With a whoosh, a feathered arrow shot out from behind the eastern mountain col. With a whining sound, it crossed the sky and penetrated into the neck of a flying goose.The wild goose made a few somersaults in the air with the feathered arrow and landed on the snow. A few tens of feet away to the west, four horses rode on the white snow, galloping in a hurry.Immediately, the passengers heard the sound of arrows and reined in unanimously.The four horses were all tall and fat horses, and they stopped immediately when they were restrained.The rider's riding skills are excellent, and the animals have also been trained for a long time. When the horse is reined in, it looks like it is on the saddle and the crotch, and both are strong and healthy.When the four people saw the arrow falling from the wild goose, they all applauded in their hearts, they wanted to see who the arrow was.

After waiting for a while, no one came out from the mountain depression, but the sound of horseshoes was heard, and the archer left by himself.Among the four passengers, a slender, fierce-looking old man frowned slightly, galloped his horse towards the mountain depression, and the other three followed.Turning around the side of the mountain, I saw Xu Waiwu in front riding a horse galloping vigorously, his iron hooves splashing snow, and his silver mane riding the wind, seeing that he couldn't catch up.The old man waved his hand and said, "Senior brother Yin, this is a little bit evil."

That "Senior Brother Yin" was also an old man, slightly fat, with two mustaches, wearing a mink fur coat, and looking like a wealthy businessman. Swing it out, and with a bang, it lashes towards the snow, and the whip tip rolls the wild goose up.Holding the arrow shaft in his left hand, he looked at it and exclaimed, "Ah!" The three of them heard the cry and galloped close on their horses.The "Senior Brother Yin" even threw the arrow at the old man with the geese, and shouted: "Senior Brother Ruan, please look!" The thin elder stretched out his left hand and took it, looked at the feathered arrow, and shouted: "Here it is, hurry up! "Le turned the horse's head and chased after him first.

The other two are middle-aged, one is tall and broad, riding on a tall horse.The other is of medium build, with a pale face and red nose from the cold.The four of them whistled in unison, the four horses sprayed into fog, and suddenly Lala let out their hoofs and rushed away.There is snow everywhere on this white hillside, and there are no pedestrians around, so it is easy to track. This is March 15th in the forty-fifth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.This day in the south of the Yangtze River has already been full of flowers, but in this bitterly cold place under the Changbai Mountain outside the pass, the snow has just melted, and there is no spring atmosphere at all.The eastern red sun has just risen from behind the mountain, and the pale yellow sun shines on the body, but there is no warmth.

Although it was cold in the mountain, the four riders galloped down on their horses, and soon everyone was sweating. The tall man took off his coat and put it on the pommel.He was wearing a blue silk and leather robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, his brows were deeply furrowed, his face was full of anger, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, and he kept urging his horse to run wildly. This person is "Tenglongjian" Cao Yunqi, the new head of the Beizong of Tianlongmen in Liaodong.Tianlongmen is a master of both swords and swords, and he has achieved quite a lot in what he has learned.The white-faced man is his junior brother "Huilongjian" Zhou Yunyang.The tall and thin old man is their uncle "Seven Star Hand" Ruan Shizhong, who is regarded as the number one expert in the Northern Sect of Tianlongmen.The old man with the appearance of a wealthy businessman is Yin Ji, the head of the southern sect of Tianlongmen "Megatron Tiannan".

The four people's crotch rides are all good horses from outside the Guan, they travel very fast, after running for seven or eight miles in one breath, the five rides in front are not far away.Cao Yunqi shouted loudly: "Hey, good friend, stop!" The five people in front ignored them and galloped even faster.Cao Yunqi shouted sharply: "If you don't stop, don't blame us for being rude!" Only one person in front could hear his tongue rolling, and with a beep, he reined in his horse and turned around, but the other four continued to run.Cao Yunqi took the lead, but he saw the man bent his bow and set his arrow, and the point of the arrow pointed to his chest.Cao Yunqi was so bold that he didn't take his hard bow and arrows to heart, raised his whip and shouted: "Hey, is that brother Tao Shi?"

The man had a handsome face, eyebrows slanted, and was about twenty-three or four years old. He was wearing a strong outfit. Hearing Cao Yunqi's cry, he laughed loudly, and shouted, "Look at the arrow!" The arrows are shot in three directions, up, middle and down. Cao Yunqi didn't expect his three arrows to come so quickly. He was slightly startled. He threw out his whip and knocked out the two arrows from the top and the middle. Then he lifted the rein, and the horse jumped up, and the third arrow stuck to it. The horse's belly passed between the four legs, the difference was only a few inches.The young man laughed, turned the horse's head, picked up the rein and ran.

Cao Yunqi's face was ashen, and he galloped his horse to drive away.Ruan Shizhong shouted: "Yun Qi, hold your breath, I'm not afraid that he will fly into the sky." He got off his horse and picked up the three feathered arrows in the snow.Yin Ji snorted with a sullen face, and said: "It really is this kid!" Cao Yunqi said: "Wait a minute, Junior Sister, what else can she say?" The four waited for a meal, but they couldn't hear the sound of horseshoes on the road.Cao Yunqi became anxious and said, "Let me have a look!" He patted his horse and hurried back.Ruan Shizhong looked at his back, sighed, and said, "It's no wonder I got him." Yin Ji said, "Senior Brother Ruan, what did you say?" Ruan Shizhong shook his head, but didn't answer.

Cao Yunqi ran for several miles, only to see a gray horse standing empty in the snow, and a girl in white kneeling on the ground, bending over as if looking for something in the snow.Cao Yunqi called out: "Junior Sister, what's the matter?" The girl didn't answer, and immediately stood up straight, holding a yellow object in her hand, which shone brightly in the sun.Cao Yunqi approached and took it, and saw that it was a small pen made of gold, about three inches long, with a sharp tip, very delicately crafted, and a small word "An" was engraved on the barrel.This golden pen seems to be a plaything, but it can also be used as a hidden weapon. She couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "Where did it come from?" The girl said, "After you leave, I will follow and rush here. Chasing from behind, the horse was so fast, it passed me in a short while. Immediately, the passenger raised his hand and threw this little pen at me, throwing me... me..." At this point, my face suddenly became dizzy Hong, mumbled and couldn't continue.

Cao Yunqi stared at her, and saw a faint layer of rouge under her creamy snowy skin, her eyelashes drooping slightly, she was ashamed of a daughter, charming and charming, she couldn't help but feel a wave in her chest, and then doubts arose, Asked: "Do you know who we are chasing?" The girl said: "Who?" Cao Yunqi said coldly: "Hmph, you really don't know?" The girl raised her head and said: "How do I know?" Cao Yunqi Said: "It's your sweetheart." The girl blurted out: "Tao Zian?"Cao Yunqi's brows seemed to be covered with a black cloud, and he shouted, "Whenever I say I'm your sweetheart, you just say Tao Zian!"

Hearing what he said, the girl's face became even redder, tears rolled back and forth in her clear eyes, she stamped her feet and cried, "He...he..." Cao Yunqi said: "He...what's wrong with him?" The girl said: "He is my husband who has never been married, so he is my sweetheart." Cao Yunqi was furious, and with a swipe sound, he drew out his long sword.Instead, the girl took a step forward and shouted: "Kill me if you have the guts." Cao Yunqi gritted his teeth, looked at her slightly raised face, felt tenderness in his heart, and shouted: "That's it, that's it!" He returned a sword and pierced his heart fiercely. The girl drew her sword with her backhand, and turned her arm back sharply. She shot very quickly. With a "dang" sound, the two swords intersected, bursting out several sparks.Cao Yunqi said bitterly: "Since you don't take me seriously, why do you want me to suffer so much in this world?" The girl slowly sheathed her sword and said in a low voice: "You knew earlier, it was Daddy who betrothed me Give it to him, is it my own decision?" Cao Yunqi raised his eyebrows and said, "I would like to wander the world with you, living in seclusion in a deserted island and deep in the mountains, why don't you agree?" The girl sighed He said in one breath: "Senior brother, I know you are infatuated with me, and I am not a fool, how can I not read your mind. But you are in charge of my Tianlong Beizong sect, if you do such a thing, Tianlongmen will be famous Sweeping the floor, what's the face in the rivers and lakes?" Cao Yunqi said loudly: "I'm willing to break my body and bones for you. I don't care if the sky falls, and I don't care whether he is in charge of the sect." The girl smiled slightly, gently held his hand, and said: "Senior Brother , I just don’t love your flaming, desperate temper.” After Cao Yunqi told her this, he couldn't get angry anymore, sighed, and said, "Why do you treat the thing he gave you as a treasure again?" The girl said, "Who said he gave it to me? Have you seen him come?" Cao Yunqi said: "Hmph, does anyone really use such a valuable thing as a hidden weapon? His name is not clearly engraved on this pen? If it wasn't him, who gave it to you?" The girl said angrily: " Since you are so suspicious, don't talk to me before it's too late." Going to the side of the gray horse, he jumped on the horse's back, and as soon as the rein was lifted, the horse let go of its hooves and galloped away. Cao Yunqi hurriedly got on his horse and chased after him, stretched out his leather boots and kicked the horse's belly, he caught up in a short while, leaned forward, grabbed the gray horse's bridle with his right hand, and shouted: "Junior Sister, listen to me." The girl raised her whip , pulled it into his hand, and shouted: "Let go! What will it look like for others to see?" Cao Yunqi didn't let go, and with a snap, a bloodstain appeared on the back of his hand.The girl couldn't bear it, and said, "Why are you messing with me again?" Cao Yunqi said, "It's my fault, so hit me again!" The girl smiled sweetly, and said, "My hands are sore, I can't move anymore." Cao Yunqi smiled and said, "I'll beat you up." He stretched out his hand to pull her arm.The girl hit the head with a whip, Cao Yunqi tilted his head, this time he dodged the whip, and said with a smile, "Why aren't your hands sore anymore?" The girl straightened her face and said, "I told you not to touch me." Cao Yunqi smiled apologetically and said, "Okay, then tell me where did this gold pen come from." The girl smiled and said, "It was given by my sweetheart. If it wasn't from him, who else would give it to me? Could it be you gave it to me?" Cao Yunqi's heart skipped a beat. Sour, hot blood surged up, and was about to attack again, but seeing her smile like a flower, her red lips trembling slightly, revealing a mouthful of jade-like teeth, her anger sank immediately.The girl glared at him, sighed softly, and said softly: "Senior brother, I have been taken care of by you since I was a child, and you treat me better than my own brother. I am not a heartless person, why don't I want to repay you?" What's more about us... It's just that I'm in a difficult situation. You have always pitied me and loved me, but now that my father died tragically, and my Tianlongmen is facing a critical moment of success or failure, why don't you understand me?" Cao Yunqi was stunned for a long time, and then Having nothing to say, he waved his left hand and said, "You are always right, I am always wrong, let's go!" The girl smiled sweetly and said, "Wait a minute!" He took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat off his brow, and said, "In the heavy snow, if you don't wipe off your sweat, don't catch a cold." Cao Yunqi sweetly said no It was good enough, and his anger disappeared immediately, and he swiped the whip lightly on the girl's gray horse's buttocks.The two rode together and galloped side by side. The girl's name is Tian Qingwen, although she is young, she is quite famous in the martial arts outside the pass.Because of her beautiful appearance and witty personality, the Duke of Wulin in Liaodong gave her a nickname, "Jinmao Diao".That mink walked like flying in the snow, smart and clever, the word "Jinmao" can describe her beauty.She was born to her father Tian Guinong's ex-wife. Tian Guinong passed away not long ago, so she is completely naked and wears heavy filial piety.
The two rushed for a while and caught up with Yin Ji, Ruan Shizhong and Zhou Yunyang.Ruan Shizhong glanced at Cao Yunqi, and said, "I've been away for so long, what have you seen?" Cao Yunqi blushed, and said, "I didn't see anything." With his legs clamped, he galloped his horse. After running for several miles, the mountain became steeper, the snow was thick, and the horse's hooves slipped and slipped.Turning over two mountain depressions, the mountain road is even more steep.Suddenly he heard a horse neighing from the left, Cao Yunqi put his right foot on the stirrup, flew out obliquely, landed behind a big pine tree, first hid himself, and then looked straight ahead.I saw five horses tied to a few trees on the side of the hillside, and a line of footprints in the snow went straight up the hill.Cao Yunqi shouted: "Uncles, the little thief has escaped up the mountain, let's chase after him." Yin Ji has always been cautious and said: "If the other party deliberately lures us to come here, I'm afraid there will be an ambush in the mountains." Cao Yunqi said: "It is the dragon's lake and tiger's lair, so I have to break into him today!" Unhappily, he said to Ruan Shizhong: "Brother Ruan, what are you talking about?" Before Ruan Shizhong could answer, Tian Qingwen rushed to say: "With Master Megatron Nan Yin here, there is really a powerful ambush, so don't be afraid." Yin Ji smiled slightly , said: "Look at them walking in a hurry, it doesn't seem like an ambush. Let's do it," pointing to the right head, and said: "Let's detour up the mountain from this side, turn around and attack them by surprise." Cao Yunqi shouted: "Okay, this time Great idea!" Yin Ji and others got off their horses, tied the horses under the big pine tree, turned up the lower part of their long clothes and tied them around their waists, performed lightness kung fu raising vertical skills, and went up the hill from the right side of the hill.This area is overgrown with trees and rocks, making it difficult to walk, but there is an extra layer of cover, which is not easy for the enemy to detect.At the beginning, the five people walked in a file, one after the other, as time went on, they gradually differentiated their kung fu.Yin Ji and Ruan Shizhong stood shoulder to shoulder, Cao Yunqi was more than ten feet behind, Tian Qingwen and Zhou Yunyang were a few feet behind.Cao Yunqi thought to himself: "Uncle Yin is the head of the Southern Sect, known as Megatron Tiannan, I don't know who is better in his Southern Sect's kung fu than my Northern Sect's kung fu? Today I have to learn and learn." In front of Yin and Ruan. Only Yin Ji praised: "Brother Cao Shi, you are so handsome. You are really a hero when you are young." Cao Yunqi was afraid that he would catch up, so he didn't dare to look back, so he said: "Master Yin, please give me some pointers." After running for a while, he heard the sound of footsteps. Looking back, his heart sank. It turned out that Yin Ji and Ruan Shizhong were not far behind him. Yin Ji smiled slightly, and followed behind unhurriedly.The snow on the mountain is thicker and the road is rough, so walking is hard.After only half a stick of incense, Cao Yunqi gradually slowed down, and suddenly felt a slight warmth in the back of his head, as if someone exhaled, and was about to turn around, when someone patted his right shoulder lightly, Yin Ji smiled and said: "Young man, come on!" Work hard!" Cao Yunqi was startled, and charged forward with all his energy.Although Yin and Ruan were thrown over ten zhang by this charge, they were already restless and their heads were sweating.He stretched out his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, remembering the scene where Tian Qingwen wiped his sweat just now, he couldn't help smiling, but when he heard the sound of snow treading behind him, Yin Ji and the two caught up again. Yin Ji saw Cao Yunqi rushing and slowing so fast, knowing that his lightness kung fu was far inferior to his own, so Ruan Shizhong, the seven-star hand, walked side by side without making a sound. It seemed that he was able to do a job with ease, but he didn't put in all his strength, he said in his heart: "Your master, uncle and nephew are taking the exam today better than the old man." Taking a deep breath, he performed the lightness kung fu that he has practiced hard for decades, and it seems that he is not enough on the snow-white mountain slope. He ran up like a spot. Tianlongmen was founded in the early Qing Dynasty. It was originally one branch. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the two disciples of the headmaster were at odds. When the headmaster died, they were divided into two schools, the north and the south.The southern sect values ​​lightness, nimbleness and fierceness, while the northern sect emphasizes calmness and ruthlessness.The original styles of the two martial arts are exactly the same, but when they are used, they each have their own strengths.This mountain-lighting kung fu was originally mastered by Nanzong, even though the people of Yin Ji were fat, once they performed their own mental skills, they were more nimble than apes, in a short while, they surpassed Cao Yunqi by more than a mile.However, Ruan Shizhong still walked side by side with him.Yin Ji speeded up several times, trying to throw him off, but each time he only managed to get ahead a few feet, and Ruan Shizhong steadily caught up with him. Seeing that it was only two or three miles away from the peak, Yin Ji said with a smile: "Brother Ruan, let's compare our feet to see who will get to the top first." Ruan Shizhong said: "How can I catch up with Brother Yin?" Yin Ji said: "You are welcome! "As soon as the words came out, he rushed up like an arrow leaving the string. In less than a moment, he was only a few feet away from the peak. Looking back, he saw Ruan Shizhong was about ten feet behind him. He raised his breath and was about to rush up. He got up, landed beside him, and said in a low voice: "There is someone over there!" He stretched out his hand and pointed to the bushes on the left side of the peak.Yin Ji felt a chill in his heart: "This man's skill is indeed superior to mine." Seeing him bending down and bowing his head, he walked gently towards the bushes, and followed behind.
The two went behind the tree, hid behind a protruding boulder, looked forward, saw the sword flashing in the valley below, and five people gathered at the bottom of the valley.The three of them held weapons in their hands and guarded the three passages respectively, as if to prevent people from breaking in. The other two wielded steel hoes and shovels, and were digging hard under a big tree.The two seem to know that a strong enemy is following them, the timing is urgent, the four arms do not stop for a moment, rising and falling one after another, extremely busy. Yin Ji said in a low voice: "Sure enough, they are the Tao family and his son in Yinmachuan. Who are those three?" Ruan Shizhong said softly: "The three village owners in Yinmachuan are all tough hands." Yin Ji said: "It's just right, five One against five." Ruan Shizhong said: "Brother Yin, you and Yunqi and I are naturally not afraid, but Yunyang and Qingwen are weak. First kill one or two of them by surprise, and the rest will be easy to deal with." Yin Ji frowned and said: "If Jiang Hu If it is spread on the Internet, saying that I launched a secret sneak attack at Tianlongmen, wouldn't it make the heroes of the world laugh at me?" Ruan Shizhong said coldly: "To avenge Brother Tian, ​​we will kill the grass and root out the roots, and leave no one behind. If we don't tell it ourselves, no one will know." Yin Ji said: "Are Tao and his son really so difficult to deal with?" Ruan Shizhong nodded, and after a while, he said: "In a tie, my younger brother is not sure of winning." Yin Ji knew that Ruan Shizhong was already the number one expert in the sect since Tian Guinong, the head of the Northern School, passed away. He heard that Tian Guinong Zai was also afraid of his three points, just now he went up to the mountain to compete, he seemed to give in, and it became an invincible game. If he tried his best, he was afraid that he would lose, so he nodded and said: "Little brother is a guest, so naturally Ruan Brother presides over the overall situation." Ruan Shi said in the middle: "Huh, you want to be a hero, and I'll be a villain." Then he didn't speak.At this time, Cao Yunqi had already arrived, and after a while, Zhou Yunyang and Tian Qingwen also came up one after another.Ruan Shizhong said in a low voice: "Brother Yin, Yun Qi, and I each made an awl, and the three of us took the lead, and then besieged Tao and his son. Yunyang and Qingwen stepped forward after we made a move." The four of them listened So, he immediately lightened his steps, bent over and slowly hid himself from behind the rocks. Tian Qingwen followed Ruan Shizhong, calling in a low voice: "Uncle Ruan!" Ruan Shizhong stopped and said, "What?" "You still want to protect that little thief Tao Zian?" Tian Qingwen said, "I always think it's not him." Ruan Shizhong's face was livid, he pulled out the feather arrow stuck in his belt, handed it to her, and said softly: "Compare yourself! This is the arrow that the thief shot at the wild goose just now." Tian Qingwen took the feather arrow and only glanced at it, his hands trembling involuntarily.Cao Yunqi was by her side, and he spent more time looking at her than at the enemy. Seeing her expression, he couldn't help being both happy and angry. He was happy because Tao Zian's life was in jeopardy, and he was angry because she treated the little thief so clearly. Very affectionate.He was irritable, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he was, and when he was about to make a sarcasm, Ruan Shizhong patted him on the shoulder and pointed at the back of the man guarding Dongshou. At this time Tian Qingwen and Zhou Yunyang had already crouched down and stopped walking.The three of Ruan, Yin, and Cao each identified an opponent, each with three poison cones hidden in their hands, and approached quietly.The poisonous cone is a unique skill passed down from generation to generation in the Tianlongmen. It was released accurately and quickly, and it was so poisonous that it took three hours to kill it. .” Cao Yunqi thought to himself: "Master Uncle wants me to beat the man in Dongshou, but I will use the poison awl to kill Tao Zian's little thief first. This not only avenges the teacher's family, but also pulls out the thorn in the eye. Otherwise, I will be captured alive later. Without him, the night will be long and full of dreams, I don't know what strange things will happen to my junior sister." The calculation is made, the closer you get, seeing that you are less than fifty steps away from the enemy, you bend down, staring at Tao Zian's heaving back, just waiting for Ruan Shizhong Waving the signal, the three cones shot out immediately. With a bang, the steel pick in Tao Zian's hand hit an iron object in the soil.Ruan Shizhong raised his left hand high, and was about to fall, when he suddenly heard a series of chi chi chi chi, seven or eight hidden weapons suddenly shot out from the snow beside him, and hit Tao Zian and the other five people. These hidden weapons came out of the ground suddenly, without any warning in advance, it was really unimaginable and extremely weird.Tao's father and son's martial arts are very good, although the concealed weapon is thrown close to the body, it comes in a strange way, but they have sharp eyesight and quick hands, and they still use their shovels to knock them down.One of the three people watching the wind fell on his back and rolled into the ravine. Two sleeve arrows grazed his head and neck, narrowly escaping his life.The other two didn't even hum, a steel dart and a throwing knife were hit in the back of the heart, and they threw themselves into the snow without moving. This time it became hasty, Dao and his son Gu Da was unexpected, and Ruan Shizhong was also shocked. Tao Zian's father, Tao Baisui, who is the "Zhenguandong", scolded: "You rat, dare to plot against me!" This sound was like a thunder out of thin air, extremely powerful.I saw the light of the knife flashing in the snow beside me, and four people jumped out from the ground. It turned out that these four people knew that Tao and his son were going to come here, they dug a pit under the snow and waited for several days.The four of them stood guard in the pit, which was covered with branches and covered with snow, only a few small holes were exposed for ventilation, so how would other people know? Tao's father and son threw down the shovel and hurriedly took out the weapon from their sides.Tao Baisui used a sixteen-jin steel whip, while Tao Zian used a single sword.The owner of the horse village who was rolling in the ravine was afraid of the enemy's follow-up, so he rolled several times in the ravine, and then jumped up, holding a pair of chain hammers in his hand. When looking at the enemy, the first person was thin and dark-faced, he recognized Xiong Yuanxian, the head of the Beijing Pingtong Escort Bureau, this person was proficient in knives.Yinmachuan Shanzhai once robbed a big bodyguard from his bodyguard agency, Xiong Yuanxian tried his best to get it back, but the two sides forged a deep relationship.The other woman was thirty-two or thirty-three years old, and the owner of the village knew her as Zheng Sanniang, a pair of sabers.Her husband was originally the head of the Pingtong Escort Bureau, but died of a knife wound while robbing the darts in Yinmachuan.In addition, there is a big fat monk who wields a Jiedao, and a man with a purple face who wields a pair of iron crutches, both of whom are strangers.Presumably, they were all experts invited by the Pingtong Escort Bureau to ambush here to avenge their past revenge. Tao Baisui shouted: "Who am I to say? It turned out to be the defeated general of the old man. Except for the scoundrel named Xiong, there is no one in the martial arts who can do such a despicable deed." Although these words were scolding Xiong Yuanxian, Yin Ji listened , couldn't help but feel hot on his face, when he squinted at Ruan Shizhong, seeing him staring at the opposing sides in the valley, he didn't even hear this sentence. Xiong Yuanxian said in a soft voice: "Master Tao, I will introduce you. This is Master Jingzhi from Baihui Temple in Shandong. This is Master Liu Yuanhe, the first-class guard in Beijing, and my brother from the same sect. How about you?" Get close and close." Tao Baisui was tall and tall, and his voice was thunderous, while Xiong Yuanxian was the opposite of him, one masculine and the other feminine, the two seemed to be natural opponents.Tao Baisui scolded: "Boy, let's go together, let's get close with our weapons." The steel whip made a false strike in the air, and the wind whistled, which showed the amazing physical strength.Xiong Yuanxian remained calm, and said in a low voice: "I am the defeated general under Tao Zhaizhu, I dare not fight with you, I just want to ask for something." Tao Baisui said angrily: "What?" Xiong Yuanxian pointed at the pit dug by them , Said: "That's what's here." Tao Baisui stroked his gray beard all over his cheeks, not to speak, and just hit him with a whip.Xiong Yuanxian dodged it and shouted: "Do it slowly." Tao Baisui shouted: "What else can I say?" Xiong Yuanxian said: "I have been waiting here for three days and three nights, just waiting for the arrival of the village master Tao. If you don't look at it The gold noodles of the two fathers and sons have already taken this thing. The things here are not from Yinmachuan, they have always been managed by Tianlongmen, and there is nothing wrong with changing the owner now." Tao Zian said: "Xiong Biaotou is right. It’s so beautiful. This snow-capped mountain is covered in ice for thousands of miles, if you had known where it was buried earlier, wouldn’t you have taken it long ago?” Zheng Sanniang was determined to avenge her husband's murder, so she shouted: "What are you talking about? Let's do it!" Before finishing speaking, the three flying knives shot at the head of the village one after another.The two hammers of Mazhai's main chain flew up and knocked down two flying knives. Seeing that the third one came even more urgently, it went straight to his chest, stretched his hands, and the iron chain between the two hammers lay across his chest, just in time to block the flying knives , the left hammer retracted, and the right hammer hit the face.Zheng Sanniang's figure was nimble, with a short body and head bowed, she threw herself directly into her arms with a "whirlwind force" move with two knives.The owner of the horse village flew out with his left hammer, canceling this move. As soon as the two men made a move, the monk swung the Jie knife and took Tao Baisui straight.Zhen Guandong did not avoid to fight back, the iron whip hit horizontally, the knife and whip intersected, and sparks burst out.The monk felt his arms were numb, and the blade had already made a gap.Tao Zi'an swung his sword and ran towards Xiong Yuanxian.Divided into three pairs of six people, sumo to their lives in the snow.Liu Yuanhe was holding a pair of crutches in his hands, and he was skimming the formation. Seeing that the monk was not Tao Baisui's opponent, he shouted: "Master, step down and let me come to the Guandong for a meeting." The monk still loved fighting.Liu Yuanhe took a step forward, and bumped Monk Jingzhi's shoulder with his right arm.The monk couldn't stand, fell three steps, and cursed: "Fuck your grandma, you're hitting me!" Suddenly, he felt the golden blade chopping the wind, and the knife struck his forehead. Chopped him.Jing Zhi broke out in a cold sweat, frightened and angry, raised his knife and Xiong Yuanxian to fight Tao Zian. Liu Yuanhe's martial arts were much stronger than his junior brother's. Tao Baisui's iron whip swept across him, but he resisted the fight.Liu Yuanhe remained calm, his right crutch sank slightly, his head locked onto the enemy's whip body, and his left crutch hugged his head to cover him.Once Tao Baisui had gone through several moves with him, knowing that he had encountered a strong opponent, he mustered up his energy and used the Liuhe whip method, fighting with one whip and two crutches, smashing and beating hard. As time went on, Liu Yuanhe gradually gained the upper hand, Tao Baisui already parried more and fought back less.With one against two, Tao Zian became even more tense, thinking that the only hope in front of him was that the master of Mazhai would quickly dispatch an assassin to kill Zheng Sanniang, take Xiong Yuanxian over, and he would be able to kill the monk when he had the chance.But Zheng Sanniang has also seen the general situation of the battle. As long as she supports herself with all her strength, Tao and his son will inevitably die one after another. She can't.After dismantling dozens of moves, Zheng Sanniang is a woman after all, her strength is getting weaker and she can't help avoiding.The owner of the horse village stepped forward to pursue, and suddenly saw Zheng Sanniang swaying his left knife, revealing the empty door of the boss. Overjoyed, he took a step forward and shot down with a hammer. Suddenly, the sole of his right foot was numb, and he stepped on the pit where Xiong Yuanxian and others hid earlier. .Most of the pit is still covered by white snow, during the fierce fight, Zheng Sanniang didn't pay attention, Zheng Sanniang intentionally led him over.He stepped into the air with his foot, and fell forward, screaming that it was not good, but when he was about to jump up, Zheng Sanniang slashed with his right saber, and instantly knocked off his left shoulder. Zhaizhu Ma let out a scream and passed out. Zheng Sanniang cut him to death in the pit with a knife in her right hand.When Tao Zian heard Ma Zhaizhu's call, he knew something was wrong, but because Xiong Yuanxian and Jingzhi were entangled, he couldn't take care of himself and couldn't break up to save others.Zheng Sanniang took a few breaths, straightened her temple hair, took out a white cloth handkerchief and wrapped it around her head, brandishing her two knives, she stepped forward to pinch Tao Baisui.Tao Baisui is known for his powerful moves, but as he gets older, his energy declines. Fighting alone with Liu Yuanhe pales in comparison, and with Zheng Sanniang attacking and harassing him, it is even more dangerous. When the fight was in full swing, Liu Yuanhe yelled: "Let's go!" With a move of "Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dance", both crutches arrived.Tao Baisui swung his whip to block it, but he saw Zheng Sanniang's two swords circling, and the two weapons attacked at the same time.Tao Baisui couldn't open the four weapons with a single whip, shouted loudly, and kicked Zheng Sanniang somersault with his left foot, but Zuo Xi finally cut her with the blade.In a moment, the blood from the wound dyed the snow red.But he was extremely brave, he danced his whip and fought fiercely without showing any timidity. Seeing that the situation was dangerous, Tao Zi'an attacked three times quickly, took advantage of Jingzhi to take two steps back, jumped back, and shouted: "Forget it, my father and son just admit defeat. Do you want treasure or life?" Zheng Sanniang swung the knife at Tao Baisui. Attacking, shouting: "I want treasure, I want life." Xiong Yuanxian had other considerations in his heart. He lost a big dart last year and lost his entire family. He thought that instead of killing his father and son, it is better to ask Yin Machuan to donate money Yin redeemed his life and shouted: "Everyone stay here, I have something to say." Liu Yuanhe is a delicate person, Zheng Sanniang always listened to the orders of the head of the escort, and when he heard what he said, she jumped away.But Jingzhi is a reckless monk, fighting vigorously, he is not willing to give up, a Jiedao looks like a windmill, and goes straight to Tao Zian.Xiong Yuanxian repeatedly called: "Master Jingzhi, Master Jingzhi." Jingzhi seemed to have never heard of it.Tao Zian sneered, threw the sword to the ground, and puffed out his chest, "Do you dare to kill me?" Jingzhi raised Jie Dao, and was about to chop it down violently, suddenly seeing him like this, couldn't help being stunned, holding Jie Dao in the air, froze.Tao Zian scolded: "The thief is bald!" He punched him in the face, hitting the bridge of his nose.Jingzhi was caught by surprise, swayed, fell down and sat down, touched her nose, her hands were covered with nosebleeds.How could he not be angry at this, roaring and screaming, got up, rushed towards Tao Zian, and cursed: "Fuck your grandma!" Xiong Yuanxian stretched out his arms and shouted: "Wait a minute!" Tao Zian jumped into the pit, swung the steel hoe to dig a few times, then threw away the hoe, and jumped up holding a two-foot-long rectangular iron box.Liu Yuanhe and the others all looked happy and took a few steps closer to Tao Zian. Ruan Shizhong said to Yin Ji in a low voice: "Brother Yin, you and Yun Qi are hurting people, I'm going to grab the treasure." Yin Ji whispered: "Which side are you hurting?" Ruan Shizhong curled the middle three fingers of his left hand, stretched out his thumb and Little finger, make a "six" gesture.It means that all six people were injured.Yin Ji thought in his heart: "It's so vicious!" He nodded, clasped the poison cone tightly in his hand, and when he squinted at Cao Yunqi, he saw his eyes fixed on Tao Zian. During these times, his eyes never left this person for a moment. Holding the iron box, Tao Zian said loudly, "Today my father and son fell into a trick. Is this the treasure of the martial arts? Hehe, I should offer it with both hands. It's just that I don't know something. I want to learn." Xiong Yuanxian narrowed his small eyes and said "What orders does the Shaozhai master have?" Tao Zi'an said: "How do you know that this iron box is buried here? And how do you know that we will come to dig it up in the next few days?" Xiong Yuanxian said: "Since the Shaozhai master wants to know, follow me You said it, but it doesn't matter. On the day when the old head of Tianlongmen sealed his sword, there was a big banquet for guests and friends. The master of Shaozhai is the son-in-law of Tianmen, so he must be here?" Tao Zian nodded.Xiong Yuanxian pointed to Liu Yuanhe and said: "My senior brother was also a guest that day, but the village master is a young hero, so he didn't pay attention to senior brother Liu." Here comes the traitor." Xiong Yuanxian was not angry, but still said in a soft voice: "It's serious. Brother Liu has admired his honorable name for a long time, so he couldn't help but look at Shaozhaizhu a few more times. That's why Yinmachuan's reputation spread far and wide. Senior Brother Liu has never lost sight of his every move." Tao Zi'an said: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful! This box should be dedicated to Master Liu." He stretched out his hands and passed the iron box. Liu Yuanhe didn't raise his eyebrows, his flesh didn't move, and he reached out to pick it up.Tao Zian suddenly flipped the side of the iron box, swishing three times, and three short arrows flew out of the iron box, shooting towards Liu Yuanhe's chest.The distance between the two is less than three feet, how can they dodge in a hurry? In a crisis, Liu Yuanhe grabbed Jingzhi and stood in front of him.Hearing a scream, two short arrows pierced into the monk's throat, Jingzhi died instantly.The third arrow was off to the side, but it shot into Xiong Yuanxian's left shoulder until it hit Zhiyu, and the injury was not serious. This turn of events was even more peculiar than the sneak attack by Xiong Yuanxian and others just now.Tian Qingwen couldn't help but yelled "Ah".Liu Yuanhe heard that there was someone behind him, so he didn't care about fighting with Tao and his son, he jumped towards the rocks, protecting his vest first, and then turned around to check. Ruan Shizhong shouted: "Do it!" and threw himself down.Cao Yunqi raised his hand, and shot three poison cones at Tao Zian.Tian Qingwen knew his intentions a long time ago, when he saw him raising his hand, he immediately raised his shoulder and slammed into his left shoulder.Cao Yunqi leaned to one side and shouted angrily: "What are you doing?" The three cones were all head-on, and they all fell into the snow. Yin Ji's poisonous cone was about to be shot at Liu Yuanhe, but Tian Qingwen immediately felt that this person reacted so quickly that there was no chance to take advantage of him.Ruan Shizhong yelled: "Return it to its original owner." The five fingers of his left hand were like hooks, catching Tao Zian's eyes, and the five fingers of his right hand had already grasped the edge of the iron box. Liu Yuanhe's iron crutch stood upright, and he joined hands with Yin Ji's long sword.The two had met each other at Tian Guinong's banquet, and they both knew that the other was a master of martial arts. Now that they had gone through the tricks, each was secretly startled. Zhou Yunyang straightened his sword and ran towards Xiong Yuanxian.Tian Qingwen's single sword fought with Zheng Sanniang's double sword.Cao Yunqi's long sword flashed, instead of fighting Tao Baisui who was idle on the sidelines, he stabbed at Tao Zian's chest, with a move of "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun", following the sword to his body, as if desperate.Tao Zian didn't hold a weapon, so he had no choice but to let go of the iron box, leap back to avoid it, leaned over to grab the single sword, and turned around to snatch it.Ruan Shizhong hugged the box with his left hand, cursing with a gloomy face: "My boy, you killed Yue Zhang with an arrow in the back, so you took a fancy to my Tianlongmen treasure." Tao Zian shouted: "Who said I killed my father-in-law?" , anxious to get back the iron box. But as soon as the iron box came into the hands of Ruan Shizhong, the seven-star hand, let alone Cao Yunqi was helping with his sword, Tao Zian would never want to take it back just with Ruan Shizhong's fleshy palms.Tao Baisui shouted: "My surname is Ruan, this iron box was handed over to my son by Tian's family, are you not convinced, or what?" Shouting loudly, he swung his whip and shot it down on Ruan Shizhong's head.Ruan Shizhong jumped more than ten feet, went to Tian Qingwen's side, raised the box and threw it at Zheng Sanniang.Zheng Sanniang saw the hidden weapon released from the box just now, she was afraid that another short arrow would be shot, so she hurriedly ducked down to dodge.Unexpectedly, Ruan Shizhong was only bluffing, and when Tian Qingwen got rid of the entanglement, he handed the iron box into her hand and said, "Protect the box and let me deal with the enemy." With nothing in his hand, he immediately turned around to fight Tao Baisui.这天龙北宗第一高手果然武功了得，陶百岁虽鞭沉力猛，却给他一双空手迫得连连倒退。熊元献肩头中箭，为周云阳一柄长剑迫住了，始终缓不出手来去拔箭，那箭留在肉里，一使劲半边身子剧痛难当。只刘元鹤与殷吉斗了个旗鼓相当。 田青文抱住铁盒，施开轻功，疾向西北方奔去。陶子安举刀向曹云奇猛劈，见他提剑封门，这一刀竟不劈下，忽地转身，向田青文追去。曹云奇大怒，随后急赶，只追出数步，斜刺里双刀砍到，却是郑三娘从旁截住。曹云奇心中焦躁，连进险招。郑三娘武艺虽不甚精，却练就一套专门守御的刀法，只要这“铁门闩”刀法使开了，六六三十六招之内，对方功夫再高，也不易取胜。曹云奇连变三路剑法，一时竟奈何她不得。 田青文奔出里许，见陶子安随后跟来，正合心意，转过个山坡，站定身子，似嗔似笑地道：“你追我干吗？”陶子安道：“妹子，咱们合力对付了那几个奸贼，自己的事总好商量。”田青文道：“谁是你妹子？你干吗害我爹爹？”陶子安突然在雪地里双膝跪倒，指天立誓，大声道：“皇天在上，倘若我陶子安害了天龙门田老掌门，叫我日后万箭攒身，乱刀分尸！” 田青文脸上露出笑容，伸手拉着他臂膀，柔声道：“不是你就好啦。我也早知不是你，他们……他们……”陶子安跃起身来，握住她左手，说道：“妹子……”刚叫得一声，忽见田青文脸上变色，知道背后来了人，急忙转身，只听一人喝道：“你们两个在这里鬼鬼祟祟的干什么？”田青文怒道：“什么鬼鬼祟祟？你给我嘴里放干净些。” 陶子安见是曹云奇赶到，叫道：“曹师兄，你莫误会。”曹云奇圆睁双目，喝道：“操你娘，误会你妈个屁！”提剑分心疾刺，陶子安举刀招架。 两人斗了数合，雪地里脚步声响，郑三娘如风奔来。曹云奇骂道：“臭婆娘，缠个没完没了。”反手一剑。郑三娘左刀挡架，右手回了一刀。陶子安叫道：“郑三娘，咱俩并肩子上，先杀了这蛮汉再说。” 他一语甫毕，一招“抽梁换柱”，左手虚托，刀锋从横里向曹云奇反劈过去。曹云奇以一敌二，丝毫不惧。他有意要在心上人之前卖弄本事，剑走偏锋，反连连进招。陶子安赞道：“好剑法！”曲腿矮身，一招“上步撩阴”向他胯下挥去。郑三娘料想他竖剑相架，上盘势必空虚，当即双刀向曹云奇肩头砍落。不料陶子安这一刀挥到中途，突然转为“退步斩马刀”，手腕疾翻，一刀砍在郑三娘腿上，喝道：“躺下。” 这一招毒辣异常，比郑三娘再强数倍的高手也难防备，叫她如何闪避得了？她腿上剧痛，向后便跌。陶子安抢上一步，举刀往她颈中砍下。呼的一声，曹云奇长剑递出，将他单刀架开，叫道：“你要不要脸？”陶子安笑道：“我是有心助你。” 曹云奇正要喝骂，刘元鹤、殷吉、陶百岁、阮士中等已先后赶到。他们都挂念着铁盒，见田青文抱着盒子奔开，不愿无谓恋战，一待敌人攻势略缓，都抽身追来。陶子安叫道：“爹，天龙门是好朋友。你别跟阮师叔动手。” 陶百岁尚未答话，曹云奇高声叫道：“你害死我恩师，谁跟你是好朋友？”刷刷刷，向他疾刺三剑。陶子安挡开两剑，第三剑险些避不开去，向左急闪，剑刃贴右颊而过。他吓得脸无血色，忽听田青文叫声：“小心！”一枚暗器从身旁飞过，紧接着风声微响，后臀上吃了一刀。 原来郑三娘受伤后倒地不起，心中又恨又悔：“他饮马川是我杀夫大仇，这小贼素来诡计多端，我怎能信他的话，不加提防？”见陶子安避剑后退，正是偷袭良机，奋身跃起，挥刀往他头顶砍去。田青文眼明手快，急发一锥，抢先钉中她右肩。幸得这一锥，才救了陶子安性命，郑三娘那刀砍得低了，只砍中他后臀。 郑三娘身中毒锥，又向后跌。陶子安骂声：“贱人！”单刀脱手，对准她胸口猛掷下去，这一掷势劲力疾，相距又近，眼见得一刀要将她钉入地下，突然空中嗤的一声急响，一枚暗器从远处飞来。正中刀身，当的一声，单刀荡开，斜斜插入郑三娘身旁雪地之中。
刘元鹤、阮士中等均正注目铁盒，或亟欲劫夺或旨在守护，忽听这暗器破空之声响得怪异，都是一惊，这暗器远飞而至，落点既准，劲力又重，竟将单刀打开。各人一惊之下，齐向暗器来路望去，见一个花白胡子的老僧右手拿着一串念珠，念道：“善哉，善哉！”快步走来，俯身拾起一物，串在念珠绳上，原来他适才所发暗器只是一粒念珠。 这串念珠看来分量不轻，黑黝黝的似是铁铸，但这和尚从数丈外弹来小小一粒念珠，竟能撞开一把八九斤重的钢刀，指力非同小可。众人惊愕之下，都眼睁睁地望着他。但见他一对三角眼，塌鼻歪嘴，一双白眉斜斜下垂，容貌猥葸诡异，双眼布满红丝，单看相貌，倒似个市井老光棍，哪知武功竟如此高强。 那僧人伸手扶起郑三娘，拔下她肩头毒锥，见伤口中喷出黑血，郑三娘大声呻吟。那僧人从怀中取出一粒红色药丸，塞在她口里，向众人逐个望去，自言自语地道：“这药丸只可暂时止痛。毒龙锥是天龙门独门暗器，和尚可救她不得。”他眼光停在阮士中脸上，说道：“这位施主是天龙门高手了？不看僧面看佛面，敢请慈悲则个。”说着合十行礼。 阮士中和郑三娘本不相识，原无仇怨，见那僧人如此本领，若不允取出解药，今日决讨不了好去，他久历江湖，当硬则硬，当软则软，见那僧人合十躬身，立即还礼，道：“大师吩咐，自当遵命。”从怀中取出两个小瓶，在一个瓶里倒出十粒黑色小丸，给郑三娘服了，将另一个瓶子递给田青文道：“给她敷上。”田青文接过药瓶，将铁盒交给师叔，自去给郑三娘敷药。 那僧人道：“施主慈悲。”又打了一躬，说道：“请问各位在此互斗，为了何事？天下没解不开的梁子，和尚老了脸皮，倒想做个调人，嘿嘿。” 众人相互望了一眼，有的沉吟不语，有的脸现怒容。曹云奇指着陶子安骂道：“这小贼害死我师父，偷了我天龙门的镇门之宝。大师，你说该不该找他偿命？”说着手中长剑虚劈，剑刃震动，嗡嗡做声。 那老僧问道：“尊师是哪一位？”曹云奇道：“先师是敝门北宗掌门，姓田。”那老僧“啊哟”一声，说道：“原来归农去世了，可惜啊可惜。”语气之中，似乎识得田归农，而口称“归农”，竟然自居尊长。田青文刚给郑三娘敷完药，听那老僧如此说，上前盈盈拜倒，哭道：“求大师给先父报仇，找到真凶。” 那老僧尚未回答，曹云奇已叫了起来：“什么真凶假凶？这里有赃有证，这小贼难道还不是真凶？”陶子安只管冷笑，并不答话。陶百岁却忍不住了，喝道：“田亲家跟我数十年交情，两家又是至亲，我们怎能害他？”曹云奇道：“就是为了盗宝啊！”陶百岁大怒，纵上前去挥鞭击落。曹云奇正要还手，突见那老僧左手挥出，在陶百岁右腕上轻轻一勾，钢鞭猛然反激。陶百岁只觉手掌心一震，虎口剧痛，竟拿捏不住，忙撒手跃开，啪的一声，钢鞭跌在雪地，埋入了半截。 众人本来围在僧人身周，突见钢鞭飞起跌落，各自后跃，登时在那僧人身旁留出好大一个圆圈，各人眼睁睁地瞧着这和尚，都好生诧异，暗想：“镇关东素以膂力刚猛称雄武林，怎么给他这般轻描淡写的一勾一带，竟连兵刃也拿不住了？” 陶百岁满脸通红，叫道：“好和尚，原来你是天龙门邀来的帮手。”那老僧微微一笑，道：“施主恁大年纪，仍这等火气。不错，和尚确是受人之邀，才到长白山来。不过邀请和尚的，却不是天龙门。”天龙门诸人与陶氏父子俱吃一惊，心道：“怪不得他相救郑三娘。他既是平通镖局的帮手，这铁盒儿可就难保了。”阮士中退后一步。殷吉与曹云奇双剑上前，护在他左右两侧。 那僧人宛如未见，续道：“此间一无柴火，二无酒饭，他妈的寒气好生难熬。那主人的庄子离此不远，各位都算是和尚的朋友，不如同去歇脚。那主人见到众位英雄好汉降临，一定开心，他奶奶的，大家同去扰他一顿！”说罢呵呵而笑，对众人适才的浴血恶斗，似乎全不放在心上。 众人见他面目虽然丑陋，说话倒也和气，出家人口出“他奶奶的”四字，未免有点突兀，但这些豪客听在耳里，反感亲切自在，提防之心消了大半。 殷吉道：“不知大师所说的主人，是哪一位前辈？”那老僧道：“这主人不许和尚说他名字。和尚生来好客，既出口邀请，若有哪一位不给面子，和尚可要大感脸上无光了。”刘元鹤见这老僧处处透着古怪，心中嘀咕，微一拱手，说道：“大师莫怪，下官失陪了。”说罢返身便奔。 那老僧笑道：“在这荒山野地之中，居然还能见到一位官老爷，好福气啊，他妈的好福气。”他待刘元鹤奔出一阵，缓缓说完这几句话，陡然间身形晃动，随后追去。只见他在雪地里纵跳疾奔，身法极其难看，又笨又怪，令人不由得好笑。 但尽管他身形既似肥鸭，又若蛤蟆，片刻间已抄在刘元鹤身前，笑道：“和尚要对不住官老爷了。”不待刘元鹤答话，左手兜了个圈子，忽然翻过，抓住了他右腕。刘元鹤陡感半身酸麻，知道自己糊里糊涂的已让他扣住脉门，情急之下，左手出掌往老僧击去。那老僧左手拇指与食指拿着他右腕，见他左掌击来，左手提着他右臂一举，中指、无名指、小指三根手指勾出，搭上了他左腕。这一来，他一只手将刘元鹤双手一齐抓住，右手提着念珠，一蹿一跳地回来。 众人见刘元鹤双手就如给一副铁铐牢牢铐着，身不由主地给那老僧拖回，都又惊又喜，惊的是这老僧功夫之高，甚为罕见，喜的是他并非平通镖局所邀帮手。The old monk pulled Liu Yuanhe to the front of the crowd, and said: "Master Liu has promised to reward you, everyone please." With Liu Yuanhe's example in front, even if some people have doubts and fears, they dare not speak out and refuse, just to make fun of themselves.那老僧握着刘元鹤的手腕，缓缓向前，走出数步，忽然转身道：“什么声音？”众人当即停步，听得来路上隐隐传来一阵气喘吆喝之声，似有人在奋力搏击。阮士中陡然醒悟，叫道：“云奇，快去帮一帮云阳。”曹云奇叫道：“啊哟，我竟忘了。”挺剑向来路奔回。 The old monk still didn't let go of Liu Yuanhe, he dragged him and drove him away, only more than ten feet away, Liu Yuanhe's effort was dwarfed by comparison.他虽提气狂奔，仍不及那老僧快捷，只双手遭握，虽出力挣扎，老僧五根又瘦又长的手指竟没放松半点。再奔数步，那老僧又抢前半尺，这一来，刘元鹤立足不稳，身子向前俯跌，双臂夹在耳旁举过头顶，给那老僧在雪地里拖曳而行。他又气又急，只想飞脚向那老僧踢去，但老僧越拖越快，自己站立尚且不能，怎说得上发足踢人？ 倏忽之间，众人已回到坑边，只见周云阳与熊元献互相揪扭，在雪地里滚动。两人兵刃均已脱手，贴身肉搏，连拳脚也使用不上，肘撞膝蹬、头顶口咬，直如市井无赖当街厮打一般。曹云奇仗剑上前，要待往熊元献身上刺落，但两人翻滚缠打，只怕误伤了师弟，急切间下手不得。 那老僧走上几步，右手抓住周云阳背心提起。周熊两人扭斗正紧，手脚相互勾缠，提起一人，将另一人也带了上来。两人打得兴发，虽身子临空，仍殴击不休。那老僧哈哈大笑，右手一振，两人手足齐麻，砰的一响，熊元献摔出了五尺之外。那老僧放落周云阳，松了刘元鹤的手腕。刘元鹤给他抓得久了，手臂一时之间竟难弯曲，仍高举过头，过了一会才慢慢放下，见双腕上指印深入肉里，不禁骇然。 那老僧道：“他奶奶的，大伙儿快走，还来得及去扰主人一顿狗日的早饭。”众人相互瞧了一眼，一齐跟在他身后，郑三娘腿上伤重，熊元献顾不得男女之嫌，将她负起。陶氏父子、周云阳等均各负伤。但见雪地里一道殷红血迹，引向北去。 行出数里，伤者哼哼唧唧，都有些难以支持。田青文从背囊中取出一件替换的布衫，撕碎了先给周云阳裹伤，又给陶氏父子包扎。曹云奇哼了一声，待要发话，田青文横目使个眼色，曹云奇虽不明其意，终于忍住了口边言语。 又行里许，转过一个山坡，地下白雪更深，直没至膝，行走好生为难，众人虽都有武功，亦感不易拔足，各自心想：“不知那主人之家还有多远？”那老僧似知各人心意，指着左侧一座笔立的山峰道：“不远了，就在那上面。”
