Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Confusion

Yun Ziluo couldn't help smiling wryly in her heart, and thought: "So he was talking about Miao Changfeng. Yes, this man is indeed a heroic man, a hero among men. But no matter how good he is, I will never marry him. Mo Saying that my husband is still alive, even if Yang Mu is dead, my heart already belongs to someone else." Of course, she couldn't say these things to her aunt. Mrs. Xiao saw that she was silent, thought she was a little tempted, and continued: "Just now you laughed at me and made a big comment. In fact, this is me picking up people's teeth. It was originally said by Miao Changfeng. One day Shao Shudu asked him why he was four years old. Ten has not yet married a wife. He said: Marrying a wife is not just for carrying on the family line. When you get old and find someone you like, you will be afraid of other girls, and you will not marry me. He said: I don’t have too high corners of my eyes. It’s very common to say that I want her to have the gentleness of a woman. , with the pride of a man in his heart. Shao Shudu smiled and said: "I also said that it is common for a girl like this. I have lived for a long time, and I have never seen it. He said that if there is such a person, it doesn't matter if she is a widow. Why bother?" Do you want a girl with yellow flowers? After he followed him, I sent out the set of arguments I told you just now. After I said it, I sighed again: Marriage, marriage, I’m afraid it’s just a word. If I don’t have the chance to meet someone, I can really The person I like, I would rather not marry in this life."

"Ziluo, just now you talked to me about the child Xian'er and He Nian. If you said that you let them meet according to fate, I feel that your views coincide with his, and you are also his. The person you are looking for!" "If it were someone else, I would never dare to be a matchmaker for you, but Miao Changfeng is different. He is a person who speaks and does what he says. I can guarantee that if he likes you, he will never dislike you. A mother with a child." Yun Ziluo thought to herself: "Yang Mu also knows that I have a child and want me, but I have never been happy after marrying him. Now I am not forced by the situation, I can raise the child in a legitimate way Why bother to trouble yourself for no reason?" So he said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, auntie, but my niece is calm and calm!"

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, "Okay, then just pretend that I haven't said these words." Sure enough, from then on, Yun Ziluo's aunt never mentioned Miao Changfeng to her again.Unknowingly, seven days later, Shao Shudu has not returned.This morning, Yun Ziluo got up early, bored alone, went to Meilin to relax.The plum blossoms are in full bloom. Looking at the plum forest, the branches are full of red, and the flowers are as bright as the sea.The depression in Yun Ziluo's heart dissipated a lot immediately, and she thought: "I haven't practiced sword skills for many days, the three-stroke sword skills that my father taught me, since I defeated Diancang Shuangsha with it, I have It seems that I have realized some changes, but I haven't tried it yet, so I just use the plum blossoms in full bloom to practice my new moves." Immediately, I started my swordsmanship in the plum forest, and when I reached the sick place, I flew lightly, slashed There is a plum blossom.

The plum branch trembled slightly, and besides the plum blossom falling, two leaves followed.Yun Ziluo shook her head, thinking to herself: "I still haven't mastered my swordsmanship yet." It turns out that the word "Qingling" is the most important thing in the Jianyun swordsmanship handed down by her family.The swordsmanship of the various sects in the Central Plains all have their own unique features, but when it comes to lightness, agility and flying movement, the Jianyun swordsmanship must be ranked first.Especially the three moves of swordsmanship created by her father in his later years, although the changes are complicated and wonderful, but they are done in one go, and they are very light and agile.

If these three sword techniques are practiced to the level of perfection, you can cut off a petal at will from a branch full of flowers. The branch will not shake, the leaves will not fall, and the other petal of the same flower will never be damaged.Now that Yun Ziluo cut off a plum blossom, but also touched two leaves, it is still quite far away from the state of perfection. Yun Ziluo concentrated and calmed down, putting gains and losses behind her, and the spirit altar was completely clear, her mind was in harmony with the spirit, and the spirit was in harmony with the sword. She re-executed the sword technique she had comprehended. In the end, she finally cut off three plum blossoms as she wanted. , the branches and leaves do not shake.

Yun Ziluo was full of joy, but when she looked down, she saw plum blossoms all over the place, the residual red was mixed with mud, and the lingering fragrance drifted away with the wind. The joy in her heart could not help but vanish into nothingness. "In order to practice this sword technique, so many plum blossoms have been wasted. What's the difference between burning qin and boiling cranes?" She originally loved plum blossoms the most, but when she sighed, she suddenly thought of her own life experience, and this muddy plum blossom, Are there no similarities?Thinking of this, I can't help feeling even more sad, which is hard to stop.

When I was a child, I read a poem chanting plum blossoms, which suddenly came to my mind. This poem is "Bu Suanzi" written by the poet Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty. Wind and rain. Unintentionally struggling for spring, let the crowd be jealous. Scattered into mud and dust, only the fragrance remains the same." Originally, Lu You's poem was based on the plum blossom's integrity, but at this moment, Yun Ziluo associated the "scattered into mud and dust" plum blossom in front of her with the misfortune of her life.Thinking of the death of her husband, the difficult future of her lover, and the fact that her aunt has to be a matchmaker for herself, she couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart.Although it is sunny and sunny in front of her eyes, it is rainy and windy dusk in her heart. She is looking forward to the sky and unable to return home. She feels like a plum blossom "beside the broken bridge outside the post station, blooming lonely without an owner".

My heart was filled with melancholy, and I couldn't help myself. Unknowingly, I read the word silently in my heart, and said it out of my mouth. Suddenly someone praised: "Good swordsmanship! Good words!" Yun Ziluo was startled suddenly, she almost jumped up in fright, when she looked up, she saw a man in yellow shirt with short beard standing in front of him. The man in the yellow shirt was Miao Changfeng. Yun Ziluo couldn't help but blushed, like a girl who had accidentally discovered the secret in her heart. Miao Changfeng gave a salute, and said: "I shouldn't have peeked at the girl's swordsmanship, but the girl's swordsmanship is really too exquisite. I passed by here and took a look, but I couldn't help myself not to look at it."

Yun Ziluo returned the salute, and said: "Mr. Miao has won the award. I'm afraid that I'm just playing tricks in front of Mr. Miao with my shameful swordsmanship. It's ridiculous." Miao Changfeng was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Excuse me for being abrupt, but I dare to ask the girl Gao's name. We don't seem to have met before?" I was a little strange, I don't know how Yun Ziluo knew his name. Yun Ziluo said: "My surname is Yun, and my name is Ziluo. Mrs. Xiao is my aunt, and I have only been here for a few days." Miao Changfeng smiled and said: "So that's the case, no wonder I just came here a few days ago, but I didn't see the girl."

Yun Ziluo said: "I heard from my aunt that Mr. Miao came with Chen Daxia Chen Tianyu's second son." Miao Changfeng said: "That's right, but this time I came here for my own business, Second Young Master Chen has other business, he can't accompany me to be Shao's guest again." Yun Ziluo said: "Uncle Shao happened to leave home the second day after I came. He said he was going to pay homage to Daxia Chen's house. Didn't you see him?" Miao Changfeng said: "Really, so I missed the opportunity to meet Shao Shudu." Then he said: "Shao Shudu is not at home, and I see Aunt Ling is the same. I don't know if Miss Yun wants to practice swordsmanship again?"

Yun Ziluo said, "I'll accompany Mr. Miao to see my aunt." When the two walked out of the plum forest, Miao Changfeng suddenly said, "I'm meeting the girl for the first time, and I have something to say, I don't know if I should ask it or not?" Yun Ziluo felt a little puzzled: "I don't know what he wants to ask me?" She was originally a dignified and free-spirited chivalrous woman, not comparable to a petty girl, so she immediately said generously: "Mr. Miao, please tell me. " Miao Changfeng said: "Young lady's cloud-climbing swordsmanship is light and agile, like a horse flying in the sky, and cannot be restrained. But it doesn't seem to match Lu You's poem about plum blossoms?" The meaning in the words is to ask Why did Yun Ziluo recite such a sad poem after practicing such a free and easy sword technique? Yun Ziluo said lightly: "It's nothing, I just thought of this poem occasionally because I saw the plum blossoms falling and getting muddy." Miao Changfeng said with a smile: "I've always talked nonsense, please don't take offense, girl. I think that life is often unsatisfactory, and sometimes it is inevitable for a person to suddenly feel emotional and melancholy for no reason. But it seems that being sentimental is not what I was born for. Yes. Especially here in the West Dongting Mountain, you can see the vast Taihu Lake if you look around. Our minds should be more broad-minded. Well, I am talking nonsense, and the girl will not blame me for my shallow words, right?" For a man who had just met her to say such things to her, it was indeed a shallow exchange of words.Yun Ziluo thought in her heart: "This person is good to be a friend." Then she smiled and said: "I think I am not a too sentimental woman, but I still want to thank Mr. Miao for his kind words." Miao Changfeng laughed and said, "Maybe I'm used to wandering around the rivers and lakes. Even if there are big troubles, I will forget them in a blink of an eye. For example, let's talk about those scattered plum blossoms. When I see them, I think of them." Here are two more lines." Yun Ziluo aroused his interest, so she asked him without realizing it, "Which two sentences are they?" Miao Changfeng said: "'Luohong is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers.' Thinking of these two lines of poems, I will not be sad for plum blossoms." Yun Ziluo sighed in her heart, thinking: "If I can be as free and easy as him, I can avoid many troubles." The two chatted and talked, and before they knew it, they had already returned to Aunt Yun Ziluo's house. Seeing that Yun Ziluo brought Miao Changfeng here, Mrs. Xiao was both surprised and delighted, and said, "What brought you here again? Well, you already know my niece, so there's no need for me to give it to you." You introduced." After sitting down, Miao Changfeng said, "I came here to inquire about something." Mrs. Xiao was an impatient person, she said: "Wait a minute, I also want to ask you something. Are you from the Chen family?" Miao Changfeng said: "That's right. Father and son Chen Tianyu and Chen Guangshi are going to Mount Tai to participate in a ceremony for the reconstruction of the Fusang Sect in the Central Plains, so the Second Young Master Chen can't come." Mrs. Xiao said: "I'm not asking Mr. Chen, what I want to ask is whether Shao Shudu has been to Chen's house?" Miao Changfeng said: "I don't know. I haven't seen him." Mrs. Xiao said: "When did you leave the Chen family?" Miao Changfeng said: "Three days ago." Mrs. Xiao felt a little worried, and said: "Shao Shudu has been away from home for seven days. It is said that he can reach Chen's house in two days, but you haven't seen him. Where is he?" Miao Changfeng said with a smile: "Shao Shudu is very talented and has a lot of experience in the world. Are you afraid that he will lose? I think he may have gone to Mount Tai. I heard that Mou Zongtao, the head of the Fusang Sect, said that The main purpose is to establish a sect in the Central Plains and to establish a sect with great fanfare, inviting well-known figures in the Jianghu. Although Shao Shudu did not receive the invitation, it was because Mou Zongtao did not know his address. Old Shao thought he heard this news, and wanted to meet a group of friends who are hard to see in normal times. He expected that Mou Zongtao would never think that he came here without invitation." Mrs. Xiao thought to herself: "That's right, Uncle went to Mount Tai for a meeting. It is more convenient to inquire about the whereabouts of my son than to just go to Chen's house." Then she smiled and said, "Then why don't you go?" Miao Changfeng smiled and said, "I originally wanted to go, but because I wanted to ask you about something, I couldn't join in the fun." Mrs. Xiao already understood in her heart: "Presumably he wants to inquire about Lian Ganpei's matter." Before thinking about it, she heard Miao Changfeng continue to say: "Sister Xiao, after I left, has there ever been a Has someone surnamed Lian been here to look for me?" Mrs. Xiao said: "That's right, there is a man named Lian Ganpei who ran here to retreat. He was overconfident and dared to beg for us. Probably your enemy?" Miao Changfeng said: "What happened next?" Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, "You should thank my niece, it was Ziluo who helped you get rid of this surnamed Lian. Hey, hey, this person dares to come against you. I think he must be very capable. Who Knowing that Ziluo made a move, he had to run away with his tail between his legs, but then again, although this person's ability is not very good, it can be regarded as quite good. If Ziluo hadn't used the cloud-climbing sword technique, I'm afraid it's really not easy to send him away." Yun Ziluo was a little embarrassed, and said: "This man's kung fu in acupressure with two brushes is indeed very good. I managed to get away with a move by luck, but it was Uncle Shao and Auntie who drove him away." Miao Changfeng said: "Unexpectedly, it caused you trouble. Do you know the origin of this surname Lian?" Mrs. Xiao said: "At most, it's a member of the 'Shocking Pen' Lian family. Although I am a girl with low skills, I am not afraid of the Lian family." Miao Changfeng said: "Sister-in-law Xiao, you are a hero among women. Even if Gan Pei's uncle, Lian Chenghu, who once competed with Jin Zhuliu and Li Nanxing, has not lost his martial arts skills, he may not be your opponent. However, we It's not the Lian family who's afraid—" Mrs. Xiao said: "Who is that?" Miao Changfeng said: "As far as I know, Lian Ganpei has already joined the Beigong Wangmen, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army." Mrs. Xiao was taken aback, and said, "You mean he has become a Qing court eagle dog?" She thought to herself, "Shao Shudu guessed it right." Miao Changfeng said: "That's right, but he worked secretly for the Qing court, and most people in the Jianghu don't know about it. There are still several martial arts scum like him. Shi Chaoji, who suddenly disappeared in the Jianghu, is also one of them." one." Mrs. Xiao said she was not afraid, but she was actually a little worried in her heart.You must know that those who offend the Imperial Forest Army may be accused of rebellion at any time, leading to the disaster of extermination.Yes, although Mrs. Xiao sympathizes with those who oppose the Qing Dynasty, she is still unwilling to get involved in the whirlpool.I thought to myself: "I still have revenge against my husband, if I become a 'criminal', it will be a big trouble." Miao Changfeng said: "Sister-in-law Xiao, I'm really sorry that I have troubled you. Sigh, I'm afraid you won't be able to live in this place any longer." Mrs. Xiao is a heroine after all, although she had some concerns, she immediately thought: "What's the use of being afraid?" Thinking of this, she became proud and said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm used to being my family all over the world. Yes. However, Brother Miao, I didn’t know that you were also a member of the Rebel Army!” Miao Changfeng smiled and said: "I know some people in the rebel army. If they say to join the rebel army and be a leader, then I am not worthy!" Yun Ziluo said: "Mr. Miao is polite." Miao Changfeng said: "I'm not being polite. I'm a wild horse that's not being restrained. Even if I want to join the rebel army, I'm afraid they won't dare to accept me." After finishing speaking, he laughed. Mrs. Xiao said: "Then why did Lian Ganpei come to arrest you? Could it be a personal grudge?" Miao Changfeng said: "There is a little personal grievance, but it's not a big deal. About five years ago, when I passed by Lianjiazhuang one day, I happened to meet him arguing with a farmer. At that time, his shocking brushwork probably hadn't Even if you practice it well, you haven't joined Bei Gongwang's sect yet." "He and the farmer were walking on their own, and met each other on a single-plank bridge. The farmer was carrying two buckets of dung, so it was inconvenient for him to go back on the single-plank bridge. He refused to give in." "I couldn't stop arguing and started arguing. As the saying goes, there is nothing good to say when you scold each other. The farmer couldn't help but say a few foul words. Lian Ganpei became angry and said with a sneer: "Okay, if you don't want to give way, then you Just stand here!" The folding fan lightly tapped the farmer's acupoint, and said slowly again: "Okay, you can stand as long as you like, unless you beg me to let you go, otherwise you are Don’t even think about leaving again, no one can save you!” After finishing speaking, he straightened his long gown and flew over the farmer’s head like a bird.” "I was annoyed that he was bullying the countryman, and his tone was too arrogant, so I decided to play him. When he passed the farmer's head with the lightness of 'Huang Hu Chong', I threw two stones into the dung bucket , His white gown was immediately splashed with feces." "Of course he was furious at this moment, and ran towards me angrily, but he finally didn't dare to attack." Yun Ziluo was amused and said with a smile: "Although it's a prank, it's the best way to punish the villain with a prank. Why doesn't that guy dare to act out?" Miao Changfeng said: "I then threw a stone and unraveled his unique acupuncture technique, and the farmer was able to walk suddenly. It was inexplicable, thinking that he was tricked by his evil method, but this evil method was given to the passing gods. It was solved, so I carried two buckets of dung home with my mouth full of curses." "Lian Ganpei didn't dare to attack when he saw that I had broken his unique acupuncture technique. Please ask me for my name. Then I told him that I didn't mean to embarrass you, just because you said that no one can understand your acupuncture technique." , I just tried it. Even Gan Pei probably knew that there was someone like me in Jianghu, and after hearing my name, he went back without saying a word." Mrs. Xiao said: "A villain must take revenge. He has suffered such a stupid loss, so it is no wonder that he wants to hold a grudge. But I heard that the Lian family's acupoint acupuncture is a unique martial arts secret. You But how did you figure it out?" Miao Changfeng said: "The Lian family's shocking brushwork is by no means in vain, but it can only exert its greatest power when two people work together to use four strokes to point out eight veins. Lian Ganpei's shocking brushwork I haven't practiced it yet, and secondly, I am only one person, and the point is not a hidden point, so I can crack it. If there is a real fight, and I encounter the kung fu of four strokes and eight veins, I am afraid that I can only defend and dare not let it go. They hit it off." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "Even so, your unique acupuncture technique and your extensive martial arts are already deeply admirable." Miao Changfeng said: "Sister-in-law Xiao, thank you for putting gold on my face. Fortunately, I have a thick skin, otherwise I would really make you blush." ​​But he didn't know that Mrs. Xiao was deliberately praising him in front of Yun Ziluo of. Yun Ziluo said: "But he came aggressively that day, if it was just for such a trivial matter, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the case." Miao Changfeng said: "Yes, of course he is not only for this trivial matter. He is now Bei Gongwang's subordinate, and he has a nominal job in the Yulin Army. It can only be said that he is taking advantage of the convenience, using public affairs to benefit private interests, and public avenge .Because although I didn't join the Rebel Army, Chengbei Palace Wang 'respected', but he has already listed me as a prisoner of the imperial court." Mrs. Xiao was taken aback, and asked, "How did you become a prisoner?" Miao Changfeng said: "The thing is like this, there is a law of heaven in the Jianghu, do you know it?" Mrs. Xiao said: "I heard that the Tianli Society is an anti-Qing organization. The current helmsman is Lin Daoxuan, who is not yet thirty years old, and is the apprentice of Jiang Haitian, the number one master in martial arts. Am I right?" Miao Changfeng said: "That's right, Jiang Haitian has four apprentices, the first disciple Ye Muhua is the deputy leader of the rebel army in Daliang Mountain, the second disciple Yu Wenxiong is a knight-errant, Lin Daoxuan is the third, and he also has a junior named Li Guangxia who is also The deputy helmsman of the Tianli Society. I don’t know Jiang Haitian’s master and apprentice, but I also have an old friend in the Tianli Society. This person’s name is Dai Mo, and his father is Dai Jun, who used to be the head of the Jingshi Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. .” Mrs. Xiao was taken aback, and said, "Isn't Han Juyuan the former head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau?" Miao Changfeng said: "Dai Jun was squeezed out by Han Juyuan. He was the head of the Zhenyuan Escort before Han Juyuan. Of course, there are other reasons for him to leave the Escort, so I don't need to go into details here." Mrs. Xiao let go of a stone in her heart, and said in her heart: "So, he and my enemy also have a relationship. Otherwise, I will have some concerns when talking to Miao Changfeng." Miao Changfeng continued: "Last year, I passed by Baoding and visited Dai Mo at the head of the Tianlihui, hoping to get acquainted with Lin and Li. Unexpectedly, Lin Daoxuan and Li Guangxia were not at home. I was a guest in the Tianlihui and waited for them to come back. Unexpectedly, on the third night, there was a surprise attack!" Yun Ziluo was taken aback, and asked, "Who is so bold that dared to sneak attack on the main rudder of the Tianlihui?" Miao Changfeng said: "They are the masters of the Imperial Forest Army sent by Bei Gongwang, there are as many as 18 people, and the leader is Bei Gongwang's senior brother Ximen Zhuo. It is said that this man's martial arts is not as good as his junior, but he practiced the Blood God Palm But it is extremely vicious. Lin and Li are not here, the enemy is strong and we are weak, Dai Mo and I are in the rear, covering the brothers from the Heavenly Law Society to escape. In a fierce battle, Dai Mo was seriously injured and died. I shot and killed the opponent's seven masters, He also got Ximen Zhuo's palm, so he was lucky enough to escape, but he became a prisoner from now on." After speaking, he unbuttoned his shirt, and saw a palm print on his chest, like a fire.Miao Changfeng smiled wryly and said: "This is the mark that Ximen Zhuo left on me that night. Fortunately, I have just practiced the magical art of body protection, otherwise it would be unimaginable." Mrs. Xiao and Yun Ziluo looked at it, both Can't help but be shocked. Miao Changfeng said: "Last year, Lian Ganpei was already famous in the Imperial Forest Army, but he is the grandson of Yingclaw who does not show his face and acts as a minion, so he did not come with Ximen Zhuo that night." "Bei Gongwang and Ximen Zhuo don't know the origin of my name. According to my guess, it must be Lian Ganpei who volunteered to arrest me for the court. He is the only one of Bei Gongwang's subordinates who knows me, so this task naturally falls to him on the body." Mrs. Xiao said: "He was chased away by us a few days ago, and he was injured a little bit. I don't think he will be able to invite a master to come back so soon. Why don't you stay here for a few more days, and when Uncle Shao comes back, we If you think about it again, it's still too late, right?" Yun Ziluo said: "If Uncle Shao is going to the Mount Tai meeting, I don't know when he will be back." Miao Changfeng knew that Mrs. Xiao was reluctant to part with her home here, and said, "I had already made up my mind when I came here. I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm afraid they won't come." Mrs. Xiao was surprised: "What's your idea?" Miao Changfeng said: "When they come, I will make a deal with them. No matter what, you don't want to interfere. In this way, it's none of your business." Mrs. Xiao was displeased, and said: "Although I am a female generation, I still dare to shoulder some things." Miao Changfeng said: "That's not what I said. How dare I underestimate my sister-in-law. I just don't want to hurt you. Besides, if there is a way to get the best of both worlds, why bother to get involved in the whirlpool? Sister-in-law Xiao, if you don't agree, then I have no choice but to Let's go now." Mrs. Xiao thought to herself: "Let's agree for the time being. It's really a time when I have no choice. If I have no choice, I have to make a move." She made up her mind, so she said with a smile: "In this way, I hope that the surnamed Lian won't come so soon, and finally Fortunately, he won't come until a year or so later, so you can stay longer." Miao Changfeng said: "What I'm worried about is that I can't wait for them, because I'm afraid I can only stay here for no more than a month. If they come after I leave, it will hurt you. Therefore, I am here again for you. Got an idea." Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "I only know that your martial arts are superb, but you are still a little Zhuge who is very good at making ideas." Miao Changfeng said: "Sister-in-law, don't take offense, my idea is to wrong you." After that, he took out a few masks as thin as cicada's wings, and said: "This is the mask I came from Miaojiang ten years ago. The obtained human skin mask is very exquisitely made, light, soft and flexible, and can be stretched out to stick to the face. It is absolutely impossible for others to see through it. At that time, I collected more than ten kinds of masks for fun, and gave them as gifts. I gave some to my friends, and now there are exactly four left, just to share with you. If I can’t wait for them, and I can’t make a break with them here, then you’d better leave here.” Mrs. Xiao said: "It's hard for you to think so thoughtfully for us." One must know that she, Yun Ziluo, Shao Ziwei, and Xiao Yuexian all met Lian Ganpei, especially her, who has more acquaintances in Jianghu , if you want to go far away to avoid disaster, of course it is best not to let people see her true colors. Miao Changfeng smiled and said, "Put on this mask, even Bao Bao's acquaintances won't recognize you. But I ask you to forgive me for one thing. The owners of these masks were ugly women in their lifetime." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "I'm an old woman with chicken skin and white hair. Do I still care about my ugliness? It's just that my niece has a beautiful face. It's really a bit wronged to ask her to become a dominatrix. " Yun Ziluo said: "I'm afraid that wearing this kind of human skin mask will inevitably make me feel sick." Miao Changfeng said: "Of course you can not use it, that's the best. But it's good to stay in order to be prepared." Hearing what he said, Yun Ziluo had no choice but to accept a human skin mask, thanking him for the gift. Miao Changfeng said: "Why don't you see Ling Ai and Miss Shao?" Mrs. Xiao said, "I must have gone out to play. I'll call them back." Miao Changfeng said: "Let me call them, they will recognize my dragon chant skill." After speaking, there was a long howl, it really sounded like a dragon chant.It was so shocking that Mrs. Xiao felt her eardrums buzzing a bit.Yun Ziluo had heard his dragon singing skill on the lake that day, and she didn't think it was different.Mrs. Xiao couldn't help admiring her secretly, she thought to herself: "No wonder Uncle Du praised him for his natural talent, he is an unborn martial arts talent, he is only forty years old this year, but with his internal strength alone, he is far ahead of me. superior." After a while, Shao Ziwei and Xiao Yuexian ran back, Xiao Yuexian said: "Sister Wei and I are practicing swords in the back mountain, I don't know it's Uncle Miao who came. Mom, you didn't call us earlier." Shao Ziwei didn't see Looking at Chen Guangshi, he was a little disappointed. Miao Changfeng said with a smile: "I'm the only one here this time, and I'm still a little afraid that you won't welcome me." He immediately told them about Chen Tianyu and his son's meeting on Mount Tai. Shao Ziwei told him the main thing, her face flushed, and she said: "Uncle Miao is really good at joking, we practice swordsmanship, just wishing to have a great expert like you to teach us." Miao Changfeng said with a smile: "The master is in your own home, why ask outside?" Yun Ziluo said: "Mr. Miao is too polite, I just wanted to ask you to teach me some sword techniques." Mrs. Xiao was eager for them to approach, and then said: "That's right, outsiders rarely know about the Twisting Cloud Sword Art handed down by Ziluo's family. I'm a little surprised that you can tell its name as soon as you see it. No wonder people call you You have extensive knowledge of martial arts, and you really deserve your reputation. You don’t have to be polite, for my sake, you should also give them advice.” Miao Changfeng said: "Sister-in-law, you put gold on my face again. I only have a half-knowledge of the mystery of Xiaoyun's swordsmanship, but Miss Yun is the true master of the mantle. If you really want to talk about the word "pointing", you have to turn it upside down." That's right." Xiao Yuexian chuckled, and said: "Uncle Miao, you have always been very forthright, and I have never seen you talking politely like this. Well, you all don't need to be polite, and you don't need to point out words, let's learn from each other. I will be honored to learn swordsmanship." The next day, Miao Changfeng went to Meilin with them to practice swordsmanship. Shao Ziwei said, "Uncle Miao, how do you practice without a sword? How about using mine for now?" Miao Changfeng smiled and said, "No need." He snapped off a branch and said, "Miss Yun, please use the Twisting Cloud swordsmanship, feel free to stab at me, don't be afraid." Yun Ziluo knew that his martial arts were excellent, so she wasn't afraid of hurting him by mistake, but she thought to herself: "Although this sword of mine is not a sword that can cut iron like mud, but this branch can be broken with one cut. Let me touch it?" Miao Changfeng said the word "please", and he waved the branch lightly, making an ordinary "please hand gesture". Yun Ziluo might cut off his branch as soon as they fought, which would not be good for him. Adopting the tactic of avoiding the real and attacking the weak, the tip of the sword trembled, avoiding his branch, and pierced the "Huantiao Point" on his knee with a swish of the sword. Unexpectedly, Miao Changfeng's branch is like a spirit snake, hesitating and moving, unpredictable, Yun Ziluo's sword pierced the air, and his branch suddenly came from Yun Ziluo's unexpected direction.As a martial artist, it is out of instinct to resist the enemy's attack. Yun Ziluo was so anxious that she had no time to think, so she immediately turned her sword around and counterattacked. Miao Changfeng praised the word "good", and his body changed in an instant, the branch didn't touch her, but it came from an unexpected direction. Yun Ziluo knew that this was a move of the Wudang School, it was called "Xinghan Floating Cha", it was a sharp trick of piercing the throat, slanting the eyes, she didn't dare to neglect it, so she hurriedly used the "Moving the Stars and Picking the Fight" of the "Xingyun Sword Technique" " One trick was resolved, but Miao Changfeng's branch suddenly changed midway, it looked like "Xinghan Fucha", but it was not "Xinghan Fucha". Brushing the branch given to him, Yun Ziluo blushed, stepped back three steps, and said: "Mr. Miao's swordsmanship is really amazing, I lost the trick." Miao Changfeng smiled and said: "This is because you still have scruples, it's not that you really lost. Come again, come again!" Tried the trick again, how could Yun Ziluo dare to underestimate the "tree sword" in his hand, she let go of her scruples, and brought out the Twisting Cloud sword technique to the fullest! Miao Changfeng also couldn't help secretly admiring it.I thought: "Xianyun swordsmanship has been passed on to her, and it seems that there have been many changes. I have never thought of the subtleties before. Well, a smart woman like her who can innovate swordsmanship is in the hands of men. There are not many of them!" The Yun Ziluo in Miao Changfeng's eyes was like this, and the Miao Changfeng in Yun Ziluo's eyes made her heartbroken, and felt that his sword skills were elusive.I saw the moves he used, sometimes from Shaolin, sometimes from Wudang, sometimes from Emei, sometimes from Kongtong, the swordsmanship of each school and sect is mixed, strange moves emerge in endlessly, but every move and style, although it is born out of the big Schools, but they all have ingenuity, or similarities but minor differences, or major differences but minor differences. After thirty or fifty moves in a blink of an eye, one of Miao Changfeng's branches made tigers and tigers look like a dragon. Although it is a soft branch, it is as strong as a sword.Since every move of his is to control the enemy first, and he must save whatever he attacks, Yun Ziluo was forced to turn to defense, and after thirty or fifty moves, he still couldn't cut off his branches. Suddenly, Miao Changfeng stabbed with a move, which was actually a move of Jianyun swordsmanship. Yun Ziluo's own swordsmanship is very familiar, so without thinking, she immediately used the corresponding moves to defuse it. The change came again from Yun Ziluo's unexpected direction, Yun Ziluo was taken aback, and managed to avoid it with a "wind blowing flowers" movement in the midst of her busy schedule.Miao Changfeng said: "My Qingyun Chuxiu move, according to your school's sword theory, should be slow first and then fast. I changed it to fast and then slow. I don't know if it can be done?" Yun Ziluo said: "Mr. Miao's ingenuity is admirable. But if the internal strength is not enough to control it, I'm afraid it's not suitable." This is of course a compliment to Miao Changfeng, which means that if an ordinary martial artist does not have such internal strength as Miao Changfeng, then It is not appropriate to change the original sword technique.While praising the other party, she also put forward her own opinion. When the words came out, Yun Ziluo suddenly felt a little embarrassed and thought: "I met him for the first time, and his martial arts attainments are far better than mine. , I’m afraid I’m speaking too bluntly.” Miao Changfeng was overjoyed, and said: "Miss Yun is right." After a few moves, Miao Changfeng made another slight variation of the cloud-climbing swordsmanship, and this time Yun Ziluo was ready to use her One of the three swordsmanship moves that I recently comprehended, I thought to myself: "No matter how you change this time, I can always cut off your branches, right?" The green steel sword touched her, but the branch was attached to the spine of her sword like a piece of wood. Yun Ziluo suddenly felt a sticky force, and the green steel sword was unknowingly taken aside by him. The branch still hasn't been cut off! Miao Changfeng hurriedly jumped out of the circle, threw away the branch, and said with a smile: "This time I really lost the move. Miss Yun's Yunyun swordsmanship is superb, beyond my reach." Shao and Xiao were dazzled by the sight, and after Miao Changfeng threw away the branch, they calmed down a bit. Xiao Yuexian said in amazement: "Uncle Shao, it is clear that you beat your cousin with this trick, why do you say you lost?" Miao Changfeng said: "I am only a little better than your cousin in terms of internal strength, but in terms of swordsmanship, I have been restrained, so I have to be inferior." Yun Ziluo said: "Mr. Miao, what you said is not right. There may be different changes in the swordsmanship of the clouds, and I can barely compete with you. But you are proficient in the swordsmanship of various sects. I'm beyond hope." Shao Ziwei smiled and said: "Your swordsmanship has opened my eyes and benefited a lot. You don't have to be humble. Uncle Miao, how do you know the swordsmanship of so many schools? In today's world, I am afraid there is no second Personal!" Miao Changfeng laughed loudly and said: "Fortunately, there is no one else here. If you let others hear about your work, I'm afraid they will laugh their teeth out!" Shao Ziwei said: "I don't believe there is anyone else who can match you in swordsmanship." Miao Changfeng said: "I don't know how many people are better at swordsmanship than me! People like Jin Zhuliu, Li Nanxing, Mou Zongtao and others are all masters of swordsmanship, far above me." Xiao Yuexian said: "Have you fought against them?" Miao Changfeng said: "The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, there is no one worthy of fame, why do you have to fight to know who is superior?" 邵紫薇道：“焉知他们不是浪得虚名？何况即使如你所言，他们也不过只是一派的剑术名家，你却是精通各家各派？” 缪长风笑道：“你这话就外行了。第一、我不过是对各派的剑法涉猎得多一些，距离精通二字，还差得远呢。第二、武学的最高境界，是要融会百家，自辟蹊径。融会百家我还未能做到，自辟蹊径，独创一派，那就更谈不上了。又怎能与他们早已成为一派宗师的相提并论？” 云紫萝心里想道：“这人有狂放的一面，也有谦虚的一面，倒是难得。”不过，虽然知道他说的是客气话，但细细咀嚼他说的“融会百家，自辟蹊径”这八个字，亦是感到得益不少。 邵紫薇和萧月仙却是不约而同的有另一种想法，他们昨日听得缪长风说过泰山之会的事情，此际心中都是想道：“牟宗涛是此会的主人，缪叔叔刚才说的金、厉等人都是上客，另外还不知有多少武学高明之士？陈光世和他父亲也都去了。唉，倘若我也能赴会开开眼界，这该多好！” 缪长风来了之后，萧月仙已经和邵紫薇搬回家里，把邵家的客房让给缪长风。她们合住萧月仙的卧房，云紫萝则住在萧夫人的房间。 这晚云紫萝怕她姨妈唠叨，说她不愿意听的话，一早就假装熟睡，到了午夜时分，忽然听得远处隐隐似有长啸之声！ 听这啸声，似是来自数里之外的梅林，云紫萝大为诧异，心里想道：“啸声从数里之外传来，依然听得清清楚楚，自必是缪长风的龙吟功无疑。半夜三更，他为何无端端跑到梅林发啸？” 啸声未歇，忽地又听得两种异声，相继传来。如狼嗥，如枭鸣，难听之极，三种声音，相互纠缠，相互撞击，好像厮杀一般。缪长风的啸声似是在那两种异声的包围之中，觅缝钻隙，摇曳而出，音细而清，宛如游丝袅空，若断若续，狼嗥与枭鸣这两种异声虽然宏亮，却也掩盖下了他这清冷的啸声。陡然间啸声大振，有如孤军奋战，突破重围。又如白居易“琵琶行”中所描写的那样：“银瓶乍破水浆迸，铁骑突出刀枪鸣！”响遏行云，群峰回应，久久不绝！ 云紫萝是个武学行家，大惊之下，忙即披衣而起，说道：“姨妈，你听！恐怕是缪长风碰上劲敌了！” 萧夫人早已坐了起来，说道：“不错，这两个人恐怕都是练有独门内功的高手，不过你也不用担心，缪长风大概也还可以应付得了。紫萝，你做什么？”只见云紫萝推开了窗门。 云紫萝道：“我出去看看！” 萧夫人说道：“你忘了他的叮嘱吗？他这啸声想必就是要叫咱们躲开的。要去也只能我去！” 云紫萝道：“姨妈，你是一家之主，应该留下来照顾表妹和邵姑娘，还是我去的好！” 萧夫人说道：“我看缪长风是对付得了的，对付不了，咱们再出手不迟。何况，你、你——” 她想说的是“何况你又有孕在身”，话犹未了，云紫萝已是跃出窗子，说道：“若然来的不止两个强敌呢？他纵然对付得了，咱们也不能让他独自对付强敌！”说到最后的几个字之时，身形已经翻过围墙，到了屋子外面了。 萧夫人本来要阻拦她的，转念一想：“患难见真情，我不是要撮合他们的吗？那就让她的真情给缪长风知道也未尝不好。”同时心里又不禁暗暗叫了一声“惭愧！”想道：“我年纪大了一些，侠气倒是不及她们小一辈的。” 云紫萝踏入梅林，只听得风声呼呼，人还未见，却已见到了满空都是飞舞的梅花！ 云紫萝向那声音来处走去，走得稍近一些，忽地感到一股热浪袭来，好像鼓风炉中吹出的热气，触人如炙。方自一惊，陡地又有一股寒呛袭来，登时又似从鼓风炉畔突然移到了冰窟之中，饶是云紫萝的内功已有相当造诣，也是不由得机伶伶的打了一个冷颤。 抬头一看，只见淡月疏星之下，红黑黄三条人影，倏合倏分，斗得正酣！ 原来围攻缪长风的那两个人，一个是披着黑色斗篷的武士，另一个是披着大红袈裟的和尚。 那和尚披的是大红袈裟，掌心也好像涂满鲜血一样红得怕人，每一掌劈出，都挟着一股炙人的热风！ 那黑衣武士的打法却完全两样，远不如和尚凶悍粗犷，一掌拍出，轻飘飘的若不经意，但一股侵肌刺骨的寒飚却随着他的手足起处，突然无声无息的袭来！ 云紫萝虽然尚未练成上乘内功，一看之下，亦已看出一些门道，暗自思忖：“姨妈说得不错，这两个人果然都是练有独门的邪派内功，黑衣武士似乎练得更纯。我的功夫和他们相差太远，明刀亮斫，只怕未必近得他们身子。” 缪长风在这两人夹攻之下，双掌盘旋飞舞，掌力时而柔如柳絮，时而猛若狂涛，忽柔忽刚，变化莫测。旁人看来，似乎是他处在下风，其实却是个各有顾忌的相持局面。 黑衣武士接连拍出连环七掌，内力有如排山倒海般的从掌心发出，直攻过去，只听“咔嚓，咔嚓”之声不绝于耳，那是在他方圆三丈之内，无数的树枝给他的掌力折断的声音，但他的每一掌仍是轻飘飘的拍出，不带风声！缪长风头顶上发散出热腾腾的白气，白气越来越浓，似是正以绝顶的内功抵御对方的阴寒之气，抵御得相当吃力。可是黑衣武士却感到对方的内力坚韧非常，面前好像堆着一堵无形的墙壁，任凭他如何冲击，总是攻它不破。 缪长风双掌一合，划了一道圆圈，冷冷说道：“西门灼，你纵然练成了玄阴掌，加上这秃驴的火龙功，却又能奈我何哉责你们是不是还要再打下去，但在这里我可不想奉陪了！” 西门灼喝道：“你说不怕，为何要跑？”与那和尚一前一后，堵住缪长风的去路。缪长风冷笑道：“我只是不想糟塌梅花，毁坏风景，你当我是怕了你么？有胆的你跟我来，咱们另找一个合适的地方，分个雌雄，决个高下，你们尽可放心，缪某决不会找人帮手！” 云紫萝躲在一棵老梅树后，心里想道：“缪长风想必是已经知道我来到了，他这番话是有意说给我听的。他要把那两个人引开，他不想我卷入漩涡。可是看这情形，他要跑也难以跑开，我又焉能袖手旁观。” 心念未已，果然便听得西门灼喝道：“这里便是你丧身之地，何须另选地方？”那和尚也喝道：“任凭你花言巧语，你要跑就是不成！”两人联手夹攻，攻得更加紧了。 缪长风哈哈一笑，说道：“你有多大本领，胆敢口吐狂言？”轻轻的一掌拍出，把对方两个人的掌力化开。西门灼正在使到第七重的玄阴掌功夫，忽觉微风飒然，如受春风吹拂一般，竟有懒洋洋的感觉。西门灼大吃一惊，心里想道：“难道他竟练成了太清气功？” 太清气功是道家的一种上乘内功，龙吟功则是从佛门的狮子吼功脱胎的，云紫萝未来之前，缪长风已经用龙吟功和他们较量过了，此时又再使出太清气功轻描淡写的化解了他们的攻势，饶是西门灼武学深堪，见多识广，也是不禁为之骇然，想道：“这小子的武学也真杂得可以，怪不得我的师弟素来是不佩服别人的，也不能不称赞他是当今武学最博之士，果然名不虚传！他不但通晓各大门派的剑法，居然还擅长佛道两家的正宗内功！看来我若不冒险一施杀手，今日只怕难逃一败。” 三人各以正邪各派的绝顶功夫比拼，西门灼的玄阴掌有如严冬肃杀，那和尚的火龙功有如炎夏骄阳。但缪长风的太清气功却有如和煦的春日。肃杀的寒气，三伏的炎威都在春风之中溶解。 西门灼也端的非同小可，一受太清气功的侵袭，仅仅退了两步，立即就默运玄功，片刻之间，真气周行全身三十六道大穴，消除了那股懒洋洋的感觉。随即化掌为指，轻轻的一指向缪长风胸口的“璇玑穴”弹去。 缪长风焉能给他弹着，吞胸吸腹，身形登时挪后少许，恰恰避开。可是虽没给他弹个正着，胸口却突然感到火烙一般，浑身发热。呼呼风声，那和尚的双掌又是连环击到。他是练有火龙功的，掌风如同鼓风炉中喷出的热风，令得缪长风热得更加难受，不由自己的接连退出七八步。 缪长风也不禁吃了一惊，要知西门灼的玄阴掌发的本来是奇寒的阴煞之气，和他这一指所用的阳刚气功路子刚好相反，纵使武学高明之士，也很难把两种大相迳庭的内功迅速转换的，缪长风自忖：“败是不会败给他们，但只怕过后可得大病一场。” 殊不知西门灼这“雷神指”的功夫也未练成，强自把玄阴掌迅速变化雷神指，本身真气亦是耗损不少，决计不敢多用。而缪长风每退一步，就消去了对方的一分劲道，退出了七八步，已是把对方那寒热的作用消除了。 但云紫萝不明这种上乘武学的奥秘，她躲在树后伺机出手，见缪长风接连退了七八步，却是禁不住心慌了。 大吃一惊之下，云紫萝无暇思索，摸出了三枚铜钱，立即便向西门灼打去。 云家的钱镖打穴功夫也是武林一绝，三枚钱镖分打西门灼上盘“太阳穴”，中盘“愈气穴”，下盘“归藏穴”，黑夜之中，认穴不差毫厘！ 西门灼喝道：“谁敢偷施暗算？”陡然间三枚钱镖都向着云紫萝反射回来。不但钱镖反射回来，一股排山倒海般的掌力也随之而至！ 云紫萝禁不住那股力道冲击，大惊之下，迫出了她绝妙的轻功，一个“细胸巧翻云”，跳将起来，纤手一按梅枝，在半空翻了一个筋斗，倒纵出数丈开外！幸而她内功颇有造诣，顺着那股力道的来势，轻轻巧巧的落下地来，这才得以没有摔倒！ 可是那三枚反射回来的钱镖，仍然如影随形的跟着她，她刚刚脚尖着地，那三枚钱镖也跟着到了。 云紫萝听风辨器，听出钱镖的来势已缓，既是无法闪避从三路打来的钱镖，便即伸指疾弹，铮、铮、铮三声，把三枚铜钱弹开！ 钱镖虽给弹开，但她的手指与反射回来的铜钱接触，却突然感到一股冷意，直透心头，不由得机伶伶的打了一个冷颤。 忽地有一双手从她后面伸来，拖着她就跑。云紫萝惊魂未定，又吃了一惊，正要挣扎，身边听得萧夫人的声音说道：“别慌，是我！” 西门灼以劈空掌力反击云紫萝，这就给了缪长风一个可乘之机，当下身形一起，猛的就向他的琵琶骨硬劈下来！ 西门灼在对方强攻之下，不敢拼个两败俱伤，他的功夫也已到了能发能收的境界，双掌向前滚斫之势，倏然变为向上接招。 只听得“蓬”的一声，西门灼双掌一合，夹着了缪长风的手掌。缪长风内力一震，西门灼虎口发热，双掌连忙松开，缪长风电光石火般的疾即转身，双掌齐出，十指如钩，只听得嗤嗤声响，那个和尚刚刚向他攻来，给他掌指兼施，反击回去。饶是这和尚闪避得快，身上披的那件大红袈裟已是给他撕去了一幅。 缪长风暗暗叫声“惭愧”，心里想道：“若不是云紫萝助我一臂之力，只怕我还当真不容易脱身呢。但我无论如何也是不能连累她了！” 萧夫人把云紫萝拖入梅林深处，埋怨她道：“紫萝，你怎的可以如此冒险，不怕惊动了胎气吗？” 云紫萝还未来得及说话，忽听得长啸一声，宛若龙吟。霎那间缪长风已是出了梅林了。西门灼和那和尚紧迫不舍，激战过后的梅林，恢复了原来的宁静。 云紫萝道：“姨妈，你别只是顾我，缪先生恐怕——”话犹未了，就好像听得缪长风在她耳边说话一般，说道：“我不碍事，多谢你们。快照我那天说的话去做！”缪长风用的是最上乘的“传音入密”的功夫。云紫萝见他仍然能够运用这样上乘的内功，心头的一块大石方始落下。 萧夫人道：“这你可以放心了吧，我早说过缪长风是可以应付得了的。咦，你怎么啦？手心如此寒冷！”云紫萝道：“没什么，大概是着了点凉。” 萧夫人紧紧握着她的双手，以本身深厚的内功助她驱除寒气，过了大约半炷香时刻，黄豆般大小的汗珠一颗颗从云紫萝的额上滴下来，云紫萝的脸色这才开始恢复红润。萧夫人嘘了口气，说道：“原来你是沾上了玄阴掌的寒毒，却还对我遮瞒，好在你只有两个月身孕，胎儿尚未成形，沾上的寒毒也不算多，否则你纵然可免内伤，腹中的胎儿却只怕是难以保全了。唉，我也想不到敌人竟是如此厉害的！” 云紫萝低下了头，暗暗叫了一声“侥幸”，心里想道：“杨牧非常盼望有一个自己的孩子，幸亏我保得住腹中这一块肉，否则是更对不起他了。” 萧夫人责备了她一顿之后，想把气氛弄得轻松一些，接着笑道：“紫萝，你说你心如槁木，其实却是个热心人呢！经过了今晚的事情，我看缪长风是永远也不会忘记你了。” 云紫萝面上一红，说道：“我只问事情应不应为，他既然算得上咱们的朋友，换了另一个，我也会这样做的。” 萧夫人微微一笑，为了避免甥女太过尴尬，说道：“为朋友固然紧要，但也得爱惜自己的身体啊！这次事情已经过去，以后你可得谨慎一些。”云紫萝低头道：“姨妈说得是。” 萧夫人说道：“咱们现在应该说正经的事啦，缪长风的话想必你也听见了，我看明天一早，我们就应当离开这儿。” 刚说到这里，只见邵紫薇和萧月仙上气不接下气的匆匆跑来，手中都拿着一把出了鞘的长剑，一见萧夫人，便即说道：“缪叔叔呢？咱们快帮他打架去！” 萧夫人笑道：“缪叔叔早已把敌人赶跑了，还用得着你们赶来帮忙。你们还是赶快回去收拾东西吧。” 萧月仙怔了一怔，说道：“收拾东西，上哪儿去？” 萧夫人道：“这里是不能再住的了，我想和你们回三河县的老家去，暂且躲避一时。” 邵紫薇道：“爹爹和哥哥还未回来，我们走了，怎样和他们互通消息？” 萧夫人皱了皱眉头，说道：“我也是为了此事放心不下，还没有想到好的主意，唉，但也只好先走了再说吧。” 萧月仙道：“妈，我倒有个主意。” 萧夫人道：“你这丫头只懂玩耍，还能有什么好主意？姑且说来听听吧。” 萧月仙道：“缪叔叔说，邵伯伯和邵大哥多半是前往泰山，去参加那个什么扶桑派的开宗立派的大会去了，因此，我想、我想——” 萧夫人道：“你也想到泰山去凑这个热闹，是么？” 萧月仙道：“妈，你让我去好不好？我戴上人皮面具，不会有人认识我的。你若还不放心，可以叫薇姐和我一同去。” 萧夫人道：“我道是什么好主意？原来是找个藉口好去胡闹。不行！” 萧月仙噘着小嘴儿道：“为什么不行？我答应你决不胡闹就是。” 萧夫人道：“这样的一个盛会，不知有多少江湖上的成名人物到场，你当是玩耍的么？你又没有半点江湖经验，你不闹事，只怕事情也会闹到你的头上来！别啰唆了，不行就是不行！” 萧月仙大失所望，但见母亲说得这样斩钉截铁，也是不敢撒娇了。 “这个主意我也曾想过的，我也不敢去呢。”萧夫人回过头来，接着对云紫萝道：“震远镖局的人和四海游龙齐建业想必也会在场，我虽然不怕他们，但这样的场合，却不是我报仇的时机。” 云紫萝忽道：“姨妈，我看还是让我去最好！” 萧夫人吃了一惊道：“你去？” 云紫萝说道：“第一、我在江湖上没有仇家。第二、我戴上了面具，纵然瞒不过四海游龙，他总算是我的长辈亲戚，料也不会与我为难。第三、在这样的盛会之中，说不定我还可以碰到爹爹的朋友，打听得妈妈的消息。”说罢，悄悄的竖起两个指头，让萧夫人看见，表示自己只有两个月的身孕，姨妈大可放心。 萧夫人道：“你不怕碰上连甘沛这一班人，给他们看出破绽？” 云紫萝道：“泰山之会，有金逐流、厉南星等许多名震江湖的侠义道在场，清廷鹰犬纵然混了进来，也决计不敢闹事。” 萧夫人道：“听说泰山之会乃是重九召开，只怕你赶不上了。” 云紫萝道：“如此盛会，总有几天，赶不上我就在山下等候邵伯伯他们回家。” 萧夫人也想找到邵家父子，见云紫萝既然坚决要去，虽然她还是不大放心，终于也答应了。当下与云紫萝约定，若然见着了邵叔度父子，就和他们一同回到三河县的云家老屋来。
