THE ULTIMATE SWORD

Continued

General Eagle, with a kind but serious demeanor, said to the Prince, “Sir, if you wish to learn about the Ultimate Sword—a closely guarded secret of our army—please follow me.” Silently, the Prince followed the General down a narrow path that led through a secluded section of the army headquarters. They moved deeper into the forest, and as they walked, the General began to explain in a low voice, “The Ultimate Sword training is our nation’s secret technique. It teaches warriors to make the sword invisible and capable of producing sound.” The Prince, though surprised, maintained his composure and listened patiently. After a pause, the General continued, “An invisible sword is an invincible weapon.” They soon arrived at a training field where a group of warriors was in action. The Prince observed them moving swiftly in all directions, yet he could see no swords—only beams of light darting like butterflies in the sunlight. To his amazement, he heard harmonious, steely sounds, as if a hidden orchestra played an enchanting tune. The Prince started to ask a question, but the General motioned him to stay silent and continue walking. Shortly, they reached a clearing surrounded by large, carefully arranged stones, forming a secluded meeting space within the forest. Here, the two sat quietly, taking in the beauty and tranquility of this hidden sanctuary guarded by the army. After a moment, the General began a solemn lecture. It was one that the Prince would remember for years, especially when he became king. “The sound produced by a sword in motion reveals its quality and the skill of its wielder,” the General explained. “In the hands of our warriors, the Ultimate Sword can become invisible and produce musical tones that disorient enemies. There are five distinct sounds, each tied to one of the sword’s cutting lines: vertical, horizontal, diagonal, reverse, and circular.” He continued, “The Ultimate Sword’s secret lies in two elements: its construction and the training of its wielder. The sword is crafted from a special blend of steel, allowing it to vanish from view at certain angles. As for the training, it involves mastering a precise set of movements—an ‘Ultimate Sword Lesson’—a sequence that every warrior learns by heart and can perform even with closed eyes.” Listening intently, the Prince finally asked, “When I am king, will I have access to the secrets of making our Ultimate Sword?” The General’s response was cold: “No.” The Prince, surprised, pressed, “Why not?” With a slight pause, the General replied, “We let our enemies believe that the king possesses this knowledge. They act on that belief, giving us an advantage.” He added with a stern look, “Remember, Sir, in war, secrecy and surprise are everything.”

      ALL THE 9 CARDS OF HOANH SON


 

 

Blog VCDO, November 2021

 

The form HOÀNG SƠN

 (SOUTHERN MOUNTAIN)

 

 

(Source: Post 172 www.clubmasterhoang.blogspot.com)

 

In the Post VCDO November 2021 you will find all the nine parts of this important form: HOANH SON Quyen which could be executed in both styles: gentle and slow or dynamic and clear cut.

Historical facts. During the last part of the 16th century Vietnam was in chaos situation: King Mac, Lord Trinh, and Lord Nguyen were fighting against each other for gaining the power. On that background a great master appeared: Master NGUYEN BINH-KHIEM (1491-1581). He was the master for all the three antagonists, author of many writings, and especially a book called Sấm Trạng Trình which is considered by some people a book of advices on strategy while many people believe, so far, it is a Vietnamese equivalent book to ‘Nostradamus’. Up to our time NGUYEN BINH-KHIEM is venerated as an Immortal in the Buddhist Sect CAO-DAI.

 Story and legend. NGUYEN HOANG  was a brilliant officer serving in the army of Lord TRINH-KIEM who was his brother-in-law. Lord TRINH-KIEM was aware of the possibility that later NGUYEN HOANG  will challenge his authority, therefore Lord TRINH was awaiting for an opportunity to eliminate his potential opponent. Facing this great danger NGUYEN HOANG called on master BINH-KHIEM for advice. On that meeting the master did not say a word but pointing his forefinger to the south, beyond these mountains, then waved his forefinger three times before stopping and drawing a lateral line.  NGUYEN HOANG then understood that the master told him to go far away to take refuge behind the Lateral Mountain Hoanh-Son. And then after what will he have to do? The master still did not say anything, he just gave him a book and motioned him to go. Following the advice of his master NGUYEN HOANG went south with his family and a number of followers. He seriously applied the knowledge and strategy gained from the book of the master and later became a Lord NGUYEN.  Generations after, one of his descendent became King GIA-LONG founder of the NGUYEN Dynasty (1881-1945).  

According to popular oral-history the advice of master BINH-KHIEM was in this saying: 

“Hoành Sơn nhất đái, vạn đại dung thân’ = One Transverse Mountain can protect many generations

It is believed that the original copy of his book is still to be preserved at a pagoda known under a code name ‘CHUA MAI’, somewhere in North Vietnam./.

=========================================  

COMMENTS FOR THE THREE SETS ( Number 01 to number 06)

It is foolish to teach those who do not want to learn and it is criminal to transfer knowledge to those who would use it against humanity. Therefore, the priority should be given to those who come forward asking for knowledge -with sincerity and honesty, and with good intension of learning. So with observation -of the stances, the gestures, the behaviour, the mind- a master could see how deep, how sincere a new comer is.

 

Hoành-sơn nhất đái is a high chain of mountain in central Vietnam which makes the pass difficult. So the first required quality for those who want to learn Hoanh-Son Quyen is the willingness to overcome difficulty, to be determined, and to be persistent. In other words, at first step, Hoanh-Son aims to train the learner in this way.

 

Viễn kiến vô ngại . Successful and happy people are those who develop vision at any situation, they are trained to foresee and to be determined. They will quietly opt for the best solution. 

 

Nguyệt ảnh thâm tuyền.  In a night of full moon, looking up to the sky, people can see a beautiful moon; and they see only one moon. But the wise observer, looking down to a river, can see many moons reflected through thousands of waves. The water, for not having rigid form, can provide surprising power. The mind of a wise learner is beautiful like a moon and deep like water; moving slowly but surely. /.

THE ULTIMATE SWORD

Post 682, November 09, 2024

 

 

 

 

 

THE ULTIMATE SWORD

In a distant past, the South Kingdom followed a wise tradition for the transfer of power. When a reigning king grew old, he would, with the counsel of the Court, select one of his sons to be the new king. The chosen prince was then granted a year of apprenticeship, after which he would be officially proclaimed as the next king, adopting a regal name for his reign. During this apprenticeship, the prince would work in each of the six government ministries, gaining a deep understanding of the kingdom affairs. He was also granted the freedom to investigate any matter he deemed important.

 

The prince in this story was a young man: intelligent, but with a touch of arrogance. On the day he visited the army, led by the renowned General Eagle, he skipped the usual protocols and went straight to his question. “General, tell me—what makes a general unworthy of respect?” General Eagle, with a faint smile barely softening his steely expression, responded, “Sir, the list is long, but I will tell you this: when the Prince does not show respect to his General, the soldiers will lose respect for the Prince. And when respect is lost, the country itself may start to fracture.” With those words, General Eagle gave the prince a formal salute and suggested him to schedule a later time for further discussion. When the Prince returned for his next visit, he followed the proper protocols. Just as he was preparing to ask a new question, General Eagle spoke first. “Sir, would you care to learn about the most closely guarded secret of our army?” The Prince, intrigued, forgot his intended question and leaned in with excitement.(to be continued in the next Post 683)
