Chapter 3 The third round of Mount Everest in Cuigu looks for old friends with ice balls and jade swords to defeat the devil
"The sky is dark, the fields are vast, and the wind blows the grass to see cattle and sheep." This is a famous poem that describes the scenery outside the Great Wall and has been recited through the ages.
The scenery outside the Great Wall can not only increase the ambition of a hero, but also it is like a doctor with magical medical skills. No matter how much trouble you have in your heart, being in the embrace of the prairie can open your heart and make your depression disappear.
It is late in spring, and the "flower-falling season" in the south of the Yangtze River has already passed the "yellow plum sky in May", but it is still early spring here.
This place is where a tribe named "Wana" lives in Huijiang. Wana is a branch of the Kazakhs. The current "Ge Lao" (chief) Luo Hai of the Kazakhs is a Wana.
At this time, a young girl came to Luo Hai's hometown.This girl is none other than Qi Shijie in the ice cave, Leng Bing'er who was also dreaming of her.
This place is not her hometown, but for some reason, she has the feeling of "being closer to the hometown and being more timid".
Revisiting the old place, how many dusty past events, sweet and bitter memories are brought back.It's a pity that there are too many bitter past events, but too few sweet past events.
On this endless grassland, she once participated in the Kazakh "Diaoyang Conference", which is a joyous gathering for young people to pursue love.
But strictly speaking, she could not be regarded as a real "participant" in that "Diaoyang Conference", she was just an "outsider", a sad person who watched coldly.
In that "Diaoyang Conference", her first love, who came to Huijiang with her, fell in love with another beautiful and beautiful Kazakh girl. This girl is the daughter of Luo Hai and the princess Romana of the Wana tribe.But strictly speaking, he didn't really love her, and the bigger reason was that he wanted to use her power.
Things have changed, stars have changed, personnel have changed, and now Romana is married, and she has already become a good friend who is closer than sisters.
"Time flies, without realizing it. Brother Yan has been missing for seven years. He was eleven years old when he left me, and now he is eighteen years old. He should be taller than me Right? I just wonder if he is still as naughty as before?"
Leng Binger came to Wana this time to look for Yang Yan and to visit her friend Romanna's family.Romana's husband, Sundar, is also her friend.After Luo Manna's father, Luo Hai, became the chief elder of the Kazakh ethnic group, he spent at least eleven months a year in the "mengsuo" (the office of the chief) in Rut'an Banner, and rarely returned home.But the Sandals live in their hometown.
Walking and walking again and again, suddenly his eyes lit up.I saw a frozen lake in front of me, and the ice on the surface of the lake had already begun to thaw.From the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, there are green fir and cypress trees, some of which are inserted into the lake. In the frozen place, when viewed from a distance, it looks like the surface of the lake is congealed into a piece of white jade, reflected in the golden sunset. The bottom looks very crystal clear.The place that has been thawed is blue like a mirror, with the reflection of snow peaks and green forests in the water, rippling with the waves.
Bypassing the glacial lake, the valley behind is where the Wana people live.
Back then when she and Duan Jianqing came to this place, they fell in love with this beautiful ice lake at first sight, thinking they had discovered a paradise.She willingly made a vow with Duan Jianqing pointing to the lake water, willing to hide her name here and grow old together with him.
Now that she has come to the lake again, the shadow of the frozen lake is still so beautiful, but her mood is colder than the frozen water in the lake.
In this icy lake, not long after they made their vows, Duan Jianqing immediately changed his mind, murdered her, and pushed her into the lake, almost causing her body to sink to the bottom of the lake.
Now that she came to the lake again, the beautiful scenery could only arouse her sadness and fill her with hatred. "Such a vicious person, I hope Brother Yan doesn't fall into his hands! Sigh, if Brother Yan falls for his tricks, it would be unimaginable!"
Too many painful memories, but not without sweet memories.
Thinking of Duan Jianqing and Yang Yan, unconsciously she also thought of Yang Yan's half-brother—Meng Hualai.She and Meng Hua also met in this place.When she was murdered by Duan Jianqing for the second time, it happened that Meng Hua saved her life.
Meng Hua once looked for his younger brother in Huijiang, but he couldn't find him before he returned to the Qaidam Rebel Army.
"When Brother Meng broke up with me, he once told me that he would come again in three years at least, or five years later. It's been the fourth year now, but he hasn't come yet. Alas, I don't know We will see him again that day."
She misses Meng Hua deeply, this is the miss of her lifelong confidant.Yes, for a period of time, she once loved Meng Hua in the bottom of her heart, but this relationship has long been sublimated and turned into a friendship that she thinks is more precious than love.
But at this moment, she still couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.
She stared at the thawing icy lake, and from time to time there was the sound of ice cracking, and her heart skipped a beat.She touched the Ice Soul Cold Light Sword hanging from her waist, and thought to herself: "Master has already taught me the Glacier sword technique, so I guess I can deal with that heartless thief. It's best if Brother Meng can come, he won't If you can come, I will bring Brother Yan back to him by myself!"
Suddenly, the shadow of another boy appeared in her heart one after another, which was associated with this person from the glacier swordsmanship.
Qi Shijie's shadow appeared in her heart.
She didn't think of Qi Shijie often, just like she avoided thinking of Duan Jianqing.Although the two are completely incomparable, to her, this is the same.
"Peerless martial arts, leave it to Yuyuan. I don't know if he has had an adventure in the Devil City? If he has already obtained the Glacier Sword Technique, I don't have to worry about it."
It turned out that when the master taught her the glacier swordsmanship, he said to her: "Although my mother-in-law is the daughter of the hero Gui Huasheng, she has not learned it all. After it is in my hands, I will pass it on to you. What's more, I'm afraid it's only as good as the original three. In the past, we thought this way: anyway, no one in this world understands this set of swordsmanship. Even if what we get is a scale and a half claw, it won't hinder us. But thinking about it now, in case Gui Da It would be very bad for the villains to discover the martial arts secrets of Xia. Your temperament is the most suitable for learning this set of swordsmanship, so I have asked you to be the master. If there is a chance, you might as well go to Devil City to look for it.”
She didn't tell her master that she instructed Qi Shijie to find the secret book, because she knew that Qi Shijie was not a bad person, and she hoped that Qi Shijie would meet the "fairy fate".
"But no matter whether he's 'destined' or 'not destined', I haven't heard from him in the past two years. He must have returned to his hometown long ago, right?"
Of course she didn't expect that Qi Shijie not only got the Glacier Sword Art, but also he didn't go home, and he was coming to the place where she is now.
She lost her mind for a while by the lake, saw the golden light on the lake, and then thought for a while: "It's getting late, what am I still thinking about here? Well, Sister Manna will be so happy to see me, I Go find her sooner!"
With the excitement of meeting Romana, she walked around the frozen lake, wanting to give their husband and wife an unexpected surprise.
But in the joy, she still couldn't help feeling a bit "sorrowful", and couldn't help continuing to "think wildly".
"Sister Manna, like me, has also been fooled by that little thief, but she has a Sundar who truly loves her. She is much more blessed than me!"
She also remembered that in the second year she came here, Meng Hua and Jin Biyi also came here, and they had participated in that year's "Tricky Sheep Meeting". "They must have already been married, right? Maybe when they come back to Xinjiang, they will already bring their children with them."
Why does everyone else have such good "blessings", but she doesn't?
It's not that she is insulated from "happiness", but that she doesn't want to have this "blessing" at all.
This time she went down the mountain early, of course to find Yang Yan, but also to avoid the trouble of others proposing to her.
The person who proposed to her was one of her senior brothers named Shi Qingquan.Shi Qingquan's father is Shi Tianxing, one of the four disciples of Tianshan Mountain.
After Tang Jingtian passed away, Zhong Zhan, the elder of the Tianshan School, had the highest seniority. .Tang Jingtian also had two most proud disciples, one named Bai Jiancheng and the other named Gan Wuwei.When Tang Jingtian was the head of the sect, these four people were already well-known figures in the martial arts world. They became famous before Tang Jiayuan, the son of the current head Tang Jingtian, so they were collectively called the four major disciples of Tianshan Mountain.
The "Four Great Disciples of Tianshan Mountain" are all over fifty years old now, and almost all their children have already married. The only one who has not yet married is Shi Tianxing's only son Shi Qingquan.Shi Qingquan has both civil and military skills, and is handsome, he can be regarded as an outstanding figure among the three generations of disciples of the Tianshan School.Perhaps it is precisely because he thinks highly of himself that he is nearly thirty years old and has not yet married a wife.
After Leng Binger came to Tianshan, he fell in love with her unknowingly.But because Leng Binger lives up to his name and is as cold as ice, he never dared to reveal the love in his heart to Leng Binger.
But since you are in love with someone, you can't hide it forever anyway.His parents saw it first.Knowing what his son wanted, Shi Tianxing proposed marriage to Leng Binger's master, Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang knew that Leng Bing'er had been tortured by love. Of course, she couldn't bear to see her apprentice wither like a flower day by day, so she also hoped to broker this marriage.
But no matter how she explained it, Leng Binger still rejected Shi Qingquan's marriage proposal.She said that her heart was already haggard, like a condensed glacier, talking about marriage, this life has nothing to do with her.Due to her extremely firm attitude, Mrs. Tang could not say anything except to sigh for her.And she also went down the mountain early in order to avoid "trouble".
Are you really heartbroken?Maybe she thought it was true, but she was actually deceiving herself.
At this time, when she went to visit Romana, on the one hand, she was proud of her friend's happiness, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but feel a little "self-pity".
For some reason, Qi Shijie's shadow suddenly flashed in her mind again.In the past, she often thought of him "by the way" after thinking of Meng Hua or Duan Jianqing.But this time it was different, I thought of him alone.
As if she suddenly discovered the secret in her heart, she couldn't feel her face flushing.
Before she knew it, she looked back at the glimmering lake. The glaciers on the Tianshan Mountains might not have thawed yet, but this icy lake had already begun to thaw.
Leng Bing'er had a fever on his face, and thought in his heart: "If he listens to my advice, he won't go back to Xinjiang again. Why should I still think about him? Let's go see Sister Manna as soon as possible."
After Romanna married Sundar, she still lived in her father's house.Her home is the only "Sinicized" building in this tribe, with green tiles and red walls, surrounded by mountains and lakes. Although the house is not big, the architecture is quite ingenious.Only his family is nearby.
Leng Bing'er wanted to give their husband and wife an unexpected surprise, so instead of taking the main road, she went up and down the mountain first.came to her door.
It was dusk at this time, and smoke was rising from other houses, but Romana's house did not see smoke rising.Leng Bing'er thought: "It seems that they are probably having dinner?" He immediately knocked on the door.
Dinner time is also the best time to find someone.Leng Bing'er waited for Romana to come out to open the door for her, while thinking: "She must not have thought that I came to find her, but seven years ago, when I just left this place, I would never have thought that I would come to this place again." You know Although this place has beautiful scenery, it was her "sad place". At that time, she would rather leave as far away as possible.
She also recalled that she fled to Tianshan together with Romana, what happened at that time seemed to be the same, but now the fate of the two is so different, she can't help thinking sadly.
But the joy of reuniting with her old friends is enough to overshadow her worries.She was waiting for Romana's "Who is it?" After Romana realized it was her, there would be a string of silver bells of laughter.
But she knocked on the door three times, but there was no movement inside.
Originally, she was going to wait for Romanna to open the door, but now she couldn't hold back anymore, so she had to call herself: "Sister Manna, I'm Bing'er, can you recognize my voice?"
There is still no answer.
She spoke through sound transmission. If there are people in the room, they will never fail to hear the truth?
"Could it be that their husband and wife have gone to visit?" But this is the time when every family is having dinner, and it seems that this time should not be chosen to chat with the neighbors.At this time, it is only suitable for guests from afar to come to find friends.
She was puzzled, and thought to herself: "Based on the friendship between me and her, even if I went over the wall, I guess their husband and wife would not blame me."
In order to solve the doubts in her heart, she decided to go in to find out what happened. Unexpectedly, when she was about to climb over the wall, she suddenly shot a sharp arrow, and it was a string of arrows!
Leng Bing'er touched the wall with her toes, and then pulled up again, a "kite turning over", the first arrow almost shot past her heel.The person who fired the arrow seemed to have expected her to make this move, the second and third arrows shot one after another, the target was moved higher, just facing the Dazhui acupoint on the back of her neck and the Fengfu acupoint on the back of her heart.
"Sang Da'er, it's me!" Leng Bing'er shouted.While speaking, she turned over like a kite, and with a backhand, she copied the second arrow in her hand, and flicked the third arrow with this arrow shaft.
When she took the second arrow, she was already moved in her heart: "I'm afraid it's not Sang Da'er?" By the time the third arrow fell, she was already sure that it was not Sang Da'er.
That's right, this man's continuous arrow technique is indeed extremely brilliant, it can even be said that he is not inferior to Sang Da'er.But that strength always feels a bit weak.Sang Da'er fired an arrow from a hundred paces away and could pierce the thick-skinned rhino's abdomen, but Leng Bing'er received the arrow and pushed the arrow, but the tiger's mouth didn't feel numb at all.
It was too late to say, and soon, Leng Bing'er already had a body style of "thin chest and deftly turning clouds", she landed on the ground lightly and deftly, her posture was very beautiful.
Looking back, I saw a woman running towards her.Behind the woman, there was a thick-eyed young man with a bow and arrow in his hand, but he didn't come running, but just stared at her blankly with a dazed expression on his face.It seemed that he thought it belonged to someone else, but unexpectedly found such a beautiful young girl.It seemed that he couldn't believe that such a beautiful girl was able to make his magic arrow fail.
This young man seems to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his childishness is still on his face. Of course he is not Sang Da'er.
The woman ran up to Leng Bing'er, took a closer look, said "Hey", and said, "You, aren't you Leng Nvxia?"
Leng Bing'er couldn't help being stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered, she exclaimed with great joy: "You, aren't you sister Kaisha?"
The girl was even more overjoyed, and said: "Yes, sister Leng, thank you for remembering me. Daredevil, come here quickly and apologize to the heroine Leng. Ah, sister Leng, you are here, that's good!"
Kesha is a good friend of Romana, whom Leng Binger has known for a long time.But she didn't know who the boy Kesha called "Daredevil" was.
The young man came over with a flushed face and said, "My name is Kai Shi, Leng Xiaxia. I know you are a good friend of Master, but I thought, I never thought it would be you."
Leng Bing'er was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said to him: "Who is your master?"
Keisha answered for him: "He is my younger brother. After three years of learning how to shoot arrows from Sandal, he thinks he is great. Well, you know now, your bow skills are still far behind! "
Kai Shi blushed, and said, "When did I say that my archery skills are comparable to Master's?" But from his tone, one can already guess that besides admiring Master, he must also think highly of himself up.
Leng Bing'er smiled and said: "You are so young and your archery skills are already so good. Although you are not as good as Master now, you will definitely be better than others in the future."
Kesha said: "He shoots you with arrows without asking questions about indiscriminate things. Do you still praise him?"
Leng Bing'er said: "That's right, I was just about to ask you, why did you shoot me? Where is your master? He doesn't seem to be in the house, where did he go?"
Kai Shi blushed and said dully, "I, I thought you were a demon, I, I want to avenge Master."
Leng Bing'er was taken aback, and quickly asked: "What monster? What revenge do you want to avenge Master?"
Keisha said: "It's a long story, let me tell it for him. To make a long story short, I want to tell you a piece of unfortunate news. Sister Romana has been snatched by a demon!"
Leng Binger's surprise was even more significant, she was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Where is Sang Daer?" Kaisha said: "He was seriously injured. This happened three days ago, and he is still in a coma .”
Leng Bing'er asked, "Where is he?"
Kesha said: "It's at my home. And his son. We have sent people to Ludai'an Banner to protect the child's grandfather. Fortunately, his son was not injured. But he was injured too badly. We didn't dare to move him for a long distance, so we had to let him treat his wounds at our home."
At first Leng Bing'er thought that Sang Da'er was in misfortune, at this moment Fang Shi relaxed his mind a little and asked, "Who is that demon?"
Keisha said: "I don't know. We heard Sundar's screaming in the middle of the night, so we hurried over to see him. We saw that he was lying on the ground and could not speak. His child was also frightened. Seeing us, They just cried: 'Mom will be snatched by the monster, Mom will be snatched by the monster!' It is conceivable that the child was frightened so much, so of course he did not dare to look at the appearance of the 'monster'. What's more, it happened in the dark."
Kai Shi said: "I'm afraid that the demon will come to harm him again if he knows that the master is not dead. Therefore, besides asking someone to protect the master closely, I have taken a bow and arrow for the past two nights and waited for the demon to come again." It turned out that Their home was the one closest to Sundar's.
Kesha said: "The one who didn't expect to come was not the demon, but you. Sister Leng, it's alright if you're here. You are so capable, you can definitely save Sang Da'er, and you can also deal with that demon."
While speaking, without knowing it, he had already returned to Kesha's house.
I saw that the room was dark and full of people, but it was so silent that a needle could be heard falling on the ground.These people are all Kazakh fighters who take turns to be guards.
Those who knew Leng Binger were both surprised and happy to see her coming back with Kaisha siblings, and nodded their heads in salute.
Leng Bing'er asked softly, "How is Brother Sang?"
A young man replied: "I seemed to be a little conscious just now, but I was still half-awake in a daze. I talked a few words in my sleep and closed my eyes again."
Kesha asked, "What did he say?" The young man said, "He called Romanna's name over and over again, and I could only distinguish the word 'little thief', and I couldn't understand the other words."
Leng Bing'er had a thought, and thought: "The little thief he mentioned must be the monster that Keisha mentioned that robbed Romana. Who is this little thief."
Everyone put their hopes on Leng Binger, and Kaisha immediately took her into the ward.
Sang Da'er's face was like gold paper, his breathing was weak, and he knew that he had suffered serious internal injuries.
Keisha gently unbuttoned Sundar's shirt and said, "Sister Leng, look."
After looking at it, Leng Bing'er couldn't help being surprised.There was a reddish palm print on Sang Daji's chest, and the surrounding muscles had begun to rot, giving off a stench.
"What kind of injury is this?" Keisha asked quietly.
Leng Bing'er said: "I don't know. It seems to be the poisonous palm of an evil sect."
Keisha asked, "Is there a cure?"
Leng Bing'er said: "Let me check his pulse and then we'll talk." You must know that although Leng Bing'er has high martial arts skills, he doesn't have extensive knowledge, and he only knows a little about medical skills.She couldn't see what kind of injury Sundar had suffered, and she wasn't sure if it could be cured.
But after checking the pulse, Leng Bing'er's face seemed not so heavy, and she was a little surprised and happy.
Kesha asked quickly, "How is it?"
Leng Bing'er said: "It's okay. Although his injury is indeed serious, it's not as severe as I imagined."
It turned out that Sang Da'er had lived in Tianshan for more than a month, learned the breathing technique of the Tianshan school's internal energy, and later got Meng Hua's instruction. After seven years, the foundation of internal energy has become very solid.
After being injured, the internal strength he had already cultivated naturally played a role in protecting his body.True Qi spreads to resist the poison that invades the body.Therefore, although he was unconscious for three days and three nights, the poisonous gas has not yet penetrated into his heart.
Leng Bing'er's medical skills are not very good, but she can understand the superficial medical principles.She noticed that although Sang Da'er's pulse was weak, it was not messy. She was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly realized: "Yes, I forgot that he had practiced the inner strength of our school!" Inner strength mental method, infusing the true energy into his body, pushing the blood through the uterus for him, as expected, he felt that there was no resistance, and the two true energy blended in harmony.Sundar's breathing gradually became heavy.
After about an hour, Sundar opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he held Leng Binger's hand and shouted: "Romana, Romana, you are back!" Almost wanted to jump up, but unfortunately Powerless.
Leng Bing'er blushed, pressed him lightly, and said, "Wake up, look who I am?"
She rescued Sang Da'er, and she felt joyful and bitter at the same time, thinking to herself: "Their love between husband and wife is really life and death. Why did I meet a man who is ungrateful and ungrateful?"
Sun Da'er became more sober, and only then did he recognize that it was Leng Bing'er.He quickly let go of his hand and said, "Miss Leng, it's you. When did you come? Did you find Romanna?"
Leng Bing'er said: "Don't be so busy talking, rest at ease and heal your wounds, I will find Sister Manna for you." Saying that, he took out a Bi Ling Pill, swallowed it for him, and then tapped his Sleeping Point .The acupuncture technique used by Leng Bing'er is a secret healing technique handed down by the Tianshan School, which can make the patient get a full sleep without harming the body.
Keisha went out to report the news that Sundar had been saved and asked them to go back.However, in order to protect Sun Da'er, although these people dispersed, they still took turns guarding nearby.
Sundar slept for a long time, and only woke up at noon the next day.He had to have Leng Bing'er to push the blood across the palace for him, and he took the most effective detoxification Bi Ling Pill, and when he woke up, he was truly sober.There is blood on the face, and the spirit is much better than yesterday.
At this time, he was able to tell Leng Binger what happened that night.
He was sleeping deeply that night when he heard Romana screaming.wake him up.In the haze, I saw a black figure in front of the bed stretching out his arms, grabbing his Romanna.
With a loud shout, he jumped up and threw himself on the man.But before his fist could hit the opponent, his chest felt as if he had been hit by a giant hammer, and he immediately fell down.In a daze, he could still hear the man sneering and saying: "You are courting death yourself, no wonder me!"
Sundar's six-year-old son sleeps with his nurse in the next room.At this time, he was awakened by his mother's cry, and ran over crying and shouting to ask for his mother.
The man shouted: "If you don't obey me, I will kill your son!"
At this point, Sang Da'er couldn't feel the tears in his eyes, and said: "I was shocked and anxious. I only felt that my eyes were dark, and I don't know what happened in the future. What about Romanna, has she been taken away by the demon?" What about my child? What about the nurse? Tell me, tell me! Why don't you tell, why don't you tell? No matter what happens, you shouldn't keep it from me!"
Leng Bing'er said softly: "Brother Sang, calm down, it's useless to be impatient. If you damage your body, it won't help, but will be harmful."
After finally coaxing Sang Da'er to be quiet, Kesha said: "Brother Sang, your child is fine, we have already sent him to Mr. Ge. However, his nurse has been murdered and cannot be saved! "
Sandal gritted his teeth and said, "What a ruthless monster, the nanny doesn't know any martial arts at all, and he wants to kill her too! So what about Romanna, what about her?"
Keisha said: "You promised me not to get too excited, so I told you."
Sang Da'er sighed and said, "Actually, if you didn't tell me, I would know. She was kidnapped by that monster, right?"
Keisha couldn't bear to say it, and nodded silently.
Leng Bing'er said: "Brother Sang, don't worry. Since I have encountered this matter, no matter what, I will give up my life, and I will find Sister Manna back for you. But you must calm down now , Think carefully, and answer me a question."
Sang Da'er asked: "What do you want to ask?" Leng Bing'er said: "To save Sister Manna, you must first know who the demon who snatched her is."
Sandal said: "I didn't see his face in the dark."
Leng Bing'er said: "What about the voice? You heard his voice. Does the voice sound familiar?"
Sun Da'er thought for a while, then suddenly fixed his eyes and looked at Leng Bing'er, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.
Leng Bing'er said: "Just say it, you don't need to have any scruples." She had already guessed a bit.
Sang Da'er said, "It seems to be that little thief!"
Leng Bing'er suddenly turned pale, and said, "Is it Duan Jianqing, the little thief?"
Sang Da'er said: "That's right, it's his voice! I will never forget his voice!" It turned out that the moment before he fell into a coma, he already knew who the monster was, so he would talk and curse in his sleep. The word "little thief".
Sang Da'er continued: "On the night when Manna and I were bridal, this little thief came to snatch the bride. Fortunately, Brother Meng and Miss Jin were here, and the clever arrangement made the little thief fail to succeed. Instead, he suffered a big loss. Unexpectedly, he was determined to give up, and after seven years, he would come again. This time, he was shot! Seven years ago, I also heard his evil laughter that night. I I can be sure, I heard it right, it must be him, it must be him! It's a pity that Brother Meng is not here." He talked, and he became excited again.
That time it was Jin Biyi who accompanied the bride in the new house, lured Duan Jianqing into the trap, and stabbed him.Leng Bing'er was not there, but she had heard Meng Hua say it, so she didn't have to ask Sang Da'er in detail.Immediately sighed and said: "Actually, if you don't say it, I guessed it. It must be this little thief! Brother Sang, maybe you already know that I was almost killed by this little thief. My hatred for him Never under your hatred for him!"
Keisha said: "By the way, although Brother Meng is not here, we are really lucky. The Leng Xia just happened to come. She will definitely help you find Sister Manna back."
Sandal said: "Sister Leng, I know you will help me. But I am worried, how can you find them?"
Leng Bing'er suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Did you feel a little hot when you were injured by that little thief's palm?"
Sandal said: "That's right. It feels like being burned by a fire."
Leng Bing'er said: "Okay, don't worry, I'll go find the thief right now. If my guess is right, I will find him, you can rest in peace." She was afraid that Sang Da'er would be emotionally disturbed , as soon as he finished speaking, he tapped his sleeping point again to stop him from talking.
"This little thief's poisonous palm skills are very powerful. He must have thought that brother Sang would definitely die. Since what he planned was successful, he probably won't come here again. But be prepared, you have to be careful to protect your master." When leaving, Leng Binger told Kai Shi.
Kai Shi said: "Don't worry, we've already made preparations. I'm afraid the little thief won't come. We will shoot dozens of bows and arrows together. If he comes, forgive him for being unable to fly."
"Okay, then I can rest assured to find your mistress." Leng Bing'er said.
The next night, when the moon was rising, Leng Binger climbed up a steep snow peak.
This snow peak is about a hundred miles away from the place where the Wana people live. However, due to the cliffs and rocks, covered with ice and snow, the Wana people who are good at mountain climbing have never been to this mountain.
But Leng Binger had been to this snow peak before.
There is a painful memory of her buried in this snow peak.
Seven years ago, Duan Jianqing worshiped the red-haired monster Ouyang Chong as his teacher on this snow peak, and he deliberately planned to get the two treasures of the Wana tribe into his hands. Go, one is the jade mine.) The first move is to ask Duan Jianqing to cheat Romanna's love.If he could marry Romana, Duan Jianqing might become the chief elder of the entire Kazakh tribe. At that time, not only the two treasures would be available, but Duan Jianqing could even become king outside the Great Wall.
It was after Leng Bing'er was murdered that she found out about Duan Jianqing's worship of the demon Ouyang Chong as his teacher. Afterwards, she spied secretly and gradually learned about their master and apprentice's conspiracy.
Once Leng Bing'er sneaked up to Xuefeng, was discovered by Ouyang Chong, and was almost murdered. Fortunately, Meng Hua happened to follow Duan Jianqing to this Xuefeng, and with Meng Hua's help, he was able to escape.It was also during this incident that she saw Duan Jianqing's ferocious face more clearly.
However, it was precisely because of this incident that she had an idea, speculating that Duan Jianqing might be hiding on this snow peak at this time.
The reason she speculates is: Romanna will never obey Duan Jianqing, and it is expected that Duan Jianqing will not dare to take Romanna far away, so he must hide Romanna in a nearby place first, and then use his intimidation and deception effort.And the best hiding place, of course, is this snow peak which is only a hundred miles away from Romana's home.
There is also a stone house built by Ouyang Chong on Xuefeng. Although Ouyang Chong has died long ago, the stone house is still there.
Leng Bing'er remembered this incident from the poisonous palm injury suffered by Sang Da'er.
Unknowingly, when the moon was approaching the mid-heaven, Leng Bing'er had already climbed up the hill, and the stone house was already in sight.
Leng Bing'er thought in her heart: "Sang Da'er's palm injury is obviously the Thunder God Palm that the red-haired demon Ouyang Chong passed to this little thief, but Ouyang Chong's Thunder God Palm is non-toxic, so this little thief's The Thunder God Palm probably combined the poisonous kung fu he got from Han Ziyan, the temptress, and re-practiced it by himself. Not only is it more vicious than Ouyang Chong's Thunder God Palm, but the kung fu seems to be even higher than Ouyang Chong's back then. Fortunately, I have also mastered the glacier swordsmanship, otherwise I am afraid that this little thief will not be able to avenge him with the Thunder God Palm alone."
After seven years of separation, Duan Jianqing obtained Han Ziyan's Poison Kungfu and Master Kaxiang's Inner Kungfu of Nalanda Temple in Tianzhu.
Whether Leng Bing'er will be able to avenge her revenge, even if she thinks she can handle Thunder God's Palm, she is still not sure.
The stone house is already in sight, and the hater is burning in his heart.Leng Bing'er gritted her teeth and thought to herself: "Even if Xiao Jie's martial arts are far superior to mine now, if I give up my life, I must fight him!"
She was afraid that Duan Jianqing would find out, so she used the extremely light kung fu of "Treading Xue Wuhen" and approached the stone house quietly.
The two board doors of the stone house were kicked down by Meng Hua in front of the Seven Falcons. They have been in disrepair for a long time, and now they are even more dilapidated.Duan Jianqing must have not had time to repair the house yet, although the two doors didn't collapse, they couldn't be closed, and he could see the situation inside the house at a glance.
After seeing it, Leng Bing'er couldn't help being both surprised and happy.
There was a person in the room, she was like a clay sculpture, motionless, her face was facing inward, her back was facing outward.
The moonlight was hazy this night, and all I could see was my back.But because this person Leng Bing'er was too familiar with her, one could tell at a glance that it must be Romana.
Leng Bing'er didn't expect it to be so smooth, and found Romana right away.At this moment, I couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.
Why was Romana alone in the house?
But as soon as this doubt arose, she found an explanation for herself: "Looking at the situation, Sister Manna must have ordered the acupuncture points for the little thief. The little thief may have gone out to find food. Of course he is determined to know." He never expected that I would come here, he only knew that the Wana people would not be able to climb this snowy peak, so of course he can rest assured that Sister Manna will be left alone."
She is eager to save people, not to mention that there can be a "reasonable" explanation for this suspicion, even if she can't find it, she must enter this room!
She flew into the room, grabbed the head of the man's house, and shouted: "Sister Manna..." She wanted to pull Romanna over, and then check what acupuncture points she had ordered, and then she could relieve her acupuncture points .
Unexpectedly, she only yelled "Sister Manna", and immediately knew something was wrong.Because as soon as she touched the "person"'s shoulder, she immediately realized that it was not a real person!But it's too late!
It turned out that it was a dummy made of leather. Once it was touched, it immediately cracked like a skin bag that had been scratched, and it burst open with a sound of "wave", emitting poisonous gas.At the same time, there was a "bang" under the feet, and a big hole was opened.
Become hasty, Leng Bing'er has inhaled the poisonous gas again, there is still room to avoid it, of course she fell down.
She inhaled the poisonous smoke and felt dizzy, but she was not unconscious yet.It turned out that she knew that Duan Jianqing had obtained Han Ziyan's poisoning skills, and she had been on guard for a long time. Before entering the house, she contained half a Biling Pill made from Tianshan snow lotus.
When her body was about to approach the ground, Leng Bing'er felt someone gently support her, and then put her down.那人跟着哈哈大笑起来。
冷冰儿本来有师父给她的六颗碧灵丹，她送了两颗给齐世杰，桑达儿服了一颗，自己只剩下三颗。她舍不得多用，这次只是把半颗碧灵丹含在口中。碧灵丹虽说能解百毒，但由于她是冷不及防就吸进毒气的，即使是仙丹也得有一段时间才能解毒，何况她又是含了半颗。
此时她已把那半颗嚼烂吞了下去，但试一运气，只觉还是呼吸困难，身子也是感觉软绵绵的使不出半点气力，“这小贼真是狡猾，想不到我已经有了提防，还是中了他的毒计！”但冷冰儿也知道，在这样的情形之下，骂是没有用的，她只能将计就计，徐图脱身之策。
段剑青既然当她业已昏迷，她就索性装作昏迷，闭上双目，一声不响。
那人在大笑声中拨开她的覆额秀发，冷冰儿感觉得到那人的脸好像已经贴近了她的脸，口中喷出来的热气也感觉得到了。想必那人正在弯下腰仔细看她的面貌。
冷冰儿气得几乎炸了心肺，但只能忍耐。她极力使自己冷静下来，一面暗运内息，催动药力的运行。
忽地感觉似乎有点什么不对，她突然想起来了：“奇怪，这人的笑声，不像是段剑青这小贼的笑声！”
她和段剑青曾海誓山盟，虽说那是假情假意，但段剑青的声音她却是熟得无可再熟的。她用不着张开眼睛，已经知道这个人绝对不会是段剑青了。
但桑达儿也说，那晚抢走罗曼娜的人，他听得出的确是段剑青的声音的。这是什么缘故呢？
“难道是他听错了？但这个人却又是谁？听声音似乎年纪也并不大。”
心念未已，那人在哈哈大笑之后，又在自言自语了。
“好个美貌的雌儿，嘿嘿，虽然还比不上罗曼娜那么美貌，也差不了多少。罗曼娜是个有了孩子的妇人，要是任我选择的话，我倒宁愿要这雌儿。嘿嘿，哈哈，段剑青有罗曼娜，料想他也不会和我争了。我替他做事，赢得美人，也算是值得了。”
果然不是段剑青。不过也还是段剑青的党羽。
从这个人的话中，整件事情，冷冰儿也可以得知梗概了。那晚桑达儿没有听错，劫走罗曼娜的是段剑青，但却不知他把罗曼娜藏在何处。他与同党串通，布下陷阱，让来救罗曼娜的人上当。
冷冰儿气得几乎昏了过去，心里想道：“要是他来欺侮我，我只有自断经脉而亡！”幸好那人没有进一步的动作。
忽听得那人又在哈哈大笑起来，自言自语道：“剑鞘已是价值连城，这把剑定然是把宝剑！哈哈，想不到我既得美人，又得宝剑。美人儿且慢慢受用，先看这把宝剑吧！”
原来他刚才是解下冷冰儿腰间所佩的冰魄寒光剑。剑鞘镶珠嵌玉，形式奇古，他虽然不知道这把剑的来历，一见就动了心了。
他把冰魄寒光剑拿到手中，不觉打了一个寒噤。打了这个寒噤，更加惊喜，笑道：“剑未出鞘，已是寒气逼人，真是好一把宝剑啊！”
那知他一拔剑出鞘，却得到意想不到的结果！
冰魄寒光剑是埋藏在万载玄冰之中的寒玉练成，用不着刺着敌人，那股奇寒之气，已是足以令人冻僵。这人的内功虽然有相当火候，但由于这做梦也想不到世间竟有如此奇特的宝剑，事前丝毫没有防备，当然更未想到要运功抵御了。
剑一出鞘，寒光耀目，寒气刺骨，那人“啊呀”一声叫了起来，忙把冷魄寒光剑摔开，只觉血液都似乎冻得要凝结了。
说时迟，那时快，冷冰儿已是掏出一颗冰魄神弹，张开眼睛，双指一弹，打那人的神堂穴。
冰魄神弹是取万载玄冰的冰魄精英练成的，和冰魄寒光剑一样，是世间最奇特的暗器。它一发出，片刻就会溶化。不过威力虽然不及冰魄寒光剑，但若是给打个正着，冷得更加难受。冷冰儿功力尚未恢复，冰弹失了准头，不过虽然没有在那人的“神堂穴”打个正着，却已令得那人冷得全身发麻，再无抵抗之力。
冷冰儿一跃而起，拿起了冰魄寒光剑，喝道：“你这小贼如此可恶，先让你吃点苦头，再审问你！”正要用剑在他身上戳几下，发泄心头的一点怒气，忽见那人睁大眼睛看她，神气甚为古怪。
这霎那间，冷冰儿不觉也呆住了。手中的冰魄寒光剑竟是戳不下去。
“奇怪，这个人我怎的似曾相识？我是在那里见过他的呢？”蓦然心念一动，冷冰儿的脸色登时变的白如冰雪，颤声问道：“你，是谁？”
那人似乎也是开始认出了冷冰儿，叫道：“你，你是冷姐姐吗？我是杨炎呀！冷姐姐，你不认识你的炎弟弟么？”
此言一出，冷冰儿就像心头被冰魄寒光剑戳穿，所受的创伤比她当年被段剑青推下冰湖更加难受！
杨炎怎的会变成这么样的一个人呢！
她茫然的看着这个站在她的面前自称是她“炎弟”的少年，一时间非但没法说出话来，连思想也好似凝结了。她怎么也不能把这个少年和以前那个她最疼爱的“炎弟”放在一起联想。记忆变成了一片空白。
她好似风中之烛，身子摇摇欲坠，终于站立不稳，颓然坐下。
杨炎注视着她，好像在打什么主意，他不知道冷冰儿已经恢复几分功力，但却知道自己是使不出气力了。冷冰儿有冰魄寒光剑在手，即使冷冰儿也是毫无气力，亦足制他死命。
他看了看冷冰几手中的那把冰魄寒光剑，本来已经是感觉冷得难受的，越发冷得牙关打战了。
他好像主意已经打定了，忽地左右开弓，噼啪打了自己两记耳光。讷讷道：“冷姐姐，我，我罪该万死，我，我不知道！”
“住嘴！”冷冰儿喝道。她稍稍定下心神，想起杨炎适才对她的无礼，不觉怒气上冲，斥道：“谁是你的姐姐？亏你还有脸皮和我说话！”
杨炎跪倒她的面前，说道：“冷姐姐，请你念在往日姐弟之情，饶恕我吧！要是你不肯饶我，我宁愿在你跟前自尽。”
冷冰儿心痛如绞，喝道：“站起来，我不愿看你这副丑态！”心想：“炎弟以前本是个心高气傲的孩子，有时做错了事，被我说几句他也受不了。想不到如今他竟变得如此下贱，不惜自打耳光了。”
眼前这个杨炎，和她记忆中的“炎弟”，除了面貌依稀有点相似之外，变得简直完全不同了。她不觉起了一点怀疑，喝道：“你当真是杨炎么？”
杨炎说道：“自从你上天山的第一天，我就一直跟随着你。那次也是你带我下山去找我的爹爹和哥哥的。虽然咱隔别了七年，我的相貌或许变化很大，你总该还认得我呀，怎的会怀疑我不是你的炎弟呢？你要是还不相信的话，请，请你瞧一瞧我这粒痣。”说罢，露出左臂一粒红痣。杨炎小时候，冷冰儿有一段期间，差不多等于是兼任他的保姆的。杨炎臂上有颗红痣，她当然是记得的。
冷冰儿说道：“你说得好，我是应该认得你的。但为什么你却却认不得我呢。难道我的相貌比你变得更大？”要知他们分手的时候，杨炎是十一岁，冷冰儿是十九岁。隔别相近七年，杨炎是从十一岁的儿童变为十七八岁的少年，冷冰儿今年未满二十六岁，仍然可以说是在少女的阶段。相貌的变化实是微乎其微。她话出了口，简直不敢再想下去。
她手按冰魄寒光剑，瞪着眼睛看杨炎，心里自己问自己：“假如他早就认出了我，还对我如此无礼，那，那我该怎么办？是杀了他呢？还是看在孟大哥份上，饶他这一次呢？”
杨炎满面通红，说道：“我，我做梦也想不到你会来这里的，你跌下来的时候，脸上沾了尘土，我觉得似曾相识，可还不敢想到竟然真的是你。听到你的声音，我才认出来了。”
冷冰儿喝道：“即使你尚未知道是我，你也不该，你也不该——哼，你知不知道，你的所作所为已经、已经是和段剑青这小贼一般无异！我这次来就正是要杀段剑青的！”
杨炎颤声道：“我，我知道罪当万死，冷姐姐，你要是不肯原谅我，你亲手杀了我吧！我没有勇气自尽，我宁愿死在你的手里。”
冷冰儿叹口气道：“论理我该替掌门人清理门户，但姑念你年幼无知，暂且饶你性命。唉，杨炎，你、你为什么会变成这个样子？”
杨炎说道：“我是身不由己，他要我怎样做，我就只能怎样做。要是我不听他的话，他会折磨我，求生不得，求死不能！”
冷冰儿道：“你说的这个'他'，是段剑青吧？”在此之前，她还存着一线希望，希望杨炎不是落在段剑青手中，如今她已知道这幻想是破灭了。
果然杨炎答道：“不是他还能有谁？这许多年来我一直受他挟制！”
冷冰儿哼了一声，冷冷说道：“你就这样听他的话！我问你，你还记得和我第一次会面的事情吗？”
杨炎说道：“记得。你是和我的大哥一起上山的。”
冷冰儿道：“还有呢？”
杨炎说道：“我受了段剑青的欺骗，不相信孟华是我哥哥。他要带我下山，哥哥投鼠忌器，不敢阻拦。当时你已经是受了伤的，他对你的防备较为松懈，你就冒着性命的危险，突然从他的手中把我夺回来。可我还以为你和我的哥哥都是坏人，非但不感激你相救之恩，反而打了你一掌。唉，冷姐姐，说起来我对不住你的事情真是太多了！”
冷冰儿道：“难为你还记得这样清楚，后来怎样？”
杨炎说道：“你给我打一掌，段剑青就乘机把我夺了回去，把你打得伤上加伤。哥哥过来抢救，那时他才露出狰狞面目，拿我做为人质，威胁我的哥哥。他用狠毒的手法折磨我，威胁我的哥哥退后。”
冷冰儿道：“你受到他的折磨，有没有哭喊？”杨炎说道：“没有。那时，我已经知道了他是坏人，孟华也真的是我的哥哥了。我假意说愿意跟他下山，骗他相信，冷不及防，咬他一口，挣脱魔掌。哥哥立即就扑上来，将他吓跑。”
冷冰儿说道：“我以为你已经忘记这件事情了，原来你还记得！杨炎，想起小时候的事情，你不觉得惭愧么？”
杨炎低下头，装作一副无地自容的惶愧神气，冷冰儿继续说道：“小时候你那么倔强，一分清了是非，就能不顾死活，也要挣脱魔掌。我真是想不到，为甚么你现在会变成这种窝囊样子！”
她口里斥骂杨炎，心里却已软了。原来她故意提起这件旧事，用意固然是在激发杨炎的羞耻之心，另一方面，也是在进一步的试探，看看这个杨炎到底是真是假？
杨炎把这件事情的经过说得甚为详细，甚至每一个细节都还记得清楚，冷冰儿对他是再也没有怀疑了，证实了面前这个少年的确是杨炎之后，冷冰儿的心里虽然是十分难过，但已决定饶他了。杨炎何等聪明，一听她的口气，亦已知道冷冰儿是相信了他，自己的性命是可以保住了。当下装出一副惶愧的神气说道：“我，我也不知道怎的会变成这样软弱的。没有办法，我实在是怕他。我也曾经想过自尽，但我还希望能够见到爹爹，见到哥哥和见到你。你知道我是从来没有见过爹爹的，所以我舍不得死。我不能死，那就只能听他说话了。”
冷冰儿不觉起了一丝怜惜的念头，暗自想道：“六七年来，他受尽了那小贼的折磨，就是一块石头，也要给磨成粉了。少年人意志薄弱，那也不足深责。”于是柔声说道：“只要你真正悔悟前非，你还是可以挣脱魔掌的。你告诉我，段剑青在甚么地方，他把罗曼娜怎么样了？”
杨炎道：“你要去打他？”冷冰儿道：“废话！我来到这里，当然的为了找他算帐！”
杨炎说道：“他的武功厉害得很啊，冷姐姐，你打得过他吗？”
冷冰儿道：“打不过又怎么样？是不是你怕我打不过他，就不敢带我去打他了？”
杨炎道：“我死有余辜，送了命不打紧。但要是你报不了仇，反而送了性命，那就不值了。”
冷冰儿知道他是胆怯，心里虽然生气，却也不忍再责怪他，当下说道：“你放心，我知道这小贼练成了许多歹毒武功，但这七年来我也没有闲着。我已经练成了本门内功和冰川剑法，还有这把冰魄寒光剑之助，料想不至于输给段剑青这个小贼。”其实她不过是想要坚定杨炎的信心，并非真的有那么大的把握的。
杨炎说道：“啊，原来你这把宝剑就是冰魄寒光剑吗？那就不怕了！”
冷冰儿道：“你以前没有见过这把宝剑？”杨炎说道：“师父和我说过这把剑的名字，却没给我看。”
要知杨炎是唐经天最疼爱的关门弟子，自小在天山长大，故此冷冰儿以为他是见过这把宝剑的。但心想自己来到天山的时候，杨炎也还不过才满十岁。唐经在可以把这把宝剑的来历，当作故事说给杨炎知道。但为了怕孩子不懂事，一定要拿这把宝剑来玩，虽然可以阻止他，那也不免多了麻烦。不给他看，那倒是合乎情理之事。
“好，你既然不害怕了，可以带我去找段剑青了吧？否则，你告诉我他在那里也行。”冷冰儿说道。
杨炎说道：“他把罗曼娜藏在一个山洞之中，那地方很不好找，而且布有机关，还是我带你去的好。”
冷冰儿道：“好，那就去吧！”
杨炎说道：“我现在恐怕还不能去。”
冷冰儿道：“为什么？”随即恍然大悟，说道：“敢情你还是冷得难受吗？”
杨炎说道：“比刚才好了一些，但施展轻功，恐怕还不能够。”
冷冰儿道：“好，你盘膝坐在地上，运用本门内功，行大周天吐纳法。”口中说话，右掌已是伸出，按着他的背心。
当冷冰儿手掌按下之时，杨炎不禁心头一震，身不由己的打了一个寒颤。但不过片刻，便觉得有股热气，好似从背心输入，转瞬流转全身，寒意顿然消失。杨炎这才放下心上一块石头，哑然自笑：“她要杀我，早就可以把我置之死地，何必多弄玄虚？”原来冷冰儿掌压之处，乃是背心要穴，杨炎虽然料准冷冰儿已经相信了他说的话，心中到底还是不禁有些害怕。
冷冰儿已练成了少阳神功，足以抵御最厉害的阴寒之气，故而可以使用冰魄寒光剑的。但此际她也不过只是恢复了三四分功力，不能全都用来帮助杨炎驱寒，只能先用一两分的少阳神功，令他气血能够畅通，至于完全恢复功力，那还要靠他自己。
冷冰儿道：“好了点吗？”
杨炎说道：“暖和多了，不过——”
冷冰儿说道：“莫要养成依赖他人的习惯，你只须运用本门内功，很快就可以恢复如初的。”说罢，不再理睬杨炎，独自运功祛毒。
碧灵丹的药力已经开始生效，她运功加速药力运行，不到半枝香时刻，余毒已是尽除，恢复了七八分功力。估计在找到段剑青的巢穴之时，功力当可完全恢复。
她抬起头来，只见杨炎还是盘膝坐在地上，头上冒出白气，但不时仍打寒颤。
按说杨炎所受的寒气不过是着了一颗冰魄神弹，虽然不是武功泛泛之辈所能忍受，但比起她中的毒，还是远远不如的。即使以杨炎十一岁时候的内功造诣，加上她少阳神功之助，此时亦已应该恢复如常的了。
冷冰儿心想：“他能用内功把寒气逼得化为汗水挥发，功力已经是不算差了，为甚么还在打颤呢？”蓦地想通一节道理，眉头一皱，说道：“杨炎，你运用的不是本门内功吧？”
杨炎苦着脸道：“这几年，段剑青逼我改学邪派内功，本门的内功已经忘了。”
冷冰儿道：“你难道平时不会私下自己练么？”杨炎道：“我没有耐心，又怕他知道。可都丢荒了。”
冷冰儿哼了一声，说道：“你真是忘本！”但骂尽管骂，还是不忍他多受痛苦，而且也为了他能够快点带领自己去找段剑青，只好完全越俎代庖了。
当下冷冰儿以本身真气输入杨炎体内，为他推血过宫。此时冷冰儿的功力已经恢复了七八成，不过片刻，便即替杨炎打通奇经八脉，使到他血脉畅通，恢复如初。
杨炎说道：“多谢姐姐。唉，本门内功真是奇妙，可惜我疏于练习，都丢荒了。”言下大有羡慕之色。
冷冰儿瞪他一眼，说道：“你的资质本来远胜于我，要是你能够改邪归正，把你的鬼聪明都用在武功上，从头做起，练到我的境界又有何难？就只怕你学好了武功不做好事。”
杨炎说道：“好姐姐，今后我一定听你的教导，再也不敢做坏事了。你相信我吧。”冷冰儿冷冷说道：“空口说白话是没有用的。你这几句话我姑且记下来，以观后效。走吧。”
杨炎前头引路，越过几重岗峦，走上一座巉岩，岩上长松蔽日，藤蔓引风，面前一层峭壁拔地而起，不下二三十丈从顶至底，毫无借力攀援之处。
杨炎苦笑说道：“冷姐姐，段剑青藏匿的那个山洞，就在峭壁那边，可是我没有本领过去。”
冷冰儿道：“那你怎么知道山洞所在？”
杨炎说道：“我去过的。我只是说我自己没有本领过去。”
冷冰儿这才听得明白，说道：“以前是段剑青这小贼带你过去的？”
杨炎说道：“不错。”
冷冰儿道：“他怎样带你过去？”
杨炎带领她沿着石岩拐了个弯，说道：“他是用荡秋千的方法，从这株树上荡过去的。到了那边，他才用长绳牵引我过去。”
原来在这面峭壁之上，有一株横空突出的千年古松，蟠根错节于岩石之间，形如苍龙樱海，丹凤朝阳，满树蟠着枝藤，随风飘拂。风过处，有几枝藤梢几乎荡到对壁。
冷冰儿道：“好，我也可以用这个方法带你过去。”
杨炎说道：“姐姐，这可不是当耍的，你要真的有把握才好。”
冷冰儿道：“你少为我担心，快搓绳子吧。”割下几条长藤，连结起来，拧成一股，试一试韧力甚佳，比普通的绳子还好。
冷冰儿道：“好，我这就过去。待会儿你把绳子用力抛过来，你抓牢一端，相信我可以把你拉过去的。”
当下冷冰儿飞身上树，握着一条随风荡漾的长藤，就像打秋千一样，身子越荡越高。她估计这株长藤若然拉得笔直，荡到最远之处，大约距离对壁不过三丈之遥，只须一个鹞子翻身，就可以在对面的峭壁脚踏实地了。
杨炎站在树下，这霎那间，心中转过了无数念头，终于脸上露出狞笑，突然拔出一把短刀。
也是冷冰儿命不该绝，在她荡到半空之际，忽地在对面的冰崖上发现了杨炎在她后面狞笑。这座冰崖是亘古不化的坚冰造成的，光滑得有如一面明镜，从山幼处横伸出来，照见了杨炎丑恶的神态。
冷冰儿虽然不知道杨炎做甚么，但她经历过段剑青几次三番将她谋害的教训，对人心的险恶早已是有所警惕的了。此时她发现杨炎的狞笑，竟是和段剑青有一次想要谋杀她的时候的神态一模一样！
她无暇细思，立即反荡回来，就在此时，只觉身子一轻，那条长藤突然断了。
幸亏她在反荡回来时已经有了准备，半空中一个鹞子翻身，觑准一株横伸出来的树枝，一抓便着。杨炎只能割断那条长藤，来不及割断那株树枝。长藤是蟠在松树树干的，这条松枝却是从石罅中横生伸出悬岩之外，他
