Chapter 8 Chapter Seven
After Duan Zhengchun and others sent off the royal driver respectfully, Gao Shengtai bid farewell, Chu Wanli and the other four major guards were not responsible for keeping watch at the palace, so they also bid farewell and returned home.Duan Zhengchun thought Gao Shengtai was injured, so he didn't hold a banquet, so he went back to the Nuan Pavilion in the inner hall to hold a banquet.Apart from Duan Zhengchun, his wife and Duan Yu, there was only Mu Wanqing alone at the banquet, and there were seventeen or eight servants waiting on the side.In Mu Wanqing's life, how had she seen such a scene of prosperity and wealth?Every dish is unheard of, never tasted.She saw that Zhennan Wang and his wife regarded themselves as family members, as if they were two generations of couples sharing a feast together, and she was secretly delighted.
Duan Yu saw that his mother was still indifferent to his father, she neither drank alcohol nor ate meat, and only picked some vegetarian dishes to eat, so he poured a glass of wine, stood up with both hands in his hands, and said: "Mom, my son respects you." Congratulations on your reunion with Daddy, the three of us will enjoy family happiness." Yuxu said: "I don't drink alcohol." Duan Yu poured another cup, winked at Mu Wanqing, and said, "Ms. Mu also respects you." You have a drink." Mu Wanqing stood up holding the wine glass.
Yuxu Sanxin thought that he would be too indifferent to Mu Wanqing, so he smiled slightly and said, "Girl, I am very naughty, my parents can't take care of him, from now on you have to help me take care of him." Wanqing said: "If he is disobedient, I will beat him with my ears closed!" Yuxu Sanren sneered and looked at her husband sideways.Duan Zhengchun smiled and said: "It should be like this!"
Yuxu Sanren stretched out his left hand to catch the wine glass in Mu Wanqing's hand.Under the candlelight, Mu Wanqing saw her slender, slender hands, as crystal clear as jade, and a scar as red as blood on the back of her hand near her wrist. She couldn't help but tremble all over her body, and said in a trembling voice, "You...your name...can be called Dao Baifeng?" Yuxu Sanren laughed and said, "My surname is very strange, how do you know?" Mu Wanqing asked tremblingly, "You...you are Dao Baifeng? Soft whip, isn't it?" Yuxu Sanren saw that her expression was different, but he still didn't suspect him, and smiled: "Yu'er treats you so well, even told you my boudoir name. Your lord Half of them are Baiyi people (note: "Baiyi" used to have a poor name, now it has been renamed "Bai nationality"), no wonder he is so wild." Mu Wanqing said: "Are you really Dao Baifeng?" Yuxu Sanren smiled Said: "Yes!"
Mu Wanqing shouted: "Master's kindness is so great, and the master's order is hard to disobey!" Her right hand raised sharply, and two poisonous arrows shot towards Dao Baifeng's chest.
During the banquet, the four talked and laughed at Yan Yan, they were as close as family members, how could they have expected that Mu Wanqing would suddenly attack?Dao Baifeng's martial arts were originally slightly stronger than Mu Wanqing's, but at this moment the two of them were very close to each other, and they became tense again, caught off guard, seeing that the two poisonous arrows were bound to hit.Duan Zhengchun sat at the opposite table, behind Mu Wanqing, shouted "Ah yo", stretched out his finger urgently, but this finger could only restrain Mu Wanqing, but could not save his wife.
Duan Yu had seen Mu Wanqing flying arrows to kill several times while talking, the poison on her arrow was very powerful, and the blood was sealed on her throat, when she saw her waving her sleeves, she knew something was wrong, he stood beside his mother , Suffering from not knowing martial arts, unable to block on his behalf, he immediately used "Lingbo Weibu", pierced diagonally, and blocked his mother's body, with two bangs, two poisonous arrows hit his chest.At the same time, Mu Wanqing's back went numb, and she fell on the table, unable to move anymore.
Duan Zhengchun responded with extraordinary speed, and flew out with his fingers, touching the eight acupoints around Duan Yu's arrow, making the poisonous blood unable to return to his heart for a while, he hooked it out with his backhand, and with a click, the joint of Mu Wanqing's right arm was removed, making her Can no longer shoot poisonous arrows, then slapped her acupuncture points and said sharply: "Get the antidote!"
Mu Wanqing tremblingly said: "I...I just want to kill Baifeng, not Duan Lang." Resisting the severe pain in her right arm, her left hand hurriedly took out two small wooden boxes from her bosom, and said anxiously: "Yellow is taken internally. White external application, quick, quick! It’s too late. Ahhh...it’s really bad!"
Seeing that her concern for Duan Yu was genuine, Dao Baifeng already roughly guessed the reason.He snatched the small wooden box with his hands and opened it, ignored the red rouge paste, took a pinch of yellow powder and fed it into his son's mouth, then gave him a few mouthfuls of water for him to swallow, then grabbed the arrow tails, and gently pulled out two short arrows, Apply white powder to the wound.Mu Wanqing was very panicked, and said: "Thank God, he... his life is safe, otherwise I... I..."
The three of them were extremely anxious, but they didn't know that after Duan Yu swallowed the "Mang Gu Zhu Clam", the king of all poisons, his blood had deteriorated, and the poisons were no longer invading.The poison on Mu Wanqing's arrow did not harm him at all, even if he did not take the antidote, it would still be fine.But after he was hit by the arrow, his chest was in severe pain, the person who was hit by the poisonous arrow died instantly, he had seen it many times, he only knew that he must die this time, he was frightened and passed out in his mother's arms.
Duan Zhengchun and his wife stared at the wound intently, seeing that the blood that flowed out instantly turned from black to purple, and from purple to red, they let out a sigh of relief at the same time, knowing that their son's life had been saved.
Dao Baifeng picked up her son, sent him to his bedroom, covered him with a quilt, and took his pulse again, only to feel that the pulse was even and strong, without any sign of weakness. He was relieved, but couldn't help being surprised, and returned to the Nuan Pavilion .
Duan Zhengchun asked: "Is it okay?" Dao Baifeng didn't answer, and said to Mu Wanqing: "Go and tell Shura Dao Qin Hongmian..." Duan Zhengchun's expression changed when he heard the words "Sura Dao Qin Hongmian". After a change, he said: "You...you..." Dao Baifeng ignored her husband, and still said to Mu Wanqing: "Tell her that you want my life, even if you want it openly. Isn't this kind of ghost trick called People smiled?" Mu Wanqing said: "I don't know who Shura Dao Qin Hongmian is!" Dao Baifeng wondered: "Then who told you to kill me?"
Mu Wanqing said: "It's my master. My master asked me to kill two people. The first one is you. She said that you have a red mark on your hand. Your name is Dao Baifeng. You are a barbarian girl with a very beautiful appearance. Use a soft whip as a weapon. She didn't...didn't say that you were dressed as a Taoist nun. I saw that the weapon you used was Fuchen, also known as Yuxu Sanren. I never thought that it was the master who wanted to kill... the person who was going to kill, let alone I didn't expect you to be Duan Lang's mother..." At this point, tears rolled down my face.
Dao Baifeng said: "The second person your master told you to kill is 'Qiaoyaocha' Gan Baobao?" Mu Wanqing said: "No, no! 'Qiaoyaocha' Gan Baobao is my uncle. She asked someone to deliver a letter to me Master, it is said that two women have harmed my master's life, this great revenge must be avenged..." Dao Baifeng said: "Ah, yes. The other woman is surnamed Wang and lives in Suzhou, right?" Mu Wanqing Qi said: "Yes! How do you know? Master and I went to Suzhou to kill her first. This bad woman has so many slaves and lives in a strange place. I didn't see her face, but her slaves chased her all the way to her. Come Dali."
Duan Zhengchun listened with his head down, his face turned blue and red.
Tears rolled down Dao Baifeng's cheeks suddenly, and he said to Duan Zhengchun, "I hope you discipline Yu'er well. I... I'm going." Duan Zhengchun said, "Fenghuang'er, that's all in the past, why don't you let it go?" On your mind?" Dao Baifeng said faintly, "You don't care about it, but I care about it, and everyone else cares about it!" Suddenly she flew up and jumped out of the window.
Duan Zhengchun stretched out his hand to pull her sleeve, Dao Baifeng swung his hand back and hit her in the face.Duan Zhengchun turned his head to avoid it, and with a snort, he pulled down half of her sleeve.Dao Baifeng turned his head and said angrily: "Are you really going to use force?" Duan Zhengchun said: "Fenghuang, you..." Dao Baifeng kicked his feet and jumped onto the opposite room. outside.
Chu Wanli's voice shouted from a distance: "Who is it?" Dao Baifeng said: "It's me." Chu Wanli said: "Ah, it's the princess..." It turned out that after Gao Shengtai, Chu Wanli and others bid farewell, they found the enemy on the way back , It seems to be a sneak attack on Zhennan Wangfu, so he turned back again and defended secretly.
Duan Zhengchun stood quietly for a while, sighed, and went back into the Nuan Pavilion, seeing Mu Wanqing's face was pale, but he did not run away.Duan Zhengchun approached, grabbed her right arm with both hands, and with a click, connected the joint to her.Mu Wanqing thought to herself: "I shot his wife with a poisonous arrow, I don't know how he will torture me?" But seeing him slumped in the chair, he poured a glass of wine slowly, drank it dry with a gurgling sound, and looked at his wife. Jumping out of the window, he was dazed in a daze, and after a while, he poured another glass of wine slowly, and drank it dry again with a gulp.In this way, he poured himself and drank twelve or three cups in a row. When one pot was dry, he poured wine from another pot, pouring very slowly, but drinking very quickly.
Mu Wanqing finally became impatient, and shouted: "If you want to find some weird way to punish me, do it quickly!"
Duan Zhengchun raised his head and stared at her unblinkingly. After a long time, he slowly shook his head and sighed: "It's really like, really like! I should have seen it earlier, such an appearance, such a temper... ..."
Mu Wanqing was confused when she heard that, and asked, "What are you talking about? You're talking nonsense."
Duan Zhengchun didn't answer, stood up, suddenly slashed his left palm backwards, there was a soft swish sound, a red candle behind him went out with the wind of his palm, followed by his right palm slashed back, another red candle suddenly went out.With five palms in a row, five red candles were extinguished, his eyes were always forward, but the palms were like flowing clouds and flowing water, extremely chic.
Mu Wanqing was shocked and said: "This... this is the 'Wuluo Light Smoke Palm', how can you know it?" Duan Zhengchun smiled bitterly: "Your master taught you, right?" Mu Wanqing said: "My master said, this She will never pass on palm palm technique, and she will bring it into the coffin in the future." Duan Zhengchun said: "Well, she said that she will never pass it on to others, and she will bring it into the soil in the future?" Mu Wanqing said: "Yes! But the master should be When I'm not in front of me, I often practice alone, but I watch it more in secret." Duan Zhengchun said: "She often uses this palm technique alone?" Mu Wanqing nodded and said: "Yes. Master practiced this set every time If you don't grasp the palm technique, you will shed tears, and lose your temper and scold me indiscriminately. You... how can you do it? It seems that you are better than my master."
Duan Zhengchun sighed, and said: "I taught your master this 'Five Luo Light Smoke Palm'."
Mu Wanqing was taken aback, but she couldn't believe it.She saw that when her master split the red candle with his palm, he would not extinguish it with one palm, and he would start to perform the kung fu at the second and third palms, she is definitely not as free as Duan Zhengchun, who can do whatever he wants.Stuttering: "Then you are my master's master, my great master?"
Duan Zhengchun shook his head and said: "No!" Supporting his chest with his hand, he said softly to himself: "Every time she practiced the palm technique, she would shed tears and lose her temper. Go into the coffin..." Mu Wanqing asked again: "Then you..." Duan Zhengchun shook his hand, telling her not to ask more questions, but after a while, he suddenly asked: "You are eighteen years old, and your birthday is in September , isn’t it?” Mu Wanqing jumped up and said in surprise, “You know everything about me, but who are you, my master?”
Duan Zhengchun's face was full of pain, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I...I'm sorry for your master. Wan'er, you..." Mu Wanqing said, "Why? I see that you are very kind and nice. Duan Zhengchun said: "Didn't she tell you your master's name?" Mu Wanqing said: "My master said she was called 'Yougu Ke'. I don't know what her last name is or what her name is." Duan Zhengchun murmured: "The guest of the valley, the guest of the valley..." Suddenly he remembered Du Fu's poem "Beautiful Lady", and every word of the poem seemed to hurt his heart: "There are beauties in the past, who live in seclusion in the empty valley. .From Yunliang’s family, scattered among the grass and trees...The husband-in-law is frivolous, the newcomer is as beautiful as jade...But when the newcomer smiles, how can I hear the old one cry..." I couldn't help but my eyes turned red.
After a while, he asked again: "How did your master live all these years? Where do you live?" Mu Wanqing said, "My master and I live in a valley behind a high mountain. We just came out together last time." Duan Zhengchun said: "Who are your parents? Didn't your master tell you?" Mu Wanqing said: "My master said that I am an orphan who was abandoned by my parents. Master picked me up from the side of the road and brought me up." Duan Zhengchun said: "Do you hate your parents?" Mu Wanqing tilted her head and gently bit the little finger of her left hand.
Duan Zhengchun couldn't help feeling sad when he saw such a scene.Seeing his two tears streaming down his cheeks, Mu Wanqing couldn't help being very surprised, and asked, "Why are you crying?" Duan Zhengchun turned his face away, wiped away his tears, and said with a forced smile, "Why did I cry? ? Drank a few more glasses, and the smell of alcohol rose." Mu Wanqing didn't believe it, and said, "I saw you cry. Women cry, can men cry too? I have never seen a man cry, unless it is a child .”
Seeing that she didn't understand the world, Duan Zhengchun was even more sad, and said: "Wan'er, I will treat you well in the future, so that I can make up for some of my mistakes. If you have any wishes, tell me, and I will try my best to make them come true for you."
After Mu Wanqing shot Madam Duan with an arrow, she was very worried. Hearing what he said, she said joyfully, "I shot your Madam with an arrow, don't you blame me? Fortunately, she didn't hurt." Duan Zhengchun said: "As you said , "Master's kindness is deep, and the teacher's order is hard to violate." The affairs of the previous generation have nothing to do with you. I don't blame you. It's just that you can't be rude to my wife in the future." Mu Wanqing said: "In the future, when the master asks, What should I do then?"
Duan Zhengchun said: "Take me to see your master, and I will tell her personally." Mu Wanqing clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay!" Then she frowned and said, "My master often said that all men in the world have small hearts, and she never No man."
A strange look flashed across Duan Zhengchun's face, and he asked, "Your master has never seen a man?" Mu Wanqing said, "That's right, when master buys rice and salt, he asks Grandma Liang to buy them. Once Grandma Liang was ill, Asked her son to buy it on her behalf. The master was very angry and told him to put it far away from the door and not allow him to bring it into the house."
Duan Zhengchun sighed: "Hong Mian, Hong Mian, why do you have to suffer so much?"
Mu Wanqing said: "You said 'Hong Mian' again, who is 'Hong Mian'?" Duan Zhengchun hesitated slightly, and said: "This matter cannot be kept from you forever, your master's real name is Qin Hong Mian, her nickname is Shura Dao." Mu Wanqing nodded and said: "Well, no wonder your wife asked me viciously when she saw the way I shot short arrows, who is the 'Sura Dao Qin Hongmian'. Then I really didn't know at the time, and I didn't intend to lie. It turns out that my master's name is Qin Hongmian, which is a beautiful name, I don't know why she didn't tell me."
Duan Zhengchun said: "I hurt your arm just now, does it still hurt now?" Seeing his gentle and kind expression, Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "It's much better. Let's go and see... look at your son, okay? Okay? I'm afraid that the poison on the arrow won't go away for a while." Duan Zhengchun said: "Okay!" Standing up, he said again: "What wish do you have, tell me!"
Mu Wanqing's face was flushed suddenly, her face was quite coy, she lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'll shoot your wife, she...she annoys me." Duan Zhengchun said: "Let's beg her slowly. I hope she will not be annoyed in the future." Mu Wanqing said: "I didn't ask for help, but for Duan Lang, it doesn't matter if I beg her." Suddenly she mustered up her courage and said: "King Zhennan, I said I have fulfilled my wish, are you really...really sure to do it for me?"
Duan Zhengchun said: "As long as I do my best, I will definitely make your wish come true." Mu Wanqing said: "You can't rely on what you said." Duan Zhengchun smiled, walked to her side, stretched out his hand gently Gently stroking her hair, with loving eyes, she said: "Of course I'm not bad." Mu Wanqing said: "You have to make up our minds about my marriage with him, and don't allow him to be unkind!" refreshed.
Duan Zhengchun's complexion changed drastically, he slowly backed away, and sat down in the chair, without saying a word for a long, long time.Mu Wanqing felt that the situation was wrong, and said in a trembling voice: "You...don't you agree?" Duan Zhengchun said: "You definitely can't marry Yu'er." His voice was rough, but his tone was very certain.Mu Wanqing's heart was cold, and she said sadly: "Why? He...he promised me with his own mouth." Duan Zhengchun only said: "Injustice, injustice!" Mu Wanqing said: "If he doesn't want me, I...I will kill him He, and then committed suicide. I... I swore an oath in front of Master." Duan Zhengchun slowly shook his head, and said, "Impossible!" Mu Wanqing said anxiously, "I'll ask him, why not?"
Duan Zhengchun said: "Yu'er...he himself...doesn't know." Seeing Mu Wanqing's miserable expression, he was just like Qin Hongmian eighteen years ago when he heard the bad news, his heart was bitter and he couldn't bear it anymore. , blurted out: "You can't marry Yu'er, and you can't kill him." Mu Wanqing said: "Why?" Duan Zhengchun said: "Because...because...because Duan Yu is your real brother!"
Mu Wanqing's eyes were wide open, she hardly believed her ears, and said tremblingly, "What... what? You said Duan Lang is my elder brother?" Duan Zhengchun said, "Wan'er, do you know that your master is you?" Who? She is your mother. I... I am your father. "
Mu Wanqing was frightened and angry at the same time, her face was drained of color, she stamped her feet and shouted: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I...I don't want it!"
Suddenly there was a long sigh outside the window, and a woman's voice said: "Wan'er, let's go home!" Mu Wanqing turned around abruptly, and shouted: "Master!" The window opened with a bang, and a middle-aged woman stood outside the window. , pointed face, slender eyebrows, very beautiful, with three points of stubbornness and three points of fierceness in his eyes.
When Duan Zhengchun saw the sudden appearance of his former lover Qin Hongmian, he was surprised and liked at the same time, and shouted: "Hongmian, Hongmian, these past few years, I...I miss you so much!"
Qin Hongmian shouted: "Wan'er come out! You can't stay in this home of a heartless person for a moment."
Seeing the expressions of Master and Duan Zhengchun, Mu Wanqing felt even colder in her heart, and said, "Master, he...he lied to me, saying that you are my mother, and that he is me...my father." Qin Hongmian Said: "Your mother died long ago, and your father also died long ago."
Duan Zhengchun snatched the window, and said softly: "Hongmian, come in, let me watch you for a while. Don't leave from now on, we will stay together forever." Qin Hongmian's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said happily: "You Is it true that we will stay together forever?" Duan Zhengchun said: "Really! Hong Mian, I miss you every day." Qin Hongmian said: "Are you willing to kill Bai Feng?" Duan Zhengchun He hesitated to answer, with a troubled look on his face.Qin Hongmian said: "If you feel sorry for our daughter, then you will go with me, never think of Dao Baifeng again, and never come back."
Mu Wanqing listened to the conversation between the two of them, her heart couldn't stop sinking, sinking, her eyes filled with tears, she could see that the faces of Master and Duan Zhengchun were blurred.She knew that these two people were really her biological parents, and she would not be able to believe it.In the past few days, Duan Lang, who has been deeply in love and has been haunted by dreams, turned out to be his half-brother.
Duan Zhengchun said softly: "It's just that I am the King of Zhennan in Dali Kingdom. I am in charge of civil and military secrets. I have heavy official duties. I can't leave for a day..." Qin Hongmian said sharply: "Eighteen years ago you said that, Eighteen years later, you still say that. Duan Zhengchun, Duan Zhengchun, you heartless fellow, I...I hate you so much..."
Suddenly, there were three high-fives on the east roof, and someone on the west roof responded with high-fives.Following the voices of Chu Wanli and Gu Ducheng, he shouted at the same time: "There are assassins! All brothers stay in their positions and don't move rashly."
Qin Hongmian shouted: "Wan'er, are you still not coming out?"
Mu Wanqing replied: "Yes!" She jumped out of the window and fell into the arms of this loving mother who is also a benefactor.
Duan Zhengchun said: "Hong Mian, are you really going to leave me just now?" It was very miserable.
Qin Hongmian's voice suddenly turned soft, and she said: "Brother Chun, you have been a prince for decades, and you should have done enough. You can go with me! From now on, I will be obedient to you and never dare to scold you again. In a word, I will give you half a blow. Don't you feel sorry for such a lovely daughter?" Duan Zhengchun's heart moved, and he blurted out, "Okay, I'll go with you!" Qin Hongmian was overjoyed, and stretched out her right hand , wait for him to hold it.
A woman's voice behind said coldly: "Senior sister, you...you fell for him again. He coaxed you for a few days, but he came back to be his prince again." Duan Zhengchun's heart shook, and he shouted: " Baby, it's you! You're here too."
Mu Wanqing turned her head to the side, and saw that the woman who spoke was wearing a green silk shirt, she was Wan Jie Gu Zhong's wife, her uncle "Qiaoyaocha" Gan Baobao.There are four people standing behind her, one is Ye Erniang, one is Yun Zhonghe, the third is South Sea Crocodile God who has gone and returned, and what surprised her even more is the fourth person, which is Duan Yu.But the South Sea Crocodile God's big hand was clasped around his neck, and it seemed that it could crack his neck at any moment.Mu Wanqing called out: "Duan Lang, what's the matter with you?"
Duan Yu was recuperating on the bed, and in a daze, God Crocodile of the South China Sea jumped into the room and carried him out.He hadn't been poisoned in the first place, Mu Wanqing's poisonous arrow was powerful because the poison was not in the arrow, the small arrow wound was insignificant, when he was shocked, his mind immediately became clear.He heard the conversation between his father and Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian outside the window of the Nuan Pavilion. Although he didn't hear everything, he could figure it out.Hearing that Mu Wanqing still called himself "Duan Lang", he felt sore, and said, "Sister, from now on we brothers and sisters will love each other, then...that will be the same."
Mu Wanqing said angrily: "No, it's different. You are the first man to see my face." But thinking that he and he were both born of Duan Zhengchun, brother and sister would not be able to get married after all.If someone in the world obstructs her marriage, you can shoot him with one arrow, but now it is God's will somewhere in the middle, no matter how high your martial arts or power is, it will be irreversible.All of a sudden, he felt all hope was lost, his feet stopped, and he rushed out.
Qin Hongmian called out anxiously, "Wan'er, where are you going?"
Mu Wanqing didn't even pay attention to her master, and said: "You hurt me, I ignore you." She ran even faster.
A guard in the palace stretched out his arms to stop him, and asked, "Who is it?" Mu Wanqing shot out a poisonous arrow, hitting the guard's throat.She didn't stop at all, and fell into the darkness in an instant.
Duan Zhengchun saw that his son was captured by the Crocodile God of the South Sea, he didn't care where his daughter was, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at the God of Crocodile of the South Sea.Ye Erniang flicked her palm to cut his wrist veins, Duan Zhengchun hooked backhand, Ye Erniang smiled coquettishly, and flicked her middle finger to the back of his hand.In an instant, the two exchanged three moves, and Duan Zhengchun was secretly startled: "This woman is so amazing!" Qin Hongmian stretched out her hand to press the top of Duan Yu's head, and shouted: "Do you want your son's life?" Duan Zhengchun stopped in shock, knowing that she has always had a bad temper, and has always hated his first wife, Dao Baifeng. Spit out the force of the palm and hurt Duan Yu's life. He said anxiously: "Hong Mian, my child was hit by your daughter's poisonous arrow, and the injury is not serious!" Take it away. See if you want to be a prince or a son." South Sea Crocodile God laughed loudly and said, "This kid must take me as his teacher after all." Duan Zhengchun said: "Hong Mian, I promise everything , you... you let my child go!" Qin Hongmian's affection for Duan Zhengchun did not fade in the slightest because of the lapse of eighteen years. Today, when they reunited, they only became more affectionate. Hearing what he said so urgently, she immediately softened her heart and said, "You really...really Agree to everything?" Duan Zhengchun said: "Yes, yes!" Mrs. Zhong interrupted: "Sister, can you trust the words of this heartless man? Mr. Yue Er, let's go!" South Sea Crocodile stood up, hugged Duan Yu and turned around in mid-air, and landed on the opposite house.Following two bangs, Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe knocked down the two palace guards to the ground respectively. Mrs. Zhong called out: "Duan Zhengchun, shall we fight tonight?" Although Duan Zhengchun knew that if he gathered the manpower in the palace and fought hard, he might not be able to intercept these people, but his son fell into the opponent's hands, he had scruples, and it is difficult to win by force, not to mention that the pair of teachers and sisters in front of him are all loved by him from the bottom of his heart. , I used to love them so much that they were fascinated, and they were dying, and said softly: "Baby, you... are you here to make things difficult for me?" Mrs. Zhong said: "I am Zhong Wanchou's wife, why are you yelling nonsense?" Duan Zhengchun said: "Baby, I have been missing you all the time these days!" Mrs. Zhong's eyes turned red, and said: "After knowing that Mr. Duan is your child that day, I felt...so sad... "The voice also softened.Qin Hongmian shouted: "Junior Sister, do you want to be fooled by him too?" Mrs. Zhong took Qin Hongmian's hand, hardened her heart, and shouted: "Okay, let's go." Turning around, she said: "You have the knife The head of that bastard Baifeng, step by step, worships the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, and we may return your son." Duan Zhengchun said: "Valley of Myriad Tribulations!" Seeing that God Crocodile of the South China Sea was running farther and farther with Duan Yu in his arms, Gao Shengtai, Chu Wanli and others were intercepting him from all sides.Duan Zhengchun sighed, and shouted: "Brother Gao Xian, let them go." Gao Shengtai shouted: "Little prince..." Duan Zhengchun said: "Think slowly." As he spoke, he flew in front of Gao Shengtai and shouted: "The assassin has retreated, everyone returned to their original positions." With a flick of his body, he bullied Mrs. Zhong, and softly Said: "Baby, how have you been these past few years?" Mrs. Zhong said: "What's wrong?" Duan Zhengchun stretched out his finger with his backhand, silently, and hit the "Zhangmen acupoint" on her waist.Mrs. Zhong was caught off guard and collapsed immediately.Duan Zhengchun stretched out his left hand to embrace her, feigning panic, and shouted, "Ah! Baby, what... what's wrong?" Qin Hongmian didn't expect to be deceived, she ran over and asked: "Junior Sister, what's the matter?" Duan Zhengchun pointed out with "Yiyang Finger", which also hit the "Zhangmen Point" on her waist. Qin Hongmian and Mrs. Zhong were hit on their acupoints, and Duan Zhengchun hugged each other. The two glared at him bitterly, thinking: "I fell for him again. Why am I so stupid? In this life After being so fooled by him, today's incident is imminent, and my heart is confused again, and I still don't know how to guard against it." Duan Zhengchun said: "Brother Gao Xian, your internal injury has not healed, go in and rest quickly! Wanli, you lead the people and guard around." Gao Shengtai and Chu Wanli bowed and agreed. Duan Zhengchun was reunited with two old lovers for the first time, and his wife happened to be absent, so he was in a perfect place, he brought his two daughters back to the Nuan Pavilion, and ordered the cook and maidservant to hold the banquet again, and serve the dishes again. After everyone retreated, Duan Zhengchun tapped the two acupoints "Huantiao" and "Ququan" on the second daughter's legs to make them unable to walk, and then patted the "Zhangmen acupoint" on the waist of the second daughter with a smile.Qin Hongmian yelled: "Duan Zhengchun, you...you are still here to bully people..." Duan Zhengchun turned around, bowed to the two of them on the ground, and said, "I have offended you so much, I will apologize first!" Qin Hong Mian said angrily, "Who wants you to apologize? Let us go." Duan Zhengchun said: "The three of us haven't seen each other for more than ten years. It's rare to meet again today. We have a thousand words to say. Hong Mian, you are still so impatient. Baby, the longer you grow, the more delicate you seem. We were younger when we were together." Before Mrs. Zhong could answer, Qin Hongmian said angrily, "Let me go! My junior sister grows more and more beautiful, and I grow uglier and weirder. What's the use of looking at me as an ugly old woman Duan Zhengchun sighed: "Hong Mian, you look in the mirror, if you are an ugly old woman, when those who write articles describe a peerless beauty, they will say: 'The face of a fish falling into a wild goose, the appearance of an ugly old woman' gone." Qin Hongmian couldn't help sneering, and was about to stamp her feet, but her legs and feet were paralyzed and she couldn't move, she said angrily, "Who is going to joke with you now? What kind of lord do you look like, a playful hozen?" Under the candlelight, When Duan Zhengchun saw her frowning and angry expression, and recalled the night of making love in the past, his heart skipped a beat, and he walked up to her and kissed her cheek.Qin Hongmian's upper body was able to move, and with a slap with her left hand, she slapped him crisply and loudly.If Duan Zhengchun wanted to dodge the block, it would not be difficult, but he intentionally slapped her, and whispered in her ear: "If you die under the sword of Shura, even a ghost will be flirtatious!" Qin Hongmian's whole body trembled, tears streaming down her cheeks, she burst into tears, and cried, "You...you are talking about these rumors again." It turned out that Qin Hongmian used a pair of Shura knives to cross the rivers and lakes, so his nickname was "Asura Saber", on the night when he lost his virginity to Duan Zhengchun, he kissed him on the cheek and slapped him across the face. Duan Zhengchun said those two words back then.In the past eighteen years, the ten words of "Asura dies under the sword, even being a ghost" have lingered tens of thousands of times in her heart and ears.At this moment, he suddenly heard him say it himself.Really happy and angry, sweet and bitter, full of feelings. Mrs. Zhong said in a low voice: "Sister, this guy can talk sweetly and please people. Don't believe his words anymore." Qin Hongmian said: "Yes, yes! I will never believe your nonsense anymore." These words But he said it to Duan Zhengchun. Duan Zhengchun walked up to Mrs. Zhong, and said with a smile, "Baby, I'll smell your face too, okay?" Mrs. Zhong said solemnly, "I'm a married woman. As long as you touch me, I will bite off my tongue and die in front of you." Seeing her serious expression, Duan Zhengchun didn't dare to blaspheme, and asked, "Baby, what kind of husband did you marry?" Mrs. Zhong said, "My husband looks ugly, has a weird temper, and his martial arts are not as good as yours. He is not as talented as you, let alone your wealth and splendor. But he treats me wholeheartedly, and there is no second woman. I also treat him wholeheartedly. If I feel sorry for him, I will kill Baby Gan, and I will never be reborn. Let me tell you, the place where I live with him is called 'Valley of Myriad Tribulations', and that name comes from my poisonous oath." Duan Zhengchun couldn't help being awed, and he didn't dare to mention his old friendship again.Although he didn't mention it in his mouth, but seeing Baobao Gan's fair and tender face as before, and his slightly pursed lips as cherry red as before, how could he forget his past friendship?Hearing that she was so kind to her husband in her words, she couldn't help but feel intensely sad, with tears rolling in her eyes, she sighed a long time, and said, "Baby, I'm not lucky, I can't let you treat me like this. Originally...it was me Knowing you first, alas, it’s all my own fault!” Mrs. Zhong's eyes turned red again when she heard that his tone was desolate and sincere, and that he was not just trying to deceive people with empty words. The three of them faced each other silently, they all recalled the old things, their brows were filled with happiness and sorrow. After a long time, Duan Zhengchun said softly: "You kidnapped my child, but for what? Baby, where is your Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations?" Suddenly a hoarse voice outside the window said: "Don't tell him!" Duan Zhengchun was taken aback, thinking: "There are Chu Wanli and a group of people guarding outside, why did someone quietly bully you?" Madam's complexion darkened, and said: "Are you injured, why are you here?" Following a woman's voice, she said: "Mr. Zhong, please come in!" Duan Zhengchun was even more surprised, and couldn't help but blush. The curtain of the Nuan Pavilion was lifted, and Dao Baifeng walked in, with a look of anger on his face, followed by an extremely ugly man with a long face like a horse.
It turned out that Qin Hongmian failed to go to Gusu to assassinate, and instead separated from her beloved daughter. According to the agreement, she came to Dali in the south to meet her junior sister.Grandma Rui and Grandma Ping sent by the royal family of Gusu pursued Mu Wanqing with all their strength. Qin Hongmian was eight or nine days behind, and the journey was safe and sound.When they came to the Valley of Myriad Tribulations and asked the reason, they went out to visit with Mrs. Zhong. On the way, they encountered the "three evils" Ye Erniang, South Sea Crocodile God and Yun Zhonghe.The "three evils" were Zhong Wanchou's helper who was invited to make things difficult for Duan Zhengchun, so he told Madam Zhong about the incident.Naturally, the God of Crocodile of the South China Sea did not talk about the scandal of being involved in Duan Yu's sect.Qin Hongmian heard that Mu Wanqing was trapped in the Southern Palace of Dali Town, so she immediately came with her. Zhong Wanchou loved his wife more than his life, and he was very jealous. Since she left, he was restless and restless, and he didn't care about the unhealed wound, so he followed her in the middle of the night.Outside Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Dao Baifeng happened to come out angrily, with no place to vent his grievances, the two of them had a disagreement, and immediately fought.When the fight was in full swing, Dao Baifeng gradually felt overwhelmed, suddenly a figure in black passed by, covering his face and sobbing, but it was Mu Wanqing.The two greeted each other in unison, but Mu Wanqing ignored them and left. Zhong Wanchou shouted: "It's important for me to find my wife, I don't have time to fight with you." Dao Baifeng said: "Where are you going to find a wife?" Zhong Wanchou said: "Go to Duan Zhengchun's house. My wife saw you Duan Zhengchun, the big thing is not good." Dao Baifeng asked: "Why is the big thing not good?" Zhong Wanchou said: "Duan Zhengchun is a sweet talker, he is the best at seducing women, I must kill him." Dao Baifeng thought to himself: "Zhengchun is in his forties and has a big beard. He is still a 'little boy'? But he is romantic, so you have to guard against the words of this horse-faced man." When asked about the origin of his and his wife's names, it turned out that His wife is Baby Gan.She knew that "Pretty Yaocha" Gan Baobao was one of her husband's former lovers, and her jealousy became even stronger, and she immediately accompanied Zhong Wanchou to the palace. Although the surrounding area of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded, the guards saw that it was the princess and would not stop them, so the two of them bullied them under the Nuan Pavilion, and no one raised their voices to warn.Duan Zhengchun's gossiping and flirting with Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao, the two people outside the window heard each other, and Dao Baifeng's chest exploded in anger.Zhong Wanchou was overjoyed when he heard his wife defend herself with courtesy. Zhong Wanchou ran to his wife, loving and happy, and walked around her, constantly saying, "Thank you, baby, you have treated me so well. If he dares to bully you, I will fight him desperately." It took a long while before he realized that his wife's acupoints were being touched, and turned to Duan Zhengchun and said, "Quickly, quickly untie my wife's acupoints." Duan Zhengchun said, "My son was taken away by you, go back and release him My son, I will naturally save Mrs. Madam." 钟万仇伸手在妻子腰间胁下又捏又拍，虽然他内功甚强，但段家“一阳指”手法天下独一无二，旁人无所措手，只累得他满额青筋暴起，钟夫人被他拍捏得又痛又痒，腿上穴道却未解开半分。钟夫人嗔道：“傻瓜，别献丑啦！”钟万仇讪讪地住手，一口气无处可出，大声喝道：“段正淳，来跟我斗他妈的三百回合！”摩拳擦掌，便要上前厮拚。 钟夫人冷冷地道：“段王爷，你公子给南海鳄神他们掳了去，拙夫要他们放，这几个恶人未必肯听。我和师姊回去，俟机解救，或有指望。至少也不让他们难为了公子。” 段正淳摇头道：“我信不过。钟先生，你请回吧，领了我孩儿来，换你夫人回去。” 钟万仇大怒，厉声道：“你这镇南王府是荒淫无耻之地，我老婆留在这儿危险万分。”段正淳脸上一红，喝道：“你再口出无礼之言，莫怪我姓段的不客气了。” 刀白凤进屋之后，一直一言不发，这时突然插口道：“你要留这两个女子在此，端的是何用意？是为誉儿呢，还是为你自己？”语气冷冰冰的甚是严厉。 段正淳叹了口气道：“连你也不信我！”反手出指，点在秦红棉腰间，解开了她穴道，走上一步，伸指便要往钟夫人腰间点去。 钟万仇闪身拦在妻子之前，双手急摇，大叫：“你这家伙鬼鬼祟祟，最会占女人家的便宜。我老婆的身子你碰也碰不得。”段正淳苦笑道：“在下这点穴功夫虽然粗浅，旁人却也解救不得。时刻久了，只怕尊夫人一双腿会有残疾。”钟万仇怒道：“我好端端一个如花似玉的老婆，要是变了跛子，我把你的狗杂种儿子碎尸万段。”段正淳笑道：“你要我替尊夫人解穴，却不许我碰她身子，到底要我怎地？”钟万仇无言可答，忽地勃然大怒，喝道：“谁叫你当初点了她穴道？啊哟！不好！你点我老婆穴道之时，她身子已给你碰过了。我要在你老婆身上也点上一指，才不吃亏。”钟夫人白了他一眼，嗔道：“又来胡说八道了，也不怕人家笑话。”钟万仇道：“什么好笑话的？我可不能吃这个大亏。” 正闹得不可开交，门帷掀起，缓步走进一人，黄缎长袍，三绺长须，眉清目秀，正是大理国皇帝段正明。 段正淳叫道：“皇兄！”保定帝点了点头，身子微侧，凭空出指，往钟夫人胸腹之间点去。钟夫人只觉丹田上首一热，两道暖流通向双腿，登时血脉畅通，站起身来。 钟万仇见他露了这手“隔空解穴”的神技，满脸惊异之色，张大了口，一句话也说不出来，实不信世间居然有这等不可思议的能耐。 段正淳道：“皇兄，誉儿给他们掳了去啦。”保定帝点了点头，说道：“善阐侯已跟我说了。淳弟，咱段氏子孙既落入人手，自有他父母伯父前去搭救，咱们不能扣人为质。”段正淳脸上一红，应道：“是！”保定帝这几句话光明磊落，极具身分，言下之意是说：“你扣人用质，意图交换，岂非自堕大理段氏的名声？咱们堂堂皇室子弟，怎能跟几个草莽女子相提并论？”他顿了一顿，向钟万仇道：“三位请便吧。三日之内，段家自有人到万劫谷来要人。” 钟万仇道：“我万劫谷甚是隐秘，你未必找得到，要不要我跟你说说路程方向？”他盼望保定帝出口相询，自己却偏又不说，刁难他一下。 哪知保定帝并不理会，衣袖一挥，说道：“送客！” 钟万仇性子暴躁，可是在这不怒自威的保定帝之前，却不由得手足无措，一听他说“送客”，便道：“好，咱们走！老子生平最恨的是姓段之人。世上姓段的没一个好人！”挽了妻子的手，怒气冲冲地大踏步出房。 钟夫人一扯秦红棉的衣袖，道：“师姊，咱们走吧。”秦红棉向段正淳望了一眼，见他木然不语，并没示意挽留，不禁心中酸苦，狠狠地向刀白凤瞪了一眼，低头而出。三人一出房，便即纵跃上屋。 高昇泰站在屋檐角上微微躬身，道：“送客！”钟万仇在屋顶上吐了一口唾沫，忿然道：“假惺惺，装模作样，没一个好人！”提气飞身，一间屋、一间屋地跃去，眼见将到围墙，他提气跃起，伸左足踏向墙头。突然之间，眼前多了一个人，站在他本拟落足之处的墙上，宽袍缓带，正是送客的高昇泰。此人本在钟万仇身后，不知如何，竟神不知、鬼不觉地抢到了前面，看准了他的落足点抢先占住。 钟万仇人在半空，退固不能，转向亦已不得，喝道：“让开！”双掌齐出，向高昇泰击去。他想我这双掌之力足可开碑裂石，对方若是硬接，定须将他震下墙去，就算对方和自己功力相若，也可借他之力，转向站上他身旁墙头。眼见双掌便要击上对方胸口，高昇泰身子突向后仰，凌空使个“铁板桥”，两足仍牢牢钉在墙头，却已让开了双掌的扑击。 钟万仇一击不中，暗叫：“不好！”已从高昇泰横卧的身上越过，这一着失了先机，胸腹下肢，尽皆门户大开，成了听由敌人任意宰割的局面。幸喜高昇泰并不趁机袭击，钟万仇双足落地，暗叫：“还好！”跟着钟夫人和秦红棉越墙而出。 高昇泰站直身子，转身一揖，说道：“不送了！”钟万仇哼了一声，突觉裤子向下直堕，急忙伸手抓住，才算没出丑，一摸之下，裤带已断，才知适才从高昇泰身上横越而过时，被人家伸指捏断了裤带。若非对方手下留情，这一指运力戳中丹田要穴，此刻已然尸横就地了，心下又惊又怒，咳嗽一声，回头对准围墙吐一口浓痰。啪的一声响，这口浓痰倒吐得既准且劲。
木婉清迷迷惘惘地从镇南王府中出来，段王妃刀白凤和钟万仇向她招呼，她听而不闻，径自掩面疾奔。只觉莽莽大地，再无一处安身之所。在荒山野岭中乱闯乱奔，直到黎明，只累得两腿酸软，这才停步，倚在一株大树之上，顿足叫道：“我宁可死了！不要活了！” 虽有满腹怨愤，却不知去恨谁恼谁才好。“段郎并非对我负心薄幸，只因阴差阳错，偏偏是我同父的哥哥。师父原来便是我亲娘。这十多年来，母亲含辛茹苦地将我抚养成人，恩重如山，如何能怪她……镇南王却是我爹爹，虽然他对我妈不起，但说不定其中有许多不得已的苦衷。他对我和颜悦色，极为慈爱，说道我有什么心愿，必当尽力使我如愿以偿。偏偏这心愿他无能为力。妈不能跟爹做夫妻，定是刀白凤从中作梗，因此妈叫我杀她……但将心比心，我若嫁了段郎，也决不肯让他再有第二个女人，连他要想想钟灵那小鬼头也不行。何况刀白凤出家做了道姑，当然哪，爹爹也对她不起，他娶了她做老婆，生了儿子，又去跟我妈勾勾搭搭，令她一生伤心。我在玉虚观外射她两箭，她并不生气，在王府中又射她两箭，伤了她的独生爱儿，她仍没跟我为难，看来……看来她也不是个凶狠恶毒的女子……” 左思右想，只是伤心，说道：“我要忘了段誉，从此不再想他！”但口中说说容易，便要有片刻不想，也没法做到，每当段誉俊美的脸庞、修长的身躯在脑海中涌现，胸口就如给人狠狠打了一拳。过了一会，自解自慰：“我以后当他是哥哥，也就是了。我本来是个无父无母的孤儿，现下爹也有了，妈也有了，还多了一个好哥哥，正该快活才是。傻丫头，你又伤什么心了？” 然而情网既陷，柔丝愈缠愈紧。她在无量山高峰上苦候七日七夜，于那望穿秋水之际，已然情根深种，再也无法自拔了。 只听轰隆、轰隆，奔腾澎湃的水声不断传来，木婉清万念俱绝，忽萌死志。顺步循声走去，翻过一个山头，但见澜沧江浩浩荡荡地从山脚下涌过，她叹了一口长气，寻思：“我只须踊身一跳，就再没什么烦恼了。”沿着山坡走到江边，朝阳初升，照得碧玉般的江面上犹如镶了一层黄金一般，要是跳了下去，这般壮丽无比的景色，还有别的许许多多好看东西，就都再也看不见了。 悄立江边，思涌如江水奔腾，突然眼角瞥处，见数十丈外一块岩石上坐得有人。这人始终一动不动，身上又穿着青袍，与青岩同色，是以她虽在江边良久，一直没发觉。木婉清看了他几眼，心道：“多半是个死尸。死尸怎么坐着？嗯，是个坐着的死尸。” 她举手便即杀人，自也不怕什么死人，好奇心起，快步走近去察看。见这青袍人是个老者，长须垂胸，根根漆黑，脸上一个长长的刀疤，自额头至下颏，直斩下来，色作殷红，甚为可怖，一双眼睁得大大的，望着江心，一眨也不眨。 木婉清道：“原来不是死尸！”但仔细再瞧几眼，见他全身纹丝不动，连眼珠竟也绝不稍转，显然又非活人，便道：“原来是死尸！死尸当然不眨眼，半点也不奇。死尸如果眨眼，可就奇了！” 仔细又看了一会，见这死尸双眼湛湛有神，脸上又有血色。木婉清伸出手去，到他鼻子底下一探，只觉气息若有若无，再摸他脸颊，却忽冷忽热，索性到他胸口去摸时，只觉他一颗心似停似跳。不禁大奇，自言自语：“这人真怪，说他是死人，却像是活人。说他是活人吧，却又像是死人。” 忽然有个声音说道：“我是活人！” 木婉清大吃一惊，急忙回头，却不见背后有人。江边尽是鹅卵大的乱石，放眼望去，没处可以隐藏，而她明明一直瞧着那个怪人，声音入耳之时，并未见到他动唇说话。她大声叫道：“是谁戏弄姑娘？你活得不耐烦了么？”退后两步，背向大江，眼望三方。 只听得有声音说道：“我确是活得不耐烦了。”木婉清一惊非小，眼前就只这个怪人，然而清清楚楚地见到他嘴唇紧闭，决不是他在说话。她大声喝问：“谁在说话？”那声音道：“你自己在说话啊！”木婉清道：“跟我说话的人是谁？”那声音道：“没人跟你说话。”木婉清急速转身三次，除了自己的影子外，什么也看不到。 这时已料定是这青袍客作怪。走近身去，大着胆子，伸手按住他嘴唇，问道：“是你跟我说话吗？”那声音道：“不是！”木婉清手掌中丝毫不觉颤动，又问：“明明有人跟我说话，为什么说没人？”那声音道：“我不是人，我也不是我，这世界上没有我了。” 木婉清陡然间毛骨悚然，心想：“难道真的有鬼？”问道：“你……你是鬼么？”那声音道：“你自己说不想活了，你要去变鬼，又为什么这般怕鬼？”木婉清强道：“谁说我怕鬼？我是天不怕，地不怕！” 那声音道：“你就怕一件事。”木婉清道：“哼，我什么也不怕。” 那声音道：“你怕的，你怕的。你就怕好好一个丈夫，忽然变成了亲哥哥！” 这句话便如当头一记闷棍，木婉清双腿酸软，坐倒在地，呆了半晌，喃喃地道：“你是鬼，你是鬼！”那声音道：“我有个法子，能叫段誉变成不是你的亲哥哥，又成为你的好丈夫。”木婉清颤声道：“你……你骗我。这是老天爷注定了的，变……变不来的。”那声音道：“老天爷该死，是混蛋，咱们不用理他。我有法子，能叫你哥哥变成你丈夫，你要不要？” 木婉清本已心灰意懒，万念俱绝，这句话当真是天降纶音，虽然将信将疑，仍急忙应道：“我要的，我要的！”那声音便不再响。 过了一会，木婉清道：“你是谁啊？让我见见你的相貌，成不成？”那声音道：“你已瞧了我很久啦，还看不够么？”自始至终，语音平平板板，并没高低起伏。木婉清道：“你……你就是……这个你么？”那声音道：“我也不知道我是不是我。唉！”直到最后这声长叹，才流露了他心中充满着郁闷悲苦之情。 木婉清更无怀疑，情知声音便是眼前青袍老者所发，问道：“你口唇不动，怎么会说话？”那声音道：“我是活死人，嘴唇动不来的，声音从肚子里发出来。” 木婉清年纪尚小，童心未脱，片刻之前还满腹哀愁，这时听他说居然能口唇不动而说话，不由得大感有趣，说道：“用肚子也会说话，可当真奇了。”青袍客道：“你伸手摸摸我肚皮，就知道了。”木婉清伸手按在他肚上。那青袍客道：“我肚子在震动，你觉到了么？”木婉清掌心之中，果然觉到他肚子随着声音而波动起伏，笑道：“哈哈，真古怪！”她不知这青袍客所练的乃一门腹语术。世上玩傀儡戏的会者甚多，但要说得如他这般清楚明白，那就着实不易，非有深湛内功者莫办。 木婉清绕着他身子转了几个圈子，细细察看，问道：“你嘴唇不会动，怎么吃饭？”青袍客伸出双手，一手拉上唇，一手拉下唇，将自己的嘴巴拉开，随即以左手两根手指撑住，右手投了一块东西进口，咕嘟一声，吞了下去，说道：“便是这样。”木婉清叹道：“唉！真可怜，那不是什么滋味都辨不出来么？”这时发觉他面部肌肉僵硬，眼皮似乎也没法闭上，脸上自更无喜怒哀乐之情，初见面时只道他是个死尸，便是因此。 她恐惧之情虽消，但随即想到，此人自身有极大困难，无法解除，又如何能逆天行事，将自己的亲哥哥变作丈夫？看来先前的一番说话不过是胡说八道罢了。但觉他可怜，说道：“你有什么事我能帮得上吗？”那人道：“多谢了，没有！”木婉清沉吟半晌，叹了口气，转过身来，缓缓迈步走开。只听那声音道：“我要叫段誉做你丈夫，你不能离开我。”木婉清淡淡一笑，向西走了几步，忽然停步，转身问道：“你我素不相识，你怎知道我的心事？你……你识得段郎么？” 青袍客道：“你的心事，我自然知道。”双手衣袖中分别伸出一根细细的黑铁杖，说道：“走吧！”左手铁杖在岩石上一点，已纵身而起，轻飘飘地落在丈许之外。木婉清见他双足凌空，虽只一根铁杖支地，身子却平稳之极，奇道：“你的两只脚……”青袍客道：“我双足残废已久。好了，从今以后，我的事你不可再问一句。” 木婉清道：“我要是再问呢？”几个字刚出口，突然双腿酸软，摔倒在地，原来青袍客快若飘风般欺近，右手铁杖在她膝弯连点两下，跟着举杖击下，只打得她双腿痛入骨髓，“啊”的一声大叫出来。青袍客接着铁杖连点，解开了她穴道，手法奇快。木婉清急跃而起，怒道：“你这人好生无礼！”扣住袖中短箭，便欲发射。 那青袍客道：“你射我一箭，我打你一记屁股。你射我十箭，我便打你十记。不信就试试。”木婉清心想：“我一箭若射得中，当场便要了他性命，怎么还能打我？这人也不太坏，又很可怜，何必杀他？而且这人武功似乎比南海鳄神还高，多半射他不中。当真打我屁股，那可糟糕。”只听他道：“你不敢射我，就乖乖地听我吩咐，不得有违。”木婉清道：“我见你可怜，不想杀你，不是不敢射。我才不乖乖地听你吩咐呢！”这么说着，右手手指却离开了发箭的机括。 青袍客两根细铁杖代替双足，向前行去。木婉清跟在他身后，只见他每根铁杖都有七八尺长，跨出一步，比平常人步子长了一倍有余。木婉清提气疾追，勉强方能跟上。青袍客上山过岭，如行平地，却不走山间已有的道路，不论是何乱石荆棘，铁杖一点便迈步而前。这一来可苦了木婉清，衣衫下摆被荊棘撕成一片一片，却也不抱怨示弱。 翻过几个山头，远远望见一座黑压压的大树林。木婉清心道：“到了万劫谷来啦！”问道：“咱们到万劫谷去干吗？”青袍客转过身来，突然铁杖飞出，飕的一下，在她右腿上叩了一记，说道：“你再啰唆不啰唆？”依着木婉清向来的性儿，虽明知不敌，也决不肯受人如此欺侮，但此刻心底隐隐觉得，这青袍客本领如此高强，或许真能助自己达成心愿，便道：“姑娘可不怕你，暂且让你一让。” 青袍客道：“走吧！”他却不钻树洞，绕道山谷旁斜坡，走向谷后。他对谷中途径竟十分熟识，只见他左转右转，越走越远，深入谷后。木婉清到万劫谷来见师叔甘宝宝时，在谷中曾住了数日。此时青袍客带着她所到之处，她却从未来过，没料想万劫谷中居然还有这等荒凉幽僻的所在。 行了半晌，进入一座大树林中，四周都是参天古木，其时阳光灿烂，林中却黑沉沉地宛若黄昏，越走树林越密，到后来须得侧身而行。再行出数十丈，前面一株株古树互相挤在一起，便如一堵大墙相似，再也走不过去。青袍客左手铁杖伸出，靠在她背上一挥，木婉清身不由主地腾空而起，落在一株大树的树干上。却见青袍客已轻飘飘地跃在半空，铁杖在一株大树上一插，身子飞起，越过了树墙。木婉清无此能耐，老老实实地钻过大树枝叶，在树墙彼侧跳下地来。 只见眼前一大片空地，中间孤零零的一间石屋。那石屋模样奇怪，乃以无数块大石砌成，凹凹凸凸，宛然是座小山，前有一个山洞般的门口。青袍客喝道：“进去！”木婉清向石屋内望去，黑黝黝的不知里面藏着什么怪物，如何敢贸然走进？突觉一只手掌按到了背心，急待闪避，青袍客掌心劲力已吐，将她推进屋去。 她左掌护身，使招“晓风拂柳”，护住面门，只怕黑暗中有什么怪物来袭，只听得轰隆一声，屋门已为什么重物封住。她大吃一惊，抢到门口伸手去推时，着手处粗糙异常，原来是块花岗巨岩。 她双臂运劲，尽力推出，巨岩纹丝不动。木婉清奋力又推，当真便如晴蜓撼石柱，哪里动摇得了。她大声急叫：“喂，你关我在这里干什么？”只听那青袍客道：“你求我的事，自己也忘了吗？”声音从巨岩边上的洞孔中透进来，倒听得十分清楚。木婉清定了定神，见巨岩堵住屋门，岩边到处露出空隙，有的只两三寸宽，有的却有半尺，但身子万万钻不出去。 木婉清大叫：“放我出来，放我出来！”外面再无声息，凑眼从孔穴中望将出去，遥见青袍客正跃在高空，有如一头青色大鸟般越过了树墙。
她回过身来，睁大眼睛，见屋角中有桌有床，床上坐着一人，她又是一惊，叫道：“你……你……” 那人站起身来，走上两步，叫道：“婉妹，你也来了？”语音中充满着惊喜，原来竟是段誉。 木婉清在绝望中乍见情郎，欢喜得几乎一颗心停了跳动，扑将上去，投在他怀里。石屋中光亮微弱，段誉隐约见她脸色惨白，两滴泪水夺眶而出，甚是怜惜，紧紧搂住了她，见
Duan Zhengchun saw that his son was captured by the Crocodile God of the South Sea, he didn't care where his daughter was, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at the God of Crocodile of the South Sea.Ye Erniang flicked her palm to cut his wrist veins, Duan Zhengchun hooked backhand, Ye Erniang smiled coquettishly, and flicked her middle finger to the back of his hand.In an instant, the two exchanged three moves, and Duan Zhengchun was secretly startled: "This woman is so amazing!" Qin Hongmian stretched out her hand to press the top of Duan Yu's head, and shouted: "Do you want your son's life?" Duan Zhengchun stopped in shock, knowing that she has always had a bad temper, and has always hated his first wife, Dao Baifeng. Spit out the force of the palm and hurt Duan Yu's life. He said anxiously: "Hong Mian, my child was hit by your daughter's poisonous arrow, and the injury is not serious!" Take it away. See if you want to be a prince or a son." South Sea Crocodile God laughed loudly and said, "This kid must take me as his teacher after all." Duan Zhengchun said: "Hong Mian, I promise everything , you... you let my child go!" Qin Hongmian's affection for Duan Zhengchun did not fade in the slightest because of the lapse of eighteen years. Today, when they reunited, they only became more affectionate. Hearing what he said so urgently, she immediately softened her heart and said, "You really...really Agree to everything?" Duan Zhengchun said: "Yes, yes!" Mrs. Zhong interrupted: "Sister, can you trust the words of this heartless man? Mr. Yue Er, let's go!" South Sea Crocodile stood up, hugged Duan Yu and turned around in mid-air, and landed on the opposite house.Following two bangs, Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe knocked down the two palace guards to the ground respectively. Mrs. Zhong called out: "Duan Zhengchun, shall we fight tonight?" Although Duan Zhengchun knew that if he gathered the manpower in the palace and fought hard, he might not be able to intercept these people, but his son fell into the opponent's hands, he had scruples, and it is difficult to win by force, not to mention that the pair of teachers and sisters in front of him are all loved by him from the bottom of his heart. , I used to love them so much that they were fascinated, and they were dying, and said softly: "Baby, you... are you here to make things difficult for me?" Mrs. Zhong said: "I am Zhong Wanchou's wife, why are you yelling nonsense?" Duan Zhengchun said: "Baby, I have been missing you all the time these days!" Mrs. Zhong's eyes turned red, and said: "After knowing that Mr. Duan is your child that day, I felt...so sad... "The voice also softened.Qin Hongmian shouted: "Junior Sister, do you want to be fooled by him too?" Mrs. Zhong took Qin Hongmian's hand, hardened her heart, and shouted: "Okay, let's go." Turning around, she said: "You have the knife The head of that bastard Baifeng, step by step, worships the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, and we may return your son." Duan Zhengchun said: "Valley of Myriad Tribulations!" Seeing that God Crocodile of the South China Sea was running farther and farther with Duan Yu in his arms, Gao Shengtai, Chu Wanli and others were intercepting him from all sides.Duan Zhengchun sighed, and shouted: "Brother Gao Xian, let them go." Gao Shengtai shouted: "Little prince..." Duan Zhengchun said: "Think slowly." As he spoke, he flew in front of Gao Shengtai and shouted: "The assassin has retreated, everyone returned to their original positions." With a flick of his body, he bullied Mrs. Zhong, and softly Said: "Baby, how have you been these past few years?" Mrs. Zhong said: "What's wrong?" Duan Zhengchun stretched out his finger with his backhand, silently, and hit the "Zhangmen acupoint" on her waist.Mrs. Zhong was caught off guard and collapsed immediately.Duan Zhengchun stretched out his left hand to embrace her, feigning panic, and shouted, "Ah! Baby, what... what's wrong?" Qin Hongmian didn't expect to be deceived, she ran over and asked: "Junior Sister, what's the matter?" Duan Zhengchun pointed out with "Yiyang Finger", which also hit the "Zhangmen Point" on her waist. Qin Hongmian and Mrs. Zhong were hit on their acupoints, and Duan Zhengchun hugged each other. The two glared at him bitterly, thinking: "I fell for him again. Why am I so stupid? In this life After being so fooled by him, today's incident is imminent, and my heart is confused again, and I still don't know how to guard against it." Duan Zhengchun said: "Brother Gao Xian, your internal injury has not healed, go in and rest quickly! Wanli, you lead the people and guard around." Gao Shengtai and Chu Wanli bowed and agreed. Duan Zhengchun was reunited with two old lovers for the first time, and his wife happened to be absent, so he was in a perfect place, he brought his two daughters back to the Nuan Pavilion, and ordered the cook and maidservant to hold the banquet again, and serve the dishes again. After everyone retreated, Duan Zhengchun tapped the two acupoints "Huantiao" and "Ququan" on the second daughter's legs to make them unable to walk, and then patted the "Zhangmen acupoint" on the waist of the second daughter with a smile.Qin Hongmian yelled: "Duan Zhengchun, you...you are still here to bully people..." Duan Zhengchun turned around, bowed to the two of them on the ground, and said, "I have offended you so much, I will apologize first!" Qin Hong Mian said angrily, "Who wants you to apologize? Let us go." Duan Zhengchun said: "The three of us haven't seen each other for more than ten years. It's rare to meet again today. We have a thousand words to say. Hong Mian, you are still so impatient. Baby, the longer you grow, the more delicate you seem. We were younger when we were together." Before Mrs. Zhong could answer, Qin Hongmian said angrily, "Let me go! My junior sister grows more and more beautiful, and I grow uglier and weirder. What's the use of looking at me as an ugly old woman Duan Zhengchun sighed: "Hong Mian, you look in the mirror, if you are an ugly old woman, when those who write articles describe a peerless beauty, they will say: 'The face of a fish falling into a wild goose, the appearance of an ugly old woman' gone." Qin Hongmian couldn't help sneering, and was about to stamp her feet, but her legs and feet were paralyzed and she couldn't move, she said angrily, "Who is going to joke with you now? What kind of lord do you look like, a playful hozen?" Under the candlelight, When Duan Zhengchun saw her frowning and angry expression, and recalled the night of making love in the past, his heart skipped a beat, and he walked up to her and kissed her cheek.Qin Hongmian's upper body was able to move, and with a slap with her left hand, she slapped him crisply and loudly.If Duan Zhengchun wanted to dodge the block, it would not be difficult, but he intentionally slapped her, and whispered in her ear: "If you die under the sword of Shura, even a ghost will be flirtatious!" Qin Hongmian's whole body trembled, tears streaming down her cheeks, she burst into tears, and cried, "You...you are talking about these rumors again." It turned out that Qin Hongmian used a pair of Shura knives to cross the rivers and lakes, so his nickname was "Asura Saber", on the night when he lost his virginity to Duan Zhengchun, he kissed him on the cheek and slapped him across the face. Duan Zhengchun said those two words back then.In the past eighteen years, the ten words of "Asura dies under the sword, even being a ghost" have lingered tens of thousands of times in her heart and ears.At this moment, he suddenly heard him say it himself.Really happy and angry, sweet and bitter, full of feelings. Mrs. Zhong said in a low voice: "Sister, this guy can talk sweetly and please people. Don't believe his words anymore." Qin Hongmian said: "Yes, yes! I will never believe your nonsense anymore." These words But he said it to Duan Zhengchun. Duan Zhengchun walked up to Mrs. Zhong, and said with a smile, "Baby, I'll smell your face too, okay?" Mrs. Zhong said solemnly, "I'm a married woman. As long as you touch me, I will bite off my tongue and die in front of you." Seeing her serious expression, Duan Zhengchun didn't dare to blaspheme, and asked, "Baby, what kind of husband did you marry?" Mrs. Zhong said, "My husband looks ugly, has a weird temper, and his martial arts are not as good as yours. He is not as talented as you, let alone your wealth and splendor. But he treats me wholeheartedly, and there is no second woman. I also treat him wholeheartedly. If I feel sorry for him, I will kill Baby Gan, and I will never be reborn. Let me tell you, the place where I live with him is called 'Valley of Myriad Tribulations', and that name comes from my poisonous oath." Duan Zhengchun couldn't help being awed, and he didn't dare to mention his old friendship again.Although he didn't mention it in his mouth, but seeing Baobao Gan's fair and tender face as before, and his slightly pursed lips as cherry red as before, how could he forget his past friendship?Hearing that she was so kind to her husband in her words, she couldn't help but feel intensely sad, with tears rolling in her eyes, she sighed a long time, and said, "Baby, I'm not lucky, I can't let you treat me like this. Originally...it was me Knowing you first, alas, it’s all my own fault!” Mrs. Zhong's eyes turned red again when she heard that his tone was desolate and sincere, and that he was not just trying to deceive people with empty words. The three of them faced each other silently, they all recalled the old things, their brows were filled with happiness and sorrow. After a long time, Duan Zhengchun said softly: "You kidnapped my child, but for what? Baby, where is your Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations?" Suddenly a hoarse voice outside the window said: "Don't tell him!" Duan Zhengchun was taken aback, thinking: "There are Chu Wanli and a group of people guarding outside, why did someone quietly bully you?" Madam's complexion darkened, and said: "Are you injured, why are you here?" Following a woman's voice, she said: "Mr. Zhong, please come in!" Duan Zhengchun was even more surprised, and couldn't help but blush. The curtain of the Nuan Pavilion was lifted, and Dao Baifeng walked in, with a look of anger on his face, followed by an extremely ugly man with a long face like a horse.
It turned out that Qin Hongmian failed to go to Gusu to assassinate, and instead separated from her beloved daughter. According to the agreement, she came to Dali in the south to meet her junior sister.Grandma Rui and Grandma Ping sent by the royal family of Gusu pursued Mu Wanqing with all their strength. Qin Hongmian was eight or nine days behind, and the journey was safe and sound.When they came to the Valley of Myriad Tribulations and asked the reason, they went out to visit with Mrs. Zhong. On the way, they encountered the "three evils" Ye Erniang, South Sea Crocodile God and Yun Zhonghe.The "three evils" were Zhong Wanchou's helper who was invited to make things difficult for Duan Zhengchun, so he told Madam Zhong about the incident.Naturally, the God of Crocodile of the South China Sea did not talk about the scandal of being involved in Duan Yu's sect.Qin Hongmian heard that Mu Wanqing was trapped in the Southern Palace of Dali Town, so she immediately came with her. Zhong Wanchou loved his wife more than his life, and he was very jealous. Since she left, he was restless and restless, and he didn't care about the unhealed wound, so he followed her in the middle of the night.Outside Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Dao Baifeng happened to come out angrily, with no place to vent his grievances, the two of them had a disagreement, and immediately fought.When the fight was in full swing, Dao Baifeng gradually felt overwhelmed, suddenly a figure in black passed by, covering his face and sobbing, but it was Mu Wanqing.The two greeted each other in unison, but Mu Wanqing ignored them and left. Zhong Wanchou shouted: "It's important for me to find my wife, I don't have time to fight with you." Dao Baifeng said: "Where are you going to find a wife?" Zhong Wanchou said: "Go to Duan Zhengchun's house. My wife saw you Duan Zhengchun, the big thing is not good." Dao Baifeng asked: "Why is the big thing not good?" Zhong Wanchou said: "Duan Zhengchun is a sweet talker, he is the best at seducing women, I must kill him." Dao Baifeng thought to himself: "Zhengchun is in his forties and has a big beard. He is still a 'little boy'? But he is romantic, so you have to guard against the words of this horse-faced man." When asked about the origin of his and his wife's names, it turned out that His wife is Baby Gan.She knew that "Pretty Yaocha" Gan Baobao was one of her husband's former lovers, and her jealousy became even stronger, and she immediately accompanied Zhong Wanchou to the palace. Although the surrounding area of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded, the guards saw that it was the princess and would not stop them, so the two of them bullied them under the Nuan Pavilion, and no one raised their voices to warn.Duan Zhengchun's gossiping and flirting with Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao, the two people outside the window heard each other, and Dao Baifeng's chest exploded in anger.Zhong Wanchou was overjoyed when he heard his wife defend herself with courtesy. Zhong Wanchou ran to his wife, loving and happy, and walked around her, constantly saying, "Thank you, baby, you have treated me so well. If he dares to bully you, I will fight him desperately." It took a long while before he realized that his wife's acupoints were being touched, and turned to Duan Zhengchun and said, "Quickly, quickly untie my wife's acupoints." Duan Zhengchun said, "My son was taken away by you, go back and release him My son, I will naturally save Mrs. Madam." 钟万仇伸手在妻子腰间胁下又捏又拍，虽然他内功甚强，但段家“一阳指”手法天下独一无二，旁人无所措手，只累得他满额青筋暴起，钟夫人被他拍捏得又痛又痒，腿上穴道却未解开半分。钟夫人嗔道：“傻瓜，别献丑啦！”钟万仇讪讪地住手，一口气无处可出，大声喝道：“段正淳，来跟我斗他妈的三百回合！”摩拳擦掌，便要上前厮拚。 钟夫人冷冷地道：“段王爷，你公子给南海鳄神他们掳了去，拙夫要他们放，这几个恶人未必肯听。我和师姊回去，俟机解救，或有指望。至少也不让他们难为了公子。” 段正淳摇头道：“我信不过。钟先生，你请回吧，领了我孩儿来，换你夫人回去。” 钟万仇大怒，厉声道：“你这镇南王府是荒淫无耻之地，我老婆留在这儿危险万分。”段正淳脸上一红，喝道：“你再口出无礼之言，莫怪我姓段的不客气了。” 刀白凤进屋之后，一直一言不发，这时突然插口道：“你要留这两个女子在此，端的是何用意？是为誉儿呢，还是为你自己？”语气冷冰冰的甚是严厉。 段正淳叹了口气道：“连你也不信我！”反手出指，点在秦红棉腰间，解开了她穴道，走上一步，伸指便要往钟夫人腰间点去。 钟万仇闪身拦在妻子之前，双手急摇，大叫：“你这家伙鬼鬼祟祟，最会占女人家的便宜。我老婆的身子你碰也碰不得。”段正淳苦笑道：“在下这点穴功夫虽然粗浅，旁人却也解救不得。时刻久了，只怕尊夫人一双腿会有残疾。”钟万仇怒道：“我好端端一个如花似玉的老婆，要是变了跛子，我把你的狗杂种儿子碎尸万段。”段正淳笑道：“你要我替尊夫人解穴，却不许我碰她身子，到底要我怎地？”钟万仇无言可答，忽地勃然大怒，喝道：“谁叫你当初点了她穴道？啊哟！不好！你点我老婆穴道之时，她身子已给你碰过了。我要在你老婆身上也点上一指，才不吃亏。”钟夫人白了他一眼，嗔道：“又来胡说八道了，也不怕人家笑话。”钟万仇道：“什么好笑话的？我可不能吃这个大亏。” 正闹得不可开交，门帷掀起，缓步走进一人，黄缎长袍，三绺长须，眉清目秀，正是大理国皇帝段正明。 段正淳叫道：“皇兄！”保定帝点了点头，身子微侧，凭空出指，往钟夫人胸腹之间点去。钟夫人只觉丹田上首一热，两道暖流通向双腿，登时血脉畅通，站起身来。 钟万仇见他露了这手“隔空解穴”的神技，满脸惊异之色，张大了口，一句话也说不出来，实不信世间居然有这等不可思议的能耐。 段正淳道：“皇兄，誉儿给他们掳了去啦。”保定帝点了点头，说道：“善阐侯已跟我说了。淳弟，咱段氏子孙既落入人手，自有他父母伯父前去搭救，咱们不能扣人为质。”段正淳脸上一红，应道：“是！”保定帝这几句话光明磊落，极具身分，言下之意是说：“你扣人用质，意图交换，岂非自堕大理段氏的名声？咱们堂堂皇室子弟，怎能跟几个草莽女子相提并论？”他顿了一顿，向钟万仇道：“三位请便吧。三日之内，段家自有人到万劫谷来要人。” 钟万仇道：“我万劫谷甚是隐秘，你未必找得到，要不要我跟你说说路程方向？”他盼望保定帝出口相询，自己却偏又不说，刁难他一下。 哪知保定帝并不理会，衣袖一挥，说道：“送客！” 钟万仇性子暴躁，可是在这不怒自威的保定帝之前，却不由得手足无措，一听他说“送客”，便道：“好，咱们走！老子生平最恨的是姓段之人。世上姓段的没一个好人！”挽了妻子的手，怒气冲冲地大踏步出房。 钟夫人一扯秦红棉的衣袖，道：“师姊，咱们走吧。”秦红棉向段正淳望了一眼，见他木然不语，并没示意挽留，不禁心中酸苦，狠狠地向刀白凤瞪了一眼，低头而出。三人一出房，便即纵跃上屋。 高昇泰站在屋檐角上微微躬身，道：“送客！”钟万仇在屋顶上吐了一口唾沫，忿然道：“假惺惺，装模作样，没一个好人！”提气飞身，一间屋、一间屋地跃去，眼见将到围墙，他提气跃起，伸左足踏向墙头。突然之间，眼前多了一个人，站在他本拟落足之处的墙上，宽袍缓带，正是送客的高昇泰。此人本在钟万仇身后，不知如何，竟神不知、鬼不觉地抢到了前面，看准了他的落足点抢先占住。 钟万仇人在半空，退固不能，转向亦已不得，喝道：“让开！”双掌齐出，向高昇泰击去。他想我这双掌之力足可开碑裂石，对方若是硬接，定须将他震下墙去，就算对方和自己功力相若，也可借他之力，转向站上他身旁墙头。眼见双掌便要击上对方胸口，高昇泰身子突向后仰，凌空使个“铁板桥”，两足仍牢牢钉在墙头，却已让开了双掌的扑击。 钟万仇一击不中，暗叫：“不好！”已从高昇泰横卧的身上越过，这一着失了先机，胸腹下肢，尽皆门户大开，成了听由敌人任意宰割的局面。幸喜高昇泰并不趁机袭击，钟万仇双足落地，暗叫：“还好！”跟着钟夫人和秦红棉越墙而出。 高昇泰站直身子，转身一揖，说道：“不送了！”钟万仇哼了一声，突觉裤子向下直堕，急忙伸手抓住，才算没出丑，一摸之下，裤带已断，才知适才从高昇泰身上横越而过时，被人家伸指捏断了裤带。若非对方手下留情，这一指运力戳中丹田要穴，此刻已然尸横就地了，心下又惊又怒，咳嗽一声，回头对准围墙吐一口浓痰。啪的一声响，这口浓痰倒吐得既准且劲。
木婉清迷迷惘惘地从镇南王府中出来，段王妃刀白凤和钟万仇向她招呼，她听而不闻，径自掩面疾奔。只觉莽莽大地，再无一处安身之所。在荒山野岭中乱闯乱奔，直到黎明，只累得两腿酸软，这才停步，倚在一株大树之上，顿足叫道：“我宁可死了！不要活了！” 虽有满腹怨愤，却不知去恨谁恼谁才好。“段郎并非对我负心薄幸，只因阴差阳错，偏偏是我同父的哥哥。师父原来便是我亲娘。这十多年来，母亲含辛茹苦地将我抚养成人，恩重如山，如何能怪她……镇南王却是我爹爹，虽然他对我妈不起，但说不定其中有许多不得已的苦衷。他对我和颜悦色，极为慈爱，说道我有什么心愿，必当尽力使我如愿以偿。偏偏这心愿他无能为力。妈不能跟爹做夫妻，定是刀白凤从中作梗，因此妈叫我杀她……但将心比心，我若嫁了段郎，也决不肯让他再有第二个女人，连他要想想钟灵那小鬼头也不行。何况刀白凤出家做了道姑，当然哪，爹爹也对她不起，他娶了她做老婆，生了儿子，又去跟我妈勾勾搭搭，令她一生伤心。我在玉虚观外射她两箭，她并不生气，在王府中又射她两箭，伤了她的独生爱儿，她仍没跟我为难，看来……看来她也不是个凶狠恶毒的女子……” 左思右想，只是伤心，说道：“我要忘了段誉，从此不再想他！”但口中说说容易，便要有片刻不想，也没法做到，每当段誉俊美的脸庞、修长的身躯在脑海中涌现，胸口就如给人狠狠打了一拳。过了一会，自解自慰：“我以后当他是哥哥，也就是了。我本来是个无父无母的孤儿，现下爹也有了，妈也有了，还多了一个好哥哥，正该快活才是。傻丫头，你又伤什么心了？” 然而情网既陷，柔丝愈缠愈紧。她在无量山高峰上苦候七日七夜，于那望穿秋水之际，已然情根深种，再也无法自拔了。 只听轰隆、轰隆，奔腾澎湃的水声不断传来，木婉清万念俱绝，忽萌死志。顺步循声走去，翻过一个山头，但见澜沧江浩浩荡荡地从山脚下涌过，她叹了一口长气，寻思：“我只须踊身一跳，就再没什么烦恼了。”沿着山坡走到江边，朝阳初升，照得碧玉般的江面上犹如镶了一层黄金一般，要是跳了下去，这般壮丽无比的景色，还有别的许许多多好看东西，就都再也看不见了。 悄立江边，思涌如江水奔腾，突然眼角瞥处，见数十丈外一块岩石上坐得有人。这人始终一动不动，身上又穿着青袍，与青岩同色，是以她虽在江边良久，一直没发觉。木婉清看了他几眼，心道：“多半是个死尸。死尸怎么坐着？嗯，是个坐着的死尸。” 她举手便即杀人，自也不怕什么死人，好奇心起，快步走近去察看。见这青袍人是个老者，长须垂胸，根根漆黑，脸上一个长长的刀疤，自额头至下颏，直斩下来，色作殷红，甚为可怖，一双眼睁得大大的，望着江心，一眨也不眨。 木婉清道：“原来不是死尸！”但仔细再瞧几眼，见他全身纹丝不动，连眼珠竟也绝不稍转，显然又非活人，便道：“原来是死尸！死尸当然不眨眼，半点也不奇。死尸如果眨眼，可就奇了！” 仔细又看了一会，见这死尸双眼湛湛有神，脸上又有血色。木婉清伸出手去，到他鼻子底下一探，只觉气息若有若无，再摸他脸颊，却忽冷忽热，索性到他胸口去摸时，只觉他一颗心似停似跳。不禁大奇，自言自语：“这人真怪，说他是死人，却像是活人。说他是活人吧，却又像是死人。” 忽然有个声音说道：“我是活人！” 木婉清大吃一惊，急忙回头，却不见背后有人。江边尽是鹅卵大的乱石，放眼望去，没处可以隐藏，而她明明一直瞧着那个怪人，声音入耳之时，并未见到他动唇说话。她大声叫道：“是谁戏弄姑娘？你活得不耐烦了么？”退后两步，背向大江，眼望三方。 只听得有声音说道：“我确是活得不耐烦了。”木婉清一惊非小，眼前就只这个怪人，然而清清楚楚地见到他嘴唇紧闭，决不是他在说话。她大声喝问：“谁在说话？”那声音道：“你自己在说话啊！”木婉清道：“跟我说话的人是谁？”那声音道：“没人跟你说话。”木婉清急速转身三次，除了自己的影子外，什么也看不到。 这时已料定是这青袍客作怪。走近身去，大着胆子，伸手按住他嘴唇，问道：“是你跟我说话吗？”那声音道：“不是！”木婉清手掌中丝毫不觉颤动，又问：“明明有人跟我说话，为什么说没人？”那声音道：“我不是人，我也不是我，这世界上没有我了。” 木婉清陡然间毛骨悚然，心想：“难道真的有鬼？”问道：“你……你是鬼么？”那声音道：“你自己说不想活了，你要去变鬼，又为什么这般怕鬼？”木婉清强道：“谁说我怕鬼？我是天不怕，地不怕！” 那声音道：“你就怕一件事。”木婉清道：“哼，我什么也不怕。” 那声音道：“你怕的，你怕的。你就怕好好一个丈夫，忽然变成了亲哥哥！” 这句话便如当头一记闷棍，木婉清双腿酸软，坐倒在地，呆了半晌，喃喃地道：“你是鬼，你是鬼！”那声音道：“我有个法子，能叫段誉变成不是你的亲哥哥，又成为你的好丈夫。”木婉清颤声道：“你……你骗我。这是老天爷注定了的，变……变不来的。”那声音道：“老天爷该死，是混蛋，咱们不用理他。我有法子，能叫你哥哥变成你丈夫，你要不要？” 木婉清本已心灰意懒，万念俱绝，这句话当真是天降纶音，虽然将信将疑，仍急忙应道：“我要的，我要的！”那声音便不再响。 过了一会，木婉清道：“你是谁啊？让我见见你的相貌，成不成？”那声音道：“你已瞧了我很久啦，还看不够么？”自始至终，语音平平板板，并没高低起伏。木婉清道：“你……你就是……这个你么？”那声音道：“我也不知道我是不是我。唉！”直到最后这声长叹，才流露了他心中充满着郁闷悲苦之情。 木婉清更无怀疑，情知声音便是眼前青袍老者所发，问道：“你口唇不动，怎么会说话？”那声音道：“我是活死人，嘴唇动不来的，声音从肚子里发出来。” 木婉清年纪尚小，童心未脱，片刻之前还满腹哀愁，这时听他说居然能口唇不动而说话，不由得大感有趣，说道：“用肚子也会说话，可当真奇了。”青袍客道：“你伸手摸摸我肚皮，就知道了。”木婉清伸手按在他肚上。那青袍客道：“我肚子在震动，你觉到了么？”木婉清掌心之中，果然觉到他肚子随着声音而波动起伏，笑道：“哈哈，真古怪！”她不知这青袍客所练的乃一门腹语术。世上玩傀儡戏的会者甚多，但要说得如他这般清楚明白，那就着实不易，非有深湛内功者莫办。 木婉清绕着他身子转了几个圈子，细细察看，问道：“你嘴唇不会动，怎么吃饭？”青袍客伸出双手，一手拉上唇，一手拉下唇，将自己的嘴巴拉开，随即以左手两根手指撑住，右手投了一块东西进口，咕嘟一声，吞了下去，说道：“便是这样。”木婉清叹道：“唉！真可怜，那不是什么滋味都辨不出来么？”这时发觉他面部肌肉僵硬，眼皮似乎也没法闭上，脸上自更无喜怒哀乐之情，初见面时只道他是个死尸，便是因此。 她恐惧之情虽消，但随即想到，此人自身有极大困难，无法解除，又如何能逆天行事，将自己的亲哥哥变作丈夫？看来先前的一番说话不过是胡说八道罢了。但觉他可怜，说道：“你有什么事我能帮得上吗？”那人道：“多谢了，没有！”木婉清沉吟半晌，叹了口气，转过身来，缓缓迈步走开。只听那声音道：“我要叫段誉做你丈夫，你不能离开我。”木婉清淡淡一笑，向西走了几步，忽然停步，转身问道：“你我素不相识，你怎知道我的心事？你……你识得段郎么？” 青袍客道：“你的心事，我自然知道。”双手衣袖中分别伸出一根细细的黑铁杖，说道：“走吧！”左手铁杖在岩石上一点，已纵身而起，轻飘飘地落在丈许之外。木婉清见他双足凌空，虽只一根铁杖支地，身子却平稳之极，奇道：“你的两只脚……”青袍客道：“我双足残废已久。好了，从今以后，我的事你不可再问一句。” 木婉清道：“我要是再问呢？”几个字刚出口，突然双腿酸软，摔倒在地，原来青袍客快若飘风般欺近，右手铁杖在她膝弯连点两下，跟着举杖击下，只打得她双腿痛入骨髓，“啊”的一声大叫出来。青袍客接着铁杖连点，解开了她穴道，手法奇快。木婉清急跃而起，怒道：“你这人好生无礼！”扣住袖中短箭，便欲发射。 那青袍客道：“你射我一箭，我打你一记屁股。你射我十箭，我便打你十记。不信就试试。”木婉清心想：“我一箭若射得中，当场便要了他性命，怎么还能打我？这人也不太坏，又很可怜，何必杀他？而且这人武功似乎比南海鳄神还高，多半射他不中。当真打我屁股，那可糟糕。”只听他道：“你不敢射我，就乖乖地听我吩咐，不得有违。”木婉清道：“我见你可怜，不想杀你，不是不敢射。我才不乖乖地听你吩咐呢！”这么说着，右手手指却离开了发箭的机括。 青袍客两根细铁杖代替双足，向前行去。木婉清跟在他身后，只见他每根铁杖都有七八尺长，跨出一步，比平常人步子长了一倍有余。木婉清提气疾追，勉强方能跟上。青袍客上山过岭，如行平地，却不走山间已有的道路，不论是何乱石荆棘，铁杖一点便迈步而前。这一来可苦了木婉清，衣衫下摆被荊棘撕成一片一片，却也不抱怨示弱。 翻过几个山头，远远望见一座黑压压的大树林。木婉清心道：“到了万劫谷来啦！”问道：“咱们到万劫谷去干吗？”青袍客转过身来，突然铁杖飞出，飕的一下，在她右腿上叩了一记，说道：“你再啰唆不啰唆？”依着木婉清向来的性儿，虽明知不敌，也决不肯受人如此欺侮，但此刻心底隐隐觉得，这青袍客本领如此高强，或许真能助自己达成心愿，便道：“姑娘可不怕你，暂且让你一让。” 青袍客道：“走吧！”他却不钻树洞，绕道山谷旁斜坡，走向谷后。他对谷中途径竟十分熟识，只见他左转右转，越走越远，深入谷后。木婉清到万劫谷来见师叔甘宝宝时，在谷中曾住了数日。此时青袍客带着她所到之处，她却从未来过，没料想万劫谷中居然还有这等荒凉幽僻的所在。 行了半晌，进入一座大树林中，四周都是参天古木，其时阳光灿烂，林中却黑沉沉地宛若黄昏，越走树林越密，到后来须得侧身而行。再行出数十丈，前面一株株古树互相挤在一起，便如一堵大墙相似，再也走不过去。青袍客左手铁杖伸出，靠在她背上一挥，木婉清身不由主地腾空而起，落在一株大树的树干上。却见青袍客已轻飘飘地跃在半空，铁杖在一株大树上一插，身子飞起，越过了树墙。木婉清无此能耐，老老实实地钻过大树枝叶，在树墙彼侧跳下地来。 只见眼前一大片空地，中间孤零零的一间石屋。那石屋模样奇怪，乃以无数块大石砌成，凹凹凸凸，宛然是座小山，前有一个山洞般的门口。青袍客喝道：“进去！”木婉清向石屋内望去，黑黝黝的不知里面藏着什么怪物，如何敢贸然走进？突觉一只手掌按到了背心，急待闪避，青袍客掌心劲力已吐，将她推进屋去。 她左掌护身，使招“晓风拂柳”，护住面门，只怕黑暗中有什么怪物来袭，只听得轰隆一声，屋门已为什么重物封住。她大吃一惊，抢到门口伸手去推时，着手处粗糙异常，原来是块花岗巨岩。 她双臂运劲，尽力推出，巨岩纹丝不动。木婉清奋力又推，当真便如晴蜓撼石柱，哪里动摇得了。她大声急叫：“喂，你关我在这里干什么？”只听那青袍客道：“你求我的事，自己也忘了吗？”声音从巨岩边上的洞孔中透进来，倒听得十分清楚。木婉清定了定神，见巨岩堵住屋门，岩边到处露出空隙，有的只两三寸宽，有的却有半尺，但身子万万钻不出去。 木婉清大叫：“放我出来，放我出来！”外面再无声息，凑眼从孔穴中望将出去，遥见青袍客正跃在高空，有如一头青色大鸟般越过了树墙。
她回过身来，睁大眼睛，见屋角中有桌有床，床上坐着一人，她又是一惊，叫道：“你……你……” 那人站起身来，走上两步，叫道：“婉妹，你也来了？”语音中充满着惊喜，原来竟是段誉。 木婉清在绝望中乍见情郎，欢喜得几乎一颗心停了跳动，扑将上去，投在他怀里。石屋中光亮微弱，段誉隐约见她脸色惨白，两滴泪水夺眶而出，甚是怜惜，紧紧搂住了她，见
