A chained death-row fighter is forced to face 18 masters—and defeats them all
Everyone step back so I can get some wine. I’ll offer a toast to Instructor Lin. You shouldn’t have gone too far and embarrassed yourself. This time, the teacher is injured and has lost money. He should know that pride is shame. You’re injured and can’t move easily, so quickly apply some medicine to avoid developing symptoms later . You guys take the teacher back to the manor. Pick up the silver on the ground and present it to Instructor Lin. Yes, Instructor, please come to the shed and let’s have a few drinks today. Instructor Hong, come on ! Instructor, please come on! I can’t take this bag of silver. Lin Chong is not a greedy person. I only want my ten taels of silver back. Instructor Hong, please wait! Please return the ten taels of silver that the master lent me to my master. You can’t kill him, teacher… If you can’t beat me, fighting me again is just humiliating yourself. Give me the silver, and I’ll create an opening for you. How about we settle this into a draw today? You can still walk around the Master’s manor afterward. I can’t beat you, but I can kill you. You convict , shackled and bare-handed, let’s see how long you can last. You’re humiliating yourself, forcing Lin Chong for silver and now you want my life. Instructor Hong, Instructor Hong, Instructor Hong! Lin Chong humiliating me is humiliating Master Chai , humiliating the servants and retainers of the manor. You all call me Master all the time , how can you stand by and watch now? Kill the Master! Stop it ! If you injure the prisoners, then just let Lin Chong show his skills. Do you see the slightest fear on his face? It’ll let these people who bully those who are unarmed and in shackles know that bullying others is self-humiliation. Good for you , Leopard Head Lin Chong! I’m ashamed, I’m ashamed! Instructor, all I want is for these people to save face for me. Can I find a way to let them win without losing my own life? Sir, do you know what Lin Chong is thinking? Instructor Lin, even at a life-or-death moment, you still think of others. I, Chai Jin, treat you with the best food and wine, showing you the utmost respect , all so that you can show your true skills. Otherwise, I, Chai Jin, have been blind ! I’m not asking Chai Jin to gouge out his eyes and throw them on the ground. Fine, then Lin Chong will use his staff as a spear to test the Lin family spear technique. Those ten taels of silver were borrowed by Lin Chong, who swallowed his pride, disregarded the dignity of being the instructor of 800,000 Imperial Guards, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and begged Chai Jin, just to give to the prison warden so he wouldn’t be beaten and crippled, and could struggle to return to the capital alive to reunite with his wife . He hoped to redeem himself through meritorious service and regain his human dignity . It was truly a last resort. I’m so sorry for offending you. You’re so cruel . Every time I go hunting, you never let me enjoy myself. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. This time, I saw the desolate wilderness, with yellow grass everywhere. Even the rabbits are covered in frost, and the hunting dogs have all shed their fur . Are you troubled by not being able to serve the country, sir? You want to be a Mengchang or Lord Xinling of the Song Dynasty , but that’s not how it is. Instructor Lin knows me well. It’s just that I can’t invite you to stay at my manor for several days . Sir, Lin Chong has another request. My family is still in the capital, and I hope you can take care of them when you have time. No problem, I’ll take care of everything. Instructor Lin, farewell. Take care. “My lord, please convey a message to my wife. Lin Chong misses her dearly. Open the door quickly, sir! You’ve brought the prisoner here. You’re a new prisoner. Emperor Taizu of the Wude era had an old rule: all newly arrived convicts had to be carried on a leash and given one hundred strokes of the cane as a warning . Now that you’ve caught a cold and haven’t fully recovered, let’s put those one hundred strokes on the books for now and settle them when you’re better. Thank you for your consideration. I have ten taels of silver here; please give it to the warden. Brother, it’s no trouble at all . Instructor Lin is a good man. I just witnessed your skill with my own eyes. Instructor Hong usually fights against all the skilled men in the prison camp and is invincible. You easily defeated him, Instructor.” Lin Chong knew what the warden was thinking. With Lin Chong’s skills , fighting or escaping wouldn’t be difficult. How could he endure staying here in silence ? It was precisely because Lin Chong promised his wife that they would reunite one day . If it weren’t for wanting to see his wife again and make her feel gratified that she hadn’t married the wrong person, how could he have endured until now? ” Money can move mountains,” that saying is true. At home, you were carefree and never knew sorrow, only wanting me to joke around. Is this Instructor Lin? Instructor Lin, waiter, what are you doing here? It’s freezing cold, come to my inn to reminisce. You run an inn here ? Yes, since receiving Instructor Lin’s help, I came to Cangzhou to seek refuge with an innkeeper surnamed Wang, and opened an inn. My benefactor , please come in, please come in. My benefactor, please sit down. Let me pour you a bowl of hot tea . Here, my benefactor, have a bowl of hot tea. “Come out quickly, come out and pay your respects to our benefactor ! This is none other than Lin Chong, the Leopard Head Instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards , right? Yes, yes, yes! I ‘m so ashamed, I’m so ashamed! You mustn’t address me like that anymore! My wife and I have no relatives here. Your arrival today is truly a blessing from heaven! Lin Chong is a criminal , and we’re afraid of tarnishing your reputation. Everyone knows your name, benefactor. This is a blessing we’ve accumulated over eight lifetimes! Yes, from now on, bring any clothes you have home for mending and washing. I’m clumsy, but I can still do some needlework. Yes, yes, the wine smells so good! It’s five years’ worth of homemade wine! Please, have a seat. I ‘ll get you some wine and add some firewood to make the fire burn brighter! This house is drafty on all sides; how will we survive the winter? After this snowfall, we need to get a bricklayer to repair this house.” Sir, where do you come from? Do you recognize this gourd? This gourd belongs to the old soldier at the hayfield. Since you’re the hayfield guard , please sit for a while. It’s cold; have a few cups of wine to ward off the chill. Yes, it’s cold; treat yourself. I’m afraid that since you left, the iron lion will rust from crying. What a heavy snow! The night wind blows through the small window ; the stars and moon have all grown thin. I’m afraid that since you left, my heart and soul have been filled with sorrow. I’ve been sleepless month after month, year after year, worrying about you . When will we meet again? When will we reunite and tell each other our parting feelings? A pot of wine among the flowers, magpies calling out, a yellow dog barking softly, an ancient bridge, new flowing water, a bright blue sky, a fire! It’s truly a loss. The warden and the bailiff are so diligent; once we return to the capital and report to the Grand Commandant, we’ll guarantee you two high-ranking positions. Lin Chong, after taking my medicine, will surely be cured of Gao Yanei’s illness. Instructor Zhang has asked around several times to say that your son-in-law is gone and your daughter should remarry, but Instructor Zhang just won’t believe it. The more I looked at my son’s illness, the worse it got . The Grand Commandant specially ordered the two of us to do this. I didn’t expect it to be so successful now. I climbed over the wall and lit about ten torches on the surrounding haystacks. Let’s see where Lin Chong can go. The fire is already eight-tenths burned. Even if Lin Chong escapes with his life, burning the army’s haystack is a capital offense. Let’s go back to the city. Let’s take another look. Let ‘s pick up Lin Chong’s bones and return to the capital. When we see the Grand Commandant and the son , they will say, “We can do things well. Let’s go back and take a look. ” If it weren’t for the heavy snow collapsing the thatched hut, I would have been burned to death by you. Guards! You treacherous villain Lin Chong, you can’t kill me, you scoundrel! I’ve known you since childhood, and I’ve only ever been kind to you. Why are you trying to harm me ? It’s not that I want to harm you, it ‘s that Grand Commandant Gao ordered me to come. I dare not disobey! This is the will of Heaven, protecting the virtuous and righteous. Because of this heavy snow collapsing the thatched hut , Lin Chong was able to hide in the mountain god’s temple , which saved his life. Mountain god, Lin Chong is truly… I wish I could kill and harm others, but it’s all just a bitter, desperate struggle to escape, a humiliation beneath the wrath of petty men. Lin Chong has reached his limit, his tolerance has reached its limit. Tonight, Lin Chong will finally stand tall, upright and honorable! I am a servant of the prison camp, my clothes are soaked by the snow, I wish to borrow a fire to warm myself. Please, make it convenient for me , you can warm yourself yourself. Thank you. Come, come, pour some wine from this charcoal fire! It smells so good! I have some loose silver, could you sell some to me? We’ve been guarding this rice bin day and night, it’s already past midnight, the weather is so cold, this pot of wine isn’t enough for us. You don’t need to think about it, just sell a few ounces to keep warm. Why are you so long- winded? Stop bothering me ! I don’t know if the shops over there are closed, why don’t we go check ? No choice, let’s go! Hurry up, hurry up! If you don’t leave, I’ll have you hung up! Why aren’t you leaving? If you don’t leave, I’ll have someone hang you up! Hurry up, let’s go! I’m leaving now! “Enjoy the wine, my good wine! This cup is for you, my wife. For the first time today, I called myself ‘ I’m going to commit suicide.’ After Lu Qian and Fu An, it was like a dam bursting, the murderous intent was uncontrollable. I struggled to go back, and the days of being with you were gone forever. What a huge manor ! Who dares to tie me up ? Let me go ! Let me go! Let me go ! You scoundrel , still have the nerve to talk back! Beat him! When the master wakes up, first find out who he is. If he’s a villain, send him to the authorities and beat him! Beat him hard! Come on, Instructor Lin! Master, what are you doing here? It’s a long story. Hurry up and untie him! This is the story of Lin Chong having to kill someone after the fire at the hay storage . I never imagined my brother’s fate would be so tragic. Brother, this is my manor. You can stay here. Master, I’ve found out that the warden of Cangzhou prison camp reported that Lin Chong killed the bailiffs Lu Qian, Hou Fu An, and two others , and also set fire to the army’s hay storage. Now he’s a public servant in the prefecture…” Along the roads and inns of the countryside, wanted posters were hung everywhere, offering a reward of three thousand strings of cash. Every household was searched to capture the culprit, Lin Chong. It ‘s not that a high-ranking official would take in a lowly person like Lin Chong; it’s just that I was afraid of implicating you if the matter were discovered . Since you, sir, are so generous , I hope you can lend me some travel expenses so I can find refuge elsewhere. Brother, I do have a good place to go. Where is it? This place is a water town called Liangshanbo, under the jurisdiction of Jizhou in Shandong. It ‘s over eight hundred li in circumference, with Wanzicheng and Liaoerwa in the middle. Three heroes live here as outlaws. The leader is called Wang Lun, the White-Robed Scholar; the second is Du Qian, the Sky-Touching Swordsman ; and the third is Song Wan, the Cloud-Piercing Vajra . These three heroes have seven or eight hundred followers, robbing and plundering . I have a good relationship with them and we often correspond. I can write you a letter now, brother. You can go and seek refuge with them. Take it one step at a time, sir. Please come inside. “Sir, how much wine would you like? One jin of wine and two jin of cooked beef. Okay, wait a moment. Wait a minute, waiter, how far is it from here to Liangshan Marsh? It’s only a few li from here to Liangshan Marsh , but there’s only a waterway, no land route. If you want to go, you can only go by boat. Sir, your wine is here. Sir, please use this. Waiter , where’s the boat? It’s getting late, where can we hire a boat? I’ll charge extra . It’s so cold, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find a boat. Waiter, can I borrow your pen? You’re so bold! You ‘ve committed a heinous crime in Cangzhou, and everyone’s after you. Now that you ‘re here , the government is offering a reward of three thousand guan for your capture. I want to take this reward . This black-hearted inn won’t let people drink. If you really want to arrest me , I’ll arrest you too. Give me the Leopard Head Brother, please rise quickly. Brother, how do you know my name ? It’s in the poem on the wall.” With his name written on his face and a gold seal tattooed on it, and such skillful hands, he must be Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards in the capital. ” I am ashamed to ask your name, brother. To be honest, my surname is Zhu, and my given name is Gui . I was a subordinate of the leader of the mountain stronghold, known as the ‘Dry Land Crocodile .’ My apologies for the disrespect. The stronghold allowed me to stay here under the guise of running an inn to spy on passing merchants. Anyone with money who came here was either drugged or killed instantly. I just saw that you were only interested in Liangshan, so I didn’t dare to attack you. Come, brother, let me offer you a cup . May I ask why you have come here? To be honest, the authorities were chasing me so hard that I had nowhere to hide, so I joined the stronghold. Since that’s the case, someone must have recommended me. Which of those recommended me, Master Chai from my hometown of Heng Hai County in Cangzhou? Could it be Little Whirlwind Chai Jin?” It was Lord Chai who had been on good terms with Chief Wang of the mountain stronghold for a long time, exchanging letters frequently. He had often heard of his brother’s heroic spirit, but he never expected to meet him today! Since Lord Chai had written a letter recommending him, Chief Wang would surely value him highly. Thank you, brother! And please , elder brothers, this is Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards of Dongjing, nicknamed Leopard Head . Lin Chong greets the three chiefs. This is a letter of recommendation written by Lord Chai. Instructor Lin was framed by Grand Commandant Gao and exiled to Cangzhou. There, a great fire burned down the army’s fodder depot. Left with no other choice, he killed three men and fled to Lord Chai’s house. Lord Chai treated Instructor Lin with great respect and wrote a letter recommending him to join the group. Then please, Instructor Lin, take this fourth seat. Zhu Gui, you sit in the fifth seat. Instructor Lin, please bring the wine. Today I want to drink three rounds with Instructor Lin. Instructor, I ‘m not very skilled, I’m just tall enough to be called “Touching the Sky.” Instructor, please sit down. On the way, I heard Zhu Gui say that Wang Lun is a failed scholar who, in his anger at repeatedly failing the imperial examinations , gathered Du Qian and Song Wan at Liangshan Marsh. Du Qian and Song Wan aren’t particularly skilled either ; their martial arts are just average. They should know that I must have good martial arts. If I were to force them to take the leadership, how could they possibly fight me? I will definitely send me down the mountain to avoid future trouble. Bring the firewood. Sir, you recommended Instructor to join my stronghold, so I should treat you well . However, our small stronghold lacks food and shelter. I am truly afraid that my limited strength will cause you trouble in the future , which would not look good. I have prepared a small gift, hoping you will accept it with a smile. I hope you will find a large mountain stronghold to settle down and rest your horses. Please do not blame me , three leaders. I have traveled a thousand miles to seek your name and ten thousand miles to seek your master. I have come directly to join your stronghold because of your influence, Master Chai. Although I am not talented, I hope you will accept me as your servant and let me make a living here. I will treat you as if I were to die and move forward. This would be the greatest fortune of my life . I did not come here for the money. This place is just a small place, and I am afraid it cannot accommodate you. Brother, please forgive my bluntness. Although the stronghold has little food, we can borrow from nearby villages and towns. There is plenty of land, water, and timber. Even if we want to build a thousand houses, it will be enough. This Lin Instructor is Master Chai’s manpower. Where do you expect us to send the man you recommended ? Besides, Master Chai has always been kind to our stronghold . If he finds out we didn’t take in Instructor Lin, how will we explain it? Brother, our stronghold doesn’t need him. If you don’t take him in, Master Chai will blame us, and it will only make us look heartless. For Master Chai’s sake , let him stay here as a leader. Otherwise, if word gets out that we’re so disloyal , the heroes of the Jianghu will laugh at us. Brothers, you can know a person’s face but not their heart. He committed a heinous crime in Cangzhou. Now that we’ve come up the mountain, how do we know what his intentions are? If he captures us… “To atone for his crime by handing him over to the authorities, what do you say we should do? I, a lowly man, have committed a capital offense. How can the three of you possibly atone for my crime? Fine, since that’s the case , to show you sincerely want to join us, you need to submit a pledge of loyalty. I know a few characters; please bring me paper and pen. I’ll write this down now. Lin Chong, you’re wrong. Whenever a hero joins, a pledge of loyalty is required. It means you must go down the mountain, kill someone, and present their head as a pledge. This signifies that you will never turn back, and the leaders won’t suspect anything. This is the so-called pledge of loyalty . Lin Chong has killed several people who deserved to die , but he didn’t bring their heads. That’s not difficult; I’ll go down the mountain now.” I’m afraid I won’t encounter a despicable person who deserves to die. How can I just kill anyone ? The one who harmed me is Gao Qiu. What did he do to deserve this? I’ll give you three days. Bring me the pledge of allegiance within three days, and I’ll accept you as a member. If you can’t bring the pledge within three days, then you’ll have to find another job. Zhu Gui, take him to the inn to rest. Call a few henchmen to accompany him to find the pledge of allegiance. ” Instructor , let’s hurry up and go.” “Yes , Instructor Langhaolin. ” ” Leader, Instructor, where is the pledge of allegiance? There really isn’t a single passerby today. Instructor , if you still can’t get the pledge of allegiance by tomorrow, don’t bother coming back here. ” “Where is the pledge of allegiance? If you still can’t get the pledge of allegiance by tomorrow, don’t bother coming back here.” “Let’s go . Yesterday we went north…” Today I went to Nanshan. Someone came . Wait, that old man is probably a wealthy man. Let him enjoy his old age. That frail woman is clearly his family. I can’t bring myself to kill her. Those two strong men, although they are carrying two sticks , are still human lives. How can I do it? The pledge of loyalty is really hard to come by. Wang Lun probably knew that I would not kill innocent people, so he deliberately drove me down the mountain to become an outlaw. Heaven and earth still cannot tolerate me. Go to Dongshan . Wait , since you won’t kill people, you’ve traveled all over the mountains in the east, west, south, and north. So what if you don’t kill people? Then you’ll just rob people. Wang Lun might let me go if he sees money. Stop ! You two heroes, stop fighting! You two heroes, stop fighting! You two heroes are truly skilled in martial arts and wield your weapons like ghosts ! I’m truly amazed! This is my brother, Leopard Head Lin Chong. May I ask, are you Leopard Head Lin Chong? So you’re Instructor Lin! No wonder your martial arts are so superb! I ‘ve heard so much about you! This hero is me, a descendant of three generations of the Yang family generals, grandson of the Five Marquises Yang Linggong. My name is Yang Zhi . You were once an instructor in the Imperial Guards. I also passed the martial arts examination in my youth and became a Palace Attendant. So you are Blue-Faced Beast Yang Zhi ! I’ve heard so much about you , brother! So you’re Commander Yang! I’ve heard so much about you! This hero is me, White-Robed Scholar Wang Lun. So you’re a leader of Liangshan! My apologies, my apologies . How dare I! I don’t know how Commander Yang ended up here. It’s a long story. The Emperor of the Daoist Temple sent ten commanders to the shores of Taihu Lake… We were transporting the tribute of precious stones and flowers back to the capital when a sudden storm arose on the Yellow River, capsizing our ship and causing it to sink. I dared not return to the capital to report , so I fled to another place. Now that the authorities have pardoned our crimes, I’ve gathered a load of valuables to bribe the Privy Council in Tokyo to regain my official position. I happened to pass through this area. Since it’s Governor Yang here, why not stop by our stronghold for a few drinks? Since we’re all heroes of Liangshan, I’ll go with you. Besides, I had the pleasure of sparring with Instructor Lin today; it was truly exhilarating. We must drink ! Good, please, please sit down. Brother Zhu Gui, quickly arrange for more men, slaughter a sheep, and serve the best wine. Today I want to properly entertain Governor Yang. Having me, Lin Chong, around would make them look inadequate. It would be better to do a favor and let Yang Zhi stay. To oppose me and restrain me, this brother is Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo, known as Leopard Head. That hateful scoundrel Gao Qiu exiled him to Cangzhou , where he committed another crime. He’s only just arrived and wants to join us. Commander Yang, it wasn’t Lin Chong who tempted you, Commander. Look, even Chief Wang abandoned his literary pursuits for martial arts and became an outlaw here. You are a convict, though pardoned , but I doubt you’ll be reinstated. Besides, that scoundrel Gao Qiu holds military power; he won’t tolerate you. Why not come to our small stronghold to rest , drink wine from large bowls, and eat large chunks of meat? “We’ll divide the gold and silver together, and be heroes like you. I don’t know what the governor thinks. Instructor Lin is kind enough , but I have a relative living in Tokyo. I was implicated in official matters and haven’t been able to repay him yet . Today, I still want to make another trip. I hope you leaders will return my luggage. If you don’t, Yang Zhi will have to go back empty-handed. Since Governor Yang is unwilling to stay, how can we force you to join us? Please rest assured and stay the night. We’ll see you off early tomorrow morning. Thank you, Chief. I wonder where such a hero is from? Such a hero is so capable of robbing that Blue-Faced Beast Yang Zhi ‘s birthday tribute. He’s more daring and decisive than Lin Chong. Unlike Lin Chong, who cowers in Liangshan, only thinking of revenge, he’s buried in the eyes of that villain Wang Lun, not knowing what to do.”
