Bu Kek Siansu無極先師 is the first episode that opens the fictional saga series by the great Indonesian martial arts author Kho Ping Hoo. The title of the story is the nickname of the protagonist, Kwa Sin Liong柯神龍. He is said to have been called the "Miracle Child" (Sin Tong神童) in his childhood because at a very young age he had the knack of curing various diseases. His habit of drying himself in the morning sun and under the full moon strengthened his bones and purified his blood, which attracted the interest of the martial grandfathers to take him on as a disciple. The struggle over the boy prodigy Kwa Sin Liong, the only child of the Kwa Family in Kun-Leng city, was eventually won by Prince Han Ti Ong韓治翁. A royal-born sage who resided in a near-fabled place in the North Sea, known among kangouw (river-ponds) as Ice Island.
Kwa Sin Liong became the heir to Ice Island after the kingdom ruled by Han Ti Ong was wiped out by a massive flood (tsunami?). Because of his immeasurable martial arts skills and philosophy, he was later nicknamed Bu Kek Siansu and was legendary as a demigod. He had a habit of passing down one type of martial arts every early spring, regardless of who was lucky enough to receive his guidance, misguided or upright.
But officially Bu Kek Siansu only had three disciples, namely Kwee Seng郭勝, Kam Bu Song甘武松 and Kam Han Ki甘寒枝. Other characters who were lucky enough to receive clues from him although not directly include Maya and Khu Siauw Bwee邱小妹. This legendary character last appeared in kangouw in the Ice Island Palace episode.
