Chapter 9 The Ninth Chapter The Prodigal Son Returns to His Family Feeling Lost
Yu Wenbo ran for a while holding Mu Xinxin in his arms, knowing from the feeling in his palm that her breath had been well mixed, so he put her down.
Under his stare, Mu Xinxin's eyes turned red, and tears rolled in their sockets.
Yu Wenbo snorted, and said: "You have done something good, and I have lost all face. Why are you pretending to cry, so you feel wronged?"
Mu Xinxin choked up and said, "Actually, Er Zhurong and I have nothing to do. The fault is that I didn't know how to avoid suspicion, but he discovered the whereabouts of the little demon girl. The little demon girl has fallen into the hands of the Tianshan faction. He teamed up to snatch that little demon girl back."
Yu Wenbo said: "Why did I see Miao Changfeng just now, but I didn't see that little demon girl?"
Mu Xinxin said: "The little demon girl has already been kidnapped by Ding Zhaoming. If you don't believe me, you don't have to pay attention to me, go after them yourself, maybe you can catch up with them."
Yu Wenbo sneered and said, "If you want me to go away, you can hook up with another man again!"
Mu Xinxin cried and said, "Old man, you redeemed me from the brothel, and you saved my life. How could I betray you? If you don't believe me, kill me yourself!"
Yu Wenbo softened her tears and said, "Okay, okay, anyway, Er Zhurong has already been beaten to death by me, even if what you said is a lie, I won't pursue it. Wipe away your tears, don't cry!"
As expected, Mu Xinxin immediately stopped her tears and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. As a slave, I have to repay the great kindness of Master. I will never dare to have the slightest disagreement with Master."
Yuwenbo said: "Don't use sweet words to make me happy, I still have something to ask you!" Mu Xinxin said: "Master, what do you want to know?" Yuwenbo said: "Er Zhurong is dead, what is wrong with him? I can write off everything about staying with me, but..."
Mu Xinxin said, "But what?"
Yu Wenbo looked at her coldly and said, "What's your relationship with Yang Yan?"
Mu Xinxin yelled "Yo", "Old man, what's the matter with you, are you too suspicious? How old is Yang Yan, and I can be his mother!"
But Yu Wenbo said with frost on his face, "You think I don't know that you always like to hook up with young lads?"
Mu Xinxin wiped her tears and pretended to be annoyed: "Master, you have to have a reason for your suspicion!"
Yu Wenbo said coldly: "If you have nothing to do with him, why did he chase you? What did he ask you for?"
Mu Xinxin's heart moved, and she thought to herself: "This old man has seen through the adultery between me and Er Zhurong. Although he is reluctant to kill me now, his love for me may never return to the original one anyway. After returning to the mountain, even if He didn't punish me, but I lost my original status, and I couldn't hold my head up in front of my aunt and second wife, or even in front of everyone." Then I thought: "Er Zhurong is dead, I can do it alone. If you can't do that, it's better to be a favor and give him this confession. I have done a great job for him, and the mistakes I made are nothing."
Having made up her mind, Mu Xinxin raised her head, chuckled, and said, "I thought you had some excuse, so it turned out that you misunderstood because of this matter, haha, it's ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Yu Wenbo said with a straight face, "What's so ridiculous?"
Mu Xinxin said: "That's right, there is one thing in me that Yang Yan wants very much. Not only Yang Yan wants it, but also Er Zhurong and the Tianshan faction. I don't want to give it to Er Zhurong. I am not afraid to take risks, risking being chased and killed by the Tianshan faction, to preserve such things. For what, I want to take it back to the mountain and dedicate it to my dearest and dearest! You don’t understand my painstaking efforts, You still blame me, ah, it makes me both funny and sad!"
Yu Wenbo was suspicious, and said: "You have said a lot of things, what is it?"
Mu Xinxin said, "It's a confession."
Yu Wenbo was stunned for a moment and asked, "The confession? Whose confession? What crime did you confess?"
Mu Xinxin said: "Shi Qingquan's confession." Yu Wenbo asked: "Who is Shi Qingquan?" Mu Xinxin said: "Shi Qingquan, you don't know, Shi Tianxing thinks you know?" But Shi Tianxing, who was recently promoted to the position of elder of the Tianshan Sect?" Mu Xinxin said, "That's right, this Shi Tianxing is the one who was originally the top four disciples of the Tianshan Sect, and his position in the Tianshan Sect is second only to the new head, Tang Jiayuan. Shi Qingquan is his son. Please read the confession for yourself, what crime Shi Qingquan pleaded guilty to."
Yu Wenbo took the confession, read it carefully, couldn't help being surprised and happy, and said with a smile: "Miao, Miao, this is really wonderful! I can't imagine that Shi Tianxing, who is an elder of the Tianshan School, would raise such a The son who corrupted the Tianshan sect's rules. The one he intends to rape is precisely that little demon girl."
Mu Xinxin said: "With this confession, are you still afraid that Shi Tianxing won't listen to you? At that time, you can not only ask him to offer the little demon girl both hands, but the Tianshan faction can also be under your control."
Yu Wenbo said with a smile: "Shi Tianxing is not yet the head of the sect, and it may be impossible to master the Tianshan faction. However, it is very possible to destroy the Tianshan faction's plan to fight against the imperial court!"
Mu Xinxin said: "My lord, if you can help the imperial court, it will be a big credit!"
Yu Wenbo smiled and said, "I'm not greedy for rewards from the court, nor do I have any intention of being rich or famous. However, if I give this gift to Director Wu, he will definitely repay us." Before he finished speaking, Mu Xinxin Ji Shi went on to say: "Yes, with the strong support of Director Wu, our Baituoshan faction can become a school of its own in the martial arts even if it is the worst, and then we can compete with Shaolin and Wudang!"
Yu Wenbo laughed loudly, and asked deliberately: "But you said just now that you are going to give this gift to someone dear to you, and you haven't told me who this person is."
Taking advantage of the situation, Mu Xinxin acted coquettishly, grabbed his long beard, and said, "Are you mad at me or are you mad at me? Ask knowingly, who else can this person be except you."
Yu Wenbo pushed her hand away and said with a smile: "Stop messing around, I was just joking with you. Hey, hey, you are not only my darling, baby, but also my good wife!"
Mu Xinxin pursed her lips and said, "I don't have such a great fortune, and there are aunts and second mothers on top."
Yu Wenbo said with a smile: "I divorced my aunt and made you my wife. Let's go back to the mountain quickly, are you able to walk?"
Mu Xinxin smiled and said, "Are you tired? I still want you to walk with me in your arms!"
Yu Wenbo frowned, and said: "If you go on the official road, I'm afraid you will meet pedestrians." In fact, he had fought two hard fights, and he was indeed a little tired as Mu Xinxin said.
Mu Xinxin said enough, "I'm afraid you will be embarrassed, so I have no choice but to refrain from doing it and walk around to see."
The two walked for a while, and suddenly they saw a horse riding towards them, and the one on the horse was an officer.
The officer jumped off his horse with a "ah!" and shouted, "Master Yuwenshan, what brought you here? Mu Sanniang, I was just looking for you, why..." Speaking of which, it seemed that Feeling the need to avoid it, he curled his tongue and dragged it vaguely, "why" or something, without any further words, but said: "I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!"
Yu Wenbo recognized this officer as Wu Yi, the deputy of the coach Ding Xianwu who led the troops to attack the army.Wu Yi's master is Zhong Wuyong, who rebelled against the Beggars' Gang forty years ago, and has a close relationship with Yu Wenbo. In terms of seniority, he is still Yu Wenbo's senior.
Hearing what he said, Yu Wenbo became suspicious again, and said, "Lord Wu, I heard that you are preparing to attack Lut'an Banner, why did you come here alone to find Xinxin? What's the matter? Must find her?"
Wu Yi said: "I was ordered by the coach to ask for something from Sanniang."
Yu Wenbo said: "What?"
Wu Yi glanced at Mu Xinxin, seeming to be apprehensive, Yu Wenbo said in a deep voice, "Xinxin and I are husband and wife, we are like one body, you don't need me to avoid it?"
Wu Yi laughed, and said: "The owner of the mountain is serious. You are the head of Sanniang's family. You should have your consent. It is best for you to be here."
Wu Yi said: "It's a confession letter from Shi Tianxing's son Shi Qingquan, I don't know if Ling Chong told you that!"
Yu Wenbo said: "I've said it. But how do you know that she has this confession? Also, since you knew it long ago, why did you come to pursue it so late?"
Wu Yi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Shanzhu, do you suspect that I am a fake general order?"
Yu Wenbo said: "I don't doubt you, but I must know the whole story before I can make a claim."
Wu Yi said hesitantly: "This...but...!"
Yuwen Bokang said: "Is there anything inconvenient for you to say?"
Wu Yi said: "No, no. But it's a long story!"
Yu Wenbo said: "Anyway, we have nothing else to do, you just say it's okay. As long as I know the truth of the matter, you don't have to avoid it."
Wu Yi said: "Okay, then I will tell you in detail."
When he was talking, Mu Xinxin seemed to have fifteen buckets in his heart, ups and downs, for fear that he would reveal his personal relationship with Er Zhurong; , if what Wu Yi said involves the scandalous things done by this bitch, where should I put my face?" Unconsciously, I became murderous: "In order to maintain face, I have only two ways to go. Either kill Wu Yi Yi kills my mouth, or I have to kill this bitch to keep my dignity. But I have less than 30% of my skill left, so I don’t know if I can kill Wu Yi? It’s not troublesome to kill this bitch, but it’s inevitable It's a pity!"
After Wu Yi briefly explained the "antecedent cause", he said: "Er Zhu Rong had explained his plan to Duan Jianqing that day, since he had no time to return to the camp to report to the commander, so he could only ask Duan Jianqing to make the statement on his behalf. The coach allowed him to act cheaply..."
Yu Wenbo said: "Wait a minute, what did he ask Duan Jianqing to report?"
Wu Yi said: "At that time, the little demon girl Long Lingzhu had just escaped, and we also knew that she was an enemy of the Tianshan faction."
Yu Wenbo said: "That's right, you guys are very well informed. So what's Er Zhurong's plan, you can continue."
Wu Yi continued: "Er Zhurong asked the commander to allow him to team up with Mrs. Zun to hunt down that little witch."
Mu Xinxin was half relieved when she heard this, and thought: "It's rare that what he said matches what I said to this old man. Well, it seems that he doesn't have the guts to expose my affair."
Wu Yi paused, as if remembering something, and said, "That's right, Er Zhurong has gone there, why don't you see him?"
Yu Wenbo said coldly: "He has already been killed by people from the Tianshan faction!" He fabricated this lie to avoid publicizing his family scandal.After hearing this, Mu Xinxin felt more at ease.
Wu Yi said: "Ah, as expected, the commander-in-chief did not expect it!" Then he said, "Er Zhurong has asked Duan Jianqing to report the confession to Mrs. Duan. When the commander heard this, he said the confession. It is of great use to us, not only will it help us to crusade against the Hui tribe this time, but in the future when we return to the division to wipe out the rebellion in Qaidam, this confession is in our hands, and it can also prevent the Tianshan faction from helping the rebels. Hmm , this matter is related to military secrets, so the coach said that it must be done with caution to ensure safety."
Yu Wenbo laughed and said, "So you hesitated just now, because you were afraid that I would reveal your military secrets?" He thought he guessed right, and half of his worries were eliminated.
Wu Yi said: "Although the coach knew that Er Zhurong wanted to use this confession to blackmail Shi Tianxing, he thought it was too reckless for him to do so. So he asked me to chase him back, and at the same time, please give this confession to Mrs. I'll take it back. Of course, our coach would not dare to swallow up the merits of the mountain master and his wife. If the mountain master wants to get any benefits, our coach will definitely play for the emperor."
Yu Wenbo laughed out loud, and said, "Oh, so you guys want to pick up this ready-made bargain!"
Wu Yi said: "I know that Shanzhu and Director Wu have a very close relationship. Of course, Shanzhu can also bring this confession to the capital and dedicate it to Director Wu, but Director Wu still wants to hand over this confession to us. The boss dealt with it. It’s better to let me take it back with the mountain master. Firstly, it can save the mountain master the trouble of trekking, and secondly, it can also be a favor. Anyway, it’s the same for the general manager Wu and our coach.”
Yu Wenbo said with a smile: "There is still a third point that you haven't said. You have completed the mission for the coach, and you will have a share of the credit!"
Wu Yi laughed and said: "I don't tell lies in front of the real person, I really want to be honored. Please read the past friendship with my teacher and give me a favor too!"
The laughter Yu Wenbo gave him made his eardrums buzzing, and he couldn't feel his heart trembling: "It turns out that he has cultivated excellent internal skills, no wonder he dared to show off in front of me." After he was hurt, he became suspicious. The heavier he got, he thought again: "Could it be that he saw that my vitality was seriously injured again, not only to show off to me, but also to demonstrate to me. If he can't get soft, he will come hard! This confession is he I am determined to get it, shall I give it to him?"
Yu Wenbo and Wu Yi haven't met for seven or eight years. Wu Yi's laughter caught his attention only in terms of internal strength. Mu Xinxin met Wu Yi only recently, and she didn't know how to judge from his laughter. The other party's internal strength attainments, what caught her attention was Wu Yi's weird laughter, which made her faintly feel that there was something "wrong".
"Wu Yi's laughter used to be like metal clashing, sonorous, very ear-piercing. Why is it now like the sound of silk and bamboo? Although it makes the heart tremble and the ears ring with fear, it is not unpleasant." But Wu Yi was standing in front of her, and she couldn't see any flaws after looking around.Therefore, although she was a little suspicious, she did not dare to conclude that Wu Yi was a fake.She pinched her sore foot in Wu Yi's hand, so she didn't dare to make trouble, and tried to dissuade Yu Wenbo from handing over the confession to him.
Yu Wenbo was worried about gains and losses, but after some consideration, he finally took out Shi Qingquan's confession.
"I dedicate the letter of confession to Director Wu. Although the benefits are greater, but I have to make a grudge against Ding Zhaoyong, Ding Xianwu and his son. The gain may not be able to compensate for the loss. Moreover, I may not be able to win Wu Yi at present. Since he gave me face, Why don't I just be a favor." He thought.
Having made up his mind, Yu Wenbo was about to offer the confession letter with both hands, and said with a laugh: "Your brother came to ask for it from me. Even without your Commander Ding's order, I must give you this favor."
Wu Yi took the confession letter and said: "I'll go back and report to my order. After the matter is over, we will go to Baituo Mountain to thank you. Please forgive me for staying with you." After he finished speaking, he left and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Yu Wenbo couldn't help being surprised again, and said: "I don't know what kind of adventure Wu Yi has had. His lightness kung fu was not very good at first, but now he has practiced the best lightness kung fu of Taxue Wuhen."
Mu Xinxin was even more amazed. She and Wu Yi had been together for less than a month, and she was much better at Wu Yi's qinggong than Yu Wenbo.It is absolutely impossible for Wu Yi to practice the superior martial arts of Treading Xue Wuhen within a month.But at this moment, she just begged Yu Wenbo not to pursue her faults, and it was enough, not to mention that she had to go back to the mountain to recuperate, if she expressed her doubts, Yu Wenbo would run after Wu Yi and leave her alone. , wouldn't it be bad?She weighed the pros and cons, so she didn't dare to say more.
Wu Yi ran to a distance, and then he burst out laughing.
Before the laughter was over, he suddenly saw a figure running towards him like a gust of wind, Wu Yi was startled, he thought it was the White Camel Mountain Lord who found out that he had been deceived and came after him again.Take a closer look and you will know it is not.
Yang Yan and the White Camel Mountain Master exchanged palms, the White Camel Mountain Master and those two evil sects' miraculous skills are indeed very different, Yang Yan only felt that half of his body seemed to have been thrown into a furnace, but the other half of his body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave .Even though he possessed two schools of superior internal strength, he used the great cycle of breathing and breathing, and it took about half an hour before he began to adjust his breath and restore it to the original state.
When he was in a state of confusion and walking forward in a daze, he suddenly heard Wu Yi's laughter.
The laughter sounded "deja vu", Yang Yan was taken aback, and thought to himself: "This man is practicing authentic internal skills, his skills are very high, and his laughter seems to be familiar. Could it be my adoptive father? However, the adoptive father has already practiced After practicing Taiqing Qigong, the power should be higher." He was hesitant, and then thought again: "By the way, that old devil said that his adoptive father was injured by him, so the injury may not be true, but the power has been affected, but it is It's very possible. I'll go and have a look."
He traced the sound and finally found Wu Yi who was still laughing out loud.
Not long ago, Yang Yan had fought against Wu Yi in Lute'an Banner. When he saw him, he couldn't help being disappointed and surprised.
"This guy's martial arts is no small feat. I have just recovered. I'm afraid I can't use it freely. I'm afraid I won't be able to beat him if I fight hard." Yang Yan thought to himself, the last time he fought against Wu Yi, although he had a slight upper hand, it never happened. To decide the winner.
However, Yang Yan's temper was never to be outdone, and he thought: "If you can't beat me, you still have to fight." With a wrong palm, he ran forward and shouted: "You didn't expect to meet me, today either you die or I die Death!"
Wu Yi fluttered and flashed, and Yang Yan's three consecutive palms fell to nothing.
Yang Yan was wondering why Wu Yi's qinggong was so good, "Wu Yi" laughed and said: "That's right, I really didn't expect to meet you here. However, I know that you are going to go to Tianshan alone Yes, I'm looking for you!"
Surprised and delighted, Yang Yan cried out: "You, so you are Zhang..."
"Wu Yi" smiled and said, "That's right, I'm your Uncle Zhang!" He wiped his face with his palm and restored his original appearance.
It turned out that this "Wu Yi" was pretended by Happy Zhang.
Happy Zhang glanced at Yang Yan and said, "You seem to have fought with someone just now, didn't you? Your qinggong could have run faster. That person must be a formidable enemy?"
Yang Yan smiled wryly: "It's a powerful enemy that I have never encountered in my life. I was almost injured by his palm!"
Happy Zhang was taken aback and said, "Who is that man?"
Yang Yan said: "It's an old man who doesn't know his origin—"
Happy Zhang Quran thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "This old man is with Mu Xinxin, the temptress of White Camel Mountain, right?"
Yang Yan said: "How do you know? Oh, dare you meet them before?"
Happy Zhang said with a smile: "I just ran into them and took advantage of them."
Yang Yan had no time to ask him what he was taking advantage of, he was eager to know the news about his adoptive father and Leng Bing'er, and asked: "I don't know who this old devil is, but he said that his adoptive father was hurt by him, I don't know if it is true or not. ? Uncle Zhang, have you seen my adoptive father and sister Leng?"
Happy Zhang said: "This old devil is Yu Wenbo, the owner of White Camel Mountain!"
Yang Yan let out an "ah" and said, "I should have thought it was him a long time ago. He once asked me to go to White Camel Mountain to look for him. So he is the owner of White Camel Mountain!"
Happy Zhang said: "You don't have to panic, even if your adoptive father can't beat the white camel mountain master, he may not suffer a loss."
Yang Yan said: "How do you know?"
Happy Zhang said: "White Camel Mountain mainly injured your adoptive father, so there is no need for him to flee back to the mountain in a hurry. From my point of view, his vitality seems to have been damaged a lot, and most of it was eaten by him." Big loss."
Yang Yan was a little relieved, and said: "Sister Leng is with the adoptive father, so what if I don't know her?"
Happy Zhang said: "I didn't see them, but I know that Miss Leng must be fine, but it was the temptress who suffered from her."
Yang Yan asked: "What do you see so cloudy?"
Zhang happily said: "When I met the White Camel Mountain Lord and the temptress, the temptress looked haggard and extremely depressed. I knew she was attacked by the cold air of the ice soul bullet." Then he laughed. "It's also fortunate that the White Camel Mountain Master was burdened by that temptress, and he had to spend a lot of energy for her. You also indirectly helped me. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have dared to make that risky move just now."
Yang Yan said with a smile: "It's your skill to change your appearance. You pretended to be Wu Yi and fooled them, so it's not a fluke."
Happy Zhang said: "You don't know, I was almost spotted by that demon girl, she is also an expert in this field, if it wasn't for her sanity not being very clear at the beginning, I am afraid that I will find a flaw for her as soon as I appear. If I hadn't seen that the old devil's vitality was injured, I wouldn't have dared to use both hard and soft methods to deceive him."
Yang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What did you lie to him about?"
Happy Zhang said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is exactly what you want."
Yang Yan said: "Oh, you know what I want?"
Happy Zhang said: "Are you here to look for Miss Long?"
Yang Yan said: "Yes! Do you know any news about her?"
Happy Zhang didn't answer this question, but asked Yang Yan: "Why are you looking for her?"
Yang Yan said: "I know she wants to go to Tianshan to distinguish for me for my sake."
Happy Zhang said: "So you are worried that Miss Long will be implicated by you instead."
Yang Yan said anxiously: "Uncle Zhang, if you know about her, please tell me quickly. I am really worried about her!"
Happy Zhang said: "I didn't meet her, but from the conversation between the white camel mountain master and the temptress, I revealed a little news, it seems that Miss Long has been captured by the Tianshan faction!"
Yang Yan's shock was no small matter, and he cried out: "Sure enough, something happened to her, what's the matter?"
Happy Zhang said: "A member of the Tianshan faction, according to your guess, which one is the one who has the most trouble with her, that is to say, he must make things difficult for her!"
Yang Yan said: "That goes without saying, of course it was Shi Tianxing. I cut off his son's tongue, and he hated me like a bone. In his mind, Miss Long was my accomplice, at least an accomplice. He will definitely not let go Over the dragon girl!"
Happy Zhang smiled and said: "Okay, then this thing will be of great use to you." After finishing speaking, he took out Shi Qingquan's confession and handed it to Yang Yan.
Although Yang Yan knew that there was this confession, he didn't know the content yet. After reading it, he was both surprised and happy, and said: "I didn't expect Shi Qingquan's behavior to be so wrong. Okay, I will show this confession to the head. Go, see what face their father and son have to accuse me of violating the rules?" At this point, Fang began to think of asking Happy Zhang: "That's right, Uncle Zhang, how did you know that you wanted to steal this thing for me? How did you know?" Why did you come here?"
Happy Zhang smiled and said: "It's for your sake. You already knew about Miss Long and your aunt turning enemies into friends? That day you left without saying goodbye in the capital, and your aunt knew that you were chasing Miss Long. That's it. She was worried, and when she told me, I knew what she meant, so I said, okay, I'll run fast, and let me, a thief, sneak up to Tianshan and see if I can help them. Unexpectedly Before I arrived at Tianshan Mountain, I ran into the White Camel Mountain Master and the temptress, who was presenting a 'treasure' to her husband, so I pretended to be Wu Yi and tricked this 'treasure' here."
Yang Yanxi said: "Then it's not too late, let's hurry up to Tianshan Mountain!"
Happy Zhang said with a smile: "Now there is no need for me to accompany you to Tianshan Mountain. You know that I am just a thief, and I never like decent people from high-ranking families."
Yang Yan said: "Uncle Zhang, even though you call yourself a 'thief', in the eyes of many people, you are an out-and-out hero."
Happy Zhang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you put gold on my face. If you say this in public on Tianshan Mountain, I guarantee that someone will laugh and shake their teeth."
Yang Yan said: "Who would laugh and shake their teeth?"
Happy Zhang said: "At least Shi Tianxing will laugh and shake his big teeth."
Yang Yan snorted and said: "Why should you pay attention to a hypocritical Taoist like Shi Tianxing? He doesn't laugh at you, and I want to shake his big teeth too. My adoptive father and Uncle Ding and Uncle Gan are treating you But they are all drawn together.”
Happy Zhang Zhengrong said: "You know my temper, I'm used to being loose, and I only like to associate with people who share the same taste. That's right, nine out of ten people in the Tianshan School are honest gentlemen, real honest gentlemen, not like Shi Tianxing They are hypocrites, but I am afraid to socialize with them. Now that you have this confession, you don’t need my help anymore. Why should I go to Tianshan to make fun of myself? Seriously, your aunt is afraid because of your affairs It's hard to sleep and eat, why don't I go back as soon as possible and bring the good news to her, so as to save her from worrying."
After hearing what he said, Yang Yan didn't force him anymore.Immediately, he hurried on his way to Tianshan Mountain.
The Lord of White Camel Mountain is also on his way, planning to make a big move after returning to White Camel Mountain to fight against the Tianshan School.
You must know that he is very conceited in the beginning, since he has practiced the two evil arts of the cold ice palm and the flame knife, he even thinks that he is invincible in the world.Unexpectedly, this time he went down the mountain, but he almost lost his wife and lost his army.Although he fought against Miao Changfeng and Yang Yan one after another, he didn't suffer a loss, but he didn't take advantage of it, and his concubine Mu Xinxin also suffered a big loss under his protection.The concubine has suffered a great loss, which is equivalent to peeling off his face.What's more, Yang Yan is still a junior, and he has not been able to get the Dragon Lingzhu back.He felt deeply ashamed, and naturally became even more angry.
Miao Changfeng has a deep relationship with the Tianshan faction; even though Yang Yan is a "traitor" of the Tianshan faction, he has not severed his relationship with the Tianshan faction; Long Lingzhu is even more in the hands of the Tianshan faction.He wanted to settle accounts with Miao and Yang, and to get back the Dragon Lingzhu, and it was inevitable that he would have conflicts with the Tianshan faction.He went all the way and figured out how to gather more members of the evil sect, so as to overwhelm the Tianshan sect.
The other person, although strictly speaking, is not an "enemy", but when he thinks of this person, he also hates this person, even more resentment towards this person than towards Miao Changfeng and Yang Yan.
Needless to say, this "one of us" whom he hated was Wu Yi.
He hated Wu Yi for taking advantage of his danger and forcibly extorting the confession, so he couldn't help but speak to Mu Xinxin.
"It's fine for me to fall into the hands of the Tianshan faction, but Wu Yi dares to bully me, which is even more annoying!" Yu Wenbo said.
Mu Xinxin said: "I'm also reluctant to let him snatch the steamed buns I have eaten, but even if I snatch them from him, there will always be some benefits to give back to us. Master, you can treat it as a favor for Ding Zhaoyong and his son. Don't get angry."
Yuwen Boke still said angrily: "I don't care about how much benefits I can get, but I am angry that this kid dared to be so rude to me."
Mu Xinxin persuaded: "It's okay to save face, what he said just now was quite polite."
Yu Wenbo said angrily: "What kind of politeness? On the surface, he was polite, but in his heart he used both hard and soft tactics to force me to submit. Hmph, if my skills hadn't recovered, how could I tolerate him taking advantage of the fire? Even if I wanted to be a favor, I wouldn't personally give it to Ding Zhaoyong Father and son, why sell favors to him! Hmph! I will write down this account, and slowly let this kid know how powerful I am!"
Mu Xinxin thought of Wu Yi's doubts, wanted to say it but dared not.Yu Wenbo noticed that her complexion was different, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
At this moment, two people came running on horseback, said "Hey" at the same time, and shouted, "Is it the Lord of Yuwen Mountain? Ha, what a coincidence!"
One of these two people is Duan Jianqing, and the other is none other than Wu Yi.Duan Jianqing and White Camel Mountain Lord have known each other for a long time.
Yu Wenbo was angry from the heart, and shouted: "Wu Yi, why don't you hurry up to receive the merit?"
Wu Yi couldn't figure it out, but the angry look on Yu Wenbo's face was obvious, Wu Yi couldn't help being taken aback, got off his horse quickly, bowed down with the courtesy of a junior, and said, "I'm from Marshal Ding's camp. If it hasn’t been done yet, what credit can there be?”
Yu Wenbo sneered, "Oh, what else do you have to do?"
The two words "you" in succession made Wu Yi even more puzzled, so he could only answer truthfully: "To tell the truth, this errand is for the help of Shanzhu and Sanniang. Can Shi Qingquan's confession..."
Before the word "maybe" was spoken, Yu Wenbo shouted angrily: "The confession has been given to you, don't you suspect it's fake?"
Wu Yi was shocked and said: "Shanzhu, are you joking? I've never seen that confession. When did you give it to me?"
Yu Wenbo was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Aren't you the one who came just now?"
Wu Yi called Qu and said, "I've been traveling non-stop. I just came here, and I didn't expect to meet you here. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Duan."
Duan Jianqing said: "Master Yuwen Mountain, I did come from Lut'an Banner with him, and he has indeed never left me."
Yu Wenbo snorted suddenly, and said coldly: "I just don't believe it!" He made a move, and struck Wu Yi's Tianling Gai with a palm like lightning.
Wu Yi's shock was no small matter, Duan Jianqing was also frightened.He had just testified for Wu Yi just now, but Yu Wenbo would take Wu Yi's life immediately before he finished speaking. "Even if you don't trust Wu Yi, you should give me some face." Duan Jianqing thought to himself.However, firstly, because Yuwenbo moved too fast, and secondly, Duan Jianqing didn't dare to risk being accidentally injured by Yuwenbo to rescue Wu Yi, so he had to stand aside dumbfounded.
After all, Wu Yi is a top-notch expert, although he was shocked, he was not panicked yet.Since Yu Wenbo wanted to take his life, he had no time to think about it, so he immediately used his unique skills to resist.He stretched out both palms, forming a circular arc, which is the most powerful move in the beggar gang's subduing demon palm technique, "Thunderbolt and Lightning".
After the two fights with Miao Changfeng and Yang Yan, Yu Wenbo originally only had three points of his skill left, but now he has gone through several hours of practice and breath adjustment.His power has returned to half of its original strength.It was precisely because he thought he was sure of dealing with Wu Yi that he dared to test him.
The Beggar Clan's Fumo Palm Technique was originally enough to keep pace with the Shaolin School's Vigorous Hand, although they used the most powerful move of the Fumo Palm Technique "Thunderbolt", it still couldn't compete with Yu Wenbo.At this moment, Wu Yi felt that the opponent's palm was pressing down like a mountain, making him breathless, and he couldn't help feeling cold: "My death is too unjust."
But this was only a momentary event, he just felt a chill in his heart, thinking that his life was in danger, suddenly the heavy pressure on his chest disappeared, Yu Wenbo had already retracted his palm strength.
Wu Yi lost his center of gravity, couldn't stand steadily, and fell forward.Yu Wenbo stretched out his hand to support him, laughed and said: "Brother Wu, please don't be surprised, if I didn't try this way, how would I know your authenticity?"
Duan Jianqing let go of a stone in his heart and asked, "Master Yuwen Mountain, have you ever fought against that person?"
Yu Wenbo said: "No. However, I have seen his lightness kung fu, and his lightness kung fu is far beyond my reach. He also showed off his inner strength in front of me. In terms of inner strength attainments, he is not as good as me, but What you practice is the kingly-based internal strength, which is completely opposite to Brother Wu's domineering-based internal strength."
When he said this, Duan Jianqing and Wu Yi naturally understood why he knew the truth.You must know that when life is in danger, anyone must resort to housekeeping skills, hit if they can beat, and run away if they can't.Wu Yi couldn't even dodge it, so of course he couldn't be that fake Wu Yi who is extremely good at lightness kung fu.
Wu Yi gasped for a while, and said angrily, "Who is that liar who pretended to be me?"
Yu Wenbo said: "Brother Duan, you have been in Tianshan for many years, and you have known a lot of people in the so-called decent schools, please give me details."
Duan Jianqing said: "From what the Mountain Lord said, that person must be very happy."
Yu Wenbo said: "You are talking about Zhang Xiaoyao, the number one thief in the world? I have heard of his name, but I don't know that he is also a master of martial arts."
Duan Jianqing said: "That's right, it's him. His lightness kung fu is the best in the world, and his ability to change his appearance is second in the world. I heard that he once stole many martial arts secret books, and after reading them, he quietly returned them to others. His Inner strength may be obtained by absorbing the strengths of various schools, self-taught without a teacher, and successfully practiced."
Yu Wenbo said: "He lied to this confession, he must have gone to Tianshan to hand it over to Tang Jiayuan, the leader of Tianshan faction. This place is already at the foot of Tianshan, you can start climbing after two days of riding on horseback, his lightness kung fu Don't be inferior to galloping horses, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with him." Yu Wenbo speculated logically, but he didn't know that Happy Zhang had already given Yang Yan the confession.
Wu Yi said: "It doesn't matter if he pretends to be me, but the mountain owner was deceived by him, and it will damage his reputation if he spreads it out. If he can run away, the monk can't escape the temple. I just don't know if the mountain owner wants to avenge this arrow?"
Yu Wenbo understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and thought in his heart: "Greatly, he wants to encourage me to go to Tianshan to ask Tang Jiayuan's important person. This matter cannot be done recklessly." So he pretended not to understand what he meant, and said: "This Of course I can't let him go, but it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, now I'm anxious to go back to White Camel Mountain with Xinxin, and I can only settle the score with him in the future."
Duan Jianqing suddenly said: "Although Happy Zhang is hateful, he is not worthy of the mountain master to do it himself. As the mountain master, if he wants to do it, he should do a major event that will shake the world. This matter It may take a little risk, but I can guarantee that even if it fails, it will not harm White Camel Mountain."
他摸准了白驼山主患得患失而又好大喜功的心理，把这番话说了出来，果然令得白驼山主怦然心动，禁不住问道：“你想干的是什么大事？”
段剑青以退为进，道：“此事说来话长，可惜山主又急于与令宠回山，说出来也没有用处。”
宇文博道：“好，请你们稍待片刻，欣欣，你随我来。”把穆欣欣拉过一边，走到百步开外，沉声问道：“你早已知道那个武毅是假冒的，为什么不和我说？”
穆欣欣知道已经骗不过他，只好据实说道：“我是曾起过疑心，不过当时来不及说，刚才我正想对你说，真的武毅就来了。”
宇文博哼了一声，说道：“你还想用花言巧语蒙骗我么？”
穆欣欣道：“老爷，我说的都是真话！”
宇文博冷笑道：“真话？我问你，你刚才在不久之前才见过武毅，即使一时之间难分真假，难道他的武功深浅你都看不出来？尤其像快活张那种上乘轻功，绝非在朝夕之间可能练成，我与他多年没有见面，不敢武断犹有可说，你与他分手不到一个月，怎能不知道他目前的轻功造诣如何？”
穆欣欣道：“我不是说过了吗，我是起了一点疑心的，不过来不及……”
宇文博“哼”了一声，打断她的话说道：“一有疑心，就该马上告诉我，那有来不及之理，我看不是来不及，而是你的心里有点什么顾忌吧？”
穆欣欣给他说中心病，又羞又急，哭起来道：“老爷，我对你忠心耿耿，你若还信不过我，你就打死我吧。我顾忌什么，你别冤枉我！”
宇文博冷冷道：“你顾忌什么，你自己明白。你不怕难听，我可怕说出去丢我的脸面。有外人在此，哭哭啼啼像什么样子！起来，抹干眼泪，等候我的吩咐！”
穆欣欣想起他最要面子，有外人在场料想他不敢处死自己，于是装作受尽委屈的模样，以袖拭泪，低声说道：“好吧，你过去和段公子说话，我双眼红肿，不想给外人看见，在这里等候你便是。”
宇文博走回去说道：“我与小妾已经商量好了，她可以单独回山。你们要干什么事可以告诉我了吧？”
段剑青道：“不是我不能告诉你，但有一点是要先说明白的。”
宇文博道：“好，那你赶快说吧。”
段剑青说道：“实不相瞒，这件事情是乌总管策划的。他曾有吩咐，必须是参与此事的人，才能知道这个计划。”
宇文博道：“我和乌总管是怎样的交情，大概你总会知道吧？”
段剑青说道：“山主是乌总管最好的朋友，我岂能不知。我的话还未说完呢。”说至此处，顿了一顿，接着笑道：“乌总管最看重的人也就是宇文山主，他说他本来要请你主持那桩大事的，不过白驼山远在藏边，来回少说也得几个月的时间，恐怕延误，这才作罢。但我们临行之时，他也曾吩咐，要是万一有机会碰上你的话，那就还是要请你主持。如果你肯答应，你就是我们的首领了，秘密自然不能瞒你。”
宇文博戴上这顶高帽，面上生光，笑道：“乌总管的事情就是我的事情，你说吧！”
段剑青道：“既然山主答应，那咱们就在路上说吧。此事说来话长，免得耽误行程。”
宇文博道：“好！”随即回过头来，高声说道：“欣欣，我有事情和段公子武大人去一个地方。你体内的寒气已经去除干净了，功力很快就可以恢复如初的，你不必担忧，自己回白驼山去吧。”
段剑青道：“三娘，我这匹坐骑可以给你。”
武毅一想，接着说道：“对，如今已经到了天山脚下，这匹马我也用不着了。三娘，你多一匹坐骑替换更好，都拿去吧。”
此时穆欣欣倒是巴不得越快离开宇文博越好了，那两匹坐骑是青海进贡的名种良马驹，从御厩中拨出来给御林军的高级军官使用的，穆欣欣骑着一匹，牵着一匹，立即绝尘而去。当然，她已是打定了算盘，不会再回白驼山了。
天山绵延千里，一望无尽的重重叠叠的山峦，都是白雪皑皑犹如琉璃世界。杨炎第二天开始登山，又再走了三天，天山派聚居的南高峰方始在望。
山中气候愈高愈冷，呼吸也比平地困难。倘若是武功平庸之士，莫说难以攀登，到了高处，不冷死也全窒息而死。好在杨炎自幼住在天山，内功又早已练到一流境界，此次登山，比起第一次由缪长风抱他上天山走得还快。
这是他登山的脚步虽然轻快，心头却是沉重如压铅块。
他担心龙灵珠已经落在石天行的手中，纵然没有性命之忧，只怕也要吃尽苦头。能够赶得上令龙灵珠避过一场灾难吗？
还有他的冷姊姊，“冷姊姊如今想必已经回到了南高峰，见过了掌门人了。她是一定要替我分辩的，掌门人会相信她吗？石天行若是乘机进谗，会不会反而连累她呢？”
他担忧的不仅是自己的事情，甚至也不仅限于担忧龙灵珠的安危与冷冰儿的清白。他的心里还有一个解不开的死结！
罗曼娜那句话好像又在他的耳边响起：“你究竟爱的是谁？”
他与冷冰儿曾订下七年之约，七年之内，不许相见。偶然碰上，虽然不算违禁，但也不许涉及男女之情，只能保持姊弟关系。另外，他必须先去找寻龙灵珠，若然找不着龙灵珠，纵然满了七年，她也不会答应嫁给他的。
冷冰儿的用心，杨炎当然是明白的。一方面是为了摆脱他的纠缠，一方面是为了想要撮合他与龙灵珠的婚事。
如今已经过了一年，经过了这天翻地覆的一年，杨炎亦已从稚气未消的“大孩子”渐渐“长成”了。
他比起以前成熟许多，因此也就有了更深一层的想法。
“冷姊姊为什么要摆脱我的纠缠，那是因为她害怕世俗的非议。她并不是不爱我，而是不敢爱我！”
“她以为我是孩子气的激情，她给我定下七年期限，无非是想让时间来冲淡我的激情。但从另一方面看，这不正是她给我的一个考验，考验我是否真正的情比金坚吗？”
他绝不怀疑冷冰儿想要撮合他与龙灵珠的诚意，但他也懂得了冷冰儿矛盾的心情了。和龙灵珠结合是否更加幸福那是另一回事，但他可不愿把幸福建筑在他敬爱的冷姊姊身上。
不过他也答应了和龙灵珠回去陪伴她的爷爷的。龙灵珠的爷爷不但对他有救命之恩，而且也有着一分祖孙的感情的。龙灵珠从没有和她的爷爷见过面，比较起来，他更像是他的亲人。
他欠这个老人的恩情太多，他也懂得他要找寻外孙女的用意。
他答应和龙灵珠回去陪伴爷爷，仅仅只是为了可怜这个对自己有过太多恩情的老人，可怜他晚年的孤苦无依么？
冷冰儿和龙灵珠都是愿意为他牺牲一切的，他分不出谁爱他更多。
同样，尽管他已经立下誓愿，愿意把自己的一生献给他敬爱的冷姊姊，爱她，保护她，但他也曾为龙灵珠对他的真爱感动过，他对她的感情，是否也有一点爱的成份，他自己也答不出来。
在这一年当中，他其实已经见过冷冰儿一次。不，严格说来，不是他“见过”冷冰儿，而是冷冰儿见过他。那次是在柴达木的一座山，他受了伤，尚在昏迷之中的，这件事是后来龙灵珠告诉他的，龙灵珠告诉他这次事情，毫不隐瞒她自己对他的爱意，同时也毫不隐瞒她觉察到的冷冰儿对他的爱意。
杨炎心如乱麻，想道：“我是绝不能对冷姊姊负心的，但对珠妹的诺言，我也是无论如何要遵守的。只能盼望她们都能够谅解我了。
“如今已经过了一年，还有六年。我与灵珠陪她爷爷六年，勉强也可算得报答他们祖孙的恩情了。
“唉，其实我想这么多干吗，这次回到天山，掌门人是否相信我的话还是未可知之数；能否斗得过石天行也还是未可知之数。说不定或许我命丧天山也未可知。但无论如何，我不能让她们受我连累。一切都等待见了她们再说吧。”
他解不开心中的死结，唯有暂且不去理它，一切听其自然。如此一想，心情倒是舒展许多。他加快脚步，向南高峰走去。
越上越高，南高峰已然在望了。
高山上的冰川是罕见的奇景，山沟里亘古不化的层冰铺成“河床”，上面覆盖着厚厚的积雪。除了夏天之外，冰川不会流动的。即使是夏天，也只有上层的积雪溶化。不过纵然并不流动，冰川从山上斜挂下来也有奔腾流动之势。
时序正是夏秋之交，许多冰川还在缓缓的流动。杨炎驰目骋怀，但见纵横交锗的冰川遍布在雪白的山坡上，蔚蓝得像翡翠一般。
忽地眼睛一亮，那是两条冰川汇聚之处，平地上好似突然涌起许多宝塔，这是像蔚蓝冰晶的“冰塔群”，成群结队的连成一大片，在阳光下闪着寒光。
杨炎知道过了这一大片冰塔群就是天山派的聚居之处了。在冰塔群围绕之中是一片大草坪。
尽管已经在望，距离还是相当远的。但杨炎此际的心情，已是像“近乡情更怯”的游子了。
冰川映日，杨炎突然感觉眼睛一花，他揉揉眼睛，再仔细瞧，没错，在那片大草坪上是有人影绰绰。
“敢情是昔日的同门在草坪上练武吧？却不知有没有冷姊姊在内？”杨炎心想。
心念未已，忽听得钟声当当。天山派的住处不比佛门寺院，寺院传出钟声不足为奇，天山高处传出钟声可就有点出奇了。杨炎听得冷冰儿说过，山上唯一大钟是必须有大事发生，需要召集一众同门之时方始敲的。杨炎在天山十一年，从未听过钟声。
“奇怪，有什么大事发生呢？难道是为了擒获石天行这些人心目中的小妖女而敲吗？不错，珠妹是曾为我的缘故得罪天山派，但以她的份量可还够不上要本门鸣钟聚众啊！”
百思不得其解，杨炎只好硬着头皮，向前走去。他本来是打算先见过义父陪他去拜见新掌门申辩的，想不到一回来就碰上这样的大场面，把他的计划完全打乱了。
原来天山派的大会乃是为了唐嘉源补行就任掌门人的仪式的。
要知前任掌门人唐经天是唐嘉源的父亲，在儿子为父亲服孝的期间当然不能举行庆典。遵照礼制，甚至在名义上也未能是正式的掌门人，天山派发给各大门派的通知，只能说是由唐嘉源“暂摄掌门”之位。
儒家的礼法，父亲死了，儿子要守三年，守孝期间，不能担任公职。武林人士无须这样严格，照一般的规矩，只是守孝一年。守孝期中亦可处理“俗务”。
如今一年之期已满，故此天山派按照规矩，给唐嘉源确定名分，补行庆典。
天山僻处边睡，中原的武林同道来的不多。另一个原因，则是因为大家都已经知道唐嘉源之作为天山派新任掌门，是早已成为事实的了。倘非和天山派的交情特别深厚，也就用不着这样热心来参加实际上等于是“追认”的仪式了。
不过还有几位鼎鼎大名的武林人物前来参加庆典，他们都是和天山派有着特殊交情的。
一位是崆峒派的掌门丹丘生，他是天山派记名弟子孟华的师父。
一位是武当派的掌门人雷震子，他和天山派的已故掌门人唐经天乃是至交。
一位是青城派的长老萧青峰，他也是唐经天生前的好友，并且是柴达木义军首领之一的萧志远的叔父。
少林派也派了一位达摩院的长老前来，这位掌老法号无碍，数十年精研佛学，在武林中的名气却并不大，远远不及上述三人。
另外一位知名“外宾”则是杨炎的义父缪长风，不过他在天山住了将近二十年，也差不多等于是自己人了。
不过杨炎的猜测也可说得是中了一半，天山派的大会虽然是补祝掌门人就任，但附带要处理一件事情，也正就是要“审问”龙灵珠了。
龙灵珠曾经伤过天山派的弟子，但这刻之所以要审问她，却是由于把她当作杨炎的从犯来审问。
唐嘉源是新任的掌门人，石天行则是新任的执法长老。
本来按照石天行的意思，清理门户一事是应该和掌门就任一事同时举行的。
要知杨炎被“逐出门墙”一案，虽然早就经由石天行提出，得到唐嘉源的同意。但这也只是首脑人物的“内部裁决”，尚未正式宣布的。
石天行的理由是：天山派从来没有出过叛徒，而杨炎所犯的“欺师灭祖”大罪，情况尤其严重，是以理当由新任的掌门人趁着这个大会向武林同道宣布，才能保持天山派的盛名清誉，洗脱门户之羞。
按照武林规矩，清理门户的事，虽然是由掌门人裁决并交执法长老去执行，但也不能只由掌门人说了就算数的，清洗叛徒，非同小可，必须罪证确凿，方能令众人心服。杨炎不是普通弟子，他是前任掌门人唐经天的关门弟子，像他这样地位的弟子，倘若按照常规办事，必须经由同门公决，才能逐出门墙。
唐嘉源对这个关门师弟其实是尚有疼惜之心，但为势所迫（石天行是他的师伯钟展的大弟子，若然按照排行，本应该由石天行继任掌门的。但石天行不及他之受同门拥戴，而且他是前任掌门的儿子，按照不成文的习惯，由他继任也就更加顺理成章，石天行体察形势，情知自己当不上掌门，也就乐得在口头上拥护他了。但也正是由他故作谦让所造成的情势，也就逼使唐嘉源在一定的程度上非得尊重他的意见不行），却是不能不“秉公办理”，而且杨炎打伤本门尊长石天行和甘武维等人，割掉石清泉的舌头等等事情，的确也是事实。
唐嘉源本来准备听从石天行的意见，在正式就任掌门职位之后，就当众宣布把杨炎逐出门墙的。若然这么一来，那就成了“定案”了。但临时发生一件事情，令他改变了主意——缪长风和冷冰儿刚好在他就任的前夕回到山上。
缪冷二人为杨炎求情，唐嘉源初时碍于本派的门规，还是不肯让步的（更重要的内里原因则是为了石天行的作梗，他自己觉得在道理上讲不过石天行）。后来冷冰儿被逼说出内里尚有隐情，但要待杨炎回之后，请唐嘉源秘密接见他们才能说出来。缪长风也给了保证，保证杨炎必然回来，若不回来，就着落在他的身上把杨炎捉回来。他说，即使按照武林规矩，也该听取当事人的分辩，何不等待杨炎回来，若然杨炎无辞可辩，那时才“清理门户”也还不迟，何须急于定罪？
唐嘉源一听有理，这才改变了主意。但也并非完全摒弃石天行拟定的方案，只是折衷办理。
根据石天行的投诉，龙灵珠乃是杨炎的帮凶。杨炎的背叛师门，在他认为，甚至有更大的阴谋存在。龙灵珠既然是杨炎的帮凶，那就必然也是杨炎的同谋。
因此唐嘉源修改了原定的计划，先不给杨炎“定案”，却把对龙灵珠的“审讯”提前。他对缪长风说，他不是不相信缪长风的保证，但要是能够从龙灵珠的口中问出杨炎的下落，岂不省事得多？龙灵珠确实帮过杨炎伤害天山派的人，天山派要对她加以审讯，缪长风无法阻拦。
当然，缪长风也不知道，杨炎此时已是正在急急赶回天山。
此时掌门人就任的仪式已经完毕，审讯刚刚开始。
“小妖女，你知罪么？”石天行以执法长老的身份，一开口就大声吆喝，给龙灵珠以下马威。
龙灵珠冷笑道：“石长老，你替天山派执行门规，是否大公无私？”
石天行怒道：“我当然大公无私，这何须说！”
龙灵珠道：“好，你既然自称大公无私，那就该先审讯你那宝贝儿子！”
石天行并不知儿子对龙灵珠逼奸不遂之事，但儿子的“德行”他是心中有数的，听得龙灵珠这么说心内暗暗吃惊，喝道：“你这小妖女胡说什么，亏你还敢提我的儿子！他被杨炎这小畜生下辣手割了舌头，你也有罪！”
冷冰儿在旁边小声说道：“这件事情发生的时候，龙姑娘当时是并不在场的。”
石天行瞪了冷冰儿一眼，喝道：“纵然这小妖女当时并不在场，她一直是杨炎的帮凶，这件事她也难辞罪责。”
龙灵珠道：“你别节外生枝，现在不是审问杨炎，是我要你先审问你的儿子！”
石天行气得面色涨红，喝道：“小妖女，你是存心侮辱我们父子吗？小儿给你们害得变了哑巴……”
龙灵珠冷笑说道：“他变了哑巴，我可没有变哑巴。他口里说不出话，写字、画押还是可以的。”
唐嘉源听出话里有因，怔了一怔，问道：“龙姑娘，你这话是什么意思？”
龙灵珠道：“石长老口口声声骂我是小妖女，但不知他可知道他的儿子的邪恶，那才是天理难容！他犯的罪比杨炎犯的重得多！”
唐嘉源道：“哦，你知道他犯了什么罪？”
龙灵珠道：“我当然知道，我就是受害的人！”
唐嘉源正想问：“你怎样遭他所害？”只听得石天行已在冷冷说道：“现在到底是审这小妖女还是要审小儿？若是要审小儿，一来小儿无法与她对质，二来我也必须避嫌，请掌门师弟另选贤能执行审讯吧。”
话中有话，唐嘉源并非不通世故的人，如何听不出来，石天行已是嫌他多嘴了。
唐嘉源心中不悦，只好说道：“石师兄素来为人公正，本门上下都是知道的。石师兄认为应该怎样审讯就怎样审讯，不必避嫌！”
石天行面色这才好转，说道：“这小妖女的话如何可以相信，不过若是不让她说，只怕也会有人以为我是恃势压她，甚至误会我是徇私偏袒小儿……”
他话犹未了，早已有他的门下弟子先意承旨，大声说道：“师父说得不错，这小妖女的话如何可以相信。我看她是存心诬蔑清泉师兄，欺清泉师兄无法与她对证，她就可以任意败坏咱们天山派的声誉！”此人说话倒是十分厉害，轻轻一转，就把矛头从石清泉的身上转到整个天山派来。天山派不少弟子听他这第一说，不禁都是想道：“此言有理，若是任凭这小妖女胡说八道，岂不损了本派名声？”于是就有人吆喝：“今天只是审问这小妖女，不许她节外生枝。”“这小妖女分明是欺负石师兄无法与她分辩，才特地要诬告石师兄的，太可恶了！”但也有人说道：“真金不怕火，让她说也无妨。但咱们可以把话说在前头，要是她的控诉查无实据，请执法长老割掉她的舌头！”此言一出，立即又有别人反对。其实这一派的主张仍是帮石清泉的，不过他们主张应该准许被告反控，比较公道一些罢了。
石天行待嘈嘈杂杂的声音稍微静止之后，双手一按，说道：“大家都说得有理，让她胡说八道固然不妥，但不让她说，只怕也有朋友认为咱们太过专横。不如这样吧，
