Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Le Zhiyang was startled, grabbed the flute and jumped back.Looking through the moonlight, that thing is actually a very handsome white falcon, with snow feathers and frost feathers, sparse tail and broad eyes, moth eyebrows and deep eyes, like a sad beard, a pair of eagle eyes are as cold as cold stars, shining in the dark night Take people away. Bai Falcon pressed its paws to the ground, only a foot away from Le Zhiyang.Le Zhiyang suddenly understood that this white falcon was the murderer who killed Ma Yun.His heart was burning, he gave a low drink, and moved forward.The white falcon shrugged and flapped its wings, then suddenly rushed to the sky, disappeared into the night with only a flash.

Le Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief, calmed himself down, and blew "Yangwei Tune" again, this time his true energy was even hotter, like a raging fire, burning his meridians almost to burst.At the moment when he was sad, he heard the cooing sound again, Le Zhiyang turned his eyes and saw that Bai Falcon came to his side again at some time, his eagle eyes were like torches, and he looked at him coldly. Le Zhiyang only felt his scalp explode, subconsciously clenched the flute tightly, stared at the white falcon, and thought: "What the hell is this thing, it comes and goes without a trace, and Ye Lingsu's golden needle can't hurt it? Sleep, what are you doing flying here?"

He was secretly afraid, and immediately stopped playing.Bai Falcon tilted its head and looked at him for a while, then suddenly spread its wings and flew up, hovering in the air, making a sharp chirping sound. When Le Zhiyang heard the yelling of the eagle, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a strange idea.In order to confirm what he thought, he played the flute again, and the sound of the flute rose to the sky. After a while, he heard a fluttering sound, and the white falcon swooped down and floated in front of him. Le Zhiyang's heart was beating wildly, and he vaguely understood the purpose of Bai Falcon's visit. To prove it again, he put down his flute again.As soon as the sound of the flute stopped, Bai Falcon tilted his head and turned his eyes, and flew away. Le Zhiyang played the jade flute again, and it came again in response.

After trying several times, Le Zhiyang stared at the white falcon, wondering inwardly: "Does this eagle like to hear me play the flute? Haha, the ancients played the flute to attract the phoenix, and I played the flute to attract the white eagle. It is similar to the ancients." Got it." Thinking of this, he was very proud, and tried his best to boast.The white falcon listened for a while, then suddenly flapped its wings and flew up, and danced around the young man in time with the sound of the flute. Le Zhiyang was staring dumbfounded, the flute was playing intermittently.Bai Falcon made a circle, and suddenly landed again, staring at the young man with a pair of star eyes, as if showing blame.Le Zhiyang was even more amazed, and thought: "Can this bird still distinguish the tune?" Thinking of his childlike innocence, he stopped "Ling Fei Song" and changed to "Jieshi Tune", and only played a section, Bai Falcon Just flap your wings and go, into the depths of the jungle.Le Zhiyang hurriedly switched back to "Ling Fei Song". In a moment, the white falcon flew out of the forest like a sharp arrow, flying and dancing, full of joy.

Le Zhiyang was so amusing that he almost laughed out loud, so he cheered up and played the jade flute with all his strength.The two sides go up and down, face the bright moon above, and face the sea below. The sound of the flute is melodious, the dance is graceful, and the place is so charming that it is a rare spectacle since ancient times. After playing a set of tunes, Le Zhiyang closed the flute to stop the sound, the white falcon also fell down, the eagle's eyes focused on it, the eyes were melting, not as sharp as before. Recalling the situation just now, Le Zhiyang was in a trance, staring blankly at the white falcon, only suspecting that this bird is not a body of flesh and blood, but a mountain spirit and sea charm, after a while, he sighed and said: "Brother Ying, oh eagle!" Brother, why did you kill 'Ma Yun'? If it wasn't for you, we would have gotten out of here."

Bai Falcon looked around and didn't answer in silence. Le Zhiyang thought it was funny, and thought: "I'm such a fool, what nonsense are I talking to this dumb beast?" The ground, the right paw raised tremblingly.Le Zhiyang felt strange, suddenly saw the golden light flashing on the claw, he leaned closer to have a look, a golden needle pierced the eagle claw, and the surrounding flesh was also swollen. Ye Lingsu's needle didn't kill Bai Falcon, but it hurt its claw. The "Ye Yu Shen Needle" bends and enters, hooks the muscles and bones, and cannot be pulled out.Even though the white falcon is psychic, it can't pull out the needle by itself. It dominates the island and dominates the island. The sheep, deer, fox and rabbit run away, but there is no creature that can relieve it of this trouble. At this time, it is attracted by the sound of the flute. Le Zhiyang, who played the flute, also developed a good impression, so he swept away his arrogance and stretched out his paws to ask him for help.

Le Zhiyang asked: "Brother Ying, do you want me to pull out the needle for you?" Bai Falcon's eyes rolled and his chest groaned. Le Zhiyang looked at the golden needle, recalled the past when he was stabbed in the heart by Zhang Tianyi's golden needle and suffered so much torture, he immediately felt the same, nodded and said: "Okay, brother Ying, I will help you pull out the needle, don't move around." Slowly stepped forward and walked to Bai Falcon's side. Bai Falcon has a magnificent physique, squatting on the ground more than two feet high, staring at Le Zhiyang with sharp eyes, expecting, but also vigilant.Le Zhiyang had seen its majestic power in catching and killing Ma Yun, and thought to himself that this bird was fierce and fierce, one peck and one scratch could kill him, if he suddenly got into trouble when the needle was pulled out, wouldn't it be bad luck for him.

Hesitating for a moment, Le Zhiyang squatted down, stretched out two fingers, and grasped the tail of the needle, but felt that Bai Falcon was trembling, and his heart also rose to his throat, and immediately avoided Bai Falcon's gaze, and murmured Said: "Brother Ying, don't be afraid, brother Ying, don't be afraid..." After speaking for the third time, he suddenly penetrated his fingertips, pulled it out with all his strength, and the golden needle came out, followed by a stream of pus and blood. Bai Falcon let out a cry, its sharp mouth rose and fell like lightning, and pecked fiercely on the back of Le Zhiyang's hand.Le Zhiyang yelled, jumped up, suddenly saw the white shadow shaking, the white falcon soared into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Le Zhiyang looked at the back of his hand, but saw that the wound was deep and bleeding profusely, he was really shocked and angry, and regretted that he should not meddle in such nosy business, animals are animals after all, they have no heart of kindness, they are wild and unruly, Hurt. Just as he was upset, he suddenly heard someone laughing and saying: "Good boy, do you know how powerful it is?" Le Zhiyang looked back, Xi Yingzhen turned out from behind a rock with his hands behind his back, knowing that he must have seen what happened just now, and immediately faced him Red ears hot, very ashamed.

The old man glanced at him and said with a smile: "Boy, do you know the origin of this bird?" Le Zhiyang shook his head, Xi Yingzhen stroked his beard, and asked, "Have you heard of Haidongqing?" Le Zhiyang was taken aback, and blurted out: "Haiqing takes the goose!" Xi Yingzhen smiled and said, "That's right, it's Haiqing who takes the goose." "Haiqing Takes a Goose" is a piece of music, and the Haiqing in the song is Haidongqing.Hai Dongqing was called the "God of Eagles" by the Jurchens. He was born on the northeast coast of China. He flew high and fast, as fast as a lightning meteor, and could shoot down swans flying toward the sky.

Since ancient times, the northern barbarians have regarded Haidongqing as a fetish. After domestication, it hunts down birds and chases animals down. It travels thousands of miles and never refuses. The song "Haiqing Taking the Goose" has been played thousands of times, but this is the first time I have seen the real Haidongqing. Thinking of the power of the white falcon, my heart can't help but jump. Xi Yingzhen looked ahead and said slowly: "When I traveled to Liaodong, all the Haidongqings I saw were thin and small. It was the first time I saw such a big bird when I was seventy years old. I think it was gathered by Fengshui on the island. , the heavens and the earth were created, and this alien species just appeared." Le Zhiyang looked at the back of his hand and muttered bitterly: "What kind of alien? It's just a stinky bird." Xi Yingzhen laughed: "You kid, you are so bold. Hai Dongqing can fight big with small things, even big eagles can Make it three points. You are so close to it, you are lucky to hurt your hand, and this peck lands on your face, and even your eyeballs will come out!" Le Zhiyang smiled wryly and said: "I was deceived by lard, and the Daoist laughed at me." Xi Yingzhen glanced at him, and smiled slightly: "I didn't mean to laugh at you, you child, you have a compassionate heart, and you are as good as the bird." Beast, very good, very good, old Daoist, I saw you right." Le Zhiyang shrugged his shoulders and flattened his mouth and said, "It's a pity that good intentions are not rewarded." Xi Yingzhen shook his head and said, "Doing kindness is to seek peace of mind. If you want to get rewards, you will fall into inferiority." Le Zhiyang smiled and said: " What I said is that the kid has been taught." Speaking of this, I felt strange again, "Master Xi, why are you here without rest?" "When you hear the sound of the flute, come out and take a walk." Xi Yingzhen sat on a stone, with a long beard in her hands, looking at the sea, her face changed, as if she was thinking about something, after a while, she said slowly: "Le Zhiyang, what do you want?" Do you want to learn from my "Yi Xing Sword"?" Le Zhiyang was taken aback for a moment: "Why did the Taoist master say that, can't you accept me as a disciple?" Xi Yingzhen shook his head and said: "I didn't say to accept you as a disciple, but I just asked if you want to learn swordsmanship." Le Zhiyang Feeling confused, he hesitated and said, "Is there any difference?" Xi Yingzhen glared at him, and said: "You boy, you are usually very free and easy, why did your mother-in-law get up again at the critical moment? The matter is urgent, now the enemy is at hand, and I have a short lifespan. Your martial arts are too weak, how can you deal with this?" How many villains?" Le Zhiyang's heart is clear, at this critical time, Xi Yingzhen broke the sect's opinion, and passed the secret to him "Yi Xing Sword", so that he can deal with Master Chong in the future.Thinking of this, his heart was boiling hot, and tears almost fell down. Xi Yingzhen pretended not to see her, stood up and said, "Yixing Sword, like Dongdao's Flying Shadow Excalibur, is from the 'Gui Zang Sword' of the great swordsman Gong Yangyu. It is very profound, and although there were many people who practiced it later, few entered the room. After the death of Mr. Gongyang, the only ones who got his true biography were Hero Yunshu, Liang Xiao of 'West Kunlun', and Hua Jingyuan of 'Mirror Sky' Liaoqing and Baiya, two patriarchs of our school. Daxia Yun thought it was not easy to practice Guizangjian when he fought against the Yuan army. In order to let more people practice, he took its divine meaning and simplified it to create 'Flying Shadow Excalibur'. This way of swordsmanship, practiced to the extreme, flying shadows chaotic gods, illusory and dreamy, is indeed first-class. 'Feiying Excalibur' is easier to learn than 'Guizang Sword', but If you have reached a certain level of practice, you will encounter many obstacles. If you want to go to the next level, you still need to study Yili carefully and work hard from the source. "Later, Liang Xiao went overseas, and Hua Jingyuan was nowhere to be found. Although the Patriarch Liaoqing of our sect is a woman, her mind is clever and wise, and she is better than a man. In her later years, she incorporated astrology into swordsmanship and passed it on to her master. Integrating into it, removing the rubbish and saving the essence, and smelting changes at the same time, the nine-way swordsmanship was transformed from the "Guizang Sword", named "Yixing Sword". Yixing Sword starts from astrology and chess, far more than from the number of magic It's easy, that's why I dare to pass it on to you, if it is replaced by the 'Gui Zang Sword', it will take several months just to explain the theory of Yin Yang." Le Zhiyang was stunned, and said obediently, Xi Yingzhen looked at his expression, and said with a smile: "Don't be too happy, 'Guizang Sword' is time-consuming and laborious, and 'Yixing Sword' can't be learned in three to five days , I can only teach as much as I can, and how much I can learn depends entirely on your good luck." Then he spread his right hand and said, "Lend me a jade flute." Le Zhiyang presented the jade flute, Xi Yingzhen took it, weighed it lightly, the jasper is exquisite, reflecting the moon and shining brightly, like a pool of autumn water, flowing in the old man's hand. Holding the flute in his hand, Xi Yingzhen seemed to be a different person. His old look was swept away, and his spirit was radiant. He stood upright like a pine and a cypress.Looking up at the long sky, he saw the Milky Way is clear and shallow, the stars are colorful, as dense as the sand of the Huan River (the original book is like this, the proofreader thought it was the Ganges River), and it was so faint and innumerable. Xi Yingzhen burst out with pride, let out a soft whistling, and shouted: "Look, this is the 'Tianchong style'!" Leaping out the sword, the jade flute streamed, the green lights scattered like flying fireflies, and said in a long voice: "Tianhe Leaning on the long sword, there are flying stars soaring into the sky, seven spirits come out from it, the five emperors sprinkle the flowing bells, throw electric lights, run like thunder, hold the moon with the left sword, and catch the sun with the right hand, the light shines in all directions, ghosts and ghosts disappear... " He chanted and drew out his sword, stabbing vertically and horizontally, ups and downs, coming and going like the wind, each sword is full of strength, and the long wind passes through the flute hole, making a strange trembling sound.At first, the old Taoist saw it clearly for Le Zhiyang, and the sword was drawn slowly, which gradually made Xingfa, the figures chaotic, separated and reunited, and blended into the vast night, as if two matrons were dancing in front of each other, and the jade flute hovered in between, like a green jade. lightning. Le Zhiyang listened to his eyes and ears, but the words entered his ears, it was deafening, and the sword was flying, making people dazzled.He widened his eyes, trying to keep up with Xi Yingzhen's figure, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt blurred, and he felt upset.At the moment when he was suffering, he heard a long howl, Xi Yingzhen turned off the light and took a picture, and stood quietly, staring at the starry sky with his eyes, as if he had never moved. Le Zhiyang was stunned, clapping his hands and applauding: "Good swordsmanship, powerful, powerful." Xi Yingzhen glanced at him, and suddenly asked: "What's the good thing?" , Lightning and thunderbolts are nothing more than that." "No." Xi Yingzhen shook his head, "If you want to compete faster, no one can compare with 'Flying Shadow Excalibur'." "But, but..." Le Zhiyang lowered his head and thought for a while, then clapped his hands and laughed again, "By the way, it's not the sword that's fast, but the footwork." Xi Yingzhen showed surprise, nodded and said: "It's so small, you can see it. Yes, most of the sword moves of 'Yixing Sword' are derived from 'Guizang Sword', only this 'Ziwei Fighting Step' is from our school Ingenious, secret combination of numbers, shimmering lights, ten steps to kill, without leaving a trace. In the final analysis, there are not many swordsmen, as long as your movement is fast enough and your footwork is accurate enough, you can go around the weak point of the enemy, and only come out. One sword can tell the winner." Le Zhiyang seemed to understand but didn't understand, and scratched his head again and again, Xi Yingzhen smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, you have to eat food bite by bite, and you have to practice sword skills one by one. Don't be in a hurry. Come here, I will Teach you slowly." Le Zhiyang stepped forward in response, and Xi Ying really talked about hand-to-hand comparisons, explaining the essence of "Yixing Sword". This sword technique is related to astrology. Before learning swords, one must first understand astronomy.At this time, the sky is full of stars, and it is an excellent opportunity to speak to the sky.Xi Yingzhen pointed to the stars and explained the way of heaven. The distance and density of the stars in the sky concealed many mysteries, which were transformed into footwork, which was quite miraculous. "Yixing Sword" is divided into nine fixed styles. Xi Yingzhen started with "Tianchong Style" and talked for an hour. endless. The martial arts of the Taihaogu school are very important for comprehension. If you do not have comprehension, you will have no hope in life. If you have comprehension, you can learn it very quickly. I stumbled and felt awkward when I used it. After teaching and learning, the stars and the moon disappeared, and the east gradually turned white. The two of them returned to the cave exhausted.Ye Lingsu sat cross-legged against the wall, afraid of the enemy coming, so he held the long sword in his hand, he was not asleep, when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes immediately, and seeing that it was two people, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath again. Xi Yingzhen crossed his legs and fell into meditation, while Le Zhiyang slept with his clothes on.Just falling asleep, he suddenly heard Ye Lingsu yell loudly. He jumped up vaguely, thinking that he was attacking the master, and rushed out of the cave holding the flute. He stared at the dead rabbits on the ground in a daze. Xi Yingzhen also walked out of the cave and asked, "What's the matter?" Ye Lingsu pointed at the rabbits, frowned and said, "I saw these rabbits as soon as I came out of the cave." What's the big deal? Calling so loudly, I think you've seen a ghost!" "Damn you." Ye Lingsu glared at him, "How did the rabbit die? How did it land here?" Le Zhiyang thought for a while, then smiled: "It must have been sent by Master Chong, there is a maze inside." After eating rabbit meat, I passed out immediately." Ye Lingsu felt reasonable when he heard this. Xi Yingzhen picked up the dead rabbit, looked at it, and said with a smile, "The neck of this thing is broken, but it's not done by humans." Le Zhiyang took a look, and saw that the rabbit's skin looked like claw marks. "I see..." Before he finished speaking, the wind rang above his head, and he hurriedly jumped aside, only to see a seabird descending from the sky and slapping him in front of him. Le Zhiyang raised his eyes and saw a white shadow passing by like an arrow in the wind.Ye Lingsu screamed, and raised his hand to send a needle, Le Zhiyang hurriedly stopped her, Bai Falcon disappeared in a flash, and slipped into the forest. Ye Lingsu clasped the golden needle in his hand, and stared at Le Zhiyang with angry eyes, Le Zhiyang hurriedly said: "Miss Ye, don't be upset, this Haidongqing has been favored by me, so it caught birds and beasts to repay us." "Grace?" Ye Lingsu looked puzzled, "What kind of favor did it receive from you?" Le Zhiyang said it briefly, Ye Lingsu bit his lip, and after listening silently, he gritted his teeth suddenly and said: "Okay, I shoot it with a needle, but you pull it out for it, I am a wicked person, you are a good person, your It's favor, so what is mine? Ma Yun, Ma Yun is really useless..." Speaking of this, his eyes turned red, he turned his head sharply, and a puff of smoke ran away. Le Zhiyang was scolded for a while, but felt baffled, looked at the girl's back, then at Xi Yingzhen, and said awkwardly: "Oh, the little girl is talking nonsense." Xi Yingzhen smiled wryly: "Silly boy, she hurt Haidong Qing, you saved Hai Dongqing, so you have violated her?" Le Zhiyang said angrily, "What's the matter? Isn't it just a bird? It's not an enemy, so it doesn't matter if you save it or not." .” "What do you know?" Xi Yingzhen shook her head again and again, "Girls are meticulous, if they like someone, they must think that he agrees with her all the time, and of course she won't be happy if you disagree with her." After speaking, she smiled. , grabbed the dead chicken and rabbit, and went into the hole happily. Le Zhiyang stood there, dazed, Xi Yingzhen's words hovering in his mind, he couldn't help but think to himself: "The old man speaks without restraint, how can he just say that he likes someone casually? Miss Ye and I are just acquaintances in music, other than that , but there is no personal relationship." Even though I imagined this way, I couldn't convince myself, and when I thought of Ye Lingsu's blushing and crying expression when he left, I was very disturbed, and thought: "She has a miserable life experience, so it is inevitable to think too much. Don't worry too much, you have to think of a way to enlighten her." Thinking about taking big strides, he walked towards the place where Ye Lingsu disappeared.After walking for a while, there was no one there, and he was about to find another way, when he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and shouting from the front, and looked through the bushes, Ye Lingsu was holding a Qingchi sword, fighting bitterly with Ming, Zhu Yinfeng stood aside, Yin Yang said angrily: "Beauty, don't fight with trapped beasts. If I hurt you, I won't feel good. I'd better put down the sword obediently. Brother, I'll take you back to enjoy the blessings. I'm not bragging, as long as you do my best." Woman, even if you want to die, you will never leave me..." Le Zhiyang was anxious, without even thinking about it, he jumped out and shouted: "You two big men, aren't you ashamed to bully a woman?" When Zhu Yinfeng met his enemy, he was extremely jealous, and said with a dark smile, "Okay, another one is here to die." Ye Lingsu raised his hand, shooting a few golden lights, Ming Dou hurriedly dodged.Ye Lingsu took the opportunity to retreat to Le Zhiyang, Heng Jian said: "What are you doing here?" Le Zhiyang thought: "If I don't come, you will be in trouble." But he said: "I happened to pass by." Then he called out to Ming Dou, "Where is Master Chong?" Ming Dou let out a "hum", but didn't answer coldly.Zhu Yinfeng said with a smile: "The monk is very cautious and insists on waiting for four days. Damn it, I don't have the time to spare. As long as you catch you two brats, it will be difficult for Xi Yingzhen to give in." He told Le Zhiyang spoke, but his eyes were fixed on Ye Lingsu, with a salivating look on his face. Ye Lingsu hated him for being rude, so he kept silent, and stabbed Zhu Yinfeng's heart with his sword.Halfway through the sword, Ming Dou jumped out and slapped the girl with a palm. Ye Lingsu cut down the sword horizontally. sword spine. This bullet carried "Drip Strength", so-called dripping water pierces rocks, the initial strength is not strong, but the stamina is endless, surging upwards along the blade of the sword, shaking Ye Lingsu's half body numb, and the soft sword almost dropped from his hand. After a moment's delay, Ming Dou clapped over with two palms again.Ye Lingsu jumped back, swung his sword with his right hand to fend off the enemy, and groped into the pouch with his left hand, wanting to take out the golden needle, but it was empty.The girl's heart skipped a beat, and she complained secretly. It turned out that after several days of hard work, a bag of "Ye Yu Shen Needle" had been used up. Her heart was in turmoil, and an opening suddenly appeared, Ming Dou took advantage of the emptiness and entered, pierced her index finger, and pointed towards the girl's "Tanzhong Point".Seeing that he succeeded, a jasper flute came across, lightly pointing towards Ming Dou's lower abdomen. This move comes from the Tianchong style, false and true, with hidden murderous intentions.Ming Dou didn't know the depth, he moved his fingers with his left hand as usual, and with a random wave of his right hand, he grabbed the jade flute.Not wanting to shake Le Zhiyang's wrist, Yudi grabbed a flower, bypassed Ming Dou's claws, and stabbed at his lower body. Ming Dou was taken aback, hurriedly withdrew his fingers, and jumped back a few feet.Le Zhiyang missed a blow, a strong wind rose from the left side, Zhu Yinfeng's palm was like a knife, and fell towards his left shoulder.This move was almost a sneak attack, Le Zhiyang attacked Ming Dou with all his strength, his momentum had already been exhausted, in desperation, he bent his shoulders and twisted his waist, trying to dodge, but it was too late, Zhu Yinfeng's palms were fierce, covering half of his body. Zhu Yinfeng hated Le Zhiyang so much, he threw out this palm with all his strength, intending to cut off one of his arms, but when he was about to succeed, a blue light flashed in front of his eyes.Zhu Yinfeng withdrew his hands in a hurry, like the wind sweeping back, the Qing Chi sword passed close to his body, tearing a long hole in his jacket. Zhu Yinfeng broke out in a cold sweat, and before he could change his mind, Ye Lingsu had already made a rear move, and the sword light was like a wheel, sweeping obliquely.At this time, Le Zhiyang also regained his breath, turned his feet around, walked around to his side, gave a sharp shout, and pointed the jade flute towards his left flank. Zhu Yinfeng was attacked by the enemy, and he was very embarrassed, but he was born in Yanran Mountain, and his martial arts had his own unique secrets. With his left hand, he used "Daxuan Bingshou", spread his five fingers, and swept out, only heard a "ding", between his fingers Picking up the Qing Chi sword, the sword body swung vigorously, and it deflected a few feet crookedly.Zhu Yinfeng twisted his body strangely, like a boneless insect, dodging the blow from the jade flute, he flipped backwards, and after landing, he retreated three steps in a row. Flying Shadow Excalibur, the sword is faster than the shadow, Ye Lingsu didn't allow him to take a breath, the sword light roared out, Le Zhiyang's figure flickered, and moved forward with the sword light. Zhu was in a hurry due to the wind, blocking from left to right.When he was in a tight situation, two hurricanes swept over, one attacked Ye Lingsu and the other slashed at Le Zhiyang, but it was Ming Dou who saw that the situation was not good and came to help.His palm strength is magnificent, Ye and Le didn't dare to be careless, so they had to let Zhu Yinfeng go and turn around to avoid his sharp edge.The two of them had a tacit understanding, both came out of their palms, advanced and retreated suddenly, the swords and flutes came out together, one left and one right attacked Ming Dou. Ye Lingsu's swordsmanship is fierce, but the angle of Le Zhiyang's flute is very clever.Ming Dou was caught in a dilemma, if he resisted the sword technique, he would be hit by the jade flute, so he had to step back and said angrily: "Zhu Yinfeng, do you have eyes to vent your anger? If I fall, what good fruit do you have?" Zhu Yinfeng didn't get along with him at first, so he really had a wait-and-see attitude. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "Old man Ming, how about this, you deal with the girl, and I deal with the boy, each of you against each other, so don't mess up your opponent." Stepping forward, he attacked Le Zhiyang fiercely, Ye Lingsu wanted to help, but Ming Dou's palms rushed to him. The two villains join forces, and the power is extraordinary. Le and Ye were forced to separate, and both fell into danger.Zhu Yinfeng's palm was sharp and sharp, breaking leaves and branches a few feet away.Le Zhiyang was a little inattentive, the wind of his palm brushed his shoulders, his clothes were torn, his skin was torn and blood flowed, so he could only use "Spiritual Dance", turned around, walked and waited. Zhu Yinfeng's internal injury has not healed, and his gestures are not as agile as before. He is about to succeed many times, but he is always dodged by Le Zhiyang.After fighting for several rounds, Le Zhiyang suddenly saw Le Zhiyang holding his flute and held it by his mouth, he suddenly remembered the big loss he had suffered during the "Aotou Lunjian", he hurriedly jumped forward and called for two palms, forcing Le Zhiyang to have no time to play the flute . Le Zhiyang's martial arts is not good, and he can't play "Sad Heart Yin" to arouse the opponent's internal injuries. For a while, there is nothing he can do.The two circled around, circling and counting tricks, Le Zhiyang suddenly thought: "Yi Xingjian pays attention to footwork, and Lingwu also has footwork. I haven't learned all the 'Ziwei Doubu', 'Lingwu 'But I have practiced proficiently. If I use the footwork of 'Spirit Dance' to use the 'Tianchong Style', I don't know what the result will be?" Thinking of making strange steps, he turned around and pretended to raise the jade flute horizontally.Afraid that he would play the flute, Zhu Yinfeng yelled loudly, ignoring his internal injuries, and launched a fierce attack. Unintentionally, there was a flaw in his armpit. Like a blue rainbow passing through the sky, it whizzed around Li Yinfeng's right palm, and pointed towards his armpit. This sword is exactly the "moon grows the sea" in the "Tianchong Style", it has the image of the sun and the moon rising, it is exquisite and mysterious, and it is difficult to guard against.Because of the wind, Li twisted his waist hastily, and the jade flute passed close to his body and hit his "Tianchi acupoint".Zhu Yinfeng's whole body was numb, and his feet staggered slightly. Le Zhiyang succeeded in the move, and was overjoyed. He was about to take back the jade flute when Zhu Yinfeng turned his right hand and blocked his veins. This sudden change, the number of winners and losers was instantly reversed.Half of Le Zhiyang's body suddenly went numb, and the jade flute fell to the ground with a "pop".Zhu Yinfeng intended to break his wrist, but the key point was severely injured, and his right hand lacked strength, so he shouted loudly, raised and lowered his left palm, and slashed towards Le Zhiyang's neck. Le Zhiyang is under the control of others, seeing the palm coming, he can't dodge it.At this moment, the wind was overwhelming, and a white shadow fell from the sky. Zhu Yin felt a severe pain in the top of his head before he recovered from the wind, and immediately let out a scream.But the white falcon left with one blow, and the palm wind passed by, but cut off a few white feathers. Le Zhiyang escaped death, rolled on the spot, and grabbed the jade flute on the ground at the same time.He rolled a few feet, turned over and jumped up, only to see Li Yinfeng holding his forehead and screaming wildly, blood gushed out between his fingers, five claw marks deep enough to show bone. Bai Falcon gained power and was relentless, circled for a circle, and swooped down again.Zhu Yinfeng felt the sound of the wind, covered the wound with one hand, and slapped the eagle with the other, but he lost sight of the other, Le Zhiyang took advantage of the situation, swung out the jade flute, and stabbed him hard in the lower abdomen.Zhu Yinfeng let out a scream, suddenly covered his head with one hand, and covered his belly with the other, stumbled, turned around and fled, a gust of wind went into the jungle, and disappeared without a trace. Ming Dou had already gained the upper hand and wanted to capture the girl alive, but suddenly he saw Zhu fleeing due to the wind, and he didn't know what happened for a while, but he also saw Le Zhiyang rushing towards him, joining Ye Lingsu's sword and flute, and attacking from left to right. With Zhu Yinfeng's screams in his ears, Ming Dou was flustered, and suddenly he didn't want to fight. He blocked two moves in a hurry, suddenly snorted coldly, turned around and left, striding into the woods. Ye Lingsu was already at a loss, and the enemy suddenly retreated, which was really surprising.She put away the soft sword, looked at Le Zhiyang, then at the white falcon in the sky, pursed her lips, and suddenly hummed softly, turned and walked towards the sea. Le Zhiyang was afraid that she would be left alone and would meet a strong enemy again, so he followed up and said, "Miss Ye, the island is full of dangers, so don't go far." Ye Lingsu remained silent, but his pace slowed down.The two walked side by side and walked to the beach after a while.The girl sat down, picked up a shell, and played with it in her hand.Le Zhiyang stood beside him, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He fixed his eyes and saw five black fingerprints where Zhu Yinfeng had scratched. It turned out that although Zhu Yinfeng hadn't broken his wrist, his internal strength had bruised his muscles and bones. He had just fought desperately, didn't feel anything, and was idle, and the injury just happened.The swelling spread from the wrist, and in a blink of an eye, a forearm became shiny purple and black, and the slightest touch would cause unbearable pain. He was baring his teeth, when he suddenly heard Ye Lingsu say: "Put it out and show me." Le Zhiyang forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, just a little injury." Ye Lingsu said coldly without raising his head: " The 'Taiyin True Qi' of Yanran Mountain is very vicious, it travels through the blood, penetrates the five internal organs, and if it is later, the viciousness attacks the heart, Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save you." Le Zhiyang was dubious, so he bowed his head and stepped forward. Ye Lingsu hummed again, and said, "Are you a wooden man? What are you doing standing there?" Le Zhiyang felt dizzy after being reprimanded by her Brain swollen, he said resentfully: "I, I..." Ye Lingsu didn't wait for him to finish, patted the rock beside him lightly, and said coldly, "Sit here!" Le Zhiyang had no choice but to sit down, Ye Lingsu said again: "Stretch out your hand." The young man couldn't help but stretched out his wrist, Ye Lingsu raised his hand suddenly, and held his injured hand.Le Zhiyang was taken aback, subconsciously wanted to struggle, and suddenly heard Ye Lingsu yell softly: "Don't move." Speaking of this, his snow-white face blushed slightly, without raising his head, his eyes were fixed on his wrists The wound, petite and tender fingers gently stroked the affected area. Le Zhiyang has never held hands with another woman other than Zhu Wei in his life, his heartbeat increased and his mouth was dry, but when Ye Lingsu passed by Susu's hand, a warm current flowed into his wrist and slowly moved upwards along his arm , flowing through the great meridians of Zhoutian.I don't know if it was because of nervousness, or because of this surge of true energy, Le Zhiyang's whole body was hot, and he was sweating profusely. At first, Ye Lingsu's manipulation was very light, smooth as silk, and gradually became heavier, but it was also strange that the wound just now was painful when touched, but now there was only a little itching and numbness, the black air gradually receded, and the skin became rosy and lustrous. After a while, Ye Lingsu let go of his slender hand, and Le Zhiyang waved his hand, but felt that everything was as usual, and immediately said happily: "Thank you, Miss Ye..." Speaking of this, thinking back to Su's fisting scene, my heart was full of ripples , feeling very uncomfortable. Ye Lingsu played with the scallops and remained silent.Le Zhiyang's nature was jumpy, seeing her like this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said: "Miss Ye, I know you are angry with me. Forget it, count me as bad, if you want to scold, you can scold, if you want to beat, you can beat me." , hold it in your heart like this, aren’t you in a hurry to die?” Ye Lingsu glanced at him and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?" Le Zhiyang was taken aback: "Don't you blame me for saving that Haidongqing?" "Haitongqing?" Ye Lingsu raised his head and looked at the white falcon in the sky, "Did you say it?" At this point, he shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, it saved us, um, I won't follow it I care about it, but it hurt Ma Yun, hum, I won't pay attention to it." Le Zhiyang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Guess how I know it?" "How would I know?" Ye Lingsu said coldly, but there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes. Le Zhi raised his mouth to talk about hand gestures, and vividly narrated what happened at night.Ye Lingsu's eyes widened when he heard it, and he said, "A liar, a flat-haired bastard, how can he understand 'Zhou Tian Ling Flying Song'? Hmph, I think it's more like 'Zhou Tian Bragging Song'." When she said this, her cheeks were flushed, her willow eyebrows were slanted, her nose was slightly wrinkled, and she returned to her usual little girl attitude.Le Zhiyang looked in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and said: "You don't believe it? Well, I'll go to the street, master, and it's hot now, so I'll tell you to open your eyes right away." song. The white falcon circled in response to the sound, and in the middle of the blow, it fell from the sky and land, rested on a rock, stared at the two with eagle eyes. Ye Lingsu was overwhelmed with surprise, but was ashamed to admit his mistake, rolled his eyes at Le Zhiyang, and said angrily, "What's so great about it, a blind cat bit a dead mouse, it's just a coincidence." Le Zhiyang smiled, put down the flute, and when the sound of the flute disappeared, the white falcon jumped up to the sky again with a plop.Ye Lingsu was stunned, but Le Zhiyang didn't know what was going on, and played the flute again, causing Hai Dongqing to descend and hover above the two of them. Ye Lingsu was ashamed and angry, pouted his mouth, grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at Le Zhiyang.Le Zhiyang dodged and kept playing the flute, Ye Lingsu threw the shell in his hand again, Le Zhiyang rolled on the spot, dodged the shell, and continued whining non-stop . Ye Lingsu was furious and rushed forward to grab his flute.Le Zhiyang rolled all over the ground, kicked up the sand with his legs, and shot at the girl like an arrow. Ye Lingsu circled around him, neither advancing nor retreating, wanted to move forward, but was afraid of being stained with sand, just as he had no choice, Le Zhiyang stopped the sound of the flute suddenly, and raised his eyes to provoke him.The idlers faced each other for four days, Ye Lingsu saw that his head was full of mud and sand, and he looked embarrassed, suddenly couldn't hold back, and giggled while covering his chest. This smile is like spring ice breaking, snow lotus blooming, full of love, and the world turning pale. Since Le Zhiyang met her, it was the first time he saw such a charming attitude, and he sat on the ground for a while, staring dumbfounded.Ye Lingsu laughed a few times, and suddenly saw that his expression was different, kicked him immediately, and shouted: "What are you looking at?" Le Zhiyang didn't even think about it, he opened his mouth and said, "Look at you! You look so pretty when you smile." Ye Lingsu was stunned for a moment, with anger in his eyes, bit his lips and said, "You, you..." Suddenly his brows turned red , shed tears. Le Zhiyang managed to make her laugh, but in the blink of an eye, the girl started crying again, frustrated and confused at the moment, she got up and said, "Miss Ye, why are you crying? If I'm wrong, I'll admit my mistake to you. " The more he talked, the more Ye Lingsu cried. The humiliation, sadness, confusion, and anger of the past few days were all turned into tears and cried. In the end, he buried his face in his knees and cried loudly, as if to All tears cry dry. Even though Le Zhiyang was ingenious, at this time, he felt helpless, and kept saying: "Oh, why are you crying? If you have something to say, don't cry, there is nothing to cry..." While he was babbling, Ye Lingsu was troubled to hear it, raised his head, his face was full of tears, and said angrily: "What do you know, you don't know anything..." Le Zhiyang was taken aback, Ye Lingsu lost his composure, lowered his head, and said quietly: "I, I am a villain, and I shouldn't live in this world at all..." After speaking of self-pity and self-harm, she shed tears again . The East Island is strict in ethics and ethics, and still has the legacy of the Song Dynasty.Compared with the cause of her mother's death, Ye Lingsu cared more about her status. Now her identity is unclear. She is neither the daughter of the Ye family nor the young lady of the Yun family. .只不过，她的心境乐之扬无从明白，如果叶灵苏是孽种，那么他无父无母，岂不是一个货真价实的野种?乐之扬在秦淮河边胡混，不时受人羞辱，”杂种、畜生”无所不骂，他听过以后，要么骂回去，要么一笑了之，由自卑而自负，对于家世名分，乐之扬一向嗤之以鼻。所以在他看来，叶成可恨、卓轻如可怜、云虚不够光明磊落。但至于云、卓二人，本就互相爱慕，他们生下叶灵苏，根本就是经地义的事情。叶灵苏为此烦恼，实在多此一举。 过了一会儿，叶灵苏稍稍平静，抹泪说：”乐之扬，我不是有心骂你的。不知怎么的，一想起那些事，我的心里就很难过。” “那就别想了呗。”乐之扬满不在乎，”你要不开心，我再吹笛子，让这只大鸟儿给你跳舞解闷儿。”叶灵苏看了一眼歇在远处的白隼，无精打采地说：”这两天，我一直梦见妈妈。” 乐之扬心中又”咯噔”一下，忙说：”哎，过去的事就别想了。”叶灵苏叹一口气，摇头说：”不去想又谈何容易?说也奇怪，妈妈样子我都记得，就像是烙在心子上一样，也许，也许她太美了，看一眼就忘不了的。我还记得，她特别爱笑，总是笑眯眯地看着我，说起话来细声细气，又柔和，又好听，在我记忆里面，她从来没骂过我，也没对我发过脾气……” 说到这儿，勾起回忆，叶灵苏的眼泪又落了下来。乐之扬也觉伤感，挠了挠头，说道：”叶姑娘，你好歹还能记得妈妈的样子，我连我妈是谁也不知道。不过那样也好，一了百了，倒也少了许多烦恼。” 叶灵苏瞥了乐之扬一眼，心想：”是呀，我尽管名分不正，但也好歹知道父母是谁，撒谎精却是个孤儿，比起我来，可怜多了。”想到这儿，悲苦散去，怜悯大生，叹道：”撒谎精，你可曾想过去找自己的亲生父母吗?” “想过啊。”乐之扬笑嘻嘻说道：”老爹告诉我身世之后，我也难过了好几天。有一天我偷偷离家，想去找我父母，结果年纪太小，以为京城就是天下，天下就是京城。我从南门出城，绕着城墙走了一圈，又进了北门。那时又累又饿，天也黑了，我蹲在屋檐下打盹，一个醉汉打那儿经过，冲我撒了一泡臭尿，气得我哇哇大叫。天幸那个醉汉心肠不坏，吃我一吓，酒也醒了，见状过意不去，带我沐浴更衣，又把我送回家里，临走前还送了我两个糖人儿。一泡尿换了两个糖人儿，江小流一听大觉划算，找了个墙角蹲守三天，结果一泡尿也没等到。” 叶灵苏听了这话，哭笑不得，伸手揉了揉眼角，骂道：”撒谎精，什么事到你嘴里都变了味儿。我只听说过守株待兔的，哪儿又有守着屋檐等尿的傻人?” 乐之扬不置可否，哈哈大笑。叶灵苏也只觉好笑，但又不便表露，苦忍笑意，说道：”乐之扬，刚才交手之时，我看你的剑法眼熟，可是我东岛的武功么?” 乐之扬心怀鬼胎，慌忙摆手说：”不是，不是，这是席道长教给我的。” “什么?”叶灵苏不胜吃惊，”他把'奕星剑'教给你了?”乐之扬道：”他怕自己有个三长两短，你我无法应付强敌。” 叶灵苏听了这话，也是暗生愁意，抬眼看去，海东青在海面上盘旋，忽地收翅如箭，射入水中，再起之时，已抓起一条大鱼，鳞片银白，约有二十来斤。 白隼拎着大鱼，来到一块礁石之上，啄得银鳞进溅、赤血横飞，俄而抬头顾盼，气势雄奇不凡。 叶灵苏看到这儿，心中微微一动，冲口而出：”我有一个法子。”乐之扬奇道：”什么法子?” 叶灵苏指着那只白隼：”我们要离此岛，全在这只鸟儿身上。” 乐之扬何等颖悟，闻弦歌而知雅意，拍手叫道：”你是说驯服这只海东青，如麻云一样回东岛送信?”忽见叶灵苏微笑不语，又一拍脑袋，”我糊涂了，它连东岛在哪儿也不知道，怎么能够回去送信?” 叶灵苏说道：”它不知道东岛何在，但能远扬百里、极目四方，岛屿附近只要有船只经过，一定逃不过它的眼睛。” 乐之扬的心子怦怦直跳，说道：”这个主意很好，但如何驯服它呢?” “驯服海鹰，先要熬鹰，使其不眠不休，方能令其臣服。但这只海东青大有灵性，知音解语，会听你的笛声调遣，所以熬鹰的一关大可免除。有了这个根基，我再传你'驭鹰'之术，不过数日工夫，便可让它学会鹰语。” 乐之扬大喜过望，急忙讨教，叶灵苏知无不言，将”驭鹰术”倾囊传授。东岛数百年驯鹰，对于鹰隼的脾性了解至深，因此钻研出了许多稀奇古怪的法门。两人因那白隼爱听《周天灵飞曲》，故而加以改进，将口哨变为笛声，红手帕变成翠绿色的玉笛，用挥笛的手法表现”鹰语”。 白隼吃过夜雨神针的苦头，对叶灵苏记恨在心，故而只听乐之扬的招呼，对于少女不理不睬。叶灵苏看出它的敌意，又恨它杀死麻云，故而只是传授”驭鹰术”，决不插手驯服白隼。 两人白天一起驯鹰，到了夜里，席应真又找乐之扬传授”奕星剑”。乐之扬昼夜不眠，大为辛苦，可惜剑道精微，进步缓慢，乐之扬练了两天，”天冲式”练了个马马虎虎，”天门式”压根儿就没有入门。 第三天晚上，乐之扬使一招”紫府朝垣”，连使三遍，均未把握住剑招中的精妙，待要使出第四遍，忽听席应真叹一口气，说道：”小子，罢了，收剑吧!” 乐之扬收起玉笛，望着老道茫然不解，席应真灰心丧气，摇头说道：”这么练下去，纵然学了个马马虎虎，对敌之时也未必管用。”乐之扬暗生惭愧，低声说：”都怪我没用，辜负了道长的苦心。” 席应真摇头说：”与你无关，全是我急功近利、异想天开，武学之道当循序渐进，哪儿有什么终南捷径?要你四天学成'奕星剑'不过痴人说梦罢了。”说到这儿，紧皱眉头，手拈长须，仿佛在思索什么难题，乐之扬站在一边，屏气凝神，一句话也不敢多说。 过了半晌，席应真叹了口气，开口说道：”事到如今，不可半途而废，这样吧，我把剑诀传授给你，将来能够领悟多少，全看你的造化了。” 乐之扬一听这话，心中憋闷难受，忙说：”席道长，你再说这样的话，我宁可不学了。” 席应真看他一眼，笑道：”你这小子，诸般都好，就是太过自欺欺人。天地万物，生死有命，与其贪生怕死，不如坦然受之，我都不怕，你又怕什么?” 乐之扬鼻间酸楚，望着玉笛呆呆出神，席应真拍拍他肩，笑道:”好孩子，我知道你的心意。世事如意者少，不如意者多，与其执着，莫如放下，你好好听我说剑诀，谨记在心，不可忘却，如不然，我便死了，也有遗憾。” 听了这话，乐之扬只好打起精神，听席应真念诵口诀。老道士一边朗诵，一边演示，看了二十余招，乐之扬忽觉席应真的剑招有一些眼熟，仔细回想起来，竟与《飞影神剑谱》里的招式有一些神似。不过详加比较，却又颇有分别，好比左膀右臂，尽管各个不同，但又同属一体。这么两相印证，居然大有所悟，喜得他眉飞眼动，恨不得跳上前去比划一番。 “奕星剑”九大定式，三日来，乐之扬只学了两大式。其中天冲式主攻，天门式主守，另外七式，分别是武曲、文曲、天机、天相、天元、破军、北斗。 席应真说完一段剑诀，就让乐之扬背诵，剑诀藏于五言律诗，漫如歌吟，饶有旋律。乐之扬记性绝佳，过耳不忘，背完九段剑诀，几乎不用重复。 席应真听他背完，连连点头，赞道：”好小子，我生平阅人无算，但说到记性，没有一个及得上你。你有这样的能耐，不去读经书、考状元，真是有点儿可惜……”说到这儿，忽又打住，心中暗想:说起考试，本朝八股取士，拘泥不化，愚弄人心，纵然点元高中，也是了无趣味。这孩子明秀通脱，本是流云散仙一类的人物，应该逍遥于天地之间、放情于江湖之上，那官场俗气熏天、污浊遍地，叫他考试做宫，那还不是作践入吗? 想到这儿，打量乐之扬一眼，又想:这孩子与我性情相投，若能入我玄门，倒也是个可造之材，可叹我性命不永，此时收他为徒，不过误人子弟。再想师祖遗训，也是违抗不得，只好叹一口气，打消收徒念头，继续说道：”九大定式分别使来，只是小有威力，唯有交替合用，方能发挥绝大神通。” 乐之扬怪道：”怎样才能交替合用?”席应真笑了笑，答非所问：”我有一篇总纲，你猜出自何处?” “总纲？“乐之扬想了想，冲口说出，”是棋道么？” “好小子，真是鬼灵精。”席应真拍手大笑，”'奕星剑'三字各有所指，剑为'归藏剑'，星为'紫微斗步'，二者相合，便成九大定式，但要融合九者，却非得第一个'奕'字不可。” 他说到这儿，沉吟时许，说道：”小子，我将总纲传你，你记牢了。” 乐之扬点了点头，席应真略略一顿，轻声念道：”其星如子，其道如奕，有先而后，有后而先，意在步先，步在剑先，宁让一步，不失一先，击左而视右，攻前而顾后，阔不可疏，密不可促，不恋弃子，固而自补，彼众我寡，先谋其生，我众彼寡，务张其势。善胜者不争，善阵者不战，善战者不败，善败者不乱，无事自补，孤虚侵绝，舍小图大，高下在心……” 乐之扬边听边记，只觉一头雾水，席应真所言，多是围棋之道，少有武学精要，难道说跟人打架，还要一手握着宝剑，一手，一着棋子，出一剑，落一子?说起来，棋子坚圆，倒可以当作暗器，但对手不纵不横，并非一张棋盘，这棋子如何来下，倒是一个大大的难题。 尽管疑惑，乐之扬仍是默默记诵，席应真念完一遍，未及详加解释，天色已然发白。两人只好返回洞中，乐之扬记了一肚皮创诀，思绪纷纭，辗转反侧，唯恐日后遗忘，又将剑诀背诵了一遍，方才昏沉沉地睡了过去。 这一觉直睡到正午，刚一醒来，就闻到烤肉香气，出洞一看，洞前多了一只小野猪，惨被鹰爪撕破肚皮，五脏横流，不忍目睹。叶灵苏架起篝火，正在烧烤一只野兔。乐之扬打起精神，将野猪剥皮去骨，整了一锅肉汤，吃得席应真赞不绝口。老道士吃饱喝足，自去盘膝打坐，乐之扬看他身影，但觉时光紧促，心中不胜烦恼。 叶灵苏看出他的心思，说道：”席道长不是坐以待毙的人，他静坐入定，是在思索逆转阴阳的法子，我们与其留在这儿，扰乱他的思绪，不如去驯服那只海东青。” 驯鹰之事，也关乎离开此岛。乐之扬只好收拾心情，随少女来到海边，吹笛引来白隼。调教了一个时辰，白隼学会了若干”鹰语”，乐之扬挥动玉笛，它也随之转圈，但随挥笛快慢，慢则圈小，快则圈大，连试数次，都是应验不爽。 叶灵苏难掩喜悦，拍手赞道：”这鸟儿真聪明，我见过的鹰也不少，但没有一只学得这么快的。”她向来矜持，少有欢颜，这时小女儿神态流露，眉眼含春，笑意溶溶，好似秋莲吐蕊、云开月出，乐之扬一边看着，也觉心怀疏朗，愁云尽散，禁不住放下笛子，哈哈大笑起来。 他两人相对而笑，天上的白隼不明所以，收翅落了下来，蹲在一块礁石上冲着两人打量。叶灵苏见它神俊模样，甚想伸手去摸，但想到这鸟儿的厉害，又将亲近之心按捺下去，沉吟道：”乐之扬，你驯了它半天，还没给它起一个好名字呢!” 乐之扬看了看白隼，笑道：”它天性灵通，白毛胜雪，叫它'灵雪'好了!” 叶灵苏微微有气，说道：”你又耍鬼心眼儿了，我叫灵苏，它叫'灵雪'，别人一听，还当它是我什么人呢!” “天地良心。”乐之扬赌咒发誓，”我只是随口说说，万无攀扯你的意思。” “谅你也不敢。”叶灵苏轻哼一声，”但这个'灵'字就是不好，哼，鹰是飞翔之物，叫它'飞雪'好了。” 乐之扬虽觉“灵雪”更佳，但又不便拂逆少女，只好点头说:”好，好，就叫飞雪。”说完面朝白隼，发号施令：”鹰兄，你如今有名字了，大号'飞雪'，飞翔的飞，飘雪的雪，干万记住，不要忘了。” 他说得煞有介事，白隼竟也凑趣，眼珠连转，频频点头，似在回答乐之扬的叮嘱。叶灵苏一边瞧着，忍不住笑了起来。 笑了一会儿，叶灵苏又问：”乐之扬，你的剑法练得怎样了?”乐之扬一听，好心情一扫而光，苦着脸说：”别提了，练了两个晚上，不过学会了几招。席道长失望得很，让我背了剑诀，自行参悟。” 叶灵苏想了想，说道：”大侠云殊曾说过，'深山苦练十载，不如沙场三天'，任何武功绝技，若无对手印证，都是纸上谈兵。剑法本是搏斗之法，你独自参悟，明白不了其中的奥妙，若是有人陪练，一定精进不少。” 东岛和太臭谷，剑法同出一脉，修炼的路子却大不相同。“飞影神剑”追求实战，讲究临敌应变，于搏杀中参悟玄机。太昊谷历代多是玄门修士，淡泊自许，不好争斗，讲究悟道在先，练剑在后，一旦领悟剑道，剑法自然水到渠成。 乐之扬一来时间不多，二来不是玄门中人，对于玄门之理知之甚少，道理不通，练起剑来也阻碍重重。 叶灵苏说完，折了一根树枝，捋去枝叶，笑吟吟说道：”你用'奕星剑'来攻我试试。” “不敢!“乐之扬吐了吐舌头，”我哪儿打得过你呢?” “胆小鬼！“叶灵苏目透轻蔑，”你怕什么?这是树枝，又杀不了人。” “也罢!“乐之扬摊开手，笑着说道，”那我来了哟!”叶灵苏一手按腰，扬起脸来，冷冷说：”要来便来，废话什么?” 乐之扬挥了挥笛子，正要出击，忽又想起一事，回头说”飞雪，这位叶姑娘是我的好朋友，我跟她闹着玩儿，你可别伤了她。”白隼俨然听懂，频频点头。 叶灵苏听了这话，心中一阵酥软，口中却说：”你少卖人情，就算你俩一起来，本姑娘也不怕。” 乐之扬笑道：”好，好……”说到这儿，扬起玉笛，嗖地刺出，存心出其不意，杀叶灵苏一个措手不及。 叶灵苏略退半步，拧腰出招，树枝搭上玉笛，轻轻顺势一拨。乐之扬顿觉虎口发热，玉笛几乎脱手，慌忙用力攥住。他一心都在笛子上面，不意疾风扑面，叶灵苏纵剑刺来。乐之扬急要闪避，但飞影神剑何等神速，左胸微微一痛，已被树枝点中。 乐之扬出了一身冷汗，天幸只是树枝，换了真剑，这一个照面就有穿胸之厄。抬眼一看，少女站在那儿，三根玉指拈着一枚树枝，含笑把玩，好似庭前斗草的小女儿一般。 乐之扬收起杂念，打起精神，脚踏斗步，忽左忽右地绕到叶灵苏身边，使一招”天冲式”，刺向少女肩头。叶灵苏树枝斜挑，撩开玉笛，反剑回刺。乐之扬脚下转动，退如狂风，半途中横笛在前，使一招”天门式”竟将树枝挡开。 叶灵苏叫一声”好”，身形略矮，失去踪迹。乐之扬慌忙转身寻找，但见人影缥缈，已到身后。他不及回身，那一根树枝幻化出蒙蒙幻影，仿佛十余人同时向自己刺来。饶是乐之扬身法迅疾，左肩、后背仍是各中两记，火辣辣疼痛不已。 乐之扬大喝一声，移步转身，瞥见叶灵苏的影子，挥舞玉笛，奋力刺出。少女身形晃动，一如瑶花弄影，又似翠竹迎风，乐之扬眼中迷乱，玉笛登时落空。叶灵苏嫩枝挥洒，扫过他的脉门，乐之扬半身软麻，步子踉跄，忙乱中使出”灵舞”，手舞足蹈，风车一般窜出丈许。立足未稳，叶灵苏追踪而来，细细长长的树枝带起漫天剑气，疾风骤雨一般袭来。乐之扬使出”天门式”仍然挡不住泼风荡雨的攻势，一时连中两剑。 乐之扬连连中招，反而冷静下来，心神越发专注，席应真的教诲有如汩汩清泉流过心田，不但天冲、天门二式领悟更深，其他各式也有所涉及，进退攻守之间，不时使出”武曲式”和”文曲式”中的招数应敌。”武曲式”猛锐异常，但刚中带柔;“文曲式”招法缠绵，却柔中带刚，二者交替使出，文武相生，刚柔并济，勉强挡住了少女光耀电闪一般的快剑。 双方你来我往，斗到红日平西，霞光映照碧海，描红染紫，瑰丽无伦，白隼掠过海面，发出清越的长鸣。 又拆数招，乐之扬腰间中剑，不胜痛麻，脚步为之混乱，叶灵苏乘胜追击，一轮快剑压得他抬不起头来。乐之扬步步后撤，退到一块礁石前面。叶灵苏腾身而起，抖动枝条刺来。乐之扬背靠石墙，无路可退，只好举起玉笛，使一招”武曲式”里的”日照雷门”，以攻对攻，奋力反击。 双方剑势一交，树枝变刚为柔，刷地向后卷回，叶灵苏喝一声：”撒手!“乐之扬虎口剧痛，玉笛登时脱手，叶灵苏反手接过，树枝向前一指，轻轻抵住他的咽喉。
