Chapter 7 The Seventh Chapter: The Mystery of Orphan's Life Experience Unsolved

It turns out that Gu Zhihua did adopt an orphan girl. The origin of this orphan girl is very strange. Until now, her life experience is still a mystery! That happened three years ago. One day, Yi Zhongmou, Gu Zhihua's senior brother and leader of the Southern Beggar Gang, brought a four-year-old girl up the mountain, begging Gu Zhihua to adopt him, and told a strange story. Yi Zhongmou has a friend whom he doesn't know very well.His name is Qiu Yan, and he is a small landlord in Zhongmou County, Henan Province. Mou married him.Later, the Qing court severely investigated Lu Liuliang's legacy, and he returned to the countryside to become a gentleman.

Yi Zhongmou wandered around the rivers and lakes, and was a beggar, so of course it was not convenient to communicate with him. The two hadn't seen each other for nearly ten years. Qiu Yan suddenly asked a disciple of the Beggars' Clan in Zhongmou County to send him an urgent letter, please He went home for a talk. Yi Zhongmou was a person who valued friendship. Although it was a little strange to receive this letter, he still went to Qiu's house as promised.Qiu Yan invited him into the inner room, and begged him as soon as he opened his mouth: "I have an adopted daughter. His father was my tenant. He died of illness. It is very pitiful to leave this orphan girl. I have no children, so I adopted her. My own children. But I am also old and sick now, I am afraid I will not live long, are you willing to take in this orphan girl?"

Yi Zhongmou was very embarrassed, so he had no choice but to say bluntly: "The Beggars' Clan never accepts female disciples, and I am a single old beggar. Even if I want to treat her as a daughter, it is not convenient to take her with me. Just a joke." Is it possible to ask her to be my daughter-in-law when she grows up? Among my brothers, relatives and friends, there are many people who have families and businesses. Wouldn’t it be better to ask a wealthy person to take care of her than entrusting me, an old beggar, to be a hundred times better? Brother’s spirit is still strong, why did Hu make such ominous words?”

Seeing that Yi Zhongmo refused to agree, Qiu Yan sighed, as if he had something to hide, but he didn't ask anymore.He was already in the room, had prepared the food and drink, and immediately said: "Since Chief Yi is in trouble, let's put this matter aside for now, we haven't seen each other for many years, let's have a good drink first." After drinking for three rounds, Qiu Yan said again: "Although Master Yi doesn't want to take in the little girl, it's okay to let her come out to visit, right?" Yi Zhongmu laughed and said: "The old beggar is only worried about not having a meeting ceremony, I'm sorry Ling Qianjin. "

Qiu Yan got his consent, and called his daughter out, but it turned out to be a child of three or four years old, very handsome, but the clothes he was wearing were a bit weird, it was a small red satin padded jacket, at most It is suitable for a two-year-old child. Although this girl is born thin, she still thinks it is a bit narrow when she wears it on her body.Moreover, it was early autumn at that time, and it was inappropriate to wear a padded jacket. Yi Zhongmou was just wondering, Qiu Yan had already filled two glasses of wine, and said, "After this meeting, I'm afraid it will be hard to see you again, please drink up this glass, I have something from the bottom of my heart, I want to confess my love to the leader!"

Yi Zhongmo was puzzled, raised his glass and said: "You and I are friends of morality, brother Qiu, if you really have something embarrassing, I can't ignore it! But it's okay!" Qiu Yan frowned, laughed loudly, drank the wine in the glass, and said: "I just want to help the leader say this! As the leader said, although you and I are not close friends, I know that you are daring Zhaoren. A hero who promises a thousand gold! Although there are many younger brothers and relatives, there is only one person who can be trusted! Not only is this girl poor, but I am afraid that there will be many disasters in the future. I am unable to take care of her now, so I know It is a merciless request, and I hope that the leader will take care of this orphan for the sake of our friendship, if she gets the protection of your clan, I can feel at ease under the Nine Springs!"

Qiu Yan's voice became weaker and weaker, and the cloud of blackness on his face became thicker and thicker. Yi Zhongmou was taken aback. Seeing that he was on the verge of falling, he quickly supported him and said, "Brother Qiu, what's the matter with you?" Medical theory, touching his body, only felt that he was hot all over, and looking at his complexion, it was clear that he had been poisoned! Yi Zhongmou shouted: "Brother Qiu, you have something to say, why bother? Where is the antidote, tell me!" Qiu Yan just pointed at the girl, and then pointed at his own heart, expressing that his wish was to let Yi Zhongmou Shelter this girl.

Yi Zhongmou tossed the jug, but there was a sound of "touch", the jug shattered, and sparks immediately splashed out, the jug contained poisonous wine, it turned out that what Qiu Yan poured for himself was poisonous wine However, the one for Yi Zhongmou was poured from another flagon. Qiu Yan left him alone with his death, Yi Zhongmou was extremely sad, at this time Qiu Yan's pulse was about to cut off, his body also changed from high fever to cold, at this time even if there is an antidote, it is difficult to cure him.Yi Zhongmou had no choice but to whisper in his ear: "Brother Qiu, I will definitely arrange for this child well. If you have anything else to say, tell me quickly!"

Qiu Yan struggled with all his strength, and said intermittently: "The padded jacket on her was given to her by her mother. She also has a brother who was born at the same time and was adopted by Ye Junshan in Chenliu County. The satin jackets, you take her to find her brother, these two padded jackets are very important, you, you, you want..." Yi Zhongmou said loudly: "What do you want me to do?" But Qiu Yan was so breathless at this point that he couldn't answer this question! Yi Zhongmou roamed the rivers and lakes all his life, and encountered many accidents, but none of them could compare to this one!

The first thing that Yi Zhongmou couldn't figure out was why Qiu Yan died?If it is said that he was forced by the enemy family, why did he not ask for help after seeing Yi Zhongmou, and why did he not speak out when he was dying? The second thing that cannot be guessed is the girl's life experience. According to Qiu Yan, this girl is the daughter of his tenant, but judging from her padded jacket, although the red satin padded jacket is not very valuable, it is not a The tenants were willing to buy it.It was even more strange that Qiu Yan said that this padded jacket was of great importance when he was dying.Yi Zhongmou is an old man, of course he thinks that this girl has another origin, maybe she is the one who provoked Qiu Yan's enemies.However, if this is the case, why did Qiu Yan make up another set of lies to conceal her life experience?

There was only one old servant in the Qiu family, and Yi Zhongmou interrogated him. The servant said, "I don't know why the master died. A few days ago, there was a robbery in the house, and the master was unhappy. He handed over a letter to me this morning." , told me to take it apart after the guests left. I was wondering too!" Yi Zhongmou said: "Take it apart and see, it must be a suicide note." When you take it apart, it is true, it is indeed a suicide note, but it only entrusts the old servant to distribute his property.Most of them were done for good deeds, a small part was donated to the poor folks, and a small part was left to the servant for retirement. There was no word about his death or the mystery of the girl's life experience.Ask the servant, the servant also said that the girl was brought back by Qiu Yan himself three years ago, and she never told him about the origin. Yi Zhongmou asked again about the robbery, and the servant said: "When I heard the noise, the thief had already left." Seeing that he couldn't find out why, Yi Zhongmou had no choice but to take the girl away with suspicion. . However, the strange things are not over yet.According to Qiu Yan's dying entrustment, Yizhong Mou went to Ye Junshan's house in Chenliu County, Henan Province to visit the girl's brother. He died suddenly the night before, and his adopted boy disappeared. Yi Zhongmou is the leader of the beggar gang, he felt that it was always wrong to let a girl hang out in the beggar group, so he took her to Mang Mountain and asked his junior sister Gu Zhihua to take her in. Gu Zhihua is very happy with this girl, and at the same time because of this girl, she also thinks of her own life experience. She herself is an adopted orphan, so of course she is more willing to take in this child because she is close to others. She asked the girl's name.The girl's answer was also very strange. She said: "I don't have a name. Grandpa Qiu called me Lian'er. Grandpa Qiu said that I was only temporarily fostering his family. He didn't want me to change my name, so I don't have my surname Qiu either." Gu Zhihua said: "I don't have a name, so it's hard to call me. You have my surname. Can you be my daughter?" The girl and Gu Zhihua also hit it off very well, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to recognize her as her mother.Gu Zhihua named her Gu Zhonglian, because Jin Shiyi once compared Qinglian to her and encouraged her to "get out of the mud without being stained". She felt that the girl's life experience was similar to hers, so she named her took the name.But she prayed selfishly, hoping that the unknown biological parents of this girl were innocent people, and that this girl would not have the same fate as hers. Gu Zhihua also has another wish. She has been raised by her adoptive father, Gu Zhengpeng, a hero of the two lakes, and she has nothing to repay. Daughter, when she grows up, find a good son-in-law for her, so that she can inherit the cigarettes of the Gu family. For the past few years, she has been worrying about her daughter's mysterious life experience, and the unexpected thing finally came! Now she was facing this jeweled admiral's wife, and this Mrs. Miao immediately asked her about the orphan girl she had adopted after she finished talking about her personal affair. Gu Zhihua couldn't help being shocked, so he had to answer: "Yes, I did adopt an orphan girl. I don't know how Madam learned about it?" Mrs. Miao was overjoyed, and said in a low voice: "In order to care about these children, I sent a confidant to Zhongmou County to pick up these children and arrange them elsewhere, so that they will not suffer in a poor family. I can't think of my nanny The son of my son is dead, and the people who worked for me took great pains to investigate and found out that the son of this damn nurse has given away my pair of children to others. Whose family will the son be given to? It has not been found out so far. All he knew was that the daughter was given to him by the landlord, Qiu Yan from Zhongmou County, who died three years ago. "According to Qiu Yan's old servant, when he was dying, he gave my daughter to an old beggar and took away. This old beggar is Yi Zhongmou, the leader of the Southern Beggar Gang. My husband is a military officer. The Beggars' Gang is a big gang in the rivers and lakes that opposes the imperial court. The husband and wife sometimes talk about the Beggars' Gang, so I also know a little bit about the rules of the Beggars' Gang. The Beggars' Gang never accepts female disciples. The leader of the Yi Gang is a It’s not convenient for a single old beggar to bring a girl with you. Master Yi is the senior brother of your head of Gu, so I think of my daughter. Master Yi may have entrusted you to adopt him. Please rest assured, I don’t care Whether or not you oppose the imperial court, I only ask for my own child back. Now that the head of Gu has admitted this, this orphan girl must be my own flesh and blood! I want to repay head of Gu for adopting my daughter! Well, please head Gu to return me and my daughter to me now!" The facts Mrs. Miao said were in line with what Yi Zhongmou heard from Qiu Yan. Gu Zhihua felt chills in his heart, and thought to himself: "This Mrs. Miao's story about herself may not be true, but it is true. What she said about this child is unquestionable, alas, is it true that this child is also destined to be just like me?" She glanced at Mrs. Miao again, and the faint blackness on the center of her eyebrows became more and more serious. Now that it's clear, Gu Zhihua looked twice, and couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart, and couldn't help thinking: "This woman has a monster voice, she will never be a good person, how can I let Lian Er follow her?" Mrs. Miao seemed to have guessed Gu Zhihua's intentions, and said with a smile: "Master Gu dares to be reluctant to part with this child? If we are blessed and reunited, our mother and daughter will always be grateful, and we will never forget you. Child When I grow up, I will ask her to visit you often." Gu Zhihua listened to her sincere words, and felt touched by her, thinking: "Even though she is a member of the evil sect and behaves badly, she is Lian Er's mother after all, how can I stop their mother?" Do you know each other?" He said immediately: "This child is smart, and I am really reluctant to part with her. But she will see her biological mother, and I am still happy for her. Madame, please wait a moment." Mrs. Miao said: "So, please bring this child out." The corners of her eyes and brows were full of smiles, but the joy seemed a little strange. For some reason, her smile gave Gu Zhihua the feeling: no. Feelings that seem heartfelt and mingled with sorrow and joy, yet seem like a cunning one.When he succeeds in his plan, he unconsciously reveals a state of complacency. Gu Zhihua's heart moved, and he asked suddenly: "Madam, do you remember anything about this child?" Mrs. Miao was taken aback for a moment, and said: "What do you remember? After I gave birth to this pair of children, I handed them over to the nanny. I really haven't investigated the characteristics of them." Gu Zhihua said: "Then, you should leave some token for the two children, in case they met each other in the past as a proof?" Mrs. Miao smiled and said: "Master Gu, you are really careful, are you afraid that I will pass you off as the child? Thanks to you for reminding me, I remembered, and I sewed two padded jackets for the children with my own hands, which are the best Suzhou embroidered satin As for the face, I solemnly asked the nanny to keep it for the child. I wonder if you still had that padded jacket when you adopted this child?" Gu Zhihua's heart sank, and he thought: "In this way, it is really her child?" Then he asked: "So Madam, do you remember the color of these two padded jackets?" Mrs. Miao thought for a while, and then said: "Boys seem to be covered with red satin, and girls seem to be covered with blue satin. It's just that it's been a long time, so I don't remember clearly, and I'm afraid I may be wrong." What Mrs. Miao said was exactly the opposite.Gu Zhihua suddenly became suspicious, and thought: "She said it so solemnly just now, if you want to use these two padded jackets as tokens, is there any reason why you can't remember clearly?" Gu Zhihua followed up and asked: "It's a trivial matter that I can't remember the color, but there seems to be something special about that padded jacket. I don't know if Ma'am still remembers it?" Mrs. Miao unconsciously revealed a bewildered expression, and said, "A padded jacket is just a padded jacket, but the material is better. What's so special about it?" Gu Zhihua said lightly: "Since the padded jacket is made by Madam herself, Madam should remember it, such as its style, how many buttons it has, and the material of the buttons... Wait, Madam think carefully, or always Is it a little different from ordinary padded jackets?" Mrs. Miao's face was pale and red, and she said angrily: "How can I remember so many of these trivial things? I even have to ask how many buttons there are. Master Gu, aren't you trying to amuse me?" Gu Zhihua smiled slightly, and said coldly: "Those buttons are priceless treasures. According to people who know the goods, there may not be any in the palace!" It turned out that the padded jacket had seven buttons. At first glance, there was nothing special about it. It seemed to be ordinary copper buttons. One day, Gu Zhihua was afraid that the padded jacket would get moldy at the bottom of the box, so he took it out to dry. Under the sun, he suddenly found the buttons. The buckle reflects a strange brilliance. After careful identification, it is neither copper nor iron. But the button is cold to the touch, and it feels colder than before it was exposed to the sun, Gu Zhihua was surprised. It is precisely because of this that Gu Zhihua has a sense of mystery about the child's life experience. She once secretly showed this padded jacket to several well-informed seniors. It was only after she met Ye Yeyi, a doctor in the south of the Yangtze River, that she learned about the origin of this padded jacket. It turns out that these buttons are not metal, but the "Heavenly Heart Stone" unique to Xingxiu Sea, the top of Kunlun Mountains. This kind of strange stone is extremely rare, and it is mixed with countless sand and stones. , and may not be able to find one. According to the ancient medical secret book kept by Ye Yeyi, if the Tianxin stone is ground into powder and taken with strong wine, its function is better than any tonic, it can increase energy, boost qi and blood, and people who can take it will get an extraordinary power. Strength, but the Tianxin Stone is the hottest medicine in the world, taking a small amount can make people feel hot all over and go crazy! Therefore, it is not only a powerful tonic but also a very powerful poison. Ordinary people must not take it.Only after the internal strength has a solid foundation, can this kind of medicine be used to practice martial arts that are extraordinary and holy.Or even though the foundation of internal energy is not enough, if one can find another drug that can eliminate the heat poison of the Tianxin Stone, taking it together can increase the internal energy for at least twenty years, and now seven can become an indestructible body of diamond. Therefore, when Gu Zhihua said that these buttons are priceless treasures, he did not exaggerate at all. However, this kind of value has special meaning to talents in the martial arts, and of course Gu Zhihua would not tell her clearly. As soon as Gu Zhihua said this, Mrs. Na Miao was startled, her complexion changed drastically, and she stood up. Mrs. Miao said angrily: "Master Gu, you really underestimate me. Do you think I came here to pretend to be a child just to covet jewels? Hmph, hum, if you have this doubt, then please turn the button Deduct it, and then bring the child back to me." Gu Zhihua sneered and said: "Madam's words are wrong! Madam, you are a rich and powerful official wife, how dare I look at my young lady and say that you are greedy for jewelry? Besides, if the child belongs to you, the buttons on her cotton jacket should be How can I get rid of your belongings? This is not because I look at the little lady, but because the lady looks at me!" Mrs. Namiao knew she had said something wrong, and hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant. I asked Master Gu to remove those buttons, just to thank Master Gu for his kindness in raising the child. To be honest At that time, I followed my son and asked skillful craftsmen to set a few gemstones given to me by my father on the button, and I didn't know that those gemstones were so precious." Mrs. Miao heard that Gu Zhihua said the words "rare treasure". How could she have imagined that it was the "Heavenly Heart Stone" from Xingxiu Sea in Kunlun Mountains? So I thought it must be a gem. Gu Zhihua smiled, and said lightly: "The reason why I proposed the buttons on the padded jacket is just for the sake of prudence, lest my wife take another child by mistake. Now I am afraid that I will disappoint my wife. This child, I can already conclude that It is definitely not your child!" Madam Miao's eyes widened, and she said loudly, "How can you judge?" Gu Zhihua said: "Just rely on those buttons. Those buttons are not decorative gemstones, nor are they inlaid on them, but a very strange stone. Only those who know the goods can understand its usefulness. It is a rare treasure!" Mrs. Miao was dumbfounded immediately, and thought to herself: "I only thought the secret was inside the padded jacket, but it turned out to be on the buttons!" While thinking hard, trying to prevaricate with clever words, Gu Zhihua continued: "Madam, do you still have doubts?" ? Then please tell me, even if you don’t know the purpose of that stone, you should at least know its color and what’s special about it?” Mrs. Miao was afraid that her words would become more and more wrong, so she didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore, so she forced herself to argue: "She was given to Qiu Yan by the tenants of Qiu Yan in Zhongmou County, Henan, right? I've already said it right, of course it is mine. Son! As for those buttons, or whether Qiu Yan changed them later, how do I know?" Gu Zhihua said: "Qiu Yan has more than one tenant, how do you know it's not the second tenant's child? In short, the evidence is wrong, how can I give you the child, and you don't need another family's child!" Madam Miao became angry from embarrassment, and with a sound of "ping", she suddenly slapped the desk and cursed: "Master Gu, do you intend to embarrass me?" Gu Zhihua's complexion darkened, and he said solemnly: "Madam, this is not your yamen, if you want to lose your temper, go back to your yamen and do it again!" After finishing speaking, he immediately picked up the teacup, which meant seeing off the guests. Madam Miao was so angry that her neck turned red, and the blackness between her brows became more and more intense, she said loudly, "Master Gu, are you going to drive me away?" Gu Zhihua said: "Don't dare, but the matter has been made clear, madam, your child is not here, I am here in a small temple on a barren mountain, so I dare not keep more distinguished guests!" Mrs. Miao said angrily: "Who said that the matter is already understood? Hmph, hum, even though I am here alone, if you want to drive me away, I'm afraid it won't be so easy?" Gu Zhihua said: "The evidence doesn't match, what else is there that you don't understand? You must continue to make trouble in my Xuannv's view. It's not that I make things difficult for you. It's that you make things difficult for me!" Madam Miao hummed again, and said coldly, "So what about Xuannv Temple?" No matter how well-bred Gu Zhihua is, he couldn't help showing an angry look, and said: "Everything can't be a word of reason, Xuannvguan is certainly not as good as your admiral's army, but if you want to be unreasonable, Xuannvguan is not afraid! " Mrs. Miao's face was blue and red for a while, she seemed to be about to explode, but she suddenly lowered her head, and said in a different tone: "Master Gu, I have told you all the secrets. You Of course I know, even if I can mobilize my husband’s soldiers, I would never dare to openly ask you for someone. So please don’t misunderstand that I am bullying others. As your head Gu said, everything cannot be justified, I just want to be with you You make sense." Gu Zhihua said: "What is the truth of what Ma'am is going to say, the little girl is all ears!" Mrs. Miao said: "We are arguing about this child, so you should let me see her. I heard the nanny say that she looks very much like me. If I see your adopted child, she will not look like me." If so, then I'll be relieved." As soon as these words came out, Gu Zhihua's heart moved, and he felt that the matter was clearer, and he was more sure that the Lian'er he had adopted was not this woman's flesh and blood.I thought to myself: "My Lian'er has a delicate appearance and a dignified frame, how can she be similar to you at all?" In fact, when Mrs. Miao first said that she wanted to recognize the child, Gu Zhihua had already suspected that the appearance was different, because although the faces of parents and children were mostly similar, there were exceptions, so Gu Zhihua never refuted it based on this. Coming out was exactly what He Gu Zhihua wanted, and he immediately agreed to her: "If you want to see this child, I can fulfill your wish. But, you have to watch carefully, and don't claim to be her mother as soon as you meet." Mrs. Miao said: "Hell, I will never pretend to be a child from another family. However, I still have one thing to ask the head." Gu Zhihua saw that her attitude had changed to be courteous, so he replied kindly: "Madam, please tell me, if it can be done, I will obey my orders." Mrs. Miao said: "The child's padded jacket was tailored by myself, but according to the head of Gu, the buttons are different. Could you give me a look?" Gu Zhihua was displeased, and said: "Of course I have to show that cotton-padded jacket for Madam to have a look, otherwise Madam will inevitably think that I am talking nonsense and obliterate the evidence." Mrs. Miao said: "Master Gu is serious, I just want to confirm it." The smile on her face can be seen to be very forced.The more Gu Zhihua looked at it, the more disgusting she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she had come here with a plan, but then she thought: "In front of me, forgive me, she can't just snatch things away." Gu Zhihua summoned a maid and told her: "Please ask my second sister-in-law to bring out Lian'er, and bring that padded jacket too. The padded jacket is in the bottom box in my room." Gu Zhihua's second sister-in-law is Xie Yunzhen, the wife of Tie Guaixian, the former leader of the Beggar Gang. She has been living in Xuannv Temple since her husband passed away. After a while, I heard a child's voice shouting: "Mother, I just saw a naked buttocked man. This man came to see you. Have you seen him?" It turned out that this girl was met by Jiangnan. The girl in the house, she couldn't wait to tell Gu Zhihua about this "fun" thing before she stepped into the door. Gu Zhihua said: "Don't talk nonsense, come and meet the guests." Gu Zhonglian shouted: "This is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Lu, and he will see it." At this moment, she stepped into the door, and met Mrs. Miao's gaze, her pair of small eyes It stopped spinning suddenly, as if frozen with fright. Xie Yunzhen took her little hand, felt her little hand trembling slightly, knew something was wrong, and said: "Lian'er, what's the matter with you, go up and call Auntie." At this moment, Mrs. Miao stepped forward a few steps, facing Gu Zhonglian, and said softly: "My child, my child, do you know who I am?" Yan Zhonglian suddenly shouted: "I know who you are, I recognize you, you are the female thief that night!" It turned out that a few days before Qiu Yan committed suicide, there was a robbery at home. Qiu Yan slept until midnight, and was suddenly awakened by a strange noise. At that time, Gu Zhonglian was only about three years old. The little bed he was sleeping in was placed in his own room so that he could take care of it. As soon as he was awakened by a strange noise, he saw a black figure standing in front of the child's bed, just stretching out his arm, as if he wanted to grab the child. Qiu Yan has practiced Hunyuan Thunderbolt Palm, which is the strongest palm force in foreign boxing. Although it is not comparable to Shaolin's Vajra Palm, it is also capable of cracking stones. He suddenly woke up, seeing this Without thinking about the situation, he immediately jumped out of bed and slapped the thief in the back. This slap hit right on the ground, but when the thief heard a "hum", he immediately flew out through the window, Qiu Yan chased after him, and his shadow disappeared. Like a man.The next day Qiu Yan felt a dull pain in his internal organs, and only then did he know that he had suffered an internal injury. Yi Zhongmou had heard from Qiu Yan's old servant about the robbery in the Qiu family, so Gu Zhihua also knew about it.But it's all unknown, and this matter is one of the doubts, because Qiu Yan would rather commit suicide, but never disclosed this matter to Yi Zhongmou. Now, the girl suddenly revealed that Mrs. Miao was the female thief who stole into the Qiu family back then! Gu Zhihua was taken aback, just thinking about the thieves in the Qiu family, at this moment, Madam Miao yelled in a strange voice: "Good boy, since you recognize me, follow me!" When someone arrives, grab that child with one hand! Gu Zhihua's sister-in-law Xie Yunzhen, nicknamed "Spicy Hand Fairy", is so powerful, but seeing a flash of white light, Mrs. Miao's grasp has not been firmly grasped, she has drawn her sword out of its sheath, and launched a move to attack the enemy. All in one go! This sword pointed directly at Mrs. Miao's heart. Mrs. Miao came running wildly, and she was about to be pierced through her heart by the long sword, but suddenly she heard a scream, even Gu Zhihua hadn't seen it clearly, Xie Yunzhen, the hot hand fairy, went ahead After being hurt by her, he fell down with a plop! Gu Zhihua asked her teacher-sister-in-law to bring the child out, in order to prevent accidents and to have one more person to protect the child, but Xie Yunzhen fell to the ground as soon as they met each other. Gu Zhihua was full of rage, and got up quickly, and immediately rushed towards Mrs. Miao. After Mrs. Miao knocked down Xie Yunzhen, for some reason, she stopped suddenly. The padded jacket was originally on Gu Zhonglian's body. When she fell to the ground, Mrs. Miao glanced at the padded jacket, she just saw the cotton-padded jacket, her thoughts moved, and she was about to reach out to pick it up, when Gu Zhihua's Shuanghua sword spit out a green and cold light, pointing to her forehead. Gu Zhihua has practiced the Xuannv swordsmanship hard for the past few years, and she is much more powerful than Xie Yunzhen. This sword is light and agile, powerful and powerful, and it is extremely difficult to dodge. Then Mrs. Miao is very lucky. Huo Di nodded "Feng" ", Shen Yu didn't even take half a step back, and immediately bounced his finger back, with a sound of "dang", it hit Gu Zhihua's sword spine! But Gu Zhihua felt a strong force coming, and the tiger's mouth was slightly heated, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart: "What kind of evil kung fu does this temptress practice?" It was too late to say, and then soon, Mrs. Miao flicked Gu Zhihua's hand away with one finger. The sword, quickly grabbed it with a backhand, and in an instant, he attacked three times in succession! It goes without saying that Mrs. Miao's moves are weird. What's even more shocking is: her palms, which were originally soft and ruddy, turned into black balls as if painted with thick ink. , with a faint smell of blood!Fortunately, Gu Zhihua practiced the authentic Taoist inner strength, and he had already reached the high-level state. With three turns of luck, he completely eliminated the feeling of boredom in his chest. In a flash, he returned three moves one after another, which made Mrs. Miao feel uncomfortable. Dare to bully yourself. Gu Zhonglian was stupefied with fright, at this moment Fang Shi could cry "Wow", and shouted: "Mother, this female thief is going to catch me to death, you drive her away quickly, I, I'm afraid of death!" Mrs. Miao said: "Son, I am your biological mother, you don't have to be afraid!" Turning around, she wanted to grab the child again, but how could Gu Zhihua let her succeed? Cover her figure! Gu Zhonglian cried and cursed: "Nonsense, my biological mother is already dead, you are the female thief who wants to kill me, not my mother!" Gu Zhihua's heart moved, and she felt relieved in the astonishment. This was the first time that the child said that her biological mother was dead. At the same time, because of the child's words, Gu Zhihua was reminded of this point: Mrs. Miao's ferocious demeanor when she grabbed the child just now, a mother would never do something like this to her own child, when Gu Zhihua sneered, she reprimanded: "What a shameless witch with a heart and a heart, how dare you take risks now?" Do you recognize the child's mother?" Mrs. Namiao said angrily: "Gu Zhihua, I came here to beg you with nice words, but you came to scold me with nonsense words. You are rude, so don't blame me for being rude! Humph, hum, you provoke me!" Fucking me, only you are unlucky!" Gu Zhihua also said angrily: "Even if you are a first-class lady, I want you to go down the mountain at this moment!" Before the words were finished, Mrs. Miao suddenly let out a strange whistle, and called out in a dark voice: "Gu Zhihua, Gu Zhihua! Good words, good words! If you don’t listen to my words, I’m going to send an invitation on behalf of the King of Hades in the Ten Palaces!” The voice was extremely shrill, like a vicious witch calling for her soul, but Gu Zhihua’s concentration was so strong that when she heard her call, her heart couldn’t help trembling slightly . After Mrs. Miao screamed strangely, she sent out both palms, flicking her fingers repeatedly, and the strong wind with a fishy smell, like cold arrows, shot at Gu Zhihua. With the sword, it turned into a beam of light, which protected the body and also blocked the strong wind of the cold arrow. These moves were as quick as flashes of lightning, both sides used what they had learned in their lives and strived to be the first, Gu Zhihuasheng had profound internal skills and exquisite swordsmanship; but the evil kung fu practiced by Mrs. Namiao was extremely weird, both sides had some scruples and eagerly joined in. In the meantime, it is still a close call. Gu Zhihua was concentrating on dealing with Mrs. Miao's attack, when she suddenly heard the maid shout loudly: "I report to the master, Hu, Lin, Sun, and Cheng are waiting to see you." A ban was issued that no one was allowed to enter, so the few senior disciples who were outside to inquire about the movement, although they heard the sound of fighting inside, still did not dare to enter without authorization. Gu Zhihua responded: "The ban is lifted, let them in!" She was distracted from speaking, and her sword moves were slowed down. Madam Miao took this opportunity to let out a strange howl, and a green flame suddenly flew out from her sleeve, passing through the The sword light shot straight to Gu Zhihua's face! Gu Zhihua blew out a breath of true energy, and the flames immediately dispersed in all directions. Mrs. Miao seemed to have not expected that she had cultivated inner family energy, so she gave a slight moan and took two steps back; but the flames carried an extremely difficult The rancid smell was obviously some kind of evil medicine, when Gu Zhihua opened his mouth to blow, he inevitably inhaled a little, but felt dizzy and almost nauseated. At this time, the ban was lifted, and a few disciples of the Mangshan Sect came in. Although they were not the first to bear the brunt of the smell, they still felt very uncomfortable when they smelled the smell. Among them, Lu Daolin was the most violent, and yelled angrily: "Where did you come from?" How dare you put poison here!" He was the direct disciple of Cao Renfu, one of the Seven Heroes of the South of the Yangtze River, and he used an iron pipa. , three bone penetrating nails shot out. Mrs. Namiao sneered and said, "Pearls of rice grains, also emit brilliance?" She was under the light of Gu Zhihua's sword, and she didn't turn her head back, but she heard three clear and crisp sounds, and the three bone-penetrating nails were smashed. It hit her body, but it was as if it touched metal, as soon as it touched her body, it fell down! Mrs. Miao sneered, "Gu Zhihua, why don't you send an order down, ring the bell and beat the drum, and summon all the people from the Mangshan Sect, so that I don't have to deal with them one by one." Gu Zhihua said angrily: "My Mangshan faction is no better than your admiral to supervise the yamen, and I will never bully others, but you have hurt my Mangshan faction. As the head, I will never let you off easily!" Then he passed down an order: "Senior Brothers Lu and Lin, you first treat Mrs. Xie to see what kind of injury she has suffered? Senior Sister Sun, quickly take Lian Er out." The meaning of the words was to deal with Mrs. Miao alone.Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Miao suddenly grabbed him again, and said sternly, "If you don't spare me, so what?" Pointing at Gu Zhihua's sword, he said sharply: "I don't care what kind of first-rank lady or second-rank lady you are, if you hurt a disciple of the Mangshan sect, you have to kowtow to me and admit your mistake, and you are not allowed to set foot on Mangshan again!" Mrs. Miao sneered and said, "What a big tone, hum, hum, how dare you take my daughter away, how dare you be so arrogant? Well, you are the head of the Mangshan sect, and I will compete with you according to the martial arts rules." Let's fight! I'm not afraid that you have a sword. If you beat me, I don't want my daughter and go down the mountain immediately; if I win, you have to give her back to me!" 谷之华对这妇人实是讨厌到了极点，恨不得把她早早赶跑，立即答道：“依你就是！”话犹未了，那缪夫人身形一晃，趁着谷之华的剑势尚未合成圆圈，双手齐扬，左手飞出三枚指环，分打谷之华的穴道，右手则飞出了三枝带着青光的毒箭。谷之华大怒，长剑一圈，同时一掌拍出，她这一掌，运的是吕四娘衣钵真传的少阳玄功，三枝毒箭，给她的掌力一压，登时响起了一片爆裂之声，碎成了无数小片，剑光扫过，那三枚指环，也登时变成了六片破铜，缪夫人叫声“好厉害！但要伤我，只怕也还未能！”身形疾退，谷之华唰唰两剑，都没有刺中。 她那毒箭虽然粉碎，青光却四处流散，邙山派六大弟子之一的林笙，不小心给青光沾着了衣裳，立即便燃烧起来，林笙大惊，急忙用力将衣裳挣破，脱出身来，但已给烧焦了一片皮肉，脚步踉跄，几乎立足不稳，原来那青光是有毒的磷火，所以这样厉害。 谷之华见她的有毒暗箭层出不穷，也自有点顾忌，忙说道：“众师兄都请出去吧，小心戒备，严防她还有党羽到来。”心中想道：“要不是我这几年苦练少阳玄功，只怕也要遭她毒手。” 卢道璘和程浩将谢云真扶出庭院，只见她面色青中泛黑，手足已是僵冷如冰，幸喜鼻端还有气息，卢道璘大叫道：“掌门小心，切不可给这妖妇的毒掌击中！”程浩也叫道：“掌门，快将这妖妇制伏，迫她拿出解药。”那缪夫人哈哈笑道：“你们要我的解药救人吗？那就快快认输了吧，免得耽搁时候！” 谷之华扬声问道：“脉息如何？”卢道璘道：“脉息微弱，尚未断绝！”谷之华一听，略略宽心，说道：“我房间里那玉匣之中，还有三粒碧灵丹，你去叫侍女找出来，先给师嫂服下。”那缪夫人听了，又是哈哈大笑。谷之华一剑刺去，斥道：“妖妇，你害了人很得意么？” 缪夫人挥袖一拂，卸开谷之华的剑势，说道：“谷之华，我是笑你结了疮疤忘了痛，厉胜男给你吃的苦头，你可还记得么？”谷之华怔了一怔，只听得那缪夫人又格格笑道：“实不相瞒，我手掌上涂的毒药，就正是厉胜男当年令你吃亏的那种奇药！你应该知道，这种毒药是否天山雪莲所能解救？” 谷之华听了这话，自是吃了一惊，但也不至于像缪夫人所料的那般惊惶失措，要知这种毒药虽然厉害非常，但当年谷之华中毒之后，仗着李沁梅所赠的天山雪莲，也挨过了三年。如今谷之华师嫂谢云真的功力，决不至弱于七年前的谷之华，所以谷之华在一惊之后，反而放下了心上的石头，想道：“倘若真是这种毒药的话，有天山雪莲所泡制的碧灵丹，短期之内，我师嫂的性命，定可无忧。” 但令得谷之华吃惊的不单是这种毒药，而是对方怎懂得这种毒药？又怎知道厉胜男当年使用的是这种毒药？据谷之华所知，当年厉胜男在临死之前，曾把乔北溟的武功秘笈送给了金世遗，但那部取自七阴教的百毒真经，在厉胜男死后，却是不知下落。 如今，谷之华听得这缪夫人提起了厉胜男，自不免心中想道：“难道这妖妇和厉胜男竟有什么关联？又难道那本百毒真经，竟是落到了她的手上？” 谷之华一生吃尽了厉胜男的苦头，一想到这缪夫人可能与厉胜男有甚渊源，禁不住更是怒气勃发，登时全力施为，把玄女剑法与少阳玄功都尽量施展出来，一剑紧似一剑，把缪夫人紧紧迫着。 这缪夫人武功虽然了得，但比起当年的厉胜男，却还差得颇远，谷之华与她斗了三十来招，已是略略占了上风。心中想道：“只要不给她的喂毒暗器与毒掌打中，我总可以迫得她交出解药。” 邙山派弟子退了出去，江南却一直站在门口，探头探脑的向里面张望，他见了缪夫人的本领，心中暗暗吃惊，想道：“好险，好险，刚才在那山路上，我若不是有人暗中相助，定然难逃她的毒手了。可是，这暗中相助于我的，倘非金大侠，却又是谁呢？”他一面吃惊，待看到谷之华占了上风，又不禁眉飞色舞，大声道：“果然不出我江南所料，这妖妇是邪派坏人。谷女侠，你一定要给她吃点苦头，切不可轻易将她饶了。”他自言自语地嚷了一会，忽地联想到一个神秘的人物，禁个住心头一凛！ 你道江南想起了谁？原来是想起他那不知名的神秘莫测的对头——天魔教主。他见缪夫人所用的邪派武功层出不穷，而且还有各式各样的毒药暗器，其中有一种能发火焰的毒箭，与姬晓风所说的，天魔教主向他示威所发的那种毒箭又正相同，江南禁不住心中想道：“莫非这缪夫人就是天魔教主？”但随即便又想道：“不对，不对！据姬大哥所说，那天魔教主虽然蒙住面罩，但却是身材婀娜，凭他的经验看来，最多是二十来岁的少女，而这个浑身珠光宝气的缪夫人，尽管她极力修饰，却已是腰身微微发胖，眼角也可以看出有皱纹了。” 江南是相信姬晓风的观察能力的，不过，姬晓风对天魔教主的判断，也只是推测之言，他到底还没有见过天魔教主的庐山真面。而眼前这个中年发胖的缪夫人，却有几个特点与姬晓风所说的那个天魔教主相同，因此江南虽觉得有点“不对”，但却仍然难免怀疑。 正在江南惊疑不定、暗地里自言自语之际，忽见两个人飞奔而来，江南刚认出跑在前面的那个是路英豪，便听得他粗大的嗓子嚷道：“禀掌门，这妖妇的来历我们已经查出啦！” 谷之华解开了缪夫人的一招攻击，沉声说道：“这妖妇究是何人？”在路英豪后面的白英杰答道：“她是天魔教的一个重要人物，九成就是天魔教主！” 原来在邙山派众弟子中，白英杰最为精明能干，故此刚才谷之华派他和路英豪去招待那两个轿夫，白英杰与路英豪商计定当，请那两个轿夫喝酒，故意挑逗他们谈论武功，又故意拿高帽子给他们戴，称赞他们的武功了得。 白、路二人名列邙山六大弟子之中，地位仅在谷之华、翼仲牟与程浩三人之下，他们在邙山派的地位，那两个轿夫乃是知道的，所以他们得到白、路二人亲自招待，便不由得深感荣幸，大出意外，再加上几顶高帽子一戴，更是陶陶然了。 喝了几杯，白英杰向他们请教姓名，那两个轿夫踌躇片刻，终于说了出来，原来这两个轿夫竟是江南两个小帮会的舵主。 白、路二人都是海量，不停的劝那两个轿夫喝酒，看他们已有了七八分酒意之时，白英杰忽地将酒杯重重一顿，说道：“我有一句话，不知该不该说？但若不说，却又好不闷煞人也！” 那两个轿夫已饮至酒酣耳热，听了这话，叫起来道：“白大侠，咱们虽然今日初交，但却是一见如故，你有什么话但说无妨！若然不说，那反而是见外了。” 白英杰故意作了个为难的神气，然后说道：“二兄都是爽快之人，我姓白的也是个爽直脾气，心有所疑，便如骨鲠在喉，不吐不快！好，若是我说错了，请两位兄台海量包涵！” 那两个轿夫听他左一个“兄台”、右一个“兄台”相称，早已飘飘然了，但酒醉还有三分醒，不约而同他说道：“白大侠所疑何事？若是我们知道的，定当奉告。”他们也想到了白英杰可能要问关于缪夫人的秘密，所以先设下遁辞，若是不可以说的，就推作不知。 哪知白英杰却不先问缪夫人，而是深深地叹了口气，眼光紧紧的注视着他们问道：“我有一事不明，以两位兄台的本领和地位，在江湖上也尽可叱咤风云了，何以甘以舵主之尊，为人厮役？难道就因为贵主人是个提督夫人，你们就愿意屈膝官门吗？听两位兄台的豪迈谈吐，却又不像是这等趋炎附势的人呀！” 那两个轿夫本来就不大甘心给缪夫人抬轿的，如今再给白英杰用尖刻的说话一激，禁不住面红过耳，期期艾艾他说道：“我们虽比不上白大侠名震江湖，但也非无名之辈，莫说一个提督，再大的官儿，我们也绝不会听他差遣，只因，只因——”白英杰道：“若有苦衷，不说也罢！当然，我是不会看轻两位的，别人嘛，那就不敢说了。” 那两个轿夫再也忍耐不住，终于嚷出来道：“我们甘心给她抬轿，并非因为她是提督夫人，而是因为她用天魔教的金牌差遣我们，我们都是新近入了天魔教，对本教金牌，势难违抗。” 白英杰见闻极广，天魔教虽然隐秘，但最近一年，在江湖上已稍有活动，白英杰也略有所知，当下便作出惶恐的神情说道：“原来如此，请恕白某无知。但听说天魔教都是女的，现在也收了男教徒吗？” 那两个轿夫道：“天魔教主是个女的，去年听说多了一个男的做副帮主，所以也有许多江湖人物进了天魔教了。我们因为是小帮会，以为进了天魔教，大树之下好遮荫，哪知兀是被人小视！” 白英杰让他们发了一通牢骚，再问道：“这缪夫人是贵教的教主吗？”那两个轿夫道：“我们在天魔教中，只是被人差唤的无名小卒，直到如今，还未蒙正副教主召见过。此次我们奉了金牌之命，去服侍这缪夫人，她也未曾向我们表露身份。不知她到底是教主还是真的提督夫人？” 白英杰套不出更多的说话，想道：“这两人不过是天魔教的小角色，看来，他们所知道的也只是这么多了。”于是赶快的将那两个轿夫灌醉，便急急忙忙赶来向谷之华报告。 谷之华听说这缪夫人很可能便是天魔教主，吃了一惊，随即怒道：“我与你们这种邪教风马牛素不相涉，你为何到我的邙山来无理取闹。” 那缪夫人哈哈大笑，对白英杰指她是天魔教主之言，既不承认，亦不否认，她怪笑了一阵，突然又向谷之华展开了狂风暴雨般的攻击，同时骂道：“你竟敢说我们天魔教是邪教，就凭这一点，我与你们邙山派的仇便结定了，何况你还强占我的女儿！” 白英杰功力较深，听了缪夫人的怪笑，还不觉得怎样，路英豪听了，却好像给人用一根利针从耳鼓坐刺进去一般，十分难受，他性情暴躁，登时拔出腰刀，便要上前助战。 谷之华的侍女忙叫道：“路帅叔，请退下！”说时迟，那时快，只听得“唰”的一声，那缪大人以敏捷无伦的手法取出了一条软鞭，唰的一声，正正抽中了路英豪的手背，路英豪痛得失声大叫，原来她那条软鞭是蘸满了蝎子粉的毒鞭，鞭梢又有钢刺倒须，路英豪给她一鞭抽中，如着火烧，手背上的皮肉也被撕去了一大片。但是由于谷之华的命令，不许别人相助，他只得忍着愤怒，退出门外。 缪夫人冷笑道：“你们邙山派既要恃多为胜，请恕我只好取出兵器奉陪了。”其实路英豪根本未曾出招，便即受伤退下，说不上是邙山派“恃多为胜”，缪夫人不过是因为已处在下风，所以找个借口而已。 她毒鞭在手，如虎添翼，一轮狂攻猛扫，果然把劣势扳转过来。 且说江南正在思疑不定，忽听得路、白二人指证这缪夫人便是天魔教主，不由得心头一震，他是个性情率直，不计利害的人，明知缪夫人的本领高出他不知几倍，也要奋不顾身的上前与她对敌了。 谷之华见江南突然扑进门来，急忙叫道：“江南，我无须你帮助，赶快退开！” 江南叫道：“她抢了我的儿子，我非得和她拼命不可！我不是你邙山派的门下，我可以不听你的命令！” 缪夫人怔了一怔，随即骂道：“浑小子，你胡说八道，谁希罕你的儿子？好吧，你要拼命，我也就顺便送你一张阎王帖子吧！”正是： How about knowing the future?Please listen to the breakdown next time.
