Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Fighting Harms for the People, Fang Said Heroes to Resist Violence and Defilement

Seeing the wolves swarming like a swarm of wolves, Zhang Zhaozhong and the Three Demons of the Kanto Region chased Chen Jialuo and the other three away. Although they felt that it was a pity for the two beautiful women to be kissed by wolves, they were also very fortunate that they were able to escape the catastrophe.The four of them sat down to rest and roasted the dead wolf in the fire circle.Gu Jinbiao saw that the branches were about to burn up again, so he didn't bother to pick them, so he put the wolf dung in the fire, and added fire to roast the wolf meat.Not long after, a column of black smoke shot up into the sky, even though the wind blew, it still lingered.

While they were feasting on wolf meat, suddenly another dust head rose from the east.Seeing the wolves coming again, the four hurried to lead the horses.At this time, there were only two horses left, both of which were brought by the Three Demons of Kanto.Zhang Zhaozhong stretched out his hand to grab the rein of a horse, Hahetai jumped forward, grabbed the rein, and asked, "What do you want?" Zhang Zhaozhong waved his palm and was about to strike, when he saw Teng Yilei and Gu Jinbiao pressing forward .His long sword had been chopped off by Chen Jialuo, and he had no weapon in his hand. He was in a hurry to cheat, and shouted: "What are you busy with? That's not a wolf!" The Three Demons of the Eastern Guandong looked back, and Zhang Zhaozhong had turned on his horse.With a glance, he saw a large herd of llamas amidst the billowing smoke and dust, and there were no traces of hungry wolves.He planned to get on his horse and flee westward, but he couldn't get off the stage at this time, so he turned his horse's head around and went towards the place where the smoke and dust were, and shouted: "I'll go up and have a look."

After running for less than a mile, I saw a horse galloping towards me, rushing forward, the rider pulled the rein, and the horse stopped suddenly and never moved again.Zhang Zhaozhong secretly praised: "Good riding skills!" The rider was an old man in gray clothes. Seeing that he was dressed as a Qing army officer, he asked in Chinese, "Where are the wolves?" Zhang Zhaozhong pointed to the west.At this time, a large herd of llamas had swarmed in. Behind them was a bald, red-faced old man and a white-haired, short old woman who rode on horseback to escort the team, only hearing the neighing of the sheep, and they became a mess.

Just as Zhang Zhaozhong was about to ask, the Three Demons of the Eastern Region had brought their horses over. When they saw the gray-clothed old man, they immediately saluted respectfully and said, "I see you again, old man. How are you, old man?" The old man hummed and said: " There's nothing wrong with that." It turned out to be Yuan Shixiao, the strange man from Tianchi Lake. After Tianshan Shuangying left Chen Jialuo and Princess Xiangxiang in the early morning, they remembered that Huo Qingtong was still ill and rushed back to visit her.After walking for two days, I saw Yuan Shixiao coming with a large herd of llamas.In order to please his beloved wife, Chen Zhengde used to be very affectionate.Yuan Shixiao was surprised to see him change suddenly, while Guan Mingmei was smiling at the side.

Chen Zhengde said: "Brother Yuan, where are you going to drive this large herd of llamas?" Yuan Shixiao rolled his eyes and said, "I ruined your family for you." Said: "Last time I bought a lot of camels, cattle and sheep, and I wanted to lure the wolves into a trap, but I didn't know..." Chen Zhengde said with a smile: "I didn't know that a bad old man like me was messing around and ruined the big thing." Yuan Shixiao said: " Isn’t that right? What can I do? I have to find more money to buy llamas!” Chen Zhengde laughed and said, “How much did Brother Yuan spend? My younger brother will pay you back.” Since that night, his wife has been gentle and considerate to him, and he Her usual irritable and jealous personality has changed drastically. She only wanted to please his wife, but she actually humbled and accommodated Yuan Tuxiao, which is unprecedented.Yuan Shixiao said: "Who wants you to pay?" Chen Zhengde smiled and said: "Then we will do a little work for you! How about following your orders and going to find the wolf together?" Yuan Shixiao looked at Guan Mingmei, saw her smiling and nodded, and said: "Okay Let's go!" So the three drove the llama and followed the trail of wolf dung to find it.That day, I saw wolf smoke in the distance, and more and more wolf dung underground. I was afraid that the wolves were nearby, and someone was trapped and asked for help. He rushed towards the smoke column, and met Zhang Zhaozhong and the Three Demons of the East.

Zhang Zhaozhong didn't know what kind of person this old man was, but he saw that the three demons were very respectful, he knew he must be an extraordinary person.Yuan Shixiao looked around for a while, and said to the four people: "Let's go catch wolves, you all follow me." The four people were startled, stunned and speechless, thinking that this old man is crazy, Seeing the wolves running away, he was too scared, so he said to catch wolves.The Three Demons of Guandong had been rescued by him, and they knew that he had amazing martial arts, so they didn't dare to do anything.But Zhang Zhaozhong let out a "hum" in his nose, and said, "I want to eat for a few more years, so I won't accompany you." Then he turned to leave.

Chen Zhengde was furious, grabbed him by the waist, and shouted: "You don't listen to Yuan Daxia's orders, do you want to die?" Xiaoquan hit Chen Zhengde's hand.Just as he was about to hit him, he saw that his five fingers were like eagle claws under the sun, he was startled, he immediately retracted his palm, changed his fist into a fist, and slammed at his wrist.When Chen Zhengde missed a catch, he also changed his punch and knocked him down.The two people's arms are locked, their internal skills are familiar to the enemy, they are equal, each took three steps away, secretly wondering: how did they meet such a master in the desert?

Zhang Zhaozhong yelled: "My friend, please keep Wan'er here." Chen Zhengde scolded: "You are worthy of being my friend? Are you going to listen to Yuan Daxia's orders?" If, but he kept claiming that the gray-clothed old man was "Yuan Daxia" and respected him very much. It seemed that the man's martial arts were higher.Who is Daxia Yuan?I can't remember it for a while.I thought that there are people in the martial arts world who have earned their fame, don't let him be deceived, but if they are stubborn, the six of them join hands, and they will never be able to fight alone.Now he said neither arrogant nor humble: "I would like to ask Yuan Daxia about his surname, if he is indeed a senior, he should obey his orders."

Yuan Shixiao said: "Haha, you are taking the test against me! I only test against others in my life, and I have never been tested by others. Let me ask you, just now you used "the clouds hold the moon" and later changed to "the snow embraces the blue." Guan', if I give you a move of "Slaying the Tiger Down the Mountain" from the left side, tap your "Shenting Point" from the right side, and kick you three inches below the knee bend with the right foot at the same time, how can you handle it?" Zhang Zhaozhong was stunned, and replied: " I'm going to 'Shoot the Condor with the Bow', and I'll use the grapple method to pinch your veins." Yuan Shixiao said: "Defend the center and attack, that's also a master of Wudang sect."

Zhang Zhaozhong was startled, and thought to himself: "I only played a trick with that bald old man, and then answered him a word, and he knew my martial arts school." Yuan Shixiao said: "When I was in Hubei, I once and Ma The Master of the True Way has proven martial arts." Zhang Zhaozhong's chest trembled, his face was ashen.Yuan Shixiao said again: "My right hand uses the soft palm 'yin hand' to defuse your capture, and my left elbow goes straight in and hits your chest..." Zhang Zhaozhong rushed to say: "That's the 'elbow hammer' of Dahongquan." Yuan Shixiao Said: "That's right, but this 'elbow hammer' is just a false move. When you hold your chest and pull your back, my left palm burst out and counterattacked your face. Back then, Daoist Ma Zhen couldn't dodge this move. Later, I said to you He listens. Let's see if you can tear it down."

Zhang Zhaozhong thought deeply, and after a while, he said: "If you change your moves quickly, I will naturally have no time to dodge. I will attack your left flank with a 'mandarin duck kick', so that you have to dodge and accept the move." Yuan Shixiao laughed, and said: "This It's a good move. In today's Wudang sect, most of the martial arts regard you as the number one." Zhang Zhaozhong said: "I will hit the Xuanji acupoint on your chest immediately!" Yuan Shixiao shouted: "Okay! The offensive is as continuous as the rivers and lakes, and it is a master. I will return to the northwest Sister, I attack you." Zhang Zhao said again: "I will retire from the position of 'Litigation', enter 'Wu Wang', and click on 'Tianquan'." Gu Jinbiao and Hahetai were puzzled when they heard his strange words and phrases.Hahetai pulled Teng Yilei's skirt, and asked in a low voice: "What kind of slang are they talking about?" Teng Yilei said, "It's not slang, it's Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams and human acupoints." Only then did I realize that the two were fighting verbally.I have only heard of "talking about war on paper", but such verbal fighting is unheard of. Just listen to Yuan Shixiao's way: "Go right into 'Mingyi' and take 'Qimen'." Zhang Zhaozhong said: "Back to 'Zhongfu' and melt it away with the phoenix eye." Huantiao', and imprinted 'Quyuan' with the left palm." Zhang Zhaozhong looked tense, paused for a moment, and said: "Back to the 'Zhen' position, then to the 'Reset' position, and then to the 'Weiji' position." Ha Hetai whispered: "Why does he keep retreating?" Teng Yilei shook his hand at him.Hearing that the two talked faster and faster, Yuan Shixiao smiled and looked calm, Zhang Zhaozhong's forehead was dripping with sweat, and sometimes he had to think for a long time before forcing out a move.The three demons of the Kanto all thought: "If it's really against the enemy, there's no room for you to think about it. As long as you slow down, you will be defeated long ago." The two exchanged several tricks again, Zhang Zhaozhong said: "Enter the 'little animal' by the side and guard the middle." Yuan Shixiao waved his hand and said: "This trick is not good, you lost!" Zhang Zhaozhong said: "Ask for advice." Yuan Shixiao said : "I jumped into the 'Ben' position, kicked 'Yinshi', and clicked 'Shenfeng', you can't save it." Zhang Zhaozhong said: "That's good, but since you are in the 'Ben' position, you are afraid that your elbow will I can't hit my Shenfeng acupoint." Yuan Shixiao said: "You don't need an elbow! If you don't believe me, just try! Be careful." His right leg flew up and kicked at the Yinshi acupoint three inches above his knee, Zhang Zhaozhong jumped back He opened his mouth and shouted: "How did you hurt me..." Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shixiao stretched out his right hand, and his finger touched the Shenfeng acupoint on his chest.Zhang Zhaozhong had a severe chest pain, and immediately coughed continuously, he stretched out his hand to push the uterus on the left chest to catch the blood, and the coughing stopped.Yuan Shixiao smiled and said, "How?" Everyone saw that his body was moving slightly, his fingers trembled and he hit the opponent's acupoints, his kung fu is really unfathomable, everyone was shocked. Zhang Zhaozhong's expression was depressed, he didn't dare to be stubborn anymore, and said: "I will follow Yuan Daxia's orders." Chen Zhengde said: "Your martial arts are considered top-notch in the martial arts world. Please teach me, Your Excellency Wan'er." Zhang Zhaozhong said: " My surname is Zhang and my name is Zhaozhong. I dare not ask the three of you for advice." Chen Zhengde said: "Ah, it turns out to be the judge of the fire hand. Brother Yuan, he is the younger brother of Daoist Ma Zhen." Yuan Shixiao nodded and said: "Well, his senior brother is not as good as him. Let's go Go." Take the lead and gallop forward. There were quite a few horses among the llama herd, Zhang Zhaozhong and Hahetai picked two to ride, and the six of them led the livestock team and followed Yuan Shixiao.After walking for a while, Zhang Zhaozhong asked Chen Zhengde, "Old man, there are a lot of wolves, how can we catch them?"Chen Zhengde said: "Look at Yuan Daxia's gestures and actions, what's so scary about a few little wolves, they are really useless." Zhang Zhaozhong stopped asking, thinking that since he is so sure, am I showing weakness to him?In fact, Chen Zhengde didn't know how Yuan Shixiao caught wolves, but he was just talking nonsense old-fashionedly. Thinking of the ferocity of wolves, he really felt terrified.Knowing that he was bluffing, Guan Mingmei secretly laughed. After running for a while, Yuan Shizhen turned his horse's head around and said to the crowd: "The wolf dung here is very fresh. The wolves have passed by not long ago. It seems that we can meet these evil spirits more than twenty miles to the west. After ten miles, Everyone, change your mount." Everyone nodded in agreement.Yuan Shixiao said again: "When the wolves are caught up, I will lead the way first. Three of you six are on the left, and three are on the right. Keep the camels in the middle, and don't let the wolves escape in disorder, so as not to disperse the wolves." Teng Yilei When he was about to ask for details, Yuan Shixiao had already turned his head forward. Everyone drove eighteen or nine miles, and the wolf dung became more and more wet.Guan Mingmei said: "The pack of wolves is ahead. Why didn't they come after so many camels and horses?" Chen Zhengde said, "This is really strange." After walking for a few miles, the terrain changed abruptly, surrounded by mountains. , a white jade peak rises toweringly in the middle.Tianshan Shuangying has been in the desert for a long time, and has heard all kinds of magical legends about this jade peak. Unexpectedly, today I can see it in person. Yuan Shixiao shouted: "The wolves have entered the maze, everyone whip the camel horse!" Everyone raised their whips and whipped the camel horse, and the camel honked and neighed loudly.Not long after, a big bad wolf ran out from the mountains. Yuan Shixiao swung his long whip, slapped it in the air, yelled loudly, and galloped southward on his horse.The Tianshan Shuangying, Zhang Zhaozhong, and the Guandong Three Demons led a large group of camels and followed behind.After running for several miles, the sound of wolves howling behind them was loud.Chen Zhengde looked back, only to see a dusty area, and tens of thousands of hungry wolves chasing after them with open teeth and claws.He galloped up to catch up with Zhang Zhaozhong and the Three Demons of the East, and saw that although the four of them tried to calm down, they all had ashen faces.Hahetai's eyes were about to drop blood, he yelled wildly and urged the camel horse.He was a herdsman, and he was familiar with camel horses. Several camel horses wanted to leave the group and run away, but he either yelled at them or whipped them.Guan Mingmei praised: "Brother Ha, what a skill!" Although the wolves were fierce and tenacious, they were not strong enough to run. After more than ten miles, they were all gone.After riding for more than ten miles, Yuan Shixiao shouted: "Let's rest for a while!" Everyone got off their horses to drink water and eat meat.Hahetai drove the camel and horse together.Yuan Shixiao saw that he was very good at restraining the animals, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you." When the wolves approached, the camel horse team had already rested for a while. Stopping and chasing like this, he ran straight south for more than seventy or eighty miles.In front of the place where the dust was rising, two Hui people galloped up and shouted, "Master Yuan, did you succeed?" .Seeing that there was a response in front of them, everyone let go of most of their hearts. Not long after running, I saw a huge circular sand city appearing on the desert.When he approached, he saw that the city wall was more than four feet high, and there was a narrow gate on the wall. Yuan Shixiao took the lead and entered the city gate, followed by Tianshan Shuangying and Hahetai driving a large group of camels and horses.The camel team is almost exhausted, and the pack of wolves has also covered them.Zhang Zhao galloped to the door, hesitated for a moment, pulled the rein of the horse, and walked away from the wall.Seeing this, Teng Yilei and Gu Jinbiao reined in and walked away. Thousands and tens of thousands of hungry wolves rushed into Shacheng, attacking camels and horses.When all the wolves had entered the city, suddenly the hives screamed loudly, and hundreds of returnees were suddenly snatched from the sand ditches on both sides.Everyone carried sandbags on their backs and rushed towards the city gate, throwing sandbags one after another, and within a short while, the gate was blocked. Seeing them applauding and cheering again, Zhang Zhao wondered what happened to the old man.Seeing dozens of Hui people standing on the top of the Shacheng wall, they jumped off their horses and ran up the top of the wall along the steps. They saw all the Hui people holding long ropes and hoisting Yuan Shixiao and four others up.He looked down, startled.The sand city is more than a hundred feet long, and the inner wall is steep and made of sand bricks. The walls are smooth with fine chalk, so smooth that there is no place to stay. , biting and howling, bleeding everywhere. Yuan Shixiao and Tianshan Shuangying stood on the top of the wall, laughing loudly, extremely proud.Chen Zhengde said: "The wolves have harmed the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, killing people is useless, and it has been difficult to get rid of them for hundreds of years. Brother Yuan wiped them out in one fell swoop, and this great merit will benefit the world. The real hero is to eliminate harm for the people." Yuan Shixiao He said: "We have eaten the old Hui brothers here for decades, and today we finally have a little repayment." Then he said: "If not for the concerted efforts of everyone, how can I do it alone? In this sand city alone, more than 3,000 people It took half a year to build. You guys helped a lot today." Guan Mingmei said: "It will take a long time before these wolves starve to death." Yuan Shixiao said: "Isn't it? There are so many Camel, let these beasts have a full meal first." All the people cheered loudly and sang to celebrate.Several leaders even expressed their thanks to Yuan Shixiao and others, and offered mutton and kumiss to entertain them.The leader Huiren said: "Cuiyu Huangshan is besieging the Qing soldiers in Heishui, and we are besieging the wolves here. The wolf is already in ambush, everyone will help her..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Zhang Zhaozhong standing In the distance, he was dressed as an upright official, so he was very puzzled, but since he and Yuan Shixiao came to kill wolves together, he didn't ask any more questions. Chen Zhengde said: "Brother Yuan, I have to say something, don't be offended." Yuan Shixiao said with a smile: "Ha, you have learned to be polite when you are old." Chen Zhengde said: "Your apprentice's character is too bad. You have to be disciplined." Yuan Shixiao was stunned for a moment, and said: "What? Jialuo?" Chen Zhengde said: "Not bad!" Pulling him aside, Chen Jialuo first deceived Huo Qingtong's heart, and later he fell in love with his sister thing said.Yuan Shixiao said angrily: "Jialuo is very loyal, there is absolutely no such thing." Guan Mingmei said: "We saw that with our own eyes." He told how he met Chen Jialuo and Princess Xiangxiang. ' Yuan Shixiao was stunned for a long while, unable to believe it, he was so angry that he shouted: "I was entrusted by his adoptive father to raise him from a young age. How could I know that his character is so despicable. How will I see my elder brother in the future?" Guan Mingmei saw He was furious and bitter, with tears in his eyes, he was extremely sad and disappointed in his heart, and was about to speak out to persuade him, Yuan Shixiao shouted: "Let's go and confront these three people, I will never allow him to bully his heart." Guan Mingmei said in a low voice: "It's best for everyone to speak clearly in person. Don't keep your words in your heart. If you hold back your words for decades, you will harm others and yourself." For decades, he has regretted day and night that he was so impulsive when he was a teenager, so that a good couple could not become a family. Although Guan Mingmei in front of him is full of white hair, what he sees in his heart is still her bright eyes and white teeth when she was eighteen or nineteen years old. , Wayward and coquettish big girl.He looked into the distance and sighed: "We can still meet today, and I am already satisfied. This life is finally worthwhile." Guan Mingmei looked at the sun that was gradually sinking on the edge of the desert, and said slowly: "Everything is based on fate. I used to be very uncomfortable, but recently I suddenly feel happy." Reaching out her hand, she put a loose button on Chen Zhengde's coat After buttoning it, he said again: "A person enjoys blessings every day, but he doesn't know that this is a blessing. He always thinks about things that are out of reach in the sky, and he doesn't know that the most precious treasure is by his side. Now I understand." Chen Zhengde With a flushed face and a radiant look, he looked at his wife. Guan Mingmei walked to Yuan Shixiao's side, and said softly: "Torturing myself alone for decades, any crime should be atoned for, and there is no crime at all. I am very happy, so don't torture yourself anymore!" Yuan Shixiao didn't dare to turn his head back, so he jumped on his horse suddenly and said, "Let's go find them!" Tianshan Shuangying followed on horseback. Seeing the formidable enemy leaving again, Zhang Zhao's spirits immediately lifted.The emperor sent him to look for Chen Jialuo and Princess Xiangxiang. I don't know if the two are anointed with Langkiss, so they must go and check for confirmation so that they can play back.He thought: "If the boy surnamed Chen and these two women are eaten by wolves, there is nothing to say. If he is still alive, that boy's martial arts is only slightly inferior to mine. If Huo Qingtong helps me, I will be defeated immediately. Or It would be better to get these three demons to go together." Then they pulled Gu Jinbiao's sleeves, and the two walked away a few steps.Zhang Zhaozhong said in a low voice: "Second Brother Gu, do you miss your beauty?" Gu Jinbiao only said that he was ridiculing, and said angrily, "What do you do?" Zhang Zhaozhong said, "I have a grudge against that boy surnamed Chen. Go and kill him, as if you were going, the beauty is yours." Gu Jinbiao hesitated and said, "I'm afraid these three people have already been eaten by wolves... Boss doesn't know if he is willing to go?" Zhang Zhaozhong said: "If the wolves If you eat it, it’s your bad luck. Are you the boss, I’ll go and tell him.” Gu Jinbiao nodded, thinking: “The boss is not a womanizer, so I might not be willing to go with him.” Zhang Zhaozhong walked up to Teng Yilei and said, "Brother Teng, I'm going to settle accounts with that kid surnamed Chen. If you are willing to help, his short sword will be yours." Such a treasure, who doesn't love martial arts ?Teng Yilei thought: Even if Chen Jialuo was buried in the belly of a wolf, he would never be able to eat the dagger, so he agreed immediately.Zhang Zhao was overjoyed, only to hear Teng Yilei shout: "Fourth brother, let's go." Hahetai was on the top of the Shacheng wall, happily talking about wolves with all the Hui people, and when the boss called, he turned his head and shouted: "Where are you going?" Teng Yilei said, "Go to the head of the Red Flower Society Chen and the others. If their bones are not eaten up, we will bury them. It will be considered as an acquaintance for everyone." After getting acquainted with Chen Jialuo, he admired the members of the Red Flower Society very much. Hearing that Teng Yilei said that he was going to bury Chen Jialuo, he agreed.At that moment, the four of them begged for dry food and water from the Muslims, mounted their horses and headed north, following the same route. In the middle of the night, Teng Yilei wanted to sleep on the spot, but Zhang Zhaozhong and Gu Jinbiao insisted on traveling overnight.After walking for a while, the bright moon was shining in the sky, shining like daytime, when suddenly a figure flashed by the roadside and got into a large stone tomb.The four became suspicious and rode their horses to the grave.Zhang Zhaozhong shouted and asked: "Who is it?" After a while, the head of a Hui man wearing a flower hat poked out from the hole in the tomb, he smiled and said, "I am the dead man in this tomb!" He spoke Chinese, and the four of them couldn't help but startled jumped.Gu Jinbiao shouted: "It's a dead person, why come out this night?" The man said: "Come out to relax." Gu Jinbiao said angrily: "A dead person wants to relax?" The man nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, everyone is right. Forget it I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He retracted his head as he said.Hahetai laughed out loud.Gu Jinbiao was furious, got off his horse and reached into the grave, trying to drag him out, but he couldn't find him after groping. Zhang Zhaozhong said: "Second Brother Gu, ignore him, let's go!" The four of them turned their horses around and were about to leave when they suddenly saw a thin and small donkey chewing grass by the grave.Gu Jinbiao said happily: "I'm so tired of eating dry food, but roasted donkey meat is not bad! As the saying goes: Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat in the ground." He rode on the horse, stretched out his hand to hold the rein, and saw that the donkey's buttocks were bare and had no tail. He laughed and said, "I don't know who cut off the donkey's tail first and ate it..." Before the words were finished, there was a whoosh, and there was another person on the donkey's back. Under the moonlight, it was clear that it was the person who got into the grave just now.He was so fast, in a flash, he came out of the grave and flew onto the donkey's back.The four of them didn't dare to take it lightly, they hurriedly reined in their horses and retreated.The man laughed loudly, took out a donkey's tail from his pocket, shook it twice, and said: "The donkey's tail was covered with a lot of mud today, it's not very good-looking, so I cut it off." Zhang Zhao saw that this man was full of beards, crazy, he didn't know what his path was, but just now he was very quick on the donkey.As soon as he lifted the rein, the mount passed by the donkey quickly, and swung his right hand to hit him on the shoulder.As soon as the man dodged, Zhang Zhaozhong snatched the donkey's tail with his left hand, and saw that the donkey's tail was indeed covered with mud, suddenly his head felt cold, he stretched out his hand to touch it, but the hat was gone.I saw the man holding the hat and said with a smile: "You are an officer of the Qing army, come to beat us back. This hat is very beautiful, with bird feathers and glass balls." Shocked and angry, Zhang Zhaozhong threw the donkey's tail over, and the man stretched out his hand to catch it.Zhang Zhaozhong swung his palms together, jumped off the horse, and shouted, "Who are you? Come, come, let's compare pictures!" The man put Zhang Zhaozhong's official hat on the donkey's head, clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and shouted: "The stupid donkey wears the official hat, the stupid donkey wears the official hat!" Clamping his legs, the donkey rushed forward.Zhang Zhaozhong hurried forward, suddenly heard a whistling sound, the wind was strong, a hidden weapon was thrown, he immediately reached out to catch it, cold and smooth, it was the sapphire crown on his official hat, he was even more furious.With just such a resistance, the donkey had already gone away, and immediately picked up a stone and threw it at the back of his heart. The man didn't dodge, Zhang Zhao was overjoyed, thinking that this will be something you can bear.There was only a bang, the stone hit an iron object, and the buzzing sound was endless, as if it had hit a musical instrument such as iron cymbals and gongs.The man yelled loudly: "Ah, you killed my iron pot, it's terrible, the iron pot must be dead." The flashing man faced each other in astonishment, but the man went far away.Zhang Zhaozhong cursed angrily: "I don't know if this guy is a human or a ghost?" The three demons shook their heads and remained silent.Zhang Zhaozhong said: "Let's go, this ghost place is really evil, there are all kinds of monsters." The four drove their horses at a gallop, slept for two hours on the way, and arrived outside the Lost City early the next morning.Although there were surprisingly many forked roads, the wolf dung scattered along the way was an excellent guide. Following the wolf dung and beast trails, to the front of Baiyu Peak, when you looked up, you saw the cave dug by Chen Jialuo.
Chen Jialuo slept until midnight and regained his energy.A ray of moonlight shone in from the crevice in the mountain, and Huo Qingtong and Princess Xiangxiang were reclined on the white jade chairs and fell asleep. In the quiet night, they heard the sound of their breathing.The stone room is filled with a faint fragrance, the fragrance of flowers is not so rich, the musk is not so quiet, it is the strange fragrance of Princess Xiangxiang. His thoughts fluctuated: I don't know what the pack of wolves outside the peak looks like now, can the three of us get out of danger?After escaping from danger, the emperor's brother didn't know whether he could keep the promise of the alliance and drive the Manchurian Hulu out of the pass? Suddenly, Princess Xiangxiang sighed softly, and the sigh was full of joy and joy. Chen Jialuo thought: "She is in a dangerous place, but she is so at ease. What is the reason? Naturally, she believes that I will be able to take her with me." Out of danger, I have cared for and cherished her for the rest of my life.” "Who is the one I really love in my heart?" This thought has been lingering in my heart for a moment these days, and I suddenly thought: "Then who is the one who really loves me? If I die, Kasili will definitely not live, Huo But Qingtong can survive. However, this does not mean that Kasili loves me more... When I competed with the Hulungang brothers, Huo Qingtong was anxious and worried, tried to dissuade me, and loved me very much. Her sister did not She doesn't care, because she firmly believes that I will win. When she met Zhang Zhaozhong that day, she smiled and said that when I defeat this person and go together, she thinks I am the most capable person in the world... If only Huo Qingtong and I get back together, Cass Li will die of grief. She is so pure-hearted, how can I not cherish her?" Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling sad, and thought again: "We have made it clear to each other that she loves me, and I love her too. As for Huo Qingtong, I never said that. Huo Qingtong is so capable, I respect her , I’m even a little afraid of her... No matter what she asks me to do, I will do it. What about Kassar? What about Kasli?... Even if she wants me to die, I will happily die for her... ...Then don't I love Huo Qingtong? Alas, I don't understand myself, she is so capable and smart, and she loves me so deeply. She vomited blood and fell ill, almost lost her body and died, isn't it all because of me?" One is respectful and sensible, and the other is amiable and cute. It is really hard to distinguish the importance. At this moment, the moonlight gradually shone on Huo Qingtong's face. Seeing her haggard face, Chen Jialuo became paler under the moonlight, and thought: "Although we have never poured out our feelings to each other, even though I just fell in love with her, I immediately felt that she was so pale because of that girl." Li Yuanzhi, who disguised as a man, disturbed me, which changed my mood, but I traveled thousands of miles to report the news, wasn't it because I loved her? Did she give me a short sword just to repay my virtue? Although we didn't I have said a single word, but what is the difference between this and pouring out thousands of words?" Then I thought: "In the future, to restore the Han industry, I don't know how many complicated and difficult things will happen. Her strategy is better than the seventh brother. If you can get her help, I have benefited a lot. But... um, deep down in my heart, do I not like that she is too capable? Yes, I respect her more than I love her, and I am a little afraid of her in my heart." Thinking of this, I was heartbroken , said softly: "Chen Jialuo, Chen Jialuo, are you so small-minded?" After more than half an hour, the moonlight slowly shifted to Princess Xiangxiang, and he said in his heart: "Being with Kasili, I can only be happy, happy, happy..." I thought again: "After Yingyue in the Three Pools of the West Lake and Li Yunzhi fought, I knew clearly that she was a woman. After that, I had a deep-rooted love for Kasili, and there was only uncontrollable ecstasy , I never thought that this would be an excuse to lose to Huo Qingtong. Chen Jialuo, you have a small heart and change your mind, that's it, how can you justify your own bad virtue?" He opened his eyes wide and looked at the ray of skylight above his head for a long, long time. He saw the moonlight fading and the sun slanting, and the room slowly brightened.Princess Xiangxiang yawned and woke up, opened half of her eyes to look at him, smiled slightly, her complexion was like a little flower that just bloomed. She sat up slowly, and suddenly said in surprise: "Listen!" Only the footsteps of several people could be heard faintly from the corridor outside.How can anyone walk in this ancient palace that has been around for thousands of years?Is there really a ghost?I could only hear the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. Although they were far away, I could hear clearly step by step in the silence.The hairs of the two stood on end, and they were both stunned.Chen Jialuo pulled Huo Qingtong's arm, and she woke up from her dream.The three rushed out. Rushing to the main hall, Chen Jialuo picked up three jade swords, one in each hand, and said in a low voice: "Jade can ward off evil spirits." At this time, footsteps had already reached outside the hall.The three of them hid in the dark, not daring to move a little.I saw the flames flickering, and four people walked in.The first two were holding torches, but it was Zhang Zhaozhong and Gu Jinbiao. Suddenly, at the sound of Dangcang and Dangcang, Zhang Zhaozhong and the other four flew out of their hands and landed on the ground.Teng Yilei's single-legged bronze entwined with steel was trembling in his hands, but the twelve steel darts in the dart bag shot out. Chen Jialuo knew that this opportunity must not be missed, and when they were stunned and panicked, he shouted loudly and jumped out from the darkness with a jade sword in his hand. With two slaps of the sword, the torches in the hands of Zhang and Gu were knocked down, and the hall was completely dark .Zhang Zhaozhong protected his body with both palms, turned around and ran out.The Three Demons of the Eastern Kanto followed, only to hear a bang and another "Ah Yo", someone bumped his head hard on the stone wall.The footsteps of the four people gradually faded away, and Huo Qingtong suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, no, chase, chase!" Chen Jialuo woke up immediately, groped and chased out, the south road was not finished yet, only the sound of chirping , and then there was a loud bang, and the stone door was closed.Chen Jialuo flew towards him, but he was finally one step too late. How could he open the bare hands behind the stone gate? Huo Qingtong and Princess Xiangxiang rushed over one after another.Chen Jialuo turned around, picked up a piece of wood and lit it, but saw that the stone gate was full of marks from the knives and axes, all of which were the remains of the bones underground who struggled desperately during their lifetime.Huo Qingtong said sadly: "It's over!" Princess Xiangxiang took her hand and said: "Sister, don't be afraid!" Chen Jialuo forced himself to laugh: "It's really strange that the three of us were sent here by mistake." I don't know Why, I suddenly felt a burst of relief in my heart, as if a difficult problem had been solved, like a heavy burden.Picking up a skull from the ground, he said, "Dude, buddy, you have three new friends." Princess Xiangxiang snorted and laughed.Huo Qingtong gave the two of them a blank look, and after a while, said: "Let's go back to Yushi, calm down and think about it." The three of them returned to Yushi.Huo Qingtong leaned over and prayed, then took out the writing paper and the map to review and think hard.Chen Jialuo knew that he was in this desperate situation, if he could get out, either foreign aid came, or Zhang Zhaozhong and others changed their minds and came in to arrest him.But this place is so secretive, how can foreign aid get there?But Zhang Zhaozhong and others were frightened just now, Nineteen dared not come in to take risks. Princess Xiangxiang suddenly felt sleepy, she sat reclined on the white jade chair, and sang softly.Huo Qingtong didn't seem to hear her singing at all.He held his head in his hands, frowning in a daze.Princess Xiangxiang sang for a while, stopped singing, and said, "Sister, take a break!" Standing up, she walked to the side of Baiyu's bed, and said to the skeleton lying on the bed, "I'm sorry. Lah, please move a little bit and give my sister a rest!" Gently gathered the skeletons in a pile, pushed them to the corner of the bed, suddenly let out a "huh", picked up a roll of things, said: " what is this?" Chen Jialuo and Huo Qingtong took a closer look, and saw that it was a sheepskin booklet, which had turned black with age, and the edges were already moldy. When exposed to the sun, the book was filled with handwriting, all in ancient palindrome.Although the sheepskin is black, the writing is even darker and still legible.Huo Qingtong flipped through a few pages, pointed to the bones on the bed, and said: "This woman wrote it with blood before she died. Her name is Mamier." Chen Jialuo said: "Mamier?" Princess Xiangxiang said: " That means 'very beautiful'. The beauty in our jade vase painting is her. We also have her portrait on our murals and carpets." Huo Qingtong said: "Everyone says that the portrait on the jade vase is It's a bit like Casley. This Mameer is a great heroine in our clan." Huo Qingtong put down the parchment and went to look at the map carefully.Chen Jialuo said: "Could it be that there is another way out on the map?" Huo Qingtong said: "It seems that there is a secret passage somewhere, but I just can't figure it out." Chen Jialuo sighed, and said to Princess Xiangxiang: "You take this Translate Miss Mameer’s suicide note for me, okay?” Princess Xiangxiang nodded, and began to read softly: “Tens of thousands of people in the city have died, and the guards of the tyrant and the warriors of Islam in Shenfeng are all dead. dead. My Ali has gone to Allah, and his Mamil is going. I write our story here, so that the sons of Allah will know in the future, whether it is victory or defeat, we warriors of Islam fight In the end, never give in!" Chen Jialuo said: "It turns out that this girl is not only beautiful, but also brave." Princess Xiangxiang continued to read: "The tyrant Longa oppressed us for ten years. During these forty years, he conscripted tens of millions of people to build him this lost city and dug a palace in the sacred peak. These people were all killed by him. He died Afterwards, his son Sangrabah was even more vicious than him. Muslims raise ten sheep and give him a head every year, and five camels and give him two every year. We are getting poorer every year. Which family has a beautiful Girl, just drag him into the lost city. After entering the lost city, no one can come out alive. "We are the heroic children taught by the Holy Prophet. Can we be oppressed by these pagans? Of course not! In the past twenty years, our soldiers have attacked the lost city five times, but they always couldn't get out because they didn't know the way. Two The last time we attacked Shenfeng, the tyrant Sangrabha used some kind of magic to take away the swords and swords of our soldiers, and finally his guards killed not a single one left." 陈家洛道：“那就是大殿下这座磁山作怪了。”香香公主点点头，接着念下去： “这一年，我刚十八岁，我爸爸妈妈都给桑拉巴手下的人杀了，我哥哥做了伊斯兰教徒的族长。春天，我遇见了阿里。他是我族里的英雄。他杀死过三头老虎，群狼见了他就四散奔逃，天山顶上的兀鹰吓得不敢下来。他抵得过十个好汉，不，抵得过一百个。他的眼睛像麋鹿那样温柔，他的身体像鲜花那样美丽，可是他的威武却像沙漠中刮的大风……” 陈家洛笑道：“这位姑娘喜欢夸大，把她意中人说得这么了不起。”香香公主神色端严，向他瞧了一眼，道：“为什么说她夸大？难道没这样的人么？”又念下去：“阿里来到我们帐里，和我哥哥商量攻打迷城。他得到了一部汉人写的竹片书，他想了一年，想出了武功的道理，就算空手没有刀剑，也能把桑拉巴的武士们打死。于是他招了五百个勇士，把他想到的道理教给他们，他们又练了一年。这时我已经是阿里的人了。我第一眼见到他，就是他的了。他是我的心，是我的鲜血，是我的容貌。他对我说，他一见了我，就知道这次一定能够打胜。他们练好了武功，可是不知道迷城的路径，更加不知道神峰里的秘密。阿里和我哥哥商量了十天十夜，没有法子。因为外面的人一走进迷城，就给他们杀了。没一个人能活着出来。大伙儿一起又商量了十天十夜，仍然没有法子。本事再大，再勇敢，进不了迷城，总是一场空。 “我说：'哥哥啊，让我去吧！'他们知道我说的是什么意思。阿里是大勇士，但他忽然流下泪来。于是我带了一百头山羊，在迷城外面放牧。第四天上，桑拉巴手下的人就把我捉去献给了他。我哭了三天三夜才顺从他。他很喜欢我，我要什么就给我什么。” 陈家洛听到这里，对这位古代姑娘不禁肃然起敬。心想她以一个十八岁的姑娘，竟能牺牲自己，真是了不起，而能牺牲宝贵的爱情，那是更加的了不起。只听香香公主又念道：“起初，桑拉巴不许我走出房门一步，但是他越来越喜欢我了。我每天想念我们的人，想念在大草原中放羊唱歌，那真是快活。我最想念的，是我的阿里。桑拉巴见我一天一天地憔悴瘦弱，问我要什么。我说要到各处去逛逛。他忽然大怒，打了我一掌，于是我有七个白天不跟他说话，有七个黑夜不向他笑。第八天上，他带我出去了，以后每隔三天，他带我出去一次，先在迷城各处玩，后来甚至到了迷城的口子上。我把每一条道路都记得清清楚楚，我知道了迷城道路'左三右二'的道理。最后，就算我瞎了眼睛，也能在迷城各处来去，不会迷路了。这花了大半年时光，我想哥哥和阿里一定已等得很不耐烦，可是我还没知道神峰的秘密，后来，我肚子里有了孩子，那是桑拉巴的孽种。他很喜欢，我却恨得每天哭泣。他问我要什么，我说：'我给你怀了孩子，但是你一点也不爱我。'他说：'我不爱你？你要什么东西，难道我不肯给你么？你要大海底下的红珊瑚呢，还是南方的蓝宝石？'我说：'人家说，你有一座翡翠池，美丽的人在池里冼了澡更加美，丑的人洗了就更加丑。' “他的脸苍白了，声音颤抖了，问我是谁说的。我骗他说我做了个梦，是神仙说的。其实，我也不知道是不是真的有翡翠池，不过宫里的女人都这样偷偷地说，桑拉巴从来不准谁看到，连说也不许说。他说：'去洗澡是可以的，不过淮见到这池子之后，就得把舌头割掉，以免把秘密说了出去，这是祖宗定下的规矩。'他求我别去，我一定要去。我说：'你心里一定以为我很丑，我在翡翠池洗了澡，你怕我更加丑了。'从此我不跟他说话，又不对他笑，终于他带我去了。 “到这翡翠池，要从神峰的宫殿里经过。我身上带了一把小刀，想在翡翠池中刺死他。因为宫里到处都有凶恶的卫士守卫，翡翠池四周却一个人也没有。可是小刀给大殿底下的磁山收去了。我洗了澡后，不知道是不是真的更加美丽些，不过他是更爱我了。但他还是割去了我的一段舌头，怕我把秘密说出去。我没有死，后来伤好了，知道了一切，但没法去告诉哥哥和阿里。 “我日日夜夜向真主祈祷，真主终于听见了他可怜女儿的心声。真主赐给了我聪明智慧。桑拉巴有一把短剑，佩在身上从不离开。这柄短剑有两层鞘子，里面一层鞘子就像是一把剑一般。我向他讨了来。我详细写明了走进迷城的路径，又画了一张迷城的地图，把进出的通道仔仔细细地画在上面，我把地图封在一颗蜡丸里，藏在第二层剑鞘里面。在我生了孩子的第三个月，他带我出去打猎。我乘没人见到，就把短剑丢在迷城外面的腾博湖里。我回来之后，放了许多鹰出去，在鹰脚上都写上了'腾博湖'的名字。” 霍青桐撇下地图，凝神听妹子译读古册： “有几头鹰被桑拉巴手下人射了下来，他们见到'腾博湖'的名字，心想腾博湖很出名，大漠上几岁的孩儿也都知道，因此谁也没起疑心。我知道这许多鹰中，一定会有一两头给我们族里的人捉到，哥哥和阿里就会到腾博湖中去仔细找寻，就会知道迷城的路径。 “唉，哪知道他们虽然找到了短剑，却查不出剑中的秘密，不知道剑鞘中另有剑鞘。哥哥和阿里说，我送这把剑出来，定是叫他们进攻，去杀暴君桑拉巴。他们就攻了进来。大部分勇士都迷了路，转来转去永远没能出来。我的哥哥，我那力气比两头骆驼还要大的哥哥，就这样迷失了。阿里和其余勇士捉到了一个桑拉巴的手下，迫着他带路，攻进了神峰。在大殿上，他们的刀剑都被磁山收了去，桑拉巴的武士拿玉刀玉剑来杀他们。然而阿里和他的勇士学会了本事，虽然空手，仍是一个个地和他们一起战死。桑拉巴见他手下的武士都死了，阿里又紧紧追着他，就逃进玉室来，想带我从翡翠池旁逃出去……” 霍青桐跳了起来，叫道：“啊，他们从翡翠池旁逃出去。”香香公主念道： “阿里追了上来，我一见到他，忍不住就扑上去。我们抱在一起，他用许多好听的名字来叫我。我的舌头少了一截，不能还叫他，可是他懂得我心里的声音。那卑鄙的桑拉巴，可恶的桑拉巴，比一千个魔鬼还要坏一万倍的桑拉巴，突然从后面一斧……” 香香公主念到这里，情不自禁地尖叫一声，把羊皮古册丢在床上，满脸惊惧之色。 霍青桐轻轻拍她肩头，捡起古册，继续译念下去： “……从后面一斧，将我的阿里的头砍成了两半，他的血溅在我身上。桑拉巴从床上抱起孩子，放在我手里，叫道”咱们快走！'我举起那个孽种，用力往地下一摔，他就死在阿里的鲜血堆里。桑拉巴见我摔死了自己的儿子，惊得呆了，举起了黄金的斧头，我伸长了头颈让他砍，他忽然叹了口气，从来路冲了出去。 “阿里到了真主身旁，我也要跟他去。我们的勇士很多，桑拉巴的武士都被我们杀光了，他一定也活不成。他永远不能再来欺压我们伊斯兰教徒。他儿子给我摔死了，他的后代也不能来欺压我们，因为他没后代了。以后我们的人就能在沙漠上草原上平安过活，年轻姑娘可以躺在她心爱的入怀里唱歌。我哥哥、阿里和我都死了，可是我们已打败了暴君。暴君的堡垒造得再嗒固，我们还是能够攻破。愿真神安拉佑护我们的族人。” 霍青桐念到最后一个字，缓缓把古册掩上，三人深为玛米儿的勇敢和贞烈所感动，很久说不出话来。香香公主眼中都是泪水，叹道：“为了使大家不受暴君的欺侮，她竟背离开像自己心肝一样的人，她愿意舌头给割掉，还亲手摔死自己的儿子……” 陈家洛陡然一惊，身上冷汗直冒，心想：“比起这位古代的姑娘来，我实是可耻极矣。我身系汉家光复大业的成败，心中所想的却只是一己的情欲爱恋。我不去筹划如何驱逐胡虏，还我河山，却在为爱姊姊还是爱妹妹而纠缠不清……我曾逞血气之勇，亲送喀丝丽到清兵营中，全不想万一失手，岂非误了光复大事？现今又陷身这山腹之中。我死不足惜，可是怎对得起红花会数万弟兄，怎对得起天下在鞑子铁蹄下受苦受难的父老兄弟姊妹？”越想越是难受，额头汗水涔涔而下。 香香公主见他神色有异，掏出手帕来给他抹去汗水。陈家洛手一格，推开了手帕。香香公主见他忽现厌恶之色，不禁错愕。陈家洛一定神，登时心软，接过她手帕抹汗，打定了主意：“光复大业成功之前，我决不再理会自己的情爱坐缘，她两姊妹从今而后都是我的好朋友，都是我的妹子。”拔出短剑，一剑插入圆桌的桌面，立觉神清气爽，连日来的烦恼一扫而空。香香公主见他脸有喜色，这才放心。 这一切霍青桐却如不闻不见，她又再细肴字纸地图，揣摸古册中所写的语句，沉吟道：“这遗书中说，桑拉巴来到这玉室，要和她一起逃到翡翠池边去，然而这玉室已是尽头，再无通路……后来桑拉巴并没逃出去，仍然从原路杀回。想来他有异常勇力，伊斯兰勇士们挡他不住，被他冲出大门，把伊斯兰战士都关在里面，一直到死……不过地图上明明画着，另有通道通到池边……” 陈家洛心中不再受爱欲羁绊，头脑立时清明，叫道：“如有通道，必在这玉室之中。”想起在杭州提督府地道中救文泰来时，张召重曾从墙七密门逸脱，于是点起火把，在玉室壁上细看有无缝隙，上下闪周都照遍了，并无发现。霍青桐查察玉床，也不见有何异状。陈家洛又想起文泰来所述在铁胆庄中被捕之事，叫道：“难道桌子底下另有地道？”运起内力在圆桌桌面下一抬，石桌纹丝不动，喜道：“定是桌子有古怪。”依他内力，就算石桌有千斤之重，这一抬之下也必稍动，但看那石桌又无特异之处，不论横推直拉，桌脚始终便如钉牢在地下一般。霍青桐拿火把到桌脚下一照，心中登时凉了，原来圆桌是整块从玉石中雕刻出来的，连在地上，自然抬不动了。 三人劳顿半天，毫无结果，肚子却饿了。香香公主拿出腌羊肉和干粮，大家吃一些，靠在椅上养神。 过了大半个时辰，日光渐正，射到了圆桌桌面。香香公主忽道：“啊，桌上还刻着花纹。”走近细看，见刻的是一群背上生翅的飞骆驼，花纹极细，日光不正射时全然瞧不出来。刻工甚是精致，然而骆驼的头和身子却并不连在一起，各自离开了一尺多位置。她忍不住拿住圆桌边缘，自右至左一扳，圆桌的边缘与桌心原来分为两截，可以移动，但扳得寸许便不动了。陈家洛和霍青桐一齐使力，慢慢把边缘扳将过去，使得刻在桌缘一圈的骆驼头与刻在桌心的骆驼身子连成一体，刚刚凑合，只听轧轧连声，玉床上出现了一个大洞，下面是一道梯级。三人又惊又喜，齐声大叫。 陈家洛举起火把，当先进入，两人跟在后面。转了四五个弯，再走十多丈路，前面豁然开朗，竟是一大片平地。四周群山围绕，就如一只大盆一般，盆子中心碧水莹然，绿若翡翠，是个圆形的池子。隔了这千百年，竟然并不干涸，想来池底另有活水源头。 三人见了这奇丽的景色，惊喜无已。霍青桐笑道：“喀丝丽，遗书上说，美丽的人下池冼澡，可以更加美丽，你去洗一下吧。”香香公主红了脸，笑道：“姊姊年纪大先洗。”霍青桐笑道：“啊喚，我可越洗越丑啦。”香香公主转头对陈家洛道：“你评评这个理。姊姊欺侮人，说她自己不美。”陈家洛微笑不语。霍青桐道：“喀丝丽，你到底洗不洗？”香香公主摇摇头。霍青桐走近池边，伸下手去，只觉清凉入骨，双手捧起水来，俏见澄净清澈，更无纤毫苔泥，原来圆池四周都是翡翠，池水才映成绿色。就口而饮，甘美沁人心脾。三人喝了个饱，只见洁白的玉峰映在碧绿的池中，白中泛绿，绿中泛白，明艳洁净，幽绝清绝。香香公主伸手玩水，不肯离开。 霍青桐道：“现下要想法子怎生避开外面那四个恶鬼。”陈家洛道：“咱们先把玛米儿的遗骨拿出来葬在池边，好吗？”香香公主拍手叫好，又道：“最好把她的阿里和她葬在一起。”陈家洛道：“好，想来玉室角落里的就是阿里的遗骨。” 三人重回到玉室，捡起骸骨，只见阿里的骸骨旁有一捆竹简。陈家洛提了起来，穿竹简的皮带已经烂断，竹简一提就散成片片，见简上涂了黑漆，简身仍属完整，简上用朱漆写着密密的汉字。 陈家洛心头一喜，却见头一句是“北冥有鱼，其名为鲲”，翻简看下去，见一篇篇都是。他初时还道是什么奇书，这却是从小就背熟了的，不禁颇感失望。 香香公主问道：“那是什么呀？”陈家洛道：“是我们汉人的古书，这些竹简虽是古董，可是没什么用，只有考古家才喜欢。”随手掷在地上，竹简落下散开，只见中间有一片有些不同，每个字旁加了密密圈点，还写着几个古回文。陈家洛捡了起来，见是第三篇《养生主》中“庖丁解牛”那一段，指着回文问香香公主道：“这是些什么字？”香香公主道：“破敌秘诀，都在这里。”陈家洛一怔，问道：“那是什么意思？”霍青桐道：“玛米儿的遗书中说，阿里得到一部汉人的书，想出了空手杀敌之法，难道就是这些竹简？”陈家洛道：“庄子教人达测顿天，跟武功全不相干。”丢下竹简，捧起遗骨走了出来。三人把两副遗骨同穴葬在翡翠池畔的山石地里，祝告施礼。 陈家洛道：“咱们出去吧。那匹白马不知有没逃脱狼口。”香香公主道：“全靠它救了我们性命。它很聪明，又跑得快……”陈家洛想起狼群之凶狠，白马之神骏，不禁恻然。 霍青桐忽问：“那篇说些什么？”陈家洛道：“说一个屠夫杀牛的本事很好，他肩和手的伸缩，脚与膝的进退，刀割的声音，无不因便施巧，合于音乐节拍，举动就像跳舞一般。”香香公主拍手笑道：“那一定很好看。”霍青桐道：“搏击杀敌也能这样就好啦。” 陈家洛一听，顿时呆了。这部书他烂熟于胸，想到时已丝毫不觉新鲜，这时忽被一个从未读过此书的人一提，真所谓茅塞顿开。“庖丁解牛”那一段中的章句，一字字在心中流过：“三年之后，未尝见全牛也。方今之时，臣以神遇而不以目视，官知止而神欲行。依乎天理，批大却，导大窍，因其固然……”再想到：“彼节者有间，而刀刃者无厚，以无厚入有间，恢恢乎其于游刃必有余地矣。……行为迟，动刀甚微，訇然已解，如土委地，提刀而立，为之四顾，为之踌躇满志。”心想：“那庖丁看到的，只是牛身上关节与筋骨之间的空处，那便是有间。牛刀不能斩在筋骨和肌肉上，只要向空处轻轻划过，一条大牛便毫不费力地散成了散块。”又想：“张召重这厮武功中必有破绽，我只消看出他的破绽，那便是有间，手掌微微一动，以无厚人有间，就把那奸贼杀了……”霍青桐姊妹见他突然出神，互相对望了几眼，不知他在想什么。 陈家洛忽道：“你们等我一下！”飞奔入内，隔了良久，仍不出来。两人不放心了，一同进去，只见他喜容满脸，在大殿上的骸骨旁插掌踢足。香香公主大急，以为他神志糊涂了，叫道：“你干吗呀？”陈家洛全然不觉，舞动了一会儿，又呆呆瞪视另一堆骸骨。香香公主叫道：“你别吓人呀，来吧！”只见他依照着一具骸骨的姿势，手足又动了起来，叫道：“有间！”顺着那骸骨的臂骨，斩向敌身。 霍青桐听他在举手投足之中势挟劲风，恍然大悟，原来他是在钻研武功。拉着妹子的手道：“别怕，他没事，咱们在外面等他吧！” 两人回到翡翠池畔，香香公主问道：“姊姊，他在里面干什么呀？”霍青桐道：“想是他看了那些竹简之后，悟到了武功上的奇妙招数，在照着骸骨的姿势研探，咱们别去打扰他。”香香公主点点头，隔了一会，又问：“姊姊，你怎么不也去练？”霍青桐道：“竹简上的汉字很古怪，我不明白，再说，他练的武功很高深，我还不能练。”香香公主叹了一口气，道：“现下我知道了。”霍青桐道：“什么？”香香公主道：“大殿上那许多骸骨，原来生前都会高深武功，他们兵器给磁山吸去之后，就空手和桑拉巴手下的武士对打。”霍青桐道：“对啦。不过这些人也未必武功极好，料来他们学会了几招最厉害的杀手，在紧急关头就打中敌人的要害，和敌人同归于尽。”香香公主道：“唉，这许多人都很勇敢……啊哟，他学来干什么呢？难道也要和敌人同归于尽吗？”崔青桐道：“不，武功好的人，不会和敌人同归于尽的。他定是在钻研这些招数的奇妙之处。” 香香公主微微一笑，道：“那我就放心啦！”望着碧绿的湖水，忽道：“姊姊，咱们一起下去冼澡好么？”霍青桐笑道：“真胡闹。他出来了怎么办？”香香公主笑道：“我真想下去洗澡。”望着清凉的湖水呆呆出神，轻轻地道：“要是我们三个能永远住在这里，那可有多好！”霍青桐怦然心动，满脸晕红，忙仰头瞧着白玉山峰。 等了良久，陈家洛仍不出来。香香公主脱下皮靴，把脚放在水里，将头枕在姊姊腿上，望着天上悠悠白云，慢慢睡着了。
