Priča...

... nije moja, ali volio bih da je pročitate. Meni se svidjela.

Legends told of the couple Gan Jiang and Mo Ye to be the best blacksmiths on earth.

The Emperor of Chu ordered Gan Jiang to make him a sword. It wasn't a blessing, Gan Jiang
knew that the king would execute the creator to prevent anyone else in the world to have
anything better once obtained a precious item.

The most precious materials were sought from the hardest places, his own blood was put
into the extracts for it was no ordinary things he worked with. With his wife's help
Gan Jiang made a pair of the best swords he ever did in his lifetime. It took 3 years.

Before presenting the sword, Gan Jiang left the other of the pair to his then
pregnant wife and told her, "I will not live once I go into the city. If it's a boy,
have him avenge me when he grow up."

Gan Jiang was killed after offering the sword.

Not long after Gan Jiang's death, Mo Ye gave birth to a boy, Mo Gan. Not fogetting
her husband's wish, she raised the child and told him his father's tragedy when he matured.

In tears he swore to avenge. The young man practiced with the sword everyday. When he
set forth for his journey, the emperor had a repeating dream of an angry young man
running towards him shouting for revenge. In fear he ordered for the soldiers to hunt down
the man and guard the city gates.

With no choice Mo Gan hid in a small inn, one night he met a man who knew his story and
offered to help. "Give me your sword and your head. I can avenge your father."

"Then take my head and my vengeance!"

With that Mo Gan cut his head off. The man picked up the sword and head and cried out,
"What a son of a good man!"

And so he went to the palace and presented the head. The Emperor was overjoyed as it was
the exact face he dreamt of and wanted to reward the man. Instead he was told to boil
the head for 3 days 3 nights so that the ghost of Mo Gan will not hurt him.

The Emperor did as he was told, on the 3rd night he man told him to personally go to
look into the couldron.

Being curious the emperor walked up to it. The man seized the opportunity and slashed
the emperor's head off into the pot. Alarmed and shocked the guards flooded towards him,
the man decapitated himself.
