Chapter 4 Chapter Three

When Le Zhiyang returned to his residence, he was full of sadness, and his heart was full of Zhu Wei's appearance when he was parting.He didn't know much about the relationship between a man and a woman, but the tearful eyes of the girl were like a pair of brand marks, deeply burned in his mind.Thinking of never seeing Zhu Wei again after leaving the palace, she felt lost, and sat silently by the bed until the rooster crowed. The next day, Zhu Wei was not summoned, she stayed in the dormitory, staying at home, and occasionally the sound of the piano came, with a sad and melodious tone.Le Zhiyang listened attentively, but he felt that the sound of the piano seemed to bind and bind him.I wanted to play the flute to respond, but when I took out the flute, I remembered that the bamboo pipe was broken and I couldn't bear to play any more.He was full of melancholy, unable to vent, wishing to break into the door, and told Zhu Wei that he didn't care about stone fish, life or death, as long as she said a word, he would rather stay in the palace, be with her every day, and play the piano Play the flute for the rest of your life.

Thinking of this, I feel angina again.Le Zhiyang suddenly remembered Leng Xuan's words, the magic needle attack is imminent, and his life is not long, let alone staying together forever, it is unknown whether he can survive tomorrow. He lay back on the bed listlessly, and the encounters of the past few days flowed through his heart, as if he had a big blurred dream. After lunch, Zhu Wei summoned him suddenly.Le Zhiyang cheered up and rushed to the bedroom.Before entering the door, a strange fragrance penetrated into the nostrils. Looking from a distance, the smoke was lingering. The little princess put her hands together and knelt in front of an altar.Zhu Wei's eyes were slightly closed, her pale face seemed to be illuminated by the jade statue.

Le Zhiyang looked at the girl, almost forgot to breathe, when he still woke up, the maids had quietly retreated. Zhu Wei let out a breath, stood up, and turned around.After seeing her overnight, her face became much haggard, her eyes were dim, and she was somewhat confused.Le Zhiyang's heartbeat suddenly became faster, his body seemed to be on fire, he wanted to take two steps forward, but probably because of the incense, his body was limp and he couldn't lift any strength. When the two looked at each other, Zhu Wei pointed to the mattress beside the piano case, and said, "Sit down!" Le Zhiyang hesitated and sat down resentfully.He peeked at the girl, Zhu Wei's face was cold and indifferent, and he couldn't see what was in his heart at all.

The little princess also sat down, leaning against the "Waterdrop Lianzhu", with her fingers on the strings, but her eyes were staring at the roof. Le Zhiyang coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "Princess, I, I..." Somehow, at this moment, he couldn't say a single word he had thought about. "Where's your flute?" Zhu Wei asked suddenly.Le Zhiyang took out the flute, the girl took it, glanced at it, and said softly, "It's really broken!" It turned out that Le Zhiyang blew twice yesterday, Zhu Wei is a bosom friend, as soon as he heard it, he knew the flute was damaged.She stroked the flute lightly, remained silent for a long time, picked up a long red sandalwood box from her side, and gently pushed it in front of Le Zhiyang.Le Zhiyang took the box, for no reason, only heard Zhu Wei say: "Open it and have a look!"

Le Zhiyang lifted the lid of the box, and on the bright yellow soft satin, there was an emerald flute.Ordinary flutes are only one foot and eight inches, but this flute is more than two feet long. It is carved out of a single piece of jadeite.The end of the flute is engraved with two ancient Liuyun seal scripts, the characters are inlaid with gold, slim and powerful, and there is another line of gossamer small seal script, which Le Zhiyang couldn't identify, so he frowned slightly. "These two big characters are pronounced as 'Kongbi', and this line of small characters says 'Shi Jilun was born in Cangwu Immortal Mansion.'" Zhu Wei's voice was very calm, "This jade flute,

It was originally given by Shi Chong in the Jin Dynasty to his concubine Luzhu.Luzhu is beautiful in appearance, and her skill in playing the flute is superb. Shi Chong loves her very much.Later, Sun Xiu, the chariot general, came to Shifu as a guest. Falling in love with the green bead at first sight, he sent an envoy to ask Shi Chong to give him the green bead. " Le Zhiyang was not happy to hear it, and thought: "You rich and powerful families, why do you always send people back and forth? Hmph, is that amazing?" Zhu Wei didn't notice his expression, and continued: "After Shi Chong heard this, he gathered all the beauties in the mansion and said: 'This is the beauties in my mansion, you can choose one of them!'

Sun Xiu's envoy said: "I was ordered to ask for the green pearl. Who is the green pearl among these women?" Unexpectedly, Shi Chong responded furiously, and shouted sharply, "Green Pearl is my beloved maidservant, and I will never give it away!" It is said that Shi Chong rebelled, and he should be punished.Sima Lun then sent armored soldiers to surround Shi Chong's mansion.At that time, Shi Chong was entertaining guests upstairs. When he saw Sun Xiu leading his troops to break through the door, he immediately knew what happened.He looked at Luzhu miserably, and said with a sigh: "Luzhu, Luzhu, my family is ruined today, and it's all because of you!"

Luzhu was very sad when she heard this, and said with tears: "Luzhu is not talented, I would rather die in front of adults!" Without waiting for Shi Chong to stop him, he took the kongbi and leaped from a tall building several zhang, falling to his death in front of Sun Xiu. " Le Zhiyang was startled when he heard this, and picked up the jade flute subconsciously, but felt that his hands were cold and slippery like fat, if there was a spiritual light flowing between the cold and blue colors, it was as if the soul of the green pearl fragrance was still alive, hiding in the jade flute, He couldn't help asking: "What happened next?"

Zhu Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Later Shi Chong's family was ransacked and his family was wiped out, all the young and old were killed. Speaking of which, this Shi Chong was rich and proud, and the concubines in the mansion, whoever disobeyed him, would not be spared. It is said that when Shi Chong was in power, the banquet Guests, let the beauties in the mansion persuade them to drink. If the guests can't finish the wine in the cup, they will behead the beauties who persuaded them. In this way, even if the guests are too strong to drink, they will drink it. Later, when the general Wang Dun came to the banquet, he also had a heart People like iron and stone stubbornly refused to drink, and wanted to see how Shi Chong would deal with it. Shi Chong killed three beauties in one go because of this matter. Alas, such a wicked person, when the incident came to an end, he sent him away for a maid playing the flute. I can't explain it if I lost my life, which is enough to show love!"

Le Zhiyang felt emotional in his heart, put down "Kongbi", looked up, and was meeting Zhu Wei's eyes.The girl's eyes were dark, her eyes were misty, and her tears were faintly visible, as if a cloud of smoke had shrouded the deep pool. Asked instantly, Le Zhiyang's mind went blank, and when he woke up, Zhu Wei was already in his arms.The girl curled up there, as soft as a kitten, with her white face upturned, her eyes flowing, her fingers as smooth as silk, she stroked from Le Zhiyang's temples to the corner of her mouth, as if she wanted to see through her hands and eyes. , Engraved his appearance in the bottom of my heart.

Le Zhiyang hugged her tightly, his arms almost used up all his strength, the forbidden city, palace, life and death, imperial power, all foreign objects had disappeared, and only the two of them were left in this world. Le Zhiyang was immersed in a wonderful emotion, first joy, then intoxication, and finally, an indescribable sadness welled up deep in his heart.He felt that the woman in his arms was weeping silently, and the tears slid down her temples, flowed over the back of his hands, and flowed into his heart. Sitting like this, I don't know how long it has passed, when they suddenly heard the sound of duk tuk, the two of them were startled, they separated, and looked at the prestige, a figure was projected on the window paper, and a cold and mysterious voice floated in: "His Royal Highness, Shi Chen Arrived!" Zhu Wei's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Eunuch Leng, please come in!" As soon as the words fell, a breeze blew up in the room, and Leng Xuan, dressed in white clothes, appeared in front of the two of them as if something had come out of nothing. Jumping wildly, but I feel that this person is not human, he is really a ghost. Holding the fly whisk in hand, Leng Xuan lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness, everything has been arranged properly, the only thing is to wait for the spell to feign death!" Zhu Wei hesitated for a moment, and said: "Eunuch Leng, is there really no risk in this matter?" Leng Xuan smiled and said: "Princess, don't worry, I will guarantee it with my life!" Zhu Wei nodded, looking at Le Zhiyang. Le Zhiyang stood up and faced Leng Xuan. When Leng Xuan stared at him for a while, he nodded, put his right hand and middle finger together, and lightly lifted it into the air. The futon of the Buddha jumped up and rolled down In front of Le Zhiyang.Seeing this magical skill, Le Zhiyang felt dazed, only suspected that it was in a dream, and heard Leng Xuan say: "Please sit down!" Le Zhiyang sat down cross-legged, and Leng Xuan also sat facing each other, with a dignified expression, his eyes slightly closed, and his haggard face revealed a crystal luster.Le Zhiyang was feeling strange, when suddenly he saw Leng Xuan raised his hand, raised two fingers in parallel, and tapped lightly to his left, Le Zhiyang felt a cold current pouring into his body, and immediately lost consciousness below the knee of his left leg .He was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to touch it. It was as wooden as a stone. It was strange, Leng Xuan pointed out again, and hit the back of his left knee, the cold flow poured in, and he lost all sensation above the knee, Le Zhiyang let out a soft cry, struggling to get up, Leng Xuan's hand was like lightning, and pointed at his right leg The cold flowed into the ankles, and I also lost sensation below the calves.Le Zhiyang struggled halfway, then sat down again with a plop, staring at Leng Xuan, full of fear in his heart, suddenly felt that Zhu Wei patted his shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, he just blocked your Meridians!" "Meridians?" Le Zhiyang was puzzled, and only heard Zhu Wei sigh: "He first tapped your 'Sanyinjiao', and then clicked on 'Yinlingquan', both of which are key points of the 'Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian'. Feng, if the blood does not flow, this leg will naturally not be able to move..." While speaking, Leng Xuan moved quickly and sometimes slowly, left and right, and tapped the key points of Le Zhiyang one after another, once he hit, he lost consciousness.The old eunuch's fingertips were very cold, and all the way down, Le Zhiyang's vitality was gradually wiped away. Before Zhu Wei finished speaking, Le Zhiyang from the waist down was like dead wood and rocks, and completely lost consciousness. At this time, Leng Xuan left his fly whisk, stood up, and slowly paced around Le Zhiyang. He walked faster and faster, with both hands outstretched, moving his fingers like the wind, and tapped Le Zhiyang's chest, back, left and right. arm.Le Zhiyang only felt a numbness from the index fingers of both hands, like a tide rushing to his heart, and in a blink of an eye, he also lost sensation from his lower abdomen to his shoulders. Leng Xuan's strikes became faster and faster, his momentum was like a crossbow's cold lightning, and his movement was as swift as a gust of wind. Zhu Wei felt dazzled as he watched.Suddenly, Le Zhiyang let out an "ah", followed by Leng Xuan's finger flying out, hitting the "Tiantu point" in his throat, Le Zhiyang's cry stopped abruptly, as if he was cut off alive. . Zhu Wei's heart tightened, "Tiantu" is an important acupoint on the body, and it is also a deadly acupoint. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but rush forward.Before he got close, he suddenly felt a gust of cold air hit the "dantian" of his lower abdomen, Zhu Wei's blood was congealed by it, and he froze on the spot.She had a bad intuition, and a thought popped up: "No, Eunuch Leng wants to harm Le Zhiyang!" But after thinking about it, if Leng Xuan wanted to harm someone, there was no need to go through a lot of trouble. It is really puzzling that it takes time and effort now. . When he was anxious, Leng Xuan suddenly slowed down again, his body was like flowing clouds and flowing water, and he circled Le Zhiyang slowly, sometimes twice, before he swung his finger and pointed at the key point on Le Zhiyang's head.His moves slowed down, Zhu Wei could see clearly, all the acupuncture points belonged to the "Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian", the head is the head of the six yang, it is really not easy to seal the vitality without injuring the brain Because of this, Leng Xuan's eyes were wide open, his eyes shot out, and his facial muscles twitched slightly, obviously struggling. After clicking the "Sanjiao Meridian", click the "Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian", in this meridian, "Tianchong", "Naokong", "Yangbai" and other acupoints are almost dead at the touch of a touch, so Lengxuan's action is more effective. Slowly, his feet were muddy and watery, his fingers felt like a heavy weight, a faint blueness appeared on his face, and large wet marks appeared on the clothes behind him.Ever since Zhu Wei knew him, the old eunuch has never seen him struggling so much.Thinking of this, the doubts in my heart slightly eased, and I tried to open my eyes wide, watching Leng Xuan's every move. Not long after, Leng Xuan clicked all the points of the "Biliary Meridian", turned to Le Zhiyang, and sealed off the Ren Meridian.This time the attack was very fast, after a while, he dodged, and went behind Le Zhiyang, sealing the Du Meridian acupoints. Lezhi Yangmu sat there blankly, most of his body had lost consciousness, his ears were silent, his nose didn't smell the smell, his mouth didn't know where it went, only his eyes could see things, but they were also blurry and dizzy sleep.He tried his best to open his eyelids, and in a trance, a white shadow flickered in front of him, and an old face of Leng Xuan appeared.The old eunuch raised his eyebrows upside down, pursed his lips, slowly raised his right hand, pointing at the center of his brow with his fingers like a sword.With a whoosh, a gust of cold air penetrated into his forehead, and Le Zhiyang's head buzzed, followed by his eyes turning black, without a trace of consciousness. Suddenly, a tremor surged from below, and Le Zhiyang woke up from the emptiness and emptiness. The surroundings were pitch black and filled with the smell of mud.He struggled for a while, unable to control his hands and feet, and there was a rustling sound from above. After a while, the sound gradually disappeared, and the surroundings became silent. Le Zhiyang felt that his heart began to beat, and a warm air flowed from his heart to his limbs. When the heat flow arrived, he felt a sensation in his hands and feet, and a tingling feeling came out of his bone marrow, which made people feel unimaginably uncomfortable.After a while, the numbness subsided, and the suffocation reappeared, as if a big stone was pressed on the chest, and the weight of the stone became heavier and heavier, which was really indescribably uncomfortable.He squirmed his limbs and felt that he had strength. He groped both sides with his hands, and they were both thick wooden boards. He touched the top, but it was a curved board, which was smooth and painted with a large layer of lacquer. His mind was blurred at first, but gradually became clear at this moment, Le Zhiyang suddenly understood that at this moment, he was inside a coffin, the strange response before was the sound of falling soil, and the top of the coffin was soil.Unfortunately, he was buried alive. Le Zhiyang became anxious and beat the coffin board hard.The sound of thumping echoed in his ears, and he felt dizzy, but the coffin boards did not move at all, the air in the coffin was limited, and under the struggle, it was consumed faster, and the pressure in his chest became more and more serious, and his chest was almost about to explode. Le Zhiyang's eyes flashed with golden light, and he subconsciously thought that there was something wrong here - Leng Xuan didn't come in time, maybe when he came, he would have already suffocated to death, or the old eunuch had ulterior motives and planned to bury him alive he.That's right, in this way, Le Zhiyang was buried as an eunuch, and his death was justified, and it would definitely not damage Princess Baohui's reputation. It's ridiculous that he believed it and fell into the trap of the old eunuch.Wait a minute, if you really want to kill yourself, wouldn't it be troublesome to bury him alive? With Leng Xuan's ability, he can kill him with a single finger. Le Zhiyang was puzzled, his breathing became more and more difficult, as if a pair of big hands were strangling his neck tightly. In desperation, he found a long box, opened the lid, and it was the "Kongbi" that was placed inside. The coffin was very dark and gloomy, and even the rare jade lost its luster.Le Zhiyang held the jade flute in his hand, and a terrible thought came to his mind: Did Zhu Wei know about this? Otherwise, why did she cry? This jade flute may not be a gift, but a funeral object. This thought flashed by, and Le Zhiyang couldn't help being furious.He beat the coffin lid with his flute, and the emerald was surprisingly hard, leaving deep dents on the wooden board. This burst of anger made him exhausted, and at the fifth knock, Le Zhiyang's whole body was paralyzed, his mind was confused, countless thoughts were intertwined, and he couldn't solve them. There was a sudden shock, and the coffin shook.Before Le Zhiyang understood what happened, his body was jolted suddenly, and his head hit the coffin lid.Immediately afterwards, the coffin lid was lifted, and the cold air came in, poured into the mouth and nose, and the paralyzed heart also beat.Le Zhiyang opened his eyes, only to see the stars and the moon all over the sky, especially bright under the night. "Come out!" Leng Xuan's voice was sharp and powerful, it was late at night, chirping like a ghost. After hearing this, Le Zhiyang regained his confidence.He took a deep breath, and suddenly regained strength in his hands and feet. He immediately jumped up and stood up. Looking away, Leng Xuan was standing not far away.The old eunuch changed the color of his clothes, the green clothes and the cap made his cheeks thin and pale. Surrounded by undulating tombs, the vines are luxuriant, trembling in the night wind, and a cloud of wild smoke surges up, like many erratic ghosts. "Le Zhiyang..." A voice was soft and thin, with hesitation amidst excitement. Besides Leng Xuan, is there anyone else? Le Zhiyang followed the reputation, and there was a figure standing behind the old eunuch. The figure moved and walked out from behind Leng Xuan. It was a young man in yellow, holding a long sword in his hand. His shoulders were thin, his limbs were slender, his cheeks were as smooth as jade, and his eyebrows were flying obliquely like emerald feathers. Under his eyebrows, there was a pair of Black and white eyes. The boy stared at him, half crying and half laughing, Le Zhiyang was stunned, suddenly screamed, jumped out of the coffin, a gust of wind rushed to the boy, stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms.The young man struggled a little, his body softened, his voice was low and inaudible, as if he was sighing lightly: "Le Zhiyang, you are still alive..." "Still alive, still alive!" Le Zhiyang was extremely excited when he escaped from death, and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Your Highness, why are you here?" Suddenly hearing Leng Xuan's angry snort, the two of them realized that there was someone else, and hurriedly separated.The old eunuch's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Your Highness, don't forget your identity." Zhu Wei's face was on fire, and he lowered his head.Leng Xuan glanced at Le Zhiyang again, and said, "Little devil, don't be too presumptuous!" Le Zhiyang was dizzy, as if in a dream, looked around and asked, "Eunuch Leng, what is this place?" "This is a mass grave in the north of the city. Homeless court ladies and eunuchs are all buried here. Those who are favored have an extra coffin, and those who are not are just wrapped in reed mats and thrown into the pit!" Leng Xuan said here, scanning The tombs around looked a little bleak. Le Zhiyang scratched his head, and the lingering fear in his heart still persisted: "Eunuch Leng, if you come later, I will not survive!" Leng Xuan snorted, and said coldly: "Well, you have to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess! " Zhu Wei's face turned red and then pale, and said: "Le Zhiyang, it's all my fault. I saw you sealed in the coffin, and I felt very uneasy. I wanted to see you come back, so I pestered Eunuch Leng and insisted on leaving the palace. I can't be entangled, so I have to take me out of the palace, so there will be some delays on the way, alas, it's only because of my self-willedness, it almost killed you..." Thinking about it, I felt scared and shivered. "It's okay, it's okay!" Le Zhiyang waved his hands again and again, "I thought I'd never see you again, if I can see you like this, it doesn't matter if I die again!" Zhu Wei's heart was as sweet as honey, but he scolded him: "Be as poor as you are, one death is enough for a person, how many more times can you die?" Le Zhiyang said with a smile: "Isn't there a saying called Nine Deaths? It seems that people may be able to die Nine times!" "Nonsense!" Zhu Wei was annoyed and funny, "That's not what you mean by narrow escape!" Le Zhiyang smiled and was about to speak, Leng Xuan suddenly looked at the sky, and said: "It's getting late, where is the Lingdao stone fish?" Le Zhiyang said: "On the bank of the Qinhuai River!" Leng Xuan glanced at him , Said lightly: "Now it is three quarters of Yin time, half an hour later, the Holy Majesty will get up, there is morning court today, and the court will be retired at noon at the latest, and I have to go back at Si time. As for the princess, I can't hide it from others, but I can't hide it from Baohui Palace." Palace people, if you don’t return to the palace before noon, everyone will be alarmed. Counting from now, we still have two and a half hours, boy, don’t be perfunctory with me, or you will make a hole in this day.” "Don't dare, dare not." Le Zhiyang said with a smile, "Eunuch Leng's martial arts skills are world-class, so I don't think anything will be difficult for you." Leng Xuan snorted and said, "Martial arts are world-class? It's not easy! There is only one person in the world who can afford these four words!" Le Zhiyang blurted out, "Who?" Leng Xuan didn't say a word, turned his head and looked towards the west, where the cold moon was half gone, falling silently.Leng Xuan looked at it for a while, then heaved a long sigh.Zhu Wei couldn't help asking: "Eunuch Leng, why are you sighing?" "It's nothing." Leng Xuan picked up a bag and threw it to Le Zhiyang, "I changed it to this." Le Zhiyang opened it and saw that it was a set of blue satin clothes.When he was buried, he was wearing a eunuch's attire, and when people saw him, he couldn't help showing off. He looked at Zhu Wei thoughtfully, the little princess blushed, and silently turned her head away.Le Zhiyang changed his clothes, Leng Xuan had already sealed the coffin, filled it with earth and rocks, and said: "Let's go!" He took a step forward and walked towards the Qinhuai River first. Le Zhiyang looked at Zhu Wei, the latter smiled like a flower, and his beautiful eyes were shining, Le Zhiyang felt his heart warm, and suddenly stretched out his hand, holding her little hand.The girl's palm is slender, weak and boneless, her skin is smooth and smooth, holding it in her hand is like holding a piece of nephrite jade. Zhu Wei didn't expect this kid to be so bold, he struggled subconsciously, but he couldn't get away.Looking up, Le Zhiyang looked at her with a smile, showing a mouthful of white and neat teeth, The light of the stars and the moon outlines the handsome and bright face of the young man.Zhu Wei stared in a daze, thinking: "So he is so good-looking!" Le Zhiyang picked up the jade flute and said: "Princess, you threw the flute into the coffin..." Zhu smiled and said: "This flute is for you!" Le Zhiyang was surprised: "How can I do that?" "Why not?" Zhu Wei stretched out her finger and stroked the ancient relic, "This flute was given to me by Brother Seventeen on my tenth birthday. Unfortunately, I am not good at playing the flute, so I put it here and buried it in vain. Take it. The sword matches the hero, and I’ll pass it on to you, and I’m sure you’ll be very pleased if you know it in the green bead.” Speaking of this, she thought of something again, reached into her sleeve, took out a gold thread, passed it through the flute hole, and tied it on the musical instrument. Zhi Yang put it on his waist, tied it and said: "Golden jadeite, gold jadeite, emerald and gold look good together!" The blood in Le Zhiyang's heart was surging, and he was about to say something when Leng Xuan coughed in front of him, turned to look at the two of them, and frowned tightly.Zhu Wei blushed, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Le Zhiyang grabbed her and pulled her forward.Leng Xuan stared at the two of them sullenly, but it was inconvenient to say more, so he hunched over and followed. When we arrived at the Qinhuai River, the sky was already twilight, and under the sunlight, the river was blue, like a fine silk satin.The Qinlou and Chu pavilions on both sides of the strait exhausted their thoughts last night. At this moment, they are falling asleep soundly. The morning breeze was blowing, and it was cold and cold, but Le Zhiyang's heart seemed to be ignited with a flame, facing the cool morning breeze, he was particularly refreshed.He pointed to the buildings by the river, and told Zhu Wei all kinds of anecdotes: who won the oiran here; He is also good at acrobatics, his body is as soft as cotton, and he can drill through small golden circles; on that section of the river, he competed with lanterns during the Qixi Festival, and Le Zhiyang was lucky. He guessed a few lantern riddles and won a lot of money.The lantern riddles must be told to Zhu Wei one by one. As for the gray and desolate big house, it was also very lively at that time. Later, a famous prostitute failed in love and was deceived by a benefactor. She threw herself into the river and turned into a ghost. From then on, he made trouble in the house, causing women to throw water there every year, so it became deserted day by day. It was the first time in Zhu Wei's life that he traveled out of the palace, and everything he saw was new.Le Zhiyang was even more playful, and even a simple matter could be said in his mouth full of wit and wit.Hearing the female ghost's mischief, Zhu Weiwei opened his mouth slightly, his eyes widened, and he held onto Le Zhiyang tightly.Seeing that she was afraid, Le Zhiyang became more energetic, and made up a few stories about famous prostitutes being humiliated and turned into ghosts. The stories were so sad and miserable that the little princess turned pale with fright, and felt tense and relaxed for a while. , Subconsciously approaching the boy, not daring to lag behind. Le Zhiyang was very proud of himself, thinking to himself that many princes and dignitaries came here to seek pleasure, but he was probably the first person who took Princess Daming to swim the Qinhuai River.This little princess is naive and shy, so she can be amusing, but it's a pity that the river is deserted during the day, and there is an old eunuch with a cold face following her, so she can't play around wildly. He thought the old eunuch was an eyesore, but he didn't know that Leng Xuan was also full of anger.It turned out that time was running out, and I wanted to go back to the palace immediately after the treasure hunt, but Le Zhiyang was walking along the river, just talking nonsense, the two young men and women joined hands side by side, laughing at each other, even the lovers who went outing are not as close as they are.Unknowingly, a Qinhuai River has come to an end.Leng Xuan endured again and again, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Stinky boy, where is the stone fish?" Le Zhiyang slapped his forehead when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Oh, I was just talking, and I almost forgot about this important event, um..." He looked around, his face changed, "No, I remembered wrongly, The stone fish is not here, it is, it is..." Scratching his head while talking, the old eunuch suddenly frowned, with a murderous look on his face, and laughed quickly, "I remembered, the stone fish is hiding in the Confucius Temple!" "How dare you brat!" Leng Xuan trembled angrily, just passed the Confucius Temple, Le Zhiyang turned a blind eye to it, if he wants to go back now, he has to walk the Qinhuai River again.The old eunuch shot like lightning and grabbed Le Zhiyang's left shoulder. The boy was in pain, and immediately screamed.Leng Xuan shouted sharply, "Brat, I can make you live or die, if you lie to me again, I will kill you!" He was gritting his teeth fiercely, but unexpectedly, his white slender hand brushed gently, and five wisps of strong wind penetrated directly through the meridians. With the power of Leng Xuan, he also felt the back of his hand numb. , meaning very charming.Leng Xuan's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly let go of his five fingers, took a step back and said, "'Fu Ying Shou' is well-deserved of its reputation, Leng made a move in a hurry, I hope the princess will forgive me!" Zhu Wei stroked the sore spot on his wrist, secretly astonished in his heart, the flick just now was indeed the 'Shadow Hand' of 'Taihao Valley', the Yin energy between his fingers seemed to be harmless, but it could hurt people's meridians , Bad people's internal organs, designed to destroy all kinds of infuriating body protection.Not only did Leng Xuan act nonchalantly, he grabbed her with his backhand, almost breaking her 'Ningxia Divine Art' and crushing her wrist bones. "Eunuch Leng!" Zhu Wei calmed down and forced a smile, "Didn't Le Zhiyang say that? He just talked to me and forgot about the stone fish for a while. Humans are not sages, so there is nothing wrong with them. God also has the virtue of being good at life." , Eunuch Leng, how could you kill someone because of a small mistake?" Leng Xuan suppressed his anger and said: "The princess doesn't know something, this kid is talking nonsense, God knows what he has in mind?" "Nonsense?" Zhu Wei glanced at Le Zhiyang, who touched his shoulder with a look of grievance, Zhu Wei couldn't help but blurt out, "I think he is very good, everything he said is the truth!" Leng Xuan said angrily: "You see that everything he says is the truth, just because you treated him..." At this point, Zhu Wei looked at him and asked, "What am I treating him?" Leng Xuan hummed She sighed and said: "Some words are not pleasant to say, the princess understands in her heart." "I don't understand at all!" Zhu Wei remained calm, "Just wait for Eunuch Leng to enlighten me!" Leng Xuan stared at the princess, his face turned green and pale, swallowed hard, and suddenly smiled dryly: "Your Highness, the princess is a body of gold, why should I be as knowledgeable as an old slave? Time is running out, so I took the stone fish and returned to the palace as soon as possible." Seriously! I am angry with this kid, and it is all because of the princess!" "For me?" Zhu Wei sneered slightly, "I'm afraid it's for yourself, Eunuch Leng, what should you do if you kidnapped me out of the palace?" , I promised to take you out of the palace..." Zhu smiled slightly and said, "Who saw me pestering you? When you get to the emperor's place, does he believe you or me?" Leng Xuan was both startled and angry, and he felt a sense of remorse, only because he couldn't bear to pester him, he made this little princess cry and make trouble, and took her out of the deep palace, now it's easy to come out, but it's hard to go back.He felt that he had fallen into a trap, so he could only swallow his anger, and said slowly: "Your Highness, the old slave is impatient for a while, it is impolite, I hope the princess will put the overall situation first, and don't make things difficult for the old slave." Zhu Wei said: "It's easy to say, if you don't make things difficult for Le Zhiyang, I won't make things difficult for you!" Leng Xuan had a dark temple in his heart, and squinted at Le Zhiyang, with his hands behind his back, as if he had found a backer, with a smile on his face, very proud.Leng Xuan was so angry that his heart ached, he wished he could kick this kid into the river to feed the fish. They had no choice but to turn around and return to the Confucius Temple. After walking a hundred steps, Le Zhiyang suddenly said, "After walking for a long time, Her Royal Highness must be thirsty? There is a 'Xianyueju' over there. The tea is good and the snacks are even better. , Sitting upstairs, you can have a panoramic view of the Qinhuai River, it is really a rare good place in the world!" Hearing this, Leng Xuan almost burst into anger, but it was inconvenient to beat him, so he had to say loudly: "Time is too urgent, it is serious to get that thing!" Le Zhiyang suddenly became deaf, and said to himself with a smile: "It's a pity that it's daytime, and the beauty of the Qinhuai River is at night. It's rare for the princess to come out of the palace to get some fresh air. The second-rate scenery, drinking tea, eating snacks, and looking at the scenery of the river are not in vain." Zhu Wei understood Le Zhiyang's thoughts, knew that he was reluctant to part with him, and tried every means to delay the time. These two and a half hours are usually not short, but at this moment they go like flying arrows. I can't get out either.Thinking of this, my heart felt sad, and regardless of Leng Xuan's ugly face, he forced a smile and said: "As you said, I am also a little hungry. As you said, I will go drink tea and eat snacks!" Leng Xuan hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness..." Zhu smiled and said: "Eunuch Leng, don't worry, I have my own discretion. However, this place is not like the palace, you and I have to change our names. When we arrive at the teahouse, my name is You, Mr. Leng, just call me Xiao Zhu!" Leng Xuan said: "I dare not!" As he spoke, he glanced at Le Zhiyang, with fierce eyes, wishing to gouge out two pieces of flesh from this boy.Although he was annoyed in his heart, he couldn't resist the two younger ones, so he followed them to "Xianyueju". This tea house is about three floors high, with red railings and blue tiles, facing the mist of the river, it is very spacious and elegant.At that time in the morning, the upstairs was deserted and there were no tea customers. The three of them sat down on the third floor facing the river and had a pot of Mingqian Longjing and four kinds of high-quality dim sum. .Le Zhiyang smiled and pointed to the river, talking about some romantic and interesting things, Zhu Wei listened silently, only felt that it was Ye Feiye, like a dream.It's a pity that in all dreams, there is always a time to wake up. Such an opportunity may never come again.She looked down at the froth in the cup, and suddenly felt a feeling of involuntary ups and downs and unknowable ups and downs. When I was sad, I suddenly heard a clear song from the river: "Six generations of prosperity, spring is gone, and there is no news. Empty looking, mountains and rivers are victorious, it is not the past. The two swallows in front of Wang Xietang, and the Wuyi Lane have met each other. Listen to the night, loneliness hits the lonely city, the spring tide is urgent. Thinking. The past is full of sorrow. Nostalgia for the old country, nothing but old traces. But the smoke and grass decay, the crows slant the sun. Yushu sings in the late autumn and the dew is cold, and the rouge well is bad and cold. Up to now, only Jiangshan is green and Qinhuai is green!" This que "Manjianghong" sings ups and downs, and the river is full of sound. The high part pierces the clouds and cracks the rocks, and the low part is like twisting fingers of fine steel, continuous and continuous.After a song is sung, the aftertaste is long, like a frost bell ringing in the empty valley, which will not dissipate for a long time. Zhu Wei was overwhelmed with astonishment, and looked at the reputation, and saw a small boat drifting down from the upper reaches, and a young monk stood at the bow, tall and handsome, with a moon-white monk's robe fluttering in the wind, like clouds and fog, covering the whole world. round moon.Zhu Wei couldn't help applauding secretly: "Good singing voice, good demeanor!" The singing disturbed both sides of the strait, prostitutes rushed out from the attic of the water pavilion, and when they saw the monk, they all waved and laughed.The monk in white also raised his eyebrows and smiled, his left sleeve was rolled up, and he gestured to the women frequently. Zhu Wei was very surprised, and asked: "Who is this monk? He is a monk, why is he so familiar with these prostitutes?" Le Zhiyang smiled and said: "I don't know this monk, but I have heard of it. He himself Known as 'Love Monk', he hangs out by the Qinhuai River for many years, I heard that his music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all superb, plus he is handsome and has a moving singing voice, all the famous prostitutes by the river can't get along with him." Hearing this, Zhu Wei felt contemptuous, and said, "As a Buddhist, how could he hang around in Huajie and Liuxiang? What 'love monk', hmph, I think it should be called 'kinky monk'!" He was contemptuous in his mouth, but regretful in his heart: "It's a pity that he has such a good demeanor. Alas, when it comes to the beauty of singing, Brother Seventeen is inferior to him!" Leng Xuan snorted suddenly, and said: "Walking around the flower street and willow alley may not be an obscene monk, but sitting on the top of a temple may not be a gentleman. Lu Dongbin said in "Knocking Yao Song": "A man of Taoism is a true man, and wine is Good friends and flowers are companions, looking for real people in Huajie and Liuxiang, real people only play in Huajie!' No drinking and sex, but a third-rate way of doing things, don't look at those eminent monks and great virtues. The first word is a monk, the third word is a ghost music official, and the fourth word is a hungry ghost in color!" Le Zhiyang heard it interesting, and said with a smile: "Is there a difference in Taoism? The third rate is like this, so what about the second rate?" Leng Xuandao: "Second-rate Taoists think about drinking when they see wine, and think about sex when they see sex. They are often tempted by the world, but they are often able to rein in the precipice and keep their heart in impossible places. This is like walking on a single-plank bridge. It is the turbulent world, if one wrong step, one will be swallowed up by the world. This first-class person, although walking hard, is better than those hypocrites and fake monks." "Where is the first rate?" Le Zhiyang asked again. The first-class Taoism, drinking without getting intoxicated, seeing sex without being promiscuous, coming in and out, coming and going, harmonizing with the light, with the dust, coming out of the mud without being stained, mixing with the world without being stained with red dust, even if you linger in the world Flower streets and willow alleys will not lose the heart of a child!" Le Zhiyang smiled and said: "This argument is very interesting, so dare to ask Mr. Leng, Mr. Leng, how high is this monk?" Leng Xuan smiled without answering, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "You two, drink Is that enough?" Before Zhu Wei could answer, Le Zhiyang rushed to say: "Not enough!" Leng Xuan glanced at him, surprisingly not angry, sighed and said: "Forget it, I can't leave anyway! " 乐之扬二人面面相对，朱微怪道：“怎么走不了?”冷玄眉头一耸，沉默不答。 乐之扬心知有异，掉头看去，白衣僧袖袍潇洒，身如行云流水，向“仙月居”款步走来。 朱微与乐之扬对望一眼，均能看见对方眼里的诧异。悄没声息间，白衣僧上了三楼，近了看时，这和尚身量甚高，超出常人一头，四体修长匀称，肤色莹白光润，至于面容五官，更是俊秀得不似男子，如描如画，顾盼有情。看见三人，他微微一笑，仿佛花开月明，整座茶楼也无端明亮起来。乐之扬纵是男子，见这笑容，也不由面红心跳，偷眼看向朱微，少女也盯着和尚，眉间透出一丝迷茫。 白衣僧走了两步，在角落处一张桌边坐下，朗声说道：“茶博士，来一壶君山碧螺春。”声音清朗，有如玉石相击。 不一时，茶博士奉茶上桌，白衣僧若无其事，自斟自品，正眼也不看向这边。冷玄却微微皱眉，手托茶杯，既不啜饮，也不放下。 突然间，河岸边又起了一阵喧哗，乐之扬心生好奇，趴在窗边探头看去，河街上走来一个中年男子，身着银白长儒衫，头戴镂银珍珠冠，面容蜡黄透青，似乎有病在身，步子虚浮不稳，行走间偏偏欲倒。 在他身后不远，跟着一群男女。有的袒胸露乳，分明是个屠夫；有的腰系围裙，袖子油晃晃的，大约是个厨子。这些人一个个大呼小叫，跑得气喘吁吁，可是不论如何奔跑，也赶不上病恹恹的银衫男子． 乐之扬心中大奇，凝日细看，发现银衫男子身后，除了那群男女，还有许多奇怪东西，有杀猪的屠刀、挂肉的铁钩、炒菜的铁锅、烧火的铁棍儿，乃至于铁盆、铁铲、铁锚、铁锄……这些东西都如活了一般，有的连蹦带跳，有的噌噌滑行，还有的丁零哐啷向前翻滚，无论大小长短，全都围绕在银衫人身边。 银衫人若无其事，步子忽慢忽快，慢时一步一尺，快时一步一丈，经过一家绣花铺子，铺子里嗖嗖嗖飞出一大蓬绣花细针，密密麻麻，好似群蜂出巢。乐之扬正要惊呼，银衫人将手一扬，脚边的一口铁锅托地跳起，叮叮叮之声不绝，漫天针雨不知去向。绣花铺的老板娘不知发生何事，给针上的丝线扯了出来，这一瞧，吓得目定口呆，扶着门框，双腿一阵阵发软。 追赶的人群也觉不妙，先后停了下来，呆愣愣地远远观望。银衫人带着一群铁器，徐徐走近“仙月居”，抬头看了看招牌，举手遮口，咳嗽两声，左手向地画个圈儿，又是叮叮当当一阵响，满地的铁器跳跃而起，横七竖八地抱成一个铁球。银衫人漫不经意，伸手提起那个铁球，就像是提了一篮子糖果，摇摇晃晃地走进大门。 三楼众人只听咚咚有声，整座木楼吱嘎作响。不一时，银衫人冒出头来，扫了众人一眼，将铁球向前一滚，来到一张桌边坐下，有气没力地说：“茶博士，六安瓜片一碗!” 茶博士面色惨白，贴着墙根下楼取茶。银衫人坐在那儿，呼呼喘着粗气。乐之扬见那无数铁器黏合成球，聚而不散，古怪之处匪夷所思，心中一时好奇，死盯铁球不放，冷不防银衫人一掉头，双目冷冷看来，乐之扬与他目光一遇，不觉浑身一抖，慌忙垂下眼皮。 这时河岸边又是一阵惊呼，两岸房舍中冲出不少人来，冲着远处指指点点。乐之扬转眼一瞧，“呀”的惊叫起来。只见远处一艘乌篷小船，离水数尺，向着这方冉冉飞来，船头趴了一个船娘，船尾趴着一个艄公，两人面如土色，向着两岸尖叫挥手。 天上飞舟!光天化日之下，出了咄咄怪事。乐之扬心子狂跳，看着那飞舟越来越近。突然间，他看出其中的奥妙，飞舟并非无所凭借，船下站了一个人，双手朝天，奋力托起船只，在他双脚之下，踩了一对高跷，形如长脚鹭鸶，大步流星地向这边走来。 乐之扬失笑道：“这法儿有趣，有工夫我也试试!” “不知天高地厚!”朱微轻轻摇头，“人家做来有趣，换了你，一步也走不动。”乐之扬怪道：“那是为何?” “你瞧!”朱微指着河上，“那高跷是大竹子造的，下了水一定漂浮起来。踩高跷的人一旦下水，双脚忽高忽低，一定东倒西歪，是以他扛了船只行走，连人带船足有一千多斤，好比压船的锭子，压得高跷深入水底。可是这么一来，比起平地又多了一层流水的阻力。高跷越长，阻力越大，没有千斤的气力，休想走得动一步!” “光有力气也成不了事!”冷玄慢慢说道，“这里面还有极高明的内家功夫，没有一等一的巧劲，就算不从高跷上掉下来，也把这两根大竹子踩断了!” 话才说完，一边的银衫人哼了一声，乐之扬转眼望去，那人只顾喝茶，正眼也不看向这边。 高跷长得出奇，来人一步丈许，不一会儿来到仙月居前，忽地停下步子，将乌篷船轻轻一掷，丢在河上。竹子高跷失去船只压制，从河里浮了起来。那人借此浮力，腾空跃起，半空中拧转身形，“笃”的一声，高跷落在茶楼之前，刺穿了下面的青砖，颤巍巍地插在地上。 那人“呵”的一笑，甩开高跷，跳进茶楼，丢下两根长竹竖在楼前来回摇晃。 乐之扬细看来人，但见他年约四旬，瘦脸长须，穿一身斑斓花衣，衣带松松垮垮，眉宇间透出几分诙谐，乍一看，倒像是街边卖艺的杂耍艺人，决想不到他方才的惊世之举。 花衣人扫了众人一眼，张口便笑：“施南庭，你来得挺早!”银衫人唔了一声，说道：“怎么只有你一个?杨风来呢?” 花衣人笑道：“我们来时打了个赌，我从河面上行走，双脚不能沾上一滴河水，他从屋檐上来，手脚不得碰到一片瓦甍，看谁先到此间。如今我先到一步，看样子，他的老毛病又犯了，这房屋层层叠叠，对他来说，简直就是一座迷宫!”说到这儿，他掉头一笑，“瞧，他也来了!” 众人转眼望去，一个黑衣人身如龙蛇，在对岸的屋檐间上下起伏，他的手里拿着两条细细长长的白绫，好似两样活物，轮番缠绕屋角飞檐，一缠一晃，就越过一座房屋，下方有人看见，纷纷惊呼起来。 转眼之间，那人来到茶楼对岸。花衣人笑道：“这下子有趣，看他怎么过河?”只见那人左手的白绫绕住檐角，在半空中停顿了一下，跟着身子晃荡，穿空跃出，跳到河水上方，右手白绫射出，不长不短，缠住了花衣人丢在河心的乌篷船。船只一歪一沉，那人身如旋风，滴溜溜蹿起老高，左手白绫挥出，又缠住了花衣人插在楼前的两根高跷。高跷应力弯曲，化为了一张弹弓，白绫好比弹弓上的皮筋，“嗖”的一声，将黑衣人弹了进来。 “杨风来!”花衣人大呼小叫，“船是我带来的，高跷是我插下的，怎么全成了你借力的玩意儿?这也太没天理了吧!” 杨风来不高偏矮，两撇八字须稀稀拉拉，听了这话，两眼一翻，开口就骂：“明斗，你还有脸说，你跟我说，仙月居在夫子庙，我绕着夫子庙转了一圈，别说仙月居，狗日楼也没看见一座。你把我骗到夫子庙，自己却颠颠地跑过来。不算，不算，这一场赌斗不算!” 明斗笑道：“杨风来，两年前你不是来过吗?谁叫你自己不记得路?我说夫子庙，就是夫子庙吗?我又不是你爹，你干吗要听我的!” 杨风来一时噎住，气得两眼翻白。忽听施南庭叹道：“明斗，你这话强词夺理了，你明知道老杨是个路痴，你却乱指方向，不是使诈是什么?”杨风来连连点头：“老施说得在理!” 明斗笑道：“在什么理?兵不厌诈，将军打仗还要使诈呢。反正我先到一步，杨风来，愿赌服输，快把彩头拿来!” 杨风来嘀咕两声，从怀里拿出一个盒子，正要开盒，明斗一把夺过，笑道：“茶博士，取三只黑瓷兔毫碗，ＸＸＸ把烧好的水提一壶上来!” 茶博士见了这几人的本事，早已神魂俱失。他应声拿来水壶瓷碗，明斗揭开盒子，拈出一小撮茶叶，丢在兔毫碗里，茶色苍青发白，看来无甚奇处，可是沸水冲下，楼中登时弥漫出一股奇香，半似茶香，半似乳香，可又不同于这两种香气，倒有一股子勾魂荡魄的韵味。 施南庭盯着那茶，面露诧异：“这是什么茶?香得这么古怪?” 杨风来黑脸涨紫，没有出声。明斗却笑道：“我知道，这茶名叫神婴茶!是老杨从一个妖道手里夺来的!”施南庭怪道：“神婴茶?为何取这样的名字?”． 明斗笑道：“顾名思义，这茶就如婴儿一样，喝着人奶长大的。”他见施南庭还在疑惑，不由笑道，“老施你太方正，不知世事之险恶。明说了吧，种茶的妖道不知从哪儿得来的妖方，捉了许多正当哺乳的妇人，日日用乳汁浇灌茶树，茶树长出种子，复又种在地里。这么长了种，种了长，连长了九茬，才得到这样的茶香茶色，那妖道鬼迷心窍，认为此茶食乳而生，好比元婴童子，久喝此茶，可以得道成仙。” 施南庭看了看碗中茶水，皱眉说：“那妖道在哪儿?”明斗一笑，回头看向杨风来，后者漫不经意地说：“他没成仙，倒成了鬼!”施南庭道：“你杀了他?” 杨风来道：“他抓走了乳母，饿死了婴儿，我凑巧路过，顺手管了一下!”施南庭点头道：“杀得好!”一边的茶博士听见杀人之事，吓得两股战战，几乎站立不稳。 明斗笑笑嘻嘻，端起茶碗喝了一口，赞道：“奇香流荡，回味无穷，好茶，好茶，没准儿再喝几口，明某就化成一阵风，直奔南天门去了!”杨风来“呸”了一声，说道：“你进了南天门，也是一只皮猴子!”说完端起茶碗，也品了一口，闭上双目，摇头晃脑，意似大有回味。 乐之扬凑近朱微耳边，轻声说：“看上去挺好喝呢!”少女狠狠白他一眼，咬牙说：“你要敢喝一口，我、我一辈子也不理你!”乐之扬诧道：“这为什么?”朱微想了想，低声说：“妖道的妖茶，人喝了也有一股妖气!”乐之扬瞅她一眼，笑道：“妖气也未必，怕有一股乳臭气!”朱微被他说破心事，又羞又恼，啐道：“你要喝便喝，我才懒得管你!” “小兄弟要喝吗?”明斗忽地掉过头来，冲乐之扬一笑，“佳茗共欣赏，见面即是有缘!”说完冲一碗茶，手指轻轻一挑，“嗖”的一声向乐之扬掷来。 碗茶平平飞出，似有无形之手从下托住。乐之扬正要伸手去接，忽听朱微喝道：“别动!”说着纤手挥出，指尖拂中茶碗边缘，那只兔毫碗风车似的旋转起来，碗中的茶水受了激发，冲起尺许来高，如涛如雪，晶莹亮白。 朱微一碰那碗，一股潮红涌上双颊，不由得起身后退，“喀喇”一声，座椅靠背拦腰折断。少女去势不止，“砰”的一声又撞上了身后的一根圆柱，整座阁楼轻轻一震，木梁上扑簌簌地落下了许多灰尘。 冷玄伸出手来，接住旋转不下的瓷碗，抿了一口，漫不经意地说：“奇淫怪巧之物，喝起来也没什么滋味!” 乐之扬还过神来，慌忙跳起，上前扶住朱微，急声道：“你没事吧?”朱微抿嘴摇头，长吸一口气，脸上的红晕徐徐退去，轻声说：“我还好!”乐之扬莫名其妙，说道：“怎么回事?那只碗发了疯似的……”朱微叹了口气，掉头注视明斗，轻轻咬了咬嘴唇。 明斗笑道：“冷公公身在皇宫，稀罕玩意儿见多了，这杯劣茶，自然入不了你的法眼。明某流亡海外，穷得叮当响，除了这一身破衣裳，就没什么东西拿得出手。冷公公是大善人，善人做善事，还请可怜可怜我这大穷鬼，赏几个子儿给我花花!” 乐之扬一边听得吃惊，但听明斗的口风，分明认识冷玄。又联想冷玄之前的言行，不由暗暗担心。他扫眼看去，明斗一桌三人，杨风来一口一口地品啜碗中之茶；施南庭端然凝坐，两眼瞧着茶碗上的兔毫松纹，入迷的神气，仿佛碗中别有乾坤；至于明斗，始终嬉皮笑脸，一副玩世不恭的样子。 乐之扬心生迷惑，又瞧那个和尚，和尚笑如春风，目似星斗，冲着一楼人上下打量，仿佛一个看客，正瞧一场好戏。 茶楼中的气氛微妙起来，冷玄忽地放下茶碗，叹气说道：“明斗，咱们多少年没见了?”明斗笑道：“不多不少，十五年!”冷玄点头道：“这么说，令尊死了也快十五年了?” 明斗的脸上腾起一股紫气，眼里嬉笑尽去，透出刀锋也似的锐芒，他龇牙一笑，涩声说道：“是啊，再过十天，就是家父的忌辰，万事俱备，只欠一样东西。” 冷玄问道：“什么?”明斗两只眼睛死死盯着他：“那就是冷公公的人头!” 冷玄幽幽叹了口气，目光投向窗外：“令尊的鲸息功火候不浅，我若放他一马，死的可就是我了。冷某这颗脑袋，说来并不值钱，你若自忖武功胜过令尊，不妨随手拿去，当祭品也好，当夜壶也罢，都随你的便!” 明斗“哼”了一声，正要答话，杨风来腾地起身，高声叫道：“冷玄，我堂兄杨风柳也是你杀的吗?” “是啊!”冷玄不假思索，随口便答。 “好阉狗!”杨风来面红耳赤，厉声喝问，“他的尸首呢?” 冷玄淡淡说道：“我只管杀人，尸体如何处置，不关鄙人的事。不过，圣上对付这一类刺客，大多剁碎了喂狗，正所谓路死路埋，沟死沟埋，狗吃了得副活棺材，令堂兄进了这口棺材，也算是得其所载!” 杨风来气得浑身发抖，一手指着冷玄：“狗阉奴，你少得意，今天就是你的死期!” 冷玄笑道：“杨尊主过奖了，我一个太监，有什么好得意的!”他目光一扫，点头说，“东岛四尊来了三个，看来冷某面子不小。不过云虚身为岛王，龟缩不出，实在叫人气闷，飞影神剑，光照东海，想必也是夸大之词。” “放屁!”明斗伸出手来，连连扇动，“好一个醋酸屁!”杨风来也叫道：“云岛王没来，那是你的运气，看了他的剑光，你就是个死人!” “是么?”冷玄阴沉沉一笑，摸了摸无须的下颌，“那他为何呆在东岛，不来中土?呵，我倒是听说，他三十年前发了一个毒誓：一日胜不过西方那人，一日不出灵鳌岛半步。一过三十年，照我看，他这一辈子，怕也出不了灵鳌岛咯!” 东岛三尊的脸色同时一变，施南庭徐徐起身，目光转向冷玄：“东岛施南庭，领教冷公公高招!”冷玄叹了口气，说道：“施尊主，我久闻你是个谦谦君子，冷某一生最不爱杀的就是君子，再说了，你我并无仇怨，何苦定要分个生死。” 施南庭淡淡说道：“在其位，谋其政，不得不尔!” “好!”冷玄一点头，“说得坦白!”又瞧其他二尊，“你们呢，一起上还是车轮战?” 施南庭还没答话，明斗抢着说：“我们三人同来，自然是一起上。”冷玄皱眉道：“只有三人么?张天意呢，他怎么没来?” 那三人面面相对，杨风来朗声道：“这跟张师侄有什么关系?”冷玄道：“怎么没关系?我出宫的事情再无人知，除了他，又有谁会留心查探?他挨了我一记'扫彗功'，怕是内伤未愈，所以挑唆你们三个来找我晦气，若是照他的如意算盘，顶好东岛四尊全数都来，可惜时机仓促，只聚齐了三个!龟镜没来，你们的胜算可少了一半!” “大言不惭!”杨风来叫道，“花师妹没来，我照样拧下你狗阉奴的狗头!”冷玄点头说：“很好，我先领教龙遁高招!”伸手入袖，抽出一条三尺长的马鞭，木柄皮革，全无出奇之处。只因他的“扫彗功”要有威力，非得一件软兵器不可，出宫不便携带拂尘，便拿了一条马鞭凑数。 冷玄端坐不动，说道：“明斗，还你的茶碗!”挥鞭卷住兔毫碗，嗖，瓷碗带起一股疾风，笔直撞向明斗。 明斗“哼”了一声，抬手要接，兔毫碗忽地转向，冲杨风来飞去。杨风来左袖一扬，袖间吐出白绫，飘然扫向瓷碗。不料那碗来势凶狠，冲开白绫，笔直撞来。 杨风来向后跳开，右袖挥洒，白绫穿出，缠住屋梁，跟着身子上升，左脚飞出，“啪”地踢中瓷碗，口中叫道：“狗阉奴，茶还没喝完，还什么碗?” 这一脚又刁又狠，兔毫碗尽管带有冷玄的内劲，仍是应脚粉碎，无数碎瓷夹杂一蓬白雨，刺啦啦地冲向冷玄。 冷玄头也不回，反手出鞭，马鞭挽起一个鞭花，“啪”的一声，瓷片茶雨落了一地。杨风来大喝一声，脚出连环，一阵风踢了来。冷玄微微一哂，马鞭抖直，鞭梢吞吞吐吐，一毫不差地指向杨风来右足踝的“昆仑穴”。杨风来白绫悬在梁上，身子吊在半空，见状滴溜溜一转，绕到冷玄左侧的死角，换了左脚，旋风般踢向老太监的脑门，恨不得踢他个脑浆四溅。 冷玄鞭交左手，鞭梢抖了个花儿，虚虚实实，又指向他左脚的“冲阳穴”，这一下看似平淡，杨风来却知道厉害，脚到半途，忽又缩回，身子凌空再转，寻找其他死角。冷玄端坐不动，马鞭在左右双手倒来倒去，鞭梢始终指向他的双脚要穴，左脚定是“冲阳”、右脚必是“昆仑”，杨风来走马灯似的转了两圈，踢出二十来脚，均是半途而废。 乐之扬一边瞧着，几乎喘不过气来。冷玄一举一动，均是清清楚楚，杨风来却如十几个影子在半空中晃动，叫人看了只觉头晕。杨风来接连出招，居然无法逼得老太监起身，心中说不出的气闷，但见冷玄仅顾上盘，下盘似无防范，当即左袖白绫飞出，“嗖”地缠住了冷玄的椅子。 杨风来劲透白绫，大力一拖，本以为老太监必用千斤坠对付，谁知一拖便动，椅子闪电蹿起。杨风来吃了一惊，心叫不好，念头刚刚闪过，冷玄头也不回，反手一鞭扫中座椅，椅子的去势登时快了一倍，夹着劲
