Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Brotherhood
Huo Xiaoxie heard that Tian Wen and Lin Wan had gone far away, sat down cross-legged, facing the hut in the courtyard, and said in his heart: "Pan Zi, I must break through this lock and tell you personally— —Congratulations on finding your father."
At this time, Huo Xiaoxie didn't blame Duan Wenwen at all, and even admired Duan Wenwen deeply. Everything he did was for the good of Pan Zi, but the means he used were extreme.The more extreme it is, the more it can show Duan Wenwen's love for Pan Zi.Huo Xiaoxie was desperately here, with only one thought in mind, that is, seeing that Pan Zi was safe and sound, then he would be relieved, and even feel sincerely happy for Pan Zi.
But Huo Xiaoxie's heart was sour, and tears welled up in his eyes. He said softly, "Father, mother, are you still alive? My child really wants to know who you are, and I really want to see you. Father... Mother ...I am alone, so miserable..."
Huo Xiaoxie was sad for a moment, pulled himself together, and secretly scolded himself for being too weak, wanting to cry when thinking of his parents.In fact, Huo Xiaoxie's greatest wish is to know who her parents are and to be able to meet them.This wish has never been extinguished or forgotten, and all the efforts Huo Xiaoxie has made can be attributed to this wish.
Huo Xiaoxie even thought that if Tian Wen came to him for help in stealing the Five Elements Sacred King Ding, he might be able to find out the whereabouts of his parents, because he is a person of Xiehuo, so he must be related to his parents.
If Pan Zi was still not seen after three days, Huo Xiaoxie would not force herself to stay here again.From what Duan Wenwen said, he could basically tell that Pan Zi should be alive.What Huo Xiaoxie was worried about was that if Pan Zi saw him and left Duan Wenwen to go to a dangerous place with him, wouldn't it be a crime?Jia, Ding and Yi died for themselves, and this scar has not healed yet, Huo Xiaoxie was really afraid that Pan Zi would do the same.And what if Pan Zi was indeed avoiding him, ashamed to see him?Wouldn't it be annoying to stay here for a long time, deliberately disgusting.
Three days, three days, just three days, everything that should be stopped, I should be a lonely person.
These selfish thoughts dissipated, Huo Xiaoxie's heart was emptied, only the strange formation in front of him - Suolongzhu, even Tian Wen and Lin Wan had to retreat three feet, the anti-theft formation that he thought he could do nothing, he was alone Can people really come up with a way to crack it?
Since the ground was difficult to get through, Huo Xiaoxie thought of many ways to pass through the air in order to reach the hut directly, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong. After sitting like this for more than an hour, he was dizzy thinking about the direction. nothing.
Huo Xiaoxie stood up and walked slowly along the wall in order to find any clues.
The walls are really made of smooth and hard rocks, which are mostly seen in the city walls of strategic locations. The seams are so tightly built that they are three feet thick with no hollows.Such a wall, even when a shell is blown up, can only make a small gap. (The hardness of stone city walls has been recorded in history. Take the modern city of Tengchong in the extreme edge of Yunnan Province as an example. The Chinese expeditionary force counterattacked Tengchong, carried out the scorched earth war of resistance, and bombed all night. Because the city wall was too strong, the American Flying Tigers dropped dozens of tons of bombs , Many bombs were bounced off the city wall, and the city wall could not be blown away for more than ten days. Finally, steel bars had to be welded to the bombs, which barely opened a gap and allowed the expeditionary army to enter the city.)
Huo Xiaoxie walked around a few times, explored almost all the places he could touch and step on, but found nothing.
Huo Xiaoxie wanted to climb up the wall to have a look, but felt that it was meaningless, so she gave up for now.When he was sitting down to rest, he recalled when Tian Wen threw a stone and triggered the Wanlin Knife, and he seemed to have some inspiration again.
Huo Xiaoxie returned to the cave where he came in. The stones here were not much softer than the ground and walls in the courtyard. Huo Xiaoxie didn't take much effort, so he used the hunting knife to goug out a few broken stones.
Huo Xiaoxie took the gravel and followed Tian Wen's example, throwing it out without hesitation. Sure enough, when the stone hit the ground and bounced up again, it caused thousands of scaled knives to shoot out. Seeing the expansion and contraction of the knives, it looked like It was a stone thrown into the lake, which caused layers of ripples, but it was a little more complicated than the ripples, so I couldn't understand it for a while.
Although he couldn't understand the trajectory of the saber formation and the principle of activation, Huo Xiaoxie became interested and began to throw stones into the formation one by one.Every time the saber array was activated, Huo Xiaoxie's eyes widened, and he quickly memorized the movement of the saber array.
Slowly, Huo Xiaoxie began to see a trick. The knife array was triggered by vibration. When one knife rises, it will cause a chain reaction of other knives. machine spring.
If Huo Xiaoxie threw two stones one after the other, given a suitable time gap, he could see that some parts of the knife array did not rise out of the blade, revealing a small piece of ground to stand on.
According to the technique of disturbing tendons and pulses taught by Robotuo, everything has a law of motion, which is called: "When force is released, it must be retracted and released; when the force turns, there must be acupuncture points; disturb the force to distinguish the acupuncture points, and seek the pulse. The root is a mighty force that can be broken with one finger; if several forces come together, there will be internal bundles, mutual interference and pull, resulting in a gap, and those who distinguish the gap can seek peace and life, and then find the source, disturbing the tendons and disordering the veins."
Huo Xiaoxie was deeply impressed by the profoundness of the Fire Stealing Technique, and never knew what it meant, but in the movement of the countless thousands of scale knives made by Suolong, he let himself see Duanyi!Huo Xiaoxie was overjoyed, removed more stones, and threw them at different angles, at different times, and with different strengths. Huo Xiaoxie's hand was stable and accurate, and he could almost point where to hit. The more he hit the end, the more interesting it was , where some stones fell, the blade had just retreated, and it was too late to rise, so in the sea of knives, slowly let yourself see a "doorway".
Huo Xiaoxie was deeply impressed by the profoundness of the Fire Stealing Technique, and never knew what it meant, but in the movement of the countless thousands of scale knives made by Suolong, he let himself see Duanyi!Huo Xiaoxie was overjoyed, removed more stones, and threw them from different angles, at different times, and with different strengths.Huo Xiaoxie's hand is steady and accurate, he can almost point to where to hit, the more he hits to the end, the more interesting he finds, some stones fall, the blade has just receded, and it is too late to rise, so in the sea of knives , Slowly let yourself see a "doorway".
Huo Xiaoxie found the way, overjoyed, she simply took off her clothes, packed a bag of large and small stones, tied it to her chest, and began to try to walk into the formation.
The stones hit repeatedly, the sea of swords rises, and the feet fall forward, and several stones are thrown out, causing the waves of swords to roll.
Huo Xiaoxie is like a petrel walking through raging waves. He is almost submerged in the sea of knives. Countless sharp knives pass close to his body. If there is a slight difference, he will be chopped into pieces.
Every time there is a little gap, he jumps up and dodges every time, stepping on the ground where the blade has just sunk, ding ding ding a few stones, and it can reveal a safe place one step away, jumping with one foot and stepping on it. Steady, the chaotic knives behind you are swishing, and there is even more knife light in front of you. If you are unsteady or lose your center of gravity, a leg will disappear; It is inevitable death.
During the three years in the Jinghuo Valley, Huo Xiaoxie's foundation in Pirates in the first year played a vital role!Jump fast, shoot accurately, see clearly, and stand still; as for where to go and where to hit the stone, it all depends on the almost murderous torture in the next two years.
In Huo Xiaoxie's eyes, the stormy sea of knives always lights up with small dots one by one, marking out a path that can be walked, densely covering all parts of the knives, approaching or retreating, or left or right.
Huo Xiaoxie yelled, and finally jumped out of the sea of knives, and stepped into the gap beside the hut where only one person could stand against the wall.The window of the hut is not far away, and the eaves of the window can be touched by reaching out.
Huo Xiaoxie was not in a hurry, but took a deep breath, letting herself be quiet again, so quiet that she almost didn't feel that she existed.Just like that, Huo Xiaoxie stood motionless against the wall until the sea of swords in front of him was completely still.
Huo Xiaoxie felt his body for a while. After this trip, he was trying to win in a dangerous situation. The clothes on his body were almost incomplete. They were scraped by the Wanlin knife and turned into cloth strips. There were about seven or eight knife wounds all over his body. Fortunately, they were all Skin trauma, only a few traces of blood flowed, and the bleeding has stopped, no serious problem.
Huo Xiaoxie shook his head, and the broken hair fell down one after another. Huo Xiaoxie smiled secretly: "Yes! I must have shaved my head with dysentery! Haha, it's good or bad, so I don't have to shave my head."
Just as Huo Xiaoxie relaxed, thinking about slowly poking towards the window, Duanwen's voice suddenly rose from the room: "Haha, Huo Xiaoxie, congratulations!"
Huo Xiaoxie stood still, not daring to answer.
Duan Wenwen continued to laugh and said: "Huo Xiaoxie, you can use your Huo family's movement skills to pass through the Ten Thousand Scale Sword Formation, you are considered capable. But, what a pity, what a pity! What a pity, what a pity! Haha."
Huo Xiaoxie replied in a muffled voice, "Speak up if you have something to say!"
Duan Wenwen said: "Do you know what Suolongzhu is? Suolongzhu is to let you self-righteous thieves enter the middle, and then lock you in the middle. Tian Wen and Lin Wan have self-knowledge and retreat in time." Huo Xiaoxie, the three of you also know a thing or two, but compared to Tian Wen and Lin Wan, you still have more energy than Tian Wen and lack of strategy. Don’t you think it’s too much? Sea of Swords, even if you break Suolongzhu?"
When Huo Xiaoxie heard this, his whole body turned cold, and now he was facing the situation as if he was firmly locked in the center of the courtyard.Isn't that what Suolongzhu means?If the dragon does not come in, how to lock it?Such a simple truth, I didn't want to break it!
Looking at the sea of knives in front of me again, it slowly recovered from the calm to more weird fluctuations. This time, there is no need for stones to hit, no need for vibrations to start, the sea of knives is completely moving by itself, and the blades with scales are no longer connected as a whole. The movement is divided into groups, leaving a gap as thick as an arm between each knife, swish, swish, swish, swish, like countless kitchen knives cutting vegetables quickly, and there is no place for a half-star to stay.
This is a deadly formation, even if the Immortal Da Luo comes, it is impossible to get out.
The cold sweat on Huo Xiaoxie's forehead rolled down his cheeks, and the only place he can go now is probably the box-like hut behind him.
Duan Wenwen seemed to know that Huo Xiaoxie had nothing to do, so he laughed and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, I give you two choices, first, leave Anhe Town obediently; second, come into the small house, which one do you choose?"
Huo Xiaoxie was silent for a long time, gritted her teeth and said, "Go into the house!"
"Huo Xiaoxie! I'm Pan Zi! You must not enter the house! You should go!" Pan Zi's voice suddenly exploded from the house.
Huo Xiaoxie trembled, and immediately shouted: "Pan Zi, are you in the room?"
Pan Zi shouted: "I don't know where I am either! But I can see you, so go away and don't come looking for me! I beg you, once you enter the house, you will never be able to get out!"
Huo Xiaoxie roared, "Pan Zi, tell me, do you want to stay here?"
Pan Zi's voice paused, and he shouted: "I want to stay here! Stop talking, Huo Xiaoxie, go away! You can't survive where you are now! You will soon..." Speaking of this, Pan Zi's voice It stopped abruptly, and was replaced by the sound of electric current.
Huo Xiaoxie shouted: "Pan Zi!"
Duan Wenwen's voice sounded again: "Huo Xiaoxie, it's not easy for you to cross the sea of swords in a clever way. I appreciate you very much, so it's not worth it for you to die in Suolongzhu. Let's go! You have already Hearing what Pan Zi said, he stayed here voluntarily, don't worry."
Huo Xiaoxie didn't know whether to cry or laugh, two lines of tears gushed out of her eyes and flowed happily down her cheeks.
Huo Xiaoxie said, "Pan Zi! Take care, I'm leaving."
"Okay! Huo Xiaoxie, this is your wise decision. The Wanlin knife has stopped, you can go." Duan Wenwen's voice came.
Shua, Shua, Shua, Shua, the sea of knives before Huo Xiaoxie's eyes retracted one by one to the ground. After a moment of buzzing, everything returned to tranquility.
Huo Xiaoxie stepped on the ground covered with sharp knives, the violent sea of knives just now seemed to be dead, and there was no reaction at all.
Huo Xiaoxie walked back step by step, and came to the entrance of the ground. Unable to restrain herself, Huo Xiaoxie turned around and bowed deeply to the small room in the center of the courtyard, saying: "There will be a period later."
Huo Xiaoxie took two steps back and was about to leave here when Duan Wenwen's voice sounded again: "Huo Xiaoxie, let me give you a word, you should keep it in mind—a man can achieve great things only when he is able to bend and stretch. This is even more true for Pirates!"
Huo Xiaoxie didn't turn his head back, he was familiar with the phrase "a man can bend and stretch", but hearing it from an article at this moment made him feel a little bit different.
Walking through the long corridor, out of the huge iron gate, and onto the ground, Huo Xiaoxie walked silently to the outside of Duan Ye's mansion, and then took a few deep breaths. Everything that happened in this compound was like a field dream.
Someone came quickly, stopped beside Huo Xiaoxie, and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, take this clothes and change into it. If you walk outside with cloth strips all over your body, it will cause unnecessary trouble. trouble."
Huo Xiaoxie turned his head and saw that it was Captain Liu.
Huo Xiaoxie was not polite, took the set of clothes from Captain Liu, and said, "Thank you!"
Captain Liu smiled and said, "There will be a period later! Huo Xiaoxie!"
Huo Xiaoxie said loudly: "There will be a time later!" As he said, Huo Xiaoxie strode quickly, and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Captain Liu took out his sunglasses from his windbreaker pocket and put them on, crossed his hands in his trouser belt, looked at the direction where Huo Xiaoxie was going, and whispered to himself, "Huo Xiaoxie, you won."
Huo Xiaoxie ran wildly, leaving the Duan family compound far behind.Pan Zi had been with him for several years, and once they were separated, and they couldn't even see each other for the last time, Huo Xiaoxie felt uncomfortable, and only wanted to leave this sad place quickly.
Huo Xiaoxie hurried back to where Tian Wen, Lin Wan, Qiao Da, Qiao Er, and Hei Feng were. Tian Wen and the others had already found him back, and they all stood up to greet him.Qiao Da, Qiao Er, and Heifeng all caught up, surrounded Huo Xiaoxie, and asked for warmth.
After Huo Xiaoxie sat down, he slowly told what happened after Tian Wen left.Qiao Da and Qiao Er were dumbfounded and amazed.Although Tian Wen showed admiration for Huo Xiaoxie, he frowned most of the time, deeply feeling that the Duan family's mechanism was domineering.Lin Wan seemed to be more concerned about Huo Xiaoxie. She sat beside Huo Xiaoxie like a small bird, listening silently, and looked at Huo Xiaoxie with concern.
After Huo Xiaoxie finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and then Joe shouted, "Master Pan is really not coming back?"
Qiao Erzhuo looked frustrated, and said: "Master Pan is really heartless, at least meet us once, and say goodbye."
Tian Wen stepped forward, held Huo Xiaoxie's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Wait a little longer?"
Huo Xiaoxie looked up at the sky in the distance, after a day of tossing, the sun gradually set to the west, and it would soon be dark.
Huo Xiaoxie said: "After tonight, let's go tomorrow morning. I don't know what's wrong. I don't have any strength in my body. I just want to sit here quietly for a while."
Tian Wen looked around and said, "That's fine."
Lin Wan held Huo Xiaoxie's hand at this time, and said softly: "Huo Xiaoxie, you and Pan Zi have a different relationship, I know you are sad, don't think too much about Huo Xiaoxie. Pan Zi is fine Live, isn't it? Maybe it's better for him."
Lin Wan's little hand was warm and soft. Huo Xiaoxie didn't react at first, but after Lin Wan finished speaking, Huo Xiaoxie felt a little better, and then realized that it was Lin Wan holding her hand, and her ears twitched. Hot, quickly withdrew his hand back.But as soon as he withdrew his hand, Huo Xiaoxie couldn't explain why, regretted it endlessly, and his heart beat wildly.
Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly lowered her head and turned her face sideways, so that Lin Wan would not see her embarrassed expression.
Lin Wan was very generous, Hao didn't care about these intimacy, and didn't avoid suspicion, she said softly: "Huo Xiaoxie, you have more than ten stab wounds on your body, let me apply medicine to you."
Huo Xiaoxie quickly waved his hands and said, "No need, it's ready."
Lin Wan is not a coquettish young lady, she pulled Huo Xiaoxie over, looked at Huo Xiaoxie and said softly: "Don't be brave, even though you are as strong as a cow, this little injury can't do anything to you, but if you If you don’t take medicine, you will definitely get an infection.”
Listening to Lin Wan's words, Huo Xiaoxie felt warm all over her body, which was very beneficial.Although he has a strong and stubborn personality and is unwilling to be inferior to others in anything, he still longs for someone to care about him and love him in his heart.Lin Wan, a woman, has been occupying the softest place in Huo Xiaoxie's heart ever since she appeared in the Wang family's compound, always pulling Huo Xiaoxie's heartstrings.
Huo Xiaoxie felt that Lin Wan was really the best woman in the world, a character that could only exist in his dreams.
Now, Lin Wan is guarding Huo Xiaoxie's side, what reason does Huo Xiaoxie have to refuse Lin Wan to treat his wounds?
As the sky was getting darker, Qiao Daqiao Er was a person who lived in the forest all year round. He was more used to living in the deep mountains and forests than in the towns. It was commonplace to cut wood and make a fire, and a bonfire was lit in the blink of an eye.Lin Wan wiped off the dirty blood from Huo Xiaoxie's wound with a fine gauze towel, took a silver needle to pierce the blood clot, and carefully applied Mu's ointment, the redness and swelling on the skin subsided after a while.
Huo Xiaoxie looked at Lin Wan with a focused expression, her long eyelashes flickering, her bright eyes shining brightly in the firelight, and her body exuding a sweet fragrance, all of which made Lin Wanmei fascinated.Huo Xiaoxie couldn't help being moved and happy, if Tian Wen, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er weren't on the side, Huo Xiaoxie was afraid that he would hold Lin Wan tightly and kiss her lips.
Lin Wan finished administering the medicine to Huo Xiaoxie, Huo Xiaoxie thanked him, Qiao Da Qiaoer hurriedly squeezed to sit beside Huo Xiaoxie, bared his teeth and smirked, Heifeng also got into Huo Xiaoxie's arms, and licked Huo Xiaoxie's cheek.Lin Wan smiled slightly, stepped aside, and sat beside Tian Wen.Tian Wen was like a stone Buddha, such a beautiful woman sat beside her without moving her body.On the contrary, Huo Xiaoxie met her, and her jealousy grew stronger. Tian Wen and Lin Wan are both talented and beautiful. No matter how you look at it, they are a match made in heaven, but what is the relationship between the two of them now?Huo Xiaoxie really wanted to ask, but she held back all the time.
Everyone gathered around the bonfire, took out the food that Tian Wen and Lin Wan had bought by the way in Anhe Town, shared them and ate them.A hare ran past, which aroused Hei Feng's interest. Qiao Er was more interested than Hei Feng, and asked Master Huo if he wanted to eat hares. Huo Xiaoxie just smiled and didn't even say a word. He jumped up and chased the hare with the black wind.
Qiao Da didn't want to be idle, bowed to Huo Xiaoxie, and followed Qiao Er.
Beside the bonfire, only Huo Xiaoxie, Tian Wen, and Lin Wan were left.
The scorching flame crackled the dry firewood, and the flame jumped up and down restlessly, just like Huo Xiaoxie's mood at the moment.And this feeling is because of Lin Wan.
The three of them sat here idly, nothing happened, expecting Tian Wen to speak first, it was as impossible as expecting the mud bodhisattva to speak.Huo Xiaoxie peeked at Lin Wan, Lin Wan was using a small pair of tweezers to mix some medicine in the center of her hand, and she didn't seem to have any intention of speaking.Huo Xiaoxie hesitated again and again, should he say a few words to Lin Wan at this time to break the dull deadlock.
Huo Xiaoxie mustered up his courage a few times, but couldn't speak, so he lowered his head and sighed secretly.
"Huo Xiaoxie, do you want to tell me something?" Lin Wan's voice came.
Huo Xiaoxie was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to see that Lin Wan was looking at Huo Xiaoxie mischievously with her head tilted.Huo Xiaoxie panicked, how did Lin Wan know what she was thinking?
Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly said: "No, no, I don't know what to say."
Lin Wan smiled sweetly, and with a flick in her hand, a small pill shot out into the fire. With a bang, a puff of white smoke was emitted, and it quickly sank to the ground and disappeared.
Lin Wan said: "This is for mosquito repellent, this small one can last all night."
Huo Xiaoxie hesitated, facing this understanding Lin Wan, Huo Xiaoxie was full of words but couldn't speak.
Lin Wanying sat upright, put her hands on her knees, and said softly: "Huo Xiaoxie, do you like me?"
Huo Xiaoxie thumped, his heart almost jumped out of his mouth, how could he have imagined that Lin Wan would speak so directly.
Huo Xiaoxie's ears were burning so hot, how would he answer this question?Huo Xiaoxie wanted to say that she liked Lin Wan, but she couldn't say it.
Huo Xiaoxie couldn't help but cast a glance at Tian Wen, Tian Wen was still like a stone Buddha, as if he didn't hear him at all.
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Tian Wen is not me or anyone else, but I'm pestering him. He doesn't like me at all."
Huo Xiaoxie took a deep breath, forcibly calmed down, and said, "Miss Lin Wan, you are so smart and understanding, who wouldn't like you?"
Lin Wan said softly: "All you see is my appearance. When you get to know me better, you will know that the women of the Mu family are all called witches."
"Witch?" Huo Xiaoxie couldn't believe it.
"Well, Witch. Don't you believe it?"
Huo Xiaoxie smirked and said, "I don't believe it."
"In the eyes of the world, the women of the Mu family are not chaste, and they can drive animals and refine rare poisons. Do you know Gu art?"
"Gu art? What is this?" Huo Xiaoxie grew up in Fengtian, so he had never heard of this word.
"Gu art is a kind of harmful poison. It was first refined by our Mu family, and it was called Jiangyao. Later, the Miao people learned it and gradually it was called Gu art."
"Poison, poison can harm people, even if you know Gu, you can't say you are a witch."
"If you have tried the poison produced by the Gu technique, you will know that it is not only poison, but a demon, a demon of the heart. Tian asked why he didn't want me to follow, because the Five Elements family also thought I was a witch, and they were afraid that I would kill you." They play voodoo, so keep them at a respectful distance. Tian Wen, do you think so?" Lin Wan gently pulled Tian Wen's sleeve.
Tian Wen closed his eyes and hummed in a low voice: "Yes."
"Actually, when the Mu family first developed Jiangyao, it was not poison, but medicine, a medicine that cured human demons. Unexpectedly, as time went on, the Mu family discovered that there was no cure for human demons. , is innate and irreversible. It is planted from the beginning of the creation of the world. It can only be restrained, not eliminated, even if it is an eminent monk who has practiced for a hundred years. Many women in the Mu family can see through it. The evil thoughts in people's hearts, the use of drugs, can both suppress evil and promote evil, so it is not tolerated by the world."
"But I still don't think that you are a witch."
"Huo Xiaoxie, if I say that, you will feel it." Lin Wan smiled softly and said, "Women from the Mu family are not chaste and will never marry in their lifetime, but they will sleep with many men, as long as you Really like me, or you just want to sleep with me, I will accompany you."
Huo Xiaoxie's eyes widened suddenly, and her voice became louder: "Miss Lin Wan, don't be joking."
Lin Wan smiled and said, "I'm not joking, it's true. If Huo Xiaoxie wants me to accompany you, as long as you tell me, I won't refuse."
"Why, why! Why is this so! I don't understand!" Huo Xiaoxie felt a chill in his heart, he absolutely didn't believe Lin Wan's words.
"Witches are like this, are you afraid?"
"I don't believe it, I don't understand it, I absolutely don't believe it. It's impossible."
"Huo Xiaoxie, do you like me? I can convince you right now."
"No! No, no, no!" Huo Xiaoxie jumped up like an electric shock, and moved aside, avoiding Lin Wan like a tiger or wolf.
Lin Wan said softly: "You can't accept all this, Huo Xiaoxie, I didn't say that on purpose, I just let you understand."
"Stop talking!" Tian Wen stood up abruptly, with a serious expression on his face.
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Lin Wan straightened her hair, sighed softly, and lowered her head, still carefully arranging the medicines in her palm like a fairy who does not eat fireworks.
"Hares! Here come the hares! They're so fat!" Qiao Da, Qiao Er, and Hei Feng quickly came out from the side, and Qiao Da held three hares in his hands, overjoyed.
Qiao Er jumped to the side of the bonfire, feeling that the atmosphere was not right, and muttered, "What's the matter? Master Huo?"
Huo Xiaoxie whispered, "It's okay."
The three hares were quickly put on the fire by Qiao Da and Qiao Er, and they were grilled.
As if nothing happened, Lin Wan took out the powdered condiment, asked Qiao Da and Qiao Er to rub it on the hare, and when it was roasted again, the aroma came out.
Huo Xiaoxie had been sitting opposite Lin Wan, looking at her through the fire, Huo Xiaoxie couldn't understand why Lin Wan said such cruel words, was it the idea of cutting himself off from her?Would the women of the Mu family really be so promiscuous and promiscuous?That's true, no wonder Tian Wen doesn't want to be with Lin Wan, no wonder he wants to be called a witch... But Lin Wan's kindness, gentleness, thoughtfulness, and virtuousness are all fake?Why are these completely opposite qualities gathered in Lin Wan so contradictoryly.
Huo Xiaoxie faintly felt that what Bandituo said was a warning to him.
It was already late at night, Qiao Da Qiao Er was full of hare meat, and lay on the ground contentedly, snoring loudly.Hei Feng curled up beside Huo Xiaoxie, and seemed to be asleep.
Huo Xiaoxie hadn't fallen asleep yet. Today, Pan Zi's departure disappointed him, and Lin Wan's words shocked him. This world may really be too different from his imagination, and many things are beyond common sense.
Tian Wen, as always, sat cross-legged on the ground to sleep, he never lay down to rest, this is also his weirdness.But Lin Wan took off a scarf from her waist early on, spread it on the ground, and lay quietly on her side, sleeping very peacefully.
Huo Xiaoxie could see Lin Wan's face from the gradually extinguished flames. She had a childlike innocent smile, with her hands under her face, so beautiful and soul-stirring.
Huo Xiaoxie stared at it for a long time, then slowly closed his eyes, he was extremely tired, not only his body, but also his heart.
After a dreamless night, when a ray of sunlight entered the woods, Huo Xiaoxie opened his eyes habitually, straightened up and sat up.
Tian Wen and Lin Wan seemed to wake up very early. Tian Wen stood by the river with his hands behind his back, staring at the river water like a wooden stake, while Lin Wan was holding a large bunch of wild flowers and tender grass in his hands, and kept smelling them lightly.
Lin Wan looked at Huo Xiaoxie, smiled slightly, and didn't speak.
Huo Xiaoxie blushed slightly, got up silently, found a rocky ground, and lay down with two fingers on the ground. This is a compulsory homework for him every day, and he never dared to slack off.
Soon Qiao Da and Qiao Er also got up. The two stretched their waists, laughed foolishly, and said hello to Master Huo.Like a big bear, Qiao Da shook a tree as thick as his thigh almost uprooted, but he didn't pull it up. After shaking the tree loose, he replaced it with another one.Qiao Er climbed up the tree, scratched and moved up and down like a cat, and then jumped onto another tree, scratching and pulling up and down with his fingers.
After everyone's exercise in the early morning, Huo Xiaoxie knew that Pan Zi would not come again, so she told Tian Wen and Lin Wan to leave. Get on the horse and walk towards the small bridge in Anhe Town.
They will not enter Anhe Town again, they just pass by. After crossing the bridge, they turn to the other side, running in the opposite direction of Anhe Town.
But just as they walked to the bridge, they saw a large crowd of people crowded at the head of the bridge. At first glance, they were all the hooligans Hu Batian saw yesterday.Huo Xiaoxie thought, why do these people still come to find fault?
Some hooligans saw Huo Xiaoxie and the others approaching from afar. With a bang, several people rushed forward, knelt down on the bridge with a plop, kowtowed hard, and cried, "Heroes, chivalrous lady, help!"
Huo Xiaoxie was very curious, and said angrily: "What are you guys doing? We are in a hurry and don't want to get entangled with you here!"
The hooligan cried out: "Uncle Hero! Our eldest brother is dying! Please show me!"
While talking, several hooligans had already lifted Hu Batian, who was swollen all over, and placed it in front of Huo Xiaoxie and the others.
Huo Xiaoxie looked down, good guy, this Huba is so naively swollen like a pig's head, his neck and face are round and fleshy, stretched like a balloon.
Hu Batian's eyes were swollen into a crack, he got up tremblingly and knelt down, and said: "Several heroes, chivalrous women, please spare my life, I really can't take it anymore."
Qiao Da and Qiao Er are two bastards. Seeing this scene, they yelled, "Go away, go away, if you don't go away, we will kick you away!"
Lin Wan didn't say anything, she got off her horse, walked up to Hu Batian, and said softly, "Didn't I tell you to walk 100,000 steps a day starting today? Why don't you go?"
Hu Batian knew that the girl in front of him was the right one, so he said with snot and tears: "Chivalrous lady, how can I walk 100,000 steps a day? How uncomfortable!"
Lin Wan said, "Then you don't want to leave."
Hu Batian said: "Xia Nv, is there any other way? Please."
Lin Wan said softly: "There is no other way. If you believe me, you can stand up and walk now. As for your body aching, it is a normal phenomenon. If you keep walking for a few thousand steps, you will be fine."
Hu Batian snorted and said: "Chivalrous woman, I'm afraid I'll die of pain if I walk thousands of steps. I beg you to be merciful and give me another good prescription."
Lin Wan sighed, and said, "You don't believe me when I tell you. You can't bear this hardship."
Hu Batian said: "I've been used to being lazy since I was a child, it's really not good."
Lin Wan said: "Then I can't help you. If you don't leave, you can only live for a few days. If you keep going, you can live to be eighty years old."
After Lin Wan finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Seeing that Lin Wan didn't want to give any more good prescriptions, Hu Batian became violent again, thinking he was going to die anyway, so he boldly scolded: "Your mother! I'm begging you on my knees, why don't you see me?" If I die, I will die, no big deal! Fuck your ancestors!"
Huo Xiaoxie became angry as soon as he heard it, jumped off the horse, took three steps in parallel, and kicked Hu Batian in the face, kicking him somersault.Huo Xiaoxie scolded: "Try to say it again!"
Hu Batian is already dead, and he is not afraid of boiling water. At this time, he can't control this much, and yells: "Fuck your ancestors! You little girl, what kind of sorcery did you use? When you fall into my hands, I will definitely fuck you!" Kill you! Come on, come on, come and kill me! You try to kill me! Kill for your life!"
Huo Xiaoxie swung his fist to hit him, but Lin Wan said softly from behind: "Wait, you let him scold, he's filled with resentment now, just scolding will make him feel better."
Huo Xiaoxie was puzzled and said: "Lin Wan, you can't sympathize with this kind of person! This kind of person is not worthy of sympathy."
When Hu Batian heard what Lin Wan said, he kept yelling and scolding, and blurted out obscenities: "You witch, how can you harm me! To tell you the truth, I want to sleep with you as soon as I see you, fuck you Thousands of times, let you call me grandpa! Haha! Little girl, don't look at your grandpa, I am being hurt by you now, grandpa, I can still fuck you to death! Hahaha!"
Huo Xiaoxie immediately recalled what Lin Wan said last night, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately stepped forward and pinched Hu Batian's mouth, and cursed angrily, "Shut up!"
Lin Wan stretched out her hand to hold Huo Xiaoxie's arm, and said solemnly to Hu Batian, "Why, do you want to be with me?"
Hu Batian shouted vigorously: "Yes! Yes! Come on, take off your clothes and let me have a good time!"
Lin Wan replied softly: "Okay, yes."
Huo Xiaoxie was shocked and said, "Lin Wan, are you crazy?"
Lin Wan didn't take it seriously, but still said: "Hu Batian, if you really want to, just take me away."
Hu Batian's eyes glowed lewdly, he shook his head viciously and opened Huo Xiaoxie, a lewd hand stretched out and grabbed Lin Wan's little hand.
Huo Xiaoxie immediately punched Hu Batian hard on the nose, knocking him aside.Hu Batian, a boar, had already made up his mind to let go before disembowelling him. He was not afraid of pain, and he didn't let go of Lin Wan's hand, almost pulling Lin Wan to the ground.
Huo Xiaoxie wanted to beat Hu Batian violently, Tian Wen shouted loudly: "Don't worry about it!"
Huo Xiaoxie couldn't listen, his eyes were red, he turned his head to Tian Wen who was riding on the horse with no expression and shouted: "Tian Wen, what are you talking about? Don't worry about it? Can you keep watching? Anyway, I can't stand it! Let me kill this pig!"
As soon as Huo Xiaoxie finished speaking, Qiao Da Qiao Er couldn't bear it any longer, and jumped out, watching Qiao Da's posture, he was afraid that if he attacked, he could tear Hu Batian into several pieces.
Lin Wan said crisply: "You guys stop, you really don't need to worry about me, this is what I want." Lin Wan's words were firm and she simply didn't allow others to intervene. Qiao Da and Qiao Er jumped to Huo Xiaoxie's side and had no choice but to stop .
Huo Xiaoxie was like being poured with cold water, his face was distorted, and he said sadly: "Lin Wan, you...you don't want it."
Seeing this scene, Hu Batian was even more proud, and howled: "This chick has taken a fancy to me! She wants to have sex with me! You stand down, let me have a good time, and be a ghost!"
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Okay." As she spoke, she placed a hand on the back of Hu Batian's hand.
Huo Xiaoxie still wanted to stop her, but suddenly her eyes widened, and when Lin Wan raised her hand, a black mark suddenly appeared on the back of Hu Batian's hand, and the black mark spread at an extremely fast speed. It was covered with Hu Batian's palms.
胡霸天本还在淫笑，这下看在眼里，顿时着了慌，哇的一声大叫，松开了林婉的手臂。胡霸天手上的黑气蔓延极快，还没有等他翻上几翻，黑气已经上脸，先是几根血管发黑，随即满脸都一片通黑，胡霸天本来全身浮肿，皮肉发亮，这黑气布满脸颊，显得整个过程恐怖异常。
火小邪不禁倒吸一口凉气，跳后一步，胡霸天在地上翻了两翻，就不动了。
众流氓哪里见过这种骇人听闻的邪事，吓的吱哇乱叫，一个个抱头鼠串，狂呼妖怪啊，妖精啊，魔女啊！
等桥头安静下来，火小邪才看了眼林婉，心生畏惧的说道：“你杀了他？”
林婉摇了摇头，说道：“不是，我是救他。”
“救他？”
“是，他没有死。”
说话间，在地上一动不动的胡霸天突然身子一抽，翻身而起，双眼中已经混沌一片，看样子似乎是疯了。胡霸天哈哈傻笑几声，突然又蹦又跳，也不分东南西北，狂吼乱叫着跑了。
林婉看着胡霸天的背影说道：“此蛊虽说让他发疯，终日狂奔不停，直至体力不支倒下睡去方止，终生如此，也算是凄苦。不过这样，他能拣下一条性命。唉，怨不得我，他心魔太深，过的混沌点，未尝不是好事。”
火小邪叹道：“你这个法子，真够邪门的，但我挺喜欢的。不过林婉你吓死我了，我当你真的要和这个猪头去……”
林婉笑了笑，说道：“他对我并不是真心，全是恶念，我怎么会纵容他的恶念呢？我最初答应他，是想看看他还有没有一点醒悟，谁知他心魔太深，只好对他施蛊毒，由他自生自灭去吧。”
火小邪心有余悸的说道：“如果他醒悟了呢？你真的要陪他去睡……”
林婉柔声笑道：“未尝不可，呵呵。不过呢，我也嫌他丑呢，呵呵。这样说你心里舒服点了吗？火小邪？”
火小邪一块石头落了地，也不知该怎么回答，只好憨憨的笑了笑。
林婉抬起小手，掩嘴笑了笑，凑过身子，在火小邪耳边低声说道：“如果是你，只要你说出来，我随时都愿意陪你，真的哦。木家女子，对男女之事，从来不说假话的。”
火小邪脸上一烫，滚滚热浪传到下身，颇有些躁动难安。
田问又是不失时机的说道：“走了！”催动马匹，飞驰而去。
火小邪压下心头狂躁，与林婉一起，赶忙翻身上马，领着乔大、乔二、黑风追赶着田问去了。
火小邪甚至想到，如果不是田问在，他会不会把水妖儿抛开一旁，忍耐不住的将林婉拥入怀中……盗拓所说的遇土则隐，是不是说田问能够稍微克制一下他的邪火……
众人不愿在安河镇这个是非之地久留，几骑快马，绕过安河镇，向着北方而去。
驶出半日，便见到一条大河阻路，田问来过此地，带着大家沿河寻找渡口，可寻了几里路远，唯一见到的一个渡口却被毁了，似乎被多枚炮弹轰烂，损坏的惨不忍睹，看不出原先模样。
田问皱了皱眉，转头看向林婉。
林婉说道：“这一段路我也没有走过，如果等不到渡船，我们沿河再走一段。”林婉四下看了看，又说道，“这里有青云客栈分号留下的气息，我们向西去，最多五十里，就能遇上木家人。”
田问看了看水势和河道两岸，说道：“不必了。”说着跳下马来，站到河边，向上游看去。上游的方向正是安河镇所在。
火小邪等人并不明白土家的本事，田问是土家的高徒，有开山寻道之能，对河流走势、风水地向一眼就明。田问已经看出，就算这个渡口被毁，仍然是上下游五十里范围内，水势最平的地方，只要两岸还有人往来，必有船只经过这里，而且最易停靠。
林婉知道田问的路数，并不多说，也下马等待。
这一行人从三宝镇向北方来，一直都是田问带路。林婉数次说可以在青云客栈休息，田问一概拒绝，按照自己的方式行走。其实按照田问的逻辑，他所行的路线，全是风水术中的顺位，纵有险恶也不会出大事。田问在安河镇的时候，一直奇怪怎么会发生潘子留下的事情，按他摆的风水卦象，安河镇是有益无害之地，但后来见到锁龙铸，田问才明白安河镇中金行暗藏，不在山水地脉的卦象之内，而且其势极盛，割舍一人在此，能留下性命，已是不易了。
但田问的困惑在于，就算金行隐与安河，无论怎么参思计量地穴八脉，安河镇对他们还是一个吉地！而且是大吉之地！怎么发生这么多变故？连本应完好的渡口，都被毁了？
田问带着大家在渡口等了片刻，果然见到一艘敞篷渡船从上游行来。
火小邪见船来了，挥臂正要喊叫，只听到船上有人大叫：“火小邪！我来了！”
火小邪噗的一声喷了出来，定睛一看，那船头站着一个人，正极为兴奋的向他们挥手喊叫，这人烧成灰火小邪都认识，就是潘子！
火小邪失声狂叫：“潘子！潘子！是你吗？潘子！潘子！”
“是我！是我，我来了找你们了！”
乔大、乔二也认清了潘子，乔二一激动，跳上了乔大的肩头，两人狂呼：“我老天啊！潘师父！我们在这里呢！潘师父！”
黑风跟着火小邪、乔大、乔二汪汪大叫起来，原地乱蹦，那样子也是喜不自胜。
这艘渡船迅速的驶近了破烂渡口，潘子一个纵跳，站着木桩就蹦上了岸。
火小邪激动的忘乎所以，上前哐的一下，将潘子熊抱住，鼻子也都酸了，喊道：“潘子！你终于来了！我当我见不到你了呢！”
乔大、乔二、黑风也都围来，几个人抱成一团，兴奋的大喊大叫。
潘子被三人抱着，脸都红了，嚷道：“火小邪，你们轻点轻点！肠子要被你们挤出来了！杀人呢！”
火小邪他们这才放开，火小邪叫道：“潘子，你是怎么出来的？你没事吧！”
潘子捏了捏下巴，嘎嘎给推正了，喘道：“下巴都让你们撞脱了！哎呀，我怎么出来的，这个说来话长！大家先上船，我们边走边说！”
田问、林婉也凑了过来，面带笑意的看着潘子。
潘子说道：“唉！让大家担心了，不过我收获可不小哦！快，大家上船吧！”
遥远的山头上，段文章放下长筒望远镜，脸上的笑容消去，换上一副疲惫的神态，轻轻叹了口气。
刘队长刘锋站在段文章身旁，低声说道：“段爷，其实你不让潘子走，也没有问题的。”
段文章轻轻笑了两声，说道：“留不住的，留不住的，潘子的命运他自己已经做了决定，我又何必强留下他。”
刘队长说道：“潘子不是已经叫您父亲了吗？他就这样舍得？”
段文章说道：“他不能舍，又怎么能得？潘子想成大器，进我金家，就必须能够舍得父子之情！”
刘队长说道：“我不明白，难道父子之情还大不过他和火小邪的兄弟之情？”
段文章笑道：“潘子根本不觉得我是他的父亲，他只是应付我罢了，别看他小小年纪，心里只怕比我算的还清楚。他们此行所去，乃是要做惊天动地的大事，潘子绝对不肯放弃这个成就大事业的机会。”
刘队长说道：“潘子这样想，会不会野心太大了，如此大的野心，可是金家大忌。”
段文章说道：“不去登高看看，怎么知道天地广大？潘子这一去，必能看清自己，顺我金家体统，接过金王大位。”
刘队长一惊，说道：“潘子是承续金家之人？段爷！不，坤金王大人！难道乾金王也是这个意思？”
段文章说道：“我和乾金王为金王人选之事闹翻以后，金王之位，已经空了二十多年。我和他的孩子，都在外面漂泊历练，以期三年后决胜。呵呵呵，什么金王决胜，都是南柯一梦，我的孩子，早就死了，五年前就染上不治之症死了，我抱着我儿子的尸身，哭了数日，心中早就一片死灰。可见到潘子以后，我只想让他能活过三年，顺利进了金家！”
刘队长沉默片刻，颤声道：“潘子，他是乾金王的孩子？”
段文章说道：“是，但他也是我的孩子。乾坤二金，本就是亲兄弟，当年我和乾金王成为金家弟子之前，也象火小邪、潘子一样，有过生离死别。呵呵，而现在回想起当年我们决裂的情景，又无比后悔！当时只要坐下来商量几日，就有结论。要不是我们性子急，金家又怎么会分成乾、坤两派？”
刘队长说道：“那为什么乾金王不派人看着潘子？”
段文章说道：“这就是我们两个的不同之处，他信天命，我信人为，现在看来，反而是他做对了。”
刘队长不胜唏嘘，轻声道：“坤金王，我们回去吧，他们走远了。”
段文章看向远方，潘子他们的渡船已经消失在大河的弯折处。
段文章笑了声，说道：“刘锋，你还是不要叫我坤金王了，现在已经听着不太习惯了。”
刘队长应了声，说道：“是，段爷。我还有句话想问您。”
"go ahead."
“田问、火小邪、潘子去盗五行圣王鼎，是真的吗？是潘子亲口告诉你的？”
“潘子没有说，但我猜的出来。加上田问一出现，我完全可以确定他们此行的目的，就是倒鼎。呵呵，盗鼎啊盗鼎，只要土行灯一灭，早晚有人去做。田问不顾土家门规，急急忙忙去做，只怕是日本人和溥仪达成了协议，东北会有大事发生。他们盗鼎出来之时，就是真正的天下大乱之始！”
“没有人其他世家的人会阻止他们吗？”
“呵呵，我都能猜到他们是盗鼎，水王流川不会猜不出，火王严烈应该也能明白，木家林婉跟着田问，只怕木王早就默许，土家更不用说，土王田广怎会不了解自己的儿子田问？包括我们金家乾坤二王，知道了也不愿阻止。说白了，大家都等着看好戏，都想看看圣王鼎会最终落在谁的手中！这么多年了，一盏垂死挣扎的土行灯一直不灭，圣王鼎枯等在地宫中，土王田广再好的耐心只怕都烦了，各路贼王更是早就憋不住了！土行灯若被田问不按法典取出，绝无再亮的可能，五行灯齐灭后，就看哪路枭雄能将圣王鼎守到任一盏灯亮，那天下就是他的了。能够在有生之年亲见朝代更替，天下由分到合，最终一统天下，太平世纪，也不妄白活这一世，呵呵！”
“段爷，为什么我们五行世家不把圣王鼎据为己有？自己当皇帝？”
“刘锋啊，这个皇帝大家看着眼红，真的当上了，就知道还不如当个为所欲为的大盗好玩。所以我们五行世家，对当皇帝一点兴趣都没有，只对谁当皇帝感兴趣。你想当皇帝吗？刘锋？”
“我？段爷，我一点也不想。”
“呵呵，你要是想当，就去帮着田问他们，把鼎拿到手。再叛出金家，成为俗人，自然能争个皇帝当当。”
“段爷，你不要开我的玩笑了，我可不敢。”
“有人就敢。”
“各路军阀？蒋介石？”
“不是，这个人是潘子的好兄弟，火小邪。”段文章无所谓的笑道。
火小邪、潘子一行聚在船舱中，沿流而下。这艘船是段文章安排的，船夫听潘子的吩咐，想去哪里就去哪里。所以田问不急于登岸，让这艘船再前行八十里水路。
火小邪拉着潘子，聊的火热，并不怕船夫听到。因为摇船的船夫是个聋子，只能写字或打手语给他，他才明白。有林婉在此，她不费吹灰之力，就确定船夫是真聋，而且聋的非常彻底。所以众人谈论段文章、五行世家并无不便之处。
潘子憋的久了，几乎不用火小邪发问，就竹筒倒豆子一般，噼里啪啦把自己的事情全部讲了。
原来潘子与段文章独处之时，已经明确说了不能留在段文章这里，段文章苦劝未果，潘子也不相信段文章是自己父亲。段文章以父亲身份带潘子“回忆往事”，潘子见段文章没有恶意，便让他带着自己进了锁龙铸。锁龙铸的刀海是第一关，小屋子内还有八道机关，一道比一道厉害，段文章一一介绍，听的潘子心惊肉跳。
好在段文章将机关停了，两人一直走到最下方，才见到长长的走廊，铁门无数。潘子正觉有异，一扭头却不见了段文章。潘子害怕，原路返回，可原来下来的地方却改变了形状，完全不认识，潘子寻了半天出路，最后被困在一个铁皮屋子内，四面锁死，只有一个孔洞，从里面望出去，居然能看到外面的情形，亲眼目睹了火小邪、田问、林婉等人试探万鳞刀海的全部过程。
直到火小邪来到小屋前，还要入内，潘子才急的撞墙，他知道小屋内的八道机关，比刀海不知厉害了多少倍，火小邪要是妄入，只怕是活不了。
潘子狂吼乱叫，以死相逼，脑袋撞的全是大包，终于引得段文章让他说话。潘子大叫一番，让火小邪听到，见火小邪走了，才算安心。
后来段文章和刘队长两人一起来到，段文章以无数条件相劝，说的情真意切，颇为让潘子动容，感动之下，认了段文章当爹。潘子认了爹后，反过来劝段文章让他走，潘子皮厚，舍得嘴巴出力，一口一个亲爹啊、不孝子如何如何，趴在段文章床边苦劝一夜，终于说动了段文章，让他去追火小邪他们。潘子一大早赶到田问他们宿营的小河边，只见一个黑脸的猪头状男人发了疯的吼叫着来回奔跑，此地已经人去楼空，篝火还有余温。
潘子知道田问要渡河，便以水路追赶，果然得偿所愿，追上了火小邪他们。
潘子说完，挤着眼睛笑了笑，说道：“我还得了几个宝贝。”说着从船中一个牛皮包中取出几件东西。
潘子手中持着两把银亮的手枪，居然是刘队长所用之物！潘子说这是刘队长送给他的，让他留着护身，远战有妙用。除此以外，还有大把子弹，一大堆怪模怪样的小器械，其中有几根钢簧，潘子说是刘队长别在领子的东西。最后潘子拿出一个长条铁器，咕噜咕噜手上拆卸一番，就变成了一个带菱角的钢球。
潘子笑道：“这个玩意叫八变球，能够组合成许多中工具，使用起来非常有趣。哈哈，这是段文章，我那个有钱的爹送的。”
火小邪见了这一大包工具，说道：“全是这些了？”
潘子做了个鬼脸，说道：“知道瞒不住你，还有这个。”潘子嘻嘻哈哈从怀中摸出一张纸，抖开了一看，是一张银票，上面的数目是三百万现大洋。
潘子笑道：“我叫了一晚上亲爹，这是口水钱，反正我爹钱多的用不完，我要点路费，也没啥错。哈哈。怎么样，这可是随用随花的，我们两个挣来的，和土家、木家没关系。”
乔大、乔二发傻道：“三百万大洋，能干啥啊？”
潘子嘿嘿道：“能够娶三百个老婆，买一座山，修一套一千间房的大宅子，吃穿不愁的过一辈子。”
林婉捂着嘴笑了起来：“潘子，三百个老婆，你受的了吗？”
潘子豪言状语道：“皇帝老子都三千个妃子呢，他怎么用，我怎么用。哈哈。再说，这钱还不一定用来找老婆呢。”
火小邪骂道：“那你要这么多钱做什么？”
潘子说道：“我尽管不知道怎么花，但钱多了也不咬手，总有用的上的地方。嘿嘿！说老实话，段文章如果真的是我亲爹，我还是挺开心的。”
火小邪说道：“其实我不明白，如果段文章真是苦口婆心的对你说这么多，你还不相信他是你亲爹吗？”
潘子说道：“我真的想相信啊，可我当孤儿当惯了，突然有个爹，不太习惯，其实我……”潘子说着，突然眼睛发红，赶忙转过头去。
火小邪看在眼里，说不出的，他心里想念父母的哀愁越来越浓重。
潘子绕开话题，将两把银枪举在手中，拉起火小邪说道：“火小邪，我给你看我的枪法！这东西和齐掌炮没多大差别！”
火小邪哈哈一笑，两人笑闹着跑到船头，潘子左右手举枪，说道：“看到岸边那颗枯树顶上的树杈没？”
火小邪顺着潘子的眼神一眼，果然看到一百步开外的岸边，有一颗枯树，枝干被人劈砍的查不多了，树顶上还留着一根明显的树杈。
火小邪点头应了，潘子喝了声好，抬手就打。
“啪”的一声，树杈打飞，“啪”的一声，树杈从中间被打断，“啪啪”两声，两截树枝被再被打断。潘子左右手轮着开枪，速度和准头好不惊人。
火小邪喜道：“厉害啊！”
乔大、乔二也真心诚意的拍马屁道：“潘师父厉害！”
田问、林婉候在一边，微笑不语。
潘子并不得意，说道：“枪是个好东西，威力挺大，就是用起来麻烦了点。首先就是子弹，没子弹这个东西就是个废物，第二就是火力不受控制，打出去的东西速度都一样，不能随心所欲，第三就是太容易被对方判断子弹打出的方向。我玩了三年齐掌炮了，要说灵活方便，偷盗之用，手枪屁用都没有，最多拿出来吓唬人。”
火小邪说道：“那个刘队长用枪就用的出神入化，我们两个人一点赢他的办法都没有。偷东西的话手枪没有用处，防身退敌确实是好东西。”
潘子嘿嘿笑道：“也是也是！有这么个威力强大的兵器在手，再碰到郑则道这贱人，我啪啪啪啪啪来上一梭子，非把他打出个血窟窿不可。”
林婉轻声说道：“现在人们越来越多的使用西方科学，用以弥补自身缺陷。一把手枪在手，比苦练十年飞刀来的更方便，天上飞的，水里游的，耳中听的，眼能见的，以前不知道要花多少时间勤学苦练的技艺，科学技术均能便捷实现，这样下去，总有一天，五行盗术会变味，谁不想取捷径呢。拿木家来说，现在的西医从根上与我们不同，尽管木家觉得西医乃是治标不治本的粗陋医学，但西医在效用上能立竿见影，只怕假以时日，西医会把中医逼的走投无路呢。”
火小邪说道：“林婉，我觉得你太过于担心了，手枪这些东西虽然厉害，也要看谁在用。如果是胡霸天那些流氓拿枪，人手一把又能如何，我的身手能够躲过！但手枪在潘子手里，却威力大增，如虎添翼。人用枪，而不是枪用人。”
林婉说道：“火小邪你说的很对呢。可是反过来一想，外界的工具很强，若是自身修行不够，反而会成为工具的俘虏。我们尚能驾御，世人有多少能明白？现在天下贼盗的品行越来越差，许多荣行贼人都不守贼道，和土匪强盗一般，只知炫耀武力，贪婪忘义，不学无术，好逸恶劳，这样下去，五行盗术恐怕连继承之人都不好找了。”
火小邪哑然，回想这几年他在江湖上的所见所闻，贱粽（不守规矩的贼）越来越多，近乎于流氓无赖，胡霸天他们只有一点三脚猫的偷盗本事，却仗着刀枪在手、人多势众，就能横行霸道，自诩为荣行。火小邪想一想都觉得有气！是否真的如林婉所说，世道乱了，西学东进，西方的文化道德观念冲击中土，物欲横行，人们的品德正在逐渐败坏，老祖宗的东西逐渐不被接受，勤学苦练、遵法重典的品德被人忽视，使得盗术一代不如一代。
想到这里，火小邪多少有些无奈，于是说道：“至少我们这一辈不会如此！再往后几十年，盗行会如何，实在难料！做好自己便是！”
潘子插话道：“林婉姑娘，我知道你是埋怨我见到金家的枪啊、机关啊就忘乎所以了，提醒我注意呢。您一定放心，我喜欢这些东西，却更在乎自己操纵他们的本事。就好象我贪财爱钱，却不会被钱使唤着当驴推磨呢
