Wubagang is just at the junction of Shandong and Henan provinces, bordering Dingtao, Heze, Shandong in the east, and Dongming, Henan in the west.The terrain in this area is flat and there are many swamps. From a distance, Wubagang is not very high, and there are only a few mountains.A group of chariots and horses galloped towards the east, and within a few li, several horses came to greet them. When they arrived in front of the chariot, the riders got off their horses and greeted Linghu Chong loudly, with very respectful words. When approaching Wubagang, more and more people came to welcome us.These people reported their names, Linghu Chong couldn't remember many of them.The cart stopped in front of a high hill, and there was a big black pine forest on the hill, and a winding mountain road went up.

Huang Boliu helped Linghu Chong out of the cart.Long ago, two big men carried a soft sedan chair and waited for each other by the roadside.Linghu Chong wanted to sit in the sedan chair by himself, but Master, Mistress, and Junior Sister were all on foot. He felt uneasy, and said: "Master, you can sit in the sedan chair, the disciple can walk by himself." Madam Yue laughed and said: "They are only welcoming Mr. Linghu Chong, but It's not your teacher's wife." Unleashing lightness kung fu, he rushed up the hill.Yue Buqun, Yue Lingshan and his daughter also walked up the hill quickly.Linghu Chong had no choice but to sit in the sedan chair.

The sedan chair was carried into an open space among the pine forests on the hill, but there were clusters in the east and clusters in the west, with crowds of people rushing in. The appearance and expression of these people were all reckless men with three mountains and five mountains. The crowd rushed over like a swarm.Some said: "Is this Mr. Linghu?" Some said: "This is the elixir passed down from the villain's ancestors, and it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life." Some said: "This was done twenty years ago. The old ginseng dug in Changbai Mountain has already taken shape, please use it, Mr. Linghu." One person said: "These seven are the most capable and famous doctors in the six prefectures of eastern Shandong, I have invited them all to give you a pulse "These seven famous doctors were all tied up with thick ropes, and they were connected in a string, with frowning faces and haggard looks. How could they look like half-famous doctors?Obviously this person was caught by force, the word "please" is just a nice way to say it.Another person picked up two big bamboo baskets and said: "The villain brought some of all the precious medicinal materials in the Jinan prefecture. The villain has all the medicinal materials that the young master wants to use, so as not to be out of time. "

Linghu Chong saw that most of these people were dressed strangely and looked ferocious, but they showed sincerity to him, there was no doubt about it, so he couldn't help being very grateful.He has suffered setbacks recently, life and death are difficult to describe, and he is more susceptible to emotions. His chest felt hot, and he shed tears. He cupped his fists and said, "My friends, Linghu Chong is a nameless boy, and he has inherited all of you... You are so favored, really... really No... can't repay..." His words were choked with sobs, and it was difficult to resign, so he bowed down immediately.

All the heroes said one after another: "I dare not take it!" In an instant, more than a thousand people on the Wuba Gang fell to their knees, and only the masters and apprentices of Yue Buqun of the Huashan School and the Six Immortals of Peach Valley remained. It was inconvenient for Yue Buqun's master and apprentice to stand upright in front of the heroes, so they turned sideways to avoid the suspicion of receiving a gift.The Peach Valley Six Immortals pointed at Qunhao, laughing and talking nonsense. Linghu Chong and Qun Hao bowed to each other for several times, when they stood up, tears were streaming down their faces, and he said to himself: "No matter what the purpose of these friends is here, Linghu Chong will be crushed for them from now on, and he will die."

Huang Boliu, the leader of the Tianhe Gang, said: "Young Master Linghu, please rest in the thatched hut in front." He led him, Yue Buqun and his wife into a thatched hut.The thatched hut was newly built, with tables and chairs in it, and teapots and teacups on the table.As soon as Huang Boliu waved his hand, some of his subordinates poured wine, and others brought dry beef, ham and other things to go with the wine. Linghu Chong picked up the wine glass, walked outside the shed, and said loudly: "Everyone, Linghu Chong and you all met for the first time, we should drink together and make friends. From now on, we will share the blessings and troubles together. This glass of wine is our good friends. Let's drink together." As he spoke, he raised his right hand and poured a glass of wine up to the sky, and it immediately turned into thousands of wine drops, splashing everywhere.

The crowd cheered thunderously, and they all said: "Young Master Linghu is right, everyone will share your blessings and difficulties with you from now on." Yue Buqun frowned, thinking: "Chong'er acts recklessly and headstrong, disregarding the past, disregarding the future, and seeing these people treat him well, he tells them that we can share blessings and difficulties together. Among these people, I'm afraid None of them are well-behaved people, they are all like Tian Boguang. They rape and plunder, rob their homes, and you share the blessings with them? I am a decent man who wants to exterminate these villains, and you have the same difficulties as them ?”

Linghu Chong said again: "I don't know why all my friends care for Linghu Chong so much. But it doesn't matter if you know or don't know, if you have any embarrassing things, please let me know. A man is open and aboveboard, and there is nothing wrong with telling others. He must be useful to Linghu Chong, and he will never give up in the sword forest." He thought that these people had never known each other, but for his friendship, he must have a big matter to ask for his help, anyway, he always promised them Yes, it really can't be done, and it's just a death.

Huang Boliu said: "Where did Master Linghu come from? When all the friends heard that you are here, everyone admired you and wanted to admire the beauty, so they gathered here by coincidence. I also heard that you are not feeling well. Famous doctors, or looking for medicinal materials, but you never ask for your son. We are not in the same group, most of us are only famous for each other, and some are not in harmony. It's just that the son said that we will share the blessings in the future, and we will share the difficulties. Even if you’re not a good friend, you have to be a good friend.”

Qunhao said together: "That's right! Gang Leader Huang's words are right."
The man who led the seven famous doctors came over and said, "My lord, please go to the hut, how about having these seven famous doctors diagnose the pulse?" Linghu Chong thought to himself: "Mr. Ping Yizhi is so capable, how about mine?" There is no cure for the injury, so what do you seven doctors see?" Due to his good intentions, it was inconvenient to refuse, so he had to go into the hut. The man pulled seven famous doctors into the shed like a bunch of frogs.Linghu Chong smiled slightly, and said: "Brother, please let them go. I'm sorry they can't escape." He shouted: "If you can't cure Mr. Linghu, your necks will be broken like this." A doctor said: "Little... small people do their best, but the world...there is no such thing as a doctor. "The other said: "Look at the young master's spirit and energy, it must be cured by medicine." Several doctors rushed forward and gave him a pulse.

Suddenly someone shouted at the entrance of the shed: "Get the hell out of here, what's the point of this quack doctor?" Linghu Chong turned his head and saw that "Famous Killer Doctor" Ping Yi pointed at him, and said joyfully, "Mr. Ping, you are here too. I thought these doctors were useless." Ping walked into the hut with one finger, kicked a doctor out of the hut with his left foot together, and kicked a doctor out of the hut with his right foot together.The man who caught the doctor was in awe of Ping Yizhi, and shouted: "The most famous doctor in the world, Doctor Ping, has arrived. You guys, how dare you make a fool of yourself here!" With two bangs, the two doctors were also kicked out , the remaining three doctors ran out of the hut without waiting for their big feet to reach their buttocks.The man bowed and smiled apologetically, and said: "Young Master Linghu, Doctor Ping, I'm so presumptuous, you old..." Ping raised his left foot with one finger, and kicked the man out of the hut with a bang.This was beyond Linghu Chong's expectation, and he couldn't help but be astonished. Ping Yizhi said nothing, sat down, stretched out his hand to take the pulse of his right hand, and after a long time, took the pulse of his left hand again, switching endlessly like this, frowned, closed his eyes, and thought hard.Linghu Chong said: "Mr. Ping, mortals have their own destiny. Linghu Chong's injury is serious and difficult to treat. I have already put in so much effort, sir. I am very grateful. Sir, there is no need to worry about it anymore." All I could hear was the commotion outside the thatched shed, the sounds of fighting wine and guessing fists one after another, it was obvious that the Tianhe gang had already transported the wine and vegetables for the group to drink freely.Linghu Chong rushed outside the shed, hoping to have a great time with the group of heroes, but when Ping Yifinger intertwined with the pulse of his hand, it seemed endless, he thought to himself: "This Doctor Ping is called Ping Yizhi, and he claims to be the doctor. A person only uses one finger to get the pulse, and a murderer only uses one finger to touch the acupuncture points, but he is using more than one finger to get my pulse right now? Almost even ten fingers are used." With a sound of exasperation, a person came in with his head, it was Tao Ganxian, and said: "Linghu Chong, why don't you come to drink?" Linghu Chong said: "Here we are, you wait for me, don't try to get your fill. Tao Ganxian said: "Okay! Doctor Ping, hurry up." He retracted his head as he said. Ping slowly withdrew his hand with one finger, closed his eyes, and tapped lightly on the table with his right index finger, obviously perplexed, and after a long while, he opened his eyes and said: "Mr. Linghu, there are seven kinds of true qi in your body. They are in conflict with each other, and they can neither vent nor surrender. This is not a poisoning injury, nor is it wind-cold, damp-heat, so it cannot be cured by acupuncture, medicine and stones." Linghu Chong said: "Yes." Ping Yi pointed: "Since that day in Zhuxian Town After showing the young master the pulse, I have already figured out a method. As a chance, I want to invite seven people with profound internal energy to perform actions at the same time to eliminate the seven different qi in the young master. Today I have invited three Come together, invite two more from the group of heroes, there is no embarrassment, and with the respect of Master Yue and myself, you can treat it. But just now I gave the young master a pulse, and realized that the situation has changed, and it is more complicated and abnormal." Linghu Chong let out a "hmm". Ping Yi pointed out: "In the past few days, there have been four major changes. First, the young master has taken dozens of dry medicines that are very tonic, including ginseng, Shouwu, Ganoderma lucidum, Fuling and other rare medicines. The refining method of these tonics is used to feed pure yin women." Linghu Chong said "ah", and said: "That's right, senior's magical skills are really rare in ancient and modern times." Ping Yi pointed: "Young master Why did you take these tonics? It must have been misunderstood by a quack doctor, which is hateful and annoying." Linghu Chong thought to himself: "Zu Qianqiu stole the old man's 'Eight Extended Life Pills' and gave it to me. Know that there is a difference between men and women in tonics? If you say it, Doctor Ping will definitely blame him, or hide it for him." Said: "That is the younger generation's own mistake, so no one else should be blamed." Ping Yi pointed: "Your body is not good. It’s not qi deficiency, on the contrary, it’s too much zhenqi, and you suddenly take so many tonics, how can you get it? It’s like the flood of the Yangtze River, which has already caused a disaster. , The water from Poyang Lake is poured into the river, is there any reason not to cause a catastrophe? Only weak and weak girls who are congenitally deficient take this kind of tonic, it will be beneficial. But it is the young master who takes it, alas, great harm, great harm!" Linghu Chong I thought to myself: "I only hope that the old man's daughter, Miss Laobushi, will recover after drinking my blood." Ping pointed and said again: "The second big change is that the young master suddenly lost a lot of blood. With your current sickness, how can you fight with others again? Is it the way to prolong life if you are so brave and fierce? Alas, people treat you like this You don't know how to love yourself. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, so why do you want to be quicker than a moment?" He shook his head repeatedly.When he said these words, there was a look of great disapproval on his face. If the patient he was treating was not Linghu Chong, even if he didn't slap him, he would have scolded him harshly.Linghu Chong said: "Senior taught you well." Ping Yi pointed out: "Blood loss alone, that's fine, it's not difficult to treat, but you went to hang out with people from the Yunnan Five Poison Sect and drank their Five Immortals Great Tonic Wine." Linghu Chong said in surprise: "Yes. Five Immortals Great Tonic Wine?" Ping Yi pointed: "This Five Immortals Great Tonic Wine is made from the secret recipe handed down from the Five Poison Sect, and the five kinds of small poisonous insects soaked in it are extremely rare. It is said that each small insect takes more than ten years to mature. If it is cultivated successfully, there are dozens of other exotic flowers and herbs in the wine, which have the principle of growth and restraint. People who drink this medicinal wine will not suffer from all kinds of diseases, and will not be invaded by all kinds of poisons, and their power will increase sharply for more than ten years. The most miraculous tonic. This old man has admired her for a long time, and I can't wait to see you. I heard that Lan Fenghuang, a woman who guards her body like a jade, never pretends to any man, but just gave you such a precious medicinal wine taught by her. Alas, romantic boy, Be merciful everywhere, don't you know that you will suffer from it instead!" Linghu Chong could only smile wryly, and said: "Master Lan and this junior only met once in the Yellow River boat, and she gave her a gift of five immortal medicinal wine, and there is nothing else to do with it." Ping Yi stared at him for a while, nodded, and said: "In this way, Lan Fenghuang gave you this five immortals tonic wine, and that was for his face. What's more, although this wine can be very tonic, it is also very poisonous. Humph, what a fucking mess! His Five Poison Sect only relies on a few weird prescriptions handed down from his ancestors, what kind of shit does this little girl Lan Fenghuang know? Medicine, pharmacology? What a fucking mess!" Hearing him scolding so much, Linghu Chong felt that this person was too irritable, but seeing his pale face and heaving chest, it was obvious that he was extremely concerned about his injury, and he felt apologetic in his heart, and said: "Senior Ping, Master Lan It was also a good intention..." Ping Yi pointed and said angrily: "Good intentions, good intentions! Huh, which one of the world's quack doctors kills people with good intentions? Do you know that the number of people killed by quack doctors every day is greater than the number of people who die by knives in the world? Much more?" Linghu Chong said: "This is also very possible." Ping Yi pointed: "What is very possible? It is indeed the case. I, Ping Yi, have referred to people who have been treated before, why should she, Lan Fenghuang, come to be a leader again? ? Your blood is highly poisonous at the moment, if you want to dissolve it one by one, you will have a violent collision with the seven true qi, and it may kill you within three hours." Linghu Chong thought to himself: "My blood is highly poisonous, it's not necessarily the result of drinking the five immortals' medicinal wine. Leader Lan and those four Miao girls injected my blood with the blood from their bodies. These people get along day and night There are poisonous things in the company, the food also contains poisons, the blood is inevitably poisonous, but they have been used to it for a long time, and it will not hurt the body. You can't tell the seniors about this, or he will get more angry." Said: "Medical and pharmacological, Subtle and profound, it is beyond the comprehension of human beings.” Ping Yizhi sighed and said: "If it's just a mistake in taking tonic, a lot of blood loss, or drinking medicinal wine by mistake, I still have a way to cure it. This fourth big change really makes me helpless. Alas, it's all you Not good!" Linghu Chong said: "Yes, it's all my own fault." Ping Yi pointed: "During the past few days, why have you become so disheartened and don't want to live anymore? What serious grievances have you suffered? Last time in Zhuxian Town I took your pulse and found that although your injury is serious and your condition is strange, you have a strong heart, a cheerful heart, and a sense of vitality. I will extend your life for a hundred days first, and then during these hundred days, no matter what Try to cure your strange disease. At that time, I was not fully sure, and I was not in a hurry to explain it to you, but now I don’t even have this vitality, why?" Hearing his question about this matter, Linghu Chong couldn't help feeling sad, thinking: "Master suspected that I had swallowed up Xiao Linzi's "Sword of Resisting Evil" before, that's nothing, the man has no shame in his heart, this matter will always come to light, but... But even Junior Sister is suspicious of me, because of Xiao Linzi, she ruined me to nothing, so what's the point of me living in this world?" Without waiting for his answer, Ping continued: "Taking your pulse, this is another entanglement of love. In fact, the women in the world are tasteless in speech, hideous in appearance, perverted, and irritable. It is best to avoid them from a distance. It’s going to heaven and earth, there’s no way to avoid it, so you can only tolerate it with all your strength, pretending to be a snake. Why are you so unable to figure it out, but miss them day and night? This is a big mistake. Although, although that... well, I don’t know how to talk about it?" As he spoke, he shook his head again and again. Linghu Chong thought to himself: "Your wife's words are tasteless, her face is hideous, her temper is perverted, and she has a violent temper. You have gone to heaven and earth, and there is no way to escape, but not all women in the world are like this. You use your own wife to describe all women in the world. Well, it's really funny. If my junior sister's words are really tasteless and her face is hideous..." Peach Blossom Immortal took two bowls of wine with both hands, walked to the entrance of the thatched shed, and said, "Hey, Doctor Ping, why hasn't it been cured yet?" "It can't be cured, so what do you do?" Turning to Linghu Chong, he said, "It's better to come out for a drink." Linghu Chong said, "Okay!" Let's go, two bowls of wine are poured all over the body. Ping Yi pointed out: "Mr. Linghu, if you want to heal your injury completely, even a Daluo Jinxian, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it, but it is not impossible to prolong your life for several months or even years. But you must listen to me, First, you must stop drinking; second, you must put away your thoughts and thoughts, and you must never touch women, let alone touch them, and you can't even think about them; third, you must not use force with others. These three things are quitting alcohol, sex, and fighting. If things can be done, then maybe we can live for another year or two." Linghu Chong laughed out loud.Ping pointed angrily and said: "What's so ridiculous?" Linghu Chong said: "In life, you will be happy and carefree. You can't even drink wine, women can't think, and you can't fight back when you are bullied. What kind of person are you? It's better to die as soon as possible. , Come quickly." Ping Yizhi said sharply: "I must make you quit, otherwise I can't cure your disease, wouldn't my reputation be ruined?" Linghu Chong stretched out his hand, pressed the back of his right hand, and said, "Senior Ping, this junior will be grateful for your kindness. It's just that life and death have their own destiny. Although seniors are good at medicine, it's hard to save people who are destined to die, and I can't cure my illness." , without any damage to the reputation of the predecessors." The meaning is very sincere. With a loud sound, another person came in with his head, but it was Peach Root Immortal, who said loudly, "Linghu Chong, have you been cured yet?" "Wonderful, wonderful." Come in, grab his sleeve, and say, "Go drink, drink!" Linghu Chong gave Ping a deep bow, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, senior." Ping didn't return the salute with a single finger, frowning and muttering to himself in a low voice. Tao Genxian said: "I said that he must be cured. He is a 'famous doctor for murder'. He heals one person and kills another. If he can't heal one person, then what should we do? Don't you understand?" Linghu Chong laughed. Said: "Nonsense!" The two walked out of the hut arm in arm. The crowd gathered around to drink.Linghu Chong walked all the way, when someone poured wine, the glass was drained. Qunhao saw him enjoying himself, drinking heavily, chatting and laughing happily, all of them were happy, and they all said: "Mr. Linghu is so arrogant and dry, it makes people heartbroken." Linghu Chong continued to drink more than ten bowls of wine, and suddenly remembered Ping Yizhi, poured a large bowl of wine, and sang loudly: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today..." Walking into the thatched shed, he said: "Senior Ping, I respect you A bowl of wine." Under the flickering candlelight, I saw Ping Yizhi's expression changed drastically.Linghu Chong was startled, and immediately woke up from the drunkenness.When looking closely at him, the original black hair has become snow white, and the wrinkles on his face are deeply sunken. In a few hours, he seems to have aged ten or twenty years.He only heard him muttering: "Heal one person, but kill one person, what should I do?" Linghu Chong's blood surged, and he said loudly: "What is Linghu Chong's life worth? Why should you always worry about it, senior?" Ping Yi pointed out: "If you can't heal someone, then kill me, otherwise what is called a 'killing doctor'?" He stood up suddenly, swayed a few times, spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood, and fell to the ground. Linghu Chong was startled, when he rushed to help him, he felt that he had stopped breathing, he was actually dead.Linghu Chong picked him up, not knowing what to do.He could hear the sound of drinking outside the thatched shed getting weaker, and his heart was filled with desolation.Stand quietly for a long time, can not help but shed tears.Ping Yizhi's body was getting heavier and heavier in his hands, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he put it gently on the ground.
Suddenly a person walked into the thatched shed quietly, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Linghu!" Seeing that it was Zu Qianqiu, Linghu Chong said sadly: "Senior Zu, Dr. Ping is dead." He said in a low voice: "Mr. Linghu, I beg you for one thing. If anyone asks, please tell me that you have never seen Zu Qianqiu's face, okay?" Linghu Chong was stunned, and asked: "Then why?" Zu Qianqiu Said: "It's nothing, it's just...just...cough, goodbye, goodbye!" He stepped out of the thatched shed, followed by another person, who was Sima Da, and said to Linghu Chong: "Mr. Linghu, I have something that I can't say... I can't say this... If someone asks, someone Whoever gathers on Wubagang, please don't mention my name, I will be very grateful." Linghu Chong said: "Yes. But why?" Sima Da looked coy, like a child who did something wrong and suddenly gave up. The person caught him and murmured, "This... this..." Linghu Chong said: "Linghu Chong is not worthy to be Your Excellency's friend, so he will not dare to climb up to you from now on." Sima Da's expression changed, and he suddenly bent his knees, bowed down, and said: "Master, you can kill me if you say such things. I am sorry. I beg you not to mention the matter of coming to Wubagang, just so as not to provoke anger, the young master suddenly became suspicious, what I said just now, I just regarded it as Sima farting!" Linghu Chong hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, saying: "Why did Island Master Sima do such a great gift? May I ask Island Master, why did you make people angry when you came to see me on Wubagang? Since this person hates Linghu Chong so much, it's better to come for the next person..." Sima Dalian repeatedly Shaking his hand, he said with a smile: "The more you talk, the more you can't speak. This man is too late to love you, so what's the reason to hate him? Alas, the villain is so rough that he really can't speak. Goodbye, goodbye. All in all, Sima Da Now that I have made you a friend, if you have any errands in the future, you just need to send a message, go in the fire, go in the water, Sima Da only needs to frown, and the eighteen generations of ancestors are all bastards!" said Patting his chest, he strode out of the hut. Linghu Chong was so strange, he thought to himself: "This person is sincere to me, there is absolutely no doubt about it. But why does he come to see me at Wubagang, making people angry? And the angry person doesn't hate me, so he still treats me Very good, how can there be such a strange thing in the world? If you really treat me very well and make friends with me, he should be happy." Suddenly remembered something, and thought: "Ah, yes, this person must be a decent person My senior loves me very much, but he doesn't like me to associate with these heretics. Could it be Uncle Feng Tai? In fact, people like Island Master Sima are straightforward, what's wrong?" Only someone outside the thatched shed coughed lightly and called out in a low voice: "Mr. Linghu." Linghu Chong heard Huang Boliu's voice and said, "Guangzhu Huang, please come in." Huang Boliu walked into the shed and said, "Linghu Mr. Fox, some friends want me to tell you that they are in a hurry and have to go back to take care of it immediately, so please forgive me before saying goodbye to you." Linghu Chong said, "You're welcome." The noise was muffled, and many people had already left. Huang Boliu said hesitantly: "This matter, heck, we really did it recklessly. Firstly, everyone is curious, and secondly, they want to be courteous. Unexpectedly... Well, people are thin-skinned and don't want to publicize it. Those of us who are rough and rough, don’t understand. The Lan leader is also a girl from the Miao family, this..." Linghu Chong heard that his preface was wrong, and he couldn't figure it out. He asked, "Does the leader of Huang want me not to mention the matter on Wubagang to others?" It can be denied, Huang Boliu can't be blamed. The Tianhe gang entertained the young master on Wuba Gang, so they have to admit it." Linghu Chong snorted, and said: "It doesn't mean that you bought me a glass of wine. A big crime. A man, what is there to blame?" Huang Boliu hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Young master, you must not be overwhelmed. Alas, old Huang is born with a foolish temper. If he had asked my daughter-in-law first, or my granddaughter, he would not have offended others. I don't know yet. Well, I, a rough man, married a wife at the age of seventeen, and I just blame my daughter-in-law for being short-lived and dying too early, which made me unable to understand women's concerns." Linghu Chong thought to himself: "No wonder Master said that they are heretics, this man really speaks upside down. He invited me to drink, but he actually wanted to ask his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and blamed his wife for dying too early." Huang Boliu said again: "That's the way it is, that's it. My son, you said you knew Lao Huang long ago, and you have been my old friend for decades, okay? Ah, no, just say that you have been with me for eight or nine years." Friends, when you were fifteen or sixteen years old, you gambled and drank with Lao Huang." Linghu Chong laughed and said: "When I was four years old, I played dice with you and drank old wine. How did you forget? It's not the same today. Twenty years of friendship?" Huang Boliu was startled, then realized that what he said was ironic, smiled wryly and said, "Young master said so, of course it is the best. It's just... It's just that Huang robbed his family twenty years ago, and what he did was all shady deeds. How could you make friends with me? Hehe...this..." Linghu Chong said: "Guangzhu Huang is straightforward, which shows that he is upright. I must have made you a good friend twenty years ago." Huang Boliu was overjoyed and said loudly "Okay, okay, we are old friends from twenty years ago." Looking back, he lowered his voice and said, "Young master, take care, you have a good conscience. Although you are sick in front of you, you can be cured eventually, let alone holy... holy... Supernatural powers... ah!" With a loud cry, he turned his head and walked away. Linghu Chong thought to himself: "What holy... saint... has great supernatural powers? It's really inexplicable." Only the sound of horseshoes gradually faded away, and all the noise stopped.He stared blankly at Ping Yizhi's body for a long while, then came out of the shed, he was suddenly startled, the hill was so quiet, there was no one there.Originally, he only thought that even if the group of heroes stopped drinking and some people left him, they would not leave in a short while.He raised his voice and called: "Master, Master!" But no one answered.He called again: "Second Junior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, Junior Junior Sister!" Still no one answered. The crescent moon was shining slantingly, and the breeze couldn't blow, and he was the only one on the big five tyrants hill.Seeing wine pots, bowls and dishes all over the floor, and hats, capes, coats, belts, etc. scattered around, the group of heroes left in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to pack their things.He was even more surprised: "They walked in such a hurry, it seems that some fierce beasts suddenly came, and they had to run away quickly. These men seemed to be fearless of the sky and the earth, but they suddenly became very timid. It is really incomprehensible .Master, master wife, little junior sister, where are they? If there is any danger here, why didn't you call me?" Suddenly there was a feeling of desolation in my heart, I felt that although the world is big, no one cares about my own safety, not long ago, there were so many people competing to make money with him, now even though they are relatives of master and wife, they are abandoning him as if leave. With a sore heart, a few bursts of true energy surged up in his body, he swayed, and fell down.Struggling to get up, he groaned a few times, but couldn't exert any strength.He closed his eyes to rest his mind, rested for a while, tried to stand up again for the second time, but unexpectedly this time he exerted too much force, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.
I don't know how much time has passed, I heard a few soft sounds of the qin in a daze, my mind gradually recovered, the sound of the qin is elegant and slow, after I listened to it, my agitated mood immediately calmed down, it was "" Purity of Heart and Universal Good Mantra".Linghu Chong seemed to be drifting in the vast sea, when he suddenly saw a small island, his spirits lifted, he stood up, heard the sound of the zither coming from the hut, and walked over step by step, and saw that the door of the hut was closed. Cover up. He stopped six or seven steps in front of the thatched hut, thinking: "Listening to the sound of the zither, it is the mother-in-law in the Luzhu Lane in Luoyang City who has arrived. When I was in Luoyang, she didn't want me to see her face. At this moment If I don't have her permission, how can I rush in through the door?" He bowed and said, "Linghu Chong sees senior." The sound of the piano ding dong ding dong rang a few times and then stopped abruptly.Linghu Chong felt that the sound of the piano seemed to be full of consolation, it was indescribably comfortable, he understood that there was still someone in the world who cared about him, and his heart was instantly filled with gratitude. Suddenly someone said in the distance: "Someone is playing the qin! Those heretical thieves are still here." Then I heard a very loud voice saying: "These evil spirits dare to come to Henan to play wild, do they still think of us?" When he said this, he raised his voice and shouted: "Who are those bastards? , messing around on Wuba Gang, all of them will report to me!" He was full of energy, and his voice shook the whole field, extremely powerful. Linghu Chong thought to himself: "No wonder Sima Da, Huang Boliu, and Zu Qianqiu were so frightened that they ran away immediately. There are indeed some decent experts who came to challenge them." Manly, but since the person who came could frighten the crowd, he must be a senior with exceptional martial arts skills. I thought: "They ask me, but it is difficult to answer, it is better to avoid it." Immediately walked behind the thatched shed , Thinking again: "The old woman in the shed, I don't think they will make things difficult for her." At this time, the sound of the piano in the shed also stopped. With the sound of footsteps, three people came up the hill.After the three of them went up to the hill, they all let out a "huh", obviously surprised at the silence and no one on the hill. The man with a loud voice said: "Where have all the bastards gone?" A man with a soft voice said: "They heard that the second master of the Shaolin Sect came up to eliminate rape and exorcise demons, so naturally they all ran away with their tails between their legs. The other person laughed and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say! That's probably because of Brother Tan's prestige from the Kunlun School." The three of them laughed loudly. Linghu Chong thought to himself: "It turns out that two belong to the Shaolin Sect and one belongs to the Kunlun Sect. The Shaolin Sect has always been the leader of the martial arts since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. The Shaolin Sect alone has a higher prestige than my Five Sacred Sword Sect Alliance. It may also be stronger. Stronger. Master Fang Zheng, the master of the Shaolin School, is admired by everyone in the martial arts world. Master often said that the Kunlun School's swordsmanship is unique, and it also has the strength of Shen Xiong's lightness. The combination of the two schools is indeed powerful. Forward, there are big help behind. But why should master and mistress avoid it?" After thinking about it, I understood: "Yes, my master is the head of the Ming sect, and he is mixed with people with a bad reputation like Huang Boliu. Together, it would be embarrassing to see the masters of Shaolin and Kunlun." Just listen to the Kunlun sect surnamed Tan saying: "Just now I heard the sound of playing the qin on the hill, but where did that person hide? Brother Xin, brother Yi, I'm afraid there is something strange about it." The voice was loud and loud. One person said: "That's right, brother Tan is more careful, let's search and drag him out." The other person said: "Senior brother Xin, I'll go and have a look in the thatched shed." After hearing this, Linghu Chong knew that This person's surname is Yi, and the person with the loud voice is surnamed Xin, who is his senior brother.Hearing that the surname Yi walked towards the thatched shed. A clear female voice in the shed said: "The concubine lives alone, and it is inconvenient for men and women to meet each other during the night." The surname Xin said: "It's a woman." The surname Yi said: "Did you play the piano just now?" The mother-in-law said: "Exactly." The surname Yi said: "Play a few more times and listen." The mother-in-law said: "I don't know each other before, how can I just play the piano for you?" The surname Xin said: "Hmph, what's so rare? There must be something weird in the thatched shed. Let's go in and have a look." The surname is Yi He said: "You said that you are a single woman, who works in the middle of the night, but what are you doing on Wubagang? Nine times out of ten, you are with those evil spirits. Let's come in and search." As he spoke, he strode towards the thatched shed door. go. Linghu Chong flashed out from his hiding place, blocked the door of the thatched shed, and shouted: "Hold on!" The three of them didn't expect someone to appear suddenly, they were slightly startled, but seeing that it was a single boy, they didn't take it too seriously.The one surnamed Xin shouted loudly: "Who is the boy? What are you doing sneakily hiding in the dark?" Linghu Chong said: "Linghu Chong is the Huashan sect, see the seniors of the Shaolin and Kunlun sects." He bowed deeply to the three of them. The one surnamed Yi snorted and said, "It's from the Huashan sect? What are you doing here?" Linghu Chong saw that this man surnamed Xin was not very tall, but his chest protruded like a drum, no wonder his voice was so loud. .Another middle-aged man was wearing the same red-colored robe as him, so he must have the same surname as Yi.That Kunlun sect surnamed Tan had a sword hanging from his back, and he wore a wide robe with big sleeves, and his demeanor was quite chic.The one surnamed Yi didn't wait for his answer, and asked again: "Since you are a disciple of the decent sect, why are you on Wuba Gang?" Linghu Chong had been angry for a long time when he heard their bastards scolding, now he was even more impolite when he heard his words, and said: "The three seniors are also decent people, but aren't they also on Wuba Gang?" The old man laughed, and said: "Well said, do you know who is the woman playing the piano in the thatched shed?" Linghu Chong said: "That is a respectable and respectable mother-in-law." The surname Yi scolded Said: "Nonsense! Listening to this woman's voice, it is obvious that she is not very old. Why is she not a mother-in-law?" Linghu Chong laughed and said: "This mother-in-law has a nice voice, so what's so strange? Her nephew is also older than you Twenty or thirty years old, let alone mother-in-law." Yi said, "Get out of the way! Let's go in and have a look." Linghu Chong stretched out his hands, and said: "Grandma said, it's inconvenient for men and women to meet each other between nights. She doesn't know you before, why would she meet for no reason?" 姓易的袖子一拂,一股劲力疾卷过来,令狐冲内力全失,毫无抵御之能,扑地摔倒。姓易的没料到他竟全无武功,倒是一怔,冷笑道:“你是华山派弟子?只怕吹牛!”说着走向草棚。 令狐冲站起身来,脸上已给地下石子擦出了一条血痕,说道:“婆婆不愿跟你们相见,你怎可无礼?在洛阳城中,我曾跟婆婆说了好几日话,却也没见到她一面。”那姓易的道:“这小子,说话没上没下,你再不让开,是不是想再摔一大跤?”令狐冲道:“少林派是武林中声望最高的名门大派,两位定是少林派中的俗家高手。这位想来也必是昆仑派中赫赫有名之辈,黑夜之中,却来欺侮一个年老婆婆,岂不叫江湖上好汉笑话?” 那姓易的喝道:“偏有你这么多废话!”左手突出,啪的一声,在令狐冲左颊上重重打了一掌。 令狐冲内力虽失,但见他右肩微沉,便知他左手要出掌打人,急忙闪避,却腰腿不由使唤,这一掌终于没法避开,身子打了两个转,眼前一黑,坐倒在地。 那姓辛的道:“易师弟,这人不会武功,不必跟他一般见识,妖邪之徒早已逃光,咱们走吧!”那姓易的道:“鲁豫之间的左道妖邪突然都到五霸冈上聚集,顷刻间又散得干干净净。聚得固然古怪,散得也挺希奇。这件事非查个明白不可。在这草棚之中,多半能找到些端倪。”说着伸手便去推草棚门。 令狐冲站起身来,手中已然多了一柄长剑,说道:“易前辈,草棚中这位婆婆于在下有恩,我只须有一口气在,决不许你冒犯她老人家。” 那姓易的哈哈大笑,道:“你凭什么?便凭手中这口长剑么?” 令狐冲道:“晚辈武艺低微,怎能是少林派高手之敌?只不过万事抬不过一个理字。你要进这草棚,先得杀了我。” 那姓辛的道:“易师弟,这小子倒挺有骨气,是条汉子,由他去吧。”那姓易的笑道:“听说你华山派剑法颇有独得之秘,还有什么剑宗、气宗之分。你是剑宗呢,还是气宗?又还是什么屁宗?哈哈,哈哈!”他这么一笑,那姓辛的、姓谭的跟着也大笑起来。 令狐冲朗声道:“恃强逞暴,叫什么名门正派?你是少林派弟子?只怕吹牛!” 那姓易的大怒,右掌一立,便要向令狐冲胸口拍去。眼见这一掌拍落,令狐冲便要立毙当场,那姓辛的说道:“且住!令狐冲,若是名门正派的弟子,便不能跟人动手吗?”令狐冲道:“既是正派中人,每次出手,总得说出个名堂。” 那姓易的缓缓伸出手掌,道:“我说一二三,数到三字,你再不让开,我便打断你三根肋骨。一!”令狐冲微微一笑,说道:“打断三根肋骨,何足道哉!”那姓易的大声数道:“二!”那姓辛的道:“小朋友,我这个师弟,说过的话一定算数,你快快让开吧。” 令狐冲微笑道:“我这张嘴巴,说过的话也一定算数。令狐冲既还没死,岂能让你们对婆婆无礼?”说了这句话后,知道那姓易的一掌便将击到,暗自运了口气,将力道贯到右臂之上,但胸口登感剧痛,眼前只见千千万万颗金星乱飞乱舞。 那姓易的喝道:“三!”左足踏上一步,眼见令狐冲背靠草棚板门,嘴角边微微冷笑,毫无让开之意,右掌便即拍出。 令狐冲只感呼吸一窒,对方掌力已然袭体,手中长剑递出,对准了他掌心。这一剑方位时刻,拿捏得妙到颠毫,那姓易的右掌拍出,竟来不及缩手,嗤的一声轻响,跟着“啊”的一声大叫,长剑剑尖已从他掌心直通而过。他急忙缩臂回掌,又是嗤的一声,将手掌从剑锋上拔了出去。这一下受伤极重,他急跃退开数丈,左手从腰间拔出长剑,惊怒交集,叫道:“贼小子装傻,原来武功好得很啊!我……我跟你拚了。” 辛、易、谭三人都是使剑的好手,眼见令狐冲长剑一起,并未递剑出招,单是凭着方位和时刻的拿捏,即令对方手掌自行送到他剑尖之上,剑法上的造诣,实已到了高明之极的境界。那姓易的虽气恼之极,却也已不敢轻敌,左手持剑,刷刷刷连攻三剑,却都是试敌的虚招,每一招剑至中途,便即缩回。 那晚令狐冲在药王庙外连伤一十五名好手的双目,当时内力虽然亦已失却,终不如目前这般又连续受了几次大损,几乎抬臂举剑亦已有所不能。眼见那姓易的连发三下虚招,剑尖不绝颤抖,显是少林派上乘剑法,更不愿与他为敌,说道:“在下绝无得罪三位前辈之意,只须三位离此他去,在下……在下愿意诚心赔罪。” 那姓易的哼了一声,道:“此刻求饶,已然迟了。”长剑疾刺,直指令狐冲的咽喉。 令狐冲行动不便,知这一剑无可躲避,当即挺剑刺出,后发先至,噗的一声响,正中他左手手腕要穴。 那姓易的五指一张,长剑落地。其时东方曙光已现,他眼见自己手腕上鲜血一点点地滴在地下绿草之上,竟不信世间有这等事,过了半晌,才长叹一声,掉头便走。 那姓辛的本就不想与华山派结仇,又见令狐冲这一剑精妙绝伦,自己也决非对手,挂念师弟伤势,叫道:“易师弟!”随后赶去。 那姓谭的侧目向令狐冲凝视片刻,问道:“阁下当真是华山弟子?”令狐冲身子摇摇欲坠,道:“正是!”那姓谭的瞧出他已身受重伤,虽然剑法精妙,但只须再挨得片刻,不用相攻,他自己便会支持不住,眼前正有个大便宜可捡,心想:“适才少林派的两名好手一伤一走,栽在华山派这少年手下,我如将他打倒,擒去少林寺,交给掌门方丈发落,不但给了少林派一个极大人情,而且昆仑派在中原也大大露脸。”当即踏上一步,微笑道:“少年,你剑法不错,跟我比一下拳掌上的功夫,你瞧怎样?” 令狐冲一见他神情,便已测知他的心思,心想这人好生奸猾,比少林派那姓易的更加可恶,挺剑便往他肩头刺去。岂知剑到中途,手臂已然无力,当的一声响,长剑落地。那姓谭的大喜,呼的一掌,重重拍正在令狐冲胸口。令狐冲哇的一声,喷出一大口鲜血。 两人相距甚近,这口鲜血对准了这姓谭的,直喷在他脸上,更有数滴溅入了他口中。那姓谭的嘴里尝到一股血腥味,也不在意,深恐令狐冲拾剑反击,右掌一起,又欲拍出,突然间一阵昏晕,摔倒在地。 令狐冲见他忽在自己垂危之时摔倒,既感奇怪,又自庆幸,见他脸上显出一层黑气,肌肉不住扭曲颤抖,模样诡异可怖,说道:“你用错了真力,只好怪自己了!” 游目四顾,五霸冈上更无一个人影,树梢百鸟声喧,地下散满了酒肴兵刃,种种情状,说不出的古怪。他伸袖抹拭口边血迹,说道:“婆婆,别来福体安康。”那婆婆道:“公子此刻不可劳神,请坐下休息。”令狐冲确已全身更无半分力气,当即依言坐下。 只听得草棚内琴声轻轻响起,宛如一股清泉在身上缓缓流过,又缓缓注入了四肢百骸,令狐冲全身轻飘飘的,更无半分着力处,便似飘上了云端,置身于棉絮般的白云之上。 过了良久良久,琴声越来越低,终于细不可闻而止。令狐冲精神一振,站起身来,深深一揖,说道:“多谢婆婆雅奏,令晚辈大得补益。”那婆婆道:“你舍命力抗强敌,让我不致受辱于伧徒,该我谢你才是。”令狐冲道:“婆婆说哪里话来?此是晚辈义所当为。” 那婆婆半晌不语,琴上发出轻轻的仙翁、仙翁之声,似是手拨琴弦,暗自沉吟,有什么事好生难以委决,过了一会,问道:“你……你这要上哪里去?” 令狐冲登时胸口热血上涌,只觉天地虽大,却无容身之所,不由得连声咳嗽,好容易咳嗽止息,才道:“我……我无处可去。” 那婆婆道:“你不去寻你师父、师娘?不去寻你的师弟,师……师妹他们了?”令狐冲道:“他们……他们不知到哪里去了,我伤势沉重,寻不着他们。就算寻着了,唉!”一声长叹,心道:“就算寻着了,却又怎地?他们也不要我了。” 那婆婆道:“你受伤不轻,何不去风物佳胜之处,登临山水,以遣襟怀?却也强于徒自悲苦。”令狐冲哈哈一笑,说道:“婆婆说得是,令狐冲于生死之事,本来也不怎么放在心上。晚辈这就别过,下山游玩去也!”说着向草棚一揖,转身便走。 他走出三步,只听那婆婆道:“你……你这便去了吗?”令狐冲站住了道:“是。”那婆婆道:“你伤势不轻,孤身行走,旅途之中,乏人照料,可不大妥当。”令狐冲听得那婆婆言语之中颇为关切,心头又是一热,说道:“多谢婆婆挂怀。我的伤是治不好的了,早死迟死,死在哪里,也没多大分别。” 那婆婆道:“嗯,原来如此。只不过……只不过……”隔了好一会,才道:“你走了之后,倘若那两个少林派的恶徒又来啰唣,却不知如何是好?这昆仑派的谭迪人一时昏晕,醒来之后,只怕又会找我的麻烦。”令狐冲道:“婆婆,你要去哪里?我护送你一程如何?”那婆婆道:“本来甚好,只是中间有个极大难处,生怕连累了你。”令狐冲道:“令狐冲的性命是婆婆所救,有什么连累不连累的?”那婆婆叹了口气,说道:“我有个厉害对头,寻到洛阳绿竹巷来跟我为难,我避到了这里,但朝夕之间,他又会追踪到来。你伤势未愈,不能跟他动手,我只想找个隐僻所在暂避,等约齐了帮手再跟他算账。要你护送我吧,一来你身上有伤,二来你一个鲜龙活跳的少年,陪着我这老太婆,岂不闷坏了你?” 令狐冲哈哈大笑,说道:“我道婆婆有什么事难以委决,却原来是如此区区小事。你要去哪里,我送你到哪里便是,不论天涯海角,只要我还没死,总是护送婆婆前往。”那婆婆道:“如此生受你了。当真是天涯海角,你都送我去?”语音中大有欢喜之意。令狐冲道:“不错,不论天涯海角,令狐冲都随婆婆前往。” 那婆婆道:“这可另有一个难处。”令狐冲道:“却是什么?”那婆婆道:“我的相貌十分丑陋,不管是谁见了,都会吓坏了他,因此我说什么也不愿给人见到。否则的话,刚才那三人要进草棚来,见他们一见又有何妨?你得答允我一件事,不论在何等情景之下,都不许向我看上一眼,不能瞧我的脸,不能瞧我的身子手足,也不能瞧我的衣服鞋袜。”令狐冲道:“晚辈尊敬婆婆,感激婆婆对我关怀,至于婆婆容貌如何,那有什么干系?” 那婆婆道:“你既不能答应此事,那你便自行去吧。”令狐冲忙道:“好,好!我答允就是,晚辈不论在何等情景之下,决不向婆婆看上一眼。”那婆婆道:“连我的背影也不许看。”令狐冲心想:“难道连你的背影也丑陋不堪?世上最难看的背影,若非侏儒,便是驼背,那也没什么。我和你一同长途跋涉,连背影也不许看,只怕有些不易。” 那婆婆听他迟疑不答,问道:“你办不到么?” 令狐冲道:“办得到,办得到。要是我瞧了婆婆一眼,我剜了自己眼睛。” 那婆婆道:“你可要记着才好。你先走,我跟在你后面。” 令狐冲道:“是!”迈步向冈下走去,只听得脚步之声细碎,那婆婆在后面跟了上来。走了数丈,那婆婆递了一根树枝过来,说道:“你把这树枝当做拐杖撑着走。” 令狐冲道:“是。”撑着树枝,慢慢下冈。走了一程,忽然想起一事,问道:“婆婆,那昆仑派姓谭的,你知道他名字?”那婆婆道:“嗯,这谭迪人是昆仑派第二代弟子中的好手,剑法上学到了他师父的六七成功夫,比起他大师兄、二师兄来,却还差得远。那少林派的大个子辛国梁,剑法还比他强些。” 令狐冲道:“原来那大喉咙汉子叫做辛国梁,这人倒似乎还讲道理。”那婆婆道:“他师弟叫做易国梓,那就无赖得紧了。你一剑穿过他右掌,一剑刺伤他左腕,这两剑可帅得很哪。”令狐冲道:“那是出于无奈,唉,这一下跟少林派结了梁子,不免后患无穷。”那婆婆道:“少林派便怎样?咱们未必便斗他们不过。我可没想到那谭迪人会用掌打你,更没想到你会吐血。”令狐冲道:“婆婆,你都瞧见了?那谭迪人不知如何会突然晕倒?”那婆婆道:“你不知道么?蓝凤凰和手下的四名苗女给你注血,她们日日夜夜跟毒物为伍,血中含毒,那不用说了,那五仙酒更剧毒无比。谭迪人口中溅到你的毒血,自然抵受不住。” 令狐冲恍然大悟,“哦”了一声,道:“我反而抵受得住,也真奇怪。我跟那蓝教主无冤无仇,不知她何以要下毒害我?”那婆婆道:“谁说她要害你了?她是对你一片好心,哼,妄想治你的伤来着。要你血中有毒而你性命无碍,原是她五毒教的拿手好戏。”令狐冲道:“是,我原想蓝教主并无害我之意。平一指大夫说她的药酒是大补之物。”那婆婆道:“她当然不会害你,要对你好也来不及呢。”令狐冲微微一笑,又问:“不知那谭迪人会不会死?”那婆婆道:“那要瞧他的功力如何了。不知有多少毒血溅入了他口中。” 令狐冲想起谭迪人中毒后脸上的神情,不由得打了个寒噤,又走出十余丈后,突然想起一事,叫道:“啊哟,婆婆,请你在这儿等我一等,我得回上冈去。”那婆婆问道:“干什么?”令狐冲道:“平大夫的遗体在冈上尚未掩埋。”那婆婆道:“不用回去啦,我已把他尸体化了,埋了。”令狐冲道:“啊,原来婆婆已将平大夫安葬了。”那婆婆道:“也不是什么安葬。我是用药将他尸体化了。在那草棚之中,难道叫我整晚对着一具尸首?平一指活着的时候已没什么好看,变了尸首,这副模样,你自己想想吧。” 令狐冲“嗯”了一声,只觉这位婆婆行事实在出人意表,平一指对自己有恩,他身死之后,该当好好将他入土安葬才是,但这婆婆却用药化去他的尸体,越想越不安,可是用药化去尸体有什么不对,却又说不上来。 行出数里,已到了冈下平阳之地。那婆婆道:“你张开手掌!”令狐冲应道:“是!”心下奇怪,不知她又有什么花样,当即依言伸出手掌,张了开来,只听得噗的一声轻响,一件细物从背后抛将过来,投入掌中,乃是一颗黄色药丸,约有小指头大小。 那婆婆道:“你吞了下去,到那棵大树下坐着歇歇。”令狐冲道:“是。”将药丸放入口中,吞了下去。那婆婆道:“我是要仗着你的神妙剑法护送脱险,这才用药物延你性命,免得你突然身死,我便少了个卫护之人。可不是对你……对你有什么好心,更不是想要救你性命,你记住了。” 令狐冲又应了一声,走到树下,倚树而坐,只觉丹田中一股热气暖烘烘地涌将上来,似有无数精力送入全身各处脏腑经脉,寻思:“这颗药丸明明于我身子大有补益,婆婆偏不承认对我有什么好心,只说不过是利用我而已。世上只有利用别人而不肯承认的,她却为什么要说这等反话?”又想:“适才她将药丸掷入我手掌,能使药丸入掌而不弹起,显是使上了极高内功中的一股沉劲。她武功比我强得多,又何必要我卫护?唉,她爱这么说,我便听她这么办就是。” 他坐得片刻,便站起身来,道:“咱们走吧。婆婆,你累不累?”那婆婆道:“我倦得紧,再歇一会儿。”令狐冲道:“是。”心想:“上了年纪之人,凭他多高的武功,精力总不如少年。我只顾自己,可太不体恤婆婆了。”当下重行坐倒。 又过了好半晌,那婆婆才道:“走吧!”令狐冲应了,当先而行,那婆婆跟在后面。
令狐冲服了药丸,步履登觉轻快得多,依着那婆婆的指示,尽往荒僻的小路上走。行了将近十里,山道渐觉崎岖,行走时已有些气喘。那婆婆道:“我走得倦了,要歇一会儿。” 令狐冲应道:“是,”坐了下来,心想:“听她气息沉稳,一点也不累,明明是要我休息,却说是她自己倦了。” 歇了一盏茶时分,起身又行,转过了一个山坳,忽听得有人大声说道:“大伙儿赶紧吃饭,尽快离开这是非之地。”数十人齐声答应。令狐冲停住脚步,只见山涧边的一片草地之上,数十条汉子围坐着正自饮食。便在此时,那些汉子也已见到了令狐冲,有人说道:“是令狐公子!”令狐冲依稀认了出来,这些人昨晚都曾到过五霸冈上,正要出声招呼,突然之间,数十人鸦雀无声,一齐瞪眼瞧着他身后。 这些人的脸色都古怪之极,有的显然甚是惊惧,有的则是惶惑失措,似乎蓦地遇上了一件难以形容、无法应付的怪事一般。令狐冲一见这等情状,登时便想转头,瞧瞧自己身后到底有什么事端,令得这数十人在霎时之间便变得泥塑木雕一般,但脑袋只转得一半,立即惊觉:这些人所以如此,是由于见到了那位婆婆,自己曾答允过她,决计不向她瞧上一眼。 他急忙扭过头来,使力过巨,连头颈也扭得痛了,好奇之心大起:“为什么他们一见婆婆,便这般惊惶?难道婆婆当真形相怪异之极,人世所无?” 忽见一名汉子提起割肉的匕首,对准自己双眼刺了两下,登时鲜血长流。令狐冲大吃一惊,叫道:“你干什么?”那汉子大声道:“小人三天之前便瞎了眼睛,早已什么东西也瞧不见了。”又有两名汉子拔出短刀,自行刺瞎了双眼,都道:“小人瞎眼已久,什么都瞧不见了。”令狐冲惊奇万状,眼见其余的汉子纷纷拔出匕首铁锥之属,要刺瞎自己眼睛,忙叫:“喂,喂!且慢,有话好说,可不用刺瞎自己啊,那……那到底是什么缘故?” 一名汉子惨然道:“小人本想立誓,决不敢有半句多口,只是生怕难以取信。” 令狐冲叫道:“婆婆,你救救他们,叫他们别刺瞎自己眼睛了。” 那婆婆道:“好,我信得过你们。东海中有座蟠龙岛,可有人知道么?”一个老者道:“福建泉州东南一百多里海中,有座蟠龙岛,听说人迹罕至,极为荒凉。”那婆婆道:“正是这座小岛,你们立即动身,到蟠龙岛上去玩玩吧。过得了七年八年,再回中原吧。” 数十名汉子齐声答应,脸上均现喜色,说道:“咱们即刻便走。”有人又道:“咱们一路之上,决不跟外人说半句话。”那婆婆冷冷地道:“你们说不说话,关我什么事?”那人道:“是,是!小人胡说八道。”提起手来,在自己脸上用力击打。那婆婆道:“去吧!”数十名大汉发足狂奔。三名刺瞎了眼的汉子则由旁人搀扶,顷刻之间,走得一个不剩。 令狐冲心下骇然:“这婆婆单凭一句话,便将他们发配去东海荒岛,七年八年不许回来。这些人反而欢天喜地,如得大赦,可真叫人不懂了。”他默不作声地行走,心头思潮起伏,只觉身后跟随着的这位婆婆实是生平从所未闻的怪人,思忖:“只盼一路前去,别再遇见五霸冈上的朋友。他们一番热心,为治我的病而来,倘若给婆婆撞见了,不是刺瞎双目,便得罚去荒岛充军,岂不冤枉?这样看来,黄帮
