Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three

Zhang Wuji went to lead the mount, and rode straight to the pass with Zhao Min.I thought that if the foster father fell into the hands of the beggars, and the beggars wanted to use him to blackmail Mingjiao, they would not hurt him, but humiliation would be inevitable; Despicable, if persecuted, only death.Thinking of this, I can't wait to fly to Lulong with my wings.But Zhao Min was injured, so he couldn't drive without sleep, and in front of her, he didn't dare to show too much concern for Zhou Zhiruo. The two stayed overnight in a small inn that night.Zhang Wuji was lying on the kang, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he walked out of Zhao Min's window, but listening to her breathing evenly, she was in a deep sleep.He went to the counter to get a pen and inkstone, tore off a page of the account book, and left a hastily written note, saying that in order to save his adoptive father, it was an urgent matter, so he decided to rush all night. return.Press the page of the account book on the table with a stone inkstone, jump out of the window, and rush to the south.

The next morning I bought horses, changed horses all the way, and drove day and night, and arrived in Lulong in a few days.But chasing so fast, he didn't meet Chen Youliang and Song Qingshu on the way, probably because when he was on his way at night, Chen Song and Zhangbo Longtou were sleeping in the inn, so he missed it. Lulong is an important town in Hebei. In the Tang Dynasty, it was the place where Jiedu envoys were stationed. During the Song and Jin Dynasties, troops were used several times, and it was greatly destroyed. Its vitality has never recovered, but it is still densely populated.Zhang Wuji traveled all over Lulong's streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns, and it was strange to say that he never met a single beggar.He rejoiced in his heart: "In such a big city, there are no beggars on the street. It is very unusual. Chen Youliang said that the beggar gang gathered here, and it was not a lie. It seems that all the beggars in the city went to see the beggars. You only need to visit the place where they meet, and you can find out whether the father-in-law and Zhiruo were really captured by the beggar gang." He looked everywhere in the temples, ancestral halls, abandoned gardens, and mines in the city, but he couldn't find any clues. The villages in the surrounding suburbs were surveyed, but nothing unusual was found.

In the evening, he searched more and more anxiously, and couldn't help thinking about Zhao Min's benefits: "If she was by my side, I would never be so helpless." He only got a hotel to stay, and took a nap after dinner. At the second watch, he flew up to the house and looked around, the surroundings were peaceful, and there was no sign of gatherings of people from the world.While I was worrying, I suddenly saw a fire burning on a tall building in the southeast corner, and thought: "This family is either rich or expensive, so it should have nothing to do with the beggar gang..." Just as he was thinking, he seemed to see a figure flickering in the distance, someone Leaping out from the window of the building, the distance is far away, and I can't see clearly. I thought to myself: "Could it be that there are green forest tyrants who came to this big family to commit crimes? There is nothing left and right, so let's go and have a look."

Immediately, he unfolded his lightness kung fu, ran to the side of the huge house, and jumped over the wall, only to hear someone say: "Elder Chen is too troublesome. He clearly said that everyone will gather in Laohekou on the 16th day of the first lunar month, but he is in a hurry to report. A message came, asking us to wait here. He is not the leader of the gang, so he can do whatever he says, which is unreasonable!" The voice was loud and angry, and he was obviously talking about the affairs of the Beggar Clan.When Zhang Wuji heard this, he was overjoyed. The voice came from the hall, and Zhang Wuji quietly hid it, only to hear a rough voice saying: "Elder Chen is quite remarkable, his grandma's golden-haired lion king Xie Xun, many people in the world have been looking for it for more than 20 years, No one can catch a lion's fur butt shadow to smell it, but Elder Chen managed to catch him, not to mention that there is no one in this gang, in the martial arts, who can do it..." Zhang Wuji was surprised and frightened Hi, he heard this rough voice in the Maitreya Temple that day, he knew it was Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggar Clan, he thought that the whereabouts of his adoptive father was known, and there were no great masters in the Beggar Clan, so it was very important to save his foster father. It's difficult, so I went to the seam of the long window and looked in.

I saw Shi Huolong sitting in the middle, Chuangong, Law Enforcement Second Elder, Zhang Bang Longtou and three eight-pocket elders sat at the bottom. There was also a middle-aged fat man in gorgeous clothes, his appearance was like a wealthy gentleman, with his back on his back But it also carries six cloth bags.Zhang Wuji nodded secretly: "That's right, it turns out that there is a rich man in Lulong who is a disciple of the Beggar Clan. No one would have expected beggars to gather in the rich man's house." Shi Huolong continued: "Since Elder Chen sent an urgent message, he must have his reason for asking us to wait in Lulong. We are planning big things, his grandma's, this... this, we must be careful." Bang Longtou said: "Master's lesson: the heroes in the Jianghu are looking for Xie Xun, in order to seize the sword of dragon slaying. Now this sword is not in Xie Xun's hands. No matter how hard he deceives or scares him, he still refuses to reveal the sword. We got a blind man in vain, what is the use of it except to invite him to drink and eat? According to my brother, it is better to punish him harshly, and see if he says it or not."

Shi Huolong waved his hand and said: "No, no, it might be bad if you use hard work. Let's wait for Elder Chen to arrive, and then we can make a long-term plan." Zhang Bang's face showed disapproval, as if he blamed the leader for following Chen Youliang's advice on everything. Shi Huolong took out a letter, handed it to Zhang Banglongtou, and said, "Brother Feng, you go to Haozhou immediately, and hand this letter to Han Shantong, saying that his son is here with us, and everything is fine. Han Shantong has surrendered to the gang, and I will treat his son differently." Zhang Banglong said: "It seems that the small matter of delivering the letter does not need to be done by the brother himself?"

Shi Huolong's face darkened, and he said: "In the past six months, Han Shantong and his gang have been very prosperous. I heard that his subordinates such as Guo Zixing, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, and Deng Yu started fighting. They're all a bit of a stinker. This time, Brother Feng is going to go out in person. Firstly, he wants to convince Han Shantong to join the gang and be obedient. He also needs to see what plans he and his generals have. The burden on Brother Feng's shoulders is not light, how can it be said to be a trivial matter?" Zhang Bang Longtou didn't dare to say anything more, and said: "I will follow the order of the leader." After receiving the letter, he saluted Shi Huolong, Go out of the hall.

Zhang Wuji continued to listen, and only listened to what they said about how the Beggar Clan would flourish after the Mingjiao, Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei sects joined in.It seems that Shi Huolong's ambition is not as great as Chen Youliang's. The implication in his words is that he is satisfied as long as the beggar gang dominates the world and dominates the martial arts world, but he does not want to win the country and become the emperor.He listened for a while, feeling bored, thinking: "It seems that Yifu and Zhiruo are imprisoned here, I will rescue them first, and then I will punish these brazen beggars." Standing tall and tall, I looked around and saw a dozen disciples of the Beggar Clan downstairs, armed with weapons, patrolling back and forth, presumably it was the place where Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo were imprisoned.

He slipped down from the tree, hid himself behind a rockery, and waited for the two patrolling Beggar Sect disciples to turn around and walk away, then jumped to the bottom of the building and jumped up.But seeing the bright lights upstairs, he leaned over the window and listened to the movement in the room.After listening for a while, there was no sound in the room.He was very surprised: "Why is there no one? Could it be that there is an expert hiding here who can hold his breath for a long time?" After a while, he still couldn't hear the sound of breathing. He leaned over to look through the window and saw the A pair of big betting candles have already been lit, but there is no one in the room.

There are three rooms side by side on the upper floor. Seeing that there is no one in the east wing room, I peek out of the window of the west wing room.The lights in the room are bright, the table is messy, there are seven or eight people's bowls and chopsticks, the remaining wine in the glasses is still wet, and the dishes are just starting to move, but there is no one there. It seems that these people left the room after eating and drinking for a long time.The middle room was dark and had no lights.He pushed the door lightly, and the latch was on the inside, and he called in a low voice, "Father, are you here?" No one answered.

Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "It seems that the adoptive father is not here, but why are the people of the Beggar Clan so closely guarded? Could it be that what is intentionally true is false, and what is false is true?" Suddenly there was a smell of blood coming from the middle room. When the news came out, he was startled, and pressed his left hand on the door, his inner strength trembled slightly, and there was a light click, and the door bolt was snapped off.He immediately dodges into the room and catches the two broken latches so as not to make any noise when they hit the ground. He only took a step, but his feet stumbled, the contact was soft, like a human body, he bent down to touch it, but it was a corpse.This person has no breath, and his face is still slightly warm, obviously he died not long ago.Feeling for this person's head, small head and pointed cheeks, it's not Xie Xun, so I immediately feel relieved.Taking a step forward, he stepped onto the bodies of the two of them again.He stretched out his fingers and poked two small holes in the west side wall, through which candlelight penetrated.I saw that the ground was full of corpses lying here and there, all of them were disciples of the Beggar Clan, obviously all of them suffered serious internal injuries.He picked up the dead body and tore off his clothes, but saw that the man's chest was like a fist mark, his ribs were all broken, and his fist was extremely powerful. Zhang Wuji was overjoyed: "It turned out that the adoptive father showed his supernatural power, killed the guards and went out by himself." Looking around the room, he saw a flame figure carved with a sharp object on the corner of the wall, which is the symbol of Mingjiao. Seeing that the window latch was broken and the window was half-closed, I thought to myself: "Yes, just now I saw a dark shadow flickering upstairs, that is, the adoptive father escaped, but I don't know how the adoptive father was captured by the gang of beggars? It’s his old man who can’t see anything, so it’s hard to guard against the tricks of the beggars. They either use Mongolian sweat medicine, or use bridle ropes, barbs, fishing nets and other things to capture him.” He was overwhelmed with joy, walked out of the room, huddled by the door, looked down, and saw all the beggars patrolling back and forth, unaware of the incident upstairs, thinking: "Yifu has not been away for a long time, go catch up with him, We father and son turned around and turned him upside down, so that the crowd of beggars will know the method of my Mingjiao." Just then, when he saw the black shadow heading west, he jumped up, a little on a tall tree, jumped out of the fence, and raised his breath. Run west. After chasing for several miles along the main road, I came to a fork, looked around, and saw a flame mark drawn on the back of a rock, pointing to the path to the southwest.Zhang Wuji was overjoyed, thinking that his adoptive father's whereabouts had been discovered, and he would meet him immediately.He had heard Yang Xiao explain in detail all the secret signs for contact and guidance in the Ming Cult, and he saw that although the flame mark was only a few strokes, it was drawn vigorously. If it weren't for Xie Xun, a well-rounded man like Xie Xun, few people in the Ming Cult could draw it well. come out.
At this time, he had no doubts, and chased along the path until he reached Shaheyi. At dawn, he bought some steamed buns in a restaurant to satisfy his hunger, and went westward to Bangzi Town.I saw a flame mark painted at the foot of the wall at the corner of the street, pointing to a broken ancestral hall.He was overjoyed, guessing that his adoptive father must be hiding there, he walked in the door, only to hear the sound of hooting and drinking, a group of hooligans and down-to-earth children were gambling in the hall, but it was a casino. Seeing Zhang Wuji's expensive attire, the head of the casino knew that Zhang Wuji was a wealthy guest, so he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and said, "My lord, quickly throw two hands, you're lucky, kill him three times!" Turning his head to everyone The gambler said: "Quickly give up your seat to the young master, and everyone will give you money to lose, so that the young master can take it back to the house with both hands!" Zhang Wuji frowned, seeing that there were no people from the world among the gamblers, he raised his voice and called out: "Father, father, is your old man here?" "Have you ever seen a tall man with yellow hair come in, a man who is blind?" Seeing that he didn't come to gamble, but came to look for someone, the head of the village suddenly lost his heart and said with a smile: "It's a ridiculous joke. There is a blind man who comes to play dice? Is this blind man out of his mind?" Zhang Wuji searched for his adoptive father and disappeared, he was no longer angry. Hearing that the head of the village insulted his adoptive father, he took two steps and grabbed him.Zhang Wuji pushed away the crowd, picked up two big silver coins from the gambling table, and said, "My lord has taken the silver back to the mansion." Putting it in his arms, he strode out of the ancestral hall.All the rogues were stunned, who would dare to chase after him?Only when he was far away did he yell. He continued westward, and soon saw the flame mark again.In the evening, I arrived at Fengrun, which is a big city in northern Hebei. According to the sign, I found a place outside the white wall and black gate.But I saw that the copper ring on the door was polished brightly, and the plum blossoms were half in bloom inside the wall. It was a quiet, elegant and clean house.He took the knocker and tapped it three times.Soon the footsteps were broken, and the black door opened with a bang, and a strong fragrance was smelled in the nose. The person who answered the door was Xiaohuan wearing a pink leather jacket. Sit down, my sister is very happy!" As he spoke, he put his left hand on his shoulder. Zhang Wuji blushed, hurriedly avoided, and said, "My surname is Zhang. There is Mr. Xie and a girl named Zhou, but are they here?" Xiaohuan laughed and said, "This is Lixiangyuan, what are you looking for?" Zhou Xianxian, it's time to go to Bitaoju. Which little girl have you lost your soul and come to Lixiangyuan to find Zhou Xianxian? Hee hee!" Zhang Wuji suddenly realized that this place was actually a brothel, he said: "I'm sorry." He turned around and left.That Xiaohuan chased her out, and shouted: "Master, what is my elder sister inferior to Zhou Xianxian? You can't sit still for a moment?" Zhang Wuji waved his hands again and again, and flew away. After such a commotion, I couldn't calm down for a while, seeing that the sky was getting dark, I was afraid that I would miss the flame mark by the roadside at night, so I found an inn to rest, and my mind was full of thoughts: "Why did the adoptive father go to the casino and the brothel again? What is the meaning behind this old man's move?" After sleeping until midnight, he suddenly woke up: "Ye father is blind, how could he leave so many marks clearly along the way? Could it be that the enemy deliberately faked the marks of the teaching, To tease me? Even lure me into ambush? Hmph, even if it is a dragon's lake or a tiger's den, I have to break into him anyway." The next morning, I got up and found the flame mark outside Fengrun City, still pointing to the west.When I arrived at Yutian in the afternoon, I saw that the sign pointed to a big family.Lanterns and festoons were hung outside the door of this house, and a wedding was being held. On the lanterns were written the words "Son Yugui" in red. It seemed that the daughter was getting married.Zhang Wuji learned his lesson this time, he no longer inquired directly about Xie Xun's whereabouts, he mixed with the congratulatory group to observe, and if he saw nothing unusual, he immediately went out to look for the mark, and finally found it next to a big tree. The flame mark led him from Yutian to Sanhe, and turned south to Xianghe.At this moment he had already thought: "Most likely the beggars found my tracks, and they used the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to lure me far away, so that I can let go of that sinister deed." Although he was anxious, he didn't dare to go against the mark, I'm afraid the mark was indeed left by Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo. "If they are being chased by a powerful enemy, and when they flee, they leave marks along the road, hoping that I will rush to rescue them. If I think I am wise and go back to Lulong, and my adoptive father and Zhiruo are killed because of this, then what should I do? The matter has come to this point, the only way to find out is to follow the flame mark and chase him." From Xianghe to Baocheng, then to Dabaizhuang and Panzhuang, heading southeast, and then to Ninghe, since then the flame mark has disappeared without a trace and can never be found again.He inspected Ninghe carefully and found nothing abnormal, he thought: "Sure enough, the gang of beggars lured me here and told me to run around for a few days in vain." Immediately, he bought a horse, went back to Lulong, bought a white robe at a second-hand clothing store, borrowed a Chinese ink brush, and drew a huge flame on the white robe, determined to fight against the leader of the Beggars Gang Church.
He put on a white robe, and strode to the door of the rich man's mansion, only to see two huge red doors tightly closed, and the copper nails the size of a bowl on the door gleamed.He pushed out with both palms, and with a bang, the two gates flew up and fell into the courtyard. There was a bang, bang bang, and the two large goldfish bowls were smashed to pieces. During the past few days, he was worried about the safety of his adoptive father and Zhou Zhiruo, and he was repeatedly teased. He went around in circles in northern Hebei, feeling depressed and angry. At this time, he returned to the head of the beggar gang, determined to make a big fuss.He broke through the gate, walked in with great strides, his tongue burst into thunder, and shouted: "Everyone in the Beggar Clan has heard this, please ask Shi Huolong to come out and see me." In the yard stood more than a dozen four or five bag disciples from the Beggar Clan. They were startled when they saw the two gates flying up suddenly, and then saw a white-clothed young man rushing in. Immediately, seven or eight people shouted at the same time, they went up to stop them, and shouted one after another. Said: "Who? What are you doing?" Zhang Wuji shook his arms, the seven or eight disciples of the Beggar Clan fell straight out with bang bang bang bang, they only smashed into a row of long windows.He walked through the hall, slammed his palm, and knocked the middle door away, and saw a banquet table in the middle hall, Shi Huolong was sitting in the middle.A group of beggar gang leaders heard the commotion at the gate and sent people out to inquire.Zhang Wuji came so fast, met the seven-bag disciple who hurried out to inquire on the way, grabbed it by splitting his chest, and threw it at Shi Huolong. The master who looked like a rich man sat at the bottom, saw the seven-bag disciple flying towards the mat, stretched out his arms to hug the man, and hugged him upright, but felt an overwhelming force hitting him, and his feet slammed "Thousand catty pendant", he had to stabilize his figure, but unexpectedly, Deng Deng Deng retreated seven or eight steps in a row, leaning against the big pillar with his vest, and then stopped, loosened his hands, and threw the seven bags of disciples on the ground, out of breath Come, limp all over, and fell by the pillar.Seeing this scene, all the beggars were shocked. Zhang Wuji said "Huh", full of surprises, and saw a girl sitting on the left of the round table, it was Zhou Zhiruo.Sitting next to her was Song Qingshu.Zhou Zhiruo exclaimed: "Brother Wuji!" She stood up, swayed her body, and then fell to the ground.Zhang Wuji was taken aback, he rushed forward and leaned over to hug him.Before he could straighten up, there was a slap and bang on his back, Song Qingshu gave him a slap, and he gave another beggar gang master a punch. At this moment, Zhang Wuji's Nine Suns magic power had already spread all over his body, this palm and punch hit his back, and all the force of the palm and fist was removed.He picked up Zhou Zhiruo, leaped back to the yard, and asked, "Where's foster father?" Zhou Zhiruo tremblingly said, "I...I..." Zhang Wuji asked, "How is he?" Zhou Zhiruo said, "I'll give They hit the acupuncture point..." Zhang Wuji only cared about Xie Xun, and asked: "Where's the adoptive father?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "I don't know, I was captured here for them, and I have never known the whereabouts of the foster father." Zhang Wuji massaged her leg joints a few times and let her go.Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiruo's method of tapping the acupoints is very unique, and his two massages didn't work.She was on the ground with both feet, but she seemed unable to stand up straight, as soon as she bent her knees, she sat down. The group of beggars left their seats one after another and walked to the front of the steps.Shi Huolong clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency is the leader of Mingjiao Zhang?" Zhang Wuji thought that he is the leader of a gang, so he should not lose his courtesy, so he clasped his fists back and said, "Don't dare. I am trespassing on the leader of your clan and begging for help." Master Shi Gang forgives the crime of rudeness." Shi Huolong said: "Master Zhang has been famous all over the world in recent years, and I am like a thunder... This is the best, seeing my brother's skills today, he is really powerful, damn it, admire, admire !" Zhang Wuji said: "I'm being reckless here, and Gang Leader Shi laughed at me. Where is my adoptive father, the Golden Retriever Lion King? Please come out and meet him." Shi Huolong blushed, and then he laughed and said, "Master Zhang is young, but he speaks so vilely. We are so kind, please thank the lion king for coming... come here... have a glass of wine, but thank the lion king He left without saying goodbye, and severely injured eight disciples of our gang, his grandma. I don’t know how to calculate this account? But I have to ask Master Zhang to make a plan.” Zhang Wuji was startled, and thought: "Those eight beggar gang disciples were indeed killed by my adoptive father with heavy fists. It seems that the old man is no longer here, but where is he?" He said, "Where is Miss Zhou?" Why did your gang imprison her here?" Shi Huolong was stunned, and said: "This..." Chen Youliang interjected, "It was said that although Zhang Wuji was strong in martial arts, he was an unreasonable little devil. I met you today Haha..." Zhang Wuji said, "Why am I so unreasonable?" Chen Youliang said: "This Miss Zhou is the head of the Emei Sect, a leader of a well-known decent sect. What does it have to do with the heretics of your sect? This Song Qingshu brother is a rising star of the Wudang Sect. He and Miss Zhou are both talented and beautiful, and they are the perfect match. The two of them passed by here, and the beggar gang invited them to be guests and have a drink together. Why did the leader of Mingjiao intervene? It’s so funny, so funny!” The group of beggars echoed and laughed loudly. Zhang Wuji said: "If Miss Zhou is your guest, why did you order her acupuncture points?" Chen Youliang said: "Miss Zhou has been drinking here, talking and laughing freely. Who said that her acupuncture points were tapped? The Beggars' Clan and the Emei Sect have a deep relationship and have been friends for generations. The founder of the Emei Sect, Guo Nvxia, is the previous generation of our gang. The biological daughter of the leader of our gang. The previous leader of our gang, Yelu, was the sister-in-law of Guo Nvxia. If there are no ignorant people in the martial arts world, they should know these historical facts. How can our beggar gang offend the current head of the Emei sect? Leader Zhang is talking nonsense , why not be ridiculed by the heroes of the world?" Zhang Wuji sneered and said: "So Miss Zhou ordered her own acupuncture point?" Chen Youliang said: "That's not necessarily the case. Everyone here saw it with their own eyes. Master Zhang flew over, raped Miss Zhou, and hugged Miss Zhou. Ms. Zhou struggled and refused to accept, so your lord tapped her acupoints. Master Zhang, although a hero is sad to be a beauty, but in such a public place, under the watchful eyes of everyone, isn’t Master Zhang’s hasty behavior too disrespectful? ?” Zhang Wuji's eloquence is far inferior to Chen Youliang's, and when he bites back like this, under the rage, it is even more difficult to distinguish, his face was livid with anger, and he shouted: "In this way, you must not want to tell my adoptive father's whereabouts. "Chen Youliang said loudly: "Master Zhang, Yang Xiao, the emissary of light of your sect, who raped and murdered Ji Xiaofu of the Emei sect back then, and everyone in the martial arts circles all over the world condemned you. As if you are relying on your martial arts skills, you are doing such a despicable and dirty deed again. I'm afraid I can't escape justice." Zhang Wuji turned his head and said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Zhiruo, just tell me, how did they kidnap you here?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "I...I...I..." He said three "I" words, Suddenly, he leaned over and passed out. The group of beggars clamored and shouted: "Mingjiao Mitou has killed someone!" "Zhang Wuji failed to force rape, and killed the head of the Emei Sect!" Zhang Wuji was furious, stepped forward, and rushed towards Shi Huolong, thinking: "To capture the thief, first capture the king, as long as Shi Huolong is caught, at least it will land on him, and force to find out the whereabouts of the adoptive father." The leader of the palm stick and the law enforcement elder both stopped him.Zhang Bang Longtou swung the iron rod, the law enforcement elder had a steel hook in his right hand, an iron crutch in his left hand, two people with three weapons, and hit him at the same time.Zhang Wuji let out a clear whistle, Qian Kun Da Nuo moved his mind, and with a clanging sound, the law enforcement elder's right hand steel hook parried the iron rod of the palm dragon's head, and his left hand single-handedly smashed it under his side. The elder Chuan Gong next to him handed out his long knife, and shouted: "This kid has weird martial arts, everyone be careful." Two whirring knives, strong and fierce, even cut Zhang Wuji's chest and abdomen.Seeing his fierce moves, Zhang Wuji shouted: "Good saber technique!" Dodging sideways, his left index finger pointed at his thigh.The elder Chuan Gong turned his long saber in a circle, and the horizontal saber sliced ​​off Zhang Wuji's finger.This change of move is quick, and the blade's attack is even more accurate. This single sword is already a rare brilliant move in the martial arts.Zhang Wuji secretly praised in his heart: "The Beggar Clan is famous all over the world, and it has lasted for a hundred years. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Clan, there are really outstanding talents." That day in the Maitreya Temple, I saw the two elders of Xuanming fighting with the masters of the Beggar Clan, but they were hiding under the tree Among them, he didn't dare to poke his head, and what he saw was not clear. Only when he fought in person at this moment, did he know that the two elders of imparting skills and enforcing the law are enough to be ranked as the world's first-class masters.The fire of the palm stick and dragon head is relatively low, but it is only slightly inferior. I also think that Fang Dongbai, who is under Zhao Min's "Le, Arm Sword", was also an elder of the beggar gang. The gang has been around for hundreds of years, and the master of the gang is indeed have to. In a short while, the three elders of the beggar gang had already exchanged more than twenty moves with Zhang Wuji.Chen Youliang suddenly yelled loudly: "Pull out the dog array!" The group of beggars shouted loudly, their knives shone like snow, twenty-one beggar gang masters each held a scimitar, and surrounded Zhang Wuji in Gaixin.These twenty-one people either sang the lotus flower falling, or groaned in pain, or stretched out their fists and punched their chests, or shouted: "Master, madam, give me alms!" Zhang Wuji was startled at first, and then he understood that these strange shouts and behaviors , designed to disturb the enemy's mind.I saw that the group of beggars walked in a chaotic manner, advancing and retreating, but they were rigorous and lawful. Zhang Bang Longtou shouted: "Everyone, come on!" The iron stick pointed at his chest, and the hook and crutch of the law enforcement elder also danced into two balls of snowflakes, rushing towards him.Zhang Wuji rushed to the left first, but his body slanted to the right. Qian Kun's great teleportation technique made him come out, but he saw the white light flashing again and again, and there was a constant sound of puffing, and the scimitars in the hands of the beggars in the dog beating formation made him let him go. Take it off and throw it up, and put all the handles on the main beam of the hall.Twenty-one scimitars are neatly lined up in a row, and each of them is not as good as a tree. Chen Youliang suddenly heard shouting: "Zhang Wuji, are you still going to stop?" Zhang Wuji turned his head and saw Chen Youliang holding another long sword in his hand, the point of the sword was pointing at Zhou Zhiruo's back heart.At this time Zhou Zhiruo had already woken up, but she had no strength to resist. Zhang Wuji sneered and said: "For a hundred years in the world, it has been said that 'Mingjiao, Beggars' Gang, and Shaolin School', Mingjiao is the top sect, and gangs push the Beggars' Gang to be respected, so you are not afraid of insulting Hong Qigong's reputation as an old hero? " The elder Chuan Gong said angrily: "Elder Chen, let go of Miss Zhou, we will fight to the death with the leader Zhang. The beggar gang put all their strength into it, and they couldn't take down the leader of the Ming religion alone. We all have the face to make such a terrible plan. Do you want to be human?" Chen Youliang smiled and said, "A real man would rather fight wits than strength. Zhang Wuji, are you still not tied?" Zhang Wuji laughed loudly and said, "Forget it! Today, Zhang Wuji saw the majesty of the Beggar Clan." Suddenly he took two steps back, made a hollow somersault backwards, and landed in the air, his feet were already on the shoulders of the leader of the Beggar Clan, Shi Huolong.He placed his right palm flat on Shi Huolong's forehead, and his left palm held the meridians on the back of his neck.This move of holy fire makes martial arts so easy to succeed, even Zhang Wuji himself was quite surprised.His original intention was to use a strange trick to deceive Shi Huolong by surprise, and he had three tricks in mind to catch Shi Huolong as quickly as lightning. He was afraid that Chen Youliang would be cruel and merciless, and maybe he would really attack Zhou Zhiruo. Poisonous hands.Unexpectedly, the three powerful killers he had thought of could not execute any one of the three moves. Shi Huolong was captured without parrying.He was riding on Shi Huolong's shoulders, like a child playing with an adult. The group of beggars exclaimed in unison when they saw the gang leader was captured.Zhang Wuji's right hand flatly pressed the Baihui acupoint on Shi Huolong's top gate, that Baihui acupoint is at the intersection of the Foot Taiyang Meridian and the Du Meridian, and is the largest acupoint on the human body. He only needed to spit out lightly, and Shi Huolong's meridians would be broken immediately And die.None of the beggars dared to move.After shouting for a while, the hall was suddenly silent, everyone stared at Zhang Wuji and Shi Huolong with wide eyes, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, the sound of several zithers and flutes singing softly from the roof was suddenly heard, as if several Yaoqins and several Dongxiaos were playing at the same time.The music was faint and melodious, faintly present, but everyone could hear it very clearly, but it was coming from east and west, no one knew which side of the roof it was coming from.Zhang Wuji was amazed, he didn't know what the sound of the zither and flute meant.Chen Youliang said loudly: "Where is an expert coming to the Beggars' Clan? If you teach the demons clearly, you might as well show up here. Why pretend to be a ghost?" The sound of the Yaoqin rang three times in a row, and suddenly four girls in white clothes floated into the courtyard from the east and west eaves, each holding a Yaoqin in their hands.These four harps are half shorter and half narrower than ordinary lyres, but they also have seven strings.After the four girls fell down, they stood in four directions in the courtyard.Following the door, four girls in black clothes walked in, each holding a long black flute in their hands, but this flute was half as long as the common hole flute.The four girls in black also stood in the four corners.Four whites and four blacks stand crossed.The Yaoqin and Dongxiao in the hands of the eight women seem to be made of metal, with long and short dimensions, which can be used as offensive and defensive weapons. The eight girls stood in their positions, and the four Yaoqins sounded the melody, and then the Dongxiao joined the ensemble, the music was extremely soft and elegant.Zhang Wuji didn't understand music, but felt that the music was melodious and pleasant, even though he was in an extremely urgent situation, he would like to listen to it for a while longer. Amidst the melodious music, a woman in a light yellow shirt walked slowly, holding a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in her left hand.The woman was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, graceful and beautiful, but her face was too pale to have any color.The girl was ugly, with her nostrils upturned and her mouth wide, revealing two big front teeth, she had a vicious look.She held the beautiful woman in one hand, but in the other hand she held a green bamboo stick. When the group of beggars saw the two women coming in, they all stared at the green bamboo stick in unison.Seeing so many women coming in, Zhang Wuji felt that he was still riding on Shi Huolong's shoulders, it was too childish, but Chen Youliang's sword was not far from Zhou Zhiruo's heart, he couldn't easily let the beggar gang leader go.But seeing the group of beggars all staring at the bamboo stick in the girl's hand, it seems that the bamboo stick is the only thing that is the most important thing in the world, such as the girl in white, the girl in black, the beautiful woman in yellow, and this ugly girl herself. , everyone ignores it.He was secretly surprised, when he looked at the bamboo stick, he saw that the whole body of the stick was green, smooth and smooth, it had been rubbed and handled by many people over the years, but other than that, it was the same. The beauty in the yellow shirt turned her gaze, like two flashes of cold lightning, passing over everyone in the hall, and finally stopped on Zhang Wuji's face, and said coldly: "Master Zhang, you are not too young, and you are not doing serious things, but here you are." You messing around." There was a hint of reproach in these few words, but the words were quite friendly, like an elder sister teaching a younger brother. Zhang Wuji blushed, and argued: "Elder Chen of the beggar gang used despicable means to restrain my... my companions, so I had no choice but to capture their leader." Riding a horse, isn't it too much? I came from Chang'an, and I heard someone on the road explain that the leader of the sect is a little devil, I saw you today, alas, alas!" As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, with a look of disapproval. Shi Huolong suddenly yelled: "Zhang Wuji, you little bastard, come down quickly!" He wanted to stretch out his hand to pull his leg, but he couldn't use any strength because the meridians in the back of his neck were being taken.Zhang Wuji was ashamed and angry when he heard him scolding himself as a "little prostitute" in front of women and Taoists, a surge of internal force from his left hand penetrated through the back of his neck.Shi Huolong's whole body was sore and numb, and he couldn't help moaning loudly, "Ah yo, ah yo". The group of beggars saw that the enemy was so rude, but the leader of the gang was so weak. They were all ashamed and angry. They all felt that Shi Huolong moaned loudly under the hands of the enemy. The leader of the big gang, even an ordinary disciple of the beggar gang, shouldn't show weakness to the enemy like this. Chen Youliang said: "Zhang Wuji, if you let go of our Gang Leader Shi, how about I withdraw the sword?" He didn't wait for the other party's consent, and immediately put the sword back into its sheath.He expected that this move would be effective, and sure enough Zhang Wuji said: "Very good." After a flash, he was already standing beside Zhou Zhiruo, but seeing that her brows were deeply furrowed and her expression was tired, he couldn't help feeling sorry for her, and helped her in the court Sit down on a stone drum stool. Chen Youliang turned to the beautiful woman in the yellow shirt, cupped his hands and said, "Fang Jia has come to our gang, what advice do you have? Can I show you your name?" Then he asked the ugly girl: "Little girl, you are a bamboo Where did the stick come from?" The beautiful woman in the yellow shirt said coldly: "Where is Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun? Please come out and meet him." Zhang Wuji was very surprised when he heard the words "Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun", but he saw Chen Youliang's face suddenly changed Discoloration.But his expression quickly calmed down, and he said calmly: "Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun? That's the master of the golden-haired lion king Xie Xun. You should ask the leader of Mingjiao Zhang." The beauty in yellow said: "Who is your Excellency?" Chen Youliang Said: "My surname is Chen, and the cursive character is Youliang. I am the elder of the eight bags of the beggar gang." The beauty in the yellow shirt turned her lips to Shi Huolong, and asked, "Who is this guy? He looks very handsome, why is he so pusty? Give me a little treatment, even if he yells, he doesn't look good!" The group of beggars felt ashamed and secretly ashamed, some looked at Shi Huolong with contempt and anger.Chen Youliang said: "This is the head of the Shi Gang. He has recently recovered from a serious illness and is not feeling well. You are a guest, and we will give you three points. If you talk nonsense again, you will not be offended." Speaking of the last two sentences, Already stern. The beauty in the yellow shirt looked indifferent, and said to a girl in black: "Xiao Cui, return that letter to him." The girl in black replied: "Yes!" in hand.Zhang Wuji glanced at it, and saw on the cover that it said: "Mian Chen Mingjiao Han Uncle Shan Tong personally signed it", and another line was written in four small characters: "The history of the beggar gang". When Zhang Bang Longtou saw the letter, his face turned purple immediately, and he cursed: "Little maidservant, it turns out that the thief who played tricks on me on the way is the one who died." He raised his iron rod and was about to rush Go forward and fight.The girl in black giggled, and said, "I'm dead, but I'm not dead. Such a big man can't even read a letter, so don't be shy." She raised her slender hand, and the letter went smoothly toward The dragon head of the palm stick flew over.The palm stick leader immediately grabbed it. That night Zhang Wuji saw Shi Huolong order Zhang Banglongtou to deliver a letter to Han Shantong, using Han Lin'er as a threat to force him to surrender to the Beggars' Clan. Hearing this conversation, he knew that it must be those girls in white and black playing with Zhang Banglongtou on the way. stole his letters, so that he was forced to return to Lulong.But Zhang Bang Longtou is very skilled in martial arts, listening to his words, he didn't know who was playing tricks on him until now, then if these eight girls don't have extraordinary Gong Zhi, or they have extremely high martial arts, it's more likely that they are those黄衫美女暗中主持,将一位丐帮高手耍得团团乱转。想到此处,不禁对那黄衫女子好生感激。 那黄衫女子说道:“韩山童起义淮泗,驱逐鞑子,道路传言,都说他仁厚好义,不扰百姓。既是这么一位英雄人物,岂能为了儿子而背叛明教,投降丐帮?你们就算将这信送到韩大爷手中,那也只自讨没趣而已。我见这位龙头大哥糊涂得可笑,又因丐帮中有件大事,须他亲自在场,才截下他的信来。” 张无忌抱拳道:“多谢大姊援手相助,张无忌有礼。”黄衫女子还了一礼,道:“不必客气。”她又向丐帮众人道:“你们以为擒住了韩林儿,便能逼迫韩山童投降么?掌棒龙头大哥,那日你在道上接连受阻,以为改行小道,便能避过么?嘿嘿,就算避过了,这信送到韩山童手中,于你丐帮也没好处。” 陈友谅心中一动,接过那封信来,只见封皮完好无缺,撕开封皮,抽出信笑,一瞥之下,脸色登时大变。原来一封向韩山童招降的信,已变成丐帮向明教投诚的降书,文字中卑躬屈膝,极尽谦抑,自骂过去以来所作所为实属万恶不赦,自今而后,决定痛改前非,务恳明教宽宏大量,既往不咎,请收录作为下属,俾为驱赶元虏的马前先行。 黄衫女子冷笑道:“不错,这信我是瞧过啦,可不是我改的。我看了此信才知掌棒龙头早已着了人家手脚,上了大当。我念着跟丐帮上一代的渊源,不愿威名赫赫的天下第一大帮,到今日如此出丑露乖,这才截了下来。你们想想,此信由丐帮掌棒龙头亲手送到明教手中,丐帮今后还有颜面立足于江湖之上么?” 传功长老、执法长老、掌钵龙头、掌棒龙头等先后接过信来,一看之下,无不惊怒,却又不禁暗叫:“惭愧!”果如黄衫女子所言,这封卑辞奴言、没半分骨气的降书一落入明教之手,丐帮丑名扬于天下,所有丐帮弟子再难在人前直立。如此说来,黄衫女子截下这封书信,实是帮了丐帮一个大忙。然则偷换书信,却又是何人? 黑衣少女小翠笑道:“你们想问:这封信是谁换的,是不是?”丐帮不答,但人人脸上均露出急欲知晓的神色。小翠道:“掌棒龙头,你除下外袍,便知端的。” 掌棒龙头早已满脸涨得通红,颈中青筋根根凸起,听得此言,当即双手拉住外袍两边衣襟一扯,噗噗数声轻响过去,扣子尽数崩断。他向后一甩,已将外袍丢下,喝道:“那便怎地?”只听得他身后群丐齐声“咦”的惊呼,似乎瞧到了什么怪异物事。掌棒龙头道:“什么?”转过身来,只见六七人指着他的背脊。掌棒龙头更是焦躁,双手一阵乱扯,撕破内衫前襟,将贴肉的衣衫除下,露出一身虬缠纠结的肌肉,挥过内衫一瞧,只见衫上用靛青绘着一只青色大蝙蝠,双翼大张,狰狞可怖,口边点着几滴红色血点。 传功长老、执法长老等齐声叫道:“青翼蝠王韦一笑!” 韦一笑从前少到中原,声名不响,但近年来在江湖上神出鬼没、大显身手,威名之盛,已颇不下于白眉鹰王。张无忌心下暗喜:“若非韦蝠王这等来无影、去无踪的轻功,原难戏弄得这掌棒龙头全无知觉。” 掌棒龙头一怔,提起那件内衫,劈脸向张无忌打来,骂道:“好啊,原来是你们这批魔崽子戏弄老夫。”张无忌衣袖轻拂,那内衫为一股劲风带得再再上升,挂在庭中一株银杏树了枝之上,临风飘扬,衫上那只吸血大蝙蝠更显得栩栩如生。张无忌笑道:“掌棒龙头,敝教韦蝠王手下留情,你难道不知么?他当日若要取你性命,你便怎样?”掌棒龙头一想,不由自主地打个寒噤。 陈友谅心知此事越闹越臭,只有拦下不理,是为上策,问那黄衫女子道:“请问姑娘高姓,不知与我们有何渊源?” 黄衫女子冷笑道:“跟你们有什么渊源?我只跟这根打狗棒有些渊源。”说着向丑女童手中的青竹棒一指。 群丐早认出这是本帮帮主信物打狗棒,却不明何以会落入旁人手中,各人的眼光都瞧着史火龙,但见他脸色惨白,不知所措。传功长老问道:“帮主,这女孩拿着的打狗棒,是假的么?”史火龙道:“我……我看多半是假的。” 黄衫女子道:“好,那么你将真的打狗棒取将出来,比对比对。”史火龙道:“打狗棒是丐帮至宝,怎能轻易示人?我也没随身携带,若有失落,岂不糟糕?”群丐一听,都觉这句话不成体统,身为丐帮帮主,怎会怕打狗棒失落? 那女童高举竹棒,大声道:“大家来看。这打狗棒是本帮……本帮一代代传下来的棒儿,怎么会假?”群丐听她口称“本帮”,暗自惊奇,走近细看,见这棒晶润如玉,坚硬胜铁,确是本帮帮主的信物打狗棒无疑。各人面面相觑,不明其理。 黄衫女子道:“素闻丐帮帮主以降龙十八掌及打狗棒法二大神功驰名天下。小虹,你先向史帮主讨教讨教降龙十八掌的功夫。小玲,你待小虹姊姊胜了之后,再向史帮主讨教讨教打狗棒法的功夫。”两名手持长箫的少女应声跃出,分站左右。 陈友谅怒道:“姑娘不肯见示姓名,已是没将丐帮放在眼中,更令两名小婢向我们帮主挑战,江湖上焉有这个道理?史帮主,待弟子先料理了这两个丫环,再来领教这位姑娘的高招。咱们要瞧瞧到底是何方高人,如此轻视丐帮。”史火龙道:“他奶奶的,很好,就请陈长老下场。”陈友谅刷的一声拔出长剑,缓步走到中庭。 那少女小虹道:“姑娘叫我讨教降龙十八掌,你会这路掌法么?使降龙十八掌是用剑的么?”陈友应谅喝道:“史帮主何等身份,怎能跟你小丫头动手过招?降龙十八掌的神功,岂是你小丫头轻易见得的?”说着又踏上一步。 黄衫女子向张无忌道:“张教主,我求你一件事。”张无忌道:“姑娘请说。”黄衫女子道:“请你将这姓陈的家伙撵了开去,将那冒充史帮主的大骗子揪将出来。” 张无忌先前只一招便将史火龙擒住,觉得他武功实在平庸之极,再想起那日韩林儿一口浓痰吐去,史火龙竟没能避开,心下早已起疑。又见他事事听陈友谅指点,自己没半点主意,凭他武功、识见,决不能为丐帮之主,这时听黄衫女子说他是“冒充帮主的大骗子”,前后一加印证,已自明白了六七成,一点头,已欺到史火龙身前。 史火龙一招“冲天炮”打出,砰的一拳,打在张无忌胸口。张无忌哈哈大笑,说道:“降龙十八掌神功,是这般脓包吗?”伸手抓住他胸口衣襟,将他提起。陈友谅自知非张无忌敌手,不等他动手,已自行退入人丛。 那丑女童突然放声大哭,扑将上来,抓住史火龙乱撕乱打,叫道:“你害死我爹爹,害死我爹爹,你这恶贼!”史火龙给张无忌拿住后心穴道,动弹不得。他身材高大,那女童的小拳头只打到他肚子。张无忌手臂一拗,将他脑袋按了下来。女童抓住他头发一扯,史火龙满头头发忽然尽皆跌落,露出油光晶亮的一个光头。原来他竟是个秃头,头上戴的是假发。乱抓之下,那女童忽然又抓下了他一块鼻子,却无鲜血流出。 众人惊奇已极,凝目细看,原来他鼻子低塌,那高鼻子也是假装的。群丐一阵大哗,齐问:“你是谁?怎地来冒充史帮主?” 张无忌提起他身子重重一顿,只摔得他七荤八素,半响说不出话来。张无忌微微一笑,自行退开,心想此人冒充史火龙,真相既然大白,自有群丐跟他算账。 掌棒龙头性如烈火,上前左右开弓,啪啪啪啪地打了他七八个重重耳光。那假帮主双颊红肿,大叫:“不干我事,不干我事。是陈……陈长老叫我干的。”执法长老心头一凛,喝道:“陈友谅呢?”却已不见陈友谅人影,料想他一见事情败露,早逃之天天。执法长老道:“快追他回来!”数名七袋弟子应声而出,追出门去。 掌棒龙头骂道:“直娘贼!你是什么东西,要老子向你磕头、叫你帮主。”提起蒲扇大的巴掌,又要往他脸上掴去。 执法长老忙伸手格开,说道:“冯兄弟不可鲁莽。你一掌打死了他,什么事都查不出来了。”转身向那黄衫女子抱拳行礼,恭恭敬敬地道:“若非姑娘拆穿此人奸谋,我们至今兀自蒙在鼓里。姑娘芳名可能见示否,敝帮上下,同感大德。” 黄衫女子淡淡一笑,道:“小女子幽居深山,自来不与外人往还,姓名也没什么用处。至于这一位小妹妹,你们之中难道没人认得她吗?” 群丐瞧着这个女童,没一人认得。传功长老忽地心念一动,踏上一步,道:“她……她……她的相貌有点像史帮主夫人哪……莫非……莫非……” 黄衫女子道:“不错,她姓史名红石,是史火龙史帮主的独生女儿。史帮主临危之时,要他夫人抱了这孩子,携带打狗棒前来找我,为他报仇雪恨。” 传功长老惊道:“姑娘,你说史帮主已经归天了?他……他老人家是怎么死的?” 丐帮神功“降龙十八掌”,在北宋年间本为二十八掌,当时帮主萧峰武功盖世,却因契丹人身份遭驱除出帮,他去繁就简,将二十八掌减了十掌,成为降龙十八掌,由义弟灵鹫宫虚竹子代传,由此世代传承。到南宋末年,虽继位帮主耶律齐得岳父郭靖传授而学全,但此后丐帮历任帮主,因根柢较欠,最多也只学到十四掌为止。史火龙所学到的共十二掌,他在二十余年之前,因苦练这门掌法时内力不济,得了上半身瘫痪之症,双臂不能转动,自此偕同妻子,到各处深山寻觅灵药治病,将丐帮帮务交与传功、执法二长老,掌棒、掌钵二龙头共同处理。 但二长老、二龙头不相统属,各管各的,帮中污衣、净衣两派又积不相能,以致偌大一个丐帮渐趋式微。待这假帮主最近突然现身,年轻的丐帮弟子从未见过帮主,而传功长老等人和史火龙一别二十余年,见这假帮主相貌甚似,又有谁想得到竟会是假冒的? 黄衫女子叹了口气,说道:“史帮主是丧生在混元霹雳手成昆的手下。” 张无忌“咦”了一声,心想自己在光明顶上亲眼见到成昆尸横就地,怎么会去杀死史火龙?那么定是他在上光明顶之前干的事了,问道:“请问姑娘,史帮主'丧生已有多久了?”黄衫女子道:“去年十月初六,距今两月有余。”张无忌道:“这就奇了。不知姑娘何以得知是成昆那老贼下的毒手?” 黄衫女子道:“史夫人言道:史帮主和一名老者连对一十二掌,那老者呕血而走,史帮主也为那老者掌力所伤。史帮主自知伤重不治,料想那老者三日之后,必定元气恢复,重来寻衅,当即向夫人嘱咐后事,说出仇人姓名,乃混元霹雳手成昆。史帮主双臂瘫痪之症,其时已愈了九成,他曾得降龙十八掌中的十二掌真传,武功已是江湖上一流高手,但竭尽全力,十二掌使完,仍难逃敌人毒手。”女童史红石听到这里,放声大哭。 传功长老脸现悲愤之色,将肮脏的衣袖为史红石擦去泪水、说道:“小世妹,帮主之仇,即我帮上下数万弟子之仇,咱们终当擒住那混元霹雳手成昆,碎尸万段,以报帮主大恨。不知你妈妈眼下在哪里?” 史红石指着黄衫女子,说道:“我妈妈在杨姊姊家里养伤。”众人直至此时,方知那黄衫美女姓杨,至于她是何等人物,仍猜不到半点端倪。 黄衫女子轻轻叹了口气,说道:“史夫人中了成昆一指'幻阴指',伤势不轻,长途跋涉来到舍下,已奄奄一息,今后是否能够痊可,那也……那也难说。” 执法长老恨恨地道:“这成昆不知跟老帮主有何仇怨,竟尔下此毒手?”黄衫女子道:“据史夫人转述史帮主遗言,他和这成昆素不相识,仇怨两字,更无从说起。因此他老人家直到临终,仍不明原由。据史夫人推测,多半是丐帮中人什么地方得罪了成昆,因而找到史帮主头上。”执法长老沉吟道:“这成昆为了躲避谢逊,数十年前便已在江湖上销声匿迹,不知所终,丐帮弟子怎能和他结仇?看来其中必有重大误会。” 掌钵龙头一直在旁静听,一言不发,这时突然抓起一柄弯刀,架在那假冒史火龙的秃子颈中,喝道:“你叫什么名字?为什么胆敢假冒史帮主?快快说来,若有半字虚言,哼,哼!”说着弯刀一斜,将一张椅子劈为两半,随即又架在那秃子颈中。 那秃子吓得魂不附体,道:“我……我……小人名叫癞头鼋刘敖,本是山西解县乱石冈山寨中的一名头目,那天下山做没本钱买卖,撞到了陈友谅陈长老,还有陈长老的师父……”张无忌插口问道:“陈长老的师父是谁?”那秃子刘敖道:“他师父是个老和尚,身子很瘦,武功可高得很了,叫什么法名,小人却不知道。” 执法长老沉吟道:“陈友谅出身少林派,他师父是少林寺的高僧,法名圆真,早就圆寂了。他……他还有什么师父?”张无忌道:“圆真就是混元霹雳手成昆!”于是将成昆化名圆真、混入少林寺拜神僧空见为师等情由简略说了,跟着又说圆真如何偷袭光明顶,终于为殷野王所击舞,其后尸身却又突然不见。 掌钵龙头道:“多半成昆在光明顶上并没死,他装了假死,混乱中悄悄溜走了。”张无忌道:“正是。若不是他又去和史帮主动手,害死了这位大高手,谁也不知成昆尚在人世。”掌钵龙头又问刘敖:“你遇到陈长老和他师父,却又如何?” 刘敖身子发抖,颤声道:“那天陈长老一脚将小人踢翻了,提剑要杀,小人忙磕头求饶。陈长老对小人左瞧右瞧,忽然说道:'师父,这小贼挺像咱们前天所见的那个人哪!'他师父摇头道:'嘿嘿,年纪不对,鼻子塌了,又是个秃头。'陈长老笑道:'弟子有法子弄他像来。'于是叫小人跟着他们到解县,住在客店之中。陈长老去弄了些石膏,装高了小人鼻子,又叫我戴上假的白头发,乔扮成这等模样……各位老爷,小人便有天大胆子,也不敢来戏弄诸位,只不过陈长老这么说,小人只好跟着照做。操他娘的,小人狗命一条,全捏在他手里,那……那是无可奈何。小人家中尚有八十岁的老娘,众位大爷饶命则个。”说着双膝跪倒,磕头便如捣蒜。 传功长老怒道:“原来罪魁祸首竟是陈友谅这奸贼。他师徒二人野心勃勃,妄图独霸天下,是以害死了史帮主,命这小毛贼冒充,做他们傀儡,再想进一步挟制明教,笼络少林、武当、峨嵋三大派。这奸计不可谓不毒,野心不可谓不大。宋青书呢?宋青书到哪里去了?”各人这些时候中只注视着丐帮帮主、黄衫女子、史红石等人,没防到宋青书竟也步着陈友谅后尘,不知何时溜之大吉了。说到此时,印证各事,陈友谅的一番阴谋终于全盘暴露。传功长老向黄衫女子深深一揖,说道:“姑娘有大德于敝帮,丐帮不知何以为报。” 黄衫女子淡淡一笑,笑道:“我先人和贵帮上代渊源甚深,些些微劳,何足挂齿?这位史家小妹妹,你们好好照顾。”躬身一礼,黄影一闪,已掠上屋顶。 传功长老叫道:“姑娘且请留步。” 那四名黑衣少女、四名白衣少女一齐跃上屋顶,琴声丁冬、箫声呜咽,片刻间琴箫之声飘然远引,曲未终而入已不见,倏然而来,倏然而去。众人心下均感一阵怅惘。
传功长老携了史红石的手,向张无忌道:“张教主,且请进厅内说话。”群丐恭恭敬敬地站在一旁,请张无忌先行。张无忌走进厅内,和传功长老等分宾主坐定,周芷若坐在他肩下。张无忌请问了传功长老、执法长老诸人的姓名后,便道:“曹长老,我义父金毛狮王若在贵帮,便请出来相见,否则亦盼示知他老人家的下落。” 传功长老叹了口气,道:“陈友谅这奸贼玩弄手段,累得丐帮愧对天下英雄。不瞒张教主说,谢大侠和这位周姑娘,确是我们在关外合力请来。我们在茶水里放入了敝帮独门迷药,迷倒了谢大侠和周姑娘,就请他两位大驾到了此间。陈友谅说,要着落在谢大侠身上追寻屠龙宝刀,而周姑娘呢,则是收伏武当派和明教的香饵。六日之前的晚间,谢大侠突然击毙了看守他的敝帮弟子,脱身而去。所毙丐帮人众,棺木尚停在后院未葬。张教主若是不信,可请移驾到后院审察。” 张无忌听他言语诚恳,何况那晚丐帮弟子尸横斗室,自己亲眼目睹,便道:“曹长老既如此说,在下焉敢不信?”又问:“从卢龙一路向西,留有敝教联络的记号,在下查得却非本教兄弟所作,不知此事跟贵帮是否有关?” 传功长老道:“说不定是陈友谅那厮所作的手脚,说来惭愧,兄弟实无所知。” 张无忌点点头,转头问史红石道:“小妹妹,这位杨姊姊住在哪里?你从前识得她么?”史红石摇头道:“我从前不识。爹爹死后,妈妈同我带了爹爹的竹棒儿,坐车走了好几天,就不坐车了,上山去。妈妈走不动了,歇一歇,在地下爬了一会,后来到了树林外边。妈妈大叫几声,一个穿黑衣的小姊姊从林中出来,后来杨姊姊出来,问了妈妈许多话,拿这棒儿去了半天。后来妈妈昏了过去。后来杨姊姊便带了我,又带了八个穿白衣裳、黑衣裳的小姊姊,坐了车子来啦。”她年纪幼小,说不出个所以然,问到地名日子,也是一概不知,从她口中竟探不到半点端愧。 传功长老道:“贵教韩山童大爷的公子,尚在敝帮。”他转头吩咐了几句,一名丐帮弟子匆匆进去。过不多时,只听得韩林儿破口大骂的声音从后堂传出:“你们这些不得好死的臭叫化,又来欺骗老子!我们张教主身份何等尊贵,岂能驾临到你们这臭叫化窝来?你乘早杀了老子,要我投降,
