Chapter 9 Chapter Ninth: Forgetful Feelings, Shedding Tears, Emptying Resentments, Casting Mistakes, Inadvertently Hurting Himself

Aunt Yang's complexion darkened, and she said, "Have you forgotten our family motto?" Qi Shijie said, "My child has not forgotten." Aunt Yang said: "Read it out for me." Qi Shijie said: "Concentrate on practicing martial arts, keep yourself clean. Don't be a errand, and don't be a robber. But—" Aunt Yang said: "What else is there?" Not an ordinary robber!" Aunt Yang said: "Because they are not ordinary robbers, they should not be messed with." Qi Shijie said: "My child did not violate the family precepts." Aunt Yang said: "You still want to argue?" Qi Shijie said: "The family precepts only say 'Don't be a robber', but it doesn't say that you are not allowed to be friends with robbers. Let alone think that Leng Tie It is only the Qing court that Qiao is a bandit, and all the heroes in the world think they belong to the rebel army. And even if you regard Leng Tieqiao as a bandit, at least his niece and daughter are not yet."

Aunt Yang said: "Whether she is now or not, she is always under suspicion. No matter what, I can't let her be my daughter-in-law!" Qi Shijie said: "We haven't talked about marriage at all, and I think I'm not good enough for her. How dare I have such delusional thoughts. But can't it just be with her?" Aunt Yang said: "No!" Qi Shijie was dumbfounded, biting his lip, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.Aunt Yang said softly: "Jie'er, I am thinking about your future, there is one thing you don't know yet." Qi Shijie asked in a daze, "What's the matter?" Aunt Yang said, "It's about your uncle. He's still alive. I've met him before I came back to Xinjiang this time."

Yang Yan hid in the big tree behind the temple and eavesdropped. Hearing this, he felt his heart shake, making the leaves rustle.Fortunately, there happened to be a gust of wind, and Aunt Yang didn't notice it.Yang Yan quickly calmed down and listened carefully to what was said inside. Aunt Yang continued: "So I told you to go home with me and talk about it. The search for Yang Yan can be put on hold for a while. Do you understand what I mean?" Qi Shijie said: "Mom, you mean to tell uncle the news that he found his cousin first, and then ask him to go find him in person?"

Aunt Yang said: "That's right, as long as the father finds his son, the son must obey his father's orders. Then you won't be afraid that the little demon girl will confuse your cousin." Yang Yan couldn't help smiling wryly in his heart: "Not only did this 'little demon girl' not confuse me, she would not even give me any false words. But if my father really wants me to cut off contact with her, will I listen to my father? He asked himself and answered: "Of course I don't listen! Although in fact I look forward to being with her but I can't, but I can't be 'obedient' like my cousin." calm.Because Qi Shijie was already talking.He put his own affairs aside for the time being and listened attentively to what his cousin had to say.

Qi Shijie was delighted to hear the news of his uncle's survival.But this unexpected joy could not offset the resentment in his heart. He couldn't help asking his mother again: "Of course I'm happy that my uncle is still alive. But what does this have to do with my future? What does it have to do with Miss Leng?" Aunt Yang said: "It has a lot to do with you. Do you know what your uncle is doing now?" Qi Shijie said: "How would I know, Mom, you should tell me, what does he do?" Aunt Yang said: "He is now a guard in the palace, a person close to the emperor! But it doesn't matter if I tell you, you must not let it out, your uncle doesn't want to let people in the world know." Qi Shijie ate Surprised, he said, "Uncle has become an Ouchi guard?"

Aunt Yang said: "What's wrong with this? It's better than Leng Tieqiao being the leader of the bandits!" Qi Shijie said: "If Chivalry find out, I'm afraid even I will feel ashamed!" Aunt Yang said : "Nonsense. Who told you to think like those people!" Qi Shijie didn't seem to hear what his mother said, and was still muttering to himself: "Why is he going to be a big inner guard? Why is he going to be a big inner guard?" Aunt Yang said: "He must be a bodyguard. Meng Yuanchao forced him to do so! Meng Yuanchao robbed his wife and still refused to let him go! His martial arts are not as good as Meng Yuanchao's. What better way is there to be a bodyguard?" A way to avoid Meng Yuanchao's pursuit of revenge?"

These words made Yang Yan, who was hiding outside and eavesdropping, bewildered.He didn't know the details of the grievances and grievances between his parents back then, and it was really difficult to tell who was right and who was wrong for a while.After all, he is only an eighteen-year-old boy!It would have been better if he had been in Tianshan, but for the past seven years, he has lived alone and lived with his "grandpa".His "grandpa" is a frustrated old man, and he was originally a character between evil and good. "Goodness is not easy to understand, and reason is not easy to detect." He couldn't help being very confused.

Because he didn't know the truth, after listening to Aunt Yang's words, although he felt that it was not good for his father to be an inner guard, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to his father, and thought to himself: "Daddy was forced out by Meng Yuanchao, and I have avenged my father." , I will persuade him not to be the big inner guard at that time, I think he will listen to my advice." Thinking this way, the excitement couldn't be calmed down, his fingers trembled, and he could hardly grasp the branches firmly.Aunt Yang continued to say: "I have already made an agreement with my uncle. If he finds you and comes home, he can find you a job. Even if you can't be a big inner guard, you can always be an officer in the Imperial Forest Army." Qi Shijie His face changed color, and he said: "What, you want me to be the eagle claw of the Qing court too." Aunt Yang reprimanded: "Nonsense, what eagle claw? People who practice martial arts, apart from being a robber, have only three backgrounds: one is To be an escort, one is to set up a hall to teach apprentices, and the other is to become an officer. To be an officer is to be born in a proper way. If you don’t want to be an officer, do you want to be a robber?”

Qi Shijie said: "Mom, if you want me to be an official, isn't that because you also violated the family precepts? The family precepts said: Don't be a errand, don't be a robber!" Aunt Yang snorted, and said, "Why are you so confused, the Ouchi Guards and Imperial Forest Army officers are comparable in 'tolerance', the tolerance is like a fast catcher, and they are a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Ouchi Guards!" Qi Shijie said: "I think that since the 'family training' is not acceptable for small tolerances, of course the Ouchi guards cannot do it."

Aunt Yang said: "You are misunderstanding the 'family motto'. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask your grandfather." Qi Shijie said: "I won't go home with you tomorrow!" Aunt Yang said angrily: "You, you, you, you unfilial beast, your father died at the age of three, and I brought you up, and now at my age, I come out to look for you in person. I found you, you But don’t want me as a mother.” Qi Shijie said: "Mom, you speak too seriously, the baby is not, not..." Aunt Yang rushed to say angrily: "Okay, since you don't deny your mother, why didn't you go home with me? I arranged a bright future for you, why didn't you listen to me? If you don't listen to me, I won't Your son!"

Song Pengju said: "Auntie, don't get so angry, let me persuade my junior." Aunt Yang said: "I've already been mad at him, and I have to teach him a good lesson today..." It seems that she is " I can’t finish it.” The one who wanted to scold his son again, for some reason, suddenly stopped the scolding, looked outside, and suddenly shouted: “Whoever is hiding outside and eavesdropping, get out!” It turned out that Yang Yan couldn't help being excited, his hands firmly grasped the branches, and the leaves shook down.This time, the leaves fell without wind, so of course they couldn't hide it from Aunt Yang. Yang Yan was drunk by her suddenly, he felt a shock in his heart, and fell down the tree. As soon as the body hit the ground, the sound of the hidden weapon breaking through the air was immediately heard.Yang Yan felt the wind in the back of his head, and flicked his backhand. Although he was in a state of emotional agitation, his excellent martial arts instincts were still displayed.It was as if he had eyes on his back, the bullet hit straight, and the nail pierced through the bone flew back backwards. At this moment, something unexpected happened to Yang Yan. From another tree, a person jumped down suddenly. In the dark night, and in a hurry, Yang Yan naturally had no time to identify this person.The man had his back turned to him and was wearing a veil. The masked man jumped off the tree like an arrow, and rushed into the ruined temple. Yang Yan has only one thought at this moment, to leave this place quickly. Is it because he doesn't want to see this annoying aunt again, or is it because he wants to avoid Qi Shijie? He didn't know, maybe there were two reasons. He had thought that he would not be able to help his cousin anyway, so instead of not knowing what to say when he saw his cousin, it would be better to avoid him. But there is another bigger reason, he wants to find Leng Binger quickly. In his heart, Leng Bing'er is more of his "relative" than Qi Shijie. Knowing the misfortune that Leng Binger encountered, he could avoid Qi Shijie, but he had to give up the idea of ​​avoiding Leng Binger. "Sister Leng doesn't know how sad her heart is at this moment, who else can comfort her except me?" Yang Yan thought to himself. At this moment, he was a little thankful that someone else interrupted.Aunt Yang, mother and son must delay for a while to deal with this person, right?Then don't be afraid that they will catch up with you. He knows Qi Shijie's ability very well, and he has also witnessed his aunt's ability.The two of them, mother and son, joined forces, and unless they met Jin Zhuliu, the number one swordsman in the world, Yang Yan didn't know who else could beat them in today's world.And this masked man is certainly not Jin Zhuliu, the number one swordsman in the world. Therefore, Yang Yan is not worried about their mother and son at all. So he ran down the mountain quickly, and after running for a distance, he suddenly felt a faint itching in his fingers. Yang Yan is now Di Ran's province.He thought to himself: "I never thought that my aunt would use the poisonous hidden weapon. She didn't know who I was, so she used such a vicious hidden weapon. No wonder people call it the Avalokitesvara." Fortunately, his finger was not broken, and his blood was not poisoned. , washed his fingers in the mountain stream, practiced a little profound kung fu silently, let the zhenqi penetrate through the fingertips, but after a while, the itching was gone. Knowing that his aunt known as the "Hot Hand Guanyin" can also use hidden poison feeding weapons, he doesn't have to worry even more. Now all he worries about is not finding Leng Bing'er. Yang Yan didn't expect that the poisonous nail was not made by his aunt. It was the masked man who hit him with the hidden weapon just now.The masked man came before Yang Yan, but just as he was about to assassinate Qi Shijie, Yang Yan also came. The masked man broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, Yang Yan was not hiding in the same tree as him.This night was starless and moonless, and Yang Yan focused all his energy on eavesdropping on the conversation between Aunt Yang's mother and son, and he could have imagined that there was another master of martial arts similar to him hiding beside him. The masked man has never seen Qi Shijie's ability, although he has heard several people say that Qi Shijie's ability is very good, but those people's ability is far inferior to his, so he doesn't take Qi Shijie to heart . But he had experienced Yang Yan's martial arts before, so he couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Yang Yan.It was precisely because he was afraid of Yang Yan that he dared not do anything for a long time.But when Yang Yan's Xingzang was broken by "Poor Hand Guanyin", he had to make a move.This is not only because he doesn't know whether his Xingzang has been seen through by "Poor Hand Avalokitesvara", but also because he is afraid that Aunt Yang and Aunt Yang Yan will want to recognize him, and then he will be even more difficult to please. Of course, he also guessed that the poison-feeding hidden weapon he issued might not hurt Yang Yan, but he had another wishful thinking. While Yang Yan was still in a panic, he ran into the ruined temple first, and used lightning-fast tricks to cover his ears. Take Aunt Yang randomly as a hostage. There is another thing that Yang Yan didn't expect, something unexpected happened in the temple.Inside and outside the temple, two unexpected things happened at the same time.Just when Yang Yan found the masked man, Qi Shijie in the temple spat out a mouthful of blood. With Qi Shijie's internal skills, he wouldn't vomit blood even if he was hit on the chest with a hammer, but now he was forced by his mother, and the trauma on his heart was more painful than any pressure. How can I not spit it out. Aunt Yang was about to go out to check, when she suddenly saw her son vomit blood, she was quite shocked, she hurriedly said: "Jie'er, what's the matter with you?" Before the words were finished, the masked man had already appeared in front of the door.Before the people arrived, the hidden weapon was fired first, and two nails fed through the bones hit Aunt Yang and Qi Shijie one by one. The mother still protects her son out of instinct. Although Aunt Yang is in panic, she responds as fast as lightning. She didn't turn her head back, and just slapped her backhand. Her Vajra Liuyang Hand Kung Fu is a unique skill in martial arts, and this palm is the result of her decades of painstaking efforts, based on the Yang family's original Liuyang Hand, which was refined and developed.A palm that seems to be an understatement has infinite mysteries. I saw that the two penetrating nails seemed to be trapped in a vortex, stopped in mid-air, then turned their heads suddenly, and flew back backwards.It turned out that Aunt Yang's palm issued two kinds of force at the same time, combining hardness and softness, pulling and stimulating each other. The movements of both sides were extremely fast, and the masked man rushed in like a whirlwind, just facing the two bone-penetrating nails that turned around and flew backwards. Aunt Yang shouted: "Return the original, lie down for me!" The masked man didn't answer, didn't move, and didn't lie down. Two bone-piercing nails hit his body, and he fell to the ground without tearing his clothes.He didn't seem to notice it, and his steps didn't slow down at all. Aunt Yang originally thought that it would be strange if the bone penetrating nail bounced back under her strong palm force and made two holes in his chest, but that turned out to be the case! At this moment, the man was a little surprised, and thought to himself: "Surely the hot-handed Avalokitesvara is not in vain, I can't underestimate the enemy too much!" Aunt Yang was even more surprised, thinking: "This man's kung fu seems to be better than That little demon girl is even better, I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble this time!" She is a great connoisseur of goods, so of course she knows that the other party is using the superior internal strength of "staining clothes and eighteen falls".This kind of kung fu has been practiced to the point of perfection, whether it is a person or an object, it will be shaken away when it touches the clothes.This person can only make the bone-piercing nail fall, but cannot fly back by the counter-shock, and he is still far away from the state of perfection.But despite this, Aunt Yang is already ashamed of herself. But even though she knew she was invincible, Aunt Yang had to do her best to protect her son.It was too late to say it, but it was so fast, the man had already rushed in front of her, sneered and shouted: "Let's see who is tricky!" Amid the loud shouts, the masked man struck out with both fists and palms, like an iron ax cutting a mountain, a giant hammer chiseling a rock. Aunt Yang turned around with her steps, her horizontal palm was like a knife, and she slashed lightly.The Golden Steel Liuyang Hand was originally based on rigidity and supplemented by softness, but it seemed that she did not put much effort into this palm. "As soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one." She made such an understatement, and the masked man couldn't help but feel a shudder. It turns out that a palm that seems to be an understatement can actually hurt the eight meridians.If the masked man fights her head-on, Aunt Yang may be killed by him immediately, but if his Shaoyang meridian is injured, he may also become disabled. This masked man has not yet turned thirty, and he has a bright future ahead of him. He thinks that he has a bright future, so how could he be willing to fight desperately with Aunt Yang who is nearly sixty.Even if you beat her to death, the loss outweighs the gain if you break an arm yourself. So he shifted away quickly and said with a sneer: "Old beggar, do you want to work hard? It's a pity that with your little knowledge, I'm afraid you still have no power!" Kung fu, he attacked seventeen or eight moves in one breath.Every move is closed when it is good, and retreated after a little contact, which makes Aunt Yang unable to play a game that hurts both sides.If it weren't for Aunt Yang's unusually dense palm technique, he would have already taken advantage of it. During the fight, Aunt Yang suddenly felt that the opponent's palm had a bloody smell, she was startled, and suddenly felt dizzy. "No, it turns out that this guy is practicing Poison Palm Kungfu." He quickly secretly channeled his true energy to protect his heart.But she was not that person's opponent in the first place, so how can she still resist the enemy when she is distracted? There was a "chi" sound, and Aunt Yang's left sleeve was scratched and torn by the man, exposing her bare arm.Fortunately, she only showed her arms, if she were torn off other parts of her clothes by that person, she would feel even more ashamed in front of the junior. Aunt Yang was taken aback suddenly, her steps staggered, she was about to be knocked over by that man's palm. The man was about to step forward, when suddenly he felt a strong wind blowing, and a mighty force suddenly hit him like a turbulent undercurrent. Qi Shijie said: "Mom, you can't use a sledgehammer to cut chickens, let the boy get rid of this little thief for you!" Aunt Yang was shocked and said: "Jie'er, you can't!" She turned around quickly, only to hear "Peng" slap like thunder, and Qi Shijie and the masked man had already received the slap hard. At that moment, Aunt Yang was so frightened that she almost fainted.She can't resist the masked man herself, let alone her son?Such head-to-head confrontation, I am afraid that the son will be seriously injured if he does not die. Unexpectedly, when he took a closer look, he saw his son Yuan stopped and stood still, but the masked man took a step back.Qi Shijie's mouth still had not been wiped clean of blood, but his spirit was high, and there was a heroic spirit looming between his brows, which was completely different from the haggard and withered face just now! Mothers should protect their sons, and sons should protect their mothers.He spat out a mouthful of blood, and half of the depression in his chest disappeared. At this moment, he encountered a strong enemy, and he cheered up unconsciously.In the face of a strong enemy, any big things are naturally forgotten. Although the masked man wasn't overwhelmed by him, his shock was no small matter, he thought to himself: "My Dragon Elephant Kung Fu has already reached the eighth stage, why can't I compare to him?" At this moment, Qi Shijie couldn't help being startled, "Why does this guy know the Dragon Elephant Kung Fu, which is on par with me?" Suddenly his mind moved, and he shouted: "You, you are Duan Jianqing!" The masked man said: "So what?" He called out and immediately executed the killer.This time he didn't resort to reckless heavy tactics. With a turn around, Qi Shijie slapped the air with his palm, and his arm suddenly grew, and he caught Qi Shijie in front of him.The technique was extremely weird, the arms seemed soft and boneless, the shoulders were bent, and Qi Shijie grabbed it from an absolutely unexpected direction. He used the yoga kung fu he learned from Tianzhu and transformed it into palm techniques.I only know that Qi Shijie can't avoid this catch no matter what.Unexpectedly, the result was beyond his expectation. It turned out that although Qi Shijie had never practiced yoga kung fu, he had practiced the kung fu in Gui Huasheng's martial arts secret book.Gui Huasheng's martial arts originated from Shaolin. There is a "Dragon Claw Hand" move to restrain the Snake Fist. He saw that Duan Jianqing's arm can bend and deform, which is somewhat similar to the Snake Fist. He had no time to think about it, so he immediately used this move "Dragon Claw Hand" "Try it. In fact, Duan Jianqing's palm technique transformed from yoga kung fu is much more advanced than the snake boxing. When the practice reaches its peak, the "Dragon Claw Hand" cannot restrain it.But the opponent suddenly used martial arts that he didn't understand, just like Qi Shijie was surprised just now, he couldn't help being surprised. "Dragon Claw Hand" took down three fingers and aimed at his tiger's mouth.Duan Jianqing didn't know the subtle changes in it, and he could tell that it was a very high-quality martial art. If they performed it separately, the outcome would be unpredictable, Duan Jianqing didn't dare to take the risk. Duan Jianqing didn't dare to take any risks, his soft and boneless arms turned quickly, and changed from grasping to patting.With one palm, the hot wind whistled.Even Aunt Yang who was hiding in the corner felt uncomfortable.She couldn't help being taken aback again, and quickly shouted: "Jie'er, be careful, this is Thunder God's Palm!" Duan Jianqing sneered and said: "Old beggar, you know the goods, I will ask you to try it later..." But the word "taste" is still on his lips, he can taste the other party's taste first. Qi Shijie said: "Mother, don't worry, this little thief's Thunder God Palm has not been practiced!"Pian pointed forward and poked forward to refer to the sword, using a sword technique of stabbing points, and poked into the arc circle drawn by Duan Jianqing's palm. Duan Jianqing's Thunder God Palm is a martial art exchanged with the Ouyang Brothers. Due to his profound martial arts attainments, the Thunder God Palm he has practiced has surpassed others. Don't say that the Ouyang Brothers are not as good as him, even their ancestors Ouyang Bo and Rebirth, I am afraid Not as good as him. He was angry in his heart: "You said that I haven't practiced enough yet, I want to see how you can break me?" Before he could finish his thoughts, he suddenly felt cold, and there seemed to be a thin line in the acupuncture point touched by Qi Shijie's fingertips. An extremely cold air invaded.Duan Jianqing shuddered, this "taste" was very unpleasant, so he quickly took three steps back.His internal energy attainment is indeed no small matter, just in the instant of taking three steps back, the exercise eliminated the chill. It turned out that the move Qi Shijie used to refer to the swordsman was the glacier sword technique he learned in the ice cave.His superior internal strength was also cultivated in the ice cave, and this sword technique is even more powerful.It's a pity that he doesn't have the Ice Soul Cold Light Sword in his hand, otherwise Duan Jianqing would be defeated immediately even if he wasn't frozen to death. Qi Shijie yelled: "The sky net is well-established, sparse but not leaky, Duan Jianqing, you little thief wants to harm me again and again..." As he spoke, his figure had already rushed forward.Duan Jianqing's left palm faced outwards, and his right palm faced inwards. He counterattacked Qi Shijie with a yin and yang double bumping palm.This is the martial arts of Nalanda Temple, the Yin palm and the Yang palm are strong and the Yang palm is soft, and the two forces will form a whirlpool. Qi Shijie sneered, and followed the same move with a yin and yang double bump.The palm wind surges and the palm force counteracts.The two figures separated again in a flash.This time it was still Qi Shijie who was slightly better, he looked calm, but Duan Jianqing was already sweating from the corners of his forehead. "Who taught you this kung fu?" Duan Jianqing was shocked, suddenly remembered a person, and cried out unconsciously.While making moves, Qi Shijie continued: "Do you still remember Master Jiaxiang? You tried to harm me several times, that's all. Master Jiaxiang is your uncle, and you also use tricks to harm him, deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors. Allow!" Duan Jianqing tricked Venerable Jiaxiang into taking poison seven years ago, he only knew that this master had already died, but he hid in the ice cave under the "Devil City" and lived for another five years. Duan Jianqing recalled that Master Jiaxiang was gnashing his teeth and vowing to turn into a ghost to take revenge, and he felt his hair rise, and said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that he taught you your martial arts, and he is already dead?" Qi Shijie shouted: "That's right, he was finally killed by you. He taught me martial arts and asked me to clean up his house!" Duan Jianqing calmed down for a while, after hearing this, he couldn't help but feel joy and worry at the same time.The happy one is that his uncle is still dead after all.The worry is that Qi Shijie has acquired the true biography of Master Kaxiang, and he has added a strong enemy. Like a night walker whistling, Duan Jianqing reluctantly let out a haha, emboldened himself, and said, "So, you are still my junior brother! Uncle Jiaxiang was harmed by Han Ziyan, so I can't be completely blamed. Anyway Now that Han Ziyan and Uncle Jiaxiang are both dead, why should we fight each other..." Before the words were finished, Qi Shijie shouted angrily: "Who is your fellow disciple? Either you die today, or I die!" Amidst the loud shouts, he slapped three palms in a row. These three palms are Liuyang Hand Kungfu handed down in his family, but he used the eighth level Dragon Elephant Kung Fu.Aunt Yang, who was hiding in a corner, was both surprised and delighted. She knew that her son was deliberately using the palm technique she passed down to defeat Duan Jianqing, so as to save her face. However, although the main power comes from the Dragon Elephant Kung Fu, the function of the Six Yang Hands cannot be negated. It is the most complicated palm technique, and it complements the Dragon Elephant Kung Fu.This time Duan Jianqing wanted to avoid a reckless fight, but he couldn't dodge it, so he had no choice but to take another slap.This time the decline was even more pronounced, and it was only by retreating six or seven steps in succession that he was able to stabilize his figure. Duan Jianqing was surprised and annoyed at the same time, thinking to himself: "If I hadn't suffered from Yang Yan last month, how could Qi Shijie's Dragon Elephant Kung Fu beat me? I'm afraid I can't beat him now." It turned out that he Yang Yan was hit by a Tianshan Shenmang. Although he has been cured, his skill has not recovered by two points.But having said that, even if his martial arts are not compromised at all, at most he can only be tied with Qi Shijie. Duan Jianqing didn't know that Yang Yan had already left, and when he thought of him now, his heart shuddered again. "Could it be that Yang Yan is going to wait for me and Qi Shijie to lose both in the fight before he comes to take advantage of it and kill me?" Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help feeling even more timid and guilty. But he believed that he still had poisonous palm skills, thinking that Qi Shijie should have been poisoned after touching two palms forcefully with him, right? Just as he was hesitating, not knowing whether it would be better to run away immediately, or wait for Qi Shijie to be poisoned, and he could still follow the original plan and take him as a hostage, Qi Shijie had already fought him hard. This time, Duan Jianqing used yoga kung fu to defuse half of Qi Shijie's palm force skillfully, and only took three steps back.But from his feelings, he knew that Qi Shijie's skill had not diminished at all, and seemed to be getting stronger as he fought, which meant that Qi Shijie had no signs of being poisoned at all. Instead, he was the first to notice signs of poisoning.When he took three quick steps back, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell down. It turned out that although his Poison Palm Kung Fu practiced was powerful, it had a fatal weakness.If you encounter an opponent with higher skill than yourself, the poison in your palm may not be able to hurt the opponent but will be forced back by the opponent. Fortunately, both his Dragon Elephant Kung Fu and Qi Shijie have practiced to the eighth level. Since he suffered from Yang Yan's loss a month ago, he only got a 20% discount, and the distance between the two sides is not too big.Therefore, although poisoned, the poisonous potential is still slight.However, it has been discovered.I have signs of being poisoned, and I am afraid that Yang Yan will take advantage of him, so why dare to fight? He swayed and nearly fell.But Qi Shijie didn't know that his poisonous palm had such a weakness. Since he started the battle, he saw Duan Jianqing's strange martial arts emerging one after another, so he wondered what kind of trick he was using, and he hesitated for a while.After hesitating for a moment, Duan Jianqing stepped out of the temple gate and said: "After all, we are from the same sect, so why bother if we fight to the death?" He was afraid that Yang Yan would lie in ambush outside, so he would intercept him and rush out of the temple gate. While throwing hidden weapons randomly, he ran away quickly.After running for a distance, Yang Yan was nowhere to be seen, and he was relieved. Qi Shijie was worried about his mother and dared not chase the enemy.Looking back, I saw my mother's face was pale, like a candle in the wind, crumbling.It turned out that when she saw her son winning, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't hold on any longer. Qi Shijie was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Mom, what's the matter with you?" Aunt Yang said: "No, it's nothing, my good boy, you finally gave me a sigh of relief, our Liuyang hand..." Although there was a smile on her face, she looked paler, and her voice was intermittent, and her panting voice was louder than hers. The voice is still loud. Qi Shijie supported his mother, and said: "My child is very ashamed. Mom, the Liuyang hand you taught me could have severely injured that little thief. Unfortunately, my child ran away because of the little thief before he could practice." In fact, the word "ashamed" should have been said by Aunt Yang. Qi Shijie knew his mother's competitive temper, so he said it first.Using these words to relieve the stagnation in her heart is better than giving her a dose of tonic that can calm her mind and replenish her energy.Only in this way can the mother recover in the shortest possible time. Of course, Aunt Yang understood her son's intentions in her heart.Seeing her son being so considerate to her, she couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart. She coughed and said, "Good boy, you didn't waste my training. This, this is very rare. But, I, I, I'm afraid tomorrow I can't, I can't go home—" Qi Shijie said: "Mom, don't worry, just rest for a while. I'll take care that you can go home tomorrow." While talking, he held his mother's hand, silently practiced profound skills, and injected his own true energy into his mother's body. Aunt Yang only felt a rush of hot air flowing upstream along the Shaoyang meridian in her hand, and it flowed all over her body in an instant, just like Zhu Bajie had eaten ginseng fruit, none of the 84,000 pores felt uncomfortable.Her own skill is not weak in the first place, this time she was not directly hit by Duan Jianqing's poisonous palm, but just sucked in some poisonous gas, the depression in her heart disappeared, and with the help of external force, it didn't take long for her true energy to condense When he woke up, all the eight meridians were unobstructed, and the little bit of poison had evaporated into sweat.She is a great expert in martial arts, knowing that her son's pushing the blood through the palace like this will consume the most energy, and she wants to order her son to stop, but under the impact of Qi Shijie's profound energy on the acupoints, she can't even speak.After a lot of difficulty, she was able to pull out her palm and said, "That's enough, that's enough, Jie'er, you, what do you think?" At this time, her face had returned to ruddy, and it was Qi Shijie who turned pale.She thought that her son had just gone through a fierce fight, and his true energy was wasted because of her, and his son had vomited a mouthful of blood before the fierce fight, how could she not worry about her son? Qi Shijie said: "It's not in the way." After saying these four words, he sat cross-legged quietly, and sure enough, his complexion returned to rosy after a while.He stood up and said, "Mom, we can go home together tomorrow." Aunt Yang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You, are you willing to go home with me?" Qi Shijie said: "Mom, you ran away so much How could I not take you home?" Aunt Yang was overjoyed, she held her son in her arms and said, "Jie'er, you are still my good son after all. Okay, okay, if you want to go home, then All right, that's all right!" Qi Shijie said softly: "Mom, but I ask you one thing." Aunt Yang's heart was shocked, and she said, "What do you want?" Qi Shijie said: "Mom, I beg you not to force me to work with my uncle." What Aunt Yang was most afraid of was that her son would marry Leng Bing'er. The son had just saved her life, and he had given her face and maintained her as a mother. If the son makes this request, she will not know what to do.Now Qi Shijie only asks not to do things with his uncle. Although this is against her will, it is better than asking her to promise her son to marry a niece who was imprisoned by the court.Aunt Yang sighed: "I was thinking about your future, but since you don't want to, Mom won't force you." It turned out that Qi Shijie didn't want to ask his mother to cancel the ban on him and Leng Bing'er, but he was afraid of his mother's stubborn temper. If he made such a request, his mother might think that he was threatening him, and it would be bad to say that he was stiff , so I have to think about it next. Yes, he also made up his mind not to go home with his mother.If Duan Jianqing hadn't hurt his mother, his determination would not have changed.But now that this accident has happened, it is natural for a son to protect his mother, so he has to escort her home.Otherwise, what if my mother ran into Duan Jianqing on the road again?But his body can go home with his mother, but his heart is still on Leng Binger. It was already dawn, and he walked out of the ruined temple with his mother, but he felt at a loss in his heart, thinking over and over again: "Miss Leng, I don't know where she is at this moment? I don't know if she is resenting me or missing me at this moment? " Leng Bing'er didn't hold any resentment or longing for him, but the pain in her heart was beyond Qi Shijie's comprehension. Leng Bing'er ran out of the ruined temple, her heart seemed to be numb, her head became empty, and she just ran around in a daze without knowing what to do.I don't feel anything. This strange feeling was not the first time for her.Eight years ago, when she was pushed into the frozen lake by Duan Jianqing and was rescued by someone, she also felt this way, so that she couldn't answer when people asked her name.But this time the pain seemed to be deeper than last time.Last time, the first buds were destroyed by wind and rain. This time, the withered trees have sprouted again, but they were cut down again by knives and axes. She didn't know how many miles she ran in one breath, and when she turned her head, she couldn't see the ruined temple. It was as if she had just woken up from a nightmare. She was leaning on a big rock, her heart was numb, and her body was also tingling. Ma, I can't move. A gust of mountain wind blew by, and she regained consciousness. Dongfang was already pale, but the daughter's heart, which had regained consciousness, was covered in a haze. She didn't resent Qi Shijie, nor did she miss him strongly.Even though he suffered the same mental trauma, Qi Shijie was different from Duan Jianqing after all. No matter what, Duan Jianqing was always her first lover, and she had indeed loved Duan Jianqing deeply.She once forgave him for many mistakes, until Duan Jianqing committed an unforgivable crime and wanted to murder her, her girlish fantasy was shattered, and her hatred for Duan Jianqing was even more intense than that for Duan Jianqing in the past. His strong love was gone. No matter what the nature of love and hate is, for a young girl, if she has never had strong love, I am afraid that she will not have strong hatred. Yes, she had a crush on Qi Shijie, and even hoped that their relationship would develop further.But after all, there has never been a strong love. Don't say that Qi Shijie is not at fault this time. Even if Qi Shijie should be responsible, she will not hate him.Perhaps her affection for Qi Shijie also has an element of "love", but it has just sprouted, and it is not yet a deep love. What hurts her is the successive misfortunes, the girl's dignity being trampled upon, and the strange loneliness she feels. When she encounters misfortune, no one can comfort her relatives. A merciless blow... At this moment, she may not need love but needs sympathy, may not need a lover, but needs a bosom friend. As the mountain wind blows, Leng Bing'er feels at a loss, as if she is "lost" herself. 段剑青的影子已经模糊，齐世杰的影子也只是像春风轻轻掠过，过去了就过去了，心湖不过微泛涟漪。 “若到江南赶上春，千万和春住。”她并没有这样强烈的感情，是以纵然已经感觉到了“春风”的一丝暖意，她也没有动过念头要赶上春天。 迷茫中另一个人的影子在她心头浮起。 一个人在最伤心的时候往往会想起最好的朋友，许多话不能向父母泣诉的都可以向知己倾吐。此际的冷冰儿就是如此。 此际，引起她强烈思念的人，不是段剑青，也不是齐世杰，而是孟华。All the past events are on my mind.七年前的一幕重新在她的忘记中出现。 她被害不死，在哈萨克的刁羊大会中又碰上段剑青，段剑青引她追上雪山，她险些又遭段剑青的毒手。 像是天上掉下的救星，孟华忽然在她最危急的时候出现。不仅救了她的肉体，也医治了她心灵的创伤。 当然，由于这个创伤太深，伤口直到现在还未愈合。但最少是不会流血不止了。 要是没有孟华这份友谊，鼓舞她求生的意志，她真不知道是否能够活到如今？ “孟大哥和我分手之时，说过要一定再找寻弟弟的，如今却还未见他来。是他已经来过我没碰上他呢？还是紫达木那边有更紧要的事情留着他，五年的时间里面他都无暇抽身，根本就没有来过呢？他和碧漪姐姐想必亦早已成亲了吧？可惜他这杯喜酒我是喝不到了。”冷冰儿心想。她并没妒忌金碧漪，她只是为金碧漪祝福。 此际，又是她心灵上受到创伤的时候了，她是多么希望再见到孟华啊，即使孟华是和金碧漪一起同来——想至此处，她不觉心头跳了一下：“我为什么这样想呢？难道我不也盼望见到金姐姐吗？不，我其实是更盼望见到他们一起来的。” 但她知道世上不会有接二连三的“巧遇”，上一次她心灵受创的时候，有孟华安慰她，这一次是不可能再盼到孟华了。 孟华的影子变成了另一个人…… 这个人曾经与她朝夕相共，但此际在她心中的影子却甚为模糊。不过这个“模糊”的感觉却不同于她对段剑青的那个“模糊”感觉。对段剑青她是要尽力忘掉他，是要把他的影子抑制下去造成的“模糊”；而对这个人她则是无时不在想念他的。她之所以感到“模糊”，是因为她只知道他童年时候的模样，不知现在的他是什么模样。 她想起的这个人是孟华的异父弟杨炎。 “炎弟今年十八岁了，不知道是否长得像他哥哥？”在她心中这个“模糊”的影子，就正是混合了童年时代的杨炎，和少年时代的孟华的影子。这次她本来是和齐世杰来找寻杨炎的，谁知找不到杨炎，却反而“失去”了齐世杰。此时她已经稍微清醒过来，想起了此行的目的。不由得心中苦笑了。 “那个小妖女不知又是谁呢？听齐世杰母亲的口气，似乎她和炎弟是很要好的朋友？” 想起了杨大姑对那“小妖女”的指责，她不觉有几分欢喜，又有几分伤感：“真想不到杨炎这小孩子也有了女朋友了。啊，他已经不是流鼻涕小孩子，他是十八岁的少年啦。”杨炎在她心目中一直是个小孩子，此际她方始“发觉”他已经长大了。 她想起了罗曼娜告诉她的事：“杨大姑口中的小妖女，想必就是曼娜姐姐碰上的那个行径古怪的少女吧？那次她也是和炎弟同时出现的，看来他们的交情倒似乎是当真不错。这个小妖女能够令到辣手观音暴跳如雷，也真是个不寻常的女子！炎弟该不会也像齐世杰那样，一切要听他姑母的话吧。要是见到了炎弟，我倒要好好的问一问他，是否真的喜欢那个'小妖女'？要是真的话，我一定要鼓励他的。” 正当她胡思乱想的时候，忽地看见一条人影疾奔而来。 “是炎弟吗？我是你的——”冷冰儿本来猜想杨炎还在此山，此际突然发现这个影子，轻功是如此超卓，而又一眼看得出不是齐世杰，她就不觉以为是杨炎了。 那知话犹未了，只听得那人已是哈哈一笑，说道：“我知道你是我的冰儿。怎么，难道你就不认得我了？” 这人不是杨炎，是段剑青。 声到人到。段剑青业已出现在她的面前。 冷冰儿气得发抖，喝道：“你，你还有脸见我？” 段剑青却是嘻皮笑脸的说道：“冰儿，我已经知道你和齐世杰的事情了。你莫伤心，齐世杰不要你还有我段剑青要你。” 怒火如焚，麻木的双腿恢复了活力，冷冰儿立即跃了起来，把手一扬，喝道：“我要你死！” 段剑青一掌劈出，用的是雷神掌的功夫。七年前他的功力不及冷冰儿，此际则已是比冷冰儿深厚得多，而雷神掌又正是可以克制冰魄神弹的奇寒之气的。一掌劈出，热风呼呼，冷冰儿打出的两颗冰魄神弹在热风激荡之中化成灰蒙蒙的雾气。 段剑青笑道：“冰儿，你何苦如此生气？不错，我是曾对不住你，但杀人不过头点地，如今我是特地向你赔罪来了。” 冷冰儿唰地拨出冰魄寒光剑，喝道：“给我滚开！否则，你若是敢再踏上一步，我，我……” 段剑青笑道：“你要怎样？也许你尚未知道，连齐世杰都不是我的对手呢。你要杀我，那是决计不能的。我虽然对你不起，但过去咱们也曾有过海誓山盟，如今我又特地来向你赔罪，难道你不能重念往日之情？”他口中说话，不仅是踏上一步，而且是踏上三步了。 冷冰儿一剑向他刺出。 虽然段剑青早有准备，但冰川剑法奇幻之极，这一剑竟是从他意料不到的方位刺来。嗤的一声轻响，饶是段剑青躲闪得快，左肩已被剑尖碰着。衣裳穿了一个小孔。 冰魄寒光剑乃是天下最奇怪的宝剑。别的宝剑，讲究的是剑的锋利，只有冰魄寒光剑例外，它是凭藉奇寒之气伤人经脉。要不是冷冰儿力透剑尖，连他的衣裳都不能刺穿的。如今虽然刺穿了他的衣裳，他的皮肉仍是无损。 但冰魄寒光剑的威力却远胜于冰魄神弹，它是玄冰洞里的万年寒玉炼成的，被剑尖碰着皮肉，登时有一股奇寒的阴煞之气透过段剑青的穴道。 段剑青练过的天竺武功，有一门是可以颠倒穴道的。立即把这股寒气转移到身体的其他部分，然后再运内功把它逼出来。 但饶是如此，段剑青已是不由得机伶怜的打了个冷颤。 说时迟，那时快，冷冰儿又是连环三招。段剑青心难二用，给她攻得手忙脚乱。不过他已经知道了冰魄寒光剑的厉害，不再轻敌冒进，冷冰儿想要再刺着他一剑，却也不容易了。 段剑青运功三转，身体恢复暖和，便即笑道：“冰儿，原来唐夫人已把冰魄寒光剑传给了你，冰川剑法你也练成功了，真是恭喜你啦！不过纵然如此，你还是胜不了我的。不如咱们重拾旧欢，结为鸳侣。你有天下第一主剑，我有天下第一武功，咱们夫妻联手，那岂不是更可以天下无敌！” 冷冰儿气得玉容苍白，喝道：“放你的屁，今日不是你死，便是我亡！”段剑青正是要激她动怒，一声笑道：“那又何必！”蓦地使出瑜伽功夫，伸臂一抓，突然就抓到了她肘尖的“曲池”。 冷冰儿虽然狂挥宝剑，但对方这一抓乃是快如闪电的乘虚而入，她已是无法遮拦。冷冰儿不觉心头一凉，只道要糟。那知竟是出乎她的意料之外，眼看就要给他抓住，段剑青忽地又闪电般的把手缩了回去。 原来还是冰魄寒光剑的特殊性能救了她。 在她狂挥之下，冰魄寒光剑的威力已是发挥得淋漓尽致。冰魄寒光剑的厉害之处，是不用刺着对方，那股奇寒之气就可以伤人经脉的。以段剑青的功力在距离三丈之处可以禁受得起，在距离八尺之内则已是不觉在发抖了。如今他是欺身直进。和冰魄寒光剑的距离不过数寸，他使用大擒拿手法，手掌又是张开的，掌心的劳宫穴一个疏神，就被寒气侵入。奇寒彻骨，这霎那间，他掌心的血液都好像几乎要凝结了。 劳宫穴倘若受伤，真气就会涣散，段剑青如何敢冒此险？ 也幸亏他的武学造诣已经练到收发自如的境界，来得快，退得也快。他一缩掌抽身，迅即就跃出三丈之外。依然采取绕身游斗的战术困住冷冰儿。 冷冰儿险些吃了大亏，也连忙镇慑心神，忍住怒气，冷静对付。她以变化莫测的冷川剑法带守带攻，虽然难以脱困，段剑青却也无法攻入她的剑光圈内。但段剑青在把寒气再次逼出之后，蓦地又得了个主意。 得不到的东西往往是最好的东西。当年冷冰儿对他千依百顺，他都不满足，为了一己的私利，竟然不惜对她抛弃，如今冷冰儿对他冷若冰霜，甚至要和他拼个你死我活的时候，他反而是开始感到后悔，非要把她得到手不可了。 当然他的后悔并不是“悟今是而昨非”的那种后悔，而是后悔走错了一步棋。是患得患失的那种“后悔”。 他在冰魄寒光的笼罩之下，越发觉得冷冰儿有一种异乎寻常的“冷艳”的美，“她的美其实并不逊于罗曼娜，早知罗曼娜是烫口的馒头，当年我是应该对她稍留余地的。如今想要她再像从前那样死心塌地的跟我，恐怕是难之又难了。”想至此处，不觉又在暗暗后悔从前的“傻”，和这样的一个世间罕有的美人儿一起，竟然没有想到要“占有”她。 蓦地他想到一个歹毒的主意：“我也真是胡涂了，怎的忘记了韩紫烟留下的那种奇妙的挑情药粉。我要是用武力制伏了她，得到了手也没有味儿。我要她心甘情愿的依从我！待到生米煮成熟饭，那时何愁她不乖乖的跟着我走。” 冷冰儿见他眼神不定，也不怎样放在心上，心里只是在想：“不管你打什么鬼主意，我拼着豁了这条性命，就决不会上你的当。”唉，她那知道段剑青这种卑鄙阴毒的手段不是拼命就能抵挡的。 这霎那间，她一口气放出三招七式，冷电精芒，追逐敌手。但段剑青滴溜溜一个转身，却已把一撮药粉藏在指甲缝里。 段剑青笑道：“冰儿，你可不可以少想我的坏处，多想一点我往日对你的好处。” 冷冰儿柳眉倒竖，喝道：“我要你死！” 段剑青笑道：“很好，要死咱们一同死。欲仙欲死的滋味你没尝过吧？那真是美妙得很啊！” 冷冰儿大怒喝道：“无耻东西，看剑！”就在此时，段剑青蓦地转身，对准了她，伸指一弹。 粉红色的烟雾在她面前飞起，冷冰儿大吃一惊，急忙一掌劈出，但段剑青亦在同时发出劈空掌力，粉红色的烟雾虽然在掌风激荡之下消散，药粉却已洒在她的面上，身上，她闭了呼吸，亦难遮拦那一缕缕透进她鼻孔的幽香。 冷冰儿又惊又怒，斜窜三步，喝道：“你毒死我，我做鬼也不饶你！”转过来，挥剑狂攻，竟是同归于尽的打法。 她只道段剑青是用杀人不见血的剧毒药物害她，她要趁着还有一口气的时候，与段剑青拼个同归于尽！最不济也可以在将要毒发的时候，自断经脉而亡。 段剑青笑吟吟的道：“我怎舍得毒死你呢，冰儿，我只盼你回心转意，咱们可以白首同偕！” 冷冰儿咬牙狠斗，但说也奇怪，斗了一会，她忽地有点懒洋洋的感觉，面前虽然是冰天雪地，她却好似置身于杂花生树群莺乱飞的江南，在春风吹拂之下，浑身说不出的舒服。春意上眉头，心头那股强烈的憎恨也是越来越减，似乎杀不杀段剑青也是无可无不可的了。 段剑青仍然采取绕身游斗的打法，脸上那邪恶的笑容也是越来越显。“冰儿、冰儿，你还记得咱们在西湖泛舟，苏堤踏月，孤山探梅的往事吗？几时咱们再同游江南，啊，还有我的家乡大理你还未到过，大理有上关风、下关花、苍山雪、洱海月。风花雪月，几时我与你一同消受？” 柔情蜜意，软语温存，冷冰儿迷迷糊糊的好像时光倒流，面前的段剑青又好像是七年前的那个风流俊俏、令她禁不住情丝暗击的少年了。 她手中的冰魄寒光剑虽然还在不断刺出，但已是越来越慢，越来越不成章法了。 段剑青嘻皮笑脸的踏上一步，又踏上一步……伸出手轻轻向她抓下去了。“冰儿，跟我走吧。咱们去同游江南，同游大理，从今后，咱们永远在一起，再不分离。在天同为——” 他只道冷冰儿已经迷失理智，不料“比翼鸟”三个字尚未曾吐出唇边，冷冰儿突然又是反手一剑！ 不错，冷冰儿是业已被药力迷幻，但仇太重，恨太深，积压在心中的憎恨情绪已是凝结得如同实质，和她的生命纠结在一起了。这种强烈的憎恨不是药力所能完全消灭的。 在这千钧一发之时，她突然恢复了几分清醒。但可惜虽然恢复清醒，剑招却是软绵绵的发不出力道。“铮”的一声，冷冰儿的冰魄寒光剑给他弹得飞出手去。此时冷冰儿想要运功自断经脉亦是力所不能了。 幸亏段剑青不懂得掌握冰魄寒光剑的功夫，虽然由于剑招无力伤不了他，但那股奇寒触体，就已令他不禁陡然一震。 冰魄寒光剑落在地上，冷冰儿身子摇摇欲坠。段剑青再无顾忌了。“冰儿，你命中注定要做我的妻子的，你认命了吧！” 一退复进，眼看他的手指就要抓着冷冰儿了，忽地听得一声大喝：“谁敢欺侮我的冷姐姐！”大喝声中，劲风飒然，袭到段剑青背后。 这次来的可是真的杨炎了。 他人还未到，一枝天山神芒先射到来。 段剑青领教过天山神芒的厉害，如何还顾得及去抓冷冰儿？百忙中只好飞身斜闪。“咔唰”一声，天山神芒射入石中。杨炎却已出现在他面前。 杨炎大怒喝道：“原来又是你这个臭贼，我正要找你算账！” 段剑青叫道：“喂，杨炎，你听我说，你不是要为生身之父洗脱耻辱吗？我可以帮你，帮你——” 杨炎最不愿意听别人提及他的“家丑”，这一下更加怒不可遏，扑上前去，就是一掌。 段剑青正是要激他动怒，才好以逸待劳。哈哈一笑，说道：“好，你不要我帮你我就杀你！”一个阴阳双撞掌接招，使上了第八重的龙象功。 哪知杨炎虽然动怒，却是毫不心粗气浮。那次他与段剑青打成两败俱伤之后，早已想好了怎样对付他的招数的，他这一掌先发后至，待得段剑青气力用老，他方始轻轻一撄，避其朝锐，击其暮归。 两人功力本来大致相当，但段剑青吃亏的是，昨晚他和齐世杰硬拼龙象功所耗的真力未曾恢复，又被冰魄寒光剑削弱了他的几分功力。即使杨炎未曾想出破他龙象功之法，他亦已不是杨炎的对手了。 双掌相交，无声无息。段剑青的身子却已飞了起来！ 段剑青的武功也真个了得，身形刚一着地，一个鲤鱼打挺便翻起来，慌忙逃走，居然还是步履如飞。 本来已经摇摇欲坠的冰冷儿，此时再也支持不住了。恍如花枝乱颤，“嘤”的一声，就倒了下去。 杨炎当然是顾不得去追段剑青了。 “冰姐，冰姐！”他失声惊呼，飞快的跑过去扶冷冰儿。 段剑青一走，冷冰儿的恐惧已经消失，那股强烈的憎恨也好像随着段剑青走了。 但段剑青留在她身上的药力可还没有消失。恐惧和憎恨一去，药力又再发作。 杨炎已经长得比她高半个头，一双强有力的手臂抱着她，令她感到无比的舒服。懒洋洋的好似躺在“春风”怀里，神智忽地一阵模糊。 眼前的杨炎幻化成另一个人。 “华哥，华哥……”冷冰儿语细如丝，喃喃说道。像七年前的一幕又重演了。 杨炎听不清楚她说什么，他只知道冷冰儿叫的不是他的名字，他怔了一怔，叫道：“冰姐，你怎么啦。我是你的炎弟，我是你的炎弟呀！” 冷冰儿如梦初醒的张开了眼睛，方始又惊又喜的说道：“你当真是炎弟吗？” 杨炎把冷冰儿扶稳，让她坐在地上，他捋起了衣袖，说道：“冰姐，你还认得这颗红痣吗？” 此时冷冰儿已经恢复几分清醒，她用不着去验杨炎这颗症，已经知道面前这个少年确实是杨炎无疑。 虽然是同母异父，但杨炎可长得真是像他的哥哥孟华。 冷冰儿心里那个模糊的影子如今已是变成了有血有肉的真实的人，出现在她的面前了。真实的杨炎和她想像中的杨炎竟是相差不了多少。 “啊，炎弟，真的是你！也真想不到是你救了我的性命！这真是太好了，太好了！你人长大了，武功也大进了！”冷冰儿激动得流出眼泪，他们的手也不知不党的又握在一起了。 “冷姐姐，你没受伤吧？”杨炎问道。他已经觉察到冷冰儿神色有异，不觉有点担忧。 “我没受伤。”冷冰儿忽地想起一事，不觉问道：“炎弟，你到过那座破庙没有？” 破庙里留下她耻辱的记忆，她本来要忘掉这个地方，更不愿意提起杨大姑和齐世杰的。但为了杨炎，她不能不和他说。 因为，不论“辣手观音”怎么可恶，她总是杨炎的嫡系姑母。而且她是冒了许多危险，万里迢迢的跑来找寻杨炎的。 她想起杨大姑对那“小叫化”的猜疑，但眼前的杨炎却已不是叫化子装扮。那个小叫化是不是杨炎呢？杨炎对自己的身世又已经知道了多少呢？ 许多事情她未知道，但她知道杨炎已经长大了，不是她心目中那个孩子了。 “炎弟已经十八岁了，他是有权知道自己的身世了。”她不愿提起和自己有关的事情，但觉得对杨炎的事情——他的身世之隐，她是不该再对他隐瞒下去了。 杨炎呆了一呆，说道：“到过了。而且不只一次。我是刚刚从那破庙来的。冰姐，我已知道，知道了……你，你不用再告诉我了。” 他以为冷冰儿要说的是她自己的伤心事，对她的事情，他是无言可以安慰她的，他不愿意挑起她的创伤。 冷冰儿正处不知如何向他开口才好，听了这话，不觉如释重负，说道：“原来那小叫化果然是你。”她以为杨炎已经知道了自己的身世，却不知道杨炎是知道了一些，可不知道另一些。 “不错，是我！”杨炎咬着嘴唇说道。 “那么，你知道她，她是你的姑母了？炎弟，她是你唯一的亲人，那你为什么，为什么——” 她正要问杨炎为什么不肯认亲，想要好言劝他，杨炎却已说道：“不，不，冰姐，你才是我唯一的亲人。我不怪你以前骗我，真的，我不骗你！我曾埋怨过你，但如今我已知道，你是为了我的好！我不要这些'亲人'，冰姐，我只要你！” 杨炎本来是个容易激动的人，此时是更加不能抑制心头的积郁了。他说的“这些亲人”是包括他的生身之父在内的。不过冷冰儿当然是不知道的。
