Chapter 12 The Twelfth Chapter
It has been more than a month since Qi Shijie returned home, and the season is already spring.
Returning from the frozen northern country to the prosperous homeland, from the unaccompanied foreign land to the side of a loving mother, it is supposed to have warm feelings, but unfortunately for Qi Shijie, it is just the opposite.Although the spring is bright in front of him, there is still a haze in his heart.Even though he was in his own home, the chill in his heart seemed to be stronger than when he was trapped in the ice cave alone.
It seemed that what came home was just his body. For more than a month, he was still depressed.
Of course, Aunt Yang knew what was on her son's mind, and she tried every means to hope that her son would recover and enjoy the family happiness again.She used to ask her relatives and friends to talk about her son's marriage. Qi Shijie perfunctory her once or twice at first, but then he refused to go at all.And those one or two times he also deliberately pretended to be demented, but the result was that they broke up badly.
As the saying goes: "Heart disease requires heart medicine." Since her son's "heart disease" was caused by her, how can she find "heart medicine" for her son?
What made Qi Shijie a little relieved was that his mother kept her promise and didn't force him to work with his uncle Yang Mu.
He knew that his uncle had become a bodyguard in Ouchi, but his identity had not been made public.Except for his closest relatives and disciples, no one else knew whether he was still alive or not.More than a month after he came back, Yang Mu has not returned to his hometown.
There seems to be a tacit agreement between mother and child.Aunt Yang didn't force her son to do what he didn't want to do, and Qi Shijie didn't mention Leng Bing'er's name anymore.But of course the mother knew that her son's heart was still with Leng Bing'er, and he didn't follow her home.
What can I do to make my son happy?She could only try to encourage her son to socialize with the friends of his companions.
Qi Shijie doesn't have many friends in his hometown. When he was young, he often spent time with only six of Yang Mu's apprentices.
Yang Mu's eldest disciple, Min Chenglong, is now an officer of the Imperial Forest Army, serving in Beijing.
The third disciple, Fang Liang, and the fourth disciple, Fan Kui, left home a few years ago, and they don't know where they went.Some people say that they have joined the rebel army, but no one knows whether it is true or not.
Due to their close age, Qi Shijie's best friends in childhood were Yang Mu's fifth disciple, Song Pengju, and his youngest disciple, Hu Liankui.
Song and Hu went to Huijiang to look for him again this time, and came back with him.Friendship is better than the old days.But it's a pity that they want to return to Beijing's Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency to work as bodyguards, so they have to break up with Qi Shijie.
Among Yang Mu's six disciples, there is only one second disciple, Yue Hao, in Baoding.He is more than ten years older than Qi Shijie, and he is forty-two years old this year.He is a great gentleman in Baoding, with thousands of hectares of fertile land and a wealth of wealth. After he graduated from the teacher, he lived happily at home.
Yue Hao is the best at currying favor with Aunt Yang, and during Chinese New Year and festivals, a generous gift is always indispensable.I often come to say hello when I have nothing to do.Among the younger brother's six disciples, Aunt Yang liked him the most.
Qi Shijie neither dislikes nor likes Yue Hao.Because when he was a child, Yue Hao often gave him some gadgets to play with, which is relatively close.So after returning this time, they also visited each other several times.
On this day, Yue Hao sent his servants to invite their mother and son to a banquet.The name is to invite them to enjoy the flowers, which means that only a few close relatives and friends are invited, and there are no "ordinary people".That's because he knew that Qi Shijie was afraid of having boring entertainment.
Yue's family has a big garden, and they invited several master flower kings from the south to manage it, and transplanted exotic flowers from all over the place, and when spring came, it was full of beautiful flowers.Yuejia Garden is one of the most famous gardens in Baoding.
Qi Shijie didn't want to go at first, but Aunt Yang said: "Anyway, you are bored at home, so go and see the flowers with me. He has already said that there are no vulgar customers, so you don't need to socialize." He said: "Even though Brother Yue is not a refined person, drinking wine and enjoying flowers is considered an elegant thing." At the same time, he also felt that he had been too indifferent to his mother in the past few months, so he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, so he agreed to accompany his mother.
Yue Hao seemed to have received a treasure, and invited Aunt Yang, mother and son into the garden.I saw that the banquet had been set up, and two people were waiting there.
They were a father and daughter, and when they saw Aunt Yang, mother and son coming, they hurried forward to greet them.
Aunt Yang seemed to be quite familiar with that man, after exchanging pleasantries, she smiled and said, "Master Luo, I haven't seen Qianyuan for a few years, but Qianyuan is getting more and more beautiful, is there a husband's family?"
Yue Hao was busy introducing Qi Shijie: "Brother Jie, do you remember my cousin? You met each other when you were young."
It turned out that Martial Master Luo was Yue Hao's uncle, named Luo Yufeng, one of the best martial arts masters in Baoding, and was as famous as Yang Mu in the past.
This woman's name is Luo Bixia, she is Luo Yufeng's only daughter, she is two years younger than Qi Shijie, and she will be twenty-five this year.Qi Shijie met her three or two times at Yue's house when he was a child, and he didn't have any impressions, but he only remembered that she seemed very proud, liked to talk, and liked to order others around. He didn't like playing with her when he was a child.
I saw her heavily smeared with makeup, smeared red lips, squinting sideways, wiped her mouth and said with a smile: "We country girls, brother Shijie can take it to heart, I'm afraid you have already forgotten it?" For the sake of my mother, I had no choice but to be a little polite and said: "Remember, I remember, I haven't seen you for many years, hello Miss Luo!"
Luo Yufeng replied to Aunt Yang on the other side: "Oh, I'm not afraid that Auntie will laugh at you, but my daughter doesn't have a husband's family yet!"
Qi Shijie thought to himself: "You dress up like a monster, you deserve to have no in-laws!" In fact, although Luo Bixia's dress is a bit "vulgar", it is still somewhat pretty.Just because Qi Shijie felt that this time it might be another "blind date" in disguise, and he was in a bad mood, so he didn't like Luo Bixia even more.
Yue Hao quickly interrupted to explain for his cousin: "Auntie, you don't know that my cousin has too high a vision, so many people ask her for marriage, but she refuses to agree. However, it's no wonder that she is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. Martial arts is the origin of family learning, and papers are capable of everything from piano, chess, poetry and painting, if you say that there is no comparable family, how can she take it up?"
Luo Yufeng said: "Nephew, you praise her too much. Fortunately, Aunt Yang is not an outsider, otherwise she wouldn't be a joke."
Aunt Yang smiled and said: "Miss Luo is versatile in both civil and military affairs, I already knew it. What's more rare is that she has a good character and has such good martial arts, but she never goes out to show off. It's not like some Jianghu girls who know how to handle knives and sticks." , just call yourself a heroine, no matter what stinking men are black and white, big girls dare to fool around with them!" These few words alluded to Leng Bing'er, why couldn't Qi Shijie hear it?
Luo Yufeng hurriedly said: "It's true, literary talent and martial arts are second, character is the most important, so I taught my little girl to know the three obediences and four virtues since she was a child, she must be like a lady of a big family, and not have the habits of a quack girl."
Aunt Yang smiled and said, "I wonder who will be so lucky in the future? I want to be a matchmaker for Qianyuan, but I'm afraid I won't be able to match her."
Luo Bixia acted coquettishly: "Aunt Yang, you are making fun of me, I don't agree. I don't want to marry. But, cousin, you make me look very proud, that really makes me too embarrassed. Yes Big brother Qi is here, how can I be a four-character all-rounder in civil and military affairs." Yue Hao and Aunt Yang looked at each other and smiled, and were about to talk.Unexpectedly, Qi Shijie spoke first.
Qi Shijie said indifferently: "I don't know a lot of Chinese characters, and the martial arts I know are only a few three-legged cat stances. When you talk about literature and martial arts, don't involve me. The weather today, hahaha, is not bad, Master Yue Brother, the flowers in your garden are blooming beautifully."
Luo Bixia was stunned, but Qi Shijie ignored her and thought he was gone.
Feng laughed and said: "Master Qi really knows how to joke. But Master Qi is also right. Such a good weather is the most suitable for viewing flowers. It seems vulgar to talk about literature and martial arts." Yue Hao continued: " Yes, yes. I originally invited my younger brother to enjoy the flowers, but it’s rare that my younger brother is so interested, so let’s enjoy the flowers first and then drink."
Luo Yufeng had the cheek to accompany Qi Shijie to enjoy the flowers, but Luo Bixia was embarrassed to go over.Aunt Yang took her hand and said with a smile: "My child can't talk, Miss Luo, don't take offense. Let's all go to see flowers."
In order to save the embarrassing situation, Yue Hao pointedly introduced the famous flowers in his garden to Qi Shijie: "This is a camellia imported from Dali, Yunnan. Most people only know that the camellia in Kunming is the best, but Dali is actually better. You Look at this 'big agate', this 'green scale capsule'. 'Big agate' and 'green scale capsule' are the names of camellias. Great." Although Qi Shijie was unhappy, he couldn't help praising him.
Yue Hao became more and more happy, and said again: "This primrose was also moved from Dali, and there are also primroses elsewhere, but it is very rare to have this kind of pink petals wrapped with golden stamens. Except for Dali, only Kunming has it." Yes. Ah, and this kind of black peony is even rarer, it was transplanted from Luoyang, and it was only cultivated successfully this year."
Qi Shijie thought to himself: "Brother Yue moved these many famous flowers from all over the world, and I don't know how much manpower and money was wasted. A successful cultivation of a black peony is probably more than half a year's food for the poor."
A child about fourteen or fifteen years old came bouncing around and entangled Luo Yufeng and said, "Grandpa Luo, you said you taught me how to play iron gallbladder, did you bring your iron gallbladder?" This kid is Yue Hao His son, named Yue Hong, had been favored by his parents since he was a child, so he was quite a young master, but he and Qi Shijie got along quite well.Although Qi Shijie sometimes hates his naughtiness, he also likes his innocence and liveliness.
Luo Yufeng said: "I brought it with me, but today I have a guest, I will teach you in two days." Yue Hong said: "Who is the guest? Granny Yang, you always said that you regarded me as a little grandson, you and Qi Uncle can't be regarded as a guest, can he?"
Aunt Yang smiled and said, "Your Uncle Qi and I are certainly not guests."
Luo Yufeng said: "Uncle Qi wants to enjoy the flowers, don't interrupt his pleasure."
Qi Shijie had no choice but to say: "It's okay, I also want to see Uncle Luo's iron courage." Aunt Yang was also quite embarrassed because her son was "disrespectful" just now, so she took this opportunity to praise Luo Yufeng and said: "The Luo family's iron courage Kung Fu is the best in martial arts, Jieer, you should ask Luo Shibo for advice."
Luo Yufeng smiled and said: "Don't dare, dare not. Who doesn't know that Qi and Yang's family is a family of martial arts, and Shijie's nephew is also the head of the two families. I just want to show this stuff, just because I am afraid that the class will get an axe!"
Qi Shijie couldn't help but give Luo Yufeng face, and said: "Shi Bo is so polite, it really hurts my nephew. I'm afraid that my nephew will not be able to learn the special skills of the Luo family, so please ask Shi Bo to open my nephew's eyes first."
Luo Yufeng became more and more happy, and said: "Thanks to Sister Yang's praise, brother Qi's praise, so clumsy and shameless."
After finishing speaking, he took out two iron gallbladders, one large and one small, making a clattering sound in his hand, handed them to Yue Hong and said, "I'll take out these two iron gallbladders at the same time later, and hit the one on the top of the rockery opposite. A stone protruding horizontally, do you guess which iron gall came first?"
Yue Hong checked the weight in his hand, the two iron gallbladders were solid, the smaller one was probably more than half the weight of the larger one, and he said, "Of course the smaller one arrived first."
Luo Yufeng smiled and said, "Is that so? Alright, then I'll type out the smaller one first."
Yue Hong said: "Then the smaller one arrived first."
Before the words were finished, Luo Yufeng raised his hand, and it was indeed the one with the small one first, and the big one after a while.
Seeing that the small iron gall was about to hit the rockery, the big one suddenly accelerated to catch up, and it was ahead in a blink of an eye. "Boom, boom!" There were two sounds in succession, but sparks splashed and gravel flew, and a corner of the stone the size of a millstone on the rockery was smashed.Immediately there was thunderous applause, and everyone praised: "Good work!"
Qi Shijie thought to himself: "I didn't expect this old man to have such strong hand strength, but breaking stones is not very difficult. Lifting weights is light, but the first to come first is the authentic internal martial arts, which is much more difficult." They clapped their hands in admiration.
Luo Yufeng lifted his beard and said with a smile: "Showing ugliness, showing ugliness, I'm laughing at you, I'm laughing at you!"
Amidst the applause and laughter, Qi Shijie seemed to faintly hear someone making noise outside.
Yue Hao frowned, and said: "Li Hai, go out and have a look, what's going on outside?" Li Hai is the name of a servant who knows a little martial arts.Yue Hong likes to take advantage of the excitement and say, "Father, let me go out and have a look. If someone makes trouble, I can fight better than Li Hai!" Without waiting for his father's consent, he ran out quickly.
Luo Bixia laughed and said: "Whoever dares to make trouble at my cousin's house, I'm afraid it may be your servants who drive out the beggars who came to the door to force them." Beggars are not allowed to come to beg for food, they have to line up at the entrance of the village, and then he asks his family to go out and distribute leftovers.Expulsion of beggars in front of the door is a frequent occurrence.Luo Bixia has seen it more than once.
The garden is quite far from the gate, but Qi Shijie has profound internal skills and his hearing is much more sensitive than ordinary people, but he has already faintly heard the sound of a fight outside.
Aunt Yang heard it too.But only for a moment, the noise was no longer heard.
Aunt Yang knew that although Yue Hong was young, he had already learned some of his father's skills, and three or five big men would not be able to get close to him, so she was not worried about Yue Hong, but worried that Yue Hong did not know the severity of his shots and injured him for some reason. People who make trouble outside.
Yue Hao was about to call his son back, but the Li Hai who went out just now had already run back!As soon as he entered the garden, he shouted angrily, "Master, it's not good, it's not good!"
Yue Hao said: "What's wrong, why make such a fuss!"
Li Hai yelled: "The young master was taken captive by them!"
Yue Hao's shock was no small matter, he shouted: "Who, who are they?"
Before the words were finished, I could only hear someone laughing loudly. Before I saw anyone, the laughter already shook the ears of the people in the garden!Qi Shijie couldn't help trembling: "This person's internal strength is not trivial, but he has such good martial arts, he must be a well-established figure in the martial arts, how could he bully a child?"
Before thinking about it, the "they" Li Hai mentioned had already stepped into the gate of the garden.Walking in front was a tall man with a beard, about fifty years old, followed by a middle-aged woman, about forty years old, a mid-mature woman, still charming, it could be seen that he was a beautiful woman, when she was young , must be a very beautiful girl.
This beautiful woman held a soft whip in her hand, and the end of the soft whip was put on Yue Hong's arm, and Yue Hong pulled it in for her.
Yue Hao is a powerful gentry, usually he is the only one who bullies others, who dares to offend him?Unexpectedly, he would encounter unexpected disasters, and he became very angry this time.
But he is a man of insight, knowing that those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come, he thought to himself: "This man's martial arts seem to be better than mine. Fortunately, my aunt and uncle are here, and they can deal with even the most powerful robbers." Come on, why do I have to do it myself? Let's see what their intentions are?"
At this time, the members of the Yue family had already heard the news, and the servants of the wealthy family are used to bullying others. What's more, in this garden, besides the master, there are two first-class masters in the martial arts, Aunt Yang and Luo Yufeng, who are here to support them. Well, they naturally couldn't allow outsiders to come and provoke them, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to show their loyalty to their master.
These slaves don't have the knowledge of their masters, they only know how to fight for merit, and when they make a cry, they rush to grab it!
The bearded man seemed to turn a blind eye, listen but not hear, and still walked forward with his head held high.
All of a sudden, the sound of "Ouch, Ouch!" can be heard endlessly, it's strange to say that he didn't see the bearded man make a move at all, and the Haonu who rushed to his side fell on their backs one by one.
How they fell, even Yue Hao couldn't see clearly.He had studied martial arts under Yang Mu's school for ten years.
However, Aunt Yang and Luo Yufeng couldn't help being surprised.They could tell that this bearded man was using the rare martial arts "stained clothes and eighteen falls" superior internal strength!
The middle-aged woman has another merit.
Since Yue Hong was in her hands, Hao Nu jumped on her more than her husband.Of course, another reason is also because they think that "female robbers" are easier to deal with than "male robbers".
The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said: "Are you here to ask for rewards? Well, although I am not as rich as your master, I still have a little money, so I will give you a few coins as rewards!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she raised her hand and immediately knelt down around her with a mass of black heads.
All the slaves who jumped at her hit the "Huantiao point" on their knees with a penny they gave her.
Yue Hao really has never seen or heard of such a powerful concealed weapon skill. He was originally confident, but now he can't help feeling timid.
The beautiful woman smiled and said: "If you reward me with a penny, all of you will give a big gift. You really are like slaves. I am disrespectful, so I have to be ashamed of it."
She dragged Yue Hong with a soft whip, and followed her husband, and she had already arrived at the banquet amidst laughter.
Yue Hao held back his breath and said, "Your Excellency is a friend on that line?"
The bearded man said: "Kan Dong Wei Chi Jiong is here to pay a visit to the rich man Yue!"
When the bearded man reported his name, Yue Hao's shock was no small matter, even Aunt Yang and Luo Yufeng couldn't help being shocked.
It turns out that Yu Chijiong is the most famous chivalrous thief in Jianghu. He was born as a horse thief in the Kanto region. For twenty years, the husband and wife have roamed the rivers and lakes, crossing the north and the south. The wrinkled shield.The government called him "Kanto Bandit", while ordinary people in the Jianghu called him "Kanto Hero".
However, in recent years, he has rarely been heard committing crimes, but unexpectedly he will suddenly show up at the Yue family.
What's even better is that he called Yue Hao "the richest man in Yue". This kind of address does not mean anything to other rich men, but it is clearly a kind of contempt for Yue Hao.
You must know that although Yue Hao has a lot of money, he is also a member of the martial arts. According to the general etiquette of the martial arts, since he belongs to the same branch of the martial arts, no matter the other party's character is good or bad, he should be called "Master Yue" or at least "Master Yue". "of.Calling him a "big rich man" now is just treating him as a "sheep".
Yue Hao held back his breath, and said: "It turns out to be the hero Yu Chijiong, I have admired him for a long time, this heroine is—"
Aunt Yang stared intently at the middle-aged beautiful woman, and then suddenly continued: "This heroine must be Mrs. Yuchi, who is called 'Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands' by Master Jiang Hong, praying for a heroine?"
The beautiful woman said: "That's right, I'm praying for the holy cause. As for the 'Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara', it's because my friends in the world put gold on my face, so it can't be taken seriously."
Aunt Yang said coldly: "Madame Yuchi, you don't need to be overly humble. With your hidden weapon skill of the goddess scattering flowers, it is enough to prove the nickname of 'Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands', and the reputation is well-deserved! But I feel a little pity for you."
Qi Shengyin said, "What's the pity?"
Aunt Yang said: "Avalokitesvara with three legs doesn't think it's overkill for dealing with three-legged cats?" The implication is that the group of house slaves she defeated were just rough men who knew how to use "three-legged cats" to beat them all. It doesn't show the ability of Avalokitesvara.The implication is that there is already a faint intention to challenge Qi Shengyin.
Qi Shengyin didn't know if he didn't understand, and said lightly: "The head of our family is going to visit the rich man Yue. I have nothing to do anyway, so I will come with him to take advantage of the excitement. I don't care about three-legged cats, but if they become It seems that a vicious dog that bites people can't be ignored, don't you think so?"
Aunt Yang said: "Master Yue is my nephew. You can beat cats or dogs. I don't care. But if someone bullies my nephew, I can't ignore it. What do you think?" ?” It was exactly the opposite of Qi Shengyin’s words.
Yu Chijiong suddenly laughed, and said: "Sheng Yin, you have to be careful. You, Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands, have met Avalokitesvara with Difficult Hands!"
Aunt Yang snorted, and continued: "Since you know my identity, then we don't have to talk in circles. May I ask Mrs. Yuchi, why did you abduct my nephew's child."
Qi Shengyin said: "This is our master's idea. I am a husband and wife. If you want to know, please ask your righteous master to ask our master."
Yue Hao knew that Aunt Yang was determined to help him, so he became courageous and asked loudly: "Hero Yuchi, but the idiot is ignorant, what offended you?"
Yu Chijiong said: "No. And even if your villain really offends me, the adults will not care about the naughty boy."
Yue Hao rushed upwards, and said: "Then you are targeting me? I have no grievances with you in the past, so what is the enmity in the future? Why do you use such vicious and despicable means?"
Yu Chijiong said: "Oh, so you also know that robbing someone's children is vicious and despicable?"
Yue Hao suddenly said: "What do you mean by that?"
Yu Chijiong said: "You ask me, and I want to ask you too, I robbed your son, does your heart ache?"
Yue Hao rolled his eyes with anger, and said: "You are here to amuse me, aren't you? It's about flesh and blood, you robbed my son. If I can't beat you, I will fight you hard!"
Yu Chijiong laughed, and said: "In this way, you are extremely heartbroken. Then let me ask you again, you robbed other people's children, and those children were also born by parents, so their parents would not feel heartbroken?"
Yue Hao said: "When did I rob other people's children?"
Yu Chijiong said: "It was your slaves who robbed it. They did it at your order. Doesn't that mean you robbed it?"
Yue Hao's complexion changed drastically, and he said: "You, you are talking nonsense, you, what evidence do you have?"
Yu Chijiong said: "It's very easy to ask for a witness!" He grabbed a servant who was kneeling on the ground, patted him lightly, and unlocked his acupoint, but it made him feel as painful as being stabbed by a thousand needles, and said : "You tell the truth about how you met me today, otherwise there will be a better taste for you to taste!"
The servant yelled: "Master Yuchi, spare your life, spare your life, I say, I say!" Yuchijiong patted him on the back lightly again, this time it reduced the pain he felt somewhat.
The servant said: "I was ordered by the master to go to a tenant to collect the rent owed, and I ran into you."
Yu Chijiong asked, "What were you doing at that time?"
The servant said: "Liu Er can't pay the rent in arrears, I will tie his daughter back to pay off the debt."
Yu Chijiong said: "Why did you do such an outrageous thing?"
The servant said: "It's none of my business, it's the owner's order."
Yu Chijiong let go of him, and said: "That little girl is also about the same age as your son. I heard that you have done more than one thing like this. Some daughters of good families were captured by you and used as maids. I was insulted by you. However, you are unlucky to meet me today! I can't see it, so I have to meddle in my own business!"
Yue Hao's face was livid, and he said: "Those mud-legged people owe me debts. If I don't have the money to repay the debts, I want their people. What's wrong with that? I don't owe you money, but you come to rob my son, two things , how can they be compared?"
Yu Chijiong shouted: "Money, money, money, you only have money in your eyes! Well, if you want to talk about money, I will talk to you about money. Yes, you don't owe me a debt, but you owe a lot of people. debt!"
Yue Hao said: "Joke, I have a lot of money, do I need to borrow money from others?"
Yu Chijiong said: "I asked your tenant carefully. He begged you to reduce the rent because of the drought last year, but you refused to reduce it. You can convert the one hundred and fifty catties of land rent he owed into one or two or eight silver coins. This year, according to your calculation, he was asked to pay back twelve taels of silver, and it was also based on your calculation that his daughter happened to be worth twelve taels of silver. I don’t know how many times you have done usurious exploitation like this. Poor people? How dare you say that your wealth is not all their blood and sweat!"
Yue Hao shouted: "I won't argue with you, I just know that what I did did not violate the king's law!"
Yu Chijiong shouted: "You have your king's law, I have my fist! If you want to talk about the king's law, I will take your son away, and you can call the tolerance to come and talk to me about the king's law. Otherwise, you will have to obey my law." Law!" His eyes were piercing, and he committed crimes without anger, which was terrifying.With his eyes fixed on him, Yue Hao had no choice but to shudder, for a moment he dared not answer.
Luo Yufeng hurriedly said: "You have something to say, you have something to say. Hero Yuchi, what do you want, you might as well make it clear and we can discuss it." Although he wanted to protect his aunt and nephew, he was really a little jealous of Yuchijiong and his wife.He thought to himself that Yue Hao is rich anyway, if he can spend a lot of money to make peace, then forget it.
Yu Chijiong said: "Okay, then I will make a deal with rich man Yue?"
Yue Hao said: "How to trade?"
Yu Chijiong said: "One hundred thousand taels of silver is exchanged for your precious son. I don't want this money from you. I want to pay off your debts and atone for your sins, and distribute it to the poor. I have to remind you that if the same thing happens to me next time Things cannot be settled with money!"
It was not difficult for Yue Hao to take out one hundred thousand taels of silver, but how could he be willing to give up this huge pile of vain silver?Relying on the support of Aunt Yang and Luo Yufeng, he laughed and said: "I love making friends the most, and it is rare for a worthy couple to come, even if Hero Yuchi doesn't open his mouth, I should do my best as a landlord and present Panchuan as a token of my heart. However, one hundred thousand taels of silver is a bit too much, right? Is it possible..."
Yu Chijiong's face changed suddenly, and he shouted, "Do you think I'm here to beat the autumn wind?"
Yue Hao said: "Hero Yuchi, you didn't understand me."
Yu Chijiong snorted, "What do you mean? Say something quickly, and fart quickly!" Yue Hao's face flushed, but he didn't dare to attack.
Luo Yufeng said: "Mr. Yuchi, the master treats each other with courtesy, please be more polite!"
Yu Chijiong said: "Being polite depends on who you are, forgive me for not having the time to deal with the rich man Yue!"
Luo Yufeng said: "Then please Mr. Yuchi give me some face and let me speak for him. Nephew Yue Xian, I think you mean to make friends with Mr. Yuchi. , negotiable. Right?"
Yue Hao said: "That's right. Of course we can discuss it if we are friends. But if Mr. Yuchi wants to take the child as a hostage and force me to take out a hundred thousand taels of silver to redeem him, even if I am willing to agree, I am afraid that I will insult the teacher. There are elders from my teacher's school, I can't lose face to elders!" Going around gently, Aunt Yang was pulled on.
Yu Chijiong laughed and said: "What are you, worthy of making friends with me? As for your sect, I advise you not to mention it! Your master has been insulted by your master long ago. It’s glorious, and I don’t care if you have insulted the master!”
Aunt Yang couldn't hold back anymore, and said: "Yu Chijiong, my younger brother is good or bad, there is no need for you to talk nonsense. You bully my nephew, I can't ignore it!"
Yu Chijiong said: "Okay, then I'll wait and see what tricky Avalokitesvara does, you can draw your own way!"
Aunt Yang said: "Yu Chijiong, I'm not afraid of you. But there are a few things I can't say quickly, so I have to say it first..."
Yu Chijiong said: "Okay, then spit it out quickly, so as not to kill you! I will listen carefully." Although he spoke more politely, he didn't use the phrase he used to say, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fast if you have something to say." "Let go" mantra, but anyone can hear the contempt and sarcasm.
Aunt Yang was so angry that her face was covered with frost, she stared at Yu Chijiong coldly and said: "You must have one hundred thousand taels of silver to release him."
Yu Chijiong said: "The price of iron is the same, even if there are less copper coins, the transaction cannot be made."
Aunt Yang sneered and said, "Yu Chijiong, you are also the number one person in the Jianghu after all. You kidnapped people and blackmailed you, but it was done by a lowly thief! If you know how to respect yourself, please put this child back first. Money can be negotiated, if we want to make gestures, we must have someone to accompany us!"
Yu Chijiong laughed loudly, and said: "This kind of indiscriminate behavior has already caused my nephew to do a lot. Today I just used his own way to punish him. However, for you these few days In a word, I might as well let this child go. Sheng Yin, let go of the soft whip; Avalokitesvara, if you have the ability, you can take him back."
Aunt Yang knew that Qi Shengyin was known as the Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands, and hidden weapon skills were very important. She wanted to ask her son to fight with her, but it was inconvenient to say so, so she could only wink at him.
Luo Bixia was sitting next to Qi Shijie, but she misunderstood that Aunt Yang's wink was calling her.
Qi Sheng let go of the soft whip, Yue Hong was stunned for a while, then ran back to Aunt Yang, he also knew that among the people in the seat, Aunt Yang was the most capable.
At this moment, several things happened one after another, almost at the same time.
First of all, Luo Bixia jumped out and shouted: "How can you cut a chicken with a sledgehammer, please let the younger generation do it for you." It turned out that she was relying on her father and Aunt Yang to be by her side, and she misunderstood that Aunt Yang wanted her to go out to show her skills, so she gave her a wink she.I thought that if Qi Shengyin dared to obstruct me, my father and Aunt Yang would definitely help me secretly.And with my ability, I may not be able to defeat the cause of praying for the Holy Spirit. "If I can defeat this female bandit, Brother Jie will definitely look at me with admiration." With her wishful thinking in mind, she immediately jumped out to pull Yue Hong.
Seeing his daughter jumping out, Luo Yufeng was shocked, two iron guts flew out immediately.The big iron gall hits Wei Chijiong, and the small iron gall hits the holy cause.
Only a "ding" sound was heard, and Qi Shengyin flew out an iron lotus seed, which collided with Tie Dan.
Although the iron gall that Luo Yufeng hit her was relatively small, it was hundreds of times heavier than the iron lotus seed!
Tie Lianzi bumped into Tie Dan, and Tie Dan turned around.
Almost at the same time, Yu Chijiong shouted: "Pearls of rice grains also shine!" He took the big iron gall and threw it with his backhand.
The little iron gall that was turned by Tie Lianzi collided with the big iron gall thrown back by Yuchijiong.Sparks splashed in mid-air, and the castration became even faster, and it flew towards Luo Yufeng.
Luo Yufeng is an expert in martial arts, when he saw the iron gall coming, he knew that the throwing force was several times stronger than his own, and with his own skill, no matter what, he couldn't catch it by force.
Although there was no audience at the table, the jug and wine glasses were all set up.The teapot and teacups were not accepted either.Luo Yufeng didn't dare to take it hard, he had no time to think about saving face in his busy schedule, so he ducked down and hid under the table.There was only a sound of "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, and the wine pot, the wine glass, the teapot, and the teacup were almost all smashed into pieces!
Almost at the same time, Qi Shengyin rolled up Luo Bixia's "delicate body" with a flick of the soft whip.
"Smelly girl who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, sit down obediently!" Qi Shengyin laughed.Amidst the laughter, Luo Bixia flicked the soft whip, and Luo Bixia threw it back as if riding a cloud.
This toss was so wonderful that Luo Bixia just sat back in her original position without any injuries.But he was scared out of his wits, his face pale.
Yue Hong, who was running towards Aunt Yang, suddenly yelled "Ouch" twice, jumped back, and knelt at Qi Sheng Yin's feet.
Qi Shengyin said coldly: "I didn't break your bones, why are you being coquettish, stand up by yourself!" Aunt Yang couldn't hold back, she jumped out and shouted: "Qi Sheng Yin, if you have the guts to fight me, don't bully the child! !"
Qi Shengyin said: "Very good, you take my hidden weapon, and I will take your Liuyang hand!"
Qi Shengyin's most powerful skill is hidden weapons, and Aunt Yang's unique skill is the "Six Yang Hands" passed down in her family. According to the rules of the world, if famous people do not decide how to compete in advance, they will naturally have their own unique skills.Therefore, the prayer for the holy cause first said that it was not a sneak attack.She fired the concealed weapon first, so it can't be said that she violated the rules of the competition.
Aunt Yang shouted: "Okay, I'll let you see the Yang family's Liuyang hand!" A move "overturning the rain and turning the clouds", left palm yin, right palm yang, chopping alternately, only the sound of ding ding can be heard endlessly, four An iron lotus seed was swept away by her palm.
But Qi Shengyin sent seven iron lotus seeds at once, knocked down four, and three flew into the sealing circle of her palm.
Aunt Yang felt a chill in her heart, she never expected that my fame in my life would be lost under her hidden weapon!
The three iron lotus seeds hit Aunt Yang's vital acupuncture points!
Aunt Yang spat out all the strength in her palm, she was unable to protect herself at this moment.
Tie Lian Zi took advantage of the gap and entered, as fast as lightning.Even if Aunt Yang used all her strength, she could only dodge two bullets at most, and the third bullet must hit her acupuncture points!
"Hot-handed Avalokitesvara" became famous far before "Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara". Strictly speaking, even if Qisheng Yin cannot be said to be Aunt Yang's junior, he should be regarded as half a generation younger.
With the temper of "Hot Hand Guanyin", she was defeated by the younger generation in just one face-to-face meeting. If Tie Lianzi hit her deadly spot, I'm afraid she would die of anger too!
Aunt Yang was feeling cold when she suddenly saw three groups of red shadows flying towards her, faster than the iron lotus seeds.The iron lotus seeds were wrapped by it, and fell to the ground at the same time, but there was no sound.
It turned out that the three red shadows were three big red camellias picked by Qi Shijie.At this time, he was standing by the blooming camellia watching the battle, seeing his mother in danger, how could he ignore it?He didn't have a hidden weapon on him, so he had no choice but to pick off the three camellias beside him, silently practiced profound skills, and used the camellia as a hidden weapon. Flowers are soft and not easy to withstand force.But after using his profound internal strength, he flew out and caught up with Qisheng Yin's iron lotus seeds, wrapped the iron lotus seeds in the petals, the two forces canceled each other out, and fell to the ground at the same time.这份功力比起刚才祈圣因用铁莲子撞开铁胆，更是难得多了。
齐世杰这手功夫一显，罗雨峰等人固然是做梦也料想不到他有这等功夫；二十年纵横江湖，几乎所向无敌的关东大侠尉迟炯，也是不禁心头一震！
内功练到最高境界，可以“摘叶飞花，伤人立死。”不过这种功夫，只是见之传说，谁也未曾亲眼见过。
齐世杰的功夫还未达到这个境界，但已是属于同一类功夫。尉迟炯是个武学大行家，虽未见过，一看亦知。
尉迟炯心头一震，暗自想道：“这少年不知是何人弟子，年纪轻轻，内功之深，却已不在我下。岳豪有这么一个好手，我倒是不可太轻敌了。”
心念未已，罗雨峰在呆了一呆之后，惊魂已定，大声喝起采来，说道：“齐世侄，好功夫！嘿嘿，千手观音，你的暗器功夫连杨大姑的儿子都能胜你，还用得着她亲自出手吗？”
祈圣因道：“不错。这少年的功夫确是不错。杨大姑，你有此佳儿，请回去吧！”弦外之音，母亲实是不如儿子。但她看在杨大姑儿子的份上，却也不愿难为她了。
杨大姑当然听得出她的意思，不过以她在武林中的身份，却是不能像罗雨峰那样胡乱吹牛。罗雨峰可以用“割鸡焉用牛刀”之类的话来替她遮羞，她却只能一声不响的走回原来座位。
以她的脾气，她一声不响，实际亦已是等于认了输了。
尉迟炯哼了一声，说道，“你们既然要以多为胜，那就并肩子上吧！不管你们多少人，我们都只是夫妻两个！你们若有本领，尽可把我们夫妻杀了。否则，我也不想杀伤你们，但这十万两银子却是非要不可！”
要知岳豪这边的人，虽然有罗雨峰父女、杨大姑母子和岳豪五人懂得武功，但在尉迟炯眼中，只有齐世杰算得是劲敌，杨大姑或者勉强也可一战，其他三人焉能放在他的眼内！他们夫妻俩联手，自是可以必胜无疑。
岳豪打了个哈哈，说道：“尉迟先生，你也未免太小看人了。岳某虽然微不足道，但有师门长辈在此，岂能容得别人轻视？你放心，我们绝对不会以多为胜！”他是个工于心计的人，对方想得到的他当然也想得到，心道：“让世杰师弟去和他单打独斗，虽然未必能胜，却总胜于群殴。”
尉迟炯冷冷的盯着齐世杰说道：“好，那就单打独斗也行！”
岳豪说道：“师姑，你老人家出手未免稍失身份，看尉迟先生的意思，似乎是属意世杰师弟，不如就让师弟出去领教尉迟光生的高明武功如何？”
尉迟炯冷冷说道：“身份早已失了，还摆什么架子？辣手观音，你的'辣手'，内人早已领教过了。你要令郎替你挽回面子，就让他来试几招也行。我自有分数，不会占小辈便宜的。”
杨大姑气得面色铁青，说道：“世杰，人家这样小看咱们母子，你出去好好领教尉迟先生的武功！”
在这情形底下，齐世杰自是不能不出去应战了。
尉迟炯道：“来、来！你要怎样比试，划出道儿来吧！”
齐世杰道：“且慢动手，我有几句话先要说说。”
尉迟炯道：“好的，本来你不说我也有几句话要说的，如今就让你先说吧。”
齐世杰道：“尉迟先生，我想请你把我这小师侄放了。”
尉迟炯道：“胜负未分，你就要我放人？”
齐世杰说道：“你和岳师哥的纠纷我不想管，不过这个孩子是无辜的，何必要他担惊受怕？”
尉迟炯道：“多少好人家的孩子被你的师兄害了，岂只担惊受怕？”
齐世杰道：“语云：己所不欲，勿施于人。我无意替师兄辩护，但尉迟先生既然认为他的作为不对，又何必和他一样？”
尉迟炯怔了一怔，说道：“我也并不是难为这个孩子，不过要用他交换十万两银子！”
齐世杰道：“你胜了我，这十万两银子我给你！”说至此处，回头对母亲道：“娘，咱们变卖产业，十万两银子该有的吧？凭娘的面子，先借这笔款项想必也可以借得到吧？”
杨大姑道：“你尽管用心讨教尉迟先生的武功，十万两银子包在我的身上，不必你来操心！”
岳豪忙道：“世杰师弟，你说的是什么话？莫说这十万两银子未必就会输了给他，就是万一输了，我也感激你的盛情，又岂能连累你家破财？”要知他对齐世杰刚才的一番话虽然甚为不满，但这个台却是不能坍的。
齐世杰淡淡说道：“岳师兄，你不用领我的情，我并非为你出力，我只是奉母亲之命，向尉迟先生领教武功！”
岳豪不觉面上变色，把眼望着杨大姑。
杨大姑说道：“杰儿，银子小事，你怎样想我不管。但你和尉迟先生这场赌斗，却不能说是和你的岳师兄没有关连！”
齐世杰道：“娘，你要说有关连那就算有关连吧。总之，孩儿会照你的意思全力向尉迟先生讨教。要是孩儿丧在他的刀下，请你也莫伤心！”
杨大姑不禁皱起眉头，心里想道：“这孩子怎么专说丧气的话？唉，要是你当真不敌，娘又岂能独活？”原来她并非不知道儿子和这两个江湖怪杰单打独斗的危险，只因她脾气十分倔强，早已打定了主意，要是儿子真的有性命之危，她宁可母子二人与尉迟炯同归于尽，也不能受他之辱。
尉迟炯道：“你们母子说完没有？如今该轮到我说啦！”
齐世杰道：“请说！”尉迟炯冷冷笑道：“这里只有你有点人味儿，冲着你的面子，我破一次例。”
尉迟炯回过头来对妻子道：“圣因，你把这孩子放了！”
祈圣因放开岳宏，笑道：“好，你回去吧。即使没有人质，这十万两银子我也不怕你的爹爹会走了我的！”尉迟炯笑道：“因妹，话可不能说得太满，这十万两银子，咱们只怕未必准得赢过来呢！”听得此言，杨大姑这才精神为之一振，心道：“原来你也没有必胜的把握，倒并不是我这孩儿自灭威风了。”
祈圣因哈哈笑道：“小伙子，今天你即使败在我的丈夫手下，你也足以自豪了。和他交过手的人，能够得到他这样看重的，你还是第一个！”这话虽然是对齐世杰的称赞，但话中之意，则是认定齐世杰必败无疑的。
尉迟炯继续说：“我说过不能占小辈的便宜，就这样吧，只要你能够接得下我一百招，就算是你胜了。我一个铜钱也不要，马上就走！”
齐世杰道：“我不要你让！”
尉迟炯道：“我说过的话，从不更改。你不要我让，那是你的事，总之我以百招为限，胜不了你，今后决不踏进岳家！”
岳豪大喜说道：“师弟，人家是江湖上早已成名的人物，你对前辈应该客气一些，如何可以妄自尊大，要与人家平等过招？”表面是怪责齐世杰，实际是怕他不肯领尉迟炯的情。
齐世杰道：“好，尉迟先生，你要以百招为限，那是你的事。别多说了，请赐招吧！”
尉迟炯道：“你用什么兵器？”
齐世杰道：“就凭这双肉掌，领教你的快刀！”
尉迟炯纵声笑道：“小伙子，你也未免太狂妄了。你的功夫虽然不错，但在我的快刀底下，任何空手入白刃的功夫都施展不了的，我可不想你白送性命！”
岳豪叫道：“师弟，齐家的六合刀和杨家的六阳手都是你的家传绝技，本来用六阳手也未尝不可，但那未免对前辈不敬，你没带兵器，就用我这把缅刀吧。”说罢，把手一扬，把随身佩带的缅刀抛给齐世杰。
这把缅刀是岳豪用重金从缅甸一个王公的手中买来的，乃是一把百炼钢已成绕指柔的宝刀，不用之时可以缠在腰间当作腰带的。拔刀出鞘，只见恍如一泓秋水。
杨大姑也怕儿子倔强，不肯接受岳豪劝告，定要空手应敌，于是跟着说道：“杰儿，尉迟先生的快刀天下第一，难得有这机会，你理该向前辈讨教几招刀法。否则失敬还在其次，失掉这个机会，可就是天大的可惜了！”
她说这话，除了恐怕儿子吃亏之外，还怕儿子不知对方的厉害，故此先把尉迟炯的特长点出来，好让儿子知所趋避，纵然破不了对方的快刀，也可以多拆几招。她知道儿子已经练成了第八重的“龙象功”，龙象功是天竺上乘武学，最高的境界是第九重，练到了第八重已经非同小可，估计与尉迟炯的功力亦当相去不远了。要是知己知彼，应付得宜，说不定可以抵敌百招之数。
尉迟炯哈哈一笑，说道：“快刀天下第一，我可不敢当。孟元超大侠的刀法就比我使得更快更精。令郎武功不俗，料想也不至于只能接我几招。”言外之意，虽然不敢自居第一，也是天下第二。同时尽管他称赞了齐世杰，但话中之意，显然还是为齐世杰在他的刀下难走满百招。
不过他这话倒是不卑不亢，说起来也是恰如其份。十年前他确是武林公认的天下第一快刀，如今也还有人认为他与孟元超难分轩轾的。孟元超的快刀后来居上，杨大姑并非不知，只因孟元超是她心目中侮辱了她杨家的仇人，故而她宁愿把“快刀天下第一”的衔头送给尉迟炯，虽然尉迟炯此际亦已是她的敌人。
但她对尉迟炯的弦外之音却是甚感不满，面色一沉，涩声说道：“杰儿，人家已经划出道儿，你还不上去讨教高招，能接几招就是几招，别给人家看小。”
其实齐世杰意欲空手对敌，倒并非出于少年的狂傲，他的所长在于内功而非刀法，而且他看得出对方用的是把宝刀，寻常刀剑亦难抵敌。反正自己没有取胜的把握，不如索性不用兵器。
武功练到最高境界，用不用兵器，本来亦无多大分别，但要知齐世杰的对手是一个武功造诣比他更高的人，那就有分别了。如今齐世杰得到岳豪枢过来的这把主刀，料想在兵刃上不至于不吃亏，他也就改变了主意了。
“晚辈齐世杰奉家母之命，敬请尉迟先生赐招！”齐世杰横刀当胸，缓缓说道。
尉迟炯拔刀出鞘，纵声笑道：“咱们是赌斗十万两银子。可不是印证武功，不必客气，你出招吧！”
他这一拔刀出鞘，众人都是不禁好生惊愕，齐世杰也有“始料之所不及”的诧异，轻轻“噫”了一声。
原来尉迟炯这把宝刀连鞘长达三尺三寸，刀鞘的正反两面，都镶有两块大红宝石，十八颗明珠熠熠生光，耀眼生缬。
众人见刀的鞘都这样名贵，鞘中的刀自必更是价值连城的宝刀。心中都想：尉迟炯是天下数一数二的刀客，也只有如此一把价值连城的宝刀才配得上他。
那知他一拔出来，大出众人意料之外。
那柄“宝刀”黑黝黝的毫无光泽，刀锋竟是钝的。看起来就像一块顽铁。和齐世杰手中这把光彩夺目的缅刀相比，不啻有如丑妇之比西施！
齐世杰“噫”了一声，尉迟炯横他一眼，冷冷说道：“你看不起我这把宝刀？”
众人见他把顽铁自称“宝刀”，想笑都不敢笑。
岳豪把缅刀借给齐世杰之后，一直惴惴不安，恐怕自己的宝刀比不上对方。此时方始放下心上的一块石头，暗自想道：“我这把缅刀，削铁如泥，吹毛立断，待会儿一碰，叫你知道什么才是宝刀。”
齐世杰道：“不敢。”祈圣因噗嗤笑道：“不敢什么？你是不敢看轻我当家的这柄宝刀还是不敢出招？怎么老是光说不敢？”
齐世杰朗声说道：“请尉迟先生指教！”双手持刀，高高举起，当中劈下，这一招名为“灵山拜佛”，乃是以晚辈自居，对前辈表示尊敬的起手式。
尉迟炯道：“不必客气！”身向前顷，脚步歪斜，恍如醉汉，振臂挥刀，迎上前来。身法刀法，都是极为古怪。
杨大姑叫道：“好一招醉打金刚，多谢你看得起小儿！”
原来这一招“醉打金刚”，相传是宋代鲁智深醉打山门，传下来的“伏魔杖法”一招变化而成刀法的。
齐世杰的“起手式”用“灵山拜佛”，尉迟炯却报以“醉打金刚”，本来是很不礼貌的事，但把齐世杰当作“金刚”来打，也可说得是对一个后生晚辈的重视了。当然杨大姑说的乃是反话，真正的用意乃是恐怕儿子不识此招，提醒他的。
齐世杰的武学造诣在母亲之上，其实无须她的提醒，一听尉迟炯劈来的刀风，便知道他这一招厉害非常了。齐世杰对本身的内功虽然较有自信，但是否敌得过尉迟炯，心中则是殊无把握的。见他这招来得凶猛，不敢硬接，一个盘龙绕步，移形易位，使出一招“穿手藏刀式”，斜削对方左臂，这一招似守实攻，自是攻敌之所必救。
哪知尉迟炯比他更快，唰，唰，唰连环三刀，疾如闪电，竟不救招，便与齐世杰对抢攻势。欲语有云：棋高一着，束手束脚。棋道如此，武学亦然。尉迟炯刀法比他精妙，出手又比他快，根本无需防御，齐世杰已是没法攻进他的空门。这一招“穿手藏刀式”齐世杰自以为是攻敌之所必救，那知刀尖方自下刺，对方已是刀挟劲风迎头劈下，要救招的不是尉迟炯反而是他了。
齐世杰施展平生所学，闪开两招，第三招他的整个身形都在对方刀势笼罩之下，无可奈何，只能硬接。双刀相击，“当”的一声，火花四溅，尉迟炯身形一晃，齐世杰退了三步。
若是名家对敌，就这样的情形说来，齐世杰已经算得是输了“半招”了。（假如尉迟炯不是身形一晃，齐世杰就该算是输了全招。）
罗雨峰飞快的数道：“一、二——三、四、五——”把双方的“起手式”都算在内，也不过是第五招。
虽然即使输两三招也还不能判为这场比武已经输悼，比武的规矩是在一方被击倒或无能力抵抗自行认输才能宣布结束的，但只不过第五招，齐世杰就输了半招，杨大姑自是不禁凉了半截，情知凶多吉少，希望儿子抵敌百招，只怕难于登天。
岳豪更是吃惊，他这把削铁如泥的主刀碰着了尉迟炯那把毫不起眼的钝刀，钝刀丝毫也没有伤损。
但要是他看得清楚的话，恐怕他还要更加吃惊。
齐世杰退后三步，低头一看，缅刀上已是损了一个缺口。这个缺口只有指甲痕大小，除了他本人之外，旁观者是看不见的。
齐世杰不觉倒吸一口凉气，暗自想道：“他的内力倒似乎并不比我强了多少，但他这把钝刀却重得出奇，震得我虎口酸麻，刀质也似乎还在岳师哥这把宝刀之上！”
殊不知齐世杰固然吃惊，但更吃惊的还是尉迟炯。
“这小子的内力只有在我之上，决不在我之下。这一招我不过是占了兵器的便宜，不能算数。倘若我用的不是这一把刀，显然在刀法上我也可以胜他，但他的内力不弱于我，这就恐怕未必能在百招之内可胜了。”尉迟炯心想。
原来尉迟炯这把钝刀乃是掺有玄铁铸炼的。同样的体积，“玄铁”要比寻常的钢铁重逾十倍。
玄铁是极为难得之物，三十年前，大魔头史白都曾仗着一把玄铁重剑横行天下，厉害可想而知。后来这把剑落在金逐流之手（金逐流的妻子史红英是史白都之妹，兄妹行事完全不同。故事详见拙著）。金逐流是天下第一剑客，不用宝剑亦已天下无敌，玄铁重剑自此不再出现江湖。
尉迟炯这把钝刀，虽然只掺有两成玄铁，对付寻常刀剑已是有如摧枯拉朽；即使对方用的是宝刀宝剑，倘若内力稍逊于他，也不足以当他玄铁重刀的一击。
当然尉迟炯之所以能够成为天下数一数二的刀客，主要还是靠他刀法，但这把掺有玄铁的重刀，也可帮了他不少的忙。
岳豪这把缅刀，虽然是百炼精钢，刀质还是逊于他这把掺有玄铁的钝刀的。
一来是尉迟炯所用的宝刀更胜于齐世杰所用的宝刀，二来尉迟炯见齐世杰年纪轻轻，料想他的内功纵然不弱，也决难超过自己，故此尉迟炯只道对方的宝刀定会给他一击即断。那知结果却是颇为出他意料之外。
结果是齐世杰所用的宝刀只损了一个小小的缺口，而且在碰击的那一霎那，尉迟炯也给对方的内力震得呼吸为之不舒，身形亦不能不为之一晃。
尉迟炯是个武学大行家，凭这两点，已是足以知道，对方的内力只有在他之上，决不在他之下。
不过，这结果虽然是尉迟炯始料之所不及，但在双刀碰击过后，他却是更有信心可以稳操胜券了。心里想道：“这小子的内力虽然不比我弱，但可惜他运用内力的功夫，尚未能达到一流境界，刀法和临敌经验更是远不如我！早知如此，我何须限他百招，自贬身份？二十招只伯他也未必抵挡得住！”
齐世杰退了三步，尉迟炯哈哈笑道：“小伙子，站稳了再来！”
罗雨峰却在那边对他女儿说道：“齐家六合刀的长处是在刀法绵密，寓攻于守。若然不是急于求胜，即使碰上比自己武功高强的敌手，也可立于不败之地。待会儿你用心观看，定当得益不少。杨大姑，我说的对吗？”
杨大姑当然懂得他的用意，他表面是指点女儿，实际是指点齐世杰的。
杨大姑道：“不错，这套刀法最忌心粗气浮，小儿尚未练到他爷爷的两成，只怕未必能够领悟。”藉辞指点，更加明显了。
祈圣因冷笑说道：“六合刀也值得夸口，真是井底之蛙。即使是四海游龙齐建业盛年之时，他用上这套刀法，也未必抵挡得了我当家的一百招！”
杨大姑面色胀红，正要和祈圣因斗嘴，只见齐世杰又已和尉迟炯斗在一起。
齐世杰依照母亲指点，再度交手，果然只守不攻。杨大姑心里想道：“这就对啦，杰儿在兵刃上并不吃亏，
