Chapter 27 The twenty-seventh round in front of Xuanyuan Terrace
The two were having a quarrel, and there was a sound of stairs, the three elders of the beggar gang who followed Yang Kang down just now came back up, walked to Guo and Huang's table, and saluted.The beggar in the center is white and fat, with a big white beard. If it wasn't for the numerous patches on his body, he would look like a gentleman and rich man. That old beggar surnamed Lu secretly murdered the two of you, I couldn't see it, so I came here to save you."
Guo Jing and Huang Rong were taken aback, and they asked together: "What poisonous hand?" The beggar said: "The old beggar refuses to eat and drink with the two of you, is he?" Poisoned in the food?" The beggar sighed: "It is also unfortunate in our gang that there are such treacherous people. This old beggar is very good at poisoning, as long as he flicks his finger lightly, the poison hidden in his nails will be released." Unknowingly, they got mixed into the food and drink. The two of you are already deeply poisoned, and after half an hour, there will be no way to save them." Huang Rong didn't believe it, and said, "We have no enmity with him, why is he Do you want to make such a murderous move?" The beggar said: "Probably the two words offended him. Take this antidote quickly and you will be saved." He took out a pack of medicine fungus from his bosom and put it in two wine glasses , washed it with wine, and asked Jing and Rong to drink it immediately.
When Huang Rong saw Yang Kang walking with them just now, she already had doubts in her heart, how could she rashly take the medicine just based on his few words?He asked again: "That gentleman surnamed Yang is acquainted with us, how about inviting the three of you to come and see him?" The beggar said: "Of course we want to meet, but the poison that the traitor put down was extremely violent, and the two of you quickly Take the antidote, otherwise it will be difficult to cure the delay." Huang Rong said: "Thank you very much for your kindness, and I will sit down and have a few drinks together. I think that the eleventh generation leader of the Beggar Clan fought alone in Beigu Mountain. What a hero to shoot and kill the five tyrants of Luoyang." That day when he, Hong Qigong and Guo Jing were building a raft on Mingxia Island, Hong Qigong often told her some old things in the gang, so that she would not become the leader of the gang in the future. The big things are ignorant.The heroic deeds of the eleventh generation leader were told by Hong Qigong at that time.
The three elders of the Beggars' Clan looked at each other when they heard her suddenly talking about the past of the Clan Leader, they were all very surprised, thinking how could she know about this given her young age.Huang Rong said again: "Master Hong's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are unparalleled in the world, I wonder how many palms you three have learned?" The faces of the three beggars showed embarrassment, but the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were not taught by the gang leader. Li Sheng, who is not as good as the eight-pocket disciple, has to teach the "Dragon Wagging Tail" move.Huang Rong said again: "Even though Elder Lu said he was good at poisoning, I think his ability is not bad. Last month, West Poison Ouyang Feng invited me to drink three cups of poisoned wine, and that's how he learned. These two cups of detoxification wine , the three of you should drink it by yourself." As he spoke, he pushed two cups of medicinal wine mixed with medicinal powder in front of the three beggars.The three beggars changed color slightly, knowing that she was talking nonsense on purpose and refused to take the medicine.
The elder who looked like a rich man smiled and said: "Since the girl is suspicious, it is naturally inconvenient for us to force each other. It's just that our good intentions were in vain. I only point out one thing, and the girl is naturally convinced. Just look at me What's different in his eyes?" Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at his eyes together, and saw his eyes were embedded in the fat of his round face, like two thin slits, but there was light shining in the slits. His eyes are very clear.Huang Rong thought to herself: "What's the difference? The left and right are just like a pair of shiny pig's eyes." The beggar said again: "You two look at my eyes, and you must not be distracted. Now you feel heavy eyelids and brains Dizzy, the whole body is tired and weak, this is a sign of poisoning, then close your eyes and go to sleep."
He spoke very pleasantly and pleasantly, he seemed to want to be intoxicated, Jing and Rong really felt tired and sleepy, and their whole body was weak.Huang Rong felt something was wrong, and wanted to turn her head to avoid his gaze, but her eyes seemed to be attracted by his gaze, and she couldn't help staring at him.The beggar said again: "This room is facing the big lake, it's very cool, the two of you should take a deep sleep in the breeze, sleep, sleep! It's very comfortable, sleep obediently!" The more he talked, the louder his voice became. It is soft and sweet.Jing and Rong unknowingly yawned again and again, and fell asleep on the table.
I don't know how much time has passed, the two of them felt the cool wind blowing in a daze, their bodies were chilly, and there seemed to be the sound of waves in their ears. When they opened their eyes, they saw a bright moon in the clouds and mist just passing behind the mountain in the east. rising.The surprise of the two of them was not small, just now they were drinking in Yueyang Tower in broad daylight, how could it be dark in an instant?When he was about to stand up in a drowsy state, he realized that his hands and feet were bound by ropes. He opened his mouth to breathe out, but his mouth was stuffed with numb numbness, which made his mouth and tongue hurt.Huang Rong immediately knew that she had followed the tricks of the fat white beggar, but it was hard to figure out what kind of evil method he was using; she didn't think about it for a while, and saw Guo Jing lying beside her, struggling hard, first My heart was relieved. Guo Jing's inner strength was strong at this time, even the toughest ropes would be snapped by him, but at this moment his hands and feet were moving vigorously, the ropes on his body were clanking, but not a single thread was damaged, it turned out to be made of cowhide strips mixed with steel wires.Guo Jing wanted to wait for more internal energy, suddenly his face turned cold, a piece of cold sword edge patted his cheek lightly twice, turned his head and looked sideways, and saw four young beggars, each holding a weapon guarding Beside him, he had no choice but to stop struggling and turned to look at Huang Rong. Huang Rong made up her mind, she had to find out the situation around her first, and then find a way to get out, she turned sideways, she was even more shocked, it turned out that she was on the top of a small peak, under the moonlight she could see clearly, everything was everywhere The lake water, light smoke and mist, shrouded thousands of hectares of blue waves, and thought: "So we have been captured to the top of Junshan in Dongting Lake, why didn't we feel it on the way?" Turning around, I saw a high platform more than ten feet away. , Hundreds of beggars were sitting densely around the platform, everyone was silent, the moonlight had not yet shined on everyone, so they didn't notice it at the beginning.She secretly rejoiced: "Ah, yes, today is the 15th day of the seventh month. This is the meeting of the Beggars' Clan. I just need to try to speak and pass down Master's orders. Why worry about the beggars' disobedience?" After a long time, there was still no movement from the group of beggars. Huang Rong felt very impatient, but she couldn't move, she could only bear with it. After half an hour, her hands and feet did not move, and she felt a slight numbness. Zhongtian illuminated half of the high platform.Huang Rong said in her heart: "Li Taibai's poem says: 'Sweep the clear lake to open the jade mirror, and the painting is Junshan. It's really annoying and funny!" The moonlight moved slowly and illuminated three large characters on the side of the stage: "Xuanyuan Terrace".Huang Rong remembered that her father told the story of the great rivers and lakes in the world. It was said that the Yellow Emperor cast a tripod by the Dongting Lake, and after the tripod was completed, he ascended to heaven on a dragon. He wanted to come here to commemorate this event. It was only time for a cup of tea, and the high platform was completely bathed in the bright moon. Suddenly, three beeps of duk tuk and duk tuk could be heard stopping at a time, slow and fast, high and low, quite rhythmic, but It's the beggars each holding a small stick and knocking on the rock in front of them. Huang Rong secretly counted the knocking sounds, and when the count reached ninety-nine and eighty-one, the sound stopped abruptly, four people stood up from the group of beggars, under the moonlight they could clearly see that they were Lu Youjiao and the three from the Clean Clothes Sect. elders.The four elders of the Beggar Clan walked to the four corners of Xuanyuan Terrace and stood still. The group of beggars stood up together, crossed their hands on their chests, and bowed in salute. The fat old beggar waited for the group of beggars to sit down, and said loudly: "Brothers, it's a disaster for the beggars' gang, it's really a disaster, our leader Hong has passed away in Lin'an Mansion!" As soon as this remark came out, the group of beggars fell silent.Suddenly one opened his mouth and yelled, and fell to the ground.A group of beggars beat their chests and feet, and wailed loudly. The wailing vibrated the trees and spread far from the lake. Guo Jing was shocked: "We couldn't find Master, so he passed away." He couldn't help crying, but his mouth was numb and he couldn't cry.But Huang Rong thought: "This fat man is not a good guy, he made the evil law catch us. How can we trust this man's words? He must be spreading rumors." The group of beggars mourned Hong Qigong's kindness, and they all cried out in grief.Lu Youjiao suddenly shouted: "Elder Peng, who saw the lord die with his own eyes?" The fat and white Elder Peng said: "Elder Lu, if the old lord is still alive, who would eat a leopard? Dare to curse him? The person who saw his old man die with his own eyes is here. Yang Xianggong, please tell the brothers in detail." Only one person stood up in the crowd, it was Yang Kang. Holding a green bamboo stick, he walked up to the high platform, the group of beggars became silent immediately, but the sound of weeping and whimpering could not stop.Yang Kang said slowly: "Master Hong had a martial arts competition in Lin'an Mansion a month ago, unfortunately he missed and was beaten to death." Hearing this, the group of beggars became furious and shouted: "Who is the enemy? Tell me, tell me!" "The leader is so supernatural, how could he miss?" "The enemy must be besieged on a large scale. We are outnumbered." Hearing Yang Kang's words, Guo Jing turned from sadness to anger, and then he was overjoyed, thinking: "Master was with us a month ago, so he was talking nonsense." Huang Rong thought: "This kid He is the private disciple of the old liar Qiu Qianren, and he has learned his stinky kung fu of falsely spreading the news of death." Yang Kang stretched out his hands, and waited for the beggars to calm down, then he said: "The ones who killed the Clan Master were Dongxie Huang Yaoshi, the master of Peach Blossom Island, and the seven thieves from the Quanzhen Sect." Nineteen didn't know his name, but the Seventh Son of Quanzhen was famous far and wide.Those who can come to Junshan to attend the meeting today are not ordinary people in the Beggar Clan. Naturally, they all know the abilities of the Seven Masters. If one person is alone, he is not his enemy.Everyone was extremely sad and angry at the moment.Some cursed loudly, and some clamored to avenge the gang leader immediately. It turned out that Yang Kang heard from Ouyang Feng that day that Hong Qigong was wounded by his toad kung fu, his life would be in danger.He also said that Guo Jing had already been stabbed to death by himself in the Forbidden Palace, but he suddenly bumped into him in Yueyang Tower, he was shocked and ordered the three elders of the Beggar Clan to try to capture the two of them, intending to kill them.He thought that this matter would be leaked over time, and Huang Yaoshi, Quanzhen Seven Sons, Jiangnan Six Monsters and others would seek revenge on him.The six monsters are not very skilled in martial arts, so they are not very afraid, but Dongxie and the seven sons are no small matter, so they lightly put the blame for killing Hong Qigong on them, so that the gang of beggars will come out in full force, and take down Peach Blossom Island and the others in one fell swoop. The Quanzhen sect chose, except for his own serious trouble. Amidst the commotion of the beggars, Elder Donglu Jian stood up and said, "Brothers, listen to me." This man has white eyebrows and a short stature. Prestige.I just heard him say: "Right now we have two important matters. The first is to obey the leader's will and enshrine the nineteenth generation leader of the gang. The second is to discuss how to avenge the leader." The group of beggars shouted loudly yes.But Lu Youjiao said loudly: "Let's pay homage to the heroic spirit of the old gang leader first." He grabbed a handful of wet soil from the ground, made a clay figurine, and put it on the edge of Xuanyuan Terrace as Hong Qigong's spirit statue. He fell to the ground and cried loudly.All the beggars let out a cry of grief. Huang Rong thought to herself: "My master is alive and well, why are you beggars crying? Hmph, you tied brother Jing and me here for no reason, and made you sad for nothing. You deserve it. " All the beggars cried for a while, Elder Jian clapped their hands three times, and all the beggars stopped crying one by one.Elder Jian said: "Brothers from all walks of life in this gang held a meeting in Junshan, Yuezhou today. The purpose was to listen to Lord Hong to appoint his successor to the old man. Now that the old leader has passed away unfortunately, it has to be decided according to the old leader's will. If there is no will, it will be jointly recommended by the four elders of the gang. This is the rule passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the gang, brothers, are you right?" All the beggars said yes.Elder Peng said: "Mr. Yang, when the old gang leader passed away, please tell me what will be ordered." Appointing the leader of the beggar gang is the most important thing in the beggar gang. The success or failure of the beggar gang depends more than half on whether the gang leader is virtuous and capable.At that time, the seventeenth generation leader of the Qian Gang was weak and cowardly. Although his martial arts were high, he did not handle things properly.It wasn't until Hong Qigong took over as the head of the gang and forcibly suppressed the two factions to prevent internal strife, that the beggar gang was able to regain its glory in the arena.All the beggars in the meeting today knew about these past events, so when they heard that they were going to enshrine a clan leader, everyone concentrated and held their breath. Yang Kang held the green bamboo stick in both hands, raised it high above the top, and said loudly: "The leader of Gang Hong was besieged by traitors and was seriously injured. , Immediately invited a famous doctor to treat Lord Hong carefully, but the injury was too serious to be saved." Hearing this, all the beggars let out a sigh.Yang Kang paused for a moment, and then said: "When Clan Master Hong was dying, he gave this bamboo stick to me, and ordered me to take over the important task of the nineteenth generation Clan Leader." , would entrust it to such a man who looked like a son of a son. Yang Kang accidentally obtained a green bamboo stick from Qu Shagu's shop in Niujia Village, Lin'an, and saw that the fat and thin beggars were very respectful to him.Surprised in his heart, he didn't reveal the slightest word to the two beggars along the way, but went around in circles and asked about the origin of the bamboo stick.When the second beggar saw that he had a bamboo stick in his hand, he would answer every question he had, and he knew everything he wanted to say, so before he arrived in Yuezhou, he already knew sixty-seven out of ten of the inside story of the beggar gang, but the strict rules of the gang were not allowed. As an outsider's secret, he didn't know how to ask questions, and the two beggars didn't mention it.He thought that the Beggars' Sect was very powerful and the leader had great authority. Anyway, Hong Qigong was dead and there was no proof.He calculated carefully several times, and felt that there was no flaw in this plan, so he made up a set of lies, and actually spread Hong Qigong's death in the meeting, intending to identify himself as the leader of the gang. He spoke frankly in front of hundreds of heroes of the beggar gang, without blushing, and without stagnation in his speech, knowing that if this lie is exposed, most of them will be beaten to pieces by the beggars on the spot, but those who want to make a big deal come true He must take some strange risks, not to mention that Hong Qigong is dead, the green bamboo staff is in his hand, Guo Jing and Huang Rong have been captured, the dangers he takes are actually not that great, but once he becomes the leader of the sect, there are innumerable benefits. This gang of beggars has thousands of members, and it can be used as a stepping stone for future "unlimited wealth and honor". The three elders Jian, Peng and Liang of the Jingyi School heard Yang Kang's words, and they all had smiles on their faces. It turns out that the beggar gang is divided into two factions, the clean clothes faction and the dirty clothes faction.Apart from wearing patched beggar's uniforms, the Jingyi faction is no different from ordinary people in daily life. These people were originally heroes in the world, either admired the chivalrous deeds of the beggar gang, or made friends with the disciples of the gang and devoted themselves to it. Beggars are not really beggars.The Dirty Clothes faction really lived by begging and strictly abided by the precepts: they were not allowed to use money for shopping, they were not allowed to eat at the same table with outsiders, and they were not allowed to fight with people who did not know martial arts.The two factions each hold one end and have endless disputes.In order to show impartiality and selflessness, Hong Qigong wore clean clothes in the first year and dirty clothes in the second year, so that he rotated year by year, and he was not biased against the clean clothes and dirty clothes.Originally, begging in dirty clothes is the true nature of the beggar gang, but Hong Qigong loves to drink and eat, and it is difficult for him to beg for leftovers and cold food to satisfy his hunger, so he himself cannot strictly abide by the dirty clothes sect precepts.But among the four elders, he relied on Lu Youjiao the most. If Lu Youjiao hadn't been irritable and had broken up major events several times, Hong Qigong would have designated him as the successor of the clan leader. At the Yuezhou General Assembly, the beggars of the Jingyi Sect had been very worried for a long time, they wanted to inherit the sect leader, when it comes to morality, martial arts, and popularity, Lu Youjiao must most likely be none other than Lu Youjiao.What's more, although the Clean Clothes Sect has three of the four elder elders in the gang, the Dirty Clothes Sect has the majority of middle and lower class disciples.The third elder of the Jingyi Sect thought of various countermeasures, but considering Hong Qigong's prestige, no one dared to make any changes. Later, seeing Yang Kang coming to Yuezhou with a bamboo stick, and hearing that Hong Qigong was dead, Although he couldn't help feeling sad, he thought it was a good opportunity to overwhelm the Stained Clothes faction, so he immediately accepted Yang Kang's intentions and was very respectful, trying to find out about Qigong's last will.Unexpectedly, Yang Kang is very obedient, fearing that there will be changes, he never mentions the will, and he didn't announce it until the meeting.Knowing that they have no role, the three elders of the Clean Clothes Sect are not disappointed, as long as Lu Youjiao does not serve as the leader of the sect, they fulfill their wish, thinking that Yang Kang is young, so he can be lured to submit.What's more, he dresses gorgeously and eats exquisitely, and he will never be partial to the dirty clothes school.The three of them looked at each other and nodded. Elder Jian said: "The thing held by Mr. Yang is indeed a sacred object of our clan. If you have any doubts, brothers, please come forward and have a look." Lu Youjiao looked sideways at Yang Kang, and thought: "You are also worthy to be the leader of this gang, leading all beggar gangs in the world?" He reached out to take the bamboo stick, and saw that the stick was green and crystal clear, it was passed down from generation to generation by the leader of this gang. I thought to myself: "Master Hong must be grateful for the virtue of saving each other, so he passed it on to him. Since the old master has a will, how dare we not obey it? I will help him with all sincerity and loyalty, and don't fall into the hands of Master Hong." His foundation." So he raised the staff over the top with both hands, handed the bamboo staff back to Yang Kang respectfully, and said in a loud voice: "We will follow the old leader's will, and regard Yang Xianggong as the nineteenth generation leader of the gang." All the beggars Cheers in unison. Guo Jing and Huang Rong couldn't move their bodies, they couldn't speak, but they were crying secretly in their hearts.Guo Jing thought to himself: "Sure enough, as Island Master Huang expected, Yang Kang dared to pretend to be the leader of the gang, and he would definitely cause serious disasters in the future." .” I only heard Yang Kangqian say: "I am young and incompetent, immoral and incompetent, but I dare not take this important position." Elder Peng said: "The master Hong's death is like this, so Yang Xianggong does not need to be too modest. All the brothers are united to help, Yang Xianggong can rest assured Yes." Lu Youjiao said: "Exactly!" With a cough, a mouthful of thick phlegm was spit in his face. This move was beyond Yang Kang's expectation, he didn't dodge it, the spit of phlegm happened to stick on his right cheek.He was taken aback, and was about to ask questions, when the three elders, Jian, Peng, and Liang spit on him.Yang Kang secretly shouted: "My life is over!" Only Tao's conspiracy was finally uncovered by the Fourth Elder, and he was about to turn around and run away, knowing that escape would be better than waiting for death, but he saw the Fourth Elder folded his hands on his chest and bowed to the ground .Yang Kang was stunned, speechless for a moment.The group of beggars came up to spit on him one by one according to their seniority, and then each performed a big gift in the gang.Yang Kang was full of surprises, and secretly wondered: "Spitting on me is considered respectful?" He didn't know the rules of the Beggars' Sect, and he had to spit at the leader when he appointed him.Gaiyin Huazi begged everywhere and was humiliated by thousands of people. As the elder of the group of beggars, he must first be humiliated by the gang, which has a deep meaning. Huang Rong suddenly remembered that on Mingxia Island, Hong Qigong spat on the corner of her clothes when he passed on the position of Clan Leader. The etiquette of the lord.I remember that day Hong Qigong said again: "In the future, all the beggars will formally see you, and there will inevitably be another dirty thing. Alas, this is hard for you." He is willing to take the position of the leader of the gang, so he will not tell the truth. After a long time, the group of beggars finished their salutes and shouted together: "Master Yang, please come to Xuanyuan Terrace!" Yang Kang saw that the platform was not very tall, he wanted to show off his skills, he flew up with his feet a little bit, his posture was agile, it was very wonderful.Although his jumping technique is good, but the four elders have their own pure attainments in martial arts, they have seen that his kung fu is flashy and his foundation is still shallow, it's just that he is very young, with this ability, it is obvious that he has been taught by a master. It is also quite rare. Yang Kang boarded the Xuanyuan Terrace, and said in a clear voice: "Although the culprit who killed the old gang leader has not been executed, I have captured the two accomplices here." When the beggars heard this, they were all in an uproar again, shouting: "Where are the culprits?" Where is it?" "Quickly use a random knife to dismember the body." "Don't kill it with a single knife, and let the dog thief suffer piecemeal." Guo Jing thought to himself: "He has captured any accomplices, let's see." Yang Kang sternly Said: "Bring it to the stage!" Elder Peng quickly walked up to Guo and Huang, picked them up one by one in each hand, walked to the front of the stage and threw them heavily on the ground.Only then did Guo Jing come to his senses, and cursed in his heart: "My boy, you were talking about us." Seeing that it was Jing and Rong, Lu Youjiao was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I would like to report to the leader: These two are disciples of the old leader, how can they harm Master?" Yang Kang said bitterly: "Because of this, it is even more terrible. Annoyed. These two people deceived their teachers and destroyed their ancestors, and committed a heinous crime." Elder Peng said: "Guangzhu Yang witnessed it with his own eyes, so how could there be anything wrong?" Li Sheng and Yu Zhaoxing, two members of the beggar gang, helped Cheng Yaojia in Baoying County, and almost killed Ouyang Ke's subordinates. Fortunately, Guo Jing and Huang Rong rescued them. I like it very much, and immediately rushed forward in the crowd.Li Sheng shouted: "I would like to report to the leader of the gang, these two are chivalrous heroes, the younger one dared to save his life, and the murder of the old leader has absolutely nothing to do with them." Yu Zhaoxing shouted: "These two are good people, the older one Good friends." Elder Liang glared and shouted: "I have something to say to you elders, is there a place for you to intervene here?" Li and Yu belong to the dirty clothes sect, and Lu Youjiao should take care of it.The two were of lower seniority, they dared not speak any more, and retreated angrily. Lu Youjiao said: "It's just that I dare not believe the words of the gang leader, because this is a major matter of revenge for the gang, please ask the gang leader to investigate carefully and find out the truth." Yang Kang had already made up his mind, and said, "Okay, I'll ask to clarify." He said to Jing and Rong, "You don't have to answer. If I'm right, just nod your head. If you're not right, shake your head. If there's even a little deception Don't blame the sword for being ruthless." With a wave of his hand, Elder Peng and Elder Liang each drew their weapons and put them on the backs of Jing and Rong.Elder Peng wields a sword and Elder Liang wields a saber, both of which are sharp weapons. Huang Rong was extremely angry, her face was pale, she thought of how she nodded and shook her head when she heard Lu Guanying propose marriage to Cheng Yaojia next door in Niujia Village, how beautiful it was at that time, but today it happened to her, but she was bullied by this traitor.He also thought that he had played this trick with Ouyang Ke before, unexpectedly he would suffer this retribution, even though he was annoyed, he still thought about how to arouse Lu Youjiao's doubts while nodding and shaking his head, so that he insisted on answering questions verbally, as long as there is If you can speak, it is not difficult to expose Yang Kang's conspiracy. Knowing that Guo Jing was honest and easy to fool, Yang Kang lifted him up and put him aside, and asked loudly, "This woman is Huang Yaoshi's biological daughter, isn't she?" Guo Jing closed his eyes and ignored him.Elder Liang stabbed him on the back with a knife, and shouted: "Yes or no, nod or shake his head?" nodded. The group of beggars believed that Huang Yaoshi was the chief culprit who killed Hong Qigong. Seeing him nodding, they shouted loudly: "What are you asking? Kill quickly, kill quickly!" account." Yang Kang shouted: "Brothers, don't make noise, wait until I ask him." When the beggars heard the order from the leader, they immediately fell silent. Yang Kang asked Guo Jing, "Huang Yaoshi betrothed his daughter to you, right?" Guo Jing thought it was true, and nodded again.Yang Kang bent down to touch him, pulled out a gleaming dagger, and asked, "This is given to you by Qiu Chuji, one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen. That old man Qiu also engraved your name on the dagger, right?" ?” Guo Jing nodded.Yang Kang asked again: "Ma Yu, one of the Quanzhen Seven Masters, once taught you Kung Fu, and Wang Chuyi once saved your life, can you deny it?" Guo Jing thought, "Why should I deny it?" He nodded again .Yang Kangdao: "Hong Qigong, Chief Hong thought you two were good people, and passed on his unique skills to others, didn't you?" Guo Jing nodded.Yang Kang asked again: "Old leader Hong was conspired by the enemy and was seriously injured. The two of you are beside him, right?" Guo Jing nodded again.Huang Rong was anxious: "Silly brother, no matter what he asks is right or not, if you keep shaking your head, he will have to let you talk." The beggars heard Yang Kang's voice becoming more and more serious, but Guo Jing couldn't help nodding, only saying that he confessed the crime, but they didn't realize that these questions had nothing to do with the assassination of Hong Qigong, it was all Yang Kang's treacherous frame.At this time, even Lu Youjiao hated Jing and Rong to the core, stepped forward, and kicked Guo Jing several times.Yang Kang shouted: "Brothers, these two little thieves are quite straightforward, so let's save them from suffering. Elders Peng and Liang, hurry up!" Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at each other sadly.Huang Rong suddenly smiled, thinking: "Brother Jing and I died together, not that Hua Zheng! It's clean to die like this. Anyway, it's raining heavily ahead, so there's no need to run." Guo Jing looked up at the sky and thought of his mother who was far away in the desert. He stared north and saw Yuyu, the Big Dipper, shining brightly. He thought suddenly, and thought of the battle between the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, Mei Chaofeng and Huang Yaoshi. When a person is about to die, his mind is particularly sharp, and the offensive and defensive retreat of Tiangang Beidou formation, hesitating and opening, are actually clearly in front of him. Elders Peng and Liang held their sabers straight, they came forward to strike, when Lu Youjiao suddenly rushed forward, blocking Jing and Rong, shouting: "Hold on!" He took out the numb numbness in Guo Jing's mouth, and asked "How did the old gang leader get killed? Tell me clearly." Yang Kang hurriedly said, "You don't need to ask, I know everything." All the traitors related to this matter must not let go!" Yang Kang secretly worried, thinking that once he explained the truth to him, there would definitely be a change, but Lu Youjiao's persecution was justified, but it was inconvenient to stop him. Beads of sweat ooze out. Unexpectedly, although the numb numbness in Guo Jing's mouth was taken out, he still remained silent, staring up at the northern sky, lost in thought.Lu Youjiao asked several times, but Guo Jing didn't hear him at all. It turned out that he was engrossed, but he was studying the kung fu of Tiangang Beidou Formation. At this time, he was concentrating on it like a madman.How can he pay attention to Lu Youjiao's words?Seeing that he didn't take this opportunity to defend himself, Huang Rong and Yang Kang were both extremely surprised, they were just secretly sad and happy, their moods were quite different. Yang Kang waved his hand, and Peng and Liang raised their swords.Suddenly there was a chi-chi sound, and a purple flame swept across the lake.
Peng and Liang looked back in astonishment, and saw two blue flames shooting up into the sky. These flames were about several miles away from Junshan Mountain, and they came from the center of the lake.Elder Jian said: "Master, a distinguished guest has arrived." Yang Kang was startled, and asked: "Who is it?" Elder Jian said: "The leader of the Iron Palm Gang." Gang gang?" Elder Jian said: "This is a big gang in Sichuan and Hunan, and their gang masters come to pay homage to the mountain, so they must be well received. These two little thieves will be dealt with soon." Yang Kang said: "That's fine, just Elder Jian, please wait to pick up the guests." Elder Jian passed down the order, and there were three bang bang bang, and three red rockets flew up from Junshan Island. After a while, when the boat docked, the group of beggars lit torches and stood up to meet them.Xuanyuan Terrace is at the top of Junshan Mountain, there is still a long way to go from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, although the visitors all have lightness kung fu, they will arrive after a while. Jing and Rong were brought into the crowd, and Elder Peng ordered his disciples to guard them.Huang Rong looked at Guo Jing, seeing him with a dull expression, looking up at the sky, murmuring what he was talking about incessantly, she was extremely surprised, expecting that he had suffered a great deal of injustice, and her sanity was a little confused, she thought that no matter who came, it would always be There was an opportunity, and just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the visitor had arrived, and under the torchlight, dozens of men in black came to the stage with an old man in their arms.This old man is wearing a yellow kudzu shirt and waving a cattail fan. Who is it but Qiu Qianren?Huang Rong was furious and funny, but she was also very disappointed. This person came here, absolutely nothing good will happen. Elder Jian went up to meet him, said a lot of Jianghu clichés, with an extremely respectful expression, then introduced to Yang Kang, and said: "This is the old leader of Qiu Qiu, who is invincible in the palm of his hand, and powerful in the world. This is my gang leader." Today's new leader Yang is a young hero. The two of you are very close." Yang Kang once saw Qiu Qianren making a fool of himself at the Guiyun Manor in Taihu Lake, and he looked down on him in his heart. He thought to himself that this big liar was actually the leader of some gang, so he pretended not to know him and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you." , Nice to meet you." She reached out her hand to hold his hand.Clasping his palms together, Yang Kangli put all his strength into his hands, intending to make him cry out for mercy, thinking: "Everyone believes that you are excellent in martial arts, but I want you to fall into my hands. This is a godsend!" It’s a good opportunity for me, old man, to let me show my might in front of all the beggars.” Who would have thought that as soon as he exerted his strength, his palm felt extremely hot, as if he had grasped a piece of red coal, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, but the palm of his hand was already caught by the other party. Grasping firmly, the hotness seemed to be burning all the way to my heart, and I couldn't help shouting: "Ah!" Immediately, his face was pale, tears flowed, he bent down in pain, and almost fainted. Seeing this, the four elders of the Beggar Clan were shocked and rushed to protect them.Elder Jian was the head of the four elders. He struck the steel staff in his hand on the rock, and with a clang, sparks flew everywhere, and he said angrily, "Old Chief Qiu, you are a guest from afar. Our Chief Yang is young, how can you Can you compare his kung fu with him?" Qiu Qianren said coldly: "I'll hold hands with him. It was the leader of the Gui Gang who came to take the test first. The leader of the Yang Gang deliberately wants to crush my old bones." As he spoke, his hands did not loosen at all. When he said a word, Yang Kang said "Ouch", and when he finished these few words, Yang Kang's voice was weak, and he passed out from the pain. Qiu Qianren let go of his hand and waved it out, Yang Kang lost consciousness and fell straight out.Lu Youjiao hurriedly rushed to support him.Elder Jian said angrily: "Old Leader Qiu, you...you...what's your intention? It's simply unreasonable?" Qiu Qianren snorted, and slapped him on the face with his left palm.Elder Jian raised his steel rod to block.Qiu Qianren changed his moves extremely quickly, pressed down with his left hand, and grabbed the head of the steel staff. As soon as the edge of his palm touched the head of the stick, before he could grasp it tightly, he already snatched it inside.Elder Jian's martial arts skills are extraordinary, he was startled, and held on to the staff, but Qiu Qianren failed to snatch the staff, his right palm swung to the left suddenly like the wind, and hit the steel staff's waist with a bang.Elder Jian's hands were shattered, and the blood flowed profusely. He couldn't hold it anymore, and he snatched the steel rod.Qiu Qianren swung his stick backwards, parrying Peng and Liang's swords at the same time, when he retracted his stick, he slammed his right elbow into the door of Lu Youjiao's face, forcing all four elders of the Beggar Clan to leave in a moment.The group of beggars looked at each other in astonishment, each took their weapons, and waited for the leader's order to swarm up and fight with the Iron Palm Gang. Qiu Qianren held the head of the steel rod with his left hand, and the tail of the rod with his right hand, he let out a long laugh, secretly exerted strength with both hands, and shouted loudly, intending to break the steel rod in two.Unexpectedly, Elder Jian's steel stick was extremely tenacious after thousands of hammerings, it didn't break this time, but was bent down by his divine strength.Qiu Qianren gave up all his strength, and the steel rod slowly turned into an arc.The group of beggars were startled and angry, suddenly saw his left arm retracted, and then swung forward, the arc-shaped steel stick flew into the air, and shot at the opposite mountain rock, with a loud bang, the head of the stick plunged into the rock. In the middle, the sound of steel and stone hitting each other hummed for a long time before subsiding. He showed this skill, and all the beggars were amazed, but Huang Rong was even more astonished, thinking: "This old man is obviously a big liar with no skills, why did he suddenly become so powerful? It's probably because he, Yang Kang, and Elder Jian If they colluded, what kind of tricks are they playing, there must be something weird in this steel rod." The moonlight above the head, and the torches around him contrasted with each other, it was clear that it was indeed the Qiu Qianren I saw in Guiyun Village and Niujiazhuang.She turned her head to look at Guo Jing, and saw that he was still looking up, and at this moment, he started to look at the sky, could it be that he was really mad because of his fright and anger?She cared about Guo Jing, and no longer thought about what kind of trick Qiu Qianren was playing, she just looked at Guo Jing's expression with her wonderful eyes. Qiu Qianren said coldly: "The Iron Palm Gang and the Gui Gang have never violated the well water. I heard that the Gui Gang held a meeting at Junshan today, and came to pay a visit with good intentions. Why did the Gui Gang leader give you the next blow as soon as they met?" Elder Jian was intimidated by his power and was afraid. Hearing that there was no serious hostility in his words, he hurriedly said: "That is the misunderstanding of old gang leader Qiu. The old gang leader is so powerful that we have always admired him very much. Today, old gang leader Meng Thank you, the entire gang is honored." Qiu Qianren held his head high and did not answer, with an air of arrogance. After a long time, he said: "I heard that the old leader Hong has gone. He is a hero in the world, and he is weaker. It's a pity. It's a pity. Your gang has appointed such a new leader. Oh, what a shame, what a shame!" At this moment Yang Kang has come to his senses, he listened to his face-to-face sarcasm, but dared not speak out, but he felt that his right palm was still burning like fire, and his five fingers were swollen like five yams .The Fourth Elder of the Beggar Gang didn't know how to interface.Qiu Qianren said: "I am calling today, and I have something to ask your help for advice, and besides, I have a great gift to offer." Elder Jian said: "I dare not, but please show me, Old Master Qiu." Qiu Qianren said: "A few days ago, a few brothers from our gang went out to do errands under the orders of the old man, somehow they offended two friends from your gang, and severely injured them. The brothers from our gang are not good at learning, so we didn't have anything to say at first. The news spread, but the iron palm gang can't afford to lose face. I don't know good and bad, so I have to learn the methods of the two friends of your gang." Yang Kang didn't have the slightest love for the brothers of the Beggar Gang, so he dared to offend him again for the sake of the two gang members, and immediately said: "Who caused trouble without authorization and fought with the friends of the Iron Palm Gang? Come out and apologize to the old gang leader Qiu .” 丐帮自洪七公接掌帮主以来，在江湖上从未失过半点威风，现下洪七公一死，新帮主竟如此软弱，群丐听了他这几句言语，无不愤恨难平。 黎生和余兆兴又从人丛中出来，走上数步。黎生朗声道：“启禀帮主：本帮帮规第四条言明，凡我帮众，须得行侠仗义，救苦扶难。前日我们两人路见铁掌帮的朋友欺压良民，还要掳掠妇女，我二人忍耐不住，是以出头阻止，动起手来，伤了铁掌帮的朋友。” 杨康道：“不管怎样，还是向裘老帮主赔罪罢。” 黎生和余兆兴对望一眼，气愤填膺，若不赔罪，那是违了帮主之命，若去赔罪，这口气实在难咽。黎生大声叫道：“众位兄弟，要是老帮主在世，决不能让咱们丢这个脸。今日小弟是宁死不辱！”顺手从里腿中抽出一把短刀，一刀插在心里，立时气绝。余兆兴扑上前去抢起短刀，在自己胸口也是一刀，死在黎生身上。 众丐见二人不肯受辱而自刎，群情汹涌，只是丐帮帮规极严，若无帮主号令，谁也不敢有甚么异动。 裘千仞淡淡一笑，道：“这件事如此了结，倒也爽快。现下我要给贵帮送一批礼物。”左手一挥，他身后数十名黑衣大汉打开携来的箱笼，各人手捧一盘，躬身放在杨康身边，盘中金光灿然，尽是金银珠宝之属。众丐见他们突然拿出金珠，更是诧异。裘千仞道：“铁掌帮虽然有口饭吃，可拿不出这等重礼，这份礼物是大金国赵王爷托老朽转送的。” 杨康又惊又喜，忙问：“赵王爷他在哪里？我要见他。”裘千仞道：“这是数月之前，赵王爷差人送到敝处的，命老朽有话转告贵帮。”杨康嗯了一声，心道：“那是爹爹南下之前安排下的事了，却不知他送礼给这批叫化儿们作甚？”只听裘千仞道：“赵王爷敬慕贵帮英雄，特命老朽亲自来献礼结纳。”杨康欣然道：“有劳老帮主贵步，何以克当？”裘千仞笑道：“杨帮主年纪虽轻，倒是十分的通情达理，那是远过洪帮主的了。” 杨康在燕京时未曾听说完颜洪烈要与丐帮打甚么交道，此时急欲知道他的用意，问道：“不知赵王爷对敝帮有何差遣，要请老帮主示下。”裘千仞笑道：“差遣二字，决不能提。赵王爷只对老朽顺便说起，言道北边地瘠民贫，难展骏足……”杨康接口道：“赵王爷是要我们移到南方来？”裘千仞笑道：“杨帮主聪明之极，适才老朽实是失敬。赵王爷言道：江南、湖广地暖民富，丐帮众兄弟何不南下歇马？那可胜过在北边苦寒之地多多了。”杨康笑道：“多承赵王爷与老帮主美意指点，在下自当遵从。” 裘千仞想不到对方竟一口答应，脸上毫无难色，倒也颇出意料之外，转念一想，料来此人年轻懦弱，适才给自己铁掌一捏之下，痛得死去活来，心中怕极，此刻自己不论说甚么，他都不敢有丝毫违抗，但丐帮在北方根深柢固，岂能说撤便撤？事后群丐计议，势必反悔，须当敲钉转脚，让丐帮将来无法反口，于是说道：“大丈夫一言而决。杨帮主今日亲口答应，丐帮众兄弟撤过大江，今后不再北返的了？” 杨康正欲答应，鲁有脚忽道：“启禀帮主：咱们行乞为生，要金珠何用？再说，我帮帮众数十万，足迹遍天下，岂能受人所限？还请帮主三思。” 杨康这时已然明白完颜洪烈的心意。他早知丐帮在江北向来与金人为敌，诸多掣肘，金兵每次南下，丐帮必在金兵后方扰乱，或刺杀将领，或焚烧粮食，若将丐帮人众南撤，自然大利金人南征，于是说道：“这是裘老帮主的一番美意，我们若是不收，倒显得不恭了。金珠宝物我不要半分，四位长老，待会尽数俵分与众兄弟罢。” 鲁有脚急道：“咱们洪老帮主号称'北丐'，天下皆闻，北边基业，岂能轻易舍却？我帮忠义报国，世世与金人为仇，礼物决不能收，撤过长江，更是万万不可。” 杨康勃然变色，正欲答话，彭长老笑道：“鲁长老，我帮大事是决于帮主，不是决于你罢？”鲁有脚凛然道：“若要忘了忠义之心，我是宁死不从。”杨康道：“简、彭、梁三位长老，你们之意若何？”简、梁二长老迟疑未答，均觉丐帮撤过长江之举颇为不妥。彭长老却大声道：“但凭帮主吩咐。属下岂敢有违？” 杨康道：“好，八月初一起，我帮撤过大江。”此言一出，群丐中倒有一大半鼓噪起来。杨康见众丐喧嚷，一时不知所措。简、彭、梁三老大声喝止，但鼓躁的皆是污衣派群丐，对三老都不加理会。 彭长老喝道：“鲁长老，你是要背叛帮主不成？”鲁有脚凛然道：“纵然千刀分尸，我也不敢欺尊灭长、背叛帮主。只是我帮列祖列宗遗训，鲁有脚更加不敢背弃。金狗是我大宋世仇，洪老帮主平日对咱们说什么话来？”简、梁二长老垂头不语，心中颇有悔意。 裘千仞见形势不佳，若不将鲁有脚制住，只怕此行难有成就，当下冷笑一声，对杨康道：“杨帮主，这位鲁长老跋扈得紧哪？”一语方罢，双手暴发，猛往鲁有脚肩上拿去。鲁有脚当他冷笑之时，已有防备，知他手掌厉害，不敢硬接，猛地里身形急矮，已从他胯下钻过，腰未伸直，呼呼呼三脚往他臀上踢去。他名字叫鲁有脚，这腿上功夫果然甚是了得，出足快捷无伦。裘千仞见他忽从自己胯下钻过，心想此人招数好怪，觉得身后风响，急忙回掌力拍，鲁有脚第三脚若是将劲用足，原可踢中他后臀，但若被对方铁掌击中，自己足胫却也经受不起，足到中途，硬生生收转，一个筋斗，从他身旁翻过，突然一口浓痰向裘千仞脸上吐去。裘千仞侧头避过，见他怪招百出，不觉一怔。 杨康喝道：“鲁长老不得对贵客无礼！”鲁有脚听得帮主呼喝，当即退了两步。裘千仞却毫不容情，双手犹似两把铁钳，往他咽喉扼来。鲁有脚暗暗心惊，翻身后退，只听得敌人“嘿”的一声，自己双手已落入他掌握之中。 鲁有脚身经百战，虽败不乱，用力上提没能将敌人身子挪动，立时一个头锤往他肚上撞去。他自小练就铜锤铁头之功，一头能在墙上撞个窟窿。某次与丐帮兄弟赌赛，和一头大雄牛角力，两头相撞，他脑袋丝毫无损，雄牛却晕了过去。现下这一撞纵然不能伤了敌人，但双手必可脱出他的掌握，哪知头顶刚与敌人肚腹相接，立觉相触处柔若无物，宛似撞入了一堆棉花之中，心知不妙，急忙后缩，敌人的肚腹竟也跟随过来。鲁有脚用力挣扎，裘千仞那肚皮却有极大吸力，牢牢将他脑袋吸住，惊惶之中只觉脑门渐渐发烫，同时双手也似落入了一只熔炉之中，既痛且热。 裘千仞喝道：“你服了么？”鲁有脚骂道：“臭老贼，服你甚么？”裘千仞左手用劲，格格几响，将他右手五指指骨尽数捏断，再问：“服了么？”鲁有脚又骂：“臭老贼，服你甚么？”格格几响，左手指骨又断。他疼得神智迷糊，口中却仍是骂声不绝。 裘千仞道：“我肚皮运劲，把你脑袋也轧扁了，瞧你还骂不骂？”语声未毕，丐群中忽地跃出一人，身高膀宽，正是郭靖。 只见他大踏步走到鲁有脚身后，高举右掌，在他后臀拍拍拍连打三下，清脆可闻。这三下虽然打在鲁有脚后臀之上，裘千仞只觉一股力道从鲁有脚头顶传向自己肚腹，腾腾腾连撞三下，这三下一撞重似一撞，登时将肚上的吸力尽数化解。鲁有脚斗然觉得头顶一松，急忙站直身子，但双手仍被对方紧握不放。郭靖叫道：“你不是裘老前辈敌手，走开罢！”左腿横扫，正好踢在他的肩头。 这一腿仍和适才一般，着力之处虽在他的身上，但受力之点却是传到裘千仞双臂。裘千仞但感虎口剧震，抓紧对方的掌力不由自主的松了。鲁有脚得此良机，借着郭靖这一腿之力斜里窜出，只是头顶被吸得久了，一阵天旋地转，站立不稳，倒在地上。 裘千仞见郭靖露了这三掌一腿，不由得暗惊，此人小小年纪，居然有隔物传劲的本事，想不到丐帮之中还有这等人物，当下紧守门户，并不抢先进攻。群丐却不明就里，先前早认定郭靖是杀害帮主的帮凶，又见鲁有脚被他踢倒，当下大声呼喊，纷纷拥上。
郭靖本来手足被钢丝和牛皮条绞成的绳索牢牢缚住，丝毫动弹不得，一直在仰观北斗，潜思全真七子当日在牛家村所使的阵法，再和记得滚瓜烂熟的《九阴真经》经文反复参照，许多疑难不明之处，一步步的在心中出现了解答。《九阴真经》为前辈高人自道藏中所悟，与马钰所传的全真派道家内功、全真七子的天罡北斗阵皆是一脉相通，只不过更为高深奥妙而已，只是郭靖悟心实在太差，事隔多月，始终领会不到其间的关连之处，此时见到天上北斗，这才隐隐约约的想到了。当裘千仞与杨康、简长老、鲁有脚等人一问一答之际，他却正自全神思念真经下卷中所述的“收筋缩骨法”。这缩骨法的最下乘功夫，是鼠窃狗盗的打洞穿窬之术，但练到上乘，却能将全身筋骨缩成极小的一团，就如刺猬箭猪之属遇敌蜷缩一般。郭靖在明霞岛上遵洪七公之嘱，起手习练“易筋锻骨篇”，此时已有小成，基础既佳，一经依法施为，不知不觉间就将手脚上束缚的绳索卸去。他身手之灵活，实胜于头脑十倍，绳索虽已卸脱，心中兀自不明白何以得能如此。 彭长老本在郭靖身畔，忽见他脱缚而出，吃惊非小，伸臂一把抓去没有抓住，俯首但见地下空余一团绳索，仍是牢牢的互相钩结，而缚着的人却如一条泥鳅般滑了出去，待要上前追赶，只见他已将鲁有脚救出。彭长老心想挺身上前未必能讨得了好去，口中大呼：“拿住这小贼！”双足却钉在地下不动。 郭靖被缚得久了，甚是气愤，体念黄蓉心意，想她小孩脾气，必然恼怒更甚，虽知群丐受杨康欺蒙，并非有意与自己为敌，但见众人高呼攻来，心道：“今日不好好打你们一顿，难消蓉儿胸中之气！”有心要试试刚好想通的天罡北斗阵法，双臂一振，足下已踏定了“天权”之位。 但见六七名丐帮帮众同时从前后左右扑到，郭靖双足挺立，凝如山岳，左臂横在胸前。先到的三名帮众同时伸手往他臂上抓去，郭靖只是不动，片刻间又有数人攻上。郭靖斗然间抽回手臂，滴溜溜的转了个圈子，在丐帮这几人后心疾施手脚，或推其背，或撞其腰，又或是踢其屁股，只听“哎唷”“啊哟”“贼厮鸟”一连串叫喊，六七人跌成一团。 郭靖心下欢喜：“这法子果然使得。”回过身来，正要去抓杨康跟他算帐，月光下只见两名丐帮帮众扑向黄蓉，只怕她受了伤害，相距既远，救援不及，自己身上又无暗器，情急之下，弯腰除下脚上一对布鞋用力直挥出去。这计策本来他也想不出来，但听江南六怪述说当年在法华寺大战的情形，二师父朱聪曾除鞋投掷丘处机，于是也学上一手。 那两名帮众惟恐黄蓉也如郭靖一般脱身，各持兵刃，要将她即行杀了，好替老帮主报仇，哪知刚奔到黄蓉身前，兵刃尚未举起，忽觉后心风声峻急，有物飞掷而至，知道有人暗算。一个武功较高，急忙转身，郭靖的鞋子正好打在他胸口，另一个未及回身，鞋子已到，却是打在背脊之上。布鞋虽然柔软轻飘，但被郭靖内力用上了，劲道亦是非同小可，两人立脚不住，一个仰跌，一个俯冲，齐齐滚倒。彭长老站在邻近，见郭靖以布鞋打人竟也如此刚猛凌厉，更是惊惧，忙退开数步。 郭靖挥手推开三名丐帮帮众，急奔到黄蓉身旁，俯身去解她身上绳索，只解开一个结，丐帮帮众已然涌到。郭靖索性坐在地下，就学丘处机、王处一等人以天罡北斗阵御敌之法，只伸右掌迎战，将黄蓉放在双膝之上，左手慢慢解那绳结。他曾得周伯通传授双手互搏、一心二用之术，这时左手解索，右手迎敌，丝毫不见局促。 不到一盏茶时分，靖、蓉二人身周已重重叠叠的围了成百名帮众，后面的人别说出手，连郭靖的身子也望不到一眼。 郭靖只以单掌防卫，始终不施攻击杀手，直到将黄蓉手脚上的绳索尽数解开，又取出她口中麻核，才道：“蓉儿，你没甚么伤痛罢？”黄蓉侧卧在他膝上，却不起身，说道：“就是混身酸麻，倒没受伤。”郭靖道：“好，你躺着歇一会儿，瞧我给你出气。”两人一个坐地，一个高卧，竟将四周兵刃乱响、高声喧哗的群丐视若无物。黄蓉笑道：“你动手罢，只是别当真伤了我的徒子徒孙。”郭靖道：“我理会得。”左掌轻轻抚摸她的一头秀发，右掌忽地发劲，砰砰砰三响，三名帮众从人群头顶飞了出去。 群丐一阵大乱，又有四人被他以掌力甩出。只听人群中有人叫道：“众兄弟退开，让八袋弟子对付两名小贼。”正是简长老的声音。群丐听到号令，纷纷散开，靖、蓉身旁只余下三人，另有五人从后抢上，八人分站四周。这八丐背后都背负八只麻袋，是丐帮中仅次于四大长老的人物，每人均统率一路帮众，那接引杨康的瘦胖二丐亦在其内。八袋弟子原共九人，黎生自刎而死，就只剩下八人了。 郭靖知道目下对手虽减，但个个都是高手，正欲站起，黄蓉低声道：“坐着打，你对付得了。别将他们瞧在眼里。”郭靖心想：“若是八人齐上，却是不易抵挡，须得先打倒几个。”认得胖瘦二丐是从牛家村接引杨康来此之人，左手抓起从黄蓉身上解下来的绳索，一招“断胫盘打”着地扫去。这是马王神韩宝驹当年所授金龙鞭法中的一招，鞭法虽同，只是他功力大进之后，使将出来便威力倍加。 胖瘦二丐见钢索扫到，忙纵身跃起闪避。郭靖舞动钢索，化成一道索墙，挡住前、左、后三方，却将右面留出空隙。这破绽正在胖瘦二丐身前，其余六丐却尽被钢索阻住，急切间攻不进去。二丐见有机可乘，立时扑上，只听得简长老急叫道：“攻不得！”但为时已然不及，郭靖掌去如风，拍拍两掌，分别击在二丐肩头。二丐身不由主的疾飞而出，撞向铁掌帮的一众黑衣汉子。 二丐受力虽同，但二人肥瘦有别，份量悬殊，重的跌得近，轻的飞出远。砰砰两响，撞倒了两名黑衣汉子。裘千仞原在一旁袖手观战，见二丐飞跌而出，也不以为意，但听到相撞之声，却不由得吃了一惊，心道：“我们的人非死必伤。”抢上前去，只见胖瘦二丐已一跃站起，并无损伤，铁掌帮的两名帮众却已被撞得筋折骨断，爬在地下。裘千仞大怒，刚欲回头，只听身后风响，又有两名丐帮的八袋弟子被郭靖以掌力甩了出来。 裘千仞知道郭靖所使的这般隔物传劲之力是远重近轻，丐帮弟子亲受者小，但被他们撞着了，受力却是极重，当下回臂将一丐往无人处斜里推出，随即双掌并拢，呼的一声，往另一丐背心击去。这一击是他生平赖以成名的铁掌功夫，若是胜过郭靖掌力，便不但抵消了来力，还能以余力重创那丐，否则自己纵不受伤，也会被击得跌倒或是后退。 丐帮四老和黄蓉知他这双掌一击是正面和郭靖的功力比拚，胜负之间，关系非小，俱都凝神注视，但见他双掌发出，那八袋弟子倒飞丈许，随即轻轻巧巧的落在地下，呆了一呆，转身又向郭靖奔去，竟是丝毫没有受伤。这一来，丐帮四老均知郭靖与裘千仞的武功大致是在伯仲之间，虽然郭靖稍有不及，却也相差不远，实是可惊可畏。黄蓉更感惊疑：“这老骗子功夫甚是寻常，怎能挡得住靖哥哥这一掌之力？这是硬接硬架的真本事，万万不能施甚鬼蜮伎俩，好教人难以索解。”裘千仞一招接过，已试出郭靖的真实功夫，以内力修为而论，自己尚胜他半筹，但这小子与丐帮友敌难分，自己身在险地，犯不着在此与他拚斗，当下右手一挥，约束铁掌帮诸人退后。 丐帮八袋弟子的武功只与尹志平、杨康之俦相若，郭靖一起手就击倒了四人，虽有一人回来重行加入战团，但郭靖将降龙十八掌与天罡北斗阵配在一起，以威猛之势，济以灵动之变，这五丐怎能抵挡得住？若非郭靖瞧在师父脸上，早已将五丐打得非死即伤，只斗了十余招，又以掌力震倒二丐。余下三丐不敢进攻，转身欲逃，郭靖左手钢索挥出，卷住二人足踝，扯到身旁。黄蓉道：“绑住了！”郭靖抄起钢索，将两人手足反缚在一起。 黄蓉见他大获全胜，既惊且喜，心想擒获自己的是那满脸笑容的彭长老，记得师父曾说过江湖上有一门慑心之术，能使人忽然睡去，受人任意摆布，毫无反抗之力，想来这彭长老所用的正是这门邪术，问道：“靖哥哥，《九阴真经》中载得有什么'慑心法'么？”郭靖道：“没有……”黄蓉好生失望，低声道：“提防那笑脸恶丐，莫与他眼光相接。”郭靖点头道：“我正要狠狠打这家伙一顿出气！”说着扶了黄蓉背脊，两人一齐站起身来。郭靖瞪视杨康，大踏步向他走去。 杨康当郭靖大展神威、力斗群丐之际，心中已自惴惴不安，只盼群丐倚多为胜，将他制服，哪知群丐逐一败退，郭靖却向自己逼来，只要被他一近身，哪里还有性命？情急之下，高声叫道：“四位长老，咱们这里无数英雄好汉，岂能任由这小贼猖狂？”嘴里喊得急，脚下也不慢了，忙退在简长老身后。简长老回首低声道：“帮主放心，小贼武功再高，总是敌不过人多，咱们用车轮战困死他。”提高嗓子叫道：“八袋弟子，布坚壁阵！” 一名八袋丐首应声而出，带头十多名帮众排成前后两列，各人手臂相挽，十六七人结成一堵坚壁，发一声喊，突然低头向靖、蓉二人猛冲过去。 黄蓉叫声：“啊哟！”闪身向左跃开。郭靖向右绕过，东西两边又有两排帮众冲了过来。郭靖见群丐战法怪异，待这坚壁冲近，竟不退避，双掌突发，往壁中那人身上推去。他掌力虽强，可是这坚壁阵合十余人的体重，再加上疾冲之势，哪里推挪得开？那坚壁中心受力，微微一顿，两翼却包抄上来。郭靖一
I don't know how much time has passed, the two of them felt the cool wind blowing in a daze, their bodies were chilly, and there seemed to be the sound of waves in their ears. When they opened their eyes, they saw a bright moon in the clouds and mist just passing behind the mountain in the east. rising.The surprise of the two of them was not small, just now they were drinking in Yueyang Tower in broad daylight, how could it be dark in an instant?When he was about to stand up in a drowsy state, he realized that his hands and feet were bound by ropes. He opened his mouth to breathe out, but his mouth was stuffed with numb numbness, which made his mouth and tongue hurt.Huang Rong immediately knew that she had followed the tricks of the fat white beggar, but it was hard to figure out what kind of evil method he was using; she didn't think about it for a while, and saw Guo Jing lying beside her, struggling hard, first My heart was relieved. Guo Jing's inner strength was strong at this time, even the toughest ropes would be snapped by him, but at this moment his hands and feet were moving vigorously, the ropes on his body were clanking, but not a single thread was damaged, it turned out to be made of cowhide strips mixed with steel wires.Guo Jing wanted to wait for more internal energy, suddenly his face turned cold, a piece of cold sword edge patted his cheek lightly twice, turned his head and looked sideways, and saw four young beggars, each holding a weapon guarding Beside him, he had no choice but to stop struggling and turned to look at Huang Rong. Huang Rong made up her mind, she had to find out the situation around her first, and then find a way to get out, she turned sideways, she was even more shocked, it turned out that she was on the top of a small peak, under the moonlight she could see clearly, everything was everywhere The lake water, light smoke and mist, shrouded thousands of hectares of blue waves, and thought: "So we have been captured to the top of Junshan in Dongting Lake, why didn't we feel it on the way?" Turning around, I saw a high platform more than ten feet away. , Hundreds of beggars were sitting densely around the platform, everyone was silent, the moonlight had not yet shined on everyone, so they didn't notice it at the beginning.She secretly rejoiced: "Ah, yes, today is the 15th day of the seventh month. This is the meeting of the Beggars' Clan. I just need to try to speak and pass down Master's orders. Why worry about the beggars' disobedience?" After a long time, there was still no movement from the group of beggars. Huang Rong felt very impatient, but she couldn't move, she could only bear with it. After half an hour, her hands and feet did not move, and she felt a slight numbness. Zhongtian illuminated half of the high platform.Huang Rong said in her heart: "Li Taibai's poem says: 'Sweep the clear lake to open the jade mirror, and the painting is Junshan. It's really annoying and funny!" The moonlight moved slowly and illuminated three large characters on the side of the stage: "Xuanyuan Terrace".Huang Rong remembered that her father told the story of the great rivers and lakes in the world. It was said that the Yellow Emperor cast a tripod by the Dongting Lake, and after the tripod was completed, he ascended to heaven on a dragon. He wanted to come here to commemorate this event. It was only time for a cup of tea, and the high platform was completely bathed in the bright moon. Suddenly, three beeps of duk tuk and duk tuk could be heard stopping at a time, slow and fast, high and low, quite rhythmic, but It's the beggars each holding a small stick and knocking on the rock in front of them. Huang Rong secretly counted the knocking sounds, and when the count reached ninety-nine and eighty-one, the sound stopped abruptly, four people stood up from the group of beggars, under the moonlight they could clearly see that they were Lu Youjiao and the three from the Clean Clothes Sect. elders.The four elders of the Beggar Clan walked to the four corners of Xuanyuan Terrace and stood still. The group of beggars stood up together, crossed their hands on their chests, and bowed in salute. The fat old beggar waited for the group of beggars to sit down, and said loudly: "Brothers, it's a disaster for the beggars' gang, it's really a disaster, our leader Hong has passed away in Lin'an Mansion!" As soon as this remark came out, the group of beggars fell silent.Suddenly one opened his mouth and yelled, and fell to the ground.A group of beggars beat their chests and feet, and wailed loudly. The wailing vibrated the trees and spread far from the lake. Guo Jing was shocked: "We couldn't find Master, so he passed away." He couldn't help crying, but his mouth was numb and he couldn't cry.But Huang Rong thought: "This fat man is not a good guy, he made the evil law catch us. How can we trust this man's words? He must be spreading rumors." The group of beggars mourned Hong Qigong's kindness, and they all cried out in grief.Lu Youjiao suddenly shouted: "Elder Peng, who saw the lord die with his own eyes?" The fat and white Elder Peng said: "Elder Lu, if the old lord is still alive, who would eat a leopard? Dare to curse him? The person who saw his old man die with his own eyes is here. Yang Xianggong, please tell the brothers in detail." Only one person stood up in the crowd, it was Yang Kang. Holding a green bamboo stick, he walked up to the high platform, the group of beggars became silent immediately, but the sound of weeping and whimpering could not stop.Yang Kang said slowly: "Master Hong had a martial arts competition in Lin'an Mansion a month ago, unfortunately he missed and was beaten to death." Hearing this, the group of beggars became furious and shouted: "Who is the enemy? Tell me, tell me!" "The leader is so supernatural, how could he miss?" "The enemy must be besieged on a large scale. We are outnumbered." Hearing Yang Kang's words, Guo Jing turned from sadness to anger, and then he was overjoyed, thinking: "Master was with us a month ago, so he was talking nonsense." Huang Rong thought: "This kid He is the private disciple of the old liar Qiu Qianren, and he has learned his stinky kung fu of falsely spreading the news of death." Yang Kang stretched out his hands, and waited for the beggars to calm down, then he said: "The ones who killed the Clan Master were Dongxie Huang Yaoshi, the master of Peach Blossom Island, and the seven thieves from the Quanzhen Sect." Nineteen didn't know his name, but the Seventh Son of Quanzhen was famous far and wide.Those who can come to Junshan to attend the meeting today are not ordinary people in the Beggar Clan. Naturally, they all know the abilities of the Seven Masters. If one person is alone, he is not his enemy.Everyone was extremely sad and angry at the moment.Some cursed loudly, and some clamored to avenge the gang leader immediately. It turned out that Yang Kang heard from Ouyang Feng that day that Hong Qigong was wounded by his toad kung fu, his life would be in danger.He also said that Guo Jing had already been stabbed to death by himself in the Forbidden Palace, but he suddenly bumped into him in Yueyang Tower, he was shocked and ordered the three elders of the Beggar Clan to try to capture the two of them, intending to kill them.He thought that this matter would be leaked over time, and Huang Yaoshi, Quanzhen Seven Sons, Jiangnan Six Monsters and others would seek revenge on him.The six monsters are not very skilled in martial arts, so they are not very afraid, but Dongxie and the seven sons are no small matter, so they lightly put the blame for killing Hong Qigong on them, so that the gang of beggars will come out in full force, and take down Peach Blossom Island and the others in one fell swoop. The Quanzhen sect chose, except for his own serious trouble. Amidst the commotion of the beggars, Elder Donglu Jian stood up and said, "Brothers, listen to me." This man has white eyebrows and a short stature. Prestige.I just heard him say: "Right now we have two important matters. The first is to obey the leader's will and enshrine the nineteenth generation leader of the gang. The second is to discuss how to avenge the leader." The group of beggars shouted loudly yes.But Lu Youjiao said loudly: "Let's pay homage to the heroic spirit of the old gang leader first." He grabbed a handful of wet soil from the ground, made a clay figurine, and put it on the edge of Xuanyuan Terrace as Hong Qigong's spirit statue. He fell to the ground and cried loudly.All the beggars let out a cry of grief. Huang Rong thought to herself: "My master is alive and well, why are you beggars crying? Hmph, you tied brother Jing and me here for no reason, and made you sad for nothing. You deserve it. " All the beggars cried for a while, Elder Jian clapped their hands three times, and all the beggars stopped crying one by one.Elder Jian said: "Brothers from all walks of life in this gang held a meeting in Junshan, Yuezhou today. The purpose was to listen to Lord Hong to appoint his successor to the old man. Now that the old leader has passed away unfortunately, it has to be decided according to the old leader's will. If there is no will, it will be jointly recommended by the four elders of the gang. This is the rule passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the gang, brothers, are you right?" All the beggars said yes.Elder Peng said: "Mr. Yang, when the old gang leader passed away, please tell me what will be ordered." Appointing the leader of the beggar gang is the most important thing in the beggar gang. The success or failure of the beggar gang depends more than half on whether the gang leader is virtuous and capable.At that time, the seventeenth generation leader of the Qian Gang was weak and cowardly. Although his martial arts were high, he did not handle things properly.It wasn't until Hong Qigong took over as the head of the gang and forcibly suppressed the two factions to prevent internal strife, that the beggar gang was able to regain its glory in the arena.All the beggars in the meeting today knew about these past events, so when they heard that they were going to enshrine a clan leader, everyone concentrated and held their breath. Yang Kang held the green bamboo stick in both hands, raised it high above the top, and said loudly: "The leader of Gang Hong was besieged by traitors and was seriously injured. , Immediately invited a famous doctor to treat Lord Hong carefully, but the injury was too serious to be saved." Hearing this, all the beggars let out a sigh.Yang Kang paused for a moment, and then said: "When Clan Master Hong was dying, he gave this bamboo stick to me, and ordered me to take over the important task of the nineteenth generation Clan Leader." , would entrust it to such a man who looked like a son of a son. Yang Kang accidentally obtained a green bamboo stick from Qu Shagu's shop in Niujia Village, Lin'an, and saw that the fat and thin beggars were very respectful to him.Surprised in his heart, he didn't reveal the slightest word to the two beggars along the way, but went around in circles and asked about the origin of the bamboo stick.When the second beggar saw that he had a bamboo stick in his hand, he would answer every question he had, and he knew everything he wanted to say, so before he arrived in Yuezhou, he already knew sixty-seven out of ten of the inside story of the beggar gang, but the strict rules of the gang were not allowed. As an outsider's secret, he didn't know how to ask questions, and the two beggars didn't mention it.He thought that the Beggars' Sect was very powerful and the leader had great authority. Anyway, Hong Qigong was dead and there was no proof.He calculated carefully several times, and felt that there was no flaw in this plan, so he made up a set of lies, and actually spread Hong Qigong's death in the meeting, intending to identify himself as the leader of the gang. He spoke frankly in front of hundreds of heroes of the beggar gang, without blushing, and without stagnation in his speech, knowing that if this lie is exposed, most of them will be beaten to pieces by the beggars on the spot, but those who want to make a big deal come true He must take some strange risks, not to mention that Hong Qigong is dead, the green bamboo staff is in his hand, Guo Jing and Huang Rong have been captured, the dangers he takes are actually not that great, but once he becomes the leader of the sect, there are innumerable benefits. This gang of beggars has thousands of members, and it can be used as a stepping stone for future "unlimited wealth and honor". The three elders Jian, Peng and Liang of the Jingyi School heard Yang Kang's words, and they all had smiles on their faces. It turns out that the beggar gang is divided into two factions, the clean clothes faction and the dirty clothes faction.Apart from wearing patched beggar's uniforms, the Jingyi faction is no different from ordinary people in daily life. These people were originally heroes in the world, either admired the chivalrous deeds of the beggar gang, or made friends with the disciples of the gang and devoted themselves to it. Beggars are not really beggars.The Dirty Clothes faction really lived by begging and strictly abided by the precepts: they were not allowed to use money for shopping, they were not allowed to eat at the same table with outsiders, and they were not allowed to fight with people who did not know martial arts.The two factions each hold one end and have endless disputes.In order to show impartiality and selflessness, Hong Qigong wore clean clothes in the first year and dirty clothes in the second year, so that he rotated year by year, and he was not biased against the clean clothes and dirty clothes.Originally, begging in dirty clothes is the true nature of the beggar gang, but Hong Qigong loves to drink and eat, and it is difficult for him to beg for leftovers and cold food to satisfy his hunger, so he himself cannot strictly abide by the dirty clothes sect precepts.But among the four elders, he relied on Lu Youjiao the most. If Lu Youjiao hadn't been irritable and had broken up major events several times, Hong Qigong would have designated him as the successor of the clan leader. At the Yuezhou General Assembly, the beggars of the Jingyi Sect had been very worried for a long time, they wanted to inherit the sect leader, when it comes to morality, martial arts, and popularity, Lu Youjiao must most likely be none other than Lu Youjiao.What's more, although the Clean Clothes Sect has three of the four elder elders in the gang, the Dirty Clothes Sect has the majority of middle and lower class disciples.The third elder of the Jingyi Sect thought of various countermeasures, but considering Hong Qigong's prestige, no one dared to make any changes. Later, seeing Yang Kang coming to Yuezhou with a bamboo stick, and hearing that Hong Qigong was dead, Although he couldn't help feeling sad, he thought it was a good opportunity to overwhelm the Stained Clothes faction, so he immediately accepted Yang Kang's intentions and was very respectful, trying to find out about Qigong's last will.Unexpectedly, Yang Kang is very obedient, fearing that there will be changes, he never mentions the will, and he didn't announce it until the meeting.Knowing that they have no role, the three elders of the Clean Clothes Sect are not disappointed, as long as Lu Youjiao does not serve as the leader of the sect, they fulfill their wish, thinking that Yang Kang is young, so he can be lured to submit.What's more, he dresses gorgeously and eats exquisitely, and he will never be partial to the dirty clothes school.The three of them looked at each other and nodded. Elder Jian said: "The thing held by Mr. Yang is indeed a sacred object of our clan. If you have any doubts, brothers, please come forward and have a look." Lu Youjiao looked sideways at Yang Kang, and thought: "You are also worthy to be the leader of this gang, leading all beggar gangs in the world?" He reached out to take the bamboo stick, and saw that the stick was green and crystal clear, it was passed down from generation to generation by the leader of this gang. I thought to myself: "Master Hong must be grateful for the virtue of saving each other, so he passed it on to him. Since the old master has a will, how dare we not obey it? I will help him with all sincerity and loyalty, and don't fall into the hands of Master Hong." His foundation." So he raised the staff over the top with both hands, handed the bamboo staff back to Yang Kang respectfully, and said in a loud voice: "We will follow the old leader's will, and regard Yang Xianggong as the nineteenth generation leader of the gang." All the beggars Cheers in unison. Guo Jing and Huang Rong couldn't move their bodies, they couldn't speak, but they were crying secretly in their hearts.Guo Jing thought to himself: "Sure enough, as Island Master Huang expected, Yang Kang dared to pretend to be the leader of the gang, and he would definitely cause serious disasters in the future." .” I only heard Yang Kangqian say: "I am young and incompetent, immoral and incompetent, but I dare not take this important position." Elder Peng said: "The master Hong's death is like this, so Yang Xianggong does not need to be too modest. All the brothers are united to help, Yang Xianggong can rest assured Yes." Lu Youjiao said: "Exactly!" With a cough, a mouthful of thick phlegm was spit in his face. This move was beyond Yang Kang's expectation, he didn't dodge it, the spit of phlegm happened to stick on his right cheek.He was taken aback, and was about to ask questions, when the three elders, Jian, Peng, and Liang spit on him.Yang Kang secretly shouted: "My life is over!" Only Tao's conspiracy was finally uncovered by the Fourth Elder, and he was about to turn around and run away, knowing that escape would be better than waiting for death, but he saw the Fourth Elder folded his hands on his chest and bowed to the ground .Yang Kang was stunned, speechless for a moment.The group of beggars came up to spit on him one by one according to their seniority, and then each performed a big gift in the gang.Yang Kang was full of surprises, and secretly wondered: "Spitting on me is considered respectful?" He didn't know the rules of the Beggars' Sect, and he had to spit at the leader when he appointed him.Gaiyin Huazi begged everywhere and was humiliated by thousands of people. As the elder of the group of beggars, he must first be humiliated by the gang, which has a deep meaning. Huang Rong suddenly remembered that on Mingxia Island, Hong Qigong spat on the corner of her clothes when he passed on the position of Clan Leader. The etiquette of the lord.I remember that day Hong Qigong said again: "In the future, all the beggars will formally see you, and there will inevitably be another dirty thing. Alas, this is hard for you." He is willing to take the position of the leader of the gang, so he will not tell the truth. After a long time, the group of beggars finished their salutes and shouted together: "Master Yang, please come to Xuanyuan Terrace!" Yang Kang saw that the platform was not very tall, he wanted to show off his skills, he flew up with his feet a little bit, his posture was agile, it was very wonderful.Although his jumping technique is good, but the four elders have their own pure attainments in martial arts, they have seen that his kung fu is flashy and his foundation is still shallow, it's just that he is very young, with this ability, it is obvious that he has been taught by a master. It is also quite rare. Yang Kang boarded the Xuanyuan Terrace, and said in a clear voice: "Although the culprit who killed the old gang leader has not been executed, I have captured the two accomplices here." When the beggars heard this, they were all in an uproar again, shouting: "Where are the culprits?" Where is it?" "Quickly use a random knife to dismember the body." "Don't kill it with a single knife, and let the dog thief suffer piecemeal." Guo Jing thought to himself: "He has captured any accomplices, let's see." Yang Kang sternly Said: "Bring it to the stage!" Elder Peng quickly walked up to Guo and Huang, picked them up one by one in each hand, walked to the front of the stage and threw them heavily on the ground.Only then did Guo Jing come to his senses, and cursed in his heart: "My boy, you were talking about us." Seeing that it was Jing and Rong, Lu Youjiao was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I would like to report to the leader: These two are disciples of the old leader, how can they harm Master?" Yang Kang said bitterly: "Because of this, it is even more terrible. Annoyed. These two people deceived their teachers and destroyed their ancestors, and committed a heinous crime." Elder Peng said: "Guangzhu Yang witnessed it with his own eyes, so how could there be anything wrong?" Li Sheng and Yu Zhaoxing, two members of the beggar gang, helped Cheng Yaojia in Baoying County, and almost killed Ouyang Ke's subordinates. Fortunately, Guo Jing and Huang Rong rescued them. I like it very much, and immediately rushed forward in the crowd.Li Sheng shouted: "I would like to report to the leader of the gang, these two are chivalrous heroes, the younger one dared to save his life, and the murder of the old leader has absolutely nothing to do with them." Yu Zhaoxing shouted: "These two are good people, the older one Good friends." Elder Liang glared and shouted: "I have something to say to you elders, is there a place for you to intervene here?" Li and Yu belong to the dirty clothes sect, and Lu Youjiao should take care of it.The two were of lower seniority, they dared not speak any more, and retreated angrily. Lu Youjiao said: "It's just that I dare not believe the words of the gang leader, because this is a major matter of revenge for the gang, please ask the gang leader to investigate carefully and find out the truth." Yang Kang had already made up his mind, and said, "Okay, I'll ask to clarify." He said to Jing and Rong, "You don't have to answer. If I'm right, just nod your head. If you're not right, shake your head. If there's even a little deception Don't blame the sword for being ruthless." With a wave of his hand, Elder Peng and Elder Liang each drew their weapons and put them on the backs of Jing and Rong.Elder Peng wields a sword and Elder Liang wields a saber, both of which are sharp weapons. Huang Rong was extremely angry, her face was pale, she thought of how she nodded and shook her head when she heard Lu Guanying propose marriage to Cheng Yaojia next door in Niujia Village, how beautiful it was at that time, but today it happened to her, but she was bullied by this traitor.He also thought that he had played this trick with Ouyang Ke before, unexpectedly he would suffer this retribution, even though he was annoyed, he still thought about how to arouse Lu Youjiao's doubts while nodding and shaking his head, so that he insisted on answering questions verbally, as long as there is If you can speak, it is not difficult to expose Yang Kang's conspiracy. Knowing that Guo Jing was honest and easy to fool, Yang Kang lifted him up and put him aside, and asked loudly, "This woman is Huang Yaoshi's biological daughter, isn't she?" Guo Jing closed his eyes and ignored him.Elder Liang stabbed him on the back with a knife, and shouted: "Yes or no, nod or shake his head?" nodded. The group of beggars believed that Huang Yaoshi was the chief culprit who killed Hong Qigong. Seeing him nodding, they shouted loudly: "What are you asking? Kill quickly, kill quickly!" account." Yang Kang shouted: "Brothers, don't make noise, wait until I ask him." When the beggars heard the order from the leader, they immediately fell silent. Yang Kang asked Guo Jing, "Huang Yaoshi betrothed his daughter to you, right?" Guo Jing thought it was true, and nodded again.Yang Kang bent down to touch him, pulled out a gleaming dagger, and asked, "This is given to you by Qiu Chuji, one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen. That old man Qiu also engraved your name on the dagger, right?" ?” Guo Jing nodded.Yang Kang asked again: "Ma Yu, one of the Quanzhen Seven Masters, once taught you Kung Fu, and Wang Chuyi once saved your life, can you deny it?" Guo Jing thought, "Why should I deny it?" He nodded again .Yang Kangdao: "Hong Qigong, Chief Hong thought you two were good people, and passed on his unique skills to others, didn't you?" Guo Jing nodded.Yang Kang asked again: "Old leader Hong was conspired by the enemy and was seriously injured. The two of you are beside him, right?" Guo Jing nodded again.Huang Rong was anxious: "Silly brother, no matter what he asks is right or not, if you keep shaking your head, he will have to let you talk." The beggars heard Yang Kang's voice becoming more and more serious, but Guo Jing couldn't help nodding, only saying that he confessed the crime, but they didn't realize that these questions had nothing to do with the assassination of Hong Qigong, it was all Yang Kang's treacherous frame.At this time, even Lu Youjiao hated Jing and Rong to the core, stepped forward, and kicked Guo Jing several times.Yang Kang shouted: "Brothers, these two little thieves are quite straightforward, so let's save them from suffering. Elders Peng and Liang, hurry up!" Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at each other sadly.Huang Rong suddenly smiled, thinking: "Brother Jing and I died together, not that Hua Zheng! It's clean to die like this. Anyway, it's raining heavily ahead, so there's no need to run." Guo Jing looked up at the sky and thought of his mother who was far away in the desert. He stared north and saw Yuyu, the Big Dipper, shining brightly. He thought suddenly, and thought of the battle between the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, Mei Chaofeng and Huang Yaoshi. When a person is about to die, his mind is particularly sharp, and the offensive and defensive retreat of Tiangang Beidou formation, hesitating and opening, are actually clearly in front of him. Elders Peng and Liang held their sabers straight, they came forward to strike, when Lu Youjiao suddenly rushed forward, blocking Jing and Rong, shouting: "Hold on!" He took out the numb numbness in Guo Jing's mouth, and asked "How did the old gang leader get killed? Tell me clearly." Yang Kang hurriedly said, "You don't need to ask, I know everything." All the traitors related to this matter must not let go!" Yang Kang secretly worried, thinking that once he explained the truth to him, there would definitely be a change, but Lu Youjiao's persecution was justified, but it was inconvenient to stop him. Beads of sweat ooze out. Unexpectedly, although the numb numbness in Guo Jing's mouth was taken out, he still remained silent, staring up at the northern sky, lost in thought.Lu Youjiao asked several times, but Guo Jing didn't hear him at all. It turned out that he was engrossed, but he was studying the kung fu of Tiangang Beidou Formation. At this time, he was concentrating on it like a madman.How can he pay attention to Lu Youjiao's words?Seeing that he didn't take this opportunity to defend himself, Huang Rong and Yang Kang were both extremely surprised, they were just secretly sad and happy, their moods were quite different. Yang Kang waved his hand, and Peng and Liang raised their swords.Suddenly there was a chi-chi sound, and a purple flame swept across the lake.
Peng and Liang looked back in astonishment, and saw two blue flames shooting up into the sky. These flames were about several miles away from Junshan Mountain, and they came from the center of the lake.Elder Jian said: "Master, a distinguished guest has arrived." Yang Kang was startled, and asked: "Who is it?" Elder Jian said: "The leader of the Iron Palm Gang." Gang gang?" Elder Jian said: "This is a big gang in Sichuan and Hunan, and their gang masters come to pay homage to the mountain, so they must be well received. These two little thieves will be dealt with soon." Yang Kang said: "That's fine, just Elder Jian, please wait to pick up the guests." Elder Jian passed down the order, and there were three bang bang bang, and three red rockets flew up from Junshan Island. After a while, when the boat docked, the group of beggars lit torches and stood up to meet them.Xuanyuan Terrace is at the top of Junshan Mountain, there is still a long way to go from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, although the visitors all have lightness kung fu, they will arrive after a while. Jing and Rong were brought into the crowd, and Elder Peng ordered his disciples to guard them.Huang Rong looked at Guo Jing, seeing him with a dull expression, looking up at the sky, murmuring what he was talking about incessantly, she was extremely surprised, expecting that he had suffered a great deal of injustice, and her sanity was a little confused, she thought that no matter who came, it would always be There was an opportunity, and just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the visitor had arrived, and under the torchlight, dozens of men in black came to the stage with an old man in their arms.This old man is wearing a yellow kudzu shirt and waving a cattail fan. Who is it but Qiu Qianren?Huang Rong was furious and funny, but she was also very disappointed. This person came here, absolutely nothing good will happen. Elder Jian went up to meet him, said a lot of Jianghu clichés, with an extremely respectful expression, then introduced to Yang Kang, and said: "This is the old leader of Qiu Qiu, who is invincible in the palm of his hand, and powerful in the world. This is my gang leader." Today's new leader Yang is a young hero. The two of you are very close." Yang Kang once saw Qiu Qianren making a fool of himself at the Guiyun Manor in Taihu Lake, and he looked down on him in his heart. He thought to himself that this big liar was actually the leader of some gang, so he pretended not to know him and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you." , Nice to meet you." She reached out her hand to hold his hand.Clasping his palms together, Yang Kangli put all his strength into his hands, intending to make him cry out for mercy, thinking: "Everyone believes that you are excellent in martial arts, but I want you to fall into my hands. This is a godsend!" It’s a good opportunity for me, old man, to let me show my might in front of all the beggars.” Who would have thought that as soon as he exerted his strength, his palm felt extremely hot, as if he had grasped a piece of red coal, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, but the palm of his hand was already caught by the other party. Grasping firmly, the hotness seemed to be burning all the way to my heart, and I couldn't help shouting: "Ah!" Immediately, his face was pale, tears flowed, he bent down in pain, and almost fainted. Seeing this, the four elders of the Beggar Clan were shocked and rushed to protect them.Elder Jian was the head of the four elders. He struck the steel staff in his hand on the rock, and with a clang, sparks flew everywhere, and he said angrily, "Old Chief Qiu, you are a guest from afar. Our Chief Yang is young, how can you Can you compare his kung fu with him?" Qiu Qianren said coldly: "I'll hold hands with him. It was the leader of the Gui Gang who came to take the test first. The leader of the Yang Gang deliberately wants to crush my old bones." As he spoke, his hands did not loosen at all. When he said a word, Yang Kang said "Ouch", and when he finished these few words, Yang Kang's voice was weak, and he passed out from the pain. Qiu Qianren let go of his hand and waved it out, Yang Kang lost consciousness and fell straight out.Lu Youjiao hurriedly rushed to support him.Elder Jian said angrily: "Old Leader Qiu, you...you...what's your intention? It's simply unreasonable?" Qiu Qianren snorted, and slapped him on the face with his left palm.Elder Jian raised his steel rod to block.Qiu Qianren changed his moves extremely quickly, pressed down with his left hand, and grabbed the head of the steel staff. As soon as the edge of his palm touched the head of the stick, before he could grasp it tightly, he already snatched it inside.Elder Jian's martial arts skills are extraordinary, he was startled, and held on to the staff, but Qiu Qianren failed to snatch the staff, his right palm swung to the left suddenly like the wind, and hit the steel staff's waist with a bang.Elder Jian's hands were shattered, and the blood flowed profusely. He couldn't hold it anymore, and he snatched the steel rod.Qiu Qianren swung his stick backwards, parrying Peng and Liang's swords at the same time, when he retracted his stick, he slammed his right elbow into the door of Lu Youjiao's face, forcing all four elders of the Beggar Clan to leave in a moment.The group of beggars looked at each other in astonishment, each took their weapons, and waited for the leader's order to swarm up and fight with the Iron Palm Gang. Qiu Qianren held the head of the steel rod with his left hand, and the tail of the rod with his right hand, he let out a long laugh, secretly exerted strength with both hands, and shouted loudly, intending to break the steel rod in two.Unexpectedly, Elder Jian's steel stick was extremely tenacious after thousands of hammerings, it didn't break this time, but was bent down by his divine strength.Qiu Qianren gave up all his strength, and the steel rod slowly turned into an arc.The group of beggars were startled and angry, suddenly saw his left arm retracted, and then swung forward, the arc-shaped steel stick flew into the air, and shot at the opposite mountain rock, with a loud bang, the head of the stick plunged into the rock. In the middle, the sound of steel and stone hitting each other hummed for a long time before subsiding. He showed this skill, and all the beggars were amazed, but Huang Rong was even more astonished, thinking: "This old man is obviously a big liar with no skills, why did he suddenly become so powerful? It's probably because he, Yang Kang, and Elder Jian If they colluded, what kind of tricks are they playing, there must be something weird in this steel rod." The moonlight above the head, and the torches around him contrasted with each other, it was clear that it was indeed the Qiu Qianren I saw in Guiyun Village and Niujiazhuang.She turned her head to look at Guo Jing, and saw that he was still looking up, and at this moment, he started to look at the sky, could it be that he was really mad because of his fright and anger?She cared about Guo Jing, and no longer thought about what kind of trick Qiu Qianren was playing, she just looked at Guo Jing's expression with her wonderful eyes. Qiu Qianren said coldly: "The Iron Palm Gang and the Gui Gang have never violated the well water. I heard that the Gui Gang held a meeting at Junshan today, and came to pay a visit with good intentions. Why did the Gui Gang leader give you the next blow as soon as they met?" Elder Jian was intimidated by his power and was afraid. Hearing that there was no serious hostility in his words, he hurriedly said: "That is the misunderstanding of old gang leader Qiu. The old gang leader is so powerful that we have always admired him very much. Today, old gang leader Meng Thank you, the entire gang is honored." Qiu Qianren held his head high and did not answer, with an air of arrogance. After a long time, he said: "I heard that the old leader Hong has gone. He is a hero in the world, and he is weaker. It's a pity. It's a pity. Your gang has appointed such a new leader. Oh, what a shame, what a shame!" At this moment Yang Kang has come to his senses, he listened to his face-to-face sarcasm, but dared not speak out, but he felt that his right palm was still burning like fire, and his five fingers were swollen like five yams .The Fourth Elder of the Beggar Gang didn't know how to interface.Qiu Qianren said: "I am calling today, and I have something to ask your help for advice, and besides, I have a great gift to offer." Elder Jian said: "I dare not, but please show me, Old Master Qiu." Qiu Qianren said: "A few days ago, a few brothers from our gang went out to do errands under the orders of the old man, somehow they offended two friends from your gang, and severely injured them. The brothers from our gang are not good at learning, so we didn't have anything to say at first. The news spread, but the iron palm gang can't afford to lose face. I don't know good and bad, so I have to learn the methods of the two friends of your gang." Yang Kang didn't have the slightest love for the brothers of the Beggar Gang, so he dared to offend him again for the sake of the two gang members, and immediately said: "Who caused trouble without authorization and fought with the friends of the Iron Palm Gang? Come out and apologize to the old gang leader Qiu .” 丐帮自洪七公接掌帮主以来，在江湖上从未失过半点威风，现下洪七公一死，新帮主竟如此软弱，群丐听了他这几句言语，无不愤恨难平。 黎生和余兆兴又从人丛中出来，走上数步。黎生朗声道：“启禀帮主：本帮帮规第四条言明，凡我帮众，须得行侠仗义，救苦扶难。前日我们两人路见铁掌帮的朋友欺压良民，还要掳掠妇女，我二人忍耐不住，是以出头阻止，动起手来，伤了铁掌帮的朋友。” 杨康道：“不管怎样，还是向裘老帮主赔罪罢。” 黎生和余兆兴对望一眼，气愤填膺，若不赔罪，那是违了帮主之命，若去赔罪，这口气实在难咽。黎生大声叫道：“众位兄弟，要是老帮主在世，决不能让咱们丢这个脸。今日小弟是宁死不辱！”顺手从里腿中抽出一把短刀，一刀插在心里，立时气绝。余兆兴扑上前去抢起短刀，在自己胸口也是一刀，死在黎生身上。 众丐见二人不肯受辱而自刎，群情汹涌，只是丐帮帮规极严，若无帮主号令，谁也不敢有甚么异动。 裘千仞淡淡一笑，道：“这件事如此了结，倒也爽快。现下我要给贵帮送一批礼物。”左手一挥，他身后数十名黑衣大汉打开携来的箱笼，各人手捧一盘，躬身放在杨康身边，盘中金光灿然，尽是金银珠宝之属。众丐见他们突然拿出金珠，更是诧异。裘千仞道：“铁掌帮虽然有口饭吃，可拿不出这等重礼，这份礼物是大金国赵王爷托老朽转送的。” 杨康又惊又喜，忙问：“赵王爷他在哪里？我要见他。”裘千仞道：“这是数月之前，赵王爷差人送到敝处的，命老朽有话转告贵帮。”杨康嗯了一声，心道：“那是爹爹南下之前安排下的事了，却不知他送礼给这批叫化儿们作甚？”只听裘千仞道：“赵王爷敬慕贵帮英雄，特命老朽亲自来献礼结纳。”杨康欣然道：“有劳老帮主贵步，何以克当？”裘千仞笑道：“杨帮主年纪虽轻，倒是十分的通情达理，那是远过洪帮主的了。” 杨康在燕京时未曾听说完颜洪烈要与丐帮打甚么交道，此时急欲知道他的用意，问道：“不知赵王爷对敝帮有何差遣，要请老帮主示下。”裘千仞笑道：“差遣二字，决不能提。赵王爷只对老朽顺便说起，言道北边地瘠民贫，难展骏足……”杨康接口道：“赵王爷是要我们移到南方来？”裘千仞笑道：“杨帮主聪明之极，适才老朽实是失敬。赵王爷言道：江南、湖广地暖民富，丐帮众兄弟何不南下歇马？那可胜过在北边苦寒之地多多了。”杨康笑道：“多承赵王爷与老帮主美意指点，在下自当遵从。” 裘千仞想不到对方竟一口答应，脸上毫无难色，倒也颇出意料之外，转念一想，料来此人年轻懦弱，适才给自己铁掌一捏之下，痛得死去活来，心中怕极，此刻自己不论说甚么，他都不敢有丝毫违抗，但丐帮在北方根深柢固，岂能说撤便撤？事后群丐计议，势必反悔，须当敲钉转脚，让丐帮将来无法反口，于是说道：“大丈夫一言而决。杨帮主今日亲口答应，丐帮众兄弟撤过大江，今后不再北返的了？” 杨康正欲答应，鲁有脚忽道：“启禀帮主：咱们行乞为生，要金珠何用？再说，我帮帮众数十万，足迹遍天下，岂能受人所限？还请帮主三思。” 杨康这时已然明白完颜洪烈的心意。他早知丐帮在江北向来与金人为敌，诸多掣肘，金兵每次南下，丐帮必在金兵后方扰乱，或刺杀将领，或焚烧粮食，若将丐帮人众南撤，自然大利金人南征，于是说道：“这是裘老帮主的一番美意，我们若是不收，倒显得不恭了。金珠宝物我不要半分，四位长老，待会尽数俵分与众兄弟罢。” 鲁有脚急道：“咱们洪老帮主号称'北丐'，天下皆闻，北边基业，岂能轻易舍却？我帮忠义报国，世世与金人为仇，礼物决不能收，撤过长江，更是万万不可。” 杨康勃然变色，正欲答话，彭长老笑道：“鲁长老，我帮大事是决于帮主，不是决于你罢？”鲁有脚凛然道：“若要忘了忠义之心，我是宁死不从。”杨康道：“简、彭、梁三位长老，你们之意若何？”简、梁二长老迟疑未答，均觉丐帮撤过长江之举颇为不妥。彭长老却大声道：“但凭帮主吩咐。属下岂敢有违？” 杨康道：“好，八月初一起，我帮撤过大江。”此言一出，群丐中倒有一大半鼓噪起来。杨康见众丐喧嚷，一时不知所措。简、彭、梁三老大声喝止，但鼓躁的皆是污衣派群丐，对三老都不加理会。 彭长老喝道：“鲁长老，你是要背叛帮主不成？”鲁有脚凛然道：“纵然千刀分尸，我也不敢欺尊灭长、背叛帮主。只是我帮列祖列宗遗训，鲁有脚更加不敢背弃。金狗是我大宋世仇，洪老帮主平日对咱们说什么话来？”简、梁二长老垂头不语，心中颇有悔意。 裘千仞见形势不佳，若不将鲁有脚制住，只怕此行难有成就，当下冷笑一声，对杨康道：“杨帮主，这位鲁长老跋扈得紧哪？”一语方罢，双手暴发，猛往鲁有脚肩上拿去。鲁有脚当他冷笑之时，已有防备，知他手掌厉害，不敢硬接，猛地里身形急矮，已从他胯下钻过，腰未伸直，呼呼呼三脚往他臀上踢去。他名字叫鲁有脚，这腿上功夫果然甚是了得，出足快捷无伦。裘千仞见他忽从自己胯下钻过，心想此人招数好怪，觉得身后风响，急忙回掌力拍，鲁有脚第三脚若是将劲用足，原可踢中他后臀，但若被对方铁掌击中，自己足胫却也经受不起，足到中途，硬生生收转，一个筋斗，从他身旁翻过，突然一口浓痰向裘千仞脸上吐去。裘千仞侧头避过，见他怪招百出，不觉一怔。 杨康喝道：“鲁长老不得对贵客无礼！”鲁有脚听得帮主呼喝，当即退了两步。裘千仞却毫不容情，双手犹似两把铁钳，往他咽喉扼来。鲁有脚暗暗心惊，翻身后退，只听得敌人“嘿”的一声，自己双手已落入他掌握之中。 鲁有脚身经百战，虽败不乱，用力上提没能将敌人身子挪动，立时一个头锤往他肚上撞去。他自小练就铜锤铁头之功，一头能在墙上撞个窟窿。某次与丐帮兄弟赌赛，和一头大雄牛角力，两头相撞，他脑袋丝毫无损，雄牛却晕了过去。现下这一撞纵然不能伤了敌人，但双手必可脱出他的掌握，哪知头顶刚与敌人肚腹相接，立觉相触处柔若无物，宛似撞入了一堆棉花之中，心知不妙，急忙后缩，敌人的肚腹竟也跟随过来。鲁有脚用力挣扎，裘千仞那肚皮却有极大吸力，牢牢将他脑袋吸住，惊惶之中只觉脑门渐渐发烫，同时双手也似落入了一只熔炉之中，既痛且热。 裘千仞喝道：“你服了么？”鲁有脚骂道：“臭老贼，服你甚么？”裘千仞左手用劲，格格几响，将他右手五指指骨尽数捏断，再问：“服了么？”鲁有脚又骂：“臭老贼，服你甚么？”格格几响，左手指骨又断。他疼得神智迷糊，口中却仍是骂声不绝。 裘千仞道：“我肚皮运劲，把你脑袋也轧扁了，瞧你还骂不骂？”语声未毕，丐群中忽地跃出一人，身高膀宽，正是郭靖。 只见他大踏步走到鲁有脚身后，高举右掌，在他后臀拍拍拍连打三下，清脆可闻。这三下虽然打在鲁有脚后臀之上，裘千仞只觉一股力道从鲁有脚头顶传向自己肚腹，腾腾腾连撞三下，这三下一撞重似一撞，登时将肚上的吸力尽数化解。鲁有脚斗然觉得头顶一松，急忙站直身子，但双手仍被对方紧握不放。郭靖叫道：“你不是裘老前辈敌手，走开罢！”左腿横扫，正好踢在他的肩头。 这一腿仍和适才一般，着力之处虽在他的身上，但受力之点却是传到裘千仞双臂。裘千仞但感虎口剧震，抓紧对方的掌力不由自主的松了。鲁有脚得此良机，借着郭靖这一腿之力斜里窜出，只是头顶被吸得久了，一阵天旋地转，站立不稳，倒在地上。 裘千仞见郭靖露了这三掌一腿，不由得暗惊，此人小小年纪，居然有隔物传劲的本事，想不到丐帮之中还有这等人物，当下紧守门户，并不抢先进攻。群丐却不明就里，先前早认定郭靖是杀害帮主的帮凶，又见鲁有脚被他踢倒，当下大声呼喊，纷纷拥上。
郭靖本来手足被钢丝和牛皮条绞成的绳索牢牢缚住，丝毫动弹不得，一直在仰观北斗，潜思全真七子当日在牛家村所使的阵法，再和记得滚瓜烂熟的《九阴真经》经文反复参照，许多疑难不明之处，一步步的在心中出现了解答。《九阴真经》为前辈高人自道藏中所悟，与马钰所传的全真派道家内功、全真七子的天罡北斗阵皆是一脉相通，只不过更为高深奥妙而已，只是郭靖悟心实在太差，事隔多月，始终领会不到其间的关连之处，此时见到天上北斗，这才隐隐约约的想到了。当裘千仞与杨康、简长老、鲁有脚等人一问一答之际，他却正自全神思念真经下卷中所述的“收筋缩骨法”。这缩骨法的最下乘功夫，是鼠窃狗盗的打洞穿窬之术，但练到上乘，却能将全身筋骨缩成极小的一团，就如刺猬箭猪之属遇敌蜷缩一般。郭靖在明霞岛上遵洪七公之嘱，起手习练“易筋锻骨篇”，此时已有小成，基础既佳，一经依法施为，不知不觉间就将手脚上束缚的绳索卸去。他身手之灵活，实胜于头脑十倍，绳索虽已卸脱，心中兀自不明白何以得能如此。 彭长老本在郭靖身畔，忽见他脱缚而出，吃惊非小，伸臂一把抓去没有抓住，俯首但见地下空余一团绳索，仍是牢牢的互相钩结，而缚着的人却如一条泥鳅般滑了出去，待要上前追赶，只见他已将鲁有脚救出。彭长老心想挺身上前未必能讨得了好去，口中大呼：“拿住这小贼！”双足却钉在地下不动。 郭靖被缚得久了，甚是气愤，体念黄蓉心意，想她小孩脾气，必然恼怒更甚，虽知群丐受杨康欺蒙，并非有意与自己为敌，但见众人高呼攻来，心道：“今日不好好打你们一顿，难消蓉儿胸中之气！”有心要试试刚好想通的天罡北斗阵法，双臂一振，足下已踏定了“天权”之位。 但见六七名丐帮帮众同时从前后左右扑到，郭靖双足挺立，凝如山岳，左臂横在胸前。先到的三名帮众同时伸手往他臂上抓去，郭靖只是不动，片刻间又有数人攻上。郭靖斗然间抽回手臂，滴溜溜的转了个圈子，在丐帮这几人后心疾施手脚，或推其背，或撞其腰，又或是踢其屁股，只听“哎唷”“啊哟”“贼厮鸟”一连串叫喊，六七人跌成一团。 郭靖心下欢喜：“这法子果然使得。”回过身来，正要去抓杨康跟他算帐，月光下只见两名丐帮帮众扑向黄蓉，只怕她受了伤害，相距既远，救援不及，自己身上又无暗器，情急之下，弯腰除下脚上一对布鞋用力直挥出去。这计策本来他也想不出来，但听江南六怪述说当年在法华寺大战的情形，二师父朱聪曾除鞋投掷丘处机，于是也学上一手。 那两名帮众惟恐黄蓉也如郭靖一般脱身，各持兵刃，要将她即行杀了，好替老帮主报仇，哪知刚奔到黄蓉身前，兵刃尚未举起，忽觉后心风声峻急，有物飞掷而至，知道有人暗算。一个武功较高，急忙转身，郭靖的鞋子正好打在他胸口，另一个未及回身，鞋子已到，却是打在背脊之上。布鞋虽然柔软轻飘，但被郭靖内力用上了，劲道亦是非同小可，两人立脚不住，一个仰跌，一个俯冲，齐齐滚倒。彭长老站在邻近，见郭靖以布鞋打人竟也如此刚猛凌厉，更是惊惧，忙退开数步。 郭靖挥手推开三名丐帮帮众，急奔到黄蓉身旁，俯身去解她身上绳索，只解开一个结，丐帮帮众已然涌到。郭靖索性坐在地下，就学丘处机、王处一等人以天罡北斗阵御敌之法，只伸右掌迎战，将黄蓉放在双膝之上，左手慢慢解那绳结。他曾得周伯通传授双手互搏、一心二用之术，这时左手解索，右手迎敌，丝毫不见局促。 不到一盏茶时分，靖、蓉二人身周已重重叠叠的围了成百名帮众，后面的人别说出手，连郭靖的身子也望不到一眼。 郭靖只以单掌防卫，始终不施攻击杀手，直到将黄蓉手脚上的绳索尽数解开，又取出她口中麻核，才道：“蓉儿，你没甚么伤痛罢？”黄蓉侧卧在他膝上，却不起身，说道：“就是混身酸麻，倒没受伤。”郭靖道：“好，你躺着歇一会儿，瞧我给你出气。”两人一个坐地，一个高卧，竟将四周兵刃乱响、高声喧哗的群丐视若无物。黄蓉笑道：“你动手罢，只是别当真伤了我的徒子徒孙。”郭靖道：“我理会得。”左掌轻轻抚摸她的一头秀发，右掌忽地发劲，砰砰砰三响，三名帮众从人群头顶飞了出去。 群丐一阵大乱，又有四人被他以掌力甩出。只听人群中有人叫道：“众兄弟退开，让八袋弟子对付两名小贼。”正是简长老的声音。群丐听到号令，纷纷散开，靖、蓉身旁只余下三人，另有五人从后抢上，八人分站四周。这八丐背后都背负八只麻袋，是丐帮中仅次于四大长老的人物，每人均统率一路帮众，那接引杨康的瘦胖二丐亦在其内。八袋弟子原共九人，黎生自刎而死，就只剩下八人了。 郭靖知道目下对手虽减，但个个都是高手，正欲站起，黄蓉低声道：“坐着打，你对付得了。别将他们瞧在眼里。”郭靖心想：“若是八人齐上，却是不易抵挡，须得先打倒几个。”认得胖瘦二丐是从牛家村接引杨康来此之人，左手抓起从黄蓉身上解下来的绳索，一招“断胫盘打”着地扫去。这是马王神韩宝驹当年所授金龙鞭法中的一招，鞭法虽同，只是他功力大进之后，使将出来便威力倍加。 胖瘦二丐见钢索扫到，忙纵身跃起闪避。郭靖舞动钢索，化成一道索墙，挡住前、左、后三方，却将右面留出空隙。这破绽正在胖瘦二丐身前，其余六丐却尽被钢索阻住，急切间攻不进去。二丐见有机可乘，立时扑上，只听得简长老急叫道：“攻不得！”但为时已然不及，郭靖掌去如风，拍拍两掌，分别击在二丐肩头。二丐身不由主的疾飞而出，撞向铁掌帮的一众黑衣汉子。 二丐受力虽同，但二人肥瘦有别，份量悬殊，重的跌得近，轻的飞出远。砰砰两响，撞倒了两名黑衣汉子。裘千仞原在一旁袖手观战，见二丐飞跌而出，也不以为意，但听到相撞之声，却不由得吃了一惊，心道：“我们的人非死必伤。”抢上前去，只见胖瘦二丐已一跃站起，并无损伤，铁掌帮的两名帮众却已被撞得筋折骨断，爬在地下。裘千仞大怒，刚欲回头，只听身后风响，又有两名丐帮的八袋弟子被郭靖以掌力甩了出来。 裘千仞知道郭靖所使的这般隔物传劲之力是远重近轻，丐帮弟子亲受者小，但被他们撞着了，受力却是极重，当下回臂将一丐往无人处斜里推出，随即双掌并拢，呼的一声，往另一丐背心击去。这一击是他生平赖以成名的铁掌功夫，若是胜过郭靖掌力，便不但抵消了来力，还能以余力重创那丐，否则自己纵不受伤，也会被击得跌倒或是后退。 丐帮四老和黄蓉知他这双掌一击是正面和郭靖的功力比拚，胜负之间，关系非小，俱都凝神注视，但见他双掌发出，那八袋弟子倒飞丈许，随即轻轻巧巧的落在地下，呆了一呆，转身又向郭靖奔去，竟是丝毫没有受伤。这一来，丐帮四老均知郭靖与裘千仞的武功大致是在伯仲之间，虽然郭靖稍有不及，却也相差不远，实是可惊可畏。黄蓉更感惊疑：“这老骗子功夫甚是寻常，怎能挡得住靖哥哥这一掌之力？这是硬接硬架的真本事，万万不能施甚鬼蜮伎俩，好教人难以索解。”裘千仞一招接过，已试出郭靖的真实功夫，以内力修为而论，自己尚胜他半筹，但这小子与丐帮友敌难分，自己身在险地，犯不着在此与他拚斗，当下右手一挥，约束铁掌帮诸人退后。 丐帮八袋弟子的武功只与尹志平、杨康之俦相若，郭靖一起手就击倒了四人，虽有一人回来重行加入战团，但郭靖将降龙十八掌与天罡北斗阵配在一起，以威猛之势，济以灵动之变，这五丐怎能抵挡得住？若非郭靖瞧在师父脸上，早已将五丐打得非死即伤，只斗了十余招，又以掌力震倒二丐。余下三丐不敢进攻，转身欲逃，郭靖左手钢索挥出，卷住二人足踝，扯到身旁。黄蓉道：“绑住了！”郭靖抄起钢索，将两人手足反缚在一起。 黄蓉见他大获全胜，既惊且喜，心想擒获自己的是那满脸笑容的彭长老，记得师父曾说过江湖上有一门慑心之术，能使人忽然睡去，受人任意摆布，毫无反抗之力，想来这彭长老所用的正是这门邪术，问道：“靖哥哥，《九阴真经》中载得有什么'慑心法'么？”郭靖道：“没有……”黄蓉好生失望，低声道：“提防那笑脸恶丐，莫与他眼光相接。”郭靖点头道：“我正要狠狠打这家伙一顿出气！”说着扶了黄蓉背脊，两人一齐站起身来。郭靖瞪视杨康，大踏步向他走去。 杨康当郭靖大展神威、力斗群丐之际，心中已自惴惴不安，只盼群丐倚多为胜，将他制服，哪知群丐逐一败退，郭靖却向自己逼来，只要被他一近身，哪里还有性命？情急之下，高声叫道：“四位长老，咱们这里无数英雄好汉，岂能任由这小贼猖狂？”嘴里喊得急，脚下也不慢了，忙退在简长老身后。简长老回首低声道：“帮主放心，小贼武功再高，总是敌不过人多，咱们用车轮战困死他。”提高嗓子叫道：“八袋弟子，布坚壁阵！” 一名八袋丐首应声而出，带头十多名帮众排成前后两列，各人手臂相挽，十六七人结成一堵坚壁，发一声喊，突然低头向靖、蓉二人猛冲过去。 黄蓉叫声：“啊哟！”闪身向左跃开。郭靖向右绕过，东西两边又有两排帮众冲了过来。郭靖见群丐战法怪异，待这坚壁冲近，竟不退避，双掌突发，往壁中那人身上推去。他掌力虽强，可是这坚壁阵合十余人的体重，再加上疾冲之势，哪里推挪得开？那坚壁中心受力，微微一顿，两翼却包抄上来。郭靖一
