Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

After being busy for half the night, Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu washed their hands and faces in the creek tens of feet behind the temple.Cheng Lingsu took out the biscuits from the package behind his back, and the two ate them with the clear water in the stream.Hu Fei fought repeatedly and was overjoyed and sad. At this moment, he felt his hands were sore and his feet were weak, and he was tired and tired. He lay down by the stream and rested for more than half an hour. The two went back to the monk's house, gently opened the door, and saw Ma Chunhua dead on the bed, with a smile on his face and a very happy expression.Hu Fei wept and said: "She wants me to bury her next to her husband's tomb. Now the wind is urgent, and you and I are chasing you and me everywhere. Where can I find a coffin at this time? It's better to cremate her and send her ashes to be buried " Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes."

Hu Fei bent down and reached out to pick up Ma Chunhua's body when Cheng Lingsu suddenly grabbed his arm and shouted, "Wait!" Hearing her urgent voice, Hu Fei withdrew his hand and asked, "What?" Answering, Hu Fei had heard the very subtle sound of slow breathing behind him, and when he turned around, he saw two people hiding behind the board door, but they were Cheng Lingsu's senior brother Murong Jingyue and third senior sister Xue Que. At this moment, Cheng Lingsu raised his left hand, and a stream of purple-brown powder flew out, hitting the bottom of the bed where Ma Chunhua was lying.Hu Fei thought: "Under the bed, there must be a very powerful enemy hidden."

But when Xue Que stretched out his hand to push the door open, and was about to jump out, Hu Fei moved extremely fast, hugged Cheng Lingsu's slender waist at the bend of his right hand, went out backwards, rushed into the hall outside the room, and flew up when passing the door With one leg, he kicked on the door panel.The door panel slammed backwards with a bang, trapping Murong Jingyue and Xue Que between the door panel and the wall.It was fine for Murong Jingyue, but Xue Que's tall hunchback was squeezed by the brick wall so painfully that he couldn't help but yelled loudly. Just as Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu stood still at the door, they saw a red mist under the bed, and the purple exhaust powder was shaken out with the force of their palms. Following the flickering of the figure, a person jumped out of the door with a long body.There was a loud bang, bang, bang, and bang, and the man raised the tiger brace in his hand, and slammed it on top of Hu Fei's head.

With a glance, Hu Fei saw the face of that person clearly, it was Shi Wan'an, who claimed to be the King of Poisonous Hand Medicine. Cheng Lingsu shouted: "Don't touch the weapon on his body!" Hu Fei had long been wary of this man, knowing that his body was poisonous, and if he got a little bit of it on, he would suddenly cause endless trouble, so he slid three steps to the left to avoid Shi Wan'an's attack. Hu Bing, with a sound of swiping, single-handedly shot, with a move of "remonstrating fruit and returning to sweetness", turning around and counterattacking.This move returned the saber very quickly, Shi Wan'an couldn't dodge in time, the tiger braced up and jerked in a critical situation, and blocked the saber forcefully, there was a loud bang, and the two of them jumped back.The iron ball in Shi Wan'an's tiger's support only made a chaotic noise.

At this time Murong Jingyue and Xue Que had come out of the room and stood behind Shi Wan'an.Shi Wan'an and Hu Fei forced this move, but felt that his sword skills were exquisite and his physical strength was strong, and his right arm was slightly numb from the shock, so he stopped attacking. Hu Fei also secretly expressed his dissatisfaction: "This man is good at using poison, and his martial arts are so amazing. My move 'Jianguohuigan' was unexpectedly counterattacked, and he was able to catch it." Murong Jingyue said: "Junior Sister Cheng, why don't you kowtow when you see your uncle?" Cheng Lingsu stood beside Hu Fei and said coldly: "Where did we find my uncle? I haven't heard of it."

Shi Wan said angrily: "Have you heard the name 'Poison Hand God Owl'? Has your master never dared to mention me?" Cheng Lingsu said: "'Poison Hand God Owl'? I have heard of the name. My master said that he used to There was indeed a junior brother, but he abused poison to harm others, did not keep the rules of the gate, and was kicked out of the gate by the master long ago. Senior Shi, is that you?" Shi Wan'an smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Our The school pays attention to the use of poison, since there is the word 'poison', why pretend to be a good person? The surnamed Shi would rather be a real villain than pretend to be a gentleman like your master."

Cheng Lingsu said angrily: "When did my master kill an innocent person?" Shi Wan said angrily: "Does your master kill fewer people? He himself naturally said that the people he poisoned to death were all heinous and deserved to die. From the perspective of others, this may not be the case. As for the family and children of the deceased, they definitely don't think so." Hu Fei's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "There is some truth to what this person said." Cheng Lingsu said: "That's right. My master also deeply regretted hurting too many people in his life. Later, he became a monk and worshiped the Buddha to make amends. The old man earnestly warned the four of us, brothers and sisters, that we should never hurt people easily unless it is absolutely necessary. The younger generation will never hurt people. I have never killed a single person before." Shi Wan'an sneered and said, "I see you are clever and clever, but you are an outstanding talent in our sect. Those tricks in the master meeting were so beautifully played that even your uncle almost fell for it. Got it."

Cheng Lingsu said indifferently: "You claim to be my uncle and falsely use the name of my master Poisonous Hand Medicine King. If the real Poisonous Hand Medicine King is alive, when he reaches for the Jade Dragon Cup, how can he not see that the cup is stained with red? Scorpion powder? I sprayed that 'three centipede and five beetle smoke' on the hall, how could my master and the old man not realize it?" These two sentences only made Shi Wan'an's cheeks turn red, and it was difficult for him to answer.When he was a teenager, he studied with Master Wu'an in the same discipline, because he used poison unrestrainedly and hurt good people more, so he was expelled from the school by his master.In the following decades, he fought Wuqi several times.Both of them are great experts in poisoning, the medicines used by both sides are powerful and the poisons are strange, one can imagine.Several times of fighting, Shi Wan'an has always been subdued by Bian Feng. If Master Wu'an hadn't always thought of the friendship of the same family and was merciful, he would have taken his life already.During the last fight against poison, Shi Wan'an was finally blinded by the heartbroken grass.

He fled to the Savage Mountains in Burma, and used silver spider silk to gradually pull out the poison of the heartbroken weed. Only then did he regain his eyesight. Although he could see the sun again, his eyesight was greatly damaged.The Jade Dragon cup was stained with red scorpion powder, and the color of the smoke from the dry pipe was slightly different, and he couldn't distinguish these subtleties.What's more, after Cheng Lingsu cultivated the "King of All Poisons" Begonia with seven hearts, the powder of the leaves of Begonia with seven hearts was mixed into the red scorpion powder, and the flower stamens of Begonia with seven hearts were added to the smoke of three centipedes and five toads. Lost all, but the toxicity is even more severe.

Shi Wan'an spent ten years in the Savage Mountain before he managed to heal his eyes. When he returned to the Central Plains, he heard the news of Master Wu'an's death. Once the Taoist died, he would be able to rule the world. Unexpectedly, the senior brother is so young. How can a closed door disciple have such great kung fu?That night Cheng Lingsu disguised himself as a dry old woman, Shi Wan'an knew everything about being a master of poison in the world, he really never dreamed that this little old woman would make him fall into a big somersault just by puffing a few puffs of cigarettes beside him .

Cheng Lingsu's two words only made him speechless.But Murong Jingyue said: "Junior Sister, you offended Master Uncle, and you still don't kowtow to apologize, you are really arrogant and bold. When the old man got angry, he immediately told you to die without a place to bury you. Both Junior Sister Xue and I have already joined his family , you obediently donate "The God of Medicine", and the old man likes it, so he also accepts you as a disciple, wouldn't it be good?" Cheng Lingsu was extremely angry, and thought to herself that this senior brother and sister betrayed their master and joined the abandoned disciples of their own school. .She remained calm and said: "It turns out that the two of you have changed to Senior Shi's sect, so I can no longer call you brothers and sisters. Where is Senior Brother Jiang? Has he also joined Senior Shi's sect?" Murong Jingyue said: "Junior brother Jiang is ignorant of current affairs and does not listen to instructions. He has already been executed for my master." Cheng Lingsu felt sour. Jiang Tieshan was an upright person. Although she acted brutally, she was the most upright among her three senior brothers and sisters. Unexpectedly, she died at the hands of Shi Wan'an. She asked again: "Sister Xue, where is Xiao Tie? Is he fine?" " Xue Que said coldly, "He's dead too." Cheng Lingsu said, "I don't know what kind of disease it is?" Xue Que said angrily, "It's my son, what do you want me to do?" Cheng Lingsu said, "Yes , my younger sister shouldn't meddle in other people's business. I haven't congratulated the two of you yet, when did Big Brother Murong and Third Sister Xue get married? Let's study together, and we don't even invite my younger sister to a cup of wedding wine." Murong Jingyue, Jiang Tieshan, and Xue Que are entangled in grievances and grievances all their lives, which is miserable and terrifying.Cheng Lingsu knew the twists and turns in the process, and thought: "Second Senior Brother died under Shi Wan'an. I think it was because he refused to betray his predecessor and joined his sect, but it may not be because of Senior Brother's instigation. How could Third Senior Sister die?" If you remarry a big brother, you may also be guilty of murdering your own husband." Sighed: "Xiao Tie was poisoned that day, and it took a lot of effort for my younger sister to try to save him. Unexpectedly, he still died under the peach blossom, That counts as well.” Murong Jingyue's face changed drastically, and he said, "How do you know Tao..." When he said the word "Peach", he suddenly stopped talking, and exchanged a glance with Xue Que.Cheng Lingsu said: "Little sister is just guessing." It turned out that Murong Jingyue had a unique skill in poisoning. He collected the poison of Peach Blossom Miasma at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou and made a poisonous bomb.Jiang Tieshan, Xue Que and his wife have fought with him for many years, and later they also developed a method of detoxification.Cheng Lingsu was well aware of the details of the three of them, so he made a probing statement. Firstly, Murong Jingyue thought the matter was true, and secondly, came out of nowhere, so he casually admitted it. Cheng Lingsu was even angrier in his heart, and said: "Third Senior Sister, you are so vicious. Second Senior Brother treats you like this. You actually conspired with Senior Brother to kill your husband and son." Jiang Xiaotie was poisoned by Murong Jingyue's peach blossom rash Later, Jiang Tieshan could have been rescued, but if he didn't save him, most likely he had been murdered first, and Xue Que couldn't bear to save him, so although she didn't personally kill Jiang Tieshan and Jiang Xiaotie's father and son, she was also an accomplice.From the few words that Murong Jingyue blurted out, Cheng Lingsu guessed the inside story of this tragic change in human relations. Xue He was eager to change the subject, and said: "Little Junior Sister, it's your luck that my teacher pays attention to you. Why don't you kowtow to worship your teacher?" Cheng Lingsu said: "If I don't worship my teacher, I will be the same as my second brother. Isn't it?" Murong Jingyue said: "That may not be the case. If you are blessed and don't enjoy it, why should others force you? You should hand over the "Medical King God Chapter". My teacher is lenient, you I will not be held accountable for offending his old man during the master meeting." Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "That's not bad, but "The God of Medicine" was written by my master Wu'an himself. My teacher is modest and signed the book as "Wu'an Medicine Record". Changing to join Senior Shi's sect, you should abandon the kung fu taught by your predecessor and learn from the beginning. Senior Shi is from a different family and must have their own strengths, otherwise the two would not worship another master, so why not be blessed? I will enjoy' and 'it's my luck'. Since the "Yao Wang Shen Pian" is useless, my little sister should burn it!" He took out a yellow paper manuscript from his pocket, Turn on the torch and click on the booklet. When Shi Wan'an first heard her saying that he was going to burn "The God of Medicine King", he secretly laughed in his heart: "This "The God of Medicine King" is the culmination of Wu'an Thief Xiu's life's painstaking efforts, why are you willing to burn it?" Waiting to see her He took out the copy and the fire book, and thought: "You cunning little girl, knowing that your senior brother and sister are going to snatch the "Yao Wang Shen Pian", why don't you fake a fake book to deceive people? Put on an air in front of me, Isn't that just playing tricks?" So even though she saw her setting fire to the books, she just smiled and didn't speak, and ignored her.After the copy was smoked by the heat, I turned it over, and saw that the paper was old, and the handwriting in the copy seemed to be Wu'an's handwriting. She memorizes Chinese characters very well, this book is useless to her, so she must never burn it!" He hurriedly said: "Stop!" He slashed away with his palm, and a gust of wind immediately extinguished the fire. Cheng Lingsu said: "Hey, I don't understand this. If Senior Shi's medical skill is better than that of his predecessor, what is the use of this book? If he can't beat his predecessor, how can he accept juniors as his disciples?" Murong Jingyue said: "Our master's use of poisons and medicines is much higher than that of our predecessors. But the sea does not choose trickles, and stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. This "The King of Medicine" I have spent my teacher’s life-long painstaking efforts, and my teacher can use it to read it and point out the mistakes and deficiencies.” He was born as a scholar, and he has a lot of literary and strong words. Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "Your knowledge is getting better and better. Hmph! Two are hiding in the corner of the door, and one is hiding under the bed, trying to plot against Brother Hu and me. Senior Shi, there is one thing this junior wants to ask. After being cleared of the maze, the junior presented the "Yao Wang Shen Pian" with both hands, and begged the senior to accept the junior as a disciple." Shi Wan knew that what she asked must be a tricky and weird question, and he might not be able to answer it, but seeing that "The God of Medicine King" was grasped in her hands, and she could destroy it with a single move of her hand, he didn't want to deal with her just because of this. With a broken face, he said, "What do you want to ask me?" Cheng Lingsu said: "The Miao people in Guizhou have a kind of 'Green Silkworm Poison Gu'..." Shi Wan'an heard the word "Bixiang Poison Gu", his expression changed immediately, and she continued: "Take the green silkworm poison Gu Insect eggs are ground into powder and placed on clothes and utensils, and others accidentally touch it without knowing it, and they are poisoned by the Gu poison. This is one of the three major Gu poisons of the Miao people, isn't it?" Shi Wan'an nodded and said, "That's right. The little girl knows quite a few things." He came to the Central Plains from Savage Mountain, and learned that Master Wu'an was dead and he could not take revenge, so he vented his anger on his disciples and wanted to kill them all as soon as possible.Unexpectedly, Murong Jingyue is extremely spineless, as soon as Shi Wan'an restrained him, he begged for mercy, and said that his master left a copy of "The God of Medicine", which fell into the hands of his junior sister, and he was willing to worship him as a teacher and guide him to seize.Although Shi Wan'an hated Master Wu'an for cutting his bones, he was in awe of him in his heart. He heard that he had left a legacy, and guessed that among them, there must be countless precious methods in kung fu knowledge about using poison, so he immediately accepted Murong. Jing Yue is a disciple.Later, he followed his instigation, killed Jiang Tieshan and his son, and included Xue Que.Shi Wan'an, Murong Jingyue, Jiang Tieshan, and Xue Que have all fought before, seeing that the martial arts of the three of them are mediocre, and their ability to use poison is far from their master's. I heard that Cheng Lingsu is just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. He didn't even take it to heart, he thought that as long as he saw it, he wouldn't be able to grab it? After being persuaded by her in the master meeting, Shi Wan'an still didn't admit defeat, only hated that his eyes were damaged by the heartbroken grass, and his eyesight was not good, so he didn't see the red scorpion powder and the three centipedes and five beetles.But the martial arts that Hu Fei showed in the meeting made him quite afraid.He followed secretly, and when Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu went to Taoranting for their appointment, the three master and apprentice hid in the backyard of Yaowang Temple.The main purpose of the three of them was to seize the "Shen Piece of the Medicine King". Seeing that the Red Flower Society had many heroes and powerful people, they kept hiding in the backyard and did not dare to show up.It wasn't until Hu Cheng and the other two bid farewell to the heroes, and they had a meal and rest by the stream, that the three of them hid in Ma Chunhua's room.Unexpectedly, Cheng Lingsu is very clever and obedient, and he is on the alert in time for a critical moment. At this moment, when Cheng Lingsu mentioned the poisonous poisonous silkworm, he was greatly surprised: "I didn't expect this little girl to be so good, and her brothers and sisters in the same school are far behind." thought. Cheng Lingsu said again: "Put the egg powder of the green silkworm poisonous Gu on any object and container, it is colorless and odorless, and it is definitely not easy for others to detect it. It's just that the poisonous powder does not pass through flesh and blood, and the toxicity is not strong. There is a way to detoxify it." In order to be fatal, it must be spread by flesh and blood. It is difficult to have both in the world. When the human body is covered with poison powder, it will have a faint green color. Senior Shi poisoned Miss Ma's body. If only her blouse was put on, It's not easy to see, but in order to achieve perfection, even her face and hands are placed." When Hu Fei heard this, he realized that Fang Fang was so dangerous and poisonous that he put a poison on Ma Chunhua's body. He and Cheng Lingsu would definitely move her body, and they would be poisoned. People hurt themselves instead." Shi Wan'an shook the tiger brace, and there was a loud clang, and said: "Little girl, you really have some eyesight, and you can recognize my green silkworm poisonous poison. Among the Han people, you are the only second person besides me." , Very good, knowledgeable and capable. How can your brothers and sisters be as good as you?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Seniors are absurd. What the juniors don't understand is that in the posthumous book "The God of Medicine" said, If the green silkworm poison Gu is placed on the human body, if it does not appear green, it would not be difficult, but I don't know why Senior Shi would not use this method?" Shi Wan'an raised his eyebrows and said: "It's really nonsense. Among the Miao people, there is even the ancestor who released Gu, and there is no such way. Your master has never been to Miaojiang, what do you know?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Senior Said, the younger generation must believe it, but in the legacy of the former teacher, it is indeed passed down the next method. But I don't know whether the senior is right or the first teacher is right." Shi Wan said angrily: "What method is it, you can tell Listen." Cheng Lingsu said: "The younger generation has said it, but the senior will definitely not believe it. Whether it is right or wrong, you will know once you try it." Shi Wan said angrily: "How to try it?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Seniors took out the green silkworm poison Gu and put it on human hands. The younger generation took the medicine and mixed it with the method of the teacher, and saw if there was any green color." Shi Wan'an has studied poisons all his life. Yu, really wanted to know the authenticity, so he said, "Whose hand should I put it on for a test?" Cheng Lingsu said, "Senior will appoint it." Shi Wan'an thought to himself: "If you want to put it in your hand, of course you won't. If you put it in the hand of that imposing young man, you don't need to mention it." Wei Yi pondered, and said to Murong Jingyue: "Extend your left hand Come out!" Murong Jingyue jumped up and shouted: "This... this... Master, don't be fooled by this girl!" Shi Wan'an said with a sullen face, "Stretch out your left hand!" Murong Jingyue saw his master's stern expression, he didn't dare to resist, but he thought how powerful the green silkworm poisonous Gu is, if he touches his body for a while, his master will cure him with the antidote, so he won't die, but this suffering must be extremely hard to bear.He stretched out his left hand only a few feet, and immediately retracted it tremblingly.Shi Wan'an sneered and said: "Well, if you don't follow the teacher's order, that's up to you." Murong Jingyue's face became even paler when he heard the words "not follow the teacher's order". Life, willing to be punished.People like them work with poison and poison every day, and the word "punishment" is an understatement. In fact, the cruelty and cruelty contained in it make people shudder when they think about it. He was about to stretch out his hand when Xue Que suddenly said, "Master, I'll try it out." He stretched out his left hand calmly.Shi Wan said angrily: "I don't want you! Let's see if he is a man with the guts." Murong Jingyue said: "It's not that I'm afraid. I just want this little junior sister to be scheming, she must be uneasy and kind, and she won't be fooled by her." Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "Master brother is indeed very powerful. When I was with my predecessor, The former master was angry with you for everything, and now I have worshiped a new master, but the disciple is still stronger than the master." Shi Wan'an knew that what she said was sowing discord, so he gave Murong Jingyue a cold look.Murong Jingyue's heart was terrified by this look, so he had to stretch out his left hand. Shi Wan'an took out a small golden box from his bosom, gently opened it, and there were three small green silkworms wriggling in the box.He picked some green powder from the box with a small golden spoon and put it in the palm of Murong Jingyue.One of Murong Jingyue's left arms trembled more violently, his face was full of fear and anger, shock and hatred, the muscles in his cheeks couldn't stop beating, his eyes showed a light like a beast, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat. Hu Fei thought to himself: "Second sister's chess move, no matter what, always lay down a deep hatred between their master and apprentice. This Murong Jingyue will definitely avenge today's revenge on his master whenever he has a chance in the future." I saw that as soon as the green powder was put on the palm, it penetrated into the skin in a short while without a trace, but there was a faint layer of green energy in the palm, as if rubbing the grass and leaves. Shi Wan said angrily: "Little girl, let's see what you can do to keep his palm from showing the green color." Cheng Lingsu ignored him, but turned to Hu Fei and said, "Brother, I met you for the first time at the White Horse Temple by Dongting Lake that day, and we had three chapters with you, do you remember?" Hu Fei said: "Yes." Thinking: "That day she told me not to speak, not to use force with others, and not to be three steps away from her, but I didn't do any of these three things." Cheng Lingsu said: "Just remember, today you You should still do these three things, and never forget them again." Hu Fei nodded. Cheng Lingsu said: "Senior Shi, you must have Hedinghong and Peacock Gall by your side, right? These two medicines and the Silkworm Poison Gu both restrain and complement each other. If you don't believe me, please read the posthumous work of the late master." Open the yellow paper booklet and send it to Shi Wan'an.Shi Wan'an looked at it, and saw a line that read: "Crane crest red, peacock gall, mixed with green silkworm eggs, colorless and odorless, but the effect is slow." He wanted to read on, but Cheng Lingsu put The book is closed. Shi Wan'an thought to himself: "The bald fruit of the Wuchen thief is erudite, so we have to test the authenticity. If what is said is true, then this "Medical King Shenpian" is not a fake book." He studied poison all his life.In the past 20 years, he has spent even more sleepless nights and food in order to beat his senior brother, which is almost insane. Seeing this dilapidated yellow paper manuscript now, I feel that all the treasures in the world are gathered together, and it is not so precious.He is cruel and cold in nature, and he and Murong Jingyue used each other, so he had no sense of master-student relationship at all, and he thought that after trying to plant the green silkworm poison in his palm, he would definitely retaliate if he had the opportunity in the future, so he didn't care about it now And three kinds of highly poisonous drugs together, how to dissolve it afterwards, flicked the nail of the index finger of his right hand, and a dark red mist scattered into Murong Jingyue's palm, followed by flicking the nail of the middle finger, and another purple-black mist scattered into him palm. Cheng Lingsu saw that he didn't need to take the medicine bottle from his arms, and he could release the poison he needed with a flick of his fingernails. The dexterity of his hands and feet was better than his own. Cheng Lingsu couldn't help but secretly admired him. mysterious.It turned out that his belt was sewed into small grids, wrapping around his waist, no less than seventy or eighty grids, and each grid contained Tibetan medicine powder.He practiced it well, stretched out his palm, and picked out the required powder in his nails.I don't know how much effort it takes to practice to such a level that people don't know it. How can the opponent be prepared to avoid it when the poisonous powder pops out with a single gesture of the hand? Those two medicinal powders of Crane Crown Red and Peacock Gallbladder were so scattered in Murong Jingyue's palm, they were really as fast as lightning, how could he have any room to hold back?Murong Jingyue had already made up his mind that he would never allow these two kinds of highly poisonous poisons to touch his skin again, and resisted Shi Wan's face even if he tried his best. Seeing that he was so cruel to him, he would rather give in to his junior sister The combination of the three was better than the stomach being tortured endlessly by him afterwards.Unexpectedly, Shi Wan'an's method of poisoning was as fast as lightning, Murong Jingyue hadn't finished his thoughts, the two kinds of poison had already touched his palm. But seeing the red and purple mist seeping into the skin in a short while, the original faint green color on the palm of the hand disappeared immediately, no different from the normal skin. Shi Wan shouted happily: "Okay!" He stretched out his hand and grabbed the "The God of Medicine King" in Cheng Lingsu's hand. , Cheng Lingsu didn't back down, just smiled.Shi Wan'an touched the book cover with his fingers, and suddenly remembered: "This girl is that bald closed disciple, how can there be no tricks hidden in the book?" Hastily withdrew his hands, cursing in his heart: "Old Shi, old Shi! How dare you If you underestimate this girl, you will have ten lives, and they will be given to her." Murong Jingyue's palm felt numb and itchy, and the numbness and itchiness went straight to his heart, as if tens of thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart at the same time, he called tremblingly: "Junior Sister, quickly get the antidote for me." Cheng Lingsu Qi said: "Hey, Mr. Murong, how could you forget the teacher's advice? People in this sect are not allowed to release Gu, and there are nine kinds of poisons that have no antidote and must not be used." Murong Jingyue's back burst into a burst of cold sweat, and said: "The crest of the crane is red, kong... pea... sparrow gall belongs to the nine forbidden drugs, you... how did you use it on me? This... this is not disobedience to the former teacher." instruction?" Cheng Lingsu said coldly: "Mr. Murong actually still remembers the teacher, and remembers not to disobey the teacher's instruction. It's really beyond my expectations. Did I put the green silkworm poison on you? Hedinghong And peacock gall, did I put it on you? The first teacher earnestly told us not to use poison that cannot be cured even in a critical situation. This is the first great precept of our sect. Senior Shi and Mr. Murong, Sister Xue has already left the sect, so naturally there is no need to abide by these precepts. Younger sister must never forget." Murong Jingyue stretched out his right hand and grasped the pulse gate of his left hand to prevent the poisonous gas from ascending, his head was covered with cold sweat, he was speechless.Xue Que flipped his right hand, stretched out his short knife and cut two crosses in the heart of Murong Jingyue's left hand, trying to make the poison flow out with the blood, knowing that this method can't save the poison, but it can also reduce the poison a little, so he hurriedly asked: "Little sister, What does the master’s legacy say? Since the old man passed down the method of using these three kinds of poisons together, there must be a way to cure them.” Cheng Lingsu said: "Which one is the 'master' that Sister Xue refers to? Is it my younger sister's master, Master Wu'an, or the master of your virtuous couple, Senior Shi?" Xue Que was extremely angry when she heard her aggressive words He scolded her venomously, but her husband's life was at stake, so she had to give in verbally at this time, saying: "It's a foolish couple who deserve to die. I hope that my younger sister will reminisce about the old fellowship, and in the face of my first teacher, Master Wu'an." Come on, raise your hand high and save his life." Cheng Lingsu opened "The God of Medicine", pointed to two lines and said: "Sister Xue, please read, I can't be blamed for this matter." Xue Que looked along her fingers, only to see that it was written in the book: "The green silkworm poison Gu is mixed with crane crest red and peacock gall. It is highly poisonous and has no cure. Take it away." Xue Que was furious and turned around. Turning his head to Shi Wan, he said angrily: "Master, it is clearly written in the book that these three kinds of poisons are mixed together and there is no cure, but how do you try it on Jing Yue?" . In fact, Shi Wan'an didn't see these two lines in "The God of Medicine", but even if he saw it, he would definitely not be a little bit scruples because of it. This big face?He just said: "Give me that book and see what's weird in it?" Xue He was furious, knowing that if he hesitated again, her husband's life would be in danger, so with a swing of the dagger, Murong Jingyue's left arm was severed shoulder-to-shoulder.She knew that the three poisons were extremely powerful, although they penetrated from the palm, but at this time the toxicity was rising, and it was useless to just cut off the palm. Fortunately, the three medicines were mixed, and the onset was slower. At the same time, there was no wound on his palm, and the poison did not flow into the blood. Cutting off an arm temporarily saved his life, otherwise he would have died of poison.Xue Que is a disciple of Master Wu'an, she has her own ability to stop bleeding and heal wounds, she applied medicine on Murong Jingyue's wound to stop bleeding in a moment, bandaged it properly, and her technique was neat and neat. Cheng Lingsu said: "Mr. Murong, Sister Xue, I didn't intend to frame you. You two betrayed your teacher and became your teacher's enemy. You are already guilty of a crime that cannot be punished. In addition, you killed your second brother, father and son. Everyone is really angry. At present, there is only one younger sister in our sect. If the younger sister hadn't punished the two crimes against the master, would it be possible that the master's fame would fall into the hands of his enemies and disciples after his death? The second elder brother and his son died tragically, if the younger sister hadn't come out to uphold justice, wouldn't the two of them be allowed to be wronged forever?" She is thin and young, but she speaks these words with awe-inspiring authority. Hu Fei nodded secretly when he heard this, and thought: "These two are despicable and vicious, they should have been killed long ago." Only to hear her say again: "Mr. Murong's arm is gone, but the poisonous gas has already attacked his heart. Within a month, he will still die of poison The two have betrayed the sect and were murdered by others. This has nothing to do with my younger sister, but for the sake of my predecessor, here are three "Shengsheng Creation Pills", which were made by the master with several years of painstaking efforts. My younger sister Give it to you on behalf of the former teacher, each pill can prolong your life for three years. After you take it, I hope you will remember the kindness of the former teacher, and please ask yourself: "Is it your old master who treats you well, or the new master?" How are you?'" He took out three red pills from his bosom and held them in his hand. Xue Que was about to reach out to take it, but Shi Wan'an said with a sneer, "The arms are already cut off, so why are you afraid of poisonous gas attacking your heart? Once you take these three 'Death and Death Pills', it will be poisonous gas attacking your heart." Cheng Lingsu said: "If you two believe in the words of the new master, then these three pills will not be needed."Murong Jingyue said anxiously: "No! Junior Sister, please give it to me." Xue Que said: "Thank you, Junior Sister. From now on, the two of us will reform our past and start a new life." He bowed his head and walked to Cheng Lingsu, and took three Suddenly, his figure flickered, and he shouted angrily: "Shi Wan'an, you are so poisonous..." Before he could finish his sentence, he bent over and fell to the ground. Both Cheng Lingsu and Hu Fei were taken aback. They didn't see Shi Wan'an move, so why did he do it?Cheng Lingsu bent down and turned over Xue Que to see how she was hurt and whether she could be rescued. She just turned her body around when suddenly her right wrist tightened and she was caught by her left hand.Cheng Lingsu immediately knew something was wrong, and was about to slap her on the top of her head with her left hand, but she grabbed her right hand, and her whole body was numb, and she could no longer exert any strength.Xue Que held a short knife in his right hand, put the tip of the knife on Cheng Lingsu's chest, and shouted: "Put down the "Shen Pian of the King of Medicine"!" Hu Fei was about to step forward to rescue him, but when he saw Xue Que's knife pointed at Cheng Lingsu's heart, as long as he sent it forward lightly, he would die instantly. Although he was anxious, he didn't dare to do it.Xue Que held Cheng Lingsu's wrist tightly, and said, "Master, this disciple helped you get the "King of Medicine", please put the three kinds of medicines, Bi Silkworm Poison Gu, Crane Crown Red, and Peacock Gall, on this little bitch. palm, see if she can't save her own life." Shi Wan laughed angrily and said: "Good disciple, good disciple, this method is really clever." He took out the gold box, picked out the poisonous silkworm Gu with a gold spoon, and the poisonous powder of crane crest red and peacock gall were hidden in the two nails. , and put it in Cheng Lingsu's palm. After Murong Jingyue was seriously injured, although she was on the verge of falling, she knew that this was a close chance. As long as Cheng Lingsupanxin also suffered from these three poisons, if she had an antidote, she would have to take it out for self-healing, and she would be able to seize it first No, even if there is really no antidote, it is revenge for Shicai, telling her to act like Ziyao, and immediately try to stop Hu Fei in front of him, preventing him from obstructing Shi Wan'an from poisoning. When Hu Fei was unable to do anything, he suddenly saw Murong Jingyue rushing in front of him, punched him with his left hand, and hit him in the face.Murong Jingyue raised his right hand to parry, Hu Fei was desperate at this moment, there was no room for him to make another move, his left fist was not yet solid, and the palm of his right hand came out like the wind, pushing against his chest soundlessly.Although this palm was silent, it was extremely powerful, Murong Jingyue spurted out a mouthful of blood, and slammed straight into Xue Que.Xue Que was hit by this force and fell down immediately, but his left hand still firmly grasped Cheng Lingsu's wrist. Hu Fei jumped forward and kicked Xue Que's hunchback hard. Xue Que spewed blood, and his hands were weak, so he had to let go of Cheng Lingsu's wrist.As soon as Xue Que's palm was shaken away, Shi Wan'an's claws had already caught it.Hu Fei was afraid that the poison in his hand would touch Cheng Lingsu's body, so he swiped his right hand and pushed hard on Cheng Lingsu's shoulder.Shi Wan'an turned his palm and grabbed it with his right hand. Cheng Lingsu shouted anxiously: "Quickly retreat!" Hu Feiruo used the "Nine Twists and Bone Bone Technique" in his hand, which could have broken Shi Wan'an's five fingers immediately, but his fingers are highly poisonous, how dare he touch them?He hurriedly jumped back to avoid it, Shi Wan'an missed the catch, and threw the golden spoon, followed by flicking his fingers, the poisonous powder turned into smoke and sprayed on the back of Hu Fei's hand. Hu Fei didn't know that he had been poisoned, but he thought that these three people were extremely treacherous and vicious, so he was determined to kill them on the spot.Shi Wan'an didn't have time to fight back, he only felt a cold on his left hand, three fingers had been cut off.He was startled and frightened, and another puff of smoke popped out of his right hand.Cheng Lingsu exclaimed: "Brother, back up!" Hu Fei did not retreat but advanced, fearing that Cheng Lingsu would be in trouble, he snatched up and stood in front of her.Seeing Shi Wan'an and the other three escaped from the temple together.
Cheng Lingsu held Hu Fei's hand, feeling like a knife was piercing his heart. Although he had to get out of the catastrophe, in order to save himself, Hu Fei had already stained the back of his hand with three poisons: green silkworm poison, crane crown red, and peacock gall. It is clearly stated in "The King of Medicine": "The poison enters the heart, and there is no cure for it." Could it be that he cut off his right hand immediately with a knife, and then let him take the "Sheng Sheng Hao Hua Pill" to prolong his life for nine years?After these nine years, taking the "Sheng Sheng Hao Hua Pill" will no longer work. He is her only family member in this world. After spending these days with him, in her heart, everything about him has long been regarded as much more important than herself.Such a good person, could he only live another nine years? As soon as Cheng Lingsu thought about it, he made up his mind, took out a white pill, put it in Hu Fei's mouth, and said in a trembling voice: "Swallow it quickly!" Feeling terrified, he said: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" Seeing that "Yao Wang Shen Pian" fell to the ground, a gust of autumn wind passed by, turning the pages of the book, and he said: "It's a pity that these three evil thieves were not killed! It's a good thing They didn't snatch your book either. Second sister, if you get these three poisons on your hands, what will you do?" Cheng Lingsu was heartbroken, and really wanted to cry, but couldn't. Seeing her pale face, Hu Fei said softly: "Second sister, you are tired, take a break!" Cheng Lingsu choked up when he heard his gentle and considerate words, let alone his indescribable sadness, "I...I... ..." 胡斐忽觉右手手背略感麻痒，正要伸左手去搔，程灵素一把抓住了他左手手腕，颤声道：“别动！”胡斐觉得她手掌冰凉，奇道：“怎胃么？”突然间眼前一黑，仰天摔倒。 胡斐这一跤倒在地下，再也动弹不得，可是神智却极清明，只觉右手手背上一阵麻，一阵痒，越来越厉害，惊问：“我也中了那三大剧毒么？” 程灵素扑在他身上，泪水如珍珠断线般顺着面颊流下，扑簌簌地滴在胡斐衣上，缓缓点了点头。胡斐见此情景，不禁凉了半截，暗想：“她这般难过，我身上所中剧毒，定然无法救治了。”霎时之间，心头涌上了许多往事：商家堡和赵半山结拜、佛山北帝庙中的惨剧、潇湘道上结识袁紫衣、洞庭湖畔相遇程灵素，以及掌门人大会、红花会群雄、石万嗔……这一切都过去了，过去了…… 他只觉全身渐渐僵硬，手指和脚耻寒冷彻骨，说道：“二妹，生死有命，你不必难过。只可惜你一个人孤苦伶仃，大哥再也不能照料你了。那金面佛苗人凤虽是我的杀父之仇，但他慷慨豪迈，实是个铁铮铮的好汉子。我……我死之后，你去投奔他吧，要不然……”说到这里，舌头大了起来，言语模糊不清，终于再也说不出来了。 程灵素跪在他身旁，低声道：“大哥，你别害怕，你虽中三种剧毒，但我有解救之法。你不会动弹，不会说话，那是服了那颗麻药药丸的缘故。”胡斐听了大喜，眼睛登时发亮。 程灵素取出一枚金针，刺破他右手手背上的血管，将口就上，用力吮吸。胡斐大吃一惊，心想：“毒血吸人你口，不是连你也沾上了剧毒么？”可是四肢寒气逐步上移，全身再也不听使唤，哪里挣扎得了。 程灵素吸一口毒血，便吐在地下，若是寻常毒药，她可以用手指按接，从空心金针中吸出毒质，便如替苗人凤治眼一般，但碧蚕毒盛、鹤顶红、孔雀胆三大剧毒入体，又岂是此法所能奏效？她直吸了四十多口，眼见吸出来的血液已全呈鲜红之色，这才放心，吁了一口长气，柔声道：“大哥，你和我都很可怜。你心里喜欢袁姑娘，哪知道她却出家做了尼姑……我……我心里……” 她慢慢站起身来，柔情无限地瞧着胡斐，从药囊中取出两种药粉，替他敷在手背，又取出一粒黄色药丸，塞在他口中，低低地道：“我师父说中了这三种剧毒，无药可治，因为他只道世上没一个医生，肯不要自己的性命来救活病人。大哥，他决计想不到我……我会待你这样……” 胡斐只想张口大叫：“我不要你这样，不要你这样！”但除了眼光中流露出反对的神色之外，委实无法示意。 程灵素打开包裹，取出圆性送给她的那只玉凤，凄然瞧了一会儿，用一块手帕包了，放入胡斐怀里。再取出一枝蜡烛，插在神像前的烛台上，一转念间，从包中另取一枝烛身较细的蜡烛，拗去半截，晃火折点燃了，放在后院天井中，让蜡烛烧了一会儿，再取回来放在烛台旁，另取一枝新烛插上烛台。她又从怀里取出一颗黄色药丸，喂在胡斐嘴里。 胡斐瞧着她这般细心布置，不知是何用意，只听她道：“大哥，有一件事我本来不想跟你说，以免惹起你伤心。现下咱们要分手了，不得不说。在掌门人大会之中，我那狠毒的师叔和田归农相遇之时，你可瞧出溪晓来么？他二人是早就相识的。田归农用来毒瞎苗大侠眼睛的断肠草，定是石万嗔给的。你爹爹所以中毒，刀上毒药多半也是石万嗔配制的。”胡斐登时心中雪亮，只想大叫：“不错！” 程灵素道：“你爹爹妈妈去世之时，我尚未出生，我那几个师兄师姊，也年纪尚小，未曾投师学艺。那时候当世擅于用毒之人，只先师和石万嗔二人。苗大侠疑心毒药是我师父给的，因之跟他失和动手，我师父既然说不是，当然不是了。我虽疑心这个师叔，可是并无佐证，本来想慢慢查明白了，如果是他，再设法为你报仇。今日事已如此，不管怎样，总之是要杀了他……”说到这里，体内毒性发作，身子摇晃了几下，摔在胡斐身边。 胡斐见她慢慢合上眼睛，口角边流出一条血丝，真如是万把钢锥在心中攒刺一般，只想紧紧抱住她，张口大叫：“二妹，二妹！”但便如深夜梦魇，不论如何大呼大号，总是喊不出半点声息，心里虽然明白，却连一根小指头儿也转动不得。 便是这样，胡斐并肩和程灵素的尸身躺在地下，从上午挨到下午，又从下午挨到黄昏。那碧蚕毒蛊、鹤顶红、孔雀胆三大剧毒的毒性何等厉害，虽然程灵素为他吸出了毒血，但毒药已侵入过身体，全身肌肉僵硬，非等到一日一夜之后，不能动弹。这几个时辰中他心中之苦，真不是常人所能想象。 眼见天色渐渐黑了下来，他身子兀自不能转动，只知程灵素躺胃在自己身旁，可是想转头瞧她一眼，却也不能。 又过了两个多时辰，只听得远处树林中传来一声声枭鸣，突然之间，几个人的脚步声悄悄到了庙外。只听得一人低声道：“薛鹊，你进去瞧瞧。”正是石万嗔的声音。 胡斐暗叫：“罢了，罢了！我一动也不能动，只有静待宰割的份儿。二妹啊二妹，你为了救我性命，给我服下麻药，可是药性太烈，不知何时方消，此刻敌人转头又来，我还是要跟你同赴黄泉。虽死不足惜，但这番大仇，却再难得报了。”其实此时麻药的药性早退，他所以肌肉僵硬如尸，全因三大剧毒之故。 只听得薛鹊轻轻闪身进来，躲在门后，向内张望。她不敢晃亮火折，黑暗中却又瞧不见什么，侧耳倾听，寂无声息，便回出庙门，向石万嗔说了。 石万嗔点头道：“那小子手背上给我弹上了三大剧毒，这当儿不是命赴阴曹，便是一条手臂齐肩切了下来。剩下那小丫头一人，何足道哉！就怕两个小鬼早已逃得远了。”他话是这么说，仍不敢托大，取出虎撑呛啷啷地摇动，护住前胸，这才缓步走进庙门。 走到殿上，黑暗中只见两个人躺在地下，他不敢便此走近，拾起一粒石子，向两人投去，只见两人仍一动不动，晃亮火折看时，见地下那两人正是胡斐和程灵素。眼见两人全身僵直，显已死去多时。石万嗔大喜，一探程灵素鼻息，早已颜面冰冷，没了气息，再伸手去探胡斐鼻息时，胡斐双目紧闭，凝住呼吸。 石万嗔不敢有丝毫大意，只觉他颜面微温，并未死透，取出一根金针，在程胡两人手心中各自刺了一下，他们如乔装假死，这么一刺，手掌非麵动不可。程灵素真的已死，胡斐肌肉尚僵，金针虽刺人他掌心知觉最锐敏之处，仍全无反应。 慕容景岳恨恨地道：“这丫头吮吸情郎手背的毒药，岂不知情郎没救活，连带送了自己性命。” 石万嗔急于找那册《药王神篇》，眼见火折将要烧尽，便凑到烛台上去点蜡烛。火焰刚和烛芯相碰，心念一动：“这枝蜡烛没点过，说不定有什么古怪。”见烛台下放着半截点过的蜡烛，心想：“这半截错烛是点过的，定然无妨。”拔下烛台上那枝没点过的蜡烛，换上半截残烛，用火折点燃了。 烛光一亮，三人同时看到了地下的《药王神篇》，齐声喜呼。石万嗔斯下一块衣襟，垫在手上，这才隔着布料将册子拾起。凑到烛火旁翻动书页，只见密密写着一行行蝇头小楷，果然是诸般医术和药性，但略一检视，其中治病救伤的医道占了九成以上。说到毒药之时，也多为阐述解毒救治，至于如何炼毒施毒，以及诸般种植毒草、培养毒虫之法，却说得极为简咯。原来无嗔大师晚年深悔一生用毒太多，以致在江湖上得了个毒手药王的名号，是以传给弟子的遗书，名为《无嗔医药录》，乃是一部济世救人的医书药书。 石万嗔、慕容景岳、薛鹊三人处心积虑想要劫夺到手的，原想是一部包罗万有、神奇奥妙的“毒经”，此时一看，竟是一部医书，纵然其中所载医术精深，于他却全无用处，石万嗔自大失所望。 他凝思片刻，对薛鹊道：“你搜搜那死丫头的身边，是否另有别的书册。这一部只是医书，没什么用。”说着随手扔在神台之上。薛鹊细搜程灵素的衣衫和包裹，说道：“没有。” 慕容景岳猛地想起一事，道：“我那师父善写隐形字体，莫非……”这句话一出口，登时好生后悔，暗想：“该死！该死！我何必说了出来？任他以为此书无用，我捡回去细细探索，岂不是好？”但石万嗔何等机伶，立时醒悟，说道：“不错！”又拣起那部《药王神篇》。 一转身间，只见慕容景岳和薛鹊双膝渐渐弯曲，身子软了下来，脸上似笑非笑，神情诡异。石万嗔大吃一惊，叫道：“怎么啦？七心海棠，七心海棠？难道死丫头种成了七心海棠？景岳与薛鹊怎不向我東告？这两个家伙，唉！这……这蜡烛……” 脑海中犹如电光一闪，想起了少年时和无嗔同门学艺时的情景： 一天晚上，师父讲到天下的毒物之王，他说鹤顶红、孔雀胆、墨妹汁、腐肉奇、彩虹菌、碧蚕卵、蝮蛇涎、番木鳖、白薯芽等等，都还不是最厉害的毒物，最可怕的是七心海棠。这毒物无色无臭，无影无踪，再精明细心的人也防备不了，不知不觉之间，已中毒而死。死者脸上始终带着微笑，似乎十分平安喜乐。师父曾从海外得了这七心海棠的种子，可是不论用什么方法，都种它不活。那天晚上，师兄和他自己都向师父讨了九粒七心海棠的种子。师父微笑道：“幸好这七心海棠难以培植，否则世上还有谁得能平安。” 瞧慕容景岳和薛鹊的情状，正是中了七心海棠之毒，他立即屏住呼吸，伸手按住口鼻，正想细察毒从何来，突然间眼前漆黑一片，再也瞧不见什么了。一瞬之间，他还道是赌烛熄灭，但随即发觉，却是自己双眼陡然间再度失明。惊慌之中，失手将《药王神篇》抛落在地。 “七心海棠！七心海棠！”他知道幸亏在进庙之前，口中先含了化解百毒的丹药，七心海棠的毒性一时才不致侵人脏腑，但双目曾经受损，已先抵受不住，竟然又盲了。 胡斐事先却曾得程灵素喂了抵御七心海棠毒性的黄丸解药，双目无恙，一切看得清清楚楚，眼见慕容景岳和薛鹊慢慢软倒，眼见石万嗔双手在空中胡抓乱扑，大叫：“七心海棠，七心海棠！”冲出庙去。只听他凄厉的叫声渐渐远去，静夜之中，虽然隔了良久，还听得他的叫声隐隐从旷野间传来，有如发狂的野兽嗥叫：“七心海棠！七心海棠！” 胡斐身旁躺着三具尸首，一个是他义结金兰的小妹子程灵素，两个是他义妹的对头、背叛师门的师兄师姊。破庙中一枝黯淡的錯烛，随风摇曳，忽明忽暗，他身上说不出的寒冷，心中说不出的凄凉。 终于錯烛点到了尽头，忽地一亮，火焰吐红，一声轻响，破庙中漆黑一团。 胡斐心想：“我二妹便如这蜡烛一样，点到了尽头，再也不能发出光亮了。她一切全算到了，料得石万嗔他们一定还要再来，料到他小心谨慎不敢点新错烛，便将那枚混有七心海棠花粉的蜡烛先行糊去半截，诱他上钩。她早死了，在死后还是杀了两个仇人。她一生没害过一个人的性命，她虽是毒手药王的弟子，生平却从未杀过人。她是在自己死了之后，再来清理师父门户，再来杀死这两个狼心狗肺的师兄师姊。 “她没跟我说自己的身世，我不知她父亲母亲是怎样的人，不知她为什么要跟无嗔大师学这一身可惊可怖的本事。我常向她说我自己的事，她总是关切地听着。我多想听她说说她自己的事，可是从今以后，再也听不到了。 “二妹总是处处想到我，处处为我打算。我有什么好，值得她对我这样？值得她用自己的性命，来换我的性命？其实，她根本不必这样，只须割了我的手臂，用他师父的丹药，让我在这世界上再活九年。九年的时光，那已足够了！我们一起快快乐乐地度过九年，就算她要陪着我死，那时候再死不好么？” 忽然想起：“我说'快快乐乐'，这九年之中，我是不是真的会快快乐乐？二妹知道我一直喜欢袁姑娘，虽然发觉她是个尼姑，但思念之情，并不稍减。那么她今日宁可一死，是不是为此呢？” 在那无边无际的黑暗之中，心中思潮起伏，想起了许许多多事情。程灵素的一言一语，一颦一笑，当时漫不在意，此刻追忆起来，其中所含的柔情蜜意，才清清楚楚地显现出来。 小妹子对情郎——恩情深， 你莫负了妹子——一段情， When you see her face—be good to her, When you don't see her face—you have to worry about it seventeen or eight times a day! 王铁匠那首情歌，似乎又在耳边缠绕，“我要待她好，可是……可是……她已经死了。她活着的时候，我没待她好，我天天十七八逋挂在心上的，是另一个姑娘。” 天渐渐亮了，阳光从窗中射进来照在身上，胡斐却只感到寒冷，寒冷…… 终于，他觉到身上的肌肉柔软起来，手臂可以微微抬一下了，大腿可以动一下了。他双手撑地，慢慢站起，深情无限地望着程灵素。突然之间，胸中热血沸腾。“我活在这世上有什么意思？二妹对我这么多情，我却如此薄幸地待她！不如跟她一齐死了！” 但一瞥眼看到慕容景岳和薛鹊的尸身，立时想起：“爹娘的大仇还没报，害死二妹的石万嗔还活在世上。我这么轻生一死，什么都撒手不管，岂是大丈夫的行径？” 却原来，程灵素在临死之时，这件事也料到了。她将七心海棠错烛换了一枝细身的，毒药分量较轻的，她不要石万嗔当场便死，要胡斐慢慢地去找他报仇。石万嗔眼睛瞎了，胡斐便永远不会再吃他亏。她临死时对胡斐说道，害死他父母的毒药，多半是石万嗔配制的。那或许是实情，或许只是猜测，但这足够叫他记着父母之仇，使他不至于一时冲动，自杀殉情。 她什么都料到了，只是，她有一件事没料到。胡斐还是没遵照她的约法三章，在她危急之际，仍出手和敌人动武，终致身中剧毒。 又或许，这也是在她意料之中。她知道胡斐并没爱她，更没有像自己爱他一般深切地爱着自己，但他仁厚侠义，真心待自己好，自己遭到危难之时，他必不顾性命地来救。不如就这样了结。用情郎身上的毒血，毒死了自己，救了情郎的性命。 很凄凉，很伤心，可是干净利落，一了百了，那正不愧为毒手药王的弟子，不愧为天下第一毒物“七心海棠”的主人。 少女的心事本来是极难捉摸的，像程灵素那样的少女，更加永远没人能猜得透到底她心中在想些什么。 突然之间，胡斐明白了一件事：“为什么前天晚上在陶然亭畔，陈总舵主祭奠墓中那个姑娘时，竟哭得那么伤心？”原籴，当你想到最亲爱的人永远不能再见面时，不由得你不哭，不由得你不哭得这么伤心。 他将程灵素和马春花的尸身搬到破庙后院。心想：“两人的尸身上都沾着剧毒，须得小心，别沾上了。我还没报仇，可死不得！”生起柴火，分别将两人火化了。他心中空空洞洞，似乎自己的身子，也随着火焰成烟成灰，随手在地下掘了个大坑，把慕容景岳和薛鹊夫妇葬了。 眼见日光西斜，程灵素和马春花尸骨成灰，在庙中找了两个小小瓦坛，将两人的骨灰分别收人坛内，心想：“我去将二妹的骨灰葬在我爹娘坟旁，她虽不是我亲妹子，但她如此待我，岂不比亲骨肉还亲么？马姑娘的骨灰，要带去湖北广水，葬在徐大哥墓旁。” 回到厢房，见程灵素的衣服包裹兀自放在桌上，凝目良久，忍不住又掉下泪来。 隔了半晌，这才伸手收拾，见到包中有几件易容改装的用具，胶水假须，一概具备，心想：“我若坦然以本来面目示人，走不上一天，便会遇上福康安派出来追捕的鹰爪，虽然不怕，但一路斗将过去，如何了局？”于是脸上搽了易容药水，粘上三绺长须，将两只骨灰坛连同那本《药王神篇》包人包裹，负在背上，扬长出庙。
他一路向南追踪石万嗔。 这日中午，在陈官屯一家饭铺中打尖，刚坐定不久，只听得靴声棄棄，走进四名武官。领先一人瘦长身材，正是鹰爪雁行门的曾铁鸦。胡斐微微一惊，侧过了头，自已虽已乔装改扮，他未必认得出来，但此人甚精明，说不定会给他瞧出破绽。 饭铺中的店小二手忙脚乱，张罗着侍候四位武官。 胡斐心想：“这四人出京南下，多半和我的事有关，倒要听他们说些什么。”可是曾铁鸥等四人风花雪月，尽说些没要紧之事，只听得他好生纳闷。 便在此时，忽听得店外青石板上笃笃声响，有个盲人以杖探地，慢慢进来。 那人一进饭铺，胡斐心怦怦乱跳，这几日来他一路打探石万嗔的踪迹，追寻而来，心知和他相距已经不远，此人盲了双眼，行走不快，迟早终须追上，不料竟在这小镇上的饭店中狭路相逢。只见他衣衫褴褛，面目憔悴，左手兀自摇着那只走方郎中所用的虎撑。 他摸索
