Chapter 7 Chapter Seven Snow Mountain Swordsmanship

Chen Chongzhi held the long sword horizontally with both hands, brought it to Shi Potian, and said in a low voice: "Clan Master, don't talk to them too much, use force to decide right from wrong. Whoever wins wins, and whoever loses is wrong." He saw Bai Wanjianjian Although the method is good, it is expected that the internal strength is not as good as the gang leader, since the evidence is convincing, he can't argue with him, so he has to use force, even if the gang leader loses, and the Changle gang has many people, he will kill them all without returning. Shi Potian took the long sword casually, his heart was full of confusion.

Bai Wanjian said calmly: "Shi Zhongyu listened: Bai Wanjian was ordered by Mr. Weide, the head of the sect, to clean up the sect today. This is the matter of the Xueshan sect and has nothing to do with others. It’s inconvenient to use your hands, how about we go outside and settle the matter?” Shi Potian said in a daze: "What... what's the point?" Ding Dang pushed him lightly on the back, and said in a low voice: "Fight him, your martial arts are much stronger than him, if you kill him, you will die." Yes." Shi Potian said: "I... I don't kill him, why did I kill him? Master Bai is not a bad person." While speaking, he took two steps forward.

Bai Wanjian saw Wang Wanren seriously injured just now with a flick of his sleeves, thinking that after this kid left Lingxiao City, some kind of fortuitous encounter happened to him, and he developed such profound inner strength, and the other martial arts must be of no small importance. , how dare there be the slightest negligence?The long sword trembled, and a move of "Plum Snow Fights Spring", there is reality in the falsehood, and falsehood in the reality, the tip of the sword is used at the same time, the tip of the sword is a snow spot, and the edge of the sword is a plum branch, attacking Shi Potian from all directions.

In an instant, Shi Potian's eyes were filled with white light, how could he distinguish the tip of the sword from the blade?In his panic, he flailed his sleeves outward again. He had a lot of internal energy, but he didn't know how to use it at all. Just now, he threw Wang Wanren out, but it was just a coincidence.At this time, if he swung wildly, his strength would be weak, not to mention that Bai Wanjian's martial arts were far from comparable to Wang Wanren's.But when he heard a chichi sound, his two sleeves had been cut off by Bai Wanjian's long sword.Then there was a slight chill in the throat, and it was already held by the tip of the sword.

Bai Wanjian knew that the other party was full of masters, especially Bei Haishi's martial arts were by no means inferior to his own.Standing behind Shi Potian, the old man's eyes are bright, he must be a very powerful person, in a dangerous place, how can he give him a break to breathe?As soon as he succeeds in the move, he immediately took two steps forward, stretched out his left arm, and had already held Shi Potian under his side, with his arms, he forced the two acupuncture points on Shi Potian's waist, and shouted: "Everyone, I offended you today. I will come to the door to apologize in the future!"

Ke Wanjun and others saw that his senior brother had succeeded, and without waiting for orders, he immediately picked up Wang Wanren and rushed towards the gate at the same time. Chen Chongzhi and Mi Hengye drew their swords together, and shouted: "Put down the sect master!" The sword cut off the shoulder, the sword took off the plate, and attacked Bai Wanjian at the same time. Bai Wanjian's long sword trembled, making two bangs, cutting the sword one after another, although it was said that it was one after another, the difference between them was only an instant.He felt that the internal force contained in the enemy's blade was really not weak, he thought: "These two people's martial arts are so good, Changle helps all the masters to fight together, the nine of us must die here." Standing against the wall, he shouted: "Whoever comes up, brother has to kill Shi Zhongyu first, and then deal with everyone."

The gang leaders of the Changle gang never expected that the gang leader would be caught by him in one move with such martial arts skills, and they couldn't help but lose their minds. Ding Dang was full of anxiety, and gestured to Ding Busan repeatedly, asking him to take action.But Ding Busan smiled and thought: "This kid is very strong in martial arts. On that small boat, he unloaded my palm lightly. How can he be easily captured? He must have intentions in this move. Why should I force myself to stand out and spoil his affairs instead? Let's watch the excitement in secret." Ding Dang was a little relieved when he saw his grandfather smiling nonchalantly, but he was always worried that his beloved would fall into the enemy's hands.

At this time, Ke Wanjun hit the door with both palms, and was pushing outward with his inner strength. The wooden pillars supporting the outside of the door were creaked by him, and the door was about to be pushed open by him.Bei Haishi leaned forward, and said: "Friend Ke, don't be in a hurry, wait for the younger brother to ask someone to open the door to see the guests." Hua Wanzi shouted: "Back off?" She swung her long sword to protect Ke Wanjun's vest. Bei Haishi stretched out his fingers and grabbed the blade.Hua Wanzi was startled: "Could it be that your palm is not afraid of the sword's edge?" He hesitated for a while, seeing that Bei Haishi's fingers had already grasped the sword, unexpectedly there was still a few inches between his palm and the sword's edge, and suddenly his fingers popped out. , with a buzzing sound, Hua Wanzi's long sword couldn't be grasped, and she dropped her hand to the ground.Bei Haishi stretched out his right hand and patted her shoulder.The speed of these two strokes of rabbit ups and downs, the speed of changing moves, is no less than the six sword flowers left by Bai Wanjian on the pillar just now.

Ding Busan nodded secretly: "Doctor Bei enjoys a great reputation in the martial arts with five elements and six palms, and he really has his real ability." But seeing him wandering east and west lightly, flicking one finger here and sending a palm there, Xueshan School All the disciples fell to the ground one after another, and each of them fought with him three or four times at most before being knocked down. Bai Wanjian yelled: "Good kung fu, good five elements and six palms, the surname Bai will definitely learn it someday!" Suddenly he flew up, burst through the roof with a sudden rattling sound, and flew out with Shi Potian in his arms.

Bei Haishi shouted: "Why don't you learn the lesson today?" Then he jumped up and chased out from the hole in the roof, only to see the cold light was dazzling, and there seemed to be thousands of snowflakes pouring down from the top of his head.He was in mid-air, without a weapon in his hand, he couldn't parry in his eagerness, he immediately sent a heavy fall, and he fell straight down abruptly.This look is ordinary, but in an instant, the momentum of rushing upwards turned into a downward movement, and if there is even a slight difference, you will be injured by the sword. All the masters in the hall watched it, and they all cheered from the bottom of their hearts Come.But Bai Wanjian relied on this move, and took Shi Potian hostage away.Bei Haishi stepped on the ground with his toes, and then chased out through the house.

Ding Dang was in a hurry and wanted to chase out through the hole in the roof.Ding Busan grabbed her arm and said in a low voice, "No busy!" There was a constant sound of bang bang, bang bang, and the tiles and mud were falling from the holes in the roof.Among the eight disciples of the Xueshan School who were lying on the ground, suddenly a small and thin human figure jumped up, as fast as a civet cat, swift like an ape, and got out from the hole in the roof. Chen Chongzhi backhanded the saber, and with a scoff, he cut off a piece of the sole of his shoe, but missed his foot by only an inch.Qunhao were all taken aback, they didn't expect that besides Bai Wanjian in the Snow Mountain School, there would be such a master, who was able to escape after being knocked down by Bei Haishi.Fearing that the other seven people would escape again, Mi Hengye counted his fingers one by one. At this time, more than ten members of the Changle Gang had weapons in hand, rushed out from the hole in the roof, and chased after him separately.Everyone thought: "He came to the door and captured our gang leader. If we don't stop it, how can the Changle gang have a foothold in the Jianghu in the future? Although they also captured seven enemies, even if they captured seven Ten or seven hundred people can't make up for the humiliation of being captured by the leader of the gang." He thought: "It is only a matter of tying up that surnamed Bai and tearing him apart with three tricks, and all the brothers will rush forward to save the leader of the gang. Great feat." At that moment, everyone bravely chased after him separately. There were whistles everywhere, and more and more people from the Changle Gang chased them out.
Bai Wanjian managed to capture Shi Potian with a single move, he himself found it hard to believe, after breaking through the roof and escaped, he cried out in his heart: "Shame!" Walking far away, looking around, I saw an arch bridge over the Xishou River. At this time, I didn't have much time to think about it, so I rushed to the bottom of the bridge, and stood on the footstone of the bridge with Shi Potian in my arms, clinging to the bridge body. Not long after, I heard the Changle gang roaring to and fro on the south bank of the small river, and seven or eight people stepped on the stone bridge, running from the south to the north of the bridge.Bai Wanjian made up his mind: "If the enemy finds out my whereabouts, I may have to kill this kid first." He only heard that another group of Changle gang members came along the river to search for them.Suddenly, there was a sound of rattles in the grass by the river, and a person galloped eastward. Hearing this person's footsteps, Bai Wanjian knew it was Wang Wanyi, his junior brother, and was overjoyed.Wang Wanyi's lightness kung fu is ranked first in the Snow Mountain School, and he runs like flying. This move is obviously intended to distract the pursuers so that he can take the opportunity to escape.Sure enough, Changle helped the hordes of bees to chase after them.Bai Wanjian thought to himself: "There are quite a few wise men in the Changle Gang, how can we leave a gap and let me go leisurely?" While hesitating, he could only hear the sound of oars and the sound of water. Three open boats came from the east, two of which were filled with melons and vegetables, and one of which was filled with straw. It was believed that villagers came to Zhenjiang City early in the morning to sell them.The three ships run end to end and cross the arched bridge.Bai Wanjian was overjoyed, when the last firewood boat passed by, he jumped up and landed on the straw pile together with Shi Potian.The straw was piled up so high that they almost touched the bottom of the bridge. The two of them fell gently, and the villagers on the boat didn't realize it.Bai Wanjian and Shi Potian sank and got into the straw pile. The firewood boat sailed to Chaishi and berthed at the shore. The peasants who rocked the boat went to the teahouse to drink tea. Bai Wanjian poked his head out from the straw, saw no one was around, immediately jumped ashore with Shi Potian in his arms, saw a black-covered boat moored beside the Xishou pier, immediately stepped on the bow, took out an ingot and weighed it He threw the silver on the board of the boat and said, "Boater, my friend is suddenly ill, so send us to Yangzhou quickly. This ingot is the ship's money, so there is no need to look for it." The boatman was overjoyed when he saw such a large ingot of silver. , Repeatedly agreed, pulled the pole and sailed.The awning boat turned a few turns and entered the canal, heading northward. Bai Wanjian shrank in the cabin.He knew that the Changle Gang was very powerful in this area, and if there was any news, the heroes would come, so he thought: "Although I was lucky enough to capture Shi Zhongyu, but how can I get all seven juniors and sisters trapped in the Changle Gang?" Rescue them from danger?" Feeling happy and worried, afraid that Shi Potian would put on a show, before a cup of tea, he stretched out his fingers and touched a few acupuncture points on his body, when the Wupeng boat turned into the Yangtze River, Shi Potian's body was already dead. Forty or fifty acupuncture points were clicked by him. Bai Wanjian said: "Boater, just go down the river, here is another five liang of silver." The boatman was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for the generous reward from the guest officer, but the villain's boat is too small to withstand the wind and waves in the river. You can barely handle it." Bai Wanjian said: "It's best to go down the river by the south bank." After sailing for more than twenty miles, Bai Wanjian saw a small temple with yellow walls on the shore, and immediately stood on the bow of the boat, roaring loudly.Immediately there was a whistling sound from the temple, Bai Wanjian said: "Dock." The boatman drove the boat to the shore, put in a pole, and was about to spread the springboard, Bai Wanjian had already jumped up with Shi Potian in his arms . As soon as Bai Wanjian set foot on the shore, more than ten people from the temple had already cheered and rushed to him. It turned out that they were the second batch of disciples from the Xueshan Sect.Seeing a young man in brocade clothes under his arm, everyone asked together: "Brother Bai, this is..." Bai Wanjian threw Shi Potian heavily to the ground, and said angrily: "Brothers, Brother Yu was lucky enough to catch the culprit. Don't you all recognize him?" Everyone looked at Shi Potian, and it was vaguely the naughty boy Shi Zhongyu in Lingxiao City back then. The crowd was very angry, some kicked him, and some spit at him.An older disciple said: "Everyone, don't hurt him. Senior Brother Bai has achieved success immediately, which is really gratifying." Bai Wanjian shook his head and said: "Although this kid was captured, he was lost. The seven younger brothers and sisters are actually not worth the loss." Everyone said and walked into the small temple.Two Xueshan disciples held Shi Potian hostage and followed up.It was a dilapidated earth temple, with neither monks nor temple blessings.The disciples of the Xueshan School figured that this temple was located in a remote place, and no one disturbed it, so it was used as a place to stay and connect. When Bai Wanjian arrived in the temple, all the juniors set out the food, let him eat his fill first, and then discussed how to proceed in the future.Although it was a discussion, but Bai Wanjian had a plan in mind, and when he said every sentence, all the juniors would obey him. Bai Wanjian said: "We have to send this kid to Lingxiao City as soon as possible, and hand it over to the leader. Even though the seven juniors and sisters are in the enemy's hands, the Changle Gang will not dare to make things difficult for them when they think that the leader is in our hands. Zhang Younger Brother, Younger Brother Wang, and Younger Zhao are from the south, they stayed in Zhenjiang City, disguised themselves, and searched for information. Fortunately, you haven’t met the Changle Gang, so they won’t recognize you.” Zhang, Wang, and Zhao agreed.Bai Wanjian said again: "Junior Brother Wang Wanyi is very smart and wise. After the three of you get in touch with him, you will follow his orders. Don't think that you got started earlier than him. Putting on senior brother's airs will ruin a big deal." Zhang Wang The three of Zhao were in awe of this senior brother Bai, and they even claimed it was him. Bai Wanjian said: "Let's wait here until it gets dark, go east to Jiangyin, cross the Yangtze River, and go around in circles to return to Lingxiao City. Although the journey is far, the Changle Gang never expected us to take this road. At this time, they must be I have already chased Jiangbei." He was very afraid of the Changle Gang, and he did not hide it.
Bai Wanjian looked around for a week, and all his fellow disciples gathered in the temple to discuss again.He sighed and said: "This time when we came to the Central Plains, although we burned Xuansu Village and captured the rebel Shi Zhongyu, the two brothers Sun and Chu died unexpectedly, and Junior Brother Geng and the others fell into the enemy's hands again. Vigorousness, in the final analysis, is always foolish brother who has no way to lead." Huyan Wanshan, the oldest among all the fellow disciples, said: "Brother Bai, don't blame yourself. In fact, the real reason is that all the brothers have not mastered martial arts. Generally, everyone is taught by the master, but in this sect, except Senior Brother Bai and Master Feng Except for the two elder brothers, all of them have only learned a little bit of master's martial arts, but not the essence of master's kung fu." Another chubby disciple Wen Wanfu said: "Let's compete on our own in Lingxiao City. They all thought they were great, but they didn't expect to come outside to find out that this is not the case. Brother Bai, we have to wait until dark before we start, there is nothing left and right, please give us some advice." All the juniors said in unison. go along. Bai Wanjian said: "Father teaches the same martial arts to all the brothers, and there is no partiality. You can see that Brother Feng practiced martial arts more diligently than me, so his martial arts are better than mine." Wen Wanfu said: "Master is absolutely impartial , Everyone knows this, I only hate that brothers are too stupid to understand the tricks." Bai Wanjian said: "The journey to Lingxiao City may not be smooth, and if we learn one more sword technique, our strength will increase. One point. Junior Brother Huyan and Junior Brother Wen, you two have passed the trick. Junior Brother Zhao and Junior Brother Wang, you should watch outside, and if you see any movement, immediately send a voice report." The two of Zhao and Wang thought that Senior Brother Bai would call for advice. I don't have such a good eye for the swordsmanship of the juniors, and I don't want it in my heart, but I dare not disobey the orders of my seniors, so I have to go out disgruntled. Huyan Wanshan and Wen Wanfu raised their spirits, raised their swords and stood facing each other.Wen Wanfu stood at the bottom and shouted: "Senior Brother Huyan, please!" Huyan Wanshan turned the hilt of his sword upside down, cupped his hands to Bai Wanjian, and said: "Senior Brother Bai, please call me." Bai Wanjian nodded.The tip of Huyan Wanshan's sword swung upwards, piercing Wen Wanfu's left shoulder obliquely, it was a move in the Xueshan School's sword technique "Old branch horizontally inclined". Plum blossoms are planted everywhere inside and outside Lingxiao City. The founder of the Xueshan School who created this set of swordsmanship was also fond of plums, so there are many plum blossoms, plum calyx, plum branches, and dried plums mixed in the swordsmanship. It is simple and elegant, and has both.Plum tree branches are valued for being withered, ugly, and ugly, while plum blossoms and plum calyx are valued for being dense and dense. Therefore, when Huyan Wanshan and Wen Wanfu exchange their long swords, sometimes their moves are simple, and sometimes their sword points are dense. You can see the fluttering snowflakes, the howl of the wind, and the quick moves, just like plum trees swaying in the wind, and the attitude of flying sand in the desert outside the Great Wall, and galloping camels are also occasionally seen in the figures of the two of them. Shi Potian was thrown aside at this time, and no one paid attention to him.Bored, he watched Huyan Wanshan and Wen Wanfu dismantle their sword techniques.His internal energy is already quite superb, but he doesn't know anything about boxing and swordsmanship. Seeing the two of you attacking and defending forward and retreating with one sword, they are very clever. Also watched with gusto. Looking at it for a while, I feel that the two long swords stabbing back and forth is like a child's play, obviously they only need to move forward to stab the opponent, but they always use up all their strength, and they stop suddenly, and the effort falls short.He thought: "These brothers are practicing swords, and they don't really want to kill each other, so naturally they won't use all their strength." Suddenly Bai Wanjian shouted: "Hold on!" He walked slowly into the hall, took the long sword in Huyan Wanshan's hand, made a gesture, and said: "This move only needs to be moved forward by two inches, and it will be done." I have won." Shi Potian said in his heart, "Yes! What Master Bai said is quite right, this sword only needs to stab two inches forward, and the victory is won. Why did that Master Huyan deliberately not stab?" Huyan Wanshan nodded and said: "Senior Brother Bai taught you well, but when my younger brother used this move 'Wind and Sand Mang' here, his internal strength was exhausted, and he could no longer stab the front half an inch." Bai Wanjian smiled slightly, and said: "Cultivation of internal strength is not achieved overnight. But the lack of internal strength can be remedied by changes in swordsmanship. To be honest, the secrets of internal strength in this school may not have special advantages. Although Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and Kunlun sects have their own strengths, after all, the Xueshan sect was founded in a short period of time, and may not be able to compare with the other great sects that have been accumulated for hundreds of years. But the swordsmanship of this sect is Strange, to be honest, there is no match in Shanghai. When you are facing the enemy, juniors, you must use your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. You must not compete with others in internal strength, and strive to win with subtle changes in your sword moves." All the juniors nodded together, thinking: "Brother Bai's words really hit the most important point in our swordsmanship." The lord of Lingxiao City and the head of the Xueshan School, Mr. Weide Bai Zizai had a chance when he was young, and he took the elixir, and his internal strength suddenly improved, which was equivalent to 50 or 60 years of ordinary people's practice.His Xueshan school's internal energy method is mediocre, but Bai Zizai's internal energy is superior to that of Shaolin and Wudang masters.However, this kind of panacea is something that cannot be found after all. Although his own internal strength is strong, all the disciples under his sect are greatly lacking in this level.Mr. Wade wants to be strong and competitive, and never mentions the shortcomings of his sect to his disciples.The Xueshan faction is the king behind closed doors in Lingxiao City, and all the disciples think that the internal and external skills of this school are invincible in the world.It wasn't until this time that they came to the Central Plains and lost consecutively, and Bai Wanjian frankly reported it, and everyone suddenly realized. At present, Bai Wanjian pointed out the subtle changes in the sword technique, move by move, and then pointed out to everyone.After Huyan Wanshan and Wen Wanfu split their moves, they replaced with two juniors.After the match between the two, Bai Wanjian ordered Huyan Wanshan and Wen Wanfu to watch outside and return to Zhao Wang. After a lot of experience, everyone deeply realized that as long as there is only one move of swordsmanship to make them lose their home, it will be the difference between life and death immediately. Each time each of them unleashes a move, the swordsmanship they use is similar.Shi Potian is smart by nature, and after listening to Bai Wanjian's continuous instruction, when the seventh pair of disciples dismantled the moves, Shi Potian had already roughly understood the seventy-two moves of the Snow Mountain Sword Art. He couldn't remember the intention, and he didn't comprehend the subtle changes in the swordsmanship, but the opponent's sword move, how to dismantle the frame, how to counterattack, what he imagined in his mind was quite in line with the essence of the Xueshan School's swordsmanship. Everyone was engrossed in learning the sword, the scholars forgot to be tired, and the spectators forgot to be hungry, until all eighteen Xueshan disciples tried it out.This set of sword techniques has been rehearsed nine times by nine pairs of disciples, and Shi Potian has memorized sixty-seven out of ten. Suddenly there was a choking sound, Bai Wanjian threw down his long sword and let out a long sigh.All the juniors looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what his move meant.He turned his eyes to Shi Potian who was lying on the ground, and said sadly: "This kid came to our school, and within two or three years, he understood the essence of this school's martial arts, compared to ten or twenty years of learning. Many of my uncles and uncles, the pure and natural moves are not as good as the moves, but the subtle changes are far worse. This school's swordsmanship originally focused on light and agile changes. It is true that Feng Shige is very proud of having this disciple. It is also blue-eyed, and I hope that he will flourish his school. Alas... alas... alas..." He sighed three times, and his regret was evident in his colors. "Qihan Northwest" Bai Wanjian's martial arts are solid, and his knowledge is also superhuman. Now he has taught eighteen juniors to practice swordsmanship for a long time. They all feel that these juniors are limited by their aptitude, so no matter how hard they study and practice, they will not be able to achieve great success. , Thinking that there are no successors in this school, I feel very sorry.Shi Zhongyu was originally a good student chosen among thousands, but he refused to learn well.At this moment, he was immersed in the changes of swordsmanship, for a moment he forgot the hatred of his master and the humiliation of his family, he couldn't help feeling very sad. Shi Potian saw that he was looking at him with a deep love and affection, although he didn't understand his deep meaning, he couldn't help being grateful in his heart. There was a moment of silence in the Earth Temple.After a while, Bai Wanjian tapped the hilt of the underground long sword lightly with his right foot, and the sword jumped up, as if alive, and jumped into his hand by itself.Holding the sword in his hand, he walked slowly to the atrium, and said loudly: "Where is the master coming? How about please come down and talk?" All the disciples in Xueshan were startled, and they thought to themselves: "The masters from the Changle gang have arrived? Why did Huyan Wanshan and Wen Wanfu watch outside, but they didn't give a warning? There was no sound from the comers, so what about Senior Brother Bai?" Know?" There was only a soft sound of clapping, and there were already two more people in the court. A man was dressed in black, and the other woman wore a snow-white dress, with a red belt around her waist and a big red flower on her temples. Not mourning.Both of them carried long swords on their backs, the man's sword had black ears floating on it, and the woman's sword had white ears floating on it.The two jumped down and landed on the ground at the same time, there was only a soft sound, they were already the first to win, and the heroic demeanor of the two made everyone's heart tremble. Bai Wanjian hung his long sword upside down, folded his sword and cupped his hands, and said loudly: "It turns out that the owner and wife of Xuansuzhuang Shizhuang have arrived." The two who jumped down were the owners of Xuansu Village, Shi Qing and Min Rou.Shi Qing showed a smile on his face, clasped his fists and said: "Senior brother Bai came to our village, the foolish couple was not welcome, I didn't show the kindness of the landlord, I'm really sorry." The Xueshan disciples who met Shi Qing and his wife in Hou Jianji have all fallen into the head of the Changle Gang, but this group of people don't know them. Hearing that it was his couple who arrived, they couldn't help muttering: "We have already burned them." Zhuangzi, I wonder if he already knows?" Unexpectedly, Bai Wanjian went straight in and said, "We came from the Western Regions to find your son. At that time, you couldn't find him. Burned." The smile on Shi Qing's face didn't diminish at all, and he said: "Our village was originally built poorly. Senior Brother Bai didn't like it, so he destroyed it with a fire on behalf of my brother. It's very good, very good! I also want to thank Senior Brother Bai for his mercy. , expelled the people in the village first, and did not burn a chicken or a dog to death, which shows the kindness of the people." Bai Wanjian said: "The maidservant Ding of your village didn't do anything wrong, how can we hurt people for no reason? Master Shizhuang, thank you so much?" Shi Qingdao: "The sages of the Snow Mountain School have always cared for children very much. They only hate that this child does not learn well, behaves mischievously, and bears the high hopes of Senior Bai, Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Bai. The foolish couple are both grateful and ashamed. Senior Bai is safe and sound. Okay? Is Mrs. Bai well?" Speaking of which, he and Min Rou bowed together to pay respects to his parents. Bai Wanjian bowed his waist to reply, and said: "My father is Anjian, but my mother is not in Lingxiao City because of your son." Having said this, he couldn't help but look worried.Shi Qingdao: "The old lady is superb in martial arts, highly respected, and has done countless good deeds in her life. Everyone in the world admires her. This time I go out for a short walk, and my body and mind will be in good health." Bai Wanjian said: "Thank you, Master Shizhuang Jin Yan, I hope so It's just that my mother is old, and the world is full of hardships. As a son, I have to worry about it." Shi Qingdao: "This is Brother Bai's filial piety. It is human nature for a son to be filial to his parents, and to be concerned about his children. Even if the children behave absurdly and unscrupulously, apart from feeling sorry for their parents, they have no choice but to take them home and discipline them severely." Bai Wanjian heard his words getting to the point, and said: "The owner of Shizhuang and his wife are heroes admired by everyone in the martial arts. There is a plaque hanging on the hall of Xuansuzhuang, and I remember writing the four characters of 'black and white'. It’s about the chivalrous mind of Shi Zhuangzhu and his wife to distinguish right from wrong and uphold justice, but it’s not just about the majesty of the two black and white swords crossing the rivers and lakes.” Shi Qing said: “That’s right. The word ‘chivalrous mind’ is shameless. But I want to We martial arts learners should never be ambiguous when it comes to right and wrong. But I don't know where the four-character wooden plaque of 'black and white' is now?" Bai Wanjian was taken aback, and then calmly said: "It's burning down! " Shi Qingdao: "Very good! If a child worships under the Xueshan sect, if he violates the rules of your sect, he should be dealt with by the master of your sect. If he beats or kills him, his parents are not allowed to intervene. This is the rule of Wulin. The couple handed the black and white swords into the hands of your faction at the Hou Jianji meeting that day, and said they would escort the child to Lingxiao City in exchange for the two swords, is there such a thing?" After meeting with Geng Wanzhong, Ke Wanjun and others, Bai Wanjian learned of this matter.On the day when Geng Wanzhong and the others had their swords taken away, at first it was believed to be the hands and feet of Shi Qing and his wife, but then they encountered a group of official sedan chair bearers who had fled back in embarrassment. , obviously it was Motian Layman Xie Yanke who was carrying the little beggar.Bai Wanjian has always heard that Xie Yanke's martial arts are extremely high and his whereabouts are uncertain. It is really a difficult task to get back the black and white swords. Hearing Shi Qing mentioning it now, he couldn't help but blushed slightly, and said: "That's right, my lord. The sword is not here, it will be dedicated to it in the future." Shi Qing laughed, and said: "Senior Brother Bai's words, but Shi Moutu is also taken lightly. The word 'black and white' is not something that Shi and his wife are particular about. You have detained the child, and you have already detained him. I don't know which rule in the martial arts is it to hold back the weapons of Shi and his wife and not return them?" Bai Wanjian said: "According to Shi Zhuangzhu, what should we do?" Shi Qing said: "Once a man speaks a word, it is hard to follow .If you want a child, you can't ask for a sword. If you want a sword, you can't ask for a person." Bai Wanjian was originally a well-known character, he believed in his promises, lost the black and white swords in the hands of this faction, he really felt ashamed of Shi Qing, it stands to reason that he should not argue with words any more.But he had discussed with Geng Wanzhong and others, speculating that maybe Shi Qing and Xie Yanke were colluding secretly, and after exchanging swords, he asked Xie Yanke to take it away.What's more, Shi Zhongyu killed his only son and beloved daughter. Now that the culprit has been captured, how can he hand her over just because of his words?Immediately said: "I can't deal with this matter on my own, Lord Shizhuang, please forgive me. As for the pair of swords of the Xian couple, they can be returned to Bai Wanjian. If Bai is incompetent and cannot hand over the black and white swords, he will go to Guizhuang I cut off my head to apologize before." This sentence was said firmly, and there was no room for change. Shi Qing knew that with his status, his words would be followed, he said he would pay for it with his life if he didn't show his swords, he had no choice but to believe it.But seeing his only son lying on the ground full of mud, he wanted to rescue him no matter what.Once Min Rou entered the palace, her eyes never left Shi Potian's body.She and Aizi had been separated for a long time, and when they met in a different place, she just wanted to rush forward and hug him in her arms, making out some affection, tears were already rolling in her eyes, almost bursting out of her eyes, let Bai Wanjian say anything, She is deaf.It's just that she has always followed her husband's advice, so she stood beside Shi Qing and never said a word. Shi Qingdao: "Senior Brother Bai is serious! What are the pair of weapons of the foolish couple? How can they be compared with Brother Bai's ten thousand gold body? It's just that we are walking on the rivers and lakes, and everything can't carry the word 'reason'. Snow Mountain School Sword Even though the law is strong and there are many people, you can't bully others, you want a sword, but you also need people! Brother Bai, this child is going to be taken away by the foolish couple today." When he said the word "Le", he moved his left shoulder slightly, That's a signal for his wife to draw her sword. With a flash of cold light, the two long swords of Shi Qing and Min Rou have stabbed towards Bai Wanjian.The two swords pierced his chest one foot away, and he stood still suddenly, as if he had froze suddenly.Shi Qing said: "Brother Bai, please!" The couple refused to make a surprise attack.If Bai Wanjian did not draw his sword to parry, the two swords would not thrust forward. Bai Wanjian stared at the tips of the two swords, and took half a step forward.The long swords in Shi Qing and Min Rou's hands shrank back, and they were still a foot away from his chest.Bai Wanjian slid a step backward, and when Shi Qing and his wife handed over the two swords, only two ding dings were heard, Bai Wanjian had already fought back with the sword, and the three long swords trembled into three clusters of sword flowers .What Shi Qing used was a long black sword, but now he used a green steel sword, which glowed green.As soon as the three swords are exchanged, the hall is filled with cold in an instant. The disciples of the Snow Mountain School have always been intimidated by Senior Brother Bai's swordsmanship, thinking that even though he is one against two, he still has a good chance of winning. Everyone holds their swords in their hands, and they all stand against the wall, watching the fight intently.At the beginning, I saw Shi Qing and Min Rou's couple attack separately, every move and every move was extremely ingenious, after sixty or seventy moves, the two moved faster and faster, they could no longer see the sword moves clearly.Bai Wanjian still uses the Seventy-two Routes of Snow Mountain Swordsmanship, after all the disciples are used to it, they seem to be ordinary, but using it against the exquisite sword moves of Shi Qing and his wife, defending and attacking at the same time, there is nothing wrong with it. A surprising sword technique produced great power under his hands. There is only one candle lit in the hall, the fire is dim, and the three figures are surrounded by three clusters of sword lights, but they are dazzling and blooming, and there is a trembling danger in the blazing fire, often a single sword strike seems to be a hair's breadth away. , and blood will splash on the temple.The sword light reflected the candlelight, and the faces of the three of them were bright and dark.Bai Wanjian's face was cold and arrogant, Shi Qing's expression was peaceful, and Min Rou's usual gentleness and tranquility remained unchanged.Just looking at the facial expressions of the three of them, there is no difference from when they saluted and greeted each other just now, but the sword moves are fierce, it is obvious that they are all fighting with all their strength. When Shi Qing and his wife came to the palace, Shi Potian recognized that Min Rou was the kind woman who gave him silver taels in Hou Jianji.As soon as he and his wife entered the palace, they talked non-stop with Bai Wanjian, and then they drew their swords to fight, but Shi Potian never had time to recognize each other. As for what the three of them said, Shi Potian didn't understand a word. He only knew that Shi Qing wanted to ask Bai Wanjian to return the two swords, and that he had a child or something. He knew about the black and white swords, but he never thought that the three of them were fighting for himself. Shi Potian had just seen the eighteen disciples of the Xueshan Sect try out their swords, at this moment he saw the three of them drew their swords again, he didn't say a word to scold or scold, but his expression was very calm, he only said that the three of them were still discussing as before Martial arts, he was already familiar with the sword skills of the Seventy-two Road Snow Mountain School, and now Bai Wanjian's moves were light, natural, nimble and fierce, and every move made him feel relaxed and happy. After watching for a while, he turned to look at Shi Qing and his wife's swordplay, and immediately found that the swordplay of the three was very different.Shi Qing opened wide and closed wide, dignified and steady; Min Rou followed the pattern and turned around, using the sword like a belt.The swordsmanship moves used by the two couples are not different, but one is strong and one is soft, one is yang and one is yin, one is always round, one is fast and the other is slow. When they met, the sword moves of the two couples seemed to complement each other and become one.He and his wife were originally brothers and sisters of the same school when they were studying arts in Shangqing, and they had a mutual affection when they were learning arts. At that time, when they practiced swordsmanship together, they already had a heart-to-heart bond. They have been married for more than 20 years and have never been separated for a day. He has never stopped practicing swords for a day, and has already reached the point where his mind is connected and he is like one person.There is no other two in the martial arts world who can compare with the experience of the separation of yin and yang in swordsmanship.Naturally, Shi Potian didn't understand such profound principles of swordsmanship. The inner strength of Shi Qing's swordsmanship and Bai Wanjian's swordsmanship were equal to each other. The two fought against each other. Bai Wanjian was no match for a long time, but Bai Wanjian's swordsmanship had a sharp and ruthless strength, and Min Rou was gentle by nature. , There is often a three-point margin when making a move, and the three talents have been fighting for so long.But don't look at Min Rou's coquettish and timid appearance, the essence of swordsmanship is not inferior to her husband.When Bai Wanjian only reached 70 strokes, he almost got hit by Min Rou's sword two times in a row, and he was already crying in his heart, but he was strong by nature, even if he died at the bottom of his wife's sword, he would rather die than surrender, but when attacking and defending, it is inevitable It is getting worse and worse. Several disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect saw that the situation was wrong, and one of them shouted loudly: "Two fight one, it's outrageous. Master Shizhuang, if you have the guts, fight alone with Senior Brother Bai. If there is a group fight, we will also fight together." We're going to swarm up." Shi Qing smiled and said, "Is Fenghuo Shenlong Senior Brother Feng here? If Senior Brother Feng is here, he could join hands with Senior Brother Bai, and the four of us will compete with swords." The implication is very clear. Feng Wanli, the rest of the people may not be able to join hands with Bai Wanjian to make a sword.The opponent in front of him is only Bai Wanjian, and his husband and wife have taken advantage of it, but if his only son is taken to Lingxiao City by him, how can he survive?What's more, there are nearly twenty people in the Snow Mountain Sect in this temple. It can be said that his husband and wife fight him with more than ten people. As for Bai Wanjian, the rest are mediocre. Who told him that there are not many people in the Snow Mountain Sect Come out with a good player? When Bai Wanjian heard him mention Feng Wanli, he was furious: "Brother Feng just took your little devil's son as his apprentice, and that's why his arm was cut off by his father. How dare you have the face to mention him?" However, masters should not lose their minds in the martial arts competition.Bai Wanjian was already in a difficult situation, this time he got angry, when he used the "Ming Camel Horse Feet" move, he couldn't help but be a bit old-fashioned.Shi Qing immediately saw the flaw, raised his sword to block it, channeled his internal energy to the edge of the sword, and slightly stuck Bai Wanjian's incoming sword.Bai Wanjian hurriedly slid away, there was only such a gap, and Min Rou's long sword had penetrated through the gap, pointing directly at Bai Wanjian's chest. Bai Wanjian closed his eyes, he knew that this sword was bound to pass through his heart, and he couldn't parry it.Unexpectedly, Min Rou's long sword was only half a foot away from his chest, and she immediately retracted it.The couple jumped back side by side, with a scraping sound, both swords were sheathed at the same time, without saying a word. 白万剑睁开眼来，脸色铁青，心想对方饶了我的性命，用意再也明白不过，那是要带了他们儿子走路，自己落败，如何再能穷打烂缠，又加阻拦？何况即使再斗，双拳难敌四手，终究斗他夫妇不过，想起爱女为他夫妇的儿子所害，自己率众来到中原，既将七名师弟妹失陷在长乐帮中，石中玉得而复失，而生平自负的雪山剑法又敌不过玄素双剑，一生英名付于流水，霎时间万念俱灰，怔怔的站着，也是不作一声。 这时呼延万善、闻万夫已得讯回庙，眼见师哥落败，齐声呼道：“他们以多斗少，难道咱们便不能学样？”十八人各挺长剑，从四面八方向石清、闵柔夫妇攻了上去。 石清道：“白师兄，我夫妇联手，虽然略占上风，胜败未分，接招！”说着挺剑向白万剑刺去。以白万剑的身分，适才对方既饶了自己性命，决不能再行索战，但石清自己发剑，却可招架，心道：“好，我和你一对一的决一死战。”当即举剑格开，斜身还招。 白万剑和石清这一斗上手，情势又自不同，适才他以一敌二，处处受到牵制，防守固是极尽严密之能事，反击之际却难以尽情发挥，攻击石清时要防到闵柔来袭，剑刺闵柔时又须回招拆架石清在旁所作的呼应。这时一人斗一人，单剑对单剑，他又耻于适才之败，登时将这七十二路雪山剑法使得淋漓尽致，全力进击。 石清暗暗吃惊：“'气寒西北'名下无虚，果是当世一等一的剑士！”提起精神，将生平所学尽数施展出来，心想：“要教你知道我上清观剑法，原不在你雪山派之下。我命儿子拜在你派门下，乃是另有深意。你别妄自尊大，以为我石清便不如你白万剑了。” 二人这一拚斗，当真是棋逢敌手。白万剑出招迅猛，剑招纵横。石清却是端凝如山，法度严谨。白万剑连变了十余次剑招，始终占不到丝毫上风，心下也是暗暗惊异：“此人剑法之高，更在他所享声名之上，然则他何以命他儿子拜在本派门下？”又想：“适才我比剑落败，还可说双拳难敌四手，现下单打独斗，若再输得一招半式，雪山派当真是声名扫地了。我非得制住他的要害，也饶他一命不可，否则奇耻难雪。”他一存着急于求胜之心，出招时不免行险。石清暗暗心喜：“你越急于求胜，只怕越易败在我的手里。” 十余招过去，果然白万剑连遇险招，他心中一凛，登时收慑心神，去奇诡而行正道，改急攻为争先着，到此地步，两人才真的是斗了个旗鼓相当，难分轩轾。 石破天在一旁看着二人相斗，虽然不明其中道理，却也看得出了神。 石清和白万剑也是斗得浑忘了身际的情事，待拆到二百余招之后，白万剑心神酣畅，只觉今日之斗实是平生一大快事，早将刚才被闵柔一剑制住之耻抛在脑后。石清也深以遇此劲敌为喜。两人自然而然都生出惺惺相惜之情，敌意渐去，而切磋之心越来越盛，各展绝技，要看对方如何拆解。 二人初斗之时，殿中叮叮当当之声响成一片，这时却唯有双剑撞击的铮铮之声。斗到分际，白万剑一招“暗香疏影”，剑刃若有若无的斜削过来。石清低赞一声：“好剑法！”竖剑一立，双剑相交。两人所使的这一招上都运上了内劲，拍的一声响，石清手中青钢剑竟尔折断。他手中长剑甫断，左边一剑便递了上来。石清左手接过，一招“左右逢源”，长剑自左至右的在身前划了一弧，以阻对方续继进击。 白万剑退后一步，说道：“此是石庄主剑质较劣，并非剑招上分了输赢。石庄主若有黑剑在手，宝剑焉能折断？倒是兄弟的不是了。”刚说了这句话，突然间脸色大变，这才发觉站在石清左首递剑给他的乃是闵柔，本派十八名师弟，却横七竖八的躺得满地都是。 原来当白万剑全神贯注的与石清斗剑之时，闵柔已将雪山派十八名弟子一一刺伤倒地。每人身上所受剑伤都极轻微，但闵柔的内力从剑尖上传了过去，直透穴道，竟使众人中剑后再也动弹不得。这是闵柔剑法中的一绝。她宅心仁善，不愿杀伤敌人，是以别出心裁，将上清观的打穴法融化在剑术之中。雪山派十八名弟子虽说是中剑，实则是受了她内力的点穴，只不过她内力未臻上乘境界，否则剑尖碰到对方穴道，便可制敌而不使其皮肉受伤。 闵柔手中长剑一递给丈夫，足尖轻拨，从地下挑起一柄雪山派弟子脱落的长剑，握在手中，站在丈夫左侧之后三步，随时便能抢上夹击。 白万剑一颗心登时沉了下去，寻思：“我和石清说甚么也只能斗个平手，石夫人再加入战团，旧事重演，还打甚么？”黯然说道：“只可惜封师哥不在这里，否则封白二人联手，当可和贤伉俪较量一场。今日败势已成，还有甚么可说？” 石清道：“不错，日后遇到风火神龙……”一句话没说完，想起封万里为了儿子石中玉之故，臂膀为他师父所斩，日后纵然遇到，也不能比剑了，登时住口，不再继续往下说，脸上不禁深有惭色，丝毫不以夫妇联手打败雪山派十九弟子为喜。
石破天见白万剑脸色铁青，显是心中痛苦之极，而石清、闵柔均有同情和惋惜之色，心想：“雪山派这十八个师弟都是笨蛋，没一个能帮他和石庄主夫妇两个斗两个，好好的比一场剑，当真十分扫兴。”想起白万剑适才凝视自己时大有爱惜之意，寻思：“白师傅对我甚好，那位石夫人给过我银子，待我也不错。他们要比剑，却少一个对手，有一位封师哥甚么的，偏偏不在这里，大家都不开心。我虽然不会甚么剑法，但刚才看也看熟了，帮他们凑凑热闹也好。”当即站起身来，学着白万剑适才的模样，足尖在地下一柄长剑的剑柄上一点，内力到处，那剑呼的一声，跃将起来。他毛手毛脚的抢着抓住剑柄，笑道：“你们少了一个人，比不成剑，我来和白师傅联手，凑个兴儿。不过我是不会的，请你们指点。” 白万剑和石清夫妇见他突然站起，都是大吃一惊。白万剑心想自己明明已点了他全身数十处穴道，怎么忽然间能迈步行动，定是闵柔在击倒本派十八弟子后，便去解开他的穴道。石清、闵柔料想白万剑既将他擒住，定然便点了他的重穴，怎么竟会走过来？闵柔叫道：“玉……”那一声“玉儿”只叫得一个字，便即住口，转眼向丈夫瞧去。 石破天被白万剑点了穴道，躺在地下已有两个多时辰。本来白万剑点了旁人穴道，至少要六个时辰方得解开，可是石破天内功深厚，虽然不会自解穴道之法，但不到一个时辰，各处所封穴道在他内力自然运行之下，不知不觉的便解开了。他浑浑噩噩，全然不知，只觉本来手足麻木，不会动弹，后来慢慢的都会动了。 白万剑大声道：“你为甚么要和我联剑？要试试你在雪山派所学的剑法？” 石破天心想：“我确是看你们练剑而学到了一些，就只怕学错了。”便点了点头，道：“我学的也不知学对了没有，请白师傅和石庄主、石夫人教我。”说着长剑斜起，站在白万剑身侧，使的正是雪山剑法中一招“双驼西来”。 石清、闵柔夫妇一齐凝视石破天，他们自送他上凌霄城学剑，已有多年不见，此刻异地重逢，中间又渗着许多爱怜、喜悦、恼恨、惭愧之情，当真是百感交集。夫妇俩见儿子长得高了，身子粗壮，脸上虽有风尘憔悴之色，却也掩不住一股英华飞逸之气，尤其一双眸子精光灿然，便似体内蕴蓄有极深的内功一般。 石清身为严父，想到武林中的种种规矩，这不肖子大坏玄素庄门风，令他夫妇在江湖上羞于见人，这几年来，他夫妇只是暗中探访他的踪迹，从不和武林同道相见。他此刻见到父母，居然不上前拜见，反要比试武艺，单此一事，足见雪山派说他种种轻佻不端的行径当非虚假，不由得暗暗切齿，只是他向来极沉得住气，又碍于在白万剑之前，一时不便发作。 闵柔却是慈母心肠，欢喜之意，远过恼恨。她本来生有两子，次子为仇家所害惨死，伤心之余，将疼爱两子之心都移注在这长子石中玉身上。她常对丈夫为儿子辩解，说雪山派一面之辞未必可信，定是儿子在凌霄城中受人欺凌，给逼得无可容身，多半还是白自在的孙女恃宠而骄，欺压得他狠了，因而愤而反抗。否则他小小年纪，怎会做出这种贪淫犯上的事来？何况白家的女孩儿当时只十二三岁，中玉也不会对这样的小姑娘胡作非为。数年中风霜江湖，一直没得到儿子的讯息，她时时暗中饮泣，总担心儿子已葬身于西域大雪山中，又或是膏于虎狼之吻，此刻乍见爱子，他便是有天大的过犯，在慈母心中早就一切都原谅了。但见他提剑而出，步履轻健，身形端稳，不由得心花怒放，恨不得将他搂在怀里，好好的疼他一番。她知这个儿子从小便狡狯过人，既说要和白万剑联手比剑，定是另有深意，她深恐丈夫恼怒之下，出声叱责，又想看看儿子这些年来武功进境到底如何，当即说道：“好啊，咱们四个便二对二的研讨一下武功，反正是点到为止，也没甚么相干。”语音柔和，充满了爱怜之意，只是心下激动，话声却也颤了。 石清向妻子斜视了一眼，点了点头。闵柔性子和顺，甚么事都由丈夫作主，自来不出甚么主意，但她偶尔说甚么话，石清倒也总不违拗。他猜想妻子的心意，一来是急于要瞧儿子的武功，二来是要白万剑输得心服，谅来石中玉小小年纪，就算聪明，剑法也高不过那些被闵柔点倒的雪山派众师叔，何况他决计不会真的帮着白万剑出力与父母相抗。 白万剑却另有一番主意：“你以雪山派剑法和我联手抗敌，便承认是雪山派弟子。不论这场比剑结果如何，只须我不为你一家三人所杀，待得取出雪山派掌门人令符，你便非得跟我回山不可。石清夫妇若再阻挠，那更是坏了武林中的规矩。”当下长剑一举，说道：“是二对二也好，是三对一也好，白某人反正是玄素双剑的手下败将，再来舍命陪君子便是。”他已定下死志，倘若他石家三人向自己围攻逼迫，那便说甚么也要杀了石中玉，只须不求自保，舍命杀他谅来也办得到。 石破天见他长剑剑尖微颤，斜指石清，当是似攻实守，便道：“那么是由我抢攻了。”长剑也是微颤，向石清右肩刺去，一招刺出，陡然间剑气大盛。这一剑去势并不甚急，但内力到处，只激得风声嗤嗤而响，剑招是雪山剑法，内力之强却远非白万剑所能及。 白万剑、石清、闵柔三人同时不约而同的低声惊呼：“咦！” 石破天这一剑刺出，白万剑初见便微生卑视之意，心想：“你这一招'云横西岭'，右肘抬得太高，招数易于用老；左指部位放得完全不对，不含伸指点穴的后着；左足跨得前了四寸，敌人若施反击，便不惧你抬左足踢他胫骨……”他一眼之间，便瞧出了石破天这一招中八九处错失，但霎时之间，卑视立时变为错愕。石破天这一招剑气之劲，真是生平罕见，只有父亲酒酣之余，向少数几名得意弟子试演剑法之时，出剑时才有如此嗤嗤声响，但那也要在三四十招之后，内力渐渐凝聚，方能招出生风。石破天这般起始发剑便有疾风厉声，难道剑上装有哨子之类的古怪物事么？ 他这念头只是一转，便知所想不对，只见石清“咦”了一声之后，举剑封挡，喀的一声响，石清手中长剑立时断为两截。上半截断剑直飞出去，插入墙中，深入数寸。 石清只觉虎口一热，膀子颤动，半截剑也险些脱手。他虽恼恨这个败子，但练武之人遇上了武功高明之士，忍不住会生出赞佩的念头，一个“好”字当下便脱口而出。 石破天见石清的长剑断折，却吃了一惊，叫声：“啊哟！”立即收剑，脸上露出歉仄和关怀之意。这时他脸向烛火，这般神色都教石清、闵柔二人瞧在眼里。夫妇二人心中都闪过一丝暖意：“玉儿毕竟还是个孝顺儿子！” 石清抛去断剑，用足尖又从地下挑起一柄长剑，说道：“不用顾忌，接招罢！”刷的一剑，向石破天左腿刺去。石破天毕竟从来没练过剑术，内力虽强，在进攻时尚可发威力，一遇上石清这种虚虚实实、忽左忽右的剑法，却哪里能接得住？一招间便慌了手脚，总算心念转得甚快，手忙脚乱的使招“苍松迎客”，横剑挡去。 石清长剑略斜，剑锋已及他右腿，倘若眼前这人不是他亲生儿子，而是个须杀之而后快的死敌，这一剑已将石破天右腿斩为两截。他长剑轻轻一抖，闵柔却已吓出了一身冷汗，急叫：“清哥！” 石破天眼望自己右腿时，但见裤管上已被划开一道破口，却没伤到皮肉，他歉然笑道：“多谢你手下留情，我的剑法学得全然不对，比你可差得远了！” 他这句话出于真心，但言者无意，听者有心，语入白万剑耳中，直是一万个不受用，心道：“你向父亲说你剑法比他差得甚远，岂非明明在贬低雪山派剑法？又说学得全然不对，便是说我们雪山派藏私，没好好教你。只一句话，便狠狠损了雪山派两下。白万剑但教一口气在，岂能受你这小子奚落折辱？” 石清也是眉头微蹙，心想：“师妹老是说玉儿在雪山派中必受师叔、师兄辈欺凌，我想白老前辈为人正直，封万里肝胆侠义，既收我儿为徒，决不能亏待了他。但瞧他使这两招剑法，姿式已然不对，中间更是破绽百出，如何可以临敌？似乎他在凌霄城中果然没学到甚么真实武功。他先一剑内力强劲之极，但这份内力与雪山派定然绝无干系，便威德先生自己也未必有此造诣，必是他另有奇遇所致。到底如何，须得追究个水落石出，日后也好分辨是非曲直。”当下说道：“来来来，大家不用有甚么顾忌，好好的比剑。”左手捏个剑诀，向前一指，挺剑向白万剑刺去。 白万剑举剑格开，还了一剑。 闵柔便伸剑向石破天缓缓刺去，她故意放缓了去势，好让儿子不致招架不及。石破天见她这一剑来势甚缓，想起当年侯监集上赠银之情，咧开了嘴向她一笑，又点头示谢，这才提剑轻轻一挡。闵柔见他神情，只道他是向母亲招呼，心中更喜，回剑又向他腰间掠去。石破天想了一想：“这一招最好是如此拆解。”当下使出一招雪山剑法，将来剑格开。 闵柔见他剑法生疏之极，出招既迟疑，递剑时手法也是嫩极，不禁心下难过：“雪山派这些剑客们自命侠义不凡，却如此的教我儿剑法！”于是又变招刺他左肩。她每一招递出，都要等石破天想出了拆解之法，这才真的使实，倘若他一时难以拆解，她便慢慢的等待。这哪是比剑？比之师徒间的喂招，她更多了十二分慈爱，十二分耐心。 十余招后，石破天信心渐增，拆解快了许多。闵柔心中暗喜，每当他一剑使得不错，便点头嘉许。石破天早看出她在指点自己使剑，倘若闵柔不点头，那便重使一招，闵柔如认为他拆解不善，仍会第三次以同样招式进击，总要让他拆解无误方罢。 这边厢石清和白万剑三度再斗，两人于对方的功力长短，心下均已了然，更不敢有丝毫怠忽。数招之后，两人都已重行进入全神专注、对周遭变故不闻不见的境界，闵柔和石破天如何拆招、是真斗还是假斗、谁占上风谁处败势，石白二人固然无暇顾及，却也无法顾及，在这场厘毫不能相差的拚斗中，只要哪一个稍有分心，立时非死即伤。 闵柔于指点石破天剑法之际，却尽有余暇去看丈夫和白万剑的厮拚。她静听丈夫呼吸悠长，知他内力仍然充沛，就算不胜，也决不会落败，眼见石破天一剑又一剑的将雪山剑法演完，七十二路剑法中忘却了二十来路，于是又顺着他剑法的路子，诱导他再试一遍。 石破天第二遍再试，比之第一次时便已颇有进境，居然能偶尔顺势反击，拆解之时也快了些。他堪堪把学到的四十几路剑法第二次又将拆完，闵柔见丈夫和白万剑仍在激斗，心想：“把这套剑拆完后，便该插手相助，不必再跟这白万剑纠缠下去，带了玉儿走路便是。”眼见石破天一剑刺来，便举剑挡开，跟着还了一招，料想这一招的拆法儿子已经学会
