Chapter 8 The eighth round

Wang Chu's footsteps were so fast, he arrived outside the city in a short time, and after a few miles, he arrived behind a mountain peak.He couldn't stop speeding up his pace, intending to test Guo Jing's martial arts, and then he ran faster and faster.Guo Jing learned breathing kung fu from Ma Yu, son of Danyang, and he fell off the rock every night for two years. At this time, he ran for a while, even after the fight, he was still able to hold on.The gust of wind and snowflakes rushed towards him, Wang Chuyi ran towards a hill, the slope was covered with snow, his feet were slippery, and then he went up the steep slope suddenly, but Guo Jing practiced well, his face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't turn red. Zeng jumped, followed Wang Chuyi and ran up the hill, like walking on flat ground.

Wang Chu let go of his arm, slightly surprised, said: "Your foundation is not bad, why can't you beat him?" Guo Jing didn't know how to answer, but just smiled blankly.Wang Chuyi said, "Who is your master?" Guo Jing was ordered to pretend to be Yin Zhiping to deceive Mei Chaofeng on the top of the cliff that day. He knew that one of Ma Yu's juniors was Wang Chuyi, so he didn't hide anything from him. up.Wang Chu said happily: "Master brother taught you kung fu, it's great! Then what worries do I have?" Guo Jingyuan opened his eyes wide and stared at him blankly, puzzled.

Wang Chuyi said: "The little prince Wanyankang who is fighting with you is a disciple of my senior brother Changchunzi Qiu Chuji, do you know that?" Guo Jing was stunned and wondered: "Really? I don't know at all." It turned out that although Ma Yu, son of Danyang, had taught him some foundations of internal energy and the "Golden Goose Kungfu" for climbing and falling off cliffs, he had never taught him fists, feet and weapons. Hearing Wang Chuyi's words, he recalled that night when he fought against the little Taoist Yin Zhiping, his moves seemed to be exactly the same as this Wanyan Kang's, he couldn't help feeling terrified, bowed his head and said: "I don't know that the little prince turned out to be Taoist Qiu Under the door, you are rude and offensive, please forgive me, the Taoist chief."

Wang Chuyi laughed, and said: "You are chivalrous, I like you so much, how can I blame you?" Then he said seriously: "My Quanzhen sect has very strict rules. If a disciple does something wrong, he can only be punished more severely, and he will never be punished." Favoritism. This person acted recklessly and recklessly, I will punish him with brother Qiu." Guo Jing said: "If he is willing to marry that Miss Mu, the Taoist priest will forgive him." Wang Chuyi shook his head and remained silent, seeing that he had a kind heart and treated others with forgiveness, he liked it even more, and thought: "Brother Qiu has always been jealous of evil, especially the golden man, how could he accept a son of the golden king as his disciple? The martial arts that Wanyankang has learned in this school are not superficial. It is obvious that Senior Brother Qiu has spent a lot of time and effort on him, and this person has other weird techniques in his martial arts, so he must have another teacher. That’s even more unpredictable.” To Guo Jing, he said, “Brother Qiu made an appointment with me in Yanjing, and I’ll be here in a few days, so I’ll ask you about everything when we meet. I heard that he took a surname. Yang's disciple said that he would go to Jiaxing to compete with you, but I don't know how well that surnamed Yang is. But don't worry, with me here, I will definitely not let you suffer."

Guo Jing was ordered by his six masters to arrive at Jiaxing Mansion on Liangzhe West Road before noon on the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. As for what he was going to do, the six masters never explained to him, so they asked, "Master Daoist, what is the comparison?" Wu?" Wang Chuyi said, "Since your six masters haven't said it clearly, I can't explain it for you." He once heard Qiu Chuji talk about the whole story, and he respected the righteous deeds of the six monsters in the south of the Yangtze River.He and Ma Yu have the same thoughts, and also hope that the Jiangnan Six Monsters will win, but he is a junior, so it is inconvenient to persuade Senior Qiu to give in. Today, seeing Guo Jing's personality, he secretly thought about how to help him, but he couldn't discourage Senior Qiu. Because of my brother's reputation, I decided to rush to Jiaxing at that time, act according to the camera, and mediate from it.

Wang Chu said, "Let's take a look at Mu Yi's father and daughter. That girl has a strong temper, don't kill anyone." Guo Jing was startled.The two of them came to the Gaosheng Inn on Xicheng Street. Walking to the door of the inn, I saw more than a dozen brocade-clothed personal attendants walking out of the inn, bowed and saluted, and said to the king: "I am ordered by the young master to invite the Taoist priest and Master Guo to have a banquet in the mansion." He presented a red card with the words "disciple Wan Yankang respectfully kowtows" written on it, and the one presented to Guo Jing claimed to be "serving disciple".Wang Chuyi took the name card, nodded and said, "I'll be here later."

The headed relative said: "These snacks and fruits, the young master asked the Taoist priest and Mr. Guo to use them. Where do you two live, the younger one will send them here." The rest of the relatives put the fruit boxes on them and opened them. Looking at the lid of the box, there are twelve boxes filled with all kinds of small fresh fruits, which look very delicate.Guo Jing thought to himself: "Brother Huang Rong likes delicate snacks, I will save some for him." Wang Chuyi didn't like Wan Yankang as a person, he was about to wave his hand and order them to take it back, but seeing that Guo Jing liked it very much, he thought: "Young man Greedy, no wonder!" Smiling slightly, he ordered the fruit box to be left on the cabinet.

Wang Chuyi asked about the shop where Mu Yi lived, walked in, and saw Mu Yi lying on the bed with a face as white as paper, and his daughter sitting on the edge of the bed, weeping uncontrollably. The two saw Wang Chuyi and Guo Jing enter Come, and called out at the same time, it was quite unexpected.The girl immediately stood up.Mu Yi also sat up on the bed. When Wang Chu looked at the scars on Mu Yi's hands, he saw five finger holes on the back of each hand, with bones visible deep, as if wounded by a weapon. It was rotten, and he didn't dare to bandage it, and he was very puzzled: "I don't know who taught Wanyan Kang's vicious and vicious technique. It hurts people so badly. It is not the result of a day and night. How could Senior Brother Qiu not know? Know it? After that, how could you ignore it?" Turning around, she asked the girl, "Girl, what's your name?" The girl whispered, "My name is Mu Nianci." She glanced at Guo Jing, her eyes full of gratitude Meaning, then lowered his head.In the blink of an eye, Guo Jing saw the flagpole of the pennant leaning against the foot of the bed, and the pennant embroidered with the words "Contest for Marriage" had been cut to pieces.

Wang Chuyi said: "Your Honor's injury is not serious, it needs to be taken care of." Seeing that the father and daughter were short of luggage, they knew that they were in dire straits, fearing that the medical treatment for the injury would cost a lot, so they immediately took out two ingots of silver from their bosom, Put it on the table and said: "I'll come to see you tomorrow." Without waiting for Mu Yi and Mu Nianci to thank each other, he pulled Guo Jing out of the inn. Seeing four brocade-clothed attendants coming up to welcome them again, they said: "Young master is sincerely waiting for you in the mansion, please Daoist and Guoye come over here." Wang Chu nodded his head.Guo Jing said: "Master Daoist, wait for me for a while." He ran into the shop, opened the lid of the fruit box Wan Yankang sent, picked four pieces of snacks, wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in his pocket, and ran again He went out, followed by four personal followers, and went to the palace with Wang Chu.

Arriving in front of the mansion, Guo Jing saw flagpoles towering left and right in front of the vermilion gate, two majestic and ferocious jade lions sat cross-legged beside the gate, and a row of white jade steps led directly to the front hall, which was extremely majestic.In the middle of the gate, there are three gold characters "Zhao Wang's Mansion". Guo Jing knew that King Zhao was Wanyan Honglie, the sixth prince of the Great Jin Kingdom, and couldn't help being shocked: "So the little prince is Wanyan Honglie's son? Wanyan Honglie knows me. It would be terrible to meet here."

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard the sound of drums and music. The young prince Wanyankang, wearing a golden crown with hair tied on his head, a red robe, and a gold belt around his waist, rushed out to meet him, but his face was blue and his nose was swollen. Mark of.Guo Jing's left eye was also highly swollen, a large piece was damaged at the corner of his mouth, and his forehead and right cheek were covered with bruises.Both felt embarrassed, and couldn't help but smile at each other. When Wang Chu saw his rich attire, he frowned slightly and followed him into the hall without saying a word.Wan Yankang asked Wang Chuyi to sit at the head, and said: "It's a blessing for the Taoist priest and Brother Guo to come down." When Wang Chu saw that he neither knelt down to prostrate nor call him uncle, he was even more angry, and asked: "How many years have you learned martial arts from your master?" Wan Yankang said with a smile: "What martial arts does this junior know?" I have only practiced with Master for a few years, and the three-legged cat thing is really a joke for Daoist Master and Brother Guo." Wang Chuyi snorted, and said: "Although the Quanzhen School's kung fu is not high, it is not a three-legged cat. You Master will be here within a few days, do you know?" Wanyankang smiled and said: "My master is here, does the Taoist priest want to see him?" Wang Chu was surprised and hurriedly asked: "Where is it?" Wanyankang did not answer his question, and lightly tapped his palm twice Next, he said to his relatives: "Set up a banquet!" All the relatives shouted out.Wan Yankang accompanied Wang and Guo to the flower hall. All the way through the corridor, around the painting building, walked a long way.Guo Jing had never seen such a luxurious palace, his eyes were dazzled, he always remembered that when he saw Wanyan Honglie, he didn't know how to deal with it, and thought: "The Great Khan ordered me to assassinate Wanyan Honglie, but his son He is the nephew of Daoist Ma and Daoist Wang, should I kill his father?" Thinking about this, he was unsure. When I came to the flower hall, I saw six or seven people waiting in the hall.One of them had three tumors on his forehead, and it was the three-headed Jiaohou Tonghai, with his hands on his hips, staring angrily.Guo Jing was taken aback, but he thought he wouldn't dare to do anything to him with Daoist Wang by his side, but after all he was a little scared, so he turned his head, not daring to meet his gaze, remembering how he was chasing Huang Rong, and again Secretly funny. Wan Yankang was full of joy, and said to Wang Chu: "Master, these few admire your reputation for a long time, and want to see you." He pointed at Peng Lianhu and said: "Master Peng, the two of you have already met. "The two bowed to each other. Wan Yankang stretched out his hand to a red-faced and white-haired old man, and said: "This is Changbai Mountain Ginseng Liang Ziweng, Senior Liang." Liang Ziweng cupped his hands and said: "I must be able to meet the real iron-footed Immortal King. Guan can be said to have made a worthwhile trip. This is the Mahamudra Lingzhi master of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. One of us is from the northeast and the other is from the southwest. We are far away from each other. It can be said that we have a predestined relationship in previous lives." Liang Ziweng was very talkative .Wang Chu always bowed to the spiritual master, and the Tibetan monk answered with clasped hands. Suddenly a person said in a hoarse voice: "It turns out that the Seven Devils of the South of the Yangtze River have the backing of the Quanzhen Sect, so they dare to act so recklessly." As soon as Wang Chu turned his head to look at the man, he saw that he had a shiny bald head with no hair on the top, his eyes were covered with red silk, and his eyeballs were protruding. Seeing this strange appearance, he thought suddenly in his heart, and said: " Is Your Excellency the old man of Guimen Dragon King Sha?" The man said angrily: "Exactly, so you still know me." Wang Chu thought to himself: "Our river water doesn't offend the well water, so I don't know how to offend him?" He replied gently at the moment Said: "Poverty Dao has always admired Senior Sha's great name." The ghost dragon king's name is Sha Tongtian, his martial arts are much higher than that of his younger brother Hou Tonghai, because he has a violent temper, he loses his temper at every turn when teaching martial arts, so the four disciples who are all proficient in martial arts can't learn two or three out of ten.The four ghosts of the Yellow River did not gain the slightest advantage over Guo Jing in the Mongolian battle, and they lost face in front of Zhao Wang Wanyan Honglie, and Zhao Wang no longer valued the four of them any more.Sha Tongtian was furious when he heard the news, he punched and kicked the four of them severely, the four ghosts of the Yellow River almost all deserved their name.Sha Tongtian then ordered his younger brother Hou Tonghai to capture Guo Jing, but was humiliated by Huang Rong's teasing again and again.The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he didn't care about being rude among the crowd, so he suddenly reached out and grabbed Guo Jing. Guo Jing quickly retreated two steps, Wang Chu raised his robe sleeves and stood in front of him. Sha Tongtian said angrily: "Okay, are you really protecting this little bastard?" With a slap, he slammed towards Wang Chu's chest.As soon as Wang Chu saw that he was approaching ferociously, he could only press his palms together, there was a light slap, his palms intersected, and he was about to use his internal force to push out, suddenly a person turned around, his left hand pressed Sha Tongtian's wrist, and his right hand pressed Wang Chuyi The wrists collapsed outwards, and both of them felt a shock in their palms, and immediately withdrew their hands.Both Wang Chuyi and Sha Tongtian are well-known figures in the martial arts world, they knew each other's skills, at this time, one palm and the other returned the palm, both of them have already channeled their internal strength, who would have thought that someone could suddenly strike and shake the two of them away palm.I saw that man was dressed in white, with a light fur and a gentle belt, and his demeanor was very unrestrained. It seemed that he was thirty-five or six years old, his eyes were swaying, his face was handsome, but he was heroic, and he was dressed like a wealthy prince. . Wan Yankang said with a smile: "This is Mr. Ouyang, the young master of White Camel Mountain in Kunlun, Western Region, and his name is one word. Mr. Ouyang has never been to the Central Plains. Is this the first time you have met?" The sudden appearance of this person is not only unprecedented for Wang Chuyi and Guo Jing, but also for Peng Lianhu and Liang Ziweng who are also strangers to each other.Everyone secretly admired him when he showed his skills, but no one had heard of the name of White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions. Ouyang Ke cupped his hands and said: "Brother should have come to Yanjing a few days earlier, but because of a small incident encountered on the way, it was delayed for a few days, so I was late. Please forgive me." After Guo Jing heard Yan Kang say that he was Bai The young master of Camel Mountain had long thought of the women in white clothes who were going to snatch his horse on the road. Hearing his words, his heart trembled: "Could it be that my six masters have fought against him? I don't know if the six masters are injured or not." ?” Wang Chuyi saw that each opponent's martial arts were very good, this Ouyang Ke's attack just now, his internal strength and his own are on par, but his strength is quite weird, if he froze his hands, he might not be able to win one-on-one, If the opponent has several people at the same time, how can he be against him?Immediately asked Wanyan Kang, "Where's your master? Why didn't you invite him out?" Wan Yankang said: "Yes!" Turning to his entourage, he said, "Master, please come out to meet the guests!" The entourage agreed to go.Wang Chu felt relieved and thought: "With senior brother Qiu here, no matter how many powerful enemies there are, the three of us can at least protect ourselves." Not long after, there was only the sound of boots, and a fat military officer in brocade clothes came in from the hall door, with a thick beard on his chin, in his forties, he looked quite mighty.Wan Yankang stepped forward and called "Master", and said: "This Taoist priest really wants to see you, old man, and has already asked him several times." Wang Chu was furious, and said in his heart: "My boy, how dare you entertain yourself like this? Me?" He thought again: "Look at the way this military officer walks, he doesn't have any great kung fu, that kid's weird martial arts must not be taught by him." The military officer said: "Taoist, what do you want to see me for, I have always been I don’t like to see monks or nuns.” Wang Chu laughed back angrily, and said, “I want to beg for alms, and I want to get one thousand taels of silver.” That military officer's name is Tang Zude, he is a captain of Zhao Wang Wanyan Honglie's personal army, when Wanyan Kang was young, he taught him martial arts, so everyone in Zhao Wang's mansion called him Master, at this moment Wang Chuyi opened his mouth loudly, Yihua is one thousand taels of silver, startled, and reprimanded: "Nonsense!" Wan Yankang said: "One thousand taels of silver, small meaning, small meaning." Xiangqin said: "Hurry up and prepare one thousand taels of silver I will send it to the Taoist master later." Tang Zude opened his mouth wide and couldn't close his mouth when he heard this, he looked at Wang Chuyi from head to toe, and then from foot to head, unable to figure out who this Taoist priest was. Wan Yankang said: "Everyone, please take a seat. Daoist Wang has just arrived, please take the seat of chief." Wang Chuyi couldn't give in, and finally took the seat of chief.After drinking for three rounds, Wang Chu said together: "You are all famous figures in the martial arts, please be fair, what should we do about the father and daughter surnamed Mu?" Yan Kang's face, let's see how he answers. Wan Yankang poured a glass of wine, stood up, offered both hands to Wang Chuyi, and said: "Juniors first pay respects to the Taoist priest, and I will follow what the Taoist priest tells me to do." Wang Chuyi was stunned, Unexpectedly, he agreed so readily, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, and said: "Okay! Let's invite the man surnamed Mu, and let's talk here." Wan Yankang said: "That's exactly what it should be. Please, brother Guo. , How about inviting that Mu Ye over?" Wang Chu nodded. Guo Jing immediately left the banquet, left the palace, and came to the Gaosheng Inn.Walking into Mu Yi's shop, the father and daughter were nowhere to be seen, even their bags and clothes had been taken away.When I asked the store clerk, he said that someone came to pick up their father and daughter just now, and the room and food bills have been settled, so they will not come back.Guo Jing hurriedly asked who picked them up, but the shop assistant couldn't explain why. Guo Jing hurried back to Zhao Wangfu.Wan Yankang greeted him from the table, and said with a smile: "Brother Guo, you have worked hard, where is Master Mu?" Guo Jing said.Wan Yankang sighed: "Oh, that's because I'm sorry for them." Turning his head to his entourage, he said, "Hurry up and bring more people, look around, and be sure to ask that Mu Ye to come." The entourage agreed to go. up. This time there was an incident and there was no proof, Wang Chuyi didn't want to say anything more, but he was very puzzled and thought: "To invite that surnamed Mu, you only need to send one or two relatives, but this kid If Guo Jing is asked to go, obviously he wants him to see with his own eyes that the Mu family's father and daughter are no longer there, so as to be a witness." He sneered and said, "No matter who plays any mystery, there will always be a day when the truth will come to light." Wan Yankang said with a smile: "Tao Long story short. I don’t know what kind of mystery that Lord Mu is making, it’s really weird.” When Tang Zude saw that the young prince cheated the Taoist priest out of a thousand taels of silver, he had already felt angry and heartbroken. Now seeing the Taoist priest's serious expression, he was so rude to the young prince, and he was even more angry. He said: "Which Taoist temple do you belong to? Why do you come here to play the autumn wind?" Wang Chuyi said, "Which country are you general from? What makes you come here to be an official?" He saw that Tang Zude was a Han Chinese, but he was a military officer in the Kingdom of Jin, oppressing his compatriots, so he couldn't help but sneer. The thing Tang Zude hated most in his life was when others mentioned that he was a Han Chinese.He is self-aware that he is skilled in martial arts, and he is devoted and loyal to the Jin Dynasty, but the Jin Dynasty has never allowed him to lead troops, nor to be a high-ranking official. He took a job in Zhao Wang's mansion.Wang Chuyi's words touched his sore spot, his complexion changed immediately, he roared like a tiger, stood up, separated Liang Ziweng and Ouyang Ke, punched Wang Chuyi hard on the face. Wang Chu saw the fist hit at a glance, stretched out two index fingers with his right hand, clamped his wrist, and said with a smile: "It's fine if you don't want to say it, why bother to be rough?" Tang Zude's fist stopped in the air immediately, I tried several times, but I still couldn't get half an inch.He was startled and angry, and cursed: "What a demon, you use demon magic!" He tried hard to pull back, but he couldn't retract, his face was swollen, and he was extremely embarrassed.Liang Ziweng sat beside him, said with a smile: "Don't be angry, general, let's sit down and drink!" He stretched out his hand to press his right shoulder. Wang Chuyi knew that with the strength of his two fingers, it was more than enough to clamp Tang Zude's wrist, but it was not enough to resist Liang Ziweng's push, so he immediately let go of his fingers, and pressed down on Tang Zude's left shoulder. Before he could withdraw his hands, two forces pressed on Tang Zude's shoulders at the same time.Tang Zude was really a good ancestor, and his reputation was well-deserved. There were two masters attacking him at the same time. His face was big but not small. Immersed in a bowl of hot and sour soup, there was a bang, the two bowls shattered, the fish bones were pierced with porcelain pieces, and the hot soup and blood flowed together.Tang Zude yelled, waving his hands wildly, splashing greasy and dripping soup.Everyone laughed and hurriedly dodged.Tang Zude was so ashamed and angry that he rushed in.All the servants held back their smiles and came forward to tidy up, it took a long time to finish. Sha Tongtian said: "The Quanzhen faction's reputation is well-deserved. I want to ask the Taoist priest about one thing." Wang Chu said, "Don't dare, old man Sha, please tell me." Sha Tongtian said: "The Yellow River Gang and Quanzhen The True Sect has never violated each other, why does the Daoist give all his support to the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, and come to make things difficult for the brothers? Although the Quanzhen Sect has a large number of people, the brothers are not afraid." Wang Chuyi said: "Senior Sha has misunderstood this. Although Pindao knows the names of the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River, he doesn't know any of them. One of my senior brothers even formed a little xiaoliang with them. Said To help the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River come to make trouble with the Yellow River Gang, that is definitely not a thing." Sha Tongtian said strangely: "Very good, then you leave this kid to me." Leaving his seat, he stretched out his hand and Grab it towards Guo Jing's neck. Wang Chuyi knew that Guo Jing couldn't dodge the grab, he would be injured, so he stretched out his hand and pushed Guo Jing's shoulder lightly, Guo Jing jumped out of the chair involuntarily.With a click, Sha Tongtian's five fingers dropped, and the back of the chair broke.This grasping cracks like rotten wood, it is indeed a rare and fierce kung fu in martial arts. When Sha Tongtian failed to catch him, he shouted sharply: "Are you protecting this kid?" Wang Chu said, "This kid was brought into the palace by a poor Taoist, so I have to take him out properly. Brother Sha can't let him go, but in the future How about finding him bad luck again?" Ouyang Ke said: "How did this young man offend Brother Sha, what do you think of it?" Sha Tongtian pondered: "This Taoist's martial arts are by no means inferior to mine. With the strength of our two brothers, we can't think about keeping that little beast. Brother Peng Xian will help me, but this Ouyang Ke's martial arts is very good. I don't know why. If If you join hands with this bull-nosed man, things will be difficult to handle." Immediately he said: "I have four disciples who are not good enough, and I followed Lord Zhao to Mongolia to do a big event. Prince Zhao is extremely annoyed that he broke out from the wall. Think about it, we can't even do anything to such a kid. Did Prince Zhao invite us here just to drink and eat?" Although he has a violent temper, he is not a reckless and brave man. With such words, Guo Jing immediately became the target of public criticism.Except for Wang Chuyi and Guo Jing, everyone at the banquet was hired by King Zhao Houli, and Wan Yankang is the eldest son of King Zhao. Hearing Sha Tongtian's words, they were all shocked, and they all decided to put Guo Jing intercepted it and handed it to King Zhao for punishment. Wang Chuyi was secretly anxious, thinking of ways to escape, but surrounded by this powerful enemy, he was at a loss what to do.Originally he thought that Wanyan Kang was his nephew, even though he was a prince of great gold, he never dared to do anything to him, but he never expected that not only did he have no respect for elders and uncles, but also he had many masters under his command in the mansion, If I knew this earlier, I couldn't rush into the tiger's den to come to the banquet.Even if they wanted to investigate, they shouldn't have brought a young man like Guo Jing with them.I want to get away and leave, but I understand that everyone will not be able to stay, but it is not easy to rescue Guo Jing at the same time, the expression is still very calm at the moment, thinking: "Right now, you can't break your face immediately, you have to delay time to find out everyone's identity. False and true." Said: "Everyone's reputation is far away, and the poor Taoist has always admired him very much. I am very happy to meet Gao Xian today." Pointing to Guo Jing, he said: "This young man does not know the heights of heaven and earth, and offended King Shalong, everyone. Since we want to keep him, Pindao is alone and weak, even though we know it is impossible, but it is hard to go against everyone's will. It's just that Pindao boldly asks everyone to show their efforts, so that this young man knows that it's not that Pindao is unwilling to contribute, it's true There's nothing I can do to help." The three-headed jiaohou Tonghai had been bored for half a day, so he immediately left his seat, straightened his long clothes, and shouted: "I'll ask you for your brilliant moves first." I hope that Brother Hou will show off his unique skills and open the eyes of Pindao, so that he can teach this young man a lesson, teach him that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people in the world, so that he will not dare to act arrogantly in the future." Hou Tonghai seemed to have thorns in his words, As for the thorn in it, I don't understand it in my heart, so I don't know how to answer it. Sha Tongtian thought to himself: "The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen sect are difficult to provoke, so it's better not to fight with him." He said to Hou Tonghai: "Brother, then you can practice the kung fu of 'burying people in the snow', please teach Wang Zhenren." Wang Chu kept saying he didn't dare. At this moment, the snow didn't stop, Hou Tonghai rushed to the courtyard, sweeping and scraping with both arms, he piled up a snow grave about three feet high, kicked it firmly with his feet, took three steps back, jumped up suddenly, head down his feet With a plop, it was inserted upside down into the snow grave, and the white snow did not reach his chest.Guo Jing couldn't figure it out, he didn't know what kind of kung fu it was, but he was stuck upside down in the snow and didn't move. Sha Tongtian said to Wanyankang's followers: "I'm sorry, all the housekeepers, beat the snow around Lord Hou." All the followers thought it was very interesting, and they stomped the snow around Hou Tonghai's chest with a smile .It turned out that Sha Tongtian and Hou Tonghai dominated the Yellow River, and their water skills were extremely good.Familiarity with water means diving underwater without taking a breath, so Hou Tonghai buried his head in the snow and soil, held his breath, and came out after a meal. This is what he used to practice on a daily basis.Everyone drank and praised. After a long time, Hou Tonghai put his hands together, and a "carp straightened up", pulled his head out of the snow, turned over and stood upright. Guo Jing was young at heart, so he clapped his hands first.Hou Tonghai returned to his seat to drink, but gave him a hard look.Guo Jing saw white snow on all three of his sarcoid tumors, so he couldn't help reminding him: "Mr. Hou, there is snow on your head." Hou Tonghai said angrily, "I'm nicknamed Santoujiao, but I'm not Xingsan. What are you doing?" Call me Third Master Hou? I happen to be Fourth Master Hou, can you control me? There is snow on my head, don’t you know? I was going to wipe it off, but after you told me, you boy, you didn’t wipe it off.” The hall was warm, The snow melted into water and flowed down his forehead in three lines. His Fourth Master Hou spoke like a mountain. Sha Tongtian said: "My junior brother's kung fu is very rude, it's ridiculous." He reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate, flicked his middle finger repeatedly, the melon seeds shot out like a line.The melon seeds were embedded on the snowdrift that Hou Tonghai had piled up, and in a short while, a shorthand "yellow" was embedded in the snowdrift.The snowdrift was always three zhang away from his seat, and when he popped out the melon seeds, he was able to embed them neatly into a word. The accuracy of his eyesight and hand strength was really astonishing.Wang Chu thought with all his heart: "No wonder the Dragon King of Guimen dominates the Yellow River, and he really has a great talent." In the blink of an eye, the word "he" and the word "nine" appeared on the snowdrift. It seemed that he was going to mark it as "" "Nine Songs of the Yellow River" is four words. Peng Lianhu said with a smile: "Brother Sha, I am so impressed by your magical skills. We have always been in business together, and this Wang Daoist wants to test us, so as a brother, he will show his face with the help of big brother's magical skills." Let it go." With a shake of his body, he has already jumped to the entrance of the hall.At this time, Sha Tongtian had already typed half of the last word "qu", Peng Lianhu suddenly stretched out his hands, stretched left and retracted right, stretched right and retracted left, and cut off the melon seeds that Sha Tongtian popped out of the air one by one.The melon seeds are extremely small and go quickly, but he didn't miss a single one.One was delivered quickly, and the other was received quickly, like flowing water, a plate of melon seeds would be transferred into Peng Lianhu's hands. Amid the applause from the crowd, Peng Lianhu jumped back to his seat with a smile, and Sha Tong was the genius who composed the half of the song.If it were someone else, Peng Lianhu's action would obviously hurt his prestige, but the two of them have a deep friendship, Sha Tongtian only smiled slightly, not surprised, and turned to Ouyang Ke and said: "Mr. An eye-opener for those who have experienced the world." Ouyang Ke heard the sarcasm in his words, he knew that the man who shook his palm earlier had a lot of grievances in his heart, he wanted to show some skill, so that the bald man would admire me, when he saw the waiter was bringing four bowls of desserts, Put a new pair of chopsticks in front of everyone, and collect the chopsticks that have eaten salty food.Ouyang Ke took the chopsticks and threw them away, twenty chopsticks flew out at the same time, inserted into the snow, neatly arranged into four plum blossom shapes.Throwing the chopsticks into the snow is something that children can do, so it is not difficult at all, but throwing out twenty chopsticks in one hand and forming such a neat pattern is extremely difficult.Guo Jing and Wan Yankang didn't quite understand the profound power of this move, but Wang Chuyi, Sha Tongtian and others were secretly amazed and applauded in unison. Wang Chu saw at a glance that everyone was talented and thought hard about how to escape, he suddenly thought: "It's not easy for these masters in the martial arts to meet one person, why are they all gathered here suddenly? Like the young master of White Camel Mountain, Lingzhi The Venerable Master, Shen Xian and the old monster rarely set foot in the Central Plains, why did they all come to Yanjing? There must be a major conspiracy in the middle." I saw Liang Ziweng, the old monster of Shenxian, stood up with a smile, bowed his hands to everyone, walked slowly into the courtyard, jumped up suddenly, stuck out his left foot, and landed on Ouyang Ke's chopsticks stuck in the snow, pulled Put on airs, "Hold the moon in your arms", "Erlang carrying the mountain", "Pull the bow", "Take off your boots and turn around", and use the "Yanqing Fist" that is skillful and continuous all the way, jumping vertically like flying, every step All fell on the vertical chopsticks.I saw him "concession to step over the tiger", "retreat to close the momentum", and after finishing the "Yanqing fist" all the way, the twenty chopsticks were still standing neatly on the snow, and none of them were bent sideways.Liang Ziweng kept smiling and jumped back to the table.The hall was full of colorful sounds.Guo Jing couldn't help being amazed. At this time the banquet was about to end, and all the servants filled the gold basins with warm water to wash their hands, Wang Chu thought to himself: "Now we only need to wait for the master of spiritual wisdom to show his martial arts, and then these people will attack together." When I squinted at the Tibetan monk, I saw that he dipped his hands in the golden basin as if nothing had happened, and ignored him.Everyone had already washed their hands, but his hands were still soaked in the basin. Everyone felt a little strange seeing him thinking slowly.After a while, wisps of water vapor suddenly rose from his golden basin.After a while, the water vapor in the basin became more and more prosperous.For a moment, there was a slight sound in the basin, and small blisters came up from the bottom of the basin one by one. Wang Chuyi was secretly startled: "This Tibetan monk's inner strength is very good! It's not too late, I must preemptively strike." Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the golden basin that Master Lingzhi put in his hands, he thought: "The opportunity is now. It's fleeting, I just have to catch them by surprise, and strike first." Suddenly, he leaned slightly, his left hand passed over the two of them, and grabbed the pulse gate on Wanyan Kang's wrist, lifted him up, and then grabbed him The hole on the vest.Sha Tongtian and the others were shocked and at a loss for what to do. Wang Chuyi raised the jug with his right hand, and said: "It is really a predestined meeting with all the heroes today. The poor Taoist borrowed flowers to present Buddha, and I respect each of you." He raised the jug with his right hand and poured wine for each of them.I saw a wine arrow shooting out from the mouth of the jug, and it fell into each person's wine glass one by one. No matter how far or near the person was, this wine arrow always fell into the glass exactly.Some people's wine glass is empty, and some have half a glass left, but they all pour it just right, more or less, a wine arrow falls from the sky, and after falling into the glass, it happens to be full. No drop spilled, and none fell out of the cup. Venerable Lingzhi and others saw that he showed his profound internal strength while pouring wine. Since he was able to pour wine like this with his right hand, his left hand rested on Wanyan Kang's back. I am outnumbered, but everyone is afraid to make a move. Wang Chuyi finally filled the wine for himself and Guo Jing, raised his glass and drank it dry, and said calmly: "Poverty Dao has no grievances or enmity with you, and this little brother surnamed Guo is neither related nor related, but seeing him quite He has a chivalrous heart and is a young man with a backbone, so I would like to ask everyone to let him go." Everyone was silent.Wang Chuyi said: "If everyone is willing to be tolerant, the poor will let the little prince, a young prince with golden branches and jade leaves, change to ordinary people, and you will never suffer. How about it?" It’s very refreshing, and this business is done like this.” Without hesitation, Wang Chuyi released his left hand, and Wanyan Kangdeng was free.Wang Chuyi knew that these people were all well-known figures in the martial arts. Although they were vicious and vicious, and they did things in private without regard for faith, they were determined not to renege on their promises and become fat in front of others. Guo Jing's hand and said: "Let's take my leave, we will meet later." Everyone saw that a fish caught in the net slipped out, they all secretly cried out what a pity, and they all felt dull. Wan Yankang calmed down, and said with a smile: "The Taoist priest is free, please come and talk at any time, so that the younger generation can learn from it." He stood up and sent it out respectfully.Wang Chuyi snorted and said: "Our business is over, we will meet again someday!" Walking to the entrance of the flower hall, Master Lingzhi suddenly said: "The Taoist master's kung fu is so profound that it is extremely admirable." He clasped his hands together and gave a salute, then suddenly raised his palms, and a gust of wind rushed out.When Wang Chu raised his hand to return the salute, he also had the power in his palm, and he had to use the internal strength he had practiced for decades to offset it.As soon as the two gusts of wind came into contact, Master Lingzhi changed his internal energy into external energy, and suddenly stretched out his right palm to grab Wang Chuyi's wrist.This move was extremely swift, but Wang Chu was also very nimble when he changed his moves. He hooked his wrist with his backhand, strong against strong, head-to-head.Master Lingzhi's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "I admire, admire!" Then he jumped back. Wang Chuyi smiled and said: "The master is famous all over the world, how can you say that it doesn't count?" Master Lingzhi said angrily: "I'm not keeping this kid surnamed Guo, I want to keep you..." He was Wang Chuyi Shocked by the palm force, he was already injured, if he calmed down and breathed evenly, he would not have an attack for a while, but he was provoked by Wang Chuyi's words, his anger surged up, and before he could finish his sentence, a big mouthful of blood spewed out. Wang Chuyi didn't dare to stay, took Guo Jing's hand, and hurried out of the house. Sha Tongtian, Peng Lianhu and the others first had something to say, and they refused to keep their word, and then saw that Master Lingzhi suffered a big loss, they all felt awe-inspiring, and they no longer stepped forward to stop him. Wang Chu walked out of Zhao Wang's mansion for more than ten zhang quickly, turned a corner, saw no one was chasing after him, and said in a low voice, "You carry me to the inn." Guo Jing heard his voice was weak and weak. , was surprised, saw that his face was pale and sickly, very different from the radiant state just now, he hurriedly said: "Taoist, are you injured?" Wang Chu nodded, staggered, and couldn't stand upright .Guo Jing hurriedly squatted down, carried him on his back, walked quickly, and walked to the door of a big inn, just about to enter.王处一低声道：“找……找最僻静……地方的小……小店。”郭靖会意，明白是生恐对头找来，他身受重伤，自己本领低微，只要给人寻到，那只有束手待毙的份儿，于是低头急奔。 他不识道路，尽往人少屋陋的地方走去，果然越走越是偏僻，只感到背上王处一呼吸愈来愈弱，好容易找到一家小客店，眼见门口和店堂又小又脏，当下也顾不得这许多，闯进店房，将他放在炕上。王处一道：“快……快……找一只大缸……盛满……满清水……”郭靖道：“还要甚么？”王处一不再说话，挥手催他快去。 郭靖忙出房吩咐店伴，摸出一锭银子，放在柜上，又赏了店小二几钱银子。他来到中原数日，倒也已明白了赏人钱财的道理。那店小二欢天喜地，忙抬了一口大缸放在天井之中，把清水装得满满地。郭靖回报已经办妥。王处一道：“好……好孩子，你抱我放在缸里……不许……别人过来。”郭靖不解其意，依言将他抱入缸内，清水直浸到头颈，再命店小二拦阻闲人。 只见王处一闭目而坐，急呼缓吸，过了一顿饭工夫，一缸清水竟渐渐变成黑色，他脸色却也略复红润。王处一道：“扶我出来，换一缸清水。”郭靖依然换了水，又将他放入缸内。这时才知他是以内功逼出身上毒质，化在水里。这般连换了四缸清水，水中才无黑色。王处一笑道：“没事啦。”扶着缸沿，跨了出来，叹道：“这藏僧的功夫好毒！”郭靖放了心，甚是喜慰，问道：“那藏僧手掌上有毒么？”王处一道：“正是，毒沙掌的功夫我生平见过不少，但从没见过这么厉害的，今日几乎性命不保。”郭靖道：“幸好没事了。您要吃甚么东西，我叫人去买。” 王处一命他向柜上借了笔砚，开了一张药方，说道：“我性命已然无碍，但内脏毒气未净，十二个时辰之内如不除去，不免终身残废。” 郭靖接过药方，如飞而去，见横街上有一家药铺，忙将药方递到柜上。店伴接过方子一看，说道：“客官来得不巧，方子上血竭、田七、没药、熊胆四味药，小店刚巧没货。”郭靖不等他说第二句，抢过方子便走。哪知走到第二家药铺，仍是缺少这几味药，接连走了七八家，无不如此。郭靖又急又怒，在城中到处奔跑买药，连三开间门面、金字招牌的大药铺，也都说这些药本来存货不少，但刚才正巧给人尽数搜买了去。 郭靖这才恍然，定是赵王府中的人料到王处一中毒受伤后定要使用这些药物，竟把全城各处药铺中这几味主药都抄得干干净净，用心可实在歹毒。当下垂头丧气的回到客店，对王处一说了。王处一叹了一口气，脸色惨然。郭靖心中难过，伏在桌上放声大哭。 王处一笑道：“人人有生必有死，生固欣然，死亦天命，何况我也未见得会死呢，又何必哭泣？”轻轻击着床沿，纵声高歌：“知其雄兮守其雌，知其白兮守其黑，知荣守辱兮为道者损，损之又损兮乃至无极。”郭靖收泪看着他，怔怔的出神。王处一哈哈一笑，盘膝坐在床上，用起功来。 郭靖不敢惊动，悄悄走出客房，忽想：“我赶到附近市镇去，他们未必也把那里的药都买光了。”想到此法，心中甚喜，正要去打听附近市镇的远近道路，只见店小二匆匆进来，递了一封信给他，信封上写着“郭大爷亲启”五字。郭靖心中奇怪：“是谁给我的信？”忙撕开封皮，抽出一张白纸，见纸上写道：“我在城外向西十里的湖边等你，有要紧事对你说，快来。”下面画着一个小叫化的图像，笑嘻嘻的正是黄蓉，形貌甚是神似。 郭靖心想：“他怎知我在这里？”问道：“这信是谁送来的？”店小二道：“是街边的一个闲汉送来的。” 郭靖回进店房，见王处一站在地下活动手足，说道：“道长，我到附近市镇去买药。”王处一道：“我们既想到这一层，他们何尝想不到？不必去啦。” 郭靖不肯死心，决意一试，心想：“黄贤弟聪明伶俐，我先跟他商量商量。”说道：“我的好朋友约我见面，弟子去一下马上就回。”说着将信给王处一看了。 王处一沉吟了一下，问道：“这孩子你怎么认得的？”郭靖把旅途相逢的事说了。王处一道：“他戏弄侯通海的情状我都见到了，这人的身法好生古怪……”随即正色道：“你此去可要小心了。这孩子的武功远在你之上，身法之中却总是透着一股邪气，我也摸不准是甚么缘故。”郭靖道：“我和他是生死之交，他决不能害我。”王处一叹道：“你和他相识有多久，能说甚么生死之交？你莫瞧他人小，他要算计你时，你定然对付不了。” 郭靖心中对黄蓉绝无半分猜疑，心想：“道长这么说，必因是不知黄贤弟的为人。”当下满口夸说黄蓉的好处。王处一笑道：“你去吧。少年人无不如此，不经一事，不长一智。这人……瞧这人身形与说话声音，似乎不是……似乎是个……你难道当真看不出……”说到这里，不说下去了，只摇了摇头。
郭靖把药方揣在怀里，出了西门，放开脚步，向城外奔去。出得城来，飞雪愈大，雪花点点扑面，放眼只见白茫茫的一片，野外人踪绝迹，行了将近十里，前面水光闪动，正是一个小小湖泊。此时天气倒不甚寒，湖中并未结冰，雪花落在湖面，都融在水里，湖边一排排都是梅树，梅花再加上冰花雪蕊，更显皎洁。 郭靖四望不见人影，焦急起来：“莫非他等我不来，先回去了？”放声大叫：“黄贤弟，黄贤弟。”只听忽喇喇一声响，湖边飞起两只水鸟。郭靖好生失望，再叫了两声，又想：“或许他还未到达，我在这里等他便了。” 当下坐在湖边，既挂念黄蓉，又挂念王处一的伤势，也无心欣赏雪景，何况这大雪纷飞之象，他从小就在塞外见惯了的，至于黄沙大漠与平湖寒梅之间的不同，他也不放在心上。等了好一阵，忽听得西首树林中隐隐传来争吵之声，他好奇心起，快步过去，只听得一人粗声说道：“这当儿还摆甚么大师哥的架子？大家半斤八两，你还不是也在半空中荡秋千。”另一人道：“他妈的！刚才你若不是这么胆小，转身先逃，咱们四个打他一个，难道便会输了？”又一人道：“你逃得摔了一交，也不见得有甚么了不起。”听声音似乎是黄河四鬼。郭靖手按腰间软鞭，探头往林中张去，却空荡荡的不见人影。 忽听得声音从高处传来，有人说道：“明刀明枪的交战，咱们决不能输，谁料得到这小叫化诡计百出……”郭靖抬起头来，只见四个人吊在空中，摇摇摆摆，兀自指手划脚的争吵不休，却不是黄河四鬼是谁？他一见之下，心中大喜，料知黄蓉必在左近，笑吟吟的走过去，说道：“咦，你们又在这里练轻功！”钱青健怒道：“谁说是练轻功？你这浑小子不生眼睛，咱们是给人吊在这里的。”郭靖哈哈大笑。钱青健怒极，空中飞脚要去踢他，但相距远了，却哪里踢得着？马青雄骂道：“臭小子，你再不滚得远远的，老子撒尿淋你了！” 郭靖笑得弯了腰，说道：“我站在这里，你的尿淋我不着。”突然身后有人轻轻一笑，郭靖转过头去，水声响动，一叶扁舟从树丛中飘了出来。 只见船尾一个女子持桨荡舟，长发披肩，全身白衣，头发上束了条金带，白雪一映，更是灿然生光。郭靖见这少女一身装束犹如仙女一般，不禁看得呆了。那船慢慢荡近，只见那女子方当韶龄，不过十五六岁年纪，肌肤胜雪，娇美无比，容色绝丽，不可逼视。 郭靖只觉耀眼生花，不敢再看，转开了头，缓缓退开几步。 那少女把船摇到岸边，叫道：“郭哥哥，上船来吧！” 郭靖猛吃一惊，转过头来，只见那少女笑靥生春，衣襟在风中轻轻飘动。郭靖如痴似梦，双手揉了揉眼睛。 那少女笑道：“怎么？不认识我啦？”郭靖听她声音，依稀便是黄蓉模样，但一个肮脏褴褛的男叫化，怎么会忽然变成一个仙女，真是不能相信自己的眼睛。只听得背后黄河四鬼纷纷叫嚷：“小姑娘，快来割断我们身上绳索，放我们下来！”“你来帮个忙，我给你一百两银子！”“每人一百两，一共四百两！”“你要八百两也行。” 那少女对他们浑不理睬，笑道：“我是你的黄贤弟啊，你不睬我了吗？”郭靖再定神一看，果见她眉目口鼻确和黄蓉一模一样，说道：“你……你……”只说了两个“你”字，再也接不下去了。黄蓉嫣然一笑，说道：“我本是女子，谁要你黄贤弟、黄贤弟的叫我？快上船来罢。”郭靖恍在梦中，双足一点，跃上船去。黄河四鬼兀自将救人的赏格不断提高。 黄蓉把小舟荡到湖心，取出酒菜，笑道：“咱们在这里喝酒赏雪，那不好吗？”这时离黄河四鬼已远，叫嚷之声已听不到了。 郭靖心神渐定，笑道：“我真胡涂，一直当你是男子，以后不能再叫你黄贤弟啦！”黄蓉笑道：“你也别叫我黄贤妹，叫我作蓉儿罢。我爸爸一向这样叫的。”郭靖忽然想起，说道：“我给你带了点心来。”从怀里掏出完颜康送来的细点，哪知他背负王处一、换水化毒、奔波求药，早把点心压得或扁或烂，不成模样。黄蓉看了点心的样子，轻轻一笑。郭靖红了脸，道：“吃不得了！”拿起来要抛入湖中。黄蓉伸手接过，道：“我爱吃。” 郭靖一怔，黄蓉已把一块点心放在口里吃起来。郭靖见她吃了几口，眼圈渐红，眼眶中慢慢充了泪水，更是不解。黄蓉道：“我生下来就没了妈，从没有谁这样记着我过……”说着几颗泪水流了下来。她取出一块洁白的手帕，郭靖以为她要擦拭泪水，哪知她把几块压烂了的点心细心包好，放在怀里，回眸一笑，道：“我慢慢的吃。” 郭靖丝毫不懂这种女儿情怀，只觉这个“黄贤弟”的举动很是特异，当下问她道：“你说有要紧事对我说，是甚么事？”黄蓉笑道：“我要跟你说，我不是甚么黄贤弟，是蓉儿，这不是要紧事么？” 郭靖也是微微一笑，说道：“你这样多好看，干么先前扮成个小叫化？”黄蓉侧过了头，道：“你说我好看吗？”郭靖叹道：“好看极啦，真像我们雪山顶上的仙女一般。”黄蓉笑道：“你见过仙女了？”郭靖道：“我没见过，见了那还有命活？”黄蓉奇道：“怎么？”郭靖道：“蒙古的老人家说，谁见了仙女，就永远不想再回到草原上来啦，整天就在雪山上发痴，没几天就冻死了。” 黄蓉笑道：“那么你见了我发不发痴？”郭靖脸一红，急道：“咱们是好朋友，那不同的。”黄蓉点点头，正正经经的道：“我知道你是真心待我好，不管我是男的还是女的，是好看还是丑八怪。”隔了片刻，说道：“我穿这样的衣服，谁都会对我讨好，那有甚么希罕？我做小叫化的时候你对我好，那才是真好。” 她这时心情极好，笑道：“我唱个曲儿给你听，好吗？”郭靖道：“明儿再唱好不好？咱们要先给王道长买药。”当下把王处一在赵王府受伤、买不到伤药的情形简略说了。 黄蓉道：“我本在奇怪，你满头大汗的在一家家药铺里奔进奔出，不知道干甚么，原来是为了这个。”郭靖这才想起，他去买药时黄蓉已蹑在他身后，否则也不会知道他的住所，说道：“黄贤弟，我骑你的小红马去买药好吗？” 黄蓉正色道：“第一，我不是黄贤弟。第二，那小红马是你的，难道我真会要你的吗？我只是试试你的心。第三，到附近市镇去，也未必能买到药。”郭靖听她所料的与王处一不谋而合，不禁甚是惶急。 黄蓉微笑道：“现下我唱曲儿了，你听着。” 但见她微微侧过了头，斜倚舟边，一缕清声自舌底吐出： “雁霜寒透幙。正护月云轻，嫩冰犹薄。溪奁照梳掠。想含香弄粉，觏妆难学。玉肌瘦弱，更重重龙绡衬着。倚东风，一笑嫣然，转盼万花羞落。 “寂寞！家山何在：雪后园林，水边楼阁。瑶池旧约，麟鸿更仗谁托？粉蝶儿只解寻花觅柳，开遍南枝未觉。但伤心，冷淡黄昏，数声画角。” 郭靖一个字一个字的听着，虽然于词义全然不解，但清音娇柔，低回婉转，听着不自禁的心摇神驰，意酣魂醉，这一番缠绵温存的光景，竟是他出世以来从未经历过的。 黄蓉一曲既终，低声道：“这是辛大人所作的'瑞鹤仙'，是形容雪后梅花的，你说做得好吗？”郭靖道：“我一点儿也不懂，歌儿是很好听的。辛大人是谁啊？”黄蓉道：“辛大人就是辛弃疾。我爹爹说他是个爱国爱民的好官。北方沦陷在金人手中，岳爷爷他们都给奸臣害了，现下只有辛大人还在力图恢复失地。” 郭靖虽然常听母亲说起金人残暴，虐杀中国百姓，但终究自小生长蒙古，家国之痛在他并不深切，说道：“我从未来过中原，这些事你将来慢慢说给我听，这当儿咱们想法儿救王道长要紧。”黄蓉道：“你听我话，咱们在这儿多玩一阵，不用着急。”郭靖道：“他说十二个时辰之内不服药，就会残废的！”黄蓉道：“那就让他残废好了，又不是你残废，我残废。”郭靖“啊”的一声，跳起身来，道：“这……这……”脸上已现怒色。 黄蓉微笑道：“不用着恼，我包你有药就是。”郭靖听她言下之意似是十拿九稳，再者自己也无别法，心想：“她计谋武功都远胜于我，听她的话一定错不了。”只得暂且放宽胸怀。黄蓉说起怎样把黄河四鬼吊在树上，怎样戏弄侯通海，两人拊掌大笑。 眼见暮色四合，渐渐的白雪、湖水、梅花都化成了朦朦胧胧的一片，黄蓉慢慢伸出手去，握住了郭靖的手掌，低声道：“现今我甚么都不怕啦。”郭靖道：“怎么？”黄蓉道：“就算爸爸不要我，你也会要我跟着你的，是不是？”郭靖道：“那当然。蓉儿，我跟你在一起，真是……真是……真是欢喜。” 黄蓉轻轻靠在他胸前。郭靖只觉一股甜香围住了他的身体，围住了湖水，围住了整个天地，也不知是梅花的清香，还是黄蓉身上发出来的。两人握着手不再说话。 过了良久良久，黄蓉叹了口气，道：“这里真好，只可惜咱们要走啦。”郭靖道：“为甚么？”黄蓉道：“你不是要去拿药救王道长吗？”郭靖喜道：“啊，到哪里去拿？”黄蓉道：“药铺子的那几味药，都到哪里去啦？”郭靖道：“定是给赵王府的人搜去了。”黄蓉道：“不错，咱们就到赵王府拿去。”郭靖吓了一跳，道：“赵王府？”黄蓉道：“正是！”郭靖道：“那去不得。咱们俩去只有送命的份儿。” 黄蓉道：“难道你就忍心让王道长终身残废？说不定伤势厉害，还要送命呢！”郭靖热血上冲，道：“好，我去，不过你不要去。”黄蓉道：“为甚么？”郭靖道：“总而言之，你不能去。”却说不出个道理来。 黄蓉低声道：“你再体惜我，我可要受不了啦。要是你遇上了危难，难道我独个儿能活着吗？” 郭靖心中一震，不觉感激、爱惜、狂喜、自怜，诸般激情同时涌上心头，突然间勇气百倍，顿觉沙通天、彭连虎等人殊不足畏，天下更无难事，昂然道：“好，咱俩去拿药。” 两人把小舟划近岸边，上岸回城，向王府而去。走到半路，郭靖忽然记起黄河四鬼兀自挂在树上，停步说道：“啊，要不要去放了那四个人下来？”黄蓉格格一笑，道：“这四个家伙自称'刚烈雄健'，厉害得很，冻不烂、饿不死的。就算饿死了，'梅林四鬼'可也比'黄河四鬼'高雅得多。”
