Chapter 43 Chapter Forty-Two
Murong Fu took over the long sword thrown by Deng Baichuan in an emergency, he lifted his spirits, and used the Murong family's family-inspired swordsmanship, with continuous moves, like flowing clouds and flowing water, in an instant, his whole body was covered by a light curtain middle.Martial arts people have always only heard that Gusu Murong's martial arts are profound, they know all about the kung fu of various schools and sects, but unexpectedly their swordsmanship is also as exquisite as this.
But Murong Fu's every move, no matter how fierce and vicious, could never reach within a foot of Duan Yu's body.I saw Duan Yu poking and poking with both hands, forcing Murong Fu to move up and down, dodging east and west.Suddenly there was a crackling sound, the long sword in Murong Fu's hand collided head-on with Duan Yu's invisible sword energy, and broke in two, half of the sword flew up into the air, reflected by the setting sun, flashing white light.
Murong Fu was startled, but he didn't panic, he swung his left palm swiftly, using the two broken swords as hidden weapons, and shot at Duan Yu.Duan Yu shouted: "Ah yo!" At a loss, he panicked and fell to the ground hastily.The half-cut sword flew over his head, and the masters competed with each other, but they performed such embarrassing tricks as "dogs eat shit", it was really ugly.Although Murong Fu's long sword was cut off, he was seeking victory in defeat, unrestrained and unrestrained, which is much more glorious than Duan Yu's.
Feng Bo yelled: "Young master, take the knife!" Throwing the single knife in his hand, Murong Fu took the knife in his hand, saw Duan Yu had got up, and said with a smile: "Brother Duan's move of 'evil dog eats shit' is Dali Duan. Is it the unique skill of your family?" Duan Yu was stunned, and said: "No!" The little commander with his right hand moved, and stabbed with the "Shao Chong Sword".
Murong Fu wielded his saber to resist, but saw that he suddenly used the "Five Tigers Breaking Doors Saber", suddenly used the "Bagua Saber", and used the "Liuhe Saber" without counting moves. All the way, you can get to the core and get the essence, and all the famous knife masters who are watching are amazed.But although his saber skills are excellent, he still can't bully Duan Yu's side.Duan Yu's move "Shao Chong Sword" circled from the left side, Murong Fu raised the saber to block, with a bang, the sharp blade snapped off again.
Gong Yeqian waved his hands, and the two judge pens flew towards Murong Fu.Murong Fu threw down the broken knife, took over the Judge's pen, as soon as he made a move, he made some acupuncture moves, there was a chichi sound from the tip of the pen, and a faint internal force also came out.
Duan Yu disassembled more than a hundred strokes, his heart was a little bit fearful, and he slowly grasped the veins of his inner breath, remembering the inner strength and heart method taught by his uncle and Master Kurong of Tianlong Temple, and made the six-veined sword gradually round and smooth .Suddenly I heard Xiao Feng say: "Third brother, you are not proficient in this six-veined divine sword, you use all six sword techniques, there is a gap in between when switching, and the opponent can take advantage of the opportunity to avoid it. You might as well try only one sword technique " Duan Yu said: "Yes, thank you for your advice!" Looking sideways, he saw Xiao Feng standing with his hands behind his back, with a relaxed attitude, but Zhuang Juxian was lying on the ground with his feet broken, moaning loudly.
It turned out that Xiao Feng lacked Murong Fu as a formidable enemy, he fought You Tanzhi alone, he immediately gained the upper hand, he just fought hard with him for a few palms, every time his palms meet, he couldn't help fighting coldly, but the cold air hit his body , feeling unspeakably uncomfortable, immediately slammed several palms, and when You Tanzhi raised his palm to meet him with all his strength, he swept his right leg across.You Tanzhi's master is ice silkworm cold poison and Shenzu meridian internal strength, his fist and foot kung fu is all learned from Ah Zi, it is very common, suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his leg, with a click, both shin bones broke at the same time, Then he fell down.Xiao Feng said loudly: "The beggar gang always puts benevolence and chivalry first. As the leader of the gang, how can you join forces with the monsters of the Xingxiu sect? You will not insult the chivalrous reputation of the beggar gang for hundreds of years!"
The reason why You Tan was appointed as the head of the Beggar Clan is because of his extraordinary martial arts.As for knowledge, bearing, commanding and acting, they are not enough to convince the crowd, not to mention wearing a mask, being secretive and sneaky, all affairs are under the control of Ah Zi and Quan Guanqing, the beggars have already been very dissatisfied.This day, he arrested and killed members of the gang, kowtowed to Ding Chunqiu in public, and joined the Xingxiu sect, the beggars no longer treat him as the leader of the gang.Xiao Feng kicked his legs off, the beggars were overjoyed, none of them came to help.Even though Quan Guanqing and other few buddies have the intention to come forward to rescue, but seeing Xiao Feng's majestic expression, who would dare to come forward to die?
After Xiao Feng defeated You Tan, he saw Xu Zhu and Ding Chunqiu fighting, they were quite superior, although Duan Yu knew the Six Meridian Excalibur, sometimes it was delicate, sometimes it was extremely clumsy, many chances to win were inexplicably let go, he couldn't help it Give pointers.
Duan Yu looked sideways at Xiao Feng and You Tanzhi, his mind was slightly divided, a flaw appeared in the neutrality of the Six Meridians Excalibur.Murong Fu is very clever, he swung his left hand out, a judge's hand stroke with strong wind, shot towards Duan Yu's chest, he was about to pass through his chest.Duan Yu saw that the judge's pen was coming at a surprising speed, he couldn't help panicking, and shouted urgently: "Brother, it's not good!"
Xiao Feng made a move of "Leading across the Great River", he slapped it from the side, the judge's pen was agitated by the palm wind, the waist of the pen bent unexpectedly, it made a bend behind Duan Yu's head, and shot back at Murong Fu.
Murong Fu raised the single pen in his right hand, and smashed the shooting judge's pen away, with a bang, the two pens intersected, his right arm went numb from the shock, before the bent judge's pen hit the ground, he copied it with his left hand, and grabbed it, That is to say, the single hook method of the Kongtong School.
The heroes were not only shocked by the strength of Xiao Feng's palm, but also saw Murong Fu's infinite adaptability and exquisite hooking skills, they couldn't help applauding loudly, they all felt that seeing today's world's most talented people fighting with all their strength, it was indeed an eye-opener, and it was worth it This time Shaoshishan and his party came together.
Duan Yu escaped the danger of the flying pen piercing his chest, he calmed down, pressed his thumb out, and used the "Shaoshang Sword Technique".This way of swordsmanship opens wide and closes wide, and the atmosphere is magnificent. Every time the sword is thrust out, there is a tendency of earth-shattering shock and heavy wind and rain.With each stroke, Murong Fu gradually felt that it was hard to resist.Duan Yu got Xiao Feng's advice, and he only practiced Shaoshang's swordsmanship. Sure enough, this swordsmanship has a strict structure and no flaws.Originally, the Six Meridians Excalibur and the Six Routes of Swordsmanship are much more powerful than using a single sword, but Duan Yu didn't understand the trick, and he became more familiar with a single sword. After more than ten swords were used, Murong Fu saw his forehead Khan couldn't help but retreat, retreating to a big locust tree, leaning against the tree for defense.
After Duan Yu finished using Shaoshang swordsmanship all the way, he bent his thumb and pointed out with his index finger, and changed into "Shangyang swordsmanship".
Shang Yangjian's sword is not as powerful as Shaoshang Sword, but it is light and fast, but it is far superior. He moves his index finger, and stabs out one sword after another, with incomparable speed.The movement of the sword depends on the dexterity of the wrist, but no matter how quickly the sword is drawn, there is always a distance of several feet. He uses his index finger to push the invisible sword energy, but the finger rotates within a few inches, and it is extremely convenient.Kuang Murongfu was cornered by him, he had no room to fight back.Duan Yuru dismantled him one move at a time, and if he couldn't make the second move, he would have already killed him. Now he is only attacking but not defending. Let him use Shang Yang's swordsmanship, and he has taken advantage of it.
Seeing her cousin's critical situation, Wang Yuyan felt extremely anxious. Although she was familiar with the martial arts moves of all schools and sects in the world, she didn't know anything about the Six Meridians Excalibur, so she couldn't speak out to give instructions, so she could only be anxious.
Xiao Feng saw Duan Yu's invisible sword energy becoming more and more miraculous, he was both gratified and admired, suddenly he felt sour, and thought of A Zhu: "Ah Zhu was willing to die in place of her father that day, because she was afraid that I would kill her father Afterwards, the Duan family of Dali will definitely seek revenge from me, fearing that I will not be able to defeat their six-meridian sword. The third younger brother is a beginner, and his swordsmanship is already so miraculous. A'Zhu used her life to save me, I... I am a Khitan warrior, how can I accept her kindness?"
Duan Yanqing and Jiumozhi saw that Duan Yu's "Six Meridians Excalibur" was incomparably miraculous, although they knew that he had not mastered what he had learned, but with a little practice and guidance from an expert, they could become the best in the world , couldn't help but let out a long sigh.Jiumozhi's sigh was full of enthusiasm and beauty, but Duan Yanqing's soft sigh from the belly was full of desolation and sadness.
Deng Baichuan and others saw that Murong Fu was being forced into extreme embarrassment by Duan Yu, so they wanted to step forward to help, but suddenly they heard the voices of countless women shouting from the southwest corner: "Old monster Xingxiu, how dare you fight with my Master of Vulture Palace in Misty Peak Quickly kneel down and kowtow." Everyone looked sideways, and saw hundreds of women standing on the side of the mountain, divided into eight teams, each team wearing different colors of clothes, red, yellow, blue and purple, bright and eye-catching.Beside the eight women's teams, there are hundreds of gangsters, dressed in unusually well-dressed clothes.These tycoons also shouted: "Master, plant a few pieces of 'Life and Death Talismans' for him!" "To deal with Xingxiu monsters, Life and Death Talismans are the most effective!"
Xu Zhu's martial arts internal strength is higher than Ding Chunqiu's, he could have won the victory long ago, but firstly, his experience in facing the enemy is too little, his own skill is less than 60% to 70%; secondly, he has a compassionate heart, many fierce killers who take people's lives , often only apply half of it and then take it back; Ding Chunqiu's body is very poisonous for three years, Xu Zhu is quite scrupulous, he dare not touch his body easily, but he doesn't know that he has profound internal energy, Ding Chunqiu's poison has long been unable to harm him, Therefore, they fought for a long time, but they were still deadlocked.Suddenly he heard a crowd of men and women yelling in unison, cheering for him, looking around where the sound came from, he couldn't help being both surprised and happy, but saw that eight of the women from the Nine Heavens and Nine Divisions of the Vulture Palace had arrived, and the remaining one Tianbu thought he was staying in Vulture Palace.Those men are the thirty-six cave masters, the seventy-two island masters and their subordinates, there are quite a few of them, even if not all the cave masters and island masters have arrived, at least 80% to 90% have arrived.
Xu Zhu called out: "Grandma Yu, Mr. Wu, why are you here?" Granny Yu said: "Master, I have received a letter from four girls, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and learned about the thieves in Shaolin Temple. Bald wants to make things difficult for the master, so he informs his subordinates in every cave and island, and they come here in the starry night. Luckily, the master is safe, and the subordinates are overjoyed." Xu Zhu said: "Shaolin sect is my sect, you mustn't speak rudely, come to me quickly. The abbot of Shaolin Temple apologizes." As he spoke, Tianshan Zhemei Shou, Tianshan Liuyang Palm and so on still made wonderful works.
Terrified expression appeared on Granny Yu's face, she bowed and said: "Yes, the old lady is convicted." Walking in front of Abbot Xuanci, she knelt down on both knees, respectfully kowtowed four times, and said, "Master of Vulture Palace belongs to Yu Po of the Lower Haotian Department, she spoke rudely and offended all the eminent monks of Shaolin Temple, I would like to kowtow to the abbot to apologize, and respectfully lead the abbot to punish me." She spoke very sincerely, her words were clear and clear, she seemed to be full of internal energy, and she was already top-notch Master realm.
Xuanci flicked the sleeve of his robe, and said: "Don't dare to be the benefactor, please get up!" In this flick, five percent of internal energy was exerted, and he wanted to lift Granny Yu up, but Granny Yu's body trembled slightly, and unexpectedly It was not lifted.She kowtowed again, and said: "The old lady insulted the master's family, she deserves death." Then she stood up slowly and returned to the team.
All the old monks of the Xuan family heard Xu Zhu tell about the process of entering the Vulture Palace, and when they learned about it, the rest of the Shaolin monks and the onlookers were amazed: "This old woman's inner strength is really good, the rest of the men and women look at it. He is not a weak person, how come they are all the subordinates of this young monk from Shaolin School, it is really strange." Some people saw Xu Zhu helping Xiao Feng, and he had a large number of male and female subordinates, Xiao Feng suddenly strengthened his support, it is not easy to kill him , could not help worrying.
The disciples of Xingxiu sect saw many beautiful young women among the eight tribes of vultures, they became confused in their words.All the cave masters and island masters are rough men, they immediately retorted, and the sound of shouting and scolding from the hilltop rang together.All the cave masters and island masters drew their swords to challenge.Members of the Xingxiu sect dared not take up the challenge, and it became even more filthy when they yelled and cursed.Some saw that the master was at a disadvantage after a long battle, and the situation may not be bad, so they looked around to check the way to escape down the mountain.
Duan Yu didn't care about it, everyone in the Vulture Palace went up the mountain and ignored them, focused on using Shang Yang's swordsmanship, and rushed towards Murong Fu.Thinking of Wang Yuyan's every word and action, she was only trying to protect Murong Fu, her heart is extremely bitter, since the Six Meridians Excalibur has been activated, her internal energy continues to be stimulated, and the sword's power is unabated.At this moment Murong Fu couldn't see the origin of the invisible sword energy at all, he could only use a stroke of a hook to make the wind and rain impenetrable, protect his whole body, and hide behind the big locust tree from time to time to avoid the sword energy.
With a sudden snort, Duan Yu's sword energy penetrated and entered, Murong Fu's hat was cut off, his hair scattered all over, he was in a panic.Wang Yuyan exclaimed: "Young Master Duan, be merciful!" Duan Yu's heart shuddered, he let out a long sigh, and he stopped sending out the second sword. , if I kill him by mistake, you will be in great grief, and you will never smile again. Duan respects you and loves you, and never wants to make you sad."
Murong Fu's face was ashamed, he thought that losing the sword fight on Shaoshi Mountain today is a great shame, and because a woman begged for mercy, the other party spared his life, how can he still have a foothold in the Jianghu?He shouted loudly: "A real man will die if he dies. Who wants you to show off?" He waved his steel hook and charged towards Duan Yu.
Duan Yu shook his hands repeatedly, and said: "We have no enmity, so why fight again? No more fights, no more fights!"
Murong Fu is arrogant by nature, he has never put the world's people in his eyes, today before the hero of the world, Duan Yu forced him to have no chance to fight back, and because of Wang Yuyan's words, he was allowed by the other party, how can he swallow his anger ?He swung his steel hook towards Duan Yu's face, and the judge's pen stabbed Duan Yu's chest, thinking: "You can kill me with invisible sword energy, it's better to kill me together than to survive in this world." Filled with shame and anger, he has put his own life and death aside.
Duan Yu saw that Murong Fu was approaching fiercely, if he used the Six Meridians Excalibur to stab at his vitals, he was afraid of hurting his life, he was at a loss for what to do, he was stunned, he couldn't think of using Lingbo to dodge.Murong Fu's pounce was desperate, how fast he came, the figure flickered, and with a pop, the judge's pen in his right hand had been inserted into Duan Yu's body.Finally, Duan Yu turned to the left in a crisis, avoiding the vital part of his chest, but the judge's pen penetrated into his right shoulder, Duan Yu yelled "Ah", and his whole body froze in fright.Murong Fu used the steel hook in his left hand to "find a needle in a haystack", quickly hooking him in the back of the head.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Duan Zhengchun and South Sea Crocodile rushed forward again, Ba Tianshi and Cui Baiquan were also added.This time Murong Fu decided to kill Duan Yu, he would rather be seriously injured himself than slow down, he ignored the attacks of Duan Zhengchun and the other four, seeing the tip of the steel hook was about to touch the back of Duan Yu's head, suddenly There was a numbness on the "Shin Dao Point" on the back, and the body was lifted in the air. The key point of "Shin Dao Point" was captured, his hands were numb immediately, he could no longer hold the judge's pen and steel hook, only to hear Xiao Feng sternly shout: "I spare your life, but you turn out to be a murderer, what kind of hero are you?"
It turned out that Xiao Feng saw Murong Fu rushing towards him, the door was wide open and his flaws were exposed, he expected that Duan Yu would use invisible sword energy and take his life in one move, he never expected that Duan Yu would stop at this moment, Murong Fu came back Surprisingly fast, even though Xiao Feng's strike is fast, it is still not as fast as saving that one stroke of misfortune.But when Murong Fu followed up with that stance of "Finding a Needle in a Haystack", Xiao Feng made a move immediately and grabbed the "Shindao Point" on the back of his heart.Originally, although Murong Fu's martial arts were not as good as Xiao Feng's, he would not be able to catch him in just one move, but because he was filled with anger at that time, he wanted to kill Duan Yu wholeheartedly, and he didn't care about himself.Xiao Feng's move is another extremely exquisite grasping technique, he grabbed the key point, Murong Fu couldn't move anymore.
Xiao Feng is tall and tall, with long arms and legs, he lifts Murong Fu in the air, like an eagle catching a chick.Deng Baichuan, Gongye Gan, Bao Budong and Feng Bo'e shouted together: "Don't hurt my son!" They all rushed forward.Wang Yuyan also snatched away from the crowd, shouting: "Cousin, Cousin!" Murong Fu wished he could die immediately to avoid this undue humiliation.
Xiao Feng sneered and said: "Xiao is such a good man, he is as famous as a person like you!" With strength in his arms, he was thrown out.
Murong Fu flew straight seven to eight zhang away, he straightened his back and wanted to stand up, but unexpectedly when Xiao Feng grabbed his Shendao acupoint, his internal force penetrated all the meridians, he couldn't relieve the numbness of his limbs in this instant, bang With a sound, his back fell to the ground, his hands and feet spread out, and he fell into a mess.The heroes on the sidelines whispered in low voices, and there was a lot of uproar.
Deng Baichuan hurriedly turned around and ran towards Murong Fu.Murong Fu breathed out, before Deng Baichuan and others rushed over, he turned over and stood up.With a face as pale as death, he stretched out his hand, pulled out the long sword from the scabbard around Bao Budong's waist, followed his left hand to draw a circle, keeping Deng Baichuan and others a few feet away, turned his right wrist, and wiped the horizontal sword away from his neck .Wang Yuyan yelled, "Cousin, don't..."
At this moment, there was a sudden loud sound of piercing through the air, a hidden weapon flew from more than ten feet away, across the square, and hit the long sword in Murong Fu's hand, with a sound of clang, Murong Fu's long sword flew out of his hand, and the palm of his hand The gun was full of blood, and the tiger's mouth was already shattered.
Murong Fu was inexplicably shocked, he looked up to where the hidden weapon came from, he saw a monk in gray clothes standing on the hillside, his face was covered with a gray cloth.
The monk took big strides, walked up to Murong Fu, and asked: "Do you have a son?" His voice was rather old.
Murong Fu said: "I'm not yet married, how can I have children?" The gray-clothed monk said solemnly: "Do you have any ancestors?" Murong Fu was very annoyed, and said loudly: "Of course I do! I will die voluntarily, what does it have to do with you A scholar can be killed and cannot be humiliated, Murong Fu is a dignified man, I can't stand your rude words." The gray-clothed monk said: "Your great-grandfather had sons, your great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all had sons, but you have no sons! Hehe, In Great Yan Kingdom, Murong Hao, Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Murong De, and Murong Longcheng were such heroes, but unexpectedly they all turned into utterly extinct descendants!"
Murong Hao, Murong Ke, Murong Chui, and Murong De were all the famous kings of the Yan Kingdom back then, and Murong Longcheng was the founder of the unique skill of "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi". It is Murong Fu's ancestors.When he was dizzy and furious, he suddenly heard the names of these five ancestors, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and he thought to himself: "Father warned me so earnestly in the past, and ordered me to revive the Great Swallow. As a lifelong ambition, today I took short-sightedness in a moment of anger, and I, the Murong family of Xianbei, have never been seen. I don’t even have a son, so what can I say about Guangzong’s restoration of the country?” I couldn’t help but sweat on my back and forehead, and immediately bowed down on the ground. Land, said: "Murong Fu's knowledge is short, and he was guided by an eminent monk. It's a great kindness and virtue, and I will never forget it."
The gray-clothed monk calmly accepted him and knelt down, saying: "Those who have achieved great achievements in ancient times have not gone through untold hardships? Han Gaozu had Baideng's troubles, and Han Guangwu had the troubles of northern Hebei. , It’s just a narrow-minded self-reliant Han, how can you say that ZTE founded the country? You are not as good as Goujian and Han Xin, you are really ignorant and ignorant!”
Murong Fu knelt down to be taught, terrified: "This monk seems to know my ambition, and he compares it with Han Gaozu and Han Guangwu, the founding masters of the country." Said: "Murong Fu knew it was wrong!" The gray-clothed monk said: "Get up!" Murong Fu bowed three times respectfully and stood up.
The gray-clothed monk said: "Your Gusu Murong family's family's martial arts are miraculous and profound, rare in the world, but you haven't learned them. Is it really not as good as the 'Six Meridians Sword' of the Duan family in Dali? Look carefully. !” Stretching out his index finger, Ling Xu clicked three times.
At this time, Zhengchun and Ba Tianshi were standing beside Duan Yu, Duan Zhengchun had sealed the acupoints around Duan Yu's wound with a Yang finger, Ba Tianshi was about to pull the judge's pen from his shoulder, but the gray-clothed monk pointed At the point of the wind, the chests of the two felt numb, and they fell backwards, followed by the judge's pen leaping out from Duan Yu's shoulder, and plunged into the ground with a bang.After Duan Zhengchun and Ba Tianshi fell down, they immediately jumped up and couldn't help being shocked.The grey-clothed monk was obviously merciful, otherwise these two false strikes would have killed the two of them.
The gray-clothed monk said loudly: "This is your Murong family's 'Shenhezhi'! Back then, I learned it from your ancestors, but I only learned some superficial skills. I don't know how many other wonderful martial arts of Murong's family. Hehe, could it be that you, a young man, have earned the name of Gusu Murong's "returning the other's way with the other's way"?"
The heroes were originally shocked by the prestige of "Gusu Murong", but when they saw Murong Fu lose to Duan Yu and then Xiao Feng, they all thought in their hearts: "It's better to be famous than to meet! Although it can't be said that the reputation is in vain, it doesn't necessarily shock the world. How amazing." Seeing the gray-clothed monk show this magical skill, and hearing him say that he only learned some superficial aspects of Murong's "Shenhe Finger", he couldn't help paying respect to the four characters of "Gusu Murong".Everyone was wondering: "Who is this gray-clothed monk? What does he have to do with the Murong family?"
The gray-clothed monk turned around and said to Xiao Feng Heshi: "Hero Qiao is outstanding in martial arts, he really deserves his reputation, I want to learn some moves!" Xiao Feng had been on guard for a long time, when he saluted with Heshi, he returned the salute with his fists and said: " Don't dare!" When the two internal forces collided, their bodies shook slightly at the same time.
At this moment, suddenly there was a black-clothed figure in mid-air, like a big eagle, it swooped down, just landed between the gray-clothed monk and Xiao Feng.This man suddenly fell from the sky, very abruptly, everyone shouted in amazement, and when his feet landed on the ground, they saw clearly that he was holding a long rope in his hand, and the other end of the long rope was tied to a place more than ten zhang away. On top of a big tree.I saw this man covered his face with a black cloth, only revealing a pair of cold eyes.
The man in black and the monk in gray stood opposite each other. After a while, neither of them spoke.The heroes saw that both of them were very tall, but the man in black was taller, while the monk in gray was extremely thin.
Only Xiao Feng was happy and grateful, from the movement of the man in black swiping his long rope, he recognized that it was the big man in black who saved his life in Juxian Village that day.Among the heroes gathered on Shaoshi Mountain at this moment, quite a few had participated in the meeting at Juxian Village that day, but at that time the big man in black was fleeting, and no one could see his movement clearly. He is not going out.
After a long while, the two in black and gray suddenly said at the same time: "You..." But as soon as the word "you" came out, the two immediately stopped talking.After a while, the gray-clothed monk said: "Who are you?" The black-clothed man said: "Who are you?"
Hearing these four words from the black-clothed monk, all the heroes said in their hearts: "This monk has an old voice, so he is also an old monk."
Xiao Feng heard that this voice was exactly the tone of that big man teaching him that day in the barren mountain, his heart was beating violently, he just wanted to go up immediately to recognize each other and thank him for saving his life.
The gray-clothed monk said: "You have been hiding beside the Shaolin Temple for decades, have you stolen enough of the Shaolin martial arts secret books?" The man in black said: "I was going to ask you too, you have been hiding beside the Shaolin Temple for decades, Have you copied enough manuscripts in the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple?"
As soon as the two said these words, all the Shaolin monks from Abbot Xuanci down were very surprised: "Why do these two people accuse each other of stealing the martial arts secret book from this temple? Could it be true?"
The monk in gray said: "I hid next to the Shaolin Temple to borrow some things." The man in black said: "I hid next to the Shaolin Temple to borrow some things. We have three contests, and we should have already decided who is better." The monk in black said: "That's right. Your Excellency is very good at martial arts. I am very grateful for your guidance." The man in black said: "Your Excellency is not complacent, you are diligent and unremitting, and my brother admires you very much."
The gray-clothed monk said: "In this case, you and I don't need to argue anymore." The black-clothed man said: "Very good." The two nodded, and walked together under a big tree, sat side by side, and closed their eyes. Eyes, as if in a trance, no longer speak.
The gray-clothed monk meditated with his eyes closed under the big tree. The events of the past few decades came one after another in his heart:
The past is vague.
This monk in gray is Murong Fu's father, Murong Bo.Over the years, he has kept his name incognito and lurked by feigning death. In fact, he often acts secretly in the Central Plains.
That year, Murong Bo fled from Yanmen Pass back to Canhe Village, Yanziwu, Suzhou, and hid in a closed cellar for seven days.For the past seven days, his whole body was trembling, and his heart was full of fear, no matter how softly his wife comforted her, the fear in his heart could not be reduced by a single bit.The scene of blood and flesh flying outside Yanmen Pass made it difficult for him to sleep. Even in his sleep, he would always see that big man with a bearded face, his eyes wide open, his eyes seemed to be dripping blood, and seemed to spew out fire. When he swung his left palm and chopped with his right hand, some people's muscles and bones were broken and their heads fell to the ground.Murong Bo hid far away behind the rocks, saw this Khitan man killed more than a dozen heroes of his own Han people in a short time, saw him kick the leader brother and leader of the beggar gang Wang Jiantong, saw him carving words on the mountain wall with a short knife, saw him He jumped into the deep valley, and saw him throwing a baby from the valley... Murong Bo hid behind the rock for a long time, until it was dark, a Han warrior hugged the child, and took the lead brother and Wang Jiantong away , he is still stiff, and it is difficult to take a step...
Murong Bo was taught by his grandfather and father since he was a child, and he took "rejuvenating the Yan Kingdom" as his lifelong aspiration. However, at that time, Song and Liao were friendly, and the army was not booming. There was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so Murong Bo took his wealth and went to the Liao Kingdom. , managed to make friends with Khitan nobles, and got acquainted with the inside story of the Liao court.Knowing that the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom is in power, and the most trusted clansman of the Empress Dowager is Xiao Yuanshan, the head coach of the Shan Army.This man is extremely skilled in martial arts, and he advocated the relationship between Liao and Song Dynasty throughout his life. Whenever a general or official in the Liao Dynasty proposed to invade the Song Dynasty, Xiao Yuanshan would speak to the Empress Dowager, urging the blessing of the truce between the two countries: Once the war is in trouble, not only will the people suffer, but also the treacherous and sycophant will take power, and the family and country will be in chaos.
The Empress Dowager is very convinced of Xiao Yuanshan, so the proposal to invade the Song Dynasty has never come to fruition.Murong Bo knew that the opportunity to restore the country should be to get rid of this person, so he secretly plotted, inquired about this person's usual preferences, trying to exploit his weakness.Today I heard from a relative of Xiao Yuanshan that the eighth day of September is Xiao Yuanshan's father-in-law's birthday, on that day he will go to Wuzhou with his wife and children to pay respects to his birthday.From the Liao Kingdom to Wuzhou, one often takes the Yanmen Pass to the south of the Great Wall, and then west to Wuzhou.
When Murong Bo got this news, it was the hottest month of August, so he rushed to Shaolin Temple to report the news, saying that the Liao Kingdom sent masters to attack Shaolin Temple around the Double Ninth Festival, intending to plunder the martial arts classics stored in the temple and teach them martial arts. General of the Liao Kingdom.Within a few years, the Liao army marched southward, and the Song army was by no means its enemy on the battlefield, and the Han people were in peril.
This matter is related to the lifeblood of the common people in the world and the martial arts in the Central Plains. The Shaolin monks immediately sent a message and summoned heroes from all walks of life to conspire to countermeasures.Murong Bofu came back from Shangjing to the south of the Liao Kingdom, and he spoke clearly about the movements of the Liao Kingdom court, military situation and soldiers, without any flaws.The heroes agreed, and they went to Wuzhou, Daizhou, Shuozhou, and Yingzhou in batches to try to stop them.Yanmen Pass is an important route for the Liao Kingdom to go south, the warriors from the Central Plains concentrated their experts and guarded at a secluded place outside Yanmen Pass, and finally intercepted Xiao Yuanshan and his party.Even though he killed his wife, Xiao Yuanshan's high martial arts skills are truly frightening, unimaginable...
When the heroes find out that the situation has changed, they will definitely visit the door to inquire. Murong Bo already knew that he was unwilling and unable to face the questioning of his martial arts friends, because he had indeed spread rumors and deceived people, with the purpose of provoking trouble. The dispute between Song and Liao is hoped to have an opportunity to "rejuvenate the Yan Kingdom", how can we directly inherit the matter?Although his own martial arts are not weak, but the Han people are so powerful that it is hard to resist after all.After returning to Yanmen Pass, he immediately returned to the south and lived in seclusion in the cellar of his home, never going out.During this period, Shaolin Temple sent people to visit him. He and his wife had already prepared a statement. They only said that he left home for a trip more than half a year ago, and he has not returned so far.
The ancestor of the Murong family, Long Chenggong, created a unique skill of "Fighting and Star Shifting". Although this exquisite martial art that can divert the opponent's attack has created a famous name for the Murong family of "returning the other's way, return to the other's body", but It has the meaning of "marrying according to people".He thought to himself, Shaolin Kung Fu is the top of the Central Plains Kung Fu, if they can get the 72 unique skills and pass them on to the winged men and horses who secretly correct them, then the strength of the Murong family's restoration of the country will be even stronger and stronger.
The Murong family has tried to revive for several generations, and the family has accumulated gold and silver.After discussing with his wife, Murong Bo disguised himself as a merchant, brought a lot of gold and silver, and came to Dengfeng, Henan Province. He first did some local business in the county town, got acquainted with local merchants, and then went to a farm near the Shaolin Temple Buy local products, then buy houses and farmland, and settle down in the local area.He was far-sighted, often wearing a bamboo hat and shouldering a hoe, and cultivated vegetables and fruits in the mountain behind the Sutra Pavilion. He met several monks in charge of the Sutra Pavilion, and often sent some fresh agricultural products such as peaches, apricots, pears, and dates.In less than half a year, they found out how to prevent and dry books in the Sutra Pavilion, work shifts, and collect secret books in the Sutra Pavilion.One person has a heart, others have no intention, and all the monks in charge don't care.Shaolin Temple has always been kind to people, and it always welcomes people who borrow Buddhist scriptures.At the beginning, Murong Bo borrowed a few Buddhist scriptures such as "Amitabha Sutra", "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra", "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's Universal Gate", and gradually borrowed more and more scriptures such as "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra".
Seeing that the time was ripe and the monks in charge had no doubts about him, he sneaked into the Sutra Pavilion one night after the third watch, and found a copy of "Nianhua Fingering" on the bookshelf. Flip through, and see the detailed practice method in the manuscript, from simple to deep, with unparalleled mystery. It is stated in the book that after success, the finger force can pierce wood thorn bricks, which is extremely powerful.Murong Bo immediately lit up the oil lamp, took out a pen and paper, and copied this "Nianhua Fingering" in detail.In the evening of the next day, Murong Bo sneaked into the Sutra Pavilion again, put the "Nianhua Fingering Method" back in its place, and took four copies of "Great Vajra Fist Method".He was extremely alert, whenever he saw something unusual in the pavilion, he would hide in hiding for several days.With his high martial arts, when he borrowed and returned the secret book, he was not noticed by the monk in charge.
After transcribing in this way for more than four months, we have obtained 28 copies of more than 30 volumes of secret books.It was already winter at that time, and at the end of the year, he missed his wife and returned to Suzhou, bringing back some thirty volumes of secret art manuscripts, which can be said to be a rewarding return.He hid the manuscripts in the cellar, selected several unique skills, and practiced according to the law every day, practicing diligently.That winter, Murong Bo's wife became pregnant, and Murong Bo stayed in Suzhou forever, waiting for his wife to give birth.He named his son Murong Fu, hoping that his son Ke Shao Jiqiu would inherit the behest of his ancestors.
Murong Bo Zhan read the teachings of his ancestors, and his ambition to restore the country was surging in his chest, so he began to grow a beard, painted light ink on his face, and darkened his complexion. At the same time, he wore brocade embroidery. The slanted drawing is downward, deepening the corners of the mouth, making him look sad. If he meets his old lover at this time, others will definitely not recognize him.After changing his face and changing his appearance, he went out to make friends and called himself Yan and Longyuan. He was in the jewelry business handed down from his ancestors, and his original Suzhou dialect was changed to the northern dialect in Dengfeng, Henan Province.The Murong family has accumulated wealth for several generations, and the family wealth is very rich. Murong Bo has used it in the Jianghu.
After autumn, he disguised himself as a merchant again and went to Dengfeng, where he lived in his old residence. At night, he sneaked into the Buddhist scriptures pavilion to borrow martial arts secret books. After a few months, he copied more than ten books of martial arts.One day at midnight, he was looking through books in the pavilion, and saw a stack of manuscripts on the shelf in his left hand. The cover of the top volume was inscribed "Essence of Prajna Palm", and he immediately took a copy and put it in his arms.Just as he was about to turn around and walk out of the pavilion, suddenly there was a rustle of wind behind him. Someone patted his left shoulder and said in a low voice, "Come with me!"
Murong Bo was shocked, how could someone approach him without vigilance?When I looked back, I saw a burly figure flashing out of the pavilion, and he followed behind him.The man ran several miles and came to a plain in the valley.The man stopped abruptly, turned around and said, "You secretly learned Shaolin Kungfu, and your grades are good, right? Wait for me to try." He said and clapped his hands.Murong Bo didn't dare to be careless, he raised his palms to greet each other, when he threw away his opponent's palms, he felt that the palms were powerful and powerful, he immediately took a step back and said: "I dare to borrow martial arts classics from the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Shaolin Temple, After copying, return the original, and dare not damage it in the slightest. The copy is only for self-study by the next person, and will never be passed on to others. I don’t know if you are a Shaolin disciple? Please hold your hand high and not pursue it.”
The man laughed and said: "I'm not a Shaolin disciple, but I have a problem with the Shaolin sect. Sooner or later, I will fight for life and death with the masters of the temple. I also want to borrow the Shaolin sect's martial arts secret book, and see if the Shaolin sect is famous all over the world. I want to know for sure whether Shaolin's unique skills are really good or not. In the future, if the two of us meet in the Buddhist scripture pavilion, we don't have to worry about it, and we can do our own thing." Murong Bo said: "This is the best. In Xiayan Longyuan, I am so lucky to have met Gao Xian today." The big man cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yan, you are welcome, let's just leave!" He turned around and walked quickly up the hillside on the right.
Since meeting someone's palms that night, Murong Bo's actions have become more restrained and cautious, and after copying more than ten volumes of secret books, he is thinking of his wife and children, and he is about to return home.
The next year Murong Bo went to Dengfeng again, copying the secret copy every night.Two months later, he met the big man outside the Sutra Pavilion again, and the big man asked him to try his hands again, and he said nothing maliciously.The two fought for the second time, after more than a hundred moves, Murong Bo jumped back, bowed and said: "Thank you for your guidance, I am not your opponent!" The big man said: "Brother Yan, don't be too modest. You don't want to be complacent , is a good man, I admire you so much. Let's meet again next year!"
This date is like testing Murong Bo's martial arts.He set off immediately and returned to Suzhou to practice martial arts.Autumn went to winter, Murong Bo bid farewell to his wife, went to Dengfeng merchants again, sneaked into the Buddhist scripture pavilion to copy at night, within a few months, he copied more than 30 volumes.Entering the Sutra Pavilion this evening, I looked at the bookshelves. In addition to the secret books that have been transcribed, the bookshelves are full of "Avatamsaka Sutra", "Maha Prajna Sutra", "Great Wisdom Sutra", "Central Agama Sutra" ", "Changbu Agama Sutra" and other scriptures, there is not a secret method of inner strength.他叹了口气，心想所录的少林绝技已有五六十门之多，每一门功夫都得花上数年时间习练，手中已有的功诀，这一生无论如何是练不完了，今后不必再来，以免为寺中高手察觉。出得阁来，抬头望着空中一轮明月，忽然间心头一轻，犹如移去了一块大石，登觉神清气爽。
突然间有人自右首欺近身来，说道：“燕兄，咱们再试试掌去！”正是那魁梧大汉。两人奔至山谷中的平野，那大汉更不打话，劈面便是一掌，慕容博挥掌挡开，两人掌来拳往，不出丝毫声息。那大汉的掌法变幻多端，慕容博逐一施展少林绝技中的“般若掌”、“无相劫指”、“拈花指”等，便是“伏魔杖法”、“九天九地方便铲法”等器械功夫，也化在拳掌之中施展出来。两人贴身近搏，只一顿饭时分，已拆斗三百余招。正斗得急切，慕容博倏地跃出圈子，抱拳说道：“多承指点，蒙尊驾手下留情，在下受惠良多。”
那大汉道：“燕兄武技精妙，咱二人不分高下。燕兄既来少林寺盗经，当以少林派为对头，在下与少林派仇深似海，你我敌忾同仇，当为同道中人。”慕容博尚未答话，那大汉一转身，远远地去了。
忽听得一个谦和的声音在背后响起：“施主请了，小僧有礼！”慕容博转过身来，只见身后五尺外站着一个青年黄衣僧人，脸带微笑，双手合十为礼。慕容博抱拳还礼，说道：“大师呼唤在下，不知有何见教？”那僧人道：“小僧乃吐蕃国密教僧人，适才见施主与人对掌，武功精妙之极，小僧心生钦佩，冒昧上前攀谈。”慕容博道：“大师远来不易，请移步舍下奉茶，俾得多所请教。”当下二人互通姓名。鸠摩智适才见了慕容博的拳掌之技，心下佩服，当即欣然随往。
两人谈起武功，鸠摩智有心向他学招，但想与他素无渊源，贸然求人传以秘技绝招，对方必不允诺，唯一的法子是投桃报李，各得其利，便道：“慕容先生，小僧在吐蕃国密教宁玛派出家，因与吐蕃国黑教邪徒争斗剧烈，从上师处学得'火焰刀'之技。'火焰刀'能以内力凝聚于手掌掌缘，运气送出，威力非小。今日与先生言语投机，非敢炫示己能，仅为剖析武技，请先生莫怪。”说着提起手掌，凝聚内力，嗤的一声轻响，在窗纸上凌空劈出一缝，冷风飕飕地从细缝中直吹进来。
慕容博道：“大师神功高妙，小可甚为佩服！”鸠摩智道：“小僧于'火焰刀'之技初学乍练，仅略窥门径，然将来必可大成。今晚与先生邂逅相遇，实是有缘。佛家讲究缘法，缘法到时，神通自现。小僧大胆，想将这'火焰刀'之法传授于先生，不知先生嫌小僧太过冒昧么？”慕容博寻思：“我与他素昧平生，他竟愿意主动传功，其中必有深意，且看他到底打些什么主意。”
慕容博忙起身行礼。鸠摩智合十还礼，说道：“咱们不是师徒传法，乃朋友间互相切磋，交换传技。先生万万不可多礼。”当下详述“火焰刀”的修炼法诀，要慕容博用心记忆，不可笔录，因密教传法传功，必须口耳相传，不似显教佛教有经典可资念诵。
慕容博用心记忆，不觉天色已明。慕容博道：“大师这'火焰刀'神功，果然奇妙无方，以在下所知，或许只大理段氏的'一阳指'可资匹敌。但据闻'一阳指'运劲缓慢，远不及'火焰刀'之动念即至。”鸠摩智道：“这该是运功之人功力有别。”慕容博道：“正是。传言大理段氏尚有'六脉神剑'绝技，手指上可发六种内力，交叉运使，更加神奇，欲求得其术，想是难上加难。”鸠摩智道：“大理段氏的绝顶高手，尽皆聚于天龙寺，欲得《六脉神剑剑谱》，非上天龙寺不可。小僧与天龙寺高僧同为释氏弟子，当设法一求。如侥幸求得，自当与先生共享。”
慕容博心想：“《六脉神剑剑谱》如此难得，他如何愿与我共享？况且他随口一言，一来不会当真费心去求，二来学武之人，千辛万苦地得到神功妙法，我无恩于他，他怎肯轻易赠我？他适才说道'交换传技'，多半是要旨所在。”便即说道：“常言道得好：无功不受禄。大师今日传我'火焰刀'功法，在下感激不尽。这些年来，在下潜入少林寺藏经阁，借抄了七十二门绝技功法，现下手边有三十余册抄本。今日午后起，我二人共同再录副本，副本尽数赠于大师。苏州舍下尚有五十余册功法，在下即日返家，抄录副本。待大师取得《六脉神剑剑谱》，便请光临苏州燕子坞参合庄，在下将那五十余本绝技副本相赠，交换《六脉神剑剑谱》，大师以为如何？”
鸠摩智大喜，当下与慕容博三击掌相约，言明别后各自努力，日后交换武学典籍。鸠摩智言明：天龙寺诸高僧武功深湛，自己习练“火焰刀”未久，目前未能前往求观《六脉神剑剑谱》，尚须精进修炼，假以时日，倘能功力大成，自当履践今日之约。慕容博取出手边三十余册抄本，当即与鸠摩智再抄副本，数日后抄完，赠了给鸠摩智。鸠摩智称谢再三，自回吐蕃研习少林绝技，自知'火焰刀'功力尚浅，亦更下苦功，戮力修习。
年岁匆匆飞逝，这些年来，慕容博、慕容复父子二人博览群籍，武功随时日而长。一日慕容复进后堂来报，说道有一位少林老僧玄悲登门求见。慕容复应父亲之命，出厅向玄悲言道爹爹不在家中，不露任何口风与迹象。慕容博在地窖中耽了数日，料得玄悲早已远去，与妻子暗中商议后，决心诈死以绝后患。慕容博离家数月后，由妻子向儿子及众家臣言明，老爷已在外逝世，接着筹办丧事，棺殓、发讣、设灵、开吊、祭奠、入葬等事宜一一齐办。
隐匿数年后，慕容博静极思动，化身燕龙渊，在两淮一带营商出没，自称是“姑苏慕容”氏部属，传出黑字燕旗令，以高明武功慑服归顺的江湖豪杰，广扩势力，却不露丝毫风声。慕容复年岁渐长，形貌俊雅，学武有成，亦在江湖上闯出一番名头，“南慕容”遂与“北乔峰”并称中原武林两大高手。
又过数年，慕容博得悉玄悲大师前赴大理，于是暗中跟随，在陆凉州身戒寺中陡施袭击。玄悲大师出其不意，以少林绝技“大韦陀杵”迎击。慕容博径以家传武技抵御，不料玄悲武功渊深，“大韦陀杵”威力奇劲，远出慕容博意料，他一时轻敌，登感不支，只得施出“斗转星移”之技，将“大韦陀杵”还击玄悲自身，玄悲登时中招毙命。
日后鸠摩智自大理天龙寺擒得段誉，来到慕容家侍婢阿碧所居的琴韵小筑，言明要将活的《六脉神剑剑谱》焚烧于慕容博墓前，以换取约定的武学秘本。阿朱、阿碧禀告了慕容夫人，奉命对鸠摩智敷衍以应，并救了段誉脱险。岂知丐帮帮主乔峰身世之谜遭人揭露，慕容博心想，数十年前的旧账重新翻起，大是可虑，要妻子约束儿子，千万不可介入此事，以免惹祸上身。不料在少林大会上，慕容复还是与萧峰动上了手。
慕容复得灰衣僧救了性命，又惭愧，又感激，但他只道父亲已死，并不知这灰衣僧就是自己爹爹，寻思：“这位高僧识得我的先人，不知相识的是我爷爷，还是爹爹？今后兴复大事，势非请这高僧详加指点不可，今日可决不能交臂失之。”退在一旁，不敢便去打扰，要待那灰衣僧站起身来，再上去叩领教益。
王语嫣想到慕容复适才险些自刎，这时兀自惊魂未定，拉着他的衣袖，泪水涔涔而下。慕容复心感厌烦，不过她究是一片好意，却也不便甩袖将她摔开。
灰衣僧和黑衣人相继现身，直到偕赴树下打坐，虚竹和丁春秋始终在剧斗不休。这时群雄的目光又都转到他二人身上来。
灵鹫四姝中的菊剑忽然想起一事，走向那十八名契丹武士身前，说道：“我主人正在跟人相斗，须得喝点儿酒，力气才得大增。”一名契丹武士道：“这儿酒浆甚多，姑娘尽管取用。”说着提起两只大皮袋。菊剑笑道：“多谢！我家主人酒量不大，有一袋也就够了。”提起一袋烈酒，拔开了袋上木塞，慢慢走近虚竹和丁春秋相斗之处，叫道：“主人，你给星宿老怪种生死符，得用些酒水吧！”横转皮袋，使劲向前送出，袋中烈酒化作一道酒箭，向虚竹射去。梅兰竹三姝拍手叫道：“菊妹，妙极！”
忽听得山坡后有一个女子声音娇滴滴地唱道：“一枝浓艳露凝香，云雨巫山枉断肠。我乃杨贵妃是也，好酒啊好酒，奴家醉倒沉香亭畔也！”
虚竹和丁春秋剧斗良久，苦无制他之法，听得灵鹫宫属下男女众人叫他以'生死符'对付，见菊剑以酒水射到，当即伸手一抄，抓了一把，忽见山后转出八个人来，正是琴癫康广陵、棋魔范百龄、书呆苟读、画狂吴领军、神医薛慕华、巧匠冯阿三、花痴石清风、戏迷李傀儡等“函谷八友”。八人见虚竹和丁春秋拳来脚往，打得酣畅淋漓，当即大叫助威：“掌门师叔今日大显神通，快杀丁春秋，给我们祖师爷和师父报仇！”
其时菊剑手中烈酒还在不住向虚竹射去，她武功平平，一部份竟喷向丁春秋。星宿老怪恶斗虚竹，辗转打了半个时辰，但觉对方妙着层出不穷，给他迫住了手脚，种种邪术没法施展，陡然见到酒水射来，心念一动，左袖拂出，将酒水拂成四散飞溅的酒雨，向虚竹泼去。这时虚竹全身功劲行开，千千万万酒点飞到，没碰到衣衫，便已给他内劲撞了开去，蓦听得“啊啊”两声，菊剑翻身摔倒。丁春秋将酒水化作雨点拂出来时，每一滴都已然染上毒质。菊剑站得较近，身沾毒雨，当即倒地。
段誉站在一旁，只见王语嫣恋恋不舍地拉住慕容复衣袖，好生没趣，蓦见菊剑身沾毒雨摔倒，知道菊剑是二哥的下属，当即抢上，横抱菊剑退开。
虚竹关心菊剑，甚是惶急，却不知如何救他才是，更听得薛慕华凉叫：“师叔，这毒药好生厉害，请快制住老贼，逼他取解药救治。”虚竹叫道：“不错！”右掌挥舞，不绝向丁春秋进攻，左掌掌心中暗运内功，逆转北冥真气，不多时已将掌中酒水化作七八片寒冰，右掌飕飕飕连拍三掌。
丁春秋乍觉寒风袭体，吃了一惊：“这小贼秃的阳刚内力，怎地徒然变了？”忙凝全力招架，猛地里肩头“缺盆穴”上微微一寒，便如碰上一片雪花，跟着小腹“天枢穴”、大腿“伏兔穴”、上臂“天泉穴”三处也觉凉飕飕的。丁春秋加催掌力抵挡，忽然间后颈“天柱穴”、背心“神道穴”、后腰“志室穴”三处也均微微一凉，丁春秋大奇：“他掌力便再阴寒，也决不能绕了弯去袭我背后，何况寒凉处都在穴道之上，到底小贼秃有甚古怪邪门？可要小心了。”双袖拂处，袖间藏腿，猛力向虚竹踢出。
不料右脚踢到半途，突然间“伏兔穴”和“志室穴”同时奇痒难当，情不自禁“啊哟”一声，叫了出来。右脚尖明明已碰到虚竹僧衣，但两处要穴同时发痒，右脚自然而然地垂下。他一声“啊哟”叫过，跟着又“啊哟、啊哟”两声。
众门人高声颂赞：“星宿老仙神通广大，双袖微摆，小妞儿便身中仙法倒地！”“他老人家一蹬足天崩地裂，一摇手日月无光！”“星宿老仙大袖摆动，口吐真言，叫你们旁门左道牛鬼蛇神，一个个死无葬身之地。”歌功颂德声中，夹杂着星宿老仙“啊哟”又“啊哟”的一声声叫唤，委实不太相称。众门人精乖的已愕然住口，大多数却还是放大了嗓门直嚷。
丁春秋霎时之间，但觉缺盆、天枢、伏兔、天泉、天柱、神道、志室七处穴道中同时麻痒难当，直如千千万万只虱子同时在咬啮一般。这酒水化成的冰片中附有虚竹的内力，寒冰入体，随即化去，内力却留在他穴道经脉之中。丁春秋手忙脚乱，不断在怀中掏摸，一口气服了七八种解药，通了五六次内息，穴道中麻痒却越加厉害。换作旁人，早已滚倒在地，丁春秋神功惊人，苦苦撑持，脚步踉跄，有如喝醉了酒，脸上一阵红，一阵白，双手乱舞，情状可怖。这七枚生死符乃烈酒所化，与寻常寒冰又自不同。
星宿派门人见师父如此狼狈，一个个静了下来，有几个死硬之人仍在叫嚷：“星宿老仙正在运使大罗金仙舞蹈功，待会小和尚便知厉害了。”“星宿老仙一声'啊哟'，小和尚的三魂六魄便给叫去了一分！”但这等死撑面子之言，已叫得殊不响亮。
李傀儡大声唱道：“五花马，千金袭，呼儿将出换美酒，与尔同销万古愁。哈哈，我乃李太白是也！饮中八仙，第一乃诗仙李太白，第二乃星宿老仙丁春秋！”群雄见到丁春秋醉态可掬，狼狈万状，听了李傀儡的话，一齐轰笑。
过不多时，丁春秋终于支持不住，伸手乱扯自己胡须，将一丛银也似的美髯扯得一根根随风飞舞，跟着便撕裂衣衫，露出一身雪白的肌肤。他年纪已老，身子却兀自精壮如少年，手指到处，身上便鲜血迸流，用力撕抓，不住口地号叫：“痒死我了！痒死我了！”又过一刻，左膝跪倒，越叫越惨厉。
虚竹颇感后悔：“这人虽罪有应得，但所受的苦恼竟如此厉害。早知这样，我只给他种上一两片生死符，也就够了。”
群雄见这个童颜鹤发、神仙也似的武林高人，霎时间竟形如鬼魅，嘶唤有如野兽，都不禁骇然变色，连李傀儡也吓得哑口无言。只大树下的黑衣人和灰衣僧仍闭目静坐，直如不闻不见。
玄慈方丈说道：“善哉，善哉！虚竹，你便解去了丁施主身上的苦难吧！”虚竹应道：“是！谨遵方丈法旨！”玄寂忽道：“且慢！方丈师兄，丁春秋作恶多端，我玄难、玄痛两位师兄都命丧其手，岂能轻易饶他？”康广陵道：“掌门师叔，你是本派掌门，何必去听旁人言语？我师祖、师父的大仇，焉可不报？”
虚竹一时没了主意，不知如何是好。薛慕华道：“师叔，先要他取解药要紧。”虚竹点头道：“正是。梅剑姑娘，你将镇痒丸给他服上半粒。”梅剑应道：“是！”从怀中取出一个绿色小瓶，倒出一粒豆大的丸药来，然见丁春秋如癫如狂的神态，不敢走近。
虚竹接过药丸，劈成两半，叫道：“丁先生，张开口来，我给你服镇痒丸！”丁春秋嗬嗬而呼，张大了口，虚竹手指轻弹，半粒药丸飞去，送入他喉咙。药力一时未能行到，丁春秋仍痒得满地打滚，过了一顿饭时分，奇痒稍戢，这才站起。
他神智始终不失，心知再也不能反抗，不等虚竹开口，自行取出解药，乖乖地去交给薛慕华，说道：“红色外搽，白色内服！”他喊叫了半天，说出话来已哑不成声。薛慕华料他不敢作怪，依法给菊剑敷搽服食。
梅剑朗声道：“星宿老怪，这半粒止痒丸可止三日之痒。过了三天，奇痒又再发作，那时候我主人是否再赐灵药，要瞧你乖不乖了。”丁春秋全身发抖，说不出话来。
星宿派门人登时有数百人争先恐后地奔出，跪在虚竹面前，恳请收录，有的说；“灵鹫宫主人英雄无敌，小人忠诚归附，死心塌地，愿为主人效犬马之劳。”有的说：“这天下武林盟主一席，非主人莫属。只须主人下令动手，小人赴汤蹈火，万死不辞。”更有许多显得赤胆忠心，指着丁春秋痛骂不已，骂他“灯烛之火，居然也敢和日月争光”，说他“心怀叵测，邪恶不堪。”又有人要求虚竹速速将丁春秋处死，为世间除此丑类。只听得丝竹锣鼓响起，众门人大声唱了起来：“灵鹫主人，德配天地，威震当世，古今无比。”除了将“星宿老仙”四字改为“灵鹫主人”之外，其余曲调词句，便和“星宿老仙颂”一模一样。
虚竹虽为人质朴，但听星宿派门人如此颂赞，却也不自禁地有些飘飘然起来。
兰剑喝道：“你们这些卑鄙小人，怎么将吹拍星宿老怪的陈腔烂调、无耻言语，转而称颂我主人？无礼之极！”星宿门人登时大为惶恐，有的道：“是，是！小人立即另出机杼，花样翻新，包管让仙姑满意。”有的大声唱
