Chapter 8 The eighth chapter, Lao Yan cherishes all kinds of sorrows, sorrows, life, infatuation, and hidden dangers. Three cups of wine, indulgence and murder

Li Qi thought of Huan Ping's words at the time, and was worried, the iron castle was already in sight.Looking down, the people's exchanges and operations are the same as usual, knowing that what Huan Ping said has not yet happened.I am quietly telling Lanzhu to inquire with Lingyun first when she arrives, and to persuade her to pay attention, Hongxia has already embraced everyone and flew down.The Nine Heroes saw that everyone in the fort saw Hongxia flying, they all waved up and cheered.Suddenly, they heard Cui and Cheng stop drinking at the same time, and they didn't talk to the others, so they flew out of the light, drove the flying armor horse, and flew into the slanting stab.Jin Guoshi and Zhang Wan also seemed to notice something different, and shouted: "Let's go quickly, they don't have any magic weapons in their hands, I'm afraid they are not enemies." Feidun Zhifa flew together, chasing after Cui and Cheng.The crowd originally came from the back mountain side, when they took a closer look, it turned out that there was a dark cloud flying from the front side of the mountain, surrounded by two Taoist monsters and 20 or 30 bandit gangs, each armed with swords and weapons, flying in from the front side of the mountain. Cui, Cheng, Jin and Zhang were the first to discover and chase after him.Everyone is going to help.

Li Qi knew that it was the bandits from Geshan who heard the report from the good guys in this castle, and learned that Jiu Xia and other experts had gone to Yushantou to fight, and they all left the castle empty, only the director of the castle, Zhong Chi, and the hero Duan Quan stayed behind.It happened that the old thief friend Kongtong sent the monster Xie Tongpiao and Xuanwu real Luo Fei to visit from Gansu. When they heard that the Hunyuan Patriarch had appeared in person, he concluded that the enemy would definitely be defeated.He also heard that the Nine Heroes hadn't returned for three days and that the scenery and weather in the iron castle were wonderful, so they wanted to take advantage of the traitor's internal response and take the opportunity to commit crimes.Li Qi remembered that Huan Ping had said just now that he knew that these two demons were not evil or high-level, and they were also abandoned disciples of the Kongtong Sect.The master and apprentice of Hunyuan Patriarch, the powerful enemy, has been taken in by Yue and Zheng Erxian, and will not invade within three years.Before the Huohai Tibetan Treasures are retrieved, although monsters and bandits will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to intrude, with the strength of everyone, they will definitely be able to deal with it calmly.There is also a misfortune, it is too early to deal with the future, and it will be just a false alarm, and there will be no serious harm.Cui, Cheng and other four go forward, and they will surely win.But Lingyun is in a very difficult situation. In order to want everyone to win, not only did she never borrow her sun mirror, but she also handed over her shadow mirror to Jin Guoshi.Wei Bi didn't know about this, and he didn't expect the Pirate Party to attack so quickly.Seeing the robbers and monsters coming to attack, they will ask Lingyun for the two mirrors. Because they are old evils, they are used to coercion and oppression, and they have many scruples, so they dare not resist.Wei Bijin changed his mind and fell in love with each other again, Lingyun was full of grief and anger, angry in his heart, not only had nothing to do, he tried to make ends meet everywhere, hoping that he would be comprehended over time, and at this time Wei Bi would definitely be angry.Once the conspiracy is exposed, Wei Bi will surely lose, and Lingyun will also suffer from it.It's better to be the first to get ahead, and to live in Qun Town first before the internal response erupts, so as to calm down the matter.Tell Lingyun secretly, order him to warn Weibi, make Li Tiebao, and then remove the remaining group of good cameras.Although this kind of practice is selfish because of caring too much for Lingyun, but according to Huan Ping's tone, helping others should help oneself, and there will be many benefits in the future.So they don't let people chase after him.

As soon as they landed, they found Qian Xitang and Xiaocui brothers and sisters in the square next to the fort, together with a dozen or so young men and women, all armed with weapons and hidden weapons hanging from their waists, practicing martial arts.Wei Bi and his wife were not there either.The Qian brothers and sisters looked up at the rosy clouds, and they flew down with the crowd, with surprise on their faces.At the same time, two loud arrows flew up from the front mountain and shot straight into the sky.On the other side, the people in the castle were cheering and cheering when they saw the Nine Heroes flying down from the sky.As soon as Li Qi landed on the ground, he purposely said loudly to the crowd: "We fought hard with many monsters for three days and nights on the top of Yushan Mountain, and there was no winner, but fortunately, two immortal elders came to help us, and we have already won. One of the fairy elders said that there were other changes in the castle, so he hurried back. Just as he fell, he saw that the two demons brought a lot of demons, and they came from the front mountain. Now they are divided into enemies, and nothing will happen. Don't mind, elders and brothers, even if there is any noise, it's as if we haven't seen it, and we will deal with it. When the matter is over and see the old castle master, I will talk to you in detail." While speaking, he caught a glimpse of Wei Biyou from the castle Nei Fei ran out, also with a hidden weapon in his body.Originally holding a sword hilt, with a murderous look on his face, it seems that because everyone flew down too fast, he didn't see it first, and just after he left the gate of the castle, he found that the Nine Heroes had successfully returned, and his face immediately turned disappointed.Hearing Li Qi's words again, he seemed to be both hated and afraid, he exchanged glances with the Qian brothers and sisters, but he didn't even greet the Nine Heroes, he flashed behind the tree beside the road, and then slipped away.

Although Li Qi was wary of Wei Bi, he hated him very much, as if he had never seen him.After finishing the preface, he just walked into the fort, and suddenly saw Cheng Xianzhen being driven out from the inside, and asked with a smile: "Seventh brother, sister Lan, have you seen Wei Bi?" Li Qi then said what he had just seen.Xianzhen said angrily: "At first, I was quite tolerant of him for the sake of sister Yun, but who knows that this fellow is really inhuman, and now even I, who have never had any grudges with anyone, hate him very much." Li Qi and his wife knew that Wei Bi is Zhu Wu's friend, Xianzhen has an extremely gentle temperament, to say such words, he suspects that Wei Bi's treachery has been exposed.At the same time, he caught a glimpse of Ren Long speeding past with a big order in his hand, and when he saw Jiu Xia came back, he only had a happy face, nodded his head, and ran out in a hurry without even thinking about speaking.

Li Qi was concerned about Lingyun's safety, and became more and more anxious, so he asked Xianzhen why she hated her.Xianzhen said angrily: "Sister Yun is as beautiful as she is, with both civil and military skills, and she is so gentle and chaste. Don't say that my seventh brother didn't know the details before and treated her wrongly. Even though we are both women, we love her very much. This fellow This virtuous wife has been cultivated in a few lifetimes. She is mean and shameless, and she doesn't know self-love. She almost destroys and bullies sister Yun, and does everything. Miss Yun is also aggressive. Sometimes I was persecuted by this guy, or flattered, seduced and coerced, knowing that what I did was unrighteous, and I did what he said, just like the last time I asked my seventh brother for a cold elixir. The seventh brother almost died because of this. Fortunately, Lanmei is very tolerant, and the seventh brother is in heat and does not behave politely. The seventh brother was too infatuated with her, fearing that she might be mistaken for himself, he had to resolutely let her go. Unexpectedly, he almost got into trouble, and if something happened, although he was still the jewel of the king, met late, loved her deeply, but Boren died by me, only Repay her with death, and when her fickle husband accomplishes his mission, she will go underground and never live alone. This is when Wei Bi found out that when she was alone in danger and went through the clouds to steal treasures, she secretly colluded with the bad guys and seduced Xiaocui Fornication, thinking of being sad, and speaking out the confidant's words. Just like this, the tone is still upholding, as long as Weibi has a little conscience, I don't know how to do it well. Since your brothers left, Weibi has only been in love with Xiaocui every day for the past few days Together. Miss Yun used Dai Lanmei's excuse to serve as the master of the castle, and did not go back. His husband and wife had not seen each other for three days. Wei Bi suddenly seemed to be in a hurry today, so he came to find sister Yun, forcing her to cry. I was Chatted with the old castle owner, listened to Haitang's secret advice, and rushed to persuade him. This guy has been acting sneaky recently, always avoiding me. I hate him for bullying sister Yun. I was about to question her when he saw me coming through the window and pointed at Yun viciously. Sister, after saying a few words, she walked out of the back door and ran out. I asked Sister Yun why Wei Bi deceived her. Sister Yun shed tears first, then questioned her again and again, and then said it was because of the two heart-shaped mirrors. I saw Yunmei was so angry that her hands and feet were cold, she was not angry, she remembered something again, and wanted to ask this fellow for questioning, since the seventh brother has returned, there is no need. Why didn't the fifth and ninth sisters come back together?"

Li Qi was thinking about Lingyun wholeheartedly, because Xianzhen's speech was too long to enter the question, and it was inconvenient to ask urgently, so he was worried.Looking at Lingyun walking alone from the flower path on the left with his head bowed, he seemed to be thinking about something.Lan Zhu has already shouted for Sister Yun to meet her first.Li Qi felt that although the conspiracy had not yet been exposed, he thought of Ren Long galloping out with a big order in his hand, with a suspicious expression on his face, and it was inconvenient to say what Huan Ping said, so he hastily talked about the four heroes chasing the enemy.Just as she was about to set up a word to inquire, Xianzhen seemed to understand Li Qi's mood, knowing that he had no scruples in protecting Lingyun.He thought to himself: "Although Wei Bi is a beast in clothes, he is my guest. The owner of the castle has very strict laws, and his betrayal has been exposed. His reputation has been ruined, and everyone's face is related. Fortunately, Li Qi loves the house and the black, and is afraid of rats. Make it small, make it trivial." Just as he was about to wake up, Li Qi couldn't help but ask first: "Brother Ren rushed out just now with a big order in his hand, is there something urgent?" Xian Zhen saw Li Qi pretending Calmly, with a worried look on his face, he replied with a smile: "Seventh brother, don't worry too much. Didn't you hear the two arrows that rang out just now? When you go out, you must pass on the word, and carry it out as ordered. Whatever happens on the way, you don’t care about it, so you don’t have time to say hello. All the brothers and sisters have returned successfully. , nodding knowingly.

Li Qi looked sideways at Lanzhu again. He had met Lingyun earlier, and they stood together, whispering in secret.One is tall and elegant, with a graceful appearance; the other is graceful and graceful, beautiful and beautiful.And they all have jade skin like snow, with peerless beauty, their faces are full of flowers, and each other hides each other, making them more and more beautiful, rich and beautiful, thin and fat, and indistinguishable from each other.Thinking of Wei Bi's cunning, selfishness, fickleness and treachery, Yue Dai Lingyun's grievances, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I have long been in love, I wanted to catch up with him and talk to him.Seeing that Xianzhen seemed to have something to say, she hadn't left yet, so she couldn't go forward alone.Stealing a peek at Lingyun, she seemed to be wiping away tears, with a resentful and pitiful expression.I can't do anything with my strength, I can't help, and my heart is indignant.Suddenly thought: "I have made up my mind a few days ago, only to maintain it in secret at any time, and never get close to me again. How can I be so reluctant to part with you? There is a good wife in the room, and the situation is difficult. He, we can trust each other, it's better to be indifferent in appearance, otherwise, even if Lanzhu and a group of friends are all understanding, but listening to Xianzhen's tone, the other party has already understood my intentions, and it is as if we are separated from each other and hate each other late , if you love too much, if you are sincere, you will make the other person feel his life experience and think of sadness, wouldn't it be against my original intention?" Thinking of this, he suddenly became alert, stopped looking forward, turned his back on purpose, and asked with a smile Xianzhen has something to say.Xianzhen thought for a while, and replied: "I know that the seventh brother loves the house and the black, and is valued by the master of the castle, and everyone loves it. No matter how big the matter is, it can be resolved. If something happens within a day, it may depend on my sister Yun and I. Feelings, disappearing in secret, so as to save the two of us from suffering together?"

Because Wei Bi seduced Xiaocui into adultery, Xianzhen was coerced by Qian Xitang's brothers and sisters, colluded with Wu's father and son, and acted as a member of the party to steal the party.Although fortunately the Nine Heroes returned successfully, the good party did not dare to act rashly, but sooner or later it will be a future trouble.If you don't report it, you will be sorry to the master. If you report to the castle master, you will have many scruples. Lingyun will suffer first, and you will also be ashamed.Anxious in his heart, he didn't know that Li Qi had already been informed by someone else, so he had a well-thought-out plan.Knowing this matter, only he can lift the weight as light as possible, even if he is a little partial, the castle owner and the whole castle people will be convinced, there is nothing to say.He also fell in love with Lingyun. Since his marriage with Lanzhu, although he was in heat and stopped to salute, he had no other thoughts. The heart of pity and love has only increased day by day.Even though Wei Bi is inhuman, he cannot bear to cause Lingyun to suffer.Most of the Nine Heroes brothers and sisters are stubborn and evil, so if they don't take advantage of the time when there is no one else to say hello first, once it is exposed in the hands of others, it will be difficult to turn things around once the incident becomes serious.Because the matter was too big, I was trying to set up words to sound out the other party's tone first, and when Li Qi asked, I immediately took the opportunity to say a few words.In order to prevent Li Qi from being suspicious, it was hard to say anything, so he included himself in it.Li Qi said with a sigh of relief: "Sister Yun met someone who was not good, and her life experience is pitiful. Everyone in the road sympathizes with me, let alone us. I already know what the second sister-in-law said. If the second sister-in-law ordered it, it doesn't matter to sister Yun. The younger brother will also do his best." I will take care of any difficulties and obstacles, and I will make big things into small things, and small things into nothing, and I will be punished for violating the rules of the fort. My brothers and sisters know my heart well, and they will be forgiven. I only ask my second sister-in-law to be careful Sister Yun just knows." When he said that, he heard a slight sigh from behind him, and when he looked back, it was the two daughters walking hand in hand, standing behind them together.Lingyun's starry eyes were flushed, tears were still shining, her eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and she looked at Li Qi with an air of gratitude and sadness.Lan Zhu is also star-studded, with a look of grief and indignation on her face.

It turned out that Lingyun had just been angered by Wei Bi, so Yu Xianzhen came to condolences.Following the return of the Nine Heroes, Lanzhu rushed to meet each other, and was even more attentive and sincere. Compared with each other, she was even more sad.I am afraid that my eyelids will be red and swollen, and people will find out;Looking at people walking between the Hualin Mountains and rocks on the main road, they hurriedly walked around the forest with Lanzhu.Seeing Li Qi talking with Xianzhen, she didn't pay attention to what was behind her, Xianzhen only wanted to test Li Qi's mind, whether she would take this trouble that had never happened before, she was negligent for a while, and she didn't pay attention.When the second daughter came around from the flower forest behind Li Qi, Fang Shi realized that she was about to greet her, but Lan Zhu stopped her with a wave of her hand.

It turned out that Lanzhu first saw Li Qi infatuated with Lingyun, she was generous on the surface, but she was not without affection in the end.It wasn't until after they got married that they investigated secretly, and found out that both the man and the woman had very bright hearts.Even though the husband was obsessed with love, he didn't have any distracting thoughts, because there were so many shadows in his heart, he felt deeply ashamed of himself and added a lot of respect and love.So he was very moved, not only convinced that her husband is a human being, but also became more affectionate towards Lingyun, treating Lingyun like a flesh and blood.I just feel that Lingyun is too indifferent to Li Qi, and he feels aggrieved.I thought to myself: "Love each other with the heart, meet each other with sincerity, ask the heart without others, how can you be sympathetic to others? What's more, men and women in this castle have no scruples. Although people are infatuated with you, since they found out that Luo Fu has a husband, since then I no longer think about courting a phoenix. Although my physical appearance is sparse, my care and love are even more meticulous. This kind of estrus and courtesy, a friend in adversity, is rare in this world. I and his young husband and wife are deeply in love, and we are still understanding. How do you pretend to be unfeeling? Most of the time when they meet, they are cold and don’t even have a nice word.” Because I love my husband too much, I want to give him some spiritual comfort, so that knowing that people are not grass and trees, love is not in vain.Seeing that he and Xianzhen were talking endlessly, knowing that Weibi's rebellion and internal response to the enemy were discussed, so he deliberately didn't talk to Lingyun first.Lingyun was avoiding people again, just as he wanted. On the way, he deliberately smiled and said: "How can he and the second sister talk behind the back of others? Could it be that there is something urgent in the castle that we have been away for three days?"

People who are born with a lack of love are often like a shadow of a snake, and the grass and trees are like soldiers.Lingyun had long looked at Xianzhen from a distance with a hesitant expression, hesitating to speak.Afterwards, Li Qi answered with a very passionate expression.Ding Xianzhen seems to intercede on Weibi's behalf, although he knows that Li Qi is infatuated and infatuated, he is very upright, most of the brothers and sisters in the alliance hate evil as much as hatred, and the castle lord's laws are strict, although he is newly married and loves his son-in-law, everyone expects him to return, nothing is as important as it is, I'm afraid it is not It can be saved by one person.Even if he refuses to help, it's no wonder he is, but how did he get it?He was worried at first, but when he heard Lan Zhu's words, his mind was even more touched, he was startled and anxious, and pretended to be calm on the surface.Quietly replied: "Maybe there is something that I don't want people to know. Fortunately, Seventh Brother treats me like a sister, and Sister Xianzhen loves more than her compatriots. Why don't we hide our past and eavesdrop on what they say, so how about a smile?" Lan Zhu concluded that her husband would rather suffer for Lingyun than try to preserve it. She wished Lingyun could hear it with her own ears, and immediately smiled.After the second daughter arrived, Lingyun heard that Li Qirui was in difficulty, and wanted to eliminate the matter invisibly, so as not to let outsiders know, and not to let Xianzhen tell herself.It is clear that it is too late to meet each other and there is no hope in this life. Although the love is deep and righteous, I only love it in secret, but the surface is still the same as before, deliberately indifferent, so as not to arouse feelings and cause sadness.Such idiots are really rare.Deciding that Wei Bi is under his protection, he has nothing to worry about, and a stone falls from his heart.Recalling the previous relationship, I was so sad that I couldn't help but sighed. Li Qi has also looked back vigilantly, and expected to be heard, just couldn't help shouting: "Miss Yun, take care." Suddenly hearing the laughter of men and women, looking back, it was the male and female heroes who were walking together. The party has been defeated.When we met and asked, it turned out that after Cui, Cheng, Jin, and Zhang Sixia left, Wang Fan, Huang Jian, and Wan Fangxiong returned to the castle with Li Qi and his wife. Walking in, he hurriedly made a move to Huang and Wan Erxia, and retreated outside the fort again.I was worried about outrunning the Four Heroes of the enemy, and wanted to help each other, when Ren Long ran out to deliver orders to the crowd.At the same time, I caught a glimpse of Taniguchi's side, the sword energy of the precious light was flying in the sky, and the black smoke and evil mist were billowing like a tide.Just as he was about to rush to help in the battle, he suddenly saw two rays of light like lightning from a long rainbow, and the evil smoke and mist disappeared at that time.The leader of the demon seemed to know that he was invincible, so he hurriedly used evil methods to fly up a demon cloud again, surrounded his fellow robbers, and fled in the air, leaving a demon behind.Ben was reluctant to support, and fought and retreated, but his flying sword magic weapon was amazingly powerful, the monster fired three flying knives in a row, and the dark and dark evil fire was all broken by the golden mirror.Although the Pirate Party was rescued by the former demon and escaped, after the demon's way was broken, seeing that the evil law was broken, it was too late to escape, Zhang Wan's three consecutive swords, green, red, white and three bright lights caught up.The second heroine wanted to chase, but Cheng Quan saw that the bandits had fled far away and could not catch up, so he ordered everyone not to chase.After discussing with Li Qi, he simply took advantage of the disastrous defeat of the monster and rushed to the cottage by himself within a few days to find out the truth and get rid of them all, so as to avoid future troubles.Wang Fan and other three people have also arrived, and they all felt that Chengquan's words were reasonable, so they rushed back together.When they met Li Qi, they all advocated rushing to sweep up the cottages within a day. On the one hand, Li Qi was instructed by You Huanping, knowing that the pirate party and the monsters have nothing to do with the overall situation, so there is no need to be busy for a while; The plot must be exposed.Lingyun doesn't say anything, Xianzhen is the master of the residence, and if he doesn't tell if he knows it, he will suffer, and the situation will be embarrassing.Therefore, he reasoned: "When we came, the victory and defeat of the enemy and us on the top of Yushan were not divided, and the two immortals Yue and Zheng didn't know whether they would win. He once made a bet with Yue and Zheng Erxian, so it is inconvenient to break his promise to come here to disturb us. If we seek out the door, we will not give up. The master and apprentice of the demon way have high evil methods. It would be safer to get rid of the harm after the master and apprentice of the evil way have left." Wang Fan had heard Huan Ping and the Bing brothers and sisters talk about the evil methods of the Hunyuan Patriarch. The monster handed over by the stolen party has repeatedly humbled him to invite him to go.Later, I heard that the scenery of the iron castle is beautiful, and after repeated instigation by the bandits and goblins, there was a fight.If you have to go back to the mountain after the work is over, if you are frustrated, or if someone comes forward and fails to fulfill your wish, it will definitely be a great shame and shame, and you will not come back for a while.Li Qi was also present at that time, so why worry so much?To be asked.Lanzhu was smart, she had heard her husband's intentions early, so she quickly stopped her eyes, and said with a smile on purpose: "Second brother still has a heart of hatred and hatred. We have worked hard and suffered many hardships. We have just returned to the castle. We should take a little rest and go. I'm not busy these two days." When Wang Fan saw her talking, he looked at Lingyun and suddenly realized.Seeing that Cui and Huang were about to start arguing, they hurriedly picked up the conversation and stopped them: "My brother and sister's words are reasonable, let's wait for a few days, find out the truth, see if the demon way returns to the mountain, and then go to get rid of the harm, it's really much safer. So as not to cause other incidents." Everyone secretly waved their hands when they saw Wang Fan's words, knowing that there was a reason, so they didn't mention it again. Then he saw the hero come and said: "The old castle master heard that all the younger brothers and sisters are coming back, and is waiting to meet each other. Why don't you go in and chat here? Is there something embarrassing?" I don't know if the good man's plot was discovered by him, and he wanted to inquire and understand it, so that we can meet again, and it is inconvenient to speak out in public, so he replied with a smile: "When we came, we encountered a gang of bandits led by demons to attack. We just fought back and killed a demon. We are talking For the matter of confronting the enemy, elder brother came here." Then he said to Lanzhu: "Brother Ling just sent out an order, why hasn't he come back at this time? Can you ask Hongxing to invite him to come here? I still have something to say to him. Let’s talk.” Lan Zhu understood, smiled and nodded.Hongxing and Haitang, the two Hui maidservants, just got the letter and rushed over, with attendants at their side. Hearing this, Hongxing had already run away.Then everyone walked in slowly, just as Zhongchi paid their respects and talked about the fight, Ren Long had already arrived.Fearing that he would find out about the conspiracy, Lan Zhu accidentally leaked it out, so before entering the house, she called her elder brother to greet her first.Zhongchi smiled and said to Li Qi: "My little girl is so naive. She is still naive now that she is an adult. She doesn't look like an adult." I underestimated her." Zhongchi said with a smile: "Your sister Lan lost her mother since she was a child, and the old man only has one daughter, so she is spoiled, but she is also honest and kind. It's even better." When Lingyun entered the school, he remembered that her husband had seen the Nine Heroes before and never returned. He believed in the words of the demon party and was sure to lose.If it wasn't for the old thief Wu Cheng to act prudently, unless the victory or defeat is clear, and he has the real news, he is not allowed to act rashly, and he has already started in advance to cause trouble.I didn't know it at first, but on the third day, Wei Bi forced him to search for the treasure mirror and confessed his treasonous plot. Then he found out the truth.While anxious and worried, Xianzhen and Jiuxia came to see her one after another.Once you know Jiu Xia, nothing will happen.Hearing Li Qi's words again, he felt relieved.Suddenly I remembered that I had seen Ren Long galloping out with a big order in his hand just now, and he suspected that the conspiracy had been revealed, so he was anxious again.At the beginning, Zhong Chi was very happy because his beloved son-in-law had returned successfully, so he only dealt with the Nine Heroes first, and the others ignored him.Lingyun didn't know that Ren Long and Li Qi were the most affectionate husband and wife, no matter what happened, they had to discuss it.And because Li Qi and his wife regard Lingyun as flesh and blood, even if they want to expose their schemes, they still have to ask, why did they report to Zhongchi first?The heart is beating a drum.Hearing that Zhongchi's tone was not evil, and he smiled at each other, he was half relieved.Fang replied: "How can Lanmei's husband and niece be compared?" Lan Zhu was walking in with Ren Long, and said, "Daddy always thinks that I have a childish temper. What's the point of becoming an adult and rigid? This group of monsters are really strange, thinking that we must lose in the battle at Yushantou , trying to take advantage of the opportunity. Unexpectedly, the five sisters and nine sisters broke the evil law and killed a demon gang, and almost killed the robbers who came with them. It is said that they live in two lairs. Wu Kai, the son of Wu Cheng, went to join the old thief Nine-headed Lion Dragon Tianhua, and met the little thief Xiaolong Wang Longfei at first sight, and they became brothers with different surnames. Feijin worshiped a demon as his teacher, and learned some evil methods, and became more arrogant and self-confident. When chasing the enemy today, Cheng Badi once heard the little thief secretly tell his comrades: "The enemy is powerful, and there is a big accident. Fortunately, in front of us Sheng, return to Feiyunling quickly, and don't attract ghosts to the door, or you will be seen by the old village master. "Although due to the evil tricks of the demon, I escaped too fast and did not catch up. I used to go to Feiyunling for hunting in the past. That The situation in the place is very strange, very steep, surrounded by deep gullies and gullies without any connection. There are many flat places on the top, and the rocks are very white, just like a few white clouds stacked together, winding up, higher than the surrounding gullies; it looks like a huge empty flowerpot, with a clump of Ganoderma lucidum planted in the middle. It is tall and wide, and the longest distance between them is more than a hundred feet. Only the southwest is low, and there is a protruding rock opposite the gully, which is the closest to the peak, and its width is also more than ten feet wide. There are many thick and long vines growing on the two cliffs, which is the closest. The peak is eight or nine zhang away from the top, and there is also a concave cliff. It is extremely difficult to fly over without a person who has excellent lightness skills and is brave. At that time, I saw that the shape of the mountain was very strange, and I used a noose to catch the vines on the opposite side and fly over. A group of five people stayed on the peak called Feiling for two days and one night. Not only the caves and ravines are clear and beautiful, but also there are many exotic flowers and herbs, all kinds of wild elixir. Forest. If it wasn’t too far apart, I would have wanted to separate our people into several families and move there, but they were taken over by thieves.” Chengquan didn't wait for her to finish, he interjected: "When I was chasing the enemy, because I didn't have much magic power, I forgot to take the magic weapons of the brothers and sisters. If I wanted to use the invisible wall to hide my body, I would kill a few of them first. He was vigilant and only wounded Wu Cheng and another thief in the shoulder and arm, but failed to do so, but I heard the black words: not only is Feiyunling the old thief's branch, but there are also a lot of cattle and horses hidden in it. According to Wu Cheng, not only the old lair does not want to be chased by us, but even the Feiyun Ridge should not be known to outsiders. The little thief with a flying knife on his head and shoulders is just like Long Fei, the son of the old thief that Brother Ren said , Li said: "It's better to win today. If the enemy who fought against the patriarch at Yushantou really comes back, I know the patriarch's temperament well. He will never be defeated. Otherwise, he will order all his brothers to return to the village to deliver letters, or at least escort us. Back away, how can there be no news after three days? Just after the incident is over, the enemy has just flown back from the top of Yushan Mountain. It is such a short distance. I don’t think it’s a defeat. It must be the two opponents under the tree king peak mentioned by the patriarch a few days ago, or the Lenghunyu female demon Bo Xunpo, who made trouble for no reason and took the matter on him. The patriarch feels that these enemies have little power. Thin, the victory is not martial, I don't know the enemy's reality beforehand, I believe what Brother Pang said, I don't agree with people everywhere, I make a fuss, since someone comes out, I will throw away this group of unknown juniors, and first divide with those few enemies who are brave. Competence. Both are powerful enemies. Bo Xunpo is an expert in the Demon Cult. She has a lot of magical treasures. She can't win in a hurry. The other party will take the matter away, or make an appointment at another time and place to win the battle Negative. According to the rules established by the patriarch, before the enemy is defeated, don't say that killing this group of juniors at that time may not even allow the disciples to set foot in the iron castle. In fact, this group of people just got a few magic weapons due to luck, not Taoism Why are you afraid that he will come? If you don’t go to Feiyunling, let’s go. If you dare to chase after me, I will only launch a fire attack, and no one will survive.” I wounded two thieves in a row. One of the demons used evil methods to protect the bandits and fled. I think this group of bandits will eventually be a confidant of the castle. Let’s take a break today and ask the owner and the seventh brother for orders tomorrow morning , How about going to have a look?" Zhongchi didn't know the details, so he first smiled.Turned to Li Qi: "What is your son-in-law's mind?" Li Qi originally wanted to ask Xianzhen to inquire about the details of the group's small plots from Lingyun when he was young, and to start separately within a day, first arrange Weibi, and then get rid of this group of good people, so as not to find out early in the morning. The Weibi people have not yet left, so it is difficult to preserve them, and Lingyun is also affected by them.At the same time, he thought that once Weibi left, Lingyun would definitely go with him. From then on, he would be far away from him, thinking about himself in vain, and he would never say goodbye, and it was hard to get any news.He wanted to keep Lingyun, but in fact it was absolutely difficult to do so.Just thinking about how to have both.Unexpectedly, Chengquan discovered the conspiracy early on. Although he knew that Li Qi loves Lingyun and is jealous, and refuses to go against his will, he finally feels that this is a great harm and should not be tolerated.When I came back that day, I used invisible spying again, knowing that the enemy's arrival was all instigated by the internal response, and I became more and more angry.Although because of Li Qi and Lan Zhu's usual instructions, they only said that they would go to the cottage to find out the truth, but they didn't say so clearly.But Li Qi became anxious, and quickly winked at Cheng Quan, not wanting to say anything.Turning to Zhongchi, he said: "My son-in-law has made a comprehensive plan for this matter, and I can't let it out in advance. I plan to make a secret plan with my father-in-law within a few days, and plan to succeed in one fell swoop. It is not impossible for the eighth brother to spy on it first, but the demon is very evil. , the eighth brother is evil like a vengeful, which makes me worry. It is best to rely on the magic weapon to be invisible, find out the truth, and come back quickly. You are alone and alone, so you must not make a move." Chengquan saw that Li Qi's move had some deep meaning, so he agreed casually, but he didn't Let's go on. Jiuxia, together with Xianzhen, Lingyun, Lanzhu, twelve men and women, bid farewell to the castle master, retreated to the hotel, and talked for a while.Li Qi tells Lanzhu to ask Xianzhen to ask Lingyun about the group's conspiracy.Lanzhu laughed and said, "Just now, Sister Yun has already told me what's on her mind. Because there are so many people, I want to talk to you in the evening. Now that Wei Bi and Xiaocui are fighting fiercely, Sister Yun can't stand the viciousness of men and women. Wei Bi was also coerced by Xiaocui, so she didn't dare to get close to Sister Yun. She was so angry that Sister Yun didn't want to go home. She said she would stay behind on my behalf. She stayed at my house for the past few days and never went back. Just now, because of Wei Bi's request for the mirror, and I'm afraid I won't go home tonight. She and I have already explained that the matter must not be hidden, and you can't save it. Why don't I prepare some wine and food tonight, and invite her to have a supper instead of eating with Brother Jiuxia. The three of them discussed in secret together, be frank and honest, explain the details clearly, so as not to cause trouble. What do you think?" Li Qi knew that she was always innocent on the outside, but she was extremely calm and steady in her dealings with others, calm and composed, cautious and quick, and at the same time, like this According to the explanation, it can be seen that it is easy to resolve, but it does not seem to be about to get angry, temporarily suspend the previous thoughts, and still worry about her, and is planning. Cheng Quan suddenly gestured with his hand, invited Li Qi into the bedroom, and asked with a smile: "Seventh brother always makes a quick decision when encountering troubles, why is he so slow these days? Sister Yun's life experience is pitiful, but this action is related to the safety of the whole castle, since I am lying down like this It’s a big disaster, the sooner we strike, the better. Although it’s a good idea to go to the spy party, it’s beneficial and not harmful. Why don’t you let me go? My brother loves his compatriots better than his compatriots, and he has nothing to say. Wei Bi is not a human being, so get rid of him , it’s not an exaggeration.” Before going on, Li Qi smiled wryly and said: "Brother Yu misunderstood Brother Yu's intentions. I used to love Lingyun too much, but later I found out that she had a husband, so I had no other thoughts. Emotionally moved, I suddenly feel like a confidant. Fort rules are monogamous, and you can't love each other. If you have other intentions, you can't forgive the castle owner and your sister-in-law. Besides, Lingyun has a pure heart. After passing by, I feel sad, but it is extremely difficult to ask her to leave Weibi. I want to ask her all the details behind the scenes tonight. They send and receive signals, and whether there is any other communication method. In order to follow the plan and wipe out the enemy, it is not true. If the eighth brother wants to go to Feiyunling first, he can only do it secretly, and he will not be able to fight against the bandit party. However, the evil law is powerful, and one person is lonely. It is best to invite another person to go with you when you go, and bring one or two pieces of Jiugong rare treasures for self-defense. Only then can you rest assured. This treasure is now ordered by the second uncle. The senior brother came to teach it in person, and it is even more powerful than before. Only the four of you have never studied together because you went to Shuwangfeng, so you can learn it a day or two later, just like us. Only within thirty miles or so, you can learn the formula with your hands. , one move, easy to use. The eighth brother makes an appointment with a companion, first learn how to send and receive the magic of the treasures, and then you can get up. You have a flying armor horse, and you don’t even need to learn how to fly. It’s here If there is nothing to do in the cottage, let it be. If you see that you are not an opponent, and the magic weapon you bring is not enough, you just need to follow the various formulas I have taught, and use your hand to make a move, and we will react immediately. Then use the sending method to release it , without a few words, you can receive anything immediately, and use it with your heart to exert its full power. As long as you leave it a day or two later, it can increase a lot of power, and you can advance and retreat freely. I am also relieved Much more. What do you think?" Cheng Quanxinuo.Then he told Li Qi: "When I came here, I have already discussed with the third brother, and we will go together, the seventh brother can just rest assured." Because Lanzhu made an appointment with Lingyun that night for a long talk, it was rare to have such a good opportunity on weekdays, fearing that Li Qi would be too busy teaching Chengquan and miss the opportunity to meet, she said with a smile: "Your seventh brother and I have had a tiring trip, and we have something to do tonight. I can't even drink with my brothers and sisters for midnight snack. Fortunately, it is easy to teach. The eighth brother will leave tomorrow, and there will be no time. If you are impatient, the second brother and five sisters are smart and hardworking. They have learned everything, which is similar to the seventh brother. It's the same to ask the two of them first." Chengquan only thought that Li's couple were newlyweds, maybe he had something to say, and replied with a smile: "It's the same with the second elder brother and fifth sister." Followed by the crowd, they came one after another, asking what's the matter, and betraying others Confidential?Chengquan replied: "Seventh brother has always been upright, how can he betray others? Just because the younger brother wanted to go to the Feiyunling cottage to spy on the truth, he was worried, and he didn't want to speak in public, so he specially asked me to come here to give instructions. Tonight, I have a discussion with the old castle master. After dinner, I will visit with my sister-in-law. Because I want the four of us to learn the rare treasures of the nine palaces and use the method of sending and receiving, I invite the second brother Wang and the fifth sister Jin to start from tonight. First teach. I wonder if the second brother and fifth sister will agree?" Wang Fanshou replied: "Accordingly, nine of my brothers and sisters outshine my compatriots, so how can I refuse? At this time, the genius Shen Chu, how about starting to teach now?" Jin Guoshi He interjected and said with a smile: "The teaching is the same now, but the eighth younger brother is sick and happy. After learning according to what I taught, he must be busy getting up. Although he succeeded in his hand, there is still a layer of entanglement in it. We must be on guard. As long as The eighth brother promised to follow the wishes of the seventh brother and sister-in-law to get up slowly, and I will teach you how to do it?" Cheng Quan said with a smile, "I understand the fifth sister's wishes. I only care about partiality and compromise, and don't think it matters too much. I always listen to the seventh brother I never disobey my order, and I don’t need my fifth and ninth sisters to worry about it. If I use this as a coercion, I will get up without bringing those magic weapons, not to mention that my second brother is willing to teach them.” Zhang Wan said with a smile: “Our nine People, you are cunning and self-willed, just do what you think. We are arrogant and chivalrous, helping the weak and suppressing the strong, it is a matter of course. You see how pitiful their family background is, why do you say partiality and compromise? I didn’t say a word, but I was pulled into the Is it possible that as a woman, she should be bullied?" Jin Guoshi said with a smile: "You see Jiumei is angry. It was you who caused trouble for no reason, no wonder people. Don't boast, because of my two sisters' affection, forced劝诸位兄弟，不传你法宝用法，由你一人闹去也办得到。”成全笑道：“我倒无关，可惜五姊话说太迟，崔三哥早已和我商定，他向来言出必践，恐怕五姊未必能够令发如山吧？”金国士闻言，转间崔南州道：“是你答应八弟，必须同行，不能更改么？” 南州对于国士热爱多年，近日好容易解除误会，情爱更深，再见国士吃成全拿话将住，转身诘问，面带娇嗔，越发怜爱，不忍使其难堪。无如答应成全在先，平生最重信义，况是同盟患难之交，闻言好生为难。方一迟疑，金国士面上已带愠色，冷笑道：“果然。我和你虽也同盟至交，可惜身为女子，到底遭人轻视，一句不相干的话都不肯听，还说什么？”南州慌道：“话不是这么说。五妹之言有理，无如事前没有想到，答应八弟在先，我这人老实，也不怕诸位姊妹兄弟笑话。当初我和五妹订交在先，按理遇事必须商议，尊重五妹意思而行。但以八弟说话灵巧，如说不去，必有许多说话，因此为难。”还待往下说时，兰珠见南州满面窘状，接口笑道：“成八弟堂堂男子，又是兄弟，明知七哥早有成算，话已言明，只因天性滑稽，喜欢取笑，自己弟兄有何争执？看我薄面，谁都不要再提，此事全照方才所说而行。无论哪位兄弟姊妹有何不快，有我一人赔罪如何？”南州知道在座诸人全都信服李氏夫妇，巴不得借此打开僵局，首先赞好。国士原是一时戏言，知道南州为人忠厚，见他窘状，好生不忍，乐得借此下台。成全本和南州至厚，笑道：“七嫂不必说了，三哥为人忠实长厚，便无七嫂之言，我也不会逼他。不过五姊、九妹老是成群结党，欺我一人，心中不服而已。”众人本是同盟至交，说过拉倒。 吃完夜饭，又说了一会，李琦、兰珠便起告辞。兰珠对灵筠说：“朱武出山访友未归，何必回家受人闲气？堡中空房甚多，还是到我家中暂住，畅聚几日的好。”灵筠事前原经商定，吃兰珠一拉，跟了就走。三人到内堡兰珠屋内，稍说片刻，兰珠早命二慧婢端来酒食瓜果，将人遣走，互相密谈。兰珠当着李琦，对灵筠道：“愚夫妇对你敬爱，亲逾骨肉，你所深知。他上次见你孤身一人前往穿云顶盗宝，几乎因此送命，人非木石，自然有点感动。但你二人心地光明，理应无话不说。何况此次逆谋早就暴露，要想转危为安，消弭此事，又非他不可。难得今夜无人在侧，莫若由筠姊详言经过，以便善为处置，免得稍有不合，误己误人。不知筠姊以为如何？” 灵筠凄然答道：“小妹命苦，幼遭孤露，寄养他家，年幼无知，受其欺骗。只因生性刚强好胜，明知所适非人，木已成舟，终想身已属他，只合自怨命苦。这多年来，为他受尽艰难，终想至诚感格。谁知他薄情负义，心志卑鄙。因见七哥与我亲近，当我小姑居处，痴情错爱，意欲借我笼络，于中取利，以致七哥几乎葬身万丈冰壑之中。他却乘我骗了七哥灵药、孤身涉险之际，乘隙与贱婢小翠苟合成好。由此受了狗男女的挟制，对我尽情欺侮。堡规一夫一妻，明知七哥已有贤妻，新婚恩爱，对我虽极爱护，始终发情止礼，从不私见，他偏受人蛊惑，血口喷人。今日为了那面宝镜被五姊借去，竟对我尽情辱骂。不说他勾引贱婢，自犯堡规，反倒说我受了七哥甘言诱惑，那面阳镜未借到手，反把自己拼命得来的一面阴镜私借与人，误他大事。少时若要查出九侠得胜是由于双镜合壁，便非要我命不可。如非贤贞姊姊得信赶来，已遭毒打。至于他那逆谋，以前并不深知，还是今天强索宝镜时，怒火头上露出口风。大意是武氏父子因恨兰妹拒婚受辱，小贼立志报复。于是逃往山外，拜一妖道为师，学了一些邪法，又和老贼九头狮子龙天化父子勾结一党。见九侠一去不归，以为必败，小贼意欲乘机强占铁堡，约定今日下手。他为钱希唐兄妹挟制，加上武凯之妹武凤，互相勾结，连同堡中好人，一共二十四个，约为内应，只等响箭一起，便即下手。他和钱希唐兄妹等十余叛党，奉命先往后堡行刺。因听九侠兄弟把穿云顶藏珍全得了来，段大哥一人留守，必非弱者，恐有法宝飞剑，不能抵敌，深知双镜合壁妙用，向我逼索。此时贼党原约申未之交举事，没想到提前赶来。总算是他命不该绝，否则宝镜如被取去，一听响箭，定必先攻内堡，逆谋全露，便是七哥以全力救他，众怒之下，恐也难逃活命了。” 李琦笑道：“此人真个糊涂，凭他那点本领，人又庸碌，除欺负筠妹以外，别无他长，也敢胆大妄为。慢说盗党不能得胜，算他侥幸成功，也无非做人奴隶，有甚好处？筠妹既然不知详情，等我稍微盘算，无论如何也看筠妹分上，将事平息。不过这么一来，他必不能在此存身，筠妹也必随之而去，从此海角天涯，不知何日相见，令人难过，还在其次；最可虑是，此人丧心病狂，无可救药，又有小翠贱婢进谗谋害，筠妹难保不为所算，实令人放心不下。我为此事筹划了好几天，苦无善策，不知筠妹有什么高见么？”灵筠见李琦词色诚恳，好似对于保存卫璧具有成竹，丝毫不以为意。只对自己钟情太深，惟恐会短离长，从此难再相见，心中惜别，万分难过。由不得也流下泪来。 兰珠见二人说完之后，相对黯然，灵筠固是满面泪容，神情凄苦，李琦素来不轻掉泪的人，虎目中也是泪花乱转，知道二人借别伤心，灵筠更多身世之感。只得强笑劝道：“你二人不必伤心，人生遇合无常。不怕筠姊见怪，像卫壁那样凉薄无义之人，此行必无善果。筠姊这样好人，难道天道真个无知，孽缘无有尽时，似这样的丈夫，没有他就不能过么？听二师叔口气，好似将来我们三人还要常在一起，一同修炼，我想见面必不会远。本来那两面宝镜全是九宫塔上奇珍，不应带去。后来一想，此宝如照桓师兄所传，目前数十百里之内已能互相收发，再用上四十九日苦功，不论相隔多远，一经施为，便可收发如意。筠姊此后如遇危难，只把此镜飞回，我们立时得信，便可赶往应援；如要钱用，或者别的相助，也是一样。” 灵筠对于卫壁心虽鄙薄，终想木已成舟，身已属他，只有怨命，盼其日久感化。或是仗着双镜合壁之力，取来火窟中的灵药藏珍，服了灵丹，改变心情，回头向上，便是自己福气。自从穿云顶取宝回来，接连发现许多丧心病狂之处，虽然悲愤，仍是守定前念，并无他意。直到当天，卫壁向其凌辱，才伤心到极点。虽然未有二心，对于李琦夫妇，由不得增加了许多情感，对于兰珠，更是感激异常。一听二人对她如此关心，不禁凄然流泪道：“小妹心比天高，命如纸薄，夙孽纠缠，木已成舟，除却自认命苦外，只有托迹空门，了此余生，以修来世而已。他受好人蛊惑，逆谋反叛，本来不能免死，幸蒙七哥、兰妹仗义解救。我料此人决不知道好歹，今日他听贱婢之言，对我所说极为难堪。此去途中遇险，如仗贤夫妇之力赶来解救，不特好人更要捏造黑白，他就宠爱贱婢，定必借此对我侮辱，以博贱婢欢心，乘机借题，遗弃暗害，都不一定，身为怨鬼，何苦再被污名？小妹此行，心志已决！万一皇天见怜，他能回心归善，虽非佳偶，尚可忍痛，与共此生。否则，他将灵药藏珍得到以后，必不舍那一双宝镜交还原主。小妹因为他是我的丈夫，望好过切，遇事偏私，平日虽不免有违心之举，叫我辜恩负义，誓死不为。但他那卑鄙凉薄，私心自利，小妹深知，事成之后，必为此事争执。到时他如能听我忠言，将此双镜遵照刘真人之命和五姊借镜还镜之约，将其归还，小妹对于这样薄幸情人，夫妻之情虽已名存实亡，为了许多顾忌，便随他苦熬一世，任其宠妾灭妻，情甘退让，决无话说。否则，既不忍对五姊负心背信，也不敢违背仙人之命，连他一起同受飞剑之诛，说不得，只好窃负而逃，仗着双镜妙用，带了逃走。我也不回此地，径直往穿云顶下，求见二位仙长，代收代还。如蒙恩怜，引进到别位女仙门下，自是万幸。否则，魔主波旬婆曾收小妹为记名弟子，曾说她与小妹缘分只此，不应收徒，只因一见钟爱，又经小妹再三苦求，才传了一点法术。别时又说：'我虽爱你貌美温柔，但是道路不同，将来自有你的遇合，最好莫来寻我，以免误你美质。'真要无人收留，那也无法，何况她是我的救命恩师，虽未前往，心实未忘。我看恩师对我十分喜爱，到了山穷水尽之时，前往求她，必蒙允诺。她又赐我一道救命灵符，命我贴身收藏，不可妄动，目前越是亲厚的人，越不可使之知道。一经施为，无论相隔多远，当时便被一片魔光笼罩全身，飞往冷魂峪，与之相见。不过她太爱我，明知我不应在她门下，偏又心爱，如再相见，不经我求告，也必不舍。如若拜她为师，却又彼此有害。最好此符能够不用，便到危急之际，只要强忍苦熬，必有解救。我也全仗这一道保命灵符，才敢大胆放心，与薄幸人同往火窟，探险取宝。方才贤夫妇所说的盛情和平日相待恩义，只好来世报答了。” 李琦早经仙人指示机宜，知道灵筠与波旬婆还有一段因果。有那一道保命符，灵筠此行固极安全，但要惹出许多事来，又不便劝她不去。心想：“事已至此，好在火窟取宝，双方去的时间差不多，也许到时能够解化。”李琦心中不舍，又想不出一个法子，可使灵筠多留几日。心想：“事情一经议定，至多三日，灵筠便要起身。”心正寻思，兰珠笑道：“自与筠姊定交以来，像今日这样长夜之谈，尚是初次。人生最难得者知己，尤其是波折愈多，情分越厚，求之越难，得之更喜。况又会短离长，不久便是天各一方。固然精诚所至，金石为开，皇天不负苦心人，终有苦尽甘回，相逢之日，毕竟良宵苦短，一刻千金。今夕只可谈风月，各说一点快心之事，希望将来，不恃慰情于无，也许人生遇合，瞬息百变，焉知今日愿约，不是他年息壤，何苦作那楚囚之位呢？”灵筠叹道：“兰妹，我蒙你不弃，情胜同胞，许列雁行，连七嫂二字都不令我称谓，深情盛意，我岂不知。无如命生不辰，年幼无识，受人诱骗，铸错于先，今已无能挽回，空负贤夫妇一番高义。而又限于环境，不久分别，天各一方，难言之痛，我心成痗，纵令强笑为欢，有何意趣？”李琦慨然接口道：“人之相知，贵相知心。人世本属空幻，只要精神常在，永矢弗渝，相处何在形迹之间？愚兄幸得重返师门，筠妹将来也不是没有仙缘遇合，即便万不得已，投到波旬婆门下，虽非玄门正宗，毕竟是修道之士，终胜凡人。她虽是魔教，又与寻常左道不同。此去固不免遭遇艰危，并非永无相逢之日。所望宽怀自解，各以诚心毅力，互期将来，永为良友，时相过从。暂虽别离，比起人生朝露，韶光易逝，决意当前，只是一时，转眼之间，便成陈迹，岂不要强得多？何况天道福善祸淫，孽满自尽。彼时一任筠妹芳春常驻，绝迹飞行，独往独来，更无拘束，那还有什么顾忌？我们暂时惜别，难免魂消，如若想起未来，正是后望无穷，照说只有高兴，如何愁烦起来？” 灵筠深知李琦情热如火，近日相对矜持，全是勉强压制。虽听兰珠力言无他，堡规固是一夫一妻，便他本心也绝不愿厚负兰珠，有那意外希图。只是谷真人所说夙世情孽，尽管用尽方法，兢兢业业，想把自己抛开，无如伊人情影，自从初见，便印心头，不能磨灭。明知能以理智战胜，为了将来修为，一返师门，连兰珠也无异于名义夫妻，无论说哪一面，也不会有什么逻想，偏是情丝牢系，难于摆脱。本来相爱太深，又见意中人这等身世遭遇，由痴爱之中又起一种同情之想，激动侠肠。心想：“外人如此，尚虽忽置，何况生平所最爱之人。”再一想到彼此相爱以心，相见以诚，但得素心人与共晨夕，何必在于婚嫁？于是决定爱恋到底，不问多么险阻艰危，必以全力相助，代脱夙孽，转危为安。由此成道长生，能得常共往还，于愿已足。话虽如此，无奈男子心情终是难测，何况此人心又大痴，万一热情奔放，不可遏制，岂不难处？为此时刻留心。不料当日因受刺激太深，感激对方深情密爱，无微不至，又因兰珠在座，别无他人，忍不住把平日蕴藏心头的情愫表现出来。心想：“分手在即，后会难期，为了顾全对方夫妻的情爱和自己平时心志，无论前途好坏，已不愿与再见。”越想越伤心，又觉就此短短一两日的聚首，难得当夜只有三人在座，一时良机，索性把平肾心意吐露出来，也使对方知道自己实是相逢恨晚，并非真个薄情。满拟表明为止，不料自己固然诚中形外，对方更是热情痴爱，在在流露，口气也是越来越露骨，兰珠又在暗中推波助澜。由不得生了一点戒心，想要开口，又不忍使双方心中难过，不禁迟疑。 兰珠聪慧绝伦，早看出灵筠心情不定。自己原想乘这两三日内，互把心志言明。好在不久入山同修，丈夫为人素所深知，虽然钟爱灵筠，只想结为良友，时共往还，决无他念。不过情感太热，除非灵筠也和他一样相爱以心，才得安慰。灵筠偏又生性仁柔，受惯小人挟制，多疑好胜，恐其心生误会，一去不来。及见当夜男女双方都是情深一往，自然流露，正代二人高兴。忽见灵筠玉颊生红，秀眉微锁，似嗔似疑之状。丈夫话更露骨，惟恐失言，转使疑虑，便朝李琦故意娇嗔道：“既然你说人贵知心，何必落于言诠，我早说过，自来夙缘不解，定数难移，怎么也摆脱不开。此时楚囚相对，固是无谓，便是多说未来空话，也是多余。非我夸口，今日因为是骨肉知己，同道良夜，共只三人，所备菜虽不多，无一样不是我夫妻平日留心记下筠姊喜食之物；并因筠姊喜食鱼虾，特意命红杏带了数人前往堡民为老堡主所备，非经年时佳节，轻不取用的后山小灵沼鱼池之内，钓来的鲜虾，以及中天他特产桂鲫。别处鲫鱼不过斤余，一满二斤，鱼皮便老。听说江苏六合县龙池鲫鱼，最大者达三斤以上，越大越肥嫩。但也不如天池产柔嫩肥鲜，天然有一种桂花香味，鱼的肝脏更是隽品，筠姊来此数月，因其出产无多，尚未尝过。那虾更是肥鲜长大，黄多子肥，长约一寸。炒成以后，满碗红油，香腴无比。休说别人，连你七哥也是沾了筠姊的光，初次进口。生舱熟炒，今夜生熟均备。本来早就奉上，因我们正谈心事，夜饭吃过不久，筠姊将有远行，此是小妹一点敬意，非要筠姊改愁为欢，我才拿出来呢。” 灵筠闻言，知道兰珠此举，固然一半为了夫妻恩爱太深，不愿丈夫相思太苦。又知双方发情止礼，心志高洁，只想结一知己忘形之交，决无荡检逾闲之虑。惟恐自己多疑误会，百计求全，一半也实在和自己一见投缘，越处情分越厚之故。见她词色那么诚恳，好生感激。暗忖：“造化不仁，专喜捉弄多情男女，使自己幼遭家难，身世飘零，致落好人算中。休说此别茫茫，知心良友难于再见，连这好一个至交姊妹，也未必再能相逢。”当时百感交集，方才想说的几句话，哪里还好意思出口。继一想：“这一双夫妻真个难得，实是平生第一知己，可惜不会再见，共总短短一二日的光阴。如不是他委曲求全，百计维护，薄幸人固是身败名裂，便自己也必连带受辱，还要累及居停主人。再如使其伤心绝望，未免心肠太狠。再说，也对兰珠不住。何不把话岔开，只作闲谈，再相机迎合对方心意，说上两句好听的话，今生固然不能接受他的深情，也使他心头得点安慰，不在人家痴情热爱一场。”灵筠人既温柔美艳，加以年纪较长，长于词令，少妇风华，另具胜场，念头一转，决计忍住心头苦痛，强为欢笑，陪着两位多情之人，作此长夜之饮。随口笑道：“我见兰妹约我消夜，以为必有盛设。谁知满桌均是瓜果蜜饯等零食，酒菜只有三样，比起平日九侠消夜的酒菜，竟少了十之七八。方才夜饭时，别绪萦怀，又想来此畅饮，并未吃饱，心正失望，疑心主人只是口惠，并无珍味，不料还有这好口福。别的不说，小妹生长江南，远离故地已有多年，在这大漠穷荒，似此风味久已不尝，何况又是鱼虾中的隽品。兰妹这一说，还未到口，食指已动，只顾口馋，连心事都忘怀了。还不快些拿来，先饱口福，再聆贤夫妇的高论么？” 李琦平日对于灵筠，全神贯注，遇事留心，惟恐不尽
