We met up with Tanzong’s other monk friends in a clearing in the forest. Tanzong and Li Shimin began to scratch out plans on the ground with a stick.

“Wang’s supplies come through here,” Li Shimin said. “We will block them. If he has no weapons, he cannot fight.”

Tanzong nodded.

Fred, Anna, and I sat nearby with The Book open so we could talk to Sam.

“So, is Li Shimin going to rule all of China?” I asked Sam.

“Actually,” Sam said, “his older brother is in line for the throne first. But from what I’ve been reading in here, Li beat him to it by…getting rid of him.” Sam ran a finger across his neck and made a face.

“Whoa! His own brother,” I said. Talk about sibling rivalry.

“But,” Sam continued, “Li Shimin does go on to unify the country, and China really prospers under him. Arts, education—you name it.”

Tanzong walked over. “Thank you again for helping to rescue our general. If there’s anything you need—”

“You can show me that arrow-catching stuff,” Fred said.

“Such things are not for young children,” Tanzong replied. “It takes many years of study to master the art of kung fu.”

“Man, I knew you’d say that,” Fred said.

“What we really need,” Anna said, “is someone to help us get our friend out of this book.”

Tanzong thought for a moment. “Hmmm,” he said. “That is a very difficult problem. For this you need someone skilled in the magic arts. Someone very wise and powerful.”

“Got any ideas?” I asked.

“There is only one man in all of China who can help you,” Tanzong said.

Fred, Anna, and I followed Tanzong’s eyes as he gazed off to a distant mountain peak.

Something told me this magic man would not be easy to find.
