Chapter 8 Chapter Eight
Tianxuan said slowly: "According to senior Qi's speculation, Senior Brother Tianquan may have been poisoned without knowing it."
Tianji snorted, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't.
Hanxu couldn't help but said: "Master's inner strength is profound, unless it's peacock gall, golden silkworm cup, viper saliva, black heart orchid and other highly poisonous poisons, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to be poisoned. And how can he be poisoned for half a year?" For a long time, the truth that I haven’t known yet?”
Tianxuan said: "Senior Qi said that this is probably a kind of chronic poisoning with a very clever poisoning method. It is extremely difficult for people who are poisoned to detect it. After a long time, they will feel like a disease but not a disease. But even with good medical skills The doctor, from the pulse condition alone, can't see any signs of poisoning."
Hanxu said: "Is there such a powerful chronic poison?" While speaking, his eyes were on Tang Xishun.
Tang Xishun said: "As far as I know, there is. The poison produced by our Tang family can make the poisoned person die after a year, and there is no abnormality on weekdays. But in this respect, the poison of our Tang family is not good enough. It’s not the most powerful, and it’s hard to hide it when used against people with high internal strength. The slow poisons of the other two can kill people without knowing it, and even first-class martial arts masters are hard to guard against.”
Hanxu still had some doubts, and asked: "This kind of chronic poison must be poisoned continuously, not once?"
Tang Xishun said: "That's right. To deal with a person with such profound internal skills as the Lingshi, the amount of poison must be just right. If there is too much, he will be noticed. So it must be poisoned continuously."
Hanxu said: "So, the poisoner must be someone who can get close to him on a daily basis?"
Tang Xishun said: "I'm sorry I can't answer this question." After thinking for a while, he continued: "According to Lingshi's morbid speculation, that kind of poison is not the poison that can kill him, but the skill that makes him The poison is gradually fading, and the person who poisoned him obviously knows the depth of his inner strength. If he uses a deadly poison, he will definitely be noticed by the master."
Hanxu was taken aback.He said anxiously: "In this way, there are only a handful of suspects. I am afraid that I am the most suspicious one."
Tianwu said: "Nephew Hanxu, don't worry too much, we certainly won't suspect you."
Tang Xishun said: "I'm only speculating based on the signs of poisoning. Before there is any actual evidence, it is absolutely correct. According to my speculation, that person is probably a man who is scheming and good at seizing opportunities."
Han Xu said: "Be good at seizing opportunities, what does that mean?"
Tang Xishun said: "The timing of that person's poisoning was well chosen."
Hanxu said: "You mean that he chose the former master to poison him while practicing the superior inner strength mental method of this school?"
Tang Xishun said: "That's right, so when he appears in a trance, feels tired from time to time, etc., he will think that this is a problem caused by the eagerness to improve in practice, and even suspect that it is a sign of madness. But he doesn't know that his gong power has already It is decreasing day by day without knowing it.”
Tianwu said: "Thank you, Mr. Tang Er, for explaining the performance of this chronic poison to us. I think this speculation is very reasonable."
Tianxuan said: "The timing of that person's assassination was also chosen very well. After Senior Brother Tianquan read Mr. Jianda's letter, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and this person is absolutely unexpected to assassinate him. So this guy can hit it off with one hit."
Tianji sneered and said, "You seem to have seen it with your own eyes!"
Tianxuan said solemnly: "Of course I didn't see the murderer's murder, but we have all seen the face of the former head just after he was killed. The expression on his face is obviously very surprised, if he is not familiar Man, how could he have such an expression?"
Taoist Tianshu, who ranked third among the elders, was more stable, and said: "I dare not say that this speculation is unreasonable, but it is only speculation. If you can't find any real evidence and just believe it, I'm afraid it will cause mutual suspicion among the same sect. "
Tian Wu said: "That's right, without evidence, the case cannot be settled. But in the dark, it seems that there is also God's will. I happened to preserve a relic of the former senior brother. I didn't expect it to be used as evidence of the murderer. Now But it seems that it can come in handy. Please ask Mr. Tang to appraise it for you."
Han Gu and Han Xu asked at the same time: "What relic is it?"
Tianwu said: "It's the leftover half jar of gin wine from senior brother Tianquan. Senior brother Tianquan is not an alcoholic, but he is used to drinking two glasses of pine wine brewed by himself before meals. I keep the half jar of gin wine he drank. The original meaning is I want to let everyone share the drink after we get the real culprit and avenge him." While speaking, some disciples already took out the half jar of wine.
Tianshu said: "I remember drinking this altar of wine." As soon as he said Tianji, he immediately went on to say: "Yes, I also drank it. Brother Tianquan sometimes asked us to accompany him for dinner, and we also I always drink two glasses with him more or less. It’s not just the two of us who have had a drink.”
Tang Xishun remained silent, dipped the wine in his mouth and tasted it.After a while, he nodded.Hanxu hurriedly asked: "Is it poisoned wine?"
Tang Xishun said: "That's right. The wine contains exactly that kind of chronic poison." As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the Huashan School disciples changed.
Tang Xishun continued: "It's okay to drink a glass or two of this kind of poisoned wine occasionally. But if you drink it once every two or three days, and drink it for two or three months, it's different. Ordinary people are not so good. The skill will gradually melt away with this poisonous wine without knowing it." On the surface, his words were not aimed at Tianji, but it explained why he was not poisoned.
Feeling guilty, Tianji muttered to himself deliberately: "Is there such a magical poisoned wine?"
Tang Xishun went on to say: "This kind of poisonous wine has another characteristic. The longer it is stored, the more poisonous it becomes. Taking the current half jar of wine, although it is not a serious problem, it will make your heart beat faster. "
Tianwu took the altar of poisoned wine, poured a small cup to drink it, and said, "That's right, it's true!" Then he looked at Tianji and said, "Would you like to try it?"
Tianji had already noticed that there was something different in Tianwu's eyes, and said in a shy voice, "Why do you only ask me to try?"
Tianwu said: "It's nothing, I see you still don't believe it's poisoned wine."
Tianji didn't dare to get angry, so she had to say: "Brother has already tried it, I don't need to try it. However, I still have a question."
Tianwu said: "Please tell me."
Tianji said: "The poisoned wine has been confirmed, so based on reasonable speculation, the murderer seems to be a disciple of our sect?"
Tianwu's character has always been indecisive, Tianji thought his answer would be ambiguous at best, but he actually said firmly: "Yes, how can an outsider poison the food of the former head for a long time?"
Tianji said: "But the murderer and the poisoner should be the same person?"
Tianwu said: "That's right, I also think your speculation is very reasonable. Because this kind of deceitful and outrageous things, people usually don't dare to let the second person know, so they can only do it by themselves."
Tianji forced his mind to keep his voice from trembling, and said, "That's my question. The former master brother was shocked to death by the palm force, and there was no scar on his body. At that time, we had studied which martial arts school it was, and concluded It is the combined palm strength of the big throwing stele hand and the cotton palm. This kind of martial arts is the unique martial arts of the Jian family, but Mr. Jian Da has not practiced it. Therefore, we are all confused. Don't say that the Jian family's martial arts can't It is not easy to pass it on to outsiders, even if you have to practice it. I am afraid that there will be no disciples in this sect who can practice this kind of martial arts?"
Tianwu suddenly said: "You are wrong!"
Tianji was taken aback, and cried out: "Who is that disciple?" At this moment, he couldn't restrain the trembling of his voice.
Tian Wu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and said, "Who is who?"
Tianji said: "That disciple of our school who has practiced the Jian family's unique martial arts!"
Tianwu seemed to understand what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, that's not what I'm talking about. I don't know if any of my disciples have practiced the Jian family's martial arts. The martial art of combining palm strength into one is no longer the exclusive martial art of the Jian family!"
Only then did Tianji realize her "gaffe" and said, "Excuse me for my ignorance, but I don't know which sect has this kind of martial arts?"
Tian Wu said: "As far as I know, there is at least one person who has practiced this kind of martial arts."
Tianji hesitated for a while, and asked, "Who is that person?" Even though he knew that his senior brother was not talking about the disciples of our sect, his heart couldn't help but jump.
Tian Wu said slowly: "It's best to ask Wei Shaoxia to talk about this matter, he fought against that person before."
Wei Tianyuan stood up and said, "Before I tell who this person is, I want to tell you one thing first. I have a uncle named Jiang Zhiqi, who was poisoned to death."
Tianji couldn't help but said again: "He was poisoned to death, what has it to do with what we said?"
Wei Tianyuan said: "Please be calm and don't be impatient. What I want to talk about is not this uncle, but his wife. Are you patient enough to listen?"
Tianji had no choice but to say: "Please continue."
Wei Tianyuan continued: "This Mrs. Jiang was also assassinated shortly after her husband was murdered. There was no blood or wounds, but the top door was slightly dented. I wonder if the murder of the head of your sect is the same?"
Tianwu said: "Exactly the same."
Wei Tianyuan said: "At that time, I was also deeply confused, wondering if someone from the Jian family did it. But I know that Jian Dasheng didn't practice this kind of martial arts, if it was done by someone from the Jian family, it can only be Jian Er Sir, but Mr. Jian Er has long been paralyzed, how can he run so fast?"
"This mystery wasn't solved until last year when I met that person on the Secret Demon Cliff. It turned out that Mr. Jian Er became obsessed because of his careless practice. With the help of this person, he escaped from danger. But he was also seduced by this person. Go astray, exchange martial arts with him, and let this person pretend to be him."
Speaking of this, several people shouted in unanimous agreement: "Murong Chui!" One must know that although the Huashan faction did not participate in the battle of the Mystic Demon Cliff, the fact that Murong Chui Ri pretended to be Mr. Jian Er had already been spread all over the world. up.
Wei Tianyuan said: "That's right, it's Murong Chui. That day when I fought against him at Mimo Cliff, I was injured by his palm. He used exactly the Jian family's unique martial arts. Later, Mr. Jian Er really came to the scene, Only then did he reveal his face. Although Mister Jian Er was also injured by his icy palm, he was finally shot to death."
Tian Wu suddenly said: "Wait a minute, what martial arts do you think Murong Chui used to hurt Mr. Jian Er?"
Wei Tianyuan said: "Ice Palm!"
Tianwu said: "Isn't Ice Palm and Flame Knife the martial arts of White Camel Mountain?"
Wei Tianyuan said: "That's right. Murong Chui is the senior brother of Yu Wenlei, the lord of White Camel Mountain. He and Mr. Jian Er are fighting for life and death. Of course they dare not use Jian family's martial arts, they can only use their own martial arts."
Tianwu said: "Well, in this way, the matter can be said to be half understood."
Tianji's heart skipped a beat, trying to calm down, and said: "Forgive me for being stupid, I still don't understand. What Wei Tianyuan said can only prove that Murong Chui can also practice martial arts. What does it have to do with my disciples?" Relationship? Instead of suspecting our own disciples, it is better to suspect that the murderer is Murong Chui."
Yaoguang Sanren couldn't help but said: "Why doesn't it matter, the murderer's martial arts was also taught by Murong Chui!" From the look on Tianji's face, she already guessed something.
Tianji knew that it would attract suspicion, but she had to argue: "Your speculation seems unreasonable. Is it so easy to practice the Jian family's unique martial arts? I'm afraid it will take at least ten or eight years? Disciples of this school, Unless you leave Mount Hua, how can you practice martial arts of other sects for a long time without being discovered by others?"
Yaoguang Sanren said: "If I were the elder of my sect, and I secretly practiced martial arts of other sects at night, which disciple would dare to spy on me? And if I practiced, of course it would be easier for me to succeed than ordinary disciples. The way of martial arts is the same. Tong, Bai Lirong. If you have the superior internal strength of your sect as your foundation and the guidance of a "famous teacher", even if you practice a kind of profound martial arts from another school, I believe it will not take ten or eight years, right?"
Tianji immediately put on a straight face, and said, "Sixth Junior Sister, of course you are not talking about yourself. Let me be clear, who are you suspecting?"
Yaoguang Sanren said coldly: "I didn't say which one, whoever has a guilty conscience, I will suspect him!"
Tian Wu made a gesture, and said slowly: "Now is the time to calm down and investigate the real culprit. Please start arguing!"
Tianji blushed, and grunted, "Sixth Junior Sister is clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai!"
Tianwu said: "Sixth Junior Sister didn't specify which one, but I think her guess is reasonable."
Tianji said: "What reason?"
Tianwu said: "Do you still remember that on the day when the head of the sect was killed, a very suspicious person appeared on the mountain? It was a middle-aged woman that we had never seen before. Fortunately, Taoist Master Yuxu of the Wudang School was on the mountain at that time As a guest, he recognizes this temptress." After a pause, he continued: "But he also recognized the wrong person. At first he thought it was the silver fox of the Mu family's two foxes. Later, he realized that it was not the silver fox, but the silver fox's sister Jin Fox." The disciples of the Huashan School already knew about this matter, so Tianwu didn't need to explain further, why did he later find out that it was not a silver fox but a golden fox.
But someone asked: "So what if it's a golden fox?"
Tianwu said: "The golden fox is the wife of the White Camel Mountain Master!" Many people didn't know about this matter, and they couldn't help but shouted out after hearing it.
Tianwu continued: "The ancestors of the Mu family stole poisoning skills from the Tang family. Jinhu can be said to be one of the best poison masters in the world today, and I believe the ranking will not be outside the top five. Second son Tang, I say Right?"
Tang Xishun said: "That's right. Although her ability to use poison originated from the Tang family, there are certain poison formulas whose insidiousness is already superior to that of our Tang family. Poison is one of them."
Tian Wu said: "Now it's not doubt, but it has been confirmed. There are two reasons for the death of the first head of the sect. He was poisoned in the front, and he was shot to death with the firm and soft palm force of the Jian family. Jin, who is good at poisoning Hu is the wife of the White Camel Mountain Master, and Murong Chui, who knows how to use the martial arts of the Jian family, is the senior brother of the White Camel Mountain Master. But if he is not someone who is familiar with the master, he will not be caught off guard and will be plotted against. You say this Is the murderer related to White Camel Mountain?"
Everyone was in doubt, and no one dared to make a sound. Only Tianji said: "According to the known facts, there is probably no doubt that it is related to Baituo Mountain. But if it is said that it was done by our disciples, this, this……"
Tianwu said: "Do you think there is still no definite evidence?"
Tianji kept silent, and being silent was tantamount to acquiescing.
Tianwu suddenly said: "Miss Shangguan, do you bring the certificate we need?"
Shangguan Feifeng said: "It's already brought. Please have a look." After finishing speaking, he handed over two letters.
In that instant, the audience was completely silent, and even a needle could be heard falling on the ground!
Tianwu read the two letters, folded the first one first, and said slowly: "Brother Tianji, this letter seems to be written to you by the White Camel Mountain Master, I'm sorry, I have already read it .”
Immediately, many people asked in unison: "What is written in the letter?"
Tianji was also considered adaptable, although his heart was beating violently, but his expression was still calm. He didn't go to answer the letter, but said: "I have never been in touch with the master of White Camel Mountain, how could he have a letter for me?" ? Senior brother, please read this letter to everyone."
Tianwu said: "You don't need to read it, let's briefly talk about the meaning of the letter. Brother Tianji, the White Camel Mountain Lord seems to think highly of you. He wants you to try to take over the post of head of the Huashan School, um, I have no virtue or ability, and I originally agreed to act as the temporary head of the sect..."
Tianji acted as if he had been wronged, immediately interrupted his words, and shouted: "Senior brother, please don't be provoked by the traitor!" Turning around, she shouted sharply: "Miss Shangguan! This letter to you How did you get it?"
Shangguan Feifeng said calmly: "It was my father who intercepted it. The White Camel Mountain Lord is against my father, and now he is an enemy. He secretly spy on our people, and we also secretly spy on his people. He sent someone to deliver the letter , 'unfortunately' bumped into our big brother Shen."
Shen Hong said: "I seized this letter and presented it to the lord, and the lord told me to send it to the lady immediately."
Tianji sneered and said, "Don't you understand? Someone forged a letter from the White Camel Mountain Lord to frame me!"
His self-defense made some people suspicious, and they all thought: "That's right, Shangguan Feifeng is Wei Tianyuan's fiancée, and it's not surprising that he helped Wei Tianyuan frame Elder Tianji. thing."
Han Gu stood up and said: "We have never seen the handwriting of the White Camel Mountain Lord, and we don't know if it is true or not. This is a big matter, please handle it with caution."
Tianwu said: "Of course I have to handle it with caution. Well, here is another letter. The recipient is the White Camel Mountain Master. The sender did not sign the letter, but the handwriting seems to be our acquaintance. Please, brothers and sisters, Help me see."
Tianji's ranking is second only to Tianwu, logically he should look at it first.He didn't dare to take it, he hesitated for a while, Yao Guang San was anxious, and had already brought it over to read first.While she was reading the letter, other people gathered around.
This letter is different from the previous one.The letter paper is very thin, only the size of a palm, and there are a few small "spots" on it. The "spots" are white with yellow, as if they are formed by the condensation of real things.Yaoguang Sanren scratched it with his fingernails, smelled it, and said, "It's white wax powder." Experienced people can see that the original letter was sealed in a wax pill to facilitate transmission, but also to confidential.
The letter was written in small print, only a few lines, and the handwriting was still correct.In addition to Tianji, the four elders Tian Ce, Tianxuan, Tianshu, Yaoguang and the two second-generation disciples Hangu and Hanxu all gathered around to watch. They are all people with excellent martial arts and excellent vision Good, although the font is small, it can be read clearly.
But after looking at it, they couldn't help but looked at each other in blank dismay.
Those few lines read: "The things I asked to do have been carried out according to the plan, and everything is as expected. Now the time has come. Just in case, it is better to have someone to take care of it. Not well-known."
Tianshu said slowly: "Hey, it really seems to be, it seems to be his handwriting."
Yao Guang said: "What does it look like? It's clearly his handwriting!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly snorted, facing Tianji, and asked loudly, "Tianji, what big event are you and the master of White Camel Mountain planning?"
Tianji said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?" She thought to herself: "As long as that person doesn't let them know, I can still have a chance to defend myself."
Yaoguang Sanren said coldly: "Take it and read it for yourself, do you dare to say that this is not your handwriting?"
Tianji put on a show, and after seeing it, she rolled her eyes angrily, and said, "It's really despicable!"
Yao Guang said: "Who is despicable?"
Tianji said: "Of course it's the traitor who faked my handwriting! Hmph, he faked my handwriting, it is indeed very similar, but it's a pity that it doesn't stand up to scrutiny!"
Yao Guang sneered and said, "That day, the senior brother who was the head of the sect was killed. When we went in, you were already there."
Tianji said: "I rushed there as soon as I heard Brother Tianquan's call. There is always someone who arrives first, what's so strange about it?"
Yao Guang said: "It's not unusual for you. But with this letter, it can't stand 'scrutiny'!"
Hanxu said suddenly: "Whether this letter is written by Master Tianji, I can't say for sure. But after the meeting ended that day, Master Tianji was with us."
Tianwu said: "If you say 'we', there are more than two people, who else?"
Han Xu said: "Senior brother Han Gu is with us." Han Gu doesn't like to talk, he just nodded his head, expressing that what his brother said is true.
Tianwu said: "Okay, go ahead."
Hanxu continued: "As soon as we heard Master's call, we rushed there. We couldn't run as fast as Master, so we came late."
What he said was like a powerful counter-evidence for Tianji.
We must know that the crux of the problem is not that it came sooner or later, but that Tianji also rushed there after hearing the call from the master, which means that there is another person who assassinated the real Tianquan.
Tianwu originally had enough evidence to prove that Tianji was the murderer, so he couldn't help being a little skeptical when he heard what his nephew said.Han Gu and Han Xu are the two major disciples of Tian Quan Zhenren, their loyalty to the master is unquestionable, if it is not true, they have no reason for Xiang Tianji to defend.
Tianwu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked Tianji, "How do you explain that letter?"
Tianji felt that she had hope, immediately puffed up her chest, put on an air of righteousness, pointed at Shangguan Feifeng and said, "About this letter, I just want to ask Miss Shangguan to explain."
Shangguan Feifeng said: "Oh, what do you want me to explain?"
Tianji said: "This letter is not signed, but it has a date of sending it, right?" He said after reading the letter.
Shangguan Feifeng said: "I just forwarded this letter to the head of your faction by my father's order, and I didn't open it and read it privately."
Tianshu looked at the letter again and said, "Yes, the date of sending the letter was the third day of July last year." The date he mentioned was about a month before Tianquan was killed.
The Yaoguang Sanren said coldly: "This letter is asking the White Camel Mountain Lord to send someone to respond or assist. It will arrive in about a month, and the person sent has been confirmed to be the White Camel Mountain Lord. My wife is a golden fox."
Tianji was confident, but his tone calmed down, and said: "Whether the golden fox is an accomplice sent by Baituoshan, we want to find out the truth about this matter, but not now. The most urgent task now is to find out the authenticity of this letter. Okay, let’s just assume that I wrote it, but how could the secret letter I wrote to the White Camel Mountain Master a year ago fall into the hands of Shangguan Yunlong? Wouldn’t the White Camel Mountain Lord hand it over to him? Could it be? Shangguan Yunlong intercepted it? Besides, if this letter had already fallen into Shangguan Yunlong's hands, how could the White Camel Mountain Lord know the contents of this letter and send someone here immediately?"
Hearing that what he said was reasonable, Tianwu looked at Shangguan Feifeng.
Shangguan Feifeng said: "I have already gone with Shen Hong, this letter was not intercepted by our people on the way."
Tianji asked immediately: "In this way, there is only one possibility left. This letter was taken by your father from the master of White Camel Mountain!"
Everyone knew that this was unreasonable. Tianji's intention of asking the question was just to make her speechless.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Feifeng replied solemnly: "Don't say that my father's martial arts may not be better than the white camel mountain master. Even if he is better than him, my father would not know that he has this letter written by you in his hand. But , If you want people to know, unless you do nothing, you think that there are only two possibilities for the secret to be leaked, but in fact there are more than one."
Tianji sneered and said: "Why do you insist that I wrote it myself? I don't care for now. I just ask you. According to you, do you know how your father came back to this letter?"
Shangguan Feifeng said decisively: "Yes, I already know!"
Tianji sternly said: "Okay, then you can tell it! It won't be the White Camel Mountain Master who will automatically hand it over to your father?"
Shangguan Feifeng said with a half-smile, "You're half right."
Tianji was stunned and said, "You're half right, what do you mean?"
Shangguan Feifeng said: "To be honest, there was indeed someone who gave this letter to my father. But it wasn't the White Camel Mountain Lord."
Tianji thought to himself: "As long as it's not the White Camel Mountain Lord, I'll be fine." He shouted sharply: "Who is this person?"
Shangguan Feifeng looked around.
Tianji sneered and said: "This person is 'Mr. Wuyou', you can't tell at all, can you?"
Shangguan Feifeng suddenly smiled slightly, and said: "This person has already arrived, it is better to let her speak instead of me!"
Before the words were finished, I saw that the person had already walked out.
The man took off his veil and was a coquettish middle-aged woman.
Hangu Hanxu was taken aback, and at the same time, he shouted involuntarily: "Golden fox!"
Tianji was even more surprised than them, for a moment, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
"I handed over this letter!" Jinhu said as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tianji was stunned, and shouted: "Madam Yuwen, you, how could you do this..." Only then did he understand what Shangguan Feifeng meant by "half".The main fox is directly involved, and she knows more secrets than her husband.
Jinhu said: "One person does the work and the other person is responsible. Are you willing to confess yourself, or let me tell you?"
Tianji only thought that the golden fox had fallen into the hands of the Huashan faction, and tried to protect himself, pushing all the crimes on himself.Wen Jia couldn't help being angry, and shouted sharply: "Jinhu, if I hadn't fallen into your trap, I wouldn't have helped you murder your brother. If I don't kill you first today, I won't die!"
He rushed towards the golden fox angrily, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Tianwu, who shouted: "You can confront her, you are not allowed to kill yourself to silence her!"
At this moment, an old Taoist priest suddenly ran out from the crowd, his movement was indescribably fast, he ran up to the golden fox in the blink of an eye, and shouted: "Sao fox, how dare you betray your husband and join the enemy, I will kill you!" !” Amid the loud shouts, he struck down with a palm.
Almost at the same time, with a flash of sword light, Shangguan Feifeng was already standing in front of the golden fox, and stabbed the old Taoist's tiger's mouth with a slash of his sword.
The old Taoist turned his palms into fingers, and with a clang, he flicked away Shangguan Feifeng's sword.It was too late, but soon, Wei Tianyuan arrived like flying, with a dragon claw hand, grabbing the old Taoist's lute bone.
This move is a must to save when attacking the enemy. The old Taoist Huo nodded with a phoenix, and swung the saber with his backhand, cutting off Wei Tianyuan's right arm.Wei Tianyuan hurriedly lowered his shoulders and retracted his elbows, and drew circles with his palms to neutralize the opponent's strength.
The movements of the three were as fast as lightning, and Shangguan Feifeng followed like a shadow, and the gleaming tip of the sword had already pointed at the old Taoist's back.
In the shadow of the palm wind and sword, the old Taoist howled like a wolf, his body was like a big bird soaring, and he flew two feet away in a blink of an eye.
Shangguan Feifeng didn't care about chasing him, so he quickly supported Wei Tianyuan, and said, "Is it okay?"
Wei Tianyuan said: "Fortunately, with the previous experience, I probably won't be seriously ill. But first of all, of course I have to thank you..."
Wei Tianyuan hadn't finished talking yet, and a new change had appeared before his eyes.The old Taoist priest rushed towards the place where Tianji was standing, regardless of his injury.He had already been stabbed by Shangguan Feifeng on his left shoulder, but he still walked like flying.
At this time, the disciples of the Huashan School had already seen clearly who the old Taoist priest was, and many of them cried out, "Hey! How could it be him?"
Tianwu shouted: "Shou Zhuo, what are you doing?"
It turned out that this old Taoist priest was not a disciple of the Huashan School, but a Taoist priest who came from another place. When he came to Huashan, he was ill.After he recovered from his illness, he said he was grateful to everyone for their kindness to him, so he refused to leave.He has no abilities, moves clumsily, and looks like a dementia. The former master Tianquan Zhenren gave him a Taoist title, "Shou Zhuo".
Huashan Qunxian Temple is a very large and well-known Taoist temple. There are often such incidents of taking in wandering Taoist priests from other places. What's more, he is poor, sick and homeless, so no one has seriously investigated his origin.
The former head Tianquan saw that he was demented and incapable, so he let him do some light work by his side, such as making tea and sweeping the floor.He served Tianquan for three years and was quite pleased with Tianquan.Tianquan gave him the Taoist name "Shou Zhuo", and his disciples all called him "Clumsy Taoist".
Who would have thought that this clumsy Taoist is not clumsy at all now!
The usual old Long Zhong disappeared, and his hunched appearance also changed.He jumped like flying, Wei Tianyuan's Dragon Claw and Shangguan Feifeng's phantom sword couldn't stop him, his martial arts were so high that it was unbelievable.
Tianwu yelled: "Shouzhuo, what are you doing?" The old Taoist yelled: "Get out of here!" The sound came, and both palms flew together, one palm towards Tianwu and the other towards Tianji.
Tianxuan was just standing behind Tianwu, and grabbed his palm.He was going to hit Tianji with this palm.
Tianwu's inner strength is the highest, Tianxuan used to practice in seclusion, but his strength at this time is no longer inferior to Tianwu's.Unexpectedly, they joined forces to resist, but they still couldn't resist.
Tianwu jumped three steps backwards, and shouted involuntarily, "Flame Knife!"
Tianxuan also cried out at the same time: "Ice Palm!"
Flame Knife and Ice Palm are the unique martial arts of Baituo Mountain, Tiance, Tianshu, and Yao Guang shouted angrily in unison: "Okay, so you are a demon from Baituo Mountain!"
That veteran's palm strikes like lightning, before Tiance and others arrive, his third palm has already been struck towards Tianji!
Tianji shouted: "You want to kill someone!"
The old Taoist shouted: "That's right, I just want to kill you!"
Tianji had already drawn his sword out of its sheath, and stabbed at the old Taoist with a move of "Three Turns of the Falun".
"Three Turns of the Falun" is the most powerful move of the Huashan School's swordsmanship. There are three moves in one move, and each move has three sword points.Tianji is also the number one swordsman master in the Huashan School. At the moment of life and death, he made a desperate move, which is as powerful as can be imagined.
Amidst the clanging sound, the two figures separated quickly, Tianji shook twice like a piece of wood, and "Bu Tong" fell to the ground.The old Taoist was bleeding all over his face, he turned and ran.It turned out that his eyes had also been stabbed blind by him!
Tianwu shouted: "Junior Brother, Junior Sister, don't fight him desperately!" Tiance Tianshu felt a gust of hot wind hit his face, and the old Taoist priest had already passed them.
Wei Tianyuan said: "We can't let this demon go, sister Feng, let's go!"
He was about to step forward with Shangguan Feifeng to stop him, but Jinhu said: "You don't need to do anything, he won't survive!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the blind old Taoist priest bump into a tree, suddenly became mad, and shouted: "Who dares to stop me!" With two palms, he beat the tree like a tree Shaken by the strong wind, the branches and leaves fell, leaving only a bare trunk for a moment.But when he hit the tree, his head was bleeding and he finally fell down.The seven orifices bleed, and the blood that flows out is black.
Tang Xishun said: "The Mu Family's Qisha Needle is really powerful, alas, but this vicious hidden weapon..."
The golden fox bowed to Tang Xishun, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your praise and persuasion. But to deal with this kind of monster, you can only use this vicious hidden weapon. I won't use it next time."
Only then did everyone know that although the old Taoist had palmed against Wei Tianyuan, Tianxuan, Tianwu and others successively.He was wounded by Shangguan Feifeng and Tianji's swords one after another, but the "fatal wound" that killed him was the poisonous needle of Jinhu.The high level of this veteran martial arts and the power of the Golden Fox Poison Needle are equally astonishing.
The disciples of Huashan faction rushed up to greet the head, Tianwu smiled wryly and said: "Fortunately, Junior Brother Tianxuan and I resisted together, so it's okay now." Everyone saw that his palm seemed to have been scorched by a red-hot iron , but Tianxuan's palm seemed to have turned into a piece of ice, and those who shook hands with him felt uncomfortably cold.Everyone couldn't help being shocked.
Seeing that the master was fine, all the disciples began to pay attention to Tianji who was lying on the ground.
Tianshu said: "This guy doesn't seem to be dead yet!"
Tianji moved a little, and was finally able to speak. He said in a hoarse voice: "Senior Brother, I will not be punished. Will you let me speak? If I don't speak out, I will die!"
Just as Tianwu wanted him to speak, he pressed his palm against his vest, sending a surge of true energy in, and said, "Tell me, first of all, please tell me: who is this demon?"
Tianji said: "He is the senior brother of the White Camel Mountain Master, named Sikong Zhao. Murong Chui is the second senior brother of the White Camel Mountain Master. Murong Chui can cut the family's unique martial arts. He can too! I have a part in murdering Tianji Senior Brother Quan, but the person who killed Senior Brother Tianquan was not me, but this Sikong Zhao who changed his name to Shouzhuo!"
When he told the origin of this old Taoist priest, everyone suddenly realized.
You must know that Shouzhuo is a person who serves Tianquan, since he came to Huashan, he has been pretending to be stupid, Tianquan is not wary of him anymore.All the disciples thought in their hearts: "No wonder when the master was killed, he left such a look of extreme surprise on his face. I'm afraid he can't believe it even after he dies. This demented old man with a long-standing figure would actually Kill him!"
Yao Guang remembered the tragic situation of the former head, and cursed: "Although you did not commit the murder yourself, but you colluded with the demons and murdered the head, you can be said to be extremely insane!"
Tianwu said softly: "Now he knows that he is remorseful, junior sister, you should stop scolding him."
The muscles on Tianji's face had been deformed due to convulsions, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I should be scolded and killed. Senior brother, even if you are willing to forgive me, I can't forgive myself. I only blame myself for my weak will." , It’s too late to regret now.”
Tianxuan said: "What did they use to lure you?"
Tianji said: "There is a kind of drug made in Baituo Mountain, called Shenxian Pill. I was lured into taking drugs and became addicted. I couldn't help myself and was controlled by them. When Sikong Zhao came here to lurk, I had no choice but to Let him dictate."
Tianxuan said: "If you weren't ambitious, you wouldn't be at the mercy of others."
Tianji said: "That's right, I'm greedy for profit, and they agreed to help me become the head. As far as I know, they have controlled some gangs in Jianghu by this method."
Everyone couldn't help being horrified when they heard this, Tianwu said: "Among the various sects, are there any members of them?"
Tianji said: "I don't know about that."
Tianxuan said: "The golden fox is the person you asked Baituoshan to send here, right?"
Tianji responded with a "yes".At this time, his voice was getting weaker and weaker, but intermittently, he still spoke out the inner reason.
他和司空照是为了预防万一失手，才请了金狐来协助的。主狐善于使毒，又有一种烟雾弹，必要时可以掩护他们逃走。
说至此处，他突然提高声音道：“这妖狐就是诱我服毒之人，白驼山主的许多坏主意，也是她替丈夫出的。你们若放过她，我死不瞑目！”
他这样一说，天梧倒是感到为难了。
他不知道金狐何以肯来作供，但她既然做了主要的证人，而且又替华山派杀了害死前掌门的凶手司空照，按道理说是应该准她将功赎罪的。
华山派弟子以涵谷涵虚为首，将金狐团团围住，等候掌门命令。
天梧却把眼睛望向上官飞凤，说道：“上官姑娘，金狐是你请来的，贫道想听听姑娘的意见。”他这么一说，华山派的弟子登时也把目光转移到她的身上了。
大家都以为她会替金狐求情，哪知她却说道：“涵谷、涵虚两位道长，请你们看清楚。当日你们所见的那个金狐，是否就是此人？”
涵谷涵虚疑团满腹，齐声说道：“没错呀，她不是金狐还能是谁？”
话犹未了，站在他们面前的“金狐”忽然开始有点改变了。
改变的不是面貌，而是“仪态”。金狐的那种妖冶的“骚态”不见了，虽然还不能说是怎样端庄，却已是令人看得“顺眼”许多。
接着她把脸上的一颗“痔”抹去，笑道：“小时候，爹娘有时也会认错我们姐妹的。我和姐姐在面貌上的分别只有这颗痣她的痞是天生的，我这颗是自己安上去的。”
到了此时，不但容貌有了一点改变，连声音也改变了。
声音的改变更大。金狐的口音是甘肃、宁夏一带的汉人口音，她说的却是地道的“中州话”（河南话）。众人都知道银狐和齐勒铭的关系，先是齐勒铭的情妇，后来才成为他的妻子的。
但不论是情妇还是妻子，自从她十八岁和齐勒铭开始相识，大半生的时间，除了两次短暂的分手之外，都是跟着齐勒铭在一起的。而齐勒铭正是河南人氏。因此她也才会跟着齐勃铭讲中州话。
那次华山派弟子在北京的“什刹海”碰上齐勒铭，银狐也是在齐勒铭身边的。当时武当派的长老玉虚子在场，曾为他们指出金狐与银狐的分别。银狐靠玉虚子的指证才得解围。
如今华山派弟于是第二次碰上银狐，在银狐露出“原形”之后，毋须玉虚子在场替她分辩，华山派弟子也看得出她不是金狐了。
涵虚仍然有点怀疑，问道：“齐夫人，金狐是你的姐姐，为什么你反来帮我们的忙？”
银狐穆娟娟忽地哼了一声，说道：“我是看在上官姑娘的份上，倘若是你们求我，给我磕头也不行！”
说也奇怪，涵虚受她奚落，倒是并不生气，反而向她施了一礼，说道：“齐夫人，上次京师相遇，我们不知此案内情，多有得罪。今日你给我们找出真凶，邵使你只是冲着上官姑娘的面子，我们也还是要多谢你的。”
原来银狐说的那一段话，不过是重复上次说过的话。其时乃是玉虚子替她解围之后，华山派弟子仍然要她说出金狐的踪迹，方始肯放她走。她拒不就范，上官飞凤便出来作调人，要华山派弟子改为向她请求。那段话就在这样的情况下说出来的。
那次他们围捕金狐也没成功，不过这一段话他们还是记得的。如今从银狐口中重复说出来，当然更加可以证明她的身份了。
本已奄奄一息的天玑道人，忽然叹了口气，说道：“原来你果然乃是银狐，我也上了你的当了。”
穆娟娟笑道：“我倘若不是冒充姐姐，你怎肯供出实情？”
天玑叹了一口气之后，却道：“我虽然上了你的当，但我也要多谢你。我做了大逆不道的事，要是永远隐瞒下去，恐怕我内心所受的痛苦更甚，活着也不过行尸走肉而已。如今我说了出来，死了心中也可稍得安宁。”
天梧缓缓说道：“人之将死，其言也善。你虽然悔悟嫌迟，总胜于至死不悔。我可以减轻你的刑罚，只削除你的长老尊衔，准你仍以本派弟子身份葬在本山。”
天玑大喜道：“多谢掌门师兄。”
天梧朗声为他念往生咒：“罪孽缠身，永无安乐。欲求超度，唯有悔改。弃此残躯，得大解脱！天玑，你去吧！”
天玑在他的念经声中，闭上双眼。
天梧叹道：“祸福无门，唯人自召。一众弟子，宜以天玑为鉴！”
华山派得报掌门被害的大仇，对穆娟娟、上官飞凤、卫天元三人自是十分感激，以往的仇怨当然是一笔勾销了。
第二天，他们三人在已经参加过对前掌门的安灵典礼之后，便即告辞。天梧送了一程，瑶光散人和她的弟子青鸾却并不跟随掌门回去，她们还要多送一程。
瑶光散人素来是冷若冰霜的，和他们的交情，并不比华山派其他的人和他们的交情深。他突然表现得“过份热情”，倒是颇出他们意料之外。
走了一程，瑶光散人说道：“卫少侠，上官姑娘，那天在楚大侠家里，我们师徒上了奸人的当，与你们为难，思之有愧。多谢你们不记旧仇，反而来帮我们的忙。”
卫天元道：“误会揭过就算，还提它作甚？”
瑶光散人道：“但听说楚大侠已经被逼毁家逃亡，这也都是我们连累他的。”
卫天元道：“即使没有你们这件事情，楚大侠亦已是早就受到清廷注意的了。这次他们不过是提前进难而已。你们不必放在心上。”
瑶光散人道：“你可知道他们父子是逃往哪里吗？”
卫天元道：“当时大家都急于离开，我们是最先走的。我们走的时候，楚大侠似乎尚未打好主意，只说待他们有了落脚之处，再设法和我们联络。”
瑶光散人甚为失望，说道：“如此说来，我们不知什么时候才能有机会向他们父子道歉了。”她的徒弟青鸾紧蹙双眉，失望之情似乎比师父更甚。
卫天元笑道：“楚大侠也唯恐你们怪他那天失礼，道歉嘛，我看是可以两免了。再说，那天晚上令徒对我的师妹手下留情，我是知道的。若要说多谢，我也应该多谢令徒。”
青鸾脸上一红，说道：“齐姑娘不怪我就好。对啦，令师妹怎的这一次没有和你们一起来？”
卫天元道：“她跟楚家一同避难去了。”
穆娟娟一直没插口，此时忽地说道：“青鸾姑娘，有一件事，我也应该多谢你。”
青鸾一怔道：“多谢我什么？”
穆娟娟说道：“据我所知，楚天舒去年曾经来过华山，他在千尺幢被我的姐姐用迷香暗算，全亏姑娘你救了他。这事不假吧？”
瑶光散人突然板起脸孔替徒弟回答：“不假。但这件事情，何以要你替楚天舒道谢？”
穆娟娟笑道：“天舒是我的女婿呀，你不知道吗？”
瑶光吃一惊道：“什么，天舒是你的女婿？这、这怎么可以……”
穆娟娟道：“他们又不是真正的兄妹，父母都不相同，有什么不可以？不错，齐漱玉也不是我生的，但我是她的继母，她嫁给天舒，天舒也就是我的女婿了。嘿嘿，我如今是以丈母娘的身份，替女婿多谢令徒救命之恩，你说是不是理所应当？”
瑶光散人道：“你真是、真是……”青鸾泪珠儿在眼眶打滚，扯一下她的衣袖，轻轻说道：“师父，咱们该回去了！”
穆娟娟盯着瑶光散人道：“哦，我真是什么？”
瑶光本来想说她真是不知羞耻的，但一想她好歹都是对本派有恩，这句话又如何能够当面骂她？
“你真是好命！”瑶光冷冷的说道：“有别人给你养个好女儿，还给你带来了一个好女婿！”她总算有点“急才”，临时改口，居然可以自圆其说。
穆娟娟苦笑道：“多谢。但愿如你贵言，从今之后，我真的可以苦尽甘来。”想起自己大半生命途多劫，其中苦楚，又有几人知道，不禁也是泪咽心酸。
卫天元拱手道：“不敢有劳远送，请回去吧。”
瑶光还礼说道：“卫少侠，上官姑娘，你们都是好人。他日小徒行走江湖，还望你们照拂。”
瑶光和她徒弟走了之后，卫天元道：“我道她何以对咱们这样大献殷勤，原来她是要为徒弟打听意中人的下落。奇怪，华山派的女道士难道是不禁婚嫁的吗？”
上官飞凤道：“女道士就不可以还俗吗，你真是死心眼儿。”
卫天元哈哈一笑，说道：“对，我是脑筋转不过弯来，她早已说明她的徒弟是要行走江湖的了。倘若不是还俗，她就要被关在观里修行，偶然才能下山一次，又哪来的工夫行走江湖？”
上官飞凤说道：“瑶光这人，据说性情甚为怪僻，少年时候，在婚姻上似乎也曾受过挫折，因此才出家的。”接着笑道：“你说你的脑筋转不过弯，依我看，这位女道长的脑筋也是转不过弯。”
卫天元一怔道：“此话怎讲？”
上官飞凤道：“青鸾于楚天舒有救命之恩，她又是已经准备还俗的。因此瑶光道长自是不免要为爱徒的终身打算。我猜她的想法，恐怕就是认为楚天舒理该娶她的徒儿。”
卫天元笑道：“那就是她看中了楚天舒，未必是她的徒弟亦有此意了。”
上官飞凤微笑道：“我倒是希望你说的对，青鸾这小妮子我见犹怜，但愿她不是单思才好。”
穆娟娟道：“一个情窦初开的女孩子，倘若平日没有什么机会结识异性朋友的话，是比较容易坠人情网的。但这种恋情，不一定能够持久。到她长大了，眼界开阔了，碰上更适合她的男子之时，她会发觉她对第一个男子的恋情，其实只是好感而已。”
卫天元颇有感触，想道：“漱玉对我的感情，恐怕就是属于这类。不过她把我当作大哥哥看待，比'好感'更进一层而已。”
上官飞凤笑道：“齐夫人，你对男女之情，好似看得很透。”
穆娟娟道：“这不是世故之谈，而是我的经验之谈。不瞒你说，我在碰上齐勒铭之前，也曾喜欢过别的男人，而且不止一个。但我终于发现，我真正爱的人只是他。爱和喜欢是不同的。”
上官飞凤道：“你是怎样发现的？”
穆娟娟说道：“因为在他回到别个女人怀抱的时候，我发誓要不借用任何手段把他抢过来。”说罢，似有意又似无意的朝上官飞凤笑了一笑。
上官飞凤道：“换了我，我也会这样做的。不管青鸾的想法怎样，你说了出来，最少可以避免她的师父纠缠不清。”
上官飞凤避开她的目光，说道：“希望你对青鸾的看法没有错。”
穆娟娟说道：“青鸾不是我这类人，我倒觉得她和漱玉比较相似，因此我对她的误人情网，也并不怎样担心。你不认为我对她太过残忍吧？”
卫天元却是感到迷惑，暗自想道：“不择手段的把自己所爱的人抢过来，这就是真正的爱情吗？对方又愿意接受这样的爱情吗，如果他发觉的话。”
穆娟娟把目光移到他的身上，笑道：“卫少侠，你在想什么？不赞同我的做法？”
卫天元道：“我是在想另一件事情，想不明白，正要向你请教。”
穆娟娟道：“什么事情？”
卫天元道：“天玑写给白驼山主的那封信，怎会到了你的手上？”
穆娟娟道：“简单得很，这封信是我用解药交换来的。”
卫天元道：“解药。给谁的解药？”
穆娟娟道：“我的甥儿。”
卫天元一怔道：“你的甥儿？”
穆娟娟道：“我只有一个外甥，就是白驼山主的独子宇文浩。”
卫天元道：“他们夫妇都是使毒高手，是谁敢对他的儿子下毒？”
穆娟娟道：“我！”
上官飞凤道：“你不知道吗？她做这件事，就是为了救你的师妹的。你的师妹在京城的时候，曾经落在白驼山主的手中。要不是她下的毒连她的姐姐都不能解，你的师妹现在恐怕已经被囚在白驼山了。”
卫天元道：“这件事我知道，我还以为师妹是她的父亲救出来，却原来还有这段曲折。齐夫人，你不借对外甥下毒，来救我的师妹，真是多谢你啦！”
穆娟娟噗嗤一笑，说道：“怎么要你多谢我呢，你的师妹不就是我女儿吗？外甥虽亲，又怎比得上女儿的亲。”
她做这件事的时候，她和齐勒铭还是未有夫妻的名份的，不过卫天元当然是不会和她谈及名份的问题了。
“不过我还是有一事不明，你是用宇文浩的性命来交换师妹的，当时难道没有给他解药吗？”
穆姐姐道：“有。但我故意没有给他足够的份量，你可以说我是立心不正，但更正确的说乃是你欺我诈。我是早已估计到他们还有阴毒的手段在后头。”
“果然不出我的所料，他们指使慕容垂和天玑道人勾结，害了华山派的掌门，却故布疑阵，令华山派的弟子把你的师叔当作疑凶，甚至连你也受牵累。因此，我要他们交出那封密件，才把另一半解药给他们。”
卫天元叹道：“遇文王，兴礼乐；遇桀纣，动刀兵。师婶，你的做法是对的。师叔近来好吗？”
这是他第一次称穆娟娟做师婶，穆娟娟听了甚为高兴，说道：“好。他的武功也快将恢复了。”
卫天元道：“啊，这可真是大喜事啊！我还以为……”说至此处，忽地想起令师叔失了武功的就正是穆娟娟，连忙止口。
穆娟娟道：“你不必避忌，他的内功是给我用化功散化掉的。这种药散，我只会配制而不会解，莫说你以为他永远不能恢复功力，我也以为是如此的。”说至此处，叹了口气，续道：“我做了这件事，真是后悔莫及。说起来应该怪我多疑，我以为他总是不能忘怀前妻，要是不把他的内功废掉，他始终会离开我的。我打算得不到他的心，也要得到他的人。”
上官飞凤笑道：“后来你才发现，他的心本就是向着你的。你不但得到他的人，也已经得到他的心了。”
穆娟娟道：“可是我做的这件事，却是大大伤了他的。他是个嗜武如命的人，一旦失了武功，他虽然没埋怨我，我也知道他心里难受。”
上官飞凤道：“现在你们都不必心里难受了。”
卫天元只道她已研究出解药，笑道：“师婶，这可应了一句俗语：解铃还得系铃人啊，师叔不过失掉一年的练功时间，但你对他的苦心，相信他是终生不会忘记的。”
穆娟娟道：“你以为我替他解的吗？不，这解药直到现在我还不懂应该如何配制呢。”
卫天元正等待她说下去，穆娟娟却忽地一顿，半晌说道：“我不想见这个人，我先走一步，你的疑问，上官姑娘会给你解释的。”
她的轻功不在上官飞凤之下，一转身就没入林中。
上官飞凤笑道：“原来是这个人，怪不得银狐都给他吓跑。”
卫天元定睛一看，那个人已经出现在他们的面前了。
并不是什么武功高强的人物，但吹牛的本领则是天下第一。
这个人是著名的“包打听”，原来的姓名叫申公达，武林中人因为他和《封神榜》中那个专爱造谣生事，挑拨是非的申公豹相似，只差一个字，就索性叫他做“申公豹”。
“申公豹”是曾参加过在梅清风家里的那一次聚会的，在那次聚会中，也曾为天玑他们出谋划策，教他们如何对付卫天元和上官飞凤的。他不知道天玑早就有了一套计划，根本用不着他出主意。
他心中有鬼，突然碰见卫和上官二人，这一惊非同小可。但他也知道凭他的本领是决计逃不脱的，只好笑嘻嘻的迎上去。
“两位是刚从华山下来的吧，幸会，幸会。”“申公豹”笑嘻嘻的说道。
“幸会？你见我们都还活着，恐怕有点失望吧？”卫天元道。
“卫少侠说笑了。”“申公豹”道：“我知道你们在扬州曾遭受一场无妄之灾，但早已平安度过了。我替你们庆幸都来不及呢，岂能幸灾乐祸？”
上官飞凤道：“多谢你的好心。请问你来这里做什么？”
“想上华山问候天梧道长。”
上官飞凤似笑非笑的说道：“问候天梧道长是假，想向天玑表功才是真的。可惜你来迟了一步，要不然你倒可以和他喝一杯庆功酒。”
“申公豹”给他说中心事，侥是脸皮粗厚，也不禁有点尴尬。
卫天元心里好笑，说道：“现在还不迟。据我所知，他还留得有半坛陈酒，等着你去喝呢。”
“申公豹”见他们似乎心情甚好，最少是并无杀他之意，便大着胆子，赔笑道：“两位真会说笑。我早已知道，两位和华山派所结的梁子，其实乃是一场误会了。实不相瞒，我正是想上山为你们解释的。不过，现在也用不着我来解释了，天梧掌门、天玑道长他们都是明白事理的人，料想他们早已发觉这是一场误会了。”他见卫天元和上官飞凤能够活着下山，大胆作此猜想。说罢，心中忐忑不安，留神两人神色。
上官飞凤笑道：“
