Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Wronged
Linghu Chong turned around and walked towards the street, asked the passers-by where the Fuwei Escort was, but he didn't want to go there for a while, just strolled in the streets and alleys.Whether he was afraid to see Master and Mistress, or whether he was afraid to see the current situation of Junior Sister and Junior Brother Lin with his own eyes, but he couldn't say, he found excuses to delay, and it seemed that a moment would be a good time.Suddenly, a very familiar voice came into my ears: "Xiao Linzi, are you going to drink with me?"
Immediately, Linghu Chong's chest was filled with blood, and his head felt dizzy.He came all the way to Fujian just to hear the voice and see the face of the owner of the voice.But at this moment, I really heard it, but I didn't dare to turn my head away.In an instant, he was stunned like a clay sculpture or wood carving, tears welled up in his eyes, and his vision was blurry.
Just such a title, such a sentence, you know that Junior Sister and Junior Brother Lin are very intimate.
Just listen to Lin Pingzhi's way: "I have no skill. I haven't practiced the homework that Master gave me." Yue Lingshan said: "These three sword moves are easy. If you drink with me, I will teach you one of them. How about the trick, okay?" Lin Pingzhi said: "Master and Mistress told us not to wander around in the city these few days, so as not to cause trouble. I mean, let's go back." Yue Lingshan said: "Is it right? Is it not allowed to go for a walk in the street? I haven’t seen any martial arts figures. Besides, even if there is a powerful man from the rivers and lakes, we will not make trouble with him, so what are we afraid of?” The two gradually walked away as they talked.
Linghu Chong turned around slowly, and saw Yue Lingshan's slender back on the left, and Lin Pingzhi's tall back on the right, they were walking side by side.Yue Lingshan wore a lake green shirt and emerald green skirt.Lin Pingzhi was wearing a pale yellow robe.The clothes and shoes of the two are clean and clean, just looking at their backs, they are a pair of biren with equal talents and looks.Linghu Chong's chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he could hardly breathe.He and Yue Lingshan had been separated for several months, although he missed her endlessly, but when he saw her today, he knew how much he loved her.He put his hand on the hilt of the sword, wishing he could draw it out, and slay himself.All of a sudden, my eyes went dark, and I felt my world spinning, and I fell and sat down on the street.
After a while, he collected himself, stood up slowly, his mind was still dizzy, and thought: "I will never see the two of them again. What's the use of worrying about it? Tonight I secretly went to see Master and Mistress, and left a letter to tell me that if Wo Xing re-enters the rivers and lakes, he will fight against the Huashan faction. This person is extremely skilled in martial arts, and he two old people must be careful. I don’t need to leave my name, and I will be far away from now on. Go to a foreign land, and never set foot in the Central Plains." Back in the shop, he called for wine and drank.After getting drunk, I fell asleep on the bed with my clothes on.
Woke up in the middle of the night, jumped over the wall, and went straight to Fuwei Escort.The Escort has a grand structure and is extremely recognizable.Seeing that all the lights in the escort agency were turned off, and there was no sound at all, he thought to himself: "I don't know where Master and Mistress live? I must be asleep now."
At this moment, I saw a figure flashing on the wall on the left, a black figure came out across the wall, it was a woman, this woman ran towards the southwest corner, the lightness kung fu she used was exactly her school's body method.Linghu Chong cheered up and chased after him, looking at the back, he could vaguely be Yue Lingshan, thinking: "Where did little junior sister go in the middle of the night?"
But seeing Yue Lingshan walking quickly by the wall, Linghu Chong was so strange that he followed her four or five zhang away, his steps were light, and she didn't hear the slightest sound.The streets in Fuzhou city are criss-crossed, Yue Lingshan turned east and turned west. This road was obviously used to walking, and he never hesitated on the fork road. After running for more than two miles, he turned into a small road on the side of a stone bridge. lane.
Linghu Chong flew up to the house, and saw her walk to the end of the alley and leap into the wall of a big house.The big house has a black door and white walls, and an old vine is coiled on top of the wall, and light shines from several windows in the house.
Yue Lingshan walked to the window of the east wing, looked inward through the crack of the window, and suddenly screamed ghostly.
Linghu Chong originally expected that this place must be the enemy's residence, she came to spy on the enemy, and suddenly heard her scream, it was unexpected, but when he heard the voice of the person inside the window, he suddenly understood.
The person in the window said: "Sister, do you want to scare me to death? If you are scared to death and become a ghost, at most you will be just like you."
Yue Lingshan said with a smile: "Stinky Linzi, dead Linzi, you call me a ghost, be careful I'll dig out your heart and liver." Lin Pingzhi said: "You don't need to dig it, I will dig it for you." Yue Lingshan said with a smile: "Okay, if you gossip with me, I'll tell my mother right now." Lin Pingzhi said with a smile: "If my wife asks you, when and where did I say this, how can you answer?" Yue Lingshan said: "I said it was in the sword practice field this afternoon. You don't focus on practicing swords, but you talk to me about these gossips." Lin Pingzhi said: "When my wife is annoyed, she will definitely lock me up. I won't be able to see you for three months." Yue Lingshan said: "Bah! Do I care? If you don't see it, you won't see it! Hey, Smelly Linzi, you haven't opened the window yet, what are you doing?"
Amidst Lin Pingzhi's long laughter, with a bang, the two wooden windows were pushed open.Yue Lingshan shrank and hid aside.Lin Pingzhi said to himself: "I thought it was the senior sister who came, but there was no one there." He gestured to close the window slowly.Yue Lingshan jumped in from the window.
Linghu Chong squatted in the corner of the room, listening to the two people's jokes, he didn't know if he was still alive, he only hoped that he didn't hear a word, but every word came to his ears clearly.But the two people in the wing room laughed together.
The window was half closed, and the shadows of the two were reflected on the window paper. The two heads leaned against each other, but their laughter gradually died down.
Linghu Chong sighed softly, and was about to turn around and leave.Suddenly I heard Yue Lingshan say: "I'm still staying up so late, what are you doing?" Lin Pingzhi said: "I'm waiting for you." Yue Lingshan smiled and said: "Bah, you don't have to worry about losing your big teeth if you lie, how do you know I will?" Come?" Lin Pingzhi said: "The mountain people have clever calculations, and when they have a whim, they will know that my good sister is coming." Yue Lingshan said: "I know, seeing the chaos in your room, it must be You're looking for that sword manual again, aren't you?"
Linghu Chong had already walked a few steps, when he suddenly heard the word "Sword Manual", he turned around again with a thought.I only heard Lin Pingzhi say: "In the past few months, I have searched this house several times, even the tiles on the roof have been turned over one by one, and the bricks on the wall have not been removed. Come down and have a look... Ah, senior sister, this old house is useless anyway, let's really tear down the walls and have a look, shall we?" Yue Lingshan said: "This is your Lin family's house, it's okay to tear it down Why do you ask me?" Lin Pingzhi said: "It's the Lin family's house, so I have to ask you." Yue Lingshan said: "Why?" Lin Pingzhi smiled and said: "If you don't ask, who are you asking? Could it be that you... your surname will not be... not my surname... hum... hum... hee hee."
Yue Lingshan scolded with a smile: "Smelly Linzi, dead Linzi, are you trying to take advantage of me?" There was another crackling sound, obviously she was slapping Lin Pingzhi with her hands.
The two of them were teasing in the room, Linghu Chong felt as if a knife was piercing his heart, and wanted to leave immediately, but the "Sword Manual of Dispelling Evil" had a lot to do with him.When Lin Pingzhi's parents were dying, they had a few last words they wanted to bring to their son, but he was the only one by his side at that time, so he was wronged.Later, he was taught by Uncle Feng Tai, and learned the miraculous sword technique of Dugu Nine Swords. Everyone in the Huashan School thought that he had swallowed up the "Sword of Exorcising Evil", and even the little junior sister who had always been close was very suspicious.In all fairness, I can't blame other people for this matter. I thought about it the day I went up to the cliff, and I even had a sword confrontation with my teacher, but I couldn't stop the "Wu Shuang Wu pair, Ning's sword", but I lived on the cliff for several months. , Suddenly the swordsmanship has greatly improved, and this swordsmanship is very different from the swordsmanship of our sect. If I didn't get the secrets of swordsmanship from other schools, how could I do this?And what would this other sect's secret book of swordsmanship be if it wasn't the Lin family's "Sword Manual for Dispelling Evils"?
He is in a place of suspicion, just because he promised Uncle Feng not to reveal his whereabouts, it is really hard to argue.In the middle of the night, he thought to himself, the reason why the master drove him out of the door and acted so resolutely, although he had made friends with demons and monsters, another important reason, most likely believed that he had swallowed up the "Sword of Exorcising Evil" and acted despicably, so he should not be listed in Huashan again Pai door.Now hearing Yue and Lin talk about the sword manual, even though the two of them are teasing and teasing intimately, they should bear their sorrow and listen to the truth.
Only Yue Lingshan said: "You have been looking for it for several months. Since you can't find it, the sword manual is no longer here. Why are you tearing down the wall? Big Brother... Big Brother just said something casually, and you really did it?" Linghu Chong felt a pain in his heart again: "She actually still called me 'Brother Master'!" Lin Pingzhi said: "Brother Master passed on my father's last words, saying that the relics of ancestors in the old house in Xiangyang Lane should not be looked at. I think That sword manual, even though the big brother borrowed it, he will not return it..." Linghu Chong sneered sadly, and said in his heart: "You are being polite, don't say I swallowed it up, but said you borrowed it and will not return it, hum, That doesn’t need to be so euphemistic.”
I only heard Lin Pingzhi continue: "But I think the five words 'Xiangyang Lane Old House' cannot be fabricated by the elder brother, it must be the last words of my parents. The elder brother and my family have never met, I have never been to Fuzhou, so I would not know that there is Xiangyang Lane in Fuzhou, and I would not know that the old house of my Lin family ancestors is in Xiangyang Lane. Even if I am a native of Fuzhou, I don’t know much about it.”
Yue Lingshan said: "Even if it is indeed your parents' last words, so what?"
Lin Pingzhi said: "Master brother relayed my father's last words and mentioned the word 'review', so he would not have read the Four Books and Five Classics, or some old bad debts. After much deliberation, it must be related to the sword manual. I think, since the old house in Xiangyang Lane was mentioned in the last words of my father, even if the sword manual is no longer there, some clues can be found here."
Yue Lingshan said: "That's true. These days, I see that you are always in a bad mood, and you refuse to sleep in the escort agency at night. I am worried that you must come back here, so I came here to have a look. So you Practicing swords, and you have to be strong to accompany me, but you dig a nest here at night."
Lin Pingzhi smiled lightly, then sighed, and said: "I think my parents died so badly. If I find the sword manual, I can use the sword skills handed down by the Lin family ancestors to slash the enemy. Only then can I comfort my parents' souls in heaven."
Yue Lingshan said: "I don't know where the elder brother is at the moment? I wish I could see him, and I will definitely ask him to return the sword manual on your behalf. His sword skills have already been practiced extremely well, and this sword manual should be returned to its original owner." Lah. I said, Xiao Linzi, you should get rid of this obsession as soon as possible, so you don’t need to search around in this old house. There is no such sword manual, and you can avenge my father’s Zixia magical skill by practicing it.”
Lin Pingzhi said: "That's natural. Only my parents were tortured and insulted before they were alive, and they died so terribly. If I can avenge my father and mother with the swordsmanship passed down by my Lin family ancestors, I will really express my anger for my parents. Besides, Ben Men Zixia's magical skills have never been taught lightly to disciples, I was the last to start, even though my teacher and wife look after me, all the senior brothers and sisters are not convinced, I must say... must say..."
Yue Lingshan said: "What are you going to say?"
Lin Pingzhi said: "It's not necessarily true to say I'm good to you, but it's just to please my teacher and teacher's wife in the face of Zixia's magical skills." Yue Lingshan said: "Bah! Let others say what they want. As long as I know that you are sincere." Lin Pingzhi smiled and said: "How do you know that I am sincere?" Yue Lingshan slapped him hard on the shoulder or back, and spat: "I know you are False love and hypocrisy are wolf-hearted!"
Lin Pingzhi smiled and said: "Okay, I've been here for so long, it's time to go back, I'll send you back to the escort agency. If Master and Mistress find out, it would be terrible." Yue Lingshan said: "You chased me back, didn't you? ? If you drive me away, I'll leave. Who wants you to send it?" The tone was very displeased.Linghu Chong knew that she must have pursed her mouth at this time, slightly angry and slightly angry, so there was something else in her heart.
Lin Pingzhi said: "Master said, the former director of the Devil's Cult, Wo Xing, has reappeared in the world. I heard that he has arrived in Fujian. This person's martial arts are unfathomable and ruthless. If you walk alone in the middle of the night, if you happen to meet him, then... What should I do then?"
Linghu Chong thought to himself: "It turns out that Master already knew about this matter. That's right, I made such a fuss in Xianxia Ridge, and everyone said that I was allowed to come back. Is there any reason why Master didn't hear the news? I don't need to write this letter."
Yue Lingshan said: "Hmph, if you send me back, if you meet him by chance, can you kill him and capture him?"
Lin Pingzhi said: "You know that I am not good at martial arts, but you are making fun of me again? Of course I can't deal with him, but as long as I am with you, even if I am going to die, I will die together."
Yue Lingshan said softly: "Xiao Linzi, I'm not saying that you are not good at martial arts. If you practice so hard, you will definitely be better than me in the future. In fact, you are not very familiar with swordsmanship. If you really fight, I really can't match you."
Lin Pingzhi smiled lightly and said, "Unless you wield the sword with your left hand, maybe we can still compete."
Yue Lingshan said: "Let me look for it for you. You are familiar with the things at home, so maybe I can see something eye-catching." Lin Pingzhi said: "Okay, just take a look What's weird here."
Then I heard the sound of opening drawers and pulling tables.After a long while, Yue Lingshan said: "Everything is normal here. Is there anything unusual in your house?" Lin Pingzhi pondered for a while, then said: "An unusual place? No." Yue Lingshan said: "Your house Where is the training ground?" Lin Pingzhi said: "There is no training ground. After my great-grandfather founded the Escort Bureau, he moved to live in the Escort Bureau. My grandfather and father both practiced kung fu in the Escort Bureau. Besides, in my father's last words There is the word 'look through', there is nothing to look through in the training ground." Yue Lingshan said: "That's right, let's go to your study." Lin Pingzhi said: "We are a family of bodyguards, only the accountant, There is no study room. The counting room is also in the escort bureau."
Yue Lingshan said: "That's really hard to find. In this house, what can I look for?"
Lin Pingzhi said: "I'm thinking about what Elder Brother said, he said that my father ordered me not to look through the relics of my ancestors, but in fact it was mostly an irony, telling me to definitely look through the relics of my ancestors in this old house. But what is there to read here? After thinking about it, there are only some Buddhist scriptures of my great-grandfather." Yue Lingshan jumped up and clapped her hands: "Buddhist scriptures! That's very good. Patriarch Bodhidharma is the ancestor of martial arts, and in Buddhist scriptures There is a sword manual hidden, but it is nothing unusual."
Hearing what Yue Lingshan said, Linghu Chong was refreshed, and thought: "Junior Brother Lin, if he can find the sword manual in the Buddhist scriptures, that would be great, lest they suspect that I swallowed it up."
But I heard Lin Pingzhi say: "I have read it a long time ago. Not only once or twice, but not ten times or eight times, I am afraid that I have read it a hundred times. I also bought the Diamond Sutra and the Lotus Sutra. , Heart Sutra, and Langa Sutra with the Buddhist scriptures left by my great-grandfather, and they are indeed not bad. Those Buddhist scriptures are ordinary Buddhist scriptures." Yue Lingshan said: "Then there is nothing to turn over." She pondered for a while, Suddenly said: "Did you find it in the interlayer of Buddhist scriptures?"
Lin Pingyi was stunned, and said, "Mezzanine? I didn't expect that. Let's go and have a look."
Holding a candlestick each, the two came out of the wing room hand in hand and walked towards the backyard.Linghu Chong followed on the roof, saw the candlelight shining through the windows of each house, and finally reached a room in the northwest corner.Linghu Chong followed, walked down the yard lightly, and looked in through the crack of the window.I saw a Buddhist temple inside.Hanging in the middle is an ink painting, which depicts the back of Patriarch Bodhidharma, and naturally describes his condition of facing the wall for nine years.To the west of the Buddhist hall is an extremely old futon. On the table are wooden fish, bells and chimes, and a stack of Buddhist scriptures.Linghu Chong thought to himself: "This senior Lin who founded the Fuwei Escort Bureau was famous far and wide back then, and his subordinates must have injured many thieves in the green forest. I want to come here in his later years and repent his life and murder here." Heroes and heroes, when their hair is gray, sitting in this gloomy Buddhist hall knocking on wooden fish and chanting scriptures, their mood is really lonely and desolate.
Yue Lingshan took a Buddhist scripture and said: "Let's take apart the scripture and check if there is anything in the interlayer. If we can't find it, then fix the scripture again. Do you think it's okay?" Lin Pingzhi Said: "Okay!" He picked up a Buddhist scripture, broke the silk thread that bound the book, and spread the pages of the book to see if there were writings in the interlayer.
Yue Lingshan opened another Buddhist scriptures, picked them up one by one and illuminated them in front of the candlelight.
Linghu Chong looked at her back, but saw that her wrist was as bright as jade, and she was still wearing the silver bracelet on her left hand. Sometimes she turned her face slightly, met Lin Pingzhi's eyes, smiled at each other, and went to check the pages of the book again, but she didn't know It was the candlelight, or her cheeks were flushed, but seeing half of her pretty face, it was really as beautiful as a spring peach.Linghu Chong quietly stood outside the window, fascinated by it.
The two of them opened one book after another, and they were about to finish the twelve Buddhist scriptures on the table, when suddenly, Linghu Chong heard a soft sound behind him.He shrank back, turned around, and saw two figures approaching from the south roof, gesturing to each other, leaping into the courtyard, landing silently.Immediately, the two of them leaned their eyes together through the crack of the window and looked inward.
After a while, Yue Lingshan heard Yue Lingshan say: "It's all dismantled, there's nothing left." The tone was very disappointed, and suddenly said: "Xiao Linzi, I thought of it, let's go get a basin of water." The voice turned around Quite excited.Lin Pingzhi asked: "What are you doing?" Yue Lingshan said: "When I was young, I heard my father tell a story about a kind of grass that was soaked in acid and used to write. Wet, but the handwriting reappeared."
Linghu Chong felt sore, remembering that when Master told this story, Yue Lingshan was only eight or nine years old, but she was fifteen or sixteen years old.The old things from that year came to my mind in no time. I remembered that day I went to catch crickets and fight with her. I gave her the biggest and strongest cricket, but she still lost.She kept crying, and after coaxing her for a long time, she returned to anger, and the two of them went to ask Master to tell a story.Thinking of these past events, tears welled up in his eyes again.
Just listen to Lin Pingzhi: "Yes, you might as well give it a try." Turning around and coming out, Yue Lingshan said: "I will go with you."
The two came out hand in hand.The two people hiding behind the window held their breath.After a while, Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan each carried a basin of water into the Buddhist hall, and soaked seven or eight loose pages of Buddhist scriptures in the water.Lin Pingzhi couldn't wait to pick up a page of Buddhist scriptures, and illuminated it in front of the candlelight, but he couldn't see any handwriting.The two tried more than 20 pages, but did not find the slightest abnormality.
Lin Pingzhi sighed and said, "No need to try, there are no other words written."
He just said these two words, the two people who were hiding outside the window quietly walked around to the door, pushed the door open and entered.Lin Pingzhi yelled: "Who is it?" The two rushed straight through the door like the wind.Lin Pingzhi raised his hands to parry, but someone was pointing him out under his threat.Yue Lingshan's long sword was only half drawn, and the enemy's two fingers had pierced her eyes, Yue Lingshan had no choice but to let go of the hilt of the sword and raise her hand to block it.The man scratched three times with his right hand, all pointing at her throat.Yue Lingshan was terrified, she took two steps back, her back was leaning against the edge of the altar, and she couldn't move any further.The man's left hand fell towards her Tianling Gai, Yue Lingshan's palms struck, unexpectedly the man's palm was a false move, the right hand pointed out, Yue Lingshan leaned on the altar with the middle finger on her left waist, and could no longer move. Linghu Chong saw all this. Seeing that Lin Yue and Lin Yue were not in danger for their lives at the moment, he thought he would not rush to save them, and let's see who the enemy is.I saw these two people looking around in the middle of the Buddhist hall, one lifted the underground futon and tore it in half, the other slapped the wooden fish into seven or eight pieces.Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan could neither speak nor move. Seeing that their palms were as strong as knives, tearing futons and smashing wooden fish, they obviously came to look for the "Sword Manual of Resisting Evil" and thought: "Why didn't I expect the sword manual?" Maybe it's hidden in the futon and wooden fish." Seeing that there was nothing hidden in the futon and wooden fish, they were all overjoyed. Both of them were in their fifties, one was bald and the other had gray hair.The two moved swiftly, smashing the altar tables and other objects in the Buddhist hall one by one in an instant; until there was nothing to break, both of them looked at the portrait of Patriarch Bodhidharma.The bald old man stretched out his left hand and grabbed the portrait.The white-haired old man stretched out his hand and shouted: "Wait a minute, look at his fingers!" Linghu Chong, Lin Pingzhi, and Yue Lingshan all looked at the portrait, but in the picture, Bodhidharma put his left hand behind his back, as if he was holding a sword formula, and his right index finger pointed to the roof.The bald old man asked: "What's so weird about his fingers?" The white-haired old man said: "I don't know! Let's try it." He straightened his body, pointed his palms at the point where Bodhidharma's index finger was pointing in the picture, and exerted strength in his palms. , hitting the roof. With a bang, the mud, sand and dust fell down.The bald old man said: "What is there..." After only four words, a ball of red material floated down from the hole in the roof, but it was a cassock worn by a monk. The white-haired old man stretched out his hand to catch it, illuminated by the candlelight, and said happily, "It's...here." He was so overjoyed that his voice trembled.The bald old man said: "What?" The white-haired old man said: "Look!" Linghu Chong stared, and saw that the cassock seemed to be covered with countless small characters. The bald old man said: "Could this be the "Sword Manual of Dispelling Evil"?" The white-haired old man said: "Nine times out of ten, it should be the sword manual. Haha, the two of us made such a great contribution today. Brother, put it away. "The bald old man was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He folded the cassock carefully, put it in his arms, pointed to Lin Yue and Lin Yue with his left hand, and said, "Are you dead?" Holding the sword hilt in his hand, Linghu Chong waited for the white-haired old man to reveal his intention to kill Lin Yue and the two of them, so he immediately rushed in and killed the two old men first.Unexpectedly, the white-haired old man said: "Since the sword manual has been obtained, there is no need to form a deep enmity with the Huashan sect, let them go." The two walked out of the Buddhist hall side by side and over the wall. Linghu Chong jumped out of the wall and followed behind.The two old men walked very quickly.Linghu Chong was afraid that he would lose the two of them in the dark, so he quickened his pace, and the distance between them was only thirty feet away. The two old men were in a hurry, so Linghu Chong also quickened his pace.All of a sudden, the two old men stopped abruptly, turned around, a cold light flashed in front of their eyes, Linghu Chong felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder and arm, and they had been hit by both knives at the same time.The two suddenly stood still, turned around suddenly, and drew their knives out suddenly. It was like thunder and lightning. Linghu Chong's internal strength is strong and his swordsmanship is superb. This kind of weird skills and strange moves in response to the enemy are still far behind the first-rate masters. He was seriously injured. The saber skills of the two old men were extremely fast, once they succeeded in one move, they followed suit with the second one.Terrified, Linghu Chong hurriedly jumped backwards, fortunately he had great internal strength, with this backward leap, he was already two zhang away, and with another vertical leap, he jumped another two zhang.The two old men were also surprised when they saw that he was still so fast when he was seriously injured, and they jumped on him immediately. Linghu Chong turned around and ran, he didn't feel much pain when he had the saber on his shoulder, but now he was so painful that he almost fainted, thinking: "The cassock these two stole, most of the words written on it are "Sword of Disciplining Evil" I have been unfairly wronged, I will take it back no matter what I say, and return it to Junior Brother Lin." Immediately enduring the pain, he stretched out his hand to draw the long sword. After pulling it out, the long sword was only half out of its sheath, and it couldn't be pulled out. After being stabbed in the right arm, he couldn't use any strength.Hearing the sound of the wind behind his head, the enemy's steel knife was slashing, he immediately raised his breath and jumped forward, pulled hard with his left hand, and broke the belt, then held the long sword in his hand, shook it violently, and dropped the scabbard.Kankan turned around, but felt the cold air hit his face, and the two knives slashed at the same time. He took another step backwards.At that time, the sky will be bright, but the moment before dawn is the darkest, except for the glint of the knife, there is nothing to be seen when you open your eyes.The gist of the Dugu Nine Swords that he learned is to see the flaws in the enemy's moves and take advantage of them. At this time, the enemy's body moves cannot be seen at all, and the swordsmanship cannot be used.He felt another pain in his left arm, which was cut by the enemy's blade, so he had to rush out diagonally to the long street, holding the sword in his left hand, and pressed his fist against the wound on his right shoulder, so as not to bleed too much and fall to the ground. The two old men chased him for a while, seeing that his footsteps were extremely fast, they couldn't catch up with him. Fortunately, they had already obtained the secret manual of the sword technique, and they didn't want to make any troubles, so they stopped immediately and turned back.Linghu Chong shouted: "Hey, brave thief, do you want to escape after stealing something?" Instead, he turned around and chased after him.The two old men were furious, turned around and slashed at him with their knives.Linghu Chong didn't confront them head-on, turned around and fled again, secretly praying in his heart: "It would be good if someone brought a lantern over." After running a few steps, he had an idea, jumped onto the roof, looked around, and saw There was a light in a room, and he rushed to the light.The two old men stopped and did not chase. Linghu Chong leaned over and picked up two tiles, threw them at the two of them, and shouted: "You stole the Lin family's "Sword of Exorcising Evil", one with a bald head and the other with white hair, and fled to the ends of the world. Wan Duan." There was a crackling sound, and the two tiles fell to pieces on the bluestone slabs of the street. When the two old men heard him call out the name of "Sword Manual of Dispelling Evil", they immediately went up to the house and chased after him. Linghu Chong felt that his feet were weak and his strength was getting weaker and weaker. He took a deep breath and ran towards the light for a while. Suddenly he staggered and fell off the roof. He hastily turned over and stood up against the wall. The two old men jumped down lightly and covered them from left and right.The bald old man grinned grinningly and said, "I'll let you live, but you won't go." Linghu Chong saw his bald head shining brightly, and his heart shivered: "So it's dawn." He said with a smile: "Which family and faction are you two from? Why are you willing to kill me?" The white-haired old man slashed down on the top of Linghu Chong's head with one blow. Linghu Chong crossed his right hand with the sword, stabbed lightly, and the tip of the sword pierced his throat. The bald old man was startled, and charged forward with a knife.Linghu Chong cut out his long sword and hit his wrist, cutting off both his knife and his hand. Immediately, the tip of the sword pointed at his throat, and shouted: "What kind of knowledge are you two? Tell me, and I will spare your life." The bald man The old man chuckled, and then said sadly: "My brother traveled wildly in the rivers and lakes, and rarely met an opponent. Today, he died under the sword of Zunjia, admirable. I just don't know Zunjia Gao's name, I died... I will be a fool if I die." Linghu Chong saw that although his arm was broken, he was still high-spirited. He respected him as a man, and said: "I am forced to protect myself. In fact, I have never met the two of you. I am sorry to accidentally hurt someone. That cassock, Your Excellency Give it to me, and let's leave it alone." The bald old man said solemnly: "Is the vulture the one who surrendered?" With a flip of his left hand, a dagger was inserted into his heart. Linghu Chong thought to himself: "This man would rather die than submit, he is a man." He leaned over to take out the cassock from his arms.He felt dizzy for a while, knowing that he had lost too much blood, so he tore off the front of his clothes, randomly tied the wounds on his shoulders and arms, and then took out the cassock from the arms of the bald old man. At this time, I felt dizzy again, and immediately took a few breaths, and after knowing the direction, I walked towards Lin Pingzhi's old house in Xiangyang Lane.After walking several tens of feet, I felt that it was hard to support, and I thought: "If I fall down, not only will my life be lost, but people will say that I stole "Xiexie Sword Manual" after death. ” At the moment, he supported himself strongly and finally walked into Xiangyang Lane. But the gate of the Lin family was closed, Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan were kicked down again, and no one opened the door, so he had no strength to jump over the wall to enter now, so he had to knock on the door a few times, and then kicked the gate. This kick did not kick the door open, and there was a concussion, and he passed out.
After waking up, he felt lying on the bed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yue Buqun and his wife standing in front of the bed. Linghu Chong was overjoyed and shouted: "Master, Master...I..." Feeling so excited, tears rolled down And down, struggling to sit up.Yue Buqun didn't answer, but asked: "But what's going on?" Linghu Chong said: "Where's little junior sister? Is...is she safe and well?" Mrs. Yue said: "It's okay! You...how did you arrive in Fuzhou?" His voice was full of caring, but his eyes couldn't help but turn red. Linghu Chong said: "Junior Brother Lin's "Sword Manual of Resisting Evil" was taken away by two old men. I killed them and snatched them back. Those two...these two are probably good fighters in the Demon Cult." Touching his bosom, the cassock was gone, so he quickly asked: "Then... where is that cassock?" Madam Yue asked: "What?" Spectrum." Mrs. Yue said: "Then this is Pingzhi's property, and he should take care of it." Linghu Chong said: "Exactly. Mistress, are you and Master good? Are all the brothers and sisters also good?" Madam Yue's eyes were red, she raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and said, "Hello everyone." Linghu Chong said: "How did I get here? Did Master or Mistress save me?" Mrs. Yue said: "I went to the old house in Xiangyang Lane in Pingzhi early this morning, and saw you fainted outside the door." Linghu Chong "" Mmm," he said, and said: "It's fortunate that my wife is here, otherwise, if the monsters from the Demon Sect saw her first, the baby would be dead." He knew that his wife must have gotten up early and disappeared from her daughter, so he rushed to Xiangyang Lane to look for it. It's inconvenient to talk to myself. Yue Buqun said: "You said you killed two Demon Cult demons, how do you know they belong to the Demon Cult?" Linghu Chong said: "This disciple came to the south, met many people from the Demon Cult along the way, and moved with them a few times. The martial arts of these two old men are weird, obviously they are not my decent people." I secretly rejoiced: "I took back Junior Brother Lin's "Sword Manual of Dispelling Evil", and Master, Mistress, and Junior Junior Sister will no longer have any doubts about me. ; and I killed these two Demon Cult monsters, Master will no longer blame me for colluding with the Demon Cult." Unexpectedly, Yue Buqun's face turned livid, he snorted, and said sharply: "You are still talking nonsense up to now! Could it be that I am so easily deceived?" Linghu Chong was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The disciple will never dare to lie to the master." Yue Buqun said grimly: "Who is your master now? Yue has long since given up his master-student status with you." Linghu Chong rolled down from the bed, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and said, "I have done a lot of wrong things, and I hope to be punished by Master, but... it is just a punishment of being kicked out of the door and wall. Please, Master take it back." Yue Buqun avoided him, not accepting his big gift, and said coldly: "The lady who is the leader of the Demon Sect has a lot of eyes on you. You have been in collusion with them a long time ago, so what do you need me as a master?" Linghu Chong wondered: "Miss who is the leader of the Demon Sect? Master, I don't know where to start with this? Although I heard that Ren... Ren Woxing has a daughter, but this disciple has never seen her before." Mrs. Yue said: "Chong'er, at this moment, why do you lie anymore?" Sighing, she said: "That Miss Ren gathered heretics from all walks of life to treat you on Wuba Gang in Shandong. We were not the ones that day. Did not go……" Linghu Chong was astonished, and said in a trembling voice: "The girl on Wubagang, she...she... Yingying...is she the daughter of the leader?" Mrs. Yue said, "Get up and talk." Linghu Chong stood up slowly, My heart was at a loss, and I murmured: "She...she is the daughter of the leader? This...where does this really start?" Madam Yue was displeased, and said, "Why do you still lie to Master and Mistress?" Yue Buqun said angrily: "Who is his master or mistress?" He stretched out his hand and hit the table hard, with a bang, a piece of the corner of the table fell off immediately. Linghu Chong panicked and said: "This disciple will never dare to deceive Master and Mistress..." Yue Buqun sternly said: "Yue Mou had no eyes back then, and took you as a shameless child. He is really ashamed of the heroes of the world. Do you want me to bear this stigma forever? If you call 'Master, Master' again, I will immediately I'll kill you!" When he shouted angrily, purple air suddenly appeared on his face, he was really very angry. Linghu Chong replied: "Yes!" Stretching out his hand to support the edge of the bed, his face was bloodless and his body was shaking, he said: "They treat my wounds and illnesses, yes. But...but no one told me about it. , she... is the daughter of the leader." Mrs. Yue said: "You are so clever, how alert, how could you not guess it? She is a young girl, and with just one sentence, she has mobilized the heresies of the three mountains and five mountains. Sister, everyone is vying to treat you. Except Miss Ren from the Demon Sect, who can have such a big face?" Linghu Chong said: "Brother...I...I only knew that she was an old woman " Mrs. Yue said: "Has she changed her face?" Linghu Chong said: "No, it's just... It's just that I didn't see her face at that time." Yue Buqun let out a "ha" laugh, but there was no smile on his face. Mrs. Yue sighed, and said: "Chong'er, your personality has changed as you get older. You don't care about what I say anymore." Linghu Chong said: "Master... Master... I treat you The words of the old man, but... but... really not..." He wanted to say, "I dare not disobey what you say to the old man", but the facts are all there, and his master and his wife repeatedly ordered him not to talk to the demon sect. He made friends with other people, and his relationship with Yingying, Xiang Wentian, and Ren Woxing was not just "friendship"? Mrs. Yue said again: "Even if the daughter of the leader treats you well, you asked her to call someone to treat your illness in order to survive, or there is an excuse..." Yue Buqun said angrily: "What is the excuse?" ? In order to survive, then can you do anything?" He was always polite to this junior sister and wife, and treated her as a real respecter, but today he interrupted her again and again with harsh words, which showed that he was really furious.岳夫人明白丈夫的心情，也不和他计较，继续说道：“但你为什么又和魔教那大魔头向问天勾结在一起，杀害了不少我正派同道？你双手染满了正教人士的鲜血，你……你快快走吧！” 令狐冲背上一阵冰冷，想起那日在凉亭之中，深谷之前，和向问天并肩迎敌，确有不少正教中人因自己而死，虽说当其时恶斗之际，自己若不杀人，便是被杀，委实出于无奈，可是这大笔血债，总是算在自己身上了。 岳夫人道：“在五霸冈下，你又与魔教的任小姐联手，杀害了好几个少林派和昆仑派弟子。冲儿，我从前视你有如我的亲儿，但事到如今，你……你师娘无能，可再没法子庇护你了。”说到这里，两行泪水从面颊上直流下来。 令狐冲黯然道：“孩儿确是做了错事，罪不可赦。但一人做事一身当，决不能让华山派名头蒙污。请两位老人家大开法堂，邀集各家各派英雄与会，将孩儿当场处决，以正华山派的门规便是。” 岳不群长叹一声，说道：“令狐师傅，你今日倘若仍是我华山派门下弟子，此举原也使得。你性命虽亡，我华山派清名得保，你我师徒之情尚在。可是我早已传书天下，将你逐出门墙。你此后的所作所为，与我华山派何涉？我又有什么身分来处置你？嘿嘿，正邪势不两立，下次你再为非作歹，撞在我手里，妖孽奸贼，人人得而诛之，那就容你不得了。”
正说到这里，房外一人叫道：“师父、师娘。”却是劳德诺。岳不群问道：“怎么？”劳德诺道：“外面有人拜访师父、师娘，说道是嵩山派的钟镇，还有他的两个师弟。”岳不群道：“九曲剑钟镇，他也来福建了吗？好，我便出来。”径自出房。 岳夫人向令狐冲瞧了一眼，眼色中充满了柔情，似是叫他稍待，回头尚有话说，跟着走了出去。 令狐冲自幼对师娘便如与母亲无异，见她对自己爱怜，心中懊悔已极，寻思：“种种情事，总是怪我行事任性，是非善恶，不辨别清楚。向大哥明明不是正人君子，我怎地不问情由，上前便帮他打架？我一死不足惜，可叫师父、师娘没脸见人。华山派门中出了这样一个不肖弟子，连众师弟、师妹们也都脸上少了光彩。” 又想：“原来盈盈是任教主的女儿，怪不得老头子、祖千秋他们对她如此尊崇。她随口一句话，便将许多江湖豪士充军到东海荒岛，七八年不得回归中原。唉，我原该想到才是。武林之中，除了魔教的大头脑，又有谁能有这等权势？可是她和我在一起之时，扭扭捏捏，娇羞腼腆，比之小师妹尚且胜了三分，又怎想得到她竟是魔教中的大人物？然而那时任教主尚给东方不败囚在西湖底下，他的女儿又怎会有偌大权势？” 正自思涌如潮，起伏不定，忽听得脚步声细碎，一人闪进房来，正是他日思夜想、念兹在兹的小师妹。令狐冲叫道：“小师妹！你……”下面的话便接不下去了。岳灵珊道：“大师哥，快……快离开这儿，嵩山派的人找你晦气来啦。”语气甚是焦急。 令狐冲只一见到她，天大的事也都置之脑后，什么嵩山派不嵩山派，压根儿便没放在心上，双眼怔怔地瞧她，一时甜、酸、苦、辣，诸般滋味尽皆涌向心头。 岳灵珊见他目不转睛地望着自己，脸上微微一红，说道：“有个什么姓钟的，带着两个师弟，说你杀了他们嵩山派的人，一直追寻到这儿来。” 令狐冲一呆，茫然道：“我杀了嵩山派的人？没有啊。” 突然间砰的一声，房门推开，岳不群怒容满脸走了进来，厉声道：“令狐冲，你干的好事！你杀了嵩山派属下的武林前辈，却说是魔教妖人，欺瞒于我。”令狐冲奇道：“弟……我……我杀了嵩山派属下的武林前辈？我……我没有……” 岳不群怒道：“'白头仙翁'卜沉，'秃鹰'沙天江，这两人可是你杀的？” 令狐冲听到这二人的外号，记起那秃顶老者自杀之时，曾说过“秃鹰岂是投降之人”这句话，那么另一个白发老者，便是什么“白头仙翁”卜沉了，便道：“一个白头发的老人，一个秃头老者，那确是我杀的。我……我可不知他们是嵩山派门下。他们使的是单刀，全不是嵩山派武功。”岳不群神色愈是严峻，问道：“那么这两个人，确是你杀的？”令狐冲道：“正是。” 岳灵珊道：“爹，那个白头发和那秃顶的老头儿……”岳不群喝道：“出去！谁叫你进来的？我在这里说话，要你插什么嘴？”岳灵珊低下了头，慢慢走到房门口。 令狐冲心下一阵凄凉，一阵欢喜：“师妹虽和林师弟要好，毕竟对我仍有情谊。她甘冒父亲申斥，前来向我示警，要我尽速避祸。” 岳不群冷笑道：“五岳剑派各派的武功，你都明白么？这卜沙二人出于嵩山派的旁支，你心存不规，不知用什么卑鄙手段害死了他们，却将血迹带到了向阳巷平之的老宅。嵩山派一查，便跟着查到了这里。眼下嵩山派的钟师兄便在外面，向我要人，你有什么话说？” 岳夫人走进房来，说道：“他们又没亲眼见到是冲儿杀的？单凭几行血迹，也不能认定是咱们镖局中人杀的。咱们给他们推个一干二净便是了。” 岳不群怒道：“师妹，到了这时候，你还要包庇这无恶不作的无赖子。我堂堂华山派掌门，岂能为了这小畜生而说谎？你……你……咱们这么干，非搞到身败名裂不可。” 令狐冲这几年来，常想师父、师娘是师兄妹而结成眷属，自己若能和小师妹也有这么一天，那当真万事俱足，更无他求，此刻见师父对师娘说话，竟如此的声色俱厉，心中忽想：“倘若小师妹是我妻子，她要干什么，我便由得她干什么，是好事也罢，是坏事也罢，我决不会有半点拂逆她的意愿。她便要我去干十恶不赦的大坏事，我也不会皱一皱眉头。” 岳不群双目盯在令狐冲脸上，忽然见他脸露温柔微笑，目光含情，射向站在房门口的女儿，怒喝：“小畜生，在这当儿，你心中还在打坏主意么？” 岳不群这一声大喝，登时叫令狐冲从胡思乱想中醒觉过来，一抬头，只见师父脸上紫气隐隐，手掌提起，便要往自己头顶击落，突然间感到一阵说不出的欢喜，只觉在这世上委实苦涩无味之极，今日死在师父掌底，那是痛痛快快的解脱，尤其小师妹在旁，看着自己给他父亲一掌劈死，更是自己全心所企求之事。他微微一笑，目光向岳灵珊瞧去，只待师父挥掌打落。 但觉脑顶风生，岳不群右掌劈将下来，却听得岳夫人叫道：“使不得！”手指便往丈夫后脑“玉枕穴”上点去。他二人自幼同门学艺，相互拆招，已熟极而流，岳夫人这一指所点之处，乃致命要穴，岳不群自然而然回掌拆格。岳夫人已闪身挡在令狐冲身前。 岳不群脸色铁青，怒道：“你……你干什么？”岳夫人急叫：“冲儿，快走！快走！”令狐冲摇头道：“我不走，师父要杀我，便杀好了。我是罪有应得。”岳夫人顿足道：“有我在这里，他杀不了你的，快走，走得远远的，永远别再回来。” 岳不群道：“哼，他一走了之，外面厅上嵩山派那三人，咱们又如何对付？” 令狐冲心道：“原来师父担心应付不了钟镇他们，我可须先得去替他打发了。”朗声道：“好，我去见见他们。”说着大踏步往外走去，岳夫人叫道：“去不得，他们会杀了你的。”令狐冲走得极快，立时已冲入了大厅。 果见嵩山派的九曲剑钟镇、神鞭滕八公、锦毛狮高克新三人大剌剌地坐在西首宾位。令狐冲往对面的太师椅中一坐，冷冷地道：“你们三个，到这里干什么来了？” 此刻令狐冲身上穿着店小二衣衫，除去虬髯，与廿八铺客店中夜间相逢时的参将模样已全不相同。钟镇等三人突然见到这样一个满身血迹的市井少年如此无礼，都不禁勃然大怒。高克新喝道：“你是什么东西？”令狐冲笑道：“你们三个，是什么南北？”高克新一怔，心想：“怎叫做'是什么南北'？”但想那定然不是什么好话，怒道：“快去请岳先生出来！凭你也配跟我们说话？” 这时岳不群、岳夫人、岳灵珊以及华山派众弟子都已到了屏门之后，听着令狐冲跟这三人对答。岳灵珊听他问“你们三个是什么南北？”不由得好笑，但知眼前这三人都是嵩山派好手，大师哥杀了他们的人，又对他们如此无礼，待会定要动手，未免凶多吉少，而父亲、母亲看来决不会插手相助，可不知如何是好，心中一发愁，便笑不出来。 令狐冲道：“岳先生是谁？啊，你说的是华山派掌门。我正来寻他的晦气。嵩山派有两个不肖之徒，一个叫什么白头妖翁卜沉，一个叫秃枭沙天江，半夜里去抢人家的《辟邪剑派》，还点了年轻人的穴道，不怀好意。我要救人，便将这两个家伙杀了。听说嵩山派还有三个家伙，躲在福威镖局之中。我要岳先生交出人来，岳先生却是不肯。气死我也，气死我也！”跟着纵声大叫：“岳先生，嵩山派有三个无聊家伙，一个叫烂铁剑钟镇，一个叫小鬼滕八婆，还有一个癞皮猫高克新。请你快快交出人来，我要跟他们算账。你想包庇他们，那可不成！你们五岳剑派，同气连枝，我可不卖这个账！” 岳不群等听了，无不骇然，均知他如此叫嚷，是要表明华山派与杀人之事无关。可是嵩山派这三人成名已久，那九曲剑钟镇更加了得，在“嵩山十三太保”中排名甚高，听令狐冲所嚷的言语，显已知钟镇等三人的来历。那日夜战，他打败剑宗封不平，刺瞎十五名江湖好手的双眼，剑法确是非同小可，但他此刻受伤极重，只怕再站立一会便会倒下，何以这等胆大妄为，贸然向人挑衅？ 高克新大怒跃起，长剑出鞘，便要向令狐冲刺出。钟镇举手拦住，向令狐冲问道：“尊驾是谁？” 令狐冲道：“哈哈，我认得你，你却不认得我。你们嵩山派想将五岳剑派合而为一，由你嵩山吞并其余四派。你们三个南北来到福建，一来是要抢夺林家的《辟邪剑谱》，二来是要戕害华山、恒山各派的重要人物。种种阴谋，可全给我知悉了。只怕是徒劳无功，到头一场空。嘿嘿，好笑啊好笑！” 岳不群和岳夫人对瞧了一眼，均想：“他这话倒未必全是无稽之谈。” 钟镇脸有惊疑之色，问道：“尊驾是哪一派的人物？” 令狐冲道：“我大庙不收，小庙不受，是个无主孤魂，荒山野鬼，决不会来抢你们嵩山派的生意，你这可放心了吧？哈哈，哈哈。”笑声中充满了凄凉之意。 钟镇道：“尊驾既非华山派人物，咱们可不能骚扰了岳先生，这就借步到外面说话。”这几句话语调平淡，但目露凶光，充满了杀机，显是令狐冲揭了他的底，已决心诛却。他对岳不群毕竟有所忌惮，不敢在福威镖局中拔剑杀人，要将令狐冲引到镖局之外再行动手。 这句话正合令狐冲心意，大声叫道：“岳先生，你今后可得多加提防。魔教教主任我行复出，此人身有吸星大法，专吸旁人内功，他说要跟华山派为难。还有，嵩山派想并吞你华山派。你是彬彬君子，人家的狼心狗肺，却不可不防。”他此番来到福州，为的便是要向师父说这几句话，说罢便即大踏步出门。钟镇等跟了出来。
令狐冲迈步走出福威镖局，只见一群尼姑、妇女站在大门外，正是恒山派那批女弟子。仪和与郑萼二人手持拜盒，走在最前，当是到镖局来拜会岳不群和岳夫人。令狐冲一怔，急忙转头，不让她们见到，但已跟仪和她们打了个照面，好在仪琳远远在后，没见到他面目。 钟镇等三人出来时，郑萼却认得他们，不禁一怔，停住了脚步。 令狐冲心想：“恒山派弟子既知我师父在此，自当前来拜会，有我师父、师娘照料，她们也不会吃亏了。”他不愿给仪琳见到，斜刺里便欲溜走。 钟镇、滕八公、高克新同时兵刃出手，拦在他面前，喝道：“你还想逃吗？” 令狐冲笑道：“我没兵器，怎生打法？” 这时岳不群、岳夫人和华山派众弟子都来到门前，要看令狐冲如何对付钟镇等三人。岳灵珊拔剑出鞘，叫道：“大……”想将长剑掷过去给他。岳不群左手两指伸出，搭在她剑刃之上，摇了摇头。岳灵珊急道：“爹！”岳不群又摇了摇头。 这一切全瞧在令狐冲眼里，心中大慰：“小师妹对我，毕竟还有昔日之情。” 突然之间，好几人齐声惊呼。 令狐冲情知必是有人偷袭，不及回头，立即向前急纵而出。他内力奇厚，这一跃既高且速，但饶是如此，只觉脑后生风，一剑在背后直劈而下，刚才这一跃只须慢得刹那，又或力道不足，跃得近了半尺，身子已给人劈成两半，当真凶险已极。 他站定后立即回头，但听得一声呼叱，白光闪动。恒山派女弟子同时出手。七人一队，分成三队，七柄长剑指住一人，将钟镇等三人分别围住。这一下拔剑、移步、围敌、出招，动作迅捷无比，加之身法轻盈，姿式美观，显是习练有素的阵法。每柄长剑剑尖指住对方一处要害，头、喉、胸、腹、腰、背、胁，每人身上七处要害，均给一柄长剑指住。阵法既成，七名女弟子便不再动。 适才出手向令狐冲偷袭的，便是钟镇。听得令狐冲的言语对嵩山派甚是不利，当即乘其不备，忽施杀手，意欲尽速灭口，以免他多嘴多舌，更增岳不群的疑心。他出手固然极毒，却还是让对方避了开去，而恒山派众女弟子剑阵一成，他武功虽强，可也半点动弹不得，四肢百骸，只须哪里动上一动，料想便有一柄剑刺将过来。 原来恒山群弟子早已从郑萼、仪琳口中，得知钟镇等三人如何乘人之危，在廿八铺逼迫定静师太同意五派合并之议，都心中有气，此时得郑萼示知，又见钟镇偷袭伤人，当即使动剑阵，将嵩山派三人围住。 岳不群、岳夫人自不知恒山派与钟镇等在廿八铺中曾有一番过节，突见双方动手，都大为惊奇，眼见恒山派众女弟子所结剑阵甚是奇妙，二十一人分成三堆，除了衣袖衫角在风中飘动之外，二十一柄长剑寒光闪闪，竟皆纹丝不动，其中却蕴藏着无限杀机。 令狐冲但见恒山剑阵凝式不动，七柄剑既攻敌，复自守，七剑连环，绝无破绽可寻，宛然有独孤九剑“以无招破有招”之妙诣，气喘吁吁地喝采：“妙极！这剑阵精彩之至！” 钟镇眼见受制，当即哈哈一笑，说道：“大家是自己人，开什么玩笑？我认输了，好不好？”当的一声，掷剑下地。围住他的七人以仪和为首，见对方掷剑认输，当即长剑一抖，收了转去，其余六人跟着收剑。不料钟镇左足足尖在地下长剑剑身上一点，那剑猛地跳起。钟镇手指尖一碰剑柄，剑锋如电，蓦地刺出。 仪和“啊”的一声惊呼，右臂中剑，手中长剑呛啷落地。钟镇长笑声中，寒光连闪，恒山派众弟子纷纷受伤。这么一乱，其余两个剑阵中的十四名女弟子心神稍分，滕八公和高克新同时乘隙发动，登时兵刃相交，铮铮之声大作。 令狐冲抢起仪和掉在地下的长剑，挥剑击出。但听得呛啷、啊、嘿，几下声响，高克新手腕受击，长剑落地。滕八公的软鞭倒了转来，圈在自己头颈之中。钟镇手腕给剑背击中，退了几步，长剑总算还握在手中，但整条手臂已酸软无力。 两个少女同时尖声叫了起来，一个叫：“吴将军！”一个叫：“令狐师兄！” 叫“吴将军”的是郑萼。适才令狐冲击退三人所使手法，与在廿八铺客店中对付这三人时所用剑招一模一样，连高克新茫然失措、滕八公险些窒息、钟镇又惊又怒的神情也殊无二致。郑萼心思机敏，当日曾见令狐冲如此出招，他容貌衣饰虽已大变，还是立即认了出来。另一个叫“令狐师兄”的却是仪琳。她本来和仪真、仪质等六位师姊结成剑阵，围住了滕八公。每人全神贯注，双目盯住敌人，绝不斜视，目中所见，仅只他身上一处要害，视头则只见其头，视胸则只见其胸，连敌人别处肢体都没瞧见，自然更加没见到旁人，直至剑阵散开，她才见到令狐冲。暌别经年，陡然相遇，仪琳全身大震，险些晕去。 令狐冲真相既显，眼见已无法隐瞒，笑道：“你奶奶的，你这三个家伙太也不识好歹，恒山派众位师太饶了你们一命，你们居然恩将仇报。本将军可实在太瞧着不顺眼了。我……我……”说到这里，突然脑中晕眩，眼前发黑，咕咚倒地。 仪琳抢上扶起，急叫：“令狐师兄，令狐师兄！”只见他肩头、臂上血如泉涌，忙卷起他衣袖，取出本门治伤灵药白云熊胆丸塞入他口中。郑萼、仪真等取过天香断续胶为他搽上伤口。恒山派众女弟子个个感念他救援之德，当日若不是他出手相救，人人都已死于非命，不但惨死，说不定还会受贼子污辱，是以递药的递药，抹血的抹血，包扎的包扎，便在这长街之上尽心救治。天下女子遇到这等紧急事态，自不免叽叽喳喳，七嘴八舌，围住了议论不休。恒山派众女弟子虽是武学之士，却也难免，或发叹息，或示关心，或问何人伤我将军，或曰凶手狠毒无情，言语纷纭，且杂“阿弥陀佛”之声。 华山派众人见到这等情景，尽皆诧异。 岳不群心想：“恒山派向来戒律精严，这些女弟子却不知如何，竟给令狐冲这无行浪子迷得七颠八倒，在众目睽睽之下，不避男女之嫌，叫师兄的叫师兄，呼将军的呼将军。这小贼几时又做过将军了？当真昏天黑地，一塌糊涂。怎地恒山派的前辈也不管管？”
He just said these two words, the two people who were hiding outside the window quietly walked around to the door, pushed the door open and entered.Lin Pingzhi yelled: "Who is it?" The two rushed straight through the door like the wind.Lin Pingzhi raised his hands to parry, but someone was pointing him out under his threat.Yue Lingshan's long sword was only half drawn, and the enemy's two fingers had pierced her eyes, Yue Lingshan had no choice but to let go of the hilt of the sword and raise her hand to block it.The man scratched three times with his right hand, all pointing at her throat.Yue Lingshan was terrified, she took two steps back, her back was leaning against the edge of the altar, and she couldn't move any further.The man's left hand fell towards her Tianling Gai, Yue Lingshan's palms struck, unexpectedly the man's palm was a false move, the right hand pointed out, Yue Lingshan leaned on the altar with the middle finger on her left waist, and could no longer move. Linghu Chong saw all this. Seeing that Lin Yue and Lin Yue were not in danger for their lives at the moment, he thought he would not rush to save them, and let's see who the enemy is.I saw these two people looking around in the middle of the Buddhist hall, one lifted the underground futon and tore it in half, the other slapped the wooden fish into seven or eight pieces.Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan could neither speak nor move. Seeing that their palms were as strong as knives, tearing futons and smashing wooden fish, they obviously came to look for the "Sword Manual of Resisting Evil" and thought: "Why didn't I expect the sword manual?" Maybe it's hidden in the futon and wooden fish." Seeing that there was nothing hidden in the futon and wooden fish, they were all overjoyed. Both of them were in their fifties, one was bald and the other had gray hair.The two moved swiftly, smashing the altar tables and other objects in the Buddhist hall one by one in an instant; until there was nothing to break, both of them looked at the portrait of Patriarch Bodhidharma.The bald old man stretched out his left hand and grabbed the portrait.The white-haired old man stretched out his hand and shouted: "Wait a minute, look at his fingers!" Linghu Chong, Lin Pingzhi, and Yue Lingshan all looked at the portrait, but in the picture, Bodhidharma put his left hand behind his back, as if he was holding a sword formula, and his right index finger pointed to the roof.The bald old man asked: "What's so weird about his fingers?" The white-haired old man said: "I don't know! Let's try it." He straightened his body, pointed his palms at the point where Bodhidharma's index finger was pointing in the picture, and exerted strength in his palms. , hitting the roof. With a bang, the mud, sand and dust fell down.The bald old man said: "What is there..." After only four words, a ball of red material floated down from the hole in the roof, but it was a cassock worn by a monk. The white-haired old man stretched out his hand to catch it, illuminated by the candlelight, and said happily, "It's...here." He was so overjoyed that his voice trembled.The bald old man said: "What?" The white-haired old man said: "Look!" Linghu Chong stared, and saw that the cassock seemed to be covered with countless small characters. The bald old man said: "Could this be the "Sword Manual of Dispelling Evil"?" The white-haired old man said: "Nine times out of ten, it should be the sword manual. Haha, the two of us made such a great contribution today. Brother, put it away. "The bald old man was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He folded the cassock carefully, put it in his arms, pointed to Lin Yue and Lin Yue with his left hand, and said, "Are you dead?" Holding the sword hilt in his hand, Linghu Chong waited for the white-haired old man to reveal his intention to kill Lin Yue and the two of them, so he immediately rushed in and killed the two old men first.Unexpectedly, the white-haired old man said: "Since the sword manual has been obtained, there is no need to form a deep enmity with the Huashan sect, let them go." The two walked out of the Buddhist hall side by side and over the wall. Linghu Chong jumped out of the wall and followed behind.The two old men walked very quickly.Linghu Chong was afraid that he would lose the two of them in the dark, so he quickened his pace, and the distance between them was only thirty feet away. The two old men were in a hurry, so Linghu Chong also quickened his pace.All of a sudden, the two old men stopped abruptly, turned around, a cold light flashed in front of their eyes, Linghu Chong felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder and arm, and they had been hit by both knives at the same time.The two suddenly stood still, turned around suddenly, and drew their knives out suddenly. It was like thunder and lightning. Linghu Chong's internal strength is strong and his swordsmanship is superb. This kind of weird skills and strange moves in response to the enemy are still far behind the first-rate masters. He was seriously injured. The saber skills of the two old men were extremely fast, once they succeeded in one move, they followed suit with the second one.Terrified, Linghu Chong hurriedly jumped backwards, fortunately he had great internal strength, with this backward leap, he was already two zhang away, and with another vertical leap, he jumped another two zhang.The two old men were also surprised when they saw that he was still so fast when he was seriously injured, and they jumped on him immediately. Linghu Chong turned around and ran, he didn't feel much pain when he had the saber on his shoulder, but now he was so painful that he almost fainted, thinking: "The cassock these two stole, most of the words written on it are "Sword of Disciplining Evil" I have been unfairly wronged, I will take it back no matter what I say, and return it to Junior Brother Lin." Immediately enduring the pain, he stretched out his hand to draw the long sword. After pulling it out, the long sword was only half out of its sheath, and it couldn't be pulled out. After being stabbed in the right arm, he couldn't use any strength.Hearing the sound of the wind behind his head, the enemy's steel knife was slashing, he immediately raised his breath and jumped forward, pulled hard with his left hand, and broke the belt, then held the long sword in his hand, shook it violently, and dropped the scabbard.Kankan turned around, but felt the cold air hit his face, and the two knives slashed at the same time. He took another step backwards.At that time, the sky will be bright, but the moment before dawn is the darkest, except for the glint of the knife, there is nothing to be seen when you open your eyes.The gist of the Dugu Nine Swords that he learned is to see the flaws in the enemy's moves and take advantage of them. At this time, the enemy's body moves cannot be seen at all, and the swordsmanship cannot be used.He felt another pain in his left arm, which was cut by the enemy's blade, so he had to rush out diagonally to the long street, holding the sword in his left hand, and pressed his fist against the wound on his right shoulder, so as not to bleed too much and fall to the ground. The two old men chased him for a while, seeing that his footsteps were extremely fast, they couldn't catch up with him. Fortunately, they had already obtained the secret manual of the sword technique, and they didn't want to make any troubles, so they stopped immediately and turned back.Linghu Chong shouted: "Hey, brave thief, do you want to escape after stealing something?" Instead, he turned around and chased after him.The two old men were furious, turned around and slashed at him with their knives.Linghu Chong didn't confront them head-on, turned around and fled again, secretly praying in his heart: "It would be good if someone brought a lantern over." After running a few steps, he had an idea, jumped onto the roof, looked around, and saw There was a light in a room, and he rushed to the light.The two old men stopped and did not chase. Linghu Chong leaned over and picked up two tiles, threw them at the two of them, and shouted: "You stole the Lin family's "Sword of Exorcising Evil", one with a bald head and the other with white hair, and fled to the ends of the world. Wan Duan." There was a crackling sound, and the two tiles fell to pieces on the bluestone slabs of the street. When the two old men heard him call out the name of "Sword Manual of Dispelling Evil", they immediately went up to the house and chased after him. Linghu Chong felt that his feet were weak and his strength was getting weaker and weaker. He took a deep breath and ran towards the light for a while. Suddenly he staggered and fell off the roof. He hastily turned over and stood up against the wall. The two old men jumped down lightly and covered them from left and right.The bald old man grinned grinningly and said, "I'll let you live, but you won't go." Linghu Chong saw his bald head shining brightly, and his heart shivered: "So it's dawn." He said with a smile: "Which family and faction are you two from? Why are you willing to kill me?" The white-haired old man slashed down on the top of Linghu Chong's head with one blow. Linghu Chong crossed his right hand with the sword, stabbed lightly, and the tip of the sword pierced his throat. The bald old man was startled, and charged forward with a knife.Linghu Chong cut out his long sword and hit his wrist, cutting off both his knife and his hand. Immediately, the tip of the sword pointed at his throat, and shouted: "What kind of knowledge are you two? Tell me, and I will spare your life." The bald man The old man chuckled, and then said sadly: "My brother traveled wildly in the rivers and lakes, and rarely met an opponent. Today, he died under the sword of Zunjia, admirable. I just don't know Zunjia Gao's name, I died... I will be a fool if I die." Linghu Chong saw that although his arm was broken, he was still high-spirited. He respected him as a man, and said: "I am forced to protect myself. In fact, I have never met the two of you. I am sorry to accidentally hurt someone. That cassock, Your Excellency Give it to me, and let's leave it alone." The bald old man said solemnly: "Is the vulture the one who surrendered?" With a flip of his left hand, a dagger was inserted into his heart. Linghu Chong thought to himself: "This man would rather die than submit, he is a man." He leaned over to take out the cassock from his arms.He felt dizzy for a while, knowing that he had lost too much blood, so he tore off the front of his clothes, randomly tied the wounds on his shoulders and arms, and then took out the cassock from the arms of the bald old man. At this time, I felt dizzy again, and immediately took a few breaths, and after knowing the direction, I walked towards Lin Pingzhi's old house in Xiangyang Lane.After walking several tens of feet, I felt that it was hard to support, and I thought: "If I fall down, not only will my life be lost, but people will say that I stole "Xiexie Sword Manual" after death. ” At the moment, he supported himself strongly and finally walked into Xiangyang Lane. But the gate of the Lin family was closed, Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan were kicked down again, and no one opened the door, so he had no strength to jump over the wall to enter now, so he had to knock on the door a few times, and then kicked the gate. This kick did not kick the door open, and there was a concussion, and he passed out.
After waking up, he felt lying on the bed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yue Buqun and his wife standing in front of the bed. Linghu Chong was overjoyed and shouted: "Master, Master...I..." Feeling so excited, tears rolled down And down, struggling to sit up.Yue Buqun didn't answer, but asked: "But what's going on?" Linghu Chong said: "Where's little junior sister? Is...is she safe and well?" Mrs. Yue said: "It's okay! You...how did you arrive in Fuzhou?" His voice was full of caring, but his eyes couldn't help but turn red. Linghu Chong said: "Junior Brother Lin's "Sword Manual of Resisting Evil" was taken away by two old men. I killed them and snatched them back. Those two...these two are probably good fighters in the Demon Cult." Touching his bosom, the cassock was gone, so he quickly asked: "Then... where is that cassock?" Madam Yue asked: "What?" Spectrum." Mrs. Yue said: "Then this is Pingzhi's property, and he should take care of it." Linghu Chong said: "Exactly. Mistress, are you and Master good? Are all the brothers and sisters also good?" Madam Yue's eyes were red, she raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and said, "Hello everyone." Linghu Chong said: "How did I get here? Did Master or Mistress save me?" Mrs. Yue said: "I went to the old house in Xiangyang Lane in Pingzhi early this morning, and saw you fainted outside the door." Linghu Chong "" Mmm," he said, and said: "It's fortunate that my wife is here, otherwise, if the monsters from the Demon Sect saw her first, the baby would be dead." He knew that his wife must have gotten up early and disappeared from her daughter, so he rushed to Xiangyang Lane to look for it. It's inconvenient to talk to myself. Yue Buqun said: "You said you killed two Demon Cult demons, how do you know they belong to the Demon Cult?" Linghu Chong said: "This disciple came to the south, met many people from the Demon Cult along the way, and moved with them a few times. The martial arts of these two old men are weird, obviously they are not my decent people." I secretly rejoiced: "I took back Junior Brother Lin's "Sword Manual of Dispelling Evil", and Master, Mistress, and Junior Junior Sister will no longer have any doubts about me. ; and I killed these two Demon Cult monsters, Master will no longer blame me for colluding with the Demon Cult." Unexpectedly, Yue Buqun's face turned livid, he snorted, and said sharply: "You are still talking nonsense up to now! Could it be that I am so easily deceived?" Linghu Chong was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The disciple will never dare to lie to the master." Yue Buqun said grimly: "Who is your master now? Yue has long since given up his master-student status with you." Linghu Chong rolled down from the bed, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and said, "I have done a lot of wrong things, and I hope to be punished by Master, but... it is just a punishment of being kicked out of the door and wall. Please, Master take it back." Yue Buqun avoided him, not accepting his big gift, and said coldly: "The lady who is the leader of the Demon Sect has a lot of eyes on you. You have been in collusion with them a long time ago, so what do you need me as a master?" Linghu Chong wondered: "Miss who is the leader of the Demon Sect? Master, I don't know where to start with this? Although I heard that Ren... Ren Woxing has a daughter, but this disciple has never seen her before." Mrs. Yue said: "Chong'er, at this moment, why do you lie anymore?" Sighing, she said: "That Miss Ren gathered heretics from all walks of life to treat you on Wuba Gang in Shandong. We were not the ones that day. Did not go……" Linghu Chong was astonished, and said in a trembling voice: "The girl on Wubagang, she...she... Yingying...is she the daughter of the leader?" Mrs. Yue said, "Get up and talk." Linghu Chong stood up slowly, My heart was at a loss, and I murmured: "She...she is the daughter of the leader? This...where does this really start?" Madam Yue was displeased, and said, "Why do you still lie to Master and Mistress?" Yue Buqun said angrily: "Who is his master or mistress?" He stretched out his hand and hit the table hard, with a bang, a piece of the corner of the table fell off immediately. Linghu Chong panicked and said: "This disciple will never dare to deceive Master and Mistress..." Yue Buqun sternly said: "Yue Mou had no eyes back then, and took you as a shameless child. He is really ashamed of the heroes of the world. Do you want me to bear this stigma forever? If you call 'Master, Master' again, I will immediately I'll kill you!" When he shouted angrily, purple air suddenly appeared on his face, he was really very angry. Linghu Chong replied: "Yes!" Stretching out his hand to support the edge of the bed, his face was bloodless and his body was shaking, he said: "They treat my wounds and illnesses, yes. But...but no one told me about it. , she... is the daughter of the leader." Mrs. Yue said: "You are so clever, how alert, how could you not guess it? She is a young girl, and with just one sentence, she has mobilized the heresies of the three mountains and five mountains. Sister, everyone is vying to treat you. Except Miss Ren from the Demon Sect, who can have such a big face?" Linghu Chong said: "Brother...I...I only knew that she was an old woman " Mrs. Yue said: "Has she changed her face?" Linghu Chong said: "No, it's just... It's just that I didn't see her face at that time." Yue Buqun let out a "ha" laugh, but there was no smile on his face. Mrs. Yue sighed, and said: "Chong'er, your personality has changed as you get older. You don't care about what I say anymore." Linghu Chong said: "Master... Master... I treat you The words of the old man, but... but... really not..." He wanted to say, "I dare not disobey what you say to the old man", but the facts are all there, and his master and his wife repeatedly ordered him not to talk to the demon sect. He made friends with other people, and his relationship with Yingying, Xiang Wentian, and Ren Woxing was not just "friendship"? Mrs. Yue said again: "Even if the daughter of the leader treats you well, you asked her to call someone to treat your illness in order to survive, or there is an excuse..." Yue Buqun said angrily: "What is the excuse?" ? In order to survive, then can you do anything?" He was always polite to this junior sister and wife, and treated her as a real respecter, but today he interrupted her again and again with harsh words, which showed that he was really furious.岳夫人明白丈夫的心情，也不和他计较，继续说道：“但你为什么又和魔教那大魔头向问天勾结在一起，杀害了不少我正派同道？你双手染满了正教人士的鲜血，你……你快快走吧！” 令狐冲背上一阵冰冷，想起那日在凉亭之中，深谷之前，和向问天并肩迎敌，确有不少正教中人因自己而死，虽说当其时恶斗之际，自己若不杀人，便是被杀，委实出于无奈，可是这大笔血债，总是算在自己身上了。 岳夫人道：“在五霸冈下，你又与魔教的任小姐联手，杀害了好几个少林派和昆仑派弟子。冲儿，我从前视你有如我的亲儿，但事到如今，你……你师娘无能，可再没法子庇护你了。”说到这里，两行泪水从面颊上直流下来。 令狐冲黯然道：“孩儿确是做了错事，罪不可赦。但一人做事一身当，决不能让华山派名头蒙污。请两位老人家大开法堂，邀集各家各派英雄与会，将孩儿当场处决，以正华山派的门规便是。” 岳不群长叹一声，说道：“令狐师傅，你今日倘若仍是我华山派门下弟子，此举原也使得。你性命虽亡，我华山派清名得保，你我师徒之情尚在。可是我早已传书天下，将你逐出门墙。你此后的所作所为，与我华山派何涉？我又有什么身分来处置你？嘿嘿，正邪势不两立，下次你再为非作歹，撞在我手里，妖孽奸贼，人人得而诛之，那就容你不得了。”
正说到这里，房外一人叫道：“师父、师娘。”却是劳德诺。岳不群问道：“怎么？”劳德诺道：“外面有人拜访师父、师娘，说道是嵩山派的钟镇，还有他的两个师弟。”岳不群道：“九曲剑钟镇，他也来福建了吗？好，我便出来。”径自出房。 岳夫人向令狐冲瞧了一眼，眼色中充满了柔情，似是叫他稍待，回头尚有话说，跟着走了出去。 令狐冲自幼对师娘便如与母亲无异，见她对自己爱怜，心中懊悔已极，寻思：“种种情事，总是怪我行事任性，是非善恶，不辨别清楚。向大哥明明不是正人君子，我怎地不问情由，上前便帮他打架？我一死不足惜，可叫师父、师娘没脸见人。华山派门中出了这样一个不肖弟子，连众师弟、师妹们也都脸上少了光彩。” 又想：“原来盈盈是任教主的女儿，怪不得老头子、祖千秋他们对她如此尊崇。她随口一句话，便将许多江湖豪士充军到东海荒岛，七八年不得回归中原。唉，我原该想到才是。武林之中，除了魔教的大头脑，又有谁能有这等权势？可是她和我在一起之时，扭扭捏捏，娇羞腼腆，比之小师妹尚且胜了三分，又怎想得到她竟是魔教中的大人物？然而那时任教主尚给东方不败囚在西湖底下，他的女儿又怎会有偌大权势？” 正自思涌如潮，起伏不定，忽听得脚步声细碎，一人闪进房来，正是他日思夜想、念兹在兹的小师妹。令狐冲叫道：“小师妹！你……”下面的话便接不下去了。岳灵珊道：“大师哥，快……快离开这儿，嵩山派的人找你晦气来啦。”语气甚是焦急。 令狐冲只一见到她，天大的事也都置之脑后，什么嵩山派不嵩山派，压根儿便没放在心上，双眼怔怔地瞧她，一时甜、酸、苦、辣，诸般滋味尽皆涌向心头。 岳灵珊见他目不转睛地望着自己，脸上微微一红，说道：“有个什么姓钟的，带着两个师弟，说你杀了他们嵩山派的人，一直追寻到这儿来。” 令狐冲一呆，茫然道：“我杀了嵩山派的人？没有啊。” 突然间砰的一声，房门推开，岳不群怒容满脸走了进来，厉声道：“令狐冲，你干的好事！你杀了嵩山派属下的武林前辈，却说是魔教妖人，欺瞒于我。”令狐冲奇道：“弟……我……我杀了嵩山派属下的武林前辈？我……我没有……” 岳不群怒道：“'白头仙翁'卜沉，'秃鹰'沙天江，这两人可是你杀的？” 令狐冲听到这二人的外号，记起那秃顶老者自杀之时，曾说过“秃鹰岂是投降之人”这句话，那么另一个白发老者，便是什么“白头仙翁”卜沉了，便道：“一个白头发的老人，一个秃头老者，那确是我杀的。我……我可不知他们是嵩山派门下。他们使的是单刀，全不是嵩山派武功。”岳不群神色愈是严峻，问道：“那么这两个人，确是你杀的？”令狐冲道：“正是。” 岳灵珊道：“爹，那个白头发和那秃顶的老头儿……”岳不群喝道：“出去！谁叫你进来的？我在这里说话，要你插什么嘴？”岳灵珊低下了头，慢慢走到房门口。 令狐冲心下一阵凄凉，一阵欢喜：“师妹虽和林师弟要好，毕竟对我仍有情谊。她甘冒父亲申斥，前来向我示警，要我尽速避祸。” 岳不群冷笑道：“五岳剑派各派的武功，你都明白么？这卜沙二人出于嵩山派的旁支，你心存不规，不知用什么卑鄙手段害死了他们，却将血迹带到了向阳巷平之的老宅。嵩山派一查，便跟着查到了这里。眼下嵩山派的钟师兄便在外面，向我要人，你有什么话说？” 岳夫人走进房来，说道：“他们又没亲眼见到是冲儿杀的？单凭几行血迹，也不能认定是咱们镖局中人杀的。咱们给他们推个一干二净便是了。” 岳不群怒道：“师妹，到了这时候，你还要包庇这无恶不作的无赖子。我堂堂华山派掌门，岂能为了这小畜生而说谎？你……你……咱们这么干，非搞到身败名裂不可。” 令狐冲这几年来，常想师父、师娘是师兄妹而结成眷属，自己若能和小师妹也有这么一天，那当真万事俱足，更无他求，此刻见师父对师娘说话，竟如此的声色俱厉，心中忽想：“倘若小师妹是我妻子，她要干什么，我便由得她干什么，是好事也罢，是坏事也罢，我决不会有半点拂逆她的意愿。她便要我去干十恶不赦的大坏事，我也不会皱一皱眉头。” 岳不群双目盯在令狐冲脸上，忽然见他脸露温柔微笑，目光含情，射向站在房门口的女儿，怒喝：“小畜生，在这当儿，你心中还在打坏主意么？” 岳不群这一声大喝，登时叫令狐冲从胡思乱想中醒觉过来，一抬头，只见师父脸上紫气隐隐，手掌提起，便要往自己头顶击落，突然间感到一阵说不出的欢喜，只觉在这世上委实苦涩无味之极，今日死在师父掌底，那是痛痛快快的解脱，尤其小师妹在旁，看着自己给他父亲一掌劈死，更是自己全心所企求之事。他微微一笑，目光向岳灵珊瞧去，只待师父挥掌打落。 但觉脑顶风生，岳不群右掌劈将下来，却听得岳夫人叫道：“使不得！”手指便往丈夫后脑“玉枕穴”上点去。他二人自幼同门学艺，相互拆招，已熟极而流，岳夫人这一指所点之处，乃致命要穴，岳不群自然而然回掌拆格。岳夫人已闪身挡在令狐冲身前。 岳不群脸色铁青，怒道：“你……你干什么？”岳夫人急叫：“冲儿，快走！快走！”令狐冲摇头道：“我不走，师父要杀我，便杀好了。我是罪有应得。”岳夫人顿足道：“有我在这里，他杀不了你的，快走，走得远远的，永远别再回来。” 岳不群道：“哼，他一走了之，外面厅上嵩山派那三人，咱们又如何对付？” 令狐冲心道：“原来师父担心应付不了钟镇他们，我可须先得去替他打发了。”朗声道：“好，我去见见他们。”说着大踏步往外走去，岳夫人叫道：“去不得，他们会杀了你的。”令狐冲走得极快，立时已冲入了大厅。 果见嵩山派的九曲剑钟镇、神鞭滕八公、锦毛狮高克新三人大剌剌地坐在西首宾位。令狐冲往对面的太师椅中一坐，冷冷地道：“你们三个，到这里干什么来了？” 此刻令狐冲身上穿着店小二衣衫，除去虬髯，与廿八铺客店中夜间相逢时的参将模样已全不相同。钟镇等三人突然见到这样一个满身血迹的市井少年如此无礼，都不禁勃然大怒。高克新喝道：“你是什么东西？”令狐冲笑道：“你们三个，是什么南北？”高克新一怔，心想：“怎叫做'是什么南北'？”但想那定然不是什么好话，怒道：“快去请岳先生出来！凭你也配跟我们说话？” 这时岳不群、岳夫人、岳灵珊以及华山派众弟子都已到了屏门之后，听着令狐冲跟这三人对答。岳灵珊听他问“你们三个是什么南北？”不由得好笑，但知眼前这三人都是嵩山派好手，大师哥杀了他们的人，又对他们如此无礼，待会定要动手，未免凶多吉少，而父亲、母亲看来决不会插手相助，可不知如何是好，心中一发愁，便笑不出来。 令狐冲道：“岳先生是谁？啊，你说的是华山派掌门。我正来寻他的晦气。嵩山派有两个不肖之徒，一个叫什么白头妖翁卜沉，一个叫秃枭沙天江，半夜里去抢人家的《辟邪剑派》，还点了年轻人的穴道，不怀好意。我要救人，便将这两个家伙杀了。听说嵩山派还有三个家伙，躲在福威镖局之中。我要岳先生交出人来，岳先生却是不肯。气死我也，气死我也！”跟着纵声大叫：“岳先生，嵩山派有三个无聊家伙，一个叫烂铁剑钟镇，一个叫小鬼滕八婆，还有一个癞皮猫高克新。请你快快交出人来，我要跟他们算账。你想包庇他们，那可不成！你们五岳剑派，同气连枝，我可不卖这个账！” 岳不群等听了，无不骇然，均知他如此叫嚷，是要表明华山派与杀人之事无关。可是嵩山派这三人成名已久，那九曲剑钟镇更加了得，在“嵩山十三太保”中排名甚高，听令狐冲所嚷的言语，显已知钟镇等三人的来历。那日夜战，他打败剑宗封不平，刺瞎十五名江湖好手的双眼，剑法确是非同小可，但他此刻受伤极重，只怕再站立一会便会倒下，何以这等胆大妄为，贸然向人挑衅？ 高克新大怒跃起，长剑出鞘，便要向令狐冲刺出。钟镇举手拦住，向令狐冲问道：“尊驾是谁？” 令狐冲道：“哈哈，我认得你，你却不认得我。你们嵩山派想将五岳剑派合而为一，由你嵩山吞并其余四派。你们三个南北来到福建，一来是要抢夺林家的《辟邪剑谱》，二来是要戕害华山、恒山各派的重要人物。种种阴谋，可全给我知悉了。只怕是徒劳无功，到头一场空。嘿嘿，好笑啊好笑！” 岳不群和岳夫人对瞧了一眼，均想：“他这话倒未必全是无稽之谈。” 钟镇脸有惊疑之色，问道：“尊驾是哪一派的人物？” 令狐冲道：“我大庙不收，小庙不受，是个无主孤魂，荒山野鬼，决不会来抢你们嵩山派的生意，你这可放心了吧？哈哈，哈哈。”笑声中充满了凄凉之意。 钟镇道：“尊驾既非华山派人物，咱们可不能骚扰了岳先生，这就借步到外面说话。”这几句话语调平淡，但目露凶光，充满了杀机，显是令狐冲揭了他的底，已决心诛却。他对岳不群毕竟有所忌惮，不敢在福威镖局中拔剑杀人，要将令狐冲引到镖局之外再行动手。 这句话正合令狐冲心意，大声叫道：“岳先生，你今后可得多加提防。魔教教主任我行复出，此人身有吸星大法，专吸旁人内功，他说要跟华山派为难。还有，嵩山派想并吞你华山派。你是彬彬君子，人家的狼心狗肺，却不可不防。”他此番来到福州，为的便是要向师父说这几句话，说罢便即大踏步出门。钟镇等跟了出来。
令狐冲迈步走出福威镖局，只见一群尼姑、妇女站在大门外，正是恒山派那批女弟子。仪和与郑萼二人手持拜盒，走在最前，当是到镖局来拜会岳不群和岳夫人。令狐冲一怔，急忙转头，不让她们见到，但已跟仪和她们打了个照面，好在仪琳远远在后，没见到他面目。 钟镇等三人出来时，郑萼却认得他们，不禁一怔，停住了脚步。 令狐冲心想：“恒山派弟子既知我师父在此，自当前来拜会，有我师父、师娘照料，她们也不会吃亏了。”他不愿给仪琳见到，斜刺里便欲溜走。 钟镇、滕八公、高克新同时兵刃出手，拦在他面前，喝道：“你还想逃吗？” 令狐冲笑道：“我没兵器，怎生打法？” 这时岳不群、岳夫人和华山派众弟子都来到门前，要看令狐冲如何对付钟镇等三人。岳灵珊拔剑出鞘，叫道：“大……”想将长剑掷过去给他。岳不群左手两指伸出，搭在她剑刃之上，摇了摇头。岳灵珊急道：“爹！”岳不群又摇了摇头。 这一切全瞧在令狐冲眼里，心中大慰：“小师妹对我，毕竟还有昔日之情。” 突然之间，好几人齐声惊呼。 令狐冲情知必是有人偷袭，不及回头，立即向前急纵而出。他内力奇厚，这一跃既高且速，但饶是如此，只觉脑后生风，一剑在背后直劈而下，刚才这一跃只须慢得刹那，又或力道不足，跃得近了半尺，身子已给人劈成两半，当真凶险已极。 他站定后立即回头，但听得一声呼叱，白光闪动。恒山派女弟子同时出手。七人一队，分成三队，七柄长剑指住一人，将钟镇等三人分别围住。这一下拔剑、移步、围敌、出招，动作迅捷无比，加之身法轻盈，姿式美观，显是习练有素的阵法。每柄长剑剑尖指住对方一处要害，头、喉、胸、腹、腰、背、胁，每人身上七处要害，均给一柄长剑指住。阵法既成，七名女弟子便不再动。 适才出手向令狐冲偷袭的，便是钟镇。听得令狐冲的言语对嵩山派甚是不利，当即乘其不备，忽施杀手，意欲尽速灭口，以免他多嘴多舌，更增岳不群的疑心。他出手固然极毒，却还是让对方避了开去，而恒山派众女弟子剑阵一成，他武功虽强，可也半点动弹不得，四肢百骸，只须哪里动上一动，料想便有一柄剑刺将过来。 原来恒山群弟子早已从郑萼、仪琳口中，得知钟镇等三人如何乘人之危，在廿八铺逼迫定静师太同意五派合并之议，都心中有气，此时得郑萼示知，又见钟镇偷袭伤人，当即使动剑阵，将嵩山派三人围住。 岳不群、岳夫人自不知恒山派与钟镇等在廿八铺中曾有一番过节，突见双方动手，都大为惊奇，眼见恒山派众女弟子所结剑阵甚是奇妙，二十一人分成三堆，除了衣袖衫角在风中飘动之外，二十一柄长剑寒光闪闪，竟皆纹丝不动，其中却蕴藏着无限杀机。 令狐冲但见恒山剑阵凝式不动，七柄剑既攻敌，复自守，七剑连环，绝无破绽可寻，宛然有独孤九剑“以无招破有招”之妙诣，气喘吁吁地喝采：“妙极！这剑阵精彩之至！” 钟镇眼见受制，当即哈哈一笑，说道：“大家是自己人，开什么玩笑？我认输了，好不好？”当的一声，掷剑下地。围住他的七人以仪和为首，见对方掷剑认输，当即长剑一抖，收了转去，其余六人跟着收剑。不料钟镇左足足尖在地下长剑剑身上一点，那剑猛地跳起。钟镇手指尖一碰剑柄，剑锋如电，蓦地刺出。 仪和“啊”的一声惊呼，右臂中剑，手中长剑呛啷落地。钟镇长笑声中，寒光连闪，恒山派众弟子纷纷受伤。这么一乱，其余两个剑阵中的十四名女弟子心神稍分，滕八公和高克新同时乘隙发动，登时兵刃相交，铮铮之声大作。 令狐冲抢起仪和掉在地下的长剑，挥剑击出。但听得呛啷、啊、嘿，几下声响，高克新手腕受击，长剑落地。滕八公的软鞭倒了转来，圈在自己头颈之中。钟镇手腕给剑背击中，退了几步，长剑总算还握在手中，但整条手臂已酸软无力。 两个少女同时尖声叫了起来，一个叫：“吴将军！”一个叫：“令狐师兄！” 叫“吴将军”的是郑萼。适才令狐冲击退三人所使手法，与在廿八铺客店中对付这三人时所用剑招一模一样，连高克新茫然失措、滕八公险些窒息、钟镇又惊又怒的神情也殊无二致。郑萼心思机敏，当日曾见令狐冲如此出招，他容貌衣饰虽已大变，还是立即认了出来。另一个叫“令狐师兄”的却是仪琳。她本来和仪真、仪质等六位师姊结成剑阵，围住了滕八公。每人全神贯注，双目盯住敌人，绝不斜视，目中所见，仅只他身上一处要害，视头则只见其头，视胸则只见其胸，连敌人别处肢体都没瞧见，自然更加没见到旁人，直至剑阵散开，她才见到令狐冲。暌别经年，陡然相遇，仪琳全身大震，险些晕去。 令狐冲真相既显，眼见已无法隐瞒，笑道：“你奶奶的，你这三个家伙太也不识好歹，恒山派众位师太饶了你们一命，你们居然恩将仇报。本将军可实在太瞧着不顺眼了。我……我……”说到这里，突然脑中晕眩，眼前发黑，咕咚倒地。 仪琳抢上扶起，急叫：“令狐师兄，令狐师兄！”只见他肩头、臂上血如泉涌，忙卷起他衣袖，取出本门治伤灵药白云熊胆丸塞入他口中。郑萼、仪真等取过天香断续胶为他搽上伤口。恒山派众女弟子个个感念他救援之德，当日若不是他出手相救，人人都已死于非命，不但惨死，说不定还会受贼子污辱，是以递药的递药，抹血的抹血，包扎的包扎，便在这长街之上尽心救治。天下女子遇到这等紧急事态，自不免叽叽喳喳，七嘴八舌，围住了议论不休。恒山派众女弟子虽是武学之士，却也难免，或发叹息，或示关心，或问何人伤我将军，或曰凶手狠毒无情，言语纷纭，且杂“阿弥陀佛”之声。 华山派众人见到这等情景，尽皆诧异。 岳不群心想：“恒山派向来戒律精严，这些女弟子却不知如何，竟给令狐冲这无行浪子迷得七颠八倒，在众目睽睽之下，不避男女之嫌，叫师兄的叫师兄，呼将军的呼将军。这小贼几时又做过将军了？当真昏天黑地，一塌糊涂。怎地恒山派的前辈也不管管？”
