Chapter 28 The twenty-eighth wedding ceremony

Yang Guo still put his right sleeve around Xiao Longnu's waist, supporting her body, and said in a low voice: "Gu Gu, let's go!" Xiao Longnu smiled sweetly, and said in a low voice: "At this time, I am dying by your side. I feel very happy in my heart..." Suddenly remembered something again, and said: "Guo Daxia's girl hurt your arm, she won't treat you well. Then who will take care of you in the future?" Thinking of this, she felt very sad , said in a low voice: "You are a lonely child, you... have no one to accompany you..." Seeing that her life was dying, Yang Guo couldn't help the pain, he suddenly remembered: "That day on Mount Zhongnan, she once asked me if I would like her to be my wife, I was stunned and didn't answer at that time, which led to many births in the future. Disasters and hardships. There is not much time in front of me, so I must let her understand my intentions." He said loudly: "What kind of master-student status, what kind of innocence, let us all treat it as a fart! Get the fuck out! Die No matter whether you live or live, neither of us will suffer, and neither will be alone. From now on, you are not my master, not my aunt, but my wife!"

Xiao Longnv was full of joy, looked at his face, and said in a low voice: "Is this your truth? Did you say something sweet on purpose to make me happy?" Yang Guo said, "Of course it is sincerity. I broke my arm, You pity me more; whatever disaster you encounter, I pity you even more." Xiao Longnv said in a low voice: "Yes, there is no one else in the world who pities me except you and me." The hundreds of Taoists in Chongyang Palace are all monks and cultivators, suddenly hearing the two of them love each other softly, they are all in a panic, the old one is quite embarrassing, and the young one is unavoidably aroused.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and some couldn't help blushing.Sun Buer, a Sanjing Sanren, shouted: "Go out of the palace quickly, Chongyang Palace is a pure place, you shouldn't say such indecent words here!"

Yang Guo didn't listen, he stared into Xiaolongnv's eyes and said: "Back then Master Chongyang and my mother-in-law of the Ancient Tomb School were supposed to get married, but I don't know why they bothered each other because of the strange etiquette, which made each of us end up hating each other. Today we are here Patriarch Chongyang worshiped and got married in front of the seat, and got married, which made our patriarch and mother-in-law angry." He didn't have a good impression of Wang Chongyang at first, but since he started to practice his inscriptions on the ancient tomb, the more he practiced, the more he got better. Admiration, and later became very reverence, faintly felt that he was his heir.Xiao Longnv sighed, and said quietly: "Guoer, it's really nice of you to treat me."

At that time, Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying had a deep affection for each other, and the five Quanzhen sons knew it well. Although they all admired their master for wielding a sword of wisdom to cut through their love, they were indeed a great hero. In the year of 1999, he was autistic all his life in the ancient tomb, and he was all sighed.At this moment when Yang Guo mentioned this matter, among the group of Taoists, the younger ones didn't know the reason, but it was nothing, the older ones were all shocked. Sun Buer yelled: "The first teacher left home with great wisdom and great determination to create teachings. How can you, a young man, be able to see through his painstaking efforts and solitary attainments? If you continue to act boldly and talk nonsense here, don't blame me for being under the sword." You're ruthless." At the Dashengguan Hero Banquet that day, Yang Guo refused Sun Buer's gift of a long sword, making her unable to step down on the spot.Although she is a cultivator, her mind is far less magnanimous than Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and others. As a senior in Quanzhen sect, she was humiliated by her disciples and grandchildren, so she couldn't help feeling grudges.In addition, as a woman, she lived with other Taoists and practiced in groups, and she was very strict with herself. When she heard that Yang Guo wanted to worship and get married in front of the statue of the patriarch, which was considered sacred and inviolable by the Quanzhen sect, she burst into anger and couldn't restrain it. Seeing that Yang Long and the two of them ignored her shouts, there was a swipe sound, and the long sword was unsheathed for the second time.

Yang Guo glanced at her coldly, thinking: "Just because you are an old Taoist nun, of course you are no match for me. If you make a move, the rest of the Quanzhen sect will have no reason to do nothing. But I must marry my aunt immediately. If you don't This worship hall has to go to Chongyang Palace. If she dies from serious injuries, wouldn’t it make her die of hatred? You call me 'brave and reckless', huh, my Yang Guo's bold and reckless behavior didn't start today. I said I would Get married in front of the Chongyang Patriarch's statue, and do what you say." You looked around, and saw that half of the Taoists had swords in their hands, and said, "Daozhang Sun, you must force us out, don't you?"

Sun Buer sternly said, "Let's go! From now on, the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect will be completely separated, and they will never have anything to do with each other. It is best not to see each other again!" Yang Guo let out a long sigh, shook his head, turned around, took two steps towards the small path leading to the ancient tomb, slowly put the black iron sword on his back, waved his right sleeve, stretched out his left arm to support Xiaolongnv, and secretly Concentrating on the dantian, he suddenly raised his head, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, his voice moved Linshao.Qun Dao Dou was startled when they heard the deafening laughter.

Before he finished laughing, he suddenly let go of Xiao Longnv, jumped back, his left hand had clasped the two acupoints "Huizong" and "Zhigou" on Sun Buer's right wrist.Xiao Longnv has nothing to support her body, she shakes and is about to fall, Yang Guo has already pulled Sun Bu'er back and leans behind Xiao Longnv.Backing back and moving forward this time, it was really as fast as a rabbit taking off, before the eyes of the group of Taoists blinked, Sun Buer had fallen into his grasp, unable to move.Qiu Chuji, Sun Bu'er and other long-timed enemies, originally expected him to attack suddenly and captured one person as a hostage, but seeing him put away his weapon and walk towards the path out of the palace, his only arm supported Xiao Longnv, It is expected that he will retreat when he knows the difficulty, but he would laugh to harass the enemy, let go of the little dragon girl with his sleeves and return the sword to his back, these two things became the means to free up his hands to capture Sun Buer.All the Taoists shouted in unison, each holding their long swords, but since Sun Buer was in his hands, no one dared to attack.

Yang Guo said in a low voice: "Daozhang Sun, I offended you so much, I will apologize to you later." Holding her wrist, he and Xiao Longnv walked slowly towards the back hall of Chongyang Palace.The Taoists followed behind, their faces full of anger, but they had no way to deal with it.
Entering the side door, passing the side hall, and going around the corridor, Yang Long and Sun Buer finally reached the back hall with Sun Buer in their arms.Yang Guo turned his head and said loudly: "Everyone, please stand outside the hall, no one can enter the hall. The two of us have risked our lives already, if we want to fight, we will die together with Daoist Sun."

Wang Chuyi said in a low voice: "Senior brother Qiu, what should we do?" Qiu Chuji said: "Don't move for now, just play it by ear. It seems that he doesn't dare to harm Junior Sister Sun." In his twilight years, he was coerced by a young man who had just debuted. Although he was angry when he thought about it, he couldn't help laughing. Yang Guo pulled a futon, let Sun Buer sit down, and said: "I'm sorry!" He stretched out his hand and touched the two acupoints "Dazhui" and "Shentang" on her vest, making her unable to move. Outside, he dared not come in, so he helped Xiaolongnv stand in front of Wang Chongyang's portrait, standing side by side.

I saw the Daoist in the painting with a long sword in his hand and a dashing demeanor. He was only in his thirties, and beside the portrait was the word "living dead".There are only a few strokes in the portrait, but the characters in the painting are full of heroism and elegance.Yang Guo studied art in the Chongyang Palace when he was young, and he was familiar with this portrait. He knew it was the portrait of the patriarch. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was also a portrait of Wang Chongyang in the ancient tomb. The painting is a back view, but the brushwork is the same, she said: "This painting is also the handwriting of the patriarch." Xiao Longnv nodded, smiled sweetly at him, and said in a low voice: "We got married before the portrait of the Patriarch in Chongyang, and this painting It was painted by the patriarch and mother-in-law, it couldn't be better."

Yang Guo kicked two futons, placed them side by side in front of the portrait, and said loudly: "Disciple Yang Guo and disciple Longshi, today wedded before Chongyang Patriarch, hundreds of Taoist priests of Quanzhen sect here are all witnesses." Kneeling on the futon, seeing that Xiaolongnu was standing but not kneeling, she said: "Let's pay homage here and get married, you should kneel down too!"Yang Guo said softly: "What do you have to say? Is it not good to be here?" Xiao Longnv tremblingly said: "No, no!" She paused and said: "I am neither innocent nor dying. Man, why do you...why do you treat me so well?" At this point, tears flowed down his cheeks. Yang Guo stood up again, stretched out his sleeves to wipe her tears, and said with a smile, "Don't you understand my heart?" Both of us can live another hundred years, so that I can treat you well and repay your kindness to me. If not, if God only allows us to live one more day, we will be husband and wife for one day, and we are only allowed to live for another hour. Just be a husband and wife for an hour." Seeing his sincere face, the deep affection in his eyes, Xiao Longnv was excited, she really didn't know how to cherish him, a smile slowly appeared on her miserable face, the tears were still wet, but her expression was already joyful Unlimited, so Yingying knelt down on the futon. Yang Guo followed and knelt down.Both of them bowed down to the portrait, thinking: "Although the two of us have been lonely all our lives, since we have this day and this moment, we are truly blessed. The pain and troubles of the past and the short-lived death of the future are nothing. .” The two looked at each other and smiled, and kowtowed on the futon. Yang Guo prayed in a low voice: "Disciple Yang Guo and Longshi sincerely love each other and will never change. We wish to be married forever." Sun Bu'er was sitting on the futon, although he could not move his body, he could hear the words and expressions of the two of them clearly, but he felt that the two were upright, and although their actions were absurd, they were out of one's nature. Feeling in love, I can't help but think of the scene when I was a teenager and Ma Yu's newlywed Yan Er.She was originally full of anger, but when Yang and Long stood up after bowing, the expression on her face softened greatly. Yang Guo thought to himself: "Now we two are married, even if we die immediately, there is no regret." The original heart of guarding against the intrusion of Taoists, he immediately put away, smiled to Xiaolongnv: "I am Quanzhen sect You are a rebellious disciple, as is well known in the martial arts world, but you are also a great traitor." Xiao Longnv said: "Yes. Master forbids me to accept male disciples, let alone marry, but I have not obeyed any of them. Man-made calamities and catastrophes are numerous, and he deserves the crime." Yang Guo said loudly, "If you rebel, you will rebel to the end. The patriarch Wang and the patriarch's mother-in-law are heroes, they are a hundred times better than you and me, but they dare not get married. If the two patriarchs Quanxia know , may not necessarily say that we are wrong!" When he said these words, he was full of energy, and he really looked up to the world, and there was no one before.
At this moment, there was a loud rattling sound on the roof, bricks and tiles flew, rafters broke, and the sound was astonishing. I saw a huge bell falling from the hole in the roof, aiming at the top of Sun Buer's head and falling straight down. Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv went to the hall to get married unscrupulously in the hall, and everyone in Quanzhen Sect was angry.Liu Chuxuan pondered for a long while, then he had a plan in mind, and he bent his ear and told Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and Hao Datong.San Dao nodded again and again, whispered a few words to his disciples, and when Yang and Long turned around and bowed inward, they went to the front hall to take down a large bronze bell weighing more than a thousand catties, and the four of them split up and flew on it. The roof of the hall, knowing its position, slammed down, broke through a big hole, and fell down on Sun Buer.The four martial arts are very good, although the huge bell is heavy, when it falls, there is a difference of countless inches, as long as Sun Buer is covered by the bell, Yang Guo will not be able to hurt her for a while, and all the Taoists will rush forward, will the two of them not be bound? Yang Guo saw the giant bell fall, he knew the reason, he immediately drew out the black iron sword and stabbed it out, with the force of the wind and thunder, he only heard a proper sound, the buzzing continued, the tip of the sword had pierced the bronze bell.Although the bell weighed a thousand catties, but the sword was extremely powerful, and it came from the side. The huge bell slanted forward two feet in the air, and when it fell, it would be on Sun Buer's body. Liu Chuxuan and the other four people could see clearly from the hole in the roof of the hall, they exclaimed in unison, their hearts groaned, they never expected that this young man's sword had such supernatural power, seeing Sun Buer, he was about to fly with flesh and blood, crushed by the giant clock It was miserable.Liu Chuxuan closed his eyes, he didn't dare to look again, but he heard Qiu Chuji cheering and shouting: "Thank you for your mercy!" Liu Chuxuan opened his eyes, he couldn't help being surprised, he saw that the bell still covered Sun Buer's whole body , there is no bloody limb beside the clock, and even Sun Buer's Taoist robe is not exposed. It turned out that when Yang Guo saw the sword pushing the huge clock, Sun Buer must be killed immediately, he suddenly thought: "Today is my husband and wife's happy day, why bother to hurt people's lives? This old Taoist just has a bad temper, and there is nothing wrong with it. As soon as his mind moved, he flicked out the sleeve of his right hand, pushed the futon under Sun Buer's body, and sent her to the bottom of the bell. Liu Qiu Wang Hao Sidao was surprised and delighted at the top of the hall, they both felt that it would be inconvenient to fight Yang Guo again, but their disciples had already been ordered to rush in to attack as soon as the giant bell fell.They couldn't see the change of the bottom of the bell outside the hall, they could only hear the sudden loud noise and the flying of dust, everyone shouted and charged into the hall with their long swords straightened. Yang Guo stabbed the black iron sword into his back, stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Longnv and jumped towards the back of the hall. Qiu Chuji shouted: "Disciples, be careful, don't hurt the lives of the two of them!" The voice was loud and clear, even though hundreds of people were shouting and shouting, everyone could still hear clearly.All the disciples chased to the back of the hall and shouted loudly: "Catch the traitor!" , don’t hurt the lives of both of them!” Before Liu Chuxuan jumped to the top of the hall, he had laid down twenty one hard hands in the courtyard behind the hall.As soon as Yang Guo turned around the screen door, he saw sword lights shining in the yard, and knew someone was blocking it.He thought to himself: "It's better to escape from the hole on the roof of the hall. Although there are four masters above, these four will not be able to use their killer moves on me." He hugged Xiao Longnv and rushed back to the hall.Xiao Longnv hugged his head and neck with both hands, and said softly: "Anyway, we are married, and our wish is fulfilled in this world. It's fine if we succeed, it's okay if we don't." Yang Guo said: "Not bad!" Flying up, the mandarin ducks connected with the left leg, and with two bang bangs, kicked the two Taoist priests out of the hall.The hall was no wider than the front of the Yuxu Cave, it was crowded with Taoists, and the Big Dipper Formation couldn't be used, but Yang Guo could only hurt the enemy with his legs after holding the little dragon girl in his left arm, and he couldn't break out of the encirclement, he secretly hated: "These bull-nosed Taoists I can't form a formation, if I still have an arm, how can I trap the two of us?" With a bang, another Taoist was kicked away by him, and fell flying, hitting the two of them. In the midst of the chaos, suddenly an old man with white beard and white hair rushed out of the hall, followed by a large swarm of bees. It was the old urchin Zhou Botong.The apse was already in chaos, Zhou Botong was added, all the disciples didn't care for a while, but when the bees flew over, they immediately stinged and stinged.These bees are very unusual, they are the jade bees tamed by the little dragon girl in the ancient tomb, some of the Quanzhen Taoists were stung, and the pain was unbearable immediately, some couldn't bear it, they rolled and called on the ground, adding to the chaos . Zhou Botong originally wanted to go to Xiangyang City to help Guo Jing, but after stealing Xiaolongnv's jade honey syrup, he was afraid of seeing her again, so he would not go to Xiangyang City, so he came to Zhongnan Mountain to find Zhao Zhijing and ask him why he dared As a result, the master and uncle escaped death.He played with jade honey syrup along the way, and gradually figured out some ways to direct the bees.Playing with bees on the road, that's all, once they arrived at Zhongnan Mountain, they caused trouble immediately.The jade bees on the mountain smelled the sweet fragrance of jade honey syrup, and rushed over one after another.Jade Bee is used to Xiao Longnu's hand gestures, Zhou Botong naturally drives her away, not only does she not move, but she also refuses to have a breakup with him.Seeing that the situation was not good, the old naughty boy had to run to the Chongyang Palace, looking for a place to hide, just in time to catch up with the chaos in the palace, which was extremely lively. Seeing Xiao Longnv and Yang Guo in the hall, he was both surprised and delighted, he quickly threw the bottle of jade honey syrup to Xiao Longnv, and shouted: "Be good, I can't serve these old bees, good girl, come and help me." Yang Guo flicked out his robe sleeves and grabbed the bottle, Xiao Longnv smiled slightly and stretched out her hand to take it. At this time, bee swarms were flying in the hall, Qiu Chuji and others jumped down from the top of the hall to salute the uncle and say hello.Hao Datong shouted: "Get the torch quickly!" Some of the disciples covered their faces with their sleeves, some swung their swords at the bees, and some of them responded to the call to get the torch. Zhou Botong ignored Qiu Chuji and the others, his forehead was stung twice by the Jade Bee, and it was already swollen, he just hoped to find a safe place where the bees couldn't get in, he saw a huge bell on the ground, he was overjoyed, Busy luck opened the bronze bell, but saw someone under the bell.He didn't look at who it was, and said: "Excuse me, please let me give way." Pushing Sun Buer out of the clock, he slipped in by himself, and as soon as he let go, the huge clock closed again with a bang, feeling very proud: "Even if thousands of bees and tens of thousands of bees come after you, you won't be able to bite my old naughty boy!" Yang Guo said in a low voice: "You command the bees to help, let's rush out." Xiaolongnv became Yang Guo's wife, and when she heard that there was an order in his words, she felt very comfortable and thought, "Okay, he finally No longer consider me a master, but really consider me a wife." Immediately replied: "Yes!" The voice was extremely gentle and obedient, raised the honey bottle, waved it a few times, and shouted several times.When the jade bees met their master, they formed a group in a short while, Xiao Longnv couldn't stop waving and shouting, the large group of jade bees divided into two teams, one team opened the way, and the other team broke up, and rushed out to protect Yang Long. Zhou Botong disrupted the situation like this, Qiu Chuji and others were both surprised and delighted, and it was also funny, seeing Yang and Long retreating to the back of the hall, they stopped all the disciples from chasing after them.As soon as Wang Chuji untied Sun Buer's acupuncture points, Qiu Chuji went to pull the huge bell.Zhou Botong hid inside the clock, not knowing what was going on outside the clock, suddenly felt that the clock was being pulled, as if it was about to be opened, he shouted: "Be good!" He stretched out his arms, supported the wall of the clock, and shouted: "Come down! "Qiu Chuji's internal strength was not as deep as his, and with a sound, the clock was half a foot off the ground, and it was covered again.Qiu Chuji laughed and said, "Uncle Zhou is joking again, come on, let's do it together!" When Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, Liu Chuxuan and Hao Datong each put out a palm, pressed on the bell and pushed it out, they shouted in unison: "Get up!" The four forces squeezed together and lifted the bell three feet off the ground, but Seeing that there was no one under the bell, Zhou Botong had disappeared.The four of them said "Hey", and after a while, a figure flickered, and Zhou Botong laughed loudly and stood beside the clock.It turned out that just now he spread his hands and feet, propped himself inside the wall of the clock, and was lifted together with the huge clock, so others naturally couldn't see him. Qiu Chuji and others came forward again to salute.Zhou Botong waved his hands wildly, and shouted: "Forget it, forget it, good boys are exempt from courtesy!" At this time Qiu Chuji and the others were all bewildered, but Zhou Botong still called them "good boys". Everyone was about to talk, when Zhou Botong caught sight of Zhao Zhijing sneaking away, he yelled, went up and grabbed it, and cursed: "You are a bully, do you still want to run away?" With his left hand, he pushed the huge clock and lifted Two feet high, he threw him to the bottom of the bell with his right hand, let go of his left hand, and the giant clock closed, still muttering cursing incessantly: "A thief with a nose, a thief with a nose." At this time, except for him, the other people in the hall They were all Taoists, and he yelled at "the thief with a nose" and scolded Wang Chongyang's disciples and grandchildren.Qiu Chuji and the others were well aware of his uncle's temper, so they didn't think he was disobedient, and couldn't help smiling. Wang Chu said: "Uncle, Zhao Zhijing offended you for some reason? This disciple will definitely punish you severely." Zhou Bo said: "Hey, this thief Niubi led me to steal the flag in the cave, but it turns out that there are red, green and green flags hidden in the cave. The spider is extremely poisonous, thanks to the little girl, eh, where is the little girl? Where did the bee go?" He spoke incoherently, Wang Chuyi didn't understand, he was looking around for the little dragon girl. At this time, more than ten disciples came to report, Yang and Long retreated to the attic of the Buddhist scriptures in the back mountain, all the disciples did not dare to burn the bee with torches, for fear of burning the Daozang.Qiu Chuji and others were surprised, the Sutra Pavilion is the important place of Quanzhen Sect, all the works of Taoist Cang, Wang Chongyang and his seven disciples, as well as the secrecy volumes of the sect are hidden in the pavilion, if there is any loss, the loss will be big.Qiu Chuji said: "Let's go over and see, Yang Guo was merciful, he didn't hurt Junior Sister Sun, so we can turn an enemy into a friend." Sun Buer said: "That's right!" At that moment, everyone rushed to the scripture storage pavilion in the back mountain. As soon as Wang Chu saw Zhao Zhijing, the first disciple of his sect, being covered in the bell by Zhou Botong, he thought to himself: "Uncle Zhou acted foolishly, this may not be the fault of Zhijing, and we will investigate in detail later." He was afraid that the huge bell would be airtight and suffocate him to death. , so he struggled to raise the clock a few inches, stretched out his foot to push a brick, and placed it under the edge of the clock, leaving a gap of several inches for ventilation, before rushing away. In front of the Dezangjing Pavilion, I saw hundreds of disciples shouting loudly in front of the pavilion, but no one dared to go upstairs.Qiu Chuji called out loudly: "Yang Long, let's let the past go, how about turning an enemy into a friend?" After a while, there was no sound from the pavilion.Qiu Chuji said again: "Miss Long is injured, please come down and try to heal it together. The disciples of our sect will never dare to be rude to you two. Qiu has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has never broken his promise with a single word." A long while passed , still completely silent. Liu Chuxuan had a thought, and said: "They have already left!" Qiu Chuji said: "Why?" Liu Chuxuan said: "Look at the swarms of bees flying around, scattered into the flowers." Taking a torch from his disciple, he flew first Step up to the pavilion. Qiu Chuji followed them up the stairs to the pavilion, but they saw that there were only books on the four walls in the pavilion, and no one was there, but the bottle of jade bee jelly was placed on the desk in the middle.As if he had found a treasure, Zhou Botong grabbed it and put it in his arms.Everyone looked back and forth in the pavilion, and saw that the books were not lost, only a pile of books were placed on the floor, but the wooden box containing the books was gone.Suddenly they heard Hao Datong shout: "They're leaving from here!" Everyone followed the sound and walked to the back window of the pavilion, and saw a rope tied to the wooden post, and the other end was tied to a tree on the opposite cliff.There is a deep stream between the Sutra Pavilion and the cliff, originally there was no way to go, unexpectedly Yang Guo would perform lightness kung fu and carry Xiao Longnv across the valley on the rope. Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv got married in the back hall of Chongyang Palace, everyone in the Quanzhen sect felt that they had lost their prestige, but seeing the two of them retreating completely, the five Quanzhen sons looked at each other with wry smiles, and felt relieved.Sun Buer was the most indignant at first, but when she saw the sincerity of the two of them in the hall, and Yang Guo spared her life at the critical moment, she couldn't help feeling relieved and kept silent. The five Quanzhen sons and Zhou Botong returned to the main hall and asked about the reasons for the Mongolian Khan's decree, the conflict between the Yin and Zhao factions, and the sudden attack by the little dragon girl.Li Zhichang and Song Defang reported the facts one by one.Qiu Chuji burst into tears, and said: "It is indeed a big mistake for Zhiping to tarnish people's innocence, but he defended the loyalty of my religion and vowed not to surrender to Mongolia, which is really a great service." But he is righteous, and we should still recognize him as the master of teaching." Liu Chuxuan, Hao Datong and others all said yes.Qiu Chuji said again: "If Miss Long was not suitable to block the enemy at this time, my sect would have been wiped out. Miss Long is indeed a great benefactor of my sect, from now on, not only must she not be rude to him and his wife, but she must try to repay her kindness. Alas, we accidentally injured her, I don't know... I don't know..." Guessing that her injury was serious and incurable, he apologized deeply. Qiu Chuji and others were busy inquiring about the past and dealing with the aftermath, but Zhou Botong didn't take these matters to heart at all. He just held the bottle of jade honey syrup in his hand and tried to uncork the bottle several times to lure the bees, but he was always afraid of attracting the bees. It can come, but it cannot go away.At this time, a disciple came forward to report that five disciples were stung by the Jade Bee, and the pain was unbearable, so he asked the teacher to help.Hao Datong recalled the matter of Grandma Sun breaking into the palace to give honey back then, and said: "This bottle of jade honey syrup is expected to be left by Miss Long for us to treat wounds. Uncle, please give the honey syrup to five disciples, Let them share it." Zhou Botong stretched out his hands, his palms were empty, and said: "I don't know why, I suddenly can't find it." Hao Datong obviously saw that he was still holding it in his hand just now, how could he suddenly disappear, he must not hand it over, but his body As an elder, but it is inconvenient to use words to run on him, he can't help being embarrassed.Zhou Botong flicked his robe sleeves, patted his body a few times, and said, "I'm not hiding, don't suspect that I'm stingy. Do you want me to strip naked for you to see?" It turned out that the old urchin loves to play. , disregarding priorities and urgency will not change until old age, thinking that if a few bull noses are stung by bees a few times, it will hurt for a long time at most, and there will be no danger of life. This bottle of precious honey syrup cannot be given to others, so Hao As soon as Datong opened his mouth, he stuffed the honey syrup into his sleeve, and slid down the sleeve, from his chest to his abdomen. The stomach shrank, and the bottle got into his trousers, slowly slipped from the trousers to the instep, and landed gently on the ground.His internal energy was profound, his muscles could be flexed freely, he sent the vial to the ground without making a sound. Wang Chu thought wholeheartedly: "Since my uncle is unwilling to hand it over, I have to wait for him to take it out to play with someone else, and suddenly come forward and ask him to make no excuses. As soon as everyone walks away, he will definitely not be able to bear it, and he will die immediately." Take it out. At this time, it is important to deal with the traitor Zhao Zhijing, if it wasn't for Yin Zhiping who would rather die than surrender, wouldn't my reputation for decades of teaching be ruined by this traitor?" Thinking of this, he said sharply: "Junior Brother Hao, please slow down the healing It doesn't matter, we have to execute the traitor Zhao Zhijing first!" The five Quanzhen sons have known each other for decades, and all their seniors and brothers know that Wang Chuyi is upright and selfless. Although Zhao Zhijing is his first disciple, he has committed the serious crime of apostasy, and he will never give favoritism to him.Everyone thought: "This traitor sells his teachings for glory and harms his fellow disciples. We will never spare him." Suddenly, a weak voice came from under the giant bell, saying: "Uncle Zhou Master, if you save the disciple's life, I will return the bee jelly to you, otherwise I will eat it all in one bite, and you will be dead too! "Zhou Botong was startled, he took a step away, and sure enough the bottle of honey syrup had disappeared.It turned out that he was standing next to the giant bell, Zhao Zhijing was lying under the bell, the small bottle fell right in front of him, he heard Hao Datong asking Zhou Botong for honey syrup, so he reached out his hand to get it from the gap between the bricks.He threatened with this small bottle of honey syrup, trying to escape with his life, knowing that it was a delusion, but in despair, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will fight to the end.Hearing what he said, Zhou Botong was really anxious, and shouted: "Hey, you must not eat the honey syrup, everything else is negotiable." Zhao Zhijing said: "Then you must agree to save my life. " The five Quanzhen sons were all startled, thinking that if the uncle agreed, they would not be able to deal with Zhao Zhijing.Qiu Chuji said anxiously: "Uncle, this person has committed a heinous crime and must not be forgiven." Zhou Botong put his head on the ground, and called to the bell, "Hey, you must not eat honey syrup!" Liu Chuxuan said: "Uncle Don't bother him! It's not difficult for you to ask for honey syrup. We have settled our grievances with Miss Long today, and we can go to the ancient tomb to ask for a few bottles later. Since Miss Long is willing to give you the first bottle, I will give you another bottle. Ten bottles and eight bottles are not difficult!" Zhou Botong shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, not necessarily!" He thought: "Do you think this bottle of honey syrup was given by her? I stole it. She was in a hurry when she left the scripture storage pavilion If you don’t have time to carry it, if you ask her again, she may not give it to you, even if you do, she will definitely let you take it as medicine, where is my share?” Only a slight buzzing sound was heard, five or six Jade Bees flew into the apse from the courtyard, the hall door was closed, bumping against the long windows, unable to find a way out.With a thought in his mind, Zhou Botong said, "Zhao Zhijing, I'm afraid it's not jade honey syrup you took." Zhao Zhijing said anxiously: "Yes, yes, why not?" Zhou Botong said: "Okay, then you will stop the bottle. Pull it out, let me smell it before talking. If not, don’t talk nonsense.” Zhao Zhijing hurriedly uncorked the bottle and said, “You smell it, don’t you?” Zhou Botong took a deep breath through his nostrils and said, “Well, well , It doesn’t seem to be! Let me smell it a few more times.” Zhao Zhijing held the jade bottle tightly with both hands, afraid that he would lift the huge clock and grab it with his hands, and said in his mouth: "You smell this sweet fragrance, smell this sweet fragrance!" , is already full of fragrance.Zhou Botong sneezed, and said with a smile, "I've got a bad cold, and my nose doesn't work very well!" He turned his head and winked at Qiu Chuji and the others.Zhao Zhijing also guessed that he was trying to delay the attack, and said: "If you touch the bronze bell with your hand, I will eat up the honey syrup." At this time, several jade bees had already smelled the fragrance of honey and flew to the clock.Zhou Botong waved his robe sleeve, and shouted: "Go in and sting him!" The Jade Bee might not have listened to his order, but the honey fragrance coming from the bottom of the bell became stronger and stronger, and indeed it buzzed several times, and crawled out of the gap at the bottom of the bell. go in. Only Zhao Zhijing screamed loudly, followed by a bang, the fragrance rose sharply, it was obvious that the Jade Bee had already stabbed him, and he accidentally smashed the bottle.Zhou Botong was furious and shouted: "Stinky Niubi, why can't you hold the bottle firmly?" He was about to go forward to lift the huge clock, the remaining Jade Bees in the backyard smelled the fragrance of honey and rushed in one after another, all of them got into the bottom of the clock.Zhou Botong had suffered from the jade bee, so he didn't dare to approach it.But seeing more and more jade bees getting into the bottom of the clock, and how big the gap was inside the giant clock, Zhao Zhijing's body was covered with honey paste, every movement of his hand and shaking of his head, he touched the jade bees, and his body was stung hundreds of times. Needle.At the beginning, everyone heard him screaming and screaming, but after a while, there was no sound at last, it was obvious that he had been poisoned too much, and he was already dead. Zhou Botong grabbed Liu Chuxuan's skirt and said: "Okay, Chuxuan, go and ask Miss Long for ten or eight bottles of honey syrup." Liu Chuxuan frowned, feeling embarrassed, he just begged Zhou Botong not to agree to Zhao Zhijing rashly Forgive me, so that I am full of words, in fact, the five masters of Quanzhen used the "Seven Stars Gathering" together to injure Xiao Longnv, the injury may not be able to heal, how can it be called "releasing guilt and resolving revenge"?At this time, Zhou Botong twisted his chest, he could only smile wryly: "Uncle let go, Chu Xuan will ask for it!" He turned and walked towards the ancient tomb in the back mountain. Qiu Chuji and the others knew that this trip was very dangerous, if Xiaolongnv was safe and sound, that's fine, if she died of serious injuries, how many Quanzhen disciples would die at the hands of Yang Guo, they said in unison: "Everyone go together." The forest outside the ancient tomb has not allowed Quanzhen sect disciples to step forward since Wang Chongyang, everyone obeyed the teacher's last instruction and stopped at the edge of the forest.Qiu Chuji moved his dantian with luck, and said in a loud voice: "Yang Xiaoxia, is Miss Long's injury okay? Here are some Jiuzhuan Lingbao pills for healing injuries, please come and take them." Zhou Botong said in a low voice: "Yes, yes. If you want other people’s honey syrup, you have to exchange it with something!” After a while, no one answered.Qiu Chuji raised his breath and said it again, but there was still no sound in the forest. He raised his eyes to look into the forest, and saw a gloomy and thick shadow covering the ground, crossed branches above his head, and thorns growing underground. Liu Chuxuan and Hao Datong walked along the edge of the forest, but there was no trace of anyone entering through the forest. It seems that Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv did not return to the ancient tomb, but went down to Zhongnan Mountain.Everyone was both happy and sad, they returned to Chongyang Palace, they were happy that Yang and Long went away, but worried that if Xiaolongnv died, Quanzhen Sect would have infinite troubles.The old naughty boy is also generally happy and sad, he is worried because he can't get the jade honey syrup, but he is happy because he doesn't have to meet Xiao Longnu, so as not to expose his ugliness of stealing honey. Although the Quanzhen five sons lived on Zhongnan Mountain for decades, they never guessed where Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv went.
Under the cover of the Jade Bee, Yang and Long rushed to the backyard, ran for a while, and saw a small building built against the mountain, Yang Guo knew that it was one of the important places of Chongyang Palace, the Sutra Pavilion, and carried Xiao Longnv up the stairs.The two of them took a breath, then they heard the noise of people downstairs, dozens of Taoists had already chased after them, but they were afraid of the Jade Bee, so they dared not rush. Yang Guo put Xiao Longnv on the chair and sat down firmly, he observed the surrounding situation, he saw that behind the Sutra Pavilion was a stream several tens of feet deep.Although the mountain stream is deep, fortunately it is not very wide. He always carried a long rope with him, used to tie it between two big trees to sleep, so he tied one end to the pillar of the scripture storage pavilion, pulled the rope and jumped, Having swung across the ravine, he straightened the rope, tied the other end to a big tree, and then walked back from the rope using his light-handed kung fu. He walked up to Xiaolongnu and said softly, "Where are we going?" Xiaolongnu said, "I'll go with you wherever you say." , Marry a dog and follow the dog!" He paused, and then asked: "Where do you most want to go?" Xiaolongnv sighed softly, with a longing look on her face.Yang Guo knew that what she was looking forward to most was to return to the old tomb, but he hesitated a lot on how to get in, he could hear the voices downstairs getting worse, so he couldn't stay here any longer. He understood Xiao Longnu's thoughts, and Xiao Longnu knew his thoughts, and said softly: "I don't necessarily want to go back to the ancient tomb, you don't have to worry about it." She smiled and said: "As long as I'm with you, anywhere is fine." Yang Guo thought to himself: "This is her first wish after our marriage, and it may be her last wish in this life. If I can't do it for her, how can I be her husband?" Looking around in a daze, listening to the noise downstairs, his heart was even more confused, and he glanced at the wooden boxes piled up behind the Xishou bookshelf, and thought: "There is it!" The lock was locked, and I stretched out my hand to break the lock. I opened the lid and saw that the box was full of books. I picked up the box and turned it upside down. The books in the box were scattered on the ground. Very strong.I jumped up and reached out to the top of the bookshelf to feel it, and sure enough, it was covered with oilcloth, which was set up to prevent rain and house leaks from soaking precious books.He pulled two large oilcloths and put them in the box, and then sent the box to the opposite stream with a rope, then came back and hugged Xiao Longnv, and said with a smile: "Let's go home." 小龙女甚喜，微笑道：“你这主意儿真好。”杨过怕她耽心，安慰道：“这剑无坚不摧，潜流中若有山石挡住箱子，一剑便砍开了。我走得快，你在箱子中不会气闷的。”小龙女微笑道：“便只一点不好。”杨过一怔道：“甚么？”小龙女道：“我要有好一会儿见你不着啦。” 到得对涧，杨过想起郭襄尚在山洞之中，说道：“郭伯伯的姑娘我也带来啦，你说怎么办？”小龙女一呆，颤声道：“真的？你带来了郭大侠……郭大侠的姑娘？”杨过见她神色有异，一楞之间，已然会意，知她误会自己带了郭芙来，俯下头去在她脸上轻轻一吻，低声道：“是那个生下只有一个月、还不会斩断人家手臂的女娃儿！”小龙女登时羞得满脸通红，深深藏在杨过怀里，不敢抬起头来。 过了一会，她才低声道：“咱们只好把她带到墓里去啦，在这荒山野地中放着，再过半天便得要了她的小命。”杨过心想在重阳宫中耽搁了这么久，不知郭襄在山洞中性命如何，心下大是惴惴，当下将小龙女放入箱中，抗在肩头，快步寻到山洞前，却不闻啼哭之声，心中更惊，拨开荆棘，只见郭襄沉睡正酣，双颊红红的似搽了胭脂一般。The two were overjoyed.小龙女伸手道：“我来抱。”杨过将郭襄放入她怀中，抗了木箱又行。 这时终南山的道人都会集在重阳宫中，沿路无人撞见。行过一片瓜地，杨过把道人所种的南瓜摘了六七个放在箱中，笑道：“足够咱们吃七八天的了。”过不多时，已到了溪流之边。他低头吻了吻小龙女的面颊，轻轻合上箱盖，将油布在木箱外密密包了两层，然后将箱子放入溪水，深吸一口气，拉着箱子潜了进去。 他自在荒谷的山洪中苦练气功，再在这小小溪底潜行自是毫不费力，溪水钻入地底后忽高忽低，他循着水道而行，遇有泥石阻路，木箱不易通行，提剑劈削便过。生怕小龙女在箱中气闷，行得极是迅速，不到一炷香时分，便已钻出水面，到了通向古墓的地下隧道。 他扯去油布，揭开箱盖，见小龙女微有晕厥之状，自是重伤之后挨不得辛苦，郭襄却大喊大叫，极是精神。原来她吃了一个多月的豹乳，竟比常儿壮健得多。小龙女微微一笑，低声道：“咱们终于回家啦！”再也支持不住，合上了双目。杨过不再扶她起身，便拉着木箱，回到古墓中的居室。
但见桌椅倾倒，床几歪斜，便和那日两人与李莫愁师徒恶斗一场之后离去时无异。杨过眼望石室，看着这些自己从小使用的物件，心中突然生出一股难以形容的滋味，似是喜欢，却又带着许多伤感。他呆呆出了一会神，忽觉得一滴水点落上手背，回过头来，只见小龙女扶椅而立，眼中泪水缓缓落下。 两人今日结成了眷属，长久来的心愿终于得偿，又回到了旧居，从此和尘世的冤仇、烦恼、愁苦不再有丝毫牵缠纠葛，但两人心中，却都是深自神伤，悲苦不禁。两人都知道，小龙女受了这般重伤，既中了法王金轮撞砸，又受全真五子合力扑击，她娇弱之躯，如何抵受得住？ 两人这么年轻，都是一生孤苦，从来没享过甚么真正的欢乐，突然之间得到了世间最大的福气，却立时便要生生分手！ 杨过呆了半晌，到孙婆婆房中将她的床拆了，搬到寒玉床之旁重行搭起，铺好被褥，扶着小龙女上床安睡。古墓中积存的食物都已腐败，一坛坛的玉蜂蜜浆却不会变坏。他倒了小半碗蜜浆，用清水调匀，喂着小龙女服了，又喂得郭襄饱饱的，这才自己喝了一碗。 他想：“我须得打起精神，叫她欢喜。我心中悲苦，脸上却不可有丝毫显露。”于是找了两根最粗的蜡烛用红布裹了，点在桌上，笑道：“这是咱俩的洞房花烛！” 两枝红烛一点，石室中登时喜气洋洋。小龙女坐在床上，见自己身上又是血渍，又是污泥，微笑道：“我这副怪模样，哪像个新娘子啊！”忽然想起一事，道：“过儿，你到祖师婆婆房中去，把她那口描金箱子拿来。好不好？” 杨过虽在古墓中住了几年，但林朝英的居室平时不敢擅入，她的遗物更是从来不敢碰触，这时听小龙女如此说，笑道：“对丈夫讲话，也不用这般客气。”过去将床头几口箱子中最底下的一口提了来。那箱子并不甚重，也未加锁，箱外红漆描金，花纹雅致。 小龙女道：“我听孙婆婆说，这箱中是祖师婆婆的嫁妆。后来她没嫁成，这些物事自然没用的了。”杨过“嗯”了一声，瞧着这口花饰艳丽的箱子，但觉喜意之中，总是带着无限凄凉。他将箱子放在寒玉床上，揭开箱盖，果见里面放着珠镶凤冠，金绣霞帔，大红缎子的衣裙，件件都是最上等的料子，虽然相隔数十年，看来仍是灿烂如新。小龙女道：“你取出来，让我瞧瞧。” 杨过把一件件衣衫从箱中取出，衣衫之下是一只珠钿镶嵌的梳妆盒子，一只翡翠雕的首饰盒子，梳妆盒中的胭脂水粉早干了，香油还剩着半瓶。首饰盒一打开，二人眼前都是一亮，但见珠钗、玉鈪、宝石耳环，灿烂华美，闪闪生光。杨龙二人少见珠宝，也不知这些饰物到底如何贵重，但见镶嵌精雅，式样文秀，显是每一件都花过一番极大心血。 小龙女微笑道：“我打扮做新娘子，好不好？”杨过道：“你今日累啦，先歇一晚，明儿再打扮。”小龙女摇头道：“不，今日是咱俩成亲的好日子。我爱做新娘。那日在绝情谷中，那公孙止要和我成亲，我可没打扮呢！”杨过微笑道：“那算甚么成亲？只是公孙老儿的妄想罢啦！” 小龙女拿起胭脂，调了些蜜水，对着镜子，着意打扮起来。她一生之中，这是第一次调脂抹粉，她脸色本白，实不须再搽水粉，只是重伤后全无血色，双颊上淡淡搽了一层胭脂，果然大增娇艳。她歇了一歇，拿起梳子梳了梳头，叹道：“要梳髻子，我可不会，过儿你会不会呢？”杨过道：“我也不会！你不梳还更好看些。”小龙女微笑道：“是么？”便放下梳子，戴上耳环，插上珠钗，手腕上戴了一双玉镯，红烛掩映之下，当真美艳无双。她喜孜孜的回过头来，想要杨过称赞几句。 一回头，只见杨过泪流满面，悲不自胜。小龙女一咬牙，只作不见，微笑道：“你说我好不好看？”杨过哽咽道：“好看极了！我给你戴上凤冠！”拿起凤冠，走到她身后给她戴上。小龙女在镜中见他举袖擦干了泪水，再到身前时，脸上已作欢容，笑道：“我以后叫你娘子呢，还是仍然叫姑姑？”小龙女心想：“还说甚么'以后'啊？难道咱俩真的还有'以后'么？”但仍是强作喜色，微笑道：“再叫姑姑自然不好。娘子夫人的，又太老气啦！”杨过道：“你的小名儿到底叫甚么？今天可以说给我听了罢。”小龙女道：“我没小名儿的，师父只叫我作龙儿。”杨过说道：“好，以后你叫我过儿，我便叫你龙儿。咱俩扯个直，谁也不吃亏。等到将来生了孩儿，便叫：喂，孩子的爹！喂，孩子的妈！等到孩子大了，娶了媳妇儿……” 小龙女听着他这么胡扯，咬着牙齿不住微笑，终于忍耐不住，“哇”的一声，伏在箱子上哭了出来。杨过抢步上前，将她搂在怀里，柔声道：“龙儿，你不好，我也不好，咱们何必理会以后。今天你不会死的，我也不会死的。咱俩今儿欢欢喜喜的，谁也不许去想明天的事。”小龙女抬起头来，含泪微笑，点了点头。 杨过道：“你瞧这套衣裙上的凤凰绣得多美，我来帮你穿上！”扶着小龙女身子，将金丝绣的红袄红裙给她穿上。小龙女擦去了眼泪，补了些胭脂，笑盈盈的坐在红烛之旁。 这时郭襄睡在床头，睁大两只乌溜溜的小眼好奇地望着。在她小小的心中，似乎也觉小龙女打扮得真是好看。 小龙女道：“我打扮好啦，就可惜箱中没新郎的衣冠，你只好委屈一下了。”杨过道：“让我再找找，瞧有甚么俊雅物儿。”说着将箱中零星物事搬到床上。小龙女见他拿出一朵金花，便拿起来给他插在头发上。杨过笑道：“不错，这就有点像了。”翻到箱底，只有一叠信札，用一根大红丝带缚着，丝带已然褪色，信封也已转成深黄。 杨过拿了起来，道：“这里有些信。”小龙女道：“瞧瞧是甚么信。”杨过解开丝带，见封皮上写的是“专陈林朝英女史亲启”，左下角署的是一个“喆”字。底下二十余封，每封都是一样。杨过知道王重阳出家之前名叫“王喆”，笑道：“这是重阳祖师写给祖师婆婆的情书，咱们能看么？”小龙女自幼对祖师婆婆敬若神明，忙道：“不，不能看！” 杨过笑着又用丝带将一束信缚好，道：“孙老道姑他们古板得不得了，见咱俩在重阳祖师的遗像前拜堂成亲，便似大逆不道、亵渎神圣一般。我就不信重阳祖师当年对祖师婆婆没有情意。若是拿这束信让他们瞧瞧，那些牛鼻子老道的嘴脸才教有趣呢。”他一面说，一面望着小龙女，不禁为林朝英难过，心想：“祖师婆婆寂居古墓之中，想来曾不止一次的试穿嫁衣。咱俩可又比她幸运得多了。” 小龙女道：“不错，咱俩原比祖师婆婆幸运，你又何必不快活？” 杨过道：“是啊！”突然一怔，笑道：“我没说话，你竟猜到了我的心思。”小龙女抿嘴笑道：“若不知你的心思，怎配做你妻子？”杨过坐到床边，伸左臂轻轻搂住了她。两人心中都是说不出的欢喜，但愿此时此刻，永远不变。偎倚而坐，良久无语。 过了一会，两人都向那束信札一望，相视一笑，眼中都流露出顽皮的神色，明知不该私看先师的密札，但总是忍不住一番好奇之心。 杨过道：“咱们只看一封，好不好？决不多看。”小龙女微笑道：“我也是想看得紧呢，好，咱们只看一封。”杨过大喜，伸手拿起信札，解去丝带。小龙女道：“倘若信中的话教人难过伤心，你便不用念给我听。”杨过微微一顿，道：“是啊！”心想王林二人一番情意后来并无善果，只怕信中真是愁苦多而欢愉少，那便不如不看了。小龙女道：“不用先担心，说不定是很缠绵的话儿。” 杨过拿起第一封信，抽出一看，念道：“英妹如见：前日我师与鞑子于恶波冈交锋，中伏小败，折兵四百……”一路读下去，均是义军和金兵交战的军情。他连读几封，信中说的都是兵鼓金革之事，没一句涉及儿女私情。 杨过叹道：“这位重阳祖师固然是男儿汉大丈夫，一心只以军国为重，但寡情如此，无怪令祖师婆婆心冷了。”小龙女道：“不！祖师婆婆收到这些信时是很欢喜的。”杨过奇道：“你怎知道？”小龙女道：“我自然不知，只是将心比心来推测罢啦。你瞧每一封信中所述军情都是十分的艰难紧急，但重阳祖师在如此困厄之中，仍不忘给祖师婆婆写信，你说是不是心中对她念念不忘？”杨过点点头道：“不错，果真如此。”当下又拿起一封。 那信中所述，更是危急，王重阳所率义军因寡不敌众，连遭挫败，似乎再也难以支撑，信末询问林朝英的伤势，虽只寥寥数语，却是关切殊殷。杨过道：“嗯，当年祖师婆婆也受过伤，后来自然好了。你的伤势慢慢将养，便算须得将养一年半载，终究也会痊可。” 小龙女淡淡一笑，她自知这一次负伤非同寻常，若是这等重伤也能治愈，只怕天下竟有不死之人了，但说过今晚不提扫兴之事，纵然杨过不过空言相慰，也就当他是真，说道：“慢慢将养便是了，又急甚么？这些信中也无私秘，你就读完了罢！” 杨过又读一信，其中满是悲愤之语，说道义军兵败覆没，王重阳拚命杀出重围，但部属却伤亡殆尽，信末说要再招兵马，卷土重来。此后每封信说的都是如何失败受挫，金人如何在河北势力日固，王重阳显然已知事不可为，信中全是心灰失望之辞。 杨过说道：“这些信读了令人气沮，咱们还是说些别的罢！咦，甚么？”他语声突转兴奋，持着信笺的手微微发抖，念道：“'比闻极北苦寒之地，有石名曰寒玉，起沉疴，疗绝症，当为吾妹求之。'龙儿，你说，这……这不是寒玉床么？” 小龙女见他脸上斗现喜色，颤声道：“你……你说寒玉床能治我的伤？”杨过道：“我不知道，但重阳祖师如此说法，必有道理。你瞧，寒玉不是给他求来了么？祖师婆婆不是制成了床来睡么？她的重伤不是终于痊可了么？” 他匆匆将每封信都抽了出来，查看以寒玉疗伤之法，但除了那一封信之外，“寒玉”两字始终不再提到。杨过取过丝带将书信缚好，放回箱中，呆呆出神：“这寒玉床具此异征，必非无因，但不知如何方能治愈龙儿之伤？唉，但教我能知此法……但教我立时能知此法……” 小龙女笑道：“你呆头呆脑的想甚么？”杨过道：“我在想怎样用寒玉床给你治伤。不知是不是将寒玉研碎来服？还是要用其他药引？”他不知寒玉能够疗伤，那也罢了，此时颠三倒四的念着“起沉疴，愈绝症”六个字，却不知如何用法，当真是心如火焚。小龙女黯然道：“你记得孙婆婆么？她既服侍过祖师婆婆，又跟了我师父多年，她给那姓郝的道人打伤了，要是寒玉床能治伤，她临死时怎会不提？何况我师父，她……她也是受伤难愈而死的。”杨过本来满腔热望，听了这几句话，登时如有一盆冷水当头淋下。 小龙女伸手轻轻抚着他头发，柔声道：“过儿，你不用多想我身上的伤，又何必自寻烦恼？”杨过霎时间万念俱灰，过了一会，问道：“我师祖又是怎么受的伤？”他虽在古墓多年，却从未听小龙女说过她师父的死因。 小龙女道：“师父深居古墓，极少出外，有一年师姐在外面闯了祸，逃回终南山来，师父出墓接应，竟中了敌人的暗算。师父虽然吃了亏，还是把师姊接了回来，也就算了，不再去和那恶人计较。岂知那恶人得寸进尺，隔不多久，便在墓外叫嚷挑战，后来更强攻入墓，师父抵挡不住，险些便要放断龙石与他同归于尽，幸得在危急之际发动机关，又突然发出金针。那恶人猝不及防，为金针所伤，麻痒难当，师父乘势点了他的穴道，制得他动弹不得。岂知师姊竟偷偷解了他的穴道。那恶人突起发难，师父才中了他的毒手。” 杨过问道：“那恶人是谁？他武功既尚在师祖之上，必是当世高手。”小龙女道：“师父不跟我说。她叫我心中别有爱憎喜恶之念，说道倘若我知道了那恶人的姓名，心中念念不忘，说不定日后会去找他报仇。”杨过叹道：“嗯，师祖真是好人！”小龙女微微一笑，道：“师父今日若能见到我嫁了这样一个好女婿，可不知有多开心呢。”杨过微笑道：“那也未必！她是不许你动情嫁人的。”小龙女叹道：“我师父最是慈祥不过，纵然起初不许，到后来见我执意如此，也必顺我的意。她……她一定会挺欢喜你的。” 她怀念师恩，出神良久，又道：“师父受伤之后，搬了居室，反而和这寒玉床离得远远的。她说我古墓派的行功与寒气互相生克，因此以寒玉床补助练功固是再妙不过，受伤之后却受不得寒气。” 杨过“嗯”了一声，心中存想本门内功经脉的运行。玉女心经中所载内功，全仗一股纯阴之气打通关脉，体内至寒，身体外表便发热气，是以修习之时要敞开衣衫，使热气畅散，无半点窒滞，如受寒玉床的凉气一逼，自非受致命内伤不可。寻思：“何以重阳祖师却说寒玉能起沉疴、愈绝症？这中间相生相克的妙理，可参详不透了。”但见小龙女眼皮低垂，颇有倦意，说道：“你睡罢！我坐在这里陪着。” 小龙女忙睁大眼睛，道：“不，我不倦。今晚咱们不睡。”她深怕自己伤重，一睡之后便此长眠不醒，与杨过永远不能再见，说道：“你陪我说话儿。嗯，你倦不倦？”杨过摇摇头，微笑道：“你不想睡就别睡，合上眼养养神罢！”小龙女道：“好！”慢慢合上眼皮，低声道：“师父曾说，有一件事她至死也想不明白，过儿你这么聪明，你倒想想。”杨过道：“甚么事啊？”小龙女道：“师父点了那恶人的穴道，师姊不知却为甚么要去给那恶人解开穴道。”杨过想了一会，只觉小龙女靠在他身上，气息低微，已自睡去。 杨过怔怔的望着她脸，心中思潮起伏，过了一会，一枝蜡烛爆了一点火花，点到尽头，竟自熄了。他忽然想起在桃花岛小斋中见到的一副对联：“春蚕到死丝方尽，蜡炬成灰泪始干。”那是两句唐诗，黄药师思念亡妻，写了挂在她平时刺绣读书之处。杨过当时看了漫不在意，此刻身历是境，细细咀嚼此中情味，当真心为之碎，突然眼前一黑，另外一枝蜡烛也自熄灭。心想：“这两枝蜡烛便像是我和龙儿，一枝点到了尽头，另一枝跟着也就灭了。” 他出了一会神，只听得小龙女幽幽叹了一口长气，道：“我不要死，过儿……我不要死，咱两个要活很多很多年。”杨过道：“是啊，你不会死的，将养一些时候，便会好了。你现下胸口觉得怎样？”小龙女不答，她适才这几句话只是梦中呓语。 杨过伸手在她额头一摸，但觉热得烫手。他又是忧急，又是伤心，心道：“李莫愁作恶多端，这时好好的活着。龙儿一生从未做过害人之事，却何以要命不久长？老天啊老天，你难道真的不生眼睛么？” 他一生天不怕地不怕的独来独往，我行我素，但这时面临绝境，徬徨无计，轻轻将小龙女的身子往旁挪了一挪，跪倒在地，暗暗祷祝：“只要老天爷慈悲，保佑龙儿身子痊可，我宁愿……我宁愿……”为了赎小龙女一命，他又有甚么事不愿做呢？ 他正在虔诚祷祝，小龙女忽然说道：“是欧阳锋，孙婆婆说定是欧阳锋！……过儿，过儿，你到哪里去了？”突然惊呼，坐起身来。杨过急忙坐回床沿，握住她手，说道：“我在这儿。”小龙女睡梦间蓦地里觉得身上少了依靠，立即惊醒，发觉杨过原来便
