local map to guide you. Your mission is not without danger.
There is a high chance that other people will be looking for the Sacred Seal
and a map for the hidden treasure.” The master looked at Clara thoughtfully for a
while and then he continued: “As I already told you, in the past, the king of
Vietnam was a Heaven representative and his mission was to govern the country
in accordance with the celestial rules. The possession of the national Sacred
Seal assured his legitimacy. In popular belief, the king would lose this
legitimacy if he lost the Sacred Seal. Whoever possesses the Sacred Seal may
claim that he had received the mandate from heaven to govern the country, and
deserves the confidence of the people. In 1414, when the Chinese army of the
Ming, under the command of the generals Truong-Phu and Moc-Thanh, invaded
Vietnam, the Tran dynasty collapsed. The army generals of the Ming and,
especially the head of the secret police, Huyen Nhan, tried to find the
Sacred Seal to eliminate any legitimate resistance movements and to conquer
the country more easily. They did not find the Seal, which, at that time, was
under the protection of the Thuan-Thien Secret Society. The Society refused
to form itself into a movement of resistance, but it could hand over the
Sacred Seal to the most deserving group. However, it could also take back the
Seal by discreet means if there were actions in the government that went
against the interests of the country. So, Clara, you do understand the importance of
Bao-Dan's mission to protect the Seal and of the struggle between different
factions to get this Seal. This fight may have lasted until today. At the end
of the war in 1428, Huyen-Nhan returned to his home province of Van Nam
(Yunnan) where he created a martial arts school called Van Nam Huyen Dao
Phai. A century and a half later, Quy Su, one of his descendants, was a
leading disciple of that school. In the late nineteenth century, the school
still existed as a secret Chinese sect with branches in Vietnam. This sect
brought strong support to the Pavillons Noirs in their fight against the
French. In 1883, the French military officers Henri Rivière and Francis
Garnier were killed by the Pavillons Noirs, under the command of Luu
Vinh-Phuc, in the battle for the occupation of Hanoi.” (to be
