Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Washing hands

Yue Buqun took Lin Pingzhi to the gate wall, rested for a day, and led all his disciples to pay a visit to Liu's residence on the second day.When Liu Zhengfeng got the news, he was both surprised and delighted. The well-known "Gentleman's Sword" in the martial arts, the master of Huashan actually drove up in person, hurriedly greeted him, and thanked him without saying a word.Yue Buqun was very modest, congratulated with a smile on his face, and walked into the gate hand in hand with Liu Zhengfeng.Taoist Tianmen, Mrs. Dingyi, Yu Canghai, Mr. Wen, He Sanqi, etc. also descended to welcome them.

Yu Canghai harbored a ghost in his heart and thought to himself: "The head of Huashan came here personally. Forgive me that Liu Zhengfeng doesn't have such a big face. He must have come for me. Although he has a large number of people in the Wuyue Sword Sect, my Qingcheng Sect is not like that." It's easy to provoke, if Yue Buqun utters rude words, I'll first ask Linghu Chong what kind of behavior he is doing in prostitution. If he really turned his back on him, I have no choice but to do it." But when Yue Buqun saw him, he was generally deeply moved. With a deep bow, he said: "Guanzhu Yu, I haven't seen you for many years. You are very refreshed, and you are very well!" Yu Canghai returned the salute, and said, "Mr. Yue, hello. Mr. Yue has amazing skills, but he is getting younger and younger."

Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and guests from all walks of life in Liu's residence arrived one after another.This day was Liu Zhengfeng's "Golden Basin Washing Hands" day, at 2:00 am, Liu Zhengfeng returned to the inner hall, and his disciples entertained the guests. Near noon, five or six hundred tourists from afar came pouring in like a stream.Advocate Jin Ao from the Beggar Gang, Zhengzhou Liuhemen Master Xia led three sons-in-law, Grandma Feng Tie, the Goddess of the Three Gorges of Sichuan and Hubei, Pan Hou, leader of the East China Sea Sand Gang, two friends from Qujiang, the magic knife Baike, the magic brush Lucis, and others came successively .Some of these people are familiar with each other, and some of them just admire the name but have never met, and there was a lot of noise in the hall to greet and introduce them.

Taoist Tianmen and Master Dingyi respectively rested in the wing room, instead of greeting everyone, they both thought: "Among today's visitors, some of them are quite famous in the Jianghu, but some of them seem to be ambiguous. Liu Zhengfeng is a master of the Hengshan School, how could he be so self-respecting and promiscuous, won’t he fall into the name of my Five Sacred Sword School?" Although Yue Buqun was called "Buqun", he loved his friends very much, and among the guests As long as many people with unknown names or reputations are not very clean, as long as they come to talk to him, Yue Buqun will chat and laugh with them just like him, without any airs of being the head of the Huashan School and superior to others.

The disciples of Liu's residence commanded the cooks and servants, and arranged about 200 banquets inside and out.Liu Zhengfeng's relatives, followers, accountant, and Liu's disciples Xiang Danian and Mi Weiyi respectfully invited the guests to the table.According to the status and prestige in the martial arts and the age of the class, Taoist Tianmen, the head of the Taishan School, should be the chief. However, the Wuyue Sword Sect is an alliance. Half of the Taoist Tianmen, Yue Buqun, and Dingyi Shitai are masters, so it is inconvenient to go up. Sit down, all the seniors and celebrities will give in to each other, and no one is willing to be the chief.

Suddenly I heard two bangs and bangs outside the door, followed by the sound of drums and music, and the sound of gongs and shouts, it was obvious that some government came to the door.The heroes were stunned, and saw Liu Zhengfeng wearing a brand new familiar robe, rushing out of the inner hall.The heroes cheered and congratulated.Liu Zhengfeng cupped his hands slightly, and walked out the door. After a while, he was seen coming in respectfully accompanied by an official in official uniform.All the heroes wondered: "Could it be that this official is also a master of martial arts?" Seeing that although he is dressed in royal clothes, his eyes are dim and his face is full of wine, which shows that he is not a martial artist.Yue Buqun and the others thought: "Liu Zhengfeng is a great gentleman in Hengshan City, and he usually has to make friends with the government. Today is a good day for him to rejoice. It's not surprising that the local officials came to perfunctory."

But the official walked straight in boldly, stood in the middle, and the yamen servant behind him knelt down on his right leg, raised his hands above his head, and presented a tray covered with yellow satin, on which was a scroll.The official bowed, took the scroll, and said loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng listens to it." When the heroes heard this, they were all taken aback: "Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in a golden basin and sealed his sword to go back to hiding. That's a matter in the Jianghu. What has it to do with the court? Why did the emperor issue an imperial edict? Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng had a conspiracy and was discovered by the court?" Now, that is a serious crime of beheading, ransacking and punishing the nine clans." Everyone thought of this verse in unison, and immediately stood up, grabbing their weapons impatiently, anticipating that the official came to announce the decree, and Liu The mansion must have been densely populated with officers and soldiers, and a big fight is inevitable. I have made friends with Liu Zhengfeng, and I must not just ignore it. Besides, there will be no eggs under the collapse of the nest. Since I came to Liu's mansion to attend the meeting, it is natural People who go against the party, if they want to stay out of the matter, how can they get it?As long as Liu Zhengfeng changed his face and shouted and cursed, everyone would fight with swords, and in an instant they would chop the official into mincemeat.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengfeng was as calm as ever, bent his knees, knelt down, kowtowed three times to the official, and said loudly: "My humble minister Liu Zhengfeng listens to the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live." When the heroes saw it, they were all stunned. The official unfolded the scroll and read: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: According to the report of the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner in Hengshan County, is eager for public service and righteousness. He has made great achievements in his hometown and is skilled in bow and horse. From now on, I will serve the imperial court and live up to my expectations. I respect you."

Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again and said: "My humble minister Liu Zhengfeng thank you, long live my emperor." Standing up, he bowed to the official and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your cultivation and promotion." The official smiled with his beard and said, "Congratulations, Congratulations, General Liu, from now on you and I will be ministers, why should you be polite?" Liu Zhengfeng said: "The young general was originally a reckless man, and today he was appointed an official by the court, it is indeed the emperor's favor that made the young general honor his ancestors, but he is also in power Enxiang, Governor Zhou and Master Zhang’s cultivation beyond the standard." The official smiled and said: "Where, where." Liu Zhengfeng turned to his brother-in-law Fang Qianju and said, "Brother Fang Xian, how about the gift from Master Zhang?" Fang Qianju said: "It's been prepared here for a long time." Turning around, he took a round plate, which contained a brocade bundle.

Liu Zhengfeng held up the round plate, and said with a smile: "A little courtesy is not a respect, please Master Zhang show your face and accept it." The Master Zhang smiled and said: "My brother, but General Liu is so polite." With a wink, his body The guard next to him took it.When the servant took the plate, his arms sank down, obviously the contents on the plate were really heavy, not silver but gold.The lord Zhang smiled brightly and said: "Little brother is on official business, so I can't stay for long, come and pour three glasses of wine, congratulate General Liu on his appointment today, and he will be promoted again soon, the emperor's favor is endless. . " Already pouring wine from left to right.Master Zhang drank three cups in a row, cupped his hands, turned and went out.Liu Zhengfeng smiled all over his face and walked straight to the gate.Hearing the sound of gongs and shouts, Liu's mansion sent off guns again.

This scene was beyond the expectation of the group of heroes, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, silent, with embarrassment and surprise on their faces. Although the guests who came to Liu's residence were not members of the underworld, nor did they commit crimes, they were all well-known in the martial arts circle, and they all regarded themselves very highly. They never looked down upon the government. A little military officer like a sesame mung bean who named the emperor a "general" was so grateful, he made all kinds of nasty expressions, and even offered bribes openly. They looked down on him in their hearts, and some people couldn't help but show contempt.The older guests all thought: "Looking at this situation, his official hat must have been bought with gold and silver. I don't know how much gold and silver he spent to get the governor's recommendation. Liu Zhengfeng has always been an upright person, how can he not?" When it comes time to grow old, Li Lu is obsessed with buying an official to enjoy himself by any means?" Liu Zhengfeng walked up to the group of heroes, his face was full of joy, and he bowed to invite everyone to sit down.No one was willing to take the chief seat, so the grand master's chair in the middle was left empty.On the left is Old Boxer Xia of Liuhemen, who lived the longest, and on the right is Advocate Jin Ao, deputy leader of the Beggars' Clan.Although Zhang Jin'ao himself has no amazing artistic career, the beggar gang is the largest gang in the Jianghu. The leader of the beggar gang, Xie Feng, has high martial arts skills and reputation, and everyone respects him three points. All the heroes sat down one after another, and the servants came up to offer food and drink.Mi Weiyi brought out a coffee table covered with brocade.Xiang Danian was holding a golden pot with a diameter of half a foot long in both hands, and put it on the tea table. The pot was already filled with clear water.There were only three bangs, bangs and bangs of guns being fired outside the door, followed by eight bangs and bangs of big firecrackers.All the children of the younger generation who were seated in the back hall and flower hall flocked to the hall to watch the excitement. Liu Zhengfeng walked into the hall with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and bowed to each other.All the heroes stood up and returned the salute. Liu Zhengfeng said loudly: "All senior heroes, all good friends, all young friends. Everyone came from afar, Liu Zhengfeng really put gold on his face, and I am very grateful. Brothers wash their hands in the golden basin today, and from now on, they will only ask about the affairs of the world, everyone. I must know the reason. My brother has been favored by the imperial court to be a small official. As the saying goes: "Eating the king's salary is a matter of loyalty to the king. Acting in the world pays attention to loyalty; in state affairs, one must obey the law and obey the law in order to repay the king's kindness. This If there is any conflict between the two, Liu Zhengfeng will be in a dilemma. From now on, Liu Zhengfeng will not be considered a disciple of the Hengshan Sect if he withdraws from the martial arts. If any of my disciples wish to join other sects, they can do whatever they want. Mr. Liu invites everyone to come Here, I invite all good friends to be witnesses. When you come to Hengshan City in the future, you will naturally still be good friends of Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu will not ask or participate in all kinds of grievances and grievances in the martial arts. "As he said, he clasped his fists together and saluted. All the heroes had expected what he said, and they all thought: "He only wants to be an official, everyone has his own ambitions, so he can't force himself to come. Anyway, he didn't offend me, so there is no such person in the martial arts world. Some people thought: "This move really hurt the glory of Hengshan School. Mr. Mo Da, the head of Hengshan School, must be very angry, so he didn't come." Some people thought: "Five Sacred Sword School has been fighting for justice in the Jianghu in recent years. He was born with admiration, but Liu Zhengfeng did such a thing. He dare not say anything in front of him, but his teeth are cold behind his back." There were also people who gloated and thought, "Who said the Five Sacred Sword Sect is a chivalrous sect? Kowtow to the officials? Why do you mention the word 'chivalry'?" All the heroes had their own concerns, and for a while, there was no sound in the hall.Originally under this situation, everyone should have congratulated Liu Zhengfeng one after another, complimenting him such as "good luck and longevity", "retreat bravely from the rapids", "great wisdom and courage", etc., but there were more than a thousand people gathered together, and no one opened their mouths to speak . Liu Zhengfeng turned around and said loudly: "Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was recruited by his mentor and taught him martial arts. He is very ashamed for not being able to Zhang Dahengshan sect. Fortunately, our sect is presided over by Brother Mo. Liu Zhengfeng is mediocre, so there is someone more Not much, less Liu is a lot. From now on, Liu washes his hands and concentrates on being an official, but he is determined not to pass on martial arts from his masters in order to be promoted. Never ask. If it is against the promise, there is such a sword." With a flip of his right hand, he drew out the long sword from the bottom of his robe, and with both hands, with a snap, the blade snapped in two.He broke off the long sword, and swiped the two broken swords down. With two soft hissing sounds, the broken swords were inserted into the green bricks. When the heroes saw it, they were all horrified. From the sound of the two broken swords being inserted into the blue bricks, it was obvious that the sword was a sharp weapon for cutting gold and jade. Breaking an ordinary steel sword with the strength of one's hand, a person like Liu Zhengfeng would not be ashamed. It's not surprising, but it is so easy to break a sword with such ease, the pure kung fu of the fingers is really the attainment of a first-class master in the martial arts.Seeing that he is pampered and pampered, he looks like a doughty rich man. I really didn't expect his martial arts to be so good.Mr. Wen sighed, and said: "What a pity, what a pity!" I don't know whether he regrets this precious sword, or whether it's a pity that such a master as Liu Zhengfeng is willing to join the government. Liu Zhengfeng smiled, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands, and was about to put it into the golden basin, when suddenly someone outside the gate shouted sharply: "Hold on!"
Liu Zhengfeng was slightly startled, so he kept his hands out of the water and raised his head sideways, to see who it was that stopped him.I saw four men in yellow shirts walking into the gate. Once the four of them entered, they stood on both sides, and another very tall man in yellow shirts walked straight in between the four of them.The man held high a five-color pennant, which was covered with pearls and gemstones, and when it moved, it emitted a brilliant light.Many people recognized this flag, and their hearts trembled: "The flag of the leader of the Five Sacred Sword Sect has arrived!" The man walked up to Liu Zhengfeng, raised his flag and said, "Uncle Liu, I have received the order from the leader of the left leader of Wuyue Sword Sect: Master Liu's important event of washing his hands in the golden basin, please postpone it for now." Liu Zhengfeng bowed and said, "But I don't know what the leader's order is. Intention?" The man said: "I am following orders, but I really don't know the will of the lord, so please forgive me, Martial Uncle Liu." Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said: "You're welcome. The nephew is the nephew Qianzhang Songshi, right?" Although there was a smile on his face, his voice trembled slightly. It was obvious that this incident came very suddenly. , can not help but be greatly shocked. That man was Qianzhang Song Shi Dengda, a disciple of the Songshan School. Hearing that Liu Zhengfeng knew his name and nickname, he couldn't help feeling proud, bowed slightly, and said, "Disciple Shi Dengda pays his respects to Uncle Liu." Taoist Tianmen, Yue Buqun, Master Dingyi and others saluted, and said: "Disciples of Songshan sect, pay homage to all masters and uncles." The other four men in yellow bowed at the same time. Mrs. Dingyi was very happy, she bowed to return the gift, and said: "It would be the best thing if your master came out to stop this matter. I said, we martial arts people should be chivalrous, and we are free and easy in the Jianghu. What is Lao Shizi's official? It's just that I see that Liu Xiandi has already arranged everything, and I will never listen to the old nun's persuasion, and I don't want to waste any more words." Liu Zhengfeng looked solemn, and said: "Back then, our Five Sacred Sword Sect formed an alliance, agreed to help each other in offense and defense, and maintain righteousness in the martial arts. When encountering matters related to the Five Sects, everyone must obey the leader's orders. This five-color edict flag belongs to our Five Sects It is a common system, seeing Lingqi is like seeing the leader, it is good. However, washing hands in the golden basin today is Liu's private matter, it has not violated the moral rules of the martial arts, and it has nothing to do with the Wuyue Sword Sect, so it will not be accepted by the leader. The flag order is bound. Please tell Nephew Shi Xian to tell Master that Liu does not follow the flag order, please forgive me, brother Zuo." He said and walked towards the golden basin. Shi Dengda swayed, rushed to stop in front of the golden basin, raised the silk banner with his right hand, and said, "Uncle Liu, my master reminds me to ask my uncle to wait for the golden basin to wash his hands. My master said that the Wuyue sword sect is united with each other." , everyone is like brothers. My master passed on this flag order, not only to protect the friendship of the Wuyue Sword Sect, but also to maintain the righteousness in the martial arts, and at the same time, it is also for the good of Liu Shishu." Liu Zhengfeng said: "I don't understand. The invitation card for Liu's golden basin handwashing wedding banquet has already been respectfully sent to Songshan, and there is a long letter to report to Senior Brother Zuo. If Senior Brother Zuo really has such good intentions, why didn't he do so beforehand?" Add dissuasion? Didn't issue a flag order to stop it until now, isn't that clearly asking Liu to go back on his word before the heroes of the world, and make the heroes in the world laugh at me?" Shi Dengda said: "My master instructed my disciples to say that Master Uncle Liu is a good man of the Hengshan School, with a strong righteousness, and his comrades in the martial arts have always respected Master Liu very much, and my master also admires him very much in his heart. Be rude, or you will be punished severely. Uncle Liu's name is well known in the rivers and lakes, but there is no need to worry about this." Liu Zhengfeng smiled slightly, and said: "This is the honor of the leader of the Left Alliance. How can Liu have such a reputation?" Master Dingyi saw that the two were at a stalemate, so he couldn't help but interjected again: "Liu Xiandi, what's the harm in putting this matter aside. Everyone here today is a good friend, who will come to make fun of you?" You? Even if there are one or two people who don't know what is good or bad, and wantonly criticize him, even if Liu Xiandi doesn't care about him, the poor nun will let him go first." He swept his eyes across everyone's faces, with a great challenge, and wanted to Let's see who is so bold to offend her fellow members of the Five Sacred Sword Sect. Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said: "Since Mrs. Dingyi also said so, the matter of washing hands in the lower golden basin will be postponed until noon tomorrow. Please don't leave any of my good friends, stay in Hengshan for one more day, and stay here to meet the people of Songshan sect A worthy nephew to ask for advice in detail." At this moment, I suddenly heard a woman's voice in the back hall shouting: "Hey, what are you doing? Who do I like to hang out with, do you care?" The girl Qu Feiyan who fought Yu Canghai a day earlier. Another man's voice was heard saying: "Sit quietly for me, don't move and talk nonsense, after a while, I will let you go naturally." Qu Feiyan said: "Eh, this is strange, Is this your home? I like to go to the back garden with sister Liu, why don't you stop me?" The man said: "Okay! You're going, go by yourself, please Miss Liu stay here for a while. Qu Feiyan said: "Sister Liu said that she hates you when she sees you, you should walk away from me quickly. Sister Liu doesn't recognize you, who wants you to hang around here." Only heard another A woman's voice said: "Sister, let's go and ignore him." The man said: "Miss Liu, please stay here for a while." The more Liu Zhengfeng heard it, the more angry he became, thinking: "Which daring lunatic came to my house to behave wildly, and dared to be rude to me, Jinger?" Mi Weiyi, the second disciple of the Liu Clan, rushed to the back hall upon hearing the sound, and saw his junior sister and Qu Feiyan standing in the courtyard, holding hands, a young man in yellow opened his hands, blocking them both.When Mi Weiyi saw the man's clothes, he recognized him as a disciple of the Songshan School, he couldn't help feeling angry, coughed, and said loudly: "This senior is a member of the Songshan School, why don't you sit in the hall?" The man proudly said: "No need. According to the leader's order, the family members of the Liu family must be guarded, and no one is allowed to escape." The voice of these few words was not very loud, but they were said so proudly that everyone in the hall heard them, and all of them changed their colors. Liu Zhengfeng was furious, and asked Shi Dengda: "Where did you start?" Shi Dengda said: "Brother Wan, come out, and be careful with your words. Uncle Liu has promised not to wash his hands." The man in the back hall replied: "Yes! Then It couldn't be better." Then he turned from the back hall, bowed slightly to Liu Zhengfeng, and said, "Wan Daping, a disciple of Songshan sect, see Master Uncle Liu." Liu Zhengfeng was so angry that his body trembled slightly, and he said loudly: "How many disciples have been sent by Songshan Mountain, let's all show up together!" As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people on the roof, outside the gate, in the corner of the hall, in the backyard, front, back, left, and right, responded in unison: "Yes, disciples of the Songshan School are visiting Master Liu!" The voices of dozens of people shouted at the same time. When it came out, the sound was loud and unexpected, and all the heroes were taken aback.But I saw more than ten people standing on the roof, all wearing yellow shirts.The people in the hall were all dressed up, obviously they had sneaked in a long time ago, secretly monitoring Liu Zhengfeng, among the more than a thousand people, no one noticed. Master Dingyi was the first to hold his breath, and said loudly: "What... what does this mean? It's too insulting!" Shi Dengda said: "Uncle Dingyi, please forgive me. My master issued an order to dissuade Uncle Liu, and not let him wash his hands in a golden basin. I am afraid that Uncle Liu will not obey the order, so I will offend him." At this moment, more than a dozen people walked out of the back hall, but they were Liu Zhengfeng's wife, his two young sons, and seven disciples of the Liu family. Behind each of them was a Songshan disciple, holding daggers in their hands against the After Mrs. Liu and others were upset. Liu Zhengfeng said in a loud voice: "My friends, it's not that Mr. Liu is going his own way. Brother Zuo actually threatened him so much today. If Mr. Liu is bent by power, what face does he have to stand between heaven and earth? Brother Zuo doesn't allow Mr. Liu to wash his hands in the golden basin, hehe , Liu’s head can be broken, but his will can’t be bent.” As he spoke, he took a step forward, and stretched his hands into the golden basin. Shi Dengda shouted: "Wait a minute!" He spread his flag and stopped in front of him.Liu Zhengfeng flicked his left hand, and inserted two fingers into his eyes.Shi Dengda raised his arms to block the block, Liu Zhengfeng retracted his left hand, and inserted two fingers of his right hand into his eyes again.Stenda had no choice but to retreat.Liu Zhengfeng forced him away with two moves, and stretched out his hands to the golden basin.There was only the sound of the wind behind him, two people rushed forward, Liu Zhengfeng didn't even look back, his left leg bounced out, kicked a Songshan disciple far away with a bang, and grabbed the other with his right hand. The chest of the famous Songshan disciple, he lifted it up and threw it towards Shi Dengda.He kicked back with his left leg and scratched back with his right hand, it was as if eyes had been born in his back, his position was accurate, and his movements were surprisingly fast, he was indeed a master in the inner circle, very extraordinary. The disciples of the Songshan group were stunned, and no one dared to come up for a while.The Songshan disciple standing behind his son shouted: "Uncle Liu, if you don't stop, I will kill your son." Liu Zhengfeng turned his head, glanced at his son, and said coldly: "Here is the hero of the world, you dare to touch a hair on my son, your dozens of Songshan disciples are all flesh." These words are not in vain Threatening, if this disciple of Songshan really hurt his youngest son, he would definitely arouse public outrage and attack in groups, and the disciple of Songshan would be unable to escape justice.As soon as he turned around, he stretched his hands towards the golden basin again. Seeing that no one could stop it this time, a silver light flashed suddenly, and a tiny hidden weapon pierced through the air.Liu Zhengfeng took two steps back, only to hear a light ding, and the hidden weapon hit the edge of the golden basin.The golden basin toppled over and fell to the ground. With a loud clang, the basin turned over, with the bottom of the basin facing the sky, and the basin full of clear water was poured on the ground. At the same time, the yellow shadow swayed, and a person jumped down from the roof. With his right foot, he kicked down to the bottom of the golden basin, and the golden basin became flat immediately.This man was about forty years old, of medium build, unusually thin, with two mustaches on his upper lip, cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Liu, by the leader's order, you must not wash your hands!" Liu Zhengfeng knew that this person was Fei Bin, the fourth junior brother of Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan School, and he was well-known in the martial arts world with a set of Great Songyang Hands. It seems that the Songshan School came to deal with him today, not just the second generation disciples.Now that the golden basin has been trampled to pieces for him, it is no longer feasible for the golden basin to wash his hands, should he fight with his best, or endure the humiliation for the time being?All of a sudden, a thought flashed across his mind: "Although the Songshan faction holds the flag of the Five Sacred Sacred Alliance, they are so aggressive. Could it be that none of the more than a thousand heroes here stand up and say a fair word?" Come to drink a glass of water and wine, but hide on the roof and suffer from the sun? There are probably other masters coming from the Songshan School, please show up together. Brother Fei alone is more than enough to deal with Liu, if you want to deal with here There are so many heroes, the Songshan faction may not be enough." Fei Bin smiled slightly and said, "Why does Senior Brother Liu speak out to sow discord? Even if you are alone with Senior Brother Liu, I can't resist Senior Brother Liu's 'Xiao Luoyan Style' just now. The Songshan faction will never dare to have anything to do with the Hengshan faction If I can't get over it, I will never dare to offend any hero here, even Senior Brother Liu, I just come here to ask Senior Brother Liu not to wash his hands for the sake of the wealth and lives of millions of fellow martial artists." As soon as this remark came out, all the heroes in the hall were stunned, and they all thought: "Whether Liu Zhengfeng has washed his hands in a golden basin, how could it be related to the wealth and lives of millions of fellow martial artists?" Sure enough, Liu Zhengfeng said: "Senior Brother Fei's words are too flattering to my younger brother. Liu is just a mediocre member of the Hengshan School, and his sons and daughters are young. The sect only accepts eight or nine incompetent disciples, which is really insignificant. To the point. How can Liu's every move involve the lives and fortunes of millions of fellow martial artists?" Mrs. Dingyi interjected again: "That's right. Brother Liu Xian washes his hands in a golden basin and becomes an official with sesame seeds and mung beans. To be honest, poor nuns don't think so much, but people have their own ambitions. He likes to be promoted and get rich. As long as he doesn't harm the people, It won't break the loyalty of the martial arts comrades, and others can't forcefully stop it. I don't think Liu Xiandi has such a great ability, and he can actually harm many martial arts comrades." Fei Bin said: "Master Dingyi, you are a man of Taoism in Buddhism, so naturally you don't understand other people's ghost tricks. If this big conspiracy succeeds, it will not only kill countless comrades in the martial arts world, but also all kind people in the world will be killed." Everyone will be greatly poisoned. Please think about it, Mr. Liu of the Hengshan School is a well-known hero in the Jianghu. Still coveting to get promoted and get rich? There are ulterior reasons for this." All the heroes thought: "That's reasonable. I've been skeptical for a long time. With Liu Zhengfeng's character, it's too nondescript to be such a small military officer." Instead of getting angry, Liu Zhengfeng smiled, and said, "Senior brother Fei, if you want to spout blood, you have to see if you sound like it. Brothers from the Songshan faction, please show up together!" Only one person on the east, west and west of the roof responded at the same time: "Okay!" The yellow shadow shook, and the two of them had already stood at the entrance of the hall.The one standing at the east end was a fat man with a burly figure. Mrs. Dingyi and the others recognized him as Ding Mian, the second younger brother of the leader of the Songshan School, while the man at the west head was very tall and thin, the third in the Songshan School. Lu Bai, the crane hand who holds the top spot.The two men cupped their hands at the same time, and said, "Please, Mr. Liu, all heroes." Both Ding Mian and Lu Bai are well-known in the martial arts, the heroes all stood up and returned their salutes. Seeing the masters of the Songshan School coming one after another, everyone felt in their hearts that today's affairs are not easy to do well, I'm afraid Liu Zhengfeng will not be happy It's a big loss. Master Dingyi said angrily: "Liu Xiandi, you don't have to worry, there is no such thing as 'reason' in the affairs of the world. Don't look at the number of people in the family, don't we friends from the Taishan School, the Huashan School, and the Hengshan School are all here to watch Is it okay to just eat and do nothing?" Liu Zhengfeng smiled wryly and said: "Master Dingyi, I am really ashamed to say this matter. It was originally a matter of my sect in the Hengshan Sect, but it has caused all my good friends to worry about it. At this moment, Mrs. Liu knows clearly that it must be me. Brother Mo went to the left leader of the Songshan Sect to sue me, and said all kinds of wrong things about me, so that all the senior brothers of the Songshan Sect came to question me, okay, it was Liu who was rude to Senior Brother Mo, and I will report to Mo. Senior brother admits his mistake and apologizes." Fei Bin's eyes shot from east to west in the hall for a week. His eyes were narrowed into a line, but they were radiant, and he seemed to have profound inner strength. He said, "Why is this matter related to Mr. Mo Da? Please come out, Mr. Mo Da, everyone. After he said these few words, there was silence in the hall, and after a while, Mr. Mo Da from "Xiaoxiang Night Rain" did not appear. Liu Zhengfeng smiled wryly and said: "My brothers and sisters are at odds, and martial arts friends are well-known, so there is no need to hide that. My younger brother relies on the shadow of his ancestors, and his family is relatively well-off. My brother, Mo, is from a poor family. Let alone a senior brother? But senior brother Mo sees suspicion from this, and he will definitely not be able to go to the door of a younger brother. My senior brother has not seen each other for several years, so senior brother Mo will not be here today. Those who are dissatisfied in my heart It's because the leader of the left alliance only listened to my brother Mo's side, and sent so many senior brothers to deal with the younger brother. Even Liu's old wife and daughter have become prisoners, so... that would be a big fuss gone." Fei Bin said to Shi Dengda: "Raise the command flag." Shi Dengda said: "Yes!" Holding up the command flag, he stood beside Fei Bin.Fei Bin said calmly: "Senior Brother Liu, today's matter has nothing to do with Mr. Mo Da, the head of the Hengshan Sect. You don't need to involve him. The leader of the Left Alliance ordered us to find out from you; Senior Brother Liu and the Demon Sect What kind of collusion did the leader Dongfang Bubai have in secret? What kind of conspiracy was set up to deal with my Wuyue Sword Sect and all the righteous comrades in the martial arts?" As soon as this statement came out, the faces of the heroes were suddenly moved, and many people gave a cry of surprise.The Demon Cult and the heroes of the White Way are at odds with each other. The two sides have been feuding for more than a hundred years, fighting endlessly, and winning or losing each other.Among the more than a thousand people in this hall, at least half of them have been harmed by the Demon Sect, some fathers and brothers were murdered, some teachers were murdered, when the Devil Sect is mentioned, everyone hates it.The biggest reason why the Wuyue Sword Sect formed an alliance was to deal with the Demon Cult.The Demon Cult has a large number of people, and their martial arts are strong. Although the famous sects have their own unique skills, they are often defeated. The leader of the Demon Cult, Dongfang Bubai, is even known as "the world's number one master". Since its success, it has never been defeated once, which is really no small matter.When the heroes heard Fei Bin accuse Liu Zhengfeng of colluding with the Demon Cult, and the matter was indeed related to everyone's lives, their original sympathy for Liu Zhengfeng disappeared immediately. Liu Zhengfeng said: "In the next life, I have never seen the side of the leader of the Demon Cult, Dongfang Bubai. So where does the so-called collusion and conspiracy come from?" Fei Bin looked sideways at the third brother Lu Bai, waiting for him to speak.Lu Bai said in a soft voice: "Senior brother Liu, I'm afraid this is a bit inaccurate. There is a guardian elder in the Devil's Cult, whose name is Qu Yang. I wonder if Senior Brother Liu knows him?" Liu Zhengfeng was originally very calm, but when he heard him mention the word "Qu Yang", his face changed immediately, his lips were tightly closed, and he did not answer. That fat man Ding Mian had never uttered a word since he entered the hall, at this moment he suddenly asked sharply: "Do you know Qu Yang?" humming.He stood there motionless, already tall and majestic, but in everyone's eyes, he suddenly seemed to be about a foot taller, looking extremely mighty. Liu Zhengfeng still didn't answer, thousands of eyes focused on his face.Everyone felt that it was the same whether Liu Zhengfeng answered or not. Since he couldn't answer, it was tantamount to acquiescing.After a long time, Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said, "That's right! Brother Qu Yangqu, I not only know him, but he is the only confidant and best friend in my life." In an instant, the hall was full of noise, and all the heroes were discussing one after another.These few words of Liu Zhengfeng were beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone guessed that if he hadn't denied it, he had only admitted that he had a relationship with Qu Yang once. They never expected that he would say that the elder of the Demon Sect was his close friend. friend. A smile appeared on Fei Bin's face, and he said, "Admit it to yourself. That's the best thing. A man can do everything by himself. Liu Zhengfeng, the leader of the Left has set two paths, and it's up to you to choose." Liu Zhengfeng seemed not to have heard Fei Bin's words, with a dull expression on his face, he sat down slowly, lifted the jug with his right hand, poured out a glass, raised his lips, and drank slowly.The heroes saw that the sleeves of his silk shirt were hanging straight down without any movement, which showed that he was extremely strong, and he was able to remain calm at this critical moment. It was because of his excellent courage and martial arts, Fang Ke was like this, The two are indispensable, and everyone secretly admires them. Fei Bin said loudly: "Leader Zuo said: Liu Zhengfeng is a rare talent in the Hengshan Sect. He mistakenly handed over to bandits and went astray. If he can repent deeply, we are all good friends in the chivalrous way. Why not?" Be kind to others and give him a way to reform? The leader of Zuo told his brothers to tell Senior Brother Liu: If you choose this way, you have one month to kill Qu Yang, the elder of the Demon Sect, and come to see him, then the past will be ignored , we will still be good friends and good brothers in the future.” All the heroes thought: there is no balance between good and evil, heretics of the Devil's Cult, who will fight to the death when they meet chivalrous figures, Liu Zhengfeng, the leader of the Left League, killed Qu Yang to show his heart, that is not too much to ask. A desolate smile flashed across Liu Zhengfeng's face, and he said, "Brother Qu and I hit it off right away, and we became friends. He and I had more than ten night-time conversations together, and occasionally involved sectarian dissent. He always sighed deeply. I think it's pointless to fight like this between the two sides. Brother Qu and I have acquaintances, only discussing temperament. He is a master of the lyre, and I like to play the flute. When we meet, most of the time, the qin and flute are always in harmony, and martial arts are the same. We never talk about it. When he said this, he smiled slightly, and continued: "Everyone may not believe it, but in today's world, Liu Zhengfeng thinks that playing the piano and music, no one can be as good as the big brother, and playing the flute by the hole, I will not be the second person I think. Although Big Brother Qu is a member of the Demon Cult, from the sound of his piano, I know that he is noble in character and has a bright heart. Liu Zhengfeng not only admires him, but also admires him. Although Liu is a I am a poor man, but I am determined not to harm this gentleman." The heroes became more and more surprised when they heard it. They never expected that he and Qu Yang would meet each other. Because of the music, they would not believe it. They saw that what he said was very sincere, and there was no hypocrisy. They all thought that there are many strange people in the Jianghu It is not unusual for Liu Zhengfeng to indulge in music.Those who know the details of the Hengshan School think again: Masters of the Hengshan School of all dynasties are fond of music. The current master, Mr. Mo Da, is nicknamed "Xiaoxiang Yeyu", and he never leaves his Huqin. No. It is very possible that Liu Zhengfeng became acquainted with Qu Yang from playing Xiao. Fei Bin said: "You and Demon Qu are friends because of the rhythm, the Zuo Leader has already investigated this matter clearly. The Zuo Leader said: The Demon Cult has evil intentions, knowing that my Five Sacred Sword Sect has flourished in recent years, the Demon Cult is difficult to fight against. So he tried everything possible to destroy it, sow dissension, and do everything possible. Either use money, or seduce beauty. Brother Liu has always been strict in conduct, so I will try to do what you like, and send Qu Yang to start with the rhythm. Liu Senior Brother, you need to be more sober, the Demon Cult has killed so many of us in the past, why have you been deceived by other ghosts and ghosts, and you have not come to your senses?" Mrs. Dingyi said: "Yes, Junior Brother Fei's words are correct. The Devil's Cult is terrifying not because of its insidious martial arts, but because of its various tricks that make people hard to guard against. Junior Brother Liu, you are an honest gentleman, and you fell for the trick of a despicable villain. What does it matter? You kill Qu Yang with a single sword as soon as possible, clean and refreshing. My Five Sacred Sword Sect is of the same spirit, so you must not be provoked by the villains of the Devil Cult, and hurt the loyalty of your comrades." God门道人点头道：“刘师弟，君子之过，如日月之食，人所共知，知过能改，善莫大焉。你只须杀了那姓曲的魔头，侠义道中人，谁都会翘起大拇指，说一声'衡山派刘正风果然是个善恶分明的好汉子。'我们做你朋友的，也都面上有光。” 刘正风并不置答，目光射到岳不群脸上，道：“岳师兄，你是位明辨是非的君子，这里许多位武林高人都逼我出卖朋友，你却怎么说？” 岳不群道：“刘贤弟，倘若真是朋友，我辈武林中人，就为朋友两胁插刀，也不会皱一皱眉头。但魔教中那姓曲的，显然是笑里藏刀，口蜜腹剑，设法来投你所好，那是最最阴毒的敌人。他旨在害得刘贤弟身败名裂，家破人亡，包藏祸心之毒，不可言喻。这种人倘若也算是朋友，岂不是污辱了'朋友'二字？古人大义灭亲，亲尚可灭，何况这种算不得朋友的大魔头、大奸贼？” 群雄听他侃侃而谈，都喝起彩来，纷纷说道：“岳先生这话说得再也明白不过。对朋友自然要讲义气，对敌人却是诛恶务尽，哪有什么义气好讲？” 刘正风叹了口气，待人声稍静，缓缓说道：“在下与曲大哥结交之初，早就料到有今日之事。最近默察情势，猜想过不多时，我五岳剑派和魔教便有一场大火拚。一边是同盟的师兄弟，一边是知交好友，刘某无法相助哪一边，因此才出此下策，今日金盆洗手，想要遍告天下同道，刘某从此退出武林，再也不与闻江湖上的恩怨仇杀，只盼置身事外，免受牵连。去捐了这个芝麻绿豆大的武官来做做，原是自污，以求掩人耳目。哪想到左盟主神通广大，刘某这一步棋，毕竟瞒不过他。” 群雄一听，这才恍然大悟，心中均道：“原来他金盆洗手，暗中含有这等深意，我本来说嘛，这样一位衡山派高手，怎么会甘心去做这等芝麻绿豆小官。”刘正风一加解释，人人都发觉自己果然早有先见之明。 费彬和丁勉、陆柏三人对视一眼，均感得意：“若不是左师兄识破了你的奸计，及时拦阻，便给你得逞了。” 刘正风续道：“魔教和我侠义道百余年来争斗仇杀，是是非非，一时也说之不尽。刘某只盼退出这腥风血雨的斗殴，从此归老林泉，吹箫课子，做一个安分守己的良民，自忖这份心愿，并不违犯本门门规和五岳剑派的盟约。” 费彬冷笑道：“如果人人都如你一般，危难之际，临阵脱逃，岂不是便任由魔教横行江湖，为害人间？你要置身事外，那姓曲的魔头却又如何不置身事外？” 刘正风微微一笑，道：“曲大哥早已当着我的面，向他魔教祖师爷立下重誓，今后不论魔教和白道如何争斗，他一定置身事外，决不插手，人不犯我，我不犯人！” 费彬冷笑道：“好一个'人不犯我，我不犯人'！倘若我们白道中人去犯了他呢？” 刘正风道：“曲大哥言道：他当尽力忍让，决不与人争强斗胜，而且竭力弥缝双方的误会嫌隙。曲大哥今日早晨还派人来跟我说，华山派弟子令狐冲为人所伤，命在垂危，是他出手给救活了的。” 此言一出，群雄又群相耸动，尤其华山派、恒山派以及青城派诸人，更交头接耳地议论了起来。华山派的岳灵珊忍不住问道：“刘师叔，我大师哥在哪里？真的是……是那位姓曲的……姓曲的前辈救了他性命么？” 刘正风道：“曲大哥既这般说，自非虚假。日后见到令狐贤侄，你可亲自问他。” 费彬冷笑道：“那有什么奇怪？魔教中人拉拢离间，什么手段不会用？他能千方百计地来拉拢你，自然也会千方百计地去拉拢华山派弟子。说不定令狐冲也会由此感激，要报答他的救命之恩，咱们五岳剑派之中，又多一个叛徒了。”转头向岳不群道：“岳师兄，小弟这话只是打个比方，请勿见怪。”岳不群微微一笑，说道：“不怪！” 刘正风双眉一轩，昂然问道：“费师兄，你说又多一个叛徒，这个'又'字，是什么用意？”费彬冷笑道：“哑子吃馄饨，心里有数，又何必言明。”刘正风道：“哼，你直指刘某是本派叛徒了。刘某结交朋友，乃是私事，旁人却也管不着。刘正风不敢欺师灭祖，背叛衡山派本门，'叛徒'二字，原封奉还。”他本来恂恂有礼，便如一个财主乡绅，有些小小的富贵之气，又有些土气，但这时突然显出勃勃英气，与先前大不相同。群雄眼见他处境十分不利，却仍与费彬针锋相对地论辩，丝毫不让，都不禁佩服他的胆量。 费彬道：“如此说来，刘师兄第一条路是不肯走的了，决计不愿诛妖灭邪，杀那大魔头曲洋了？” 刘正风道：“左盟主若有号令，费师兄不妨就此动手，杀了刘某全家！” 费彬道：“你不须有恃无恐，只道天下的英雄好汉在你家里作客，我五岳剑派便有所顾忌，不能清理门户。”伸手向史登达一招，说道：“过来！”史登达应道：“是！”走上三步。费彬从他手中接过五色令旗，高高举起，说道：“刘正风听着：左盟主有令，你若不应允在一月之内杀了曲洋，则五岳剑派只好立时清理门户，以免后患，斩草除根，决不容情。你再想想吧！” 刘正风惨然一笑，道：“刘某结交朋友，贵在肝胆相照，岂能杀害朋友，以求自保？左盟主既不肯见谅，刘正风势孤力单，又怎与左盟主相抗？你嵩山派早就布置好一切，只怕连刘某的棺材也给买好了，要动手便即动手，又等何时？” 费彬将令旗一展，朗声道：“泰山派天门师兄，华山派岳师兄，恒山派定逸师太，衡山派诸位师兄师侄，左盟主有言吩咐：自来正邪不两立，魔教和我五岳剑派仇深似海，不共戴天。刘正风结交匪人，归附仇敌。凡我五岳同门，出手共诛之。接令者请站到左首。” 天门道人站起身来，大踏步走到左首，更不向刘正风瞧上一眼。天门道人的师父当年命丧魔教一名女长老之手，是以他对魔教恨之入骨。他一走到左首，门下众弟子都跟了过去。 岳不群起身说道：“刘贤弟，你只须点一点头，岳不群负责为你料理曲洋如何？你说大丈夫不能对不起朋友，难道天下便只曲洋一人才是你朋友，我们五岳剑派和这里许多英雄好汉，便都不是你朋友了？这里千余位武林同道，一听到你要金盆洗手，都千里迢迢地赶来，满腔诚意地向你祝贺，总算够交情了吧？难道你全家老幼的性命，五岳剑派师友的恩谊，这里千百位同道的交情，一并加将起来，还及不上曲洋一人？” 刘正风缓缓摇了摇头，说道：“岳师兄，你是读书人，当知道大丈夫有所不为。你这番良言相劝，刘某甚为感激。人家逼我害曲洋，此事万万不能。正如倘若是有人逼我杀害你岳师兄，或是要我加害这里任何哪一位好朋友，刘某纵然全家遭难，却也决计不会点一点头。曲大哥是我至交好友，那不错，但岳师兄又何尝不是刘某的好友？曲大哥倘若有一句提到，要暗害五岳剑派中刘某哪一位朋友，刘某便鄙视他的为人，再也不当他是朋友了。”他这番话说得极是诚恳，群雄不由得为之动容，武林中义气为重，刘正风这般顾全与曲洋的交情，这些江湖汉子虽不以为然，却禁不住暗自赞叹。 岳不群摇头道：“刘贤弟，你这话可不对了。刘贤弟顾全朋友义气，原本令人佩服，却未免不分正邪，不问是非。魔教作恶多端，残害江湖上的正人君子、无辜百姓。刘贤弟只因一时琴箫投缘，便将全副身家性命都交了给他，可将'义气'二字误解了。” 刘正风淡淡一笑，说道：“岳师兄，你不喜音律，不明白小弟的意思。言语文字可以撒谎作伪，琴箫之音却是心声，万万装不得假。小弟和曲大哥相交，以琴箫唱和，心意互通。小弟愿意以全副身家性命担保，曲大哥是魔教中人，却没半点分毫魔教的邪恶之气。” 岳不群长叹一声，走到了天门道人身侧。劳德诺、岳灵珊、陆大有等众弟子也都随着过去。 定逸师太望着刘正风，问道：“从今而后，我叫你刘贤弟，还是刘正风？”刘正风脸露苦笑，道：“刘正风命在顷刻，师太以后也不会再叫我了。”定逸师太合十念道：“阿弥陀佛！”缓缓走到岳不群之侧，说道：“魔深孽重，罪过，罪过。”座下弟子也都跟了过去。 费彬道：“这是刘正风一人之事，跟旁人并不相干。衡山派的众弟子只要不甘附逆，都站到左首去。” 大厅中寂静片刻，一名年轻汉子说道：“刘师伯，弟子们得罪了。”便有三十余名衡山派弟子走到恒山派群尼身侧，这些都是刘正风的师侄辈，并非刘正风的弟子。衡山派第一代的人物都没到来。 费彬又道：“刘门亲传弟子，也都站到左首去。” 向大年朗声道：“我们受师门重恩，义不相负，刘门弟子，和恩师同生共死。” 刘正风热泪盈眶，道：“好，好，大年！你说这番话，已很对得起师父了。你们都过去吧。师父自己结交朋友，跟你们可没干系。” 米为义刷的一声，拔出长剑，说道：“刘门一系，自非五岳剑派之敌，今日之事，有死而已。哪一个要害我恩师，先杀了姓米的。”说着便在刘正风身前一站，挡住了他。 丁勉左手一扬，嗤的一声轻响，一丝银光电射而出。刘正风一惊，伸手在米为义右膀上一推，内力到处，米为义向左撞出，那银光便向刘正风胸口射来。向大年护师心切，纵身而上，只听他大叫一声，那银针正好射中心脏，立时气绝身亡。 刘正风左手将他尸体抄起，探了探他鼻息，回头向丁勉道：“丁老二，是你嵩山派先杀了我弟子！”丁勉森然道：“不错，是我们先动手，却又怎样？” 刘正风提起向大年的尸身，运力便要向丁勉掷去。丁勉见他运劲的姿式，素知衡山派的内功大有独到之处，刘正风是衡山派中的一等高手，这一掷之势非同小可，当即暗提内力，准备接过尸身，立即再向他反掷回去。哪知刘正风提起尸身，明明是要向前掷出，突然间身子往斜里蹿出，双手微举，却将向大年的尸身送到费彬胸前。这一下来得好快，费彬出其不意，只得双掌竖立，运劲挡住尸身，便在此时，双胁之下一麻，已给刘正风点了穴道。 刘正风一招得手，左手抢过他手中令旗，右手拔剑，横架在他咽喉，左肘连撞，封了他背心三处穴道，任由向太年的尸身落在地下。这几下兔起鹘落，变化快极，待得费彬受制，五岳令旗遭夺，众人这才省悟，刘正风所使的正是衡山派绝技，叫做“百变千幻衡山云雾十三式”。众人久闻其名，这一次算是大开眼界。 岳不群当年曾听师父说过，这一套“百变千幻衡山云雾十三式”乃衡山派上代一位高手所创。这位高手以走江湖变戏法卖艺为生。那走江湖变戏法，仗的是声东击西，虚虚实实，幻人耳目。到得晚年，他武功愈高，变戏法的技能也是日增，竟然将内家功夫使用到戏法之中，街头观众一见，无不称赏，后来更是一变，反将变戏法的本领渗入了武功，五花八门，层出不穷。这位高手生性滑稽，当时创下这套武功游戏自娱，不料传到后世，竟成为衡山派的三大绝技之一。只是这套功夫变化虽然极奇，但临敌之际，却也并无太大用处，高手过招，人人严加戒备，全身门户无不守备綦谨，这些幻人耳目的花招多半使用不上，因此衡山派对这套功夫也并不如何着重，如见徒弟是飞扬佻脱之人，便不传授，以免他专务虚幻，于扎正根基的踏实功夫反而欠缺了。 刘正风一向深沉寡言，在师父手上学了这套功夫，平生从未一用，此刻临急而使，一击奏功，竟将嵩山派中这个大名鼎鼎、真实功夫决不在他之下的“大嵩阳手”费彬制服。他左手举着五岳剑派的盟旗，右手长剑架在费彬咽喉之中，沉声道：“丁师兄、陆师兄，刘某斗胆夺了五岳令旗，也不敢向两位要胁，只是向两位求情。” 丁勉与陆伯对望了一眼，均想：“费师弟受了他暗算，只好且听他有何话说。”丁勉道：“求什么情？”刘正风道：“求两位转告左盟主，准许刘某全家归隐，从此不参预武林中的任何事务。刘某与曲洋曲大哥从此不再相见，与众位师兄朋友，也……也就此分手。刘某携带家人弟子，远走高飞，隐居海外，有生之日，绝足不履中原一寸土地。” 丁勉微一踌躇，道：“此事我和陆师弟可做不得主，须得归告左师哥，请他示下。” 刘正风道：“这里泰山、华山两派掌门在此，恒山派有定逸师太，也可代她掌门师姊作主，此外，众位英雄好汉，俱可做个见证。”他眼光向众人脸上扫过，沉声道：“刘某向众位朋友求这个情，让我顾全朋友义气，也得保家人弟子的周全。” 定逸师太外刚内和，脾气虽然暴躁，心地却极慈祥，首先道：“如此甚好，也免得伤了大家的和气。丁师兄、陆师兄，咱们答应了刘贤弟吧。他既不再跟魔教中人结交，又远离中原，等如世上没了这人，又何必定要多造杀业？”天门道人点头道：“这样也好，岳贤弟，你以为如何？”岳不群道：“刘贤弟言出如山，他既这般说，大家都是信得过的。来来来，咱们化干戈为玉帛，刘贤弟，你放了费贤弟，大伙儿喝一杯解和酒，明儿一早，你带了家人子弟，便离开衡山城吧！” 陆柏却道：“泰山、华山两派掌门都这么说，定逸师太更竭力为刘正风开脱，我们又怎敢违抗众意？但费师弟刻下遭受刘正风的暗算，我们倘若就此答允，江湖上势必人人言道，嵩山派是受了刘正风的胁持，不得不低头服输，如此传扬开去，嵩山派脸面何存？” 定逸师太道：“刘贤弟是在向嵩山派求情，又不是威胁逼迫，要说'低头服输'，低头服输的是刘正风，不是嵩山派。何况你们又已杀了一名刘门弟子。” 陆柏哼了一声，说道：“狄修，预备着。”嵩山派弟子狄修应道：“是！”手中短剑轻送，抵进刘正风长子背心的肌肉。陆柏道：“刘正风，你要求情，便跟我们上嵩山去见左盟主，亲口向他求情。我们奉命差遣，可做不得主。你即刻把令旗交还，放了我费师弟。” 刘正风惨然一笑，向儿子道：“孩儿，你怕不怕死？”刘公子道：“孩儿听爹爹的话，孩儿不怕！”刘正风道：“好孩子！”陆柏喝道：“杀了！”狄修短剑往前一送，自刘公子的背心直刺入他心窝，短剑跟着拔出。刘公子俯身倒地，背心创口中鲜血泉涌。 刘夫人大叫一声，扑向儿子尸身。陆柏又喝道：“杀了！”狄修手起剑落，又是一剑刺入刘夫人背心。 定逸师太大怒，呼的一掌，向狄修击了过去，骂道：“禽兽！”丁勉抢上前来，也击出一掌。双掌相交，定逸师太退了三步，胸口一甜，一口鲜血涌到了嘴中，她要强好胜，硬生生将这口血咽入腹中。丁勉微微一笑，道：“承让！” 定逸师太原本不以掌力见长，何况适才这一掌击向狄修，以长攻幼，本就未使全力，也不拟这一掌击死了他，不料丁勉突然出手，他那一掌却是凝聚了十成功力。双掌陡然相交，定逸师太欲待再催内力，已然不及，丁勉的掌力如排山倒海般压到，定逸师太受伤呕血，大怒之下，第二掌待再击出，一运力间，只觉丹田中痛如刀割，心知受伤已然不轻，眼前无法与抗，一挥手，怒道：“咱们走！”大踏步向门外走去，门下群尼都跟了出去。 陆柏喝道：“再杀！”两名嵩山弟子推出短剑，又杀了两名刘门弟子。陆柏道：“刘门弟子听着，若要活命，此刻跪地求饶，指斥刘正风之非，便可免死。” 刘正风的女儿刘菁怒骂：“奸贼，你嵩山派比魔教奸恶万倍！”陆柏喝道：“杀了！”万登平提起长剑，一剑劈下，从刘菁右肩直劈至腰。史登达等嵩山弟子一剑一个，将早已点了穴道制住的刘门亲传弟子都杀了。 大厅上群雄虽然都是毕生在刀枪头上打滚之辈，见到这等屠杀惨状，也不禁心惊肉跳。有些前辈英雄本想出言阻止，但嵩山派动手实在太快，稍一犹豫之际，厅上已然尸横遍地。各人又想：自来正邪不两立，嵩山派此举并非出于对刘正风的私怨，而是为了对付魔教，虽然出手未免残忍，却也未可厚非。再者，其时嵩山派已控制全局，连恒山派的定逸师太亦已铩羽而去，眼见天门道人、岳不群等高手都不做声，这是他五岳剑派之事，旁人倘若多管闲事，强行出头，势不免惹下杀身之祸，自以明哲保身的为是。 杀到这时，刘门徒弟子女已只剩下刘正风最心爱的十五岁幼子刘芹。陆柏向史登达道：“问这小子求不求饶？若不求饶，先割了他的鼻子，再割耳朵，再挖眼珠，叫他零零碎碎地受苦。”史登达道：“是！”转向刘芹，问道：“你求不求饶？” 刘芹脸色惨白，全身发抖。刘正风道：“好孩子，你哥哥姊姊何等硬气，死就死了，怕什么？”刘芹颤声道：“可是……爹，他们要……要割我鼻子，挖……挖我眼睛……”刘正风哈哈一笑，道：“到这地步，难道你还想他们放过咱们么？”刘芹道：“爹爹，你……你就答允杀了曲……曲伯伯……”刘正风大怒，喝道：“放屁
