Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Five

Luzhangke's sneak attack happened at the same time that Zhang Wuji was using all his strength to mobilize the internal energy of the 18 foreign monks to join forces, the barriers on his back were completely withdrawn, he lost his body-protecting true energy, and the Xuanming cold poison invaded, causing serious injuries.He sat cross-legged, circulated the nine yang zhenqi in his body three times, vomited two mouthfuls of blood, and only then did he relieve the congested feeling in his chest. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Min's face was full of worry. Zhang Wuji said softly: "Miss Zhao, this pair has hurt you." Zhao Min said: "Do you still call me 'Miss Zhao' at this moment? I am no longer a member of the imperial court, nor a princess, you... In your heart, do you still think of me as a little witch?"

Zhang Wuji stood up slowly, and said, "I want to ask you something, you have to tell the truth. Did you cut the sword wound on my cousin Yin Li's face?" Zhao Min said, "No!" Zhang Wuji asked again "Did you throw her into the sea?" Zhao Min said loudly: "No way!" Zhang Wuji said: "Then who did it?" Zhao Min said: "I have no evidence at hand, so I can't tell you. .Your internal injuries are still unhealed, and asking more questions will only confuse your mind. If you find out the facts, Miss Yin was indeed killed by me, and you don't need to do anything. I will immediately apologize in front of you."

Zhang Wuji heard her categorical words, couldn't help disbelief, pondered for a while, and said: "It's probably because the Persian Mingjiao ship secretly concealed masters, cast evil spells, fascinated us together in the middle of the night, killed my cousin, and stole the Yitian Sword And Dragon Saber. After rescuing foster father, you must go to Persia and ask Xiao Zhao for clarification." Zhao Min pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "You are so eager to see Xiao Zhao, so you made up some reasons. Xiao Zhao is a very good person, and I want to see her too, so thank her face to face." Zhang Wuji wondered, "Thank you for what?"

Zhao Min said: "Thank you for telling me the truth. When Xiao Zhao said goodbye to us that day, he quietly pulled me aside and said to me: 'Miss Zhao, I am going to Persia, and I will no longer be able to take care of the leader. Although his martial arts are high, but his heart is too good, he is easy to be fooled by others, please take good care of him in the future. I know you are the leader's sweetheart, he would rather die than protect you safe and sound.' Hearing what she said, I am naturally very happy. No one has ever told me this before. I hope it will be like this, but I don’t know if it can be true. Xiao Zhao is the first to say this, of course I am grateful to her. I asked her: "How do you Know?" She said: "Of course I know. I watched from the sidelines, and I saw it long ago. I wholeheartedly want to be the leader's little girl and serve him by his side forever. Even if he marries you as his wife, I will treat him like this." '"

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji couldn't help feeling sore, Xiao Zhao's petite, sweet and lovely figure appeared in front of his eyes: "I wonder if she is safe in Persia?" Zhao Min said again: "That night, I was hit by Shixiang Ruanjinsan Poison..." Zhang Wuji wondered, "Why did you get poisoned by Shixiang Ruanjin Powder?" Zhao Min said: "If I wasn't poisoned, why would someone take the Yitian Sword and be thrown into the sea?" Zhang Wuji asked again: "You are also thrown into the sea?" Zhao Min nodded and said: "Then In the evening, I was shocked by the sea water, drank a few sips of water, vomited a lot of poisonous water, and finally cleared my mind. Fortunately, my water skills were not bad and I was not drowned, but my heart was in a state of confusion. I don’t know how long I was drifting. A fishing boat passed by and rescued me. I was in a daze and couldn’t ask them to send me back to the deserted island. I didn’t know I had returned to the mainland until the fishing boat docked. I asked the fisherman on the boat if he knew that They couldn't answer the location of the deserted island. Later, I fell seriously ill, and when I could barely get up, I immediately returned to the palace and sent sailors to the small islands along the coast to look for you."

Zhang Wuji felt pity and gratitude when he heard this, but he was speechless for a moment. Zhao Min smiled slightly, and said: "Let's heal our wounds earlier, and it's serious to go to Shaolin Temple." Zhang Wuji wondered, "Why are you going to Shaolin Temple?" Zhao Min said, "Thank you, hero." Is foster father really imprisoned in Shaolin Temple?" Zhao Min said: "I don't know the twists and turns. But it is absolutely true that Xie Daxia is in the Shaolin Temple. Let me tell you, there is a dead man under my command who became a monk in the Shaolin Temple. He gave up his life to bring The news came out." Zhang Wuji asked: "Why did you give up your life?" Zhao Min said: "To prove to me, my subordinate tried to cut off a bundle of Xie Daxia's yellow hair. But Shaolin Temple guards Xie Daxia very closely, my subordinate After taking out the hair and going out of the temple, I finally found it, with two palms in my body, struggling to send the hair to my hands, and died soon after."

Zhang Wuji said: "Hey! That's amazing!" The word "excellent" did not know whether it was to praise Zhao Min's ability, Cheng Kun's vicious methods, or the sinister situation at that time.He was troubled in his heart and affected his inner breath, so he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.Although Mingjiao also sent people from Shaolin Temple to investigate, but because Shaolin Temple strictly blocked the news, they found nothing. Zhao Min said anxiously: "I knew you were hurt so badly, and you couldn't hold your breath, so I wouldn't tell you." Zhang Wuji sat down and leaned against the rock, trying to rest his mind, but Concerned about it, he was confused, unable to calm down, and said: "The Shaolin god monk Kongjian, let my adoptive father beat him to death with the Qishang fist. Shaolin monks and laymen have vowed to avenge this for more than 20 years, not to mention that Cheng Kun is here Shaolin Temple became a monk. My adoptive father fell into their hands, so where is my life left?"

Zhao Min said: "Don't worry, there is one thing that can save Daxia Xie's life." Zhang Wuji hurriedly asked: "What is it?" "Wulin Supreme", the leader of Shaolin School for hundreds of years, is willing to get this precious sword. In order to get the sword, they will not easily harm Xie Xun, but humiliate him, it is inevitable. Zhao Min said again: "I think the matter of saving Hero Xie was due to the fact that you and I did it secretly. Although there are many Mingjiao heroes, if they attack Shaolin in a big way, both sides will suffer a lot. If the Shaolin sect can't resist the Mingjiao Attacking, its momentum can no longer keep Xie Daxia, maybe they will make a bad plan and kill him."

Hearing that she was thoughtful, Zhang Wuji was grateful, and said, "Sister Min, you are right." The first time Zhao Min heard him call herself "Sister Min", she felt so sweet in her heart, but when she thought about it, she thought of the kindness of her parents and the love between siblings, all of which have been lost since then, and she couldn't help but feel sad.Zhang Wuji guessed her intentions, but he couldn't comfort her, he just thought: "She has entrusted me in this life, I don't know how to repay her kindness? Zhiruo and I have a marriage contract, but how can I bear it? Alas! The matter in front of me is to try to rescue the adoptive father, and I will put aside the love of my son and daughter." Standing up vigorously, he said: "Let's go!"

Seeing that his face was pale, Zhao Min knew that his injury was serious, she frowned slightly, and muttered: "My father loves me, it's okay, I'm just afraid that my brother won't forgive me. Within two hours, as long as my brother If he can manage to leave father temporarily, he will send someone to arrest us and go back." Zhang Wuji nodded, remembering that Wang Baobao acted resolutely, he is a formidable person, he was not expected to give up so easily, now both of them are seriously injured, if they go west to Shaolin, Every step is full of thorns and thorns, and I am at a loss what to do for a while.Zhao Min said: "We must leave this dangerous place urgently, and we will make a decision when we reach the foot of the mountain."

Zhang Wuji nodded, and staggered to lead the horse, when he was about to get on the horse, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, but he couldn't get on it.Zhao Min pushed hard with his right arm, gritted his teeth, and sent him to the horse's back, but with such force, a lot of blood flowed from the wound on his chest stabbed by the dagger.She struggled to get on the horse and sat behind him.Originally it was Zhang Wuji who helped her, but now it was instead asking her to reach out to help her.The two gasped for a while, and then they galloped forward, followed by another horse. The two of them rode down the mountain together, and they simply walked to the main road, turned eastward, so as not to run into Wang Baobao.After walking for a while, he embarked on a small path.The two of them were a little relieved, they expected that Wang Baobao would send people to hunt them down, and it would not be easy to find this remote path, as long as they wait until dark and go deep into the mountains, there will be a turning point. As he was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and two horses galloped towards him.Zhao Min turned pale, hugged Zhang Wuji's waist, and said: "My brother came so fast, we were hard-pressed, and finally it's hard to get rid of his murderous hand. Brother Wuji, let me go back home with him, try to beg father, we will meet Xu Tu later. As long as heaven and earth last, we will never lose each other." Zhang Wuji smiled wryly and said, "Brother Ling may not be willing to let me go." As soon as he said this, the distance between the two horses behind him was no more than a few tens of feet. Zhao Min pulled Ma Rang to the side of the road, drew out his dagger, he had made up his mind, if there was room for maneuver, he should use his own plan to escape, if his elder brother decided to kill Zhang Wuji, the two of them would die together.But seeing the two horses rushing to the side, they didn't stop. The riders on the horses were two Mongolian soldiers, passing by them, they only had a quick glance, and then moved forward. Zhao Min just said in his heart: "Thank God, it turned out to be just two ordinary soldiers, and they didn't come here to chase us." Seeing that the two Yuan soldiers had already slowed down their horses, they discussed a few words, then suddenly circled the horse's head and galloped to beside the two.A Yuan soldier with a full beard shouted: "Wu those two barbarians, where did you steal these two fine horses?" Listening to his tone, Zhao Min knew that he was envious when he saw the horse his father gave him.King Ruyang's two horses are extremely handsome, with gold stirrups and silver leashes, they are extraordinarily luxurious.The Mongols love horses like their lives, so why not be indifferent to them?Zhao Min thought to himself: "Although the two horses are a gift from my father, if these two villains want to fight each other by force, I have to give them to them." In Mongolian, he said: "Which general are you under? How dare you attack me? So rude?" The Mongolian soldier was stunned, and asked: "Who is Miss?" He saw that the two men were dressed in luxurious clothes, and the two horses on their laps were even more extraordinary, and hearing that she spoke Mongolian fluently, he did not dare to be presumptuous. Zhao Min said: "I am the daughter of General Hua'er, this is my elder brother. The two of us were injured by robbers on the road." The two Mongolian soldiers looked at each other and laughed loudly.The bearded soldier said loudly: "If you don't do it, don't stop, just kill these two dolls." He drew his waist knife and galloped over.Zhao Min was startled and said, "What are you doing? I will tell the general that you two will be quartered and killed by four horses." "Quartering corpses by four horses" is a severe punishment in the Mongolian army. , the long whip is swung, the four horses run together, and immediately tear the prisoner into four pieces, which is the cruelest punishment. The bearded soldier grinned and said, "Hua Buchi can't defeat the Mingjiao rebels, but they beheaded their subordinates randomly and took revenge on our little soldiers. The army mutinied yesterday, and your father was chopped into meat paste. I bumped into you two puppies here." , that would be great." He raised his knife and chopped off his head.As soon as Zhao Min lifted the reins, he steered his horse to dodge.That soldier was about to be chased and killed, another yuan soldier shouted: "Don't kill this little girl who looks like a flower, we brothers will try to have a good time first." The bearded soldier said: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Zhao Min's thoughts moved slightly, and he got off his horse and fled to the side of the road. Two Mongolian soldiers dismounted and chased after them.Zhao Min let out an "Ah yo" and fell to the ground.The bearded soldier rushed forward and reached out to press her vest.Zhao Min bumped his elbow back and hit the key point in his chest, the bearded soldier didn't even hum, and rolled to the side.The other yuan soldier didn't see that he had been tricked, so he rushed forward, and Zhao Min followed suit, hitting his acupoint again.These two strokes hit the acupoints, she usually took no effort, but now she was so tired that she was out of breath, her head was covered in cold sweat, and her whole body seemed to be about to collapse. She stood up, helped Zhang Wuji off the horse, drew the dagger in her hand, and shouted: "You two thieves who have committed trouble, do you want to die?" Feeling, but also sore, only thought that Zhao Min followed and wanted to kill the two of them, unexpectedly, wanting to hear what she said, there was a glimmer of life, and hurriedly said: "Girl, spare your life! General Hua'er is not a villain Harm." Zhao Min said: "Okay, if Yide has something to do with me, I will spare your lives." The two Yuan soldiers ignored the difficulty, and immediately agreed: "Yide! Yide!" Zhao Min pointed to his mount, and said: "The two of you rode these two horses and rushed eastward. In one day and one night, you have to travel three hundred miles. The faster the better, there must be no mistakes." Looking at each other in blank dismay, never dreamed that her order would be such a good job, it was expected that what she said must be ironic.The bearded soldier said: "Girl, the villain is so bold that he doesn't dare to ask for the girl's mount..." Zhao Min stopped him and said: "The matter is urgent, get on the horse quickly. If anyone asks on the road , you only need to say that these two horses were bought in the market, and you must not mention the description of the two of us, do you understand?" The two Mongolian soldiers were still skeptical, but Zhao Min couldn't help urging her repeatedly, thinking that even if this move was fraudulent, it would be better than letting her be stabbed to death with a dagger on the spot, so they pleaded guilty, walked over step by step, and turned on the saddle.Mongolians grew up on horseback since they were young. Riding a horse is easier than walking. Although the hands and feet are stiff, they can still control the horse.The second soldier was afraid that Zhao Min would be confused for a while, and then he would regret it. After riding a few feet away, his legs clamped sharply, and he galloped away on the horse. Zhang Wuji said: "That's a very high idea. When your elder brother saw these two fine horses, he would have guessed that the two of us had already headed east. Where are we heading now?" Zhao Min said: "We are heading southwest, of course. .” The two got on the mounts left by the Mongolian soldiers, and they did not follow the road in the wilderness, heading towards the southwest.
The road was full of rough rocks and thorns, which only pierced the legs of the two horses, which limped and staggered, and only traveled about twenty miles in an hour.It was getting dark, and suddenly a wisp of cooking smoke rose from the mountain depression.Zhang Wuji said happily: "There is a family in front, so let's go and stay overnight." Walking closer, he saw a corner of the yellow wall exposed between the big trees, which turned out to be a temple. Zhao Min helped Zhang Wuji get off the horse, turned the heads of the two horses to the west, picked up a thorn branch from the ground, and whipped the horses' buttocks several times.The two horses neighed long and galloped away.She placed ambushes everywhere, but only wanted to distract Wang Baobao's pursuers. The two supported each other and went to the front of the temple. They saw the three characters "Huguo Temple" written on the plaque on the gate.Zhao Min lifted the door knocker and knocked three times. After a long while, no one answered, he knocked three more times. Suddenly, a gloomy voice was heard from inside the door saying: "Is it a person or a ghost? Are you here to hold up the corpse?" With rattling sounds, the door slowly opened, and a figure appeared behind the wooden door.It was dusk at that time, and the man was backlit, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he was a monk with a bald head and monk clothes. Zhang Wuji said: "On the way to the two brothers and sisters, I encountered robbers and were seriously injured. Please stay overnight in the treasure temple. Please be merciful." .” He wanted to close the door.Zhao Min hurriedly said: "Convenience with others and convenience for yourself may not be of no benefit to you." The monk said, "What's the benefit?" . The monk saw that each earring was inlaid with a pearl the size of a little finger, looked at the two of them again, and said: "Okay, it's convenient for others, convenient for yourself." He turned sideways to the side.Zhao Min supported Zhang Wuji and walked in.The monk led the two of them through the main hall and the courtyard to the east wing, and said, "You can stay here." There was no light or fire in the room, it was dark, Zhao Min touched the bed, there was only a straw mat on the bed, let alone anything else. Only a loud voice from outside called out: "Fourth brother Hao, who did you bring in?" The monk said: "Two guests staying overnight." He said and stepped out.Zhao Min said: "Master, please donate two bowls of rice and a plate of vegetarian dishes." The monk said: "Monks eat ten recipes, don't give alms!"Zhao Min said bitterly: "This monk is disgusting! Brother Wuji, are you hungry? We need to get some food." Suddenly there were footsteps in the yard, seven or eight people came, the fire flickered, the door was pushed open, and two monks held up candlesticks to shine on them.From Zhang Wuji's glance, there were eight monks, tall and short, some with big eyebrows and big eyes, some with fleshy faces, but none of them looked good. An old monk with a wrinkled face said: "How many gold, silver and jewels do you have on your body? Take them out together." Zhao Min said: "What are you doing?" We need to do something big, rebuild the mountain gate, and then install the golden body. The gold, silver and jewels on the two of you should be donated together. If you are stingy and refuse, you will offend the Bodhisattva, and you will be in trouble." Zhao Min said angrily: "That is not an act of robbers What?" said the old monk, "Sins, sins. Our eight brothers murdered and set fires. They were originally robbers. Recently, they put down their butcher knives and became Buddhas on the spot. They became monks so-so. The two benefactors were destined, and the fat sheep came to the door by itself. , Alas, it will be so tiring that we monks will not be able to purify our six faculties.” Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min were taken aback, they didn't expect these eight monks to be converted from bandits, since this old monk was outspoken, he intended to kill someone, otherwise he would never have revealed his secrets. ' Another monk said with a smirk: "Don't be afraid, the female benefactor. We eight monks and robbers are missing a lady who is in charge of the temple. You are born with such a beautiful face. If the real Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva came down to earth, the Tathagata Buddha will also be tempted when he sees it. Wonderful! Wonderful !" Zhao Min took out seven or eight ingots of gold and a string of beads from his bosom, put them on the table, and said, "All the treasures and jewels are here. My brothers and sisters are also from the martial arts world, so you must take care of your righteousness in the world." The old monk smiled. Said: "The two are from the martial arts, that's the best thing, I don't know which sect they are from?" Zhao Min said: "We are the children of Shaolin." The Shaolin sect is the largest sect in the martial arts, she only hopes for these eight Even if the person is not from a collateral lineage of Shaolin, there may be some relatives and friends who have some connection with the Shaolin School. The old monk was startled for a moment, then his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said: "Is it a Shaolin disciple? What a coincidence! You two children can only blame yourself for being in the wrong sect." He stretched out his hand and pulled her wrist.Zhao Min withdrew his hand, and the old monk made nothing. Zhang Wuji saw that the situation in front of him was extremely critical, he and Zhao Min were seriously injured, and it was impossible to resist the enemy, how many famous figures in the martial arts world have passed in the past few years, but today they died at the hands of eight small bandits?No matter what, you can't just watch Zhao Min being humiliated, and said: "Sister Min, you hide behind me, and I will take care of these eight little thieves." Zhao Minkong was full of wisdom, and at this moment he was at a loss, so he asked: "Who are you?" The old monk said: "We are traitors expelled from Shaolin Temple. If you are a disciple of Shaolin, you have to be killed. Little girl, this brother originally wanted to keep you as a mistress, but now knowing that you are a disciple of Shaolin, we have to rape first and then kill, and we will not survive." Zhang Wuji said in a low voice: "Wow! You are from Yuanzhen's sect, aren't you?" The old monk said "Hey", and said: "This is strange, how do you know?" Zhao Min interjected: "We are just now I want to go to Shaolin Temple to meet Brother Chen Youliang and recommend Master Yuanzhen to be the abbot of Shaolin Temple." The old monk said: "Good, good! My Buddha Tathagata can save all sentient beings." Zhao Min said: "Yes, we happen to work together, Let’s do good deeds together.” As soon as she said this, the eight monks laughed at the same time. It turned out that these eight monks were indeed a party of Yuan Zhen and Chen Youliang, introduced by Chen Youliang, and worshiped under Yuan Zhen's sect.Yuan Zhen previously provoked the six major factions to besiege Guangmingding, but failed. Later, he planned with Zhao Min to capture Kong Wen, Kong Zhi and others, and made trouble for Zhang Wuji. He wanted to make trouble in Shaolin Temple and planned to become the abbot , In recent years, he has been recruiting talents everywhere.It's just that the discipline of Shaolin Temple is very strict, every time a disciple is accepted, the supervisor in charge of the discipline must interrogate him in detail to find out his background, Yuan Zhen can't do whatever he wants.Chen Youliang then devised another plan to attract heroes from all walks of life and Jiangyang thieves to worship outside the temple. As Yuanzhen's disciples, he did not enter Shaolin.Yuan Zhen's martial arts are so profound, just a single move will make all the heroes in the world overwhelmed. These martial arts figures admire the prestige of the famous Shaolin sect, and seeing Yuan Zhen's superb skills, they are all willing to learn from them.There are a few who don't want to betray the sect, Yuan Zhen immediately eliminates them, so he has been planning a conspiracy for a long time, but he didn't expose it.The old monk said, "I, the Buddha Tathagata, can save all living beings", which is a secret sign for them to recognize each other. If they are members of the party, they should answer "When the flowers bloom to see the Buddha, the heart is the spiritual mountain", so that they can know each other.Zhao Min heard that the old monk revealed that he was Yuanzhen's disciple, so he deduced Yuanzhen's intention to seek the position of abbot, but how did they know the secret code they agreed on? A short and fat monk said: "Brother Fu, what did this little girl say that she recommended my teacher to be the abbot of Shaolin Temple? Where did she get the information? It's a very important matter, so you must ask clearly." The monks still refer to each other as "big brother" and "second brother", not breaking away from the green forest habits of the past. As soon as Zhang Wuji heard the laughter of the eight of them, he knew something was going to go wrong. Suffering from being seriously injured and unable to condense his true qi, he had to try his best to restrain his mind and forcefully gather the qi. The vein runs.Seeing the five fingers of the old monk like bird claws grabbing Zhao Min, Zhao Min was powerless to block, shrank back to avoid the inner bed, Zhang Wuji was anxious, but at this moment, he could only practice cross-legged exercises, hoping to recover With two or three successes, the eight evil thieves can be dispatched. The short and fat monk saw that he was sitting in meditation in a big way at this moment, and shouted angrily: "This kid doesn't know how to live or die, I will send him to the west first, so as not to get in the way here!" He raised his right arm, and his bones rattled. Hu punched Zhang Wuji hard in the chest.Seeing the danger, Zhao Min screamed in alarm, but saw that the short and fat monk had punched him, his right arm was limply hanging down, his eyes were wide open, but he stood there completely still.The old monk was shocked and stretched out his hand to pull him, but the fat monk fell down and died.The rest of the monks were startled and angry, and shouted one after another: "This kid has demon skills and sorcery!" It turned out that the fat monk used strength in his arm and slammed Zhang Wuji's chest, hitting Tanzhong acupoint.Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang Divine Art was insufficient for attacking the enemy, but more than enough for protecting himself. Not only did he bounce back the punch from the enemy, but also because of the opponent's blow, he aroused the true energy of the Nine Yang in his body. The fat monk was killed immediately. But the old monk said that there were poisonous arrows and thorns in Zhang Wuji's chest, so that the fat monk was very poisoned, so he immediately struck his right arm that was exposed outside the sleeve, intending to break his arm first, and then strike. Clean up slowly.The fierce palm force of this move hit Zhang Wuji's arm, triggering the Nine Yang True Qi in his body to bounce back.The old monk immediately slammed forward, like an arrow, with a loud click, it broke through the window pane and hit a big locust tree in the courtyard, his brain burst. As monk Yu shouted loudly, one monk punched Zhang Wuji's temples with both fists, one monk stretched out his fingers to dig out his eyeballs with "two dragons grabbing pearls", and the other monk flew up his right foot and kicked at his dantian.Zhang Wuji lowered his head to avoid his eyes and let him poke his forehead with two fingers, but he heard Pingping, ah yo, puffing several times in succession, and the three monks were shocked to death one after another.The third monk flew his feet and kicked violently, his right leg broke abruptly.Zhang Wuji received this leg in his dantian, his true energy surged, the veins in the right half of his body seemed to run through all over, he secretly rejoiced: "It's a pity that this evil monk died too early, if he kicked my dantian a few more times My feet, on the contrary, can help me to recover my skills early. It seems that although I was seriously injured, it is not difficult to recover, and it only takes ten days to half a month to recover, and I can fully recover the old meditation." Five of the eight monks died, and the remaining three evil monks were scared out of their wits, scrambling to get out the door, and went straight to the outside of the temple gate, but Zhang Wuji didn't see him chasing him out, so they stood up to discuss.One said: "This kid must have evil methods." The other said: "I don't think it is evil methods. This kid has a strong internal energy, and he came out to hurt people." The third person said: "That's right, we are going to kill my brother who died. Revenge." The three discussed for a while, and one of them suddenly said: "This kid must be seriously injured, otherwise why didn't he chase him out?" The other said happily: "Yes, most likely he can't move, and the five brothers beat him with fists and feet. He can fight back with his internal strength, let's chop him with a weapon and stab him, can it be that he really has copper tendons and iron bones?" The three monks discussed and decided, one held a spear, one held a knife, and the other held a sword, and walked back to the courtyard. The three monks looked into the smashed window pane, and saw that the young man was still sitting cross-legged, looking extremely tired, his body was shaking, as if he was about to fall down at any moment.The girl wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.The three monks exchanged glances, but they dared not rush in after all.A monk shouted: "Stinky boy, come out if you have the guts, and fight with the master for three hundred rounds." Another monk scolded: "What is this boy capable of? He can only use demons to harm people. That's a bad idea." It's a despicable trick, especially shameless!" Seeing that Zhang Wuji neither answered nor got out of bed, the three monks became more and more courageous. Few people can beat these three great monks. Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min were not angry after hearing this, what they were most worried about was not that the three monks would come to seek revenge again, but that they would be scared away and never return.This place is not far from Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain, if these three monks go and tell Cheng Kun, it will be a big deal.Zhang Wuji's injury is less than ten husbands away, and it is impossible to recover, Cheng Kun doesn't need to come in person, as long as one or two second-rate masters come, such as Chen Youliang and the like, he can't resist it.Therefore, seeing the three monks go and return, they are secretly happy.Zhang Wuji was attacked by five monks in a row, the nine yang zhenqi in his body gradually gathered in some places, although it was still difficult to use force to injure the enemy, his heart was no longer as panic as before. Suddenly there was a bang, a monk kicked open the door and rushed in, the green light flashed, the red tassels trembled, and a spear was held out in his hand.Zhao Min shouted: "Ah!" and hurriedly handed the dagger in his hand to Zhang Wuji.Zhang Wuji shook his head and refused to answer, and secretly complained: "I have no strength in my hands. Even if I have a weapon, how can I defeat the enemy? I am flesh and blood, but I can't resist the weapon." Unable to stop thinking, the enemy's spear curled up into a spear flower , the red tassels spread out, and the spearhead had pierced his chest. The spear came quickly, but Zhao Min's thoughts also turned quickly. He reached out to Zhang Wuji's arms and took out a sacred fire token. He aimed at the path of the spearhead and blocked Zhang Wuji's chest. superior.With the sharpness of the Yitian sword, it can't cut off the sacred fire order, and the spearhead will stab it, and it will not be damaged at all.The strength of this thrust excited Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang Divine Art, and bounced back, but he heard a long scream of "Ah...", and the spear went straight into the monk's chest. Before the monk fell down, the single knife of the second monk had already slashed at the top of Zhang Wuji's head.Zhao Min was afraid that a holy fire token would not be able to block the single blade, so she held one in each hand and quickly put it on top of Zhang Wuji's head.There was really no room for this moment, there was another sound, the single knife rebounded, and the back of the knife smashed the evil monk's forehead bone into pieces, but Zhao Min's left little finger was also sliced ​​off by the knife edge, and he never felt any pain at the critical moment . As soon as the third monk entered the door holding his sword, he saw two companions died almost at the same time. He yelled and ran out.Zhao Min shouted: "Don't let him escape." The holy torch order with his right hand was thrown through the window, the aim was very good, but he had no strength, he fell to the ground without touching the person.Zhang Wuji hugged her body and shouted: "Throw again!" The zhenqi that was slightly concentrated in his chest was transmitted from her vest.The torch order in Zhao Min's left hand was thrown again.The monk only needed to run two more steps, and hid behind Zhaobi, but the holy fire made him go very fast, hit his vest, and immediately spurted blood and died. Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min Shenghuo Ling let go, fainted at the same time, hugged each other and fell out of bed.At this time, six monks died in the wing room, two monks died in the court, and Zhang and Zhao passed out in a pool of blood.The small temple in the barren hills, the cold moon and the breeze, there was no sound in an instant. After a long time, Zhao Min woke up first, stretched out his hand to check Zhang Wuji's breath in a daze, and felt that although the breathing was weak, it was long and steady.She stood up with support, unable to help him onto the bed, so she had to pull him up, lift his head, and lay it on the body of a dead monk.She sat panting among the dead.After a while, Zhang Wuji opened his eyes and called out, "Sister Min, where are you?" Zhao Min smiled sweetly, and the cold moonlight shone in through the window, the two saw blood on each other's face, Originally, the expression was terrifying, but after the catastrophe, Yu Sheng felt indescribably handsome and cute, and they embraced each other with open arms. In this dramatic battle, Zhang Wuji didn't spend half of his effort to kill the seven monks earlier, he used his strength to fight, but it was harmless and beneficial, but in the end he threw the eighth evil monk with the holy fire order, and both of them were seriously injured.At this time, both of them were unable to move, they could only lie in the pile of dead people, waiting for their strength to recover.Zhao Min bandaged the wound on the little finger of his left hand and fell asleep again in a daze.
It wasn't until noon the next day that the two woke up one after another.Zhang Wuji meditated luckily, adjusted his breath for more than half an hour, his energy was slightly revived, he stood up, his stomach was growling, he touched the kitchen, half of the pot of rice had turned into black charcoal, and the other half also had a bad smell, Filled a bowl full and took it to the room.Zhao Min said with a smile: "You and I are in such a mess today, only heaven and earth know, you know and I know, it is not enough for outsiders to understand." The two laughed at each other, stretched out their hands to grab the burnt rice and ate it, only to feel the taste The beauty of it seems to be better than the delicacies of mountains and seas.Before he finished a bowl of rice, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes colliding with rocks in the distance. With a clang, the clay bowl containing the scorched rice fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces.Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji looked at each other, their hearts were pounding, they could hear two people rushing forward, they stopped abruptly in front of the temple gate, then the door knocker rang four times, someone knocked on the door, after a moment's pause, the door knocker rang four times again.Zhang Wuji said in a low voice: "What should we do?" Only someone outside the door shouted: "Shangguan third brother, it's me, Qin Laowu." Zhao Min said: "They are going to break in. Let's pretend to be dead and act accordingly. .” The two lay down in the pile of dead people with their faces down.As soon as he bent down, there was a loud bang, and the temple door was slammed open by someone. Judging from the force of the slamming door, the person who came was physically strong.With a thought in his heart, Zhao Min said, "You lie down by the door and block the two of them from retreating." Zhang Wuji nodded and climbed to the threshold. Immediately afterwards, there were two exclamations of surprise and the sound of swishing, the two people who entered the temple drew their weapons, obviously they had seen the two corpses in the court.One said in a low voice: "Be careful, guard against the enemy's plotting." The other shouted: "Good friend, what kind of hero is he who hides furtively? If you have the guts, come out and fight to the death with me." This man's voice was thick and full of energy, It must be the strong man who pushed the door.He drank several times, but there was no sound in the surroundings, and said: "The thief has gone far." Another human with a hoarse voice said: "Check around, don't fall into the enemy's tricks." The old five Qin said: " Brother Shou, you search to the east, and I will search to the west." The man surnamed Shou seemed to be afraid, and said, "I'm afraid there are many enemies, so let's not be alone." Qin Laowu didn't comment. The man surnamed Shou suddenly said "Hey", pointed to the east wing room and said, "There...there are still dead people inside!" The two walked to the door, and saw dead bodies lying on the ground in a small room.Qin Laowu said: "This temple... the eight brothers in the temple died together. I don't know who did it?" The surname Shou said: "Qin Fifth Brother, let's go back to the temple quickly, Cai...report... Report to Master." Qin Laowu pondered: "Master told us, we must send out the Qingtiao as soon as possible, and hurry up to hold the "Lion Slaying Heroes Meeting" on the Double Ninth Festival. If we miss something, we will not be guilty." When Zhang Wuji heard the words "Lion Slaughtering Heroes Meeting", he pondered for a while, and couldn't help being surprised, happy, ashamed, and angry, with all kinds of feelings, and thought: "His master is spreading invitations, what kind of lion-slaying heroes meeting is held, he called it naturally The hero of the world wants to kill the adoptive father in public. In this way, before the Double Ninth Festival, the adoptive father's life is safe. I can't protect the adoptive father well, so that the old man will fall into the hands of traitors, suffer humiliation, and be unfilial and unrighteous. Why not." The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, wishing to kill the two traitors immediately, but he was also afraid that the two of them would run away when they saw the opportunity, and he would not be able to chase after them, so he had to wait for the two of them to enter the room, and then block the escape route, doing the same. Use the counter-shocking power of Jiuyang Zhenqi to eradicate rape. Unexpectedly, seeing that the room was full of dead bodies, the two of them didn't want to enter the room, they just stood in the courtyard to discuss.The man surnamed Shou said: "This is such an important matter, you have to report to Master quickly." Qin Laowu said: "Well, let's work separately, I will send the invitation, and you go back to the temple to report to Master." Worried about encountering enemies on the road, he hesitated.Qin Laowu became annoyed and said, "Then you can choose, if you like to send invitations, that's up to you." The surname Shou pondered for a while, and finally felt that it would be safer to go back to the mountain, and said, "Let Fifth Brother Qin order, I'll go back to the mountain and report." The two immediately turned around and left. Zhao Min moved his body and groaned twice.Qin and Shou were taken aback, turned around and saw Zhao Min moved a few more times, at this moment they could see clearly that it was a woman. Qin Laowu wondered: "Who is this woman?" He went into the room.Although the surname Shou was timid, firstly seeing that she was a woman, and secondly that she was seriously injured and dying, he followed into the room without fear.Qin Lao Wu stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Min's shoulder.Zhang Wuji coughed, sat up, crossed his legs for luck, his eyes seemed to be closed but not closed.Qin and Shou suddenly saw him sitting up, his face was covered with blood, and his expression was terrifying, they were all shocked.The one surnamed Shou shouted: "No, this is a corpse change. This zombie... the ghost of the zombie lingers!" Qin Lao Wu shouted: "The zombie is making trouble, the surname Qin will not come to be afraid of you." He raised his knife and slashed at the top of Zhang Wuji's head.张无忌手中早握好了两枚圣火令，当即往头顶一放，当的一响，刀刃砍在圣火令上，反弹回去，将秦老五撞得脑浆迸裂，立时毙命。 那姓寿的手中握着一柄鬼头刀，手臂发抖，想要往张无忌身上砍去，却哪里敢？张无忌只等他砍劈过来，便可以九阳真气反撞。赵敏见那人久久不动，心下焦躁：“这胆小鬼魂飞魄散，不敢动手，要是他抛刀逃走，咱们可奈何他不得。”只见他牙关相击，格格作响，突然间啪的一声，鬼头刀掉在地下。 张无忌道：“你有种便来砍我一刀，打我一拳。”那人道：“小……小的没种，不敢跟老爷动手。”张无忌道：“那么你踢我一脚试试。”那人道：“小的……小的更加不敢。”张无忌怒道：“你如此脓包，待会只有死得更惨，快向我砍上两刀。我若见你手劲不差，说不定反饶了你性命。”那人道：“是，是！”俯身拾起鬼头刀，瞥见秦老五头骨破碎的惨状，心想这僵尸法力高强，我还是苦苦哀求饶命的为是，跪倒磕头道：“老爷饶命！你身遭枉死，跟小人可毫不相干，你别向小……小人索命。” 赵敏听他竟以为张无忌是死人，心中有气，哼了一声，道：“武林中居然有这等没出息的奴才。”那人道：“是，是！小的没出息，没出息，真是奴才，真是奴才！” 他不敢出手，张无忌倒无计可施，突然间心念一动，喝道：“过来。”那人忙道：“是！”向前爬了几步，仍然跪着。张无忌伸出双手，将两根拇指按在他眼珠之上，喝道：“我先挖出你的眼珠。”那人大惊，不及多想，忙伸手用力将张无忌双臂推开。张无忌只求他这么一推，当即借用他的力道，手臂下滑，点了他乳下神封、步廊两处穴道。那人全身酸麻，扑倒在地，大声求恳：“老爷饶命，老爷饶命。原来老爷不是僵尸，那……那更加要饶命了。”他这时伏在张无忌身前，已瞧清对方乃是活人。 赵敏知张无忌这一下乃借力点穴，但借来的力道实在太小，只能暂时令那人手足酸软，却未失行动之力，不到半个时辰，封闭了的穴道自行解开，届时又有一番麻烦，又想有许多事要向他查明，不能便取他性命，说道：“你已给这位爷台点中了死穴，你吸一口气，左胸肋角是否隐隐生疼？”那人依言吸气，果觉左胸几根肋骨处颇为疼痛，其实这是一时气血闭塞的应有之象，那人不知，更大声哀求。 赵敏道：“要饶你性命吗？可须得给你用金针解开死穴才成。那未免太也麻烦了。”那人磕头道：“姑娘无论如何得麻烦这么一次。姑娘救得小人之命，小人做牛做马，也供姑娘驱使。”赵敏嫣然一笑，道：“似你这等江湖人物，我倒是第一次看见。好吧，你去拾一块砖头来。”那人忙应道：“是，是！”蹒跚着走出，到院子中去捡砖头。 张无忌低声问道：“要砖头干什么？”赵敏微笑道：“山人自有妙计。” 那人拿了一块砖头，恭恭敬敬地走进房来。赵敏在头发上拔下一支金钗，将钗尖对准了他肩头缺盆穴，说道：“我先用金针解开你上身脉络，免得死穴之气上冲入脑，那就无救了。但不知那位爷台肯不肯饶你性命？”那人眼望张无忌，满是哀恳之色。张无忌便点了点头。那人大喜，道：“这位大爷答允了，请姑娘快快下手。”赵敏道：“嗯，你怕不怕痛？”那人道：“小人只怕死，不怕痛。” 赵敏道：“很好！你用砖头在金钗尾上敲击一下。”那人心想金钗插入肩头，这是皮肉之伤，毫不皱眉，提起砖头便往钗尾击落。金钗刺入缺盆穴，那人并不疼痛，反有一阵舒适之感，对赵敏更增几分信心，不绝口地道谢。赵敏命他拔出金钗，又在他魂门、魄户、天柱、库房等七八处穴道上分别刺过。张无忌微微一笑，道：“好了，好了！”站起身来，心知那人穴道上受了这些攒刺，倘若逃出庙去，竭力奔跑，这几下刺穴立即发作，便制了他死命。 赵敏道：“你去打两盆水，给我们洗脸，然后去做饭。你如要死，不妨在饭菜之中下些毒药，咱三人同归于尽。”那人道：“小的不敢，小的不敢！” 这么一来，张无忌和赵敏倒多了一个侍仆。赵敏问他姓名，原来那人姓寿，名叫南山，有个外号叫做“万寿无疆”，却是江湖上朋友取笑他临阵畏缩、一辈子不会给人打死之意。他虽随着一干绿林好汉拜在圆真门下，圆真却嫌他根骨太差，人品畏葸，只差他跑腿办事，从来没传授过什么武功。寿南山给刺中了穴道，力气不失，任由赵敏差来差去，极是卖力。他将九具尸体拖到后园中埋葬了，提水冼净庙中血渍。妙在此人武功不成，烹调手段倒算得是第三流好手，做几碗菜肴，张无忌和赵敏吃来大加赞赏。 待得诸事定当，张赵二人盘问那“屠狮英雄会”的详情。寿南山倒毫不隐瞒，只可惜旁人瞧他不起，许多事都没跟他说。他只知少林寺方丈空闻大师派圆真主持这次大会，由空闻和空智两位神僧出面，广撒英雄帖，邀请天下各门派、各帮会的英雄好汉，于重阳节齐集少林寺会商要事。 张无忌要过那英雄帖一看，见是邀请云南点苍派浮尘子、古松子、归藏子等诸剑客的请柬。点苍诸剑成名已久，但隐居滇南，疏于露面，少和中原武林人士交往。少林派连他们也邀到了，可见这次大会宾客之众，规模之盛。少林派领袖武林，空闻、空智亲自出面邀请，料得接柬之人均将搁置要事，前来赴会。 张无忌见请柬上只寥寥数字，但书“敬请于重阳佳节，光临少林，与天下英雄樽酒共尽十日之欢。同参佛祖，会商武林大事。”并无“屠狮”字样，便问：“干吗秦老五说这会叫做'屠狮英雄会'？” 寿南山脸有得色，说道：“张爷有所不知，我师父擒获一个鼎鼎大名的人物，叫做金毛狮王谢逊。我们少林派这番要在天下英雄之前大大露脸，当众宰杀这只金毛狮子，因此这个大会嘛，便叫做'屠狮英雄会'。”张无忌强忍怒气，又问：“这金毛狮王是何等人物，你可看见了么？你师父如何将他擒来？这人现下关在哪里？” 寿南山道：“这金毛狮王哪，嘿嘿，那可当真厉害无比，足足有小人两个那么高，手膀比小人的大腿还粗，不说别的，单是他一对精光闪闪的眼睛向着你这么一瞪，你登时便魂飞魄散，不用动手，便得磕头求饶……” 张无忌和赵敏对望一眼，只听他又道：“我师父跟他斗了七日七夜，不分胜败，后来我师父怒了，使出威震天下的'擒龙伏虎功'来，这才将他收服。现下这金毛狮王关在我们寺中大雄宝殿的一只大铁笼中，身上缚了七八根纯钢打就的链条……” 张无忌越听越怒，喝道：“我问你话，便该据实而言，这般胡说八道，瞧我不要了你的狗命！金毛狮王谢大侠双目失明，说什么双眼精光闪闪？”寿南山的牛皮当场给人戳穿，忙道：“是，是！想必是小人看错了。”张无忌道：“到底你有没有见到他老人家？谢大侠是怎么一副相貌，你且说说看。”寿南山实在未见过谢逊，知道再吹牛皮，不免有性命之忧，忙道：“小人不敢相欺，其实是听师兄们说的。” 张无忌只想查明谢逊被囚的所在，但反复探询，寿南山确是不知，料想这是机密大事，这小角色原也无从得悉，只得罢了。好在重阳节距今二月有余，时日从容，待伤势痊愈后前去相救，尽来得及。 三人在护国寺中过了数日，倒也安然无事，少林寺中并未派人前来有何勾当差遣。到得第八日上，赵敏之伤已痊愈了七八成，张无忌体内真气逐步贯通，四肢渐渐有力，其时若有敌人到来，稍加抵挡或逃跑已非难事。那寿南山尽心竭力地服侍，不敢稍有异志。赵敏笑道：“万寿无疆，你这胚子学武是不成的，做个管家倒是上等人材。”寿南山喜道：“姑娘说得好。小人便给姑娘做管家好吗？”赵敏笑道：“那可不敢当！” 张无忌和赵敏每日吃着寿南山精心烹调的美食，护国寺中别有一番温馨天地。又过十来日，两人体力尽复，张无忌便和赵敏商议如何营救谢逊。 赵敏道：“本来最好的法子是真的点了'万寿无疆'死穴，派他回去少林寺打探。但这人太过脓包，多半会露出马脚，反而坏了大事。这样吧，咱们便到少室山下相机行事。只是咱们二人的打扮却得变一变。”张无忌道：“乔装作什么？剃了光头，做和尚、尼姑吗？”赵敏脸七微微一红，啐道：“呸！亏你想得出！一个小和尚，带着个小尼姑，整天晃来晃去，成什么样子？”张无忌笑道：“那么咱俩扮成一对乡下夫妻，到少室山脚下种田砍柴去。”赵敏一笑，道：“兄妹不成么？扮成了夫妻，给周姑娘瞧见，我这左边肩上又得多五个手指窟窿。” 张无忌也是一笑，不便再说下去，细细向寿南山问明少林寺中各处房舍的情形，便道：“你身上受点的死穴，都已解了，这就去吧。”赵敏正色道：“只是你这一生必须居于南方，只要一见冰雪，立刻送命。你急速南行，住的地方越热越好，倘若受了一点点风寒，有什么伤风咳嗽，那可危险得紧。” 寿南山信以为真，拜别二人，出庙便向南行。这一生果然长居岭南，小心保养，不敢伤风，直至明朝永乐年间方死，虽非当真“万寿无疆”，却也是得享遐龄。
张赵二人待他走远，小心清除了庙内一切居住过的痕迹，走出二十余里，向农家买了男女庄稼人的衣衫，到荒野处换上，将原来衣衫掘地埋了，向西北过了登封，慢慢走到少室山下。 到得离少林寺七八里处，途中已三次遇到寺中僧人。赵敏道：“不能再向前行了。”见山道旁两间茅舍，门前有一片菜地，一个老农正在浇菜，便道：“向他借宿去。” 张无忌走上前去，行了个礼，说道：“老丈，借光，咱兄妹俩行得倦了，讨碗水喝。”那老农恍若不闻，不理不睬，只舀着一瓢瓢粪水往菜根上泼去。张无忌又说了一遍，那老农仍是不理。呀的一声，柴扉推开，走出一个白发婆婆，笑道：“我老伴耳聋口哑，客官有什么事？”张无忌道：“我妹子走不动了，想讨碗水喝。”那婆婆道：“请进来吧。” 二人跟着入内，只见屋内收拾得甚是整洁，板桌木凳，抹得干干净净，老婆婆的一套粗布衣裙也冼得一尘不染。赵敏心中欢喜，喝过了水，取出一锭银子，笑道；“婆婆，我哥哥带我去外婆家，我路上脚抽筋，走不动了，今儿晚想在婆婆家借宿一宵，等明儿清早再赶路。”那婆婆道：“借宿一宵不妨，也不用什么银子。只是我们只有一间房、一张床，我和老伴就算让了出来，你兄妹俩也不能一床睡啊。嘿嘿，小姑娘，你跟婆婆说老实话，是不是背父私奔，跟情哥哥逃了出来啊？” 赵敏给她说中了真情，不由得满脸通红，暗想这婆婆的眼力好厉害，听她说话口气不似寻常农家老妇，向她多打量了几眼，见她虽弓腰曲背，但双目炯炯有神，说不定竟身有武艺。赵敏情知张无忌还勉强像个寻常农夫，自己的容貌举止、说话神态，决计不似农女，便悄声说道：“婆婆既已猜到，我也不能相瞒。这个曾哥哥，是我自幼的相好，我爹爹嫌他家中贫穷，不肯答允婚事。我妈妈见我寻死觅活的，便做主叫我跟了他……他出来。我妈妈说，过得三年两载，我们有了……有了娃娃，再回家去，爹爹就是不肯，也只好肯了。”她说这番话时满脸飞红，不时偷偷向张无忌望上几眼，目光中深蕴情意，又道：“我家在大都是有面子的人家，爹爹又是做官的。我们要是给人抓住了，阿牛哥非给我爹爹打死不可。婆婆，我跟你说是说了，你可千万别跟人说。” 那婆婆呵呵而笑，连连点头，说道：“我年轻时节，也是个风流人物。你放心，我把我的房让给你小夫妻。此处地方偏僻，你家里人一定找不到，就算有人跟你们为难，婆婆也不能袖手旁观。”她见赵敏温柔美丽，一上来便将自己的隐私说与她听，心下便大有好感，决意出力相助，玉成他俩好事。 赵敏听了她这几句话，更知她是武林人物，此处距少林寺甚近，不知她与成昆是友是敌，当真要处处小心，不能露出半分破绽，于是盈盈拜倒，说道：“婆婆肯给我二人做主，那真多钳了。阿牛哥，快来谢过婆婆。”张无忌依言过来，作揖道谢。 那婆婆笑眯眯地点头，当即让了自己的房出来，在堂上用木板另行搭了张床，垫些稻草，铺上一张草席。两人来到房中，张无忌低声道：“浇菜那老农本领更大，你瞧出来了么？”赵敏道：“啊，我倒看不出。”张无忌道：“他肩挑粪水，行得极慢，可是两只粪桶竟没半点晃动，那是很高的内力修为。”赵敏道：“比起你来怎么样？”张无忌笑道：“我来试试，也不知成不成。”说着一把将她抱起，扛在肩头，作挑担之状。赵敏咯咯笑道：“啊哟！你将我当作了粪桶么？” 那婆婆在房外听得他二人亲热笑谑之声，先前心头存着的些微疑心，立时尽去。 当晚二人和那老农夫妇同桌共餐，有鸡有肉。张无忌和赵敏故意偷偷捏一捏手，碰一碰肘，便如一对热恋私奔的情侣，蜜里调油，片刻分舍不得。初时还不过有意做作，到后来竟纯出自然。那婆婆瞧在眼里，不住微笑，那老农却如不见，只管低头吃饭。 饭后张无忌和赵敏入房，闩上了门。两人在饭桌上这般真真假假地调笑，不由得都动了情。赵敏俏脸红晕，低声道：“我们这是假的，可作不得真。”张无忌一把将她搂在怀里，吻了吻她，低声道：“倘若是假的，三年两载，又怎能生得个娃娃，抱回家去给你爹爹瞧瞧？”赵敏羞道：“呸，原来你躲在一旁，把我的话都偷听去啦。” 张无忌虽和她言笑不禁，但总是想到自己和周芷若已有婚姻之约，虽然心中隐隐盼望将来一双两好，总须和周芷若成婚之后，再说得上赵敏之事。此刻温香在抱，不免意乱情迷，但终于强自克制，只亲亲她的樱唇粉颊，便将她扶上床去，自行躺在床前板凳上，调息用功，九阳真气运转十二周天，便即睡去。 赵敏却脸热心跳，翻来覆去地难以入睡，直至深宵，正蒙蒙昽昽间，忽听得脚步声响，自远而近，有人迅速异常地抢到门前。她伸手去推张无忌，恰好张无忌也已闻声醒觉，伸手过来推她，双手相触，互相握住了。 只听得门外一个清朗的声音说道：“杜氏贤伉俪请了，故人夜访，得嫌无礼否？” 过了半晌，那婆婆在屋内说道：“是西凉三剑么？我夫妇从川北远避到此，算是怕了你玉真观了。咱们不过一件小事上结了梁子，又不是当真有什么深仇大怨。事隔多年，玉真观何必仍如此苦苦相逼？常言道得好：杀人不过头点地。”门外那人哈哈一笑，说道：“你二位如当真怕了，向我们磕三个响头，玉真观既往不咎，前事一笔勾销。”只听板门呀的一声开了，那婆婆道：“你们讯息也真灵通，居然追到了这里。” 其时满月初亏，银光泻地，张无忌和赵敏从窗缝中望出去，只见门外站着三个黄冠道人。中间一人短须戟张，又矮又胖，说道：“贤伉俪是磕头赔罪呢，还是双钩、链子枪上一决生死？”那婆婆尚未回答，那聋哑老头已大踏步而出，站在门前，双手叉腰，冷冷地瞧着三个道人。那婆婆跟着出来，站在丈夫身旁。 那短须道人道：“杜老先生干吗一言不发，不屑跟西凉三剑交谈么？”那婆婆道：“拙夫耳朵聋了，听不到三位言语。”短须道人“咦”的一声，道：“杜老先生听风辨器之术乃武林一绝，怎地耳朵聋了？可惜，可惜。”他身旁那个更胖的道人刷的一声，抽出长剑，道：“杜百当、易三娘，你们怎地不拿兵刃？” 那婆婆易三娘道：“马道长，你仍这般性急。两位邵道长，几年不见，你们可也头发花白了。嘿嘿，一些儿小事也这么看不开，却又何苦？”双手突举，每只手掌中青光闪烁，各有三柄不到半尺长的短刀，双手共有六柄。聋哑老头杜百当跟着扬手，双掌中也是六柄短刀，他左手刀滚到右手，右手刀滚到左手，便似手指交叉一般，纯熟无比。 三个道人都是一怔，武林中可从来没见过这般兵器，说是飞刀吧，但飞刀却决计没这般使法的。杜百当向以双钩威震川北，他妻子易三娘善使链子枪，此刻夫妇俩竟舍弃了浸润数十年的拿手兵器不用，那么这十二柄短刀上必有极厉害、极怪异的招数。 那胖道人马法通长剑一振，肃然吟道：“三才剑阵天地人。”短须道人邵鹤接口道：“电逐星驰出玉真。”三名道人脚步错开，登时将杜氏二老围在垓心。 张无忌见三名道人忽左忽右，穿来插去，阵法不似三才，三柄长剑织成一道光网，却不向对方递招。待那三道人走到七八步时，张无忌已瞧出其中之理，寻思：“这三名道人好生狡猾，口中叫明这是三才剑阵，其实暗藏正反五行。倘若敌人信以为真，按天地人三才方位去破解，立时陷身五行，难逃杀伤。他三个人而排五行剑阵，每个人要管到一个以上的生克变化，这轻功和剑法上的造诣，可也相当不凡了。” 杜氏夫妇背靠着背，四只手银光闪闪，十二柄短刀交换舞动，两人不但双手短刀交互转换，而且杜百当的短刀交到了妻子手里，易三娘的短刀交到了丈夫手里，但每一柄刀决不脱手抛掷，始终老老实实地递来递去。 赵敏礁得奇怪，低声问道：“他们在变什么戏法？”张无忌皱眉不答，又看一会，忽道：“啊，我明白了，他是怕我义父的狮子吼。”赵敏道：“什么狮子吼？”张无忌连连点头，忽地冷笑道：“哼，就凭这点儿功夫，也想屠狮伏虎么？”赵敏莫名其妙，问道：“你打什么哑谜？自言自语的，叫人听得老大纳
