Chapter 10 Chapter Ten Seven Heart Begonia
Cheng Lingsu blew out the candle and put it in his arms without making a sound.Hu Fei said: "Miss Ling, what's wrong with you, Brother Murong?" Cheng Lingsu said "Hey" without answering.After a while, Hu Fei asked again, and Cheng Lingsu hummed again.Hu Fei whispered: "What? Are you unhappy?" Cheng Lingsu said quietly: "Did you not take a word of what I said?"
Hu Fei was stunned, and then remembered that she had made three agreements with herself, but she didn't abide by any of them: "She asked me not to talk to others. Not only did I talk, but I also reported my name. She asked me not to use force, but I beat two people in a row She told me not to leave her body for three steps, heck, I have to leave her for more than ten steps..." The more I thought about it, the more apologetic I was, and I said, "I'm really sorry, just because I saw that these three people are very fierce, I'm afraid of hurting you. When it came to you, I was in a hurry, so I forgot everything."
Cheng Lingsu chuckled, his voice suddenly turned soft, and said: "Then you are all for me! I forgot all about it, but I blame others for my mistakes, so I am ashamed! Brother Hu, why did you report yourself?" Name? This couple will hold grudges the most. Once they find you, their ghosts linger, and they are very difficult to entangle. They obviously can't beat you, and they secretly poison you.
Hu Fei could only feel hairy when he heard it, thinking that what she said was not exaggerated, but it was like this, and I was afraid that it would be in vain.Cheng Lingsu asked again: "Why did you tell him and his wife your name?" Hu Fei smiled lightly and did not answer.Cheng Lingsu said: "You beat the two of them, I'm afraid they will find me, aren't you? You want to take everything on yourself. Brother Hu, why have you been treating me so well?" What are the last two sentences? It's tenderness. Although Hu Fei couldn't see her face in the dark, he must have a soft expression when he thought about it, and he said sincerely at the moment: "You have always taken care of me and kept me from danger. Comparing my heart to my heart, I will naturally regard you as a good friend La."
Cheng Lingsu was very happy, and said with a smile: "Do you really regard me as a good friend? Then I will save your life first." Hu Fei was taken aback, and said: "What?" Cheng Lingsu said: "I have to light a fire, Where's the lantern?" He leaned over to touch the lantern that Xue Que had left behind, but he couldn't find it in the darkness for a while, so he didn't know where she left it in the grass.Hu Fei said: "Don't you still have half a candle in your arms?" Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "Do you want to die? This is a candle made of seven-heart crabapple... um, um, here it is." He found a lantern in the grass, lit it with a torch, and in the dark forest, a ball of pale yellow light suddenly appeared, covering the two of them under the light of the lantern.
Hu Fei heard Jiang Tieshan and his wife and Murong Jingyue mention the word "Seven Heart Begonia" several times in succession. It seemed that it was an extremely powerful poison. Frozen, suddenly realized in his heart, he yelled out "ah", and said, "If I hadn't acted recklessly, Jiang Tieshan and his wife would have subdued you too." Cheng Lingsu smiled slightly, and said, "You did it for my kindness. , Brother Hu, I still accept your favor."
Hu Fei looked at her seemingly fragile body, and felt ashamed: "She is a few years younger than me, but she is so clever, I am conceited in vain that I am not as smart as her." At this time, he understood the truth, Cheng Lingsu's candles are made of highly poisonous drugs. After being lit, the poisonous gas emitted has no odor and no smoke. Therefore, even Murong Jingyue and other three master poisoners fell into the trick and did not realize it.If he didn't act rashly, then Jiang Tieshan and his wife would faint after smelling the poisonous gas of the candle for a while.But at that time, the two were attacking Cheng Lingsu, and they were attacking fiercely. She might have been hurt before she fainted.
Cheng Lingsu guessed his thoughts and said, "Touch the clothes on my shoulder with your fingers." Hu Fei didn't know her intention, but according to the words, he stretched out his index finger and stroked her shoulder lightly. Suddenly, his index finger felt like a fire, I couldn't help jumping up all over my body.Cheng Lingsu saw how embarrassed he was in this jump, giggled, and said: "If his wife grabs my clothes, it will feel like this."
Hu Fei shook his index finger in the air a few times, feeling the burning pain, and said, "Good guy! What kind of poison did you put on your clothes? It's so powerful?" Cheng Lingsu said: "This is red scorpion powder, and it's nothing special." Hu Fei stretched out his index finger to look under the firelight of the lantern, and saw fine bubbles on his fingers, thinking: "In the dark, it's fortunate that I didn't touch her clothes, otherwise it would be okay."
Cheng Lingsu said: "Brother Hu, don't blame me for telling you to be fooled. I want you to know that next time you meet my three brothers and sisters, you must be on guard. Your martial arts are naturally much better than them, but you see Look at your palm."
Hu Fei stretched out his palm and saw nothing unusual.Cheng Lingsu said: "You take a photo in front of the lantern." Hu Fei stretched out his palm in front of the lantern, and saw a faint layer of black air on his palm, startled, and said, "He... have the two of them practiced poison sand palm?" Cheng Lingsu said indifferently: "A disciple of the poisonous hand medicine king, is there any reason not to practice poisonous sand palm?"
Hu Fei let out an "ah" and said, "It turns out that Master Respect Master Wu'an is the real poisonous hand medicine king. Has he passed away? Why are you brothers and sisters so ruthless?"
Cheng Lingsu sighed softly, went to the big tree and pulled out the silver hairpin and bone-penetrating nail, folded up the two words of the master, and put them back in his arms.At this time, the luminous handwriting on the first inscription has disappeared, and only the two lines of black characters written by "Famous and Unknown" are exposed.
Hu Fei said: "Did you write this note?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, Master has the medicine scriptures hand-copied by my elder brother. I am familiar with his characters. It's just that I didn't learn these few lines well. His calligraphy is much steeper." Although Hu Fei is strong in martial arts, no one taught him to read since he was a child, so when it comes to calligraphy, he knows nothing. Hearing what she said, in a word I can't make it through either.
Cheng Lingsu said: "Master's handwriting has always been written with three refining alum water. It needs to be baked on the fire before it appears. I traced it again with the bone marrow of a tiger bone, and it shone in the dark. Look!" As she said, she turned off the lights, and the flashing handwriting of her master's handwriting appeared on the paper. After lighting up the lantern, the flashing words disappeared, and all she saw was the short note written by Cheng Lingsu.This short note is naturally written between the two lines of the manuscript.Therefore, it is not surprising that the same piece of paper is short when it is bright, and a handwritten letter is seen in the dark.But Murong Jingyue and others were engrossed in fighting each other, and suddenly saw the master's handwriting appearing on the tree, they couldn't help but be shocked, and Cheng Lingsu came out with a candle in his hand. For a moment, they only thought about the book "" The God of Medicine King", even if you are careful, you will no longer prevent the candle in her hand from emitting poisonous gas.
As these weird things were uncovered one by one, Hu Fei suddenly realized, with a look of joy on his face that he understood one more thing.
Cheng Lingsu smiled and said, "Why are you so happy after being hit by the poisonous sand palm?" Hu Fei smiled and said, "You promised to save my life, and there is a disciple of the King of Medicine here. What else should I worry about?" Cheng Lingsu Yanran With a smile, she suddenly puffed up and blew out the lantern again. She walked to the bamboo basket and made some slight noises, not knowing what she was holding in the bamboo basket. After a while, she came back The lantern was lit.
Hu Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and saw that she had changed into a white shirt and blue trousers.Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "There is no poisonous powder on this clothes, lest you worry about accidentally touching my clothes." Hu Fei sighed and said, "You have thought of everything. My age is living on dogs Yes, if you are 10% smart, that's fine."
Cheng Lingsu said: "I've learned how to use poison, and I've been thinking about it all day long. How to poison others, so that others don't know it, and I want to prevent others from poisoning me, so I think about it. Cough, how late is it?" In your heart, the sea and the sky are wide and free?" He sighed softly, took Hu Fei's right hand, used a silver hairpin to pierce a small hole in each of his fingers, and then squeezed the two thumbs of both hands from the palm of his hand to the fingers. Pressed, the blood flowing out of the small hole has a purple-black color.The acupuncture point was just right, she didn't feel pain, she pushed the black blood, and her gestures were extremely dexterous, after a while, the blood that came out gradually turned bright red.
At this moment, Murong Jingyue, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved.Hu Fei said: "Wake up!" Cheng Lingsu said: "I won't wake up, there are at least three hours." Hu Fei said: "I picked him up just now, and this person seems to be dead, I don't know at all. He got home from being stiff, and I got home from being stupid." Cheng Lingsu smiled and said, "If you keep saying that you are stupid, then you are not stupid."
After a while, Hu Fei said: "They always ask about the 'King of Medicine', that is a medicine book, isn't it?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, this is what my master spent his whole life writing. A book. Let me show you!" Stretching his hand into his bosom, he took out a small bundle, opened the outer cloth bag, and inside was a layer of oiled paper. Inside the oiled paper was a yellow book six inches long and four inches wide. paper book.Cheng Lingsu used a silver hairpin to open the pages of the book, only to see that every page was densely filled with petty small script. It is self-evident that every page of this book is full of poison, and it would be bad luck for an ignorant person to flip through it casually. No.
Hu Fei saw that she was confiding in himself, and did not hide any important secrets, so he liked it in his heart, but when he saw this Poison Sutra, he felt hairy, and seemed to feel that even his eyes would be poisoned, so he couldn't help showing a feeling of shrinking meaning.Cheng Lingsu wrapped the medicine book and put it back in his arms, then took out a yellow vial, poured out some purple powder, applied it on the pinhole of Hu Fei's finger, and massaged his arm joints a few times, the powder was sucked out of the pinhole go in.
Hu Fei said happily: "I have never seen such a miraculous skill, a big national player." Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "What is that? If you see my master's ability to cut people open, cut bones and reattach limbs, that is called What about magical skills." Hu Fei was fascinated leisurely, and said: "Yes, although Master is good at using poison, he must also be good at curing diseases and saving lives, otherwise how can he be called the "King of Medicine"?"
Cheng Lingsu's face showed joy, and said: "If my master hears these words from you, he will definitely like you. If you are his confidant, it's a pity that his old man is no longer here. "As he spoke, his eyes turned red involuntarily.
Hu Fei said: "Your hunchbacked sister said that your master is biased and only cares about the little apprentice. This is probably true. I think you are the only one who remembers the master." Cheng Lingsu said: "My master has accepted four apprentices in his life. Son, I saw these four people all night. Murong Jingyue is my senior brother, Jiang Tieshan is my second senior brother, and Xue Que is my third senior sister. Master didn’t want to accept any more disciples at first, but seeing my three senior brothers and sisters It's too shameful, I'm afraid no one can control them after a hundred years, and the three of them will commit crimes, and they will be unscrupulous and harmful to others, so in their later years, they accepted me as a young apprentice." She paused, He also said: "My three senior brothers and sisters are not bad in nature, I only married the second senior brother for the third senior sister, the senior senior brother and the two of them formed a deep hatred, and none of the three refused to give up. It's unmanageable."
Hu Fei nodded and said: "Your elder brother also wants to marry your third senior sister, doesn't he?" Cheng Lingsu said: "It's been a long time since these things have passed, and I don't quite understand. I only know that the elder brother originally had a sister-in-law. My elder sister liked the senior brother, so she poisoned the senior sister-in-law to death." Hu Fei said "ah", only to feel that learning the skill of poisoning will do more harm than benefit, and he will naturally become cruel.
Cheng Lingsu said again: "In a fit of anger, senior brother gave Third Senior Sister a kind of poison, which made her hunchbacked and limp. Second Senior Brother has always liked Third Senior Sister secretly. Although she is disabled, she does not dislike her. So I married her. For some reason, after they got married, the senior elder brother missed all the benefits of the third senior sister, and went to pester her again. My master made the three of them very upset. Enlightened and taught me a lesson, the three of them went back and forth and were always entangled. My second elder brother was more upright and never had a second thought about his wife. They built this Yaowangzhuang with pig iron by the Dongting Lake, outside the village I planted blood chestnuts again, originally to guard against the entanglement of the elder brother, but later the two of them made enemies in the rivers and lakes, and this Yaowangzhuang became their place to avoid their enemies."
Hu Fei nodded and said: "I see. No wonder there are different opinions about the Poison Hand Medicine King in the world. Some say he is a scholar, some say he is a rough man, some say he is a hunchbacked woman, and some say he is an old monk." Cheng Lingsu Said: "The real poisonous hand drug king, in fact, can't tell who it is. My master doesn't like this title. He said: 'I use poison to cure diseases and save people. It is shameful to call me "medicine king". Adding the word "poison hand", could it be that the old monk Wu'an killed people casually?' Just because my master is famous for using poison, and my three brothers and sisters used it too much, sometimes it is unavoidable to accidentally hurt good people, so "poison hand medicine The four characters "Wang" are very famous in Jianghu. The master forbids the brothers and sisters to disclose their identities and names. In this way, as long as there is a bizarre poisoning case somewhere, everything will be accounted for. Poison Hand Medicine King' on the head, do you think it's wrong?"
Hu Fei said: "Then your master should come forward and argue clearly." Cheng Lingsu sighed: "This kind of thing is indisputable..." At this point, Hu Fei had massaged and applied medicine on Hu Fei's five fingers, stood up, Said: "We still have two things to do tonight, if not..." At this point, he suddenly stopped and smiled.
Hu Fei said: "If I hadn't been disobedient, these two things would be very easy to do, and it would be a lot of trouble now."
Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "It's good if you know, let's go!" Hu Fei pointed to Murong Jingyue who was lying on the ground and said, "Do you want to invite you into the basket again?" Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "Excuse me." Murong Jingyue put his clothes on his back, put him in the bamboo basket, and lifted him up on his shoulders.
Cheng Lingsu was leading the way, but he walked southwest. After walking for three miles, he came to a hut and shouted: "Uncle Wang, go!" With a burden.Hu Fei thought to himself: "Another miracle has come out!" With the lessons learned from the past, how could he dare to ask more questions, and immediately followed Cheng Lingsu closely, and he really didn't leave her side for three steps.Cheng Lingsu looked back and smiled, expressing his approval. The man followed behind the two without saying a word.Cheng Lingsu turned and headed north. After the fourth watch, he arrived outside Yaowangzhuang. She took out three large clumps of blue flowers from the bamboo basket and gave each of Hu Fei and the man a clump. Then she walked past the iron round house and called, "Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother!" Sister, can you open the door?" He asked three times, but there was no sound in the round room. Cheng Lingsu nodded to the man.The man put down the burden, and at one end of the burden was a bellows.He pulls the bellows, burns red coals, and melts iron. He is a blacksmith.Hu Fei was amazed.After a while, I saw the man pouring red-hot iron juice on the round house, touching the gaps in the house, and pouring it one by one, it turned out that he blocked the passages for opening and closing doors and windows on the iron house one by one.Although Jiang Tieshan and Xue Que were in the room, they thought they were afraid of Cheng Lingsu, so they didn't dare to come out to stop him. Seeing that most of the gaps in the iron house had been sealed, Cheng Lingsu beckoned to Hu Fei.The two of them crossed Xue'aoli to the east, and walked northwest for tens of feet, only to see big rocks everywhere.Cheng Lingsu counted the steps in his mouth, walked a few steps to the north, then to the west, and said softly: "Yes!" Lighted the lantern and saw a bowl-sized cave between two big rocks. Put it in the air with a rock.Cheng Lingsu whispered: "This is their ventilation hole." He took out the half of the candle and lit it, placed it at the entrance of the cave, and stood with Hu Fei to watch from a distance. After the candle was lit, a very light smoke was released, and with the breeze, it curled into the hole. Seeing such a scene, Hu Fei was even more in awe of Cheng Lingsu's methods, but thinking of the poisonous smoke smoked by the people in the iron house, where is there any way out?I couldn't help feeling pity, and thought: "This faint smoke is already extremely difficult to perceive, even if it is discovered in time and the air hole is blocked, it will still suffocate to death in the end, the only difference is that it will die sooner or later. Did I not stop her when I saw her doing such a vicious act of exterminating her family?" I saw Cheng Lingsu took out a small round fan, fanned the candle lightly, and all the light smoke from the candle went in through the rock hole. Hu Fei couldn't bear it anymore, stood up abruptly, and said, "Miss Ling, your Brothers and sisters, do you really have unresolvable grievances with you?" Cheng Lingsu said: "No." Hu Fei said: "Your master has ordered you to clean up the house, right?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Not yet. To this point." Hu Fei said: "Then...then..." I was so excited, I didn't know how to word it, and couldn't continue for a while. Cheng Lingsu raised his head, and said lightly: "What? Look at you in such a hurry!" Hu Fei settled down and said, "If your brothers and sisters... have nothing wrong with killing them, I'd better leave a note for them to correct their mistakes." The road of self-renewal." Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, my master said the same." After a pause, he said: "It's a pity that you didn't see my master, otherwise you, old and young, must be quite reasonable." , the round fan in his hand still kept moving. Hu Fei scratched his head, pointed to the candle and said, "This poisonous smoke... won't this poisonous smoke kill people?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Ah, so our big brother Hu is showing mercy. I want to save people's lives , I’m not hurting the world.” As she spoke, she turned her head and smiled slightly, her expression quite charming.Hu Fei blushed, thinking that he had been a fool again. Although he didn't understand why spraying poisonous smoke was to save people, he felt very comfortable in his heart. Cheng Lingsu stretched out the little finger of his left hand, carved a light mark on the candle with his nails, and said: "Please show me, don't let the wind blow it out, the candle will be extinguished when you touch this line." Hu Fei, stand up straight, look around, and listen to the sound.Hu Fei followed her example and fanned light smoke into the rock hole. Cheng Lingsu walked around ten feet away, saw nothing unusual, sat on a round rock, and said: "The one who led the wolf to step on my flower garden tonight is the son of the second senior brother, named Xiao Tie." Hu Fei let out an "ah".Said: "Is he also down here?" He pointed to the middle of the rock hole.Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "Yes! We put in so much effort to save him. First, Xun fainted the brothers and sisters, so he won't get in the way when doing things." Hu Fei thought: "That's how it is." Cheng Lingsu said: "Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister have a rival named Meng. They have been at the Dongting Lake for half a year. They have tried their best, but they can't get rid of the blood chestnut poison outside the iron house, and they can't get in. He died in Dongting Lake. The two people by the lake, Nineteen, belong to the Meng family. The blue flowers I planted are the nemesis of blood short chestnuts. The second brother and the others didn't know it until you and Master Zhong wore blue flowers on their bodies, so they are not afraid of poisonous invasion. That's when they realized it." Hu Fei said: "Yes, when Brother Zhong and I came, we heard someone screaming in the iron house, it must be because of this." Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "This bloody little chestnut Toxicity, there is no medicine to cure it, you have to eat the chestnuts on the tree regularly, so as not to be harmed by the smell of the tree. Fortunately, although the blood chestnut is very poisonous, it is not easy to harm humans and animals, because as long as there is such a tree The tree grows, and there is no grass growing within dozens of steps around it, and the insects and ants are extinct, you can tell it at a glance." Hu Fei said: "No wonder there is not even half a grass root around this iron house. I tied the mouths of the two horses, but still The poison cannot be avoided, if you hadn't given me the blue flower..." Speaking of this, thinking of the recklessness of tonight, I couldn't help but secretly startled, and said to myself: "No wonder the world turns pale when the word 'King of Poisonous Hand Medicine' is mentioned, It is not for nothing that Second Brother Zhong is on guard." Cheng Lingsu said: "My blue flower is a new variety that I tried out, and I finally got it and didn't throw it away halfway." Hu Fei smiled and said: "The color of this flower is delicate and beautiful, and it is very beautiful." Cheng Lingsu said: "Fortunately, this blue flower It's beautiful, but if it's not beautiful, you throw it away, right?" Hu Fei didn't know what was right for a while, and just said: "Uh...uh..." He was thinking in his heart: "If this blue flower is really ugly, I will not Will he still be hiding by his side? Is it thanks to Huamei that he saved my life and Brother Zhong's life?" At this moment, a gust of wind blew over, and Hu Fei was thinking to himself, but he didn't raise his fan to block the candle, and the candle flame flickered and went out immediately.Hu Fei yelled softly: "Ah yo!" He hurriedly took out the torch, and was about to light another candle, only to hear Cheng Lingsu say in the dark: "Forget it, it's almost enough." Hu Fei heard her displeasure in her tone, Thinking about what she asked me to do, I always didn't do it properly, as if everything was careless, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, for some reason, I always lose my mind tonight." Cheng Lingsu remained silent. Hu Fei said: "I was thinking about your words, but I didn't expect a gust of wind to come. Girl Ling, I thought about it. When you gave me this blue flower, I didn't know it was a life-saving thing, but since it is someone I will take care of the things I have given you with good intentions." Cheng Lingsu said "Yes" when he heard his words sincerely. In the darkness, the two sat facing each other. After a while, Hu Fei said: "I have no father or mother since I was a child, so it is rare for someone to give me something." Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, I have no father or mother since I was a child , haven’t you lived so long?” Then he lit the lantern and said, “Let’s go!” Hu Fei peeked at her face, she didn't seem to be angry, she didn't dare to ask more questions at the moment, and followed behind. Before the two returned to the iron house, they saw the blacksmith sitting on the ground smoking.Cheng Lingsu said: "Uncle Wang, please open this seam!" The point she was referring to was exactly what she asked the blacksmith to weld on just now.The blacksmith didn't even ask why, he took out his hammer and chisel, and started chiseling with a clang, and within a meal, the welded seam had been dug open.Cheng Lingsu said, "Open the door!" The blacksmith beat the hammer east and west, turned the hammer upside down, and pried it with the handle of the hammer. With a bang, a large iron plate fell down, revealing a door six feet high and three feet wide.The blacksmith seemed to know the structure of the iron house like the back of his hand. When he stretched out his hand to pull the door, a small iron ladder stretched out, leading from the door to the inside. Cheng Lingsu said: "Let's leave the blue flowers outside." The three of them threw all the blue flowers on the ground.Cheng Lingsu was about to step into the house by the small iron ladder, sniffed lightly, and said, "Brother Hu, why do you still have blue flowers on your body? Don't bring them in." Hu Fei responded, "Oh!" He took out a cloth bag, opened it, and said, "Your nose is really good, you know that I wrapped it in the bag." The cloth bag contained his family's boxing scripture and knife manual, and some miscellaneous things. The blue flower that Cheng Lingsu gave him during the day was also in it, but it had been wrapped for a long time, and it had already withered.Hu Fei picked it out and put it on the iron door.Cheng Lingsu saw that he treasured this blue flower, and knew that he hadn't lied just now, so he liked it very much. He smiled at him and said, "You're not lying!" Hu Fei was startled, and said to himself: " Why should I lie to you?" Cheng Lingsu pointed to the door of the iron house and said, "The people inside are used to taking blood chestnuts, and this blue flower is the nemesis, they can't stand it." Holding up the lantern, he stepped inside.Hu Fei and Blacksmith Wang followed in. After walking down the iron ladder, there is a narrow corridor, and after two turns, you come to a small hall.I saw calligraphy and painting couplets hanging on the wall, and Xiangfei bamboo tables and chairs, which are very elegantly furnished.Hu Fei wondered secretly: "That Jiang Tieshan has a rough appearance, but he lives in such a place. It seems to be in the home of a talented scholar." Cheng Lingsu didn't stop, and kept walking backward.Hu Fei followed her into a room that looked like a kitchen, and he couldn't help being surprised by what he saw.
I saw Jiang Tieshan and Xue Que lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.When the light smoke from the candle made by the Qixin Begonia penetrated through the rock hole, Hu Fei had expected this to happen, but he didn't think it was different. The strange thing was that a big iron wok was filled with hot water, There was a young man sitting there.This person is naked to the waist, the water in the wok is constantly spitting out, it seems that although the water is not boiling, it is already very hot, maybe this person has been boiled alive. Hu Fei rushed forward, and was about to pull the man out of the wok, Cheng Lingsu said: "Don't move! Look at him...see if he still has clothes on him." Hu Fei looked into the wok and said "He's wearing trousers." Cheng Lingsu blushed slightly, nodded, approached the wok, sniffed the man's breath, and said, "Go add some firewood to the stove!" Hu Fei was startled, and glanced at the man again, and recognized him as the man who had attracted the wolves to trample the flower garden. He saw his eyes closed, his mouth wide open, his strong chest heaving slightly, and he was not dead. But obviously fainted and lost consciousness, he asked: "Is he Xiao Tie? Their son?" Cheng Lingsu said: "That's right, my senior brother and sister want to get rid of the poison in him, but there is no such thing as Seven Heart Begonia. Pollen can never be cured." Hu Fei was relieved now, seeing that the fire in the stove was weak, he added a piece of hard firewood, fearing that the water would be too hot and Xiao Tie couldn't bear it, so he didn't dare to add more.Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "Add a few more sticks, it won't be cooked or simmered." Hu Fei followed his advice and stuffed two more sticks into the stove. Cheng Lingsu reached into the wok, tested the heat and cold of the water, took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom, poured out some yellow powder, and stuffed it into the noses of Jiang Tieshan and Xue Que. After a while, the two sneezed a few times, opened their eyes and woke up, and saw Cheng Lingsu holding a ladle in his hand, poured a ladle of hot water from the wok, and poured it out of the water tank Add a scoop of cold water to the wok.The couple looked at each other, and the surprised and angry expression when they woke up immediately turned into joy, knowing that since she was willing to save her, the only son would escape death.The two stood up and remained silent, feeling an indescribable feeling in each of their hearts: Aiko had obviously been killed by her, but now she came to rescue her again, thanking her was useless, but if she didn't save her Besides, she is just a junior junior sister, and her son is older than her, but the master is biased, and the skills passed on to her are far better than her husband and wife, and she is restrained one after another. , there is no room for fighting back. As soon as Cheng Lingsu saw that the water vapor was a little thick, he poured out a ladle of hot water and added a ladle of cold water to gradually release the poison from Jiang Xiaotie's body.After lingering for a while, she suddenly said to Blacksmith Wang, "If you don't do anything, you won't get revenge!" Blacksmith Wang said: "Yes!" Picking up a piece of hardwood by the stove, she hit Jiang Tieshan with a chuck. Jiang Tieshan was furious, and shouted: "What are you doing?" He grabbed the hard wood and was about to fight back.Xue Que said: "Tieshan, we have to ask our junior sister today, can't we afford it these few times?" Jiang Tieshan was stunned, and said angrily: "Okay!" Let go of the hard wood.Blacksmith Wang struck down with a stick of firewood. Jiang Tieshan neither dodged nor parried, but held his head upright for him to strike hard.Blacksmith Wang scolded: "You robbed me of my land, forced me to build you an iron house, and beat me so hard that I broke three ribs and lay in bed for half a year. You son of a bitch, I can't imagine that today will happen." Chai slammed it hard, he had been hammering iron for decades, although he didn't know martial arts, the blow from his right arm was so strong, after a few blows, the hard wood broke. Jiang Tieshan never fought back, he gritted his teeth and let him beat him. From the scolding voice of blacksmith Wang, Hu Fei knew that he had been greatly bullied by Jiang Tieshan and his wife. Today, Cheng Lingsu upheld justice, and it was a very gratifying move for him to express his anger.Blacksmith Wang broke three sticks of firewood. Seeing that Jiang Tieshan's face was covered with blood, he gritted his teeth and kept silent. Not thinking of himself, he threw the hard wood to the ground, clasped his fists to Cheng Lingsu and said, "Miss Cheng, today you have done this for me, and it is hard for a villain to repay you." Cheng Lingsu said, "Uncle Wang, you don't need to be polite." He said to Xue Que: "Third Senior Sister, you return the land to Uncle Wang, for the sake of my little sister, and don't seek revenge from him in the future, okay?" Xue Que said in a low voice, "We will never set foot in Hunan in this life. Save the environment. Besides, this kind of person will not make us never forget it." Cheng Lingsu said: "Okay, that's it. Uncle Wang, you go back first, it's none of your business here." Blacksmith Wang was full of joy, picked up half of the hardwood that was folded on the ground, and thought: "You bully beat me so badly back then! This half of hardwood is bloody, I want to hide it like a treasure." He saluted Cheng Lingsu and Hu Fei, then turned and went out. Hu Fei saw this simple and honest face full of joy like a child, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the tragedy in the Beidi Temple in Foshan Town.That day, the bully Feng Tiannan was restrained by himself, and he had nothing to say when he scolded Zhong Ahsi, but he only left for a moment, and Zhong Ahsi's family was dead in the hall.The treachery and cruelty of Jiang Tieshan and his wife are not inferior to Feng Tiannan, and they may not keep their promises. I am afraid that once Cheng Lingsu is gone, they will immediately attack Wang Tiejiang.He thought of this, chased to the door, and shouted: "Uncle Wang, I have something to tell you." Blacksmith Wang stood still and looked back at him.Hu Fei said: "Uncle Wang, this couple surnamed Jiang are not good people. You sell the field quickly and go far away, don't stay here too long. Their methods are vicious." Tiejiang Wang was taken aback, feeling very reluctant to part with his hometown where he had lived for decades, and said, "They promised never to set foot in Hunan Province." Hu Fei said, "Can you trust what this kind of person says?" Tiejiang Wang suddenly realized, Lian said: "Yes, yes! I will leave tomorrow!" He stepped out of the iron gate, turned around and asked, "What is your surname?" Hu Fei said: "My surname is Hu." Blacksmith Wang said: "Okay, Mr. Hu, Let's see you again, you have to treat Miss Cheng well in the rest of your life." This time it was Hu Fei's turn to be startled, and asked, "What did you say?" Blacksmith Wang laughed and said, "Master Hu, Blacksmith Wang is not a fool, can't I see it? Miss Cheng is smart and has a heart." Well, let’s not mention this ability. She treats you with sincerity, and you should listen to her more in this life.” She laughed loudly.Hu Fei heard that there was a reason for his words, but it was inconvenient to say more, so he had to vaguely agree, saying: "Goodbye." Blacksmith Wang said: "Master Hu, goodbye, goodbye!"He walked a few steps, suddenly let go of his voice, and sang a love song by the Dongting Lake. Just listen to him sing: "Little girl treats her lover--deep kindness, Don't let your sister down - a relationship, When you see her face—be good to her, When you don't see her face—you have to worry about it seventeen or eight times a day! " His voice is a little hoarse, but listening to this love song in the quiet night, there is a soul-stirring lingering taste.Standing at the door, Hu Fei heard the singing fade away and disappeared, and then returned to the kitchen.
I saw that Jiang Xiaotie had woken up, standing on the ground, his whole body was dripping wet, and his upper body was already covered with clothes. The three members of the Jiang family were jealous and resentful of Cheng Lingsu, but they couldn't help but feel a little bit about her magical skills of using medicine and medicine. A sense of envy.The three of them stood coldly, neither thanking nor showing hostility. Cheng Lingsu took out three bunches of white dried herbal medicine from his bosom, put them on the table, and said, "When you leave here, the members of the Meng family will definitely track and intercept them. These three bunches of Daigo incense have been refined with seven-heart crabapple, enough to Repel the enemy, but don't kill and make new enemies." When Jiang Tieshan heard this, his face became happy, and he said, "Little Junior Sister, thank you for helping me to be thoughtful." Hu Fei thought to himself: "She saved your son's life, and you don't say a word of thanks until you help you defeat the enemy. Thank you, I think this enemy must be very strong, but I don’t know what kind of heroes the Meng family is, even this pair of poison masters can’t do anything, they can only stay in the iron house.” Cheng Lingsu said: "Xiao Tie, the two people who were poisoned by the ghost bat are all from the Meng family, right? You are so ruthless!" When she said this, Xiang Xiaotie didn't even look at him. Jiang Xiaotie was startled, and thought: "How do you know?" He murmured: "I...I..." Jiang Tieshan said: "Junior Junior Sister, Xiao Tie made a big mistake in this matter, brother Yu has already punished him. " As he spoke, he walked over and pulled up Xiao Tie's shirt, and pushed him to turn around behind his back, revealing welts all over his back, bloody and fresh scars. Cheng Lingsu had already seen it when he treated him for the poison, but thinking of using a poison that has no cure, it is really a taboo in this sect, so I have to mention it again.The reason why she knew that the two were poisoned to death by Xiao Tie was because she saw the whip marks on his back, so she deduced it.She remembered the earnest warning of her former teacher, Master Wu'an: "Our school is good at using poison, and others hate it deeply. In fact, poisoning hurts people, but it has a more compassionate heart than weapons and fists. After poisoning, if the other party repents and begs for mercy, If you swear to change your mistakes, or if you find that you have hurt the wrong person, you can save them. But if you kill someone with a knife, you cannot be resurrected. Therefore, the disciples of this sect will never use any poison that cannot be cured by medicine to hurt people. , the other party is a big treacherous and evil, and we must leave him a way to turn around and start a new life." Thinking about this great precept of our sect, the second senior brother and the third senior sister must often mention it to Xiao Tie, and I don’t know why he How dare you make a bold foul?Seeing that his back was riddled with whip marks, criss-crossing, thinking that his parents beat him hard, and this time he suffered from boiling water, it was also a heavy punishment, so he bowed and saluted, and said: "Senior brother, sister, little sister有得罪，咱们后会有期。” 姜铁山还了一揖，薛鹊只哼了一声，却不理会。程灵素也不以为意，向胡斐作个眼色，相偕出门。 两人跨出大门，姜铁山自后赶上，叫道：“小师妹！”程灵素回过头来，见他脸上有为难之色，欲言又止，已知其意，问道：“二师哥有何吩咐？”姜铁山道：“那三束醍醐香，须得有三个功力相若之人运气施为，方能拒敌。小铁功力尚浅，愚兄想请师妹……”说到这里，虽极盼她留下相助，总觉说不出口，“想请师妹……”几个字连说了几遍，接不下话。 程灵素指着门外的竹箩道：“大师哥便在这竹箩之中。小妹留下的海棠花粉，足够替他解毒。二师哥何不乘机跟他修好言和，也可得一强助？”姜铁山大喜，他一直为大师哥的纠缠不休而烦恼，想不到小师妹竟已安排了这个一举两得的妙计，既退强敌，又解了师兄弟间多年的嫌隙，忙连声道谢，将竹箩提进门去。 胡斐从铁门板上拾起那束枯了的蓝花，放入怀中。程灵素晃了他一眼，向姜铁山挥手道别，说道：“二师哥，你头脸出血，身上毒气已然散去，可别怪小妹无礼啊。”姜铁山一楞，登时醒悟，心道：“她叫王铁匠打我，固是惩我昔日的凶横，但也未始不无善意。鹊妹毒气未散，还得给她放血呢！”想起事事早在这个小师妹的算中，自己远非其敌，终于死心塌地，息了抢夺师父遗著“药王神篇”的念头。 程灵素和胡斐回到茅舍，锺兆文兀自沉醉未醒。这一晚整整忙了一夜，此时天已大明，程灵素取出解药，要胡斐喂给锺兆文服下，然后两人各拿了一把锄头，将花圃中践踏未尽的蓝花细细连根锄去，不留半棵，尽数深埋入土。 程灵素道：“我先见狼群来袭，还道是孟家的人来抢蓝花，后来见小铁项颈中挂了一大束药草，才猜到他的用意。”胡斐道：“他怎么中了你七心海棠之毒？黑暗中我没瞧得清楚。”程灵素道：“我用透骨钉打了他一钉，钉上有七心海棠的毒质，还带着那封假冒大师哥的信，约他们在树林中相会。那透骨钉是大师哥自铸的独门暗器，二师哥三师姊向来认得，自是没有怀疑。”胡斐道：“你大师哥的暗器，你却从何处得来？”程灵素笑道：“你倒猜猜。”胡斐微一沉吟，道：“啊！是了，那时你大师哥已给你擒住，昏晕在竹箩之中，暗器是从他身上搜出来的。”程灵素笑道：“不错。大师哥见了我的蓝花后早已起疑，你们向他问路，他便跟踪而来，正好自投竹箩。” 两人说得高兴，一齐倚锄大笑，忽听得身后一个声音说道：“什么好笑啊？”两人回过头来，只见锺兆文迷迷糊糊地站在屋檐下，脸上红红的尚带酒意。胡斐一愣，道：“灵姑娘，苗大侠伤势不轻，我们须得便去。这解药如何用法，请你指点。”程灵素道：“苗大侠伤在眼目，那是人身最柔嫩之处，用药轻重，大有斟酌。不知他伤得怎样？”这一句话可问倒了胡斐。他一意想请她去施救，只是素无渊源，人家又是个年轻女子，便像姜铁山那样，那一句相求的话竟然说不出口来。 程灵素微笑道：“你若求我，我便去。只是你也须答应我一件事。”胡斐大喜，忙道：“答应得，答应得，什么事啊？”程灵素笑道：“这时还不知道，将来我想到了便跟你说，就怕你日后要赖。”胡斐道：“我赖了便是个贼王八！”程灵素一笑，道：“我收拾些替换衣服，咱们便走。”胡斐见她身子瘦瘦怯怯，低声道：“你一夜没睡，只怕太累了。”程灵素轻轻摇头，翩然进房。 锺兆文哪知自己沉睡半夜，已起了不少变故，一时之间胡斐也来不及向他细说，只说解药已经求到，这位程姑娘是治伤疗毒的好手，答应同去给苗人凤医眼。锺兆文还待要问，程灵素已从房中出来，背上负了一个小包，手中捧着一小盆花。 这盆花的叶子也和寻常海棠无异，花瓣紧贴枝干而生，花枝如铁，花瓣上有七个小小的黄点。胡斐道：“这便是大名鼎鼎的七心海棠了？”程灵素捧着送到他面前，胡斐吓了一跳，不自禁地向后退了一步。程灵素噗哧一笑，道：“这花的根茎花叶，均是奇毒无比，但不加制炼，不会伤人。你只要不去吃它，便死不了。”胡斐笑道：“你当我是牛羊么，吃生草生花？”将那盆花接了过来。程灵素扣上板门。 三人来到白马寺镇上，向药材铺取回寄存的兵刃。锺兆文取出银两，买了三匹坐骑，不敢耽搁，就原路赶回。 那白马寺是个小镇，买到三匹坐骑已经很不容易，自不是什么骏马良驹，行到天黑也不过赶了两百来里。三人贪赶路程，错过了宿头，眼见三匹马困乏不堪，已经不能再走，只得在一座小树林中就地野宿。 程灵素实在支持不住了，倒在胡斐找来的一堆枯草上，不久便即睡去。锺兆文叫胡斐也睡，说自己昨晚已经睡过，今晚可以守夜。 胡斐睡到半夜，忽听得东边隐隐有虎啸之声，一惊而醒。那虎啸声不久便即远去，胡斐却再也难以入睡，说道：“锺二哥你睡吧，反正我睡不着，后半夜我来守。” 他打坐片刻，听程灵素和锺兆文呼吸沉稳，睡得甚酣，心想：“这一次多管闲事，耽搁了好几天，追寻凤天南便更为不易了，却不知他去不去北京参与掌门人大会？”东思西想，不能宁定，从怀中取出布包，打了开来，又将那束蓝花包在包里，忽然想起王铁匠所唱的那首情歌，心中一动：“难道她当真对我很好，我却没瞧出来么？” 正自出神，忽听得程灵素笑道：“你这包儿中藏着些什么宝贝？给我瞧瞧成不成？”胡斐回过头来，淡淡月光之下，只见她不知何时已然醒来，坐在枯草之上。 胡斐道：“我当是宝贝，你瞧来或许不值一笑。”将布包摊开了送到她面前，说道：“这是我小时候平四叔给我削的一柄小竹刀，这是我结义兄长赵三哥给的一朵红绒花，这是我祖传的拳经刀谱……”指到袁紫衣所赠的那只玉凤，顿了一顿，说道：“这是朋友送的一件玩意儿。” 那玉凤在月下发出柔和的莹光，程灵素听他语音有异，抬起头来，说道：“是一个姑娘朋友吧？”胡斐脸上一红，道：“是！”程灵素笑道：“这还不是价值连城的宝贝吗？”说着微微一笑，将布包还给胡斐，径自睡了。 胡斐呆了半晌，也不知是喜是愁，耳边似乎隐隐响起了王铁匠的歌声： 你不见她面时——天天要十七八遍挂在心！
Cheng Lingsu was leading the way, but he walked southwest. After walking for three miles, he came to a hut and shouted: "Uncle Wang, go!" With a burden.Hu Fei thought to himself: "Another miracle has come out!" With the lessons learned from the past, how could he dare to ask more questions, and immediately followed Cheng Lingsu closely, and he really didn't leave her side for three steps.Cheng Lingsu looked back and smiled, expressing his approval. The man followed behind the two without saying a word.Cheng Lingsu turned and headed north. After the fourth watch, he arrived outside Yaowangzhuang. She took out three large clumps of blue flowers from the bamboo basket and gave each of Hu Fei and the man a clump. Then she walked past the iron round house and called, "Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother!" Sister, can you open the door?" He asked three times, but there was no sound in the round room. Cheng Lingsu nodded to the man.The man put down the burden, and at one end of the burden was a bellows.He pulls the bellows, burns red coals, and melts iron. He is a blacksmith.Hu Fei was amazed.After a while, I saw the man pouring red-hot iron juice on the round house, touching the gaps in the house, and pouring it one by one, it turned out that he blocked the passages for opening and closing doors and windows on the iron house one by one.Although Jiang Tieshan and Xue Que were in the room, they thought they were afraid of Cheng Lingsu, so they didn't dare to come out to stop him. Seeing that most of the gaps in the iron house had been sealed, Cheng Lingsu beckoned to Hu Fei.The two of them crossed Xue'aoli to the east, and walked northwest for tens of feet, only to see big rocks everywhere.Cheng Lingsu counted the steps in his mouth, walked a few steps to the north, then to the west, and said softly: "Yes!" Lighted the lantern and saw a bowl-sized cave between two big rocks. Put it in the air with a rock.Cheng Lingsu whispered: "This is their ventilation hole." He took out the half of the candle and lit it, placed it at the entrance of the cave, and stood with Hu Fei to watch from a distance. After the candle was lit, a very light smoke was released, and with the breeze, it curled into the hole. Seeing such a scene, Hu Fei was even more in awe of Cheng Lingsu's methods, but thinking of the poisonous smoke smoked by the people in the iron house, where is there any way out?I couldn't help feeling pity, and thought: "This faint smoke is already extremely difficult to perceive, even if it is discovered in time and the air hole is blocked, it will still suffocate to death in the end, the only difference is that it will die sooner or later. Did I not stop her when I saw her doing such a vicious act of exterminating her family?" I saw Cheng Lingsu took out a small round fan, fanned the candle lightly, and all the light smoke from the candle went in through the rock hole. Hu Fei couldn't bear it anymore, stood up abruptly, and said, "Miss Ling, your Brothers and sisters, do you really have unresolvable grievances with you?" Cheng Lingsu said: "No." Hu Fei said: "Your master has ordered you to clean up the house, right?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Not yet. To this point." Hu Fei said: "Then...then..." I was so excited, I didn't know how to word it, and couldn't continue for a while. Cheng Lingsu raised his head, and said lightly: "What? Look at you in such a hurry!" Hu Fei settled down and said, "If your brothers and sisters... have nothing wrong with killing them, I'd better leave a note for them to correct their mistakes." The road of self-renewal." Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, my master said the same." After a pause, he said: "It's a pity that you didn't see my master, otherwise you, old and young, must be quite reasonable." , the round fan in his hand still kept moving. Hu Fei scratched his head, pointed to the candle and said, "This poisonous smoke... won't this poisonous smoke kill people?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Ah, so our big brother Hu is showing mercy. I want to save people's lives , I’m not hurting the world.” As she spoke, she turned her head and smiled slightly, her expression quite charming.Hu Fei blushed, thinking that he had been a fool again. Although he didn't understand why spraying poisonous smoke was to save people, he felt very comfortable in his heart. Cheng Lingsu stretched out the little finger of his left hand, carved a light mark on the candle with his nails, and said: "Please show me, don't let the wind blow it out, the candle will be extinguished when you touch this line." Hu Fei, stand up straight, look around, and listen to the sound.Hu Fei followed her example and fanned light smoke into the rock hole. Cheng Lingsu walked around ten feet away, saw nothing unusual, sat on a round rock, and said: "The one who led the wolf to step on my flower garden tonight is the son of the second senior brother, named Xiao Tie." Hu Fei let out an "ah".Said: "Is he also down here?" He pointed to the middle of the rock hole.Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "Yes! We put in so much effort to save him. First, Xun fainted the brothers and sisters, so he won't get in the way when doing things." Hu Fei thought: "That's how it is." Cheng Lingsu said: "Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister have a rival named Meng. They have been at the Dongting Lake for half a year. They have tried their best, but they can't get rid of the blood chestnut poison outside the iron house, and they can't get in. He died in Dongting Lake. The two people by the lake, Nineteen, belong to the Meng family. The blue flowers I planted are the nemesis of blood short chestnuts. The second brother and the others didn't know it until you and Master Zhong wore blue flowers on their bodies, so they are not afraid of poisonous invasion. That's when they realized it." Hu Fei said: "Yes, when Brother Zhong and I came, we heard someone screaming in the iron house, it must be because of this." Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "This bloody little chestnut Toxicity, there is no medicine to cure it, you have to eat the chestnuts on the tree regularly, so as not to be harmed by the smell of the tree. Fortunately, although the blood chestnut is very poisonous, it is not easy to harm humans and animals, because as long as there is such a tree The tree grows, and there is no grass growing within dozens of steps around it, and the insects and ants are extinct, you can tell it at a glance." Hu Fei said: "No wonder there is not even half a grass root around this iron house. I tied the mouths of the two horses, but still The poison cannot be avoided, if you hadn't given me the blue flower..." Speaking of this, thinking of the recklessness of tonight, I couldn't help but secretly startled, and said to myself: "No wonder the world turns pale when the word 'King of Poisonous Hand Medicine' is mentioned, It is not for nothing that Second Brother Zhong is on guard." Cheng Lingsu said: "My blue flower is a new variety that I tried out, and I finally got it and didn't throw it away halfway." Hu Fei smiled and said: "The color of this flower is delicate and beautiful, and it is very beautiful." Cheng Lingsu said: "Fortunately, this blue flower It's beautiful, but if it's not beautiful, you throw it away, right?" Hu Fei didn't know what was right for a while, and just said: "Uh...uh..." He was thinking in his heart: "If this blue flower is really ugly, I will not Will he still be hiding by his side? Is it thanks to Huamei that he saved my life and Brother Zhong's life?" At this moment, a gust of wind blew over, and Hu Fei was thinking to himself, but he didn't raise his fan to block the candle, and the candle flame flickered and went out immediately.Hu Fei yelled softly: "Ah yo!" He hurriedly took out the torch, and was about to light another candle, only to hear Cheng Lingsu say in the dark: "Forget it, it's almost enough." Hu Fei heard her displeasure in her tone, Thinking about what she asked me to do, I always didn't do it properly, as if everything was careless, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, for some reason, I always lose my mind tonight." Cheng Lingsu remained silent. Hu Fei said: "I was thinking about your words, but I didn't expect a gust of wind to come. Girl Ling, I thought about it. When you gave me this blue flower, I didn't know it was a life-saving thing, but since it is someone I will take care of the things I have given you with good intentions." Cheng Lingsu said "Yes" when he heard his words sincerely. In the darkness, the two sat facing each other. After a while, Hu Fei said: "I have no father or mother since I was a child, so it is rare for someone to give me something." Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, I have no father or mother since I was a child , haven’t you lived so long?” Then he lit the lantern and said, “Let’s go!” Hu Fei peeked at her face, she didn't seem to be angry, she didn't dare to ask more questions at the moment, and followed behind. Before the two returned to the iron house, they saw the blacksmith sitting on the ground smoking.Cheng Lingsu said: "Uncle Wang, please open this seam!" The point she was referring to was exactly what she asked the blacksmith to weld on just now.The blacksmith didn't even ask why, he took out his hammer and chisel, and started chiseling with a clang, and within a meal, the welded seam had been dug open.Cheng Lingsu said, "Open the door!" The blacksmith beat the hammer east and west, turned the hammer upside down, and pried it with the handle of the hammer. With a bang, a large iron plate fell down, revealing a door six feet high and three feet wide.The blacksmith seemed to know the structure of the iron house like the back of his hand. When he stretched out his hand to pull the door, a small iron ladder stretched out, leading from the door to the inside. Cheng Lingsu said: "Let's leave the blue flowers outside." The three of them threw all the blue flowers on the ground.Cheng Lingsu was about to step into the house by the small iron ladder, sniffed lightly, and said, "Brother Hu, why do you still have blue flowers on your body? Don't bring them in." Hu Fei responded, "Oh!" He took out a cloth bag, opened it, and said, "Your nose is really good, you know that I wrapped it in the bag." The cloth bag contained his family's boxing scripture and knife manual, and some miscellaneous things. The blue flower that Cheng Lingsu gave him during the day was also in it, but it had been wrapped for a long time, and it had already withered.Hu Fei picked it out and put it on the iron door.Cheng Lingsu saw that he treasured this blue flower, and knew that he hadn't lied just now, so he liked it very much. He smiled at him and said, "You're not lying!" Hu Fei was startled, and said to himself: " Why should I lie to you?" Cheng Lingsu pointed to the door of the iron house and said, "The people inside are used to taking blood chestnuts, and this blue flower is the nemesis, they can't stand it." Holding up the lantern, he stepped inside.Hu Fei and Blacksmith Wang followed in. After walking down the iron ladder, there is a narrow corridor, and after two turns, you come to a small hall.I saw calligraphy and painting couplets hanging on the wall, and Xiangfei bamboo tables and chairs, which are very elegantly furnished.Hu Fei wondered secretly: "That Jiang Tieshan has a rough appearance, but he lives in such a place. It seems to be in the home of a talented scholar." Cheng Lingsu didn't stop, and kept walking backward.Hu Fei followed her into a room that looked like a kitchen, and he couldn't help being surprised by what he saw.
I saw Jiang Tieshan and Xue Que lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.When the light smoke from the candle made by the Qixin Begonia penetrated through the rock hole, Hu Fei had expected this to happen, but he didn't think it was different. The strange thing was that a big iron wok was filled with hot water, There was a young man sitting there.This person is naked to the waist, the water in the wok is constantly spitting out, it seems that although the water is not boiling, it is already very hot, maybe this person has been boiled alive. Hu Fei rushed forward, and was about to pull the man out of the wok, Cheng Lingsu said: "Don't move! Look at him...see if he still has clothes on him." Hu Fei looked into the wok and said "He's wearing trousers." Cheng Lingsu blushed slightly, nodded, approached the wok, sniffed the man's breath, and said, "Go add some firewood to the stove!" Hu Fei was startled, and glanced at the man again, and recognized him as the man who had attracted the wolves to trample the flower garden. He saw his eyes closed, his mouth wide open, his strong chest heaving slightly, and he was not dead. But obviously fainted and lost consciousness, he asked: "Is he Xiao Tie? Their son?" Cheng Lingsu said: "That's right, my senior brother and sister want to get rid of the poison in him, but there is no such thing as Seven Heart Begonia. Pollen can never be cured." Hu Fei was relieved now, seeing that the fire in the stove was weak, he added a piece of hard firewood, fearing that the water would be too hot and Xiao Tie couldn't bear it, so he didn't dare to add more.Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "Add a few more sticks, it won't be cooked or simmered." Hu Fei followed his advice and stuffed two more sticks into the stove. Cheng Lingsu reached into the wok, tested the heat and cold of the water, took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom, poured out some yellow powder, and stuffed it into the noses of Jiang Tieshan and Xue Que. After a while, the two sneezed a few times, opened their eyes and woke up, and saw Cheng Lingsu holding a ladle in his hand, poured a ladle of hot water from the wok, and poured it out of the water tank Add a scoop of cold water to the wok.The couple looked at each other, and the surprised and angry expression when they woke up immediately turned into joy, knowing that since she was willing to save her, the only son would escape death.The two stood up and remained silent, feeling an indescribable feeling in each of their hearts: Aiko had obviously been killed by her, but now she came to rescue her again, thanking her was useless, but if she didn't save her Besides, she is just a junior junior sister, and her son is older than her, but the master is biased, and the skills passed on to her are far better than her husband and wife, and she is restrained one after another. , there is no room for fighting back. As soon as Cheng Lingsu saw that the water vapor was a little thick, he poured out a ladle of hot water and added a ladle of cold water to gradually release the poison from Jiang Xiaotie's body.After lingering for a while, she suddenly said to Blacksmith Wang, "If you don't do anything, you won't get revenge!" Blacksmith Wang said: "Yes!" Picking up a piece of hardwood by the stove, she hit Jiang Tieshan with a chuck. Jiang Tieshan was furious, and shouted: "What are you doing?" He grabbed the hard wood and was about to fight back.Xue Que said: "Tieshan, we have to ask our junior sister today, can't we afford it these few times?" Jiang Tieshan was stunned, and said angrily: "Okay!" Let go of the hard wood.Blacksmith Wang struck down with a stick of firewood. Jiang Tieshan neither dodged nor parried, but held his head upright for him to strike hard.Blacksmith Wang scolded: "You robbed me of my land, forced me to build you an iron house, and beat me so hard that I broke three ribs and lay in bed for half a year. You son of a bitch, I can't imagine that today will happen." Chai slammed it hard, he had been hammering iron for decades, although he didn't know martial arts, the blow from his right arm was so strong, after a few blows, the hard wood broke. Jiang Tieshan never fought back, he gritted his teeth and let him beat him. From the scolding voice of blacksmith Wang, Hu Fei knew that he had been greatly bullied by Jiang Tieshan and his wife. Today, Cheng Lingsu upheld justice, and it was a very gratifying move for him to express his anger.Blacksmith Wang broke three sticks of firewood. Seeing that Jiang Tieshan's face was covered with blood, he gritted his teeth and kept silent. Not thinking of himself, he threw the hard wood to the ground, clasped his fists to Cheng Lingsu and said, "Miss Cheng, today you have done this for me, and it is hard for a villain to repay you." Cheng Lingsu said, "Uncle Wang, you don't need to be polite." He said to Xue Que: "Third Senior Sister, you return the land to Uncle Wang, for the sake of my little sister, and don't seek revenge from him in the future, okay?" Xue Que said in a low voice, "We will never set foot in Hunan in this life. Save the environment. Besides, this kind of person will not make us never forget it." Cheng Lingsu said: "Okay, that's it. Uncle Wang, you go back first, it's none of your business here." Blacksmith Wang was full of joy, picked up half of the hardwood that was folded on the ground, and thought: "You bully beat me so badly back then! This half of hardwood is bloody, I want to hide it like a treasure." He saluted Cheng Lingsu and Hu Fei, then turned and went out. Hu Fei saw this simple and honest face full of joy like a child, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the tragedy in the Beidi Temple in Foshan Town.That day, the bully Feng Tiannan was restrained by himself, and he had nothing to say when he scolded Zhong Ahsi, but he only left for a moment, and Zhong Ahsi's family was dead in the hall.The treachery and cruelty of Jiang Tieshan and his wife are not inferior to Feng Tiannan, and they may not keep their promises. I am afraid that once Cheng Lingsu is gone, they will immediately attack Wang Tiejiang.He thought of this, chased to the door, and shouted: "Uncle Wang, I have something to tell you." Blacksmith Wang stood still and looked back at him.Hu Fei said: "Uncle Wang, this couple surnamed Jiang are not good people. You sell the field quickly and go far away, don't stay here too long. Their methods are vicious." Tiejiang Wang was taken aback, feeling very reluctant to part with his hometown where he had lived for decades, and said, "They promised never to set foot in Hunan Province." Hu Fei said, "Can you trust what this kind of person says?" Tiejiang Wang suddenly realized, Lian said: "Yes, yes! I will leave tomorrow!" He stepped out of the iron gate, turned around and asked, "What is your surname?" Hu Fei said: "My surname is Hu." Blacksmith Wang said: "Okay, Mr. Hu, Let's see you again, you have to treat Miss Cheng well in the rest of your life." This time it was Hu Fei's turn to be startled, and asked, "What did you say?" Blacksmith Wang laughed and said, "Master Hu, Blacksmith Wang is not a fool, can't I see it? Miss Cheng is smart and has a heart." Well, let’s not mention this ability. She treats you with sincerity, and you should listen to her more in this life.” She laughed loudly.Hu Fei heard that there was a reason for his words, but it was inconvenient to say more, so he had to vaguely agree, saying: "Goodbye." Blacksmith Wang said: "Master Hu, goodbye, goodbye!"He walked a few steps, suddenly let go of his voice, and sang a love song by the Dongting Lake. Just listen to him sing: "Little girl treats her lover--deep kindness, Don't let your sister down - a relationship, When you see her face—be good to her, When you don't see her face—you have to worry about it seventeen or eight times a day! " His voice is a little hoarse, but listening to this love song in the quiet night, there is a soul-stirring lingering taste.Standing at the door, Hu Fei heard the singing fade away and disappeared, and then returned to the kitchen.
I saw that Jiang Xiaotie had woken up, standing on the ground, his whole body was dripping wet, and his upper body was already covered with clothes. The three members of the Jiang family were jealous and resentful of Cheng Lingsu, but they couldn't help but feel a little bit about her magical skills of using medicine and medicine. A sense of envy.The three of them stood coldly, neither thanking nor showing hostility. Cheng Lingsu took out three bunches of white dried herbal medicine from his bosom, put them on the table, and said, "When you leave here, the members of the Meng family will definitely track and intercept them. These three bunches of Daigo incense have been refined with seven-heart crabapple, enough to Repel the enemy, but don't kill and make new enemies." When Jiang Tieshan heard this, his face became happy, and he said, "Little Junior Sister, thank you for helping me to be thoughtful." Hu Fei thought to himself: "She saved your son's life, and you don't say a word of thanks until you help you defeat the enemy. Thank you, I think this enemy must be very strong, but I don’t know what kind of heroes the Meng family is, even this pair of poison masters can’t do anything, they can only stay in the iron house.” Cheng Lingsu said: "Xiao Tie, the two people who were poisoned by the ghost bat are all from the Meng family, right? You are so ruthless!" When she said this, Xiang Xiaotie didn't even look at him. Jiang Xiaotie was startled, and thought: "How do you know?" He murmured: "I...I..." Jiang Tieshan said: "Junior Junior Sister, Xiao Tie made a big mistake in this matter, brother Yu has already punished him. " As he spoke, he walked over and pulled up Xiao Tie's shirt, and pushed him to turn around behind his back, revealing welts all over his back, bloody and fresh scars. Cheng Lingsu had already seen it when he treated him for the poison, but thinking of using a poison that has no cure, it is really a taboo in this sect, so I have to mention it again.The reason why she knew that the two were poisoned to death by Xiao Tie was because she saw the whip marks on his back, so she deduced it.She remembered the earnest warning of her former teacher, Master Wu'an: "Our school is good at using poison, and others hate it deeply. In fact, poisoning hurts people, but it has a more compassionate heart than weapons and fists. After poisoning, if the other party repents and begs for mercy, If you swear to change your mistakes, or if you find that you have hurt the wrong person, you can save them. But if you kill someone with a knife, you cannot be resurrected. Therefore, the disciples of this sect will never use any poison that cannot be cured by medicine to hurt people. , the other party is a big treacherous and evil, and we must leave him a way to turn around and start a new life." Thinking about this great precept of our sect, the second senior brother and the third senior sister must often mention it to Xiao Tie, and I don’t know why he How dare you make a bold foul?Seeing that his back was riddled with whip marks, criss-crossing, thinking that his parents beat him hard, and this time he suffered from boiling water, it was also a heavy punishment, so he bowed and saluted, and said: "Senior brother, sister, little sister有得罪，咱们后会有期。” 姜铁山还了一揖，薛鹊只哼了一声，却不理会。程灵素也不以为意，向胡斐作个眼色，相偕出门。 两人跨出大门，姜铁山自后赶上，叫道：“小师妹！”程灵素回过头来，见他脸上有为难之色，欲言又止，已知其意，问道：“二师哥有何吩咐？”姜铁山道：“那三束醍醐香，须得有三个功力相若之人运气施为，方能拒敌。小铁功力尚浅，愚兄想请师妹……”说到这里，虽极盼她留下相助，总觉说不出口，“想请师妹……”几个字连说了几遍，接不下话。 程灵素指着门外的竹箩道：“大师哥便在这竹箩之中。小妹留下的海棠花粉，足够替他解毒。二师哥何不乘机跟他修好言和，也可得一强助？”姜铁山大喜，他一直为大师哥的纠缠不休而烦恼，想不到小师妹竟已安排了这个一举两得的妙计，既退强敌，又解了师兄弟间多年的嫌隙，忙连声道谢，将竹箩提进门去。 胡斐从铁门板上拾起那束枯了的蓝花，放入怀中。程灵素晃了他一眼，向姜铁山挥手道别，说道：“二师哥，你头脸出血，身上毒气已然散去，可别怪小妹无礼啊。”姜铁山一楞，登时醒悟，心道：“她叫王铁匠打我，固是惩我昔日的凶横，但也未始不无善意。鹊妹毒气未散，还得给她放血呢！”想起事事早在这个小师妹的算中，自己远非其敌，终于死心塌地，息了抢夺师父遗著“药王神篇”的念头。 程灵素和胡斐回到茅舍，锺兆文兀自沉醉未醒。这一晚整整忙了一夜，此时天已大明，程灵素取出解药，要胡斐喂给锺兆文服下，然后两人各拿了一把锄头，将花圃中践踏未尽的蓝花细细连根锄去，不留半棵，尽数深埋入土。 程灵素道：“我先见狼群来袭，还道是孟家的人来抢蓝花，后来见小铁项颈中挂了一大束药草，才猜到他的用意。”胡斐道：“他怎么中了你七心海棠之毒？黑暗中我没瞧得清楚。”程灵素道：“我用透骨钉打了他一钉，钉上有七心海棠的毒质，还带着那封假冒大师哥的信，约他们在树林中相会。那透骨钉是大师哥自铸的独门暗器，二师哥三师姊向来认得，自是没有怀疑。”胡斐道：“你大师哥的暗器，你却从何处得来？”程灵素笑道：“你倒猜猜。”胡斐微一沉吟，道：“啊！是了，那时你大师哥已给你擒住，昏晕在竹箩之中，暗器是从他身上搜出来的。”程灵素笑道：“不错。大师哥见了我的蓝花后早已起疑，你们向他问路，他便跟踪而来，正好自投竹箩。” 两人说得高兴，一齐倚锄大笑，忽听得身后一个声音说道：“什么好笑啊？”两人回过头来，只见锺兆文迷迷糊糊地站在屋檐下，脸上红红的尚带酒意。胡斐一愣，道：“灵姑娘，苗大侠伤势不轻，我们须得便去。这解药如何用法，请你指点。”程灵素道：“苗大侠伤在眼目，那是人身最柔嫩之处，用药轻重，大有斟酌。不知他伤得怎样？”这一句话可问倒了胡斐。他一意想请她去施救，只是素无渊源，人家又是个年轻女子，便像姜铁山那样，那一句相求的话竟然说不出口来。 程灵素微笑道：“你若求我，我便去。只是你也须答应我一件事。”胡斐大喜，忙道：“答应得，答应得，什么事啊？”程灵素笑道：“这时还不知道，将来我想到了便跟你说，就怕你日后要赖。”胡斐道：“我赖了便是个贼王八！”程灵素一笑，道：“我收拾些替换衣服，咱们便走。”胡斐见她身子瘦瘦怯怯，低声道：“你一夜没睡，只怕太累了。”程灵素轻轻摇头，翩然进房。 锺兆文哪知自己沉睡半夜，已起了不少变故，一时之间胡斐也来不及向他细说，只说解药已经求到，这位程姑娘是治伤疗毒的好手，答应同去给苗人凤医眼。锺兆文还待要问，程灵素已从房中出来，背上负了一个小包，手中捧着一小盆花。 这盆花的叶子也和寻常海棠无异，花瓣紧贴枝干而生，花枝如铁，花瓣上有七个小小的黄点。胡斐道：“这便是大名鼎鼎的七心海棠了？”程灵素捧着送到他面前，胡斐吓了一跳，不自禁地向后退了一步。程灵素噗哧一笑，道：“这花的根茎花叶，均是奇毒无比，但不加制炼，不会伤人。你只要不去吃它，便死不了。”胡斐笑道：“你当我是牛羊么，吃生草生花？”将那盆花接了过来。程灵素扣上板门。 三人来到白马寺镇上，向药材铺取回寄存的兵刃。锺兆文取出银两，买了三匹坐骑，不敢耽搁，就原路赶回。 那白马寺是个小镇，买到三匹坐骑已经很不容易，自不是什么骏马良驹，行到天黑也不过赶了两百来里。三人贪赶路程，错过了宿头，眼见三匹马困乏不堪，已经不能再走，只得在一座小树林中就地野宿。 程灵素实在支持不住了，倒在胡斐找来的一堆枯草上，不久便即睡去。锺兆文叫胡斐也睡，说自己昨晚已经睡过，今晚可以守夜。 胡斐睡到半夜，忽听得东边隐隐有虎啸之声，一惊而醒。那虎啸声不久便即远去，胡斐却再也难以入睡，说道：“锺二哥你睡吧，反正我睡不着，后半夜我来守。” 他打坐片刻，听程灵素和锺兆文呼吸沉稳，睡得甚酣，心想：“这一次多管闲事，耽搁了好几天，追寻凤天南便更为不易了，却不知他去不去北京参与掌门人大会？”东思西想，不能宁定，从怀中取出布包，打了开来，又将那束蓝花包在包里，忽然想起王铁匠所唱的那首情歌，心中一动：“难道她当真对我很好，我却没瞧出来么？” 正自出神，忽听得程灵素笑道：“你这包儿中藏着些什么宝贝？给我瞧瞧成不成？”胡斐回过头来，淡淡月光之下，只见她不知何时已然醒来，坐在枯草之上。 胡斐道：“我当是宝贝，你瞧来或许不值一笑。”将布包摊开了送到她面前，说道：“这是我小时候平四叔给我削的一柄小竹刀，这是我结义兄长赵三哥给的一朵红绒花，这是我祖传的拳经刀谱……”指到袁紫衣所赠的那只玉凤，顿了一顿，说道：“这是朋友送的一件玩意儿。” 那玉凤在月下发出柔和的莹光，程灵素听他语音有异，抬起头来，说道：“是一个姑娘朋友吧？”胡斐脸上一红，道：“是！”程灵素笑道：“这还不是价值连城的宝贝吗？”说着微微一笑，将布包还给胡斐，径自睡了。 胡斐呆了半晌，也不知是喜是愁，耳边似乎隐隐响起了王铁匠的歌声： 你不见她面时——天天要十七八遍挂在心！
