“How’d you dare? Dare to cut my longan tree? Dare to steal my longans”, he roared, “If you wan, you have to ask me and letting you or not is my decision”.
Then, hundreds of people, thousand of people started speaking:
“No village here, no field here, there are only trees and mountains. We think it’s a wild longan tree and of course, it’s really a wild longan tree. It’s born and grew up itself no one planted and took care of”.
BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong turned angry, again.

That time, GiỡTuKrong was moving down.
“Fuck you!” roared GiỡTuKrong, “DamBik, DamVingBingKlan, DamDokGleTreVet, your are foolish and raffish. You were that people who came here with girls to take longans but all you were too dud to climb up the tree and so that the girls had to go back to call DamPhan, GiỡHreng and me to help them”.
“Because of me, DamPhan, and GiỡHreng you had the dilicous longans to eat”, GiỡTuKrong added, “You and people like you, don’t put on loincloth and had better all you dress as women. You all only make honor of turned worse”.
“This is wild longan tree”, GiỡTuKrong continued, “It’s born, grew up and bore longans itself. Sure, BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong want a fighting. Let’s start. I’m GiỡTuKrong, have never scare anyone. If I die on ground, my body will feed beasts and birds here. if I die in water, my body will be food for fish which live in”. Then GiỡTuKrong turned to people.

“Who will you follow, DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong?”
All of them replied immediately:
“Though our heads fall down, though our flesh’s rotten, we onl follow you GiỡTuKrong.”
Hundreds of beautiful girls, thousands of beautiful girls also said the same words.
“We wouldn’t have had longans to eat if DamPhan, GiỡHreng and GiỡTuKrong had not helped. So, we all will stand on DamPhan, GiỡHreng and GiỡTuKrong’s side”, said the beautiful girls.
Then, GiỡTuKrong talked to people.
“Now, all people who follow BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong, stands on a side and the others who follow me, stand on the other side”. GiỡTuKrong turned to the beautiful girls and said: “Hey girls! You chose to stand on my side. You all can come home, bring the rattan baskets full of ripe longans to your father, your mother, elders in village and many of others to eat. We will stay here fighting with BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong and people following him.”
The beautiful girls turned around they left, went toward their homes; though, they all filled full their brain by thoughts about DamPhan, GiỡHreng and GiỡTuKrong.
While, BiaBơngBơh, BiaSơngLong, SowdrăngMatAnar, three of beautiful girls said:
“We don’t wanna come back home. We will stay here, with you. We can’t let you here and fight with them alone. Though we will die or live we will stay here as MaKlen and MaJong.”
“Don’t,” said GiỡTuKrong, “You have to come back only that make your grandparents, your parents and all your relatives feel peace. If we want, we will call you”.
Then the beatifull girls brought the rattan baskets on their back turned around and found the way to their homes. GiỡTuKrong turend to DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong and said:
“DamPhan, GiỡHreng, you two will fight with people following BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong. I and MaKlen, MaJong will try to fight with him”.

118. Đền Cờn

Đến đời Trần Nhân Tông, đạo Phật ở nước ta đã bước vào giai đoạn cực thịnh. Chùa chiền mọc lên khắp nơi, từ Kinh đô đến thôn xóm, từ đồng bằng đến trung du và các miền ven biển. Ngay bản thân nhà vua, sau hai lần lãnh đạo kháng chiến chống giặc Nguyên thắng lợi, vào các năm 1285 và 1292, cũng nhường ngôi lại cho con, rồi xuống tóc đi tu, trở thành vị Tổ thứ nhất của phái Tu thiền Trúc lâm với pháp danh Điều Ngự. Số người tu hành của thời đó rất đông. Nhiều người xuất gia từ bé, nhưng nhiều người đã từng lập gia đình rồi do trắc trở nhân duyên, nên mới tìm đến cửa Phật. Trong trường hợp ngược lại, nhiều vị tu hành nhưng do những hoàn cảnh đặt biệt nào đó đưa đẩy, đã hoàn tục trở lại, thì điều ấy, xét ra cũng là lẽ thường tình mà nhà sư trụ trì ở ngôi chùa cửa Cờn là một ví dụ. Thuở ấy ở xã Hương Cần thuôïc Quỳnh Lưu (Nghệ An) bây giờ, có một ngôi chùa dựng trên một hòn đảo nhỏ ở cửa Cờn. Tiếng là chùa nhưng kiến trúc còn đơn sơ, chỉ là ngôi nhà lá ba gian ở khuất hướng gió biển và...

GIỠ HAO JRANG chapter 4

Their fighting was very noisy. When their knives hit against the others or hit again shields it rumbled as thunders. The place between sky and ground where they fought was covered by dusts. They wrestled, punched and kicked other by their feet. They burked others by their huge hands. Daytime as like nighttime they fought without resting. Sometime, GiỡTuKrong and his fellows got advantage but sometime, they lost. Long time had passed but they still didn’t find out the winner. BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong clawed on GiỡTuKrong’s face by his pointed hard fingernails but all his fingernails were broken while GiỡTuKrong’s face had no scratch. GiỡTuKrong raised his hexagonal rod which was made of brass and lashed on BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong’s face. BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong dizzied and fell on ground he fainted.
