There, on the plush cushion lay merely a round knobbed ring! Was this the end of their great expectations? Were Bennett's millions merely mythical? The two stared at each other in chagrin. Wu was the first to speak. "Where there should have been seven million dollars," he muttered to himself, "why is there only a mystic ring?"
Now Rose of Evening had originally been a celebrated singing girl of Wu, who had fallen into the river and whose body had never been found. So she thought to herself that, after all, she could not return to her old life again. So she answered: "Madame Dsiang, in Dschen-Giang is my mother-in-law." Then the travelers took passage for her in a ship which brought her to the place she had mentioned.
"I'll raise her to the rank of 'Princess of Heng Wu," Li Wan rejoined. "I wonder what you all think about this." "This title of honour," T'an Ch'un observed, "is most apposite." "What about mine?" Pao-yue asked. "You should try and think of one for me also!" "Your style has long ago been decided upon," Pao-ch'ai smiled. "It consists of three words: 'fussing for nothing! It's most pat!"
In such case Notscha would be a personification of the thunder. There is a whole genealogy of mythical saints and holy men who took part in the battles between King Wu of Dschou and the tyrant Dschou-Sin. These saints are, for the most part, Buddhist-Brahminic figures which have been reshaped.
Sun Wu Kung replied: "I will not say a word! I will not say a word!" Then he once more thanked him for all the kindness shown him, turned a somersault and climbed up to the clouds. Within the hour he had passed the seas, and saw the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits lying before him. Then he felt happy and at home again, let his cloud sink down to earth and cried: "Here I am back again, children!"
"Without a doubt," bowed Long Sin. He went over to a bag near-by, which he had already sent up by another servant, and opened it. Inside was an oxygen helmet. He replaced it, after showing it to Wu. "With the aid of the science of the white devil, we shall overcome the science of the white devil," purred Long Sin subtly.
Chang Tao-ling, the first Taoist pope, was born in A.D. 35, in the reign of the Emperor Kuang Wu Ti of the Han dynasty. His birthplace is variously given as the T'ien-mu Shan, 'Eye of Heaven Mountain, in Lin-an Hsien, in Chekiang, and Fêng-yang Fu, in Anhui. He devoted himself wholly to study and meditation, declining all offers to enter the service of the State.
Whistling is a famous means of magic among the Taoists. The Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty, was a prince who is reputed to have devoted much attention to the magic arts. He reigned from 140 to 86 B.C. The three-legged crow in the sun is the counterpart of the three-legged ram-toad in the moon. The Red River recalls the Weak River by the Castle of the Queen-Mother of the West.
The bark of dogwood, properly cooked, gave a liquid that killed the ague; and oil from a diminutive bottle, or a red powder whetted upon the skin with a silver piece, brought out the soreness of a bruise. Thus, keeping his house, herb-hunting, writing, studying, entertaining, doctoring, Fong Wu lived on at Whiskeytown.
Sun's friends maintain that he is a genuine Constitutionalist, and that Wu is not to be trusted, but Chen Chiung Ming has a better reputation than Sun among reformers. The British in China all praise Wu and hate Sun; the Americans all praise Sun and decry Wu. Sun undoubtedly has a past record of genuine patriotism, and there can be no doubt that the Canton Government has been the best in China.
