Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve
Di Yun climbed over the wall and came to Wanjia's study.At that time it was already dawn, in the haze, I saw a person lying on the ground, vaguely it was Qi Fang.Di Yun was startled, he hurriedly took the fire knife and flint, lit the candle on the table, under the light of the candle, he saw Qi Fang's body was covered with blood, and a short knife was stuck in his abdomen.
Bricks were piled up beside her, and a hole was opened in the wall, and Wan's father and son were no longer inside.
Di Yun leaned over and knelt beside Qi Fang, and shouted. "Junior Sister, Junior Sister!" He was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his voice was almost hoarse, he stretched out his hand to touch Qi Fang's face, he felt that there was still warmth, and he was still breathing lightly through his nose.
He calmed down a bit, and called again: "Junior Sister!" Qi Fang slowly opened her eyes, with a wry smile on her face, and said, "Senior Brother...I...I'm sorry for you."
Di Yun said: "Don't talk. I... I'll save you." Gently put the water spinach aside, hugged Qi Fang's body with his right hand, grabbed the handle of the short knife with his left hand, and tried to pull it out.But at a glance, he saw that the knife had been inserted into her lower abdomen half a foot deep, if the knife was pulled out, it would kill her immediately, so he didn't dare to pull it out, he was so anxious that he couldn't do anything, he asked: "What should I do? What should I do? It's... who harmed you?" Qi Fang smiled wryly, "Senior brother, people say: a one-night couple... Oh, don't talk about it, I... don't blame me. I couldn't bear it, so let me go Husband...he...he..."
Di Yun gritted his teeth and said, "He...he...he stabbed you instead, didn't he?"
Qi Fang smiled wryly and nodded.
Di Yun's heart ached like a knife, seeing that Qi Fang's life was in an instant, Wan Gui's knife stabbed her so hard, no matter what, it was impossible to save her.In his heart, there is a poisonous snake of jealousy secretly gnawing: "You...you love your husband after all, and you would rather die than save him."
Qi Fang said: "Senior Brother, you promise me to take good care of Water Spinach as if it were you... your own daughter."
Di Yun fell silent, nodded, and gritted his teeth, "Where did this thief... go?"
Qi Fang's eyes were scattered, her voice was vague, and she said softly: "In that cave, two big butterflies flew in, Liang Shanbo, Zhu Yingtai, senior brother, look, look! One is you, the other is me. Let's The two... fly back and forth like this, and never separate, do you agree?" His voice gradually became weaker, and his breathing gradually weakened.
Holding water spinach in one hand and Qi Fang's body in the other, Di Yun jumped out from the wall of Wanjia.He originally wanted to burn down the Wan family's big house, but then he thought: "Once this house is burned, the Wan family and his son will never come back again. If we want to avenge our junior sister, we must let this house stay."
Di Yun rushed to the abandoned garden where Ding Dian died, dug a hole under the plum tree, and buried Qi Fang's body, but kept the dagger by his side.He was determined to use this knife to take the lives of Wan's father and son.
He was so sad that he couldn't cry, but couldn't stop blaming himself: "Why didn't you beat these two thieves to death first, and then throw them into the hole in the wall? Why were you so careless, and finally killed your junior sister?" He didn't blame his junior sister. , only to blame.already.
Water Spinach couldn't stop crying: "Mom, Mom!" It made him upset.So I found a farm outside Jiangling City, gave ten taels of silver, and asked a peasant woman to take care of the girl.
He waited around Wan's house day and night, half a month passed, and he didn't see any trace of Wan's father and son.Strangely, even Lu Kun, Bu Yuan, Sun Jun, Feng Tan, Shen Cheng and others also disappeared and never came back to Wanjia.The servants and servants of the Wan family were in a mess, some started stealing, some were arguing and fighting.
In Jiangling City, many martial arts figures gathered from all directions. One night, Di Yun overheard the conversation of a few high-ranking charlatans: "The Liancheng sword formula was originally hidden in a "Selected Collection of Tang Poems", and the four words above the head read 'Jiangling City South'." "Yeah, quite a few people came here after hearing the news. I just don't know what words are after these four words." "Who cares what the word is after him? Let's just guard the south of Jiangling City. Someone has dug up a treasure, so let him block the road and rob him." "That's right. Even if you can't be robbed, at least you can get a share. Whoever sees it has a share, so why don't we miss it?" "Hehe! There are quite a few people in the Jiangling Bookstore who have gone to buy "Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty" in the past few days. Today I walked into the bookstore, and before I even opened my mouth, the clerk said, "Master, you want to buy "Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty"?" We just rushed to deliver this book in Hankou. If you want to buy it, please be early, or it will be sold out if it is too late." I was very surprised and asked him: "How do you know that I want to buy "Selected Poems of Tang Dynasty"?" Guess what he said? " "I don't know! What did he say?" "Damn it. The guy said: 'To tell you the truth, old man, these days, when you come to the bookstore, eleven out of ten will buy this book. Books. Five taels of silver a piece, isn't your grandpa's platform suitable?'" "His grandma's, how can there be such an expensive book?" "Do you know the price of the book? Have you ever bought a book?" "Haha, I have never been in a bookstore in my life. Books, books, my favorite gambling in my life, I just buy to win, but I never buy books (lose). Hehe, hehe!" Di Yun thought: "The secret of the Liancheng Sword Art has been spread, who spread it? That's right, Lu Kun and the others listened to the words of Wan's father and son. Wan Zhenshan wanted to investigate, but the disciples ran away In this way, more and more people know about it.” He remembered that when he was in prison with Ding Dian, there were many nobles who heard about it, but they were all beaten to death by Ding Dian. "Well, brother Ding's big business has not been done yet. Big brother Ding's business is more important than my own revenge."
Miss Ling's father was the magistrate of Jiangling Prefecture.After Di Yun went to the largest coffin shop and tombstone shop in Jiangling City, he found out that Miss Ling's grave was on a small hill twelve miles outside the east gate of Jiangling. He bought a shovel and a pickaxe, went out the east gate, and soon found the tomb.On the tombstone are written the seven characters "Tomb of My Daughter Ling Shuanghua".There are no flowers or trees in front of the tomb.Miss Ling loved flowers the most during her lifetime, but her father never planted one for her. "My daughter, my daughter, hehe, do you really love this daughter?" He sneered, thinking of Ding Dian and Qi Fang, he couldn't help but burst into tears again. His clothes were already drenched with tears mourning Qi Fang.In front of Ling Shuanghua's tomb, new tears were added. There was no house near the hill, and it was far away from the main road, and no one passed by.But the grave cannot be dug during the day.It was not until it was completely dark that the tomb soil was dug up, and then the big stone sealed with three-fold soil was dug up, and the coffin was revealed. After going through the hardships and hardships of the past few years, Di Yun is no longer a person who is easy to be sad and teary, but seeing this coffin under the bleak blade light, thinking that Brother Ding died because of this coffin, he can't help but No matter how sad you are, you can't stop crying. Ling Tuisi once painted the poison of "Jinbo Xunhua" on the outside of the coffin. Although it has been a long time since the coffin was carried to be buried here, he expected that the poison outside the coffin had already been wiped off, but he did not dare to take the risk of reaching out to touch the extruded wood. He pulled out the blood knife and gently pushed it through the seam of the coffin lid.The bloody knife sliced gold and cut jade, and when it met wood, it was like batching tofu. He didn't need to use much force, he had already cut off all the tenons of the coffin lid, with a shake of his right arm, the force was everywhere, and the coffin lid flew up. Suddenly, I saw two decayed hands raised upwards in the coffin.As soon as the coffin lid flew up, both hands fell down, as if they could move.Di Yun was taken aback and thought to himself: "When Ms. Ling was in the coffin, why did she raise her hands high? This is really strange." There were no shrouds, quilts and other general burial items in the coffin. The lady only wears a single dress. Di Yun silently prayed: "Brother Ding, Miss Ling, the two of you couldn't be husband and wife in life, and your wish to be buried together after death has finally been fulfilled. You two are alive after death, so you should smile under the nine springs." He took the burden on his back, opened it, and scattered Ding Dian's ashes on Miss Ling's body.He knelt down on the ground, bowed respectfully four times, then stood up, wrapped the bundle of ashes in his hands, and went to lift the coffin lid to put it back on. The moonlight shone obliquely, and there were faint words written on the back of the coffin lid.Di Yun took a closer look and saw that the words were crooked, and it said: "Ding Lang, Ding Lang, in the next life, we will be husband and wife again." Di Yun's heart felt cold, and he fell down and sat on the ground. These words were obviously carved with fingernails. After contemplating, he understood: "Miss Ling was buried alive by her father. When she was put into the coffin, She is not dead yet. This word was carved with her nails when she was about to die. So until she died, her hands were always raised. There is such a cruel father in the world! Brother Ding is always unyielding, and Miss Ling is always up to the task! Brother Ding. The more her father waited, the more he hated her, and finally he did it." He thought again: "The magistrate Ling found out that Brother Ding had escaped from prison, and knew that he would go to him to settle the score, so he hurriedly painted the poison of 'Jinbo Xunhua' on the outside of the coffin. .This person's heart is a hundred times more poisonous than 'Jinbo Xunhua'." He leaned closer to the coffin lid and read those two lines again.I saw that under these few words, there are three cute characters, all of which are numbers such as "forty-one, thirty-three, twenty-eight".Di Yun took a deep breath and said in his heart: "That's right, Miss Ling still remembered her wish to be buried with Brother Ding until she was about to die. She promised Brother Ding that if she could be buried with Brother Ding, she would bury Liancheng together." The secret of the sword formula was told to this person. Brother Ding told me some things in the abandoned garden, but he died of poison before he could finish. Father and son were torn to pieces. I only knew that this secret would be lost forever, but Miss Ling wrote it here." He silently wished: "Miss Ling, you really believe in people, thank you for your kindness, but I am so heartbroken, I wish I could dig my own hole, kill myself and die, and stay by your and Brother Ding's side. I have to kill Wan's father and son and your father. Gold, silver and jewels are like dust in my eyes." He lifted the coffin lid, and was about to close the coffin when he suddenly had an idea: "Oh, that's right! Wan Shi The father and son did not know where they were hiding at this time, and I am afraid that they will never be found again in this life, but if the secret of the great treasure is written in a conspicuous place, the Wan family and his son will definitely hear the news. Yes, this secret is a big bait Well, even if Wan's father and son are suspicious, even if they are ten times more careful, they must come to see this secret." He put down the coffin lid, looked at the numbers clearly, scratched the back of the shovel with the tip of the blood knife one by one, and checked it for accuracy after engraving. The graveyard was piled up again. "This big wish is over! After avenging the great revenge, we must plant hundreds of chrysanthemums here. Brother Ding and Miss Ling love chrysanthemums most. It is best to find the famous green chrysanthemums of 'Spring Water and Blue Waves'! "
The next morning, three lines of numbers written in lime water suddenly appeared on the city wall next to the south gate of Jiangling.Each character is about a foot square, and can be seen from a distance, "four, forty-one, thirty-three, fifty-three..." The strange thing is that these lines of characters are more than two feet away from the ground. A ladder that is not so long can allow people to climb up to write, unless they hang down from the top of the city with a rope to write. At the foot of the city wall more than ten feet away from these few lines, Di Yun pretended to be a beggar, took off his ragged cotton jacket, and sat in the sun to catch lice. There are many people coming in and out from the south gate, within a few hours, there are people talking about it in the streets and teahouses in Jiangling city, and many people come to see it for themselves outside the south gate.But these numbers.Apart from the peculiar status of the writing, there is nothing interesting about the writing. Generally idlers read it for a while, make wild guesses, and then leave, but several high-ranking people stayed behind. All these people held a copy of "Selected Poems of Tang Dynasty" in their hands, and copied the numbers on the city wall, frowning and thinking hard. Di Yun saw Sun Jun coming, and Shen Cheng coming.After a while, Lu Kun also came. But they didn't know the sequence of every move in the Liancheng swordsmanship. Although they each had a "Selected Collection of Tang Poetry" in their hands, and although there were large numbers written on the city walls, they expected that these numbers must be secrets in the sword manual. The master and his son consulted the secret method, but they didn't know which poem each number should be used in. In this world, only Wan Zhenshan, Yan Daping, and Qi Changfa know about it. Lu Kun and the other three were discussing quietly.Di Yun couldn't hear them because they were far away.Seeing the three talking for a while, they went back to the city. After a while, all three of them came out in disguise.One pretended to be a fruit seller and picked up a load of oranges, one pretended to be a vegetable vendor, and the other pretended to be a villager with a hoe.The three sat at the foot of the city wall, watching the passers-by. Di Yun guessed their thoughts.They were waiting for Wan Zhenshan to arrive.They can't understand this secret, but as long as they follow Wan Zhenshan and find the treasure, even if they can't get it, there is always hope for a share.It is of course extremely dangerous to meet Master again, but if you want to make a fortune, how can you be afraid of danger? The first four numbers in "Liancheng Sword Manual" have already been circulated, "four, forty-one, thirty-three, fifty-three", that is "Jiangling City South" "four, forty-one, thirty-three, Fifty-three", there will be a series of numbers in the future, no matter how stupid a person is, they will think that it must be the secret in the sword manual. More and more people sat down at the foot of the city wall, some of them put on makeup, and some showed their true colors in a big way.Di Yun counted them, and there were seventy-eight people in total.After a while, Bu Yuan and Feng Tan also came. For some reason, the two senior brothers were arguing red-faced and almost fighting, but they finally calmed down and sat by the moat. In the afternoon, Wan's father and son did not show up.In the evening, Wan's father and son still did not show up.Many people are already yelling.The ancestors of the Wan family suddenly became famous, especially Wan Zhenshan's grandma. It was getting dark, and a man who looked like a teacher took a piece of paper, an ink cartridge, and a pen, shook his head, and copied these lines on the city wall.A big man was so bored that he had no place to vent his anger. He grabbed the man and asked, "Why are you copying these words?" The big man said: "Are you going to say it? If you don't say it, I'll hit you." Lifting his fist the size of a vinegar bowl, he shook it back and forth in front of the tip of his nose.The gentleman was frightened, and said: "Yes... I was asked to copy it." The big man said: "Who told you to copy it?" The gentleman said: "An old gentleman, no... I will tell you , is the well-known Mr. Wan Zhenshan Wan in this city, you...you can't offend him." As soon as the three words "Wan Zhenshan" came out, everyone booed.Di Yun was even more joyful, but this joy was mixed with too much hatred and sadness. The gentleman walked ahead tremblingly, with one foot high and the other low, stumbling straight eastward, followed by more than a hundred people at a distance.Since Wan Zhenshan didn't come, he went to find Wan Zhenshan.Only he can learn the secrets in detail.This matter has been revealed, there are many people, and they want to force Wan Zhenshan to find the treasure.Many people praised the big man: "Fortunately, your brother is smart. Why didn't we expect Wan Zhenshan to send someone to copy the numbers? If it weren't for your brother, everyone would have waited three days and three nights by the city gate, but Wan Zhenshan would have already I have hidden the treasure." The big man was very proud, and said: "This sour scholar is sneaky, I guess what he did is not a good thing." It seems that what he himself did was a good thing. Di Yun was among the crowd, feeling faintly: "Wan Zhenshan is a treacherous and cunning man, he will never be found so easily. There must be a trick in it." At this time, the group of people had left the south gate for several miles, he turned his head and turned to him again. Looking over the city wall, at a glance, I saw a figure passing by the city wall and rushing westward. Di Yun thought: "This group of people are staring at this teacher, and they are determined not to be afraid of him leaving. If they find Wan Zhenshan, they will never leave him. In such a large Jiangling city, it is very difficult to find Wan's father, but It is easy to find such a large group of people in such a mess, why should I follow the crowd?" With a thought in his mind, he dodged and hid behind a tree, then started his lightness kung fu, turned around and ran towards the south gate, and then headed west.He hurriedly followed the figure's whereabouts, and caught up with him in less than a cup of tea.Since Di Yun's internal energy has been cultivated to perfection, his lightness energy is correspondingly high, and his feet are extremely agile.The person he was chasing was also very good at lightness kung fu, but it was far behind Di Yun.The man didn't realize that someone was following him, he just ran quickly. Seeing him rushing to a small room, Di Yun opened the door and entered.Di Yun stood guard outside the door, waiting for him to come out. After a while, he saw light coming from the window of the hut.He dodged under the window and looked in through the crack, only to see an old man sitting in the room with his back to the window, unable to see his face.Looking at his back, it is the person who was following just now. The old man spread out a book on the table, and Di Yun knew immediately it was "Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty". This book has been very popular in Jiangling City these days, unexpectedly the old man has a copy. I saw him take a bald pen and write the four characters "Jiangling City South" on a piece of yellow paper, and he whispered "15, 10, 15, 18... the 18th character" , Then write the word "bias" on the paper. Di Yun was taken aback: "Surely this person can find words in this Tang poem, so could it be that he also knows how to use swordsmanship?" Looking at his back, it's obviously not Wan Zhenshan.The old man was wearing a shabby gray cloth gown, his identity could not be discerned. I saw him look up the book for a while, count with his fingers for a while, and then write a word, a total of 26 words.Di Yun read it word by word, and saw that it was: ... the statue in the main hall of Xitianning Temple worshiped him devoutly and communicated with spirits, and wished the Tathagata to bless him and give him a blissful rebirth. The old man was furious, he slapped the pen on the table heavily, and said: "What's 'worship to him devoutly, pray to the spirit', and what's 'blessed by the Tathagata, reborn in bliss'! His grandma's, 'reborn in bliss', this Didn't you tell someone to go see the King of Hades?" Di Yun heard the man's voice very familiar, and while he was thinking, the man turned his head and turned his face.Di Yun shrank and shrank under the window, thinking: "It's the second martial uncle, no wonder he knows sword moves. But what kind of secret is this? It turned out to be a joke." He couldn't help laughing in his heart: "There are so many People put so much thought into killing their master and fellow disciples, it turned out to be just a joke." He didn't laugh out loud, but in the room, Yan Daping laughed loudly: "Haha, tell me to worship the Tathagata Buddha devoutly, pray through spiritual channels, and this fucking stinky Bodhisattva made of clay and wood will bless me. Haha, his grandma told me to go to blissful rebirth. We joined forces to kill the master, and the three brothers fought each other. It turned out that everyone wanted to fight for the "best rebirth". In Jiangling City, hundreds of heroes, tortoises and robbers, Fighting and fighting, all for the sake of 'rebirth in bliss', haha, haha!" The laughter was full of misery, and while laughing, they tore the yellow paper to pieces. Suddenly, he stood motionless, staring out the window blankly. Di Yun remembered that the reason why he was in such a catastrophe and why Qi Fang died was because of the secret of the Liancheng Sword Art, and the secret was a few joking words, his heart was filled with grief and indignation, and he couldn't help but shout laugh. At this moment, Yan Daping looked out the window and seemed to see something.He could only hear him muttering to himself: "When we get to this field, we can go to Tianning Temple to have a look. That's okay. Jiangling City is south to west. Yes, there is indeed such an ancient temple." He waved his hand, turned off the oil lamp, Push the door and come out, unfold the lightness kung fu and run westward. Di Yun hesitated: "Should I go look for Wan Zhenshan, or go with Master Yan? Well, those large groups of people are easier to find, so let's follow Master Yan first." Back, chase down.
In less than half an hour, Yan Daping had arrived outside the ancient temple of Tianning Temple.He first listened for a while outside the temple, and then turned around the temple, and heard that there was no one in the temple, so he opened the door and entered. Today, Tianning Temple is located in a remote place, in disrepair for a long time, with decayed gates and ruined walls, and there is no temple to wish monks in the temple.When Yan Daping came to the main hall, he flickered the fire and went to light the candles on the altar. Under the light of the fire, he saw the tears of the candles seemed quite fresh. With a thought, he stretched out his hands to squeeze them. Sure enough, the tears of the candles were soft, obviously not long ago. Someone has lit this candle.Suspicious in his heart, he blew out the fire, and was about to step out to investigate, when he suddenly felt pain in his back, a sharp knife pierced into his body, and with a loud cry, he died instantly. Di Yun hid behind the second gate, when he saw the fire suddenly extinguished, Yan Daping screamed, knowing that he had been plotted against, this happened hastily, there was no time for rescue.He simply didn't move, depending on who hurt Yan Daping.In the darkness, only one person sneered "Hey, hey, hey".When the sound came to the ears, Di Yun couldn't help feeling agitated. The laughter was eerie, yet very familiar. Suddenly the fire flickered, someone lit a candle, and the candle light fell on the man.The man turned his face slowly. Di Yun almost blurted out: "Master!" This person is actually Qi Changfa. He kicked Yan Daping's body, pulled out the long sword on his back, and stabbed him several times in the vest. Seeing how vicious and cruel Master killed his fellow disciples, Di Yun restrained himself as soon as the words "Master" came to his lips. Qi Changfa sneered, and said, "Second senior brother, you have also found out the secret in the Liancheng Sword Manual, right? Hehe! 'Jiangling City is two to the south, and there is a Buddha statue in the main hall of Tianning Temple. Worship it devoutly, and pray for it', haha , Second Senior Brother, the sword manual says 'Blessed by the Tathagata, reborn in blissful rebirth', aren't you reborn in blissful bliss now? Isn't this 'Blessed by the Tathagata'?" He turned his head and looked at the kind-faced Tathagata statue.His face was full of hostility, he looked at it viciously for a while, and said: "Your grandma's stinky Buddha has played tricks on me all my life, and it will be hard for me to hurt me!" He jumped onto the altar, raised his long sword, and made three bangs , Cut three swords seven times in a row on the belly of the Buddha statue. Ordinary Buddha statues are clay sculptures and wood carvings, but when the three swords were cut on them, there was a clanging sound of metal.Qi Changfa was startled, and cut two more swords, but felt that the sword was extremely hard.He picked up the candlestick and took a closer look, only to see the deep marks on the sword marks, revealing a brilliant golden light. Qi Chang was stunned, and stretched out his fingers to peel off the soil between the two sword marks.He couldn't help shouting: "The big golden Buddha is all gold, all gold!" This Buddha statue is more than three feet high, thick and fat, far more than ordinary Buddha statues, as if the whole body is made of gold, at least five to sixty thousand catties, what is it if it is not a great treasure? In ecstasy, he contemplated for a moment, turned to the back of the Buddha statue, raised his sword to criticize, and saw that there seemed to be a small secret door in the waist of the Buddha statue.He kept chopping hard, and the clay sculptures splashed everywhere. He only chipped dozens of gaps in the long sword, and only then did he cut off all the clay sculptures around the secret door.Seeing that the secret door was also made of gold, Qi Changfa put his sword into the gap around the secret door to pry it a few times, overjoyed and flustered, the long sword broke with a snap. He picked up the half-cut sword and went to the other side of the secret door to pry it again.After prying a few more times, the secret door gradually loosened.Qi Changfa threw down the broken sword, stretched out his fingers to gently open the secret door, held up the candle to shine it on, and saw the jewels in the Buddha's belly, floating in the mist, I don't know how many pearls are hidden in this big belly. Qi Changfa swallowed his saliva, and was about to reach into the secret door to find some jewels to have a look, when he suddenly felt the altar shake slightly.He knew something was wrong, he jumped down, his left foot just touched the ground, he felt a pain in his lower abdomen, someone had already hit the acupoints, he fell to the ground with a thud. A man came out from under the altar, tilted his head and sneered, and said, "Junior Brother Qi, you can find it here, the second child can find it here, why don't you think about it, the elder brother can find it here too!" Shake the mountains. Qi Changfa suddenly found a big treasure, even though he was so meticulous, he couldn't help being overjoyed at the end after seeing all these jewels, in a moment of distraction, he followed Wan Zhenshan's way, and said bitterly: "It's the first time you've tricked me. I didn’t die, I didn’t expect to die by your hands.” Wan Zhenshan was extremely proud, and said: “I’m just wondering, Junior Brother Qi, I strangled you to death and locked you up in the wall, how could I come back to life again? "Qi Changfa closed his eyes and did not answer. Wan Zhenshan said: "If you don't answer, can't I guess? At that time, you were no match for us, so you just held your breath and pretended to be dead. After being sealed in the sandwich wall, you were able to escape. It's amazing! What a skill! One piece protruded, and I always felt that it was not appropriate, but I never thought that it was kicked out when you were struggling to escape." !After Wan Zhenshan sealed Qi Changfa in the wall that day, he saw a brick protruding from the wall the next day. This incident made him very disturbed, and he didn't dare to open the wall to inspect Qi Changfa's body. Suffering from the disease of leaving the soul, he got up to build a wall in his sleep.He was always afraid that Qi Changfa's "zombie" would come out of the hole in the wall, so he built it again and again in his sleep to seal the hole firmly.He sneered again and said: "Hey, you are really amazing. You watched your daughter become my daughter-in-law and never showed up. Let me ask you, what is that for? For what?" Qi Changfa spit thick phlegm at him. Wan Zhenshan dodged to dodge, and said with a smile: "Old man, do you want to die simply, or do you prefer to suffer piecemeal? If you want to die quickly, just tell me, what method do you use in that small inn?" I stole the sword manual, and my second child and I couldn't find it." Qi Changfa sneered, "Isn't that easy? I waited for you two to sleep like pigs that night, so I quietly got up and opened the iron box, and opened the sword manual. It was stuffed under the drawer and between the desk, and the next morning, the sword manual disappeared without a trace. The three of us had a quarrel and we broke up and left. You were following Yan Daping, and Yan Daping was following me , I will follow you. The three of us followed each other for a month and then we separated. I went back to the small inn, took out the sword manual from the drawer, and hid it in the old clothes room of the suitcase when I went home. I don’t know why, but I took it to my daughter. The surname Wan, please give me a good time!” Wan Zhenshan grinned and said: "Okay, I'll give you a happy one. Logically speaking, I can't give you such a cheap price, but your senior brother has no time, so you have to quickly paint the Buddha statue with mud. Good junior brother, go on your way obediently!" "As he spoke, he lifted the long sword and stabbed it at Qi Changfa's chest. Suddenly a red light flashed, and Wan Zhenshan fell to the ground with his right arm at elbow level, and was kicked away. It was Di Yun who saved Qi Changfa's life with the bloody knife. He leaned over and untied Qi Changfa's acupuncture points, and said, "Master, you are startled!" This incident happened so quickly, Qi Chang was stunned for a long time, and then he recognized Di Yun clearly, and said, "Yun... Yun'er, is it you?" "These two words could not help but feel sad, and said: "Yes, master, it is Yun'er." Qi Changfa said: "You have seen all this." Di Yun nodded and said: "Junior sister, junior sister, She...she..." Wan Zhenshan broke his arm, struggled to get up, and rushed out of the temple.Qi Changfa rushed forward, a sword pierced through the vest and came out through the chest.Wan Zhenshan let out a miserable cry and died on the spot. Qi Changfa looked at the corpses of the two senior brothers, and said slowly: "Yun'er, it's fortunate that you arrived in time and saved Master's life. Hey, who is coming over there? Is it Fang'er?" side. When Di Yun heard the word "Fang'er", his heart was shocked, he turned his head to look, but there was no one there, just as he was surprised, he suddenly felt a pain in his back.He grabbed the wrist of the attacking enemy with his backhand, turned his head, and saw that the man was holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, it was his master Qi Changfa.Di Yun was very confused, and said: "Master...Master...what crime did this disciple commit, you want to kill me?" He just remembered that just now, the master stabbed him in the back just because he had black silkworm clothes Protecting himself, he escaped with his life again. Qi Changfa grabbed his wrist for him, half of his body was sore and numb, and he couldn't use half of his strength. Frightened and angry, he said bitterly: "Okay, you have learned a good martial arts, so you won't take Master seriously. You kill me Ah, kill quickly, kill quickly, why don't you kill?" Di Yun let go of his hand, still puzzled, and said, "How dare I kill Master?" Qi Changfa shouted: "What are you doing so hypocritically? This is a big Buddha made of gold. Don't you want to swallow it all for yourself? If I don't kill you, you will kill me. What's so strange? This is a golden Buddha, and the belly of the Buddha statue is full of gold. Priceless treasure, why don't you kill me? Why don't you kill me?" He yelled loudly, his voice was full of greed, anger, and regret, and the voice didn't sound like a human voice, but like a wounded beast Howling in the wilderness. Di Yun shook his head, took a few steps back, and thought: "Master wants to kill me, so it's because of this golden Buddha?" In an instant, he understood everything: Qi Changfa could kill his master and senior brother for the sake of wealth. , Regardless of the life and death of his own daughter, why can't he kill his apprentice?Ding Dian's words sounded in his heart: "His nickname is 'Iron Lock Hengjiang', what can't he do?" He took another step back and said, "Master, I don't want to share your golden Buddha, you go alone to make a fortune Let’s go.” He really couldn’t understand: a person who doesn’t want any relatives, master, brothers, apprentices, or even his own daughter, what happiness is there when he has a priceless treasure? Qi Changfa couldn't believe his ears anymore, and thought to himself: "Who in the world is not happy to see so many gold jewels? This kid Di Yun must have other tricks." What the hell? This is a big golden Buddha, the belly of the Buddha is full of jewels, why don't you want it? What kind of tricks are you going to use?" Di Yun shook his head, and was about to go out of the temple when he heard footsteps, and many people rushed over.He climbed onto the roof, looked out, and saw more than a hundred people lighting torches, making noise and rushing towards them. It was that group of tyrants, who could only hear someone yelling, "Wan Gui, damn it!" Yes, let’s go, let’s go!” Di Yun wanted to leave, but when he heard the word “Wan Gui”, he stopped immediately.He hasn't avenged Qi Fang yet. This group of people scrambled to enter the temple, Di Yun could see clearly that Wan Gui was twisted by several big men, his eyes were bruised and his nose was swollen, he had already been beaten up, and he was still wearing the sour scholar's clothes.It turned out that he disguised himself as a teacher, and purposely lured all the nobles by the city wall away, so that Wan Zhenshan could come to Tianning Temple to hunt for treasures.But under the follow-up and investigation of everyone, they finally showed their flaws.Everyone threatened his life and forced him to bring him to Tianning Temple. Qi Changfa heard people's voices, and hurriedly jumped onto the altar, trying to cover the gold exposed from the sword marks on the Buddha statue.But it was a step too late, and everyone saw him standing on the altar, covering the big belly of the Buddha statue with his hands.At this time, dozens of torches illuminated the temple like daylight.Seeing the golden light, everyone yelled loudly, rushed forward, and went to chop off the clay sculpture on the Buddha statue in a hurry.Everyone slashed with swords and swords, and after a while, the Buddha statue was full of brilliant golden lights. Then someone found the secret door behind the Buddha statue, reached in, and took out a large amount of jewelry, and the person standing behind pushed him away forcefully.The jewels were fumbled out in handfuls.The powerful Haoshi plundered from others. Suddenly the trumpet blew outside the door, the temple door opened wide, and dozens of soldiers rushed in, shouting: "Master Zhifu is here, no one is allowed to move." Then a man in official uniform burst out proudly, It was Ling Tuisi, the magistrate of Jingzhou Prefecture.He has many eyes and ears inside and outside the city, and among these high-ranking gangsters, there are his subordinates. As soon as he got the news, he immediately sent troops to come. Ling Tuisi killed Ding Dian and forced his daughter to death, and still had no clue about the "Liancheng Jue", but his obsession with searching for the great treasure in Jingzhou has never ceased. ".He continued to pay a large amount of bribes, was re-elected as the magistrate of Jingzhou Prefecture, and as the leader of the "Longsha Gang", he sent out gang members to investigate, and finally got information that this "Liancheng Jue" was related to a "Selected Tang Poetry". Ling Tuisi was born in the Imperial Academy, with excellent literary talents. When he looked through "Selected Poems of Tang Dynasty", he saw that some poems were written by poets of the late Tang Dynasty. It was five or six years after Emperor Liang Yuan. Further investigative investigation.It turns out that after Emperor Liang Yuan hid the treasure, he killed all the officers, soldiers and craftsmen he handled. Later, he was killed by the officers and soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the treasure was never found.During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, an eminent monk with strong martial arts suddenly found a treasure in Tianning Temple in Jingzhou, Xixi. He wrote the news in a letter and sent it to Wu Liuqi, the Hongqi incense master of the Tiandihui at that time. Ask him to dig it out and use it for the Tiandihui to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.For fear of leaking the secret, he injected the password (sword formula) where the treasure was located into a "Selected Poetry of Tang Dynasty" that was circulated at that time, and sent it to Wu Liuqi.Wu Liuqi is his senior brother's disciple, according to the same sect, he and that eminent monk know both "Tang Poems and Swordsmanship" and know the sequence of swordsmanship.Unfortunately, when the code was sent, Wu Liuqi was in trouble and was harmed by others, and the code of this sword formula was left outside.The sender spread the message over and over again, if the message is not connected with "Selected Poems of Tang Dynasty", it will not be a piece; if the person who gets the message does not know "Tang Poems and Swordsmanship", although he knows the tactics of swordsmanship, he does not know the order of sword moves. Also hard to find.Mei Nianzhu was a fellow disciple of that eminent monk and Wu Liuqi, who could master "Tang Poetry and Sword Art", and later learned the sword art, but the matter was not secret, and ended up being betrayed and killed by three disciples. After seeing so many jewels, how can all the high-ranking people be afraid of the government?Everyone just desperately snatches the treasure. 地下滚满了珍珠、宝石、金器、白玉、翡翠、珊瑚、祖母绿、猫儿眼…… 凌退思的部属又怎会不抢？兵丁先俯身捡拾，于是官长也抢了起来。谁都不肯落后。威长发在抢、万圭在抢、连堂堂知搿大人凌退思，也忍不住将一把把珠宝揣入怀中。 一抢夺，便不免斗殴。于是有人打胜了，有人流血，有人死了。 这些人越斗越厉害，有人突然间扑到金佛上，抱住了佛像狂咬，有的人用头猛撞。 狄云觉得很奇怪：“为什么会这样？就算是财迷心窍，也不该这么发疯？” 不错，他们个个都发了疯，红了眼乱打、乱咬、乱撕。狄云见到钤剑双侠中的汪啸风在其中，见到“落花流水”的花铁干也在其中，更有不少人是曾到雪谷中去救水笙、又出言侮辱她的群豪大汉，其中很有些是为人仁义的豪侠。他们一般地都变成了野兽，在乱咬、乱抢，将珠宝塞到嘴里，咬得格格作响，有的人把珠宝吞人了肚里。 狄云蓦地里明白了：“这些珠宝上喂得有极厉害的毒药。当年藏宝的皇帝怕魏兵抢劫，因此在珠宝上涂了毒药。”他想去救师父，但已来不及了。这些人中毒之后，人人都难活命，凌退思、万圭、鲁坤、卜坦、沈城等人作了不少恶，终于发了大财，但不必去杀他们，他们都已活不成了。
狄云在丁典和凌姑娘的坟前种了几百棵菊花。他没雇人帮忙，全是自己动手。他是庄稼人，锄地种植的事本是内行。只不过他从前很少种花，种的是辣椒、黄瓜、冬瓜、白菜、茄子、空心菜…… 他离了荆州城，抱着空心菜，匹马走上了征途。他不愿再在江湖上厮混，他要找一个人迹不到的荒僻之地，将空心菜养大成人。 他回到了川边的雪谷。 戚芳在万家给他的一百两银子，除了在荆州城给丁典和凌姑娘整理坟墓之外，便是酬谢照顾空心菜那家农妇的一些使费，以及一路从鄂西来到川边的旅途膳宿之费。他在成都给空心菜买了一大包衣服鞋袜，自己也买了些棉衣裤和布衣裤、几十双草鞋，包成一大包都负在背上。来到川边石渠的雪谷口上，还剩下三十几两几钱银子，他在手里掂了掂，用力掷出，抛入了路边的峡谷之中，心道：“便有黄金万两，珍宝无数，在雪谷里又有什么用？” 但师妹没有一起来，今后永远永远不能再来了，再见她一面也不能，寂寞得很，凄凉得很。 “舅舅，舅舅，为什么你又哭了？你想念我妈吗？我们说好了的，谁也不许再哭！” 鹅毛般的大雪又开始飘下，来到了昔日的山洞前。 突然之间，远远望见山洞前站着一个少女。 那是水笙！ 她满脸欢笑，向他飞奔过来，又笑又叫：“我等了你这么久！我知道你终于会回来的。你如不来，我要在这里等你十年，你十年不来，我到江湖上找你一百年！” (End of the book)
In Jiangling City, many martial arts figures gathered from all directions. One night, Di Yun overheard the conversation of a few high-ranking charlatans: "The Liancheng sword formula was originally hidden in a "Selected Collection of Tang Poems", and the four words above the head read 'Jiangling City South'." "Yeah, quite a few people came here after hearing the news. I just don't know what words are after these four words." "Who cares what the word is after him? Let's just guard the south of Jiangling City. Someone has dug up a treasure, so let him block the road and rob him." "That's right. Even if you can't be robbed, at least you can get a share. Whoever sees it has a share, so why don't we miss it?" "Hehe! There are quite a few people in the Jiangling Bookstore who have gone to buy "Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty" in the past few days. Today I walked into the bookstore, and before I even opened my mouth, the clerk said, "Master, you want to buy "Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty"?" We just rushed to deliver this book in Hankou. If you want to buy it, please be early, or it will be sold out if it is too late." I was very surprised and asked him: "How do you know that I want to buy "Selected Poems of Tang Dynasty"?" Guess what he said? " "I don't know! What did he say?" "Damn it. The guy said: 'To tell you the truth, old man, these days, when you come to the bookstore, eleven out of ten will buy this book. Books. Five taels of silver a piece, isn't your grandpa's platform suitable?'" "His grandma's, how can there be such an expensive book?" "Do you know the price of the book? Have you ever bought a book?" "Haha, I have never been in a bookstore in my life. Books, books, my favorite gambling in my life, I just buy to win, but I never buy books (lose). Hehe, hehe!" Di Yun thought: "The secret of the Liancheng Sword Art has been spread, who spread it? That's right, Lu Kun and the others listened to the words of Wan's father and son. Wan Zhenshan wanted to investigate, but the disciples ran away In this way, more and more people know about it.” He remembered that when he was in prison with Ding Dian, there were many nobles who heard about it, but they were all beaten to death by Ding Dian. "Well, brother Ding's big business has not been done yet. Big brother Ding's business is more important than my own revenge."
Miss Ling's father was the magistrate of Jiangling Prefecture.After Di Yun went to the largest coffin shop and tombstone shop in Jiangling City, he found out that Miss Ling's grave was on a small hill twelve miles outside the east gate of Jiangling. He bought a shovel and a pickaxe, went out the east gate, and soon found the tomb.On the tombstone are written the seven characters "Tomb of My Daughter Ling Shuanghua".There are no flowers or trees in front of the tomb.Miss Ling loved flowers the most during her lifetime, but her father never planted one for her. "My daughter, my daughter, hehe, do you really love this daughter?" He sneered, thinking of Ding Dian and Qi Fang, he couldn't help but burst into tears again. His clothes were already drenched with tears mourning Qi Fang.In front of Ling Shuanghua's tomb, new tears were added. There was no house near the hill, and it was far away from the main road, and no one passed by.But the grave cannot be dug during the day.It was not until it was completely dark that the tomb soil was dug up, and then the big stone sealed with three-fold soil was dug up, and the coffin was revealed. After going through the hardships and hardships of the past few years, Di Yun is no longer a person who is easy to be sad and teary, but seeing this coffin under the bleak blade light, thinking that Brother Ding died because of this coffin, he can't help but No matter how sad you are, you can't stop crying. Ling Tuisi once painted the poison of "Jinbo Xunhua" on the outside of the coffin. Although it has been a long time since the coffin was carried to be buried here, he expected that the poison outside the coffin had already been wiped off, but he did not dare to take the risk of reaching out to touch the extruded wood. He pulled out the blood knife and gently pushed it through the seam of the coffin lid.The bloody knife sliced gold and cut jade, and when it met wood, it was like batching tofu. He didn't need to use much force, he had already cut off all the tenons of the coffin lid, with a shake of his right arm, the force was everywhere, and the coffin lid flew up. Suddenly, I saw two decayed hands raised upwards in the coffin.As soon as the coffin lid flew up, both hands fell down, as if they could move.Di Yun was taken aback and thought to himself: "When Ms. Ling was in the coffin, why did she raise her hands high? This is really strange." There were no shrouds, quilts and other general burial items in the coffin. The lady only wears a single dress. Di Yun silently prayed: "Brother Ding, Miss Ling, the two of you couldn't be husband and wife in life, and your wish to be buried together after death has finally been fulfilled. You two are alive after death, so you should smile under the nine springs." He took the burden on his back, opened it, and scattered Ding Dian's ashes on Miss Ling's body.He knelt down on the ground, bowed respectfully four times, then stood up, wrapped the bundle of ashes in his hands, and went to lift the coffin lid to put it back on. The moonlight shone obliquely, and there were faint words written on the back of the coffin lid.Di Yun took a closer look and saw that the words were crooked, and it said: "Ding Lang, Ding Lang, in the next life, we will be husband and wife again." Di Yun's heart felt cold, and he fell down and sat on the ground. These words were obviously carved with fingernails. After contemplating, he understood: "Miss Ling was buried alive by her father. When she was put into the coffin, She is not dead yet. This word was carved with her nails when she was about to die. So until she died, her hands were always raised. There is such a cruel father in the world! Brother Ding is always unyielding, and Miss Ling is always up to the task! Brother Ding. The more her father waited, the more he hated her, and finally he did it." He thought again: "The magistrate Ling found out that Brother Ding had escaped from prison, and knew that he would go to him to settle the score, so he hurriedly painted the poison of 'Jinbo Xunhua' on the outside of the coffin. .This person's heart is a hundred times more poisonous than 'Jinbo Xunhua'." He leaned closer to the coffin lid and read those two lines again.I saw that under these few words, there are three cute characters, all of which are numbers such as "forty-one, thirty-three, twenty-eight".Di Yun took a deep breath and said in his heart: "That's right, Miss Ling still remembered her wish to be buried with Brother Ding until she was about to die. She promised Brother Ding that if she could be buried with Brother Ding, she would bury Liancheng together." The secret of the sword formula was told to this person. Brother Ding told me some things in the abandoned garden, but he died of poison before he could finish. Father and son were torn to pieces. I only knew that this secret would be lost forever, but Miss Ling wrote it here." He silently wished: "Miss Ling, you really believe in people, thank you for your kindness, but I am so heartbroken, I wish I could dig my own hole, kill myself and die, and stay by your and Brother Ding's side. I have to kill Wan's father and son and your father. Gold, silver and jewels are like dust in my eyes." He lifted the coffin lid, and was about to close the coffin when he suddenly had an idea: "Oh, that's right! Wan Shi The father and son did not know where they were hiding at this time, and I am afraid that they will never be found again in this life, but if the secret of the great treasure is written in a conspicuous place, the Wan family and his son will definitely hear the news. Yes, this secret is a big bait Well, even if Wan's father and son are suspicious, even if they are ten times more careful, they must come to see this secret." He put down the coffin lid, looked at the numbers clearly, scratched the back of the shovel with the tip of the blood knife one by one, and checked it for accuracy after engraving. The graveyard was piled up again. "This big wish is over! After avenging the great revenge, we must plant hundreds of chrysanthemums here. Brother Ding and Miss Ling love chrysanthemums most. It is best to find the famous green chrysanthemums of 'Spring Water and Blue Waves'! "
The next morning, three lines of numbers written in lime water suddenly appeared on the city wall next to the south gate of Jiangling.Each character is about a foot square, and can be seen from a distance, "four, forty-one, thirty-three, fifty-three..." The strange thing is that these lines of characters are more than two feet away from the ground. A ladder that is not so long can allow people to climb up to write, unless they hang down from the top of the city with a rope to write. At the foot of the city wall more than ten feet away from these few lines, Di Yun pretended to be a beggar, took off his ragged cotton jacket, and sat in the sun to catch lice. There are many people coming in and out from the south gate, within a few hours, there are people talking about it in the streets and teahouses in Jiangling city, and many people come to see it for themselves outside the south gate.But these numbers.Apart from the peculiar status of the writing, there is nothing interesting about the writing. Generally idlers read it for a while, make wild guesses, and then leave, but several high-ranking people stayed behind. All these people held a copy of "Selected Poems of Tang Dynasty" in their hands, and copied the numbers on the city wall, frowning and thinking hard. Di Yun saw Sun Jun coming, and Shen Cheng coming.After a while, Lu Kun also came. But they didn't know the sequence of every move in the Liancheng swordsmanship. Although they each had a "Selected Collection of Tang Poetry" in their hands, and although there were large numbers written on the city walls, they expected that these numbers must be secrets in the sword manual. The master and his son consulted the secret method, but they didn't know which poem each number should be used in. In this world, only Wan Zhenshan, Yan Daping, and Qi Changfa know about it. Lu Kun and the other three were discussing quietly.Di Yun couldn't hear them because they were far away.Seeing the three talking for a while, they went back to the city. After a while, all three of them came out in disguise.One pretended to be a fruit seller and picked up a load of oranges, one pretended to be a vegetable vendor, and the other pretended to be a villager with a hoe.The three sat at the foot of the city wall, watching the passers-by. Di Yun guessed their thoughts.They were waiting for Wan Zhenshan to arrive.They can't understand this secret, but as long as they follow Wan Zhenshan and find the treasure, even if they can't get it, there is always hope for a share.It is of course extremely dangerous to meet Master again, but if you want to make a fortune, how can you be afraid of danger? The first four numbers in "Liancheng Sword Manual" have already been circulated, "four, forty-one, thirty-three, fifty-three", that is "Jiangling City South" "four, forty-one, thirty-three, Fifty-three", there will be a series of numbers in the future, no matter how stupid a person is, they will think that it must be the secret in the sword manual. More and more people sat down at the foot of the city wall, some of them put on makeup, and some showed their true colors in a big way.Di Yun counted them, and there were seventy-eight people in total.After a while, Bu Yuan and Feng Tan also came. For some reason, the two senior brothers were arguing red-faced and almost fighting, but they finally calmed down and sat by the moat. In the afternoon, Wan's father and son did not show up.In the evening, Wan's father and son still did not show up.Many people are already yelling.The ancestors of the Wan family suddenly became famous, especially Wan Zhenshan's grandma. It was getting dark, and a man who looked like a teacher took a piece of paper, an ink cartridge, and a pen, shook his head, and copied these lines on the city wall.A big man was so bored that he had no place to vent his anger. He grabbed the man and asked, "Why are you copying these words?" The big man said: "Are you going to say it? If you don't say it, I'll hit you." Lifting his fist the size of a vinegar bowl, he shook it back and forth in front of the tip of his nose.The gentleman was frightened, and said: "Yes... I was asked to copy it." The big man said: "Who told you to copy it?" The gentleman said: "An old gentleman, no... I will tell you , is the well-known Mr. Wan Zhenshan Wan in this city, you...you can't offend him." As soon as the three words "Wan Zhenshan" came out, everyone booed.Di Yun was even more joyful, but this joy was mixed with too much hatred and sadness. The gentleman walked ahead tremblingly, with one foot high and the other low, stumbling straight eastward, followed by more than a hundred people at a distance.Since Wan Zhenshan didn't come, he went to find Wan Zhenshan.Only he can learn the secrets in detail.This matter has been revealed, there are many people, and they want to force Wan Zhenshan to find the treasure.Many people praised the big man: "Fortunately, your brother is smart. Why didn't we expect Wan Zhenshan to send someone to copy the numbers? If it weren't for your brother, everyone would have waited three days and three nights by the city gate, but Wan Zhenshan would have already I have hidden the treasure." The big man was very proud, and said: "This sour scholar is sneaky, I guess what he did is not a good thing." It seems that what he himself did was a good thing. Di Yun was among the crowd, feeling faintly: "Wan Zhenshan is a treacherous and cunning man, he will never be found so easily. There must be a trick in it." At this time, the group of people had left the south gate for several miles, he turned his head and turned to him again. Looking over the city wall, at a glance, I saw a figure passing by the city wall and rushing westward. Di Yun thought: "This group of people are staring at this teacher, and they are determined not to be afraid of him leaving. If they find Wan Zhenshan, they will never leave him. In such a large Jiangling city, it is very difficult to find Wan's father, but It is easy to find such a large group of people in such a mess, why should I follow the crowd?" With a thought in his mind, he dodged and hid behind a tree, then started his lightness kung fu, turned around and ran towards the south gate, and then headed west.He hurriedly followed the figure's whereabouts, and caught up with him in less than a cup of tea.Since Di Yun's internal energy has been cultivated to perfection, his lightness energy is correspondingly high, and his feet are extremely agile.The person he was chasing was also very good at lightness kung fu, but it was far behind Di Yun.The man didn't realize that someone was following him, he just ran quickly. Seeing him rushing to a small room, Di Yun opened the door and entered.Di Yun stood guard outside the door, waiting for him to come out. After a while, he saw light coming from the window of the hut.He dodged under the window and looked in through the crack, only to see an old man sitting in the room with his back to the window, unable to see his face.Looking at his back, it is the person who was following just now. The old man spread out a book on the table, and Di Yun knew immediately it was "Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty". This book has been very popular in Jiangling City these days, unexpectedly the old man has a copy. I saw him take a bald pen and write the four characters "Jiangling City South" on a piece of yellow paper, and he whispered "15, 10, 15, 18... the 18th character" , Then write the word "bias" on the paper. Di Yun was taken aback: "Surely this person can find words in this Tang poem, so could it be that he also knows how to use swordsmanship?" Looking at his back, it's obviously not Wan Zhenshan.The old man was wearing a shabby gray cloth gown, his identity could not be discerned. I saw him look up the book for a while, count with his fingers for a while, and then write a word, a total of 26 words.Di Yun read it word by word, and saw that it was: ... the statue in the main hall of Xitianning Temple worshiped him devoutly and communicated with spirits, and wished the Tathagata to bless him and give him a blissful rebirth. The old man was furious, he slapped the pen on the table heavily, and said: "What's 'worship to him devoutly, pray to the spirit', and what's 'blessed by the Tathagata, reborn in bliss'! His grandma's, 'reborn in bliss', this Didn't you tell someone to go see the King of Hades?" Di Yun heard the man's voice very familiar, and while he was thinking, the man turned his head and turned his face.Di Yun shrank and shrank under the window, thinking: "It's the second martial uncle, no wonder he knows sword moves. But what kind of secret is this? It turned out to be a joke." He couldn't help laughing in his heart: "There are so many People put so much thought into killing their master and fellow disciples, it turned out to be just a joke." He didn't laugh out loud, but in the room, Yan Daping laughed loudly: "Haha, tell me to worship the Tathagata Buddha devoutly, pray through spiritual channels, and this fucking stinky Bodhisattva made of clay and wood will bless me. Haha, his grandma told me to go to blissful rebirth. We joined forces to kill the master, and the three brothers fought each other. It turned out that everyone wanted to fight for the "best rebirth". In Jiangling City, hundreds of heroes, tortoises and robbers, Fighting and fighting, all for the sake of 'rebirth in bliss', haha, haha!" The laughter was full of misery, and while laughing, they tore the yellow paper to pieces. Suddenly, he stood motionless, staring out the window blankly. Di Yun remembered that the reason why he was in such a catastrophe and why Qi Fang died was because of the secret of the Liancheng Sword Art, and the secret was a few joking words, his heart was filled with grief and indignation, and he couldn't help but shout laugh. At this moment, Yan Daping looked out the window and seemed to see something.He could only hear him muttering to himself: "When we get to this field, we can go to Tianning Temple to have a look. That's okay. Jiangling City is south to west. Yes, there is indeed such an ancient temple." He waved his hand, turned off the oil lamp, Push the door and come out, unfold the lightness kung fu and run westward. Di Yun hesitated: "Should I go look for Wan Zhenshan, or go with Master Yan? Well, those large groups of people are easier to find, so let's follow Master Yan first." Back, chase down.
In less than half an hour, Yan Daping had arrived outside the ancient temple of Tianning Temple.He first listened for a while outside the temple, and then turned around the temple, and heard that there was no one in the temple, so he opened the door and entered. Today, Tianning Temple is located in a remote place, in disrepair for a long time, with decayed gates and ruined walls, and there is no temple to wish monks in the temple.When Yan Daping came to the main hall, he flickered the fire and went to light the candles on the altar. Under the light of the fire, he saw the tears of the candles seemed quite fresh. With a thought, he stretched out his hands to squeeze them. Sure enough, the tears of the candles were soft, obviously not long ago. Someone has lit this candle.Suspicious in his heart, he blew out the fire, and was about to step out to investigate, when he suddenly felt pain in his back, a sharp knife pierced into his body, and with a loud cry, he died instantly. Di Yun hid behind the second gate, when he saw the fire suddenly extinguished, Yan Daping screamed, knowing that he had been plotted against, this happened hastily, there was no time for rescue.He simply didn't move, depending on who hurt Yan Daping.In the darkness, only one person sneered "Hey, hey, hey".When the sound came to the ears, Di Yun couldn't help feeling agitated. The laughter was eerie, yet very familiar. Suddenly the fire flickered, someone lit a candle, and the candle light fell on the man.The man turned his face slowly. Di Yun almost blurted out: "Master!" This person is actually Qi Changfa. He kicked Yan Daping's body, pulled out the long sword on his back, and stabbed him several times in the vest. Seeing how vicious and cruel Master killed his fellow disciples, Di Yun restrained himself as soon as the words "Master" came to his lips. Qi Changfa sneered, and said, "Second senior brother, you have also found out the secret in the Liancheng Sword Manual, right? Hehe! 'Jiangling City is two to the south, and there is a Buddha statue in the main hall of Tianning Temple. Worship it devoutly, and pray for it', haha , Second Senior Brother, the sword manual says 'Blessed by the Tathagata, reborn in blissful rebirth', aren't you reborn in blissful bliss now? Isn't this 'Blessed by the Tathagata'?" He turned his head and looked at the kind-faced Tathagata statue.His face was full of hostility, he looked at it viciously for a while, and said: "Your grandma's stinky Buddha has played tricks on me all my life, and it will be hard for me to hurt me!" He jumped onto the altar, raised his long sword, and made three bangs , Cut three swords seven times in a row on the belly of the Buddha statue. Ordinary Buddha statues are clay sculptures and wood carvings, but when the three swords were cut on them, there was a clanging sound of metal.Qi Changfa was startled, and cut two more swords, but felt that the sword was extremely hard.He picked up the candlestick and took a closer look, only to see the deep marks on the sword marks, revealing a brilliant golden light. Qi Chang was stunned, and stretched out his fingers to peel off the soil between the two sword marks.He couldn't help shouting: "The big golden Buddha is all gold, all gold!" This Buddha statue is more than three feet high, thick and fat, far more than ordinary Buddha statues, as if the whole body is made of gold, at least five to sixty thousand catties, what is it if it is not a great treasure? In ecstasy, he contemplated for a moment, turned to the back of the Buddha statue, raised his sword to criticize, and saw that there seemed to be a small secret door in the waist of the Buddha statue.He kept chopping hard, and the clay sculptures splashed everywhere. He only chipped dozens of gaps in the long sword, and only then did he cut off all the clay sculptures around the secret door.Seeing that the secret door was also made of gold, Qi Changfa put his sword into the gap around the secret door to pry it a few times, overjoyed and flustered, the long sword broke with a snap. He picked up the half-cut sword and went to the other side of the secret door to pry it again.After prying a few more times, the secret door gradually loosened.Qi Changfa threw down the broken sword, stretched out his fingers to gently open the secret door, held up the candle to shine it on, and saw the jewels in the Buddha's belly, floating in the mist, I don't know how many pearls are hidden in this big belly. Qi Changfa swallowed his saliva, and was about to reach into the secret door to find some jewels to have a look, when he suddenly felt the altar shake slightly.He knew something was wrong, he jumped down, his left foot just touched the ground, he felt a pain in his lower abdomen, someone had already hit the acupoints, he fell to the ground with a thud. A man came out from under the altar, tilted his head and sneered, and said, "Junior Brother Qi, you can find it here, the second child can find it here, why don't you think about it, the elder brother can find it here too!" Shake the mountains. Qi Changfa suddenly found a big treasure, even though he was so meticulous, he couldn't help being overjoyed at the end after seeing all these jewels, in a moment of distraction, he followed Wan Zhenshan's way, and said bitterly: "It's the first time you've tricked me. I didn’t die, I didn’t expect to die by your hands.” Wan Zhenshan was extremely proud, and said: “I’m just wondering, Junior Brother Qi, I strangled you to death and locked you up in the wall, how could I come back to life again? "Qi Changfa closed his eyes and did not answer. Wan Zhenshan said: "If you don't answer, can't I guess? At that time, you were no match for us, so you just held your breath and pretended to be dead. After being sealed in the sandwich wall, you were able to escape. It's amazing! What a skill! One piece protruded, and I always felt that it was not appropriate, but I never thought that it was kicked out when you were struggling to escape." !After Wan Zhenshan sealed Qi Changfa in the wall that day, he saw a brick protruding from the wall the next day. This incident made him very disturbed, and he didn't dare to open the wall to inspect Qi Changfa's body. Suffering from the disease of leaving the soul, he got up to build a wall in his sleep.He was always afraid that Qi Changfa's "zombie" would come out of the hole in the wall, so he built it again and again in his sleep to seal the hole firmly.He sneered again and said: "Hey, you are really amazing. You watched your daughter become my daughter-in-law and never showed up. Let me ask you, what is that for? For what?" Qi Changfa spit thick phlegm at him. Wan Zhenshan dodged to dodge, and said with a smile: "Old man, do you want to die simply, or do you prefer to suffer piecemeal? If you want to die quickly, just tell me, what method do you use in that small inn?" I stole the sword manual, and my second child and I couldn't find it." Qi Changfa sneered, "Isn't that easy? I waited for you two to sleep like pigs that night, so I quietly got up and opened the iron box, and opened the sword manual. It was stuffed under the drawer and between the desk, and the next morning, the sword manual disappeared without a trace. The three of us had a quarrel and we broke up and left. You were following Yan Daping, and Yan Daping was following me , I will follow you. The three of us followed each other for a month and then we separated. I went back to the small inn, took out the sword manual from the drawer, and hid it in the old clothes room of the suitcase when I went home. I don’t know why, but I took it to my daughter. The surname Wan, please give me a good time!” Wan Zhenshan grinned and said: "Okay, I'll give you a happy one. Logically speaking, I can't give you such a cheap price, but your senior brother has no time, so you have to quickly paint the Buddha statue with mud. Good junior brother, go on your way obediently!" "As he spoke, he lifted the long sword and stabbed it at Qi Changfa's chest. Suddenly a red light flashed, and Wan Zhenshan fell to the ground with his right arm at elbow level, and was kicked away. It was Di Yun who saved Qi Changfa's life with the bloody knife. He leaned over and untied Qi Changfa's acupuncture points, and said, "Master, you are startled!" This incident happened so quickly, Qi Chang was stunned for a long time, and then he recognized Di Yun clearly, and said, "Yun... Yun'er, is it you?" "These two words could not help but feel sad, and said: "Yes, master, it is Yun'er." Qi Changfa said: "You have seen all this." Di Yun nodded and said: "Junior sister, junior sister, She...she..." Wan Zhenshan broke his arm, struggled to get up, and rushed out of the temple.Qi Changfa rushed forward, a sword pierced through the vest and came out through the chest.Wan Zhenshan let out a miserable cry and died on the spot. Qi Changfa looked at the corpses of the two senior brothers, and said slowly: "Yun'er, it's fortunate that you arrived in time and saved Master's life. Hey, who is coming over there? Is it Fang'er?" side. When Di Yun heard the word "Fang'er", his heart was shocked, he turned his head to look, but there was no one there, just as he was surprised, he suddenly felt a pain in his back.He grabbed the wrist of the attacking enemy with his backhand, turned his head, and saw that the man was holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, it was his master Qi Changfa.Di Yun was very confused, and said: "Master...Master...what crime did this disciple commit, you want to kill me?" He just remembered that just now, the master stabbed him in the back just because he had black silkworm clothes Protecting himself, he escaped with his life again. Qi Changfa grabbed his wrist for him, half of his body was sore and numb, and he couldn't use half of his strength. Frightened and angry, he said bitterly: "Okay, you have learned a good martial arts, so you won't take Master seriously. You kill me Ah, kill quickly, kill quickly, why don't you kill?" Di Yun let go of his hand, still puzzled, and said, "How dare I kill Master?" Qi Changfa shouted: "What are you doing so hypocritically? This is a big Buddha made of gold. Don't you want to swallow it all for yourself? If I don't kill you, you will kill me. What's so strange? This is a golden Buddha, and the belly of the Buddha statue is full of gold. Priceless treasure, why don't you kill me? Why don't you kill me?" He yelled loudly, his voice was full of greed, anger, and regret, and the voice didn't sound like a human voice, but like a wounded beast Howling in the wilderness. Di Yun shook his head, took a few steps back, and thought: "Master wants to kill me, so it's because of this golden Buddha?" In an instant, he understood everything: Qi Changfa could kill his master and senior brother for the sake of wealth. , Regardless of the life and death of his own daughter, why can't he kill his apprentice?Ding Dian's words sounded in his heart: "His nickname is 'Iron Lock Hengjiang', what can't he do?" He took another step back and said, "Master, I don't want to share your golden Buddha, you go alone to make a fortune Let’s go.” He really couldn’t understand: a person who doesn’t want any relatives, master, brothers, apprentices, or even his own daughter, what happiness is there when he has a priceless treasure? Qi Changfa couldn't believe his ears anymore, and thought to himself: "Who in the world is not happy to see so many gold jewels? This kid Di Yun must have other tricks." What the hell? This is a big golden Buddha, the belly of the Buddha is full of jewels, why don't you want it? What kind of tricks are you going to use?" Di Yun shook his head, and was about to go out of the temple when he heard footsteps, and many people rushed over.He climbed onto the roof, looked out, and saw more than a hundred people lighting torches, making noise and rushing towards them. It was that group of tyrants, who could only hear someone yelling, "Wan Gui, damn it!" Yes, let’s go, let’s go!” Di Yun wanted to leave, but when he heard the word “Wan Gui”, he stopped immediately.He hasn't avenged Qi Fang yet. This group of people scrambled to enter the temple, Di Yun could see clearly that Wan Gui was twisted by several big men, his eyes were bruised and his nose was swollen, he had already been beaten up, and he was still wearing the sour scholar's clothes.It turned out that he disguised himself as a teacher, and purposely lured all the nobles by the city wall away, so that Wan Zhenshan could come to Tianning Temple to hunt for treasures.But under the follow-up and investigation of everyone, they finally showed their flaws.Everyone threatened his life and forced him to bring him to Tianning Temple. Qi Changfa heard people's voices, and hurriedly jumped onto the altar, trying to cover the gold exposed from the sword marks on the Buddha statue.But it was a step too late, and everyone saw him standing on the altar, covering the big belly of the Buddha statue with his hands.At this time, dozens of torches illuminated the temple like daylight.Seeing the golden light, everyone yelled loudly, rushed forward, and went to chop off the clay sculpture on the Buddha statue in a hurry.Everyone slashed with swords and swords, and after a while, the Buddha statue was full of brilliant golden lights. Then someone found the secret door behind the Buddha statue, reached in, and took out a large amount of jewelry, and the person standing behind pushed him away forcefully.The jewels were fumbled out in handfuls.The powerful Haoshi plundered from others. Suddenly the trumpet blew outside the door, the temple door opened wide, and dozens of soldiers rushed in, shouting: "Master Zhifu is here, no one is allowed to move." Then a man in official uniform burst out proudly, It was Ling Tuisi, the magistrate of Jingzhou Prefecture.He has many eyes and ears inside and outside the city, and among these high-ranking gangsters, there are his subordinates. As soon as he got the news, he immediately sent troops to come. Ling Tuisi killed Ding Dian and forced his daughter to death, and still had no clue about the "Liancheng Jue", but his obsession with searching for the great treasure in Jingzhou has never ceased. ".He continued to pay a large amount of bribes, was re-elected as the magistrate of Jingzhou Prefecture, and as the leader of the "Longsha Gang", he sent out gang members to investigate, and finally got information that this "Liancheng Jue" was related to a "Selected Tang Poetry". Ling Tuisi was born in the Imperial Academy, with excellent literary talents. When he looked through "Selected Poems of Tang Dynasty", he saw that some poems were written by poets of the late Tang Dynasty. It was five or six years after Emperor Liang Yuan. Further investigative investigation.It turns out that after Emperor Liang Yuan hid the treasure, he killed all the officers, soldiers and craftsmen he handled. Later, he was killed by the officers and soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the treasure was never found.During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, an eminent monk with strong martial arts suddenly found a treasure in Tianning Temple in Jingzhou, Xixi. He wrote the news in a letter and sent it to Wu Liuqi, the Hongqi incense master of the Tiandihui at that time. Ask him to dig it out and use it for the Tiandihui to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.For fear of leaking the secret, he injected the password (sword formula) where the treasure was located into a "Selected Poetry of Tang Dynasty" that was circulated at that time, and sent it to Wu Liuqi.Wu Liuqi is his senior brother's disciple, according to the same sect, he and that eminent monk know both "Tang Poems and Swordsmanship" and know the sequence of swordsmanship.Unfortunately, when the code was sent, Wu Liuqi was in trouble and was harmed by others, and the code of this sword formula was left outside.The sender spread the message over and over again, if the message is not connected with "Selected Poems of Tang Dynasty", it will not be a piece; if the person who gets the message does not know "Tang Poems and Swordsmanship", although he knows the tactics of swordsmanship, he does not know the order of sword moves. Also hard to find.Mei Nianzhu was a fellow disciple of that eminent monk and Wu Liuqi, who could master "Tang Poetry and Sword Art", and later learned the sword art, but the matter was not secret, and ended up being betrayed and killed by three disciples.
