DARK FLUTE AND SHINING BLADE
He toed a dejected pile of sticks and soggy paper, exposing the stump of a candle. Inches away was another. Lanterns fared badly in mountain torrents but new students, used to meandering lowland rivers, still tried. The scent of burning paper was pervasive. A few night hunts would soon disabuse them of the notion that paper money and pretty lanterns could scare a hungry ghost. His flute would be busy tonight.
A glimpse of white robes among the bamboo to his right comforted. Smiling, he raised ChenQing. Tonight, dark flute and shining blade were stronger protection than paper and fire.
