Chapter 31 Chapter 31: Half a Panacea
Unfeeling Valley covers a very large area, surrounded by mountains, with a radius of more than 30,000 mu.The road is twists and turns, hills, screens, and valleys are obstructed, but Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv started to lighten their bodies, followed the map, and arrived in a short time. There were several big elm trees in front of them, covering each other with shade, and under the tree was a brick and tile building. The big kiln in the picture shows that the Indian monk and Zhu Ziliu were imprisoned here.
Yang Guo said to Xiao Longnv: "Wait here, I'll go in and have a look, the coal dust inside must be very dirty." He bowed and walked into the kiln door, stepping in, a gust of hot air rushed towards him, and then he heard someone He shouted: "Who is it?" Yang Guo said: "The owner of the valley has an order to pick up the prisoners."
The man came out from behind the brick wall and asked in surprise, "What?" Seeing that it was Yang Guo, he was even more surprised, and said, "You...you..." Seeing that it was a disciple in green clothes, Yang Guo said, "Master Gu ordered me to take that The monk and the scholar named Zhu go out." The disciple knew that he saved the owner of the valley, and he once said in public that he wanted him to be his son-in-law, and Lue made friends with him again. Dare to offend, and said: "But... Where is the token of the owner of the valley?" Yang Guo ignored it and said, "Lead me in and have a look." The man agreed, turned around and entered.
Across the brick wall, the heat became even hotter. Two rough laborers were moving piles of charcoal. Although it was severe cold at this time, the two men were shirtless and only wore a pair of bull shorts, sweating profusely from their bodies.The green-clothed disciple pushed away a big rock, revealing a small hole.Yang Guo looked into the first sheet, and saw that inside was a stone room about Zhang Jianfang, Zhu Ziliu was sitting facing the wall, stretching out his index finger, and was waving on the stone wall, obviously writing a book to entertain his heart, he saw his arms rising and falling gracefully, as if Very proud to write.That day, the Zhu monk was lying on the ground, not knowing how to live or die.Yang Guo called out, "Uncle Zhu, how are you?"
Zhu Ziliu turned his head and said with a smile: "I have friends coming from afar, isn't it okay to say that?" Yang Guo secretly admired him, thinking that he was trapped for many days, but he was still at ease, he was calm and content when he was in trouble, and he was indifferent when he was rescued. , I was far behind, and asked: "Is the old monk asleep?" After saying these words, my heart beat wildly, because Xiao Longnu's life and death were all entrusted to this Indian monk.Zhu Ziliu didn't answer, and after a while, he sighed softly: "Uncle Shi, his old man's ability to resist cold and heat is far beyond my ability, but he..."
Yang Guo listened to his words, it seemed that the Indian monk had encountered an accident, he was secretly startled, before he finished speaking, he turned his head to the disciple in green and said, "Quickly open the door and let them out." The disciple said strangely: "Where's the key? The owner of the key is in charge of it himself. If I ask you to release him, I will definitely hand over the key to you."
Yang Guo was impatient, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" He raised the black iron epee and slashed out, with a click, a big hole was pierced through the stone wall.The disciple yelled "Ah", and was stunned.Yang Guo stabbed three swords straight and cut twice horizontally, he actually opened the five-inch-circle window into a big hole that could allow one person to go in and out.
Zhu Ziliu shouted: "Brother Yang, congratulations on your great progress in martial arts!" He bent down and picked up the Indian monk, and sent him out through the hole.Yang Guo stretched out his hand to take it.Touching the warmth of the Indian monk's arm, my heart felt relieved, but then I saw his eyes closed tightly, and thought: "Ah, the dead people in this fire room are also very hot." He stretched out his hand to check his breath, and felt that he was breathing slightly. .Zhu Ziliu then jumped out of the cave and said, "Uncle Master passed out, I think it's not a serious problem." Yang Guo blushed, and secretly called out, "I'm ashamed!" Whether his wife could be rescued, he asked: "Did the master faint from the heat? Go outside and get some air." He walked out with him in his arms.
When Xiao Longnu saw the three of them coming out, she was overjoyed to welcome them.Yang Guo said: "Find some cold water and pour it on Master's face." Zhu Ziliu said: "No, my uncle was poisoned by the love flower." Yang Guo was surprised and asked, "Is it serious?" Zhu Ziliu said: "I don't think it will be a nuisance, but my uncle took the flower thorns and pierced it." Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv were amazed, and asked together: "What are you doing?" Zhu Ziliu sighed: "My uncle said: This love flower has long been extinct in Tianzhu, and I don’t know how it was introduced to China. If it spreads, it will cause great disasters. In the past, countless people and animals in Tianzhu died under the poison of this flower. My uncle spent his life researching and curing poison. However, the poison of this love flower is too strange. When he entered this valley, he knew that the panacea might not be available, and even if he got it, it would only save one person. He vowed to find a prescription for detoxification and use it to help The public. He tested the poison with himself, and he had to know exactly how poisonous it was, so that he could prepare the medicine."
Yang Guo was amazed and admired at the same time, and said: "The Buddha said that I will not go to hell, who will go to hell? The master did not hesitate to go through great difficulties to save the world. It is really admirable." Zhu Ziliu said: "The ancients said, Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs, searched for medicines to save people, and because he took the wrong poison every now and then, his face turned green. My master uncle can also be said to have such a heart."
Yang Guo nodded and said, "That's right. I wonder when the old man will be able to wake up?" Zhu Ziliu said, "He took the flower thorn and stabbed himself, saying that if he expected it to be true, he would be able to wake up in three days and three nights. It's almost the same time. It's been two days." Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv looked at each other, both thought: "He was in a coma for three days and three nights, and he was extremely poisoned. Fortunately, the poison of this love flower varies from person to person, if the love between a man and a woman is touched in the heart, the poison will explode violently. Great. This great monk has all four things empty, but this section is better than ordinary people."
Xiao Longnv said: "Where did you find the love flowers in this kiln?" Zhu Ziliu said: "After the two of us were banned from the fire room, a young girl often came to visit..." Xiao Longnv Said: "But the one with tall figure, white and tender face, and a small mole near the corner of the mouth?" Zhu Ziliu said, "Exactly." Miss. She heard that the two of you came here to ask for medicine for Yang Guo, so she looked at her differently. Apart from not daring to release him, you can give whatever you want." Zhu Ziliu said, "Exactly. Uncle Master asked her to break Love Flower Flower Branch, I asked her to send a message to go out to ask for help, and she agreed one by one. This fire room stipulates that there is a time of burning fire every day, and because she breaks through it, the fire is not strong, so we can resist it. I often ask her Who it is, she always refuses to say, unexpectedly it is the daughter of the owner of the valley." Xiao Longnv said: "The reason why we were able to find this place was also guided by this girl."
Yang Guo said, "Master Yideng is here too." Zhu Ziliu was overjoyed and said, "Ah, let's go out." Yang Guo frowned slightly, and said, "Even Monk Ci'en is here, I'm afraid there will be some trouble." Zhu Ziliu wondered: "Senior brother Ci'en is here, wouldn't that be good? When his brothers and sisters meet each other, Master Qiu Gu can't help but miss this friendship." Although he is more advanced than Ci'en, Ci'en's martial arts and his status in the world are originally equal. He can stand shoulder to shoulder with Master Yideng, Diancang Yuyin and Zhu Ziliu respect him, and they all respect him as a senior brother.Zhu Ziliu asked Lue to send a message to ask for help, originally hoping that Ci'en would come and the two families could reconcile, but Yang Guo said that it would increase the trouble, he was very puzzled.
Yang Guo briefly described Ci'en's mental disorder and the situation where Qiu Qianchi's words provoked him.Zhu Ziliu said: "Mrs. Guo is in the valley. It is the best. She is resourceful and resourceful. She is unparalleled in the world. Besides, my master is in charge of the overall situation. Brother Yang, your martial arts are as advanced as others, so there is no other way. I am worried about my uncle. Body." Yang Guo also felt that the safety of the Indian monks was the top priority, and said, "Let's find a place and wait for the master to recover. My husband and I will guard it with Uncle Zhu." Zhu Ziliu pondered, "But where is it?" Okay?" After pondering for a long time, I always felt that this Valley of Unrequited Love is full of secrets, and it is difficult to find a safe place to rest, so I thought, "Here it is."
Yang Guo was startled, understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhu said it is very clever, this place looks dangerous, but it is actually the safest place in the valley, as long as the few green-clothed disciples who live here are guarded, make them Just don’t leak any secrets.” Zhu Ziliu stretched out his hand and pointed, smiled and said, “It’s easy.” Picking up the Indian monk, he said, “We are as safe as a rock in this kiln, so please ask Brother Yang and his wife to help our teacher. A helping hand."
Yang Guo remembered that Yideng had not recovered from his serious injury, and kindness, goodness and evil are unpredictable. If he only guarded the Indian monk, it would be too selfish, and he felt uneasy. Back out the old way.
The two passed by a large clump of love flowers, it was extremely cold at that time, although the love flowers were not gorgeous, the leaves had all fallen, leaving only the bare branches, which were very ugly, and the branches were full of sharp thorns.
Yang Guo suddenly thought of Li Mochou, and said: "Love is a thing, sometimes it is very beautiful, sometimes it is also very ugly, just like your senior sister. The spring flowers wither early, but the sharp thorns can still kill people." Xiaolong The woman said: "But I hope that the divine monk can prepare a wonderful medicine for treating the flower poison. Not only will you be cured, but my senior sister will also be saved."
In Yang Guo's heart, he hoped that the Indian monk would cure Xiao Longnu's visceral poison first, he thought that the Indian monk would wake up after coma, but if he didn't wake up and finally died, then what would happen?Looking at his wife with infinite tenderness in his heart, suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his chest.He knew it was because the flower poison had deepened just now to save Sister Cheng Lu, and he was afraid that the little dragon girl would feel sorry for him, so he turned his head and looked at those bare flower branches, thinking of the joy of love and the pain of life and death, he couldn't help but become infatuated.
At this time, there was another scene in the hall of Heartless Valley.Qiu Qianchi's words provoked his brother, and his tone became more and more severe.Master Yideng didn't say a word, and let Ci'en decide on his own.Ci'en looked at her sister, at her master, and at Huang Rong. One is a sibling, one is a teacher who preaches the Dharma, and the other is a revenge for killing a brother. There are ups and downs in his heart, good and evil are in conflict, how can he make up his mind?The major events from childhood to old age have been going back and forth in his mind. Sometimes tears are shining, and sometimes there is a smile on the corner of his mouth. The fight in his heart is more intense than any fierce battle in his life.
Seeing that Yang Guo didn't come back for a long time after leaving the hall, Lu Wushuang gently tugged at Cheng Ying's sleeves, and walked out of the hall quietly.Cheng Ying followed.Lu Wushuang said: "Where did the idiot go?" Cheng Ying didn't answer, but said: "He has flower poison in his body, I don't know how the injury is?" Lu Wushuang said: "Yes!" He was also very worried, and suddenly said: Unexpectedly, he finally and his master..." Cheng Ying said sadly: "This girl Long is so beautiful and kind, and only such a talent is worthy of Brother Yang." Lu Wushuang said: "How do you know this? How is Miss Long? You haven't even said a few words to her."
Suddenly, a woman's voice behind her said coldly: "She's not lame, so she's fine." Lu Wushuang stretched out his hand and pulled out the lancet, turned around, and saw that it was Guo Fu who spoke.
Seeing her draw her saber, Guo Fu hurriedly pulled out the long sword from Yeluqi's waist behind her, glared at her, and shouted, "Do you want to do it?"
Lu Wushuang grinned and said, "Why don't you use your own sword?" She was lame when she was young, and it was a big hate, and no one else mentioned it in front of her, but this time when she quarreled with Guo Fu, she was called "lame" several times As a sarcasm, he was extremely angry in his heart, so he retorted at the other party's broken sword.Guo Fu said angrily: "I'll use other people's swords to teach you martial arts." As she said the long sword slashing in vain, there was a constant buzzing sound.Lu Wushuang said: "It's not the same, it turns out that the children of the Guo family are so rude to the elders. Well, I will teach you a lesson today, so that you can know what is good." Guo Fu said: "Bah, what kind of elder are you?" Lu Wushuang smiled and said: "My cousin is your uncle. If you don't call me aunt, you have to call me aunt. You can ask my cousin!" He pointed to Cheng Ying.
Guo Fu called Cheng Ying "Master Uncle" by her mother's order. She was really unconvinced in her heart. She secretly blamed her grandfather for accepting such a young apprentice casually, and thought that Cheng Ying might not have any skills at the same age as herself. At this time, he gave Lu Wushuang a top and said: "Who knows if it's true or not? My grandfather is famous all over the world, and I don't know how many shameless people want to pretend to be his disciples and grandchildren."
Although Cheng Ying is gentle by nature, she couldn't help being a little angry when she heard this, but at this moment, she was thinking about Yang Guo's safety wholeheartedly, and she didn't intend to fight for such leisure, so she said, "Cousin, let's find... Brother Yang." Lu Wushuang nodded He turned his head and said to Guo Fu: "Do you understand? Didn't she call me my cousin? Guo Daxia and Huang Gangzhu are famous all over the world, and I don't know how many shameless people want to pretend to be his two sons and daughters!" He said hehe Sneered, turned and left.
Guo Fu was stunned, and thought: "Who wants to pretend to be my parents' children?" But then she came to her senses: "Ah! She is calling me a bastard, calling me not my parents' daughter?" Once she understood her The meaning in the language, how can you be patient?Leaping forward, he straightened his sword and stabbed at her back.
Lu Wushuang heard the sound of the blade breaking through the wind, and turned back to block the blow. When there was a sound, his arm felt slightly numb.Guo Fu shouted: "Are you calling me a bastard?" The long sword made repeated moves.Lu Wushuang blocked the fight from the left to the right, and said with a sneer, "Hero Guo is a loyal elder, and Gang Leader Huang is the daughter of the Lord of Taohua Island. How superb are the two of them..." Guo Fu said, "Is there anything else to say? You don't need to praise My parents came to please me." She only thought that Lu Wushuang sincerely praised her parents, and the sword move slowed down, but then Lu Wushuang continued: "What about you? You cut off Brother Yang's arm, indiscriminately Wronging a good person, what is the similarity between this behavior and Guo Daxia and his wife? It makes people suspicious." Guo Fu said: "What are you suspicious of?" Lu Wushuang said darkly: "Think about it yourself."
Yeluqi stood at the side, knowing that Guo Fu was straightforward and far inferior to Lu Wushuang's cleverness, and he would definitely lose in the battle of words. After hearing a few words, Guo Fu couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Miss Guo, don't talk to her anymore. " He saw that Guo Fu's martial arts were superior to Lu Wushuang's, if he didn't speak but only used hands, he would definitely win.Unexpectedly, when Guo Fu was furious, she didn't understand his intention, and said, "Don't worry about it! I want to ask her to understand."
Lu Wushuang glared at Yeluqi, and said: "The dog bit Lu Dongbin, you will have to suffer in the future." Yeluqi blushed, knowing that Lu Wushuang had seen that he had feelings for Guo Fu, these words That is to say, this girl is so unreasonable, I'm afraid you will have endless troubles.
Guo Fu caught a glimpse of Yeluqi's blushing suddenly, became suspicious, and asked: "Are you also suspicious that I am not my mother's biological daughter?" Yeluqi said: "No, no, let's go and ignore her." Lu Wushuang snatched He said: "Of course he is suspicious, otherwise why would you want to leave quickly?" Guo Fu blushed and said nothing.Yeluqi had no choice but to speak clearly, and said: "This girl Lu speaks harshly, if you want to compete with her, you don't need to say more." Lu Wushuang hurriedly said: "He said you are stupid, talking too much will only make you look ugly."
At this time, Guo Fu already had feelings for Yeluqi, so she was worried about gains and losses. Even if someone else said a word for no reason, as long as it involved the person she liked, they would inevitably have to think it over and over again. Hearing what Lu Wushuang said, Yelv Qi really underestimated himself.She was doted on by her parents since she was a child, and her two little companions, the Wu brothers, were obedient to her. Except for Yang Guo who occasionally contradicted her, she had never had such a quarrel with anyone. Being at a disadvantage, she already knew that she would only be hurt by the other party if she continued speaking, and cursed: "If I don't cut off your other foot, I'm not surnamed Guo." .Lu Wushuang said: "You don't need to cut off my feet, your surname is no longer Guo, who knows your surname is Zhang and Li?" He beat around the bush, still calling her a "wild species".While speaking, the two swords clashed, and the fight was very fierce.
Guo Jing and his wife taught their daughter the best kung fu.These martial arts start from the foundation, and it is difficult to achieve them quickly.Guo Fu's talent and savvy are more like her father than her mother, so although she has a good foundation and learned authentic martial arts, but the fire is not yet ready, and many powerful killers are still unusable. If so, Lu Wushuang is not her after all. The opponent, in addition to the lame left foot, is not very flexible when the vertical jump retreats.Guo Fu was furious, and her tricks were all aimed at attacking her lower body, the sword was shining, and she deliberately stabbed her right leg again.
Cheng Ying watched from the side, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she thought to herself: "Although my cousin scolds people harshly, this girl Guo is too arrogant. No wonder his right arm will be cut off by her. If the fight continues, my cousin's right arm will be cut off." The legs are hard to keep." Seeing Lu Wushuang kept backing up, Guo Fu was stalking forward, suddenly there was a chirp, a cut was made in Lu Wushuang's skirt, and then she yelled softly: "Ah yo!" He staggered back, his face pale.Guo Fu took two steps forward and swept away with her legs.Cheng Ying saw that she was victorious and continued to press, Lu Wushuang was already in a dangerous situation, so she went up lightly, stopped her with both hands, and said: "Miss Guo is sympathetic." Guo Fu picked up the sword and saw a bloodstain on the blade, knowing Lu Wushuang Wushuang's leg was already injured, and he pointed at her triumphantly and said, "Miss teaches you a lesson today, so that you will not dare to talk nonsense in the future."
Lu Wushuang's leg was in pain, and he said angrily, "But with your sword, can you seal the mouths of the world?" She knew that Guo Fu was proud of her parents, but she accused her of not being the daughter of Guo Jing and Huang Rong.Guo Fu shouted: "What did the people of the world say?" Taking a step forward, she sent out the long sword, intending to point the sword point at her chest.
Cheng Ying was caught in the middle, seeing the long sword being handed over, she stretched out three fingers, resting on the flat surface of the blade, gently pushed aside, swung the long sword away, and persuaded: "Cousin, Miss Guo, we are here At risk, don't engage in these pointless disputes."
Guo Fu stabbed out with her sword, and gave her a light push with her bare hands, but she swung away, startled and angry, and shouted: "You want to help her, don't you? Well, well, I'm not afraid of the two of you against me, just draw your troops." Cut the blade!" He pointed the long sword at Cheng Ying's chest, wanting to stab or not, and waited for her to draw out the jade flute around her waist.
Cheng Ying smiled lightly and said: "I advise you not to quarrel, how could you come to quarrel too? Brother Yelu, come and persuade Miss Guo too!" Yeluqi said: "That's right, Miss Guo, we are in enemy territory, It's better to be careful everywhere." Guo Fu said anxiously: "Okay, you don't help me, but help outsiders." Seeing Cheng Ying's elegant and pleasant appearance, she suddenly thought: "Could it be that he has taken a fancy to her?" Yelu Qi didn't guess what she was thinking at all, and continued: "The monk Ci'en is a bit weird, let's take a look at the Lingtang."
Lu Wushuang only heard Guo Fu's words, saw the look on her face, and immediately guessed what she was thinking, and said: "My cousin is more beautiful than you, gentler than you, and better in martial arts than you, you must definitely Be careful!" Each of these four sentences pierced Guo Fu's mind, her heart was shaken, and she asked, "What should I be careful about?" Lu Wushuang sneered, "Unless I'm a fool, I don't like my cousin but love you." Come to like you! You are arrogant, what's so good?" These two sentences are too obvious, how can Guo Fu bear it?The long sword swung around Cheng Ying and stabbed at Lu Wushuang's flank.
This move of hers is called "Jade Leak Causing the Silver Arrow", it is a special skill passed down from Huang Rong's family, the sword's edge forms an arc and strikes sideways, it seems that the castration is not in a hurry, but the point of the sword covers a very wide area, unless the martial arts are higher than hers Opponents use weapons to fight hard, otherwise it is extremely difficult to dodge.Cheng Ying frowned, and thought: "Why did this girl use such vicious tricks? Even if my cousin offended you verbally, she is not a deadly enemy after all, so how can she kill you regardless of the severity?" Fortunately, Huang Yaoshi had also taught her this way of swordsmanship, so he knew the direction of this move clearly, and immediately raised his middle finger, waiting for Guo Fu's sword to draw an arc, there was a soft clang, and the long sword fell to the ground.
Although Cheng Ying used the "supernatural power of flicking the fingers" kung fu, the power she gained was purely skillful, because she knew the opponent's sword move in advance, and it came out at the moment when Guo Fu's sword's strength became empty, otherwise her two kung fu would only be ingenious. Between brothers and sisters, one finger alone cannot flick the weapon away from Guo Fu's hand.She stepped forward with her left foot to step on the long sword, and Yu Xiao made a move, aiming at the acupoints on Guo Fu's waist.The three moves of flicking the sword, stepping on the sword, and pointing the acupuncture points were all done in one go. Guo Fu was caught by her, and she was in an extremely awkward situation. It was like leaning over to grab the sword. One of the acupuncture points on her waist must be hit, but if she jumped back and dodged, The long sword is determined by others.Although her martial arts are not weak, but she has little experience in front of battle, her pretty face flushed all of a sudden, and she couldn't make up her mind.
Yeluqi shouted: "Hey, girl, why are you stepping on the ground with my weapon?" With sideways long arms, he came to grab Yuxiao.Cheng Ying retracted her arms, turned around and took Lu Wushuang's arm, and left.Guo Fu hurriedly grabbed the long sword, and shouted: "Go slowly, you and I will make good gestures." Lu Wushuang turned back and smiled, "We still make gestures..." Cheng Ying raised his arm and led her to jump three steps, and the two of them Already several zhang away, Lu Wushuang couldn't finish that sentence.
Yeluqi said: "Miss Guo, she succeeded with one move by chance, but in fact, the two of you won't win or lose." Guo Fu said bitterly, "Yes, my sword made an arc, but before I stabbed out, she took advantage of the gap and pointed out. I can't tell she's so cunning even though she's gentle and gentle." Yeluqi said "Yes", he was upright and didn't want to pretend to please him, and said: "Miss Cheng is not weak in martial arts, if you fight her again next time, Do not underestimate the enemy."
Guo Fu heard him praise Cheng Ying, a dark cloud passed between her eyebrows, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Do you think her martial arts are good?" Yeluqi said: "Yes." Guo Fu said angrily: "Then don't talk to me, Go talk to her." He said and turned around.Yeluqi said anxiously: "I advise you not to underestimate the enemy, and I want you to be careful. Is that helping you or helping her?" Guo Fu heard that the meaning of his words was to defend herself, so she couldn't help smiling.Yeluqi said: "Didn't I grab the sword for you? Do you still blame me?" Guo Fu turned around and said, "Blame you, blame you, blame you!" But her face was full of smiles.
Yeluqi was overjoyed, suddenly he heard roars coming from the hall, choking, choking, and the sound of iron objects colliding incessantly.Guo Fu exclaimed: "Ah, take a look." She had listened to Qiu Qianchi rambling on and on, talking about events from decades ago, but she didn't know that every sentence contained a hidden danger, the more she listened to it, the more bored she became. , slipped out, but got into a fight with Sister Cheng Lu for no reason. At this moment, she suddenly heard a loud noise, and she missed her mother, so she ran back to the hall.
I saw Master Yideng sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, holding a rosary, chanting the Buddha's name, with a solemn and kind face.Monk Ci'en was running around in circles on the hall, roaring fiercely from time to time. He was wearing a pair of handcuffs, but the iron chain connecting the two handcuffs had been broken.Qiu Qianchi was sitting in the middle, her face was livid, she was ugly to begin with, but now she was even more hideous.Huang Rong, Wu Santong and others stood in a corner of the hall, watching Ci'en's movement. Ci'en ran for a while, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and white air rose from the top of his head like a steamer. The white air became thicker and thicker, and he ran faster and faster.Yideng suddenly raised his breath and shouted: "Ci'en, Ci'en, the distinction between good and evil, you still can't comprehend it?" Qiu Qianchi shouted: "E'er, help uncle up quickly." Gongsun Lu'e stepped forward to help him up, Ci'en opened his eyes, saw Lu'e's face was only a foot away in front of him, looked out in a daze, but saw her long With thin eyebrows and green temples and jade face, it was vaguely the appearance of a girl back then. She shouted: "Third sister, where am I?" Lue said: "Uncle, I am Lue." Ci'en murmured: "Uncle, Who is your uncle? Who is your name?" Qiu Qianchi yelled, "Second Brother, she is your third sister's daughter. She wants you to take her to see First Uncle." Ci'en was startled and said, "My elder brother? You can't see him anymore. He has fallen to pieces on Tiezhang Peak, and there is no bones left." He jumped up, pointed at Huang Rong and shouted: "Huang Rong, my elder brother was killed by you." Damn, you...you...you pay for his life!" After Guo Fu entered the living room, she leaned against her mother, took the girl and hugged her in her arms, and suddenly saw Ci En pointing at her mother and scolding her so viciously, she couldn't bear it any longer, walked up a few steps, and said, "Monk, no matter how rude you are, The girl can't tolerate you." Qiu Qianchi sneered and said: "This little girl is quite bold..." Ci'en said: "Who are you?" Guo Fu said: "Guo Daxia is my father, and Chief Huang is my mother." Who is it?" Guo Fu said, "It's my sister." Ci'en said sharply, "Hmph, Guo Jing and Huang Rong actually gave birth to two children." Huang Rong heard the difference in his voice, and shouted: "Fu'er, get back!" Seeing Ci'en going crazy, Guo Fu didn't move after talking for a long time, guessing that he was afraid of his mother, she had no fear of him in her heart, and instead left Taking a step forward, he said with a smile: "If you have the ability, take revenge quickly, and if you don't, keep your mouth shut!" Ci'en shouted: "If you have the ability, take revenge!" This shout was like a thunderbolt in mid-air, only the teacups on the table could be heard rattling.Guo Fu never expected that a person could make such a noise, she was startled and couldn't help but be at a loss, but seeing Ci'en's left palm slapped, and her right hand was grasped, attacking at the same time. Finally escaped, but where is there still time? Huang Rong, Wu Santong and Yeluqi all went up simultaneously.The three of them could see at a glance that although the grasp of Ci'en's right hand was ferocious, it was far less powerful than the one touch of his left palm, so they all struck at his left palm with three palms.With a bang, the four palms collided. Ci En let out a hey sound and stood still.Huang Rong and the other three took a few steps back at the same time.Yeluqi's internal energy is the weakest, and he has retreated the farthest, followed by Huang Rong.Before she stabilized her figure, she looked at her daughter first, and saw that Guo Xiang had been captured by Ci'en, but Guo Fu stood there dumbfounded, so frightened that she even forgot to dodge.Huang Rong was taken aback: "Could it be that Fu'er was injured by the palm force after all?" Immediately, she stretched out her left hand to pull her back, and protected her body with the dog-beating stick with her right hand. So fierce, he couldn't hurt her for a while.Guo Fu was actually not injured, but her heart was in a state of confusion, until she leaned against her mother, and then she cried out "Ah". At this time, the Wu brothers, Yeluyan, Wanyanping and others saw that Ci'en had finally made a move, and each drew their weapons.Qiu Qianchi's disciples also dispersed one after another, waiting for the order from the owner of the valley, they stepped forward to besiege.Only Master Yideng was still sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, oblivious to the changes around him, chanting Buddhist scriptures, his voice was quiet but very clear. Ci'en raised Guo Xiang and shouted: "This is the daughter of Guo Jing and Huang Rong. I will kill this girl first, and then Huang Rong!" Qiu Qianchi was overjoyed and shouted: "Good second brother! This is the world-renowned Iron Palm Shuishang Leader Piaoqiu!" In this situation, let alone Huang Rong and others, no one is better than Ci En in martial arts, even if there is someone who is better than him, it will be difficult to rescue the baby from this half-crazy person. Guo Fu suddenly yelled: "Yang Guo, Brother Yang, come and save my sister." She encountered catastrophe several times, but it was Yang Guo who rescued her by surprise. Come and save.But at this time, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv were meeting secretly, the two of them walked slowly hand in hand, watching the sunset in the Valley of Unrequited Love, who would have thought that the situation in the hall would be so tight. Ci'en held Guo Xiang high above her head with her right hand, protected her body with her left palm, and said with a sneer, "Yang Guo? Who is Yang Guo? Even if Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, Beibei, and Zhongshentong come here together, it is only a matter of time." It can hurt my life, Qiu Qianren, but it can't save this little girl." Yideng raised his head slowly, looked at Ci'en, but saw that his eyes were full of red threads, full of murderous intent, and said: "You want to seek revenge from others, and they come to seek revenge from you, so what?" Ci'en shouted "Whoever has the guts, come here!" At this time, it was almost dusk, and when the twilight entered the hall, there was a sense of haze in everyone's eyes, and Ci'en's face looked even more sinister. All of a sudden, Huang Rong could be heard laughing loudly, the laughter fluctuated up and down, like a lunatic.Everyone couldn't help being horrified.Guo Fu shouted: "Mom!" Wu Santong and Yeluqi shouted together: "Mrs. Guo!" Everyone's hearts were pounding, they all thought that her daughter would fall into the enemy's hands, so they lost their minds.But seeing her throw the dog-beating stick to the ground, take two steps, and untangle her hair, her laughter became shriller and shriller.Guo Fu called out: "Mom!" and stepped forward to pull her arm.Huang Rong flicked her right hand, causing her to fall a few steps, then opened her arms, laughed shrilly, and walked towards Ci'en. This time, even Qiu Qianchi was totally unexpected, staring at him with surprise and uncertainty. Huang Rong stretched her arms, glared at Ci'en viciously, and shouted: "Shoot this child to death, I'll hit her on the back hard, there's no mercy." Ci'en turned pale, and hugged Guo Xiang in her arms, Said: "You...you...who are you?" Huang Rong laughed loudly, and threw her arms forward.Although Ci'en's left palm was in front of him, he didn't dare to attack, he slid two steps to the side, and asked again: "Who are you?" Huang Rong said sadly: "Have you forgotten all about it? That night in the Dali Palace, you caught a child. That's right, that's it...that's it...you made him half-dead, and finally couldn't survive ...I am the mother of this child. You kill this child quickly, kill this child quickly, why don't you do it?" When Ci'en heard this, her whole body trembled, and the past decades ago suddenly came to mind. Back then when he injured the child of Concubine Liu Gui of Dali Kingdom, he asked Southern Emperor Duan Huangye to sacrifice several years of martial arts to heal the injury, but Duan Huangye couldn't bear to cure him, and the child finally died.Later Concubine Liu Guifei Yinggu and Ci'en met twice, and they wanted to hug him like a mad tiger and die together.Although Ci En's martial arts are high, she dared not resist, so she fled in despair.Huang Rong was on Qinglongtan, at the top of Mount Hua, and had heard Yinggu's crazy laughter twice, and witnessed her crazy appearance, and knew that this was Ci'en's biggest heart disease in her life. Immediately took the risk, but told him to kill Guo Xiang.Wu Santong, Qiu Qianchi, Yeluqi and others all said that she was crazy, so she spoke incoherently.Only Yideng secretly admired Huang Rong's great wisdom and courage, thinking that even a first-class man may not have such courage, even if some people can think of such a strategy, they must not dare to say "quickly kill this child" Exiting the door, seeing that Ci'en was so resentful, fierce and terrifying, wouldn't he immediately kill Guo Xiang with a light slap? Ci'en looked at Huang Rong, then at a lamp, and then at the child in her hand, suddenly overwhelmed with regret, sobbing: "Dead! Dead! A good child, I beat him to death alive. Walked slowly to Huang Rong, handed Guo Xiang over, and said, "I killed the child, you kill me to kill me!" Huang Rong was so happy that she stretched out her hand to take it, only to hear a lamp shout: "Repay the injustice." , when will it be done? When will you throw away the butcher knife in your hand?" Ci'en was startled, her hands loosened, and Guo Xiang fell straight to the ground. Before Guo Xiang landed on the ground, Huang Rong stretched out her right foot, kicked the child flying out, and at the same time laughed wildly and shouted: "The child was killed by you, okay, okay, it's so wonderful." The foot seemed to be exerting force, but it touched Guo Xiang's body, but the back of the foot was only gently supported by the baby's waist, and then gently sent out.She knew that this was an urgent juncture, if she bent over to pick up her daughter, maybe Ci En's mind would change again. Guo Xiang flew steadily towards Yeluqi in mid-air.He stretched out his arms to catch it, but he saw Guo Xiang's black eyes rolled continuously, he opened his small mouth and was about to cry loudly, the dragon was jumping alive, it didn't look like he was injured in the slightest, he was startled for a moment, and immediately understood, he expected Huang Rong to know Guo Fu was reckless, so she threw the little girl to herself, and immediately stretched out her hand to press the baby's mouth lightly, preventing her from crying, and shouted: "Ah, the little girl was killed by this monk." Ci'en's face was ashes, and he realized everything in an instant. He bowed to Yideng and said, "Thank you, monk for enlightening you!" out.Qiu Qianchi shouted anxiously: "Second brother, second brother, come back!" Ci'en turned her head and said, "You asked me to come back, but I asked you to come back!" After saying that, he waved his sleeves and floated out of the hall.Yideng beamed with joy, and said: "Okay, okay, okay!" He retreated to the corner of the hall, lowered his head and eyebrows, and said nothing more. Huang Rong rolled up her hair and hugged Guo Xiang from Yeluqi's hand.Seeing that her mother was normal and her sister was fine, Guo Fu was surprised and happy, threw herself into her mother's arms, and said, "Mom, I thought you really went crazy!" Huang Rong walked up to Yideng, bowed, and said: "My niece was forced to bring up the past, please forgive me." Yideng said with a smile: "Rong'er, Rong'er, she is really Zhuge Ye!" Among the people in the hall, only Wu Santong vaguely knew some old things, The rest are all at a loss. Qiu Qianchi saw that things had turned to this stage, watched his brother's back finally disappear outside the screen door, and expected that he would never see each other again in this life, he couldn't help feeling sore in his chest, savoring his "You called me back, but I called you back" What?" That sentence seemed to persuade him to rein in the precipice and turn his head to the shore, and felt a faint sense of melancholy and regret in his heart; but the regret was fleeting, and then proudly said: "Everyone wait here, the old lady excuse me." Huang Rong said : "Wait a minute! Our visit today is to seek the Unfeeling Pill..." Qiu Qianchi nodded to the people accompanying him.All the disciples whistled in unison, and four green-clothed disciples poured out from every doorway, holding high the fishing nets with sharp knives, blocking the way.The four maids lifted Qiu Qianchi's chair and retreated into the inner hall. 黄蓉、武三通、耶律齐等见到渔网阵的声势，心下暗惊，均想：“这渔网阵好不厉害，不知如何方能破得？”便这么一迟疑，大厅前门后门一齐轧轧关上，众绿衣弟子缩身退出。武氏兄弟仗剑外冲，砰的一声，大门合拢，两兄弟的双剑夹在门缝之中，登时折断，看来大门竟是钢铁所铸。黄蓉低声道：“不须惊惶！出厅不难，但咱们得想个法儿，如何破那带刀渔网，如何盗药救人？”
公孙绿萼随着母亲进了内堂，问道：“妈，怎么办？”裘千尺见兄长已去，对方好手云集，知道此事甚为棘手，但杀兄大仇人既然到来，决不能就此屈服，好言善罢，微一沉吟，说道：“你去瞧瞧，杨过和那三个女子在干甚么。”此言正合绿萼心意，她点头答应，向“火浣室”而去。 行到半路，听到前面有人说话，正是杨过的声音，接着小龙女回答了一句，好似说到“公孙姑娘”四字。这时天已全黑，绿萼往道旁柳树丛中一闪，心道：“不知她在说我些甚么？”放轻脚步，悄悄走近，见杨过和小龙女并肩站立，听杨过道：“你说此事全仗公孙姑娘从中周旋，委实不错。但愿神僧早日醒转，大家释仇解怨，邪毒尽除岂不是妙？……啊哟！”这“啊哟”一声惊呼突如其来，绿萼吓了一跳，不知杨过蓦地里遇上了甚么怪事。 她心中关切，情不自禁的探头张望，朦胧中只见杨过摔倒在地，小龙女俯身扶着他的左臂。杨过背部抽搐颤动，似在强忍痛楚。小龙女低声道：“是情花之毒发作了吗？”杨过只是呻吟：“嗯……嗯……”竟痛得牙关难开。绿萼大是怜惜，心想：“他已服了半枚丹药，再服半枚，情花之毒便解。这半枚灵丹，说甚么也得去向妈妈要来。” 过了片刻，杨过站起身来，吁了一口长气。小龙女道：“你每次发作相距越来越近，更是一次比一次厉害。那神僧尚须一日方能醒转，便算他能配解药，也未必……也未必……你这番苦楚，可也难受得很啊。”她本想说“也未必来得及”，但终于改了口。杨过苦笑道：“这位公孙老太太性子执拗之极，她的解药又藏得隐秘异常，若非她自愿给我，否则便是将谷中老幼尽数杀了，钢刀架在她颈中，也是决计不肯拿出来的。”小龙女道：“我倒有个法子。”杨过早猜到她的心意，说道：“龙儿，你再也休提此言。你我夫妻情深爱笃，若能白头偕老，自然谢天谢地，如有不测，那也是命数使然。咱两人之间决不容有第三人拦入。”小龙女呜咽道：“那公孙姑娘……我瞧她人很好啊，你便听了我的话罢。” 绿萼心中大震，知道小龙女在劝杨过娶了自己，以便求药活命。只听杨过朗声一笑，道：“公孙姑娘自然是好。其实天下好女子难道少了？那程英姑娘，陆无双姑娘，也是重情笃义之人。只是你我既然两心如一，怎容另有他念？你再设身处地想想，若有一个男人能解你体内剧毒，却要你委身以事，你肯不肯啊？”小龙女道：“我是女子，自作别论。”杨过笑道：“旁人重男轻女，我杨过却是重女轻男……”说到此处，忽听得树丛后簌的一声响，杨过问道：“是谁？” 绿萼只道被他发觉了踪迹，正要应声，忽听一个女子的声音说道：“傻蛋，是我！”只见陆无双和程英从树丛后的小路上转了出来。绿萼乘机悄悄退开，心中思潮起伏不定：“别说和龙姑娘相比，便是这程陆二位姑娘，她们的品貌武功，过去和他的交情，又岂是我所能及？”她自见杨过，便不由自主的对他一往情深，先前固已知他对小龙女情义深重，但内心隐隐存了二女共事一夫的念头，此刻听了这番话，更知相思成空，已成定局。她自幼便郁郁寡欢，今日万念俱灰，决意不想活了，漫步向西走去。
她神不守舍，信步所之，浑不知身在何处，心中一个声音只是说：“我不想活了，我不想活了！” 也不知走了多少时候，山石彼端忽然隐隐传来说话的声音。绿萼一凝神间，不禁微微一惊，原来神魂颠倒的乱走，竟已到了谷西自来极少人行之处，抬头见一座山峰冲天而起，正是谷中绝险之地的绝情峰。 这山峰腰有一处山崖，不知若干年代之前有人在崖上刻了“断肠崖”三字，自此而上，数十丈光溜溜的寸草不生，终年云雾环绕，天风猛烈，便飞鸟也甚难在峰顶停足。山崖下临深渊，自渊口下望，黑黝黝的深不见底。“断肠崖”前后风景清幽，只因地势实在太险，山石滑溜，极易掉入深渊，谷中居民相戒裹足，便是身负武功的众绿衣弟子也轻易不敢来此，却不知是谁在此说话？ 公孙绿萼本来除死以外已无别念，这时却起了好奇心，于是隐身山石之后侧耳倾听，一听之下，心中怦的一跳，原来说话之人竟是父亲。她父亲虽然对不起母亲，对她也是冷酷无情，但母亲以枣核钉射瞎了他一目，又将他逐出绝情谷，绿萼念起父女之情，时时牵挂，此刻忽又听到了这熟悉的声音，才知他并未离开绝情谷，却躲在这人迹罕至之处，想来身子也无大碍，登时心下暗喜。 只听他说道：“你遍体鳞伤，我损却一目，都是因杨过这小贼而起，咱俩不但敌忾同仇，也是同病相怜。”说着笑了起来，对方却并不回答。绿萼颇感奇怪，暗想父亲是在跟谁说话啊？听他语气中微带轻薄之意，难道对方是个女子么？ 只听得公孙止又道：“咱们在这人迹罕至的所在相逢，可说是天意，当真是有缘千里来相会。”一个女人“呸”的一声，嗔道：“我全身为情花刺伤，你半点也没放在心上，尽说些风话，拿人取笑。”绿萼心道：“啊，原来是今日闯进谷来的李莫愁。”只听公孙止忙道：“不，不，我怎不放在心上？自然要尽力设法。你身上痛，我心里更痛。” 与公孙止说话的正是李莫愁。她遍身为情花所刺，中毒着实不轻，幸好她满腔愤怒憎恨，怨天尤人，不动男女之情，身上倒无多大痛楚，但知花毒厉害，亟于寻觅解药，谷中道路错综，乱走乱撞，竟到了断肠崖前。公孙止却在此已久，他有意来此僻静之处，以便避过谷中诸人，然后俟机害死裘千尺，重夺谷主之位。两人曾交过手，都知对方武功了得，见面后均想：“我正有事于谷中，何不倚他为助？”三言两语，竟尔说得甚是投契。 公孙止于当年所恋婢女柔儿死后，专心练武，女色上看得甚淡，但自欲娶小龙女而不可得，抑制已久的情欲突然如堤防溃决，不可收拾，以他堂堂武学大豪的身份竟致出手去强夺完颜萍，已与江湖上下三滥的行径无异，此时与李莫愁邂逅相遇，见她容貌端丽，心中又即动念：“杀了裘千尺那恶妇后，不如便娶这位道姑为妻，她容貌武功，无一不是上上之选，正可和我相配。”哪知李莫愁心地狠毒，用情却是极专，她一生恶孽，便是因“情”之一字而来，这时听公孙止言语越来越不庄重，心下如何不恼？但为求花毒的解药，只得稍假辞色，敷衍对答。 公孙止道：“我是本谷的谷主，这情花解药的配制之法，天下除我之外再无第二人知晓，只是配制费时，远水救不得近火，好在谷中尚余一枚，在那恶妇手中。咱们只须除灭了她，那便甚么都是你的了。”最后一句话意存双关，意思说不但给你解药，这绝情谷的主妇之位也都属你。天下只他一人知晓解药制法，这话原本不假，情花在谷中生长已久，公孙止上代的祖先损伤了不少人命，才试出解药的配制之方，为了情花有阻拦外人入谷之功，因此并不芟除，而解药的方子也是父子相传，不入旁人之手。虽是裘千尺，也只道解药是上代遗存，方子已然失传。但裘千尺那枚解药现下只剩半枚，公孙止却不知悉。 李莫愁沉吟道：“既是如此，你先头岂非白说？解药在尊夫人手中，而尊夫人又已与你反目成仇，便算杀她不难，解药却如何能够到手？”公孙止踌躇未答，过了半晌，说道：“李道友，你我一见投缘，我纵死亦不足惜。”李莫愁淡淡的道：“这个可不敢当。”公孙止道：“我有一计，能从恶妇手中夺得灵丹，但盼你答应我一件事。”李莫愁勃然道：“我一生闯荡江湖，独来独往，从不受人要胁。解药你肯给便给，不肯便索罢休。我李莫愁岂是哀怜乞命之辈？” 公孙止武功虽然甚强，但一生僻处幽谷，便是江湖上最厉害的人物也均不知，纵然略有所闻，也是得自数十年前裘千尺的转述。近十年来赤练仙子李莫愁声名响亮，武林中无人不知她貌如桃李，心若蛇蝎，这公孙止却懵懵懂懂的一无所悉，听她这几句话说得甚有气派，只有更喜，忙道：“你会错我的意思了。我但盼能为你稍尽绵薄，欢喜还来不及，岂有要胁之意？只是要夺那绝情丹到手，势不免伤了我亲生女儿的性命，因之我说得不甚妥善，也是有的。你千万不可介意。” 公孙绿萼隐身大石之后，听到“势不免伤了我亲生女儿的性命”这句话，不由得全身一震。 李莫愁也感诧异，问道：“解药是在令爱手中么？”公孙止道：“不是的，我跟你实说了罢！那恶妇性情固执暴戾之极，解药必是收藏在隐秘无比的处所，强逼要她献出，势所不能，只有出之诱取一途。”李莫愁点头道：“确是如此。”公孙止道：“这恶妇对人人均无情义，心肠恶毒，无所不至，惟有对她亲生女儿却十分爱惜。咱们瞧准了这点，由我去将女儿绿萼诱来，你出手擒她，将她掷在情花丛中。这么一来，那恶妇不得不取出绝情丹来救治女儿。咱们俟机去夺，便能成功。只可惜这绝情丹世间唯存一枚，既给了你，我那女儿的小命便保不住了。”李莫愁沉吟道：“咱们也不必用真的情花来刺伤令爱，只消假意做作，让她似乎中毒，那便既可夺丹，又能保全令爱。”公孙止叹道：“那恶妇十分精明，我女儿倘若只中假毒，焉能瞒得过她？”说到这里，忽然声音呜咽，似乎动了真情。李莫愁道：“为了救我性命，却须伤害令爱，我心何忍？看来你原也舍不得，此事便作罢休。”公孙止忙道：“不，不，我虽舍她不得，可更加舍你不得。”李莫愁默然，心想除此而外，确也更无别法。公孙止道：“咱们在此稍待，过了夜半，我便去叫女儿出来，凭她千伶百俐，也决想不到她爹爹有此计谋。” 两人如此对答，每一句话绿萼都听得清清楚楚，越想越是害怕。那日公孙止将她和杨过驱入鳄鱼潭，她已知父亲绝无半点父女之情，但当时还可说出于一时之愤，今日竟然如此处心积虑，要害死亲生女儿来讨好一个初识面的女子，心肠狠毒，真是有甚于豺狼虎豹。她本来不想活了，然而听到二人如此安排毒计图谋自己，却不由得要设法逃开，好在四下里山石嶙峋，树木茂密，隐蔽之处甚多，于是轻轻向后退出一步，隔了片刻，又退出一步，直退至数十丈外，才转身快步走开。
她走了半个时辰，离绝情峰已远，知道父亲不久便要来相诱，连卧房也不敢回去，凄凄凉凉的坐在一块岩石之上，寒风侵肌，冷月无情，只觉世间实无可恋，喃喃自语：“我本就不想活了，爹爹你又何必设这毒计来害我？你要害死我，尽管来害罢。真是奇怪，我又何必逃？” 突然之间，一个念头如闪电般射进了心里：“爹爹用心狠毒，此计果然大妙。反正我要自尽，何不用此计向妈妈骗取灵丹，去救了杨大哥的性命？他夫妻团圆，总不免要感激我这一心一意待他的苦命姑娘。”想到此处，又是欣喜，又是伤心，精神却为之一振，四下一看，瞧清了身在何处，举步走进母亲卧房。 她经过情花树丛之时，折了两条花枝，提在手中，走到母亲房外，低声叫道：“妈，你睡着了么？”裘千尺在房中应道：“萼儿，有甚么事？”绿萼叫道：“妈，妈！我给情花刺伤了。”说着张臂便往情花枝上用力一抱。 花枝上千百根小刺同时刺入了她身体。她自幼便受谆谆告诫，决不能为花刺刺伤，幼时因无体内情欲诱引，偶尔被小刺刺中，亦无大碍，后来年纪渐大，旁人的告诫也越加郑重。十余年来小心趋避之物，想不到今日自行引刺入体，心中这番痛楚却更深了一层。她咬紧牙关，又叫了几声：“妈！” 裘千尺听到呼声有异，吃了一惊，忙命侍女开门，扶绿萼进来。绿萼叫道：“我身上有情花花刺，你们不可近前。”两名侍女骇然变色，大开房门，让绿萼自行走进，哪敢碰她身子？ 裘千尺见女儿脸色惨白，身子颤抖，两枝情花的花枝挂在胸前，忙问：“你怎么了，怎么了？”绿萼叫道：“是爹爹，是爹爹！”她怕母亲的目光厉害，低下头不敢望她。裘千尺怒道：“你还叫他爹爹？那老贼怎么了？”绿萼道：“他……他……”裘千尺道：“你抬起头来，让我瞧瞧。”绿萼一抬头，遇到母亲一对凛凛生威的眸子，不禁打了个寒战，说道：“他……他和今日进谷来的那个貌美道姑，在断肠崖前鬼鬼祟祟的说话，我躲在大石后面，想听他说些甚么……”这几句话半点不假，此后却非捏造谎言不可，绿萼只怕给母亲瞧出破绽，说到这里，又低下头来。 裘千尺道：“他两个说些甚么？”绿萼道：“说甚么同病相怜，甚么有缘千里来相会。他们……他们一起骂你恶妇长、恶妇短的，我听着气不过……”说到这里便呜呜咽咽的哭了起来。裘千尺咬牙切齿，道：“莫哭，莫哭！后来怎样？”绿萼道：“我不小心身子一动，给他们知觉了。那道姑……那道姑便将我推入了情花丛里。” 裘千尺听她声音有些迟疑，喝道：“不对，你在说谎！到底是怎样？休得瞒我。”绿萼出了一身冷汗，道：“我没骗你，这……这难道不是情花么？”裘千尺道：“你说话的语调不对，你自小便是这样，说不得谎，做娘的难道不知？”绿萼灵机一动，咬牙道：“妈，我是骗了你，是爹爹推我入情花丛的。他恼我跟你、帮你，和他作对，说我只要娘，不要爹。他……他拚命要讨好那美貌的道姑。” 裘千尺恨极了丈夫，绿萼这几句话恰恰打中她心坎，登时深信不疑，忙拉住女儿手掌，温言道：“萼儿不用烦恼，让娘来对付这老贼，总须出了咱娘儿俩这口恶气。”当下命侍女取过剪刀钳子，先将花枝移开，然后钳出肌肤中断折了的小刺。 绿萼哽咽道：“妈，女儿这番是活不成了。”裘千尺道：“不怕，不怕。咱们还有半枚绝情丹未用，幸好没给那无情无义的杨过小贼糟蹋了。你服了这半枚丹药，花毒虽然不能除净，只要你乖乖的陪着妈妈，对任何臭男子都不理睬，甚至想也不去想他们，那便决计无碍。”裘千尺苦受丈夫的折磨，杨过又不肯做她女婿，恨极了天下的男人，女儿如能终身不嫁，正合她心愿，可说再好也没有。 绿萼皱眉不语。裘千尺又问：“那老贼和那道姑呢，他们在哪里？”绿萼道：“我从情花丛中挣扎着爬起，没敢回头再看，他们多半仍在那边。”裘千尺暗自沉吟：“老贼有了强助，必来夺回此谷。谷中弟子多半是他的心腹亲信，事到临头，必定归心于老贼，最多也是袖手旁观，两不相助，决不会出手与他为敌。我手足残废，所仗的只是一门枣核钉。这暗器出其不意的射出固是威力极大，但老贼既有防备，多半便奈何他不得，如他手持盾牌来攻，我便一筹莫展。那便如何是好？” 绿萼见母亲目光闪烁，沉吟不语，还道她在斟酌自己的说话是真是伪，生怕她问个不休，终于查知真相，自己一番受苦不打紧，取不到解药，杨过身上的毒质终是难除。她一想到杨过，胸口一阵大疼，“啊”的一声叫了出来。裘千尺伸手抚摸她头发，道：“咱们取绝情丹去。”双手一拍，命四名侍女将坐椅抬出房门。 绿萼自杨过去后，一直想知道母亲将半枚丹药藏在何处。曾听母亲说过，丹药决不能藏在身边，否则任谁都可杀了她，一搜即得，心想她手足残废，行动须人扶持，决不能窜高伏低，也不能藏之于甚么山洞僻谷，想来定是藏在府第之中。但她数十日来到处查探，丹房、剑室、花园、卧床，没一处不详加察看，始终瞧不出半点端倪，这时见母亲命侍女将坐椅抬向大厅，不由得大为讶异，心想大厅是人人所到之处，最难藏物，何况此刻强敌聚集于厅，正是为这半枚丹药而来，难道丹药便在敌人面前，任其予取予携么？
大厅前后铁门紧闭，众弟子手提带刀渔网监守，见裘千尺到来，上前行礼。为首的弟子躬身道：“敌人绝无声息，似是束手待毙。”裘千尺哼了一声，心道：“井底之蛙，当真不知天高地厚。善者不来，来者不善，今日闯进谷来的这些人物，焉是束手待毙之辈？”说道：“开门！”两名弟子打开铁门，另有八名弟子提着两张渔网，在裘千尺左右护卫，相率进厅。 只见一灯大师、黄蓉、武三通、耶律齐诸人都坐在大厅一角。裘千尺待椅子着地，举手说道：“这里除了黄蓉母女三人，其余的我可不究擅自闯谷之罪，一齐给我走罢！”黄蓉微笑道：“裘谷主，你大难临头，不知快求避解，兀自口出大言，当真令人齿冷。”裘千尺心中一凛，暗想：“她怎知我大难临头？难道她已知那老贼回谷？”冷冷的道：“是福是祸，须待报应到来方知。老妇人肢体不全，以残废之身，还怕甚么大难？” 黄蓉自不知公孙止已回绝情谷，但鉴貌辨色，眼见裘千尺眉间隐有重忧，与适才出厅时飞扬狠恶的神态大不相同，料想谷中或有内变，因此出言试探，听裘千尺虽然说得嘴硬，自己所料却多半不错，说道：“裘谷主，令兄是自行失足摔下深谷而死，绝非小妹所伤。但若你对此事始终耿耿，小妹不避不让，任你连打三枚枣核钉如何？只是打过之后，小妹不论死活，你却须赐赠解药，以救杨过之伤。小妹倘若死了，这里许多朋友决不记恨，仍然助你解脱大祸，以退内敌。你这项买卖做是不做？” 黄蓉这般说法，实是让对方占尽了便宜，眼见裘千尺除枣核钉厉害之外别无伤敌手段，而大声说出“内敌”两字，更是打中她心坎。 裘千尺心想：“当真有这么好？”说道：“你是丐帮帮主，谅必言而有信。我打你三枚枣核钉，你当真不避不让，亦不用兵器格打？” 黄蓉尚未回答，郭芙抢着道：“我妈只说不避不让，可没说不用兵器格打。”黄蓉微笑道：“裘谷主要泄心中恼恨，小妹不用兵刃暗器格打就是。”郭芙叫道：“妈，那怎么成？”适才她长剑被枣核钉击断，知道这暗器力道强劲无比，倘若真的不让不格，母亲血肉之躯如何抵挡得了？黄蓉却想：“过儿于我郭家一门四人均有大恩，此刻他身上剧毒难解，说甚么也要叫老太婆交出解药。她这枣核钉自是天下最凌厉的暗器，任
I saw Master Yideng sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, holding a rosary, chanting the Buddha's name, with a solemn and kind face.Monk Ci'en was running around in circles on the hall, roaring fiercely from time to time. He was wearing a pair of handcuffs, but the iron chain connecting the two handcuffs had been broken.Qiu Qianchi was sitting in the middle, her face was livid, she was ugly to begin with, but now she was even more hideous.Huang Rong, Wu Santong and others stood in a corner of the hall, watching Ci'en's movement. Ci'en ran for a while, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and white air rose from the top of his head like a steamer. The white air became thicker and thicker, and he ran faster and faster.Yideng suddenly raised his breath and shouted: "Ci'en, Ci'en, the distinction between good and evil, you still can't comprehend it?" Qiu Qianchi shouted: "E'er, help uncle up quickly." Gongsun Lu'e stepped forward to help him up, Ci'en opened his eyes, saw Lu'e's face was only a foot away in front of him, looked out in a daze, but saw her long With thin eyebrows and green temples and jade face, it was vaguely the appearance of a girl back then. She shouted: "Third sister, where am I?" Lue said: "Uncle, I am Lue." Ci'en murmured: "Uncle, Who is your uncle? Who is your name?" Qiu Qianchi yelled, "Second Brother, she is your third sister's daughter. She wants you to take her to see First Uncle." Ci'en was startled and said, "My elder brother? You can't see him anymore. He has fallen to pieces on Tiezhang Peak, and there is no bones left." He jumped up, pointed at Huang Rong and shouted: "Huang Rong, my elder brother was killed by you." Damn, you...you...you pay for his life!" After Guo Fu entered the living room, she leaned against her mother, took the girl and hugged her in her arms, and suddenly saw Ci En pointing at her mother and scolding her so viciously, she couldn't bear it any longer, walked up a few steps, and said, "Monk, no matter how rude you are, The girl can't tolerate you." Qiu Qianchi sneered and said: "This little girl is quite bold..." Ci'en said: "Who are you?" Guo Fu said: "Guo Daxia is my father, and Chief Huang is my mother." Who is it?" Guo Fu said, "It's my sister." Ci'en said sharply, "Hmph, Guo Jing and Huang Rong actually gave birth to two children." Huang Rong heard the difference in his voice, and shouted: "Fu'er, get back!" Seeing Ci'en going crazy, Guo Fu didn't move after talking for a long time, guessing that he was afraid of his mother, she had no fear of him in her heart, and instead left Taking a step forward, he said with a smile: "If you have the ability, take revenge quickly, and if you don't, keep your mouth shut!" Ci'en shouted: "If you have the ability, take revenge!" This shout was like a thunderbolt in mid-air, only the teacups on the table could be heard rattling.Guo Fu never expected that a person could make such a noise, she was startled and couldn't help but be at a loss, but seeing Ci'en's left palm slapped, and her right hand was grasped, attacking at the same time. Finally escaped, but where is there still time? Huang Rong, Wu Santong and Yeluqi all went up simultaneously.The three of them could see at a glance that although the grasp of Ci'en's right hand was ferocious, it was far less powerful than the one touch of his left palm, so they all struck at his left palm with three palms.With a bang, the four palms collided. Ci En let out a hey sound and stood still.Huang Rong and the other three took a few steps back at the same time.Yeluqi's internal energy is the weakest, and he has retreated the farthest, followed by Huang Rong.Before she stabilized her figure, she looked at her daughter first, and saw that Guo Xiang had been captured by Ci'en, but Guo Fu stood there dumbfounded, so frightened that she even forgot to dodge.Huang Rong was taken aback: "Could it be that Fu'er was injured by the palm force after all?" Immediately, she stretched out her left hand to pull her back, and protected her body with the dog-beating stick with her right hand. So fierce, he couldn't hurt her for a while.Guo Fu was actually not injured, but her heart was in a state of confusion, until she leaned against her mother, and then she cried out "Ah". At this time, the Wu brothers, Yeluyan, Wanyanping and others saw that Ci'en had finally made a move, and each drew their weapons.Qiu Qianchi's disciples also dispersed one after another, waiting for the order from the owner of the valley, they stepped forward to besiege.Only Master Yideng was still sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, oblivious to the changes around him, chanting Buddhist scriptures, his voice was quiet but very clear. Ci'en raised Guo Xiang and shouted: "This is the daughter of Guo Jing and Huang Rong. I will kill this girl first, and then Huang Rong!" Qiu Qianchi was overjoyed and shouted: "Good second brother! This is the world-renowned Iron Palm Shuishang Leader Piaoqiu!" In this situation, let alone Huang Rong and others, no one is better than Ci En in martial arts, even if there is someone who is better than him, it will be difficult to rescue the baby from this half-crazy person. Guo Fu suddenly yelled: "Yang Guo, Brother Yang, come and save my sister." She encountered catastrophe several times, but it was Yang Guo who rescued her by surprise. Come and save.But at this time, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv were meeting secretly, the two of them walked slowly hand in hand, watching the sunset in the Valley of Unrequited Love, who would have thought that the situation in the hall would be so tight. Ci'en held Guo Xiang high above her head with her right hand, protected her body with her left palm, and said with a sneer, "Yang Guo? Who is Yang Guo? Even if Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, Beibei, and Zhongshentong come here together, it is only a matter of time." It can hurt my life, Qiu Qianren, but it can't save this little girl." Yideng raised his head slowly, looked at Ci'en, but saw that his eyes were full of red threads, full of murderous intent, and said: "You want to seek revenge from others, and they come to seek revenge from you, so what?" Ci'en shouted "Whoever has the guts, come here!" At this time, it was almost dusk, and when the twilight entered the hall, there was a sense of haze in everyone's eyes, and Ci'en's face looked even more sinister. All of a sudden, Huang Rong could be heard laughing loudly, the laughter fluctuated up and down, like a lunatic.Everyone couldn't help being horrified.Guo Fu shouted: "Mom!" Wu Santong and Yeluqi shouted together: "Mrs. Guo!" Everyone's hearts were pounding, they all thought that her daughter would fall into the enemy's hands, so they lost their minds.But seeing her throw the dog-beating stick to the ground, take two steps, and untangle her hair, her laughter became shriller and shriller.Guo Fu called out: "Mom!" and stepped forward to pull her arm.Huang Rong flicked her right hand, causing her to fall a few steps, then opened her arms, laughed shrilly, and walked towards Ci'en. This time, even Qiu Qianchi was totally unexpected, staring at him with surprise and uncertainty. Huang Rong stretched her arms, glared at Ci'en viciously, and shouted: "Shoot this child to death, I'll hit her on the back hard, there's no mercy." Ci'en turned pale, and hugged Guo Xiang in her arms, Said: "You...you...who are you?" Huang Rong laughed loudly, and threw her arms forward.Although Ci'en's left palm was in front of him, he didn't dare to attack, he slid two steps to the side, and asked again: "Who are you?" Huang Rong said sadly: "Have you forgotten all about it? That night in the Dali Palace, you caught a child. That's right, that's it...that's it...you made him half-dead, and finally couldn't survive ...I am the mother of this child. You kill this child quickly, kill this child quickly, why don't you do it?" When Ci'en heard this, her whole body trembled, and the past decades ago suddenly came to mind. Back then when he injured the child of Concubine Liu Gui of Dali Kingdom, he asked Southern Emperor Duan Huangye to sacrifice several years of martial arts to heal the injury, but Duan Huangye couldn't bear to cure him, and the child finally died.Later Concubine Liu Guifei Yinggu and Ci'en met twice, and they wanted to hug him like a mad tiger and die together.Although Ci En's martial arts are high, she dared not resist, so she fled in despair.Huang Rong was on Qinglongtan, at the top of Mount Hua, and had heard Yinggu's crazy laughter twice, and witnessed her crazy appearance, and knew that this was Ci'en's biggest heart disease in her life. Immediately took the risk, but told him to kill Guo Xiang.Wu Santong, Qiu Qianchi, Yeluqi and others all said that she was crazy, so she spoke incoherently.Only Yideng secretly admired Huang Rong's great wisdom and courage, thinking that even a first-class man may not have such courage, even if some people can think of such a strategy, they must not dare to say "quickly kill this child" Exiting the door, seeing that Ci'en was so resentful, fierce and terrifying, wouldn't he immediately kill Guo Xiang with a light slap? Ci'en looked at Huang Rong, then at a lamp, and then at the child in her hand, suddenly overwhelmed with regret, sobbing: "Dead! Dead! A good child, I beat him to death alive. Walked slowly to Huang Rong, handed Guo Xiang over, and said, "I killed the child, you kill me to kill me!" Huang Rong was so happy that she stretched out her hand to take it, only to hear a lamp shout: "Repay the injustice." , when will it be done? When will you throw away the butcher knife in your hand?" Ci'en was startled, her hands loosened, and Guo Xiang fell straight to the ground. Before Guo Xiang landed on the ground, Huang Rong stretched out her right foot, kicked the child flying out, and at the same time laughed wildly and shouted: "The child was killed by you, okay, okay, it's so wonderful." The foot seemed to be exerting force, but it touched Guo Xiang's body, but the back of the foot was only gently supported by the baby's waist, and then gently sent out.She knew that this was an urgent juncture, if she bent over to pick up her daughter, maybe Ci En's mind would change again. Guo Xiang flew steadily towards Yeluqi in mid-air.He stretched out his arms to catch it, but he saw Guo Xiang's black eyes rolled continuously, he opened his small mouth and was about to cry loudly, the dragon was jumping alive, it didn't look like he was injured in the slightest, he was startled for a moment, and immediately understood, he expected Huang Rong to know Guo Fu was reckless, so she threw the little girl to herself, and immediately stretched out her hand to press the baby's mouth lightly, preventing her from crying, and shouted: "Ah, the little girl was killed by this monk." Ci'en's face was ashes, and he realized everything in an instant. He bowed to Yideng and said, "Thank you, monk for enlightening you!" out.Qiu Qianchi shouted anxiously: "Second brother, second brother, come back!" Ci'en turned her head and said, "You asked me to come back, but I asked you to come back!" After saying that, he waved his sleeves and floated out of the hall.Yideng beamed with joy, and said: "Okay, okay, okay!" He retreated to the corner of the hall, lowered his head and eyebrows, and said nothing more. Huang Rong rolled up her hair and hugged Guo Xiang from Yeluqi's hand.Seeing that her mother was normal and her sister was fine, Guo Fu was surprised and happy, threw herself into her mother's arms, and said, "Mom, I thought you really went crazy!" Huang Rong walked up to Yideng, bowed, and said: "My niece was forced to bring up the past, please forgive me." Yideng said with a smile: "Rong'er, Rong'er, she is really Zhuge Ye!" Among the people in the hall, only Wu Santong vaguely knew some old things, The rest are all at a loss. Qiu Qianchi saw that things had turned to this stage, watched his brother's back finally disappear outside the screen door, and expected that he would never see each other again in this life, he couldn't help feeling sore in his chest, savoring his "You called me back, but I called you back" What?" That sentence seemed to persuade him to rein in the precipice and turn his head to the shore, and felt a faint sense of melancholy and regret in his heart; but the regret was fleeting, and then proudly said: "Everyone wait here, the old lady excuse me." Huang Rong said : "Wait a minute! Our visit today is to seek the Unfeeling Pill..." Qiu Qianchi nodded to the people accompanying him.All the disciples whistled in unison, and four green-clothed disciples poured out from every doorway, holding high the fishing nets with sharp knives, blocking the way.The four maids lifted Qiu Qianchi's chair and retreated into the inner hall. 黄蓉、武三通、耶律齐等见到渔网阵的声势，心下暗惊，均想：“这渔网阵好不厉害，不知如何方能破得？”便这么一迟疑，大厅前门后门一齐轧轧关上，众绿衣弟子缩身退出。武氏兄弟仗剑外冲，砰的一声，大门合拢，两兄弟的双剑夹在门缝之中，登时折断，看来大门竟是钢铁所铸。黄蓉低声道：“不须惊惶！出厅不难，但咱们得想个法儿，如何破那带刀渔网，如何盗药救人？”
公孙绿萼随着母亲进了内堂，问道：“妈，怎么办？”裘千尺见兄长已去，对方好手云集，知道此事甚为棘手，但杀兄大仇人既然到来，决不能就此屈服，好言善罢，微一沉吟，说道：“你去瞧瞧，杨过和那三个女子在干甚么。”此言正合绿萼心意，她点头答应，向“火浣室”而去。 行到半路，听到前面有人说话，正是杨过的声音，接着小龙女回答了一句，好似说到“公孙姑娘”四字。这时天已全黑，绿萼往道旁柳树丛中一闪，心道：“不知她在说我些甚么？”放轻脚步，悄悄走近，见杨过和小龙女并肩站立，听杨过道：“你说此事全仗公孙姑娘从中周旋，委实不错。但愿神僧早日醒转，大家释仇解怨，邪毒尽除岂不是妙？……啊哟！”这“啊哟”一声惊呼突如其来，绿萼吓了一跳，不知杨过蓦地里遇上了甚么怪事。 她心中关切，情不自禁的探头张望，朦胧中只见杨过摔倒在地，小龙女俯身扶着他的左臂。杨过背部抽搐颤动，似在强忍痛楚。小龙女低声道：“是情花之毒发作了吗？”杨过只是呻吟：“嗯……嗯……”竟痛得牙关难开。绿萼大是怜惜，心想：“他已服了半枚丹药，再服半枚，情花之毒便解。这半枚灵丹，说甚么也得去向妈妈要来。” 过了片刻，杨过站起身来，吁了一口长气。小龙女道：“你每次发作相距越来越近，更是一次比一次厉害。那神僧尚须一日方能醒转，便算他能配解药，也未必……也未必……你这番苦楚，可也难受得很啊。”她本想说“也未必来得及”，但终于改了口。杨过苦笑道：“这位公孙老太太性子执拗之极，她的解药又藏得隐秘异常，若非她自愿给我，否则便是将谷中老幼尽数杀了，钢刀架在她颈中，也是决计不肯拿出来的。”小龙女道：“我倒有个法子。”杨过早猜到她的心意，说道：“龙儿，你再也休提此言。你我夫妻情深爱笃，若能白头偕老，自然谢天谢地，如有不测，那也是命数使然。咱两人之间决不容有第三人拦入。”小龙女呜咽道：“那公孙姑娘……我瞧她人很好啊，你便听了我的话罢。” 绿萼心中大震，知道小龙女在劝杨过娶了自己，以便求药活命。只听杨过朗声一笑，道：“公孙姑娘自然是好。其实天下好女子难道少了？那程英姑娘，陆无双姑娘，也是重情笃义之人。只是你我既然两心如一，怎容另有他念？你再设身处地想想，若有一个男人能解你体内剧毒，却要你委身以事，你肯不肯啊？”小龙女道：“我是女子，自作别论。”杨过笑道：“旁人重男轻女，我杨过却是重女轻男……”说到此处，忽听得树丛后簌的一声响，杨过问道：“是谁？” 绿萼只道被他发觉了踪迹，正要应声，忽听一个女子的声音说道：“傻蛋，是我！”只见陆无双和程英从树丛后的小路上转了出来。绿萼乘机悄悄退开，心中思潮起伏不定：“别说和龙姑娘相比，便是这程陆二位姑娘，她们的品貌武功，过去和他的交情，又岂是我所能及？”她自见杨过，便不由自主的对他一往情深，先前固已知他对小龙女情义深重，但内心隐隐存了二女共事一夫的念头，此刻听了这番话，更知相思成空，已成定局。她自幼便郁郁寡欢，今日万念俱灰，决意不想活了，漫步向西走去。
她神不守舍，信步所之，浑不知身在何处，心中一个声音只是说：“我不想活了，我不想活了！” 也不知走了多少时候，山石彼端忽然隐隐传来说话的声音。绿萼一凝神间，不禁微微一惊，原来神魂颠倒的乱走，竟已到了谷西自来极少人行之处，抬头见一座山峰冲天而起，正是谷中绝险之地的绝情峰。 这山峰腰有一处山崖，不知若干年代之前有人在崖上刻了“断肠崖”三字，自此而上，数十丈光溜溜的寸草不生，终年云雾环绕，天风猛烈，便飞鸟也甚难在峰顶停足。山崖下临深渊，自渊口下望，黑黝黝的深不见底。“断肠崖”前后风景清幽，只因地势实在太险，山石滑溜，极易掉入深渊，谷中居民相戒裹足，便是身负武功的众绿衣弟子也轻易不敢来此，却不知是谁在此说话？ 公孙绿萼本来除死以外已无别念，这时却起了好奇心，于是隐身山石之后侧耳倾听，一听之下，心中怦的一跳，原来说话之人竟是父亲。她父亲虽然对不起母亲，对她也是冷酷无情，但母亲以枣核钉射瞎了他一目，又将他逐出绝情谷，绿萼念起父女之情，时时牵挂，此刻忽又听到了这熟悉的声音，才知他并未离开绝情谷，却躲在这人迹罕至之处，想来身子也无大碍，登时心下暗喜。 只听他说道：“你遍体鳞伤，我损却一目，都是因杨过这小贼而起，咱俩不但敌忾同仇，也是同病相怜。”说着笑了起来，对方却并不回答。绿萼颇感奇怪，暗想父亲是在跟谁说话啊？听他语气中微带轻薄之意，难道对方是个女子么？ 只听得公孙止又道：“咱们在这人迹罕至的所在相逢，可说是天意，当真是有缘千里来相会。”一个女人“呸”的一声，嗔道：“我全身为情花刺伤，你半点也没放在心上，尽说些风话，拿人取笑。”绿萼心道：“啊，原来是今日闯进谷来的李莫愁。”只听公孙止忙道：“不，不，我怎不放在心上？自然要尽力设法。你身上痛，我心里更痛。” 与公孙止说话的正是李莫愁。她遍身为情花所刺，中毒着实不轻，幸好她满腔愤怒憎恨，怨天尤人，不动男女之情，身上倒无多大痛楚，但知花毒厉害，亟于寻觅解药，谷中道路错综，乱走乱撞，竟到了断肠崖前。公孙止却在此已久，他有意来此僻静之处，以便避过谷中诸人，然后俟机害死裘千尺，重夺谷主之位。两人曾交过手，都知对方武功了得，见面后均想：“我正有事于谷中，何不倚他为助？”三言两语，竟尔说得甚是投契。 公孙止于当年所恋婢女柔儿死后，专心练武，女色上看得甚淡，但自欲娶小龙女而不可得，抑制已久的情欲突然如堤防溃决，不可收拾，以他堂堂武学大豪的身份竟致出手去强夺完颜萍，已与江湖上下三滥的行径无异，此时与李莫愁邂逅相遇，见她容貌端丽，心中又即动念：“杀了裘千尺那恶妇后，不如便娶这位道姑为妻，她容貌武功，无一不是上上之选，正可和我相配。”哪知李莫愁心地狠毒，用情却是极专，她一生恶孽，便是因“情”之一字而来，这时听公孙止言语越来越不庄重，心下如何不恼？但为求花毒的解药，只得稍假辞色，敷衍对答。 公孙止道：“我是本谷的谷主，这情花解药的配制之法，天下除我之外再无第二人知晓，只是配制费时，远水救不得近火，好在谷中尚余一枚，在那恶妇手中。咱们只须除灭了她，那便甚么都是你的了。”最后一句话意存双关，意思说不但给你解药，这绝情谷的主妇之位也都属你。天下只他一人知晓解药制法，这话原本不假，情花在谷中生长已久，公孙止上代的祖先损伤了不少人命，才试出解药的配制之方，为了情花有阻拦外人入谷之功，因此并不芟除，而解药的方子也是父子相传，不入旁人之手。虽是裘千尺，也只道解药是上代遗存，方子已然失传。但裘千尺那枚解药现下只剩半枚，公孙止却不知悉。 李莫愁沉吟道：“既是如此，你先头岂非白说？解药在尊夫人手中，而尊夫人又已与你反目成仇，便算杀她不难，解药却如何能够到手？”公孙止踌躇未答，过了半晌，说道：“李道友，你我一见投缘，我纵死亦不足惜。”李莫愁淡淡的道：“这个可不敢当。”公孙止道：“我有一计，能从恶妇手中夺得灵丹，但盼你答应我一件事。”李莫愁勃然道：“我一生闯荡江湖，独来独往，从不受人要胁。解药你肯给便给，不肯便索罢休。我李莫愁岂是哀怜乞命之辈？” 公孙止武功虽然甚强，但一生僻处幽谷，便是江湖上最厉害的人物也均不知，纵然略有所闻，也是得自数十年前裘千尺的转述。近十年来赤练仙子李莫愁声名响亮，武林中无人不知她貌如桃李，心若蛇蝎，这公孙止却懵懵懂懂的一无所悉，听她这几句话说得甚有气派，只有更喜，忙道：“你会错我的意思了。我但盼能为你稍尽绵薄，欢喜还来不及，岂有要胁之意？只是要夺那绝情丹到手，势不免伤了我亲生女儿的性命，因之我说得不甚妥善，也是有的。你千万不可介意。” 公孙绿萼隐身大石之后，听到“势不免伤了我亲生女儿的性命”这句话，不由得全身一震。 李莫愁也感诧异，问道：“解药是在令爱手中么？”公孙止道：“不是的，我跟你实说了罢！那恶妇性情固执暴戾之极，解药必是收藏在隐秘无比的处所，强逼要她献出，势所不能，只有出之诱取一途。”李莫愁点头道：“确是如此。”公孙止道：“这恶妇对人人均无情义，心肠恶毒，无所不至，惟有对她亲生女儿却十分爱惜。咱们瞧准了这点，由我去将女儿绿萼诱来，你出手擒她，将她掷在情花丛中。这么一来，那恶妇不得不取出绝情丹来救治女儿。咱们俟机去夺，便能成功。只可惜这绝情丹世间唯存一枚，既给了你，我那女儿的小命便保不住了。”李莫愁沉吟道：“咱们也不必用真的情花来刺伤令爱，只消假意做作，让她似乎中毒，那便既可夺丹，又能保全令爱。”公孙止叹道：“那恶妇十分精明，我女儿倘若只中假毒，焉能瞒得过她？”说到这里，忽然声音呜咽，似乎动了真情。李莫愁道：“为了救我性命，却须伤害令爱，我心何忍？看来你原也舍不得，此事便作罢休。”公孙止忙道：“不，不，我虽舍她不得，可更加舍你不得。”李莫愁默然，心想除此而外，确也更无别法。公孙止道：“咱们在此稍待，过了夜半，我便去叫女儿出来，凭她千伶百俐，也决想不到她爹爹有此计谋。” 两人如此对答，每一句话绿萼都听得清清楚楚，越想越是害怕。那日公孙止将她和杨过驱入鳄鱼潭，她已知父亲绝无半点父女之情，但当时还可说出于一时之愤，今日竟然如此处心积虑，要害死亲生女儿来讨好一个初识面的女子，心肠狠毒，真是有甚于豺狼虎豹。她本来不想活了，然而听到二人如此安排毒计图谋自己，却不由得要设法逃开，好在四下里山石嶙峋，树木茂密，隐蔽之处甚多，于是轻轻向后退出一步，隔了片刻，又退出一步，直退至数十丈外，才转身快步走开。
她走了半个时辰，离绝情峰已远，知道父亲不久便要来相诱，连卧房也不敢回去，凄凄凉凉的坐在一块岩石之上，寒风侵肌，冷月无情，只觉世间实无可恋，喃喃自语：“我本就不想活了，爹爹你又何必设这毒计来害我？你要害死我，尽管来害罢。真是奇怪，我又何必逃？” 突然之间，一个念头如闪电般射进了心里：“爹爹用心狠毒，此计果然大妙。反正我要自尽，何不用此计向妈妈骗取灵丹，去救了杨大哥的性命？他夫妻团圆，总不免要感激我这一心一意待他的苦命姑娘。”想到此处，又是欣喜，又是伤心，精神却为之一振，四下一看，瞧清了身在何处，举步走进母亲卧房。 她经过情花树丛之时，折了两条花枝，提在手中，走到母亲房外，低声叫道：“妈，你睡着了么？”裘千尺在房中应道：“萼儿，有甚么事？”绿萼叫道：“妈，妈！我给情花刺伤了。”说着张臂便往情花枝上用力一抱。 花枝上千百根小刺同时刺入了她身体。她自幼便受谆谆告诫，决不能为花刺刺伤，幼时因无体内情欲诱引，偶尔被小刺刺中，亦无大碍，后来年纪渐大，旁人的告诫也越加郑重。十余年来小心趋避之物，想不到今日自行引刺入体，心中这番痛楚却更深了一层。她咬紧牙关，又叫了几声：“妈！” 裘千尺听到呼声有异，吃了一惊，忙命侍女开门，扶绿萼进来。绿萼叫道：“我身上有情花花刺，你们不可近前。”两名侍女骇然变色，大开房门，让绿萼自行走进，哪敢碰她身子？ 裘千尺见女儿脸色惨白，身子颤抖，两枝情花的花枝挂在胸前，忙问：“你怎么了，怎么了？”绿萼叫道：“是爹爹，是爹爹！”她怕母亲的目光厉害，低下头不敢望她。裘千尺怒道：“你还叫他爹爹？那老贼怎么了？”绿萼道：“他……他……”裘千尺道：“你抬起头来，让我瞧瞧。”绿萼一抬头，遇到母亲一对凛凛生威的眸子，不禁打了个寒战，说道：“他……他和今日进谷来的那个貌美道姑，在断肠崖前鬼鬼祟祟的说话，我躲在大石后面，想听他说些甚么……”这几句话半点不假，此后却非捏造谎言不可，绿萼只怕给母亲瞧出破绽，说到这里，又低下头来。 裘千尺道：“他两个说些甚么？”绿萼道：“说甚么同病相怜，甚么有缘千里来相会。他们……他们一起骂你恶妇长、恶妇短的，我听着气不过……”说到这里便呜呜咽咽的哭了起来。裘千尺咬牙切齿，道：“莫哭，莫哭！后来怎样？”绿萼道：“我不小心身子一动，给他们知觉了。那道姑……那道姑便将我推入了情花丛里。” 裘千尺听她声音有些迟疑，喝道：“不对，你在说谎！到底是怎样？休得瞒我。”绿萼出了一身冷汗，道：“我没骗你，这……这难道不是情花么？”裘千尺道：“你说话的语调不对，你自小便是这样，说不得谎，做娘的难道不知？”绿萼灵机一动，咬牙道：“妈，我是骗了你，是爹爹推我入情花丛的。他恼我跟你、帮你，和他作对，说我只要娘，不要爹。他……他拚命要讨好那美貌的道姑。” 裘千尺恨极了丈夫，绿萼这几句话恰恰打中她心坎，登时深信不疑，忙拉住女儿手掌，温言道：“萼儿不用烦恼，让娘来对付这老贼，总须出了咱娘儿俩这口恶气。”当下命侍女取过剪刀钳子，先将花枝移开，然后钳出肌肤中断折了的小刺。 绿萼哽咽道：“妈，女儿这番是活不成了。”裘千尺道：“不怕，不怕。咱们还有半枚绝情丹未用，幸好没给那无情无义的杨过小贼糟蹋了。你服了这半枚丹药，花毒虽然不能除净，只要你乖乖的陪着妈妈，对任何臭男子都不理睬，甚至想也不去想他们，那便决计无碍。”裘千尺苦受丈夫的折磨，杨过又不肯做她女婿，恨极了天下的男人，女儿如能终身不嫁，正合她心愿，可说再好也没有。 绿萼皱眉不语。裘千尺又问：“那老贼和那道姑呢，他们在哪里？”绿萼道：“我从情花丛中挣扎着爬起，没敢回头再看，他们多半仍在那边。”裘千尺暗自沉吟：“老贼有了强助，必来夺回此谷。谷中弟子多半是他的心腹亲信，事到临头，必定归心于老贼，最多也是袖手旁观，两不相助，决不会出手与他为敌。我手足残废，所仗的只是一门枣核钉。这暗器出其不意的射出固是威力极大，但老贼既有防备，多半便奈何他不得，如他手持盾牌来攻，我便一筹莫展。那便如何是好？” 绿萼见母亲目光闪烁，沉吟不语，还道她在斟酌自己的说话是真是伪，生怕她问个不休，终于查知真相，自己一番受苦不打紧，取不到解药，杨过身上的毒质终是难除。她一想到杨过，胸口一阵大疼，“啊”的一声叫了出来。裘千尺伸手抚摸她头发，道：“咱们取绝情丹去。”双手一拍，命四名侍女将坐椅抬出房门。 绿萼自杨过去后，一直想知道母亲将半枚丹药藏在何处。曾听母亲说过，丹药决不能藏在身边，否则任谁都可杀了她，一搜即得，心想她手足残废，行动须人扶持，决不能窜高伏低，也不能藏之于甚么山洞僻谷，想来定是藏在府第之中。但她数十日来到处查探，丹房、剑室、花园、卧床，没一处不详加察看，始终瞧不出半点端倪，这时见母亲命侍女将坐椅抬向大厅，不由得大为讶异，心想大厅是人人所到之处，最难藏物，何况此刻强敌聚集于厅，正是为这半枚丹药而来，难道丹药便在敌人面前，任其予取予携么？
大厅前后铁门紧闭，众弟子手提带刀渔网监守，见裘千尺到来，上前行礼。为首的弟子躬身道：“敌人绝无声息，似是束手待毙。”裘千尺哼了一声，心道：“井底之蛙，当真不知天高地厚。善者不来，来者不善，今日闯进谷来的这些人物，焉是束手待毙之辈？”说道：“开门！”两名弟子打开铁门，另有八名弟子提着两张渔网，在裘千尺左右护卫，相率进厅。 只见一灯大师、黄蓉、武三通、耶律齐诸人都坐在大厅一角。裘千尺待椅子着地，举手说道：“这里除了黄蓉母女三人，其余的我可不究擅自闯谷之罪，一齐给我走罢！”黄蓉微笑道：“裘谷主，你大难临头，不知快求避解，兀自口出大言，当真令人齿冷。”裘千尺心中一凛，暗想：“她怎知我大难临头？难道她已知那老贼回谷？”冷冷的道：“是福是祸，须待报应到来方知。老妇人肢体不全，以残废之身，还怕甚么大难？” 黄蓉自不知公孙止已回绝情谷，但鉴貌辨色，眼见裘千尺眉间隐有重忧，与适才出厅时飞扬狠恶的神态大不相同，料想谷中或有内变，因此出言试探，听裘千尺虽然说得嘴硬，自己所料却多半不错，说道：“裘谷主，令兄是自行失足摔下深谷而死，绝非小妹所伤。但若你对此事始终耿耿，小妹不避不让，任你连打三枚枣核钉如何？只是打过之后，小妹不论死活，你却须赐赠解药，以救杨过之伤。小妹倘若死了，这里许多朋友决不记恨，仍然助你解脱大祸，以退内敌。你这项买卖做是不做？” 黄蓉这般说法，实是让对方占尽了便宜，眼见裘千尺除枣核钉厉害之外别无伤敌手段，而大声说出“内敌”两字，更是打中她心坎。 裘千尺心想：“当真有这么好？”说道：“你是丐帮帮主，谅必言而有信。我打你三枚枣核钉，你当真不避不让，亦不用兵器格打？” 黄蓉尚未回答，郭芙抢着道：“我妈只说不避不让，可没说不用兵器格打。”黄蓉微笑道：“裘谷主要泄心中恼恨，小妹不用兵刃暗器格打就是。”郭芙叫道：“妈，那怎么成？”适才她长剑被枣核钉击断，知道这暗器力道强劲无比，倘若真的不让不格，母亲血肉之躯如何抵挡得了？黄蓉却想：“过儿于我郭家一门四人均有大恩，此刻他身上剧毒难解，说甚么也要叫老太婆交出解药。她这枣核钉自是天下最凌厉的暗器，任
