Chapter 7 Chapter 6: Going Over the Wall and Hugging a Virgin
Wen Nanyang said: "That was twenty years ago, when I was twenty-six years old. My father asked me to go to Yangzhou to help my sixth uncle." Yuan Chengzhi thought to himself: "It turns out that the fifth ancestor of the Wen family in Jingyan originally had Sixth Brother." Wen Nanyang continued: "I didn't meet Uncle Six when I arrived in Yangzhou. I went out to do a case one night and accidentally missed it." Wen Yi said coldly: "I don't know what case is it?"
Wen Nanyang said angrily: "Man, if you dare to do it, don't you dare to say it? I saw a big girl from a family who was good-looking and jumped into the wall to pick flowers at night. She refused, so I killed her with a knife. But when she was about to die, she screamed." Shouting, people heard it. Among the martial artists in the guarding courtyard, there were some good fighters, they came all at once, and the good guys were no match for the crowd, so I was captured by them."
Yuan Chengzhi didn't feel ashamed when he heard him describe his evil deeds, thinking that this person was really shameless.
Wen Nanyang said again: "They beat me up and sent me to the yamen to be imprisoned. I'm not afraid. My case is not a trivial matter, and it has been widely circulated. I think that since the sixth uncle is in Yangzhou, he How amazing is martial arts. After hearing the news, he will come to rescue me from prison. Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than ten days, the sixth uncle never came. The Shangguan wrote in detail and sentenced me to a decisive sentence. The jailer told me , I panicked." Wen Qingqing snorted, and said: "I also said that you are not afraid of death."
Wen Nanyang ignored her, and continued: "After three days, the prison chief brought me a large bowl of wine and a plate of meat. I knew that I would be executed tomorrow, and I thought that people must die, but I am young, and I haven't enjoyed enough blessings, so I can't help but feel a little pity. I was so upset, I ate all the wine and meat, and fell asleep. I slept until midnight, and suddenly someone patted me on the shoulder. I turned over and sat up, listening Someone had to whisper in my ear: "Shut up, I'll get you out!" Then there were a few clicks, and the iron shackles on my hands and feet were cut off by his extremely sharp weapon. He took my hand and jumped out of the prison. The man was very good at lightness kung fu, and his hands were strong. He took my hand and saved a lot of energy on my way. The two came to a ruined temple outside the city, and he lit up the gods. Only then did I see clearly that he is a handsome young man, a few years younger than me. He is a pretty boy, huh!"
Having said that, he gave Wen Yi and Qingqing a hard look, and continued: "I saluted him to thank him. The man was very proud, and he didn't return the salute, saying: 'My surname is Xia, and your surname is from the Chess Fairy School. Is it warm?" I nodded and said yes. At this time, I saw the weapon that cut off my shackles hanging on his waist. It looked like a sword, but the sword head was forked, which looked very strange."
Yuan Chengzhi thought to himself: "That is the Golden Snake Sword." He remained calm, and heard Wen Nanyang continue: "I asked his name, and he said coldly: 'You don't need to know, anyway, you won't be grateful in the future Me." At that time, I was very strange, thinking that he saved my life, of course I am grateful for the rest of my life. The man said: "I saved you because of your sixth uncle Wen Fanglu. Come with me!" I followed him to the edge of the canal , got on a boat, and he ordered the boss of the boat to sail south. The boat left Yangzhou for more than ten miles, and I slowly felt relieved, knowing that the government would not come to chase after me. I asked a few words, but he just sneered and didn’t answer , suddenly took out a pair of moth eyebrows from his pocket and stabbed them. This is Uncle Six’s weapon, and he never left it with him. How could it fall into this man’s hands? I wondered. The man said: “Your Uncle Six is my good friend, haha He laughed a few times, and suddenly murderous look appeared on his face. I couldn't help shivering. He said, "You take this box home." He pointed to the cabin, and I saw that the box was very big , fastened firmly with iron nails, and tied with thick ropes outside. He said, "Hurry up and go home, and don't stop on the way. This box must be opened by your uncle himself." I agreed one by one. He said : "I will visit your house within a month. The elders in your family should welcome me well." I heard him talking nonsense, but I had to agree. After he finished his instructions, he suddenly lifted the anchor on the boat, and it clicked , knocked down all four anchor claws."
Hearing this, Wen Qingqing couldn't help shouting: "Okay!" Wen Nanyang spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground with a "Bah".Qingqing's sex is clean, and she feels sad to see him ruining the small rose pavilion she arranged with her own hands.Knowing what she meant, Yuan Chengzhi stretched out his feet to wipe away the phlegm.Qingqing glanced at him with gratitude in her eyes.
Wen Nanyang continued: "He showed me his martial arts, but I don't know what his intention was. He threw the broken anchor into the cabin and said, 'If you don't follow my instructions, open the box to peek and steal the treasures, and you'll be fine. If you do another case on the road, this anchor will be your example!" He took out a piece of silver from his bag, threw it on the board of the boat, and said, "Your travel expenses!" He pulled up the two pennies on the bow, He clasped his hands separately, inserted the penny in his left hand into the river, and jumped into the air, he let go of the penny, and turned a few somersaults in the air, skillfully moving all the way, all the way to the shore, and when he fell, he had already reached the shore. He heard a long laugh on the shore, and his body disappeared into the shadows."
Yuan Chengzhi thought to himself: "This golden snake gentleman is very heroic." He only thought about it in his heart, but Qingqing blatantly praised him: "This man is really a hero. He is so majestic and majestic!"
Wen Nanyang said: "Hero? Bah! Ying is a fucking hero. At that time, I only knew that he was my savior. Although he had a fierce look in his eyes when he spoke, and seemed to hate me very much, I also said that he had a weird temper, and he was not very serious. I care. After crossing the river, I hired another boat and came home. The people who carried it along the way said that the box was very heavy. I think Uncle Six must have made a fortune this time, and the box was full of gold and silver treasures. I After spending so much effort to bring me home, my uncles will definitely give me a share, so I am very happy. After returning home, my father and uncles praised me for my ability, saying that it was my first debut, and I did not do badly."
Qingqing interrupted and said: "It's not bad, I killed a big girl and brought a big box." Wen Yi said: "Qingqing, don't talk too much, listen to Uncle Qi."
Wen Nanyang said: "That night, the hall was full of candles, and two servants brought the box in. Daddy and four uncles sat in the middle. I did it myself, first cut the rope, and then pulled out the nails one by one. I remember very clearly that the uncle said with a smile at that time: "I don't know which girl the sixth child has taken a fancy to. She is so ridiculous that she doesn't want to go home. Let Nan Yang bring this box back first. Come on, let's see if it's right." What a treasure!' I opened the lid of the box, and saw that it was full, covered with a layer of paper, and there was a letter on the paper, and the words "Wen Brothers Opened Together" were written on the envelope. I saw those few Uncle Liu didn't seem to write the letter, so he handed the letter to the uncle. He didn't open the letter, but said, "What's underneath?" Sew it tightly with thread. The uncle said: "Sister-in-law Liu, you can use scissors to tear it apart. Why is the sixth brother suddenly becoming more careful?" Seven or eight poisonous arrows were shot out from the parcel."
Qingqing exclaimed.Yuan Chengzhi thought to himself: "This is the usual technique of Mr. Golden Snake."
Wen Nanyang said: "Thinking about this incident is still frightening. If I was in a hurry to unravel the burden, would I still be alive? These poisonous arrows, every arrow has been shot into Aunt Six's flesh. Then Seeing the blood-sealed throat and extremely poisonous medicine arrows, Aunt Six immediately turned black, and she fell to the ground and died without even groaning."
When he said this, he turned his head and said sharply to Qingqing: "That's what your father did. As a result, everyone in the hall was shocked. Fifth Uncle suspected that I was a traitor and forced me to open the bag. I stood far away , using a long pole to pick apart the burden, and finally no more arrows shot out. Do you know what kind of pearl is in the parcel?" Qingqing said: "What?"
Wen Nanyang said coldly: "The corpse of your sixth grandfather! It was cut into eight pieces!"
Qingqing was taken aback, her lips turned white with fright.Wen Yi stretched out his arms to hug her.
The four were silent for a while.Wen Nanyang said: "Do you think this person is poisonous? He just killed the sixth uncle, but sent his body home like this." Wen Yi said: "Why did he do this, you haven't said yet." Wen Nanyang said : "Hmph, of course you think it's right. As long as it's something your concubine does, you can say it's good no matter what."
Wen Yi looked at the stars in the sky, lost his mind for a while, and said slowly: "He is my husband. Although we have not worshiped heaven and earth, in my heart, he is my real husband. Qingqing, I was younger than you now Two years old, more childish than you, don't like to learn martial arts, don't understand anything. These uncles are fierce and savage at home, and do all kinds of evil. I have never liked them. To be honest, I don't feel bad when I see Uncle Liu died. At that time I just wondered how could Uncle Six be killed with such good martial arts. I only heard my uncle pick up the letter and read it aloud. It has been twenty years since this happened, but what happened that night I still remember the situation clearly. I also remember the words in that letter clearly.
"The uncle's face turned pale with anger, and his voice trembled when he read the letter. He read like this: 'The chess fairy sent the Wen brothers to listen: I will send you the body of your younger brother Wen Fanglu, please accept it. This person insulted me back then. After my sister, I killed her again, and killed my parents, elder brother, and all five members of my family. I escaped alone, and now I am returning to take revenge. The blood debt will be repaid ten times, and my hatred will be relieved. I will kill fifty people in your family , pollute ten women in your family. If this number is not enough, I swear not to be a human being. Xia Xueyi, the Golden Snake Lord, declares.'”
After she finished reciting the letter, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Wen Nanyang, "Seventh Brother, Sixth Uncle killed his whole family, does this happen?"
Wen Nanyang said proudly: "We are men, we have joined the underworld, robbed wealth, robbed sex, murdered and set fire, that is not uncommon. The sixth uncle saw that his sister was good-looking, so he refused to obey, so he drew his sword and killed her, so what's the big deal There was no need to kill him all over the house. It must be that the Sixth Uncle and her family have turned against each other, and that's why they wanted to kill them. It's a pity that this bastard slipped through the net at that time, which caused endless troubles." Wen Yi sighed: "You men are outside How can we women know at home that we have committed such a great crime?"
Wen Nanyang said: "Uncle finished reading the letter, he laughed and said: 'It's best for this thief to come to the door, otherwise we will go find him, and we don't know where he is hiding?' Although he said so, he was very cautious. Carefully interrogate me about the traitor's appearance and martial arts, everyone put on strict guard that night, and sent people to call the seventh and eighth uncles back from Jinhua and Yanzhou overnight."
Yuan Chengzhi wondered: "Why do they have so many brothers?" Qingqing also asked: "Mom, we still have Grandpa Seven and Grandpa Eight, why didn't I know?" Wen Yi said: "That's your grandpa's cousin, I didn't live here. Eight people, so Wen's family is called 'Bade Hall'!" Qingqing said: "What kind of virtue?"
Wen Nanyang said: "Seventh Uncle has always lived in Jinhua, and Eighth Uncle lives in Yanzhou. Although we are a family, not many people outside know about it. But the news about the golden snake traitor is also true. As soon as Seventh Uncle and Eighth Uncle set off, they stopped on the way. I was killed by him. This traitor was elusive. On a certain day, he stole a batch of bamboo chips used for counting the rented rice at our house. He killed one of us, and then planted a bamboo chip on the dead person. , it seems that if you don't fill up fifty sticks, you won't give up."
Qingqing said: "There are more than a hundred people in our house, how can they not resist? How many people does he have?"
Wen Nanyang said: "He is only one person. This traitor never shows up in public, and he doesn't know where he hides at ordinary times. He only waits for our people to be alone, and then he will attack. Uncle invited dozens of Jianghu experts to Jingyan, We ate and drank in the house all day long. When the traitor arrived, a big notice was posted outside the house, inviting him to come to the duel in an open and honest manner. But he ignored it. Seeing that there were so many of us, we disappeared. After half a year, these rivers and lakes The masters slowly dispersed, and the third elder brother of the first house and the ninth younger brother of the fifth house suddenly drowned in the pond, and bamboo chips were planted on their bodies. It turned out that the traitor was really patient, and waited quietly for half a year. Let’s start. For ten days in a row, people died in the house every day. The coffin shop in Jingyan Town was too late to make coffins, so I had to buy them in Quzhou City. To the outside, it was only said that the house hit the plague god and caused a plague. Sister Yi, these are terrible Do you remember the days when
Wen Yi said: "At that time, the whole town was in panic. Our house was patrolled day and night, and my father and uncles took turns to patrol. Women and children gathered in the middle room, and they dared not step out of the gate."
Wen Nanyang gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, the two sister-in-laws in the fourth room were kidnapped by him in the middle of the night. At that time, we only knew that they were killed by him again. Who would have thought that after more than a month, the two sister-in-laws brought them from Yangzhou?" The letter came, saying that he was sold into a brothel by this traitor, and was forced to accept customers for a month. The fourth uncle was so angry that he almost fainted, and the two daughters-in-law also wanted to kill all the old bustards and slaves in the hall. The clients of the prostitutes, even their two sisters-in-law were killed together, and they set fire to the eight halls in Yangzhou."
Yuan Chengzhi was horrified when he heard this, and thought: "Although this Golden Snake Lord is avenging his parents, brothers and sisters, it is enough to kill the culprit. This is too much." He even killed his two daughter-in-laws?" He couldn't help shaking his head, disapproving.
Wen Nanyang said: "The most irritating thing is that every time the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and New Year's Day come, he sends a letter and makes a list, saying how many lives are owed and how many women are there. There are dozens of chess immortals in Jiangnan. Years ago, he was so exhausted by this traitor alone. Everyone planned to avenge this. But the traitor is too strong. Father and uncles fought him several times, but they couldn't beat him. Let's be on guard He didn't come for several months, and if he slacked off a bit, something would happen immediately. We were in the open, and he was in the dark. There was nothing we could do. In two years, our Wen family killed thirty-eight people, big and small, for him. Qingqing, tell me, should we hate this villain?" Qingqing said, "What happened next?" Wen Nanyang said, "Let your mother go on."
Wen Yi glanced at Yuan Chengzhi, and said sadly: "His bones were buried by Yuan Xianggong, so I don't have to hide anything from you. I just ask Yuan Xianggong to tell our mother and daughter about his death later. You two know...then..."
When she said this, her voice choked up again, and after a while, she said: "At that time, I didn't understand why he was so cruel, and I actually didn't want to understand. Dad didn't allow us to step out of the gate. I was so depressed that I could only play in the garden every day." Playing. Dad also said that without the company of my brothers, girls can’t go to the garden even in broad daylight. It’s March in Yangchun, and the scent of rapeseed flowers in the field blows in from the window. I really want to go to the hillside to have a look Flowers, smell the freshness of the wind in the field, but the golden snake man who killed people shut me up in the house in such a fine weather. I really want to sneak out for a while , but when I thought of my father's stern look, I didn't dare anymore. This afternoon, I, my three sisters in the second room, my sister-in-law in the fifth room, Brother Nanyang, you and Brother Tianba, the five of us were in the garden I am playing, I am swinging on a swing, I am swinging higher and higher. I float up and look out from the top of the wall. I am so happy to see the green willows and the lush peach blossoms. Suddenly, Brother Tianba screamed strangely , fell to the sky, I was shocked, and later found out that he had a golden snake cone in the chest of the man, and he was killed on the spot. How about you, Brother Nanyang? I remember that you fled into the house immediately and killed the three of us. Women are left outside."
Wen Nanyang blushed, and argued, "I can't beat him. Wouldn't it be a waste of my life if I don't leave? I'm going to call for rescue."
Wen Yi said: "I still don't understand what's going on. I saw a person jump off the wall and just stood on my swing. He swung hard, and the swing flew up. He hugged me around the waist, and I Then I felt like flying out of the clouds and fog. I thought that the two of them would fall to death, but I didn't know that he held me with his left hand, and with his right hand on the big tree branch outside the wall, he bounced up again and landed gently. It was a few feet away. At this time, I was so frightened that I raised my fist and hit him in the face. His finger touched my shoulder, and I was paralyzed and I couldn't move. I could only hear a lot of people behind me shouting and chasing after me. , but then the sound became farther and farther away. He ran with me for a long time, went up a peak, and entered a cave on a cliff. He unlocked my acupuncture points and looked at me with a grin. I suddenly remembered the two sisters-in-law , thinking that instead of being humiliated, it would be better to die cleanly, so he slammed his head into the rock. He pulled me in the back, so I didn't die, leaving this scar." He pointed to his forehead.Yuan Chengzhi saw that the scar was hidden in the clumps of hair, and the exposed one was about an inch long, deep into the top of his head. It seemed that the injury was really serious at that time.
Wen Yi sighed: "If I just let me hit him to death, it would be much better for him. Who would have thought that this pull would actually hurt him. I passed out at that time, and when I woke up, I saw that I was wrapped in clothes. A blanket, I was startled and almost fainted. Later, seeing that I was well dressed, I was a little relieved, thinking that he saw that I wanted to die, and the robber showed kindness, so he didn’t do anything to harm me. I tightly She closed her eyes, not daring to look at him, and not even daring to think about what was in front of her.
"He was afraid that I would die again, so he guarded me day and night during those two days. He talked to me, but I naturally didn't answer. He cooked something for me, but I just cried and didn't eat anything. On the fourth day, Seeing that I was really hungry, he boiled a big bowl of broth and softly persuaded me to drink it. I ignored it, but he suddenly grabbed me, pinched my nose, and poured the broth into my mouth In this way, I forced me to drink half a bowl of soup. As soon as he loosened his hand, I sprayed a mouthful of hot soup on his face. I wanted to make him angry, so I simply killed me with a single knife, so as not to be bullied by him, and then sent Like the two sisters-in-law, I was sold to a brothel to suffer. Unexpectedly, he was not angry, just smiled, wiped the soup from his face with his sleeve, stared at me blankly, and couldn't help sighing."
Yuan Chengzhi and Qingqing glanced at each other, and Qingqing suddenly blushed.
Wen Yi said: "That night, he slept at the entrance of the cave and said to me: 'May I sing a little song for you?' I said: 'I don't like to listen to it.' He jumped up happily and said: 'I Think you are dumb, but you can talk." I scolded: "Who is dumb? I won't speak when I see bad people." He stopped talking, and happily sang folk songs, singing In the middle of the night, until the moon came out, he was still singing. I have been living in a big mansion, where have I heard this kind of... this kind of folk song."
Wen Nanyang shouted: "You are afraid to hear but also want to hear, don't you? Who is patient to listen to your shameless things!" He strode out of the pavilion.Qingqing said: "He must be going to tell the grandpas." Wen Yi said: "Let him talk, I don't care about anything long ago." Qingqing said: "Mom, you go on."
Wen Yi said: "Later I fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up the next morning, I couldn't see him. I wanted to escape home alone. But this cave is on the top of a mountain, and the mountain is so steep. There is no way to go down, only someone like him with extremely high lightness kungfu can go up and down. He came back at noon and brought me a lot of jewelry and makeup powder. I didn’t want them, so I threw them into the valley. Not angry, and sang to me at night.
"One day, he brought a lot of chickens, kittens, and little turtles up the mountain. He knew that I couldn't bear to throw these living things down the mountain. He played with the cats all day long, fed the little turtles, and at night He sang to me. I slept in a cave, and he never stepped into the cave. Seeing that he would not invade me, I was relieved and willing to eat. But for more than a month, I have not talked to him. He has always been very gentle and kind to me, neither father nor mother treat me so well.
"A few days later, he suddenly put on a straight face and looked at me viciously. I was very scared and started to cry. He sighed and coaxed me not to cry. That night I heard him cry, crying very hard Sad. Soon, it started to rain heavily, but he still refused to come into the cave. I couldn't bear it in my heart, and told him to go into the cave to hide from the rain, but he ignored it.
"I asked him why he was crying, and he said in a rough voice: 'Tomorrow is the birthday of my father, mother, brother, and sister. My whole family was killed by your family on this day. Tomorrow I will have to say anything. Kill a person to take revenge. Your family is very well-prepared right now, and you have invited Daoist Li Zhuo from Kongtong Sect and Zen Master Qingming from Shifang Temple as helpers. Hmph, although these two are powerful, can I just stop here?' He gritted his teeth. , I went down to the peak in the heavy rain. The next day at dusk, he still didn’t come back, I was a little worried, and secretly hoped that he would come back safely.”
Hearing this, Qingqing secretly glanced at Yuan Chengzhi to see if he looked contemptuous, but seeing him sitting upright and listening attentively, she was relieved and let out a slow breath.
Wen Yi said: "It's getting dark, I went to the side of the mountain to look at it several times. I didn't know how many times I went to look at it, and finally saw four figures chasing each other on the opposite mountain, and their movements were extremely fast. I looked carefully, and the first person was indeed him, followed by a Taoist priest, the other was a monk, and the fourth was my father. He was holding the Golden Snake Sword in his hand, and he fought against the three of them, fighting while fleeing. After fighting for a while, the monk swiped across with his Zen stick. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, I was anxious and shouted loudly. Unexpectedly, his Golden Snake Sword turned back and cut off a piece of the Zen stick. Dad heard the cry, When I looked back and saw me, I stopped fighting and ran towards my mountain peak.
"He was very anxious. He pushed the monk and the Taoist away with two swords, and then chased after him. Now, my father was in front, he was in the middle, and the monk and Taoist were behind. The four of them ran down the valley soon after. He chased I got on my father and stopped him from coming to my side of the mountain. After a few rounds of fighting, a monk arrived together. My father jumped out and climbed up to my side. The four fought and ran, and they caught up with me. Standing on the mountain peak. I was very happy and shouted: "Daddy, come quickly!" At this time, he rushed over like crazy, and made three swords in succession, forcing Daddy to retreat. Daddy couldn't beat him, seeing the danger , The monk and Dao also arrived. Dad called: "Ayi, how are you!" I said: "I'm fine, Dad, don't worry." Dad said: "Okay, let's take care of this traitor first." Three People surrounded him again.
"The Taoist said loudly: 'Mr. Jin Snake, our Kongtong faction has no grievances or enmities with you, but you are too much, so you stand up to be a peacemaker. I will not help anyone. If you agree, let it go. Don't go to Wen's house to cause trouble in the future, so today's matter will be good." He shouted: "How can we not avenge the revenge of parents and brothers and sisters?" The monk said: "You have killed so many people, it should be enough I advise you to look at the faces of the two of us and stop now!' He suddenly raised his sword and stabbed at the monk, and the four of them fought fiercely again. The Taoist's weapon was a bit weird, and he was very powerful in martial arts. The monk's Zen stick There was only half of it left, which made the wind whistling violently, which was also very strong. He became more and more unbearable, sweating profusely, and suddenly staggered and almost fell.
"The monk swung his stick and let him dodge sideways. He saw my face from this side of his body. He said later that he was already exhausted at that time, but when he saw me, he showed great concern for him. Suddenly, his spirit was lifted. His sword became faster and faster, and the mist in the valley rose, and only golden light shone in the mist. He could only hear him shouting: "Miss Wen, don't be afraid, look at me!" The monk yelled and rolled down the mountain with a gurgling sound. A golden snake cone was nailed into the middle of his forehead. Both my father and the Taoist were shocked. He stabbed my father with his sword, and the Taoist took advantage of the vain to attack his back. He suddenly shouted, and pointed his left hand at the Taoist's eyes. The Taoist lowered his head, and he swung his sword, cutting the Taoist in half."
Qingqing yelled "Yeah".Wen Yi said: "He swung his sword back and stabbed at my father. My father was terrified when he saw him killing two big helpers one after another. The steel rod was getting slower and slower. I rushed out of the hole and shouted "Stop, stop!" He stopped when he heard me yell. I said, "This is my father!" He gave my father a hard look and said, "Go away, spare your life!" Daddy was very surprised and turned around to leave. At this time, because I hadn’t eaten all day, and I was worried and frightened just now, I was overjoyed to see him spare Daddy, and suddenly fell down. He rushed over to help me, and I looked over his shoulder When he went out, he saw that his father had a fierce look in his eyes, suddenly raised the steel rod, and hit him hard on the back of the head.
"He only paid attention to whether I was injured. He didn't expect Daddy to attack me unexpectedly. I couldn't help shouting: 'Be careful!' He quickly turned his head to avoid the steel rod, which hit his back. He snatched the steel stick between his hands, threw it into the valley, and hit his father with both palms. Dad couldn't parry, closed his eyes and waited for death. He looked back at me, sighed, and said to his father: "Go quickly. Don't Let me change my mind, and I won’t forgive you again!’ Dad ran down the mountain in a hurry. He suffered from the stick on his back, and was seriously injured. As soon as Dad left, he sprayed a mouthful of blood on my chest.”
Qingqing snorted and said: "Grandpa is so shameless, he can't beat him in the open, so he came to secretly kill him!"
Wen Yi sighed: "It is reasonable to say that he is my family's great enemy, and even killed dozens of people in my family. But seeing him being besieged and plotted against, I can't help but turn to him in my heart. This is also called the injustice of previous lives.
"He staggered into the cave, took out the wound medicine from his pouch, ate it, and sprayed a lot of blood. I was so scared that I just cried. Although he was injured, he looked very happy, and asked me: 'You Why are you crying?" I cried, "You're so hurt." He smiled and asked, "Are you crying for me?" I couldn't answer, I just felt very sad.
"After a while, he said: 'Since my whole family was killed by your sixth uncle, no one has ever cared about me. I killed a cousin of yours today, and I have killed a total of forty people. Kill ten more people, for the sake of your tears, let's stop and not kill.' I just cried and didn't speak. He said again: "I won't hurt your woman anymore. I will send you off after I recover from the injury." Go home." I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. I just felt that it would be good if he promised not to kill anyone. In the next few days, I will cook soup and cook and serve him wholeheartedly. But he keeps vomiting blood, sometimes lost his mind. Confusedly always called 'Mom'.
"One day he passed out all day, and at dusk he couldn't see anymore. My eyes were swollen from crying. He suddenly opened them, smiled, and said, 'It doesn't matter, I won't die.' After two weeks My God, it really got better gradually. He told me one night that he was hit by this stick that day, and he would not be able to live, but thinking that after his death, I would not be able to go on this peak, and my family was afraid again. If he dare not come looking for him, then I must starve to death. For me, he must live no matter what."
Qingqing interjected: "Mom, he treats you very well, this man has a very good conscience." As he spoke, he gave Yuan Chengzhi a hard look.Yuan Chengzhi's face became hot, he turned his head away, and his eyes no longer met her.
Wen Yi continued: "Afterwards, he gradually recovered and told me about his childhood, how his parents loved him, and how his brothers and sisters loved him. Once he was ill, his mother stayed awake for three days and three nights. At his bedside. Unexpectedly, one night, Uncle Six actually killed his whole family. At that time, I felt that although this man was vicious and vicious, when he talked about his relatives, his tone was very kind and gentle. He took out an embroidered He came to show me his red bellyband, saying it was embroidered by his mother when he was one year old."
When she said this, she took out a child's bellyband from her arms and spread it on the table.Yuan Chengzhi saw that the bellyband had a red satin face, a white satin lining, and a fat baby embroidered with a naked body sleeping on a large plantain leaf.The chubby doll has a cute and naive look, and his embroidery is exquisite. When he wants to get his mother to embroider, he is full of love for his son.Yuan Chengzhi had no parents since he was a child. When he saw this bellyband and thought of his life experience, he couldn't help feeling sad.
Wen Yi continued: "He often sang folk songs to me. He also cut wood into puppies, ponies, and dolls for me to play with, saying that I was an ignorant female doll. Later, his injuries were completely healed, and I saw him getting better and better. The more unhappy I was, I couldn't help asking him why. He said he couldn't bear to leave me. I said: 'Then I'll stay here with you!'
"He was very happy, yelling, jumping up and down on two big trees on the peak, doing somersaults like a monkey.
"He said to me: He got a map and knew the location of a great treasure, including gold, silver and jewels, which were incalculable. It is said that the former King Yan usurped the throne and fought from Beijing to Nanjing. Emperor Jianwen fled in a hurry and took the inside Curry’s pearl treasure was buried in a secret place in Nanjing. After King Yan took over the throne, he searched the whole city of Nanjing but could not find it. He sent Sanbao eunuchs to the West several times, firstly to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, and secondly It is to explore these treasures."
Yuan Chengzhi thought: "It turned out that this treasure map was discovered in the "Golden Snake Secret Book"."
Wen Yi continued: "He said that Emperor Chengzu never found this map in his life, but after hundreds of years, he got it by accident. Now that he has finished his revenge, he will go to find these treasures. After finding them, Then come to pick me up, and now take me home."
When she said this, she said softly: "He doesn't want me to leave him, in fact, I also don't want to. But...but... I can't just go with him like this. After I go home, everyone looks down on me, I was very angry. They couldn't protect their daughter, I went home clean and everyone humiliated me, so I ignored them. Don't talk to them."
Qingqing interjected: "Mom, you are right, what did you do wrong?"
Wen Yi said: "I have been waiting at home for three months. One night, I suddenly heard someone singing under the window. As soon as I heard the sound, I knew it was him. I quickly opened the window to let him in. We are very happy to see you. This I will be with him tonight, and have you as a child. That's what I want, and I don't regret it at all. People say he forced me, no. Qing'er, your father treats your mother very well. We have always been very affectionate. He has always valued me and never forced me." Yuan Chengzhi secretly admired her courage, and he couldn't help but feel sad when she heard her speak passionately.Qingqing suddenly sang in a low voice: A flock of geese came from the south, some in pairs and some alone.The paired voices were loud and clear, while the lonely ones fell behind and couldn't fly.Don't look at the couple, just look at the loneliness, think carefully about your desolation, just like me!Think carefully about your desolation, just like me.
The singing is soft and melodious, full of sorrow.
Wen Yi said sadly: "That's a little song her father sang to me. This child has listened to these songs in my arms since she was a child. She has heard them so much that she even remembered them."
Yuan Chengzhi said: "Senior Xia thought he had found the treasure at that time?"
Wen Yi said: "He said he hasn't found it yet, but he has a clue. He is thinking about me in his heart, and he doesn't want to waste time for the treasure. I didn't pay attention to what he said about the treasure. We discussed the first Early the next morning, he sneaked away, very happy in his heart, without any precautions, unexpectedly wanted to speak but was overheard.
"The next day, before dawn, I packed up my clothes and left a letter for my father. I was about to leave when someone knocked on the door. Of course I was very scared. He said it didn't matter, even thousands of troops could kill him." Go out. He picked up the Golden Snake Sword, opened the door, and it was my father, uncle, and second uncle who came in. They were all empty-handed, without weapons, and wearing long robes. Hostility. We were very surprised to see the appearance of the three of them.
"Daddy said: 'I know all about you, and this is also the sin of the previous life. You didn't kill me last time, and I also appreciate your kindness. We will get married in the future, and we can't use swords or guns again.' He thought his father was afraid that he would kill someone again, so he said, "Don't worry, I promised your miss long ago that I would not harm your family anymore!" Dad said, "It's not okay to go privately, you have to get a good matchmaker to marry, and pay homage to the court." He shook his head in disbelief. My dad said: "Ayi is my only daughter, I can't let her elope with someone, and she won't be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life." when."
Yuan Chengzhi said: "Your father lied to him, isn't he sincere?"
Wen Yi nodded, and said: "Daddy will leave him to rest in the wing room and start a wedding. He still can't believe that he will give the dog the food, wine and tea that my family gave him first. The dog is fine after eating a little, but He was still worried, he didn't touch his lips, he took it out at night, and went shopping for food in Jingyan Town by himself.
"One night, my mother brought a bowl of lotus seed soup and said to me: "You can give it to my uncle!" He picked it up, liked it so much that he didn't have any precautions, and ate a few mouthfuls. While talking to me, his face suddenly changed, and he stood up and shouted: "Ayi, you are so cruel!" I panicked, and asked: "What? ’ He said, ‘Why did you poison me?’”
"Why did you poison me?" These words, although spoken in Wen Yi's soft voice, were still full of horror. I imagined how angry and sad Lord Golden Snake was at that time.Yuan Chengzhi and Qingqing couldn't help feeling horrified when they heard this.温仪的眼泪一滴滴落在衣襟之上，再也说不下去。
寂静之中，忽听得亭外磔磔怪笑。三人急忙回头，只见温氏五兄弟并肩走近，后面跟着二三十人，手中都拿着兵刃。
温方山喝道：“阿仪，你把自己的丑事说给外人听，还要脸吗？”
温仪涨红了脸，要待回答，随即忍住，转头对袁承志道：“十九年来，我没跟爹爹说过一句话，以后我也永不会和他说话。我本来早不该再住在温家，可是我有了青青，又能去哪里？再说，我总盼望他没有死，有一天会再来找我。我若是离开了这里，他又怎找得到我？他既已死了，我也没什么顾忌了。我不怕他们，你怕不怕？”
袁承志还没答话，青青已抢着道：“承志大哥不会怕的。”
温仪道：“好，我就说下去。”提高了声音，继续说道：“我急得哭了出来，不知道要怎样说、怎样做才好。突然之间，房门被人踢飞，许多人手执了刀枪涌了进来。”她向亭外一指，说道：“当时站在房门外的，就是这些人。他们……他们手里都拿着暗器。爹爹总算对我还有几分父女之情，叫道：'阿仪，出来！'我知道他们要等我出去之后，立刻向他发射暗器。房间只是这么一点地方，他往哪里躲去？我叫道：'我不出来，你们连我一起杀了吧！'我挡在他身前，心中只有一个念头，要给他挡箭，不让他给人伤害。
“他本来眉头深锁，坐在椅上，以为我和家里的人串通了下毒害他，十分伤心难受，也不想动手反抗。听我这么说，突然跳了起来，很开心地道：'你不知莲子羹里有毒？'我端起碗来，见碗里还剩了些儿羹汁，一口喝下，说道：'我跟你一起死！'他挥掌把碗打落，但我已经喝了。他笑道：'好，大家一起死！'转头向他们骂道：'使这种卑鄙阴毒的手段，你们也不怕丑吗？'
“大伯伯怒道：'谁使毒了？下毒的不是英雄好汉。你自恃本领高，就出来斗斗！'他说：'好！'就出去和他们五兄弟打了起来。他喝的莲子羹里虽没毒药，但放着他们温家秘制的'醉仙蜜'，只要喝了，慢慢会全身无力，昏睡如死，要过一日一夜才能醒来。这些人哪，还舍不得用毒药害死他，想把他迷倒，再慢慢来折磨他。他们……他们当真是英雄好汉！”说到这里，语气中充满怨毒，只是她生性温柔，不会以恶语骂人。
温方施在亭子外大声怒道：“这无耻贱人，早就该杀了，养她到今日，反而恩将仇报！”青青道：“我娘儿俩在温家吃了十几年饭，可是四爷爷，我这两年来，给你们找了多少金银财宝？就是一百个人，一辈子也吃不完吧。我娘儿俩欠你们温家的债，早还清啦！”温方达不愿在外人之前多提家门丑事，叫道：“喂，姓袁的，你敢不敢跟我们五兄弟一起斗斗？”
袁承志前两日念在他们是青青的长辈，对之礼数周到，这时听温仪说了他们的阴险毒辣，不觉满怀愤怒，叫道：“哼，别说五人，你们就是有十兄弟齐上，我又何惧？”
温仪冷笑道：“那天晚上，他们也是五兄弟打他一人。本来他能抵敌得住的，但他喝了'醉仙蜜'之后，越打越手足酸软。他们五兄弟有个练好了的'五行阵'，打起架来，五兄弟就如是一个人……”承志听到“五行阵”三字，陡然想起《金蛇秘笈》中详述五行阵及其破法的记载，恍然大悟：“原来如此！”温方山喝道：“阿仪，你吃里扒外，泄温家的底！”
温仪不理父亲的话，对袁承志道：“他急着想击倒五人中的一人，就可破了这五行阵，但他摇摇晃晃的越来越不行。我叫道：'你快走吧，我永不负你！'”她这一声叫唤声音凄厉，似乎就和那天晚上叫的一样。青青吓怕了，连叫：“妈妈！”承志说道：“伯母回房休息吧，我和令尊他们谈一谈，明儿再来瞧你。”
温仪拉住他衣袖，叫道：“不，不，我在心中憋了十九年啦，今儿非说出来不可。袁相公，你听我说呀！”袁承志听她话中带着哭声，点头道：“我在这里听着。”
温仪仍然是紧紧扯住他衣袖不放，说道：“他们要他的命，可是更加要紧的，他们想发财。他再打一阵，身上受了伤，支持不住，跌在地下，终于……终于给他们擒住了。我扑到他身上，也不知是哪一位叔伯将我一脚踢开。他们逼着他交出藏宝的地图来。他说：'那图不在我身上，谁有种就跟我去拿。'他们细搜他身上，果然没图。这样就为难啦，放了他吧，等药性一过，没人再制得住他。杀了他吧，那大宝藏可永远得不到手。最后还是我爹爹主意高明，哈哈，好聪明，不是吗？那时候他已经昏了过去，我也晕倒了。等我醒来，他们已经把他的脚筋和手筋都割断了，叫他空有一身武功，永远不能再使劲，然后逼着他去取图寻宝。真聪明，是不是？哈哈，哈哈！”承志见她眼光散乱，呼吸急促，已有些神智失常。劝道：“伯母，你还是回房去歇歇。”
温仪道：“不，等你一走，他们就要把我杀死了，我要说完了才能死……他们押着他走了。还有崆峒派的两名好手同去。大家都想发这笔横财。但不知怎样，还是给他逃脱了。多半是他给了他们一张图，他们一快活，防备就疏了。他们很聪明，我那郎君可也不蠢哪。他们七个人拿到这张藏宝图，你抢我夺，五兄弟合谋，先把崆峒派的俩人害死了。”
温方义厉声骂道：“阿仪，你再胡说八道，可小心着！”
温仪笑道：“我干吗小心？你以为我还怕死吗？”转头对袁承志道：“哪知道这张图却是假的。他们五人在南京钻来钻去搞了大半年，花了几千两银子本钱，一个小钱也没找到，哈哈，真是再有趣也没有啦。”
温氏兄弟空自在亭外横眉怒目，却畏惧袁承志，不敢冲进亭来。
温仪说到这里，呆呆地出神，低声缓缓地道：“他这一去，我就没再得到他的音讯。他手脚上的筋都断了，已成废人。他是这样的心高气傲，不痛死也会气死……”
温方达又叫：“姓袁的，这小贱人说起我们温氏的五行阵，你已听到了，有种的就出来试试。”温仪低声道：“你走吧，别跟他们斗。”轻轻叹了口气，说道：“金蛇郎君所遭冤屈，终于是有人知道了。”
袁承志曾和温氏五兄弟一一较量过。知道单打独斗，没一个是自己对手，不过他们五人齐上，再加上有个操练纯熟的五行阵，只怕当真难斗。五行阵的阵法与破法，自习了《金蛇秘笈》后，早已了然于胸，无所畏惧。但他五老是青青的尊长，以金蛇郎君所传之法对付，下手过于狠毒，非己所愿，一时颇为踌躇。
温方义叫道：“怎么，不敢吗？乖乖地跟爷爷们叩三个响头，就放你出去。”温方施阴森森地道：“这时候叩头也不成啦。”
袁承志寻思：“须得静下来好好想一想，筹思善策。”他初出茅庐，阅历甚浅，不似江湖上的老手，一遇难题，对策立生。于是朗声道：“温氏五行阵既然厉害无比，晚辈倒也想见识见识。不过我现下甚是疲累，让我休息一个时辰，成吗？”
温方义随口道：“一个时辰就一个时辰，你再挨上十天半月也逃不了。”温方山低声道：“这小子别使什么诡计，咱们马上给他干。”温方达道：“二弟已答应了他，就让他多活一个时辰，也叫他死而无怨。”
温仪急道：“袁相公，你别上当，他们行事向来狠辣，哪有这么好心，肯让你多休息一个时辰？这些年来，他们念念不忘的就是那个宝藏。他们要想法子害你，要挑断你的手筋脚筋，逼你去帮着寻宝。你快和青青一起走吧，走得越远越好。”
温方达听她说穿了自己用心，脸色更加铁青，冷笑道：“你们三个还想走得越远越好？哼，念头倒转得挺美。姓袁的，你到练武厅上休息去吧。待会儿动手，大家方便些。”
袁承志道：“好吧！”站起身来。料想若不用强，无法取金脱身。温仪母女知道五行阵的厉害，心中焦急，但也没法阻拦，只得跟在他身后，一齐出亭。
到了练武厅中，温方达命人点起数十支巨烛，说道：“蜡烛点到尽处，你总养足精神了吧？”袁承志点点头，在中间一张椅上坐下。温氏五老各自拿起椅子，排成一个圆圈，将他围在中间，五人闭目静坐。在五人之外，温南扬、温正等棋仙派中十六名好手，又分坐十六张矮凳，围成个大圈。
袁承志见这十六人按着八卦方位而坐，乃是作为五行阵的辅佐，心想：“五行阵外又有八卦阵，要破此阵，更是难上加难了。”他端坐椅上，细思师门所授各项武功，反复思考，总觉在这二十一名好手的围攻之下，最多只能自保，要想破阵脱身，只怕难行，时刻一长，精神力气势必不济，终须落败。就算以木桑道长所传轻功逃出阵去，那批黄金又怎能夺回？留下温仪母女，她二人难免杀身之祸，那可如何是好？除了以《金蛇秘笈》中所传秘法破阵之外，更无他法。
当时照本研习，除觉手法太过狠毒之外，又始终不明白武功何以要搞得如此繁复，有许多招数显然颇为蛇足。接战之际，敌人武功再高，人数再多，也决不能从四面八方同时进攻，不露丝毫空隙，而这套武功明明是为了应付多方同时进攻而创。此刻身处困境，终于省悟，原来金蛇郎君当日误中奸计，手足俱损，脱逃之后，殚竭心智，创出这套武功来，却是专为破这五行阵而用。他当然是想来静岩报仇，可惜手脚筋脉均遭割断，使不出劲，所以细细计谋，在秘笈中留下招术，自是为了今日泄愤而设。袁承志心下盘算：自己无意中学到了这套武功，既可脱今日之难，又能为这位没见过面的恩师一泄当日的怨毒，他在九泉之下，若是有知，也必欣慰，不枉了当年这番苦心。想到这里，心中大喜，睁开眼来，只见桌上蜡烛已点剩不到一寸。
温氏五老见他脸上忽忧忽喜，不知他在打什么主意。但自恃五行八卦阵威力无穷，也不在意。只是圆睁着十只眼睛，严加防备，怕他乘隙脱逃。
袁承志重又闭眼，将秘笈中所载破阵武功从头至尾细想一遍，想到最后摧敌制胜的那一路“快刀斩乱麻”时，陡然心惊，全身登时冷汗直冒，暗叫：“不好了！”心想：“最后破阵之道，是在自己招数中露出破绽，引得对手来攻，便可寻暇抵隙，乘虚而入，但必须手有宝刀宝剑护住自身破绽，才不致在敌招来时命丧敌手。金蛇郎君的设想，全从他的金蛇剑着手。但此刻我手头却无金蛇剑，这一时三刻之间，却到哪里找宝刀宝剑去？”
青青在旁边一直注视着他，蓦地里见他脸上大显惶急，额头见汗，心想还未交锋，已自心怯气馁，如何得了？不由得代他担忧。
承志见蜡烛已快烧到尽头，烛焰吞吐颤动，将灭未灭，但破阵之法，仍未想出，更是忧急。就在这时，一名丫环捧了一碗茶走到跟前，说道：“相公请用碗糖茶！”他早已口渴，正自全神贯注地苦思如何在顷刻间寻把宝剑使用，有茶可饮，恰合心意，随手接过茶碗，放到唇边张口要喝，突然手上一震，茶杯给一支袖箭打落，当啷一声响，在地下跌得粉碎。承志一晃眼间，见青青右手向后急缩，知道这箭是她所发，心中一惊：“好险！我怎地如此糊涂，竟没想到他们又会给我喝什么醉仙蜜。”
温方悟见诡计为青青揭破，怒不可遏，破口大骂：“这样的娘，就生这样的女儿！温家祖宗不积德，尽出些向着外人的贱货！”
青青嘴头毫不让人，说道：“温家祖宗积好大的德呀，修桥铺路，救济穷人，什么好事都干。就是不偷不抢，不杀人放火，决不奸淫掳掠。”
温方悟大怒，跳起来就要打人。温方达道：“五弟，沉住气，留神这小子。”
原来袁承志这时又是满脸喜色，青青这支袖箭触动了他灵机：“用暗器！”只见烛火晃动，已有两支蜡烛熄了，当下站起身来，说道：“好啦，请赐教吧！这次分了胜负之后怎样？”温方达道：“你胜了，金子由你带去。你胜不了，那也不必多说。”
袁承志知道自己倘若落败，当然性命不保，但如得胜，只怕他们还要抵赖，说道：“你们把金子拿出来，我破阵之后，拿了就走。”
温氏五老见他死到临头，还要嘴硬，心想以金蛇郎君如此高手，尚且为温氏五行阵所擒，现下经过十多年潜心钻研，又创了一个八卦阵来作辅佐，你如何能够脱逃？这阵势他们平素练得纯熟异常，对付三四十名好手尚自绰绰有余，实是棋仙派镇派之宝，向来不肯轻用，以免让人窥知虚实。这次实因袁承志武功太强，五兄弟个个身怀绝艺，却均给他三招两式之间便打得一败涂地。五人一商议，只得拿出这门看家本领来，也顾不得让他说以众欺寡。温方达吩咐家丁换上蜡烛，对青青道：“把金子拿出来。”
青青早在后悔，心想早知如此，把黄金都还给他也就算了。这时想再私下给他，也已来不及了，只得把一大包金条都捧到练武厅中，放在桌上。想到他在这危急当口，仍不忘为安小慧夺还黄金，却不禁气苦。
温方达左手在桌上横扫过去，金包打开，啪啪啪一声响，数十块金条散满了一地，灿然生光，冷笑道：“温家虽穷，这几千两金子还没瞧在眼里。姓袁的，你有本事破了我们这五行阵，尽管取去！”五老齐声呼喝，各执兵刃，将袁承志团团围住。
袁承志突然心中一凛：“他们连屋上也布了人，这阵法可又如何破解？”却听得温方施道：“屋上有人！”大声喝道：“什么人？都给我滚下来！”
只听得屋顶上有人哈哈大笑，叫道：“温家五位老爷子，姓荣的登门请罪来啦！”呼喝声中，屋上跃下二十多人。当先一人正是游龙帮帮主荣彩。
袁承志登时大为宽怀，向青青望了一眼，见她脸色微变，咬住下唇。
温方达道：“老荣，你三更半夜光临舍下，有什么指教？啊，方岩的吕七先生也来了。”说着向荣彩身后一个老头子拱了拱手。那老者拱手还礼，说道：“总算老兄弟们个个清健，这可有好几年不见了哪！”
荣彩笑道：“五位老爷子好福气，生得一位武功既高、计谋又强的孙小姐，不但把我们的沙老大和十多个兄弟伤了，连我小老儿也吃了她亏。”
温氏兄弟不知青青跟他们这层过节。平时棋仙派与游龙帮颇有来往，这时强敌当前，不愿再旁生枝节。温方达道：“老荣，我家小孩儿有什么对不起你的，我们决不护短，杀人偿命，欠债还钱，好不好呀？”
荣彩一愣，心想：“这个素来蛮横狂傲的老头今日竟这么好说话？难道他当真怕了吕七先生？”一瞥之间见到了袁承志，更是不解：“他们有这样的一个硬手在此，吕七先生也未必能胜他。我还是见好收篷吧！”便道：“游龙帮跟贵派素来没过节，冲着各位老爷子的金面，沙老大已死不能复生，总怨他学艺不精。不过这批金子……”眼光向着地下一块块的金条一扫，说道：“我们游龙帮跟了几百里路程，费了不少心血，又有人为此送命，大家在江湖上混饭吃……”
温方达听他说到这里，便住口不往下说了，知他意在钱财，便道：“黄金都在这里，你要嘛，都拿去那也不妨。”
荣彩听他说得慷慨大方，只道是反语讥刺，但瞧他脸色，却似并无恶意，道：“温老爷子如肯赐给半数，作为敝帮几名死伤兄弟的抚恤，兄弟感激不尽。”温方山道：“你拿吧。”荣彩双手一拱，说道：“那么多谢了！”手一摆，他身后几名大汉俯身去拾金条。
那几人手指刚要碰到金条，突然肩头给人一推，只觉一股极大的力量涌来，站立不定，身不由己地倒退数步，抬起头来，见袁承志已站在面前。
袁承志道：“荣老爷子，这批金子是闯王的军饷，你要拿去，可不大稳便。”
闯王的名头在北方固然威声远震，但在江南，江湖人物却不大理会。荣彩转头对吕七先生笑道：“他拿闯王的名头来吓唬咱们。”吕七先生手中拿着一根粗大异常的旱烟筒，吸一口，喷一口烟，慢条斯理，侧目向袁承志打量。
袁承志见他神情无礼，心头有气，只是他一副气派模样显是武林中的成名人物，倒也不敢轻慢，作了一揖，说道：“前辈可是姓吕？晚辈初来江南，恕我不识。”
吕七先生吐了口烟，笔直向袁承志脸上喷去，又吸一口，跟着两道白蛇般的浓烟从鼻孔中射出，凝聚了片刻不散。袁承志还不怎的，青青瞧着却已气往上冲，便想开口说话。温仪在她臂上轻轻一捏。青青回过头来，见母亲缓缓摇头，才把一句骂人的话忍住了。只见吕七先生将旱烟袋在砖地上笃笃笃地敲了一阵，敲去烟灰，又装上烟丝。
这时连温氏五老也有点耐不住了，但知他在武林中成名已久，据说当年以一套鹤形拳打败过无数高手，手中的烟袋更是一件奇形兵器，擅能打穴，夺人兵刃，可是到底本领如何，却谁也没见过。温氏五老都盼他与袁承志说僵了动手，他能取胜固然最好，否则至少也可消去袁承志些力气。
只见吕先生从怀中摸出火石火纸，扑扑扑地敲击，烟丝还未点着，忽然屋顶上有人大喝：“快还我们金子！”一个少女、一个粗壮少年双双跃下，随后又溜下一个五十余岁的中年汉子，瞧打扮似是个生意人，左手拿着一个算盘，右手拿着一支笔，模样甚是古怪。他慢吞吞地从墙上溜下，也瞧不出他武功高低。
袁承志见那少女正是安小慧，又喜又忧，喜的是来了帮手，但不知另外两人武功如何。眼下敌人除了棋仙派外，又多了游龙帮与吕七先生这批人。温仪与青青母女和温氏五老撕破了脸，已处于绝大危险之中，非将她们救走不可，要是新来的两人本领都和安小慧差不多，自己反而要分神照顾，岂不糟糕？
这时温氏弟子中已有人抢上去拦阻喝问。那少年大声叫道：“快把我们的金子还来！”见金条散在地下，说道：“啊哈，原来都在这里！”俯身就拾。袁承志眉头微皱，心想这人行事甚为鲁莽，只怕功夫高得有限。
温南扬见他俯身，飞足往他臀上踢去。安小慧急叫：“崔师哥当心！”那少年侧身避开，随即抢攻而前，双掌疾劈过去。温南扬不及退让，也伸出双掌相抵，啪的一声大响，四掌相交，两人各自退开数步。那少年又待上前，那商贾打扮的人叫道：“希敏，慢着。”
袁承志记起安小慧的话，说有一个姓崔的师哥和她一起护送这笔金子，因两人闹了别扭，中途分手，至被青青出其不意地劫了去，料想这少年便是崔秋山的侄儿崔希敏了，难道这个形貌滑稽的生意人，竟是大师哥铜笔铁算盘黄真？仔细一看，见他右手中那支笔杆闪闪发光，果是黄铜铸成，左手中那算盘黑黝黝的，多半是铁的。这一下喜出望外，忙纵身过去，跪下叩头，说道：“小弟袁承志叩见大师哥。”
那人正是黄真，双手扶起，细细打量，欢然说道：“啊，师弟，你这么年轻，真想不到在这里见到你。”袁承志道：“请问大师哥，恩师现今在哪里？他老人家身子安健？”黄真道：“恩师此刻在南京，他老人家很好。”
安小慧过来说道：“承志大哥，这就是我说的崔师哥。”袁承志向他点点头。安小慧见承志背上粘了些枯草，伸手拈了下来。袁承志微微一笑，神色表示谢意。
崔希敏瞧着很不乐意。黄真喝道：“希敏，怎么这样没规矩？快向师叔叩头！”崔希敏见袁承志比自己还小着几岁，心头不服气，慢吞吞地过来，作势要跪。袁承志连说：“不敢当！”双手拦住。崔希敏也就不跪下去了，作了一揖，叫了声：“小师叔！”黄真又骂：“什么小师叔大师叔，就算你大过他，师叔总是长辈。我比你老，你又怎不叫我老师父？”袁承志向崔希敏笑道：“你叔叔可好，我惦记他得紧。”崔希敏道：“我叔叔好。”
吕七先生见他们师兄弟、师叔侄见礼叙话，闹个不完，将旁人视若无物，这时却轮到他耐不住了。怪目一翻，抬头望着屋顶，说道：“来的都是些什么人？”这一出声，众人都吓了一跳。他说话声若怪枭，甚是刺耳，沙嘎中夹杂着尖锐之音，难听异常。
崔希敏踏上一步，说道：“这些金子是我们的，给你们偷了来，现今师父带我们来拿回去。”吕七先生仍是眼望屋顶，口喷白烟。忽然嘿嘿冷笑两声。
崔希敏见他老气横秋、一副全不把人瞧在眼
