Chapter 25 Chapter 25 He Huanghuang

Everyone was worried about Zhang Wuji's injury, so they didn't care about chasing him and surrounded him one after another.Xiao Zhao burst into tears and became even more anxious.Zhang Wuji smiled slightly, and waved his right hand lightly, indicating that it was all right, the Nine Suns Divine Art in his body was activated, forcing out the cold air from Xuanming God's Palm, and there were strands of white air bubbling out from the top of his head like a steamer .He unbuttoned his shirt, and there was a deep black palm print on each side.Under the operation of the Nine Suns Divine Art, the two palm prints turned from black to purple, from purple to gray, and finally disappeared.In less than half an hour, the Xuanming palm poison that could not be dispelled for several years in the past was completely eliminated in an instant.He stood up and said, "Although this move was dangerous, it finally made us recognize the face of the enemy."

When Xuan Ming and Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao met palms, they had already been neutralized by the impact of Zhang Wuji's Nine Suns Divine Art, the insidious force in their palms was less than 20% of normal, but Yang Wei and Yang Wei meditated on their own luck, and it took a long time before they were expelled. All insidious.Zhang Wuji was concerned about Grand Master's injury, Zhang Sanfeng said: "Huo Gong Toutuo's internal strength is not good, although his external strength is strong, but it is not as good as Xuanming God's Palm, my injury is not a problem." Zhang Wuji was worried, and it was luck to help Grand Master heal his injury.

At this time, Wu Jincao, who was in charge of the flag of Ruijin Banner, came in to report that all the invading enemies had come down the mountain.Yu Daiyan ordered the Zhike Taoist to arrange a plain banquet for the Mingjiao people.After the banquet, Zhang Wuji bid farewell to Zhang Sanfeng and Yu Daiyanhong.When talking about the process of practicing the "Nine Suns Manual", Zhang Sanfeng recalled the past between Master Jueyuan and Guo Xiang, and he couldn't help sighing, while Zhang Wuji became famous in the battle on the top of the light, he was gratified, and thought of Zhang Cuishan's early death, so he couldn't see him. Aiko became famous and established a career, and couldn't help crying.

Zhang Sanfeng said: "That year was also in the Hall of Sanqing, I had a palm confrontation with this man, the only thing that is known is that he pretended to be a Mongolian military officer, I don't know which of the two elders he is. I am ashamed to say, until today , we still can't figure out the details of the enemy." Yang Xiao said: "I don't know the origin of the girl surnamed Zhao, even the master Xuanming is willing to be driven by her." Everyone speculated, and it was difficult to make a conclusion. Zhang Wuji said: "We have to postpone our trip to Binghuo Island. There are two important matters right now. The first one is to snatch the Black Jade Ointment to treat the injuries of Yu Sanbo and Yin Sixth Uncle. The second one is to inquire about Uncle Song and the others. The whereabouts of the two major events will fall on the girl surnamed Zhao." Yu Daiyan said with a wry smile: "I have been disabled for twenty years, and there is really a magic medicine, which can't be cured. Sixth Brother Zhi and the others are important."

Zhang Wuji said: "It's not too late, I invite Yang Zuoshi, Wei Bawang, and Grandmaster Wei Bu to go down the mountain with me to track down the enemy. The Five Elements Banners each sent out deputy envoys in charge of the flags to fight with Shaolin, Emei, Huashan, Kunlun, and Kongtong respectively. Contact the five sects, explain the reason, and inquire about the news. Grandpa and uncle are invited to go to the south of the Yangtze River to rectify the congregation under Tianying. Daoist Tieguan, Mr. Zhou, Master Peng and the flag envoy of the Five Elements Banner are temporarily stationed in Wudang. Zhang Zhenren's order, take care of it in the middle."

He ordered casually at the table.Yin Tianzheng, Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao and others stood up one by one and bowed to receive the order. At the beginning, Zhang Sanfeng doubted how he could command the heroes at such a young age, but now seeing him give orders, Yin Tianzheng and other martial arts heroes obeyed them one by one, he was very happy, and thought to himself: "He can learn my Tai Chi, Tai Chi The sword is just a good foundation of internal skills and strong comprehension. Although it is difficult, it is not so precious. But he can control the big demons such as Mingjiao and Tianyingjiao, and lead them on the right path. That is a great event Hey, Cuishan has a queen, Cuishan has a queen!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stroking his beard and smiling.

Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, etc. waited for the four of them to have a quick meal, then said goodbye to Zhang Sanfeng and went down the mountain to inquire about Zhao Min's whereabouts.Yin Tian is waiting to be sent to the front of the mountain to say goodbye.Yang Buhui reluctantly followed his father, and sent Li Xu again.Yang Xiao said: "No regrets, you go back and take good care of Sixth Uncle Yin." Yang Buhui replied, "Yes." Looking at Zhang Wuji, his face blushed suddenly, and he said in a low voice, "Brother Wuji, how many do I have?" I want to tell you something." Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, and the three who couldn't say it laughed secretly: "The two of them are childhood sweethearts, so they must have a few words of their own to say." Immediately, they quickened their pace and walked away.

Yang Buhui said: "Brother Wuji, come here." He took his hand and sat down on a big rock by the side of the mountain. Zhang Wuji was puzzled: "I have been close to her since I was a child, and our friendship is extraordinary, but this time we reunited after a long absence, she has been ignoring me coldly. I don't know what to say at this moment?" Xiao Zhao's charming and lovely appearance appeared, followed by Zhou Zhiruo's beautiful face, Zhu'er's slender waist, and even Zhao Min's angry and slightly smiling expression. I saw that Yang Buhui blushed before he could speak, lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then said after a long time, "Brother Wuji, when my mother passed away, I entrusted you to take care of me, right?" Zhang Wuji said: "Yes. Ah." Yang Buhui said: "You sent me all the way from Huaibei to my father in the Western Regions. During this time, I was born and died, and after going through all kinds of hardships, you even sacrificed your own life to replace me several times. Great kindness Thank you, I only remember this kindness deeply in my heart, and I have never mentioned it to you." Zhang Wuji said: "Then what is there to mention? If I didn't accompany you to Bingyu, I wouldn't have such kindness myself. Fan Yuhe, I am afraid that he has already died of poison at this moment."

Yang Buhui said: "No, no! You are kind and kind, you can turn danger into good fortune. Brother Wuji, I have lost my mother since I was a child. Although my father is close, there are some things I dare not say to him. You are our Master, but in my heart, I still treat you like my own brother. That day on the top of the light, I saw you come back safe and sound. I was really happy beyond words, but I am too embarrassed to tell you in person. You don’t blame me, do you? " Zhang Wuji said: "No blame! Of course not." Yang Buhui said again: "I treated Xiao Zhao very fiercely and cruelly, maybe you didn't like it. But my mother died so badly, I have been very hard-hearted towards wicked people ever since. Seeing Xiao Zhao treated you well later, I don't hate her anymore. Brother Wuji, you like her too?" Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao is a bit weird, but I don't think she is a bad person."

At that time, the red sun was slanting to the west, and the autumn wind was blowing on the face, and the smoke was like feeling drunk.Zhang Wuji looked at a green hill half a mile away, and saw a few willow trees in the middle of the hill, the branches and leaves fluttering in the wind, light and graceful, because he turned his head, he saw Yang Buhui's face was full of tenderness, his eyes were full, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Wuji, Do you think my father and mother are sorry for Yin... Yin... Sixth Uncle?" Zhang Wuji said: "These things in the past don't need to be said." Yang Buhui said: "No, in the eyes of others, that is It happened a long time ago, and even I am almost ten years old. But Uncle Yin has never forgotten his mother. This time he was seriously injured and fell into a coma day and night. He kept calling me: "Xiaofu! Sister Xiaofu!" He said: "Sister Xiaofu! Don't leave me. My limbs are broken and I have become a useless person. Please, don't leave me, don't leave me alone." When she said this, tears filled her eyes, and she was very excited .

Zhang Wuji said: "That's the words of the sixth uncle in a daze, so it's not accurate." Yang Buhui said: "No! You don't understand, but I know. He woke up later, when he looked at me, his eyes and expression were exactly the same, he was still begging me not to leave him, he just didn't say it." Zhang Wuji sighed, knowing that although this sixth uncle is strong in martial arts, his temperament is extremely weak. When he was young, he often saw him cry because of small unhappiness. Ji Xiaofu's death hit him especially hard. Right now Even with his limbs broken, it's no wonder he was panicked and said: "I will try my best to get the Black Jade Ointment to heal the wounds of Third Senior Uncle and Sixth Uncle." Yang Buhui said: "Sixth Uncle Yin looks at me like this, the more I think about it, the more I feel that father and mother are sorry for him, and the more I think about him, the more pitiful he is. Brother Wuji, I have personally promised Yin... Sixth Uncle Yin, his limbs have recovered Whether it’s good or permanent disability, I’ll always be with him for the rest of my life, and I’ll never leave him.” Speaking of this, tears flowed down her face, but her face was full of joy, shy and joyful. Zhang Wuji was taken aback, he didn't expect that she would entrust Yin Liting for life, he was speechless for a moment, he just said: "You...you..." Yang Buhui said: "I have told him firmly, I will follow him for the rest of my life. If he cannot move for the rest of his life, I will stay by his bedside for the rest of his life, serve him food and drink, and tell him jokes to relieve his boredom." Zhang Wuji said: "But you..." Yang Buhui hurriedly said: "I didn't agree to him suddenly, I have thought about it for a long time along the way. Not only can he not leave me, I can't leave him either. , if he dies from his injuries, I will not survive. When I was with him, he looked at me so blankly, I was more than happy. Brother Wuji, when I was young, I told you everything, I want to eat I’ll tell you about a biscuit; I’ll tell you about the fun of seeing a sugar figurine on the road. Back then we had no money and couldn’t afford it, so you stole it in the middle of the night and gave it to me, do you remember?” Zhang Wuji thought That day when we went west hand in hand with her, the two children depended on each other for life, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said in a low voice: "I remember." Yang Buhui pressed the back of his hand and said, "You gave me that candy figurine, and I was reluctant to eat it, but when I walked with it in my hand, the sun basked in it, and the candy figurine melted, I felt so sad, You kept crying. You said to find me another sugar figurine, but I never found another sugar figurine like that. You bought me a bigger and better sugar figurine later on, but I didn’t want it anymore. I cried a lot again. You were very angry then, calling me disobedient, weren't you?" Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Did I scold you? I don't remember. But I still treat you well in my heart." Yang Buhui said: "I know. I have a very stubborn temper. Uncle Yin Liu is the first sugar man I like, and I don't like the second one anymore. Brother Wuji, sometimes I think about it by myself. I am so good, I have saved my life several times, I... I should serve you for the rest of my life. But I always treat you as my own brother, I kiss and respect you from the bottom of my heart, but to him, I just say no Out of pity, indescribable love. He is more than twice as old as I am, and he is my elder. Most people will laugh at me, and his father is his deadly enemy. I... I know it won't work... But no matter what , I always told you." When she said this, she didn't dare to look at Zhang Wuji again, stood up, and ran away. Zhang Wuji watched her disappear by the side of the mountain, feeling melancholy in his heart, if he lost something, he didn't know what it was like, so he stood quietly for a long time, before he caught up with Wei Yixiao and the other three.Seeing that there were tears in his eyes, Wei Yixiao couldn't help smiling at Yang Xiao, meaning to say: "Congratulations, soon Yang Zuoshi will be the leader's father-in-law." The four of them descended to Wudang Mountain.Yang Xiao said: "Miss Zhao has her back and front guards, she won't walk alone, so it's not difficult to find out her whereabouts. Let's search from four directions, east, west, north, south, and we will meet in Gucheng at noon tomorrow. What's the teacher's respect?" Zhang Wuji said "Very good, that's it. Let me check the west road." Gucheng is in the east of Wudang Mountain. He searched west, which was a little farther than others. If you encounter someone, you can avoid it if you can, and you don't have to fight alone." The three agreed, saluted and said goodbye immediately, and went to the southeast, north, and three directions to investigate.
There are mountain roads to the west, Zhang Wuji started his lightness kung fu and walked quickly, and in just over an hour, he arrived at Shiyan Town.I ordered a bowl of noodles at a shop in the town, and asked the shop partner if there was a yellow satin sedan passing by.The shop assistant said: "Yes! There are three other seriously ill people, sleeping in soft bags and carrying them, heading west towards Huanglong Town. It's been less than an hour since they left." Zhang Wuji was overjoyed, thinking that these people were not walking fast. , It is not too late to wait until dark to catch up, so as not to reveal your own travel and possession.Walk to a secluded place, take a nap, and only come to Huanglong Town at the beginning of the watch. When he arrived in the town, before the end of the second drum day, he dodged behind the corner, and saw that the street was quiet and there was no one, but a big hotel was brightly lit.He jumped onto the roof, and after a few ups and downs, he reached the roof of a hut next to the inn. Looking ahead, he saw a felt tent erected on the open space by the river outside Zhendian. I thought: "Could Miss Zhao live in this yurt? She looks and speaks like a Han, and acts arrogantly and extravagantly, but she has a bit of a Mongolian style." It is not surprising that wealthy gentry and rich merchants often live in tents and take pride in learning Mongolian customs. He was thinking about how to approach the tent, when he heard groans coming from a window of the inn.With a thought in his mind, he slid down gently, walked to the window, and opened into the room. There were three people lying on three beds in the room, the other two couldn't see their faces, the person facing the window was that Ah San, he was moaning softly, his wounds were in great pain, his arms and legs were wrapped in white cloth.Zhang Wuji suddenly remembered: "His limbs were shattered by me, and I will definitely use his own elixir black jade ointment to treat it. If you don't grab it now, when will you wait?" Opening the window, he walked in, and the person standing in the room One person exclaimed and punched him.Zhang Wuji grabbed his fist with his left hand, stretched out his right hand and pointed at his Ruanma acupoint, when he looked back, he saw that the other two lying down were the bald A'er and the eight-armed sword Fang Dongbai. In a green cloth robe, he held two gold needles in his hand, presumably he was giving acupuncture to relieve pain for the three of them.There was a black bottle on the table, and beside the bottle were a few pieces of moxa. Zhang Wuji picked up the black bottle, uncorked the bottle and smelled it, he felt a spicy smell, very pungent.Ah San shouted: "Come here, grab the medicine..." Zhang Wuji moved his fingers like the wind, and tapped the dumb acupoints of the three lying down, and tore off the bandage on Ah San's arm, only to see that his arm was completely black, thinly Apply a layer of plaster.He was afraid that Zhao Min would be scheming and deliberately put fake medicine in the black bottle to deceive himself, so he scraped off the ointment on the wounds of Ah San and bald Ah Er and wrapped it in a bandage, thinking that even if the bottle contained fake medicine, he would never The determination they scrape from their wounds is true.The guard outside heard the sound, kicked open the door and rushed in.Zhang Wuji didn't even look at them from the corner of his eyes, he raised his leg and kicked them out one by one, instantly the inn was full of voices and chaos.Zhang Wuji kicked out six people one after another, and had already scraped off most of the ointment on the wounds of Ah San and the bald Ah Er, thinking that if there was any further delay, it would be very bad if the elders Xuan Ming arrived, so he took the black bottle and the scraped-off ointment Putting the ointment in his arms, he threw the doctor out of the window. There was only a bang, and the doctor was hit hard by the palm and fell to the ground. As expected, there was an ambush attack by an expert outside the window.Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Wuji flew out, white light flickered in the darkness, and two sharp knives rushed toward him.He held with his left hand and led with his right, trying out the Great Teleportation of the Universe, stabbing the man on the right with a sword on the left, and stabbing the man on the left with a gun from the right. Amidst the chaos, he had already gone far. I was very happy along the way, thinking that although I couldn't find out the truth about Zhao Min during this trip, but I won the Black Jade Ointment, which is better than anything else.At this time, I couldn't wait to go to Gucheng to meet Yang Xiao and the others, so I went back to Wudang and ordered Hongshuiqi to send people to Gucheng to inform Yang Xiao and others to go back to the mountain.Zhang Sanfeng and others were all overjoyed when they heard that they had won the Black Jade Ointment. Zhang Wuji carefully looked at the ointment scraped from Ah San's wound, and then picked some ointments from the black bottle to compare in detail, they were indeed the same.The black bottle was carved from a large piece of jade, as deep as lacquer, warm to the touch, full of antiquity, this bottle alone is an extremely precious treasure.There was no doubt at the moment, so he ordered people to carry Yin Liting to Yu Daiyan's room, and put the two beds side by side. Yang Buhui followed in.She didn't dare to meet Zhang Wuji's eyes, her face was radiant, and her heart was filled with gratitude. Obviously Zhang Wuji sent her to the Western Regions and drank the poisonous wine for her at He Taichong's house, which was not as important as curing Yin Liting. Zhang Wuji said: "Uncle Third, your old wounds have healed up. For the treatment at this moment, my nephew must break the bones of your hands and feet again, and then connect them again. Please endure the pain for a while." Yu Daiyan really doesn't believe that he can recover from his twenty-year disability, but he thinks the worst is that the treatment is ineffective. In the past twenty years, he doesn't care about anything. He must be restless for the rest of his life. What is my temporary pain?" He didn't say much, just smiled slightly, and said, "Just go ahead and do it." Zhang Wuji ordered Yang Buhui to leave the room, took off Yu Daiyan's clothes, felt all the places where his bones were broken, and then touched his Sleeping Point, with ten fingers moving energy, there was a constant rattling sound, and his broken bones were healed Break off one by one again.Although Yu Daiyan was acupointed, he still woke up from the pain.Zhang Wuji's technique was like the wind. As soon as the big and small bones were broken, he immediately put them on the exact spot, applied Qiheiyu intermittent ointment, wrapped a bandage, clamped the wooden board, and then applied golden needles to relieve the pain. It is much easier to treat Yin Liting, the broken bone has already been straightened in the Western Regions, and now only need to apply Black Jade Ointment.After Yin Liting was ruled, Zhang Wuji sent envoys of the Five Elements Banner to take turns to guard against the enemy coming to disturb them. In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Wuji had lunch and was taking a nap in the cloud room. Due to Su's exhaustion from traveling all night, he suddenly heard soft footsteps approaching the door in his sleep, and he woke up immediately.Xiao Zhao stood outside the door, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? The leader is asleep." Yan Yuan, the envoy of the Houtu Banner, said softly, "The Six Heroes of Yin have fainted three times from the pain, I don't know the leader..." Zhang Wuji didn't wait for him to finish speaking, turned over and ran out, and quickly came to Yu Daiyan's room, only to see Yin Liting's eyes rolled white, and he had passed out.Yang Buhui was so anxious that his face was full of tears, he didn't know what to do.Over there, Yu Daiyan gritted his teeth, showing that he was enduring the pain. He had a strong temper and refused to groan. Seeing this scene, Zhang Wuji was amazed, he massaged Yin Liting's Chengqi, Taiyang and Tanzhong acupoints a few times to wake him up, and asked Yu Daiyan, "Third Master, is it the severe pain at the broken bone?" Yu Daiyan said: "It hurts at the broken bone, that's fine, I just feel itchy everywhere in the internal organs... It seems that there are thousands of bugs crawling around." Zhang Wuji's shock was no small matter, according to what Yu Daiyan said , who was clearly poisoned, hurriedly asked Yin Liting, "Sixth Uncle, what do you think?" Yin Liting said in a daze, "Red, purple, blue, green, yellow, white, blue It's so bright, so many little balls are flying, turning around...it's so beautiful...look, look..." Zhang Wuji yelled "Ah yo" and almost passed out on the spot. All he could think of was a passage from Wang Nangu's "Poison Classic": The poisoned person first feels itching in the internal organs, like seven insects biting, and then colorful colors appear in front of the eyes, which change wonderfully, like seven flowers flying away. The seven insects and seven flowers used in the seven insects and seven flowers paste vary from person to person. There are differences between the north and the south, but for those who are the most efficacious, there are a total of forty-nine combinations, and sixty-three different recipes. The poisoner needs to understand himself." Sweat dripped down Zhang Wuji's forehead, he knew that he had finally been tricked by Zhao Min, what she contained in the black jade bottle was definitely the seven insects and seven flowers ointment, but what she applied on Ah San and bald Ah Er was actually the same This highly poisonous drug did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of two masters in order to attract his own people, such a vicious heart, it is really inconceivable. With great remorse and hatred, he immediately acted like the wind, removed the splint bandages on the two people, and washed the poisonous ointment on the two limbs with shochu.Seeing his solemn expression, Yang Buhui knew that something was wrong, so he no longer cared about his suspicions, and helped wash Yin Liting's limbs with wine.But seeing the black penetrate into the skin, it can't be washed off, just like the color dyed by a dyer and painter, which can't be removed overnight. Zhang Wuji didn't dare to use medicine indiscriminately, so he just took some pain-soothing pills for the two of them, and walked to the outer room, terrified, ashamed, exhausted, his knees went limp, and he fell down suddenly, lying on the ground Namely cry.Xiao Zhao leaned over to comfort him, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief. Yang Buhui was shocked, and only called out: "Brother Wuji, Brother Wuji!" Zhang Wuji whimpered, "I'm the one who killed my third uncle and sixth uncle." He only thought in his heart: "This seven insect and seven flower ointment has at least one hundred There are many preparation methods, who knows which seven kinds of poisonous insects and which seven kinds of poisonous flowers she used? To detoxify this kind of severe poison, it is all about fighting poison with poison. I lost the lives of my third uncle and sixth uncle." Suddenly, he clearly understood his father's mood when he committed suicide, a big mistake had already been made, and there was really no other way but to kill himself to thank him. He stood up slowly, Yang Buhui asked: "Is there really no cure? Is it impossible to even try?" Zhang Wuji shook his head.Yang Buhui replied: "Oh!" His expression was calm, not panicked. Zhang Wuji's heart moved, and he remembered what she said: "If he is dead, I can't live." He thought: "Then I killed not only two people, but three." At a loss in his heart, Wu Jincao came to the door and said: "Master, that Miss Zhao is looking outside to see you." When Zhang Wuji heard this, he could not contain his grief and indignation, and shouted: "I am looking for her!" He borrowed a long sword from Yang Buhui, held it in his hand, and strode out. Xiao Zhao took off the bead flower from her temples, handed it to Zhang Wuji, and said, "Master, you go and return it to Miss Zhao." Zhang Wuji glanced at her, thinking, "You know what I mean. I and this surname Miss Zhao's hatred is as deep as the sea, and we can't leave her anything." Praise: "Good girl!" With a sword in one hand and a flower in the other, she walked out of the gate. I saw Zhao Min standing there alone, with a smile on his face. At that time, the setting sun was like blood, slanting his cheeks, and it was gorgeous.Standing more than ten feet behind her was the elder Xuanming.The two were leading the three horses, but their eyes were looking away. Zhang Wuji's figure flashed, and he bullied Zhao Min. He stretched out his left hand, grabbed her wrist, and pressed the tip of the long sword in his right hand against her chest, and shouted, "Get the antidote quickly!" Zhao Min smiled and said, "You threatened me!" After passing me once, do you want to coerce me again this time? I came to see you, is it the way to treat guests like this? " Zhang Wuji said: "I want the antidote! If you don't give it, I... I don't want to live anymore, so you don't have to." Zhao Min blushed slightly, and spit softly: "Bah! Is it stinky? You die Yours, what does it matter to me, you want me to die with you?" Zhang Wuji said sternly, "Who is joking with you? If you don't give the antidote, today is the day you and I die at the same time." Zhao Min held his right hand tightly, he felt his whole body trembling, extremely excited, and felt something hard in his palm, asked: "What are you holding in your hand?" Zhang Wuji said: "Your Zhuhua, return it to you!" With a lift of his left hand, he inserted Zhuhua on her temple, and then he lowered his hand to grab her wrist, and the two movements were like lightning.Zhao Min said: "I gave it to you, why don't you want it?" Zhang Wuji said bitterly: "You have played tricks on me! I don't want your things." Zhao Min said: "You don't want my things? Is it true? Fake? Why did you ask me for an antidote as soon as you opened your mouth?" Every time Zhang Wuji quarreled with her, he was always at a disadvantage, he was at a loss for words, thinking of Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting's passing away soon, his heart ached, his eyes turned red, and he was about to shed tears, he couldn't help but want to plead, but thinking of Zhao Min's viciousness, but refused to show weakness in front of her. At this time, Yang Xiao and the others had already heard the news, rushed out of the gate, and saw that Zhao Min had been captured by Zhang Wuji, but the two elders, Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming, were standing in the distance, seemingly indifferent and confident.Everyone stood aside, watching the changes quietly. Zhao Min smiled and said: "You are the leader of Mingjiao, and your martial arts shocked the world. When you encountered a little problem, you cried like a child. You have cried just now, haven't you? It's not harmful. Let me tell you , you have been hit by two palms of my elder Xuanming's Xuanming Divine Palm. I came to see how you are hurt. Unexpectedly, when you see him, you are entangled with life and death. Do you want to let go? " Zhang Wuji thought to himself, if she wanted to take the opportunity to escape, she would absolutely not be able to, as long as she moved her footsteps, he could immediately grab her and let go of her wrist. Zhao Min stretched out his hand to touch the bead flowers on his temples, smiled sweetly, and said, "You don't seem to have been injured at all." Zhang Wuji said coldly, "A mere Xuanming palm may not be able to hurt anyone." Zhao Min said: "Then what about the Dali Vajra Finger? What about the Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Paste?" These two words were like two big hammers, hammering heavily on Zhang Wuji's chest.He said bitterly: "It really is the seven insects and seven flowers ointment." Zhao Min said seriously: "Master Zhang, if you want Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, I can give it to you. If you want the antidote for Qi Chong Qi Hua Ointment, I can also give it to you. But you have to promise me to do three things, Then I will offer it willingly. If you use force to threaten, then it will be easy for you to kill me, but it will be even more difficult to get the antidote. If you torture me indiscriminately, all I will give you is fake medicine and poison .” Zhang Wuji was overjoyed, his eyes were full of tears, he couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly said: "Which three things? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!" Zhao Min smiled and said: "Crying and laughing, I'm not afraid of being ugly! I told you earlier, I can't remember it for a while, when I thought of it, I will tell you at any time, as long as you promise, you will never break the contract." , then it will be done. I will not ask you to catch the moon in the sky, I will not ask you to do evil things that violate the way of chivalry, let alone ask you to die, and naturally I will not ask you to be a pig or a dog .” Zhang Wuji thought: "As long as you don't betray the way of chivalry, then no matter how big the problem is, I will do my best." He said with emotion: "Miss Zhao, if you are willing to give me the elixir, I will be cured of Yu Sanbo and Yin Liushu, but I will ask you Zhang Wuji never dared to resign if he had an order. He will go through fire and water, but only the king will make him do it." Zhao Min stretched out his palms and said: "Okay, let's make an oath by high-fiving. I will give you the antidote and heal the wounds of your third uncle and sixth uncle. In the future, I beg you to do three things, as long as you don't violate chivalry." You must do your best and never refuse." Zhang Wuji said, "Be as respectful as you say." He lightly struck her palms three times. Zhao Min took off the bead flower from the sideburns, and said: "Now are you willing to take my things?" Zhang Wuji was afraid that she would not give the antidote, so he didn't dare to go against his will, so he took the bead flower.Zhao Min said coyly: "I won't allow you to give it to that pretty girl again." Zhang Wuji said: "Yes!" Zhao Min smiled and stepped back three steps, said: "The antidote will be delivered immediately, Hierarch Zhang invites you!" She flicked her long sleeves, turned around and left.The two elders Xuanming led the horse and waited for her to get on the horse and go first.Three rides down the mountain with the sound of horseshoes. Zhao Min and the other three had just turned around the hillside when a man flashed out from behind the big tree on the left. It was Qian Erbai, one of the Eight Heroes of the God of Arrows. , a letter, please read it." With a whoosh, he set his string and fired an arrow, but the arrow was not in a hurry. Zhang Wuji took the arrow in his hand, he saw that the incoming arrow had no arrowhead, but a letter was tied on the shaft.When Zhang Wuji unwrapped it and read it, the envelope was written "From Zhang Jiaozhu." When he opened the letter, he found a few lines of small letters with hairpin flowers written on a piece of plain paper: The middle layer of the gold box, Lingqing has been hidden for a long time.The bead flower is hollow and contains a prescription.The two things have long been around the gentlemen, so why worry so much?How can a lowly concubine look forward to entrusting her to a servant girl and throwing away all the dust with trivial things? Zhang Wuji read this piece of plain paper three times in a row, surprised and happy, and ashamed at the same time. He hurriedly looked at the pearl flower and tried to rotate it one by one. As a result, one of the pearls could be rotated, so he unscrewed the beads, and the golden cast flower dried. Hollow, hiding a roll of white matter.He took out the golden needles used for acupuncture from his bosom, and picked out the roll. It was a thin piece of paper, on which were written the seven kinds of poisonous insects that the seven insects were, the seven kinds of poisonous flowers that the seven flowers were, and what to do after being poisoned. Rescue, one by one book. In fact, he only needs to know the names of the seven insects and seven flowers, and how to detoxify, but he doesn't need others to point him out.He saw that the solution was correct, he knew that Zhao Min did not play a trick, he was overjoyed, he rushed into the inner courtyard and hurriedly dispensed medicine for treatment.Sure enough, in just over an hour, the poison of Yu and Yin was greatly relieved, the numbness and itching in the body gradually stopped, and the colorful halo disappeared. He went to take out the gold box that Zhao Minsheng Zhuhua gave him, inspected it carefully, and found the interlayer, which was full of black ointment, but the smell was fragrant and cool.This time he didn't dare to be reckless again, so he found a dog, broke one of its hind legs, and applied some ointment to the wound. The next morning, the dog was in good spirits, and there was no sign of poisoning, and the wound was even bigger See better. After three days, the toxin in Yu and Yin's bodies was gone, so Zhang Wuji applied the real black jade ointment on their limbs again. This time there were no surprises.The Black Jade Intermittent Ointment really worked like a god, after more than two months, Yin Liting was able to move his hands, it seems that not only will his hands and feet be able to move freely in the future, but also his martial arts will not be greatly damaged.Yu Daiyan has been handicapped for a long time, it is impossible to look back on the past, but seeing how he has recovered from his injuries, after half a year, he will be able to support two crutches under his armpit, use the sticks instead of feet, and walk slowly, even though he is still disabled , but is no longer a useless person who can't move at all.
After Zhang Wuji's delay on Wudang Mountain, the Five Elements Banners sent back to the mountain one after another, and the news they brought back was very surprising.None of the people from the Emei, Huashan, Kongtong, and Kunlun sects who went to Guangmingding went back to their sect. There was an uproar in the rivers and lakes, saying that the demon sect was powerful, and they gathered all the masters from the six major factions who went to the Western Regions, Then attack each faction separately.The sudden disappearance of monks in Shaolin Temple has already caused an uproar in the martial arts world.The deputy envoys in charge of the flags of the Five Elements Banner went here, fortunately they all had the Wudang sect letter talisman given by Zhang Sanfeng, and they didn't reveal their identities, otherwise they would have already fought with each faction.The deputy envoys in charge of the flags said that at this moment, all sects, gangs, escorts, cottages, boat gangs, docks, etc. in the rivers and lakes are all on strict alert, for fear of a large-scale attack by Mingjiao. A few days later, Yin Tianzheng, Yin Yewang and his son also returned to Wudang, and reported that the Tianying Sect had been reorganized and all belonged to the Ming Sect.It is also said that all the heroes in the southeast rose together, and the anti-Yuan righteous teachers came and fell one after another, among which Han Shantong, Zhang Shicheng, and Fang Guozhen were the most prosperous.At that time, the military strength of the Yuan army was still strong, but once the rebels fought independently, there was no communication with each other, and they were all wiped out immediately. In the evening of that day, Zhang Sanfeng arranged a vegetarian banquet in the back hall to welcome Yin Tianzheng and his son.During the banquet, Yin Tianzheng talked about the reasons for the failure of the uprisings in various places, and in every uprising, the disciples of Mingjiao and Tianyingjiao participated, and they were all captured or killed by Yuan soldiers, and there were many martyrs.When Qunhao heard this, they all sighed with regret. Yang Xiao said: "The suffering of the people in the world is deep, and people's minds have changed. This is a good opportunity to drive out the Tartars and return our land. In the past, the leader of Yangjiao was alive, and he was thinking about revival day and night. It's just that our religion has always been extreme. All factions in the martial arts are entangled with each other, and it is difficult to fight against the enemy together. Fortunately, the leader Zhang is in charge of the teaching affairs, and the grievances with the various factions are gradually resolved. We just work together to fight against the Hulu." Zhou Dian said: "Yang Zuoshi, what do you say? It sounds good. Unfortunately, it's all nonsense, almost like fart." Yang Xiao was not angry when he heard this, and said, "I still need to ask Brother Zhou for advice." Zhou Dian said: "It is said in the Jianghu that our Mingjiao has killed all the masters of the six major sects. When they hear the word 'Mingjiao', everyone hates it." To the bone, what is meant by 'working together to fight against the barbarians', sounds good to say, but how do we do it?" Yang Xiao said: "Although we have received such a bad name, the truth will always be revealed, not to mention Master Zhang can prove it. "Zhou Dian laughed and said: "If it is true that we killed Song Yuanqiao, Huojue old nun, and He Taichong, Master Zhang was kept in the dark, how can we do it accurately?" Taoist Tieguan shouted: "Zhou Dian, in Zhang Don't talk nonsense before the Daoist and the leader." Zhou Dian stuck out his tongue and fell silent. Peng Yingyu said: "Brother Zhou's words are not completely unreasonable. According to the poor monk, we should be the leaders of the Great Ming Sect, and announce the intentions of Master Zhang and the various schools of martial arts. At the same time, there are many people with wide eyes. , Where did Miejue Shitai and the others go? There can also be an investigation in the meeting." Zhou Dian said: "It is very easy to find out the whereabouts of Song Daxia and the others." Everyone said in unison: "How about it? ? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Satisfied, Zhou Dian drank a glass of wine and said, "You only need to ask Ms. Zhao, and you will understand 90% if you don't say anything. Let me tell you, these people were either killed by Ms. Zhao or captured by her." .” For more than two months, Wei Yixiao, Yang Xiao, Peng Yingyu, Shubu and others went down the mountain separately to inquire about Zhao Min's origin and whereabouts, but since that day he appeared in front of the temple and made a high-five with Zhang Wuji, this person has disappeared. , even all of her subordinates disappeared without a trace.Qunhao guessed a lot, all guessing that she must have something to do with the imperial court, but other than that, they couldn't find any clues.Hearing what Zhou Dian said at this time, everyone said: "You are talking nonsense! If we can find that woman surnamed Zhao, won't we ask her about it?" Zhou Dian said with a smile: "Of course you can't find it. The leader doesn't need to look for it, he will see you. The leader still owes her three things. Could it be that this is such a powerful young lady? Hey, hey! This girl Jiaojiao Didi, beautiful and beautiful, but when I think of her, my hair stands on end, and I tremble with fear." Everyone laughed when they heard it, but it was true when they thought about it. 张无忌叹道：“我只盼她快些出三个难题，我尽力办了，就此了结此事，否则终日挂在心上，不知她会出什么古怪花样。”周颠笑道：“最好她说要嫁咱们教主，教主就允了，此后闺房之中，她要教主干什么，教主就千什么，别说三件事，三百件也不怕！”众人又都哈哈大笑。 张无忌脸上一红，忙岔开话头，说道：“彭大师适才创议，本教召集各路首领一会，此事倒是可行，各位意下如何？”群豪均道：“甚是。在武当山上空等，终究不是办法。”杨逍道：“教主，你说在何处聚会最好？” 张无忌略一沉吟，说道：“本人今日忝代教主，常自想起本教两位人物的恩情。一位是常遇春大哥，另一位是蝶谷医仙胡青牛先生，他老人家已死于金花婆婆之手。我想，本教这次大会，便在淮北蝴蝶谷中举行。” 周颠拍手道：“甚好，甚好！这个'见死不救'，昔年我每日里跟他斗口，人倒也不算坏，只是有些阴阳怪气，与杨左使有异曲同工之妙。他见死不救，自己死时也没人救他，正是报应。我周颠倒要去他墓前磕上几个响头。” 当下群豪各无异议，言明三个月后的八月中秋，明教各路首领齐集淮北蝴蝶谷聚会。 次曰清晨，五行旗和天鹰旗下各掌职信使，分头自武当山出发，传下教主号令：诸路教众，凡香主以上，概于八月中秋前赶赴淮北蝴蝶谷，参见新教主，共商大事，其副手则留于当地，主理教务。
其时距中秋日子尚远，张无忌见俞岱岩和殷梨亭尚未痊可，深恐伤势反复，以致功亏一篑，便暂留武当山照料俞殷二人，暇时则向张三丰请教太极拳剑的武学。韦一笑、彭莹玉、说不得诸人，则各处游行，探听赵敏一干人的下落。 杨逍奉教主之命留在武当，但为纪晓芙之事，对殷梨亭深感惭愧，平日闭门读书，轻易不离室门一步。如此过了两月有余，这日午后，张无忌来到杨逍房中，商量来日蝴蝶谷大会，有哪几件大事要向教众交代。他以年轻识浅，忽当重任，常自有战战兢兢之意，唯惧不克负荷，误了大事，杨逍深通教务，因此张无忌要他留在身边，随时咨询。 两人谈了一会，张无忌顺手取过杨逍案头的书来，见封面写着“明教流传中土记”七个字的题签，下面注着“弟子光明左使杨逍恭撰”一行小字。张无忌道：“杨左使，你文武全才，真乃本教的栋梁。”杨逍谢道：“多谢教主嘉奖。” 张无忌翻开书来，但见小楷恭录，事事旁征博引。书中载得明白，明教源出波斯，本名摩尼教，于唐武后延载元年传入中土，其时波斯人拂多诞持明教《三宗经》来朝，中国人始习此教经典。唐大历三年六月二十九口，长安洛阳建明教寺院“大云光明寺”。此后太原、荆州、扬州、洪州、越州等重镇，均建有大云光明寺。至会昌三年，朝廷下令诛杀明教教徒。自此之后，明教便成为犯禁的秘密教会，历朝均受官府摧残。明教为图生存，行事不免诡秘，终于摩尼教这个“摩”字，为人改作“魔”字，世人遂称之为魔教。 张无忌读到此处，不禁长叹，说道：“杨左使，本教教旨乃去恶行善，原和释道并无大异，何以自唐代以来，历朝均受惨酷屠戮？”杨逍道：“释家虽说普渡众生，但僧众出家，各持清修，不理世务。道家亦然。本教则聚集乡民，不论是谁有甚危难困苦，诸教众一齐出力相助。官府欺压良民，什么时候能少了？什么地方能少了？遇到有人遭官府冤屈欺压，本教势必和官府相抗。到后来动刀动枪，也没法了。”张无忌点了点头，说道：“只有朝廷官府不去欺压良民，土豪恶霸不敢横行不法，到那时候，本教方能真正兴旺。”杨逍拍案而起，大声道：“教主之言，正说出了本教教旨的关键所在。”张无忌道：“杨左使，你说当真能有这么一日么？” 杨逍沉吟道：“但盼真能有这么一天。宋朝本教方腊方教主起事，也不过是为了想叫官府不敢欺压良民。”他翻开那本书来，指到明教教主方腊在浙东起事、震动天下的记载。张无忌看得悠然神往，掩卷道：“大丈夫固当如是。虽然方教主殉难身死，却终是轰轰烈烈地干了一番事业。”两人心意相通，都不禁血热如沸。 杨逍又道：“本教历代均遭严禁，但始终屹立不倒。南宋绍兴四年，有个官员叫做王居正，对皇帝上了一道奏章，说到本教之事，教主可以一观。”说着翻到书中一处，抄录着王居正那道奏章。 张无忌看那奏章中写道：“伏见两浙州县有吃菜事魔之俗。方腊以前，法禁尚宽，而事魔之俗犹未至于甚炽。方腊之后，法禁愈严，而事魔愈不可胜禁。……臣闻事魔者，每乡每村有一二桀黠，谓之魔头，尽录其乡村姓氏名字，相与诅盟为魔之党。凡事魔者不肉食，而一家有事，同党之人皆出力以相赈恤。盖不肉食则费省，费省故易足。同党则相亲，相亲则相恤而事易济……”张无忌读到这里，说道：“那王居正虽仇视本教，却也知本教教众节俭朴实，相亲相爱。”接下去又看奏章：“……臣以为此先王导其民使相亲相友相助之意。而甘淡薄，教节俭，有古淳朴之风。今民之师帅，既不能以是为政，乃为魔头者窃取以瞽惑其党，使皆归德于其魔，于是从而附益之以邪僻害教之说。民愚无知，谓吾从魔之言，事魔之道，而食易足、事易济也，故以魔头之说为皆可信，而争趋归之。此所以法禁愈严，而愈不可胜禁。” 他读到这里，转头向杨逍道：“杨左使，'法禁愈严，而愈不可胜禁'这句话，正是本教深得民心的明证。这部书可否借我一阅，也好让我多知本教往圣先贤的业绩遗训。”杨逍道：“正要请教主指教。”（按：以上所述明教事迹均为史实，详见吴晗《明教与大明帝国》一文） 张无忌将书收起，说道：“俞三伯和殷六叔伤势大好了，我们明日便首途蝴蝶谷去。我另有一事要和杨左使相商，是关于不悔妹子的。” 杨逍只道他要开口求婚，心下甚喜，说道：“不悔的性命全出教主所赐，属下父女感恩图报，非只一日。教主但有所命，无不乐从。” 张无忌于是将杨不悔那日如何向自己吐露心事的情由，一一说了。杨逍一听之下，错愕万分，怔怔地说不出话来，隔了半晌，才道：“小女蒙殷六侠垂青，原是杨门之幸。只是他二人年纪悬殊，辈分又异，这个……这个……”说了两次“这个”，却接不下去了。 张无忌道：“殷六叔也不过四十岁，方当壮盛。不悔妹子叫他一声叔叔，也不是真有什么血缘之亲，师门之谊。他二人情投意合，倘若成了这头姻缘，上代的仇嫌尽数化解，正是大大的美事。” 杨逍原本生性豁达，又为纪晓芙之事，每次见到殷梨亭总抱愧于心，暗想不悔既倾心于他，结成了姻亲，便赎了自己前愆，从此明教和武当派再也不存芥蒂，于是长揖说道：“教主玉成此事，足见关怀。属下先此谢过。” 当晚张无忌传出喜讯，群豪纷纷向殷梨亭道喜。杨不悔害羞，躲在房中不肯出来。 张三丰和俞岱岩得知此事，起初也颇惊奇，但随即便为殷梨亭欢喜。说到婚期，殷梨亭道：“待大师哥他们回山，众兄弟完聚，那时再办喜事不迟。” 次日张无忌偕同杨逍、殷天正、殷野王、铁冠道人、周颠、小昭等人，辞别张三丰师徒，首途前往淮北。杨不悔留在武当山服侍殷梨亭。当时男女之防虽严，但武林中人，也不理会这些小节。
明教一行人晓行夜宿，向东方行去，一路上但见田地荒芜，民有饥色。江淮沿海本为殷实富庶之区，眼前却饿殍遍野，生民之困，已到极处。群豪慨叹百姓惨遭劫难。却又知蒙古人如此暴虐，霸居中土之期必不久长，正是天下英雄揭竿起事的良机。 这一日来到界牌集，离蝴蝶谷已然不远，正行之间，忽听得前面喊杀之声大震，两支人马正在交兵。群豪纵马上前，穿过一座森林，只见千余名蒙古兵分列左右，正在进攻一座山寨。寨上飘出一面绘着红色火焰的大旗，正是明教的旗帜。寨中人数不多，似有不支之势，但兀自健斗不屈。蒙古兵矢发如雨，大叫：“魔教的叛贼，快快投降！” 周颠道：“教主，咱们上吗？”张无忌道：“好！先去杀了带兵的军官。”杨逍、殷天正、殷野王、铁冠道人、周颠五人应命而出，冲入敌阵，长剑挥动，两名元兵的百夫长首先落马，跟着统兵的千夫长也给殷野王砍死。元兵群龙无首，登时大乱。 山寨中人见来了外援，大声欢呼。寨门开处，一条黑衣大汉手挺长矛，当先冲出，元兵当者辟易，无人敢撄其锋。只见那大汉长矛闪处，便有一名元军遭刺，倒撞下马。众元兵惊呼连连，四下奔逃。 杨逍等见这大汉威风凛凛，有若天神，无不赞叹：“好一位英雄将军。”此时张无忌早已看清楚那大汉的面貌，正是常自想念的常遇春大哥，只是剧斗方酣，不即上前相见。明教人众前后夹攻，元军死伤了五六百人，余下的不敢恋战，分头落荒而走。 常遇春横矛大笑，叫道：“是哪一路的兄弟前来相助？常某感激不尽。” 张无忌叫道：“常大哥，想煞小弟也。”纵身而前，紧紧握住了他手。 常遇春躬身下拜，说道：“教主兄弟，我既是你大哥，又是你属下，真高兴得不知如何才好。”两人久别重逢，洒泪相见。 原来常遇春一支队伍，属五行旗中巨木旗该管，张无忌接任教主等情由，已得掌旗使闻苍松示知。这些日子来他率领本教兄弟，曰夜等候张无忌到来，不料元军却来攻打。常遇春见己寡敌众，本拟故意示弱，将元军诱入寨中，一鼓而歼，但张无忌等突然赶到应援，他便乘势开寨杀出。他在明教中职位不高，当下向杨逍、殷天正等一一参见。群豪以他是教主的结义兄弟，都不敢以长上自居，执手问好，相待尽礼。 常遇春邀请群豪入寨，杀牛宰羊，大摆酒筵，说起别来情由。这几年来淮南淮北水旱相继，百姓苦不堪言。常遇春无以为生，便啸聚本教兄弟，做那打家劫舍的绿林好汉勾当，山寨中粮食金银多了，便去赈济贫民。元军几次攻打，都奈何他不得。 众人在山寨中歇了一晚，次日和常遇春一齐北行，料得元军新败，两三月内决计不敢再行来攻。
数日后到了蝴蝶谷外。先到的教众得知教主驾到，列成长队，迎出谷来。其时巨木旗下执事人等，早已在蝴蝶谷中搭造了许多茅舍木屋，以供与会的各路教众居住。韦一笑、彭莹玉、说不得等均已先此到达，报称并未探查到那赵姑娘的讯息。 张无忌接见诸路教众后，备了祭品，分别到胡青牛夫妇及纪晓芙墓前致祭，想起当日离谷时何等凄惶狼狈，今日归来却云荼灿烂，风光无限，当真恍若隔世。 再过三日便是八月十五，蝴蝶谷中筑了高坛，坛前烧起熊熊大火。张无忌登坛宣示和中原诸门派尽释前愆、反元抗胡之意，又颁卩教规，重申行善去恶、除暴安良的教旨。教众一齐凛遵，各人身前点起香束，立誓对教主令旨，决不敢违。 是日坛前火光烛天，香播四野，明教之盛，远迈前代。年老的教众眼见这片兴旺气象，想起数十年来本教四分五裂、几致覆灭的情景，忍不住喜极而泣。 午后属下教众报道：“洪水旗旗下弟子朱元璋、徐达诸人求见。”张无忌大喜，亲自迎出门去。朱元璋、徐达率同汤和、邓愈、花云、吴良、吴祯诸人恭恭敬敬地站在门外，见到张无忌出来，一齐躬身行礼，说道：“参见教主！”张无忌时常念着那日徐达奋身相救之情，见到众人，喜之不尽，当即还礼，左手携着朱元璋，右手携着徐达，同进室内，命众人坐下。众人告了罪，才行就坐。 这时朱元璋已然还俗，不再作僧人打扮，说道：“属下等奉教主传令，赶来蝴蝶谷，本应早到候驾，但途中遇上了一件十分蹊跷之事，属下等跟踪追查，以致误了会期，还请教主恕罪。”张无忌问道：“却不知遇上了何事？” 朱元璋道：“六月上旬，我们便奉到教主令旨，大伙儿好生欢喜，兄弟们商议，该当备什么礼物庆贺掌教才是。淮北是苦地方，没什么好东西的，幸得会期尚远，大伙儿便一起上山东去闯闯。我们生怕给官府认了出来，因此扮作了赶脚的骡车夫，属下算是个车夫头儿。这天来到河南归德府，接了几个老西客人，要往山东荷泽。正行之间，忽然有伙人赶了上来，抡刀使枪，十分凶狠，将我们车中的客人都赶了下去，叫我们去接载别的客人。那时花兄弟便要跟他们放对，徐兄弟向他使个眼色，叫他瞧清楚情由，再动手不迟。那伙人将我们九辆大车赶到一处山坳之中，那里另外还有十多辆大车候着，只见地下坐着的都是和尚。”张无忌问道：“都是和尚？” 朱元璋道：“不错。那些和尚个个垂头丧气，萎靡不振，但其中好些人模样不凡，有的太阳穴高高凸起，有的身材魁梧。徐兄弟悄悄跟我说，这些和尚都是身负高强武功之人。那伙凶人叫众和尚坐在车里，由我们赶车，押着我们一路向北。属下料想其中必有古怪，暗地里叫众兄弟着意提防，千万不可露出形迹。一路上我们留神那伙凶人的说话，可是这群人诡秘得紧，在我们面前一句话也不说，后来吴良兄弟大着胆子，半夜里到他们窗下去偷听，连听了四五夜，这才探得了些端倪，原来这些和尚竟都是河南嵩山少林寺的。”张无忌本已料到了几分，但还是“啊”的一声。 朱元璋接着道：“吴良兄弟又听得其中一人说：'主人当真神机妙算，令人拜服。少林、武当六派高手，尽入掌中，自古以来，还有谁能做得到这一步？'另一人说：'这还不算稀奇。一箭双雕，却把魔教的众魔头也牵连在内。'我们七人假装出恭，在茅厕里悄悄商量，都说此事既牵连本教在内，碰巧落在我们手上，总须查个水落石出，也好禀报教主知晓。”张无忌道：“各位计较甚是。” 朱元璋道：“大伙儿一路北行，越发装得呆头呆脑，汤和兄弟和邓愈兄弟又假装争五钱银子，笨手笨脚地打了一场架，显得半点不会武功。那伙凶人拍手呵呵大笑，对我们再不在意，我们又老爷长、老爷短地对他们恭敬奉承，马屁拍到十足。吴祯兄弟曾想去弄些麻药来，半途上麻翻了这伙凶人，救出少林群僧。可是我们细想，这件事来龙去脉半点不知，眼看这伙凶人又甚精明干练，武功了得，没的一个失手，打草惊蛇，反误了大事，是以始终没敢下手。到得河间府，遇上了六辆大车，也都有人押解，车中坐的却是些俗家人。吃饭之时，我听得一个少林和尚跟一个新来的客人招呼，说道：'宋大侠，你也来啦！'” 张无忌站起身来，忙问：“他说是宋大侠？那人怎生模样？”朱元璋道：“那人微胖身材，五六十岁年纪，三络长须，相貌清雅。” 张无忌听得正是宋远桥的形相，又惊又喜，再问其余诸人的容貌身形，果然俞莲舟、张松溪、莫声谷三人也均在内，又问：“他们都受了伤吗？还是戴了铐镣？” 朱元璋道：“没铐镣，也瞧不出什么伤，说话饮食都跟常人无异，只精神不振，走起路来有点虚虚晃晃。那宋大侠听少林和尚这么说，只苦笑了一下，没答话。那少林和尚再想说什么，押解的凶人便过来拉开了他。此后两批人前后相隔十余里，再不同食同宿，属下从此也没再见到宋大侠他们。七月初三，我们载着少林和尚到了大都。” 张无忌道：“啊，到了大都，果然是朝廷下的毒手。后来怎样？”朱元璋道：“那伙凶人领着我们，将一群少林和尚送去西城一座大庙，叫我们也睡在庙里。”张无忌问道：“那是什么庙？”朱元璋道：“属下进寺之时，曾抬头瞧了瞧庙前的匾额，见是叫做'万安寺'，便因这么一瞧，吃了个凶人的一下马鞭。当晚我们兄弟们悄悄商量，这些凶人定然放不过我们，势必要舉人灭口，天一黑，我们便偷着走了。” 张无忌道：“事情确是凶险，幸好这批凶人倒也没追赶。” 汤和微笑道：“朱大哥也料到了这着，事先便安排下手脚。我们到邻近的骡马行中去抓了七个骡马贩子来，跟他们对换了衣服，然后将这七人砍死在庙中，脸上斩得血肉模糊，好让那些凶人认不出来。又将跟我们同来的大车车夫也都杀了，银子散得满地，装成是两伙人争银钱凶杀一般。待那伙凶人回庙，再也不会起疑。” 张无忌心中一惊，见徐达脸上有不忍之色，邓愈显得颇为尴尬，汤和说来得意洋洋，只朱元璋却丝毫不动声色，恍若没事人一般。张无忌暗想：“这人下手好狠，实是个厉害角色。”说道：“朱大哥此计虽妙，但从今而后，咱们决不可再行滥杀无辜。” 这是教主的训谕，朱元璋等一齐起立，躬身说道：“谨遵教主令旨。”后来朱元璋、徐达、邓愈、汤和等行军打仗，果然恪遵张无忌的令旨，不敢随便杀戮无辜，终于民心归顺，得成一代大业。 张无忌道：“朱大哥七位探听到少林、武当两派高手的下落，此功不小。待安排了抗元起义的大事之后，咱们便去大都相救两派高手。”他说过公事，再和徐达等相叙私谊，说起那日偷宰张员外耕牛之事，一齐拊掌大笑。 当晚张无忌大会教众，焚火烧香，宣告各地并起，共抗元朝，诸路教众务当相互呼应，要累得元军疲于奔命，那便大事可成。 是时定下方策，教主张无忌率同光明左使杨逍、青翼蝠王韦一笑执掌总坛，为全教总帅。白眉鹰王殷天正，率同天鹰旗下教众，在江南起事。布袋和尚说不得率领刘福通、杜遵道、罗文素、盛文郁、王显忠、韩皎儿等人，在河南颍川一带起事。彭莹玉和尚率领徐寿辉、部普旺、明五等，在江西赣、饶、袁、信诸州起事。说不得以前曾在汝宁、信阳州扶助棒胡，以明教为号召起义反元，彭莹玉曾在袁州扶助周子旺起义反元，均遭扑灭，两人奉命联络棒胡
