Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty
This period of peace and tranquility will not last long.Not long after Guo Xiang fell asleep, the sound of stepping on the snow came from far to the east, rising and falling quickly.Yang Guo stood up and looked out the east window.I saw two old men walking side by side in the snow, one fat and one thin, with ragged clothes, they looked like members of the beggar gang, they were coming to rest their feet when the wind was heavy and the snow was heavy.Yang Guo didn't want to see any people at this time, and he hated the martial arts figures even more, he turned his head and said, "There are people outside, you go to sleep on the bed inside and pretend to be sick." On the bed, a piece of wolf skin with many holes and holes was pulled over the bed to cover his body.
Yang Guo grabbed a handful of firewood ash, smeared on his face, head and neck, lowered the brim of his hat, and hid the black iron sword in the inner room, he heard the two approaching, and then knocked on the door.Yang Guo smeared the fat of deer meat on his clothes for a while, pretending to be a hunter, and then went to open the door.
The fat old beggar said: "It's really distressing to meet this heavy snow in the mountains. I would like to ask the officials to make it easier for the beggar to stay overnight." Yang Guo said: "Little Orion, what do you call an official? You can just rest here. Yes." The fat old beggar thanked him repeatedly.Yang Guo thought to himself that he had shown his talents at the hero meeting, so they would not have recognized him, so he tore off two roasted roe legs and gave them to them, saying, "It's time to do more work while riding the heavy snow. I will do it tomorrow morning." I have to set up a machine to catch foxes, I won't accompany you." The fat old beggar said: "Your official, please go ahead."
Yang Guo said in a rough voice: "Big sister, mother, is your cough better?" Xiaolongnv replied: "When the weather changes, my chest will feel tighter." He coughed loudly for a while, stretched out his hand and gently shook him awake Guo Xiang.The crying of the baby was interspersed with the coughing of the woman. The Orion of this family of three couldn't be more alike.
Yang Guo went into the inner room, closed the door with a slam, went to the bed and lay down beside Xiao Longnu, thinking: "This fat guy looks so familiar, he seems to have seen it somewhere before." But he couldn't remember at the moment.
The fat and thin beggars only thought that Yang Guo was really a poor hunter in the barren hills, they didn't care, they ate deer legs and started talking.The thin beggar said: "The fire on Zhongnan Mountain has burned through the sky, I think it has been succeeded." The fat beggar laughed and said: "The Mongolian army marched from east to west, fighting all over the world with invincible opponents. It's like trampling a nest of ants to death." The thin beggar said: "But Jinlun Fawang and the others returned after a big defeat a few days ago, that was embarrassing enough." The fat beggar smiled and said: "This is also very good, so that the fourth prince I know that to win China's splendid country, we must rely on the Chinese after all, and the warriors from Mongolia and the Western Regions alone will not succeed." The skinny beggar said: "Elder Peng, if the Nanpai Beggars can succeed this time, the Mongolian Emperor will seal you up. What kind of official?"
Hearing this, Yang Guo suddenly remembered that this fat old beggar had seen him at the Dashengguan Hero Meeting, but at that time he was dressed in fur and felt, wearing Mongolian attire, and whispered in Jinlun Fawang's ear from time to time. It was this person who offered advice, and thought: "It turns out that the two guys are traitors, so let's get rid of them as soon as possible, so as not to disturb here."
This fat old beggar is Elder Peng, one of the four elders of the Beggar Clan, who has long been surrendered to Mongolia.I just heard him laughing and said: "The big sweat promised to be the official of the 'General of Zhennan', but there is a saying that goes well: three years of begging, the emperor is lazy. We people in the gang of beggars, what kind of officials do we want to be?" He said That is to say, but the tone of voice is obviously full of enthusiasm and complacency.The thin beggar said: "Congratulations to you first, brother." Elder Peng smiled and said: "You have made a lot of contributions in the past few years, and of course you will be indispensable in the future."
The thin beggar said: "I don't want to be an official. It's just that you promised the Dafa of Conjuring Souls. When will it be passed on to me?" Elder Peng said: "When the Nanpai Beggars' Guild is formally established, once I become the leader of the sect, we will If both of you are free, I will pass it on to you." The skinny beggar said: "You have become the leader of the Nanpai Beggars' Gang, and you have also been appointed as the official of the Great Mongolian Township General Nan, but you are getting busier and busier. What time do you have?" Elder Peng laughed and said, "Brother, don't you trust me as an elder brother?" The skinny beggar stopped talking and snorted, showing that he didn't believe it.Yang Guo thought to himself: "There is only one beggar gang in the world, and it doesn't distinguish between north and south. If he wants to set up a southern beggar gang, he must be helping the Mongols to make troubles."
Only to hear the thin beggar say again: "Elder Peng, what you promised will be given sooner or later. You always put off excuses to make people feel discouraged." Elder Peng said indifferently: "Then what will you do?" The thin beggar Said: "What dare I do? It's just that I have low martial arts skills, I am timid, and I don't have any special skills, but I follow you to do this kind of trick to deceive the brothers. In the future, the leaders of Huang and Lu will pursue it. I will be scared when I think about it." I'm shaking all over, so it's better to wash my hands early and quit." Yang Guo thought to himself: "The skinny old man is dying, how dare you say such a thing? Since Elder Peng has great ambitions, he is naturally ruthless. You are really serious. Treacherous and foolish." Elder Peng laughed, and said: "Discuss this matter slowly, don't worry about it." The skinny beggar was silent, and after a while, he said: "A little deer leg can't eat enough. Go hunt some more game." He took off the bow and arrow from the wall, pushed the door and went out.
Yang Guo looked through the cracks in the wall, and saw that as soon as the skinny beggar went out, Elder Peng jumped up, drew out his dagger, and hid behind the door, he heard his footsteps going west, followed him and went out quietly.Yang Guo smiled at Xiao Longnu and said: "These two traitors want to kill each other, it saves me a lot of hands and feet. The fat guy is much stronger, and the skinny one is definitely not his match." Xiao Longnu said: "It's better Don't bother to come back, this wooden house is quiet and quiet, don't be disturbed by anyone." Yang Guo said: "Yes." Suddenly lowered his voice and said: "There are footsteps." Only someone from Xishou went around the back of the house along the mountainside .
Yang Guo smiled slightly, said: "The skinny old man came back and wanted to sneak attack." He pushed the window and jumped out lightly.Sure enough, he saw the thin beggar looking around in the crack of the wall with his short body.He didn't see Elder Peng, and he seemed to be unable to make up his mind for a while.Yang Guo walked behind him and laughed "hee".
The thin beggar was caught by surprise, turned his head hastily, only thought that Elder Peng had come behind him, his face was full of fear.Yang Guo smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." He stretched out his hands and touched three acupuncture points on his chest, under his side and on his legs, and lifted him to the door, looking at the white snow, his childlike innocence suddenly arose, and he shouted: " Long Er, come and help me build a snowman." He picked up the snow from the ground and piled it on the skinny beggar.Xiao Longnu came out from the house to help, the two laughed and laughed, and in a short while, the skinny beggar's body was covered with white snow.Except for a pair of eyeballs that can still move, this thin beggar has become a fat and bloated snowman.
Yang Guo laughed and said, "This skinny old man became fat and white in an instant." Xiao Longnv laughed and said, "That old man who was originally fat and white, how could you change him into a fat man?" Change?" Before Yang Guo could answer, he heard footsteps in the distance, and said in a low voice, "The fat old man is back, let's hide." The two went back into the house and closed the door behind them.Xiao Longnv shook Guo Xiang, making her cry, but she kept comforting and coaxing: "Be good, be good, don't cry." She never cheated in her life, she never thought about such eccentric activities, but seeing that Yang Guo liked it, Just play around with him.
All the way back, Elder Peng inspected the footprints in the snow. He saw the skinny old beggar's footprints going back and forth, obviously he was lying in ambush near the wooden house.He followed the footprints to the back of the wooden house, and then turned to the front of the house.Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv looked out from the cracks in the boards, but they saw him peeking in from the window with his right hand holding the saber tightly, fully on guard.
The skinny old beggar's body was cold to the bone, seeing Elder Peng standing in front of him, he didn't even notice it, as long as he stretched out his hand and swung it down, he could hit his vitals, suffering from three vital points on his body, he couldn't move a bit.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Elder Peng was very surprised, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, he was wondering where the beggar had gone, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar.Elder Peng twitched his muscles and shrank behind the door, waiting for the beggar to come back.
Both Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv felt strange, the skinny beggar had become a snowman, why did someone come again?Just after pondering, there are two people who have heard it, and it turns out that another stranger has arrived.Elder Peng's ear was far weaker, and he didn't realize it until the two of them approached.
Only one person outside the house said: "Amitabha, the poor monk encountered snow in the mountains, and asked the almsgiver for a night." Elder Peng turned around and came out, and saw two old monks standing in the snow, one with white eyebrows drooping, with a kind expression on his face, and the other They are much shorter in stature, with a gray beard and wearing black clothes. Although it is the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the clothes of both of them are very thin.
While Elder Peng was startled, Yang Guo had come out of the house, and said: "Two great monks, come in, who will lead the house to walk?" At this moment, Elder Peng suddenly saw the snowman that the skinny beggar turned into , under inspection, immediately recognized him, seeing him become so weird, I was very surprised, when I looked at Yang Guo in a blink of an eye, I saw that his expression was normal, as if he didn't know it at all.
Yang Guo greeted the two old monks and came in, thinking: "Look at these two old monks, they are not ordinary people, especially the black-clothed monk has a fierce appearance and strange light in his eyes, I'm afraid he's the same as this Elder Peng." He said: " Great monk, we live here, we poor people in the mountains have no bed for you to sleep in, do you two eat wild game?" The white-browed monk clasped his hands together and said, "It's a sin, a sin. We have dry food, and we dare not bother the benefactor." Yang Guo said: "This is the best." Going back into the inner room, he whispered in Xiaolongnv's ear: "The two old monks seem to be very strong masters." There are so many wicked people, even in this deep mountain, people can't be quiet."
Yang Guo looked down through the cracks in the wall, and saw the white-browed monk took out four balls of fried noodles from his rucksack, handed them two balls to the black-clothed monk, and slowly chewed the other two balls.Yang Guo thought to himself: "This old monk with white eyebrows has a kind expression and a peaceful demeanor. He really looks like an eminent monk, but there are many kind and evil people in the world. Isn't this Elder Peng smiling and very kind? The black-clothed monk Why is his eyes so vicious?"
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard two clangs, and the black-clothed monk took out two black cast iron objects from his bosom.Elder Peng was originally sitting on the stool, but he immediately jumped up and put his hand on the handle of the knife.The black-clothed monk ignored him, clicked twice, and clasped a black object on his feet. It turned out to be a pair of iron cuffs, and the other pair of iron cuffs clasped his hands.Both Yang Guo and Elder Peng were very surprised, they couldn't figure out the reason why he handcuffed himself, but in this way, they were less wary of him.
The white-browed monk had a concerned look on his face, and said in a low voice: "Are you going to have another attack?" The black-clothed monk said: "I always feel that something is wrong along the way, I'm afraid it's going to happen again." Suddenly he fell to his knees, Putting his hands together, he said: "I beg the Buddha to be merciful." After he said that, he bowed his head and shrank his body, kneeling motionless. It was like a bull roaring, even the wooden walls of the wooden house were shaken by the roar, and white snow fell from the eaves.Elder Peng was so startled that his heart was thumping, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv also looked at each other in astonishment, they didn't know what this monk was doing, from the roar, it seemed that he was experiencing great pain.Yang Guo was originally quite hostile towards him, but now he couldn't help feeling compassionate, thinking to himself: "I don't know what strange disease he has, why did the white-browed monk ignore it?"
After a while, the black-clothed monk's roar became more urgent, as if he was out of breath.The white-browed monk said slowly: "Do what you shouldn't do, and don't do what you should do. Burned by regret and anger, enlightenment begins..." These few verses were said softly, even though the black-clothed monk yelled at the bull. In the general panting, people can still hear clearly.Yang Guo was taken aback: "This old monk's internal energy is so profound, I don't know anyone in the world who can match it?" He only heard the white-browed monk continue to read the verse: "If a person can regret his sins, he will never worry about it. Think about it. Don’t regret it with your heart, you can do it if you don’t do it, and you have already done all the evil things, so you can’t stop doing them.”
After he finished reciting the gatha, the black-clothed monk gasped for breath, pondered blankly, and said in a low voice: "If people can regret their sins, they will never regret their sins...Master, I know all the things in the past are sins and troubles. I hate it, but I can't help myself. My disciples just think, "All evil things have been done, and I can't stop doing them." I can't feel at ease all the time, what should I do?" The white-browed monk said: "It is rare to be able to repent after committing a crime. People are not sages and sages. , Who can be without faults? Knowing the faults can make amends, and there is nothing good about it.”
When Yang Guo heard this, he suddenly remembered: "Uncle Guo named me the word 'Guo', which means 'Change It', which means 'If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and you can do good things'. Could it be that this old monk is a holy monk? , are you here to enlighten me today?"
The black-clothed monk said: "The root of my evil is hard to get rid of. Ten years ago, I have been converted to my master for a long time, and I still injured three people. Today, the blood in my body is boiling like a boil. I can't control it. I'm afraid I will commit a serious crime again. I beg you My master is merciful, cut off my disciple's hands." The white-browed monk said: "That's so good! I can cut off your hands for you, but you have to get rid of the evil thoughts in your heart. If you don't get rid of the evil thoughts, your hands and feet will be cut off. How can you benefit?" The black-clothed monk's bones were rattling, and he burst into tears, saying: "Master's teachings, disciples can't get rid of evil thoughts."
The white-browed monk sighed and said, "Your heart is full of hatred. Although you know that you have done wrong in the past, it is only because of lack of benevolence that your evil thoughts are hard to get rid of. Let me tell you a story about 'The Buddha Said the Deer Mother Sutra'." The black-clothed monk said: "Disciple listens respectfully." He said and sat cross-legged.Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu were separated by a wooden wall and listened quietly.
The white-browed monk said: "Once upon a time, there was a doe who gave birth to two fawns. The doe was accidentally caught by the hunter, and the hunter wanted to kill it. The doe kowtowed and begged, saying: 'I gave birth to two sons. Water plants. When begging for fake film, let me tell the child how to find food, and he will die when he comes back.' The hunter forbids it. "Finding the two sons, the doe bowed her head, groaned, licked the body of the son, and said to the two sons with joy and sorrow in her heart: "All love and reunion are due to karma, reunion and parting, impermanence is rare for a long time. Now I am your mother, forever Fear of self-defense, fear of life and death, and life in the morning dew." The two deer were young and didn't know what it meant. So the doe took the two sons, pointed out the beautiful aquatic plants, exchanged tears, and said: "I will never meet in the future, and I will fall into the hunter by mistake. Hand; it should be slaughtered, and the body will be broken into pieces. I prayed for you, and I will die now; pity you for being lonely, and try to live yourself.'” When Xiao Longnv heard this, she thought of her short life, and thought of the words "Life and death are so fearful, life is at stake in the morning dew", "I pity you for being lonely, and try to live yourself", and couldn't help but shed tears .Yang Guo knew that what the white-browed monk was talking about was just a Buddhist fable, but he was deeply moved by the sad and sincere relationship between mother and child described in it. Only the white-browed monk continued to preach: "After the doe finished speaking, she parted from the fawn. The two sons wailed, wept and loved, and followed closely. Although the young one couldn't run fast, he still fell down and got up again, refusing to leave his mother. The doe stopped and turned around and said, "Son! You must not follow. If a hunter sees you, mother and child will die together. I am willing to die, but I pity you for your immaturity. The world is impermanent, and there is separation. I am self-deprecating, You have lost your mother since you were young.' After saying that, he ran to the hunter. The two little deer were eager to pursue them, defying the hunter's bow and arrow. "The hunter saw that the female deer believed in the righteousness of death, gave up her life to keep her oath, and was steadfast and loyal, which was beyond the reach of others. He also saw that the mother and child of the three deer were inseparable, and felt sorry for the wound, so they let the deer not kill. The three deer were sad and happy, singing Hey, thanks to the hunter. The hunter reported the matter to the king, and the whole country admired it, so that the evil deeds of killing and hunting will be stopped."
Hearing this story, the black-clothed monk burst into tears, and said: "This deer believes in righteousness, and his mother is kind and filial to his son, which is beyond the reach of my disciples." The white-browed monk said: "With compassion, killing karma will disappear. "As he spoke, he glanced at Elder Peng beside him, as if he also wanted to enlighten him.The black-clothed monk replied: "Yes!" The white-browed monk said: "If you want to make amends, you have to do good. Instead of regretting what you should not have done in the past, it is better to do more in the future." He sighed slightly and said: " It's me, I have done many wrong things in my life." He closed his eyes and meditated. The black-clothed monk seemed to realize something, but he was restless and couldn't restrain himself. When he raised his head, he saw Elder Peng staring at him with a smile, his eyes seemed to be shining.The black-clothed monk was stunned, thinking that he had met this person somewhere before, and felt that he was looking at him very uncomfortable, so he turned his head to avoid it, but after a while, he couldn't help but look at him again.Elder Peng smiled and said, "It's snowing a lot, isn't it?" The black-clothed monk said, "Yes, it's snowing a lot." Elder Peng said, "Come on, let's go and see the snow scene." board door.The black-clothed monk said: "Okay, let's go and see the snow scene." Standing up, he stood shoulder to shoulder with him at the door.Even though Yang Guo was separated by the wooden wall, he still felt that Elder Peng's eyes were very strange, and he felt a faint sense of ominousness in his heart. Elder Peng said: "Your master said well that killing people is absolutely unavoidable, but you are full of energy, if you don't fight with others, you will feel very sad, isn't it?" The black-clothed monk replied in a daze "Yes!" Elder Peng said: "You might as well slap the snowman, strike it, there is no crime." The monk in black looked at the snowman, raised his arms, eager to try.At this time, half an hour had passed since the arrival of the two monks, another layer of snow had piled up on the skinny beggar's body, covering even his eyes.Elder Peng said: "Shoot your palms together, hit this snowman, hit it! Hit it! Hit it!" His voice was soft and full of persuasion.The black-clothed monk put his strength into his arms and said, "Okay, I'll fight!" The white-browed monk raised his head, heaved a long sigh, and said in a low voice: "As soon as the murderous intention arises, the karma arises." But there was a bang, the monk in black stretched out both palms, and the snow flew.The palm on the thin beggar's body loosened the acupoints, he let out a loud "Ah", the voice was horrific and spread far away.Xiao Longnv whispered softly, reached out and grabbed Yang Guo's palm. The black-clothed monk was taken aback, and shouted: "There is someone in the snow!" The white-browed monk rushed out and leaned over to check.The thin beggar fell into the powerful iron palm of the monk in black and died long ago.The black-clothed monk did not guard the house, but stayed there. Elder Peng pretended to be surprised, and said: "This man is really strange, what are you doing hiding in the snow? Hey, why is he still holding a knife in his hand?" He instigated the black-clothed monk to kill the skinny beggar with the "soul-absorbing method", and his heart He was proud of himself, but he couldn't help being surprised: "This guy actually has such endurance, hiding in the snow without moving. Could it be that Bai Xueser didn't hear me calling someone to strike?" The monk in black just called: "Master!" and stared blankly.The white-browed monk said: "Injustice, injustice. You didn't kill this person, but you did." The black-clothed monk crouched in the snow and said in a trembling voice, "I don't understand." The white-browed monk said: "You just He said that this is a snowman, so he had no intention of hurting anyone. But your palm is so powerful that when you strike, don't you have the intention to kill?" The black-clothed monk said: "I do have the intention to kill." The white-browed monk stared at Elder Peng for a while, his eyes were very soft and full of compassion, and with just one look, Elder Peng's "Spiritual Immortality" disappeared without a trace.The black-clothed monk suddenly called out: "You...you are the elder of the beggar gang, I remember!" The smiling expression on Elder Peng's face disappeared in an instant, and his brows were filled with surly looks, and he said: "You It's Chief Qiu of the Iron Palm Gang, why did he become a monk?"
This black-clothed monk is Qiu Qianren, the leader of the Iron Palm Clan.On that day at the top of Huashan Mountain, he had an epiphany and became a monk under the seat of Master Yideng.This old monk with white eyebrows is Master Yideng who is as famous as Wang Chongyang, Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng, and Hong Qigong.After Qiu Qianren was shaved, he was named Mercy, sincerely converted to Buddhism, and worked hard to cultivate. However, he had done too many evils in the past, and the evil roots in his heart were hard to get rid of. When encountering strong external temptations, he would inevitably hurt others, so he forged two pairs of iron cuffs , Whenever I feel agitated in my heart, I handcuff my hands and feet to stop evil deeds.On this day, Master Yideng received a letter from his disciple Zhu Ziliu asking for help at the hermitage on Huguang South Road, so he took Ci'en to the Valley of Unrequited Love.Unexpectedly, when meeting Elder Peng in this deep mountain, Ci'en accidentally killed one person. Since Ci'en became a monk, although she has violated the precepts in more than ten years, it is the first time that she has killed a human being. She was at a loss for a while, and felt that her cultivation in the past ten years had been wiped out in an instant.He stared at Elder Peng fiercely, his eyes seemed to burst into flames. Master Yideng knew that this was a critical moment, if he used martial arts to forcibly restrain him from doing anything, the evil thoughts in his heart would accumulate more and more, and one day the embankment would burst and he would be out of control. Only when it is eliminated can one enter the realm of proving the Tao.Standing beside Ci'en, he recited softly: "Amitabha, Amitabha!" After reciting seventy or eighty times, Ci'en's eyes left Elder Peng, went back into the wooden house and sat down, panting again. Elder Peng knew that Qiu Qianren was excellent in martial arts, but he didn't recognize Master Yideng, but he saw that he was a dying monk with white eyebrows like snow, so he didn't care about him, he thought that he could do whatever he wanted as long as he restrained Qiu Qianren with the "Soul-storing Dafa" Who would have thought that Yideng's eyes would cast a heavy weight on his heart, and he would no longer be able to cast spells. This time, he would be terrified and lose his mind. If he ran away, Qiu Qianren, who is known as "floating on the water with the iron palm" , the lightness kung fu is extraordinary, the footprints in the snow are clear, there is no way to escape, I only hope that he will listen to the old monk with white eyebrows to persuade others to be kind, and not come to embarrass himself.He shrank in the corner of the room, feeling uneasy in his heart.Ci'en's panting became faster and faster, and his heart beat faster and faster. Yang Guo heard Yideng tell the story of Sanlu, he remembered that all living beings are happy to live and hate death, even though the skinny beggar behaved evil and deserved to die, but he suddenly suffered a tragic accident, but he was quite shocked, he also saw the strength of Ci'en's palm It was unusual, thinking to himself, who is this monk who has such high-strength martial arts? But Ci'en gasped and said loudly: "Master, I was born a wicked person, and God does not allow me to repent. Although I didn't intend to kill people, I will inevitably hurt people's lives. I will not be a monk anymore!" Yideng said: "Sin, sin ! Let me tell you another piece of Buddhist scriptures." Ci'en said in a rough voice: "What Buddhist scriptures do you still listen to? You lied to me for more than ten years, and I don't believe it anymore." The chains were broken one after another.Yideng said softly: "Ci'en, don't worry about it, don't worry about it." Ci'en stood up, shook her head at Yideng, turned around suddenly, and pushed out her palms at Elder Peng's chest, with a loud bang, Elder Peng crashed through the board wall and flew out.Under the swing of this iron palm, tendons and bones were broken, and ten lives would not survive. Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv were startled when they heard the loud noise, they came out of the inner room hand in hand, and saw Ci'en raised his arms high, his eyes showed a fierce look, and shouted: "What are you looking at? If you don't do anything today, you won't stop, Lao Tzu It's time to start a killing spree." Speaking of mobilizing strength in his arms, he wanted to use the Iron Palm Kung Fu to slap out. Master Yideng walked to the door, stood in front of Yang and Long, sat cross-legged on the ground, uttered the Buddha's name, and said: "The lost road is not far away, but we can still return. Mercy, Mercy, are you really going to sink into a state of no return? "Ci'en's face was blue and red for a while, and her heart was extremely chaotic, with good thoughts and evil thoughts constantly fighting.This day when he was walking in the snow field, his chest was already extremely agitated, he was disturbed by the "Soul-hunting Dafa" and killed two people in a row, he couldn't control himself anymore.It can be seen in the eyes that Master Yideng is a mentor who helps him at one time, but at the other time becomes a big enemy who is against him. After standing still for a moment, the evil thoughts in his heart became more and more intense, and with a sudden cry, he struck out at Master Yideng with his palm.Yideng raised his hand and stood on his chest, his body swayed slightly, blocking the palm.Ci'en said angrily: "You are going to make trouble with me!" Another palm with his left hand, Master Yideng stretched out his hand to parry, but still did not return the blow.Ci'en shouted: "Why are you hypocritical? Fight back quickly, if you don't fight back, you will kill yourself in vain, don't blame me!" Although he was confused, he said these few words well. His Iron Palm Kungfu and Master Yideng's Yiyang Finger are both good at winning games. They were equally famous in the martial arts back then.Yideng's Buddhist practice is more than enough to be his master. When it comes to martial arts, if he uses his yang finger to move around with all his strength, he may be able to win half a move, but his palm skills are not as good. For a long time, even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured.But Yideng is brave enough to sacrifice his life to save others, he would rather suffer the disaster of being hit by an iron palm than fight back, only hoping that he will finally repent.This is not a contest of martial arts internal strength, but a battle between good thoughts and evil thoughts. Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu saw Ci'en's iron palm slashing towards Yideng like an axe, when they hit the fourteenth palm, Yideng made a "wow", and a mouthful of blood spurted out.Ci'en was startled, and shouted: "Aren't you fighting back?" Yideng said softly, "Why should I fight back? What's the use of me defeating you? What's the use of you defeating me? You must overcome yourself and restrain yourself!" Ci'en was taken aback, and murmured: "You must overcome yourself, restrain yourself!" Master Yideng's words hit Yang Guo's heart like a thunderstorm, and he thought to himself: "To overcome one's own willfulness, to restrain one's delusions, it is indeed much more difficult than to defeat a powerful enemy. The words of this eminent monk are really wise words " But seeing Ci'en's palms staying in the air for a while, finally slapping them out again with a whoosh.Yideng's body swayed, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, completely staining his white beard and monk's robe. Yang Guo saw his technique and endurance, he knew his kung fu is definitely not inferior to the black monk, but if he is beaten like this, even his body of iron and stone will be ruined eventually.At this time, he already had great admiration for Yideng, knowing that he would give up his life to enlighten the wicked, but he must not let him die like this, thinking that with his single palm, he couldn't block the black-clothed monk's iron palm, so he turned around and raised the black iron weight The sword circled around Yideng's side, and when Ci'en waved his palm again, he stabbed straight with the sword. The black iron sword stirred up a strong wind, and when it collided with Ci'en's palm, both of them shook slightly. Ci'en let out a "Huh", never expecting that a young hunter in the barren hills would have such powerful martial arts.Master Yideng glanced at Yang Guo, also very surprised.Ci'en sternly shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing?" Yang Guo said: "The respected teacher is good at persuading me, why is the master so obsessed with obsession? It is wrong not to listen to Jin Shi's good words, but to repay kindness with resentment, and to attack the respected teacher fiercely. Such a man Are you not as good as a beast?" Ci'en was furious, and shouted: "Are you also from the beggar gang? Are you on the same side as that sneaky elder?" Yang Guo laughed and said, "These two are scum of the beggar gang. Doing good, why should you regret yourself?" Ci'en was startled, and said to herself: "Eliminating evil is doing good...Eliminating evil is doing good..." Yang Guo listened to the conversation between his master and his disciples through the wooden wall, and he vaguely understood what was on his mind, knowing that his remorse gave birth to hatred and evil thoughts, he said again: "Those two are traitors from the beggar gang, they intend to lure wolves into the house and kill me, a big man. Betrayed by a foreign race. The master killed these two people, it is really a great merit. These two people survived, and I don’t know how many good men and women’s families were destroyed. Although my Buddha is merciful, when encountering evil spirits and heretics, don’t you have to show your magical powers to drive them out? " Yang Guo's knowledge of Buddhism is nothing more than this, it's really superficial, but Ci'en is very pleasant to his ears.He slowly lowered his palm, and in a flash, he suddenly remembered that he had also been awarded the title of a great gold in the past, and he had also helped foreigners invade the Song Dynasty. Yang Guo's words were nothing more than a denunciation of his faults, and he suddenly raised his palm to him Cut it off, and shouted: "Little beast, what are you talking about?" This palm was fast and cruel, Yang Guo only said that he had moved him with words, but he would suddenly attack, the wind of the palm hit his chest in an instant, he couldn't use his strength to resist in the crisis, he simply jumped back following the force of his palm, With two bangs, bangs and clicks, a big hole was broken in the wooden house, and Yang Guo flew out of the house.Master Yideng was taken aback, and thought to himself: "Could it be that this young man lost his life like this? Looks like he has good martial arts! Sigh, why didn't I save his life in time?" He was very annoyed. Suddenly the firewood in the inner room went dark, a gust of wind blew in from the hole in the wall, Yang Guo followed the wind, stabbed at Ci'en with his sword, and shouted: "Okay, you and I will fight today." Shake his sword away with palm force.But Yang Guo's swordsmanship is really Dugu's unique skill, although the age is far away, he can't be taught by this senior personally, but Flood practiced the sword, the snake's gallbladder strengthened, and with the help of the divine sculpture, the swordsmanship Yang Guo learned It's like the sword demon who was invincible in the world back then.Ci'en struck out with a palm, Yang Guo's sword edge was only a few inches away, the tip of the sword was still pointing at his left arm.Ci'en was terrified, she dodged to the right quickly, only to avoid the sword, and immediately struck back with her palm.The two exercised their own magical powers, fighting fiercely with their swords and palms. The more Yideng looked at it, the more strange he became, thinking that this young man was only in his twenties, yet he was able to draw even with Qiu Tiezhang, a first-rate contemporary master. He had seen a lot, but he couldn't recognize who his martial arts was. It is amazing that the sword is so heavy.Turning around, I saw Xiao Longnv holding the baby in her arms, standing by the door, with a beautiful face and a leisurely expression, she was not alarmed by the fierce fight between the two, she thought to herself: "This girl is not an ordinary person." There was a faint layer of black air, and she couldn't help shouting: "Ah!" Xiao Longnv smiled back, and said in her heart: "You can see it." At this time, the two fought fiercely with one sword and two palms, Yang Guo took advantage of the weapon, but Ci'en got an extra arm, it can be said that it was straight.There was only a bang, and a piece of wood flew off, followed by a rattling sound, and another pillar broke. The wooden house is small and not strong enough to hold a fight between two masters.The blades and palms were blowing everywhere, and the wooden planks were flying in all directions. Finally, with a loud rattling sound, the wooden pillars snapped and the roof collapsed.Xiao Longnv picked up Guo Xiang and flew out of the window, with a lamp behind her to protect her, she brushed away a few broken pieces of wood with her sleeves. The north wind was blowing, the snow kept falling, and the two fought endlessly.Ci'en has never fought so fiercely with anyone in more than ten years, the fight was vigorous, the iron palm flew up amidst the roar, and could be removed from more than a hundred moves, but he felt that the strength of the opponent's sword could not be increased, he was getting old, and gradually moved Can't stand it.Yang Guo straightened his sword and stabbed at his chest, seeing him slanting to dodge, he immediately swept his iron sword across, the wind whipped up the white snow, and rushed towards him.Ci'en's eyes were covered with snow, and she hurriedly stretched out her hands to wipe it off, suddenly felt the black iron sword on her right shoulder, suddenly felt as if a thousand weights were placed on her body, she couldn't stand anymore, turned over and fell down.Yang Guo's sword pointed straight at his chest, although the sword was not sharp, it was very powerful, it only pressed his ribs inwards sharply, he could only exhale, he could not inhale half a breath. At this moment, the word "death" flashed across Ci'en's heart like lightning.Since he practiced the superb martial arts, he traveled all over the rivers and lakes. He was the only one who went to kill and hurt others. He rarely encountered setbacks. He was defeated by Zhou Botong and fled all the way to the Western Regions. It is so close, but it has never been encountered in my life. When I think of "death", I can't help but feel great regret, but I feel that this life will end from now on, and there are all kinds of evils that cannot be redeemed.Master Yideng can't be enlightened by a thousand words, but Yang Guo's sword immediately made him think: "It's so miserable to kill someone, but if I used to kill people, the victim is just as miserable." Master Yideng saw that Yang Guo subdued Ci'en, he thought: "Such a young hero is really rare." He stepped forward, stretched out his finger and lightly touched the blade of the sword, Yang Guo felt his left arm heat up, and the black iron sword immediately swung away. . Ci'en straightened up and stood up, followed by throwing herself on the ground, shouting: "Master, this disciple deserves ten thousand deaths, this disciple deserves ten thousand deaths!" Yideng smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke his back, and said, "To be greatly enlightened, it is not Yi Yi. Haven't thanked this little layman for his teaching?" Yang Guo originally suspected that the old monk was Master Yideng, so he swiped the blade of the sword with his finger, thinking that this yang finger kung fu is really similar to Huang Island Master's supernatural power of flicking fingers, there is no third person's finger strength in the world Being able to keep pace with him, he immediately bowed down and said: "Disciple Yang Guo sees the master." Seeing Ci'en knelt down to him, he hurriedly returned the salute, saying: "Senior, if you do such a great gift, you will break the villain. I have offended you so much." Pointing to Xiaolongnv, she said: "This is the disciple Longshi. Come and kowtow to the master." Xiaolongnv hugged Guo Xiang and saluted. Ci'en said: "The disciple just lost his mind and went crazy. Is the master's injury serious?" Yideng smiled lightly and asked, "Are you feeling better?" Ci'en felt very guilty and didn't know what to say.
Four people sat on top of a collapsed wooden pillar.Yang Guo briefly described how he got to know Wu Santong, Zhu Ziliu and Diancang Yuyin. He also talked about how he was poisoned in the Valley of Unrequited Love, and how the Tianzhu monk and Zhu Ziliu went to find the medicine for themselves and were trapped.Yideng said: "That's why my master and apprentice went to the Valley of Unrequited Love. Do you know the relationship between this monk of Mercy and the female valley owner of the Valley of Unrequited Love?" Yang Guo heard Elder Peng say "Chief Qiu of the Iron Palm Clan", and said, "Master Ci'en's layman's surname is Qiu, is he the leader of the Iron Palm Clan?" The female valley owner is Lingmei." Ci'en said: "That's right, how is my sister?" Yang Guo couldn't answer, Qiu Qianchi's limbs were amputated by her husband, and she became a cripple, so she really can't say "good".Seeing his hesitation, Ci'en said: "My sister is violent and willful, if she is punished, it will not be surprising." Yang Guo said: "Your sister has disabled hands and feet, but her body is quite healthy." Ci'en sighed In a low voice, he said: "After so many years, everyone is getting old... Well, she has always been able to talk to her second brother..." At this point, she was in a daze, reminiscing about the past. Master Yideng knew that his karma had not been broken, so he repented just now, only because the evil thoughts suddenly disappeared at the critical moment of life and death. In fact, the root of evil in his heart has not been eliminated. It will take a long time, and then come to maintain the probation, everything depends on the law. 杨过见一灯瞧着慈恩的眼光中流露出怜悯之情，忽想：“一灯大师武功决不在他弟子之下，始终不肯还手，定有深意。我这出手，只怕反而坏了事。”忙道：“大师，弟子愚不解事，适才轻举妄动，是否错了，请大师指点。” 一灯道：“人心难知，他便是将我打死了，也未必便此能大彻大悟，说不定陷溺更深。你救我一命，又令他迷途知返，怎会是错？老衲深感盛德。”转头望着小龙女，问道：“小娘子如何毒入内腑？”杨过听他一问，似在沉沉黑暗之中突然见到一点光亮，忙道：“她受伤之后正在打通关脉治疗，岂知恰在那时中了喂有剧毒的暗器。大师可能慈悲救她一命？”说着不由自主的双膝跪地。 一灯伸手扶起，问道：“她如何打通关脉？内息怎生运转？”杨过道：“她逆运经脉，又有寒玉床及弟子在旁相助。”一灯听了他的解释，不由得啧啧称奇，道：“那位欧阳兄当真是天下奇人，开创逆运经脉之法，实是匪夷所思，从此武学中另辟了一道蹊径。”伸指搭了小龙女双手腕脉，脸现忧色，半晌不语。 杨过怔怔的瞧着他，只盼他能说出“有救”两个字来。小龙女的眼光却始终望着杨过，她早便没想到能活至今日，见杨过脸色沉重，只为自己担忧，缓缓的道：“生死有命，岂能强求？过儿，忧能伤人，你别太过关怀了。” 一灯自进木屋以来，第一次听到小龙女说话，听她这几句话语音温柔，而且心情平和，达观知命，不禁一怔。他不知小龙女自幼便受师父教诲，灵台明净，少受物羁，本想这姑娘小小年纪，中毒难治，定然忧急万状，哪知说出话来竟是功行深厚的修道人口吻。心想：“这一对少年夫妇实是人间龙凤，男的武功如此了得，女的修悟生死，更是不易。我生平所遇，只有郭靖、黄蓉夫妇，方能和他们比肩，我那些弟子无一能及。唉，只是她中毒既深，我受伤后又使不出一阳指神功。”微一沉吟，说道：“两位年纪轻轻，修为却着实不凡，老衲不妨直言……”杨过听到这里，一颗心不由得沉了下去，双手冰冷。 只听一灯续道：“小夫人剧毒透入重关，老衲倘若身未受伤，可用一阳指功夫助她体内毒质暂不发作，然后寻觅灵药解毒。如今嘛……好在小夫人幼功所积颇厚，老衲这里有药一颗，服后保得七日平安。咱们到绝情谷去找到我师弟……”杨过拍腿站起，叫道：“啊，不错，这位天竺神僧治毒的本事出神入化，必有法子解毒。” 一灯道：“倘若我师弟也不能救，那是大数使然。世上有的孩子生下来没多久便死了，小夫人嫁人之后方始不治，也不为夭。”说到这里，想起当年周伯通和刘贵妃所生的那个孩子，只因自己由妒生恨，坚不肯为其治伤，终于丧命；而那个孩子，却是慈恩打伤的。 杨过睁大了眼睛望着一灯，心想：“龙儿能否治愈，尚在未定之天，你却不说一句安慰的言语。”小龙女淡淡一笑，道：“大师说得很是。”眼望身周大雪，淡淡的道：“这些雪花落下来，多么白，多么好看。过几天太阳出来，每一片雪花都变得无影无踪。到得明年冬天，又有许许多多雪花，只不过已不是今年这些雪花罢了。” 一灯点了点头，转头望着慈恩，道：“你懂么？”慈恩点了点头，心想日出雪消，冬天下雪，这些粗浅的道理有甚么不懂？ 杨过和小龙女本来心心相印，对方即是最隐晦的心意相互也均洞悉，但此刻她和一灯对答，自己却是隔了一层。似乎她和一灯相互知心，自己反而成了外人，这情境自与小龙女相爱以来从所未有，不由得大感迷惘。 一灯从怀中取出一个鸡蛋，交给了小龙女，说道：“世上鸡先有呢，还是蛋先有？”这是个千古无人能解的难题。杨过心想：“当此生死关头，怎地问起这些不打紧的事来？” 小龙女接过蛋来，原来是个磁蛋，但颜色形状无一不像。她微一沉吟，已明其意，道：“蛋破生鸡，鸡大生蛋，既有其生，必有其死。”轻轻击碎蛋壳，滚出一颗丸药，金黄浑圆，便如蛋黄。一灯道：“快服下了。”小龙女心知此药贵重，于是放入口中嚼碎咽下。
次晨大雪兀自未止，杨过心想此去绝情谷路程不近，一灯的丸药虽可续得七日性命，但必须全力赶路，毫不耽搁，方能及时到达，说道：“大师，你伤势怎样？”一灯伤得着实不轻，但想救援师弟、朱子柳和小龙女三人，都是片刻延缓不得，当下袍袖一拂，说道：“不碍事。”提气发足，在雪地里窜出丈余。杨过三人随后跟去。 小龙女服了丸药后，只觉丹田和暖，精神健旺，展开轻功，片刻间便赶在一灯大师之前。慈恩吃了一惊，心想这娇怯怯的姑娘原来武功竟也这生了得，蓦地里好胜心起，腿下发劲，向前急追。一个是轻功天下无双的古墓派传人，一个是号称“铁掌水上飘”的成名英雄，霎时之间赶出数十丈，在雪地中成为两个黑点。杨过生怕慈恩忽又恶性发作，加害小龙女，当即追上相护。他轻功不及二人，但内功既厚，脚下劲力自长，初时和二人相距甚远，行不到半个时辰，前面二人的背影越来越是清晰。 忽听身后一灯笑道：“小居士内力如此深厚，真是难得。师承是谁，能见告么？”杨过脚步略慢，和他并肩而行，说道：“晚辈武功是我妻子教的。”一灯奇道：“尊夫人可不及你啊？”杨过道：“近数月来，晚辈不知怎的忽地内力大进，自己也不明白是何缘故。” 一灯道：“你可服了甚么增长内力的丹药？或者是成形的人参、千年以上的灵芝？”杨过摇了摇头，说道：“晚辈吃过数十枚蛇胆，吃后力气登时大了许多，不知可有干系？”一灯道：“蛇胆？蛇胆只能驱除风湿，并无增力之效。”杨过道：“这是一种奇蛇之胆，那毒蛇身上金光闪闪，头顶生有肉角，形状十分怪异。”一灯沉吟片刻，突然道：“啊，那是菩斯曲蛇。佛经上曾有记载，原来中土也有。听说此蛇行走如风，极难捕捉。”杨过道：“是一头大雕衔来给弟子吃的。”一灯赞叹：“这真是旷世难逢的奇缘了。” 两人口中说话，足下毫不停留，又行一会，和小龙女及慈恩二人更加接近了。一灯和杨过相视一笑。他二人轻功虽不及小龙女和慈恩，但长途奔驰，最后决于内力深厚。再看前面两人时，小龙女已落后丈许，以内力而论，她自是不及慈恩。疾行间转过一个山坳，杨过指着前面道：“咦，怎地有三个人？” 原来小龙女身后不远又有一人快步而行。杨过一瞥之间，便觉此人轻身功夫实不在小龙女和慈恩之下，只见他背上负着一件巨物，似是一口箱子，但仍然步履矫捷，和小龙女始终相隔数丈。一灯也觉奇怪，在这荒山之中不意连遇高人，昨晚遇到一对少年英秀的夫妻，今日所见此人却显然是个老者。 小龙女给慈恩超越后，不久相距更远，听得背后脚步声响，只道杨过跟了上来，说道：“过儿，这位大和尚轻功极好，我比他不过，你追上去试试。”身后一个声音笑道：“你到箱子上来歇一歇，养养力气，不用怕那老和尚。”小龙女听得语音有异，回头一看，只见一人白发白须，却是老顽童周伯通。 他笑容可掬的指着背上的箱子，说道：“来，来，来！”这木箱正是重阳宫藏经阁中之物，想来装着全真教的道藏经书，他才这般巴巴的背负出来。小龙女微微一笑，尚未回答，周伯通突然身形晃动，抢到她身边，一伸臂便托着她腰，将她放上了箱顶。这一下身法既快，出手又奇，小龙女竟不及抗拒，身子已在木箱之上，不禁暗自佩服：“全真派号称天下武学正宗，果有过人之处，重阳宫的道人打不过我，只是没学到师门武功的精髓而已。” 这时杨过和一灯也均已认出是周伯通，只有慈恩生怕小龙女赶上，全神贯注的疾走，不知身后已多了一人。周伯通迈开大步跟随其后，低声道：“再奔半个时辰，他脚步便会慢下来。”小龙女笑道：“你怎知道？”周伯通道：“我跟他斗过脚力，从中原直追到西域，又从西域赶回中原，几万里跑了下来，哪能不知？”小龙女坐在箱上，平稳安适，犹胜骑马，低声笑道：“老顽童，你为甚么帮我？”周伯通道：“你模样儿讨人欢喜，又不似黄蓉那么刁钻古怪。我偷了你的蜜糖，你也不生气。” 这般奔了半个多时辰，果如周伯通所料，慈恩脚步渐慢。周伯通道：“去罢！”肩头推耸，将小龙女送出丈余，她养足力气，纵身奔跑，片刻间便越过慈恩身旁，侧过头来微微一笑。慈恩一惊，急忙加力。但两人轻功本在伯仲之间，现下一个休憩已久，一个却是一步没停过，相距越来越远，再也追赶不上。 慈恩生平两大绝技自负天下无对，但一日一夜之间，铁掌输于杨过，轻功输于小龙女，不由得大为沮丧，但觉双腿软软的不听使唤，暗自心惊：“难道我大限已到，连一个小姑娘也比不过了？”他昨晚恶性大发，出手打伤了师父，一直怔忡不安，这时用足全力追赶小龙女不上，更是心神恍惚，但觉天下事全是不可思议。 杨过在后头看得明白，见周伯通暗助小龙女胜过慈恩，颇觉有趣，加快脚步走到他身边，笑道：“周老前辈，多谢你啊。”周伯通道：“这裘千仞好久没见他了，怎么越老越胡闹，剃光了头做起和尚来？”杨过道：“他拜了一灯大师为师，你不知道么？”说着向后一指。周伯通大吃一惊，叫道：“段皇爷也来了么？”回头遥遥望见一灯，叫道：“出行不利，溜之大吉！”当即斜刺里窜出，钻进了树林。杨过也不知“段皇爷”是甚么，但见树分草伏，周伯通霎时间去得无影无踪，暗道：“这人行事之怪，真是天下少有。” 一灯见周伯通躲开，快步上前，见慈恩神情委顿，适才的刚勇强悍突然间不知去向，说道：“你对胜负之数，还是这般勘不破么？”慈恩惘然不语。一灯道：“有所欲即有所蔽。以你武功之强，若非一意争胜，岂能不知背后多了一人？”
四人加紧赶路，起初五日行得甚快，到第六日清晨，一灯伤势不轻，渐渐支持不住。杨过道：“大师还是暂且休息，保养身子为要。此去绝情谷已不在远，晚辈夫妇随慈恩大师赶去谷中，好歹也要救神僧和朱大叔出来。”一灯微笑道：“我留着可不放心。”稍停片刻，又道：“只怕谷中变故甚多，老僧还是亲去的好。”慈恩道：“弟子背负师父前往。”说着将一灯负在背上，大踏步而行。 午时过后，一行人来到谷口。杨过向慈恩道：“咱们是否要报明身份，让令妹出来迎接大师？”慈恩一怔，尚未回答，忽听得谷中隐隐传来兵刃相交之声。慈恩挂念妹子，生怕是她在和武三通等人交手，任谁一方伤了都不好，说道：“咱们快去制止动手要紧。”施展轻功向前急冲。他不识谷中道路，杨过一路指点。 四人奔到邻近，只见七八名绿衣弟子各执兵刃，守在一丛密林之外，兵刃声从密林中传将出来，却不见相斗之人。 绿衣弟子突见又有外敌攻到，发一声喊，冲将过来，奔到近处，认出了杨过和小龙女，一齐住足。领头的弟子上前两步，按剑说道：“主母请杨相公办的事，大功已成么？” 杨过反问道：“林中何人相斗？”那绿衣弟子不答，侧目凝视，不知他此来居心是善是恶。杨过微笑道：“小弟此来，并无恶意。公孙夫人安好？公孙姑娘安好？”那弟子心中去了几分敌意，道：“托福，主母和姑娘都好。”又问：“这两位大和尚是谁？各位和林中四个女子可是一路么？”杨过道：“四个女子，那是谁啊？”那弟子道：“四个女子分作两路闯进谷来，主母传令拦阻，她们大胆不听，现已分别引入情花坳中。哪知她们一见面，自己却打了起来。” 杨过听到“情花坳”三字，不禁一惊，猜不出四个女子是谁，倘是黄蓉、郭芙、完颜萍、耶律燕，四人怎会互斗？说道：“便烦引见一观，小弟若是相识，当可劝其罢斗，一同叩见谷主。”那弟子心想反正这四个女子已经被困，让你见识一下，也可知我绝情谷的厉害，便引四人走进密林。果见四个女子分作两对，正自激斗。 杨过和小龙女一见，暗暗心惊。原来四个女子立足处是一片径长两丈的圆形草地，外边密密层层的围满了情花，不论从哪个方位出来，都有八九丈地面生满情花。任你轻功再强，也决不能一跃而出，纵然跃至半路也是难能。 小龙女道：“是师姊！”南向而斗的两个女子一是李莫愁，另一个是她弟子洪凌波。两人各持长剑，想是李莫愁的拂尘在古墓中折断后，仓卒间不及重制。 敌对的两女一个手持柳叶刀，另一个兵刃似是一管洞箫，两人身形婀娜，步法迅捷，武功也自不弱，但和李莫愁相抗总是不及。杨过一惊：“是她们表姊妹俩？”这时洪凌波身子略侧，穿淡黄衫子的少女回过半面，穿浅紫衫的少女跟着斜身，正是程英和陆无双。 四人局处径长两丈的草地之中，便似擂台比武或斗室恶斗一般，地形有限，不能踏错半步，这么一来，武功较差的更是处处缚手缚脚。幸得李莫愁兵刃不顺手，洪凌波对陆无双顾念昔日之情，不肯猛下杀手，因此程陆二女虽处下风，还在勉力支持。 杨过问那领头的绿衣弟子道：“她们四人好端端的，怎会闯到这圆圈中去打架？”那绿衣人甚是得意，傲然道：“这是公孙谷主布下的奇径。我们把奸细逼进情花坳，再在进口处堆上情花，哪还能出来？”杨过急道：“她们都已中了情花之毒么？”那绿衣人道：“就算没中，也不久了。” 杨过心想：“凭你们的武功，怎能将李莫愁逼入情花坳中？啊，是了，定是使出带刀渔网阵绝恶的法门。倘若程陆二女再中情花之毒，世上已无药可救。”当即朗声说道：“程姊姊，陆姊姊，小弟杨过在此。你们身周花上有刺，剧毒无比，千万小心了。” 李莫愁早瞧出情花模样诡异，绿衣弟子既用花树拦路，其中必有缘故，因此一入情花坳后，便低声嘱咐洪凌波小心，须得远离花树。程英和陆无双也均乖巧伶俐，如何看不出来？四人料想花树中不是安有机关陷阱，便有毒箭暗器，这时听杨过一叫，对身周花树更增畏惧，向草地中心挤拢，近身而搏，斗得更加凶了。 程英和陆无双听得杨过到来，心下极喜，急欲和他相见，苦于敌人相逼极紧，难以脱身。李莫愁却想只有杀了两女，铺在情花上作垫脚石，方能踏着她们身子出去。杨过和小龙女之来，原使她大吃一惊，好在中间有情花相隔，他们不能过来援手，厉声喝道：“凌波，你再不出全力，自己的小命要送在这儿了。”洪凌波忙应道：“是！”剑上加劲，并力向程英刺去。 程英举箫挡架，李莫愁长剑向她咽喉疾刺。陆无双抢上提刀横架。李莫愁冷笑一声，长剑微晃，飞起左腿，踢中她的手腕。陆无双柳叶刀脱手飞出，跌入情花丛中。李莫愁长剑闪动，向程连刺三剑。程英招架不住，向后急退。她只要再退一步，左脚便得踏入花丛，陆无双惊叫：“表姊，不能再退。”李莫愁微笑道：“不能再退，那便上前罢！”说着斜后让开一步。程英明知她决无善意，但自己所站之处实在过于危险，只得跟着踏前。李莫愁冷笑道：“好大的胆子！”长剑抖动，闪出十余点银光，剑尖将她上半身尽数罩住了。 杨过在外瞧得明白，知是古墓派剑法的厉害招数，叫做“冷月窥人”，倘若不明这一招的来龙去脉，十九会尽全力守护上身，小腹便非中剑不可，眼见程英举箫在自己胸前削下，忙从地下拾起一块小石，放在拇指和中指之间，飕的一声，弹了出去，石子去势劲急，直取李莫愁双目。便在此时，李莫愁剑尖蓦地下指，离程英的小腹已不过数寸。她斗见石子飞到，不及挺剑杀敌，只得回剑击开石子。 杨过所使的正是黄药师传授的弹指神通功夫，但火候未到，只能声东击西，引敌回救。倘使黄药师亲自出手，这颗石子便击在李莫愁剑上，将长剑震落或震开，那就万无一失，但也亏得当时传了杨过这手功夫，他晚年所收的女弟子方始保住了性命，纵然如此，杨过和程英都已吓出了一身冷汗。 李莫愁见程英这一下死里逃生，本来白嫩的面颊吓
The white-browed monk said: "Once upon a time, there was a doe who gave birth to two fawns. The doe was accidentally caught by the hunter, and the hunter wanted to kill it. The doe kowtowed and begged, saying: 'I gave birth to two sons. Water plants. When begging for fake film, let me tell the child how to find food, and he will die when he comes back.' The hunter forbids it. "Finding the two sons, the doe bowed her head, groaned, licked the body of the son, and said to the two sons with joy and sorrow in her heart: "All love and reunion are due to karma, reunion and parting, impermanence is rare for a long time. Now I am your mother, forever Fear of self-defense, fear of life and death, and life in the morning dew." The two deer were young and didn't know what it meant. So the doe took the two sons, pointed out the beautiful aquatic plants, exchanged tears, and said: "I will never meet in the future, and I will fall into the hunter by mistake. Hand; it should be slaughtered, and the body will be broken into pieces. I prayed for you, and I will die now; pity you for being lonely, and try to live yourself.'” When Xiao Longnv heard this, she thought of her short life, and thought of the words "Life and death are so fearful, life is at stake in the morning dew", "I pity you for being lonely, and try to live yourself", and couldn't help but shed tears .Yang Guo knew that what the white-browed monk was talking about was just a Buddhist fable, but he was deeply moved by the sad and sincere relationship between mother and child described in it. Only the white-browed monk continued to preach: "After the doe finished speaking, she parted from the fawn. The two sons wailed, wept and loved, and followed closely. Although the young one couldn't run fast, he still fell down and got up again, refusing to leave his mother. The doe stopped and turned around and said, "Son! You must not follow. If a hunter sees you, mother and child will die together. I am willing to die, but I pity you for your immaturity. The world is impermanent, and there is separation. I am self-deprecating, You have lost your mother since you were young.' After saying that, he ran to the hunter. The two little deer were eager to pursue them, defying the hunter's bow and arrow. "The hunter saw that the female deer believed in the righteousness of death, gave up her life to keep her oath, and was steadfast and loyal, which was beyond the reach of others. He also saw that the mother and child of the three deer were inseparable, and felt sorry for the wound, so they let the deer not kill. The three deer were sad and happy, singing Hey, thanks to the hunter. The hunter reported the matter to the king, and the whole country admired it, so that the evil deeds of killing and hunting will be stopped."
Hearing this story, the black-clothed monk burst into tears, and said: "This deer believes in righteousness, and his mother is kind and filial to his son, which is beyond the reach of my disciples." The white-browed monk said: "With compassion, killing karma will disappear. "As he spoke, he glanced at Elder Peng beside him, as if he also wanted to enlighten him.The black-clothed monk replied: "Yes!" The white-browed monk said: "If you want to make amends, you have to do good. Instead of regretting what you should not have done in the past, it is better to do more in the future." He sighed slightly and said: " It's me, I have done many wrong things in my life." He closed his eyes and meditated. The black-clothed monk seemed to realize something, but he was restless and couldn't restrain himself. When he raised his head, he saw Elder Peng staring at him with a smile, his eyes seemed to be shining.The black-clothed monk was stunned, thinking that he had met this person somewhere before, and felt that he was looking at him very uncomfortable, so he turned his head to avoid it, but after a while, he couldn't help but look at him again.Elder Peng smiled and said, "It's snowing a lot, isn't it?" The black-clothed monk said, "Yes, it's snowing a lot." Elder Peng said, "Come on, let's go and see the snow scene." board door.The black-clothed monk said: "Okay, let's go and see the snow scene." Standing up, he stood shoulder to shoulder with him at the door.Even though Yang Guo was separated by the wooden wall, he still felt that Elder Peng's eyes were very strange, and he felt a faint sense of ominousness in his heart. Elder Peng said: "Your master said well that killing people is absolutely unavoidable, but you are full of energy, if you don't fight with others, you will feel very sad, isn't it?" The black-clothed monk replied in a daze "Yes!" Elder Peng said: "You might as well slap the snowman, strike it, there is no crime." The monk in black looked at the snowman, raised his arms, eager to try.At this time, half an hour had passed since the arrival of the two monks, another layer of snow had piled up on the skinny beggar's body, covering even his eyes.Elder Peng said: "Shoot your palms together, hit this snowman, hit it! Hit it! Hit it!" His voice was soft and full of persuasion.The black-clothed monk put his strength into his arms and said, "Okay, I'll fight!" The white-browed monk raised his head, heaved a long sigh, and said in a low voice: "As soon as the murderous intention arises, the karma arises." But there was a bang, the monk in black stretched out both palms, and the snow flew.The palm on the thin beggar's body loosened the acupoints, he let out a loud "Ah", the voice was horrific and spread far away.Xiao Longnv whispered softly, reached out and grabbed Yang Guo's palm. The black-clothed monk was taken aback, and shouted: "There is someone in the snow!" The white-browed monk rushed out and leaned over to check.The thin beggar fell into the powerful iron palm of the monk in black and died long ago.The black-clothed monk did not guard the house, but stayed there. Elder Peng pretended to be surprised, and said: "This man is really strange, what are you doing hiding in the snow? Hey, why is he still holding a knife in his hand?" He instigated the black-clothed monk to kill the skinny beggar with the "soul-absorbing method", and his heart He was proud of himself, but he couldn't help being surprised: "This guy actually has such endurance, hiding in the snow without moving. Could it be that Bai Xueser didn't hear me calling someone to strike?" The monk in black just called: "Master!" and stared blankly.The white-browed monk said: "Injustice, injustice. You didn't kill this person, but you did." The black-clothed monk crouched in the snow and said in a trembling voice, "I don't understand." The white-browed monk said: "You just He said that this is a snowman, so he had no intention of hurting anyone. But your palm is so powerful that when you strike, don't you have the intention to kill?" The black-clothed monk said: "I do have the intention to kill." The white-browed monk stared at Elder Peng for a while, his eyes were very soft and full of compassion, and with just one look, Elder Peng's "Spiritual Immortality" disappeared without a trace.The black-clothed monk suddenly called out: "You...you are the elder of the beggar gang, I remember!" The smiling expression on Elder Peng's face disappeared in an instant, and his brows were filled with surly looks, and he said: "You It's Chief Qiu of the Iron Palm Gang, why did he become a monk?"
This black-clothed monk is Qiu Qianren, the leader of the Iron Palm Clan.On that day at the top of Huashan Mountain, he had an epiphany and became a monk under the seat of Master Yideng.This old monk with white eyebrows is Master Yideng who is as famous as Wang Chongyang, Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng, and Hong Qigong.After Qiu Qianren was shaved, he was named Mercy, sincerely converted to Buddhism, and worked hard to cultivate. However, he had done too many evils in the past, and the evil roots in his heart were hard to get rid of. When encountering strong external temptations, he would inevitably hurt others, so he forged two pairs of iron cuffs , Whenever I feel agitated in my heart, I handcuff my hands and feet to stop evil deeds.On this day, Master Yideng received a letter from his disciple Zhu Ziliu asking for help at the hermitage on Huguang South Road, so he took Ci'en to the Valley of Unrequited Love.Unexpectedly, when meeting Elder Peng in this deep mountain, Ci'en accidentally killed one person. Since Ci'en became a monk, although she has violated the precepts in more than ten years, it is the first time that she has killed a human being. She was at a loss for a while, and felt that her cultivation in the past ten years had been wiped out in an instant.He stared at Elder Peng fiercely, his eyes seemed to burst into flames. Master Yideng knew that this was a critical moment, if he used martial arts to forcibly restrain him from doing anything, the evil thoughts in his heart would accumulate more and more, and one day the embankment would burst and he would be out of control. Only when it is eliminated can one enter the realm of proving the Tao.Standing beside Ci'en, he recited softly: "Amitabha, Amitabha!" After reciting seventy or eighty times, Ci'en's eyes left Elder Peng, went back into the wooden house and sat down, panting again. Elder Peng knew that Qiu Qianren was excellent in martial arts, but he didn't recognize Master Yideng, but he saw that he was a dying monk with white eyebrows like snow, so he didn't care about him, he thought that he could do whatever he wanted as long as he restrained Qiu Qianren with the "Soul-storing Dafa" Who would have thought that Yideng's eyes would cast a heavy weight on his heart, and he would no longer be able to cast spells. This time, he would be terrified and lose his mind. If he ran away, Qiu Qianren, who is known as "floating on the water with the iron palm" , the lightness kung fu is extraordinary, the footprints in the snow are clear, there is no way to escape, I only hope that he will listen to the old monk with white eyebrows to persuade others to be kind, and not come to embarrass himself.He shrank in the corner of the room, feeling uneasy in his heart.Ci'en's panting became faster and faster, and his heart beat faster and faster. Yang Guo heard Yideng tell the story of Sanlu, he remembered that all living beings are happy to live and hate death, even though the skinny beggar behaved evil and deserved to die, but he suddenly suffered a tragic accident, but he was quite shocked, he also saw the strength of Ci'en's palm It was unusual, thinking to himself, who is this monk who has such high-strength martial arts? But Ci'en gasped and said loudly: "Master, I was born a wicked person, and God does not allow me to repent. Although I didn't intend to kill people, I will inevitably hurt people's lives. I will not be a monk anymore!" Yideng said: "Sin, sin ! Let me tell you another piece of Buddhist scriptures." Ci'en said in a rough voice: "What Buddhist scriptures do you still listen to? You lied to me for more than ten years, and I don't believe it anymore." The chains were broken one after another.Yideng said softly: "Ci'en, don't worry about it, don't worry about it." Ci'en stood up, shook her head at Yideng, turned around suddenly, and pushed out her palms at Elder Peng's chest, with a loud bang, Elder Peng crashed through the board wall and flew out.Under the swing of this iron palm, tendons and bones were broken, and ten lives would not survive. Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv were startled when they heard the loud noise, they came out of the inner room hand in hand, and saw Ci'en raised his arms high, his eyes showed a fierce look, and shouted: "What are you looking at? If you don't do anything today, you won't stop, Lao Tzu It's time to start a killing spree." Speaking of mobilizing strength in his arms, he wanted to use the Iron Palm Kung Fu to slap out. Master Yideng walked to the door, stood in front of Yang and Long, sat cross-legged on the ground, uttered the Buddha's name, and said: "The lost road is not far away, but we can still return. Mercy, Mercy, are you really going to sink into a state of no return? "Ci'en's face was blue and red for a while, and her heart was extremely chaotic, with good thoughts and evil thoughts constantly fighting.This day when he was walking in the snow field, his chest was already extremely agitated, he was disturbed by the "Soul-hunting Dafa" and killed two people in a row, he couldn't control himself anymore.It can be seen in the eyes that Master Yideng is a mentor who helps him at one time, but at the other time becomes a big enemy who is against him. After standing still for a moment, the evil thoughts in his heart became more and more intense, and with a sudden cry, he struck out at Master Yideng with his palm.Yideng raised his hand and stood on his chest, his body swayed slightly, blocking the palm.Ci'en said angrily: "You are going to make trouble with me!" Another palm with his left hand, Master Yideng stretched out his hand to parry, but still did not return the blow.Ci'en shouted: "Why are you hypocritical? Fight back quickly, if you don't fight back, you will kill yourself in vain, don't blame me!" Although he was confused, he said these few words well. His Iron Palm Kungfu and Master Yideng's Yiyang Finger are both good at winning games. They were equally famous in the martial arts back then.Yideng's Buddhist practice is more than enough to be his master. When it comes to martial arts, if he uses his yang finger to move around with all his strength, he may be able to win half a move, but his palm skills are not as good. For a long time, even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured.But Yideng is brave enough to sacrifice his life to save others, he would rather suffer the disaster of being hit by an iron palm than fight back, only hoping that he will finally repent.This is not a contest of martial arts internal strength, but a battle between good thoughts and evil thoughts. Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu saw Ci'en's iron palm slashing towards Yideng like an axe, when they hit the fourteenth palm, Yideng made a "wow", and a mouthful of blood spurted out.Ci'en was startled, and shouted: "Aren't you fighting back?" Yideng said softly, "Why should I fight back? What's the use of me defeating you? What's the use of you defeating me? You must overcome yourself and restrain yourself!" Ci'en was taken aback, and murmured: "You must overcome yourself, restrain yourself!" Master Yideng's words hit Yang Guo's heart like a thunderstorm, and he thought to himself: "To overcome one's own willfulness, to restrain one's delusions, it is indeed much more difficult than to defeat a powerful enemy. The words of this eminent monk are really wise words " But seeing Ci'en's palms staying in the air for a while, finally slapping them out again with a whoosh.Yideng's body swayed, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, completely staining his white beard and monk's robe. Yang Guo saw his technique and endurance, he knew his kung fu is definitely not inferior to the black monk, but if he is beaten like this, even his body of iron and stone will be ruined eventually.At this time, he already had great admiration for Yideng, knowing that he would give up his life to enlighten the wicked, but he must not let him die like this, thinking that with his single palm, he couldn't block the black-clothed monk's iron palm, so he turned around and raised the black iron weight The sword circled around Yideng's side, and when Ci'en waved his palm again, he stabbed straight with the sword. The black iron sword stirred up a strong wind, and when it collided with Ci'en's palm, both of them shook slightly. Ci'en let out a "Huh", never expecting that a young hunter in the barren hills would have such powerful martial arts.Master Yideng glanced at Yang Guo, also very surprised.Ci'en sternly shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing?" Yang Guo said: "The respected teacher is good at persuading me, why is the master so obsessed with obsession? It is wrong not to listen to Jin Shi's good words, but to repay kindness with resentment, and to attack the respected teacher fiercely. Such a man Are you not as good as a beast?" Ci'en was furious, and shouted: "Are you also from the beggar gang? Are you on the same side as that sneaky elder?" Yang Guo laughed and said, "These two are scum of the beggar gang. Doing good, why should you regret yourself?" Ci'en was startled, and said to herself: "Eliminating evil is doing good...Eliminating evil is doing good..." Yang Guo listened to the conversation between his master and his disciples through the wooden wall, and he vaguely understood what was on his mind, knowing that his remorse gave birth to hatred and evil thoughts, he said again: "Those two are traitors from the beggar gang, they intend to lure wolves into the house and kill me, a big man. Betrayed by a foreign race. The master killed these two people, it is really a great merit. These two people survived, and I don’t know how many good men and women’s families were destroyed. Although my Buddha is merciful, when encountering evil spirits and heretics, don’t you have to show your magical powers to drive them out? " Yang Guo's knowledge of Buddhism is nothing more than this, it's really superficial, but Ci'en is very pleasant to his ears.He slowly lowered his palm, and in a flash, he suddenly remembered that he had also been awarded the title of a great gold in the past, and he had also helped foreigners invade the Song Dynasty. Yang Guo's words were nothing more than a denunciation of his faults, and he suddenly raised his palm to him Cut it off, and shouted: "Little beast, what are you talking about?" This palm was fast and cruel, Yang Guo only said that he had moved him with words, but he would suddenly attack, the wind of the palm hit his chest in an instant, he couldn't use his strength to resist in the crisis, he simply jumped back following the force of his palm, With two bangs, bangs and clicks, a big hole was broken in the wooden house, and Yang Guo flew out of the house.Master Yideng was taken aback, and thought to himself: "Could it be that this young man lost his life like this? Looks like he has good martial arts! Sigh, why didn't I save his life in time?" He was very annoyed. Suddenly the firewood in the inner room went dark, a gust of wind blew in from the hole in the wall, Yang Guo followed the wind, stabbed at Ci'en with his sword, and shouted: "Okay, you and I will fight today." Shake his sword away with palm force.But Yang Guo's swordsmanship is really Dugu's unique skill, although the age is far away, he can't be taught by this senior personally, but Flood practiced the sword, the snake's gallbladder strengthened, and with the help of the divine sculpture, the swordsmanship Yang Guo learned It's like the sword demon who was invincible in the world back then.Ci'en struck out with a palm, Yang Guo's sword edge was only a few inches away, the tip of the sword was still pointing at his left arm.Ci'en was terrified, she dodged to the right quickly, only to avoid the sword, and immediately struck back with her palm.The two exercised their own magical powers, fighting fiercely with their swords and palms. The more Yideng looked at it, the more strange he became, thinking that this young man was only in his twenties, yet he was able to draw even with Qiu Tiezhang, a first-rate contemporary master. He had seen a lot, but he couldn't recognize who his martial arts was. It is amazing that the sword is so heavy.Turning around, I saw Xiao Longnv holding the baby in her arms, standing by the door, with a beautiful face and a leisurely expression, she was not alarmed by the fierce fight between the two, she thought to herself: "This girl is not an ordinary person." There was a faint layer of black air, and she couldn't help shouting: "Ah!" Xiao Longnv smiled back, and said in her heart: "You can see it." At this time, the two fought fiercely with one sword and two palms, Yang Guo took advantage of the weapon, but Ci'en got an extra arm, it can be said that it was straight.There was only a bang, and a piece of wood flew off, followed by a rattling sound, and another pillar broke. The wooden house is small and not strong enough to hold a fight between two masters.The blades and palms were blowing everywhere, and the wooden planks were flying in all directions. Finally, with a loud rattling sound, the wooden pillars snapped and the roof collapsed.Xiao Longnv picked up Guo Xiang and flew out of the window, with a lamp behind her to protect her, she brushed away a few broken pieces of wood with her sleeves. The north wind was blowing, the snow kept falling, and the two fought endlessly.Ci'en has never fought so fiercely with anyone in more than ten years, the fight was vigorous, the iron palm flew up amidst the roar, and could be removed from more than a hundred moves, but he felt that the strength of the opponent's sword could not be increased, he was getting old, and gradually moved Can't stand it.Yang Guo straightened his sword and stabbed at his chest, seeing him slanting to dodge, he immediately swept his iron sword across, the wind whipped up the white snow, and rushed towards him.Ci'en's eyes were covered with snow, and she hurriedly stretched out her hands to wipe it off, suddenly felt the black iron sword on her right shoulder, suddenly felt as if a thousand weights were placed on her body, she couldn't stand anymore, turned over and fell down.Yang Guo's sword pointed straight at his chest, although the sword was not sharp, it was very powerful, it only pressed his ribs inwards sharply, he could only exhale, he could not inhale half a breath. At this moment, the word "death" flashed across Ci'en's heart like lightning.Since he practiced the superb martial arts, he traveled all over the rivers and lakes. He was the only one who went to kill and hurt others. He rarely encountered setbacks. He was defeated by Zhou Botong and fled all the way to the Western Regions. It is so close, but it has never been encountered in my life. When I think of "death", I can't help but feel great regret, but I feel that this life will end from now on, and there are all kinds of evils that cannot be redeemed.Master Yideng can't be enlightened by a thousand words, but Yang Guo's sword immediately made him think: "It's so miserable to kill someone, but if I used to kill people, the victim is just as miserable." Master Yideng saw that Yang Guo subdued Ci'en, he thought: "Such a young hero is really rare." He stepped forward, stretched out his finger and lightly touched the blade of the sword, Yang Guo felt his left arm heat up, and the black iron sword immediately swung away. . Ci'en straightened up and stood up, followed by throwing herself on the ground, shouting: "Master, this disciple deserves ten thousand deaths, this disciple deserves ten thousand deaths!" Yideng smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke his back, and said, "To be greatly enlightened, it is not Yi Yi. Haven't thanked this little layman for his teaching?" Yang Guo originally suspected that the old monk was Master Yideng, so he swiped the blade of the sword with his finger, thinking that this yang finger kung fu is really similar to Huang Island Master's supernatural power of flicking fingers, there is no third person's finger strength in the world Being able to keep pace with him, he immediately bowed down and said: "Disciple Yang Guo sees the master." Seeing Ci'en knelt down to him, he hurriedly returned the salute, saying: "Senior, if you do such a great gift, you will break the villain. I have offended you so much." Pointing to Xiaolongnv, she said: "This is the disciple Longshi. Come and kowtow to the master." Xiaolongnv hugged Guo Xiang and saluted. Ci'en said: "The disciple just lost his mind and went crazy. Is the master's injury serious?" Yideng smiled lightly and asked, "Are you feeling better?" Ci'en felt very guilty and didn't know what to say.
Four people sat on top of a collapsed wooden pillar.Yang Guo briefly described how he got to know Wu Santong, Zhu Ziliu and Diancang Yuyin. He also talked about how he was poisoned in the Valley of Unrequited Love, and how the Tianzhu monk and Zhu Ziliu went to find the medicine for themselves and were trapped.Yideng said: "That's why my master and apprentice went to the Valley of Unrequited Love. Do you know the relationship between this monk of Mercy and the female valley owner of the Valley of Unrequited Love?" Yang Guo heard Elder Peng say "Chief Qiu of the Iron Palm Clan", and said, "Master Ci'en's layman's surname is Qiu, is he the leader of the Iron Palm Clan?" The female valley owner is Lingmei." Ci'en said: "That's right, how is my sister?" Yang Guo couldn't answer, Qiu Qianchi's limbs were amputated by her husband, and she became a cripple, so she really can't say "good".Seeing his hesitation, Ci'en said: "My sister is violent and willful, if she is punished, it will not be surprising." Yang Guo said: "Your sister has disabled hands and feet, but her body is quite healthy." Ci'en sighed In a low voice, he said: "After so many years, everyone is getting old... Well, she has always been able to talk to her second brother..." At this point, she was in a daze, reminiscing about the past. Master Yideng knew that his karma had not been broken, so he repented just now, only because the evil thoughts suddenly disappeared at the critical moment of life and death. In fact, the root of evil in his heart has not been eliminated. It will take a long time, and then come to maintain the probation, everything depends on the law. 杨过见一灯瞧着慈恩的眼光中流露出怜悯之情，忽想：“一灯大师武功决不在他弟子之下，始终不肯还手，定有深意。我这出手，只怕反而坏了事。”忙道：“大师，弟子愚不解事，适才轻举妄动，是否错了，请大师指点。” 一灯道：“人心难知，他便是将我打死了，也未必便此能大彻大悟，说不定陷溺更深。你救我一命，又令他迷途知返，怎会是错？老衲深感盛德。”转头望着小龙女，问道：“小娘子如何毒入内腑？”杨过听他一问，似在沉沉黑暗之中突然见到一点光亮，忙道：“她受伤之后正在打通关脉治疗，岂知恰在那时中了喂有剧毒的暗器。大师可能慈悲救她一命？”说着不由自主的双膝跪地。 一灯伸手扶起，问道：“她如何打通关脉？内息怎生运转？”杨过道：“她逆运经脉，又有寒玉床及弟子在旁相助。”一灯听了他的解释，不由得啧啧称奇，道：“那位欧阳兄当真是天下奇人，开创逆运经脉之法，实是匪夷所思，从此武学中另辟了一道蹊径。”伸指搭了小龙女双手腕脉，脸现忧色，半晌不语。 杨过怔怔的瞧着他，只盼他能说出“有救”两个字来。小龙女的眼光却始终望着杨过，她早便没想到能活至今日，见杨过脸色沉重，只为自己担忧，缓缓的道：“生死有命，岂能强求？过儿，忧能伤人，你别太过关怀了。” 一灯自进木屋以来，第一次听到小龙女说话，听她这几句话语音温柔，而且心情平和，达观知命，不禁一怔。他不知小龙女自幼便受师父教诲，灵台明净，少受物羁，本想这姑娘小小年纪，中毒难治，定然忧急万状，哪知说出话来竟是功行深厚的修道人口吻。心想：“这一对少年夫妇实是人间龙凤，男的武功如此了得，女的修悟生死，更是不易。我生平所遇，只有郭靖、黄蓉夫妇，方能和他们比肩，我那些弟子无一能及。唉，只是她中毒既深，我受伤后又使不出一阳指神功。”微一沉吟，说道：“两位年纪轻轻，修为却着实不凡，老衲不妨直言……”杨过听到这里，一颗心不由得沉了下去，双手冰冷。 只听一灯续道：“小夫人剧毒透入重关，老衲倘若身未受伤，可用一阳指功夫助她体内毒质暂不发作，然后寻觅灵药解毒。如今嘛……好在小夫人幼功所积颇厚，老衲这里有药一颗，服后保得七日平安。咱们到绝情谷去找到我师弟……”杨过拍腿站起，叫道：“啊，不错，这位天竺神僧治毒的本事出神入化，必有法子解毒。” 一灯道：“倘若我师弟也不能救，那是大数使然。世上有的孩子生下来没多久便死了，小夫人嫁人之后方始不治，也不为夭。”说到这里，想起当年周伯通和刘贵妃所生的那个孩子，只因自己由妒生恨，坚不肯为其治伤，终于丧命；而那个孩子，却是慈恩打伤的。 杨过睁大了眼睛望着一灯，心想：“龙儿能否治愈，尚在未定之天，你却不说一句安慰的言语。”小龙女淡淡一笑，道：“大师说得很是。”眼望身周大雪，淡淡的道：“这些雪花落下来，多么白，多么好看。过几天太阳出来，每一片雪花都变得无影无踪。到得明年冬天，又有许许多多雪花，只不过已不是今年这些雪花罢了。” 一灯点了点头，转头望着慈恩，道：“你懂么？”慈恩点了点头，心想日出雪消，冬天下雪，这些粗浅的道理有甚么不懂？ 杨过和小龙女本来心心相印，对方即是最隐晦的心意相互也均洞悉，但此刻她和一灯对答，自己却是隔了一层。似乎她和一灯相互知心，自己反而成了外人，这情境自与小龙女相爱以来从所未有，不由得大感迷惘。 一灯从怀中取出一个鸡蛋，交给了小龙女，说道：“世上鸡先有呢，还是蛋先有？”这是个千古无人能解的难题。杨过心想：“当此生死关头，怎地问起这些不打紧的事来？” 小龙女接过蛋来，原来是个磁蛋，但颜色形状无一不像。她微一沉吟，已明其意，道：“蛋破生鸡，鸡大生蛋，既有其生，必有其死。”轻轻击碎蛋壳，滚出一颗丸药，金黄浑圆，便如蛋黄。一灯道：“快服下了。”小龙女心知此药贵重，于是放入口中嚼碎咽下。
次晨大雪兀自未止，杨过心想此去绝情谷路程不近，一灯的丸药虽可续得七日性命，但必须全力赶路，毫不耽搁，方能及时到达，说道：“大师，你伤势怎样？”一灯伤得着实不轻，但想救援师弟、朱子柳和小龙女三人，都是片刻延缓不得，当下袍袖一拂，说道：“不碍事。”提气发足，在雪地里窜出丈余。杨过三人随后跟去。 小龙女服了丸药后，只觉丹田和暖，精神健旺，展开轻功，片刻间便赶在一灯大师之前。慈恩吃了一惊，心想这娇怯怯的姑娘原来武功竟也这生了得，蓦地里好胜心起，腿下发劲，向前急追。一个是轻功天下无双的古墓派传人，一个是号称“铁掌水上飘”的成名英雄，霎时之间赶出数十丈，在雪地中成为两个黑点。杨过生怕慈恩忽又恶性发作，加害小龙女，当即追上相护。他轻功不及二人，但内功既厚，脚下劲力自长，初时和二人相距甚远，行不到半个时辰，前面二人的背影越来越是清晰。 忽听身后一灯笑道：“小居士内力如此深厚，真是难得。师承是谁，能见告么？”杨过脚步略慢，和他并肩而行，说道：“晚辈武功是我妻子教的。”一灯奇道：“尊夫人可不及你啊？”杨过道：“近数月来，晚辈不知怎的忽地内力大进，自己也不明白是何缘故。” 一灯道：“你可服了甚么增长内力的丹药？或者是成形的人参、千年以上的灵芝？”杨过摇了摇头，说道：“晚辈吃过数十枚蛇胆，吃后力气登时大了许多，不知可有干系？”一灯道：“蛇胆？蛇胆只能驱除风湿，并无增力之效。”杨过道：“这是一种奇蛇之胆，那毒蛇身上金光闪闪，头顶生有肉角，形状十分怪异。”一灯沉吟片刻，突然道：“啊，那是菩斯曲蛇。佛经上曾有记载，原来中土也有。听说此蛇行走如风，极难捕捉。”杨过道：“是一头大雕衔来给弟子吃的。”一灯赞叹：“这真是旷世难逢的奇缘了。” 两人口中说话，足下毫不停留，又行一会，和小龙女及慈恩二人更加接近了。一灯和杨过相视一笑。他二人轻功虽不及小龙女和慈恩，但长途奔驰，最后决于内力深厚。再看前面两人时，小龙女已落后丈许，以内力而论，她自是不及慈恩。疾行间转过一个山坳，杨过指着前面道：“咦，怎地有三个人？” 原来小龙女身后不远又有一人快步而行。杨过一瞥之间，便觉此人轻身功夫实不在小龙女和慈恩之下，只见他背上负着一件巨物，似是一口箱子，但仍然步履矫捷，和小龙女始终相隔数丈。一灯也觉奇怪，在这荒山之中不意连遇高人，昨晚遇到一对少年英秀的夫妻，今日所见此人却显然是个老者。 小龙女给慈恩超越后，不久相距更远，听得背后脚步声响，只道杨过跟了上来，说道：“过儿，这位大和尚轻功极好，我比他不过，你追上去试试。”身后一个声音笑道：“你到箱子上来歇一歇，养养力气，不用怕那老和尚。”小龙女听得语音有异，回头一看，只见一人白发白须，却是老顽童周伯通。 他笑容可掬的指着背上的箱子，说道：“来，来，来！”这木箱正是重阳宫藏经阁中之物，想来装着全真教的道藏经书，他才这般巴巴的背负出来。小龙女微微一笑，尚未回答，周伯通突然身形晃动，抢到她身边，一伸臂便托着她腰，将她放上了箱顶。这一下身法既快，出手又奇，小龙女竟不及抗拒，身子已在木箱之上，不禁暗自佩服：“全真派号称天下武学正宗，果有过人之处，重阳宫的道人打不过我，只是没学到师门武功的精髓而已。” 这时杨过和一灯也均已认出是周伯通，只有慈恩生怕小龙女赶上，全神贯注的疾走，不知身后已多了一人。周伯通迈开大步跟随其后，低声道：“再奔半个时辰，他脚步便会慢下来。”小龙女笑道：“你怎知道？”周伯通道：“我跟他斗过脚力，从中原直追到西域，又从西域赶回中原，几万里跑了下来，哪能不知？”小龙女坐在箱上，平稳安适，犹胜骑马，低声笑道：“老顽童，你为甚么帮我？”周伯通道：“你模样儿讨人欢喜，又不似黄蓉那么刁钻古怪。我偷了你的蜜糖，你也不生气。” 这般奔了半个多时辰，果如周伯通所料，慈恩脚步渐慢。周伯通道：“去罢！”肩头推耸，将小龙女送出丈余，她养足力气，纵身奔跑，片刻间便越过慈恩身旁，侧过头来微微一笑。慈恩一惊，急忙加力。但两人轻功本在伯仲之间，现下一个休憩已久，一个却是一步没停过，相距越来越远，再也追赶不上。 慈恩生平两大绝技自负天下无对，但一日一夜之间，铁掌输于杨过，轻功输于小龙女，不由得大为沮丧，但觉双腿软软的不听使唤，暗自心惊：“难道我大限已到，连一个小姑娘也比不过了？”他昨晚恶性大发，出手打伤了师父，一直怔忡不安，这时用足全力追赶小龙女不上，更是心神恍惚，但觉天下事全是不可思议。 杨过在后头看得明白，见周伯通暗助小龙女胜过慈恩，颇觉有趣，加快脚步走到他身边，笑道：“周老前辈，多谢你啊。”周伯通道：“这裘千仞好久没见他了，怎么越老越胡闹，剃光了头做起和尚来？”杨过道：“他拜了一灯大师为师，你不知道么？”说着向后一指。周伯通大吃一惊，叫道：“段皇爷也来了么？”回头遥遥望见一灯，叫道：“出行不利，溜之大吉！”当即斜刺里窜出，钻进了树林。杨过也不知“段皇爷”是甚么，但见树分草伏，周伯通霎时间去得无影无踪，暗道：“这人行事之怪，真是天下少有。” 一灯见周伯通躲开，快步上前，见慈恩神情委顿，适才的刚勇强悍突然间不知去向，说道：“你对胜负之数，还是这般勘不破么？”慈恩惘然不语。一灯道：“有所欲即有所蔽。以你武功之强，若非一意争胜，岂能不知背后多了一人？”
四人加紧赶路，起初五日行得甚快，到第六日清晨，一灯伤势不轻，渐渐支持不住。杨过道：“大师还是暂且休息，保养身子为要。此去绝情谷已不在远，晚辈夫妇随慈恩大师赶去谷中，好歹也要救神僧和朱大叔出来。”一灯微笑道：“我留着可不放心。”稍停片刻，又道：“只怕谷中变故甚多，老僧还是亲去的好。”慈恩道：“弟子背负师父前往。”说着将一灯负在背上，大踏步而行。 午时过后，一行人来到谷口。杨过向慈恩道：“咱们是否要报明身份，让令妹出来迎接大师？”慈恩一怔，尚未回答，忽听得谷中隐隐传来兵刃相交之声。慈恩挂念妹子，生怕是她在和武三通等人交手，任谁一方伤了都不好，说道：“咱们快去制止动手要紧。”施展轻功向前急冲。他不识谷中道路，杨过一路指点。 四人奔到邻近，只见七八名绿衣弟子各执兵刃，守在一丛密林之外，兵刃声从密林中传将出来，却不见相斗之人。 绿衣弟子突见又有外敌攻到，发一声喊，冲将过来，奔到近处，认出了杨过和小龙女，一齐住足。领头的弟子上前两步，按剑说道：“主母请杨相公办的事，大功已成么？” 杨过反问道：“林中何人相斗？”那绿衣弟子不答，侧目凝视，不知他此来居心是善是恶。杨过微笑道：“小弟此来，并无恶意。公孙夫人安好？公孙姑娘安好？”那弟子心中去了几分敌意，道：“托福，主母和姑娘都好。”又问：“这两位大和尚是谁？各位和林中四个女子可是一路么？”杨过道：“四个女子，那是谁啊？”那弟子道：“四个女子分作两路闯进谷来，主母传令拦阻，她们大胆不听，现已分别引入情花坳中。哪知她们一见面，自己却打了起来。” 杨过听到“情花坳”三字，不禁一惊，猜不出四个女子是谁，倘是黄蓉、郭芙、完颜萍、耶律燕，四人怎会互斗？说道：“便烦引见一观，小弟若是相识，当可劝其罢斗，一同叩见谷主。”那弟子心想反正这四个女子已经被困，让你见识一下，也可知我绝情谷的厉害，便引四人走进密林。果见四个女子分作两对，正自激斗。 杨过和小龙女一见，暗暗心惊。原来四个女子立足处是一片径长两丈的圆形草地，外边密密层层的围满了情花，不论从哪个方位出来，都有八九丈地面生满情花。任你轻功再强，也决不能一跃而出，纵然跃至半路也是难能。 小龙女道：“是师姊！”南向而斗的两个女子一是李莫愁，另一个是她弟子洪凌波。两人各持长剑，想是李莫愁的拂尘在古墓中折断后，仓卒间不及重制。 敌对的两女一个手持柳叶刀，另一个兵刃似是一管洞箫，两人身形婀娜，步法迅捷，武功也自不弱，但和李莫愁相抗总是不及。杨过一惊：“是她们表姊妹俩？”这时洪凌波身子略侧，穿淡黄衫子的少女回过半面，穿浅紫衫的少女跟着斜身，正是程英和陆无双。 四人局处径长两丈的草地之中，便似擂台比武或斗室恶斗一般，地形有限，不能踏错半步，这么一来，武功较差的更是处处缚手缚脚。幸得李莫愁兵刃不顺手，洪凌波对陆无双顾念昔日之情，不肯猛下杀手，因此程陆二女虽处下风，还在勉力支持。 杨过问那领头的绿衣弟子道：“她们四人好端端的，怎会闯到这圆圈中去打架？”那绿衣人甚是得意，傲然道：“这是公孙谷主布下的奇径。我们把奸细逼进情花坳，再在进口处堆上情花，哪还能出来？”杨过急道：“她们都已中了情花之毒么？”那绿衣人道：“就算没中，也不久了。” 杨过心想：“凭你们的武功，怎能将李莫愁逼入情花坳中？啊，是了，定是使出带刀渔网阵绝恶的法门。倘若程陆二女再中情花之毒，世上已无药可救。”当即朗声说道：“程姊姊，陆姊姊，小弟杨过在此。你们身周花上有刺，剧毒无比，千万小心了。” 李莫愁早瞧出情花模样诡异，绿衣弟子既用花树拦路，其中必有缘故，因此一入情花坳后，便低声嘱咐洪凌波小心，须得远离花树。程英和陆无双也均乖巧伶俐，如何看不出来？四人料想花树中不是安有机关陷阱，便有毒箭暗器，这时听杨过一叫，对身周花树更增畏惧，向草地中心挤拢，近身而搏，斗得更加凶了。 程英和陆无双听得杨过到来，心下极喜，急欲和他相见，苦于敌人相逼极紧，难以脱身。李莫愁却想只有杀了两女，铺在情花上作垫脚石，方能踏着她们身子出去。杨过和小龙女之来，原使她大吃一惊，好在中间有情花相隔，他们不能过来援手，厉声喝道：“凌波，你再不出全力，自己的小命要送在这儿了。”洪凌波忙应道：“是！”剑上加劲，并力向程英刺去。 程英举箫挡架，李莫愁长剑向她咽喉疾刺。陆无双抢上提刀横架。李莫愁冷笑一声，长剑微晃，飞起左腿，踢中她的手腕。陆无双柳叶刀脱手飞出，跌入情花丛中。李莫愁长剑闪动，向程连刺三剑。程英招架不住，向后急退。她只要再退一步，左脚便得踏入花丛，陆无双惊叫：“表姊，不能再退。”李莫愁微笑道：“不能再退，那便上前罢！”说着斜后让开一步。程英明知她决无善意，但自己所站之处实在过于危险，只得跟着踏前。李莫愁冷笑道：“好大的胆子！”长剑抖动，闪出十余点银光，剑尖将她上半身尽数罩住了。 杨过在外瞧得明白，知是古墓派剑法的厉害招数，叫做“冷月窥人”，倘若不明这一招的来龙去脉，十九会尽全力守护上身，小腹便非中剑不可，眼见程英举箫在自己胸前削下，忙从地下拾起一块小石，放在拇指和中指之间，飕的一声，弹了出去，石子去势劲急，直取李莫愁双目。便在此时，李莫愁剑尖蓦地下指，离程英的小腹已不过数寸。她斗见石子飞到，不及挺剑杀敌，只得回剑击开石子。 杨过所使的正是黄药师传授的弹指神通功夫，但火候未到，只能声东击西，引敌回救。倘使黄药师亲自出手，这颗石子便击在李莫愁剑上，将长剑震落或震开，那就万无一失，但也亏得当时传了杨过这手功夫，他晚年所收的女弟子方始保住了性命，纵然如此，杨过和程英都已吓出了一身冷汗。 李莫愁见程英这一下死里逃生，本来白嫩的面颊吓
