Chapter 19 The Nineteenth Chapter

At this time, Zhang Zhaozhong and Chen Jialuo were tossing and turning, and they had demolished more than a hundred moves.At the beginning, Chen Jialuo's Hundred Flowers Wrong Fist made repeated moves, and Zhang Zhaozhong couldn't help being discouraged when he was surrounded by powerful enemies. Although he had a weapon in his hand, he didn't dare to advance rashly. Looking for a gap, trying to catch him in one fell swoop, seeing that Lu Feiqing, Luo Bing, Huo Qingtong and others seemed to be holding hidden weapons in their hands, so they guarded the door even more strictly, not daring to reveal the slightest gap, lest others would sneak up on him, so distracted, The two sides were tied.After a few moves, Zhang Zhao thought: "If you continue to consume, what will be the end? Even if you win the opponent, they will fight with me, if they can't kill me, they will drag me to death." At this time, he punched Bai Hua wrongly. The pattern of the sword is roughly familiar, even if the opponent suddenly makes strange moves, he can still deal with it, the courage is strong, and the swordsmanship changes suddenly.

When he unleashes the soft cloud and quick sword, he remembers the first move, "Geng Geng Yinhe" swiftly, and the Ningbi sword slashes horizontally, pointing down like thousands of threads, really like stars in the sky.Chen Jialuo suddenly jumped out of the circle, wanting to avoid his continuous attack before attacking back.Wei Chunhua and Zhang Jinqi rushed towards Zhang Zhaozhong. Ningbi sword "Geng Geng Yinhe" move has not been finished yet, Zhang Zhaozhong didn't stop, swishing two swords, both of Wei Zhang were injured.Wen Tailai yelled fiercely, and was about to move forward with his sword, Chen Jialuo had already passed by him, he saw Zhang Zhaozhong's hand was full of flaws, he lightly struck Zhang Zhaozhong's face with two palms.These two palms didn't appear to be powerful at all, but they were in the right position. No matter whether he lowered his head to dodge or returned the sword to parry, he was too late. He only heard the clear and crisp sound, and he slapped twice.Zhang Zhaozhong was shocked and angry, raised his sword and retreated three steps, glaring.Wei Zhang and the two took the opportunity to retreat, but fortunately neither of them were seriously injured, so Luo Bing and Xin Yan bandaged them respectively.

The crowd surrounded them on all sides to prevent the enemy from getting away.Chen Jialuo swung his palms together and said: "Come on!" Turning his body halfway, he kicked with his right foot.Seeing him again, Zhang Zhao felt a gap in his heart. Seeing this golden opportunity, his men were merciless and stabbed straight with his long sword. Amid the exclamation of the crowd, Chen Jialuo turned around suddenly, his left hand was already holding onto Zhang Zhaozhong's braid, and he pulled the braid on the Ningbi sword, and a big glossy black braid was cut off immediately.Chen Jialuo slapped his right hand, and Zhang Zhaozhong hit the shoulder again.He received three palms in a row, although the force of the palm was not heavy and he was not injured, but with his own martial arts, not only could he fail, but he didn't even see what kind of technique the opponent used. It was even more shameful that his braid was cut off, but he After all, he is a master of the inner family, even if he is defeated, he will take a few steps back and wait for the enemy intently.

Chen Jialuo stepped forward to attack slowly, retreated and turned around, very chic and unrestrained.Huo Qingtong was overjoyed, and said to Princess Xiangxiang: "Look, this is the martial arts he learned in the cave." Princess Xiangxiang clapped her hands and smiled, "It looks so pretty." Chen Jialuozhong patted it with his hand, and Zhang Zhao raised his sword to block it , Chen Jialuo flicked his backhand, and the two fought together again.Zhang Zhaozhong condensed his sword tightly, as soon as the opponent got closer, he immediately counterattacked several times like lightning, and after stabbing, he immediately retracted his sword to defend.

Chen Zhengde said to Yuan Shixiao: "Brother Yuan, I really admire you so much today. Your apprentice is already like this, and a brother is really far away from you." Yuan Shixiao fell silent, bewildered in his heart, Chen Jialuo's kung fu is not only not taught by him, but it has never been seen in the martial arts.He is well-informed and knowledgeable, he can be regarded as one person in the whole country, but he doesn't know which family Chen Jialuo's boxing style is from, it seems that it is not similar to any school.After a while, he said: "I didn't teach it, and I can't teach it." Tianshan Shuangying knew that he had never lied in his life, and this was not a self-effacing speech, he was secretly surprised.

At the beginning of Chen Jialuo's boxing, he still felt unfamiliar and stagnant. After a long time of fighting, his understanding gradually increased. The parts of the ancient Islamic warrior corpses in the Jade Palace clearly flowed through his mind. Clearly, Zhang Zhaozhong knew all the flaws in the moves, and he found flaws to cover up the gaps. After more than a hundred moves, Zhang Zhaozhong was sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked.All of a sudden, Zhang Zhaozhong shouted urgently, his right wrist had been pointed by the enemy, and the sword was out of his hand.Chen Jialuo's left and right palms hit him on the vest, he let out a long laugh, and moved away with his hands down.These two palms are powerful and powerful.Zhang Zhaozhong lowered his head and staggered, as if drunk.

Zhang Jin cursed at the door, and wanted to run up to give him a stick, but was held back by Luo Bing.I saw Zhang Zhaozhong took another few steps, and finally he couldn't stand still, and fell to the ground.The heroes were overjoyed, Xu Tianhong and Xin Yan went up to restrain them.Zhang Zhaozhong's face was pale and he did not resist. When Yu Yutong turned his head to kiss Li Yuanzhi, he saw that she was unconscious and was very anxious.Chen Jialuo said: "Master, Senior Lu, what shall we do with this villain?" Yu Yutong gritted his teeth and said, "Feed it to the wolves, he murdered my master, and now... and..." Yuan Shixiao said He said: "Okay, feed it to the wolves! We are going to see how those hungry wolves are doing." Everyone felt that this traitor had committed a lot of evil, and this execution was what he deserved.

Lu Feiqing aligned the bones on Li Yuanzhi's severed arm, and tied them tightly with cloth strips.Yuan Shixiao gave her another snow ginseng pill, took her pulse, and said to fellow Yu Yu: "Don't worry, your wife won't die." Luo Bing laughed softly: "You hold her, she will recover quickly some." Everyone marched towards the sand city surrounded by wolves, all of them were elated.On the way, Yuan Shixiao asked about the origin of Chen Jialuo's boxing techniques, and Chen Jialuo told him in detail.Yuan Shixiao said happily: "This is really a rare fate that can't be met."

After counting the bars, the crowd came to Shacheng, climbed up the city wall and looked inward, and saw that the pack of wolves had eaten up the camels and horses, and were vying for the corpses of the dead ones. , not surprised.Princess Xiangxiang couldn't bear to look any longer, so she walked down the city wall to talk to the guards. Yu Yutong lifted Zhang Zhaozhong to the top of the Shacheng wall, and secretly prayed: "The spirit of the teacher is in the sky, your friends and disciples will avenge you today." Taking the single sword from Xu Tianhong, he cut off the ropes that bound Zhang Zhaozhong's hands and feet, and swept his right leg across, Kick him off hard.Zhang Ruzhong's legs were sore and weak, unable to resist.Before he could touch the ground, the pack of wolves jumped into the air to grab him.

Zhang Zhaozhong was hit with two palms by Chen Jialuo, and he was seriously injured. Thanks to his deep inner strength, after several days of recuperation, he has recovered a lot, but why Chen Jialuo suddenly made great progress in martial arts, he didn't even have a clue.He was kicked into the city of wolves. He had no hope of surviving, but he had to struggle hard when he was about to die. His legs were about to touch the ground, and seven or eight hungry wolves around him rushed up. His eyes were red, and he stretched out his hands, parting. Grabbing a hungry wolf by the neck, it swept across a circle, immediately forcing the pack of wolves back a few steps.He slowly retreated to the wall, put his back against the wall, and fought in a corner, grabbed two wolves, followed the path of Wudang's double hammer and swung them away.

The heroes knew that he would die, and although they hated him for being treacherous, Chen Jialuo, Luo Bing and others were soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see him, so they walked down the city wall. There were tears in Lu Feiqing's eyes, pity and hatred at the same time, when Zhang Zhaozhong made twenty-four moves of "Broken Golden Hammer", a hungry wolf pounced on him and bit his leg, Mrs. Zhang flinched, Wolf Fang tore off a long strip of cloth from his trousers.Lu Feiqing's mind suddenly flashed the events of more than 40 years ago: that day he and Zhang Zhaozhong secretly went to the foot of the mountain to buy candy without telling the truth from their master.Zhang Zhaozhong cherished his trousers, but was afraid of being scolded by his master, so he burst into tears.He comforted him all the way, and after returning to the mountain, he immediately took the needle and thread to mend the torn pants for his younger brother.I also thought that this set of "broken gold hammer" hammering method was also instructed by myself.At that time, Zhang Zhaozhong was clever and enlightened, diligent in his studies, and his brothers and sisters were like brothers and sisters. Unexpectedly, he was greedy for wealth and honor, and he fell deeper and deeper.Seeing the miserable state of my junior, I couldn't help crying, thinking: "Although he has committed a lot of crimes, I still want to give him a new way to be a good person again." He shouted: "Junior brother, I will save you!" He jumped out and jumped into Wolf City. Everyone shouted in shock, and saw that his feet hadn't touched the ground, the white dragon sword had danced into a closed sword flower, and the wolves retreated one after another. He stood beside Zhang Zhaozhong and said, "Junior brother, don't be afraid." Zhang Zhaozhong lost his mind in an instant , full of resentment, lost all humanity, like a ferocious wolf, suddenly threw the two wolves away from his hands, threw himself on him, hugged him with both hands, and shouted: "Everyone die together, no one will live!" !" Lu Feiqing was caught by surprise, the White Dragon Sword fell to the ground, and his arms were tightly hugged by him, like a steel ring, struggling with all his strength, but Zhang Zhaozhong was so beastly, determined to die with him, hugging him desperately, how could he struggle? open?Seeing the two people rolling on the ground, the pack of wolves pounced on them and bit them.The brothers and sisters use their internal strength to turn each other on top so that he can kiss the wolf first. Chen Jialuo was waiting at the foot of the city wall, and suddenly heard exclamations from the top of the city wall, and hurriedly stepped up the wall.At this time, Lu Feiqing remembered that his good intentions had been badly rewarded, so he became angry, his limbs suddenly became weak, and Zhang Zhaozhong used the capture technique to hold the pulse gate, unable to move. Zhang Zhaozhong pulled with his left hand and raised his right hand back, covering Lu Feiqing himself, suddenly recognized him, and shouted: "Senior brother, it's you! You have always treated me well, like my own brother..." Quickly He turned over and covered Lu Feiqing's body to block the wolves' claws. Two wolves bit his vest fiercely.Amid the exclamation of the crowd, Wen Tailai and Yu Yutong both jumped down.Wen Tailai swung his sword repeatedly, killing several wolves.The pack of wolves backed away a few feet.Yu Yutong was holding the steel knife he received from Xu Tianhong. When he jumped off, the city wall was too high and his footing was unstable.Zhang Zhaozhong let out a long scream, and his arms holding Lu Feiqing loosened immediately.At this time, the heroes had already hung down the long rope, first let Lu Feiqing and Yu Yu up together, and then let down Wen Tailai.When I looked down, the pack of wolves had already jumped on Zhang Zhaozhong, chewing and biting. Everyone's hearts were beating wildly, and they were speechless for a while, thinking of the danger just now, they all felt lingering fear. After a long time, Luo Bing said: "Uncle Lu, it's a pity that you couldn't get your White Dragon Sword." Yuan Shixiao said: "In a month or two, when all the wolves are dead, you can get it back." Tears in silence.
After camping in the evening, Chen Jialuo told his master how he met Qianlong several times.Yuan Shixiao was surprised when he heard the twists and turns. He took out a yellow cloth bag from his bosom and handed it to him, "In the spring of this year, your adoptive father sent the Chang brothers here. Give me this cloth bag to keep. They said it was two important things. They didn’t say what it was Dongbing, and I didn’t open it to look at it, I’m afraid it’s some kind of evidence that the emperor wants.” Chen Jialuo said: "It must be. Since the adoptive father has a will, the apprentice opened it to have a look." Unwrapping the cloth bag, he saw that it was tightly wrapped with three layers of oil paper, and there were two envelopes inside the oil paper. The paper had turned yellow, and there was no writing on the envelope. Chen Jialuo took out the paper from the first envelope, and saw that there were two lines written on the paper: "Mr. Shiguan: Please bring your newborn son to someone, and let me have a look." Signed below It is the word "Yongdi", with round and round writing and scrawled handwriting. It is also covered with a small vermilion chapter in Yangwen: "Four Seasons Youyou". Yuan Shixiao was puzzled after reading it, and asked: "What is the meaning of this letter? What's the use of it, your adoptive father is so important?" Chen Jialuo said: "It was written by Emperor Yongzheng." Yuan Shixiao said: "How do you know? " Chen Jialuo said: "I have a lot of books from the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in my disciple's family, including those from Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, so I can recognize their handwriting." Yuan Tuxiao said with a smile: "Yongzheng's handwriting is not bad. Said: "I have seen the approval papers he wrote on his father's memorial, some of which wrote: 'I see, I admire this'. When referring to people he doesn't like, he often writes: 'This person is a big face, be careful Beware of him, please do this." Yuan Shixiao laughed loudly, and said: "He is a big face, so you should be careful to guard against him." Then he said: "This letter was written by Yongzheng, so what's the big deal?" Chen Jialuo said: " He was not yet emperor when he wrote this letter." Yuan Shixiao said: "How do you know?" Chen Jialuo said: "He signed the word 'Yongdi', which was his mansion when he was Baylor. And if he becomes emperor , would not call my late father 'Mr.'. The four words on the seal indicate that he has no intention of being emperor, but wants to enjoy the years. 'Four' means that he is the fourth elder brother." Yuan Shixiao nodded. Chen Jialuo counted the years with his fingers, and pondered: "Yongzheng hadn't become emperor yet, so of course I hadn't been born at that time, neither had my second brother. My sister was born at this time, but the letter said 'Your newborn son ', um..." Thinking of Wen Tailai's words in the tunnel and Qianlong's expressions, he exclaimed: "This is the perfect evidence." Yuan Shiqiu said: "Why?" Chen Jialuo said: "Yongzheng sent my brother I took it away, but the one who came back was a girl. This girl is my eldest sister, who later married Changshu Jiang Ge, who was actually a princess born in Yongzheng. My real elder brother is now the emperor." Yuan Shixiao said: " Qianlong?" Chen Jialuo nodded, and pulled out a second letter.When he saw the handwriting, he couldn't help feeling sad and shed tears.Yuan Shixiao asked: "What?" Chen Jialuo choked up and said: "This is the handwriting of my late mother." Wiping away tears, he spread the paper and read: "Brother Ting Huijian: You and I are destined to end this life. Fate is good luck. What will happen to my husband?" Words. Yu said that my brother is a hero who stands up to heaven and earth. He is deeply tired by me and cannot be accepted as a teacher. I have three sons, one lives in the deep palace, and the other travels in the desert. Stubbornness, it makes people sad. The three officials are clever, and they have to be entrusted with a master. Although I love them, I don’t care about them. The officials don’t know their own backgrounds, but they are like Emperor Hu. Brother Ting, Brother Ting, can you give me some advice? Does it mean? There is a piece of Yinhong Zhuji on his left hip, which is a proof, and he should be believed. The remaining energy is declining day by day, and the day and night dreams are all the scenes of being with brother when he was young. God has mercy, and in the next life, when Life after life is a family member. Sister Chaosheng hand-opened." Chen Jialuo was horrified when he read the letter, and asked in a trembling voice: "Master, this letter... the 'Tingge' in the letter, could it be my adoptive father?" Yuan Shixiao said sadly: "Isn't it? There was mutual affection with your mother, but later, the heavens dismantled the mandarin ducks, so he never married a wife." Chen Jialuo said: "Why did my mother ask my adoptive father to bring me out? Why did you want me to treat my adoptive father as my own father? ?” Yuan Shixiao said: "Although I am a close friend of your adoptive father, I only know that he was expelled from the sect because he broke the rules of the Shaolin sect. He didn't talk about such shameful things, and it's inconvenient for others to ask about them. But I can trust you. He is a well-known and good man, he is upright and aboveboard, and he will never do anything wrong." He patted his thigh and said: "When he was expelled from Shaolin, I guess he must have been wronged for nothing. The Shaolin Temple asked his master to judge the case, which almost caused a big disturbance in the martial arts. Later, your adoptive father tried his best to explain it, saying that it was all his own fault, and he deserved the crime, so he gave up. Why I still don’t believe that he will do it to this day I don't know what I'm sorry for, unless the monks of Shaolin Temple have other strange rules." Speaking of this, there is still lingering anger. Chen Jialuo said: "Master, do you only know this about my adoptive father?" Yuan Shixiao said: "After he was expelled from the teacher's school, he lived in seclusion for several years. Later, he created the Red Flower Society and finally made a big deal Come." Chen Jialuo asked about his own life experience, but Yuan Shixiao tossed and talked about how he complained about the injustice for his adoptive father Yu Wanting back then. Chen Jialuo asked again: "Does the master know why the adoptive father and my mother asked the disciple to leave the house?" Yuan Shixiao said angrily: "I recruited people to judge your adoptive father, but in the end he suddenly took all the faults on himself. I pour cold water on everyone like this, where will I put my face? So I don’t care about him in the future. He sent you here, and I will do my best to educate you and teach you martial arts. Finally, I am worthy of him. .” Chen Jialuo knew that there was no way to ask the result, and thought: "The key to the restoration of the Han family lies in the background of the eldest brother. If there is a slight mistake in the process, all previous efforts will be wasted. This matter must be accomplished, but sooner or later it doesn't matter. I have to go to the Fujian Shaolin Temple first to find out. How did Yongzheng change children? He already had a son, but my elder brother is obviously a Han Chinese. Why did Yongzheng let him succeed the throne? I can always ask some clues there.” I told Master.Yuan Shixiao said: "That's right, it's good to ask carefully, because I'm afraid that the old monk will be weird and won't talk about it." Chen Jialuo said: "Then only the camera can do it." The master and apprentice talked for a while, Chen Jialuo explained in detail the martial arts he learned in Yufeng School, the main reason is that he is like a butcher dispelling an ox. A bull is not damaged by a knife.The two confirmed their gestures, and Chen Jialuo realized many subtleties.The two chatted excitedly, walked out of the tent, and practiced while talking, and they didn't realize that the sky was already white, so they had a good time. Yuan Shixiao said: "Those two Hui girls are of good character, which one do you want?" Chen Jialuo said: "In the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing said: 'The Xiongnu is not destroyed, why should the family be?' My disciple also meant the same." Yuan Shiqiu nodded Tou said: "Very ambitious, very ambitious. I'll go and tell Shuangying, lest they blame me for teaching my disciples badly." The words were very proud.Chen Jialuo said: "What's wrong with Mr. and Mrs. Chen's disciples?" Yuan Shixiao said with a smile: "They blame you for liking the new and abandoning the old. When you meet your sister, you forget your sister. Haha! In fact, there is nothing wrong with a pair of three good friends." Chen Jialuo returned Si Shuangying left without saying goodbye that night, and the eight big characters left in the sand originally contained this meaning, so she was secretly startled. The next day, Chen Jialuo told the heroes that he was going to Fujian Shaolin Temple for a visit, and said goodbye to Yuan Shixiao, Tianshan Shuangying and Huo Qingtong immediately.Princess Xiangxiang is reluctant to part.Chen Jialuo felt uncomfortable, don't know when will we see each other again?If you are protected by God, you will be done, and there will be a reunion, otherwise the brothers will be buried in the earth, and they will never come back to the Ministry again.Huo Qingtong sent her away for a long time, and she was heartbroken and saddened, but she urged her to go back, Princess Xiangxiang just refused. Chen Jialuo hardened his heart and said: "Go with sister!" Princess Xiangxiang said with tears, "You must come back!" Chen Jialuo nodded.Princess Xiangxiang said: "If you don't come for ten years, I'll wait for you for ten years; if you don't come for a lifetime, I'll wait for you for a lifetime." Chen Jialuo wanted to send her something. Sheng Wen touched the piece of Wen jade that Qianlong gave on the sea pond, took it out and put it in the hands of Princess Xiangxiang, and said in a low voice: "When you see this jade, it is like seeing me." Princess Xiangxiang accepted it with tears in her eyes. , said: "I must see you again. Even if I am going to die, I will die after seeing you." Chen Jialuo smiled and said: "Why are you so sad? After the big event is successful, let's go to the Great Wall outside Beijing to play together." Princess Xiangxiang lost her mind for a while, with a slight smile on her face, she said: "What you said is not allowed to be counted." Chen Jialuo said: "When did I lie to you?" Princess Xiangxiang reined in now and. Chen Jialuo looked back from time to time, but saw the figures of the two sisters gradually blurred and finally disappeared on the edge of the desert. The heroes control the horses and walk slowly.Zhang Zhaozhong was killed in this battle, Yu Yutong was avenged, he was very happy, he was grateful to Li Yuanzhi, but also pityed her, he did not avoid suspicion along the way, and took good care of her injuries. After walking for several days, they arrived at Afanti's house again, but the strange man riding a donkey went out again.Zhou Qi was very happy to hear that Zhang Zhaozhong was dead and that his brother's revenge had been avenged.According to Chen Jialuo's intention, Xu Tianhong was asked to stay with her in Huibu, and return to the Central Plains after giving birth to a child and recovering.But Zhou Qi felt bored at first, and secondly, she heard that everyone was going to Shaolin Temple in Fujian, and she could meet her father during this trip, so she clamored to go with her.Everyone couldn't hold back, so they had to let her.Xu Tianhong hired a big car and let his wife and Li Yuanzhi rest in the car. After returning to Jiayuguan, the weather is getting warmer and spring is already here.Everyone went south all the way, getting hotter and hotter, Zhou Qi became more and more lethargic, but Li Yuanzhi's injuries had already healed.She abandoned the cart and rode on the horse, chatting with Luo Bing all the way.Others were surprised that the two talked endlessly, somehow there were so many things to talk about.
When everyone came to Fujian this day, they saw red flowers all over the mountain and butterflies flying.Chen Jialuo thought to himself: "If Kasili was here, she would be so happy to see so many flowers." After walking for a few more days, they entered Dehua City. The group wanted to find a restaurant to drink and eat. They passed outside the county government office on Dajie Street. They saw about thirty men wearing wooden shackles on their heads, their hands were also tied in the shackles, and there were shackles on their feet. Standing in rows by the wall, all of them were downcast and haggard. The sun was scorching hot, making people miserable, and some of them seemed to be dying and about to die.A dozen guards held whips in their hands, yelling and scolding: "Pay the imperial rations quickly, and let him go!" Zhou Qi couldn't help asking: "Hey! What kind of law have they committed? So many people are here , basking in the sun, you have no evil skills!" A man who looked like the leader of the guard said: "You outsiders, go quickly! Don't meddle in your own business!" Zhou Qi said angrily: "Everything in the world is managed by the people in the world. Come on, why are you meddling in your own business?" The head of the guard pointed to a notice posted on the wall with a whip and said, "Are you illiterate or not? Fang Fantai from the province came to Dehua to urge food, and the emperor is returning home. Is it a joke to use troops in Xinjiang and the food and pay of the army? The outsiders are talking about it, and they are arrested together and shackled to show the public!" Hokkien dialect is not easy to understand, so Zhou Qi ignored it.Chen Jialuo and others looked at the announcement, and it turned out that it was a notice from the vassal government office in Fujian Province calling for payment of money and grain, saying that the army marched westward, the grain and wages were as urgent as sparks, and the unruly people refused to pay, and they were severely punished.A man wearing a shackle shouted: "Good job! It's not like we don't want to pay the food. We have to pay dozens of taels of silver at any time. If you kill me, you can't get it!" A guard whipped him Beat it, and shouted: "If you scream again, I will kill your head!" He raised his whip and wanted to beat him again, but Zhou Qi rushed to grab the whip. Xu Tianhong shouted: "Sister Qi, wait a minute!" Zhou Qi let go of the whip and asked, "What?" Xu Tianhong pointed to the bulletin and said, "The name of Fang Fantai is Fang Youde!" He whispered: "I don't know if it is That's a fucking fart." A group of people went to a restaurant, and the bartender poured wine. Xu Tianhong said to Chen Jialuo: "Chief Steward, please allow me to avenge my revenge!" Chen Jialuo said: "Seventh Brother, please tell me!" Maybe it's my big enemy. He was the magistrate of Shaoxing Prefecture in Zhejiang Province before, and killed my whole family. I can't find him, and I can't avenge him. So he is here, but is it really him... We need to find out..." Zhou Qi said angrily, "There's no need to investigate, this kind of dog official can't be wrongly killed!" Chen Jialuo shook his head slowly, and said: "If this is the real person, Brother Seven's family members Revenge, of course, is to be avenged. How old is Fang Youde?" Xu Tianhong said: "It must be more than sixty." Chen Jialuo said: "If you let him go today, don't let him have an accident He was ill and died..." Zhou Qi said loudly, "Then his great revenge will never be avenged!" Chen Jialuo murmured: "We have a major event at hand, Seventh Brother, we have to make a decision, we must kill this surnamed Fang for revenge, and don't get involved with Honghuahui." Xu Tianhong said: "Exactly! We We have to rob Fujian's money and food, so that the army going back to the Ministry can't move." Lu Feiqing said: "It should be so, but there are people with the same name and surname in the world. Nephew Xu Xian, let's go to the county government office to investigate and understand. Let's see if this Fang Youde is your enemy." Xu Tianhong said: "Please give me some pointers, my nephew and Uncle Lu will investigate." Everyone hastily had dinner and wine, Chen Jialuo led the crowd to the inn, Xu Tianhong followed Lu Feiqing to go out to investigate.Zhou Qi was worried about Xu Tianhong's revenge, fidgeting, and kept walking to the door of the inn to wait.In the evening, Xu Tianhong came back quickly, made a beheading gesture to Zhou Qi, and said, "That's the traitor!" Zhou Qi jumped up and shouted: "Excellent!" Xu Tianhong hurriedly said: "Don't jump! Watch out for your stomach." He walked into Chen Jialuo's upper room, and said in a low voice: "Chief helmsman, senior Lu and I can understand that there is a big black mark on the left side of Fang Fan's platform. It is the traitor who killed my whole family. He is determined to be wrong." No. Senior Lu was meticulous in his work, and called his fourteenth brother to go. He could speak Fuzhou township talk, and went to the county yamen to find a boss. He gave him twenty taels of silver to ask him to do a small matter, and invited him to drink and inquire about it. I understand that this Fantai Fang used to be the magistrate in Zhejiang, and he was promoted to the Salt Road and the Food Road, and was transferred to Fujian a few years ago to become a Fantai." Chen Jialuo said: "Then it can't be wrong, let's do it tonight! Brother Seven , please go and invite Senior Lu to come, and everyone will count together." Xu Tianhong was overjoyed and went out to invite Lu Feiqing.Yu Yutong followed into the room, and said: "Chief lord, I also heard a strange news that there are five military officers and guards in Beijing who said they had urgent special orders, and they rushed from Beijing to Fuzhou to find Fang Fantai. I learned that he came to Dehua on a business trip, and came to Dehua again. As for the special purpose, I don’t know because the job of the county clerk is low-level.” Lu Feiqing also said that it seems that the person from Beijing seems to have a lot of background.When Chen Jialuo heard that it was a special order from Beijing, he immediately thought: "Maybe it has something to do with the big things we are plotting." He fell silent for a while. Yu Yuwen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "There is another piece of great luck! I went to the county yamen to check it out secretly, and among the five military officers, two are old friends, one is called Rui Dalin, and the other is a general soldier. Huang, I went to Tiedan Village to capture the fourth brother, and when I told the fourth brother, he would definitely jump for joy. Let us avenge our two major vengeances together, it is really wonderful, very wonderful!" Chen Jialuo said "Fourteenth brother, you and ninth brother go to watch the wind outside the county government office, don't let these traitors go away. If the special decree passed by these military officers is to mobilize troops and horses or something, don't startle the snake for now." Xu Tianhong nodded. Said: "Personal enmity is a small matter, let's take care of the overall situation first. If the emperor can really keep the covenant, most likely he will have to dispatch troops to the provinces." Chen Jialuo nodded and said: "I hope so, Brother Qi understands the righteousness. We have to catch this For the five military officers, it is in the interests of the overall situation to find out the truth." At the moment when Chen Jialuo issued an order, the crowd came outside the Dehua County Yamen, Yu Yutong was about to go in to inquire about information, when he heard the sound of horseshoes, more than ten riders galloped out of the Yamen, the leading few wore red and blue collars on their tops, They were high-ranking military officers, Wen Tailai recognized one of them as Cheng Huang, and couldn't help but tear his eyes.Seeing a group of people heading east, all the heroes got on their horses one after another, and ran out of the east gate of Dehua City in pursuit.After running for thirty or forty li, I worked in a restaurant and asked the waiter, knowing that Cheng Huang had been waiting for him not long ago.Wen Tailai said: "My horse is fast, I rushed up to stop the five thieves." Luo Bing said: "There are five of them, don't leave alone. I'm sorry they can't escape." Wen Tailai knew that his wife had been in danger since he was in danger. He took good care of him and couldn't bear to make her worry, so he chased after him with everyone. That night the heroes rested in Xianyou, and rushed to the end of the suburb the next day. They heard from the villagers that the five military officers had turned to the north.Chen Jialuo said with a smile: "It's a good journey for them to escape. They are heading north to Putian Shaolin Temple. Although we chased people away, we didn't take the wrong road." After driving for dozens of miles, the sky was getting dark, it was close to Shaolin Temple, and the heroes were looking at the sea Find an inn in the town to rest.Five people including Lu Feiqing, Wen Tailai, Wei Chunhua, Xu Tianhong and Xinyan went out to inquire about the whereabouts of the guards.
Wen Tailai couldn't find any trace of Cheng Huang and others, and felt anxious.At this time, it was night, the cicadas had just stopped, and the heat was still hot. His ancestor opened his chest and held a big sunflower to fan the wind. After walking for a while, there was a scent of wine in the wind. There was a small hotel in front of him, and he saw the door of the shop He opened it by himself, thinking that he just had a few bowls of cold wine to quench his thirst. When he walked into the store, he was startled. He had nowhere to look for it. Cheng Huang, Rui Dalin and three guards were drinking and talking and laughing. . When the five people suddenly saw him rushing into the store, their expressions changed in shock, and they immediately stopped their glasses and stopped talking.Wen Tailai seemed to have disappeared, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, bring the wine." The waiter agreed, and took the jug, wine glass, and chopsticks and put them in front of him.Wen Tailai shouted: "What's the use of a cup? Bring a big bowl." With a bang, he threw a piece of silver on the table.Seeing his fierceness, the waiter in the shop didn't dare to say more, so he brought out a big bowl and filled it with wine.Wen Tailai took a sip from the bowl and praised: "Good wine!" The waiter said: "This is the famous Sanbaijiu in the local area." Wen Tailai said: "How many bowls should I drink for slaughtering a pig?" The waiter didn't understand what he meant, But he didn't dare not answer, so he said casually: "Three bowls!" Wen Tailai said: "Okay, take fifteen large bowls and fill them with wine!" He took out his single knife and chopped it on the stool beside the table.The waiter in the shop was startled, and according to his words, he took out fifteen large bowls, filled the whole table, and poured wine on them.Cheng Huang and the others looked at each other in dismay, wondering and wondering, seeing Wen Tailai blocking the door, they didn't dare to come out. Cheng Huang and Rui Dalin saw that there was no way, so they stood up and wanted to slip out through the back door.Wen Tailai yelled like a thunderbolt in mid-air, and shouted: "I haven't had any wine yet, why is I so impatient?" Cheng Rui and the two stood still and dared not move.Wen Tailai stepped on the bench with his left foot, drank a bowl of wine two doors away, shouted: "Good wine!" and drank a second bowl.The waiter in the shop knew how to cut up two catties of beef and tendon, and put it on a plate.Wen Tailai drank and ate meat, and in a short while, he ate up to fifteen bowls of wine and two catties of beef.Cheng Huang and Rui Dalin looked at each other in amazement.The other three guards winked at each other, raised their weapons and rushed forward. Wen Tailai got drunk and was sweating all over his body. When the three of them jumped on him, he raised his right foot and kicked the table flying.He didn't draw his sword, he lifted the bench and swept towards the three guards.The three guards were also very skillful, one wielded his flower spear, avoiding the bench, and stabbed distractedly, while the other two used a knife, and the other held the eyebrow steel thorns in both hands, bullying them.Wen Tailai raised the stool straight up, facing the three of them forcefully. During the scuffle, the knifeman slashed on the stool and couldn't pull it out in a hurry. Wen Tailai turned his left palm and hit him in the middle of the bridge of the nose. His facial features were bloody and his skull was shaken broken.At this time, the double thorns pierced Wen Tailai's right flank, he pulled out the single knife from the stool and chopped it down. The man's double thorns were stabbed, suddenly felt the wind blowing against his head, his left foot tumbled sharply, he rolled to avoid it.The gunman shook out a big bowl of spear flowers, "the poisonous dragon came out of the hole", and stabbed at Wen Tailai's lower abdomen.Wen Tailai threw away the single knife with his left hand, and grabbed the gun barrel.The man tried his best to get it back, but he couldn't match Wen Tailai's supernatural power. Under this pull, he staggered and fell towards him.Wen Tailai lifted the bench with his right hand, bumped it against his chest, and pushed it hard, the man leaned against the earth wall, and pushed again, the earth wall collapsed immediately, pressing the man in the masonry and mud. ! The hotel was full of dust, and the mud on the roof could not stop falling, Wen Tailai turned around and beat again, saw the fat bodyguard curled up in a ball, motionless, lifted him up, saw his face like gold paper, already Exhausted, but frightened to death.Wen Tailai intends to leave one alive for interrogation, but when Cheng Huang and Rui Dalin were found, they had disappeared, presumably fleeing in disorder. When I came out of the store, a gust of cool wind blew my body, and the dawn star appeared on the head, and it was already the time of the first watch.He went back to the hotel, picked up a single knife, looked around, flew to the roof of a tall house, looked around, saw two black shadows running wildly to the north, was overjoyed, jumped down from the house, and chased after them with the knife.After chasing for several miles, there is a large sugarcane field in front of me, the cane stalks are very high, and two black shadows penetrated into the sugarcane field and disappeared.He also dived in with the knife, yelling and chasing all the way.After walking through the sugarcane fields, I saw a dark forest. After searching for a while in the forest, he jumped up with a thought, grabbed a branch, climbed to the top of the tree, looked around, and saw that there seemed to be a small village in the distance, but the houses were very tall.Seeing two black shadows running towards the house, if not for the swaying of their bodies, they really couldn't be seen in the dark night.Wen Tailai secretly felt ashamed, groped in the woods for a long time, almost escaped by them, immediately jumped off the ground and ran towards the village.He stepped hard, and there was wind in his ears, he arrived in a moment, and saw the two people jumping over the wall. Wen Tailai shouted: "Where are you going to escape?" Rushing to the wall, under the dim starlight, you can see that these houses are all green tiles and yellow walls, but it is a big jungle. "Shaolin ancient temple" four characters.He was startled: "So we have arrived at Shaolin Temple. Although Fujian Shaolin Temple is a subordinate temple of Songshan Mountain, the martial arts of the monks in Suwen Temple are as strong as that of Songshan Temple. This is where the chief rudder was born. I can't be reckless." But Cheng Huang, Rui Dalin and the other two were really bullying too much in the past, and they could not let it go. Seeing that the gate of the temple was closed, they jumped onto the wall with their knives in hand. Under the wall is a large empty courtyard, listening carefully, there is no sound, not knowing where Cheng Huang and Rui Dalin fled, so he bent down and looked around.Suddenly the door of the main hall opened with a bang, and a fat monk came out, dragging a handy shovel more than seven feet long, and shouted: "You are so bold, you want to break into the holy place of Buddhism!" Wen Tailai clasped his hands and said: "Disciple Chasing two government hawks and dogs alarmed the master, please forgive me." The monk said: "Since you know martial arts, you should know where the Shaolin Temple is, and why you brought a knife into the temple. It is so rude?" Wen Tailai was furious, After thinking about it again, in the dark night, there was indeed something wrong with rushing into the mountain gate with a knife. He cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you!" He jumped out of the wall and sat under the tree with his chest topless, thinking ：“那两个臭贼总要出来，我在这里等着便了。” 刚坐定不久，那胖和尚跃上墙来，喝道：“你这汉子怎么还不走，赖在这里想偷东西么？”文泰来怒道：“我自坐在树下，干你什么事？”胖和尚道：“你吃了老虎心、豹子胆，到少林寺来撒野！快走，快走！”文泰来再也按捺不住，喝道：“我偏不走，你待怎地？”那胖和尚一言不发，举起方便铲，呼的一声，从墙头纵下，只听铲上钢环铮铮乱响，铲随身落，方便铲长达一尺的月牙钢弯已推到胸前。 文泰来正待挺刀放对，转念一想，总舵主千里迢迢前来，正有求于此，莫因我一时之忿而坏了大事，于是晃身避开铲头，倒提单刀，转身便走。奔不数步，眼前白光闪动，一个和尚使两把戒刀，直砍过来。文泰来不欲交锋，斜向蹿出。两个和尚叫道：“掷下兵器，就放你走路。”文泰来只待奔入林中，忽听头顶风声响动，忙往左闪让，砰的一声，一条禅杖直打入土中，泥尘四溅，势道猛恶，一个矮瘦和尚横杖挡路。 文泰来道：“在下此来并无恶意，请三位大师放行。明早再来赔罪。”那矮瘦和尚道：“你既敢夜闯少林，必有惊人艺业，露一手再走。”不等他回答，禅杖横扫而至。文泰来低头从杖下钻过。那使戒刀的叫道：“好身手！”双刀直劈过来，使方便铲的也过来夹攻。 文泰来连让三招，对方兵刃都是间不容发地从身旁擦过，知道这三人都是少林寺中的高手，如再相让，黑夜中稍不留神，非死即伤，三僧纵无杀己之意，一世英名不免付于流水，当下呼呼呼连劈三刀，从三件兵器的夹缝中反攻出去，身法迅捷之极。 三个和尚突然问时念了声“阿弥陀佛”，跳出圈子。使禅杖的和尚道：“我们是本寺达摩院上座三僧。”向使戒刀的和尚一指道：“他法名元悲。”指着使方便铲的道；“他法名元痛。我叫元伤。培士高姓大名？”文泰来道：“在下姓文名泰来。”元痛道：“啊，原来是奔雷手文四爷，怪不得这等好本事。文四爷夜入敝寺，可是奉了贵会于万亭老当家的遗命么？”文泰来道：“于老当家并无什么言语，在下追逐鹰爪，误入贵寺，还请原恕则个。” 三个和尚低声商议了几句。元痛道：“文四爷威名天下知闻，今日有幸相会，小僧想请教高招。”文泰来道：“少林寺是武学圣地，在下怎敢放肆？就此告辞。”还刀入鞘，抱拳拱手，转身便走。 三僧见他只是谦退，只道他心虚胆怯，必有隐情，心想红花会故总舵主于万亭是少林寺革逐的弟子，莫非他是来为首领报怨泄愤？互相一使眼色，元痛抖动方便铲，钢环乱响，直戳过来。文泰来是当世英雄，哪能在敌人兵刃下逃走，只得挥刀抵敌。 元痛一柄方便铲施展开来，铲头月牙灿然生光，寒气迫人。文泰来这时酒意已过，精力愈长，刀法招招精奇。元痛渐渐抵敌不住，元伤挺起禅杖，上前双战。斗到酣处，元悲的戒刀也砍将人来。文泰来以一敌三，兀自攻多守少，猛见月光下数十条人影照在地下，对方僧众大集，不由得心惊。 就这么微一分神，元伤禅杖横扫，打中文泰来刀背，火花迸发，那刀飞将起来，直落入林中去了。文泰来身子稍挫，奔雷手当真疾如迅雷，右手已抓住元痛斜砸而下的方便铲铲柄，用力扭拧，元痛方便铲脱手。文泰来飞出右腿，踢在他膝盖之上，元痛一个肥大的身躯直跌出去。这时元伤的禅杖与元悲的戒刀已同时攻到，文泰来倒抡方便铲，当的一声大响，钢铲正打在禅杖之上。两件精钢的长大兵刃相交，只震得山谷鸣响，回声不绝。元伤虎口震裂，满手鲜血，呛啷啷，禅杖落地。文泰来侧身避过戒刀，举铲直进，挺向元悲。元悲吓得忘了抵挡，门户大开，眼见铲头月牙已推到面门。文泰来不欲伤人，正想收铲，突觉头顶嗤嗤有暗器之声，正待闪避，当的一响，手中一震，方便铲被重物撞得荡开尺许，又听丁丁两声轻响，跟着树上掉下两个人来。 文泰来收铲跃开，回过头来，见陈家洛等都到了，心中一喜，转过身来，却见对面人丛中一个白须飘拂的老者踏步上前，说道：“文四爷，真对不起，我出手劝了架，向你谢过！”抱拳行礼。周绮大叫：“爹！”奔了上去。那人正是铁胆周仲英。 文泰来一低头，见铲头已被打陷了一块，月牙都打折了，心下佩服铁胆周名不虚传。再看地下两人，不觉大奇，一是成璜，另一个就是瑞大林。原来两人逃入寺中，被监寺大苦禅师逐出，偷偷躲在树上，见文泰来力战三僧得胜，瑞大林在树上暗放袖箭，却被藏经阁主座大痴禅师以铁菩提打落，接着又将两人打了下来。 周仲英当下给红花会群雄与少林寺僧众引见。原来当口周仲英和孟健雄、安健刚、周大奶奶离天目山后，南下福建，来到少林寺谒见方丈天虹禅师。南北少林本是一家，武功家数也无多大分别。周仲英在武林中声名极响，南少林僧众素来仰慕。双方印证切磋武功，极是投机。天虹禅师恳切相留，周仲英一住不觉就是数月，这晚听得警报连传，说有一个高手夜闯山门，已与达摩院上座三僧交上了手，于是跟着出来，不料竟是文泰来，危急中出手劝架，怕文泰来见怪，忙即赔礼。 文泰来自不介意，向监寺大苦大师告了骚扰之罪，要把成璜与瑞大林带走。大苦道：“这两位施主既来本寺避难，佛门广大，慈悲为本，文施主瞧在小僧脸上，放了他们走吧！”文泰来无奈，只得依了。陆菲青将成瑞二人带在一旁，点了二人穴道，询问从北京赶来福建，传何密旨。二人只说皇上特派金钩铁掌内振率领十余名侍卫来到福建，命福建总兵调集三千旗兵及汉军官兵，在德化城候命，到时皇上有加急密旨下给方藩台，会同白振及总兵，依旨用兵。至于这些兵马如何用途，只有到时开拆密旨，方能知晓。陆菲青心想用兵之道，原当如是，不该早泄机密，看来二人之话不假，皇帝既派到白振，所办的当非小事，二人也未必知晓。此时也不便当着少林僧众之面，向二人加刑逼供，当下解开二人穴道，遣其自去，悄悄将情由告知了陈家洛。 于是大苦邀群雄人寺。天虹禅师已率领达摩院首座天镜禅师、戒持院首座大癫等在山门口迎接。互通姓名后，天虹向陆菲青道：“久仰武当绵里针陆师傅的大名，今日有幸得见，真是山刹之光。”陆菲青逊谢。天虹邀群雄进寺到静室献茶，问起来意。 陈家洛见室中尽是少林寺有职司的高僧，并无闲杂人等，忽地在天虹面前跪倒，天虹忙伸手扶起，道：“陈总舵主有话请说，如何行此大礼？”陈家洛道：“在下有个不情之请，按照武林规矩，原是不该出门。但为了亿万生灵，斗胆向老禅师求告。”天虹道：“请说不妨。”陈家洛道：“于万亭于老爷子是我义父……”一听到于万亭之名，天虹倏然变色，白眉掀动。 陈家洛当下把自己与乾隆的关连简略说了，最后说到兴汉驱满的大计，求天虹告知他义父被革出派的原由，要知道此事是否与乾隆的真正身世有关，说道：“望老禅师念着天下百姓……” 天虹默然不语，长眉下垂，双目合拢，凝神思索，众人不敢打扰。过了一盏茶时分，天虹眼睁一线，说道：“陈总舵主远道来寺，求问被逐弟子于万亭的俗世情缘。此事按照寺规，本不可行……但此事有关普天下苍生气运，须当破例，请陈总舵主派人往戒持院自取案卷。”陈家洛躬身道谢。知客僧引群雄到客舍休息。 陈家洛正自欣喜，却见周仲英皱起眉头，面露忧色，说道：“方丈师兄请陈总舵主派人去取案卷，前赴戒持院须得经过五座殿堂，每一殿有一位武功甚高的大师驻守，要冲过五殿，唉，甚难，甚难！” 众人一听，才知还得经过一场剧斗，文泰来道：“周老爷子是两不相助的了。咱们几个勉强试试吧！”周仲英摇头道：“难在须得一个人连闯五殿，若是有人相助，寺中也遣人相助，势成混战，那可大大不妥。这五殿的护法大师一位强似一位。就算过得前面数殿，力斗之余，最后一两殿实难闯过。” 陈家洛沉吟道：“要连过五殿，只恐难能。只盼我佛慈悲，能放晚辈过去。”当下脱去长衣，带了一袋围棋子，腰上插了短剑，由周仲英领到妙法殿来。 周仲英来到殿口，低声道：“陈当家的，如闯不过去，就请回转。咱们另想别法。千万不可勉强，免受损伤。”陈家洛答应。周仲英叫道：“诸事如意！”站在一旁。 陈家洛推门进内，只见殿上烛火明亮，一僧坐在蒲团之上，正是监寺大苦大师。他站起身来，笑道：“是陈总舵主亲自赐教，再好也没有了，我请教几路拳法。”陈家洛站在下首，拱手道：“请！” 大苦左手握拳，翻转挽一大圈，右掌上托。陈家洛识得此招是“只手擎天”，知他是以醉拳来和自己过招。他虽曾学过此拳，但想起当日和周仲英在铁胆庄比武，自己用少林拳来对他少林拳，险遭大败，此时再也不敢轻忽，当下双手一拍，倏地分开，一出手便是百花错拳的绝招。大苦出其不意，险些中掌，顺势一招“怪鸟搜云”，仰跌在地，手足齐发，随即跳起，只见他脚步欹斜，双手乱舞，声东击西，指前打后，跌跌撞撞，真如醉汉一般。陈家洛识得此拳，当下凝神拆解。大苦的醉拳虽只一十六路，但下盘若虚而稳，拳招似懈实精，翻滚跌扑，顾盼生姿。 两人斗到酣处，大苦一个飞腾步，全身凌空，落下来足成绞花，一招“铁牛耕地”，右拳冲击对方下盘。陈家洛斜身后缩，知他一击不中，又将上跃成为“鹞子翻身”，看准部位，等他左足落地，突然右脚勾出，伸手在他背上轻轻按落。大苦翻不过来，俯伏跌了下去。陈家洛双手在他肩头轻托，大苦借势跃起，才没跌倒，脸上涨得通红，向里一指，道：“请进吧！”陈家洛拱手道：“承让！” 进去又是一殿，戒持院首座大癫大师坐在正中，见他进来，便即站起，提起身旁一条粗大禅杖在地下一顿，只震得墙壁摇动，屋顶簌簌地落下许多灰尘。陈家洛暗惊：此人力气好大，只见他左手扶杖，右手向左右各发侧掌，左手提杖打横，右手以阳手接住，踏上两步，正是“疯魔杖”的起手式。陈家洛见他发掌时风声飒然，脚步沉凝，不敢轻敌，拔出短剑，脱去外鞘，一阵寒光激射而出。大癫见了剑光，不觉一震，左手斜击，拗杖横击，这“虎尾鞭势”又快又沉。陈家洛矮身从杖下穿过，还了一剑。两人兵器一个极长，一个极短，在殿上回旋激斗。 陈家洛见过蒋四根的桨法，知道这疯魔杖法猛如疯虎，骤若天魔，杖法脱胎于天竺武宗紧罗那王所传的一百单八路棍法，又摘取大小“夜叉棍”、“取经棍法”等精华，端的厉害。自来杖法多用长手，使者必具极大勇力，大癫尤其天生神武，只见他“翻身劈山”、“夜叉探海”、“雷针轰木”，招招狠极猛极，犹如发疯着魔，将一根数十斤镔铁禅杖狂舞乱打。 陈家洛心下暗赞，要如此使杖，才当得起“疯魔”两字，当下不敢抢入力攻，一味腾挪闪避，料想他如此勇悍，定然难以持久，只待他锐气稍挫，再行攻入。哪知大癫内功深湛，根基极固，恶斗良久，杖法中丝毫不见破绽，反而越舞越急，毫无衰象，竟把陈家洛直逼向墙角里去。大癫见他无处退避，双手抡杖，一招“回龙杖”向下猛击。 陈家洛心想以后还有三位高手，不可恋战耗力，见这狠招下来，决意险中求胜，竟不闪避。大癫知陈家洛是友非敌，禅杖砸到离他头顶二尺之处，陡然提起，改砸为扫，满拟将他扫倒，叫他知难而退，也就罢了。陈家洛本待禅杖将到头顶时突然扑入对方怀中，以短攻近，忽见他半路改势，劲力微滞，当即随机应变，左手抓住杖头，右手短剑划出，禅杖登时断为两截，两人各执了一段。 大癫大怒，扑上。又斗，陈家洛跃开丈余，一躬到地，说道：“大师手下容情，在下感激不尽。”大癫不理，挺着半截禅杖直逼过来，但不数合又被短剑削断。 陈家洛心中歉然，只怕他要空手索战，径自奔入后殿。大癫只因一念之仁反遭挫败，甚是气忿，数步追不上，纵声大叫，将半截禅杖猛力掷在地下，火花四溅。 陈家洛来到第三殿，眼前一片光亮，只见殿中两侧点满了香烛，何止百数十枝。藏经阁主座大痴大师笑容可掬，说道：“陈当家的，你我来比划一下暗器。”陈家洛躬身道：“请大师指教。”大痴笑道：“你我各守一边，每边均有九枝蜡烛，九九八十一炷香，谁先把对方的香烛全部打灭，谁就胜了。这比法不伤和气。”向殿心供桌一指道：“袖箭、铁莲子、菩提子、飞镖，各种暗器桌上都有，用完了可以再拿。” 陈家洛在衣囊中摸了一把棋子，心想：“这位大师在暗器上必有独到的功夫。我若平时向赵三哥多讨教几下，这时也可多一点把握。”说道：“请吧！”大痴笑道：“客人先请。”陈家洛寻思：“我先显一手师父教的满天花雨，来个先声夺人。”拿起五颗棋子，一把掷了出去，对面墙脚下五炷香应声而灭。大痴赞道：“好俊功夫。”颈中除下一串念珠，扯断珠索，拿了五颗念珠在手，也是一掷打灭五炷香。 风声起处，陈家洛又打火五炷线香。大痴连挥两下，九烛齐熄。烛火一灭，黑暗中香头火光看得越加清楚，那就易取准头。陈家洛心想：“正该如此，我怎么没想到？”九颗棋子分三次掷出，直奔烛头，只听丁丁丁一阵响，烛火毫无动静，九颗棋子都在半途被大痴打了下来，不觉一呆，大痴却趁机打灭了四炷线香。待他再发，陈家洛也掷棋子去迎击念珠，但因自己这边烛火已灭，香头微光，怎照得清楚细小的念珠？对方五颗念珠只击中了两颗，其余三颗却又打灭了三炷香。 对比之下，大痴已胜了九烛二香，他以念珠极力守住九枝烛火，一面乘隙灭香，再交锋数合，又多胜了十四炷香。陈家洛出尽全力，也只打灭了两枝蜡烛。他心里一急，大痴乘势直攻，一口气打灭了十九炷香。 陈家洛见对面烛火辉煌，自己这边只剩下寥寥二十多炷香，心想：“难道第三殿便闯不过去？”危急中忽然想起赵半山的飞燕银梭，当下看准方位，把三颗棋子猛力往墙边掷去。大痴见他乱掷，暗笑毕竟是年轻人沉不住气，一输就大发脾气。哪知三颗棋子在墙上一碰，反弹转来，一颗落空，余下两颗把两枝烛火打灭。大痴吃了一惊，不由得喝彩。 陈家洛如此接连发出棋子，撞墙反弹，大痴无法再守住烛火，好在他已占先了数十枝香，这时再不去理会对方灭烛，双手连挥，加紧灭香。突然间殿中一片黑暗，陈家洛已将蜡烛尽行打熄，但他这一边点燃的线香却也只剩下七枝，对面却点点星火，何逾三数十枝，正自气沮，忽听大痴叫道：“陈当家的，我暗器打完啦，大家暂停，到供桌上拿了再打。” 陈家洛一摸衣囊，也只剩下五六粒棋子，只听大痴道：“你先拿吧。”陈家洛走到供桌之前，灵机一动，心想：“这是大事所系，只好耍一下无赖了。”左手兜起长衫下襟，右手在供桌桌面上一抹，把桌上全部暗器都扫入衣襟，跃回己方，笑道：“一、二、三，我要发暗器啦。”大痴扑到桌边伸手摸去，桌上空空如也。陈家洛铁莲子、菩提子一连串射将出去，片刻之间，把对面地下的香火灭得一星不留。 大痴手中没有暗器，眼睁睁地无法可施，哈哈大笑，道：“陈当家的，真有你的，这叫做斗智不斗力！你胜了，请吧！”陈家洛道：“惭愧，惭愧。在下本已输了，只因事关重大，出于无奈，务请原谅。”大痴大师脾气甚好，不以为忤，笑道：“后面两殿是我两位师叔把守，我两位师叔武功深湛，还请小心。”陈家洛道：“多谢大师指点。”心下感激，再入内殿。 里面一殿也是烛火明亮，殿堂却较前面三殿小得多。殿中放了两个蒲团，达摩院首座天镜禅师盘膝坐在左侧蒲团上，见陈家洛进来，起立相迎，道：“请坐吧！”陈家洛不知他要如何比试，依言坐上右侧蒲团，么、想大癫、大痴已如此功力，天镜是他师叔，又是达摩院首座，武功之精，不言可喻，自己多半不是敌手，只好随机应变了。 天镜禅师身材极高，坐在蒲团上比常人站立也矮不了多少，两颊深陷，全身似乎无肉，瞧上去不怒自威。天镜道：“你连过三殿，足见高明。虽然你义父已不属少林门下，但说来你总是晚辈，我也不能跟你平手过招。这样吧，你能和我拆十招不败，就让你过去。”陈家洛站起施礼，道：“请老禅师慈悲。”天镜“哼”了一声，道：“请坐，接着！”陈家洛刚坐上蒲团，只觉一股劲风当胸扑到，忙运双掌相抵，只和他手掌一碰，立觉猛不可当，如是硬接，势非跌下蒲团不可，忙使招“分手”，想把劲力引向一旁消解。哪知天镜的掌力刚猛无俦，“分手”竟然粘他不动，只得拼着全身之力，强接了这招。 陈家洛这一招虽然接住了，但已震得左膀隐隐作痛。天镜禅师叫道：“第二招来了。”陈家洛不敢再行硬架，待得掌到，身子微偏，反拳拦打他臂弯，这是百花错拳中的妙着，敌人势须收掌相避。不料天镜右臂“横扫千军”，肘弯倏地对准他拳面横推过来。这一下来势快极，陈家洛拳力未发，已被对方肘部抵住，忙脚上使劲，身子直拔起来，避开了这一推，落下来仍坐在蒲团之上。天镜见他变招快捷，能坐着急跃，点了点头，反掌回抓。 陈家洛见他一招招越来越是厉害，心想这
