Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

The next morning Yang Guo woke up and walked out of the stone house.I couldn't see clearly in the darkness last night. It turns out that the surrounding vegetation is verdant and the flowers are blooming like brocade. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and this place is even more rare.Walking along the road, I saw three or two cranes, groups of white deer, squirrels and rabbits by the roadside. After turning two corners, the girl in green shirt was picking flowers by the side of the road. Seeing him passing by, she greeted him, "Your Excellency got up very early, please have breakfast." As she spoke, she picked two flowers from the tree and handed them to him. .

Yang Guo took the flowers and thought to himself: "Could it be that flowers are edible?" But he saw the girl pick off the petals and put them into his mouth, so he followed her example and ate a few petals too, the taste was sweet and delicious. It is sweet like honey, with a slightly drunken smell of alcohol. I feel refreshed, but after chewing a few times, there is a bitter taste. I want to spit it out, but I feel reluctant to swallow it. A little hard to swallow.He looked closely at the flowering tree, and saw that the branches and leaves were full of small thorns, but the color of the petals was extremely delicate, like a hibiscus, but more fragrant, and like a camellia, more colorful, and asked: "What kind of flower is this? I have never seen it before." The girl said: "This is called love flower. I heard that it is rare in the world. Do you think it is delicious?"

Yang Guo said: "It's very sweet in the mouth, but it's bitter in the end. This flower is called Qinghua? The name is also unique." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pick the flower again.The girl said: "Be careful! There are thorns on the tree, don't touch them!" Yang Guo avoided the thorns on the branches, he was very careful when he put his hand down, but he didn't know that there were small thorns hidden behind the flowers, and he pricked his finger.The girl said: "This valley is called 'The Valley of Unrequited Love', but there are so many flowers of love." Yang Guo said, "Why is it called the Valley of Unrequited Love? The name is... really extraordinary." The girl shook her head and said, "I I don't know what it means. This is a name passed down from the ancestors, and my father may know the origin."

The two talked and walked side by side.Yang Guo smelled the fragrance of flowers, and saw the white rabbits and deer running around beside the road. Auntie, I really wish to live here forever and never go out of the valley.” Just thinking of this, the puncture on the finger suddenly hurts, the wound is small, and the pain is extremely severe, as if someone hit someone with a big hammer in the chest. Hitting it, I couldn't help but yelled "Ah", and quickly put my finger in my mouth to suck. The girl said lightly: "Think of the person you like, don't you?" The sting hurts, and you can't think of love within twelve hours, otherwise the pain will be unbearable." Yang Guo was amazed, and said: "There are such strange things in the world?" The girl said: "My father said: Love is a thing. This is the case, sweet in the mouth, bitter in the aftertaste, and full of thorns, even if you are extremely careful, you will not be hurt by it. Mostly because of the characteristics of this flower, people gave it this name."

Yang Guo asked: "Then why can't... can't... lovesickness and fall in love within twelve hours?" The girl said: "Daddy said: there is poison on the thorns of love flowers. When a person is moved by lust, not only the blood flow accelerates , and some unknown things came out of the blood. The poison on the thorn of the love flower is usually harmless to people, but when it encounters these things in the blood, it will immediately make people feel unbearably painful." Yang Guo felt that it made sense , dubious. The two walked slowly to Shanyang, where the sun was shining, the earth was warm, and the love flower bloomed early, and by this time it had already borne fruit.But the fruit is either green or red, some of which are mixed with green and red, and have fine hairs, just like caterpillars.Yang Guo said: "The love flower is so beautiful, but the fruit it bears is so ugly." The girl said: "The fruit of the love flower is not edible, some are sour, some are spicy, and some are more smelly and unpleasant. Vomit." Yang Guo smiled and said, "Isn't there something as sweet as honey?"

The girl glanced at him and said: "There are some, but you can't tell from the outer skin of the fruit. Some of them are very ugly and taste sweet, but ugly ones may not necessarily be sweet. You can only taste them yourself." Nine out of ten fruits are bitter, so everyone never eats them.” Yang Guo thought to himself: “Although she is talking about love flowers, it seems to be a metaphor for the love between men and women. Could it be that lovesickness is sweet at first? Is it bound to be bitter in the end? Could it be that a man and a woman who fall in love with each other must be more ugly than beautiful in the end? Could it be that I miss my aunt so bitterly that in the future..."

When he thought of Xiao Longnu, he suddenly felt severe pain in his fingers, and couldn't help shaking his right arm a few times, only then did he realize that what the girl said was true.Seeing his appearance, the girl twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, as if she was about to laugh, but held back.At this time, the morning sun slanted on her face, and one could see that her brows were elegant, her complexion was white and rosy, and she was very beautiful.Yang Guo smiled and said: "I have heard people tell stories that in ancient times there was a certain king who lit a beacon to tease the princes and sent away a great country, just for the sake of a smile from a peerless beauty. It can be seen that the rareness of a smile is the same in ancient and modern times. "The girl gave Yang Guo such a tease, she couldn't bear it anymore, she giggled, and finally burst out laughing.

Seeing her being cold all the time, Yang Guo felt apprehensive, now with such a smile, most of the estrangement between the two of them disappeared immediately.Yang Guo said again: "The world knows that it's rare for a beautiful woman to smile. What do you say that a smile can captivate a city, and then a smile can captivate a country? In fact, there is another thing about a beautiful woman. It is even more rare than a smile." The girl opened her eyes wide and asked, "What is that?" ?” Yang Guo said: “That’s the beauty’s name. It’s a great fate to see a beauty. If you want to see her smile, you need to accumulate virtue from your ancestors, and you have to practice for three lifetimes…” He didn’t say anything When it was over, the girl giggled again.Yang Guo still said solemnly: "As for the beauty to reveal her name, it really needs eighteen generations of ancestors to accumulate Yin skills."

The girl said: "I am not a beauty. No one in this valley has ever said that I am beautiful. Why do you make fun of me?" Yang Guo sighed and said, "Oh, no wonder this valley is called the Valley of Unrequited Love. A good name." The girl said, "What name should you change?" Yang Guo said, "It should be called the Valley of the Blind." The girl wondered, "Why?" Yang Guo said, "You are so beautiful, but they don't praise you, Aren't all the people who live in this valley blind?" The girl giggled coquettishly again.In fact, although her appearance can be considered first-class, she is far inferior to Xiaolongnv, compared to Cheng Yingzhi's softness and Lu Wushuang's beauty, she seems to be slightly inferior, but she is elegant and refined, with a general clear spirit.In her whole life, no one has ever praised her for her beauty, because the kung fu in her school is close to that of Zen, and everyone is cold and calm when they meet each other. Even if others think she is very beautiful, no one dares to declare it in the mouth.Today I met Yang Guo suddenly, but this person is naturally jumpy, the more she sees her self-control, the more he wants to tease her to get rid of her ruthless attitude of rejecting others.She listened to Yang Guo's words, she liked it in her heart, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you are blind and see an ugly monster as a beauty."

Yang Guo said with a stern face: "I might be wrong. But if there is peace in this valley, you can't laugh." The girl wondered: "Why?" Yang Guo said: "The ancients said that smiling The city, laughing at the country again, actually wrote a different character. This other character is not the country of the country, it should be the valley of the valley." The girl bent slightly and smiled: "Thank you, don't tease me anymore, okay? ?" Yang Guo saw her slim waist and trembling upper body, he couldn't help but feel agitated, but he didn't know that this trembling didn't matter, but there was another sharp pain on his fingertips.

Seeing him waving his fingers repeatedly, the girl felt slightly unhappy, and said angrily, "I'm talking to you, but you miss your lover." Yang Guo said, "I'm wronged, I'm wronged, my fingers hurt because of you, but you blame me. "The girl's face was flushed, and she suddenly ran away. As soon as Yang Guo said this, he felt remorse in his heart: "Since I have my aunt wholeheartedly, why have I not changed my bad temper? Yang Guo, Yang Guo, you little villain, stop talking nonsense." In fact, he brought his father's three-pointed frivolous rascal, although he didn't have any malicious intentions, but he liked to tease each girl a few times, provoke them, and make them feel confused and infatuated. The girl ran several feet away, then stopped suddenly, stood under a love tree, lowered her head in a daze, after a while, turned around, and said with a smile: "If an ugly monster tells you her name, It must be that the eighteen generations of your ancestors have done too many bad things, causing trouble to your descendants." Yang Guo approached him and said with a smile, "You are born to talk negative things. My eighteen generations of ancestors have done so many good things. If it happens to me, it should be rewarded." These few words are still praising the beauty of the other party.Her face blushed slightly, and she said in a low voice, "I'll tell you when I tell you. You are not allowed to tell the second one, and you are not allowed to call me in front of others." Yang Guo stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm not afraid, abrupt beauty. No offspring or grandchildren?" The girl smiled sweetly again, and said: "My father's surname is Gongsun..." She always refused to say her name directly, and had to make a detour.Yang Guo interjected, "But I don't know what the girl's last name is?" The girl pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I don't know. My father once named his only daughter Lu'e." Yang Guo praised: "It really is the name. As beautiful as a person." Gongsun Lv'e told Yang Guo his name, and became closer to him, saying: "Daddy wants to invite you to meet later, you are not allowed to smile at me." Yang Guo said: "What if you laugh?" Gongsun Lue sighed: "Oh, if he knows that I have smiled at you and told you my name, how will he punish me?" Yang Guo said: "I have never heard of such a strict father and daughter. It's not okay to smile at others. Doesn't he cherish such a beautiful daughter?" When Gongsun Lue heard him say this, his eyes turned red, and he said, "Dad used to love me very much, but after my mother died when I was six years old, my father became more and more strict with me. He married my new mother After that, I don’t know what will happen to me?” He said and shed two tears.Yang Guo comforted, "Your father is happy after marriage, he must have treated you better." Lue shook her head and said, "I'd rather he treat me more harshly than marry a new mother." Yang Guo's parents died early, so he didn't understand this kind of mood, he wanted to make her happy, and said: "Your new mother must not be half as beautiful as you." Lue hurriedly said: "You are wrong, my new mother is really What about the beauty. Daddy can do it for her... for her... Yesterday we caught that old man surnamed Zhou, if Daddy hadn't been busy arranging the marriage, he would never have let this old urchin escape again." Yang Guo was startled again. You were happy, and asked: "The old naughty boy has escaped again?" Lu Exiu frowned slightly, and said: "Isn't it?" The two talked for a while, the rising sun gradually rose, Lue suddenly woke up, and said: "Go back quickly, don't let the brothers catch us talking together, go and tell my father." Yang Guo was very familiar with her situation With a sense of pity, he stretched out his left hand to hold her hand, and patted the back of her hand with his right hand a few times, expressing comfort.Grateful eyes appeared in Gongsun Lue's eyes, she lowered her head, her face suddenly flushed.Yang Guo was afraid of thinking of Xiao Longnu, his fingers hurt again, so he hurried back to the stone house where he lived.
Before he entered the door, Ma Guangzuo could hear Ma Guangzuo yelling, complaining about how the green vegetables in clear water could not satisfy his hunger, and also said that these petals, whether bitter or not, were eaten by people, isn't that murder for money?Yin Kexi said with a smile: "Brother Ma, what treasures are on you, you really have to put them away, I see that the owner of the valley is a bit malicious." Ma Guangzuo didn't know that he was making fun of him, so he nodded repeatedly in agreement.Yang Guo went into the room and saw several plates of love flower petals piled up on the stone table, everyone was eating with a sad face, remembering that even the great monk Jinlun Fawang was also tired of love flowers, he couldn't help laughing secretly. He picked up the water glass and took a few sips, only to hear the sound of footsteps outside the door, a man in green shirt walked in, bowed his hands, and said: "The owner of the valley invites six distinguished guests to meet you." The Dharma king, Nimoxing and others are all masters. No matter where they go, the master always greets them personally. Even Kublai Khan, the fourth prince of the Mongolian Kingdom, is also very respectful, but he does not know how to come to this deep mountain valley. However, they treated each other so blatantly and rudely, everyone was angry and thought: "When I see this Bird Valley Master later, I want him to know how powerful I am." The six of them followed the green-shirted man to the back of the mountain. After walking about a mile, they suddenly saw a huge green bamboo forest facing them.There are very few bamboos in the north, and such a large bamboo forest is even rarer.The seven people walked through the green bamboos and bamboos, and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers, and felt that the boredom was gone.Passing through the bamboo forest, a burst of fragrance suddenly came, and there were endless daffodils in front of my eyes.It turned out that there was a shallow pond underground, not more than a foot deep, and it was full of narcissus.This flower is also from the south, why did it appear on the top of the mountain between Guanluo?The Fawang thought to himself: "It must be that there are hot springs under this mountain, so that the earth's air is so warm." There are wooden stakes every four or five feet in the pond, and the figure in the green shirt leading the way swayed slightly, leaping and stepping on the stakes.The six of them followed suit, only Ma Guangzuo was bulky and had poor lightness skills. Although his strides were long, he couldn't cover four or five feet in one stride. At the end of the Qingshiban road, there is a huge stone house in the shade of the mountain.The seven people approached, and saw two green-shirted children standing in front of the door, holding whisks in their hands.One boy went in to report, and the other opened the door to welcome the guests.Yang Guo thought: "I wonder if the owner of the valley will go out to meet you?" He was still thinking, and an old man with long beard in green robe came out from the stone house. This old man is extremely short, not more than four feet tall, with five mountains facing the sky, his appearance is very strange, the most strange thing is that a tuft of beard hangs down to the ground, he is wearing a dark green cloth robe, with a green straw rope around his waist, his appearance is extremely strange.Yang Guo thought to himself: "The owner of the valley has such a strange appearance, but the daughter he gave birth to is beautiful." The old man bowed deeply to the six people, and said: "It's a good thing that the honored guest is here. Please come in and serve tea." Hearing the word "tea", Ma Guangzuo frowned deeply, and said loudly, "Drink tea! Where is there no tea? Why do you have to come here?" Bow down to let the guests. Nimoxing thought to himself: "I am a dwarf, but the owner of the valley here is shorter than me. You are short because you are short, but martial arts depends on who is stronger." He went ahead, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Nice to meet you." He took the old man's hand, and then put a lot of effort into it.When the rest of the people saw the two reaching out to hold each other's hands, they each moved a few steps away, one must know that the rivalry between two masters is no small matter. Nimoxing exerted two strengths in his hand first, but he felt that the opponent neither fought back nor resisted, he felt a little strange, he added another two strengths, but he felt as if he was holding a piece of hardwood in his hand.He then added two more strengths, a green air flashed slightly on the old man's face, and his hand was still as stiff as a piece of wood.Nimoxing was very surprised, he didn't dare to use the last bit of strength, he was afraid that when he tried his best, the opponent would suddenly counterattack and he couldn't resist, so he laughed and let go of his hand. Jinlun Dharma King was in the second place. Seeing Nimoxing's condition, he knew that he hadn't been able to detect the depth of the old man. He thought that the other party didn't know the truth, so he didn't need to act rashly, so he put his hands together and walked in openly. .Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi filed in, followed by Ma Guangzuo.He saw that the old man had long beard hanging down to the ground, it was very strange, he hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and the few love flowers only became more and more hungry as he ate. At this time, hunger and anger burst out, and when he entered the door, he suddenly stretched out his big feet, towards the old man Long beard kicked up, and stomped the tip of his beard on the sole of his foot.The old man remained calm and said: "My dear guest, be careful." Ma Guangzuo also stepped on his beard with the other foot, and said, "What's the matter?" Hand fell.It was a big event for such a giant to fall down.Yang Guo was at the end, hurriedly took two steps forward, stretched out his palm to support his buttocks, with force in his palm, he pushed his huge body into it.Ma Guangzuo stood upright, rubbing his buttocks with both hands in a daze. As if the old man hadn't seen him, he invited the six people to sit down in the hall, and said loudly: "The distinguished guest has arrived, please meet the guest." Yang Guo and others were all surprised: "So this dwarf is not the owner of the valley." I saw a dozen or so men and women in green shirts turning out from the back hall, standing in a line on the left, and Gongsun Lue was among them.After another moment, a person turned around from behind the screen, bowed to the six people, and sat casually on the east chair.The long-bearded old man stood by the side of his chair with his hands down.Look at that man's style, he is naturally the owner of the valley. The man was forty-five or six years old, with a handsome face and a chic demeanor, just coming out of the hall, bowing and sitting, he seemed to be a dignified man, but his skin was sallow and his face was haggard, he didn't seem to have the appearance of superb martial arts.As soon as he sat down, several boys in green clothes offered tea.All the furnishings in the hall are still green, but the robe on the owner of the valley is a brand new royal blue satin, which is very eye-catching among the greenery. Master Gu flicked his robe sleeves, picked up the tea bowl, and said, "Dear guest, please have some tea." Ma Guangzuo saw a bowl of cold tea with two or three pieces of tea floating on the water, wanting to see how light it was, he burst out and said, "Master, You don’t want to eat meat, and you don’t want to drink tea, no wonder you have a sick face.” The owner of the valley didn’t move, took a sip of tea, and said, “This valley has been a vegetarian for hundreds of years.” Ma Guangzuo said: “What is there? What's the benefit? But can you live forever?" Gu Zhu said: "Since my ancestor moved to the valley to live in seclusion when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was born, descendants never dared to break the precept of being a vegetarian." King Jinlun clasped his hands and said: "It turns out that the Zun Mansion has been moved here since the Tianbao period, it is really a long time in the world." Gu Zhu clasped his hands and said: "Don't dare." Xiaoxiangzi suddenly said in a strange voice: "Then your ancestors have seen Concubine Yang?" The voice was very strange.Nimoxing, Yin Kexi and others were used to his words, they all felt something different, and they all turned their heads to look at his face.After looking at it, I was even more shocked, I saw his face suddenly changed completely, he was born with a zombie face, and now it looks even weirder.The Fawang, Nimoxing and others secretly feared, they all thought: "It turns out that this person's internal energy is so powerful that even his appearance has completely changed. Is he using energy in secret, and he wants to make trouble immediately, to show color to the owner of the valley?" "Everyone thinks of this, and they are on guard. Gu Zhu replied: "The first ancestor of my surname was indeed an official in the court of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Later, seeing Yang Guozhong's chaos in the government, he was angry and retired." Xiaoxiangzi grinned and said, "Then your ancestor must have I drank Yang Guifei's footwashing water." As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall changed color.This sentence is a declaration of war to the owner of the valley, and he is about to strike in an instant.The Fawang and the others were all surprised: "This Xiaoxiangzi was originally very insidious, and let others take the lead in everything. How can he be so brave and take the lead today?" The valley owner ignored him and waved his hands to the old man with long beard standing behind him.The old man said loudly: "Master Gu respects you as guests and treats you with courtesy, how can you talk nonsense?" Xiaoxiangzi grinned again, and said in a strange voice: "Your ancestors must have drunk Concubine Yang's footwashing water back then. If you haven't, I'll cut off your head and give it to you." Ma Guangzuo was very surprised, He asked: "Brother Xiaoxiang, how do you know? Could it be that you drank together that day?" Xiaoxiangzi laughed loudly, his voice changed again, and said: "If it wasn't for drinking the footwashing water that made your stomach sick, why didn't you eat meat? Ma Guangzuo laughed loudly and applauded, "That's right, that's right, it must be the truth." The Fawang and the others frowned deeply, they all felt that Xiaoxiangzi's remarks were too much, and thought that everyone has their own eating habits, how can they be used as a joke?What's more, the six of them went deep into the valley and saw that the other party was definitely not a good person, even if they fought with each other, they should leave room for it. The long-bearded old man couldn't bear it any longer, walked to the center of the hall, and said: "Mr. Xiaoxiang, we in the valley did not offend you. Since you are determined to fight, please end it." Xiaoxiangzi said: "Okay!" Seeing him jumping over the table in front of him with a chair, he sat down in the center of the hall and shouted: "Old man with long beard, what's your name? You know my name, but I don't know yours. It's too late to move your hands." It's not fair. I can't afford this immediate loss." These few words seemed to make no sense, and the bearded old man became even more angry, but he saw that Xiaoxiangzi's skill in leaping over a chair was so elegant and agile, that it was extraordinary. But the wariness deepened.The valley owner said: "You tell him, it doesn't matter." The old man with long beard said: "Okay, my surname is Fan, and my name is Yiweng. Please stand up and give me a call." Xiaoxiangzi said: "What weapon do you use, take it out and show me first." Fan Yiweng said: "You want to compare Weapons? That's fine." The right foot hit the ground and shouted: "Bring it!" Two boys in green clothes rushed into the inner room, and when they came out, they carried a dragon-headed steel staff about one foot long on their shoulders.Yang Guo and the others were surprised: "How does this dwarf use such a big and heavy weapon?" Seeing that Xiaoxiangzi ignored it, he took out a huge pair of scissors from under his robe and said, "Do you know how to use these scissors?" For what?" Everyone was surprised when they saw the pair of scissors, but Yang Guo was taken aback. He didn't have to reach out to feel in his pocket. The blacksmith gave it to me to cut off Li Mochou's whisk, why did this zombie sneak away in the night, and I didn't even notice it?" Fan Yiweng took the steel rod and paused on the ground.The hall of the stone house is extremely spacious, the sound of buzzing when the steel rod is struck, coupled with the echoes from the walls, is truly extraordinary. Xiaoxiangzi picked up the scissors with his right hand and held them with his fingers as hard as he could to open and close the scissors. He called out, "Hey, short beard, you don't know the name of my treasured scissors, do you want me to teach you?" Fan Yiweng said angrily, "You How can such heretical weapons have elegant names." Xiaoxiangzi laughed loudly, and said, "Yes, the name is indeed indecent, it's called dog hair scissors." Yang Guo was unhappy: "I'll take a good pair of scissors, Who asked you to give such an ugly name." Xiaoxiangzi said again: "I knew there was a bearded monster here, so I ordered this dog hair scissors to cut your beard." Ma Guangzuo and Nimoxing laughed out loud, Yin Kexi and Yang Guo couldn't help laughing too, only Jinlun Fawang held his own, sitting across from the valley owner, they didn't seem to hear. Fan Yiweng picked up the steel rod, waved it slightly, aroused a storm of wind, and said, "My beard is too long, and you like to be ordered to have your head shaved, that's the best thing, please go ahead!" Xiaoxiangzi looked up at the beams in the hall, dazed in a daze, as if he didn't hear what he said, suddenly stretched out his right arm forward like lightning, and with a click, the big scissors cut off his beard.Fan Yiweng never expected that he was sitting on a chair, he would suddenly attack him, he couldn't dodge in a critical situation, he braced the steel rod urgently, he jumped up, somersaulted more than ten feet high, but the steel rod was still supported on the ground.Xiaoxiangzi's move was extremely fast, Fan Yiweng was also extremely quick, with this cut and dodge, the two masters showed their superior martial arts in an instant.But Fan Yiweng finally suffered a loss because he was caught off guard by the opponent. Although he got out of the way, three beards were cut off by the tip of the scissors. Xiaoxiangzi was very proud, he lifted his beard with his left hand, opened his mouth and blew, and the three beards flew towards his bowl of tea on the table, with a ping-pong sound, the tea bowl fell to the ground and shattered.Yang Guo and others all knew that Xiaoxiangzi was playing tricks, and the only thing that pushed the tea bowl down was his breath.Ma Guangzuo didn't understand the reason, he only thought that the three beards could produce such great strength by blowing them like this, and shouted: "Xiaoxiangzi, your beard is so powerful!" Xiaoxiangzi laughed, and opened and clipped the scissors , shouted: "Short Beard, do you want to try my dog ​​hair clippers again?" Everyone saw that although he laughed long and loudly, his face did not move. They were more and more surprised, thinking: "If you have cultivated your inner strength to a high level, you can be happy and angry without showing any expressions, or even have no anger or joy, but like him. I like this smile so much, but my face is eerie and terrifying, I have never seen it before." His face was so ugly that everyone just glanced at him and then turned their heads. After being teased repeatedly, Fan Yiweng became furious, bowed to the owner of the valley and said, "Master, today I can no longer treat others as guests." Yang Guo was very surprised: "This dwarf is much older than the owner of the valley. Master?" The owner of the valley nodded slightly and waved his left hand lightly.Fan Yiweng waved the steel staff, and with a whoosh, he swept towards Xiaoxiangzi's chair, although he is short, his supernatural power is astonishing, the steel staff weighing more than a hundred catties was swung out, and the wind sounded very urgent. Although Yang Guo and others came here on the same level as Xiaoxiangzi, but they don't know what his real kung fu is. He watched the two of them fight intently, and saw that the steel staff was less than half a foot away from the foot of the chair, and Xiaoxiangzi's left arm was hanging down. He stretched out his hand to grab the head of the stick, and at the same time opened the scissors to cut off the opponent's long beard.Fan Yiweng was furious, he thought: "You underestimated me so much!" On the side of his head, the long beard was thrown away, but the steel staff still swept towards his hand, and this blow just hit his palm.Everyone said "Hey" and stood up at the same time, thinking that Xiaoxiangzi's palm would be seriously injured.Fan Yiweng felt that the steel stick was like being hit in the water, soft as if there was nothing, he knew something was wrong, he hurriedly withdrew the stick, but Xiaoxiangzi flipped his wrist and grabbed the end of the stick. Fan Yiweng only felt that the other party was pulling towards Li immediately, and immediately sent the steel staff forward, this force was mighty, seeing Xiaoxiangzi had to get off the chair, unexpectedly he jumped up with the chair again, and turned to the left Suddenly, the steel rod fell into the air, but he had to let go of the rod head with his fingers.Fan Yiweng twirled his left hand above his head, made a circle with his steel staff, and swung the steel staff towards the enemy's head.Xiaoxiangzi wanted to show off, he leaped about Zhang high with his chair and man, and actually passed over the steel rod.Everyone saw that this skill was strange and light, even though he was in a chair, he was no different from an empty body, they couldn't help applauding. Fan Yiweng saw that his opponent's kung fu is so strong, he put all his attention into the battle, he used a steel staff to make the wind whistling, he knew that it would be difficult to hit him in the body, but if he smashed his chair, he would have the upper hand.Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiangzi's kung fu is so elusive, the scissors in his right hand are opening and closing suddenly, he kept waving to his long beard, while his left hand used grabbing techniques to seize his steel rod.The two rolled and tumbled in the hall, fighting dozens of rounds in an instant, it seemed that they were evenly matched, regardless of victory or defeat, but in fact Xiaoxiangzi stayed close to his chair and didn't pay attention to his opponent at all.The Fawang and others were secretly startled: "Can't you see that this zombie-like monster has such a remarkable method?" Fighting and counting again, Fan Yiweng's steel staff was full of sweeping moves, Xiaoxiangzi even dodged the vertical jump of the man and the chair, only to hear the chair legs going up and down, rattling and rattling, getting faster and faster.The owner of the valley suddenly shouted: "Don't hit the chair, or you won't be able to deal with it." Fan Yiweng was stunned, and suddenly realized: "He is sitting on the chair, so I can barely draw with him. If his feet are on the ground, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it." With a few strokes, I cut his beard off.” Suddenly, the stick changed, and he swung furiously, but he saw a green-robed dwarf with a long beard wrapped in a ball of silver light, but outside the silver light was a zombie-like The human figure sitting in the chair is jumping around, which is a rare spectacle. The owner of the valley saw that Xiaoxiangzi was deliberately teasing, and if the fight continued, Fan Yiweng would definitely suffer, so he left the table slowly and said: "Yiweng, you are not the opponent of this expert, step back." Fan Yiweng heard the master's order and shouted loudly Respond: "Yes!" The steel stick was straightened out, and just about to withdraw his move and jump away, Xiaoxiangzi shouted: "No, no!" He flew up from the chair and threw himself on the steel stick.There was a click, and a chair was immediately smashed to pieces by the steel rod, but Xiaoxiangzi had already grasped the rod body with his left hand, stepped on it with his left foot, and at the same time opened the scissors, pinching Fan Yiweng's long beard under the chin into the edge of the blade. , as long as the scissors are closed, this bush of beautiful beard will be lost. Who would have thought that the long beard that Fan Yiweng left behind is actually a very powerful soft weapon, and its usage is the same as that of a soft whip, cloud broom, and chain hammer. His head shook slightly and his beard curled up. Get out of the scissors, wrap the scissors upside down, tilt your head back, and pull the scissors upwards with a strong force.Xiaoxiangzi shouted: "Oh, old dwarf, your beard is really powerful, I, Xiaoxiangzi, can convince you." A long beard entangled the scissors, and the other grabbed the steel rod with his left hand, and they were entangled for a while.Xiaoxiangzi laughed out loud, and only said, "Interesting, interesting!" Suddenly the gray shadow at the gate shook, and a figure rushed in with extraordinary swiftness. With both palms out, it suddenly pushed behind Xiaoxiangzi.Gu Zhu shouted: "Who is it?" Seeing that the sneak attack was fast and fierce, and he was sure to succeed, Xiaoxiangzi put his stick on his left palm and turned around, and put a support on the enemy's elbow, immediately dispelling his palm force.The man said angrily: "The thief bird, I will fight to the death with you!" Yang Guo and others looked at him, they were very surprised, and shouted at the same time: "Xiaoxiangzi!" It turned out that the person who came in and attacked him was also Xiaoxiangzi.Why did he turn into two?And why did he attack his incarnation?Everyone was at a loss for a moment. When he concentrated his attention again, the person who was entangled with Fan Yiweng was obviously wearing Xiaoxiangzi's clothes, shoes and hats, which was not bad at all. Although his face was also like a zombie, it was completely different from Xiaoxiangzi's original appearance.Later, the man who entered the hall had the right face, but he was wearing the green shirt and green trousers that everyone in the valley wore. His hands were like bird claws, and he grabbed the scissors at Xiaoxiangzi's vest, and shouted: "The name of the plotter!" What kind of hero?" Fan Yiwengdou saw that a helper came, although the man was wearing the color of the valley, but he was not familiar with him, he was slightly surprised, he stepped back with his stick, and saw two zombie-like people fighting together. Yang Guo had guessed at this moment that the man holding the scissors must have stolen his human skin mask, put it on his face, changed Xiaoxiangzi's clothes, and messed around in the hall, because Xiaoxiangzi's usual face was not the same as Like a dead person, no one noticed it at first.Although Yang Guo wears a human skin mask from time to time, he doesn't know what his appearance looks like when he puts it on, and he didn't dare to look at Cheng Ying's appearance with the mask on, so he was deceived by this person.He watched intently for a moment, recognized the martial arts of the man holding the scissors, and shouted: "Zhou Botong, return my mask and scissors." As he spoke, he jumped to the center of the hall, and stretched out his hand to snatch the scissors from his hand. It turned out that this person was Zhou Botong.He didn't pay attention, and was caught by the fourth disciple of Heartless Valley with a fishing net.But he has great supernatural powers, and the four of them were negligent, and he broke through the net and escaped immediately.He hid behind the rocks, intending to make an upheaval in the valley, but he saw Yang Guo and a group of six people coming.At night, he sneaked up on Xiaoxiangzi's acupoints, moved him out of the stone house, and put on his own clothes.Because of his lightness kung fu, he came and went without a trace, although Xiaoxiangzi caught his tricks in his sleep, even the Fawang and others were unaware of it.After Zhou Botong changed his clothes, he went back to the stone house and lay down next to Yang Guo, stealing the scissors and mask from his rucksack.The next morning everyone woke up, but none of them noticed. Xiaoxiangzi's acupoints were touched, and he worked hard to use his internal energy to untangle himself, but Zhou Botong's technique of acupoints was so powerful that it took three hours for his limbs to function smoothly.At that time, all he had left was a short shirt and a small jacket with fleshy skin on him, so he was extremely annoyed, when he saw a boy in green shirt walking by in the valley, he immediately knocked him down, changed his clothes, shoes and socks, and rushed to the big stone house Come.I saw a man wearing his own clothes fighting fiercely with Fan Yiweng, he was really furious, he waved his palms and attacked him viciously. Zhou Botong saw Yang Guo coming up to snatch the scissors, so he immediately used his left and right fighting skills, his left palm stretched and retracted suddenly, to deal with Yang Guo, his right hand opened and closed the scissors, but Xiaoxiangzi was forced not to get close.When the big scissors are opened, the distance between the cutting blades is about two feet long. If he clamps his head and neck and closes it with strength, a head will be separated from the neck immediately.Although Xiaoxiangzi was furious, he didn't dare to advance rashly. When Valley Master Gongsun saw Zhou Botong fighting with Fan Yiweng, he was secretly amazed. When he saw Zhou Botong fighting with his hands, it was as if one person transformed into two. There are similarities, but how can you really focus on two purposes like him?I also saw that Xiaoxiangzi's claws are like iron, and his moves are fierce, but Yang Guo's demeanor is leisurely and elegant, with a graceful figure, and he has the thought of being out of the dust in his gestures, thinking: "The world is so big, capable people come forth in large numbers. Two old men Of course it's amazing, although this young man's internal energy is shallow, his movements and fists are also delicate and tight." He said in a loud voice: "You three, please stop." Yang Guo and Xiaoxiangzi jumped back at the same time, Zhou Botong pulled off the human skin mask, threw the scissors at Yang Guo, and shouted: "Enough is enough, I'll go!" Seeing him showing his true colors, all the disciples in Guzhong were in an uproar.Gongsun Lve shouted: "Father, this is the old man!" Zhou Botong rode across the beam, laughing loudly, the roof beam is about three feet high from the ground, although there are many skilled players in the hall, it is necessary to jump up like this , but they are all ashamed.Fan Yiweng is the head disciple of Heartless Valley, he is older than the owner of the valley, besides the owner of the valley, he is the number one martial artist in the valley, how can he not be angry when he is teased by Zhou Botong again and again today?He is short in stature and is proficient in climbing skills. He stood up and hugged the pillar, climbing up like an ape.Zhou Botong loves people messing around with him the most, seeing Fan Yiweng climb up to make fun of him, he did exactly what he likes, before he climbed onto the beam, he reached out his hand to meet him. Fan Yiweng didn't know that he had good intentions, seeing his right hand stretched out, he stretched out his finger and poked the "Daling Point" on his wrist.Zhou Botong felt a little sensation on his wrist, he immediately closed the acupoints and relaxed his muscles.樊一翁这一指犹如戳在棉花之中，急忙缩手，周伯通手掌疾翻，在他手背上拍的打了一下，声音极是清脆，叫道：“一箩麦，二箩麦，哥哥弟弟拍大麦！”樊一翁怒极，脑袋一晃，长须向他胸口疾甩过去。周伯通听得风声劲急，左足一撑，身子荡开，左手攀住横梁，全身悬空，就似打秋千般来回摇晃。 潇湘子心知樊一翁决非他的对手，纵然自己上去联手而斗，也未必能胜，转头向尼摩星和马光佐道：“尼马二兄，这老儿将咱们六人全不瞧在眼内，实是欺人太甚。”尼摩星性子暴躁，受不得激，马光佐脑筋迟钝，是非不明，听他说“将咱们六人全不瞧在眼内”，只道当真如此，齐声怒吼，纵身跃向横梁，去抓周伯通双脚。周伯通左一脚，右一脚，踢向尼马二人手掌。 潇湘子向尹克西冷冷的道：“尹兄，你当真是袖手旁观吗？”尹克西微微一笑，说道：“潇湘兄先上，小弟愿附骥尾。”潇湘子一声怪啸，四座生寒，突然跃将起来。但见他双膝不弯，全身僵直，双臂也笔直的前伸，向周伯通小腹抓去。 周伯通见他双爪袭到，身子忽缩，如狸奴般卷成一球，抓住横梁的左手换成了右手。潇湘子双爪落空，在空中停留不住，落下地来。他全身犹似一根硬直的木材，足底在地下一登，又窜了上去。樊一翁在横梁上挥须横扫，潇湘子、尼摩星、马光佐三人此起彼落，此落彼起，不住高跃仰攻。 尹克西笑道：“这老儿果真身手不凡，我也来赶个热闹。”伸手在怀中一探，斗然间满厅珠光宝气，金辉耀眼，手中已多了一条软鞭。这软鞭以金丝银丝绞就，镶满了珠玉宝石，如此豪阔华贵的兵刃，武林中只怕就此一件而已。金丝珠鞭霞光闪烁，向周伯通小腿缠去。 杨过瞧得有趣，心想：“这五人各显神通围攻老顽童，我若不出奇制胜，不足称能。”心念一动，将人皮面具戴在脸上，学着潇湘子般怪啸一声，拾起樊一翁抛在地下的钢杖，一撑之下，便已借力跃在半空。钢杖本已有一丈有余，再加上这一撑，他已与周伯通齐头，大叫：“老顽童，看剪！”大剪刀往他白胡子上剪去。 周伯通大喜，侧头避过剪刀，叫道：“小兄弟，你这法儿有趣得紧。”杨过道：“老顽童，我没得罪你啊，干么开我玩笑？”周伯通笑道：“有来有往，你半点也没吃亏，反而占了便宜。”杨过一怔，道：“甚么有来有往？”周伯通笑道：“现下我要卖个关子，不跟你说。”眼见尹克西的金龙鞭击到，当即伸手抄去。尹克西软鞭倒卷，欲待反击对方背心，身子却已落了下去。周伯通道：“你这根死赤练蛇，花花绿绿的倒也好玩。”此时樊一翁的长须也已挥将过来，他双手攀住横梁，全凭一把胡子击敌。 周伯通笑道：“大胡子原来还有这用处？”学他模样，也将颏下长须甩将过去，但他胡子既远较樊一翁的为短，又没在胡子上练过功夫，这一甩全不管用，刷的一下，却给对方胡子打中了脸颊，脸上登时起了丝丝红痕，热辣辣的好不疼痛，若非他内力深厚，登时就会晕去。老顽童吃了一下苦头，却不恼怒，对樊一翁反大生钦佩之意，说道：“长胡子，我的胡子不及你，我认输，咱们不必比了。” 樊一翁一招得手，却是见好不收，又是一胡子甩将过去。周伯通不敢再用胡子去和他对战，左手使出“空明拳”拳招，虚飘飘的挥拳打出，拳风推动樊一翁的胡子向右甩去，适逢马光佐纵身攻到，长胡子正好拂在他的脸上。马光佐双眼被遮，两手顺势抓住胡子。樊一翁的胡子本来舒卷自如，但被周伯通的拳风激得失却控纵之力，竟然落入马光佐掌中。他一惊之下用力夺回，却被马光佐使出蛮力，抓住了牢牢不放，身子下落时顺势一拉，二人一齐摔下地来。 马光佐皮粗肉厚，倒也不怎么疼痛。樊一翁摔在他的身上，怒道：“你怎么啦，还不放手？”马光佐摔得虽然不痛，给这矮子双足在小腹一撑，却有点经受不起，也是怒气勃发，喝道：“我偏不放，瞧你怎么？”说着手腕急转，竟将他胡子在臂上绕了几转。樊一翁劈面一掌，马光佐侧头避让，哪知对方这掌却是虚招，左手砰的一拳，正中鼻梁。马光佐哇哇大叫，回击一拳。说到武功，原是樊一翁高出甚多，苦在胡子缠于敌臂，难以转头，这一拳竟也被他击中颧骨。一高一矮，便在地下砰砰嘭嘭的打将起来，樊一翁虽然在上，却脱不出对方纠缠。 金轮法王见厅上乱成一团，自己六人同来，已有五人出手，仍然奈何不了一个老顽童，未免脸上无光，呛啷啷两声响亮，从怀中取出一个银轮，一个铜轮，一个自左至右，一个自右至左，划成两道弧光，向周伯通袭去。双轮在空中当啷急响，声势惊人。 周伯通不知厉害，说道：“这是甚么东西？”伸手去抓。杨过大叫：“抓不得！”挥手将钢杖掷了上去，当的一声巨响，又粗又长一根钢杖给铜轮激得直飞到墙角，打得石墙火光四溅，石屑纷飞。铜轮回飞过来，法王左手一拨，轮子又急转着向横梁上旋去。 这么一来，周伯通才知这个和尚甚不好惹，心想他们众人联手，自己抵挡不了，一个筋斗翻下地来，叫道：“各位请了，老顽童失陪，赶明儿咱们再玩。”说着奔向厅口，却见四个绿衫人张着一张渔网拦在门前。周伯通吃过这渔网的苦头，叫道：“不好！”纵身欲从东窗跃出，眼看绿影晃动，又是一张渔网罩将过来。 周伯通跃回厅心，只见东南西北四方均有四名绿衫人张开渔网挡住去路。周伯通又即跃上横梁，一招“冲天掌”在屋顶上打了个大洞，待要从洞中钻出，一抬头，却见上面也罩了一张渔网。他无路可走，翻身下地，指着谷主笑道：“黄脸皮老头儿，你留住我干么啊？要我陪你玩耍吗？” 公孙谷主淡淡的道：“你只须将取去的四件物事留下，立时放你出谷。”周伯通奇道：“咦！我要你的臭东西有甚么用？就算本领练到如你这般，好希罕么？”公孙谷主缓缓走到厅心，右袖拂了拂身上的灰尘，左袖又拂了一拂，说道：“若非今日是我大喜的日子，便得向你领教几招。你还是留下谷中之物，好好的去罢。” 周伯通大怒，叫道：“这么说，你硬栽我偷了你的东西啦。呸，你这穷山谷中能有甚么宝贝了？”说着便解衣服，一件件的脱将下来，手脚极其快捷，片刻之间已赤条条的除得精光。公孙谷主连声喝阻，他哪里理睬，将衣裤里里外外翻了一转，果然并无别物。厅上众女弟子均感狼狈，转过了头不敢看他。这一下却也大出谷主意料之外，他书房、丹房、芝房、剑房中每处失去的物事都甚要紧，非追回不可，难道这老顽童当真并未偷去？ 他正自沉吟，周伯通拍手叫道：“瞧你年纪也已一大把，怎地如此为老不尊？说话口不择言，行事颠三倒四，在大庭广众之间作此丑事，岂非笑掉了旁人牙齿？”这几句话其实正该责备他自己，不料却给他抢先说了，只听得公孙谷主啼笑皆非，倒也无言可对，见樊一翁与马光佐兀自在地下缠打不休，于是喝道：“一翁起来，别再跟客人胡闹。” 周伯通笑道：“长胡子，你这脾气我很喜欢，咱二老大可交交啊。”其实樊一翁一生端严稳重，今日与马光佐厮打实是迫不得已，他早已数次欲待站起，苦于胡子给对方缠在手臂之上，无法脱身。 公孙谷主眉头微皱，指着周伯通道：“说到在大庭广众之间，行事惹人耻笑，只怕还是阁下自己。”周伯通道：“我赤条条从娘肚子中出来，现下赤身露体，清清白白，有甚么不对了？你这么老了，还想娶一个美貌的闺女为妻，嘿嘿，可笑啊可笑！”这几句话犹似一个大铁锤般打在谷主胸口，他焦黄的脸上掠过一片红潮，半晌说不出话来。 周伯通叫道：“啊哟，不好，没穿衣服，只怕着凉。”突然向厅口冲去。 厅中四个绿衫弟子只见人形一晃，急忙移动方位，四下里兜将上去，将他裹在网中。只觉他在网中猛力挣扎，四人将渔网四角结住，提到谷主面前。那渔网是极坚韧极柔软的金丝铸成，即是宝刀宝剑，也不易切割得破。四人兜网的手法十分奇特迅捷，交叉走位，遮天蔽地的撒将过来，纵是极强的高手也难应付，所差的是必须四人共使，若是单打独斗就用它不着。四人一兜成功，大是得意，却见谷主注视渔网，脸上神色不善，急忙低头看时，登时吓得出了一身冷汗，七手八脚解开金丝网，放出两个人来，却是樊一翁与马光佐。 原来周伯通脱光了衣服，谁也没防到他竟会不穿衣服而猛地冲出。他身法奇快，兜手抄起地下正自缠斗的樊马二人，丢入网中。乘着四弟子急收渔网，他早已窜出。这一下虚虚实实，声东击西，端的是神出鬼没。 老顽童这么一闹，公孙谷主固是脸上无光，连金轮法王等也是心中有愧，均想：自己枉称武林中的一流好手，合这许多人之力，尚且擒不住这样疯疯癫癫的一个老头儿，也算得无能之至。只有杨过甚感欣喜，他对周伯通极是佩服，心想他若失手被擒，我定要设法相救，现下他能自行脱逃，那就再好也没有了。 法王本拟查察这谷主是何来历，但经周伯通一阵捣乱，觉得再耽下去也无意味，与潇湘子、尹克西两人悄悄议论了两句，站起身来拱手道：“极蒙谷主盛情，厚意相待，本该多所讨教，但因在下各人身上有事，就此别过。” 公孙谷主本来疑心这六人与老顽童是一路的朋友，后见潇湘子与他性命相搏，法王、尹克西、杨过、尼摩星、马光佐各施绝技攻打，倒是颇有相助自己之意，于是拱手道：“小弟有一件不情之请，不知六位能予俯允否？”法王道：“但教力之所及，当得效劳。”谷主道：“今日午后，小弟续弦行礼，想屈各位大驾观礼。这山谷僻处穷乡，数百年来外人罕至，今日六位贵客同时降临，也真是小弟三生有幸了。”马光佐道：“有酒喝么？” 公孙谷主待要回答，只见杨过双眼怔怔的瞪视着厅外，脸上神色古怪已极，似是大欢喜，又似是大苦恼。众人均感诧异，顺着他目光瞧去。只见一个白衣女郎缓缓的正从厅外长廊上走过，淡淡阳光照在她苍白的脸上，清清冷冷，阳光似乎也变成了月光。她睫毛下泪光闪烁，走得几步，泪珠就从她脸颊上滚下。她脚步轻盈，身子便如在水面上飘浮一般掠过走廊，始终没向大厅内众人瞥上一眼。 杨过好似给人点了穴道，全身动弹不得，突然间大叫：“姑姑！” 那白衣女郎已走到了长廊尽头，听到叫声，身子剧烈一震，轻轻的道：“过儿，过儿，你在哪儿？是你在叫我吗？”回过头来，似乎在寻找甚么，但目光茫然，犹似身在梦中。 杨过从厅上急跃而出，拉住了她手，叫道：“姑姑，你也来啦，我找得你好苦！”接着“哎唷”一声，却是手指上被情花小刺刺伤处蓦地里剧痛难当。
那白衣女郎“啊”的一声大叫，身子颤抖，坐倒在地，合了双眼，似乎晕了过去。杨过叫道：“姑姑，你……你怎么啦？”过了半晌，那女郎缓缓睁眼，站起身来，说道：“阁下是谁？你对我是怎生称呼？” 杨过大吃一惊，向她凝目瞧去，却不是小龙女是谁？忙道：“姑姑，我是过儿啊，怎……怎地你不认得我了么？你身子好么？甚么地方不舒服？” 那女郎再向他望了一眼，冷冷的道：“我与阁下素不相识。”说着走进大厅，走到公孙谷主身旁坐下。杨过奇怪之极，迷迷惘惘的回进厅来，左手扶住椅背。 公孙谷主一直脸色漠然，此时不自禁的满脸喜色，举手向法王等人道：“她便是兄弟的新婚夫人，已择定今日午后行礼成亲。”说着眼角向杨过淡淡一扫，似怪他适才行事莽撞，认错了人，以致令他新夫人受惊。 杨过这一惊更是非同小可，大声道：“姑姑，难道你……你不是小龙女么？难道你不是我师父么？”那女郎缓缓摇头，说道：“不是！甚么小龙女？” 杨过双手捏拳，指甲深陷掌心，脑中乱成一团：“姑姑恼了我，不肯认我？只因咱们身处险地，她故弄玄虚？她像我义父一样，甚么事都忘记了？可是义父仍然认得我啊。莫非世间真有与她一模一样之人？”只说：“姑姑，你……你……我……我是过儿啊！” 公孙谷主见他失态，微微皱眉，低声向那女郎道：“柳妹，今日奇奇怪怪的人真多。”那女郎也不睬他，慢慢斟了一杯清水，慢慢喝了，眼光从金轮法王起逐一扫过，却避开了杨过，没再看他。众人但见她衣袖轻颤，杯中清水泼了出来溅上她衣衫，她却全然不觉。 杨过心下慌乱，徬徨无计，转头问法王道：“我师父和你比过武的，你自然记得。你说我……我认错了人么？” 当这女郎进厅之时，法王早已认明她是小龙女，然而她却对杨过毫不理睬，心想定是这对少年男女闹甚么别扭，于是微微一笑，说道：“我也不大记得了。”小龙女与杨过联手使玉女素心剑法，令他遭受生平从所未有之大败，他想倘若这对男女龃龉反目，于自己实是大有好处，何必助他们和好？ 杨过又是一愕，随即会意，心下大怒：“你这和尚可太也歹毒。当你在山顶养伤之际，我出力助你，此时你却来害我。”恨不得立时便杀了他。 金轮法王见他失神落魄，眼中却露出恨恨之意，寻思：“他对我已怀恨在心，留着这小子总是后患。今日他方寸大乱，实是除他的良机。”拱手向公孙谷主笑道：“今日欣逢谷主大喜，自当观礼道贺，只是老衲和这几位朋友未携薄礼，未免有愧。” 公孙谷主听他说肯留下参与婚礼，心中大喜，对那女郎道：“这几位都是武林高人，只须请到一位，已是莫大荣幸，何况请到了……请到了……”他本想说“六位”，但觉杨过少年轻浮，适才见他与周伯通动手，姿式虽然美观，功力却是平平，料想武学修为华而不实，不能将他列于“武林高人”之数，但若将他除外而只说“五位”，未免又过于着迹，微一踌躇，接口道：“……请到了这众位英雄。”就没接下文。法王暗想：“这谷主气派俨然，瞧他布渔网擒拿老顽童的阵势，武功智谋都甚了得，可是器量却小。杨过与小龙女说了这几句话，他就耿耿于怀。” 公孙谷主道：“柳妹，这位是金轮法王……”一个个的说下去，最后说了杨过姓名。那女郎听到各人名号时只微微点头，脸上木然，似对一切全不萦怀，对杨过却是连头也不点，眼睛向着厅外。 杨过满脸胀得通红，心中已如翻江倒海一般，公孙谷主说甚么话，他半句也没听见。尼摩星、尹克西等本来不知他的渊源，只道他认错了人，以致有愧于心。 公孙绿萼站在父亲背后，杨过这一切言语举止却没半点漏过她的耳目，尽自思量：“晨间他手指给情花刺伤，即遭相思之痛，瞧他此时情状，难道我这新妈妈便是他意中人么？天下事怎能有如此巧法？莫非他与这些人到我谷中，实是为我新妈妈而来？”侧头打量那“新妈妈”时，见她脸上竟无喜悦之意，亦无娇羞之色，实不似将作新嫁娘的模样，心下更是犯疑。 杨过胸口闷塞，如欲窒息，随即转念：“姑姑既然执意不肯认我，料来她另有图谋，我当别寻途径试探真相。”于是站起身来，向谷主一揖，朗声说道：“小子有位尊亲，与……与这位姑娘容貌极是相像，适才不察，竟致误认，还请勿罪。” 公孙谷主听到他这几句雍容有礼之言，立时改颜相向，还了一揖，说道：“认错了人，那也是常情，何怪之有？只是……”顿了一顿，笑道：“天下竟然另有一个如她这等容颜之人，那不仅巧合，也是奇怪之极了。”言下之意，自是说普天之下哪里还能有一个这般美貌的女子？ 杨过道：“是啊，小子也是十分奇怪。小子冒昧，请问这位姑娘高姓？”公孙谷主微微一笑，道：“她姓柳。尊亲可也姓柳？”杨过道：“那倒不是。”心下琢磨：“姑姑干么要改姓柳？”突然心念一动：“啊，为的是我姓杨。”念头这么一转，手指上又剧痛起来。 公孙绿萼见他痛楚神情，甚有怜惜之意，眼光始终不离他的脸庞。 公孙谷主向杨过凝视片刻，又向那白衣女郎望了一眼，只见她低头垂眉，一声不响，心中起疑，又想：“刚才她听到这小子呼唤，我隐隐听到她似乎说'过儿，过儿，你在哪儿？是你在叫我么？'莫非她真是这小子的姑姑？却何以不认他？”待要出言相询，但想眼下外人众多，此事待婚礼之后慢慢再问不迟，于是话到口边，却又缩回。 杨过又道：“这位柳姑娘自非在谷中世居的了，不知谷主如何与她结识？” 古时女子本来决不轻易与外人相见，成亲吉日更加不会见客，但金轮法王等或是西域胡人，或为江湖异流，绝不拘泥俗礼，见那白衣女郎出来，也不以为奇，只是觉得她于良辰吉日兀自全身缟素，未免太也不伦不类；听得杨过询问谷主与她结识的经过，涉及旁人私情，却均觉不免过分。 公孙谷主却也正想获知他未婚夫人的来历，心道：“这小子真的认识柳妹也未可知。”说道：“杨兄弟所料不差。半月之前，我到山边采药，遇到她卧在山脚之下，身受重伤，气息奄奄。我一加探视，知她因练内功走火，于是救到谷中，用家传灵药助她调养。说到相识的因缘，实是出于偶然。” 法王插口道：“这正所谓千里姻缘一线牵。想必柳姑娘由是感恩图报，委身以事了。那真是郎才女貌，佳偶天成啊。”他这番话似是奉承谷主，用意却在刺伤杨过。 杨过一听此言，果是脸色大变，全身发颤，突然间喉头微甜，一口鲜血喷在地下。 那白衣女郎见此情状，颤声道：“你……你……”急忙站起，伸手欲扶，但终于强自忍住，跟着也是一口鲜血吐在胸口，白衣上赤血殷然。
这柳姑娘正是小龙女的化名。她那晚在客店中听了黄蓉一席话后，心想若与杨过结成夫妇，累得他终身受世人轻视唾骂，自己于心不安，但若与他长在古墓中厮守，日子一久，他定会闷闷不乐，左思右想，长夜盘算，终于硬起心肠，悄然离去。但她对杨过实
