Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six
Fearing that Linghu Chong might make a mistake, Yingying rushed to the cart and said, "Brother Chong, someone is here!"
Linghu Chong laughed and said, "You've been eavesdropping on people killing chickens and feeding dogs again, aren't you? Why have you been listening for so long?" Yingying pouted, thinking that Yue Lingshan was indeed going to be in the cart with Lin Pingzhi just now. "Being a real couple", couldn't help but his face was full of fever, and said: "They...they are talking about practicing...practicing the evil sword technique." Linghu Chong said: "You must be eccentric when you talk, get in the car quickly , tell me, don’t hide and deny it.” Yingying said: “Don’t come up! You’re so rude.” Linghu Chong laughed and said, “Why are you so rude?” Yingying said: “I don’t know!” Yingying said: "The number of people I heard is the disciples of the Qingcheng faction who have not died yet, so they really came here for revenge!"
Linghu Chong sat up and said: "Let's go slowly, the time is almost here." Yingying said: "Yes." She knew that Linghu Chong cared about Yue Lingshan very much, since the enemy attacked, no matter how seriously he was injured, he would not come to help him No, what's more, let him stay in the car alone, and go to save people by himself, he is not at ease, so he helped him get out of the car right away.
Linghu Chong stepped on the ground with his left foot, and felt a slight pain from the wound. One side of his body touched the shaft of the car.The mules pulling the cart have been silent all the time. When the cart moves, it only wants to drive it along, and when it raises its head, it wants to neigh.With a wave of Yingying's dagger, she cut off the mule's head very neatly.Linghu Chong praised softly: "Good!" He didn't praise her for her quick swordsmanship, with her martial arts, it's not unusual for a mule's head to fall with a quick swing of her sword, what's rare is that her decision was quick and clear, without thinking, and she didn't think about it. Let the mule make a sound.As for how to pull the cart and drive on the road in the future, that is another matter.
Linghu Chong walked a few steps, and he heard the sound of riding hoofs getting closer, so he quickened his pace immediately.Yingying thought: "He wants to overtake the enemy, and he walks so fast that it will inevitably hurt the wound. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I stretched out my arms to hug him?" She smiled lightly and said, "Brother Chong, I'm going to offend you." Before Linghu Chong could reply, he grabbed his waistband with his right hand and his collar with his left hand, lifted him sideways, started his lightness kung fu, and rushed forward from the sorghum bushes.Linghu Chong was grateful and funny at the same time, he thought to himself that he was the head of the Hengshan sect, holding her in his hands like a baby, if someone saw her, he would really lose face, but if it wasn't like this, he might be the leader of the Qingcheng sect. The crowd arrived first, and the younger junior sister was in danger. This move was obviously out of her own heart.
Yingying ran out dozens of steps, and the sound of the horse's hooves came much closer.She turned her head to look, and saw a row of torches held high in the darkness, galloping along the main road, and said: "These people are so courageous, they even lighted torches to chase after them." Linghu Chong said: "They fought desperately, regardless of everything Ah, that's not good!" Yingying thought of it immediately, and said, "The Qingcheng faction is going to set fire to the car." Linghu Chong said, "Let's go up and stop them from coming over." Yingying said, "Don't worry, we have to save the two Personally, I can still do it." Linghu Chong knew that her martial arts were amazing, Yu Canghai was dead in the Qingcheng faction, and the rest were insignificant, so he was relieved at the moment.
Yingying grabbed Linghu Chong, walked a few feet away from Yue Lingshan's cart, helped him to sit in the sorghum bushes, and said in a low voice, "Sit quietly and don't move."
I only heard Yue Lingshan say in the car: "The enemy is coming soon, it really is the rats of the Qingcheng faction." Lin Pingzhi said: "How do you know?" Hmph, unscrupulous!" Lin Pingzhi asked: "Is everyone holding torches?" Yue Lingshan said: "That's right." Lin Pingzhi has gone through many hardships and is thoughtful, much smarter than Yue Lingshan, he hurriedly said: "Get out of the car quickly The rats are going to set fire to the car!" Yue Lingshan thought right, and said: "Yes! Otherwise, why do you need so many torches?" She jumped out of the car and reached out to hold Lin Pingzhi's hand.Lin Pingzhi also jumped down.The two walked several feet away and lay down among sorghum bushes, not far from where Linghu Chong and Yingying were lying.
The sound of hooves was loud, Qingcheng sent people to approach the cart, first blocked the way, and surrounded the cart.One person shouted: "Lin Pingzhi, you bastard, are you a turtle? Why don't you stick your head out?" Everyone heard the silence in the car, and someone said: "I'm afraid you got out of the car and ran away." There was only a torch Row through the darkness and throw it at the cart.
Suddenly a hand stretched out from the car, caught the torch, and threw it back.
Everyone in Qingcheng shouted, "The dog thief is in the car! The dog thief is in the car!" Linghu Chong and Yingying saw someone in the car reaching out and throwing a torch back. Another strong support.Yue Lingshan was even more surprised, she had been talking to Lin Pingzhi for a long time, but she never expected that there was someone else in the car, seeing this person throwing the torch, his gestures were extremely vigorous, and his martial arts were obviously not low.
Qingcheng disciples threw eight torches, the man caught them one by one, and threw them back one by one, although no one was hurt, the remaining Qingcheng disciples did not throw torches anymore, they just surrounded the cart from a distance, shouting in unison.Under the firelight, everyone could see clearly that the hand was dry and yellow, with bulging veins, and it was the hand of an old man.Someone shouted: "It's not Lin Pingzhi!" Another said: "It's not his wife either." Someone shouted: "The son of a turtle dare not get out of the car, he is probably injured too."
The crowd hesitated for a while, seeing that there was no movement in the cart, they suddenly shouted, more than 20 people rushed forward, each holding a long sword, and stabbed into the cart.
Hearing the sound of Bo, one person jumped out from the roof of the car, with a sword in his hand flashing, he jumped behind the disciples of the Qingcheng sect, swung the sword, and the two disciples of Qingcheng fell to the ground immediately.
This person was wearing a yellow shirt, which seemed to be dressed by the Songshan school, his face was covered with a blue cloth, only his eyes were shining, he was very fast with his sword, and after several moves, two more Qingcheng disciples fell to the ground.Linghu Chong and Yingying clasped their hands, thinking of the same thought: "This man is using the evil sword technique again."
But looking at his figure, he is by no means Yue Buqun.The two of them had the same thought again: "Apart from Yue Buqun, Lin Pingzhi, and Zuo Lengchan, there is actually a fourth person who knows how to ward off evil swords." Yue Lingshan said in a low voice, "What this person used, It seems to be the same as your swordsmanship." Lin Pingzhi said "Hey" and wondered: "He... he can also use my swordsmanship? Are you reading it right?"
In a short while, three more people from the Qingcheng faction were hit by the sword.But Linghu Chong and Yingying have both noticed that although this man's sword move is to ward off evil, his flashing leap forward and backward is far from Dongfang Bubai, and it is not as good as Yue Buqun and Lin Pingzhi's elusiveness, it is just him himself His martial arts are very high, far superior to all the disciples of the Qingcheng School, and coupled with his marvelous swordsmanship against evil, he still has the upper hand against all of them with one opponent.
Yue Lingshan said: "His swordsmanship seems to be the same as yours, but his strikes are not as fast as yours." Lin Pingzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "If you do not strike quickly, it is not in line with the essence of my swordsmanship. But...but, who is he? Why do you use this sword technique?"
Amidst the sound of fighting, one of Qingcheng's disciples pierced his chest with a long sword, that person shouted loudly, drew out his sword, and cut the other person in half.The rest of the people were terrified and scattered in all directions.The man shouted and rushed two steps forward.Some of Qingcheng's disciples yelled "Ah", turned around and ran away, the rest of them were discouraged and left in a swarm.Some two rode together, and some were not as good as riding a horse. They galloped on foot and disappeared in an instant.
The man was obviously quite tired, his long sword resting on the ground, and he couldn't stop panting.From his breathing, Linghu Chong and Yingying knew that this person had just had a violent fight, although it lasted for a short time, it had exhausted a lot of internal energy, most likely he had also suffered serious secret injuries.
At this time, seven or eight torches were still burning underground, and the flames were shining, and the light and shade were uncertain.
The old man in the yellow shirt panted for a while, raised his long sword, slowly put it into the scabbard, and said: "Lin Shaoxia, Mrs. Lin, I am ordered by the left head of Songshan Mountain to come to help." His voice was extremely low, hoarse, every word They all spoke indistinctly, as if there was something in the mouth, or a part of the tongue was missing, and the voice came from the throat.
Lin Pingzhi said: "Thank you for your help, I would like to ask Gao's name." As he spoke, he and Yue Lingshan came out of the sorghum bushes.The old man said: "The head of the left learned that the young man and his wife were badly injured because of the murder of a traitor. I ordered you to escort the two of them to a safe place for treatment and recuperation. Gu Bao Ling Yue couldn't find them."
Yingying, Lin Pingzhi, and Yue Lingshan all thought: "How could Zuo Lengchan know all the joints? Well, this man was in the car, and he listened to everything." Linghu Chong didn't understand, "Guanbao Lingyue couldn't find it." "The meaning of these words.
Lin Pingzhi said: "I am very grateful for the kindness of the head of the left and Your Excellency. I can take care of myself during the healing period, but I dare not bother you." The old man said: "The young man's eyes are for Saibei Ming camel Injured by the venom, not only is it very difficult to recover, but also the poison this person used is so vicious, if the left sect doesn't personally use the knife, the medicine stone, I'm afraid... I'm afraid... the young hero's life will not be saved."
Ever since Lin Pingzhi was poisoned by Mu Gaofeng's poisonous water, his eyes and face were itchy and unbearable. He wished he could dig out his eyeballs with his fingers. With great endurance, he forcibly restrained himself. Knowing that what this person said was true, he pondered Said: "I have no relatives and no reasons for the left head. How can the left head be so loving? If you don't say it clearly, it will be difficult for me to obey orders."
The old man chuckled and said: "If you share the same hatred, it is like having a relationship. The left master's eyes were injured by Yue Buqun. Your Excellency's eyes were injured. If you look for the reason, the culprit is also from Yue Buqun." Since Yue Buqun knew that the Shaoxia had already practiced the evil sword technique, the Shaoxia avoided to the ends of the earth, and he must chase and kill you. He is the head of the Wuyue Sect at this time, and his power is so powerful, how can the Shaoxia do it alone? To fight against it? What's more... let alone...hehe, Yue Buqun's biological daughter is always by the young hero's side, and the young hero has the ability to reach the sky, so it's hard to prevent the plotting by the bedside..."
Yue Lingshan suddenly said loudly: "Second Senior Brother, it's you!"
When she cried out, Linghu Chong's whole body shook.He heard the old man's voice, although his voice was very vague, but his tone sounded very familiar, he felt that he was a familiar person, when he heard Yue Lingshan's call, he immediately realized that this person was indeed Lao Denuo.It's just that I heard Yue Lingshan say that Lao Denuo had been killed in Fuzhou, so I never thought it was him, but the death news that Yue Lingshan said before is not true.
The old man said coldly: "The little girl is also alert, and recognized my voice." He no longer spoke in a guttural voice, and his voice was clear, it was indeed Lao Denuo.
Yue Lingshan said: "Second Senior Brother, you pretended to be killed by someone in Fuzhou, but...but Eighth Senior Brother was killed by you?"
Laudno snorted, and said, "No. Imbero is a child, insignificant. Why should I kill him?"
Yue Lingshan said loudly: "Are you still saying it's not true? He...Xiao Linzi took the sword on his back, and you were the one who cut it. I have always wronged Senior Brother. Hmph, it turned out that you did a good deed, and you killed another old man , chopped off his face to pieces, and put your clothes on the dead man, everyone will say that you were killed by someone." Lao Denuo said: "You are right, if not, how could Yue Buqun be so easy Let me go? But I didn't cut the sword on Lin Shaoxia's back." Yue Lingshan said: "It wasn't you? Could it be someone else?"
Lao Denuo said coldly: "That's not someone else, it's your father." Yue Lingshan shouted: "Nonsense! I did something bad, but I came here to spit blood. My father is so good. " Lao Denuo said: "It's just because at that time, your father had obtained the "Sword Manual of Exorcising Evil" from Linghu Chong. This sword manual belonged to the Lin family, and the first person Yue Buqun wanted to kill was your Ping Brother, Lin Pingzhi seems to be living in this world, how can your father practice evil swordsmanship?"
Yue Lingshan was speechless for a while, in her heart, she also knew that these words were very reasonable, but when she thought of her father's plot against Lin Pingzhi, she always refused to believe it.She said a few words of "nonsense" and said, "Even if my father wants to harm Brother Ping, can a sword kill him?"
Lin Pingzhi suddenly said: "This sword was indeed cut by Yue Buqun, Second Senior Brother was right."
Yue Lingshan said: "You...you...you say that too?"
Lin Pingzhi said: "Yue Buqun slashed my back with a sword. I was seriously injured. I knew I couldn't fight back. After I fell to the ground, I immediately pretended to be dead. At that time, I didn't know that it was Yue Buqun who plotted against me. , but in a coma, he heard Eighth Brother’s voice, and he called out: ‘Master!’ Eighth Brother said ‘Master’ and saved my life, but cost his own.” Yue Lingshan said in shock: "You said that the eighth brother also... also... was also killed by my father?" Lin Pingzhi said: "Of course! I only heard the eighth brother call 'Master', and then let out a miserable cry. I also Just passed out, and I don't know about personnel."
Lao Denuo said: "Yue Buqun wanted to stab you again, but I was watching in the dark, so I coughed lightly. Yue Buqun didn't dare to stay, so he went back to the house immediately. Brother Lin, my cough , it can also be said to have saved your life."
Yue Lingshan said: "If my father really wants to harm you, there will be many opportunities in the future, why won't he do it again?" Lin Pingzhi said coldly: "I will be on guard every step of the way, so that he will never have the chance to do anything again. That's thanks to you, I'm with you all day long, and it's not so convenient for him to kill me." Yue Lingshan cried, "It turns out...it turns out...the reason why you married me was to deceive others, and...and also ...just use me as a shield."
Lin Pingzhi ignored her, and said to Lao Denuo: "Brother Lao, when did you become acquainted with the Zuo Sect?" " Lin Pingzhi said: "It turns out that you have switched to the Songshan sect." Lao Denuo said: "It's not that you have changed to the Songshan sect. I have always been a Songshan sect, but I was ordered by my mentor to join Huashan. Investigate Yue Buqun's martial arts and all the movements of the Huashan School."
Linghu Chong suddenly realized.Everyone in the sect knows that Lao Denuo led an art investment teacher, but the martial arts he demonstrated was mixed and mediocre, it seems to be passed down from a sect in Yunnan and Guizhou, but he was never expected to be a senior disciple of Songshan.It turned out that Zuo Lengchan intended to annex the four sects, and he had planned it for a long time, and he had laid down this pawn a long time ago; then it is logical that Lao Denuo killed Lu Dayou and stole the secret manual of Zixia's magical skills, and there is nothing unusual about it.It's just that the master is extremely vigilant, so he would hide it from him.
Lin Pingzhi pondered for a moment, and said: "So that's how it is. Brother Lao brought the secret book of Zixia's magical skills and the "Sword Manual of Dispelling Evil" from the Huashan Gate to Songshan, so that the left master can learn this sword technique. His contribution is not small."
Both Linghu Chong and Yingying nodded secretly, thinking: "The reason why Zuo Lengchan and Lao Denuo know how to ward off evil swordsmanship is because of this. Lin Pingzhi's mind is also very quick."
Lao Denuo said bitterly: "To tell you the truth, brother Lin, you and I, together with my mentor, have fallen under the hands of this villain, Yue Buqun. This man is extremely insidious, and we have all fallen into his tricks." Lin Ping Zhidao: "Hey, I understand. The "Evil Resisting Sword Manual" that Brother Lao stole has been tampered with by Yue Buqun, so the evil swordsmanship used by Zuo Zhangmen and Brother Lao is not quite right. "
Laodenuo gritted his teeth and said: "When I sneaked into the Huashan sect, it turned out that Yue Buqun discovered it from the very beginning, so he just kept his face and paid attention to my actions. In Fuzhou that day, it was revealed that I stole the Zixia secret book. The Huashan School couldn't stay any longer, but I still followed in secret, spying on Yue Buqun's every move. Unexpectedly, he deliberately let me steal the fake sword manual, so that the sword skills learned by my mentor were incomplete. In the "Sword Manual", although the sword skills recorded are excellent, they are all plausible, and there is no way to practice inner strength. When it comes to the decisive battle of life and death, he asked my mentor to use this sword skill, and use the real sword skill to counter the fake sword skill. It's a surefire way to win. Otherwise, how could the head of the Five Sacred Sect fall into his hands?"
Lin Pingzhi sighed, and said, "Yue Buqun is treacherous and dangerous, you and I have fallen into his trap."
Lao Denuo said: "My mentor is very sensible. Although he broke something big for me, he didn't blame me a word, but how can I be at ease as a disciple? Guo, I also want to kill Yue Buqun, the traitor, to avenge my teacher." These few words were filled with anger, showing deep hatred in his heart.
Lin Pingzhi hummed.Lao Denuo said again: "My benefactor broke his eyes, and now he is living in seclusion on the West Peak of Songshan Mountain. There are more than a dozen people with broken eyes on the West Peak, all of whom were killed by Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong. Brother Lin, follow me My benefactor, you are the only successor of the Fuzhou Lin family's evil-dispelling sword sect, and you are the head of the evil-dispelling sword sect. My benefactor should treat each other with courtesy and respect. If your eyes can be healed, it will be the best, otherwise you will be with me Wouldn't it be wonderful for our mentor to live in seclusion together and conspire to avenge this great revenge?"
These words only made Lin Pingzhi's heart skip a beat, thinking that his eyes were stained by the venom, and he knew that there was no hope of regaining his sight. The so-called cure is just self-deception and masturbation. It's the best way to fight against the enemy, but I know that Zuo Lengchan's methods are powerful, and if he suddenly treats himself so well, he must have other plans, so he said: "Leader Zuo has a good intention, but I don't know how to repay it. Excuse me." Brother, can you make it clear first?"
Lao Denuo laughed, and said: "Brother Lin is a sensible person. We will work together in the future, and we should tell each other frankly. I took a sword manual from Yue Buqun's place, and tired my master and apprentice." Naturally, I was not willing to be fooled. Along the way, I saw Brother Lin showing great power, killing Mu Gaofeng, Zhu Yu Canghai, and Qingcheng Clown with incomparable swordsmanship along the way. It is obvious that he has acquired the true teaching of evil swordsmanship, Brother Yu I really admire it, but I’m so envious..." Lin Pingzhi understood what he meant, and said, "Brother Lao, you want me to take out the real copy of "Sword of Dispelling Evil" for the sages to see?" Lauder Nuo said: "This is the secret book of Brother Lin's family biography. Outsiders shouldn't peek at it. But from now on, we will form an alliance with blood and work together to kill Yue Buqun. If Brother Lin has both eyes intact and is young and strong, he will not be afraid of him. But in today's situation, only my mentor and brother Yu have learned the evil sword art, and the three of them work together to have the hope of killing Yue Buqun, no wonder Brother Lin."
Lin Pingzhi thought: I am blind, I really don't know how to survive, what's more, if I don't agree, Lao Denuo will use force to kill himself and Yue Lingshan, if Lao Denuo's proposal is sincere, then The benefits outweigh the harm, so he said, "Leader Zuo and brother Lao are willing to form an alliance with me, and I am a high-ranking man. The family's ruin, blindness, and disability were caused by Yu Canghai, but Yue Buqun's conspiracy was also the main reason. The desire to kill Yue Buqun is no different from that of a virtuous master and disciple. Since you and I have formed an alliance, how dare I keep this "Evil Resisting Sword Manual" secret, and I should take it out for the reference of the virtuous master and disciple."
Lao Denuo was overjoyed, and said: "Brother Lin is so generous, my master and apprentice can get a glimpse of the true formula of "Sword of Dispelling Evil", and I am very grateful. From now on, Brother Lin will always be my guest of honor from Songshan. You and I are brothers and sisters, and we will never be separated. Each other." Lin Pingzhi said: "Thank you very much. After I arrived at Songshan Mountain with Brother Lao, I immediately recited all the true formulas of the sword book." Lao Denuo said: "Did you recite it?"
Lin Pingzhi said: "That's right. Brother Lao didn't know that this sword manual was originally recorded on a cassock by my great-grandfather Yuan Tugong. This cassock was stolen by Yue Buqun, so he was able to see it. My family's swordsmanship. Later, by accident, this cassock fell into my hands again. I was afraid that Yue Buqun would find out, so I immediately destroyed the cassock after memorizing the sword manual. Together, how can someone surnamed Lin survive to this day?"
Yue Lingshan was listening and kept silent. Hearing his sarcasm, she began to cry again, "You...you..."
Laodenuo once heard the conversation between his husband and wife in the car, knowing what Lin Pingzhi said was true, he said: "That's very good, how about we go back to Songshan together?" Lin Pingzhi said: "Very good." Laodenuo Said: "You must abandon the car and ride the horse, and change to the trail, otherwise you will bump into Yue Buqun on the way, and we are still no match for him." He turned his head and asked Yue Lingshan: "Little sister, will you help father from now on? Or help your husband? ?”
Yue Lingshan put down her crying and said, "I'm not helping each other! I... I'm a hard-working person. I'm going to become a monk tomorrow. No matter whether it's my father or my husband, I won't see each other again."
Lin Pingzhi said coldly: "You went to Mount Heng to become a nun, you deserved it." Yue Lingshan said angrily: "Lin Pingzhi, when you were desperate, if my father hadn't rescued you, you would have died at the hands of Mu Gaofeng. How can we have today? Even if my father is sorry to you, I, Yue Lingshan, am not sorry to you. What do you mean by that?"
Lin Pingzhi said: "What do you mean? I want to express my heart to the left master." The voice was extremely fierce.
Suddenly, Yue Lingshan let out a miserable "ah".
Linghu Chong and Yingying shouted at the same time: "Not good!" and jumped out of the sorghum bushes.Linghu Chong yelled: "Lin Pingzhi, don't hurt my junior sister!"
What Laudenuo was most afraid of at the moment was Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong. When he heard Linghu Chong's voice, he couldn't help but be out of his wits. He immediately grabbed Lin Pingzhi's left arm and jumped onto a horse that Qingcheng's disciples rode. , Clamping his legs, galloping the horse.
Linghu Chong was concerned about Yue Lingshan's safety, so he didn't have time to chase the enemy. He saw Yue Lingshan lying on the driver's seat of the cart, with a long sword stuck in her chest, and probing her breath, she was already dying. Linghu Chong yelled: "Junior Sister, Junior Sister!" Yue Lingshan said: "Is... is it Senior?" "Can't pull it out." Linghu Chong saw that the sword had penetrated half a foot, and it was already a fatal wound. When he pulled it out, she immediately died of breathlessness. Yue Lingshan said: "Master brother, it's good that you stay by my side. Brother Ping... Brother Ping, has he gone?" Linghu Chong gritted his teeth and cried, "Don't worry, I will kill him to avenge you." Yue Lingshan said: "No, no! He can't see. If you want to kill him, he can't resist. I...I'm going to my mother." Linghu Chong said: "Okay, I'll take you to see Master." Yingying listened to her The sound became weaker and weaker, and his life was in an instant, so he couldn't help but also shed tears. Yue Lingshan said: "Master brother, you have always treated me very well, I...I am sorry for you. I...I am going to die." Linghu Chong said with tears: "You will not die, we can find a way to cure you. You." Yue Lingshan said: "I...I'm in pain...it hurts very much. Senior Brother, I beg you for one thing, you...you must promise me." Linghu Chong held her left hand and said: "You Say, you say, I will definitely agree." Yue Lingshan sighed, and said: "You...you...refused to agree...and...you are too wronged..." The voice became lower and lower, breathing Also weaker. Linghu Chong said: "I will definitely agree, you have agreed." Yue Lingshan said: "What did you say?" Linghu Chong said: "I will definitely agree. Whatever you want me to do, I will definitely do it for you." Yue Lingshan said: "Master brother, my husband...brother Ping...he... is blind... very pitiful...do you know?" Linghu Chong said: "Yes, I know." Yue Lingshan said: "He is here In this world, everyone is lonely and alone, everyone bullies... bullies him. Senior brother... after I die, please take care of him as much as you can, don't... don't let people bully him..." Linghu Chong was stunned, he never expected that Lin Pingzhi would kill his wife, Yue Lingshan's life was dying, yet she still couldn't forget her love for him.At this moment, Linghu Chong wished he could arrest Lin Pingzhi, cut him into pieces, and if he wanted to spare his life in the future, it would be extremely difficult, how could he be willing to take care of this evil thief? Yue Lingshan said slowly: "Master Brother, Brother Ping... Didn't Brother Ping really want to kill me... He was afraid of my father... He wanted to seek refuge with Zuo Lengchan, so he had... had to stab me..." Linghu Chong said angrily: "This selfish and ungrateful villain, you...you still miss him?" Yue Lingshan said: "He...he didn't intend to kill me, it's just...it was just a momentary miss. Brother...I beg you, please take care of him..." The moonlight slanted and reflected on her face , I saw that her eyes were scattered and lifeless, her eyes were not as clear and bright as usual, a few drops of blood were splashed on her snow-white cheeks, and her face was full of pleading expressions. Linghu Chong remembered that in the past ten years or so, he and his junior sister had traveled hand in hand in Huashan, and sometimes she had to do something by herself, and she had such a pleading look on her face, no matter how difficult these things were, or how contrary to her wishes , but never rejected her once.Her pleading at this moment was full of sadness, she knew that she was going to die in an instant, and she would never have the chance to ask Linghu Chong for anything again, this was the last plea, and also the most urgent one. All of a sudden, Linghu Chong's blood surged in his chest. He knew that as long as he agreed, he would not only suffer endless hardships in the future, but also force himself to do many things he never wanted to do, but seeing Yue Lingshan's pleading expression and tone, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, I agree, you can rest assured." Yingying was listening, and couldn't help interjecting: "You...how can you agree?" Yue Lingshan held Linghu Chong's hand tightly, and said: "Master brother, thank you so much... I can rest assured... I can rest assured." Her eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, showing a satisfied look. Seeing her expression like this, Linghu Chong thought to himself: "To see her so happy, no matter how great the hardships are, it is worth enduring for her." Suddenly, Yue Lingshan began to sing softly.Linghu Chong felt as if his chest had been hit hard. What she was singing was a Fujian folk song. He heard the tune "Sisters, go up to the mountain to pick tea" out of her mouth. It was a Fujian folk song taught to her by Lin Pingzhi.That day on the Cliff of Contemplation, my heart ached like twists, just because I heard her sing this folk song.She began to sing again at this time, thinking of the sweet time when she and Lin Pingzhi were in Huashan that day. Her singing became lower and lower, she gradually let go of Linghu Chong's hand, and finally opened her palm, and slowly closed her eyes, her singing stopped, and she also stopped breathing. Linghu Chong's heart sank, as if the whole world had died suddenly, he wanted to cry loudly, but couldn't.He stretched out his hands, picked up Yue Lingshan's body, and called softly: "Junior Sister, Junior Sister, don't be afraid! I'll take you to your mother, no one will bully you anymore." Yingying saw that his back was bright red, it was obvious that the wound was ruptured, the blood kept oozing out, and the blood stain on his clothes was getting bigger and bigger, but in this situation, she didn't know how to persuade him.Linghu Chong hugged Yue Lingshan's body, took more than ten steps in a dazed manner, and said in his mouth: "Junior Junior Sister, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I will carry you to see Master Mistress." Suddenly his knees softened and he fell to the ground If you fall down, you don't know anything about it.
In a daze, I heard a few crisp sounds of ding-dong and ding-dong in my ears, followed by the sound of the piano, the tune was familiar, and it was indescribably beneficial to listen to.He only felt that he had no strength in his whole body, and he didn't even want to open his eyelids. He only hoped to listen to the continuous sound of the piano forever.Sure enough, the sound of the zither continued without stopping. After listening to it for a while, Linghu Chong fell asleep again in a daze. When I woke up for the second time, I could still hear the quiet sound of the piano in my ears, and I could smell the fragrance of flowers in my nose.He slowly opened his eyes, and there were flowers in his eyes, red flowers, white flowers, yellow flowers, purple flowers, all piled up in front of his eyes, thinking: "Where is this place?" He turned his head sideways and saw Yingying's back, she was sitting on the ground, playing the piano by herself.He gradually saw clearly where he was, as if he was in a cave, the sunlight came in from the entrance of the cave, and he was lying on a pile of soft grass. Linghu Chong wanted to sit up, but the grass under him rustled.The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Yingying turned her head, her face was full of joy.She walked slowly to Linghu Chong and sat down, staring at him with love and compassion on her face. In an instant, Linghu Chong's heart was filled with a sense of happiness, knowing that he had passed out because of Yue Lingshan's tragic death, and Yingying rescued herself into the cave, he suddenly felt sad again, but gradually, from Yingying's eyes, he felt the incomparable Warm.The two were in touch with each other, and were silent for a long time. Linghu Chong stretched out his left hand and gently stroked the back of Yingying's hand. Suddenly, from the fragrance of flowers, there was some aroma of barbecue.Yingying picked up a branch with a bunch of roasted frogs on it, smiled and said: "It's burnt again!" Linghu Chong laughed.Both of them thought of the scene of catching frogs and grilling by the stream that day. There have been countless changes in the two times of eating frogs, but in the end the two still got together. Linghu Chong laughed a few times, felt sour in his heart, and burst into tears again.Yingying helped him to sit up, pointed to a new grave outside the cave, and said in a low voice: "Miss Yue will be buried there." Linghu Chong said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you very much." Yingying shook her head slowly and said "You don't need to thank me. Everyone has their own destiny, and each has their own karma." Linghu Chong felt apologetic in his heart, and said, "Yingying, I will never forget my love for my junior sister. I hope you don't take offense." Yingying said: "Of course I won't blame you. If you were really a frivolous man with a small heart, I wouldn't value you so much." He whispered: "I started... I started to fall in love with you because I was in Luoyang Lu In the bamboo alley, through the bamboo curtain, tell me how you love your little junior sister. Miss Yue is a good girl, she...she just has no destiny for you. If you didn't grow up with her, most likely she When I see you, I will love you." Linghu Chong pondered for a while, then shook his head, and said: "No way. Junior sister admires my master, and the man she likes should be as dignified and taciturn as her father. I'm just her playmate, and she never... never respects me. " Yingying said: "Perhaps you are right. It happens that Lin Pingzhi is just like your master. Whether you really want to kill her, or love him wholeheartedly, that... that's also very good. She didn't die of sadness. I want to go and see her grave. " Yingying supported his arm and walked out of the cave.Linghu Chong saw that although the tomb was made of chaotic stones, the large and small stones were arranged in an orderly manner, and flowers were planted in front of and behind the tomb, which shows that Yingying put in a lot of effort, and he was secretly grateful.In front of the grave stood a tree trunk with its branches and leaves cut off, and a few words were carved on the bark with the tip of a sword: "The tomb of Yue Lingshan, a heroine of Huashan". Linghu Chong burst into tears again, and said: "Perhaps little junior sister likes to be called Mrs. Lin." Yingying said: "Lin Pingzhi is so ruthless, Miss Yue has a spirit in the spring, she understands his vicious heart, no I would like to be Mrs. Lin." He said in his heart, "You don't know that her husband and wife with Lin Pingzhi are in name only, they are not a couple." Linghu Chong said: "That's true." Surrounded by mountains, the place is in a valley, with green forests, mountain flowers everywhere, and birds singing on the branches, it is a very quiet place.Yingying said: "Let's stay here for a while, while recuperating and accompanying the grave." Linghu Chong said: "Excellent. Little junior sister is alone in this wilderness, even if she is a ghost, she is very cowardly." Yingying was very obsessed with hearing his words, and couldn't help but secretly sighed. The two lived in this green valley, roasting frogs and picking fruits, and they were peaceful and at ease.What Linghu Chong suffered was only external injuries, he had the Hengshan School's elixir for healing injuries, and also had profound internal energy, after more than 20 days of nursing, most of his injuries have healed up.Yingying taught him how to play the piano every day, Linghu Chong was very smart, he practiced with great concentration, and he entered the country very quickly. When he got up early this morning, he saw a few grass sprouts sprouting from Yue Lingshan's grave. Linghu Chong stared blankly at these sprouts and thought, "Grass has also grown on the grave of my junior sister. She is in the grave, but I don't know how?" Suddenly he heard a few quiet flute sounds from behind, he turned his head and saw Yingying sitting on a rock, holding a flute in her hand and playing to herself, what she was playing was "Pure Heart and Universal Kindness Mantra".He walked over and saw that the flute was a new bamboo, so Yingying cut off the bamboo branches with a sword, pierced the holes and tuned it, and made it into a hole flute.He moved the Yaoqin, sat down cross-legged, and played along with her tune.Gradually concentrating on the song, there are no distracting thoughts, and after one song, I just feel refreshed.The two smiled at each other. Yingying said: "You have already mastered the song "The Mantra of Pure Heart and Universal Goodness", starting from today, how about we practice the song "Swordsman"?" Linghu Chong said: "This song is so difficult to play, I don't know when it will start I can keep up with you." Yingying smiled and said: "The music of this piece is profound, and there are many things I don't understand. But there is something special about this piece. It seems that if two people play together, they will inspire each other, compared to one person exploring and making progress alone. It's much faster. Probably the song is about Nie Zheng and his sister's brotherly love, and the two hearts blend together." Linghu Chong clapped his hands and said, "That's right, that day I listened to the song by Master Liu of the Hengshan School, and the Devil... and the Sun Moon Sect. The elders played this piece together, and the sound of the qin and flute resonated together, it was really very beautiful. According to Uncle Liu, this piece was originally composed for the ensemble of qin and flute." Yingying said: "You play the qin, I play the flute, Let's practice slowly one by one." Linghu Chong smiled and said: "It's a pity that this is a flute, not a harp. If the harp is harmonious, that's fine." Yingying blushed and said, "I haven't heard from you these days. Gossip, I thought it was a change of sex, but it turned out to be normal." Linghu Chong made a grimace, knowing that Yingying's temperament is the most shy, although the barren mountains and empty valleys, the lonely man and the widow face each other, but he never allows himself to behave a little bit more politely, and then tell a joke ，只怕她要大半天不理自己，当下凑过去看她展开琴箫之谱，静心听她解释，学着奏了起来。 抚琴之道原非易事，《笑傲江湖曲》曲旨深奥，变化繁复，且琴韵为此曲主调，但令狐冲秉性聪明，既得名师指点，而当日在洛阳绿竹巷中就已起始学奏，兼之曾听过曲刘两大名家奏过，此后每逢闲日便即练习，时日既久，自有进境。此刻合奏，初时难以合拍，慢慢地终于也跟上去了，虽不能如曲刘二人之曲尽其妙，却也略有其意境韵味。此后十余日中，两人耳鬓厮磨，合奏琴箫，这青松环绕的翠谷，便是世间的洞天福地，将江湖上的刀光血影，渐渐都淡忘了。两人都觉得若能在这翠谷中偕老以终，再也不卷入武林的斗殴仇杀之中，那可比什么都快活了。
这日午后，令狐冲和盈盈合奏了大半个时辰，忽觉内息不顺，无法宁静，接连奏错了几处，心中着急，指法更加乱了。盈盈道：“你累吗？休息一会再说。”令狐冲道：“累倒不累，不知怎的，觉得有些烦躁。我去摘些桃子来，晚上再练琴。”盈盈道：“好，可别走远了。” 令狐冲知山谷东南有不少野桃树，其时桃实已熟，当下分草拂树，行出八九里，来到野桃树下，纵身摘了两枚桃子，二次纵起时又摘了三枚。眼见桃子已然熟透，树下已掉了不少，数日间便会尽数自落，在地下烂掉，便一口气摘了数十枚，心想：“我和盈盈吃了桃子后，将桃核种在山谷四周，数年后桃树成长，翠谷中桃花灿烂，那可多美？” 忽然间想起了桃谷六仙：“这山谷四周种满桃树，岂不成为桃谷？我和盈盈岂不变成了桃谷二仙？日后我和她生下六个儿子，那不是小桃谷六仙？那小桃谷六仙倘若便如那老桃谷六仙一般，说话缠夹不清，岂不糟糕？” 想到这里，正欲纵声大笑，忽听得远处树丛中簌的一声响。令狐冲立即伏低，藏身长草之中，心想：“老是吃烤蛙野果，嘴也腻了，听这声音多半是只野兽，若能捉到一只羚羊野鹿，也好叫盈盈惊喜一番。”思念未定，便听得脚步声响，竟是两个人行走之声。令狐冲吃了一惊：“这荒谷中如何有人？定是冲着盈盈和我来了。” 便在此时，听得一个苍老的声音说道：“你没弄错吗？岳不群那厮确会向这边来？”令狐冲惊讶更甚：“他们是追我师父来了，那是什么人？”另一个声音低沉之人道：“史香主四周都查察过了。岳不群的女儿女婿都受了伤，突然在这一带失踪，各处市镇码头、水陆两道，都不见这对小夫妇的踪迹，定是躲在这一带山谷中养伤。岳不群早晚便会寻来。” 令狐冲心中一酸，寻思：“原来他们已知小师妹受伤，却不知她已经死了，自是有不少人在寻觅她的下落，尤其是师父师娘。若不是这山谷偏僻，早就该寻到这里了。” 只听那声音苍老之人道：“若你所料不错，岳不群早晚会到此处，咱便在山谷入口处设伏。”那声音低沉之人道：“就算岳不群不来，咱们布置好了之后，也可设法引他过来。”那老者拍了两下手掌，道：“此计大妙，薛兄弟，瞧你不出，倒还是智多星呢。”那姓薛的笑道：“葛长老说得好。属下蒙你老人家提拔，你老人家有什么差遣，自当尽心竭力，报答你老的恩典。” 令狐冲心下恍然：“原来是日月教的，是盈盈的手下。最好他们走得远远的，别来骚扰我和盈盈。”又想：“此刻师父武功大进，他们人数再多，也决不是师父的敌手。师父精明机警，武林中无人能及，凭他们这点儿能耐，想要诱我师父上当，真是鲁班门前弄大斧了。” 忽听得远处有人啪啪啪地击了三下手掌，那姓薛的道：“杜长老他们也到了。”葛长老也啪啪啪地击了三下。脚步声响，四人快步奔来，其中二人脚步沉滞，奔到近处，令狐冲听了出来，这二人抬着一件什么物事。 葛长老喜道：“杜老弟，抓到岳家小妞儿了？功劳不小哪。”一个声音洪亮之人笑道：“岳家倒是岳家的，是大妞儿，可不是小妞儿。”葛长老“咦”了一声，显是惊喜交集，道：“怎……怎……拿到了岳不群的老婆？” 令狐冲这一惊非同小可，立即便欲扑出救人，但随即记起身上没带剑。他手无长剑，武功便不敌寻常高手，心下暗暗着急，只听那杜长老道：“可不是吗？”葛长老道：“岳夫人剑法了得，杜兄弟怎地将她拿到？啊，定是使了迷药。”杜长老笑道：“这婆娘失魂落魄，来到客店之中，想也不想，倒了一碗茶便喝。人家说岳不群的老婆宁中则如何了不起，却原来是草包一个。” 令狐冲心下恼怒，暗道：“我师娘听说爱女受伤失踪，数十天遍寻不获，自然心神不定，这是爱女心切，哪里是草包一个？你们辱我师娘，待会叫你们一个个都死于我剑下。”寻思：“怎能夺到一柄长剑就好了。没剑，刀也行。” 只听那葛长老道：“咱们既将岳不群的老婆拿到手，事情就十分好办了。杜兄弟，眼下之计，是如何将岳不群引来。”杜长老道：“引来之后，却又如何？”葛长老微一踌躇，道：“咱们以这婆娘作为人质，逼他弃剑投降。料那岳不群夫妻情深义重，决计不敢反抗。”杜长老道：“葛兄之言有理，就只怕这岳不群心肠狠毒，夫妻间情不深，义不重，那就有点儿棘手。”葛长老道：“这个……这个……嗯，薛兄弟，你看如何？”那姓薛的道：“在两位长老之前，原挨不上属下说话……” 正说到这里，西首又有一人接连击掌三下。杜长老道：“包长老到了。” 片刻之间，两人自西如飞奔来，脚步极快。葛长老道：“莫长老也到了。”令狐冲暗暗叫苦：“从脚步声听来，这二人似乎比这葛杜二人武功更高。我赤手空拳，如何才救得师娘？”只听葛杜二长老齐声说道：“包莫二兄也到了，当真再好不过。”葛长老又道：“杜兄弟立了大功，拿到了岳不群的婆娘。” 一个老者喜道：“妙极，妙极！两位辛苦了。”葛长老道：“那是杜兄弟的功劳。”那老者道：“大家奉教主之命出来办事，不论是谁的功劳，都是托教主的洪福。”令狐冲听这老者的声音有些耳熟，心想：“莫非是当日在黑木崖上曾经见过的？”他运起内功，听得到各人说话，却不敢探头查看。魔教中的长老都是武功高手，自己稍一动弹，只怕便给他们查觉了。 葛长老道：“包莫二兄，我正和杜兄弟在商议，怎生才诱得岳不群到来，擒他到黑木崖去。”另一名长老道：“你们想到了什么计较？” 葛长老道：“我们一时还没想到什么良策，包莫二兄到来，定有妙计。”先一名老者说道：“五岳剑派在嵩山封禅台争夺掌门之位，岳不群刺瞎左冷禅双目，威震嵩山，五岳剑派之中，再也没人敢上台挑战。听说这人已得林家辟邪剑法的真传，非同小可，咱们须得想个万全之策，可不能小觑了他。”杜长老道：“正是。咱们四人合力齐上，虽然未必便输于他，却也没必胜把握。”莫长老道：“包兄，你胸中想已算定，便请说出来如何？” 那姓包的长老道：“我虽已想到一条计策，但平平无奇，只怕三位见笑了。”莫葛杜三长老齐道：“包兄是本教智囊，想的计策，定是好的。”包长老道：“这其实是个笨法子。咱们掘个极深的陷坑，上面铺上树枝青草，不露痕迹，然后点了这婆娘的穴道，将她放在坑边，再引岳不群到来。他见妻子倒地，自必上前相救，咕咚……扑通……啊哟，不好……”他一面说，一面打手势。三名长老和其余四人都哈哈大笑。 莫长老笑道：“包兄此计大妙。咱们自然都埋伏在旁，只等岳不群跌下陷坑，四件兵刃立即封住坑口，不让他上跃。否则这人武功高强，怕他没跌入坑底，便跃了上来。”包长老沉吟道：“但这中间尚有难处。”莫长老道：“什么难处？啊，是了，包兄怕岳不群剑法诡异，跌入陷阱之后，咱们仍封他不住？”包长老道：“莫兄料得甚是。这次教主派咱们办事，所要对付的，是个合并了五岳剑派的大高手。咱们若得为教主殉身，本来十分荣耀，只不过却损了神教与教主的威名。常言道得好：量小非君子，无毒不丈夫。既是对付伪君子，便当下些狠毒手段。看来咱们还须在陷阱之中，加上些物事。”杜长老道：“包长老之言，大合我心。这'百花消魂散'，兄弟身边带得不少，大可尽数撒在陷阱上的树枝草叶之中。那岳不群一入陷阱，立时会深深吸一口气……”四人说到这里，又都齐声哄笑。 包长老道：“事不宜迟，便须动手。这陷阱却设在何处最好？”葛长老道：“自此向西三里，一边是参天峭壁，另一边下临深渊，唯有一条小道可行，岳不群不来则已，否则定要经过这条小道。”包长老道：“甚好，大家过去瞧瞧。”说着拔足便行，余人随后跟去。 令狐冲心道：“他们挖掘陷阱，非一时三刻之间所能办妥，我得赶快去通知盈盈，取了长剑，再来救师娘不迟。”待魔教众人走远，悄悄循原路回去。 行出数里，忽听得嗒嗒嗒的掘地之声，心想：“怎么他们是在此处掘地？”藏身树后，探头一张，果见四名魔教的教众在弓身掘地，几个老者站在一旁。此刻相距近了，见到一个老者的侧面，心下一凛：“原来这人便是当年在杭州孤山梅庄中见过的鲍大楚。什么包长老，却是鲍长老。那日任我行在西湖脱困，第一个收服的魔教长老，便是这鲍大楚。”令狐冲曾见他出手制服黄钟公，知他武功甚高；心想师父出任五岳派掌门，摆明要跟魔教为难，魔教自不能坐视，任我行派出来对付他的，只怕尚不止这一路四个长老。只见四名教众用一对铁戟、一对钢斧，先斫松了土，再用手扒土，抄了出来，心想：“他们明明说要到那边峭壁去挖掘陷阱，却怎么改在此处？”微一凝思，已明其理：“峭壁旁都是岩石，要挖陷阱，谈何容易？”但这么一来，阻住了去路，使他没法回去取剑。眼见四人以临敌交锋用的兵刃来挖土掘地，甚是不便，陷阱非片刻间能掘成，他却又不敢离师娘太远，绕道回去取剑。 忽听葛长老笑道：“岳不群年纪已经不小，他老婆居然还这么年轻貌美。”杜长老笑道：“相貌自然不错，年轻却不见得了。我瞧早四十出头了。葛兄若是有兴，待拿住了岳不群，禀明教主，便要了这婆娘如何？”葛长老笑道：“要了这婆娘，那可不敢，拿来玩玩，倒是不妨。” 令狐冲大怒，心道：“无耻狗贼，胆敢辱我师娘，待会一个个叫你们不得好死。”听葛长老笑得甚是猥亵，忍不住探头张望，只见这葛长老伸出手来，在岳夫人脸颊上拧了一把。岳夫人要穴遭点，没法反抗，一声也不能出。魔教众人都哈哈大笑起来。杜长老笑道：“葛兄这般猴急，你有没胆子就在这里玩了这个婆娘？”令狐冲怒不可遏，这姓葛的倘真对师娘无礼，尽管自己手中无剑，也要跟这些魔教奸人拚个死活。 只听葛长老淫笑道：“玩这婆娘，有什么不敢？但若坏了教主大事，老葛便有一百个脑袋，也不够砍。”鲍大楚冷冷地道：“如此最好。葛兄弟、杜兄弟，你两位轻功好，便去引那岳不群到来，预计再过一个时辰，这里一切便可布置就绪。”葛杜二老齐声道：“是！”纵身向北而去。 二人去后，空谷之中便听得挖地之声，偶尔莫长老指挥几句。令狐冲躲在草丛之中，大气也不敢透，心想：“我这么久没回，盈盈定然挂念，必会出来寻我。她听到掘地声，过来察看，自会救我师娘。这些魔教中的长老见到任大小姐到来，怎敢违抗？冲着任教主、向大哥和盈盈的面子，我能不与魔教人众动手，自再好不过。”想到此处，反觉等得越久越好，那好色的葛长老既已离去，师娘已无受辱之虞。 耳听得众人终于掘好陷阱，放入柴草，撒了迷魂毒药，再在陷阱上盖以乱草，鲍大楚等六人分别躲入旁边的草丛，静候岳不群到来。令狐冲轻轻拾起一块大石头，拿在手里，心道：“等得师父过来，倘若走近陷阱，我便将石头投上陷阱口上柴草。石头落入陷阱，师父一见，自然警觉。” 其时已是初夏，幽谷中蝉声此起彼和，偶有小鸟飞鸣而过，此外更无别般声音。令狐冲将呼吸压得极缓极轻，倾听岳不群和葛杜二长老的脚步声。
过了半个多时辰，忽听得远处一个女子声音“啊”的一声叫，正是盈盈，令狐冲心道：“盈盈已发现外人到来。不知她见到了我师父，还是葛杜二长老？”跟着听得脚步声响，两人一前一后，疾奔而来，听得盈盈不住叫唤：“冲哥，冲哥，你师父要杀你，千万不可出来。”令狐冲大吃一惊：“师父为什么要杀我？” 只听盈盈又叫：“冲哥快走，你师父要杀你。”她全力呼唤，显是要令狐冲闻声远走。叫唤声中，只见她头发散乱，手提长剑，快步奔来，岳不群空着双手，在后追赶。 眼见盈盈再奔得十余步，便会踏入陷阱，令狐冲和鲍大楚等均十分焦急，一时不知如何是好。突然间岳不群电闪而出，左手拿住了盈盈后心，右手随即抓住她双手手腕，将她双臂反在背后。盈盈登时动弹不得，手一松，长剑落地。岳不群这一下出手快极，令狐冲和鲍大楚固不及救援，盈盈本来武功也是甚高，竟无闪避抗拒之能，一招间便给他擒住。 令狐冲大惊，险些叫出声来。盈盈仍在叫唤：“冲哥快走，你师父要杀你！”令狐冲热泪涌入眼眶，心想：“她只顾念我的危险，全不念及自己。” 岳不群左手一松，随即伸指在盈盈背上点了几下，封了她穴道，放开右手，让她委顿在地。便在此时，他一眼见到岳夫人躺在地下，全不动弹，岳不群吃了一惊，但立时料到左近定然隐伏重大危险，并不立即走到妻子身边，只不动声色地四下察看，一时不见异状，便淡淡地道：“任大小姐，令狐冲这恶贼杀我爱女，你也有一份吗？” 令狐冲又大吃一惊：“师父说我杀了小师妹，这话从哪里说起？” 盈盈道：“你女儿是林平之杀的，跟令狐冲有什么相干？你口口声声说令狐冲杀了你女儿，当真冤枉好人。”岳不群哈哈一笑，道：“林平之是我女婿，难道你不知道？他们新婚燕尔，何等恩爱，岂有杀妻之理？”盈盈道：“林平之投靠嵩山派，为了取信于左冷禅，表明与你势不两立，因此将你女儿杀了。” 岳不群又哈哈一笑，说道：“胡说八道。嵩山派？这世上还有什么嵩山派？嵩山一派早已并入了五岳派。武林之中，嵩山派已然除名，林平之又怎能去投靠嵩山派？再说，左冷禅是我属下，林平之又不是不知。他不追随身为五岳派掌门的岳父，却去投靠一个瞎了双眼、自身难保的左冷禅，天下再蠢的傻子，也不会干这等笨事。” 盈盈道：“你不信，那也由得你。你找到了林平之，自己问他好了。” 岳不群语音突转严峻，说道：“眼前我要找的不是林平之，而是令狐冲。江湖上人人都道，令狐冲对我女儿非礼，我女儿力拒淫贼，遭杀身亡。你编了一大篇谎话出来，为令狐冲隐瞒，显是与他狼狈为奸。”盈盈哼了一声，嘿嘿几下冷笑。岳不群道：“任大小姐，令尊是日月教教主，我对你本来不会为难，但为了逼迫令狐冲出来，说不得，只好在你身上加一点儿小小刑罚。我要先斩去你左手手掌，然后斩去你右手手掌，下一步是斩去你的左脚，再斩去你的右脚。令狐冲这恶贼若还有半点良心，便该现身。”盈盈大声道：“料你也不敢，你动了我身上一根头发，我爹爹将你五岳派杀得鸡犬不留。” 岳不群笑道：“我不敢吗？”说着从腰间剑鞘中慢慢抽出长剑。 令狐冲再也忍耐不住，从草丛中冲了出来，叫道：“师父，令狐冲在这里！” 盈盈“啊”的一声，忙道：“快走，快走！他不敢伤我的。” 令狐冲摇了摇头，走近几步，说道：“师父……”岳不群厉声道：“小贼，你还有脸叫我'师父'？”令狐冲目中含泪，双膝跪地，颤声道：“皇天在上，令狐冲对岳姑娘向来敬重，决不敢对她有分毫无礼。令狐冲受你夫妇养育的大恩，你要杀我，动手好了！” 盈盈大急，叫道：“冲哥，这人半男半女，早已失了人性，你还不快走！” 岳不群脸上蓦地现出一股凌厉杀气，转向盈盈，厉声道：“你这话是什么意思？” 盈盈道：“你为了练辟邪剑法，自……自……自己搅得半死半活，早已如鬼怪一般。冲哥，你记得东方不败么？他们都是疯子，你别当他们是常人。”她只盼令狐冲赶快逃走，明知这么说，岳不群定然放不过自己，却也顾不得了。 岳不群冷冷地道：“你这些怪话，是从哪里听来的？” 盈盈道：“是林平之亲口说的。你偷了林平之的《辟邪剑谱》，你当他不知么？你将那件袈裟投入峡谷，那时候林平之躲在你窗外，伸手捡了去，因此他……他也练成了辟邪剑法，若非如此，他怎能杀得了木高峰和余沧海？他自己怎样练成辟邪剑法，自然知道你是怎样练成的。冲哥，你听这岳不群说话的声音，就像女子一般。他……他和东方不败一样，早已失却常性了。”她曾听到林平之和岳灵珊在大车中的说话，令狐冲却没听到。她知令狐冲始终敬爱师父，不愿更增他心中难过，这番话又十分不便出口，是以数月来一直不提。但此刻事机紧迫，只好抖露出来，要令狐冲知道，眼前的人并不是什么武林中的宗师掌门，不过是个失却常性的怪人，与疯子岂可讲什么恩义交情？ 岳不群目光中杀气大盛，恶狠狠地道：“任大小姐，我本想留你一条性命，但你说话如此胡闹，却容你不得了。这是你自取其死，可别怪我。” 盈盈叫道：“冲哥，快走，快走！” 令狐冲知师父出手快极，长剑一颤之下，盈盈便没了性命，眼见岳不群长剑提起，作势便欲刺出，大叫：“你要杀人，便来杀我，休得伤她。” 岳不群转过头来，冷笑道：“你学得一点三脚猫的剑法，便以为能横行江湖么？拾起剑来，叫你死得心服。”令狐冲道：“万万不敢……不敢与师……与你动手。”岳不群大声道：“到得今日，你还装腔作势干什么？那日在黄河舟中、五霸冈上，你勾结一帮旁门左道，故意削我面子，其时我便已决意杀你，隐忍至今，已便宜了你。在福州你落入我手中，若不是碍着我夫人，早叫你这小贼见阎王去了。当日一念之差，反让我女儿命丧于你这淫贼之手。”令狐冲急得只叫：“我没有……我没有……
Linghu Chong was concerned about Yue Lingshan's safety, so he didn't have time to chase the enemy. He saw Yue Lingshan lying on the driver's seat of the cart, with a long sword stuck in her chest, and probing her breath, she was already dying. Linghu Chong yelled: "Junior Sister, Junior Sister!" Yue Lingshan said: "Is... is it Senior?" "Can't pull it out." Linghu Chong saw that the sword had penetrated half a foot, and it was already a fatal wound. When he pulled it out, she immediately died of breathlessness. Yue Lingshan said: "Master brother, it's good that you stay by my side. Brother Ping... Brother Ping, has he gone?" Linghu Chong gritted his teeth and cried, "Don't worry, I will kill him to avenge you." Yue Lingshan said: "No, no! He can't see. If you want to kill him, he can't resist. I...I'm going to my mother." Linghu Chong said: "Okay, I'll take you to see Master." Yingying listened to her The sound became weaker and weaker, and his life was in an instant, so he couldn't help but also shed tears. Yue Lingshan said: "Master brother, you have always treated me very well, I...I am sorry for you. I...I am going to die." Linghu Chong said with tears: "You will not die, we can find a way to cure you. You." Yue Lingshan said: "I...I'm in pain...it hurts very much. Senior Brother, I beg you for one thing, you...you must promise me." Linghu Chong held her left hand and said: "You Say, you say, I will definitely agree." Yue Lingshan sighed, and said: "You...you...refused to agree...and...you are too wronged..." The voice became lower and lower, breathing Also weaker. Linghu Chong said: "I will definitely agree, you have agreed." Yue Lingshan said: "What did you say?" Linghu Chong said: "I will definitely agree. Whatever you want me to do, I will definitely do it for you." Yue Lingshan said: "Master brother, my husband...brother Ping...he... is blind... very pitiful...do you know?" Linghu Chong said: "Yes, I know." Yue Lingshan said: "He is here In this world, everyone is lonely and alone, everyone bullies... bullies him. Senior brother... after I die, please take care of him as much as you can, don't... don't let people bully him..." Linghu Chong was stunned, he never expected that Lin Pingzhi would kill his wife, Yue Lingshan's life was dying, yet she still couldn't forget her love for him.At this moment, Linghu Chong wished he could arrest Lin Pingzhi, cut him into pieces, and if he wanted to spare his life in the future, it would be extremely difficult, how could he be willing to take care of this evil thief? Yue Lingshan said slowly: "Master Brother, Brother Ping... Didn't Brother Ping really want to kill me... He was afraid of my father... He wanted to seek refuge with Zuo Lengchan, so he had... had to stab me..." Linghu Chong said angrily: "This selfish and ungrateful villain, you...you still miss him?" Yue Lingshan said: "He...he didn't intend to kill me, it's just...it was just a momentary miss. Brother...I beg you, please take care of him..." The moonlight slanted and reflected on her face , I saw that her eyes were scattered and lifeless, her eyes were not as clear and bright as usual, a few drops of blood were splashed on her snow-white cheeks, and her face was full of pleading expressions. Linghu Chong remembered that in the past ten years or so, he and his junior sister had traveled hand in hand in Huashan, and sometimes she had to do something by herself, and she had such a pleading look on her face, no matter how difficult these things were, or how contrary to her wishes , but never rejected her once.Her pleading at this moment was full of sadness, she knew that she was going to die in an instant, and she would never have the chance to ask Linghu Chong for anything again, this was the last plea, and also the most urgent one. All of a sudden, Linghu Chong's blood surged in his chest. He knew that as long as he agreed, he would not only suffer endless hardships in the future, but also force himself to do many things he never wanted to do, but seeing Yue Lingshan's pleading expression and tone, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, I agree, you can rest assured." Yingying was listening, and couldn't help interjecting: "You...how can you agree?" Yue Lingshan held Linghu Chong's hand tightly, and said: "Master brother, thank you so much... I can rest assured... I can rest assured." Her eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, showing a satisfied look. Seeing her expression like this, Linghu Chong thought to himself: "To see her so happy, no matter how great the hardships are, it is worth enduring for her." Suddenly, Yue Lingshan began to sing softly.Linghu Chong felt as if his chest had been hit hard. What she was singing was a Fujian folk song. He heard the tune "Sisters, go up to the mountain to pick tea" out of her mouth. It was a Fujian folk song taught to her by Lin Pingzhi.That day on the Cliff of Contemplation, my heart ached like twists, just because I heard her sing this folk song.She began to sing again at this time, thinking of the sweet time when she and Lin Pingzhi were in Huashan that day. Her singing became lower and lower, she gradually let go of Linghu Chong's hand, and finally opened her palm, and slowly closed her eyes, her singing stopped, and she also stopped breathing. Linghu Chong's heart sank, as if the whole world had died suddenly, he wanted to cry loudly, but couldn't.He stretched out his hands, picked up Yue Lingshan's body, and called softly: "Junior Sister, Junior Sister, don't be afraid! I'll take you to your mother, no one will bully you anymore." Yingying saw that his back was bright red, it was obvious that the wound was ruptured, the blood kept oozing out, and the blood stain on his clothes was getting bigger and bigger, but in this situation, she didn't know how to persuade him.Linghu Chong hugged Yue Lingshan's body, took more than ten steps in a dazed manner, and said in his mouth: "Junior Junior Sister, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I will carry you to see Master Mistress." Suddenly his knees softened and he fell to the ground If you fall down, you don't know anything about it.
In a daze, I heard a few crisp sounds of ding-dong and ding-dong in my ears, followed by the sound of the piano, the tune was familiar, and it was indescribably beneficial to listen to.He only felt that he had no strength in his whole body, and he didn't even want to open his eyelids. He only hoped to listen to the continuous sound of the piano forever.Sure enough, the sound of the zither continued without stopping. After listening to it for a while, Linghu Chong fell asleep again in a daze. When I woke up for the second time, I could still hear the quiet sound of the piano in my ears, and I could smell the fragrance of flowers in my nose.He slowly opened his eyes, and there were flowers in his eyes, red flowers, white flowers, yellow flowers, purple flowers, all piled up in front of his eyes, thinking: "Where is this place?" He turned his head sideways and saw Yingying's back, she was sitting on the ground, playing the piano by herself.He gradually saw clearly where he was, as if he was in a cave, the sunlight came in from the entrance of the cave, and he was lying on a pile of soft grass. Linghu Chong wanted to sit up, but the grass under him rustled.The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Yingying turned her head, her face was full of joy.She walked slowly to Linghu Chong and sat down, staring at him with love and compassion on her face. In an instant, Linghu Chong's heart was filled with a sense of happiness, knowing that he had passed out because of Yue Lingshan's tragic death, and Yingying rescued herself into the cave, he suddenly felt sad again, but gradually, from Yingying's eyes, he felt the incomparable Warm.The two were in touch with each other, and were silent for a long time. Linghu Chong stretched out his left hand and gently stroked the back of Yingying's hand. Suddenly, from the fragrance of flowers, there was some aroma of barbecue.Yingying picked up a branch with a bunch of roasted frogs on it, smiled and said: "It's burnt again!" Linghu Chong laughed.Both of them thought of the scene of catching frogs and grilling by the stream that day. There have been countless changes in the two times of eating frogs, but in the end the two still got together. Linghu Chong laughed a few times, felt sour in his heart, and burst into tears again.Yingying helped him to sit up, pointed to a new grave outside the cave, and said in a low voice: "Miss Yue will be buried there." Linghu Chong said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you very much." Yingying shook her head slowly and said "You don't need to thank me. Everyone has their own destiny, and each has their own karma." Linghu Chong felt apologetic in his heart, and said, "Yingying, I will never forget my love for my junior sister. I hope you don't take offense." Yingying said: "Of course I won't blame you. If you were really a frivolous man with a small heart, I wouldn't value you so much." He whispered: "I started... I started to fall in love with you because I was in Luoyang Lu In the bamboo alley, through the bamboo curtain, tell me how you love your little junior sister. Miss Yue is a good girl, she...she just has no destiny for you. If you didn't grow up with her, most likely she When I see you, I will love you." Linghu Chong pondered for a while, then shook his head, and said: "No way. Junior sister admires my master, and the man she likes should be as dignified and taciturn as her father. I'm just her playmate, and she never... never respects me. " Yingying said: "Perhaps you are right. It happens that Lin Pingzhi is just like your master. Whether you really want to kill her, or love him wholeheartedly, that... that's also very good. She didn't die of sadness. I want to go and see her grave. " Yingying supported his arm and walked out of the cave.Linghu Chong saw that although the tomb was made of chaotic stones, the large and small stones were arranged in an orderly manner, and flowers were planted in front of and behind the tomb, which shows that Yingying put in a lot of effort, and he was secretly grateful.In front of the grave stood a tree trunk with its branches and leaves cut off, and a few words were carved on the bark with the tip of a sword: "The tomb of Yue Lingshan, a heroine of Huashan". Linghu Chong burst into tears again, and said: "Perhaps little junior sister likes to be called Mrs. Lin." Yingying said: "Lin Pingzhi is so ruthless, Miss Yue has a spirit in the spring, she understands his vicious heart, no I would like to be Mrs. Lin." He said in his heart, "You don't know that her husband and wife with Lin Pingzhi are in name only, they are not a couple." Linghu Chong said: "That's true." Surrounded by mountains, the place is in a valley, with green forests, mountain flowers everywhere, and birds singing on the branches, it is a very quiet place.Yingying said: "Let's stay here for a while, while recuperating and accompanying the grave." Linghu Chong said: "Excellent. Little junior sister is alone in this wilderness, even if she is a ghost, she is very cowardly." Yingying was very obsessed with hearing his words, and couldn't help but secretly sighed. The two lived in this green valley, roasting frogs and picking fruits, and they were peaceful and at ease.What Linghu Chong suffered was only external injuries, he had the Hengshan School's elixir for healing injuries, and also had profound internal energy, after more than 20 days of nursing, most of his injuries have healed up.Yingying taught him how to play the piano every day, Linghu Chong was very smart, he practiced with great concentration, and he entered the country very quickly. When he got up early this morning, he saw a few grass sprouts sprouting from Yue Lingshan's grave. Linghu Chong stared blankly at these sprouts and thought, "Grass has also grown on the grave of my junior sister. She is in the grave, but I don't know how?" Suddenly he heard a few quiet flute sounds from behind, he turned his head and saw Yingying sitting on a rock, holding a flute in her hand and playing to herself, what she was playing was "Pure Heart and Universal Kindness Mantra".He walked over and saw that the flute was a new bamboo, so Yingying cut off the bamboo branches with a sword, pierced the holes and tuned it, and made it into a hole flute.He moved the Yaoqin, sat down cross-legged, and played along with her tune.Gradually concentrating on the song, there are no distracting thoughts, and after one song, I just feel refreshed.The two smiled at each other. Yingying said: "You have already mastered the song "The Mantra of Pure Heart and Universal Goodness", starting from today, how about we practice the song "Swordsman"?" Linghu Chong said: "This song is so difficult to play, I don't know when it will start I can keep up with you." Yingying smiled and said: "The music of this piece is profound, and there are many things I don't understand. But there is something special about this piece. It seems that if two people play together, they will inspire each other, compared to one person exploring and making progress alone. It's much faster. Probably the song is about Nie Zheng and his sister's brotherly love, and the two hearts blend together." Linghu Chong clapped his hands and said, "That's right, that day I listened to the song by Master Liu of the Hengshan School, and the Devil... and the Sun Moon Sect. The elders played this piece together, and the sound of the qin and flute resonated together, it was really very beautiful. According to Uncle Liu, this piece was originally composed for the ensemble of qin and flute." Yingying said: "You play the qin, I play the flute, Let's practice slowly one by one." Linghu Chong smiled and said: "It's a pity that this is a flute, not a harp. If the harp is harmonious, that's fine." Yingying blushed and said, "I haven't heard from you these days. Gossip, I thought it was a change of sex, but it turned out to be normal." Linghu Chong made a grimace, knowing that Yingying's temperament is the most shy, although the barren mountains and empty valleys, the lonely man and the widow face each other, but he never allows himself to behave a little bit more politely, and then tell a joke ，只怕她要大半天不理自己，当下凑过去看她展开琴箫之谱，静心听她解释，学着奏了起来。 抚琴之道原非易事，《笑傲江湖曲》曲旨深奥，变化繁复，且琴韵为此曲主调，但令狐冲秉性聪明，既得名师指点，而当日在洛阳绿竹巷中就已起始学奏，兼之曾听过曲刘两大名家奏过，此后每逢闲日便即练习，时日既久，自有进境。此刻合奏，初时难以合拍，慢慢地终于也跟上去了，虽不能如曲刘二人之曲尽其妙，却也略有其意境韵味。此后十余日中，两人耳鬓厮磨，合奏琴箫，这青松环绕的翠谷，便是世间的洞天福地，将江湖上的刀光血影，渐渐都淡忘了。两人都觉得若能在这翠谷中偕老以终，再也不卷入武林的斗殴仇杀之中，那可比什么都快活了。
这日午后，令狐冲和盈盈合奏了大半个时辰，忽觉内息不顺，无法宁静，接连奏错了几处，心中着急，指法更加乱了。盈盈道：“你累吗？休息一会再说。”令狐冲道：“累倒不累，不知怎的，觉得有些烦躁。我去摘些桃子来，晚上再练琴。”盈盈道：“好，可别走远了。” 令狐冲知山谷东南有不少野桃树，其时桃实已熟，当下分草拂树，行出八九里，来到野桃树下，纵身摘了两枚桃子，二次纵起时又摘了三枚。眼见桃子已然熟透，树下已掉了不少，数日间便会尽数自落，在地下烂掉，便一口气摘了数十枚，心想：“我和盈盈吃了桃子后，将桃核种在山谷四周，数年后桃树成长，翠谷中桃花灿烂，那可多美？” 忽然间想起了桃谷六仙：“这山谷四周种满桃树，岂不成为桃谷？我和盈盈岂不变成了桃谷二仙？日后我和她生下六个儿子，那不是小桃谷六仙？那小桃谷六仙倘若便如那老桃谷六仙一般，说话缠夹不清，岂不糟糕？” 想到这里，正欲纵声大笑，忽听得远处树丛中簌的一声响。令狐冲立即伏低，藏身长草之中，心想：“老是吃烤蛙野果，嘴也腻了，听这声音多半是只野兽，若能捉到一只羚羊野鹿，也好叫盈盈惊喜一番。”思念未定，便听得脚步声响，竟是两个人行走之声。令狐冲吃了一惊：“这荒谷中如何有人？定是冲着盈盈和我来了。” 便在此时，听得一个苍老的声音说道：“你没弄错吗？岳不群那厮确会向这边来？”令狐冲惊讶更甚：“他们是追我师父来了，那是什么人？”另一个声音低沉之人道：“史香主四周都查察过了。岳不群的女儿女婿都受了伤，突然在这一带失踪，各处市镇码头、水陆两道，都不见这对小夫妇的踪迹，定是躲在这一带山谷中养伤。岳不群早晚便会寻来。” 令狐冲心中一酸，寻思：“原来他们已知小师妹受伤，却不知她已经死了，自是有不少人在寻觅她的下落，尤其是师父师娘。若不是这山谷偏僻，早就该寻到这里了。” 只听那声音苍老之人道：“若你所料不错，岳不群早晚会到此处，咱便在山谷入口处设伏。”那声音低沉之人道：“就算岳不群不来，咱们布置好了之后，也可设法引他过来。”那老者拍了两下手掌，道：“此计大妙，薛兄弟，瞧你不出，倒还是智多星呢。”那姓薛的笑道：“葛长老说得好。属下蒙你老人家提拔，你老人家有什么差遣，自当尽心竭力，报答你老的恩典。” 令狐冲心下恍然：“原来是日月教的，是盈盈的手下。最好他们走得远远的，别来骚扰我和盈盈。”又想：“此刻师父武功大进，他们人数再多，也决不是师父的敌手。师父精明机警，武林中无人能及，凭他们这点儿能耐，想要诱我师父上当，真是鲁班门前弄大斧了。” 忽听得远处有人啪啪啪地击了三下手掌，那姓薛的道：“杜长老他们也到了。”葛长老也啪啪啪地击了三下。脚步声响，四人快步奔来，其中二人脚步沉滞，奔到近处，令狐冲听了出来，这二人抬着一件什么物事。 葛长老喜道：“杜老弟，抓到岳家小妞儿了？功劳不小哪。”一个声音洪亮之人笑道：“岳家倒是岳家的，是大妞儿，可不是小妞儿。”葛长老“咦”了一声，显是惊喜交集，道：“怎……怎……拿到了岳不群的老婆？” 令狐冲这一惊非同小可，立即便欲扑出救人，但随即记起身上没带剑。他手无长剑，武功便不敌寻常高手，心下暗暗着急，只听那杜长老道：“可不是吗？”葛长老道：“岳夫人剑法了得，杜兄弟怎地将她拿到？啊，定是使了迷药。”杜长老笑道：“这婆娘失魂落魄，来到客店之中，想也不想，倒了一碗茶便喝。人家说岳不群的老婆宁中则如何了不起，却原来是草包一个。” 令狐冲心下恼怒，暗道：“我师娘听说爱女受伤失踪，数十天遍寻不获，自然心神不定，这是爱女心切，哪里是草包一个？你们辱我师娘，待会叫你们一个个都死于我剑下。”寻思：“怎能夺到一柄长剑就好了。没剑，刀也行。” 只听那葛长老道：“咱们既将岳不群的老婆拿到手，事情就十分好办了。杜兄弟，眼下之计，是如何将岳不群引来。”杜长老道：“引来之后，却又如何？”葛长老微一踌躇，道：“咱们以这婆娘作为人质，逼他弃剑投降。料那岳不群夫妻情深义重，决计不敢反抗。”杜长老道：“葛兄之言有理，就只怕这岳不群心肠狠毒，夫妻间情不深，义不重，那就有点儿棘手。”葛长老道：“这个……这个……嗯，薛兄弟，你看如何？”那姓薛的道：“在两位长老之前，原挨不上属下说话……” 正说到这里，西首又有一人接连击掌三下。杜长老道：“包长老到了。” 片刻之间，两人自西如飞奔来，脚步极快。葛长老道：“莫长老也到了。”令狐冲暗暗叫苦：“从脚步声听来，这二人似乎比这葛杜二人武功更高。我赤手空拳，如何才救得师娘？”只听葛杜二长老齐声说道：“包莫二兄也到了，当真再好不过。”葛长老又道：“杜兄弟立了大功，拿到了岳不群的婆娘。” 一个老者喜道：“妙极，妙极！两位辛苦了。”葛长老道：“那是杜兄弟的功劳。”那老者道：“大家奉教主之命出来办事，不论是谁的功劳，都是托教主的洪福。”令狐冲听这老者的声音有些耳熟，心想：“莫非是当日在黑木崖上曾经见过的？”他运起内功，听得到各人说话，却不敢探头查看。魔教中的长老都是武功高手，自己稍一动弹，只怕便给他们查觉了。 葛长老道：“包莫二兄，我正和杜兄弟在商议，怎生才诱得岳不群到来，擒他到黑木崖去。”另一名长老道：“你们想到了什么计较？” 葛长老道：“我们一时还没想到什么良策，包莫二兄到来，定有妙计。”先一名老者说道：“五岳剑派在嵩山封禅台争夺掌门之位，岳不群刺瞎左冷禅双目，威震嵩山，五岳剑派之中，再也没人敢上台挑战。听说这人已得林家辟邪剑法的真传，非同小可，咱们须得想个万全之策，可不能小觑了他。”杜长老道：“正是。咱们四人合力齐上，虽然未必便输于他，却也没必胜把握。”莫长老道：“包兄，你胸中想已算定，便请说出来如何？” 那姓包的长老道：“我虽已想到一条计策，但平平无奇，只怕三位见笑了。”莫葛杜三长老齐道：“包兄是本教智囊，想的计策，定是好的。”包长老道：“这其实是个笨法子。咱们掘个极深的陷坑，上面铺上树枝青草，不露痕迹，然后点了这婆娘的穴道，将她放在坑边，再引岳不群到来。他见妻子倒地，自必上前相救，咕咚……扑通……啊哟，不好……”他一面说，一面打手势。三名长老和其余四人都哈哈大笑。 莫长老笑道：“包兄此计大妙。咱们自然都埋伏在旁，只等岳不群跌下陷坑，四件兵刃立即封住坑口，不让他上跃。否则这人武功高强，怕他没跌入坑底，便跃了上来。”包长老沉吟道：“但这中间尚有难处。”莫长老道：“什么难处？啊，是了，包兄怕岳不群剑法诡异，跌入陷阱之后，咱们仍封他不住？”包长老道：“莫兄料得甚是。这次教主派咱们办事，所要对付的，是个合并了五岳剑派的大高手。咱们若得为教主殉身，本来十分荣耀，只不过却损了神教与教主的威名。常言道得好：量小非君子，无毒不丈夫。既是对付伪君子，便当下些狠毒手段。看来咱们还须在陷阱之中，加上些物事。”杜长老道：“包长老之言，大合我心。这'百花消魂散'，兄弟身边带得不少，大可尽数撒在陷阱上的树枝草叶之中。那岳不群一入陷阱，立时会深深吸一口气……”四人说到这里，又都齐声哄笑。 包长老道：“事不宜迟，便须动手。这陷阱却设在何处最好？”葛长老道：“自此向西三里，一边是参天峭壁，另一边下临深渊，唯有一条小道可行，岳不群不来则已，否则定要经过这条小道。”包长老道：“甚好，大家过去瞧瞧。”说着拔足便行，余人随后跟去。 令狐冲心道：“他们挖掘陷阱，非一时三刻之间所能办妥，我得赶快去通知盈盈，取了长剑，再来救师娘不迟。”待魔教众人走远，悄悄循原路回去。 行出数里，忽听得嗒嗒嗒的掘地之声，心想：“怎么他们是在此处掘地？”藏身树后，探头一张，果见四名魔教的教众在弓身掘地，几个老者站在一旁。此刻相距近了，见到一个老者的侧面，心下一凛：“原来这人便是当年在杭州孤山梅庄中见过的鲍大楚。什么包长老，却是鲍长老。那日任我行在西湖脱困，第一个收服的魔教长老，便是这鲍大楚。”令狐冲曾见他出手制服黄钟公，知他武功甚高；心想师父出任五岳派掌门，摆明要跟魔教为难，魔教自不能坐视，任我行派出来对付他的，只怕尚不止这一路四个长老。只见四名教众用一对铁戟、一对钢斧，先斫松了土，再用手扒土，抄了出来，心想：“他们明明说要到那边峭壁去挖掘陷阱，却怎么改在此处？”微一凝思，已明其理：“峭壁旁都是岩石，要挖陷阱，谈何容易？”但这么一来，阻住了去路，使他没法回去取剑。眼见四人以临敌交锋用的兵刃来挖土掘地，甚是不便，陷阱非片刻间能掘成，他却又不敢离师娘太远，绕道回去取剑。 忽听葛长老笑道：“岳不群年纪已经不小，他老婆居然还这么年轻貌美。”杜长老笑道：“相貌自然不错，年轻却不见得了。我瞧早四十出头了。葛兄若是有兴，待拿住了岳不群，禀明教主，便要了这婆娘如何？”葛长老笑道：“要了这婆娘，那可不敢，拿来玩玩，倒是不妨。” 令狐冲大怒，心道：“无耻狗贼，胆敢辱我师娘，待会一个个叫你们不得好死。”听葛长老笑得甚是猥亵，忍不住探头张望，只见这葛长老伸出手来，在岳夫人脸颊上拧了一把。岳夫人要穴遭点，没法反抗，一声也不能出。魔教众人都哈哈大笑起来。杜长老笑道：“葛兄这般猴急，你有没胆子就在这里玩了这个婆娘？”令狐冲怒不可遏，这姓葛的倘真对师娘无礼，尽管自己手中无剑，也要跟这些魔教奸人拚个死活。 只听葛长老淫笑道：“玩这婆娘，有什么不敢？但若坏了教主大事，老葛便有一百个脑袋，也不够砍。”鲍大楚冷冷地道：“如此最好。葛兄弟、杜兄弟，你两位轻功好，便去引那岳不群到来，预计再过一个时辰，这里一切便可布置就绪。”葛杜二老齐声道：“是！”纵身向北而去。 二人去后，空谷之中便听得挖地之声，偶尔莫长老指挥几句。令狐冲躲在草丛之中，大气也不敢透，心想：“我这么久没回，盈盈定然挂念，必会出来寻我。她听到掘地声，过来察看，自会救我师娘。这些魔教中的长老见到任大小姐到来，怎敢违抗？冲着任教主、向大哥和盈盈的面子，我能不与魔教人众动手，自再好不过。”想到此处，反觉等得越久越好，那好色的葛长老既已离去，师娘已无受辱之虞。 耳听得众人终于掘好陷阱，放入柴草，撒了迷魂毒药，再在陷阱上盖以乱草，鲍大楚等六人分别躲入旁边的草丛，静候岳不群到来。令狐冲轻轻拾起一块大石头，拿在手里，心道：“等得师父过来，倘若走近陷阱，我便将石头投上陷阱口上柴草。石头落入陷阱，师父一见，自然警觉。” 其时已是初夏，幽谷中蝉声此起彼和，偶有小鸟飞鸣而过，此外更无别般声音。令狐冲将呼吸压得极缓极轻，倾听岳不群和葛杜二长老的脚步声。
过了半个多时辰，忽听得远处一个女子声音“啊”的一声叫，正是盈盈，令狐冲心道：“盈盈已发现外人到来。不知她见到了我师父，还是葛杜二长老？”跟着听得脚步声响，两人一前一后，疾奔而来，听得盈盈不住叫唤：“冲哥，冲哥，你师父要杀你，千万不可出来。”令狐冲大吃一惊：“师父为什么要杀我？” 只听盈盈又叫：“冲哥快走，你师父要杀你。”她全力呼唤，显是要令狐冲闻声远走。叫唤声中，只见她头发散乱，手提长剑，快步奔来，岳不群空着双手，在后追赶。 眼见盈盈再奔得十余步，便会踏入陷阱，令狐冲和鲍大楚等均十分焦急，一时不知如何是好。突然间岳不群电闪而出，左手拿住了盈盈后心，右手随即抓住她双手手腕，将她双臂反在背后。盈盈登时动弹不得，手一松，长剑落地。岳不群这一下出手快极，令狐冲和鲍大楚固不及救援，盈盈本来武功也是甚高，竟无闪避抗拒之能，一招间便给他擒住。 令狐冲大惊，险些叫出声来。盈盈仍在叫唤：“冲哥快走，你师父要杀你！”令狐冲热泪涌入眼眶，心想：“她只顾念我的危险，全不念及自己。” 岳不群左手一松，随即伸指在盈盈背上点了几下，封了她穴道，放开右手，让她委顿在地。便在此时，他一眼见到岳夫人躺在地下，全不动弹，岳不群吃了一惊，但立时料到左近定然隐伏重大危险，并不立即走到妻子身边，只不动声色地四下察看，一时不见异状，便淡淡地道：“任大小姐，令狐冲这恶贼杀我爱女，你也有一份吗？” 令狐冲又大吃一惊：“师父说我杀了小师妹，这话从哪里说起？” 盈盈道：“你女儿是林平之杀的，跟令狐冲有什么相干？你口口声声说令狐冲杀了你女儿，当真冤枉好人。”岳不群哈哈一笑，道：“林平之是我女婿，难道你不知道？他们新婚燕尔，何等恩爱，岂有杀妻之理？”盈盈道：“林平之投靠嵩山派，为了取信于左冷禅，表明与你势不两立，因此将你女儿杀了。” 岳不群又哈哈一笑，说道：“胡说八道。嵩山派？这世上还有什么嵩山派？嵩山一派早已并入了五岳派。武林之中，嵩山派已然除名，林平之又怎能去投靠嵩山派？再说，左冷禅是我属下，林平之又不是不知。他不追随身为五岳派掌门的岳父，却去投靠一个瞎了双眼、自身难保的左冷禅，天下再蠢的傻子，也不会干这等笨事。” 盈盈道：“你不信，那也由得你。你找到了林平之，自己问他好了。” 岳不群语音突转严峻，说道：“眼前我要找的不是林平之，而是令狐冲。江湖上人人都道，令狐冲对我女儿非礼，我女儿力拒淫贼，遭杀身亡。你编了一大篇谎话出来，为令狐冲隐瞒，显是与他狼狈为奸。”盈盈哼了一声，嘿嘿几下冷笑。岳不群道：“任大小姐，令尊是日月教教主，我对你本来不会为难，但为了逼迫令狐冲出来，说不得，只好在你身上加一点儿小小刑罚。我要先斩去你左手手掌，然后斩去你右手手掌，下一步是斩去你的左脚，再斩去你的右脚。令狐冲这恶贼若还有半点良心，便该现身。”盈盈大声道：“料你也不敢，你动了我身上一根头发，我爹爹将你五岳派杀得鸡犬不留。” 岳不群笑道：“我不敢吗？”说着从腰间剑鞘中慢慢抽出长剑。 令狐冲再也忍耐不住，从草丛中冲了出来，叫道：“师父，令狐冲在这里！” 盈盈“啊”的一声，忙道：“快走，快走！他不敢伤我的。” 令狐冲摇了摇头，走近几步，说道：“师父……”岳不群厉声道：“小贼，你还有脸叫我'师父'？”令狐冲目中含泪，双膝跪地，颤声道：“皇天在上，令狐冲对岳姑娘向来敬重，决不敢对她有分毫无礼。令狐冲受你夫妇养育的大恩，你要杀我，动手好了！” 盈盈大急，叫道：“冲哥，这人半男半女，早已失了人性，你还不快走！” 岳不群脸上蓦地现出一股凌厉杀气，转向盈盈，厉声道：“你这话是什么意思？” 盈盈道：“你为了练辟邪剑法，自……自……自己搅得半死半活，早已如鬼怪一般。冲哥，你记得东方不败么？他们都是疯子，你别当他们是常人。”她只盼令狐冲赶快逃走，明知这么说，岳不群定然放不过自己，却也顾不得了。 岳不群冷冷地道：“你这些怪话，是从哪里听来的？” 盈盈道：“是林平之亲口说的。你偷了林平之的《辟邪剑谱》，你当他不知么？你将那件袈裟投入峡谷，那时候林平之躲在你窗外，伸手捡了去，因此他……他也练成了辟邪剑法，若非如此，他怎能杀得了木高峰和余沧海？他自己怎样练成辟邪剑法，自然知道你是怎样练成的。冲哥，你听这岳不群说话的声音，就像女子一般。他……他和东方不败一样，早已失却常性了。”她曾听到林平之和岳灵珊在大车中的说话，令狐冲却没听到。她知令狐冲始终敬爱师父，不愿更增他心中难过，这番话又十分不便出口，是以数月来一直不提。但此刻事机紧迫，只好抖露出来，要令狐冲知道，眼前的人并不是什么武林中的宗师掌门，不过是个失却常性的怪人，与疯子岂可讲什么恩义交情？ 岳不群目光中杀气大盛，恶狠狠地道：“任大小姐，我本想留你一条性命，但你说话如此胡闹，却容你不得了。这是你自取其死，可别怪我。” 盈盈叫道：“冲哥，快走，快走！” 令狐冲知师父出手快极，长剑一颤之下，盈盈便没了性命，眼见岳不群长剑提起，作势便欲刺出，大叫：“你要杀人，便来杀我，休得伤她。” 岳不群转过头来，冷笑道：“你学得一点三脚猫的剑法，便以为能横行江湖么？拾起剑来，叫你死得心服。”令狐冲道：“万万不敢……不敢与师……与你动手。”岳不群大声道：“到得今日，你还装腔作势干什么？那日在黄河舟中、五霸冈上，你勾结一帮旁门左道，故意削我面子，其时我便已决意杀你，隐忍至今，已便宜了你。在福州你落入我手中，若不是碍着我夫人，早叫你这小贼见阎王去了。当日一念之差，反让我女儿命丧于你这淫贼之手。”令狐冲急得只叫：“我没有……我没有……
