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.
