Chapter 257 The second fifty-sixth round of the Buddha's fire is extinguished and the remaining atmosphere is close at hand

As mentioned in the previous article, the demon corpse tried to escape from under the light of Zhantan Buddha's fire god, but failed.In the end, knowing that there are many sins and no hope for life, he turned to soft words to beg for mercy and beg endlessly.Li Ning knew that she was still trying to use conspiracy to escape, and said with a smile: "My Buddha is merciful, and I will turn my head back. You see the power of Zhantan Buddha's fire light is supreme. If you can escape by yourself, you can escape. According to your current will, Even if I want to let you go, I can't do it. Whether you can save the remnant soul is up to you, what benefit do you ask me?" The demon corpse heard the words, if he realized something, after a while, he became arrogant again.Li Ning also settled down and ignored it.Let's not mention it for now.

In addition, the goddess Ying Yijing, together with Laigu, Zhou Qingyun, Zhao Yan'er, and eight disciples, Shangguanhong, Yuan Xing, Mi Wei, and Liu Yu'an, were ordered by Li Ning to tour the entire cave and told everyone to come in and out. method.Yi Jing and Lai Gu thought that the two monsters would be punished soon, so there would be no further incidents.But although Wei Xianke, the leader of the opposition, is dead, Jinfu Fairy Xin Lingxiao is still alive. , became more and more perverse, and there were many casualties among the appointed helpers. He must hate Emei, and he would never give up.There is also Sha Hongyan, a jade girl from Ziqing, who originally regarded Emei as an enemy. In addition, Yingqiong was in a hurry to save Yan'er in the water room of Beidong, and accidentally killed the demon party who came with her, and Sha Liang was killed by poisonous hands. All these are all caused by wanting to forcibly occupy the magic wave pool and steal treasures.Unexpectedly, after exhausting all his efforts and encountering many dangers, Brother Bai Jiangnai and some of his comrades died, and lost many flying swords and magic weapons. Insidious.According to the mystery predicted by Li Ning, not only the two families will definitely collude, they will soon make a comeback and fight to the death; and when the time comes, one will not handle it well, and Sha Hongyan's teacher in this life, her husband in her past life, and the most powerful figure in the current alien sect, Ji Nangong Still have to come.It is no small matter for the master to retreat and rely on the few people in front of him to deal with it.Lai Gu is even more convinced that Sha Hongyan has a eccentric temperament, which will neither hurt her nor resolve it.Otherwise, Li Ning would not have mentioned how to resist when Nan Gong came.Anyway, Qingfu is not dead, and Lu is in trouble.As usual, people who learn Taoism will inevitably suffer from many disasters. Instead of leaving this disaster at that time, wanting revenge, and showing weakness, for fear of her master's fierce power, it is better to turn to the camera to eliminate this harm.After discussing with each other, fortunately, the general plan and the copy of the Tianshu have been obtained. The missing chapter of the second copy was in the hands of Shangguan Hong, and it just matched it. Using all the power, it has more wonderful functions than the previous demon corpse.I also got all the treasures hidden by the holy aunt and the treasure that boosted the power of the five escapes. Once I have done everything, even the gods of Daluo will be here, and it will be difficult to escape.If you want to ask for advice on Li Ningfo's cremation and refinement of demon corpses before you leave, you can arrange them along the road for the convenience of patrolling and passing on to all your disciples.

However, the holy aunt's fairy method combines the strengths of Buddhism, Taoism, righteousness and evil schools, and it is extremely miraculous by extracting the essence and applying the grandeur.Lai Gu's internal skills are both profound, and she has obtained the Taoist scriptures given by her teacher and immortals beforehand, so she already has the foundation, and she can use it just like Yi Jing at that time.Although Shangguan Hong's entry level is shallow, she was born with a fairy bone and intelligent heart, she is very sensitive, hardworking and diligent, she has done her best by learning the Yimu escape method first, even though she is timid and reserved, she can understand by analogy and understand herself without asking questions.The rest from Zhao Yan'er and below all thought that the sun was still shallow, and they could only know a little about the general method. When encountering extremely subtle things, even Zhou Qingyun was only between Shangguan Hong and his brother. Use it as you like.Therefore, explaining Shi's actions along the way, it took a long time before the middle hole was finished.Qingyun smiled and said: "The five caves have a vast area, how long will it take to patrol like this? Uncle Li will leave after refining the demon corpse, and my sister will leave too, so I can't do meager work. Thanks to the love of the two senior sisters, I will succeed in my studies." Going further will be of great benefit. But sisters are useless right now, and it will be the same if I pass them on to younger sisters in the future. I think that even all the disciples will follow them step by step, and there is no need to rush to teach them, lest Uncle Li go first and have no way to benefit. Two masters What do you think?"

Because of Qingyun's delicacy and gentleness, Yi Jing made great efforts this time, but she couldn't live together in the Immortal Mansion, although Ziyun Palace and Yao Palace were better, and she always felt that there was nothing to repay.It is for her alone that she waits for details, and she feels reasonable after hearing this.Hearing the last two sentences again, I suddenly remembered that Mi and Liu came from a sect. Although they worked very hard and made no mistakes, they were not enough to check their roots carefully.Before, I heard Qingyun secretly advise Yingqiong to "pay the most attention to the disciples, and you should be even more cautious after entering the Immortal Mansion" and other words.Another day, seeing her and Liu Yu'an having a back-to-back conversation, the expressions on both sides were very serious, Qing Yun seemed to have something to warn her, and when she saw that she was passing by unintentionally, she used gossip to distract her.Observing his expression secretly, it doesn't seem that there is any fault.I wanted to ask a few times, all because Hong'er worked hard in those days, and everyone praised her, but she refused to praise one thing or suppress another.I also remembered that when Yingqiong accepted Mi and Liu, because none of the advanced fellows accepted apprentices, and the recruits were from outsiders, they insisted on refusing.Qingyun and her are very good friends, seeing the sincerity of the two, interceding again and again, Fang Shi forced her to agree.And because the two of them got started by her own strength, and they knew that they would move to the Immortal Mansion soon. The law of the family is strict, and Yingqiong is childish and innocent.People's hearts are unpredictable, and because of the wisdom of the holy aunt, there are still demon corpses, so there is no other intention to warn the master and the apprentice to leave.Although the Immortal Art in the Cave is not good enough for him, he will never learn it, and even if he knows it, he will not be able to use it, but as the leader of everyone, he should always be cautious.With a thought, he immediately nodded his head in praise.Fortunately, both Laigu and Yingqiong can study the book of heaven and the general map as often as they want, and Laigu even walked through the middle cave, and Lizhu has already been obtained.Three people need to study hard within a day, as long as they don't teach Qingyun, they won't be busy for a while, this way, it will be much faster.

Seeing Yi Jing's use of charity, she seemed to be proficient in it, and she knew that it was the result of Yuding's trap, and she realized it in silence, and said with a smile: "This time, Senior Sister Yi suffered the most, but also gained the most. Knowing the subtleties of this, and being familiar with the road everywhere. According to this mana, let the demon corpse come out at this time, and let her live in this cave for a long time. She is good at the transformation of Xuangong, and she is no longer an opponent." Yi Jing smiled and said: "You little girl Looking at the demon corpse, although she lacks Yimu Quanzhang, she can't fully use the power of five escapes, and her tricks are not small. Especially her meticulous mind, suspicious and deceitful, she even treats her closest demon party Take precautions. Among other things, in order to break through the sapphire tripod, she had already made two fake tripods that were restricted by form. No matter what happens, there are two ways to advance and retreat. No matter how big or small, it was calculated as early as a hundred years ago, and a preventive method was left behind to take the lead. All the actions of the demon corpse fell into her calculations. Now recalling the past and carefully reading the general map are delicate, let alone We, no matter how many experts there are, we will not be able to get rid of her. If she finds the general plan and the treasure tripod lotus key, let alone gain the slightest advantage over her. In fact, the demon corpse is really good, but the evil is too serious. If you fall into the evil way, you will be addicted to the day and day, and there is no cure. The holy aunt and her are also sins, otherwise how could you keep her to this day? It is clear that you can't turn back, but still give her a few chances?"

Linggu smiled and said: "Do you know? We have a fellow-door, the heinous evil is no less serious than the demon corpse, and he has worked hard all his life before, but he has not been liberated. In this life, a layer of evil causes has been planted, which is dangerous The danger is even worse than that of a demon corpse. But he is a man, and he has never practiced lust and abstinence, so he relies on his innocence for nine generations, and his original spirit is not ignorant; With the secret help of Vajra Buddhism several times, Hong finally experienced many dangers and disasters, overcome all difficulties, completed his meritorious deeds, and was one of the best male disciples in his sect. Among other things, his two magic weapons alone are invincible Humans can be enemies. It can be seen that there is nothing wrong with adultery. He was surrounded by evil spirits, trapped in a glamorous makeup circle for two years, and was tempted by evil charms. It was difficult for him to die every day, but he was able to defend himself like a jade, with the same heart Stop the water, and influence the sins of the previous life to overcome a great difficulty. Otherwise, this hurdle is the most critical moment for him. Although the other party is an adulterous woman, not only is she in vain, she cannot hurt her at all, but she must be loved and cannot be harmed. Just let it go. How difficult do you think it is? To be like a demon corpse, if you stumble a little, you don’t need this life, and the previous lives are already over." Yi Jing listened and practiced the arrangement.After listening, he smiled and asked: "You are really knowledgable and knowledgeable. You started after me, and you are often together on weekdays. Although I started not much earlier than you, the master and our school have a relationship before, how can you I have never heard of such a miracle? Who is this, who has this ability?"

Lai Gu smiled and said, "I am younger than my senior sister, so I have a lot of experience? I didn't hear from Master Tulong about the previous incident. As for the day of transcending the robbery and becoming enlightened, I guessed it based on reason. This person, you and Junior Sister Zhou I know everything. Didn’t you hear Uncle Li say that a few rascals, who haven’t seen each other for so many years, have already established a mansion in Tianwai Shenshan, which has never been visited by ancient immortals? Outside the aperture, it is the mystery of the universe. The strangest thing is a region in the extreme south, which is connected to the ground of the polar hollow island in the extreme north. There is a monster in the local area, named Hanyu, who has more than 10,000 years of skill. Magnetism Huo Aurora, how powerful. They carry nineteen magic weapons and flying swords that are all of the quality of Gengjin, and there are little monks all the way. The Buddha's light can only protect the body and harmless. Strange treasures, attack poison with poison, cancel each other out, how can they live in the local area? Don't look at Jin, Shi, Zhen, and Yi, all of whom are small and light, all of them have deep roots, and coincidences are so coincidental. It’s even higher. It’s such a strange place, and the experience of this trip must be more lively than ours.” Yi and Tuesday only found out that it was Ruan Zheng and his big brother Shen Tuhong who had returned from the catastrophe, and the ascetic Toutuo senior brother, who is now facing the wall in the East China Sea The laughing monks who have not expired for nine years have been famous for a long time and have not been seen yet.So they talked to each other about the Tianwai Shenshan in the small Antarctic Bright Realm, which must be even more peculiar than the scenery in Ziyun Palace.Don't talk about ordinary people, even many famous Sanxians at home and abroad can't even break through the barrier of Aurora Yuanmagnetic True Qi.They all want to travel in the future and open their eyes.do not mention.

Because the cave is big and has many ways, just in case, I was extra careful. Although it was faster than before, it still took a lot of time to complete the arrangement.Fearing that Li Ning is going to leave, although he has no doubts or difficulties to ask for help, he finally wants to ask for some advice, and decides that after he leaves, he will break up the prohibition and break the prohibition, so as to practice, he rushes to the bedroom together. Looking back, Li Ning is sitting on the futon.Yingqiong is still waiting on the side.The demon corpse in the Buddha fire is still the same, but its expression is more ferocious.After being severely injured by the most powerful treasures in the two sects of immortals and Buddhas, such as Ziqing double swords, scattered light pills, moon crossbows, orbs and seven treasures, and practiced for several days by the divine light of Buddha fire, the primordial spirit unexpectedly It hasn't dissipated yet, what a magical power it is.Just being surprised, Yingqiong saw Yi Jing waiting to come back, and said with a smile: "Why have you been away for so long? Daddy is leaving soon." Laigu smiled and replied: "The demon corpse is still fine, why is uncle leaving?" Yingqiong said: "The demon corpse was trapped by the light of the Buddha's fire god. She tried several times to cheat and conspire, but failed to achieve her wish. After being tightly controlled by the light beam of the Buddha's fire god, it was a little better if she didn't move. She struggled a little, and the suffering became worse. She was restless. , the ending became like this, and she couldn't even flicker her eyebrows. Of course, if she was more honest, her body and spirit would also be destroyed. If she wants to subtract more, it will take half a day longer. Her delusion escaped, and soon she was reacted by the subduing demon fire, which invaded her body and merged with her primordial spirit. Refined into a body, it is no different from a living person. Because of the powerful evil method, the spirit is firm, and the crimes suffered are the most severe. Ordinary people can still ask for death, but she can't even ask for death. Don't talk about herself at this time, even Those who practiced the law felt sorry for her, and either let her go, or wanted to kill her early, so as to save her from suffering more, but they couldn't. Those who hated her the most couldn't bear to see this miserable situation, and begged her father to activate the divine light to melt her away several times, so as not to feel sorry for her. Just now, her father told her via voice transmission that it took a lot of hard work to get her Mian Yun's request was advanced half a day. You can see that when the demon corpse is facing the enemy, it performs the transformation of the mysterious kung fu, and the body separates and merges, and it is involuntary. Once it is controlled by the magic light, the whole body seems to be real. At this time, the soul is full of energy It has been melted by Zhan Tan Buddha's fire to the point of exhaustion. With her many years of hard work, it has the same body as a living person. Not only is it perceptible, but it is more sensitive than ordinary people's suffering. I thought she was fierce, but if you take a closer look, you will know."

After hearing what Yingqiong said, everyone could see that although the demon corpse had a terrible appearance, fierce eyes and angry eyes, and danced and danced, as if it was about to pounce on people, it was just like a clay figurine. Turn around.There is a thin layer of auspicious light covering the body, and it is impossible to tell whether it is the divine light of subduing demons or the flame of Zhantan Buddha.Both Yi Jing and Lai Gu are experts, and they know that the demon corpse is like a thin paper carcass, filled with boiling oil, the inside has been completely melted, as long as it is ignited, it will explode and disappear immediately.Calculating the time again, it turned out to be the seventh day.Because no one cared about talking and laughing all the way, knowing that all the disciples have improved their skills, and soon they will be able to fast for many years, so they don't feel hungry or thirsty.Fang Zai was relieved, when he suddenly heard the Buddha's call, Li Ning opened his eyes, made the seal with his hands, flicked it out, and saw a tiny spark popping out from his nails.Suddenly there was a piece of blue glow on the body of the monster, which was reflected from inside, and the auspicious glow outside the body rose upwards and closed. It was as fast as lightning, and it only flashed for a moment. Half of the people didn't see it clearly, and then disappeared.Looking at the demon corpse again, it has disappeared.Even Guangxia, who was caged with Li Ning and the demon corpse before, was nowhere to be seen.Everyone paid homage to Li Ning and praised the magic of Buddhism, which is incredible.

Li Ning said: "According to my heart, I don't want to make it suffer such a cruel punishment. There is no such thing as a demon corpse who is too vicious and evil, and I want to suffer more. I really have no power to relieve it. See you today She couldn't bear the hardships, and she coveted to gather with me for half a day, begging repeatedly. The power of the demon-subduing divine light and the sandalwood Buddha fire is really inconceivable. In order to please Qiong'er's request, she was cautious again and again, which almost caused rebellion. Although in recent years If you improve your skills a little, you won’t make any mistakes. Don’t be careless after all. I’m glad that you got this fairy mansion, and there are also heavenly books and rare treasures left by the master. The blessings are not small. I hope you can cultivate yourself and prove the fairy karma together. What should be paid attention to, I have already said before, and I am leaving." Yingqiong pouted her mouth and said: "Daddy is like this. My daughter wanted to get together with Daddy for half a day, and she said a lot of good things, so she put the demon The corpses were wiped out ahead of time, so they would have walked faster. If I had known it would be worthless, who would have the patience to intercede on behalf of the demon corpses?" Li Ning smiled and said, "Idiot, why are you still childish back then? My niece is the one with the most evil spirit among the female disciples in Emei, and she hates demon corpses the most on weekdays. She is willing to intercede on her behalf. Although half of it is due to her admiration, the cause is ultimately due to this. If you feel compassionate, you have already benefited from it, and so do I. Few, but more worries. This must be your recent foundation and personality. You and my father and daughter are all outsiders. Although we will not see each other for a long time, we are expected to achieve success in the future. Why should you be attached for half a day here? In the past, I might not be willing to stay for you. But I think, my teacher restricted me to return to the mountain at the beginning of the eighth day, and the Dazhan Sandalwood Buddha cremated and refined the demon corpse. It would definitely not take seven days and nights. If you don’t ask, there will be two more One hour is the end. Maybe the teacher has something else to send, or there is something else, and I still need to stay outside for half a day. After the matter is over, I press the divine light and silently exercise my heart. Sure enough, someone is on the way, and I still offer you Zhu Uncle and Uncle Yi came here by order. Lingyun and Ziling's nieces were also involved. The incident was caused by Tiancan, Dique and Shuangfengshan's two children. There are many clues. There are two Fumo Zen The scriptures, the relationship is very important, it must have been calculated by the teacher, I want to stay here, but I can't do it."

Everyone wants to ask who is coming, and whether they still want to meet each other in the cave?Suddenly, I saw a warning sign from Zhonggong Wutu, and then heard the sound of the divine eagle singing from afar.Because Ying Qiong didn't follow the crowd all the way, all five caves were closed, and Yi Jing acted separately according to the general map of the holy aunt, fearing that she would be locked up in the front cave, when she was about to ask, she suddenly heard continuous whistling, and didn't speak to anyone. There must be something urgent.First suspect that when Yi Jing came, he taught the general method, but the divine eagle couldn't understand it, violated the prohibition by mistake, and listened carefully but felt that it didn't seem like it.Fang wanted to look out, but Yuan Xing knelt down and said, "I tell Master that there is a guest outside the cave asking to see you." Before he could finish speaking, Yi Jing suddenly said in surprise, "Who is this, who can go straight into the middle cave? Why? Close the door and stop going further? Wait for me to see." Li Ning said with a smile: "No need, this is the person who is looking for me. Because he has a rare treasure, he has high magic power. Although the five escape restrictions are not as good as Yi Xian's niece, but they are not weak. This person is the most cautious in his actions. , although the flight is extremely fast, in order to prevent evil spirits from following, you have to pass by the vicinity of the demon's lair in Dajiu Mountain. Relying on being one of your own, without waiting for a payment, you use magic weapons to defend yourself and open the door to enter. To prevent you from being paranoid, blame him Showing off, fortunately, it’s okay to just get started, so I won’t move forward. Although Steel Feather is a different kind, after washing the marrow and cutting the hair, it has greatly improved its skill and wisdom. Just now in Jingqiong Valley, because the ancient god Dove under the seat of Daoist Yang passed by, This dove has been enlightened for thousands of years, and its power is supernatural, but it is too violent, and it only seeks evil spirits and bad luck. The two birds are just like you, and they are very close friends. Then, I went out privately to go to the appointment. On the way home, unexpectedly, Yi Xian’s niece had finished her business, and activated the five dungeons together. If it was inside, it should be able to pass through. With this gate, how could I get in? It just so happened that someone arrived, and in a hurry, I couldn't find the portal either. The two parties had met each other before, and each knew their origins. People and birds discussed each other. One was a familiar place and pointed out the location of the portal, and the other practiced the method and brought it in together. Jiawen Wenwen. It’s not about making excuses. It’s just that the road ahead is difficult for you. One thing more is better than one thing less. Fortunately, Daoyou Yang is not an outsider, but also a teacher of two students. That's fine. The god dove is loyal to the Lord. You three don't need to blame it, and you can't add compliments, lest others follow suit. I should go too, and there is no need to invite guests in. This person must not be seen, and you all follow me to the cave. Let's go." After speaking, he took the futon treasure from the holy lady and stood up. Everyone didn't talk about it, thinking that the person who came must be a famous person among the teachers and elders.When I went to the front cave to see, Shenjiu had already stopped whistling and greeted each other.The person who came was a thick, short, inconspicuous boy with a big head, wearing a yellow Ge shirt, standing respectfully inside the middle cave gate.Because the forbidden law has been stopped by Yi Jing, there is no magic power, and no one knows him.As soon as the young man saw Li Ning, he went forward to worship and stood up, then raised his hand to Yi Jing and others in salute, calling him junior sister.During the ceremony, Gu Gu suddenly remembered the appearance of this person, and it was exactly what Miao Gu said in the past that he was advanced in his school. Without waiting for greetings, he smiled first: "This is probably Senior Brother Shentu, right? We haven't seen him before. Yu has good eyesight and can still recognize. Uncle said it was urgent and ordered us not to delay the trip. I want to visit the deserted house, so I might as well wait until some other day, and just sit in the compartment for a while, so I can learn from it, is it okay?" Everyone gathered together. Hearing that it was Shen Tuhong, the elder brother of our sect, I was so happy.Yingqiong also took Li Ning's hand, and said directly: "Father, my daughters and senior sisters all want to hear Senior Brother Shentu's account of what happened here in detail, and Daddy only leaves a few hours for us to finish listening, how about leaving?" Li Ning smiled slightly After a moment of silence, he said with a smile, "You are really my demon. Fortunately, this woman should have had these years of calamity, and the ending is something that is beneficial to her, and she can't be saved if she goes early. Although the Zen scriptures are a little bit worrying, the blood god son has already been executed. , the three monsters in Chiyou's tomb were injured by the ancient god Jiu, and the upper part was taken away by this woman, and the Buddhist law was sealed in her hands. In addition, even if the auxiliary book was temporarily peeped by others, none of them could be solved, and it would take many days of evil methods , can’t take it away. It’s up to you.” Shen Tuhong had already met with everyone, bowed and said: "Uncle Shi sees it very well, Master Zhu and Uncle Yi also said the same thing. This disciple just wants to finish his master's order early and get the Dragon Ball early. Junior sister Li is very filial and considerate, so my uncle seems to be able to stay for a while. Even my disciples have heard for a long time that all the junior sisters here are very blessed. Although it is the first time I have seen it, I have already tested it. I am very willing to take this opportunity to learn, and thank you for entering without telling me. What about guilt?" Li Ning nodded with a smile.Accompanied by Yi Jing, he sat down in another room and asked about the purpose of his visit. It turned out that Shen Tuhong and Ruan Zheng had been under the sect of Master Miaoyi in their previous lives, but later because they accidentally killed two male and female Sanxians, they committed the crime of reckless killing in their sect, and were expelled from the sect for 81 years.The two left the teacher's school for two consecutive lives, and suffered all kinds of hardships and dangers.Relying on being a good person and being able to have many comrades, when he was expelled, Zhuge policeman and I were of the same family, begging for two days and nights on behalf of the two of them, but they did not chase away all the magic weapons and flying swords.Sister Qi Lingyun was grateful for the friendship and life-saving grace of their lives. One betrayed her parents and divided her only three elixir into two, and gave them to each other under the false order of her master; The two guardians of the Dharma changed their kalpas twice.The mana in the previous life is all there, and he always thinks about the teacher's school, is sincere to the Tao, and vows to reduce sins and atone for sins within 81 years of three lives, in order to return to the teacher's school and return to the righteous fruit.In the end, they will overcome all difficulties with sincerity and perseverance.Ruan Zheng's situation in the middle is extremely difficult and dangerous. He was born with a unique personality and loved his previous life's appearance. plead.Shen Tuhong and He Pingzi in the previous life of the Laughing Monk have the same temperament, the most humorous and easy-going, and the most witty.On weekdays, I bitterly recalled the teacher's family, and when I arrived at the Kaifu in Emei, I yearned for it even more.Counting that there are still two years left in the time limit, thinking that the grievances have been eliminated, or that they can be forgiven, they return to the teacher's school ahead of time, and take advantage of Yixiu, Han Xianzi and Tianchi Master Bai Xitan to fight, begging Yixiu to intercede .The god camel Yixiu wanted to support the underachievers, so he wrote a letter for him.Shen Tuhong held the letter and rushed to the Emei Immortal Mansion, and was talking to A-Tong, asking him to intercede with the teacher on his behalf.Suddenly, I saw the drunken Taoist uncle of our sect fly up, and handed over a letter from Miaoyi Daoist, ordering him to find a place to refine the Dharma within two years, and then act accordingly, and gave some instructions before walking away .Shen Tuhong must finish the matter before he can return to the teacher's school.Shentu Hong originally followed what Master said, and there was no change in it. It was useless to ask for it before the time limit expired.On the one hand, he yearns for the master's family too much, and at the same time wants to open the house, and tries the master's mind by asking for favor.He knew that what his teacher ordered to do was related to the success or failure of himself and his close friend Ruan Zheng, but he didn't want Ruan Zheng to do it together, so he only allowed to inform in advance, and he still did it by himself.Things are so difficult and dangerous, wouldn't it be even more difficult without a most powerful assistant?Surprises were mixed at the time. After sending Taoist Zui away, he thought carefully again: "I have suffered in two lifetimes, and how hard it is to cultivate. My mentor knows everything, and I will never try again with difficult problems. Now that the invitation card has not yet come to the opening date, Uncle Zui only passes on Master's order: Order me to go to Pingliang, Gansu Province within two years near Xikongtong, pretend to be an ordinary scholar, live in a private house, and wait for a woman surnamed Hua to arrive. That is a Sanxian from overseas, the registered disciple of Master Fentuo who was expelled from the gate wall in the past From the day they meet, they must help each other secretly at any time. If they are found out, they will tell them clearly that they are an abandoned disciple of the Emei sect. You can return to the teacher's door. But what you are looking for is different from her, and it has nothing to do with each other. If you are forgiven, if you are together, after success, you will not only not want what she is looking for, but you can also help her , any difficult thing can be done. The flower girl is extremely difficult to provoke because of the two old monsters of the sky and the lack of land in Xikongtong. The apprentices are also all weird. They only take pleasure in teasing monks. First-rate, very strong mana. The old monster protects his apprentices. Except for the two people he knows, no matter whether people from different factions, good or evil, come here, within ten miles of Wuya Cave where he lives, they will never let them go lightly. Even if they pass by unintentionally, by mistake Entering the forbidden area, besides confessing to his apprentice, he must bully him endlessly. For those who were angry, or refused to accept and wanted to take revenge, over the past three hundred years, I don’t know how many people were buried in the hands of his apprentice. Entered by mistake Even if the forbidden land is an enemy, how can he allow someone to take away the rare and incomparably precious treasure under his armpit? The place where the two sides go is Zhuling Gorge. Although it is not within ten miles of the limit, his master and apprentice live in seclusion This mountain has been around for hundreds of years, how conceited you are on a daily basis, you don't even know that there are such precious treasures hidden nearby, and you will only be alert when someone comes to take them, it is already embarrassing; if you want to be taken away by others, it would be a great shame There is also the Kongtong faction. Although it has declined in recent decades, some remnants are practicing hard training under the Wulong Cliff on the east side of the mountain. Seeing that they look down on them, they have colluded with the disciples of the old monster. They often seduce the monsters with temptresses from his own sect, and have sex in his cave. Xia is in the midst of these two rivalries, both left and right are enemies, and they are all powerful. The old monster has a eccentric temperament, arrogant and arrogant, and it has become worse in recent years. If he is discovered, he can also use his weird temper to try to provoke him, making him embarrassed to take action , but those monsters and old monsters of the Kongtong School are difficult to deal with. They must be extremely careful and quick in action. Huanu had a capable companion, surnamed Lu, who was also an overseas Sanxian. The two even got along well. Forgotten acquaintances, we could have come to help each other, but before my birthday, my teacher went to Xiuning Island to attend the Fairy Festival, Feishu recalled him, and ordered him to guard the cave and guard the alchemy furnace, so he couldn't leave in a hurry. The matter has been kept secret for more than ten years, and no one has known about it. Recently, it was discovered suddenly, although it has not been spread widely, and there are several cases of people coveting it. There are two Yunnan monks who are the most powerful. Although they suffer from evil methods, they are not authentic Buddhists. , I was so anxious that I was unable to open the spiritual stone cave hidden in the deep mountain stream. Now I go back to practice a kind of powerful vajra with phase gods and demons, and I am ready to make it.The whole piece of rock is removed, from top to bottom, without entering through the cave.The rest of the monsters are also preparing to attack the cave to get the treasure.The matter was urgent, and in order to be the first to get ahead, Hua Nu had no choice but to take risks and come here relying on her confidence that she could open a hole and enter under the disciple of the god Nefertuo for many years.On the way, Ben also met two junior sisters from the same school.I'm only proud of the flower girl, because I felt that it was inconvenient to talk about it when I first met, and I was a little selfish, so I hesitated a little at the time, so I missed it.After breaking up, thinking of regrets, I can no longer find anyone.Zhengjue is difficult to be independent, and is worrying, when he hears that he is a member of the Emei sect and doesn't want what she takes, he must be happy, so the two unite.At that time, the Cambodian post can be opened, but before the second half of the text is blank, the flower girl can't wait long, so she must go to have a try. If she is not persuaded, she can let her go.Huanu is bound to be in danger, but she has to help her secretly, which makes her very convinced.Wait until the blanks on the third page appear one after another, indicating the opportunity, and then go together.At this time, due to the incompatibility of the flower girl, several inquiries have aroused the vigilance of the enemy, and the crisis is already on the horizon. Once they succeed, the enemy will definitely come.Afterwards, the monks will also have faith and chase after them.You can act according to the Cambodian post. " "Although I didn't say clearly what I was taking, my mentor was never greedy. What's more, after the opening of the mansion, all the magic weapons and flying swords left by my ancestors in the past appeared, and recently I got the treasures hidden in the magic wave pool. The disciples met each other by their celestial karma. , all the gains are ancient rare treasures, sacred objects and sharp weapons, why do you care about this? He also ordered me to go alone, even Ruan Zheng did not order me to go. I remember that in the past, my teacher once said that I was a different kind of robbery. Sincerity, the evil roots of the most previous life, there are still some needs that have not been exhausted, so there is the incident of killing Sanxian and his wife by mistake. This time when they were expelled from the door, many teachers and fellow students pleaded for mercy, and all the teachers refused. Tolerance, in fact, is because I was cultivated by a different kind, and I was eager to reincarnate as a human being when I was in the catastrophe. An abnormality occurred, even though he escaped three thunder disasters because of this, the evil root is still there, and because of repeated practice, the skill is getting higher and higher, and the evil root is also getting stronger, if you don't try to get rid of it, not only the immortal karma is hard to look forward to, but you don't know when it will happen Arouse, make a big mistake, and end up falling into the way of animals. Although the mentor can be a planner, it takes a lot of time to practice the method, and it takes a lot of elixir. In addition, there is only a kind of talisman seal in the Buddhist school, which can be effective at the time. This heart has no time to hold it. It just happened that the manslaughter of Sanxian and his wife happened. Perhaps through this training, the jade has been completed, and there will be a day when the evil will be returned. Words that can turn misfortune into blessing.” The more I think about it, the more I feel that this trip must be related to this matter.It is also concluded that although the matter is difficult and dangerous, there is no reason why the mentor has ordered him to go.I can't help being courageous and very happy.Looking forward to the teacher's kindness, I was grateful, and I was looking at the palace wall, so attached to it, I left reluctantly, and lingered for a while.There is still a lot of time to calculate this trip, so there is no need to rush.I and Ruan Zheng have many magic weapons in previous lives, because of their important relationship, there are many evil people coveting them, fearing that they will be lost in the future, and they are in the hands of the teacher.Even after two lifetimes, in order to show his sincerity to the Tao, he tried his best to fulfill the oath of being expelled from time to time. The 81-year period of three lives has not yet expired, and the karma of injustice has not been eliminated. return.I have been ordered by my teacher today, so I could ask for it.Just because I was ordered by kindness for the first time, I was overjoyed, and because my teacher knew everything in advance, if those few magic weapons were not necessary for this trip, I would have to hand them back to my uncle drunk;Later, when I thought of the great teachers and apprentices of the two old monsters in Xikongtong, and the remnants of the Kongtong faction, I felt that the accident was too difficult and dangerous, and the uncle Zui had left, so I had no choice but to let it go. At this moment, the more he thought about it, the more difficult it became, even though he still had two flying swords and magic weapons left, it would definitely be difficult to deal with those powerful enemies.The moment of success or failure is no small matter.After 80 years of suffering, what should I do if my success falls short, and I lose the life of my teacher, and mistake myself and others?After thinking about it, Ruan Zheng had a good relationship with Xia'er's younger sister in the past. When Ruan Zheng was expelled for a foul and bid farewell to his teacher and went down the mountain, Xia'er repeatedly pleaded with his teacher's wife and named him Tianxuan Shensha. Also known as a treasure of Tianhe Xingsha, he is allowed to carry it with him.The teacher's wife also used the highest Taoist magic power for 13 days to refine for him in Suoyun Cave, Mount Jiuhua, and refined a gourd of immeasurable god sand into seven sets of forty-nine pills, which gave birth to the miraculous effect of son and mother.The teacher left two pills for each set, just in case when Ruan Zheng turned to Jiebing, Shensha fell into the hands of a monster from a different sect. If the person in the sand does not die, he will be seriously injured.During the practice, the two younger sisters Yun and Xia will protect the Dharma.During this thirteen days, the demons from all factions looked at the Qi of the two Qiangangs, and the treasures made by refining with Tianhe Xingsha and Taibai Jingjin.Although Xia'er held the Buddhist treasure talisman bestowed by the god Ni Youtan to guard against it, she was not invaded by evil spirits, and caused a lot of trouble for the teacher's wife.But this treasure has increased a lot of power.Before Ruan Zheng took the lead in the first life, he happened to meet the real person of Ji Le, and he was merciful. He passed on the Taoist method of refining treasures. After three years of refining in Lingyan Mountain, Guanxian County, Sichuan Province, he managed to combine this treasure with his soul. And for one.Ruan Zheng passed it on to himself again, so these two self-defense swords are in harmony with the body and spirit, and now they are reincarnated, avoiding many harms, and now they are even more powerful.Anyway, I'm going to find him, why not borrow it? As soon as he changed his mind, he first flew to Haixindian, Yunnan, where Ruan Zheng lived in seclusion in recent years.In the last talk, Ruan Zhengqia also went to the Kongque River to seek the holy spring, compounded the panacea, and healed the strange leprosy-like disease for the natives. On the way, he met the Qinghai sect patriarch Zang Lingzi and Xiong Xiong who had returned from the meeting in Emei. Xue'er, master and apprentice.In the past, Ruan Zheng thought Zang Lingzi's master and apprentice were arrogant, and Xue'er tried to persuade him several times to take Ruan Zheng as his apprentice, but he refused, and his words gradually became rude.Just like in previous years, the two sides have already fought; just because they are in adversity and danger, they don't want to make a strong enemy again.Fortunately, there is a heavenly cicada and a spiritual leaf, which is invisible and flies away with great speed, and he still thanked him politely, saying that he is very kind to his teacher, and he does not want to betray him even after a hundred deaths.Cang Lingzi saw that he was resolute in his actions, and he also praised him very much, so he stopped forcing him.Ruan Zheng also avoided seeing each other for many years.Suddenly meeting each other unintentionally, the other party first opened his mouth to call out, and this time he came to take his most precious holy spring, and it was inconvenient to avoid it, so we had to meet calmly and courteously.The original intention is that the other party needs to say a few words, and Shengquan will also be stingy.Unexpectedly, the temper of his master and apprentice changed drastically, as soon as he opened his mouth, he praised the master and apprentice of the Emei School to an unprecedented degree.Xue'er took out a letter written by Yun and Xia from his bosom, to the effect that: Three days before the opening of the mansion, I heard from my mother, Mrs. Miaoyi, that Ruan Zheng and Shen Tuhong's faces were red with blood. It has disappeared, the grievances have been resolved, and he will be able to return to the division soon.And two days after the opening of the mansion, Shen Tuhong was ordered by his teacher to deal with Kongtong.Because my mother didn't mention Ruan Zheng, she was busy with the opening of the house, so she didn't dare to ask more questions.In addition, I have never met in the past years of searching, and I still don't know where to retreat, and I am often in suspense.Later, Wei Qingqing was invited to replace Tuo Naifu Yisheng, who used congenital Yishu to account for his whereabouts in recent years, and traveled among the Qinghai-Tibet Fan tribes to avoid disasters. There are adventures in two years.Shen Tuhong will also go to look for him at this time.Although the two have suffered many times and are close friends, they each have important missions on this trip, and it is best to take care of each other. After the mission is completed, they can share the ready-made benefits of each other.Otherwise, Shen Tuhong has nothing to do, but Ruan Zheng will suffer more hardships. He also mentioned that both master and apprentice of Zang Lingzi knew Ruan Zheng.The Qi sisters were mixed with sorrow and joy when they heard the words, and knowing that Zhuge Police and Xue'er had a good relationship, they wrote a letter, asking him to secretly entrust Xue'er to take him away when seeing off the guests. Xue'er is an honest person, and he is afraid that he will not be able to bring the letter to him if he has not seen him for many years.Unexpectedly, just before arriving at the river, they had already met.信未开视，霞儿又用过佛法禁制，连藏灵子也不知信中所言何事，还以为峨眉派法力真高，门人也是如此，甚是佩服。又说起双方由此一会，成了至交。阮征心细，并未当时拆看。见藏灵子师徒辞色迥异往年，既与恩师订交，便是师执，重新礼拜，甚是恭敬。藏灵子越加奖勉，讨水更是一说即允，并说此后一家，以后须用，随时往取，不必通知。谢别回山，看信得知前事。知道函中所写虽是实情，但云、霞两世妹对于自己格外关心，又知申屠宏玄功法力略高，所用法宝却差得多，此行定必艰险。惊喜之余，正要寻他探询详情，申屠宏恰巧赶到。 二人几世同门，三生患难，情胜骨肉。平日虽奉师命，但各行其道，无故不许相见。二人劫后余生，情谊更厚，又极灵巧机智，别的全遵师命，独此一节，不肯完全顺从。又看出师父别有用心，于是两人八十年中，老是千方百计，甘冒危难以求一面。又在背后向师默祝，求恩宽宥，许其平日各自修为，一旦有事，不论事之大小，均可相见，只不在一起。庶几于遵奉恩命之余，仍寓恩宽之意。不过二人均极虔谨，接连祝告几次，并无回音。虽知已蒙默许，并未由此玩忽，视为故常，反倒格外谨慎，尽管想尽方法，无故仍不相见。现得喜信，大难将完，以前罪孽俱已消免，互相喜庆之际，愈发无话不谈。阮征一听要借法宝，立将左手两枚铁指环分了一个递过。申屠宏忽然想起云、霞二女函中之意，分明借宝于阮征有害，执意不收。 阮征道：“大哥，你是何意？此宝自经师母与李师叔两次传授之后，我将其化为两枚铁环，不特运用由心，威力更大，并与心神相合，无论相隔万里，我如法施为，立可收回。固然此宝母砂现为师母保存，再分一半与大哥，用起来要差一点，但我尚有别的法宝，便飞剑本质也比你好，更有天府神箭也在身旁。你我下山时，同是两宝一剑，你的却差得多。崆峒老怪师徒何等厉害，如非醉师叔传有师命，拼多受苦，也必同往相助。师命固不敢违，但并未提起不准借宝，又特指明寻我通知。到时，我如真个非此不可，举手即可收回，易如探囊取物，有何妨害？世妹来书，只听外人易理推算之言，非出师命。如其有害无益，醉师叔早说了。你如不带走，我只好到时拼却回山受责，暗中赶去了。”申屠宏最爱阮征，知他为人刚毅，又极天真好义，虽然末两句有心要挟，并不一定敢违师命，但他言出必行，永无更改，实无法相强，所说也极有理。以为此宝收回甚易，话已出口，只得再三叮嘱，如其需用，千万收回，不可为此减却威力，因而误事。阮征含笑应了。这一次见面，为二人八十来年苦盼最喜慰之日。 阮征因在当地隐迹行道，救过不少番人，青藏番族奉之如神。他又苦修辟谷，除却有时命富人舍钱济贫而外，本身不受一丝一粟之赠。这日因是特别高兴，加以不久便要离去，特地向附近的一个酋长要了当地名产花果酒和一条羊肩，与申屠宏寻一风景佳处，聚木点火，烤肉饮酒。又知申屠宏此去崆峒，前半还要隐迹人间，身边无钱，如何能行？师门法严，最忌贪妄，虽有一身法术，不能使用，便取了一袋金沙相赠。申屠宏比较拘谨，先见他约同饮酒食肉，因喜兄弟重逢，偶然吃一次烟火之食，不在禁条之列，不愿拦他高兴。及见取出金沙，修道之士留此人间财物作甚？老大不以为然，面色微变。方欲开口劝说，阮征已先笑道：“大哥，你当我犯贪戒了么？先我不知云南到处埋有黄金，为了济贫一事，这些年来，煞费心力。你我弟兄，哪有金银与人？要人出钱济贫，须出他的心愿，不能动强，更不能行法搬运。只有遇见机会，劝说一些受我帮助的富酋，捐点钱财，分散穷苦。近三年来，青藏一带番人大都对我信服，还好一点，以前真是极难。我又不喜与人开口，劝人出钱，头一次都很勉强，二次直没法和人说。所以在此二十年中，仗着法宝、飞剑与前习道法，甚事都好办，只一须钱，我便发急。有一次，黄河决口，水势被我行法止住，遇上两个老对头，都被我一人打跑。只那将近三万无衣无食的灾民，我却一筹莫展。总算那些人不该死，当灾民嗷嗷待哺之际，忽由上流漂来一大块木板，上坐父子三人，并还堆有两口箱子。这时水虽归槽，水势仍是浩大。我正想将此三人救上，不料河心蹿出一条水桶般粗的带角恶蛟，张着大口，竟想朝那三人吞去。百忙中我看出那三口箱子满装金银珠宝，知那恶蛟便是此次发水罪魁，先被飞剑吓跑，水也被我压平。那蛟本来潜伏水底，心怀不正。恰巧我行法不久，便遇前生仇敌，追出老远，刚刚回来。它见半晌没有动静，出水探看，望见对面漂来三人，当是就口之食。我见此情形，忽生急智，先不下手斩蛟，只用禁法将两下里隔断，不使伤人，同时断了蛟的退路。然后现身下飞，当着那三人，连用飞剑、雷火，将蛟杀死。初意不过故示神奇，想他捐点银子，暂救目前，再行设法，富人多半吝啬，未必便肯多出。谁知那三人竟是宁夏首富，没等我开口，把三箱金珠全数济贫不说，并还力任全局。只是一件，认定我是神仙，他还有不少眷口，均被大水冲散，要我救回。这事比除妖还难，万一那些眷口已葬身蛟口，如何救法？迫于无奈，只好用活动点的话，答应代他寻找。出事在日落以前，我由左近飞过，发现此事立即下手，当时将水制住，伤人甚少。这时已是第二日天亮。我知下游不会有人，便往上游寻去。天佑善人，事情真巧，他那一家并未冲入河里，聚在一个高坡之上，正受一群饿狼围困。吃我救出，由百里外送往河边团聚。老的一个和官府有情面，正在商议赈灾之事。我送人时，不曾现身。见他说得甚有条理，用我不着，方始暗中飞走。似此大举施财虽少，类此之事甚多。有时打算救人救彻，便须用钱。由此方知神仙行道，也非钱不行，才留了心。近年人心信仰，肯出钱的人已多，正觉以后不致为难。前日忽然发现黄河上游和玉树深山之中金银甚多，河里金沙尤为方便，略为行法禁制，又得不少。昨日想今日起身寻大哥去，带了此物，可以随时济穷，特意取了几斤来，炼成小块，你便来到。大哥到平凉去，固用不许多。以此济贫，省得到时为难，不也好么？ " 申屠宏在外行道，也常感到无钱之苦。又见阮征神仪内莹，心光湛然，道力益加精进，所说也系实情。师命寻一民家寄居，又令先寻阮征，必也为此，便接了过来收起。阮征因为日尚早，难得有此快聚；申屠宏也以为反正在当地一样炼法，也不舍就走，于是一同盘桓了好几个月。 这日阮征往医山民重伤，归途接到大方真人神驼乙休和青螺峪怪叫花凌浑联名的飞剑传书。看完，惊喜交集，回去便请申屠宏先行。申屠宏问来书所说何事？阮征笑答：“乙、凌二位师伯叔不令告人。我也就走。大约还有两年，便与蝉弟和几个未见面的同门一起，我还忝作为首之人。此时暂由蝉弟率领，在外行道。我不是和你说过，恩师所说早已算定，不满八十一年限期，休想重返师门？不过，这两三年关系重大，我弟兄真不可丝毫大意呢。” 申屠宏不知阮征此次为友心热，甘冒危难，不说真情，另有原因。此后相见日长，无须恋恋，互道珍重，便自分手。又在当地待了年余，法已炼成，才往西崆峒飞去。为防被妖人和老怪师徒警觉，仗着师门心法，极易韬光，不到平凉府，便已降落。觅一大镇，换点金沙。装作一个落魄文人，雇了一辆大车，往平凉府去。次日到了城西，先托游山，在山麓寻一民家住下。后又借口在此教馆，租了两间空房。不久便收了几个村童，教起馆来。申屠宏几生修为，除犯规被逐，这两世八十年均在妙一真人门下，法力甚高，所租民房又正当入山孔道。以他法力，本来不用出门，只在室内稍为行法布置，三数十里以内，人物往来，均可查知。只为故意要在人前走动，使妖党常见不疑；又想乘机救助苦人，行点好事，一放晚学，必出闲步。遇上好天气，还特意带上一根寻常铁棍，同了两个年长一点的村童，假装游山，前往山中窥探虚实和那藏宝之处的形势。连去几次，中间也曾两遇怪徒和崆峒门下妖人。一则申屠宏装得极像，相貌穿着均极平庸；二则身带法宝、飞剑，均经转劫以前妙一夫人所传本门太清潜形灵符加了禁制。休说所遇诸邪，便天残、地缺两老怪物那高法力，如不事前得信，仔细观察，也看不出来。加上随行村童掩饰，一点也未被人看破。而这两起对头，一起是老怪物有命，照例不许捉弄凡人；一起是正当背晦时光，来人只是山中闲游，除手持铁棍，看去有点蛮力胆大，不畏虎狼而外，别无异处，既未犯他忌讳，也就不以为意。申屠宏却是每去一次均有用意，又是内行，见那藏宝的珠灵峡绝涧，相隔两老怪所居老巢乌牙洞禁地尚远，离五龙岩却是近得只有三四里。 这地方虽名为峡，实则只是一片峭壁危崖，下面临着一条宽约二三丈的涧壑。因那崖壁上有好几处大小喷泉齐坠涧中，水气溟濛，也看不出涧有多深。由对面向壁遥观，只见碧障排云，珠帘倒卷，玉龙飞舞，灵雨飘空。因为常有泉瀑飞洒，烟雨蒙蒙，通体青苔鲜肥，草木华滋，郁郁森森，山容一碧，乍看风景，倒也雄丽非常。再细查看，除却对崖那短短一片好地方外，不特山容丑恶，寸草不生，并且石质粗硕，宛如利齿密布，乱石森列，崎岖难行。偏又不具一点形势，与对崖迥不相称，心已生疑。末次去时，四顾无人，隐形飞往对面崖顶一看，更是奇怪。原来崖对面乃是一条狭长山岭，由五龙岩东面高高下下蜿蜒而来。全岭皆石，草木甚稀，与涧这面荒寒情景，差不许多。到了近崖，约有十丈长，二三十丈宽一段，方始生满苔草。山势由高降下，成一斜坡，降约十余丈，重又由下而上，与崖相接。因岭比崖高，左右乱石杂沓，景物寒陋。不是事前有人指点，决想不到岭尽头崖下藏有奇景，端的隐秘已极。尤可异者，上次来时，崖壁飞瀑珠泉有好几处飞舞喷射，这次往探，除却碧苔绿草，苍翠欲流，泉瀑俱都未见喷出，好似偶然遇上，并不常有。越看越觉当地形势隐僻非常，好些妙造自然。如非预有成算的人，不特到了近侧都易错过，也决不会走到这一带来。心中一动，猛触灵机，走往灵崖相接之处，细看两面石色，再把苔草拔起了些一看，立时省悟。忽闻破空之声，一道碧光正往五龙岩那一面飞去，知有妖党中能手到来。虽然所带村童已经安置在离此十里的松林内采掘茯苓，不曾带来。因防妖人警觉，未加戒备。春夏之交，山中蛇虎常有出没，既恐有失，又防妖人路过向村童盘问，仍用天蝉叶隐身赶回。 申屠宏因教书只为隐迹，村童根骨都凡庸，虽非正式收徒，毕竟师徒一场，也是前缘。本想边地穷苦，随时加以暗中周济，并无他念。偏巧内中一个名叫马龙娃的，根骨禀赋虽也平常，人极聪明，奉事寡母，尤有孝心。没有多日，申屠宏便看出他至性过人，孝母敬师，又极好学向上，渐渐生了好感，只惜资质不够。除暗中多加资助外，因他聪明守口，奉命惟谨，每次出门，必带同行，并还秘嘱，遇上异人异事，如何应答留意。在申屠宏，原因考验龙娃，明暗几次，从未错过。心想多一凡人为助，有时也许得用。哪知龙娃孝行格天，福至心灵，渐渐看出师父不是常人，随时都在留意。而申屠宏又是日久情厚，自然欣喜。加以花女就这日内要来，事应数日之内，关系重大，心有专注。对于这一个平日怜爱、永无过失的徒弟，无形中少却好些掩饰顾忌，于是又被多看出两分异状。当申屠宏由珠灵崖飞回时，见随来的另一个村童正在收拾已掘好的茯苓，龙娃却在正对自己来路的高坡上向前眺望，似有甚事神气。飞向他身后丈许，再行现身过去，悄问：“你一人在此，看些什么？”龙娃低声悄答：“老师来时，可曾见有一个怪女子么？”申屠宏疑是花女已来，无心错过，不禁大惊，忙答：“回去再说。”随催起身。 到了路上，设词命另一村童先自回家，暗中行法，带了龙娃到家细问。答说：“先想多得茯苓讨好，走向对面土坡老松之下。正要掘取，忽见路侧危崖后绿光一亮，心中奇怪。正要往看，忽见一个装束华丽、身材瘦小、背插双剑的女子，由崖角走出。跟着，便听一男子口音，在后急喊，要那女子回去。女子忽然回手一扬，便有一道绿光，朝原来处飞去，口说'还你'二字。男的说了两句，没有听清。女的也转怒为喜，跟踪走回。这里人，全没那样画儿上的打扮。我怕是娘平日说的妖怪，没敢出声。过去等了好一会儿，试探着走往崖后一看，男女二人全未见到。只崖壁下面有一封信，和那日放学后老师由身上取出来看的差不多，也是黄麻布所做。我想一定是那女子丢的，想拿，怕寻来看出我，不得了。又想带回与老师看，忙把它塞向土坡上山石缝里，仍回原处，装不知道，暗中留神，看是如何。待了不多一会儿，女的忽然急慌慌寻来。先在原处看了看，末了寻到坡上，问我可见甚人走过，和见地上有什么东西没有。还给我一块银子，要我实说。我早看出她两眼太凶，不是妖怪，也非好人。知她先前未见我，便和她装呆说：'我是采茯苓的，你看我才掘起两块，刚来一会儿。只上坡时，见一穿黄麻布的乡人走过，未见他捡甚东西。'女子一听，好似又气又急。我正疑心怕她害我，不料她只恶狠狠自言自语道：'如是小怪物拿去怎好？'我还装呆问她：'哪里有小怪物？'她怒骂了句小狗，一片绿光一闪，便不见了，吓了我一跳。再看天上，绿光正往上次老师去的那一带飞落下去。我料她去远，忙把那信取出揣好，正怕她万一回来搜我身上，老师就回来了。”随说，随将所拾黄麻柬帖取出。 申屠宏早已听出此女不是所候姓花少女，再接过柬帖内外一看，越发心喜，着实夸奖了两句。龙娃先是怔怔地听着，忽然跪下说道：“老师你肯要我么？”申屠宏道：“你本是我学生，何出此言？”龙娃流泪道：“娘和我早看出老师不是常人，也不会久在这里。必是山里有甚事要办，等事一完，就要走了。我背后留心也不是一天了，也未对人说过。近日我见老师到山里去得越勤，有时借故走开，只一转身，人便不见，才知带我们同去是为遮掩外人耳目，前日老师到了山里，又是一闪不见，我特意藏在崖后偷看。老师回时，竟自空中飞落，分明是神仙无疑。回去和娘谈了半夜，算计老师不久必走。本来我舍不得老师，也舍不得娘。可娘和我说，我祖父原是大官，为奸臣所害，流寓到此。我娘也是大家小姐，因祖父和爹爹不久病死，我才两岁，我娘受了无数的罪，才把我养大。本来代人放牛，如不遇老师，上月一场病，早已死去。如今病蒙老师医好，又给了那么多银子。不久，便照老师所说，逐渐添买田地，足可温饱一生。并且日前哥哥也由兰州回来，他做水烟生意，一有本钱，就可经商养娘，家事也不愁没人照管。娘再三劝说，必是多年苦求神佛默佑，才得遇到老师，命我无论如何也要求老师把我带走。为防真人不露相，连对我哥哥均不说实话，只说时常周济，但不喜见生人，不令他来。我想我年纪才十三岁，我娘已老，身子又弱，我不知还隔多少年才能养她，我又什么也不会，想起就愁急。好容易遇到老师恩怜，恰巧出门九年的哥哥又学好生意回家。我也不想
