Chapter 5 Chapter 4: The Beautiful Boy with the Golden Snake and the Sword

Yuan Chengzhi accidentally discovered the iron box when he was fourteen years old, and he has completely forgotten about it over the years.Seeing the expressions of Chun Jiu and Bald Zi, there must be a major secret hidden in the "Golden Snake Secret Book", otherwise they would not have been looking for it for eighteen years, and after finding it, they would fight for their lives like this. "What is written in the secret book?" I couldn't restrain myself anymore, so I found the small iron box covered with dust and spider knots in the corner under the bed.The box was much smaller, so Zhang Chunjiu and Bald Tou didn't notice it for a while.When the two saw the fake secret book in the big iron box, they were ecstatic and never looked for anything else.

Yuan Chengzhi opened the iron box, took out the real "Golden Snake Secret Book" and put it on the table, opened it to read.The book is relatively small, with many pages and a thick book. In front of it are some secret exercises and methods of launching hidden weapons, which are similar to those taught by his master and Taoist Mu Sang.In addition, it also details the secrets of martial arts of various schools and schools, as well as various methods of deciphering them.From a rough look, what is contained in the secret book is quite inferior to what I have learned, but the methods are far more sinister and vicious.I thought to myself, this time I almost fell for the enemy's despicable tricks, and in the future when I walk in the rivers and lakes, I will never meet insidious opponents again. Although I don't bother to use these people's tactics, I know myself and the enemy. The mind method described in the secret book has been carefully studied.

As I read along the way, I couldn't help but sweat dripping down my forehead. It's really unimaginable that there are all kinds of poisonous methods that harm people in the world.In comparison, Zhang Chunjiu and the bald man were insignificant with the use of boring medicine. On the third day of reading, I saw that the martial arts contained in the secret book were completely different from what I had learned in the past, not only had nothing in common with the Huashan School martial arts, but also had never been mentioned by Master or Taoist Mu Sang.It's not just that there is a different way, it's really whimsical, and often runs counter to the gist of martial arts, but it also has its own magic to defeat the enemy.He is master of one skill and one hundred skills, he already has quite deep attainments in martial arts, and he can learn other sects as soon as he can.The strange ideas and tricks of martial arts contained in the secret book came one after another, after learning it once, I could no longer rest on my own, so I followed the secret book to learn all the way.

Since he has a profound foundation in Hunyuan Kung Fu, it is easy for him to learn any Kung Fu, but after practicing for more than 20 days, he encountered difficulties.There are key points in the secret book, which are recorded in detail, but the basic postures have no graphics, and the secrets are very simple. If you don't know the moves, you have to skip them and not practice them. The next ten or so pages of effort were spent dealing with a formation called the "Five Elements Formation", requiring him to be familiar with the eight trigrams and all kinds of changes.This formation is changeable, and the five opponents who make up the formation come and go, complementing each other and helping each other. Mr. Jin Snake used a very ingenious method to destroy one of them in one fell swoop, which included many superb martial arts.Yuan Chengzhi thought to himself that this "five-element formation" might not be encountered in the future, but all kinds of formation-breaking kung fu are very versatile, and it is very useful to learn, so it took a few days of hard work to learn one by one.Most of the other martial arts recorded in the secret book are calm and calm, and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. However, the more than ten pages of the "Five Elements Formation" are described in a rather resentful tone. Zhao Jun wants to kill the enemy and then quickly.While practicing, Cheng Zhi shook his head secretly: "Why do you need to be so angry, just break the formation." It seems that this set of martial arts is based on intentions, and the opponent is real, not based on empty words.Cheng Zhi learned his moves, but he didn't remember his insidious meaning, he thought: "Master often taught me that since my martial arts are strong, I must always have the idea of ​​'letting room for my subordinates'."

Turning to the next set is a set of "Golden Snake Sword Technique", thinking: "This sword technique is named after 'Golden Snake', Mr. Golden Snake must attach great importance to it, and it must be unique." After practicing according to the style, I didn't feel much at first. , until later the turning and ups and downs, between stabbing and slashing, it was very unsmooth, and some moves were absolutely useless, even after trying several times, it always felt wrong.It suddenly occurred to me that there were many figures on the wall of the cave where Mr. Golden Snake was buried. Could it be related to this?

Thinking of this, I couldn't bear it any longer, recruited the mute, took a rope torch, and went to the cave again.At that time, he was already tall, but fortunately he had dismantled the entrance of the cave, so he got into the cave, held up a torch and shone it on the wall, and after careful consideration of the figure, it turned out that it was the illustration of the key points in the secret book.Although the stone on the mountain wall is very soft, the graphics are scribbled and the strokes penetrate the stone very shallowly. It seems that Mr. Jin Snake has no strength when he draws.He was overjoyed, practiced according to the picture, and memorized it secretly. It took him a few hours to memorize all the figures, and he paid two more obeisances in front of the tomb of Lord Jin Snake, thanking him for teaching martial arts in his suicide note.

Just as he was about to walk out, he caught a glimpse of the sword hilt on the cave wall.Back then when he was young, he didn't dare to pull it out, now he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, with a "chi" sound, he pulled it out, there was indeed a sword under the hilt.There used to be a deep seam on the stone wall where the sword edge was inserted, otherwise Mr. Jin Snake might not be able to insert the sword into the stone wall if he did not have much strength when inserting the sword. All of a sudden, the whole body is chilly and only feels the chill.I saw that the sword body was golden in color, and its shape was very strange. It was vaguely similar to the golden snake cone seen before. The whole sword was like a golden snake winding and twisting. There are two forks on the tip of the sword.The sword was golden, and it was quite heavy in the hand. It seemed to be made of gold mixed with other metals. There was a bloodstain on the sword, and it gave off a dark green light, which was very strange.

After watching it for a long time, fear arose in my heart, thinking about this green bloodstain, who's blood was it?Is it a benevolent and righteous man, or a treacherous and evil man?Or is it condensed by the neck blood of thousands of people? With a slight movement of the sword, he immediately understood the strangeness of the "Golden Snake Sword Technique".It turns out that the two forks at the tip of the sword can not only stab, but also hook the enemy's weapon, drag it backwards and stab at an angle, and both can injure the enemy. Compared with ordinary long swords, it has many uses.Previously, I thought many of the moves in the "Golden Snake Sword Technique" were useless, but when used on this special Golden Snake Sword, they became powerful moves.

When he danced to the point of intoxication, he unintentionally slashed the sword towards the wall of the cave, and a piece of rock fell like cutting mud. The sword was unexpectedly sharp.He was surprised and delighted, and thought again: "Jin Snake Lord didn't leave a message to give me this sword. When I saw this sword, I wanted to take it for myself. It's greedy. Let it stay here with the old master." The sword came and plunged into the stone wall.This thrust didn't go all out, and it didn't go along the crack of the stone, the sword body was exposed outside the stone, but it didn't reach the hilt.The blade of the sword shook slightly, and the green bloodstains on the sword reflected the light of the fire, like a living snake twisting its body, desperately trying to get into the stone wall.

Looking at the sixteen words on the stone wall that read "Secret techniques of great treasures, given by fate, come into my door, no complaints in case of disaster", I couldn't help but be dazed, thinking that this senior Golden Snake doesn't know what he looks like?I don't know how many shocking miracles I have done in my life?In the end, why did he die in this cave? After seeing the Golden Snake Sword, he yearned for the martial arts contained in the "Golden Snake Secret Book" even more, and unconsciously, he felt a little closer to this strange hero in his heart.After getting out of the cave, it took more than 20 days of hard work to learn all the martial arts recorded in the secret book. Among them, the technique of sending out the golden snake cone is particularly wonderful, which can be said to have its own advantages and disadvantages from Taoist Mu Sang's hidden weapon mentality.

When I read the last three pages, I saw that the formulas were densely written. Referring to the previous records, some changes were subtle and profound, which greatly enhanced my enlightenment, but more than half of them were completely incomprehensible.I immersed myself in reading these three pages of formulas, and after thinking hard for two days, I always felt that there were many contradictions in them, and there must be another key point.But after reading a secret book over and over again, all the formulas and methods have been thoroughly read and understood, and there are no omissions.He re-entered the cave and looked closely at the graphics on the wall, but he still couldn't figure it out. After reading on, I saw that the names of many moves are very strange, such as "Last year when I was farewell to the king", "Holding tears and pretending to lower my face", "Half eyebrows with shame", "Soft intestines and knots", "A thousand lines of pink tears", " Half-ashamed and half-happy", "Wanting to leave but clinging", "Tears are hard to send", "Old joy is like a dream", "Persuade me to go home early", "Lonely goose is desolate", "Life and death together", "Wang Lang "When will you come" and so on, are all words of love between men and women, like a girl who is sad and wants her husband to leave, thinking hard and remembering bitterly.Yuan Chengzhi didn't know the feelings of his children at the time, and he hadn't read many poems. He only felt that the names of these moves were lingering and boring. He tried to use fists, feet and swordsmanship. This move is rare, but it seems to be a game, rather than a life-and-death move, and it is not very useful when facing the enemy. After seeing a trick of "false intentions and true feelings", see how this trick seems real and illusion in ink in the secret book, saying: "There are many false intentions in the world but rare true feelings. All kinds of temptations are to find out the other party's true intentions, but the true intentions are different. It's not easy to know, that's why I'm melancholy for a long night and I feel so tender." This trick contains countless false tricks, and finally said: "Don't tell me if there is any real love, even if I ask myself where this trick will end up, I still don't know. . ” The last blow seemed to be false and real, and his mind was uncertain.Cheng Zhi thought to himself: "Master often warns that when practicing martial arts, one must be careful not to become obsessed. Once obsessed, the mind will be chaotic and difficult to deal with. Thinking of this, Mr. Jin Snake has almost become obsessed. I can't follow suit." He suddenly felt that this move was false and real, it was changeable and extremely ingenious, the mover himself didn't know where the move was going, and the opponent naturally didn't know, because he didn't know where it came from and where it was going, so it was difficult to dodge and break the pattern.This can be said to be a martial arts move that cannot be resisted at all.The world's martial arts moves, no matter how ingenious and ingenious they are, they can be dismantled and dealt with, if you come to the left, you block with the right, and if you attack before, you retreat, but this move doesn't know where to hit, any block may be wrong, so you can't parry it. That night, because he couldn't figure out the reason, he tossed and turned on the bed, and couldn't sleep well.I saw a bright moon shooting into the room outside the window, shining silver light all over the ground, and suddenly thought: "I have already practiced Hunyuan Kungfu, but for this "Golden Snake Secret Book", I spent two more months on the mountain, Master He once said that Mr. Jin Snake is a eccentric person, and his book view is useless. A move, even if you don’t know where to hit it, and your mind is uncertain, what kind of martial arts move is that? But this move’s meaning is false and true, and it’s really ingenious to." Now that his martial arts cultivation has reached such a level, it is really impossible for him to see the profound secrets of martial arts without exploring to the end. He thought to himself: "If you can't see it, it's clear, I'll just burn it down." The decision was made, Get off the kang to light the oil lamp, pick up the secret book and burn it on the lamp.But after burning for a long time, the cover of the book was only blackened, and it couldn't catch fire. Surprisingly, he pulled it hard, but the book didn't move at all.At this time, he has completed Hunyuan Kungfu, his hands have extremely strong inner strength, this pulling force is no small matter, even the iron piece has to be stretched, unexpectedly the book is not damaged, it must be strange.After careful inspection, it turns out that the cover is woven with black gold silk and some thin threads, and it has two layers. He cut the staple thread with a knife, removed the cover, and burned the secret book on the fire. The fire was blazing, and Mr. Golden Snake Langjun's life's unique knowledge was burned to ashes.Look at the cover of the book again, there seems to be something else in the interlayer, carefully pick apart the gold thread connecting the two layers, and sure enough there are two paper notes hidden in the middle. On a piece of paper was written the words "Picture of Heavy Treasure", and beside it was a map with many marks.There are two lines of words written on the back of the picture: "The person who gets the treasure is really my confidant. Please go to Jingyan, Quzhou, Zhejiang, to find the woman Wenyi, and give him one hundred thousand taels of gold as a gift." I thought: "This is very loud. !" At the end of the note, there were two lines of small characters: "At this time, the treasures of the world are gathered together, how can it be easy to get together for half a day? We value treasures and despise parting. You are extremely stupid, regretful, and hate!" Under the small characters, spotted A little bit, stained with a lot of tears.After contemplating for a while, I don't know what it means. What is written on another piece of paper is densely packed with martial arts secrets, and when I refer to the incomprehensible points in the secret book, I suddenly understand it, and it really has infinite uses. He looked at the bright moon in the sky, and all the secrets of martial arts in "Golden Snake Secrets" were like a clear stream, flowing slowly in his heart, clearly visible to the bottom, and there was no half of the dross. He didn't wake up until the red sun filled the window.It's just that these martial arts seem to be too complicated, with too many tricks, presumably it's the nature of Mr. Golden Snake, who likes to make twists and turns in simple places, making people dazzled.The words on these two pieces of paper were written in ink and pen when I was not trapped in a cave.However, after mastering the general formula of his martial arts, he can also understand the reason behind the various strange moves drawn in charcoal. After this night of hard thinking, not only did he understand the legacy of Mr. Jin Snake, but he also gained a deeper understanding of the various superior martial arts taught by his master and Taoist Mu Sang. He stared at the two pages of white paper and the pile of ashes, dazed.Secretly lamenting that Mr. Jin Snake is scheming, he deliberately left some puzzles in the secret book, inducing the person who got the secret book to explore deliberately, and finally found the treasure map.If the secret book falls into the hands of mediocrity, if you don't delve into the subtleties of martial arts, then most likely you won't find the map.He still sandwiched the two pieces of paper between the two covers, and went to the cave to take out the Golden Snake Sword. After practicing the sword technique, he put the Golden Snake Sword back in its place. Two days later, Yuan Chengzhi packed his bags and bid farewell to the mute.He lived on the mountain for many years, and he left suddenly, feeling very sad.Dawei and Xiaoguai were quite psychic, they grabbed his clothes and squeaked, not letting him go.Yuan Chengzhi is even more inseparable.The mute took two giant apes straight to the foot of the mountain, and then left with tears.
Yuan Chengzhi descended from the mountain, and what he heard and saw was novel.Along the way, I saw that the clothes of the people were all ragged, and their faces were yellow and emaciated from hunger.After traveling for more than a hundred miles, I saw dozens of people digging roots in the mountains to eat.He has the silver taels left by his master by his side, but he has nowhere to buy food, so he has to use martial arts to catch birds and beasts for food.After traveling for dozens of miles, I felt very sad to see the dead hungry people on the way. After traveling for a few days, he was about to reach Shanxi. He saw hungry people cooking and eating dead bodies. One day, when I came to a town, I saw a large gathering of hungry people, singing in unison, and they sang: Eat his mother, wear his mother, and open the door to welcome King Chuang.King Chuang didn't pay for food when he came. Seeking promotion in the morning, seeking harmony in the evening, it is difficult for the poor to survive these days.Open the door early to pay homage to King Chuang, and discipline everyone to be happy. An officer led more than ten soldiers and shouted loudly: "Aren't you afraid of beheading for singing such rebellious monster songs?" He waved his whip and beat all the people. The hungry people shouted: "If King Chuang doesn't come, everyone will starve to death. We are just about to rebel!" They rushed up, grabbed the officers and soldiers, beat and bit them, and killed more than a dozen officers and soldiers at once. Seeing such a scene, Yuan Chengzhi thought to himself: "It's no wonder that King Chuang is gaining momentum. The people are hungry and have no choice but to kill officials and rebel." He asked a hungry person: "Brother, do you know where King Chuang is? I want to go to the same place." The hungry man said: "I heard that King Chuang's army is currently in Xiangling and Wenxi, and they are coming here. All of us are going to join the army." Yuan Chengzhi asked again: "I heard everyone singing just now. The song is very good, is there any more?" The hungry man said: "There are many more. They are all made by Mr. Li, who is under King Chuang." A few more songs were sung, and the meaning of the song was to persuade people to kill officials and rebel, to welcome King Chuang . Yuan Chengzhi inquired along the way, and met a small army of Chuangjun on the bank of the Yellow River.The leader of the army heard that he was looking for King Chuang, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly sent someone to accompany him to Li Zicheng's army. King Chuang heard that it was the disciple of Mu Renqing, the Immortal Sword Immortal who had arrived, and even though the military affairs were hectic, he still received him in person.Yuan Chengzhi admired him very much when he saw his mighty demeanor and kind expression.King Chuang said that his master went to the south of the Yangtze River, probably because Mu Renqing praised the young apprentice in his words, so King Chuang attached great importance to him, and his words were quite attractive. When Yuan Chengzhi heard that his master was not there, he was suddenly unhappy. When he asked about Cui Qiushan, he went to Jiangnan, Suzhou and Hangzhou with Mu Renqing to raise military pay.Yuan Chengzhi said that he was going to find a teacher, and after reporting to the master, he would come to work again.King Chuang was not reluctant, and ordered General Li Yan to receive him, and gave him a hundred taels of silver as travel expenses.Yuan Chengzhi thank you very much. Although Li Yan was the general who led the troops in the Chuang army, he was dressed in scholarly clothes and spoke elegantly.It turned out that he was the son of Li Jingbai, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He was originally a juren, but because of helping the victims, he offended the county magistrate and the rich family, and was falsely imprisoned.A female hero admired him as a human being, and led the victims to break through the prison and rescued him.That female hero likes to wear red clothes, and everyone calls her Hong Niangzi.Li Yan was really forced to be here, and he had to rebel, so he married Hong Niangzi, joined the army of Chuang Wang, offered to equalize the land, exempt taxes, and treat the people kindly.Chuang Wang's words were obeyed, and they were extremely useful.Chuangjun was originally gathered by hungry people, rebels and unemployed postmen. The rebellion was just for food, and they had no ambitions. Wherever they went, looting was inevitable.Because people's hearts are not attached, things flow and go, sometimes they win and sometimes they lose, it's hard to make a fortune.Proud of Li Yan's attachment, Li Zicheng rectified military discipline, strictly prohibited indiscriminate killing and adultery, and his army was greatly boosted. Li Yan ruled the army strictly, and composed many songs, which were taught to children to sing and circulated everywhere.The people were starving and couldn't eat, and the government came to torture and force food and pay. It was heard that "the king of Chuang didn't pay food when he came", and everyone supported him.Therefore, before the Chuang army arrived, some cities were destroyed without attack. Li Yan has always admired Yuan Chonghuan, and when he heard that Yuan Dushi's young master had arrived, he treated each other with courtesy, entered the camp, and invited his wife, Hong Niangzi, to see him.The red lady is heroic and hearty, bold and unyielding.The three talked speculatively.Apart from martial arts, Yuan Chengzhi has very little knowledge.Li Yan is familiar with ancient and modern historical events and the principles of the rise and fall of the world. He talked to him about the general trend of the world.The two were congenial, so they worshiped each other eight times and became righteous brothers.Yuan Chengzhi stayed in Li Yan's camp for three days, until the Chuangjun was about to leave the camp and go north, and then he said goodbye. Yuan Chengzhi was a fledgling, and he secretly imitated Li Yan's demeanor, so he went to buy a scholar's towel, and learned to dress up as a scholar.He didn't know where his master was in the south of the Yangtze River, so he could only go southward and make peace with whatever happened. The Jiangnan area is rich and prosperous. Although the officials are generally corrupt and abuse the people, the common people still have enough food and clothing.Compared with the plight of the hungry people in the Qin and Jin Dynasties, it is like being in heaven. Today I came to Yushan in the east of Jiangxi. After eating, I went to the pier to take a boat eastward.Seeing a large ship parked by the river, upon questioning, he said that a wealthy businessman from Shangrao had contracted it to Jinhua, Zhejiang to buy and sell goods, so Yuan Chengzhi asked for it.The boss of the boat is greedy to get more money for the boat, so he discusses with the rich merchant Long Delin who chartered the boat.Long Delin saw that he was a Confucian scholar, so he agreed. The captain of the boat was about to pull up the pole and set sail, when suddenly a young man rushed to the pier and shouted: "Boss of the boat, I have an urgent matter to go to Quzhou, please make it easy for me to take one more." Yuan Chengzhi heard this man's clear and sweet voice, and when he looked up, he couldn't help being stunned, and saw that it was a handsome young man with a handsome face.This man was eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a stone blue satin shirt, with a piece of white jade inlaid on the green scarf on his head, elegant clothes and shoes, carrying a parcel on his back, his skin was white and greasy, and his face was white and rosy, so to speak, it was snow white. matte.Seeing this young man's luxurious clothes and outstanding talent, Long Delin felt good about him, and ordered the boss of the boat to put down the gangway and bring him on board. The young man in green shirt stepped onto the boat, and the boat sank slightly. Yuan Chengzhi was secretly surprised, seeing that he was thin and thin, only about a hundred catties, but when the boat sank, it seemed that there were more than two hundred catties of weight In general, the package on his back is not big, how can it be so heavy?After the young man boarded the boat, the boat sailed away. The young man in green shirt walked into the middle cabin, greeted Long Delin and Yuan Chengzhi, and claimed that his surname was Wen and his name was Qing. Knowing that his mother was ill, he rushed back to visit him.He didn't take it seriously when he saw Long Delin, with beautiful eyes, but he couldn't help looking at Yuan Chengzhi, and asked: "Brother Yuan's accent doesn't seem to be a local?" Yuan Chengzhi said: "My younger brother is originally from Guangdong, and he lived in Shaanxi since he was a child , This is the first time in Jiangnan." Wen Qing asked: "What is the purpose of Brother Yuan going to Zhejiang?" Yuan Chengzhi said: "I am going to visit a friend." Just as he was talking about this, suddenly two small boats were moving oars like flying, and snatched past the two sides of the boat.Wen Qing stared at the boat, watching the two boats turn a corner, blocked by the cliff in front, so she didn't look at it. At lunch time, Long Delin was hospitable and invited the two of them to eat together.Yuan Chengzhi has a lot of food, and he needs to eat three big bowls for one meal. He eats a lot of chicken, fish and vegetables, but Wen Qing only eats one bowl, which is very delicate and elegant. Just after eating, there was a sound of water, and two small boats rushed past the boat.A big man was standing on the prow of a small boat, staring fiercely at the big boat.Wen Qingxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, her face full of anger.Yuan Chengzhi felt strange: "Why did he get angry when he saw these two boats?" Wen Qing seemed to have noticed it, smiled slightly, and his face softened.Taking a cup of tea from the boatman, he took a sip, frowned as if he thought the tea leaves were rough, and put the teacup on the table. In the evening, the boat anchored near a town.Yuan Chengzhi wanted to go ashore for an excursion, but Long Delin refused to stay away from the goods. When inviting Wen Qing, he flattened his lips and said contemptuously, "What is there to do in such a wild place?" It seemed that he had never seen the world .Yuan Chengzhi felt that the young man was arrogant, but he didn't think he was disobedient.He saw that the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are warm and soft, and the scenery is beautiful, which is completely different from the majesty and steepness of Huashan Mountain. He never missed the opportunity to visit along the way.I went ashore and wandered around, bought a few catties of oranges and went back to the boat. When I wanted to treat Long Delin and Wen Qing to eat, I saw that they were both asleep, so I undressed and went to bed. Sleeping until the middle of the night, I suddenly heard the faint sound of whistle in the distance in my sleep.Yuan Chengzhi woke up immediately, remembering all the changes in the rivers and lakes that his master had said, knowing that something was going on, he quietly put on his clothes under the quilt. Soon there was a sudden sound of sculls, and a boat came up downstream.I saw Wen Qing sitting up suddenly, it turned out that he hadn't taken off his clothes, and saw him take out a dazzling long sword from the bed, and jumped to the bow of the boat. Yuan Chengzhi was startled, and speculated: "Could it be that he was sent by the pirates as an undercover agent to rob this businessman surnamed Long?" A lot of trouble.Therefore, he followed his master's instructions and only carried a dagger with him, and the long sword he used to practice swordsmanship was left in Huashan.Immediately, he touched the dagger beside him and sat up. I only heard the opposite boat approaching, and a rough voice on the bow shouted: "Your surname is Wen, do you talk about loyalty in the world?" Wen Qing scolded: "So what, so what if you don't?" : "We have worked so hard to follow all the way from Jiujiang, but you are lucky, come out halfway to eat Liangliangzi!" At this time Long Delin also woke up, looked around, and saw the torches on the four small boats were brightly lit, and the bows of the boats were full of people, all of them holding weapons, they couldn't help shaking in fright.Yuan Chengzhi had already heard that there was a holiday, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's none of your business!" Long Delin said: "He...they are not here to grab my goods...the strongman of the goods?" Wen Qing yelled: "All the wealth in the world is distributed by the people in the world. Could it be that this gold belongs to you?" The man said: "Take out the two thousand taels of gold quickly, and share them equally. We both get one thousand taels, and it's considered cheap for you. "Wen Qing shouted: "Hey, what do you think?" The two big men on the boat said angrily: "Brother Sha, why bother talking to this brutal thing! If he doesn't want a thousand taels of gold, then he won't have a dime." Give it to him." Armed with a weapon, he sprinted towards the big ship. Long Delin was already trembling when he heard them shouting and cursing, but when he saw the two people jumping over in the boat, he was even more frightened, and said loudly: "Yuan...Yuan Xianggong, a strongman...a strongman is here to rob...a robbery." Yuan Chengzhi pulled him behind him, and whispered: "Don't be afraid." I saw Wen Qing's body turned slightly, his left foot flew up, and with a plop, he kicked the person on his left into the river, followed by his right hand with a long sword and cut it down. , cutting down with the trend, with a click, the man even cut off the shoulder knife, fell on the bow of the boat, and passed out.Wen Qing sneered, and shouted: "Boss Sha, don't let these pustules come into the world." The big man opposite snorted, and said: "Go and bring Lao Li back." The two people on the boat came over empty-handed, Wen Qing just He sneered, ignored it, and asked the two to carry back the man whose right arm had been cut off.Soon the man who fell into the river climbed onto the boat dripping wet. Boss Sha shouted: "We Youlong Gang and your Chess Immortal School have never violated the well water. We are in charge of your fifth patriarch's face and don't come to embarrass you. Don't think we are easy to provoke." When Yuan Chengzhi heard him mention the Chess Fairy School, his heart shivered: "Didn't Zhang Chunjiu, who came to Huashan that day, call himself the Chess Fairy School? This guy surnamed Wen belongs to his school, and I'm afraid he is also an evil person." Wen Qing said: "Don't sell to me, you can't beat me, do you want to be soft?" Mr. Sha said angrily: "Are you following the rules of the world?" Wen Qing sneered: "I can do whatever I like, but this A lot of nonsense?" Sha Lao said: "Let's talk first, our Youlong Gang has done our best to speak nice words with you, I just hope that the two sides will not hurt the peace. Your Fifth Patriarch can no longer say that we bully the few with the more, and bully the less with the big. Small." Listening to his tone, Yuan Chengzhi seemed to be very afraid of Wen Qing's fifth ancestor.Wen Qing said with a smile: "With your little tricks, can you deceive me?" Yuan Chengzhi became more and more stiff after listening to the two sides talking, and knew that he must do something.From the words of the two parties, it seems that Youlong Gang wanted to rob a batch of gold, but Wen Qing came out and snatched it.Wen Qing's body was so heavy when he boarded the boat, presumably the two thousand taels of gold were hidden in the package.I thought that neither of them was a gentleman, so I pretended not to know martial arts and just stood by and watched. Boss Sha shouted loudly, holding a wind-throwing big ring knife in his hand, and jumped onto the boat. More than ten big men jumped over one after another and stood behind him.Boss Sha clasped his fists and said: "Your Chess Immortal School is known as being unique in the south of the Yangtze River. Today, your surname Sha is a master!" Wen Qing snorted and said, "Are you fighting me alone, or are you all fighting together? "Old Sha said angrily: "You look down on people too much! Do you have any friends on board who invite him to come out to be a witness? Don't let friends in the rivers and lakes say that the surname Sha is shameless." He turned to the hatch and said: " Tell the friends in the cabin to come out!" Two big men walked into the cabin and said to Yuan Chengzhi and Long Delin: "Our eldest brother wants you to go out." Long Delin trembled all over and dared not make a sound.Yuan Chengzhi said: "They are going to fight, but they just asked us to be a witness, it doesn't matter. Go out." He took his hand and walked onto the bow. Wen Qing seemed to be getting impatient with the wait, so he didn't let Boss Sha say anything more about the scene, and said with a sneer, "You're going to make a fool of yourself, but don't blame me for being hot and aggressive." With two swords, he stabbed the opponent's left shoulder and right shoulder.Boss Sha is tall and big, but his movement is quite nimble. With the "iron bull neck" move of the Pofengdao, he reversed the back of the knife and threw it at Wen Qing. This move not only avoided the sword, but also attacked the enemy, but he was merciful. Hit with the back of the knife. Wen Qing scolded: "If you have any skills, just shake your head out, I don't appreciate your favor." As he said in his mouth, he attacked several times with the long sword in his hand. Boss Sha lost his mind slightly, and with a snort, a piece of his clothes was punctured on his shoulder, and a cut was also cut on his shoulder.He murmured a few curses, and unleashed a wind-throwing knife, slashing and killing fiercely, and his moves were vicious.Wen Qingjian walked lightly, circling back and forth, and the long sword shone with blue light, wrapping the opponent's whole body. Yuan Chengzhi saw that the two had disassembled several moves, and he knew that Wen Qing's martial arts were far superior to Boss Sha's.Boss Sha's sword is Shen Lijin, and it seems mighty, but his saber technique is sluggish.Wen Qing subdued force skillfully, and after a little longer, Boss Sha saw sweat on his forehead, his breathing became thicker, and his body skills were no longer as agile as in the first battle. In the shadow of the sword, light and sword, only Wen Qing's cry was heard, and Lao Sha was hit by the sword on his thigh.His complexion changed drastically, he took three steps forward, raised his right hand, and three nails penetrated the bone.Wen Qingyang knocked two of them flying with his sword, and dodged the other sideways.Among the two bone-penetrating nails he flew, one flew towards Yuan Chengzhi's chest. Wen Qing exclaimed, thinking that this time she would hurt others by mistake.Unexpectedly, Yuan Chengzhi stretched out his left hand, and with only two fingers, he grabbed the bone-penetrating nail.The big men brought by Boss Sha held torches in their hands, illuminating the bow of the boat brightly. Wen Qing could see it clearly, and couldn't help being startled: "This skill is so handsome! It turns out that he is really good at martial arts." Boss Sha saw Wen Qing staring at Yuan Chengzhi with a look of astonishment on his face. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, three more bone-penetrating nails shot past him. Yuan Chengzhi couldn't help shouting anxiously: "Brother Wen, be careful!" Wen Qing hurriedly turned her head, only to see that the three bone-penetrating nails were no more than three feet away from her body. If he hadn't been reminded in time, at most one of them could have been avoided, but the following two nails could never be avoided.He hurriedly turned his head to pass one, swung his sword and knocked the other two into the air, turned around and nodded to Yuan Chengzhi to thank him, straightened his long sword, and stabbed straight at Boss Sha. Boss Sha missed a single blow, so he was already prepared, and he raised the wind-throwing knife and slashed fiercely.Wen Qing hated him for being vicious, and used all his killer moves.After several moves, Boss Sha got a sword in his right arm, and with a clang, the wind-throwing knife fell to the board of the ship.Wen Qing took a step forward and cut off his right leg with a sword.Boss Sha screamed and passed out. His subordinates were shocked and rushed to rescue him.Wen Qing stabbed with the sword in his palm, killing seven or eight people immediately. Yuan Chengzhi couldn't bear it, and said, "Brother Wen, please spare them!" Wen Qing ignored it and continued to assassinate, injuring two more people.Seeing his ferociousness, the others jumped into the river to escape for their lives.Wen Qing swung his sword smoothly, stabbed Boss Sha in the chest, and then kicked his body into the river. Yuan Chengzhi was unhappy.I thought to myself that since you have already won, why should you be so ruthless.When he turned his head to look at Long De's neighbor, he was already paralyzed from fright, unable to move. The members of the Youlong gang who jumped into the river climbed into the boat one after another, shook the oars, and fled downstream quickly. Yuan Chengzhi said: "They want to rob you of your belongings. If they didn't rob you, that's all. Why bother to hurt your life?" Wen Qing gave him a white look, and said, "Didn't you see how despicable and vicious he was just now? If I fall into his hands, I'm afraid there will be worse things. Don't think that you can teach others casually after helping me once. I don't care." Yuan Chengzhi was silent, thinking that this person was unreasonable. Wen Qing wiped away the blood on the sword, put the sword back into its sheath, bowed to Yuan Chengzhi, smiled sweetly, and said, "Brother Yuan, I was lucky to have you sound a warning and told me to avoid hidden weapons. Thank you." Yuan Chengzhi blushed, and bowed back, Deng felt embarrassed and had no words to answer.I only feel that this beautiful young man is a gentleman when he is polite, but he is as cruel as a wolf and a tiger when he is fierce. I don't know what kind of temperament he is. Wen Qing called the boatman out, ordered the boat to wash off the blood on the bow, and set sail immediately.Seeing the fierce fight just now, the boatman dared not obey. He washed the plank with water, pulled the anchor and set sail, and sailed overnight. Wen Qing also asked the boatman to take out Long Delin's food and wine, and he and Yuan Chengzhi watched the moon at the bow of the boat.He never mentioned the fierce fight just now, drank a few glasses of wine, and said: "When will the bright moon come, ask Qing Tian for the wine. Hmph, Qing Tian probably doesn't care about him. When the bright moon likes to come out, he will come out, and if he doesn't like to come out, he won't come out. Brother Yuan, don’t you think so?” Yuan Chengzhi heard that he suddenly dropped the text, so he had to say "um" casually.He studied with Ying Song for a few years when he was young, since he learned martial arts from Mu Renqing, although he occasionally read the books at night, he didn't treat it as a serious homework, and the words were very limited. Wen Qing said: "Brother Yuan, the moon is white and the wind is high. It's such a good night. Let's have a couplet, shall we?" Yuan Chengzhi said: "Couple? What is a couplet? I can't." liquor.Suddenly, I saw a small boat on the river ahead breaking through the waves. Although it was against the current, it was sailing very fast.Wen Qing's complexion changed, she sneered a few times, and just drank. The boat rushed downstream with the wind and the water, and the two boats approached in a blink of an eye.Wen Qing threw down the wine glass, jumped up suddenly, tapped the canopy with both feet a few times, and landed on the back stern.He snatched the rudder from the boss of the boat, and with a single pull, the bow of the boat deflected to the left, aimed at the boat and rammed it straight.The boat was busy trying to get out of the way, but there was no time, only to hear a loud noise, and the two boats had already collided. Yuan Chengzhi yelled: "Ah!" Three people jumped up from the small boat and landed on the bow of the big boat one after another, all of them were quite swift.At this time, the side of the boat turned over, and the bottom of the boat turned to the sky.Yuan Chengzhi saw from afar that there were originally five people on the boat, and besides these three, there were two other people, one at the helm and one at the oars.The two fell into the water before they could jump up, and they sank to the bottom of the river after yelling "Help me".There are many rapids and reefs in this area of ​​the river, even if you are familiar with water, falling into the middle of the river in the dark is not unavoidable. Yuan Chengzhi secretly scolded Wen Qing for being vicious, and went to hurt people again for no reason.When the two men emerged from the water, they immediately stretched out their hands to break the sail rope, bit it in their mouths, propped their feet on the side of the boat, and flew down into the river. With great strength, he made a half circle on the surface of the river, and carried the two of them back to the boat.This time, he not only used the internal strength of Hunyuan Gong, but also used the lightness kung fu taught by Mu Sang.Only four people cheered in unison.One is Wen Qing, he has jumped back from the stern to the bow, and the other three jumped up from the boat. Yuan Chengzhi put the two down, and when he looked at the three under the moonlight, he saw that one was a skinny old man in his fifties with a short, sparse beard, one was a middle-aged man with a stout figure, and the other was about thirty years old. woman. The old man smiled sadly and said: "This brother is very handsome, please tell me your name, who is your master?" Yuan Chengzhi clasped his fists and said: "The late student's surname is Yuan. He pulled up because he saw these two fell into the water and was afraid of danger. He didn't dare to show off his superficial skills in front of the seniors. Please don't be offended." Seeing his humility, the old man was quite unexpected. He thought he was afraid of him, sneered, and said to Wen Qing: "No wonder you are getting bolder and bolder. It turns out that there is such a strong helper behind you. He is yours." Are you on good terms?" 温青登时满脸通红，怒喝：“我尊称你一声长辈，你说话给我放尊重些！” 袁承志心想：“看这些人神气，全非正人，我可莫卷入是非漩涡之中。”朗声说道：“在下与这位温兄也是萍水相逢，谈不上什么交情。我奉劝各位，有事好好商量，不必动刀动枪的伤了和气。” 那老者听了袁承志口气，知他不是温青帮手，喜道：“袁朋友既跟这姓温的没瓜葛，那好极啦。等我们事了之后，我再和袁朋友详谈，咱们很可以交交。江湖上见者有份，我们自然守这规矩。”言下颇有结纳之意，似乎说待会抢到黄金，也可分些给他。袁承志不便回答，作了一揖，退在温青身后。 那老者对温青道：“你小小年纪，做事这等心狠手辣。沙老大打不过你，你赶了他走，也就罢了，干吗要伤他性命？” 温青道：“我只一个人，你们这许多大汉子一拥而上，我不狠一些成么？还说人家呢，也不怕旁人笑你们大欺小，多欺少。有本事哪，就该把人家的金子先给拾掇下来。等我捡了，再阴魂不散地追着来要，想吃现成么？也不知道要不要脸呢？”他语音清脆，咭咭呱呱地一顿抢白，那老者给他说得哑口无言。 那妇人突然双眉竖起，骂道：“你这小娃儿，你温家大人把你宠得越来越没规矩啦。我要问问你爷爷去，是谁教你这般目无尊长？”温青道：“尊长也要有尊长的样儿，想摆摆空架子，来捡便宜，那可不成。” 那老者大怒，右手噗的一掌，击在船头桌上，桌面登时碎裂。温青道：“荣老爷子的功夫如何，我早就知道，左右也不过这点玩意儿，又何必在小辈面前卖弄？你要显功夫，去显给我爷爷们看。”那老者道：“你别抬出你那几个爷爷来压人。你爷爷便怎样？他们真有本事，也不会让女儿给人糟蹋，也不会有你这小杂种来现世啦！”温青惨然变色，伸手握住了剑柄，一只白玉般的手不住抖动，显是气恼已极。那大汉和妇人却大笑起来。 袁承志见温青脸颊上流下两道清泪，心中老大不忍，暗道：“他行事比我老练得多，怎么给人一激就哭了起来？这老头儿跟人吵嘴，怎地又去骂人家的父母？年纪一大把，却不分说道理，乱七八糟的，尽说些难听话来损人。”他本来决意两不相助，但眼见温青被人欺侮，却动了锄强扶弱之念。 那老者阴森森地道：“哭有什么用？快把金子拿出来。我们自己也不贪，金子要拿去给沙老大的寡妇。再说，这位袁朋友也该分上一份。”袁承志忙摇手道：“我不要！” 温青气得身子发颤，哭道：“我偏偏不给。” 那大汉哼了一声，见大船虽已收帆，但仍顺水下流，举起船头的大铁锚，在空中舞了一个圈，向岸上掷去。那铁锚连上铁链，当有一百来斤，他掷得这么远，力气确然不小。铁锚一在岸上钩住，大船登时停了。那大汉叫道：“你到底拿不拿出来？” 温青举起左袖，拭干了泪水，说道：“好，我拿给你们。”奔进船舱，过了一会儿，双手捧着一个包裹出来，看模样甚是沉重。那大汉正要伸手去接，温青喝道：“呸，有这么容易！”手上使劲，那包裹直飞出去，扑通一声大响，落入江心，叫道：“你们有种就把我杀了，要想得金子吗？别妄想啦！”那大汉气得哇哇大叫，拔刀向他砍来。 温青一掷出包裹，便拔剑在手，刷刷两剑，还刺大汉。那老者叫道：“住手！”大汉回架来剑，跃开两步。 那老者向温青侧目斜视，冷笑道：“果然龙生龙，凤生凤，乌龟原是王八种。有这样的老子，就生这样的小畜生。今日再让你这小辈在老夫面前放肆，我就不姓荣啦。”也不见他身子晃动，突然拔起身来，落在温青面前。温青挺剑刺去，那老者空手进招，运掌成风，掌势凌厉。温青虽有长剑在手，却给逼得连连倒退。拆得十多招，温青右腕忽给他手指点中，长剑当啷落地。那老者脚尖一挑，把剑踢将起来，左手握住剑柄，右手搭定剑身，剑光对住温青的脸，向他走去。 老者喝道：“今日不在你身上留个记号，只怕你日后忘了老夫的厉害！”手持长剑，向他脸上划去。温青惊呼闪避，老者步步进逼，毫不放松，左手递出，剑尖青光闪烁，眼见便要划到温青脸上。 袁承志见那老者出手狠辣，心想：“再不出手，他脸上非受重伤不可。”喝道：“前辈请住手，不可伤人！”那老者挺剑而前，全不理会。袁承志从囊中掏出一枚铜钱，向老者手中剑上投去。当的一声，老者只感手上剧震，一枚暗器打上剑刃，撞击之下，虎口觉痛，长剑竟自脱手。温青本已吓得面色大变，这时喜极而呼，纵到袁承志身后，拉着他手臂，似乎求他保护。 那老者姓荣名彩，是游龙帮的帮主，在浙南一带，除了棋仙派五祖、吕七先生等寥寥数人，武功数他为最高。他十指练就大力鹰爪功，比寻常刀剑还更厉害。哪知竟让对方一枚小小暗器将手中兵刃打落，真是生平未遇之奇耻大辱，登时面红过耳，却又不禁暗暗心惊：“这小伙子的手劲怎地如此了得？” 那大汉和妇人也已看出袁承志武功甚强，心想反正金子已给丢入江中，今日有这硬手在这里，无论如何占不到便宜了，不如交待几句场面话，就此退走。那妇人叫道：“老爷子，咱们走吧，冲着这位袁朋友，今日就饶了这娃儿。走得了和尚走不了庙。咱们明儿到衢州静岩去找棋仙派算账就是。” 温青叫道：“见人家本领好，就想走啦，你们游龙帮就会欺软怕硬，羞也不羞？”袁承志眉头一皱，心想这人刚脱大难，随即如此尖酸刻薄，不给人留丝毫余地。那妇人给他说得神情狼狈，满脸怒容。 荣彩也感难以下台，强笑道：“这位老弟功夫真俊，今日相逢，也是有缘，咱俩来玩一趟拳脚如何？”他在大力鹰爪手上下过二十余年苦功，颇具自信，心想你这小子暗器功夫虽好，在拳脚上却决不能胜得过我。 袁承志寻思：“只要跟这老者一动手，就算是助定了温青。这棋仙派的少年心胸狭隘，刁钻狡猾，为了一些金子便胡乱杀人，决不能是益友。何必为他而无谓与人结怨。”便拱手说道：“晚辈初涉江湖，一点微末小技，如何敢在老前辈面前献丑？” 荣彩微微一笑，心想：“这少年倒很会做人。”他乘此收篷，说道：“袁朋友太客气了！”狠狠瞪了温青一眼，说道：“终有一天，叫你这娃儿知道老夫厉害。”转头对那大汉与妇人道：“咱们走吧。” 温青道：“你有多大厉害，我早就知道啦。见到人家功夫好，就不敢动手，巴不得想早早扯呼，赶回家去，先服几包定惊散，再把头钻在被窝里发抖。”他嘴上丝毫不肯让人，立意要挑拨他与袁承志过招。他看出袁承志武功高强，荣彩不是敌手。这一来不但荣彩尴尬万分，连袁承志也自不快。 荣彩怒道：“这位袁朋友年纪虽轻，可是很讲交情，来来来，咱们来玩一手，别让无知小辈说我没胆子。”袁承志道：“老前辈何必和他一般见识，他是说玩话。”荣彩哈哈一笑，说道：“你放心，我决不和你当真。” 温青冷冷地道：“还说不怕呢，没动手，先套交情，赶快还是别过招的好。我活了这么大，还没见过这样，哼，哼，这算什么？我可说不上来啦。荣老爷子，你既怕得很了，何不请这位袁相公回去，请他来当游龙帮的帮主呢？” 荣彩脸一板，正待发作，忽见岸上火光闪动，数十人手执兵刃火把，快步奔来。有人叫道：“荣老爷子，那小子抓到了吧？咱们把这小子剐了，给沙老大报仇！” 温青见对方大队拥到，虽然胆大妄为，心中也不禁惴惴。 荣彩叫道：“刘家兄弟，你们两人过来！”岸上两人应声走到岸边，见大船离岸甚远，扑通两声跳入江内，迅速游到船边，水性极是了得，单手在船舷上一搭，扑地跳了上来。荣彩道：“那包货色给这小子丢到江心去啦，你哥儿俩去捡起来！”说着向江心一指。刘氏兄弟跃落江中，潜入水内。 温青一扯袁承志的袖子，在他耳边低声说道：“快救救我吧，他们要杀我呢！” 袁承志回过头来，月光下见他容色愁苦，一副楚楚可怜的神气，便点了点头。温青拉住他的手道：“他们人多势众。你想法子斩断铁链，咱们开船逃走。”袁承志还未答应，只觉温青的手又软又腻，柔若无骨，甚感诧异：“这人的手掌像棉花一样，当真稀奇。” 这时荣彩已留意到两人在窃窃私议，回头望来。温青把袁承志的手捏了一把，突然猛力举起船头桌子，向荣彩等三人推去。 那大汉与妇人正全神望着刘氏兄弟潜水取金，出其不意，背上为桌子一撞，惊叫一声，一齐掉下水去。荣彩纵身跃起，伸掌抓出，五指嵌入桌面，用力一拉一掀，格格两声，温青握着的桌脚已然折断。荣彩知那大汉与妇人不会水性，这时江流正急，刘氏兄弟相距甚远，不及过来救援。忙把桌子抛入江中，让二人攀住了不致沉下，随即双拳呼呼两招，向温青劈面打来。 温青提了两条桌腿，护住面门，急叫：“快！你。”袁承志提起铁链，混元功内劲到处，一提一拉，大铁锚呼的一声，离岸向船头飞来。荣彩和温青大惊，忙向两侧跃开，回头看袁承志时，但见他手中托住铁锚，缓缓放落船头。铁锚一起，大船登时向下游流去，与岸上众人慢慢远离。荣彩见他如此功力，料知若再逗留，决计讨不了好，双足一顿，提气向岸上跃去。 袁承志看他身法，知他跃不上岸，提起一块船板，向江边掷去。荣彩下落时见足底茫茫一片水光，正自惊惶，突见船板飞到，恰好落在脚下水面之上，大喜过望，左脚在船板上一借力，跃上了岸。暗暗感激他好意，又不禁佩服他的功力，自己人先跃出，他飞掷船板，居然能及时赶到。 温青哼了一声，道：“不分青红皂白，便是爱做滥好人！到底你是帮我呢，还是帮这老头儿？让他在水里浸一下，喝几口江水不好吗？又不会淹死人。” 袁承志知这人古怪，不愿再理。心想这种人以少惹为妙，自己救了他性命，他非但毫不感恩，反如此无礼数说。当下也不接口，回到舱里睡了。 次日下午船到衢州，袁承志谢了龙德邻，取出五钱银子给船老大。龙德邻定要代付，袁承志推辞不得，只得又作揖相谢。 温青对龙德邻道：“我知你不肯替我给船钱，哼，你就是要给，我也不要你的。”从包裹中取出一只十两重的银元宝，掷给船老大，道：“给你。”船老大见这么大一只元宝，吓得呆了，说道：“我找不出。”温青道：“谁要你找？都给你。”船老大不敢相信，说道：“不用这许多。”温青骂道：“啰唆什么？我爱给这许多，就给这许多，你招得我恼起上来，把你船底上打几个窟窿，叫你这条船沉了！”船老大昨晚见他力杀数人，凶狠异常，不敢多说，连谢也不敢谢，忙收起元宝。 温青在桌上打开包裹，一阵金光耀眼，包裹中累累皆是黄金，十两一条的金条总有二百来条。他右拳在金条堆中切了下去，从中平分为两份，将一份包入包裹，背在背上，双手把另一堆金条推到袁承志面前，说道：“给你！”袁承志不解，问道：“什么？” 温青笑道：“你当我真的把金子抛到了江里吗？让他们去江底瞎摸，摸来摸去只是衣服包着的一块压舱石。”说着咯咯大笑，只笑得前仰后合，伏在桌子上身子发颤。 袁承志也不禁佩服他的机智。心想这人年纪比自己还轻着一两岁，连荣彩这样的老手也给他瞒过，说道：“我不要，你都拿去，我帮你并非为了金子。”温青道：“这是我送给你的，又不是你自己拿的，何必装伪君子？”袁承志不住摇头。 龙德邻虽是富商，但黄澄澄一大堆金子放在桌上，一个定然不要，一个硬要对方拿去，这样的事情固然闻所未闻，此刻亲眼目睹，兀自不信，只道袁承志嫌少。 温青怒道：“不管你要不要，我总是给了你。”突然跃起，纵上岸去。 袁承志出其不意，一呆之下，忙飞身追出，两个起落，已抢在他面前，双手一拦，说道：“别走，你把金子带去！”温青冲向右，他拦在右面，温青冲向左，又被他抢先挡住。温青几次闯不过，发了脾气，举掌向他劈面打去。袁承志举左掌轻轻一架，温青已自抵受不住，向后连退三步，这才站住。他知道无法冲过，忽然往地下一坐，双手掩面，放声大哭，袁承志大奇，连问：“我震痛了你吗？”温青“呸”了一声：“你才痛呢！”一笑跃起。袁承志不敢再追，目送他背影在江边隐去。 眼见他一身武功，杀人不眨眼，明明是个江湖豪客，哪知又哭又笑，竟如此刁钻古怪。不由得摇摇头回到船内，把金条包起，与龙德邻拱手作别。 他在衢州城内大街上找了一家客店住下，心想：“这一千两黄金来路不正，我决不能收。我不过见他可怜，才出手相助，岂能收他酬谢？那老头说他们棋仙派在衢州静岩，我何不找到他家里去？他如再撒赖，我放下金子便走。” 翌日问明了静岩的途径，负了金子，迈开大步走去。静岩离衢州二十多里，他脚步迅速，不消半个时辰就到了。 静岩是个小镇，附近便是烂柯山。相传晋时樵夫王质入山采樵，观看两位仙人对弈，等到一局既终，回过头来，自己的斧头柄已经烂了，回到家来，人事全非，原来入山一去已经数十年。烂柯山上两峰之间有一条巨大的石梁相连，鬼斧神工，非人力所能搬上。当地故老相传是神仙以法力移来，静岩镇附近另有一镇，名为石梁，即以此命名。棋仙派之名，也当是从仙人对弈而起。 袁承志来到镇上，迎面遇见一个农妇，问道：“大嫂，请问这里姓温的住在哪里？”那农妇吃了一惊，说道：“不知道！”脸上一副嫌恶的神气，掉头便走。 袁承志走到一家店铺，向掌柜的请问。那掌柜淡淡地道：“老兄找温家有什么事？”袁承志道：“我要去交还一些东西。”那掌柜冷笑道：“那么你是温家的朋友了，又来问我干什么？”袁承志讨了个没趣，心想这里的人怎地如此无礼。见街边两个小童在玩耍，摸出十个铜钱，塞在一个小童的手里，说道：“小兄弟，你带我到温家去。”那小童本已接过了钱，听了他的话，把钱还他，气忿忿地道：“温家？那边大屋子就是，这鬼地方我可不去。”袁承志这才明白，原来姓温的在这里搞得天怒人怨，没人肯跟他家打交道，倒不是此地居民无礼。 他依着小童的指点，向那座大屋子走去，远远只听得人声嘈杂。走到近处，见数百名农人拿了锄头铁耙，围在屋前，大叫大嚷：“你们把人打得重伤，眼见性命难保，就此罢了不成？姓温的，快出来抵命！”人群中有七八个妇人，披散了头发坐在地上哭嚷。 袁承志走将过去，问一个农夫道：“大哥，你们在这里干吗？”那农夫道：“啊，你是过路的相公。这里姓温的强凶霸道，昨天下乡收租，程家老汉求他宽限几天，他一下就把人推得撞向墙上，受了重伤。程老汉的儿子侄儿和他拼命，都被他打得全身是伤，只怕三个人都难活命。你说这样的财主狠不狠？相公你倒评评这个
