A Chinese Tail
Some time ago the freshly married young couple called Frank Incense and Myrrh Incense, were so incensed with their environment and happenings that they decided to travel to the Ear East to search out an old spiritual master/teacher of long standing.
When they had arrived there, they bumped into an old Chinese couple who told them where to find that person including the turbulent past of the local region.
There is an Old Master who lived in 1955 BC. He was well ahead with personal spiritual development and an expert in the Chinese Martial Arts of 'Mel on cho'p' and 'Fa tu l'ong'.
His name was Hu Flang Dong, and he created a small family style of Tai Chi named 'Hung Lo Hai'. This was based on deflecting (Lo) and advancing (Hai).
Hu lived in the small village of Long Fing in the province of Gung Ho near to the Chinese Vietnamese Border.
During his training sessions, he practised using sounds to shatter the big Chinese Watermelon that he always carried around with him. At first he tried it with sounds of ‘aaahhh ss sol’ to no prevail, until one day he came across a woman from the local village, he focused all his Chi onto the Melon and shouted ‘sheees yung’ and the Watermelon shattered into many pieces.
Now, the Tu Long Mountains were infamous for its bandits and cut throats, and travellers passing through the area mostly ended up in a very sorry state by the time they reached the Temple of the Serpent at His long Tong, where Hu had developed and trained in his form of Martial Art for many long years, and in the end, had the reputation of his ability to kill a Chinese fly from a distance of 50 yards with the Chi that came from his finger tips! Many a weary traveller could rest in peace in the presence of Hu after climbing that path to the top of that long mountain.
