Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Laba Congee

On the fifth day of December, Granny Shi led a group of Shi Qing, Min Rou, Bai Wanjian, Shi Potian, Axiu, Cheng Zixue, Qi Zimian, Liang Zijin, etc. to a small fishing village on the coast of the South China Sea. When Granny Shi left Lingxiao City, she ordered Geng Wanzhong to act as head and city lord, with Wang Wanyi and Huyan Wanshan as assistants.Fenghuo Shenlong Feng Wanli participated in the rebellion against his teacher, although he was forced by the situation, but Bai Wanjian and other long-door disciples ignored him any more.Granny Shi brought Cheng Zixue, Qi Zimian, and Liang Zijin along with her, in order to prevent the children of each branch from plotting rebellion again.Liao Zili was seriously injured and lost all his martial arts.

On the back of the two bronze medals sent by Xia Ke Island, the date, time and route of arriving at the fishing village are engraved.Presumably, the bronze medals each person got were engraved with different dates and places of gatherings, so when Granny Shi and the others arrived, they found that the fishing village was empty, and there were no other heroes of the rivers and lakes. Not even a fishing boat. Everyone temporarily rested in a hut.In the evening, suddenly a man in yellow came to the fishing village with a wooden paddle in his hand, and said loudly: "The welcome envoy of the Knight Island, by the order of the island owner, I respectfully invite the leader of the Changle Gang to set off."

Granny Shi and others walked out of the house upon hearing the sound.The man walked up to Shi Potian, bowed and saluted, and said: "This must be the leader of Shi Gang." Shi Potian said: "Exactly. What's your surname?" "Shi Potian said: "I have some teachers and friends who want to go to Guidao for sightseeing together." The man said: "This is embarrassing. The boat can't bear the heavy load. The island owner issued a strict order, and only Shi Gang leader is welcome to go. Carry one more person, the boat will capsize, and the villain will lose his head."

Granny Shi sneered and said, "It's up to now, I'm afraid you can't help it anymore." As she said this, she leaned forward and put her hand on the handle of the knife. The man ignored Granny Shi, and said to Shi Potian: "Little man leads the way, Lord Shi please." Turn around and go.Shi Potian, Granny Shi, Shi Qing and others followed behind.I saw him walking along the seashore, turning around two valleys, and a small boat was moored by the beach.This small boat is no more than three feet wide and six feet long, it is really too small, it is hard to say whether it can accommodate two people, it is obviously impossible to carry one more person.

The man said: "Everyone wants to kill the villain, it's just a matter of lifting a finger. If anyone knows the sea journey to the Knight Island, you can take Tongshi to go there." Granny Shi and Shi Qing looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect that the Knights Island is so carefully arranged, and it is absolutely impossible to even go to one more person.Everyone has only heard the name of Knight Island, but as for where the island is located in the south and north, and where it is nearby, they have never heard the slightest news. The sailors and sea travelers who have gone abroad may not know it, but how can they find it in the vast sea?Looking around, there is no ship in the sea, and it is impossible to follow it by boat.

Grandma Shi was frightened and furious, she stretched out her palm and slapped the man's head, she stopped halfway, and said to Shi Potian, "Disciple, give me the bronze medal, and I will go for you, the old lady will go no matter what." Die with the old lunatic." The man in yellow said: "The owner of the island has an order. If you pick up the wrong person, the villain will be beheaded. It's so exhausting that the villain's parents, wives and children will be beheaded." Granny Shi said angrily: "Just behead it, what's so special?" As soon as the words came out, she thought in her heart: "I don't care about it myself, but this guy is rare." Then she made another plan and said: "Disciple , then you give me the position of the leader of the Changle Gang, and I am the leader of the gang, so it is not considered that he has picked up the wrong person."

Shi Potian hesitated and said, "This...I'm afraid..." The man said: "The two envoys who reward the good and punish the evil have made it clear that the leader of the Changle Clan is a young hero with a weak crown, not a respectable old mother-in-law." Granny Shi said angrily, "Fuck your shit! How can you do that?" Do you know that I am tall and virtuous? Although I am old, my virtue is not great!" The man smiled slightly, walked to the seaside, and untied the ship's cable. Granny Shi sighed, and said: "Okay, apprentice, you go, you listen to what Master has to say." Shi Potian said: "Observe Master's orders." Granny Shi said: "If there is a chance of survival, you must Escape on your own, and don't put yourself in a desperate situation just to save Grandpa. This is a strict order of the teacher and must not be violated."

Shi Potian was stunned and puzzled: "Why doesn't Master want me to save her husband? Does she still hold grudges in her heart?" Thinking that Grandpa must be saved, he didn't agree to Granny Shi's words. Granny Shi said again: "Go and tell the old lunatic that I will wait for him here for three months until the eighth day of March next year. If he doesn't meet me here, I will jump into the sea and die. If he says anything else, go Biluoshan's nonsense, I will be a ghost and not spare him." Shi Potian nodded and said: "Yes!" Axiu said: "Brother, I... I am the same, I will wait for you here for three months. If you don't come back, I will... jump into the sea with grandma." Shi Potian's heart was sweet and miserable , hurriedly said: "You don't have to do this." Axiu said: "I want to do this." These four words were said in a very low voice, but they were full of determination without regret.

Min Ju said: "Son, I hope you come back safely. Everyone is here to pray for you." Shi Potian said: "Madam Shi, take care of yourself, don't worry about your son, he will get better with Mr. Xie. You don't have to worry about it." I'm worried that I, the leader of the Changle Gang, is a fake, maybe they will let me back. Zhang San and Li Si are my sworn brothers again, if there is a real crisis, they can't just ignore it." Min Rou said: "I hope so ” But he thought in his heart: “This kid doesn’t know that people in martial arts are sinister, how can this kind of Jinlan’s sworn brotherhood be taken seriously?”

Shi Qingdao: "Little brother, if you fight with someone on the island, you just use your internal strength to fight fiercely, don't care about any tricks and saber techniques." He thought that Shi Potian's amazing internal strength, the chance of survival depends entirely on this.Shi Potian said: "Yes. Thank you, Master Shizhuang, for your guidance." Bai Wanjian took his hand and said: "Son-in-law, we are a family now. My father is old, you must take care of him more." Shi Potian couldn't help blushing when he heard him call himself "Son-in-law" , Said: "I understand this."

Only Cheng Zixue, Qi Zimian, and Liang Zijin were full of schadenfreude, thinking: "In the past 30 years, three groups of martial arts masters have gone to Knight Island, but I have never heard of a single person returning alive. How can there be an exception?" But they also said some perfunctory words such as "be careful" and "please take care of the master". At that moment, Shi Potian broke up with everyone and went to the beach.When everyone sent to the shore, Axiu and Min Rou's eyes were already red. Granny Shi suddenly rushed to the man in yellow, slapped him, slapped him heavily, and shouted: "You are rude to your elders, I will teach you what is good and bad!" The man didn't fight back, stroked his cheek, smiled slightly, and stepped into the boat.Shi Potian raised his hand to bid farewell to everyone, and followed them onto the boat.The small boat carried two people, the side of the boat was only a few inches away from the sea, it really couldn't carry one more person, luckily it was cold winter and the South China Sea was calm, otherwise the small boat would inevitably capsize.Maybe that's why Knights Island chose the twelfth lunar month as the time for the gathering. The man took a few oars, pulled the boat away from the beach, turned the bow, pulled up a yellow triangular sail, and headed south with the north wind blowing slowly. Shi Potian looked to the north, but saw Granny Shi, Axiu and others were getting smaller, standing on the cliff by the beach and staring.Until everyone is reduced to tiny black dots, finally no longer visible.
After nightfall, the boat turned southeast.After sailing in the sea for three days, at noon on the fourth day, it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The man pointed to a black line ahead and said, "That's the Island of Knights." Shi Potian took a close look, but he didn't see anything unusual, but his heart couldn't help beating. After sailing for more than an hour, I saw a towering rocky mountain on the island, which was lush and full of trees.At the time of applying for the license plate, the boat sailed to the leeward part of the island and docked.The man said: "Master Stone, please!" I saw that there is a big beach in the south of the island, and there are more than forty boats, big and small, moored under the rocky cliff at the east end.Shi Potian's heart moved: "There are many boats here, if you can save your life on the island and escape here to grab a small boat, it will not be difficult to escape." He immediately jumped ashore. The man lifted the ship's cable, jumped ashore, tied the cable to a big rock, took out a conch from his bosom, and blew a few times.After a while, four men in yellow cloth and short clothes ran out from behind the mountain, walked quickly to Shi Potian, bowed and said: "The island owner is waiting for you at the guest house, please come to Shi Potian." Shi Potian was concerned about Bai Zizai, and asked: "Has Mr. Weide, the leader of the Xueshan School, arrived?" The leader of the man in yellow said: "The villain is dedicated to serving Lord Shi, so I don't know much about other people's affairs. Lord Shi will arrive soon." In the guest house, I will know." Then he turned around and led the way.Shi Potian followed behind.The remaining four men in yellow clothes walked seven or eight steps away and followed behind him. After turning into the mountain, there are forests on both sides, and a mountain path passes through the forest.Shi Potian paid attention to the surrounding scenery, in case he would not lose his way when he escaped for his life.After walking for a few miles, I turned into a rocky mountain road, facing a deep stream on the left, with rushing water and the sound of crashing rocks.All the way along the mountain stream, it gradually got higher and higher. After turning two turns, I saw a waterfall hanging down from a height of more than ten feet. It seems that this waterfall is the source of the mountain stream. The man who led the way took off a hanging oilcloth raincoat from behind a big tree by the road, handed it to Shi Potian, and said: "The guest house is built in Shuile Cave, please put on a raincoat, Master Shi Gang, so as not to wet your clothes." .” Shi Potian took it and put it on, only to see the man walk into the waterfall and jump in, Shi Potian followed suit.Inside was a long corridor with oil lamps on both sides. Although the light was dim, the path could still be discerned. Immediately, he walked behind him.The corridor is built according to the natural cave in the middle of the mountain. The artificially excavated place is very narrow, but sometimes it suddenly opens up, only to feel that it is getting lower and lower, and there is the sound of flowing water in the cave. chime.There are many side roads in the cave, Shi Potian memorized them carefully. After walking for more than two miles in the cave, a jade gate suddenly appeared, with three large characters carved on the forehead, Shi Potian asked: "Is this the guest house?" The man said: "Exactly." Feeling a little strange in my heart: "It's written clearly here, why bother to ask more questions? Maybe you don't know how to read?" Little did he know that Shi Potian didn't know a single word. Walking into the jade cave gate, the underground bluestone slabs are very neatly paved.The man led Shi Potian into a cave on the left, and said: "Master Shi Gang, please rest here for a while, after the banquet, the island master will meet Shi Gang master." There are all tables and chairs in the cave, and three red candles illuminate the cave brightly.A child offers green tea and four-color snacks. As soon as Shi Potian saw the food, he remembered that when he came to the south, Shi Qing urged him several times: "Little brother, in the past thirty years, countless heroes with extraordinary skills have gone to the island of knights, and none of them came back alive. Think about that Although the characters on the Knights Island are great, they can't catch all the top heroes in the martial arts. According to my guess, the island must have used despicable methods, either by setting traps, or by making a show in the diet. They openly claim to invite people to drink Laba porridge. Since this bowl of Laba porridge attracts everyone's attention, it may not be very strange. It is an ordinary tea snack, green vegetables and rice, but it must be guarded against. It's just that the reasoning is very shallow. I Shi Qing Imagine, how could those leaders of the famous sect not think of it? When they went to the Knights Island, they had all kinds of antidote, why everyone was poisoned in the end, it is really incomprehensible. You are kind-hearted, or you are lucky. , so as not to suffer bad retribution, all you have to do is be careful.” He thought of Shi Qing's advice, but when he smelled the aroma of dim sum, he thought: "I'm so hungry, I can't come to the island and don't eat or drink anything? Brothers Zhang San and Li Si became sworn brothers with me, Jinlan. I once made a solemn oath, to share the blessings and suffer together, if they want to harm me, wouldn’t it be the same as harming themselves?” Immediately, I ate four dishes of dim sum, including siu mai, spring rolls, pancakes, and steamed cakes, and I didn’t eat any of them. I drank more than half of a pot of tea. After sitting in the cave for more than an hour, he suddenly heard the sound of bells, drums, silk and bamboo.The man who led the way walked to the entrance of the cave, bowed and said: "Island Master invites Gang Master Shi to the banquet." Shi Potian stood up and followed him out. After passing through several stone caves, the sound of bells, drums, silk and bamboo was louder, and the eyes suddenly became bright. I saw a large cave full of tallow candles, and there were about a hundred tables in the cave.Guests are coming in.This cave is so big, even though there are so many tables, it is still not crowded.Hundreds of men in yellow clothes came and went, guiding the guests to their seats.All the guests occupy their own seats, and there are no hosts to accompany them.After all the guests sat down, the music stopped. Shi Potian looked around, and at a glance he saw Bai Zizai sitting majestically, with white hair and desolate appearance, but with a mighty demeanor, sitting among all the heroes, because of his extra tall stature, he seemed to stand out from the crowd.That day in the stone prison, it was dim and hazy, Shi Potian didn't see his face clearly, now under the light of the candle, seeing this Mr. Wade really looks solemn like a god statue in the temple, which makes people awe-inspiring, Then he walked up to him and said, "Grandpa, I'm coming!" Although there were a lot of people in the hall, the receptionists of the main party tried to keep their voices down as much as possible, all the guests thought that their fate was imminent, everyone's heart was heavy, and they were shocked by the prestige of the Knight Island, and no one said a word.When Shi Potian yelled so suddenly, everyone looked at him. Bai Zizai snorted, and said, "You brat who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, you're so exhausting that my natal family's great-grandson is gone." Shi Potian was startled, and after a long while, he understood what he meant. It turned out that he would not be able to have a biological child with Axiu because he also came to Xiake Island to die, and said: "Grandpa, grandma is waiting for you in the fishing village by the sea. For three months, if you don't see your face by the eighth day of March, she...she will throw herself into the sea." Bai Zizai raised his eyebrows and said, "Is she not going to Biluo Mountain?" Shi Potian said, "Listen, grandma. When you say that, you are so angry, she scolds you... scolds you..." Bai Zizai said: "What are you scolding me?" Shi Potian said: "She called you an old lunatic. She called Ding Busi such a frivolous ghost Talking around, making rumors and deceiving people, you old lunatic is not smart enough to believe him. Grandma said that when she saw Ding Busi, she would cut off one of his arms and his tongue with the Golden Crow knife .” Bai Zizai laughed loudly and said, “That’s right, that’s right, that’s exactly how it should be.” Suddenly, a person in the corner of the hall whimpered and said: "Why did she scold me like that? When did I treat her lightly? I am sincere to her, and I will not marry until I grow old, but she...she has a heart like a stone, and even Bi Luoshan would not take a single step." Shi Potian looked to where the voice came from, and saw Ding Busi leaning on the table with both arms, trembling all over, tears streaming down his face.Shi Potian thought, "He's here too. He's so old, he's crying in public, but he's not shy?" In normal times, all the heroes would inevitably laugh at each other, but at this moment, everyone knew that bad luck was coming, and they all wanted to hurt themselves, so they wanted to cry together, so no one laughed.These heroes are either the head of a famous sect, or the leader of a gang. They have spent their whole lives rolling over swords and swords. The word "fear of death" can't be placed on them, but their lives are related by a knife and a gun. If you fight, you may not die. What's more, if you rely on your martial arts skills, you always think of the enemy's death and your own life.This time the situation is quite different. He knows that he must die when he comes to the island, but he doesn't know how to die.The fate of death coupled with doubts and fears is much more embarrassing than the scene of facing a big enemy and confronting open guns in the past. Suddenly, a hoarse woman in the west corner sneered with a sneer: "Huh, huh! What kind of sincerity, why don't you marry when you are old? Ding Busi, you are so shameless! If you are really sincere to Shi Xiaocui, why are you talking to my sister? Give birth to a daughter?" In an instant, Ding Busi's face was flushed and he looked extremely embarrassed. He stood up and asked: "You...you...who are you? How do you know?" The woman said: "She is my own sister, why don't I Know? What about the girl, dead or alive?" With a sound of tumbling, Ding Busi sat down slumped, and with a sound of click, a pear wood chair was shaken until all four legs were broken. The woman asked sharply, "Where is the girl? Dead or alive? Tell me quickly." Ding Busi murmured, "I...how do I know?" The woman said, "When my sister was dying, Order me to find you, find out the whereabouts of that girl, and ask me to take care of this girl. You... you are a wolf-hearted stinky thief, you have ruined my sister's life, but you still miss other people's wives." Ding Busi's face was ashen, his knees were sore and weak, the chair he was sitting on broke early, and it was all supported by his legs. In this way, his body immediately sat down. Fortunately, he was very skilled in martial arts, and he flicked lightly with his feet. , that is, stand straight. The woman said sharply, "Is that girl dead or alive?" Ding Busi said, "Twenty years ago, she was alive, but I don't know later." The woman said, "Why don't you go to her?" ?" Ding Busi had no words to answer, but said: "This... this... is not easy to find. Some people say that she has arrived at the Knight Island, but I don't know if it is true." Shi Potian saw that the woman was short in stature, her face was covered with a thick layer of black veil, she couldn't see her features clearly, but for some reason, this fierce and domineering, murderous Ding Busi was very scared when he saw her.
Suddenly the sound of bells and drums rang loudly, and a man in a yellow shirt said loudly: "The two island masters, Long Island Master and Wood Island Master, are honored to see the guests." The hearts of all the guests were shocked, everyone didn't know that there were two island owners in Xia Ke Island until now, one surnamed Long and the other surnamed Mu. The middle door opened, and two rows of tall and short men and women came out. The one on the right was dressed in yellow, and the one on the left was dressed in blue.The praiser shouted: "Master Long Island and Master Mu Island, all the disciples are here to meet the distinguished guests." I saw that the two envoys who rewarded good and punished evil who distributed bronze medals were also mixed among the disciples. Zhang San wore yellow and ranked eleventh from the right, and Li Si wore blue and ranked thirteenth from the left. After the two died, there were more than twenty people each.Everyone gasped involuntarily.Everyone has seen the martial arts of Zhang San and Li Si with their own eyes, but they have so many brothers from the same sect, and they are all in the same martial arts. They all thought: "No wonder they are thirty Over the years, all the heroes who have come to Xia Ke Island have come and gone. Not to mention other people, just need to reward the good and punish the evil. How many of us famous people in the Central Plains martial arts can be in their hands? Can you walk more than twenty moves?" The two rows of disciples stood on the left and right, and bowed respectfully to the heroes together.The heroes returned the gift immediately.When Zhang San and Li Si were distributing the bronze medals in the Central Plains, they talked and laughed and killed people. With a single gesture of their hands, they often slaughtered the entire sect and gang. Now when they returned to the island, they turned their eyes on each other and were extremely respectful. Amidst the soft music, two old men walked out side by side, one in yellow and the other in blue, and the praiser shouted: "My island lord welcomes all distinguished guests." Long island lord and Mu island lord bowed On the ground, all the heroes returned the gift one after another. The Dragon Island Master wearing a yellow robe laughed and said: "Brothers Zai Xia and Mu are on a deserted island. Today, I am very honored to see all the sages. It's just that on the deserted island, everything is simple and the hospitality is very simple. Forgive me, Wei Zhou." His voice was very peaceful, but he spoke with a Zhongzhou accent on the island of chivalrous men hanging in the South China Sea.Master Mu Dao said: "Everyone, please sit down." His voice was sharp, and he seemed to be from Fujian and Guangzhou. After the heroes were seated, the two island masters, Longmu, sat down at a table next to the masters on the west side.All the disciples had no seats, so they stood with their hands down. All the heroes thought: "Xiaker Island treats guests very overbearingly. If the guests don't come, they will kill them all. But when they come to De Island, the etiquette is very thoughtful and hypocritical, but they seem to be fake. Just look at them. What is the next step?" Some thought: "When the prisoner is taken out to beheaded, we should also give him a meal and comfort him. The banquet in front of us is our beheading meal. " When everyone looked at the two island masters, they saw that Long Island Master had white eyebrows and a ruddy complexion, like a child; the Wooden Island Master's long beard was sparse, and he was more or less black and white, but his face was full of wrinkles.It is really impossible to tell how old the two are, they are always between sixty and ninety years old, it is not surprising to say that both of them are over a hundred years old. As soon as everyone is seated, the deacons on the island will come up to pour the wine, and then serve the dishes.There are four plates and four bowls on each person's table, eight-color dishes, chicken, meat, fish, shrimp, all cooked to a fragrant aroma, and there seems to be nothing unusual. Shi Potian calmed down, and looked around at the guests who were seated at each table, and saw that Taoist Tianxu, the master of the Shangqing Temple, had arrived; Fan Yifei, Fengliang, Lu Zhengping, and Gao Sanniang from the Four Great Schools of the Guandong School had also arrived.These people were worried, and when they met Shi Potian's eyes, they only nodded, but they didn't say hello. Island Master Longmu Er raised his wine glass and said, "Please!" The two drank it down in one gulp. Haoxiong saw that the wine in the glass was green and oily, although the wine was very fragrant, they each muttered in their hearts: "I don't know how powerful the poison is in this wine." Most of them raised their glasses and touched their lips. They didn't drink, only A few people thought: "The other party wants to harm me, but it's just a matter of raising a hand. It doesn't matter if the wine is poisonous or not. Anyway, it's a death, so it's better to be generous." Fill up. After toasting three glasses of wine, Island Master Longmu Er raised his left hand.A group of servants filed out of the inner hall, and each took out a large bowl and a large bowl of hot porridge on lacquer plates, and placed them in front of the guests. All the heroes thought: "This is the famous Laba porridge that has changed color in the rivers and lakes." I saw steam rising from the hot porridge, and there were bubbles coming up from the bottom of the porridge, and the whole bowl of porridge was dark green. Unspeakably weird.Originally, the ingredients in the Laba porridge were red dates, lotus seeds, citrus seeds, dried longan, red beans, etc., but the vegetables in the porridge in front of me were not like vegetables, the grass was not like grass, and some seemed to be finely chopped trees. The roots, some of which seem to be cassava pressed into flat slices, have a very strong medicinal smell.Everyone knows that most poisonous substances are green in color, this bowl of porridge is so dark green, it only reflects the people's faces, and the smell of the medicine is pungent, so the poison can be seen. As soon as the lady in the third year of high school smelled the smell of the medicine, she couldn't help but feel hairy. Thinking of how many poisonous snakes, centipedes, spiders, and scorpions were put into the pot when cooking the Laba porridge, she couldn't help but vomited, and hurriedly pushed the porridge bowl to the table. , Cover your nose with your hand. Master Longdao said: "Everyone came from afar, I have no respect for you on this island. This bowl of Laba porridge is not easy to drink outside, and the most important thing is 'heart-breaking and bone-rotting grass', which can be used after it blooms. It only blooms once every ten years. We always have to wait for it to bloom before we invite our comrades from all walks of life to come here to share, counting on our fingers, this is the fourth invitation. Please, please, you are welcome." Said He Mudao The left hand holds the porridge bowl, and the right hand holds up the chopsticks to invite. When everyone heard the name "heart-breaking, bone-corroding, heart-breaking grass", they all felt a sudden shock in their hearts.Although no one planned to leave alive after arriving on the island, the name of the poisonous weed contained in the Laba porridge was so shocking that the Dragon Island Master publicly revealed it, and everyone couldn't help but change color. I saw the two island masters of Longmu raised their chopsticks and drew a circle towards everyone, signaling to invite everyone, then raised their bowls and started to eat.The heroes thought to themselves: "In your two bowls of porridge, there must be a big tonic like ginseng and bird's nest." Suddenly, a big man in the east stood up abruptly, pointing his halberd at Longmu and shouted: "Long and Mu, listen up: I, Xie Wenbao from Kansai, had already taken care of the funeral before I came to Xiarong Island. Xie is upright You guys who want to kill and cut into pieces, how can someone surnamed Xie frown? You want me to eat and drink such filthy poison, but I absolutely can’t!" Island Master Long was stunned, and said with a smile: "Xie Yingxiong doesn't like porridge, how dare we fight each other? But why get angry? Please sit down." Xie Wenbao shouted: "The one surnamed Xie risked his life early. If he dies sooner or later, isn't it a death? He just wants to offend you bullshit men and women who are tyrannical and do harm to the world!" He picked up the hot porridge on the table, Throw it in the face of Dragon Island Master. An old man standing two tables away suddenly stood up and shouted: "Brother Xie Xian, don't be rough!" With a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind came out, blocking the bowl of porridge in midair.The bowl of porridge no longer flew forward, after a short pause, it fell down, seeing a big blue and white bowl about to break into pieces, a bowl of porridge splashed all over the floor.A servant who was pouring wine leaned forward, bowed his waist and stretched out his long arms, and picked up the sea bowl. At that time, the bottom of the bowl was only a few inches from the ground, which was extremely dangerous. The heroes couldn't help cheering loudly: "What a handsome skill!" As soon as the applause ended, the faces of the heroes became more worried, and they all thought: "A servant serving wine has such skills, how can we go back alive?" Some people think about their children and grandchildren's property; The time for the banquet on the island is coming to an end, why not hide in the deep mountains as soon as possible?I have always been lucky, hoping that the bronze medal for the banquet will not be handed to me. When disaster strikes, I also hope that the Knight Island is not as powerful as the rumors. The last bit of luck finally disappeared without a trace. A tall and thin middle-aged scholar stood up and said in a clear voice: "The chivalrous island master's subordinates are raised together, and they are enough to become famous when they reach the Central Plains. If the two island masters want to be respected in the martial arts, it is easy, but Why bother to spend so much effort to summon us? When I came down to Guidao, I didn’t think of surviving. I just kept a doubt in my heart, and I didn’t want to die. I also ask the two island masters to enlighten me. Then I will kill you." These words were originally what everyone wanted to say, but they were not as elegant as he said, and everyone felt that I was deeply in the heart after listening to him, and hundreds of eyes shot at Longmu Er The face of the island owner. Island Master Long said with a smile: "Mr. Ximen, you don't have to be too modest." When the heroes heard this, they all looked at the scholar in unanimous agreement, thinking: "Could it be that this man is Ximen Guanzhi, a famous Ximen scholar more than 20 years ago? See, he is only in his forties, but he is more than 20 years old. A few days ago, he killed the seven tyrants in northern Shaanxi with a pair of fleshy palms. In three days, he picked up eight green forest villages in Hebei with an iron judge's pen. It is said that he was already forty years away at that time. I don't know how to live or die. Look at his age, but there are not many people with the same surname as Ximen, and there is no other master who is dressed as a scholar in the martial arts today, and he is probably the one." I only heard Master Long continue to say: "Mr. Ximen killed the Qiba with one palm, and picked the Eight Villages with one stroke..." (All the heroes thought: It really is him!) "... Brother Xia and Mu have admired him for a long time, and today we have to meet him." Zun Fan, how dare you be rude to Mister?" Ximen Guanzhi said: "Don't dare, such trivial matters in the past years may be arrogant in the Central Plains for a while, but in the eyes of the second island master, it is as straight as a boy doing a knife, not worth a damn." Master Long Dao said: "Mr. Ximen is too modest. Your honor just asked me, and we two are about to explain it to you. It's just that the 'heart-breaking grass' in this porridge is more effective when it's hot. Everyone, please drink the porridge first, and then let me explain in detail?" Shi Potian listened to the polite words of these two people, there were many idioms, but half of them didn't understand, he was hungry, he was already very hungry, when he heard the Dragon Island Master said so, he hurriedly picked up the porridge bowl, sighing After drinking more than half of the bowl, he felt that although the smell of the medicine was pungent, the taste was sweet and not unpalatable, so he drank the bottom of the bowl in an instant. Some of the heroes thought to themselves: "This kid doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and he is only showing off his momentary arrogance. Even if he has to die, there is no need to rush to the gate of hell." Also clean and refreshing.” Bai Zizai cheered and said: "Wonderful! My grandson-in-law of the Snow Mountain Sect is really different." At this moment, he still felt that among all the sects in the world, the Snow Mountain Sect was superior after all, and Shi Potian was very proud of him. face. After a fight in the stone prison of Lingxiao City, Bai Zizai's spirit was greatly frustrated, and he thought to himself that "the great hero, great hero, and hero who has the best swordsmanship, fist, kick, inner strength, and hidden weapon in the world throughout the ages, In the title of "Great Grand Master", the word "Number one in internal strength" must be deleted; after seeing the skill of the wine waiter picking up the porridge bowl, I faintly feel that the word "Number one in punching and kicking" may be a bit unreliable Then I thought again: "The people on the Knight Island may not be really good at martial arts. This servant may be the number one master on the Island, but he just pretended to be a servant to scare people." Seeing Shi Potian nonchalantly drinking the poisoned porridge, he felt quite proud of him as the "grandson-in-law of the head of the Snow Mountain School", and his chest was filled with arrogance. : "In this hall, only me and this kid dare to drink porridge. How can anyone else be such a hero?" But then he thought: "I am the second person to drink porridge. Even if I am a hero, I am also the second in the world." The six words 'big hero, big hero' in my title must be deleted." I couldn't help but feel very depressed, thinking: "Since it's drinking poisonous porridge, it's dead anyway, why not be the first to drink it? Now it's 'Number two in the world' is so boring." He complained to himself there, and the words of Dragon Island Master did not listen to his ears very much in the future.What Long Island Master said was: "Forty years ago, Brother Mu and I made friends, and we were congenial. We wanted to join forces in the martial arts world, reward the good and punish the evil, and do a good job. Unexpectedly, as soon as we came out of the rivers and lakes, we discovered a A map. From the small words on the side of the picture, I learned that there is a secret of martial arts hidden on the nameless deserted island drawn in the picture..." Xie Wenbao interrupted and said: "This is obviously the Knights Island, why is it an unnamed desert island?" The old man who was holding the porridge with his sleeves yelled: "Brother Xie, don't interrupt the Dragon Island Master." Xie Wenbao said bitterly: "You are If you try your best to please, he may not spare your life." The old man was furious, picked up the Laba porridge, drank most of the bowl in one go, and said, "You and I have known each other for half our lives, who do you think I am, Zheng Guangzhi?" Xie Wenbao regretted and said, "Brother, I was wrong. Make amends." Immediately knelt down, kowtowed three times to him, picked up a bowl of porridge from the table next to him, and drank half of it in one go.Zheng Guangzhi snatched him up and hugged him, and said: "Brother, you and I swore that we would not be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I hope to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. This vow has been fulfilled today, and the sworn brotherhood is not in vain." People hugged each other, happy and sad, and all shed tears. When Shi Potian heard him say "I can't be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, I wish I could die in the same year, the same month and the same day", he couldn't help but look at Zhang San and Li Si. Zhang San and Li Si looked at each other and smiled, but turned their eyes to Island Master Long and Island Master Mu.Master Mujima nodded slightly.Zhang San and Li Siyue came out together, each took a bowl of Laba porridge, walked to Shi Potian's mat, and said, "Brother, please!" Shi Potian hurriedly said: "No, no! Two brothers, you don't have to die with me. I just ask you to take care of Axiu in the future..." Zhang San laughed: "Brother, on the day we swore, we once said, There will be hardships in the future, and blessings will be shared. Since you have eaten Laba porridge, how can we brothers not drink it?" Then he and Li Si each finished a bowl of Laba porridge, turned around, He bowed to the two island owners and said, "Thank you, master, for giving me the porridge!" Then he returned to the original ranks. Seeing that Zhang San and Li Si died with Shi Potian because of Gu Nian's sworn friendship with Shi Potian, it was ten thousand times more difficult than Zheng Guangzhi's reconciliation with Wenbao, who was already doomed. Bai Zizai pondered: "These two are the only ones who can be called 'Xia'. If my sworn brother takes the poison, can I, Bai Zizai, remember Jinlan's righteousness and die with him?" Thinking of this verse , could not help but hesitate greatly.He thought again: "Since I have this moment of hesitation, even if I finally die with others, the three-character title of 'Hero' is well-deserved." I only heard Zhang San say: "Brother, some guests here don't seem to like the taste of this Laba porridge. If you like it, you might as well drink a few more bowls." , thinking to myself that I have already drank it anyway, it doesn't make much difference if there is one more bowl or one less bowl, so I squinted at the table beside me. Seeing his gaze, several people at the nearby table hurriedly picked up their porridge bowls and said, "This porridge smells too strong, I'm not used to it. Little hero, please use whatever you want, you're welcome." Seeing that Shi Potian couldn't hold it with his hands There were so many bowls of porridge, afraid that Zhang San would go back on his word and lose the opportunity, so he hurriedly put the porridge bowls on Shi Potian's table.Shi Potian said: "Thank you!" He drank two more bowls in one go. The Dragon Island Master nodded with a smile, and said: "The hero Jie said well. The unnamed deserted island on the map is the Knights Island where you are now. But the name of the Knights Island is that Brother Mu and I went to the island. Afterwards, it was installed. It is not that the two of us are arrogant and pretend to be knights. There are other reasons for this, and you will know later. We searched for eighteen days on the island as shown in the picture. I finally found the secret of martial arts. It turned out that it was an illustration of an ancient poem with extremely profound and complicated meanings. The two of us were overjoyed and practiced according to the illustration. “唉！岂不知福兮祸所倚，我二人修习数月之后，忽对这图解中所示武功生了歧见，我说该当如此练，木兄弟却说我想法错了，须得那样练。二人争辩数日，始终难以说服对方，当下约定各练各的，练成之后再来印证，且看到底谁错。练了大半年后，我二人动手拆解，只拆得数招，二人都不禁骇然，原来……原来……” 他说到这里，神色黯然，住口不言，木岛主叹了一口长气，也大有郁郁之意。过了好一会，龙岛主才又道：“原来我二人都练错了！” 群雄听了，心里都是一震，均想他二人的徒弟张三、李四武功已如此了得，他二人自然更是出神入化，深不可测，所修习的当然不会是寻常拳脚，必是最高深的内功，这内功一练错，小则走火入魔，重伤残废，大则立时毙命，最是要紧不过。 只听龙岛主道：“我二人发觉不对，立时停手，相互辩难剖析，钻研其中道理。也是我二人资质太差，而图解中所示的功夫又太深奥，以致再钻研了几个月，仍是疑难不解。恰在此时，有一艘海盗船飘流到岛上，我兄弟二人将三名盗魁杀了，对余众分别审讯，作恶多端的一一处死，其余受人裹胁之徒便留在岛上。我二人商议，所以钻研不通这份古诗图解，多半在于我二人多年练武，先入为主，以致把练功的路子都想错了，不如收几名弟子，让他们来想想。于是我二人从盗伙之中，选了六名识字较多、秉性聪颖而武功低微之人，分别收为徒弟，也不传他们内功，只是指点了一些拳术剑法，便要他们去参研图解。 “哪知我的三名徒儿和木兄弟的三名徒儿参研得固然各不相同，甚而同是我收的徒儿之间，三人的想法也是大相径庭，木兄弟的三名徒儿亦复如此。我二人再仔细商量，这份图解是从李太白的一首古诗而来，我们是粗鲁武人，不过略通文墨，终不及通儒学者之能精通诗理，看来若非文武双全之士，难以真正解得明白。于是我和木兄弟分入中原，以一年为期，各收四名弟子，收的或是满腹诗书的儒生，或是诗才敏捷的名士。” 他伸手向身穿黄衣和青衣的七八名弟子一指，说道：“不瞒诸位说，这几名弟子若去应考，中进士、点翰林是易如反掌。他们初时来到侠客岛，未必皆是甘心情愿，但学了武功，又去研习图解，却个个死心塌地的留了下来，都觉得学武练功远胜于读书做官。” 群雄听他说：“学武练功远胜读书做官。”均觉大获我心，许多人都点头称是。 龙岛主又道：“可是这八名士人出身的弟子一经参研图解，各人的见地却又各自不同，非但不能对我与木兄弟有所启发，议论纷纭，反而让我二人越来越糊涂了。 “我们无法可施，大是烦恼，若说弃之而去，却又无论如何狠不起心。有一日，木兄弟道：'当今之日，说到武学之精博，无过于少林高僧妙谛大师，咱们何不请他老人家前来指教一番？'我道：'妙谛大师隐居十余年，早已不问世事，就只怕请他不到。'木兄弟道：'我们何不抄录一两张图解，送到少林寺去请他老人家过目？倘若妙谛大师置之不理，只怕这图解也未必有如何了不起的地方。咱们兄弟也就不必再去理会这劳什子了。'我道：'此计大妙，咱们不妨再录一份，送到武当愚茶道长那里。少林、武当两派的武功各擅胜场，这两位高人定有卓见。' “当下我二人将这图解中的第一图照式绘了，图旁的小字注解也抄得一字不漏，亲自送到少林寺去。不瞒各位说，我二人初时发见这份古诗图解，略加参研后便大喜若狂，只道但须按图修习，我二人的武功当世再无第三人可以及得上。但越是修习，越是疑难不解，待得决意去少林寺之时，先前那秘籍自珍、坚不示人的心情，早已消得干干净净，只要有人能将我二人心中的疑团死结代为解开，纵使将这份图解公诸天下，亦不足惜了。 “到得少林寺后，我和木兄弟将图解的第一式封在信封之中，请知客僧递交妙谛大师。知客僧初时不肯，说道妙谛大师闭关多年，早已与外人不通音问，我二人便各取一个蒲团坐了，堵住了少林寺的大门，直坐了七日七夜，不令寺中僧人出入。知客僧无奈，才将那信递了进去。” 群雄均想：“他说得轻描淡写，但要将少林寺大门堵住七日七夜，当真谈何容易？其间不知经过了多少场龙争虎斗。少林群僧定是无法将他二人逐走，这才被迫传信。” 龙岛主续道：“那知客僧接过信封，我们便即站起身来，离了少林寺，到少室山山脚等候。等不到半个时辰，妙谛大师便即赶到，只问：'在何处？'木兄弟道：'还得去请一个人。'妙谛大师道：'不错，要请愚茶！' “三人来到武当山上，妙谛大师说道：'我是少林寺妙谛，要见愚茶。'不等通报，直闯进内。想少林寺妙谛大师是何等名声，武当弟子谁也不敢拦阻。我二人跟随其后。妙谛大师走到愚茶道长清修的苦茶斋中，拉开架式，将图解第一式中的诸般姿式演了一遍，一言不发，转身便走。愚茶道长又惊又喜，也不多问，便一齐来到侠客岛上。 “妙谛大师娴熟少林诸般绝艺，愚茶道长剑法通神，那是武林中众所公认的两位顶尖儿人物。他二位一到岛上，便去揣摩图解，第一个月中，他两位的想法尚是大同小异。第二个月时便已歧见丛生。到了第三个月，连他那两位早已淡泊自甘的世外高人，也因对图解所见不合，大起争执，甚至……甚至，唉！竟尔动起手来。” 群雄大是诧异，有的便问：“这两位高人比武较量，却是谁胜谁败？” 龙岛主道：“妙谛大师和愚茶道长各以从图解上参悟出来的功夫较量，拆到第五招上，两人所悟相同，登时会心一笑，罢手不斗，但到第六招上却又生了歧见。如此时斗时休，转瞬数月，两人参悟所得始终是相同者少而相异者多，然而到底谁是谁非，孰高孰低，却又难言。我和木兄弟详行计议，均觉这图解博大精深，以妙谛大师与愚茶道长如此修为的高人，尚且只能领悟其中一脔，看来若要通解全图，非集思广益不可。常言道得好：三个臭皮匠，抵个诸葛亮。咱们何不广邀天下奇材异能之士同来岛上，各竭心思，一齐参研？ “恰好其时岛上的'断肠蚀骨腐心草'开花，此草若再配以其他佐使之药，熬成热粥，服后于我辈练武之士大有补益，于是我二人派出使者，邀请当世名门大派的掌门人、各教教主、各帮帮主，来到敝岛喝碗腊八粥，喝过粥后，再请他们去参研图解。” 他这番话，各人只听得面面相觑，将信将疑，人人脸上神色十分古怪。
过了好半晌，丁不四大声道：“如此说来，你们邀人来喝腊八粥，纯是一番好意了。” 龙岛主道：“全是好意，也不见得。我和木兄弟自有一片自私之心，只盼天下的武学好手群集此岛，能助我兄弟解开心中疑团，将武学之道发扬光大，推高一层。但若说对众位嘉宾意存加害，各位可是想得左了。” 丁不四冷笑道：“你这话岂非当面欺人？倘若只是邀人前来共同钻研武学，何以人家不来，你们就杀人家满门？天下哪有如此强凶霸道的请客法子？” 龙岛主点了点头，双掌一拍，道：“取赏善罚恶簿来！”便有八名弟子转入内堂，每人捧了一叠簿籍出来，每一叠都有两尺来高。龙岛主道：“分给各位来宾观看。”众弟子分取簿籍，送到诸人席上。每本簿册上都有黄笺注明某门某派某会。 丁不四拿过来一看，只见笺上写着“六合丁氏”四字，心中不由得一惊：“我兄弟是六合人氏，此事天下少有人知，侠客岛孤悬海外，消息可灵得很啊。”翻将开来，只见注明某年某月某日，丁不三在何处干了何事；某年某月某日，丁不四在何处又干了何事。虽然未能齐备，但自己二十年来的所作所为，凡是荦荦大者，簿中都有书明。 丁不四额上汗水涔涔而下，偷眼看旁人时，大都均是脸现狼狈尴尬之色，只有石破天自顾喝粥，不去理会摆在他面前那本注有“长乐帮”三字的簿册。他一字不识，全不知上面写的是甚么东西。 过了一顿饭时分，龙岛主道：“收了赏善罚恶簿。”群弟子分别将簿籍收回。 龙岛主微笑道：“我兄弟分遣下属，在江湖上打听讯息，并非胆敢刺探朋友们的隐私，只是得悉有这么一会子事，便记了下来。凡是给侠客岛剿灭的门派帮会，都是罪大恶极、天所不容之徒。我们虽不敢说替天行道，然而是非善恶，却也分得清清楚楚。在下与木兄弟均想，我们既住在这侠客岛上，所作所为，总须对得住这'侠客'两字才是。我们只恨侠客岛能为有限，不能尽诛普天下的恶徒。各位请仔细想一想，有哪一个名门正派或是行侠仗义的帮会，是因为不接邀请铜牌而给侠客岛诛灭了的？” 隔了半晌，无人置答。 龙岛主道：“因此上，我们所杀之人，其实无一不是罪有应得……” 白自在忽然插口道：“河北通州聂家拳聂老拳师聂立人，并无甚么过恶，何以你们将他满门杀了？” 龙岛主抽出一本簿子，随手轻挥，说道：“威德先生请看。”那簿册缓缓向白自在飞了过去。白自在伸手欲接，不料那簿册突然间在空中微微一顿，猛地笔直坠落，在白自在中指外二尺之处跌向席上。 白自在急忙伸手一抄，才将簿册接住，不致落入席上粥碗之中，当场出丑。簿籍入手，颇有重甸甸之感，不由得心中暗惊：“此人将一本厚只数分的帐簿随手掷出，来势甚缓而力道极劲，远近如意，变幻莫测，实有传说中所谓'飞花攻敌、摘叶伤人'之能。以这般手劲发射暗器，又有谁闪避挡架得了？我自称'暗器第一'，这四个字非摘下不可。” 只见簿面上写着“河北通州聂家拳”七字，打开簿子，第一行触目惊心，便是“庚申五月初二，聂宗台在沧州郝家庄奸杀二命，留书嫁祸于黑虎寨盗贼”，第二行书道：“庚申十月十七，聂宗峰在济南府以小故击伤刘文质之长子，当夜杀刘家满门一十三人灭口。”聂宗台、聂宗峰都聂老拳师的儿子，在江湖上颇有英侠之名，想不到暗中竟是无恶不作。 白自在沉吟道：“这些事死无对证，也不知是真是假。在下不敢说二位岛主故意滥杀无辜，但侠客岛派出去的弟子误听人言，只怕也是有的。” 张三突然说道：“威德先生既是不信，请你不妨再瞧瞧一件东西。”说着转身入内，随即回出，右手一扬，一本簿籍缓缓向白自在飞去，也是飞到他身前二尺之处，突然下落，手法与龙岛主一般无异。白自在已然有备，伸手抄起，入手的份量却比先前龙岛主掷簿时轻得多了，打了开来，却见是聂家的一本帐簿。 白自在少年时便和聂老拳师相稔，识得他的笔迹，见那帐簿确是聂老拳师亲笔所书，一笔笔都是银钱来往。其中一笔之上注以“可杀”两个朱字，这一笔帐是：“初八，买周家村田八十三亩二分，价银七十两”白自在心想：“七十两银子买了八十多亩田，这田买得忒也便宜，其中定有威逼强买之情。” 又看下去，见另一笔帐上又写了“可杀”两个朱字，这一笔帐是：“十五，收通州张县尊来银二千五百两。”心想：“聂立人好好一个侠义道，为甚么要收官府的钱财，那多半是勾结贪官污吏，欺压良善，做那伤天害理的勾当了。” 一路翻将下去，出现“可杀”二字的不下五六十处，情知这朱笔二字是张三或李四所批，不由得掩卷长叹，说道：“知人知面不知心！这聂立人当真可杀。姓白的倘若早得几年见了这本帐簿，侠客岛就是对他手下留情，姓白的也要杀他全家。”说着站起身来，去到张三身前，双手捧着帐簿还了给他，说道：“佩服，佩服！” 转头向龙木二岛主瞧去，景仰之情，油然而生，寻思：“侠客岛门下高弟，不但武功卓绝，而且行事周密，主持公道。如何赏善我虽不知，但罚恶这等公正，赏善自也妥当。'赏善罚恶'四字，当真是名不虚传。我雪山派门下弟子人数虽多，却哪里有张三、李四这等人才？唉，'大宗师'三字，倘再加在白自在头上，宁不令人汗颜？” 龙岛主似是猜到了他心中的念头，微笑道：“威德先生请坐。先生久居西域，对中原那批衣冠禽兽的所做所为，多有未知，原也怪先生不得。”白自在摇了摇头，回归己座。 丁不四大声道：“如此说来，侠客岛过去数十年中杀人，都是那些人罪有应得；邀请武林同道前来，用意也只在共同参研武功？” 龙木二岛主同时点头，道：“不错！” 丁不四又道：“那为甚么将来到岛上的武林高手个个都害死了，竟令他们连尸骨也不得还乡？”龙岛主摇头道：“丁先生此言差矣！道路传言，焉能尽信？”丁不四道：“依龙岛主所说，那么这些武林高手，一个都没有死？哈哈，可笑啊可笑。” 龙岛主仰天大笑，也道：“哈哈，可笑啊可笑？” 丁不四愕然问道：“有甚么可笑？”龙岛主笑道：“丁先生是敝岛贵客。丁先生既说可笑，在下只有随声附和，也说可笑了。” 丁不四道：“三十年中，来到侠客岛喝腊八粥的武林高手，没有三百，也有两百。龙岛主居然说他们尚都健在，岂非可笑？” 龙岛主道：“凡人皆有寿数天年，大限既届，若非大罗金仙，焉得不死？只要并非侠客岛下手害死，也就是了。” 丁不四侧过头想了一会，道：“那么在下向龙岛主打听一个人，有一个女子，名叫……名叫这个芳姑，听说二十年前来到了侠客岛上，此人可曾健在？”龙岛主道：“这位女侠姓甚么？多大年纪？是哪一个门派帮会的首脑？”丁不四道：“姓甚么……这可不知道了，本来是应该姓丁的……” 那蒙面女子突然尖声说道：“就是他的私生女儿。这姑娘可不跟爷姓，她跟娘姓，叫作梅芳姑。”丁不四脸上一红，道：“嘿嘿，姓梅就姓梅，用不着这般大惊小怪。她……她今年约莫四十岁……”那女子尖声道：“甚么约莫四十岁？是三十九岁。”丁不四道：“好啦，好啦，是三十九岁。她也不是甚么门派的掌门，更不是甚么帮主教主，只不过她学的梅花拳，天下只有她一家，多半是请上侠客岛来了。” 木岛主摇头道：“梅花拳？没资格。”那蒙面女子尖声道：“梅花拳为甚么没资格？我……我这不是收到了你们的邀宴铜牌？”木岛主摇头道：“不是梅花拳。” 龙岛主道：“梅女侠，我木兄弟说话简洁，不似我这等罗唆。他意思说，我们邀请你来侠客岛，不是为了梅女侠的家传梅花拳，而是在于你两年来新创的那套剑法。” 那姓梅女子奇道：“我的新创剑法，从来无人见过，你们又怎地知道？”她说话声音十分尖锐刺耳，令人听了甚不舒服，话中含了惊奇之意，更是难听。 龙岛主微微一笑，向两名弟子各指一指。那两名弟子一个着黄衫、一个着青衫，立即踏上几步，躬身听令。龙岛主道：“你们将梅女侠新创的这套剑法试演一遍，有何不到之处，请梅女侠指正。” 两名弟子应道：“是。”走向倚壁而置的一张几旁。黄衫弟子在几上取过一柄铁剑，青衫弟子取边一条软鞭，向那姓梅女子躬身说道：“请梅女侠指教。”随即展开架式，纵横击刺，斗了起来。厅上群豪都是见闻广博之人，但黄衫弟子所使的这套剑法却是从所未见。 那女子不住口道：“这可奇了，这可奇了！你们几时偷看到的？” 石破天看了数招，心念一动：“这青衫人使的，可不是丁不四爷爷的金龙鞭法么？”果然听得丁不四大声叫了起来：“喂，你创了这套剑法出来，针对我的金龙鞭法，那是甚么用意？”那青衫弟子使的果然正是金龙鞭法，但一招一式，都被黄衫弟子的新奇剑法所克制。那蒙面女子冷笑数声，并不回答。 丁不四越看越怒，喝道：“想凭这剑法抵挡我金龙鞭法，只怕还差着一点。”一句话刚出口，便见那黄衫弟子剑法一变，招招十分刁钻古怪，阴毒狠辣，简直有点下三滥味道，绝无丝毫名家风范。 丁不四叫道：“胡闹，胡闹！那是甚么剑法？呸，这是泼妇剑法。”心中却不由得暗暗吃惊：“倘若真和她对敌，陡然间遇上这等下作打法，只怕便看了她的道儿。”然而这等阴毒招数究竟只能用于偷袭，不宜于正大光明的相斗，丁不四心下虽惊讶不止，但一面却也暗自欣喜：“这种下流撒泼的招数倘若骤然向我施为，确然不易挡架，但既给我看过了一次，那就毫不足畏了。旁门左道之术，毕竟是可一而不可再。” 风良、高三娘子、吕正平、范一飞四人曾在丁不四手下吃过大苦头，眼见他这路金龙鞭法给对方层出不穷的怪招克制得缚手缚脚，都忍不住大声喝采。 丁不四怒道：“叫甚么好？”风良笑道：“我是叫丁四老爷子金龙鞭法的好！”高三娘子笑道：“金龙鞭法妙极。气死我了，气死我了，气死我了！”连叫三声“气死我了”，学的便是那日丁不四在饭店中挑衅生事之时的口吻。 那青衫弟子一套金龙鞭法使了大半，突然挥鞭舞个圈子。黄衫弟子便即收招。青衫弟子将软鞭放回几上，空手又和黄衫弟子斗将起来。 看得数招，石破天“咦”的一声，说道：“丁家擒拿手。”原来青衫弟子所使的，竟是丁不三的擒拿手，甚么“凤尾手”、“虎爪手”、“玉女拈针”、“夜叉锁喉”等等招式，全是丁珰在长江船上曾经教过他的。丁不四更是恼怒，大声说道：“姓梅的，你冲着我兄弟而来，到底是甚么用意？这……这……这不是太也莫名其妙么？”在他心中，自然知道那姓梅的女子处心积虑，要报复他对她姊姊始乱终弃的负心之罪。 眼见那黄衫弟子克制丁氏拳脚的剑法阴狠毒辣，甚么撩阴挑腹、剜目戳臀，无所不至，但那青衫弟子尽也抵挡得住。突然之间，那黄衫弟子横剑下削，青衫弟子跃起闪避。黄衫弟子抛下手中铁剑，双手拦腰将青衫弟子抱住，一张口，咬住了他的咽喉。 丁不四惊呼：“啊哟！”这一口似乎便咬在他自己喉头一般。他一颗心怦怦乱跳，知道这一抱一咬，配合得太过巧
