Chapter 7 The Sixth Chapter Secretly Sending Down the Mountain to Pass on Secrets

He first read the inner strength method. Since the beginning of his inner strength practice, he has often been instructed by his master, so it is not difficult to read it. Although there are some subtleties, although he can't understand it for a while, he still feels it. There is a reasonable way to find, and self-confidence can be understood after time.But when he read the sword formula, he couldn't help being a little confused. This sword formula is not exactly the same as the sword formula taught by his master.The most embarrassing thing for him is that the master only passed down the sword formula, but did not write down the sword style. He didn't mention a word about how to make the move.

But at the back of the sword formula, there is a passage: "My school of martial arts, the most important thing is spiritual enlightenment. In the past, Zhang Zhenren observed the situation of the two mountains of turtles and snakes, and created Taiji swordsmanship. You should understand this purpose, don't be rigid, just let nature take its course , Everything in the world is enough to follow the law. The main idea is: the Tai Chi is round and round, without any gaps. When you forget all the moves you have learned in the past, it will be the day of great success." There are two other lines of small characters, which describe his own experience in learning martial arts: "From nothing to nothing, creating something out of nothing. This is the highest state of martial arts, and it is also The highest level of swordsmanship."

Lan Yujing seemed to understand the sixteen-character mantra, but how to "come from nothing, create something out of nothing", he thought hard, but he couldn't figure it out. A gust of breeze blew, Lan Yujing thought about it, and laughed secretly: "The patriarch spent a hundred years studying martial arts, and only then was he able to find a new way and form a family of his own. I have only read it once now, if it is so easy, I can understand it. Mystery, Zhang San and Li Si can also become a generation of masters." So put aside thinking about it for the time being, and read it first.

It was the first time he left home, and if he didn't think hard about his sword skills, he would inevitably miss his family.He thought of his parents, and then his sister.Naturally, he thought of the time he and his sister broke up at the foot of Zhanqi Peak, by Yujing Lake. "Why did I lose to her when I used the most proud move taught by my master?" He thought again: "Since we want to start from nothing, the word 'have' should refer to the martial arts I already know. , as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, I am afraid it is necessary to become proficient with what you have already learned. When you reach the level of proficiency and you can create your own new tricks, isn't this a cycle, and then you can create something out of nothing? Well, as the master said, I am afraid Is that what it means?"

So he re-practiced the Taiji swordsmanship taught by his master again, and when he practiced the "White Crane Spreading Wings" that he lost to his sister that time, he really found something was wrong.However, this is just a vague feeling, what is wrong, he still can't tell. Early in the morning of the second day, he got up early in the morning according to his usual habits, faced the rising sun, and did a round of breathing kung fu. After practicing his inner strength, he followed up with his sword skills.Using the move of "White Crane Spreading its Wings", with a click, a branch was cut off.

This sword strike was very urgent, the cut branch was too long, the branch flew down rapidly, he had no time to jump away, and one end of the branch hit his shoulder.Not hurt, but a little sore. He froze for a moment, and thought to himself: "If this branch is a living person, he will dodge and fight back, like the attack just now, wouldn't it mean that I haven't cut off his arm, but I will give him a sword to pierce through it?" Is my lute bone broken?" He slowed down his moves, performed it again, and finally realized a little truth.The slanting range of this sword is too large, the first half stroke and the second half stroke are divided into two arcs, and the circles cannot meet.Although this "cutting off" is only a momentary event, there is already a sword intent that goes against the "Tai Chi circle" that the master said, without breaking the gap.

He didn't know whether the reason he had realized was right or not. Since no one gave advice, he could only modify the sword style according to his own will.After practicing a few times, I gradually felt that there was no obstacle in the move, and the cut branches would not touch me anymore. He began to get a glimpse of some tricks, and continued to practice with this train of thought. After practicing a set of Taiji swordsmanship, he faintly realized that at least a dozen moves did not conform to the sword theory contained in the "Sixteen-Character Mantra".Every time he found a flaw, he felt more puzzled: "Father's swordsmanship was learned from Elder Wu Se, and Elder Wu Se is recognized as the number one swordsman master in our sect. Why can't he see these flaws?"

There are too many flaws, the clues are busy, and it cannot be changed.He could only focus on one move, first modify the "White Crane Spreading Wings" move until he was satisfied. On the morning of the third day, he continued to practice sword skills according to the sword principles he had comprehended, and suddenly found that what he was satisfied with yesterday still seemed to be flawed today.He sighed, "This set of swordsmanship created by the master is really profound and profound. I don't know when I can practice it?" He only prepared dry food for three days, and he was leaving after that day.Although you can find a secluded place to practice on the road, it is not convenient in the barren hills, so he must be prepared.

He had already read the inner strength method and Tai Chi sword formulas given to him by his ancestors. He was afraid of making mistakes. He repeated them silently in his heart a few times, and he could almost recite them backwards. Only then did he feel relieved to burn them. He tore the scroll into pieces and burned it in the censer of the ruined temple.Broken temples, broken windows, and no lid on the incense burner.Suddenly a gust of wind blew in, blowing away the unburned fragments.He rushed out to search, picked up a few pieces, and re-incinerated.But he doesn't know whether there are still "slipping through the net".

"Today is the last day here, I have to work harder." He hoped that within one day, he would at least practice the move of "White Crane Spreading its Wings" until he was completely satisfied. He practiced it over and over again, and felt that the move of "White Crane Spreading Wings" seemed to be unable to find any flaws, so he practiced the second and third moves where he had found a flaw. When he was concentrating on practicing, he suddenly heard someone say: "Okay, very good! No, it's very wrong!" This sentence is also like his swordsmanship, it is said in one breath, there is no "broken" in the middle.

Why did you just like it completely, and then say "wrong"? Lan Yujing was stunned for a moment, and when he looked closely, the man had already come out of the woods. It was a young man in his twenties, with a pale face, but piercing eyes. Lan Yujing said: "What's wrong with my swordsmanship?" The boy said: "Are you a disciple of the Wudang sect?" Lan Yujing said: "I don't know you, why should I tell you? Who are you?" He has "taught himself without a teacher" and knows that he should be vigilant towards strangers.But after all, he is not sophisticated enough, this sentence is already equivalent to a positive answer. The boy said coldly: "I just want to deal fairly with you, but you want to take advantage of me!" Lan Yujing said in amazement: "When am I going to take advantage of you?" The boy said: "I asked who you are, did you tell me?" Lan Yujing began to realize that since he refused to tell others, it was no wonder that others refused to tell him. "Okay, then I don't want to know who you are anymore. You go!" Lan Yujing said. The boy said: "Is this your place? Why should I leave?" Lan Yujing said angrily: "If you don't go, I will go!" The boy said: "Wait a minute!" Lan Yujing said: "What are you doing?" The boy said: "You don't want to know who I am, but you want to know what's wrong with your swordsmanship?" Lan Yujing told him the central matter, stopped and said, "I've already asked you, but if you refuse to tell me, why should I ask again?" The young man said: "What's the use of talking empty words? Come on, let's make gestures!" With a tip of his toe, he picked up a branch that Lan Yujing had just cut off, and said, "Little brother, let's make a move!" Lan Yujing was fighting with his sister at the foot of Zhanqi Peak that day. He also used a wooden sword, but the wooden sword still had the form of a sword. What this man held was a soft branch with a few leaves on it. Lan Yujing was a young man who was eager to win, and thought to himself: "You look down on me so much, if you don't show me how powerful you are, I'm afraid even the Wudang sect will be underestimated by you." Then he said: "Although you are older than me, but I use a treasured sword. I can't take advantage of you, so go ahead. Also, I have to say something up front, to learn martial arts, and it should be done as soon as possible, but you are a branch, I'm afraid, I'm afraid ..." The young man said: "Are you afraid that my branch will not be able to withstand your sword and will be injured by your sword?" Lan Yujing said: "That's right, do you want to change your weapon (the boy smiled and didn't answer)? Well, since you are confident that you can withstand the sword, if I hurt you by mistake, don't complain." The boy laughed and said: "Little brother, don't say you hurt me, you have the ability to kill me, and I will die without complaint." Lan Yujing snorted and said, "You said this yourself! Please give me a trick!" The young man smiled and said: "You don't want to take advantage of me, if I still let you, then I really don't respect you enough, be careful, take the trick!" I don't know which school or school of tricks he is using, but seeing his branches shake, there are green shadows of green branches in all directions, Lan Yujing is not facing a branch, but seems to be trapped. In a green forest. Lan Yujing was taken aback, and followed the gist of the Tai Chi circular movement in the sword formula, "Let him press down on the top of the mountain, and I will just treat my face as a breeze." Using the Tai Chi sword's starting gesture, he drew a circle, and the edge of the sword did not move. Touching the branches, the green shadows have scattered in all directions. After fighting for a few moves, Lan Yujing was pressed steadily by the opponent, unable to use his swordsmanship, and felt a little anxious in his heart. "Within ten strokes, if I can't stop cutting off his branches, even if I win, I won't be able to win by force!" Concentrated, he jumped up, and even made the "White Crane Spreading Wings" that he thought had been modified satisfactorily. This trick. It's fine if he doesn't use this move, but when he uses this move, he didn't even see clearly what technique the man used, he only felt the Quchi acupoint on the tip of his elbow go numb.When the beep sounded, his sword had fallen to the ground. The young man said: "You can cut off a few leaves on my branch with this move, which is very rare. You rest for a while, let's compare." Lan Yujing gasped, only then did he realize that the man was not boasting, and the sword moves he thought were satisfactory were full of flaws in the eyes of others! The young man seemed to have seen through his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "It's not so full of flaws, your move only has three flaws." But there are three flaws in one move, which is enough to make him feel ashamed up. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated. After a while, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Okay, let's compare again!" He thought he had thought clearly, but he still couldn't do it. He used the move of "White Crane Spreading Wings". Instead of dodging the sword edge, he threw himself into the sword circle drawn by him.This move was extremely strange, completely out of his expectation, but he was forced to jump upside down to avoid the attack, so that the Guanyuan acupoint on the tiger's mouth would not be hit by the opponent.Although the sword will not fall to the ground, it will always lose the move. "Why is it still not working?" Lan Yujing sat down and thought again.The boy said: "Don't be discouraged, there are only two flaws left in your move." Lan Yujing replayed the two moves in his mind, and vaguely saw a glimmer of light, but it was only a glimmer of light. , still can't make him suddenly see the light. The boy said: "Don't worry too much, if you can't figure it out today, think about it tomorrow." Lan Yujing thought to himself: "I will leave tomorrow, where is tomorrow?" Time is like a long river that flows endlessly, and it will not stop.Lan Yujing's heart suddenly brightened amidst his emotions: "By the way, I only managed to complete the sixteen-character mantra left by my master, and I only managed to complete the circle of Tai Chi, and I didn't need to cut off the half. Don't stop this half!" After thinking through this layer, it seems that the "dark room" has been opened, and the eyes are suddenly clear.He jumped up and said, "Okay, come again, come again!" Just like the first time he competed, he started from the opening gesture and made a few moves. The young man looked surprised, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.Lan Yujing's "White Crane Spreading its Wings" move was performed suddenly!The boy let out a "Hey", this time he was forced to dodge. Lan Yujing withdrew his sword and said, "Is this trick working?" The boy was even more joyful than him, and said: "You have improved so fast. It is not bad to be able to repair one flaw at a time. This time, you have repaired two flaws in one fell swoop. Now your move of white crane spreading its wings can be said to be true!" There is no flaw at all. However, you have to pay attention to the word 'now', this sentence is what I say now, after some time, maybe I say it differently. Do you understand what I mean?" Lan Yujing said: "I understand. I have made progress, and you have also made progress. If you can't find the flaw in my trick today, it doesn't mean you won't be able to find it tomorrow." The young man smiled and said: "Your understanding is really high. , However, this set of sword techniques of yours is not flawed by the white crane spreading its wings." Lan Yujing was convinced, and said, "Will you continue to guide me?" The boy said: "I don't know how to teach students, I can only compare swords with others." Lan Yujing said: "Okay, let's compare." This time, he was the first to show his flaws in the move of "Xuanniao scratching the sand".It was also the same as the "White Crane Spreading its Wings" move, after several revisions, it was only then that it was able to withstand the boy's attack. It was already dark.Lan Yujing suddenly remembered, and said, "Don't you need to hurry?" The boy said, "Have I ever asked you that?" Lan Yujing was also a little reluctant to leave him, and said, "Yes, you don't care about me, and I don't care about you." After a while, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that I just met you today." The boy said: "It's not too late to meet you today." Lan Yujing said: "You don't know, tomorrow, I..." The boy asked, "How are you doing tomorrow?" Lan Yujing recalled the lesson of "When you meet people, you should talk three minutes", and said, "I don't live in this ruined temple." The boy said: "I know." Lan Yujing said: "So, I don't know if I'm still here tomorrow. Because..." He originally wanted to make up an "excuse", but the boy said: "You can stay if you like, and leave if you like. I didn't ask you, so you don't have to tell me why. In fact, what happened tomorrow Does anyone know?" Lan Yujing felt more and more speculative with this person, and said with a smile: "You are really a bit weird, but you are just right for my taste." The man said, "I didn't say you were weird, but you called me instead." Lan Yujing smiled, stopped talking, went back to the ruined temple to eat the last piece of dry food, and went to bed when he was full.The young man did not enter the ancient temple, Lan Yujing didn't know whether he was sleeping in the woods or had gone down the mountain, thinking that he might never see this person again, he felt a sense of loss.But he was really too tired, thinking and thinking, and fell asleep before he knew it. When he woke up the next day, the sun had already entered the temple. He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a pile of wild fruits and a pack of dry food on the altar.He let out a "huh", and then saw the young man walking in, holding two pheasants whose feathers had been plucked in his hand. The boy said: "For breakfast, you can eat some fruit first, and then we will have roast chicken for lunch." Lan Yujing was overjoyed, and said: "Ah, you haven't left yet, I'm really sorry to ask you to find so much food for me." The boy said: "You feel embarrassed, you should go hunting tomorrow." Lan Yujing was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow? I..." The boy said: "Yes. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Let's just worry about today. Are you full?" "I am full." "Okay, come when you're full." "do what?" The young man had already broken a branch, lifted it up, and said, "Competition of swords!" Lan Yujing felt itchy, and thought to herself: "It doesn't matter if you go to Shaolin Temple a day later." He said: "I can't compare with you in sword competitions, I just hope you can find more flaws in my swordsmanship today!" The boy said: "Why do you hope that the more the better?" Lan Yujing said: "Keep finding flaws, and then you will keep improving. One day, when you can't find my flaws at all, won't my swordsmanship be successful?" The young man said coldly: "If you use the method at the top, you can only get it at the middle level. If you use the method at the middle level, you can only get it at the bottom. My swordsmanship can only be ranked at the middle level at most. Even if you practice it completely like me, you are two words away from success." It’s still far away. What’s more, the loopholes are always endless, and if there are no loopholes, unless there are no tricks.” Lan Yujing was stunned for a while, thinking: "If you want to have no flaws, you must have no tricks. Isn't that what the master said, from something to nothing, something out of nothing, almost the same meaning?" Before he could finish his thoughts, he could only hear the young man sigh and say: "This kind of superior state is not easy to achieve. Accept it!" On this day, Lan Yujing had practiced the two swordsmanship that had been found to be flawed. The so-called "well-practiced" of course only meant being able to defend against the boy's attack. The more enthusiastic Lan Yujing practiced, on the third day he didn't want to leave even if he didn't wait for the boy to stay. If so, day after day, unconsciously, seven days have passed.The thirteen sword moves that Lan Yujing found flawed at the beginning have not yet been revised to perfection, and flaws have also been found in the sword skills that were originally flawless. Lan Yujing said: "Why are there more and more flaws?" The doubts that already existed in my heart expanded even more: "The Taiji swordsmanship that my master taught me was passed down by the number one swordsman in my sect. The highest sword technique in the sect is so full of loopholes?" The young man seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "You have more and more flaws, do you want to know the reason?" "I don't know, please advise." "Because I also found that there are still flaws in my swordsmanship." "Your swordsmanship is so good, is there any flaw?" "Didn't you notice that the sword technique I used these two days is somewhat different from the sword technique I used a few days ago?" Lan Yujing thought about it carefully and said, "It seems so." The young man said: "That's because after I discovered a flaw in my swordsmanship, I, like you, modified it." Lan Yujing said: "I still don't understand. You found flaws in your own swordsmanship, and I have more and more flaws, but what is the relationship?" The young man smiled and said: "Actually, it's inappropriate to only keep the word 'weakness'. Some of your sword skills have flaws, and some have no flaws. But having no flaws doesn't mean that you are perfect. " Lan Yujing said: "I understand this truth, this is called excellence." The young man said: "By the way, this is called excellence. Your swordsmanship has improved rapidly. In the past two days, those moves that had no flaws in the past have been perfected by you, or you have other ideas. So This revealed the shortcomings in my swordsmanship, so I also kept improving and reached a new level. But I was always one step ahead of you, so once I reached a new level, I was able to discover your swordsmanship again This is the reason why you feel that there are more and more flaws in your swordsmanship." Only then did Lan Yujing fully understand the truth, and sighed, "I only now understand the importance of sparring. I use the word 'comparison'. You don't think I'm conceited, do you? In fact, you are a teacher and I am a student. " The young man said: "Actually, you are also my husband. If you must be polite to me, then it is more appropriate to use the words teaching and learning." Lan Yujing sighed: "Learning and then not knowing enough. The words of the sage are indeed good. But whether it is to learn from each other, or to learn from each other, it is endless. There are many loopholes with many clues, and they will never stop. It can't be fixed." The young man said: "You are half right. When there are no tricks, there will be no flaws. But even when you can do whatever you want, you can still create new sword intent. That is to say, the way of martial arts, then It really is endless!" Lan Yujing was fascinated: "It's a pity that I still have to go to Shaolin Temple. Although the master didn't set a deadline, I can't delay here for a long time. Well, it's already the tenth day." He hesitated in his heart, and his face showed it unconsciously.The boy said: "Little brother, what's the matter with you?" Lan Yujing said: "There is always a banquet in the world. I, I think, I should go." The young man said lightly: "You can leave if you want, I won't stop you." Lan Yujing said: "In the past seven days, you have helped me practice swordsmanship, and I have benefited a lot..." The young man seemed to know what he was going to say, and said first: "Didn't I already tell you that we can only learn swordsmanship. I didn't thank you much, and you don't have to thank me." Lan Yujing was grateful for his kindness, and thought to himself: "If I don't even know his name, wouldn't it be justified?" He thought for a while and said, "You don't want to be my teacher, but I don't know..." The boy said: "How is it?" Lan Yujing said: "We have been together for seven days, so we can be regarded as friends, right?" His childish words made the boy laugh. "Friends are made by yourself. Whether that person is your friend or not can only be decided by you. If you think it is, it is, and if you think it is not, it is not." The boy said. Lan Yujing said: "My surname is Lan, and my name is Yujing." At first, he was unwilling to tell the other party the origin of his name, but now he wanted to know the other party's name instead.Since you want to know the name of the other party, of course you have to say your own name first. When the young man heard his name, his expression seemed a little strange, and he said, "Okay, very good!" Lan Yujing said: "What is good?" The young man, Qu Ran, said with a smile, "I mean you got this name very well." Lan Yujing is just a minor disciple of the Wudang sect, and he has never been to Wudang Mountain. Of course, he can't think of people outside. He actually knew his name, so even though he felt that the young man's expression seemed a little weird, he didn't take it seriously. Seeing that he didn't continue, Lan Yujing had no choice but to add: "I have already told you my name." The boy said: "It's not what I asked you to say. So what if you say it?" Lan Yujing said forcefully, "Aren't you willing to make friends with me?" Then the boy laughed and said, "Oh, so you wanted to know my name, but my name is a bit special." Lan Yujing thought to himself, a name is a name, so what's so special about it?While thinking about it, I heard the boy say slowly: "My surname has two characters, surname 'Dongfang', and the single name is 'Liang'." After all, he seemed to be watching Lan Yujing with a nervous expression, as if waiting for his reaction. Lan Yujing laughed unconsciously. Although there are relatively few double surnames, they are not "special". "Don't you think it's special?" Dongfang Liang asked. "This is the first time I've heard of a person with the surname Dongfang, but I know this surname." Lan Yujing said. Dongfang Liang said: "Then what are you laughing at? Are you just laughing at me thinking I'm special?" Lan Yujing said: "You got your name very well." He didn't want to disappoint the other party, since the other party had praised his name, he also reciprocated it. Dongfang Liang said: "Where is the good news?" Lan Yujing never thought that he would continue to "entangle" him. Fortunately, he moved his mind quickly and said without thinking: "When the east is bright, there is no need to grope in the dark. Isn't this just a metaphor for me seeing you? Do you understand many things that I can't figure out in terms of swordsmanship?" Dongfang Liang smiled and said, "Your little mouth is really sweet." He "attached so much importance" to the issue of the name, which made Lan Yujing quite puzzled, so it was a little strange. "I can't imagine that he can say such a long list just by using first and last names. Isn't it a bit boring?" He didn't know that this matter was not "boring" at all. The reason why he felt "boring" was just because he didn't know what this Dongfang Liang had done.If he knew that Dongfang Liang challenged his master on the day he went down the mountain, he would be surprised. Dongfang Liang let go of a stone in his heart, "It seems that he really doesn't know who I am." Although Lan Yujing was reluctant to leave, seeing that the red sun had already risen in the east, it was time to leave, so he said in the tone of an adult: "Brother Dongfang, my younger brother is leaving. I hope there will be green mountains and clear waters, and there will be a period later." Dongfang Liang laughed, and said: "Green mountains and green waters are everywhere!" Lan Yujing left, and he also left. Lan Yujing said: "Are you going down the mountain too?" Dongfang Liang said: "What am I doing on this mountain alone?" Lan Yujing couldn't help laughing, laughing at herself and asking confusedly, "saying goodbye" was a bit early. The mountain was not very high, and it didn't take long for them to reach the foot of the mountain. Lan Yujing only said that Dongfang Liang would break up with him when he reached the foot of the mountain, but Dongfang Liang would still go with him.Lan Yujing didn't dare to be as reckless as before, thinking to himself: "Probably he's just walking in the same direction as me, and of course the destinations are different." He also wished to walk with Dongfang Liang. On the way, I couldn't help looking for something to say. Lan Yujing was favored by him, and felt a little sorry for hiding everything from him, so he said: "My family grows vegetables on Wudang Mountain, and I watch those Taoist priests practice martial arts in my spare time, so I also know a little bit of Wudang sect's kung fu." Of course, these words are not entirely true, but he can only go so far. Dongfang Liang smiled, and said: "Then you are quite lucky, your swordsmanship is probably from the branch of the colorless elder, right?" Lan Yujing was taken aback and said, "You also know Elder Wu Se?" Dongfang Liang smiled and said: "Not only do I know Elder Wusei, but I also know that there are two Taiji swordsmanship of Wudang School. The representative one is another one. In terms of the purity of kung fu, of course we have to push Wuxiang Daoist, but the innovation of Wuhui Elder is not without merit. If the two branches merge in the future, it will be even more impressive." Lan Yujing was astonished, and said, "No wonder you saw me practicing swordsmanship that day, and you could tell that I belonged to the Wudang School. But you don't seem to be from the Wudang School, right? Why are you so familiar with the Wudang School's swordsmanship?" Dongfang Liang said: "I am a prodigal son, and I have seen many swordsmanship from various sects, so my wish is to learn from each school's strengths and practice my own swordsmanship." Lan Yujing sighed: "In this way, you are really smart." How did he know that Dongfang Liang once went up to Wudang Mountain to challenge, and he fought against his master Buqi, his uncle Bubo and others, so he was able to understand the two different Taiji swordsmanship in his chest.Dongfang Liang is indeed very smart, but when it comes to the degree of intelligence, he is even better than Dongfang Liang. The ability of "photographic memory" is comparable to the two, and he can understand by analogy, and his talent for expressing new ideas is higher, but Lan Yujing himself doesn't know it. The two walked together, and unknowingly came to a three-way intersection. Lan Yujing stepped on the middle road, and Dongfang Liang followed suit.After walking for a while, Lan Yujing couldn't bear to ask, "Brother Dongfang, where are you going?" Dongfang Liang said, "What about you?" Lan Yujing thought: "If I don't tell, I'm not enough friends. Besides, I asked him first." Then he said: "To be honest, I want to go to Shaolin Temple in Songshan." Dongfang Liang said: "Very good!" Lan Yujing said: "What is good?" Dongfang Liang said: "I am also going to Songshan Mountain." Lan Yujing was taken aback, "How could it be such a coincidence?" He said, "I wonder which Zen master from Shaolin Temple did my elder brother know?" Dongfang Liang said lightly: "Mount Song is not from Shaolin Temple, can I go for a tour?" Lan Yujing said: "I'm not acquainted with any great monk from Shaolin Temple, but a Taoist priest asked me to do some personal affairs..." Just thinking about whether to tell the truth to this new friend who has benefited me, Dongfang Liang has already He laughed and said, "I don't have time to take care of your personal affairs. Have you forgotten that on the first day we met, I once said that you don't care about me, and I don't care about yours. So, no matter what, You can say what you like, and you don’t have to say it if you don’t like it. The only exception is when you find the opponent’s flaws during the sword fight. If you don’t want me to say it, I will say it.” Lan Yujing was overjoyed and said: "This is the best." The two talked and walked along the way, and Lan Yujing listened to him talk about some experiences in the world and some common sense that must be known. He listened with great interest and benefited a lot. They ate lunch in a small town, continued on their way, walked for a while, and stepped into the mountain road.The mountain road was rugged, and there were no other pedestrians besides them, so the two of them talked about sword skills for a while without any scruples.Unknowingly, the shadow of the sun is slanting to the west.The mountain wind blows, and the yellow leaves are flying.Dongfang Liang stopped talking suddenly, as if he was listening intently.Lan Yujing only heard the sound of wind and falling leaves, and wondered what the sound of wind and falling leaves sounded like. Dongfang Liang suddenly said: "Little brother, I said I don't care about your affairs, but now there is one thing that I must take care of." Lan Yujing said: "What's the matter?" Dongfang Liang said: "If you meet someone later, if that person talks to you, don't pay attention to him, I will tell you everything." Lan Yujing said: "Who is it?" Dongfang Liang said: "I don't think you will know this person." Lan Yujing said: "Then it's none of my business, and it's not my business if you want to take care of it." He said it easily, but he was very surprised in his heart. Dongfang Liang's martial arts are so good, so why would he be afraid of someone who won't succeed?Why is he so solemn, as if he is afraid that if he says something wrong, it will cause disaster. Without thinking about it, I only heard a burst of laughter like silver bells, that person had already appeared.It's a woman. Dongfang Liang said: "Wu Niang, what is so joyful?" The woman said: "I met you! Dongfang Liang, why are you still here today?" This woman is none other than Chang Wuniang, the "Green Bee" who came back from Wudang Mountain. Dongfang Liang didn't answer, but instead asked her, "Why are you still here?" Chang Wuniang glanced at Lan Yujing and said, "This little brother is..." Dongfang Liang smiled and said, "You are right, he is my little brother." Chang Wuniang said: "Nonsense, where did you get a brother from?" Dongfang Liang said: "He is my younger brother. Isn't younger brother also a brother?" Chang Wuniang said: "That's strange, I've never heard that Xiang Tianming has another apprentice." Dongfang Liang imitated her tone and said: "That's strange, I don't seem to have ever heard that you and my master are, are..." Chang Wuniang said: "What is it?" Dongfang Liang said: "Hee, hee, yes, are you an old friend?" Chang Wuniang said angrily: "You are dead, how dare you molest my old lady!" Dongfang Liang said: "You are not the teacher's old friend, the teacher accepts another disciple, why should I tell you?" Chang Wuniang said: "It's unreasonable, I'm telling you the truth..." Dongfang Liang said: "I'm not joking with you either!" Chang Wuniang said angrily: "If I don't give you a taste, you don't know..." Suddenly she turned around and rushed towards Lan Yujing. What she just said was clearly aimed at Dongfang Liang, but whoever wanted to get her suddenly attacked Lan Yujing. But Dongfang Liang expected it. "As closed as closed", "Dragon leaps into the abyss"!As soon as Chang Wuniang moved, Dongfang Liang called out these two moves first. He was reminding Lan Yujing to use these two tricks to deal with Chang Wuniang. Lan Yujing reacted very quickly, but if he was attacked in a hurry without being reminded by others, he would definitely not be able to think of the best response in this instant. Lan Yujing practiced swordsmanship with him for seven days, and as soon as he heard the name of the move, he used it without thinking. The swords and swords intersected, clanging several times, coming and going quickly, and when Lan Yujing touched the ground on her toes, Chang Wuniang was already standing in her original position, her long and short knives were sheathed, and she was looking at him with a smile .Of course, Lan Yujing's excellent lightness kung fu is something Lan Yujing has never seen before, and the speed with which she draws the sword and the speed with which she withdraws it is indescribable. In an instant, the weapons of the two sides collided seven or eight times. To be more precise, he said that this "in an instant" was the time when Lan Yujing used the first move of "like a seal". The second move "Dragon Leaps into the Abyss", his figure is pulled up from the ground, and then stabbed in the air.With Chang Wuniang's swiftness, when his sword stabbed down from above, of course it didn't even touch the corner of her clothes. When his figure was pulled up, he could almost feel that Chang Wuniang's short knife was cutting against the sole of his shoe.He took off his shoes and found that the original dirt on the soles had been scraped clean by the blade. Lan Yujing thought to herself in amazement: "If I hadn't made the dragon jump into the abyss, I'm afraid half of her leg would have been cut off!" Chang Wuniang seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if I damage your shoes, I will pay you a new pair. Well, little brother, how old are you this year, fifteen or sixteen? Little Even though you have to be instructed by your senior brother, these two tricks are really difficult for you!" Lan Yujing praised her, her face flushed.He remembered Dongfang Liang's instructions, no matter what Chang Wuniang said to him, he should not answer. Chang Wuniang asked again: "You are Dongfang Liang's younger brother, why do you have Wudang School's moves in your swordsmanship?" Lan Yujing was very surprised, and thought to herself: "So she just tested my martial arts just now, but how come she also understands my Wudang swordsmanship?" Chang Wuniang said: "Hey, is your junior brother dumb?" Dongfang Liang said: "Of course he is not dumb, he just doesn't like to talk." After finishing speaking, he drew his sword out of its sheath suddenly, and said to Lan Yujing: "Your two moves are good, but they are not perfect. You can see clearly!" With the two moves of Rushenshiguan and Longyue Abyss, Lan Yujing Yujing was convinced and felt ashamed of himself.想道：“要是我使得这样好，如封似闭这招就可以把她的双刀夺出手去，龙跃深渊那凌空下刺，料她也决计躲闪不开。” 常五娘格格笑道：“小亮，你是向我示威吗？” 东方亮道：“不敢，我只是帮我的师弟向你解释，现在你该明白了吗？你总不至于说我的剑法也是武当派的吧？” 常五娘笑道：“不错，是我忘记了。令师祖和武当派的掌门人三十六年前是交过手的。不过，你的聪明，看来更在令师祖之上。” 东方亮淡淡道：“多谢你给我脸上贴金。正因为敝师祖当年曾得与无相真人切磋剑术，所以在他所创的剑法之中，也就把武当派剑术的精华融化进去了。他老人家精思好学，不仅采纳了武当派的长处，其他各派的长处，他也是兼容并包的。” 常五娘道：“但我还有一事未明，想要请教。” 东方亮眉头一皱，道：“请说。”这两个字显然说得甚为勉强。 常五娘道：“据我所知，令师虽可说得是青出于蓝，但他的剑法也还未出令师祖的范围之内。比较起来，你的剑法之'青出于蓝'则似乎'出'得更多了，就以刚才那两招而论，令师就决计使不出来，这又是什么原故？” 东方亮道：“青出于蓝这四个字我是绝不敢当的，剑法的变化，倒是颇有一些。其中原故，我不说你也应该知道。” 话中之意已是含有“心照不宣”在内，也不知常五娘是真的不懂还是假的不懂，仍要打破沙锅问到底：“你不说我怎么知道？” 东方亮道：“这很简单，只因为我比师祖更多一些和武当派高手切磋的机会。” 这句话在常五娘听来，“高手”二字即使不是指无相真人、无色长老，这两个顶尖的高手，最少也是指武当派“不”字辈如不波不岐这些高手。心中想道：“他不怕给这少年知道他上武当山挑战之事，这个少年纵然不是他的师弟，大概也不会是我要我的那个人了。”要知她之所以打破沙锅问到底，目的就是在想要查明蓝玉京的身份。 但这句话在蓝玉京听来，想法却又不同了。他想，“东方大哥也未免说得太过份了，怎能把我说成武当派的高手呢？”又想：“原来他的师门和本派还有这样一段渊源，他一直没有说出来，这又是什么原故。难道到了如今，他都未曾把我当作朋友吗？”只觉这个东方大哥好像谜样的人物，而这个叫做常五娘的女人，则更加处处透着“古怪”。 常五娘虽然不敢断定蓝玉京的身份，但对东方亮的话却仍然是半信半疑，微笑道：“如此说来，你不但比令师祖聪明，也比令师祖更加幸运。” 东方亮哼了一声，没有回答。 常五娘道：“那天你下山的时候只是独自一人，你是在什么时候什么地方碰上你这师弟的？” 东方亮忍耐不住，板起脸孔道：“五娘，你是老江湖，我也想要向你请教一事。” 常五娘道：“好说，何事？” 东方亮道：“不该知道的事情，最好莫向别人打听。江湖上是不是有这么一条禁忌？” 常五娘道：“不错。” 东方亮道：“好，那就请吧！” 常五娘变了面色，勉强笑道：“小亮儿，你这是什么意思，要撵我走么？你的师父也不敢对我这样无礼！” 东方亮道：“师父和你有交情，那是师父的事。我这个人嘛，却是不买任何人的交情，去做任何自己不愿意做的事的。你恼我无礼，大可以到师父跟前告我的状。” 常五娘道：“你不愿意说的，我当然不会勉强你说。不过……” 东方亮道：“没什么'不过'了，我已经言尽于此！” 常五娘笑道：“你言尽了，我可还未曾言尽呢。” 东方亮冷冷说道：“那你去找喜欢听你说话的人去说吧！” 常五娘笑道：“这话正是你要我和你说的啊！” 东方亮一怔道：“我要你说什么？” 常五娘道：“你这么快就忘记了吗，我一来的时候，你就问我，为什么我现在还在这个地方，现在我就是要告诉你这件事。” 东方亮道：“现在我不想知道了。” 常五娘道：“听不听随便你，说不说可由得我。凭着我和你师父的交情，你既然问了，我就该说。” 东方亮道：“好，江湖上的禁忌你比我知道得多，你高兴说就尽管说。”弦外之音：你若说出不中听的话来，可休怪我不客气。 常五娘道：“你不必担心，我只是说我自己的事。唉，这次我真是倒霉透顶，在武当山上和一个道姑交手，她用的兵器是一支拂尘，她中了我一枚青蜂针，我却也被她的一根尘丝射进了穴道。花了几天功夫，还未能将它炼化。这就是为什么我迟至今天还在此地的原因。喂，小亮儿，你对武当派的剑法甚为熟悉，这个道姑是能够用拂尘使出剑法的，你可知道她是谁吗？” 东方亮道：“武当山上的道姑，我怎会知道？” 这次他说的倒是实话，那日他上武当山挑战，不悔师太虽然在场，但却并没出头露面，也没和他交过手，武当派有数百弟子之多，他又岂能全都认识。 但他不知道，蓝玉京却是知之甚详的。 蓝玉京越听越是吃惊，“她说的这个道姑，可不正是我姐姐的师父吗？她那青蜂针不知是什么玩意，不悔师太的内功造诣听说甚为不错，大概不至于有什么事的。哼，这个女人不知因何原故跑到武当山上和不悔师太交手，料想也不会是什么好人了，怪不得东方大哥不想理睬她。” 他哪知道，令他吃惊的还在后头。 常五娘续道：“这个道姑你不知道。那么蓝靠山这个人你知不知道？” 蓝玉京大吃一惊，“怎么她连我的爹爹也都知道。” 东方亮道：“蓝靠山是什么人？” 他对常五娘的秘密略有所知，但知之不详。蓝玉京的养父是蓝靠山这节，他确实不知。他虽然讨厌常五娘问个不休，但想她总算没说出他上武当山挑战一事，已经是知所“避忌”了，因而也就不能不稍为给她一点面子。 常五娘道：“蓝靠山是在武当山上种菜的。” 东方亮道：“五娘，你不是没事来消遣我吧？我还以为你问的是什么名人呢。” 常五娘道：“蓝靠山虽然是个微不足道的小人物，但他有个好朋友却是大大有名，无相真人的关门弟子、武当派未来的掌门人，你大概总会知道？”牟沧浪接任掌门一事是在东方亮下山之后发生的，东方亮和蓝玉京也都未曾知道。 但常五娘说起的这个人，东方亮却不能推说不知了，“你是说不岐道长吧，他是那个姓蓝的朋友又怎么样？” 常五娘道：“蓝靠山有个儿子，但并不是他亲生的儿子，是不岐托他抚养的。” 蓝玉京心头大震：“这不是说到我的头上了吗？嗯，那谣言、那谣言难道竟是真的？” 东方亮道：“那又怎样？” 常五娘道：“也没怎样。不岐恐怕这孩子将来知道自己的来历，已经把蓝靠山夫妇杀掉灭口了。我就是因为在那天恰好撞上这件事情，所以……” 话犹未了，蓝玉京已是大叫起来：“你胡说！” 这下可泄了底了！常五娘出手如电，一把就抓着他，冷笑说道：“你怎么知道我是胡说的？”她出手太快，东方亮要想援救亦已不及。 东方亮喝道：“放开他！” 常五娘道：“他又不是你的师弟，你这么帮他干嘛？” 东方亮道：“不管他是谁，我要你放开他！” 常五娘道：“你不知道他是谁，我可知道他是谁，他是耿玉京！” 蓝玉京不能动弹，叫道：“胡说，我不姓耿！” 常五娘笑道：“你对自己的事情，知道得也未免太少了。你若想要知道多一些，跟我走吧。你可以认我做干娘。” 蓝玉京早已感觉到自己的身世是有点可疑了，姐姐叫他不要相信那些“谣言”。可那些谣言却还是像阴魂似困扰着他。要是有一个能令他相信的人，把真相告诉他，那该多好！ 可是这个女人他能够相信吗？他就是死了，也不愿认这个女人做干娘。 “胡说八道，我才不信你的鬼话呢！你这妖妇居然想做我的干娘，那是作梦！放开我，放开我，放开我！”蓝玉京叫道。 常五娘格格笑道：“假如鬼会说话，对你而言，恐怕也只有鬼话才是真话。活着的人，都是不肯和你说真话的，除开我是例外。还有你骂我妖妇，纵然过份一些，我也不会生气。因为我本来就不是个好女人。不过我要告诉你的是，你的干爹也不见得比我好了多少。如果我不配做你的干娘，他更不配做你的干爹！” 蓝玉京怒道：“要嘛你就放我，要嘛你就杀我，我不许你含血喷人！” 东方亮喝道：“听见没有，我叫你放人！这是第三次了，事不过三，可休怪我不再客气了！” 常五娘拈着一根毒针，针尖上发出蓝色的光芒，对着蓝玉京背脊的大椎穴，说道：“你敢动一动，这枚青蜂针就会刺进他的穴道！” 东方亮道：“好，你若害了他，我就杀死你！你相信不相信我有杀你的本领？” “我相信。但请你也相信我一句话！” "Say!" “你以为我想害他，那是完全错了！” “你不想害他，抓他去做什么？” “我一点也不想害他，只不过他对我很有用处。所以你不必担心，我要保护他还来不及呢。” "What's the use?" “别人的秘密，知道得越少越好，这也是江湖上的禁忌！” “好，你不肯说那就算了。但我也有个好处给你，你肯不肯和我交换？” "What good?" “我可以帮你把那根尘丝炼化，免你终身受苦。” “这个好处大小，别的人也能帮我。” 东方亮道：“不错，唐二先生也能帮你，但恐怕你不敢把因何受伤的原故告诉他吧？” 常五娘道：“或者敢，或者不敢，我自己也未知道。但总而言之，我宁愿受苦，这孩子是不能交还你的。” 东方亮道：“你想要什么好处？” 常五娘道：“我想要一个称心如意的丈夫，你能够给我么？” 东方亮道：“我不能给你，但我可以取你的性命！” 常五娘道：“你可以取我的性命，别的人也可以取你的性命。而且，你先要赔上这孩子的一条性命！” 东方亮说道：“不错，唐二先生大概也有本领杀我。但假如我把你刚才说的那句话告诉他，他就未必会杀我。” 常五娘道：“你要挟不了我的，我敢说那句话，就准备你告诉他。”说罢就走。 东方亮道：“喂，没有商量的余地吗？” 常五娘笑道：“交易做不成，我还留在这里做什么？” 蓝玉京叫道：“大哥，不必顾我。我宁死也不能落在这妖妇手中。” 东方亮却道：“好，我让你将他带走，只不过我还要跟他说句话。” 常五娘道：“有屁快放，有话快说！” 东方亮突然一掌打在蓝玉京身上，他用的是隔物传功，想以迅雷不及掩耳的手段令蓝玉京得以脱出常五娘的掌握。 他已经无法可想，只好行此险着。 可惜这险着只成功了一半。 常五娘虽然给他的内力震开，但那枚青蜂针却已插进了蓝玉京背脊的大椎穴。 常五娘跃出三丈开外，冷笑说道：“你若是舍得不要蓝玉京的性命，那就来杀我吧！” 东方亮一言不发，伸掌在蓝玉京的背脊一拍，那枚青蜂针弹了出来。青蜂针是要见血才能令人中毒的，东方亮拈起青蜂针，不怕中毒。 常五娘笑道：“青蜂针是被你取出来的，只可惜青蜂针的解药，只我才有。” 东方亮喝道：“把解药拿来！” 常五娘道：“除非你把这小子交给我，否则就拿我的命换他的命吧！” 东方亮冷冷道：“你以为我就没法拿到你的解药吗？” 常五娘笑道：“依我看嘛，恐怕你即使是杀了我，也还是不行的。因为我身上的毒药和解药少说也有十多种，你若是弄错了，这小子立即就得送命。你敢不敢冒这个险？” 东方亮道：“咱们走着瞧！”说话之时，右掌已是按着蓝玉京的背心，跟着说道：“小兄弟，你把真气凝聚，护着心房，能够支撑多久就多久，你若死了，我替你报仇。”他掌按蓝玉京的背心，正是助他收束真气的。 常五娘笑道：“你当真要和我动手吗？”她貌作有恃无恐，心里其实亦已有点发慌。 东方亮道：“你不给我面子，我为什么要和你客气？”说时迟，那时快，身形疾起，已是追上了常五娘。常五娘的轻功本来不弱于他。刚才若是要逃跑的话，是可以逃脱的。但她患得患失，略一踌躇，已是被东方亮的剑光罩着了。 常五娘双刀出鞘，只听得铮铮数声响过，双刀都只剩下了刀柄。 常五娘把心一横，喝道：“好，你杀了我吧！” 东方亮不说话，但手中的招数却是丝毫不缓，剑光霍霍，绕着常五娘的身子展开。常五娘遍体生寒，头皮发麻，她不知东方亮要怎样对付她，心想这小子若是在我脸上划上几道伤痕，把我变成个丑八怪，这可糟糕。她纵然不怕死，也怕东方亮将她“消遣”。 东方亮的剑势已是将她圈住，她却是只能像没头苍蝇一样，在冻窗上乱撞了。 常五娘又是吃惊，又是诧异。要知她是曾经和不悔道姑交过手的，不悔是武当派有数的高手，她也能够和不悔拼个两败俱伤，可说相差不了多少。也正因此，她只道自己纵然不敌东方亮，最不济也可以抵敌三二百招，哪知才不过数招、就弄到如斯狼狈，她惊诧不已，暗自想道：“这小子的剑法怎的如此了得，似乎比他的师父还要高明？他的师父号称剑圣，按说决不逊于武当派的一流高手，他就已青出于蓝，又何以在武当山上铩羽而归？”她哪里知道，东方亮的剑术是在这几天中突飞猛进的。她被攻得手忙脚乱，想脱出东方亮的剑光圈子都不能够，哪里还能使出毒功？甚至即使能够腾出手来，她也不敢。因为自己的功力不及对方，万一偷袭不成，那就会反害自己了。 哪知她虽然不敢对东方亮使用喂毒暗器，却仍然逃不过被自己的毒针反刺之灾。 东方亮的剑光将她圈住，把那枚从蓝玉京身上取出来的毒针轻轻弹出，吹一口气，毒针就像“活”了一般，如影随形的跟着常五娘身形移动。常五娘眼看着毒针飞来，亦是无法躲避。“嗤”的一声，毒针刺入她的酥胸。 蓝玉京坐在地上运功，中毒虽深，发作却慢，常五娘是在打斗中中毒的，不过片刻，麻痒之感已是蔓延全身，十分难受，毒气冲近心房，眼睛也开始发黑了。陡然间只觉皮肤凉飕飕，衣裳被剑尖划破，当的一声，一个小小的玉瓶落下，“卜”的一声，跟着一个盒子落下…… 东方亮以迅捷无伦的剑法，在她的衣裳上划开了十几道裂缝，把藏在她身上的瓶子、盒子、小竹筒、中空的指环，以及其他一切物件全都用剑尖挑落，东方亮冷笑道：“把解药捡出来，若敢弄假，那就只能害你自己！” 到了这个田地，常五娘还有什么好说，只好乖乖从命了。当下捡出解药，双手奉上。东方亮接过解药，把地上那些物件全都踏得粉碎。溶入泥中。常五娘暗暗吃惊，心想好在不曾弄假。这解药是分成两包的，常五娘不待他发问，便说道：“红色的内服，白色的外敷。” 东方亮分一半给她，看着她服下解药，这才交给蓝玉京。然后脱下自己穿的一件外套，抛给常五娘，挥一挥手。 常五娘衣裳上被剑尖划开的裂缝少说也有十七八道，肤质细致，尽现眼前，饶她一向风骚，此时也不禁满面羞惭，披上东方亮的外套，转身就跑。 蓝玉京笑得掉下眼泪，说道：“大哥，你这一手可是做得真绝！”他刚刚服下解药，药力尚未发挥作用，一笑之下，真气泄了不少，胸口登时又再隐隐作痛。 忽听得常五娘的笑声也从远处传来，跟着阴阳怪气他说道：“蓝玉京，你这傻小子，你以为东方亮真是好人吗，他帮你，不过是想要骗你的剑法罢了。嘿嘿，你想不想知道他的底细！从他师祖这一代算起，已经是和你们武当派结下三代仇怨了！” 青蜂针是常五娘的独门暗器，毒药解药也都是她亲手制炼，疗毒之法，可说没人能胜过她，她服下解药，运气导引，不需多久，药力已是运行四肢，轻功亦已恢复。她料准东方亮要留在蓝玉京的身边守护，无暇追她，即使敢来追她，她的轻功已经恢复，也不怕会给他追上，她从容把话说完，这才飘然远行。 蓝玉京当然不会相信她的话，暗自想道：“东方大哥和我拆招，使我得到的益处更多，怎能算得行骗？不过，那'三代仇怨'之说，却不知道是怎么回事？哼，那妖妇说的岂能相信。” 东方亮似乎看透他的心思，微笑说道：“小兄弟，你信不信这妖妇的话？” 蓝玉京道：“大哥，你当我是三岁小孩么？我刚刚被她刺了一支毒针，还会相信她的鬼话！” 东方亮道：“好，你既然不信，那就不必胡思乱想了。静下打坐运功法毒，待你好了我再告诉你，你想要知道的一些事情。” 蓝玉京打坐运功，他的内功心法是无相真人亲自传授的，一旦心无杂念，不知不觉就进入了物我两忘的境界。 东方亮在旁守护，心潮却是起伏不定：“常五娘说得不错，我确是在骗这天
