Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three Sword Competition
An old Daoist from the Taishan School said loudly: "As the head of the Five Sacred Mountains School, I have to elect a senior person who has both ability and integrity, and is well-known for his reputation. Is there any reason to take turns to do it?" In the midst of the noise, I could still hear clearly.
Taozhi Xiandao: "Possesses both ability and virtue, well-known reputation? In the martial arts, I think there is only the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Fangzheng, who is worthy of this horoscope."
Whenever the Taogu Six Immortals spoke, everyone around them laughed, and no one took them seriously, but at the moment Taozhixian mentioned Master Fangzheng's name, in an instant, thousands of people on the top of Songshan Mountain fell silent.Grandmaster Fangzheng is strong in martial arts, compassionate and chivalrous, and has always upheld justice in disputes in the martial arts. For decades, people have admired him, and the Shaolin sect is very powerful and is the largest sect in the martial arts. No one objected to the addition of the eight characters "to" on him.
Tao Genxian said loudly: "Abbot Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple, is he considered to have both ability and political integrity, and a reputation?" Thousands of people responded in unison: "It counts!" We, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, are expected by everyone, Master Fang Zheng is expected by everyone, that is even more popular. Since this is the case, we invite Master Fang Zheng to be the head of the Five Sacred Sect."
Many people from Songshan School and Taishan School shouted: "Nonsense! Master Fangzheng is the head of Shaolin School, what has it to do with our Five Sacred Mountains School?"
Tao Zhixian said: "Just now the Daoist said that he wanted to invite a senior master who has both ability and integrity and a reputation to be the head. I found one with great difficulty. Isn't Master Fangzheng both ability and integrity? Isn't it famous? Plain? Isn’t he a senior? You come to object. Could it be that Master Fangzheng has no virtue, no talent, no prestige, and his old man is a junior? It’s really unreasonable! Who dares to say that, don’t want him to be the head of the sect , I, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, will fight him desperately."
Tao Ganxian said: "Master Fangzheng has been the head of the sect for more than ten years, and the head of the Shaolin School can also do it. Why can't the head of the Five Sacred Sect do it? Could it be that the Wuyue Sect has surpassed the Shaolin Sect today? What kind of daring lunatic dares to say that Master Fang Zheng will not be the head of the sect, and is not worthy of being the head of the sect?"
Yu Jizi of the Taishan School frowned and said, "Master Fang Zheng is highly respected, everyone respects that, but today we are nominating the head of the Wuyue School. Master Fang Zheng is a distinguished guest, how can we bring him together ?”
Tao Ganxian said: "Master Fangzheng can't be the head of Wuyue School, according to you, it is because Shaolin School has nothing to do with Wuyue School." Yujizi said: "Exactly." Tao Ganxian said: "Why is Shaolin School and Wuyue School The sect has nothing to do with it? I said it has a lot to do with it! Which are the five sects of the Five Sacred Mountains?" Yu Jizi said: "Your Excellency asked the question knowingly. The Five Sacred Mountains are Songshan, Taishan, Huashan, Hengshan, and Hengshan five schools."
Taohuaxian and Taoshixian said in unison: "It's wrong, it's wrong! Mr. Zuo said just now, after the merger of the Five Sacred Sword Schools, the names of Songshan School and Taishan School no longer exist, why did you bring up the name of the Five Schools again?" Taoye Xiandao: "It shows that he never forgets the original sect, he is crazy about the sect, and whenever he has the opportunity, he will try to restore it. He wants to beat a good Wuyue sect to pieces, rebuild the glory of the Taishan sect, and watch the prestige of the peak all day long. .”
Many people among the heroes laughed out loud, thinking: "Don't look at the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, who are crazy, but if someone says half a sentence wrong, they will catch them immediately, and it will be difficult to get away again." Since the six immortals of Zhitaogu were able to speak since they were two or three years old, they have been arguing with each other endlessly, focusing on catching the loopholes in the brothers' speech, and they have been used to it for decades. The opponent of his six brothers?
Yujizi's face turned green and red for a while, and he said: "It's unlucky to have you six treasures in the Wuyue School."
Taohuaxian said: "You say that the Wuyue School is unlucky, but you look down on the Wuyue School and don't want to be part of the Wuyue School." Tao Shixian said: "On the first day when our Wuyue School established a school, you cursed him, saying that he was unlucky. In the future, the Five Sacred Sect will open up a large sect, and they will hold their heads high in the martial arts. They will compete with Shaolin and Wudang, and become a great sect admired by everyone in the world. Daoist Yuji, why don’t you have good intentions and say such unlucky words today? Tao Yexian said: "It shows that Taoist Yuji lives in Wuyue and his heart is in Taishan. I only hope that Wuyue faction will not succeed and fall a big somersault on the first day. With such hard work, how can my Wuyue faction tolerate him?"
Those who study martial arts in the Jianghu live a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife, and this auspicious omen is the most taboo.Everyone heard what the Taogu Six Immortals said, and they all felt that it was reasonable. Yujizi said that the Wuyue School was unlucky on this good day, and it was really wrong.Even Zuo Lengchan was quite dissatisfied with Yu Jizi's words.Yujizi knew he had said something wrong, so he kept silent and secretly annoyed.
Tao Ganxian said: "I said that Shaolin School is related to Songshan, but Taoist Yuji said it has nothing to do with it. Is it related or not? Are you right or I am right?" Taoist Yuji said angrily: "If you like to say that it is related, let it be considered related. " Tao Ganxian said: "Ha, the affairs of the world can't be explained in one word. Which mountain is Shaolin Temple in? Which mountain is Songshan School in?" Taohua Fairy said: "Shaolin Temple is in Shaoshi Mountain, and Songshan School is in Taishi Mountain , Shaoshi and Taishi belong to Songshan Mountain, don’t they? Why do you say that Shaolin School has nothing to do with Songshan Mountain?” This sentence is indeed not preposterous, and all the heroes nodded in unison.
Taozhi Xiandao: "Mr. Shicaiyue said that the merging of the factions can reduce the disputes in the rivers and lakes. That's why he favored the merger of the Five Sacred Sects. Neighbors, seeking to merge with each other. When it comes to geographical proximity, there is no more than Shaolin and Songshan. The two sects are in the same mountain. If the Shaolin and Songshan sects do not merge, then Mr. Yue’s words may be a bit close. ...let...let go of that...a kind of anger."
Hearing that he forcibly held back the word "fart", all the heroes laughed, but they all felt in their hearts that the merger of Shaolin School and Songshan School was unthinkable, but Tao Zhixian's words also made sense, following the Yue Buqun deduced it based on a lot of reason.Linghu Chong was secretly surprised: "The Six Immortals of Peach Valley are good at catching mistakes in other people's words, but I don't expect them to be able to say these words. But who is there to remind them?"
Tao Ganxian said: "Master Fangzheng is expected by everyone. Originally, everyone wanted to ask him to be the head of the Five Sacred Sects. But someone suggested that Master Fangzheng does not belong to the Five Sacred Sects. Then only the Shaolin Sect and the Five Sacred Sects need to be merged to form a "Shaolin Five Sacred Sacred Sect', Master Fang Zheng can become the head of this new school." Tao Genxian said: "Exactly. In today's world, there is no way to find a more suitable head than Master Fang Zheng Already." Tao Shixian said: "I, the Six Immortals of Tao Valley, obey Master Fangzheng, is there anyone else who is not convinced?"
Peach Blossom Immortal said: "If someone is not convinced, you might as well stand up and compete with me, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley. If you win the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, you might as well compete with Master Fangzheng. The masters of Motang, Luohantang, Discipline Institute, and Tibetan Scripture Pavilion compete. If you win the masters of Shaolin Dharma Hall, Luohan Hall, Discipline Academy, and Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, you can fight against the Wudang School. Daoist Chongxu competes..." Tao Shixian said: "Fifth Brother, why do you want to compete with Daoist Chongxu from Wudang School?" Tao Huaxian said: "The two leaders of Wudang School and Shaolin School are dead Friendship, common prosperity and humiliation. Someone defeated Master Fangzheng of the Shaolin School, how can the Daoist Chongxu of the Wudang School not come out?" Taoye Xiandao: "Exactly, not bad at all, defeating Wudang The head of the faction, Daoist Chongxu, will come to compete with us Peach Valley Six Immortals."
Peach Root Immortal said: "Hey, he has already fought with us Taogu Six Immortals, why do we want to compete again?" Fight, the ghost will linger, and fight with those stinky bastards again."
When the heroes heard this, they all laughed, some applauded strangely, and some followed suit.
Yujizi was so angry that he couldn't hold back anymore, he jumped out, put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and shouted: "The six monsters in Taogu, I, Yujizi, just refuse to accept it, and I want to compete with you." Taogenxian said: "All of us They are all members of the Wuyue School, and if they start fighting, isn't it killing each other?" Yu Jizi said: "You talk too much, and gods hate ghosts. The Wuyue School lost six of you, and everyone is so happy that their eyes are cool and their ears are clean. "Tao Ganxian said: "Okay, you press the hilt of the sword, and you have murderous intentions in your heart. You just want to pull out the sword, make six clicks, and chop off the heads of our six brothers?" Yujizi snorted. With a sound, he gave him a tacit consent, and the murderous look in his eyes became more intense.Taozhi Xiandao: "Today my five factions merged, and on the first day your Taishan branch of the Five Sacred Sect killed the six masters of my Hengshan branch. How can the Five Sacred Sect be able to work together and help each other?"
Yu Jizi thought that this was a good statement. If these six people were killed today, there would be endless disputes in the future. Someone in the Hengshan faction would avenge his six brothers. He suppressed his anger and said, "Since you know that you must work together and help each other , then you can’t say any more nonsense that will hinder the overall situation.” Pulled the long sword out of the scabbard for a few feet, swiped it, and put it back into the scabbard.
Taoye Xiandao: "What if it is a good word that is beneficial to the future of the Everbright Wuyue School and to all fellow martial arts?" Who will be the head of the faction? Is this matter related to the misfortune and fortune of my faction and fellow martial arts? My six brothers are earnestly trying to recommend a senior expert who is well-received by everyone to be the head. It's because of selfishness that I want to call the person who gave you three thousand taels of gold and four beauties to be the head." Yu Jizi was furious, and shouted: "Nonsense! Who said that someone gave me three thousand taels of gold, Four beauties?" Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Well, I misunderstood the number, and there are some, not three thousand taels, it must be four thousand taels. If it's not four beauties, then if it's not three, then it's five. Who are they? Here it is, don’t you know? Whoever you want to recommend as the head will be given to you.”
With a sound of swipe, Yuji pulled out his long sword and shouted: "If you talk nonsense again, I will make your blood splatter on the spot."
Peach Blossom Fairy laughed, walked towards him with her head held high, and said, "You killed the head of the Taishan School, Taoist Tianmen, with despicable means. Do you still want to continue to harm others? Taoist Tianmen has already been killed by you." Blood splashing on the spot, harming fellow disciples, is your forte. Now you and I are fellow disciples, so you can pour it on me and try." He said and walked towards Yujizi step by step.
Yujizi stretched out his long sword and shouted sharply: "Stop, if you take another step forward, I won't be polite." Peach Blossom Fairy said with a smile: "Are you very polite to me now? It's not your Yujizi's private land, I want to take a big step, go east and west, and you can control me?" Then he took a few steps forward, and the distance between Yujizi and Yujizi was only a few feet away.
Yu Jizi saw his ugly long horse face, showing a pair of scorched teeth, grinning, feeling disgusted, he straightened his long sword, and with a hissing sound, he stabbed at Peach Blossom Fairy's chest.
Peach Blossom Immortal hurriedly dodges, cursing: "Smelly thief, you really... really hit!" Yujizi has already acquired the essence of Taishan School's swordsmanship.While Taohuaxian was speaking, he had already dodged four swords in a row.
But Yujizi's sword moves were getting faster and faster, Taohuaxian was in a hurry, screaming, and wanted to draw out the short iron rod around his waist to parry, but he couldn't move.While the sword light was flickering, there was a pop sound, Tao Huaxian got hit by the sword on his left shoulder.At this moment, Yujizi let go of his long sword, flew up for half a day, and left the ground with his body, his hands and feet were grasped by the peach root, peach stem, peach branch, and peach leaf respectively.This time the rabbit rose and the falcon fell, and the changes were extremely rapid.But seeing a flash of yellow shadow, with a flash of sword light, someone swung the sword and cut off the top of Taozhixian's head.Tao Shixian has already been protecting and supporting her, and stretched out a short iron rod to support her.The man stabbed Taogenxian's chest with his sword again.Peach Blossom Immortal drew an iron rod to block it, and when he looked at the person, it was Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan School.
Zuo Lengchan knew in his heart that although the six immortals of Peach Valley talked in a mess, they were truly astonishingly talented. At the top of Mount Hua, they once tore Cheng Buyou, a master of the Huashan sword sect whom he had sent, into four pieces. His six brothers were captured, and they knew that if they rescued each other a little later, Yu Jizi would be dismembered immediately, so even though he was the master, it was really not appropriate to take action casually, and at this critical moment, he had to draw his sword to save him.He attacked Peach Branch Immortal and Peach Root Immortal with two swords, with the intention of forcing them to let go and retreat, but unexpectedly the six immortals of Peach Valley cooperated seamlessly, the four of them grabbed the enemy's hands and feet, and the other two stood by to protect them, Zuo Lengchan and the two The sword moves are exquisite and fierce, and Tao Shixian and Taohuaxian respectively blocked them.At that time, Yujizi's life and death were at stake, and at this moment, Zuo Lengchan had learned from Taoshixian and Taohuaxian's moves and internal strength to force the two of them to retreat, at least six moves In addition, after six moves were removed, Yu Jizi was torn apart by the four people, and the long sword was spinning in circles, and the sword light flickered.
Only Yujizi yelled and his head fell to the ground.Immortal Taogen and Immortal Taozhi each hold a broken hand, Immortal Taogan holds a broken foot in the hand of Immortal Taogan, and the foot held by Immortal Taoye is still attached to Yujizi.It turned out that Zuo Lengchan knew that there was no way to force the six immortals of Peach Valley to let go in this instant, so he had to make a decisive decision and cut off Yu Jizi's hands and one ankle, so that the four immortals of Peach Valley could not tear him apart. It means a poisonous snake stings a hand and a strong man cuts off his wrist.Zuo Lengchan cut off his three limbs, expecting that the Six Immortals of Peach Valley would not embarrass this useless man any more, so he immediately sneered and backed away.
Taozhixian said: "Hey, Zuo Lengchan, you sent a golden beauty to Yujizi and asked him to help you be the head. Why did you cut off his hands and feet instead? Do you want to kill him?" Yujizi was torn into four pieces, so it would be a mistake to rescue him." Tao Shixian said: "It's a pity and ridiculous to pretend to be smart. We caught Yujizi just as a joke with him. Today is On the good day when the Wuyue Sect established itself, who would dare to kill people indiscriminately?" Tao Huaxian said: "Yu Jizi really wants to kill me, but we think about the friendship of the same family, how can we kill him? Although he is not benevolent, we have to do it. Yi." Tao Ganxian said: "We just threw him into the sky, threw him down, and caught him again, fellow disciples, let's have fun! Zuo Lengchan made such a reckless move, his mind is so confused."
Tao Yexian dragged Yu Jizi, who had only one leg left and was covered in blood, walked up to Zuo Lengchan, let go of Yu Jizi's left foot, shook his head repeatedly, and said, "Zuo Lengchan, you are too aggressive. Vicious, how did you hurt a good Yujizi into such a state? He has no hands, only one foot, how will he behave in the future?"
Zuo Lengchan was filled with anger, thinking to himself: "Just now, if I had been a little late to attack, Yujizi would have been torn into four pieces by you, how could there be any life left? Now you are making such sarcastic remarks! There is no basis for it!" , but I couldn’t understand it for a while.”
Taogen Xiandao: "Zuo Lengchan wanted to kill Yujizi. He stabbed him to death with a sword, but it was clean, but he cut off his hands and feet, and told him not to live or die. It is really cruel, but it is extremely inhumane." Xiandao: "We are all members of the Five Sacred Sect, so if there is something we can't get through, we can discuss it carefully. Why are we so vicious? There is no sense of fellowship."
"Tuota Hand" Ding Mian said loudly: "You six weirdos, you tear people into four pieces at every turn. The left head sect rescued Daoist Yu Jizi, just for the sake of his fellow sect, but you came here to talk nonsense .”
Taozhixian said: "We were joking with Yujizi, but Zuo Lengchan believed it to be true. After getting Yujizi, he should directly accept the matter, but he flinched and tried to deny it, so he didn't have the courage. Little do you know that this is the top of Songshan Mountain, where thousands of heroes are watching, all of you who saw Yujizi's brothers and feet were cut off by you. Can you still rely on it?" Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Inhumane, unrighteous, unwise, and uncourageous, how can such a person be the head of the Five Sacred Sect? Zuo Lengchan, you too It's too whimsical." After finishing speaking, the six brothers shook their heads together.
In fact, if Zuo Lengchan hadn't cut off Yu Jizi's hands and feet with his exquisite swordsmanship, this Taoist who had been the head of Taishan School for less than an hour would have been torn into four pieces at that time.The top-notch masters beside the Fengchan Terrace naturally noticed it, and they couldn't help but praise Zuo Lengchan for his exquisite swordsmanship and quick response.But the Six Immortals of Peach Valley spoke so eloquently, but it was difficult for others to refute.Knowing that Zuo Lengchan had been wronged, they laughed secretly; those who didn't see the reason felt that Zuo Lengchan's move was either too reckless or very vicious, and there was dissatisfaction on their faces.
Linghu Chong has been with the Six Immortals of Peach Valley for a long time, and he knows them very well. He thought to himself: "Every sentence that the Six Immortals of Peach Valley said today hit Zuo Lengchan's vitals. How could his six brothers' minds be so clear? Most likely someone secretly pointed them out. Slowly approaching the Six Immortals of Peach Blossom Valley, trying to see which expert is hiding behind them, but seeing the Six Immortals of Peach Blossom Valley gathered together, there was no one else around, and the five brothers were frantically trying to stop the bleeding on the shoulders of Peach Blossom Immortals.Linghu Chong turned his head and looked towards the west, and suddenly there was a voice as thin as a mosquito in his ear: "Brother Chong, are you looking for me?" Linghu Chong was surprised and delighted, his voice was thin but clear, it was Yingying's voice.He turned his head slightly and looked around where the sound was coming from, only to see a bloated bearded man leaning against a boulder, lazily stretching out his hand to scratch his head.On the top of Songshan Mountain, there are at least one or two hundred big bearded men like this, and no one paid attention to them. Linghu Chong focused for a while, and suddenly saw a cunning and charming smile in the eyes of the big man. meaning.Overjoyed, he walked towards her. Yingying said through voice transmission: "Don't come here, don't tear through the diorama." The voice came from afar like a thread, and penetrated into his ears.Linghu Chong stopped immediately, thinking: "I didn't know you had this sound transmission skill, it must be another secret transmission from your father." He immediately understood: "The words spoken by the Six Immortals of Peach Valley are all from you. Taught them, no wonder these six rough embryos actually said something unkind, unrighteous, unwise, and uncouth?" I was so happy that I couldn't help venting, and said loudly: "The words of the Peach Valley Seven Immortals are really reasonable. I Originally, there were only six immortals in Peach Valley, but how could I know that there is also a smart and beautiful seven fairies, Taoexian!" The heroes heard Linghu Chong speak suddenly, but the words he said were so nondescript, they were all astonished. Yingying said via voice transmission: "This is a very important moment. You are the head of the Hengshan School, so don't talk nonsense. Zuo Lengchan is in a state of embarrassment right now. This is a good opportunity for you to be the head of the Five Mountains School." Linghu Chong's heart trembled, and he said to himself: "Yingying came to Songshan in disguise, so she wanted to help me become the head of the Five Sacred Sect. She is the daughter of the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, and she is the sworn enemy of the Orthodox sect here. If anyone finds out, it will be dangerous. Extreme. She is willing to take extraordinary risks and wholeheartedly help me make great achievements and enjoy great fame in the martial arts world, and she has such affection for me, I...I...I really don't know how to repay it?" Tao Genxian said: "You don't want a master like Fang Zheng to be the head of the sect. Yu Jizi has lost his hands and feet, and Zuo Lengchan is unkind and unrighteous. Naturally, he can't be the head of the sect. We So he elected a young hero with the best swordsmanship in the world to be the head of the Wuyue Sect. If anyone is not convinced, you might as well come and learn his swordsmanship." When he said this, he spread his left palm and waved it to Linghu Chong . Tao Ganxian said: "This young hero Linghu was originally the head of the Hengshan School. He has a deep relationship with Mr. Yue of the Huashan School, and is also a good friend with Mr. Mo Da of the Hengshan School. Among the Five Mountain Sword Schools, three schools must support him That's it." Taozhixian said: "Not all Taoists under the Taishan School are foolish, and naturally there are many who support him and few who oppose him." Taoyexian said: "Everyone in the Wuyue School uses swords, which is originally called Wuyue As for the sword sect, whoever has the highest swordsmanship must be the master of the sect." He said the word "natural" and added "must be" in passing, ignoring Tong and Wang. No way. It turned out that Tao Yexian had been thinking before: "What is the name of the disciple who must be given up for granted?" Although Tao Genxian reluctantly said that there is no way to add it above, it can be added below, and suggested that it should be called "It is a matter of course that must be given up". Although it made sense, I always felt that it was not perfect, and just then I suddenly felt blessed, and blurted out, adding the word "certainly" to "of course, must be avoided", and I couldn't help being extremely satisfied. Peach Blossom Immortal held the wound on her shoulder and said, "Zuo Lengchan, if you are not convinced, you might as well have a sword competition with Young Hero Linghu. Whoever wins will be the head of the Five Sacred Sect. This is called a competition of swords to win the master!" The heroes who came to Mount Song this time, except for the disciples of the Wuyue Sword Sect, Master Fangzheng, Taoist Chongxu and other caring people, most of them were interested in watching the excitement.At this moment, everyone knows that the merger of the five factions is a foregone conclusion, and the target of the competition should be the head of the sect.What these heroes in the Jianghu are most afraid of is long-winded disputes. Just now, the Six Immortals of Taogu and Zuo Lengchan were entangled with Zuo Lengchan just because they talked interestingly, and they were not bored. Falling down the mountain, it's still endless, it's suffocating to death, so when everyone heard Taohuaxian uttered the four words "competing with swords to win handsome", they immediately shouted loudly.Qunhao came up to the mountain and saw the Taoist of Tianmen commit suicide and kill the enemy, and Zuo Lengchan's sword cut off three limbs. These two scenes were shocking to watch. It can be said that the trip was worthwhile, but it is like the masters of the Five Sacred School fighting for the palm of their hands. There will be a great battle with the disciples, and there will be many good shows, which will be even more enjoyable.Therefore, the heroes applauded and cheered very sincerely and warmly. Linghu Chong thought to himself: "I promise Master Fangzheng and Daoist Chongxu to prevent Zuo Lengchan from becoming the head of the Five Sacred Mountains, lest he be the head of the Wuyue School. As long as the master is the head, he is selfless, and naturally everyone will be convinced. Except him Apart from the old man, who in the Five Sacred Sword Sect is worthy of this important task?" He said loudly, "There is a most suitable senior in front of us, how can everyone forget it? If the Five Sacred Sect does not have Mr. Can you find the second one? Mr. Yue has high martial arts skills and excellent insight. He is a benevolent old man, and everyone knows him. Otherwise, how could he get the nickname of "Junzi Sword"? My Hengshan School recommended Mr. Yue as the Wuyue School Master." After he said these words, the disciples of Huashan School applauded loudly. Someone in the Songshan School said: "Although Mr. Yue is good, he is always inferior to the Zuo Sect." Someone said: "The Zuo Sect is the leader of the Five Sacred Sword Sect. He has been the leader of the Five Sacred Sword Sect for so many years. It is logical to be the head of the sect. Why do you need to push others?" Another person said: "In my opinion, the head of the Five Sacred Sect is of course the left head, and there can be four assistants, Mr. Yue, Mr. Mo Da, Linghu Shaoxia, Yu...Yu...Yu...that Yuqingzi or Yuyinzi Daoist are respectively in charge, then it is quite appropriate." Tao Zhixian shouted: "Yu Jizi is not dead yet, he lost two hands and one foot, so you don't want him?" Tao Ye Xiandao: "Compete to win the handsome, compare the sword to win the handsome! Whoever has the highest martial arts will be the master!" More than a thousand Jianghu men followed suit and shouted: "Yes! Yes! Fight for handsomeness with swords, fight for handsomeness with swords!" Linghu Chong thought to himself: "In today's situation, we must first defeat Zuo Lengchan and cut off the hope of everyone in the Songshan School, otherwise my master will never be the head of the Five Sacred Mountains School." Immediately he stepped out with his sword and shouted: "Mr. Zuo, The heroes of the world are here, and they all say that we want us to compare swords to win the commander. How about I throw bricks and attract jade with you, how about a fight first?" He thought to himself: "Zuo Lengchan's yin and cold palms are very powerful, I will use kung fu with my fists and feet. But he is far away from him, but the swordsmanship will definitely not lose him. After I have won Zuo Lengchan, I will give it to the master, and no one will say anything. Even if Mr. Mo Da wants to fight, he may not win the master. A great master is killed and wounded, and there will be no good players left. Even if my swordsmanship is not Zuo Lengchan's opponent, I will lose after more than a thousand moves. After exhausting his internal energy, the master will end up fighting with him If you fight, you have a good chance of winning." He slashed two swords with his long sword, and said: "Mr. Zuo, everyone in our Wuyue Sword Sect uses swords, and the victory and defeat will be determined by the sword." He said so, then It was to seal Zuo Lengchan's mouth first, lest he propose to compare fists, kicks and palms. All the heroes cheered: "Young Hero Linghu speaks quickly and compares victory and defeat on the sword." "The winner is the master, the loser obeys orders, and fair trade is the best." "Mr. Zuo, go to the sword competition next time!" Are there any scruples, are you afraid of losing?" "What's the point of talking all this time? It's time to fight!" For a while on the top of Songshan Mountain, the yelling of the heroes became louder and louder. When there were more people, everyone followed suit.These people are just guests invited by Zuo Lengchan, who is the head of the Five Sacred Mountains sect, and how to decide the head seat has nothing to do with them. Everyone is looking forward to watching a few more good shows.Once this momentum had been achieved, it turned out to be overwhelming, and it became impossible for the head of the sect to make a decision if there was no contest of swords. Linghu Chong was overjoyed when he saw that everyone agreed with his opinion, and he shouted: "Mr. Zuo, if you don't want to compete swords with me, then you can declare in public that you will never be the head of the Five Sacred Sect. Then let the rest of the people compete." The sword is ready!" All the heroes shouted: "Competition of swords, competition of swords! It is not the heroes who are not compared, but the bears!" Many people in the Songshan School knew that Linghu Chong's swordsmanship was exquisite, Zuo Lengchan might not be sure of defeating him, but if Zuo Lengchan could not compete with him in the sword, he couldn't give any honest reason, and they all frowned for a while Brows, silent. Amidst the din, a clear voice rose from the crowd: "All the heroes speak together, and we all hope that the heads of the Five Sacred Sect will make a decision by comparing swords. We can't disobey the good wishes of all of you." It's Yue Buqun. The heroes shouted: "Mr. Yue is right in saying that he is handsome with a sword, and handsome with a sword!" Yue Buqun said: "Competing swords to win the master is originally a method, but my Five Sacred Sword Sect has merged into one, the original intention is to reduce family disputes, so as to achieve harmony and friendship in the martial arts, so the martial arts competition can only be limited to one point. If you want to win or lose, you must stop, and you must not kill your life. Otherwise, it will greatly violate the original intention of my five factions to merge." When everyone heard what he said, they fell silent.A big man said: "It's good to point it to the end, but the sword doesn't have eyes. If there is a death or injury, that is your own bad luck. Who is to blame?" Why come to snatch the head of the Five Sacred Sect?" All the heroes laughed loudly.Yue Buqun said: "That being said, it's always better not to hurt the harmony. I have a few humble opinions, please refer to them for details." Someone shouted: "Hurry up and fight, what are you talking about?" Another said: "Don't make trouble, and listen to what Mr. Yue has to say." The previous man said: "Who made trouble? You go home and ask your big sister Go!" The other side also scolded each other. Yue Buqun said: "Which one is eligible to participate in the martial arts competition, there must be a rule..." He was full of internal energy, as soon as he spoke, he suppressed the voice of the insulting person, and only listened to him continue Said: "Contest to win the commander, this handsome is the commander of the Five Sacred Sect, so if he is not a member of the Five Sacred Sect, no matter how powerful he is, he can't see Lie Xinxi, his hands itch for a while, and the end of the competition. Otherwise, the fight is" The best swordsmanship in the world', but not for the head of Ding Wuyue Sect." All the heroes said: "That's right! If you're not a member of the Wuyue Sect, naturally you can't go to the competition." Some people said: "It's not bad for everyone to fight together and compete for the 'No. 1 swordsmanship in the world'." I ignored it. Yue Buqun said: "As for how to compete in martial arts, so as not to injure the lives of people and not hurt the friendship of the same clan, Mr. Zuo please express his views." Zuo Lengchan said coldly: "Since you have used your hands, you must not injure people's lives and not hurt the harmony of the same family. It is rare. I wonder what Mr. Yue's opinion is?" Yue Buqun said: "I think it's best to ask Master Fang Zheng, Daoist Chongxu, Master Jie of the Beggar Clan, Master Yu Guan of the Qingcheng School and other respected martial arts seniors to come out to be notarized. Whoever wins and who loses will be determined A few of them judge, so that the contestants will not fight endlessly. We only decide who is better, not who will live or die." Fang Zheng said: "That's good, that's good! The eight words 'Only distinguish between superiors and inferiors, life and death are not determined' have eliminated countless bloody disasters. What is Mr. Zuo's intention?" Zuo Lengchan said: "This is the master's compassionate care for our sect, and we should obey it. The five sects of the original Wuyue Sword sect, each sect can only send one person to compete for the commander, otherwise each sect will send out hundreds of people, I don't know how to compare What year and month will there be an ending." Although the heroes felt that each faction of the Five Sacred Sword Sect only sent one person to compete, and the five factions only had five people, it was too dull.But if the five sects are all masters, no one from his sect will challenge him.Only hundreds of people from the Songshan School echoed loudly, and no one else raised any objections. Taozhixian suddenly said: "The head of the Taishan School is Yujizi, is it possible that he, a bull-nosed man with a severed arm and foot, is the one to win the martial arts competition?" ? He still has one leg left, so he can fly off and kick people." Hearing this, all the heroes laughed.
Yuyinzi of the Taishan School said angrily: "You six monsters have made my brother Yujizi crippled, and you are still talking and mocking here, and you will all have your hands and feet cut off. Come and fight alone with your Daoist, and have a competition." As he spoke, he drew out his sword and stood on the spot.This Yuyinzi was tall and thin, with a dignified appearance, and when she came out like this, she had a dignified demeanor, and her Taoist robe fluttered with the wind, making her look even more energetic.When the heroes met, many people cheered loudly. Taogen Xiandao: "Among the Taishan School, will you come out to compete in martial arts?" Taoyexian said: "Is it your fellow sect, or are you volunteering?" Yuyinzi said: "What has it to do with you?" Taoyexian said: "Of course it is relevant. And of course it is relevant. If the Taishan faction officially chooses you to compete in martial arts, then after you lose, the second person in the Taishan faction will not be able to come to the competition." Yuyinzi said: "The second person cannot come out for the competition. So what?" Suddenly someone from the Taishan School said: "Junior Brother Yuyinzi is not publicly selected by us. If he loses, there are other good players in the Taishan School, so we can fight again." It was Yuqingzi.Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Haha, there is another good player, I am afraid it is Your Excellency?" Yu Qingzi said: "Yes, maybe it is your Daoist." There was internal strife, Taoist Tianmen died, Taoist Yuji was injured, and Yuqing and Yuyin are vying to be the new head of Taishan School." Yuyinzi said: "Nonsense!" But Yuqingzi sneered a few times and didn't speak.Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Which one of the Taishan School will come out to compete?" Yuqingzi and Yuyinzi said in unison: "It's me!" Who is stronger? I can’t tell clearly, but a fight will win or lose!” Yuqingzi came out more and more, and waved: "Brother, step back, don't make others laugh." Yuyinzi said: "Why do you make others laugh? Brother Yuji was seriously injured, and I want to avenge him Resentment." Yu Qingzi said: "Are you going to take revenge, or to compete for superiority?" Yu Yinzi said: "With our rudimentary skills, are we worthy of being the head of the Wuyue Sect? Isn't that wishful thinking? I, everyone in the Taishan Sect , have already agreed that the leader of the Songshan left alliance should be the head of the Wuyue faction, why should my brothers come out and make a fool of yourself?" Yu Qingzi said: "In this case, you step back, and I will be the leader in front of the Taishan faction." Yuyinzi sneered and said, "Hmph, although you are the elder, are you able to convince others with your usual actions? Do everyone listen to you?" Yu Qingzi's face suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "What is your intention in saying this? You ignore the order of seniority, deceive masters and destroy ancestors, what does the first rule of this sect say?" Yuyinzi said: "Haha, Don't forget, we are all disciples of the Five Sacred Sect at this moment. We all joined the Five Sacred Sect at the same time in the same month. You always bring up the rules of the Taishan School to suppress people, but it’s a pity that there are only Wuyue School and no Taishan School.” Tao Zhixian interjected: “It is a great good thing to have Wuyue School but not Taishan School. Why? Yuyinzi wants to say "a pity"? You want to dismantle the Wuyue Sect and revive the Taishan Sect, don't you? Yuyinzi, why do you say the word "pity"? Yuyinzi and Yuqingzi were speechless for a while That's right." More than a thousand men shouted in unison: "Go up and fight, whoever is stronger, you will know after a fight." Yu Qingzi kept shaking the long sword in his hand, but did not step forward. Although he is a senior brother, he has always been addicted to drinking , martial arts and swordsmanship is far inferior to that of Yuyinzi.此后五岳剑派合并，但五岳派人众必将仍然分居五岳，每一处名山定有一人为首。玉磬子、玉音子二人自知本事与左冷禅差得甚远，原无做五岳派掌门的打算，但颇想回归本山之后，便为泰山之长。这时群雄怂恿之下，师兄弟势必兵戎相见，玉磬子可不敢贸然动手，只是在天下英雄之前为玉音子所屈，心中却也不甘；何况这么一来，左掌门多半会派玉音子为泰山之长，从此听他号令，终身抬不起头来了。一时之间，师兄弟二人怒目相向，僵持不决。 突然人群中一个尖利的声音说道：“我看泰山派武功的精要，你二人谁都摸不着半点边儿，偏有这么厚脸皮，在这里啰唆争吵，虚耗天下英雄的时光。” 众人向说话之人瞧去，见是个长身玉立的青年，相貌俊美，但脸色青白，嘴角边微带冷嘲，正是华山派的林平之。有人识得他的，便叫了出来：“这是华山派岳先生的新女婿。” 令狐冲心道：“林师弟向来拘谨，不多说话，不料士别三日，便当刮目相看，竟在天下英雄之前，出言讥讽这两个贼道。”适才玉磬子、玉音子二道与玉玑子狼狈为奸，逼死泰山派掌门人天门道人，向左冷禅谄媚讨好，令狐冲心中对二道极是不满，听得林平之如此辱骂，颇为痛快。 玉音子道：“我摸不着泰山派武功的边儿，阁下倒摸得着了？却要请阁下施展几手泰山派武功，好让天下英雄开开眼界。”他特别将“泰山派”三字说得极响，意思说，你是华山派弟子，武功再强，也只是华山派的，决不会连我泰山派的武功也会练。 林平之冷笑一声，说道：“泰山派武功博大精深，岂是你这等认贼为父、戕害同门的不肖之徒所能领略……”岳不群喝道：“平儿，玉音道长乃是长辈，不得无礼！”林平之应道：“是！” 玉音子怒道：“岳先生，你调教的好徒儿，好女婿！连泰山派的武功如何，他也能来胡言乱语。” 突然一个女子的声音道：“你怎知他是胡言乱语？”一个俊俏的少妇越众而出，长裙拂地，衣带飘风，鬓边插着一朵小小红花，正是岳灵珊。她背上负着一柄长剑，右手反过去握住剑柄，说道：“我便以泰山派的剑法，会会道长的高招。” 玉音子认得她是岳不群的女儿，心想岳不群这番大力赞同五派合并，左冷禅言语神情中对他甚是客气，倒也不敢得罪了她，微微一笑，说道：“岳姑娘大喜，贫道没来道贺，讨一杯喜酒喝，难道为此生我的气了吗？贵派剑法精妙，贫道向来是十分佩服的。但华山派门人居然也会使泰山派剑法，贫道今日还是首次得闻。” 岳灵珊秀眉一轩，道：“我爹爹要做五岳派掌门人，对五岳剑派每一派的剑法，自然都得钻研一番。否则的话，就算我爹爹打赢了四派掌门人，那也只是华山派独占鳌头，算不得是五岳派真正的掌门人。” 此言一出，群雄登时耸动。有人道：“岳先生要做五岳派掌门人？”有人大声道：“难道泰山、衡山、嵩山、恒山四派的武功，岳先生也都会吗？” 岳不群朗声道：“小女信口开河，小孩儿家的话，众位不可当真。” 岳灵珊却道：“嵩山左师伯，如果你能以泰衡华恒四派剑法，分别打败我四派好手，我们自然服你做五岳派掌门。否则你嵩山派的剑法就算独步天下，也不过嵩山派的剑法十分高明而已，跟别的四派，终究拉不上干系。” 群雄均想：这话确然不错。如果有人精擅五岳剑派各派剑法，以他来做五岳派掌门，自是再合适不过。可是五岳剑派每一派的剑法，都是数百年来经无数好手呕心沥血锻炼而成。有人纵得五派名师分别传授，经数十年苦练，也未必能学全五派的全部剑法，而各派秘招绝艺，都是非本派弟子不传，如说一人而能同时精擅五岳派剑法，决计无此可能。 左冷禅却想：“岳不群的女儿为什么说这番话？其中必有用意。难道岳不群当真痰迷了心窍，想跟我争夺这五岳派掌门人之位吗？” 玉音子道：“原来岳先生已精通五派剑法，那可是自从五岳剑派创派以来，从所未有的大事。贫道便请岳姑娘指点指点泰山派的剑法。” 岳灵珊道：“甚好！”刷的一声，从背上剑鞘中拔出了长剑。 玉音子心下大是着恼：“我比你父亲还长着一辈，你这女娃娃居然敢向我拔剑！”他只道岳不群定会出手阻拦，就算真要动手，华山派中也只有岳不群夫妇才堪与自己匹敌，岂知岳不群只摇头叹息，说道：“小孩子家不知天高地厚。玉音、玉磬两位前辈，乃泰山派一等一好手。你要用泰山派剑法跟他们过招，那不是自讨苦吃吗？” 玉音子心中一凛：“岳不群居然叫女儿用泰山剑法跟我过招。”一瞥眼间，只见岳灵珊右手长剑斜指而下，左手五指正在屈指而数，从一数到五，握而成拳，又将拇指伸出，次而食指，终至五指全展，跟着又屈拇指而屈食指，再屈中指，登时大吃一惊：“这女娃娃怎地懂得这一招'岱宗如何'？” 玉音子在三十余年前，曾听师父说过这一招“岱宗如何”的要旨，这一招可算得是泰山派剑法中最高深的绝艺，要旨不在右手剑招，而在左手的算数。左手不住屈指计算，算的是敌人所处方位、武功门派、身形长短、兵刃大小，以及日光所照高低等等，计算极为繁复，一经算准，挺剑击出，无不中的。当时玉音子心想，要在顷刻之间，将这种种数目尽皆算得清清楚楚，自知无此本领，其时并未深研，听过便罢。他师父对此术其实也未精通，只说：“这招'岱宗如何'使起来太过艰难，似乎不切实用，实则威力无俦。你既无心详参，那是与此招无缘，也只好算了。你的几个师兄弟都不及你细心，他们更不能练。可惜本派这一招博大精深、世无其匹的剑招，从此便要失传了。”玉音子见师父并未勉强自己苦练苦算，暗自欣喜，此后在泰山派中也从未见人练过，不料事隔数十年，竟见岳灵珊这年轻少妇使了出来，霎时之间，额头上出了一片汗珠。 他从未听师父说过如何对付此招，只道自己既然不练，旁人也决不会使这奇招，自无需设法拆解，岂知世事之奇，竟有大出于意料之外者。情急智生，自忖：“我急速改变方位，蹿高伏低，她自然算我不准。”当即长剑一晃，向右滑出三步，一招“青天无云”，转过身来，身子微矮，长剑斜刺，离岳灵珊右肩尚有五尺，便已圈转，跟着一招“峻岭横空”，去势奇疾而收剑极快。只见岳灵珊站在原地不动，右手长剑的剑尖不住晃动，左手五指仍伸屈不定。玉音子展开剑势，身随剑走，左边一拐，右边一弯，越转越急。 这路剑法叫做“泰山十八盘”，乃泰山派昔年一位名宿所创，他见泰山山门下十八盘处羊肠曲折，五步一转，十步一回，势甚险峻，因而将地势融入剑法之中，与八卦门的“八卦游身掌”有异曲同工之妙。泰山“十八盘”越盘越高，越行越险，这路剑招也是越转越狠辣。玉音子每一剑似乎均要在岳灵珊身上对穿而过，其实自始至终，并未出过一招真正杀着。 他双目所注，不离岳灵珊左手五根手指的不住伸屈。昔年师父有言：“这一招'岱宗如何'，可说是我泰山剑法之宗，击无不中，杀人不用第二招。剑法而到这地步，已是超凡入圣。你师父也不过是略知皮毛，真要练到精绝，那可谈何容易？”想到师父这些话，背上冷汗一阵阵地渗了出来。 那泰山“十八盘”，有“缓十八、紧十八”之分，正面十八处盘旋较缓，侧坡十八处盘旋甚紧，一步高一步，所谓“后人见前人履底，前人见后人发顶”。泰山派这路剑法，纯从泰山这条陡道的地势中化出，也是忽缓忽紧，回旋曲折。 令狐冲见岳灵珊既不挡架，也不闪避，左手五指不住伸屈，似乎在计算数目，不由得心下大急，只想大叫：“小师妹，小心！”但这五个字塞在喉头，始终叫不出来。 玉音子这路剑法将要使完，长剑始终不敢递到岳灵珊身周二尺之处。岳灵珊长剑倏地刺出，一连五剑，每一剑的剑招皆苍然有古意。一旁玉磬子失声叫道：“'五大夫剑！'”泰山有松树极古，相传为秦时所封之“五大夫松”，虬枝斜出，苍翠相掩。玉磬子、玉音子的师伯祖曾由此而悟出一套剑法来，便称之为“五大夫剑”。这套剑法招数古朴，内藏奇变，玉磬子二十余年前便已学得精熟，但眼见岳灵珊这五招似是而非，与自己所学颇有不同，却显然又比原来剑法高明得多，心下惊诧之余，慢慢走近，要想看个仔细。岳灵珊突然纤腰一弯，挺剑向他刺去，叫道：“这也是你泰山派的剑法吗？” 玉磬子急举剑相架，叫道：“'来鹤清泉'，如何不是泰山剑法，不过……”这一招虽然架开，却已惊得出了一身冷汗，敌剑之来，方位与自己所学大不相同，这一剑险些便透胸而过。岳灵珊道：“是泰山剑法就好！”刷的一声，反手砍向玉音子。玉磬子道：“'石关回马'！你使得不……不大对……”岳灵珊道：“剑招名字，你记得倒熟。”长剑展开，刷刷两剑，只听玉音子“啊”的一声大叫，右腿已然中剑。几乎便在同一刹那，玉磬子右膝中剑，一个踉跄，右腿一屈，跪了下来，急忙以剑支地撑起，力道用得猛了，剑尖又刚好撑在一块麻石之上，啪的一响，长剑断为两截，口中兀自说道：“'快活三'！不过……不过……” 岳灵珊一声冷笑，将长剑反手插入背上剑鞘。 旁观群雄轰然叫好。这样一位年轻美貌的少妇，竟在举手投足之间，以泰山派剑法将两位泰山派高手杀败，剑法之妙，令人看得心旷神怡，这一番喝彩声，当真山谷鸣响。 左冷禅与嵩山派的几名高手对望一眼，都大为疑虑：“这女娃娃所使确是泰山剑法。然而其中大有更改，剑招老练狠辣，决非这女娃娃所能琢磨而得，定是岳不群暗中练就了传授于她。要练成这路剑法，不知要花多少时日，岳不群如此处心积虑，其志决不在小。” 玉音子突然大叫：“你……你……这不是真的'岱宗如何'！”他于中剑受伤之后，这才省悟，岳灵珊只不过摆个“岱宗如何”的架子，其实并非真的会算，否则的话，她一招即已取胜，又何必再使“五大夫剑”、“来鹤清泉”、“石关回马”、“快活三”等等招术？更气人的是，她竟将泰山派的剑招在关键处忽加改动，自己和师哥二人仓促之际，不及多想，自然而然以数十年来练熟了的剑招拆解，而她出剑方位陡变，以致师兄弟俩双双中计落败。倘若她使的是别派剑法，不论招式如何精妙，凭着自己剑术上的修为，决不能输了给这娇怯怯的少妇。但她使的确是泰山派剑法，却又不是假的，心中既惭愧气恼，又惊惶诧异，更有七分上了当的不服气。 令狐冲眼见岳灵珊以这几招剑法破敌，心下一片迷茫，忽听得背后有人低声道：“令狐公子，这几招剑法是你教她的？”令狐冲回过头来，见说话的是田伯光，便摇了摇头。田伯光微笑道：“那日在华山顶上，你和我动手，记得你便曾使过这一招来鹤清什么的，只不过那时你还没使熟。” 令狐冲神色茫然，宛如不闻。当岳灵珊一出手，他便瞧了出来，她所使的乃是华山思过崖后洞石壁上所刻的泰山派剑法。但自己在后洞石壁上发现剑招石刻之事，并未对华山派任何人提过，当日离开思过崖，记得已将后洞的洞口掩好，岳灵珊怎会发现？转念又想：“我既能发现后洞，小师妹当然也能发现。何况我已在无意中打开了洞口，小师妹便易找得多了。” 他在华山思过崖后洞，见到石壁上所刻五岳剑法的绝招，以及魔教诸长老破解各家剑法的法门，虽于所刻招数记得颇熟，但这些招数叫做什么名字，却全然不知。眼见岳灵珊最后三剑使得犹似行云流水，大有善御者驾轻车而行熟路之意，三剑之间击伤泰山派两名高手，将石壁上的剑招发挥得淋漓尽致，心下也暗自赞叹。又听得玉磬子说出“快活三”三字，想起当年曾随师父去过泰山，过水帘洞后，一条长长的山道斜坡，名为“快活三”，意思说连续三里，顺坡而下，走起来十分快活，想不到这连环三剑，竟是从这条斜坡化出。
一个瘦削的老者缓步而出，说道：“岳先生精擅五岳剑派各派剑法，实是武林中从所未有。老朽潜心参研本派剑法，有许多处所没法明白，今日正好向岳先生请教。”他左手拿着一把抚摩得晶光发亮的胡琴，右手从琴柄中慢慢抽出一柄剑身极细的短剑，正是衡山派掌门莫大先生。 岳灵珊躬身道：“莫师伯手下留情。侄女胡乱学得几手衡山派剑法，请莫师伯指点。” 莫大先生口说“今日正好向岳先生请教”，原是向岳不群索战，不料岳灵珊一句话便接了过去，还言明是用衡山派剑法。莫大先生江湖上威名素著，群雄适才又听得左冷禅言道，嵩山派好手大嵩阳手费彬便死在他剑下，均想：“难道岳灵珊以泰山剑法伤了两名泰山派高手，又能以衡山剑法与他对敌？” 莫大先生微笑道：“很好，很好！了不起，了不起！”岳灵珊道：“等到侄女敌不过莫师伯，再由我爹爹上场。”莫大先生喃喃地道：“敌得过的，敌得过的！”短剑慢慢指出，突然间在空中一颤，发出嗡嗡之声，跟着便是嗡嗡两剑。岳灵珊举剑招架，莫大先生的短剑如鬼如魅，竟已绕到了岳灵珊背后。 岳灵珊急忙转身，耳边只听得嗡嗡两声，眼前有一团头发飘过，却是自己的头发已给莫大先生削了一截下来。她大急之下，心念电转：“他这是手下留情，否则适才这一剑已然杀了我。他既不伤我，便可和他对攻。”当下更不理会对方剑势来路，刷刷两剑，分向莫大先生小腹与额头刺去。 莫大先生微微一惊：“这两招'泉鸣芙蓉'、'鹤翔紫盖'，确是我衡山派绝招，这小姑娘如何学得了去？” 衡山七十二峰，以芙蓉、紫盖、石廪、天柱、祝融五峰最高。衡山派剑法之中，也有五路剑法，分别以这五座高峰为名。莫大先生眼见适才岳灵珊所出，均是“一招包一路”的剑法，在一招之中，包含了一路剑法中数十招的精要。“芙蓉剑法”三十六招，“紫盖剑法”四十八招。“泉鸣芙蓉”与“鹤翔紫盖”两招剑法，分别将芙蓉剑法、紫盖剑法每一路数十招中的精奥之处，融会简化而入一招，一招之中有攻有守，威力之强，为衡山剑法之冠，是以这五招剑法，合称“衡山五神剑”。 众人只听得铮铮铮之声不绝，不知两人谁攻谁守，也不知在顷刻间两人已拆了几招。 莫大先生事事谋定而后动，“比剑夺帅”之议既决，他便即筹思对策。他绝无半分要当五岳派掌门人之念，更知不是左冷禅和令狐冲的敌手，但身为衡山掌门，不能自始至终龟缩不出。他气恼玉磬子为虎作伥，逼死天门道人，本拟和这道人一拚，岂知泰山三子一上来便先后受伤，于是剩下的对手便只岳不群一人。他在少林寺中，已将岳不群的武功瞧得清清楚楚，自己不致输了于他，但上来动手的竟是岳不群的女儿。岳灵珊会使衡山派剑法，他已是一惊，而她所使的更是衡山剑法中最上乘的“一招包一路”，更令他心中尽是惊惧惶惑。 莫大先生的师祖和师叔祖，当年在华山绝顶与魔教十长老会斗，双双毙命。其时莫大先生的师父年岁尚轻，芙蓉、紫盖等五路剑法是学全了，但“一招包一路”的“泉鸣芙蓉”、“鹤翔紫盖”那五招衡山神剑，却只知了个大概。莫大先生自然也未得师父详加传授指点。岂知此刻竟会在别派一个年轻女子剑底显了出来。只是岳灵珊那两招只得剑形而未得其意，否则的话，莫大先生心神激荡之际，在第二招上便已落败。 他好容易接过了这两招，只见岳灵珊长剑晃动，正是一招“石廪书声”，跟着又是一招“天柱云气”。那“天柱剑法”主要是从云雾中变化出来，极尽诡奇之能事，动向无定，不可捉摸。莫大先生一见岳灵珊使出“天柱云气”，他见机极快，当即不架而走。所谓不架而走，那不过说得好听，其实是打不过而逃跑。只是他剑法变化繁复，逃走之际，短剑东刺西削，使人眼花缭乱，不知他已是在使三十六策中的上策。 他知衡山五大神剑之中，除了“泉鸣芙蓉”、“鹤翔紫盖”、“石廪书声”、“天柱云气”之外，最厉害的一招叫做“雁回祝融”。衡山五高峰中，以祝融峰最高，这招“雁回祝融”，在衡山五神剑中也最为精深。莫大先生的师父当年说到这一招时，含糊其词，并说自己也不大清楚，如岳灵珊再使出这一招来，自己纵不丧命当场，那也非大大出丑不可。他脚下急闪，短剑急挥，心念急转：“她虽学到了奇招，看来只会呆使，不会随机应变。说不得，只好冒险跟她拚上一拚，否则莫大今后也不用再在江湖上混了。” 眼见岳灵珊脚步微一迟疑，知她一时之间拿不定主意，到底要追呢还是不追，莫大先生暗叫：“惭愧！毕竟年轻人没见识。”岳灵珊以这招“天柱云气”逼得莫大先生转身而逃，他虽掩饰得高明，似乎未呈败象，但武功高明之士，人人都已见到他不敌而走的窘态。倘若岳灵珊立时收剑行礼，说道：“莫师伯，承让！侄女得罪。”那么胜败便已分了。莫大先生何等身分地位，岂能败了一招之后，再转身与后辈女子缠斗？可是岳灵珊竟然犹豫，实是莫大先生难得之极的良机。 但见岳灵珊笑靥甫展，樱唇微张，正要说话，莫大先生手中短剑嗡嗡作响，向她直扑过去。这几下急剑，乃莫大先生毕生功力之所聚，剑发琴音，光环乱转，霎时之间已将岳灵珊裹在一团剑光之中。岳灵珊一声惊呼，连退了几步。莫大先生岂容她缓出手来施展那招“雁回祝融”？他手中短剑越使越快，一套百变千幻云雾十三式有如云卷雾涌，旁观者不由得目为之眩，若不是群雄觉得莫大先生颇有以长凌幼、以男欺女之嫌，彩声早已大作。 当岳灵珊使出“泉鸣芙蓉”等几招时，令狐冲更无怀疑，她这几路剑法，是从华山思过崖后洞的石壁上学来的，寻思：“小师妹为什么会到思过崖去？师父、师娘对她甚是疼爱，当然不会罚她在这荒僻的危崖上静坐思过。就算她犯了什么重大过失，师父、师娘也不过严加斥责而已。思过崖与华山主峰相距不近，地形又极凶险，即令是一个寻常女弟子，也不会罚她孤零零地去住在崖上。难道是林师弟受罚到崖上思过，小师妹每日去送饭送茶，便像她从前待我那样吗？”想到此处，不由得心口一热。 又想：“林师弟沉默寡言，循规蹈矩，宛然便是一位'小君子剑'。他正因此而得到师父、师娘和小师妹的欢心，怎会犯错而受罚到崖上思过？何况师父早就要将小师妹配给林师弟。不会，不会，决计不会！”猛然想起：“难道小师妹……小师妹……”内心深处突然浮起一个念头，可是这念头太过荒唐，刚浮入脑海，便即压下，一时心中恍恍惚惚，到底是个什么念头，自己也不大清楚。 便在此时，只听得岳灵珊“啊”的一声惊呼，长剑脱手斜飞，左足一滑，仰跌在地。莫大先生手中短剑伸出，指向她的左肩，笑道：“侄女请起，不用惊慌！” 突然间啪的一声响，莫大先生手中短剑断折，却是岳灵珊从地下拾起了两块圆石，左手圆石砸在莫
Linghu Chong has been with the Six Immortals of Peach Valley for a long time, and he knows them very well. He thought to himself: "Every sentence that the Six Immortals of Peach Valley said today hit Zuo Lengchan's vitals. How could his six brothers' minds be so clear? Most likely someone secretly pointed them out. Slowly approaching the Six Immortals of Peach Blossom Valley, trying to see which expert is hiding behind them, but seeing the Six Immortals of Peach Blossom Valley gathered together, there was no one else around, and the five brothers were frantically trying to stop the bleeding on the shoulders of Peach Blossom Immortals.Linghu Chong turned his head and looked towards the west, and suddenly there was a voice as thin as a mosquito in his ear: "Brother Chong, are you looking for me?" Linghu Chong was surprised and delighted, his voice was thin but clear, it was Yingying's voice.He turned his head slightly and looked around where the sound was coming from, only to see a bloated bearded man leaning against a boulder, lazily stretching out his hand to scratch his head.On the top of Songshan Mountain, there are at least one or two hundred big bearded men like this, and no one paid attention to them. Linghu Chong focused for a while, and suddenly saw a cunning and charming smile in the eyes of the big man. meaning.Overjoyed, he walked towards her. Yingying said through voice transmission: "Don't come here, don't tear through the diorama." The voice came from afar like a thread, and penetrated into his ears.Linghu Chong stopped immediately, thinking: "I didn't know you had this sound transmission skill, it must be another secret transmission from your father." He immediately understood: "The words spoken by the Six Immortals of Peach Valley are all from you. Taught them, no wonder these six rough embryos actually said something unkind, unrighteous, unwise, and uncouth?" I was so happy that I couldn't help venting, and said loudly: "The words of the Peach Valley Seven Immortals are really reasonable. I Originally, there were only six immortals in Peach Valley, but how could I know that there is also a smart and beautiful seven fairies, Taoexian!" The heroes heard Linghu Chong speak suddenly, but the words he said were so nondescript, they were all astonished. Yingying said via voice transmission: "This is a very important moment. You are the head of the Hengshan School, so don't talk nonsense. Zuo Lengchan is in a state of embarrassment right now. This is a good opportunity for you to be the head of the Five Mountains School." Linghu Chong's heart trembled, and he said to himself: "Yingying came to Songshan in disguise, so she wanted to help me become the head of the Five Sacred Sect. She is the daughter of the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, and she is the sworn enemy of the Orthodox sect here. If anyone finds out, it will be dangerous. Extreme. She is willing to take extraordinary risks and wholeheartedly help me make great achievements and enjoy great fame in the martial arts world, and she has such affection for me, I...I...I really don't know how to repay it?" Tao Genxian said: "You don't want a master like Fang Zheng to be the head of the sect. Yu Jizi has lost his hands and feet, and Zuo Lengchan is unkind and unrighteous. Naturally, he can't be the head of the sect. We So he elected a young hero with the best swordsmanship in the world to be the head of the Wuyue Sect. If anyone is not convinced, you might as well come and learn his swordsmanship." When he said this, he spread his left palm and waved it to Linghu Chong . Tao Ganxian said: "This young hero Linghu was originally the head of the Hengshan School. He has a deep relationship with Mr. Yue of the Huashan School, and is also a good friend with Mr. Mo Da of the Hengshan School. Among the Five Mountain Sword Schools, three schools must support him That's it." Taozhixian said: "Not all Taoists under the Taishan School are foolish, and naturally there are many who support him and few who oppose him." Taoyexian said: "Everyone in the Wuyue School uses swords, which is originally called Wuyue As for the sword sect, whoever has the highest swordsmanship must be the master of the sect." He said the word "natural" and added "must be" in passing, ignoring Tong and Wang. No way. It turned out that Tao Yexian had been thinking before: "What is the name of the disciple who must be given up for granted?" Although Tao Genxian reluctantly said that there is no way to add it above, it can be added below, and suggested that it should be called "It is a matter of course that must be given up". Although it made sense, I always felt that it was not perfect, and just then I suddenly felt blessed, and blurted out, adding the word "certainly" to "of course, must be avoided", and I couldn't help being extremely satisfied. Peach Blossom Immortal held the wound on her shoulder and said, "Zuo Lengchan, if you are not convinced, you might as well have a sword competition with Young Hero Linghu. Whoever wins will be the head of the Five Sacred Sect. This is called a competition of swords to win the master!" The heroes who came to Mount Song this time, except for the disciples of the Wuyue Sword Sect, Master Fangzheng, Taoist Chongxu and other caring people, most of them were interested in watching the excitement.At this moment, everyone knows that the merger of the five factions is a foregone conclusion, and the target of the competition should be the head of the sect.What these heroes in the Jianghu are most afraid of is long-winded disputes. Just now, the Six Immortals of Taogu and Zuo Lengchan were entangled with Zuo Lengchan just because they talked interestingly, and they were not bored. Falling down the mountain, it's still endless, it's suffocating to death, so when everyone heard Taohuaxian uttered the four words "competing with swords to win handsome", they immediately shouted loudly.Qunhao came up to the mountain and saw the Taoist of Tianmen commit suicide and kill the enemy, and Zuo Lengchan's sword cut off three limbs. These two scenes were shocking to watch. It can be said that the trip was worthwhile, but it is like the masters of the Five Sacred School fighting for the palm of their hands. There will be a great battle with the disciples, and there will be many good shows, which will be even more enjoyable.Therefore, the heroes applauded and cheered very sincerely and warmly. Linghu Chong thought to himself: "I promise Master Fangzheng and Daoist Chongxu to prevent Zuo Lengchan from becoming the head of the Five Sacred Mountains, lest he be the head of the Wuyue School. As long as the master is the head, he is selfless, and naturally everyone will be convinced. Except him Apart from the old man, who in the Five Sacred Sword Sect is worthy of this important task?" He said loudly, "There is a most suitable senior in front of us, how can everyone forget it? If the Five Sacred Sect does not have Mr. Can you find the second one? Mr. Yue has high martial arts skills and excellent insight. He is a benevolent old man, and everyone knows him. Otherwise, how could he get the nickname of "Junzi Sword"? My Hengshan School recommended Mr. Yue as the Wuyue School Master." After he said these words, the disciples of Huashan School applauded loudly. Someone in the Songshan School said: "Although Mr. Yue is good, he is always inferior to the Zuo Sect." Someone said: "The Zuo Sect is the leader of the Five Sacred Sword Sect. He has been the leader of the Five Sacred Sword Sect for so many years. It is logical to be the head of the sect. Why do you need to push others?" Another person said: "In my opinion, the head of the Five Sacred Sect is of course the left head, and there can be four assistants, Mr. Yue, Mr. Mo Da, Linghu Shaoxia, Yu...Yu...Yu...that Yuqingzi or Yuyinzi Daoist are respectively in charge, then it is quite appropriate." Tao Zhixian shouted: "Yu Jizi is not dead yet, he lost two hands and one foot, so you don't want him?" Tao Ye Xiandao: "Compete to win the handsome, compare the sword to win the handsome! Whoever has the highest martial arts will be the master!" More than a thousand Jianghu men followed suit and shouted: "Yes! Yes! Fight for handsomeness with swords, fight for handsomeness with swords!" Linghu Chong thought to himself: "In today's situation, we must first defeat Zuo Lengchan and cut off the hope of everyone in the Songshan School, otherwise my master will never be the head of the Five Sacred Mountains School." Immediately he stepped out with his sword and shouted: "Mr. Zuo, The heroes of the world are here, and they all say that we want us to compare swords to win the commander. How about I throw bricks and attract jade with you, how about a fight first?" He thought to himself: "Zuo Lengchan's yin and cold palms are very powerful, I will use kung fu with my fists and feet. But he is far away from him, but the swordsmanship will definitely not lose him. After I have won Zuo Lengchan, I will give it to the master, and no one will say anything. Even if Mr. Mo Da wants to fight, he may not win the master. A great master is killed and wounded, and there will be no good players left. Even if my swordsmanship is not Zuo Lengchan's opponent, I will lose after more than a thousand moves. After exhausting his internal energy, the master will end up fighting with him If you fight, you have a good chance of winning." He slashed two swords with his long sword, and said: "Mr. Zuo, everyone in our Wuyue Sword Sect uses swords, and the victory and defeat will be determined by the sword." He said so, then It was to seal Zuo Lengchan's mouth first, lest he propose to compare fists, kicks and palms. All the heroes cheered: "Young Hero Linghu speaks quickly and compares victory and defeat on the sword." "The winner is the master, the loser obeys orders, and fair trade is the best." "Mr. Zuo, go to the sword competition next time!" Are there any scruples, are you afraid of losing?" "What's the point of talking all this time? It's time to fight!" For a while on the top of Songshan Mountain, the yelling of the heroes became louder and louder. When there were more people, everyone followed suit.These people are just guests invited by Zuo Lengchan, who is the head of the Five Sacred Mountains sect, and how to decide the head seat has nothing to do with them. Everyone is looking forward to watching a few more good shows.Once this momentum had been achieved, it turned out to be overwhelming, and it became impossible for the head of the sect to make a decision if there was no contest of swords. Linghu Chong was overjoyed when he saw that everyone agreed with his opinion, and he shouted: "Mr. Zuo, if you don't want to compete swords with me, then you can declare in public that you will never be the head of the Five Sacred Sect. Then let the rest of the people compete." The sword is ready!" All the heroes shouted: "Competition of swords, competition of swords! It is not the heroes who are not compared, but the bears!" Many people in the Songshan School knew that Linghu Chong's swordsmanship was exquisite, Zuo Lengchan might not be sure of defeating him, but if Zuo Lengchan could not compete with him in the sword, he couldn't give any honest reason, and they all frowned for a while Brows, silent. Amidst the din, a clear voice rose from the crowd: "All the heroes speak together, and we all hope that the heads of the Five Sacred Sect will make a decision by comparing swords. We can't disobey the good wishes of all of you." It's Yue Buqun. The heroes shouted: "Mr. Yue is right in saying that he is handsome with a sword, and handsome with a sword!" Yue Buqun said: "Competing swords to win the master is originally a method, but my Five Sacred Sword Sect has merged into one, the original intention is to reduce family disputes, so as to achieve harmony and friendship in the martial arts, so the martial arts competition can only be limited to one point. If you want to win or lose, you must stop, and you must not kill your life. Otherwise, it will greatly violate the original intention of my five factions to merge." When everyone heard what he said, they fell silent.A big man said: "It's good to point it to the end, but the sword doesn't have eyes. If there is a death or injury, that is your own bad luck. Who is to blame?" Why come to snatch the head of the Five Sacred Sect?" All the heroes laughed loudly.Yue Buqun said: "That being said, it's always better not to hurt the harmony. I have a few humble opinions, please refer to them for details." Someone shouted: "Hurry up and fight, what are you talking about?" Another said: "Don't make trouble, and listen to what Mr. Yue has to say." The previous man said: "Who made trouble? You go home and ask your big sister Go!" The other side also scolded each other. Yue Buqun said: "Which one is eligible to participate in the martial arts competition, there must be a rule..." He was full of internal energy, as soon as he spoke, he suppressed the voice of the insulting person, and only listened to him continue Said: "Contest to win the commander, this handsome is the commander of the Five Sacred Sect, so if he is not a member of the Five Sacred Sect, no matter how powerful he is, he can't see Lie Xinxi, his hands itch for a while, and the end of the competition. Otherwise, the fight is" The best swordsmanship in the world', but not for the head of Ding Wuyue Sect." All the heroes said: "That's right! If you're not a member of the Wuyue Sect, naturally you can't go to the competition." Some people said: "It's not bad for everyone to fight together and compete for the 'No. 1 swordsmanship in the world'." I ignored it. Yue Buqun said: "As for how to compete in martial arts, so as not to injure the lives of people and not hurt the friendship of the same clan, Mr. Zuo please express his views." Zuo Lengchan said coldly: "Since you have used your hands, you must not injure people's lives and not hurt the harmony of the same family. It is rare. I wonder what Mr. Yue's opinion is?" Yue Buqun said: "I think it's best to ask Master Fang Zheng, Daoist Chongxu, Master Jie of the Beggar Clan, Master Yu Guan of the Qingcheng School and other respected martial arts seniors to come out to be notarized. Whoever wins and who loses will be determined A few of them judge, so that the contestants will not fight endlessly. We only decide who is better, not who will live or die." Fang Zheng said: "That's good, that's good! The eight words 'Only distinguish between superiors and inferiors, life and death are not determined' have eliminated countless bloody disasters. What is Mr. Zuo's intention?" Zuo Lengchan said: "This is the master's compassionate care for our sect, and we should obey it. The five sects of the original Wuyue Sword sect, each sect can only send one person to compete for the commander, otherwise each sect will send out hundreds of people, I don't know how to compare What year and month will there be an ending." Although the heroes felt that each faction of the Five Sacred Sword Sect only sent one person to compete, and the five factions only had five people, it was too dull.But if the five sects are all masters, no one from his sect will challenge him.Only hundreds of people from the Songshan School echoed loudly, and no one else raised any objections. Taozhixian suddenly said: "The head of the Taishan School is Yujizi, is it possible that he, a bull-nosed man with a severed arm and foot, is the one to win the martial arts competition?" ? He still has one leg left, so he can fly off and kick people." Hearing this, all the heroes laughed.
Yuyinzi of the Taishan School said angrily: "You six monsters have made my brother Yujizi crippled, and you are still talking and mocking here, and you will all have your hands and feet cut off. Come and fight alone with your Daoist, and have a competition." As he spoke, he drew out his sword and stood on the spot.This Yuyinzi was tall and thin, with a dignified appearance, and when she came out like this, she had a dignified demeanor, and her Taoist robe fluttered with the wind, making her look even more energetic.When the heroes met, many people cheered loudly. Taogen Xiandao: "Among the Taishan School, will you come out to compete in martial arts?" Taoyexian said: "Is it your fellow sect, or are you volunteering?" Yuyinzi said: "What has it to do with you?" Taoyexian said: "Of course it is relevant. And of course it is relevant. If the Taishan faction officially chooses you to compete in martial arts, then after you lose, the second person in the Taishan faction will not be able to come to the competition." Yuyinzi said: "The second person cannot come out for the competition. So what?" Suddenly someone from the Taishan School said: "Junior Brother Yuyinzi is not publicly selected by us. If he loses, there are other good players in the Taishan School, so we can fight again." It was Yuqingzi.Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Haha, there is another good player, I am afraid it is Your Excellency?" Yu Qingzi said: "Yes, maybe it is your Daoist." There was internal strife, Taoist Tianmen died, Taoist Yuji was injured, and Yuqing and Yuyin are vying to be the new head of Taishan School." Yuyinzi said: "Nonsense!" But Yuqingzi sneered a few times and didn't speak.Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Which one of the Taishan School will come out to compete?" Yuqingzi and Yuyinzi said in unison: "It's me!" Who is stronger? I can’t tell clearly, but a fight will win or lose!” Yuqingzi came out more and more, and waved: "Brother, step back, don't make others laugh." Yuyinzi said: "Why do you make others laugh? Brother Yuji was seriously injured, and I want to avenge him Resentment." Yu Qingzi said: "Are you going to take revenge, or to compete for superiority?" Yu Yinzi said: "With our rudimentary skills, are we worthy of being the head of the Wuyue Sect? Isn't that wishful thinking? I, everyone in the Taishan Sect , have already agreed that the leader of the Songshan left alliance should be the head of the Wuyue faction, why should my brothers come out and make a fool of yourself?" Yu Qingzi said: "In this case, you step back, and I will be the leader in front of the Taishan faction." Yuyinzi sneered and said, "Hmph, although you are the elder, are you able to convince others with your usual actions? Do everyone listen to you?" Yu Qingzi's face suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "What is your intention in saying this? You ignore the order of seniority, deceive masters and destroy ancestors, what does the first rule of this sect say?" Yuyinzi said: "Haha, Don't forget, we are all disciples of the Five Sacred Sect at this moment. We all joined the Five Sacred Sect at the same time in the same month. You always bring up the rules of the Taishan School to suppress people, but it’s a pity that there are only Wuyue School and no Taishan School.” Tao Zhixian interjected: “It is a great good thing to have Wuyue School but not Taishan School. Why? Yuyinzi wants to say "a pity"? You want to dismantle the Wuyue Sect and revive the Taishan Sect, don't you? Yuyinzi, why do you say the word "pity"? Yuyinzi and Yuqingzi were speechless for a while That's right." More than a thousand men shouted in unison: "Go up and fight, whoever is stronger, you will know after a fight." Yu Qingzi kept shaking the long sword in his hand, but did not step forward. Although he is a senior brother, he has always been addicted to drinking , martial arts and swordsmanship is far inferior to that of Yuyinzi.此后五岳剑派合并，但五岳派人众必将仍然分居五岳，每一处名山定有一人为首。玉磬子、玉音子二人自知本事与左冷禅差得甚远，原无做五岳派掌门的打算，但颇想回归本山之后，便为泰山之长。这时群雄怂恿之下，师兄弟势必兵戎相见，玉磬子可不敢贸然动手，只是在天下英雄之前为玉音子所屈，心中却也不甘；何况这么一来，左掌门多半会派玉音子为泰山之长，从此听他号令，终身抬不起头来了。一时之间，师兄弟二人怒目相向，僵持不决。 突然人群中一个尖利的声音说道：“我看泰山派武功的精要，你二人谁都摸不着半点边儿，偏有这么厚脸皮，在这里啰唆争吵，虚耗天下英雄的时光。” 众人向说话之人瞧去，见是个长身玉立的青年，相貌俊美，但脸色青白，嘴角边微带冷嘲，正是华山派的林平之。有人识得他的，便叫了出来：“这是华山派岳先生的新女婿。” 令狐冲心道：“林师弟向来拘谨，不多说话，不料士别三日，便当刮目相看，竟在天下英雄之前，出言讥讽这两个贼道。”适才玉磬子、玉音子二道与玉玑子狼狈为奸，逼死泰山派掌门人天门道人，向左冷禅谄媚讨好，令狐冲心中对二道极是不满，听得林平之如此辱骂，颇为痛快。 玉音子道：“我摸不着泰山派武功的边儿，阁下倒摸得着了？却要请阁下施展几手泰山派武功，好让天下英雄开开眼界。”他特别将“泰山派”三字说得极响，意思说，你是华山派弟子，武功再强，也只是华山派的，决不会连我泰山派的武功也会练。 林平之冷笑一声，说道：“泰山派武功博大精深，岂是你这等认贼为父、戕害同门的不肖之徒所能领略……”岳不群喝道：“平儿，玉音道长乃是长辈，不得无礼！”林平之应道：“是！” 玉音子怒道：“岳先生，你调教的好徒儿，好女婿！连泰山派的武功如何，他也能来胡言乱语。” 突然一个女子的声音道：“你怎知他是胡言乱语？”一个俊俏的少妇越众而出，长裙拂地，衣带飘风，鬓边插着一朵小小红花，正是岳灵珊。她背上负着一柄长剑，右手反过去握住剑柄，说道：“我便以泰山派的剑法，会会道长的高招。” 玉音子认得她是岳不群的女儿，心想岳不群这番大力赞同五派合并，左冷禅言语神情中对他甚是客气，倒也不敢得罪了她，微微一笑，说道：“岳姑娘大喜，贫道没来道贺，讨一杯喜酒喝，难道为此生我的气了吗？贵派剑法精妙，贫道向来是十分佩服的。但华山派门人居然也会使泰山派剑法，贫道今日还是首次得闻。” 岳灵珊秀眉一轩，道：“我爹爹要做五岳派掌门人，对五岳剑派每一派的剑法，自然都得钻研一番。否则的话，就算我爹爹打赢了四派掌门人，那也只是华山派独占鳌头，算不得是五岳派真正的掌门人。” 此言一出，群雄登时耸动。有人道：“岳先生要做五岳派掌门人？”有人大声道：“难道泰山、衡山、嵩山、恒山四派的武功，岳先生也都会吗？” 岳不群朗声道：“小女信口开河，小孩儿家的话，众位不可当真。” 岳灵珊却道：“嵩山左师伯，如果你能以泰衡华恒四派剑法，分别打败我四派好手，我们自然服你做五岳派掌门。否则你嵩山派的剑法就算独步天下，也不过嵩山派的剑法十分高明而已，跟别的四派，终究拉不上干系。” 群雄均想：这话确然不错。如果有人精擅五岳剑派各派剑法，以他来做五岳派掌门，自是再合适不过。可是五岳剑派每一派的剑法，都是数百年来经无数好手呕心沥血锻炼而成。有人纵得五派名师分别传授，经数十年苦练，也未必能学全五派的全部剑法，而各派秘招绝艺，都是非本派弟子不传，如说一人而能同时精擅五岳派剑法，决计无此可能。 左冷禅却想：“岳不群的女儿为什么说这番话？其中必有用意。难道岳不群当真痰迷了心窍，想跟我争夺这五岳派掌门人之位吗？” 玉音子道：“原来岳先生已精通五派剑法，那可是自从五岳剑派创派以来，从所未有的大事。贫道便请岳姑娘指点指点泰山派的剑法。” 岳灵珊道：“甚好！”刷的一声，从背上剑鞘中拔出了长剑。 玉音子心下大是着恼：“我比你父亲还长着一辈，你这女娃娃居然敢向我拔剑！”他只道岳不群定会出手阻拦，就算真要动手，华山派中也只有岳不群夫妇才堪与自己匹敌，岂知岳不群只摇头叹息，说道：“小孩子家不知天高地厚。玉音、玉磬两位前辈，乃泰山派一等一好手。你要用泰山派剑法跟他们过招，那不是自讨苦吃吗？” 玉音子心中一凛：“岳不群居然叫女儿用泰山剑法跟我过招。”一瞥眼间，只见岳灵珊右手长剑斜指而下，左手五指正在屈指而数，从一数到五，握而成拳，又将拇指伸出，次而食指，终至五指全展，跟着又屈拇指而屈食指，再屈中指，登时大吃一惊：“这女娃娃怎地懂得这一招'岱宗如何'？” 玉音子在三十余年前，曾听师父说过这一招“岱宗如何”的要旨，这一招可算得是泰山派剑法中最高深的绝艺，要旨不在右手剑招，而在左手的算数。左手不住屈指计算，算的是敌人所处方位、武功门派、身形长短、兵刃大小，以及日光所照高低等等，计算极为繁复，一经算准，挺剑击出，无不中的。当时玉音子心想，要在顷刻之间，将这种种数目尽皆算得清清楚楚，自知无此本领，其时并未深研，听过便罢。他师父对此术其实也未精通，只说：“这招'岱宗如何'使起来太过艰难，似乎不切实用，实则威力无俦。你既无心详参，那是与此招无缘，也只好算了。你的几个师兄弟都不及你细心，他们更不能练。可惜本派这一招博大精深、世无其匹的剑招，从此便要失传了。”玉音子见师父并未勉强自己苦练苦算，暗自欣喜，此后在泰山派中也从未见人练过，不料事隔数十年，竟见岳灵珊这年轻少妇使了出来，霎时之间，额头上出了一片汗珠。 他从未听师父说过如何对付此招，只道自己既然不练，旁人也决不会使这奇招，自无需设法拆解，岂知世事之奇，竟有大出于意料之外者。情急智生，自忖：“我急速改变方位，蹿高伏低，她自然算我不准。”当即长剑一晃，向右滑出三步，一招“青天无云”，转过身来，身子微矮，长剑斜刺，离岳灵珊右肩尚有五尺，便已圈转，跟着一招“峻岭横空”，去势奇疾而收剑极快。只见岳灵珊站在原地不动，右手长剑的剑尖不住晃动，左手五指仍伸屈不定。玉音子展开剑势，身随剑走，左边一拐，右边一弯，越转越急。 这路剑法叫做“泰山十八盘”，乃泰山派昔年一位名宿所创，他见泰山山门下十八盘处羊肠曲折，五步一转，十步一回，势甚险峻，因而将地势融入剑法之中，与八卦门的“八卦游身掌”有异曲同工之妙。泰山“十八盘”越盘越高，越行越险，这路剑招也是越转越狠辣。玉音子每一剑似乎均要在岳灵珊身上对穿而过，其实自始至终，并未出过一招真正杀着。 他双目所注，不离岳灵珊左手五根手指的不住伸屈。昔年师父有言：“这一招'岱宗如何'，可说是我泰山剑法之宗，击无不中，杀人不用第二招。剑法而到这地步，已是超凡入圣。你师父也不过是略知皮毛，真要练到精绝，那可谈何容易？”想到师父这些话，背上冷汗一阵阵地渗了出来。 那泰山“十八盘”，有“缓十八、紧十八”之分，正面十八处盘旋较缓，侧坡十八处盘旋甚紧，一步高一步，所谓“后人见前人履底，前人见后人发顶”。泰山派这路剑法，纯从泰山这条陡道的地势中化出，也是忽缓忽紧，回旋曲折。 令狐冲见岳灵珊既不挡架，也不闪避，左手五指不住伸屈，似乎在计算数目，不由得心下大急，只想大叫：“小师妹，小心！”但这五个字塞在喉头，始终叫不出来。 玉音子这路剑法将要使完，长剑始终不敢递到岳灵珊身周二尺之处。岳灵珊长剑倏地刺出，一连五剑，每一剑的剑招皆苍然有古意。一旁玉磬子失声叫道：“'五大夫剑！'”泰山有松树极古，相传为秦时所封之“五大夫松”，虬枝斜出，苍翠相掩。玉磬子、玉音子的师伯祖曾由此而悟出一套剑法来，便称之为“五大夫剑”。这套剑法招数古朴，内藏奇变，玉磬子二十余年前便已学得精熟，但眼见岳灵珊这五招似是而非，与自己所学颇有不同，却显然又比原来剑法高明得多，心下惊诧之余，慢慢走近，要想看个仔细。岳灵珊突然纤腰一弯，挺剑向他刺去，叫道：“这也是你泰山派的剑法吗？” 玉磬子急举剑相架，叫道：“'来鹤清泉'，如何不是泰山剑法，不过……”这一招虽然架开，却已惊得出了一身冷汗，敌剑之来，方位与自己所学大不相同，这一剑险些便透胸而过。岳灵珊道：“是泰山剑法就好！”刷的一声，反手砍向玉音子。玉磬子道：“'石关回马'！你使得不……不大对……”岳灵珊道：“剑招名字，你记得倒熟。”长剑展开，刷刷两剑，只听玉音子“啊”的一声大叫，右腿已然中剑。几乎便在同一刹那，玉磬子右膝中剑，一个踉跄，右腿一屈，跪了下来，急忙以剑支地撑起，力道用得猛了，剑尖又刚好撑在一块麻石之上，啪的一响，长剑断为两截，口中兀自说道：“'快活三'！不过……不过……” 岳灵珊一声冷笑，将长剑反手插入背上剑鞘。 旁观群雄轰然叫好。这样一位年轻美貌的少妇，竟在举手投足之间，以泰山派剑法将两位泰山派高手杀败，剑法之妙，令人看得心旷神怡，这一番喝彩声，当真山谷鸣响。 左冷禅与嵩山派的几名高手对望一眼，都大为疑虑：“这女娃娃所使确是泰山剑法。然而其中大有更改，剑招老练狠辣，决非这女娃娃所能琢磨而得，定是岳不群暗中练就了传授于她。要练成这路剑法，不知要花多少时日，岳不群如此处心积虑，其志决不在小。” 玉音子突然大叫：“你……你……这不是真的'岱宗如何'！”他于中剑受伤之后，这才省悟，岳灵珊只不过摆个“岱宗如何”的架子，其实并非真的会算，否则的话，她一招即已取胜，又何必再使“五大夫剑”、“来鹤清泉”、“石关回马”、“快活三”等等招术？更气人的是，她竟将泰山派的剑招在关键处忽加改动，自己和师哥二人仓促之际，不及多想，自然而然以数十年来练熟了的剑招拆解，而她出剑方位陡变，以致师兄弟俩双双中计落败。倘若她使的是别派剑法，不论招式如何精妙，凭着自己剑术上的修为，决不能输了给这娇怯怯的少妇。但她使的确是泰山派剑法，却又不是假的，心中既惭愧气恼，又惊惶诧异，更有七分上了当的不服气。 令狐冲眼见岳灵珊以这几招剑法破敌，心下一片迷茫，忽听得背后有人低声道：“令狐公子，这几招剑法是你教她的？”令狐冲回过头来，见说话的是田伯光，便摇了摇头。田伯光微笑道：“那日在华山顶上，你和我动手，记得你便曾使过这一招来鹤清什么的，只不过那时你还没使熟。” 令狐冲神色茫然，宛如不闻。当岳灵珊一出手，他便瞧了出来，她所使的乃是华山思过崖后洞石壁上所刻的泰山派剑法。但自己在后洞石壁上发现剑招石刻之事，并未对华山派任何人提过，当日离开思过崖，记得已将后洞的洞口掩好，岳灵珊怎会发现？转念又想：“我既能发现后洞，小师妹当然也能发现。何况我已在无意中打开了洞口，小师妹便易找得多了。” 他在华山思过崖后洞，见到石壁上所刻五岳剑法的绝招，以及魔教诸长老破解各家剑法的法门，虽于所刻招数记得颇熟，但这些招数叫做什么名字，却全然不知。眼见岳灵珊最后三剑使得犹似行云流水，大有善御者驾轻车而行熟路之意，三剑之间击伤泰山派两名高手，将石壁上的剑招发挥得淋漓尽致，心下也暗自赞叹。又听得玉磬子说出“快活三”三字，想起当年曾随师父去过泰山，过水帘洞后，一条长长的山道斜坡，名为“快活三”，意思说连续三里，顺坡而下，走起来十分快活，想不到这连环三剑，竟是从这条斜坡化出。
一个瘦削的老者缓步而出，说道：“岳先生精擅五岳剑派各派剑法，实是武林中从所未有。老朽潜心参研本派剑法，有许多处所没法明白，今日正好向岳先生请教。”他左手拿着一把抚摩得晶光发亮的胡琴，右手从琴柄中慢慢抽出一柄剑身极细的短剑，正是衡山派掌门莫大先生。 岳灵珊躬身道：“莫师伯手下留情。侄女胡乱学得几手衡山派剑法，请莫师伯指点。” 莫大先生口说“今日正好向岳先生请教”，原是向岳不群索战，不料岳灵珊一句话便接了过去，还言明是用衡山派剑法。莫大先生江湖上威名素著，群雄适才又听得左冷禅言道，嵩山派好手大嵩阳手费彬便死在他剑下，均想：“难道岳灵珊以泰山剑法伤了两名泰山派高手，又能以衡山剑法与他对敌？” 莫大先生微笑道：“很好，很好！了不起，了不起！”岳灵珊道：“等到侄女敌不过莫师伯，再由我爹爹上场。”莫大先生喃喃地道：“敌得过的，敌得过的！”短剑慢慢指出，突然间在空中一颤，发出嗡嗡之声，跟着便是嗡嗡两剑。岳灵珊举剑招架，莫大先生的短剑如鬼如魅，竟已绕到了岳灵珊背后。 岳灵珊急忙转身，耳边只听得嗡嗡两声，眼前有一团头发飘过，却是自己的头发已给莫大先生削了一截下来。她大急之下，心念电转：“他这是手下留情，否则适才这一剑已然杀了我。他既不伤我，便可和他对攻。”当下更不理会对方剑势来路，刷刷两剑，分向莫大先生小腹与额头刺去。 莫大先生微微一惊：“这两招'泉鸣芙蓉'、'鹤翔紫盖'，确是我衡山派绝招，这小姑娘如何学得了去？” 衡山七十二峰，以芙蓉、紫盖、石廪、天柱、祝融五峰最高。衡山派剑法之中，也有五路剑法，分别以这五座高峰为名。莫大先生眼见适才岳灵珊所出，均是“一招包一路”的剑法，在一招之中，包含了一路剑法中数十招的精要。“芙蓉剑法”三十六招，“紫盖剑法”四十八招。“泉鸣芙蓉”与“鹤翔紫盖”两招剑法，分别将芙蓉剑法、紫盖剑法每一路数十招中的精奥之处，融会简化而入一招，一招之中有攻有守，威力之强，为衡山剑法之冠，是以这五招剑法，合称“衡山五神剑”。 众人只听得铮铮铮之声不绝，不知两人谁攻谁守，也不知在顷刻间两人已拆了几招。 莫大先生事事谋定而后动，“比剑夺帅”之议既决，他便即筹思对策。他绝无半分要当五岳派掌门人之念，更知不是左冷禅和令狐冲的敌手，但身为衡山掌门，不能自始至终龟缩不出。他气恼玉磬子为虎作伥，逼死天门道人，本拟和这道人一拚，岂知泰山三子一上来便先后受伤，于是剩下的对手便只岳不群一人。他在少林寺中，已将岳不群的武功瞧得清清楚楚，自己不致输了于他，但上来动手的竟是岳不群的女儿。岳灵珊会使衡山派剑法，他已是一惊，而她所使的更是衡山剑法中最上乘的“一招包一路”，更令他心中尽是惊惧惶惑。 莫大先生的师祖和师叔祖，当年在华山绝顶与魔教十长老会斗，双双毙命。其时莫大先生的师父年岁尚轻，芙蓉、紫盖等五路剑法是学全了，但“一招包一路”的“泉鸣芙蓉”、“鹤翔紫盖”那五招衡山神剑，却只知了个大概。莫大先生自然也未得师父详加传授指点。岂知此刻竟会在别派一个年轻女子剑底显了出来。只是岳灵珊那两招只得剑形而未得其意，否则的话，莫大先生心神激荡之际，在第二招上便已落败。 他好容易接过了这两招，只见岳灵珊长剑晃动，正是一招“石廪书声”，跟着又是一招“天柱云气”。那“天柱剑法”主要是从云雾中变化出来，极尽诡奇之能事，动向无定，不可捉摸。莫大先生一见岳灵珊使出“天柱云气”，他见机极快，当即不架而走。所谓不架而走，那不过说得好听，其实是打不过而逃跑。只是他剑法变化繁复，逃走之际，短剑东刺西削，使人眼花缭乱，不知他已是在使三十六策中的上策。 他知衡山五大神剑之中，除了“泉鸣芙蓉”、“鹤翔紫盖”、“石廪书声”、“天柱云气”之外，最厉害的一招叫做“雁回祝融”。衡山五高峰中，以祝融峰最高，这招“雁回祝融”，在衡山五神剑中也最为精深。莫大先生的师父当年说到这一招时，含糊其词，并说自己也不大清楚，如岳灵珊再使出这一招来，自己纵不丧命当场，那也非大大出丑不可。他脚下急闪，短剑急挥，心念急转：“她虽学到了奇招，看来只会呆使，不会随机应变。说不得，只好冒险跟她拚上一拚，否则莫大今后也不用再在江湖上混了。” 眼见岳灵珊脚步微一迟疑，知她一时之间拿不定主意，到底要追呢还是不追，莫大先生暗叫：“惭愧！毕竟年轻人没见识。”岳灵珊以这招“天柱云气”逼得莫大先生转身而逃，他虽掩饰得高明，似乎未呈败象，但武功高明之士，人人都已见到他不敌而走的窘态。倘若岳灵珊立时收剑行礼，说道：“莫师伯，承让！侄女得罪。”那么胜败便已分了。莫大先生何等身分地位，岂能败了一招之后，再转身与后辈女子缠斗？可是岳灵珊竟然犹豫，实是莫大先生难得之极的良机。 但见岳灵珊笑靥甫展，樱唇微张，正要说话，莫大先生手中短剑嗡嗡作响，向她直扑过去。这几下急剑，乃莫大先生毕生功力之所聚，剑发琴音，光环乱转，霎时之间已将岳灵珊裹在一团剑光之中。岳灵珊一声惊呼，连退了几步。莫大先生岂容她缓出手来施展那招“雁回祝融”？他手中短剑越使越快，一套百变千幻云雾十三式有如云卷雾涌，旁观者不由得目为之眩，若不是群雄觉得莫大先生颇有以长凌幼、以男欺女之嫌，彩声早已大作。 当岳灵珊使出“泉鸣芙蓉”等几招时，令狐冲更无怀疑，她这几路剑法，是从华山思过崖后洞的石壁上学来的，寻思：“小师妹为什么会到思过崖去？师父、师娘对她甚是疼爱，当然不会罚她在这荒僻的危崖上静坐思过。就算她犯了什么重大过失，师父、师娘也不过严加斥责而已。思过崖与华山主峰相距不近，地形又极凶险，即令是一个寻常女弟子，也不会罚她孤零零地去住在崖上。难道是林师弟受罚到崖上思过，小师妹每日去送饭送茶，便像她从前待我那样吗？”想到此处，不由得心口一热。 又想：“林师弟沉默寡言，循规蹈矩，宛然便是一位'小君子剑'。他正因此而得到师父、师娘和小师妹的欢心，怎会犯错而受罚到崖上思过？何况师父早就要将小师妹配给林师弟。不会，不会，决计不会！”猛然想起：“难道小师妹……小师妹……”内心深处突然浮起一个念头，可是这念头太过荒唐，刚浮入脑海，便即压下，一时心中恍恍惚惚，到底是个什么念头，自己也不大清楚。 便在此时，只听得岳灵珊“啊”的一声惊呼，长剑脱手斜飞，左足一滑，仰跌在地。莫大先生手中短剑伸出，指向她的左肩，笑道：“侄女请起，不用惊慌！” 突然间啪的一声响，莫大先生手中短剑断折，却是岳灵珊从地下拾起了两块圆石，左手圆石砸在莫
