Chapter 8 The seventh round of the secret book of breaking the formation
Everyone in the Qixian School has seen Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts, but they are not very good.Members of the Youlong Gang have always regarded Mr. Lu Qi as a god, but when they saw a young boy casually beating him up and leaving him, they couldn't help being moved.
The most strange of these people is Huang Zhen.He saw that Yuan Chengzhi's poke under Lu Qi's flank was indeed the Huashan School's unique skill "Iron Finger Jue", but his agility of walking around the opponent and grabbing the gold bar was completely different from what he was used to.Except for the move of snatching the pipe with the backhand, the rest of these small and delicate moves are full of mystery. They are definitely not the martial arts of the Huashan School known for their simplicity and eccentricity. I taught this to my junior brother, but I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I flicked the iron abacus and said: "Just now the old man said that as long as three gold bars are moved, all the gold will be returned, brother thank you here." He said to Cui Ximin, "Pick them up."
Cui Ximin leaned over to pick up the gold bars again.Seeing that many of Huang Chengcheng's gold bars were about to fall into the hands of others, Rongcai was very anxious. He knew that with a master like Yuan Chengzhi by his side, he would never be able to get it right with his own skills, but the rules in the world "seekers have a share" , The Youlong Gang lost their lives for this batch of gold, and traveled for many days. Even if they got less than half of the points, they still got 30% of the points. More or less they had to bring a few gold bars home. The left arm pushed across his arms.Cui Ximin withdrew a few steps and said angrily, "What? You also want to see the winners and losers, don't you?"
Huang Zhen saw Rongcai's body skills and knew that his disciple was not his opponent, so he shouted: "Xi Min, stand down!" He rushed up and clasped his fists and laughed, "Gong Xi Fa Cai! What is the name of the shopkeeper? What kind of business does the big boss always do? It must be because the business is booming all over the world, and the wealth is luxuriant in the three rivers." He was born as a merchant, with a funny nature, and he would tell nondescript business stories when facing the enemy.Rongcai said angrily: "Who are you kidding? My surname is Rong and Cai, and I am the head of the Youlong Gang. Wan'er, who has not yet consulted your Excellency." Huang, the lottery is very good. The cursive name is a real character, whichever means the real price and the real thing. For a tael of silver, the trumpet will never dare to ask for one tael and one penny. It is really suitable for all ages, children. The old man is not deceiving. If the big boss has any business, please help him."
Rongcai listened to him talking endlessly, and the more he listened, the angrier he became. Huang Zhen, the head disciple of the Huashan School, is well-known in the north, but few people know him in the south of the Yangtze River. Bring the guy." The brothers of the Youlong Gang immediately handed over a big gun.Before Rongcai received the gun and sent it off, a big spear shot out head-on with a strong wind.Huang Zhen stepped on the seven-star step backwards, pulled himself up suddenly, jumped away to the left, and shouted: "Ah, we are in business, and gold must not be abandoned." Putting the abacus and copper pen into his arms, he bent over to pick them up. bullion.
The five Wen brothers knew that he was a formidable opponent when they saw his physical skills, and saw him talking to Yuan Chengzhi just now.Wen Fangyi and Wen Fangwu rushed forward at the same time, shouting: "It's not so easy to get gold." Huang Zhen saw that the two men were approaching fiercely, so he leaned to the right to avoid it, and with his left hand "respecting virtue and hanging the whip", he shouted , cut down diagonally.Wen Fangyi and Fang Wu followed the five-element formation as soon as they made a move, and when they made a move, they had already retreated.Brothers Wen Fangda and Wen Fangshan rushed forward.Wen Fangshan raised his right hand to block Huang Zhen's move, and Wen Fangshi's left fist hit him in the back.
Although Huang Zhen speaks humorously, he is cautious in doing things. In addition to his strong martial arts, he has fought against others all his life, and he seldom loses. At this moment, he suddenly fell into the five-element formation. Blocking my attack, the five people rushed up like dozens of people, and they couldn't help being shocked.I thought to myself what kind of formation this is, why it is so complicated and fast, so I hold my Yuan and defend one, and do not dare to attack.
Seeing Huang Zhen surrounded, Rongcai tried his best to fight back but was unable to fight back, she was overjoyed, she thought there was something to be gained, and used the Yang family's marksmanship to stab Huang Zhen in the back of the heart.
Xiaohui was taken aback, and shouted: "Uncle Huang, be careful." Huang Zhen is Mu Renqing's great disciple who founded the mountain, and his martial arts are deeply taught by the Huashan School. If the five Wen brothers have not practiced this unique formation, or all five of them will come together, Nor is he an opponent.What a mere honor, how can I do nothing to him?Hearing the wind of the iron gun behind him, Huang Zhen fished it back and grabbed the tip of the gun. This technique of entering the sword with empty hands was exactly the same as Yuan Chengzhi's grabbing of Lu Qi's pipe just now.It's just that Huang Zhen, with decades of skill, was more swift and powerful, and pulled Rongcai past him. At the same time, he "opened the monument with one palm" with his left palm, slapped Wen Fangshan's punch away, and took half a step with his right leg to let go. Wen Fangyi kicked up from behind.
There was only a sound of "ah yo", the big gun flew up, and Rong Cai flew out from the heads of the six people and fell to the ground.The brothers of the Youlong Gang rushed to help him up.Seeing the leader's mistake, the vice-leader of the Youlong Gang and Rongcai's first and second disciples rushed in together. Without counting tricks, the three of them were thrown out one after another by Huang Zhen with the strength of the five elders.The deputy gang leader even broke his right arm and was seriously injured.In this way, no one from the Youlong Gang would dare to join the battle group.
Huang Zhen shouted: "Big Boss, Second Boss, everyone has a share, and everyone has a share. If you fall, you will never fail!"
He fought hard against the five elders of the Wen family, and when he reached the sound, he saw six figures flying back and forth, sometimes Huang Zhen protruded and surrounded them, but the five followed him like a shadow, and immediately wrapped them up.Huang Zhenxin was secretly anxious, and shouted: "The capital is small and the profit is big, and the turnover is not good. Boss Huang is doing five deals by himself, but he is a bit too busy!" The guy who looks like an old man actually guards the door so tightly.
Huang Zhen saw that the opponent was fighting more and more anxiously, and the five of them turned around like butterflies wearing flowers.Sometimes a person is about to kick, but he suddenly moves aside, and a person behind him suddenly punches him; sometimes a person folds his arms, intending to fight, and he backs away, but the back of his heart is just kicked by a foot, and the timing is not perfect. .Seeing the endless changes of the enemy's moves, Huang Zhen suddenly encountered a dangerous situation and relied on his pure martial arts to avoid it. With a long roar, he took out a copper pen and iron abacus from his bosom, thinking that it would be unfair for the five of you to beat me up one by one. Boss Huang uses the weapon first, which can be regarded as breaking the rules of no deception.At the moment, the offense is the defense, the abacus strikes sideways, the copper pen sweeps across the oblique point, the point of the weapon is all the five elders' key acupoints.
Wen Fangda whistled, and Wen Zheng, Wen Nanyang and others threw their weapons over.The five brothers either held out double halberds, or wielded single swords, or wielded soft whips, or wielded steel staffs. They were both long and short, combining hardness and softness, and occasionally held a few flying knives.This vicious fight was a bit more dangerous than the fight with fists and feet just now. Boss Huang's business is about to suffer a big loss, and he is afraid that he will lose all his money.
Cui Ximin saw that her master was in a critical situation, she knew she was in trouble, but she couldn't help it, so with a tiger roar, she drew out her single saber and charged straight into the five-element formation.Just after taking two steps, he suddenly saw a figure shaking in front of him, and someone raised his palm to press his shoulder.Cui Ximin slashed with a horizontal knife.The man's pressing was extremely fast, and he was already on his shoulder in an instant.Cui Ximin's body was as heavy as ten thousand catties, and he couldn't step out anymore. In shock, he only heard the man say: "Brother Cui, you can't go." Only then did he see that the man was Yuan Chengzhi.Just now Yuan Chengzhi knocked Mr. Lu Qi down, he didn't admire him very much, he thought it was just a fluke, but at this moment when he put his palm lightly on his shoulder, half of his body couldn't exert any strength at all, only then did he realize that his martial arts were better than his own. If it's too high, it's really strange.
Yuan Chengzhi let go of his hand and said, "Your master can still resist for a while, don't worry." Seeing the six people fighting for a while, he suddenly remembered a problem, frowned slightly, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
An Xiaohui walked up to him and said, "Brother Chengzhi, go and help Uncle Huang. Five of them beat him one, how shameless." Yuan Chengzhi was meditating, not wanting to be distracted, and waved her away .Xiaohui got bored, pouted her mouth and walked away.Qingqing saw it in her eyes, and she was secretly happy.
I saw the six fighting faster and faster. Every time Huang Zhen used an iron abacus to lock and grab the opponent's weapon, the five elders would always dodge quickly. He could hear the whistling wind of weapons waving and clothes flying.
Yuan Chengzhi jumped up suddenly, walked up to Xiaohui, and said, "Sister Xiaohui, don't blame me for being rude. I was lost in thought about something just now, and now I can figure it out." Xiaohui suddenly said: "This Hurry up and help Uncle Huang." Cheng Zhi said with a smile, "I'm not afraid after I figure it out." Xiaohui said, "You're a real person, and you don't care about priorities. There's nothing embarrassing about it. Can't you think about it after you finish fighting?" Cheng Zhi said with a smile: "What I'm thinking about is how to break this formation. Have you noticed that the weapons of these five old men have never touched the bronze pen and iron abacus of the elder brother? ?” Xiaohui said, “I also find it strange.”
At this time, Cui Ximin admired Cheng Zhi quite a bit, and asked: "Little Martial Uncle, what's the reason for that?" There will inevitably be gaps to be found. The way to break the formation is to try to disturb the footsteps of the five people, as long as one of the five old men walks wrongly or slows down, the formation will be broken." Cui Ximin shook his head. Said: "They are proficient, and I guarantee that they will not go wrong even if they close their eyes."
Chengzhi nodded and said: "They practiced very well." Turning to Xiaohui, he said, "Please lend me your hairpin." Xiaohui pulled out the jade hairpin from her hair and handed it to him.The jade hairpin was clear and crystal-clear, emitting a faint green light. Cheng Zhi took it and suddenly shouted loudly: "Brother, Wu Tu Sheng Yi Mu, step on the Kun Palace, and go to the threshold."
Huang Zhen was stunned, but he didn't understand yet, but the five elders of the Wen family were secretly surprised: "Why did this kid see the secret of our five-element formation?" bit!"
Huang Zhen fought for a long time, no matter how powerful the attack was, he still couldn't get out of the encirclement of the five elders. He had already thought that since this formation is called the five-element formation, it must contain the principle of the five elements' generation and restraint. , I had no choice but to fight hard, without the slightest spare time to ponder the formation, suddenly heard Chengzhi shout, thought: "It's good to have a try." Immediately walked to Zhengong, left the position, and saw a vacancy.
He dodged and was about to get out, when he suddenly heard Cheng Zhi yelling: "Go to the dry position, go to the dry position!" But Wen Fangshan and Wen Fangshi were clearly blocking the dry position, Huang Zhen knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he didn't have time to think about it. He charged at the two of them fiercely, and just as they got closer, the two of them separated and outflanked from both sides, and Wen Fangda and Wen Fangwu, who filled the gap, hadn't filled in yet. He jumped out and stood beside Cheng Zhi.
Seeing that he had escaped from the five-element formation, which was unprecedented, the five elders of the Wen family couldn't help being shocked, and the five retreated at the same time, forming a line.Wen Fangda said: "You can escape from our five-element formation, and your skills are extraordinary. Are you from the Huashan School? What do you call the old Mu Renqing?"
Huang Zhen's kung fu is pure and pure, unlike Cheng Zhi's mixed martial arts. The five elders only learned about a dozen or so moves with him, and they recognized his sect early on.
Huang Zhen escaped from the siege, and immediately smiled playfully, and said: "Senior Mu is my mentor. Why, has my apprentice disgraced him?" Wen Fangda said: "Sword, Immortal Ape and disciples, of course. Smart." Huang Zhen said: "Don't dare! I'm not afraid of ignorance, I'm just afraid of comparing goods. We have compared goods. The little boss surnamed Huang failed to gain the upper hand over the five big bosses of the Wen family, and neither did you. The residential area is the next one. It’s a fair trade, and it’s half a catty. What about this batch of gold?” Turning to Rongcai, he said, “Boss, your business is doomed. This batch of gold does not have your share.”
Rongcai knew that her kung fu was too far behind others, but seeing the gold all over the ground, she really felt distressed, so she could only say a few words to hide her embarrassment: "Huang, don't be crazy, one day I will let you fall into my hands." Huang Zhen said with a smile: "What business does Baohao have? Even if it is made into a small one, it doesn't matter if you suffer a loss and get cheap. We are regular customers, and the price can be specially negotiated." Rongcai knew that he couldn't beat him, and that Yuan was his brother Even if Mr. Lu Qi leaves in a feather, let alone himself?Immediately, he brought his disciples to help the crowd and left angrily.Before leaving the door, I couldn't help but glanced at the gold all over the floor, and suddenly regretted it: "When the six of them were fighting fiercely just now, why didn't I secretly pick up one or two from the ground, forgive me, and I won't be seen by others. There may not be anyone who is free to stop them." The members of the Youlong Gang are all from Longyou County near Quzhou, and the word "Longyou" is reversed, and they are called the Youlong Gang.Most of the people in Longyou are upright and dignified, but the Youlong gang reversed the two words, and their character is not very well-behaved.
Wen Fangda ignored the comings and goings of the members of the Youlong Gang, and said to Huang Zhen: "Your Excellency's martial arts can be regarded as a hero in the world. How about this, this batch of gold is on your brother's face, and we will return half of it." Shocked by the prestige of Huashan School, he didn't want to make more enemies, and wanted to give up.
Huang Zhen said with a smile: "If this batch of gold belongs to my brother, although the world is not peaceful and it is not easy to make money, but friends really want to use it, it doesn't matter if you take it. You must know that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and profit and loss are businessmen. It’s a common thing. Harmony makes money, business is not benevolent and righteous. But you have to understand, brother, this is King Chuang’s military salary. I, a worthless disciple, was in charge of transporting it, and I picked up half of it for my brother’s men, how can I explain it?”
Wen Fangyi said: "It's not impossible to pay them all back, but we have to do two things." Huang Zhen said: "If there is a price to offer, we can discuss it. You might as well bargain all over the place, and I can pay back the money. Please come up with a price, let's bargain slowly." Wen Fangyi said: "There is no price to talk about. First, you have to exchange gifts for gold, no matter how much the gift is. This is our rule, the property in hand , can never be easily refunded.”
Huang Zhen knew that this sentence was just for the sake of face. It seemed that the other party was willing to return the gold. In this case, there was no need to make more enemies. He immediately put away his hippie smile and said seriously: "Master Wen ordered, brother will follow everything. Tomorrow morning Brother, go to the city of Quzhou, buy a big gift, and then prepare a banquet, invite local friends who are respectable to accompany you, and thank you all."
Wen Fangyi listened to what he was saying, so he snorted and said, "That's all. The second thing is, this kid surnamed Yuan must be left behind for us."
Huang Zhen was taken aback, thinking that since you are willing to return the gold, I have also given you a lot of face, so why bother with side effects?With me here, how can my junior brother allow you to bully me?He didn't know that Yuan Chengzhi had a lot to do with them.Now that he has learned of the secret between Mr. Jin Snake and Wen Yi, the five elders are ready to kill him before he is willing to do so. The most important thing is to fall on him and find Mr. Jin Snake's treasure map.Although the five elders knew that his kung fu was strong, he was confident that the five elements array was infinitely profound and would definitely be able to control him.Huang Zhen smiled and said: "My junior brother eats a lot. It's a good thing for you to keep him, but if you eat it for a year or so, I'm afraid you can't afford it."
Wen Fangda sneered and said: "This brother just pointed you out of the battle, and he must understand the key points. How about inviting him to try?"
It turns out that there are five sets of formations in Wen's five-element formation, just now to deal with Huang Zhen, he only used the Wutu formation, and there are many wonderful changes in moves that have not been used.Wen Fangda thought to himself that just now you were at your wit's end. Although you were lucky enough to escape from the siege, you did not lose a single bit of the formation. You, a junior, were a bystander and saw some clues. Cheng Zhi called out.
Huang Zhen has tasted the taste of this formation, thinking that with my decades of skill, I still can't make it out. He knows the number of five elements and eight trigrams, and the master is not good at it, and he has never taught it. Although he spoke a few times, but obviously he was quietly observing, suddenly saw something, he really wanted to make a move, five enemies came one after another, continuously, how could he deal with it?But he didn't know that Chengzhi had another teacher, and he knew all the changes in this formation.He said: "Your formations are powerful, and I have already learned them. I am a junior brother who is not as old as your grandson, why should the old man make things difficult for him? If you really don't like him, which one of you will come out and teach him a lesson? He is it." These words seem to show weakness, but in fact they are trying to squeeze the five elders, asking them to fight alone, they want to beat Mr. Lu Qi's skills with their juniors, and if they fight one-on-one, they will not lose.
Wen Fangshan sneered and said: "The Huashan faction is quite famous, but when they saw a small five-element formation, they immediately hid their heads and tails in fright. From now on, it's better not to pretend to be famous in the world!"
Cui Ximin was furious, and rushed out from behind Huang Zhen, shouting: "Who said that our Huashan faction is afraid of you?" Wen Fangshan said with a smile: "Are you also from the Huashan faction? Hehe, amazing, amazing! Then you come."
Cui Ximin only said that he said that he was powerful, and he would do it if he went out.Yuan Chengzhi grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Brother Cui, I'll go first. If I fail, you can help me." Cui Ximin nodded and said, "Okay! When you want me to help, call 'Ximin', and I will help you." Just come up, you don't need the politeness of big brother Cui and second brother Cui." Yuan Chengzhi nodded.Xiaohui suddenly burst into a smile beside her.Cui Ximin stared and asked, "What are you laughing at?" Xiaohui smiled and said, "It's nothing, I think it's funny."
Cui Ximin was still waiting to ask, Yuan Chengzhi had already stepped forward, holding the jade hairpin in his hand, and said: "The five-element formation of the Chess Immortal School is so powerful, the junior has never seen it in his life."
Wen Fangyi said: "You are still young, forgive me and have never seen anything, let alone our Five Elements Formation."
Yuan Chengzhi nodded and said: "Exactly, the juniors have little knowledge, and the old men want to keep me. The juniors can't ask for it. I can take this opportunity to ask the old men about the secrets of the Five Elements Formation."
Cui Ximin said anxiously: "Little uncle, how could they keep you out of good intentions? Don't be fooled." Xiaohui laughed again.Yuan Chengzhi said to Cui Ximin: "Their elders will not bully us young people. Don't worry, Brother Cui." Affection."
Everyone saw that his words were weak and timid, but their expressions were indifferent, they didn't know what his intentions were.Huang Zhen was secretly anxious, but it was inconvenient to stop his junior brother, so he only said in his heart: "Oh, this business can't be done."
The five elders of the Wen family tried his skills and did not dare to ignore him. As soon as the five of them made a gesture, Wen Fangyi and Wen Fangshan stepped to the right, Wen Fangshi and Wen Fangwu turned to the left, and the formation spread out, encircling him in just a few steps. In the heart of Gai.
Yuan Chengzhi seemed at a loss, clasped his fists and asked: "Shall we practice now?" Wen Fangda said coldly: "You shine your weapons!"
Yuan Chengzhi stretched out his right palm, held the jade hairpin in his palm, and said: "Everyone is an elder, how dare the juniors dare to use swords and guns rudely? Use this jade hairpin to learn a few tricks from the old men!" Surprised, they felt that this man was really arrogant and bold, even if this hosta could not be stabbed to death by a beetle, it would break if touched, how could it withstand the impact of steel rods, swords and other things in Wu Lao's hands?Wouldn't it be hastening his own death by making such nonsense?Qingqing was anxious in her heart, she just called out secretly: "Then why... Zensheng is good?"
Huang Zhen knew that it was difficult to dissuade him at this time, thinking that this little junior brother must be used to being spoiled by the master. To repay the teacher's kindness, even if I die today, I will not hesitate.Instructed Cui Ximin and Xiaohui in a low voice: "The enemy is too strong, we are outnumbered, and we must lose money. I will order you to leave later, and the two of you will go to the house and rush out immediately. After I break up with Junior Brother Yuan, no matter how dangerous it is, you will never lose money." Don't turn around and shoot, and you don't have to worry about gold." Cui Ximin and Xiaohui agreed.
Huang Zhen thought to himself that he risked his life to defend against the enemy, and saved his junior brother to try to escape, it is not difficult to think about it, as long as Cui An and the two don't become a burden, it will be much easier.Fleeing away today, temporarily endured the humiliation for a while, and in the future, I will invite five masters from Qihua Mountain to attack the Five Elements Formation at the same time, and it will definitely be broken.Only then did the five old men know whether or not the Huashan School had earned its name in vain.The five people he predicted in his mind, besides himself, are the second younger brother Gui Xinshu and his wife, his first disciple "eight-faced majesty" Feng Nandi, and his master Mu Renqing who will personally host them. The entanglement made the five people their own enemies, and they couldn't attack together, the five-element formation was broken immediately. When it comes to fighting alone, the five elders of the Wen family are not their opponents.Huang Zhen had a hippie smile on his face, but he was far-sighted on the inside, he didn't think about victory, he thought about defeat first, he decided on the immediate escape strategy, and planned the way to win in the future.He didn't count Yuan Chengzhi in the selection of the candidates who broke the Five Elements Formation. It is expected that the younger brother's skill is still weak, far inferior to his proud disciple Feng Nandi.
I only heard Yuan Chengzhi say: "Since the old men sincerely teach you, why do you keep a hand so that the younger generation can't learn the whole set?"
Wen Fangda was stunned and said: "What's not a complete set?" Yuan Chengzhi said: "In addition to the Five Elements Formation, everyone also has an auxiliary Eight Diagrams Formation. Why don't you put it out together to open the eyes of the younger generation?" Wen Fangyi shouted: " You said it yourself, but you can die without complaint." Turning to Wen Nanyang, he said, "Come on!"
Wen Nanyang waved his right hand, leading fifteen people out at the same time.Wen Nanyang yelled, and the sixteen people ran around the five elders, turning left and right, and shuttled back and forth.These sixteen people include Wen Nanyang and Wen Zheng, some are nephews of the Wen family, and some are apprentices with other surnames of the Wu Lao.
Seeing such a situation, Huang Zhen was very well-informed, and he couldn't help but be astonished. He said to himself: "Junior Brother Yuan really doesn't do anything, and it creates more problems for himself. Just fighting with the five elders, when I'm really in danger, I can still rush forward." Into the rescue, now there are sixteen people blocking the periphery, all the gaps are filled densely, I am afraid that the birds will not be able to fly in. I am obviously short of capital, but why is the business getting bigger and bigger? The position cannot be adjusted. , don’t you want to go bankrupt?”
Yuan Chengzhi pinched the hosta with the thumb and middle finger of his right hand, raised his left hand lightly, retracted his right foot, and took his left foot as the axis, turning his body suddenly four or five times.As soon as he moved, the five elders of the Wen family immediately pushed forward and watched his movements.Yuan Chengzhi just spun on the spot like a top, without moving.
It turned out that Mr. Jin Snake fought against the five elders that day, was captured by poisoning, and was rescued by others. After he escaped from danger, he hid in the small town under Huashan and thought over the situation of the previous fierce fight. If it is intact, there is no stagnation in the internal force, and it will not be able to break through the five-element formation after all, it's just that it lasts for a while. He deduced the body moves of the five elders one by one, and finally discovered that the key to this formation is that after the enemy enters the siege, no matter how hard they try to dodge, the five elders will be able to counterattack with powerful moves. When one of them makes a move, the other four immediately Stretching upwards, the five elders defend each other with their moves and fill in the gaps. When facing the enemy, the five of them seem to be one and there are no flaws in their moves.There is no flaw in one person's martial arts, how can he break it?Mr. Golden Snake Langjun's body skills and tricks used by the five elders are clearly remembered. After years of hard thinking and anxiety, he has thought of all kinds of weird methods and strategies. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this formation is really indestructible break. Naturally, he had also thought of assassination and poisoning, as long as one of the five elders was killed, the five-element formation would not be a five-element formation.But he is arrogant and arrogant, and he disdains to do such a rogue trick.What's more, his tendons have been severed, all his martial arts are lost, even if he thinks of a way to destroy the formation, the formation cannot be destroyed by his own hands.Since it is said to break the formation, it must be upright and break it with real skills. One morning, when he was strolling in the open area outside the town, he suddenly saw a small green snake walking in the grass. Hearing the sound of people, he immediately curled up into a circle, raised his head, and remained still for a while. The reason why he got the nickname Golden Snake Langjun is because he is slippery, vicious and dangerous, but also because he likes to raise poisonous snakes, and squeeze the venom to make hidden weapons and arrows.Back then, Wen Fanglu's wife was shot by Wen Fanglu's arrow and died immediately, and the arrow was fed with snake venom.He is familiar with the nature of snakes, he knows how to move in circles and hold his head up, he waits for the enemy to attack first, and then sneaks in to counterattack from the enemy's openings, if the enemy doesn't move, snakes rarely attack first.The body of the snake curls up into a ball to hide all the weak points of the body, hold its head high and gather momentum, and wait for the opportunity to attack with the strongest fangs of its body.If rushing out to bite the enemy rashly, the snake has an extremely long body and many weaknesses, so it is inevitable that the enemy will take advantage of it and hit the snake's head seven inches or the snake's belly or tail.This is the nature of snakes to protect themselves.Mr. Jin Snake has seen these actions hundreds of times in the past, and he has never paid attention to them. But at the moment, he is concentrating on the secret of breaking through the Five Elements Formation. The strategy of breaking the five-element array was formulated accordingly, that is: "to strike later". In martial arts, what is emphasized is to control the enemy first, but this "late attack" is completely the opposite.The basic strategy is determined, and the rest of the methods can be easily solved. It doesn't take much effort to figure out all the methods to destroy the five-element formation, and write them down in "Golden Snake Secret Book".He knew that this secret book might not be discovered by anyone, and even if someone did, it might be thousands of years later, when the bones of the five elders of the Wen family would have already turned into dust.It's just that he couldn't hold any resentment in his heart, and he thought that the Five Elements Formation would always be passed down, if no one can break it, wouldn't it be that the Immortal Chess School will dominate the world?In his heart, since the method of breaking the formation has been figured out, the Five Elements Formation has been broken.It would be great if he could really destroy the Five Elements Formation with this method, but it was extremely uncertain after all, he never wanted to accept an apprentice to fulfill his wish.
Yuan Chengzhi now adheres to the strategy of "restraining people later", and after a few circles, he has driven all the five-element formation and the eight-diagram formation. Although the gossip formation was created by the five elders and was not mentioned in the "Golden Snake Secret Book", the fundamental gist is exactly the same as the five-element formation.Yuan Chengzhi only watched the sixteen people make a few circles, and he knew it clearly, and thought: "If the enemy can't break the five-element formation, why add another eight-diagram formation? If the five-element formation is broken, the eight-diagram formation will be in vain. The talents and insights of the five elders of the Wen family are indeed far behind those of Mr. Jin Snake. It seems that this five-element formation was also passed down from the previous generation. Forgive the five elders themselves. If you knew that the five elders of the Wen family would do such a superfluous act in the future, you would have saved a lot of painstaking planning. To break the five-element formation, the key is to find the loopholes in the formation. If there is no flaw, you must let it grow to form The disciples of the Eight Diagrams Formation are poor in skill, and it is much easier to find a flaw in it." The five elders wanted to wait for him to make a move, and then took advantage of the momentum to pounce on him, but saw that his body turned more and more slowly, with no intention of attacking, and finally sat down on the ground, with his hands on his knees, and a smile on his face.The five elders were horrified, and everyone watching was puzzled, wondering why he was so naughty in front of the enemy.As everyone knows, Yuan Chengzhi did not underestimate the enemy, but deliberately used a jade hairpin with no lethal power as a weapon, so that the opponent would not be on guard. In addition, he sat down on the ground, which was not a forward attack. It seemed that he completely underestimated the opponent. , Difficult to calm down, in addition to being impulsive, when he sees an opportunity to take advantage of, he loses caution, and if he deliberately reveals his flaws, the opponent shouldn't attack, but he can't help but want to attack, and once he attacks, he will expose his own flaws.Yuan Chengzhi's role at this time is not only to lure the enemy, but also to slow down the army. It seems to be reckless and underestimate the enemy, but in fact it is to lure the opponent to recklessly underestimate the enemy. Seeing him sitting down, Wen Fangyi really couldn't bear it anymore, he spread his palms wrongly, and wanted to hit him on the back.Wen Fangwu hurriedly said: "Second brother, don't mess up the formation!" Wen Fangyi held back.The five elders accelerated under their feet and continued to change formations, only waiting for him to make a move, and immediately embraced him.It should be noted that no matter whether there is a large army confronting each other or two people fighting each other, if the attacker concentrates all his strength on attacking the opponent, there must be a large number of weaknesses on his side that he will not defend.In the Five Elements Formation, one person is used to attract the opponent's attack and reveal his own weakness, while the other four attack the enemy's weakness. This is the principle of the so-called mutual generation and mutual restraint.Now that Yuan Chengzhi doesn't move at all, that means he is fully prepared, and the five elders can't do anything for a while. After a while, Yuan Chengzhi yawned suddenly, lying on the ground, with his hands folded under his head as a pillow, looking very casual and comfortable.The sixteen disciples outside the Eight Diagrams Formation wandered around for a long time, running faster and faster, and those with slightly weaker skills were sweating on the forehead and slightly panting.The five elders are really patient, and still don't make a move. Yuan Chengzhi thought to himself: "Thank you old guys for being able to bear this breath." Suddenly turned over, turned his back up, buried his face in his hands, and started snoring.Since fighting in martial arts, since the ages, there has never been such a posture, lying down with the back of the heart up, is it not at the mercy of others? Cui Ximin, Xiaohui, Qingqing, Wen Yi and others were funny and worried on his behalf.Seeing him sitting down and lying down first, Huang Zhen realized his strategy against the enemy. He couldn't help admiring his intelligence and boldness. Now seeing him turning over and lying down unscrupulously, he secretly screamed that it was not good. He felt that the price reduction was too much. If the five elders were to attack him from behind, how would they dodge it?To solicit business, you might as well talk sweetly and brag about yourself. The king's wife sells melons, and everything is sweet. You can make false statements and exaggerate, but you can't use bitter tricks. Seeing a good opportunity, Wen Fangda was overjoyed, swung his left hand sharply to the right, and pressed down fiercely. Wen Fangshi's four throwing knives were as fast as lightning, and they had pierced Yuan Chengzhi's vest.This attack was fast and accurate. Amidst the exclamation of the audience, four shining flying knives slashed at Yuan Chengzhi's vest at the same time. Yuan Chengzhi heard the direction of the flying knives, turned over and grabbed the four handles with both hands. The throwing knives were thrown vigorously into the gossip formation. Wen Nanyang and three second-generation disciples of the Wen family were hit with knives in their arms and legs. Amidst the loud shouts, Yuan Chengzhi had already mentioned one by one and threw them into the five elements formation. When the five elders were stunned, their footwork slowed down a little, and they saw Yuan Chengzhi rushing out of the gap, but saw the sixteen disciples outside the formation like thirsty horses rushing to the spring, jackdaws rushed to the water, and threw them towards the center of the five-element formation.Yuan Chengzhi punches here and kicks there. Every move is a heavy hand. The disciples either restrain him, grab it and throw it in, or let him swing into the formation with his palm.Wen Zheng and the others had relatively deep skills, and they used their fists to resist, and they also used three moves and two moves. They were knocked down immediately, and fell into the five-element formation involuntarily. As a result, the five elements and eight trigrams formation suddenly became chaotic.There are no enemies in the formation, and all the people who come and go are our own people.Everyone never expected that when Yuan Chengzhi was lying on the ground, he would be able to stand out with surprise soldiers, which caused the flaws in the Five Elements Formation and the Eight Diagrams Formation to be revealed. The five elders of the Wen family screamed strangely and frantically caught the disciples who flew into the formation.How could Yuan Chengzhi allow them to slowly set up the formation again, took two steps forward, and poked Wen Fangshi's acupoints with three fingers of his left hand. Seeing him attacking, Wen Fangshi threw four more throwing knives at his chest.Yuan Chengzhi stretched out his fingers on the hilt of the knife one by one with his left hand to drop the flying knife, and his fingers fell straight to the Xuanji acupoint two inches and six minutes below his throat. Wen Fangshan's steel stick hit Yuan Chengzhi's right crotch with strong wind.Yuan Chengzhi pulled and dragged a disciple of the Chess Fairy School over to block the head of his staff. Wen Fangshan was terrified, although he didn't expect to hit the enemy with this stick, but considering the situation at that time, he couldn't dodge it back and forth, and he had no choice but to block with weapons, but what he used was a fragile stick Jade hairpin, as long as the steel rod is gently rubbed on the hosta hairpin, the hairpin will be shaken to pieces.Who would have thought that he dragged a disciple from his own sect to block him, if this stick goes up, wouldn't it break his tendons and bones?In the end, he was strong in martial arts and quick to respond. In a crisis, he suddenly took a step, pulled the head of the stick with his left hand, and shouted: "Brother, pay attention!"He knew that his eldest brother could block the stick, and sure enough, Wen Fonda's two halberds stood upright, and there was a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, and the steel staff and the short halberd bounced back respectively. Yuan Chengzhi has already taken the opportunity to attack Wen Fangwu.He slashed with his left palm, and the jade hairpin in his right hand kept stabbing at his eyes.Wen Fangwu backed up again and again, waving the whip to seal the door, but Yuan Chengzhi was already three feet in front of him, and the whip in his hand was too long. The so-called "whip is too long" has another meaning at this time. He was attacked six or seven times by Yuzan.Wen Fangwu saw the jade hairpin flickering, not leaving his eyes, and had pierced his eyelids twice in a row. He was so frightened that he was so frightened. At this time, he knew that the jade hairpin was so powerful that he couldn't dodge the last time. He threw away the whip and covered his hands. Closing his eyes, he fell to the ground and rolled a few times before avoiding it, but he was kicked heavily in the back of his heart, and the pain pierced his heart and lungs.Back then he defeated twelve heroes in a row in the Zhengzhou ring with a whip, and his prestige was far-reaching, and his reputation has not faded for decades, but today he was defeated by a jade hairpin in the hands of this young man so embarrassingly, when he jumped up Unbearably ashamed and indignant, the onlookers were also shocked. Huang Zhen saw that his younger brother was so good, and he had never seen such a strange move. When he was pleasantly surprised, he thought that even the master would not know these skills, "His family has a wide variety of treasures. It seems that it is not my Huashan Sect family who came in." Goods. He has a wide range of business opportunities." Cui Ximin screamed and cheered wildly.Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled. Yuan Chengzhi broke through the strong formation, and his spirit was steep. At this time, the winning ticket was in his hands, and he pressed forward. He used the Huashan School's subduing tiger palm technique for a while, and then used the jade hairpin to use the golden snake sword technique in "Golden Snake Secrets".这身法便是神剑仙猿穆人清亲临，金蛇郎君夏雪宜复生，也只识得一半，温氏五老如何懂得？他打退温方悟后，转向温方义攻击，也是险招连施，逼得他手忙脚乱。 温方达见情势紧急，大声呼哨，突然发掌把一名弟子推了出去。温方山也手脚齐施，把阵中弟子或掷或踢，一一清除。练武厅中人数一少，五行阵又推动起来。但袁承志逼住了温方义毫不放松，令五人无法连环邀击。酣斗中温方义左肩中掌，温方山钢杖笔直向袁承志后心捣去，同时温方达双戟向左攻到，温方义左肩虽痛，仍按照阵法施为。这时八卦阵已破，五行阵也已打乱，但五老仍然按照阵法，并力抵御。 青青虽见袁承志用小慧的碧玉簪作为兵刃，不由得心头有气，但见他取胜，却也暗喜。温仪瞧着袁承志在五老包围中进退趋避，身形潇洒，正是当年金蛇郎君在五行阵中的模样，又看一会儿，只见自己朝思夜想的情郎，白衣飘飘，正在阵中酣战，不由得心神激荡，站起身来，叫道：“夏郎，夏郎，你……你终于来了。”迈步便向厅心走去。青青忙拉住她手臂，叫道：“妈，你别去。”温仪眼睛一花，凝神看清楚阵中少年身形仿佛，面目却非，登觉晕眩，倒在青青的怀中。 便在此时，袁承志忽地跃起，右手将玉簪往自己头发中一插，左手挽住了厅顶的横梁，翻身而上。五老斗得正紧，忽然不见了敌人，一怔之际，便觉头顶风生，数十件暗器从空中撒将下来，知道不妙，待要闪避，温方山与温方施已给钱镖分别打中穴道，跌倒在地。本来照着金蛇郎君原来诀窍，要以宝剑紧护自身，再攻对方破绽，袁承志手无宝剑，略加变通，先以翻身俯卧引得对方发射飞刀，乘势攻破八卦阵，再发暗器，以代宝剑，一举破阵，手法虽然有异，其根本方策，还是依据于金蛇郎君的遗意。 温方达俯身去救，袁承志又是一把铜钱撒了下来。温方达双戟“密云不雨”，在头顶一阵盘旋，只听丁丁之声不绝，砸飞了十多粒铜钱。当下舞动双戟，化成一团白光护住顶门，忽然间手上剧震，双戟已给什么东西缠住，舞不开来。他吃了一惊，用力回夺，哪知就这么一夺，双戟突然脱手飞去。他不暇细思，于旁观众人惊呼声中向旁跃开三步，伸掌护身，只见袁承志已自空跃下，站在厅侧，手持双戟，温方施的皮鞭兀自缠在戟头。 袁承志喝道：“瞧着！”两戟脱手飞出，激射而前，分别钉入厅上的两根粗柱，戟刃直透柱身。两根柱子一阵摇动，头顶屋瓦乱响。站在门口的人纷纷逃出厅外，只怕大厅倒坍。 当年穆人清初授袁承志剑术时，曾脱手飞掷，剑身没入树干，木桑道人誉为天下无双剑法，袁承志今日显这一手，便是从那一招变来。黄真见他以本门手法掷戟撼柱，威不可当，不禁大叫：“袁师弟，好一招'天外飞龙'呀！”袁承志回头说道：“不敢忘了师父教导，请大师哥指教。” 温方达四顾茫然，只见四个兄弟都已倒在地下。袁承志缓步走到黄真身边，拔下头上玉簪，还给了小慧。
温方达见本派这座天下无敌的五行八卦阵，竟让这小子在片刻之间，如摧枯拉朽般一番扫荡，登时闹了个全军覆没，一阵心酸，竟想冲向柱子上自行碰死。但转念又想：“我已垂暮之年，这仇多半难报。但只要留得一口气在，总不能善罢干休！”双手一摆，对黄真道：“金子都在这里，你们拿去吧。” 崔希敏不待他再说第二句话，当即将地下金条尽行捡入皮袋之中，棋仙派空有数十人站在一旁，却眼睁睁地不敢阻拦。袁承志适才这一仗，已打得他们心惊胆战，斗志全失。 温方达走到二弟方义身边，但见他眼珠乱转，身子不能动弹，知是给袁承志以钱镖打中要穴，当即给他在云台穴推宫过血，但揉捏良久，温方义始终瘫痪不动。又去察看另外三个兄弟，一眼就知各人吃点中了穴道，然而依照所学的解穴法潜运内力施治，却全无功效，心知袁承志的点穴法另有怪异之处，可是惨败之余，以自己身份，实不愿低声下气地相求，转头瞧着青青，嘴唇一努。 青青知他要自己向袁承志求恳，故作不解，问道：“大爷爷，你叫我吗？”温方达暗骂：“你这刁钻丫头，这时来跟我为难，等此事过了，再瞧我来整治你们娘儿俩。”低声道：“你要他给四位爷爷解开穴道。” 青青走到袁承志跟前，福了一福，高声道：“我大爷爷说，请你给我四位爷爷解开穴道。这是我大爷爷求你的，可不是我求你啊！” 袁承志道：“好。”上前正要俯身解治，黄真忽然在铁算盘上一拨，说道：“袁师弟，你实在一点也不懂生意经。奇货可居，怎不起价？你开出盘去，不怕价钱怎么俏，人家总是要吃进的。” 袁承志知道大师兄对棋仙派很有恶感，这时要趁机报复。他想师父常说：“出于宽容，留有余地”，青青又已出言相求，金子既已取回，虽不愿再留难温氏五老，但大师兄在此，自然一切由他主持，便道：“请大师哥吩咐。” 黄真道：“温家在这里残害乡民，仗势横行，衢州四乡怨声载道，我这两天已打听得清清楚楚。我说师弟哪，你给人治病，那是要落本钱的，总得收点儿诊费才不蚀本，这笔钱咱们自己倒也不用要了，若是去救济给他温家害苦了的庄稼人，这桩生意做得过吧？” 袁承志想起初来静岩之时，见到许多乡民在温家大屋前诉怨说理，给温正打得落花流水，又想起静岩镇上无一人不对温家大屋恨之入骨，侠义之心顿起，道：“不错，这里的庄稼汉真给他们害苦啦。大师哥你说怎么办？” 黄真在算盘上滴滴笃笃地拨上拨下，摇头晃脑地念着珠算口诀，什么“六上一去五进一”、“三一三十一”、“二一添作五”说个不停，也不知算什么账。 崔希敏和小慧见惯黄真如此装模作样。袁承志对大师兄恭敬，见他算账算得稀奇古怪，却不敢嬉笑。棋仙派众人满腔气愤，哪里还笑得出？只有青青却“嗤”的一声笑了出来。 黄真摇头晃脑地道：“袁师弟，你的诊费都给你算出来啦！救一条命是四百石白米。”袁承志道：“四百石？”黄真道：“不错，四位老爷子是大大的英雄好汉，算得少了，不够面子。四百石上等白米，不许搀一粒沙子秕谷，斤两升斗，可不能有一点儿捣鬼。”也不问温方达是否答允，已说起白米的细节来。 袁承志道：“这里四位老爷子，那么一共是一千六百石了？”黄真大拇指一竖，赞道：“师弟，你的心算真行，不用算盘，就算出一个人四百石，四个人就是一千六百石。”崔希敏冲口说道：“我也算得出。”黄真向他点点头，示意嘉许。 黄真对温方达道：“明儿一早，请你大宝号备齐一千六百石白米，分给四乡贫民，每人一斗。你发满了一千六百石，我师弟就给你救治这四位令弟。” 温方达忍气道：“一时三刻之间，我哪里来这许多白米？我家里搬空了米仓，只怕也不过七八十石罢了。”黄真道：“诊金定价划一，折扣是不能打的。不过看在老朋友份上，分期发米，倒也不妨通融。你发满四百石，就给你救一个人。等你发满八百石，再给你救第二个。要是你手头不便，那么隔这么十天半月、一年半载之后再发米，我师弟随请随到，就算是在辽东、云南，也会赶来救人，决不会有一点儿拖延推搪。” 温方达心想：“四个兄弟给点中了穴道，最多过得十二个时辰，穴道自解，只不过损耗些内力而已，不必受他如此敲诈勒索。”黄真见他眼珠乱转，已猜中了他心思，说道：“其实呢，你我都是行家，知道过得几个时辰，穴道自解，这一千六百石白米，大可省了。不过我们华山派混元功的点穴有点儿霸道，若不以本门功夫解救，给点了穴道之人日后未免手脚不大灵便，至于头昏眼花，大便不通，小便闭塞，也在所难免，内力大损，更不在话下。好在四位年纪还轻，再练他五六十年，也就恢复原状了。” 温方达知道此言非虚，咬了咬牙，说道：“好吧，明天我发米就是。”黄真笑道：“大老板做生意爽快不过，一点也不讨价还价。下次再有生意，务必请你时时光顾。”温方达受他奚落了半天，一言不发，拂袖入内。 袁承志向温仪和青青施了一礼，说道：“明天见。”他知棋仙派现下有求于己，决不敢对她们母女为难。师兄弟等四人提了黄金，兴高采烈地回到借宿的农民家里。
这时天才微明。小慧下厨弄了些面条，四人吃了，谈起这场大胜，无不眉飞色舞。 黄真举起面碗，说道：“袁师弟，当时我听师父说收了一位年纪很轻的徒弟，曾对你二师哥归辛树夫妇讲笑，说咱们自己的弟子有些年纪都已四十开外了，师父忽然给他们添上了一位小师叔，只怕大伙儿有点尴尬吧。哪知师弟你功夫竟这么俊，别说我大师哥跟你差得远，你二师哥外号神拳无敌，大江南北少有敌手，但我瞧来，只怕也未必胜得过你。咱们华山派将来发扬光大，都应在师弟你身上了。这里没酒，我敬你一碗面汤。”说罢举起碗来，将面汤一饮而尽。 袁承志忙站起身来，端汤喝了一口，说道：“小弟今日侥幸取胜，举止轻浮，是为了要引得对方轻敌，出手攻击，但不免违了师父的教导。大师哥的称赞实在愧不敢当。请大师哥多多教诲。” 黄真笑道：“就凭你这份谦逊谨慎，武林中就极为难得，快坐下吃面。”他吃了几筷，转头对崔希敏道：“你只要学到袁师叔功夫的一成，就够你受用一世了。” 崔希敏在温家眼见袁承志大展神威，举手之间破了那厉害异常的五行阵，心里佩服之极，听师父这么说，突然跪倒、向袁承志磕了几个头，说道：“求小师叔教我点本事。”袁承志忙跪下还礼，连说：“不敢当，你师父的功夫，比我精纯十倍。” 黄真笑道：“我功夫不及你，可是要教这家伙，却也绰绰有余了，只是我实在少了耐心。师弟若肯成全这小子，做师哥的感激不尽。” 原来黄真因却不过崔秋山的情面，收了崔希敏为徒。但这弟子资质鲁钝，闻十而不能知一，与黄真机变灵动的性格极不相投。黄真纵是在授艺之时，也是不断地插科打诨，胡说八道。弟子越蠢，他讥刺越多。崔希敏怎能分辨师父的言语哪一句是真，哪一句是假？黄真明明说的是讽刺反话，他还道是称赞自己。如此学艺，自然难有成就。后来袁承志感念他叔叔崔秋山初传拳掌及舍命相救之德，又见他是小慧的爱侣，曾设法指点。崔希敏虽因天资所限，不能领会到多少，但比之过去，却已大有进益了。 四人在稻草堆中草草睡了几个时辰。中午时分，黄真和袁承志刚起身，外边有人叫门，进来一名壮汉，拿了温方达的名帖，邀请四人前去。黄真笑道：“你们消息也真灵通，我们落脚的地方居然打听得清清楚楚。” 四人来到温家，只见乡民云集，一担担白米从城里挑来，原来温方达连夜命人到衢州城里采购，衢州是浙东大城，甚是富饶，但骤然要运出一千六百石米，却也不免米价陡起，让温家又多花了几百两银子。温方达当下请黄真过目点数，然后一斗斗地发给贫民。四乡贫民纷纷议论，都说温家怎么忽然转了性。 黄真见温方达认真发米，虽知出于无奈，但也不再加以讥诮，说道：“温老爷子，你发米济贫，乃是为子孙积德。有个新编的好歌，在下唱给你听听。”放开嗓子，拍手顿足，唱了起来：“年来蝗旱苦频仍，嚼啮禾苗岁不登， 米价升腾增数倍，黎民处处不聊生。 草根木叶权充腹，儿女呱呱相向哭； 釜甑尘飞爨绝烟，数日难求一餐粥。 官府征粮纵虎差，豪家索债如狼豺。 可怜残喘存呼吸，魂魄先归泉壤埋。 骷髅遍地积如山，业重难过饥饿关。 能不教人数行泪，泪洒还成点血斑？ 奉劝富家同赈济，太仓一粒恩无既。 枯骨重教得再生，好生一念感天地。 天地无私佑善人，善人德厚福长臻。 助贫救生功勋大，德厚流光裕子孙。 " 他嗓子虽然不佳，但歌词感人，闻者尽皆动容。 袁承志道：“师哥，你这首歌儿作得很好啊。”黄真道：“我哪有这么大的才学？这是闯王手下大将李岩李公子作的歌儿。”袁承志点头道：“原来又是李公子的大作。他念念不忘黎民疾苦，那才是真英雄、大豪杰。” 袁承志也不待一千六百石白米发完，便给温氏四老解开穴道，推宫过血。四老委顿了半夜，均已有气无力，脸色气得铁青。袁承志向五老作了一揖，说道：“多多得罪，晚辈万分抱歉。” 黄真笑道：“你们送了一千六百石米，不免有点肉痛，但静岩温家的名声却好了不少。这桩生意你们其实是大有赚头，不可不知。”五老一言不发，掉头入内。 黄真见发米已毕，贫民散去，说道：“咱们走吧！” 袁承志心想须得与青青告别，又想她母女和温家已经破脸，只怕此处已不能居，正待和师哥商议，忽见青青抱着母亲，哭叫：“承志大哥！”快步奔了出来。只见温仪背上中了两柄飞刀，深入背心，直没至刀柄，眼见已然致命，难以复生，又见温方施满脸戾气，抢步出来，双手连挥，四柄飞刀向青青背上射去。 袁承志急跃而前，双手抄出，抓住了四柄射向青青的飞刀。温方施见袁承志出手接取飞刀，已知不妙，急忙快步退去，想避入门后。袁承志见他肆恶杀害亲人，大怒之下，疾纵而前，在他后心重重踹了一脚。这一脚用上了混元功，功力非凡。温方施哼也不哼，摔进门去，鲜血狂喷。袁承志踹这一脚，虽没伤了他性命，但功透要穴，温方施就此成为废人，终身不能治愈，武功全失。 青青哭道：“四爷爷下毒手杀……杀了我妈。” 袁承志又怒又悲，伸手要去拔刀。黄真把他手挡开，道：“拔不得，一拔立时就死！”眼见温仪伤重难救，便点了她两处穴道，使她稍减痛楚。 温仪脸露微笑，低声道：“青儿，别难受。我……我去……去见你爸爸啦。在你爸爸身边，没人……没人再欺侮我。”青青哭着连连点头。 温仪对袁承志道：“有一件事，你可不能瞒我。”袁承志道：“伯母要知道什么事？晚辈决不隐瞒。”温仪道：“他有没有遗书？有没提到我？”袁承志道：“夏前辈留下了些武功图谱。昨天我破五行阵，就是用他遗法，总算替他报了大仇，出了怨气。”温仪道：“他没留下给我的信么？”袁承志不答，只缓缓摇了摇头。 温仪好生失望，道：“他喝了那碗莲子羹才没力气，这碗……这碗莲子羹是我给他喝的。可是我真的……真的一点也不知道呀。”袁承志安慰她道：“夏前辈在天之灵，一定明白，决不会怪伯母的。”温仪道：“他定是伤心死的，怪我暗中害他，现今就算明白，可是也已迟了。”青青泣道：“妈，爹爹早知道的。那日你也喝了莲子羹，要陪爹爹一起死，还挡在他身前。他当时就明白了。”温仪道：“他……他当真明白吗？为什么一直不来接我？连……连遗书也不给我一封？” 袁承志见她临死尚为这事耿耿于怀，一时之间，想不出什么话来安慰，但见她目光散乱，双手慢慢垂了下来，忽然心念一动，想起了《金蛇秘笈》中那张“重宝之图”，其中提到过温仪的名字，忙从衣裹中取出来，道：“伯母，你请看！” 温仪双目本已合拢，这时又慢慢睁开，一见图上字迹，突然精神大振，叫道：“这是他的字，我认得的。”低声念着那几行字道：“得宝之人……务请赴浙江衢州静岩……寻访温仪，……寻访温仪，那就是我呀……酬以黄金十万两。”又见到那两行小字：“此时纵聚天下珍宝，亦焉得以易半日聚首，重财宝而轻别离，愚之极矣，悔甚，恨甚。”她满脸笑容，伸手拉住袁承志的衣袖，满怀欣慰，说道：“他没怪我，他心里仍记着我，想着我……而今我要去了，要去见他了……”说着慢慢闭上了眼。 袁承志见此情景，不禁垂泪。温仪忽然又睁开眼来，说道：“袁相公，我求你两件事，你一定得答允。”袁承志道：“伯母请说，只要做得到的，无不应命。”温仪道：“第一件，请你把我葬在他身边。第二件……第二件……”袁承志道：“第二件是什么？伯母请说。”温仪道：“我……我世上亲人，只有……只有这个女儿，请你……一生一世……照看着她……”手指着青青，忽然一口气接不上，双眼一闭，垂头不动，已停了呼吸。 青青伏在母亲身上大哭，袁承志轻拍她肩头。黄真、安小慧和崔希敏三人眼见袁承志对她极是关切，又见她母亲惨遭杀害，均感恻然，只是于此中内情一无所悉，不知说什么话来安慰才好。 青青忽地放下母亲尸身，拔剑而起，奔到大门之前，举剑乱剁大门，哭叫：“你们害死我爹爹，又害死我妈妈，
It turned out that Mr. Jin Snake fought against the five elders that day, was captured by poisoning, and was rescued by others. After he escaped from danger, he hid in the small town under Huashan and thought over the situation of the previous fierce fight. If it is intact, there is no stagnation in the internal force, and it will not be able to break through the five-element formation after all, it's just that it lasts for a while. He deduced the body moves of the five elders one by one, and finally discovered that the key to this formation is that after the enemy enters the siege, no matter how hard they try to dodge, the five elders will be able to counterattack with powerful moves. When one of them makes a move, the other four immediately Stretching upwards, the five elders defend each other with their moves and fill in the gaps. When facing the enemy, the five of them seem to be one and there are no flaws in their moves.There is no flaw in one person's martial arts, how can he break it?Mr. Golden Snake Langjun's body skills and tricks used by the five elders are clearly remembered. After years of hard thinking and anxiety, he has thought of all kinds of weird methods and strategies. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this formation is really indestructible break. Naturally, he had also thought of assassination and poisoning, as long as one of the five elders was killed, the five-element formation would not be a five-element formation.But he is arrogant and arrogant, and he disdains to do such a rogue trick.What's more, his tendons have been severed, all his martial arts are lost, even if he thinks of a way to destroy the formation, the formation cannot be destroyed by his own hands.Since it is said to break the formation, it must be upright and break it with real skills. One morning, when he was strolling in the open area outside the town, he suddenly saw a small green snake walking in the grass. Hearing the sound of people, he immediately curled up into a circle, raised his head, and remained still for a while. The reason why he got the nickname Golden Snake Langjun is because he is slippery, vicious and dangerous, but also because he likes to raise poisonous snakes, and squeeze the venom to make hidden weapons and arrows.Back then, Wen Fanglu's wife was shot by Wen Fanglu's arrow and died immediately, and the arrow was fed with snake venom.He is familiar with the nature of snakes, he knows how to move in circles and hold his head up, he waits for the enemy to attack first, and then sneaks in to counterattack from the enemy's openings, if the enemy doesn't move, snakes rarely attack first.The body of the snake curls up into a ball to hide all the weak points of the body, hold its head high and gather momentum, and wait for the opportunity to attack with the strongest fangs of its body.If rushing out to bite the enemy rashly, the snake has an extremely long body and many weaknesses, so it is inevitable that the enemy will take advantage of it and hit the snake's head seven inches or the snake's belly or tail.This is the nature of snakes to protect themselves.Mr. Jin Snake has seen these actions hundreds of times in the past, and he has never paid attention to them. But at the moment, he is concentrating on the secret of breaking through the Five Elements Formation. The strategy of breaking the five-element array was formulated accordingly, that is: "to strike later". In martial arts, what is emphasized is to control the enemy first, but this "late attack" is completely the opposite.The basic strategy is determined, and the rest of the methods can be easily solved. It doesn't take much effort to figure out all the methods to destroy the five-element formation, and write them down in "Golden Snake Secret Book".He knew that this secret book might not be discovered by anyone, and even if someone did, it might be thousands of years later, when the bones of the five elders of the Wen family would have already turned into dust.It's just that he couldn't hold any resentment in his heart, and he thought that the Five Elements Formation would always be passed down, if no one can break it, wouldn't it be that the Immortal Chess School will dominate the world?In his heart, since the method of breaking the formation has been figured out, the Five Elements Formation has been broken.It would be great if he could really destroy the Five Elements Formation with this method, but it was extremely uncertain after all, he never wanted to accept an apprentice to fulfill his wish.
Yuan Chengzhi now adheres to the strategy of "restraining people later", and after a few circles, he has driven all the five-element formation and the eight-diagram formation. Although the gossip formation was created by the five elders and was not mentioned in the "Golden Snake Secret Book", the fundamental gist is exactly the same as the five-element formation.Yuan Chengzhi only watched the sixteen people make a few circles, and he knew it clearly, and thought: "If the enemy can't break the five-element formation, why add another eight-diagram formation? If the five-element formation is broken, the eight-diagram formation will be in vain. The talents and insights of the five elders of the Wen family are indeed far behind those of Mr. Jin Snake. It seems that this five-element formation was also passed down from the previous generation. Forgive the five elders themselves. If you knew that the five elders of the Wen family would do such a superfluous act in the future, you would have saved a lot of painstaking planning. To break the five-element formation, the key is to find the loopholes in the formation. If there is no flaw, you must let it grow to form The disciples of the Eight Diagrams Formation are poor in skill, and it is much easier to find a flaw in it." The five elders wanted to wait for him to make a move, and then took advantage of the momentum to pounce on him, but saw that his body turned more and more slowly, with no intention of attacking, and finally sat down on the ground, with his hands on his knees, and a smile on his face.The five elders were horrified, and everyone watching was puzzled, wondering why he was so naughty in front of the enemy.As everyone knows, Yuan Chengzhi did not underestimate the enemy, but deliberately used a jade hairpin with no lethal power as a weapon, so that the opponent would not be on guard. In addition, he sat down on the ground, which was not a forward attack. It seemed that he completely underestimated the opponent. , Difficult to calm down, in addition to being impulsive, when he sees an opportunity to take advantage of, he loses caution, and if he deliberately reveals his flaws, the opponent shouldn't attack, but he can't help but want to attack, and once he attacks, he will expose his own flaws.Yuan Chengzhi's role at this time is not only to lure the enemy, but also to slow down the army. It seems to be reckless and underestimate the enemy, but in fact it is to lure the opponent to recklessly underestimate the enemy. Seeing him sitting down, Wen Fangyi really couldn't bear it anymore, he spread his palms wrongly, and wanted to hit him on the back.Wen Fangwu hurriedly said: "Second brother, don't mess up the formation!" Wen Fangyi held back.The five elders accelerated under their feet and continued to change formations, only waiting for him to make a move, and immediately embraced him.It should be noted that no matter whether there is a large army confronting each other or two people fighting each other, if the attacker concentrates all his strength on attacking the opponent, there must be a large number of weaknesses on his side that he will not defend.In the Five Elements Formation, one person is used to attract the opponent's attack and reveal his own weakness, while the other four attack the enemy's weakness. This is the principle of the so-called mutual generation and mutual restraint.Now that Yuan Chengzhi doesn't move at all, that means he is fully prepared, and the five elders can't do anything for a while. After a while, Yuan Chengzhi yawned suddenly, lying on the ground, with his hands folded under his head as a pillow, looking very casual and comfortable.The sixteen disciples outside the Eight Diagrams Formation wandered around for a long time, running faster and faster, and those with slightly weaker skills were sweating on the forehead and slightly panting.The five elders are really patient, and still don't make a move. Yuan Chengzhi thought to himself: "Thank you old guys for being able to bear this breath." Suddenly turned over, turned his back up, buried his face in his hands, and started snoring.Since fighting in martial arts, since the ages, there has never been such a posture, lying down with the back of the heart up, is it not at the mercy of others? Cui Ximin, Xiaohui, Qingqing, Wen Yi and others were funny and worried on his behalf.Seeing him sitting down and lying down first, Huang Zhen realized his strategy against the enemy. He couldn't help admiring his intelligence and boldness. Now seeing him turning over and lying down unscrupulously, he secretly screamed that it was not good. He felt that the price reduction was too much. If the five elders were to attack him from behind, how would they dodge it?To solicit business, you might as well talk sweetly and brag about yourself. The king's wife sells melons, and everything is sweet. You can make false statements and exaggerate, but you can't use bitter tricks. Seeing a good opportunity, Wen Fangda was overjoyed, swung his left hand sharply to the right, and pressed down fiercely. Wen Fangshi's four throwing knives were as fast as lightning, and they had pierced Yuan Chengzhi's vest.This attack was fast and accurate. Amidst the exclamation of the audience, four shining flying knives slashed at Yuan Chengzhi's vest at the same time. Yuan Chengzhi heard the direction of the flying knives, turned over and grabbed the four handles with both hands. The throwing knives were thrown vigorously into the gossip formation. Wen Nanyang and three second-generation disciples of the Wen family were hit with knives in their arms and legs. Amidst the loud shouts, Yuan Chengzhi had already mentioned one by one and threw them into the five elements formation. When the five elders were stunned, their footwork slowed down a little, and they saw Yuan Chengzhi rushing out of the gap, but saw the sixteen disciples outside the formation like thirsty horses rushing to the spring, jackdaws rushed to the water, and threw them towards the center of the five-element formation.Yuan Chengzhi punches here and kicks there. Every move is a heavy hand. The disciples either restrain him, grab it and throw it in, or let him swing into the formation with his palm.Wen Zheng and the others had relatively deep skills, and they used their fists to resist, and they also used three moves and two moves. They were knocked down immediately, and fell into the five-element formation involuntarily. As a result, the five elements and eight trigrams formation suddenly became chaotic.There are no enemies in the formation, and all the people who come and go are our own people.Everyone never expected that when Yuan Chengzhi was lying on the ground, he would be able to stand out with surprise soldiers, which caused the flaws in the Five Elements Formation and the Eight Diagrams Formation to be revealed. The five elders of the Wen family screamed strangely and frantically caught the disciples who flew into the formation.How could Yuan Chengzhi allow them to slowly set up the formation again, took two steps forward, and poked Wen Fangshi's acupoints with three fingers of his left hand. Seeing him attacking, Wen Fangshi threw four more throwing knives at his chest.Yuan Chengzhi stretched out his fingers on the hilt of the knife one by one with his left hand to drop the flying knife, and his fingers fell straight to the Xuanji acupoint two inches and six minutes below his throat. Wen Fangshan's steel stick hit Yuan Chengzhi's right crotch with strong wind.Yuan Chengzhi pulled and dragged a disciple of the Chess Fairy School over to block the head of his staff. Wen Fangshan was terrified, although he didn't expect to hit the enemy with this stick, but considering the situation at that time, he couldn't dodge it back and forth, and he had no choice but to block with weapons, but what he used was a fragile stick Jade hairpin, as long as the steel rod is gently rubbed on the hosta hairpin, the hairpin will be shaken to pieces.Who would have thought that he dragged a disciple from his own sect to block him, if this stick goes up, wouldn't it break his tendons and bones?In the end, he was strong in martial arts and quick to respond. In a crisis, he suddenly took a step, pulled the head of the stick with his left hand, and shouted: "Brother, pay attention!"He knew that his eldest brother could block the stick, and sure enough, Wen Fonda's two halberds stood upright, and there was a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, and the steel staff and the short halberd bounced back respectively. Yuan Chengzhi has already taken the opportunity to attack Wen Fangwu.He slashed with his left palm, and the jade hairpin in his right hand kept stabbing at his eyes.Wen Fangwu backed up again and again, waving the whip to seal the door, but Yuan Chengzhi was already three feet in front of him, and the whip in his hand was too long. The so-called "whip is too long" has another meaning at this time. He was attacked six or seven times by Yuzan.Wen Fangwu saw the jade hairpin flickering, not leaving his eyes, and had pierced his eyelids twice in a row. He was so frightened that he was so frightened. At this time, he knew that the jade hairpin was so powerful that he couldn't dodge the last time. He threw away the whip and covered his hands. Closing his eyes, he fell to the ground and rolled a few times before avoiding it, but he was kicked heavily in the back of his heart, and the pain pierced his heart and lungs.Back then he defeated twelve heroes in a row in the Zhengzhou ring with a whip, and his prestige was far-reaching, and his reputation has not faded for decades, but today he was defeated by a jade hairpin in the hands of this young man so embarrassingly, when he jumped up Unbearably ashamed and indignant, the onlookers were also shocked. Huang Zhen saw that his younger brother was so good, and he had never seen such a strange move. When he was pleasantly surprised, he thought that even the master would not know these skills, "His family has a wide variety of treasures. It seems that it is not my Huashan Sect family who came in." Goods. He has a wide range of business opportunities." Cui Ximin screamed and cheered wildly.Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled. Yuan Chengzhi broke through the strong formation, and his spirit was steep. At this time, the winning ticket was in his hands, and he pressed forward. He used the Huashan School's subduing tiger palm technique for a while, and then used the jade hairpin to use the golden snake sword technique in "Golden Snake Secrets".这身法便是神剑仙猿穆人清亲临，金蛇郎君夏雪宜复生，也只识得一半，温氏五老如何懂得？他打退温方悟后，转向温方义攻击，也是险招连施，逼得他手忙脚乱。 温方达见情势紧急，大声呼哨，突然发掌把一名弟子推了出去。温方山也手脚齐施，把阵中弟子或掷或踢，一一清除。练武厅中人数一少，五行阵又推动起来。但袁承志逼住了温方义毫不放松，令五人无法连环邀击。酣斗中温方义左肩中掌，温方山钢杖笔直向袁承志后心捣去，同时温方达双戟向左攻到，温方义左肩虽痛，仍按照阵法施为。这时八卦阵已破，五行阵也已打乱，但五老仍然按照阵法，并力抵御。 青青虽见袁承志用小慧的碧玉簪作为兵刃，不由得心头有气，但见他取胜，却也暗喜。温仪瞧着袁承志在五老包围中进退趋避，身形潇洒，正是当年金蛇郎君在五行阵中的模样，又看一会儿，只见自己朝思夜想的情郎，白衣飘飘，正在阵中酣战，不由得心神激荡，站起身来，叫道：“夏郎，夏郎，你……你终于来了。”迈步便向厅心走去。青青忙拉住她手臂，叫道：“妈，你别去。”温仪眼睛一花，凝神看清楚阵中少年身形仿佛，面目却非，登觉晕眩，倒在青青的怀中。 便在此时，袁承志忽地跃起，右手将玉簪往自己头发中一插，左手挽住了厅顶的横梁，翻身而上。五老斗得正紧，忽然不见了敌人，一怔之际，便觉头顶风生，数十件暗器从空中撒将下来，知道不妙，待要闪避，温方山与温方施已给钱镖分别打中穴道，跌倒在地。本来照着金蛇郎君原来诀窍，要以宝剑紧护自身，再攻对方破绽，袁承志手无宝剑，略加变通，先以翻身俯卧引得对方发射飞刀，乘势攻破八卦阵，再发暗器，以代宝剑，一举破阵，手法虽然有异，其根本方策，还是依据于金蛇郎君的遗意。 温方达俯身去救，袁承志又是一把铜钱撒了下来。温方达双戟“密云不雨”，在头顶一阵盘旋，只听丁丁之声不绝，砸飞了十多粒铜钱。当下舞动双戟，化成一团白光护住顶门，忽然间手上剧震，双戟已给什么东西缠住，舞不开来。他吃了一惊，用力回夺，哪知就这么一夺，双戟突然脱手飞去。他不暇细思，于旁观众人惊呼声中向旁跃开三步，伸掌护身，只见袁承志已自空跃下，站在厅侧，手持双戟，温方施的皮鞭兀自缠在戟头。 袁承志喝道：“瞧着！”两戟脱手飞出，激射而前，分别钉入厅上的两根粗柱，戟刃直透柱身。两根柱子一阵摇动，头顶屋瓦乱响。站在门口的人纷纷逃出厅外，只怕大厅倒坍。 当年穆人清初授袁承志剑术时，曾脱手飞掷，剑身没入树干，木桑道人誉为天下无双剑法，袁承志今日显这一手，便是从那一招变来。黄真见他以本门手法掷戟撼柱，威不可当，不禁大叫：“袁师弟，好一招'天外飞龙'呀！”袁承志回头说道：“不敢忘了师父教导，请大师哥指教。” 温方达四顾茫然，只见四个兄弟都已倒在地下。袁承志缓步走到黄真身边，拔下头上玉簪，还给了小慧。
温方达见本派这座天下无敌的五行八卦阵，竟让这小子在片刻之间，如摧枯拉朽般一番扫荡，登时闹了个全军覆没，一阵心酸，竟想冲向柱子上自行碰死。但转念又想：“我已垂暮之年，这仇多半难报。但只要留得一口气在，总不能善罢干休！”双手一摆，对黄真道：“金子都在这里，你们拿去吧。” 崔希敏不待他再说第二句话，当即将地下金条尽行捡入皮袋之中，棋仙派空有数十人站在一旁，却眼睁睁地不敢阻拦。袁承志适才这一仗，已打得他们心惊胆战，斗志全失。 温方达走到二弟方义身边，但见他眼珠乱转，身子不能动弹，知是给袁承志以钱镖打中要穴，当即给他在云台穴推宫过血，但揉捏良久，温方义始终瘫痪不动。又去察看另外三个兄弟，一眼就知各人吃点中了穴道，然而依照所学的解穴法潜运内力施治，却全无功效，心知袁承志的点穴法另有怪异之处，可是惨败之余，以自己身份，实不愿低声下气地相求，转头瞧着青青，嘴唇一努。 青青知他要自己向袁承志求恳，故作不解，问道：“大爷爷，你叫我吗？”温方达暗骂：“你这刁钻丫头，这时来跟我为难，等此事过了，再瞧我来整治你们娘儿俩。”低声道：“你要他给四位爷爷解开穴道。” 青青走到袁承志跟前，福了一福，高声道：“我大爷爷说，请你给我四位爷爷解开穴道。这是我大爷爷求你的，可不是我求你啊！” 袁承志道：“好。”上前正要俯身解治，黄真忽然在铁算盘上一拨，说道：“袁师弟，你实在一点也不懂生意经。奇货可居，怎不起价？你开出盘去，不怕价钱怎么俏，人家总是要吃进的。” 袁承志知道大师兄对棋仙派很有恶感，这时要趁机报复。他想师父常说：“出于宽容，留有余地”，青青又已出言相求，金子既已取回，虽不愿再留难温氏五老，但大师兄在此，自然一切由他主持，便道：“请大师哥吩咐。” 黄真道：“温家在这里残害乡民，仗势横行，衢州四乡怨声载道，我这两天已打听得清清楚楚。我说师弟哪，你给人治病，那是要落本钱的，总得收点儿诊费才不蚀本，这笔钱咱们自己倒也不用要了，若是去救济给他温家害苦了的庄稼人，这桩生意做得过吧？” 袁承志想起初来静岩之时，见到许多乡民在温家大屋前诉怨说理，给温正打得落花流水，又想起静岩镇上无一人不对温家大屋恨之入骨，侠义之心顿起，道：“不错，这里的庄稼汉真给他们害苦啦。大师哥你说怎么办？” 黄真在算盘上滴滴笃笃地拨上拨下，摇头晃脑地念着珠算口诀，什么“六上一去五进一”、“三一三十一”、“二一添作五”说个不停，也不知算什么账。 崔希敏和小慧见惯黄真如此装模作样。袁承志对大师兄恭敬，见他算账算得稀奇古怪，却不敢嬉笑。棋仙派众人满腔气愤，哪里还笑得出？只有青青却“嗤”的一声笑了出来。 黄真摇头晃脑地道：“袁师弟，你的诊费都给你算出来啦！救一条命是四百石白米。”袁承志道：“四百石？”黄真道：“不错，四位老爷子是大大的英雄好汉，算得少了，不够面子。四百石上等白米，不许搀一粒沙子秕谷，斤两升斗，可不能有一点儿捣鬼。”也不问温方达是否答允，已说起白米的细节来。 袁承志道：“这里四位老爷子，那么一共是一千六百石了？”黄真大拇指一竖，赞道：“师弟，你的心算真行，不用算盘，就算出一个人四百石，四个人就是一千六百石。”崔希敏冲口说道：“我也算得出。”黄真向他点点头，示意嘉许。 黄真对温方达道：“明儿一早，请你大宝号备齐一千六百石白米，分给四乡贫民，每人一斗。你发满了一千六百石，我师弟就给你救治这四位令弟。” 温方达忍气道：“一时三刻之间，我哪里来这许多白米？我家里搬空了米仓，只怕也不过七八十石罢了。”黄真道：“诊金定价划一，折扣是不能打的。不过看在老朋友份上，分期发米，倒也不妨通融。你发满四百石，就给你救一个人。等你发满八百石，再给你救第二个。要是你手头不便，那么隔这么十天半月、一年半载之后再发米，我师弟随请随到，就算是在辽东、云南，也会赶来救人，决不会有一点儿拖延推搪。” 温方达心想：“四个兄弟给点中了穴道，最多过得十二个时辰，穴道自解，只不过损耗些内力而已，不必受他如此敲诈勒索。”黄真见他眼珠乱转，已猜中了他心思，说道：“其实呢，你我都是行家，知道过得几个时辰，穴道自解，这一千六百石白米，大可省了。不过我们华山派混元功的点穴有点儿霸道，若不以本门功夫解救，给点了穴道之人日后未免手脚不大灵便，至于头昏眼花，大便不通，小便闭塞，也在所难免，内力大损，更不在话下。好在四位年纪还轻，再练他五六十年，也就恢复原状了。” 温方达知道此言非虚，咬了咬牙，说道：“好吧，明天我发米就是。”黄真笑道：“大老板做生意爽快不过，一点也不讨价还价。下次再有生意，务必请你时时光顾。”温方达受他奚落了半天，一言不发，拂袖入内。 袁承志向温仪和青青施了一礼，说道：“明天见。”他知棋仙派现下有求于己，决不敢对她们母女为难。师兄弟等四人提了黄金，兴高采烈地回到借宿的农民家里。
这时天才微明。小慧下厨弄了些面条，四人吃了，谈起这场大胜，无不眉飞色舞。 黄真举起面碗，说道：“袁师弟，当时我听师父说收了一位年纪很轻的徒弟，曾对你二师哥归辛树夫妇讲笑，说咱们自己的弟子有些年纪都已四十开外了，师父忽然给他们添上了一位小师叔，只怕大伙儿有点尴尬吧。哪知师弟你功夫竟这么俊，别说我大师哥跟你差得远，你二师哥外号神拳无敌，大江南北少有敌手，但我瞧来，只怕也未必胜得过你。咱们华山派将来发扬光大，都应在师弟你身上了。这里没酒，我敬你一碗面汤。”说罢举起碗来，将面汤一饮而尽。 袁承志忙站起身来，端汤喝了一口，说道：“小弟今日侥幸取胜，举止轻浮，是为了要引得对方轻敌，出手攻击，但不免违了师父的教导。大师哥的称赞实在愧不敢当。请大师哥多多教诲。” 黄真笑道：“就凭你这份谦逊谨慎，武林中就极为难得，快坐下吃面。”他吃了几筷，转头对崔希敏道：“你只要学到袁师叔功夫的一成，就够你受用一世了。” 崔希敏在温家眼见袁承志大展神威，举手之间破了那厉害异常的五行阵，心里佩服之极，听师父这么说，突然跪倒、向袁承志磕了几个头，说道：“求小师叔教我点本事。”袁承志忙跪下还礼，连说：“不敢当，你师父的功夫，比我精纯十倍。” 黄真笑道：“我功夫不及你，可是要教这家伙，却也绰绰有余了，只是我实在少了耐心。师弟若肯成全这小子，做师哥的感激不尽。” 原来黄真因却不过崔秋山的情面，收了崔希敏为徒。但这弟子资质鲁钝，闻十而不能知一，与黄真机变灵动的性格极不相投。黄真纵是在授艺之时，也是不断地插科打诨，胡说八道。弟子越蠢，他讥刺越多。崔希敏怎能分辨师父的言语哪一句是真，哪一句是假？黄真明明说的是讽刺反话，他还道是称赞自己。如此学艺，自然难有成就。后来袁承志感念他叔叔崔秋山初传拳掌及舍命相救之德，又见他是小慧的爱侣，曾设法指点。崔希敏虽因天资所限，不能领会到多少，但比之过去，却已大有进益了。 四人在稻草堆中草草睡了几个时辰。中午时分，黄真和袁承志刚起身，外边有人叫门，进来一名壮汉，拿了温方达的名帖，邀请四人前去。黄真笑道：“你们消息也真灵通，我们落脚的地方居然打听得清清楚楚。” 四人来到温家，只见乡民云集，一担担白米从城里挑来，原来温方达连夜命人到衢州城里采购，衢州是浙东大城，甚是富饶，但骤然要运出一千六百石米，却也不免米价陡起，让温家又多花了几百两银子。温方达当下请黄真过目点数，然后一斗斗地发给贫民。四乡贫民纷纷议论，都说温家怎么忽然转了性。 黄真见温方达认真发米，虽知出于无奈，但也不再加以讥诮，说道：“温老爷子，你发米济贫，乃是为子孙积德。有个新编的好歌，在下唱给你听听。”放开嗓子，拍手顿足，唱了起来：“年来蝗旱苦频仍，嚼啮禾苗岁不登， 米价升腾增数倍，黎民处处不聊生。 草根木叶权充腹，儿女呱呱相向哭； 釜甑尘飞爨绝烟，数日难求一餐粥。 官府征粮纵虎差，豪家索债如狼豺。 可怜残喘存呼吸，魂魄先归泉壤埋。 骷髅遍地积如山，业重难过饥饿关。 能不教人数行泪，泪洒还成点血斑？ 奉劝富家同赈济，太仓一粒恩无既。 枯骨重教得再生，好生一念感天地。 天地无私佑善人，善人德厚福长臻。 助贫救生功勋大，德厚流光裕子孙。 " 他嗓子虽然不佳，但歌词感人，闻者尽皆动容。 袁承志道：“师哥，你这首歌儿作得很好啊。”黄真道：“我哪有这么大的才学？这是闯王手下大将李岩李公子作的歌儿。”袁承志点头道：“原来又是李公子的大作。他念念不忘黎民疾苦，那才是真英雄、大豪杰。” 袁承志也不待一千六百石白米发完，便给温氏四老解开穴道，推宫过血。四老委顿了半夜，均已有气无力，脸色气得铁青。袁承志向五老作了一揖，说道：“多多得罪，晚辈万分抱歉。” 黄真笑道：“你们送了一千六百石米，不免有点肉痛，但静岩温家的名声却好了不少。这桩生意你们其实是大有赚头，不可不知。”五老一言不发，掉头入内。 黄真见发米已毕，贫民散去，说道：“咱们走吧！” 袁承志心想须得与青青告别，又想她母女和温家已经破脸，只怕此处已不能居，正待和师哥商议，忽见青青抱着母亲，哭叫：“承志大哥！”快步奔了出来。只见温仪背上中了两柄飞刀，深入背心，直没至刀柄，眼见已然致命，难以复生，又见温方施满脸戾气，抢步出来，双手连挥，四柄飞刀向青青背上射去。 袁承志急跃而前，双手抄出，抓住了四柄射向青青的飞刀。温方施见袁承志出手接取飞刀，已知不妙，急忙快步退去，想避入门后。袁承志见他肆恶杀害亲人，大怒之下，疾纵而前，在他后心重重踹了一脚。这一脚用上了混元功，功力非凡。温方施哼也不哼，摔进门去，鲜血狂喷。袁承志踹这一脚，虽没伤了他性命，但功透要穴，温方施就此成为废人，终身不能治愈，武功全失。 青青哭道：“四爷爷下毒手杀……杀了我妈。” 袁承志又怒又悲，伸手要去拔刀。黄真把他手挡开，道：“拔不得，一拔立时就死！”眼见温仪伤重难救，便点了她两处穴道，使她稍减痛楚。 温仪脸露微笑，低声道：“青儿，别难受。我……我去……去见你爸爸啦。在你爸爸身边，没人……没人再欺侮我。”青青哭着连连点头。 温仪对袁承志道：“有一件事，你可不能瞒我。”袁承志道：“伯母要知道什么事？晚辈决不隐瞒。”温仪道：“他有没有遗书？有没提到我？”袁承志道：“夏前辈留下了些武功图谱。昨天我破五行阵，就是用他遗法，总算替他报了大仇，出了怨气。”温仪道：“他没留下给我的信么？”袁承志不答，只缓缓摇了摇头。 温仪好生失望，道：“他喝了那碗莲子羹才没力气，这碗……这碗莲子羹是我给他喝的。可是我真的……真的一点也不知道呀。”袁承志安慰她道：“夏前辈在天之灵，一定明白，决不会怪伯母的。”温仪道：“他定是伤心死的，怪我暗中害他，现今就算明白，可是也已迟了。”青青泣道：“妈，爹爹早知道的。那日你也喝了莲子羹，要陪爹爹一起死，还挡在他身前。他当时就明白了。”温仪道：“他……他当真明白吗？为什么一直不来接我？连……连遗书也不给我一封？” 袁承志见她临死尚为这事耿耿于怀，一时之间，想不出什么话来安慰，但见她目光散乱，双手慢慢垂了下来，忽然心念一动，想起了《金蛇秘笈》中那张“重宝之图”，其中提到过温仪的名字，忙从衣裹中取出来，道：“伯母，你请看！” 温仪双目本已合拢，这时又慢慢睁开，一见图上字迹，突然精神大振，叫道：“这是他的字，我认得的。”低声念着那几行字道：“得宝之人……务请赴浙江衢州静岩……寻访温仪，……寻访温仪，那就是我呀……酬以黄金十万两。”又见到那两行小字：“此时纵聚天下珍宝，亦焉得以易半日聚首，重财宝而轻别离，愚之极矣，悔甚，恨甚。”她满脸笑容，伸手拉住袁承志的衣袖，满怀欣慰，说道：“他没怪我，他心里仍记着我，想着我……而今我要去了，要去见他了……”说着慢慢闭上了眼。 袁承志见此情景，不禁垂泪。温仪忽然又睁开眼来，说道：“袁相公，我求你两件事，你一定得答允。”袁承志道：“伯母请说，只要做得到的，无不应命。”温仪道：“第一件，请你把我葬在他身边。第二件……第二件……”袁承志道：“第二件是什么？伯母请说。”温仪道：“我……我世上亲人，只有……只有这个女儿，请你……一生一世……照看着她……”手指着青青，忽然一口气接不上，双眼一闭，垂头不动，已停了呼吸。 青青伏在母亲身上大哭，袁承志轻拍她肩头。黄真、安小慧和崔希敏三人眼见袁承志对她极是关切，又见她母亲惨遭杀害，均感恻然，只是于此中内情一无所悉，不知说什么话来安慰才好。 青青忽地放下母亲尸身，拔剑而起，奔到大门之前，举剑乱剁大门，哭叫：“你们害死我爹爹，又害死我妈妈，
