Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty-Six
In the afternoon of this day, three riders and one bike headed northward, and within a day they arrived at Dadu, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.At that time, as far as the Mongols rode, they reached tens of thousands of miles away, and no other great country has ever been able to match the vastness of its territory.Dadu is the future Beijing.The residence of the emperor, there are countless envoys, tributes, attendants, and merchants from various small countries and tribes, and those from far away came from the far west. At that time, they were always called Semu people.As soon as Zhang Wuji entered the city gate, he saw people coming and going on the street, many of them were yellow-haired and blue-eyed.
The four of them went to Dexi City and found an inn to stay.Yang Xiao spent a lot of money, pretending to be a wealthy businessman, and asked for three rooms.The waiter in the shop is running around to serve and serve attentively.Yang Xiao asked about the places of interest and historical sites in the metropolis, talked for a while, and casually asked about ancient temples and monasteries.
The first school of the shop's second school talked about the Wan'an Temple in Xicheng: "This Wan'an Temple is really a big jungle. There are three big bronze Buddhas in the temple. I have traveled all over the world, but I can't find the fourth one. I should go to see it." But the guest officials came at an unfortunate time. For the past six months, the Buddhist masters of Xifan lived in the temple, and ordinary people dare not go." Yang Xiao said, "It's not a problem to go and see the monks living here." Then The clerk stuck out his tongue, looked around, and said in a low voice: "It's not a small talker. Guest officials are new to the capital, so you have to be careful when you speak. Those Western Buddhas beat people when they saw them, and they killed them if they wanted to kill them." If you see a beautiful girl, you will be arrested and taken into the temple. This is the emperor's decree, Jinkou promised. Who would dare to slap a fly on the tiger's head and go to the Buddha of Xifan?" Yang Xiao and others have known about the power of the Mongols, who ran amok and oppressed the Han people for a long time, but they didn't expect it to be so unscrupulous in the capital, so they didn't say much about it to the waiter in the shop.
After dinner, they closed their eyes and rested their minds. At the second watch, Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao, and Wei Yixiao jumped out of the window and searched west.
The building of Wan'an Temple is four stories high, and a thirteen-level pagoda behind the temple can be seen farther away.The three started their lightness kung fu and arrived in front of the temple in a short while.The three of them walked around to the left side of the temple, intending to climb up the pagoda and observe the situation in the temple condescendingly. Unexpectedly, they were more than 20 feet away from the pagoda, and there were people on the pagoda. keep watch.
When the three of them saw it, they were both surprised and delighted, since the tower was so tightly guarded, there were so many people from Shaolin and Wudang that they imprisoned them there, which saved a lot of time for visiting.But the enemy is heavily guarded, and it must be extremely difficult to save lives.What's more, Kong Wen, Kong Zhi, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi, etc., all of them were not outstanding in martial arts, but they were all captured.Before the three of them came to Wan'an Temple, they had agreed not to act recklessly, so they quietly backed away.
Suddenly, a fire was lit on the pagoda on the sixth floor, and eight or nine people moved slowly with torches in their hands. The torches were lit from the sixth floor to the fifth floor, and then from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, all the way down to the bottom floor. After that, come out from the main gate of the pagoda and go to the temple.Zhang Wuji waved his hand, and the three slowly approached from the side.There are towering old trees in the backyard of Wan'an Temple, the three of them used the big trees as a cover, and when they heard the sound of the wind, they rushed forward for several feet.Although the three people's lightness kung fu is high, they are afraid of being noticed by others, they have to take advantage of the sound of the wind blowing and falling leaves before they dare to move.
Walking like this for more than 20 zhang, he could see more than ten men in yellow robes, each holding a weapon in their hands, and they were escorting an old man in a big robe with wide sleeves.As soon as the puppet turned its head, Zhang Wuji could see clearly that it was He Taichong, Mr. Tieqin, the leader of the Kunlun School, and he felt a chill in his heart: "Sure enough, even Mr. He is here."
Seeing a group of people enter the back door of Wan'an Temple, the three of them waited for a while, only to sneak in through the back door when they saw that there was no one around.There are many buildings in that temple, the scale is similar to Shaolin Temple, seeing the bright lights in the long windows of the main hall in the middle, it is expected that He Taichong was escorted there.The three of them stepped forward and arrived outside the hall.Zhang Wuji lay down on the ground, looking into the hall from the gap under the long window.Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao stood guard on the left and right.Although the three of them were highly skilled and courageous, they couldn't help feeling anxious when they went deep into the dragon's lake and tiger's lair.
The gap in the long window was very small, Zhang Wuji could only see He Taichong's lower body, but he couldn't see anyone else in the hall.He Taichong said angrily: "Since I have fallen into a treacherous scheme, I have fallen into your hands. If I want to be killed or cut, I will make a decision with one word. You force me to be a court eagle dog, that is absolutely impossible, so let me talk about it for three or five years, and I will not do it." In vain." Zhang Wuji nodded secretly, thinking: "Although this Mr. He is not a gentleman, but he is able to control the critical moment, and he has the spirit of a school leader."
Only a man's voice said coldly: "You are stubborn, and the master is not forceful, you know the rules here?" He Taichong said: "I will cut off all ten fingers at once, and I will not surrender." The man said : "Okay, let me say it again, if you win the three of us here, you will be released immediately. If you lose, you will cut off a finger and imprison you for a month, and you will not surrender if asked." He Taichong said: " I've already broken two fingers, so what's the point of breaking another one? Take the sword!" The man sneered and said, "After you have broken all ten fingers, come and surrender. We don't want you as a waste anymore. Give him the sword !Maha, Bath, practice with him!" Another thick voice replied: "Yes!"
Zhang Wuji secretly used his fingertips to dig the gap slightly wider, and saw He Taichong holding a wooden sword, the sword head was wrapped in cloth, it was soft and blunt, so it couldn't hurt anyone, and on the opposite side was a tall monk holding a sword in his hand But it was a pure steel Jiedao shining with blue light.The sharpness and bluntness of the two weapons are so different that there is almost no need to compete, and the winner will be decided at the first sight.But He Taichong was not discouraged, he waved his wooden sword lightly, and said: "Please!" The swipe of the sword was fierce, the Kunlun swordsmanship has unique secrets.The monk Mahabas was tall and big, but he was very agile in his movements, he came forward with a saber, and slashed at He Taichong's vital point.Zhang Wuji only watched a few moves, then secretly startled: "Why is it that Mr. He's footsteps are sloppy, his breathing is uneven, it seems that he has completely lost his inner strength?"
Although He Taichong's swordsmanship is proficient, his internal strength seems to be not far from that of ordinary people, he can't display the fierce power of his sword moves at all, but the monk's martial arts are really inferior to his, and several times before he attacked fiercely, he always gave He Taichong his strength The clever trick is to counter the opportunity.After more than fifty moves, He Taichong shouted: "Fight!" The sword turned eastward and westward, slanted forward, and with a soft sound, it had already stabbed the monk's armpit.If he was holding an ordinary sharp sword, or if he had not lost his internal strength, the sword's edge would have pierced through his muscles.
He only heard the cold voice say: "Mahapasi retreat! Wen Woer come on!" Zhang Heji looked where the voice came from, and saw that the speaker's face was covered with a layer of black smoke, and a thin and clear voice The gray beard is one of the two elders of Xuan Ming.He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes half-opened and half-closed, as if he was indifferent to what was going on in front of him.
Looking forward, I saw a pair of feet on a low table covered with brocade, wearing a pair of goose yellow women's satin shoes, each with a pearl on the toe.The soles of these feet were slender and the ankles were round. Zhang Wuji imagined that they were the feet of Zhao Min whom he had caught in Green Willow Manor that day.When he met her in Wudang Mountain, he treated her as an enemy, but when he saw the pair of slender feet on the brocade bench, recalling the feeling of holding the slender feet at that time, he couldn't help but blush and his heart beat faster.
But seeing Zhao Min's right foot move slightly, it is expected that she is watching He Taichong and Wen Wo'er's martial arts competition with full attention.It was about time for a cup of tea, He Taichong shouted: "Here!" Zhao Min stepped on the brocade stool with his right foot, and Wen Wo'er was defeated again.The black-faced old man Xuanming said: "Wen Woer retreat, Heilin Bofu comes on."
Zhang Wuji heard that He Taichong's breathing was heavy, he must have struggled with the two of them.After a while, the fight broke out again, that Hei Lin Bofu was a big and strong man, he used a long and heavy iron staff, which made the wind fill the hall, the candles in the hall were flickered by the wind, and the shadows of the candles were like Clouds in the sky flitted past Zhao Min's feet piece by piece.All of a sudden, the eyes went dark, and the red candles on the right side of the hall were all extinguished by the gust of wind blowing up from the iron staff, and with a click, the wooden sword snapped.He Taichong let out a long sigh, threw his sword to the ground, and finally lost this competition.
Old man Xuanming said: "Mr. Tieqin, will you surrender or not?" He Taichong said proudly: "I will neither surrender nor submit. If I have internal strength, how can this monk be my opponent?" Old man Xuanming said coldly: "Chop off the ring finger of his left hand and send it back to the tower."
Zhang Wuji turned his head, Yang Xiao shook his hand at him, apparently saying: "Rushing into the palace to save people at this moment, I will miss a major event." But He Taichong was very surprised when he heard the palace cut off his finger, applied medicine, stopped the bleeding, and bandaged the wound. He was so stubborn that he didn't even hum.The group of men in yellow held torches and sent him back to the high tower to be imprisoned.Zhang Wuji and the others shrank behind the corner, and under the firelight, he saw He Taichong's face was as white as paper, gnashing his teeth with an angry expression.
After the group walked far away, they suddenly heard a delicate and clear voice in the hall, saying: "Mr. Lu Zhang, the Kunlun School's swordsmanship is really good. The move he stabbed Mahabas was first to the left. , turn to the right..." Zhang Wuji looked closer again, and saw that it was Zhao Min who was speaking.As she spoke, she walked into the hall, holding a boxwood sword in her hand, and wielded it according to He Taichong's sword technique.The fan monk Maha Basi wielded two sabers in his hands, and he greeted her.
The black-faced old man Xuanming is the Luzhang guest that Zhao Min called "Mr. Luzhang", he praised: "Master is really smart, this move is absolutely perfect." Zhao Min practiced it again and again, every time It is to poke the tip of the sword into Mahabasi's armpit, although the sword is made of wood, but every time it is poked at the same place, it must be quite painful.However, Mahabas concentrated on the move with her, and when he finished this move, he still showed the flaws in his armpit, allowing her to poke it, without any intention of dodging or complaining.After practicing these moves, she asked Wen Wo'er to come out again, and tried He Taichong's sword technique to defeat him again.
Zhang Wuji could already see clearly that Zhao Min imprisoned the masters of various factions here, and used medicine to suppress their internal strength, forcing them to surrender to the imperial court.Naturally, everyone refused to surrender, so they ordered people to fight against them one by one. She watched from the sidelines and was able to secretly learn the exquisite tricks of various sects.
Following Zhao Min and Heilin Bofu's moves, he hesitated at the last move, and asked: "Mr. Lu Zhang, is this the case?" Are you clear?" A voice from the left corner said: "Master Ku must remember better." Zhao Min smiled and said: "Master Ku, please help me, please come and give me some pointers."
I saw a long-haired Toutuo walking towards the right, with a burly figure and scars all over his face, his original appearance was completely indistinguishable.His hair is yellow-brown, so he is not from the Middle Earth.Without saying a word, he took the wooden sword from Zhao Min's hand, swiped the sword several times, and then attacked Heilin Bofu, using the extremely pure Kunlun School sword technique.
Ku Toutuo, known as the "Master Ku", imitated He Taichong's sword moves without using any internal force, but Hei Lin Bofu did it with all his strength, and when the fight was at its height, he swept across with his staff, and the red light on the right side of the hall was extinguished. The candlesticks went out again.He Taichong had no way to dodge this move, he was forced to use his wooden sword to block the iron staff, and then he lost the sword, but Ku Toutuo's wooden sword turned sharply and cut out lightly, like a swallow flying across the water, Cut it against the iron rod.
Hei Linbofu's finger holding the stick was cut by the wooden sword, the acupoints on the tiger's mouth were sore and numb, he couldn't hold it right away, the iron stick fell to the ground with a bang, sending bricks and bricks flying.
Heilin Bofu blushed, knowing that if the wooden sword had been replaced by a sharp one, eight of his fingers would have been cut off, so he asked Ku Toutuo and bowed: "Master Ku, bow down!" He bent down and picked up the iron staff.Ku Toutuo held the wooden sword in both hands and handed it to Zhao Min.
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Master Ku, the last move is so exquisite, is it also the Kunlun School's sword technique?" Ku Toutuo shook his head.Zhao Min said again: "No wonder He Taichong can't. Master Ku, teach me." Ku Toutuo competed with the sword empty-handed, and Zhao Min followed suit with the sword.On the third practice, Ku Toutuo's movements were like lightning, and her sword moves were incredibly fast, Zhao Min couldn't keep up, but even though her sword moves were slow, she still followed the same pattern and was not at all happy.Ku Toutuo turned over, sent his hands forward, stopped and did not move.Zhang Wuji applauded secretly: "Okay, extremely brilliant!"
Zhao Min didn't understand for a while, looked sideways at Ku Toutuo's posture, thought for a while, then realized, and said: "Ah, Master Ku, if you have a weapon in your hand, you have already hit my arm with a stick. How to resolve a move?" But Ku Toutuo made a posture with his backhand, grabbed the iron staff, flew out with his left foot, raised his head, it was obvious that he had snatched the enemy's iron staff, and kicked him away at the same time.These few strokes seem to be clumsy but actually clever, but they are extremely vigorous external kung fu.Zhao Min smiled and said, "Good master, teach me quickly!" with a charming and charming expression.
Zhang Wuji's heart skipped a beat, he thought: "You don't have enough internal strength, you can't learn this move. But you are so begging, it is really hard to refuse, if you ask me, I don't know what to do?" Ku Toutuo made two gestures, which meant: "You don't have enough internal energy to learn." He turned and walked away, ignoring her.
Zhang Wuji pondered: "This Ku Toutuo's kungfu is as strong as the elder Xuanming's. Although he doesn't know what his internal strength is, but his moves are wonderful and he is a formidable opponent. He only gestures and doesn't speak. Could it be that he is dumb? But he is not deaf Miss Zhao treats him with courtesy, this person must have a lot of background."
Seeing that Ku Toutuo refused to teach any more, Zhao Min smiled slightly, but was not angry, and said, "Call Tang Wenliang from the Kongtong sect." After a while, Tang Wenliang was escorted into the hall.Lu Zhangke sent three more people to challenge him.Tang Wenliang didn't want to lose out on weapons, so he fought empty-handed and won two games first. In the third game, the opponent urged his internal strength, Tang Wenliang was helpless, and even cut off a finger.
This time Zhao Min practiced moves, with Lu Zhangke on the sidelines to guide him.Zhang Wuji had already seen the clues at this time, Zhao Min obviously lacked internal strength, and it was difficult to quickly master his emotions, so he wanted to learn all the strengths of the moves of other schools in order to become a generation of masters; At this time, it can greatly make up for the lack of skill.
Zhao Min had practiced palm technique, and said: "Call Juejue old nun!" A man in yellow said, "Jiejue old nun has been on a hunger strike for five days, and today he is still stubborn and refuses to obey orders." Zhao Min laughed and said, "Starve to death." Let her go! Well, ask Emei to send that little girl, Zhou Zhiruo." The subordinates agreed, and turned around. Zhang Wuji was always grateful to Zhou Zhiruo for taking good care of her in the Hanshui boat.On the Bright Peak, Zhou Zhiruo once taught him the method of counting directions easily, so he was able to resist the Huashan and Kunlun swords joining forces, and then stabbed him with the sword. It was a strict order from his master and he had to obey. It's off, it's obviously a show of affection.At this time, after hearing Zhao Min's order to bring her here, he couldn't help thinking for a moment, a group of men in yellow escorted Zhou Zhiruo into the palace.Zhang Wuji saw that she was as beautiful as before, only a little more haggard than when she was at the top of the light, although she was in the hands of the enemy, she was still calm and composed, as if she had long since put life and death aside.As usual, Lu Zhangke asked her if she would surrender, but Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and did not speak. Lu Zhangke was about to send someone to compete with her, Zhao Min said: "Miss Zhou, you are so young, you are already a senior disciple of the Emei sect, you are really enviable. I heard that you are the favorite disciple of Miejue Shitai, and you are very popular with her." The old man is a master of sword moves, isn't he?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "My family teacher is profound and profound in martial arts, and when it comes to passing on her master's mastery of sword moves, the little girl is young and shallow, but she is far behind." Zhao Min laughed and said: "The rules here , as long as whoever can beat the three of us, he will be sent out safely without any difficulty. Why is Master so arrogant and disdain to learn martial arts with us?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "Master would rather die than be humiliated. The dignified head of the Emei sect, how would you want to survive under your hands? You are right, the master really looks down on the despicable and vicious villains, and doesn't bother to fight with you." Min was not angry, but smiled and said, "What about you, Miss Zhou?" Zhou Zhiruo said, "My little girl, what's your opinion? I will do what Master says." Let's do it, shall we? Then for what?" Zhou Zhiruo said, "Although the swordsmanship of the Emei School cannot be said to be a great mastery, it is the martial arts of the Zhengmen School of the Central Plains, and we cannot let the shameless Hulu of Fanbang learn it secretly. Go." She spoke politely, but her words were sharp and merciless. Zhao Min was taken aback, he didn't expect that his intentions would be guessed too by Miejue Shitai. Hearing Zhou Zhiruo's "vicious villain" on the left and "shameless person" on the right, he couldn't help but let out a soft snort , the Yitian sword was already in his hand, and said: "Your master called us shameless. Okay! I would like to ask, this Yitian sword is obviously a treasure in my family, why would it be stolen by the Emei sect?" Zhou Zhiruo He said indifferently: "Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber have always been the two powerful weapons in the Central Plains martial arts. I have never heard of any relationship with Fanbang women." Zhao Min blushed, and said angrily, "Hmph! I can't see how tight your mouth is. Are you determined not to make a move?" Zhou Zhiruo shook her head.Zhao Min said: "Others who lost in the martial arts competition, or refused to do anything, I will cut off one of their fingers. You must be so proud of your beauty, you little girl, so I will not cut off your fingers," said Zhao Min, stretching out his hand to Ku Toutuo pointed and said: "I want you to be like this great master, with twenty or thirty sword marks on your face. See if you are still proud?" She waved her left hand lightly, and two men in yellow rushed forward Come, grab Zhou Zhiruo's arms. Zhao Min smiled and said: "To turn your pretty face into a honeycomb, you don't need to use any Emei School's exquisite swordsmanship. Do you think my three-legged cat style can't make you an ugly monster?" Tears welled up in Zhou Zhiruo's eyes, her body trembled, she saw that the tip of the Yitian Sword was only a few inches away from her cheek, as long as the demon's wrist moved forward, she would be the same as that ugly and terrifying Toutuo in a blink of an eye.Zhao Min smiled and said, "Are you afraid?" Zhou Zhiruo no longer dared to force her, so she nodded.Zhao Min said: "Okay! So you surrendered?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "I won't surrender! You kill me!" Zhao Min laughed and said: "I never kill people. I only cut you a little Flesh." A cold light flashed, Zhao Min swiped the long sword towards Zhou Zhiruo's face, suddenly there was a bang, and an object was thrown from outside the hall, knocking the Yitian sword away.At the same time, the long window in the hall was shattered, and a person flew in.The two men in yellow who were holding Zhou Zhiruo fell involuntarily.The man who entered through the broken window turned his left arm back to protect Zhou Zhiruo, stretched out his right palm, and intersected with Lu Zhangke, and with a bang, they each took two steps back.When everyone looked at that person, it was Mingjiao's opinion!avoid. This time he descended from the sky like a parachutist, everyone was shocked, even the masters like Xuan Ming Er Lao were not alert at all beforehand.Deer Zhangke heard that the long window was broken, even though he rushed to protect Zhao Min, and fought Zhang Wuji, he couldn't stand still, he took two steps back, and when he was about to raise his breath, he went up again, his whole body was hot in an instant, as if he was in a furnace . Zhou Zhiruo saw a catastrophe approaching, unexpectedly someone came to rescue him suddenly.She let Zhang Wuji hug her chest, touched his broad and solid chest, and smelled a strong masculine breath, the subtle feeling of being held in his arms and running on the top of the light that day, came back to her heart, I couldn't help being both surprised and happy, and my body was so soft that I almost fainted in an instant.It turned out that Zhang Wuji fought against Luzhangke's Xuanming palm with the Nine Suns Divine Art, and his whole body swelled with true energy, making his body warm like a melting pot, not to mention that this man is the dream companion and the person she misses day and night ?She felt extremely happy in her heart, as if thousands of knives and thousands of swords were cutting down the surrounding enemies at the same time, she would have no worries or fears. Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao saw the leader rushing in to save people, they followed him and dodged in, standing behind him on the left and right.Zhao Min's guards were in a hurry, at first they were a little flustered, but then they saw that there were only three enemies entering the hall, the guards inside and outside the hall responded with whistles, knowing that there were no enemies outside, they immediately blocked all the gates , waiting for Zhao Min to fall. Zhao Min was neither frightened nor angry, she just stared at Zhang Wuji for a while, then turned her eyes to the two golden objects in the corner of the hall, it turned out that when she stretched out the Yitian Sword to scratch Zhou Zhiruo's face, Zhang Wuji threw an object, Knock her sword away, and that thing is the golden box she gave.The Yitian sword was so sharp that it cut the gold box in half with a touch.She stared at the two halves of the gold box for a while, and said, "You hate this box so much, do you want it to be broken?" Hearing these words, Zhang Wuji was full of resentment. He turned his head to look at her, not angry and blaming, but distraught. He was stunned and felt very guilty, and said softly: "I didn't bring a hidden weapon. Zhong casually poked around in his bosom, touched the box and came out, it was not on purpose, please don't blame me." Zhao Min's eyes flashed, and he asked: "Do you take this box with you?" Zhang Wuji said: "Yes! Seeing that she was staring at him with wonderful eyes, and his left arm was still around Zhou Zhiruo, his face blushed slightly, and he let go of his arm. Zhao Min sighed, and said: "I didn't know Miss Zhou was you... your good friend, otherwise I wouldn't treat her like this. So you..." Turned her head away as she said.Zhang Wuji said: "Miss Zhou and I... it's nothing... just... just..." After saying "just" twice, he couldn't continue.Zhao Min turned his head and glanced at the two halves of the gold box on the ground again, but he didn't say a word, but in his eyes and expressions, it seemed that he had already said a thousand words. Zhou Zhiruo was startled: "This female devil faces a lot of love, could it be..." Zhang Wuji's mood was not as delicate and thoughtful as these two girls, and he only vaguely understood Zhao Min's expression, but he didn't realize the deep meaning in it at all.He only felt that Zhao Min gave him the pearl flower gold box, which healed Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting's disabilities, but at this moment he destroyed the gold box, so he felt sorry for them, so he went to the corner of the hall, bent over and picked up the two halves of the gold box , said: "I'll ask a master craftsman to set it up again." Zhao Minxi said: "Really?" Zhang Wuji nodded, thinking that you and I command countless heroes, how can you pay attention to these insignificant gold and silver playthings?Although the gold box is exquisite, it is not a rare treasure. Once the black jade intermittent ointment hidden in the box has been taken out, the box is useless. If it is broken, there is no need to worry about it. It is only a trivial matter to install it again.How many important matters are pending before you, but you keep telling me about this box, it must be a young girl mother-in-law who cares about these trivial things around her, it is really a woman's opinion, so you put the two halves of the box in your arms. Zhao Min said: "Then you go!" Zhang Wuji thought to himself that Uncle Song and others had not been rescued, so how could he go just now, but the enemy is full of masters, and there are only three of them on his side, when it comes to saving people, it is really not easy, and asked: " Miss Zhao, what is your intention in arresting my master uncle and others?" Zhao Min said with a smile: "I have good intentions, and I want to persuade them to contribute to the imperial court and enjoy the glory and wealth. Who would have thought that they would be stubborn and refuse to listen? Due to helplessness, I had no choice but to persuade slowly." Zhang Wuji snorted, turned around and returned to Zhou Zhiruo's side, surrounded by all the masters of the enemy, he bent over to pick up the box, and returned calmly, coming and going freely, as if no one was around.He glanced at everyone coldly, and said, "In that case, let's take our leave!" He took Zhou Zhiruo's hand and turned to leave. Zhao Min said calmly: "You go by yourself, and I won't stay. But you wanted to take Miss Zhou with you, but you didn't come to ask me, who do you think I am?" Zhang Wuji said: "This is indeed true. I owe you courtesy. Miss Zhao, please let Miss Zhou go and let her go with me." Zhao Min did not answer, but winked at the elder Xuanming. He Biweng took a step forward and said, "Master Zhang, you come and go as you say, and save people as you want. Where will we put our old faces? If you don't leave behind your unique skills, Brothers are hard to convince." Zhang Wuji recognized He Biweng's voice, he became angry and shouted: "When I was young, I was captured by you, and my life was almost at risk. Today you still have the face to talk to me? Go on? Move!" With a slap of the palm, he slapped He Biweng. Lu Zhangke had suffered from him just now, he knew that with He Biweng's strength alone, he was definitely no match for him, so he rushed forward and struck him with his palm.Zhang Wuji's right palm still struck at He Biweng, his left palm passed under his right palm, and hit back at the deer sticker.This is the collision of real power and real power, and there is really no room for dodge and trickery.The three of them intersected with four palms, and each body shook. On the Wudang Mountain that day, the elders Xuanming and Zhang Wuji met Zhang Wuji's palms with two palms, and struck Zhang Wuji with another two palms. At this moment, they repeated the old trick and slapped Zhang Wuji with two palms.Zhang Wuji suffered such a loss that day, how can he repeat the same mistake?The elbow sank slightly, and he performed the great movement of the universe, and with a loud bang, Hebi Weng's left palm hit Luzhangke's right palm.The two martial arts were taught by the same teacher, the palm technique is the same, the skill strength is similar, both arms were numb from the shock, as for why the senior and brothers fight each other, although the two martial arts are high, they don't know the reason.When the two were startled and angry, Zhang Wuji struck with both palms again.The two elders Xuanming still used both palms, one defending and one attacking, the palms they used were completely different from Shicai's, but when Zhang Wuji led them around, it was Lu Zhangke's left palm that hit He Biweng's right palm.The ingenuity and accuracy of the calculations of this Great Teleportation of the Universe are truly unimaginable. The two elders Xuanming turned pale in shock, seeing Zhang Wuji raised his palm for the third time, they coincidentally resisted with a single palm.When the three people's true strength intersected, the two elders Xuanming only felt a surge of pure yang energy in the opponent's palm, which was unbearable.Zhang Wuji's palm hair is like the wind, remembering that when he was young he was hit by He Biweng with the Xuanming God Palm, and he suffered so much for several years, so the palm strength for the Luzhangke still had leeway, but he did not have any strength against Hebiweng. don't relax. After more than twenty palms passed, He Biweng's blue face was already flushed, seeing the opponent's palm strike again, he feinted with his left palm, intending to defuse it, but he punched hard with his right palm obliquely.There were only two slaps, He Biweng's palm hit Lu Zhangke's shoulder hard, but Zhang Wuji's palm could not be melted away, and hit his chest.At last Zhang Wuji didn't want to hurt his life, this palm only exerted 30% of his true power, Crane Biweng let out a mouthful of blood, his face was already red and purple, and his body was shaking, if Zhang Wuji took advantage of the situation to make up another palm, it would be great Tell him to kill him on the spot.Lu Zhangke got a palm on his shoulder, and his face changed drastically due to the pain, his lips were bleeding from biting. Elder Xuan Ming is the most capable person under Zhao Min's subordinates, but he didn't know that the two of them joined forces, and each was injured within thirty strokes.All the warriors under Zhao Min turned pale, Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao were also surprised.The two of them had witnessed with their own eyes, that day when Xuanming and Elders made a move in Wudang Mountain, the leader's palm was injured. Unexpectedly, within a few months, they were able to make rapid progress.But the two of them immediately thought that the leader stayed in Wudang for several months, and after treating Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting's wounds, he asked Zhang Sanfeng for advice on the essence of martial arts, which eventually led to the magic of nine suns, the great shift of the universe, and the unique Taijiquan of Wudang. The sword, the three gradually merged into one.The two of them secretly praised Zhang Sanfeng for his pedantic nature and man, that's the word "unfathomable". The two elders, Xuanming and Ming, were defeated, roared in unison, and took out their weapons at the same time.I saw a short stick in the hand of the deer sticker. The tip of the stick was forked in the shape of antlers. The whole body was dark, and I don't know what it was made of; .The two of them have been following Zhao Min for a long time, but even Zhao Min has never seen them use weapons.When these three weapons were deployed, one could see a cloud of black air and two beams of white light, trapping Zhang Wuji in his heart in a short time.Zhang Wuji didn't bring a weapon and was unarmed, the situation was quite unfavorable, but he was not afraid at all, he wanted to test his own martial arts, whether he could resist the enemy with his bare hands under the siege of these two masters. The two elders, Xuanming and Xuanming, believed that their internal strength was profound, and Xuanming's divine palm was a unique skill in the world, so they would face palms against him as soon as they entered the battle. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wuji's Nine Suns Divine Art was beyond the reach of any internal strength, and he lost after dozens of palms.The weapons of the two of them won with strange moves, their names are derived from the weapons they used, the antler scepter and the crane beak double pen, each move is fierce and fierce, which is rare in the world.Zhang Wuji concentrated all his attention, he moved back and forth between the three weapons, attacking and defending freely, but he couldn't understand the way of the two weapons for a while, winning was not easy.Fortunately, He Biweng was seriously injured, so his moves were inevitably suffocated. Zhao Min tapped three times with the palm of his hand, the white blades were shining brightly in the hall, three people attacked Yang Xiao, four people attacked Wei Yixiao, and the other two sent out weapons to restrain Zhou Zhiruo.Yang Xiao immediately grabbed a sword, swung it like lightning, and stabbed one person with his backhand.Relying on his super light kung fu, Wei Yixiao knocked down the two of them with his icy palm.But the number of enemies is really too many, every time one person is defeated, two people will surround him. Zhang Wuji was entangled by the two elders Xuanming and couldn't help each other.It's not difficult for him and Yang Wei to retreat completely, but it's absolutely impossible to save Zhou Zhiruo. Just as she was anxious, she suddenly heard Zhao Min say: "Everyone stop!" The voice of these four words was not loud, and her men Everyone obeyed in unison, and jumped away immediately. Yang Xiao threw the long sword to the ground.Wei Yixiao held the single knife he had snatched from the enemy, swung it out, and threw it back to the original owner, laughing loudly.Seeing a man holding a dagger against Zhou Zhiruo's back, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but look worried.Zhou Zhiruo said dejectedly: "Mr. Zhang, the three of you, please do as you please. The little girl is very grateful for the kindness from the three of you." Zhao Min smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, I feel pity for Miss Zhou's beauty. She must be your favorite?" Zhang Wuji blushed and said, "Miss Zhou and I have known each other since we were young. We fell in love when we were young. This..." said and pointed to He Biweng, "...'s Xuanming God Palm, the poison penetrates into the body, and it is difficult to move around. Thanks to Miss Zhou for serving me food and drinking water, helping me persuade me, this kindness, Don’t dare to forget.” Zhao Min said: “In this way, you two are childhood friends. You want to marry her as the leader’s wife of the Demon Cult, don’t you?” Zhang Wuji blushed again, and said, “The Huns are still alive. Why do you do it at home!" Zhao Min's face sank, and he said: "You must fight against me to the end, you must destroy me, right?" Zhang Wuji shook his head and said: "I don't know the origin of the girl so far. Although there have been several disputes, every time the girl came to me, Zhang Wuji, and it was not Zhang who came to make trouble with the girl. As long as the girl releases all my teachers Uncle and people from various schools of martial arts, I am very grateful and dare not be hostile to the girl. What's more, the girl gave me the elixir and asked me to do three things for you. I should do my best and never put it off prevaricate." Hearing his sincerity, Zhao Min beamed with joy, like a flower just blooming, and said with a smile, "Hey, at least you haven't forgotten." Turning to look at Zhou Zhiruo, she said to Zhang Wuji, "This Miss Zhou is It's not your favorite person, nor is it a senior brother or sister, or a fiancée, so if I want to ruin her appearance, it has nothing to do with you..." The corners of her eyes moved, and the deer stick guest and the crane pen man raised their swords and stopped Zhou Zhiruo. Another man pointed a sharp knife at Zhou Zhiruo's cheek.If Zhang Wuji wanted to rush over to save someone, it would be difficult for the two elders Xuanming to pass.Zhao Min said coldly: "Young Master Zhang, you'd better tell me the truth." Wei Yixiao suddenly stretched out his palm, spit on the palm a few times, stretched out his hand and wiped the sole of the shoe a few times, laughed loudly, everyone didn't know what he was doing, when suddenly the blue shadow flickered.Zhao Min only felt that a palm was touched on each of his cheeks, and when Wei Yi smiled, he was already standing there, with two short knives in his hand, and I don't know who took them from someone's waist.Zhao Min thought about it, knowing it was not good, so he didn't dare to reach out to touch his cheek, so he hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped it on his face, but he saw that there was a lot of dirt on the handkerchief, which was obviously dirt from Wei Yixiao's soles mixed with saliva , Thinking about it makes me sick. Wei Yi smiled and said: "Miss Zhao, if you want to ruin Miss Zhou's appearance, that's up to you. You are so cruel and merciless, but my surname Wei won't let you go. You drew a scar on Miss Zhou's face today, and your surname is Wei." Repay twice as much, scratch twice. You scratch her twice, I scratch you four. You cut off one finger of hers, and I cut off two of yours." Having said this, he struck with the two short knives in his hand, and then Said: "The surname Wei can say it and do it. The Green Winged Bat King will practice what he says. He has never said a single empty word in his life. You can prevent me for a year or so, but you can't prevent it for ten or eight years. You want to send someone If you kill me, you may not be able to catch up with me. Farewell!" As soon as the word "Le" was uttered, there was no one there, and two short knives flew into the pillar with two bangs.Following two shouts of "Ah!" and "Ah!", the two monks in the hall slowly sat down, the long sword in their hands was taken away by Wei Yixiao somehow, and at the same time, acupuncture points were hit on their bodies. Wei Yixiao said these few words plainly, but everyone knew that they were definitely not empty words and threats. Seeing that Zhao Min's rosy cheeks were covered with black marks on Wei Yixiao's filthy hands, if He held the dagger in his hand first, and Zhao Min's cheek was already damaged.This kind of movement that comes and goes like lightning, like ghosts and ghosts, no matter how strong a master is, he can't guard against him, even Zhang Wuji is ashamed of himself.If he had to travel long distances, Zhang Wuji would be able to win with internal strength, but in the courtyard, corridors and verandahs, he retreated like a god, he was really the only one in the world. Zhang Wuji bowed and said, "Miss Zhao, I offended you today, so I will leave now." He took Yang Xiao's hand, turned around and left the hall, knowing that under Wei Yixiao's powerful intimidation, Zhao Min would not dare to treat Zhou Zhiruo again how. 赵敏瞧着他的背影，又羞又怒，却不下令拦截。 张无忌和杨逍回到客店，韦一笑已在店中相候。张无忌笑道：“韦蝠王，你今口给了他们一个下马威，好叫他们得知明教可不是好惹的。”韦一笑道：“吓吓小姑娘，倒也不是什么难事。她装得凶神恶煞一般，可是听我说要毁她容貌，担保她三天三晚睡不着觉。”杨逍笑道：“她睡不着觉，那可不好，咱们前去救人就更加难了。” 张无忌道：“杨左使，说到救人，你有何妙计？”杨逍踌躇道：“咱们这里只有三人，何况形迹已露，这件事当真棘手。”张无忌歉然道：“我见周姑娘危急，忍不住出手，终于坏了大事。”杨逍道：“事势如此，那是谁都忍不住的。教主独力打败玄冥二老，大杀敌人威风，那也很好。何况他们知道咱们已到，对宋大侠他们便不敢过分无礼。”张无忌想起宋大伯、俞二伯等身在敌手，赵敏对何太冲、唐文亮等又如此折辱，不由得忧心如焚。三人商谈半晌，不得要领，当即分别就奴。
次晨一早，张无忌睡梦中微觉窗上有声，便即醒转，一睁开眼，见窗子缓缓打开，有人探进头来向他凝望。他吃了一惊，揭帐看时，见那人脸上疤痕累累，丑陋可怖，正是那苦头陀。他一惊更甚，从床中跃起，见苦头陀仍呆呆望着自己，并无出手相害之意。张无忌叫道：“杨左使！韦蝠王！”杨韦二人在邻室齐声相应。 他心中一宽，却见苦头陀的脸已从窗边隐去，忙纵身出窗，见苦头陀从大门中匆匆出去。这时杨韦二人也已赶到，见此外并无敌人，三人发足向苦头陀追去。苦头陀等在街角，见三人走来，便转身向北，脚步甚大，却非奔跑。三人打个手势，跟随其后。 此时天方黎明，街上行人稀少，不多时便出北门。苦头陀继续前行，折向小路，又走了七八里，来到一处乱石冈上，这才停步转身，向杨逍和韦一笑摆了摆手，要他二人退开，随即抱拳向张无忌行礼。 张无忌还了一礼，寻思：“这头陀带我们来到此处，不知有何用意？这里四下无人，倘若动武，他以一敌三，显然十分不利，瞧他情状，似乎不含敌意。”盘算未定，苦头陀嗬嗬一声，双爪齐到，扑了上来。他左手虎爪，右手龙爪，十指成钩，攻势猛恶。 张无忌左掌挥出，化开这一招，说道：“上人意欲如何？请先言明，再动手不迟。”苦头陀毫不理会，竟似没听见他说话一般，只见他左手自虎爪变成鹰爪，右手却自龙爪变成虎爪，一攻左肩，一取右腹，出手狠辣。张无忌道：“当真非打不可吗？”苦头陀鹰爪变狮掌，虎爪变鹤嘴，一击一啄，招式又变，三招之间，双手变了六般姿式。 张无忌不敢怠慢，施展太极拳法，身形犹如行云流水，便在乱石冈上跟他斗了起来。但觉这苦头陀的招数甚是繁复，有时大开大阖，门户正大，但倏然之间，又变得诡秘古怪，全为邪派武功，显是正邪兼修，渊博无比。张无忌只以太极拳跟他拆招。斗到七八十招时，苦头陀呼的一拳，中宫直进。张无忌一招“如封似闭”，将他拳力封住，跟着一招“单鞭”，左掌已拍在他背上，这一掌没发内力，手掌一沾即离。 苦头陀知他手下留情，向后跃开，斜眼向张无忌望了半晌，突然向杨逍做个手势，要借他腰间长剑一用。杨逍解下剑绦，连着剑鞘双手托住，送到苦头陀面前。张无忌暗暗奇怪：“怎地杨左使将兵刃借了给敌人？” 苦头陀拔剑出鞘，打个手势，叫张无忌向韦一笑借剑。张无忌摇摇头，接过他左手拿着的剑鞘，使招“请手”，便以剑鞘当剑，左手捏了剑诀，剑鞘横在身前。苦头陀刷的一剑，斜刺而至。张无忌见过他教导赵敏学剑，知他剑术甚是高明，当即施展这数月中在武当山上精的太极剑法，凝神接战。但见对手剑招忽快忽慢，处处暗藏机锋，张无忌一加拆解，他立即撤回，另使新招，几乎没一招是使得到底了的。张无忌心下赞叹：“若在半年前遇到此人，剑法上我不是他敌手。比之那八臂神剑方东白，这苦头陀又高上一筹了。” 他起了爱才之念，不愿在招数上明着取胜。眼见苦头陀长剑挥舞，使出“乱披风”势来，白刃映日，有如万道金蛇乱钻乱窜，他看得分明，蓦地里倒过剑鞘，刷的一声，剑鞘已套上了剑刃，双手环抱一搭，轻轻扣住苦头陀双手手腕，微微一笑，纵身后跃。这时他手上只须略加使劲，便已将长剑夺过。这一招夺剑之法险是险到了极处，巧也巧到了极处，而他手离剑鞘，便是将剑鞘送还给对方。 他纵身后跃，尚未落地，苦头陀已抛下长剑，呼的一掌拍到。张无忌听到风声，心知这一掌真力充沛，非同小可，有意试一试他内力，右掌回转，硬碰硬地接了他这掌，左足这才着地。霎时之间，苦头陀掌上真力源源催至。张无忌运起乾坤大挪移心法中第七层功夫，将他掌力渐渐积蓄，突然间大喝一声，反震出去，便如一座大湖在山洪爆发时储满了洪水，猛地里湖堤崩决，洪水急冲而出，将苦头陀送来的掌力尽数倒回。这是将对方十余掌的力道归并成为一掌拍出，世上原无如此大力。苦头陀倘若受实了，势须立时腕骨、臂骨、肩骨、肋骨齐断，连血也喷不出来，当场血肉模糊，死得惨不可言。 此时双掌相粘，苦头陀万难闪避。张无忌左手抓住他胸口往上抛掷，苦头陀庞大的身躯向空飞起，砰的一声巨响，乱石横飞，这一下威力无俦的掌力，尽数打在乱石堆里。 杨逍和韦一笑在旁看到这等声势，齐声惊呼。他二人只道苦头陀和教主比拼内力，至少也得一盏茶时分方能分出高下，哪料到片刻之间，便到了决生死的关头。二人心中虽有话说，却已不及言讲，待见苦头陀平安无恙地落下，手心中都已捏了一把冷汗。 苦头陀双足一着地，登时双手做火焰飞腾之状，放在胸口，躬身向张无忌拜倒，说道：“属下光明右使范遥，参见教主。谢教主不杀之恩。属下无礼冒犯，还请恕罪。”他十多年来从不开口，说起话来声调已颇不自然。 张无忌又惊又喜，这哑巴苦头陀不但开了口，且更是本教的光明右使，这一着大非始料所及，忙伸手扶起，喜容满面，说道：“原来是本教范右使，当真叫人喜出望外，自家人请勿多礼。” 杨逍和韦一笑跟他到乱石冈来之时，早已料到了三分，只不过范遥的面貌变化实在太大，不敢便即相认，待得见他施展武功，更猜到了七八分，这时听他自报姓名，两人抢上前来，紧紧握住了他手。 杨逍向他脸上凝望半晌，潸然泪下，说道：“兄弟，没想到此生还能再见到你！做哥哥的想得你好苦。”范遥抱住杨逍身子，说道：“大哥，你身体好？这么多年，一点也没老。”杨逍道：“做哥哥的想得你好苦。”范遥欢然道：“大哥，多谢明尊佑护，赐下教主这等能人，你我兄弟终有重会之日。”杨逍奇道：“兄弟怎地变成这等模样？”范遥道：“我若非自毁容貌，怎瞒得过混元霹雳手成昆那奸贼？” 三人一听，才知他是故意毁容，混人敌人身边卧底。杨逍更是伤感，握着他手，舍不得放开，说道：“兄弟，这可苦了你啦！”杨逍、范遥当年江湖上人称“逍遥二仙”，都是英俊潇洒的美男子，范遥竟将自己伤残得如此丑陋不堪，其苦心孤诣、勇决狠劲，实非常人之所能。韦一笑向来和范遥不睦，但这时也不由得深为所感，拜了下去，说道：“范右使，韦一笑到今日才真正服了你！”范遥跪下还拜，笑道：“韦蝠王轻功独步天下，神妙更胜当年，苦头陀昨晚大开眼界。” 杨逍四下张望，说道：“此处离城不远，敌人耳目众多，咱们到前面山坳中说话。”四人奔出十余里，到了一个小冈之后。该处一望数里，不愁有人隐伏偷听，但从远处却瞧不见冈后的情景。四人坐地，说起别来情由。
当年阳顶天突然不知所踪，明教众高手为争教主之位，互不相下，以致四分五裂。范遥劝阻无效，认定教主并未逝世，于是独行江湖，寻访他的下落，忽忽数年，没发现丝毫踪迹。后来想到或许是为丐帮所害，暗中捉了好些丐帮的重要人物拷打逼问，仍查不出半点端倪。其后听到明教诸人纷争，闹得更加厉害，更有人正在到处寻他，要以他为号召。范遥无意去争教主，亦不愿卷人漩涡，便远远躲开，又怕给教中兄弟撞到，于是装上长须，扮作个老年书生，到处漫游。 有一日他在大都闹市上见到一人，认得是阳教主夫人的师兄成昆，不禁暗惊。这时武林中早已到处轰传，不少好手为人所杀，现场总是留下了“杀人者混元霹雳手成昆也”的字样。他想查明此事真相，又想向成昆探询阳教主的下落，于是远远跟着。只见成昆走上一座酒楼，酒楼上有两个人等着，便是玄冥二老。范遥知成昆武功高强，便远远坐着假装喝酒，隐隐约约只听到三言两语，但“须当毁了光明顶”这七个字却听得清清楚楚。范遥得知本敎有难，不能袖手不理，于是暗中跟随，见三人走进了汝阳王府中。后来更查到玄冥二老是汝阳王手下武士中的顶尖人物。 汝阳王察罕特穆尔官居太尉，执掌天下兵马大权，智勇双全，是朝廷中的第一位能人，江淮义军起事，均为他遣兵扑灭。义军屡起屡败，皆因察罕特穆尔统兵有方之故。张无忌等久闻其名，这时听到鹿杖客等是他的手下，虽不惊讶，却也为之一怔。 杨逍问道：“那么那个赵姑娘是谁？” 范遥道：“大哥不妨猜上一猜。”杨逍道：“莫非是察罕特穆尔的女儿？”范遥拍手道：“不错，一猜便中。这汝阳王有一子一女，儿子叫做库库特穆尔，女儿便是这位姑娘了，她的蒙古名叫做什么敏敏特穆尔。库库特穆尔是汝阳王世子，将来是要袭王爵的。那位姑娘的封号是绍敏郡主。这两个孩子都生性好武，倒也学了一身好武功。两人又爱作汉人打扮，说汉人的话，各自取了一个汉名，男的叫做王保保，女的便叫做赵敏。'赵敏'二字，是从她的封号'绍敏郡主'而来。”韦一笑道：“这兄妹二人倒也古怪，一个姓王，一个姓赵，倘若是咱们汉人，那可笑死人了。”范遥道：“其实他们都姓特穆尔，却把名字放在前面，这是番邦蛮俗。那汝阳王察罕特穆尔也有汉姓的，却是姓李。”四人一齐大笑。（按：《新元史》第二百二十卷《察罕帖木儿传》：“察罕帖木儿曾祖阔阔台，祖乃蛮台，父阿鲁温，遂家河南，为颍州沈丘人，改姓李氏。”察罕特穆尔无子，库库特穆尔为其外甥，给他收为义子而作世子。此等小节，小说中不加细辨。） 杨逍道：“这赵姑娘的容貌模样，活脱是个汉人美女，可是只须一瞧她行事，那番邦女子的凶蛮野性，立时便显露了出来。” 张无忌直到此刻，方知赵敏的来历，虽早料想她必是朝廷贵人，却没料到竟是天下兵马大元帅汝阳王的郡主。和她交手数次，每次多多少少地都落了下风，虽然她武功不及自己，但心思机敏、奇变百出，实不是她敌手。 范遥接着说道：“属下暗中继续探听，得知汝阳王以天下动乱，皆因汉人习武者众，群相反叛，决意剿灭江湖上的门派帮会。他采纳了成昆的计谋，第一步便想除灭本教。我仔细思鲎，本教内部纷争不休，外敌却如此之强，灭亡的大祸已迫在眉睫，要图挽救，只有混人王府，查知汝阳王的谋划，那时再相机解救。除此之外，实在别无良策。只是我好生奇怪，成昆既是阳教主夫人的师兄，又是谢狮王的师父，却何以如此狠毒地跟本教作对。其中原由，说什么也想不出来，料想他必是贪图富贵，要灭了本教，为朝廷立功。本教兄弟识得成昆的不多，我以前却曾和他朝过相，他是认得我的，要使我所图不致……：露，只有想法子杀了此人。”韦一笑道：“正该如此。” 范遥道：“可是此人实在狡狯，武功又强，我接连暗算了他三次，都没成功。第三次虽刺中了他一剑，我却也给他劈了一掌，好容易才得脱逃，不致露了形迹，但已身受重伤，养了年余才好。这时汝阳王府中图谋更急，我想倘若乔装改扮，只能瞒得一时，我当年和杨大哥齐名，江湖上知道'逍遥二仙'的人着实不少，日子久了，必定露出马脚，于是一咬牙便毁了自己容貌，扮作个带发头陀，更用药物染了头发，投到了西域花刺子模国去。” 韦一笑奇道：“到花刺子模？万里迢迢的，跟这事又有什么相干？”范遥一笑，正待回答，杨逍拍手道：“此计大妙。韦兄，范兄弟到了花刺子模，找个机缘一显身手，那边的蒙古王公必定收录。汝阳王正在招聘四方武士，花刺子模的王公为讨好汝阳王，定然会送他到王府效力。这么一来，范兄弟成了西域花刺子模国进献的色目武士，他容貌已变，又不开口说话，成昆便有天大本事，也认他不出了。、韦一笑长叹一声，说道：阳教主将逍遥二仙排名在四大法王之上，确是目光了得。这等高明计谋，什么鹰王、蝠王，都是想不出来的。”范遥道：“韦兄，你赞得我也够了。果如杨大哥所料，我在花刺子模杀狮毙虎，颇立威名，当地王公便送我到汝阳王府中。但那成昆其时已不在王府，不知去了何方。” 杨逍当下略述成昆何以和明教结仇、如何偷袭光明顶、如何奸谋为张无忌所破、如何与殷野王比拼掌力而死的经过。 范遥听罢，呆了半响，才知中间原来有这许多曲折，站起身来，恭恭敬敬地对张无忌道：“教主，有一件事属下向你领罪。”张无忌道：“范右使何必过谦。”范遥道：“属下到了汝阳王府，为了坚王爷之信，在大都闹市之中，亲手格毙了本教三名香主，显得本人和明教早就结下深仇。” 张无忌默然，心想：“残杀本教兄弟，乃本教重大禁忌之一，因此杨左使、四法王、五行旗等争夺教主之位，尽管相斗甚烈，却从来不伤本教兄弟的性命。范右使此罪实在不轻，但他主旨是为了护教，非因私仇，按理又不能加罪于他。”说道：“范右使出于护教苦心，虽犯教规，本人不便深责。”范遥躬身道：“谢教主恕罪。”张无忌暗想：“这位范右使行事之辣手，世所罕有。他能在自己脸上砍上十七八刀，那么杀几个教中无辜香主，自也不在他意下。明教给人称作邪教魔教，其来有自，看来须得严令再申三大令、五小令，方能改得了这些魔道邪气。” 范遥见张无忌口中虽说“不便深责”，脸上却有不豫之色，一伸手，拔出杨逍腰间长剑，右手挥出，在自己左臂上重重刺了一剑，登时鲜血喷流。张无忌大吃一惊，夹手抢过他长剑，说道：“范右使，你……你……这是为何？”范遥道：“残杀本教无辜兄弟，乃是重罪。范遥大事未了，不能自尽。先刺一剑，日后再断项上这颗人头。” 张无忌道：“本人已恕了范右使的过失，何苦再又如此？身当大事之际，唯须从权。范右使，此事不必再提。”忙取出金创药，为他敷了伤处，撕下自己衣襟，给他包扎好了，心知此人性烈，别说言语中得罪不得，脸色上也不能使他有半分难堪。他说得出做得到，恐怕日后真的会自刎谢罪，想到他为本教受了这等重大折磨，心中大是感动，突然跪倒，说道：“范右使，你有大功于本教，受我一拜。你再残害自身，便是说我无德无能，不配当此教主大任，我自当立即辞去教主之位。我年幼识浅，处事多错，要请你多多原谅。”范遥、杨逍、韦一笑见教主跪倒，忙一起拜伏在地。 杨逍垂泪道：“范兄弟，你休得再是如此。本教兴衰全系教主一人。教主令旨，你可千万不能违背。”范遥拜道：“属下今日比剑试掌，对教主已死心塌地地拜服。苦头陀性情乖张，还请教主原宥。”张无忌双手扶他起身。此后两人相互知心，再无隔阂。 范遥当下再陈述投入汝阳王府后所见所闻。 那汝阳王察罕特穆尔实有经国用兵的大才，虽握兵权，朝政却受奸相把持，加之当今皇帝昏庸无道，更兼连年南北天灾，弄得天下大乱，民心沸腾，全仗汝阳王征讨攻伐，击溃义军无数。可是此灭彼起，岁无宁日，汝阳王忙于调兵遣将，只得将扑灭江湖上教派帮会之事，暂且搁置不理。 数年之后，他一子一女长大，世子库库特穆尔随父带兵，女儿敏敏特穆尔统率蒙汉西域的武士番僧，向门派帮会大举进击。成昆暗中助她策划，乘着六大派围攻光明顶之际，由赵敏带同大批高手，企图乘机坐收渔人之利，将明教和六大派一鼓剿灭。绿柳山庄中下毒等等情由，便因此而起。当时范遥奉命保护汝阳王，西域之行没能参与，直到后来方始得知。范遥说道，他虽在汝阳王府中毫不露形迹，但因他来自西域，赵敏便不让他参与西域之役，说不定这也是成昆出的主意。 赵敏以西域番僧所献的毒药“十香软筋散”，暗中下在从光明顶归来的六大派高手饮食之中。“十香软筋散”无色无臭，味同清水，混入菜肴之中，绝难分辨得出。这毒药的药性一发作，登时全身筋骨酸软，过得数日后，虽能行动如常，内力却已半点发挥不出，因此六大派远征光明顶的众高手在东还之时，一一分别就擒。只是在对少林派空性所率的第三拨人下毒时给撞破了，真刀真枪地动起手来。空性为阿三所杀，余人不敌赵敏手下众多高手，战死十多人后，尽数遭擒。 此后赵敏便率人进袭中原六大派的根本之地，第一个便挑中了少林派。少林寺防卫严密，要想混入寺中下毒，可大大不易，不比行旅之间，须得在市镇客店中借宿打尖，下毒轻而易举。既不能下毒，便即恃众强攻。 范遥说道：“郡主要对少林寺下手，怕人手不足，又从大都调了一批人去相助，那便由我率领，正好赶上了围擒少林群僧之役。少林派向来对本教无礼，让他们多吃些苦头，正是人心大快。就算将
Zhao Min had practiced palm technique, and said: "Call Juejue old nun!" A man in yellow said, "Jiejue old nun has been on a hunger strike for five days, and today he is still stubborn and refuses to obey orders." Zhao Min laughed and said, "Starve to death." Let her go! Well, ask Emei to send that little girl, Zhou Zhiruo." The subordinates agreed, and turned around. Zhang Wuji was always grateful to Zhou Zhiruo for taking good care of her in the Hanshui boat.On the Bright Peak, Zhou Zhiruo once taught him the method of counting directions easily, so he was able to resist the Huashan and Kunlun swords joining forces, and then stabbed him with the sword. It was a strict order from his master and he had to obey. It's off, it's obviously a show of affection.At this time, after hearing Zhao Min's order to bring her here, he couldn't help thinking for a moment, a group of men in yellow escorted Zhou Zhiruo into the palace.Zhang Wuji saw that she was as beautiful as before, only a little more haggard than when she was at the top of the light, although she was in the hands of the enemy, she was still calm and composed, as if she had long since put life and death aside.As usual, Lu Zhangke asked her if she would surrender, but Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and did not speak. Lu Zhangke was about to send someone to compete with her, Zhao Min said: "Miss Zhou, you are so young, you are already a senior disciple of the Emei sect, you are really enviable. I heard that you are the favorite disciple of Miejue Shitai, and you are very popular with her." The old man is a master of sword moves, isn't he?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "My family teacher is profound and profound in martial arts, and when it comes to passing on her master's mastery of sword moves, the little girl is young and shallow, but she is far behind." Zhao Min laughed and said: "The rules here , as long as whoever can beat the three of us, he will be sent out safely without any difficulty. Why is Master so arrogant and disdain to learn martial arts with us?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "Master would rather die than be humiliated. The dignified head of the Emei sect, how would you want to survive under your hands? You are right, the master really looks down on the despicable and vicious villains, and doesn't bother to fight with you." Min was not angry, but smiled and said, "What about you, Miss Zhou?" Zhou Zhiruo said, "My little girl, what's your opinion? I will do what Master says." Let's do it, shall we? Then for what?" Zhou Zhiruo said, "Although the swordsmanship of the Emei School cannot be said to be a great mastery, it is the martial arts of the Zhengmen School of the Central Plains, and we cannot let the shameless Hulu of Fanbang learn it secretly. Go." She spoke politely, but her words were sharp and merciless. Zhao Min was taken aback, he didn't expect that his intentions would be guessed too by Miejue Shitai. Hearing Zhou Zhiruo's "vicious villain" on the left and "shameless person" on the right, he couldn't help but let out a soft snort , the Yitian sword was already in his hand, and said: "Your master called us shameless. Okay! I would like to ask, this Yitian sword is obviously a treasure in my family, why would it be stolen by the Emei sect?" Zhou Zhiruo He said indifferently: "Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber have always been the two powerful weapons in the Central Plains martial arts. I have never heard of any relationship with Fanbang women." Zhao Min blushed, and said angrily, "Hmph! I can't see how tight your mouth is. Are you determined not to make a move?" Zhou Zhiruo shook her head.Zhao Min said: "Others who lost in the martial arts competition, or refused to do anything, I will cut off one of their fingers. You must be so proud of your beauty, you little girl, so I will not cut off your fingers," said Zhao Min, stretching out his hand to Ku Toutuo pointed and said: "I want you to be like this great master, with twenty or thirty sword marks on your face. See if you are still proud?" She waved her left hand lightly, and two men in yellow rushed forward Come, grab Zhou Zhiruo's arms. Zhao Min smiled and said: "To turn your pretty face into a honeycomb, you don't need to use any Emei School's exquisite swordsmanship. Do you think my three-legged cat style can't make you an ugly monster?" Tears welled up in Zhou Zhiruo's eyes, her body trembled, she saw that the tip of the Yitian Sword was only a few inches away from her cheek, as long as the demon's wrist moved forward, she would be the same as that ugly and terrifying Toutuo in a blink of an eye.Zhao Min smiled and said, "Are you afraid?" Zhou Zhiruo no longer dared to force her, so she nodded.Zhao Min said: "Okay! So you surrendered?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "I won't surrender! You kill me!" Zhao Min laughed and said: "I never kill people. I only cut you a little Flesh." A cold light flashed, Zhao Min swiped the long sword towards Zhou Zhiruo's face, suddenly there was a bang, and an object was thrown from outside the hall, knocking the Yitian sword away.At the same time, the long window in the hall was shattered, and a person flew in.The two men in yellow who were holding Zhou Zhiruo fell involuntarily.The man who entered through the broken window turned his left arm back to protect Zhou Zhiruo, stretched out his right palm, and intersected with Lu Zhangke, and with a bang, they each took two steps back.When everyone looked at that person, it was Mingjiao's opinion!avoid. This time he descended from the sky like a parachutist, everyone was shocked, even the masters like Xuan Ming Er Lao were not alert at all beforehand.Deer Zhangke heard that the long window was broken, even though he rushed to protect Zhao Min, and fought Zhang Wuji, he couldn't stand still, he took two steps back, and when he was about to raise his breath, he went up again, his whole body was hot in an instant, as if he was in a furnace . Zhou Zhiruo saw a catastrophe approaching, unexpectedly someone came to rescue him suddenly.She let Zhang Wuji hug her chest, touched his broad and solid chest, and smelled a strong masculine breath, the subtle feeling of being held in his arms and running on the top of the light that day, came back to her heart, I couldn't help being both surprised and happy, and my body was so soft that I almost fainted in an instant.It turned out that Zhang Wuji fought against Luzhangke's Xuanming palm with the Nine Suns Divine Art, and his whole body swelled with true energy, making his body warm like a melting pot, not to mention that this man is the dream companion and the person she misses day and night ?She felt extremely happy in her heart, as if thousands of knives and thousands of swords were cutting down the surrounding enemies at the same time, she would have no worries or fears. Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao saw the leader rushing in to save people, they followed him and dodged in, standing behind him on the left and right.Zhao Min's guards were in a hurry, at first they were a little flustered, but then they saw that there were only three enemies entering the hall, the guards inside and outside the hall responded with whistles, knowing that there were no enemies outside, they immediately blocked all the gates , waiting for Zhao Min to fall. Zhao Min was neither frightened nor angry, she just stared at Zhang Wuji for a while, then turned her eyes to the two golden objects in the corner of the hall, it turned out that when she stretched out the Yitian Sword to scratch Zhou Zhiruo's face, Zhang Wuji threw an object, Knock her sword away, and that thing is the golden box she gave.The Yitian sword was so sharp that it cut the gold box in half with a touch.She stared at the two halves of the gold box for a while, and said, "You hate this box so much, do you want it to be broken?" Hearing these words, Zhang Wuji was full of resentment. He turned his head to look at her, not angry and blaming, but distraught. He was stunned and felt very guilty, and said softly: "I didn't bring a hidden weapon. Zhong casually poked around in his bosom, touched the box and came out, it was not on purpose, please don't blame me." Zhao Min's eyes flashed, and he asked: "Do you take this box with you?" Zhang Wuji said: "Yes! Seeing that she was staring at him with wonderful eyes, and his left arm was still around Zhou Zhiruo, his face blushed slightly, and he let go of his arm. Zhao Min sighed, and said: "I didn't know Miss Zhou was you... your good friend, otherwise I wouldn't treat her like this. So you..." Turned her head away as she said.Zhang Wuji said: "Miss Zhou and I... it's nothing... just... just..." After saying "just" twice, he couldn't continue.Zhao Min turned his head and glanced at the two halves of the gold box on the ground again, but he didn't say a word, but in his eyes and expressions, it seemed that he had already said a thousand words. Zhou Zhiruo was startled: "This female devil faces a lot of love, could it be..." Zhang Wuji's mood was not as delicate and thoughtful as these two girls, and he only vaguely understood Zhao Min's expression, but he didn't realize the deep meaning in it at all.He only felt that Zhao Min gave him the pearl flower gold box, which healed Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting's disabilities, but at this moment he destroyed the gold box, so he felt sorry for them, so he went to the corner of the hall, bent over and picked up the two halves of the gold box , said: "I'll ask a master craftsman to set it up again." Zhao Minxi said: "Really?" Zhang Wuji nodded, thinking that you and I command countless heroes, how can you pay attention to these insignificant gold and silver playthings?Although the gold box is exquisite, it is not a rare treasure. Once the black jade intermittent ointment hidden in the box has been taken out, the box is useless. If it is broken, there is no need to worry about it. It is only a trivial matter to install it again.How many important matters are pending before you, but you keep telling me about this box, it must be a young girl mother-in-law who cares about these trivial things around her, it is really a woman's opinion, so you put the two halves of the box in your arms. Zhao Min said: "Then you go!" Zhang Wuji thought to himself that Uncle Song and others had not been rescued, so how could he go just now, but the enemy is full of masters, and there are only three of them on his side, when it comes to saving people, it is really not easy, and asked: " Miss Zhao, what is your intention in arresting my master uncle and others?" Zhao Min said with a smile: "I have good intentions, and I want to persuade them to contribute to the imperial court and enjoy the glory and wealth. Who would have thought that they would be stubborn and refuse to listen? Due to helplessness, I had no choice but to persuade slowly." Zhang Wuji snorted, turned around and returned to Zhou Zhiruo's side, surrounded by all the masters of the enemy, he bent over to pick up the box, and returned calmly, coming and going freely, as if no one was around.He glanced at everyone coldly, and said, "In that case, let's take our leave!" He took Zhou Zhiruo's hand and turned to leave. Zhao Min said calmly: "You go by yourself, and I won't stay. But you wanted to take Miss Zhou with you, but you didn't come to ask me, who do you think I am?" Zhang Wuji said: "This is indeed true. I owe you courtesy. Miss Zhao, please let Miss Zhou go and let her go with me." Zhao Min did not answer, but winked at the elder Xuanming. He Biweng took a step forward and said, "Master Zhang, you come and go as you say, and save people as you want. Where will we put our old faces? If you don't leave behind your unique skills, Brothers are hard to convince." Zhang Wuji recognized He Biweng's voice, he became angry and shouted: "When I was young, I was captured by you, and my life was almost at risk. Today you still have the face to talk to me? Go on? Move!" With a slap of the palm, he slapped He Biweng. Lu Zhangke had suffered from him just now, he knew that with He Biweng's strength alone, he was definitely no match for him, so he rushed forward and struck him with his palm.Zhang Wuji's right palm still struck at He Biweng, his left palm passed under his right palm, and hit back at the deer sticker.This is the collision of real power and real power, and there is really no room for dodge and trickery.The three of them intersected with four palms, and each body shook. On the Wudang Mountain that day, the elders Xuanming and Zhang Wuji met Zhang Wuji's palms with two palms, and struck Zhang Wuji with another two palms. At this moment, they repeated the old trick and slapped Zhang Wuji with two palms.Zhang Wuji suffered such a loss that day, how can he repeat the same mistake?The elbow sank slightly, and he performed the great movement of the universe, and with a loud bang, Hebi Weng's left palm hit Luzhangke's right palm.The two martial arts were taught by the same teacher, the palm technique is the same, the skill strength is similar, both arms were numb from the shock, as for why the senior and brothers fight each other, although the two martial arts are high, they don't know the reason.When the two were startled and angry, Zhang Wuji struck with both palms again.The two elders Xuanming still used both palms, one defending and one attacking, the palms they used were completely different from Shicai's, but when Zhang Wuji led them around, it was Lu Zhangke's left palm that hit He Biweng's right palm.The ingenuity and accuracy of the calculations of this Great Teleportation of the Universe are truly unimaginable. The two elders Xuanming turned pale in shock, seeing Zhang Wuji raised his palm for the third time, they coincidentally resisted with a single palm.When the three people's true strength intersected, the two elders Xuanming only felt a surge of pure yang energy in the opponent's palm, which was unbearable.Zhang Wuji's palm hair is like the wind, remembering that when he was young he was hit by He Biweng with the Xuanming God Palm, and he suffered so much for several years, so the palm strength for the Luzhangke still had leeway, but he did not have any strength against Hebiweng. don't relax. After more than twenty palms passed, He Biweng's blue face was already flushed, seeing the opponent's palm strike again, he feinted with his left palm, intending to defuse it, but he punched hard with his right palm obliquely.There were only two slaps, He Biweng's palm hit Lu Zhangke's shoulder hard, but Zhang Wuji's palm could not be melted away, and hit his chest.At last Zhang Wuji didn't want to hurt his life, this palm only exerted 30% of his true power, Crane Biweng let out a mouthful of blood, his face was already red and purple, and his body was shaking, if Zhang Wuji took advantage of the situation to make up another palm, it would be great Tell him to kill him on the spot.Lu Zhangke got a palm on his shoulder, and his face changed drastically due to the pain, his lips were bleeding from biting. Elder Xuan Ming is the most capable person under Zhao Min's subordinates, but he didn't know that the two of them joined forces, and each was injured within thirty strokes.All the warriors under Zhao Min turned pale, Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao were also surprised.The two of them had witnessed with their own eyes, that day when Xuanming and Elders made a move in Wudang Mountain, the leader's palm was injured. Unexpectedly, within a few months, they were able to make rapid progress.But the two of them immediately thought that the leader stayed in Wudang for several months, and after treating Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting's wounds, he asked Zhang Sanfeng for advice on the essence of martial arts, which eventually led to the magic of nine suns, the great shift of the universe, and the unique Taijiquan of Wudang. The sword, the three gradually merged into one.The two of them secretly praised Zhang Sanfeng for his pedantic nature and man, that's the word "unfathomable". The two elders, Xuanming and Ming, were defeated, roared in unison, and took out their weapons at the same time.I saw a short stick in the hand of the deer sticker. The tip of the stick was forked in the shape of antlers. The whole body was dark, and I don't know what it was made of; .The two of them have been following Zhao Min for a long time, but even Zhao Min has never seen them use weapons.When these three weapons were deployed, one could see a cloud of black air and two beams of white light, trapping Zhang Wuji in his heart in a short time.Zhang Wuji didn't bring a weapon and was unarmed, the situation was quite unfavorable, but he was not afraid at all, he wanted to test his own martial arts, whether he could resist the enemy with his bare hands under the siege of these two masters. The two elders, Xuanming and Xuanming, believed that their internal strength was profound, and Xuanming's divine palm was a unique skill in the world, so they would face palms against him as soon as they entered the battle. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wuji's Nine Suns Divine Art was beyond the reach of any internal strength, and he lost after dozens of palms.The weapons of the two of them won with strange moves, their names are derived from the weapons they used, the antler scepter and the crane beak double pen, each move is fierce and fierce, which is rare in the world.Zhang Wuji concentrated all his attention, he moved back and forth between the three weapons, attacking and defending freely, but he couldn't understand the way of the two weapons for a while, winning was not easy.Fortunately, He Biweng was seriously injured, so his moves were inevitably suffocated. Zhao Min tapped three times with the palm of his hand, the white blades were shining brightly in the hall, three people attacked Yang Xiao, four people attacked Wei Yixiao, and the other two sent out weapons to restrain Zhou Zhiruo.Yang Xiao immediately grabbed a sword, swung it like lightning, and stabbed one person with his backhand.Relying on his super light kung fu, Wei Yixiao knocked down the two of them with his icy palm.But the number of enemies is really too many, every time one person is defeated, two people will surround him. Zhang Wuji was entangled by the two elders Xuanming and couldn't help each other.It's not difficult for him and Yang Wei to retreat completely, but it's absolutely impossible to save Zhou Zhiruo. Just as she was anxious, she suddenly heard Zhao Min say: "Everyone stop!" The voice of these four words was not loud, and her men Everyone obeyed in unison, and jumped away immediately. Yang Xiao threw the long sword to the ground.Wei Yixiao held the single knife he had snatched from the enemy, swung it out, and threw it back to the original owner, laughing loudly.Seeing a man holding a dagger against Zhou Zhiruo's back, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but look worried.Zhou Zhiruo said dejectedly: "Mr. Zhang, the three of you, please do as you please. The little girl is very grateful for the kindness from the three of you." Zhao Min smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, I feel pity for Miss Zhou's beauty. She must be your favorite?" Zhang Wuji blushed and said, "Miss Zhou and I have known each other since we were young. We fell in love when we were young. This..." said and pointed to He Biweng, "...'s Xuanming God Palm, the poison penetrates into the body, and it is difficult to move around. Thanks to Miss Zhou for serving me food and drinking water, helping me persuade me, this kindness, Don’t dare to forget.” Zhao Min said: “In this way, you two are childhood friends. You want to marry her as the leader’s wife of the Demon Cult, don’t you?” Zhang Wuji blushed again, and said, “The Huns are still alive. Why do you do it at home!" Zhao Min's face sank, and he said: "You must fight against me to the end, you must destroy me, right?" Zhang Wuji shook his head and said: "I don't know the origin of the girl so far. Although there have been several disputes, every time the girl came to me, Zhang Wuji, and it was not Zhang who came to make trouble with the girl. As long as the girl releases all my teachers Uncle and people from various schools of martial arts, I am very grateful and dare not be hostile to the girl. What's more, the girl gave me the elixir and asked me to do three things for you. I should do my best and never put it off prevaricate." Hearing his sincerity, Zhao Min beamed with joy, like a flower just blooming, and said with a smile, "Hey, at least you haven't forgotten." Turning to look at Zhou Zhiruo, she said to Zhang Wuji, "This Miss Zhou is It's not your favorite person, nor is it a senior brother or sister, or a fiancée, so if I want to ruin her appearance, it has nothing to do with you..." The corners of her eyes moved, and the deer stick guest and the crane pen man raised their swords and stopped Zhou Zhiruo. Another man pointed a sharp knife at Zhou Zhiruo's cheek.If Zhang Wuji wanted to rush over to save someone, it would be difficult for the two elders Xuanming to pass.Zhao Min said coldly: "Young Master Zhang, you'd better tell me the truth." Wei Yixiao suddenly stretched out his palm, spit on the palm a few times, stretched out his hand and wiped the sole of the shoe a few times, laughed loudly, everyone didn't know what he was doing, when suddenly the blue shadow flickered.Zhao Min only felt that a palm was touched on each of his cheeks, and when Wei Yi smiled, he was already standing there, with two short knives in his hand, and I don't know who took them from someone's waist.Zhao Min thought about it, knowing it was not good, so he didn't dare to reach out to touch his cheek, so he hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped it on his face, but he saw that there was a lot of dirt on the handkerchief, which was obviously dirt from Wei Yixiao's soles mixed with saliva , Thinking about it makes me sick. Wei Yi smiled and said: "Miss Zhao, if you want to ruin Miss Zhou's appearance, that's up to you. You are so cruel and merciless, but my surname Wei won't let you go. You drew a scar on Miss Zhou's face today, and your surname is Wei." Repay twice as much, scratch twice. You scratch her twice, I scratch you four. You cut off one finger of hers, and I cut off two of yours." Having said this, he struck with the two short knives in his hand, and then Said: "The surname Wei can say it and do it. The Green Winged Bat King will practice what he says. He has never said a single empty word in his life. You can prevent me for a year or so, but you can't prevent it for ten or eight years. You want to send someone If you kill me, you may not be able to catch up with me. Farewell!" As soon as the word "Le" was uttered, there was no one there, and two short knives flew into the pillar with two bangs.Following two shouts of "Ah!" and "Ah!", the two monks in the hall slowly sat down, the long sword in their hands was taken away by Wei Yixiao somehow, and at the same time, acupuncture points were hit on their bodies. Wei Yixiao said these few words plainly, but everyone knew that they were definitely not empty words and threats. Seeing that Zhao Min's rosy cheeks were covered with black marks on Wei Yixiao's filthy hands, if He held the dagger in his hand first, and Zhao Min's cheek was already damaged.This kind of movement that comes and goes like lightning, like ghosts and ghosts, no matter how strong a master is, he can't guard against him, even Zhang Wuji is ashamed of himself.If he had to travel long distances, Zhang Wuji would be able to win with internal strength, but in the courtyard, corridors and verandahs, he retreated like a god, he was really the only one in the world. Zhang Wuji bowed and said, "Miss Zhao, I offended you today, so I will leave now." He took Yang Xiao's hand, turned around and left the hall, knowing that under Wei Yixiao's powerful intimidation, Zhao Min would not dare to treat Zhou Zhiruo again how. 赵敏瞧着他的背影，又羞又怒，却不下令拦截。 张无忌和杨逍回到客店，韦一笑已在店中相候。张无忌笑道：“韦蝠王，你今口给了他们一个下马威，好叫他们得知明教可不是好惹的。”韦一笑道：“吓吓小姑娘，倒也不是什么难事。她装得凶神恶煞一般，可是听我说要毁她容貌，担保她三天三晚睡不着觉。”杨逍笑道：“她睡不着觉，那可不好，咱们前去救人就更加难了。” 张无忌道：“杨左使，说到救人，你有何妙计？”杨逍踌躇道：“咱们这里只有三人，何况形迹已露，这件事当真棘手。”张无忌歉然道：“我见周姑娘危急，忍不住出手，终于坏了大事。”杨逍道：“事势如此，那是谁都忍不住的。教主独力打败玄冥二老，大杀敌人威风，那也很好。何况他们知道咱们已到，对宋大侠他们便不敢过分无礼。”张无忌想起宋大伯、俞二伯等身在敌手，赵敏对何太冲、唐文亮等又如此折辱，不由得忧心如焚。三人商谈半晌，不得要领，当即分别就奴。
次晨一早，张无忌睡梦中微觉窗上有声，便即醒转，一睁开眼，见窗子缓缓打开，有人探进头来向他凝望。他吃了一惊，揭帐看时，见那人脸上疤痕累累，丑陋可怖，正是那苦头陀。他一惊更甚，从床中跃起，见苦头陀仍呆呆望着自己，并无出手相害之意。张无忌叫道：“杨左使！韦蝠王！”杨韦二人在邻室齐声相应。 他心中一宽，却见苦头陀的脸已从窗边隐去，忙纵身出窗，见苦头陀从大门中匆匆出去。这时杨韦二人也已赶到，见此外并无敌人，三人发足向苦头陀追去。苦头陀等在街角，见三人走来，便转身向北，脚步甚大，却非奔跑。三人打个手势，跟随其后。 此时天方黎明，街上行人稀少，不多时便出北门。苦头陀继续前行，折向小路，又走了七八里，来到一处乱石冈上，这才停步转身，向杨逍和韦一笑摆了摆手，要他二人退开，随即抱拳向张无忌行礼。 张无忌还了一礼，寻思：“这头陀带我们来到此处，不知有何用意？这里四下无人，倘若动武，他以一敌三，显然十分不利，瞧他情状，似乎不含敌意。”盘算未定，苦头陀嗬嗬一声，双爪齐到，扑了上来。他左手虎爪，右手龙爪，十指成钩，攻势猛恶。 张无忌左掌挥出，化开这一招，说道：“上人意欲如何？请先言明，再动手不迟。”苦头陀毫不理会，竟似没听见他说话一般，只见他左手自虎爪变成鹰爪，右手却自龙爪变成虎爪，一攻左肩，一取右腹，出手狠辣。张无忌道：“当真非打不可吗？”苦头陀鹰爪变狮掌，虎爪变鹤嘴，一击一啄，招式又变，三招之间，双手变了六般姿式。 张无忌不敢怠慢，施展太极拳法，身形犹如行云流水，便在乱石冈上跟他斗了起来。但觉这苦头陀的招数甚是繁复，有时大开大阖，门户正大，但倏然之间，又变得诡秘古怪，全为邪派武功，显是正邪兼修，渊博无比。张无忌只以太极拳跟他拆招。斗到七八十招时，苦头陀呼的一拳，中宫直进。张无忌一招“如封似闭”，将他拳力封住，跟着一招“单鞭”，左掌已拍在他背上，这一掌没发内力，手掌一沾即离。 苦头陀知他手下留情，向后跃开，斜眼向张无忌望了半晌，突然向杨逍做个手势，要借他腰间长剑一用。杨逍解下剑绦，连着剑鞘双手托住，送到苦头陀面前。张无忌暗暗奇怪：“怎地杨左使将兵刃借了给敌人？” 苦头陀拔剑出鞘，打个手势，叫张无忌向韦一笑借剑。张无忌摇摇头，接过他左手拿着的剑鞘，使招“请手”，便以剑鞘当剑，左手捏了剑诀，剑鞘横在身前。苦头陀刷的一剑，斜刺而至。张无忌见过他教导赵敏学剑，知他剑术甚是高明，当即施展这数月中在武当山上精的太极剑法，凝神接战。但见对手剑招忽快忽慢，处处暗藏机锋，张无忌一加拆解，他立即撤回，另使新招，几乎没一招是使得到底了的。张无忌心下赞叹：“若在半年前遇到此人，剑法上我不是他敌手。比之那八臂神剑方东白，这苦头陀又高上一筹了。” 他起了爱才之念，不愿在招数上明着取胜。眼见苦头陀长剑挥舞，使出“乱披风”势来，白刃映日，有如万道金蛇乱钻乱窜，他看得分明，蓦地里倒过剑鞘，刷的一声，剑鞘已套上了剑刃，双手环抱一搭，轻轻扣住苦头陀双手手腕，微微一笑，纵身后跃。这时他手上只须略加使劲，便已将长剑夺过。这一招夺剑之法险是险到了极处，巧也巧到了极处，而他手离剑鞘，便是将剑鞘送还给对方。 他纵身后跃，尚未落地，苦头陀已抛下长剑，呼的一掌拍到。张无忌听到风声，心知这一掌真力充沛，非同小可，有意试一试他内力，右掌回转，硬碰硬地接了他这掌，左足这才着地。霎时之间，苦头陀掌上真力源源催至。张无忌运起乾坤大挪移心法中第七层功夫，将他掌力渐渐积蓄，突然间大喝一声，反震出去，便如一座大湖在山洪爆发时储满了洪水，猛地里湖堤崩决，洪水急冲而出，将苦头陀送来的掌力尽数倒回。这是将对方十余掌的力道归并成为一掌拍出，世上原无如此大力。苦头陀倘若受实了，势须立时腕骨、臂骨、肩骨、肋骨齐断，连血也喷不出来，当场血肉模糊，死得惨不可言。 此时双掌相粘，苦头陀万难闪避。张无忌左手抓住他胸口往上抛掷，苦头陀庞大的身躯向空飞起，砰的一声巨响，乱石横飞，这一下威力无俦的掌力，尽数打在乱石堆里。 杨逍和韦一笑在旁看到这等声势，齐声惊呼。他二人只道苦头陀和教主比拼内力，至少也得一盏茶时分方能分出高下，哪料到片刻之间，便到了决生死的关头。二人心中虽有话说，却已不及言讲，待见苦头陀平安无恙地落下，手心中都已捏了一把冷汗。 苦头陀双足一着地，登时双手做火焰飞腾之状，放在胸口，躬身向张无忌拜倒，说道：“属下光明右使范遥，参见教主。谢教主不杀之恩。属下无礼冒犯，还请恕罪。”他十多年来从不开口，说起话来声调已颇不自然。 张无忌又惊又喜，这哑巴苦头陀不但开了口，且更是本教的光明右使，这一着大非始料所及，忙伸手扶起，喜容满面，说道：“原来是本教范右使，当真叫人喜出望外，自家人请勿多礼。” 杨逍和韦一笑跟他到乱石冈来之时，早已料到了三分，只不过范遥的面貌变化实在太大，不敢便即相认，待得见他施展武功，更猜到了七八分，这时听他自报姓名，两人抢上前来，紧紧握住了他手。 杨逍向他脸上凝望半晌，潸然泪下，说道：“兄弟，没想到此生还能再见到你！做哥哥的想得你好苦。”范遥抱住杨逍身子，说道：“大哥，你身体好？这么多年，一点也没老。”杨逍道：“做哥哥的想得你好苦。”范遥欢然道：“大哥，多谢明尊佑护，赐下教主这等能人，你我兄弟终有重会之日。”杨逍奇道：“兄弟怎地变成这等模样？”范遥道：“我若非自毁容貌，怎瞒得过混元霹雳手成昆那奸贼？” 三人一听，才知他是故意毁容，混人敌人身边卧底。杨逍更是伤感，握着他手，舍不得放开，说道：“兄弟，这可苦了你啦！”杨逍、范遥当年江湖上人称“逍遥二仙”，都是英俊潇洒的美男子，范遥竟将自己伤残得如此丑陋不堪，其苦心孤诣、勇决狠劲，实非常人之所能。韦一笑向来和范遥不睦，但这时也不由得深为所感，拜了下去，说道：“范右使，韦一笑到今日才真正服了你！”范遥跪下还拜，笑道：“韦蝠王轻功独步天下，神妙更胜当年，苦头陀昨晚大开眼界。” 杨逍四下张望，说道：“此处离城不远，敌人耳目众多，咱们到前面山坳中说话。”四人奔出十余里，到了一个小冈之后。该处一望数里，不愁有人隐伏偷听，但从远处却瞧不见冈后的情景。四人坐地，说起别来情由。
当年阳顶天突然不知所踪，明教众高手为争教主之位，互不相下，以致四分五裂。范遥劝阻无效，认定教主并未逝世，于是独行江湖，寻访他的下落，忽忽数年，没发现丝毫踪迹。后来想到或许是为丐帮所害，暗中捉了好些丐帮的重要人物拷打逼问，仍查不出半点端倪。其后听到明教诸人纷争，闹得更加厉害，更有人正在到处寻他，要以他为号召。范遥无意去争教主，亦不愿卷人漩涡，便远远躲开，又怕给教中兄弟撞到，于是装上长须，扮作个老年书生，到处漫游。 有一日他在大都闹市上见到一人，认得是阳教主夫人的师兄成昆，不禁暗惊。这时武林中早已到处轰传，不少好手为人所杀，现场总是留下了“杀人者混元霹雳手成昆也”的字样。他想查明此事真相，又想向成昆探询阳教主的下落，于是远远跟着。只见成昆走上一座酒楼，酒楼上有两个人等着，便是玄冥二老。范遥知成昆武功高强，便远远坐着假装喝酒，隐隐约约只听到三言两语，但“须当毁了光明顶”这七个字却听得清清楚楚。范遥得知本敎有难，不能袖手不理，于是暗中跟随，见三人走进了汝阳王府中。后来更查到玄冥二老是汝阳王手下武士中的顶尖人物。 汝阳王察罕特穆尔官居太尉，执掌天下兵马大权，智勇双全，是朝廷中的第一位能人，江淮义军起事，均为他遣兵扑灭。义军屡起屡败，皆因察罕特穆尔统兵有方之故。张无忌等久闻其名，这时听到鹿杖客等是他的手下，虽不惊讶，却也为之一怔。 杨逍问道：“那么那个赵姑娘是谁？” 范遥道：“大哥不妨猜上一猜。”杨逍道：“莫非是察罕特穆尔的女儿？”范遥拍手道：“不错，一猜便中。这汝阳王有一子一女，儿子叫做库库特穆尔，女儿便是这位姑娘了，她的蒙古名叫做什么敏敏特穆尔。库库特穆尔是汝阳王世子，将来是要袭王爵的。那位姑娘的封号是绍敏郡主。这两个孩子都生性好武，倒也学了一身好武功。两人又爱作汉人打扮，说汉人的话，各自取了一个汉名，男的叫做王保保，女的便叫做赵敏。'赵敏'二字，是从她的封号'绍敏郡主'而来。”韦一笑道：“这兄妹二人倒也古怪，一个姓王，一个姓赵，倘若是咱们汉人，那可笑死人了。”范遥道：“其实他们都姓特穆尔，却把名字放在前面，这是番邦蛮俗。那汝阳王察罕特穆尔也有汉姓的，却是姓李。”四人一齐大笑。（按：《新元史》第二百二十卷《察罕帖木儿传》：“察罕帖木儿曾祖阔阔台，祖乃蛮台，父阿鲁温，遂家河南，为颍州沈丘人，改姓李氏。”察罕特穆尔无子，库库特穆尔为其外甥，给他收为义子而作世子。此等小节，小说中不加细辨。） 杨逍道：“这赵姑娘的容貌模样，活脱是个汉人美女，可是只须一瞧她行事，那番邦女子的凶蛮野性，立时便显露了出来。” 张无忌直到此刻，方知赵敏的来历，虽早料想她必是朝廷贵人，却没料到竟是天下兵马大元帅汝阳王的郡主。和她交手数次，每次多多少少地都落了下风，虽然她武功不及自己，但心思机敏、奇变百出，实不是她敌手。 范遥接着说道：“属下暗中继续探听，得知汝阳王以天下动乱，皆因汉人习武者众，群相反叛，决意剿灭江湖上的门派帮会。他采纳了成昆的计谋，第一步便想除灭本教。我仔细思鲎，本教内部纷争不休，外敌却如此之强，灭亡的大祸已迫在眉睫，要图挽救，只有混人王府，查知汝阳王的谋划，那时再相机解救。除此之外，实在别无良策。只是我好生奇怪，成昆既是阳教主夫人的师兄，又是谢狮王的师父，却何以如此狠毒地跟本教作对。其中原由，说什么也想不出来，料想他必是贪图富贵，要灭了本教，为朝廷立功。本教兄弟识得成昆的不多，我以前却曾和他朝过相，他是认得我的，要使我所图不致……：露，只有想法子杀了此人。”韦一笑道：“正该如此。” 范遥道：“可是此人实在狡狯，武功又强，我接连暗算了他三次，都没成功。第三次虽刺中了他一剑，我却也给他劈了一掌，好容易才得脱逃，不致露了形迹，但已身受重伤，养了年余才好。这时汝阳王府中图谋更急，我想倘若乔装改扮，只能瞒得一时，我当年和杨大哥齐名，江湖上知道'逍遥二仙'的人着实不少，日子久了，必定露出马脚，于是一咬牙便毁了自己容貌，扮作个带发头陀，更用药物染了头发，投到了西域花刺子模国去。” 韦一笑奇道：“到花刺子模？万里迢迢的，跟这事又有什么相干？”范遥一笑，正待回答，杨逍拍手道：“此计大妙。韦兄，范兄弟到了花刺子模，找个机缘一显身手，那边的蒙古王公必定收录。汝阳王正在招聘四方武士，花刺子模的王公为讨好汝阳王，定然会送他到王府效力。这么一来，范兄弟成了西域花刺子模国进献的色目武士，他容貌已变，又不开口说话，成昆便有天大本事，也认他不出了。、韦一笑长叹一声，说道：阳教主将逍遥二仙排名在四大法王之上，确是目光了得。这等高明计谋，什么鹰王、蝠王，都是想不出来的。”范遥道：“韦兄，你赞得我也够了。果如杨大哥所料，我在花刺子模杀狮毙虎，颇立威名，当地王公便送我到汝阳王府中。但那成昆其时已不在王府，不知去了何方。” 杨逍当下略述成昆何以和明教结仇、如何偷袭光明顶、如何奸谋为张无忌所破、如何与殷野王比拼掌力而死的经过。 范遥听罢，呆了半响，才知中间原来有这许多曲折，站起身来，恭恭敬敬地对张无忌道：“教主，有一件事属下向你领罪。”张无忌道：“范右使何必过谦。”范遥道：“属下到了汝阳王府，为了坚王爷之信，在大都闹市之中，亲手格毙了本教三名香主，显得本人和明教早就结下深仇。” 张无忌默然，心想：“残杀本教兄弟，乃本教重大禁忌之一，因此杨左使、四法王、五行旗等争夺教主之位，尽管相斗甚烈，却从来不伤本教兄弟的性命。范右使此罪实在不轻，但他主旨是为了护教，非因私仇，按理又不能加罪于他。”说道：“范右使出于护教苦心，虽犯教规，本人不便深责。”范遥躬身道：“谢教主恕罪。”张无忌暗想：“这位范右使行事之辣手，世所罕有。他能在自己脸上砍上十七八刀，那么杀几个教中无辜香主，自也不在他意下。明教给人称作邪教魔教，其来有自，看来须得严令再申三大令、五小令，方能改得了这些魔道邪气。” 范遥见张无忌口中虽说“不便深责”，脸上却有不豫之色，一伸手，拔出杨逍腰间长剑，右手挥出，在自己左臂上重重刺了一剑，登时鲜血喷流。张无忌大吃一惊，夹手抢过他长剑，说道：“范右使，你……你……这是为何？”范遥道：“残杀本教无辜兄弟，乃是重罪。范遥大事未了，不能自尽。先刺一剑，日后再断项上这颗人头。” 张无忌道：“本人已恕了范右使的过失，何苦再又如此？身当大事之际，唯须从权。范右使，此事不必再提。”忙取出金创药，为他敷了伤处，撕下自己衣襟，给他包扎好了，心知此人性烈，别说言语中得罪不得，脸色上也不能使他有半分难堪。他说得出做得到，恐怕日后真的会自刎谢罪，想到他为本教受了这等重大折磨，心中大是感动，突然跪倒，说道：“范右使，你有大功于本教，受我一拜。你再残害自身，便是说我无德无能，不配当此教主大任，我自当立即辞去教主之位。我年幼识浅，处事多错，要请你多多原谅。”范遥、杨逍、韦一笑见教主跪倒，忙一起拜伏在地。 杨逍垂泪道：“范兄弟，你休得再是如此。本教兴衰全系教主一人。教主令旨，你可千万不能违背。”范遥拜道：“属下今日比剑试掌，对教主已死心塌地地拜服。苦头陀性情乖张，还请教主原宥。”张无忌双手扶他起身。此后两人相互知心，再无隔阂。 范遥当下再陈述投入汝阳王府后所见所闻。 那汝阳王察罕特穆尔实有经国用兵的大才，虽握兵权，朝政却受奸相把持，加之当今皇帝昏庸无道，更兼连年南北天灾，弄得天下大乱，民心沸腾，全仗汝阳王征讨攻伐，击溃义军无数。可是此灭彼起，岁无宁日，汝阳王忙于调兵遣将，只得将扑灭江湖上教派帮会之事，暂且搁置不理。 数年之后，他一子一女长大，世子库库特穆尔随父带兵，女儿敏敏特穆尔统率蒙汉西域的武士番僧，向门派帮会大举进击。成昆暗中助她策划，乘着六大派围攻光明顶之际，由赵敏带同大批高手，企图乘机坐收渔人之利，将明教和六大派一鼓剿灭。绿柳山庄中下毒等等情由，便因此而起。当时范遥奉命保护汝阳王，西域之行没能参与，直到后来方始得知。范遥说道，他虽在汝阳王府中毫不露形迹，但因他来自西域，赵敏便不让他参与西域之役，说不定这也是成昆出的主意。 赵敏以西域番僧所献的毒药“十香软筋散”，暗中下在从光明顶归来的六大派高手饮食之中。“十香软筋散”无色无臭，味同清水，混入菜肴之中，绝难分辨得出。这毒药的药性一发作，登时全身筋骨酸软，过得数日后，虽能行动如常，内力却已半点发挥不出，因此六大派远征光明顶的众高手在东还之时，一一分别就擒。只是在对少林派空性所率的第三拨人下毒时给撞破了，真刀真枪地动起手来。空性为阿三所杀，余人不敌赵敏手下众多高手，战死十多人后，尽数遭擒。 此后赵敏便率人进袭中原六大派的根本之地，第一个便挑中了少林派。少林寺防卫严密，要想混入寺中下毒，可大大不易，不比行旅之间，须得在市镇客店中借宿打尖，下毒轻而易举。既不能下毒，便即恃众强攻。 范遥说道：“郡主要对少林寺下手，怕人手不足，又从大都调了一批人去相助，那便由我率领，正好赶上了围擒少林群僧之役。少林派向来对本教无礼，让他们多吃些苦头，正是人心大快。就算将
