Chapter 12 Twelfth Round Two Bronze Medals

Shi Potian saw that the dead ship had disappeared, and there was no one in the village, so when he took a step, his heart skipped a beat, his face was already miserable, and he said to himself: "Fortunately, they have all hid. Can't see us." Zhang San and Li Si duan looked at each other and walked to a small hut. Zhang San stretched out his hand and pushed open the board door. On the side, a large iron ring was exposed from the bottom of the tank.Li Si grabbed the iron ring and lifted it up. Suddenly, there was a sound, and an iron plate rose up in response to his hand, revealing a big hole.

Zhang San jumped down first, and Li Si jumped down after him.Shi Potian could only look at it in amazement, guessing that it must be the hiding place of the perpetrator in the Tiecha Society, he hurriedly persuaded: "You two brothers, you can't go down here..." Before finishing speaking, Zhang San, Li Si had long since disappeared, and thought to himself: "We should share the difficulties." He had no choice but to brace himself and jumped down too. There is a passage in front, and Shi Potian walked anxiously behind the two.After walking a few steps, someone shouted: "Which one?" Where the strong wind picked up, two shining iron forks stabbed at Zhang San.Zhang San swung his hands and slapped the iron fork. Under the shock of internal force, the two fell to the ground and died.

Giant tallow candles were lit on the wall of the passageway, and after walking several feet, he made a turn, and there must be two men guarding each corner.Every time Zhang San just waved his hand, he shocked the man holding the iron fork to death. His shots were fast and accurate, clean and neat, and he never used the second move. Shi Potian opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, he thought: "What kind of magic is Brother Zhang using? If this is actually martial arts, it is much more powerful than Ding Busan, Ding Busi Grandpa, and Master Bai." While he was in a trance, he could only hear the noise of people, and many people rushed towards him from the corridor.Zhang San and Li Si were still walking slowly, but the people rushing towards them stood still suddenly, their faces were terrified.

Zhang San asked: "Is the chief helmsman here?" A tall and strong man clasped his fists and said: "You Desheng is the head of the Little Tiecha Society. The two big drivers have come to welcome you. Please go to the hall and have a drink. Ah, there is another distinguished guest, please Three rewards." Zhang San and Li Si nodded.Shi Potian saw that the surrounding scene was extremely strange, in this tunnel, Zhang San had already killed two members of the Tiecha Society in one go, he expected that the other party would never give up, and just wanted to turn around and run for his life, but he saw Zhang San and Li Sihao He stepped forward indifferently, unable to retreat alone, had to follow behind, but couldn't help trembling all over his body.

You Desheng, the chief helmsman of the Iron Fork Club, led the way respectfully, and the congregation of the Iron Fork Club was lined up beside the corridor, all of them were holding iron forks, with sharp and gleaming forks.Zhang San, Li Si and Shi Potian passed between the two rows of congregations, and only turned a corner, suddenly their eyes were brightly lit, and they arrived in a hall, with countless torches stuck on the wall, shining like daylight, and surrounded by people standing Congregation holding forks.Shi Potian occasionally gets aggressive with these people.When the light touches, turn your head hastily, don't you dare? ……Look.

You Desheng asked Zhang San and Li Si to sit down.Zhang and Li did not give in, and sat down alone.Zhang San pointed to the seat beside him with a smile, and said, "Little brother, you can sit here." After Shi Potian took his seat, You Desheng accompanied him in the main seat. In a moment, several members of the congregation, wearing green robes and without weapons, served cups, chopsticks, wine and food.Zhang San and Li Si shook their left hands, and something flew out of their robe sleeves at the same time, and with a bang, they landed side by side in front of You Desheng, but they were two bronze medals, embedded in the table evenly, just in line with the tabletop, and then It seems to be finely inlaid.There is a human face engraved on each plate, smiling and angry, exactly the same as the two bronze plates nailed to the cabin door of the dead body of the Flying Fish Gang.

You Desheng's face changed suddenly, he stood up, there was a loud clang, and more than a hundred men around shook the iron fork together, the iron ring on the fork made a deafening sound, and each of them took a step. Shi Potian shouted: "Ah!" Standing up in a hurry, he wanted to run away, thinking to himself: "It's not easy to escape in this underground hall." Looking sideways at Zhang San and Li Si, one of them was still standing. Grinning, the other was eccentric and remained calm.Shi Potian didn't dare to act on his own, he had no choice but to sit down again.

You Desheng said sadly: "Since that's the case, then what else can I say." Zhang San smiled and said: "Master You, you are the only descendant of Shanxi'Fuhumen'. What's more, you are ingenious, and you have made a lot of subtle changes to the fork method passed down by the predecessors. It is unique and admirable. We are here to invite you to Xiake Island for a bowl of Laba porridge. Suspicious." You Desheng hesitated for a moment, reached out and patted the table, the two bronze medals jumped up, he reached out to catch them, put them in his arms, and said, "The laba surnamed You is sure to arrive." Zhang San snapped his right thumb Standing upright, he said, "Thank you Zongzhu You, so that my brothers will not return empty-handed."

Suddenly a person in the crowd said loudly: "Although the Chief Steward You is our brains, all the brothers of the Tiecha Congregation live and die together, we cannot allow the Chief Steward to die for the brothers alone." Shi Potian recognized the voice when he heard the voice. He was the big brother Hu who killed two people in a row in the cabin, knowing that this person was extremely fierce, his heart couldn't help jumping wildly. You Desheng smiled wryly and said: "What good is it to lose more lives in vain? I've made up my mind, Brother Hu, don't need to say more." Lifting the jug, he went to pour wine for Zhang San, but his right hand couldn't help shaking and splashed on the table. There was a lot of drinks.

Zhang San said with a smile: "I've heard that Mr. You is a hero, and he kills people without blinking an eye. Why are you a little scared today?" He raised the wine glass to his mouth, and suddenly there was a ping-pong sound, and the wine glass fell to the ground and shattered. Followed by the body tilted, sideways on the chair.Shi Potian was startled and said: "Brother, what's the matter?" Turning his head to Li Si, he asked, "Second brother, he... he..." Without a word, he saw Li Si slowly slipping under the table.Shi Potian was even more panicked and was at a loss for a while.

At the beginning, You Desheng said that Zhang San and Li Si were acting deliberately, but seeing that Zhang San's face was blood red and his breathing was short of breath, Li Si's eyes turned white, and his face was faintly purple and black, which showed that he was poisonous. .He was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to take any action, pretending to ask: "What's the matter with you two?" Li Ming shrank under the table, twitching uncontrollably. Shi Potian was terrified, he hurriedly helped Li Si up, and asked: "Second Brother, are you... are you... not feeling well?" He didn't know that Zhang San and Li Si were fighting with him just now, and they drank highly poisonous medicinal wine , Each of them drank eight or nine mouthfuls.With the strength of the two of them, if they drink three gates in a row, they can use their internal strength and resistance quickly, and there will be no serious problems. These eight or nine mouthfuls of non-stop drinking, but it is far beyond the amount. , After drinking so much poisoned wine, I didn't feel any abdominal pain.The two of them have already taken the antidote, the antidote is designed to prevent the poisonous substance from spreading for a while, and to use the internal force to absorb and dissolve the medicinal wine later to strengthen the internal force, but this antidote only has the effect of suppressing the poison, but has no effect on detoxification. Otherwise, it would be a pity if such precious and rare medicinal wine would lose its medicinal properties when taking the antidote?Although the two of them knew the effect of the antidote, they had never taken such a large dose before, they waited a while for a while, and the poison in the alcohol suddenly broke out at the same time, it was beyond their expectation. At that time, Zhang San and Li Si felt severe pain in their stomachs and felt numb all over their bodies.Knowing that the situation is critical, the two of them hurriedly drew the true qi from their dantians, wrapped their stomachs in the poisoned wine, hoping to slowly let it melt away bit by bit, otherwise the poison would explode suddenly, and their hearts would stop beating immediately.But whether it's too late, whether it's too early or too late, the poison occurs at this time, and his life is really in the hands of others, even if he can resist the poisoned wine in his belly, he still cannot escape the poisonous hands of the Tiecha Society.Both of them thought: "The two of us ruled the world, but we died here today." Director You of the Tiecha Society, that surnamed Hu and all the members of the congregation were shocked when they saw Zhang San and Li Si suddenly leaning on their chairs, sweating profusely, muscles twitching on their faces, and looking pained.Everyone was shocked by the prestige of the two, although they saw that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they didn't dare to make any changes for a while. Shi Potian only asked: "Big Brother, Second Brother, are you drunk, or did you suddenly get sick?" Zhang San and Li Si didn't answer, they just half-recumbent and half-sitting, trying to use their internal energy to offset the poison in their abdomen. White air came out from the top of the head. You Desheng saw white gas coming out from the top of the two people's heads, he knew it, and said in a low voice: "Brother Hu, these two people are either insane, or have a sudden illness, and they are urgently mobilizing their internal energy, everyone hurry up!" The man surnamed Hu was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to come close to make a move. He picked up an iron fork and threw it at Zhang San with a whirring sound.Zhang San was powerless to resist, so he leaned slightly, and with a bang, the iron fork pierced his shoulder, and blood spattered everywhere.Shi Potian was shocked and shouted: "You...what are you doing? How dare you hurt my elder brother?" Seeing him young and flustered, the members of the Tiecha Society didn't take him seriously.Seeing that the flying fork surnamed Hu stabs Zhang San, the other party can't even dodge, let alone parry. With his left arm crossed, Shi Potian shook the two iron forks away, stretched out his right hand to catch the third iron fork, and dodged in front of Zhang San and Li Si.In the chaos, another five iron forks were thrown towards him. Shi Potian raised the iron forks in his hand and hurriedly knocked them away one by one. The two iron forks bounced back, smashed the head of one member of the congregation, and stabbed another Belly of the congregation. You Desheng saw that the place was narrow and the iron fork couldn't be used, and such a melee would hurt his brother more, so he shouted: "Everyone stay here, let me deal with this little thief first." He bent down and touched his hands into the leg wrap , and when they stood up straight again, they already had a gleaming small steel fork with a short handle in each of their hands. The congregation of Tiecha retreated one after another, stood against the wall, and shouted in unison: "Look at the chief steward taking care of this thief boy." In the underground secret room, the voice could not be transmitted, and it sounded very depressed. You Desheng bowed his body slightly, and quickly and abnormally moved to Shi Potian's side, raised and lowered two small steel forks, and pierced his cheeks and waist eyes.Shi Potian never expected the opponent's attack to be so fast, he shouted "Ah", he rushed forward a step, but his waist and right arm were hit by the blade at the same time, and with a bang, the iron fork he was holding fell off. underground.Seeing that his martial arts skills were not high, You Desheng was more than half relieved, yelled repeatedly, and then rushed towards him like a whirlwind. Shi Potian's right arm was slightly injured, but the prick on his waist really hurt, seeing him rushing up viciously again, he leaned out of the way, turned his palm and shot down his back, using a move taught by Ding Busi.You Desheng's most outstanding feature is Xiaoqiao maneuvering, close-to-hand combat, Shi Potian's posture is ugly when he makes moves, but when he raises his hands and feet, there is a faint sound of wind, his inner strength is strong, and he is quite afraid in his heart. Zhao Zhao stabbed at Shi Potian's vital point. Zhang San and Li Si were lucky enough to contain the poisonous substance in their stomachs, while watching Shi Potian and Mr. You fight against each other. They knew that their lives today depended on whether Shi Potian could win or not. Seeing that he missed countless good opportunities, both It's a pity, and I'm very anxious, but I don't dare to be too distracted, so as to distract my internal breath. After fighting for a while, Shi Potian's right leg was swept by the small steel fork again, with an "ah yo", he slapped his right palm quickly.You Desheng suddenly smelled a strong sweet fragrance, his head became dizzy, and he passed out immediately.Shi Potian was stunned, and jumped back. The general surnamed Hu went up and saw that You Desheng's face was all purple and black, obviously he had been poisoned, so he sniffed him, and he was already dead.He was frightened and angry, and hissed, "You boy... boy, you are poisoning people, let's fight him! Come on, everyone, the chief helmsman was killed by the boy." The Tiecha congregation cheered On the ground, they raised their iron forks to stab at Shi Potian indiscriminately. Shi Potian stood in front of Zhang San and Li Si, he didn't dare to dodge, he was afraid that if he moved a little bit, the two righteous brothers would die under more than ten iron forks. Break the fork with all your strength, and use the Golden Crow Saber technique to sweep across the frame.His extremely powerful internal energy was transported to the fork, and he was invincible. In an instant, more than ten iron forks were blown away by him.The one standing closest, let go of the iron fork, and then rushed forward with his body, his hands turned into claws, and grabbed Shi Potian's face.Seeing his fierce momentum, Shi Potian swooped out with his left hand and hit ten of his fingers with a bang, only a few clicks were heard, the wrist bones snapped, and the man fell to the ground in a state of fatigue, without moving at all. Moved. During the melee, no one had time to pay attention to the life and death of that person, seven or eight people approached Shi Potian to attack, some with forks, some with empty hands.Shi Potian didn't dare to take a step back, when he saw someone approaching, he stretched out his palm and slapped him, he didn't know why, the opponent would fall down immediately, the effect was like a god. After knocking down six people in a row, several people yelled: "This kid's poisonous palm is powerful, everyone be careful." Another person shouted: "Brother Wang also gave this kid a poisonous palm high-five, little... small... Heart..." Before the man finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a thud, and hit his face heavily with an iron fork.This person was not hit by Shi Potian's palm, but he was also poisoned and died. The congregation of the Tiecha Society looked terrified, and retreated step by step, but they heard the sounds of clangs, bangs, clicks, and ah-ahs, and fell down one by one. Some turned around and tried to escape, but they couldn't take two steps. That is, roll over. In a blink of an eye, more than a hundred strong men in the hall fell all over the ground in a haphazard manner, leaving only four people with the highest skills, covering their mouths and noses with their hands, rushing out of the way, but they only rushed to the entrance of the hall, and the four of them crowded together. Form a ball and fall dead at the same time. When Shi Potian saw this scene, he was stunned with fright, much more frightened than he was when he ran into the corpse ship by mistake on Ziyan Island that day.The members of the Flying Fish Gang that I saw in the corpse ship were all dead, but at this moment, the members of the Iron Fork Society were dying one by one in front of my eyes. I don't know if they were possessed by evil spirits or bewitched by evil spirits. He remembered those people who said that he was powerful with poisonous palms, and when he lifted his palms to look at them, he saw a mass of red clouds that were as red as blood in both palms, and beside the red clouds were countless bluish-blue stripes, the colors were extremely bright.Before marrying Zhang San and Li Si, there were red spots and blue spots in the palms of both palms, but they were very small at that time, and I don't know when they turned into this appearance.After looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but feel sick. I only felt that the palms of my hands became like the door of a poisonous snake and the back of a centipede, and I smelled some strong smell in my nose. When he turned his head to look at Zhang San and Li Si, he saw that the two looked peaceful, the whiteness on their heads became thicker, and Zhang San's shoulders were raised.Nail the iron fork.He thought: "I have to pull out the iron fork for elder brother." Grabbing the handle of the fork and pulling it lightly, the iron fork came up in response, and a stream of blood spurted out from the wound on Zhang San's shoulder.Shi Potian hurriedly pressed down, tore off a corner of the skirt, and covered the wound for him. Zhang San took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "You... listen... I... say... do... according to... my... words..." Word by word, the voice It is low and the tone is extremely slow.The poison he suffered was comparable to that of Li Si, but a lot of blood came out from the wound on his shoulder, which slowed down the attack of the poison he suffered. Shi Potian nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, please give me your orders." Zhang San said: "You... left... hand... press... my... back... Ling... platform... acupoint..." Then Taking a breath and saying a word, it took a long time to teach Shi Potian how to use his inner strength to help him expel the poison in his body. Bleeding.Shi Potian didn't dare to be negligent, he immediately followed his instructions, untied his shirt, pressed his left hand on Lingtai acupoint, right hand pressed his right bein middle acupoint, breathed in with his left hand, breathed out with his right hand, sure enough, after a short while, there was a The hot air, as thin as a gossamer, penetrated from the right palm. Just as he was exerting all his strength with one palm to breathe out and the other to breathe in, he suddenly heard footsteps, more than ten people rushed in, all holding iron forks in their hands.These people were ordered to guard outside. After a long time, they did not hear any sound. They came in to visit immediately. Unexpectedly, the leaders and brothers of the gang were all dead on the spot. In horror, they saw Shi Potian sitting with Zhang San and Li Si. On the ground, they were obviously also seriously injured. Everyone shouted and stabbed at the three of them with their forks.Shi Potian was about to get up to resist, but unexpectedly these ten or so people rushed to a place more than Zhang away from him, suddenly their bodies swayed, each of them collapsed limply, they died without a sound. Shi Potian was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, and said face to face: "Brother...Brother, there are evil spirits in this room. Let's go quickly..." Zhang San shook his head, at this moment the poison in his body Halfway there, the abdominal pain is not as severe as before, and he said: "You... use this method... for... for the second brother... also... this... do it..." Shi Potian said: "Yes, yes." According to the method taught by Zhang San, he took drugs for Li Si, but at this moment, a trace of cold air entered his palm.After about a meal, the poison in Li Si's body became lighter, and he was asked to take drugs for Zhang San again. Repeatedly like this, Shi Potian smoked three times for each person.Although the remaining poison in the two people's bodies is not clean, they are completely fine.The two of them were going to use these poisons to boost their own skills, they only needed to melt them slowly. The two looked around at the corpses, recalling the danger of the situation just now, they couldn't help feeling lingering fear, thinking that Shi Potian detoxified the two of them just now, and absorbed a lot of poison in his palms, if it's harmful, they must try to detoxify him, But seeing that although his face is full of fear, his behavior is as usual, there is no sign of being poisoned at all, they all think that this kid has taken some kind of Ganoderma lucidum, and such a powerful poison can't do anything to him, I feel lucky for him, And secretly grateful.The two of them naturally knew that the reason why the congregation of the Tiecha Society died immediately when they encountered his palm wind was because the poison in his body was emitted. After arriving, the hall was dense and the poisonous mist filled the air. It is fatal.Since it was not easy to explain, he neither asked nor mentioned it. Zhang Sandao: "Second brother, third brother, let's go!" He went out first, followed by Li Si and Shi Potian. The three walked out of the tunnel, only to see dozens of people standing in the open space outside, holding iron forks, looking around. When the people saw the three people coming out, they shouted and surrounded them seven times.Someone asked, "Where's the chief rudder? Why haven't you come out yet?" Zhang San smiled and said, "The chief rudder is inside!" The person who was in front asked again, "Why did you come out first?" Zhang San smiled and said: "Even I don't understand this, go in and see for yourself." Stretching out his hands, he grabbed a man's chest with one hand, and threw it into the tunnel.The rest of the people screamed loudly, stabbing at him with their iron forks.Zhang San didn't dodge or dodge, he reached out with both hands, grabbed the two of them, and threw them backwards. Shi Potian stood aside, but seeing Zhang San grabbing him casually, his hands were ready, no matter how the opponent tried to resist and dodge, it would be difficult to escape his grasp.The more he looked, the more surprised he became, he thought that his elder brother's martial arts were so good, none of the masters he had seen before could match him. Li Si put his hands behind his back and did not step forward to help.After throwing more than ten people, Zhang San went behind everyone's back, only grabbing the furthest one, and gradually forced them to the tunnel entrance.Someone shouted: "Flee!" and ran into the tunnel first, and the rest followed.Shi Potian shouted: "It's dangerous inside, don't go in!" But who will listen to him? His mind was filled with countless doubts: Why did the members of the Tiecha Society suddenly die one by one?Why did the eldest brother and the second brother suddenly suffer from poisoning?Why did the eldest brother drive these many people into the tunnel?For a while, I didn't know which thing to ask first, so I just called out: "Big Brother, Second Brother!" Then Zhang San said: "Hey! Who's here over there?" Shi Potian looked back, but there was no one there, and asked, "Who is here?" But he didn't hear Zhang San's answer, and when he turned his head again, he couldn't help being surprised, Zhang San and Li Si had disappeared, so he went It's like hiding away.Shi Potian exclaimed in shock: "Big brother, second brother! Where have you been?" He called several times, but no one answered. He was at a loss, and hurriedly searched for it in the four houses.The fishing village is full of mud huts, and he even broke into seven or eight families, but there was no one there. At that time, the red sun was just rising, and the sun was everywhere, and he was the only one left in a big empty village. He thought of the tragic death of everyone in the tunnel and the hall, he couldn't help shivering, yelled, and ran away.After going straight for more than ten miles, he slowed down, and when he raised his palm to look at it again, the red cloud and blue pattern on his palm had disappeared for a little bit, it was not as disgusting as when he first saw it, and he felt a little relieved.He didn't know that the palm didn't use internal force, the poison gradually returned to the body along the meridians.Afterwards, practice Qigong every day, and the poison will gradually decrease, and the power will also increase. It will take about seventy-seven forty-nine days before the toxicity will disappear.
He walked on foot for a long time, and then came to the bank of the Yangtze River, and marched down along the riverside road. At noon, I bought some noodles in a small town and ate them, then headed east again.He roamed freely without any worries, and when he arrived in the evening, a corner of the yellow wall was exposed in the woods in front of him. When he walked closer, he saw a temple with a magnificent house. Two Taoists with yellow crowns carrying long swords came. When the two Taoists saw Shi Potian, they quickly approached him.A middle-aged Taoist asked: "What are you doing?" Seeing that Shi Potian's clothes were filthy, he looked around clumsily at a young age, and his words were not polite. Shi Potian didn't think it was disobedient, and said with a smile, "I'm just walking around, not doing anything. Is this the monk's temple? I have money, can I buy something to eat with you, okay?" Ba Dao, do you think I’m a monk? We’re not running a restaurant, what food will we sell to you? Go, go! Then come to Shangqing Temple to mess around and break your leg.” Another young Taoist pressed his hand The hilt of the sword has a vicious look on its face, as if it is about to draw a sword to kill someone. Shi Potian said: "I'm hungry, I asked you to buy some food, and I didn't come to fight. It's all good, why should I beat you to death?" Then he turned and walked away.The young Taoist said angrily: "What did you say?" He rushed to catch up. Shi Potian's words were from the bottom of his heart, he killed a person with a single swing of his hand in the hall of Tiechahui, the boss in his heart regretted it, and really didn't want to fight with others, seeing the young Taoist coming up to fight, he was afraid that he would kill him again inexplicably, Immediately, he ran and fled into the woods.Only the two Taoist priests laughed, and the middle-aged Taoist said: "He is a fool, he just got scared and ran away with his tail between his legs." Shi Potian saw that the two Taoist priests stopped chasing him, and seeing that it was getting late, he wanted to find some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, but the forest was full of pine, fir, and cypress trees, and there were no wild fruits.He ran up a small hillside, looked around, and saw that the Taoist temple was built next to the hill, and there were dozens of houses in the front, back, left, and right sides. White smoke kept rising from the chimney of the house behind, which was obviously cooking.Except for this Taoist temple, as far as the eye can see, there are no other houses nearby. When he saw the cooking smoke, his stomach gurgled even more, and he thought: "These Taoists are so fierce, they will fight as soon as they open their mouths. I'll go to the back and see if there is anything to eat, take it and leave. Just put down the money , so you’re not a thief.” Immediately after walking around to the Taoist temple from the forest, he saw where the cooking smoke was, walked against the wall, saw a back door half-opened, and walked in. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and it was a courtyard when you entered, but you could hear the noise of people, the spatulas were banging in the iron pan, the dishes squeaked in the cooking oil, and the aroma wafted into the courtyard, which was the kitchen where.Shi Potian swallowed his saliva, quietly hid in the doorway of the kitchen from the corridor, and hid in a dark corridor, thinking: "Let's see where these cooked meals are sent? If there is no one in the dining hall for a while, I will buy them." Just leave with a bowl of meat, and you won't fight and kill people." Sure enough, not long after, three people came out of the kitchen.The three are little Taoist priests, one of them is holding a lantern, and the two behind him are each holding a tray. The trays are full of hot aroma, obviously full of delicacies.Shi Potian swallowed his saliva, stepped lightly, and quietly followed behind.The three little Taoist priests walked through the south road and passed through a corridor, and came to a hall. They put down dishes on the table. seat. Shi Potian hid outside the long window, looking out into the hall.After finally waiting for the little Taoist to turn to the back hall, he quickly rushed into the hall, grabbed a piece of braised beef in the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, and tore a steamed chicken drumstick with both hands. As soon as the first mouthful of beef was swallowed, someone said outside the long window: "Junior Brother: Junior Sister, please." With the sound of footsteps, several people came to the front of the hall. Shi Potian yelled secretly: "Not good!" Grasping the steamed fat chicken in his hand, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the table, and was about to rush to the back hall, but he heard footsteps. , There are also people coming from the back hall.Glancing around, seeing the empty hall with nowhere to hide, he couldn't help crying secretly: "Are you going to fight again?" Hearing that those people had walked to the long window, he thought of the death conditions of the people in the tunnel of the Tiecha Society. Although there may be ghosts and ghosts in the dark, the members of the congregation may not have been killed by himself. , in desperation, he caught a glimpse of a large plaque hanging on the beam, and had no time to think about it, so he jumped onto the beam and got behind the plaque.He lay flat on his back, just enough to accommodate him.At this time, the distance was really only a moment, and he just hid behind the plaque, the long window was pushed open, and several people walked in. Only one person said: "My senior brother, but my senior brother is so polite and set up such a sumptuous meal." Shi Potian was very familiar with this accent, peeping down from the gap between the wooden plaque and the beam, he saw a dozen people sitting together with a man and a woman, these two were the owner and wife of Xuansuzhuang. .He has always been very grateful to these two people, especially Mrs. Shi Min Rou, who had given him silver back then, and taught him swordsmanship a few days ago, the moment he saw him, he felt a burst of warmth in his heart. An old Taoist with white beard said: "Junior brother and younger sister came from afar, Brother Yu is overjoyed, how can a glass of water and wine be called rich?" Some leftover soup was poured down, and the main dish in the bowl was steamed chicken or hoof, but it had disappeared, and there was a silver ingot beside the bowl, let alone what to say. The old Taoist frowned, thinking how the little Taoist priests were so negligent, no one guarded them, they stole food for the cats, and there were only distant visitors here, so it was inconvenient to reprimand the subordinates for these trivial matters.At this time, another little Taoist priest brought the dishes, everyone looked embarrassed when they saw the bowl of soup, and hurriedly cleaned it up without anyone mentioning it.The old Taoist asked Shi Qing and his wife to sit at the head of the table, and he accompanied them horizontally. His robe sleeves flicked and covered the silver ingots. When the sleeves were removed, the silver ingots on the table disappeared.In the middle seat sat three other middle-aged Taoists, and the remaining twelve Taoists sat in the other two seats.
After drinking for three rounds, the old Taoist sighed and said: "I haven't seen you for eight years, my younger brother and younger sister are more beautiful than before, but brother Yu is very old." Shi Qing said: "My brother's hair is a little gray, but his spirit is still very strong." The old Taoist said: "What's white? I'm so worried, I've had my head all night... If my younger brother and younger sister came three days ago, my beard and hair would only be half black and half white." Shi Qing said: "Brother What you care about is to reward good and punish evil envoys?" The old Taoist sighed, and said: "Besides this, there is probably no second thing in the world that can make the number of Taoists in the sky in a few days. Twenty years older." Shi Qingdao: My junior sister and I heard the news at the edge of Chaohu Lake that the two envoys of rewarding good and punishing evil have come back. The martial arts world is facing catastrophe, so we came here in the starry night to discuss a good strategy with the senior brother in charge and all the senior brothers.In the past ten years, my Shangqing Temple has become more and more famous in the martial arts. The tree is so big that it attracts the wind, and the two envoys of good and evil may patronize us.The younger brother and his wife intend to stay in the monastery for a month or two, if they really cheat "), even though the younger brother and his wife are not doing well, they have to sacrifice their lives for the master." Tianxu sighed softly, took out two bronze medals from his pocket, clacked them twice, and put them on the table. Shi Potian was standing on top of their heads, he could see clearly that there was a smiling face and an angry face on the two cards, which were exactly the same as the bronze medals he had seen twice before, so he couldn't help but wondered: "This old Taoist priest also has these two cards. ?'” Shi Qing let out a "huh" and said: "So the two envoys of good and evil have already come, and my younger brother and his wife rushed here non-stop, after all, it is still a step late. What day did it happen? Senior brother... how do you deal with it?" Tianxu was restless and did not answer for a while, a middle-aged Taoist sitting next to him said: "That happened three days ago. The senior brother, who is benevolent and righteous, has promised to go to Xiake Island to drink Laba porridge." When Shi Qing saw the two bronze medals and saw that everyone in the temple was safe, he had already guessed 90% of it, so he stood up abruptly, bowed deeply to Tianxu, and said, "Senior brother shoulders the heavy burden to keep Shangqing Temple safe." Seeing the safety of the whole world, I feel ashamed, so I would like to thank you first. But I have an unfeeling request, so please don't blame me." Taoist Daxu smiled back and said: "Everything in the world is like floating clouds to Brother Yu at this moment. Brother has an order, and he obeys it." Shi Qing said: "In this way, senior brother agreed?" Tian Xu said: "Of course I agreed. But I don't know what orders my virtuous brother has?" Shi Qing said: " The younger brother is bold and bold, and wants to ask the elder brother to hand over the head of the Shangqingguan sect to the younger brother and his wife. " As soon as he said this, all the Taoists in the hall were shocked.Tianxu pondered before answering, Shi Qing said again: "After the younger brother and his wife take charge of the sect, we will go to the Xiake Island to taste this bowl of Laba porridge." Tianxu laughed out loud, but the laughter was full of bitterness, tears glistened in his eyes, and said: "Brother Yu is kind, Brother Yu understands it. But Brother Yu has been the head of the Shangqing School for more than ten years. , is well known in the martial arts world. Facing a crisis today, I just shy away from it, where will I put Tianxu's old face in the future?" When he said this, he reached out and grabbed Shi Qing's right palm, and said, "My dear brother, there is a big difference in age between you and me. It's far away, and you are a layman, and you were rarely together in the past. But you and I have always been close friends, not to mention your martial arts character, you are indeed the first-class figure in our sect, and Brother Yu has always admired you. If it weren't for this Laba covenant, you To be the head of this faction, Brother Yu will be willing to give in. Today's situation is very different, but Brother Yu absolutely cannot accept orders, haha, haha!" The smile was desolate. Shi Potian wondered what the "Laba porridge" on Xiake Island was. He had heard it from his elder brother in the Tiecha meeting. Now when Daoist Xu mentioned the date of Laba porridge, his expression changed drastically. Could it be something fatal? Is it highly poisonous? I just heard Tianxu say again: "Brother Yu, Brother Yu's hair turned white all night. It's definitely not because he is greedy for life and afraid of death. I am already sixty-four years old, and if I die this year, it will be considered as the end of my life. But I have thought over and over how to get rid of it. This catastrophe that occurs every ten years in the martial arts world? How can we maintain the prestige of our school? That is the real difficulty. In the past thirty years, Xia Ke Island has held three Laba banquets. None of the heroes from various sects, gangs and associations who were invited to the meeting can come back. Brother Yu died, it is not a pity, but we have to think of a proper way to deal with the aftermath." Shi Qing also laughed, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and said: "Senior brother, the younger brother and his wife are beyond their means, and they want to ask senior brother to step aside, not to take two lives on behalf of senior brother, but to go Find out. Maybe God blesses you to find out the truth. Although I dare not say that this great harm can be eliminated in the martial arts, but as long as the secrets are leaked out, the martial arts all over the world will be no match for Xia Kedao. Who are you?" Tianxu shook his head slowly, and said: "It's not that I adore others' ambitions and underestimate my virtuous brother. Masters like Abbot Miaodi of Shaolin Temple, Master Yu Tea of ​​Wudang School, and Taoist Qingkong of Kongtong School are all gone forever. Alas, although my virtuous brother's martial arts are high, in the end... after all, he is still not comparable to the senior masters like Abbot Miaodi and Taoist Master Yu." Shi Qingdao: "My little brother also has self-knowledge in this section. But the success of success depends half on ability and half on luck. It is inherently impossible to be ignorant of great harm. Trying to find out some secrets may not be completely hopeless." Tianxu still shook his head and said: "The head of Shangqing Temple has always been in charge of Daoliu for a hundred years. After Brother Yu died, he was appointed to be succeeded by Junior Brother Chongxu. Since then, the virtuous brother and his wife have tried their best to help, so that the sect will not decline. Annihilation, brother Yu is very grateful." Shi Qing said again and again, Tian Xu would not allow it.Everyone stopped drinking and forgot to eat vegetables.Shi Potian gently tore off a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, afraid of chewing it loudly, he swallowed it whole, but his eyes were still peeping intently from the gap. Mrs. Shi and Min Rou listened to her husband and Taoist Tianxu talking, without interrupting, but slowly stretched out her hand, picked up two bronze medals, looked at them for a while, and put them into her pocket.Tianxu shouted: "Junior Sister, please let go...!" Min Rou smiled slightly and said, "I'll keep it on behalf of Senior Brother, and it's the same." Taoist Tianxu saw that the voice could not stop her, so he stretched out his hand to snatch it away.Just at this time, Shi Qing stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables from a bowl of braised eel segments, and his right arm happened to block Tianxu's palm.Chongxu, who was sitting under Mrs. Shi's head, retracted his arms, reached out to grab the bronze medal, and said, "Let me keep it!" Madam Shi raised her left hand, and flicked her four fingers towards his wrist like playing a lute.Chongxu's left hand pointed out, pointing towards Mrs. Shi's right wrist.Mrs. Shi raised her right wrist lightly, her left middle finger popped out, and a gust of wind shot towards Chongxu's chest. Chongxu has been ordered by Taoist Tianxu to take over as the master of Shangqing Temple, that is, the head of their sect of Taoist and lay disciples.He knew that Shi Qing and his wife were in dire need to go to righteousness, and it was a good intention, but Taoist Tianxu had already taken these two bronze medals and Taoist Quanguan's life, if they fell into the hands of others, Taoist Quanguan would die Threatening for his life, he came to fight with Mrs. Shi desperately, and when he saw the opponent's finger pointing at him, he immediately waved his hand to block it. The two of them didn't leave their seats, and they exchanged seven or eight moves in an instant, the two were taught by their master, and all of them used their own grappling techniques, although they didn't intend to hurt each other, they were quick and neat, within a radius of about a foot, they used all their strength fight.The two used to discuss martial arts together when they were classmates, and they have been separated for more than 20 years. Although they have met several times during this period, they have never seen each other make a move.At this moment, they suddenly fought each other, and they all secretly applauded the opponent's superb martial arts.The other 16 people sitting around the three dining tables also watched intently as the two competed, and those who sat further away stood up to watch.These people are all masters in their own school, and they all know that Shi Qing and his wife have gained a very famous name in the world for more than ten years. Seeing her and Chong Xu quietly snatching the bronze medal, they have brought their martial arts to the fullest. Incisively and vividly, all praise.They both knew that Shi Qing and his wife wanted to replace Tianxu to go to the Knights Island, that was an act of benevolence and righteousness, and they all admired it from the bottom of their hearts. In the first dozen or so moves, the two were evenly matched, but Mrs. Shi was holding two bronze medals in her right hand, she could only punch with her right hand, but couldn't hook, hold, flick or grab, so her mastery of grappling was greatly compromised.After several moves, Mrs. Shi's left arm was pushed down by the force of her left hand, and the five fingers of her right hand touched the bronze medal.Mrs. Shi knew that he must be caught this time, if the two of them used their internal energy to snatch each other, firstly it would be indecent, and secondly, since she is a girl, her inner strength might not be as strong as Senior Brother Chongxu, so she let go and let the two go. When the bronze medal fell, it was handed over to her husband. Shi Qing stretched out his hand to take it, when suddenly two gusts of wind rushed towards his face, and it was Taoist Tianxu who pushed out his palms.Although these two gusts of wind do not have the aura of Dao, they are very powerful, if you don't resist, you will be seriously injured, even if you take the bronze medal in your hand, it will fall down, so you have to stretch out your palm to resist it.Just like that, Taoist Zhaoxu, who was sitting under the sky, had already reached out to take the bronze medal. As soon as the bronze medal entered Zhaoxu's hands, Shi Qing, his wife Tianxu and Chongxu laughed at the same time and gave up.Chongxu and Zhaoxu bowed and saluted, and said: "Junior Brother and Junior Sister, don't blame me for offending you." Shi Qing and his wife hurriedly stood up to return the salute.Shi Qing said: "Why did the two senior brothers say this, but the younger brother and his wife are reckless. The senior brother in charge of the sect is so profound, ten times stronger than the younger brother. Although this trip is dangerous, if you want to get out of the body, it is not hopeless." Shi Cai and Tianxu exchanged palms, Shi Qing knew that this senior brother's internal strength was much deeper than his own. Tianxu smiled wryly and said: "I hope to be like my junior brother Jinkou, please, please!" Picking up the wine glass, he drank it down in one gulp. Seeing that Min Rou failed to win the medal, Shi Potian didn't know what the important relationship between the two bronze medals was, he only thought about Mrs. Shi's benefits to him, and thought: "This Taoist priest snatched the bronze medal, and I will grab it later, and give it away." To Madam Shi." I saw Shi Qing stood up and said: "I hope senior brother returns safely from this trip. My little brother's dog was captured by someone, and he is eager to rescue him. It is difficult to talk to all senior brothers and sisters about the old times this time. Let me take my leave." The hearts of all the Taoists trembled.Tianxu asked: "I heard that the son of the virtuous brother is studying under the Xueshan sect, with the prestige of a virtuous couple and the momentum of the Xueshan sect, how could there be some daring and reckless person who kidnaps the son?" Shi Qing sighed, and said: "Speaking of this matter, it will live a long time, most of it is due to the lack of morality of the younger brother, who has lost his discipline, and the dog behaved mischievously, so no one else should be blamed." The fire burned cleanly, but he still knew that the disaster was caused by himself, and he didn't hold any resentment towards the Xueshan faction. Taoist Chongxu said loudly: "Junior Brother and Junior Sister, if the enemy kidnaps your beloved son, he is looking down on Shangqingguan. No matter how old he is, Brother Yu will help you even if he is not good." After a pause, he continued: "Your beloved son fell into the hands of others, but you rushed to the teacher's door, which shows the deep friendship between the brothers. Are we old-fashioned people without heart?" He thought that his opponents were not afraid of Shi Qing and his wife There are so many masters and apprentices of the Snow Mountain School, they must be very powerful people, for the sake of the loyalty of the same sect, the Taoists of the Shangqing should fight against this formidable enemy, who would have thought that it would be the one who captured Shi Qing's son People from the Snow Mountain faction. Shi Qing didn't want to publicize his family's ugliness, and he didn't want Shangqing Guan to make another strong enemy when the disaster was imminent, and make enemies with the Xueshan faction. The matter has not yet been investigated and clarified. After I have a clue, if the younger brother and his wife are alone, they will look back and ask for help, and ask the brothers to help." Chongxu said: "That's it. Brothers and sisters don't need it at that time Come in person, just send me a message, and the Taiqing Temple should be fully viewed." Shi Qing and his wife cupped their hands to express their thanks, but their hearts were sad: "Even if the Xueshan faction cut my son to death, my husband and I have no choice but to accept our fate, and we must not come to Shangqing to ask for a rescuer." The two resigned. , Tianxu, Chongxu, etc. will all be sent out.
When Shi Potian saw the people walking away, he immediately jumped out from behind the plaque, turned over the house, jumped out of the wall, and thought: "The owner of Shizhuang and Mrs. Shi said that their son was taken captive, but they don't know who did it. The bronze medal is just a joke, and it doesn't matter whether you grab it or not. It seems that the friendship between the brothers and sisters is very good, and the bronze medal is probably just for fun. Mrs. Shi treats me very well, and I want to help her find her son. Go and ask her, how old is her son, what does he look like, and who was he taken captive by?" Leaping onto a tree, he saw more than ten lanterns lined up in two rows in the northeast, and the Taoists of Shangqing Temple were sending Shi Qing and his wife away. out of view. Shi Potian thought to himself: "Master Shizhuang and his wife are running very fast on their horses, I'd better catch up with them as soon as possible." Seeing the direction of Shi Qing and his wife, he jumped down from the tree and chased them from the side of the hillside. Before running past the gate of Shangqing Temple, someone shouted: "Who is it? Stop!" When he hid in the plaque, he held his breath and did not make a sound. No one in the hall was aware of this. As soon as he started to run, Shangqing Guanqun's kungfu was very good, he immediately noticed that an outsider was coming, at first he kept his expression on the ground, when Shi Qing and his wife got on their horses and drove away, they split up and intercepted them. In the darkness, Shi Potian suddenly felt the aura of the sword, and the two Taoists held their swords in front of them, the blades reflected the faint light of the stars and the moon, and dimly saw that the person on the left was Zhaoxu.He was overjoyed, and asked: "Is that Taoist Zhaoxu?" Zhaoxu was stunned, and said: "Exactly, who is your Excellency?" Shi Potian stretched out his right hand, and said: "Please give me the bronze medal." Zhaoxu was furious, and shouted: "Here is this for you." He thrust his sword towards his leg.The precepts of Shangqingguan are strict, not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, at this time, the origin of the opponent is unknown, although Shi Potian asked for a bronze medal at the exit, which is a big taboo, but Zhaoxu's sword is still not aimed at the vital point.Shi Potian slanted to avoid it, and grabbed his shoulder with his right hand.Zhaoxu saw that he was agile, and pointed his long sword at his right shoulder.Shi Potian hurriedly lowered his head and walked under the sword, fearing that the blade would cut his head, so he naturally raised his right hand upwards.Zhaoxu only felt a pungent fishy smell, his head became dizzy for a while, and he turned over and fell to the ground immediately. When Shi Potian was stunned, the long sword of the second Taoist pierced through the back of his heart.他知自己掌上大有古怪，一出手便即杀人，再也不敢出掌还击，急忙向前纵出，嗤的一声响，长袍后背已为剑尖划破了一道口子。那道人见照虚被敌人不知用什么邪法迷倒，急于救人，长剑刷刷刷地疾向石破天刺来。 石破天斜身逃开，百忙中拾起照虚抛下的长剑，眼见对方剑法凌厉，当下以剑作刀，使动金乌刀法，当的一声，架开来剑。他手上内力奇劲，这道人手中长剑把捏不住，脱手飞出。但他上清观武功不单以剑法取胜，擒拿手法也是武林中一绝，这道人兵刃脱手，竟丝毫不惧，猱身而上，直扑进石破天怀中，双手成爪，抓向他胸口和小腹要穴。他手中无剑而敌人有剑，就利于近身肉搏，要令敌人兵刃施展不出。 石破天叫道：“使不得！”左手掠过，将那道人推开。这时他内力发动，剧毒涌至掌心，一推之下，那道人应手倒地，缩成了一团。石破天连连顿足，叹道：“唉！我真的不想害你！”耳听得四下里都是呼啸之声，群道渐渐逼近，忙到照虚身上一摸，那两块铜牌尚在怀中。他伸手取过，放入袋里，拔步向石清夫妇的去路急追。 他一口气直追出十余里，始终没听见马蹄之声，寻思：“这两匹马难道跑得当真如此之快，再也追他们不上？又莫非我走错了方向，石庄主和石夫人不是顺着这条大道走？”又奔行数里，猛听得一声马嘶，向声音来处望去，只见一株柳树下系着两匹马，一黑一白，正是石清夫妇的坐骑。 石破天大喜，从袋中取出铜牌，拿在手里，正待张口叫唤，忽听得石清的声音在远处说道：“柔妹，这小贼鬼鬼祟祟地跟着咱们，不怀好意，便将他打发了吧。”石破天吃了一惊：“他们不喜欢我跟来？”虽听到石清话声，但不见二人，生怕石夫人向自己动手，倘若被迫还招，一个不小心又害死了她，那便如何是好？忙缩身伏人长草，只等闵柔赶来，将铜牌掷了给她，转身便逃。 忽听得呼的一声，一条人影疾从左侧大槐树后飞出，手挺长剑，剑尖指着草丛，喝道：“朋友，你跟着我们干什么？快给我出来。”正是闵柔。石破天一个“我”字刚到口边，忽听得草丛中嗤嗤嗤三声连响，有人向闵柔发射暗器。闵柔长剑颤处，刚将暗器拍落，草丛中便跃出一条青衣汉子，挥单刀向闵柔砍去。这一下大出石破天意料之外，万万想不到这草丛中居然伏得有人。但见这汉子身手矫捷，单刀舞得呼呼风响。闵柔随手招架，并不还击。 石清也从槐树后走了出来，长剑悬在腰间，负手旁观，看了几招，说道：“喂，老兄，你是泰山卢十八门下，是不是？”那人喝道：“是便怎样？”手中单刀丝毫不缓。石清笑道：“卢十八跟我们虽没交情，也没梁子，你跟了我们夫妇六七里路，是什么用意？”那汉子道：“没空跟你说……”原来闵柔虽轻描淡写地出招，却已迫得他手忙脚乱。 石清笑道：“卢十八的刀法比我们高明，你却还没学到师父本事的三成，这就撤刀住手了吧！”石清此言一出，闵柔长剑应声刺中他手腕，飘身转到他背后，倒转剑柄撞出，已封住了他穴道。当的一声响，那汉子手中单刀落地，他后心大穴被封，动弹不得了。 石清微笑道：“朋友，你贵姓？”那汉子甚是倔强，恶狠狠地道：“你要杀便杀，多问作甚？”石清笑道：“朋友不说，那也不要紧。你加盟了哪一家帮会，你师父只怕还不知道吧？”那汉子脸上露出诧捽之色，似乎是说：“你怎知道？”石清又道：“在下和尊师卢十八师傅素来没嫌隙，他就真要派人跟踪我夫妇，嘿嘿，不瞒老兄说，尊师总算还瞧得起我们，决不会派你老兄。”言下之意，显是说你武功差得太远，着实不配，你师父不会不知。那汉子一张脸涨成了紫酱色，幸好黑夜之中，旁人也看不到。 石清伸手在他肩头拍了两下，说道：“在下夫妇光明磊落，事事不怕人知，你要知我二人行踪，不妨明白奉告。我们适才从上清观来，探访了观主天虚道长。你回去问你师父，便知石清、闵柔少年时在上清观学艺，天虚道长是我们师哥。现下我们要赴雪山，到凌霄城去拜汸雪山派掌门人威德先生。朋友倘若没别的要问，这就请吧！” 那汉子只觉四肢麻痹已失，显是石清随手这么两拍，已解了他穴道，心下好生佩服，便拱了拱手，说道：“石庄主仁义待人，名不虚传，晚辈冒犯了。”石清道：“好说！”那汉子也不敢拾起在地下的单刀，向石夫人一抱拳，说道：“石夫人，得罪了！”转身便走。石夫人裣衽还礼。 那汉子走出数步，石清忽然问道：“朋友，贵帮石帮主可有下落了吗？”那汉子身子一震，转身道：“你……你……都……都知道了？”石清轻叹一声，说道：“我不知道。没有讯息，是不是？”那汉子摇了摇头，说道：“没讯息。”石清道：“我们夫妇，也正想找他。”三个人相对半晌，那汉子才转身又行。 待那汉子走远，闵柔道：“师哥，他是长乐帮的？”石破天听到“长乐帮”三字，心中又是一震。石清道：“他刚才转身走开，扬起袍襟，我依稀见到袍角上绣有一朵黄花，黑暗中看不清楚，随口一问，居然不错。他……他跟踪我们，原来是为了……为了玉儿，早知如此，也不用难为他了。”闵柔道：“他们……他们帮中对玉儿倒很忠心。”石清道：“玉儿为白万剑擒去，长乐帮矩要四出派人，全力兜截。他们人多势大，耳目众多，想不到仍然音讯全无。”闵柔凄然道：“你怎知仍然……仍然音讯全无？” 石清挽着妻子的手，拉着她并肩坐在柳树之下，温言道：“他们倘若已查到了玉儿的讯息，便不会这般派人到处跟踪江湖人物。这个卢十八的弟子无缘无故地盯着咱们，除了打探他们帮主下落，不会更有别情。” 石清夫妇所坐之处，和石破天藏身的草丛，相距不过两丈。石清说话虽轻，石破天却听得清清楚楚。本来以石清夫妇的武功修为，石破天从远处奔来之时便当发觉，只是当时二人全神留意着一直跟踪在后的那使刀汉子，石破天又内功极高，脚步着地极轻，是以二人打发了那汉子之后，没想到草从中竟另藏得有人。石破天听着二人的言语，什么长乐帮主，什么给白万剑擒去，说的似乎便是自己，但“玉儿”什么的，却又不是自己了。他本来对自己的身世存着满腹疑团，这时躲在草中，倘若出人不意地突然现身，未免十分尴尬，索性便躲着想听个明白。 四野虫声唧唧，清风动树，石清夫妇却不再说话。石破天生怕自己踪迹给二人发现，连大气也不敢喘一口，过了良久，才听得石夫人叹了口气，跟着轻轻啜泣。 只听石清缓缓道：“你我二人行侠江湖，生平没做过亏心之事。这儿年来为了要保玉儿平安，更是竭力多行善举。倘若老天爷真要我二人无后，那也是人力不可胜天。何况像玉儿这样的不肖孩儿，无子胜于有子。咱们算是没生这个孩儿，也就是了。” 闵柔低声道：“玉儿虽从小顽皮淘气，他……他还是我们的心肝宝贝。总是为了坚儿惨死人手，咱们对玉儿特别宠爱了些，才成今日之累，可是……可是我也始终不怨。那日在那小庙之中，我瞧他也决不是坏到了透顶，倘若不是我失手刺了他一剑，也不会……也不会……”说到这里，语音呜咽，自伤自艾，痛不自胜。 石清道：“我一直劝你不必为此自己难受，就算那曰咱们将他救了出来，也难保不再给他们抢去。这件事也真奇怪，雪山派这些人怎么突然间个个不知去向，中原武林之中再也没半点讯息。明曰咱们就动程往凌霄城去，到了那边，好歹也有个水落石出。”闵柔道：“咱们若不找几个得力帮手，怎能到凌霄城这龙潭虎穴之中，将玉儿救出来？”石清叹道：“救人之事，谈何容易？倘若不在中途截劫，玉儿一到凌霄城，那是羊人虎口，再难生还了。” 闵柔不语，取帕拭泪，过了一会，说道：“师哥，咱们便请上清观的师兄弟们拔剑相助吧！我看此事也不会全是玉儿的过错。你看玉儿的雪山剑法如此生疏，雪山派定是没好好传他武功，玉儿又是个心高气傲、要强好胜之人，定是和不少人结下了怨。这些年中，可将他折磨得苦了。”说着声音又有些呜咽。 石清道：“天虚师兄已接了赏善罚恶铜牌，在这当口，我们又怎忍说得出'求助'两字？都是我打算错了，对你实在好生抱憾。当日我一力主张送他赴雪山派学艺，你虽不说什么，我知你心中实在万分舍不得。想不到风火神龙封万里如此响当当的男儿，跟咱夫妇又这般交情，竟会亏待玉儿。” 闵柔道：“这事又怎怪得你？你送玉儿上凌
