Chapter 28 The twenty-eighth round of Iron Palm Peak
At this time Lu Youjiao had already woken up, the four elders gathered together to discuss.Lu Youjiao said: "Now the truth is not clear, we have to inquire both sides in detail, the most urgent thing is to find out the life and death of the old gang leader." The three elders of the Clean Clothes Sect said: "Since we have appointed the gang leader, how can we change it arbitrarily? The rules handed down by the ancestors of the gang, the orders of the gang leader must never be violated." The four argued endlessly.Both of Lu Youjiao's finger bones were broken, he could only grit his teeth and bear the pain, but he refused to give up in any words.
The three elders in Jingyi gestured to each other and walked to Yang Kang's side.Elder Peng said loudly: "We only believe in the words of Clan Leader Yang. This little demon girl helped a traitor to kill Elder Clan Leader Hong in an attempt to get rid of the crime, but she is talking nonsense here. She is bewitching people and must not listen to her. Brothers, take her down and torture her to force her to confess."
Guo Jing jumped up to the stage and shouted: "Who dares to do it?" Seeing his majesty, no one dared to come up to the stage.
Qiu Qianren led his disciples to stand far away, watching the fire from the other side, seeing the internal strife in the beggar gang, he was secretly happy.
Huang Rong said loudly: "Chairman Hong is currently in the inner forbidden palace of Lin'an. Because he loves to eat the food from the imperial kitchen and has no time to spare himself, he ordered me to take the position of the leader of this clan on his behalf. When he is full, come and meet him. See you all." Everyone in the Beggar Clan knows that the leader of the Hong clan is addicted to food, and they all think that these words are quite similar, but it is too unbelievable for a delicate girl like her to take the position of leader.
Huang Rong said again: "The little thief Wanyan from Dajin Kingdom invited the Iron Palm Gang to be his helper, plotted against me and stole the gang leader's dog-beating stick to deceive people. Why don't you distinguish between right and wrong and just believe it? I'll help you. The four elders are well-informed, how come they can't even see through this little trick?" The group of beggars suddenly heard her blaming each other, they couldn't help looking at the four elders, each with suspicious looks.
Yang Kang had come to this point, but he could only speak hard, and said: "You said that Hong's leader is still alive, why did he order you to take over as the leader? He wants you to be the leader, and what token does he have?" Huang Rong waved the bamboo stick: "This It's the gang leader's dog-beating stick, isn't it a token?" Yang Kang forced a big smile, and said, "Haha, this is obviously my staff, you took it from me just now, who wouldn't come?" Huang Rong said with a smile: " If Chief Hong gave you the dog-beating stick, how could he not teach you the dog-beating stick method? If he gave you the dog-beating stick method, how could I take this dog-beating stick?"
Yang Kang heard that she mentioned the dog-beating stick in four consecutive sentences, and thought she was insulting, and said loudly: "This is the staff of my gang leader, what kind of dog-beating stick is not a dog-beating stick, don't talk nonsense, blaspheme This is a treasure." He thought that his words were very decent and could please the crowd of beggars, but he didn't know that this bamboo stick was really called "Dog Beating Stick". Because the fat and thin beggars respected this stick, they never walked together with Yang Kang. Dare to call it "dog-beating stick".These few words of his obviously admitted that he didn't know the real name of this cudgel, the group of beggars immediately stared at each other with anger on their faces.Yang Kang knew that what he said was wrong, but he didn't know where he was wrong. He never expected that such an important staff would have such a vulgar name.
Huang Rong smiled slightly, and said: "The treasure is long, the treasure is short, if you want it, then take it." Stretched out the bamboo stick, waiting for him to pick it up.
Yang Kang was overjoyed and wanted to go to the stage to get his stick, but he was afraid of Guo Jing.Elder Peng said in a low voice: "Clan leader, we will take care of you. Bring it back first and then talk about it." Then he jumped up, followed by Yang Kang, Jian and Liang Erlao on the stage.Seeing that Huang Rong was left alone, Lu Youjiao also jumped onto the stage, with his hands hanging by his sides, thinking, "Although my finger bones are broken, I still have a pair of feet. Could it be that the name 'Lu Youjiao' was called for nothing?"
Huang Rong generously handed the bamboo stick to Yang Kang.Yang Kang guarded against her trickery, hesitated for a moment, raised his left palm to guard the door, and then took the stick.Huang Rong let go of the stick, and asked with a smile, "Are you holding it steady?" Yang Kang gripped the waist of the stick tightly, and asked angrily, "What?" come over.
The three elders Jian, Peng, and Liang were frightened and wanted to save them. The bamboo staff had already been in Huang Rong's hands. These three elders were all masters of martial arts.
Huang Rong threw the staff on the stage and said: "As long as you can hold it steadily, you can take it away." Yang Kang still hesitated, Elder Jian waved his long sleeves and rolled up the bamboo staff.This swipe and roll is clean and neat, and it is indisputable for those who are masters of the art.The group of beggars in the audience could see it clearly, and some people cheered.Elder Jian raised his staff over the top and handed it to Yang Kang.Yang Kang moved his right hand with strength, held it tightly, and thought: "Unless you chop off my right hand this time, there is nothing I can do to snatch it from you."
Huang Rong said with a smile: "When Master Hong taught you this stick, didn't he teach you to hold it firmly and not to be snatched away by others?" Amidst giggling laughter, lighten your feet, and talk between Jian and Liang. He leaned over and bullied Yang Kang in front of him.Elder Jian flipped his left wrist and grabbed it with his backhand, but Huang Rong's leap was exactly the "Happy Wandering" movement technique taught by Mrs. Hong Qi himself. He was as nimble as a swallow. Elder Jian missed it with this one. The distance was so close that he actually missed it. , it was really a rare thing in his life, his heart was only slightly shaken, and then he heard the sound of a stick sweeping across his heels.Jane and Liang hurriedly jumped up to avoid it.Huang Rong said with a smile: "The name of this trick is really offending, it's called 'Two Dogs with a Stick'!" The white shirt was fluttering, and she stood pretty in the east corner of Xuanyuan Terrace, the green and crystal bamboo stick was reflected in her hand. Under the moonlight, it emits a faint gleam.This time the stick was raised and lowered even faster, no one could see what kind of technique she was using.
Guo Jing yelled loudly: "To whom did Chief Hong pass the dog-beating stick? Don't you understand?" Seeing her grabbing the stick three times in a row, the beggars in the audience couldn't help becoming suspicious and discussing.
Lu Youjiao said loudly: "Brothers, this girl just made a move, it's really the work of the old gang leader." Elder Jian, Peng and Liang looked at each other, the three of them had followed Hong Qigong for a long time, and knew that this was indeed true. It is the martial arts of the old gang leader.Elder Jian said: "She is a disciple of the old gang leader, so she was naturally taught, what's so strange?" Lu Youjiao said: "The dog-beating stick method is not passed on to anyone other than the gang leader of the beggar gang. Don't tell me that Elder Jian doesn't know this rule?" Elder Jian sneered and said, "This girl has learned one or two clever tricks to snatch the sword with bare hands. Although it is great, it may not be the dog-beating stick?"
Lu Youjiao was also skeptical in his heart, and said: "Okay, miss, please try out the dog-beating stick technique. If it is indeed the true teaching of the old gang leader, the brothers of the Beggar Gang all over the world will naturally admire you." Elder Jian said: "This set of stick technique We all only hear the name, no one has seen it, who can tell the truth from the fake." Lu Youjiao said: "What do you say?" Elder Jian clapped his palms and shouted: "As long as this girl uses the stick Fa defeated my pair of fleshy palms, and the one surnamed Jane is determined to serve her as the master. If you have second thoughts, teach me to pierce my body with ten thousand arrows and tear apart a corpse with a thousand knives." Lu Youjiao said: "Hey, you are a master of this gang , has been well-known in the world twenty years ago. How old is this girl? How can she beat your skill of dozens of cold and heat?"
The two were arguing unresolved, Elder Liang was irritable, and the elder was impatient. He rushed towards Huang Rong and shouted: "The dog-beating stick method is true or not, just try it. Look at the knife!" Huhuhu He slashed three times in a row, the cold light was shining, these three swords were powerful and fast, but they all avoided Huang Rong's vital points, they were fast and accurate, worthy of being a master of the Beggar Clan.
Huang Rong inserted the bamboo stick into her belt, her feet didn't move, her upper body swayed slightly, avoiding the three knives, she said with a smile: "You can also use the dog-beating stick method? Are you worthy?" The left hand moved in, but the right came out Snatch the sword from his hand.
Elder Liang has been famous for a long time, when he saw that this young girl treated him with such contempt, he was furious, and after three strikes, he immediately slashed and slashed hard, repeatedly using unique moves.Elder Jian was no longer hostile to Huang Rong as before, knowing that there must be hidden secrets, he was afraid that Elder Liang would act recklessly and hurt her, so he shouted: "Elder Liang, don't kill me." Huang Rong smiled and said: "You're welcome! "The body was erratic, punching and kicking, elbows bumping fingers, changing more than a dozen sets of martial arts in an instant.
The group of beggars in the audience were dazzled.The thin beggar among the eight-pocket disciples suddenly shouted: "Ah, this is a lotus palm!" The fat beggar followed suit: "Hey, this little girl can also use copper hammers!" Already changing the boxing technique, the masters of the beggar gang in the audience called out one by one: "Ah, this is the master's martial art." "Aha, she uses the iron broom kick! This move is 'breaking the enemy with one hand'!"
It turned out that Hong Qigong was lazy by nature and didn't like accepting disciples to pass on kung fu. He only taught one move and two styles as a reward to the disciples of the Beggar Clan who made great achievements.Li Sheng did everything without regard for his own life, and he only learned a move from the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, "Dragon Wagging Tail".Hong Qigong also has a temper. After the kung fu has been passed on to one person, it will not be passed on to others. Therefore, the brothers of the beggar gang have learned differently. In Jiangmiao Town, near the coast, he learned dozens of sets of martial arts from him, but she likes to play too much, and only learns a few moves for each martial art.Hong Qigong didn't bother to give detailed instructions, seeing that Huang Rong's learning was half-understood and only had a formality, he didn't bother with her.At this time, she wanted to show off in front of the group of beggars, displaying the skills passed down by Hong Qigong one by one, those who had learned it among the group of beggars couldn't help shouting.Elder Liang's saber technique is exquisite, if it's based on real kung fu, it's better than Huang Rong's, but she kept changing weird moves one after another, she was dazzled for a while, she didn't dare to make any moves, she only used a single sword to keep the water from entering, and tightly guarded the door.
In the shadow of the sword light fist, Huang Rong suddenly put her palms on her chest, and said with a smile, "Are you sure you've been defeated?" Elder Liang hasn't shown his strengths yet, how can he admit defeat?The single-knife suddenly flipped out from his arms, and the vertical blade was slanted.Huang Rong didn't evade, she let him slash with the saber, only to hear the beggars exclaim in unison, Elder Jian and Lu Youjiao shouted: "Stop!" Elder Liang also knew it was wrong, he quickly raised the saber and swung it up, but he stopped Unable to catch up, he just slashed at Huang Rong's left shoulder, screaming inwardly: "Not good!" Although the knife was closed in the middle, the cutting force was not heavy, but it must have injured Huang Rong. With a sound, the single knife fell to the ground.How did he know that Huang Rong was wearing a soft hedgehog armor, and the steel knife could not hurt her. Just when he wanted to accept it but was shocked and regretted, the "Huizong Point" three inches behind his wrist had been passed down by Huang Rong as "Orchid Flower Point". Whisk the acupoint hand" Whisk the middle.
Huang Rong stretched out her foot to step on the single saber, turned her head and smiled and said, "Why?" Elder Liang thought that the saber must have slashed the opponent, but he didn't know that she was not damaged at all, and he was shocked to find that she was wearing a protective robe. Dare to answer, quickly back away.Yang Kang said: "She is Huang Yaoshi's daughter, and she is wearing a soft armor that is invulnerable to swords and guns, so there is nothing unusual about that."
Elder Jian lowered his eyebrows and meditated.Huang Rong smiled and said, "Why? Do you believe it?" Lu Youjiao winked and told her to accept it when she was happy.He saw that although Huang Rong's martial arts were extensive, her skill was not as deep as Elder Liang's. If it wasn't for a surprise victory, at most it could only be a tie. Elder Jian's martial arts were far superior to Elder Liang's. Huang Rong was definitely not his opponent, but seeing her smiling He ignored his eyes, was very anxious, and was about to speak, the bones of his hands were crushed by Qiu Qianren, he endured it for a long time, at this time the pain was even more severe, his whole body was in cold sweat, how could he be able to speak?
Elder Jian raised his head slowly, and said, "Girl, I'm here to learn!" Guo Jing saw that he was calm and calm, his hands were stiff and his steps were sluggish, and he knew Huang Rong was no match for him, so he decided to embrace him and picked up the bundled clothes. The cowhide rope took a few steps forward, swung it vigorously, and the cowhide rope flew out, entangled Elder Jian's steel staff that Qiu Qianren had inserted into the rock, and shouted: "Get up!" The steel staff was pulled by the rope and flew into the air. out.
The steel stick was originally aimed at Elder Jian, Guo Jing jumped forward, grabbed the middle, and struck the stick with the palm of "Time Riding Six Dragons".This is a move in the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, and its strength is extraordinary.Driven by this force, the steel staff suddenly turned around and flew obliquely.Guo Jing stretched out his hand to catch it, held the head of the stick with his left hand, and performed a stance of "Misty clouds will not rain", and held the tail of the stick with his right hand, and performed a stance of "If there is damage, there will be blessings". , the steel rod that was originally bent into an arc by Qiu Qianren slowly straightened again under the pull of two forces.He clapped his palms together and made the move "see the dragon in the field", the edge of his palm hit the waist of the stick, and shouted: "take the weapon!" The steel stick flew towards Elder Jian.
The steel rod flew towards it from the air, swift as a wind and thunder, and unstoppable, Elder Jian knew that if he stretched out his hand to catch it, the bones of his hand would be broken immediately, so he jumped away in a hurry, afraid of hurting all the beggars in the audience, he shouted: "Quick, my audience!" Get out of the way!" Huang Rong suddenly stretched out the bamboo stick, put the end of the stick on the waist of the steel stick, and gently pressed it down.There is a saying in martial arts: "Four or two strokes of a thousand catties", although this pressing force is light, it is an exquisite move of "squeezing the dog's back" in the dog beating stick method. "You use a steel stick, I use a bamboo stick, and we'll play tricks together."
Elder Jian was amazed, and made up his mind to surrender in case of defeat. He bent down to pick up the steel staff, with the head of the staff facing down and the tail of the staff facing upwards, bowing and saying, "Ma'am, please be merciful." In the martial arts, juniors and elders are very respectful when fighting moves, which means that they dare not draw an enemy, but just ask for advice.
Huang Rong stretched out the bamboo stick, and with a stance of "Pull the dog towards the sky", picked up the head of the steel stick and said with a smile: "Don't be too polite, I'm afraid I'm not as good as you." This steel stick was used by Elder Jian The weapon that has been handy for decades, was gently picked up by her, but she couldn't hold it, the head of the staff turned straight up, and hit her forehead, she hurriedly raised her wrist to stop it, and was even more secretly surprised. One move, the steel stick moves "Qin King Whip Stone", from the back with the shoulder as a support, pull it down, using the "crazy magic wand method" handed down by Lu Zhishen, a hero in Liangshanpo.
Huang Rong saw that his blow was extremely powerful, she thought that as long as she was swept by the tail of his staff, even with the hedgehog armor protecting her body, she would not be able to protect herself from internal injuries, so she didn't dare to be negligent, and unfolded the "Dog Beating Stick Technique" taught by her master. , bullying straight up in the flash of the steel rod.The steel staff weighs more than 30 catties, but the bamboo stick only weighs more than ten taels, but the stick technique passed down from generation to generation by the beggar gang masters is indeed subtle and subtle. Er's arm's steel staff was forced to be unable to use it by a small bamboo stick.
In the early days, Elder Jian was afraid of accidentally breaking the family's handed down stick, so he used the stick with great measure, and immediately retracted the stick when it was about to touch the bamboo stick.Little did he know that Huang Rong's stick technique was extremely fierce, some acupuncture points, or stabs at vital points, Elder Jian was forced to withdraw his stick to block back, after more than ten rounds, he saw stick shadows in all directions, unable to parry with all his strength, how could there be anything else? In your spare time, do you not want to touch the bamboo stick head-on?
Guo Jing was amazed: "Master's martial arts are really unpredictable." He thought again: "I don't know where the old man is now? Is the injury healed?" Suddenly Huang Rong's stick fighting changed, three sticks Grab the waist of the stick with your fingers, and dance the bamboo stick into a circle, as if playing a game.
Elder Jian froze, shook his steel staff, and tapped the opponent's left shoulder fiercely.Huang Rong's bamboo stick flipped over quickly, placed the steel stick about a foot away from the head of the stick, and pulled it outwards. Nine out of ten out of ten moves were borrowed from the opponent's strength.Elder Jian only felt that the steel staff was about to fly out of his hand, so he hurriedly retracted it, but unexpectedly the steel staff was stuck to the bamboo stick, the steel staff retracted, and the bamboo stick moved forward.He was shocked in his heart, he changed the stick method seven or eight times, but he couldn't get rid of the bamboo stick's sticking.
The dog-beating stick technique has eight tactics of stumbling, chopping, wrapping, poking, picking, leading, sealing, and turning. Huang Rong is using the word "wrap". After the big tree, let the tree be dozens of times thicker, no matter how straight and straight it is, it is impossible to get rid of the bondage again.After a few tricks, Elder Jian put his arms into his arms, and used the "Very Vigorous Vajra Staff Technique", moving the steel staff like a whistling wind, but when he swung the staff to the east, the bamboo stick followed to the east, and when he hit the west, the bamboo stick followed. Follow to the west.Huang Rong didn't use any force, she followed the staff with her stick, it seemed that she was at the mercy of Elder Jian, but in fact, she followed her body like a shadow, using her strength to defeat the enemy, just like when Guo Jing tamed the little red horse, he let it run wildly, always riding on the horse's back above.
Halfway through using the Vigorous Vajra Staff, Elder Jian no longer had any doubts, and was about to withdraw the staff to admit defeat, Elder Peng suddenly shouted: "Use the grasping hand, grab her stick head." Huang Rong said: "Okay, you catch it!" The stick method changed again, and the word "Zhuan" was used. The tactic of "Twist" is to follow the enemy's things, and the tactic of "Zhuan" is to make the enemy follow oneself, but when the bamboo stick turned into a blue shadow, Elder Jian hit "Qiangjian", "Fengfu", The main points of "Dazhui", "Lingtai" and "Xuanshu".These acupoints are all in the center of the back, as long as they are hit by the end of the stick, it will either cause death or injury.Elder Jian knew very well, he couldn't turn back his stick to save him, so he had to jump forward to avoid it, but Huang Rong's blows were continuous, he missed a single point, and then hit another point, the shadow of the stick only swayed on the points behind his back dangle away.
Elder Jian couldn't do anything, so he had to rush forward, but he avoided the front stick, and the back stick came again.He stepped harder, trying to wait for the opportunity to turn around, but the faster he jumped, the more urgent the stick came.The beggars in the audience saw him running and jumping around Huang Rong, making big circles.Huang Rong stood in the center, holding the stick without leaving his back. The bamboo stick passed from left hand to right hand, and then from right hand to left hand. She didn't even need to turn her body, so she could relax and relax.Elder Jian's circle became bigger and bigger, forcing Lu Youjiao, Elder Peng and Elder Liang to step down and avoid.Elder Jian ran seven or eight more circles, and shouted loudly: "Miss Huang, you are merciful, I surrender to you!"
Huang Rong smiled and said, "What did you call me?" Elder Jian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! The villain should be damned, and the villain will see the leader." He wanted to turn around and salute, but seeing that the bamboo stick did not let go, he had to continue running. Sweating profusely, the white beard is full of water droplets.The anger in Huang Rong's heart had disappeared, so she didn't let it go, she smiled on her cheeks, retracted the bamboo stick, and used the "tiao" tactic, hooked the steel stick and threw it upwards, transferring the force of Elder Jian's sprinting to the stick , the steel rod flew into the sky.
Elder Jian immediately withdrew his hands as if he was being pardoned, turned around and bowed deeply.When the group of beggars in the audience saw her supernatural skill of dog beating stick, there was no doubt about it, and they shouted in unison: "See the leader!" They stepped forward and saluted.
Elder Jian took a step forward, and was about to spit a mouthful of saliva on Huang Rong's face, but saw that her white jade face had the color of coral, as delicate as a spring flower, as beautiful as a morning glow, how could this mouthful of saliva be spit on?One hesitated, and with a gurgling sound, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva into his throat, but he heard the sound of the wind above his head, and the steel staff was about to fall down. He was afraid that Huang Rong would be suspicious, so he didn't dare to raise his hand to catch it, and jumped away.
But seeing a figure flickering, one person jumped onto the stage and caught the steel staff. It was Elder Peng who was the third among the four elders.Huang Rong was most annoyed when he caught him with the "Frightening Method". Seeing that this person came up, just as she wanted, she didn't say a word, so she raised a stick and tapped the "Zigong Point" on his chest, and wanted to use the word "Zhuan" to connect her. Hitting his big chest point, forcing him to back up, he was even more embarrassed than Elder Jian just now.Unexpectedly, Elder Peng is very cunning, he knows that his kung fu is not as good as Elder Jian, and he is still invincible, so he doesn't have to try again.
Huang Rong put the stick end on his "Zigong acupoint", without any energy, she said angrily: "What do you want?" Elder Peng said: "For a villain, see the gang leader." Huang Rong glared at him angrily, and met his gaze Then, I couldn't help being slightly shocked in my heart, and turned my head hastily, but it was strange to say that I knew that looking at his eyes would hurt me, but I couldn't help but want to look at him again.Looking back, I saw that his eyes were full of brilliance, which was soul-stirring.It was too late to turn around this time, so I immediately closed my eyes.Elder Peng smiled and said: "Master, you are tired, you should take a rest!" His voice was soft and pleasant to the ear.Huang Rongguo felt exhausted all over her body, she thought to herself that she should take a rest after being tired for most of the night, when she thought about it, her eyes were sore, her mouth was sore, and she was exhausted.
Now that Elder Jian has enshrined Huang Rong as the leader of the gang, he must do his best to protect her. Knowing that Elder Peng wanted to use the "intimidating technique", he stepped forward and shouted: "Elder Peng, how dare you do anything to the leader of the gang?" Elder Peng smiled, Whispered: "The main helper rests, she is really tired, don't disturb her."
Huang Rong knew the danger in her heart, but her whole body was sore and limp, and she wanted to close her eyes and fall into a deep sleep. Even if the sky fell, she had to sleep first before talking. Just when she was half unconscious and half awake, she suddenly remembered what Guo Jing said. In a word, he immediately woke up as if awakened from a dream, and shouted: "Brother Jing, do you think there is a 'spirit-shifting method' in the scriptures?"
Guo Jing had already seen that something was wrong, and thought that if Elder Peng used evil methods again, he would immediately go up and shoot him dead. Hearing what Huang Rong said, he hurriedly jumped onto the stage and recited the scriptures in her ear.
Huang Rong listened to Guo Jing reciting the scriptures, and told her to follow the method of tranquility and insight, from "controlling the mind" to "realizing the body". They depend on each other densely and densely, and they will be silent and quiet for a short time. When you open your eyes, if your mind is intentional or unintentional, you have reached the state of ecstasy.
Seeing her eyes closed for a long time, Elder Peng thought that she had been bewitched by his own words, fell into a drowsy sleep, was delighted in himself, and was about to play tricks again, when he suddenly saw her open her eyes and smiled slightly at him, he responded slightly back. He smiled, but seeing her smile even more happily, for some reason, he felt that his whole body was light and beautiful, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Huang Rong thought to herself that the kung fu recorded in the "Nine Yin Manual" is indeed incomparably powerful, with just a smile, she has already surpassed the other party, so she smiled slightly.Elder Peng knew something was wrong, so he tried his best to calm his mind, but he was so panic-stricken, his mind was even more difficult to control, seeing Huang Rong laughing with dimples, how could he control himself, stood up, and laughed wildly.He could only hear him ha ha, hee hee, aha, ah yo, shouting and laughing, the louder the laughter, the laughter spread far across the lake.
The group of beggars looked at each other, not knowing what he was laughing at.Elder Jian kept calling: "Elder Peng, what are you doing? How dare you be so disrespectful to the leader?" Elder Peng pointed at his nose and bent over laughing.Elder Jian thought there was something weird on his face, so he stretched out his sleeve and wiped it vigorously.Elder Peng laughed even harder, turned somersault, fell off the stage, and rolled on the ground laughing.
Only then did the group of beggars realize that something was wrong.Elder Peng's two confidant disciples rushed forward to help each other, but he pushed them away with a wave of his hand, laughing unceasingly to themselves, before it was time for a cup of tea, they were so breathless and their faces were swollen purple.It should be noted that "mind-intimidating technique" or "soul-moving method" is to control the other party's mind with a single-minded and strong spiritual power. , It's just that I knew it at the time but didn't know why, so I couldn't help but shock the world.If it were an ordinary person, after receiving this soul-transferring method, he would just feel drowsy, and there was no serious problem, but he was concentrating on using a frightening technique to deal with Huang Rong, and she suddenly fought back. What ordinary people suffer is ten times worse.
Elder Jian thought that if he laughed for a while, he would die of suffocation, so he bowed to Huang Rong and said, "Respect to the leader: Elder Peng was rude to the leader, and he should be severely punished, but please forgive him a lot." Elder Liang also bowed down and begged, and Elder Peng's hoarse laughter was mixed in his pleading voice.
Huang Rong said to Guo Jing, "Brother Jing, is that enough?" Guo Jing said, "That's enough, let him be spared." Spit on me." Elder Jian saw that Elder Peng's life was imminent, and hurriedly said: "The gang rules are established by the gang leader, and can also be abolished by the gang leader, disciples only follow orders." Seeing that Huang Rong could avoid the disaster of spitting, she felt in her heart Overjoyed, he smiled and said, "Okay, you go and touch his acupoints."
Elder Jian jumped off the stage, stretched out his hands to touch Elder Peng's two acupoints, Elder Peng stopped laughing, rolled his eyes, gasped for breath, and was extremely exhausted.
Huang Rong laughed and said, "I really want to rest now! Hey, what about Yang Kang?" Guo Jing said, "Let's go!" Huang Rong jumped up and shouted, "Why did you let him go? Where did he go?" Guo Jing pointed In the middle of the lake, he said, "He is gone with that old man Qiu." Huang Rong looked at the shadow of the sail in the lake, saw that the distance was far away, and she couldn't catch up with her. Do nothing.
It turned out that Yang Kang saw that Huang Rong and Elder Jian had the upper hand as soon as they made a move. He knew that if he didn't go, his life would be in danger immediately. save.Seeing the situation, Qiu Qianren saw that the situation for Huang Rong to take over as the head of the clan was over, it was irreversible, Guo and Huang's martial arts were strong, the Beggars' Sect was formidable, so he calmly led the gang and took Yang Kang off the island.Although some disciples of the Beggar Clan saw it, but Jian and Huang Ji were fighting fiercely, no one was in charge of the overall situation, so they could only let them go and ignore them.
Holding the stick in her hand, Huang Rong said in a loud voice: "Chairman Hong has not returned yet, so I will take care of the affairs of the leader for the time being. The two elders, Jian and Liang, led eight bags of disciples, and went east to meet Lord Hong. Elder Lu is here to recuperate from his wounds." Thunderous cheers.
Huang Rong said again: "Elder Peng has a wicked mind, how do you think we should deal with it?" Elder Jian bowed and said, "Brother Peng has committed a serious crime and should have been severely punished, but please remember that he has made great contributions to our gang in the past. spare him the death penalty." Huang Rong said with a smile: "I expected you to intercede, well, just now he laughed enough, he dismissed his elders, let him be an eight-pouch disciple." Jane, Lu , Peng, and Liang all thanked each other.Huang Rong said: "It's rare for the brothers to meet, so there must be a lot to talk about. You buried Li Sheng and Yu Zhaoxing well. I think Elder Lu is the best person, and he listens to his orders for all important matters. The two elders, Jian and Liang, helped each other wholeheartedly. I'm leaving now, let's meet at Lin'an Mansion." Holding Guo Jing's hand, he went down the mountain.
The group of beggars went straight to the foot of the mountain, and when she disappeared in the smoke in the boat, they went back to Junshan to discuss the big plan of the gang.
When Guo and Huang returned to Yueyang Tower, it was already dawn, and the red horse and the two eagles were waiting by the building. Huang Rong raised her head and looked into the distance, only to see a round of red sun jumping out from the waves of Dongting Lake. Swallowing the Yangtze River, the vastness of the soup, the horizon is endless. The morning sun and the evening are cloudy, and the weather is myriad. 'How can we not appreciate such a scenery? Let's go up and drink a few more cups.' Guo Jing said hello. Thinking of all the thrills at night, they couldn't help looking at each other and smiling. There is no good wine in Yueyang, but the landscape is pleasant and self-sufficient.The two drank a few cups to each other, Huang Rong suddenly had a pretty face, with an angry look on her brows, and said, "Brother Jing, you are not good!" Guo Jing was startled, and quickly asked, "What's the matter?" I know. Ask me why?" Guo Jing scratched his head in thought, but he couldn't think of anything, so he begged: "Good Ronger, you can tell me." Huang Rong said: "Okay, let me ask you: last night we were crowded by the beggar gang's formation and saw that our lives were in danger. Why are you leaving me? Could it be that I can live after you die? Don’t you know my heart to this day?” As he spoke, tears fell, drop by drop into the wine glass.Seeing that she loved him so much, Guo Jing felt surprised and loved her so much, he stretched out his hand to hold her right hand, but he didn't know what to say. After a while, Fang said: "It's my fault. We must die together." Huang Rong sighed softly, and was about to speak, when she heard footsteps on the stairs, someone looked around.The two raised their heads and met each other suddenly, all three of them were taken aback.It was Qiu Qianren floating on the iron palm that came up. Guo Jing hurriedly stood up and stood in front of Huang Rong, fearing that the old man would kill him suddenly.Unexpectedly, Qiu Qianren grinned, raised his hand to say hello, and immediately turned around and went downstairs. This smile seemed both slippery and panicked.Huang Rong said: "He's afraid of us. This man is really strange, I'll go down and have a look." Before Guo Jing could answer, she rushed downstairs. Guo Jing shouted: "Be careful!" He hurriedly took out a piece of silver and threw it on the counter, ran out of the building door, looked on both sides, and saw no shadows of Qiu Qianren and Huang Rong. Spicy, I'm afraid Huang Rong will be murdered by him, and shouted: "Rong'er, Rong'er, where are you?" Huang Rong heard Guo Jing's call, but she didn't answer, she followed Qiu Qianren quietly, to find out what happened, and when she made a sound, he would naturally detect it.At this time, the two were walking beside a big house, one after the other.Huang Rong hid behind the north wall corner, and followed Qiu Qianren after she was far away.Qiu Qianren heard Guo Jing's call, and knew that Huang Rong was following, and when she turned the corner, she also hid.The two stayed for a long while, listening carefully but there was no movement. They poked their heads at the same time. One had a beautiful face like a lotus on the Xiangjiang River, and the other had an old face like an orange peel in Dongting Lake. The distance between the two faces was less than half a foot, and both faces changed color at the same time. The two called out softly, turned and left.Although Huang Rong was afraid that his palm might be strong, she still didn't give up. She circled around the wall of the mansion for more than half a circle, fearing that he would go too far, so she used lightness kung fu and ran very fast, wanting to get behind the east corner and spy again. She changed her mind, and Qiu Qianren was also thinking in the same way. The old and the young went around the mansion, and suddenly bumped into one place again, but this time they met behind the south-facing screen wall. Huang Rong thought: "If I turn around and retreat, he will give me a palm on the back. This old thief has a strong iron palm, I'm afraid I can't dodge it." She smiled slightly and said, "Old man Qiu, the world is so small, we meet again Lah." But he was secretly planning a way out: "I'll spend time with him, and I won't be afraid of him when brother Jing arrives." Qiu Qianren said with a smile: "I left in Lin'an that day, and unexpectedly met here again. The girl is safe." Huang Rong thought to herself, "I saw you, an old thief, in Junshan last night, but today I came here to talk nonsense again. Well, you can keep your eyes open and talk in your sleep. My dog-beating stick is very good, and I can't wait for it Hit him by surprise." Suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Brother Jing, hit him in the back." Qiu Qianren was startled, and when he turned around to look, Huang Rong swung out his bamboo stick and swept it on the ground with the Chinese character "tripping". Qiu Qianren turned around and saw no one, so he knew that he had hit the trick. Sensing the strong wind blowing down his body, he jumped up hastily and finally avoided a move. To, the enemy must not be allowed to have the slightest chance to breathe. If one trip is missed, the second trip will continue. The chain of hooks and plates, although there is only one word "trip", there are ever-changing changes in the middle.Qiu Qianren jumped faster and faster, but he saw a piece of green light made of green bamboo whirling around the ground. "Trip" to 17 or 8 times, Qiu Qianren leaned forward a little slower, was swiped on the left shin by the bamboo stick, hooked on the right ankle, fell to the ground, opened his mouth and yelled: "Hold on slowly, I have something to say." Huang Rong put the stick back with a smile, and when he jumped up, before he landed, he picked and hit him again.Qiu Qianren couldn't stand and fell on his back.In a short while, Huang Rong tripped him five times in a row, and fell down for the sixth time. Qiu Qianren knew that if he got up again, he would have to fall one more time, so he prostrated himself on the ground without moving.Huang Rong laughed and said, "Are you pretending to be dead?" Qiu Qianren stood up in response, and with a slap, broke the belt of her trousers with both hands, lifted the waist of her trousers, and shouted, "Will you go or not, I want to let go!" Huang Rong was stunned, He never expected that he, the leader of a big gang in the world, would come up with such a dirty trick. He was afraid that he would drop his pants, spit, turn around and leave.I could only hear the old man behind him laughing, very proud, and then the sound of footsteps, Huang Rong turned around and saw him running after him with both hands on the waist of his trousers. Huang Rong was very angry and funny, but she was very resourceful and had no choice but to run away.The two ran forward for more than ten feet, Qiu Qianren was about to stop when he was ready, when he suddenly saw Guo Jing turn out from the corner of the room, rushing to block Huang Rong, with his right palm covering his chest, and his left palm slowly raised from his crotch, making a semicircle , Stretched to the chest.Qiu Qianren was well-informed and knew that as long as he clasped his palms into a ball, he would immediately perform extremely powerful moves. He immediately laughed three times, stopped and shouted: "Oh, it's not good, it's bad, it's bad." Huang Rong said: "Brother Jing, fight, don't pay attention to his nonsense." Guo Jing saw Qiu Qianren's iron palm kung fu on the top of Junshan last night, it was sharp, ruthless and exquisite, it was not among Zhou Botong, Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng and others. Now, I am not as good as I am. How dare I have the slightest intention to underestimate the enemy when we meet on a narrow road at this time?At this moment, Qi gathers in the dantian, all limbs and bones are loose, and the enemy is fully focused. Qiu Qianren held the waistband of his trousers with both hands, and said: "Two babies, let's hear from your grandpa, your grandpa has been gluttonous for the past two days, and his stomach was ruined, but he is about to show respect again." Huang Rong only called: "Brother Jing hit him. "I didn't dare to move forward, but took a few steps back.Qiu Qianren said: "I know what you two dolls are thinking. If you don't let your grandpa teach you a lesson, it's always hard to be convinced. It's just that your grandpa has a stomachache recently. When it's a critical moment, the things in his stomach always go away. Come out to make trouble. Well, the two children have heard, within seven days, your grandfather will be waiting for you at the foot of Iron Palm Mountain, do you have the guts to come?" Huang Rong listened to the nonsense that his grandfather was long and the baby was short, and she had already buckled a handful of steel needles in her hand, and when he said it happily, she would use the technique of "raining flowers all over the sky" to nail dozens of needles all over his body. Needle, see if he still dares to chew the root of his tongue?I was making calculations in my heart, when I suddenly heard the word "Under the Iron Palm Mountain", I immediately thought of the four lines of secret words in Qu Lingfeng's left painting, my heart shivered, and I said: "Okay, if you are a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, we will also Come and make a breakthrough. At that time, we will have to be serious, and you are not allowed to mess around anymore. Where is Iron Palm Mountain? How can we get out of it?" 裘千仞道：“从此处向西，经常德、辰州，溯沅江而上，泸溪与辰溪之间有座形如五指向天的高山，那就是铁掌山了。那山形势险恶，你爷爷的手脚又厉害无比，两个娃娃若是害怕，那乘早向你爷爷赔个不是，也就别来啦。”黄蓉听到“形如五指向天”六字，心中更喜，道：“好，一言为定，七日之内，我们必来拜山。”裘千仞点点头，忽然愁眉苦脸，连叫：“啊哟，啊哟！”提着裤腰向西疾趋。 郭靖道：“蓉儿，有一件事我实在推详不透，你说给我听。”黄蓉道：“甚么事？”郭靖道：“这位老前辈的武功本来厉害之极，我们决非他敌手，怎么老是爱玩弄骗人伎俩？有时又假装武功低微？那日归云庄上他在我胸口击了一掌，若是他使出真力，我今日哪里还有命在？他装疯乔癫，到底是甚么用意？”黄蓉轻轻咬着手指，沉思半晌，道：“我也真个不懂。刚才我用打狗棒法接连绊了他几交，这老儿毫无还手之力，只好撒赖使泼。莫非昨晚他拗曲钢杖，又是甚么诈术！”郭靖摇头道：“他捏碎鲁有脚双手，用掌力接我内劲，那都是真实本领，决计假装不来。” 黄蓉俯下身来，拿着头上珠钗在地下画来画去，又过半晌，叹口气道：“我可想不出这老儿在闹甚么玄虚啦。咱们到了铁掌山，终究会有个水落石出。”郭靖道：“到铁掌山干么？此间大事已了，咱们快找师父去。这糟老头儿就爱捣鬼，岂能拿他作真？”黄蓉道：“靖哥哥，我问你。爹爹给你那幅画给雨淋湿了，透了些甚么字出来？”郭靖搔了搔头道：“那些字残缺不全，早瞧不出甚么意思啦。”黄蓉笑道：“那你不会想么？”郭靖明知自己想不出，就算想出甚么，也决不如黄蓉想得明白，忙道：“好蓉儿，你一定想出了，快说给我听。” 黄蓉用钗儿将那四行字划在地下，说道：“第一行少了的，必是个'武'字，凑起来就是'武穆遗书'四字。第二行我本来猜想不出，给那老儿一说，那就容易不过，不是'山'字，就是个'峰'字。” 黄蓉念了一遍：“武穆遗书，在铁掌山。”郭靖双掌一拍，大声叫道：“好啊，咱们快去！铁掌帮与金人勾结，定会将这部宝书献给完颜洪烈。下面两句是甚么呢？”黄蓉笑道：“你自己不用心思，偏爱催人家。那老儿说这铁掌山形如五指，那第三句只怕是'中指峰下'四字。”郭靖拍手叫道：“对对，蓉儿你真聪明。第四句，第四句！”黄蓉沉吟道：“我就是想不出这句啊。第二……节，第二……节。”头一侧，秀发微扬，道：“想不出，我们去了再说。”
两人纵马引雕，径自西行，过常德，经桃源，下沅陵，不一日已到泸溪，询问铁掌山的所在，却是人人摇头不知。两人好生失望，只得寻一家小客店宿了。晚间黄蓉问起当地名胜古迹，店小二滔滔不绝的说了许多，却始终不提“铁掌山”三字。黄蓉小嘴一撇，道：“这些去处也平常得紧。泸溪毕竟是小地方，有甚好山好水？”那店小二受激，甚是不忿，道：“泸溪虽是小地方，可是猴爪山的风景，别处哪里及得上？”黄蓉心中一动，忙问：“猴爪山在哪里？”那店小二不再答话，说道：“恕罪则个。”出房去了。 黄蓉追到门口，一把抓住他后心拉了回来，摸出一锭银子放在桌上，道：“你说个清清楚楚，这银子就是你的。”店小二怦然心动，伸手轻轻摸了摸银子，涎脸道：“这么大的一锭？”黄蓉微笑点头。店小二低声道：“小人说就说了，两位可千万去不得。那猴爪山里住着一群凶神恶煞，任谁走近离山五里，休想保得性命。”郭、黄二人对望一眼，点了点头。黄蓉道：“那猴爪山共有五个山峰，就像猴儿的手掌一般，是么？”店小二喜道：“是啊！原来姑娘早知道啦！那可不是小人说的。这五个山峰生得才叫奇怪。”郭靖忙问：“怎样？”店小二道：“那五座山峰排列得就和五根手指一模一样，中间的最高，两旁顺次矮下来。这还不奇，最奇的是每座山峰又分三截，就如手指的指节一般。”黄蓉跳了起来，叫道：“第二指节，第二指节。”郭靖大喜，也叫：“正是，正是。”店小二却是不知所云，呆呆的望着两人。黄蓉详细问了入山途径，把银子给了他，店小二欢天喜地的去了。 黄蓉站起身来，道：“靖哥哥，走罢。”郭靖道：“此去不过六十余里，小红马片刻即至，咱们白日上去拜山为是。”黄蓉笑道：“拜甚么山？去盗书。”郭靖叫道：“是啊！我真傻，想不到这节。” 两人不欲惊动店中诸人，越窗而出，悄悄牵了红马，依着店小二指点的途径，向东南方驰去。山路崎岖，道旁长草过腰，极是难行，行得四十余里，已远远望见五座山峰耸天入云。小红马神骏无俦，不多时便已驰到山脚。 此时近看，但见五座山峰峭兀突怒，确似五根手指竖立在半空之中。居中一峰尤见挺拔。郭靖喜道：“这座山峰和那画中的当真一般无异，你瞧，峰顶不都是松树？”黄蓉笑道：“就只少个舞剑的将军。靖哥哥，你上去舞一会剑罢。”郭靖笑道：“就可惜我不是将军。”黄蓉道：“要做将军还不容易？将来成吉思汗……”说到这里，便即住口。郭靖明白她本来要说甚么话，转过了头，不敢望她的脸。 两人将红马与双雕留在山脚之下，绕到主峰背后，眼见四下无人，施展轻功，扑上山去，行了数里，山路转了个大弯，斜向西行。两人顺路奔去，那道路东弯西曲，盘旋往复，好不怪异，走了一顿饭时分，前面密密麻麻的尽是松树。 两人停步商议是径行上峰，还是入林看个究竟，刚说得几句，忽见前面林中隐隐透出灯光。两人打个招呼，放轻脚步，向灯火处悄悄走近。行不数步，突然呼的一声，路旁大树后跃出两名黑衣汉子，各执兵刃，一声不响的拦在当路。 黄蓉心想：“若是交手惊动了人，盗书就不易了。”灵机一动，从怀中取出裘千仞的那只铁掌，托在手中，走上前去，也是一言不发。两名汉子向铁掌一看，脸上各现惊异之色，躬身行礼，闪在道旁。黄蓉出手如电，竹棒突伸，轻轻两颤，已点中二人穴道，抬腿将二人踢入长草丛中，直奔灯火之处。 走到临近，见是一座五开间的石屋，灯火从东西两厢透出，两人掩到西厢，只见室内一只大炉中燃了洪炭，煮着热气腾腾的一镬东西，镬旁两个黑衣小童，一个使劲推拉风箱，另一个用铁铲翻炒镬中之物，听这沙沙之声，所炒的似是铁沙。一个老头闭目盘膝坐在锅前，对着锅中腾上来的热气缓吐深吸。这老头身披黄葛短衫，正是裘千仞。只见他呼吸了一阵，头上冒出腾腾热气，随即高举双手，十根手指上也微有热气袅袅而上，忽地站起身来，双手猛插入镬。那拉风箱的小童本已满头大汗，此时更是全力拉扯。裘千仞忍热让双掌在铁沙中熬炼，隔了好一刻，这才拔掌，回手拍的一声，击向悬在半空的一只小布袋。这一掌打得声音甚响，可是那布袋竟然纹丝不动，殊无半点摇晃。 郭靖暗暗吃惊，心想：“看这布袋，所盛铁沙不过一升之量，又用细索凭空悬着，他竟然一掌打得布袋毫不摇动。此人武功深厚，委实非同小可。”黄蓉却认定他装模作样，又是在捣鬼欺人，若非要先去盗书，早已出言讥嘲了。 两人见他双掌在布袋上拍一会，在镬中熬一会，熬一会又拍一会，再无别般花样，黄蓉想看出裘千仞铁镬中、手指上的热气到底是怎生弄将出来，看了半天，不知他古怪窍门的所在，心想：“倘若二师父到来，定能一出手便戳穿这老骗子的把戏，我可是甘拜下风。”于是掩到东厢窗下，向里窥探，这一看又是一惊。 原来房中坐着一男一女，却是杨康与穆念慈。郭靖与黄蓉都大为诧异：“怎地穆姊姊竟会也在这里？”但听杨康正花言巧语，要骗她早日成亲。穆念慈却坚说要他先杀完颜洪烈，报了父母之仇，方能叙儿女之情。杨康道：“好妹子，你怎地如此不识大体？”穆念慈奇道：“我不识大体？”杨康道：“是啊！想那完颜洪烈防护甚周，以我一人之力，岂能轻易下手？你做了我媳妇，我假意带你去拜见翁舅，那时两人联手，自然大功可成。”穆念慈见他说得有理，低首沉吟，灯光下双颊晕红。杨康见她已有允意，握住她的左手，轻轻抚摸，左手伸过去搂住了她的纤腰。 黄蓉再也忍耐不住，正待出言揭破他的阴谋，只听身后一个苍老的声音喝道：“是谁擅自上我山来？”郭、黄一齐回首，月光下看得明白，不是裘千仞是谁？以往见到裘千仞，见他虽然自高自大，装模作样，眼神中的油腔滑调却总是掩饰不住，此刻却见他神色俨然，威严殊不可犯。黄蓉不由得一怔，心想：“这老儿到了自己山上，架子更是摆得十足。是了，他定是早就发觉我们到了山上，他在铁镬中搞那玩意，不是做给我们看的吗？”于是笑道：“裘老爷子，我跟你请安来啦。七日之约没误期么？”裘千仞怒道：“甚么七日之约？胡说八道！”黄蓉笑道：“咦，怎么转眼就忘了？你闹肚子的病根儿好了罢？要是还没好，不如去请大夫治好了再跟我动手，免得……嘻嘻！” 裘千仞更不答话，一声长啸，双掌猛往黄蓉左右双肩拍去。黄蓉笑嘻嘻的并不理会，不闪不避，有心要叫软猬甲上的尖刺在他掌上刺下十多个窟窿，只听得郭靖惊叫：“蓉儿闪开。”耳旁一股劲风过去，知道郭靖出手侧击敌人，只觉肩上两股巨力同时撞到，欲待趋避，已自不及，身不由主的往后摔去，人未着地，气息已闭。 裘千仞掌心与她猬甲尖刺一触，也已受伤不轻，双掌流血，心下惊怒交集，眼见郭靖掌到，急忙回掌横击。两人掌力相交，砰砰两声，各自退出三步。只不过裘千仞稳稳站住，郭靖却身子连晃了两下，这一掌既交，双方可说高下已判，昨晚在君山借着丐帮弟子的身子较劲，两人似乎打成了平手，然而那是由于郭靖出手中带着天罡北斗阵的巧劲，此刻硬碰硬的比拚，毕竟还是输了一筹。郭靖关切黄蓉，哪肯恋战，忙俯身抱她起来，却听背后风声飒然，敌人又攻了过来。 郭靖左手抱住黄蓉，更不回身，右手一招“神龙摆尾”向后挥去，这是降龙十八掌中的救命绝招，他在情急之下使将出来，更是威力倍增。裘千仞与他掌力一交，不由得身子也是微微一晃，又见掌心刺破处着实疼痛，只怕黄蓉身上所藏尖刺中喂有毒药，忙举掌在月光下察看，见血色鲜红，略觉放心。 郭靖乘他迟疑之际，抱起黄蓉，拔步向峰顶飞跑，只奔出数十步，猛听得身后喊声大作，回头下望，但见无数黑衣汉子高举火把大呼追来。郭靖后无退路，只得向峰顶攀援而上，忙乱中一探黄蓉鼻息，却无呼吸，急叫：“蓉儿，蓉儿！”始终未闻回答。只这么稍有稽迟，裘千仞与帮中十余高手已追得相距不远。郭靖心想：“若凭我一人，硬要闯下山去，原亦不难，只是蓉儿身受重伤，却难犯此险。” 当下足底加快，再不依循峰上小径，径自笔直的往上爬去。他在大漠悬崖上练过爬山轻功，抄的又是近路，过不多时已将追兵抛远。他足下不停，将脸挨过去和黄蓉脸颊相触，觉到尚甚温暖，稍感放心，叫了几声，黄蓉却仍不答应，抬头见离峰顶已近，心想这山峰周围不广，此时四下里必已被敌人团团围住，且找个歇足所在，救醒蓉儿再说。上下左右一望，见左上方二十余丈处黑黝黝的似有一个洞穴，当即提气窜去，奔到临近，果然是个山洞，洞口砌似玉石，修建得极是齐整。 郭靖也不理洞内有无埋伏危险，直闯进去，将黄蓉轻轻放在地下，将右手放在她后心“灵台穴”上，助她顺气呼吸。只听得山腰里铁掌帮的帮众愈聚愈多，喊声大振，郭靖却充耳不闻，此时纵然有千军万马冲到跟前，他也要先救醒黄蓉，再作理会。 约莫过了一盏茶时分，黄蓉“嘤”的一声，悠悠醒来，低声叫道：“我胸口好疼。” 郭靖大喜，慰道：“蓉儿别怕，你在这里歇一阵。”走到洞口。横掌当胸，决心拚死抗敌护她，可是放眼下望，不由得惊奇万分。只见山腰里火把结成了整整齐齐的一道火墙，离山洞约有里许之遥，各人面目依稀可辨，当先一人身披葛衫，正是裘千仞。但众人双脚宛如钉牢在地下一般，尽管咆哮怒骂，却不再上前一步。 望了一阵，猜不透众人闹的是甚么玄虚，回进洞来，俯身去看黄蓉，忽声身后擦擦两声，似是脚步声响。郭靖大惊，先回掌护住后心，再挺腰转身，但那洞黑沉沉的望不见底，不知里面藏的是人是怪。郭靖喝道：“是谁？快出来。”洞里先传出他呼喝的回声，静了半晌，忽听传出几下咳嗽，一声大笑，听来不由得令人毛骨悚然，竟然便似裘千仞的声音。 郭靖晃亮火折，只见洞内大踏步走出一人，身披葛衫，手执蒲扇，白须皓发，正是铁掌水上飘裘千仞。郭靖一惊非小，适才明明见到他在山腰里率众叫骂，怎么一转眼之间竟已到了山洞之内？霎时之间，只觉背上凉飕飕地，竟已吓出了一身冷汗。 只听裘千仞哈哈笑道：“两个娃娃果然不怕死，来找爷爷，好得很！胆子不小，挺有骨气，好得很！”突然脸一板，眉目间犹似罩上一层严霜，喝道：“这是铁掌帮的禁地，入者有死无生，两个娃娃活得不耐烦了？”郭靖心中正琢磨他这话的用意，却听黄蓉轻声道：“既是禁地，你怎么又入来啦？”裘千仞登时现出尴尬神色，随即收住，说道：“爷爷有要事在身，可没闲功夫跟你娃娃们扯淡。”说着抢步出洞。 郭靖见他快步掠过身旁，只怕他猛下毒手，伤了黄蓉，心想：“此时先下手为强，后下手遭殃。”双手齐出，猛往他肩头击去，料他必要回掌挡架，那就立时以肘锤撞击他的前胸。这一招武功是妙手书生朱聪所授，先着击肩乃虚，后着肘锤方实，妙在后着含蕴不露，敌人不易识破。他先着击出，裘千仞果然回掌挡架，郭靖两臂一挺，肘锤正要撞出，突觉对方双掌挡来软弱无力，全不似适才交锋时那般劲在掌先的上乘功夫。郭靖手上变招远比心中想事为速，心中尚未决定该当如何，双手顺势抓出，已将他两手手腕牢牢拿住。 裘千仞用力挣扎，却哪里挣得出他的掌握？他不挣也还罢了，这一挣更显露了他武功浅薄。郭靖再无怀疑，两手一放一拉，待裘千仞被这一拉之势牵动，跌跌撞撞的冲将过来，顺手便点了他胸口的“阴都穴”。裘千仞瘫软在地，动弹不得，说道：“我的小爷，这当口性命交关，你何苦和我闹着玩儿？” 只听得山腰中帮众的喊声更加响亮，想来其余四峰中的帮众也已纷纷赶到。郭靖道：“你好好送我们下山去。”裘千仞皱眉摇头道：“我自己尚且性命不保，怎能送你们下山？”郭靖道：“你叫你徒子徒孙让道，到了山下，我自然给你解开穴道。”裘千仞愁眉苦脸，说道：“我的小爷，你老磨着我干么？你到洞口去瞧瞧就明白啦。” 郭靖走到洞口，向下望去，不由得惊得呆了，但见裘千仞手挥蒲扇，正站在帮众之前，向着洞口顿足而骂。郭靖急忙回头，却见裘千仞仍是好端端的卧在地下，奇道：“你……你……怎么有两个你？” 黄蓉低声道：“傻哥哥，你还不明白，有两个裘千仞啊，一个武功高强，一个却就会吹牛。他俩生得一模一样。这是个净长着一张嘴的。”郭靖又呆了半晌，这才恍然大悟，向裘千仞道：“是不是？” 裘千仞苦着脸道：“姑娘既说是，就算是罢。我们俩是双生兄弟，我是哥哥。本来武功是我强，后来我兄弟的武功也就跟着了不得起来啦。”郭靖道：“那么到底谁是裘千仞？”裘千仞道：“名字不同，又有甚么关系？是我叫千仞还是他叫千仞，不都一样？咱俩兄弟要好，从小就合用一个名儿。”郭靖道：“快说，到底谁是裘千仞？”黄蓉道：“那还用问？自然他是冒充字号的。”郭靖道：“哼，老头儿，那么你叫甚么？” 裘千仞挨不过，只得道：“记得先父也曾给我另外起过一个名儿，叫甚么'千丈'。我念着不好听，也就难得用它。”郭靖一笑，道：“哈，那你就是裘千丈，不用赖啦。”裘千丈面不红，耳不赤，洋洋自如，说道：“人家爱怎生叫就怎生叫，你管得着么？十尺为丈，七尺为仞，倒还是'千丈'比'千仞'长了三千尺。”黄蓉道：“我瞧你倒是改名为千分、千厘好些。” 郭靖道：“怎么他们尽在山腰里呐喊，却不上来？”裘千丈道：“不得我号令，谁敢上来？”郭靖将信将疑
When Guo and Huang returned to Yueyang Tower, it was already dawn, and the red horse and the two eagles were waiting by the building. Huang Rong raised her head and looked into the distance, only to see a round of red sun jumping out from the waves of Dongting Lake. Swallowing the Yangtze River, the vastness of the soup, the horizon is endless. The morning sun and the evening are cloudy, and the weather is myriad. 'How can we not appreciate such a scenery? Let's go up and drink a few more cups.' Guo Jing said hello. Thinking of all the thrills at night, they couldn't help looking at each other and smiling. There is no good wine in Yueyang, but the landscape is pleasant and self-sufficient.The two drank a few cups to each other, Huang Rong suddenly had a pretty face, with an angry look on her brows, and said, "Brother Jing, you are not good!" Guo Jing was startled, and quickly asked, "What's the matter?" I know. Ask me why?" Guo Jing scratched his head in thought, but he couldn't think of anything, so he begged: "Good Ronger, you can tell me." Huang Rong said: "Okay, let me ask you: last night we were crowded by the beggar gang's formation and saw that our lives were in danger. Why are you leaving me? Could it be that I can live after you die? Don’t you know my heart to this day?” As he spoke, tears fell, drop by drop into the wine glass.Seeing that she loved him so much, Guo Jing felt surprised and loved her so much, he stretched out his hand to hold her right hand, but he didn't know what to say. After a while, Fang said: "It's my fault. We must die together." Huang Rong sighed softly, and was about to speak, when she heard footsteps on the stairs, someone looked around.The two raised their heads and met each other suddenly, all three of them were taken aback.It was Qiu Qianren floating on the iron palm that came up. Guo Jing hurriedly stood up and stood in front of Huang Rong, fearing that the old man would kill him suddenly.Unexpectedly, Qiu Qianren grinned, raised his hand to say hello, and immediately turned around and went downstairs. This smile seemed both slippery and panicked.Huang Rong said: "He's afraid of us. This man is really strange, I'll go down and have a look." Before Guo Jing could answer, she rushed downstairs. Guo Jing shouted: "Be careful!" He hurriedly took out a piece of silver and threw it on the counter, ran out of the building door, looked on both sides, and saw no shadows of Qiu Qianren and Huang Rong. Spicy, I'm afraid Huang Rong will be murdered by him, and shouted: "Rong'er, Rong'er, where are you?" Huang Rong heard Guo Jing's call, but she didn't answer, she followed Qiu Qianren quietly, to find out what happened, and when she made a sound, he would naturally detect it.At this time, the two were walking beside a big house, one after the other.Huang Rong hid behind the north wall corner, and followed Qiu Qianren after she was far away.Qiu Qianren heard Guo Jing's call, and knew that Huang Rong was following, and when she turned the corner, she also hid.The two stayed for a long while, listening carefully but there was no movement. They poked their heads at the same time. One had a beautiful face like a lotus on the Xiangjiang River, and the other had an old face like an orange peel in Dongting Lake. The distance between the two faces was less than half a foot, and both faces changed color at the same time. The two called out softly, turned and left.Although Huang Rong was afraid that his palm might be strong, she still didn't give up. She circled around the wall of the mansion for more than half a circle, fearing that he would go too far, so she used lightness kung fu and ran very fast, wanting to get behind the east corner and spy again. She changed her mind, and Qiu Qianren was also thinking in the same way. The old and the young went around the mansion, and suddenly bumped into one place again, but this time they met behind the south-facing screen wall. Huang Rong thought: "If I turn around and retreat, he will give me a palm on the back. This old thief has a strong iron palm, I'm afraid I can't dodge it." She smiled slightly and said, "Old man Qiu, the world is so small, we meet again Lah." But he was secretly planning a way out: "I'll spend time with him, and I won't be afraid of him when brother Jing arrives." Qiu Qianren said with a smile: "I left in Lin'an that day, and unexpectedly met here again. The girl is safe." Huang Rong thought to herself, "I saw you, an old thief, in Junshan last night, but today I came here to talk nonsense again. Well, you can keep your eyes open and talk in your sleep. My dog-beating stick is very good, and I can't wait for it Hit him by surprise." Suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Brother Jing, hit him in the back." Qiu Qianren was startled, and when he turned around to look, Huang Rong swung out his bamboo stick and swept it on the ground with the Chinese character "tripping". Qiu Qianren turned around and saw no one, so he knew that he had hit the trick. Sensing the strong wind blowing down his body, he jumped up hastily and finally avoided a move. To, the enemy must not be allowed to have the slightest chance to breathe. If one trip is missed, the second trip will continue. The chain of hooks and plates, although there is only one word "trip", there are ever-changing changes in the middle.Qiu Qianren jumped faster and faster, but he saw a piece of green light made of green bamboo whirling around the ground. "Trip" to 17 or 8 times, Qiu Qianren leaned forward a little slower, was swiped on the left shin by the bamboo stick, hooked on the right ankle, fell to the ground, opened his mouth and yelled: "Hold on slowly, I have something to say." Huang Rong put the stick back with a smile, and when he jumped up, before he landed, he picked and hit him again.Qiu Qianren couldn't stand and fell on his back.In a short while, Huang Rong tripped him five times in a row, and fell down for the sixth time. Qiu Qianren knew that if he got up again, he would have to fall one more time, so he prostrated himself on the ground without moving.Huang Rong laughed and said, "Are you pretending to be dead?" Qiu Qianren stood up in response, and with a slap, broke the belt of her trousers with both hands, lifted the waist of her trousers, and shouted, "Will you go or not, I want to let go!" Huang Rong was stunned, He never expected that he, the leader of a big gang in the world, would come up with such a dirty trick. He was afraid that he would drop his pants, spit, turn around and leave.I could only hear the old man behind him laughing, very proud, and then the sound of footsteps, Huang Rong turned around and saw him running after him with both hands on the waist of his trousers. Huang Rong was very angry and funny, but she was very resourceful and had no choice but to run away.The two ran forward for more than ten feet, Qiu Qianren was about to stop when he was ready, when he suddenly saw Guo Jing turn out from the corner of the room, rushing to block Huang Rong, with his right palm covering his chest, and his left palm slowly raised from his crotch, making a semicircle , Stretched to the chest.Qiu Qianren was well-informed and knew that as long as he clasped his palms into a ball, he would immediately perform extremely powerful moves. He immediately laughed three times, stopped and shouted: "Oh, it's not good, it's bad, it's bad." Huang Rong said: "Brother Jing, fight, don't pay attention to his nonsense." Guo Jing saw Qiu Qianren's iron palm kung fu on the top of Junshan last night, it was sharp, ruthless and exquisite, it was not among Zhou Botong, Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng and others. Now, I am not as good as I am. How dare I have the slightest intention to underestimate the enemy when we meet on a narrow road at this time?At this moment, Qi gathers in the dantian, all limbs and bones are loose, and the enemy is fully focused. Qiu Qianren held the waistband of his trousers with both hands, and said: "Two babies, let's hear from your grandpa, your grandpa has been gluttonous for the past two days, and his stomach was ruined, but he is about to show respect again." Huang Rong only called: "Brother Jing hit him. "I didn't dare to move forward, but took a few steps back.Qiu Qianren said: "I know what you two dolls are thinking. If you don't let your grandpa teach you a lesson, it's always hard to be convinced. It's just that your grandpa has a stomachache recently. When it's a critical moment, the things in his stomach always go away. Come out to make trouble. Well, the two children have heard, within seven days, your grandfather will be waiting for you at the foot of Iron Palm Mountain, do you have the guts to come?" Huang Rong listened to the nonsense that his grandfather was long and the baby was short, and she had already buckled a handful of steel needles in her hand, and when he said it happily, she would use the technique of "raining flowers all over the sky" to nail dozens of needles all over his body. Needle, see if he still dares to chew the root of his tongue?I was making calculations in my heart, when I suddenly heard the word "Under the Iron Palm Mountain", I immediately thought of the four lines of secret words in Qu Lingfeng's left painting, my heart shivered, and I said: "Okay, if you are a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, we will also Come and make a breakthrough. At that time, we will have to be serious, and you are not allowed to mess around anymore. Where is Iron Palm Mountain? How can we get out of it?" 裘千仞道：“从此处向西，经常德、辰州，溯沅江而上，泸溪与辰溪之间有座形如五指向天的高山，那就是铁掌山了。那山形势险恶，你爷爷的手脚又厉害无比，两个娃娃若是害怕，那乘早向你爷爷赔个不是，也就别来啦。”黄蓉听到“形如五指向天”六字，心中更喜，道：“好，一言为定，七日之内，我们必来拜山。”裘千仞点点头，忽然愁眉苦脸，连叫：“啊哟，啊哟！”提着裤腰向西疾趋。 郭靖道：“蓉儿，有一件事我实在推详不透，你说给我听。”黄蓉道：“甚么事？”郭靖道：“这位老前辈的武功本来厉害之极，我们决非他敌手，怎么老是爱玩弄骗人伎俩？有时又假装武功低微？那日归云庄上他在我胸口击了一掌，若是他使出真力，我今日哪里还有命在？他装疯乔癫，到底是甚么用意？”黄蓉轻轻咬着手指，沉思半晌，道：“我也真个不懂。刚才我用打狗棒法接连绊了他几交，这老儿毫无还手之力，只好撒赖使泼。莫非昨晚他拗曲钢杖，又是甚么诈术！”郭靖摇头道：“他捏碎鲁有脚双手，用掌力接我内劲，那都是真实本领，决计假装不来。” 黄蓉俯下身来，拿着头上珠钗在地下画来画去，又过半晌，叹口气道：“我可想不出这老儿在闹甚么玄虚啦。咱们到了铁掌山，终究会有个水落石出。”郭靖道：“到铁掌山干么？此间大事已了，咱们快找师父去。这糟老头儿就爱捣鬼，岂能拿他作真？”黄蓉道：“靖哥哥，我问你。爹爹给你那幅画给雨淋湿了，透了些甚么字出来？”郭靖搔了搔头道：“那些字残缺不全，早瞧不出甚么意思啦。”黄蓉笑道：“那你不会想么？”郭靖明知自己想不出，就算想出甚么，也决不如黄蓉想得明白，忙道：“好蓉儿，你一定想出了，快说给我听。” 黄蓉用钗儿将那四行字划在地下，说道：“第一行少了的，必是个'武'字，凑起来就是'武穆遗书'四字。第二行我本来猜想不出，给那老儿一说，那就容易不过，不是'山'字，就是个'峰'字。” 黄蓉念了一遍：“武穆遗书，在铁掌山。”郭靖双掌一拍，大声叫道：“好啊，咱们快去！铁掌帮与金人勾结，定会将这部宝书献给完颜洪烈。下面两句是甚么呢？”黄蓉笑道：“你自己不用心思，偏爱催人家。那老儿说这铁掌山形如五指，那第三句只怕是'中指峰下'四字。”郭靖拍手叫道：“对对，蓉儿你真聪明。第四句，第四句！”黄蓉沉吟道：“我就是想不出这句啊。第二……节，第二……节。”头一侧，秀发微扬，道：“想不出，我们去了再说。”
两人纵马引雕，径自西行，过常德，经桃源，下沅陵，不一日已到泸溪，询问铁掌山的所在，却是人人摇头不知。两人好生失望，只得寻一家小客店宿了。晚间黄蓉问起当地名胜古迹，店小二滔滔不绝的说了许多，却始终不提“铁掌山”三字。黄蓉小嘴一撇，道：“这些去处也平常得紧。泸溪毕竟是小地方，有甚好山好水？”那店小二受激，甚是不忿，道：“泸溪虽是小地方，可是猴爪山的风景，别处哪里及得上？”黄蓉心中一动，忙问：“猴爪山在哪里？”那店小二不再答话，说道：“恕罪则个。”出房去了。 黄蓉追到门口，一把抓住他后心拉了回来，摸出一锭银子放在桌上，道：“你说个清清楚楚，这银子就是你的。”店小二怦然心动，伸手轻轻摸了摸银子，涎脸道：“这么大的一锭？”黄蓉微笑点头。店小二低声道：“小人说就说了，两位可千万去不得。那猴爪山里住着一群凶神恶煞，任谁走近离山五里，休想保得性命。”郭、黄二人对望一眼，点了点头。黄蓉道：“那猴爪山共有五个山峰，就像猴儿的手掌一般，是么？”店小二喜道：“是啊！原来姑娘早知道啦！那可不是小人说的。这五个山峰生得才叫奇怪。”郭靖忙问：“怎样？”店小二道：“那五座山峰排列得就和五根手指一模一样，中间的最高，两旁顺次矮下来。这还不奇，最奇的是每座山峰又分三截，就如手指的指节一般。”黄蓉跳了起来，叫道：“第二指节，第二指节。”郭靖大喜，也叫：“正是，正是。”店小二却是不知所云，呆呆的望着两人。黄蓉详细问了入山途径，把银子给了他，店小二欢天喜地的去了。 黄蓉站起身来，道：“靖哥哥，走罢。”郭靖道：“此去不过六十余里，小红马片刻即至，咱们白日上去拜山为是。”黄蓉笑道：“拜甚么山？去盗书。”郭靖叫道：“是啊！我真傻，想不到这节。” 两人不欲惊动店中诸人，越窗而出，悄悄牵了红马，依着店小二指点的途径，向东南方驰去。山路崎岖，道旁长草过腰，极是难行，行得四十余里，已远远望见五座山峰耸天入云。小红马神骏无俦，不多时便已驰到山脚。 此时近看，但见五座山峰峭兀突怒，确似五根手指竖立在半空之中。居中一峰尤见挺拔。郭靖喜道：“这座山峰和那画中的当真一般无异，你瞧，峰顶不都是松树？”黄蓉笑道：“就只少个舞剑的将军。靖哥哥，你上去舞一会剑罢。”郭靖笑道：“就可惜我不是将军。”黄蓉道：“要做将军还不容易？将来成吉思汗……”说到这里，便即住口。郭靖明白她本来要说甚么话，转过了头，不敢望她的脸。 两人将红马与双雕留在山脚之下，绕到主峰背后，眼见四下无人，施展轻功，扑上山去，行了数里，山路转了个大弯，斜向西行。两人顺路奔去，那道路东弯西曲，盘旋往复，好不怪异，走了一顿饭时分，前面密密麻麻的尽是松树。 两人停步商议是径行上峰，还是入林看个究竟，刚说得几句，忽见前面林中隐隐透出灯光。两人打个招呼，放轻脚步，向灯火处悄悄走近。行不数步，突然呼的一声，路旁大树后跃出两名黑衣汉子，各执兵刃，一声不响的拦在当路。 黄蓉心想：“若是交手惊动了人，盗书就不易了。”灵机一动，从怀中取出裘千仞的那只铁掌，托在手中，走上前去，也是一言不发。两名汉子向铁掌一看，脸上各现惊异之色，躬身行礼，闪在道旁。黄蓉出手如电，竹棒突伸，轻轻两颤，已点中二人穴道，抬腿将二人踢入长草丛中，直奔灯火之处。 走到临近，见是一座五开间的石屋，灯火从东西两厢透出，两人掩到西厢，只见室内一只大炉中燃了洪炭，煮着热气腾腾的一镬东西，镬旁两个黑衣小童，一个使劲推拉风箱，另一个用铁铲翻炒镬中之物，听这沙沙之声，所炒的似是铁沙。一个老头闭目盘膝坐在锅前，对着锅中腾上来的热气缓吐深吸。这老头身披黄葛短衫，正是裘千仞。只见他呼吸了一阵，头上冒出腾腾热气，随即高举双手，十根手指上也微有热气袅袅而上，忽地站起身来，双手猛插入镬。那拉风箱的小童本已满头大汗，此时更是全力拉扯。裘千仞忍热让双掌在铁沙中熬炼，隔了好一刻，这才拔掌，回手拍的一声，击向悬在半空的一只小布袋。这一掌打得声音甚响，可是那布袋竟然纹丝不动，殊无半点摇晃。 郭靖暗暗吃惊，心想：“看这布袋，所盛铁沙不过一升之量，又用细索凭空悬着，他竟然一掌打得布袋毫不摇动。此人武功深厚，委实非同小可。”黄蓉却认定他装模作样，又是在捣鬼欺人，若非要先去盗书，早已出言讥嘲了。 两人见他双掌在布袋上拍一会，在镬中熬一会，熬一会又拍一会，再无别般花样，黄蓉想看出裘千仞铁镬中、手指上的热气到底是怎生弄将出来，看了半天，不知他古怪窍门的所在，心想：“倘若二师父到来，定能一出手便戳穿这老骗子的把戏，我可是甘拜下风。”于是掩到东厢窗下，向里窥探，这一看又是一惊。 原来房中坐着一男一女，却是杨康与穆念慈。郭靖与黄蓉都大为诧异：“怎地穆姊姊竟会也在这里？”但听杨康正花言巧语，要骗她早日成亲。穆念慈却坚说要他先杀完颜洪烈，报了父母之仇，方能叙儿女之情。杨康道：“好妹子，你怎地如此不识大体？”穆念慈奇道：“我不识大体？”杨康道：“是啊！想那完颜洪烈防护甚周，以我一人之力，岂能轻易下手？你做了我媳妇，我假意带你去拜见翁舅，那时两人联手，自然大功可成。”穆念慈见他说得有理，低首沉吟，灯光下双颊晕红。杨康见她已有允意，握住她的左手，轻轻抚摸，左手伸过去搂住了她的纤腰。 黄蓉再也忍耐不住，正待出言揭破他的阴谋，只听身后一个苍老的声音喝道：“是谁擅自上我山来？”郭、黄一齐回首，月光下看得明白，不是裘千仞是谁？以往见到裘千仞，见他虽然自高自大，装模作样，眼神中的油腔滑调却总是掩饰不住，此刻却见他神色俨然，威严殊不可犯。黄蓉不由得一怔，心想：“这老儿到了自己山上，架子更是摆得十足。是了，他定是早就发觉我们到了山上，他在铁镬中搞那玩意，不是做给我们看的吗？”于是笑道：“裘老爷子，我跟你请安来啦。七日之约没误期么？”裘千仞怒道：“甚么七日之约？胡说八道！”黄蓉笑道：“咦，怎么转眼就忘了？你闹肚子的病根儿好了罢？要是还没好，不如去请大夫治好了再跟我动手，免得……嘻嘻！” 裘千仞更不答话，一声长啸，双掌猛往黄蓉左右双肩拍去。黄蓉笑嘻嘻的并不理会，不闪不避，有心要叫软猬甲上的尖刺在他掌上刺下十多个窟窿，只听得郭靖惊叫：“蓉儿闪开。”耳旁一股劲风过去，知道郭靖出手侧击敌人，只觉肩上两股巨力同时撞到，欲待趋避，已自不及，身不由主的往后摔去，人未着地，气息已闭。 裘千仞掌心与她猬甲尖刺一触，也已受伤不轻，双掌流血，心下惊怒交集，眼见郭靖掌到，急忙回掌横击。两人掌力相交，砰砰两声，各自退出三步。只不过裘千仞稳稳站住，郭靖却身子连晃了两下，这一掌既交，双方可说高下已判，昨晚在君山借着丐帮弟子的身子较劲，两人似乎打成了平手，然而那是由于郭靖出手中带着天罡北斗阵的巧劲，此刻硬碰硬的比拚，毕竟还是输了一筹。郭靖关切黄蓉，哪肯恋战，忙俯身抱她起来，却听背后风声飒然，敌人又攻了过来。 郭靖左手抱住黄蓉，更不回身，右手一招“神龙摆尾”向后挥去，这是降龙十八掌中的救命绝招，他在情急之下使将出来，更是威力倍增。裘千仞与他掌力一交，不由得身子也是微微一晃，又见掌心刺破处着实疼痛，只怕黄蓉身上所藏尖刺中喂有毒药，忙举掌在月光下察看，见血色鲜红，略觉放心。 郭靖乘他迟疑之际，抱起黄蓉，拔步向峰顶飞跑，只奔出数十步，猛听得身后喊声大作，回头下望，但见无数黑衣汉子高举火把大呼追来。郭靖后无退路，只得向峰顶攀援而上，忙乱中一探黄蓉鼻息，却无呼吸，急叫：“蓉儿，蓉儿！”始终未闻回答。只这么稍有稽迟，裘千仞与帮中十余高手已追得相距不远。郭靖心想：“若凭我一人，硬要闯下山去，原亦不难，只是蓉儿身受重伤，却难犯此险。” 当下足底加快，再不依循峰上小径，径自笔直的往上爬去。他在大漠悬崖上练过爬山轻功，抄的又是近路，过不多时已将追兵抛远。他足下不停，将脸挨过去和黄蓉脸颊相触，觉到尚甚温暖，稍感放心，叫了几声，黄蓉却仍不答应，抬头见离峰顶已近，心想这山峰周围不广，此时四下里必已被敌人团团围住，且找个歇足所在，救醒蓉儿再说。上下左右一望，见左上方二十余丈处黑黝黝的似有一个洞穴，当即提气窜去，奔到临近，果然是个山洞，洞口砌似玉石，修建得极是齐整。 郭靖也不理洞内有无埋伏危险，直闯进去，将黄蓉轻轻放在地下，将右手放在她后心“灵台穴”上，助她顺气呼吸。只听得山腰里铁掌帮的帮众愈聚愈多，喊声大振，郭靖却充耳不闻，此时纵然有千军万马冲到跟前，他也要先救醒黄蓉，再作理会。 约莫过了一盏茶时分，黄蓉“嘤”的一声，悠悠醒来，低声叫道：“我胸口好疼。” 郭靖大喜，慰道：“蓉儿别怕，你在这里歇一阵。”走到洞口。横掌当胸，决心拚死抗敌护她，可是放眼下望，不由得惊奇万分。只见山腰里火把结成了整整齐齐的一道火墙，离山洞约有里许之遥，各人面目依稀可辨，当先一人身披葛衫，正是裘千仞。但众人双脚宛如钉牢在地下一般，尽管咆哮怒骂，却不再上前一步。 望了一阵，猜不透众人闹的是甚么玄虚，回进洞来，俯身去看黄蓉，忽声身后擦擦两声，似是脚步声响。郭靖大惊，先回掌护住后心，再挺腰转身，但那洞黑沉沉的望不见底，不知里面藏的是人是怪。郭靖喝道：“是谁？快出来。”洞里先传出他呼喝的回声，静了半晌，忽听传出几下咳嗽，一声大笑，听来不由得令人毛骨悚然，竟然便似裘千仞的声音。 郭靖晃亮火折，只见洞内大踏步走出一人，身披葛衫，手执蒲扇，白须皓发，正是铁掌水上飘裘千仞。郭靖一惊非小，适才明明见到他在山腰里率众叫骂，怎么一转眼之间竟已到了山洞之内？霎时之间，只觉背上凉飕飕地，竟已吓出了一身冷汗。 只听裘千仞哈哈笑道：“两个娃娃果然不怕死，来找爷爷，好得很！胆子不小，挺有骨气，好得很！”突然脸一板，眉目间犹似罩上一层严霜，喝道：“这是铁掌帮的禁地，入者有死无生，两个娃娃活得不耐烦了？”郭靖心中正琢磨他这话的用意，却听黄蓉轻声道：“既是禁地，你怎么又入来啦？”裘千仞登时现出尴尬神色，随即收住，说道：“爷爷有要事在身，可没闲功夫跟你娃娃们扯淡。”说着抢步出洞。 郭靖见他快步掠过身旁，只怕他猛下毒手，伤了黄蓉，心想：“此时先下手为强，后下手遭殃。”双手齐出，猛往他肩头击去，料他必要回掌挡架，那就立时以肘锤撞击他的前胸。这一招武功是妙手书生朱聪所授，先着击肩乃虚，后着肘锤方实，妙在后着含蕴不露，敌人不易识破。他先着击出，裘千仞果然回掌挡架，郭靖两臂一挺，肘锤正要撞出，突觉对方双掌挡来软弱无力，全不似适才交锋时那般劲在掌先的上乘功夫。郭靖手上变招远比心中想事为速，心中尚未决定该当如何，双手顺势抓出，已将他两手手腕牢牢拿住。 裘千仞用力挣扎，却哪里挣得出他的掌握？他不挣也还罢了，这一挣更显露了他武功浅薄。郭靖再无怀疑，两手一放一拉，待裘千仞被这一拉之势牵动，跌跌撞撞的冲将过来，顺手便点了他胸口的“阴都穴”。裘千仞瘫软在地，动弹不得，说道：“我的小爷，这当口性命交关，你何苦和我闹着玩儿？” 只听得山腰中帮众的喊声更加响亮，想来其余四峰中的帮众也已纷纷赶到。郭靖道：“你好好送我们下山去。”裘千仞皱眉摇头道：“我自己尚且性命不保，怎能送你们下山？”郭靖道：“你叫你徒子徒孙让道，到了山下，我自然给你解开穴道。”裘千仞愁眉苦脸，说道：“我的小爷，你老磨着我干么？你到洞口去瞧瞧就明白啦。” 郭靖走到洞口，向下望去，不由得惊得呆了，但见裘千仞手挥蒲扇，正站在帮众之前，向着洞口顿足而骂。郭靖急忙回头，却见裘千仞仍是好端端的卧在地下，奇道：“你……你……怎么有两个你？” 黄蓉低声道：“傻哥哥，你还不明白，有两个裘千仞啊，一个武功高强，一个却就会吹牛。他俩生得一模一样。这是个净长着一张嘴的。”郭靖又呆了半晌，这才恍然大悟，向裘千仞道：“是不是？” 裘千仞苦着脸道：“姑娘既说是，就算是罢。我们俩是双生兄弟，我是哥哥。本来武功是我强，后来我兄弟的武功也就跟着了不得起来啦。”郭靖道：“那么到底谁是裘千仞？”裘千仞道：“名字不同，又有甚么关系？是我叫千仞还是他叫千仞，不都一样？咱俩兄弟要好，从小就合用一个名儿。”郭靖道：“快说，到底谁是裘千仞？”黄蓉道：“那还用问？自然他是冒充字号的。”郭靖道：“哼，老头儿，那么你叫甚么？” 裘千仞挨不过，只得道：“记得先父也曾给我另外起过一个名儿，叫甚么'千丈'。我念着不好听，也就难得用它。”郭靖一笑，道：“哈，那你就是裘千丈，不用赖啦。”裘千丈面不红，耳不赤，洋洋自如，说道：“人家爱怎生叫就怎生叫，你管得着么？十尺为丈，七尺为仞，倒还是'千丈'比'千仞'长了三千尺。”黄蓉道：“我瞧你倒是改名为千分、千厘好些。” 郭靖道：“怎么他们尽在山腰里呐喊，却不上来？”裘千丈道：“不得我号令，谁敢上来？”郭靖将信将疑
