Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Ren Huixiang of the Hundred-foot Tower
Fan Yao held Zhao Min's hand and walked out of Wan'an Temple, feeling anxious and strange, but unable to do anything, not knowing where she was going to take him.Zhao Min pulled up the hood on the cloak to cover his beautiful hair, and whispered: "Master Ku, let's go and see that kid Zhang Wuji."
Fan Yao was startled again, and squinted at her, only to see that her eyes were rolling, and her pink cheeks were flushed, but she was seven points shy and three points joyful, and she definitely didn't see through his appearance.He immediately felt at ease, thinking back to the situation when she met the leader in Wan'an Temple last night, how could she look like two life-and-death enemies; when he thought of the word "enemy", his heart suddenly moved: "Enemy? Could it be that the princess is treating my leader There is love in the secret?" Thinking again: "Why did she want me to follow, but didn't call her a more trusted second elder Xuanming? Yes, because I am dumb and will not reveal her secrets." She nodded, He smiled weirdly.
Zhao Min said angrily, "What are you laughing at?" Fan Yao thought that this was not a joke, and made a few gestures gesticulating, meaning that Ku Toutuo should try his best to protect the princess, so he went to the dragon's lake and tiger's den with the princess.
Zhao Min didn't say any more, and led the way first, and soon arrived at the door of the inn where Zhang Wuji was staying.Fan Yao was secretly surprised: "The princess is really powerful, and he found out where the leader is staying so quickly." Followed her into the inn.
Zhao Min said to the shopkeeper: "Let's find a guest officer surnamed Zeng." It turned out that when Zhang Wuji stayed in the shop, he used the pseudonym "Zeng A Niu".The waiter went in to report.Zhang Wuji was meditating and resting his mind, waiting for the fireworks to rise in Wan'an Temple, he went to meet him, when he suddenly heard someone visiting, he felt very strange, when he went to the living room, he saw that the visitors were Zhao Min and Fan Yao, and secretly shouted: "No, it must be Zhao The girl exposed the identity of Fan Youshi, so come to reason with me." She had to step forward and said, "I don't know if Miss Zhao is here, so I'm sorry to welcome you." Zhao Min said: "This is not a place to talk, let's go there How about having three drinks at this small restaurant?" Zhang Wuji could only say, "Very good."
Zhao Min still led the way and came to a small restaurant five shops away from the inn.There are several wooden tables scattered in the inner hall, on which there are tubes of wooden chopsticks.It was late, and there was no one in the shop.
Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji sat opposite each other.Fan Yao gestured that he was going to drink in the outer hall.Zhao Min nodded, and asked the waiter to take a hot pot, cut three catties of raw mutton, and poured two catties of white wine.Zhang Wuji was full of doubts, thinking that she was the honor of the princess, but he and he went to this filthy little restaurant to eat boiled mutton.
Zhao Min poured two glasses of wine, took Zhang Wuji's wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "There is no poison in this wine, you can drink it at ease." Zhang Wuji said: "Young lady invited me here, what can I tell you? "Zhao Min said: "Drink three cups, and then talk about business. I will do it first as a respect."
Zhang Wuji picked up the wine glass, under the charcoal fire of the hot pot, he saw a faint rouge lip mark on the edge of the glass, and smelled a faint fragrance in his nose, he didn't know whether the aroma came from the lip mark on the glass or from her body , With a sway in his heart, he drank the wine.Zhao Min said: "Drink two more glasses. I know you will never trust me. I will take a sip of each glass first."
Zhang Wuji knew that she was full of tricks, so he was indeed on guard against everything, it was rare that she was willing to taste the wine first, so as not to take another risk, but after drinking three cups of the remnants of the wine she had drunk, he couldn't help feeling a little strange, raised his head, I saw her smiling lightly, and the smell of alcohol steamed her pink cheeks, making her even more beautiful.Zhang Wuji didn't dare to look too much, he quickly turned his head away.
Zhao Min whispered: "Mr. Zhang, do you know who I am?" Zhang Wuji shook his head.Zhao Mindao: "I told you today, my father is the Ruyang King who is in charge of the army and horses. I am a Mongolian girl, and my real name is Minmin Temuer. The emperor named me Princess Shaomin." The word Zhao Min' is a Chinese name I chose myself." If Fan Yao hadn't said it in the morning, Zhang Wuji would have been taken aback at this moment, but he was quite surprised to hear that she revealed her identity without any concealment. , except that he was not good at falsehood, and did not pretend to be greatly surprised.
Zhao Minqi said: "What? You already knew?" Zhang Wuji thought that Fan Yao was involved in this matter, so he could only deny it, and said, "No, how would I know? But I see that you are a young girl, but you can command many martial artists A master, his identity must be extraordinary."
Zhao Min fiddled with the wine glass, remained silent for a while, lifted the wine pot and poured two more glasses of wine, and said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, I want to ask you something, please tell me the truth. If I kill your Miss Zhou , how are you doing?"
Zhang Wuji was startled, and said: "Miss Zhou didn't offend you, so why kill her?" Zhao Min said: "I don't like some people, so I just kill them. Do they have to offend me? Some people keep offending me. , but I chose not to kill, for example, you, offending me is not enough?" Speaking of this, his eyes were full of smiles.
Zhang Wuji sighed, and said: "Miss Zhao, I offended you because I had no choice but to save my Third and Sixth Senior Uncles with your gift of medicine. I am always very grateful to you." Zhao Min smiled and said: " You are really stupid. Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting's injuries were all caused by my subordinates. You don't blame me, but thank me instead?" Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "My third uncle has been injured for more than twenty years. You haven't been born yet." Zhao Min said: "These people are my father's subordinates, that is, my subordinates, so what's the difference? Don't divert the conversation, let me ask you: If I kill your Miss Zhou , What do you do to me? Are you going to kill me to avenge her? "
Zhang Wuji pondered for a while, then said, "I don't know."
Zhao Min said: "Why don't you know? You don't want to tell, do you?"
Zhang Wuji said: "My parents were forced to death. The ones who forced my parents to death were those from the Shaolin, Huashan, and Kongtong schools. Later, when I got older, I became more aware of things, but I became less and less aware of them. Understand: Who killed my parents? It shouldn't be Master Kongzhi or Mr. Tieqin; it shouldn't be my grandfather or uncle; even, it shouldn't be your subordinates. Two, people like Ah San, Xuanming and the Elder. There are many reasons why I can't understand. Even if those people are really murderers, what's the use if I kill them one by one? My parents always I can't live anymore. Ms. Zhao, I just thought in my heart these days, wouldn't it be good if everyone didn't kill people, and just be kind and happy friends? My parents died, and I was very sad. I I don't want revenge and murder, and I hope others don't kill anyone." He had thought about these words for a long time, but he didn't tell Yang Xiao, Zhang Sanfeng, or Yin Liting. He said it to Zhao Min, and when he said these words, he felt a little strange.
Hearing his sincerity, Zhao Min thought for a while and said, "That's because you are kind-hearted. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it. If anyone kills my father and brother, I will not only kill him, but also kill him. Relatives and friends, everyone he knows, I will kill them all." Zhang Wuji said: "Then I will definitely stop you."
Zhao Min said: "Why? Did you help my enemy?" Zhang Wuji said: "If you kill a person, you will have more crimes. The person you kill will not know anything after death, so it's fine, but How sad are his parents, children, brothers and wives? When you think about it in the future, your conscience will definitely be disturbed. My adoptive father killed many people, and I know that although he didn’t say it, he was very remorseful in his heart.” Zhao Min Silently, thinking about his words silently.
Zhang Wuji asked: "Have you ever killed anyone?" Zhao Min smiled and said: "Not yet. In the future, when I get older, I will kill many people. My ancestors are Emperor Genghis Khan, Tuolei, Batu, and Xu Liewu." , Kublai Khan, these great heroes. I only hate myself for being a woman. If I were a man, hehe, I would really do a great job.” She poured a glass of wine, drank it herself, and said, “You still haven’t answered my words."
Zhang Wuji said: "If you kill Miss Zhou, or any of my close brothers, I will no longer treat you as a friend, and I will never see you, and even if I do, I will never speak." Zhao Min laughed Said: "Then do you consider me a friend now?" Zhang Wuji said: "If I hate you in my heart, I won't drink with you anymore. Sigh! I just think it's hard to really hate someone. I hate the most in my life. It was Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt hand, but now that he is dead, I feel sorry for him, as if I hoped that he would not die."
Zhao Min said: "If I die tomorrow, what do you think in your heart? You must say in your heart: Thank God, my tricky and vicious enemy is dead, and I will save me a lot of trouble from now on."
Zhang Wuji said loudly: "No, no! I don't expect you to die, I only hope that you are safe and well. King Wei Bat scares you like this, and wants to draw a few knife marks on your face, I am really worried." Zhao Minyan ran With a smile, his face flushed, and he lowered his head.
Zhang Wuji said: "Miss Zhao, don't embarrass us any more, release all the masters of the six major factions, and let us be friends happily, wouldn't it be good?" Zhao Minxi said: "Okay, I was originally I hope this is the case. You are the leader of Mingjiao, and you promise everything. You go and tell them that you want everyone to surrender to the court. When my father plays the Ming Emperor, everyone will be rewarded."
Zhang Wuji shook his head slowly, and said: "We Han people all have a wish, that you Mongols withdraw from the place where the Han people belong." Zhao Min stood up abruptly, and said, "What? You say such words that violate the law, that's not open rebellion Is it?" Zhang Wuji said: "I was originally a rebel, did you not know until now?"
Zhao Min stared at him for a long time, the anger and astonishment on his face gradually subsided, and he gradually looked gentle and disappointed, finally sat down again, and said: "I knew it a long time ago, but I have to listen to you. Ken believes that it is absolutely true, and it is truly irreparable." These few words were actually very miserable.
Zhang Wuji's heart is soft, at this moment he couldn't bear her sadness even more, he almost blurted out: "I will listen to you." But the thought was fleeting, so he immediately controlled his mind, but he couldn't think of it What words to comfort.
The two sat silently facing each other for a while.Zhang Wuji said: "Miss Zhao, it's late at night, I'll take you back." Zhao Min said: "Aren't you willing to sit with me for a while longer?" Zhang Wuji hurriedly said: "No! You like to drink and talk here. I will accompany you." Zhao Min smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Sometimes I think to myself, if I am not a Mongolian, and I am not a princess, but just like Miss Zhou, a Han girl from an ordinary family, Then you might be nicer to me. Mr. Zhang, do you think I am more beautiful, or Miss Zhou is more beautiful?"
Zhang Wuji didn't expect her to ask this question, he thought that after all, Fanbang women are straightforward, open-minded, under the shadow of the lights, but seeing her infinitely beautiful, he couldn't help blurting out: "Naturally you are beautiful!" Zhao Min Overjoyed, he asked, "Aren't you going to lie to me?" Zhang Wuji said, "I thought so in my heart, so I blurted it out. It's too late to lie."
Zhao Min stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the back of his hand, his eyes were full of joy, and said: "Master Zhang, do you like to see me often, if I invite you to drink here from time to time, will you come?"
The back of Zhang Wuji's hand touched her smooth palm, his heart was pounding, he collected himself, and said: "I can't stay here any longer, and I'm going south in a few days." Zhao Min said: "What are you going to do in the south?" ?" Zhang Wuji sighed, and said, "You can guess it even if I don't say it, but if I say it, it will make you angry again..."
Zhao Min looked at the bright moon outside the window, and suddenly said: "You promised me to do three things for me, have you not forgotten?" Zhang Wuji said: "Of course I haven't forgotten. So please tell me immediately, I will Do your best." Zhao Min turned his head, looked straight into his face, and said, "I only think of the first thing right now. I want you to accompany me to get that dragon-slaying knife."
Zhang Wuji had already guessed that it would be extremely difficult for her to do those three things by herself, but he never expected that the first thing would be such a huge problem.Zhao Min saw his embarrassment, and said: "What? Are you unwilling? This matter does not violate the way of chivalry, nor is it impossible for you to do it."
Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "The dragon-slaying knife is in the hands of my adoptive father. It is well known in the world, so there is no need to hide it from her." Then he said: "The dragon-slaying knife belonged to my adoptive father, the golden-haired lion king. How can I betray my adoptive father? Take the knife for you?" Zhao Min said: "I don't want you to steal, rob, kidnap or cheat, and I don't really want this knife. I just want you to borrow it from your adoptive father and play with it for an hour , and return it to him immediately. You are adopted fathers and adopted sons. Could it be that he refuses to borrow an hour from him? Borrowing it to see, neither engulfing him, nor using it to seek wealth and murder, is it also against the principle of chivalry? Got it?" Zhang Wuji said: "Although this knife is very famous, it's actually not worth looking at, it's just that it's heavier and sharper."
Zhao Mindao: "What are you talking about? The Supreme Master of the Martial Arts, use the precious sword to slay the dragon. If you order the world, no one dares not to obey. If Yitian doesn't come out, who will fight for the front?" The Yitian sword is in my hand, I must see what the dragon-slaying sword looks like If you are not at ease, you can stand aside when I look at the knife. With your ability, I will never seize it and refuse to return it."
Zhang Wuji pondered: "After rescuing the masters of the Six Great Sects, I was going to go immediately to meet my adoptive father and ask him to take on the important role of the leader of the sect. Miss Zhao said she borrowed a knife to watch for an hour, although it is difficult to guarantee that she has no tricks, but I am all on my guard, and I forgive her for not taking the sword away. Only my adoptive father once said that there is a great secret of martial arts hidden in the Dragon Slaying Saber. The foster father had obtained the precious sword before his eyes were blind. How can Miss Zhao do anything in just one hour? What's more, I have been separated from my adoptive father for ten years. Maybe he has already penetrated the secret of the precious sword on the isolated island. .”
Seeing that he hesitated to answer, Zhao Min smiled and said, "If you don't want to, that's up to you. I want you to do another thing, but that's much harder."
Zhang Wuji knew that this woman was very resourceful, and if there was another problem, he would never be able to solve it, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, I promise to borrow the Dragon Slaying Saber for you. But let's make it clear first, you can only borrow it for an hour If you intend to take it by force, I will never give up." Zhao Min said with a smile: "Yes. I don't know how to use a knife. Why do you want to come here? You can give it to me respectfully. I don't care too much. What. When are you going to pick it up?" Zhang Wuji said, "I'll go in a few days." Zhao Min said, "That's the best thing. I'll go and pack it up. When are you going to leave, just come and make an appointment with me."
Zhang Wuji was surprised again, and said: "Are you going too?" Zhao Min said: "Of course. I heard that your adoptive father is on an overseas island, very far away. If he refuses to come back, do you have to go all the way to borrow him?" When you get a knife, show it to me for an hour, and then send it thousands of miles away, and then return it all the way back? There is no such reason in the world."
Zhang Wuji thought of the treacherous waves in the North Sea. In the vast ocean, it was very uncertain whether he could find Binghuo Island. If he wanted to go back and forth four times without going wrong, then he was not at all sure. She was right. The adoptive father lived on Binghuo Island for twenty years, and he may not be willing to return to the Middle Earth in his twilight years. He said: "The sea is ruthless, why do you take this risk?" Zhao Min said: "You take the risk, I will Why not?" Zhang Wuji hesitated and said, "Will your father let you go?" Zhao Min said: "My father appointed me to lead all the heroes in the Jianghu. In the past few years, I have traveled from east to west, but my father has never cared about me."
When Zhang Wuji heard the words "Daddy sent me to lead the heroes of the Jianghu", his heart moved: "I went to Binghuo Island to meet my adoptive father. I don't know when and when I will return. If it was her plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, take advantage of my absence. It is necessary to guard against it, but if I go with her, her subordinates will have scruples, and I will avoid my worries." Deep down, I feel faintly that if I can be with her in the wind and waves, Walking together in the vast sea is really a great pleasure.Although there are still many worries, but my heart is throbbing, I nodded and said: "Okay, when I leave, I will come to invite you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly the red light outside the window shone brightly, followed by a loud commotion, faintly heard from a distance.
Zhao Min went to the window to have a look, and said in surprise: "Ah, the pagoda of Wan'an Temple is on fire! Master Ku, Master Ku, come quickly." He called several times, but Ku Toutuo did not show up.She went to the outer hall, but there was no sign of Ku Toutuo. When she asked the shopkeeper, she said that Toutuo left as soon as he arrived, and didn't stay there. He had gone a long time ago.Zhao Min was very surprised, and suddenly thought of his weird smile earlier, couldn't help blushing, and lowered his head to take a sneak peek at Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji saw that the flames were burning hotter and hotter, he was afraid that his grand master and others would be burned to death in the tower before his energy recovered, so he said: "Miss Zhao, please stay with me!"Zhao Min shouted: "Don't wait! I'll go with you." When she ran to the door, Zhang Wuji had already left.
When Lu Zhangke saw that Ku Toutuo was called to go by the princess, he was determined, and immediately carried Han Ji to the room of his disciple Uwang Apu.The pagoda of Wan'an Temple has 13 floors and is 13 feet high. The top three floors are dedicated to Buddha statues, Buddhist scriptures, relics, etc., and cannot be inhabited by people.Uwangapu is the chief manager of the tower. He lives on the tenth floor, which is convenient for looking around and controlling the overall situation. After the deer stick guest entered the room, he said to Uwang Apu, "Look outside the door, don't let anyone in." As soon as Uwang Apu went out, he immediately closed the door, untied the bundle, and let Han Ji go. come out.Seeing that her face was dimmed with horror, and her eyes were full of pleading, the deer sock guest whispered: "You don't have to be afraid when you get here, I will treat you well." Right now, she can't untie her acupuncture points, I'm afraid She said something bad, but her heart was itchy, so she kissed her lips lightly first, to take advantage of it, and then said that even if it fails in the future, she has already kissed the beauty. He put Han Ji on Uwang Apu's bed, pulled the quilt over her body, took another quilt, wrapped it in the bag, and put it aside.The place where Han Ji was was a place of right and wrong, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he left the room in a hurry, and told Uwang Apu not to enter the room, nor to let others in.He knew that this big disciple respected and feared him, and he would never dare to disobey him even a little bit, so he made up his mind: "Kututuo really needs to keep this matter a secret, and he has to sell him a big favor, so he has to let his old lover go first. And the illegitimate daughter. It just so happened that the leader of the Demon Cult made such a fuss last night, and the incident started from the girl surnamed Zhou. As long as it is the leader of the Demon Cult who rescued the old nun and Miss Zhou, it will be seamless , the princess is no longer suspicious. This little devil is so powerful in martial arts, the princess can't blame us for the guard's negligence." A group of female disciples of the Emei Sect were all imprisoned on the seventh floor, Miejue Shitai was the head of the sect, and was imprisoned alone in a small room.Lu Zhangke ordered the guards to open the door and enter, only to see Master Miejue sitting cross-legged on the ground, meditating with eyes closed.She has been on a hunger strike for several days, although her face is haggard, she looks even more arrogant and powerful. Lu Zhangke said: "Master Miejue, hello!" Miejue Shitai slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's not good here, what's so good?" Lu Zhangke said: "You are so stubborn, master It's useless to keep it, so let me send you to heaven." Miejue Shitai decided to die early, and said: "Excellent, but I don't bother you to do it, please borrow a dagger, and I will finish it myself. Please also Your Excellency called my disciple Zhou Zhiruo here, and I have a few words to tell her." Lu Zhangke turned around and left the room, ordered someone to take Zhou Zhiruo, thinking: "Her mother-daughter relationship is really different, otherwise why didn't you call her goodbye?" My big disciple, just call her." Not long after Zhou Zhiruo came to the master's room, Juejue Shitai said: "Mr. Lu, please wait outside the room, I just need to say a few words." Lu Zhanke nodded, walked out of the room, and stood guard outside the door.After waiting for a while, he suddenly wanted to eavesdrop on the secrets that the mother and daughter were talking about, so he used his internal strength and bent his ears to the door.But he could hear murmurs, one person's voice was extremely low and deep, it seemed that Miejue Shitai was talking, and he listened intently for a long time, but he couldn't hear a word.After a while, I heard Zhou Zhiruo say "ah", and said, "Master, this disciple is young, and he hasn't started for a long time... You old man will surely be able to get out of trouble..." Lu Zhangke was surprised: "Why did she call my mother 'Master'? Don't call her 'mother', doesn't she know that she is the illegitimate daughter of old nun Juejue?" Then Zhou Zhiruo kept refusing: "I really can't, I can't do it, I can't..." Master Miejue said sharply: "If you don't listen to my instructions, you will be deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors." A dodge, a strict order, back and forth, talked for a long time.Lu Zhangke couldn't hear what Master Miejue asked his daughter to agree to, and what Zhou Zhiruo refused, but Zhou Zhiruo whimpered and cried for a while.At this time, Lu Zhangke got impatient with waiting, and knocked on the door: "Hey, have you finished talking? There will be a long time to talk in the future, so don't rush to talk at this time." Miejue Shitai was very irritable, and shouted in a rough voice: "You are talking What?" Luzhangke didn't want to offend her mother and daughter and make Ku Toutuo unhappy, so he said: "Okay, okay! I won't come here to talk about it, you and your mother can talk slowly." Juejueshi said angrily: "No fish or fish! We It's two masters and apprentices, what 'mother and two'?" Lu Zhangke apologized with a smile: "Yes, yes!" After waiting for a while, thinking about Han Ji in his heart, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurried up to the tenth floor Outside Uwang Apu's room. After a while, Miejue Shitai had explained to Zhou Zhiruo the important affairs of the sect, only to hear someone knocking on the door again.Miejue Shitai thought: "It's too late to teach the exercises today." He said loudly: "Come in!" The board door opened, but it was Ku Toutuo who came in instead of Luzhangke.Miejue Shitai didn't think it was different, she thought that these people were all the same, no matter who came, she said, "You take this child out." She didn't want to commit suicide in front of Zhou Zhiruo, lest she could bear it. live. Ku Toutuo approached him and said in a low voice: "This is the antidote, take it quickly. You will hear the screams from outside later, everyone will fight together." Miejue Shitai asked: "Who is your Excellency? Why did you give it to me?" The antidote for me?" Ku Toutuo said: "I am Fan Yao, the bright right envoy of the Ming Sect, who stole the antidote and came here to save the master." Miejue Shitai said angrily: "The traitor of the devil sect! He has come to tease Yu at this moment. Me." Fan Yao said with a smile, "Okay! Even if I am teasing you, this is poison with poison added to poison, do you have the guts to take it? Once the medicine enters your stomach, your stomach and intestines will be broken every hour, and you will die a miserable death Impossible." Miejue Shitai didn't say a word, took the powder in his hand, opened his mouth and swallowed it. Zhou Zhiruo exclaimed in shock: "Master...Master..." Fan Yao stretched out his other palm and shouted, "Don't make a sound, you have also taken this poison." Zhou Zhiruo was startled, Fan Yao pinched her cheek and poured the powder In the entrance, he picked up a bottle of clear water and poured her a few mouthfuls, and the medicine powder fell down her throat. Miejue Shi was too shocked, thinking that if Zhou Zhiruo died, all his painstaking efforts would be in vain, so he threw himself on Fan Yao recklessly and swung his palm at Fan Yao.But at this moment, her skill has not recovered, this palm movement is fine, but it has no strength, and Fan Yao just gave it a light push, and it hit the wall. Fan Yao laughed and said, "The monks of Shaolin and the heroes of Wudang have all taken my poison. Whether my teaching is good or bad, you will know after a while." He laughed and turned around to leave the room, closing the door behind his back .
It turned out that when Fan Yao escorted Zhao Min to meet Zhang Wuji, he only cared about getting the antidote.Zhao Min ordered him to meet him in the outer hall of the small restaurant, he immediately left the shop, rushed back to Wan'an Temple, entered the tower, and walked outside Uwang Apu's house on the tenth floor. Uwang Apu was standing outside the door, and when he saw him, he called out respectfully: "Master Ku." Fan Yao nodded and smiled inwardly: "Okay, Lao Er Lu is disrespectful to his teacher. He hides in the room by himself, having a good time with the prince's Ai Ji, but asks his apprentice to watch outside the door. Riding on this old man When he was in the middle of the sky, he concealed himself and went in, just to snatch his antidote." So he hunched over, walked past Wuwang Apu, and suddenly pointed with his backhand, hitting the acupuncture point on his lower abdomen.Not to mention that Uwang Apu was not on guard, even if he was on full alert, he couldn't avoid this finger.As soon as he hit the acupuncture point, he was stunned and unable to move, he felt very strange, he somehow offended this dumb Tutuo, could it be that the "Master Suffering" just now was not respectful enough? Fan Yao pushed open the door, and jumped on the bed as fast as lightning. Before his feet landed, he hit the person on the bed with his palm.He knew very well that Luzhangke's martial art skills are very good, if this palm can't seriously injure him, then it will be a life-and-death struggle where it is difficult to determine the outcome, so he exerted 100% of his strength in this palm.There was only a bang, and the quilt was broken, and the cotton wool was blown away. When the quilt was lifted to look, Han Ji's mouth and nose were bleeding. With a thought in his mind, Fan Yao turned around and left the room, brought Uwang Apra in, added another finger, and stuffed him under the bed.As soon as he closed the door, he heard Lu Zhangke shouting angrily outside the door: "Apu, Apu, how dare you walk away without authorization?" It turned out that the deer stick guest was impatient with exterminating the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and he didn't know how long it would be before he came back to Wuwang Apu's room. , Pushing open the door, fortunately nothing unusual, Han Ji is still facing the inner bed, covered with a quilt. The deer sticker picked up the latch, bolted the door first, turned around and said with a smile, "Beauty, I will untie the acupoints for you, but you are not allowed to speak." Touching Han Ji's back, there was a sudden tightening of his wrist, and five fingers like iron pincers had firmly clasped his veins.At this moment, all the strength in his body lost, and he couldn't use any strength, only to see the quilt was lifted, and a long-haired Toutuo came out, it was Ku Toutuo. Fan Yao clasped Luzhangke's pulse gate with his right hand, moved his fingers like the wind with his left hand, and tapped nineteen major acupoints all over his body.Luzhangke suddenly collapsed on the ground, unable to move any more, Fan Yao pointed at him in his eyes and said, "I don't change my surname when I walk, and I don't change my name when I sit. Mingjiao is the bright right, and the surname is Fan and Mingyao. Today you Being conspired against by me, you are in vain of your conceit and wit. You are actually extremely stupid and useless. If I kill you at this moment, it will not be done by a hero, and I will spare your life. If you have the guts, just come to me in the future, Fan Yao revenge." Still not satisfied, he took off Lu Zhangke's entire clothes, stripped him naked, and lay down next to Han Ji's body, then pulled the quilt over the dead and alive two people.Then he took the antler staff, unscrewed the antlers, poured out all the antidote, and then went to each cell one by one, and distributed them to Master Kongwen, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou and others.It took a lot of time to wait for the antidote to be delivered one by one, and some words and explanations were not free in the middle.Finally, when I came to Miejue Shitai's room, seeing that she didn't believe it was the antidote, I simply frightened her and said it was poison.Fan Yao hated her for handicapping many brothers of this sect, so he was very happy to be able to insult her a few words. After distributing the antidote, he was complacent when he suddenly heard the commotion of people under the pagoda, among which He Biweng's voice was the loudest: "This Ku Toutuo is a spy, take him down quickly!" Fan Yao secretly cried out: "Damn it!" Oh, no, who is going to rescue this guy?" Looking down the tower, he saw He Biweng led a large number of warriors, and surrounded the tower.When Ku Toutuo poked his head, Sun Sanhui and Li Sicui fired both arrows and cursed: "The villain Tutuo has caused people such misery!" He Biweng and the other three were hit on their acupoints, so they couldn't escape for a while. The three of them hid in the Luzhang guest room, and no one else dared to enter rashly.Unexpectedly, all the warriors sent by Ruyang Prince's Mansion searched everywhere in Wan'an Temple, but there was no trace of Prince Ai Ji, and some people thought of Lu Zhangke's lustful and greedy temperament in his life.But all the warriors have always been afraid of him, although they suspect that the disappearance of Prince Ai Ji is related to him, but who dares to break ground on Tai Sui?After suffering for a long time, Chief Ha, who led all the warriors, had a plan and ordered a soldier to knock on the door of the deer stick guest. The deer stick guest had a very high status. If you kill this little soldier, it's insignificant.The soldier knocked on the door several times, but no one answered in the room. Mr. Ha gritted his teeth, and ordered the soldiers to just push the door and go in to have a look.Looking at it, he saw He Biweng, Sun Sanhui and Li Siqi lying on the ground.At that time, Crane Biweng was lucky enough to rush to the acupoint, and he had already opened 30% to 40% of the acupoint. Mr. Ha released the acupoint for him, and immediately he could move freely.Crane Biweng was furious, and asked about the whereabouts of Luzhangke and Ku Toutuo, and when he learned that they had arrived in the tower, he unlocked the acupoints of Sun Sanhui and Li Siqi, led all the warriors to surround the tower, and shouted loudly for Ku Toutuo to come down. Fight to the death. Fan Yao was secretly startled: "A fight to the death is a fight to the death. The Fan surname is afraid that you will fail? It's just that those smelly monks and old nuns haven't taken the antidote for a long time, and their skills can't be recovered in a short time. This crane penman has heard me Talking to Lu Zhangke, even if I kill Lao Er Lu, I can't silence it, so what should I do?" At a moment's hesitation, I heard Crane Biweng shout: "Si Toutuo, if you don't come down, I will come up!" Fan Yao turned around and wrapped Lu Zhangke and Han Ji together in the quilt, returned to the side of the pagoda, lifted them up high, and shouted: "Old He, as long as you take a step closer to the pagoda gate, I will send you to the pagoda." The deer fell down." The torches held high in the hands of the warriors shone like daylight in all directions, but the pagoda was too high for the light of the torches to go up, but the faces of Luzhangke and Han Ji could still be seen vaguely. Crane Biweng was shocked, and shouted: "Senior brother, senior brother, are you okay?" He kept calling several times, but he didn't hear Luzhangke's answer, and only said that he had been killed by Ku Toutuo. : "Zei Toutuo, you killed my senior brother, I am at odds with you." Fan Yao unlocked Lu Zhangke's dumb acupoint.Lu Zhangke immediately yelled: "Tie Toutuo, you are a foreign agent here, and killed you with thousands of cuts..." Fan Yaorong cursed a few words, and then hit his dumb acupoint.He Biweng saw that his senior brother was not dead, he felt at ease, he was afraid that Ku Toutuo would really throw his senior brother off, so he didn't dare to approach the pagoda gate. After such a stalemate for a long time, He Biweng never dared to come up to rescue his senior brother.Fan Yao only hoped to procrastinate as much as possible, just a moment longer. He stood by the railing, laughed loudly, and shouted, "Old man He, your senior brother is so daring that you stole the prince's concubine." I was the one who caught the traitor and caught both of them. Do you still want to protect the senior brother? My lord, quickly take this old man down. His two senior brothers rebelled and rebelled, and the crime will not be punished. You took it down He, the prince will definitely reward you heavily." Manager Ha squinted at He Biweng, wanting to make a move, but dared not.He saw Ku Toutuo speak suddenly, although he felt strange, but he clearly saw Lu Zhangke and Han Ji wrapped in a quilt, not to mention that his ancestors are the first in his heart, he had already believed 90% of it.He shouted loudly: "Master Ku, please come down, let's go to the prince to distinguish right from wrong. The three of you are seniors and masters, and no villain will dare to offend anyone." Fan Yao was full of guts, and he wanted to go to the palace together to meet the lord, and when he could distinguish right from wrong, and the poison in the bodies of the heroes on the tower had been cured, he immediately shouted: "Wonderful, wonderful! I'm about to accept the reward from the lord .My lord, take care of this old man He, and don’t let him escape by chance.” At this moment, the sound of horseshoes was heard, and the horse rushed to the temple and rushed straight to the high tower. All the warriors bowed and saluted, and shouted: "Little prince!" The golden crown on this man's head was shining brightly, he was straddling a tall white horse, and he was wearing a brocade robe. He belonged to Kukutmu'er, the eldest son of King Ruyang, named Wang Baobao in Han Dynasty. Wang Baobao asked sharply, "Where is Han Ji? My father is furious and wants me to come and check it out myself." Director Ha stepped forward to report, and said that Han Ji was stolen by Lu Zhangke, and now Ku Toutuo has captured her.Crane Biweng said anxiously: "Little prince, don't listen to his nonsense. This Tutuo is a spy, he framed my elder brother..." Wang Baobao raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Come down and talk!" Fan Yao has been in the palace for a long time, knowing that Wang Baobao is shrewd and capable, and he is not under his father. His tricks can be hidden from others, but he cannot be hidden from him. When he steps down from the high tower, he is afraid that the little prince will see through his flaws in a few words and order everyone The samurai besieged, a crane penman alone is not aggressive, if he escapes by himself or does not embarrass him, the heroes in the tower will not be able to save him, he said loudly: "Little prince, I have captured the deer stick man, his younger brother hates me to the bone , as long as I come down, he will kill me immediately." Wang Baobao said: "Come down quickly, Mr. He can't kill you." Fan Yao shook his head, and said loudly: "I'd better stay on the pagoda to be safer. Little prince, I have been silent all my life, and today I have no choice but to speak. It’s all because of my loyalty to the lord. If you don’t believe me, I, Ku Toutuo, have no choice but to jump off the tower and hit my head to death for you to see.” Wang Baobao heard that his words were incomplete and untrue, most of them were nonsense, and he deliberately delayed, so he asked Mr. Ha in a low voice: "What is his plan? He wants to delay on purpose. Is he waiting for someone to come?" Mr. Ha said: "The villain I don't know..." Crane Biweng rushed to say: "My lord, this bandit Toutuo robbed my elder brother of the antidote to rescue all the rebels imprisoned in the tower." Wang Baobao suddenly realized, and shouted: "Master Ku , I understand your contribution, come down quickly, I will reward you a lot." 范遥道：“我给鹿杖客踢了两脚，腿骨都快断了，这会儿全然动弹不得。小王爷，请你稍待片刻，我运气疗伤，当即下来。”王保保喝道：“哈总管，你快派人上去，背负苦大师下塔。”范遥大叫：“使不得，使不得，谁一移动我身子，我两条腿就废了。” 王保保此时更无怀疑，眼见韩姬和鹿杖客双双裹在一条棉被之中，就算两人并无苟且，父王也不能再要这姬人，低声道：“哈总管，举火烧了宝塔。派人用强弓射住，不论是谁从塔上跳下，一概射杀。”哈总管答应了，传下令去，登时弓箭手弯弓搭箭，团团围住高塔，有些武士便去取火种柴草。 鹤笔翁大惊，叫道：“小王爷，我师哥在上面啊。”王保保冷冷地道：“这头陀不能在上面等一辈子，塔下一举火，他自会下来。”鹤笔翁叫道：“他若将我师哥摔将下来，那可怎么办？小王爷，这火不能放。”王保保哼了一声，不去理他。 片刻之间，众武士已取过柴草火种，在塔下点起火来。 鹤笔翁是武林中大有身份之人，受汝阳王礼聘入府，向来甚受敬重，不料今日连中苦头陀的奸计不算，连小王爷也不以礼相待，眼见师兄危在顷刻，这时也不理他什么小王爷大王爷，提起鹤嘴双笔，纵身而上，挑向两名正在点火的武士，机卩八两响，两名武士远远摔开。 王保保大怒，喝道：“鹤先生，你也要犯上作乱么？”鹤笔翁道：“你别叫人放火，我自不会来阻挡。”王保保喝道：“点火！”左手一挥，他身后蹿出五名红衣番僧，从众武士手中接过火把，向塔下的柴草掷了过去。柴草一遇火焰，登时便燃起熊熊烈火。鹤笔翁大急，从一名武士手中抢过一根长矛，扑打着火的柴草。 王保保喝道：“拿下了！”那五名红衣番僧各持戒刀，登时将鹤笔翁围住。 鹤笔翁怒极，抛下长矛，伸手便来拿左首一名番僧手中的兵刃。这番僧并非庸手，戒刀翻转，反剁他肩头。鹤笔翁待得避开，身后金刃劈风，又有两柄戒刀同时砍到。 王保保手下共有十八名武功了得的番僧，号称“十八金刚”，分为五刀、五剑、四杖、四钹。这五僧乃“五刀金刚”，单打独斗跟鹤笔翁的武功都差得远了，但五刀金刚联手，攻守相助，鹤笔翁武功虽高，但早一日给张无忌击得受伤呕血，内力大损，何况眼见火势上腾，师兄处境极为危险，不免沉不住气，一时难以取胜。 王保保手下众武士加柴点火，火头烧得更加旺了。这宝塔有砖有木，在这大火焚烧之下，底下数层便毕毕剥剥地烧了起来。 范遥抛下鹿杖客，冲到囚禁武当诸侠的室中，叫道：“鞑子在烧塔了，各位内力是否已复？”只见宋远桥、俞莲舟等人各自盘坐用功，凝神专志，谁也没答话，显然到了回复功力的紧要关头。看守诸侠的武士有几名抢来干预，都让范遥抓将起来，一个个掷出塔外，活活摔死。其余的冒火突烟，逃了下去。 过不多时，火焰已烧到了第四层，囚禁在这层中的华山派诸人不及等功力恢复，狼狈万状地逃上第五层。火焰毫不停留地上腾，跟着第五层中的崆峒派诸人也逃了上去。有的奔走稍慢，连衣服须发都烧着了。 范遥正束手无策，忽听得一人叫道：“范右使，接住了！”正是韦一笑的声音。范遥大喜，往声音来处瞧去，只见韦一笑站在万安寺后殿的殿顶，抖手将一条长绳抛了过来，范遥伸手接住。韦一笑叫道：“你缚在栏杆上，便是一道绳桥。”范遥刚缚好绳子，神箭八雄中的赵一伤嗖的一箭，便将绳子从中射断。范遥和韦一笑同声破口大骂。 韦一笑骂道：“射你个奶奶。哪一个不抛下弓箭，老子先宰了他。”一面骂，一面抽出长剑，纵身下地。他双足刚着地，五名青袍番僧立时仗剑围上，却是王保保手下十八番僧中的“五剑金刚”，五人手中长剑闪烁，剑招诡异，和韦一笑斗在一起。 鹤笔翁挥动鹤嘴笔苦战，高声叫道：“小王爷，你再不下令救火，我可要对你不客气了。”王保保哪去理他。四名手执禅杖的番僧分立小王爷四周，以防有人偷袭。鹤笔翁焦躁起来，双笔突使一招“横扫千军”，将身前三名番僧逼开两步，提气急奔，冲到了塔旁。五名番僧随后追到。鹤笔翁双足一登，上了宝塔第一层的屋檐。五名番僧见火势烧得正旺，便不追上。 鹤笔翁一层层地上跃，待得登上第四层屋檐时，范遥从第七层上探头出来，高举鹿杖客的身子，大声叫道：“鹤老儿，快给我停步！你再动一步，我便将鹿老儿摔成鹿肉浆。”鹤笔翁果然不敢再动，叫道：“苦大师，我师兄弟跟你往日无怨，近日无仇，你何苦如此跟我们为难？你要救你的老情人灭绝师太，要救你女儿周姑娘，尽管去救便是，我决不来阻拦。” 灭绝师太服了苦头陀给她的解药后，只道真是毒药，自己必死，只是周芷若竟也给灌了毒药，毕生指望尽化泡影，心中如何不苦？正自伤心，忽听得塔下喧哗之声大作，跟着苦头陀和鹤笔翁斗口、王保保下令纵火等情形，一一听得清楚。她心下奇怪：“莫非这鬼模样的头陀当真是救我来着？”试一运气，立时便觉丹田中一股暖意升将上来，和自中毒以来的情形大不相同。 她不肯听赵敏之令出去殿上比武，已自行绝食了六七日，胃中早已空空如也，解药人肚，迅速化入血液，药力行开，比谁都快。加之她内力深厚，犹在宋远桥、俞莲舟、何太冲诸人之上，仅比少林派掌门空闻方丈稍逊，十香软筋散的毒性遇到解药后渐渐消退，她一经运气，内力登时生出，不到半个时辰，内功已复了五六成。她正加紧运功，忽听得鹤笔翁在外高声大叫，字字如利箭般钻入耳中：“……你要救你的老情人灭绝师太，要救你女儿周姑娘，尽管去救便是，我决不来阻拦。” 这什么“老情人”云云，叫她听了如何不怒？大踏步走到栏杆之旁，怒声喝道：“你满嘴胡说八道，不清不白地说些什么？”鹤笔翁求道：“老师太，你快劝劝你老……老朋友，先放我师兄下来。我担保你一家三口，平安离开。玄冥二老说一是一，说二是二，决不致言而无信。”灭绝师太怒道：“什么一家三口？” 范遥虽身处危境，还是呵呵大笑，甚是得意，说道：“老师太，这老儿说我是你的旧情人，那个周姑娘嘛，是我和你两个的私生女儿。” 灭绝师太怒容满面，在时明时暗的火光照耀之下，看来极是可怖，沉声喝道：“鹤老儿，你上来，我跟你拼上一百掌再说。”若在平时，鹤笔翁说上来便上来，何惧于一个峨嵋掌门，但此刻师兄落在别人手中，不敢蛮来，叫道：“苦头陀，那是你自己说的，可不是我信口开河。”灭绝师太双目瞪着范遥，厉声问道：“这是你说的么？” 范遥哈哈一笑，正要乘机挖苦她几句，忽听得塔下喊声大作，往下望时，只见火光中一条人影如穿花蝴蝶般迅速飞舞，在人丛中穿插来去，呛啷啷、呛啷啷之声不绝，众番僧、众武士手中兵刃纷纷落地，正是教主张无忌到了。
张无忌这一出手，围攻韦一笑的五名持剑番僧五剑齐飞。韦一笑大喜，闪身抢到他身旁，低声道：“我到汝阳王府去放火。”张无忌点了点头，已明白他用意。自己这里只寥寥数人，要是急切间救不出六大派群豪，对方援兵定然越来越多，青翼蝠王到汝阳王府去放火，众武士必定保护王爷要紧，实是个绝妙的调虎离山、釜底抽薪之计。 只见韦一笑一条青色人影一晃，已自掠过高墙。张无忌看了周遭情势，朗声问道：“范右使，怎么了？”范遥叫道：“糟糕之极！烧断了出路，一个也没能逃得出。” 此时王保保手下的十八番僧中，倒有十四人攻到了张无忌身畔。张无忌心想擒贼先擒王，只须擒住了那头戴金冠的鞑子王公，便能要挟他下令救火放人，于是身形一侧，从众番僧之间蹿过，犹似游鱼破水，直欺到王保保身前。 蓦地里左首一剑刺到，寒气逼人，剑尖直指胸口。张无忌急退一步，只听得一个女子声音说道：“张公子，这是家兄，你莫伤他。”但见她手中长剑颤动，婀娜而立。刃寒胜水，剑是倚天，貌美如花，人是赵敏。她急跟张无忌而来，只不过迟了片刻。 张无忌道：“你快下令救火放人，否则我可要对不起两位了。”赵敏叫道：“十八金刚，此人武功了得，结金刚阵挡住了。”那十八番僧适才吃过张无忌苦头，不须郡主言语点明，早知他的厉害，只听得当的一声大响，“四钹金刚”手中的八面大铜钹齐声敲击，十八名番僧来回游走，挡在王保保和赵敏的身前，将张无忌隔开了。 张无忌一瞥之下，见十八名番僧盘旋游走，步法诡异，十八人组成一道人墙，看来其中还蕴藏着不少变化。他忍不住便想冲一冲这座金刚阵，但就在此时，砰的一声大响，高塔上倒了一条大柱下来。 一回头，只见火焰已烧到了第七层上。血红的火舌缭绕之中，两人拳掌交加，斗得极是激烈，正是灭绝师太和鹤笔翁。第十层的栏杆之旁倚满了人，都是少林、武当各派人物，这干人武功尚未全复，何况高塔第十层离地十丈，纵有绝顶轻功而内力又丝毫未失，跳下来也非活活摔死不可。 张无忌一个念头在脑海中飞快地转了几转：“此金刚阵非片刻间所能破，何况击败众番僧，又有别的好手上来，要擒赵姑娘的哥哥，大是不易。灭绝师太和这鹤笔翁斗了这些时刻，始终……曾落败，看来她功力已复，那么大师伯等人的内力该当也已恢复，只宝塔太高，没法跃下来而已。” 他一动念间，突然满场游走，双手忽打忽拿、忽拍忽夺，将神箭八雄尽数击倒，此外众武士凡手持弓箭的，都给他或断弓箭，或点穴道，眼看高塔近旁已无弯弓搭箭的好手，纵声叫道：“塔上各位前辈，请逐一跳下来，在下在这里接着！” 塔上诸人听了都是一怔，心想此处高达十余丈，跳下去力道何等巨大，你便有千斤之力也没法接住。崆峒、昆仑各派中便有人嚷道：“千万跳不得，莫上这小子的当！他要骗咱们摔得粉身碎骨。” 张无忌见烟火弥漫，已烧近众高手身边，众人若再不跳，势必尽数葬身火窟，提声叫道：“俞二伯，你待我恩重如山，难道小侄会存心害你吗？请你先跳吧！” 俞莲舟对张无忌素来信得过，虽料想他武功再强，也决计接不住自己，但想与其给活活烧死，还不如活活摔死，叫道：“好！我跳下来啦！”纵身跃起，从高塔上跳落。 张无忌看得分明，待他身子离地约有五尺之时，挺掌轻轻拍出，正拍在他腰里。这一掌中所运，正是乾坤大挪移的绝顶武功，吞吐控纵之间，已将他自上向下的一股巨力拨为自左至右。 俞莲舟身上受力不重，向横里直飞出去，一摔数丈，此时他功力已恢复了七八成，一个回旋，已稳稳站在地下，顺手出掌，将一名蒙古武士打得口喷鲜血。他大声叫道：“大师哥、四师弟！你们都跳下来吧！” 塔上众人见俞莲舟居然安好无恙，齐声欢呼。 宋远桥爱子情深，要他先脱险地，说道：“青书，你跳下去！”宋青书自出囚室后，一直站在周芷若身旁，说道：“周姑娘，你快跳。”周芷若功力未复，不能去相助师父，却不肯自行逃生，听宋青书这么说，摇了摇头，道：“我等师父！” 这时何太冲、班淑娴等已先后跳下，都由张无忌施展乾坤大挪移神功出掌拍击，自直堕改为横摔，一一脱险。这干人功力虽未全复，但只须回复得五六成，已是众番僧、众武士所难抵挡。俞莲舟等顷刻间夺得兵刃，护在张无忌身周。王保保和赵敏的手下欲上前阻挠，均为俞莲舟、何太冲、班淑娴等人挡住。塔上每跃下一人，张无忌便多了一个帮手。那些人自遭赵敏囚入高塔之后，人人受尽了屈辱，也不知有多少人给割去了手指，此时得脱牢笼，个个含愤拼命，霎时间已有二十余名武士尸横就地。 王保保见情势不佳，传令：“调我飞弩亲兵队来！” 哈总管正要去传小王爷号令，突然间只见东南角上火光冲天。他大吃一惊，叫道：“小王爷，王府失火！咱们快去保护王爷要紧。” 王保保关怀父亲安危，顾不得擒杀叛贼，忙道：“妹子，我先回府，你诸多小心！”不等赵敏答应，掉转马头，直冲出去。王保保这一走，十八金刚一齐跟去，王府武士也去了一大半。余下众武士见王府失火，谁也没想到只韦一笑一人捣鬼，还道大批叛贼进攻王府，无不惊惶。 其时宋青书、宋远桥、张松溪、莫声谷等都已跃下高塔，双方强弱之势大大逆转，待得空闻方丈、空智大师，以及少林派达摩堂、罗汉堂众高僧分别跃下后，赵敏手下的武士已无可抗御。 赵敏心想此时若再不走，自己反要成为他的俘虏，当即下令：“各人退出万安寺。”转头向张无忌叫道：“明日黄昏，我再请你饮酒，务请驾临。”张无忌一怔之间，尚未答应，赵敏嫣然一笑，已退入了万安寺后殿。 只听得范遥在塔顶大叫：“周姑娘，快跳下，火烧眉毛啦！你再不跳，难道想做焦炭美人么？”周芷若道：“我陪着师父！” 灭绝师太和鹤笔翁剧斗一阵，烟火上腾，便跃上一层，终于斗上了第十层的屋角。她功力尚未全复，但此时早已将生死置之度外，掌法中只攻不守。鹤笔翁一来挂念着师兄的安危，心有二用，二来前伤未愈，三来适才中了麻药，穴道又遭封闭良久，手脚究也不十分灵便，两人竟斗了个不分上下。灭绝师太听到徒儿的说话，叫道：“芷若，你快跳下去，别来管我！这贼老儿辱我太甚，非杀了他不可！” 鹤笔翁暗暗叫苦：“这老尼全是拼命打法，我救师兄要紧，难道跟她在这火窟中同归于尽不成？”大声道：“灭绝师太，这话是苦头陀说的，跟我可不相干。” 灭绝师太撤掌回身，问范遥道：“兀那头陀，这等疯话町是你说的？”范遥嬉皮笑脸地道：“什么疯话？”这一句话，明摆着要灭绝师太亲口重复一遍：“他说我是你的老情人，周芷若是我跟你生的私生女儿。”她听了范遥这句话，已知鹤笔翁之言不假，只气得全身发颤，虽然此时早明白范遥确是救了自己，但仍容他不得。 鹤笔翁见灭绝师太背向自己，突然一阵黑烟卷到，正是偷袭良机，烟雾之中，双掌击向灭绝师太背心。周芷若和范遥看得分明，齐声叫道：“师父小心！”“老尼姑小心！”灭绝师太回掌反击，却已挡不了鹤笔翁的阴阳双掌，左掌和他的左掌相抵，鹤笔翁右手所发的玄冥神掌终于击中她背心。那玄冥神掌何等厉害，当年在武当山上，甚至和张三丰都对得一掌，灭绝师太身子一晃，险些摔倒。周芷若大惊，抢上扶住师父。 范遥大怒，喝道：“阴毒卑鄙的小人，留你作甚？”提起裹着鹿杖客和韩姬的被窝卷儿，抛了下去。鹤笔翁同门情深，敢急之际不及细思，扑出来便想抓住鹿杖客。但那被窝卷离塔太远，鹤笔翁只抓到被窝一角，一带之下，竟身不由主地跟着一起摔落。 张无忌站在塔下，烟雾弥漫之中瞧不清塔上这几人的纠缠，眼见一大捆物事和一个人摔下，那捆物事不知是什么东西，隐约间只看到其中似乎包得有人，但那人却看清楚是鹤笔翁。他明知此人作恶多端，曾累得自己不知吃过多少苦头，可是终不忍袖手不顾，任由他跌得粉身碎骨，立即纵身上前，双掌分别拍击，将被窝和鹤笔翁分向左右击出三丈。 鹤笔翁一个回旋，已然站定，心中暗叫：“好险！”他万没想到张无忌竟会以德报怨，救了自己一命，转身去看师兄时，却又大吃一惊。原来张无忌一拍之下，被窝散开，滚出两个赤裸裸的人来，正好摔入火堆中。鹿杖客穴道未解，动弹不得，须发登时着火。鹤笔翁大叫：“师哥！”抢入火堆中抱起。 他跃出火堆，立足未定，俞莲舟叫道：“吃我一掌！”左掌击向他肩头。鹤笔翁不敢抵敌，沉肩相避，俞莲舟这一掌似已用老，但他肩头下沉，这一掌跟着下击，啪的一声，只痛得鹤笔翁额头冷汗直冒，此刻救师兄要紧，忙抱起鹿杖客，飞身跃出高墙。 便在此时，塔中又是一根燃烧着的大木柱倒将下来，压着韩姬尸身，片刻间全身是火。塔下从齐声大叫：“快跳下来，快跳下来！” 范遥东蹿西跃，躲避火势。那宝塔梁柱烧毁后，砖石纷纷跌落，塔顶已微微晃动，随时都能倒塌。灭绝师太厉声道：“芷若，你跳下去！”周芷若道：“师父，你先跳了，我再跳！”灭绝师太突然纵身而起，一掌向范遥的左肩劈下，喝道：“魔教的恶贼，容你不得！” 范遥一声长笑，纵身跃下。张无忌挥掌击出，将他轻轻送开，赞道：“范右使，大功告成，当真难能！”范遥站定脚步，说道：“若非教主神功盖世，大伙儿人人成了高塔上的烤猪。范遥行事不当，何功之有？” 灭绝师太伸臂抱了周芷若，踊身下跳，待离地面约有丈许时，双臂运劲上托，反将周芷若托高了数尺。这么一来，周芷若变成只是从丈许高的空中落下，丝毫无碍，灭绝师太的下堕之势却反而加强。 张无忌抢步上前，运起乾坤大挪移神功往她腰后拍去。岂知灭绝师太死志已决，又绝不肯受明教半分恩惠，见他手掌拍到，拼起全身残余力气，反手击出。双掌相交，砰的一声大响，张无忌的掌力为她这一掌转移了方向，喀喇一响，灭绝师太重重摔在地下，登时脊骨断成数截。张无忌却也为她挟着下堕之势的这一掌打得胸口气血翻涌，连退几步，心下大惑不解，灭绝师太这一掌，明明便是自杀。 周芷若扑到师父身上，哭叫：“师父，师父！”其余峨嵋派众男女弟子也都抢上围在师父身旁，乱成一团。灭绝师太道：“芷若，从今日起，你便是本派第四代掌门，我要你做的事，你都……都能遵从么？”她竭力提声说话，是要众弟子尽数听到。周芷若哭道：“是，师父，弟子不敢忘记。” 灭绝师太微微一笑，道：“如此，我死也瞑目……”见张无忌走上前来，伸手要搭她脉搏，灭绝师太右手蓦地翻出，紧紧抓住他手腕，厉声道：“魔教的淫徒，你若玷污了我爱徒清白，我做鬼也不饶过……”最后一个“你”字没说出口，已然气绝身亡，但手指仍然不松，五片指甲在张无忌手腕上掏出了血来。 范遥叫道：“大伙儿都跟我来，到西门外会齐。倘若再有耽搁，奸王的大队人马这就要来啦。” 张无忌抱起灭绝师太尸身，低声道：“咱们走吧！”周芷若将师父的手指轻轻扳离他手腕，接过尸身，向张无忌一眼也不瞧，便向寺外走去。峨嵋派因与明教有仇，不愿随众人同行，径自离去。 这时昆仑、崆峒、华山诸派高手早已蜂拥而出。只少林派空闻、空智两位神僧不失前辈风范，过来合十向张无忌道谢，和宋远桥、俞莲舟等相互谦让一番，始先后出门。 张无忌以乾坤大挪移神功相援六派高手下塔，内力几已耗尽，最后和灭绝师太对了那一掌，更大伤元气，这时几乎路也走不动了。莫声谷将他抱起，负在背后。张无忌默运九阳神功，这才内力渐增。
其时天已黎明，群雄来到西门，驱
When Lu Zhangke saw that Ku Toutuo was called to go by the princess, he was determined, and immediately carried Han Ji to the room of his disciple Uwang Apu.The pagoda of Wan'an Temple has 13 floors and is 13 feet high. The top three floors are dedicated to Buddha statues, Buddhist scriptures, relics, etc., and cannot be inhabited by people.Uwangapu is the chief manager of the tower. He lives on the tenth floor, which is convenient for looking around and controlling the overall situation. After the deer stick guest entered the room, he said to Uwang Apu, "Look outside the door, don't let anyone in." As soon as Uwang Apu went out, he immediately closed the door, untied the bundle, and let Han Ji go. come out.Seeing that her face was dimmed with horror, and her eyes were full of pleading, the deer sock guest whispered: "You don't have to be afraid when you get here, I will treat you well." Right now, she can't untie her acupuncture points, I'm afraid She said something bad, but her heart was itchy, so she kissed her lips lightly first, to take advantage of it, and then said that even if it fails in the future, she has already kissed the beauty. He put Han Ji on Uwang Apu's bed, pulled the quilt over her body, took another quilt, wrapped it in the bag, and put it aside.The place where Han Ji was was a place of right and wrong, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he left the room in a hurry, and told Uwang Apu not to enter the room, nor to let others in.He knew that this big disciple respected and feared him, and he would never dare to disobey him even a little bit, so he made up his mind: "Kututuo really needs to keep this matter a secret, and he has to sell him a big favor, so he has to let his old lover go first. And the illegitimate daughter. It just so happened that the leader of the Demon Cult made such a fuss last night, and the incident started from the girl surnamed Zhou. As long as it is the leader of the Demon Cult who rescued the old nun and Miss Zhou, it will be seamless , the princess is no longer suspicious. This little devil is so powerful in martial arts, the princess can't blame us for the guard's negligence." A group of female disciples of the Emei Sect were all imprisoned on the seventh floor, Miejue Shitai was the head of the sect, and was imprisoned alone in a small room.Lu Zhangke ordered the guards to open the door and enter, only to see Master Miejue sitting cross-legged on the ground, meditating with eyes closed.She has been on a hunger strike for several days, although her face is haggard, she looks even more arrogant and powerful. Lu Zhangke said: "Master Miejue, hello!" Miejue Shitai slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's not good here, what's so good?" Lu Zhangke said: "You are so stubborn, master It's useless to keep it, so let me send you to heaven." Miejue Shitai decided to die early, and said: "Excellent, but I don't bother you to do it, please borrow a dagger, and I will finish it myself. Please also Your Excellency called my disciple Zhou Zhiruo here, and I have a few words to tell her." Lu Zhangke turned around and left the room, ordered someone to take Zhou Zhiruo, thinking: "Her mother-daughter relationship is really different, otherwise why didn't you call her goodbye?" My big disciple, just call her." Not long after Zhou Zhiruo came to the master's room, Juejue Shitai said: "Mr. Lu, please wait outside the room, I just need to say a few words." Lu Zhanke nodded, walked out of the room, and stood guard outside the door.After waiting for a while, he suddenly wanted to eavesdrop on the secrets that the mother and daughter were talking about, so he used his internal strength and bent his ears to the door.But he could hear murmurs, one person's voice was extremely low and deep, it seemed that Miejue Shitai was talking, and he listened intently for a long time, but he couldn't hear a word.After a while, I heard Zhou Zhiruo say "ah", and said, "Master, this disciple is young, and he hasn't started for a long time... You old man will surely be able to get out of trouble..." Lu Zhangke was surprised: "Why did she call my mother 'Master'? Don't call her 'mother', doesn't she know that she is the illegitimate daughter of old nun Juejue?" Then Zhou Zhiruo kept refusing: "I really can't, I can't do it, I can't..." Master Miejue said sharply: "If you don't listen to my instructions, you will be deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors." A dodge, a strict order, back and forth, talked for a long time.Lu Zhangke couldn't hear what Master Miejue asked his daughter to agree to, and what Zhou Zhiruo refused, but Zhou Zhiruo whimpered and cried for a while.At this time, Lu Zhangke got impatient with waiting, and knocked on the door: "Hey, have you finished talking? There will be a long time to talk in the future, so don't rush to talk at this time." Miejue Shitai was very irritable, and shouted in a rough voice: "You are talking What?" Luzhangke didn't want to offend her mother and daughter and make Ku Toutuo unhappy, so he said: "Okay, okay! I won't come here to talk about it, you and your mother can talk slowly." Juejueshi said angrily: "No fish or fish! We It's two masters and apprentices, what 'mother and two'?" Lu Zhangke apologized with a smile: "Yes, yes!" After waiting for a while, thinking about Han Ji in his heart, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurried up to the tenth floor Outside Uwang Apu's room. After a while, Miejue Shitai had explained to Zhou Zhiruo the important affairs of the sect, only to hear someone knocking on the door again.Miejue Shitai thought: "It's too late to teach the exercises today." He said loudly: "Come in!" The board door opened, but it was Ku Toutuo who came in instead of Luzhangke.Miejue Shitai didn't think it was different, she thought that these people were all the same, no matter who came, she said, "You take this child out." She didn't want to commit suicide in front of Zhou Zhiruo, lest she could bear it. live. Ku Toutuo approached him and said in a low voice: "This is the antidote, take it quickly. You will hear the screams from outside later, everyone will fight together." Miejue Shitai asked: "Who is your Excellency? Why did you give it to me?" The antidote for me?" Ku Toutuo said: "I am Fan Yao, the bright right envoy of the Ming Sect, who stole the antidote and came here to save the master." Miejue Shitai said angrily: "The traitor of the devil sect! He has come to tease Yu at this moment. Me." Fan Yao said with a smile, "Okay! Even if I am teasing you, this is poison with poison added to poison, do you have the guts to take it? Once the medicine enters your stomach, your stomach and intestines will be broken every hour, and you will die a miserable death Impossible." Miejue Shitai didn't say a word, took the powder in his hand, opened his mouth and swallowed it. Zhou Zhiruo exclaimed in shock: "Master...Master..." Fan Yao stretched out his other palm and shouted, "Don't make a sound, you have also taken this poison." Zhou Zhiruo was startled, Fan Yao pinched her cheek and poured the powder In the entrance, he picked up a bottle of clear water and poured her a few mouthfuls, and the medicine powder fell down her throat. Miejue Shi was too shocked, thinking that if Zhou Zhiruo died, all his painstaking efforts would be in vain, so he threw himself on Fan Yao recklessly and swung his palm at Fan Yao.But at this moment, her skill has not recovered, this palm movement is fine, but it has no strength, and Fan Yao just gave it a light push, and it hit the wall. Fan Yao laughed and said, "The monks of Shaolin and the heroes of Wudang have all taken my poison. Whether my teaching is good or bad, you will know after a while." He laughed and turned around to leave the room, closing the door behind his back .
It turned out that when Fan Yao escorted Zhao Min to meet Zhang Wuji, he only cared about getting the antidote.Zhao Min ordered him to meet him in the outer hall of the small restaurant, he immediately left the shop, rushed back to Wan'an Temple, entered the tower, and walked outside Uwang Apu's house on the tenth floor. Uwang Apu was standing outside the door, and when he saw him, he called out respectfully: "Master Ku." Fan Yao nodded and smiled inwardly: "Okay, Lao Er Lu is disrespectful to his teacher. He hides in the room by himself, having a good time with the prince's Ai Ji, but asks his apprentice to watch outside the door. Riding on this old man When he was in the middle of the sky, he concealed himself and went in, just to snatch his antidote." So he hunched over, walked past Wuwang Apu, and suddenly pointed with his backhand, hitting the acupuncture point on his lower abdomen.Not to mention that Uwang Apu was not on guard, even if he was on full alert, he couldn't avoid this finger.As soon as he hit the acupuncture point, he was stunned and unable to move, he felt very strange, he somehow offended this dumb Tutuo, could it be that the "Master Suffering" just now was not respectful enough? Fan Yao pushed open the door, and jumped on the bed as fast as lightning. Before his feet landed, he hit the person on the bed with his palm.He knew very well that Luzhangke's martial art skills are very good, if this palm can't seriously injure him, then it will be a life-and-death struggle where it is difficult to determine the outcome, so he exerted 100% of his strength in this palm.There was only a bang, and the quilt was broken, and the cotton wool was blown away. When the quilt was lifted to look, Han Ji's mouth and nose were bleeding. With a thought in his mind, Fan Yao turned around and left the room, brought Uwang Apra in, added another finger, and stuffed him under the bed.As soon as he closed the door, he heard Lu Zhangke shouting angrily outside the door: "Apu, Apu, how dare you walk away without authorization?" It turned out that the deer stick guest was impatient with exterminating the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and he didn't know how long it would be before he came back to Wuwang Apu's room. , Pushing open the door, fortunately nothing unusual, Han Ji is still facing the inner bed, covered with a quilt. The deer sticker picked up the latch, bolted the door first, turned around and said with a smile, "Beauty, I will untie the acupoints for you, but you are not allowed to speak." Touching Han Ji's back, there was a sudden tightening of his wrist, and five fingers like iron pincers had firmly clasped his veins.At this moment, all the strength in his body lost, and he couldn't use any strength, only to see the quilt was lifted, and a long-haired Toutuo came out, it was Ku Toutuo. Fan Yao clasped Luzhangke's pulse gate with his right hand, moved his fingers like the wind with his left hand, and tapped nineteen major acupoints all over his body.Luzhangke suddenly collapsed on the ground, unable to move any more, Fan Yao pointed at him in his eyes and said, "I don't change my surname when I walk, and I don't change my name when I sit. Mingjiao is the bright right, and the surname is Fan and Mingyao. Today you Being conspired against by me, you are in vain of your conceit and wit. You are actually extremely stupid and useless. If I kill you at this moment, it will not be done by a hero, and I will spare your life. If you have the guts, just come to me in the future, Fan Yao revenge." Still not satisfied, he took off Lu Zhangke's entire clothes, stripped him naked, and lay down next to Han Ji's body, then pulled the quilt over the dead and alive two people.Then he took the antler staff, unscrewed the antlers, poured out all the antidote, and then went to each cell one by one, and distributed them to Master Kongwen, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou and others.It took a lot of time to wait for the antidote to be delivered one by one, and some words and explanations were not free in the middle.Finally, when I came to Miejue Shitai's room, seeing that she didn't believe it was the antidote, I simply frightened her and said it was poison.Fan Yao hated her for handicapping many brothers of this sect, so he was very happy to be able to insult her a few words. After distributing the antidote, he was complacent when he suddenly heard the commotion of people under the pagoda, among which He Biweng's voice was the loudest: "This Ku Toutuo is a spy, take him down quickly!" Fan Yao secretly cried out: "Damn it!" Oh, no, who is going to rescue this guy?" Looking down the tower, he saw He Biweng led a large number of warriors, and surrounded the tower.When Ku Toutuo poked his head, Sun Sanhui and Li Sicui fired both arrows and cursed: "The villain Tutuo has caused people such misery!" He Biweng and the other three were hit on their acupoints, so they couldn't escape for a while. The three of them hid in the Luzhang guest room, and no one else dared to enter rashly.Unexpectedly, all the warriors sent by Ruyang Prince's Mansion searched everywhere in Wan'an Temple, but there was no trace of Prince Ai Ji, and some people thought of Lu Zhangke's lustful and greedy temperament in his life.But all the warriors have always been afraid of him, although they suspect that the disappearance of Prince Ai Ji is related to him, but who dares to break ground on Tai Sui?After suffering for a long time, Chief Ha, who led all the warriors, had a plan and ordered a soldier to knock on the door of the deer stick guest. The deer stick guest had a very high status. If you kill this little soldier, it's insignificant.The soldier knocked on the door several times, but no one answered in the room. Mr. Ha gritted his teeth, and ordered the soldiers to just push the door and go in to have a look.Looking at it, he saw He Biweng, Sun Sanhui and Li Siqi lying on the ground.At that time, Crane Biweng was lucky enough to rush to the acupoint, and he had already opened 30% to 40% of the acupoint. Mr. Ha released the acupoint for him, and immediately he could move freely.Crane Biweng was furious, and asked about the whereabouts of Luzhangke and Ku Toutuo, and when he learned that they had arrived in the tower, he unlocked the acupoints of Sun Sanhui and Li Siqi, led all the warriors to surround the tower, and shouted loudly for Ku Toutuo to come down. Fight to the death. Fan Yao was secretly startled: "A fight to the death is a fight to the death. The Fan surname is afraid that you will fail? It's just that those smelly monks and old nuns haven't taken the antidote for a long time, and their skills can't be recovered in a short time. This crane penman has heard me Talking to Lu Zhangke, even if I kill Lao Er Lu, I can't silence it, so what should I do?" At a moment's hesitation, I heard Crane Biweng shout: "Si Toutuo, if you don't come down, I will come up!" Fan Yao turned around and wrapped Lu Zhangke and Han Ji together in the quilt, returned to the side of the pagoda, lifted them up high, and shouted: "Old He, as long as you take a step closer to the pagoda gate, I will send you to the pagoda." The deer fell down." The torches held high in the hands of the warriors shone like daylight in all directions, but the pagoda was too high for the light of the torches to go up, but the faces of Luzhangke and Han Ji could still be seen vaguely. Crane Biweng was shocked, and shouted: "Senior brother, senior brother, are you okay?" He kept calling several times, but he didn't hear Luzhangke's answer, and only said that he had been killed by Ku Toutuo. : "Zei Toutuo, you killed my senior brother, I am at odds with you." Fan Yao unlocked Lu Zhangke's dumb acupoint.Lu Zhangke immediately yelled: "Tie Toutuo, you are a foreign agent here, and killed you with thousands of cuts..." Fan Yaorong cursed a few words, and then hit his dumb acupoint.He Biweng saw that his senior brother was not dead, he felt at ease, he was afraid that Ku Toutuo would really throw his senior brother off, so he didn't dare to approach the pagoda gate. After such a stalemate for a long time, He Biweng never dared to come up to rescue his senior brother.Fan Yao only hoped to procrastinate as much as possible, just a moment longer. He stood by the railing, laughed loudly, and shouted, "Old man He, your senior brother is so daring that you stole the prince's concubine." I was the one who caught the traitor and caught both of them. Do you still want to protect the senior brother? My lord, quickly take this old man down. His two senior brothers rebelled and rebelled, and the crime will not be punished. You took it down He, the prince will definitely reward you heavily." Manager Ha squinted at He Biweng, wanting to make a move, but dared not.He saw Ku Toutuo speak suddenly, although he felt strange, but he clearly saw Lu Zhangke and Han Ji wrapped in a quilt, not to mention that his ancestors are the first in his heart, he had already believed 90% of it.He shouted loudly: "Master Ku, please come down, let's go to the prince to distinguish right from wrong. The three of you are seniors and masters, and no villain will dare to offend anyone." Fan Yao was full of guts, and he wanted to go to the palace together to meet the lord, and when he could distinguish right from wrong, and the poison in the bodies of the heroes on the tower had been cured, he immediately shouted: "Wonderful, wonderful! I'm about to accept the reward from the lord .My lord, take care of this old man He, and don’t let him escape by chance.” At this moment, the sound of horseshoes was heard, and the horse rushed to the temple and rushed straight to the high tower. All the warriors bowed and saluted, and shouted: "Little prince!" The golden crown on this man's head was shining brightly, he was straddling a tall white horse, and he was wearing a brocade robe. He belonged to Kukutmu'er, the eldest son of King Ruyang, named Wang Baobao in Han Dynasty. Wang Baobao asked sharply, "Where is Han Ji? My father is furious and wants me to come and check it out myself." Director Ha stepped forward to report, and said that Han Ji was stolen by Lu Zhangke, and now Ku Toutuo has captured her.Crane Biweng said anxiously: "Little prince, don't listen to his nonsense. This Tutuo is a spy, he framed my elder brother..." Wang Baobao raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Come down and talk!" Fan Yao has been in the palace for a long time, knowing that Wang Baobao is shrewd and capable, and he is not under his father. His tricks can be hidden from others, but he cannot be hidden from him. When he steps down from the high tower, he is afraid that the little prince will see through his flaws in a few words and order everyone The samurai besieged, a crane penman alone is not aggressive, if he escapes by himself or does not embarrass him, the heroes in the tower will not be able to save him, he said loudly: "Little prince, I have captured the deer stick man, his younger brother hates me to the bone , as long as I come down, he will kill me immediately." Wang Baobao said: "Come down quickly, Mr. He can't kill you." Fan Yao shook his head, and said loudly: "I'd better stay on the pagoda to be safer. Little prince, I have been silent all my life, and today I have no choice but to speak. It’s all because of my loyalty to the lord. If you don’t believe me, I, Ku Toutuo, have no choice but to jump off the tower and hit my head to death for you to see.” Wang Baobao heard that his words were incomplete and untrue, most of them were nonsense, and he deliberately delayed, so he asked Mr. Ha in a low voice: "What is his plan? He wants to delay on purpose. Is he waiting for someone to come?" Mr. Ha said: "The villain I don't know..." Crane Biweng rushed to say: "My lord, this bandit Toutuo robbed my elder brother of the antidote to rescue all the rebels imprisoned in the tower." Wang Baobao suddenly realized, and shouted: "Master Ku , I understand your contribution, come down quickly, I will reward you a lot." 范遥道：“我给鹿杖客踢了两脚，腿骨都快断了，这会儿全然动弹不得。小王爷，请你稍待片刻，我运气疗伤，当即下来。”王保保喝道：“哈总管，你快派人上去，背负苦大师下塔。”范遥大叫：“使不得，使不得，谁一移动我身子，我两条腿就废了。” 王保保此时更无怀疑，眼见韩姬和鹿杖客双双裹在一条棉被之中，就算两人并无苟且，父王也不能再要这姬人，低声道：“哈总管，举火烧了宝塔。派人用强弓射住，不论是谁从塔上跳下，一概射杀。”哈总管答应了，传下令去，登时弓箭手弯弓搭箭，团团围住高塔，有些武士便去取火种柴草。 鹤笔翁大惊，叫道：“小王爷，我师哥在上面啊。”王保保冷冷地道：“这头陀不能在上面等一辈子，塔下一举火，他自会下来。”鹤笔翁叫道：“他若将我师哥摔将下来，那可怎么办？小王爷，这火不能放。”王保保哼了一声，不去理他。 片刻之间，众武士已取过柴草火种，在塔下点起火来。 鹤笔翁是武林中大有身份之人，受汝阳王礼聘入府，向来甚受敬重，不料今日连中苦头陀的奸计不算，连小王爷也不以礼相待，眼见师兄危在顷刻，这时也不理他什么小王爷大王爷，提起鹤嘴双笔，纵身而上，挑向两名正在点火的武士，机卩八两响，两名武士远远摔开。 王保保大怒，喝道：“鹤先生，你也要犯上作乱么？”鹤笔翁道：“你别叫人放火，我自不会来阻挡。”王保保喝道：“点火！”左手一挥，他身后蹿出五名红衣番僧，从众武士手中接过火把，向塔下的柴草掷了过去。柴草一遇火焰，登时便燃起熊熊烈火。鹤笔翁大急，从一名武士手中抢过一根长矛，扑打着火的柴草。 王保保喝道：“拿下了！”那五名红衣番僧各持戒刀，登时将鹤笔翁围住。 鹤笔翁怒极，抛下长矛，伸手便来拿左首一名番僧手中的兵刃。这番僧并非庸手，戒刀翻转，反剁他肩头。鹤笔翁待得避开，身后金刃劈风，又有两柄戒刀同时砍到。 王保保手下共有十八名武功了得的番僧，号称“十八金刚”，分为五刀、五剑、四杖、四钹。这五僧乃“五刀金刚”，单打独斗跟鹤笔翁的武功都差得远了，但五刀金刚联手，攻守相助，鹤笔翁武功虽高，但早一日给张无忌击得受伤呕血，内力大损，何况眼见火势上腾，师兄处境极为危险，不免沉不住气，一时难以取胜。 王保保手下众武士加柴点火，火头烧得更加旺了。这宝塔有砖有木，在这大火焚烧之下，底下数层便毕毕剥剥地烧了起来。 范遥抛下鹿杖客，冲到囚禁武当诸侠的室中，叫道：“鞑子在烧塔了，各位内力是否已复？”只见宋远桥、俞莲舟等人各自盘坐用功，凝神专志，谁也没答话，显然到了回复功力的紧要关头。看守诸侠的武士有几名抢来干预，都让范遥抓将起来，一个个掷出塔外，活活摔死。其余的冒火突烟，逃了下去。 过不多时，火焰已烧到了第四层，囚禁在这层中的华山派诸人不及等功力恢复，狼狈万状地逃上第五层。火焰毫不停留地上腾，跟着第五层中的崆峒派诸人也逃了上去。有的奔走稍慢，连衣服须发都烧着了。 范遥正束手无策，忽听得一人叫道：“范右使，接住了！”正是韦一笑的声音。范遥大喜，往声音来处瞧去，只见韦一笑站在万安寺后殿的殿顶，抖手将一条长绳抛了过来，范遥伸手接住。韦一笑叫道：“你缚在栏杆上，便是一道绳桥。”范遥刚缚好绳子，神箭八雄中的赵一伤嗖的一箭，便将绳子从中射断。范遥和韦一笑同声破口大骂。 韦一笑骂道：“射你个奶奶。哪一个不抛下弓箭，老子先宰了他。”一面骂，一面抽出长剑，纵身下地。他双足刚着地，五名青袍番僧立时仗剑围上，却是王保保手下十八番僧中的“五剑金刚”，五人手中长剑闪烁，剑招诡异，和韦一笑斗在一起。 鹤笔翁挥动鹤嘴笔苦战，高声叫道：“小王爷，你再不下令救火，我可要对你不客气了。”王保保哪去理他。四名手执禅杖的番僧分立小王爷四周，以防有人偷袭。鹤笔翁焦躁起来，双笔突使一招“横扫千军”，将身前三名番僧逼开两步，提气急奔，冲到了塔旁。五名番僧随后追到。鹤笔翁双足一登，上了宝塔第一层的屋檐。五名番僧见火势烧得正旺，便不追上。 鹤笔翁一层层地上跃，待得登上第四层屋檐时，范遥从第七层上探头出来，高举鹿杖客的身子，大声叫道：“鹤老儿，快给我停步！你再动一步，我便将鹿老儿摔成鹿肉浆。”鹤笔翁果然不敢再动，叫道：“苦大师，我师兄弟跟你往日无怨，近日无仇，你何苦如此跟我们为难？你要救你的老情人灭绝师太，要救你女儿周姑娘，尽管去救便是，我决不来阻拦。” 灭绝师太服了苦头陀给她的解药后，只道真是毒药，自己必死，只是周芷若竟也给灌了毒药，毕生指望尽化泡影，心中如何不苦？正自伤心，忽听得塔下喧哗之声大作，跟着苦头陀和鹤笔翁斗口、王保保下令纵火等情形，一一听得清楚。她心下奇怪：“莫非这鬼模样的头陀当真是救我来着？”试一运气，立时便觉丹田中一股暖意升将上来，和自中毒以来的情形大不相同。 她不肯听赵敏之令出去殿上比武，已自行绝食了六七日，胃中早已空空如也，解药人肚，迅速化入血液，药力行开，比谁都快。加之她内力深厚，犹在宋远桥、俞莲舟、何太冲诸人之上，仅比少林派掌门空闻方丈稍逊，十香软筋散的毒性遇到解药后渐渐消退，她一经运气，内力登时生出，不到半个时辰，内功已复了五六成。她正加紧运功，忽听得鹤笔翁在外高声大叫，字字如利箭般钻入耳中：“……你要救你的老情人灭绝师太，要救你女儿周姑娘，尽管去救便是，我决不来阻拦。” 这什么“老情人”云云，叫她听了如何不怒？大踏步走到栏杆之旁，怒声喝道：“你满嘴胡说八道，不清不白地说些什么？”鹤笔翁求道：“老师太，你快劝劝你老……老朋友，先放我师兄下来。我担保你一家三口，平安离开。玄冥二老说一是一，说二是二，决不致言而无信。”灭绝师太怒道：“什么一家三口？” 范遥虽身处危境，还是呵呵大笑，甚是得意，说道：“老师太，这老儿说我是你的旧情人，那个周姑娘嘛，是我和你两个的私生女儿。” 灭绝师太怒容满面，在时明时暗的火光照耀之下，看来极是可怖，沉声喝道：“鹤老儿，你上来，我跟你拼上一百掌再说。”若在平时，鹤笔翁说上来便上来，何惧于一个峨嵋掌门，但此刻师兄落在别人手中，不敢蛮来，叫道：“苦头陀，那是你自己说的，可不是我信口开河。”灭绝师太双目瞪着范遥，厉声问道：“这是你说的么？” 范遥哈哈一笑，正要乘机挖苦她几句，忽听得塔下喊声大作，往下望时，只见火光中一条人影如穿花蝴蝶般迅速飞舞，在人丛中穿插来去，呛啷啷、呛啷啷之声不绝，众番僧、众武士手中兵刃纷纷落地，正是教主张无忌到了。
张无忌这一出手，围攻韦一笑的五名持剑番僧五剑齐飞。韦一笑大喜，闪身抢到他身旁，低声道：“我到汝阳王府去放火。”张无忌点了点头，已明白他用意。自己这里只寥寥数人，要是急切间救不出六大派群豪，对方援兵定然越来越多，青翼蝠王到汝阳王府去放火，众武士必定保护王爷要紧，实是个绝妙的调虎离山、釜底抽薪之计。 只见韦一笑一条青色人影一晃，已自掠过高墙。张无忌看了周遭情势，朗声问道：“范右使，怎么了？”范遥叫道：“糟糕之极！烧断了出路，一个也没能逃得出。” 此时王保保手下的十八番僧中，倒有十四人攻到了张无忌身畔。张无忌心想擒贼先擒王，只须擒住了那头戴金冠的鞑子王公，便能要挟他下令救火放人，于是身形一侧，从众番僧之间蹿过，犹似游鱼破水，直欺到王保保身前。 蓦地里左首一剑刺到，寒气逼人，剑尖直指胸口。张无忌急退一步，只听得一个女子声音说道：“张公子，这是家兄，你莫伤他。”但见她手中长剑颤动，婀娜而立。刃寒胜水，剑是倚天，貌美如花，人是赵敏。她急跟张无忌而来，只不过迟了片刻。 张无忌道：“你快下令救火放人，否则我可要对不起两位了。”赵敏叫道：“十八金刚，此人武功了得，结金刚阵挡住了。”那十八番僧适才吃过张无忌苦头，不须郡主言语点明，早知他的厉害，只听得当的一声大响，“四钹金刚”手中的八面大铜钹齐声敲击，十八名番僧来回游走，挡在王保保和赵敏的身前，将张无忌隔开了。 张无忌一瞥之下，见十八名番僧盘旋游走，步法诡异，十八人组成一道人墙，看来其中还蕴藏着不少变化。他忍不住便想冲一冲这座金刚阵，但就在此时，砰的一声大响，高塔上倒了一条大柱下来。 一回头，只见火焰已烧到了第七层上。血红的火舌缭绕之中，两人拳掌交加，斗得极是激烈，正是灭绝师太和鹤笔翁。第十层的栏杆之旁倚满了人，都是少林、武当各派人物，这干人武功尚未全复，何况高塔第十层离地十丈，纵有绝顶轻功而内力又丝毫未失，跳下来也非活活摔死不可。 张无忌一个念头在脑海中飞快地转了几转：“此金刚阵非片刻间所能破，何况击败众番僧，又有别的好手上来，要擒赵姑娘的哥哥，大是不易。灭绝师太和这鹤笔翁斗了这些时刻，始终……曾落败，看来她功力已复，那么大师伯等人的内力该当也已恢复，只宝塔太高，没法跃下来而已。” 他一动念间，突然满场游走，双手忽打忽拿、忽拍忽夺，将神箭八雄尽数击倒，此外众武士凡手持弓箭的，都给他或断弓箭，或点穴道，眼看高塔近旁已无弯弓搭箭的好手，纵声叫道：“塔上各位前辈，请逐一跳下来，在下在这里接着！” 塔上诸人听了都是一怔，心想此处高达十余丈，跳下去力道何等巨大，你便有千斤之力也没法接住。崆峒、昆仑各派中便有人嚷道：“千万跳不得，莫上这小子的当！他要骗咱们摔得粉身碎骨。” 张无忌见烟火弥漫，已烧近众高手身边，众人若再不跳，势必尽数葬身火窟，提声叫道：“俞二伯，你待我恩重如山，难道小侄会存心害你吗？请你先跳吧！” 俞莲舟对张无忌素来信得过，虽料想他武功再强，也决计接不住自己，但想与其给活活烧死，还不如活活摔死，叫道：“好！我跳下来啦！”纵身跃起，从高塔上跳落。 张无忌看得分明，待他身子离地约有五尺之时，挺掌轻轻拍出，正拍在他腰里。这一掌中所运，正是乾坤大挪移的绝顶武功，吞吐控纵之间，已将他自上向下的一股巨力拨为自左至右。 俞莲舟身上受力不重，向横里直飞出去，一摔数丈，此时他功力已恢复了七八成，一个回旋，已稳稳站在地下，顺手出掌，将一名蒙古武士打得口喷鲜血。他大声叫道：“大师哥、四师弟！你们都跳下来吧！” 塔上众人见俞莲舟居然安好无恙，齐声欢呼。 宋远桥爱子情深，要他先脱险地，说道：“青书，你跳下去！”宋青书自出囚室后，一直站在周芷若身旁，说道：“周姑娘，你快跳。”周芷若功力未复，不能去相助师父，却不肯自行逃生，听宋青书这么说，摇了摇头，道：“我等师父！” 这时何太冲、班淑娴等已先后跳下，都由张无忌施展乾坤大挪移神功出掌拍击，自直堕改为横摔，一一脱险。这干人功力虽未全复，但只须回复得五六成，已是众番僧、众武士所难抵挡。俞莲舟等顷刻间夺得兵刃，护在张无忌身周。王保保和赵敏的手下欲上前阻挠，均为俞莲舟、何太冲、班淑娴等人挡住。塔上每跃下一人，张无忌便多了一个帮手。那些人自遭赵敏囚入高塔之后，人人受尽了屈辱，也不知有多少人给割去了手指，此时得脱牢笼，个个含愤拼命，霎时间已有二十余名武士尸横就地。 王保保见情势不佳，传令：“调我飞弩亲兵队来！” 哈总管正要去传小王爷号令，突然间只见东南角上火光冲天。他大吃一惊，叫道：“小王爷，王府失火！咱们快去保护王爷要紧。” 王保保关怀父亲安危，顾不得擒杀叛贼，忙道：“妹子，我先回府，你诸多小心！”不等赵敏答应，掉转马头，直冲出去。王保保这一走，十八金刚一齐跟去，王府武士也去了一大半。余下众武士见王府失火，谁也没想到只韦一笑一人捣鬼，还道大批叛贼进攻王府，无不惊惶。 其时宋青书、宋远桥、张松溪、莫声谷等都已跃下高塔，双方强弱之势大大逆转，待得空闻方丈、空智大师，以及少林派达摩堂、罗汉堂众高僧分别跃下后，赵敏手下的武士已无可抗御。 赵敏心想此时若再不走，自己反要成为他的俘虏，当即下令：“各人退出万安寺。”转头向张无忌叫道：“明日黄昏，我再请你饮酒，务请驾临。”张无忌一怔之间，尚未答应，赵敏嫣然一笑，已退入了万安寺后殿。 只听得范遥在塔顶大叫：“周姑娘，快跳下，火烧眉毛啦！你再不跳，难道想做焦炭美人么？”周芷若道：“我陪着师父！” 灭绝师太和鹤笔翁剧斗一阵，烟火上腾，便跃上一层，终于斗上了第十层的屋角。她功力尚未全复，但此时早已将生死置之度外，掌法中只攻不守。鹤笔翁一来挂念着师兄的安危，心有二用，二来前伤未愈，三来适才中了麻药，穴道又遭封闭良久，手脚究也不十分灵便，两人竟斗了个不分上下。灭绝师太听到徒儿的说话，叫道：“芷若，你快跳下去，别来管我！这贼老儿辱我太甚，非杀了他不可！” 鹤笔翁暗暗叫苦：“这老尼全是拼命打法，我救师兄要紧，难道跟她在这火窟中同归于尽不成？”大声道：“灭绝师太，这话是苦头陀说的，跟我可不相干。” 灭绝师太撤掌回身，问范遥道：“兀那头陀，这等疯话町是你说的？”范遥嬉皮笑脸地道：“什么疯话？”这一句话，明摆着要灭绝师太亲口重复一遍：“他说我是你的老情人，周芷若是我跟你生的私生女儿。”她听了范遥这句话，已知鹤笔翁之言不假，只气得全身发颤，虽然此时早明白范遥确是救了自己，但仍容他不得。 鹤笔翁见灭绝师太背向自己，突然一阵黑烟卷到，正是偷袭良机，烟雾之中，双掌击向灭绝师太背心。周芷若和范遥看得分明，齐声叫道：“师父小心！”“老尼姑小心！”灭绝师太回掌反击，却已挡不了鹤笔翁的阴阳双掌，左掌和他的左掌相抵，鹤笔翁右手所发的玄冥神掌终于击中她背心。那玄冥神掌何等厉害，当年在武当山上，甚至和张三丰都对得一掌，灭绝师太身子一晃，险些摔倒。周芷若大惊，抢上扶住师父。 范遥大怒，喝道：“阴毒卑鄙的小人，留你作甚？”提起裹着鹿杖客和韩姬的被窝卷儿，抛了下去。鹤笔翁同门情深，敢急之际不及细思，扑出来便想抓住鹿杖客。但那被窝卷离塔太远，鹤笔翁只抓到被窝一角，一带之下，竟身不由主地跟着一起摔落。 张无忌站在塔下，烟雾弥漫之中瞧不清塔上这几人的纠缠，眼见一大捆物事和一个人摔下，那捆物事不知是什么东西，隐约间只看到其中似乎包得有人，但那人却看清楚是鹤笔翁。他明知此人作恶多端，曾累得自己不知吃过多少苦头，可是终不忍袖手不顾，任由他跌得粉身碎骨，立即纵身上前，双掌分别拍击，将被窝和鹤笔翁分向左右击出三丈。 鹤笔翁一个回旋，已然站定，心中暗叫：“好险！”他万没想到张无忌竟会以德报怨，救了自己一命，转身去看师兄时，却又大吃一惊。原来张无忌一拍之下，被窝散开，滚出两个赤裸裸的人来，正好摔入火堆中。鹿杖客穴道未解，动弹不得，须发登时着火。鹤笔翁大叫：“师哥！”抢入火堆中抱起。 他跃出火堆，立足未定，俞莲舟叫道：“吃我一掌！”左掌击向他肩头。鹤笔翁不敢抵敌，沉肩相避，俞莲舟这一掌似已用老，但他肩头下沉，这一掌跟着下击，啪的一声，只痛得鹤笔翁额头冷汗直冒，此刻救师兄要紧，忙抱起鹿杖客，飞身跃出高墙。 便在此时，塔中又是一根燃烧着的大木柱倒将下来，压着韩姬尸身，片刻间全身是火。塔下从齐声大叫：“快跳下来，快跳下来！” 范遥东蹿西跃，躲避火势。那宝塔梁柱烧毁后，砖石纷纷跌落，塔顶已微微晃动，随时都能倒塌。灭绝师太厉声道：“芷若，你跳下去！”周芷若道：“师父，你先跳了，我再跳！”灭绝师太突然纵身而起，一掌向范遥的左肩劈下，喝道：“魔教的恶贼，容你不得！” 范遥一声长笑，纵身跃下。张无忌挥掌击出，将他轻轻送开，赞道：“范右使，大功告成，当真难能！”范遥站定脚步，说道：“若非教主神功盖世，大伙儿人人成了高塔上的烤猪。范遥行事不当，何功之有？” 灭绝师太伸臂抱了周芷若，踊身下跳，待离地面约有丈许时，双臂运劲上托，反将周芷若托高了数尺。这么一来，周芷若变成只是从丈许高的空中落下，丝毫无碍，灭绝师太的下堕之势却反而加强。 张无忌抢步上前，运起乾坤大挪移神功往她腰后拍去。岂知灭绝师太死志已决，又绝不肯受明教半分恩惠，见他手掌拍到，拼起全身残余力气，反手击出。双掌相交，砰的一声大响，张无忌的掌力为她这一掌转移了方向，喀喇一响，灭绝师太重重摔在地下，登时脊骨断成数截。张无忌却也为她挟着下堕之势的这一掌打得胸口气血翻涌，连退几步，心下大惑不解，灭绝师太这一掌，明明便是自杀。 周芷若扑到师父身上，哭叫：“师父，师父！”其余峨嵋派众男女弟子也都抢上围在师父身旁，乱成一团。灭绝师太道：“芷若，从今日起，你便是本派第四代掌门，我要你做的事，你都……都能遵从么？”她竭力提声说话，是要众弟子尽数听到。周芷若哭道：“是，师父，弟子不敢忘记。” 灭绝师太微微一笑，道：“如此，我死也瞑目……”见张无忌走上前来，伸手要搭她脉搏，灭绝师太右手蓦地翻出，紧紧抓住他手腕，厉声道：“魔教的淫徒，你若玷污了我爱徒清白，我做鬼也不饶过……”最后一个“你”字没说出口，已然气绝身亡，但手指仍然不松，五片指甲在张无忌手腕上掏出了血来。 范遥叫道：“大伙儿都跟我来，到西门外会齐。倘若再有耽搁，奸王的大队人马这就要来啦。” 张无忌抱起灭绝师太尸身，低声道：“咱们走吧！”周芷若将师父的手指轻轻扳离他手腕，接过尸身，向张无忌一眼也不瞧，便向寺外走去。峨嵋派因与明教有仇，不愿随众人同行，径自离去。 这时昆仑、崆峒、华山诸派高手早已蜂拥而出。只少林派空闻、空智两位神僧不失前辈风范，过来合十向张无忌道谢，和宋远桥、俞莲舟等相互谦让一番，始先后出门。 张无忌以乾坤大挪移神功相援六派高手下塔，内力几已耗尽，最后和灭绝师太对了那一掌，更大伤元气，这时几乎路也走不动了。莫声谷将他抱起，负在背后。张无忌默运九阳神功，这才内力渐增。
其时天已黎明，群雄来到西门，驱
