When Gyatsa and the other heroes of the Ling Kingdom arrived at the city of Dazi, they found it empty, its gates wide open. The precious treasures from the vaults had all been plundered by the Hor people. The great hero Gyatsa was so enraged he felt as if smoke were rising from his seven orifices. K i n g G e s a r of Tibet The Legend from ling King Gesar (about 1038-1119 AD) was a legendary Tibetan hero who was born in Dege County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Later generations called him King Gesar of Ling. According to legend, King Gesar is also the incarnation of the Guru Rinpoche and his wisdom, compassion and power. CHAPTER 49 FURY DRIVES GYATSA IN PURSUIT OF FOES; KARMA UNAVOIDABLE, THE HEAVENLY DOG DEVOURS THE BRIGHT MOON The Chase Begins When Gyatsa and the other heroes of the Ling Kingdom arrived at the city of Dazi, they found it empty, its gates wide open. The precious treasures from the vaults had all been plundered by the Hor people. The great hero Gyatsa was so enraged he felt as if smoke were rising from his seven orifices. Like a man possessed, he neither consulted with the others nor made any battle plans. Alone, he charged off in the direction the Hor army had retreated. How could Gyatsa not be frantic? When Gesar had gone north to subdue the demons, he had entrusted all state affairs to him, charging him with protecting the Ling Kingdom, guarding the queen, and defending the herds at home. But now? The queen had been abducted, the treasures looted. How could he face King Gesar upon his return? As the proverb says: "The true hero among brave men is recognized in times of crisis; the thousand-league steed among fine horses is distinguished in races across the great plains; the wise man among the people reveals his capability when great events arise." Now, in this moment of crisis, it was time for him, Gyatsa, to show his true mettle. As Gyatsa galloped forward furiously, he spoke to his white-shouldered steed beneath him: O White-Shouldered Horse, my White-Shouldered Horse, Today in battle, I rely on you. Leap over cliffs and scale rocky mountains, Let your four hooves tread as if on level ground; Jump across great rivers and broad streams, Be like the golden-eyed fish in the water; Possess the skill of the white eagle, Run swifter than a flash of lightning; Today I go to slay our foes, In this fight, my only companion is you; Together we'll charge into the Hor camp, And turn their world upside down! Listen well, my horse, my horse, Today you are truly needed, To defend our homeland in this hour, To charge and triumph in this fray. The White-Shouldered Horse understood its master's words and ran as if its hooves were borne by the wind, swift as lightning across the sky. After an unknown length of time, both Gyatsa and his horse saw them: the Hor troops covering the mountains and plains, their weapons dense as a forest. Gyatsa recklessly plunged into the Hor ranks. His white-tasseled sword swung left and right, cutting down Hor soldiers until blood and flesh flew; his thunderous arrows shot in all directions, felling Hor troops who rolled on the ground. The Hor army was thrown into immediate chaos, crying for their fathers and mothers, scattering into two fleeing groups. One group, led by Sinba Meruze, Duoqin, and Prince Lawu Laibu, fled along the direction of the Jieri Sandy Mountains. The other, led by the Black Tent King and Tangze, fled toward the Dujia Koxiu Azalea Stone Mountain. A Fated Duel Niben, Gade, and Danma swiftly pursued the Hor troops fleeing toward the Azalea Stone Mountain. Gyatsa spotted a figure who seemed to be Duoqin behind the retreating red-tasseled troops and flew after him like a bird. Duoqin recognized the pursuer as Gyatsa and dared not look back, only urging the main Hor force to flee desperately. Unable to catch Duoqin, Gyatsa turned back and encountered another Hor contingent, at the front of which walked Prince Lawu Laibu. Gyatsa quickly lashed his white horse three times and charged toward them like a flash of lightning. The Hor soldiers scattered in all directions, regardless of the path. Wherever Lawu fled, Gyatsa pursued. Lawu naturally knew that encountering Gyatsa meant there was no escape from fate. He nocked an iron arrow with pheasant feathers on his precious bow, looped the ring of his white-backed treasured blade inlaid with cat's eye agate onto his thumb, and said, "Gyatsa! Today, it seems I am fated not to escape alive. But before I die, I must loose one arrow!" With a whoosh, the iron arrow flew out, passing right through the middle of the red silk tassel on Gyatsa's helmet. Enraged, Gyatsa drew his Yasi blade and charged at Lawu. Lawu dared not look back, only fled forward—from the top of the ravine to the snow-capped mountains, from the mouth of the valley to the riverbank, across the great plains, along the mountainsides, and back onto the main road—with Gyatsa in close pursuit. Finally, they returned to the front of the Jieri Anqing Sandy Mountains. Just as Gyatsa was about to catch up, his mount unexpectedly refused to continue the chase and instead backed away. Gyatsa quickly dismounted, drew a golden-tailed arrow, and shot. It struck Lawu squarely in the back. Lawu arched his back, struggled forward a few steps, and then fell from his horse. Gyatsa severed Lawu's head and began walking down the mountain path! At that moment, sparse raindrops began to fall from the sky. A rainbow appeared between the clouds, black grouse cried mournfully, white vultures circled overhead, and a pure white cloud drifted slowly northward. Suddenly, immense sorrow welled up in Gyatsa's heart. The image of King Gesar appeared vividly in his mind. Overwhelmed by longing, his tears fell like leaves struck by frost. He dismounted to catch his breath and rest briefly, his thoughts calming slightly. Resolutely, he thought: "The mountains and rivers of Ling are already shattered. I am separated from Gesar in life, and forever parted from heroic brothers like Yuda and Maerle in death. Truly, it would be better to die than endure this!" Unable to suppress the grief and anguish in his heart, he entrusted these feelings to the messenger of the white clouds and sang a song in the melodious tune of "Fresh Flower's Wonderful Sound": In the vast, ethereal sky, The wandering white cloud is like a beauty from afar. From whence do you come? And where will you go tonight? In the north, at Xiameri Jie, King Gesar is my younger brother. Does he have any good news? O white cloud! If you are going north, Please carry a few words for me. Tell the Great Lion King: Do not linger long in the northern lands. If you do not return to Ling soon, The Hor will devour the Ling Kingdom. Seeing our people suffer such humiliation, You went to that distant demon kingdom, Yet your own homeland slips from your grasp. My life's span is nearing its end, No need to speak of how desolate, how melancholy! In the summer of the Wood-Tiger year, You, Great Lion King Gesar, With your purple face clenching white conch teeth, Round eyes glaring like purple-red coral, The silk tassel on your helmet fluttering, Vulture feather plumes trembling, Lightning-warding armor gleaming brightly, Chestnut steed's hooves spinning like the wind, Rode alone, ceaselessly, to the north, Leaving me behind like a bird abandoned on a desolate shore. Just like the eye on the forehead and the heart in the chest, We are torn apart, alive yet separated. Though I speak these words, When I think of Joru, I pray and call his name. Gesar's protection knows no distance, In our hearts, we brothers are not apart. If you think of me, Xiega, Please also call the name of me, Gyatsa. These are the heartfelt words I send him. Had the great king not gone north, We brothers, arm in arm, Though the sun and moon are revered, their halos would tremble; Though the Garuda is skilled, its wings would quiver; Though the wild lion is fierce, its four paws would leap. He possesses miraculous transformations, I have courage and martial prowess. The masses fight like fierce tigers, Even turning heaven and earth is within our grasp. Though not destined by the lines on my forehead, This was to be the fortune of the Ling people. This War God's purple longevity robe, And that guardian Vajra armor, I ask the Dakini Heavenly Mother to take back, Or else return them to Gesar, For those who need them to wear! Though vexation arises, it is my nature; Though tears flow, they are but dew. May, in the luminous deeds for all beings, The tale of Xiega be widely sung. The Final Confrontation Gyatsa laid down his weapons, removed his armor, and placed the War God's purple longevity robe and guardian golden armor on a square stone. He kowtowed to it three times, wrapped it in a seamless divine silk undershirt, placed it in a marmot hole, and blocked the entrance with three white stones, praying: "I return these gifts to the War God!" He then mounted Lawu's warhorse and pursued the fleeing Hor troops. He caught up with Sinba Meruze and the five hundred red-tasseled troops who had originally hidden in a remote ravine of the Xieri Sandy Mountains. Since the red tassel on his helmet had been shot off by Lawu, Gyatsa inserted two pieces of silk on either side of his helmet crest. From afar, it looked like Lawu's white horsetail tassel. The Hor troops initially thought it was Lawu, but when Gyatsa came within an arrow's shot, drew his treasured blade, and charged to kill, they realized it was Gyatsa and scattered in panic. Sinba Meruze quickly shouted, "Please charge no further! Gyatsa! To pursue the weak without restraint—must you force everyone to the cliff's edge for a life-and-death struggle?" At this point, Gyatsa would not listen to any admonition. He hacked and slashed his way, driving the last remaining Hor stragglers into a small stream gully beside a pale gray cliff. Sinba turned and leaped up the cliff. Gyatsa pursued fiercely from below, outflanked him, and blocked the path ahead. With no escape, Sinba hid in a bend of the cliff, dismounted, and stood facing the direction of Hor, confronting Gyatsa who remained on horseback. Lawu's horse, overdriven by Gyatsa and with Gyatsa brandishing his sword before it, suddenly reared in fright, throwing the unprepared Gyatsa off. He landed directly on a spear point and was gravely wounded. As the prophecy "the bright full moon of the fifteenth falls upon the plain" foretold, he could not rise for a moment. Seeing the situation, Sinba thought to leave, but unexpectedly, Gyatsa summoned strength from somewhere. He hurled his treasured blade with force and shouted, "Sinba Meruze! I am done for. Better you give me a clean end! Then you can go claim merit and reward before the White Tent King!" But Meruze's eyes streamed with tears as he wept, "Must I truly exhaust all evil deeds? My heart has always yearned for the cause of the Great Lion King. Since following the White Tent King on this campaign, I have avoided conflict at every turn. I never imagined that today fate would demand I commit this evil against the Bumba King! Yet, it must be said, your Ling troops, insisting on sheer force, showed no restraint at all, ruining my lifelong aspirations." Saying this, he wept like a child. Hearing his words, Gyatsa felt a touch of solace. Since the war between the two armies began, Sinba had indeed consistently avoided conflict. That they had come to such a pass was simply the inescapable karma of them both! So, in a very gentle tone, he said, "Sinba Meruze! To starve rather than eat rotten chaff is the nature of the white-mouthed wild horse; to die of thirst rather than drink ditch water is the nature of the red-haired wild yak; to suffer unto death without shedding a tear is the character of a true man. There's no need for alarm; this is our destined lifespan! Who lives and who dies is still unknown, but neither of us wants to leave behind the reputation of a fox fleeing battle. Let us have one final archery contest and let fate decide victory!" Since fate had driven these two natural adversaries to such a point, despite his extreme reluctance, Sinba, with tears streaming, agreed. Gyatsa picked up a bow and arrows, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. He shot an arrow that struck the tassel atop Sinba's helmet without harming him in the least. When it was Meruze's turn to shoot, tears already blurred his vision. It seemed fate had decreed that no matter how he tried to avoid it, he must fulfill the tribulation of Lord Bumba's destined end. Helplessly, he silently called the name of the Great Lion King, sorrowfully thinking that his own destiny was originally to assist King Gesar in achieving great deeds, yet now he had become the enemy who killed the king's own brother. The arrow flew out and struck Lord Gyatsa squarely in the forehead. He stiffened, fell to the ground, and passed from this world. The Heavenly Mother Langman Gam believed that if Sinba did not sever Gyatsa's head and hang it on the golden roof of Yaze City, it would not ignite King Gesar's immense hatred. So, she transformed into the appearance of a demon deity, used a yellow thunderbolt treasured blade to cleave Gyatsa's body from his head, and spoke from the air: "Red-Armed Sinba! Take this enemy's head to boast before your foes and claim merit before your kin! Hang it on the golden roof of Yaze City, and the White Tent King will have his wish fulfilled!" While Sinba was still hesitating, Danma and Gade, seeing the ominous rainbow light, rushed over. Sinba had no choice but to hastily discard all his weapons and depart, taking only Gyatsa's head. Ling's Grief and a Vow of Vengeance The grievous news reached Ling, plunging all into mourning, a pain beyond words. Compounded by the abduction of Queen Zumu and the continued absence of the Great Lion King, the skies over Ling grew dark with despair! Upon hearing of Gyatsa's death, Chief Steward Rongtsa Chagen, Danma, and other Ling heroes rushed to the scene. The moment the Chief Steward saw Gyatsa's body, he let out a great cry and fainted. A long time passed before he regained consciousness. Rongtsa Chagen felt as if a knife were twisting in his heart, his aged face streaked with tears. Queen Zumu had been seized, Ling's treasures plundered, and now Gyatsa was slain—what face did the heroes of Ling have left to live in this world! "Detestable, hateful Yellow Hor people! Deserving of death and dismemberment, you Sinbas! What sins have you committed!" The gathered brothers could not hold back their tears. "To starve rather than eat rotten chaff is the nature of the white-mouthed wild horse; to die of thirst rather than drink ditch water is the nature of the red-haired wild horse; to suffer unto death without shedding a tear is the character of a true man. We heroes of Ling would rather die in battle than sigh or weep. We must rally our spirits and avenge Gyatsa!" The hero Danma's eyes blazed with fury, his words resolute and forceful. The heroes of Ling checked their tears. Danma waved his blade, and the brothers prepared to follow him in pursuit of the Hor army. King Senlun stopped them: "Halt, young men! Stop quickly. Gyatsa is already dead. Do you still wish to throw your lives away?" "No! Without killing the White Tent King, without killing Sinba Meruze, my rage, Danma's rage, will not be quelled." "We must go, King Senlun. Please wait here with the Chief Steward for news of our victory." The young warriors brandished their blades and spears, determined to chase and slay the Hor. "Which of you has martial skill surpassing Gyatsa's? Who among you is more valiant than Gyatsa?" The young men looked at each other, unable to answer. "Good, no one. In Ling, aside from Gesar, no one could match Gyatsa. Now Gyatsa is dead. Relying on you will not bring back the queen or recover the treasures." "Then, is it all over?" "No! This account is not settled. Our Great Lion King will return soon. Once he does, the White Tent King, the Yellow Tent King, the Black Tent King of Hor—none shall keep their lives." King Senlun patiently reasoned with the young men, for many men of Ling Gabu had already died. To continue such a reckless pursuit would not kill the Hor but would instead lead to ambushes and the same fate as Gyatsa. The grief-stricken Chief Steward Rongtsa Chagen nodded repeatedly. He agreed with King Senlun's stance, unable to bear seeing more young men of Ling die like Gyatsa. "This... this... this... how can I swallow this anger!" The hero Danma's eyes reddened with pent-up fury, his large fists clenched until they cracked. "Then let it be this way. We, uncles and nephews, shall each shoot an arrow toward the Hor city. Each arrow shall strike a target, letting the White Tent King understand that the heroes of our Ling Kingdom are as numerous as grass on the earth, sand on the riverbanks—impossible to kill off or exhaust." King Senlun proposed another idea. The heroes drew their bows and nocked arrows, each silently praying for heavenly aid. They would shoot their arrows directly into the palace where the White Tent King of Hor resided. The heroes sang: One arrow pierced your golden spire's crest, symbolizing the splitting of the celestial demon's skull; One arrow flew towards the yak-hair net of the treasure banner, symbolizing the suppression of the sky demon¹ to the earth; One arrow struck the joint of the flying eaves, symbolizing the command of the earth demon to serve; One arrow shattered the sun-facing window's glass mirror, symbolizing the scattering of the White Tent King's soul; One arrow shot straight into the royal palace, Symbolizing the plucking of the White Tent King's heart. The heroes will have their successors, Who will carve a path upon your snowy mountains, Who will dance the warhorse dance upon your vast plains, Who will reduce the thousand-peaked Yaze City to ashes, Who will sever the heads of all remaining Sinba, Who will place a horse's saddle upon the neck of you, White Tent King, Who will make the wild grasses across your land sing a mournful tune, Who will ensure the twelve tribes of Achin Never again have a place of peaceful dwelling... After this invocation, several arrows were loosed together. As if guided by the prayer, they struck precisely the places the heroes had intended. Although Danma's resentment was not fully quelled, his fury had subsided considerably.

Watching Zumu leave, Gesar was filled with regret. He thought about the long and desolate road back to Ling Gabu and how dangerous it was for her to travel alone. K i n g G e s a r of Tibet The Legend from ling King Gesar (about 1038-1119 AD) was a legendary Tibetan hero who was born in Dege County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Later generations called him King Gesar of Ling. According to legend, King Gesar is also the incarnation of the Guru Rinpoche and his wisdom, compassion and power. CHAPTER 27: TUIBAGAWA CAPTURES THE DEMON KINGDOM'S BEAUTY; ADANAMU TEACHES THE SECRET METHOD TO SUBDUE DEMONS Gesar's Worry for Zumu and the Goddess's Guidance Watching Zumu leave, Gesar was filled with regret. He thought about the long and desolate road back to Ling Gabu and how dangerous it was for her to travel alone. “If something were to happen to Zumu before I even rescue Meisa, how could I bear it?” he thought. Remembering Zumu’s love and kindness over the years made him even more sorrowful, and he couldn’t help but sing a song expressing his worry: “I stayed behind to fight the demons, Leaving my queen Zumu to return alone. The cold northern winds cut like knives, And the sun is already setting. Zumu’s clothes are as thin as silk, The fierce winds and snow will freeze her. The vast, desolate grasslands are empty, The cries of the mother deer will frighten her. On the high, rocky mountains, The roars of wild oxen will scare her.” As his heart grew heavy with worry, Gesar thought about turning back. “People often say that kind-hearted guides are rare, faithful friends are few, and loyal couples are hard to find. Zumu has been my loving wife for three years. Can I really abandon her just to save Meisa?” Just as Gesar was about to act on his thoughts, a voice rang out from the heavens, gentle yet commanding. It was the goddess Langman Gam, who had always appeared to guide Gesar in moments of difficulty. “Gesar,” she said, “did you forget your vow in the heavenly realm? You are not going north just for Meisa. More importantly, you are going to subdue the demons and save countless lives. This is your divine mission, your sacred promise, and the hope of all beings. You cannot turn back now. Do not hesitate—move forward. Zumu will be under my protection, and your seven spiritual allies will help guide her back to Ling Gabu safely.” The goddess’s words struck Gesar like a thunderbolt, clearing his mind. He knelt to the ground and prayed, expressing his gratitude to the goddess. Then he vowed: “I, the Lion King of Ling Gabu, Gesar, Will defeat the evil black demons! I will release arrows like lightning, Piercing the demon’s head and drinking its blood. I will cut the spirit of the demon, And free all beings from its evil lair.” With renewed determination, Gesar rode north faster than ever before, turning his longing for Zumu into strength. A journey that would have taken a year, he covered in a month; a month’s journey, he traveled in a day; and in one day, he covered the distance of a single meal. Gesar Meets the Demoness Adanamu One evening, as darkness began to fall, Gesar arrived at a heart-shaped mountain. At its peak stood a square fortress with banners of human corpses hanging on all four sides, creating a horrifying sight. Gesar suspected this might be the demon land. Regardless, he decided to rest there for the night. He dismounted and knocked on the heavy gate. With a creaking sound, the gate opened slightly. Out stepped a woman as beautiful as a goddess. She sang before speaking: “Only those seeking death come to the gates of the Rakshasa. Only foolish insects seek the ant nest. Stranger, where have you come from? Perhaps the heavens have sent me my dinner.” The woman then smirked and said, “Hey, you at the gate! Why have you come to our demon land? You look extraordinary, so I’ll spare your life for now. But if my brother Lutsan sees you, escaping will be impossible. Why are you still standing there? Run while you can!” Gesar did not move. Instead, he replied with a song: “I’ve come to subdue demons at the gates of the Rakshasa. Just as insects invade the ant’s lair, I, the Lion King Gesar, Will first subdue you, demon woman!” With that, Gesar stepped forward, grabbed the demoness by her collar, and pushed her to the ground. Her gold and silver jewelry scattered across the floor. Kneeling on her chest, Gesar drew his crystal dagger and sang: “I, the demon-subduing king, am blazing with fury! Your death has arrived, demoness! The red garuda flying high in the sky Feasts on the lowly black dragon. The lion atop the snowy mountains Subdues the jade dragon of the south. The striped tiger, king of the mountains, Keeps all wild beasts in check. The great whale of the ocean depths Feeds on other sea creatures. And this crystal dagger in my hand Will cut your heart and open your belly!” With his dagger pressed to her throat, Gesar demanded, “Speak! Who are you? Where is this place? And where can I find the black demon Lutsan?” Adanamu’s Assistance and Gesar’s Departure Faced with Gesar’s crystal dagger, the demoness knew she was no match for him and decided to tell the truth. “I am a demoness of the north, and my name is Adanamu. The black demon Lutsan is my brother. This is the border between Ling Gabu and the demon land, and my brother ordered me to guard it. Oh, Lion King Gesar, I have long admired your reputation, which echoes like the roar of a dragon across Jambudvipa. Just as a beautiful peacock loves the jade dragon, hearing your name fills my heart with joy. Gesar, you have stolen this maiden’s heart.” Hearing Adanamu’s confession, Gesar sheathed his dagger and asked, “Will you help me defeat the black demon Lutsan?” “I will do whatever you ask, my king!” she replied. “But he is your brother!” “Yes, but I am tired of living in this demon land. If you don’t mind, I will gladly become your devoted companion. You will never lack food or drink, for I can provide good tea and wine. You will never feel discomfort, for I have fine silk tents. And you will never worry, for I, Adanamu, will ease your troubles.” The sincerity of Adanamu’s words and her beauty deeply moved Gesar. Her flawless, radiant skin, graceful figure, and stunning features captivated him. Thus, Gesar and Adanamu became husband and wife. The two were inseparable—when Gesar went out, Adanamu accompanied him on horseback hunts; when they stayed home, she sang and danced for him. Time passed blissfully, but one day, Gesar was struck by a sudden realization: the demons were still undefeated, and he could not allow himself to stay here any longer. However, he worried that Adanamu might not let him leave. Without her help, defeating Lutsan would be far more difficult. Seeing Gesar’s growing restlessness, the clever Adanamu understood everything. She knew she could not keep him from fulfilling his mission, so she decided to help him. One day, she prepared a lavish feast, surprising Gesar. “My queen, what’s the occasion for such a grand banquet?” “It’s a farewell feast for you, my king,” Adanamu replied with a smile. “A farewell feast?” “Yes. How can you stay here in peace while Lutsan remains undefeated? Tonight, I will tell you the secrets of defeating him and help you secure victory.” “My queen…” Gesar was moved beyond words. He never expected Adanamu to be so understanding of his mission, prioritizing the greater good above all else. In his heart, he couldn’t help but think of Zumu, who had tried to stop him from coming north to fight the demons. Adanamu then said, “As you journey further north, you will face many more demons and countless challenges. Take this ring, and do exactly as I tell you. With this, you will surely succeed.” Adanamu removed the ring from her finger and solemnly handed it to Gesar, whispering instructions into his ear for a long time. Gesar nodded repeatedly, finally understanding the key to defeating Lutsan. With great reluctance, Gesar and Adanamu bid each other farewell. Following the path she had pointed out, Gesar set off on his journey to the demon land.

The demon who kidnapped Meza was Luzan, a powerful black demon king who lived in the northern land of Yar Kong in a magical palace with nine spires. This palace was located in the Eight Mountains, Four Ghost Lands, and the Cairanmubu Plain. K i n g G e s a r of Tibet The Legend from ling King Gesar (about 1038-1119 AD) was a legendary Tibetan hero who was born in Dege County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Later generations called him King Gesar of Ling. According to legend, King Gesar is also the incarnation of the Guru Rinpoche and his wisdom, compassion and power. Chapter 24: To Save Meisa, the Lion King Vows to Defeat the Demon; Wishing to Keep Her Husband, Zumu Offers Medicinal Wine The Demon King Lutsan The demon who kidnapped Meisa was Lutsan, a powerful black demon king who lived in the northern land of Yar Kong Demon Kingdom in a magical palace with nine spires. This palace was located in the Eight Mountains, Four Ghost Lands, and the Cairanmubu Plain. Lutsan was a terrifying figure, as tall as a mountain, with nine heads and eighteen horns growing from them. His body was covered in venomous black scorpions, and nine poisonous black snakes coiled around his waist. His hands and feet were armed with thirty-six iron claws, sharper and stronger than an eagle’s talons. When Lutsan was happy, his face looked fierce and murderous. When he was angry, he exhaled smoke from his mouth like a volcanic eruption, and his nose spewed toxic winds like a raging storm. Surrounding him were his loyal demon ministers and servants: the Outer Minister Dog Mouth Sheep Teeth, the Inner Minister Blood-Drinking Demon Boy, the Diplomatic Minister Winged Crow, the Administrative Minister Black-Tailed Male Wolf, the Witch All-Knowing Sorceress, the Maid Flower-Toothed Slave, the Guard Chanting Old Crone, and twenty-nine powerful wizards. Most fearsome of all were Lutsan’s father, the Black Strongman, and his sister, Adanamu, both of whom were unmatched warriors. On the seventh day of Gesar’s retreat, Lutsan was resting in his palace when Chao Tong, a rival of Gesar, sent him a secret letter. The letter revealed that King Gesar was in retreat and that Meisa had been left behind at home, making it the perfect time to invade Ling Gabu. When Lutsan read the letter, he grinned wickedly. He had long heard of the beauty of Ling Gabu’s thirteen queens, especially Meisa, who, apart from Zumu, was the most beautiful. The thought of possessing Meisa filled him with excitement he could no longer suppress. He gathered his demon ministers, flew on black clouds, and invaded Ling Gabu, kidnapping Meisa. By the time Gesar learned of this, Lutsan had already returned to his demon land. The Mother Goddess’s Call to Action Following the goddess Langman Gam’s prophecy, Gesar dedicated himself to practicing demon-subduing magic and martial arts. One day, Gesar went to the vast grasslands of Jue Ma Hai. He herded the horses to the right, the cattle to the left, and the sheep to the center. Feeling content, he lay in a circular sleeping position and drifted into a deep sleep. Suddenly, in the sky above, clouds swirled, rainbows gleamed, and the goddess Langman Gam appeared amidst the brilliant colors. Her divine presence dominated the three realms as she called out to Gesar, urging him to wake up. “The time to subdue the demon kings has come!” she declared. This was the moment Gesar had been waiting for. He immediately sought out his queen, Zumu, and told her about the goddess’s command: “Above, the snowy mountain crystal palace, The lion with jade-green mane is king of beasts. It subdues demons and evil with unmatched might. But beware, if it falls to the blue dragon, Its jade mane will be wasted. Below, in the sandalwood forest, The tiger with fiery stripes is king of the four-clawed beasts. Its stripes are its pride, But if it loses to the old dog in the village, Its stripes will bring it shame. In Ling Gabu's majestic palace, The Lion King shines in golden armor. You are the king of all beings, A hero who can subdue the four great demons. Look north to the demon land, The dying old demon is Lutsan. If you cannot defeat him, Even the golden armor will bring disgrace.” Gesar said to Zumu, “My beloved queen, I must head north to the demon land. Please take care of the palace.” Zumu’s Scheme and the Goddess’s Warning After Gesar shared his plans, he mounted his divine steed, Jang Gapeibu, and was ready to set off. But Zumu grabbed the reins and pleaded with him, “My king, my beloved! The white lion of the snowy mountains should display its power in the snowy peaks. The striped tiger of the forest should show its might in the woods. You, the Lion King of all beings, should demonstrate your strength here in Ling Gabu. Even though the goddess has given her decree, there’s no need to rush. Eat some sweets, drink some wine, and you won’t feel hungry or thirsty on the journey.” As she spoke, Zumu helped Gesar off his horse and offered him sweets and fine aged wine. Unbeknownst to Gesar, Zumu had secretly added a potion to the wine that would make him forget his mission. After finishing the food and drink, Gesar succumbed to the effects of the potion, fell into a deep sleep, and completely forgot about going to the northern demon land to battle Lutsan. Days passed. On a bright full moon night, the goddess Langman Gam appeared again in Gesar’s palace. At that moment, Gesar and Zumu were sound asleep in bed. The goddess leaned close to Gesar’s ear and whispered, “Gesar, O Lion King, it is not right for you to remain idle in leisure. The day to subdue the demons and rescue Meisa has arrived. If you continue to delay, you will lose the chance to defeat the demons and be humiliated instead.” Gesar sat up with a start, but the goddess had already disappeared, leaving behind her melodious voice echoing in the air: The Lion King of the snowy mountains, Must show his emerald mane when it is full. The striped tiger of the great forest, Must reveal its vibrant patterns when ready. The golden-eyed fish of the deep sea, Must display its six fins when complete. The Lion King of Dazi Palace, Must demonstrate his courage and strength. If you fail to heed my words today, The people of Ling Gabu will suffer great loss. Gesar rubbed his eyes and suddenly remembered the goddess’s earlier instructions. He realized that his indulgence in wine had caused him to forget his important mission. Seeing Zumu sound asleep beside him, Gesar decided not to wake her, to avoid further delays or arguments.
