    Updated...
    Chapter 3 Part 2 is now complete.
    I've put a dividing line in the text to note where the last update starts...

    More information about the one-armed firewood chopper and Little Wu. This is the first mention of the item that is the book title.

    I just read a large part of the story from the beginning. Very interesting story, thanks for translating.

    "In the room every person had secretly looked at her, even the two monks were not an exception. Their mouths were like a vegetarian, but the eyes were certainly not of a vegetarian."

    hahaha there is always a jab at people's hypocrisy in every Gu Long story.

    Damn the man in black has a very funny destiny hehe, then his sad past is hinted at. Gu Long's tales can be dead serious and tense as well as ridiculously funny.

    I like this young master Zhu, he's very cool, nothing can bother him.

    If the translation is this enjoyable to read then it must mean that Fastclock can convey the original intent of the novel as well as in the Eagles Flying in September translation. Please keep this up

    Thanks for the comment, Wellesley.
    So you're working on the 'Longevity Sword'?
    That's a rather fun story.
    'Peacock Feather' is more dramatic and melancholic.

    Chapter 3 Part 4 is done.
    It's time to prepare for more trouble from the "July 15" assassins.

    I agree with Shuang Shuang being a very original character. She was showered with attention by her parents and that lead her to believe in her own beauty and due to her blindness, she cannot question that belief. Reminds me of what a teacher told me, self-esteem is built during a person's youth.

    Concerning her physical appearance, I have the impression that she is of above average looks, except that she is of very poor health.

    This Green Dragon Clan appears to be very sinister. In the first book, they seemed like an honorable, business oriented group that would not openly offend heroes of the Wulin community. I guess that is just a facade, and they use the July 15 assassins to do their dirty work.

    Longevity Sword was Bai Yu Jing's weapon of choice, but the Peacock Feather is not wielded by Gao Li. I'm very eager to see it in action

    I think it's interesting how the 2nd book is hyped by the first one.

    Yes, book 2 is certainly hyped by book 1.

    Chapter 3 Part 5 is completed. Only one more part before Chapter 3 is completed.

    I liked book 1 very much, but it seems book 2 is even better. This part certainly is full of suspense.

    Thanks for the comments... Keep them coming

    Chapter 3 part 6 is complete... so Chapter 3 is finally complete.
    This time "July 15" assassins came out without concealing themselves....
    Are they too sure?

    Those are some nasty insults proferred by the July 15 group. I wonder how if Shuang Shuang will break down. The underlying psychology of this passage is even more intriguing than the forthcoming battle. Thanks for sharing this translation with us.

    A rather significant chuck is posted here:

    It is the whole bloodbath, 4 vs. 3, and the whole chapter 4 part 1.

    Enjoy...

    I am speculating that Shuang Shuang is actually a martial arts master, and just before the leader of July 15 beats Gao Li to a pulp, she steps in nukes him with the dreaded Wuxi finger-hold

    hehe it could have been possible, Lin Xian Er was a martial arts master after all.

    But a person who used dual sabres or dual swords, held on to this belief: "A person obviously always has two hands, then why one would use only a single weapon?"
    I always thought about this. So Gao Li likes to fight in the same manner as ShanGuan JinHong with his dual steel rings. I like Jin Kai-Jia's fighting style with the axe. His axe is simple and strong at first glance, but he can use it in different ways too. We rarely encouter high level masters using axes in wuxia stories.

    How unfortunate for Shuang Shuang, it seems that the assassins' taunting affected her.

    Thanks for the comments...

    Yes, Shuang Shuang is probably the biggest victim, but I would still consider her very lucky. She has the parents who protect her. She has Gao Li who has protected her up to that point. It's just too bad, some bad people need to crash on the party.

    Good point, when we look at it from that perspective she was very fortunate.
