Kunlun Nu
Kunlun Nu (, "The kunlun Slave" or "The Negrito Slave") is a wuxia romance written by Pei Xing (裴铏, 825–880) during the Tang Dynasty. The hero of the tale is a Negrito slave that uses his supernatural physical abilities to save his master's lover from the harem of a court official.
==Plot==
It takes place during the ''Dali'' reign era (766-80) of Emperor Daizong and follows the tale of a young man named Cui who enlists the aid of Mo Le,〔Prof. Liu states "This is the modern pronunciation. The T’ang pronunciation was something like 'Mua-lak' and is said to have been taken from Arabic." (Liu 1967: 88).〕 his negrito slave, to help free his beloved who was forced to join the harem of a court official. At midnight, Mo Le kills the guard dogs around the compound and carries Cui on his back while easily jumping to the tops of walls and bounding from roof to roof. With the lovers reunited, Mo-lê leaps over ten tall walls with both of them on his back. Cui and his beloved are able to live happily together in peace because the official believes she was kidnapped by Youxia and did not want to make trouble for himself by pursuing them. However, two years later, one of the official’s attendants sees the girl in the city and reports this. The official arrests Cui and, once he hears the entire story, sends men to capture the negrito slave. But Mo Le escapes with his dagger (apparently his only possession) and flies over the city walls to escape apprehension. He is seen over ten years later selling medicine in the city, not having aged a single day.〔Liu, James J.Y. ''The Chinese Knight Errant.'' London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1967 (ISBN 0-2264-8688-5)〕
