Chapter 47 Chapter 47: The Shadow of the Sword and the Light of the Sword Surprise the Forbidden Garden
Zhu Diluo laughed and said: "I just searched the deep palace and found nowhere to find it, but I didn't know that it didn't take any effort!" Only then did the Penglai witch know that Zhu Diluo had come to steal Geng Zhong's suicide note .This posthumous note was helpful to the state of song in fighting the gold, and it had a lot to do with it. No wonder in the eyes of the gold master, it was more important than the head of the emperor of the song dynasty.
Zhu Diluo stepped forward and was about to pick up the suicide note. The Penglai Witch shook the dust with her flying whisk, and a few tails of dust shot through the window.The guards of the Cuihan Hall were all fainted by the mist, Zhu Diluo thought that there was nothing wrong with it, so he broke into the room without going to the room to inspect, but he was completely secretive and was attacked suddenly.
Before Zhu Diluo's fingers touched the booklet, he suddenly felt the breeze, and his wrist was pressed against the chi pulse, and he was stabbed by the dust tail. There was a sudden pain in Di Luo's tiger's mouth. Although he was not injured, he couldn't help being startled, and quickly withdrew his hands. It was too late to say that, and soon, the Penglai Witch jumped in from the window.
Seeing that it was the Penglai Witch, Zhu Diluo was startled and angry, roared, and rushed towards Zhao Gou, intending to take the Emperor of Song as a hostage.The Penglai Witch's body skills were faster than him, how could he allow him to succeed, she had already stopped in front of Zhao Gou, and stabbed out quickly with a swipe of her sword.
Although the Imperial Study Room is much wider than a room in an ordinary house, it is still just a room after all, surrounded by bookshelves and sundries, the remaining space is limited.Zhu Diluo's ability is similar to that of the Penglai Witch, but in a room that is not very spacious, he will suffer a little loss when dealing with the Penglai Witch's long sword with his bare hands.The Penglai Witch wielded her sword like the wind, forcing him to retreat step by step.
Zhu Diluo had no way to retreat, and his vest pressed against the wall, only to hear a "boom", the wall split, according to his figure, the ax chisel was not so neat, Zhu Diluo was already outside the study.
The Penglai witch put Xin Qiji's memorial on the desk, chased it out through the gap, and shouted: "There are assassins, there are assassins!"
Zhu Diluo's lightness skill was not as good as Penglai witch, and she caught up with her in a blink of an eye. Zhu Diluo said angrily: "Why are you always against me?" Penglai witch sneered: "Aren't you going to capture me alive? But I'm going to capture you alive!"
Zhu Diluo shook his cassock, like a red cloud, and put it under the hood of the Penglai Witch. The Penglai Witch performed the Tiangangchen pose, swung away his hood, moved the sword like the wind, and the sword light blazed, and rolled straight towards him.Zhu Diluo danced her cassock, unleashed her sword posture by using her internal strength, and fought several moves, neither of which won or lost.Zhu Diluo had no intention of fighting, so he untied the sword move of Penglai Witch, turned around and fled again.
The Penglai Witch shouted: "Do you still want to escape?" With her figure together, she flew past Zhu Diluo like a falcon piercing through the forest, blocking his way.Although their skills are equal, the Penglai Witch is superior in lightness. No matter where Zhu Diluo flees, she always takes a quick step and stops him.
Zhu Diluo couldn't escape, and said angrily: "Okay, I'll fight with you stinky girl!" He turned around and pounced.The two have their own strengths. In terms of skill, Zhu Diluo is a little better, but in terms of tricks and lightness skills, Penglai Witch is much more subtle. While Dilo was rushing desperately, the Penglai Witch was forced to switch from offense to defense.
After a while, only the sound of people's footsteps was heard, and the guards came running from all directions, shouting one after another: "Come and get the assassin!" "The assassin is here!" Shangguan Fuwei, the commander of the Suwei army who slapped the tree to search for people.The Penglai Witch secretly rejoiced, "This man's skill is not weak, but this monk is hard to fly!"
Seeing that it was two strangers fighting fiercely in the garden, Shangguan Fuwei was stunned for a moment.In a blink of an eye, the guards gathered and asked in a hurry: "Which one is the assassin?" They are all assassins?" Shangguan Fuwei suddenly shouted: "Take these two people down!" You must know that he is the commander of the old guard army who is responsible for defending the emperor. People, assassins or not, are always guilty of serious crimes.To be sure, Shangguan Fuwei simply ordered the guards to treat both sides equally and take down both fighters.It's his duty at stake, that's all.
The guards shouted and rushed forward, either attacking Zhu Diluo, or attacking the Penglai Witch.The Penglai Witch cursed angrily: "You are so confused, this monk is the assassin, and I am the one who catches the assassin!" I'll let you go after I understand!" The Penglai Witch said angrily, "Tell me to put down my weapon? That means you want to let this assassin run away! If I don't do anything, you can take this assassin?"
Shangguan Fuwei thought highly of himself, he hummed, and said angrily, "What an arrogant boy, how dare you underestimate the big inner guard. I want to see how capable you are, but I want to take you down first. Look at the palm of your hand." !" The Penglai Witch stepped aside and said: "I should have taught you a lesson, but I was afraid of hurting you but I was not paying for this monk." Shangguan Fuwei was furious, and he slapped again.The Witch of Penglai wiped away his palm strength, passed between the two guards, and was about to attack Zhu Diluo, but was stopped by several imperial guards.
Suddenly, two consecutive "click, click" sounds were heard. It turned out that the neck bones of the two guards were forcibly broken by Zhu Diluo's heavy hand!Immediately afterwards, there were two more "plop, plop", and Zhu Diluo rolled up two officers of the Royal Forest Army in his cassock, fell half dead, opened the gap, and fled immediately.
The Penglai Witch was very anxious and didn't care about it anymore, so she waved her whisk and brushed the dizzy points of the guards, and broke out.I saw Shangguan Fuwei fighting against Zhu Diluo in front, it turned out that Shangguan Fuwei was not weak, when he saw Zhu Diluo killing someone, he rushed to intercept him, but the guards behind him couldn't keep up with him.
Although Shangguan Fuwei is big and not weak, he is not as good as Zhu Diluo. The two of them "puff, puff, puff!" I took a few steps back and nearly fell.Zhu Diluo didn't care about hurting him, and ran away again.
Fortunately, the Penglai Witch was excellent at lightness and caught up in time, stabbing him in the back with her sword. Zhu Diluo knew he couldn't run away from her, so he had to turn around and fight.
Shangguan Fuwei then ran over, and the Penglai witch sneered, "You believe my words, don't you?" Although Shangguan Fuwei was very unhappy, he had suffered from Zhu Diluo, but he also knew what the Penglai witch said It's true, if it wasn't for the help of the Penglai Witch, it really wouldn't be possible to capture this monk.I had no choice but to say in a low voice: "I misunderstood for a while, thank you for your help. I will report the assassin to the emperor and reward you for my merits." But I said in my heart: "I have to ask you a private question if the assassin is captured later. The crime of entering the Forbidden Garden." The Penglai Witch was dressed as a man, so Shangguan Fuwei kept calling her a "strong man".It was also because he misunderstood that the Penglai Witch was a man, and he couldn't help feeling jealous, fearing that the Penglai Witch would chase after the assassin in order to rob him of his position.
The Penglai Witch said: "Who cares about your emperor's old man's reward, stop talking nonsense, and do it quickly!" Shangguan Fuwei was quite puzzled when he heard that her tone was disrespectful to the emperor, and thought: "I don't know who this kid is. , I don’t care about rewards, but I’m willing to do my best for the emperor.” But in this way, he let go of his worries, and immediately waved his palm to assist.
Zhu Diluo was surrounded and fought desperately.The Penglai Witch was also in high spirits to deal with him.Zhu Diluo danced wildly in his cassock, like a red cloud covering the top;These three masters fought with all their strength, within a few feet away sand flew away, leaves shook and resident birds flew away.The guards had never seen such a battle before, nine out of ten they knew they couldn't get in, so they had to surround them from a distance and shout to cheer.The only ones who stepped forward to help Shangguan Fuwei besiege Zhu Diluo were the four most capable captains of the guards and officers of the Imperial Forest Army.
But in this way, it is better than useless guards crowding each other. When Zhu Diluo dealt with Penglai Witch and Shangguan Fuwei, he was already in danger. Now that he has added four strong opponents, he is even more overwhelmed and overwhelmed.
With a sound of "shua", the sword light passed by, Zhu Diluo's cassock was pierced by the Penglai Witch, and its power was greatly reduced.Shangguan Fuwei hit him on the shoulder with a palm following "bang", Shangguan Fuwei wanted Xue to be humiliated just now, this palm was really heavy, although his palm was swollen red and swollen by Zhu Diluo's body protection magic When he got up, one of Zhu Diluo's shoulder blades was also broken by him, and the pain was even worse.The Penglai Witch hastened to make up another sword, and this sword cut a wound more than five inches long on his arm.
Zhu Diluo took a deep breath and said to himself, "I never thought I would die here." Just as he was about to cut off his meridians and die, so as not to be captured and humiliated, he suddenly heard a long howl, which came from afar.
The whistling sound made everyone's ears buzzing, and the Penglai witch was taken aback, "Who has this skill, could it be the one who secretly helped me when I first entered the imperial garden?" Zhu Diluo was overjoyed, and let out a long whistle, and the Penglai Witch shouted: "No, a strong enemy is coming! Kill this monk first, there is no need to capture him alive!"
Zhu Diluo laughed and said: "You still want to kill me at this time? You are already dying!" Before he finished speaking, he saw a black shadow rushing out of the nearby pine forest, with the whistling wind , before the person arrives, the hidden weapon comes first!
The Penglai Witch raised her sword and cut it, only to feel that it was something soft but hard. The Penglai Witch thought: "What kind of hidden weapon is this?" She cut it into two halves, but it turned out to be a rose the size of a teacup flower.
Shangguan Fuwei knocked down another rose that was attacking him with his palm, and the petals were still intact when the flower fell to the ground.At the same time, only two screams were heard, and the other two guards besieging Zhu Diluo had fallen to the ground.An officer of the imperial forest army and a school lieutenant also uttered "ouch" and "ouch" in pain!
Even if Penglai Witch is skilled and bold, she can't help but feel a chill in her heart, knowing that the skill of the comer is better than her.It turned out that this person used the superior internal strength of "flying flowers and picking leaves, hurting people and killing them", and picked six roses as hidden weapons.However, although it is said to "injure someone and immediately die", it also depends on the skill of the opponent, so among the six people who besieged Zhu Diluo, two of the people with the lowest skills fell to the ground and died immediately; the other two were only injured : Shangguan Fuwei can split the palm to knock down the flower, but it can't damage the flower; Penglai Witch can cut it in half with a single sword.The reason why she felt soft and hard was because of the real power of that person attached to the flower.
It was too late to say, but soon, the black shadow rushed towards him like a whirlwind.The man covered his face with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of shining eyes.The Imperial Forest Army officer and the Suwei school lieutenant stepped forward to meet the enemy, the man sneered and said, "Are you worthy of fighting with me too?" The two of them didn't even hum, and immediately fell to the ground!
The Penglai Witch's heart was shocked, and she shouted: "You are the one who pretended to be the arrogant of the martial arts last night!" It turned out that the skill he used to kill the enemy with a flick of a finger was exactly the skill of the hand that assassinated Gu Yue's Zen Master to close the acupoint and cut off the pulse.Judging by his skill, he is really not under the martial arts arrogance!The man said coldly: "Girl, you have good eyesight!" He pointed at the Penglai Witch.The Penglai Witch raised the dust, and a strong wind blew off the man's finger force. Even though it disappeared, the cold wind blew across the face of the Penglai Witch, as if the face was blown by a frosty wind in a severe cold day, and it was slightly numb. .The Penglai Witch was furious, she slashed away with her sword, the masked man retracted his fingers, turned around, and stabbed at Shangguan Fuwei.Shangguan Fu Wei gathered his palm and slapped it out, only to hear a sound of "Bu", the palm was dripping with blood.He used iron palm kung fu to forcefully receive the opponent's finger force enough to close the acupoints and break the pulse, but he was only injured, which is already very good.The Penglai Witch flickered, and hurriedly stood between him and Shangguan Fuwei to prevent him from doing more evil.
The masked man waved his sleeves, and the Penglai witch held a sword flower, and made a move of "Xuanniao slashing sand", cutting it out obliquely. The sword was soft but strong, and within one move, it attacked three vital points of the opponent. The masked man didn't dodge, praised the word "good", and still waved his sleeves, only heard a clanging sound, the Penglai Witch cut his sleeve, as if touching another sword, although the Penglai Witch was not timid I mean, it's also very shocking.Not daring to be negligent, he hurriedly used the whisk to cooperate with the sword move, and used the exquisite killer in the Tiangangchen style, the tails of the dust were gathered into a bunch, and used as a judge's pen to attack his two flank acupoints.The man waved his sleeves, and the strong wind blew away the Penglai Witch's dust whisk. The Penglai Witch's dust sword was combined, and in an instant, he made six or thirty-six moves. Sleeves or palms, in an instant, thirty-six moves in a row, breaking the moves of the Penglai Witch one by one.The masked man praised: "The girl is really extraordinary, no wonder the madman Tianjiao will fall for you!" The Penglai witch was originally a woman disguised as a man, but he saw through her hiding place, that's all, that man actually knew her Knowing the origin of Xiaoao Qiankun, Wulin Tianjiao and her disputes, Penglai Witch was even more surprised.But at this time, she also knew who this masked man was. This man was the murderer of Zen Master Gu Yue, who used conspiracy to provoke Xiaoao Qiankun and Wulin Tianjiao to desperately.The Penglai witch was full of anger, knowing that she was invincible, she bravely attacked.The masked man pointed his finger out of his sleeve, and with a sound of "clank", he flicked away the Penglai Witch's long sword, slashed his palm and poked his finger, extremely fierce, the Penglai Witch failed to attack by force, and was forced by his offensive, and had to retreat again and again.
Zhu Diluo shouted: "Don't hurt this woman's life, it's best to capture her." The masked man laughed and said: "King Ri, you are a monk, but you are also fascinated by this girl?" The Penglai Witch was furious, she turned around and slid forward, and with a flying whisk, dozens of dust tails were sent towards Zhu Diluo.At this time, Zhu Diluo was fighting with Shangguan Fuwei. After he was injured, he could only gain the upper hand. The Penglai Witch used the dust tail as a hidden weapon in a very ingenious way. She was standing on the oblique side of the masked man. , the masked man waved his sleeves like a wind, even though seven or eight out of ten of her shaggy tails were knocked off, there were still more than a dozen of them shot at Zhu Diluo.Zhu Diluo has the magic power of protecting the body. After being injured, his power is greatly reduced. The dust tails on his chest and abdomen are still unable to hurt him, but there are three dust tails that hit the back of the head. This is the magic power of body protection. When he arrived, he was stabbed by the dust tail and the Buyali needle, Zhu Diluo howled in pain, Shangguan Fuwei slashed out with his palm, and with a "bang", he was hit on all fours.
However, when the Penglai Witch attacked Zhu Diluo, she neglected to protect Shangguan Fuwei. Suddenly, he felt his chest was stabbed by a sharp sword, and the pain pierced his heart and lungs. He couldn't help howling sharply, and fell on his back.The guards rushed over to rescue him, and the Penglai Witch flickered, preventing the masked man from confronting him again.Although Shangguan Fuwei is not as good as Penglai Witch and others, his internal energy is also quite profound, and although he was seriously injured, he did not die.
Shangguan Fuwei was seriously injured, but he still did not forget his duty, shouting loudly: "Take down the assassin, take down the assassin!" Zhu Diluo jumped up and shouted: "Who dares to take me?" The two guards close by fell a foot away.One of the guards jumped out and shouted angrily: "Fangou dares to speak big words, I'll get you!" This person was the one she saw with Shangguan Fuwei when the Penglai Witch first entered the imperial garden. His imperial guard, named Han Chongshan, is second only to Shangguan Fuwei in martial arts.Far above other guards.
Han Chongshan shook out a long whip measuring one foot and two feet, whirring and rolling up a mass of whip shadows, and swept towards Zhu Diluo. Zhu Diluo was seriously injured and couldn't jump properly. "To grab Han Chongshan's long whip, "Dragon Capture Hand" is a first-class martial art, but unfortunately after being injured, his skill has been greatly reduced, and he can no longer use it freely, but Han Chongshan's long whip is as good as a dragon. Shua Shua Shua several whips, Zhu Diluo's body was immediately covered with bloodstains.
The masked man said: "Dharma King Jieri, you go back first. I will send the chasers for you!" One palm to deal with the Penglai witch, and the other hand to strike with a backhand. On Han Zhongshan's body, Han Zhongshan vomited blood, and his body suddenly became half shorter. It turned out that his ribs were broken by the palm force.Han Zhongshan was injured, and although there were many other guards, no one could stop Zhu Diluo.In a blink of an eye, Zhu Diluo broke through the siege and escaped.The masked man laughed loudly and said: "In my eyes, a deep palace and a forbidden garden are nothing more than strolling in a courtyard. Even if you have thousands of troops, what can you do to me?" Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, send out four palms in succession to the southeast, northwest, the power of the palms is like overwhelming mountains and seas, how can the guards around them bear it?Those with weak abilities were knocked down and rolled on the ground, and those with high abilities were also unable to stand firmly, so they panicked and dodged far away. Except for the Penglai Witch, within a radius of six or seven feet around the masked man, no one could stand. !
The Penglai witch was furious, risked her life, and attacked wildly with her sword.The masked man sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity! You are a young and beautiful girl. It is really rare that you have successfully practiced this skill. I didn't want to hurt you, but it is not easy to capture you. Keeping you is always a disaster. There is nothing I can do." I have no choice but to kill you!" The palm force is tightened, every move is a killer!The Penglai Witch was oppressed by the heavy palm, her chest felt tight, her breathing was difficult, her moves were gradually unable to be used, and she felt that her strength was not what she wanted.
The Penglai Witch gritted her silver teeth, and was about to unleash a killer that would hurt both sides, when suddenly she heard the sound of ding ding, coming like a storm, the masked man seemed to be taken aback, and quickly turned back his palms to defend himself, not daring to attack the Penglai Witch again.It was too late, and then soon, I saw another masked man coming out of the forest, this man was holding an iron staff, his right foot seemed to be unable to walk, only his left foot was on the ground, and his right hand was holding the iron staff For walking, if the iron stick is touched on the ground, the person will jump about Zhang Xu, which is much faster than a martial arts master with healthy feet and excellent lightness kung fu.As soon as the figure appeared, he arrived in the blink of an eye, the iron staff was still on the ground, his body was slightly bent, and he had already slapped the enemy with his palms. Come on, the sound is like thunder!
"Peng, Peng, Peng" after three thunderous applause, the masked man who came first swayed, kicked, kicked, stepped back three steps, and suddenly shouted: "You, you, is it you? You Born again?" His voice was trembling, as if he was terrified, and the masked man said coldly, "Have you guessed who I am? Do you want to do it again?" As soon as this man spoke, the Penglai Witch immediately recognized him. The stranger who secretly pointed her way couldn't help being surprised and delighted.
The masked man who came first sighed, and said, "It really is you, there is no place for me in the south of the Yangtze River!" He turned and ran into the forest.At this moment, the Penglai Witch had adjusted her breath and was about to chase after her, when she suddenly heard a "ding" and her leg limped slightly. The masked man holding an iron staff stopped in front of her, with a pair of shining eyes moving up and down. looked at her.
The Penglai Witch thought that this crippled masked man must be chasing that masked man, but unexpectedly he blocked her way suddenly, and was startled, before she could speak, the masked man asked her first: " Are you male or female?"
The question came so abruptly that Penglai Witch didn't know what to answer in a hurry.One must know that she disguised herself as a man, and in front of so many outsiders, she was really embarrassed to admit it openly.Besides, at this tense moment, the masked man didn't go after the thief, but came to ask her such a question, which was really beyond her expectation and made her baffled.
The Penglai Witch just hesitated, not knowing how to answer, the masked man didn't wait for her to answer, turned around quickly, tapped the iron stick twice, and made two "ding ding" sounds. He had reached the edge of the forest, and suddenly turned his head again, looking at the Penglai Witch. , sighed and said: "Bodhi is not a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand. But if you get rid of the world, there should be no obstacles." These four sentences seemed to be the words of the Buddha's gatha. When they read from the masked mouth, the Penglai witch couldn't help being shocked and lost her voice. cried: "Who are you?"
But when he heard the iron crutches "ding-ding" to the ground, the masked man had disappeared into the forest.The Penglai witch hurriedly chased after her.Shangguan Fuwei was seriously injured, struggling and shouting: "Zhuang, strong man, please stay here, I will reward you for your merits!" It turned out that Shangguan Fuwei heard two masked men say she was a woman one after another, and he also See something is wrong.At first, he was afraid that the Penglai Witch would rob him of his position, but if the Penglai Witch was a woman, it would be completely different.Shangguan Fuwei is over 30 years old and hasn't married yet. When he meets such a strange woman in martial arts, even if he doesn't dare to think about it, he still hopes to get acquainted with her and get a chance to get close.Therefore, using the words "asking for merit and awarding a reward", he repeatedly asked her to stay.
The Penglai Witch didn't listen to Shangguan Fuwei's words at all. At this moment, all she was thinking about was: "Who is this masked man?" It's a pity that although her lightness kung fu is excellent, it can be said that the world today can't match her. There are very few of them, but this masked man walks with a stick, and the iron stick is swept away for several feet. The Penglai Witch uses all her skills, but it is still far behind. In a blink of an eye, this masked man has disappeared into the depths of the forest. , I can't even see my back!
The Penglai Witch was at a loss, and she just thought in her heart: "Who is he? Who is he? Why does he have hair on his head?" It turned out that after listening to the four Buddhist verses, she had faint doubts in her heart.
The Penglai witch suspected something. It turned out that she remembered the story of the old monk that Helian Qingxia had told her before.She suspected that the masked man was the old monk.
That old monk, according to Helian Qingxia, escaped to the Buddhist monastery because he was escaping from the Jin captives.When Helian Qingxia was very young, the old monk was already on the mountain where she lived in seclusion.That is to say, he has lived in Buddhism for at least ten or twenty years.This old monk has been suffering from hemiplegia. Wulin Tianjiao and Xiaoao Qiankun have visited him on the mountain. It was not until the year before he left the mountain that his hemiplegia improved. He could walk, but he was still unable to walk.
Now this masked man also has a bad foot, and uses an iron rod instead of walking.The style of this iron staff also resembles the Zen staff used by monks.Another point is that the masked man who came first said that he was "born again". After becoming a human being, he was born again.All of these are in line with the situation of the old monk. The only thing that does not fit is that the masked man has hair, but the hair can grow. How do you know that he is not a monk?
The Penglai Witch has long suspected that the old monk Helian Qingxia mentioned is her father.Later, after it was confirmed that Liu Yuanjia was a liar, pretending to be her father, she was even more sure that unless her father was not alive, it must be the old monk.In other words, if the masked man and the old monk were the same person, then they would be her father.It's a pity that I couldn't catch up and missed it in person.
The Penglai Witch felt melancholy, felt sad for a while, and thought to herself: "Although I missed it face to face, it is better than no trace. My father has already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and his martial arts skills are world-class. If he knows that I am his daughter, he will let me go." It's easy to find me. He asked me if I was a man or a woman just now. I think he already suspected that I was his daughter. It's a pity that I didn't answer him at that time. However, even if he didn't come to me, he has already come to Jiangnan , and there is always a chance to meet. Since it is too late to catch up, then we have to go back first, Xin Qiji and Geng Zhao are also anxiously waiting." The Penglai witch jumped over the wall, and the guards guarding the imperial garden knew that the assassin was coming to the palace. Spotting the shadow of the Penglai Witch, they shot her with arrows.The Penglai Witch didn't care about the cold arrows of these guards. She performed excellent lightness kungfu and crossed the wall, but none of the arrows hit her.In less than an hour, he returned to Xin's house.It was almost five o'clock at this time, and the lights in Xin Qiji's study were brightly lit. It turned out that he and Geng Zhao hadn't slept all night and were still waiting for news.The Penglai Witch jumped down from the roof silently, only to hear Xin Qiji chanting: "Crossing the Tianma to the south, how many of them are really economical?" Seeing Yu Yunwen and you are really economical hands!" Penglai Witch then said: "Yes, the situation has changed a lot now, you and General Yu can display your ambitions and show your talents!" Xin and Geng said happily: "Liu Hero , you're back? Hey, you, you, what's the matter?" It turned out that the Penglai Witch was covered in blood, and they couldn't help being surprised when they saw it.The Penglai Witch smiled and said, "I'm not injured, but I'm back with good news for you!"
Geng Zhao said: "What good news?" The Penglai witch said: "Your father's suicide note, the emperor has already read it. General Xin's memorial, I put it on his desk, I must have read it by now." He told what he saw and heard in the palace that night, which made Xin and Geng both surprised and delighted.The Penglai Witch said: "It seems that although this old emperor wants to live in peace, he is forced by the situation, and the fate of his father and brother is also a lesson for the past. He still has to stand up and defend against the enemy. Your father's suicide note and General Xin's memorial, even if you can't get rid of Wei Liangchen and the traitors immediately, you should alienate them." Xin Qiji said: "I hope so." At this point, the sky is clear, Penglai Witch She was about to go to Donghai Dragon to make an appointment with the leader of the Beggar Clan, so it was too late to elaborate on what happened to her in the second half of last night.Immediately bid farewell to Xin Qiji, and went to the Six Harmonies Pagoda with Geng Zhao.
The Six Harmonies Pagoda stands on the Yuelun Mountain beside the Qiantang River. In the early morning, there are few pedestrians. The two performed light kung fu, and within an hour, they arrived at the foot of the Six Harmony Pagoda. There was no one there.
The Penglai Witch asked in amazement: "It's already high in the sun, why haven't they come yet?" Suddenly a man walked out of the tower, about thirty years old, wearing clean clothes with many patches, As soon as he came out, he asked: "Which one is Mr. Geng?" Geng Zhao said: "Don't dare, the younger brother is Geng Zhao." Seeing his attire like this, and asking questions like this, Geng Zhao thought he was a member of the Beggar Gang, most likely he was from the Beggar Gang He was sent by the leader, so he did not hide his identity.
The man said: "Then this must be Miss Liu?" The Penglai witch only felt that she had seen this person before, but she couldn't remember where and when she saw her.Xin said: "Brother Zhao is too careless, but with me here, I am not afraid that he is a bad person." Geng Zhao has already admitted his identity, Penglai Witch didn't hide it, and asked directly: "Are you Who, how did they know about us?"
The man said: "I am a disciple of the beggar gang, and I am here to meet you at the order of the gang leader." The Penglai witch said: "Where is your gang leader and senior Dongyuan?" The man said: "They have something to do, I'm afraid it will take a while Only then can we come. You two, please come with me to the highest floor of the Pagoda of Six Harmonies, on the one hand, it will be easier to see, and on the other hand, it will save you from attracting attention from the outside."
Hearing what he said was reasonable, Geng Zhao said with a smile: "You are very considerate." Just as he was about to take a step, the Penglai Witch stopped in front of him and asked the man, "What is the reason that your leader can't meet the schedule?" Going to the appointment?"
The man said: "Miss Liu is daring to be suspicious? It's no wonder Miss Liu, I'm a stranger, and she should ask clearly. Fortunately, there is a token here." He took out a The golden circle, the Penglai witch said: "Isn't this the golden steel ring used by the three heroes of the Sa family? How did it get into your hands? How can you say it is a token?" The man said: "The three heroes of the Sa family came to our house late last night. The gang leader is seriously injured, and the gang leader and senior Dongyuan are treating them, so they can't come in time."
Geng Zhao cried out: "Oh, why are the three brothers injured?" The man said: "Yesterday they made a big disturbance in Wei Liangchen's grand master's mansion. They were outnumbered. It is a blessing among misfortunes to break out of the siege." Zhao sighed and said: "The Sa brothers are straightforward and good guys, but unfortunately they are too reckless. Daxia Wen has persuaded them, but they still can't hold back their anger." That day, the third brother Sa found out that he was being used by Wei Liangchen. He once kept saying that he would go back to Wei Liangchen to settle accounts with the two older brothers, but now the man said that they were injured in the Grand Master's Mansion, the two coincided, and Geng Zhao was convinced of it.
The man said: "Sa Laosan has told the story of how he and Miss Liu turned enemies into friends. The leader wants to heal their wounds, so there must be some delay. I'm afraid Miss Liu will wait for a long time. Therefore, I asked my disciples to come forward to report. But the leader of our gang was also afraid that the two of you would be suspicious, so he borrowed a gold steel ring from Sa Laosan as a token." The leader Li of the Beggar Gang and the Penglai Witch never knew each other. They fought against the Penglai Witch, and their golden steel hoop was a unique weapon. The leader of the beggar gang borrowed it as a token, which was very reasonable, and even the Penglai Witch believed it a little bit.
The man said: "Beside the Qiantang River, there are people coming and going. It is really inconvenient for us to wait under the tower. Come in with me, both of you."
The Penglai Witch was about to take a step, when she glanced, she suddenly saw a figure on the sixth floor of the tower flashing through the window and then disappeared. The Penglai Witch was so clever, she stopped in front of Geng Zhao with a flash of her figure, and said, "Wait a minute." The man said: "Let's talk inside if Miss Liu has anything to say." The Penglai Witch said: "How many of you are here?" Look at the top of the tower." The Penglai witch said: "Is there only one person?" The man said: "Oh, there is also an incense monk who is in charge of cleaning. This person has already received my reward, so it's okay. I originally Tell him to cook tea for us on the bottom floor, presumably he has finished his work and is bored, so he ran to the top floor to see the river view. We can send him away later." The Penglai Witch said: "It seems a bit uncomfortable That's right, I saw two figures on the tower on the sixth floor, both of whom have hair." In fact, the Penglai Witch saw only one figure, and she purposely said it was two people to test the man's truth.The man frowned slightly, laughed, and said, "Maybe it's Miss Liu who is dazzled?" So he had the courage to refute the Penglai Witch.
He also refuted with very good reasons, but he didn't know that the Penglai Witch was tempting him out of nothing, and she had already seen the flaw from his expression and tone.The Penglai witch suddenly asked again coldly: "Who are you?"
The man was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Xia Liu is too suspicious. If I am not a disciple of the Beggar Sect, how would I know that you are here today to meet with our Sect Leader?" The Penglai Witch sneered, "I'm afraid not." ?” It turned out that at this time she had already remembered where she had seen this man.
In the early morning of yesterday, when she came out of the Guyue Nunnery and passed the Baidi, there were already tourists on the lake, and there was a painted boat coming from the center of the lake, and there were three people who looked like officials sitting on the bow, one of them was the current one. man.An official in a python robe and jade belt suddenly changed into a beggar's attire with patched clothes on his body, so although the Penglai Witch felt that she had known him before, she couldn't remember it for a long time.But after all, she still saw it through.
The Penglai Witch sneered and said: "Your Excellency is an official, pretending to be a beggar, is it related to your identity? Duh, why are you doing this, tell me quickly!" The man saw through her and immediately preempted the strike. The golden steel ring in his hand flew out.
The Penglai Witch is so nimble, how could he hit him, only heard the sound of "Dang", the Penglai Witch had already drawn her sword out of its sheath, and pushed the gold steel ring away, she stepped back, dodged, drew her sword, and even knocked down the opponent and threw it The gold steel ring, four movements, all in one go, as fast as lightning.The man couldn't help being taken aback, he thought to himself: "No wonder my master told me that she can only be outsmarted, not invincible. I need to get six juniors together so that I can use tricks to win her."
The Penglai Witch also shuddered slightly. She opened the golden steel ring with her sword, and the tiger's mouth also felt a little painful.It can be seen that although this person's skill is inferior to hers, it is not too far behind, much stronger than the three heroes of the Sa family.
The Penglai witch didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and took off the whisk with her left hand.Immediately, Dust sword was used at the same time, and he launched an attack on that person.The man had also drawn out a pair of judge pens, and with a wave of the pens, with the faint sound of wind and thunder, he actually broke through the blockade of her whisk. Holes everywhere.The Penglai Witch's Qinggang sword move "Hengyun Duanfeng", blocked his brushes aside, and swept away the dust. The man made an "iron bridge", nailed his feet to the ground, bent his head back, and The pen force Yu Danjian avoided her blow, but a piece of clothes on the chest was swept away by the dust, and it was broken into pieces.
That person was definitely terrified, and Penglai Witch was also quite surprised.The reason why the Penglai Witch was surprised was not because of that person's high ability. Although that person was not mediocre, he was still inferior to her after all, and she had the upper hand in this move; the reason why the Penglai Witch was surprised was because of his magical acupuncture trick ，这一招“泣鬼惊神”正是柳元甲“惊神指法”中的一招，不过柳元甲是以指点穴，这人用的是判官笔罢了。
蓬莱魔女未来得及喝问，塔上已“嗖嗖”地射下了暗箭，蓬莱魔女挥舞拂尘，将暗箭拂得纷纷坠地。耿照也舞剑防身，他用的是宝剑，箭杆一碰上他的宝剑，便截成两段，更是伤不了他。
那人趁着蓬莱魔女要防御暗箭，这才得以侥幸避过蓬莱魔女的杀手，当下长身而起，双笔飞舞，连连进招，与蓬莱魔女周旋。但蓬莱魔女兀是攻多守少。耿照正要上前相助，塔中已冲出了一大群人。
耿照用的是一把宝剑，正要转过剑锋，削断对手的链子，一刀一剑，已从两翼袭来；蓬莱魔女运剑如风，直指那汉子的咽喉，那汉子失了暗箭之助，冲出来的这群人急切间未能赶到，抵敌不住蓬莱魔女迅捷凌厉的剑招，慌忙后退，蓬莱魔女唰的一剑，饶是他闪躲得宜，肩头已给剑尖划破；那人侥幸躲过了利剑穿喉之灾，吓出了一身冷汗，连忙叫道：“布七煞阵！”蓬莱魔女无暇追击，拂尘反手一挥，给耿照解围，从两翼攻来的那一刀一剑，被她拂尘一挥一荡，相互交击，耿照趁着这个空档，早已脱出重围，与蓬莱魔女会合。
蓬莱魔女道：“你跟着我的脚步，舞剑防身，不必攻敌。”从塔中冲出来的共是六人，连同那使判官笔的汉子，瞬息之间，已按着奇门八卦的方位，布成了阵势。七个人各用不同的兵器，刀、枪、鞭、剑、链子锤、判官笔、护手钩，从七个不同的方位，向柳、耿二人展开了暴风骤雨般的攻击！蓬莱魔女心道：“好，你要快攻，我就给你来个以快打快。”拂尘盘旋飞舞，护着全身要害，以闪电般的剑法，便向着面前的一个敌人猛下杀手，意图杀害一人，打开缺口，哪知对方的阵势转动，七个人如同一体，配合得妙到毫巅，蓬莱魔女这一剑刺出，“坎”位“乾”位的一鞭一剑亦已攻来，蓬莱魔女以拂尘招架，剑势略缓，七人中武功最高的那个使判官笔的汉子，已是一招“倒打金钟”，将她凌厉无比的剑招解了。蓬莱魔女使出浑身解数，兀是不能冲出重围。
蓬莱魔女猛地省悟，拂尘一挥，荡开了那人双掌，厉声喝道：“你是柳元甲的大弟子宫昭文么？”原来这“七煞阵”，正是千柳庄的弟子从前曾用过来对付笑傲乾坤华谷涵的那个阵势，痊莱魔女是见过的。这汉子的判官笔点穴手法，蓬莱魔女也看出了是柳元甲的真传。她知道柳元甲最得力的大弟子是宫昭文，柳元甲曾向她推荐，要她请宫昭文去协助玳瑁，代她指挥北五省的绿林好汉的，故此她料想这汉子必是宫昭文无疑。
这汉子果然是宫昭文，他给蓬莱魔女一口道破来历，怔了一怔，随即哈哈笑道：“柳师妹，你好眼力。师父正要找你回去，我是来给你促驾的。”蓬莱魔女气得柳眉倒竖，喝道：“你是来给魏良臣送信的不是？你这贼子，谁是你的师妹？”宫昭文道：“你误会了，这事咱们罢手之后，我可以和你细说，你不认同门，难道你生身之父也不要了么？”
蓬莱魔女怒道：“你们这群无耻的贼子……”气得说不下去，“唰”的一剑，便刺宫昭文肩后的“风府穴”，她拿捏时候，恰到好处，宫昭文刚自她的面前掠过，她的剑尖便指到了他的后肩，若然单打独斗，这一剑非中不可，但七煞阵首尾呼应，攻守有度，配合得天衣无缝，浑如一体，蓬莱魔女这一剑刺出，宫昭文两侧的师弟亦已掩杀过来，一刀一剑加上一对判官笔，三般兵器，三股力量，合而为一，把蓬莱魔女这一招解了。
蓬莱魔女在追击宫昭文，对方也在切断她与耿照之间的联系，蓬莱魔女听得背后金刃劈风之声，连忙转身给耿照解围，只见耿照额上的汗珠似黄豆般大小，一颗颗滴下。蓬莱魔女吃了一惊，心道：“他怎的功力如此不济？前两天东海龙说他身有病征，怕是受了暗伤，当时诊断不出，如今看这迹象，竟似是真的了？”蓬莱魔女暗暗担忧，只好展开拂尘，兼护耿照。
宫昭文冷冷说道：“师妹，你听信奸人挑拨，不认生身之父，不认同门师兄，我也无可如何，只好将你请到师父跟前，让师父和你说了。”蓬莱魔女大怒道：“你们才是奸人！”使开了天罡剑的杀手招数，指东打西，指南打北，锐不可当，宫昭文的几个师弟同声说道：“大师兄，只怕生擒不易！”宫昭文“哼”了一声，道：“那就不必顾忌，尽可把她伤了。师父面前，有我担待。”原来柳元甲冒认蓬莱魔女生身之父的这个秘密，只告诉了大弟子宫昭文一人，其他门人，却都是不知的。柳元甲也曾吩咐过宫昭文，倘若蓬莱魔女已经识破他的骗局，不能再行哄骗的话，那就只管把她杀了。
双方越斗越烈，这“七煞阵”是按着“八卦”的方位布置的，即坎、离、兑、震、巽、乾、坤、艮八门，其中“离”门乃是“生”门，“震”门乃是“死”门，“巽”门乃是“伤门”，宫昭文这方七个人占了七个门户，阵势转动，或空出“死”门，或空出“伤”门，要把柳、耿二人迫进死门或者伤门。蓬莱魔女那晚在千柳庄曾见过笑傲乾坤如何破阵，识得此中奥秘，着着抢攻，力图抢占生门，可惜耿照功力不济，配合不上，好几次都是功败垂成。
蓬莱魔女心中焦虑，想着：“久战下去，只怕照弟难以支持。”正在吃紧，忽听得叮叮之声，远远地有几条人影奔来，蓬莱魔女又惊又喜，“难道是昨晚那蒙面人来了？”心念未已，来人已近了，共是四人，前面的是个老叫化，后面的是东海龙，中间夹着的那两个人则是萨氏三雄中的老大老二。蓬莱魔女稍稍失望，但心知这老叫化必是南丐帮的李帮主，失望之中也是欢喜。东海龙大叫道：“柳女侠，请恕我来迟了！”倏地加快脚步，跑到了最前面来。
东海龙大吼一声，恍如晴天起了个霹雳，浑身排山掌力，便向这七煞阵冲击，宫昭文倒转阵势，要把东海龙也卷入阵中，蓬莱魔女出剑如电，剑剑直指要害，将宫昭文紧紧盯住，教他腾不出手来去应付东海龙。这七煞阵以宫昭文为主体，宫昭文一被盯住，阵势的变化便不能运用自如，只听得“砰砰”两声，宫昭文两侧的师弟已被东海龙的掌力击倒，蓬莱魔女迅速占了“生”门，七煞阵登时瓦解。
蓬莱魔女一招“白虹贯日”，青钢剑当胸刺去，宫昭文还了一招“双龙出海”，双笔抵御单剑，堪堪可以招架。蓬莱魔女喝声：“着！”拂尘一挥，宫昭文分出一支判官笔招架，蓬莱魔女用了个“卸”字诀，拂尘轻轻一带，将他那支判官笔带过一边，力透剑尖，那一招“白虹贯日”劲疾如箭，唰地刺到了宫昭文胸前的“璇玑穴”。这“璇玑穴”乃是人身死穴之一，倘被蓬莱魔女的剑尖戳上，宫昭文内功再好，也要命丧当场。
这刹那间，蓬莱魔女忽地心念一转，想道：“那封信我还有许多不明白之处，须得留下这个活口，盘问口供。”蓬莱魔女想到的那封信，即是魏良臣托萨氏三雄送给柳元甲的那一封，其中若干地方，如魏良臣预祝柳元甲“建业江左”这些字句，蓬莱魔女猜想到其中定有重大阴谋，但他们的具体安排，外人却是难以知道。宫昭文是柳元甲的心腹弟子，故此蓬莱魔女才临时变计，想留下活口，迫他供出奸谋。
但蓬莱魔女这一着却是错了，要知宫昭文的武功虽不如她，但也差不太远，蓬莱魔女正要改刺他的麻穴，剑势稍缓，宫昭文霍的一个“凤点头”，双笔奋力一挡，身形已是倒纵出数丈开外。七煞阵虽然瓦解，但他还有四个师弟在场，未曾受伤，这四个人合力将蓬莱魔女挡住。
丐帮帮主李元冲喝道：“你这厮胆敢冒充我帮中弟子，吃我一拐！”宫昭文双笔交叉刺出，只听得嗤嗤两声，火花飞溅，宫昭文虎口酸麻，一支判官笔脱手飞出。虽是脱手飞出，势道仍是十分凌厉，原来这是他败中求胜的一招绝招，名为“飞管惊神”，中者立死，李元冲识得厉害，只好横拐迎击，将它击落。宫昭文不敢恋战，“嗖”地从李元冲身旁掠过。
东海龙加入战团，呼呼数掌，将围攻蓬莱魔女的那四人打退，蓬莱魔女道：“不必伤这四人性命，擒那姓宫的贼子要紧。”眼看就要追上宫昭文了，忽见前面尘头大起，一彪人马已是冲杀到来。萨老大浑身浴血，咬牙切齿地指着一个军官道：“这厮便是奸贼王俊！”正是：
