Li Bai's ancient style is about the story of Hou Ying and Zhu Hai, the guests of the Xinling Monarch in the State of Wei during the Warring States Period. After reading it for thousands of years, the heroic spirit is as powerful as a tiger and a tiger.The city of Daliang was adjacent to the Yellow River, later called Bianliang, which is now Kaifeng, Henan.Although the place is counted as a capital city, its folk customs are simple and simple, and the heroic spirit of the ancient tragic songs has not been wiped out in later generations. Twelve miles from the east gate of Kaifeng, there is a small town called Houjianji.The town got its name from Hou Ying.Back then Hou Ying was the prisoner of Yimen in Daliang.There is a mountain in the east of Daliang City, which is flat and flat, called Yishan, and the east gate is called Yimen.The Yimen Supervisor is the guard of the East Gate of Daliang.

It was already evening on this day, and the villagers who came to the market from all over the place were carrying their own burdens and carrying baskets, returning one after another, when suddenly there was a faint sound of horseshoes on the northeast corner.The sound of hooves was approaching, it turned out to be a large group of people, at least two hundred riders, the sound of hooves galloped, and the riders galloped.Everyone looked at each other and said: "Mostly the officers and soldiers have arrived." Some said: "Get out of the way, the officers and soldiers rushed over and kicked over the load, that's all, they trampled you to death, and you deserve it."

There were bursts of whistling mixed with the sound of hoofbeats.After a while, Hu whistle echoed eastward and westward, south to north, and there were whistles in all directions, which seemed to surround the Hou Jian group.Everyone turned pale in shock, and some people with more experience couldn't help muttering in their hearts: "Could Zhe be a bandit?" A clerk in the grocery store in the town stuck out his tongue and said, "Ah, I'm afraid it's my mother, those old buddies are here!" Shopkeeper Wang's face was already pale, and he raised a fat hand that couldn't help shaking, Pretending to slap the guy on the top of the head, he shouted: "Your grandma, you don't want to make a profit by talking, what kind of big brother and little brother. When the big men on the real line come, how can you... your little life!" ? Besides, I have never heard of anyone doing such a thing in broad daylight! Ah, this... this is a bit evil..."

In the middle of his speech, although he opened his mouth, he didn't make a sound. He saw four or five healthy horses rushing towards him from the east of the market.The riders on the horse were dressed in black, wearing Fanyang bamboo hats, each holding a gleaming steel knife in his hand, and shouted: "Fellow townspeople, everyone stand in place and move a little bit, don't blame the knife for not having eyes." He scolded and patted his horse and galloped westward.The horseshoe slapped on the bluestone slab, making a loud clang, which made people jump in fear. The sound of hoofbeats didn't stop, another seven or eight horses rushed towards the west wing, and the riders on the horses were also dressed in black, wearing bamboo hats with the brim of their hats pulled down low.These people generally scolded: "Be obedient and don't move, it's okay, those who like to eat noodles will come out!"

The clerk at the grocery store laughed, and said, "What's the taste of the noodles..." The man was tongue-in-cheek, and wanted to make a joke, but he didn't know what to say. Immediately, a big man swung his horsewhip and threw it in. The counter hooked the guy's neck, and with a bang, he fell heavily onto the street.The big man's mount galloped forward, dragging the guy along.A horse came up from behind, its front hooves were trampled, and the guy wailed, seeing that he was dead. Seeing that this group of people are so aggressive, how dare they move?Some wanted to go to the door panel, but at this moment, their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, but they were trembling all over, and they couldn't do it if they really wanted to stay still.

Five or six doors away from the grocery store, there is a sesame seed and fried dough stick shop. The hot oil in the oil pan is sizzling, and seven or eight fried dough sticks are placed on the wire rack.A grey-haired old man bent over, kneading flour into small balls, and pressing the small balls into round pieces, turning a blind eye to the thrilling tragedy in front of him.He sprinkled some chopped green onion on the noodle cake, folded it diagonally, pinched the sides, grabbed some sesame seeds in a yellow sand bowl, sprinkled it on the cake, picked it up with iron tongs, and put it in the oven.

At this time, the whistling all around stopped, the horses stopped walking, and there was no sound in the market of seven or eight hundred people. Even the crying children were suppressed by their parents to prevent them from making a sound.While everyone held their breath, they could only hear the sound of a person's leather boots clicking, clicking, clicking, coming from the west along the street. This person walked very slowly, and the sound of heavy footsteps was like stepping on everyone's heart.The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and at that time the sun was about to set, and a long figure was reflected on the street, slowly approaching with the sound of footsteps.Everyone on the street seemed to be stunned, only the old cake seller was still making his sesame seed cakes.The sound of leather boots came to a stop outside the biscuit shop, the man looked up and down at the old biscuit seller, and suddenly sneered three times.

The old cake seller slowly raised his head, only to see that the man in front of him was extremely tall, with a face as bumpy as an orange peel, full of pimples.The old cake seller said: "Master, do you want to buy cakes? It costs a penny each." Picking up iron tongs, he picked up a hot biscuit from the oven and put it on a white wooden board.The tall man sneered again, and said, "Bring it!" He stretched out his left hand.The old man squinted his eyes and said: "Yes!" He picked up the freshly baked biscuit and put it in his palm. The tall man raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Up to now, you are still entertaining the old man!" He threw the sesame seed cakes at the old man.The old baker slowly turned his head to one side, and the sesame seed cake brushed past his face and landed beside a mud ditch by the side of the road with a slap.

The tall man threw out the biscuits, and then withdrew a pair of double hooks from his waist. The heads of the hooks reflected the setting sun, and the blue print was chilling. Current affairs?" The old cake seller said: "You misunderstood the man, the old man's surname is Wang. The old cake seller Wang is recognized by everyone in Hou Jianji." The tall man sneered: "It's his grandma! We checked it out a long time ago. You disguised yourself and hid for a year or so, but you couldn't hide for a lifetime." The old cake seller squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "I have heard that the master of Jindao Village Anzhai robs the rich and helps the poor. When it is mentioned in the world, everyone raises their thumbs and says: 'Grand Thief!' , but you’ve made up your mind with the poor old man who sells sesame seed cakes?” He seemed to be speaking weakly, but he spoke these few words clearly.

The tall man shouted angrily: "Wu Daotong, are you determined not to hand it over?" The expression of the old cake seller changed slightly, the muscles on his left cheek twitched a few times, and then he said lazily again, "You are both Knowing Wu's name, he is still so rude to me, isn't he a little too bold?" The tall man scolded: "Your father is timid, you didn't know until today?" Left hook together, a move "Hands ready to grab", he quickly hooked Wu Daotong's left shoulder. Wu Daotong dodged to the right slightly, the tall steel hook fell through the air, his left wrist immediately hooked inward, the steel hook was dragged back, and it hit Wu Daotong's back heart.Wu Daotong dodged it with a short body, and kicked out with his right foot, but it landed on the burning charcoal oven.A furnace full of red coals flew towards the tall man abruptly, and at the same time, a wok of cooked oil for frying fried dough sticks also poured down on his head.

The tall man was taken aback, and jumped back in a hurry, avoiding the red charcoal, but he couldn't avoid the hot oil in the wok. With a sound of "Ah yo", the hot oil in the wok had already splashed on his legs, causing him to wow in pain. strange call. Wu Daotong climbed his feet, leaped into the sky, and reached the opposite roof, still holding the iron tongs for baking pancakes in his hand.Suddenly, a blue light flickered, a single knife slashed at the head, Wu Daotong raised the iron tongs to block it, and there was a sound, and the flames splashed everywhere.Although his iron tongs were black and inconspicuous, they were actually made of pure steel, and they actually blocked the single sword. At this moment, a short spear on the left and two swords on the right attacked at the same time.It turned out that the surrounding roofs were full of people.Wu Daotong snorted, and shouted: "How shameless, do you win with more?" With a long body, he held the iron tongs with both hands, the left guarded a short spear, and the right held a pair of knives, and the iron tongs were separated. Turned into a pair of judge pens.It turned out that his iron tongs for baking sesame seed cakes were made of a pair of judge pens. Wu Daotong uses both pens to open, recruiting people's acupoints, with one against three, he still has the upper hand.He shouted fiercely: "Here!" With an "ah" from the pistol, his left leg was hit by a pen, and he rolled down the eaves. Standing on the roof in the northwest corner was a short and thin old man, with his hands on his waist, watching the three of them fight coldly. In the flashing white light, Wu Daotong kicked the single-handed swordsman with his right foot, causing him to somersault and fall into the street.The timidity of the two sabers suddenly arises, the two sabers are like a snowflake, protecting in front of the body, only defending but not attacking. The short and thin old man walked over slowly, getting closer and closer, his right index finger suddenly poked out, and took Wu Daotong's left eye.This move was extremely quick, Wu Daotong hastily returned his pen and hit his finger.The old man's fingers were slightly crooked, avoiding the stylus, and poked his throat instead.Wu Daotong's handwriting was old and he couldn't change his moves, so he had to take a step back. The old man took a step forward, and stretched out his right hand again, pointing towards his lower abdomen.Wu Daotong reversed his right pen and hit the top of the enemy's head.The old man rushed forward, almost threw himself into Wu Daotong's arms, but with such a rush, he has already avoided him, at the same time, he stretched out both hands, grabbing his chest.Shocked, Wu Daotong quickly backed away, and with a sneer, he had already grabbed a long strip of clothes from his chest.Wu Daotong didn't have time to check if he was injured in his busy schedule, he closed his arms, turned the stylus upside down, and made a move of "embracing Liuhe", the handles of the two pens smashed into the temples on both sides of the old man. The old man didn't dodge or fight, and charged forward again, hitting the opponent's chest firmly with both palms.There was a cracking sound, and I don't know how many ribs were broken, Wu Daotong fell from the roof. The tall man's thighs were covered with hot oil, and he was already furious, but his legs were seriously injured, so he couldn't go up to the roof to fight the enemy desperately, and knowing that the short and thin old man Zhou Mu was arrogant and conceited, he had already shot , I don't like others to help, so I just look up at the neck and watch the two fight.Seeing Wu Daotong fall from the roof, the tall man was overjoyed and jumped forward, his double hooks fell down and pierced into Wu Daotong's stomach.He was so proud that he raised his head and let out a long laugh. Zhou Mu shouted anxiously: "Keep alive!" But finally he was a step too late, the double hooks had already entered his stomach. Suddenly the tall man yelled: "Ah..." He staggered back a few steps, and saw two stylus pens stuck in his chest, from his chest to his back, blood poured out from the four wounds, his body shook After a few shakes, he fell down.When Wu Daotong was about to die, he struck out with all his might, the tall man was caught off guard, and was stabbed to the vitals by two pens.The Jindao Village partner hastily stretched out his hand to help him up, but he was already exhausted. Zhou Mu ignored the tall man's life and death, with a contemptuous expression on the corner of his mouth, he grabbed Wu Daotong's body and saw that he had stopped breathing.He frowned slightly, and shouted: "Take off his clothes and search carefully." The four subordinates replied: "Yes!" They immediately stripped off Wu Daotong's clothes.I saw a package under the long coat on his back.The two men in black quickly opened the package, and saw that there was a package in the package, which was wrapped in layers of oilcloth. Every time a layer was opened, the joy on Zhou Mu's face became more joyful.A total of ten or so layers of oilcloth were untied, and the package became smaller and smaller. Zhou Mu's face gradually became depressed. Seeing that it had finally become a small package about three inches square and two inches thick, he immediately grabbed it with his hand, squeezed it, and was angry. Said: "His grandma's! It's a deceptive thing, don't read it! Go search in the house." More than ten black-clothed men entered the room in response.There were only two rooms at the front and back of the biscuit shop, and more than a dozen people crowded inside, ping-pong-ping, chattering, and the dishes, bed boards, tables, chairs, and clothes in the shop were thrown out one by one. Zhou Mu just said: "Search carefully, don't miss anything!" After a long time of commotion, it was so dark that it was difficult to see anything, all the men lit torches, and demolished the walls and stove of the sesame seed shop.With a loud clang, a clay vat fell into the middle of the street and fell into pieces. The flour in the vat was scattered all over the ground. In the twilight, a filthy little hand sneaked over from the corner of the street, grabbed the biscuits by the gutter, and slowly withdrew its hand. It was a beggar of twelve or thirteen years old.He had been hungry all day, and he sat weakly by the corner.The tall man took the biscuits from Wu Daotong and threw them beside the ditch, the little beggar's eyes never left the biscuits.He wanted to eat it long ago, but when he saw those vicious men on the street, he was so frightened that he dared not move at all.The dead body of the grocer lay beside the sesame seed.Later, the corpses of Wu Daotong and the tall man were also lying not far from the sesame seed cakes. Until it was dark and the light from the torch could not reach the side of the ditch, the little beggar finally plucked up his courage and grabbed the sesame seed cakes.He was so hungry that he didn't care that the bread was stained with stinky water and mud, so he took a bite and put it in his mouth, but he didn't dare to chew, for fear that the soft chewing sound would be heard by the men with swords in their hands.There was a piece of biscuit in his mouth, although he didn't swallow it, his stomach seemed to be much more comfortable. At this time, all the men had searched the biscuit shop upside down, and even dug up the bricks in the ground one by one.Seeing that he couldn't find anything anymore, Zhou Mu shouted: "Close the team!" Hu whistles sounded continuously, followed by the sound of horseshoes, and the Jindao Village bandits released Hou Jianji in batches.The two thieves lifted the tall body, placed it across the saddle, and walked cleanly in a short while. It was not until the sound of the horse's hooves had completely disappeared that there were slight human voices on the Hou Jianji.But the townspeople were afraid that the group would steal away and return, so no one dared to speak loudly.The manager of the grocery store and another clerk carried his partner's body into the store, and hurriedly closed the door, not daring to come out again.But I heard chopping and clapping in the east and babbling in the west, and the doors were either up or closed. After a while, there was no one on the street, and there was no sound at all. The little beggar saw Wu Daotong's body lying on the ground, no one paid attention to him, he was a little scared, he chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed a small piece of sesame seed cake, and was about to bite again, when he suddenly saw Wu Daotong's body move.The little beggar was taken aback and rubbed his eyes, only to see that the dead body slowly sat up.The little beggar was dumbstruck with fright, his heart was beating wildly, but seeing the dead body stretched its legs, it actually stood up.There were two soft sounds of answering and answering, the little beggar's teeth clashed. The dead body turned around, luckily the little beggar was hiding behind a corner, so the dead body couldn't see him.At this time, the cold moon was shining, but the little beggar could see clearly, but he saw a stream of blood dripping from the corner of the dead body's mouth, two steel hooks were still inserted into his belly, the little beggar clenched his teeth desperately so as not to make a sound. The dead body bent its legs, stretched out its hands to grope in the ground, found a sesame seed cake, pinched it, tore it open with both hands, then threw it away, felt another sesame seed cake, tore it open and threw it away again.The little beggar was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He saw that the dead body was groping around the ground, ignoring any sundries it touched. , while approaching the ditch.When the group of thieves searched the sesame seed shop, they swept twenty or so sesame seed cakes on the wooden board to the ground. At this time, the dead body was picked up and tore open one by one, but refused to eat it. Seeing the dead body approaching the corner step by step, the little beggar was terrified and wanted to run away, but his whole body was so frightened that he went limp.Where can a pair of feet be lifted?The corpse moved slowly, and it took a whole incense stick of time to tear apart the twenty or so biscuits.He could no longer touch the biscuits on the ground, and turned his head slowly, as if searching around.The little beggar turned his head, not daring to look at him, suddenly frightened out of his wits.It turned out that although he was hiding behind the corner of the wall, the moonlight shone from behind, casting his disheveled shadow at the feet of the dead body.The little beggar saw that the corpse's foot moved again, he yelled, and ran away. The dead body shouted hoarsely: "Seed cakes! Shaobing!" The little beggar tripped on the ground and made a somersault.The dead body bent down and stretched out its hand, and pressed his vest.The little beggar rolled over, hid aside, and ran again.The dead body couldn't stand up straight for a while, and stood up after holding on for a while. His feet were long and big. Although he walked staggeringly, swaying like a drunk man, he chased behind the little beggar in only a dozen steps, and grabbed him. He raised the back of his neck. The corpse asked: "You...you stole my sesame seed cake?" At this moment, how could the little beggar dare to deny it, so he nodded his head.The corpse asked again: "You...have you eaten?" The little beggar nodded again.The corpse stretched out its right hand, and with a snort, it tore the little beggar's clothes, exposing the skin of his chest and belly.The dead body said: "Cut open your stomach and dig it out!" The little beggar was so frightened that he couldn't hold his body, and said in a trembling voice: "I...I...I only took one bite." It turned out that Wu Daotong was hit by Zhou Mu's palms on the chest, and the tall man's double hooks were inserted into the stomach. He held his breath for a while and passed out. After a long time, he woke up slowly.Although the abdomen is a vital point, even if he is seriously injured, he will not die for a while. The only thing he can't forget is that one thing. When he woke up, he found that the people in Jindao Village had left. Back to things hidden in biscuits. He pretended to be an old cake seller and lived in seclusion in Houjianji.After staying for three years, nothing happened, but I tried to see the original owner of the thing, but I still couldn't find it.After hearing the sound of the whistle, more than two hundred riders surrounded him. Although he didn't know that the group of robbers were definitely coming towards him, he finally realized that the situation was dangerous and there was nowhere to hide in a hurry, so he immediately put the thing on the sesame seed cake among.As soon as the tall man appeared, he stretched out his hand and said: "Bring it!" Wu Daotong simply put the sesame seed cake into his hand in a dangerous move, and as expected, the tall man threw the sesame seed cake in a rage go. Wu Daotong woke up after being seriously injured, he couldn't recognize which sesame seed cake contained the thing, he tore open one by one to search for it, but there was no trace, and finally he grabbed the little beggar.He thought that the little beggar was so hungry that he probably swallowed the cake and food, so he wanted to cut open his stomach to get the food.Unable to find the sharp blade for a while, he gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and pulled out a steel hook on his belly, turned the hook head upside down, and slashed at the little beggar's belly. When the steel hook was pulled away from his belly, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, and blood gushed from the wound. Although the hook had already touched the little beggar's stomach, his left hand suddenly lost strength, and his five fingers were loosened. The little beggar fell to the ground. It was sent forward, but it missed a hole.Wu Daotong fell on his back to the sky, he straightened his feet a few times, and finally died. The little beggar fell on him, struggled desperately to get up, turned around and ran wildly.I was really scared just now, I only ran a few steps, my legs and knees were so weak, I turned a somersault, and then passed out, but my right hand was still firmly grasping the sesame seed cake that I had only bitten into.
The faint moonlight shone on Wu Daotong's body, and slowly moved to the little beggar's body, and the sound of horseshoes could be faintly heard from the southeast corner. This time the sound of hoofbeats came very quickly, just as I heard the sound, it suddenly came close.The residents of Hou Jianji were frightened, and when they heard the sound of horseshoes in the still night, they couldn't help but tremble with fear, and hid in their beds they could only tremble.But this time only two horses came, and there was no whistling. The two horses look very strange.One has black fur from head to tail, but white hooves. It is the famous "Dark Cloud Covering Snow" horse; the other has black four hooves, and the whole body is snow white. , especially rare in Middle-earth. Riding on the white horse was a woman in white. If it wasn't for the red flower on her temples and a scarlet ribbon around her waist, she would have been in mourning. A long sword with a white sheath was hung on the red ribbon.The passenger on the black horse was a middle-aged man, wearing a black shirt, and the long sword tied around his waist was also a black scabbard.Two horses galloped side by side. In an instant, both of them saw Wu Daotong's body and the damaged household items all over the floor, and exclaimed in unison, "Huh!" The man in black swung his horsewhip, wrapped it around the neck of Wu Daotong's corpse, pulled it up a few feet, and the moonlight shone on the corpse's face.The woman said: "It's Wu Daotong! It seems that An Jindao has won." The man whipped his horsewhip, threw the body on the side of the road, and said, "Wu Daotong died not long ago, and the blood on the wound has not congealed, so he can catch up!" The woman nodded. nod. The two horses galloped west side by side.The eight iron hooves landed on the bluestone slab, and the sound of hooves was like a galloping horse.The front and rear hooves of the two horses rise and fall at the same time. They are extremely neat and beautiful. Anyone who sees them will think that these two horses have been trained for a long time. There is no difference at all. The two horses ran faster and faster, and as soon as they passed the outskirts of Bianliang, the road was narrow, and they could not ride together.The woman reined in her horse slightly and let the man go first.The man tilted his head and smiled, galloped forward, and the woman followed behind. The two steeds had extraordinary foot strength, according to the circumstances of Wu Daotong's death, they should have caught up with the men and horses of Jindao Village, but there was no trace of them.They didn't know that although Wu Daotong died not long ago, the people in Jindao Village had already gone far away. They rushed non-stop for more than an hour.The two dismounted to let their mounts rest for a while, got on their horses and set off again. It was almost dawn when they suddenly saw several fires rising in the wilderness in the distance.The two looked at each other and smiled, and flew off the horse at the same time.The woman took the reins from the man and tied both horses to the trunk of a big tree.The two started to lighten their bodies and ran towards the head of the fire. These fires seem not far between the plains, but they are actually several miles apart.The two of them slid across the grass like a gust of wind.As the time approached, I saw a large group of people gathered around a dozen fires, and faintly heard the sound of snoring one after another, and everyone was eating noodles with bowls in their hands.The two wanted to spy first, but there was no place to hide in the plains, and they were about ten feet away from this group of people, so they slowed down and approached side by side. Someone in the crowd asked, "Who is it? What are you doing?" The man took a step forward, cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Isn't Village Master An here? Which friend is here?" The short old man Zhou Mu raised his eyes, and under the light of the fire, he saw a man and a woman, one black and one white, standing side by side.Both of them are middle-aged, the male is plump and handsome, the female is elegant and elegant, with fluttering clothes and a long sword hanging from her waist. Zhou Mu's heart trembled, and then he thought of two people, stood up with his waist straightened, and said, "It turns out that the owner and wife of Shizhuang Village, Xuansu Village in the south of the Yangtze River are here!" He then shouted loudly: "Brothers, get up quickly and salute. The two are the owner and wife of Shizhuang, who are so powerful in the north and south of the river." A group of men suddenly stood up and bowed slightly.Zhou Mu murmured in his heart: "Shi Qing, Min Rou and his wife have nothing to do with Liangzi in Jindao Village. They came here early in the morning. I don't know what they want to do. Could it be because of this matter?" Youmu looked around, looked at the plain, There was no one else around, and he thought to himself: "Although I heard that he and his wife are very good at swordsmanship, after all, a good man is no match for many people, so why are we afraid of him?" Mrs. Shi Minrou said softly: "Brother, this is Mr. Zhou Muzhou from Eagle Claw Gate." Although her voice was low, Zhou Mu heard it, and couldn't help feeling a little proud: "The Ice and Snow Excalibur still knows my name." He hurriedly said, "Don't dare. Ma'am." She said and bent over again. Shi Qing smiled at the thieves and said: "Everyone is having breakfast, I'm sorry to disturb you, please sit down, please sit down." Turning to Zhou Mu, he said: "Friend Zhou, you are welcome. 'Brother Zhuang Zhenzhong and Zhuang have met several times, and everyone is not an outsider." Zhou Mu said: "'Flying to the Sky' is my uncle." He thought to himself: "You are much younger than me, yet you call my Uncle Zhuang Brother Zhuang, isn't that clearly calling yourself an elder?" Thinking of this verse, Feeling that the other party came here with malicious intentions, he became more guarded.In martial arts, the word "seniority" is very important. Of course, juniors must be respectful when they meet their elders, and juniors should not disobey the elders' orders, otherwise they will be wronged if they say that they are wronged. Seeing that his face darkened slightly, Shi Qing knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "This is really offending! Back in Songshan, I heard Brother Zhuang talk about the martial arts of the noble family, and the foolish couple admired it very much. I am a family friend, and I have Don't blame Shixiong Zhou for such a ruthless request." He changed his name to "Brother Zhou", and even considered himself an elder. Zhou Mudao: "If it's about my own business, and it's for the golden face of the two, as long as I can do it, the two of you will obey everything. But if it's about our village, I have a low position, so I can't be the master. .” Shi Qingxin said: "This man is so hot, he didn't listen to what I said, let's push it clean first." He said: "That has nothing to do with Guizhai. I want to ask Brother Zhou about something. The foolish couple pursued A man named Daotong Wu named him. He was armed with a pair of judge pens. He was very tall. I heard that he had disguised himself as an old man in recent years and lived incognito near Bianliang. I don’t know if Brother Zhou had heard of him before. message?" As soon as he said Wu Daotong's name, the people in Jindao Village immediately stirred up, and some immediately put down the noodle bowls they were holding in their hands. Zhou Mu thought to himself: "You came from the east, of course you have seen Wu Daotong's body, if I don't tell you, it would seem that I am not a bachelor enough." Immediately he laughed, and said: "That's really great, Master Shizhuang, Mrs. Shi It's a coincidence that even though Zhou's martial arts are low, he happened to make a contribution to the Xian couple. This Wu Daotong offended the Xian couple, and we Jindao Village has already taken care of him." When he said these few words , staring at Shi Qing's face with both eyes, seeing whether he is happy or angry. Shi Qing smiled slightly again, and said: "This Wu Daotong has never met us, so it can't be said that he has offended the foolish couple. We pursued this person, and it was because of a thing that this person carried." The muscles on Zhou Mu's face twitched a few times, then he calmed down and said with a smile, "The Xian couple are really well informed. We at Jindao Village have also heard the news. To tell you the truth, I will bring these brothers with you this time. They came out for this matter. Alas, I don’t know which bastard made the rumor, but he was so tired that Wu Daotong died in vain. More than two hundred of us took a trip, that’s all, I’m afraid An Eldest brother also blames me for not being able to do things well. Rumors have always been flying in the world, if you think that thing is really a golden knife village, and they all make up their minds to us, isn't it wrong? Brother Zhang, how can we kill that surnamed Wu? , how to search that biscuit shop, you report to Master Shi and Mrs. Shi in detail." A short and sharp man said: "That surname Wu's martial arts is very good, our leader Li Dayuan lost his life to his subordinates. Later, leader Zhou made a move and shook that surnamed Wu off the roof with his palms. The tendons and bones of the whole body will be broken, and the five internal organs will be smashed..." This man's teeth are extremely flexible, and he added more sauce, telling how the gangsters pried open the bricks on the ground where the sesame seed cakes were spread, how to overturn the vat, how to tear down the wall and turn over the kang. It's a long article, but the section about Zhou Mu taking the package on Wu Daotong's back is omitted. Shi Qing nodded, and said in his heart: "When Zhou Mu saw us this week, he was always on guard and uneasy. Xuansu Village and Jindao Village have never had any problems. If he hadn't got that thing, why would he treat us as a couple?" So be on guard?" He knows that this group of people can't get this thing, and if they get it, they must be by Zhou Mu's side, and at a glance, he can see that there are more than 200 people in Jindao Village who are strong and tough, although there are no first-class experts. , how many people are hard to fight.Just now Zhou Mu's words were polite, but there were quite a lot of bones in them, and there was no friendly intention at all, and he was still smiling slightly, pointing to the woods far away on the left, and said: " I have a word, I want to discuss it with Zhou Shixiong alone, please take a step to talk in the forest over there." How could Zhou Mu be willing to take the order, and immediately said: "We are all good brothers and friends here, there is nothing to do..." Before he could say the word "to people" below, he suddenly felt his left wrist tighten, and it was already held by Shi Qing He stopped, followed by half body numbness, and his right hand had no strength.Zhou Mu was both startled and angry. Ever since Shi Qing and Min Rou's couple showed up, he responded attentively, not daring to be negligent. Unexpectedly, Shi Qing did what he said, and he grabbed his wrist as quickly as lightning. .This kind of grappling technique was originally his Eagle Claw Sect's special skill, but unexpectedly he fell into the opponent's hands before he handed in the first move, desperate to use his strength to struggle, but the strength in his body has disappeared without a trace, knowing that the key point has been controlled by the opponent, In an instant, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Shi Qing said in a clear voice: "Since Zhou Shixiong agreed to go over and talk, it's best not to." Turning back to Min Rou, he said: "Junior Sister, Zhou Shixiong and I went over to have a word, and we will be back in a moment, please wait here a moment. "He said and walked slowly.Min Rousi said politely: "Senior brother, please go ahead." Although they are husband and wife, they are called brothers and sisters. Everyone in Jindao Village saw Shi Qing walking with Zhou Mu with a smile, and seemed to have no malicious intentions. His wife stayed there, and no one could have imagined that Zhou Mu would be hijacked away without making a sound because of his martial arts skills. Shi Qing grabbed Zhou Mu's wrist and walked faster and faster. If Zhou Mu slowed down a bit, he would fall down immediately, so he had to run desperately.It was about miles from the fire to the forest, and the two of them entered the forest in a flash. Shi Qing let go of his wrist, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou..." Zhou Mu said angrily, "What are you doing?" His right hand was grasped, and with a move of "Lion Fighting Hand", he grabbed Shi Qing's chest hard. . Shi Qing swiped his left hand from right to left, and lightly touched his wrist, already bringing his arm to the left, grabbing it tightly, unexpectedly grasping both his wrists behind his back with one hand.Shocked and angry, Zhou Mu kicked back with his right foot. Shi Qing smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, why bother to get angry?" Zhou Mu only felt numbness in the two acupoints of "Fu Tu" and "Huan Tiao" on his right leg. down.This time, he only had one left foot on the ground, if he kicked backward again, his body would have to fall forward, his face flushed red, and he said angrily, "You...you...you..." Shi Qingdao: "Brother Zhou has already taken the things on Wu Daotong's body, so I want to borrow them to have a look. Please take them out!" Zhou Mu said: "I have those things, but they are not with me. Since you want to see them, let's go back Just go over there." He wanted to trick Shi Qing back to the fire, when he gave an order, the crowd rose up and attacked, no matter how strong Shi Qing and his wife's martial arts are, they will inevitably be outnumbered. Shi Qing smiled and said: "I can't believe it, but I want to search around Brother Zhou! Don't be offended." Zhou Mu said angrily: "You want to search for me? Who do you think I am?" Shi Qing didn't answer, and took off his left leather boot as soon as he stretched out his hand.Zhou Mu let out an "ah", and saw that he had already taken out a small bag from the boot, which was exactly what he got from Wu Daotong.Zhou Mu was shocked, angry, and surprised: "This... this... how did he know? Could it be that he saw me hiding in there?" In fact, as soon as Shi Qing said that he wanted to search, he saw his eyes naturally glance to his left foot. , turned his eyes away immediately, looked into the distance, guessed that the object must be hidden in his left boot, and sure enough, he searched for it. Shi Qing thought to himself: "Just now that person described the scene of the big search of the sesame seed shop, it is not false, but this thing was found on you, of course it is your intention to hide it from everyone and swallow it privately." The three fingers of the left hand squeezed the small bag. After a few strokes, his face changed slightly. Zhou Mu blushed so anxiously that he couldn't make up his mind whether to call for help.Shi Qing said coldly: "You betrayed Lord Anzhai, would you rather reveal the matter in public and be punished by cutting off your ten fingers?" Zhou Mu was shocked, and trembled uncontrollably: "You... how do you know? Shi Qing said: "Of course I know." Song Zhi let go of his hands and said, "An Jindao is so smart, you can't even hide it from me, how can you hide it from him?" At this moment, only a few footsteps were heard, and someone had arrived outside the forest.A rough voice laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Thank you for the compliment from the master of Shizhuang, An Mou thanked you here." After speaking, the three broke into the forest.
When Zhou Mu saw it, his face turned ashen.These three people are An Fengri, the leader of Jindao Village, Feng Zhenwu, the leader of the second village, and Taoist Yuan Cheng, the leader of the third village.When Zhou Mu was ordered to go after Wu Daotong, Village Master An didn't say that he would send someone to meet him, but for some reason, he went down to the village himself.Zhou Mu thought to himself that his plot to swallow this thing had already come to fruition, and his reputation would be ruined, and his life might be in danger, so he hurriedly said, "Brother An, that...that...he took it away." An Fengri bowed his hands to salute Shi Qing, and said: "The owner of Shizhuang is famous all over the world, and An has admired him so much, but he has never been close to him. Our village is nearby, so he invited the owner of Shizhuang and his wife to stay together for a few days, so that brothers To be taught a lesson.” Shi Qing saw An Fengri with round eyes and beard, short and stocky, with a rough look on his face, but unexpectedly he spoke very decently, and invited him to Jindao Village to hang around without mentioning that he had robbed him.But this time going to the stronghold, how can I get out easily?After bowing his hand to return the salute, he put the small bag into his arms and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master An for your kindness..." Suddenly there was a flash of blue light, Taoist Yuan Cheng drew his long sword out of its sheath, the tip of the sword stabbed Shi Qing's wrist, and shouted: "Put this thing down first!" This came down so fast, did he know that Shi Qing was even faster, he was on one side, and had already bullied Taoist Yuan Cheng, handed out the small bag and put it in his left hand, and said with a smile: "Here you are!" Yuan Cheng The Taoist was overjoyed, he didn't have time to think about his intentions, so he grabbed it, but his right wrist went numb, and the long sword in his hand was snatched away by the opponent. Shi Qing turned the long sword upside down, slashed at Yuan Cheng's left wrist, and shouted: "Put this thing down first!" Yuan Cheng was startled, seeing the cold light flashing, the sword's edge was less than five inches away from his left wrist, he retracted his hand and retreated, but it was too late, so he had to turn the small bag with his palm Throw it back. Feng Zhenwu shouted: "What a handsome skill!" Before Shi Qing reached out to pick up the small bag, he unfolded his single knife, rolled to the ground, and slashed at his leg.Shi Qing stabbed down with his long sword, this move came later, before Feng Zhenwu single-handedly cut his right leg, his long sword was about to nail Feng Zhenwu's head to the ground. Seeing the sudden danger, An Fengri shouted: "Under the sword..." Shi Qing's long sword continued to stab forward, Feng Zhenwu's heart felt cold, he closed his eyes and waited to die, only felt a slight pain on his cheek, but Shi Qing's long sword did not再刺下，原来他剑下留情，剑尖碰到了冯振武的面颊。立刻收势，其间方位、力道，竟是半分也相差不得。跟着听得搭的一声轻响，石清长剑拍回小包，伸手接住，安奉日那“留情”两字这才出口。 石清收回长剑，说道：“得罪！”退开了两步。 冯振武站起身来，倒提单刀，满脸愧色，退到了安奉日身后，口中喃喃说了两句，不知是谢石清剑下留情，还是骂他出手狠辣，那只有自己知道了。 安奉日伸手解开胸口铜扣，将单刀从背后取下，拔刀出鞘。其时朝阳初升，日光从林间空隙照射进来，金刀映日，闪闪耀眼，厚背薄刃，果然好一口利器！安奉日金刀一立，说道：“石庄主技艺惊人，佩服，佩服，兄弟要讨教几招！” 石清笑道：“今日得会高贤，幸也何如！”一扬手，将那小包掷了出去。四人一怔之间，只听得飕的一声，石清手中夺自元澄道人的长剑跟着掷出，那小包刚撞上对面树干，长剑已然赶上，将小包钉入树中。剑锋只穿过小包一角，却不损及包中物事，手法之快，运劲之巧，实不亚于适才连败元澄道人、冯振武的那两招。 四人的眼光从树干再回到石清身上时，只见他手中已多了一柄通体墨黑的长剑，只听他说道：“墨剑会金刀，点到为止。是谁占先一招半式，便得此物如何？” 安奉日见他居然将已得之物钉在树上，再以比武较量来决定此物谁属，丝毫不占便宜，心下好生佩服，说道：“石庄主请！”他早就听说玄素庄石清、闵柔夫妇剑术精绝，适才见他制服元澄道人和冯振武，当真名下无虚，心中丝毫不敢托大，刷刷刷三刀，尽是虚劈。 石清剑尖向地，全身纹风不动，说道：“进招罢！” 安奉日这才挥刀斜劈，招式未老，已然倒翻上来。他一出手便是生平绝技七十二路“劈卦刀”，招中藏套，套中含式，变化多端。石清使开墨剑，初时见招破招，守得甚是严谨，三十余招后，一声清啸，陡地展开抢攻，那便一剑快似一剑。安奉日接了三十余招后，已全然看不清对方剑势来路，心中暗暗惊慌，只有舞刀护住要害。 两人拆了七十招，刀剑始终不交，忽听得叮的一声轻响，墨剑的剑锋已贴住了刀背，顺势滑了下去。这一招“顺流而下”，原是以剑破刀的寻常招数，若是对手武功稍逊，安奉日只须刀身向外掠出，立时便将来剑荡开。但石清的墨剑来势奇快，安奉日翻刀欲荡，剑锋已凉飕飕的碰到了他的食指。安奉日大惊：“我四根手指不保！”便欲撒刀后退，也已不及。心念电转之际，石清长剑竟然硬生生的收住，非但不向前削，反而向后挪了数寸。安奉日知他手下容情，此际欲不撒刀，也可不得，只得松手放开了刀柄。 哪知墨剑一翻，转到了刀下，却将金刀托住，不令落地，只听石清说道：“你我势均力敌，难分胜败。”墨剑微微一震，金刀跃将起来。 安奉日心中好生感激，五指又握紧了刀柄，知他取胜之后，尚自给自己保存颜面，忙举刀一立，恭恭敬敬行了一礼，正是“劈卦刀”的收刀势“南海礼佛”。 他这一招使出，心下更惊，不由得脸上变色，原来他一招一式的使将下来，此时刚好将七十二路“劈卦刀”刀法使完，显是对方于自己这门拿手绝技知之已稔，直等自己的刀法使到第七十一路上，这才将自己制住，倘若他一上来便即抢攻，自己能否挡得住他十招八招，也是殊无把握。 安奉日正想说几句感谢的言语，石清还剑入鞘，抱拳说道：“姓石的交了安寨主这个朋友，咱们不用再比。何时路过敝庄，务请来盘桓几日。”安奉日脸色惨然，道：“自当过来拜访。”纵身近树，拔起元澄道人的长剑，接住小包，将一刀一剑都插在地下，双手捧了那小包，走到石清身前，说道：“石庄主请取去罢！”这件要物他虽得而复失，但石清顾全自己面子，保全了自己四根手指，却也十分承他的情。 不料石清双手一拱，说道：“后会有期！”转身便走。 安奉日叫道：“石庄主请留步。庄主顾全安某颜面，安某岂有不知？安某明明是大败亏输，此物务请石庄主取去，否则岂不是将安某当作不识好歹的无赖小人了。”石清微笑道：“安寨主，今日比武，胜败未分。安寨主的青龙刀、拦路断门刀等等精妙刀法都尚未施展，怎能便说输了？再说，这个小包中并无那物在内，只怕周世兄是上了人家的当。” 安奉日一怔，说道：“并无那物在内？”急忙打开小包，拆了一层又一层，拆了五层之后，只见包内有三个铜钱，凝神再看，外圆内方，其形扁薄，却不是三枚制钱是甚么？一怔之下，不由得惊怒交集，当下强自抑制，转头向周牧道：“周兄弟，这……这到底开甚么玩笑？”周牧嗫嚅道：“我……我也不知道啊。在那吴道通身上，便只搜到这个小包。” 安奉日心下雪亮，情知吴道通不是将那物藏在隐秘异常之处，便是已交给了旁人，此番不但空却跋涉，反而大损金刀寨的威风，当下将纸包往地下一掷，向石清道：“倒教石庄主见笑了，却不知石庄主何由得知？” 石清适才夺到那个小包之时，随手一捏，便已察觉是三枚圆形之物，虽不知定是铜钱，却已确定绝非心目中欲取的物件，微笑道：“在下也只胡乱猜测而已。咱们同是受人之愚，盼安寨主大量包涵。”一抱拳，转身向冯振武、元澄道人、周牧拱了拱手，快步出林。
石清走到火堆之旁，向闵柔道：“师妹，走罢！”两人上了坐骑，又向来路回去。 闵柔看了丈夫的脸色，不用多问，便知此事没有成功，心中一酸，不由得泪水一滴滴的落上衣襟。石清道：“金刀寨也上了当。咱们再到吴道通尸身上去搜搜，说不定金刀寨的朋友们漏了眼。”闵柔明知无望，却不违拗丈夫之意，哽咽道：“是。” 黑白双驹脚力快极，没到晌午时分，又已到了侯监集上。 镇民惊魂未定，没一家店铺开门。群盗杀人抢劫之事，已由地方保甲向汴梁官衙禀报，官老爷还在调兵遣将，不敢便来，显是打着“迟来一刻便多一分平安”的主意。 石清夫妇纵马来到吴道通尸身之旁，见墙角边坐着个十二、三岁的小丐，此外四下里更无旁人。石清当即在吴道通身上细细搜寻，连他发髻也拆散了，鞋袜也除了来看过。闵柔则到烧饼铺去再查了一次。 两夫妇相对黯然，同时叹了口气。闵柔道：“师哥，看来此仇已注定难报。这几日来也真累了你啦。咱们到汴梁城中散散心，看几出戏文，听几场鼓儿书。”石清知道妻子素来爱静，不喜观剧听曲，到汴梁散散心云云，那全是体贴自己，便说道：“也好，既然来到了河南，总得到汴梁逛逛。听说汴梁的银匠是高手，去拣几件首饰也是好的。”闵柔素以美色驰名武林，本来就喜爱打扮，人近中年，对容止修饰更加注重。她凄然一笑，说道：“自从坚儿死后，这十三年来你给我买的首饰，足够开一家珠宝铺子啦！” 她说到“自从坚儿死后”一句话，泪水又已涔涔而下，一瞥眼间，只见那小丐坐在墙角边，猥猥崽崽，污秽不堪，不禁起了怜意，问道：“你妈妈呢？怎么做叫化子了？”小丐道：“我……我……我妈妈不见了。”闵柔叹了口气，从怀中摸出一小锭银子，掷在他脚边，说道：“买饼儿去吃罢！”提缰便行，回头问道：“孩子，你叫甚么名字？” 那小丐道：“我……我叫'狗杂种'！” 闵柔一怔，心想：“怎会叫这样的名字？”石清摇了摇头，道：“是个白痴！”闵柔道：“是，怪可怜见儿的。”两人纵马向汴梁城驰去。
那小丐自给吴道通的死尸吓得晕了过去，直到天明才醒，这一下惊吓实在厉害，睁眼见到吴道通的尸体血肉模糊的躺在自己身畔，竟不敢起身逃开，迷迷糊糊的醒了又睡，睡了又醒。石清到来之时，他神智已然清醒，正想离去，却见石清翻弄尸体，又吓得不敢动了，没想到那个美丽女子竟会给自己一锭银子。他心道：“饼儿么？我自己也有。” 他提起右手，手中兀自抓着那咬过一口的烧饼，惊慌之心渐去，登感饥饿难忍，张口往烧饼上用力咬下，只听得卜的一声响，上下门牙大痛，似是咬到了铁石。那小丐一拉烧饼，口中已多了一物，忙吐在左手掌中，见是黑黝黝的一块铁片。 那小丐看了一眼，也不去细想烧饼中何以会有铁片，也来不及抛去，见饼中再无异物，当即大嚼起来，一个烧饼顷刻即尽。他眼光转到吴道通尸体旁那十几枚撕破的烧饼上，寻思：“给鬼撕过的饼子，不知吃不吃得？” 正打不定主意，忽听得头顶有人叫道：“四面围住了！”那小丐一惊，抬起头来，只见屋顶上站着三个身穿白袍的男子，跟着身后飕飕几声，有人纵近。小丐转过身来，但见四名白袍人手中各持长剑，分从左右掩将过来。 蓦地里马蹄声响，一人飞骑而至，大声叫道：“是雪山派的好朋友么？来到河南，恕安某未曾远迎。”顷刻间一匹黄马直冲到身前，马上骑着个虬髯矮胖子，也不勒马，突然跃下鞍来。那黄马斜刺里奔了出去，兜了个圈子，便远远站住，显是教熟了的。 屋顶上的三名白袍男子同时纵下地来，都是手按剑柄。一个四十来岁的魁梧汉子说道：“是金刀安寨主吗？幸会，幸会！”一面说，一面向站在安奉日身后的白袍人连使眼色。 原来安奉日为石清所败，甚是沮丧，但跟着便想：“石庄主夫妇又去侯监集干甚么？是了，周四弟上了当，没取到真物，他夫妇定是又去寻找。我是他手下败将，他若取到，我只有眼睁睁的瞧着。但若他寻找不到，我们难道便不能再找一次，碰碰运气？此物倘若真是曾在吴道通手中，他定是藏在隐秘万分之所，搜十次搜不到，再搜第十一次又有何妨？”当即跨黄马追赶上来。 他坐骑脚力远不及石氏夫妇的黑白双驹，又不敢过分逼近，是以直至石清、闵柔细搜过吴道通的尸身与烧饼铺后离去，这才赶到侯监集。他来到镇口，远远瞧见屋顶有人，三个人都是身穿白衣，背悬长剑，这般装束打扮，除了藏边的雪山派弟子外更无旁人，驰马稍近，更见三人全神贯注，如临大敌。他还道这三人要去偷袭石氏夫妇，念着石清适才卖的那个交情，便纵声叫了出来，要警告他夫妇留神。不料奔到近处，未见石氏夫妇影踪，雪山派七名弟子所包围的竟是个小乞儿。 安奉日大奇，见那小丐年纪幼小，满脸泥污，不似身有武功的模样，待见眼前那白衣汉子连使眼色，他又向那小丐望了一眼。 这一望之下，登时心头大震，只见那小丐左手拿着一块铁片，黑黝黝地，似乎便是传说中的那枚“玄铁令”，待见身后那四名白衣人长剑闪动，竟是要上前抢夺的模样，当下不及细想，立即反手拔出金刀，使出“八方藏刀势”，身形转动，滴溜溜地绕着那小丐转了一圈，金刀左一刀，右一刀，前一刀，后一刀，霎时之间，八方各砍三刀，三八二十四刀，刀刀不离小丐身侧半尺之外，将那小丐全罩在刀锋之下。 那小丐只觉刀光刺眼，全身凉飕飕地，哇的一声，大哭起来。 便在此时，七个白衣人各出长剑，幻成一道光网，在安奉日和小丐身周围了一圈。白光是个大圈，大圈内有个金色小圈，金色小圈内有个小叫化眼泪鼻涕的大哭。 忽听得马蹄声响，一匹黑马，一匹白马从西驰来，却是石清、闵柔夫妇去而复回。 原来他二人驰向汴梁，行出不久，便发现了雪山派弟子的踪迹，两人商量了几句，当即又策马赶回。石清望见八人刀剑挥舞，朗声叫道：“雪山派众位朋友，安寨主，大家是好朋友，有话好说，不可伤了和气。” 雪山派那魁梧汉子长剑一竖，七人同时停剑，却仍团团围在安奉日的身周。 石清与闵柔驰到近处，蓦地见到那小丐左手拿着的铁片，同时“咦”的一声，只不知是否便是心目中那物，二人心中都是怦怦而跳。石清飞身下鞍，走上几步，说道：“小兄弟，你手里拿着的是甚么东西，给我瞧瞧成不成？”饶是他素来镇定，说这两句话时却语音微微发颤。他已打定主意，料想安奉日不会阻拦，只须那小丐一伸手，立时便抢入剑圈中夺将过来，谅那一众雪山派弟子也拦不住自己。 那白衣汉子道：“石庄主，这是我们先见到的。” 闵柔这时也已下马走近，说道：“耿师兄，请你问问这位小兄弟，他脚旁那锭银子，是不是我给的？”这句话甚是明白，她既已给过银子，自比那些白衣人早见到那小丐了。 那魁梧的汉子姓耿，名万钟，是当今雪山派第二代弟子中的好手，说道：“石夫人，或许是贤伉俪先见到这个小兄弟，但这枚'玄铁令'呢，却是我们兄弟先见到的了。” 一听到“玄铁令”这三字，石清、闵柔、安奉日三人心中都是一凛：“果然便是'玄铁令'！”雪山派其余六人也各露出异样神色。其实他七人谁都没细看过那小丐手中拿着的铁片，只是见石氏夫妇与金刀寨寨主都如此郑重其事，料想必是此物；而石、闵、安三人也是一般的想法：雪山派耿万钟等七人并非寻常人物，既看中了这块铁片，当然不会错的了。 十个人一般的心思，忽然不约而同的一齐伸出手来，说道：“小兄弟，给我！” 十个人互相牵制，谁也不敢出手抢夺，知道只要谁先用强，大利当前，旁人立即会攻己空门，只盼那小丐自愿将铁片交给自己。 那小丐又怎知道这十人所要的，便是险些儿崩坏了他牙齿的这块小铁片，这时虽已收泪止哭，却是茫然失措，泪水在眼眶中滚来滚去，随时便能又再流下。 忽听得一个低沉的声音说道：“还是给我！” 一个人影闪进圈中，一伸手，便将那小丐手中的铁片拿了过去。
“放下！”“干甚么？”“好大胆！”“混蛋！”齐声喝骂声中，九柄长剑一把金刀同时向那人影招呼过去。安奉日离那小丐最近，金刀挥出，便是一招“白虹贯日”，砍向那人脑袋。雪山派弟子习练有素，同时出手，七剑分刺那人七个不同方位，叫他避得了肩头，闪不开大腿，挡得了中盘来招，卸不去攻他上盘的剑势。石清与闵柔一时看不清来人是谁，不肯便使杀手取他性命，双剑各圈了半圆，剑光霍霍，将他罩在玄素双剑之下。 却听得叮当、叮当一阵响，那人双手连振，也不知使了甚么手法，霎时间竟将安奉日的金刀、雪山弟子的长剑尽数夺在手中。 石清和闵柔只觉得虎口一麻，长剑便欲脱手飞出，急忙向后跃开。石清登时脸如白纸，闵柔却是满脸通红。玄素庄石庄主夫妇双剑合璧，并世能与之抗手不败的已寥寥无几，但给那人伸指在剑身上分别一弹，两柄长剑都险些脱手，那是两人临敌以来从未遇到过之事。 看那人时，只见他昂然而立，一把金刀、七柄长剑都插在他身周。那人青袍短须，约莫五十来岁年纪，容貌清癯，脸上隐隐有一层青气，目光中流露出一股说不尽的欢喜之意。石清蓦地想到一人，脱口而出：“尊驾莫非便是这玄铁令的主人么？” 那人嘿嘿一笑，说道：“玄素庄黑白双剑，江湖上都道剑术了得，果然名不虚传。老夫适才以一分力道对付这八位朋友，以九分力道对付贤伉俪，居然仍是夺不下两位手中兵刃。唉，我这'弹指神通'功夫，'弹指'是有了，'神通'二字如何当得？看来非得再下十年苦功不可。” 石清一听，更无怀疑，抱拳道：“愚夫妇此番来到河南，原是想上摩天崖来拜见尊驾。虽然所盼成空，总算有缘见到金面，却也是不虚此行了。愚夫妇这几手三脚猫的粗浅剑术，在尊驾眼中自是不值一笑。尊驾今日亲手收回玄铁令，可喜可贺。” 雪山派群弟子听了石清之言，均是暗暗嘀咕：“这青袍人便是玄铁令的主人谢烟客？他于一招之间便夺了我们手中长剑，若不是他，恐怕也没第二个了。”七人你瞧瞧我，我瞧瞧他，都是默不作声。 安奉日武功并不甚高，江湖上的阅历却远胜于雪山派七弟子，当即拱手说道：“适才多有冒犯，在下这里谨向谢前辈谢过，还盼恕过不知之罪。” 那青袍人正是摩天崖的谢烟客。他又是哈哈一笑，道：“照我平日规矩，你们这般用兵刃向我身上招呼，我是非一报还一报不可，你用金刀砍我左肩，我当然也要用这把金刀砍你左肩才合道理。”他说到这里，左手将那铁片在掌中一抛一抛，微微一笑，又道：“不过碰到今日老夫心情甚好，这一刀便寄下了。你刺我胸口，你刺我大腿环跳穴，你刺我左腰，你斩我小腿……”他口中说着，右手分指雪山派七弟子。 那七人听他将刚才自己的招数说得分毫不错，更是骇然，在这电光石火般的一瞬之间，他竟将每一人出招的方位看得明明白白，又记得清清楚楚，只听他又道：“这也通统记在帐上，几时碰到我脾气不好，便来讨债收帐。” 雪山派中一个矮个子大声道：“我们艺不如人，输了便输了，你又说这些风凉话作甚？你记甚么帐？爽爽快快刺我一剑便是，谁又耐烦把这笔帐挂在心头。”此人名叫王万仞，其时他两手空空，说这几句话，摆明是要将性命交在对方手里了。他同门师兄弟齐声喝止，他却已一口气说了出来。 谢烟客点了点头，道：“好！”拔起王万仞的长
