Chapter 12 Chapter 11: Gui Zhongming, a female inspiration, was inadvertently overwhelmed by a group of swordsmen and convinced Ling Weifeng to win gold with gambling skills
Ling Weifeng yelled: "How do you guys want to play? Are you shoulder to shoulder? Or a one-on-one wheel battle?" Wang Gang, not to be outdone, replied loudly in front of the heroes: "We are outnumbered and you are outnumbered. Let's draw the way first!" Ling Weifeng raised his sword eyebrows, and said: "Please tell me the martial arts seniors present!" Lu Dalengzi said: "It's not fair for the two of Ling Daxia's side to fight five against five. At most, there can only be two people on each side, whether to join forces or fight alone, it is up to you."
Wang Gang heard this, and was about to send the Shen family brothers to call for battle, but Jiao Zhi and Hong Tao, the guards of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor's Mansion, had rushed out, and shouted loudly: "We have heard for a long time that Senior Shi is strong in martial arts, and we would like to ask his young master some moves." Master Ling can come up if you want." These two men were quite scheming, they knew that their martial arts were not as good as those of the great insiders, and they were afraid of being despised, so they used words to hold Ling Weifeng as soon as they came up, and named him to challenge the boy in yellow shirt.They said, "Master Ling can also come up", but they knew that in the name of Ling Weifeng, they would definitely not come to fight with them after hearing such seemingly refusing words, but the boy in yellow shirt, they Did not take it to heart.
Ling Weifeng smiled lightly, but sure enough, he didn't move his sword.Gui Zhongming, the boy in the yellow shirt, laughed heartily, held two swords in his hand, stepped forward nonchalantly, and shouted, "Let's make a move! You two are not worthy of my elder brother's attack!"
What Jiao Zhi used was a pair of Fang Tian's painted halberds, among the Sichuan-Shanxi Governor's Mansion, their martial arts are the first.Seeing Gui Zhongming lazily not setting up his door, while he was speaking, the two halberds suddenly parted, "pointing to the sky and the earth", and the five-inch-long duck-billed sharp point on the halberd pierced towards Gui Zhongming with a whistling sound. Zhongming's left arm.Hong Tao used a purple gold sword with flower scales, walked around with his knees in his arms, turned to Gui Zhongming's back, took advantage of the situation and quickly spread the blade, cutting across the opponent's lower back.Attacking back and forth, he wanted to put Gui Zhongming to death at once.
Gui Zhongming shouted suddenly, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, spring thunder burst out from his tongue, and he raised his right sword upwards, only to hear a click, and cut off the sharp point of the duckbill of Jiao Zhi Fangtian's halberd!Without looking back, he moved his left hand back to catch the edge of Hong Tao's attacking blade, and with a push, Hong Tao felt a strong pressure, and the 28-jin sword almost flew away from his hand.Jiao Zhi hastily shouted: "Second brother Hong, you go to the left and go forward!" He drew a halberd against Fang Tian, swung it like the wind, and used many tricks to hold Gui Zhongming's two swords desperately.
This is the first time Gui Zhongming has fought against a strong enemy since he recovered his spiritual intelligence.He saw Mao Huanlian leaning on the rock, looking at him with a smile on his face, his spirits were greatly lifted, the two swords were unfurled, and the lightning flashed, and after a while, Jiao Zhi and Hong Tao were completely enveloped by the sword light.Luo Da and the others were dazzled and horrified as they watched from the side. They didn't expect Shi Tiancheng's son to have such kung fu!
After a while, Gui Zhongming could see that Jiao Zhi's halberd technique was all a gimmick, and he didn't dare to confront him head-on. When he was about to go out, Jiao Zhi withdrew his right leg back, swung his left halberd, "raised the fire to touch the sky", lowered his right arm, "flying the wings of a white crane", and swept his right halberd downwards.The main attack of the right halberd is an imaginary move, while the left halberd is the main defense. This is a practical move. Unexpectedly, Gui Zhongming's move is also an imaginary move. As soon as Jiao Zhi raised his left halberd, he spit out and retracted quickly. After a setback, it suddenly turned into a "monkey picking fruit", picking up thorns, a blue light flashed, picking the crotch and stabbing the abdomen, and slammed down the killer!Jiao Zhi yelled, and the two halberds came back to save him at the same time.With a loud shout, Gui Zhongming split a Fangtian painted halberd into two parts from the sword light, and kicked another painted halberd into the air with his right leg. When the house was separated, Gui Zhongming swept Jiao Zhi's buffalo-like body several feet away with one leg, and just hit the rock, seeing that he could not live.
These moves were as quick as lightning, Shi Hong Tao could see clearly, and hurriedly backed away, but it was too late, Gui Zhongming leaped into the air, like a giant eagle flying up from the ground, under Hong Tao's hood, Hong Tao made a move with the Zijin Saber, what Can stop it!There was only a click, the wrist was broken first, and the body was split into two sides.This is the ultimate move in the Wu Qin swordsmanship, it's called "Goshawk Pounces on the Rabbit", it was taught by his mother.
Although Wang Gang and the other three masters looked down on the two guards of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor's Mansion, they didn't expect that they would both be finished in just a cup of tea, and Ling Weifeng, the right idea, hadn't appeared yet.Wang Gang frowned, and was about to go out in person and grab Gui Zhongming's double swords with the Vajra technique.I saw that the Shen family brothers had left hand in hand.Gui Zhongming stood up with both swords, ready to fight.Ling Weifeng shouted loudly: "Brother Guixian, you have already earned enough, so give these two to me!"
The Wu Hook sword technique of the Shen brothers is the true inheritance of Cang Zhouhong's four masters, and it was the joint exercise of the two.Shen Tianhu used a pair of hand hooks to lock and hold the enemy's sword, defending the center and leading the attack; Shen Tianbao used a long sword, which was completely a tactic for attacking.The Wuhook swordsmanship of this pair of brothers is called the best in martial arts, because their offensive and defensive coordination is just right.In the past thirty years, the brothers have taken action and have never lost the wind.Even when they were in the capital, Chu Zhaonan competed with them, exhausted all his efforts, but barely managed to draw.
Ling Weifeng has experienced the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he is well-informed, and he knows the power of the Wu Hook sword technique of the Hong family in Cangzhou.As soon as they saw the Shen family brothers' weapons and their figures when they joined hands, they knew they were Hongmen disciples.He was afraid that although the boy in yellow shirt was strong in martial arts, he was still inexperienced and didn't know how to adapt, so he rushed to catch up and replaced him.
The Shen family brothers set up their doors and shouted: "Accept!" Shen Tianbao stabbed Ling Weifeng's chest with a long sword. As soon as the point of Shen Tianbao's sword reached his chest, his body suddenly moved, and the green steel sword in his hand swung away from Shen Tianbao's sword point with a "dang", and he didn't even look back. Ge Guo, his timing was just right, and the Shen brothers were taken aback. The three fell apart immediately, and stared at each other like fighting cocks. Da Tusi had seen Hong Si perform the Wu Hook Sword thirty years ago, and quietly Said to Lu Dalengzi: "This is what happens when you encounter a very strong opponent. The two brothers wanted to wait for Ling Weifeng to make the first move before finding his empty door to attack. It seems that this 'Tianshan Shenmang' Dare to be kind is really a bit of a skill." Before he finished speaking, Ling Weifeng yelled, the Qinggang sword shook, and swept towards Shen Tianbao, the tip of the sword trembled, and the cold light sprinkled down like waves. With the momentum of the horns, double hooks and a sword, the offensive is also like a storm.The sword is shining, the hook and ring are ringing, and the fight is indistinguishable!
After fighting for more than a hundred moves, the Shen family brothers saw sweat on their foreheads, Ling Weifeng still had a calm expression, the people beside him hadn't noticed anything yet, Wang Gang knew something was wrong, he swung his palms together, and ran out!He shouted loudly: "Two brothers, please step back, and wait to learn Master Ling's sword moves."
The Shen family brothers desperately attacked several moves to cover their retreat.Ling Weifeng suddenly let out a long laugh, and shouted: "You don't have to admit defeat!" As soon as the swordsmanship changed, the Shen family brothers felt the cold air, the cold light shone, and Ling Weifeng's shadow was everywhere.
Wang Gang rushed out of the formation, seeing that the three of them were still fighting endlessly, their swords were squandering, their sword energy was flying freely, where could they get in?Moreover, the two sides had their words beforehand, and it would be embarrassing to play two against one, and if they intervened by themselves, even if they could win, it would make the heroes of the world feel cold.What's more, Wang Gang is a well-known figure, and he has been famous for more than 30 years for his Vajra Sanshou, ahead of all masters.I don't even want to be laughed at.
Wang Gang was hesitating when he suddenly saw Gui Zhongming, a boy in yellow shirt, walking out slowly, and shouted loudly: "Brother Ling has no time to fight with you, so I will pick you up a few tricks." When he came out, he was overjoyed, and said, "In this case, draw your sword!" Gui Zhongming said, "Young master, if you don't show your weapon first, where is your weapon? If you want to fight alone, I will let you advance three moves." Wang Gang Laughing loudly, thinking that this young man must be a young boy who has never made his debut. He is famous in the martial arts world for his Vajra Sanshou. He has never used weapons. He actually asked himself to take out a weapon. Leaning back, he said: "Ask the uncle present, when did you hear me, Wang Gang, using a weapon? You try your best to strike the two swords, and see if I can catch you?"
Gui Zhongming's complexion darkened, and he said coldly: "You laughed a little early, you can laugh again after you see the outcome! At that time, you can laugh and count yourself as a hero. Good! Since you don't use weapons, my lord I'll take a few moves from you empty-handed." After saying that, he pulled out his two swords and threw them towards the cliff suddenly, and the stones flew, and the two swords didn't reach the hilts, and said: "Now, I don't have any weapons on me, don't worry. ? Duh, what's the reason why you don't make any moves? Do you really want to fight or not?"
Gui Zhong revealed his hand, and all the heroes on the sidelines were shocked.Although they have seen Gui Zhongming fighting Jiao Zhi and Hong Tao's martial arts, they all know how powerful Wang Gang is. They thought that Gui Zhongming might not win in a sword fight. To deal with famous figures in martial arts?
When Mao Huanlian saw the group of heroes whispering, her face was horrified, and she also saw Wang Gang's aggressive momentum when she appeared on the stage. She knew that this person must be the head of the five guards with extraordinary martial arts, so she moved forward a few steps unconsciously.Lu Dalengzi thought she was Shi Tiancheng's daughter, so he called softly: "Call your brother back, this man's kung fu is at its peak, Vajra Sanshou, there is no right in the world, let Daxia Ling fight him, maybe he can parry him I can live." After hearing this, Mao Huanlian was shocked at first, but felt a little relieved after hearing it.She thought: Gui Zhongming's kung fu is not much worse than Ling Weifeng's. This person said that Ling Weifeng can stand up, so even if he is the worst, he can support him for a while. At that time, Ling Weifeng had already put those two guys together. Packed up.However, even so, Mao Huanlian still has a heart-wrenching heart, as the so-called love is not general, and she cares too much, and she still moves closer to the arena step by step without knowing it.Although Lu Dalengzi noticed it, he thought: let her go out, and save her in an emergency.Anyway, all the masters over there are already there, so she went up to help the yellow-shirted boy, and it was only three-on-three, so it was not considered a violation of the rules.
When Wang Gang heard that Gui Zhongming told him to attack first, he was furious, and thought: If I slap you down, it won't be strange if I don't beat you into meat paste.Gui Zhongming lazily said with a "pooh": "Don't do it yet, wait for you to explain the funeral?" Wang Gang roared, stretched out his big palm-like hand, grasping the strong wind in his palm, and slapped Gui Zhong Hit the temple tomorrow.Gui Zhongming's body dodged, and he dodged lightly; Wang Gang followed with his left palm, and Gui Zhongming took another three steps back, but still dodged.Wang Gang suddenly jumped forward, turned his palms into fists, "two ghosts knocked on the door", and slammed Gui Zhongming's cheeks, this move was as urgent as sparks, Lu Dalengzi screamed, Mao Huanlian's heart beat suddenly, and he closed his eyes. I closed my eyes and dared not look any more.All the masters present at the scene thought that Gui Zhongming would be murdered. Unexpectedly, Gui Zhongming was so fast that he slipped under Wang Gang's fist when there was no time left, and shouted: "I said that I will let you do three tricks. Do you see?"
It turned out that Gui Zhongming practiced the Great Eagle Claw Kung Fu with his adoptive father Gui Tianlan since he was a child.Dali Eagle Claw Kung Fu and Vajra Sanshou are the same method. He heard from his adoptive father that this kind of hard kung fu is about one-shot and continuous pounces.Gui Zhongming also relied on the fact that he grew up at the top of the Jiange since he was a child, and he lived with apes all day long, so he was born with a superb kung fu.Therefore, he intentionally used words to provoke Wang Gang, and avoided three moves in a row to frustrate his arrogance.But Wang Gang's fist still swept his shoulder, and he felt a burning pain.
Wang Gang didn't know that Gui Zhongming had also suffered setbacks. Seeing him dodging three moves in a row, his spirit was really broken, he was startled and angry, and he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy any longer. Ming's chest hit.He used the skill of "moving the palm of the mountain" in the hands of King Kong San, and Gui Zhongming felt a strong force hit his chest!
Gui Zhongming aroused his supernatural power, jumped into the air, and used his powerful eagle claw skills to grab Wang Gang face to face, and the two met straight.Gui Zhongming yelled, and his ten fingers were like iron hooks, grabbing Wang Gang's wrist.Wang Gang turned his palms over, used the "falling" formula in King Kong San's hands, and swung the back of his palms upwards. Gui Zhongming's body was suspended in the air, and he suffered a loss in luck first. With the extremely dangerous posture in the palm, he leaned back in the air, "kicked" his left foot to Wang Gang's chest, and shouted "get up!" "Turn over the clouds", flipping backwards several feet away.When Gui Zhongming made a strange move, Wang Gang was forced to lower his body to dodge. Although he dodged his chest, he was kicked firmly on his left hip, and he also rolled several feet away on the ground.
When Gui Zhongming landed on the ground, he was thrown by Wang Gang, and the place where his fingertips touched was already bleeding. Wang Gang stood up and saw that there were ten red marks on his wrist, as if he had been burned with matchlock.Both of them were extremely astonished, they didn't expect the other party's skill to be so profound!
Although the two suffered from each other's losses, in the eyes of the onlookers, Gui Zhongming solved the dangerous move with extreme lightness, while Wang Gang wanted to roll and dodge. It was obviously Wang Gang who lost the move.Experts from all walks of life couldn't help being amazed, those who looked down on Gui Zhongming before, now they all look at him with admiration.
Since Wang Gang became famous, he has never encountered such a formidable opponent. He never expected that he would lose his spirit in the hands of a "young boy".At this moment, he didn't dare to rush to win, he kept his strength and adjusted his internal strength, and used the powerful moves of Vajra Sanshou to lead offense and defense, and dealt with Gui Zhongming's powerful eagle claws!
As a result, the situation suddenly reversed.Originally, both of them were about the same in terms of skill, Gui Zhongming was extremely talented, while Wang Gang was seasoned.But Wang Gang has been rampant in Jianghu for more than 30 years, and I don't know how many heroes he has under his command. The rich experience is far beyond Gui Zhongming's comparison.As soon as he "stabilized", he immediately used the tactics of avoiding the reality and attacking the emptiness, and only grabbing the empty goal, forcing Gui Zhongming to switch from offense to defense!Both of them are fierce and fierce in their palms, and they can receive them as soon as they reach them, and they dare not use their old tricks.From the expert's point of view, although the body is not in contact, it is even more shocking than the dangerous move just now.I saw sand and stones flying on the ground, and the leaves of the nearby trees fell down wherever the wind of the palm came.
At the end of the battle, Gui Zhongming gradually felt that he was at a disadvantage. He suddenly shouted and threw out his palms. Both of them gave each other a few steps back.Gui Zhongming's trend slowed down, and when Wang Gang rushed again, his palm style suddenly changed. The palm wind seemed not as strong as before, but every move and style was full of energy, and Wang Gang occasionally touched the palm, only feeling the opponent His hands were soft, but they had great potential to fight back against him. This shock was no small matter, and he hurriedly used all his energy to fight Gui Zhongming with his life's stunt!
Gui Zhongming's hand is the inner strength of cotton palm combined with the hard work of eagle claws.It turned out that his adoptive father, Gui Tianlan, besides being proficient in the Great Eagle Claw Kungfu of his own school, also got acquainted with the Mianzhang of the Neijia family through 20 years of hard work.In the martial arts world, he is the only one who cultivates both and possesses superior skills!
At this time, Ling Weifeng and the Shen family brothers were also fighting fiercely.Ling Weifeng's sword was as fast as a sword, and he forced the Shen brothers into big men.Er Shen displayed what he had learned all his life, all he used was the exquisite moves of the Wu Hook sword technique, the coordination was perfect, and every move was poisonous.But if this is the case, in the end it is still at a disadvantage.Ling Weifeng's swordsmanship was taught by the number one master in the country, and its subtlety and subtlety are beyond the expectations of ordinary people.
Ling Weifeng used Tianshan swordsmanship to fight fiercely against the Shen brothers' Wu Goujian, which is known as the martial arts masterpiece. It was originally a rare sword competition in the martial arts.Lu Dalengzi sighed and said, "This kind of sword competition is really rare in life! It's a pity that there are so many good shows today, and the palm competition over there is a miracle of martial arts. I really wish I could have another pair of eyes!" "
While the masters from all walks of life held their breaths and watched the fierce battle between Gui and Wang, Ling Weifeng and the Shen family brothers had reached the point where the strong survived the weak, and life and death were judged.Shen Tianbao was making a move of "Hengjiang Intercepting Fight", slashing at the waist, trying to stop Ling Weifeng's continuous offensive, but Ling Weifeng made two "hey" and walked with the sword, quickly surpassing Kuang Biao, and the sword in his right hand Turn over, where the blue light flashes, it has strangled Shen Tianbao's neck.Shen Tianhu hit Ling Weifeng's back with double hooks, and Ling Weifeng twisted and twisted his body. Shen Tianhu's double hooks flew into the air, and before he could change his move, he hit Ling Weifeng's chest with a palm. At the same time, Shen Tianbao also gave Ling Weifeng The green steel sword penetrates from the back to the front.
Ling Weifeng wiped off the blood on the edge of the sword on the front of his clothes, turned his head and looked around, flicked the sword and screamed, the mountains and valleys echoed, and the echo was long.Qunhao looked at each other in astonishment, and Wang Gang was even more shocked.
At this time, Gui Zhongming became more and more courageous in his fight, using the cotton palm and the eagle claw in a row, and the two palms raised, full of strong wind!Wang Gang had no intention of fighting, so he suddenly resorted to cunning and bluffed a move.Gui Zhongming's palm is like a knife sharpening, he slashes straight down, as fast as a shooting star.Wang Gang suddenly bumped his left shoulder forward, and with a sound of "canopy", he took Gui Zhongming's palm!He also took advantage of the momentum and moved forward, with five fingers like hooks, he grabbed Gui Zhongming's right wrist and twisted it with his hands.Wang Gang actually suffered a palm injury on his shoulder, trying to win in defeat, and used the most powerful capture technique in King Kong's hands, trying to capture Gui Zhongming alive and take him as a hostage.Seeing that the two Shen brothers attacked together, they were still killed by Ling Weifeng's sword. He knew he was no match, so he wanted to use Gui Zhongming to blackmail Ling Weifeng.
Unexpectedly, although Gui Zhongming fell into the enemy's trick because of his inexperience, he had a profound skill in the end, and he remained unruffled in the face of danger. With a shake of his right arm, it was as hard as an iron rod. Although he couldn't shake his hand, Wang Gang couldn't move him , his left hand was not idle, he punched, and there was another "bang", hitting Wang Gang's chin, Wang Gang said "wow", blood spurted out from his mouth, and the two rows of front teeth were completely shattered, causing great pain Heart and lungs, the right hand had to be loosened, and turned backwards!
Because Mao Huanlian cared too much, she moved closer to the arena step by step. When Gui Zhongming was in danger, she flew up in spite of everything. Wang Gang turned upside down. Overjoyed, as soon as he grabbed it with his right hand, Mao Huanlian faced a handful of deadly god sand. Wang Gang didn't dodge, and the grains were embedded in the flesh. He still flew towards the god sand, and grabbed it. , using the whole body of Mao Huanlian as a weapon, swung it up, and swung it around. Gui Zhongming clasped the gold ring in his hand, and was about to launch it. He was forced to let it go again, and flew after Wang Gang. Behind Wang Gang, he shouted loudly. Said: "You put her down, I will spare your death!"
Wang Gang grinned grinningly and ran with all his might. Gui Zhongming pulled out his swords at the edge of the rock. Ling Weifeng caught up with the whirlwind. , no one dared to make a move.
In an instant, two valleys have been chased out, and the front suddenly becomes clear.At this time, the sun was shining, and everyone could hear the sound of water like thunder. A waterfall on the top of the mountain rushed down like Bailian, and formed a pool at the bottom of the valley. There was a cave beside the pool. The water flower, in front of the cave, seems to hang a water curtain, and the sun shines, turning into a seven-color ribbon, which is extremely beautiful!But none of the crowd was in the mood to enjoy the scenery, and they all kept chasing forward without saying a word.
Ling Weifeng's movement is extremely fast, he has already passed the group of heroes, and now he has caught up with Gui Zhongming, not far from Wang Gang.He patted Gui Zhongming on the shoulder, and shouted in a low voice: "Get out of the way, and wait for me to save her!" Electric shot out.Gui Zhongming yelled in horror: "What are you doing?" It's too late to stop it!
Wang Gang thought that he was safe with Maohuanlian as a cover, but Ling Weifeng's hidden weapon technique was amazing. The three Tianshan divine lights were all false hairs. After a while, the fourth divine light came again like a shooting star chasing the moon. Wang Gang was about to swing the Mao Huanlian to block it again. With a bang, the divine light passed through his right arm. Huanlian fell to the ground.Wang Gang heard Ling Weifeng's overwhelming voice, he didn't care about hurting Mao Huanlian any more, he rushed forward a few feet anxiously, and ran like hell!
Ling Weifeng jumped in front of him, gently lifted Mao Huanlian up, stretched out his hand to pat her, unlocked her acupuncture points, smiled and said to Gui Zhongming who was chasing up: "I'll hand it back to you, she's not hurt at all. Don't worry!"
Wang Gang ran furiously. Apart from the severe pain in his right arm, he suddenly felt numb and itchy all over his body, and his mind gradually became dizzy.This shock was no small matter, and he hurriedly lifted his mind, only then remembered that the handful of sand caught just now turned out to be "Dark Qingzi" fed poison, and his soul was out of his body in fright, and Ling Weifeng chased after him!He was sweating profusely, and he was in a state of frenzy. He was in a hurry, and even leaped a few feet, jumping over the pool formed by the waterfall. Ling Weifeng yelled, and another branch of Tianshan Shenmang shot from behind. , Wang Gang was unable to avoid it, so he was forced to rush forward, crossing the water curtain of the cave, all the strength of his body was concentrated on his left arm, and with a crackling sound, he slammed his palm on the stone in the cave .Wang Gang's Vajra Hand has decades of skill, and he struck desperately with astonishing strength. He saw the palm of his hand smashed, and the broken stones flew up. With a bang, the stone gate was half opened. It turned out that a thousand catties of stone strips were used as the gate inside. Stop it in the same way, now the force of Wang Gang's palm is broken, and the stone gate will open.But Wang Gang's palm strength was too strong, and Shimen bounced back, his wrist was broken, he was rushed by the waterfall, fell into the bottomless pool, struggled a few times, and was submerged for a while.When Ling Weifeng and other masters rushed to the edge of the pool, they saw a few ripples on the pool, swaying in all directions.This rebellious martial artist, a foreign master, has disappeared with the waves.
Experts from all walks of life stood in front of the pool, silent.Witnessing this thrilling fierce battle and Wang Gang's tragic death with no bones left, they were stunned and each had their own emotions.After a long time, Lu Dalengzi breathed out and said: "It's what it is! It's what it is! This thief should have been dealt with by someone long ago!" Chieftain Dasi glanced at Ling Weifeng and thought to himself: "Although I have never competed with Wang Gang, but Judging by his vajra palm strength and external skills, it doesn't seem to be inferior to my iron cloth shirt's horizontal kung fu, but now he is forced to death by Ling Weifeng with a few hidden weapons, it seems that this Tianshan God's name really lives up to his reputation." Luo Da said roundly. Lulu opened his eyes wide, staring at the stone cave in a daze.
At this time, Mao Huanlian has been walking slowly with the boy in yellow. Seeing that the water curtain is like a ribbon, reflecting the sun and shining brightly, while the shadow of the pool below is long, the waves are brighter than the snow, and suddenly thinks of a picture and jumps up.
With a thought in his mind, Gui Zhongming pulled Mao Huanlian and said, "Isn't this the invisible picture my adoptive father left on the yellow shirt?" The place in the middle." After speaking, he beckoned Ling Weifeng to come over. Seeing them whispering, Ling Weifeng smiled softly and said, "I don't want to be a cowhide lantern." Mao Huanlian blushed and said, "Hero Ling, I It's serious."
Ling Weifeng didn't know that the yellow shirt was incinerated last night and the picture appeared.At that time, he was patrolling outside the stone house with a sword. Now, after listening to Mao Huanlian in detail, he closed his eyes and meditated. After a while, he said: "Senior Gui left invisible pictures, and even Mrs. Shi didn't know about them. There must be something in them. It's very important, why don't we go in and find out?" Mao Huanlian said: "Wait a minute, what do the seven big characters on the painting 'left three right four middle twelve' mean? Look at it for me." Ling Wei Feng Dao: "Maybe it's a code, maybe it refers to the number and location of the hidden objects."
At this time, all the heroes were watching from the other hole, and seeing the three of them whispering and exchanging glances, Luo Da, the owner of Meishan Village, was especially anxious, sitting up and down, looking at Shuilian Cave for a while, and Ling Weifeng for a while.
While everyone was watching intently and thinking about each other, suddenly there was a sound of "woo" in the sky above the deep valley, and a loud arrow flew past, followed by two more arrows. Luo Da stood up abruptly, pursing his lips and screaming strangely.Ling Weifeng was surprised. After half a cup of tea, an old man with a hunchback appeared in the valley. Although he looked ugly, he was extremely agile.Suddenly, he arrived in front of Qunhao.Luo Da was overjoyed, and went up to meet him and shouted: "Brother Han, wait for us to die." Lu Dalengzi and Chieftain Da also got up to greet him. Although Tao Hong and Zhang Yuanzhen didn't know this person, they followed Luo Da and others' respect. Come out to greet.Ling Weifeng, Gui Zhongming and Mao Huanlian were still sitting by the pool.Calmly, carefully observe the intentions of these green forest heroes and hunchbacked old men.
The hunchbacked old man called Big Brother Han couldn't ask Ling Weifeng's name. When he saw the water curtain fluttering and the cave door opened, he patted Luoda on the shoulder and said, "My dear brother, this is the place! Has anyone ever gone in there?" ?” Rhoda shook his head.Chieftain Da said: "Let's go in together, one ladle of water and six bowls, let's drink!" Lu Dalengzi pointed at Ling Weifeng and the others and said, "There will be three bowls over there!" Chieftain Da said in a low voice: "They don't know, they don't have their share!" Ling Weifeng's ears are extremely sharp, and he heard them slandering green forests from a distance, talking about dividing water and drinking, thinking: Could there be any rare treasures hidden in this cave, so that Alarm these devils, gather here, and discuss the distribution of spoils?
Chieftain Da, Luo Da and others were about to invite Tao and Zhang to go in, when the hunchbacked old man suddenly said: "Wait a minute, let one person go in and have a look first. Whoever is willing to go, let him drink an extra bowl!" Luo Da jumped He got up and said, "I'll go!" He raised his arms, jumped over the six or seven zhang wide pool, braved the splash of the waterfall, passed through the water curtain, and rushed into the cave.Qunhao looked at each other intently, Ling Weifeng and the other three also stood up and watched.The atmosphere is as if the trees are silent, and the clouds are waiting for the rain, which is extremely tight.After a while, a scream was suddenly heard in the cave, and when everyone looked closely, they saw Luo Da rushing out with disheveled hair, bathed in blood, and there were bows and arrows whizzing out from the cave, as if there were armored soldiers lurking.Luo Da is also very skilled, he was wounded by the arrow, but still rushed to the edge of the pool, tapped him with one foot, performed the lightness kung fu of "a crane soaring to the sky", and then flew over the pool.But the surface of the pool was more than seven feet wide. After he was injured, his gong power had weakened, and when he was in the middle of the sky, he suddenly fell and flew into the center of the pool.Lu Dalengzi let out a loud cry, bowed his body, and shot out like an arrow, skimming to the center of the pool, just in time to catch up, he supported Luo Da's body with one palm, and went to the other shore together.Everyone burst into applause.Seeing Ling Weifeng, he also secretly praised Lu Dalengzi's lightness kung fu, which has reached the state of perfection.
Lu Dalengzi and Luo Da have been friends for more than 30 years. At first, both of them were green forest tyrants who were drunk, murdered and robbed. But it got worse, and even the heroic spirit that was still there gradually disappeared, and he became more and more greedy, narrow-minded, and gradually parted ways with Lu Dalengzi. Get him out of danger.
Lu Dalengzi carried him to the other side, looked down, and saw that he had suffered many arrow wounds on his body, the blood was gushing like a fountain, and he was out of breath, so he said silently: "Brother Luo, calm down, adjust your breathing, don't be afraid !" After saying that, he held him under his shoulders, performed his super lightness kung fu again, and jumped over the pool.
Passing here, all the heroes came to visit. Lu Dalengzi asked Da Tusi for some Yunnan Baiyao, and applied it on the arrow wound. Although the bleeding stopped, he was still unconscious. He probably ran for his life after being seriously injured. Exhausted strength, so much so.Lu Dalengzi said silently: "Brother Luo may not save his life!" Ling Weifeng suddenly took out a green pill from his bosom, handed it over and said, "Take it for him!" Lu Dalengzi glanced at it, and Ling Weifeng Fengdao: "This is the Bi Ling Pill made from Tianshan snow lotus, even if you are hit by a poisoned arrow, you can save your life." Qunhao was surprised when he heard that Tianshan snow lotus is an extremely rare thing, even better than Yunnan Baiyao Many, Baiyao only heals external injuries, it can even heal internal injuries. Unexpectedly, Ling Weifeng met by chance, so he gave a strange medicine.Lu Dalengzi was especially grateful.
After everyone finished cooking Rhoda, they picked for a while.Dashisi shouted: "Li Dingguo is so thoughtful, how dare he expect that we will come to ask for his things decades later?" Zhang Yuanzhen said: "Shall we go?" And wait for two more people to come!"
Ling Weifeng listened to them chattering and chatting, and he expected something in his heart. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly stood up, pulled Gui Zhongming, touched Ling Weifeng, and said in a loud voice: "The three of us go first!" Zhang Yuanzhen I thought to myself, let the three of you go to "stop the disaster" first.He raised his thumb and said, "Here! Hero Ling will go to investigate, and nothing will go wrong!" Lu Dalengzi shouted, "Hero Ling, you'd better stay a little longer."
Ling Weifeng glanced at Mao Huanlian, saw her eyes were full of confidence, and with a thought, he said loudly: "It doesn't matter!" With a leap of his arms, he jumped over the pool.
Gui Zhongming and Mao Huanlian also jumped over the pool hand in hand, followed Ling Weifeng, floated through the water curtain, and arrived in front of the cave.Mao Huanlian saw that there were only a few water droplets splashed on Ling Weifeng's body, and Gui Zhongming only had some water droplets scattered on the ground, but he was wet.I thought that I followed Uncle Fu to learn art, and lightness kung fu is the most rewarding. Even the monk Guai Toutuo Tongming admired me, but today I can't compare it.No wonder Ling Weifeng is famous all over the Northwest, he has reached a state of perfection in every skill.
The three of them stopped in front of the cave, and Ling Weifeng guarded the entrance of the cave with a horizontal sword, and said to Gui Zhongming, "Push open the stone door on the left, so that we can take a closer look." Gui Zhongming responded and said yes , with both palms, he pushed on the stone door and shouted: "Open!" The stone door moved immediately and hit the wall directly.At this time, the door of the cave was wide open, and the sunlight from outside, passing through the water curtain, shone in.The three of them gazed at each other, and saw two rows of stone figures lined up around the cave. The distance between each stone figure was about ten feet. Some held swords, some held spears, and those stone figures The strange shape and hideous appearance, coupled with the gloomy atmosphere in the cave, make people feel even more mysterious and terrifying.
When I looked carefully again, I saw that the bows and arrows were scattered on the ground, and there were some broken spear-tips and swords. Only then did I see clearly that some stone men only had half of their weapons left.But the middle passage of the stone cave is empty and empty.Although the sun shines in from the outside, but because the cave is deep and secluded, the inside is so dark that you can no longer see clearly.
Ling Weifeng pondered for a while, then said to Guimao and the two of them: "I think there is a mechanism hidden here, and even the stone man may be manipulated to move. The bow and arrow on the ground should be triggered by Luoda coming in just now. His spearhead and sword were interrupted by his palms when he was struggling. We should be careful not to make the same mistake as Luo Da." Gui Zhongming said: "We have become riding tigers. If we tell the truth, we will be ridiculed by them .”
Mao Huanlian smiled slightly, picked up a few stones on the ground, told Ling Gui and the others to take a few steps back, handed the stones to Ling Weifeng and said: "You have the most accurate hidden weapons, try throwing the first stone On the left side of the entrance of the cave, throw the second stone one step away from ordinary people, and throw the third stone one step away from the second stone, and see what happens." Gui Zhongming said again: "You stick The sword is guarding Ling Daxia, and if there is an arrow of wisdom shot, you can call with the sword." Ling Weifeng threw three stones as he said, and nothing happened.Mao Huanlian said: "You throw the fourth piece again." Ling Weifeng threw it as he said.At the place where the stone fell, there was a sound of "peng", and the ground sank a little. Suddenly, a row of crossbow arrows was shot, shooting randomly from front to back, left, and right. Two or three arrows shot out of the cave entrance. fall.
Ling Weifeng said happily: "Miss Mao, you are so smart. According to this calculation, if you throw it on the right side of the cave, the first four stones should be fine, and the fifth stone will trigger the crossbow. I will try again." Said Then he picked up five stones from the ground and threw them towards the entrance of the cave.Unexpectedly, as soon as the first one hit the ground, the crossbow arrows shot towards them like locusts!
This row of crossbow arrows shot out suddenly, and they were so close to each other. Ling Weifeng didn't have time to move his palm and shake it down.Gui Zhongming danced with both swords, and the crossbow arrows broke one after another and fell to the ground.
Ling Weifeng frowned and smiled bitterly, looked at Mao Huanlian and said, "Girl, the algorithm on the left is correct, but the right is wrong, what should I do?" After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Hero Ling, try again. If it's not right this time, we have no choice but to withdraw." Ling Weifeng said: "How do we try?" Mao Huanlian said: "You are the third person from the left of the cave. Counting from one step to another, imagine you are there, jumping horizontally, jumping right between the two stone men on the right, and then take four steps, if all four steps are all right, then you are right. You still use stones to compete.” Ling Weifeng competed as he said, and the first stone was thrown three steps away from the entrance of the cave on the right, and it was fine.The second, third, and fourth stones were thrown in a row, each stone landed one step away, and nothing unusual happened. Mao Huanlian exclaimed happily: "That's right, you throw the fifth stone again." , This time there must be another crossbow bolt coming out." Ling Weifeng threw it as he said, and sure enough, there was another bang, and a row of crossbow bolts were fired, the distance between them was far away, and the crossbow bolts fell before hitting the entrance of the cave.
Ling Weifeng said: "According to this algorithm, after taking four steps to the right, you will immediately jump to the middle, take another twelve steps in a row, and then turn to the left and take three steps, right?" Mao Huanlian nodded and said: "It should be calculated in this way." Ling Weifeng picked up a large handful of stones on the ground and threw them with a heavy hand. Sure enough, only when the thirteen stones were thrown in the middle did the curved arrow shoot out. Ling Weifeng smiled and said: "It's done! Let's go in." Mao Huanlian said: "Wait a minute. We have to calculate the position of the stone man, whether we also need to count the number of steps." Ling Weifeng threw the stone on the side of the stone man, and the arrows flew out one after another.但若算准步数，则掷在石人前面，也没有弯箭。凌未风拍掌说道：“现在完全弄清楚了，碰到石人之时，不能从侧面绕过，应当从头顶飞越，但又不能跳得太远，要刚好落在石人前面一步，才合原来的算法。”冒浣莲道：“对了。你再试用石头掷那些石人。”凌未风随便选择一个石人，一石击去，只见那个石人身子突向前倾，手中的大刀一刀斩下，斩在地上，激得尘上飞扬。过了一会，又转了几转，仍复原状，冒浣莲道：“那些石人可碰不得。”凌未风笑道：“碰碰也不要紧，那攻石人就只有那一下子，又不会走动，碰了亡避开就是了。当然，若要避免麻烦，还是不碰的好。”
桂仲明道：“现在可以进去吧？”凌未风道：“可以了。亏得冒小姐机灵，居然想通了黄衫上的隐语。”冒浣莲道：“幸得你在这儿，要不然就试不出来，莫说想通了。你的石头可掷得准极了。”桂仲明笑道：“冒姐姐，你这可是外行话了。石头掷准不难，最难得的是他用内家重手法掷去，一粒小小的石子，碰着地面时，就等于一个大人踏在上面一样，这才能激发弯箭，你当随便掷一粒石子，就试得出来吗？”冒浣莲笑道：“总之我佩服就是了。我们进去吧。”
凌未风一马当前，桂仲明仗剑殿后，冒浣莲夹在中间，鱼贯从左面进入了山洞。走了几步，凌未风打横一跃，跳在石面两个石人之间，这时冒浣莲已踏上一步，站在凌未风原先的位置，与凌未风遥遥相对，恰恰成一直线。
凌未风在石边再踏上一步，招手道：“你过来。”桂仲明暮然想起，打横跳过来不难，但要落足之点，恰到好处，若非轻功已到炉火纯青之境，却是不能。他不禁轻轻拉着冒浣莲的手道：“你在这里留守吧，让我和凌大侠去探也就行了。”冒浣莲回眸一笑，见他眼光注定自己，又是感激，又是好笑。低声说道：“你放心，这点功夫我还有。”说罢，摔开了桂仲明的手，轻轻一跃，果然踏在凌未风让出的空位上，她的轻功虽比不上凌、桂二人，但在武林中也已经算是第一流的了。
三人按照“左三右四中十二”的步法，迂回走进，不久便到了山洞深幽处，凌未风亮起火折。再向前行，在黑暗中三人越发提心吊胆，又走了一会，只见眼前许多佛像，凌未风举起火把一照，细细一数，原来是十八罗汉的塑像。每尊罗汉都有一丈多高，这时已经是走到石洞的尽头了。
按照步法，三人此刻恰好鱼贯站在几座佛像之前，凌未风向桂仲明道：“你取出几枚金环向左右两侧打去，看看如何？”桂仲明依言打去，凌未风、冒浣莲都仗剑防卫，桂仲明每边打了三枚金环，毫无异状。凌未风道：“如果山洞藏有宝物的话，一定是在佛坛之上，或者是在罗汉之下了。所以这一列佛像下面，毫无埋伏，想来就是留给当时埋宝的人，工作方便的。”桂仲明道：“那他们为什么不在埋宝之后，再设机关呢？”
冒浣莲皱眉苦想，缓缓说道：“事情古怪得很，如果埋有宝物的话，宝物可能是很笨重的，要许多人才抬得动，所以这一带才不设理伏，以便出入，但依常情而论，是宝物就不该笨重，这可怎么解释？”停了一停，她又道：“当然，这只是我的猜度之词。这列罗汉的前面，即没有机关，我们就一一察看吧。”说罢与凌未风分头察看。桂仲明却兀立正中不动，双目注定罗汉，不知在想什么。
凌未风艺高胆大，他细细察看石面的九尊罗汉，每尊罗双的外表都是黑漆漆的，用手去摸，坚硬结实，似是生铁铸成。与西北普通寺院的罗汉毫无二致。他叫冒浣莲在背面照样察看，亦无异状。凌未风正想随手把一尊罗汉搬开，忽然听得冒浣莲高声叫道：“仲明，你做什么？”
原来冒浣莲在察看罗汉之时，偶然回头一望，见桂仲明痴痴的立在当中，端详看主座的佛像，动也不动，她只道桂仲明旧病复发，又变痴呆，因此不禁惊叫起来！
你道桂仲明为什么仔细端详主座的佛像？原来那尊佛像的相貌，竟然不是一般罗汉的形象，是一个他所熟悉的人，起初他想来想去都想不起，后来仔细回忆，才想起这尊佛像竟然就是当年川滇义军的主帅，统领张献忠遗部联明抗清的大将李定国。他幼年随义父桂天澜在李定国军中有四五年之久，李定国还抱过他呢。冒浣莲以为他旧病复发，其实不是，恰恰相反，他正逐渐恢复灵智之中，对童年事情，也都记得起来了！
桂仲明欢喜之极，用手抱着佛像的腰，摇撼了几下，高声叫道：“李伯伯，你还记得我吗？”他的手掌触着长蛇一样的滑溜溜的东西，竟会滑动，他大吃了一惊，双掌用力一按，人向后面便倒纵出去，刚刚越过禁区的边缘，蓬的一声，乱箭射出。幸得他轻功超卓，脚跟方触实地，已自醒起，急又向前纵，凌未风双掌齐发，一把碎石将乱箭碰落地上！
在他向前纵跃之际，又一奇事发生，主座佛像腰间突然飞出一道白光，劈面射来，凌未风一枝神芒打去，碰个正着，白光缓得一缓，仍然射来，桂仲明这时已趁势拔出双剑，向上撩去，只听得一阵金铁交鸣之声，自己两把长剑，全给截断，而那道白光也已堕在地上。
这时凌未风和冒浣莲一同赶到，只见地上躺着一支似剑非剑的东西，蛇一般在地上颤动不休，剑身很窄，剑尖钝形，剑柄极短。桂仲明轻轻提起剑柄，捉将起来，只觉软绵绵的似条腰带，他试着轻轻一卷，居然卷成一圈，大失所望，说道：“这算得什么兵刃？”凌未风双眼闪闪放光，大喜叫道：“桂贤弟，你试用力抖动，将已伸直，结果如何？”桂仲明依言一抖，那团东西骤的伸出四五尺长，试一挥动，只见光辉流动，剑风扑人，一点也没有软绵绵的感觉，桂仲明舞了一阵，将剑收起，说道：“怎么这把剑如此奇怪！”
冒浣莲急不可待，赶忙问道：“先别管它是不是宝剑。你现在怎样？记得起以前的事情吗？”桂仲明道：“我现在什么都记得起了，小孩子时候的事也记得起。”他指一指主座的佛像说道：“这尊佛像塑的是李伯伯。”凌未风问道：“哪个李伯伯？”桂仲明道：“还有哪个？就是李定国将军嘛！”
凌未风喜道：“这就是了，你拿剑给我看看。”桂冲明将剑递过，凌未风眼睛一亮，指着剑柄上的小字道：“你看这里写的是什么？”桂仲明读道：“腾蛟宝剑，传自前贤，留赠英豪，李定国拜。”冒浣莲道：“那么这是李定国的佩剑了，怪不得如此厉害。只是他为什么要留下这行小字？这把剑又如何会藏在山洞之中了而且更奇怪的是，它怎会突然飞出？难道世间真的会有什么飞剑不成？”凌未风说道：“飞剑是绝不会有的。它会飞出，那是桂贤弟用力触发的，你若不信，且随我来。”
凌未风在地上拾起那枝被截为两段的神芒，说道：“天山神芒，坚逾钢铁，又经我用重手法打出，还是给截为两段，你这把宝剑，看来还在楚昭南的游龙剑之上。”边说边走，到了主座佛像之前，桂仲明和冒浣莲跟在他的背后。凌未风一指神坛上的一条东西道：“你们看这是什么？”桂仲明拿起一看，只见黑漆漆的似一条腰带。用手一捻，才知道是夹层的，试用刚得的宝剑往里一插，正是一个极好的剑鞘。凌未风笑道：“这剑鞘是可以卷起来的，你试试看。”桂仲明依言一试，果然不虚。
凌未风在主座佛像的周围察看了一下，向桂仲明说道：“你这把剑本来就是围在这尊佛像腰间的腰带，你刚才用力一拔之时，触动弹簧，剑就离鞘急射出来了。”桂仲明道：“凌大侠，你怎的好像很知道这把剑的来历？”凌未风说道：“我在天山学剑之时，晦明禅师曾将著名的武林人物和著名的宝剑讲给我听。他说有一把'腾蛟剑'，乃是明朝辽东经略熊延弼的佩剑，这把剑用东北的白金（铂）精炼而成，屈伸如意，可以当作腰带围在腰间。真可称得是'百炼钢如绕指柔'。熊延弼曾仗这把剑杀了许多鞑子，后来熊延弼给奸臣魏忠贤害死。这把剑就此不知下落。想不到现在竟在此处发现。看剑上的字，大约后来是为李定国所获，李定国兵败之后，就交给心腹爱将保存，叫他留赠英豪的。留字所说的'得自前贤'这前贤就是指熊延弼。”桂仲明骇然道：“我常听义父说起，熊延弼是可以媲美岳武穆的爱国名将，他的剑李定国配用那是得其传人，我怎敢使这把剑？凌大侠，你的剑法独步海内，还是你要了吧。”凌未风笑道：“这是你发现的，理应归你所有。再说一句僭越的话，我和你所学的剑法不同，我所学的剑法，随便用一把普通的剑，都可以敌得住对方的宝剑。我要了这把剑，对我没多大帮助，而对你却很有好处。若你怕配不上这把剑，那就留在身边。待以后再送给适当的人吧。”桂仲明见他说得如此直率，也就不再推让。
正在桂仲明和凌未风论剑时，洞口忽然又发现火光，凌未风拍拍桂仲明的肩头道：“你准备试这把剑吧！外面有人来了。”三人屏息以待，只见洞中有几条人影，左右跳跃，不过一会，就到了佛像之前。一个是驼背老人韩荆；一个是达土司，另一个人他们却不认得。
原来凌未风等进了洞口，外面群豪，更是紧张。过了许久，还未见他们出来，达土司就想闯进洞去。韩荆听得远处有口哨声隐隐传来，接着达土司道：“别忙，让他们三人开路，我们保证手到拿来。”
张元振卢大楞子定睛看时，只见一个老汉已和韩荆打上招呼。韩荆举手说道：“贺老兄来了，这事情就好办了。贺老兄就是当年奉李定国所派，协助桂天澜造山洞机关的人。”当下韩荆两边介绍，群豪才知此人就是三十年前有名的巧手匠人贺万方，他擅制各种暗器，武功也很不错，贺万方也久闻群豪大名，当下各自叙礼相见，韩荆问道：“还有两位呢？”贺万方说道：“在进入山谷时，我们分路的。他们去打桂老头儿，我却迳自来这里。”韩荆笑道：“我们来时还怕桂老头阻挡，故此遍约高手，谁知到了这里，才知道他已经死了。”
贺万方道：“早知如此，不约他们来，还可以少分两份。”达土司道：“不然，桂老头儿虽然死了，但恐怕还有阻碍。刚才进山洞的那个什么'天山神芒'和黄衫少年，硬份恐怕不在桂天澜之下。人多一些，有备无患。”卢大楞子道：“每人分他一份好了。”
韩荆来时，已在王刚等伏诛之后，没有见过凌、桂二人身手，“嗤”一声笑道：“亏你还是外家拳顶尖儿的人物，怎的会怕起两个晚生后辈来！”达土司怒道：“谁人害怕？但别人是高手，也不容你轻视。你拿图样过来，我一个人进去。”贺万方急忙说：“我们正要入洞探视，人多去也不好，就三个人去吧，达土司是一片好意，我们是该小心一点好！”韩荆冷冷点了点头，与达士司、贺万方跃过水帘，飘身进了山洞。
贺万方深悉洞中机关，自然知道走法。不一会他就带领两人到了坛前。韩荆一眼望去，见桂仲明正在摩擎佛像，心中一跳，以为他们已经发现了秘密，不假思索，奋力一跃，举起手中的兵器龙头拐杖，向桂仲明头顶拍下，这根拐杖是用百炼精钢打成，十分坚硬。桂仲明反手一抖，腾蛟宝剑猛的伸长，只听得“当啷”一声，那根拐杖登时给截去一半。韩荆大吃一惊，怔了一怔，勃然大怒，半根拐杖横里一扫，内力震动，桂仲明见面前似有十几根拐杖打来，大喝一声，平地跃起，避过拐仗，腾蛟剑一个盘旋，剑花错落，当头罩下，这正是五禽剑法中的绝招“展翼摩云”。韩荆的杖法虽然迅疾已极，仍然避不开与剑接触，“当啷”一声，又截去一段。韩荆双眼血红，未待桂仲明脚落实地，忙用天魔杖法中的绝招“披星赶月”，斜斜一跃，手中那截短杖宛如银蛇乱击，竟向桂仲明丹田穴打来。桂仲明剑招未收，迫得连运绝顶轻功，将剑一旋，剑尖点着杖头，便藉着这一点之力，向后倒纵出去。冒浣莲惊呼声中，他已倒翻在左侧一尊佛像之旁，收势不及，手中剑碰着佛像的手里，“喀嚓”一声，竟把佛像的手臂切了下来。手臂跌下，发出金光，桂仲明低头一看，只见竟是外面包着铁皮的赤金。不禁叫道：“这些是金罗汉！”
驼背老人韩荆哈哈大笑，高声说道：“是的，十八尊罗汉都是黄金铸成，但这是有主之物，你们觊觎，那可不成！”凌未风喝道：“谁是主人？”韩荆指着自己的鼻子说道：“就是咱家，你们给我滚出洞去！”
凌未风冷笑一声，走过来说道：“看你这驼背老儿财迷心窍，我们可以分给你几两买棺材的本钱！”韩荆大怒，看凌未风走过，突然伸手往主座佛像一推，那佛像摇摇摆摆，便待后倒。凌未风大喝一声，双掌一挡，“轰隆”一声，佛像跌落地上。韩荆又是大吃一惊，他本想把佛像推倒，谁知却气力不够，凌未风这一反推之力，比他强了许多。
佛像倒后，座下现出一只锦盒来，凌未风打开锦盒，拿出一张信笺，桂仲明仗剑纵了过来，守在他的身边，腾蛟剑光芒四射，韩荆拿着被截短了的拐杖，轻轻喘气，不敢走近。他看看达土司，达士司却冷冷地站在当中，并无出手之意。
凌未风拿起信笺一看，只见上面写道：“乙酉之年，孟秋之月，大盗移国，宗室南迁，滇边奔命，有去无瓜中兴之望，期于后一世，定国奉大西王之遗命与永历帝之御旨，以黄金十万八千斤，铸成十八罗汉，藏于此洞。留待豪杰之士，以为复国之资。若有取作私用者，人天共诛。”
这批黄金正是李定国逃奔缅甸前，遣桂天澜建洞收藏的。大盗是指吴三桂，大西王则是张献忠的王号，永历帝就是后来吴三桂追到缅甸擒杀的桂王朱由榔（崇祯时封永明王，明神宗之孙）。李定国原是张献忠手下的大将、后来奉桂王为帝抗清的。张献忠在溃败之时，一怒之下，将金银珠宝沉落川江，其时，尚有几万斤金砖在李定国军中，张献忠驰书叫他将黄金毁灭，他不肯奉此乱命，遣使回报，力陈应该保存这批黄金，其实张献忠已是兵败受伤，奄奄一息，闻言对来人说道：“咱老子本要天下财富与我同归于尽，李定国这小子却把这点点黄金，看得如此重要，你回去告诉他，不毁掉也行，但不能让敌人得去。”张献忠沉在川江的金银珠宝，比这批黄金的价值，不知高出多少倍。他哪里将这点点东西看在眼内，因此对李定国的“抗命”，也就算了。否则照他的性格，哪容得李定国不依。
李定国拥立永历帝之后，又被吴三桂大军一路追击。永历自知复国无望，又将所藏的黄金几万斤交给李定国叫他设法收藏。两顶一共十万八千斤，李定国于是挑选心腹三百人，每人献血立誓，誓不泄漏，这三百人就交由桂天澜率领，秘密将黄金运进山谷，在洞中铸成十八罗汉。
桂天澜亲自督工，一面辟洞，一面铸像，许多工匠已遣回军中，最后只剩下了六七个巧匠，在里面布置机关，贺万方就是参与其事的巧匠之一，驼背老人韩荆则是桂天澜的副手。到工程接近完成之际，桂天澜连韩荆都差遣回去，不让他知道机关秘密，当时韩荆心里就不大舒服，但又不能说出来，这气已闷了二十多年。
十万八千斤黄金藏好之后，桂天澜和巧匠也回到军中，经过连年激战，直追到缅甸，李定国的三百亲信剩下的已寥寥无几。李定国一死，这些人也就星散了。
桂天澜奉遗命，隐剑阁，一为避清廷搜索，二为保护藏金。因他曾献血立誓，所以在未死之前，连石大娘也不告知，这样年复一年，流光如矢，眼见清廷已抵定中原，各地的零星义军又未成气候，桂天澜极目山川，心伤逝者，抚御兴叹，复国难期。因此在黄衫上留下隐形图画，原想待桂仲明长大之后，将秘密告诉他，让他去闯荡江湖，图谋复国，日后好按图索骥，取出藏金，却不料平空插进石天成这段恩怨风波，桂仲明弃家远走，桂天澜也惨死荒山。
再说韩荆，自李定国死后隐居川东，二十多年，也练就一身技业，隐隐成了川东的武林之雄，各路武林高手，对他都很尊敬。他本来已无意再图大事，也不想偷取藏金。不料当日参与其事的一个工匠刧后余生，几经艰苦投到眉山寨主罗达手下，竟然起了贪念，将藏金之事告诉罗达，纵恿他去取，并告诉他，韩荆就是当日的主事人之一。罗达听了大喜，亲自拜门，求韩荆相助。他的说法非常巧妙，一面激起韩荆英雄垂暮之心，叫他取出金来，好在武林称霸；一面挑唆他与桂天澜决一雌雄，以增他的武林声望。韩荆本来是个心高气傲的人，临老糊涂，想起这批黄金反正已无主人，自己取来，立刻富可敌国，竟然也起了贪念，和罗达做了一路，并且另外邀约两个高手，准备去对付桂天澜。
事情虽秘，不知怎的，却也漏出来，四川武功最强的几个武林人物，竟不约而同地到了剑阁，这些人和罗达一样，哪里有什么大志，只是想夺取重金。
至于那柄腾蛟宝剑，也是李定国临死时交给桂天澜，叫他代为收藏，留赠英豪的。桂天澜就把它系在主座佛像的腰间，作为腰带。他为了纪念李定国，把这座佛像塑成李定国的相貌。那宝剑无巧不巧，也落在桂仲明手中。
凌未风看完李定国遗书之后，对藏金地来历已是明了，于是，对着韩荆嘿的一声冷笑，懒洋洋道：“失敬，失敬，你原来是这批黄金的主人？那么你就是李定国将军了？我早就听说，李定国已客死缅甸，想不到他居然还活在人间！”
韩荆满面通红，怒道：“是李定国的，也不是你的，我和李定国同生共死的时候，你这娃娃还在吃奶。怎么样说，我和李定国都沾上一点边，你算老几？”凌未风嘻嘻笑道：“曾和李定国同生共死那更好了，你当然知道他的意思。”韩荆半根短杖向凌未风骤的掷去，疾喝道：“凭你想伸手拦阻，那可不行。”凌未风扬手就是一道乌金光芒，把那根短杖激射得直飞回去，说道：“我就是要拦你！”韩荆慌忙侧身一闪，将短杖接回手中，只见头嵌着五六寸长的一根似箭非箭的东西，又是一惊，心想：这小子居然凭着如此细小的暗器，就能将我的半截龙头拐杖反撞回来，这功力
