Chapter 2 - Floating Corpses on the Ocean
The shi+p dropped its anchor, just like it was moored above the water
Chu Liuxiang carefully squeezed the leeon He had just finished one pigeon and drank half a cup of wine, when sure enough, another corpse was floating by
This corpse earing scarlet short gown, the length barely reached the knees Although the face was bloated due to being soaked in seawater for a long time, it could still be seen that he had a fair and clear coh there was a small beard under his chin, there was no wrinkle on the corner of his eyes His left palht palh; the muscles and bones were prominent, and was nearly double the size of his left hand When the pally the color was the same as his clothes
Li Hongxiu's pair of bright and beautiful liht to it; startled, she said, ”Who could have thought that this ' [killer/assassin scholar], Ximen Qian!”
Chu Liuxiang sighed and said, ”He killed Zuo Youzheng, yet he also died under other people's hands”
”But who killed hixiu muttered
Finished speaking, she noticed a wound under this Ximen Qian's Adam's apple The blood has been washed away by the seawater; the ash gray skin and flesh was rolled out on both sides Exhaling slowly, Li Hongxiu said, ”This is sound”
”Oh?” Chu Liuxiang said
Li Hongxiu said, ”The wound is less than a cun [a unit of length, approx an inch] In the Wulin world, only 'Hainan' and 'Laoshan', two big sword schools' disciples use such a narroord”
”That's right,” Chu Liuxiang said
Li Hongxiu said, ”Although those two sects, Hainan and Laoshan, are not too far froh the generations is orthodox, moderate and extensive This Xih by one sword strike; presumably the sword technique is ruthless and treacherous, which is the forte of Hainan's swordser”
Frowning, Chu Liuxiang asked, ”Why is it strange?”
Li Hongxiu replied, ”Not only Hainan Jian Pai [sword sect] has neither grievances nor enmity with Zhusha Men [cinnabar school, (sic) it was shi+ Sha Men (Corpse Sand School) in Chapter 1], they have a rather close relationshi+p Eight years ago, Zhusha Men was besieged by Seven Sword of Minnan [southern Fujian] Making light of traveling a thousand li, Hainan Pai rushed over to help But now a lao [Elder] of Zhusha Men What's going on here? I really don't understand”
Chu Liuxiangdied under Ximen Qian's hands, Ximen Qian also somehow died under Hainan Pai disciple … I wonder what secret lies behind all these?”
S again?”
Chu Liuxiang laughed and said, ”Didn't you just say that I a to do so that you can see”
Li Hongxiu said, ”But apparently the implication of this erous, plus these past couple of days Rong Jie [elder sister] is ill I'll say we do not meddle in this matter!”
Chu Liuxiang s in, theit is The wider the implication of this secret, the value of the h How could I not care about this kind of matter?”
Li Hongxiu sighed and said, ”I know that if you do not uncover this secret, you won't be able to sleep Ay! You! You seem to be born precisely to meddle in other people's business”
She suddenly broke into laughter and said, ”Fortunately thisup a needle frohtest bit of clue Even if you want to meddle in other people's business, I am afraid you won't be able to do so”
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, ”You just wait and see, the clues will co a , he leaned on the shi+p's railing to chew
Sxiu said, ”I really admire your appetite, you can still eat at time like this” Unconsciously she also walked over to the railing and cast her gaze to the distant horizon
Sure enough, another dead body was floating on the sea; surprisingly it was a Taoist priest, wearing green robe, with swarthy coh his li ti half of a broken sword The sword's body was long and narrow; it was still flickering under the bright sunlight, e on his head, where the bun of hair was disheveled
The top of his head was chopped that it split in half
Even Li Hongxiu had to turned her head around, she could not bear to look
Chu Liuxiang said, ”He is indeed a disciple of Hainan Jian Pai”
”You … you knew hixiu asked
Chu Liuxiang spoke slowly, ”He was one of the Three Swords of Hainan, Lingjiu Zi [lit quick/spirited vulture] His swordsmanshi+p was ruthless and vicious In today's Wulin world, I am afraid only a few can be compared to him”
Li Hongxiu sighed and said, ”With one sword strike he pierced other people's throat, unexpectedly his own head was chopped into two halves by someone else”
She could not refrain fro from his condition, when that person's sword cut down, he e, so he could only block it with his oord; ould have thought that thatsword, the residual h to chop his head into two Hainan Pai's swords are all made of refined seabed's cold iron, yet this person is able to cut it with one sword strike Ay … such a sharp sword, such a heavy sword!”
