Chapter 2 The second sea floating corpse

The ship has dropped anchor and is just moored on the water. Chu Liuxiang carefully squeezed the lemon juice on the pigeons. Just after eating a pigeon and drinking half a glass of wine, another dead body floated in the sea. The corpse was wearing a scarlet short gown, which was only knee-length. Although the face had been soaked in the sea for a long time, it still looked fair and clean. It was only about forty years old. Although there was a slight beard under the chin, there were no wrinkles at the corners of the eyes. , his left palm is also slender and white, but the other palm is extremely rough, with protruding muscles and bones, almost twice the size of the left palm, and when it is spread out, it is the same color as his clothes.

Li Hongxiu looked straight at her bright eyes, and said in surprise, "I never thought this person would be the 'killer scholar' Ximen Qian!" Chu Liuxiang sighed: "He killed Zuo Youzheng, but he himself died at the hands of others." Li Hongxiu murmured: "But who killed him?" After she finished speaking, she saw the wound on Ximen Qian's Adam's apple, the blood had been washed away by the sea water, and the gray-white flesh rolled to the sides.Li Hongxiu sighed, and said: "This is a sword wound." Chu Liuxiang said: "Yes!" Li Hongxiu said: "The wound is only one inch. In the world of martial arts, only the disciples of the two major sword sects 'Hainan' and 'Laoshan' will use such a narrow sword."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Not bad." Li Hongxiu said: "Although the Hainan and Laoshan factions are not far from here, the Laoshan faction's swordsmanship is authentic, peaceful and profound. This Ximen Qian was pierced through the throat with a sword. It must be because the swordsmanship is known for its spicy and treacherous swordsmanship." The poisonous hands of Hainan swordsmen... this is even more strange." Chu Liuxiang frowned and said, "Strange?" Li Hongxiu said: "Hainan Sword Sect and Zhushamen not only have no grievances, but also have a long history. Eight years ago when Zhushamen was besieged by the Southern Fujian Seven Swords, the Hainan Sect traveled thousands of miles to help, but now the Hainan Sword What’s going on with the masters sent to kill the elders of the Cinnabar Sect? It’s really incomprehensible.”

Chu Liuxiang murmured: "Zuo Youzheng died at the hands of Ximen Qian for no reason, and Ximen Qian died in the hands of the Hainan School in a muddle... What's the secret in all of this?" Li Hongxiu smiled sweetly and said, "You want to meddle in other people's business again?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Aren't you saying that I'm too lazy? I just found something to show you." Li Hongxiu said: "But it seems that the involvement in this matter must be very extensive, it must be very dangerous, and Sister Rong has been ill for the past two days, I think we should leave this matter alone!"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "The more sinister and nosy, the more interesting it is to manage. The more extensive the secret, the value of the things involved must be extremely high. Can I ignore this kind of thing?" Li Hongxiu sighed: "I know that if you don't reveal this secret, you won't even be able to fall asleep. Alas! You, you seem to be born to meddle in other people's business." She suddenly smiled again, and said: "Fortunately, this matter is like finding a needle in a haystack. Up to now, there is still no clue. If you want to meddle in this business, I'm afraid you won't be able to."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Just wait and see, the clues will naturally become more and more." After taking a sip of wine, he tore off another chicken leg and leaned on the side of the boat to chew. Li Hongxiu smiled wryly: "I really admire your appetite, you can still eat now." She also walked to the side of the boat unknowingly, staring into the depths of the sea and sky. Sure enough, another dead body floated from the sea, it turned out to be a green-robed Taoist with a black face and curly beard, with a tall and tall figure.Although his limbs had already cooled down, he still held the half-cut sword tightly in his hand. The sword was long and narrow, and it was still shining. The bisensen sword light shone on his head with a disheveled bun.

The top of his head had been split in half. Even Li Hongxiu turned his face away, unable to bear to look any further. Chu Liuxiang said: "Sure enough, he is a disciple of the Hainan Sword Sect." Li Hongxiu said: "You...you recognize him?" Chu Liuxiang said slowly: "This person is the vulture son of the Hainan Three Swords. His swordsmanship is so vicious that there are very few people in the martial arts world today who can match it." Li Hongxiu sighed: "He pierced someone's throat with a sword, and he didn't want his own head to be cut in half by someone else."

She couldn't help but looked back, and said: "Look at the situation, when the man cuts down with his sword, he must have been unable to dodge, so he can only face the sword to parry, who knows that the man's sword not only cuts off His long sword cut his head in two with the power left. The Hainan school swords are all made of cold iron under the sea. This man can cut it off with a single sword. Alas... what a sharp sword, Such a heavy sword." Chu Liuxiang said: "How do you know that his opponent is also using a sword?" Li Hongxiu said: "Who among the masters of swordsmanship in today's martial arts can force Lingjiuzi, whose swordsmanship is so pungent and vicious, to the point where he can't even dodge... Hainan Sword School has never had hard-to-break moves, if he hadn't been forced Helpless, how can you meet the sword to parry someone else's head-on knife?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded and said: "That's right, the change of the sword technique is indeed not as quick and agile as the sword technique. If the sword wielder wants to force the sword wielder to be inescapable, it is indeed very difficult." He smiled slightly and continued, "But are you going to forget someone too?" Li Hongxiu's eyes lit up, and said: "If what you said is 'Wuying Shendao' Zamuhe, you are wrong." Chu Liuxiang said: "Why did you make a mistake?" Li Hongxiu said: "Zamuhe is known as the number one master of swordsmanship in China. His swordsmanship is fast and invisible. When he slashed down with his sword, Lingjiuzi might not have seen where it came from. Naturally, only Yingjian Parry, and the 'Great Wind Knife' that Zamuheshi has is one of the thirteen magical weapons in the country, and it is enough to cut off the Hainan faction sword."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Isn't this all it is?" Li Hongxiu smiled and said: "But don't you forget that Zamuhe has been in the Gobi Desert for thirty years, so how could he be known as the 'King of the Desert' come here?" Chu Liuxiang smiled slowly: "You said no, but I said yes." Li Hongxiu blinked and said, "You want to bet with me?" Chu Liuxiang said: "I won't bet with you, because you are bound to lose." I just heard a person in the cabin say with a sweet smile: "You bet, whoever loses will help me wash the dishes for half a month."

Li Hongxiu scolded with a smile: "Little devil, you are eavesdropping." Song Tian'er giggled and said, "Although I dare not look at it, I dare to listen to it." Li Hongxiu turned to Chu Liuxiang, and said: "Hey! Look at this little brat, she is so shrewd in her calculations, she has taken all the advantages of the world by herself." Chu Liuxiang was leaning on the side of the boat in a daze, as if she didn't hear her words. Li Hongxiu walked over and said, "What are you waiting for? Waiting for Zamuhe?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Maybe..." Li Hongxiu smiled and said: "You can't wait, this 'king of the desert' will not come, even if he does come, no one can kill him." Chu Liuxiang said: "Ximen Qian and Zuo Youzheng had little contact, why did you kill Zuo Youzheng? Lingjiuzi and Youmenqian had no enmity, why did you kill Ximenqian? Zamuhe and Lingjiuzi are far away in the sky, It doesn't matter if one is far away, so why kill the vulture?" He sighed, and continued: "It can be seen that there are many things in the world that are completely uncertain." At this time, it was already westward, more than two hours had passed since the discovery of the first corpse, and there were already three corpses lying on the deck. And the fourth corpse came again. Other corpses floated up and down on the water, but this corpse was like an inflated raft, and the whole body was completely floating on the water. Li Hongxiu dared to look at other corpses at least twice, but for this corpse, Li Hongxiu only glanced at it once, his whole body trembled, and he didn't dare to look at it again. Chu Liuxiang couldn't tell whether the corpse was fat or thin, because the whole body of the corpse was swollen and even started to rot. This corpse was always missing, Chu Liuxiang couldn't see it anymore.It's just because his beard, hair and hair all over his body have fallen off. His eyeballs were bulging and protruding, and the skin all over his body had turned into a disgusting dark red color. Chu Liuxiang never dared to touch a finger of him again. Li Hongxiu said in a trembling voice: "It's so poisonous, I'll ask Sister Rong to come up and see what kind of poison it is." Chu Liuxiang said: "This Du Rongrong can't recognize it either." Li Hongxiu said: "You're bragging again, although your martial arts are good, but when it comes to hidden weapons, you may not be able to compare with Tian'er, and when it comes to disguise skills and poisoning skills, you are definitely not as good as Sister Rong." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "But the people among them are not all poisonous." Li Hongxiu giggled and said, "It's not poison, is it sugar?" Chu Liuxiang said: "It can also be regarded as sugar...sugar water." Li Hongxiu was startled, and said, "Tang water?" Chu Liuxiang said: "This is the elite extracted from the water of Tianchi's "Shenshui Palace". All the rivers and lakes call it "Tianyi Shenshui", and the disciples of "Shenshui Palace" call it heavy water." Li Hongxiu was moved and said: "Is this really the 'Tianyi Shenshui' that is more poisonous than any poison in the world?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Of course it is true. It is said that one drop of this 'Tianyi Shenshui' is heavier than three hundred barrels of water. As long as an ordinary person takes one drop, his whole body will explode and die immediately!" He sighed, and continued: "Moreover, this 'Tianyi Shenshui' has five colors and no odor, and there is no abnormality after trying it. Therefore, even the 'King of the Desert' will inevitably fall into the trap." Li Hongxiu said: "This... this person is Jamuhe?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Yes!" Li Hongxiu said: "He has become like this, how can you still recognize him?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Although he is wearing ordinary clothes, he wears leather boots on his feet. It is obvious that he is a nomad. Although his skin is delicate, his face is very rough. It is obviously because he travels to and from the desert. After a long time of suffering, although there is a steel ring for the saber around his waist, the saber and the scabbard are all gone, obviously it was because he was using a precious saber that someone took it away." He slowly continued: "With these characteristics, it can be said that he is the 'king of the desert, shadowless sword' Jamuhe." Li Hongxiu said: "I think you can change your career to go to police patrol, then you must handle the case much better than the number one catcher of 'Vulture' in the world that day." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Also, there is a silver medal on his body, engraved with a flying camel with wings, if I can't see that he is the king of the desert, I will be an idiot." Li Hongxiu couldn't help but chuckled, and said, "You are really a child genius." But her smile disappeared immediately, and she frowned and said: "This incident actually attracted the 'Desert King' and the 'Shenshui Palace'. It can be seen that there must be a lot of relationship, and now even the 'Desert King' is dead, so it can be seen... " Chu Liuxiang cut off her words, and said with a smile: "You want to persuade me to stop again, don't you?" Li Hongxiu sighed softly: "I don't want to persuade you to stop, I just hope you can be more careful." Chu Liuxiang stared at a white cloud in the sky, and said with a smile: "I heard that all the people under the door of the 'Shenshui Palace' are stunning in the world, but I don't know how it compares to our three girls?" Li Hongxiu shook his head and smiled wryly, "Could it be that you will never be able to behave yourself?" This time, nearly an hour passed, but there was still no movement at sea. Li Hongxiu said leisurely: "I'm afraid you won't be able to wait any longer." Chu Liuxiang said: "If no one dies, then this matter will fall on the envoy of the 'Shenshui Palace'. If these people are fighting for a treasure, then this treasure will fall on the envoy of the 'Shenshui Palace' .” Li Hongxiu said: "What if there are dead people?" Chu Liuxiang said: "No matter how many people are still dead, as long as we see who killed the last person, there will be clues to find." Li Hongxiu sighed: "Could it be true that these masters will die fighting for the treasure?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "People die for money, these people are always human!" Li Hongxiu gazed into the distance, and said slowly: "It must be amazing to be able to induce so many peerless masters to create greedy treasures." It was indeed getting more and more interesting, and there was a twinkle in her eye. Song Tian'er from the cabin shouted again: "Do you two know that Sister Rong has a cousin who assists the 'Shenshui Palace'?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Oh, Rongrong actually has a cousin who is a member of the 'Shenshui Palace'? In the past two days, I don't know if she is feeling better? I wonder if she still has a runny nose?" Li Hongxiu smiled and said, "You want her to come up?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Forget it, people with a cold should lie down more." Only one person said softly: "It's okay, my illness is almost cured anyway, as long as I hear you say this, I..." Song Tian'er said loudly again: "Sister Rong, don't be fooled by him, he knows you are here, so he deliberately said something about you for you to listen to." The gentle voice said with a smile: "Even if he said it on purpose, as long as he said it, I will be very happy." A slender figure floated up following the voice. She was wearing a soft and voluminous gown, which was dragged long on the deck, covering her feet. The setting sun was all over the sky, reflecting her loose bun, her clear eyes, and her gentle smile, She looks like a fairy in the sky, who has been out of the world for a long time. Li Hongxiu stomped his feet and said, "Sister Rong, the wind is so strong, why come up? Be careful and fall ill on the bed and can't get up, and let our sentimental young master vent his anger on us." Su Rongrong said sweetly: "It's so lively up there, can I still stay in the cabin? Besides, I also want to see if there will really be envoys from the 'Shenshui Palace' coming here." She held a thick fleece dress in her hand, draped it lightly on Chu Liuxiang's body, and said softly: "It's cold at night, be careful of catching cold." Chu Liuxiang said with a smile: "You always only care about others, but you don't know yourself... If you care about yourself, how can you fall ill?" Li Hongxiu curled his lips and said, "That's right! People like us who don't get sick never care about him." Su Rongrong patted her face lightly, and said with a smile: "With so much heart, it's easy for people to grow old." Li Hongxiu hugged her tightly, and said with a giggle, "I'm such a jealous and jealous little villain, why does Sister Rong still treat me so well?" Su Rongrong's slender body was actually hugged by her. At this moment, the fifth body floated over. Strictly speaking, this can no longer be regarded as "a" corpse - the left side of this corpse has been chopped off in half including the shoulder and arm. Fortunately, her face was still intact, and her graceful and beautiful face could still be seen. It seemed that this cruel murderer couldn't bear to destroy her beauty. She was wearing a beautiful gauze dress with a silver ribbon around her waist, and a pair of silver shoes of the same material on her slender feet. At this moment, the remaining half of the gauze was already stained with blood, if it wasn't for the ribbon, it might have been washed away by the sea water—if so, her body looked almost completely naked. Su Rongrong turned her head, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. Li Hongxiu also closed her eyes and said, "Sister Rong, do you think she is a member of the 'Shenshui Palace'?" Su Rongrong nodded sadly. Chu Liuxiang sighed: "Such a beauty, who would have the heart to do such a cruel thing to her?" Li Hongxiu said: "The person who made such a murderous hand died himself." Chu Liuxiang said: "You mean Zamuhe?" Li Hongxiu said: "Of course it's Zamuhe. Besides him, who else has such a fast knife?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Yes!" Li Hongxiu said: "Zamuhe found out that he was poisoned, and before he died, he tried his best to give her a knife. Naturally, he was full of resentment, that's why this knife was so poisonous and heavy." Chu Liuxiang said leisurely: "It sounds completely unreasonable." Li Hongxiu sighed, and said: "Now, all the clues have been cut off, and we are fine." Chu Liuxiang said: "Are you all right?" Li Hongxiu said: "Everyone is dead, what else is there?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Do you think she really died at the hands of Jamuhe?" Li Hongxiu rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Don't forget that after Zamuhe's death, his 'Great Wind Knife' fell into the hands of others, and this man took the 'Great Wind Knife' to kill her, just to let others think that this matter is over. It's all over." Li Hongxiu lost his voice: "Ah! Not bad." Chu Liuxiang said slowly: "Since he wants others to think that this matter is over, then this matter must not be over. From my point of view, this matter has not yet begun!" Su Rongrong suddenly said: "He doesn't want others to intervene in this matter, does he?" Li Hongxiu said: "Then why didn't he completely destroy these corpses, if others can't see these corpses clearly, how can they get involved?" Chu Liuxiang smiled slightly, and said: "These people are all well-known people in the world, and they can even be said to have the identity of suzerain. If they suddenly disappear together, don't their disciples go and find out?" Su Rongrong frowned and said, "So..."
