Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Nine
In the evening, Linghu Chong went outside the Shaolin Temple again, and explained to the Zhike monks that he wanted to welcome the remains of the two masters, Dingxian and Dingyi, back to Mount Heng.The Zhike monk went inside to report, and after a while, he came out and said, "The abbot said: The dharma bodies of the two teachers have been cremated. The monks in this temple are chanting scriptures and sending them off respectfully. We will send the davi relics of the two teachers. sent to Mount Heng."
Linghu Chong walked to the side hall where he was performing ceremonies for the two masters, knelt down to the ashes altar and the lotus tablet, kowtowed a few times respectfully, and secretly prayed: "Linghu Chong will do his best to help Hengshan in his lifetime." Carry forward one school and live up to the entrustment of the teacher."
Linghu Chong didn't ask to see the abbot, he said goodbye to the monk who knew the guest, and left the temple immediately.At the foot of the mountain, the heavy snow continued, so I stayed overnight at a farmer's house.The next morning, he headed north again and bought a horse at the market for transportation.I only walked seventy or eighty miles a day, then stayed in the inn, followed the method taught by Ren Woxing, and slowly opened up the meridians. After seven days, the meridians of the left arm were running as usual.
After walking for a few more days, this day I was drinking in a restaurant at noon. I saw people coming and going on the street, very busy. Every family was preparing for the New Year, and they were full of joy.Linghu Chong poured himself a drink, thinking: "In previous years in Huashan, my master had already supervised all my juniors and younger sisters to clean up, grind rice cakes, buy new year's goods, sew new clothes, and my junior sisters had already cut a lot of window grilles. It was very lively. But this year I Drinking this boring wine here alone."
While I was worrying, I heard footsteps on the stairs, someone said: "Your mouth is very dry, a few drinks here, it's not bad." Another person said: "Even if you don't drink a few glasses, Is it broken?" Another person said: "Drinking is drinking, and dry mouth is dry mouth, how can these two things be confused?" Another person said: "The more you drink, the more dry your mouth is. Not only can these two things not be confused, but also On the contrary." When Linghu Chong heard it, he knew that the Six Immortals of Peach Valley had arrived, and he was overjoyed, and shouted: "Six Tao brothers, come up quickly and drink with me."
Suddenly there was a whirring sound, and the six fairies of Taogu flew up the stairs together, rushed to Linghu Chong's side, stretched out their hands to grab his shoulders and arms, and shouted: "I saw him first." "I caught him first." "I was the first to speak, and Master Linghu heard my voice." "If I hadn't said that I wanted to come here, how could I have met him?"
Linghu Chong was very surprised, and asked with a smile: "What the hell are you six doing?"
Peach Blossom Immortal rushed to the window of the restaurant and shouted loudly: "Little nun, big nun, old nun, not old or small middle nun! I, Peach Blossom Immortal, have found Mr. Linghu, quickly bring me a thousand taels of silver." Going over, he shouted: "I, Taozhixian, was the first to find him, big and small nuns, bring the money quickly." Taogenxian and Taoshixian each grabbed Linghu Chong's arm, and shouted: "I found him!" It's me! It's me!"
All I could hear was a woman's voice on the other side of the long street calling: "Did you find Hero Linghu?"
Tao Shixian said: "I found Linghu Chong, quickly bring the money." Tao Ganxian said: "Pay with one hand, and deliver with one hand!" Taogen Xian said: "Yes, yes! If the little nun repudiates the debt, we will hide Linghu Chong Get up, don't give it to them." Taozhixian asked: "How can I hide the law? Lock him up and keep him from being seen by the little nuns?"
There were footsteps on the stairs, and several women were grabbed, the first one was Yihe, a disciple of Hengshan School, followed by four nuns, and the other two young girls were Zheng E and Qin Juan.When the seven people saw Linghu Chong, their faces were full of joy. Some called him "Hero Linghu", some called "Senior Brother Linghu", and some called "Mr. Linghu".
Tao Ganxian and others stretched out their arms together, stopped in front of Linghu Chong, and said, "If you don't give a thousand taels of silver, you can't hand it over to someone."
Linghu Chong said with a smile: "Six Tao brothers, what about the one thousand taels of silver?" Tao Zhixian said: "We saw them just now, and they asked me if I saw you. I said I haven't seen you yet, sorry I've seen it for a long time." Qin Juan said: "This uncle lied to his face, he said: 'No, Linghu Chong has raw feet, he is probably at the end of the world, how can we see him?'" Peach Blossom Immortal said: "No, No. We had a foresight long ago, and we planned to meet Linghu Chong here." Tao Ganxian said: "Yes! Otherwise, why don't we go to other places, but why come here?"
Linghu Chong smiled and said: "I guessed it. These senior sisters and sisters have something to look for me, and I asked six of them to help me find it, so you asked for one thousand taels of silver, right?"
Tao Ganxian said: "We ask for a thousand taels of silver, which is a bargain. If they know how to do business, they should pay back the money immediately. But they are generous, and the nun said: "Okay, as long as you find Linghu Hero, we will give you one thousand taels of silver.' Is there such a saying?" Yihe said: "That's right, the six ministers helped find Hero Linghu, we Hengshan Sect should offer one thousand taels of silver. "
Six palms stretched out at the same time, and the six immortals of Peach Valley said in unison: "Bring it."
Yihe said: "We are monks, how can we carry so much silver with us? I trouble the six to follow us to Mount Heng to get it." She only thought that the six immortals of Peach Valley must be afraid of trouble, but they didn't know that the six of them had the same thoughts and said in unison: " Very good, I will go to Mount Heng with you, lest you renege on your debts."
Linghu Chong said with a smile: "Congratulations to the six who have made a lot of money, and sold it for such a big price."
The orange-peel-like face of Taogu Six Immortals was full of smiles, and they cupped their hands and said, "Tofu, Tofu! Go bright, go bright!"
Yihe and the other seven people changed their colors tragically, and they all bowed down to Linghu Chong.Linghu Chong asked in shock: "Why do you guys do such a big gift?" He returned the gift eagerly.Yihe said: "See the master." Linghu Chong said: "You all know? Please get up."
Tao Genxian said: "Yes, it's inconvenient to kneel on the ground and talk." Linghu Chong stood up and said, "Six Tao brothers, I have some important discussions with the Hengshan faction, please sit aside for a drink. Don't disturb me, lest you don't get the thousand taels of silver." The Taogu Six Immortals were about to rave about, but when they heard the last sentence, they immediately stopped talking, walked to a table by the street window and sat down, ordering wine and food. .
Yihe and others stood up, thinking of the tragic death of the two masters Dingxian and Dingyi, they couldn't help crying bitterly.
Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Eh, it's strange, strange, why did you start crying all of a sudden? You don't need to see Linghu Chong when you see Linghu Chong is about to cry." Linghu Chong glared at him, and Peach Blossom Fairy was so frightened that he stretched out his hand to hold his mouth.
Yihe cried: "Brother Linghu that day... no, Master, you went ashore to drink and did not return to the boat. Later, Master Mo from the Hengshan School came to give us instructions, saying that you should go to Shaolin Temple to see Master Master Uncle I went with Martial Uncle Dingyi. After discussing with everyone, they all said that it is better to come to Shaolin Temple, so as to meet with the two Martial Uncles and you. Unexpectedly, on the way, I met dozens of high-ranking people, and listened to their high-spirited talks. Tell a lot about how you led a group of heroes to attack Shaolin Temple, and how you scared away thousands of Shaolin monks. There was a big-headed short fat man who said his surname was Lao, and a middle-aged scholar who said his surname was Zu. ...The two of them said that the master uncle and Dingyi master were murdered in Shaolin Temple. When the master master was dying, he asked you...to take over as the master of the sect, and you have already agreed Many people heard this sentence with their own ears at that time..." When she said this, she was sobbing, and the other six disciples were also sobbing.
Linghu Chong sighed: "Master Dingxian indeed ordered me to shoulder this important task at that time, but I think I am a young man with a very bad reputation, everyone knows that I am a prodigal son, how can I be the head of the Hengshan School? But seeing the situation at that time, if I don't agree, Master Dingxian will die too. Alas, this is so rare."
Yihe said: "We... all of us are looking forward to you... I hope you will come to take charge of the Hengshan sect." Zheng E said: "Uncle Master, you led us from death to life, and saved the lives of all the disciples more than once. Hengshan All the disciples of the school know that you are an upright gentleman. Although you are a man, there is no rule in this sect that forbids a man to be the head of the sect." A middle-aged nun Yiwen said: "Everyone heard that Master The news of his uncle's passing away is of course very sad, but I am very relieved to know that you will take over the sect, and the Hengshan faction will not be destroyed." Yihe said: "My master and the two uncles They were all murdered by others. The three masters of Hengshan School's 'Ding' generation died one after another within a few months. We don't even know who the murderer is. Uncle Master, it's really best for you to be the master. You are considered to be of the 'Ding' generation, so you might as well change your name to Linghu Dingchong. If it wasn't for you, you wouldn't be able to avenge our three teachers."
Linghu Chong nodded and said: "I will take on the heavy responsibility of avenging the three masters."
Qin Juan said: "You were kicked out by the Huashan faction, and now you are the head of the Hengshan faction. Western mountains and northern mountains are on par in the martial arts. When you see Mr. Yue in the future, you don't need to call him master, you can call him Senior Brother Yue at most." yes."
Linghu Chong could only smile wryly, and said in his heart: "I don't have the face to see this 'Brother Yue' again."
Zheng E said: "After we heard the sad news of the two masters, we rushed to Shaolin Temple, and met Master Mo on the way. He said that you are no longer in the temple, and asked us to quickly find your master uncle." Qin Juan said: " Uncle Mo said, the sooner you can be found, the better, if you are one step late, you will be persuaded to join the demon sect, good and evil cannot be tolerated, and the Hengshan sect will lose its head." Zheng E confessed to her. With a glance, she said: "Junior Sister Qin didn't hold back her words. How could the master master join the Demon Cult?" Qin Juan said, "Yes, but Uncle Mo really said that."
Linghu Chong thought to himself: "Master Mo's calculations are extremely accurate. I didn't join the Sun Moon Sect, and the difference is only a thin line. If the head teacher at that time hadn't lured me with the secrets of inner strength, but sincerely invited me to join the sect, I would It's hard to get along, and for the sake of Yingying and Big Brother Xiang, maybe they will agree to join the Hengshan School after taking care of the important affairs." He said: "So you set a reward of one thousand taels of silver and hunted Linghu Chong everywhere. ?”
Qin Juan smiled through tears and said, "Arrest Linghu Chong? How dare we?" Zheng E said: "At that time, everyone listened to Master Mo's order, and they formed a team of seven people to look for the master master. I want to invite you to Mount Hengshan in the morning. Dealing with important matters in the sect. I saw the Six Immortals of Peach Valley today, and they asked for one thousand taels of silver. As long as we find the master master, let alone one thousand taels, even if we want ten thousand taels, we will try to melt it down and give it to them .”
Linghu Chong smiled and said, "I'll be your head. I don't have any other benefits. Asking for money from corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, everyone will definitely grow up in this job."
The seven disciples couldn't help but smile when they thought of the alms for Xiang Baipi in Fujian that day.
Linghu Chong said: "Okay, everyone don't have to worry. Since Linghu Chong has agreed to Mrs. Dingxian, what he said must not be counted. I don't need to change my name to Linghu Dingchong. As long as you don't object, I, the head of the Hengshan School It's a deal. Let's go to Mount Heng when we're full." The seven disciples were all overjoyed and said, "Of course I don't object."
Linghu Chong and the Six Immortals of Taogu had a banquet and drank together, and asked them what they wanted a thousand taels of silver for.Taogen Xiandao: "The night owl Ji Wushi is so poor that he can't live without one thousand taels of silver. We promised to make up for him." Taogan Xian said: "That day in Shaolin Temple, we followed Ji Wushi We made a bet..." Taohuaxian rushed to say: "Of course Ji Wushi lost, how could this kid win our brother?" Linghu Chong thought: "You bet with Ji Wushi, you must lose. Asked: "What's the bet?" Tao Shixian said: "The betting matter has something to do with you. We predict that you will not be the head of the Hengshan sect, no... no... we predict that you will become the Hengshan sect." The head of the sect." Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Night owls expected that you would not be the head of the Hengshan sect, we said, the man kept his promise, you have promised that old nun to be the head of the Hengshan sect, a hero in the world, everyone knows it How can you deny it?" Taozhixian said: "The night owl said that Linghu is surfing the rivers and lakes, and soon he will marry a holy lady from the Demon Cult as his wife, so how can he go to play mushrooms with old nuns and young nuns?"
Linghu Chong thought to himself: "Night owls respect Yingying so much, how could they call it 'Devil Cult'? It must be the Six Immortals of Peach Valley who said it upside down." He said, "So you bet one thousand taels of silver?"
Tao Genxian said: "That's right. At that time we thought it was a sure win. Ji Wushi said again: "This thousand taels of silver can be earned in a fair manner, and can't be stolen or robbed." Can the immortal still go and steal it?'" Taoye Xian said: "Today we bumped into these nuns, they played gongs and looked for you everywhere, saying that they would invite you to be the head of the Hengshan School, and we agreed to help them Looking for you, the search fee is one thousand taels of silver." Linghu Chong smiled and said: "You think that the night owl will lose one thousand taels of silver, which is too pitiful, so you have to earn one thousand taels of silver for him so that he can lose to you? "The six immortals of Taogu said in unison: "Exactly, exactly. You predict things like a god." Taoye Xian said: "The ability to predict things is not too far from our six brothers."
Linghu Chong and his party headed towards Mount Heng, and arrived at the foot of the mountain within a day. The disciples in the faction had already heard the news, and they all waited at the foot of the mountain, and they all bowed down when they saw Linghu Chong.Linghu Chong immediately returned the gift.Speaking of the death of the two masters Dingxian and Dingyi, everyone is sad.Linghu Chong saw that Yilin was among the disciples, looking haggard, don't come to see Qingjian, and asked: "Junior Sister Yilin, are you feeling unwell recently?" Yilin's eyes turned red, and said: "It's nothing." After a pause, he said again: "You have become our head, so you can no longer call me a junior sister." Along the way, Yihe and others called Linghu Chong to be the 'uncle master'.He told everyone to change their mouths, but everyone always refused, but now hearing Yilin shouting again, she said loudly: "All senior sisters and sisters, Linghu Chong has inherited the last order of the former head master of our sect, and came to take charge of the Hengshan sect. In fact, he has no virtue and incompetence, so he never dares to do it." All the disciples said: "It's really a great fortune for our sect to take on this important task." Linghu Chong said: "But everyone must agree to me." Yihe and others said. : "What orders does the master have, the disciples will obey them." Linghu Chong said: "I will only be your senior brother, but not my uncle." Yihe, Yiqing, Yizhen, Yiwen and other big disciples discussed in a low voice, and said back: "Since the master is so humble, he should obey his orders." Linghu Chong said happily: "It's very good." Now everyone went to Mount Heng.The main peak of Mount Heng is very high, although everyone walked quickly, it took more than half a day to reach the top of the peak of visibility.Wuse Nunnery, the main nunnery of the Hengshan School, is a small nunnery. There are more than 30 tile-roofed houses beside the nunnery, where disciples live.Linghu Chong saw that the Wuse Nunnery only went forward and backward, compared with the magnificent Shaolin Temple, it was like an ant compared to an elephant.When I came to the nunnery, I saw a white-clothed Avalokitesvara enshrined in the hall. The surrounding area was spotless and the furnishings were simple. Unexpectedly, the Hengshan School was so powerful that the main nunnery was so simple. After Linghu Chong kowtowed to the statue of Avalokitesvara, under the guidance of his sister-in-law, he came to Master Dingxian's daily retreat, but he saw that the walls were deserted, except for an old futon on the ground, and nothing else.Linghu Chong loves to liven up the most, loves to drink and eat, how can he clean up in this small room that is as quiet as still water?It would be too profane to bring wine jars, cooked dog legs, etc. to this quiet room, so he said to his sister-in-law: "Although I come to be the head of Hengshan, I will neither be a monk nor a nun. The sisters and sisters are all women, and it is inconvenient for me to live in this nunnery alone. Please vacate a room far away, and it will be more appropriate for me and the Six Immortals of Peach Valley to live there." Mrs. Yu said: "Yes. There are three big houses on the west side of the peak, which were originally guest rooms for the parents of female disciples of our sect to stay when they visit the peak. If the head of the school agrees, how about staying there temporarily? Let's do it separately Then build a new house for the head." Linghu Chong said happily: "That would be the best. There is no need to build another new residence." He pondered: "Am I going to be the head of the Hengshan School for the rest of my life? Once I find a suitable candidate in the school, as long as the group of disciples obey her, I will The headship was passed on to her immediately, and I patted my buttocks to walk, and went to the rivers and lakes to have fun. If there is any danger in the future, I will support the Hengshan Sect with all my strength." When I came to the Fengxi guest room, I saw that the mattresses, tables and chairs were similar to those of the rich peasants in the countryside. Although they were still crude, they were no longer as empty as the Wuse Nunnery. Mrs. Yu said: "Master, please sit down, I'll get you wine." Linghu Chong said joyfully, "Is there wine on this mountain?" He was overjoyed by this incident.Sister-in-law Yu smiled and said: "There is not only wine, but also good wine. Younger sister Yilin heard that the master is coming to Hengshan, and told me that if there is no good wine, I am afraid that you, the master, will not last long. We stayed overnight Send people down the mountain, and buy dozens of altars of good wine here." Linghu Chong was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Everyone in this school is poor, and it is too expensive for me alone, that is not justified." Yiqing smiled and said: "Then Although half of the silver that Hinata made from flaying was used to help the poor, there is still a lot left over; and after selling the dozens of official horses, the brother in charge will drink for ten or twenty years, and the money for the wine is enough." That night Linghu Chong and the Six Immortals of Peach Valley had a big drink.In the early morning of the next day, he discussed with Mrs. Yu, Yiqing, Yihe and others how to bring back the ashes of the two teachers and how to avenge the three teachers. Yiqing said: "Brother who is the head of the sect takes over this position, you have to announce that you are the same in the martial arts, and you have to send someone to inform Master Zuo, the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect." Yihe said angrily: "Bah, my master is his Songshan Sect These traitors killed the two master uncles, most likely they were the ones who killed them, why tell them what to do?" Yiqing said: "Etiquette is indispensable. Let's find out for sure, if the three masters are really from the Songshan School At that time, under the leadership of the sect master brother, we should question them in a big way." Linghu Chong nodded and said: "Senior Sister Yiqing is right. It's just that as the head of the sect, you can do what you want, but you don't need to perform any ceremony." I remember when my master took over as the head of Huashan when he was young, there were a lot of red tapes. There are countless martial arts fellows who came up the mountain to congratulate and watch the ceremony; and thinking of the Hengshan School Liu Zhengfeng'washing hands in a golden basin', Hengshan City is also full of heroes.The Hengshan faction is as famous as the Huashan and Hengshan factions, and if there are very few people who come to congratulate him as the head, it would be embarrassing. It's ridiculous. Yiqing understood his intentions and said: "Since the senior brother in charge doesn't want to disturb friends in the martial arts world, then it's okay to not invite guests to the mountain to watch the ceremony, but we have to set a date for the formal inauguration and let everyone know." Linghu Chong thought to himself that the Hengshan School is one of the Five Sacred Sword Schools, and if the appointment of the head is too hasty, it will damage the reputation of the Hengshan School, so he nodded in agreement. Yiqing took a calendar, flipped through it for a while, and said, "February 16th, March 8th, and March 27th, these three days are all auspicious days for the auspicious zodiac. Brother Sect Master, which day do you think is suitable? " Linghu Chong never believed in the auspicious days of the zodiac and the evil days of the underworld. He thought that the earlier the ceremony was held, the fewer people would go up the mountain to participate, and he would avoid a lot of embarrassment. He asked, "Are there any good days in the first month?" Yiqing said: "There are quite a few good days in the first month, but they are all good for traveling, breaking ground, getting married, opening a business, etc. It will be in February that it will be good for 'receiving seals and sitting in the government office'." Linghu Chong He said with a smile, "I'm not an official. What's the matter with receiving the seal and sitting in the government office?" Yihe said with a smile, "Didn't you have been a general? Being the head of the house is also receiving the seal." Linghu Chong didn't want to go against everyone's wishes, and said: "Since that's the case, let's set it on February 16th." Immediately, he sent his disciples to Shaolin Temple to bring back the ashes of the two masters, and distributed notices to all sects.He repeatedly warned the disciples who went down the mountain not to publicize the matter, and said: "Report to the heads of all sects that Master Dingxian has passed away, and the great revenge has not been avenged. All the disciples of Hengshan Sect are in mourning. It’s not a grand ceremony for the inauguration of the head, please don’t send people up the mountain to watch the ceremony and congratulate.” After dismissing the disciples who came down the mountain to summon the disciples, Linghu Chong thought to himself: "Since I am the head of Hengshan School, I have to study the swordsmanship and martial arts of the Hengshan School." Immediately, he summoned all the disciples who stayed on the mountain and ordered them to try it out Swordsmanship and martial arts, started from the basic skills of beginners, and finally the two big disciples Yihe and Yiqing dismantled their moves and performed the best moves in Hengshan swordsmanship. Linghu Chong saw that the Hengshan School's swordsmanship is dense and rigorous, good at defending, and often strikes at the most unexpected places, the swordsmanship is more than dense, but not sharp enough, it is suitable for women's martial arts.The masters of the Hengshan School in the past are all women, and they are not as powerful and ferocious as the martial arts practiced by men.But Hengshan swordsmanship can be said to be one of the swordsmanship with very few flaws. Ruoyan's strict defense is only inferior to Wudang school's "Taiji swordsmanship", but occasionally he makes offensive moves suddenly, but it is still in the "Taiji swordsmanship". above.The Hengshan faction is outstanding in the martial arts world, and has its own uniqueness. He thought to himself that on the rock wall of the cave behind Siguo Cliff in Mount Hua, he had seen Hengshan's swordsmanship engraved on it. The skill of changing moves is far superior to the swordsmanship of Yihe and Yiqing.But even that set of sword skills has been broken by others, the Hengshan faction needs to improve their basic sword skills if they want to flourish in the martial arts in the future.I also remembered that I saw Master Dingjing fight with others, his internal strength is strong, and his moves are sophisticated, far beyond the reach of Yihe and other disciples. I heard that Master Dingxian's martial arts are even higher. It seems that the kung fu of the three senior masters is not as good More than half of them have not been learned by the disciples.The three masters passed away one after another within a few months, many exquisite kung fu of the Hengshan School may be lost. Seeing him in a daze, Yihe was noncommittal about the swordsmanship of the disciples, so he said: "Senior brother, our swordsmanship is not impressive to you, please give me some pointers." Linghu Chong said: "There is a set of Hengshan School's swordsmanship, I wonder if the three masters have passed it on to you?" Taking the sword from Yihe's hand, he used the Hengshan School's swordplay engraved on the stone wall with one move.He made it very slowly so that all the disciples could see it clearly. Even without counting the moves, the group of disciples applauded loudly, but seeing that each move contained the essence of this school's swordsmanship, but the changes were amazing, and it was far superior to every set of swordsmanship he had learned before. How much, every move and every move, everyone can see the blood rushing and feel refreshed.This set of sword moves is engraved on the stone wall, and they are dead. When Linghu Chong uses them, he connects each move together, and the transitions and coherence will inevitably add some new ideas created by himself.After using a set of sword techniques, the group of disciples burst into applause, all of them were overjoyed, and bowed in worship. Yihe said: "Senior brother, this is obviously our Hengshan school's sword technique, but we have never seen it before. I'm afraid the master and the two uncles don't know it. I don't know where you learned it from?" Linghu Chong said: " I saw it on the stone wall in a cave. If you are willing to learn, how about I pass it on to you?" The group of disciples were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly. This day Linghu Chong taught them three moves, explained the secrets of these three moves in detail, and ordered each disciple to practice by themselves. Although there are only three moves in swordsmanship, these three moves are broad and profound, even big disciples like Yihe and Yiqing need seven or eight days of hard work to understand the essence of them. As for Zheng E, Yilin, Qin Juan and others, more difficult to comprehend.On the ninth day, Linghu Chong taught them two more sword techniques.This set of swordsmanship on the stone wall does not have many moves, but it took more than a month to teach them roughly. As for whether they can master it or not, it depends on each person's cultivation and understanding. In the past month or so, all the disciples who went down the mountain to send messages returned to the mountain one after another, most of them looked unhappy, and spoke hesitantly when they reported to Linghu Chong.Linghu Chong knew that they must be ridiculed and humiliated, saying that they are a group of nuns, but they want a man to be the head of the sect, so he didn't ask carefully, so he just said a few words of comfort, asking them to learn the sword skills from their senior sisters respectively. If you don't know, please give pointers yourself. The letter sent by Huashan was sent by two mature and prudent people, sister-in-law and Yiwen.Huashan and Hengshan are not far away, so they should return early, but the disciples who sent letters to the south have all returned to the mountain, Yusao and Yiwen have never returned.Seeing that the general will be on the 16th of February, Yusao and Yiwen are still nowhere to be seen, so he sent two more disciples, Yiguang and Yikong, to meet him. The group of disciples expected that no one from each sect or faction would go up to the mountain to congratulate and watch the ceremony, and they did not prepare food and accommodation for the guests. They only weeded and washed the ground, cleaned dozens of houses, and everyone sewed new clothes and shoes.Zheng E and others sewed a black cloth robe for Linghu Chong, to be worn when he takes over the post.Mount Heng is the northern one of the five mountains, and its color is still black.
In the early morning of February 16th, Linghu Chong got up and came out, only to see lanterns and festoons hanging in front of every house on Xingfeng Peak, decorated in a joyous manner.A group of female disciples are careful, and even the smallest details are arranged very properly.Linghu Chong was ashamed and grateful, and said in his heart: "Because of me, the two mistresses died miserably because of me. Instead of blaming me, they valued me so much. If Linghu Chong can't avenge the three mistresses, he should send a good job for Hengshan. A lot of hard work is really in vain." Suddenly, someone shouted from behind the mountain col: "A Lin, A Lin, your father saw you coming, how are you? A Lin, your father is coming!" The voice was so loud that it shook the valley echoing endlessly: "Ah! Lin... Arlene... your father... your father..." When Yilin heard the cry, she rushed out of the nunnery and called out, "Daddy, Daddy!" A burly monk came out from behind the col, it was Yilin's father, monk Bujie, and there was another monk behind him.The two walked very fast, and they had already approached in a short while.Monk Bujie said loudly: "Mr. Linghu, you survived the serious injury and became my daughter's head. That's very good." Linghu Chong laughed and said, "It's thanks to Master." Yilin stepped forward, held her father's hand, she was very affectionate, and said with a smile: "Father, you know today is a good day for Senior Brother Linghu to take over as the head of the Hengshan School, so come to congratulate me?" Bujie smiled and said: "There's no need to congratulate, I'm here to join Hengshan Sect. We are our own people, so why congratulate?" Linghu Chong was slightly startled, and asked: "Master, is he going to join the Hengshan School?" He said without hesitation: "Yes. My daughter is from the Hengshan School, and I am her father, so naturally I am also from the Hengshan School. His grandma's, I heard people laugh at you, He said that you are a big man, but you came to be the head of a group of nuns and girls. His grandma, they don't know that you are sentimental and have ulterior motives..." He smiled happily, looked at his daughter After taking a look, he said again: "I knocked out all his teeth with one punch, and shouted: 'You kid, you know nothing! Why are the Hengshan sect full of nuns and women? I belong to the Hengshan sect. Although I shaved my head, Do you see that I am a nun? I will show you by unbuttoning my pants!' I stretched out my hand and unbuttoned my pants, this kid turned around and ran away in fright, haha, haha!" Both Linghu Chong and Yilin laughed loudly.Yilin smiled and said: "Daddy, you are so rude, you are not afraid of being laughed at!" He didn't quit and said: "If you don't show him clearly, I'm afraid this kid doesn't know whether I am a nun or a monk. Brother Linghu, I joined the Hengshan School myself, and I brought a disciple and grandson here. You must stop, see Linghu's palm Door." When he was talking, the monk who followed him up the mountain turned his back all the way, not facing Linghu Chong and Yilin, but now he turned around, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and smiled at Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong only felt that the monk looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was at the moment. After a while, he realized that he was actually Tian Boguang who was alone in thousands of miles. ?” That monk is Tian Boguang.He smiled wryly, bowed to Yilin, and said, "See...see Master." Yilin was also extremely surprised, and asked: "You...how did you become a monk? Is it a fake?" Master Bujie was complacent, and said with a smile: "It's genuine, it's not deceiving, and it's indeed a monk. You must not not quit, what is your Dharma name, tell your master." Tian Boguang smiled bitterly: "Master, Grand Master gave I took a Dharma name called 'You must quit'." Yilin wondered, "What is 'You must quit', how can there be such a long name?" Bujie said: "What do you know? The names of Bodhisattvas in Buddhist scriptures can be as long as they want. 'Great Mercy and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva', isn't the name long? His name is only four characters, how can it be long?" Yilin He nodded and said: "I see. How did he become a monk? Dad, did you accept him as an apprentice?" Bujie said: "No. He is your apprentice, and I am his patriarch. But you are a little nun, he If I worship you as my teacher, if I don't become a monk, the reputation of the Hengshan Sect will be affected. So I persuaded him to become a monk." Yilin laughed and said, "Why persuade him? Daddy, you must force him to become a monk, don't you?" Bujie said: "He is voluntary, and he cannot be forced to become a monk. This person is good in everything, but he is not good, so I gave him a Dharma name called 'must not quit'." Yilin's face flushed slightly, and she understood her father's intentions.Tian Boguang is greedy and lustful, he was caught by her father somehow before, and he was spared, but many strange punishments were imposed on him, this time he was forced to become a monk again. Just listen to Bujie loudly: "My law is called Bujie, and I don't abide by any rules and regulations. But this Tian Boguang has done too many bad things in the Jianghu. If he doesn't quit this bad thing, how can he be your disciple? Disciple? Young Master Linghu doesn't like it either. He will pass on my mantle in the future, so his Dharma name should also have the word 'Bujie'." Suddenly I heard a person say: "Monk Bujie and you must join the Hengshan Sect, and we Peach Valley Six Immortals will also join the Hengshan Sect." Taogen Xiandao: "We were the first to meet Linghu Chong, so the six of us are senior senior brothers, and Monk Bujie is junior junior brother." Linghu Chong thought to himself: "Since the Hengshan School has Master Bujie and Tian Boguang, we might as well change it to the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, so that the world will not say that Linghu Chong is the head of a group of nuns and girls." He said: "The six Tao brothers are willing to join the Hengshan School. That couldn't be better. Seniors and seniors are too troublesome to line up, so everyone can avoid it!" Immortal Taoye suddenly said: "A disciple who does not quit is called must not quit. If you must not quit in the future, what is the name of the Dharma?" It can be called 'Of course you must quit'." Taozhixian asked: "Then what is the name of the Dharma name for the disciple of 'Of course you must quit'?" Seeing Tian Boguang's awkward situation, Linghu Chong raised his hand and said, "I have a few words to ask you." Tian Boguang said, "Yes." His Dharma name can be called 'Of course you must abstain'." Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Then what is the Dharma name for the disciple of 'Of course you must abstain'?" Peach Root Immortal said: "I can't add it to the top, so I have to add it to the bottom. It's called 'It's a matter of course, but it's inevitable'." Tian Boguang smiled wryly and said: "Master Linghu, I was forced by the grand master that day, and I came to Huashan to invite you to see the little master. The whole process is really hard to describe." Linghu Chong said: "I only know that he forced you to take the poison. , and lied to you about your death spot." Tian Boguang said: "We have to start from the beginning. That day, we had a fight with Yu Aizi outside the Qunyu Courtyard in Hengshan. He thought that there were too many good players on the Baidao in Hunan, so he couldn't stay longer, so he went north to Henan. Today I’m ashamed to say that my old problem broke out, and I touched the boudoir of a wealthy lady in the dark night of Kaifeng Mansion. I lifted the gauze curtain, stretched out my hand to touch it, and found a bald head.” Linghu Chong laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, she is a nun." Tian Boguang smiled wryly: "No, she is a monk." Linghu Chong laughed loudly and said: "A monk fell asleep in the quilt under the lady's embroidered quilt. Unexpectedly, this lady stole a man, but she stole it." It's a monk." Tian Boguang shook his head and said: "No! That monk is the Grand Master. It turns out that the Grand Master has been looking for me, and finally got a clue and found the Kaifeng mansion. I step on the plates near this family's house during the day, and let the Grand Master see The old man guessed that I had bad intentions, so he told the family and told the lady to hide, and the old man slept on the bed and waited for me." Linghu Chong said with a smile: "Brother Tian suffered a lot just now." Tian Boguang smiled wryly and said: "Does that matter? As soon as I reached out and touched Grand Master's head, I knew something was wrong. Then I felt a numbness in my lower abdomen, and it was already dead. The acupuncture point was tapped. Tai Shifu jumped out of bed, lit the lamp, and asked me whether I should die or live. I knew that I had done a lot of evil in my life, and one day I would be punished, so I immediately said, "I want to die!" Tai Shifu was very surprised and asked Me: "Why do you have to die?" I said: "I was accidentally restrained by you, can I still want to live?" Tai Shifu's face was serious, and he said angrily: "You said that you accidentally restrained me, it would be like if Be careful, so you won't be restrained by me. Good!' He said the word 'good', and he untied my acupuncture points as soon as he stretched out his hand. "I sat down and asked, 'What are your orders?' He said, 'You have a knife, why didn't you cut at me? You were born with feet, why didn't you jump out of the window and escape?' I said, 'A man named Tian Big man, are you such a shameless villain?" He laughed and said, "Aren't you a shameless villain? Why did you promise to worship my daughter as a teacher?" I was very surprised and asked, "Your daughter?" He said: "On that restaurant, you made a bet with the young man of the Chinese school, and said that if you lose, you will worship my daughter as your teacher. Is that false? I will go to Hengshan to meet my daughter, and she will be one by one."十，从头至尾地都跟我说了。'我道：'原来如此。那个小尼姑是你大和尚的女儿，那倒奇了。'他道：'有什么奇怪了？'我自然说不出。” 令狐冲笑道：“这件事本来颇为奇怪。人家是生了儿女再做和尚，不戒大师却是做了和尚再生女儿，他法名叫做不戒，便是什么清规戒律都不遵守之意。” 田伯光道：“是。当时我说：'打赌之事，乃是戏言，又如何当得真？这场打赌是我输了，那不错，我再也不去骚扰那位小师太，也就是了。'太师父道：'那不行。你说过要拜师，一定得拜师。你非拜我女儿为师不可。我可不能生了个女儿，却让人欺侮。我一路上找你，功夫花得着实不小。你这小子滑溜得紧，你如不再干这采花的勾当，要捉到你可还真不容易。'我见他纠缠不清，当下一个'倒踩三叠云'，从窗口中跳了出去。在下自以为轻功了得，太师父定然追赶不上，不料只听得背后脚步声响，太师父直追了下来。我叫道：'大和尚，刚才你没杀我，我此刻也不杀你。你再追来，我可要不客气了。' “太师父哈哈笑道：'你怎生不客气？'我拔刀转身，向他砍了过去。但太师父的武功也真高强，他以一双肉掌和我拆招，封得我的快刀没法递进招去，拆到四十招后，他一把抓住我后颈，跟着又将我单刀夺了下来，问我：'服了没有？'我说：'服了，你杀了我吧！'他道：'我杀了你有什么用？又救不活我女儿了？'我吃了一惊，问道：'小师太死了吗？'他道：'这时候还没死，可也就差不多了。我在恒山见到她，她瘦得皮包骨头似的，见到我就哭，我慢慢问明白了她的事，原来都是给你害的。'我说：'你要杀便杀，田伯光生平光明磊落，不打谎语。我本想对你的小姐无礼，可是她给华山派的令狐冲救了，田某可没侵犯到你小姐，她仍是一位冰清玉洁的姑娘，不，是冰清玉洁的尼姑师太。'太师父道：'你奶奶的，冰清玉洁有什么用？我闺女生了相思病啦，倘若令狐冲不娶她，她便活不了。但我一提到这件事，我闺女便骂我，说什么出家人不可动凡心，否则菩萨要责怪，死后打入十八层地狱。'他说了一会，忽然揪住我头颈，骂我：'臭小子，都是你搞出来的事。那日若不是你对我女儿非礼，令狐冲便不会出手相救，我女儿就不致瘦成这个样子。'我道：'那倒不然。小师太美若天仙，当日我就算不对她无礼，令狐冲也必定会另借因头，上前去勾勾搭搭。'” 令狐冲皱眉道：“田兄，你这几句话可未免过分了。” 田伯光笑道：“对不起，这可得罪了。当时情势危急，我若不这么说，太师父决计不会放我。果然他一听之下，便即转怒为喜，说道：'臭小子，你自己想想，你一生做过多少坏事？要不是你非礼我女儿，老子早就将你脑袋捏扁了。'”令狐冲奇道：“你对他女儿无礼，他反而高兴？”田伯光道：“那也不是高兴，他赞我有眼光。”令狐冲不禁莞尔。 田伯光道：“太师父左手将我提在半空，右手打了我十七八个耳光，我给他打得晕了过去。他将我浸入小河之中，浸醒了我，说道：'我限你一个月之内，去请令狐冲到恒山来见我女儿，就算一时不能娶她，让他们说说情话，也是好的，我女儿的一条性命就可保得下来。师父有难，你做徒弟的怎可不救？'他点了我几处穴道，说是死穴，又逼我服了一剂毒药，说道倘若一个月之内邀得你去见小师太，便给解药，否则剧毒发作，无药可救。” 令狐冲这才恍然，当日田伯光到华山来邀自己下山，满腹难言之隐，什么都不肯明说，怎料到其间竟有这许多过节。 田伯光续道：“我到华山来邀你大驾，却给你打得一败涂地，只道这番再也性命难保，不料太师父放心不下，亲自带同小师太上华山找你，又给了我解药。我听你的劝，从此不再做采花奸淫的勾当。不过田伯光天生好色，女人是少不了的，反正身边金银有的是，要找荡妇淫娃、娼妓歌女，丝毫不是难事。半个月前，太师父又找到了我，说你做了恒山派掌门，却给人家背后讥笑，江湖上的名声不大好听，他老人家爱屋及乌，爱女及婿……” 令狐冲皱眉道：“田兄，这等无聊的话，以后可再也不能出口。” 田伯光道：“是，是。我只不过转述太师父的话而已。他说他老人家要投入恒山派，叫我跟着一起来，第一步他要代女收徒。我不肯答应，他老人家挥拳就打，我打是打不过，逃又逃不了，只好拜师。”说到这里，愁眉苦脸，神色甚是难看。 令狐冲道：“就算拜师，也不一定须做和尚。少林派不也有许多俗家弟子？” 田伯光摇头道：“太师父是另有道理的。他说：'你这人太也好色，入了恒山派，师伯师叔们都是美貌尼姑，那可大大不妥。须得斩草除根，方为上策。'他出手将我点倒，拉下我的裤子，提起刀来，就这么喀的一下，将我那话儿斩去了半截。” 令狐冲一惊，“啊”的一声，摇了摇头，虽觉此事甚惨，但想田伯光一生所害的良家妇女太多，那也是应得之报。 田伯光也摇了摇头，说道：“当时我便晕了过去。待得醒转，太师父已给我敷上了金创药，包好伤口，命我养了几日伤。跟着便逼我剃度，做了和尚，给我取个法名，叫做'不可不戒'。他说：'我已斩了你那话儿，你已干不得采花坏事，本来也不用做和尚。我叫你做和尚，取个'不可不戒'的法名，以便众所周知，那是为了恒山派的名声。本来嘛，做和尚的人，跟尼姑们混在一起，大大不妥，但打明招牌'不可不戒'，就不要紧了。'” 令狐冲微笑道：“你太师父倒挺细心，想得周到。”田伯光道：“太师父说：为了宝贝女儿，只好用尽心思，要救她一命。太师父要我向你说明此事，又要我请你别责怪我师父。”令狐冲奇道：“我为什么要责怪你师父？全没这回子事。” 田伯光道：“太师父说：每次见到我师父，她总更加瘦了一些，脸色也越来越坏，问起她时，她总是流泪，一句话不说。太师父说：定是你欺侮了她。”令狐冲惊道：“没有啊！我从来没重言重语说过你师父一句。再说，她什么都好，我怎会责骂她？” 田伯光道：“就是你从来没骂过她一句，因此我师父要哭了。”令狐冲道：“这个我可不明白了。”田伯光道：“太师父为了这件事，又狠狠打了我一顿。” 令狐冲搔了搔头，心想这不戒大师之胡缠瞎搅，与桃谷六仙实有异曲同工之妙。 田伯光道：“太师父说：他当年和太师母做了夫妻后，时时吵嘴，越骂得凶，越是恩爱。你不骂我师父，就是不想娶她为妻。” 令狐冲道：“这个……你师父是出家人，我可从来没想过这件事。”田伯光道：“我也这样说，太师父大大生气，便打了我一顿。他说：我太师母本来是尼姑，他为了要娶她，才做和尚。如果出家人不能做夫妻，世上怎会有我师父这人？如果世上没我师父，又怎会有我？”令狐冲忍不住好笑，心想你比仪琳小师妹年纪大得多，两桩事怎能拉扯在一起？田伯光又道：“太师父还说：如果你不是想娶我师父，干吗要做恒山派掌门？他说：恒山派尼姑虽多，可没一个比我师父更貌美的，人人差得远了！你不是为我师父，却又为了哪一个尼姑？” 令狐冲暗暗叫苦不迭，心想：“不戒大师当年为要娶一个尼姑为妻，才做和尚，他只道普天下人个个和他一般心肠。这句话如传了出去，岂不糟糕之至？” 田伯光苦笑道：“太师父问我：我师父是不是世上最美貌的女子。我说：'就算不是最美，那也是美得很了。'他一拳打落了我两枚牙齿，大发脾气，说道：'为什么不是最美？如果我女儿不美，你当日为什么意图对她非礼？令狐冲这小子为什么舍命救她？'我连忙说：'最美，最美。太师父你老人家生下来的姑娘，岂有不是天下最美貌之理？'他听了这话，这才高兴，大赞我眼光高明。” 令狐冲微笑道：“仪琳小师妹本来相貌甚美，那也难怪不戒大师夸耀。”田伯光喜道：“你也说我师父相貌甚美，那就好极啦。”令狐冲奇道：“为什么那就好极啦？”田伯光道：“太师父交了一件好差使给我，说道着落在我身上，要我设法叫你……叫你……”令狐冲道：“叫我什么？”田伯光笑道：“叫你做我的师公。” 令狐冲一呆，道：“田兄，不戒大师爱女之心，无微不至。然而这桩事情，你也明知是办不到的。”田伯光道：“是啊。我说那可难得很，说你曾为了神教的任大小姐，率众攻打少林寺。我说：'任大小姐的相貌虽及不上我师父的一成，可是令狐公子和她有缘，已给她迷上了，旁人那也没法可施。'令狐公子，在太师父面前，我不得不这么说，以便保得几枚牙齿来吃东西，你可别见怪。”令狐冲微笑道：“我自然明白。” 田伯光道：“太师你说：这件事他也知道，他说那很好办，想个法子将任大小姐杀了，不让你知道，那就成了。我忙说不可，倘若害死了任大小姐，令狐公子一定自杀。太师父道：'这也说得是。令狐冲这小子死了，我女儿要守活寡，岂不倒霉？这样吧，你去跟令狐冲这小子说，我女儿嫁给他做二房，也无不可。'我说：'太师父，你老人家的堂堂千金，岂可如此委屈？'他叹道：'你不知道，我这个姑娘如嫁不成令狐冲，早晚便死，定然活不久长。'他说到这里，突然流下泪来。唉，这是父女天性，真情流露，可不是假的。” 两人面面相对，都感尴尬。田伯光道：“令狐公子，太师父对我的吩咐我都对你说了。我知道这其中颇有难处，尤其你是恒山派掌门，更加犯忌。不过我劝你对我师父多说几句好话，让她高兴高兴，将来再瞧着办吧。” 令狐冲点头道：“是了。”想起这些日来每次见到仪琳，确是见她日渐瘦损，却原来是为相思所苦。仪琳对他情深一往，他如何不知？但她是出家人，又年纪幼小，料想这些闲情稍经时日，也便收拾起了，此后在仙霞岭上和她重逢，自闽至赣，始终没单独跟她说过什么话。此番上恒山来，更加大避嫌疑。自己名声早就不佳，于世人毁誉原不放在心上，可不能坏了恒山派的清名，是以除了向恒山女弟子传授剑法之外，平日极少和谁说什么闲话，往日装疯乔痴的小丑模样，更早已收得干干净净。此刻听田伯光说到往事，仪琳对自己的一番柔情，蓦地里涌上心头。
眼望着远处山头皑皑积雪，正自沉思，忽听得山道上有大群人喧哗之声。见性峰上向来清静，从无有人如此吵嚷，正诧异间，只听得脚步声响，数百人拥将上来，当先一人叫道：“恭喜令狐公子，你今日大喜啊！”这人又矮又肥，正是老头子。他身后计无施、祖千秋以及黄伯流、司马大、蓝凤凰、游迅、漠北双熊等一干人竟都到了。 令狐冲又惊又喜，忙迎上前去，说道：“在下受定闲师太遗命，只得前来执掌恒山派门户，没敢惊动众位朋友。怎地大伙儿都到了？” 这些人曾随令狐冲攻打少林寺，经过一场生死搏斗，已是患难之交。众人纷纷抢上，将他围在中间，十分亲热。老头子大声道：“大伙儿听得公子已将圣姑接了出来，人人都十分欢喜。公子出任恒山派掌门，此事早已轰传江湖，大伙儿今日若不上山道喜，可真该死之极了。”这些人豪迈爽快，三言两语之间，已笑成一片。 令狐冲自上恒山之后，对着一群尼姑、姑娘，说话行事，无不极尽拘束，此刻陡然间遇上这许多老友，自不胜之喜。 黄伯流道：“我们是不速之客，恒山派未必备有我们这批粗胚的饮食。酒食饭菜这就挑上山来了。”令狐冲喜道：“那再好也没有了。”心想：“这情景倒似当年五霸冈上的群豪大会。”说话之间，又有数百人上山。计无施笑道：“公子，咱们自己人不用客气。你那些斯斯文文的女弟子，也招呼不来我们这些浑人。大家自便最好。” 这时见性峰上已喧闹成一片。恒山众弟子绝未料到竟有这许多宾客到贺，均各兴奋。有些见多识广的老成弟子，察觉来贺的这些客人颇为不伦不类，虽有不少知名之士，却均是邪派高手，也有许多是绿林英雄、黑道豪客。恒山派门规素严，群弟子人人洁身自爱，纵然同是正教之士，也少交往。这些左道旁门的人物，向来对之绝不理睬，今日竟一窝蜂地拥上峰来。但眼见掌门人和他们抱腰拉手，神态亲热，也只得自己心下嘀咕而已。 到得午间，数百名汉子挑了鸡鸭牛羊、酒菜饭面来到峰上。令狐冲心想：“见性峰上供奉白衣观音，自已一做掌门人，便即大鱼大肉，杀猪宰羊，未免对不住恒山派历代祖宗。”当下命这些汉子在山腰间埋灶造饭。一阵阵酒肉香气飘将上来，群尼无不暗暗皱眉。 群豪用过中饭，团团在见性峰主庵前的旷地上坐定。令狐冲坐在西首之侧，数百名女弟子依着长幼之序，站在他身后，只待吉时一到，便行接任之礼。 忽听得丝竹声响，一群乐手吹着箫笛上峰。中间两名青衣老者大踏步走上前来，群豪中“咦、啊”之声四起，不少人站起身来。 左首青衣老者蜡黄面皮，朗声说道：“日月神教东方教主，委派两位长老贾布、上官云，前来祝贺令狐大侠荣任恒山派掌门。恭祝恒山派发扬光大，令狐掌门威震武林。” 此言一出，群豪都“啊”的一声，轰然叫了起来。 这些左道之士大半与魔教颇有瓜葛，其中还有人服了东方不败的'三尸脑神丹'，听到'东方教主'四字便即心惊胆战。群豪就算不识得这两个老者的，也都久闻其名，左首那人是'黄面尊者'贾布，右首那人复姓上官，单名一个云字，外号叫做'雕侠'。两人武功之高，据说远在一般寻常门派的掌门人与帮主、总舵主之上。两人在日月神教中的资历也不甚深，但近数年来教中变迁甚大，元老耆宿如向问天一类人或遭排斥，或自行退隐，眼前贾布与上官云是教中极有权势、极有头脸的第一流人物。这一次东方不败派他二人亲来，对令狐冲可说是给足面子了。 令狐冲上前相迎，说道：“在下与东方先生素不相识，有劳二位大驾，愧不敢当。”他见那“黄面尊者”贾布一张瘦脸蜡也似黄，两边太阳穴高高鼓起，便如藏了一枚核桃相似。那“雕侠”上官云长手长脚，双目精光烂然，甚有威势，足见二人内功均甚深厚。 贾布说道：“令狐大侠今日大喜，东方教主说道原该亲自前来道贺才是。只是教中俗务羁绊，难以分身，令狐掌门勿怪才好。” 令狐冲道：“不敢。”心想：“瞧东方不败这副排场，任教主自是尚未夺回教主之位，不知他和向大哥、盈盈三人现下怎样了？” 贾布侧过身来，左手一摆，说道：“一些薄礼，是东方教主的小小心意，请令狐掌门哂纳。”丝竹声中，百余名汉子抬了四十口朱漆大箱上来。每一口箱子都由四名壮汉抬着，瞧各人脚步沉重，箱子中所装物事着实不轻。 令狐冲忙道：“两位大驾光临，令狐冲已感荣宠，如此重礼，却万万不敢拜领。还请上覆东方先生，说道令狐冲多谢了，恒山弟子山居清苦，也不需用这些华贵的物事。” 贾布道：“令狐掌门若不笑纳，在下与上官兄弟可为难得紧了。”略略侧头，向上官云道：“上官兄弟，你说这话对不对？”上官云道：“正是！” 令狐冲心下为难：“恒山派是正教门派，和你魔教势同水火，就算双方不打架，也不能结交为友。再说，任教主和盈盈就要去跟东方不败算账，我怎能收你的礼物？”便道：“两位兄台请上复东方先生，所赐万万不敢收受。两位倘若不肯将原礼带回，在下只好遣人送到贵教总坛来了。” 贾布微微一笑，说道：“令狐掌门可知这四十口箱中，装的是什么物事？”令狐冲道：“在下自然不知。”贾布笑道：“令狐掌门看了之后，一定再也不会推却了。这四十口箱子中所装，其实也并非全是东方教主的礼物，有一部份原是该属令狐掌门所有，我们抬了来，只物归原主而已。”令狐冲大奇，道：“怎么会是我的东西？那是什么？”贾布踏上一步，低声道：“其中大多数是任大小姐留在黑木崖上的衣衫首饰和常用物事，东方教主命在下送来，以供任大小姐应用。另外也有一些，是教主送给令狐大侠和任大小姐的薄礼。许多物事混在一起，分也分不开，令狐掌门也不用客气了。哈哈，哈哈！” 令狐冲生性豁达随便，向来不拘小节，见东方不败送礼之意甚诚，其中又有许多是盈盈的衣物，却也不便坚拒，跟着哈哈一笑，说道：“如此便多谢了。” 只见一名女弟子快步过来，禀道：“武当派冲虚道长亲来道贺。”令狐冲吃了一惊，忙迎到峰前。只见冲虚道人带着八名弟子走上峰来。令狐冲躬身行礼，说道：“有劳道长大驾，令狐冲感激不尽。”冲虚道人笑道：“老弟荣任恒山掌门，贫道闻知，不胜之喜。少林寺方证、方生两位大师也要前来道贺，不知他们两位到了没有？”令狐冲更是惊讶。 便在此时，山道上走上来一群僧人，当先二人大袖飘飘，正是方证方丈和方生大师。方证叫道：“冲虚道兄，你脚程好快，可比我们先到了。” 令狐冲迎下山去，叫道：“两位大师亲临，令狐冲何以克当？”方生笑道：“少侠，你曾三入少林，我们到恒山来回拜一次，那也是礼尚往来啊。” 令狐冲将一众少林僧和武当道人迎上峰来。峰上群豪见少林、武当两
Linghu Chong and his party headed towards Mount Heng, and arrived at the foot of the mountain within a day. The disciples in the faction had already heard the news, and they all waited at the foot of the mountain, and they all bowed down when they saw Linghu Chong.Linghu Chong immediately returned the gift.Speaking of the death of the two masters Dingxian and Dingyi, everyone is sad.Linghu Chong saw that Yilin was among the disciples, looking haggard, don't come to see Qingjian, and asked: "Junior Sister Yilin, are you feeling unwell recently?" Yilin's eyes turned red, and said: "It's nothing." After a pause, he said again: "You have become our head, so you can no longer call me a junior sister." Along the way, Yihe and others called Linghu Chong to be the 'uncle master'.He told everyone to change their mouths, but everyone always refused, but now hearing Yilin shouting again, she said loudly: "All senior sisters and sisters, Linghu Chong has inherited the last order of the former head master of our sect, and came to take charge of the Hengshan sect. In fact, he has no virtue and incompetence, so he never dares to do it." All the disciples said: "It's really a great fortune for our sect to take on this important task." Linghu Chong said: "But everyone must agree to me." Yihe and others said. : "What orders does the master have, the disciples will obey them." Linghu Chong said: "I will only be your senior brother, but not my uncle." Yihe, Yiqing, Yizhen, Yiwen and other big disciples discussed in a low voice, and said back: "Since the master is so humble, he should obey his orders." Linghu Chong said happily: "It's very good." Now everyone went to Mount Heng.The main peak of Mount Heng is very high, although everyone walked quickly, it took more than half a day to reach the top of the peak of visibility.Wuse Nunnery, the main nunnery of the Hengshan School, is a small nunnery. There are more than 30 tile-roofed houses beside the nunnery, where disciples live.Linghu Chong saw that the Wuse Nunnery only went forward and backward, compared with the magnificent Shaolin Temple, it was like an ant compared to an elephant.When I came to the nunnery, I saw a white-clothed Avalokitesvara enshrined in the hall. The surrounding area was spotless and the furnishings were simple. Unexpectedly, the Hengshan School was so powerful that the main nunnery was so simple. After Linghu Chong kowtowed to the statue of Avalokitesvara, under the guidance of his sister-in-law, he came to Master Dingxian's daily retreat, but he saw that the walls were deserted, except for an old futon on the ground, and nothing else.Linghu Chong loves to liven up the most, loves to drink and eat, how can he clean up in this small room that is as quiet as still water?It would be too profane to bring wine jars, cooked dog legs, etc. to this quiet room, so he said to his sister-in-law: "Although I come to be the head of Hengshan, I will neither be a monk nor a nun. The sisters and sisters are all women, and it is inconvenient for me to live in this nunnery alone. Please vacate a room far away, and it will be more appropriate for me and the Six Immortals of Peach Valley to live there." Mrs. Yu said: "Yes. There are three big houses on the west side of the peak, which were originally guest rooms for the parents of female disciples of our sect to stay when they visit the peak. If the head of the school agrees, how about staying there temporarily? Let's do it separately Then build a new house for the head." Linghu Chong said happily: "That would be the best. There is no need to build another new residence." He pondered: "Am I going to be the head of the Hengshan School for the rest of my life? Once I find a suitable candidate in the school, as long as the group of disciples obey her, I will The headship was passed on to her immediately, and I patted my buttocks to walk, and went to the rivers and lakes to have fun. If there is any danger in the future, I will support the Hengshan Sect with all my strength." When I came to the Fengxi guest room, I saw that the mattresses, tables and chairs were similar to those of the rich peasants in the countryside. Although they were still crude, they were no longer as empty as the Wuse Nunnery. Mrs. Yu said: "Master, please sit down, I'll get you wine." Linghu Chong said joyfully, "Is there wine on this mountain?" He was overjoyed by this incident.Sister-in-law Yu smiled and said: "There is not only wine, but also good wine. Younger sister Yilin heard that the master is coming to Hengshan, and told me that if there is no good wine, I am afraid that you, the master, will not last long. We stayed overnight Send people down the mountain, and buy dozens of altars of good wine here." Linghu Chong was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Everyone in this school is poor, and it is too expensive for me alone, that is not justified." Yiqing smiled and said: "Then Although half of the silver that Hinata made from flaying was used to help the poor, there is still a lot left over; and after selling the dozens of official horses, the brother in charge will drink for ten or twenty years, and the money for the wine is enough." That night Linghu Chong and the Six Immortals of Peach Valley had a big drink.In the early morning of the next day, he discussed with Mrs. Yu, Yiqing, Yihe and others how to bring back the ashes of the two teachers and how to avenge the three teachers. Yiqing said: "Brother who is the head of the sect takes over this position, you have to announce that you are the same in the martial arts, and you have to send someone to inform Master Zuo, the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect." Yihe said angrily: "Bah, my master is his Songshan Sect These traitors killed the two master uncles, most likely they were the ones who killed them, why tell them what to do?" Yiqing said: "Etiquette is indispensable. Let's find out for sure, if the three masters are really from the Songshan School At that time, under the leadership of the sect master brother, we should question them in a big way." Linghu Chong nodded and said: "Senior Sister Yiqing is right. It's just that as the head of the sect, you can do what you want, but you don't need to perform any ceremony." I remember when my master took over as the head of Huashan when he was young, there were a lot of red tapes. There are countless martial arts fellows who came up the mountain to congratulate and watch the ceremony; and thinking of the Hengshan School Liu Zhengfeng'washing hands in a golden basin', Hengshan City is also full of heroes.The Hengshan faction is as famous as the Huashan and Hengshan factions, and if there are very few people who come to congratulate him as the head, it would be embarrassing. It's ridiculous. Yiqing understood his intentions and said: "Since the senior brother in charge doesn't want to disturb friends in the martial arts world, then it's okay to not invite guests to the mountain to watch the ceremony, but we have to set a date for the formal inauguration and let everyone know." Linghu Chong thought to himself that the Hengshan School is one of the Five Sacred Sword Schools, and if the appointment of the head is too hasty, it will damage the reputation of the Hengshan School, so he nodded in agreement. Yiqing took a calendar, flipped through it for a while, and said, "February 16th, March 8th, and March 27th, these three days are all auspicious days for the auspicious zodiac. Brother Sect Master, which day do you think is suitable? " Linghu Chong never believed in the auspicious days of the zodiac and the evil days of the underworld. He thought that the earlier the ceremony was held, the fewer people would go up the mountain to participate, and he would avoid a lot of embarrassment. He asked, "Are there any good days in the first month?" Yiqing said: "There are quite a few good days in the first month, but they are all good for traveling, breaking ground, getting married, opening a business, etc. It will be in February that it will be good for 'receiving seals and sitting in the government office'." Linghu Chong He said with a smile, "I'm not an official. What's the matter with receiving the seal and sitting in the government office?" Yihe said with a smile, "Didn't you have been a general? Being the head of the house is also receiving the seal." Linghu Chong didn't want to go against everyone's wishes, and said: "Since that's the case, let's set it on February 16th." Immediately, he sent his disciples to Shaolin Temple to bring back the ashes of the two masters, and distributed notices to all sects.He repeatedly warned the disciples who went down the mountain not to publicize the matter, and said: "Report to the heads of all sects that Master Dingxian has passed away, and the great revenge has not been avenged. All the disciples of Hengshan Sect are in mourning. It’s not a grand ceremony for the inauguration of the head, please don’t send people up the mountain to watch the ceremony and congratulate.” After dismissing the disciples who came down the mountain to summon the disciples, Linghu Chong thought to himself: "Since I am the head of Hengshan School, I have to study the swordsmanship and martial arts of the Hengshan School." Immediately, he summoned all the disciples who stayed on the mountain and ordered them to try it out Swordsmanship and martial arts, started from the basic skills of beginners, and finally the two big disciples Yihe and Yiqing dismantled their moves and performed the best moves in Hengshan swordsmanship. Linghu Chong saw that the Hengshan School's swordsmanship is dense and rigorous, good at defending, and often strikes at the most unexpected places, the swordsmanship is more than dense, but not sharp enough, it is suitable for women's martial arts.The masters of the Hengshan School in the past are all women, and they are not as powerful and ferocious as the martial arts practiced by men.But Hengshan swordsmanship can be said to be one of the swordsmanship with very few flaws. Ruoyan's strict defense is only inferior to Wudang school's "Taiji swordsmanship", but occasionally he makes offensive moves suddenly, but it is still in the "Taiji swordsmanship". above.The Hengshan faction is outstanding in the martial arts world, and has its own uniqueness. He thought to himself that on the rock wall of the cave behind Siguo Cliff in Mount Hua, he had seen Hengshan's swordsmanship engraved on it. The skill of changing moves is far superior to the swordsmanship of Yihe and Yiqing.But even that set of sword skills has been broken by others, the Hengshan faction needs to improve their basic sword skills if they want to flourish in the martial arts in the future.I also remembered that I saw Master Dingjing fight with others, his internal strength is strong, and his moves are sophisticated, far beyond the reach of Yihe and other disciples. I heard that Master Dingxian's martial arts are even higher. It seems that the kung fu of the three senior masters is not as good More than half of them have not been learned by the disciples.The three masters passed away one after another within a few months, many exquisite kung fu of the Hengshan School may be lost. Seeing him in a daze, Yihe was noncommittal about the swordsmanship of the disciples, so he said: "Senior brother, our swordsmanship is not impressive to you, please give me some pointers." Linghu Chong said: "There is a set of Hengshan School's swordsmanship, I wonder if the three masters have passed it on to you?" Taking the sword from Yihe's hand, he used the Hengshan School's swordplay engraved on the stone wall with one move.He made it very slowly so that all the disciples could see it clearly. Even without counting the moves, the group of disciples applauded loudly, but seeing that each move contained the essence of this school's swordsmanship, but the changes were amazing, and it was far superior to every set of swordsmanship he had learned before. How much, every move and every move, everyone can see the blood rushing and feel refreshed.This set of sword moves is engraved on the stone wall, and they are dead. When Linghu Chong uses them, he connects each move together, and the transitions and coherence will inevitably add some new ideas created by himself.After using a set of sword techniques, the group of disciples burst into applause, all of them were overjoyed, and bowed in worship. Yihe said: "Senior brother, this is obviously our Hengshan school's sword technique, but we have never seen it before. I'm afraid the master and the two uncles don't know it. I don't know where you learned it from?" Linghu Chong said: " I saw it on the stone wall in a cave. If you are willing to learn, how about I pass it on to you?" The group of disciples were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly. This day Linghu Chong taught them three moves, explained the secrets of these three moves in detail, and ordered each disciple to practice by themselves. Although there are only three moves in swordsmanship, these three moves are broad and profound, even big disciples like Yihe and Yiqing need seven or eight days of hard work to understand the essence of them. As for Zheng E, Yilin, Qin Juan and others, more difficult to comprehend.On the ninth day, Linghu Chong taught them two more sword techniques.This set of swordsmanship on the stone wall does not have many moves, but it took more than a month to teach them roughly. As for whether they can master it or not, it depends on each person's cultivation and understanding. In the past month or so, all the disciples who went down the mountain to send messages returned to the mountain one after another, most of them looked unhappy, and spoke hesitantly when they reported to Linghu Chong.Linghu Chong knew that they must be ridiculed and humiliated, saying that they are a group of nuns, but they want a man to be the head of the sect, so he didn't ask carefully, so he just said a few words of comfort, asking them to learn the sword skills from their senior sisters respectively. If you don't know, please give pointers yourself. The letter sent by Huashan was sent by two mature and prudent people, sister-in-law and Yiwen.Huashan and Hengshan are not far away, so they should return early, but the disciples who sent letters to the south have all returned to the mountain, Yusao and Yiwen have never returned.Seeing that the general will be on the 16th of February, Yusao and Yiwen are still nowhere to be seen, so he sent two more disciples, Yiguang and Yikong, to meet him. The group of disciples expected that no one from each sect or faction would go up to the mountain to congratulate and watch the ceremony, and they did not prepare food and accommodation for the guests. They only weeded and washed the ground, cleaned dozens of houses, and everyone sewed new clothes and shoes.Zheng E and others sewed a black cloth robe for Linghu Chong, to be worn when he takes over the post.Mount Heng is the northern one of the five mountains, and its color is still black.
In the early morning of February 16th, Linghu Chong got up and came out, only to see lanterns and festoons hanging in front of every house on Xingfeng Peak, decorated in a joyous manner.A group of female disciples are careful, and even the smallest details are arranged very properly.Linghu Chong was ashamed and grateful, and said in his heart: "Because of me, the two mistresses died miserably because of me. Instead of blaming me, they valued me so much. If Linghu Chong can't avenge the three mistresses, he should send a good job for Hengshan. A lot of hard work is really in vain." Suddenly, someone shouted from behind the mountain col: "A Lin, A Lin, your father saw you coming, how are you? A Lin, your father is coming!" The voice was so loud that it shook the valley echoing endlessly: "Ah! Lin... Arlene... your father... your father..." When Yilin heard the cry, she rushed out of the nunnery and called out, "Daddy, Daddy!" A burly monk came out from behind the col, it was Yilin's father, monk Bujie, and there was another monk behind him.The two walked very fast, and they had already approached in a short while.Monk Bujie said loudly: "Mr. Linghu, you survived the serious injury and became my daughter's head. That's very good." Linghu Chong laughed and said, "It's thanks to Master." Yilin stepped forward, held her father's hand, she was very affectionate, and said with a smile: "Father, you know today is a good day for Senior Brother Linghu to take over as the head of the Hengshan School, so come to congratulate me?" Bujie smiled and said: "There's no need to congratulate, I'm here to join Hengshan Sect. We are our own people, so why congratulate?" Linghu Chong was slightly startled, and asked: "Master, is he going to join the Hengshan School?" He said without hesitation: "Yes. My daughter is from the Hengshan School, and I am her father, so naturally I am also from the Hengshan School. His grandma's, I heard people laugh at you, He said that you are a big man, but you came to be the head of a group of nuns and girls. His grandma, they don't know that you are sentimental and have ulterior motives..." He smiled happily, looked at his daughter After taking a look, he said again: "I knocked out all his teeth with one punch, and shouted: 'You kid, you know nothing! Why are the Hengshan sect full of nuns and women? I belong to the Hengshan sect. Although I shaved my head, Do you see that I am a nun? I will show you by unbuttoning my pants!' I stretched out my hand and unbuttoned my pants, this kid turned around and ran away in fright, haha, haha!" Both Linghu Chong and Yilin laughed loudly.Yilin smiled and said: "Daddy, you are so rude, you are not afraid of being laughed at!" He didn't quit and said: "If you don't show him clearly, I'm afraid this kid doesn't know whether I am a nun or a monk. Brother Linghu, I joined the Hengshan School myself, and I brought a disciple and grandson here. You must stop, see Linghu's palm Door." When he was talking, the monk who followed him up the mountain turned his back all the way, not facing Linghu Chong and Yilin, but now he turned around, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and smiled at Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong only felt that the monk looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was at the moment. After a while, he realized that he was actually Tian Boguang who was alone in thousands of miles. ?” That monk is Tian Boguang.He smiled wryly, bowed to Yilin, and said, "See...see Master." Yilin was also extremely surprised, and asked: "You...how did you become a monk? Is it a fake?" Master Bujie was complacent, and said with a smile: "It's genuine, it's not deceiving, and it's indeed a monk. You must not not quit, what is your Dharma name, tell your master." Tian Boguang smiled bitterly: "Master, Grand Master gave I took a Dharma name called 'You must quit'." Yilin wondered, "What is 'You must quit', how can there be such a long name?" Bujie said: "What do you know? The names of Bodhisattvas in Buddhist scriptures can be as long as they want. 'Great Mercy and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva', isn't the name long? His name is only four characters, how can it be long?" Yilin He nodded and said: "I see. How did he become a monk? Dad, did you accept him as an apprentice?" Bujie said: "No. He is your apprentice, and I am his patriarch. But you are a little nun, he If I worship you as my teacher, if I don't become a monk, the reputation of the Hengshan Sect will be affected. So I persuaded him to become a monk." Yilin laughed and said, "Why persuade him? Daddy, you must force him to become a monk, don't you?" Bujie said: "He is voluntary, and he cannot be forced to become a monk. This person is good in everything, but he is not good, so I gave him a Dharma name called 'must not quit'." Yilin's face flushed slightly, and she understood her father's intentions.Tian Boguang is greedy and lustful, he was caught by her father somehow before, and he was spared, but many strange punishments were imposed on him, this time he was forced to become a monk again. Just listen to Bujie loudly: "My law is called Bujie, and I don't abide by any rules and regulations. But this Tian Boguang has done too many bad things in the Jianghu. If he doesn't quit this bad thing, how can he be your disciple? Disciple? Young Master Linghu doesn't like it either. He will pass on my mantle in the future, so his Dharma name should also have the word 'Bujie'." Suddenly I heard a person say: "Monk Bujie and you must join the Hengshan Sect, and we Peach Valley Six Immortals will also join the Hengshan Sect." Taogen Xiandao: "We were the first to meet Linghu Chong, so the six of us are senior senior brothers, and Monk Bujie is junior junior brother." Linghu Chong thought to himself: "Since the Hengshan School has Master Bujie and Tian Boguang, we might as well change it to the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, so that the world will not say that Linghu Chong is the head of a group of nuns and girls." He said: "The six Tao brothers are willing to join the Hengshan School. That couldn't be better. Seniors and seniors are too troublesome to line up, so everyone can avoid it!" Immortal Taoye suddenly said: "A disciple who does not quit is called must not quit. If you must not quit in the future, what is the name of the Dharma?" It can be called 'Of course you must quit'." Taozhixian asked: "Then what is the name of the Dharma name for the disciple of 'Of course you must quit'?" Seeing Tian Boguang's awkward situation, Linghu Chong raised his hand and said, "I have a few words to ask you." Tian Boguang said, "Yes." His Dharma name can be called 'Of course you must abstain'." Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Then what is the Dharma name for the disciple of 'Of course you must abstain'?" Peach Root Immortal said: "I can't add it to the top, so I have to add it to the bottom. It's called 'It's a matter of course, but it's inevitable'." Tian Boguang smiled wryly and said: "Master Linghu, I was forced by the grand master that day, and I came to Huashan to invite you to see the little master. The whole process is really hard to describe." Linghu Chong said: "I only know that he forced you to take the poison. , and lied to you about your death spot." Tian Boguang said: "We have to start from the beginning. That day, we had a fight with Yu Aizi outside the Qunyu Courtyard in Hengshan. He thought that there were too many good players on the Baidao in Hunan, so he couldn't stay longer, so he went north to Henan. Today I’m ashamed to say that my old problem broke out, and I touched the boudoir of a wealthy lady in the dark night of Kaifeng Mansion. I lifted the gauze curtain, stretched out my hand to touch it, and found a bald head.” Linghu Chong laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, she is a nun." Tian Boguang smiled wryly: "No, she is a monk." Linghu Chong laughed loudly and said: "A monk fell asleep in the quilt under the lady's embroidered quilt. Unexpectedly, this lady stole a man, but she stole it." It's a monk." Tian Boguang shook his head and said: "No! That monk is the Grand Master. It turns out that the Grand Master has been looking for me, and finally got a clue and found the Kaifeng mansion. I step on the plates near this family's house during the day, and let the Grand Master see The old man guessed that I had bad intentions, so he told the family and told the lady to hide, and the old man slept on the bed and waited for me." Linghu Chong said with a smile: "Brother Tian suffered a lot just now." Tian Boguang smiled wryly and said: "Does that matter? As soon as I reached out and touched Grand Master's head, I knew something was wrong. Then I felt a numbness in my lower abdomen, and it was already dead. The acupuncture point was tapped. Tai Shifu jumped out of bed, lit the lamp, and asked me whether I should die or live. I knew that I had done a lot of evil in my life, and one day I would be punished, so I immediately said, "I want to die!" Tai Shifu was very surprised and asked Me: "Why do you have to die?" I said: "I was accidentally restrained by you, can I still want to live?" Tai Shifu's face was serious, and he said angrily: "You said that you accidentally restrained me, it would be like if Be careful, so you won't be restrained by me. Good!' He said the word 'good', and he untied my acupuncture points as soon as he stretched out his hand. "I sat down and asked, 'What are your orders?' He said, 'You have a knife, why didn't you cut at me? You were born with feet, why didn't you jump out of the window and escape?' I said, 'A man named Tian Big man, are you such a shameless villain?" He laughed and said, "Aren't you a shameless villain? Why did you promise to worship my daughter as a teacher?" I was very surprised and asked, "Your daughter?" He said: "On that restaurant, you made a bet with the young man of the Chinese school, and said that if you lose, you will worship my daughter as your teacher. Is that false? I will go to Hengshan to meet my daughter, and she will be one by one."十，从头至尾地都跟我说了。'我道：'原来如此。那个小尼姑是你大和尚的女儿，那倒奇了。'他道：'有什么奇怪了？'我自然说不出。” 令狐冲笑道：“这件事本来颇为奇怪。人家是生了儿女再做和尚，不戒大师却是做了和尚再生女儿，他法名叫做不戒，便是什么清规戒律都不遵守之意。” 田伯光道：“是。当时我说：'打赌之事，乃是戏言，又如何当得真？这场打赌是我输了，那不错，我再也不去骚扰那位小师太，也就是了。'太师父道：'那不行。你说过要拜师，一定得拜师。你非拜我女儿为师不可。我可不能生了个女儿，却让人欺侮。我一路上找你，功夫花得着实不小。你这小子滑溜得紧，你如不再干这采花的勾当，要捉到你可还真不容易。'我见他纠缠不清，当下一个'倒踩三叠云'，从窗口中跳了出去。在下自以为轻功了得，太师父定然追赶不上，不料只听得背后脚步声响，太师父直追了下来。我叫道：'大和尚，刚才你没杀我，我此刻也不杀你。你再追来，我可要不客气了。' “太师父哈哈笑道：'你怎生不客气？'我拔刀转身，向他砍了过去。但太师父的武功也真高强，他以一双肉掌和我拆招，封得我的快刀没法递进招去，拆到四十招后，他一把抓住我后颈，跟着又将我单刀夺了下来，问我：'服了没有？'我说：'服了，你杀了我吧！'他道：'我杀了你有什么用？又救不活我女儿了？'我吃了一惊，问道：'小师太死了吗？'他道：'这时候还没死，可也就差不多了。我在恒山见到她，她瘦得皮包骨头似的，见到我就哭，我慢慢问明白了她的事，原来都是给你害的。'我说：'你要杀便杀，田伯光生平光明磊落，不打谎语。我本想对你的小姐无礼，可是她给华山派的令狐冲救了，田某可没侵犯到你小姐，她仍是一位冰清玉洁的姑娘，不，是冰清玉洁的尼姑师太。'太师父道：'你奶奶的，冰清玉洁有什么用？我闺女生了相思病啦，倘若令狐冲不娶她，她便活不了。但我一提到这件事，我闺女便骂我，说什么出家人不可动凡心，否则菩萨要责怪，死后打入十八层地狱。'他说了一会，忽然揪住我头颈，骂我：'臭小子，都是你搞出来的事。那日若不是你对我女儿非礼，令狐冲便不会出手相救，我女儿就不致瘦成这个样子。'我道：'那倒不然。小师太美若天仙，当日我就算不对她无礼，令狐冲也必定会另借因头，上前去勾勾搭搭。'” 令狐冲皱眉道：“田兄，你这几句话可未免过分了。” 田伯光笑道：“对不起，这可得罪了。当时情势危急，我若不这么说，太师父决计不会放我。果然他一听之下，便即转怒为喜，说道：'臭小子，你自己想想，你一生做过多少坏事？要不是你非礼我女儿，老子早就将你脑袋捏扁了。'”令狐冲奇道：“你对他女儿无礼，他反而高兴？”田伯光道：“那也不是高兴，他赞我有眼光。”令狐冲不禁莞尔。 田伯光道：“太师父左手将我提在半空，右手打了我十七八个耳光，我给他打得晕了过去。他将我浸入小河之中，浸醒了我，说道：'我限你一个月之内，去请令狐冲到恒山来见我女儿，就算一时不能娶她，让他们说说情话，也是好的，我女儿的一条性命就可保得下来。师父有难，你做徒弟的怎可不救？'他点了我几处穴道，说是死穴，又逼我服了一剂毒药，说道倘若一个月之内邀得你去见小师太，便给解药，否则剧毒发作，无药可救。” 令狐冲这才恍然，当日田伯光到华山来邀自己下山，满腹难言之隐，什么都不肯明说，怎料到其间竟有这许多过节。 田伯光续道：“我到华山来邀你大驾，却给你打得一败涂地，只道这番再也性命难保，不料太师父放心不下，亲自带同小师太上华山找你，又给了我解药。我听你的劝，从此不再做采花奸淫的勾当。不过田伯光天生好色，女人是少不了的，反正身边金银有的是，要找荡妇淫娃、娼妓歌女，丝毫不是难事。半个月前，太师父又找到了我，说你做了恒山派掌门，却给人家背后讥笑，江湖上的名声不大好听，他老人家爱屋及乌，爱女及婿……” 令狐冲皱眉道：“田兄，这等无聊的话，以后可再也不能出口。” 田伯光道：“是，是。我只不过转述太师父的话而已。他说他老人家要投入恒山派，叫我跟着一起来，第一步他要代女收徒。我不肯答应，他老人家挥拳就打，我打是打不过，逃又逃不了，只好拜师。”说到这里，愁眉苦脸，神色甚是难看。 令狐冲道：“就算拜师，也不一定须做和尚。少林派不也有许多俗家弟子？” 田伯光摇头道：“太师父是另有道理的。他说：'你这人太也好色，入了恒山派，师伯师叔们都是美貌尼姑，那可大大不妥。须得斩草除根，方为上策。'他出手将我点倒，拉下我的裤子，提起刀来，就这么喀的一下，将我那话儿斩去了半截。” 令狐冲一惊，“啊”的一声，摇了摇头，虽觉此事甚惨，但想田伯光一生所害的良家妇女太多，那也是应得之报。 田伯光也摇了摇头，说道：“当时我便晕了过去。待得醒转，太师父已给我敷上了金创药，包好伤口，命我养了几日伤。跟着便逼我剃度，做了和尚，给我取个法名，叫做'不可不戒'。他说：'我已斩了你那话儿，你已干不得采花坏事，本来也不用做和尚。我叫你做和尚，取个'不可不戒'的法名，以便众所周知，那是为了恒山派的名声。本来嘛，做和尚的人，跟尼姑们混在一起，大大不妥，但打明招牌'不可不戒'，就不要紧了。'” 令狐冲微笑道：“你太师父倒挺细心，想得周到。”田伯光道：“太师父说：为了宝贝女儿，只好用尽心思，要救她一命。太师父要我向你说明此事，又要我请你别责怪我师父。”令狐冲奇道：“我为什么要责怪你师父？全没这回子事。” 田伯光道：“太师父说：每次见到我师父，她总更加瘦了一些，脸色也越来越坏，问起她时，她总是流泪，一句话不说。太师父说：定是你欺侮了她。”令狐冲惊道：“没有啊！我从来没重言重语说过你师父一句。再说，她什么都好，我怎会责骂她？” 田伯光道：“就是你从来没骂过她一句，因此我师父要哭了。”令狐冲道：“这个我可不明白了。”田伯光道：“太师父为了这件事，又狠狠打了我一顿。” 令狐冲搔了搔头，心想这不戒大师之胡缠瞎搅，与桃谷六仙实有异曲同工之妙。 田伯光道：“太师父说：他当年和太师母做了夫妻后，时时吵嘴，越骂得凶，越是恩爱。你不骂我师父，就是不想娶她为妻。” 令狐冲道：“这个……你师父是出家人，我可从来没想过这件事。”田伯光道：“我也这样说，太师父大大生气，便打了我一顿。他说：我太师母本来是尼姑，他为了要娶她，才做和尚。如果出家人不能做夫妻，世上怎会有我师父这人？如果世上没我师父，又怎会有我？”令狐冲忍不住好笑，心想你比仪琳小师妹年纪大得多，两桩事怎能拉扯在一起？田伯光又道：“太师父还说：如果你不是想娶我师父，干吗要做恒山派掌门？他说：恒山派尼姑虽多，可没一个比我师父更貌美的，人人差得远了！你不是为我师父，却又为了哪一个尼姑？” 令狐冲暗暗叫苦不迭，心想：“不戒大师当年为要娶一个尼姑为妻，才做和尚，他只道普天下人个个和他一般心肠。这句话如传了出去，岂不糟糕之至？” 田伯光苦笑道：“太师父问我：我师父是不是世上最美貌的女子。我说：'就算不是最美，那也是美得很了。'他一拳打落了我两枚牙齿，大发脾气，说道：'为什么不是最美？如果我女儿不美，你当日为什么意图对她非礼？令狐冲这小子为什么舍命救她？'我连忙说：'最美，最美。太师父你老人家生下来的姑娘，岂有不是天下最美貌之理？'他听了这话，这才高兴，大赞我眼光高明。” 令狐冲微笑道：“仪琳小师妹本来相貌甚美，那也难怪不戒大师夸耀。”田伯光喜道：“你也说我师父相貌甚美，那就好极啦。”令狐冲奇道：“为什么那就好极啦？”田伯光道：“太师父交了一件好差使给我，说道着落在我身上，要我设法叫你……叫你……”令狐冲道：“叫我什么？”田伯光笑道：“叫你做我的师公。” 令狐冲一呆，道：“田兄，不戒大师爱女之心，无微不至。然而这桩事情，你也明知是办不到的。”田伯光道：“是啊。我说那可难得很，说你曾为了神教的任大小姐，率众攻打少林寺。我说：'任大小姐的相貌虽及不上我师父的一成，可是令狐公子和她有缘，已给她迷上了，旁人那也没法可施。'令狐公子，在太师父面前，我不得不这么说，以便保得几枚牙齿来吃东西，你可别见怪。”令狐冲微笑道：“我自然明白。” 田伯光道：“太师你说：这件事他也知道，他说那很好办，想个法子将任大小姐杀了，不让你知道，那就成了。我忙说不可，倘若害死了任大小姐，令狐公子一定自杀。太师父道：'这也说得是。令狐冲这小子死了，我女儿要守活寡，岂不倒霉？这样吧，你去跟令狐冲这小子说，我女儿嫁给他做二房，也无不可。'我说：'太师父，你老人家的堂堂千金，岂可如此委屈？'他叹道：'你不知道，我这个姑娘如嫁不成令狐冲，早晚便死，定然活不久长。'他说到这里，突然流下泪来。唉，这是父女天性，真情流露，可不是假的。” 两人面面相对，都感尴尬。田伯光道：“令狐公子，太师父对我的吩咐我都对你说了。我知道这其中颇有难处，尤其你是恒山派掌门，更加犯忌。不过我劝你对我师父多说几句好话，让她高兴高兴，将来再瞧着办吧。” 令狐冲点头道：“是了。”想起这些日来每次见到仪琳，确是见她日渐瘦损，却原来是为相思所苦。仪琳对他情深一往，他如何不知？但她是出家人，又年纪幼小，料想这些闲情稍经时日，也便收拾起了，此后在仙霞岭上和她重逢，自闽至赣，始终没单独跟她说过什么话。此番上恒山来，更加大避嫌疑。自己名声早就不佳，于世人毁誉原不放在心上，可不能坏了恒山派的清名，是以除了向恒山女弟子传授剑法之外，平日极少和谁说什么闲话，往日装疯乔痴的小丑模样，更早已收得干干净净。此刻听田伯光说到往事，仪琳对自己的一番柔情，蓦地里涌上心头。
眼望着远处山头皑皑积雪，正自沉思，忽听得山道上有大群人喧哗之声。见性峰上向来清静，从无有人如此吵嚷，正诧异间，只听得脚步声响，数百人拥将上来，当先一人叫道：“恭喜令狐公子，你今日大喜啊！”这人又矮又肥，正是老头子。他身后计无施、祖千秋以及黄伯流、司马大、蓝凤凰、游迅、漠北双熊等一干人竟都到了。 令狐冲又惊又喜，忙迎上前去，说道：“在下受定闲师太遗命，只得前来执掌恒山派门户，没敢惊动众位朋友。怎地大伙儿都到了？” 这些人曾随令狐冲攻打少林寺，经过一场生死搏斗，已是患难之交。众人纷纷抢上，将他围在中间，十分亲热。老头子大声道：“大伙儿听得公子已将圣姑接了出来，人人都十分欢喜。公子出任恒山派掌门，此事早已轰传江湖，大伙儿今日若不上山道喜，可真该死之极了。”这些人豪迈爽快，三言两语之间，已笑成一片。 令狐冲自上恒山之后，对着一群尼姑、姑娘，说话行事，无不极尽拘束，此刻陡然间遇上这许多老友，自不胜之喜。 黄伯流道：“我们是不速之客，恒山派未必备有我们这批粗胚的饮食。酒食饭菜这就挑上山来了。”令狐冲喜道：“那再好也没有了。”心想：“这情景倒似当年五霸冈上的群豪大会。”说话之间，又有数百人上山。计无施笑道：“公子，咱们自己人不用客气。你那些斯斯文文的女弟子，也招呼不来我们这些浑人。大家自便最好。” 这时见性峰上已喧闹成一片。恒山众弟子绝未料到竟有这许多宾客到贺，均各兴奋。有些见多识广的老成弟子，察觉来贺的这些客人颇为不伦不类，虽有不少知名之士，却均是邪派高手，也有许多是绿林英雄、黑道豪客。恒山派门规素严，群弟子人人洁身自爱，纵然同是正教之士，也少交往。这些左道旁门的人物，向来对之绝不理睬，今日竟一窝蜂地拥上峰来。但眼见掌门人和他们抱腰拉手，神态亲热，也只得自己心下嘀咕而已。 到得午间，数百名汉子挑了鸡鸭牛羊、酒菜饭面来到峰上。令狐冲心想：“见性峰上供奉白衣观音，自已一做掌门人，便即大鱼大肉，杀猪宰羊，未免对不住恒山派历代祖宗。”当下命这些汉子在山腰间埋灶造饭。一阵阵酒肉香气飘将上来，群尼无不暗暗皱眉。 群豪用过中饭，团团在见性峰主庵前的旷地上坐定。令狐冲坐在西首之侧，数百名女弟子依着长幼之序，站在他身后，只待吉时一到，便行接任之礼。 忽听得丝竹声响，一群乐手吹着箫笛上峰。中间两名青衣老者大踏步走上前来，群豪中“咦、啊”之声四起，不少人站起身来。 左首青衣老者蜡黄面皮，朗声说道：“日月神教东方教主，委派两位长老贾布、上官云，前来祝贺令狐大侠荣任恒山派掌门。恭祝恒山派发扬光大，令狐掌门威震武林。” 此言一出，群豪都“啊”的一声，轰然叫了起来。 这些左道之士大半与魔教颇有瓜葛，其中还有人服了东方不败的'三尸脑神丹'，听到'东方教主'四字便即心惊胆战。群豪就算不识得这两个老者的，也都久闻其名，左首那人是'黄面尊者'贾布，右首那人复姓上官，单名一个云字，外号叫做'雕侠'。两人武功之高，据说远在一般寻常门派的掌门人与帮主、总舵主之上。两人在日月神教中的资历也不甚深，但近数年来教中变迁甚大，元老耆宿如向问天一类人或遭排斥，或自行退隐，眼前贾布与上官云是教中极有权势、极有头脸的第一流人物。这一次东方不败派他二人亲来，对令狐冲可说是给足面子了。 令狐冲上前相迎，说道：“在下与东方先生素不相识，有劳二位大驾，愧不敢当。”他见那“黄面尊者”贾布一张瘦脸蜡也似黄，两边太阳穴高高鼓起，便如藏了一枚核桃相似。那“雕侠”上官云长手长脚，双目精光烂然，甚有威势，足见二人内功均甚深厚。 贾布说道：“令狐大侠今日大喜，东方教主说道原该亲自前来道贺才是。只是教中俗务羁绊，难以分身，令狐掌门勿怪才好。” 令狐冲道：“不敢。”心想：“瞧东方不败这副排场，任教主自是尚未夺回教主之位，不知他和向大哥、盈盈三人现下怎样了？” 贾布侧过身来，左手一摆，说道：“一些薄礼，是东方教主的小小心意，请令狐掌门哂纳。”丝竹声中，百余名汉子抬了四十口朱漆大箱上来。每一口箱子都由四名壮汉抬着，瞧各人脚步沉重，箱子中所装物事着实不轻。 令狐冲忙道：“两位大驾光临，令狐冲已感荣宠，如此重礼，却万万不敢拜领。还请上覆东方先生，说道令狐冲多谢了，恒山弟子山居清苦，也不需用这些华贵的物事。” 贾布道：“令狐掌门若不笑纳，在下与上官兄弟可为难得紧了。”略略侧头，向上官云道：“上官兄弟，你说这话对不对？”上官云道：“正是！” 令狐冲心下为难：“恒山派是正教门派，和你魔教势同水火，就算双方不打架，也不能结交为友。再说，任教主和盈盈就要去跟东方不败算账，我怎能收你的礼物？”便道：“两位兄台请上复东方先生，所赐万万不敢收受。两位倘若不肯将原礼带回，在下只好遣人送到贵教总坛来了。” 贾布微微一笑，说道：“令狐掌门可知这四十口箱中，装的是什么物事？”令狐冲道：“在下自然不知。”贾布笑道：“令狐掌门看了之后，一定再也不会推却了。这四十口箱子中所装，其实也并非全是东方教主的礼物，有一部份原是该属令狐掌门所有，我们抬了来，只物归原主而已。”令狐冲大奇，道：“怎么会是我的东西？那是什么？”贾布踏上一步，低声道：“其中大多数是任大小姐留在黑木崖上的衣衫首饰和常用物事，东方教主命在下送来，以供任大小姐应用。另外也有一些，是教主送给令狐大侠和任大小姐的薄礼。许多物事混在一起，分也分不开，令狐掌门也不用客气了。哈哈，哈哈！” 令狐冲生性豁达随便，向来不拘小节，见东方不败送礼之意甚诚，其中又有许多是盈盈的衣物，却也不便坚拒，跟着哈哈一笑，说道：“如此便多谢了。” 只见一名女弟子快步过来，禀道：“武当派冲虚道长亲来道贺。”令狐冲吃了一惊，忙迎到峰前。只见冲虚道人带着八名弟子走上峰来。令狐冲躬身行礼，说道：“有劳道长大驾，令狐冲感激不尽。”冲虚道人笑道：“老弟荣任恒山掌门，贫道闻知，不胜之喜。少林寺方证、方生两位大师也要前来道贺，不知他们两位到了没有？”令狐冲更是惊讶。 便在此时，山道上走上来一群僧人，当先二人大袖飘飘，正是方证方丈和方生大师。方证叫道：“冲虚道兄，你脚程好快，可比我们先到了。” 令狐冲迎下山去，叫道：“两位大师亲临，令狐冲何以克当？”方生笑道：“少侠，你曾三入少林，我们到恒山来回拜一次，那也是礼尚往来啊。” 令狐冲将一众少林僧和武当道人迎上峰来。峰上群豪见少林、武当两
