Chapter 4 The fourth chapter goes deep into the stone forest to seek secrets and dare to fight the devil with a sword
The girl was docile, unhappy, and said with a smile on her face: "Okay, then I will talk about Xiao Jinchuan first. They are all heroes in the world, occupying a small place, resisting the Qing court, and their lives are hard. , unyielding ambition. I really admire them."
"Then why don't you stay in Xiaojinchuan?" the man asked.
"Uncle and Uncle asked me to leave. It was the eve of a great war. I wanted to stay, but they insisted that I leave. Because they have already decided to give up Xiao Jinchuan."
"Heh, isn't it a pity that they want to give up Xiao Jinchuan?"
The girl seemed to be thinking for a while before she slowly said: "Hero Meng said that the war they fought was long-term. In order to drive out the Tartars and restore the country, this battle may take ten years, maybe a hundred years. They don't care about the gains and losses of a place. The most important thing is the people, not the place. If the green hills are left, they are not afraid of running out of firewood. So although they have always regarded Xiaojinchuan as their home, when they have to, they are still ready to give up Xiaojinchuan. From Jinchuan."
The man said: "Oh, so, it is impossible for me to go to Xiaojinchuan to find Meng Yuanchao in the future?" This sentence is exactly what Yang Hua wanted to say.He pressed the Meng family knife manual hidden on his body, and couldn't help but feel at a loss.
The girl said: "That's right. They are going to retreat to the river, and their whereabouts will be uncertain in the future. Not long after I left, the Qing soldiers entered Sichuan in large numbers. There is no news, and it is difficult to know the real situation. I am afraid that Xiaojinchuan has already fallen by now. Well, if it wasn't for..."
The man said: "What else? Why don't you continue?"
The girl suddenly smiled and said, "This time, guess what's on my mind?"
The man said: "If it wasn't for bringing me news about my uncle, you would have retreated with them desperately."
The girl blushed and said with a smile, "You are really smart this time."
The man suddenly said: "Did you see Liu Kang in Xiaojinchuan this time?"
The girl said: "I see. Liu Daxia's wife's name is Wuzhuang. I heard that she knows you. But you haven't told me."
The man said indifferently: "That's right, she lived in my house for a few days with Yun Ziluo and Miao Daxia Miao Changfeng and others. This is not an important matter. I forgot to tell you."
The girl said: "Mrs. Liu is very kind to me, and she is not a few years older than me. She is the mother of two children, but she is still very innocent and lively, like an unmarried girl. One day we stood together, Mrs. Meng teased us and said: You stand together like a pair of sisters. In terms of age, Mrs. Liu should of course be an older sister, but when it comes to prudence and dignity, she looks like a younger sister."
The man was silent, as if he was thinking about something.
The girl said this "joke", and seeing that he didn't respond, she felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Of course it's Meng Daxia's wife who put money on my face. Compared with Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu seems to be young, but she is actually very capable. Xiao Jinchuan's female soldiers were all trained by her and Mrs. Meng."
The man said: "Stop talking about Mrs. Liu."
"Hey, why don't you seem very happy, what's on your mind?"
"I heard that the rebel army is going to give up Xiao Jinchuan, can you still be happy?"
The girl said: "Didn't Hero Meng make it very clear? Back then they opened up Xiaojinchuan as a rebel base, and they can still open up another new world in the future! Some of them are loyal and chivalrous, so I'm afraid they won't be able to create it?"
The man said: "I understand the truth, but I feel uncomfortable!"
The girl comforted him and said: "I heard that the rebels are going to give up such a good place. Who can feel comfortable? But it's like a winter night. The night is very long and cold. But no matter what, it will pass. Day Once it comes, the sun is everywhere again. What do you think?"
The man sighed and said, "You're right." In fact, the discomfort in his heart wasn't just because of the rebel army's retreat.
This boy's name is Duan Jianqing, he is Duan Choushi's nephew.When Wuzhuang lived in his house eight years ago, he once fell in love with her at first sight.Later, knowing that the famous flower has an owner, I gave up my thoughts.He had never told anyone about this secret.He asked the girl about Liu Kang just now, in fact, he wanted to know the news about Wuzhuang.
The girl said: "Just now you asked me why I didn't stay in Xiaojinchuan, I also want to ask you, why didn't you go to Xiaojinchuan with your uncle?"
Duan Jianqing said: "Like you, my uncle doesn't allow me to go to Xiaojinchuan." In his heart he cried out "Ashamed", because what he said was a lie.The biggest reason is because he avoided seeing Wuzhuang.
The girl said: "I understand, your uncle is afraid that you will not be able to endure hardships. You are a little prince!"
Duan Jianqing was displeased, and said: "I am no longer a little prince. If I wanted to enjoy life, would I still come out to roam the rivers and lakes? Don't think that I can't bear hardships, I, I..." It seemed to be looking for some truth , proving that he can "endure hardship", but he can't tell.
The girl chuckled and said: "I was joking with you, why are you so serious?" Duan Jianqing suddenly felt a little uneasy with her, and said with a smile: "Actually, I regret not going to Xiaojinchuan?"
The girl said: "Why?" Duan Jianqing said: "If I had been in Xiaojinchuan two years ago, wouldn't I be able to meet you earlier?"
The girl smiled like a flower, and said: "You really have this idea? In fact, what good is there for me, it is worth you coming to Xiaojinchuan to get acquainted with me?"
Duan Jianqing originally wanted to make her happy, but seeing how affectionate she was for him, he couldn't help being moved, and said: "Because you are the person who cares about me the most, it would be great if we could get to know each other earlier." These few words The words came from his heart.He was thinking in his heart: "If I met her before I met Wuzhuang, maybe I could save a lot of troubles."
The girl only said that he really liked her, and said with a smile: "Two years ago, I was still in Qingcheng Mountain. In fact, the ancients said: white hair is like new, and it is as old as before. How can the depth of friendship be measured by time? We are now It's not too late to get to know each other."
It turned out that the girl's name was Leng Bing'er.She is the third generation female disciple of Qingcheng School.Leng Tieqiao, the leader of Xiao Jinchuan's rebel army, is her uncle, and Xiao Zhiyuan, the deputy leader, is her uncle.However, she studied art in Qingcheng Mountain since she was a child, and she only started to go down the mountain last year.Back to Xiaojinchuan, it was already after she met Duan Jianqing.Of course, when she first met Duan Jianqing, she still didn't dare to tell him her background.
Duan Jianqing was grateful to her, but also ashamed, forced a smile and said: "You are right. Let's talk a little more about Xiao Jinchuan's characters. How about that Mrs. Meng? You mentioned Mrs. Liu, but you haven't talked about it yet. The person who sits in the third position in Xiaojinchuan—Meng Yuanchao is the wife of Hero Meng." He deliberately changed the subject so that Leng Binger would not continue talking to him along the original topic.
Leng Bing'er said: "Meng Hero's wife is named Lin Wushuang. She was originally the head of the Fusang School, but because she went to Xiaojinchuan to marry Meng Daxia, she gave up the head position to her senior brother Shi Wei."
Duan Jianqing said: "Oh, it turns out that she is still the head of the sect, so she must be a hero among women?"
Leng Bing'er smiled and said: "Does that matter? Her swordsmanship is also recognized as the number one among Xiao Jinchuan's many heroes. Not only is she strong in martial arts, but she also has the same temperament as Meng Hero in terms of life. Chinese."
Duan Jianqing smiled and said: "You and her are not old friends, how do you know?"
Leng Bing'er said: "Do you know Yun Ziluo, who was once famous in Jianghu?"
Yang Hua followed behind them. Hearing this, he was both happy and sad.The happy thing is that they praised his mother so much, but the sad thing is that his mother died early.He thought to himself: "They just talked about Meng Yuanchao and his wife, why did they talk about my mother? Let's hear what they say about her?"
Duan Jianqing smiled and said: "How could you just know that Lady Yun once lived in my house. It's a pity I heard that she has already died."
Leng Bing'er said: "Nvxia Yun was a good friend of Daxia Meng and his wife during her lifetime."
Duan Jianqing said: "So what?"
Leng Bing'er said: "I once went to the grave of Yunvxia with Meng Daxia and his wife to pay homage to Yunvxia. Because they were about to leave Xiaojinchuan, they took time out of their busy schedules to bid farewell to Yunnvxia. Weeping very sadly, Madam Meng almost fainted from crying." Duan Jianqing seemed to feel a little strange, and said: "A hero like Hero Meng, he also cried?"
Leng Bing'er said: "Yes, and she cried so sadly. I heard people say that Meng Daxia was wounded countless times in previous battles, and no one has ever seen him shed tears, but that day I accompanied their husband and wife. A lot of tears."
Duan Jianqing sighed and said, "There are probably very few people in today's world who value friendship as much as Meng Daxia and his wife." He said this out of emotion, not because he knew about the relationship between Meng Yuanchao and Yun Ziluo.
Leng Bing'er said faintly: "That's not necessarily true. From my point of view, those heroes in Xiao Jinchuan all attach great importance to friendship." People treat you well, but you don't know it yourself!"
But Duan Jianqing seemed to guess what she was thinking, and then said with a smile: "That's right, I said this, it is indeed necessary to fight. There is a person who attaches great importance to friendship in front of me."
Leng Bing'er blushed and said: "I'm just talking with you, how did you get on my head?" If there is regret in his words, he is really happy in his heart.Duan Jianqing smiled and said, "Aren't you?"
Yang Hua didn't want to listen to their love story, and thought to himself: "It turns out that my mother was buried in Xiaojinchuan, so I still have to go to Xiaojinchuan. Even if I can't see Meng Yuanchao, I can do my best to be a son of man. Let’s pay homage to my mother’s grave.” Then he thought, “So my mother is a good friend of Meng Yuanchao and his wife. But why didn’t Meng Yuanchao let his wife copy the knife manual? However, it might be that Mrs. Meng asked her mother to copy it for her. "He thought that this mystery could be explained, so he listened carefully to the conversation between Duan Jianqing and Leng Binger.
Suddenly Duan Jianqing heard a strange cry, full of surprise and joy.This was the sound of admiration that came out suddenly after they were silent for a while.It turned out that they had come to Jianchi unconsciously.
Leng Bing'er exclaimed: "This is really a fairyland! I really can't imagine such a beautiful place in the world!"
Duan Jianqing said: "Look, this is Jianfeng. The word 'Jianfeng' was inscribed by Zhang Danfeng!" His tone was extremely excited.
While they were exulting and admiring, Yang Hua had already taken a shortcut to bypass them, went up to Jianfeng, and hid behind a big rock.Hearing Duan Jianqing's tone just now, it seems that Jianfeng has a secret related to the Duan family, and he thought to himself: "I can't show up at this moment, otherwise he will think that I intend to eavesdrop on his secret."
I only heard Leng Bing'er laughing and said: "Look at how happy you are. Is this Zhang Danfeng you are talking about Zhang Danfeng, the great master of martial arts in Ming Dynasty?"
Duan Jianqing said: "Who else deserves my joy? Haha, I finally found out!"
Leng Bing'er said: "What did you find?"
Duan Jianqing sighed suddenly, and said: "No, no! This time, I'm afraid it's like entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed!"
Leng Binger asked in surprise, "Are you here to hunt for treasure?"
Duan Jianqing smiled and said: "I'm not looking for gold and silver treasures!" While speaking, he still looked up at Jianfeng with fixed eyes.
Leng Bing'er said: "You said you have something to say to me under Jianfeng—"
Duan Jianqing said: "Okay, you are smarter than me, you can think about it for me."
Leng Bing'er said: "What are you thinking about?"
Duan Jianqing said: "There is a secret hidden on this sword peak, which is related to Zhang Danfeng, and it is also related to my Duan family."
Leng Bing'er said: "I am confused by your words. Zhang Danfeng is a martial arts master in the Ming Dynasty, how could he be related to your Duan family?"
Duan Jianqing said: "I won't lie to you, Zhang Danfeng is still my patriarch!"
Yang Hua was very surprised, and thought to himself: "Why is Zhang Danfeng also his patriarch? He just came to Shilin for the first time, so of course he couldn't discover the secret book left by Zhang Danfeng like me." Hearing Leng Binger ask: "This is even more strange, you are not from the Tianshan School, how could Zhang Danfeng be your ancestor?"
Duan Jianqing said: "Zhang Danfeng was a guest at my house about three hundred years ago, and left a few articles to teach him how to get started. But I don't know which generation of ancestors started, and the children in the family were not allowed to learn martial arts. My uncle left because he wanted to learn martial arts. Family." Of course he also knew there were other reasons, but he was unwilling to reveal his father's fault in front of Leng Bing'er.
Leng Bing'er said: "Don't you also know martial arts?"
Duan Jianqing said: "I learned it secretly. When I was twelve years old, I found Zhang Danfeng's posthumous work at home. Unfortunately, it was just a beginner's skill. But Zhang Danfeng still has the most mysterious martial arts secret book hidden on Jianfeng!"
Leng Bing'er said: "How do you know?"
Duan Jianqing said: "At the same time as Zhang Danfeng, there is also a famous swordsman named Tie Jingxin, you probably know it too?"
Leng Bing'er said: "That's right, I heard from the elders of Shimen that he was a swordsman who was almost as famous as Zhang Danfeng at that time."
Duan Jianqing said: "No, it's quite far away. Tie Jingxin himself admitted it. He admires Zhang Danfeng's swordsmanship so much." Leng Bing'er said in surprise: "They are all from the Ming Dynasty, Tie Jingxin How do you know what you said so clearly? Is there any historical records about their gossip?"
Duan Jianqing smiled and said: "There are no historical records, but there are private records." Then he said: "Tie Jingxin's wife Mu Yan was the former princess of the Duke Mu's House of Qian in the Ming Dynasty, and Mu Yan's younger brother Mu Lin is our Duan Jianqing. The son-in-law of the Duan family. Tie Jingxin is also a relative of our Duan family!"
Leng Bing'er smiled and said: "Your Duan family's relatives, there are quite a few celebrities. But so what?"
Duan Jianqing said: "Zhang Danfeng lived in seclusion in the stone forest in his later years. One day Tie Jingxin and his wife visited him. Zhang Danfeng showed them a new set of unnamed swordsmanship. Swordsmanship. At that time, he was advised to quickly find a successor. But Zhang Danfeng had no intention of looking for disciples before the swordsmanship was fully created."
Duan Jianqing said: "Stone Forest and Tianshan Mountain are thousands of miles away, Tie Jingxin might not be free at that time, Zhang Danfeng would not bother him to recruit his disciples."
Leng Bing'er said: "Isn't Zhang Danfeng afraid that this sword technique will be lost?"
Duan Jianqing said: "Zhang Danfeng is a very open-minded person. At that time when he chatted with Tie Jingxin and his wife, he had indeed sighed. I am afraid that the time will not give me. I don't know if he can still live in the world when he succeeds in creating swordsmanship. But later he said that if he could not find a successor, before he died, he would hide his lifelong knowledge of martial arts in Jianfeng for fate. He only hoped to create something about martial arts in his lifetime, even if no one later discovered it. I can die without regret."
Leng Bing'er sighed: "Only ask about the hard work, not about the harvest. You will devote your whole life until you die. The mind of this martial arts master is indeed different from that of ordinary people."
Duan Jianqing continued: "The conversation between Tie Jingxin and Zhang Danfeng was written in his diary by his wife Mu Yan. Later, the couple died one after another, and this diary fell into the hands of Mu Yan's younger brother Mu Lin. There was a discussion in the imperial court to cut down the vassal, and Mu Lin avoided disaster to the Yue family, so this diary was left in the Duan family. I found it in the library at the same time as Zhang Danfeng's entry-level articles."
Leng Bing'er said: "In this way, if someone can discover the secret book hidden by Zhang Danfeng, wouldn't he be invincible?" Duan Jianqing said: "That may not be the case, it depends on his own attainments and whether he can comprehend the profound skills in the secret book .”
Yang Hua thought: "That's a good statement, like I just got something but useless." Duan Jianqing continued: "But no matter what, this is always a rare treasure." Leng Bing'er smiled and said: " No wonder you are so eager to come to Stone Forest."
Duan Jianqing sighed and said: "But look at this sword peak as steep as a pen, even apes may find it difficult to climb up, and I don't know where the secret book is hidden." While speaking, his eyes were always looking at Leng Bing'er.
Leng Bing'er hesitated for a moment, and said: "If I can help you, I will definitely help you. But to be honest, my lightness kung fu may be better than yours, and this Jianfeng will definitely not be able to climb up."
Duan Jianqing said: "I have an idea, do you think it is feasible? Let's twist a long rope, you hold one end of the rope, and the rope is tied around my waist, let me climb up. If you stumble and fall, you can also catch it Hold on." Leng Bing'er said: "What if you miss it and can't catch it?" Duan Jianqing said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger's cub? For this secret book, it is worth losing your life."
Leng Bing'er said: "I don't agree with you taking this risk! What does it matter if your martial arts are good or not? Maybe you will say that I am a woman's opinion, but I always feel that being a 'chivalrous' martial arts is secondary, what is important It's the word 'Xia'. Martial arts are not the best in the world, you can be a chivalrous man!"
She said this very sincerely, but Duan Jianqing was secretly displeased.It turned out that he hoped that Leng Binger would take the risk for him, and he would pick him up below.Of course he was embarrassed to say it, but he was thinking in his heart: "You are so exquisite, don't you know my intention?" Unexpectedly, Leng Bing'er didn't think of this at all, what she wanted to say was: " Brother Qing, no matter how bad your martial arts are, I still like you." Of course, she was too embarrassed to say what was on her mind.
Duan Jianqing was displeased, and said: "If you don't agree, then forget it. But you must not reveal this secret to outsiders."
Leng Binger was taken aback for a moment, her eyes turned red, and she said: "You don't believe me, why tell me this secret?"
Duan Jianqing smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, how can I not believe you? It's just that this secret is extremely important, so I can't help but say one more thing."
Leng Bing'er said: "But the secret is probably not only you and I know."
Duan Jianqing said: "That's right, I suspect that uncle also knows this secret. That's why he doesn't allow me to be his company, and sneaks here alone!"
Yang Hua hid on the sword peak, and when he heard this, he felt it was very harsh, and thought to himself: "This 'little prince' is also suspicious, I believe that the second master will never know this secret! When you think your life is in danger, the first thing you must do is to tell me this secret." Then he thought: "From the tone of this 'little prince', it seems that he pays more attention to martial arts secrets than his uncle. In the name of uncle, it is true to find the secret book!"
Leng Bing'er also seemed to disapprove, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you can't say that your uncle came here secretly, right? Didn't he tell Hero Meng? He came to Shilin to visit friends, not to find any secrets."
Duan Jianqing said coldly: "Although he is my uncle, he must be suspicious. How do you know that he is not hiding information from Meng Yuanchao?"
"Then why bother to tell Hero Meng about the trip to Stone Forest?"
"Perhaps he thought that Meng Yuanchao knew the geography of the Stone Forest, and hoped that Meng Yuanchao would be of some help to him on this trip?"
Leng Bing'er shook her head and said, "I don't dare to be as suspicious as you."
Duan Jianqing continued: "I still have doubts. There may not be a good friend of his who lives in the stone forest. Otherwise, why wouldn't he tell Meng Yuanchao the name of that friend?"
Yang Hua was able to answer Duan Jianqing's question for him.Yang Hua thought to himself: "There is nothing difficult to explain. The first and third masters live here with me, and we don't want to let outsiders know; Meng, the big devil, has a feud, and may encounter unexpected disasters at any time. Second Master knows we are here, so he has to come. But Meng Daxia bears the heavy responsibility of the Little Jinchuan Rebel Army, how can Second Master let him worry! They are good friends , if Second Master and Meng Daxia explain the truth, should Meng Daxia accompany him or not? Wouldn’t it make Meng Daxia embarrassing instead?”
Leng Bing'er said with a smile: "Do you doubt that Uncle Ling has already found that Zhang Danfeng's martial arts secret book?"
Duan Jianqing said: "It's hard to say, but I always hope to find it myself. It's strange that no one has been found yet. It seems that uncle has probably left the stone forest."
Leng Bing'er smiled and said: "If Uncle Ling has taken away the secret book, we don't need to stay in Shilin. If he doesn't find out, we can't climb up to Jianfeng with our current skills. Why don't we leave it for the future and let us practice light kung fu well?" talk later."
Duan Jianqing kept silent, Yang Hua hid behind the rock and couldn't see his movements. After a long while, Leng Binger suddenly heard a "puchi" smile and said, "Hey, you are drawing back and forth in my palm, what are you doing?"
It turned out that Duan Jianqing was reluctant to let go, and he could see the magic in Zhang Danfeng's left ink, so he grabbed Leng Binger's hand unconsciously, and made gestures in her palm, imitating the writing of the word "Jianfeng".When Leng Bing'er asked him, he just woke up like a dream.
"Look, the word 'Jianfeng', drawn with iron and silver hooks, is so powerful! Zhang Danfeng's calligraphy seems to have a lot in common with swords. You are smarter than me, so you and I can refer to each other for details," Duan Jianqing said. .
Yang Hua eavesdropped on his words, feeling quite "confidant", thinking, "This is a hero who sees the same thing. Although I can't be called a hero. As for the second master's nephew, it seems that his mind is not good enough." I'm afraid he can't be regarded as a hero." He was going to give Zhang Danfeng's secret book to Duan Jianqing, but when he thought of this, he couldn't help hesitating a little.
Not thinking about it, I only heard Leng Bing'er "puchi" smile and said: "You are really fascinated by learning martial arts. I'm a stupid girl, so I can't figure out any good ideas. But I have an idea, Don't be offended if you say it."
Duan Jianqing said: "Why are you so polite. Your knowledge must be brilliant, let's hear it."
Leng Bing'er smiled and said: "You have your body (body), and I have mine. What kind of calligraphy and swordsmanship do you want to practice, why don't you practice it in your own body? That is to say: why not practice your own?" "Physical", do you want to practice other people's "Physical"?"
Duan Jianqing was at a loss for a while, and suddenly called out: "Bingmei, these few words of yours are very similar to verses, and they have a lot of Zen ideas! Yes, if you want to become a master like Zhang Danfeng, you should be self-contained! But this realm, I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve it in my lifetime!"
Yang Hua hid on the sword peak, and when he heard Leng Binger's words, it was like being enlightened suddenly, and he suddenly realized.
Leng Binger's word "Ti" has a double meaning.It can be interpreted as "body", or "genre", "style", "sect", "technical industry" and so on that are "self-contained".
There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, and Yang Hua thought to himself: "Yes, superior attainments, whether it is calligraphy or swordsmanship, should be self-contained! If you only know how to imitate the predecessors, 'training other people's body', No matter how good you practice, you will fall behind!"
At this moment, all kinds of kung fu he had practiced, Kongtong School's Xiaoyun swordsmanship, Meng family's quick knife, Zhang Danfeng's "Unnamed Swordsmanship"... all emerged in his mind. What do they have in common? where?How to integrate these superior martial arts to create your own martial arts, "self-contained"?He seemed to have a key, but in his urgency he could not open the door.
When Yang Hua was in a state of ecstasy, suddenly he seemed to hear some sound, he thought for a moment, quickly put away all distracting thoughts, and listened to the sound.
Only a familiar voice said: "Strange, I searched the stone house just now, and there is still food in the house, but there is no one. We have almost arrived at Jianchi now, but there is still no one."
Yang Hua was so strange, he thought to himself: "Who is this man, his voice is so familiar. What is he searching my house for?"
Before thinking about it, an old voice continued to say: "Shi Sheng, are you a little scared?"
Yang Hua was taken aback, and then remembered: "It turned out to be Yang Jimeng's eldest disciple. Well, you came at the right time, let's see if you can still bully me now?"
It turned out that Yang Jimeng's disciple was named Pan Shisheng, and Yang Hua had fought against him four years ago.Four years ago, Yang Hua was only a fourteen-year-old boy, so of course his skills were not as good as his.Fortunately, Dan Qiusheng defeated Yang Jimeng in time, and Pan Shisheng could only follow his master out of the stone forest.But Yang Hua has already suffered a small loss from him.
Pan Shisheng said: "Dan Qiusheng's abilities are extraordinary, I'm really a little afraid that my teacher will be in danger."
The old voice said: "Are you afraid that the teacher will not be able to kill Dan Qiusheng, but will be killed by him instead?"
Pan Shisheng said, "I hope it won't be like this."
The old voice said: "Absolutely not! If Ling Shi is only one person, then I can't guarantee it. But you have to know that Ling Shi went with my brother Dongxuan, and there is also a big insider Ouyang Ye helped them. Brother Dongxuan's internal strength, in our Kongtong Sect, besides the senior brother who is the leader, he is the only one. Even if he fights alone, Dan Qiusheng may not be his opponent."
Pan Shisheng said: "But if they killed Dan Qiusheng, why haven't they come back after a year?"
After listening to their conversation, Yang Hua had a general understanding of the origin and purpose of these two people, and thought: "I think Pan Shisheng didn't see his master come back, so he invited Dong Xuanzi, his junior brother, to accompany him to look for it."
The old voice continued: "How do I know? Maybe they hid deep in the stone forest and didn't know we came in; maybe they went to Beijing with Ouyang Ye? But if you are really afraid, you can go first. "
Pan Shisheng seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "Master Dongming, with you here, what am I afraid of? I'm just worried about my teacher."
Yang Hua couldn't help being surprised again when he heard the words "Daoist Master Dongming".He was even more surprised than knowing that it was Yang Jimeng's disciple just now.
It turned out that although Yang Hua had never met Dong Mingzi, he had heard the third master Dan Qiusheng talk about him.According to Dan Qiusheng, there are two generations of disciples of this school, except for the head of the sect.In terms of internal strength, Dong Xuanzi is number one, and in terms of swordsmanship, Dong Mingzi is number one.The set of chain killing swordsmanship he has mastered can take care of eight swords by one person, which is equivalent to the power of eight swordsmen attacking at the same time.At that time, Dan Qiusheng laughed and said: "It's a pity that I turned my face with this uncle, otherwise I can ask him for advice, and I don't need to think hard about the lost sword skills of my school for many years."
Yang Hua recalled what his master had said, and thought to himself: "Master's words are of course polite to the elders, but at least the master thinks that he is someone who can work together on swordsmanship. It seems that this grand master's swordsmanship is indeed superb. It's gone."
One must know that in terms of swordsmanship, Yang Hua, apart from Zhang Danfeng who has been dead for three hundred years, the person he admires the most is his Third Master.If Dan Qiusheng only said that Dong Mingzi's swordsmanship is the number one in the Kongtong Sect, he doesn't take it seriously at this time; but the third master also said that he would "ask for benefit" people, he would I dare not underestimate it. "From Master's tone, the chain-killing swordsmanship seems to be inferior to the Gentle Cloud Sword Art he passed on to me, but it's a pity that I have only worked hard on the Gentle Cloud Sword Art for half a year. If I want to go against this Grand Master Uncle He is determined to be no match for him." Yang Hua thought to himself.
Dong Mingzi and Pan Shisheng spoke in a very low voice, but because Yang Hua's inner strength attainments are already quite extraordinary, and he has the ability to listen to voices on the ground, they can hear quite clearly.Duan Jianqing and Leng Bing'er beside the sword pool have not yet realized that the villain has arrived, and a catastrophe is imminent.
Leng Bing'er smiled slightly and said: "I believe in your ingenuity, so why do you have no confidence. It's better to go back and practice your 'body'. Anyway, we have no way to find Zhang Danfeng's martial arts secrets."
Duan Jianqing reluctantly said: "My uncle didn't find it. This time it's really like entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed. Okay, let's go, let's go!"
At this time, Dong Mingzi and Pan Shisheng had already walked to the entrance of the sword pool, Dong Mingzi was startled for a moment, and said, "Jingsheng, there seems to be someone inside."
Leng Bing'er also heard their footsteps, said "Hey" and said, "Brother Qing, listen, it seems that someone is coming!"
Duan Jianqing was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly shouted: "I am Jianqing, uncle, uncle, you..." He knew who else could appear in Stone Forest, besides his uncle?Unexpectedly, the words were not over yet, but the people who came were an old Taoist priest and a middle-aged man. "Who are you?" "Who are you?" Duan Jianqing and Pan Shisheng yelled at the same time!
Dong Mingzi laughed and said, "So you are the young prince of the Duan family in Dali, and Duan Choushi is also your uncle, right? Little prince, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Duan Jianqing was surprised: "Please ask about the name of the priest. We don't seem to have seen it before, how did the priest know me?"
Dong Mingzi laughed, and said: "The little prince is the most noble person in Dali. Even if the poor Taoist is ignorant, he doesn't know you little prince! What's more, Uncle Ling is famous in the world, and the poor Taoist has long admired him. That’s right. Pindao is Dong Mingzi of the Kongtong sect, did Uncle Ling tell you about me?”
Duan Jianqing was taken aback, and thought to himself: "Judging from his tone, he and uncle seem to just admire each other and have never met before. How could he know who I am? Could it be what Binger and I just said He heard it already?" He shook his head and said, "My uncle rarely talks about martial arts figures with me. Please forgive me for asking why the chief came here?"
Dong Mingzi smiled and said: "It seems that I should ask the little prince." The implication seems to be that he came to Stone Forest for granted.
Duan Jianqing was stunned, only to hear Dong Mingzi say calmly: "The owner here is Master Nephew Pindao."
Duan Jianqing thought: "It turns out that uncle is not lying when he mentioned Shilin visiting friends." Startled for a while, he asked: "Who is Nephew Ling?"
Dong Mingzi said: "My lord, do you really not know or fake?"
Duan Jianqing heard his strange question, frowned, with a displeased expression, and said: "Why did the Taoist priest think I would know? I really don't know!"
Dong Mingzi said slowly: "My nephew's name is Dan Qiusheng. As far as I know, Uncle Ling and him are very good friends. It's a pity that Uncle Ling came to Kongtong Mountain once, but it happened that I was not on the mountain, so I missed it." Let’s meet. Little prince, are you here to find Uncle Ling?”
Duan Jianqing knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he said, "That's right. But I didn't know that my uncle came to look for your nephew."
Dong Mingzi said: "Okay, even if you didn't know beforehand, then you know the news about them now, right?" His words gradually became impolite.
Duan Jianqing was full of displeasure, and said: "I don't know! I'm sorry, I have to go, please forgive me for not accompanying me!"
Pan Shisheng shouted suddenly: "Wait a minute!" He exchanged glances with Dong Mingzi.Dong Mingzi smiled and said, "Yes, you should get to the point with him."
Duan Jianqing snorted and said, "Who are you? What advice do you have?"
Pan Shisheng said: "Do you know the whereabouts of my master?"
Duan Jianqing said: "Who knows who your master is?"
Pan Shisheng said: "My master is Yang Jimeng, you really don't know?" Duan Jianqing was fine when he said this, but Leng Binger was taken aback.
You must know that although Yang Jimeng hides his name and hides in the stone forest, there are very few people in the world who know him, but Xiao Qingfeng, a famous Qingcheng sect, and Leng Tieqiao from Xiaojinchuan, and others know that Meng Shentong has this disciple Yes, I just don't know that he is hiding in the stone forest.Leng Bing'er once heard Xiao, Leng and others talk about Yang Jimeng and his master, and knew that he was a big devil in the world, but now she suddenly heard that the man in front of her was Yang Jimeng's apprentice, How can I not be surprised.
But Duan Jianqing really didn't know, he still said indifferently: "Who is Yang Jimeng? I've never heard of it!"
Pan Shisheng sneered and said, "You don't know anything, but you can't say you don't know where Zhang Danfeng's martial arts secrets are hidden?"
"Zhang Danfeng's martial arts secret book" came out of Pan Shisheng's mouth, and Duan Jianqing couldn't help but be taken aback.
"What secret book? I, I don't even know what you're talking about..." Duan Jianqing said dully.
Pan Shisheng sneered and said, "My boy, don't pretend to be foolish! We all heard what you just said to this girl!"
Duan Jianqing didn't know how powerful the other party was, and thought to himself: "The secret book has been leaked, anyway, we have to fight with them!" So he said proudly: "I didn't say that, you must have heard it wrong. Get out of the way!"
Dong Mingzi said lightly: "My lord, I advise you to hand it over. You must know that his master had lived in Stone Forest for several years before Dan Qiu was born, just to find this secret book. This is How can you take his property without authorization?" He thought Duan Jianqing had already found it.
Duan Jianqing said angrily: "If I say I don't know, I don't know. How can you be so unreasonable! Okay, do you think I'm really easy to bully?" With a sound of swish, he drew his sword out of its sheath.
洞冥子哈哈笑道：“小王爷，你要和我打架？再过十年，你才来吧？”段剑青一时未懂他的意思，说道：“你不敢和我打架，那就让开！”
盘石生笑道：“道长，你太抬举这小子了。他再练十年，也不配做你老的对手。这杯罚酒，还是让我灌他喝吧！”
声出人到，段剑青唰的一剑向他刺去。盘石生在剑脊轻轻一弹，段剑青只觉掌心一阵奇寒，冷得长剑也都掌握不牢，当啷坠地！
段剑青大惊之下，左掌一翻，一招“拦江截斗”，护胸迎敌。盘石生哪将他放在眼内，什么招式也不用，径自向他抓去。
但双掌相交，盘石生却是不禁“噫”了一声。原来段剑青的本领虽属寻常，但内功的基础却是得自张丹枫的真传。盘石生随随便便的那么一抓，竟然给他的掌力荡开。
盘石生笑道：“想不到你这位小王爷倒是还有两下子！”左掌穿出，倏的抓着了段剑青的手腕一扭。
他刚才把段剑青估计过低，此际却又估计过高了。这一抓已是用上了几分修罗阴煞功。
段剑青冷得难熬，痛得难受。一声狂嚎，面无人色。
冷冰儿喝道：“放开他！”明知不是敌人对手，却是奋不顾身地扑上前去。
盘石生笑道：“我倒舍不得伤害你这样如花似玉的美人儿呢！”说时迟，那时快，冷冰儿已是一口气向他攻了七招。青城派的剑法非同泛泛，盘石生不想伤她，倒是给她攻得手忙脚乱。盘石生怒道：“好，你刺吧！”抓起段剑青，作个旋风舞，把他迎向冷冰儿的剑尖。
就在盘石生哈哈大笑声中，剑峰上忽地爆出霹雳似的一声大喝：“住手！”只见一条人影捷如飞鸟般的从剑峰上跳下来。不用说这个人就是杨华了。
他人在半空，暗器先发。暗器是一枚小小的石子。
盘石生做梦也想不到竟有飞将军从天而降，陡闻一声霹雳似的喝声，心头大震。眼神一乱，那枚石子已是打到他的面前，对准了他眉心的太阳穴。要躲闪也来不及了。
忽听得“铮”的一声，那枚石子一分为二，两边飞开。原来是洞冥子掷出一枚铜钱，和杨华打来的这枚石子恰好碰个正着。铜钱比小石子更轻，却把石子打碎，功力显然是在杨华之上了。
虽然没有打着盘石生，但石子就在他的眼前爆裂，却是不免令得他的眼神心神都是不禁为之一乱。冷冰儿乘机一剑从他背后刺来，盘石生连忙伏地一滚，他这么一滚，当然是不能不把段剑青放开了。
那枚石子一分为二，余势未衰，擦过冷冰儿鬓边，痛得她火辣辣的好不难受。冷冰儿不顾疼痛，抱起了段剑青慌忙就跑。
盘石生也是吓出一身冷汗，要不是洞冥子及时发出铜钱，碰开石子，他的太阳穴纵能避开，眼睛一定给石子打瞎了。他睁开眼睛之时，只见杨华已是站在他的面前，冷笑道：“盘石生，你还认得我么？”
盘石生怔了一怔，蓦然醒起，喝道：“好呀，原来是你这个小子！”洞冥子说道：“这小子是谁？”盘石生道：“就是丹丘生那个姓杨的徒弟，算起来还是你老的徒孙徒辈呢。”洞冥子说道：“他的师父早已被逐本门，我可没有这个徒孙，你不用顾全我的面子。好，你小心应付他吧！”
洞冥子自视甚高，杨华的武功虽然好得出乎他的意料之外，初时也还不怎样放在心上。但在知道杨华是丹丘生的徒弟之后，却是不禁好生惊异了。心里想道：“听说丹丘生练成了本派失传的蹑云剑法，另外还不知道练成了什么奇妙的武功。徒弟如此，师父可知，恐怕不是谣传的了。好，我且从这小子身上察看他的功夫。”他一来要从杨华的身上，察看丹丘生练成了一些什么他不知道的本派功夫；二来他自视甚高，辈份高出杨华两辈，自是不能和他动手。但他嘱咐盘石生“小心应付”，这“小心”二字，已是透露出他的顾虑，顾虑盘石生不是杨华的对手。
盘石生认出杨华。心中的怯意倒是消了几分，想道：“不过三年功夫，我不信这小子的本领就能在我之上。敢情他只练好了一套轻功和一手暗器，就用来吓我。”
杨华哈哈一笑，说道：“很好，你居然还记得我。那么三年前你欠我的那笔债，想必你也未曾忘记吧？”
盘石生听见洞冥子叫他“小心”，心中已是大不舒服，一听这话，不由得勃然大怒，大喝道：“你这不知死活的小子，向阎罗王讨债去吧！”怒气冲冲，便即一掌打下。他若然不是心粗气躁，或许还能和杨华斗个三二十招，这么样轻敌急进，可就马上吃亏了。
杨华有意叫他吃个苦头，身形纹丝不动，直到敌掌离身不到三寸，方才猛一侧身，横掌往上一削。
盘石生正自想：“十招之内我若打发不了这个小子，只怕要给洞冥子轻视了。”见杨华不躲不闪，出掌接招，心头大喜：“你这小子居然敢和我硬碰，那是最妙不过！”原来他这一掌已是用上了修罗阴煞功。哪知心念未已，双掌齐飞，只听得咔嚓一声，盘石生的一条右臂已是脱了臼。
原来杨华使的这一招乃是孟家的快刀化成掌法的，后发制人，正是深得刀谱中“以我为主，以嫩辅老，以急辅迟，以静制动，以客犯主”的精义。盘石生的本领虽也不弱，却怎识得这样奇妙的以掌化刀的绝招？
不过杨华接了这掌，却也不禁打了一个冷颤，退了两步，牙关格格作响。原来他虽然苦练一年，内功毕竟还是未够火候。“修罗阴煞功”的寒毒直接侵入了他的身体，虽然禁受得起，寒意亦已直透心头。
盘石生见他如此，侥幸之心登时油然而生，想道：“我若是给这小子打败，莫说眼前就要给洞冥子看轻，以后在人前也抬不起头。看来他是抵御不了我的阴煞功，好，我拼着左臂再伤，无论如何，也要将他毙于掌下！”
杨华打了个冷颤，忽地想起“玄功要诀”之中有个运气驱除邪毒的法门，依法施为，运气三转，瞬息之间，便觉得身子暖烘烘的好不舒服。杨华大喜，想道：“祖师的玄功果然奇妙，待会儿斗那牛鼻子臭道士，恐怕也未必就准是我输了。”精神一振，正好盘石生又是一掌打来。
盘石生忍着疼痛，喝道：“好小子，我和你拼了！”一个“狮子摇头”，左掌一翻，使出一招“羚羊挂角”，照杨华面门打来，他右臂受伤，修罗阴煞功并无影响，这招“羚羊挂角”，使得凶狠非常！
杨华喝道：“来得好！”双掌合拢迎上前去，又是硬碰硬接。这一招是段仇世传给他的“起手式”，但如今他的功力远非昔比，平常无奇的“起手式”威力亦是大得出奇。只听得“咔嚓”一声，盘石生杀猪般的狂嗥怒吼，倒在地上打滚，左臂也给扭脱了臼了。
杨华哈哈笑道：“三年前你打我一掌，如今我已连本带利，加倍讨回，饶了你吧。”这次他接了盘石生的修罗阴煞功，立即便能发声大笑，而且笑声宏亮，显见他已是不受寒毒所侵。
洞冥子在旁观战，看得惊奇不已。他本来料到盘石生不是杨华对手，却想不到他会输得这么快，不过两招，双臂都脱了臼。心里想道：“奇怪，这小子使的这两招似乎不是本门武功？他年纪轻轻，内功又何以就能练得如此精纯，居然能够破解盘石生的修罗阴煞功呢？”
冷冰儿抱住段剑青逃走，此时刚要逃出剑峰的入口，洞冥子喝道：“给我留下！”他怕段剑青带了张丹枫的武功秘笈逃走，心想盘石生反正已受了伤，过一会儿再收拾杨华也还不迟。
冷冰儿冷笑道：“你以武林前辈自居，说过的话算不算数？”
洞冥子哼了一声道：“我说过什么话？”
冷冰儿道：“你不是说我们非得再练十年，不配和你作对手么？”
洞冥子哈哈一笑，说道：“我用不着和你们动手，也能将你们留下！”说话之间，飞身跃起，几个起伏，已是追到冷冰儿后面，大袖一挥，拂出一股劲风，冷冰儿踉踉跄跄的斜窜几步，险些跌倒。
杨华审察形势，要赶上去救他们二人恐怕已来不及，灵机一动，忽地哈哈大笑，说道：“盘石生，你不服气，可以叫你的师父找我报仇，我要叫他知道天外有天，人外有人，莫以为练成了什么第九重的修罗阴煞功，就可以称霸武林了。好，你好好养伤吧，我可恕不奉陪了！”一个转身，不是向段、冷的那边跑去，却向剑峰的另一边出口逃跑。
洞冥子正在戏弄段、冷二人，听了这话，不觉骤吃一惊，蓦然省起：“这小子的口气这样大，我倒不知道当今之世有哪一派的内功可以破解第九重的修罗阴煞功的。”跟着便自想道：“这小子的本领好得出奇，按常理来说，像他这样年纪，本派内功练得多好，也是决计抵御不了修罗阴煞功的，嗯，莫非他、他已经取得张丹枫的秘笈？”再又想到，杨华留在石林几年，刚才又是在剑峰上面跑下来的，他找到秘笈的可能性当然比段剑青大得多了。
“我真糊涂，怎的想不到他。这小子熟悉石林地理，莫要给他跑了。”本来洞冥子的算盘是下一步才收拾杨华的，此时在患得患失的心情之下，却是不由他不改变主意了。他想段剑青已受伤，冷冰儿一个年轻的姑娘背着他逃跑，还怕她能跑到哪儿？收拾了杨华，他们也未必跑得出石林。
洞冥子心念电转，脚步也飞快的朝着杨华所跑的方向追去。
杨华故意放慢脚步，让他追上。回过头来，说道：“你要和我动手吗？”
洞冥子喝道：“把张丹枫的武功秘笈给我留下，饶你不死！”
杨华道：“你是崆峒派的长老洞冥子吧？”
洞冥子道：“是又怎样？”
杨华淡淡说道：“我的师父虽然给你们逼走，你到底还是我的长辈，我让你三招！”
武林规矩，辈份不同的人交手，自然是长辈让招。如今洞冥子的辈份比杨华高出两辈，杨华却颠倒过来，要让洞冥子三招，洞冥子焉能不怒？当下哼了一声，喝道：“好个狂妄的小子，你既然不想活了，我就成全你吧！”说到“成全”二字，呼的便是一抓将下来。
杨华正是要他动怒，一觉劲风飒然，身形便似水蛇游走，在间不容发之际，避开了他这一抓。
洞冥子吃了一惊，心道：“他这身法倒是古怪得很，好像是本派失传的蹑云步法。”崆峒派失传的蹑云剑法据说是以飘忽见长，有一套相应的步法和剑法配合的。洞冥子虽然没有见过古谱，但古谱的一鳞半爪散见于其他典籍之中，洞冥子还是略有所知的。
洞冥子固然吃惊，杨华这一惊也是非同小可。原来洞冥子的指尖从他背心划过，未触及他的肌肤，已是有如火棒烙过他的背脊一般，令他感到火辣辣的作痛。要不是洞冥子由于给他激怒，进招稍为急躁，这一抓就能将他抓住。杨华吃了一惊，心里想道：“怪不得师父对他也是颇为佩服，他的剑法本门第一，内功还不是本门最强的一个，但这一抓未曾抓着已是如此厉害，当真给他抓着，那还了得？”
说时迟那时快，洞冥子已是如影随形，跟踪扑到。他见识了杨华的本领，这次出招，不敢再有丝毫大意，一招两式，掌拳兼施，掌势笼罩住杨华身形，左拳猛的捣出。这一招有个名堂，叫做“天罗地网”。掌势自上而下，有如天罗；拳势自下兜上，有如地网。掌主柔，拳主刚，柔是虚，刚是实。拳掌兼施，刚柔互济，虚实并用。正是从他的看家本领“连环夺命剑法”中变化出来的。“看你这小子还能逃得出我的天罗地网么？”洞冥子心想。
只听得“嗤”的一声，声如裂帛。杨华的衣裳给他抓破，但还是滑似游鱼一样，从他的“天罗地网”中逃出来了。饶是洞冥子那么高明的武功，连他的身法都未曾看得清楚，不知怎的，那霸道之极的一拳已是打了个空。
杨华叫道：“糟糕，还好！”身形一晃，“滑”出数丈开外，踢起一片尘沙。
杨华说过要让对方三招，他踢起尘砂，迷住对方视力，可说是有点取巧。不过他并无还手，却也不算食言。
洞冥子只道他是存心戏弄，越发大怒，喝道：“狂妄小子，狡狯小贼，今日我不把你毙于掌下，誓不为人！”
声如霹雳，掌似奔雷。只听得“轰隆”一声，身边的一棵大树，竟然给洞冥子的掌力震得倒了下来。洞冥子喝道：“好小子，这是你自己找死，可休怪我！”只道杨华给他的掌力所震，不死也得重伤。
杨华眼睛发黑，只觉胸中气血翻涌，五脏六腑都好像移转位置一般。连忙吸一口气，用张丹枫秘笈上的内功心法，凝聚真气。洞冥子话犹未了，只见尘雾散开，杨华已是站在他的面前，气定神闲，哪里像是受伤的模样。
杨华哈哈一笑，说道：“太师叔，晚辈已经让你三招，侥幸可还没死。让了三招，本门情份我已是尽了心意，恕我不能再让你了！”
本来以洞冥子的身份，三招打不倒一个晚辈，就该罢手。再也不能和对方为难。但这口气他怎咽得下，心道：“在这石林里只有盘石生一人，今日之事，他是不会说出去的。我杀了这小子，也不怕会给天下英雄耻笑。”当下手按剑柄，但一时之间，却还是不好意思便即拔剑出鞘。
杨华却似知他心意，似笑非笑地接着说道：“洞冥道长，你想杀我还是用剑的好。一柄不行用够两柄！”他不称“太师叔”改呼“道长”，表示师门之义已绝。
洞冥子老羞成怒，唰的拔剑出鞘，一个剑鞘，藏的却是可以分开来的股剑，剑身很薄，明晃晃的有如一泓秋水，一看就知锋利非凡。洞冥子双剑掣在手中，冷笑说道：“料想你的师父已经对你说过本门的连环夺命剑法了，你乐得说风凉话儿，可惜，你只凭口舌之利未必保得住你的小命，我不和你斗口，进招吧！”
原来连环夺命剑法繁复之极，本来是几个人同使布成剑阵的，最少也得两个人合使，方能曲尽其妙。但洞冥子在这套剑法上浸淫了几十年，他一个人就能把连环夺命剑展开。不过由于剑法太过繁复，必须使用双剑。
杨华说道：“好，这次你让我先行出招，也算公道。看招！”剑尖一挺，好像自己练招一样，目光注视剑尖，缓缓划了一圈，剑势圈着自己的身子。
洞冥子眉头一皱，心道：“这是什么剑法？”喝道：“你弄什么玄虚？”杨华笑说道：“你急什么？”霎时间，剑光闪处，已是由虚化实，一招“白鹤剔翎”，倏的便指向洞冥子咽喉！
杨华使的正是蹑云剑法中极其精妙的一招，先以虚招扰乱对方眼神，攻他个措手不及。但洞冥子火候何等老到，他虽然不识这套剑法，一看杨华手势，已知他是由虚化实。当下将计就计，身躯陡然一缩，杨华的剑尖堪堪刺到，扑了个空，重心骤失，不觉一个踉跄。说时迟，那时快，洞冥子倏地出招，剑挟金风，已是向着杨华的胸膛刺过来了。
杨华叫声“不好！”倒持剑柄，剑尖反指自身。洞冥子怔了一怔，心里想道：“这小子打不过我，莫非想要自杀不成？”哪知又是一招极其古怪的剑法。他的剑划了一道弧度甚小的半个圆圈，突然从肘底穿出，竟是刺向洞冥子意想不到的方位。
洞冥子“噫”了一声，沉剑一挑，“穿针引线”，解招还招。心道：“莫非他使的就是蹑云剑法，果然奇妙。”内力直贯剑尖，刚刚几剑，把杨华的剑势压缩得只能在内圈防守。洞冥子喝道：“好小子，看你还能有什么古怪的门道？算你是孙行者，终须也逃不出如来佛祖的手心！”
杨华冷冷说道：“是么？”剑走轻灵，挡了两招，突然高高举起，把长剑当作了大刀来使，劈斫下来。洞冥子冷笑说道：“你这小子活得不耐烦了！”要知剑术重在轻灵迅捷，哪有这样硬劈硬斫的道理？这样打法，和本领相等的交手已是犯忌，何况是高低手过招？
洞冥子使了一招“举火撩天”，力贯剑尖，满以为这一撩就可以将对方的剑削为两段，不料双剑一交，杨华的剑忽然滑过一边，剑势陡转，又是从他意想不到方位刺来。
原来杨华这三招一气呵成，前面两招用的是蹑云剑法，后面这招却是从孟家快刀化出来的。深得“举重若轻，以拙胜巧”的妙理，这是孟家快刀的“变格”，洞冥子如何识得？尚幸他的功力固然高出杨华，剑术也是非常老到，一觉不妙，立即变招，杨华稍稍占了一点便宜，也还不能脱出他的剑光笼罩。
洞冥子心道：“这小子所学甚杂，最后这招决非本门剑法。不知是否张丹枫秘笈上的剑法？今日倘若杀不了这个小子，再过三年，恐怕不是他的对手。”对杨华精妙的剑术，又羡又妒，杀机陡起，“连环夺命剑”立即霍霍展开！
杨华真实的本领和洞冥子相比毕竟差得还远，他换了几种剑法，饶是瞬息百变，仍然没冲出对手的剑圈。
