Chapter 10 The tenth round of chivalry

Zong Shenlong caught up and shouted abruptly: "I want you to know how powerful my Fusang sect is!" With a move of "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun", the sword shot out like an arrow, stabbing Song Tengxiao's big acupoint in the back of his heart. Song Tengxiao was really not weak either, he jumped and just caught the long sword falling from the air.As soon as his foot touched the ground, he immediately used the heel of his right foot as the axis, turned half a circle, cut the backhand sword obliquely to receive the move, and shouted: "I will fight with you!"

This is a style of play that hurts both sides. Song Tengxiao knows that he will lose to the opponent, but no matter what, he must not leave the enemy without damage. Seeing that the two sides are on the verge of an arrow, they are about to explode!As a result of this "one touch", Song Tengxiao was bound to be seriously injured, and Zong Shenlong would inevitably be injured, and even minor injuries would be the result. Lin Wushuang woke up from his confusion when he heard Zong Shenlong's loud shout. Qu Ran was startled and immediately jumped out. Just when Zong Shenlong's long sword was about to pierce Song Tengxiao's back heart, and Song Tengxiao was also bending his horse and bending his bow, ready to wait, when he suddenly saw a white light, Lin Wushuang came like a bird, inserted between the two of them.

Lin Wushuang walked with the sword, before Zong Shenlong could clearly see who was coming, she swiped the sword, pointing to Zong Shenlong's "Jianjing Point" like lightning. This move is exactly what must be saved when attacking the enemy! Zong Shenlong is a great expert in martial arts. Although he didn't see who was coming, he knew the power of this move. His heart trembled, so he had no choice but to relax Song Tengxiao. , to resolve Lin Wushuang's fierce sword move first. Song Tengxiao was turning half a circle around the heel of his right foot. Before he could stand firmly on his feet, he was shocked by Zong Shenlong's air splitting palm, and couldn't help but staggered back three steps.

During the moment when he retreated three steps in a row, Lin Wushuang and Zong Shenlong had just passed three moves. These three moves were extremely fast, Lin Wushuang used offense as defense, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, and resolved Zong Shenlong's first two moves.But the third trick Zong Shenlong used the "Three Folding Waves of the Dragon Gate", Lin Wushuang couldn't avoid it, so he had no choice but to accept it. Hearing the sound of "Dang", Lin Wushuang took three steps diagonally, Zong Shenlong's figure flickered, He also couldn't help but retreated a foot away.

Song Tengxiao saw it clearly, couldn't help being surprised and happy, and secretly called out "ashamed!" He thought to himself: "This Miss Lin's swordsmanship is really far better than mine!" fever. Little did he know that Lin Wushuang secretly called out "Ashamed", thinking in his heart: "If Song Daxia hadn't fought him and exhausted his strength, I'm afraid that even if I can resolve the third trick, I will lose. undoubtedly." Zong Shenlong saw clearly that the other party was just a young girl, and he was even more surprised, thinking: "How come this yellow-haired girl's original swordsmanship seems to be superior to mine!" Go up, press the sword and shout: "Who are you, even a yellow-haired girl like you dares to meddle in my own business!"

Lin Wushuang turned over with a kite, turned to Zong Shenlong, and said lightly: "Don't Uncle Zong recognize your niece?" When Lin Wushuang turned around, his clothes fluttered, and a flying fish embroidered on the corner of his clothes leaping from the waves caught Zong Shenlong's eyes. Zong Shenlong was taken aback, suddenly realized, and thought: "I'm really confused, why didn't I think that she is the daughter of the owner of Feiyu Island?" It turns out that the Fusang school was founded overseas by the Tang Dynasty martial arts master, the bearded man. There are only fragments of fragments left in the genealogy, even the disciples of the Fusang School have been scattered overseas, and they have evolved into three branches, each doing their own thing.Therefore, it often happens that people in the sect meet but do not know each other.

However, Zong Shenlong and Lin Wushuang's father Feiyu Island Master knew each other. The distant ancestor of the Lin family was a disciple of Mou Canglang, the second generation patriarch of the Fusang School. There are three incomplete boxing scriptures and sword manuals of the school, which have been passed down from generation to generation. The family moved to a deserted island. After several years, dozens of fishermen gradually gathered to develop the deserted island together. Farmers and fishers turned the deserted island into a fishing village with ample food and clothing. Living well, Lin Beiming named this deserted island "Flying Fish Island". Since several pirate attacks were repelled, the name of Lin Beiming, the owner of Feiyu Island, began to spread overseas.

At that time, Zong Shenlong was claiming to be a master of a school, traveling across the sea, he rarely met opponents, and his reputation was very famous.A pirate who was defeated by Lin Beiming ran to beg him, baited him with huge profits, and begged him for revenge.Zong Shenlong is both greedy for money and fame, he was afraid that others would say he couldn't mess with the owner of Feiyu Island, so he finally persuaded the pirate leader and agreed. But Zong Shenlong is also an old, treacherous and slippery person. When he came to Feiyu Island, he only said that he came here to attract fame, and wanted to try three moves and two styles with the owner of Feiyu Island, and prove each other's martial arts.He never mentioned that he was helping others and taking revenge on behalf of his friends.In this way, if you win, you can claim credit from the pirate leader, and if you lose, you can preserve your dignity.

As soon as they exchanged hands, they immediately knew that they were members of this faction, but before thirty moves were reached, Zong Shenlong lost the move.Zong Shenlong had an idea, and after losing, he immediately called him "Senior Brother", and made up a set of excuses, saying that he had long suspected that Lin Beiming, the owner of Flying Fish Island, was from the same sect, so he came here to compete with him.Island Master Flying Fish believed it was true, laughed out loud, and even talked with him on the same level, and recognized him as his junior.And he did not hesitate to point out his own knowledge of martial arts to him, which benefited him a lot.

When Lin Beiming and Zong Shenlong "confirmed" their martial arts, Lin Wushuang was also present to watch.But at that time Lin Wushuang was only a girl under ten years old, so she recognized Zong Shenlong as soon as she met, but Zong Shenlong didn't know her. At this moment, Lin Wushuang showed the flying fish mark on his clothes, Zong Shenlong of course knew who she was. After Zong Shenlong knew Lin Wushuang's identity, he couldn't feel his heart trembling, he forced a haha, and said, "So it's Wushuang's niece, she's so tall, even uncle wouldn't recognize you! Well, I heard that your father is also here It’s a pity that I don’t know where you live, so I couldn’t visit you.”

Lin Wushuang said indifferently: "Daddy has already closed the door and sealed the sword, and dare not have Uncle Lao's help." Zong Shenlong couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, and thought: "As long as the old man Lin Beiming doesn't come, why should I be afraid of this girl?" It turned out that he just pretended to greet Lin Wushuang's father because he wanted to listen to her Mouth.Since her father had already closed the door and sealed the knife, of course he would not come out to meddle in other people's affairs. However, he just let go of the "one" stone in his heart, and it doesn't mean that he can completely relieve his worries.If Lin Wushuang and Song Tengxiao join forces to deal with him, he still has no certainty of winning. Zong Shenlong had some scruples and didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he slapped haha ​​again, pressed his sword and said: "This is really a flood that has washed down the Dragon King Temple, and my family can't recognize my family. Wushuang niece, forgive me for asking you abruptly, Who is this Song of yours, and you want to help him against me?" Lin Wushuang said: "I just met Song Daxia." Zong Shenlong said: "In this case, why do you bend your arms outward instead? Instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, I will always be your elder!" Lin Wushuang said: "Uncle Zong, you are half right." Zong Shenlong was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What do you mean?" Lin Wushuang said slowly: "That's right, you met my father and are much older than me, so I should respect you as an elder. However, you are not an elder of my sect!" Zong Shenlong's face changed, and he said in a high voice: "What, you dare to be arrogant, even the elders of this sect? Your father once discussed friendship with my peers and called me as a junior! How dare you say that I Isn’t it from the Fusang sect?” Lin Wushuang said coldly: "It used to be yes, but it is no longer the case now. Uncle Zong, you accused me of being against you just now, so let me tell you frankly now, I have no intention of going against you at all, I just don't want to let you Outsiders are using the name of the Fusang Sect!" Zong Shenlong jumped into a rage and shouted: "You, you are so bold! The oldest members of the Fusang Sect are your father and me. How dare you say that I used the name of the Fusang Sect?" Lin Wushuang looked calm, and said: "No matter how senior you are, you have to obey the punishment of the head. Didn't head Mou already expelled you from the sect? This news was told to me by Jin Daxia, is it true? " It turned out that Mou Zongtao, the leader of the Fusang Sect, was willing to be used by the Qing court because of his greed for profit, so he was expelled from the sect three years ago.At that time, Zong Shenlong had fought fiercely with him and was defeated by the enemy, so he had no choice but to accept his punishment.Jin Zhuliu was one of the witnesses present at the time. Zong Shenlong sneered and said, "The Fusang Sect didn't have a head, and Mou Zongtao was the head of the sect. Do you know that?" Lin Wushuang said: "I only know that the disciples of the Fusang Sect have already recognized him as the head. Even if there are one or two unworthy disciples, those who disobey orders, they will not be able to overturn the public opinion of the same sect." Zong Shenlong snorted, and said: "Not necessarily! But I won't argue with you—" At this point, he suddenly laughed three times, and then continued: "Niece Xian, what do you say to Mou? The Chief Sect will do his best to defend it, but unfortunately your cousin, the Chief Sect Master Mou, has failed you for your kindness!" Lin Wushuang's complexion suddenly turned pale, and he said, "Uncle Zong, what do you mean?" Zong Shenlong sneered and said, "Don't you know that Mou Zongtao has married someone else and married your good friend Lian Caihong?" This sentence hurt Lin Wushuang's heart like a sharp arrow. It turned out that Lin Wushuang's heart originally belonged to her cousin Mou Zongtao. The reason why she and her father came to the Central Plains was to find Mou Zongtao. A bitter memory suddenly came back to her mind. Lin Wushuang remembered that she heard the news of her cousin's marriage at the wedding banquet of Jin Zhuliu and Shi Hongying. When Lin Wushuang came to the Central Plains, he never found his cousin, but by chance, he met Jin Zhuliu and his wife.After talking with each other, she knew that Jin Zhuliu was her cousin's friend, so she asked Jin Zhuliu to visit her cousin on his behalf. She went to Jin Zhuliu's wedding that day and inquired about the news by the way.Ai Ai refused to tell her during Jin Zhuliu's period, and then at the wedding banquet, a guest who didn't know where she was was revealed the news to her. How embarrassing is it that I got such sad news at a wedding banquet where other people were happy?There is no need to describe Lin Wushuang's sadness in detail. Lin Wushuang still clearly remembered how she suppressed her tears at that time so that she did not lose her manners at the wedding banquet.She also remembered how Shi Hongying, who was a bride, let her live up to the golden hour of the wedding night, accompanying her and comforting her until midnight. It took time to heal her wounds with great difficulty, but now Zong Shenlong's words like poisonous arrows pierced her wounds again. Lin Wushuang gritted his teeth, and said in a trembling voice, "Zong, Uncle Zong, you, don't talk nonsense and stir up trouble!" Zong Shenlong laughed and said: "Niece Xian, you can't hide your thoughts from me! You must know that your cousin is called my teacher, and I will never allow her to marry Mou Zongtao as she wishes! As long as you are willing to marry me Cooperate, I'll get your husband back!" Lin Wushuang was so angry that he trembled like a flower branch, pointing at Zong Shenlong and cursed, "You, you, I respect you as an uncle, if you talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!" Zong Shenlong only said that Lin Wushuang's heart had already been touched, but she suddenly turned her face away, stared blankly, and said with a sneer, "This is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know good people, Wushuang, think again, think about it. We The interests are the same!" Lin Wushuang couldn't hold back the tears welling up in his eyes, he drew his sword again and shouted, "You, you get lost!" Song Tengxiao, who was stupefied listening to it at the side, looked at Qu Ran, and couldn't help but also said: "Dogs don't grow ivory in their mouths, Miss Lin, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as him!" Zong Shenlong sneered and said: "So you already have another—" Lin Wushuang stabbed at him with a swipe of his sword, and Song Tengxiao followed with a move of "Kenhan Fucha". At the same time, it pointed to the vital point of Zong Shenlong! Zong Shenlong thought to himself that he was not sure of winning, and when Lin Wushuang was still in a state of mind, he flipped over with a kite and jumped a few feet away, sneering: "Okay, I'll go, I'll go, if you don't listen to good words, don't regret it! " Song Tengxiao said: "Miss Lin, it's thanks to you tonight." Lin Wushuang wiped away tears and said, "Song Daxia, I should go too." Song Tengxiao originally wanted to keep her, but because of what Zong Shenlong said just now, it was inconvenient to say, so he said after a while: "Miss Lin, where are you going?" Lin Wushuang said: "I'll go back to Jin Daxia. That's right, if you see Meng Daxia, please convey Jin Daxia's feelings for him." Song Tengxiao said: "Don't bother, miss, if I see brother Meng, I will definitely come to thank him. Hero Jin is here, please greet him as well." Lin Wushuang was not in the mood to talk to Song Tengxiao, after a few hasty confessions, he saluted and left.At this time, the slanting moon is sinking in the west, and it is time for the dawn to be slightly dew. Song Tengxiao couldn't help sighing secretly: "Life is unsatisfactory and things often go wrong. I didn't expect this Miss Lin to feel pity for me!" Song Tengxiao was quietly independent on the deserted flower path in the abandoned garden of Yun's family. After a long time, when he looked up, a red glow appeared in the sky. "Today is a good day, I should go home too." Song Tengxiao thought to himself. I don't know if it was because he found someone who had the same misfortune as him, when he stepped out of Yun's house, his mood was not as heavy as when he came. Song Tengxiao came home suddenly, his mother was shocked by his dusty and haggard appearance. "Mom, why did I arrive late. I'll go to Brother Meng first, but I can't find him. It's raining, and I soiled my clothes in the Yun family's garden." "Oh, so you went to find Meng Yuanchao. Why didn't you go home first?" "Mom, don't blame me. I have something urgent to ask Brother Meng. After I change my clothes, I will tell you slowly." "Of course Mom won't blame you, it's a pity you don't know—" "what do you know?" "Don't change your clothes in a hurry, Mom also has something important to tell you." "What?" Song Tengxiao couldn't help being surprised when he heard his mother's nonsensical words. Mrs. Song said: "We have a guest at home, guess who it is?" Song Tengxiao said: "I can't guess, but it must not be Brother Meng?" Mrs. Song said: "How can you see it?" Song Tengxiao said: "If it was Brother Meng, wouldn't he run out quickly when he heard my voice? ?” Mrs. Song smiled slightly and said, "You are right, this is an unexpected guest." Song Tengxiao said: "Who is this guest? Mom, just tell me, so that I won't have to guess riddles here." Song Tengxiao knew that it wasn't Meng Yuanchao, so how could he be in the mood to "guess riddles"? Mrs. Song smiled again, and said: "This person..." The words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back suddenly, but said: "I won't tell you for now, you come with me." Song Tengxiao was taken aback for a moment, and said: "I wear this dirty clothes to meet guests?" Mrs. Song said: "What does it matter, the guests are waiting to see you!" Mrs. Song was originally a lady of every family. After marrying into the Song family, she took care of her husband and taught her children, and passed on the family with poems and rites.The education of the son has always attached great importance to appearance.So Song Tengxiao couldn't help being quite surprised when he heard his mother tell him to go see a guest without changing clothes. Song Tengxiao asked: "Mom, is the important matter you just mentioned related to this guest?" Mrs. Song said: "You can also say that." Song Tengxiao said in surprise: "Mom, I don't quite understand your Meaning. What exactly is it?" Mrs. Song said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? After meeting this person, you will naturally understand." Song Tengxiao saw that his mother was showing a calm look, let go of the stone in his heart, and thought to himself: "Even though this matter is important, it must not be urgent. Why did my mother urge me to see this guest immediately?" What about it?" He thought again: "If my expectations are correct and it's not an urgent matter, then he must be a casual guest. If it's not Brother Meng, who is this?" Before thinking about it, Mrs. Song had already stopped at the door of a half-closed wing, knocked on the door lightly, and a sweet girl's voice inside said: "Is it Aunt Song?" Mrs. Song said: "Simei, do you see who is here? Xiaoer, why are you in a daze, go in quickly!" Song Tengxiao was stunned for a moment, then unconsciously pushed open the door and ran in! The girl in the room shouted at the same time as him! "Little Junior Sister!" "Brother Song!" It turned out that this girl was none other than the "little junior sister" Lu Simi who lived with him and Meng Yuanchao in Xiaojinchuan day and night. Seeing that Lu Simei's face was as pale as a piece of white paper with a tinge of red, Song Tengxiao was taken aback, and shouted: "Little Junior Sister, what's the matter with you? Are you sick?" Man Yi couldn't help being startled, and shouted, "Senior Brother Song, what's the matter with you? Did you just get into a fight with someone?" The two said the same thing, and after they said it, they laughed in unison. Mrs. Song looked on happily, and said: "Xiao'er, Mom is right, isn't this an unexpected guest for you?" Song Tengxiao said: "It's really unexpected. Junior sister, tell me first, what kind of wind brought you here? Eh, you seem to be really injured?" At this time, he has noticed that there is a faint black line between Lu Simi's brows angry. Lu Simei said: "Brother Meng sent me here. The night before yesterday, I accidentally fell into the poisonous palm of Duan Choushi, one of the two evil spirits. I was slightly injured. It's fine." Song Tengxiao was surprised and delighted, and said, "Brother Meng sent it! What about Brother Meng?" Mrs. Song said: "Yuan Chao refused to stay and has already left. He said he had something urgent to do and he had to leave. I tried to persuade him to stay, but I couldn't keep him." Song Tengxiao suddenly realized, and thought: "No wonder Mom blamed me for not going home first. If I had arrived one day earlier, I would have been able to see them." Lu Simi said: "Brother Song, why did you get into such a state?" Song Tengxiao said: "Junior Sister, did you come from Yun's house with Big Brother Meng?" Lu Simi said: "That's right." Song Tengxiao said: "No wonder I couldn't find you last night." Lu Simi said: "So you went too Have you been there?" Song Tengxiao said: "You guessed right, I also had a fight in Yun's garden, and I was lucky not to be injured." Lu Simi said: "Who did you meet?" Song Tengxiao said with a smile: "I'm eager to know about you, so you should talk about it first." After Lu Simei told Song Tengxiao about her experiences at Yun Ziluo's house, she said, "I took the Little Huandan given to me by Master Meng, and this injury is probably not a problem. However, I'm afraid it will take ten and a half months." Only then can he recover. Brother Meng was ordered to contact the heroes of all parties, and I was afraid that he would drag him down and miss a major event. Later, Brother Meng thought that he could let me go to your home to recuperate, so I came to trouble Aunt Song unceremoniously." Mrs. Song said with a smile: "My niece, please don't say such unreasonable things. I really can't ask for you to come. You must also know the friendship between the three Meng families in Lu Song. I, Teng Xiao's father and yours When your parents met, you were not yet born. Especially your mother is like a sister to me. After we parted, I haven’t seen each other for twenty years. I miss her all the time. Seeing you now is like seeing you You look like her now. Well, you do look like your mother, only prettier than she was when she was younger." Lu Simei blushed and said: "Auntie, you make fun of me as soon as I come, I don't agree." Mrs. Song said with a smile: "I'm telling the truth. I dare to say that in front of your mother. But when you first came here yesterday, I was a little worried about you!" Song Tengxiao said: "That's right, Mom, I haven't asked you yet. Can you ask the doctor to see the injury of my junior sister? Is it really all right?" Mrs. Song said: "You don't need to say, I have asked the most famous Doctor Han in Suzhou City to take her pulse. Doctor Han can't tell what kind of poison she has, but, but, from the pulse condition, you can tell It can be seen that the toxicity is gradually weakening, as long as it is properly recuperated, it will be cured in a month. He also said that Miss Lu is in good health, and he has never seen a woman with such a good physique. Otherwise, if the body recovers, Then I’m afraid it will take more than half a year.” Song Tengxiao said: "Junior Junior Sister's internal strength attainments are higher than mine. Although Dr. Han is a famous doctor, I'm afraid he can't tell it. No wonder he is surprised by Junior Junior Sister's physical fitness." Lu Simei sighed, and said: "I only hope for ten days and a half months, one month is already too much! Brother Song, you still put money on my face?" Mrs. Song smiled and said: "You should be content too. When Yuan Chao helped you in yesterday, your face was completely bloodless. I was really worried for you at that time. Now, you don't need to put rouge on your face when you look in the mirror. It also has a little rosy color." He said again: "Yuan Chao should have sent you to me a long time ago, even if he has nothing else to do, there is no one to serve you over there!" Meng Yuanchao sent Lu Simei to the Song family, yes, for the convenience of taking care of her.However, apart from this, Meng Yuanchao still had something on his mind to match up with Song Tengxiao, but he didn't express it to Mrs. Song. However, Meng Yuanchao's thoughts coincided with Mrs. Song's thoughts. Mrs. Song looked at Lu Simi and Song Tengxiao who were sitting on both sides of her. The more she looked at her, the happier she became, and she thought to herself: "Xiao'er likes Yun Ziluo since she was a child. I know that. Ziluo is good at first, but unfortunately she is married. I'm worried that Xiao'er will be sad about this matter, but it's rare that he and Miss Lu are also compatible, it seems more suitable than Ziluo, if I can get this daughter-in-law, I can be very satisfied." Lu Simi didn't know what was on Madam Song's mind, but when she saw her looking at her all the time, she couldn't help feeling a little shy, and said immediately: "Senior Brother Song, it's your turn now, who did you fight with again?" Song Tengxiao said: "You are talking about two evil spirits, does one of them look like an old hozen..." Lu Simi said: "Not bad." Song Tengxiao said: "I have fought two big fights within three days, the first One fight was with Diancang Shuangsha." Lu Simei was surprised: "You also met them, do they know who you are, why did you fight?" Song Tengxiao felt quite hesitant, and thought to himself: "Should I tell my junior sister that they robbed Brother Meng's child?" After thinking about it, he finally decided to hide it from her for the time being, and said, "I'm I don't know why, but they started doing it as soon as they came up. Presumably they know that Brother Meng and I are good friends?" Lu Simi said: "Senior Brother Song, your martial arts have improved a lot! If that night without the help of that black-clothed woman who didn't know her origin, I'm afraid that Senior Brother Meng and I would inevitably be defeated at the hands of Diancang Shuangsha. " Song Tengxiao yelled secretly: "Ashamed!" Said: "Actually, I also relied on the technique of piercing flowers and circling trees that I practiced with you, so I was lucky enough not to be injured." Mrs. Song had heard Meng Yuanchao talk about what happened that night, so she couldn't help interjecting, "That's right, I forgot to ask your senior brother Meng yesterday. Even if he doesn't know the origin of this woman in black, he should meet her somewhere Have you been?" Lu Simi said: "I think so too. Otherwise, why would this black-clothed woman draw her sword to help for no reason? But Master Meng said that he has never seen it before. Maybe he forgot?" Mrs. Song said: "Then does he suspect who it is?" Lu Simi said: "He didn't say anything." Mrs. Song said: "This is really a bit strange." Song Tengxiao understood it in his heart, and thought to himself: "Who else is this woman in black besides Yun Ziluo?" But in order to cover up for Meng Yuanchao, he forced a smile and said: "Some things in the world are often unexpected. Last night I In Ziluo's house, I once met a woman who came to look for Brother Meng, and I have never seen Brother Meng before!" Lu Simimei became curious and said, "This is so unique! Is she also like that woman in black to Brother Meng, she ran away suddenly without saying anything to you?" Song Tengxiao said with a smile: "This is different. She not only talked to me, but also helped me fight." Lu Simi said: "The woman in black also helped Senior Brother Meng fight." Song Tengxiao said: "The woman I saw told me all the reasons why she wanted to find Brother Meng." Lu Simi said: "What's her name, why did you come to see Senior Brother Meng, a stranger to me, can you tell me?" Song Tengxiao said: "Of course, her name is Lin Wushuang, and she is a good friend of Jin Daxia Jin Zhuliu and his wife." Now Song Tengxiao told what happened last night, how he met Lin Wushuang, how Lin Wushuang helped him drive away Zong Shenlong, and why Jin Zhuliu asked her to come to Meng Yuanchao as Lin Wushuang said, and so on. . Lu Simei smiled and said: "This is really a coincidence. Brother Meng is going to Dongping County to find Jin Zhuliu, but Jin Zhuliu sent someone to look for him first." Song Tengxiao said: "In this way, they can meet on the way. Because Lin Wushuang is going back to Jin Zhuliu's place. Even if he misses it on the way, he will definitely meet him at Jin Daxia's house." Lu Simei suddenly asked, "Is Miss Lin beautiful?" Song Tengxiao smiled and said, "This Miss Lin looks a bit like you." Lu Simi smiled and said, "Really? Are you talking nonsense?" Song Tengxiao said: "I didn't lie to you at all. When I saw her appearing in the window for the first time under the tea stand last night, I almost took her for you. However, she is older than you, and she always looks like you. It looks very melancholy, which is different from you." Lu Simei said angrily: "Brother Song, you are laughing again that I will not grow up. However, I really don't know how to worry. Maybe I have gone through too many tribulations, and I don't take it as a big thing. Something happened." She didn't feel that when she said these few words, she already carried a bit of "adult" breath.Hearing it in Song Tengxiao's ears, he couldn't help feeling lost. "This feeling can be regarded as a memory, but at that time I was at a loss!" Lu Simi's few careless words aroused Song Tengxiao's feelings, and he thought to himself: "I wish I could be like my junior sister, who can see things openly. I You can't keep thinking about Yun Ziluo." Mrs. Song said with a smile: "This is the only way to be blessed." As she spoke, she stared at her son intentionally or unintentionally. Lu Simi laughed and said, "This is unique again!" Song Tengxiao was puzzled and said, "What is unique and unique?" Lu Simi said: "I'm talking about Senior Brother Meng's temperament. When he was in Xiaojinchuan, Senior Brother Meng was always depressed. I don't know what is on his mind? Listen to what you say now, this Lin The girl must be the same as Senior Brother Meng, I don't know if she has suffered something sad before?" Song Tengxiao thought to himself: "Actually, when I was in Xiaojinchuan, I also had the same concerns, but I didn't put them on my face like Yuan Chao did." Mrs. Song said with a smile: "In this way, your temperament is similar to Teng Xiao, which can be said to be unique!" Mrs. Song's words were so obvious that both Song Tengxiao and Lu Simei couldn't help blushing! "This feeling can be turned into a memory, but it was already at a loss!" After Lin Wushuang and Song Tengxiao broke up, they walked out of Yun's house and set foot on the return journey alone, feeling the same feeling in their hearts. She remembered the childhood with Mou Zongtao's childhood sweetheart, when they lived next to each other.It may not be appropriate to say that she is a "childhood sweetheart".Because Mou Zongtao was seven or eight years older than her, and she pestered her cousin to play, Mou Zongtao had to play with her. "Hey, my cousin always treats me like a child, doesn't it mean he doesn't know my feelings for him at all?" Lin Wushuang thought to himself. As the morning breeze blew, Lin Wushuang felt a little chilly, and suddenly thought of a question she had never thought about before: "Do I really love my cousin?" If someone had asked her this sentence half a month ago, even if she was unwilling to answer, she must have thought this way in her heart: "There is no need to ask, since I understand human affairs, I have never had a second thought in my heart." A man, only a cousin. Of course I love him!" But now that I think about it, this answer seems a bit "unreliable". Why now have doubts again?Because she suddenly remembered a few words that Shi Hongying had said to her, she didn't think about it at the time, but now she couldn't help but stop thinking about it. One night half a month ago, when she was chatting with Jin Zhuliu and his wife, a disciple of the beggar gang came in and reported a piece of news to Jin Zhuliu. The news was that the Qing court would be harmful to Meng Yuanchao. After the disciples of the beggar gang left, Jin Zhuliu and his wife discussed sending someone to inform Meng Yuanchao, but after much deliberation, they still couldn't think of the right person, when suddenly their eyes were fixed on her. Shi Hongying said: "Yes!" Jin Zhuliu immediately said: "Yes, this is a good idea!" At that time, she was puzzled and asked, "Brother Jin, do you know what Sister Hongying's idea is?" Jin Zhuliu smiled and said: "Of course I know. Hongying, don't tell me first, let's write this person's name on the palm and show Wushuang to see if they are the same?" Lin Wushuang spread his palms in front of him, only to see that the three words "Lin Wushuang" were written on the palms of both of them. Afterwards, Lin Wushuang asked Shi Hongying in private, why did they know what the other was thinking? Shi Hongying's answer was very interesting. She said: "Don't laugh at my old face, you have always heard the phrase 'heart to heart', right? If I don't know what he is thinking, how can I marry him? Good sister , if you really love someone, you should be familiar with everything about him, as if you are familiar with yourself!" At this moment, Lin Wushuang suddenly thought of these words, and felt confused, "Am I familiar with my cousin? Sometimes I feel that he is my closest relative, and sometimes I feel that he is like a stranger. Now he wants to What, do I know? Well, let alone now, I played with him when I was young, how could I know what he was thinking?" Lin Wushuang recalled an event from a long time ago. One morning, she and Shi Hongying were walking in the garden. The morning glow was just emerging, and the morning fog was still there. Looking at the flowers in the fog was extraordinarily beautiful.She told Shi Hongying about this feeling, and Shi Hongying said with a smile: "Life is often like this, some things you can't see clearly, you will think it is beautiful. Maybe it is really beautiful, but more often it is an illusion. When you go When you get close to it, you can see it clearly, it is probably not the same as you imagined!" "Is my love for my cousin just a kind of hazy love? The shadow of my cousin that emerges in my heart is just the moon in the water, the flower in the fog?" Lin Wushuang was at a loss, she asked herself this question in her heart, but she couldn't answer it.However, Shi Hongying gave her the answer. Jin Zhuliu's house was by Dongping Lake. That morning, Shi Hongying was in a good mood. She walked and chatted with Lin Wushuang, walking from one end of the garden to the other. Seemingly unfinished, she dragged Lin Wushuang to the lake for a walk. The mist on the lake is dissipating, like light smoke, disappearing with the wind, and the water and mountains are suddenly revealed.Gulls and herons in the lake play with the waves and fly low, and weeping willows on the bank are green in the smoke.Lin Wushuang couldn't help exclaiming with joy: It's really a natural picture, it's hard to paint with skill! Shi Hongying looked at Lin Wushuang thoughtfully and said, "Have you ever had the feeling that the scenery on the other side always seems much more beautiful, but when you get to the other side, you think this side is more beautiful?" Lin Wushuang thought for a while Thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Yes, I also often feel strange, but the scenery on both sides is almost the same." Shi Hongying said: "It's because there is a lake across. You can't touch the willows over there, and you can't pick the flowers over there. You feel that the scenery over there seems to be more beautiful than here." Lin Wushuang said: "Your theory is quite new." Shi Hongying said: "It's actually not new. Isn't there an old saying that what you can't get is often 'good'? But this is only one side." Lin Wushuang seemed to realize something, and said: "The other side is because I am separated from the opposite bank by this lake?" Shi Hongying said: "That's right. You think the scenery over there is more beautiful, and some of it is based on your imagination. I have another analogy, that is like a memory of the past." Lin Wushuang's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Reminiscences of the past?" He couldn't help thinking to himself, "Could it be that she's making use of the topic?" Shi Hongying said: "That's right, memories are always sweet, aren't they?" Lin Wushuang thought in his heart: "Yes, my cousin and I quarreled when we were young. Now that I think about it, it's also very sweet. I hope I can go back in time and be with you. It's good for him to quarrel again like in the past." She would not hide her feelings, thinking of this point, she nodded slowly. Shi Hongying continued: "You think the scenery on the other side is beautiful because you are separated by a lake; you feel sweet memories because you have separated a period of time. This 'sweetness' is also somewhat based on your imagination. " 此际，林无双怅怅惘惘，独自前行，想起史红英那日和她说的这些话，不禁暗自思量：“我和表哥分手已经十年了，现在的表哥还是以前的表哥吗？或许我所喜欢的这个表哥，只是我心中的一个幻影？是加上了自己想象的、回忆中一个虚无缥缈的人物？” 朝阳耀眼，林无双心里的阴霾也好像在阳光照耀之下豁然开朗了，“我为什么不去见见他呢？见了他，不就是可以解答我心中的疑问了？” 原来她正是有着一个可以去见牟宗涛的机会，这件事情，且曾在她的心底起过波澜。 这个机会就是牟宗涛要在中原开宗立派，亦即是要把扶桑派在中原重建起来。时间已经定好了是在重九那天，距离现在不到一个月了。地点则是在泰山之上。 开宗立派是件非同小可的事情，所以牟宗涛早就向各大门派的掌门，各个帮会的首领，以及江湖上所有的成名人物发出了请帖。金逐流夫妻当然是在被邀请观礼之列了。 林无双是扶桑派的弟子，按说本派在中原重建，她是应当非去不可的，但她为了不愿意再见表哥，是以当史红英和她说及这个消息之时，她是默不作声，毫无表示。 或许史红英也是为了避免惹起她的伤心，后来也就没有和她再提这事了。 其后不久，就发生了孟元超这件事情。金逐流夫妻托她向孟元超报讯。 “红英姐姐要我来苏州跑这一趟，恐怕就是为了给我找个藉口，让我可以避过泰山之会吧。”林无双心想。忽地她又想起了分手的前夕，史红英和她的一番话。 史红英和她说道：“这几年来你很少在江湖上走动，除了来我这儿，就是在家中闭门练剑，不觉得寂寞吗？” “惯了，也就不觉得了。” “还是多到外面跑跑的好。你回到中原好几年了，好像除了我们夫妻之外，并没有结交什么朋友？” “我在海外也没有什么朋友。只有在飞鱼岛的时候，有一位好像姐妹般的朋友。”这位朋友，就是现在已经变成了她的表嫂的练彩虹。她说到了一半，可不愿意把她的名字说了出来。 “怪不得你老是惦记着表哥。”史红英笑道，“请你恕我直言，我以为你若是多结识几位朋友，心情最少可以开朗一些。” 此际，林无双想起这番话，脑海中忽地现出了宋腾霄的影子，脸上不觉泛起一片红霞，“我为什么忽然想起他呢？” 宋腾霄是个风度翩翩的美少年，对朋友又是那么重义，林无双想起了这些，不由得心中承认是对他颇有好感了。 “我心里从来没有第二个男子，或许就是因为这个缘故，我自以为是在深深的爱着表哥吧。” 但是她又想起了史红英另外的一些说话了。有一天史红英和她单独谈心，谈起了她自己在未曾和金逐流相识之前，曾经对两个男子有过好感。 林无双无意深探她的秘密，但听她说起，倒是颇感兴趣，说道：“是么？那两个人又是谁？” 史红英道：“一个是我们六合帮的副帮主李敦，一个是红缨会的舵主厉南星。”这两个人都是江湖上鼎鼎有名的人物，尤其厉南星，更是和金逐流齐名顶儿尖儿的角色。林无双心里想道：“厉舵主和金大哥乃是莫逆之交，难得他们之间毫无芥蒂。” 史红英继续说道：“李敦人如其名，温柔敦厚，厉南星却是刚好和他两样，潇洒不羁。小时候我和李敦常在一起，帮中的头目都以为我是喜欢他了，其实我是一直把他当作大哥看待的。厉南星与我志同道合，有一个时候，我与他往还甚密，以至逐流都有点误会以为我是爱上他了。后来才明白，我和厉南星的感情，只是好朋友的感情。兄妹之爱，朋友之爱，夫妻之爱，本来是大有区别的啊，不过，如果你没有经验过这三种不同的情感，有时或许你自己都会弄得模糊的。” 史红英的用意，乃是现身说法，向她暗示，她和牟宗涛的感情，只不过是属于兄妹的那种感情而已。 但此际林无双想起了她的这番说话，却是另有感触了。 “好感”有可能发展成为爱情，但却并不等于爱情，林无双现在是开始懂得了。她承认对宋腾霄颇有好感，但宋腾霄在她心里毕竟还只是一个陌生人。就是此际，当她忽然想起宋腾霄的时候，她也没有感到离开了他有何难过。 “但我离开了表哥，却是十分难过的，难道这还仅仅是兄妹之爱吗？”但是她又想道：“为什么我会忽然想起第二个男子呢？为什么我又开始怀疑我是不是真的爱慕表哥呢？” “无论如何，”林无双心里想道：“牟宗涛是我的表哥，是扶桑派的掌门人，我总不能一生避免见他！”她又想道：“宗神龙对表哥恨得牙痒痒的，他如已是为清廷所用，表哥开宗立派，为他所知，只怕他会公报私仇，也是难说。”想到此处，林无双心意立决，她决定了要到泰山参加本派的盛会。只是，“我若不回去打一个转，只怕金大哥以为我是出了什么事了？可是我又怕不能如期赶至泰山，怎么办呢？嗯，人生真是常有意想不到的事，金大哥叫我给孟元超报讯，我却见着了他的好友宋腾霄；我本来是不愿意再见到表哥的了，现在却又急着要赶到泰山去。那个孟元超不知又是怎么样的一个人？”林无双胡思乱想，不知不觉已是走了一大段路程了。 孟元超此际也正是在独自前行，像林无双一样，心海翻波，难以平静。
