Chapter 12 The twelfth chapter Kanglong has regrets
Huang Rong was about to tear the chicken apart when someone behind him suddenly said, "Tear it into three parts and give me the chicken butt."
Both of them were taken aback, how could someone cover their backs, they didn't even feel it, they hurriedly turned their heads, only to see that the person speaking was a middle-aged beggar.This man has a square face, a slight beard under his chin, thick hands and big feet, his clothes are covered with patches here and there, but they have been washed clean, and he holds a green bamboo stick in his hand, which is as bright as jade. , carrying a big vermilion lacquered gourd on his back, with a salivating look on his face, and an anxious expression, as if if he didn't give him the chicken butt, he would reach out and snatch it.Before Guo and Huang could answer, he had already sat across from him, took the gourd from his back, unplugged it, and the aroma of wine was overflowing.He gulped a few sips, handed the gourd to Guo Jing, and said, "Baby, you drink."
Guo Jing thought that this person was very rude, but seeing his strange behavior, he knew something was different, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and said: "I don't drink, you old man should drink." His words were very respectful.The beggar said to Huang Rong: "Girl doll, do you want to drink?"
Huang Rong shook her head, and suddenly saw that his right hand holding the gourd had only four fingers, and one index finger was missing from the palm. She felt a chill in her heart, and remembered the nine-fingered beggar that Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi had said outside the inn window that day. I thought to myself: "Could it be a coincidence that I met a senior expert today? Let's find out what he said." Seeing him looking at the fat chicken in his hand, his throat moved, his mouth swallowed, and he secretly smiled. Tear off half of it, and sure enough, I gave it to him along with the chicken butt.
The beggar was overjoyed, grabbed it with his hands, and ate it cleanly, while eating, he couldn't stop praising: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful, even my beggar ancestor can't control such a great beggar chicken. Huang Rong smiled slightly, and handed him the remaining half of the chicken.The beggar said modestly: "How can it be done? You two babies haven't eaten yet." He said politely, but he reached out to take it, and in a short while, only a few chicken bones remained.
He patted his stomach and shouted: "Belly, belly, such a delicious chicken, you rarely eat it?" Huang Rong laughed and said, "My little girl occasionally cooks a beggar's chicken. It is a great honor to be honored by the ancestors." The beggar laughed loudly and said, "You are a very good girl." He took out a few gold darts from his bosom and said, "I saw a few gold darts yesterday. In personal fights, one of them was so rich that the dart he put was shining golden. The old beggar took the dart by hand, so he led it to him. It's real gold. Baby, you can play with it, and if you have no money to use it, you can get seven or eight renminbi in exchange for it." Then he handed it to Guo Jing.Guo Jing shook his head and said, "We treat you as a friend. We invite friends to eat and don't accept gifts." This is the Mongolian hospitality rule.
The beggar looked embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "This is really difficult. I always beg for some leftovers from others, but it's okay, but today I ate such a good chicken as you two dolls, and endured such a day." There is no way to repay such a great favor. This... this..." Guo Jing laughed and said, "What kind of favor is a little chicken? To tell you the truth, we also stole this chicken." Huang Rong said with a smile: "We are Take the chicken by the hand, if you old man comes to eat the chicken by the mouth, everyone will give the word 'shun'." The beggar laughed loudly and said: "You two dolls are very interesting, but it suits my taste. Come, what is your wish? Tell me."
Guo Jing heard that the meaning in his words was to reach out to help himself, but it was still asking someone to eat and receive a gift, so he shook his head.But Huang Rong said: "This beggar's chicken is nothing, I still have a few special dishes, I would like to invite you to taste them. Let's go to the front town together, shall we?" The beggar was overjoyed and shouted: " Wonderful! Wonderful!" Guo Jing said, "What is your surname?" The beggar said, "My surname is Hong, and I rank seventh. You two children should call me Qigong." When Huang Rong heard that his surname was Hong, she thought to herself: "It really is him. But at his age, he seems to be a few years younger than Daoist Qiu. How can he be as famous as the master of the Quanzhen Seven Sons? Well, my father is not old, and he is not generally regarded as the same generation as Hong Qigong and the others. Hand in hand? It must be that the Seven Masters of Quanzhen are not up to date, and they are living like dogs." Qiu Chuji forced Guo Jing and Mu Nianci to get married, and Huang Rong was always annoyed at him.
The three of them headed south, came to a town called Jiangmiao Town, and invested in an inn.Huang Rong said: "I'm going to buy ingredients, you two can rest for a while."
Hong Qigong looked at Huang Rong's back, and said with a smile, "Is she your little wife?" Guo Jing blushed, not daring to say yes, but also unwilling to say no.Hong Qigong laughed loudly, squinted his eyes and leaned back on the chair to doze off.It took more than half an hour before Huang Rong bought vegetables and came back to the kitchen to tidy up.Guo Jing wanted to help, but she smiled and pushed him out.
Another half an hour later, Hong Qigong yawned, sniffed it twice, and shouted, "It smells so weird! What kind of dish is that? It's kind of weird. Something's wrong!" Stretching his neck, he couldn't stop looking towards the kitchen. Look around with your head probed.Seeing his impatient and itchy look, Guo Jing couldn't help laughing secretly.
The aroma was bursting out from the kitchen, but Huang Rong never showed up.
Hong Qigong scratched his ears and rubbed his cheeks, sat down and stood up, standing up and sitting down, feeling very uncomfortable, he said to Guo Jing, "I'm just a glutton, and when I think about eating, I forget everything." The right palm with four fingers left, said: "The ancients said: 'The index finger moves greatly', which is really true. As long as I see or smell strange smells, the index finger of my right hand will not stop dancing. Once for greedy Eat, I missed a major event, I got ruthless and cut off my finger..." Guo Jing said "ah", Hong Qigong sighed: "The finger was cut off, but the greedy nature can't be cut off."
Speaking of this, Huang Rong brought out a wooden plate with a smile and put it on the table. There were three bowls of white rice, a wine glass, and two large bowls of dishes.Guo Jing only felt that it was sweet and tangy, and it was indescribably comfortable. He saw that one bowl was roasted beef strips, but the aroma was strong, and there was nothing special about it. There are seven or eight pink petals floating on the cherry, and the tender bamboo shoots are lining the bottom. The red, white and green colors are bright and dazzling.
Huang Rong poured wine into the wine glass, put it in front of Hong Qigong, and said with a smile: "Qigong, how about you try my handicraft?"
Hong Qigong didn't wait for her to say the second sentence, and he didn't drink any alcohol. He grabbed two beef strips with his chopsticks and put them in his mouth. , or plump and tender, or sweet and crisp, the flavors are diverse and changeable, just like the endless moves of martial arts masters, which are unpredictable.Hong Qigong was full of surprises. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that each piece of beef was composed of four small strips of meat.
Hong Qigong closed his eyes to discern the taste, and said, "Well, one is a lamb sitting on its hip, one is a pig's ear, one is a calf's kidney, and one... and one..." Huang Rong pursed her lips and said with a smile: " I can guess that you are good..." After she finished speaking, Hong Qigong shouted: "It's the deer leg meat and rabbit meat kneaded together." Huang Rong clapped her hands and praised: "Good skill, good skill." Guo Jing heard it I was dumbfounded, and thought: "This bowl of roasted beef sticks takes so much trouble, it's thanks to him that he can distinguish five different meat flavors."
Hong Qigong said: "There are only five kinds of meat, but the taste of mixed pigs and sheep is the same, and the taste of roe and oxen is the same. I can't figure out how many changes there are." Huang Rong smiled and said: "If the order changes Not counting, then there are only twenty-five changes, which is the number of five or five plum blossoms, and because the meat strips are shaped like a flute, so this dish has a name called "Who's House Ting Luomei on the Jade Flute". The word "Who's House" means It also means to test people. Qigong, you have passed the test, and you are the number one among eaters."
Hong Qigong shouted: "Amazing!" He didn't know whether he was praising the name of the dish or his ability to distinguish flavors, he picked up a spoon to scoop up two cherries, and said with a smile: "This bowl of cherry soup with lotus leaves, bamboo shoots and tips It looks so good, I'm a bit reluctant to eat it." After discerning the taste in his mouth, he let out an "ah" and wondered, "Huh?" After eating two more, there was another "ah".Needless to say, the lotus leaves are clear, the bamboo shoots are fresh, and the cherries are sweet. The cherry pits have been pulled out, and other things are embedded, but I can't taste what it is.Hong Qigong muttered: "What is embedded in this cherry?" He closed his eyes, slowly discerning the taste in his mouth, and murmured: "It's sparrow meat! It's either partridge or turtledove, that's right. It's a turtledove!" Opening his eyes, he saw Huang Rong giving a thumbs up, and couldn't help but feel very proud, and said with a smile, "What's the weird name for this bowl of turtledove soup with lotus leaves, bamboo shoots, and cherries?"
Huang Rong smiled and said: "Old man, you have missed one thing." Hong Qigong said "Hey", looked at the soup, and said, "Yes, there are still some petals." Huang Rong said: "That's right, this soup Just think about it from these five ingredients." Hong Qigong said: "If you want me to play riddles, I can't do it, good boy, tell me quickly." Huang Rong said: "I'll mention you, just think about it from the top. Come on." Hong Qigong waved his hands again and again, and said, "No, no. I don't know anything about the things in the books."
Huang Rong said with a smile: "This flowery face, with a small cherry mouth, is a beauty, isn't it?" It is a gentleman among flowers. Therefore, the bamboo shoots and lotus leaves refer to a gentleman." Hong Qigong said: "Oh, so it's a beauty gentleman's soup." Huang Rong still shook her head and said with a smile: "Then what about this turtledove? First The chapter is: 'Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent, a fair and fair lady, a gentleman is very good'. This is why this soup is called 'Haoyu Soup'."
Hong Qigong laughed loudly, and said: "If there is such a weird soup, it must have such a weird name, very good, very good, you strange girl doll, I don't know which strange Lao Tzu gave birth to it." It came out. The taste of this soup is really good. The taste of the cherry soup I ate in the emperor's palace kitchen more than ten years ago is far inferior to this bowl." Huang Rong said with a smile: "What good dishes does the imperial kitchen have? Tell me, so that I can learn how to honor you."
Hong Qigong couldn't stop eating beef strips, drinking fresh soup, and didn't even have time to drink wine. He opened his mouth and had no time to answer her questions, until there was only a tenth or two left in the two bowls, and then he said: " Of course there are many good things from the imperial kitchen, but none of them can match these two flavors. Well, it’s great to have a flavor of mandarin duck and five treasures, but I don’t know how to do it.”
Guo Jing asked: "Did the emperor invite you to eat?" Hong Qigong laughed and said: "Yes, the emperor invited you, but the emperor himself didn't know that's all. I hid on the beam of the imperial kitchen for three months. I will give him a taste of every dish that the emperor eats, and if it tastes good, I will bring the whole plate. If it is not good, let the emperor eat it by himself. The people in the royal kitchen are suspicious, and they all said the fox." Both Guo Jing and Huang Rong thought, "This man is extremely greedy, but also really courageous."
Hong Qigong said with a smile: "Baby, your daughter-in-law's cooking skills are the best in the world. You will be blessed in this life. Damn, why didn't I meet such a good woman when I was young?" I feel sorry.
Huang Rong smiled slightly, and had dinner with Guo Jing on the leftover vegetables.She was full after just one bowl.Guo Jing ate four big bowls, and he couldn't tell the difference between good food and bad food.Hong Qigong shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that a cow chews peonies, it's a pity." Huang Rong pursed her lips and smiled lightly.Guo Jing thought to himself: "Do cows like to eat peonies? There are many Mongolian cows, but there are no peonies. Of course, I have never seen cows eat peonies. But I don't know why you say 'what a pity, what a pity'?"
Hong Qigong rubbed his belly and said, "You two dolls are good at martial arts. I've seen it for a long time. The doll has put in so much effort to prepare such a good dish for me. She must be uneasy and kind enough to tell me to teach you all." You can't do it with your hands. Well, after eating such a good food, it's really hard not to teach you a few hands. Come, come, come with me." He took the gourd, picked up the bamboo stick, got up and left.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong followed him to a pine forest outside the town.Hong Qigong asked Guo Jing, "What do you want to learn?"
Guo Jing thought to himself: "Kungfu is so extensive, what I want to learn, can you teach me?" Just thinking about it, Huang Rong said: "Qi Gong, he is not as good as me, and he is often angry. He wants to beat me the most. "Guo Jing said: "When am I angry..." Huang Rong winked at him, but Guo Jing fell silent.Hong Qigong said with a smile: "I see that his hands and feet are steady, and his internal strength is not bad. How can he not be as good as you? Come on, you two puppies will fight."
Huang Rong took a few steps and called, "Brother Jing, come." Guo Jing still hesitated, Huang Rong said: "You don't show your skills, how can he teach the way?" If you can't do it, please give me some pointers." Hong Qigong said: "It's okay to give some pointers, but more pointers are not worth it." Guo Jing was stunned, Huang Rong shouted: "Look at the trick!" She rushed closer and hit her with a wave of her palm.Guo Jing started a fight, Huang Rong changed her moves very quickly, she had already retracted her palm and flew her legs, attacking his lower body.Hong Qigong shouted: "Okay, girl, I really have you."
Huang Rong said in a low voice: "Strike with heart." Guo Jing raised his spirits and made the Nanshan palm technique taught by Kainan Xiren, fold his palms together, and the wind was like a tiger and a tiger.Huang Rong jumped up and down, resisting with all her heart, dismantled for a while, then suddenly changed her move and used the "Luoying Excalibur Palm" created by her father Huang Yaoshi.The name of this set of palm techniques has the word "Divine Sword" because it was obtained by Huang Yaoshi from the sword technique.I saw her waving her arms, and there were palm shadows in all directions, or five virtual and one real, or eight virtual and one real, just like a sudden gust of wind in the peach forest and thousands of flowers falling together. It's just that her skill is still shallow, and she can't strike as sharply as a sword.Guo Jing's eyes were dazzled, he couldn't keep his door open, he didn't watch out for slapping, his left shoulder, right shoulder, chest and back were hit four times in succession, Huang Rong didn't exert any strength, and he didn't feel any pain.Huang Rong jumped away with a smile.Guo Jing praised: "Rong'er, what a good palm technique!"
Hong Qigong said coldly: "Your father is so capable, why do you need me to teach this foolish boy martial arts?"
Huang Rong was taken aback, and thought to herself: "This Luoying Excalibur palm technique is created by daddy himself. Dad said he has never used it to fight with others. How could Qigong know it?" Want my dad?"
Hong Qigong said: "Of course, he is 'Dongxie' and I am 'Beibei'. Have I fought with him less often?" Huang Rong thought: "He fought with Daddy, but he didn't fight with Daddy. Beat him to death, this man's ability is indeed not small, no wonder 'Northern beggar' can be called together with 'Dongxie'." Then asked: "How do you know me again?"
Hong Qigong said: "Look in the mirror, don't your eyes and nose look like your father's? At first I couldn't remember it, but I just thought your face was familiar, but your martial arts are clearly revealed. How can the old beggar not know the number of martial arts masters in Peach Blossom Island? Although I have never seen this kind of palm technique, only your ghostly father can figure it out. Hehe, your two-flavored vegetables are also What's 'Jade Flute Who's Listening to Luomei', what's 'Good Soup', it must be the name given to you by your father."
Huang Rong said with a smile, "You old man is very good at predicting things. You say my father is very powerful, don't you?" Hong Qigong said coldly, "Of course he is very powerful, but he may not be number one in the world." Huang Rong clapped her hands and said: "Then you must be number one."
Hong Qigong said: "That's not necessarily the case. More than 20 years ago, we Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, Beibei, and Zhongshentong competed in martial arts and swords at the peak of Mount Hua. After seven days and seven nights, we were the best of Zhongshentong. Great, the four of us believe him to be number one in the world." Huang Rong said, "Who is the supernatural power?"
Hong Qigong said: "Didn't your father tell you?" Huang Rong said: "No. My father said that there are many bad things in martial arts and few good things. It is useless for girls to hear, so he seldom told me. Later I Daddy scolded me and didn't like me, so I escaped secretly. He will never want me again." Speaking of this, he lowered his head with a sad expression.Hong Qigong scolded: "This old monster is really evil." Huang Rong said angrily: "You are not allowed to scold my father." Otherwise, I would be reluctant to drive you away after giving birth to such a good daughter like you." Huang Rong smiled and said, "Of course! If you drive me away, who will cook for you?"
Hong Qigong sighed, and said: "Not bad, not bad." After a pause, he said, "The Central Supernatural Power is Wang Chongyang, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect. After his death, it is very difficult to say who is number one in the world. .”
Huang Rong said: "Quanzhen Sect? Well, there is one surnamed Qiu, one surnamed Wang, and one surnamed Ma. They are all Ox-nosed Taoist priests. I see that they are also very ordinary. When they fight with others, they will be poisoned within three tricks. Injured." Hong Qigong said: "Really? They are all Wang Chongyang's disciples. I heard that among his seven disciples, Qiu Chuji's martial arts is the strongest, but after all they are not as good as their master uncle Zhou Botong." Huang Rong frowned slightly when she heard Zhou Botong's name. Shocked, she wanted to speak, but held back.
Guo Jing had been listening to the discussion between the two, and at this moment he interjected: "Yes, Taoist Ma said they have an uncle, but he didn't mention the name of this senior Taoist." Hong Qigong said: "Zhou Botong is not the Quanzhen sect. Wang Chongyang personally taught his martial arts. Hey, you stupid bastard, your father-in-law is extremely smart, so I’m afraid he doesn’t like you, right?” Guo Jing never thought of who his “father-in-law” was. He stuttered and couldn't answer.Huang Rong smiled and said: "My father has never seen him. If you are always willing to teach him some kung fu, my father will like him because of your old face."
Hong Qigong scolded: "Boss little devil, Daddy didn't learn 10% of his kung fu, but he has learned a lot of tricks. I don't like people flattering and wearing high hats. Old beggars never accept apprentices. Who wants such a foolish kid? Only you, treat him like a baby, and put your mind to it, honing in on the martial arts I taught you as a foolish son-in-law. Hehe, the old beggar will not be fooled by this!"
Huang Rong lowered her head, blushing involuntarily.She didn't concentrate on learning martial arts, she had such a strong martial arts father, and she didn't follow her closely, how could she make up her mind to learn Hong Qigong's kung fu?It's just seeing that Guo Jing's martial arts skills are not high, and his six masters kept calling him a "little demon girl". He just happened to meet such an expert as Hong Qigong, and he only hoped that he would teach Guo Jing some kung fu. A master and Qiu Chuji and a group of stinky Taoist priests don't need to be as scared of a mouse as they are when they see a cat.Unexpectedly, Hong Qigong was greedy and greedy, and seemed to be confused, but he really understood in his heart, and he saw through her selfishness.After hearing him nagging and cursing for a while, he stood up and walked away.
After a long time, Guo Jing said: "Rong'er, this old man has a different temper." Huang Rong heard the leaves rustling above her head, and expected that Hong Qigong had already bypassed the pine tree and jumped to the tree, and said: "He The old man is a very good man, he is much more capable than my father." Guo Jing wondered: "He didn't show his skills, how do you know?" Huang Rong said: "I heard what my father said." Guo Jing said: " How should you say?" Huang Rong said: "Daddy said that in today's world, the only one who surpasses him in martial arts is Hong Qigong, the nine-fingered god beggar. Unfortunately, his whereabouts are uncertain, so we can't often learn martial arts with him."
After Hong Qigong walked away, he really performed the super light kung fu, he walked back from behind the forest, and stayed on the tree, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them, wanting to find out if Huang Yaoshi sent these two people to learn his kung fu secretly. Retelling her father's words, she couldn't help but secretly proud of herself: "Huang Yaoshi has always refused to obey me in his mouth, but he admires me in his heart."
How did he know that this was all fabricated by Huang Rong, only to hear her say again: "I haven't learned much from my father's kung fu, it's just that I used to love to play and didn't want to work hard. Now it's so easy to see old senior Hong, if he Wouldn't it be better than my father to give me some pointers? I didn't know that I didn't hold back my words and said something wrong, which annoyed the old man." As she spoke, she began to cry, she was crying fake at first, Guo Jing spoke a few words of comfort in a soft voice. She remembered her mother's early death and her father's far away, and she made a fake out of it. She wept very sadly.After hearing this, Hong Qigong couldn't help but feel a sense of confidant.
Huang Rong cried for a while, then said in a sobbing voice: "I heard from my father that Senior Hong has a set of martial arts that is truly unparalleled in the world and unique in ancient and modern times. Even Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen sect is afraid of it. It's called... called ...Eh, why can't I remember it, obviously I remembered it just now, I want to ask him to teach you, this set of boxing is called... called..." In fact, she didn't know it, she was just talking nonsense.Hong Qigong listened to her thinking hard on the top of the tree, couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "It's called 'Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon'!" He jumped down as he spoke.
Both Guo Jing and Huang Rong were taken aback and took a few steps back.It's just that both of them were shocked, one was true and the other was false.Huang Rong said: "Ah, Qi Gong, why did you fly up to the tree? It's the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon. It's not bad. Why can't I remember it? Dad often mentioned that the martial arts he admired the most in his life was the Ten Subduing Dragon Palms." Eight palms."
Hong Qigong was very happy, and said: "It turns out that your father is still willing to tell the truth. I only know that after Wang Chongyang died, he thought he was number one in the world!" The girl is inferior, and if you lose, you lose because of your lack of boxing skills. Girl, you go back to the inn." Huang Rong knew that he was going to teach Guo Jing the palm technique, so she went happily.
Hong Qigong said to Guo Jing seriously: "Kneel down and make an oath that without my permission, don't pass on the kung fu I taught you to others, even your ghostly little daughter-in-law." Guo Jing was troubled: "If Rong'er wants me to transfer the teaching, how can I refuse?" He said: "Qi Gong, I don't want to learn, just let her kung fu be better than me." Hong Qigong wondered: "Why? " Guo Jing said: "If she wants me to teach, I'm sorry for her if I don't teach, and I'm sorry for you if I teach." You have a trick of 'Kanglong Yougui'. I think that Huang Yaoshi is so conceited, even if he is envious, he can't come here without any promise to steal my housekeeping skills. Besides, the way he learned is completely different from mine. You can’t learn his martial arts, and he can’t learn my palms either.” As he spoke, he slightly bent his left leg, bent his right arm inward, drew a circle with his right palm, and pushed it outward with a sound of a whoosh, sweeping his palm to a tree in front of him. The pine tree, with a click, the pine tree snapped. Guo Jing was taken aback, he really didn't expect such a force in his push. Hong Qigong said: "This tree is dead, if it is a living person, of course it will retreat and dodge. The difficulty of learning this move is to make the other party retreat and have no way to retreat. You move out with one move, Ka La With one stroke, the enemy is as finished as a pine tree." Immediately, he performed the posture twice, and then explained the method of internal strength and external strength, and the way of sending out and closing postures.Although only one move was taught, it took more than an hour of effort. Guo Jing's aptitude is blunt, but his internal strength already has a solid foundation. It is most suitable to learn such simple and powerful martial arts. Now he is practicing hard, and after more than two hours, he has mastered it. Hong Qigong said: "That girl's false moves are many times more than real ones. If you follow her around, you have to follow her. No matter how fast you are, you can't beat her. After thinking about all these false moves, this One palm is definitely true, but she is still false, and the next move is false, but she unexpectedly strikes the truth for you." Guo Jing nodded again and again.Hong Qigong said: "So if you want to break her palm technique, the only way is to ignore her truth and falsehood at all, wait for her palm, whether it's real or fake, you just give her one move." Kanglong has regrets'. Seeing that your move is powerful, she must return her palm to parry, and it will break." Guo Jing asked, "What about the future?" Hong Qigong said with a serious face, "What about the future? Silly boy, how capable is she, can she stop the trick I taught you?" Guo Jing was very worried, and said: " If she couldn't stop it, wouldn't she have hurt her?" Hong Qigong shook his head and sighed, and said, "If my palm strength can be extended but not retracted, and I can't do whatever I want, how can I call it an unparalleled palm in the world? Dragon Eighteen Palms'?" Guo Jing only said yes, and made up his mind: "If I hadn't learned how to be able to send and receive, I would never try a move with Ronger." Hong Qigong said: "Don't you believe it? Let's try it?" Guo Jing stretched his posture, picked out a very small pine tree, imitated Hong Qigong's posture, aimed at the trunk, and slapped his palm.The pine tree shook a few times, but it didn't stop.Hong Qigong scolded: "Silly boy, what are you doing shaking the pine tree? Are you catching squirrels? Picking up pine cones?" Guo Jing's face was flushed by his words, and he smiled embarrassingly. Hong Qigong said: "I told you: You must teach the opponent that there is no way to retreat, and there is no way to give way. Your palm just now is not weak, but the pine tree shook your strength. You First learn how to hit the pine tree so that it doesn't move, and then you can break it with one palm." Guo Jing was enlightened, and said cheerfully: "Then you have to hit hard so fast that the opponent has no time to resist." Hong Qigong rolled his eyes and said: "Isn't it? Then Needless to say? You have practiced sweating profusely for so long, so you have just figured out this simple truth. You are really stupid to get to grandma's house." He said: "This trick is called 'Kanglong Yougui' , the essence of the palm technique is not in the word "excitement" but in the word "regret". If you only want to be fierce, fierce, and fierce, anyone can do it as long as you have a few hundred catties of brute force. How can you teach Huang Yaoshi this trick? Admiration? "Kanglong has regrets, and the surplus can't last long", so if you send out, you must receive it. There are 10 points of strength in hitting, but there are still 20 points in your own strength. When will you realize the taste of "regret" , this trick is considered to be 30% mastered. It is like old wine, which is not spicy, but has an extremely mellow stamina, and that lies in the word 'regret'." Guo Jing was at a loss, but just kept his words firmly in his heart for later pondering.His way of learning martial arts has always been "Once someone else practices for one day, I will practice for ten days". At present, he is only concentrating on practicing palm techniques. In the first dozens of palms, the pine tree always shakes. Later, the more he exerted his strength, the trunk became weaker. The more he shook, the more he knew that his kung fu had advanced, and he was very happy. At this time, the edges of his palms were very red and swollen, but he practiced hard without letting up. Hong Qigong felt bored early and fell asleep on the ground. After Guo Jing practiced, he understood his mind and spirit, exerted energy and retracted the momentum, gradually he was able to use it freely, he took a breath in his dantian, and immediately retracted his strength, the pine tree did not move at all.Guo Jing was overjoyed, he made the second palm according to the pattern, but the force was on the edge of the palm, only a few clicks were heard, the small pine tree was bent and fell down by him. Suddenly Huang Rong cheered from a distance: "Good!" She was walking slowly with a food box in her hand. Before Hong Qigong opened his eyes, he smelled the aroma of the food, and exclaimed, "It smells so good!" He jumped up, grabbed the food box, and opened it, only to find a bowl of smoked frog legs inside. An eight-treasure fat duck, and a pile of snow-white silver silk rolls.Hong Qigong cheered loudly, his hands moved left and right, and right and left, he grabbed the food and put it into his mouth, he chewed and praised, but the lips, teeth, tongue and throat were all food, how could he hear it? Be clear about what you're saying.After eating, the frog legs and eight-treasure duck were all gone, and then remembered that Guo Jing hadn't eaten yet. He felt apologetic, and shouted: "Come, come, this silver thread roll is not bad." I'm sorry to add a sentence: "It's even better than duck." Huang Rong laughed and said, "Qigong, you haven't tasted my best dish yet." Hong Qigong was both surprised and happy, and quickly asked, "What dish? What dish?" Endless, such as stir-fried cabbage, steamed tofu, stewed eggs, and white-cut meat.” Hong Qigong's exquisite taste is rare in the world. He knows that a true culinary master can show his wonderful skills in the most ordinary dishes. This principle is the same as martial arts. It can be said to be the method of the master craftsman. Hearing what she said, I couldn't help being surprised and happy, with a look of flattery and begging on my face, and said: "Okay, okay! I said you are a good girl. I will buy you cabbage Go to the tofu, okay?" Huang Rong said with a smile: "That's not necessary, the one you bought is not to my liking." Hong Qigong said with a smile: "Yes, yes, how can others buy it for use?" Huang Rong said: "Just now I saw him break a pine tree with one palm, he is already better than me." Hong Qigong shook his head and said: "Kung fu is no good, no, you have to cut all the trees with one palm. It is bent like this It's crooked, what kind of skill is that? This pine tree is as thin as a chopstick, no, it's like a toothpick, and its skill is very bad." Huang Rong said: "But I can't resist his palm. Stop it. It's all your fault, he will bully me in the future, what should I do?" Hong Qigong was trying his best to please her at this time, even though he listened to her forceful resignation, he had no choice but to obey her: "Yi What do you say?" Huang Rong said: "You teach me a skill, so I can beat him. After you teach me, I will cook for you." Hong Qigong said: "Okay. He only learned one move, so why is it difficult to beat him? I'll teach you a set of 'Xiaoyaoyou' boxing." After finishing his words, the man jumped up, his sleeves fluttered, and he moved eastward. Leaping to the west, the body is extremely light and agile. Huang Rong silently remembered that by the time Hong Qigong finished using a set of boxing techniques, she had already mastered half of them.After he taught him, in less than two hours, a set of 6636 strokes of "Happy Journey" has been fully mastered.In the end, she and Hong Qigong made moves at the same time, and they stood side by side, one from the left, the other from the right, back and forth, just like a jade swallow or a big eagle flying gracefully.After performing thirty-six moves, the two fell to the ground at the same time, they looked at each other and smiled, Guo Jing applauded loudly. Hong Qigong said to Guo Jing, "This little girl is a hundred times smarter than you." Guo Jing scratched his head and said, "There are so many changes in moves, how did she learn them all at once, but never forget them? I just remembered the second move, but I forgot the first move.” Hong Qigong laughed loudly, and said, “You can’t learn this way of ‘Xiaoyaoyou’, even if you try your best to remember it, it won’t feel like a little bit of leisurely excursion. Son, frowning, clumsy, turned into a 'worried climb'." Guo Jing smiled and said: "Isn't it?" It turns out that the way of martial arts was only revealed to teach her, but in fact, it is no longer in line with my current martial arts. In the past ten years, I have not used it once." The implication is obviously the power of "Xiaoyaoyou" It is far inferior to the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon". Huang Rong liked it after hearing this, and said: "Qigong, I beat him again, he must not be happy in his heart, you can teach him a few more tricks." The tricks she learned by herself were just an introduction, designed to make Hong Qigong more Passing on Guo Jing's martial arts, if she really wanted to learn martial arts herself, with a great master like her father, she would never be able to learn it in her lifetime.Hong Qigong said: "This idiot is so stupid, he hasn't learned the trick I taught him just now, he won't be able to eat as much as he wants, as long as you cook more good food for me, your wish will be fulfilled." Huang Rong smiled and said : "Okay, I'm going to buy vegetables." Hong Qigong laughed loudly and turned around the shop.Guo Jing continued to practice hard in the pine forest until it was dark. That night Huang Rong really fried a bowl of cabbage and steamed a plate of tofu for Hong Qigong to eat.The cabbage is only the heart of the cabbage, stir-fried with chicken oil and minced duck feet, it’s okay, but the tofu is no small matter, first cut open a ham, dug 24 round holes, and cut the tofu into 24 small pieces. Put the balls into the holes respectively, tie the ham and steam it again. When it is steamed, the umami flavor of the ham has been fully absorbed into the tofu, but the ham is discarded and not eaten.When Hong Qigong tasted it, he was naturally overwhelmed.This steamed tofu also has a name in Tang poetry, called "Twenty-Four Bridges and Moonlit Nights". If it weren't for Huang Rong's family tradition of "orchid brushing acupuncture points", the ten fingers are dexterous and gentle, and the movement strength is negligible. How can it be cut into twenty-four small balls?The precision and difficulty of this skill is no less than that of engraving characters on rice grains and carving cores into boats, but if it is cut into squares, it is easy. How can there be a bright moon in the shape of a square in the world? After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms and went to bed.Seeing that Guo Jing and Huang Rong lived in separate rooms, Hong Qigong wondered: "Why? Aren't you two a young couple? Why don't you sleep in the same room?" Huang Rong kept joking with him, and couldn't help being ashamed after hearing this. Under the candlelight, her cheeks were flushed, and she said angrily, "Qigong, if you talk nonsense again, I won't cook for you tomorrow." Hong Qigong wondered: "What? Am I wrong?" He thought for a while, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I'm so confused. You are obviously dressed as a girl, not a daughter-in-law. Your young couple is a private order For the rest of my life, I haven't passed the orders of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, and I haven't worshiped the world. Don't worry, I will always be the big matchmaker. If your father doesn't agree, the old beggar will fight with him for seven days and seven nights. Fight to the death." Huang Rong had been worried about this for a long time, fearing that her father would dislike Guo Jing, after hearing this, she couldn't help being elated and went back to the room with a smile.
The next day at dusk, Guo Jing got up and went to the pine forest to practice the move "Conquering the Dragon with Regrets" in the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon". After practicing more than twenty times, he was sweating profusely. Entering the country, I suddenly heard someone talking outside the forest.One person said: "Master, our journey is probably about thirty miles away?" The other person said: "Your foot strength has indeed improved a bit." Personally, the first person with white hair and childlike face is the old monster Liang Ziweng, his arch-enemy.Guo Jing secretly complained, turned around and ran away. Liang Ziweng saw clearly that it was him, and shouted: "Where are we going?" The three behind him were his apprentices, seeing their master chasing the enemy, they immediately dispersed and came up from three sides.Guo Jing thought to himself: "As long as you get out of the pine forest and run to the inn, it's all right." He ran quickly.Liang Ziweng's eldest disciple stopped him from retreating, he swung his palms together, and shouted: "Little thief, kneel down for me!" He used the powerful grabbing technique taught by his master, and grabbed him in the chest.Guo Jing's left leg was slightly bent, his right arm was bent inward, and he drew a circle with his right palm, and pushed it outward with a sound of hoo.Hearing the strong wind of the palm, the eldest disciple grabbed his arm back to block his palm, with a click, his arm was broken, his body flew six or seven feet away, and passed out.郭靖万料不到这一招竟有偌大威力，一呆之下，拔脚又奔。 梁子翁又惊又怒，纵出林子，飞步绕在他前头。郭靖刚出松林，只见梁子翁已挡在身前，大惊之下，便即蹲腿弯臂、划圈急推，仍是这招“亢龙有悔”。梁子翁不识此招，但见来势凌厉，难以硬挡，只得卧地打滚，让了开去。郭靖乘机狂奔逃命。 梁子翁站起身来再追时，郭靖已奔到客店之外，大声叫道：“蓉儿，蓉儿，不好了，要喝我血的恶人追来啦！” 黄蓉探头出来，见是梁子翁，心想：“怎么这老怪到了这里？他来得正好，我好试试新学的'逍遥游'功夫。”叫道：“靖哥哥，别怕这老怪，你先动手，我来帮你，咱们给他吃点儿苦头。” 郭靖心想：“蓉儿不知这老怪厉害，说得好不轻松自在。”他心念方动，梁子翁已扑到面前，眼见来势猛烈，只得又是一招“亢龙有悔”，向前推出。梁子翁扭身摆腰，向旁窜出数尺，但右臂已被他掌缘带到，热辣辣的甚是疼痛，心下暗暗惊异，想不到只隔数月，这小子的武功竟是精进如此，料来必是服用蝮蛇宝血之功，越想越恼，纵身又上。郭靖又是一招“亢龙有悔”。梁子翁眼看抵挡不住，只得又是跃开，但见他并无别样厉害招术跟着进击，忌惮之意去了几分，骂道：“傻小子，就只会这一招么？” 郭靖果然中计，叫道：“我单只这一招，你就招架不住。”说着上前又是一招“亢龙有悔”。梁子翁旁跃逃开，纵身攻向他身后。郭靖回过头来，待再攻出这一招时，梁子翁早已闪到他身后，出拳袭击。三招一过，郭靖只能顾前，不能顾后，累得手忙脚乱。 黄蓉见他要败，叫道：“靖哥哥，我来对付他。”飞身而出，落在两人之间，左掌右足，同时发出。梁子翁缩身拨拳，还了两招。郭靖退开两步，旁观两人相斗。黄蓉虽然学了“逍遥游”的奇妙掌法，但新学未熟，而功力究与梁子翁相差太远，如不是仗着身上穿了软猬甲，早已中拳受伤，不等三十六路“逍遥游”拳法使完，已然不支。梁子翁的两个徒弟扶着受了伤的大师兄在旁观战，见师父渐渐得手，不住呐喊助威。 郭靖正要上前夹击，忽听得洪七公隔窗叫道：“他下一招是'恶狗拦路'！” 黄蓉一怔，只见梁子翁双腿摆成马步，双手握拳平挥，正是一招“恶虎拦路”，不禁好笑，心道：“原来七公把'恶虎拦路'叫做'恶狗拦路'，但怎么他能先行料到？”只听得洪七公又叫：“下一招是'臭蛇取水'！”黄蓉知道必是“青龙取水”，这一招是伸拳前攻，后心露出空隙，洪七公语声甫歇，她已绕到梁子翁身后。梁子翁一招使出，果然是“青龙取水”，但被黄蓉先得形势，反客为主，直攻他的后心，若不是他武功深湛，危中变招，离地尺余的平飞出去，后心已然中拳。 他脚尖点地站起，惊怒交集，向着窗口喝道：“何方高人，怎不露面？”窗内却是寂然无声，心中诧异之极：“怎么此人竟能料到我的拳法？” 黄蓉既有大高手在后撑腰，自是有恃无恐，反而攻了上去。梁子翁连施杀手，黄蓉情势又危。洪七公叫道：“别怕，他要'烂屁股猴子上树'！”黄蓉噗哧一笑，双拳高举，猛击下来。梁子翁这招“灵猿上树”只使了一半，本待高跃之后凌空下击，但给黄蓉制了机先，眼见敌拳当头而落，若是继续上跃，岂非自行将脑门凑到她拳上去？只得立时变招。临敌之际，自己招术全被敌方如此先行识破，本来不用三招两式，便有性命之忧，幸而他武功比黄蓉高出甚多，危急时能设法解救，才没受伤。再拆数招，托地跳出圈子，叫道：“老兄再不露面，莫怪我对这女娃娃无情了。”拳法斗变，犹如骤风暴雨般击出，上招未完，下招已至，黄蓉固是无法抵御，洪七公也已来不及先行叫破。 郭靖见黄蓉拳法错乱，东闪西躲，当下抢步上前，发出“亢龙有悔”，向梁子翁打去。梁子翁右足点地，向后飞出。黄蓉道：“靖哥哥，再给他三下。”说着转身入店。郭靖依然摆好势子，只等梁子翁攻近身来，不理他是何招术，总是半途中给他一招“亢龙有悔”。梁子翁又是好气，又是好笑，暗骂：“这傻小子不知从哪里学了这一招怪拳，来来去去就是这么一下。”但尽管傻小子只会这么一下，老怪物可也真奈何他不得。两人相隔丈余，一时互相僵住。 梁子翁骂道：“傻小子，小心着！”忽地纵身扑上。郭靖依样葫芦，发掌推出。不料梁子翁半空扭身，右手一扬，三枚子午透骨钉突分上中下三路打来。郭靖急忙闪避，梁子翁已乘势抢上，手势如电，已扭住他后颈。郭靖大骇，回肘向他胸口撞去，不料手肘所着处一团绵软，犹如撞入了棉花堆里。 梁子翁正要猛下杀手，只听得黄蓉大声呼叱：“老怪，你瞧这是甚么？”梁子翁知她狡狯，右手拿住了郭靖“肩井穴”，令他动弹不得，这才转头，只见她手里拿着一根碧绿犹如翡翠般的竹棒，缓步上来。梁子翁心头大震，说道：“洪……洪帮主……”黄蓉喝道：“还不放手？”梁子翁初时听得洪七公把他将用未用的招数先行喝破，本已惊疑不定，却一时想不到是他，这时突然见到他的绿竹棒出现，才想起窗后语音，果然便是生平最害怕之人的说话，不由得魂飞天外，忙松手放开郭靖。 黄蓉双手持棒走近，喝道：“七公说道，他老人家既已出声，你好大胆子，还敢在这里撒野，问你凭的甚么？”梁子翁双膝跪倒，说道：“小人实不知洪帮主驾到。小人便有天大的胆子，也不敢得罪洪帮主。” 黄蓉暗暗诧异：“这人本领如此厉害，怎么一听到七公的名头就怕成这个样子？怎么又叫他作洪帮主？”脸上却不动声色，喝道：“你该当何罪？”梁子翁道：“请姑娘对洪帮主美言几句，只说梁子翁知罪了，但求洪帮主饶命。”黄蓉道：“美言一句，倒也不妨，美言几句，却是划不来。你以后可永远不得再跟咱两人为难。”梁子翁道：“小人以前无知，多有冒犯，务请两位海涵。以后自然再也不敢。” 黄蓉甚为得意，微微一笑，拉着郭靖的手，回进客店。只见洪七公面前放了四大盆菜，左手举杯，右手持箸，正自吃得津津有味。黄蓉笑道：“七公，他跪着动也不敢动。”洪七公道：“你去打他一顿出出气吧，他决不敢还手。” 郭靖隔窗见梁子翁直挺挺的跪着，三名弟子跪在他身后，很是狼狈，心中不忍，说道：“七公，就饶了他吧。”洪七公骂道：“没出息的东西，人家打你，你抵挡不了。老子救了你，你又要饶人。这算甚么？”郭靖无言可对。 黄蓉笑道：“我去打发。”拿了竹棒，走到客店之外，见梁子翁恭恭敬敬的跪着，满脸惶恐。黄蓉骂道：“洪七公说你为非作歹，今日非宰了你不可，幸亏我那郭家哥哥好心，替你求了半天人情，七公才答应饶你。”说着举起竹棒，拍的一声，在他屁股上击了一记，喝道：“去罢！” 梁子翁向着窗子叫道：“洪帮主，我要见见您老，谢过不杀之恩。”店中寂然无声。梁子翁仍是跪着不敢起身。过了片刻，郭靖迈步出来，摇手悄声道：“七公睡着啦，快别吵他。”梁子翁这才站起，向郭靖与黄蓉恨恨的瞧了几眼，带着徒弟走了。 黄蓉开心之极，走回店房，果见洪七公伏在桌上打鼾，当下拉住他的肩膀一阵摇晃，叫道：“七公，七公，你这根宝贝竹棒儿有这么大的法力，你也没用，不如给了我罢？”洪七公抬起头来，打个呵欠，又伸懒腰，笑道：“你说得好轻松自在！这是你公公的吃饭家伙。叫化子没打狗棒，那还成？” 黄蓉缠着不依，说道：“你这么高的功夫，人家只听到你的声音，便都怕了你，何必还要这根竹棒儿？”洪七公呵呵笑道：“傻丫头，你快给七公弄点好菜，我慢慢说给你听。”黄蓉依言到厨房去整治了三色小菜。 洪七公右手持杯，左手拿着一只火腿脚爪慢慢啃着，说道：“常言道：物以类聚，人以群分。爱钱的财主是一帮，抢人钱财的绿林盗贼是一帮，我们乞讨残羹冷饭的叫化子也是一帮……”黄蓉拍手叫道：“我知道啦，我知道啦。那梁老怪叫你作'洪帮主'，原来你是乞儿帮的帮主。” 洪七公道：“正是。我们要饭的受人欺，被狗咬，不结成一伙，还有活命的份儿么？北边的百姓眼下暂且归金国管，南边的百姓归大宋皇帝管，可是天下的叫化儿啊……”黄蓉抢着道：“不论南北，都归你老人家管。”洪七公笑着点点头，说道：“正是。这根竹棒和这个葫芦，自唐末传到今日，已有好几百年，世世代代由丐帮的帮主执掌，就好像皇帝小子的玉玺、做官的金印一般。” 黄蓉伸了伸舌头，道：“亏得你没给我。”洪七公笑问：“怎么？”黄蓉道：“要是天下的小叫化都找着我，要我管他们的事，那可有多糟糕？”洪七公叹道：“你的话一点儿也不错。我生性疏懒，这丐帮帮主当起来着实麻烦，可是又找不到托付之人，只好就这么将就着对付了。” 黄蓉道：“因此那梁老怪才怕得你这么厉害，要是天下的叫化子都跟他为难，可真不好受。每个叫化子在身上捉一个虱子放在他头颈里，痒也痒死了他。”洪七公和郭靖哈哈大笑。笑了一阵，洪七公道：“他怕我，倒不是为了这个。”黄蓉忙问：“那为了甚么？”洪七公道：“约莫二十年前，他正在干一件坏事，给我撞见啦。”黄蓉问道：“甚么坏事？”洪七公踌躇道：“这老怪信了甚么采阴补阳的邪说，找了许多处女来，破了他们的身子，说可以长生不老。”黄蓉问道：“怎么破了处女身子？” 黄蓉之母在生产她时因难产而死，是以她自小由父亲养大。黄药师因陈玄风、梅超风叛师私逃，一怒而将其余徒弟挑断筋脉，驱逐出岛。桃花岛上就只剩下几名哑仆。黄蓉从来没听年长女子说过男女之事，她与郭靖情意相投，但觉和他在一起时心中说不出的喜悦甜美，只要和他分开片刻，就感寂寞难受。她只知男女结为夫妻就永不分离，是以心中早把郭靖看作丈夫，但夫妻间的闺房之事，却是全然不知。 她这么一问，洪七公一时倒是难以回答。黄蓉又问：“破了处女的身子，是杀了她们吗？”洪七公道：“不是。一个女子受了这般欺侮，有时比给他杀了还要痛苦，有人说'失节事大，饿死事小'，就是这个意思了。”黄蓉茫然不解，问道：“是用刀子割去耳朵鼻子么？”洪七公笑骂：“呸！也不是。傻丫头，你回家问妈妈去。”黄蓉道：“我妈妈早死啦。”洪七公“啊”了一声，道：“你将来和这傻小子洞房花烛夜时，总会懂得了。”黄蓉红了脸，撅起小嘴道：“你不说算啦。”这时才明白这是羞耻之事，又问：“你撞见梁老怪正在干这坏事，后来怎样？” 洪七公见她不追问那件事，如释重负，呼了一口气道：“那我自然要管哪。这家伙给我拿住了，狠狠打了一顿，拔下了他满头白发，逼着他把那些姑娘们送还家去，还要他立下重誓，以后不得再有这等恶行，要是再被我撞见，叫他求生不能，求死不得。听说这些年来他倒也没敢再犯，是以今日饶了他性命。他奶奶的，他的头发长起了没有？”黄蓉格的一声笑，说道：“又长起啦！满头头发硬生生给你拔个干净，可真够他痛的了。”
三人吃过了饭。黄蓉道：“七公，现下你就算把竹棒给我，我也不敢要啦，不过我们总不能一辈子跟你在一起。要是下次再碰见那姓梁的。他说：'好，小丫头，前次你仗着洪帮主的势，用竹棒打我，今日我可要报仇啦。我拔光了你的头发！'那我们怎么办？先前靖哥哥跟这老怪动手，来来去去就只这么一招'亢龙有悔'，威力无穷，果然不错，可不是太嫌寒蠢了些么？那老怪心里定是在说：'洪帮主自己武功深不可测，教起徒儿来却是平平无奇。'” 洪七公笑道：“你危言耸听，又出言激我，只不过要我再教你们两人功夫。你乖乖的多烧些好菜，七公总不会让你们吃亏。”黄蓉大喜，拉着洪七公又到松林之中。 洪七公把“降龙十八掌”中的第二招“飞龙在天”教了郭靖。这一招跃起半空，居高下击，威力奇大，郭靖花了三天工夫，方才学会。在这三天之中，洪七公又多尝了十几味珍馐美馔，黄蓉却没再磨他教甚么功夫，只须他肯尽量传授郭靖，便已心满意足。 如此一月有余，洪七公已将“降龙十八掌”中的十五掌传给了郭靖，自“亢龙有悔”一直传到了“龙战于野”。 这降龙十八掌乃洪七公生平绝学，一半得自师授，一半是自行参悟出来，虽然招数有限，但每一招均具绝大威力。当年在华山绝顶与王重阳、黄药师等人论剑之时，这套掌法尚未完全练成，但王重阳等言下对这掌法已极为称道。后来他常常叹息，只要早几年致力于此，那么“武功天下第一”的名号，或许不属于全真教主王重阳而属于他了。他本想只传两三招掌法给郭靖，已然足可保身，哪知黄蓉烹调的功夫实在高明，奇珍妙味，每日里层出不穷，使他无法舍之而去，日复一日，竟然传授了十五招之多。郭靖虽然悟性不高，但只要学到一点一滴，就日夜钻研习练，把这十五掌掌法学得颇为到家，只是火候尚远为不足而已，一个多月之间，武功前后已判若两人。 这日洪七公吃了早点，叹道：“两个娃娃，咱三人已相聚了一个多月，这就该分手啦。”黄蓉道：“啊，不成，我还有很多小菜没烧给您老人家吃呢。”洪七公道：“天下没不散的筵席，却有吃不完的菜肴。老叫化一生从没教过人三天以上的武功，这一次一教教了三十多天，再教下去，唉，那是乖乖不得了。”黄蓉道：“怎么啊？”洪七公道：“我的看家本领要给你们学全啦。”黄蓉道：“好人做到底，你把十八路掌法全传了他，岂不甚美？”洪七公啐道：“呸，你们小两口子就美得不得了，老叫化可不美啦。” 黄蓉心中着急，转念头要使个甚么计策，让他把余下三招教全了郭靖，哪知洪七公负起葫芦，再不说第二句话，竟自扬长而去。 郭靖忙追上去，洪七公身法好快，一瞬眼已不见了踪影。郭靖追到松林，大叫道：“七公，七公！”黄蓉也随后追来，跟着大叫。 只见松林边人影一晃，洪七公走了过来，骂道：“你们两个臭娃娃，尽缠着我干甚么？要想我再教，那是难上加难。”郭靖道：“您老教了这许多，弟子已是心满意足，哪敢再贪，只是未曾叩谢您老恩德。”说着跪了下去，砰砰砰砰的连磕了几个响头。 洪七公脸色一变，喝道：“住着。我教你武功，那是吃了她的小菜，付的价钱，咱们可没师徒名分。”倏的跪下，向郭靖磕下头去。 郭靖大骇，忙又跪下还礼。洪七公手一伸，已点中他胁下穴道。郭靖双膝微曲，动弹不得。洪七公向着他也磕了四个头，这才解开他穴道，说道：“记着，可别说你向我磕过头，是我弟子。”郭靖这才知他脾气古怪，不敢再说。 黄蓉叹道：“七公，你待我们这样好，现下又要分别了。我本想将来见到你，再烧小菜请你吃，只怕……只怕……唉，这件事未必能够如愿。”洪七公问道：“为甚么？”黄蓉道：“要跟我们为难的对头很多，除了那个参仙老怪之外，还有不少坏家伙。总有一天，我两个会死在人家手下。”洪七公微笑道：“死就死好了，谁不死呢？” 黄蓉摇头道：“死倒不打紧。我最怕他们捉住了我，知道我曾跟你学过武艺，又曾烧菜给你吃，于是逼着我也把'玉笛谁家听落梅'、'二十四桥明月夜'那些好菜，一味味的煮给他们吃，不免堕了你老人家的威名。” 洪七公明知她是以言语相激，但想到有人逼着她烧菜，而这等绝妙的滋味自己居然尝不到，却也忍不住大为生气，问道：“那些家伙是谁？”黄蓉道：“有一个是黄河老怪沙通天，他的吃相再也难看不过。我那些好小菜不免全让他糟蹋了。”洪七公摇头道：“沙通天有啥屁用？郭靖这傻小子再练得一两年就胜过他了，不用怕。”黄蓉又说了藏僧灵智、彭连虎两人的姓名，洪七公都说：“有啥屁用？”待黄蓉说到白驼山少主欧阳克时，洪七公微微一怔，详询此人出手和身法的模样，听黄蓉说后，点头道：“果然是他！” 黄蓉见他神色严重，道：“这人很厉害吗？”洪七公道：“欧阳克有啥屁用？他叔叔老毒物这才厉害。”黄蓉道：“老毒物？他再厉害，总厉害不过你老人家。” 洪七公不语，沉思良久，说道：“本来也差不多，可是过了这二十来年……二十来年，他用功比我勤，不像老叫化这般好吃懒练。嘿嘿，当真要胜过老叫化，却也没这么容易。”黄蓉道：“那一定胜不过你老人家。” 洪七公摇头道：“这也未必，大家走着瞧吧。好，老毒物欧阳锋的侄儿既要跟你为难，咱们可不能太大意了。老叫化再吃你半个月的小菜。咱们把话说在前头，这半个月之中，只要有一味菜吃了两次，老叫化拍拍屁股就走。” 黄蓉大喜，有心要显显本事，所煮的菜肴固然绝无重复，连面食米饭也是极逞智巧，没一餐相同，锅贴、烧卖、蒸饺、水饺、炒饭、汤饭、年糕、花卷、米粉、豆丝，花样竟是变幻无穷。洪七公也打叠精神，指点郭、黄两人临敌应变、防身保命之道。只是“降龙十八掌”那余下的三招却也没再传授。郭靖于降龙十五掌固然领会更多，而自江南六怪所学的武艺招术，也凭空增加了不少威力。洪七公于三十五岁之前武功甚杂，练过的拳法掌法着实不少，这时尽拣些希奇古怪的拳脚来教黄蓉，其实也只是跟她逗趣，花样虽是百出，说到克敌制胜的威力却远不及那老老实实的十五招“降龙十八掌”了。黄蓉也只图个好玩，并不专心致志的去学。 一日傍晚，郭靖在松林中习练掌法。黄蓉捡拾松仁，说道要加上竹笋与酸梅，做一味别出心裁的小菜，名目已然有了，叫作“岁寒三友”。洪七公只听得不住吞馋涎，突然转身，轻轻“噫”的一声，俯身在草丛中一捞，两根手指夹住一条两尺来长的青蛇提了起来。黄蓉刚叫得一声：“蛇！”洪七公左掌在她肩头轻轻一推，将她推出数尺之外。 草丛簌簌响动，又有几条蛇窜出，洪七公竹杖连挥，每一下都
Hong Qigong said to Guo Jing seriously: "Kneel down and make an oath that without my permission, don't pass on the kung fu I taught you to others, even your ghostly little daughter-in-law." Guo Jing was troubled: "If Rong'er wants me to transfer the teaching, how can I refuse?" He said: "Qi Gong, I don't want to learn, just let her kung fu be better than me." Hong Qigong wondered: "Why? " Guo Jing said: "If she wants me to teach, I'm sorry for her if I don't teach, and I'm sorry for you if I teach." You have a trick of 'Kanglong Yougui'. I think that Huang Yaoshi is so conceited, even if he is envious, he can't come here without any promise to steal my housekeeping skills. Besides, the way he learned is completely different from mine. You can’t learn his martial arts, and he can’t learn my palms either.” As he spoke, he slightly bent his left leg, bent his right arm inward, drew a circle with his right palm, and pushed it outward with a sound of a whoosh, sweeping his palm to a tree in front of him. The pine tree, with a click, the pine tree snapped. Guo Jing was taken aback, he really didn't expect such a force in his push. Hong Qigong said: "This tree is dead, if it is a living person, of course it will retreat and dodge. The difficulty of learning this move is to make the other party retreat and have no way to retreat. You move out with one move, Ka La With one stroke, the enemy is as finished as a pine tree." Immediately, he performed the posture twice, and then explained the method of internal strength and external strength, and the way of sending out and closing postures.Although only one move was taught, it took more than an hour of effort. Guo Jing's aptitude is blunt, but his internal strength already has a solid foundation. It is most suitable to learn such simple and powerful martial arts. Now he is practicing hard, and after more than two hours, he has mastered it. Hong Qigong said: "That girl's false moves are many times more than real ones. If you follow her around, you have to follow her. No matter how fast you are, you can't beat her. After thinking about all these false moves, this One palm is definitely true, but she is still false, and the next move is false, but she unexpectedly strikes the truth for you." Guo Jing nodded again and again.Hong Qigong said: "So if you want to break her palm technique, the only way is to ignore her truth and falsehood at all, wait for her palm, whether it's real or fake, you just give her one move." Kanglong has regrets'. Seeing that your move is powerful, she must return her palm to parry, and it will break." Guo Jing asked, "What about the future?" Hong Qigong said with a serious face, "What about the future? Silly boy, how capable is she, can she stop the trick I taught you?" Guo Jing was very worried, and said: " If she couldn't stop it, wouldn't she have hurt her?" Hong Qigong shook his head and sighed, and said, "If my palm strength can be extended but not retracted, and I can't do whatever I want, how can I call it an unparalleled palm in the world? Dragon Eighteen Palms'?" Guo Jing only said yes, and made up his mind: "If I hadn't learned how to be able to send and receive, I would never try a move with Ronger." Hong Qigong said: "Don't you believe it? Let's try it?" Guo Jing stretched his posture, picked out a very small pine tree, imitated Hong Qigong's posture, aimed at the trunk, and slapped his palm.The pine tree shook a few times, but it didn't stop.Hong Qigong scolded: "Silly boy, what are you doing shaking the pine tree? Are you catching squirrels? Picking up pine cones?" Guo Jing's face was flushed by his words, and he smiled embarrassingly. Hong Qigong said: "I told you: You must teach the opponent that there is no way to retreat, and there is no way to give way. Your palm just now is not weak, but the pine tree shook your strength. You First learn how to hit the pine tree so that it doesn't move, and then you can break it with one palm." Guo Jing was enlightened, and said cheerfully: "Then you have to hit hard so fast that the opponent has no time to resist." Hong Qigong rolled his eyes and said: "Isn't it? Then Needless to say? You have practiced sweating profusely for so long, so you have just figured out this simple truth. You are really stupid to get to grandma's house." He said: "This trick is called 'Kanglong Yougui' , the essence of the palm technique is not in the word "excitement" but in the word "regret". If you only want to be fierce, fierce, and fierce, anyone can do it as long as you have a few hundred catties of brute force. How can you teach Huang Yaoshi this trick? Admiration? "Kanglong has regrets, and the surplus can't last long", so if you send out, you must receive it. There are 10 points of strength in hitting, but there are still 20 points in your own strength. When will you realize the taste of "regret" , this trick is considered to be 30% mastered. It is like old wine, which is not spicy, but has an extremely mellow stamina, and that lies in the word 'regret'." Guo Jing was at a loss, but just kept his words firmly in his heart for later pondering.His way of learning martial arts has always been "Once someone else practices for one day, I will practice for ten days". At present, he is only concentrating on practicing palm techniques. In the first dozens of palms, the pine tree always shakes. Later, the more he exerted his strength, the trunk became weaker. The more he shook, the more he knew that his kung fu had advanced, and he was very happy. At this time, the edges of his palms were very red and swollen, but he practiced hard without letting up. Hong Qigong felt bored early and fell asleep on the ground. After Guo Jing practiced, he understood his mind and spirit, exerted energy and retracted the momentum, gradually he was able to use it freely, he took a breath in his dantian, and immediately retracted his strength, the pine tree did not move at all.Guo Jing was overjoyed, he made the second palm according to the pattern, but the force was on the edge of the palm, only a few clicks were heard, the small pine tree was bent and fell down by him. Suddenly Huang Rong cheered from a distance: "Good!" She was walking slowly with a food box in her hand. Before Hong Qigong opened his eyes, he smelled the aroma of the food, and exclaimed, "It smells so good!" He jumped up, grabbed the food box, and opened it, only to find a bowl of smoked frog legs inside. An eight-treasure fat duck, and a pile of snow-white silver silk rolls.Hong Qigong cheered loudly, his hands moved left and right, and right and left, he grabbed the food and put it into his mouth, he chewed and praised, but the lips, teeth, tongue and throat were all food, how could he hear it? Be clear about what you're saying.After eating, the frog legs and eight-treasure duck were all gone, and then remembered that Guo Jing hadn't eaten yet. He felt apologetic, and shouted: "Come, come, this silver thread roll is not bad." I'm sorry to add a sentence: "It's even better than duck." Huang Rong laughed and said, "Qigong, you haven't tasted my best dish yet." Hong Qigong was both surprised and happy, and quickly asked, "What dish? What dish?" Endless, such as stir-fried cabbage, steamed tofu, stewed eggs, and white-cut meat.” Hong Qigong's exquisite taste is rare in the world. He knows that a true culinary master can show his wonderful skills in the most ordinary dishes. This principle is the same as martial arts. It can be said to be the method of the master craftsman. Hearing what she said, I couldn't help being surprised and happy, with a look of flattery and begging on my face, and said: "Okay, okay! I said you are a good girl. I will buy you cabbage Go to the tofu, okay?" Huang Rong said with a smile: "That's not necessary, the one you bought is not to my liking." Hong Qigong said with a smile: "Yes, yes, how can others buy it for use?" Huang Rong said: "Just now I saw him break a pine tree with one palm, he is already better than me." Hong Qigong shook his head and said: "Kung fu is no good, no, you have to cut all the trees with one palm. It is bent like this It's crooked, what kind of skill is that? This pine tree is as thin as a chopstick, no, it's like a toothpick, and its skill is very bad." Huang Rong said: "But I can't resist his palm. Stop it. It's all your fault, he will bully me in the future, what should I do?" Hong Qigong was trying his best to please her at this time, even though he listened to her forceful resignation, he had no choice but to obey her: "Yi What do you say?" Huang Rong said: "You teach me a skill, so I can beat him. After you teach me, I will cook for you." Hong Qigong said: "Okay. He only learned one move, so why is it difficult to beat him? I'll teach you a set of 'Xiaoyaoyou' boxing." After finishing his words, the man jumped up, his sleeves fluttered, and he moved eastward. Leaping to the west, the body is extremely light and agile. Huang Rong silently remembered that by the time Hong Qigong finished using a set of boxing techniques, she had already mastered half of them.After he taught him, in less than two hours, a set of 6636 strokes of "Happy Journey" has been fully mastered.In the end, she and Hong Qigong made moves at the same time, and they stood side by side, one from the left, the other from the right, back and forth, just like a jade swallow or a big eagle flying gracefully.After performing thirty-six moves, the two fell to the ground at the same time, they looked at each other and smiled, Guo Jing applauded loudly. Hong Qigong said to Guo Jing, "This little girl is a hundred times smarter than you." Guo Jing scratched his head and said, "There are so many changes in moves, how did she learn them all at once, but never forget them? I just remembered the second move, but I forgot the first move.” Hong Qigong laughed loudly, and said, “You can’t learn this way of ‘Xiaoyaoyou’, even if you try your best to remember it, it won’t feel like a little bit of leisurely excursion. Son, frowning, clumsy, turned into a 'worried climb'." Guo Jing smiled and said: "Isn't it?" It turns out that the way of martial arts was only revealed to teach her, but in fact, it is no longer in line with my current martial arts. In the past ten years, I have not used it once." The implication is obviously the power of "Xiaoyaoyou" It is far inferior to the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon". Huang Rong liked it after hearing this, and said: "Qigong, I beat him again, he must not be happy in his heart, you can teach him a few more tricks." The tricks she learned by herself were just an introduction, designed to make Hong Qigong more Passing on Guo Jing's martial arts, if she really wanted to learn martial arts herself, with a great master like her father, she would never be able to learn it in her lifetime.Hong Qigong said: "This idiot is so stupid, he hasn't learned the trick I taught him just now, he won't be able to eat as much as he wants, as long as you cook more good food for me, your wish will be fulfilled." Huang Rong smiled and said : "Okay, I'm going to buy vegetables." Hong Qigong laughed loudly and turned around the shop.Guo Jing continued to practice hard in the pine forest until it was dark. That night Huang Rong really fried a bowl of cabbage and steamed a plate of tofu for Hong Qigong to eat.The cabbage is only the heart of the cabbage, stir-fried with chicken oil and minced duck feet, it’s okay, but the tofu is no small matter, first cut open a ham, dug 24 round holes, and cut the tofu into 24 small pieces. Put the balls into the holes respectively, tie the ham and steam it again. When it is steamed, the umami flavor of the ham has been fully absorbed into the tofu, but the ham is discarded and not eaten.When Hong Qigong tasted it, he was naturally overwhelmed.This steamed tofu also has a name in Tang poetry, called "Twenty-Four Bridges and Moonlit Nights". If it weren't for Huang Rong's family tradition of "orchid brushing acupuncture points", the ten fingers are dexterous and gentle, and the movement strength is negligible. How can it be cut into twenty-four small balls?The precision and difficulty of this skill is no less than that of engraving characters on rice grains and carving cores into boats, but if it is cut into squares, it is easy. How can there be a bright moon in the shape of a square in the world? After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms and went to bed.Seeing that Guo Jing and Huang Rong lived in separate rooms, Hong Qigong wondered: "Why? Aren't you two a young couple? Why don't you sleep in the same room?" Huang Rong kept joking with him, and couldn't help being ashamed after hearing this. Under the candlelight, her cheeks were flushed, and she said angrily, "Qigong, if you talk nonsense again, I won't cook for you tomorrow." Hong Qigong wondered: "What? Am I wrong?" He thought for a while, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I'm so confused. You are obviously dressed as a girl, not a daughter-in-law. Your young couple is a private order For the rest of my life, I haven't passed the orders of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, and I haven't worshiped the world. Don't worry, I will always be the big matchmaker. If your father doesn't agree, the old beggar will fight with him for seven days and seven nights. Fight to the death." Huang Rong had been worried about this for a long time, fearing that her father would dislike Guo Jing, after hearing this, she couldn't help being elated and went back to the room with a smile.
The next day at dusk, Guo Jing got up and went to the pine forest to practice the move "Conquering the Dragon with Regrets" in the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon". After practicing more than twenty times, he was sweating profusely. Entering the country, I suddenly heard someone talking outside the forest.One person said: "Master, our journey is probably about thirty miles away?" The other person said: "Your foot strength has indeed improved a bit." Personally, the first person with white hair and childlike face is the old monster Liang Ziweng, his arch-enemy.Guo Jing secretly complained, turned around and ran away. Liang Ziweng saw clearly that it was him, and shouted: "Where are we going?" The three behind him were his apprentices, seeing their master chasing the enemy, they immediately dispersed and came up from three sides.Guo Jing thought to himself: "As long as you get out of the pine forest and run to the inn, it's all right." He ran quickly.Liang Ziweng's eldest disciple stopped him from retreating, he swung his palms together, and shouted: "Little thief, kneel down for me!" He used the powerful grabbing technique taught by his master, and grabbed him in the chest.Guo Jing's left leg was slightly bent, his right arm was bent inward, and he drew a circle with his right palm, and pushed it outward with a sound of hoo.Hearing the strong wind of the palm, the eldest disciple grabbed his arm back to block his palm, with a click, his arm was broken, his body flew six or seven feet away, and passed out.郭靖万料不到这一招竟有偌大威力，一呆之下，拔脚又奔。 梁子翁又惊又怒，纵出林子，飞步绕在他前头。郭靖刚出松林，只见梁子翁已挡在身前，大惊之下，便即蹲腿弯臂、划圈急推，仍是这招“亢龙有悔”。梁子翁不识此招，但见来势凌厉，难以硬挡，只得卧地打滚，让了开去。郭靖乘机狂奔逃命。 梁子翁站起身来再追时，郭靖已奔到客店之外，大声叫道：“蓉儿，蓉儿，不好了，要喝我血的恶人追来啦！” 黄蓉探头出来，见是梁子翁，心想：“怎么这老怪到了这里？他来得正好，我好试试新学的'逍遥游'功夫。”叫道：“靖哥哥，别怕这老怪，你先动手，我来帮你，咱们给他吃点儿苦头。” 郭靖心想：“蓉儿不知这老怪厉害，说得好不轻松自在。”他心念方动，梁子翁已扑到面前，眼见来势猛烈，只得又是一招“亢龙有悔”，向前推出。梁子翁扭身摆腰，向旁窜出数尺，但右臂已被他掌缘带到，热辣辣的甚是疼痛，心下暗暗惊异，想不到只隔数月，这小子的武功竟是精进如此，料来必是服用蝮蛇宝血之功，越想越恼，纵身又上。郭靖又是一招“亢龙有悔”。梁子翁眼看抵挡不住，只得又是跃开，但见他并无别样厉害招术跟着进击，忌惮之意去了几分，骂道：“傻小子，就只会这一招么？” 郭靖果然中计，叫道：“我单只这一招，你就招架不住。”说着上前又是一招“亢龙有悔”。梁子翁旁跃逃开，纵身攻向他身后。郭靖回过头来，待再攻出这一招时，梁子翁早已闪到他身后，出拳袭击。三招一过，郭靖只能顾前，不能顾后，累得手忙脚乱。 黄蓉见他要败，叫道：“靖哥哥，我来对付他。”飞身而出，落在两人之间，左掌右足，同时发出。梁子翁缩身拨拳，还了两招。郭靖退开两步，旁观两人相斗。黄蓉虽然学了“逍遥游”的奇妙掌法，但新学未熟，而功力究与梁子翁相差太远，如不是仗着身上穿了软猬甲，早已中拳受伤，不等三十六路“逍遥游”拳法使完，已然不支。梁子翁的两个徒弟扶着受了伤的大师兄在旁观战，见师父渐渐得手，不住呐喊助威。 郭靖正要上前夹击，忽听得洪七公隔窗叫道：“他下一招是'恶狗拦路'！” 黄蓉一怔，只见梁子翁双腿摆成马步，双手握拳平挥，正是一招“恶虎拦路”，不禁好笑，心道：“原来七公把'恶虎拦路'叫做'恶狗拦路'，但怎么他能先行料到？”只听得洪七公又叫：“下一招是'臭蛇取水'！”黄蓉知道必是“青龙取水”，这一招是伸拳前攻，后心露出空隙，洪七公语声甫歇，她已绕到梁子翁身后。梁子翁一招使出，果然是“青龙取水”，但被黄蓉先得形势，反客为主，直攻他的后心，若不是他武功深湛，危中变招，离地尺余的平飞出去，后心已然中拳。 他脚尖点地站起，惊怒交集，向着窗口喝道：“何方高人，怎不露面？”窗内却是寂然无声，心中诧异之极：“怎么此人竟能料到我的拳法？” 黄蓉既有大高手在后撑腰，自是有恃无恐，反而攻了上去。梁子翁连施杀手，黄蓉情势又危。洪七公叫道：“别怕，他要'烂屁股猴子上树'！”黄蓉噗哧一笑，双拳高举，猛击下来。梁子翁这招“灵猿上树”只使了一半，本待高跃之后凌空下击，但给黄蓉制了机先，眼见敌拳当头而落，若是继续上跃，岂非自行将脑门凑到她拳上去？只得立时变招。临敌之际，自己招术全被敌方如此先行识破，本来不用三招两式，便有性命之忧，幸而他武功比黄蓉高出甚多，危急时能设法解救，才没受伤。再拆数招，托地跳出圈子，叫道：“老兄再不露面，莫怪我对这女娃娃无情了。”拳法斗变，犹如骤风暴雨般击出，上招未完，下招已至，黄蓉固是无法抵御，洪七公也已来不及先行叫破。 郭靖见黄蓉拳法错乱，东闪西躲，当下抢步上前，发出“亢龙有悔”，向梁子翁打去。梁子翁右足点地，向后飞出。黄蓉道：“靖哥哥，再给他三下。”说着转身入店。郭靖依然摆好势子，只等梁子翁攻近身来，不理他是何招术，总是半途中给他一招“亢龙有悔”。梁子翁又是好气，又是好笑，暗骂：“这傻小子不知从哪里学了这一招怪拳，来来去去就是这么一下。”但尽管傻小子只会这么一下，老怪物可也真奈何他不得。两人相隔丈余，一时互相僵住。 梁子翁骂道：“傻小子，小心着！”忽地纵身扑上。郭靖依样葫芦，发掌推出。不料梁子翁半空扭身，右手一扬，三枚子午透骨钉突分上中下三路打来。郭靖急忙闪避，梁子翁已乘势抢上，手势如电，已扭住他后颈。郭靖大骇，回肘向他胸口撞去，不料手肘所着处一团绵软，犹如撞入了棉花堆里。 梁子翁正要猛下杀手，只听得黄蓉大声呼叱：“老怪，你瞧这是甚么？”梁子翁知她狡狯，右手拿住了郭靖“肩井穴”，令他动弹不得，这才转头，只见她手里拿着一根碧绿犹如翡翠般的竹棒，缓步上来。梁子翁心头大震，说道：“洪……洪帮主……”黄蓉喝道：“还不放手？”梁子翁初时听得洪七公把他将用未用的招数先行喝破，本已惊疑不定，却一时想不到是他，这时突然见到他的绿竹棒出现，才想起窗后语音，果然便是生平最害怕之人的说话，不由得魂飞天外，忙松手放开郭靖。 黄蓉双手持棒走近，喝道：“七公说道，他老人家既已出声，你好大胆子，还敢在这里撒野，问你凭的甚么？”梁子翁双膝跪倒，说道：“小人实不知洪帮主驾到。小人便有天大的胆子，也不敢得罪洪帮主。” 黄蓉暗暗诧异：“这人本领如此厉害，怎么一听到七公的名头就怕成这个样子？怎么又叫他作洪帮主？”脸上却不动声色，喝道：“你该当何罪？”梁子翁道：“请姑娘对洪帮主美言几句，只说梁子翁知罪了，但求洪帮主饶命。”黄蓉道：“美言一句，倒也不妨，美言几句，却是划不来。你以后可永远不得再跟咱两人为难。”梁子翁道：“小人以前无知，多有冒犯，务请两位海涵。以后自然再也不敢。” 黄蓉甚为得意，微微一笑，拉着郭靖的手，回进客店。只见洪七公面前放了四大盆菜，左手举杯，右手持箸，正自吃得津津有味。黄蓉笑道：“七公，他跪着动也不敢动。”洪七公道：“你去打他一顿出出气吧，他决不敢还手。” 郭靖隔窗见梁子翁直挺挺的跪着，三名弟子跪在他身后，很是狼狈，心中不忍，说道：“七公，就饶了他吧。”洪七公骂道：“没出息的东西，人家打你，你抵挡不了。老子救了你，你又要饶人。这算甚么？”郭靖无言可对。 黄蓉笑道：“我去打发。”拿了竹棒，走到客店之外，见梁子翁恭恭敬敬的跪着，满脸惶恐。黄蓉骂道：“洪七公说你为非作歹，今日非宰了你不可，幸亏我那郭家哥哥好心，替你求了半天人情，七公才答应饶你。”说着举起竹棒，拍的一声，在他屁股上击了一记，喝道：“去罢！” 梁子翁向着窗子叫道：“洪帮主，我要见见您老，谢过不杀之恩。”店中寂然无声。梁子翁仍是跪着不敢起身。过了片刻，郭靖迈步出来，摇手悄声道：“七公睡着啦，快别吵他。”梁子翁这才站起，向郭靖与黄蓉恨恨的瞧了几眼，带着徒弟走了。 黄蓉开心之极，走回店房，果见洪七公伏在桌上打鼾，当下拉住他的肩膀一阵摇晃，叫道：“七公，七公，你这根宝贝竹棒儿有这么大的法力，你也没用，不如给了我罢？”洪七公抬起头来，打个呵欠，又伸懒腰，笑道：“你说得好轻松自在！这是你公公的吃饭家伙。叫化子没打狗棒，那还成？” 黄蓉缠着不依，说道：“你这么高的功夫，人家只听到你的声音，便都怕了你，何必还要这根竹棒儿？”洪七公呵呵笑道：“傻丫头，你快给七公弄点好菜，我慢慢说给你听。”黄蓉依言到厨房去整治了三色小菜。 洪七公右手持杯，左手拿着一只火腿脚爪慢慢啃着，说道：“常言道：物以类聚，人以群分。爱钱的财主是一帮，抢人钱财的绿林盗贼是一帮，我们乞讨残羹冷饭的叫化子也是一帮……”黄蓉拍手叫道：“我知道啦，我知道啦。那梁老怪叫你作'洪帮主'，原来你是乞儿帮的帮主。” 洪七公道：“正是。我们要饭的受人欺，被狗咬，不结成一伙，还有活命的份儿么？北边的百姓眼下暂且归金国管，南边的百姓归大宋皇帝管，可是天下的叫化儿啊……”黄蓉抢着道：“不论南北，都归你老人家管。”洪七公笑着点点头，说道：“正是。这根竹棒和这个葫芦，自唐末传到今日，已有好几百年，世世代代由丐帮的帮主执掌，就好像皇帝小子的玉玺、做官的金印一般。” 黄蓉伸了伸舌头，道：“亏得你没给我。”洪七公笑问：“怎么？”黄蓉道：“要是天下的小叫化都找着我，要我管他们的事，那可有多糟糕？”洪七公叹道：“你的话一点儿也不错。我生性疏懒，这丐帮帮主当起来着实麻烦，可是又找不到托付之人，只好就这么将就着对付了。” 黄蓉道：“因此那梁老怪才怕得你这么厉害，要是天下的叫化子都跟他为难，可真不好受。每个叫化子在身上捉一个虱子放在他头颈里，痒也痒死了他。”洪七公和郭靖哈哈大笑。笑了一阵，洪七公道：“他怕我，倒不是为了这个。”黄蓉忙问：“那为了甚么？”洪七公道：“约莫二十年前，他正在干一件坏事，给我撞见啦。”黄蓉问道：“甚么坏事？”洪七公踌躇道：“这老怪信了甚么采阴补阳的邪说，找了许多处女来，破了他们的身子，说可以长生不老。”黄蓉问道：“怎么破了处女身子？” 黄蓉之母在生产她时因难产而死，是以她自小由父亲养大。黄药师因陈玄风、梅超风叛师私逃，一怒而将其余徒弟挑断筋脉，驱逐出岛。桃花岛上就只剩下几名哑仆。黄蓉从来没听年长女子说过男女之事，她与郭靖情意相投，但觉和他在一起时心中说不出的喜悦甜美，只要和他分开片刻，就感寂寞难受。她只知男女结为夫妻就永不分离，是以心中早把郭靖看作丈夫，但夫妻间的闺房之事，却是全然不知。 她这么一问，洪七公一时倒是难以回答。黄蓉又问：“破了处女的身子，是杀了她们吗？”洪七公道：“不是。一个女子受了这般欺侮，有时比给他杀了还要痛苦，有人说'失节事大，饿死事小'，就是这个意思了。”黄蓉茫然不解，问道：“是用刀子割去耳朵鼻子么？”洪七公笑骂：“呸！也不是。傻丫头，你回家问妈妈去。”黄蓉道：“我妈妈早死啦。”洪七公“啊”了一声，道：“你将来和这傻小子洞房花烛夜时，总会懂得了。”黄蓉红了脸，撅起小嘴道：“你不说算啦。”这时才明白这是羞耻之事，又问：“你撞见梁老怪正在干这坏事，后来怎样？” 洪七公见她不追问那件事，如释重负，呼了一口气道：“那我自然要管哪。这家伙给我拿住了，狠狠打了一顿，拔下了他满头白发，逼着他把那些姑娘们送还家去，还要他立下重誓，以后不得再有这等恶行，要是再被我撞见，叫他求生不能，求死不得。听说这些年来他倒也没敢再犯，是以今日饶了他性命。他奶奶的，他的头发长起了没有？”黄蓉格的一声笑，说道：“又长起啦！满头头发硬生生给你拔个干净，可真够他痛的了。”
三人吃过了饭。黄蓉道：“七公，现下你就算把竹棒给我，我也不敢要啦，不过我们总不能一辈子跟你在一起。要是下次再碰见那姓梁的。他说：'好，小丫头，前次你仗着洪帮主的势，用竹棒打我，今日我可要报仇啦。我拔光了你的头发！'那我们怎么办？先前靖哥哥跟这老怪动手，来来去去就只这么一招'亢龙有悔'，威力无穷，果然不错，可不是太嫌寒蠢了些么？那老怪心里定是在说：'洪帮主自己武功深不可测，教起徒儿来却是平平无奇。'” 洪七公笑道：“你危言耸听，又出言激我，只不过要我再教你们两人功夫。你乖乖的多烧些好菜，七公总不会让你们吃亏。”黄蓉大喜，拉着洪七公又到松林之中。 洪七公把“降龙十八掌”中的第二招“飞龙在天”教了郭靖。这一招跃起半空，居高下击，威力奇大，郭靖花了三天工夫，方才学会。在这三天之中，洪七公又多尝了十几味珍馐美馔，黄蓉却没再磨他教甚么功夫，只须他肯尽量传授郭靖，便已心满意足。 如此一月有余，洪七公已将“降龙十八掌”中的十五掌传给了郭靖，自“亢龙有悔”一直传到了“龙战于野”。 这降龙十八掌乃洪七公生平绝学，一半得自师授，一半是自行参悟出来，虽然招数有限，但每一招均具绝大威力。当年在华山绝顶与王重阳、黄药师等人论剑之时，这套掌法尚未完全练成，但王重阳等言下对这掌法已极为称道。后来他常常叹息，只要早几年致力于此，那么“武功天下第一”的名号，或许不属于全真教主王重阳而属于他了。他本想只传两三招掌法给郭靖，已然足可保身，哪知黄蓉烹调的功夫实在高明，奇珍妙味，每日里层出不穷，使他无法舍之而去，日复一日，竟然传授了十五招之多。郭靖虽然悟性不高，但只要学到一点一滴，就日夜钻研习练，把这十五掌掌法学得颇为到家，只是火候尚远为不足而已，一个多月之间，武功前后已判若两人。 这日洪七公吃了早点，叹道：“两个娃娃，咱三人已相聚了一个多月，这就该分手啦。”黄蓉道：“啊，不成，我还有很多小菜没烧给您老人家吃呢。”洪七公道：“天下没不散的筵席，却有吃不完的菜肴。老叫化一生从没教过人三天以上的武功，这一次一教教了三十多天，再教下去，唉，那是乖乖不得了。”黄蓉道：“怎么啊？”洪七公道：“我的看家本领要给你们学全啦。”黄蓉道：“好人做到底，你把十八路掌法全传了他，岂不甚美？”洪七公啐道：“呸，你们小两口子就美得不得了，老叫化可不美啦。” 黄蓉心中着急，转念头要使个甚么计策，让他把余下三招教全了郭靖，哪知洪七公负起葫芦，再不说第二句话，竟自扬长而去。 郭靖忙追上去，洪七公身法好快，一瞬眼已不见了踪影。郭靖追到松林，大叫道：“七公，七公！”黄蓉也随后追来，跟着大叫。 只见松林边人影一晃，洪七公走了过来，骂道：“你们两个臭娃娃，尽缠着我干甚么？要想我再教，那是难上加难。”郭靖道：“您老教了这许多，弟子已是心满意足，哪敢再贪，只是未曾叩谢您老恩德。”说着跪了下去，砰砰砰砰的连磕了几个响头。 洪七公脸色一变，喝道：“住着。我教你武功，那是吃了她的小菜，付的价钱，咱们可没师徒名分。”倏的跪下，向郭靖磕下头去。 郭靖大骇，忙又跪下还礼。洪七公手一伸，已点中他胁下穴道。郭靖双膝微曲，动弹不得。洪七公向着他也磕了四个头，这才解开他穴道，说道：“记着，可别说你向我磕过头，是我弟子。”郭靖这才知他脾气古怪，不敢再说。 黄蓉叹道：“七公，你待我们这样好，现下又要分别了。我本想将来见到你，再烧小菜请你吃，只怕……只怕……唉，这件事未必能够如愿。”洪七公问道：“为甚么？”黄蓉道：“要跟我们为难的对头很多，除了那个参仙老怪之外，还有不少坏家伙。总有一天，我两个会死在人家手下。”洪七公微笑道：“死就死好了，谁不死呢？” 黄蓉摇头道：“死倒不打紧。我最怕他们捉住了我，知道我曾跟你学过武艺，又曾烧菜给你吃，于是逼着我也把'玉笛谁家听落梅'、'二十四桥明月夜'那些好菜，一味味的煮给他们吃，不免堕了你老人家的威名。” 洪七公明知她是以言语相激，但想到有人逼着她烧菜，而这等绝妙的滋味自己居然尝不到，却也忍不住大为生气，问道：“那些家伙是谁？”黄蓉道：“有一个是黄河老怪沙通天，他的吃相再也难看不过。我那些好小菜不免全让他糟蹋了。”洪七公摇头道：“沙通天有啥屁用？郭靖这傻小子再练得一两年就胜过他了，不用怕。”黄蓉又说了藏僧灵智、彭连虎两人的姓名，洪七公都说：“有啥屁用？”待黄蓉说到白驼山少主欧阳克时，洪七公微微一怔，详询此人出手和身法的模样，听黄蓉说后，点头道：“果然是他！” 黄蓉见他神色严重，道：“这人很厉害吗？”洪七公道：“欧阳克有啥屁用？他叔叔老毒物这才厉害。”黄蓉道：“老毒物？他再厉害，总厉害不过你老人家。” 洪七公不语，沉思良久，说道：“本来也差不多，可是过了这二十来年……二十来年，他用功比我勤，不像老叫化这般好吃懒练。嘿嘿，当真要胜过老叫化，却也没这么容易。”黄蓉道：“那一定胜不过你老人家。” 洪七公摇头道：“这也未必，大家走着瞧吧。好，老毒物欧阳锋的侄儿既要跟你为难，咱们可不能太大意了。老叫化再吃你半个月的小菜。咱们把话说在前头，这半个月之中，只要有一味菜吃了两次，老叫化拍拍屁股就走。” 黄蓉大喜，有心要显显本事，所煮的菜肴固然绝无重复，连面食米饭也是极逞智巧，没一餐相同，锅贴、烧卖、蒸饺、水饺、炒饭、汤饭、年糕、花卷、米粉、豆丝，花样竟是变幻无穷。洪七公也打叠精神，指点郭、黄两人临敌应变、防身保命之道。只是“降龙十八掌”那余下的三招却也没再传授。郭靖于降龙十五掌固然领会更多，而自江南六怪所学的武艺招术，也凭空增加了不少威力。洪七公于三十五岁之前武功甚杂，练过的拳法掌法着实不少，这时尽拣些希奇古怪的拳脚来教黄蓉，其实也只是跟她逗趣，花样虽是百出，说到克敌制胜的威力却远不及那老老实实的十五招“降龙十八掌”了。黄蓉也只图个好玩，并不专心致志的去学。 一日傍晚，郭靖在松林中习练掌法。黄蓉捡拾松仁，说道要加上竹笋与酸梅，做一味别出心裁的小菜，名目已然有了，叫作“岁寒三友”。洪七公只听得不住吞馋涎，突然转身，轻轻“噫”的一声，俯身在草丛中一捞，两根手指夹住一条两尺来长的青蛇提了起来。黄蓉刚叫得一声：“蛇！”洪七公左掌在她肩头轻轻一推，将她推出数尺之外。 草丛簌簌响动，又有几条蛇窜出，洪七公竹杖连挥，每一下都
