Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Prison
Linghu Chong didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and finally woke up, his head was so painful that it seemed to be split open, and his ears still sounded like thunder, rumbling continuously.I opened my eyes and it was dark, I didn't know where I was, I tried to stand up, and I didn't have any strength in my body, I thought: "I must be dead, buried in the grave." I was sad, anxious, and fainted again past.
When I woke up for the second time, I still had a severe headache, but the sound in my ears was much quieter. I just felt that my body was cold and hard, as if I was lying on steel. When I reached out to touch it, I felt that there was an iron plate under the straw mat. When the right hand moved like this, there was a soft clanking sound, and at the same time, it felt that something cold was bound on the hand, when he stretched out his left hand to touch it, there was also a clanking sound, and the left hand was also bound by something.He was surprised and happy, but also frightened, he was obviously not dead, but his body was bound by iron chains, he touched with his left hand again, and found that what was tied to his hand was a thin iron chain, and when he moved his feet slightly, he immediately felt his shins There is also an iron chain on it.
He opened his eyes and stared hard, and there was no glimmer of light in front of his eyes. He thought: "When I fainted, I was fighting with old Mr. Ren. Somehow, I was plotted by the four friends in the south of the Yangtze River. It seems that I was also imprisoned at the bottom of the lake. I'm in the dungeon. But I don't know if I'm imprisoned with Senior Ren." Immediately, he called out: "Senior Ren, Senior Ren." After calling twice, he didn't hear a sound, and became more frightened and shouted loudly : "Senior Ren! Senior Ren!"
In the darkness, I could only hear my own hissing and anxious cry, shouting: "The big master! The fourth master! Why do you imprison me here? Let me out! Let me out!"
But apart from his own yelling, he never heard any other sound.
Turning from panic to anger, he yelled: "Despicable and shameless villains, you are defeated in sword fighting, so you want to lock me up?" Thinking of being like Mr. Ren, he will be imprisoned at the bottom of the lake for the rest of his life In the dark prison, my heart was filled with despair for a moment, and the hairs all over my body stood on end.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he opened his mouth to yell again, and after a while, the sound of yelling turned into a wailing. At some point, tears were streaming down his face, and he yelled hoarsely, "You Meizhuang!" These four...these four despicable thieves, I...I...Linghu Chong will have to get out of the prison someday, stab you...you in the eyes, cut off your hands and feet...cut off. I After getting out of the dark prison..." Suddenly, it became quiet, and a voice shouted in my heart: "Can I get out of this dark prison? Can I get out of this dark prison? Even if the old man is so capable, he can't get out, I... How can I get out?" There was a burst of anxiety, and with a wow, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and passed out again.
In the drowsiness, there seemed to be a clicking sound, followed by the dazzling light, and suddenly woke up, and jumped up, but he didn't remember that his hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and his whole body was weak, so he only jumped about a foot Even after falling, all limbs and bones seemed to be broken.He has been in the dark for a long time, seeing the light suddenly, it is difficult to open his eyes, but he is afraid that this ray of light will disappear after a while, and thus lose the good chance of escape, even though his eyes are stinging, he still tries to open them wide, staring at the light.
The light came in from a hole about a foot square, and then he remembered that there was a hole in the iron door in the black prison where the old man lived, and it was exactly the same as this one. In the dark prison.He shouted loudly: "Let me out quickly! Heiheizi, bald-headed ghost, despicable dog thief, let me out if you have the guts!"
I saw a large wooden plate slowly protruding from the square hole. On the plate was a large bowl of rice, some dishes piled on top of the rice, and an earthen pot, which was supposed to be filled with soup.
When Linghu Chong saw it, he became even more annoyed, thinking: "You brought me food, you will definitely imprison me here for a long time." He cursed loudly: "Four thieves, you kill as you want, cut as you want, I have nothing to amuse you, sir." Seeing the wooden plate stopped still, it seemed that he wanted to reach out to catch it, he was so angry that he stretched out his hand and hit it hard, there were a few choking sounds, and the rice bowl and earthen jar fell to the ground It was smashed to pieces, and the food soup was splashed all over the floor.The wooden plate slowly retracted.
In a rage, Linghu Chong threw himself on the square hole, only to see an old man with white hair holding a lamp in his left hand and a wooden plate in his right hand, turning around slowly.The old man's face was full of wrinkles, but he had never seen them before.Linghu Chong shouted: "You go and call Huang Zhonggong and Dan Qingsheng. Those four thieves, if you have the guts, come and fight the uncle to the death!" The old man ignored him, bent his back, and walked away step by step.Linghu Chong shouted: "Hey, hey, do you hear that?" The old man left without looking back.
Linghu Chong saw his back disappear at the corner of the tunnel, and the lights gradually dimmed, until finally it was pitch black.After a while, the sound of the door turning was faintly heard, and then the wooden door and the iron door were heard closing one by one, and the tunnel was dark again, without any light or sound.
Linghu Chong was dizzy again, concentrating for a while, lay down on the bed, and thought: "The old man who delivered the food must have been strictly ordered not to talk to me. It is useless for me to shout at him." The house is exactly the same. It seems that there are many black prisons under Meizhuang, and I don’t know how many heroes are imprisoned. If I can get in touch with the old man Ren, or I can get in touch with a fellow prisoner who is imprisoned here. Working together, there may be a chance to get out of trouble." Immediately, he reached out and knocked on the wall.
There were several bangs on the wall, the sound of steel, and the echo was heavy and heavy. It was obvious that the partition wall was not an empty room, but solid soil.
Walking to the other wall, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall a few times, and there was also a very heavy sound. He still didn't give up, sat back on the bed, stretched out his hand and knocked behind him, the sound was still the same.He touched the wall and carefully knocked on all three walls. Except for the wall with the iron door, it seemed that this dark prison was buried deep in the ground alone.Of course there are other prison cells in this underground, at least there is still a dungeon where the old man surnamed Ren is imprisoned, but he doesn't know where it is, nor how far it is from his own cell.
Leaning against the wall, he carefully thought about the scene before he passed out, only remembering that the old man's sword moves became more and more urgent, and his shouting became louder and louder. Passed out, as for how he was captured by the four friends in the south of the Yangtze River, how he was sent to this cell for imprisonment and shackled, he didn't know anything.
I thought to myself: "These four villa owners are all high-spirited and elegant scholars, and they even play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in their daily lives. They are despicable and dirty in secret, doing all kinds of evil. It is not surprising that there are many such villains in the martial arts. So The strange thing is that these four people really love the four disciplines of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting out of sincerity, and they can't pretend to be here. The bald penman wrote the "Poem of General Pei" on the wall, which is by no means an ordinary warrior I can." Then I thought: "Master once said: 'The real treacherous and evil people must be intelligent and intelligent people.' This is indeed true. The tricks set up by the four friends in the south of the Yangtze River are really hard to prevent and avoid. .”
Suddenly he yelled: "Ah!" He couldn't help standing up, his heart beating wildly: "What happened to Brother Xiang? I don't know if he was also murdered by them?" Thinking: "Brother Xiang is clever and clever, it seems that he is very good at this Jiangnan. The four friends have known for a long time. He has traveled all over the rivers and lakes. As the right envoy of the demon sect, he will not follow their ways easily. As long as he is not trapped by the four friends in the south of the Yangtze River, he will definitely try to save me. I Even if I'm imprisoned hundreds of feet deep underground, with Brother Xiang's ability, I can find a way to get me out." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel relieved, he smiled and said to himself: "Linghu Chong, Linghu Chong, you It's useless for people to be cowardly, but Shicai was so frightened that he burst into tears, if someone finds out, where will he save his face?"
Feeling relieved, he sat down slowly, feeling hungry and thirsty, and thought: "It's a pity that I lost my temper just now and knocked over a good bowl of rice and a jar of water. If you don't eat enough, ask your elder brother After you come to rescue me, how can you have the strength to fight the four dogs of Jiangnan? Haha, yes, the four dogs of Jiangnan! How can such villains deserve to be called the four friends of Jiangnan? Among the four dogs of Jiangnan, black and white don’t move His sensuality is the most gloomy, and most of the tricks are arranged by him. After I get out of trouble, I will be the first to kill him. Dan Qingsheng is more honest, so he spares his dog's life, so what? You must drink it up for me." Thinking of the fine wine Danqingsheng had hidden, he became even more thirsty, and thought to himself: "I don't know how many times I've passed out, why didn't I ask my elder brother to save me?"
Suddenly he thought: "Oh, that's not good! With Brother Xiang's martial arts, if he fights alone, he is more than enough to defeat the four dogs in the south of the Yangtze River, but if the four of them team up, it is difficult for Brother Xiang to win. He fought bravely and killed all four of them, but it was very difficult to find the entrance of this tunnel. Who would have expected that the entrance to the cell would be under Huang Zhonggong's bed?"
Feeling sleepy and tired, he lay down, and suddenly thought: "Senior Ren's martial arts skills are only higher than Brother Xiang's, and he is definitely not inferior to him, and his witty experience and ability to predict things are not Brother Xiang's. As far as he is concerned, even if he is put in a dark prison, why is brother Xiang sure to win? A gentleman who is upright and upright is often plotted against by villains. He still doesn't come to rescue me for a long time, I'm afraid he will be in danger too." For a moment he forgot that he was trapped, but he was worried about Xiang Wentian's safety.
Thinking so wildly, I fell asleep unconsciously. When I woke up, my eyes were dark, and I didn't know when it was. I thought: "By myself, I can't get out of the predicament anyway. Brother Ru Xiang was also plotted against, and he Who will come to rescue me? Master has sent a message to the world to expel me from the Huashan faction, and the decent people will naturally not come to rescue me. Yingying, Yingying..."
Thinking of Yingying, she lifted her spirits and immediately sat up, thinking: "She once asked the old man and others to threaten to kill me in the Jianghu. Those heretics will never come to save me. But she herself What? If she knows that I am imprisoned here, she will definitely come to rescue me. There are so many people in the leftist way who listen to her orders, she just needs to spread a word, hehe..." Suddenly, I couldn't help laughing I came out and thought to myself: "This girl is very thin-skinned. She is most afraid that others will say that she likes me. Even if she comes to save me, she will come alone and will never call for help. If someone knows that she has come to save me , this person's life is probably in danger. Alas, the girl's thoughts are really elusive. Like a little junior sister..."
Thinking of Yue Lingshan, I suddenly felt a pain in my heart, and my sadness and despair deepened: "Why do I only want someone to save me? At this time, maybe my junior sister and junior brother Lin have married, so I will escape from the predicament and be a human being." What's the point? It's better to be imprisoned in this dark prison for the rest of your life without knowing anything." Thinking of being imprisoned in the dungeon would be quite beneficial, at least you won't know about Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi, Immediately, he was not very anxious, and he was a little complacent.
But this self-satisfaction can't last long, I just feel hunger and thirst unbearable, thinking of the pleasure of drinking wine in big bowls and eating meat in restaurants in the past, I always feel that it is much better to get out of trouble, thinking: "Little sister and So what if Junior Brother Lin gets married? Anyway, I’ve been bullied enough. I’ve lost all my internal strength, and I’m already a useless person. Doctor Ping said that I won’t live long. Will she be a widow for me forever?"
But deep in his heart, he always felt that if Yue Lingshan really wanted to marry, he would definitely not agree to it, but Yue Lingshan fell in love with Lin Pingzhi separately, which made him extremely distressed.Best... best... best? "It's best that my junior sister is still the same as before, and it's best that all this has never happened. I still practice swords with her in the waterfall of Huashan. Junior brother Lin has not come to Huashan. I will always live happily like this with my junior sister. Forever. Alas, Tian Boguang, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, Junior Sister Yilin..."
Thinking of Yilin, a young nun of the Hengshan sect, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she thought to herself, "This junior sister Yilin, what is going on now? If she knew that I was imprisoned here, she must be very anxious. Her master received the letter." After my master's letter, of course she will not allow her to save me. But she will ask her father, monk Bujie, to help, and maybe invite the Six Immortals of Peach Valley to come together. Alas, these seven people are messed up, nothing can be said It won't work. It's just that it's better to have someone come to your rescue than to be ignored."
Thinking of the entanglement of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, I couldn't help but giggled. When I was with them, I couldn't help but look down on the six brothers, but now I wish they could be companions in this cell. Those inexplicable strange words, at this moment I can hear it, it's like the sound of Xianle Lun, think about it for a while, and then go back to sleep.
In the dark prison, I don't know the time, and in the dimness, I saw a glimmer of light coming in from the square hole.Linghu Chong was overjoyed, and immediately sat up, his heart beating wildly: "I don't know who is here to save me?" But this joy could not last long, and then he heard the sound of slow and heavy footsteps, obviously it was the person delivering the meal. old man.He slumped down, and called out: "Call those four thieves, and see if they have the face to see me?" Hearing the footsteps gradually approaching, the light gradually brightened, and then a wooden board protruded in from the square hole. , There is still a large bowl of rice and an earthen pot on the plate.
Linghu Chong was so hungry that his stomach was shriveled, and his thirst was even more unbearable. He hesitated for a while, and took the wooden tray.The old man let go of the wooden plate and turned around.Linghu Chong shouted: "Hey, hey, go slowly, I have something to ask you." The old man ignored him, but the sound of kicking, kicking, and muddy footsteps gradually faded away, and the lights disappeared.
Linghu Chong cursed a few times, lifted the earthen jar, put his mouth on the mouth of the earthen jar and drank, the contents of the jar were clear water.He drank half a can in one go, and then he ate. There were dishes piled up on the rice, and he discerned the taste in the dark. They were radishes, tofu and so on.
After seven or eight days in prison like this, the old man always came to deliver a meal every day, and then picked up the bowls and chopsticks, earthen jars, and pots for defecating from the previous day.No matter what Linghu Chong said to him, there was absolutely no expression on his face.
I don't know what day it was, when Linghu Chong saw the light, he jumped in front of the square hole, grabbed the wooden plate, and shouted: "Why don't you speak? Did you hear me?"
The old man pointed to his ear, shook his head, indicating that he was deaf, and opened his mouth.When Linghu Chong saw it, he was stunned, only half of his tongue was left in his mouth, his appearance was very terrifying.He yelled "Ah" and said, "Your tongue was cut off? Was it the murder of the four dog owners of Meizhuang?" The old man did not answer, and slowly passed the wooden plate into the square hole. , obviously he couldn't hear what Linghu Chong said, even if he heard it, he couldn't answer it.
Linghu Chong was terrified, he waited for the old man to go far away, he couldn't calm down to eat, the horrible appearance of the old man with half of his tongue cut off kept appearing in front of his eyes.He said bitterly to himself: "These four dogs in the south of the Yangtze River are so hateful. Linghu Chong can't get out of prison for the rest of his life, so that's all. One day I have to get out of the cage, and I will cut off the tongues of these four dogs, drill their deaf ears, and stab them blind one by one. Eye……"
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the depths of my heart: "Could it be those people...those people..." Thinking of stabbing out the eyes of fifteen men outside the Yaowang Temple that night, I still don't know where these people came from. . "Could it be that they imprisoned me here to avenge their revenge?" Thinking of this, he sighed, and the anger that had accumulated in his chest for many days disappeared immediately: "I stabbed these fifteen people blind Eyes, they want revenge, and that's what they should do."
His anger gradually calmed down, and life became easier.There is no distinction between day and night in the black prison, I don't know how many days I have been imprisoned, I only feel that every day is hot, I think it is midsummer. There was no breath of wind in the small cell, and it was unbearably hot and humid.It was unbearably hot that day, but iron chains were bound on the hands and feet, and the clothes and pants could not be completely removed. I had to pull up the clothes, take off the pants, and rolled up the broken mat on the iron bed, naked. Sleeping naked on the iron board, I immediately felt a burst of coolness, the sweat gradually disappeared, and soon fell asleep. After sleeping for an hour, the iron plate warmed his body, he moved inward in a daze, and changed to a cooler place. Pressing his left hand on the iron plate, he felt that there seemed to be some pattern engraved on it. Thick, don't bother. This sleep was very pleasant, and when I woke up, I felt full of energy.Not long after, the old man brought food again.Linghu Chong felt very sympathetic to him, every time he sent the wooden tray in through the square hole, he would pinch his hand or pat the back of his hand a few times to express his gratitude, this time it was still the same.He took the wooden plate, retracted his arms and turned around. Suddenly, under the dim light, he saw four words protruding from the back of his left hand, which clearly read the words "I am trapped". He was very surprised, he didn't understand the origin of these four words, he pondered for a while, put down the wooden tray quickly, and reached out to touch the iron plate on the bed, it turned out that it was engraved with handwriting, densely packed and I don't know how many words there are.He suddenly realized that the words on the iron board had been carved long ago, but because there was a mat on the bed before, he never noticed it. He slept naked on the iron board last night, and these four words were printed on the back of his hand. Touching the back and buttocks, he couldn't help laughing, the tentacles were full of raised writing.Each character is about the size of a copper coin, and the imprint is deep, but the handwriting is quite scribbled. At that time, the old man who delivered the food had gone far away, and the cell was pitch-black again. He drank a few sips of water, ignored the food, and stretched out his head to feel the handwriting on the iron bed, slowly groping down one word after another, reading gently. It came out: "My life is full of love and hatred, killing people like hemp, and being imprisoned at the bottom of the lake is also the due reward. Only the old man let me be trapped..." After reading this, I thought: "It turns out that 'I am trapped' The four characters are printed here." Continue to touch, and the handwriting reads: "...Here, with a penetrating power, it will inevitably perish with the bones of the old man, and the children of future generations will not know the old man's ability, so it is a pity. .” Linghu Chong stopped his hands and raised his head, pondering: "I am allowed to do what I want! I am allowed to do what I want to do! The person who carved these handwritings is naturally called Ren Woxing. It turns out that this person is also surnamed Ren. I wonder if he has anything to do with Senior Ren?" He thought again: "I don't know how long this dungeon has been built, maybe the person who carved the lettering died decades or hundreds of years ago." Continue to touch, and the following handwriting is: "I will leave the essence of the old master's magical skills here, so that future generations will learn it, and they will be able to rule the world. The old man is dead and immortal. First, sit on the merits..." The following inscription , are all methods of regulating qi and performing exercises. After Linghu Chong studied "Dugu Nine Swords" by himself, he only liked swordsmanship in martial arts, but his own internal strength was lost. When he touched the word "sitting skill", he felt disappointed. He only hoped that there would be a wonderful swordsmanship left in his handwriting. So he used to entertain himself in the black prison, the hope of getting out of trouble became more and more slim, sitting in a prison cell, if he didn't find something to do, life would be really sad. But after that, all the handwriting that I touched was full of expressions for practicing internal strength such as "breathing", "intending to keep the dantian", "qi turning to the golden well", "renmai", etc., until I touched the end of the iron plate, I couldn't find a "" The word "sword".He was so disappointed: "What is the magical skill that reaches heaven and earth? Are you kidding me! Any martial arts are good, but I just can't practice internal skills. Once I condense my inner breath, the blood in my chest and abdomen will immediately surge. I'm going to practice internal skills, that's Ask for it." Sighing for a long time, he picked up his rice bowl to eat, and thought: "I don't know who this Ren Woxing is? Imprisoning martial arts masters." When he first discovered the handwriting on the iron plate, the original boss was excited for a while, but at the moment he couldn't help feeling complacent, and thought: "God is such a fool, I didn't find these handwriting, but it's better." Then he thought: "That's up to me If it is true as he boasted, the kung fu is so good, how can he still be trapped here, unable to get out? It can be seen that this place is extremely firm and dense, even if you have great abilities, once you enter the cage, you can only wait here slowly Dead." He ignored the handwriting on the iron plate. When Hangzhou is hot, the whole city is like a steamer.The dungeon is deep in the bottom of the lake, protected from the sun, it should be much cooler, but firstly, it is not ventilated, and secondly, it is extremely humid, living in it, there is another general hardship.Linghu Chong pulled up his clothes and trousers every day, slept on the iron board to keep cool, and felt the handwriting as soon as he reached out, and unconsciously, he had already remembered many of the words in his heart.
One day, I was thinking to myself: "I don't know where the master, wife, and younger sister are now? Have they returned to Mount Hua?" Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, which was light and fast, completely different from the old man who delivered the food.He has been trapped for many days, and he is no longer eager for someone to rescue him. When he suddenly heard the footsteps, he couldn't help but be amazed. .Hearing the sound of footsteps, he arrived outside the iron gate very quickly. I only heard someone outside the door saying: "Mr. Ren, the weather is so hot these days, how are you, old man?" The words came into his ears, and Linghu Chong recognized it as Black and White. If this person had come more than a month ago, Linghu Chong would have cursed him, and would have cursed out any vicious words, but after these days of imprisonment, his anger has dissipated and he has become much calmer. , and thought: "Why did he call me Mr. Ren? Did he go to the wrong cell?" He remained silent for a while. Hei Hei Zi said: "There is a sentence, I come to ask you once every two months. Today, on the first day of July, I still ask this sentence. Will the old man answer or not?" His tone was very serious. Respectfully. Linghu Chong secretly laughed: "This person really went to the wrong cell, he thought I was Senior Ren, how could he be so confused?" Then his heart shuddered: "Among the four owners of Mei Zhuang, Hei Zi and Hei Zi are obviously the most thoughtful. If it's Bald Biweng and Dan Qingsheng, they might go to the wrong cell. How could Black and White Zi make a mistake? There must be a reason." He was still silent at the moment. He only heard Heihezi say: "Old Mr. Ren, you have been a hero all your life, why bother to rot with the rotten soil in this dungeon? As long as you agree to me, I will help you out of trouble .” Linghu Chong's heart was beating wildly, countless thoughts ran through his mind, but he couldn't find a clue, Hei Heizi came to say these few words to him, but he really didn't know what he meant.He only heard Hei Hei Zi ask again: "Does the old man agree or not?" Linghu Chong knew in his heart that this was a chance to get out of trouble, no matter what the other party's intentions were, it would be much better than being trapped here without knowing why, but he didn't He couldn't figure out what the other party's intentions were, and was afraid that he might miss the opportunity by making a wrong answer, so he still didn't answer. Hei Hei Zi sighed, and said, "Old Mr. Ren, why are you silent? The last time that kid surnamed Feng came to compete swords with you, you never mentioned that I asked you a question in front of my three brothers. I feel very kind. I think the old man's pride and pride will come alive in his heart after that sword fight, right? The world outside is so vast, your old man is in a dark prison, men, women and children all over the world, You can kill whoever you want, no one dares to defy the old man, wouldn't it be extremely enjoyable? You promised me that this matter will not hurt you at all, but why have you always refused to agree to it for twelve years?" Hearing his sincerity in his voice, Linghu Chong really regarded himself as the senior surnamed Ren, and became even more suspicious, only to hear Hei Heizi say another conversation, over and over again just begging himself to agree to that matter.Linghu Chong wanted to know the details of it, but he thought that if he opened his mouth, the situation would immediately get worse, so he could only hold back forcefully, without making a sound. Hei Hei Zi said: "The old man is so stubborn, I have to see you in two months." Suddenly he chuckled a few times and said: "The old man didn't scold me this time, it seems that there is a turning point. In these two months, please ask the old man again Think about it carefully." Then he turned and turned to the outside.Linghu Chong became anxious, once he went out, he would have to come back in two months, how could he wait two more months in this dark prison?After he walked a few steps, he lowered his voice and said harshly, "What do you ask me to promise?" Hei Hei Zi turned around and ran to the square hole, his movements were extremely quick, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You... are you willing to agree?" Linghu Chong turned to face the wall, put his palm on his mouth, and said vaguely: "What do you promise?" Hei Heizi said: "In the past twelve years, I have ventured here six times a year, please agree, old man Why do you ask knowingly?" Linghu Chong snorted and said, "I forgot." Black and White said, "I beg the old man to pass on the secrets of Dafa to me. After I finish my studies, I will let the old man go out." Linghu Chong wondered: "Did he really mistook me for the senior named Ren? Or was there another conspiracy?" For a moment he couldn't know what he really meant, so he could only mutter a few words vaguely, even he didn't know what he was talking about. Naturally, Heiheizi couldn't understand even more, and asked, "Will the old man agree? Will the old man agree?" Linghu Chong said: "I won't be fooled if you don't believe what you say." The black and white son said: "What guarantee must the old man make to believe me?" Linghu Chong said: "You have made it yourself." The black and white son said: "The old man must be worried that after teaching the secrets of this Dafa, I will break my promise and get fat, so I won't let it go The old man is going out, isn't he? I have my own arrangements for this section. I always make the old man trustworthy." Linghu Chong said: "What arrangement?" Hei Hei Zi said: "Excuse me, old man, did you agree?" His tone seemed full of surprise. Thoughts turned quickly in Linghu Chong's mind: "He begged me to pass on the secrets of Dafa. What secrets of Dafa can I pass on? But you might as well listen to what he has planned. If he can really let me out, I will let me go. Tell him the secrets on the iron plate, regardless of whether he is useful or not, just lie to him first and then tell him." Hei HeiZi heard that he did not answer, and said again: "After the old man taught me the Dafa, I became the disciple of the old man. The disciples of this religion have always been punished by being skinned and tortured for hundreds of years. How dare I not let the old man go out?" Linghu Chong snorted and said, "That's it. After three days, come and listen to me." Hei Heizi said: "The old man agreed today, so why bother Three more days in this dark prison?" Linghu Chong thought to himself: "He is much more impatient than me, let's wait for three more days and see what tricks he has up his sleeve." He snorted heavily, looking very annoyed.Black and White said: "Yes! Yes! After three days, I will come to ask your old man for advice."
Linghu Chong heard him walk out of the tunnel and close the iron gate, and his mind was full of thoughts: "Could it be that he really mistook me for that senior named Ren? This person is very delicate, how could he make such a big mistake?" Suddenly remembered something: "Could it be Huang Zhonggong got a glimpse of his secret, and secretly imprisoned Senior Ren in another room, but locked me here? Yes, this black and white man has come every two months for twelve years, and most people have noticed it. It must be Huang Zhonggong secretly set up a trap." Suddenly, I remembered a sentence that Hei Heizi said just now: "The disciples of this religion who bully their masters and destroy their ancestors have always been punished by flaying and beating. No one has been able to escape this for hundreds of years." What religion? Could it be the Demon Cult? Could it be that the senior named Ren and the Jiangnan Four Dogs are members of the Demon Cult? Brother Xiang is the right envoy of the Demon Cult, so this matter must have something to do with him. I don’t know what the hell they are doing, but Involve me in it." When thinking of the "Demon Cult", he felt that it was full of mysteries and it was hard to understand, so he stopped thinking about it, and only pondered two things: "Is Hei Zi's action out of the truth, or is it a lie? Three He will ask me again in a few days, so how should I answer?" Guessing here and there, all kinds of weird thoughts turned to him, but he couldn't guess the true meaning of Hei Hei Zi after thinking about it, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.After waking up, my first thought was: "If Brother Xiang was here, he would be well-informed, and he would be able to predict the intentions of Black and White in an instant. The senior Ren is so wise, it is obvious that Brother Xiang Above... ah!" With a yell, he stood up.After this sleep, my mind became sober, and I thought: "For twelve years, Senior Ren has never agreed to him, because I know that I can't agree to this matter. What kind of person is he, don't you know the advantages and disadvantages of it?" Joint?" Then he thought: "Senior Ren certainly can't agree, but I'm not Senior Ren, so why can't I?" Qing knew that this matter was very inappropriate and involved great danger, but she was eager to get out of trouble, so she made up her mind immediately: "Hei Hei Zi will ask me again in three days, so I agreed to him, and put these qi practitioners on the iron board. Teach him the secret, listen to him how to deal with it, and adapt to the situation." So I touched the handwriting on the iron plate and recited it silently, thinking: "I must read it thoroughly, and when I teach him to blurt it out, he won't be suspicious. It's just that my accent is too far from that of the old man, so I had to lower my voice desperately. That's right, I yelled for two days and made my throat hoarse, and then I slurred my speech even more, so he shouldn't be able to detect it." Immediately read the mantra for a while, then yelled for a while, knowing that the dark prison is deep underground, with overlapping doors, so he set off a big firecracker in the prison room, and there was no sound outside.He enlarged his throat, yelled at the four dogs in the south of the Yangtze River for a while, and sang operas for a while. At the end of the singing, he felt that it was really ugly, and couldn't help laughing, so he went to recite the formula on the iron board, and suddenly read a few lines: "When Let the dantian always be like an empty box, and always be like a deep valley. It must be known that an empty box can store things, and a deep valley can hold water. If there is the slightest breath in the dantian, it will be dispersed in the Renmai points." I have come across these words several times before, but I feel disgusted with these qi-training methods in my heart, and I never think about the meaning of the handwriting, but now I feel very strange: "Master taught me The basic essence of practicing internal strength is to inflate the dantian. The dantian must have dense inner breath. The thicker it is, the stronger the internal force. Why does this formula say that there should be no inner breath in the dantian? If there is no inner breath in the dantian, where does the internal force come from? Come here? Any practice method will not be like this, isn’t this a joke? Haha, Hei Heizi is despicable and shameless, so I will pass on this method to him and make him a big fool, why not?” Touching the handwriting on the iron plate, I slowly pondered the meaning. At first, hundreds of words were teaching people how to release kung fu and how to dissipate their internal energy. I became more and more amazed: "Is there anyone in the world who is so stupid as to be willing to use Trying to dissipate the internal energy that has been cultivated throughout his life? Unless he is determined to commit suicide. If he wants to commit suicide, he can just wipe his neck with a horizontal sword. What's the use of practicing it?" After thinking for a while, he couldn't help feeling very frustrated: "As soon as Black and White heard these formulas, he knew they were meant to amuse him, so how could he be fooled? It seems that this strategy will not work. " The more I thought about it, the more troubled I became, and I kept chanting those mantras over and over again: "The dantian has qi, and the ren meridian is scattered, like the hollow in the bamboo, like the constant void of the valley..." After reading for a while, the qi in my heart beat the bed and cursed: " Damn it, this man was so angry that he was imprisoned in this dark cell, so he arranged this trick to make fun of others." After cursing for a while, he fell asleep. In his sleep, he seemed to be practicing according to the formula on the iron plate, "the dantian has qi, scattered in the Ren meridian", a stream of inner breath flowed into the Ren meridian, and the limbs felt indescribably comfortable. After a long while, I was in a daze, half asleep, half awake, and felt that the inner breath in the dantian was still flowing to the Ren channel, and suddenly thought: "Oh, it's not good! My inner energy is flowing out so continuously, Wouldn't he become a cripple in a blink of an eye?" Shocked, he sat up, his internal breath immediately turned back from the Ren meridian, he felt his qi and blood surging, dizzy, and after a long time, he finally came to his senses. Suddenly, I thought of something, and I couldn't help being pleasantly surprised: "The reason why my injury is difficult to heal is because I have accumulated in my body seven or eight different kinds of true energy from the Six Immortals of Peach Valley and Monk Bujie, so that even Doctor Ping Yizhi can't heal me. Fang Fang, the abbot of Shaolin Temple Master Zheng said that only by practicing the "Yi Jin Jing" can these different types of true energy be gradually eliminated. The secrets of internal energy engraved on the iron plate are not just teaching me how to eliminate my own internal energy? Haha, Linghu Chong, you are really stupid, others are afraid that your internal energy will disappear, but you are afraid that your internal energy will not disappear. If you have this wonderful method, how wonderful is it if you practice it?" I know that I just practiced in my sleep, I think about it every day, and dream at night.When I was awake, I kept reciting the mantra, and the thoughts in my mind were all the exercises on the iron board. After I fell asleep, I practiced according to the law unconsciously, but after all, my thoughts were chaotic, and I didn't follow the method completely.At this time, the spirit was refreshed, and I touched the formulas and exercises again twice, and I thought clearly in my heart, so I sat cross-legged and practiced step by step.After only practicing for an hour, I felt that some of the alien true qi that had been smoldering in the dantian for a long time had dispersed into the Ren meridian. Although it could not be expelled from the body, the suffering of turbulent qi and blood had been greatly reduced. He stood up and sang with great joy, but he felt that the singing was hoarse and unpleasant. It turned out that he had yelled a lot earlier in order to make his throat hoarse, but it had paid off. He thought: "Let me do it, let me do it , You left these formulas to harm people. Who would have thought that it would be beneficial to me instead of harming me. You know it from death, I’m afraid it will make your beard grow up in anger! Haha, haha!" Such uninterrupted exercise, practice for a while longer, the body will feel more comfortable, I thought: "After I have dissipated all the true energy of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley and Monk Bujie, I will practice again according to the method taught by the master.内功。虽然一切从头做起，要花上不少功夫，但我这条性命，只怕就此捡回来了。如果向大哥终于来救我出去，江湖之上，岂不是另有一番天地？” 忽尔又想：“师父既已将我逐出华山派，我又何必再练华山派内功？武林中各家各派的内功甚多，我便跟向大哥学，又或是跟盈盈学，却又何妨？”心中一阵凄凉，又一阵兴奋。
这日吃了饭后，练了一会功，只觉说不出的舒服，不由自主地纵声大笑。 忽听得黑白子的声音在门外说道：“前辈你好，晚辈在这里侍候多时了。”原来不知不觉间三日之期已届，令狐冲潜心练功散气，连黑白子来到门外亦未发觉，幸好嗓子已哑，他并未察觉，于是又干笑几声。黑白子道：“前辈今日兴致甚高，便收弟子入门如何？” 令狐冲寻思：“我如答允收他为弟子，传他这些练功的法门，他一开门进来，发现是我风二中而不是那姓任前辈，自然立时翻脸。再说，就算传他功夫的真是任前辈，黑白子练成之后，多半会设法将他害死，譬如在饭菜中下毒之类。是了，这黑白子要下毒害死我，当真易如反掌，他学到了口诀，怎会再将我放出？任前辈十二年来所以不肯传他，自是为此了。” 黑白子听他不答，说道：“前辈传功之后，弟子即去拿美酒肥鸡来孝敬前辈。”令狐冲遭囚多日，每日吃的都是青菜豆腐，一听到“美酒肥鸡”，不由得馋涎欲滴，说道：“好，你先去拿美酒肥鸡来，我吃了之后，心中一高兴，或许便传你些功夫。”黑白子忙道：“好好，我去取美酒肥鸡。不过今天是不成了，明日如有机缘，弟子自当取来奉献。” 令狐冲道：“干吗今日不成？”黑白子道：“来到此处，须得经过我大哥的卧室，只有乘着我大哥静坐用功，全神出窍之时，才能……才能……”令狐冲嗯了一声，便不言语了。 黑白子记挂着黄钟公坐功完毕，回入卧室，当下不敢多耽，告辞而去。 令狐冲心想：“怎生才能将黑白子诱进牢房，打死了他？此人狡猾之极，决不会上当。何况扯不断手足的铁链，就算打死了黑白子，我仍然不能脱困。”心中转着念头，右手几根手指伸到左腕的铁圈中，用力一扳，那是无意中的随手而扳，决没想真能扯开铁圈，可是那铁圈竟然张了开来，又扳了几下，左腕竟从铁圈中脱出。 这一下大出意外，惊喜交集，摸那铁圈，原来中间竟然有一断口，但若自己内力未曾散开，稍一使力，便欲昏晕，圈上虽有断口，终究也扳不开来。此刻他已散了两天内息，桃谷六仙与不戒大师注入他体内的真气有部分到了任脉之中，自然而然生出强劲内力，而不致如往日般气血翻涌。再摸右腕上的铁圈，果然也有一条细缝。这条细缝以前不知曾摸到过多少次，但说什么也想不到这竟是断口。当即左手使劲，将右腕上的铁圈也扳开了，跟着摸到箍在两只足胫上的铁圈，也都有断口，运劲扳开，一一除下，只累得满身大汗，气喘不已。铁圈既除，铁链随之脱落，身上已无束缚。他好生奇怪：“为什么每个铁圈上都有断口？这样的铁圈，怎能锁得住人？” 次日那老人送饭来时，令狐冲就着灯光一看，只见铁圈断口处，有一条条细微的钢丝锯纹，显是有人以一条极细的钢丝锯子，将足镣手铐上四个铁圈都锯断了，断口处闪闪发光，并未生锈，铁圈锯断，必是在不久以前，何以这些铁圈又合了拢来，套在自己手足上？“那多半有人暗中在设法救我。这地牢如此隐密，外人决计无法入来，救我之人必是梅庄中的人物。想来他不愿这等对我暗算，因此在我昏迷不醒之时，暗中用钢丝锯子将脚镣手铐锯开了。此人自不肯和梅庄中余人公然为敌，只有觑到机会，再来放我出去。” 想到此处，精神大振，心想：“这地道的入口处在黄钟公的卧床之下，如是黄钟公想救我，随时可以动手，不必耽搁这许多时光。黑白子当然不会。秃笔翁和丹青生二人之中，丹青生和我是酒中知己，交情与众不同，十之八九是丹青生。”再想到黑白子明日来时如何应付：“我只跟他顺口敷衍，骗他些酒肉吃，教他些假功夫，有何不可？” 随即又想：“丹青生随时会来救我出去，须得赶快将铁板上的口诀法门记熟了。”摸着字迹，口中诵读，心中记忆。先前摸到这些字迹时并不在意，此时真要记诵得绝无错失，倒也不是易事。铁板上字迹潦草，他读书不多，有些草字便不识得，只好强记笔画，胡乱念个别字充数。心想这些上乘功夫的法门，一字之错，往往令得练功者人鬼殊途，成败逆转，只要练得稍有不对，难免走火入魔。出此牢后，当再无机会重来读诀，非记得没半点错漏不可。他念了一遍又一遍，不知读了多少遍，几乎倒背也背得出了，这才安心入睡。 睡梦之中，果见丹青生前来打开牢门，放他出去，令狐冲一惊而醒，待觉是南柯一梦，却也并不沮丧，心想：“他今日不来救，只不过未得其便，不久自会来救。” 心想这铁板上的口诀法门于我十分有用，于别人却有大害，日后如再有人给囚于这黑牢之中，那人自然是好人，可不能让他上了那任我行的大当。当下摸着字迹，又从头至尾地读了十来遍，拿起除下的铁铐，将其中的字迹刮去了十几个字。 这一天黑白子并未前来，令狐冲也不在意，照着口诀法门，继续修习。其后数日，黑白子始终没来。令狐冲自觉练功大有进境，桃谷六仙和不戒和尚留在自己体内的异种真气，已有六七成从丹田中驱出，散之于任脉、督脉，以及阳维、阴维、阳蹻、阴蹻，以至冲脉、带脉等奇经八脉。虽要散入带脉、冲脉较为艰难，但铁板上所刻心法祥加教导，令狐冲以前修习过华山派内功，于这经脉之学倒也知之甚稔，心想即使目前不成，只须持之有恒，自能尽数驱出。 他每日背诵口诀数十遍，刮去铁板上的字迹数十字，自觉力气越来越大，用铁铐刮削铁板，已花不了多大力气。如此又过了一月有余，他虽在地底，亦觉得炎暑之威渐减，心想：“冥冥之中果有天意，我若是冬天被囚于此，决不会发现铁板上的字迹。说不定热天未到，丹青生已将我救了出去。” 正想到此处，忽听得甬道中又传来了黑白子的脚步声。
令狐冲本来横卧在床，当即转身，面向里壁，只听得黑白子走到门外，说道：“任……任老前辈，真正万分对不起。这一个多月来，我大哥一直不出室门。在下每日里焦急万状，只盼来跟你老人家请安问候，总不得其便。你……你老人家千万别见怪才好！”一阵酒香鸡香，从方孔中传了进来。 令狐冲这许多日子滴酒未沾，一闻到酒香，哪里还忍得住，转身道：“把酒菜拿来吃了再说。”黑白子道：“是，是。前辈答允传我神功的秘诀了？”令狐冲道：“每次你送三斤酒、一只鸡来，我便传你四句口诀。等我喝了三千斤酒，吃了一千只鸡，口诀也传得差不多了。”黑白子道：“这样未免太慢，只怕日久有变。晚辈每次送六斤酒、两只鸡，前辈每次便传八句口诀如何？”令狐冲笑道：“那也可以。拿来，拿来！” 黑白子托着木盘，从方孔中递将进去，盘上果是一大壶酒、一只肥鸡。 令狐冲心想：“我未传口诀，你总不能先毒死我。”提起酒壶，咕嘟嘟地便喝。这酒并不甚佳，但这时喝在口里，实在醇美无比，似乎丹青生四酿四蒸的吐鲁番葡萄浓酒也有所不及，当下一口气便喝了半壶，跟着撕下一条鸡腿大嚼起来，顷刻之间，将一壶酒、一只鸡吃得干干净净，拍了拍肚子，赞道：“好酒，好酒！” 黑白子笑道：“老爷子吃了肥鸡美酒，便请传授口诀了。”令狐冲听他再也不提拜师之事，只道自己喝酒吃鸡之余，一时记不起了，当下也就不提，说道：“好，这四句口诀，你牢牢记住了：'奇经八脉，中有内息，聚之丹田，会于膻中。'你懂得解么？”铁板上原来的口诀是：“丹田内息，散于四肢，膻中之气，分注八脉。”他故意将之倒了转来。黑白子一听，觉这四句口诀平平无奇，乃练气的寻常法门，说道：“这四句，在下领会得，请前辈再传四句。” 令狐冲心想：“这四句经我一改，变成毫无特色，他自感不足了，须当念四句十分古怪的，吓唬吓唬他。”说道：“今天是第一日，索性多传四句，你记好了。'震裂阳维，塞绝阴蹻，八脉齐断，神功自成。'” 黑白子大吃一惊，道：“这……这……这人身的奇经八脉倘若断绝了，哪里还活得成？这……这四句口诀，晚辈可当真不明白了。”令狐冲道：“这等神功大法，倘若人人都能领会，那还有什么希奇？这中间自然有许多精微奇妙之处，常人不易索解。” 黑白子听到这里，越来越觉他说话的语气、所用的辞句，与那姓任之人大不相同，不由得疑心大起。前两次令狐冲说话极少，辞语又十分含糊，这一次吃了酒后，精神振奋，说话多了，黑白子十分机警，登时便生疑窦，料想他有意改变口诀，戏弄自己，说道：“你说'八脉齐断，神功自成'，难道老爷子自己这奇经八脉都已断绝了吗？” 令狐冲道：“这个自然。”他从黑白子语气之中，听出他已起了疑心，不敢跟他多说，道：“全部传完，你融会贯通，自能明白。”说着将酒壶放在盘上，从方孔中递将出去。黑白子伸手来接。 令狐冲突然“啊哟”一声，身子向前一冲，当的一声，额头撞上铁门。 黑白子惊道：“怎样了？”他这等武功高强之人，反应极快，一伸手，已探入方孔，抓住木盘，生怕酒壶掉在地下摔碎。 便在这电光石火的一瞬之间，令狐冲左手翻上，抓住了他右手手腕，笑道：“黑白子，你瞧瞧我到底是谁？”黑白子大惊，颤声道：“你……你……” 令狐冲将木盘递出去之时，并未有抓他手腕的念头，待在油灯微光下见到黑白子手掌在方孔外一晃，只待接他木盘，突然之间，心中起了一股难以抑制的冲动。自己在这里囚禁多日，全是出于这人的狡计，若能将他手腕扭断了，也足稍出心中的恶气；又想他出其不意地给自己抓住，必然大吃一惊，这人如此奸诈，吓他一跳，又有何不可？也不知是出于报复之意，还是一时童心大盛，便这么假装摔跌，引得他伸手进来，抓住了他手腕。 黑白子本来十分机警，只是这一下实在太过突如其来，事先更没半点朕兆，待得心中微觉不妥，手腕已遭对方抓住，只觉对方五根手指便如是一只铁箍，牢牢地扣住了自己右腕上“内关”、“外关”两处穴道，当即手腕急旋，反打擒拿。 当的一声大响，左足三根足趾立时折断，痛得啊啊大叫。 何以他右手手腕被扣，左足的足趾却会折断，岂非甚奇？原来黑白子于对方向来深自敬惮，这时手腕遭扣，立即想到有性命之忧，忙不迭地使出一招“蛟龙出渊”。这一招乃手腕为人扣住时所用，手臂向内急夺，左足无影无踪地疾踢而出，这一脚势道厉害已极，正中敌人胸口，非将他踢得当场吐血不可。敌人若是高手，知所趋避，便须立时放开他手腕，否则没法躲得过这当胸一脚。也是事出仓促，黑白子急于脱困，没想到自己和对方之间隔了一道厚厚的铁门，这一招“蛟龙出渊”确是使对了，这一脚也踢得部位既准，力道又凌厉之极，只是当的一声大响，踢中的乃是铁门。 令狐冲听到铁门这一声大响，这才明白，自己全仗铁门保护，才逃过了黑白子如此厉害的当胸一脚，忍不住哈哈大笑，说道：“再踢一脚，踢得也这样重，我便放你。” 突然之间，黑白子猛觉右腕“内关”、“外关”两处穴道中内力源源外泄，不由得想起生平最害怕的一件事来，登时魂飞天外，一面运力凝气，一面哀声求告：“老……老爷子，求你……”他一说话，内力更大量涌出，只得住口，但内力还是不住飞快泄出。 令狐冲自练了铁板上的功夫之后，丹田已然如竹之虚、如谷之空，这时觉得丹田中有气注入，却也并不在意。只觉黑白子手腕不住颤抖，显是害怕之极，心中气他不过，索性吓他一吓，喝道：“我传了你功夫，你便是本门弟子了，你欺师灭祖，该当何罪？” 黑白子只觉内力愈泄愈快，勉强凝气，还暂时能止得住，但呼吸终究难免，一呼一吸之际，内力便大量外泄，这时早忘了足趾上的疼痛，只求右手能从方孔中脱出，纵然少了一只手一只脚也所甘愿，一想到此处，伸手便去腰间拔剑。 他身子这么一动，右腕上“内关”、“外关”两处穴道便如开了两个大缺口，立时全身内力急泻而出，有如河水决堤，再难堵截。黑白子知道只须再捱得一刻，全身内力便尽数为对方吸去，当下奋力抽出腰间长剑，咬紧牙齿，举将起来，便欲将自己手臂砍断。但这么一使力，内力奔腾而出，耳朵中嗡的一声，便晕了过去。 令狐冲抓住他手腕，只不过想吓他一吓，最多也是扭断他腕骨，以泄心中积忿，没料到他竟会吓得如此的魂不附体，以致晕去，哈哈一笑，便松了手。他这一松手，黑白子身子倒下，右手便从方孔中缩回。 令狐冲脑中突如电光般闪过一个念头，急忙抓住他的手掌，其时出手迅捷异常，及时拉住，心想：“我何不用铁铐将他铐住，逼迫黄钟公他们放我？”当下使力将黑白子的手腕拉近，没料想用力一拉，黑白子的脑袋竟从方孔中钻了进来，呼的一声，整个身子都进了牢房。 这一下实大出意料之外，他一呆之下，暗骂自己愚不可及，这洞孔有尺许见方，只要脑袋通得过，身子便亦通得过，黑白子既能进来，自己又何尝不能出去？以前四肢为铐链所系，自然无法越狱，但铐链早已暗中给人锯开，却为何不逃？又忖：“丹青生暗中给我锯断了铐链，日日盼望我跟着那送饭的老人越狱逃走，想必心焦之极了。”他发觉铐链已为人锯断之时，正自全副精神贯注于散功，其时铁板上的功诀尚未背熟，自不愿就此离去，只因内心深处不愿便即离开牢房，是以也未曾想到逃狱。 他略一沉吟，已有了主意，匆匆除下黑白子和自己身上的衣衫，对调了穿好，连黑白子那头罩也套在头上，心想：“出去时就算遇上了旁人，他们也只道我便是黑白子。”将黑白子的长剑插在自己腰间，一剑在身，更加精神大振，又将黑白子的手足都铐在铐镣的铁圈之中，用力捏紧，这一捏便察觉自己力气大极，铁圈深陷入肉。 黑白子痛得醒了过来，呻吟出声。令狐冲笑道：“咱哥儿俩扳扳位！那老头儿每天会送饭送水来。”黑白子呻吟道：“任……任老爷子……你……你的吸星大法……”令狐冲那日在荒郊和向问天联手抗敌，听得对方人群中有人叫过“吸星大法”，这时又听黑白子说起，便问：“什么吸星大法？”黑白子道：“我……我……该……该死……” 令狐冲脱身要紧，也不去理他，从方孔中探头出去，两只手臂也伸到了洞外，手掌在铁门上轻轻一推，身子射出，稳稳站在地下，只觉丹田中又积蓄了大量内息，颇不舒服。他不知这些内力乃从黑白子身上吸来，只道久不练功，桃谷六仙和不戒和尚的内力又回入了丹田。这时只盼尽快离开黑狱，当下提了黑白子留下的油灯，从地道中出去。 地道中门户都是虚掩，料想黑白子要待出去时再行上锁，这一来，令狐冲便毫不费力地脱离了牢笼。他迈过一道道坚固的门户，想起这些在黑牢中的日子，当真如同隔世，突然之间，对黄钟公他们也已不怎么怀恨，但觉身得自由，便什么都不在乎了。 走到了地道尽头，拾级而上，头顶是块铁板，侧耳倾听，上面并无声息。自从经过这次失陷，他一切小心谨慎得多了，并不立即冲上，站在铁板之下等了好一会，仍没听得任何声息。确知黄钟公当真不在卧室，这才轻轻托起铁板，纵身而上。 他从床上的孔中跃出，放好铁板，拉上席子，蹑手蹑足地走出来，忽听得身后一人阴恻恻地道：“二弟，你下去干什么？” 令狐冲一惊回头，只见黄钟公、秃笔翁、丹青生三人各挺兵刃，围在身周。他不知秘门上装有机关消息，这么贸然闯出，机关上铃声大作，将黄钟公等三人引了来，只是他戴着头罩，穿的又是黑白子的长袍，无人认他得出。令狐冲一惊之下，说道：“我……我……” 黄钟公冷冷地道：“我什么？我看你神情不正，早料到你是要去求任我行教你练那吸星妖法，哼哼，当年你发过什么誓来？” 令狐冲心中混乱，不知是暴露自己真相好呢，还是冒充黑白子到底，一时拿不定主意，拔出腰间长剑，向秃笔翁刺去。秃笔翁怒道：“好二哥，当真动剑吗？”举笔一封。令狐冲这一剑只是虚招，乘他举笔挡架，便即发足奔出。黄钟公等三人直追出来。 令狐冲提气疾奔，脚步奇速，片刻间便奔到了大厅。黄钟公大叫：“二弟，二弟，你到哪里去？”令狐冲不答，仍拔足飞奔。突见迎面一人站在大门正中，说道：“二庄主，请留步！” 令狐冲奔得正急，收足不住，砰的一声，重重撞在他身上。这一冲之势好急，那人直飞出去，摔在数丈之外。令狐冲忙中看时，见是一字电剑丁坚，直挺挺地横在当地，身子倒确是作“一字”之形，只是和“电剑”二字却拉不上干系了。 令狐冲足不停步地向小路上奔去。黄钟公等一到庄子门口，便不再追来。丹青生大叫：“二哥，二哥，快回来，咱们兄弟有什么事不好商量……”
令狐冲只拣荒僻的小路飞奔，到了一处无人的山野，显是离杭州城已远。他如此迅捷飞奔，停下来时竟既不疲累，也不气喘，似乎功力尚胜过了受伤之前。 其时黑夜四野无人，他除下头上罩子，听到淙淙水声，口中正渴，当下循声过去，来到一条山溪之畔，正要俯身去捧水喝，月光掩映下，水中映出一个人来，头发篷松，满脸污秽，神情甚是丑怪。 令狐冲吃了一惊，随即哑然一笑，囚居数月，从不梳洗，自然是如此龌龊了，霎时间只觉全身奇痒，当下除去外袍，跳在溪水中好好洗了个澡，心想：“身上的老泥便没半担，也会有三十斤。”浑身上下擦洗干净，喝饱清水后，将头发挽在头顶，提起剑来，剃去了满腮胡渣，水中一照，已回复了本来面目，与那满脸浮肿的风二中已没半点相似之处。 穿衣之际，觉得胸腹间气血不畅，当下在溪边行功片刻，便觉丹田中的内息已散入奇经八脉，丹田内又是如竹之空、似谷之虚，而全身振奋，
His anger gradually calmed down, and life became easier.There is no distinction between day and night in the black prison, I don't know how many days I have been imprisoned, I only feel that every day is hot, I think it is midsummer. There was no breath of wind in the small cell, and it was unbearably hot and humid.It was unbearably hot that day, but iron chains were bound on the hands and feet, and the clothes and pants could not be completely removed. I had to pull up the clothes, take off the pants, and rolled up the broken mat on the iron bed, naked. Sleeping naked on the iron board, I immediately felt a burst of coolness, the sweat gradually disappeared, and soon fell asleep. After sleeping for an hour, the iron plate warmed his body, he moved inward in a daze, and changed to a cooler place. Pressing his left hand on the iron plate, he felt that there seemed to be some pattern engraved on it. Thick, don't bother. This sleep was very pleasant, and when I woke up, I felt full of energy.Not long after, the old man brought food again.Linghu Chong felt very sympathetic to him, every time he sent the wooden tray in through the square hole, he would pinch his hand or pat the back of his hand a few times to express his gratitude, this time it was still the same.He took the wooden plate, retracted his arms and turned around. Suddenly, under the dim light, he saw four words protruding from the back of his left hand, which clearly read the words "I am trapped". He was very surprised, he didn't understand the origin of these four words, he pondered for a while, put down the wooden tray quickly, and reached out to touch the iron plate on the bed, it turned out that it was engraved with handwriting, densely packed and I don't know how many words there are.He suddenly realized that the words on the iron board had been carved long ago, but because there was a mat on the bed before, he never noticed it. He slept naked on the iron board last night, and these four words were printed on the back of his hand. Touching the back and buttocks, he couldn't help laughing, the tentacles were full of raised writing.Each character is about the size of a copper coin, and the imprint is deep, but the handwriting is quite scribbled. At that time, the old man who delivered the food had gone far away, and the cell was pitch-black again. He drank a few sips of water, ignored the food, and stretched out his head to feel the handwriting on the iron bed, slowly groping down one word after another, reading gently. It came out: "My life is full of love and hatred, killing people like hemp, and being imprisoned at the bottom of the lake is also the due reward. Only the old man let me be trapped..." After reading this, I thought: "It turns out that 'I am trapped' The four characters are printed here." Continue to touch, and the handwriting reads: "...Here, with a penetrating power, it will inevitably perish with the bones of the old man, and the children of future generations will not know the old man's ability, so it is a pity. .” Linghu Chong stopped his hands and raised his head, pondering: "I am allowed to do what I want! I am allowed to do what I want to do! The person who carved these handwritings is naturally called Ren Woxing. It turns out that this person is also surnamed Ren. I wonder if he has anything to do with Senior Ren?" He thought again: "I don't know how long this dungeon has been built, maybe the person who carved the lettering died decades or hundreds of years ago." Continue to touch, and the following handwriting is: "I will leave the essence of the old master's magical skills here, so that future generations will learn it, and they will be able to rule the world. The old man is dead and immortal. First, sit on the merits..." The following inscription , are all methods of regulating qi and performing exercises. After Linghu Chong studied "Dugu Nine Swords" by himself, he only liked swordsmanship in martial arts, but his own internal strength was lost. When he touched the word "sitting skill", he felt disappointed. He only hoped that there would be a wonderful swordsmanship left in his handwriting. So he used to entertain himself in the black prison, the hope of getting out of trouble became more and more slim, sitting in a prison cell, if he didn't find something to do, life would be really sad. But after that, all the handwriting that I touched was full of expressions for practicing internal strength such as "breathing", "intending to keep the dantian", "qi turning to the golden well", "renmai", etc., until I touched the end of the iron plate, I couldn't find a "" The word "sword".He was so disappointed: "What is the magical skill that reaches heaven and earth? Are you kidding me! Any martial arts are good, but I just can't practice internal skills. Once I condense my inner breath, the blood in my chest and abdomen will immediately surge. I'm going to practice internal skills, that's Ask for it." Sighing for a long time, he picked up his rice bowl to eat, and thought: "I don't know who this Ren Woxing is? Imprisoning martial arts masters." When he first discovered the handwriting on the iron plate, the original boss was excited for a while, but at the moment he couldn't help feeling complacent, and thought: "God is such a fool, I didn't find these handwriting, but it's better." Then he thought: "That's up to me If it is true as he boasted, the kung fu is so good, how can he still be trapped here, unable to get out? It can be seen that this place is extremely firm and dense, even if you have great abilities, once you enter the cage, you can only wait here slowly Dead." He ignored the handwriting on the iron plate. When Hangzhou is hot, the whole city is like a steamer.The dungeon is deep in the bottom of the lake, protected from the sun, it should be much cooler, but firstly, it is not ventilated, and secondly, it is extremely humid, living in it, there is another general hardship.Linghu Chong pulled up his clothes and trousers every day, slept on the iron board to keep cool, and felt the handwriting as soon as he reached out, and unconsciously, he had already remembered many of the words in his heart.
One day, I was thinking to myself: "I don't know where the master, wife, and younger sister are now? Have they returned to Mount Hua?" Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, which was light and fast, completely different from the old man who delivered the food.He has been trapped for many days, and he is no longer eager for someone to rescue him. When he suddenly heard the footsteps, he couldn't help but be amazed. .Hearing the sound of footsteps, he arrived outside the iron gate very quickly. I only heard someone outside the door saying: "Mr. Ren, the weather is so hot these days, how are you, old man?" The words came into his ears, and Linghu Chong recognized it as Black and White. If this person had come more than a month ago, Linghu Chong would have cursed him, and would have cursed out any vicious words, but after these days of imprisonment, his anger has dissipated and he has become much calmer. , and thought: "Why did he call me Mr. Ren? Did he go to the wrong cell?" He remained silent for a while. Hei Hei Zi said: "There is a sentence, I come to ask you once every two months. Today, on the first day of July, I still ask this sentence. Will the old man answer or not?" His tone was very serious. Respectfully. Linghu Chong secretly laughed: "This person really went to the wrong cell, he thought I was Senior Ren, how could he be so confused?" Then his heart shuddered: "Among the four owners of Mei Zhuang, Hei Zi and Hei Zi are obviously the most thoughtful. If it's Bald Biweng and Dan Qingsheng, they might go to the wrong cell. How could Black and White Zi make a mistake? There must be a reason." He was still silent at the moment. He only heard Heihezi say: "Old Mr. Ren, you have been a hero all your life, why bother to rot with the rotten soil in this dungeon? As long as you agree to me, I will help you out of trouble .” Linghu Chong's heart was beating wildly, countless thoughts ran through his mind, but he couldn't find a clue, Hei Heizi came to say these few words to him, but he really didn't know what he meant.He only heard Hei Hei Zi ask again: "Does the old man agree or not?" Linghu Chong knew in his heart that this was a chance to get out of trouble, no matter what the other party's intentions were, it would be much better than being trapped here without knowing why, but he didn't He couldn't figure out what the other party's intentions were, and was afraid that he might miss the opportunity by making a wrong answer, so he still didn't answer. Hei Hei Zi sighed, and said, "Old Mr. Ren, why are you silent? The last time that kid surnamed Feng came to compete swords with you, you never mentioned that I asked you a question in front of my three brothers. I feel very kind. I think the old man's pride and pride will come alive in his heart after that sword fight, right? The world outside is so vast, your old man is in a dark prison, men, women and children all over the world, You can kill whoever you want, no one dares to defy the old man, wouldn't it be extremely enjoyable? You promised me that this matter will not hurt you at all, but why have you always refused to agree to it for twelve years?" Hearing his sincerity in his voice, Linghu Chong really regarded himself as the senior surnamed Ren, and became even more suspicious, only to hear Hei Heizi say another conversation, over and over again just begging himself to agree to that matter.Linghu Chong wanted to know the details of it, but he thought that if he opened his mouth, the situation would immediately get worse, so he could only hold back forcefully, without making a sound. Hei Hei Zi said: "The old man is so stubborn, I have to see you in two months." Suddenly he chuckled a few times and said: "The old man didn't scold me this time, it seems that there is a turning point. In these two months, please ask the old man again Think about it carefully." Then he turned and turned to the outside.Linghu Chong became anxious, once he went out, he would have to come back in two months, how could he wait two more months in this dark prison?After he walked a few steps, he lowered his voice and said harshly, "What do you ask me to promise?" Hei Hei Zi turned around and ran to the square hole, his movements were extremely quick, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You... are you willing to agree?" Linghu Chong turned to face the wall, put his palm on his mouth, and said vaguely: "What do you promise?" Hei Heizi said: "In the past twelve years, I have ventured here six times a year, please agree, old man Why do you ask knowingly?" Linghu Chong snorted and said, "I forgot." Black and White said, "I beg the old man to pass on the secrets of Dafa to me. After I finish my studies, I will let the old man go out." Linghu Chong wondered: "Did he really mistook me for the senior named Ren? Or was there another conspiracy?" For a moment he couldn't know what he really meant, so he could only mutter a few words vaguely, even he didn't know what he was talking about. Naturally, Heiheizi couldn't understand even more, and asked, "Will the old man agree? Will the old man agree?" Linghu Chong said: "I won't be fooled if you don't believe what you say." The black and white son said: "What guarantee must the old man make to believe me?" Linghu Chong said: "You have made it yourself." The black and white son said: "The old man must be worried that after teaching the secrets of this Dafa, I will break my promise and get fat, so I won't let it go The old man is going out, isn't he? I have my own arrangements for this section. I always make the old man trustworthy." Linghu Chong said: "What arrangement?" Hei Hei Zi said: "Excuse me, old man, did you agree?" His tone seemed full of surprise. Thoughts turned quickly in Linghu Chong's mind: "He begged me to pass on the secrets of Dafa. What secrets of Dafa can I pass on? But you might as well listen to what he has planned. If he can really let me out, I will let me go. Tell him the secrets on the iron plate, regardless of whether he is useful or not, just lie to him first and then tell him." Hei HeiZi heard that he did not answer, and said again: "After the old man taught me the Dafa, I became the disciple of the old man. The disciples of this religion have always been punished by being skinned and tortured for hundreds of years. How dare I not let the old man go out?" Linghu Chong snorted and said, "That's it. After three days, come and listen to me." Hei Heizi said: "The old man agreed today, so why bother Three more days in this dark prison?" Linghu Chong thought to himself: "He is much more impatient than me, let's wait for three more days and see what tricks he has up his sleeve." He snorted heavily, looking very annoyed.Black and White said: "Yes! Yes! After three days, I will come to ask your old man for advice."
Linghu Chong heard him walk out of the tunnel and close the iron gate, and his mind was full of thoughts: "Could it be that he really mistook me for that senior named Ren? This person is very delicate, how could he make such a big mistake?" Suddenly remembered something: "Could it be Huang Zhonggong got a glimpse of his secret, and secretly imprisoned Senior Ren in another room, but locked me here? Yes, this black and white man has come every two months for twelve years, and most people have noticed it. It must be Huang Zhonggong secretly set up a trap." Suddenly, I remembered a sentence that Hei Heizi said just now: "The disciples of this religion who bully their masters and destroy their ancestors have always been punished by flaying and beating. No one has been able to escape this for hundreds of years." What religion? Could it be the Demon Cult? Could it be that the senior named Ren and the Jiangnan Four Dogs are members of the Demon Cult? Brother Xiang is the right envoy of the Demon Cult, so this matter must have something to do with him. I don’t know what the hell they are doing, but Involve me in it." When thinking of the "Demon Cult", he felt that it was full of mysteries and it was hard to understand, so he stopped thinking about it, and only pondered two things: "Is Hei Zi's action out of the truth, or is it a lie? Three He will ask me again in a few days, so how should I answer?" Guessing here and there, all kinds of weird thoughts turned to him, but he couldn't guess the true meaning of Hei Hei Zi after thinking about it, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.After waking up, my first thought was: "If Brother Xiang was here, he would be well-informed, and he would be able to predict the intentions of Black and White in an instant. The senior Ren is so wise, it is obvious that Brother Xiang Above... ah!" With a yell, he stood up.After this sleep, my mind became sober, and I thought: "For twelve years, Senior Ren has never agreed to him, because I know that I can't agree to this matter. What kind of person is he, don't you know the advantages and disadvantages of it?" Joint?" Then he thought: "Senior Ren certainly can't agree, but I'm not Senior Ren, so why can't I?" Qing knew that this matter was very inappropriate and involved great danger, but she was eager to get out of trouble, so she made up her mind immediately: "Hei Hei Zi will ask me again in three days, so I agreed to him, and put these qi practitioners on the iron board. Teach him the secret, listen to him how to deal with it, and adapt to the situation." So I touched the handwriting on the iron plate and recited it silently, thinking: "I must read it thoroughly, and when I teach him to blurt it out, he won't be suspicious. It's just that my accent is too far from that of the old man, so I had to lower my voice desperately. That's right, I yelled for two days and made my throat hoarse, and then I slurred my speech even more, so he shouldn't be able to detect it." Immediately read the mantra for a while, then yelled for a while, knowing that the dark prison is deep underground, with overlapping doors, so he set off a big firecracker in the prison room, and there was no sound outside.He enlarged his throat, yelled at the four dogs in the south of the Yangtze River for a while, and sang operas for a while. At the end of the singing, he felt that it was really ugly, and couldn't help laughing, so he went to recite the formula on the iron board, and suddenly read a few lines: "When Let the dantian always be like an empty box, and always be like a deep valley. It must be known that an empty box can store things, and a deep valley can hold water. If there is the slightest breath in the dantian, it will be dispersed in the Renmai points." I have come across these words several times before, but I feel disgusted with these qi-training methods in my heart, and I never think about the meaning of the handwriting, but now I feel very strange: "Master taught me The basic essence of practicing internal strength is to inflate the dantian. The dantian must have dense inner breath. The thicker it is, the stronger the internal force. Why does this formula say that there should be no inner breath in the dantian? If there is no inner breath in the dantian, where does the internal force come from? Come here? Any practice method will not be like this, isn’t this a joke? Haha, Hei Heizi is despicable and shameless, so I will pass on this method to him and make him a big fool, why not?” Touching the handwriting on the iron plate, I slowly pondered the meaning. At first, hundreds of words were teaching people how to release kung fu and how to dissipate their internal energy. I became more and more amazed: "Is there anyone in the world who is so stupid as to be willing to use Trying to dissipate the internal energy that has been cultivated throughout his life? Unless he is determined to commit suicide. If he wants to commit suicide, he can just wipe his neck with a horizontal sword. What's the use of practicing it?" After thinking for a while, he couldn't help feeling very frustrated: "As soon as Black and White heard these formulas, he knew they were meant to amuse him, so how could he be fooled? It seems that this strategy will not work. " The more I thought about it, the more troubled I became, and I kept chanting those mantras over and over again: "The dantian has qi, and the ren meridian is scattered, like the hollow in the bamboo, like the constant void of the valley..." After reading for a while, the qi in my heart beat the bed and cursed: " Damn it, this man was so angry that he was imprisoned in this dark cell, so he arranged this trick to make fun of others." After cursing for a while, he fell asleep. In his sleep, he seemed to be practicing according to the formula on the iron plate, "the dantian has qi, scattered in the Ren meridian", a stream of inner breath flowed into the Ren meridian, and the limbs felt indescribably comfortable. After a long while, I was in a daze, half asleep, half awake, and felt that the inner breath in the dantian was still flowing to the Ren channel, and suddenly thought: "Oh, it's not good! My inner energy is flowing out so continuously, Wouldn't he become a cripple in a blink of an eye?" Shocked, he sat up, his internal breath immediately turned back from the Ren meridian, he felt his qi and blood surging, dizzy, and after a long time, he finally came to his senses. Suddenly, I thought of something, and I couldn't help being pleasantly surprised: "The reason why my injury is difficult to heal is because I have accumulated in my body seven or eight different kinds of true energy from the Six Immortals of Peach Valley and Monk Bujie, so that even Doctor Ping Yizhi can't heal me. Fang Fang, the abbot of Shaolin Temple Master Zheng said that only by practicing the "Yi Jin Jing" can these different types of true energy be gradually eliminated. The secrets of internal energy engraved on the iron plate are not just teaching me how to eliminate my own internal energy? Haha, Linghu Chong, you are really stupid, others are afraid that your internal energy will disappear, but you are afraid that your internal energy will not disappear. If you have this wonderful method, how wonderful is it if you practice it?" I know that I just practiced in my sleep, I think about it every day, and dream at night.When I was awake, I kept reciting the mantra, and the thoughts in my mind were all the exercises on the iron board. After I fell asleep, I practiced according to the law unconsciously, but after all, my thoughts were chaotic, and I didn't follow the method completely.At this time, the spirit was refreshed, and I touched the formulas and exercises again twice, and I thought clearly in my heart, so I sat cross-legged and practiced step by step.After only practicing for an hour, I felt that some of the alien true qi that had been smoldering in the dantian for a long time had dispersed into the Ren meridian. Although it could not be expelled from the body, the suffering of turbulent qi and blood had been greatly reduced. He stood up and sang with great joy, but he felt that the singing was hoarse and unpleasant. It turned out that he had yelled a lot earlier in order to make his throat hoarse, but it had paid off. He thought: "Let me do it, let me do it , You left these formulas to harm people. Who would have thought that it would be beneficial to me instead of harming me. You know it from death, I’m afraid it will make your beard grow up in anger! Haha, haha!" Such uninterrupted exercise, practice for a while longer, the body will feel more comfortable, I thought: "After I have dissipated all the true energy of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley and Monk Bujie, I will practice again according to the method taught by the master.内功。虽然一切从头做起，要花上不少功夫，但我这条性命，只怕就此捡回来了。如果向大哥终于来救我出去，江湖之上，岂不是另有一番天地？” 忽尔又想：“师父既已将我逐出华山派，我又何必再练华山派内功？武林中各家各派的内功甚多，我便跟向大哥学，又或是跟盈盈学，却又何妨？”心中一阵凄凉，又一阵兴奋。
这日吃了饭后，练了一会功，只觉说不出的舒服，不由自主地纵声大笑。 忽听得黑白子的声音在门外说道：“前辈你好，晚辈在这里侍候多时了。”原来不知不觉间三日之期已届，令狐冲潜心练功散气，连黑白子来到门外亦未发觉，幸好嗓子已哑，他并未察觉，于是又干笑几声。黑白子道：“前辈今日兴致甚高，便收弟子入门如何？” 令狐冲寻思：“我如答允收他为弟子，传他这些练功的法门，他一开门进来，发现是我风二中而不是那姓任前辈，自然立时翻脸。再说，就算传他功夫的真是任前辈，黑白子练成之后，多半会设法将他害死，譬如在饭菜中下毒之类。是了，这黑白子要下毒害死我，当真易如反掌，他学到了口诀，怎会再将我放出？任前辈十二年来所以不肯传他，自是为此了。” 黑白子听他不答，说道：“前辈传功之后，弟子即去拿美酒肥鸡来孝敬前辈。”令狐冲遭囚多日，每日吃的都是青菜豆腐，一听到“美酒肥鸡”，不由得馋涎欲滴，说道：“好，你先去拿美酒肥鸡来，我吃了之后，心中一高兴，或许便传你些功夫。”黑白子忙道：“好好，我去取美酒肥鸡。不过今天是不成了，明日如有机缘，弟子自当取来奉献。” 令狐冲道：“干吗今日不成？”黑白子道：“来到此处，须得经过我大哥的卧室，只有乘着我大哥静坐用功，全神出窍之时，才能……才能……”令狐冲嗯了一声，便不言语了。 黑白子记挂着黄钟公坐功完毕，回入卧室，当下不敢多耽，告辞而去。 令狐冲心想：“怎生才能将黑白子诱进牢房，打死了他？此人狡猾之极，决不会上当。何况扯不断手足的铁链，就算打死了黑白子，我仍然不能脱困。”心中转着念头，右手几根手指伸到左腕的铁圈中，用力一扳，那是无意中的随手而扳，决没想真能扯开铁圈，可是那铁圈竟然张了开来，又扳了几下，左腕竟从铁圈中脱出。 这一下大出意外，惊喜交集，摸那铁圈，原来中间竟然有一断口，但若自己内力未曾散开，稍一使力，便欲昏晕，圈上虽有断口，终究也扳不开来。此刻他已散了两天内息，桃谷六仙与不戒大师注入他体内的真气有部分到了任脉之中，自然而然生出强劲内力，而不致如往日般气血翻涌。再摸右腕上的铁圈，果然也有一条细缝。这条细缝以前不知曾摸到过多少次，但说什么也想不到这竟是断口。当即左手使劲，将右腕上的铁圈也扳开了，跟着摸到箍在两只足胫上的铁圈，也都有断口，运劲扳开，一一除下，只累得满身大汗，气喘不已。铁圈既除，铁链随之脱落，身上已无束缚。他好生奇怪：“为什么每个铁圈上都有断口？这样的铁圈，怎能锁得住人？” 次日那老人送饭来时，令狐冲就着灯光一看，只见铁圈断口处，有一条条细微的钢丝锯纹，显是有人以一条极细的钢丝锯子，将足镣手铐上四个铁圈都锯断了，断口处闪闪发光，并未生锈，铁圈锯断，必是在不久以前，何以这些铁圈又合了拢来，套在自己手足上？“那多半有人暗中在设法救我。这地牢如此隐密，外人决计无法入来，救我之人必是梅庄中的人物。想来他不愿这等对我暗算，因此在我昏迷不醒之时，暗中用钢丝锯子将脚镣手铐锯开了。此人自不肯和梅庄中余人公然为敌，只有觑到机会，再来放我出去。” 想到此处，精神大振，心想：“这地道的入口处在黄钟公的卧床之下，如是黄钟公想救我，随时可以动手，不必耽搁这许多时光。黑白子当然不会。秃笔翁和丹青生二人之中，丹青生和我是酒中知己，交情与众不同，十之八九是丹青生。”再想到黑白子明日来时如何应付：“我只跟他顺口敷衍，骗他些酒肉吃，教他些假功夫，有何不可？” 随即又想：“丹青生随时会来救我出去，须得赶快将铁板上的口诀法门记熟了。”摸着字迹，口中诵读，心中记忆。先前摸到这些字迹时并不在意，此时真要记诵得绝无错失，倒也不是易事。铁板上字迹潦草，他读书不多，有些草字便不识得，只好强记笔画，胡乱念个别字充数。心想这些上乘功夫的法门，一字之错，往往令得练功者人鬼殊途，成败逆转，只要练得稍有不对，难免走火入魔。出此牢后，当再无机会重来读诀，非记得没半点错漏不可。他念了一遍又一遍，不知读了多少遍，几乎倒背也背得出了，这才安心入睡。 睡梦之中，果见丹青生前来打开牢门，放他出去，令狐冲一惊而醒，待觉是南柯一梦，却也并不沮丧，心想：“他今日不来救，只不过未得其便，不久自会来救。” 心想这铁板上的口诀法门于我十分有用，于别人却有大害，日后如再有人给囚于这黑牢之中，那人自然是好人，可不能让他上了那任我行的大当。当下摸着字迹，又从头至尾地读了十来遍，拿起除下的铁铐，将其中的字迹刮去了十几个字。 这一天黑白子并未前来，令狐冲也不在意，照着口诀法门，继续修习。其后数日，黑白子始终没来。令狐冲自觉练功大有进境，桃谷六仙和不戒和尚留在自己体内的异种真气，已有六七成从丹田中驱出，散之于任脉、督脉，以及阳维、阴维、阳蹻、阴蹻，以至冲脉、带脉等奇经八脉。虽要散入带脉、冲脉较为艰难，但铁板上所刻心法祥加教导，令狐冲以前修习过华山派内功，于这经脉之学倒也知之甚稔，心想即使目前不成，只须持之有恒，自能尽数驱出。 他每日背诵口诀数十遍，刮去铁板上的字迹数十字，自觉力气越来越大，用铁铐刮削铁板，已花不了多大力气。如此又过了一月有余，他虽在地底，亦觉得炎暑之威渐减，心想：“冥冥之中果有天意，我若是冬天被囚于此，决不会发现铁板上的字迹。说不定热天未到，丹青生已将我救了出去。” 正想到此处，忽听得甬道中又传来了黑白子的脚步声。
令狐冲本来横卧在床，当即转身，面向里壁，只听得黑白子走到门外，说道：“任……任老前辈，真正万分对不起。这一个多月来，我大哥一直不出室门。在下每日里焦急万状，只盼来跟你老人家请安问候，总不得其便。你……你老人家千万别见怪才好！”一阵酒香鸡香，从方孔中传了进来。 令狐冲这许多日子滴酒未沾，一闻到酒香，哪里还忍得住，转身道：“把酒菜拿来吃了再说。”黑白子道：“是，是。前辈答允传我神功的秘诀了？”令狐冲道：“每次你送三斤酒、一只鸡来，我便传你四句口诀。等我喝了三千斤酒，吃了一千只鸡，口诀也传得差不多了。”黑白子道：“这样未免太慢，只怕日久有变。晚辈每次送六斤酒、两只鸡，前辈每次便传八句口诀如何？”令狐冲笑道：“那也可以。拿来，拿来！” 黑白子托着木盘，从方孔中递将进去，盘上果是一大壶酒、一只肥鸡。 令狐冲心想：“我未传口诀，你总不能先毒死我。”提起酒壶，咕嘟嘟地便喝。这酒并不甚佳，但这时喝在口里，实在醇美无比，似乎丹青生四酿四蒸的吐鲁番葡萄浓酒也有所不及，当下一口气便喝了半壶，跟着撕下一条鸡腿大嚼起来，顷刻之间，将一壶酒、一只鸡吃得干干净净，拍了拍肚子，赞道：“好酒，好酒！” 黑白子笑道：“老爷子吃了肥鸡美酒，便请传授口诀了。”令狐冲听他再也不提拜师之事，只道自己喝酒吃鸡之余，一时记不起了，当下也就不提，说道：“好，这四句口诀，你牢牢记住了：'奇经八脉，中有内息，聚之丹田，会于膻中。'你懂得解么？”铁板上原来的口诀是：“丹田内息，散于四肢，膻中之气，分注八脉。”他故意将之倒了转来。黑白子一听，觉这四句口诀平平无奇，乃练气的寻常法门，说道：“这四句，在下领会得，请前辈再传四句。” 令狐冲心想：“这四句经我一改，变成毫无特色，他自感不足了，须当念四句十分古怪的，吓唬吓唬他。”说道：“今天是第一日，索性多传四句，你记好了。'震裂阳维，塞绝阴蹻，八脉齐断，神功自成。'” 黑白子大吃一惊，道：“这……这……这人身的奇经八脉倘若断绝了，哪里还活得成？这……这四句口诀，晚辈可当真不明白了。”令狐冲道：“这等神功大法，倘若人人都能领会，那还有什么希奇？这中间自然有许多精微奇妙之处，常人不易索解。” 黑白子听到这里，越来越觉他说话的语气、所用的辞句，与那姓任之人大不相同，不由得疑心大起。前两次令狐冲说话极少，辞语又十分含糊，这一次吃了酒后，精神振奋，说话多了，黑白子十分机警，登时便生疑窦，料想他有意改变口诀，戏弄自己，说道：“你说'八脉齐断，神功自成'，难道老爷子自己这奇经八脉都已断绝了吗？” 令狐冲道：“这个自然。”他从黑白子语气之中，听出他已起了疑心，不敢跟他多说，道：“全部传完，你融会贯通，自能明白。”说着将酒壶放在盘上，从方孔中递将出去。黑白子伸手来接。 令狐冲突然“啊哟”一声，身子向前一冲，当的一声，额头撞上铁门。 黑白子惊道：“怎样了？”他这等武功高强之人，反应极快，一伸手，已探入方孔，抓住木盘，生怕酒壶掉在地下摔碎。 便在这电光石火的一瞬之间，令狐冲左手翻上，抓住了他右手手腕，笑道：“黑白子，你瞧瞧我到底是谁？”黑白子大惊，颤声道：“你……你……” 令狐冲将木盘递出去之时，并未有抓他手腕的念头，待在油灯微光下见到黑白子手掌在方孔外一晃，只待接他木盘，突然之间，心中起了一股难以抑制的冲动。自己在这里囚禁多日，全是出于这人的狡计，若能将他手腕扭断了，也足稍出心中的恶气；又想他出其不意地给自己抓住，必然大吃一惊，这人如此奸诈，吓他一跳，又有何不可？也不知是出于报复之意，还是一时童心大盛，便这么假装摔跌，引得他伸手进来，抓住了他手腕。 黑白子本来十分机警，只是这一下实在太过突如其来，事先更没半点朕兆，待得心中微觉不妥，手腕已遭对方抓住，只觉对方五根手指便如是一只铁箍，牢牢地扣住了自己右腕上“内关”、“外关”两处穴道，当即手腕急旋，反打擒拿。 当的一声大响，左足三根足趾立时折断，痛得啊啊大叫。 何以他右手手腕被扣，左足的足趾却会折断，岂非甚奇？原来黑白子于对方向来深自敬惮，这时手腕遭扣，立即想到有性命之忧，忙不迭地使出一招“蛟龙出渊”。这一招乃手腕为人扣住时所用，手臂向内急夺，左足无影无踪地疾踢而出，这一脚势道厉害已极，正中敌人胸口，非将他踢得当场吐血不可。敌人若是高手，知所趋避，便须立时放开他手腕，否则没法躲得过这当胸一脚。也是事出仓促，黑白子急于脱困，没想到自己和对方之间隔了一道厚厚的铁门，这一招“蛟龙出渊”确是使对了，这一脚也踢得部位既准，力道又凌厉之极，只是当的一声大响，踢中的乃是铁门。 令狐冲听到铁门这一声大响，这才明白，自己全仗铁门保护，才逃过了黑白子如此厉害的当胸一脚，忍不住哈哈大笑，说道：“再踢一脚，踢得也这样重，我便放你。” 突然之间，黑白子猛觉右腕“内关”、“外关”两处穴道中内力源源外泄，不由得想起生平最害怕的一件事来，登时魂飞天外，一面运力凝气，一面哀声求告：“老……老爷子，求你……”他一说话，内力更大量涌出，只得住口，但内力还是不住飞快泄出。 令狐冲自练了铁板上的功夫之后，丹田已然如竹之虚、如谷之空，这时觉得丹田中有气注入，却也并不在意。只觉黑白子手腕不住颤抖，显是害怕之极，心中气他不过，索性吓他一吓，喝道：“我传了你功夫，你便是本门弟子了，你欺师灭祖，该当何罪？” 黑白子只觉内力愈泄愈快，勉强凝气，还暂时能止得住，但呼吸终究难免，一呼一吸之际，内力便大量外泄，这时早忘了足趾上的疼痛，只求右手能从方孔中脱出，纵然少了一只手一只脚也所甘愿，一想到此处，伸手便去腰间拔剑。 他身子这么一动，右腕上“内关”、“外关”两处穴道便如开了两个大缺口，立时全身内力急泻而出，有如河水决堤，再难堵截。黑白子知道只须再捱得一刻，全身内力便尽数为对方吸去，当下奋力抽出腰间长剑，咬紧牙齿，举将起来，便欲将自己手臂砍断。但这么一使力，内力奔腾而出，耳朵中嗡的一声，便晕了过去。 令狐冲抓住他手腕，只不过想吓他一吓，最多也是扭断他腕骨，以泄心中积忿，没料到他竟会吓得如此的魂不附体，以致晕去，哈哈一笑，便松了手。他这一松手，黑白子身子倒下，右手便从方孔中缩回。 令狐冲脑中突如电光般闪过一个念头，急忙抓住他的手掌，其时出手迅捷异常，及时拉住，心想：“我何不用铁铐将他铐住，逼迫黄钟公他们放我？”当下使力将黑白子的手腕拉近，没料想用力一拉，黑白子的脑袋竟从方孔中钻了进来，呼的一声，整个身子都进了牢房。 这一下实大出意料之外，他一呆之下，暗骂自己愚不可及，这洞孔有尺许见方，只要脑袋通得过，身子便亦通得过，黑白子既能进来，自己又何尝不能出去？以前四肢为铐链所系，自然无法越狱，但铐链早已暗中给人锯开，却为何不逃？又忖：“丹青生暗中给我锯断了铐链，日日盼望我跟着那送饭的老人越狱逃走，想必心焦之极了。”他发觉铐链已为人锯断之时，正自全副精神贯注于散功，其时铁板上的功诀尚未背熟，自不愿就此离去，只因内心深处不愿便即离开牢房，是以也未曾想到逃狱。 他略一沉吟，已有了主意，匆匆除下黑白子和自己身上的衣衫，对调了穿好，连黑白子那头罩也套在头上，心想：“出去时就算遇上了旁人，他们也只道我便是黑白子。”将黑白子的长剑插在自己腰间，一剑在身，更加精神大振，又将黑白子的手足都铐在铐镣的铁圈之中，用力捏紧，这一捏便察觉自己力气大极，铁圈深陷入肉。 黑白子痛得醒了过来，呻吟出声。令狐冲笑道：“咱哥儿俩扳扳位！那老头儿每天会送饭送水来。”黑白子呻吟道：“任……任老爷子……你……你的吸星大法……”令狐冲那日在荒郊和向问天联手抗敌，听得对方人群中有人叫过“吸星大法”，这时又听黑白子说起，便问：“什么吸星大法？”黑白子道：“我……我……该……该死……” 令狐冲脱身要紧，也不去理他，从方孔中探头出去，两只手臂也伸到了洞外，手掌在铁门上轻轻一推，身子射出，稳稳站在地下，只觉丹田中又积蓄了大量内息，颇不舒服。他不知这些内力乃从黑白子身上吸来，只道久不练功，桃谷六仙和不戒和尚的内力又回入了丹田。这时只盼尽快离开黑狱，当下提了黑白子留下的油灯，从地道中出去。 地道中门户都是虚掩，料想黑白子要待出去时再行上锁，这一来，令狐冲便毫不费力地脱离了牢笼。他迈过一道道坚固的门户，想起这些在黑牢中的日子，当真如同隔世，突然之间，对黄钟公他们也已不怎么怀恨，但觉身得自由，便什么都不在乎了。 走到了地道尽头，拾级而上，头顶是块铁板，侧耳倾听，上面并无声息。自从经过这次失陷，他一切小心谨慎得多了，并不立即冲上，站在铁板之下等了好一会，仍没听得任何声息。确知黄钟公当真不在卧室，这才轻轻托起铁板，纵身而上。 他从床上的孔中跃出，放好铁板，拉上席子，蹑手蹑足地走出来，忽听得身后一人阴恻恻地道：“二弟，你下去干什么？” 令狐冲一惊回头，只见黄钟公、秃笔翁、丹青生三人各挺兵刃，围在身周。他不知秘门上装有机关消息，这么贸然闯出，机关上铃声大作，将黄钟公等三人引了来，只是他戴着头罩，穿的又是黑白子的长袍，无人认他得出。令狐冲一惊之下，说道：“我……我……” 黄钟公冷冷地道：“我什么？我看你神情不正，早料到你是要去求任我行教你练那吸星妖法，哼哼，当年你发过什么誓来？” 令狐冲心中混乱，不知是暴露自己真相好呢，还是冒充黑白子到底，一时拿不定主意，拔出腰间长剑，向秃笔翁刺去。秃笔翁怒道：“好二哥，当真动剑吗？”举笔一封。令狐冲这一剑只是虚招，乘他举笔挡架，便即发足奔出。黄钟公等三人直追出来。 令狐冲提气疾奔，脚步奇速，片刻间便奔到了大厅。黄钟公大叫：“二弟，二弟，你到哪里去？”令狐冲不答，仍拔足飞奔。突见迎面一人站在大门正中，说道：“二庄主，请留步！” 令狐冲奔得正急，收足不住，砰的一声，重重撞在他身上。这一冲之势好急，那人直飞出去，摔在数丈之外。令狐冲忙中看时，见是一字电剑丁坚，直挺挺地横在当地，身子倒确是作“一字”之形，只是和“电剑”二字却拉不上干系了。 令狐冲足不停步地向小路上奔去。黄钟公等一到庄子门口，便不再追来。丹青生大叫：“二哥，二哥，快回来，咱们兄弟有什么事不好商量……”
令狐冲只拣荒僻的小路飞奔，到了一处无人的山野，显是离杭州城已远。他如此迅捷飞奔，停下来时竟既不疲累，也不气喘，似乎功力尚胜过了受伤之前。 其时黑夜四野无人，他除下头上罩子，听到淙淙水声，口中正渴，当下循声过去，来到一条山溪之畔，正要俯身去捧水喝，月光掩映下，水中映出一个人来，头发篷松，满脸污秽，神情甚是丑怪。 令狐冲吃了一惊，随即哑然一笑，囚居数月，从不梳洗，自然是如此龌龊了，霎时间只觉全身奇痒，当下除去外袍，跳在溪水中好好洗了个澡，心想：“身上的老泥便没半担，也会有三十斤。”浑身上下擦洗干净，喝饱清水后，将头发挽在头顶，提起剑来，剃去了满腮胡渣，水中一照，已回复了本来面目，与那满脸浮肿的风二中已没半点相似之处。 穿衣之际，觉得胸腹间气血不畅，当下在溪边行功片刻，便觉丹田中的内息已散入奇经八脉，丹田内又是如竹之空、似谷之虚，而全身振奋，
