    Default Chapter 17 - Part 3

    Ycb, well, I guess now I know the answer. Jaya, Anh, you are welcome. LuDongBin, it seems to me that you travel a lot. Owl, I can make it so that you have less to read ...


    Who told you? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Wu Biao, Hua Manlou replied.

    Whos Wu Biao? Lu Xiaofeng replied.

    You dont know? Hua Manlou asked.

    How should I know? Lu Xiaofeng said.

    Because Wu Biao was one of the escorts, Hua Manlou replied.

    Did he personally tell you? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Thats right, Hua Manlou replied.

    And you believe him? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Hua Manlou said, When a man is at the deaths door, would he tell a lie?

    Lu Xiaofeng did not answer.

    Why dont you say something? Hua Manlou said.

    What can I say? Lu Xiaofeng said, Youd rather believe a dead man, you dont believe your own friend. What do you want me to say?

    Did I say that I dont believe you? Hua Manlou said.

    Lu Xiaofeng replied, Didnt you say

    Hua Manlou said, I only said: When a man is at the deaths door, would he tell a lie? Thats all.

    Arent you saying that Lu Xiaofeng started again.

    That was a question, Hua Manlou cut if off again.

    Lu Xiaofeng felt strange, You ask me to answer? he asked.

    Yes, Hua Manlou said.

    Because you are not sure whether before he died Wu Biao told you the truth or a lie? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Yes, Hua Manlou replied, Thats the reason I went out to take a walk; thats the reason I did not sit here enjoying the delight of the dusk; thats the reason I just came in from the outside at the best time of the day; thats the reason you are able to sit on my chair, enjoying the beauty of the sunset.

    You are wrong, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    Oh? Hua Manlou said.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, I sit on your chair, not enjoying the beauty of the sunset at all.

    Why? Hua Manlou asked.

    Because I was worried about you, Lu Xiaofeng replied.

    With a cheerful laugh Hua Manlou said, Therefore, we are indeed a pair of close friends.

    What you said is extremely true, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    Hua Manlou said, You came to me, it must be for this case?

    Thats right, Lu Xiaofeng said, Did you find any result from your walking around?

    I only found one thing, Hua Manlou replied.

    What is it? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    The subordinates of Prince Taipings Heir Apparent are looking everywhere to arrest and bring you to trial, Hua Manlou said.

    With a wry laugh Lu Xiaofeng said, This is a conspiracy.

    Whose conspiracy? Hua Manlou asked.

    Gong Jius conspiracy, Lu Xiaofeng replied.

    Whos Gong Jiu? Hua Manlou asked.

    Gong Jiu is a very formidable person, Lu Xiaofeng replied.

    By the time Lu Xiaofeng finished narrating his strange tale of going out to sea, the sky has turned dark.

    Hua Manlou sat on his chair, deep in thought.

    Lu Xiaofeng lighted the oil lamp, the light shone on Hua Manlous deep concentration face. Lu Xiaofeng stood quietly, fixing his gaze on Hua Manlou.

    After a long time, Hua Manlou exhaled slowly. He said, According to your information, it is very clear that the Little Old Man and Gong Jiu are the masterminds of this case. However, this is not important, whats really important is you must find out who murdered Cui Cheng.

    Thats right, Lu Xiaofeng said, Its the invisible man.

    Hua Manlou said, Didnt the Little Old Man tell you of several ways to make a person invisible?

    Quite a few, Lu Xiaofeng replied.

    Hua Manlou said, Did he mention that suicide is also a way to be invisible?

    Lu Xiaofeng sprang on his feet.

    -- True, why cant Cui Cheng commit suicide?

    Yet, Lu Xiaofeng still had to ask, Why would Cui Cheng commit suicide?

    Hua Manlou said, If he killed himself, his family would live a very good life.

    However, Lu Xiaofeng said, Did you know Ye Xingshis autopsy report?

    According to Ye Xingshis observation:

    -- They had been dead for at least an hour, they were killed by a very thin and fast blade; one stab and their lives were gone.

    -- Because the blade was extremely thin, the movement was extremely fast, it did not even leave any wound.

    -- The fatal stab undoubtedly went into the lower end of the lung. The blade penetrated in, immediately the blood burst into the thoracic cavity; therefore, no blood flowed outside.

    Hua Manlou suddenly remembered something. No, he said, Cui Cheng did not commit suicide.

    I thought so too, Lu Xiaofeng said, Because he had no ability to do so.

    Hua Manlou said, The one committing suicide was either Xiao Hongzhu or Cheng Zhong; or else both of them committed suicide.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, Are you saying that they had been bought or perhaps threatened? And thus after killing Cui Cheng, they committed suicide?

    Hua Manlou said, Dont you think my reasoning makes sense?

    So now I just need to find one person, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    Who? Hua Manlou asked.

    Ye Xingshi, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    What do you want from him? Hua Manlou asked.

    I want to ask him, Lu Xiaofeng said, Was the wound on Cui Cheng and the others, three people, really as he described it?

    Why do you doubt? Hua Manlou asked.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, In case the wound on those three people was really as he said, i.e. was caused by fast blade, then among them, no one committed suicide.

    Why? Hua Manlou asked.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, None of them had the ability to employ such a fast blade, especially when they were about to commit suicide.

    It was supposed to be full moon, but there was no full moon in the sky. There was only black cloud; the black cloud that drift along the strong wind. The wind was indeed very strong.

    Standing outside the door of Ye Xingshis residence, the sleeves of Lu Xiaofengs clothes were rustling in the wind.

    Ye Xingshis family servant opened the door, and said in a loud voice, Its late, Master does not see patients anymore.

    Even if it is an emergency? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Is it you who wants to see Master? the servant asked.

    Yes, Lu Xiaofeng replied.

    You dont look like someone who is sick, the servant said, Unless

    Unless what? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Unless you have mental disorder, the servant said. As soon as he finished speaking, Bang! the door was slammed.

    Lu Xiaofeng pushed with both hands and the door opened again.

    The servant glowered at him ferociously and angrily said, What are you doing?

    I just want to tell you something, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    What is it? the servant asked.

    If I cant see your Master tonight, there will be someone who will have mental disorder, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    Who? the servant asked.

    Me, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    You are making fun of me! the servant angrily said.

    Not at all, Lu Xiaofeng said, I am telling you the truth. Because thirty-five millions taels worth of gold, pearls and jewels very soon will drive me crazy.

    The servant stared at him blankly.

    Now can I see your master? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    The servant suddenly stared at Lu Xiaofengs face; there was fear on his face. You you are Lu Xiaofeng!

    Default Chapter 17 - Part 4

    Clown, congratulations on beating Ycb this time. Ycb, still 5 more chapters, knowing Gu Long, things may change. Just like Jaya said. LuDongBin, is it your job requirement? But you enjoy it, right? If not, I figure you'll try to find another job. Anh, you are welcome.


    Lu Xiaofeng nodded.

    The servant did not say anything. Suddenly he raised his hand to slap Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng only struck him lightly, the servant was knocked down to the ground.

    The lantern looked like a sacrificial vessel. It was sitting on a table in the middle of the main hall. Behind the table a man was sitting on a chair. On the table lay some papers, pen and ink.

    Lu Xiaofeng walked toward the middle of the hall. Ye Xingshi? he said.

    The man nodded. Raising his right hand, he motioned Lu Xiaofeng to sit down. So Lu Xiaofeng sat down.

    The man picked up a pen, dipped it in the ink, and wrote down on a piece of paper, Is there something you want to see me about?

    Lu Xiaofeng was stunned.

    -- Since when did Ye Xingshi become a mute?

    Lu Xiaofeng stared at Ye Xingshi.

    Ye Xingshi laughed and pointed to his own ears.

    You can hear? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Ye Xingshi nodded.

    Lu Xiaofeng was about to ask him a question, suddenly he felt that Ye Xingshis gaze looked very familiar.

    He remembered the saying, Just find Ge Tong, all roads will be clear. [See Chapter 7.]

    He recalled something that happened on the island:

    -- Someone from inside the Buddha statue pounced on him, an ice-cold hand clutched his throat.

    -- The ice-cold hand suddenly lost its strength, hence he was able to calm himself, and looked at the man clutching his throat.

    And the man he saw was precisely Ge Tong. He would never forget Ge Tongs gaze as he looked at Lu Xiaofeng. The gaze that was precisely like this.

    Right now Ye Xingshis gaze was exactly the same as Ge Tongs. Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng said, You are not Ye Xingshi.

    Ye Xingshi was shocked.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, You are Ge Tong!

    Ge Tong suddenly sprang up and attacked Lu Xiaofeng. Not only he was the third-generation Eagle Claws adopted son, he was also the Wang Familys ideal son-in-law. His nickname was Titan Hawk, naturally the power of Eagle Claw martial art of his hand was not weak.

    However, Lu Xiaofeng was already prepared. He waited until Ge Tongs Eagle Claw swept pass, and then lightning fast the edge of his palm chopped on Ge Tongs wrist. Crack! Ge Tongs right wrist was broken by Lu Xiaofengs chop.

    Ge Tong collapsed, his wrist broken. But why did Ge Tong collapse?

    Lu Xiaofeng was shocked. He lifted up Ge Tongs neck, and to his surprise he saw three white, shiny needles on a neat row on the back of Ge Tongs neck.

    Lu Xiaofeng lunged forward in one big jump toward a shadow that had just disappeared behind a wall. Unleashing his qinggong, Lu Xiaofeng ran after the shadow.

    A temple. A broken down mountain temple. The shadow reached the open space in front of the temple, and suddenly it stopped.

    Lu Xiaofeng also stopped. He stood motionless in full alert.

    The shadow turned around. Suddenly the black cloud opened a slit, revealing a weak light of the full moon.

    Lu Xiaofeng jumped in fright. Because he saw that the shadows appearance was completely identical to the one Ge Tong was trying to masquerade.

    -- Was the shadow the real Ye Xingshi? Before Lu Xiaofeng could ask any question, the shadow suddenly laughed aloud.

    Finished laughing, the shadow said, Lu Xiaofengs martial art skill is indeed a fully justified reputation!

    Lu Xiaofeng said, Compared to your skill in releasing secret projectiles, I am afraid it is still far too inferior.

    The shadow laughed and said, And dont forget, there is still my skill in changing appearance.

    Did you change Ge Tongs appearance? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Thats right, the shadow replied.

    I did not expect the disciple of Shaolins Tie Jian Dashi [see Chapter 1] is also adept at changing appearance, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    With a gloomy voice the shadow said, My Shifu only taught me martial arts, you must not dishonor my Shifus good reputation.

    So you are the real Ye Xingshi?

    Replacement guaranteed if not genuine! the shadow replied. [oh, I know that a simple authentic will do, but I am always fascinated by these idioms.]

    Lu Xiaofeng said, Ye Xingshi has enjoyed flourishing reputation in Jianghu for a long time as one of the four famous doctors; not only his medical expertise exquisite, he has a profound mastery of the martial arts handed down personally by Tie Jian Dashi. In all his life he treads the path of chivalry [xia] and practices medicine in help of the people of the world. How could he kill people for no reason?

    Whom did I kill? the shadow asked.

    Ge Tong! Lu Xiaofeng said.

    How do you know that it was me who killed Ge Tong? the shadow said, Did you see me killed Ge Tong with your own eyes?

    Lu Xiaofeng said, Silver needle piercing the acupoints, entering the seventy percent of the brain, that is the internal strength of Shaolins unique internal energy technique.

    Good eyesight! the shadow said, Excellent judgment.

    So you admit that you killed Ge Tong? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    What if I do? And what if I dont? the shadow said.

    If you admit, Lu Xiaofeng said, Then Ill say that although Ye Xingshi has changed, he is still a real man.

    Ye Xingshi said, I did not expect Lu Xiaofengs mouth to be this formidable.

    I am simply telling the truth, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    Ye Xingshi only coldly snorted twice, but did not answer.

    You seemed to know that I was coming to look for you, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    I know that you would definitely come to look for me, Ye Xingshi said.

    Why? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Because the one who knows the real reason of their deaths, other than me, there is no second person, Ye Xingshi said.

    Were they really killed by a fast blade? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Yes, Ye Xingshi replied.

    Is it true that they have been dead for at least an hour? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Ye Xingshi did not respond. There was a painful look on his face.

    How long have they been dead actually? Lu Xiaofeng pressed on, When you came in, did they just die?

    Ye Xingshi opened his mouth, he seemed to be reluctant to talk, yet he wanted to talk. They

    Lu Xiaofeng knew it was a critical juncture in Ye Xingshis mind; if he talked, it means he was abandoning the people controlling him from behind, if he did not talk, that means he resigned the rest of his life to become a puppet.

    Ye Xingshi suddenly made up his mind. He shouted, They died before he could finish, he tumbled down.

    When Ye Xingshi was talking, Lu Xiaofengs eyes were already looking to four sides, his ears were listening to eight directions, closely watching for any activity around them. But he did not see anything, and yet Ye Xingshi has fallen.

    Lu Xiaofeng was about to stoop down to look at the cause of Ye Xingshis death when his eyes suddenly caught lantern light inside the broken-down mountain temple.

    At first the light was very weak, and then, the entire temple was brightly lit.

    Lu Xiaofeng knew that he did not need to examine Ye Xingshi anymore. The secret he wanted to find out was inside the temple. Therefore, he walked toward the mountain temple.

    The temples gate was half-closed. The light was shining from inside through the door gap.

    Lu Xiaofeng stood at the door. He was contemplating whether he should push the door open and come in, or he should slip through the door gap. Which move would carry greater risk? Lu Xiaofeng did not know.

    Actually, Lu Xiaofeng did not need to know. He had already gone through fire and water countless times, so what if he goes through it one more time?

    So Lu Xiaofeng simply reached out and pushed the door.

    But the door did not open, because as soon as his hand touched the wood, an image of smiling Sha Man suddenly appeared in his mind.

    A man in love could have apprehension.

    Lu Xiaofeng was not afraid to die, but that was before. Previously, when he confronted death, he did not have love in his heart. Now he did, he remembered Sha Man, he thought about how Sha Man must be worried over him, he thought about how Sha Man would have to wander alone and miserable in Jianghu.

    Not only Lu Xiaofeng did not continue pushing the door, he pulled his hand instead.

    The temple was very quiet.

    The people instead the temple must be very formidable. People who can wait patiently wont be too-ordinary people.

    Lu Xiaofeng was in a totally defensive mode. He stood outside the door. Even when a strong wind blew the sleeves of his clothing, he did not move.

    Default Chapter 17 - Part 5

    Ycb, are you in front of your computer 24/7? You need to take a break mate ... Clown, to think that both of you are in Singapore ... LuDongBin, you have nothing to complain then ... Owl, alright, alright ... Jaya, and the way they died is just one-liner ... Poof, you're gone. Anh, you are welcome. Here's the end of Chapter 17.


    He seemed to have figured out that the best way was to have a patience match; whoever loses patience will reveal weak points. If he could not endure it, there were only two paths he could take: risking his life by charging in, or leave without finding out the secret behind Ye Xingshis murder.

    If the people inside could not endure, they would either talk, or burst out to find out the outcome. Either way, it would be beneficial to Lu Xiaofeng.

    If they talked, Lu Xiaofeng would be able to determine the direction of their hiding place, he could even find out who the speaker was.

    If they burst out, it would be even more advantageous to Lu Xiaofeng, because then Lu Xiaofeng would not have any apprehension whatsoever.

    Unless the persons martial art skill was a lot higher than Lu Xiaofengs. But Lu Xiaofeng was never worried about this point.

    Lu Xiaofeng knew that there was more than one person inside the temple. Because he heard whispers; too bad the wind was simply too strong outside that he was unable to hear what the people inside were saying, he could not hear whether the speaker was a male or a female, young or old.

    He could only be certain of one thing: the people inside were already a bit impatient.

    To this fact, Lu Xiaofeng did not feel proud at all. He always thought that he was the most patient man. Otherwise, Lu Xiaofeng would have turned into a pile of bones early on, a pile of dried up bones buried in the ground. Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng was still standing motionless.

    The people inside really could not endure anymore. A sweet and tender voice of a woman said, Arent you feeling the cold wind outside? Its not only cold, its also strong and bone-chilling.

    Lu Xiaofeng laughed.

    -- Beef Soup.

    Hearing Beef Soups voice, how could he not laugh?

    Lu Xiaofeng said with a laugh, Cold, strong and bone-chilling wind is always more enjoyable than sabers that pose danger on every side.

    A male voice said, How do you know I am going to use saber and not sword?

    Lu Xiaofengs smile froze on his face.

    -- Gong Jiu.

    Hearing Gong Jius voice, how could Lu Xiaofengs smile not freeze?

    Lu Xiaofeng did not speak, he simply reached out and very gently pushed the half-closed door until it was fully opened.

    Before Lu Xiaofeng entered, the strong wind outside has already blowing in, blowing the solitary lantern inside that the flame was flickering erratically.

    Under the flickering light, Gong Jiu and Beef Soups faces were also flashing between light and darkness, just like their personality, sometimes gloomy sometimes sunny erratically.

    Seeing old friends, Lu Xiaofeng has always laughed. Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng smiled at Gong Jiu and Beef Soup and said, Pardon me for keeping the two of you waiting.

    It was supposed to be a humor, and Gong Jiu really feel like laughing, but he wasnt laughing.

    Yet Beef Soup was laughing cheerfully. So cold outside, she said, Why didnt you come in earlier to have a bowl of beef soup?

    I was afraid if I came in earlier, I would not have had beef soup, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    So what did you think you would have? Beef Soup asked.

    Yan Wang [King of Hell] Soup, Lu Xiaofeng replied.

    Beef Soup laughed, We are old friends, she said, How could we serve you Yan Wang Soup?

    Perhaps you wouldnt, Lu Xiaofeng said, But your Jiu Ge might.

    With a sinister voice Gong Jiu said, You are wrong.

    Oh? Lu Xiaofeng said.

    Gong Jiu said, If I wanted to kill you, I could have killed you at Ye Xingshis house.

    So you knew that I was going to look for Ye Xingshi? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    I did not dare to be presumptuous at all, Gong Jiu said, I merely guessed that you may, therefore, I have been staying at Ye Xingshis house.

    What for? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    To wait for you, Gong Jiu replied.

    I am here, Lu Xiaofeng said, Why dont you kill me?

    Right now I do not want to kill you, Gong Jiu said.

    Why? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Because you are alone, Gong Jiu replied.

    You want to kill Sha Man too? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    And Xiao Yu, and Honest Monk, Gong Jiu replied.

    Do you have to kill all four of us? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Gong Jiu nodded.

    Why? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Gong Jiu coldly said, Because I hate all of you.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, You may hate me, you may hate Sha Man, you may hate Xiao Yu, but why do hate Honest Monk?

    Gong Jiu replied, Without him, you would have been dead on the island long ago.

    What if you cant find them for the rest of your life? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    I will definitely find them, said Gong Jiu.

    You are so confident? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Gong Jiu coldly snorted.

    Can you tell me the reason of your confidence? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    If I cant find them for the rest of my life, then you cannot hope to see them for the rest of your life either, Gong Jiu said.

    Lu Xiaofeng was stunned. Why? he asked.

    Because, Gong Jiu said, From now on I will follow you. Unless you wont see them anymore. Otherwise, I will also see them.

    Lu Xiaofengs heart turned cold. Was that the reason you stayed at Ye Xingshis house to wait for me?

    No, Gong Jiu said.

    No? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Gong Jiu said, I originally thought that all four of you would come to Ye Xingshis house together, then I could catch everything in one net. I didnt expect you to come alone; hence I had to lure you here.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, You lured me here just so can tell me that you are going to follow me?

    Thats right, Gong Jiu said.

    If you just follow me secretly, wont you also find them? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    With a cold laugh Gong Jiu said, I simply want you to know.

    Oh? Lu Xiaofeng said.

    Have you seen a cat catching a mouse? Gong Jiu asked, Will the cat immediately eat the mouse?

    There was a cold stream flowing in the depth of Lu Xiaofengs heart; he did not answer.

    Gong Jiu continued, I simply want to let you know that I am following you, I want you to be anxious, I want you to wanting to see Sha Man, yet you do not dare to meet her. I want to see you wasting away, to see you suffer from the torture of your own yearning. Gong Jiu laughed maniacally.

    Lu Xiaofeng calmly said, If I am dead, wont you also cant find them?

    Gong Jiu said, Are you saying that before you die, you dont want to see Sha Man even once?

    Lu Xiaofeng remained silent. A dark shadow suddenly crept into his heart; it was not clear whether it was a shadow of death, or because she could not find him, Sha Man was concerned and thus was wasting away with each passing day. Lu Xiaofeng started to feel afraid.

    Gong Jiu could see the panic on Lu Xiaofengs eyes; his grim and cold laughter suddenly turned into a cheerful and proud laughter.

    Lu Xiaofeng looked at Gong Jiu, and then he turned his attention to Beef Soup. Suddenly he said, Dont you have some beef soup to entertain me with?

    Beef Soup was taken aback. She stared at Lu Xiaofeng and asked, You want to drink beef soup?

    Thats right, Lu Xiaofeng replied.

    You are still in the mood to drink beef soup? Beef Soup asked.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, Life is hard and we are destined to die; dont you think being a full ghost is much more comfortable than a hungry ghost? Besides

    Besides what? Beef Soup asked.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, Besides, if I didnt drink a bowl of beef soup, how could I find the strength to play this game of hide-and-seek?

    Beef Soup stared at Lu Xiaofeng for a moment. Without saying anything, she turned around and went inside.

    By the time Beef Soup reappeared, there was a bowl of piping hot beef soup in her hands.

    Lu Xiaofeng was not being polite at all. Glug! Glug! Glug! he drank the beef soup and turned the bowl upside down. Wiping his mouth, he said, I have a question.

    What question? Beef Soup asked.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, No matter where you go, do you always bring real beef soup with you?

    Not necessarily, Beef Soup replied.

    Then why is it that every time I meet you, you always have beef soup ready to drink? Lu Xiaofeng asked.

    Because I prepared it for you, Beef Soup replied.

    Oh? Lu Xiaofeng said.

    Didnt you say that being a full ghost is much more comfortable than a hungry ghost? Beef Soup said.

    Thats right, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    Thats exactly the reason why I always prepare beef soup for you, Beef Soup said.

    With a bitter laugh Lu Xiaofeng said, In that case, I should be really grateful to you.

    I dont need your gratitude, Beef Soup said, I just hope that after you become a full ghost, it would be nice if you dont come to entangle me.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, Now that I have had my beef soup, would the two of you allow me to withdraw?

    You may leave at any time, Gong Jiu said.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, This time, how much time will you give me to have a head start?

    Gong Jiu said, Until I feel that I wont be able to catch up with you.

    Lu Xiaofeng said, You have never fought a battle that you have no confidence in winning, havent you?

    If I dont have any confidence, why fight? Gong Jiu said.

    In that case, Ill leave now. So long, Lu Xiaofeng said.

    As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaofeng unleashed his qinggong and flew away.
