Chapter 12 Chapter 12: Chu Liuxiang's Secret

The boat that Chu Liuxiang took was still there, like a little beetle whose feet were tied up by a child with silk thread, dragged behind by this warship with a long rope. The golden waves on the sea are shining, and there are already colorful clouds in the sky. It was the little girl with long legs who sent Chu Liuxiang to the deck all the time. Chu Liuxiang couldn't help asking her: "Is your general really willing to let me go like this?" "of course it's true." The long-legged little girl pursed her lips and smiled, "She doesn't want that leopard to kill you, and she doesn't want it to be killed by you, so why keep you?"

Chu Liuxiang looked at Jin Bo on the sea in a daze, and sighed: "She is such a happy woman." "She's always been like this. She's not only cheerful, but also generous. As long as she invites guests, she never returns empty-handed." "Did she prepare any gifts for me to take away?" "Not only did she prepare it long ago, but she also prepared three kinds, but you can only choose one." "Which three?" "The first one is emeralds and pearls worth 800,000 taels." "She's so generous." "The second is enough Persian wine and wind chicken jerky to keep you eating and drinking for half a month, and a big bucket of water."

Chu Liuxiang looked at the endless sea, and couldn't help sighing again: "She's really thoughtful." The warship was far away, so this gift was undoubtedly what he needed the most. He could no longer choose another gift, but he couldn't help but ask, "What's the third gift?" "A man who is almost dead, almost dead." Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly. He really didn't expect that happy woman would give him such an unpleasant choice. Now the three gifts have been brought out, the pearls are dazzling, the wine and food are fragrant, and the person is really dying.

This dying person turned out to be the arrogant and arrogant Bai Yunsheng. The long-legged girl suddenly lowered her voice and told Chu Liuxiang quietly: "The general knows that you will definitely choose the second one, because you are a very smart person." "Oh?" "But the general said, if you choose jewelry, then you are not only greedy, but also stupid, and even she will be very disappointed in you." "What if I choose the third one?" "Then you're not human at all, you're a stupid pig." The girl with long legs asked Chu Liuxiang, "Which one do you choose?"

Chu Liuxiang looked at her, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "May I tell you a secret?" He whispered in her ear, "I'm not a human, I'm a pig." On the river, this boat can already be regarded as a very grand boat. Once it reaches the sea, it will be finished. In the ruthless waves, this boat is like a bug in the hands of a beggar, and it may be crushed to pieces at any time. Of course Chu Liuxiang understood this, but he didn't even think about it. Of course there would be no food or water on board, and as for wine, let alone talk about it. You can't die without wine, but without water, no one can live for seven days.

Chu Liuxiang is not ignorant of this, but it seems like she doesn't know it at all. Why think about things that are useless even if you think about them? Why do you need to know something that will cause you pain and trouble if you know it? No matter how dangerous and harsh the environment is, all he thinks about are things that can make him feel happy, can lift his spirits; can make him feel that life is still full of hope. So he is still alive, and he will always live a much happier life than others. Bai Yunsheng's face was originally pale, but now it was even more terribly pale, as if he had been poisoned by some strange poison, or suffered some severe internal injury, so sometimes he fainted and sometimes he woke up.

This time when he was awake, Chu Liuxiang was laughing, as if he remembered something that could make him happy. Bai Yunsheng's energy could no longer make him talk a lot, but he still couldn't help but say: "You seem very happy." "seems like it." "I can't figure out, what else can make you so happy now?" "At least we're alive now." For Chu Liuxiang, being alive is already a very happy thing, but for Bai Yunsheng it is different. "Although we are still alive, we are just waiting to die. What is there to be happy about?"

No matter how you look at it, these two people are completely different people, and they can even be said to be two extremes. The strange thing is that there seems to be a very strange similarity between these two people, and it can also be said to be a strange tacit understanding. Bai Yunsheng never asked Chu Liuxiang: "Why didn't you choose the food and water you needed, and instead saved me?" Because this kind of thing does not need to be explained, nor can it be explained. Chu Liuxiang never asked Bai Yunsheng: "You and Bao Ji belong to Shi Tianwang, why did she treat you in this way?"

Because this kind of thing can be explained, but there are too many ways to explain it. Princess Jade Sword is probably the most important key. One wants to protect her, one wants to kill her, one wants to fulfill her marriage with Shi Tianwang, and one is unwilling to die. It was only logical that Bao Ji wanted to put Bai Yun's life to death. No matter what, now these two extremely different people have been arranged together under an incredible arrangement. If he dies, someone else must die too. If he lives, another person can live too. The sky is getting dark, and no one knows whether they can survive until sunrise tomorrow.No one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Few people in this world would associate the desert with the ocean. The ocean is vivid, magnificent, beautiful, full of vitality, and makes people open-minded and passionate. There are many people who love the ocean as much as they love life. What about the desert? No one likes the desert, and no one who has been to the desert will want to go there a second time. However, if a person can really understand the ocean and the desert equally, he will find that these two seemingly different places actually have many similarities. They are all equally ruthless, both can make human beings feel the insignificance and humbleness of life, and are also full of changes that are completely unbearable to human beings.In such a change, human life will immediately become as fragile as an eggshell under a hammer.

In a way, the ocean is even more violent and cruel than the desert, and it also carries a kind of ruthless mockery of human beings. ——Although the sea water is green and lovely, more people may die of thirst on the sea than on the desert. A man who lacks potable water, whether in the desert or at sea, has only one thing to do. —Wait, wait to die. This time Chu Liuxiang didn't die, was it because a miracle happened. Miracles rarely happen. This time he didn't die, just because someone saved him. A person no one can imagine. A few months later, on a warm spring evening, on a hillside full of oleanders and rhododendrons, Hu Tiehua suddenly thought of this, so she asked Chu Liuxiang, "How did you not die that time?" ?” "Because someone saved me." "At that time, in that place, who will save you?" "You will never think of it." Chu Liuxiang smiled mysteriously: "Even I can't think of it myself." "Who is that person?" Hu Tiehua was a little anxious: "You must not ask me to guess this time. I have guessed for three months and haven't figured it out. Do you really want me to die?" "Okay, I'll tell you this time." Chu Liuxiang said, "The person who saved me that time was the pockmark who wanted to be searched." Hu Tiehua was stunned. "She saved you? How could she save you?" Hu Tiehua not only couldn't figure it out, but also couldn't believe it. Chu Liuxiang said lightly: "This matter is actually very simple." He told Hu Tiehua: "She saved me only because I threw her into the sea." The more Hu Tiehua listened, the more confused he became, but the more Chu Liuxiang spoke, the more complacent he became. "She wants to search for me, so of course I also want to search for her, but for a woman like her, I'm really not interested in touching her, so I used a very special method." "What method?" "I lifted her feet first, and shook out everything on her body." "and then?" "Then I just touched the fish by hand, and touched a few of the more special things. One of them is a round iron cylinder like a sleeve arrow." "It was this cylinder that saved you?" "that is." "How can a small cylinder save a man from the sea?" "Other cylinders can't, but this cylinder can." "What the hell is this cylinder?" "It's not a ghost thing, it's just a flag flower rocket." Chu Liuxiang smiled! "When Bai Yunsheng saw me take out that cylinder, the expression on his face was more happy than when you saw 1,200 altars of old wine." He said: "If a person can see his own It's enough to see that expression on a friend's face once in a lifetime." Hu Tiehua kept sighing: "I know that you have always been very lucky, but I still didn't expect your luck to be so good." "It's not luck." "It's not luck! Did you know that the cylinder was the signal used to call for help when Shi Tianwang's subordinates were in distress?" "I have no idea." "So what is this if it's not luck?" "It's just a little bit of wisdom, a little bit of prudence, a little bit of mindful habit, and a little bit of technique and technique." Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose, blinked and smiled, "Besides that, there is one more thing that is absolutely indispensable." "what?" "Luck, of course it's luck." Chu Liuxiang said with a straight face again, "Aside from luck, is there anything else?" Just when Hu Tiehua was so angry that he almost spit out the sip of wine he just drank from his nose, Chu Liuxiang continued to talk about his adventure again. "Not long after we sent out the signal, a group of fishing boats came and rescued us to an isolated island. There was only one fishing village on the island, and the residents were all fishermen. It looked no different from other fishing villages." Chu Liuxiang showed that mysterious expression again: "But I met a few strange people in that fishing village. I would never expect to meet them in that kind of place." "Who are they?" "Hu Kaishu, Situ Ping, Jin Zhenjia and Li Dun." Each of the names that Chu Liuxiang uttered was shocking. Hu Tiehua was also taken aback: "What are these great heroes and warriors doing in that small fishing village?" "I don't think they are going to eat fish." Chu Liuxiang deliberately asked Hu Tiehua: "What do you think?" This time Hu Tiehua seemed to become wiser suddenly: "Could it be that the fishing village is one of Shi Tianwang's strongholds at sea? Could it be that those heroes all went for Shi Tianwang?" Chu Liuxiang sighed: "For a smart person like you, why would someone insist on calling you stupid?" Hu Tiehua also sighed: "I've always looked down on that Great Xia Hu, but I didn't expect him to be such a character, and to have the guts to go find King Shi." "Do you know why he went to find King Shi?" "Didn't he go to find Shi Tianwang desperately?" "It's desperate, but it's a pity that it's not his own life." Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly: "He went to find Shi Tianwang, but he asked Shi Tianwang to fight for a few people's lives for him." "Did he also bring a heavy gift?" "Of course it is indispensable." "I'm not surprised at all, I'm really not surprised at all, I've seen a lot of heroes like this." Hu Tiehua sneered: "I think the expression on his face must be very interesting when he sees you. " Chu Liuxiang sighed again: "To be honest, I don't want to see that expression again." The most important question is: "Did Shi Tianwang go to that fishing village that time?" "Of course he went." "Did you see him?" "I'm not blind, how can I not see?" "What kind of person is he?" Chu Liuxiang thought for a long time before answering this question. "I don't know what kind of person he is. I can only tell you that the moment I saw him clearly, I understood why others said he couldn't be killed." "why?" "Because he's not alone at all." When Chu Liuxiang saw Shi Tianwang for the first time, it was a very fine morning. Of course Shi Tianwang came by boat, but it was not the giant warship that Chu Liuxiang imagined, but a very ordinary fishing boat, which even looked a bit dilapidated. The weather was clear that morning, and Chu Liuxiang could see the fishing boat coming through the waves from a distance. The fishing boat itself didn't have any special appearance, but its speed was much faster than any fishing boat anyone had ever seen. There were seven people on board. These seven people were all wearing ordinary fishermen's clothes, with their skirts open and their feet bare. They were all tall and strong. As soon as the fishing boat docked, they jumped off the boat and walked onto the beach with bare feet. Everyone moved vigorously and looked vigorous. At that time, Chu Liuxiang could not have imagined that one of these seven people was Shi Tianwang, the Weizhen Qihai. In his mind, Shi Tianwang shouldn't be like this. In his mind, Shi Tianwang should wear a golden crown and a golden armor, follow him like a cloud, and be majestic. But Bai Yunsheng told him: "The commander-in-chief is here." "General?" Chu Liuxiang still didn't understand: "Which one is the general?" "There is only one handsome man here." Chu Liuxiang was surprised: "The commander-in-chief you mentioned is Shi Tianwang?" "yes." But until that moment, Chu Liuxiang still couldn't tell which of the seven people was Shi Tianwang. Because the costumes of these seven people are almost exactly the same, from a distance, there is almost no difference at all. They strode out onto the sand, each dragging a net full of their harvest from the ocean. It seemed that they were all skilled fishermen, and only skilled fishermen, and at most only a little stronger and bigger than the other fishermen. But the fishermen on the island cheered when they saw them.They smiled and waved, and walked into a big house made of wooden boards amidst cheers, leaving a string of footprints on the sand. Chu Liuxiang immediately discovered another strange thing. The footprints left by these seven people looked like the footprints left by one person. Seven people walked by in a row, and when each person stepped on, they happened to step in the footprints left by the person in front of them, and the distance between each footprint was exactly the same. At that moment, Chu Liuxiang already knew how terrifying the opponent he met was. But what really shocked Chu Liuxiang was when he was invited into that big room to face Shi Tianwang. No one has ever shocked Chu Liuxiang so much. He once faced the sharp weapon of the invincible swordsman Xue Yiren, and he once faced the mysterious and unpredictable Shi Guanyin who was like a ghost. He also once fought a decisive battle with the jellyfish Yin Ji, which is regarded as sacred by people in martial arts all over the world, in Shenshui Palace. In his life, he has experienced countless battles where life and death depended on a split second. But he had never been so shocked.
