This is a popular folk song in the south of the Yangtze River. The singing is lingering and the tune is brisk, immediately turning the atmosphere around.The young Kazakh boy said: "This girl sings really well!" He gave He Luhua a precious huqin as a token of respect.Zhuo Yihang told her that this is the etiquette of the Kazakh people, and she could not refuse, He Luhua accepted it with a smile.Those young men had a good impression of her and talked around her.He Luhua asked, "Where did you come from?" A young man who knew Chinese replied, "We came from Ili, and we once crossed the great desert of Samarahan!" He Luhua asked with a thought: "Did you meet such a Taoist priest on your journey today?" He described his father in detail.The Kazak youth said: "Oh, I met him before. Are you on the same road with him? That Taoist priest is really weird, sitting on horseback with an angry face, mixed among a group of lamas." He Luhua wondered: "What? Lama!" Her father and the lama never had friendship!The young man said: "Yes, we also find it strange that a Taoist priest of the Han nationality is mixed among the Tibetan lamas, it is very dazzling. Those lamas are also riding horses, and they all seem very fierce!" He Luhua was taken aback, and asked, "Did they tie the Taoist priest to the horse?" The young man shook his head, and said, "I didn't see clearly. The old Taoist priest was among the Lama's horses. They looked dejected. Their horses were running very fast, and we gave way to them, so we gave them a few whips." Zhuo Yihang said, "Where did they go?" The young man said, "Go in the direction we came from. "Zhuo Yihang said: "Then they will also cross the great desert of Samarahan." After pondering for a while, he suddenly took out a few snow lotuses from his bag and said, "What do you think of these snow lotuses?" The snow lotus was picked by Zhuo Yihang when he visited Zen Master Huiming on the northern peak of Tianshan Mountain. Each flower has dozens of petals, wrapped in layers, like a snowball.Those Kazakhs were amazed, and said: "We have never seen such a big snow lotus, where did you pick it?" Zhuo Yihang smiled and said: "I will combine these snow lotuses with Would you like to exchange a camel and a tent?" The Kazakhs were very fair and said, "Camels are easy to get, but snow lotus is hard to find. These snow lotuses are much more valuable than a camel." Zhuo Yi Waterway: "For me, camels are hard to come by, and snow lotus is easy to pick. Since you are willing, let's exchange it." The Kazakhs were overjoyed and gave them some tools and dry food in the desert. Early the next morning, Zhuo Yihang broke up with the Kazakhs, rode a camel with He Luhua, and headed westward.He Luhua said: "Why do you want this camel? This camel is slower than us." Zhuo Yihang said: "The great Samarakand desert stretches from the north to the south of Xinjiang, with thousands of miles of yellow sand. You are not used to deserts. If you don't How can I get to this desert boat?" He Luhua said: "How my father would go with those lamas is really unpredictable. Could it be that he was kidnapped by them? But my father has never been outside the Great Wall. , let alone have nothing to do with lamas, this matter is too strange." Zhuo Yihang remembered the grudge between himself and the lamas of the Tianlong Sect in Tibet, and thought: "Could it be the Lamas of the Tianlong Sect. But how do they know He is my martial uncle? Besides, Master Baishi's swordsmanship is one of the best in our sect, so how could he be tricked by them?" He couldn't figure it out, so he said: "Since we know that they have penetrated into the desert, we can only follow them all the way. Go get news." There are thousands of miles of yellow sand in the great desert, and there is no one inhabited. Fortunately, two people walk together, which can relieve loneliness.He Luhua is only a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and it is the first time she has come to the outside of the Great Wall. She is curious about everything in the desert, and often asks questions about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Zhuo Yihang talked to her, Life is not difficult, but whenever He Luhua asks about Yu Luocha, Zhuo Yihang often laughs and does not answer, or just talks about him. After walking for half a month without knowing it, I found the footprints of camel horses in the desert from time to time, but when I followed those footprints, the footprints were often covered by the changes of wind and sand.He Luhua walked for so many days and still hadn't walked out of the desert. He couldn't feel anxious. One day when it was almost dusk, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of him, and the yellow sand mist was blown up against the wind.Zhuo Yihang said: "Looks like it's going to be windy again tonight, let's find a place leeward to set up the tent." Sure enough, the strong wind came at night, there was no moon or star in the desert, and the yellow-gray sand fog Like a thick yellow tent, covering the sky and the earth. Zhuo Yihang chose a leeward place to set up the tent, and tied big stones on all sides. The camels stood outside the tent like a wall, blocking the wind and sand.Even so, the tent was still rattling by the wind.He Luhua said: "I didn't expect the wind and sand outside the Great Wall to be so powerful." Zhuo Yihang said with a smile: "It's not the wind season yet, if it is the wind season, the sand dunes will be moved by the wind, and where the wind is, people and animals will also be swept into the air by the wind. No one can resist it except the huge camel. The wind is not too strong, and it seems that it will pass soon." After a while, the wind was weak and the two of them were about to rest when they heard a camel outside the tent neighing, Zhuo Yihang rushed out of the tent, only to see two black shadows passing through the camel.Zhuo Yihang raised his hand and shouted: "The sandstorm has not yet passed, why don't you two come into the tent and get together for a while." The two men stopped, but they were dressed in Han Chinese clothes. They came forward and sang, and said: "Our horse was blown down by the wind and was dying. It can't be used. It would be best to have a greeting from the gentleman." Then they followed Zhuo Yihang both entered. Zhuo Yihang knew that they wanted to steal camels, but remembering the danger of wind and sand, they didn't have mounts, so it was understandable for them to want to steal camels, so they didn't expose it, and still treated them politely. These two Han men had knives hanging from their waists, and their faces were full of flesh. He Luhua glanced at Zhuo Yihang, with a look of dislike.Zhuo Yihang smiled and said: "The night in the desert is cold, let's light a fire and get some boiling water." He Luhua lit a fire and took out a copper pot, poured the water in the water bag, and said, "You should build a stove, otherwise the pot will be a waste of water." There is no place to put it." Zhuo Yihang glanced at it, and said with a smile: "There is no gravel here, and the big stones that press the tent are not suitable, what should we do?" The two Han people said: "You are welcome, Mr. Xiang, we have been in the desert for a long time , got wind and cold." Zhuo Yihang said: "Why use your body to endure it, let me think about it." He glanced again and said: "I have a solution, let's try it." Moving the big stone that was pressing the tent to In the tent, secretly using the strength of the inner family, he slapped his palms suddenly, and shouted "open!" The big rock was split into four pieces, and he laughed: "This is not enough!" Immediately set up the stove, the two people were dumbfounded , keep silent. Zhuo Yihang was wary that these two people were bad guys, so he deliberately showed his hand, and still chatted with them as if nothing had happened, when the water boiled, the wind and sand outside had stopped, the two drank the water, and said goodbye: "Thank you for your greeting, Mr. Zhuo." A course: "It's inconvenient to travel at night, isn't it?" The two said: "We have been running for many years, and we are used to it. It is not the windy season, and it is rare that there is a wind. After this wind blows, within three to five days, there will probably be no traffic." It will happen again, traveling during the day and traveling at night are the same. Besides, the husband has a family member with him, so it is inconvenient for us to bother him any longer." He Luhua blushed, Zhuo Yihang said: "In that case, I wish you two a safe journey. "Sent out of the account.The two Han people suddenly asked at the same time: "Please leave your name and repay me later." Zhuo Yihang said: "What's the point of worrying about such trivial matters?" The two Han people looked at each other, thanked each other and left. Zhuo Yihang returned to the tent, He Luhua complained: "People's hearts are unpredictable, why didn't you ask them clearly, so you invited them." Zhuo Yihang said: "I am a chivalrous person, how can I not help when I am in trouble." He Luhua said : "Those two people have fleshy faces. I hated them when I saw them. They must not be good people. Fortunately, you showed your hand and calmed them down. I guess they must have a guilty conscience. Later, seeing that you have special skills, this Hurry up and go." Zhuo Yihang smiled and said: "The matter is over, don't need to guess randomly." He Luhua said: "Brother, your kung fu is really good, you can split that big rock into four pieces with just a press of your palms, even my father It may not be possible, I think that apart from the second uncle, no one in this sect has such skill, no wonder the uncles must invite you back to the mountain." Zhuo Yihang said: "Patriarch Bodhidharma's martial arts are profound and profound, it is incredible, I'm just scratching the surface. If I can find the secret book of Patriarch Bodhidharma, my martial arts will be invincible in the world." At this time, Zhuo Yihang secretly made a vow: he will never go back to Wudang Mountain in this life. However, in order to repay the kindness of the teacher, the Wudang secret book must be retrieved. Even if he died outside the Great Wall, he must order Xin Longzi to retrieve it. The wind and sand had stopped, and the night was getting darker. The two talked for a while, and each rested. After the two strangers left, He Luhua relaxed, and fell asleep after a while. The faint light of the fire reflected her apple-like face Zhuo Yihang secretly sighed, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Jade Raksha in Huanglong Cave. At that time, Jade Raksha was pretending to be sleeping, and his face was full of innocence. She looked evil, remembering that I was afraid that she would catch a cold, so I gently took off my coat and covered her body... I suddenly thought of the poem "Beauty has been like a famous general since ancient times, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair", thinking of myself. , Time flies, I can't help but sigh sadly. Feeling melancholy and melancholy, Zhuo Yihang couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Seeing that the fire was about to go out, he was about to get up and add another fire, when he heard another long hiss from the camel outside the tent. Zhuo Yihang He thought to himself: "Could it be that those two guys are back again?" He leaned over and wanted to get up, suddenly there was a crack, a gap was torn open in the tent, the strong wind blew, the cold light flashed, and a shining throwing knife was thrown in. Zhuo Yihang yelled loudly, pincers with two fingers, threw the flying knife to the ground, pulled out his portable sword, and used the "White Snake Out of the Hole" move, spit out the tip of the sword, and swung around to prevent plotting, and his body followed suit. With the sword light piercing out of the tent. The enemy outside the tent did not drag any hidden weapons anymore, the sky was dark, and Zhuo Yihang could only vaguely see three burly figures, sprinting to the west, Zhuo Yihang shouted angrily: "Little thief who stole the camel, I kindly ask you to avoid it!" Fengsha, you will avenge your kindness, and you dare to invite your comrades to secretly kill you, if I don't punish you, it will be too much for heaven!" The sword walked with him, and he rushed forward like a whirlwind, and in an instant, he chased behind the three of them. Zhuo Yihang thought that among the three people, two of them must be formerly Han Chinese.Unexpectedly, as soon as they caught up, the three of them suddenly turned around, and one of them shouted: "I have traveled all over the Great Wall, if I want to steal it, I will steal a rare treasure, whoever wants to steal your camel!" The other said: "I want to see the Wudang sect. What kind of ability does the head have? It is worth the effort of our incense masters, special invitation!" All three of them covered their faces with black veils, and the two of them spoke with a hoarse accent. But the face man just let out a sneer and didn't speak. Zhuo Yihang was taken aback, the weird behavior and speech of these three masked men was completely beyond his expectation! Listening to the tone of these people, there is quite a lot of history, but secretly attacking is an act that martial arts despise, and it is said that people with background should not do this.This one. "Xiangzhu" is a kind of respectful title for the leader of the gang in the Central Plains. In the despicable place outside the Great Wall, why is there an organization about the "Xiangtang" inside?This second.Although Zhuo Yihang's experience has greatly increased in the past few years, he is extremely puzzled by this.He had suspected that these masked men were lamas of the Tianlong sect in Tibet, but hearing them speak Chinese so fluently, it didn't seem like they were. At this moment, the two sides are already close to each other, so there is no room for Zhuo Yihang to deliberate carefully.The two masked men who were talking turned around and started immediately.One hand holds the judge's pen, and it is very sharp to tap and knock; the other palm is chopping and sweeping, creating a strong wind, and the palm strength is also very powerful. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yihang encountered a master in the middle of the desert, he was startled, woke up, and hurriedly displayed the Wudang School's seventy-two-hand chain swordsmanship to meet the enemy. Make a letter with the left pen of the Judge's pen, and tap Zhuo Yihang's "Smiling Waist Point" obliquely with the right pen, there is a proper sound, sparks fly, the Judge's pen is thrown out, and Zhuo Yihang's mouth is also slightly heated.How fast Zhuo Yihang changed his moves, the chain sword in seventy-two hands was continuous, in this instant, he had already changed his body and changed his body, and he made three quick moves towards another enemy, that enemy was also very powerful, Ao avoided the upper sword, pointed with his left hand, pierced his right palm under his left arm, poked his palm and chopped, forcing Zhuo Yihang's third sword to deflect aside, and then he pushed his feet hard, swish Flying up, moving one zhang to the right, Zhuo Yihang attacked the door three times very fiercely, but unexpectedly gave him half attack and half defense, all of which were avoided.It was too late, but soon enough, the masked man of the judge's pen entangled him again, and the two pens flew obliquely, with fierce momentum, Zhuo Yihang turned around and swung his sword, raising his legs to sweep across, Wudang School's "Mandarin Duck Linked Legs" and Swordsmanship is also well-known. This move is "up and down", and the sword and legs are used together. If the masked man who uses the judge's pen avoids the sword that stabs upward, he will not be able to avoid the leg that sweeps downward; With legs crossed, you can't avoid the sword stabbing upwards, the situation is very critical. The swords and legs flew together, the sword came first and the legs came later, the masked man just opened the upper sword, Zhuo Yihang swiped left and kicked right, it reached the center of the front.But in this instant, the man who was forced away by Zhuo Yihang stepped back and leaped forward, and suddenly he took both palms down, which was actually the trick of "Flying Eagle Catch Rabbit" in "Great Capture Hand", If he is held by him, no matter how strong his martial arts are, he will fall down on the spot.Zhuo Yihang was a little frightened, he also jumped six or seven feet away, he was really surprised, this man's movements seemed to be seen there. The two masked men yelled: "Where are you going!" They outflanked the left and right sides, and attacked together.Zhuo Yihang said angrily: "I'm still afraid that you won't succeed? It's just that you two are extraordinary, but it's a pity to do third-rate deeds!" The man who used the judge's pen laughed and said: "Try your skills , how can it be considered obscene?" Zhuo Yihang had no time to tell him apart, he stretched out his sword and stabbed swiftly.Although the man said it was a trial move, the pens were aimed at the thirty-six acupoints on the body without mercy.And the guy who is proficient in the "big catcher" is even more aggressive, just like dealing with a big enemy! Zhuo Yihang was furious, and he used his life's unique skill, seventy-two swords in a row, like the Yangtze River, rolling up, attacking against attacking, making it hard to distinguish.After thirty or fifty strokes, there is no winner. Of the three masked men, two of them fought fiercely with Zhuo Yihang, while the other stood leisurely and watched the battle by the side, laughing once or twice from time to time.Zhuo Yihang was very surprised, but he couldn't help but guard against his sneak attack.I can't figure out what kind of people they are. In the midst of a fierce battle, He Luhua rushed out of the tent and arrived like flying.Zhuo Yihang worried about the strong enemy, and shouted: "Junior Sister, don't go forward." He Luhua would not listen, he rushed up like a whirlwind!With a swipe of the sword, he pierced the phoenix eye point of the judge's pen. The man returned the pen and held it horizontally. It is the "Jingcuu point" on the back of the waist, the man slapped his backhand, and the palm wind Tang Yi, He Yuanhua jumped in "fright", shouted: "It's amazing!" and jumped away again. He Luhua's swordsmanship was carefully taught by Taoist Baishi, although it is far inferior to Zhuo Yihang's, but under the threat of Zhuo Yihang's fierce sword moves, the two of them couldn't help her for a while, and her body was light and agile , with a slippery style of attack, turning back and forth, one sword to the left, one sword to the right, one sword to the upper, and the next to the sword, all pierced are the acupoints of the human body. Although the two of them did not regard her as a strong enemy, they also Have to guard against. As a result, the situation changed drastically.The two of them were struggling against Zhuo Yihang, and with the addition of He Luhua harassing them, they felt overwhelmed.The masked man who was watching the battle couldn't take it anymore, suddenly let out a long cry, untied the belt around his waist, waved his hand, and made a crackling sound, the belt in his hand was like a soft whip, slapped Hovering around, he swiped at Zhuo Yihang's shoulder, Zhuo Yihang "stepped on the seven stars", skillfully turned around, and swung behind the enemy with his sword, pointing at the tip of the sword like the wind, the masked man went straight As if eyes were growing in the back, without looking back, Zhuo Yihang rolled the belt behind his hands, and Zhuo Yihang was overwhelmed, and hurriedly withdrew his hands. Unexpectedly, this masked man was proficient in the technique of "listening to the wind to distinguish weapons", and his martial arts were also superior There were many of them before. After the masked man who made the belt joined, the situation changed again. Zhuo Yihang and He Luhua had two enemies and three, and gradually they had no choice but to parry.The enemy who made the judge's pen spoke sneeringly again: "Ha, Wudang's head is nothing more than that! The Lord of Xiang thinks too much of him!" Zhuo Yihang was furious, and with a twist of his sword, it pierced like a falcon Lin, the giant wave-grabbing bird, suddenly pierced through the enemy who was using the belt, and with a move of "the chicken seizes the millet", the sword light flashed, piercing his face and eyes, the man used a "horizontal golden beam", two pens He crossed upwards, but Zhuo Yihang's move was false, he saw a ray of green light, the sword turned around, and with a "chi", a big hole was pierced through the front of his clothes. Hurry up, otherwise this sword will be a calamity piercing through the belly. The masked man with the judge's pen broke out in a cold sweat, Zhuo Yihang's sword move was so weird that they didn't expect it, and the masked man with the belt let out a "Hey", it was not the Wudang Seventy-two-handed chain sword The number of families is just like waves on the flat ground, with strange peaks protruding, coming suddenly and disappearing silently, making people unpredictable and hard to guard against. With several moves in a row, the three masked men were forced to retreat again and again.How could they have guessed that these moves are the martial arts masterpiece, the long-lost Dharma sword style. These three masked men were used to being enemies, none of them were mediocre, seeing Zhuo Yihang's strange sword moves, they all retreated and defended in unison.Although Dharma's sword style is powerful, Zhuo Yihang only knows a few moves, it's okay for surprise attack, but not for protracted battle.After several moves, the enemy saw through the reality and surrounded him again.Zhuo Yihang had no choice but to use Wudang's serial sword technique mixed with Dharma sword style to defend against powerful enemies. Another thirty or fifty moves were fought, Zhuo He and the two were even more disadvantaged, and the three masked men attacked even more tightly, but Zhuo Yihang's sword was dense and He Luhua's body was light and agile, and he did not show his defeat for a while .The masked man with the belt was able to kill, and he used the soft whip move of "returning the wind to sweep the willows", with a whistling wind, he rolled over violently.Zhuo Yihang's heart moved, and he suddenly called out: "Senior Huo, why did you become my enemy twice or three times?" This masked man is exactly Huo Yuanzhong who was defeated by Yu Luocha at the southern peak of Tianshan Mountain. Huo Yuanzhong's soft whip is unique in martial arts. Zhuo Yihang used to wear a belt because he first came to cover his face and secondly changed to a belt. Only now recognize it. Huo Yuanzhong sneered, and said, "Where's your Jade Raksha?" Zhuo Yihang said angrily, "You have enmity with Yu Raksha, so you should go to find her, but you are a hero of the predecessors, but you are such a thug If I say that my colleagues in the martial arts know, where do you put your old face?" Huo Yuanzhong laughed and said: "Who is plotting against you? Go back to the tent to see, and I will help you Invitations are here! Someone from Yu Luocha has also sent invitations, and if you are brave enough, you can go to the meeting as scheduled!" After finishing speaking, he made another haha, and shouted: "Enough of trying tricks, this boy will be your sweetheart!" The Lord's guests, it's not enough to bury you, right?" The belt swung in a half arc, untied Zhuo Yihang's attacking sword, and retreated abruptly. Zhuo Yihang was taken aback for a moment, but unexpectedly, when he and Huo Yuanzhong were talking, the two masked men suddenly attacked He Luhua fiercely, causing the judge to hold He Luhua's sword while the other's left hand was like a hook. , grabbed the wrist, and swung his right palm, touching her chest, He Luhua was entangled by the judge's pen, unable to resist, he felt the wind of his palm like a knife, rustling on his clothes, and he screamed out loud. At this moment, there was another scream, and with a "gudong", someone turned over and fell to the ground.It turned out that it was Zhuo Yihang who flew to rescue him, and pierced the man's right palm with a move of "crossing the river with a reed" in the Bodhidharma sword style, but because he was eager to save him, he flew over and got a scratch on the shoulder for He Luhua, I just feel a burning pain. Huo Yuanzhong shouted: "Are you injured?" The judge's pen was silent, he turned around and ran with his companion on his back, Huo Yuanzhong shouted again: "Zhuo Yihang, if you are not afraid of others taking revenge for this sword attack, we wind up Goodbye, Sand Iron Castle!" Zhuo Yihang sneered repeatedly, holding his sword and not chasing him. He Luhua asked: "Brother, have you been caught by his ghostly hands?" Zhuo Yihang said: "It's nothing, let's go back." He Luhua said: "Do you know them? Since they said it was a trial move, why are they so vicious? " Zhuo Yihang said: "I know the person who made the belt is Huo Yuanzhong." He Luhua said: "Well, Huo Yuanzhong, he had a relationship with my father, I think my father must have been plotted by them." Zhuo Yihang asked in surprise: "What Liangzi, I haven't heard Master Baishi mention it." He Luhua said: "I only heard him talk about it after I arrived outside the Great Wall. According to my father, thirty years ago Huo Yuanzhong once and He talked about martial arts, but he refused to accept that Wudang swordsmanship is the best in the world, so his father competed with him. Within thirty moves, he stabbed him with a sword and asked him if he was convinced. Then Huo Yuanzhong was also stubborn and kept silent, my father Stabbed him again with a sword, and forced him to give up, that's enough." Zhuo Yihang sighed: "Uncle Shi was too angry when he was young." In fact, Taoist Baishi is old, and his temper has not yet change.He Luhua said: "Yes, my father did a little too much in this matter. So this time he came with me far outside the Great Wall, and told me that there are no masters outside the Great Wall, but I just want to beware of Huo Yuanzhong, lest he report three crimes." The enmity between two swords ten years ago." Zhuo Yihang said: "Based on Huo Yuanzhong's martial arts, he can only draw with your father at most now. Your father will not be plotted by him, I'm afraid there are people involved in it." He Luhua Said: "That's right, didn't Huo Yuanzhong just talk about the wind and sand and iron fortress, and also talk about the invitation card? Could it be that he has another party, and he took advantage of this gap to deliver the post in our tent! We have to be careful." While speaking, the two of them had returned to the outside of the tent, Zhuo Yihang lit the flint, opened the tent with his sword, and took a look inside, but saw that the remnant fire had gone out and there was no one in the tent.He Luhua went in and added some withered grass that was intended for the camels to eat, stirred up the flames, and wondered: "Huo Yuanzhong is talking nonsense, where is there any invitation card!" , wearing a piece of paper on the tip of the knife, hurriedly lifted it up, and said: "Oh, the invitation is here." Sending posts with flying knives is a common occurrence in Jianghu, and the intention is not to hurt people, so it can't be regarded as a sneak attack.Zhuo Yihang took down the note and said with a smile: "I also wondered how the old man Huo Yuanzhong would do such dirty things, but he is also a person of status, let me see who he is willing to send the note for?" He Luhua leaned over to look, I saw the note read: "I have heard for a long time that the Wudang sect dominates the Central Plains, but I regret the thousands of miles of Guanshan, and I have no chance to ask for advice. Now that your head is traveling far and low, how can you not show the friendship of the landlord? During the Qixi Festival, I am waiting in the castle. Wind and sand. The Lord of the Castle respects you." Zhuo Yihang frowned and said: "It must be Huo Yuanzhong who is talking about me, saying that I am the head of the Wudang sect, causing this kind of trouble. How can I have the mood to compete in the martial arts!" He Luhua said: "For my father , you don’t want to fight for supremacy, you have to fight.” Zhuo Yihang said: “Those Kazakhs said that your father walked with a group of lamas, it may not be in Fengsha Castle.” He Luhua said: “This is also a clue.” Zhuo Yihang said: "Having said that, we don't know where the Wind Sand Castle is located." The wound on his shoulder was aching slightly. Let's talk after the medicine is taken." Zhuo Yihang said: "Yes, give it to me." Turning his back, he tore off the clothes on his shoulders, and applied the medicine himself.He Luhua is innocent and unrestrained in his daily life.When Zhuo Yihang got along with her, he was always on tenterhooks, fearing that Yu Luosha would appear suddenly and cause misunderstanding, so he always avoided touching her skin, and when he saw that she wanted to apply medicine for him, he hurriedly did it himself. He Luhua secretly laughed in his heart, thinking: "Fortunately, he is still the leader, so coy." Suddenly there were footsteps outside the tent, and the camel neighed again. Zhuo Yihang dropped the ointment, drew his sword and shouted: "Who?" When the tent opened, the two Han men came back and said, "Mr. Zhuo, we have come to apologize to you!" What mystery, I think you must belong to Huo Yuanzhong's party." The two said: "Girl, you guessed right, but you also guessed wrong. Ouch, you were injured, this is the injury of the poisonous sand palm, here How to treat the frontier barren desert?" Seeing the itching of the wound, Zhuo Yihang was already suspicious, hearing them yelling, he smiled and said: "It really is the poisonous palm passed down by old monster Jin." The two said: "Since Zhuo Xianggong knows his origin, he hasn't tried to treat him as soon as possible. "Zhuo Yihang said with a faint smile: "Even if I wait another 12 hours to let it attack, I can still cure it. What's so great about the poisonous sand palm, why do you need to be so anxious? Just tell me, what do you want from me? crime?" He Luhua saw that it was poison sand palm, but changed color. It turns out that the Wudang sect has a secret recipe and is good at treating poison sand palm, but they have to boil ten pots of hot water and use the heat of water vapor to force out the poison in the body. The antidote will be effective.In this desert, dripping water is like gold, and the water bladder of a camel is only enough for a few days. How can you boil those ten pots of hot water? Zhuo Yihang didn't take it seriously at all, and urged the two to speak quickly.Those two people said: "We are Baoding of Fengsha Castle." Zhuo Yihang said: "Well, I just received an invitation from your castle master." The two said: "We already know this." He Luhua couldn't wait, grabbed He asked, "What is the name of your castle master? Why did he invite my elder brother to a martial arts competition?" The man in front of him replied: "Our castle owner's name is Cheng Zhang Wu, he originally came from the pass." Zhuo Yihang said, "I've never heard of this name." The man laughed and said, "He's been here for decades. 。卓相公的师叔也许知道。他以前也在淮南开设香堂，贩运私盐，后来被官军迫得紧要，无处立足，带了些兄弟逃到塞外来，也快三十年了，当年的兄弟剩下的也有限了。他才在塞外定居。我们的父亲就是跟他逃来的。撤马拉罕沙漠边缘，有一片水草富饶之地，牧民怕风砂侵袭，不敢到那边牧羊。他却在那里建起了庄堡，主堡用铁建成塔形，不怕风砂，因此就叫做风砂堡，外人也称为风砂铁堡。几十年来，他率领我们这一群汉人在那里垦荒畜牧，日子倒还过得去。”卓一航道：“那很不错嘛，好好的日子他不过，为何又要找我生事？” 那人道：“可是他烈士暮年，壮心未已。前几年，中原来了一个白发魔女，塞外各族英雄，不论胡汉，有名的都几乎受过她的折辱。我们因在沙漠之边，同时堡主归隐已久，侥幸她没来过。可是受过她折辱的人，有人知道我们的堡主是个有本领之人，就曾邀过他出山，要除掉那个魔女，我们的堡主一直也没有答应。” 何绿华叫道：“又是白发魔女！我告诉你们，白发魔女是我们武当派的仇人，你们的堡主为何反而找到我们武当派的头上？”那人笑道：“我们堡主已经知道，白发魔女又叫做玉罗刹，卓相公就是因她才会到塞外来的！” 卓一航面上一红，道：“你们的堡主是因她而连及我吗？”那人道：“也不尽是如此。今年春天，霍元仲来到堡中，劝我们堡主重立香堂，称雄塞外。西藏天龙派的人更愿帮我们堡主在塞外称王。听说因为天龙派的人曾被卓相公所杀，又被哈萨克人驱逐，所以天龙派教主愿助喀达尔族的酋长和我们堡主合作，在沙漠草原之上，据地封王。同时天龙派的人也曾吃过白发魔女的亏，因此，天龙上人也愿与草原沙漠英雄豪杰，联手抗她。” 卓一航吃了一惊，说道：“如此说来，岂不是变成了西藏回疆两地的好手都来对付我们了。”那人道：“是呀，我们的堡主还怕敌不过自发魔女，所以到处邀集好手，我们就是他派到北疆去请人的。”卓一航道：“既然如此，你们又为什么又来告诉于我？” 那人道：“我们日子过得不错，我们也不愿堡主大动干戈，听说那白发魔女十分厉害，若然两败俱伤，如何是好？而且卓相公为人如此之好，明知我们想偷骆驼，也愿收容，我们又怎忍相公赴险。” 何绿华忍不住问道：“何以你们刚才又不说？”那人说道：“那时我还不知道就是卓相公，后来碰到副堡主和霍元仲，我们说起有这么一个'异人'，霍元仲立刻猜出是卓相公。霍元仲好像很熟悉你们……”卓一航插口道：“玉罗刹和我都与他交过手。”那人道：“怪不得。白发魔女又名玉罗刹也是他说的。许多人都不知呢。” 那人道：“后来他们三人就来找你。他们本来是堡主请来探听你们行踪的。”卓一航问道：“慢着，哪一个是副堡主？”那人说道：“我们的副堡主是点穴名家……”卓一航道：“哦，那不用说了，他是使判官笔的。”何绿华道：“还有一个又是谁？”那人道：“听说是以前称雄西北的'阴风毒砂掌'金独异的一个门人。金独异的门人很多，他死了之后，有些门人走到塞外。”卓一航说道：“怪不得我对他的掌法似曾相识。”何绿华又问道：“那么白石道人你知道吗？”那人摇播头道：“没听说过，不过前几天，天龙派的喇嘛来了一大批，有人说夹有一个道士在内，也许就是你所说的那个白石道人也未可知。”何绿华跳了起来，说道：“你们的堡主没发请帖给我。我也要去了。喂，今日是什么日子？在大漠之中，见日起日落，时节日子都忘记了。”那人道：“今日是七月初四，七夕之期，便是我们堡主重立香堂的日子。”何绿华道：“这里离风砂堡还有多远？”那人想了一想，忽笑道：“如果你们是贺客，可以刚好在七夕之期赶到。”卓一航笑道：“我们就是要去道贺。” 那人急道：“卓相公还是不去的好。我还想请卓相公劝白发魔女也不要去。两虎相斗，必有一伤。伤了卓相公固然不好，伤了我们的堡主也不好。”卓一航道：“我知道了。我们自有主意。你们的堡主既然要你们去请人，你们就快走吧。”那两人告辞之后，何绿华忽然拍掌说道：“真是意想不到！” 卓一航愕然问道：“什么意想不到？”何绿华道：“看这两人面生横肉，却也是知恩善报。嗯，大哥这沙漠之地，如何找得十大锅水。”卓一航知她记挂自己所受的毒砂掌伤，笑道：“这个容易，你听我说……”忽然蹙了双眉，说不下去。 原来卓一航适才自忖，以自己现在的内功造诣，大可不必利用水气之力，单凭“玄功内运”，也可将体内的毒自己迫发出来。可是再仔细一想：在玄功内运之时，自己一动也不能动，这时需要有人给自己推揉穴道，若是男人，那还罢了，偏偏何绿华却是女子。若何绿华功力极深，那么隔衣认穴推揉，那也还可以，偏偏她功力尚浅，必须脱了上衣，让她亲接肌肤。 何绿华不知所以，见他双眉紧蹙，不觉慌了，道：“大哥，你为我受了伤，我却无法相救，如何是好？大哥，我只靠你去找爹爹，大后天便是七夕，你的伤……这、这怎么办？”卓一航心道：“事急从权，不能顾虑这么多了。”何绿华泪盈双睫，上前拉卓一航，卓一航说道：“毒砂掌算不了什么，只是要你帮忙。”何绿华道：“怎样帮忙？”卓一航将方法说了，并教她怎样推揉穴道。何绿华破涕为笑，咯咯笑道：“你这人真怪，既然如此容易，何不早说？快盘膝坐下。”卓一航解了上衣，调好呼吸，眼观鼻，鼻观心，有如老僧入定。何绿华替他推揉穴道，助他发散，过了一会儿只见卓一航满身热气腾腾，睁眼说道：“行了，只是热得难受。”何绿华拉开帐篷一角，让冷风吹进，道：“歇会儿你再穿上衣服。” 这时卓一航运功已毕，热得直喘气。何绿华心想：不如逗他说话，让他分心，那就没有这样热了。于是问道：“你和玉罗刹很要好吗？”卓一航“唔”了一声，似答非答。何绿华故意逗他道：“我不信，你们怎会好得起来？”卓一航微微一笑，心道：男女之情，奇妙无比，你还是个黄毛小丫头，如何懂得？何绿华续道：“玉罗刹喜欢打架，是吗？”卓一航点了点头，道：“若不是她欢喜找人比试，也不致惹出这么多麻烦了。”何绿华又道：“你不欢喜打架，是吗？”卓一航又点了点头。 何绿华格格笑道：“可不是吗？你们两人性子根本不同。她是有名的'魔女'，你却像个文雅的书生。怪不得她和你闹翻，本就合不起来嘛！” 卓一航怔了一怔，这话也说得有几分道理。又怕她口没遮拦，被玉罗刹暗中听见，心中一烦，热气更冒。急道：“不要再提玉罗刹了，好吗？”何绿华微微一笑，道：“那么我拉胡琴唱给你听，我爹爹心烦的时候，也是喜欢听我唱歌的。” 卓一航心想：只要你不胡言乱语，唱什么都好。便点了点头。何绿华拿出哈萨克人送她的那把胡琴缠问卓一航喜听什么。卓一航道：“你就唱一支欢快的江南小调吧。” 何绿华理好琴弦，边拉边唱道：
