Chapter 22 Chapter 21 Dangerous

Lianhang took two steps back and hit the penny with his left hand.With a whining sound, the green bamboo pole swings away a few feet, but Lian Hang feels a severe pain in the palm bone, and her pretty face is stained with blood.Before he could slow down, he let out a loud roar, and the man with the hammer came striding forward, without any compassion, he swung the hammer and smashed it in the face. Lianhang couldn't dodge in time, and leaned back, the man in brown rode forward and pierced her waist.Le Zhiyang was startled, and was about to Going forward, suddenly seeing Lan Yun arriving, the pickaxe swung out with lightning, hooking the tip of the penny.The man in brown yelled heavily, Penny shook as hard as he could, Lan Yun's tiger's mouth was in severe pain, and the pickaxe almost dropped, she couldn't help but take a step back, suddenly Pu Yangzhao took the opportunity to sneak attack, straightened the steel fork, and aimed straight at her back. "Stop..." Zhao Jianhuai and Shui Lianying yelled at the same time, but Pu Yangzhao, with hatred in his heart, straightened his fork and turned a deaf ear.Ding, with a flash of light, the hundred-smelting steel fork snapped off its handle.Pu Yangzhao was taken aback, and jumped away. In a blink of an eye, Le Zhiyang stood beside Lan Yun with a smile in his hand, holding an ancient sword.Pu Yangzhao was in shock, shook his bare iron rod, and shouted sharply: "What a pair of dogs and men." Lan Yun blushed, and scolded softly: "You, you are a dog, a dog man... No words After finishing speaking, the brown-clothed man came back again, hurriedly swiping his hoe to parry. The two of them hadn't even exchanged their weapons when they suddenly heard Shui Lianying's sharp voice: "Everyone, stop first. "Zhao Jianhuai was also afraid that the sword had no eyes, accidentally injured the hostage, and lost the capital to threaten Xicheng, so he also said immediately: "Stand back first, let's see what tricks she uses?" "The group of heroes retreated in response, and Shui Lianying floated forward. He smiled slightly: "Master Zhao, why did you come to the Water Pavilion? "The spring breeze melts the snow, the autumn water is dizzy, and there is a trace of weakness in the corners of the brows and eyes. Qunhao saw it, and for some reason, all of them felt ashamed in their hearts: "Sin, this woman is so delicate, it's not good to really hurt her. What men do. "Zhao Jianhuai looked at the woman, unable to figure it out, and replied casually: "Of course it is to save Elder Qian." "Shui Lianying nodded lightly, and said softly: "Okay, then, I'll go with you, how about letting the other three go?" " Lianhang was flustered, and when he heard this, he jumped up anxiously, "Miss, what can I do? Lan Yun also said, "Miss, you can't, you can't..." Le Zhiyang saw that Shui Lianying was weak, so he didn't pay attention to her. , A wave of hot air gushed out from the bottom of his heart, which stirred up his chest and made it difficult for him to control himself.

Zhao Jianhuai was also surprised, and looked at the woman. He suddenly smiled and said, "How dare I ask the girl's name?" Shui Lianying smiled and said, "My surname is Shui!" , why does the old man listen to you?" These words were extremely arrogant, Lianhang said angrily: "If you don't listen, you won't listen, it's a big deal." Shui Lianying glared at her and thought for a while , sighed: "Leader Zhao, forgive me, capturing the three of them will not do your gang any good." Zhao Jianhuai wondered, "Why?" "Lian Hang and Lan Yun are my maidservants, they are far inferior to Elder Qian. This Mr. Le is just a visitor here, and he is not from Xicheng at all. There is only a little girl who can barely be regarded as the descendant of the mother of the earth. If you want to exchange the elders of your clan, who else but me?" Zhao Jianhuai frowned slightly, hesitating, Pu Yangzhao couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Master Zhao, don't listen to this little girl's nonsense.

Everyone has seen Qiu Tao's sorcery, she is the descendant of the earth mother, so she must be very good at the sorcery^ If the other three are released and she is alone, wouldn't it be better to escape? "When everyone heard this, they shouted: "Brother Puyang, if it weren't for you, you would have almost fallen into this woman's trick. Zhao Jianhuai also said: " Brother Puyang said, Miss Shui, I let the three of them go, what if you run away again? ""Section Master Zhao is overthinking." "Shui Lianying smiled, and said casually, "I am the descendant of the Earth Mother, but I don't know martial arts. Everyone was taken aback, Pu Yangzhao shouted: "Are you lying to ghosts?" Zhao Jianhuai didn't believe it either, and said, "Miss Shui, if you don't know martial arts, how can you pass it on from mother to son?" "The ability of the family teacher is not limited to martial arts. "Shui Lianying casually said, "Adorning flowers and grass, saving lives and wounding, playing the zither and drums, and making clay figurines are all skills.I have been looking for a tutor for many years. I have learned nothing but these.As for the supernatural powers of the local tribe, they don't know it at all. " Qun Xi was dubious, looked at the woman carefully, and saw that she had a beautiful appearance and a soft body. She was really blown away by the wind and melted by the sun. She looked like a daughter of everyone, and she didn't look like a martial artist at all. Le Zhiyang couldn't help asking quietly. Said: "Lianhang, are all her words true? "

Lian Hang bit her lips tightly, without saying a word, looking at her master with a hint of anxiety on her face.Zhao Jianhuai thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Forget it, as a hostage, I have to suffer some grievances, brother Puyang, you bring a rope here." Puyangzhao found a cowhide rope, Zhao Jianhuai took it and said with a smile: "Miss Shui, If you are sincere, please take two steps forward and let me tie your hands." Shui Lianying hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay." Holding the white cat in her arms, she walked forward slowly.Lian Hang and Lan Yun blushed anxiously, Qi Qi stopped her and said: "Miss, don't go." Shui Lianying glanced at the two of them, shook her head and said: "Lian Hang, Lan Yun, you all step back!"" I won't retreat." Lianhang said loudly, "They will arrest you, unless I die..." "Okay." Shui Lianying looked at the sky and said coldly, "Then you go and die." Lian Hang was stunned for a moment, dumbstruck. Shui Lianying suddenly reached out her hand and pushed her.Lian Hang took two steps back, squatted on the ground, covered her face and burst into tears.Lan Yun wanted to comfort her, but before she could open her mouth, tears were already streaming down her face.If Shui Lianying didn't see her, she passed the two of them and walked in front of Zhao Jianhuai.As soon as the old man met her eyes, he suddenly felt a little guilty, coughed, and said, "Brother Puyang, you do it." Grab Shui Lianying's shoulder.Halfway in the hand, he suddenly felt the cold air, and a colorful long sword was placed in front of Pu Yangzhao's paw.Pu Yangzhao hurriedly withdrew his hands, took a closer look, Le Zhi raised his sword across his chest, and said with a smile, "Master Zhao, Xiao Ke has a merciless request." Zhao Jianhuai's face was ashen, staring at him without saying a word.Le Zhiyang didn't wait for him to answer, and rushed to say: "How about I take Miss Shui's place as a hostage?" This sentence was very surprising, Shui Lianying showed surprise, Zhao Jianhuai was also taken aback, frowned and said: "You are not from Xicheng, The master is not interested." "Who says I'm not from Xicheng?" Le Zhiyang said with a smile, "To tell the truth to Mr. Zhao, I am not only from Xicheng, but also have a much higher status than Miss Shui." Zhao Jianhuai was very confused, Turning around to look at Shui Lianying, the woman frowned and said, "Mr. Le, don't mess around." Le Zhiyang said with a smile, "You get what you pay for, Xicheng arrests the elders of the Yan Gang. Now, if you want to change him, at least you have to be a character who is under one person and above ten thousand people." Shui Lianying frowned slightly, but Zhao Jianhuai sneered and said, "Boy, are you under one person and ten thousand people?" Above people? Hmph, I'm not ashamed to say that, I know all the masters of the eight tribes, and there is no one like you." Le Zhiyang smiled, and said lightly: "What is the master of the eight tribes?" , Everyone was shocked, Zhao Jianhuai laughed back angrily: "My good boy, are you higher than the master of the eight departments?" How high is the young master of Xicheng?" Zhao Jianhuai became more and more confused, glared at Le Zhiyang and said: "You, you..." Le Zhiyang sighed, and said: "It seems that the master has retired for a long time, and everyone in the world Forget about him." "What?" Zhao Jianhuai suddenly turned his head and blurted out, "You are Liang Siqin's apprentice!" This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, shaking all the heroes, and the three women Hearing his nonsense, he was angry and funny, Lianhang couldn't help but shouted: "What are you talking about? How can there be a disciple like you in Xicheng?" Le Zhiyang glanced at her and said with a smile: "Lianhang Ah, a teacher for one day and a father for life, don't you even recognize your father just to survive?" Lian Hang stomped angrily, "You're talking nonsense, who is your father..." Zhao Jianhuai looked at the two of them, uncertain , pondered: "Boy, the Lord Liang is invincible in the world, you are his descendant, and your martial arts are not bad, why are you willing to be my hostage if you don't make a move?" "Who says I won't make a move?" Le Zhi Yang smiled, and suddenly raised his voice, "Do you want me to be a hostage, you must first win against me." When Qunhao heard this, Fang felt that he had been fooled, and was all angry for a moment, and cursed everywhere.Pu Yangzhao said sharply: "Okay, after all, we still have to fight." Rolling up his sleeves, Le Zhiyang waved his hands and said with a smile: "Come on slowly." Pu Yangzhao said: "Why? Are you scared?" "Scared Le Zhiyang laughed, and walked out, Pu Yangzhao didn't have time to change his mind, he felt the sword light filled his eyes, his steel fork was broken, leaving only a piece of iron pen, he immediately raised a bar, and with a ding, the handle broke into pieces In two cuts, the Zhengang sword took advantage of the situation and pressed against his heart.

Pu Yangzhao was restrained by one move, his face was ashen, the group of heroes drew out their weapons and surrounded Le Zhiyang.Le Zhiyang ignored the stepping, turned his head and smiled Said: "Master Zhao, how about we make a bet?" Zhao Jianhuai said angrily: "What a bet!" Le Zhiyang laughed and said: "If you don't bet, Brother Puyang will definitely die. You must kill me, if I die, who will exchange for Elder Qian?" Zhao Jianhuai was silent for a while, he didn't care about Pu Yangzhao's life or death.But if Le Zhiyang is really the young master of Xicheng, capturing him alive would be a sharp weapon to deal with Xicheng. He suppressed his anger and asked patiently: "Okay, what do you want to bet?" Le Zhiyang said: "You guys Just push one person and fight with me alone, you win, I let me do what I want, and I win, please go back home." He uttered wild words, everyone was surprised, Zhao Jianhuai pondered for a while, and suddenly heard someone say: " Leader Zhao, if my Salt Clan does not accept the challenge, it will make people look down on the heroes of our clan." Zhao Jianhuai looked back, and the one who spoke was the big guy with the hammer.He stepped forward, and Hong Sheng shouted: "Grandpa 'Wave Breaker' Gong Qiang, come to learn the tricks." Seeing that Huai was riding a tiger, Zhao had to say: "Boy, you can bet, but you can't use a sword. Iron is like mud, it's too cheap." Le Zhiyang said: "Okay!" The man who returned the sword took out the jade flute and played with it, "How about using the flute instead of the sword?" Everyone was moved, the jade flute is not a solid thing Gong Qiang also felt the contempt, his eyes widened angrily, and he said sharply: "Smelly boy, let me see how much your broken flute is worth. Don't regret it if you cover it with my hammer." "It's easy to say, easy to say." Le Zhiyang smiled, imitating the tone of the other party, "Stinky blacksmith, I think your big ass is worth a few dollars, don't regret it if you bump into my flute." Gong Qiang was furious , the double hammers collided inward, and there was a loud bang, and the sparks fell all over.Lian Hang's face paled, and she stood up, Lan Yun grabbed her and said: "Don't worry, this kid dares to stand out, 'maybe he really has the ability." Lian Hang stared at Le Zhiyang, secretly anxious: "What ability does he have?" This son, you can only talk nonsense." Le Zhiyang played the jade flute leisurely, Gong Qiang became more and more annoyed as he watched it.This sweep was powerful and heavy, and a gust of wind was rolled up on the flat ground.Le Zhiyang moved his feet, floated and then retreated. During the advance and retreat, the hammer was only a few inches away from him. Le Zhiyang seemed to have turned into a paper man.

Blown by the strong wind from the hammer, it flew backwards without touching the ground. When all the people saw this, they were all amazed.But seeing Le Zhiyang retreating farther and farther, suddenly reached the end of the water hall, leaning his back against the corner of the wall, unable to retreat, Gong Qiang was overjoyed, shouted loudly, and hit Le Zhiyang's waist with the left hammer, and the right hammer He swung it high and landed towards Le Zhiyang's top door.With both hammers down, there will be no physiology in the joy of Yang.Lian Hang couldn't help but blurted out in surprise, just as the cry came out, Le Zhiyang suddenly saw Le Zhiyang lift the jade flute, and send it out obliquely, soft like silk, soft like spring willow, as weak as he could be, lightly hit the hammer on the right.This move comes from the "Wenqu Style" in "Yi Xing Sword", which is soft and strong, and the strength is ingenious. Gong Qiang only felt the heat of the tiger's mouth, and the hammer changed direction in mid-air, drawing a big circular arc, Guo Le Zhiyang's body bumped into the hammer in his left hand with a clang. When the two hammers hit each other, Gong Qiang's arms went numb for a while. He heard Le Zhiyang laughing lightly, and the jade flute turned into green light. His left eye. This move changed from literature to martial arts, and then turned into a "martial arts style" ultimate move. Gong Qiang hurriedly raised his right hammer to block, and the jade flute suddenly tapped his heart. Gong Qiang raised his left hand Blocked by the hammer, Le Zhiyang suddenly made a move of "Beidou style", raised the jade flute, and jumped up with the hammer on the ground, as if turning into a living thing, with a clang, it hit the right hammer lying between his eyebrows. At this moment, Gong Qiang's mouth was cut open, blood flowed, and the impact was imminent. It was like a thunderbolt, and his ears were buzzing. Gong Qiang was puzzled. After two strokes, Le Zhiyang flicked the jade flute, but couldn't grasp the hammer in his hand. After thinking clearly, Le Zhiyang went around behind him and pointed at the "Shenshu point" with a "Tianyuan style". Gong Qiang With an angry shout, he swung his right hammer and threw it backwards. Le Zhiyang saw the coming situation, and changed into a "heavenly secret style". The jade flute leaned forward, caught the edge of the hammer, and flicked it with all his strength, and the right hammer slanted away. Then, with a bang, the two hammers collided for the third time. At this moment, Gong Qiang felt his throat was sweet, and his blood rushed upwards, his broad face turned purple. Everyone was at a loss when they saw this. Gong Qiang was even more furious, wishing to smash Le Zhiyang into meatloaf with a hammer. He was nicknamed "Wave Breaking Hammer". It's like dark clouds pressing down on the top. Le Zhiyang's internal strength can't be released, palms, legs, fists and claws can't do anything, but the true energy walks in the body, every gesture is light, dancing, turning around, erratic, dodging one by one Gong Qiang became more and more anxious, and the hammers became more violent. Unexpectedly, Le Zhiyang had "inspiration" and had already seen through his rhythm. In his eyes, the pair of hammers were like a pair of bells, swinging up and down, with a clear rhythm , so what the jade flute points to is all the gaps in the hammering method. A few strokes can disturb the rhythm of the hammer. The jade flute comes and goes, leading its right to hit its left, leading its left to hit its right, The two hammers seemed to be possessed, bumping up and down, hitting back and forth, and the sound was endless, even more urgent than the sound of iron striking in the blacksmith's shop. To others, the sound was nothing more than the sound of gold and iron, but To Le Zhiyang's ears, it's like music in response to festivals everywhere, under the command of the jade flute, and then played by the hammer. Every time the hammer hits, Gong Qiang receives a huge impact. Over time, his arms become numb and his chest feels tight. Ouch, his self-confidence was greatly frustrated, but he felt that he was not swinging the hammer, but the hammer was dragging him forward and backward, just for the sake of face, he bit the bullet and struggled to support. Rolling and rolling, and fighting again and again, Gong Qiang became more and more The more uncomfortable he felt, the blood in his chest was boiling, his throat was sweet for a long time, suddenly, Le Zhiyang yelled: "Let go! "The jade flute flicked as hard as it could, and hit the hammer on the left. The hammer turned around, and the wolf hit the hammer on the right. This time, the sound was like thunder, and the roof tiles shook. Gong Qiang's mouth was bleeding, and both hammers Let go, the left hammer passed through the window, fell into the lake with a clatter, the right hammer soared into the sky, crashed through the roof, and disappeared. Gong Qiang took a few steps back, fell down and sat down, staring straight at Facing his opponent, his whole body trembled suddenly. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he fell to the ground with a face as white as paper. The hall was silent for a moment, Zhao Jianhuai showed hesitation, and was about to stand out when the man in brown beside him coughed and held the bamboo Punting out slowly, said in a deep voice: "I'm going to Fan Zhong, let me teach you how to do it. "Lianhang saw Le Zhiyang's victory in a strange way. Apart from being inexplicable, he also felt overjoyed. When he saw the man in brown go out to fight, his heart shivered, and he shouted:

"Young master, be careful, he is the descendant of Hebei's 'Pear Blossom Spear'." Le Zhiyang turned around and smiled at her.Lian Hang's face was red and hot, and he rolled his eyes fiercely.Fan Chong watched the two of them flirt, and felt that the opportunity must not be missed, so he shook the bamboo tube and pierced Le Zhiyang's lower abdomen.This is close to a sneak attack, if it is someone else, it is inevitable that the chest will be pierced.But the "inspiration" is in both ears. Le Zhiyang's eyes are looking at the nail lotus, but his ears are not idle. , Picked the penny tip.Fan Zhong's thrust was very powerful, unexpectedly he touched the jade flute, he was suddenly discouraged, the penny slanted, and passed against Le Zhiyang's left flank, with a hissing sound, his clothes were torn and blood flowed.Qunhao, who had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly became popular, and immediately applauded sky-high.Fan Zhong frowned, retracted the penny, and stared at Le Zhiyang in a daze.Seeing Le Zhiyang bleeding, Lianhang was startled and shouted loudly: "Hey, are you okay?" "When you're fighting, don't look around." "What's looking around?" Le Zhiyang stuck out his tongue, "It's skill if you don't look around." "Don't look around?" He took off his belt, covered his eyes, and said with a smile, "Believe it or not, I don't use my eyes, but I still avoid his pennies." He has a childlike heart, and he doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. Lianhang was startled and frightened, and said anxiously: " You idiot, don't mess around, you, you..." In desperation, I didn't know what to say.Fan Zhong only felt a wave of anger rushing straight to his forehead, even if he was always calm, he couldn't help shouting sharply: "Boy, don't you fucking look down on people!" Looking down on people? Le Zhiyang laughed loudly. "Are you still a human being?" "

Fan Zhong's face turned blue and red, and the unknown fire in his chest became more and more intense, and suddenly his eyes widened. He roared: "You are looking for death..." The pole shook, and the tip of the pole swung round, like a blue big The python shook its head and bit hard.He is a master of flower spears, he uses pennies, but uses marksmanship, while watching the battle with two maidservants, Le Zhiyang has already heard the rhythm of the marksmanship, so he blindfolded to fight, firstly to irritate the opponent, secondly I also want to try the newly enlightened mental method.The penny vibrates in the wind and makes a whining sound.Le Zhi raised his energy and gathered his ears, he could hear clearly, he took a step back suddenly, and turned his body to the left.

This turn was very ingenious, Fan Chong pierced the air with a pole, and the momentum was vented from it.He was taken aback, Fang wanted to change his tactics, Le Zhiyang Yudi pointed out , holding down the tip of the pole, Fan Zhong tried his best to get rid of the jade flute, but unexpectedly, the air-defense Bi flicked it, and the penny was like a live snake, whistling swaggeringly, and was about to rush out of his hand.Fan Chong gave a loud shout, his horse gaited steeply, he held the penny tightly, and swept out to the right, creating a gust of wind.Le Zhiyang performed the "Ling Wu", his body was like a willow following the wind, and he used the "Ziwei Fighting Step" on his feet. The jade flute in his hand was flying, and in an instant, he tapped the penny three times, da da da The rhythm is bright, accompanied by a wonderful vibrato.From the perspective of others, Le Zhiyang's moves were weak, and he could not shake Fan Zhong's momentum of sweeping thousands of troops.

Know.Every time Le Zhiyang hit, it fell on the intermittent point of Penny's strength, breaking his inner strength abruptly.Years of knives, moon sticks, and guns for a lifetime. The difficulty of practicing flower guns does not lie in the moves, but in the inner strength of the gun.The strength runs through the body of the gun, so it can be used like an arm, which can stab down a flying eagle or pierce a mosquito.Now that the internal strength is cut off and the human spear is two points, Fan Chongkong has a good marksmanship. He mustered his internal strength three times, but was knocked off by the jade flute three times. Suddenly, Le Zhiyang paused, and Penny also stopped. The two were separated by a foot, and they were both motionless.The two moved extremely quietly, as if time had stagnated. The people in the water hall were puzzled and held their breath.Beads of sweat rolled down Fan Zhong's face, he was half angry, half confused, as others saw, he only needed to go one more foot, and he would be able to hit his opponent.But at this point, Fan Chong's gun was exhausted, although it was only a foot away, it was like a world apart.Flutter, a kingfisher flits across the lake, Fan Zhong wakes up like a dream, shouts loudly, and the penny shakes out many phantoms.Everyone in the Yan Gang felt relieved when they saw him make a move, and cheered in unison.Le Zhiyang backed up, put the penny on the jade flute, moved left and right, and then advanced and retreated.When the penny grows up, the jade flute is short and short, with similar color and agility, just like two green snakes, one big and one small, fighting in the air.Fan Zhongqiang is restrained and powerful, but his opponent is blindfolded, but he is no different from a blind man. If he can't win in this way, it will be passed on to the rivers and lakes, and he will never have the face to see others again.The more he thought about it, the more anxious he was, and he tried his best to shake the bamboo slips. Suddenly, there were many green shadows, like thousands of flowers blooming in full bloom, and the north wind blowing snow.Le Zhiyang was about to dismantle it, but suddenly felt that the opponent's rhythm was different, so he put away the jade flute and took two steps back.It was too late, it was too late, Fan Zhong turned around, handed the penny to his right hand, and shook out a soft gun with a silver chain with his left hand. Passing through the shadow of the blue pole, it went straight to Le Zhiyang's throat.This was a surprise, and before everyone saw it clearly, they heard a ding, and a silver arc of lightning turned back and swept towards Fan Zhong's face.This time "Chunxue Chaos Pear Blossoms" is the special skill of Fan Jiaqiang, it is hard and soft, and it is impossible to guard against.Unexpectedly, Le Zhiyang heard the rhythm change, and he was already on guard, Yudi made a backhand pick, and picked up the soft gun.Fan Zhong only felt the silver light enter his eyes, he hastily lowered his head to dodge, the soft gun brushed past his face, startled him into a cold sweat.Le Zhiyang leaned forward and beat the penny with his flute.The penny is hollow, and the sound of the beating is extremely long. Fan Zhong's internal energy is in a state of disarray, and he can't gather it in one place at all. Repeatedly, the soft gun entangled Penny instead.Fan Chong was in chaos, and the sound of knocking in his ears was continuous, sometimes hitting pennies, sometimes hitting soft guns, ding ding ding, bang bang bang, rising and falling alternately, sometimes long and then short, chaotic at first, but gradually became coherent. "Huh!" Shui Lianying called out softly, with a hint of surprise on his face, "Is this "Yangguan Sandie"?" He was still able to speak during the fierce battle, and all the heroes of the Yan Gang were astonished, and Pu Yangzhao was furious. Said: "What nonsense, this is a fight, it's not playing a tune." Shui Lianying shook her head and said, "It's true to fight, but the sound of knocking on bamboo is clearly a tune." With the sound of knocking bamboo, he raised his voice and sang: "Weicheng is rainy in the morning and the dust is light, and the guesthouses are green and willows are new. I advise you to drink a glass of wine, and there will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west!" The singing is clear, every word, every word It coincides with the sound of knocking bamboo.As a result, everyone realized in a trance: Fan Zhong not only lost the wind, but the penny in his hand became the opponent's musical instrument, playing a piece of music with the beating of the jade flute.There is no room for time to compete in martial arts competitions, but Le Zhiyang turns the martial arts competition into playing music.The heroes of the Salt Gang were extremely shocked, only when Le Zhiyang's martial arts were much higher than Fan Zhong's, and he was able to handle it with ease, like a tease, but he didn't know that Fan Zhong had fallen into his rhythm. Chong would have to break the willow to see him off, and if it was changed to a "Businessman", Fan Zhong would still have to carry the burden and walk, posing as a hawker along the street.Once he understood this, Fan Chong was so ashamed that he couldn't bear to feel ashamed, and fought several tricks, suddenly jumped back, shouted "That's all", dropped the penny, turned around and left, a gust of wind rushed out of the water, without turning his head, and in a blink of an eye disappear.Le Zhiyang took off the blindfold and said with a smile, "Who else is coming?" Zhao Jianhuai looked left and right, but the others didn't move. Somebody is not talented, so I asked my subordinates for advice on how to use palms." Fan Zhongzhi's Spear and Gong Qiang's Hammer are well-known in the gang, but when they encountered this jade flute, they were all defeated.Zhao Jianhuai wholeheartedly believed that Le Zhiyang's weapons were powerful, if he wanted to defeat him, he had to use his strengths instead of his weaknesses, and he would not compete with him in weapons.Le Zhiyang thought to himself: The old boy fought with me, defeated Zhao Jianhuai, and there were others, one after another, there was no end to it.

It is necessary to show very high force to force them to retreat in spite of difficulties.Immediately put away the flute, smiled and said: "It's too troublesome for you to come and go. That's all right, Master Zhao, I will stand still and let you hit me three palms. If I can catch it, you will lose." , If I can’t take it down, then there’s no need to say it.” When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked, Zhao Jianhuai felt angry and said in a hateful voice: “Boy, you have no eyes, what should I do if I beat you to death?” “I You deserve it if you die." Le Zhiyang smiled, his eyes bright and energetic, "If you are lucky enough not to die, what should Hall Master Zhao do?" Zhao Jianhuai turned blue with anger, and shouted sharply: "If you take three palms, Zhao immediately exited the waterside pavilion." "Okay!" Le Zhiyang clapped his hands and said, "Master Zhao is a gentleman. Once a gentleman speaks, it's hard to chase after a horse." As soon as Zhao Jianhuai said that, he felt regretful, but seeing Le Zhiyang's expression, Feeling unstoppable again, the horse gait sank slightly, took a long breath, and the whole body suddenly swelled by half.Seeing his strange aura, Le Zhiyang couldn't help being secretly surprised, and suddenly heard Shui Lianying say: "Young Master Le, be careful, this is Qixia School's 'Fu Hu Gong'!" Looking at it in a blink of an eye, the woman's pretty face was pale, her eyes were full of worry, the sky was shining on her body, she stood alone, as if transparent, like a wisp of smoke, which would disperse at any time.Le Zhiyang's chest felt hot, a sense of arrogance rose in his chest, and he thought to himself: "Back then, in the theater, if the mother of the earth hadn't rescued me, Le Zhiyang would have died a long time ago. I know how to repay my kindness, and I am a man with my true colors. With a body of only a foot, how can you watch the disciples of the Earth Mother being humiliated by others?" Thinking of this, he pressed his hands on his waist and laughed aloud. When Zhao Jianhuai heard the laughter, he became even more angry. With a bang, it hit Le Zhiyang's chest.Le Zhiyang flew out sideways as if under a heavy hammer, and hit the coffee table behind him. With a "click", the coffee table was shattered, but he rolled around and lay on the ground, motionless.The hall was suddenly quiet, and suddenly, everyone in the Yan Gang burst into laughter.Shui Lianying looked at Le Zhiyang, with mist in her eyes.Lianhang was the most impatient, and rushed forward, but suddenly a strong wind hit her, forcing her to take two steps back, raised her head and said angrily: "Zhao Jianhuai, you have won, so what else?" Zhao Jianhuai said with a smile: "Since the old man won , this person will be under my disposal." With a backhand move, "Brother Puyang, tie up this kid." Puyangzhao responded and stepped forward, and was about to make a move, when he heard a long laugh, Le Zhiyang jumped up and jumped up. His face was grinning, almost covering Pu Yangzhao's nose.Pu Yangzhao was startled, staring at the young man, as if seeing a living ghost, Zhao Jianhuai also changed his face, and blurted out: "You, are you okay?" "What do you think?" Le Zhiyang spread his hands with a sneer on his face.Zhao Jianhuai was full of surprise, staring at him up and down, thinking to himself that just now, even if it hit the trunk of a big tree, it would leave marks.He thought hard, but he couldn't figure it out, but he didn't know that Le Zhiyang practiced supernatural powers, and his true qi was different. After ordinary people hit the palm, the blood qi recoiled and hurt the five internal organs.Le Zhiyang's true qi went backwards, and his blood qi recoiled. The reverse turned into positive, but turned into a favorable trend.At the beginning of the palming, he was quite uncomfortable, but once he changed his mind, he felt an indescribable joy, which greatly relieved the pain of the palming.For this reason, Le Zhiyang wished he could get a few more slaps. Seeing Zhao Jianhuai in a daze, he smiled and said, "Master Zhao, what are you waiting for? The fight is over early, so everyone can go home for dinner." Zhao Jianhuai heard that he was full of energy , becoming more and more suspicious. He was cunning and cunning, confused in his heart, but his face remained calm. After thinking about it, he took a big step and circled around Le Zhiyang.He paused every step, but Le Zhiyang felt chills down his spine, and secretly scolded the old man for being cunning.It turned out that Zhao Jianhuai could move his palm from any direction by turning around like this, Le Zhiyang couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't gather his true energy to resist his palm force.Zhao Jianhuai turned faster and faster, he was so happy that he didn't know what was going on, so he simply closed his eyes and listened to the wind to identify his position.It's strange to say that the wind has passed through his ears, and his heart is like a mirror, reflecting Zhao Jianhuai's whereabouts vividly.Turning to the seventh circle, Zhao Jianhuai stopped, and both palms came out, hitting Le Zhiyang's back with a bang.The gate of life on the back is tied, even with the protection of the body, it still hurts the heart and lungs.Le Zhiyang's throat sweetened, and the person had already soared into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he was on top of Pu Yangzhao's head. "Hey!" Pu Yangzhao took advantage of the chaos and punched Le Zhiyang's left flank.His fist hit the flesh, and before he could be happy, he suddenly felt a strong rebound and returned. With a scream, Pu Yangzhao flew backwards, covering a disciple of the Salt Gang, and when he landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood.He was in pain and anger, and looked up, Le Zhiyang stood steadily, with flushed face and closed eyes, not far behind him, Zhao Jianhuai's hands trembling, his face turned purple, looking at the young man very nervously.Le Zhiyang remained motionless, dozens of gazes fell on him, suddenly, Le Zhiyang opened his eyes, turned around and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, there is still one palm, do you want to hit it?" Zhao Jianhuai's heart sank With just one palm, his "Tiger Subduing Kung Fu" has been fully transported, cracking the monument and cracking the stone. Who knows that Le Zhiyang is not only safe, but also has a counterattack force in his body. Minor internal injuries.When he was silent for a while, he said in a shy voice: "Zhao's two palms are useless. He should have retreated in spite of the difficulties. It is about the safety of Elder Qian. I have no choice but to persevere to the end." "It's easy to say." Le Zhiyang smiled and waved his right hand "Come here." He received two palms in a row, the stronger the palm, the longer the time for the blood to flow forward. Although the middle palm is uncomfortable, it is very fun to go forward. Both pain and pleasure are combined, like ice and coal The furnace, the taste in it is indescribable.Zhao Jianhuai gritted his teeth, leaned forward, and slashed towards Le Zhiyang's chest with his right palm.Le Zhiyang straightened himself up, breathing through his chest and abdomen, unexpectedly Zhao Jianhuai turned his palm into a finger. Chi Chi Chi stretched out three fingers, and hit his three big acupoints "Cell", "Shenque" and "Qihai".These three acupoints are the accumulation of energy, once they are touched, the internal energy will be completely lost, and in severe cases, they will die suddenly on the spot.Le Zhiyang felt a sharp pain in his middle finger, he couldn't help but retreat a few steps, his body wobbled.Zhao Jianhuai got the blow, jumped away, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Yeah, yeah..." The words just came out, and suddenly he was tongue-tied, Le Zhiyang swayed a few times, then stood firmly again, raised his voice and laughed: "Master Zhao, what are you doing here? Are you tickling the master?" Zhao Jianhuai's face turned pale, and he turned around and left.The others were also dejected and filed out.In the blink of an eye, the people, birds and beasts dispersed, and the water hall became empty again.The three women seemed to be in a dream, Lianhang went away in a blink of an eye, Le Zhiyang put his hands on his waist and stood still.She was so surprised that she couldn't help but jumped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and shouted: "Well, you have such a big book, why didn't you say it earlier..." Le Zhiyang followed her pat, shaking his body After a while, before Lian could finish her dirty words, Le Zhiyang's left knee gave way, and he knelt down on the ground suddenly, with a few gurgles in his throat, and "wow", he spat out a mouthful of blood.The three women were all horrified, Lan Yun hurriedly supported Le Zhiyang, glared at Lianhang and said angrily, "Are you going to kill him?" Here, tears flowed down suddenly.Lan Yun wanted to reprimand, but Le Zhiyang calmed down, waved his hands and said: "It's none of her business..." Before he finished speaking, the rebellious energy in his body rushed, a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth, he rolled his eyes, and fainted past.Shocked and anxious, the two little maidservants shouted in unison: "Master Le..." Shui Lianying put down the white cat without saying a word, and stepped forward to feel the pulse.Looking at it, I feel that the energy in Le Zhiyang's body is strong, like a torrent, but it's just against the current and turbulent, not following the usual path.Shui Lianying tried everything she had learned in her life, but she couldn't figure out where this weird pulse came from. According to the medical theory of internal medicine, with such a pulse, this person should have died long ago. No signs of death.Shui Lianying thought about it, took out a golden needle, and stuck it into Le Zhiyang's "Guanyuan Point".As soon as the golden needle entered the body, there was a huge obstacle, suddenly felt the fingertips became hot, the golden needle bounced back suddenly, and then a stream of blood splashed on the sleeve, as bright as peach blossoms in spring.Shui Lianying held the golden needle, lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.Lianhang was overwhelmed with guilt, and asked softly: "Miss, what's wrong with him?" Shui Lianying came back to her senses, and said lightly: "Lan Yun, go to my room and fetch the jade box by the bed." Not long after, Lan Yun fetched a suet jade box.Shui Lianying opened the box, and took out a crystal vial, which contained blood-red liquid.Seeing the vial, Lan Yunjin blurted out: "Phoenix weeps with blood!" Shui Lianying helped Le Zhiyang up, hugged him in her arms, and unscrewed the vial with one hand, a strange fragrance immediately filled the air. "No!" Seeing her thoughts, Lian Hang stomped her feet anxiously, "Miss, this blood dew is the elixir given to you by the city lord, so you can't just give it to others." "Since it's medicine, it's for people to eat. "Shui Lianying pried open Le Zhiyang's teeth, and poured a bottle of blood into it.Le Zhiyang was dizzy, but his consciousness was not lost. The spiritual liquid passed by, and it was cool. It reached the depths of the lower abdomen, turned into a cloud of hot air, followed the air veins, extending in all directions, and the passage was stagnant. Open, the yang hyperactivity and adverse qi also slowly calmed down.Le Zhiyang calmed down, and his mind turned back, but he felt the fragrance lingering. When he opened his eyes, a pretty face jumped into his eyes, his eyes were as condensed as autumn water, revealing a trace of concern.Seeing him awake, Shui Lianying suddenly remembered that he was still in her arms, hurriedly let go of the boy, and stood up blushing.乐之扬但觉异香满口，忍不住问道：“我吃了什么？ ”“凤泣血露！ ”莲航没好气说道，“这是城主采集千山灵药. 运转周流八劲，日夜淬炼而成。花了十年之功,也不过炼成三瓶,哼，你倒好，一个人就吃了一瓶，你知不知道，这血露是小姐……”“莲航！ ”水怜影锐声喝道，“还不扶乐公子起来。”“小姐。”莲肮撅起小嘴，还要再说，忽见水怜影脸色变冷，只好咽下话语。乐之扬何等机灵，一听便知根底，当下拱手说进：“水姑娘，承蒙馈赠灵药，实在感激不尽。 水怜影默不作声，伸手把他脉门，忽地皱眉说道：“奇怪， 你的血气怎么还是如此混乱？ ” 乐之扬凝神内视，中掌之处隐隐作痛，回想方才的所为，颇有几分凶险。他硬接“伏虎功”，逆气化解了若干掌力，加上气血逆行、穴位不定，赵见淮连环三指也是无功。饶是如此，血肉之躯连受重击、大大受损，内伤牵动逆气，几乎惨遭大劫。 意想及此，乐之扬问道：“水姑娘，你有什么打算？ ”水影叹道：“这儿是待不了啦，为今之计，只好去找家师。” “秋前辈在哪儿？ ”乐之扬想起来意，忍不住发问。 水怜影目光闪动，答非所问：“乐公子，你找家师，到底所为何事？ ”乐之扬叹道：“我有一件生死攸关的大事，须找秋前辈， 托她引荐梁城主。” 水怜影微露讶色，莲航忍不住讥讽：“你不是西城少主么？ 自己的师父还要别人引荐？" 乐之扬讪讪挠头，水怜影却说：“莲航，城主之事，岂可玩笑。 乐公子先前所说，不过权宜之计，此间说，此间了，日后也不要再提了。 莲航吐一吐舌头，笑道：“我不说就是了。”水怜影又说：“家师行踪飘忽，现在何处，我也不知，但本派之间，常以暗记联络。 只要家师留下暗记，顺藤摸瓜，就能找到。” 乐之扬大喜过望，忙说：“事不宜迟，咱们马上出发。”三女面面相对，岚耘问道：“乐公子，你的伤没事了么？ ” “好得很。”乐之扬伸手伸脚.“上山打得老虎，下海踢得王八，姑娘要是不信，我背着你到紫禁城走一遭？ ” 岚耘脸皮子薄，闻言红透耳根，莲航却说：“大言不惭， 去紫禁城干什么？ ”乐之扬笑道：“种莲花啊。”莲航怪道：“干吗在紫禁城种莲花？ ” “紫禁城里风水好啊！ ”乐之扬一本正经地说，“开花的时候， 莲心里长出个小女娃娃，因莲而生，故叫莲航，牙尖嘴利的不是好人。" “你才不是好人！ ”莲航挥拳要打，拳到半途，忽又想起乐之扬的伤势，一时高举粉拳，拿不定主意是否落下。乐之扬见状, 哈哈大笑。莲航恨得牙痒，正想大声呵斥，忽听水怜影说进：“莲航， 大敌当前，不要胡闹。”抱起猫儿径自出门，其他三人慌忙跟上。 水厅之外，盐帮的船只三三两两，看见四人，纷纷聚拢。莲航忍不住骂道：“这些讨厌鬼，真真阴魂不散。” 岚耘也发愁说：“这下糟了，水路走不了啦：水怜影想了想， 说道：“水路不通，就走陆路，马厩里不是有马么？ " 四人前往马厩，路上经过花圃，水怜影忽地停下，找到一株半人来高的灌木。叶子细小如星，茎干上长满了密密层层的尖刺， 枝条向下垂挂，长满了金黄色的果子，大小有如金橘，甚是光亮悦目。 水怜影用手帕襄住右手1深入刺丛，摘下几个果子。岚耘忍不住问道：“小姐，你采'姻缘果'干吗？ ”水怜影走出花圃，笑道：“此间如果被毁，也好留些种子。”斑耘闻言，神色微微一黯。乐之扬小声问莲航：“这是什么果子？ ” “这是金玉果。”莲航低声说道，“除了这儿和西城，天下再无第三个地方生长。你别看果皮金黄，里面的种子却是莹白如玉，古诗里说：'金风玉露一相逢，便胜却人间无数。'金玉果金皮玉瓤, 正合诗中意境，故而也叫'姻缘果'。” 说话间，走近马厩，众人忽然闻到一股血腥味，岚耘叫声“不好",赶到马厩，但见马匹横七竖八地躺了一地，均是头开脑裂、 一击毙命。 众人无不心惊，岚耘素日养马，见状流下泪来。水怜影叹一口气，抚摸她的秀发，柔声说：“别难过了，马儿走得快，也没受多少痛苦。” 莲航愤然道：“这些盐贩子真可恶，连马儿也不放过。”乐之扬叹道："他们封堵水路、杀死马匹，无非画地为牢，要将我们困在这里。” “没那么容易。”水怜影目透怒意：“没有马匹，那就步行。” 众人精神一振，乐之扬拍手笑道：“正该如此。” 步行出门，走了百步，忽见前方林子中有人探头探脑，看见四人，忙又缩回头去。 乐之扬心生警觉，一扬手，飞雪扑啦啦窜上天去，到了林子上方，不住盘旋绕圈儿，乐之扬辨识鹰语，说道：“不好，前边林子里有……” 话没说完，林中“咻”地飞出一支羽箭，飞雪略略一闪，让过羽箭，忽地收起翅膀，闪电般冲进林子。 忽然间，林中响起一声长长的惨叫，白影连连闪动，飞雪冲天而起，身后跟着数支羽箭。 白隼十分了得，俨然浑身是眼，竟在乱箭喑器中任怠穿梭, ―口气飞到百尺高处，羽箭、暗器纷纷下落，它却悠悠闲闲地绕了一个大圈，稳稳落在乐之扬的手背，众人定眼一看，飞雪右爪之间攥着一只血淋淋的人耳。 “好鸟儿。”莲航欢喜道，“岚耘姐，它可为你的马儿报了仇啦。"这时林中鼓噪起来，冲出一百多人，均是提刀弄枪。有人高叫：“直娘贼，鸟畜生抓掉了郑老弟的耳朵，快，拿住这些狗男女，一个也别放过。”一边叫，一边追赶过来。 四人转身就走，刚到水榭前方，赵见淮又带人冲了出来。乐之扬左右看看，大声说：“跟我来。”说着奔向湖岸，这时几个盐帮弟子奔近，岚耘抓起铁莲子反手掷出。 那几人惨哼摔倒，后方追兵大怒，张弓布弩，正要发箭，赵见淮一步赶到，挥掌打落弓弩， 邛道：“射你娘么？射死了他们，谁去换钱长老？ ” 趁着对方投鼠忌器，四人沿着湖岸飞奔，不久人烟繁盛，到了湖畔长街。乐之扬回头望去，盐帮弟子纷纷停步，犹豫不前。莲航怪道：“他们怎么不追了？ ” 乐之扬笑道：“这儿可是京城， 大庭广众之下，他们不敢胡来。”莲肮大喜，回头扮个鬼脸，气得对方暴跳如雷。 湖边游人甚多，走了一百余步，莲航回头又瞧，忽道：“奇怪盐贩子不见了。” 乐之扬应声回头，果然不见了敌人，心中不由大为纳闷：盐帮宗旨“人犯我一尺，我犯人一丈”。知难而退，不似他们的作为。 正想着，心头一动，忽生警觉。长街上人烟稠密，声响纷纭, 但他“灵感”在身,洪声异响均能知觉,一应脚步杂沓、衣袂拂动, 均是一丝不落，传入他的耳朵。 乐之扬侧耳聆听，忽地拉扯岚耘，低声说：“小心那个磨刀的……”岚耘顺着他手指看去，一个磨刀匠挑着担子迎面走来， 年过四旬，土里土气，担子左边挑着竹筐，右边捆着一方磨刀的砂石。 岚耘不解其意，待要询问，莲航抢先说：“不就是磨刀的么？ 有什么好担心的？ ”乐之扬道：“他的步子不对。”拔転问道：“怎么不对？ ” “节奏不对。"乐之扬顿了顿，“常人走路，大多随意，这人每走一步，都是深思熟虑。" 莲航“嗤”的一笑，说道：“又胡说了，从脚步声也能听出心事么？那你听一听我的，看我心里想些什么……”正说着，磨刀匠穿过人群，走到近前，忽然身子一偏，扁担打横，俨然站立不稳，直直撞向莲航的肩头。 这一下来势突兀，又在稠人广众之间，莲航梓不及防，竟而忘了躲闪。乐之扬眼疾手快,扣住她的手臂，大力一拽,横拖半尺, 扁担擦过肩头，火辣辣一阵疼痛。莲航不及细想，扁担左边的竹筐凌空一甩，流星赶月一般撞向岚耘。 岚耘向后一跳，躲开竹筐撞击，抓起花锄啄向磨刀匠。磨刀匠右手一翻，多了一把菜刀，当啷挡住铁锄。这时莲航赶来，挥掌拍向他的左胁。磨刀匠左手一挥，又多了一把剪刀，一开一合， 铰向少女白生生的手掌。 莲航急急缩手，飞脚便踢。磨刀匠不慌不忙，磨刀石向前一甩，莲航踢中石块，脚趾传来一阵剧痛。 二女左右夹击，磨刀匠左刀右剪，应付自如，肩上的担子忽而在左，忽而在右，左右盘旋，上下翻飞，势如两面盾牌，在拦住对手。二女使尽解数，也难以占到上风。 乐之扬一边掠阵，但见磨刀匠招式繁杂，节奏却很清楚，当下拔出玉笛，正想上前，忽听轱辘声响，冲出一个男子，上身赤裸，手推双轮小车，头也不抬，直愣愣撞了过来。 乐之扬心中暗骂，拉着水怜影退到一边，不料推车人大喝一声，双手举起小车，向着二人横扫过来。岚耘回眼看见，丢下磨刀匠，攻向推车人身后。 那人哈哈一笑，抡起车子迎上锄头， 的一声，小车破碎，木肩横飞，一根木刺扎入岚耘的手臂，血如泉涌，顿时染红衣袖。 岚耘咬牙忍痛，挥锄猛攻。推车人抓起两只车轮，舞得呼呼生风，锄头撞上车轮，发出叮当之声，原来，两只车轮竟是铁铸。 铁轮劈头盖脑，岚耘招架不住，正惊慌，光亮一闪，真刚剑从旁挑来，叮的一声，竞削断了铁轮的车辐。 推车人忌惮剑锋,闪身后退。乐之扬趁势而进,左手玉笛一挥， 拨中一只铁轮。推车人虎口发热，车轮向右甩出，撞向磨刀匠的扁担。 磨刀匠吃了一惊，用起担子，想要挡住铁轮，冷不防剑光闪过,挑担的绳子断成两截，磨刀石嗖地飞出，直奔推车人的胸膛。 推车人破口大骂，举起铁轮，砸碎石块。磨刀匠丢了石头, 担子失去平衡，只好丢下扁担，瞪着乐之扬一脸怒气。 乐之扬面朝二人，大声叫道：“莲航、岚耘，你们带小姐先走……”水怜影一怔，不及多说，两个丫鬟一左一右，扶着她向前飞奔。才跑数步，身后呼喝声起，水怜影回头望去，刀光轮影, 将乐之扬笼罩在内。 忽听岚耘发出一声惨哼，水怜影转眼看去，岚耘肩头染血，对面多了一个卖宫扇的妇人。妇人年约四旬，眉眼生春，双手挥舞宫扇，势如野云飘飞。莲航纵身欲上，妇人咯咯一笑，双手一扬， 两把宫扇脱手飞出，飘云闪电，快不可言。 莲航只恐有诈，拧身躲开。宫扇势如飞鸟，滴溜溜转了一圈， 又回到妇人手里，齐齐向前一挥，掀起一股香风。 岚耘正当风头，嗅到香气，忽觉头昏，她心中咯噔一下，叫声“有毒”，人已瘫软下去。 莲航看得发呆，忽觉身后狂风大作，她不及回头，反手一掌扫出，手掌所及，碰到了一个软绵绵、滑腻腻的东西，转眼一瞧， 竟是一条花斑大蟒，蛇口怒张，冲着她啦咝吐芯。 莲航武功再髙，也是女子，乍见蛇虫.魂飞魄散，一时脑中空空，什么武功也想不起来。 弄蛇的是个老者，打一声唿哨，大蟒疾如狂风，将莲航缠绕几圈。 少女神魂归窍，用力挣扎，可是无济于事，老者一指点中了她的“五枢穴”，莲肮摔倒在地，尖声大叫：“小姐，快逃……” 水怜影怀抱白猫，如痴如怔，弄蛇人呷呷怪笑，反手入袖， 又抓出一条殷红如血的赤链蛇，蛇头向前一送^凑到女子眼前。 水怜影仍是不动，瞪大双目，凝注蛇眼。说也奇怪，赤链蛇对上她的目光，忽地凶焰大减，收牙吐舌，意似困惑。 弄蛇老者莫名所以，心中焦躁起来，发出咝咝啸声，激起毒蛇凶性。毒蛇应声昂头，方要出击，忽地血光迸闪，坨头掉在地上， 真刚剑斩断虫蛇，顺势而下，削去了老者一根手指。 老者凄声惨叫，退入人群。水怜影松了一口气，回头看去， 乐之扬脸色苍白，大口喘气，水怜影心头一沉，忍不住问道：“你受伤了？ ” 乐之扬微微摇头，转眼望去，一个男子抓着莲航正向后退。 他纵身上前，举剑便刺，不意微风吹来，异香扑鼻，乐之扬脑子一空，手脚发软，当即反手挥剑，嗤的一声，剖开一把宫扇，扇后的妇人不意迷香无功，神气不胜愕然，乐之扬左脚突起，正中她的小腹，妇人坐倒在地，脸上一片血红。 乐之扬头昏脑涨，扫眼望去，四周人影憧憧，莲航早已不知去向。他心往下沉，忽又想起水怜影，回头看去，一个屠夫越众而出，右手握着尖刀，左手抓向水怜影的衣襟。 乐之扬救援不及，正觉焦急，忽听一声猫叫，水怜影的怀里蹿起一团白影，闪电般扑在屠夫脸上。那人惨叫一声，左手缩回，拼命抓向脸上的白猫。 惨叫声中，白猫忽地跳开，屠夫满脸爪痕、深可见骨，一只眼珠脱出眼眶，血淋淋挂在脸上。他不胜其苦，丢了尖刀，倒在地上痛苦翻滚。 北落师门一击得手，回到主人肩上，身如弯弓，颈毛如箭, 蓝汪汪的眼珠迸射凶光。 乐之扬望着白猫，不胜惊喜，这时人影晃动，推车人和磨刀匠双双赶来，扑向女子。乐之扬大喝一声，使一招“天元式"，平平一剑，刺向磨刀匠的腰腹。 磨刀匠识得厉害，正要向后跳开，不意狂风压顶，飞雪扑了下来。磨刀匠慌忙举刀护头，这么顾此失彼，真刚剑乘虚而入, 刺中了他的小腹,剑尖顺势而下，又在大腿上划了一道长长的口子。 磨刀匠失声惨叫,推车人听的心慌,仓皇后退,不意轮子一沉，多了个白花花的东西，定眼看去，正是北落师门。推车人见过屠夫惨状，慌忙摇晃车轮，想要甩掉白猫，这一来章法大乱，玉笛长驱直入，点中他的心口，推车人“咕咚”一声，也摔倒在地。 紧要关头，一隼一猫成了助力。乐之扬正想夸赞两句，忽然乌光一闪，飞来一只秤砣。乐之扬挥剑挑开，忽间一个掌柜模样的男子拎着秤杆冲了上来。秤杆熟铜打造，挑刺间暗合枪法，秤盘上下翮飞，使的却是流星锤的招式。 乐之扬使一招“天冲式”削断秤杆，又使一招“飞影神剑” 里的“浮光掠影”，玉笛架开秤盘，长剑乘虚而入。掌柜惨哼一声， 倒退数步，站定之时，绸衫裂成两半，肌肤上多了一道血痕。 这一剑再进数分，势必开膛破肚，掌柜心有余悸，双腿一阵发软。这时狂风大作，一个妇人举着纺锤扑来，乐之扬闪身让过, 尚未还击，忽听刷的一声，飞雪纵身扑下，利爪所过，女子右手迸血，纺锤掉在地上。 掌柜如梦方醒，扯着妇人退入人群。乐之扬也收起笛子，挽着水怜影大步向前。可是无论到哪儿，总是有人拦路：有厨子右手持锅，左手拿铲，能攻善守，有模有样；有老者挥舞两串草鞋，势如两条长鞭； 另有采桑女子，挽竹篮，提桑枝，左刺右击，凌厉无比；更有算命先生，一手舞动长幡，右手摇动卦筒，筒里的竹签如有灵性，箭矢一般跳将出来。 乐之扬寸步难行，但觉满街都是敌人。危殆之间，他的心神越发专注，灵感好比蜘蛛之丝、章鱼之足，四通八达、延伸不尽，觉出敌人节奏，立马奋力反击。飞雪、白猫一天一地，也是全力护主。 三方合作无间，一路向前，眼看突出重围，乐之扬忽觉左脚一痛，低头看去，足踝上赫然蟠了一条小蛇。 乐之扬又惊又怒，长剑一挥，斩断毒蛇，转眼看去，弄蛇老者站在不远，脸上挂着狞笑。 蛇毒发作极快，乐之扬脚下踉跄，眼前一阵昏黑。敌人一拥而上，弄蛇老者忽地大声叫道：“且慢！ ”众人应声看来，老者笑道：“困兽犹斗，大家先别动手，等他蛇毒发作。”众人心觉有理，停下脚步，将二人团团围住。 乐之扬心中冰冷，回头望去，水怜影俏脸惨白，越发柔弱堪怜。乐之扬不由叹一口气，伸出手来，握住女子之手，但觉纤巧柔软、凉腻如玉，水怜影似要缩手，但终究叹一口气，纤指收拢, 也将乐之扬的手紧紧握住。 忽然间，远处传来一缕胡琴声，凄凄切切，哀怨断肠。众人一听，都觉铋酸眼热，平生悲惨之事纷纷涌上心头，不知不觉, 流下泪来。 泪闸一开，悲苦更甚，但随琴声低回，有人渐渐哭出声来。 哭声有如瘟疫，风一般四处薆延，不过一盏茶的工夫，玄武湖边哭成一片。哭相各式各样：有的抽抽喳噎，有的向天哀号，有人捂脸悲泣，更有甚者，趴在地上，哭得直不起身来。 这支曲子正是《终成灰土之曲》比起千秋阁上，调子更加凄凉。乐之扬听了一段，便觉五内酸楚、七情失驭，眼泪滚滚而出,只想大放悲声。迷乱间，忽听一个声音在耳边说道：“哭什么？ 还不走么？ ” 乐之扬应声惊觉，左右看看，却不见人，当即撕下衣角堵住双耳，可那琴声有如钢丝，曲曲折折，仍是不断钻入。 乐之扬捂住双耳，转眼望去，水怜影已经陷入曲子，哭得伤心伤意；其他人更是癫狂，手舞足蹈，哭声震天，兵器丢在一边， 更无一人留意自己。 乐之扬挣扎起来，回头去扶女子。谁知道，水怜影神志昏乱, 只顾挣扎。乐之扬情急之下，也不知哪儿来的力气，大喝一声，将她抱了起来。 敌人看在眼里，伸手来抓二人，但为琴声所制，哭得浑身发软，出手也无气力。乐之扬一口气冲开人群，跑了两百多步，拐入一条小巷，但觉无人追来，这才放下女子。 此时远离湖畔，胡琴声隐约不闻。水怜影淸醒过来,回想方才, 不胜羞惭，转眼看去，乐之扬紧皱眉头，若有所思，忍不住问道： "乐公子，你想什么？ ” “奇怪。”乐之扬撩起裤脚，蛇咬的伤口流出淡红色的血水， 肿胀之势，竟也平复下来。 “不奇怪！ ”水怜影注目伤口，轻声叹道，“'凤泣血露'百药之精，疗伤化毒，无所不能，蛇毒一入身体，就被血露化去了。” 乐之扬呆了呆，回想先前吸入迷香，也未昏迷倒下，当时只觉奇怪，如今想来，也是“凤泣血露”的功劳。 意想及此，他松了一口气，问道：“水姑娘，街上那些人也是盐帮的么？ ” 水怜影点了点头：“他们是盐帮的'三十六行客'。” “三十六行客？ ” “三十六行客，出身三十六行，多在市井、码头出没，专为盐帮刺杀仇敌、清除异己。” 乐之扬想了想，又问：“三十六行，共有三十六个人么？ ” “不是。”水怜影摇头苦笑，“天下哪一行只有一个人呢？ ” 乐之扬眼珠一转，忽而笑道：“说起来，天下有一行，当真只有一人。”水怜影奇道：“哪一行？ ”乐之扬道：“天无二日、 国无二君，紫禁城的皇帝不就是一个人吗？ ” 两人才脱险境，他又故态复萌。水怜影好笑之余，也觉佩服, 点头道：“受教了，原来还有一个皇帝行。这么说，该叫做三十七行才对……”说到这儿，忽又闷闷不乐，“也不知莲航和岚耘怎么样了。” 乐之扬道：“我方才急着脱身，不曾看见她们，但只要井长老还在西城手里，盐帮一定不敢为难她们。” 水怜影点了点头，含笑道，"无论如何，公子舍命相救，水怜影没齿
