Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen
The small boats in Taihu Lake have no canopy and no sails, they are very simple, the wooden oars are also used as rudders, and the hull of the boat is directed, east, west, north, all moved by the wooden oars in the water. Although Jiumozhi and Duan Yu are clever, they have never learned how to paddle. , the more effort you put in, the faster the boat turns around in the lake.A Zhu said with a smile: "Young Master Duan, don't come here, let sister Abi take you there." Duan Yu was still unconvinced, he used his hands hard, his face was flushed, the boat turned against the bank and approached.Abi lightly jumped onto the bow, and said with a smile: "Master Duan, I'll see you off!" The wooden oar only flicked a few times in the water, and the boat fell over the bow and left the shore.A'Zhu raised his hand and shouted: "Mr. Duan, goodbye!"
Duan Yu stopped paddling, feeling depressed.He was bullied by Wuliangjian and the Shennong Gang, persecuted by the Crocodile God of the South China Sea, imprisoned by Prince Yanqing, captured by Jiumozhi, and worked as a flower gardener in Mantuo Villa. Such resentment and anger at the moment.
In fact, he heard that none of the perfume pavilions really embarrassed him.Although Bao BuTong asked him to please, he also left room for him. Wang YuYan asked him to stay one more night. AZhu and ABi sent them out courteously, but he was still unspeakably depressed.There was a gust of evening wind on the lake, carrying the fragrance of lotus leaves, Duan Yu looked up at the sky full of stars, as if he was a breeze, but for some reason, he was filled with resentment.The insults given to him by Mu Wanqing, Nanhai Crocodile, Prince Yanqing, Jiumozhi, Mrs. Wang, etc. were much more serious, but he accepted it calmly and did not feel too much wronged.
He felt vaguely in his heart that because he admired Wang Yuyan deeply, but this girl didn't have any shadow of Duan Yu in her heart, and Bao BuTong, A Zhu, A Bi didn't take him seriously.He has been treated as a sweetheart since he was a child, and no one from the emperor and queen of Dali thinks he is the most remarkable.Even if he encounters an enemy, the South Sea God Crocodile wholeheartedly wants to accept him as a disciple; Jiumozhi worked tirelessly to kidnap him from Dali and come to Jiangnan, so he also attaches great importance to him.As for the young girls like Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing, they fell in love with him as soon as they saw him.
He has never been so neglected and despised in his life. Although others are polite, they are indifferent and polite.In other people's minds, Young Master Murong is of course much more important than him. These days, whenever someone mentions Young Master Murong, everyone will immediately stir up a sensation and listen attentively.Wang Yuyan, A'Zhu, Abi, Bao Budong, as well as Uncle Deng, Second Master Gongye, Fourth Master Feng, all of them seemed to be born for Mr. Murong.
He had never tasted jealousy and envy before, and when he was boating on the lake, he seemed to see the shadow of Mr. Murong sneering at him in the sky, as if he heard Mr. Murong sneering: "Duan Yu, Duan Yu, what are you doing?" As good as a hair on my body? You are interested in my cousin, don’t you mean that a toad wants to eat swan meat? Don’t you think it’s shameful and ridiculous?”
Remembering that I was captured by Jiumozhi, my uncle, parents, uncle Gao, Zhu Danchen, etc. must be very concerned about it, and there will be scouts everywhere to find my whereabouts. Maybe my father and mother chased me down by myself, so it should be Return to Dali as soon as possible, so as not to worry about relatives.Since I left Dali, this thought has been circling in my heart every day, and now no one cares about it in Suzhou, and I miss the days when I was cared like stars and moons in Dali.He also thought, since Mr. Huo saw that the evil monk couldn't catch up with him, he would return to Dali to report to his father.Thinking of this, I feel a little relieved.
He sat on the bow of the boat and looked at Abi who was paddling in the stern. This scene was like the scene of rowing to Mantuo Villa that day.At that time, he deeply hoped to be like this forever, a long-term companion. Now it can be said that his wish has been fulfilled, and he should have been overjoyed. However, his heart was peaceful that day, but now he is full of anger. , but at this moment I have seen the jade face of this fairy sister, but this girl Wang is devoted to her cousin Murong Fu wholeheartedly. When Duan Yu is just a "bookworm flower maker", it is best for him to walk as fast as possible The better, the farther away the better, don't be caught between her and Murong Fu to be annoying.It's okay for Duan Yu to be bullied and bullied, but he can't bear to be despised, so he doesn't take him seriously.
After thinking about it, I thought again: "If I spend my whole life with a girl on a boat in Taihu Lake, if I am with Miss Wang, I will be out of my mind, and I will be out of my mind; Together, the two of them talked nonsense from morning to night, laughing and joking. If I were with Abi, I would pity her, cherish her, love her and take care of her. Sigh, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling are my own sisters, but I didn't treat them originally It's my sister. Abi is obviously not my sister, but I want to recognize her as my sister..." Thinking of this, I felt dumbfounded, and couldn't help shouting: "Little sister..."
Abi was startled, stopped her oars and raised her head, said with a smile: "Mr. Duan, are you asleep? You were dreaming just now, was it oral?" Duan Yu was very embarrassed when he called out, and said: "Yes, I was dreaming just now. , in the dream I was my elder brother, and you were my sister. I saw that you were very obedient, so I called you little sister!" Abi blushed slightly, and said, "I am a little girl, how can I be your son-in-law's little girl?" Sister? Don’t be too strict when you are dreaming, call it out in the daytime, don’t smile and make people’s mouth crooked.” Duan Yu said: “I call you little sister when I dream at night, and I call you when no one hears you in the daytime. Are you okay?"
Abi also said that he made teasing words. People in Suzhou call women "sisters", and they often regard her as a lover, and said sternly: "Mr. Duan, you treat me very well. That evil monk wanted to kill me, but you tried your best to block it and saved my life." , I will send you off tonight. I am just a little girl, Brother Bao is talking nonsense, don’t take it to heart. If you joke with me again, I will ignore you from now on.” Duan Yu stood up , knelt on the bow of the boat, raised his right hand and said: "I, Duan Yu, solemnly swear that if I want to truly treat Miss Abi as my little sister, I will never have any unscrupulous intentions. If I have a wrong intention, the Bodhisattva will punish me to become a bull in the next life." Changing a horse, King Yama sent me to the 18th level of hell. I, Duan Yu, will take good care of Miss Abi and never do anything to make her unhappy." He kowtowed and touched the board of the boat. , thumping sound.
Seeing that he spoke sincerely, Abi believed that he was sincere, and said softly: "Mr. Duan, you can't afford to recognize me as a girl. But you will always remember the kindness you said tonight. Duan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I want to recognize you as a girl. That's true. I never meant to tease you. I just thought in my heart: 'If I have a little girl like Abi Sister, that's really great.' You are afraid that people will laugh and don't like me calling you little sister, so I will only call you in my dreams, and I won't call you in the day!" Abi blushed and said coyly: "I see you Ah, you put all your heart on Miss Wang, why would you call me in your dream?" Duan Yu said: "Okay, then let's agree, I will call you little sister in my dream, and you agree. If I don't call you, You don't agree." Abi nodded, smiled and said, "Okay, that's it."
Duan Yu recognized Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling as his sisters, he had no choice but to change his former wife into a younger sister; this time he recognized Abi as his sister in Taihu Lake, but it was his wish, he only hoped that there would be someone who didn't want to marry her. Hearing that Abi readily accepts her as his wife's sister, she was overjoyed, so she picked up the wooden oar and helped row the boat according to the method Abi taught.
He is clever by nature and has strong inner strength, so he learned how to row a boat in a short time.After paddling for more than an hour, the sky gradually dawned. Abi saw an empty boat rippling in front of her, thinking that Bao Budong, Wang Yuyan and others were going to find the son-in-law. Seeing that Duan Yu knew how to row a boat, she felt that she was alone with him. It was embarrassing to hear him talk about intimacy, so he said: "Young Master Duan, there is a small boat just ahead, I'll go back first, how about you?" Duan Yu could only say: "Okay, you have sent me a long way! "Abi said: "This is Maji Mountain in the past, very close to Wuxi, if you row towards the mountain, you will not make a mistake." Duan Yu said: "Yes, then you go back! Little sister Abi." Abi smiled and said: "Oh, you go too. Are you dreaming?" Duan Yu said: "It's not a dream, I really called you. I'm very happy that you accepted me." Abi smiled and said: " Elder brother, I am also very happy." He drew close to the empty boat and stepped across.Duan Yu watched Abi's boat rowing into the mist, and turned back to Tingxiang Pavilion, then pulled the wooden oar and continued to row.After paddling for more than an hour, the abundant internal energy slowly developed, and the more I paddled, the more energetic I felt, and the annoyance and depression in my heart gradually disappeared.Near noon, we arrived at the bank of Wuxi city.
Entering the city, pedestrians come and go, very prosperous, compared with Dali, it has a different scenery.While walking, I suddenly smelled an aroma, which is the smell of caramel, soy sauce mixed with cooked meat.He hadn't eaten for most of the day, and he was already hungry after rowing the boat all this time, so he followed the scent and turned a corner, only to see the oldest restaurant standing in front of the street, with the golden signboard saying "Songhe Tower" three big characters.The signboard has been smoked from the kitchen for a long time, but the three gold characters are shining brightly. Bursts of wine and meat smell from the restaurant, and the sound of the cook's knives and ladles and the waiter's yelling are all in one piece.
Duan Yu came upstairs, and the waiter came to greet him.He ordered a jug of wine, asked the waiter to match it with four-color dishes, and poured it by himself leaning on the railing beside the building. Suddenly, a sense of desolation and loneliness came to his heart, and he couldn't help heaving a long sigh.
A big man on the west seat turned his head, and two cold eyes flicked across his face twice.Duan Yu saw that this man was tall and tall, in his thirties, wearing a gray old cloth robe, which was slightly tattered, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose and wide mouth, a square Chinese character face, quite weathered, when he looked forward, Very powerful.
Duan Yu cheered secretly in his heart: "What a big man! This must be the tragic and generous man of Yanzhao Northern Kingdom. No matter Jiangnan or Dali, there will be no such person. Bao Budong boasted that he was so heroic, like this big man Only then can it be called the word 'heroic and energetic'!" On the big man's table was a plate of cooked beef, a large bowl of soup, two large jugs of wine, and nothing else, so it can be seen that he is very heroic even when eating and drinking comfortable.
The big man glanced at Duan Yu twice, then turned his head away, and ate and drank by himself.Duan Yu was feeling lonely and bored, and wanted to make friends, so he called the waiter over, pointed at the burly man's vest and said: "This master's food and drink bills are all paid to me."
When the big man heard Duan Yu's order, he turned his head and smiled, nodded his head in thanks, but didn't speak.Duan Yu wanted to chat with him a few words to relieve the loneliness in his heart, but it was not convenient.
After drinking three more glasses of wine, I only heard footsteps on the stairs, and two people came up.The person in front of him was lame and supported a cane, but he still walked quickly. The second person was an old man with a sad face.The two walked to the big man's table and bowed respectfully.The big man only nodded his head and didn't get up to return the salute.
The lame man said in a low voice: "Brother Qi, the other party has agreed to meet in the pavilion in Huishan early in the morning." The big man nodded and said: "It's a bit rushed." They said that the appointment was scheduled for three days later. But the other party seemed to know that we were short-handed, so he sneered, saying that if you dare not keep the appointment, you will be fine if you don’t go tomorrow." The big man said: "Yes, you continue to spread rumors , tonight three or three people gather in Huishan. Let's go first and wait for the other party to come to the appointment." The two bowed in agreement, turned and went downstairs.
The voices of these three people were extremely low, and none of the other drinkers upstairs could hear them, but Duan Yu was full of internal energy, his eyes and ears were clever, although he didn't want to deliberately eavesdrop on others' whispers, he naturally heard every word.
The big man glanced at Duan Yu intentionally or unintentionally, saw him bowing his head in thought, obviously heard his own words, suddenly his eyes brightened, and he snorted heavily.Duan Yu was taken aback, his left hand trembled slightly, and with a bang, the wine glass fell to the ground and shattered.The big man smiled slightly and said, "Why is this brother panicking? How about coming over and having a drink together?"
Duan Yu smiled and said: "The best, the best!" He told the bartender to take the cups and chopsticks, moved them to the big Han banquet and sat down, and asked for his name.The big man said with a smile: "Brother, why bother to ask the question? Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing for everyone to drink a few bowls regardless of their behavior? Once the enemy is clear, there will be no aftertaste." Duan Yu said with a smile: "Brother must have admitted the wrong person , thought I was an enemy. But the word 'informal', I like it the most, please, please!" He poured out a glass of wine and drank it down.
The big man smiled and said: "Brother, it's refreshing, but your wine glass is too small." He shouted: "Barman, bring two big bowls and beat ten catties of sorghum." The bartender and Duan Yu heard "Ten catties The word "sorghum" shocked everyone.The bartender smiled apologetically and said, "Master, can you finish drinking ten catties of sorghum?" The big man pointed to Duan Yu and said, "This young master treats guests, why do you save money for him? Ten catties is not enough, buy twenty catties." The bartender He smiled and said, "Yes! Yes!" After a while, he took two large bowls and a large jar of wine and put them on the table.
The big man said: "Pour two bowls full." The bartender poured it as he said.After pouring the two full bowls of wine, Duan Yudeng felt the pungent smell of wine and felt uncomfortable.When he was in Dali, he only drank a few glasses occasionally, and he couldn't help frowning when he had seen such a big bowl of drinking.
The big man said with a smile: "Let's drink ten bowls first, how about it?" Duan Yu saw that his eyes were full of sarcasm and contempt. Suffering from indifference in the Perfume Pavilion, he thought again: "This big man looks like he is probably from Mr. Murong's group. He is not Mr. Deng, Mr. Gongye, or Mr. Feng. He has already made an appointment with him to compete in martial arts in Huishan Dou, the opponent is either the Beggar Gang, or the Western Xia 'Yipintang'. Hmph, what's the matter with Mr. Murong? I don't accept the contempt of his subordinates, at most I die drunk, what's the big deal?" He raised his chest and said loudly : "I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman, and I will lose my composure after drinking later, brother." He picked up a bowl of wine and drank it down.He drank this big bowl of wine out of anger, although Wang Yuyan was not around, he was no different from drinking it to her, he was competing with Murong Fu, he would never admit defeat in front of his sweetheart, let alone a big bowl of strong wine Wine, even poisonous wine and poison, drank it without hesitation.
Seeing that he drank so boldly, the big man was quite surprised, he laughed and said: "It's refreshing!" He picked up the bowl, raised his neck and drank it, and then poured two more bowls.
Duan Yu smiled and said: "Good wine, good wine!" He took a deep breath and drank another bowl of wine.The big man also drank a bowl, and poured two more bowls.This big bowl weighed half a catty, Duan Yu drank a catty of spirits, his stomach felt like a raging fire was burning, his mind was in chaos, but he was still thinking: "What's wrong with Murong Fu? Is he okay? ? How can I lose to his subordinates?" Picking up the third bowl of wine, he drank it down again.
Seeing that he was suddenly drunk, the big man laughed secretly, knowing that he would fall drunk to the ground within a short time after drinking the third bowl of wine.
Before Duan Yu drank the third bowl of wine, he already felt disgusted and wanted to vomit, and when half a catty of strong wine was poured into his belly, his internal organs seemed to be turned upside down.He closed his mouth tightly, not letting the wine in his belly vomit out.Suddenly there was a movement in the dantian, a surge of true energy rushed up, I felt the inner breath churning and agitated, it was similar to the scene when the true energy could not be absorbed that day, and immediately followed the method taught by my uncle to absorb the true energy Big cone hole.The alcohol in the body surged, and it actually mixed with the real energy. Alcohol is a tangible and qualitative thing, unlike the real energy, the internal energy can live in the acupuncture points.He couldn't settle down, so he had to let it be, let the zhenqi go from Tianzong acupoint to Jianzhen acupoint, then pass through Xiaohai, Zhizheng, and Nianyang acupoints on his left arm to Yanggu, Houhuo, Qianyang acupoints on his palm. Gu Zhu acupoints, and then pour out from the Shaoze acupoint on the little finger.The line of true energy he is transporting at this time is the "Shaoze Sword" among the six-meridian swords.The Shaoze sword was originally a vigorous and invisible sword energy, but at this moment, a stream of wine flowed out from the little finger of his left hand.
At the beginning, Yu didn't notice it, but after a while, he became clear-headed and noticed that the wine was flowing from his little fingertip, and he cried secretly: "It's so wonderful!" His left hand was hanging down to the ground, the big man didn't pay attention, only saw Duan Yu Originally drunk and hazy, but after a while, he was radiant, and he couldn't help but secretly wondered, and said with a smile: "Brother Taiwan's alcohol capacity is not weak, it really is interesting." He poured two more bowls.
Duan Yu laughed and said: "My drinking capacity varies from person to person. As the saying goes: A thousand cups of wine is less than a bosom friend. This big bowl, I think, is only about twenty cups, and a thousand cups must be filled with forty or fifty cups. The bowl is enough. Brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink fifty big bowls." Then he drank the big bowl of wine in front of him, and then got lucky according to the law.He rested his left hand on the railing facing the window of the restaurant, and the wine that flowed from his little fingertip flowed along the railing to the foot of the wall downstairs.In a short while, all the four bowls of wine he drank had been forced out.
The big man was very happy to see Duan Yu nonchalantly pouring down four bowls of spirits, and said: "Very good, very good, there are only a few thousand cups of wine for a bosom friend, so I will do it first as a respect." bowl, poured two more bowls for Duan Yu.Duan Yu downplayed it, chatted and laughed happily and drank it. Drinking this strong wine is more chic than drinking water and tea.
When the two of them gambled, the drinkers upstairs and downstairs of Songhe Tower were immediately alarmed. Even the cook and fireman under the stove also went upstairs to watch around their table.
The big man said: "Bartender, bring another twenty catties of wine!" The bartender stuck out his tongue, but at this moment he just wanted to watch the fun, let alone dissuade him, so he went to carry a large jar of wine.
Duan Yu and the big man had one bowl for you and one bowl for me, and they were evenly matched. In just one meal, both of them had already drank about thirty bowls.
Duan Yu knew that he was playing tricks with his fingers, the strong wine just circulated in his body and then poured out instantly, his drinking capacity can be said to be endless, but the big man relied on his real skills, seeing him drink more than thirty bowls in a row, He didn't change his countenance, he didn't feel a little bit drunk, he admired him very much, at first he was hostile because he was part of Mr. Murong's group, but seeing his heroic expression, he couldn't help but cherish him, thinking: "So If the competition continues, I will win without losing. But this man drinks too much, it will hurt his health." When Kankan drank forty bowls, he said: "Dear brother, we both have drunk forty bowls, right? "
The big man smiled and said: "Brother is still very clear-headed, the number is clear." Duan Yu said with a smile: "You and I meet opponents in chess and meet good talents. I am afraid it will be very difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. This way the general will Go down, but the money for the wine beside me is not enough." Reaching out from the cup, he took out an embroidered pouch, and threw it on the table, only to hear a soft clicking sound, obviously there was no gold or silver in the pouch.Duan Yu was captured by Jiumozhi from Dali, he didn't bring any belongings with him, this embroidered pouch is wrapped with gold and silver threads, it can be seen at a glance that it is a valuable item, but it can be seen at a glance that it is shy.
The big man laughed when he saw it, took out a piece of silver from his side, threw it on the table, took Duan Yu's hand, and said: "Let's go!"
Duan Yu was delighted in his heart, when he was in Dali, as a prince, apart from Zhu Danchen and other guards, it was difficult for him to make any sincere friends, today he made friends with him neither by his surname, nor by his literary talent or martial arts, but by his capacity for drinking out of thin air This man is truly unprecedented in his life.
When the two of them came downstairs, the big man walked faster and faster. After leaving the city, he took big strides and rushed forward along the main road. Duan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and walked side by side with him. Extremely full of energy, he walked so fast that he didn't feel his heart beating at all.The big man glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, let's compete on our legs." Immediately he walked quickly.
Duan Yu followed and ran a few steps, but because he was in a hurry, he staggered and nearly fell, took advantage of the momentum and took half a step to the left, and then he stood still, this time he just stepped on the steps in "Lingbo Weibu".He took this step unintentionally, and actually jumped a few feet ahead, he was overjoyed, and the second step was "Lingbo Weibu", and he caught up with the big man.The two walked forward side by side, only to hear the whistling of the wind, and the trees beside the road passing by one after another.
When Duan Yu was learning the "Lingbo Weibu", he never thought of competing with others for his foot strength, at this moment he was like an arrow on the string, he had to do it, he could only do his best, as for beating the big man, he had no intention of winning.He only followed the footwork he had learned, coupled with his incomparably strong inner strength, and stepped forward step by step, but he didn't care about the big man who was at the front and behind at all.
The big man took big strides, walking faster and faster, he was far ahead of Duan Yu in an instant, but as long as he took a few breaths, Duan Yu would catch up.The big man squinted at each other, seeing Duan Yu's handsome figure, as if he was walking leisurely in court, his steps were not at all domineering, he secretly admired him, quickened a few steps, and left him behind, but Duan Yu soon chased after him superior.After several attempts like this, the big man knows that Duan Yu's internal strength is stronger than his own, so it's not difficult to beat him within a few dozen miles, but it's hard to say the number of victories or defeats when it reaches thirty or forty miles. , Compared to sixty miles away, I have to lose.He laughed, stopped and said: "Young Master Murong, Qiao Feng can convince you today. Gusu Murong really lives up to his reputation."
Duan Yu rushed past him in a few steps, turned back immediately, heard him call himself "Mr. Murong", and hurriedly said: "My younger brother's surname is Duan Mingyu, brother, I have mistaken him."
The big man looked surprised, and said: "What? You... You are not Murong Fu, Mr. Murong?"
Duan Yu smiled and said: "My little brother came to the south of the Yangtze River, and I heard a lot of Mr. Murong's name every day. I really admire him very much, but I haven't had the chance to meet him so far." He thought to himself: "This man mistook me for Murong Fu, then he It's not Murong Fu's gang." Thinking of this, he became more fond of him, and asked: "Brother, you know your name, but is it Qiao Mingfeng?"
The big man's expression of astonishment had not faded away, he said: "That's right, I'm going down to Qiao Feng." Duan Yu said: "My younger brother is from Dali, it's really a great luck to meet such a hero as Brother Qiao when he first came to the south of the Yangtze River. "Qiao Feng pondered: "Well, you are a child of the Duan family in Dali, no wonder, no wonder. Brother Duan, what is your purpose in coming to the south of the Yangtze River?"
Duan Yu said: "I'm ashamed to say, my younger brother was captured by someone." Then he briefly described how he was captured by Jiumozhi, how he met Murong Fu's two servant girls and so on.Although it's a long story short, it doesn't hide anything, and it doesn't cover up all kinds of unlucky scandals.
After Qiao Feng heard this, he was both surprised and happy, and said: "Brother Duan, you are very straightforward, I have never met in my life, you and I hit it off right away, how about we become Jinlan brothers?" Duan Yuxi said: "Young brother, I can't wish for it. "The two talked about their ages, Qiao Feng was eleven years older than Duan Yu, so he was naturally the elder brother.At present, the pinch of earth is incense, and I bowed to the sky eight times. One is called "Xiandi" and the other is called "Big Brother". They are all very happy.
Duan Yu said: "Little brother is on the Songhe Tower, and I heard that elder brother has made a date with the enemy for tomorrow morning. Although younger brother does not know martial arts, he also wants to see the excitement. Can elder brother agree?"
Qiao Feng asked him a few questions, and found that he really didn't know martial arts at all, so he couldn't help being amazed, and said: "My dear brother has such internal strength, if you want to learn high-quality martial arts, it's like finding something out of a pocket, there is absolutely no difficulty. My dear brother wants to watch it. There is nothing wrong with fighting tomorrow morning, but I am afraid that the enemy will attack viciously, so my brother must not show up rashly." Duan Yuxi said: "Of course you should follow the order of the elder brother." Qiao Feng laughed: "It is too early now, You and my brothers go back to Wuxi City, drink for a while, and then go to Huishan at no later time."
When Duan Yu heard that he was going to drink again, he couldn't help being startled, thinking: "I just drank forty bowls of wine, and after a while, he's going to drink again." Then he said: "Brother, younger brother will bet with you Liquor, it’s actually a lie to you, big brother, don’t blame me!” Then he explained that Zensheng used his internal force to force the liquor out from the “Shaoze point” on his little finger.Qiao Feng said in shock: "Brother, you... Are you the miraculous skill of the 'Six Meridians Excalibur'?" Duan Yu said: "Exactly, my little brother has learned it not long ago, but I'm still very unfamiliar with it."
Qiao Feng was stunned for a while, then sighed: "I once heard from my family teacher that it was said in the martial arts that the Duan family in Dali has a 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' kung fu, which can kill people with invisible sword energy, I don't know if it is true or not. It turns out that there really is such a magical skill.”
Duan Yu said: "Actually, this kung fu is useless except for cheating when gambling with elder brother. I was captured by monk Jiumozhina, so there is no way to fight back. People in the world exaggerate this six-veined sword, In fact, it’s not an exaggeration. Big brother, alcohol can hurt people, so it must be done in moderation, I don’t think we can drink any more today.”
Qiao Feng laughed loudly, and said: "Your advice is correct. It's just that brother Yu is as healthy as an ox. He loves wine since he was a child, and the more he drinks, the more energetic he becomes. When the enemy faces the enemy tomorrow morning, he must drink more alcohol and deal with them well. some."
The two said that they would return to Wuxi City, this time they would not compete with each other and walked slowly side by side. Duan Yu married a good friend and was in a happy mood, but Yu Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan couldn't forget it. After chatting for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Brother, you mistook the younger brother as Mr. Murong earlier, could it be that Mr. Murong's appearance How similar is it to my younger brother?" Qiao Feng said: "I've always heard the name of the Murong family in Gusu. This time I came to Jiangnan for him. I heard that Murong Fu is elegant and handsome. He is about twenty-eight or nineteen years old. He is older than my virtuous brother. I am quite a few years old, but I definitely never thought that Jiangnan besides Murong Fu, there is another young master with strong martial arts and handsome appearance, so I am ashamed to admit the wrong person." Duan Yu heard him say that Murong Fu was "superior in martial arts and handsome in appearance", his heart was sour and unhelpful, and he asked again: "Brother came to look for him from afar, do you want to make him a friend?" Qiao Feng sighed, his expression was gloomy, he shook his head and said: "I was hoping to make this friend, but I'm afraid I won't be able to." Duan Yu asked: "Why?" Qiao Feng said: "I have a close friend , died of an accident half a year ago, everyone said it was Murong Fu's murderous hand." Duan Yu said sternly: "Use the same way, return it to him!" Qiao Feng said: "That's right. The fatal injury my friend suffered, It is because of his famous stunt." Speaking of this, his voice was choked up and his expression was sour.He paused, and then said: "However, things in Jianghu are full of strange and unpredictable things. We can't just rely on rumors to convict people rashly. Brother Yu came to Jiangnan to find out the truth. .” Duan Yu said: "What is the truth?" Qiao Feng shook his head and said: "It's very difficult to say at this time. My friend has been famous for a long time, he is upright, modest, and has always acted prudently, so he won't offend Murong for no reason. Young Master. It is really puzzling why he was plotted against." Duan Yu nodded and thought to himself: "Brother looks rough on the outside, but is very delicate on the inside, unlike Mr. Huo, Guo Yanzhi, Sima Lin and the others who insist that Mr. Murong is the murderer without first investigating in detail." He asked again: " But who are the powerful enemies who promised to meet in the Ming Dynasty with elder brother?" Qiao Feng said: "That's..." He only said two words, when he saw two beggar-like men in ragged clothes rushing towards him on the road, Qiao Feng immediately stopped talking.Those two performed lightness kung fu, rushed to the front in a blink of an eye, bowed together, and one of them said: "I would like to report to the leader, there are four ideas to break into the 'Dayi sub-rudder'. , I am afraid that I will not be able to resist, so I ordered my subordinates to ask 'Daren to divide the helm' to send people to help." Duan Yu heard those two call Qiao Feng "Big Brother", he looked extremely respectful, and thought, "Brother is the leader of a gang." Remembering that lame man called him "Big Brother" earlier, he expected them to be in a crowded place Don't call him "Guangzhu" to avoid revealing his identity. Qiao Feng nodded, and asked: "Who are the ideas?" A man said: "Three of them are women, and one is a tall, thin, middle-aged man, very rude." Qiao Feng hummed With a sound, he said: "Jiang Ruozhu is too careful, the other party is only single, so he can't deal with it?" The man said: "To the leader, those three women seem to have martial arts." Qiao Feng smiled, Said: "Okay, I'll go and have a look." The two men showed joy and responded in unison: "Yes!" They lowered their hands and flashed behind Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng said to Duan Yu: "Brother, are you going with me?" Duan Yu said: "Naturally!" Two men led the way, walked about a mile, turned to the left, and zigzagged onto the country track.This area is fertile and fertile, and rivers and ports cross everywhere. After walking for several miles, he passed an apricot grove. Duan Yu glanced at it, but saw the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, the clouds were steaming and the clouds were glowing, and there was a mass of red flowers for a long time. Qi Ci's red apricot branches make trouble in spring', the word 'cao' is really well used." Only a yin and yang voice came from the apricot blossoms: "I, brother Murong, went to Luoyang to meet your clan leader, why? All of you beggars have come to Wuxi? Isn’t this a deliberate avoidance? You are timid and fearful, so it doesn’t matter. Wouldn’t it make my brother Murong so tired that I would go for nothing? It’s unreasonable, really unreasonable! " As soon as Duan Yu heard this voice, his heart was beating wildly. It was Mr. Bao San who was full of "yes and nos". He thought again: "Brother Zhu once said that the Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world. Could it be that I have worshiped the leader of the Beggar Gang today?" Only a person with a northern accent said loudly: "Did Mr. Murong make a date with the leader of the gang Qiao in advance?" Bao Budong said: "It's the same whether you make an appointment or not. Since Mr. Murong went to Luoyang, the leader of the beggar gang Can't walk away on his own, let him go in vain. How can it be reasonable, what is the real reason!" The man said: "Does Mr. Murong have any letter to inform our gang?" Bao Budong said: "How do I know? I am not Mr. Murong, You're not the head of the beggar gang, how would you know? Your question is too unreasonable, it's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!" Qiao Feng's face sank, and he strode into the forest.Duan Yu followed behind, but saw two people standing opposite each other in Xingzi Forest.Three girls stood behind Bao Differing.Once Duan Yu's gaze touched the face of one of the girls, he couldn't take it away. That girl is naturally Wang Yuyan, she gave a soft moan and said: "You're here too?" Duan Yu said: "I'm here too." He just stared at her bewilderedly.Wang Yuyan's cheeks were flushed, she turned her head away, thinking: "This man looks at me like that, how rude." But she knew that Duan Yu admired her very much, so she couldn't help being secretly happy, but she wasn't worried.The two daughters behind her, Azhu and Abi, smiled and greeted: "Young Master Duan!" Duan Yu happily returned the salute, and said, "Sisters Azhu and Abi." He added in his heart: "Little sister, Abi." Abi Yan Ran smiled, her cheeks suddenly flushed. Standing in the apricot grove opposite Bao BuTong was a group of ragged Huazi. The first person saw Qiao Feng's arrival and was very happy, so he rushed to meet him. See helper below." Qiao Feng cupped his fists and said, "Hello, brothers." Bao BuTong still had an arrogant expression, and said: "Well, is this the Qiao Gang leader of the Beggar Gang? Brother Bao BuTong, you must have heard my name." Qiao Feng said: "So it's Mr. Bao San, I have been famous for a long time, and today I am honored to see you, it is a great blessing." Bao Tongtong said: "No, no! What kind of fame do I have? I do have a bad reputation in the world. Everyone knows that I have caused trouble all my life. , hurting people, being weird. Hehehe, Chief Qiao, it’s your fault that you came to Jiangnan casually.” The Beggars' Gang is the largest gang in the world, the identity of the gang leader is so respected, and all gang members respect the gang leader like a god.Seeing that Bao BuTong was so rude to the gang leader, everyone was very indignant when he blamed him as soon as he opened his mouth.The six or seven people standing behind the rudder leader Jiang rudder of Dayi Division were either pressing the handle of the knife, or rubbing their fists, all eager to move. Qiao Feng said indifferently: "It's up to me, Mr. Bao San, please advise." Bao BuTong said: "My Murong brothers know that you are the leader of Qiao Gang, and know that there are quite a few talents in the Beggar Gang, so they went to Luoyang to pay a visit to Your Excellency. How did you come to Jiangnan with your own pleasure? Hehe, what's the reason, what's the reason!" Qiao Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Young Master Murong is coming to our Luoyang gang, if I know the news in advance, I will definitely wait for you, and thank you in advance for the crime of not welcoming you." He clasped his fists as he spoke. Duan Yu secretly praised in his heart: "Brother, these few words are so tactful, it really is the demeanor of the leader of a gang, if he loses his temper with Mr. Bao San, it will be demeaning." Unexpectedly, Bao Budong accepted it without doubt, nodded, and said: "This crime of being unwelcome is indeed to be thanked, although the saying is good: those who do not know are not guilty. But it is up to others to decide whether to punish or beat what!" He was talking complacently, when suddenly he heard several people behind the apricot grove laughing in unison, the sound shook the sky.Amidst the loud laughter, someone said: "I have heard that Jiangnan Baodong likes to release dogs, and it really deserves its reputation." Bao BuTong said: "I've heard loud farts don't stink, and stinky farts don't stink, but the shit just now was both loud and stinky. Could it be that the six elders of the beggar gang let it go?" 杏树后那人道：“包不同既知丐帮六老的名头，为何还在这里胡言乱语？”话声甫歇，杏树丛后走出四名老者，有的白须白发，有的红光满面，手中各持兵刃，分占四角，将包不同、王语嫣、阿朱、阿碧四人围住了。 包不同自然知道，丐帮乃江湖上一等一的大帮会，帮中高手如云，帮主乔峰固然英雄了得，丐帮六老更是望重武林，但他性子高傲，自幼便是天不怕、地不怕的脾气，眼见丐帮六老中倒有四老现身，隐然合围，暗叫：“糟糕，糟糕，今日包三先生只怕要英名扫地。”但脸上丝毫不现惧色，说道：“四个老儿有何见教？想要跟包三先生打上一架么？为什么还有两个老儿不一齐上来？偷偷埋伏在一旁，想对包三先生横施暗算么？很好，很好，好得很！包三先生最爱的便是打架。” 忽然间半空中一人说道：“世间最爱打架的是谁？是包三先生吗？非也，非也！那是江南一阵风风波恶。” 段誉抬起头来，只见一株杏树的树枝上站着一人，树枝不住晃动，那人便随着树枝上下起伏。那人身形瘦小，约莫三十二三岁年纪，面颊凹陷，留着两撇鼠尾须，眉毛下垂，容貌十分丑陋。段誉心道：“看来这人便是阿朱、阿碧所说的风四爷了。”果然听得阿碧叫道：“风四爷，你听到了公子的讯息么？” 风波恶叫道：“好啊，今天找到了好对手。阿朱、阿碧，公子的事，待会再说不迟。”半空中一个倒栽筋斗翻将下来，向北方那身材矮胖的老者扑去。 那老者手持一条钢杖，陡然向前挺出，点向风波恶小腹。这条钢杖有鹅蛋粗细，挺出时势挟劲风，甚是威猛。风波恶猱身直上，伸手便去夺那钢杖。那老者手腕一抖，钢杖翻起，点向他胸口。风波恶叫道“妙极！”突然矮身，去抓对方腰胁。那矮胖老者钢杖已打在外门，见敌人欺近身来，收杖抵御已然不及，当即飞腿踢他腰胯。 风波恶斜身闪过，扑到东首那红脸老者身前，白光耀眼，他手中已多了一柄单刀，横砍而至。红脸老者手中拿的是柄鬼头刀，背厚刃薄，刀身甚长，见风波恶挥刀削来，鬼头刀竖立，以刀碰刀，往他刀刃上硬碰过去。风波恶叫道：“你兵刃厉害，不跟你碰。”倒纵丈许，反手一刀，砍向南边的白须老者。 白须老者右手握着一根铁锏，锏上生满倒齿，可用来锁拿敌人兵刃。他见风波恶单刀反砍，而红脸老者的鬼头刀尚未收势，倘若自己就此上前招架，便成了前后夹击之势。他自重身份，不愿以二对一，当即飘身避开，让了他一招。 岂知风波恶好斗成性，越打得热闹，越感过瘾，至于谁胜谁败，倒不如何计较，而打斗的种种规矩更从来不守。白须老者这一下闪身而退，谁都知道他有意相让，风波恶却全不理会这些武林中的礼节过门，眼见有隙可乘，向他呼呼呼呼地连砍四刀，全是进手招数，势若飘风，迅捷无比。 白须老者没想到他竟会趁机相攻，实在无理已极，忙挥锏招架，连退了四步方始稳定身形。这时他背心靠到了一株杏子树上，已然退无可退，横过铁锏，呼的一锏打出，这是他转守为攻的杀手锏之一。哪知风波恶喝道：“再打一个。”竟不架而退，单刀舞成圈子，向丐帮的第四位长老旋削过去。白须长老这一锏打出，敌人已远远退开，只恼得他连连吹气，白须高扬。 这第四位长老两条手臂甚长，左手中提着一件软软的兵刃，见风波恶攻到，左臂一提，抖开兵刃，竟是一只装米的麻袋。麻袋受风吹鼓，口子张开，便向风波恶头顶罩落。 风波恶又惊又喜，大叫：“妙极，妙极，我和你打！”他生平最爱的便是打架，倘若对手身有古怪武功，或是奇异兵刃，那更加心花怒放，就像喜爱游览之人见到奇山大川，讲究饮食之人尝到新奇美味一般。眼见对方以一只粗麻布袋作武器，他从来没和这种兵刃交过手，连听也没听见过，喜悦之余，暗增戒惧，小心冀冀地以刀尖戳去，要试试是否能用刀割破麻袋。长臂老者陡然间袋交右手，左臂回转，挥拳往他面门击去。 风波恶仰头避过，正要反刀去撩他下阴，哪知道长臂老者练成了极高明的“通臂拳”功夫，这一拳似乎拳力已尽，偏是力尽处又有新力生出，拳头更向前伸了半尺。幸得风波恶一生好斗，大战小斗经历了数千场，应变经验之丰，当世不作第二人想，百忙中张开口来，便往他拳头上咬落。长臂老者满拟这一拳可将他牙齿打落几枚，哪料得到拳头将到他口边，他一口白森森的牙齿竟然咬了过来，急忙缩手，已然迟了一步，“啊”的一声大叫，指根处已被他咬出血来。旁观众人有的破口而骂，有的哈哈大笑。 包不同一本正经地道：“风四弟，你这招'吕洞宾咬狗'，名不虚传，果然已练到了出神入化的境地，不枉你十载寒暑的苦练之功，咬死了一千八百条白狗、黑狗、花狗，方有今日的修为造诣”。王语嫣和阿朱、阿碧都笑了起来。 段誉笑道：“王姑娘，天下武学，你无所不知，无所不晓。这一招咬人的功夫，却属于何门何派？”王语嫣微微一笑，说道：“这是风四哥的独门功夫，我可不懂了。”包不同道：“你不懂？嘿嘿，太也孤陋寡闻了。'吕洞宾咬狗大九式'，每一式各有正反八种咬法，八九七十二，一共七十二咬。这是很高深的武功啊。”段誉见王语嫣欢喜，听包不同如此胡说八道，也想跟着说笑几句，猛地想起：“那长臂老者是乔大哥的下属，我怎可取笑于他？”急忙住口。 这时场中呼呼风响，但见长臂老者将麻袋舞成一团黄影，似已将风波恶笼罩在内。但风波恶刀法精奇，遮拦进击，尽自抵敌得住。只是麻袋上的招数尚未见底，通臂拳的厉害他适才却已领教过，“吕洞宾咬狗”这一招，毕竟只能侥幸得逞，可一咬而不可再咬，而实情也并无“咬狗大九式”七十二咬，是以不敢有丝毫轻忽。 乔峰见风波恶居然能和丐帮四老之一的长臂叟陈长老恶斗百余招而不落败，心下也暗暗称奇，对慕容公子又看得高了一层。丐帮其余三位长老各自退在一旁，凝神观斗。 阿碧见风波恶久战不下，担起忧来，问王语嫣道：“王姑娘，这位长臂老先生使一只麻袋，那是什么武功？”王语嫣皱眉道：“这路武功我在书上没见过，他拳脚是通臂拳，使那麻袋的手法，有大别山回打软鞭十三式的劲道，也夹着湖北阮家八十一路三节棍的套子，瞧来那麻袋的功夫是他自己独创的。” 她这几句话说得并不甚响，但“大别山回打软鞭十三式”以及“湖北阮家八十一路三节棍”这两个名称，听在长臂叟耳中却如轰轰雷鸣一般。他本是湖北阮家的子弟，三节棍是家传的功夫，后来杀了本家长辈，犯了大罪，于是改姓换名，流落江湖，舍弃三节棍决不再用，改学通臂拳和软鞭功夫，再也无人得知他本来面目。不料幼时所学的武功虽竭力摒弃，到了剧斗酣战之际，自然而然地便露了出来，心下大惊：“这女娃儿怎地得知我的底细？”他还道自己隐瞒了数十年的旧事已为她所知，这么一分心，被风波恶连攻数刀，竟有抵挡不住之势。 他连退三步，斜身急走，眼见风波恶挥刀砍到，当即飞起左足，往他右手手腕上踢去。风波恶单刀斜挥，径自砍他左足。长臂叟右足跟着踢出，鸳鸯连环，身子已跃在半空。风波恶见他恁大年纪，身手矫健，不减少年，不由得一声喝彩：“好！”左手呼的一拳击出，打向他的膝盖。眼见长臂叟身在半空，难以移动身形，这一拳只要打实了，膝盖纵不碎裂，腿骨也必折断。 风波恶见自己这一拳距他膝头已近，对方仍不变招，蓦觉风声劲急，对方手中的麻袋张开大口，往自己头顶罩落。他这拳虽能打断长臂叟的腿骨，但自己老大一个脑袋被人家套在麻袋之中，岂不糟糕之极？这一拳直击急忙改为横扫，要将麻袋挥开。长臂叟右手微侧，麻袋口一转，已套住了他拳头。 麻袋的大口和风波恶小小一个拳头相差太远，套中容易，却决计裹他不住。风波恶手一缩，便从麻袋中抽出。突然间手背上微微一痛，似被细针刺了一下，垂目看时，吓了一跳，只见一只小小蝎子钉上了自己手背。这只蝎子比常蝎为小，但五色斑斓，模样可怖。风波恶情知不妙，用力甩动，但蝎子尾巴牢牢钉住了他手背，怎么也甩之不脱。 风波恶急忙翻转左手，手背往自己单刀刀背上拍落，嚓的一声轻响，五色蝎子立时烂成一团。但长臂叟既从麻袋中放了这头蝎子出来，决不是好相与之物，寻常一个丐帮子弟，所使毒物已十分厉害，何况是六大长老中的一老？他立即跃开丈许，从怀中取出一颗解毒丸，抛入口中吞下。 长臂叟也不追击，收起了麻袋，不住向王语嫣打量，寻思：“这女娃儿如何得知我是湖北阮家的？” 包不同甚是关心，忙问：“四弟觉得如何？”风波恶左手挥了两下，觉得并无异状，大是不解：“麻袋中暗藏五色小蝎，决不能没有古怪。”说道：“没什么……”只说得这三个字，突然间咕咚一声，向前仆摔下去。包不同急忙扶起，连问：“怎么？怎么？”只见他脸上肌肉僵硬，笑得极是勉强。 包不同大惊，忙点了他左手手腕、肘节和肩头三处关节中的六处穴道，要止住毒气上行，岂知那五色彩蝎的毒性行得快速之极，虽非见血封喉，却也是如响斯应，比一般毒蛇的毒性发作得更快。风波恶张开了口想说话，却只发出几下极难听的哑哑之声。包不同眼见毒性厉害，只怕已无法医治，悲愤难当，一声大吼，向长臂老者扑去。 那手持钢杖的矮胖老者叫道：“想车轮战么？让我矮冬瓜来会会苏州的英豪。”钢杖递出，点向包不同。这兵刃本来甚为沉重，但他举重若轻，出招灵动，直如一柄长剑一般。包不同虽然气愤忧急，但对手大是劲敌，不敢怠慢，只想擒住这矮胖长老，逼长臂叟取出解药来救治风四弟，当下施展擒拿手，从钢杖的空隙中招招进袭。 阿朱、阿碧分站风波恶两侧，都目中含泪，只叫：“四爷，四爷！” 王语嫣于使毒、治毒的法门一窍不通，心下大悔：“我看过的武学书籍之中，讲到治毒法门的着实不少，偏生我以为没什么用处，瞧也不瞧。当时只消看上几眼，多多少少能记得一些，此刻总不至束手无策，眼睁睁地让风四哥死于非命。” 乔峰见包不同与矮长老势均力故，非片刻间能分胜败，向长臂叟道：“陈长老，请你给这位风四爷解了毒吧！”长臂叟陈长老一怔，道：“帮主，此人好生无礼，武功倒也不弱，救活了后患不小。”乔峰点头道：“话是不错。但咱们尚未跟正主儿朝过相，先伤他的下属，未免有恃强凌弱之嫌。咱们还是先站定了脚跟，占住了理数。”陈长老气愤愤地道：“马副帮主明明是那姓慕容的小子所害，报仇雪恨，还有什么仁义理数好说。”乔峰脸上微有不悦之色，道：“你先给他解了毒，其余的事慢慢再说不迟。” 陈长老心中虽一百个不愿意，但不敢违拗帮主之命，说道：“是。”从怀中取出一个小瓶，走上几步，向阿朱和阿碧道：“我家帮主仁义为先，这是解药，拿去吧！” 阿碧大喜，忙走上前去，先向乔峰恭恭敬敬地行了一礼，又向陈长老福了福，道：“多谢乔帮主，多谢陈长老。”接过了那小瓶，问道：“请问长老，这解药如何用法？”陈长老道：“吸尽伤口中的毒液之后，将解药敷上。”他顿了一顿，又道：“毒液若未吸尽，解药敷上去有害无益，不可不知。”阿碧道：“是！”回身拿起了风波恶的手掌，张口便要去吸他手背上创口中的毒液。 陈长老大声喝道：“且慢！”阿碧一愕，问道：“怎么？”陈长老道：“女子吸不得！”阿碧脸上微微一红，道：“女子怎么了？”陈长老道：“这蝎毒是阴寒之毒，女子性阴，阴上加阴，毒性更增。” 阿碧、阿朱、王语嫣三人都将信将疑，虽觉这话有些古怪，但也不是全然无理，倘若真的毒上加毒，那可不妙；自己这边只剩下包不同是男人，然他与矮老者剧斗正酣，只见杖影点点，掌势飘飘，一时间难以收手。阿朱叫道：“三哥，暂且罢斗，且回来救了四爷再说。” 但包不同的武功和那矮老者在伯仲之间，一交上了手，要想脱身而退，却也不是数招内便能办到。高手比武，每一招均牵连生死，要是谁能进退自如，那便可随手取了对方性命，岂能要来便来、要去便去？包不同听到阿朱的呼叫，心知风波恶伤势有变，心下焦急，抢攻数招，只盼摆脱矮老者的纠缠。 矮老者与包不同激斗已逾百招，虽仍属平手之局，但自己持了威力极强的长大兵刃，对方却是空手，强弱显已分明。矮老者挥舞钢杖，连环进击，均为包不同一一化解，情知再斗下去，自己多半有输无赢，待见包不同攻势转盛，还道他想一举击败自己，当下全力反击。丐帮四老在武功上个个有独到造诣，青城派的诸保昆、司马林、秦家寨的姚伯当都被包不同在谈笑之间轻易打发，这矮老者却着实不易对付。包不同虽占上风，但要真的胜得一招半式，却也着实艰难。 乔峰见王语嫣等三个少女脸色惊惶，想起陈长老所饲彩蝎毒性厉害，也不知“女子不能吸毒”之言是真是假。他若命属下攻击敌人，情势便再凶险百倍，也无人敢生怨心，但要人甘冒送命之险去救治敌人，这号令可无论如何不能出口，当即说道：“我来给风四爷吸毒好了。”说着便走向风波恶身旁。 段誉见到王语嫣的愁容，早就有意为风波恶吸去手上毒液，但想乔峰是结义兄长，自己去助他敌人，于金兰之义不免有亏，虽听乔峰曾命陈长老取出解药，却不知他是真情还是假意。待见乔峰走向风波恶身前，真的要助他除毒，忙道：“大哥，让小弟来吸好了。”一步跨出，自然而然是“凌波微步”中的步法，身形侧处，已抢在乔峰之前，抓起风波恶左手手掌，张口便往他手背上的创口吸去。 其时风波恶一只手掌已全成黑色，双眼大睁，连眼皮肌肉也已僵硬，无法合上。段誉吸出一口毒血，吐在地下，只见那毒血色如黑墨，众人看了，均觉骇异。段誉还待再吸，却见伤口中汩汩地流出黑血。段誉一怔，心道：“让这黑血流去后再吸较妥。”他不知只因自己服食过万毒之王的莽牯朱蛤，那是任何毒物的克星，彩蝎的毒质远远不如，一吸之下，便顺势流出。突然风波恶身子一动，说道：“多谢！” 阿朱等尽皆大喜。阿碧道：“四爷，你会说话了。”心里感激，向段誉低声道：“阿哥……多谢你了。”只见黑血渐淡，慢慢变成了紫色，又流一会，紫血变成了深红色。阿碧忙给风波恶敷上解药，乔峰伸手给他解开穴道。顷刻之间，风波恶高高肿起的手背已经平复，说话行动，也已全然如初。 风波恶向段誉深深一揖，道：“多谢公子爷救命之恩。”段誉急忙还礼，道：“些许小事，何足挂齿？”风波恶笑道：“我的性命在公子是小事，在我却是大事。”从阿碧手中接过小瓶，掷向陈长老，道：“还了你的解药。”又向乔峰抱拳道：“乔帮主仁义过人，不愧为武林中第一大帮的首领。风波恶十分佩服。”乔峰抱拳还礼，道：“不敢！” 风波恶拾起单刀，左手指着陈长老道：“今天我输了给你，风波恶甘拜下风，待下次撞到，咱们再打过，今天就不打了。”陈长老微笑道：“自当奉陪。”风波恶一斜身，向手中持锏的长老叫道：“我来领教领教阁下高招。”阿朱、阿碧都大吃一惊，齐声叫道：“四爷不可，你身子尚未复元。”风波恶叫道：“有架不打，枉自为人！”单刀霍霍挥动，身随刀进，已砍向持锏长老。 那使锏的长老白眉白须，成名数十载，江湖上什么人物没会过，然见风波恶片刻之间还是十成中已死了九成，岂知一转眼间，立即又生龙活虎般地杀来，如此凶悍，实所罕有，不禁骇然。他的铁锏本来变化繁复，除了击打扫刺之外，更有锁拿敌人兵刃的奇异手法，这时心下一怯，功夫减了几成，变成了只有招架之功，而无还手之力。 乔峰眉头微皱，心想：“这位风朋友太也不知好歹，我段兄弟好意救了你性命，怎地不分青红皂白地又去乱打？” 眼见包不同和风波恶两人都渐占上风，但也非转眼间即能分出胜败。高手比武，瞬息万变，只要有一招一式使得巧了，或者对手偶有疏忽，原处于劣势者立时便能平反败局。局中四人固然不敢稍有怠忽，旁观各人也均凝神观看。 段誉忽听得东首有不少人快步走来，跟着北方也有人过来，人数更多。段誉向乔峰低声道：“大哥，有人来了！”乔峰也早听见，点了点头，心想：“多半是慕容公子伏下的人马到了。原来这姓包和姓风的两人先来缠住我们，然后大队人手一齐来攻。”正要暗传号令，命帮众先行向西、向南分别撤走，自己和四长老及蒋舵主断后，忽听得西方和南方同时有脚步杂沓之声。却是四面八方都来了敌人。 乔峰低声道：“蒋舵主，南方敌人力道最弱，待会见我手势，立时便率领众兄弟向南退走。”蒋舵主应道：“是！” 便在此时，东方杏子树后奔出五六十人，都是衣衫褴褛，头发蓬乱，或持兵器，或拿破碗竹仗，均是丐帮中帮众。跟着北方也有八九十名丐帮弟子走了出来，各人神色严重，见了乔峰也不行礼，反隐隐含有敌意。 包不同和风波恶陡然间见到有这许多丐帮人众出现，暗自心惊，均想：“如何救得王姑娘、阿朱、阿碧三人脱身才好？” 然而这时最惊讶的却是乔峰。这些人都是本帮帮众，平素对自己极为敬重，只要远远望见，早就奔了过来行礼，何以今日突如其来，连“帮主”也不叫一声？他正大感疑惑，只见西首和南首也赶到了数十名帮众，不多时之间，便将杏林丛中的空地挤满了，然而帮中的首脑人物，除了先到的四大长老和蒋舵主之外，余人均不在内。乔峰越来越惊，掌心中冷汗暗生，他就算遇到最强最恶的敌人，也从来不似此刻这般骇异，只想：“难道丐帮忽生内乱？传功、执法两位长老和分舵舵主遭了毒手？”但包不同、风波恶和二长老兀自激战不休，王语嫣等又在一旁，当着外人之面，不便出言询问。 陈长老忽然高声叫道：“结打狗阵！”东南西北四面的丐帮帮众之中，每一处都奔出十余人、二十余人不等，各持兵刃，将包不同、矮长老等四人围住。 包不同见丐帮顷刻间布成阵势，若要硬闯，自己纵然勉强能全身而退，风波恶中毒后元气大耗，非受重伤不可，要救王语嫣等三人就更加难了。当此情势，莫过于罢手认输，在丐帮群相进击之下，两人因寡不敌众而认输，实于声名无损。但包不同性子执拗，常人认为理所当然之事，他偏偏要反其道而行之，风波恶却又爱斗过于性命，只要有打斗的机会，不论是胜是败，结果是生是死，又不管谁是谁非，总之是恶斗到底再说。是以强弱之势早已分明，包风二人却仍大呼酣战，丝毫不屈。 王语嫣叫道：“包三哥、风四哥，不成了。丐帮这打狗阵，你们两位破不了的，还是及早住手吧。” 风波恶道：“我再打一会，等到真的不成，再住手好了。”他说话时一分心，嗤的一声响，肩头给白须长老扫了一锏，锏上倒
The two said that they would return to Wuxi City, this time they would not compete with each other and walked slowly side by side. Duan Yu married a good friend and was in a happy mood, but Yu Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan couldn't forget it. After chatting for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Brother, you mistook the younger brother as Mr. Murong earlier, could it be that Mr. Murong's appearance How similar is it to my younger brother?" Qiao Feng said: "I've always heard the name of the Murong family in Gusu. This time I came to Jiangnan for him. I heard that Murong Fu is elegant and handsome. He is about twenty-eight or nineteen years old. He is older than my virtuous brother. I am quite a few years old, but I definitely never thought that Jiangnan besides Murong Fu, there is another young master with strong martial arts and handsome appearance, so I am ashamed to admit the wrong person." Duan Yu heard him say that Murong Fu was "superior in martial arts and handsome in appearance", his heart was sour and unhelpful, and he asked again: "Brother came to look for him from afar, do you want to make him a friend?" Qiao Feng sighed, his expression was gloomy, he shook his head and said: "I was hoping to make this friend, but I'm afraid I won't be able to." Duan Yu asked: "Why?" Qiao Feng said: "I have a close friend , died of an accident half a year ago, everyone said it was Murong Fu's murderous hand." Duan Yu said sternly: "Use the same way, return it to him!" Qiao Feng said: "That's right. The fatal injury my friend suffered, It is because of his famous stunt." Speaking of this, his voice was choked up and his expression was sour.He paused, and then said: "However, things in Jianghu are full of strange and unpredictable things. We can't just rely on rumors to convict people rashly. Brother Yu came to Jiangnan to find out the truth. .” Duan Yu said: "What is the truth?" Qiao Feng shook his head and said: "It's very difficult to say at this time. My friend has been famous for a long time, he is upright, modest, and has always acted prudently, so he won't offend Murong for no reason. Young Master. It is really puzzling why he was plotted against." Duan Yu nodded and thought to himself: "Brother looks rough on the outside, but is very delicate on the inside, unlike Mr. Huo, Guo Yanzhi, Sima Lin and the others who insist that Mr. Murong is the murderer without first investigating in detail." He asked again: " But who are the powerful enemies who promised to meet in the Ming Dynasty with elder brother?" Qiao Feng said: "That's..." He only said two words, when he saw two beggar-like men in ragged clothes rushing towards him on the road, Qiao Feng immediately stopped talking.Those two performed lightness kung fu, rushed to the front in a blink of an eye, bowed together, and one of them said: "I would like to report to the leader, there are four ideas to break into the 'Dayi sub-rudder'. , I am afraid that I will not be able to resist, so I ordered my subordinates to ask 'Daren to divide the helm' to send people to help." Duan Yu heard those two call Qiao Feng "Big Brother", he looked extremely respectful, and thought, "Brother is the leader of a gang." Remembering that lame man called him "Big Brother" earlier, he expected them to be in a crowded place Don't call him "Guangzhu" to avoid revealing his identity. Qiao Feng nodded, and asked: "Who are the ideas?" A man said: "Three of them are women, and one is a tall, thin, middle-aged man, very rude." Qiao Feng hummed With a sound, he said: "Jiang Ruozhu is too careful, the other party is only single, so he can't deal with it?" The man said: "To the leader, those three women seem to have martial arts." Qiao Feng smiled, Said: "Okay, I'll go and have a look." The two men showed joy and responded in unison: "Yes!" They lowered their hands and flashed behind Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng said to Duan Yu: "Brother, are you going with me?" Duan Yu said: "Naturally!" Two men led the way, walked about a mile, turned to the left, and zigzagged onto the country track.This area is fertile and fertile, and rivers and ports cross everywhere. After walking for several miles, he passed an apricot grove. Duan Yu glanced at it, but saw the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, the clouds were steaming and the clouds were glowing, and there was a mass of red flowers for a long time. Qi Ci's red apricot branches make trouble in spring', the word 'cao' is really well used." Only a yin and yang voice came from the apricot blossoms: "I, brother Murong, went to Luoyang to meet your clan leader, why? All of you beggars have come to Wuxi? Isn’t this a deliberate avoidance? You are timid and fearful, so it doesn’t matter. Wouldn’t it make my brother Murong so tired that I would go for nothing? It’s unreasonable, really unreasonable! " As soon as Duan Yu heard this voice, his heart was beating wildly. It was Mr. Bao San who was full of "yes and nos". He thought again: "Brother Zhu once said that the Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world. Could it be that I have worshiped the leader of the Beggar Gang today?" Only a person with a northern accent said loudly: "Did Mr. Murong make a date with the leader of the gang Qiao in advance?" Bao Budong said: "It's the same whether you make an appointment or not. Since Mr. Murong went to Luoyang, the leader of the beggar gang Can't walk away on his own, let him go in vain. How can it be reasonable, what is the real reason!" The man said: "Does Mr. Murong have any letter to inform our gang?" Bao Budong said: "How do I know? I am not Mr. Murong, You're not the head of the beggar gang, how would you know? Your question is too unreasonable, it's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!" Qiao Feng's face sank, and he strode into the forest.Duan Yu followed behind, but saw two people standing opposite each other in Xingzi Forest.Three girls stood behind Bao Differing.Once Duan Yu's gaze touched the face of one of the girls, he couldn't take it away. That girl is naturally Wang Yuyan, she gave a soft moan and said: "You're here too?" Duan Yu said: "I'm here too." He just stared at her bewilderedly.Wang Yuyan's cheeks were flushed, she turned her head away, thinking: "This man looks at me like that, how rude." But she knew that Duan Yu admired her very much, so she couldn't help being secretly happy, but she wasn't worried.The two daughters behind her, Azhu and Abi, smiled and greeted: "Young Master Duan!" Duan Yu happily returned the salute, and said, "Sisters Azhu and Abi." He added in his heart: "Little sister, Abi." Abi Yan Ran smiled, her cheeks suddenly flushed. Standing in the apricot grove opposite Bao BuTong was a group of ragged Huazi. The first person saw Qiao Feng's arrival and was very happy, so he rushed to meet him. See helper below." Qiao Feng cupped his fists and said, "Hello, brothers." Bao BuTong still had an arrogant expression, and said: "Well, is this the Qiao Gang leader of the Beggar Gang? Brother Bao BuTong, you must have heard my name." Qiao Feng said: "So it's Mr. Bao San, I have been famous for a long time, and today I am honored to see you, it is a great blessing." Bao Tongtong said: "No, no! What kind of fame do I have? I do have a bad reputation in the world. Everyone knows that I have caused trouble all my life. , hurting people, being weird. Hehehe, Chief Qiao, it’s your fault that you came to Jiangnan casually.” The Beggars' Gang is the largest gang in the world, the identity of the gang leader is so respected, and all gang members respect the gang leader like a god.Seeing that Bao BuTong was so rude to the gang leader, everyone was very indignant when he blamed him as soon as he opened his mouth.The six or seven people standing behind the rudder leader Jiang rudder of Dayi Division were either pressing the handle of the knife, or rubbing their fists, all eager to move. Qiao Feng said indifferently: "It's up to me, Mr. Bao San, please advise." Bao BuTong said: "My Murong brothers know that you are the leader of Qiao Gang, and know that there are quite a few talents in the Beggar Gang, so they went to Luoyang to pay a visit to Your Excellency. How did you come to Jiangnan with your own pleasure? Hehe, what's the reason, what's the reason!" Qiao Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Young Master Murong is coming to our Luoyang gang, if I know the news in advance, I will definitely wait for you, and thank you in advance for the crime of not welcoming you." He clasped his fists as he spoke. Duan Yu secretly praised in his heart: "Brother, these few words are so tactful, it really is the demeanor of the leader of a gang, if he loses his temper with Mr. Bao San, it will be demeaning." Unexpectedly, Bao Budong accepted it without doubt, nodded, and said: "This crime of being unwelcome is indeed to be thanked, although the saying is good: those who do not know are not guilty. But it is up to others to decide whether to punish or beat what!" He was talking complacently, when suddenly he heard several people behind the apricot grove laughing in unison, the sound shook the sky.Amidst the loud laughter, someone said: "I have heard that Jiangnan Baodong likes to release dogs, and it really deserves its reputation." Bao BuTong said: "I've heard loud farts don't stink, and stinky farts don't stink, but the shit just now was both loud and stinky. Could it be that the six elders of the beggar gang let it go?" 杏树后那人道：“包不同既知丐帮六老的名头，为何还在这里胡言乱语？”话声甫歇，杏树丛后走出四名老者，有的白须白发，有的红光满面，手中各持兵刃，分占四角，将包不同、王语嫣、阿朱、阿碧四人围住了。 包不同自然知道，丐帮乃江湖上一等一的大帮会，帮中高手如云，帮主乔峰固然英雄了得，丐帮六老更是望重武林，但他性子高傲，自幼便是天不怕、地不怕的脾气，眼见丐帮六老中倒有四老现身，隐然合围，暗叫：“糟糕，糟糕，今日包三先生只怕要英名扫地。”但脸上丝毫不现惧色，说道：“四个老儿有何见教？想要跟包三先生打上一架么？为什么还有两个老儿不一齐上来？偷偷埋伏在一旁，想对包三先生横施暗算么？很好，很好，好得很！包三先生最爱的便是打架。” 忽然间半空中一人说道：“世间最爱打架的是谁？是包三先生吗？非也，非也！那是江南一阵风风波恶。” 段誉抬起头来，只见一株杏树的树枝上站着一人，树枝不住晃动，那人便随着树枝上下起伏。那人身形瘦小，约莫三十二三岁年纪，面颊凹陷，留着两撇鼠尾须，眉毛下垂，容貌十分丑陋。段誉心道：“看来这人便是阿朱、阿碧所说的风四爷了。”果然听得阿碧叫道：“风四爷，你听到了公子的讯息么？” 风波恶叫道：“好啊，今天找到了好对手。阿朱、阿碧，公子的事，待会再说不迟。”半空中一个倒栽筋斗翻将下来，向北方那身材矮胖的老者扑去。 那老者手持一条钢杖，陡然向前挺出，点向风波恶小腹。这条钢杖有鹅蛋粗细，挺出时势挟劲风，甚是威猛。风波恶猱身直上，伸手便去夺那钢杖。那老者手腕一抖，钢杖翻起，点向他胸口。风波恶叫道“妙极！”突然矮身，去抓对方腰胁。那矮胖老者钢杖已打在外门，见敌人欺近身来，收杖抵御已然不及，当即飞腿踢他腰胯。 风波恶斜身闪过，扑到东首那红脸老者身前，白光耀眼，他手中已多了一柄单刀，横砍而至。红脸老者手中拿的是柄鬼头刀，背厚刃薄，刀身甚长，见风波恶挥刀削来，鬼头刀竖立，以刀碰刀，往他刀刃上硬碰过去。风波恶叫道：“你兵刃厉害，不跟你碰。”倒纵丈许，反手一刀，砍向南边的白须老者。 白须老者右手握着一根铁锏，锏上生满倒齿，可用来锁拿敌人兵刃。他见风波恶单刀反砍，而红脸老者的鬼头刀尚未收势，倘若自己就此上前招架，便成了前后夹击之势。他自重身份，不愿以二对一，当即飘身避开，让了他一招。 岂知风波恶好斗成性，越打得热闹，越感过瘾，至于谁胜谁败，倒不如何计较，而打斗的种种规矩更从来不守。白须老者这一下闪身而退，谁都知道他有意相让，风波恶却全不理会这些武林中的礼节过门，眼见有隙可乘，向他呼呼呼呼地连砍四刀，全是进手招数，势若飘风，迅捷无比。 白须老者没想到他竟会趁机相攻，实在无理已极，忙挥锏招架，连退了四步方始稳定身形。这时他背心靠到了一株杏子树上，已然退无可退，横过铁锏，呼的一锏打出，这是他转守为攻的杀手锏之一。哪知风波恶喝道：“再打一个。”竟不架而退，单刀舞成圈子，向丐帮的第四位长老旋削过去。白须长老这一锏打出，敌人已远远退开，只恼得他连连吹气，白须高扬。 这第四位长老两条手臂甚长，左手中提着一件软软的兵刃，见风波恶攻到，左臂一提，抖开兵刃，竟是一只装米的麻袋。麻袋受风吹鼓，口子张开，便向风波恶头顶罩落。 风波恶又惊又喜，大叫：“妙极，妙极，我和你打！”他生平最爱的便是打架，倘若对手身有古怪武功，或是奇异兵刃，那更加心花怒放，就像喜爱游览之人见到奇山大川，讲究饮食之人尝到新奇美味一般。眼见对方以一只粗麻布袋作武器，他从来没和这种兵刃交过手，连听也没听见过，喜悦之余，暗增戒惧，小心冀冀地以刀尖戳去，要试试是否能用刀割破麻袋。长臂老者陡然间袋交右手，左臂回转，挥拳往他面门击去。 风波恶仰头避过，正要反刀去撩他下阴，哪知道长臂老者练成了极高明的“通臂拳”功夫，这一拳似乎拳力已尽，偏是力尽处又有新力生出，拳头更向前伸了半尺。幸得风波恶一生好斗，大战小斗经历了数千场，应变经验之丰，当世不作第二人想，百忙中张开口来，便往他拳头上咬落。长臂老者满拟这一拳可将他牙齿打落几枚，哪料得到拳头将到他口边，他一口白森森的牙齿竟然咬了过来，急忙缩手，已然迟了一步，“啊”的一声大叫，指根处已被他咬出血来。旁观众人有的破口而骂，有的哈哈大笑。 包不同一本正经地道：“风四弟，你这招'吕洞宾咬狗'，名不虚传，果然已练到了出神入化的境地，不枉你十载寒暑的苦练之功，咬死了一千八百条白狗、黑狗、花狗，方有今日的修为造诣”。王语嫣和阿朱、阿碧都笑了起来。 段誉笑道：“王姑娘，天下武学，你无所不知，无所不晓。这一招咬人的功夫，却属于何门何派？”王语嫣微微一笑，说道：“这是风四哥的独门功夫，我可不懂了。”包不同道：“你不懂？嘿嘿，太也孤陋寡闻了。'吕洞宾咬狗大九式'，每一式各有正反八种咬法，八九七十二，一共七十二咬。这是很高深的武功啊。”段誉见王语嫣欢喜，听包不同如此胡说八道，也想跟着说笑几句，猛地想起：“那长臂老者是乔大哥的下属，我怎可取笑于他？”急忙住口。 这时场中呼呼风响，但见长臂老者将麻袋舞成一团黄影，似已将风波恶笼罩在内。但风波恶刀法精奇，遮拦进击，尽自抵敌得住。只是麻袋上的招数尚未见底，通臂拳的厉害他适才却已领教过，“吕洞宾咬狗”这一招，毕竟只能侥幸得逞，可一咬而不可再咬，而实情也并无“咬狗大九式”七十二咬，是以不敢有丝毫轻忽。 乔峰见风波恶居然能和丐帮四老之一的长臂叟陈长老恶斗百余招而不落败，心下也暗暗称奇，对慕容公子又看得高了一层。丐帮其余三位长老各自退在一旁，凝神观斗。 阿碧见风波恶久战不下，担起忧来，问王语嫣道：“王姑娘，这位长臂老先生使一只麻袋，那是什么武功？”王语嫣皱眉道：“这路武功我在书上没见过，他拳脚是通臂拳，使那麻袋的手法，有大别山回打软鞭十三式的劲道，也夹着湖北阮家八十一路三节棍的套子，瞧来那麻袋的功夫是他自己独创的。” 她这几句话说得并不甚响，但“大别山回打软鞭十三式”以及“湖北阮家八十一路三节棍”这两个名称，听在长臂叟耳中却如轰轰雷鸣一般。他本是湖北阮家的子弟，三节棍是家传的功夫，后来杀了本家长辈，犯了大罪，于是改姓换名，流落江湖，舍弃三节棍决不再用，改学通臂拳和软鞭功夫，再也无人得知他本来面目。不料幼时所学的武功虽竭力摒弃，到了剧斗酣战之际，自然而然地便露了出来，心下大惊：“这女娃儿怎地得知我的底细？”他还道自己隐瞒了数十年的旧事已为她所知，这么一分心，被风波恶连攻数刀，竟有抵挡不住之势。 他连退三步，斜身急走，眼见风波恶挥刀砍到，当即飞起左足，往他右手手腕上踢去。风波恶单刀斜挥，径自砍他左足。长臂叟右足跟着踢出，鸳鸯连环，身子已跃在半空。风波恶见他恁大年纪，身手矫健，不减少年，不由得一声喝彩：“好！”左手呼的一拳击出，打向他的膝盖。眼见长臂叟身在半空，难以移动身形，这一拳只要打实了，膝盖纵不碎裂，腿骨也必折断。 风波恶见自己这一拳距他膝头已近，对方仍不变招，蓦觉风声劲急，对方手中的麻袋张开大口，往自己头顶罩落。他这拳虽能打断长臂叟的腿骨，但自己老大一个脑袋被人家套在麻袋之中，岂不糟糕之极？这一拳直击急忙改为横扫，要将麻袋挥开。长臂叟右手微侧，麻袋口一转，已套住了他拳头。 麻袋的大口和风波恶小小一个拳头相差太远，套中容易，却决计裹他不住。风波恶手一缩，便从麻袋中抽出。突然间手背上微微一痛，似被细针刺了一下，垂目看时，吓了一跳，只见一只小小蝎子钉上了自己手背。这只蝎子比常蝎为小，但五色斑斓，模样可怖。风波恶情知不妙，用力甩动，但蝎子尾巴牢牢钉住了他手背，怎么也甩之不脱。 风波恶急忙翻转左手，手背往自己单刀刀背上拍落，嚓的一声轻响，五色蝎子立时烂成一团。但长臂叟既从麻袋中放了这头蝎子出来，决不是好相与之物，寻常一个丐帮子弟，所使毒物已十分厉害，何况是六大长老中的一老？他立即跃开丈许，从怀中取出一颗解毒丸，抛入口中吞下。 长臂叟也不追击，收起了麻袋，不住向王语嫣打量，寻思：“这女娃儿如何得知我是湖北阮家的？” 包不同甚是关心，忙问：“四弟觉得如何？”风波恶左手挥了两下，觉得并无异状，大是不解：“麻袋中暗藏五色小蝎，决不能没有古怪。”说道：“没什么……”只说得这三个字，突然间咕咚一声，向前仆摔下去。包不同急忙扶起，连问：“怎么？怎么？”只见他脸上肌肉僵硬，笑得极是勉强。 包不同大惊，忙点了他左手手腕、肘节和肩头三处关节中的六处穴道，要止住毒气上行，岂知那五色彩蝎的毒性行得快速之极，虽非见血封喉，却也是如响斯应，比一般毒蛇的毒性发作得更快。风波恶张开了口想说话，却只发出几下极难听的哑哑之声。包不同眼见毒性厉害，只怕已无法医治，悲愤难当，一声大吼，向长臂老者扑去。 那手持钢杖的矮胖老者叫道：“想车轮战么？让我矮冬瓜来会会苏州的英豪。”钢杖递出，点向包不同。这兵刃本来甚为沉重，但他举重若轻，出招灵动，直如一柄长剑一般。包不同虽然气愤忧急，但对手大是劲敌，不敢怠慢，只想擒住这矮胖长老，逼长臂叟取出解药来救治风四弟，当下施展擒拿手，从钢杖的空隙中招招进袭。 阿朱、阿碧分站风波恶两侧，都目中含泪，只叫：“四爷，四爷！” 王语嫣于使毒、治毒的法门一窍不通，心下大悔：“我看过的武学书籍之中，讲到治毒法门的着实不少，偏生我以为没什么用处，瞧也不瞧。当时只消看上几眼，多多少少能记得一些，此刻总不至束手无策，眼睁睁地让风四哥死于非命。” 乔峰见包不同与矮长老势均力故，非片刻间能分胜败，向长臂叟道：“陈长老，请你给这位风四爷解了毒吧！”长臂叟陈长老一怔，道：“帮主，此人好生无礼，武功倒也不弱，救活了后患不小。”乔峰点头道：“话是不错。但咱们尚未跟正主儿朝过相，先伤他的下属，未免有恃强凌弱之嫌。咱们还是先站定了脚跟，占住了理数。”陈长老气愤愤地道：“马副帮主明明是那姓慕容的小子所害，报仇雪恨，还有什么仁义理数好说。”乔峰脸上微有不悦之色，道：“你先给他解了毒，其余的事慢慢再说不迟。” 陈长老心中虽一百个不愿意，但不敢违拗帮主之命，说道：“是。”从怀中取出一个小瓶，走上几步，向阿朱和阿碧道：“我家帮主仁义为先，这是解药，拿去吧！” 阿碧大喜，忙走上前去，先向乔峰恭恭敬敬地行了一礼，又向陈长老福了福，道：“多谢乔帮主，多谢陈长老。”接过了那小瓶，问道：“请问长老，这解药如何用法？”陈长老道：“吸尽伤口中的毒液之后，将解药敷上。”他顿了一顿，又道：“毒液若未吸尽，解药敷上去有害无益，不可不知。”阿碧道：“是！”回身拿起了风波恶的手掌，张口便要去吸他手背上创口中的毒液。 陈长老大声喝道：“且慢！”阿碧一愕，问道：“怎么？”陈长老道：“女子吸不得！”阿碧脸上微微一红，道：“女子怎么了？”陈长老道：“这蝎毒是阴寒之毒，女子性阴，阴上加阴，毒性更增。” 阿碧、阿朱、王语嫣三人都将信将疑，虽觉这话有些古怪，但也不是全然无理，倘若真的毒上加毒，那可不妙；自己这边只剩下包不同是男人，然他与矮老者剧斗正酣，只见杖影点点，掌势飘飘，一时间难以收手。阿朱叫道：“三哥，暂且罢斗，且回来救了四爷再说。” 但包不同的武功和那矮老者在伯仲之间，一交上了手，要想脱身而退，却也不是数招内便能办到。高手比武，每一招均牵连生死，要是谁能进退自如，那便可随手取了对方性命，岂能要来便来、要去便去？包不同听到阿朱的呼叫，心知风波恶伤势有变，心下焦急，抢攻数招，只盼摆脱矮老者的纠缠。 矮老者与包不同激斗已逾百招，虽仍属平手之局，但自己持了威力极强的长大兵刃，对方却是空手，强弱显已分明。矮老者挥舞钢杖，连环进击，均为包不同一一化解，情知再斗下去，自己多半有输无赢，待见包不同攻势转盛，还道他想一举击败自己，当下全力反击。丐帮四老在武功上个个有独到造诣，青城派的诸保昆、司马林、秦家寨的姚伯当都被包不同在谈笑之间轻易打发，这矮老者却着实不易对付。包不同虽占上风，但要真的胜得一招半式，却也着实艰难。 乔峰见王语嫣等三个少女脸色惊惶，想起陈长老所饲彩蝎毒性厉害，也不知“女子不能吸毒”之言是真是假。他若命属下攻击敌人，情势便再凶险百倍，也无人敢生怨心，但要人甘冒送命之险去救治敌人，这号令可无论如何不能出口，当即说道：“我来给风四爷吸毒好了。”说着便走向风波恶身旁。 段誉见到王语嫣的愁容，早就有意为风波恶吸去手上毒液，但想乔峰是结义兄长，自己去助他敌人，于金兰之义不免有亏，虽听乔峰曾命陈长老取出解药，却不知他是真情还是假意。待见乔峰走向风波恶身前，真的要助他除毒，忙道：“大哥，让小弟来吸好了。”一步跨出，自然而然是“凌波微步”中的步法，身形侧处，已抢在乔峰之前，抓起风波恶左手手掌，张口便往他手背上的创口吸去。 其时风波恶一只手掌已全成黑色，双眼大睁，连眼皮肌肉也已僵硬，无法合上。段誉吸出一口毒血，吐在地下，只见那毒血色如黑墨，众人看了，均觉骇异。段誉还待再吸，却见伤口中汩汩地流出黑血。段誉一怔，心道：“让这黑血流去后再吸较妥。”他不知只因自己服食过万毒之王的莽牯朱蛤，那是任何毒物的克星，彩蝎的毒质远远不如，一吸之下，便顺势流出。突然风波恶身子一动，说道：“多谢！” 阿朱等尽皆大喜。阿碧道：“四爷，你会说话了。”心里感激，向段誉低声道：“阿哥……多谢你了。”只见黑血渐淡，慢慢变成了紫色，又流一会，紫血变成了深红色。阿碧忙给风波恶敷上解药，乔峰伸手给他解开穴道。顷刻之间，风波恶高高肿起的手背已经平复，说话行动，也已全然如初。 风波恶向段誉深深一揖，道：“多谢公子爷救命之恩。”段誉急忙还礼，道：“些许小事，何足挂齿？”风波恶笑道：“我的性命在公子是小事，在我却是大事。”从阿碧手中接过小瓶，掷向陈长老，道：“还了你的解药。”又向乔峰抱拳道：“乔帮主仁义过人，不愧为武林中第一大帮的首领。风波恶十分佩服。”乔峰抱拳还礼，道：“不敢！” 风波恶拾起单刀，左手指着陈长老道：“今天我输了给你，风波恶甘拜下风，待下次撞到，咱们再打过，今天就不打了。”陈长老微笑道：“自当奉陪。”风波恶一斜身，向手中持锏的长老叫道：“我来领教领教阁下高招。”阿朱、阿碧都大吃一惊，齐声叫道：“四爷不可，你身子尚未复元。”风波恶叫道：“有架不打，枉自为人！”单刀霍霍挥动，身随刀进，已砍向持锏长老。 那使锏的长老白眉白须，成名数十载，江湖上什么人物没会过，然见风波恶片刻之间还是十成中已死了九成，岂知一转眼间，立即又生龙活虎般地杀来，如此凶悍，实所罕有，不禁骇然。他的铁锏本来变化繁复，除了击打扫刺之外，更有锁拿敌人兵刃的奇异手法，这时心下一怯，功夫减了几成，变成了只有招架之功，而无还手之力。 乔峰眉头微皱，心想：“这位风朋友太也不知好歹，我段兄弟好意救了你性命，怎地不分青红皂白地又去乱打？” 眼见包不同和风波恶两人都渐占上风，但也非转眼间即能分出胜败。高手比武，瞬息万变，只要有一招一式使得巧了，或者对手偶有疏忽，原处于劣势者立时便能平反败局。局中四人固然不敢稍有怠忽，旁观各人也均凝神观看。 段誉忽听得东首有不少人快步走来，跟着北方也有人过来，人数更多。段誉向乔峰低声道：“大哥，有人来了！”乔峰也早听见，点了点头，心想：“多半是慕容公子伏下的人马到了。原来这姓包和姓风的两人先来缠住我们，然后大队人手一齐来攻。”正要暗传号令，命帮众先行向西、向南分别撤走，自己和四长老及蒋舵主断后，忽听得西方和南方同时有脚步杂沓之声。却是四面八方都来了敌人。 乔峰低声道：“蒋舵主，南方敌人力道最弱，待会见我手势，立时便率领众兄弟向南退走。”蒋舵主应道：“是！” 便在此时，东方杏子树后奔出五六十人，都是衣衫褴褛，头发蓬乱，或持兵器，或拿破碗竹仗，均是丐帮中帮众。跟着北方也有八九十名丐帮弟子走了出来，各人神色严重，见了乔峰也不行礼，反隐隐含有敌意。 包不同和风波恶陡然间见到有这许多丐帮人众出现，暗自心惊，均想：“如何救得王姑娘、阿朱、阿碧三人脱身才好？” 然而这时最惊讶的却是乔峰。这些人都是本帮帮众，平素对自己极为敬重，只要远远望见，早就奔了过来行礼，何以今日突如其来，连“帮主”也不叫一声？他正大感疑惑，只见西首和南首也赶到了数十名帮众，不多时之间，便将杏林丛中的空地挤满了，然而帮中的首脑人物，除了先到的四大长老和蒋舵主之外，余人均不在内。乔峰越来越惊，掌心中冷汗暗生，他就算遇到最强最恶的敌人，也从来不似此刻这般骇异，只想：“难道丐帮忽生内乱？传功、执法两位长老和分舵舵主遭了毒手？”但包不同、风波恶和二长老兀自激战不休，王语嫣等又在一旁，当着外人之面，不便出言询问。 陈长老忽然高声叫道：“结打狗阵！”东南西北四面的丐帮帮众之中，每一处都奔出十余人、二十余人不等，各持兵刃，将包不同、矮长老等四人围住。 包不同见丐帮顷刻间布成阵势，若要硬闯，自己纵然勉强能全身而退，风波恶中毒后元气大耗，非受重伤不可，要救王语嫣等三人就更加难了。当此情势，莫过于罢手认输，在丐帮群相进击之下，两人因寡不敌众而认输，实于声名无损。但包不同性子执拗，常人认为理所当然之事，他偏偏要反其道而行之，风波恶却又爱斗过于性命，只要有打斗的机会，不论是胜是败，结果是生是死，又不管谁是谁非，总之是恶斗到底再说。是以强弱之势早已分明，包风二人却仍大呼酣战，丝毫不屈。 王语嫣叫道：“包三哥、风四哥，不成了。丐帮这打狗阵，你们两位破不了的，还是及早住手吧。” 风波恶道：“我再打一会，等到真的不成，再住手好了。”他说话时一分心，嗤的一声响，肩头给白须长老扫了一锏，锏上倒
