Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

After being busy for half the night, Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu washed their hands and faces in the creek tens of feet behind the temple.Cheng Lingsu took out the biscuits from the package behind his back, and the two ate them with the clear water in the stream.Hu Fei fought repeatedly, and was also overjoyed and sad. At this moment, he felt his hands were sore and his feet were weak, and he was tired. He lay down by the stream and rested for more than half an hour. Then he regained his energy and went back to the Yaowang Temple. The two went back to the monk's house, gently opened the door, and saw Ma Chunhua dead on the bed, with a smile on his face and a very happy expression.Hu Fei wept and said: "She wants me to bury her next to her husband's tomb. Now the wind is urgent, and you and I are chasing you and me everywhere. Where can I find a coffin at this time? It's better to cremate her and send her ashes to be buried " Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes."

Hu Fei bent down and was about to pick up Ma Chunhua's body when Cheng Lingsu suddenly grabbed his arm and shouted, "Wait a minute!" Hu Fei heard her voice was serious and urgent, so he withdrew his hands and asked, "What?" Before Cheng Lingsu could answer, Hu Fei had heard the very subtle sound of slow breathing behind him, and when he turned around, he saw two people hiding behind the board door But it was Cheng Lingsu's senior brother Murong Jingyue and third senior sister Xue Que. At this moment, Cheng Lingsu raised his hand, and a stream of brown red scorpion powder flew out, hitting the bottom of the bed where Ma Chunhua was lying.Hu Fei thought: "Under the bed, there must be a very powerful enemy hidden."

But when Xue Que stretched out his hand to push the door open, and was about to jump out, Hu Fei moved extremely fast, hugged Cheng Lingsu's slender waist at the bend of his right hand, and went out backwards. When he passed the door, he flew a leg and kicked it on the door panel .The door panel slammed backwards with a bang, trapping Murong Jingyue and Xue Que between the door panel and the wall.It was fine for Murong Jingyue, Xue Que's tall hunchback was crushed by the brick wall, and he couldn't help but yelled loudly. Just as Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu stood still at the door, they saw red mist under the bed, and the red scorpion powder had been shaken out by someone's palm force, followed by a flash of a figure, and a person sprang out with a long body.There was only a burst of choking and choking, and the man raised the tiger brace in his hand and smashed his head on the top of Hu Fei's head.With a glance, Hu Fei saw the face of that person clearly, it was Shi Wan'an who claimed to be the "King of Poisonous Hand Medicine".

Cheng Lingsu shouted: "Don't touch his weapon!" Hu Fei had long been wary of her senior brothers and sisters, knowing that these people were poisonous all over their bodies, and if they got a little bit of it, they would cause endless troubles, so he swiped three times to the left. One step away, avoiding Shi Wan'an's tiger brace, with a swipe sound, he made a single-handed strike, and made a move of "remonstrating fruit to return to sweetness", and turned around to fight back.This move returned the sword very fast, Shi Wan'an couldn't dodge, the tiger braced himself in a critical situation, and blocked the knife, there was a loud bang, the two jumped back, Shi Wan'an held the iron in the tiger's brace The bead only vibrated loudly and loudly.

At this time Murong Jingyue and Xue Que had come out of the monk's house, standing behind Shi Wan'an.Shi Wan'an and Hu Fei fought this move head-on, but felt that the opponent's swordsmanship was exquisite and his physical strength was strong, and his right arm was slightly numb from the shock, so he stopped attacking immediately. In Hu Fei's heart, he also secretly expressed his dissatisfaction: "This man is good at using poison, and his martial arts are so good. My move 'Remonstrance Fruit Huigan' is so unexpected that he can catch it." I only heard Murong Jingyue say: "Junior Sister Cheng, why don't you kowtow when you see the uncle?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Where did we find a uncle? I've never heard of it."

Shi Wan'an said coldly: "Have you heard the name 'Poison Hand God Owl'? Doesn't your master never dare to mention me?" Cheng Lingsu said: "'Poison Hand God Owl'? I seem to have heard the name. I The master said that he did have a junior brother in the past, but he abused poison to harm people and committed all kinds of evil, so he was kicked out of the door by the master long ago. Senior Shi, is that you?" Shi Wan'an smiled slightly, and said calmly: "We This school pays attention to the use of poison, since there is the word 'poison', why pretend to be a good person in a hypocritical manner? Shi would rather be a real villain than pretend to be a hypocrite like your master."

Cheng Lingsu said angrily: "When did my master kill an innocent person?" Shi Wan said angrily: "Does your master kill fewer people? He himself naturally said that the people he poisoned to death were all heinous and deserved to die, but In the eyes of others, this may not be the case. As for the family and children of the deceased, they definitely don't think so." Hu Fei's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "There is some truth to what this person said." Cheng Lingsu said: "That's right. My master also deeply regretted hurting too many people in his life. Later, he became a monk and worshiped the Buddha to make amends. The old man earnestly warned the four of us, brothers and sisters, that we should never hurt people easily unless it is absolutely necessary. The younger generation will never hurt people. Never took a life."

Shi Wan'an sneered and said: "What's the use of hypocrisy? I think you are smart and smart, and you are an outstanding talent in my sect. The tricks in the master meeting were so beautifully played, even your uncle almost fell for it." Daoer." Cheng Lingsu said: "You claim to be my uncle and falsely use the name of my master 'King of Poisonous Medicine'. If the real 'King of Poisonous Medicine' is alive, when you reach for the Jade Dragon Cup, how can you not see that the cup is dead? Stained with red scorpion powder? I sprayed the 'three centipede and five toad smoke' on the hall, how could my master and other old people not realize it?"

These two sentences only made Shi Wan'an's cheeks turn red, and it was difficult for him to answer.It should be known that when he was young, he studied with Master Wu'an in the same discipline, because he used poison unscrupulously and hurt good people, so he was expelled from the school by the master.In the following decades, he fought against Wu'an several times.Both of them are great experts in poisoning, the medicines used by both sides are powerful and the poisons are strange, one can imagine.In several fights, Shi Wan'an was always at a disadvantage every time. If Master Wu'an hadn't always thought about the friendship of the same family and was merciful, his life would have been taken already.During the last fight against poison, Shi Wan'an was finally blinded by the "broken heart grass".He fled to the Savage Mountain in Burma, and gradually pulled out the poison of the "broken heart grass" with silver spider silk, and his eyes were restored. Although he could see the sun again, his eyesight was greatly damaged.The Jade Dragon cup was stained with red scorpion powder, and the color of the smoke from the dry pipe was slightly different, and he couldn't distinguish these subtleties.

What's more, after Cheng Lingsu cultivated the "King of All Poisons" poisonous weed "Seven Heart Begonia", the red scorpion powder was mixed with the powder of the seven heart Begonia leaves, and the "Three Centipede and Five Toad Smoke" was added with the stamens of the Seven Heart Begonia, In this way, the peculiar smell of the two poisons was completely lost, but the toxicity was even more severe. Shi Wan'an spent ten years in the Savage Mountain before healed his eyes. When he returned to the Central Plains, he heard the news of Master Wu'an's death. As long as the Taoist died, he would be able to rule the world, but his brother closed the door at a young age. Disciple, do you have such great kung fu?That night Cheng Lingsu disguised himself as a dry old woman, a master who is good at using poison in this world, Shi Wan'an knew everything, he really never dreamed that this little old woman took a few puffs of cigarettes, and he fell into a big somersault .

Cheng Lingsu's two questions only made him speechless, but Murong Jingyue said: "Junior sister, you offended my uncle, and you still don't kowtow to apologize. You are really arrogant and bold. When the old man got angry, he immediately told you to die without burial." Land. Junior Sister Xue and I have already joined the old man's sect, if you obediently donate "The God of Medicine King", maybe the old man likes it and accept you as a disciple, wouldn't it be good?" Cheng Lingsu was extremely angry, and thought to herself that this brother and sister betrayed their masters and joined the disciples of their sect.But she remained calm and said: "It turns out that the two of you have joined Senior Shi's sect, so I can no longer call you brothers and sisters. Where is Senior Brother Jiang? Has he also joined Senior Shi's sect?" Murong Jingyue said : "Brother Jiang is ignorant of current affairs and does not listen to teachings. He has been executed for my master." Cheng Lingsu felt sour, Jiang Tieshan was upright and upright, although she acted brutally, she was the most upright among her three senior brothers and sisters, but unexpectedly died at the hands of Shi Wan'an, and asked again: "Sister Xue, where is your son Xiaotie? Is he fine?" Xue Que said coldly, "He's dead too." Cheng Lingsu said, "I don't know what kind of disease it is?" Xue Que said angrily, "It's my son, what do you want me to do?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, my little sister shouldn't meddle in other people's business. I haven't congratulated the two of you yet. When did Brother Murong and Third Sister Xue get married? Let's learn from each other, and we don't even invite my little sister to the wedding wine." A glass." Murong Jingyue, Jiang Tieshan, and Xue Que are entangled in grievances and grievances all their lives, which is miserable and terrifying.At the beginning, Xue Que fell in love with Murong Jingyue bitterly, but Murong Jingyue married someone else.In a rage, Xue Que poisoned his wife to death.Murong Jingyue took revenge for his wife and used poison to ruin Xue Que's appearance, making her hunched and ugly.Jiang Tieshan always liked this junior sister. Although she was ugly, Jiang Tieshan didn't think it was too bad, and married her as his wife.But after they got married and had a child, Murong Jingyue remembered all kinds of benefits of this junior sister, kept pestering her, and finally turned against Jiang Tieshan.Jiang Xue and his wife were forced to cast iron as their house in order to resist the encroachment of the elder brother.Who knows that in the end Jiang Tieshan was finally killed by Shi Wan'an, but Murong Jingyue and Xue Que were still married. Cheng Lingsu knew all the twists and turns in the process, and thought: "Second Senior Brother died under Shi Wan'an, probably because he refused to betray his predecessor and joined him, but it was not because of Senior Brother's instigation. Third Senior Sister To actually remarry big brother, maybe he is also guilty of murdering his own husband." So he sighed: "Xiao Tie was poisoned that day, and it took a lot of effort for my younger sister to try to save him. Unexpectedly, he still died in the 'Peach Blossom' Miasma, that's what fate should be." Murong Jingyue's complexion changed drastically, and he said, "How do you know..." After saying these four words, he suddenly stopped talking, and exchanged a glance with Xue Que. Cheng Lingsu said: "Little sister is just guessing." It turned out that Murong Jingyue had a unique technique of poisoning. He collected the miasma poison of "Peach Blossom Miasma" at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou, and made a poisonous bomb.Jiang Tieshan, Xue Que and his wife fought against him for many years, and later they also figured out a way to cure the poison.Cheng Lingsu tried to test it out, but Murong Jingyue admitted that the matter was true, and because of surprise, he casually admitted it.Cheng Lingsu was even angrier in his heart, and said: "Third Senior Sister, you are so vicious, Second Senior Brother treats you like this, you actually conspired with Senior Brother and killed your own husband and son." It must be known that Jiang Xiaotie was poisoned by Murong Jingyue's peach blossom miasma Afterwards, Xue Que had his own remedy, and since she had the heart not to save them, she was also an accomplice in the death of Jiang Tieshan and Jiang Xiaotie's father and son, even though she did not do it herself.From the four words that Murong Jingyue blurted out, Cheng Lingsu guessed the inside story of this tragic change in human relations. Xue Que was eager to change the subject, and said: "Little sister, my master intends to pay attention, that is your luck, why don't you kowtow to worship your teacher?" Cheng Lingsu said: "If I don't worship my teacher, I will be like the second brother Isn't it?" Murong Jingyue said: "That's not necessarily the case. If you are blessed and don't enjoy it, why bother to force it on you? It's just that you should hand in the "Medical King God Chapter". My teacher is lenient." Huai, you will not be held accountable for offending his old man during the master meeting." Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "That's a good statement, but "The God of Medicine" was written by my teacher, Master Wu'an, since the three of us, brothers and sisters, have all joined Senior Shi's school, we should abandon the kung fu taught by our teacher. Learn from the beginning. Senior Shi and the former teacher have different schools. Although they may not be better than the former teacher, they must have their own strengths, otherwise the two would not worship another enlightened teacher. My luck' These words are gone. Since the "Yao Wang Shen Pian" is useless, my little sister should burn it!" He took out a yellow paper manuscript from his pocket, shook the flame, and then Click on the brochure. When Shi Wan'an first heard her saying that he was going to burn "The God of Medicine", he secretly laughed in his heart: "This "Shen Chapter of Medicine" is the culmination of Wu'an thief Bald's life's painstaking effort, why are you willing to burn it?" He took out the copy and the fire book, and thought: "Sly little girl like you, knowing that your brothers and sisters are going to rob "Yao Wang Shen Pian", why don't you fake a fake book to deceive people? Put on an air in front of me , Isn’t that just playing tricks?” So even though she saw her setting fire to the books, she smiled and said nothing, and ignored her.After the manuscript was heated up, I turned it over, and saw that the paper was old, and the handwriting in the manuscript seemed to be Wu'an's handwriting. I couldn't help being surprised, and then thought: "Oh, it's not good! This girl has probably already written the book. She remembers Chinese characters very well, this book is useless to her, so she must never burn it!" He hurriedly said: "Stop!" He slashed with his palm, and a gust of wind immediately extinguished the fire. Cheng Lingsu said: "Hey, I don't understand this. If Senior Shi's medical skill is better than that of the former teacher, what is the use of this book? If he can't beat the former teacher, how can he accept the junior as his disciple?" Murong Jingyue said: "Our master's use of poisons and medicines is much higher than that of our predecessors. But the sea does not choose trickles, and stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. This "The God of Medicine" is both It took my teacher's whole life's effort, my teacher used it to read it, and I can point out the mistakes and shortcomings." He was born as a scholar, and when he speaks, he has a lot of literary and forceful words. Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "Your knowledge is getting better and better. Hmph! Two are hiding in the corner of the door, and one is hiding under the bed, trying to plot against Brother Hu and me. Senior Shi, there is one thing this junior wants to ask. After being cleared of the maze, the junior presented the "Yao Wang Shen Pian" with both hands, and begged the senior to accept the junior as a disciple." Shi Wan knew that what she asked must be a tricky and weird question, and he might not be able to answer it, but seeing that "The God of Medicine" was in her hands, and she could destroy it with a single move of her hand, he didn't want to let it go Breaking faces with her, he said, "What do you want to ask me?" Cheng Lingsu said: "The Miao people in Guizhou have a kind of 'Green Silkworm Poison Gu'..." When Shi Wan'an heard the word "Green Silkworm Poison Gu", his expression changed immediately, and she continued: "Take the poison of the Green Silkworm Gu". Insect eggs are crushed into powder, placed on clothes and utensils, if others touch it by mistake, they will be poisoned by the Gu poison. This is one of the three major Gu poisons of the Miao people, isn't it?" Shi Wan'an nodded and said, "That's right. The little girl knows quite a few things." He came to the Central Plains from Savage Mountain, and when he learned that Master Wu'an was dead, he angered his disciples and wanted to kill them all as soon as possible.Unexpectedly, Murong Jingyue is a very spineless person, as soon as Shi Wan'an restrained him, he begged for mercy, and said that his master left a copy of "The God of Medicine", which fell into the hands of his junior sister, and he is willing to worship him as a teacher and guide him to seize.Although Shi Wan'an hated Master Wu'an for cutting his bones, he was in awe of him in his heart. Hearing that he had left his writings, he expected that there must be countless precious methods in kung fu knowledge about using poison, so he accepted it immediately. Murong Jingyue is a disciple.Later, he followed his instigation, killed Jiang Tieshan and his son, and included Xue Que.Shi Wan'an, Murong Jingyue, Jiang Tieshan, and Xue Que all moved their hands. Seeing that the martial arts of the three of them are mediocre, their ability to use poison is also far from their master. I heard that Cheng Lingsu is just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. , and he didn't take it to heart at all, as long as he saw it, he wouldn't be able to catch it? Having followed her way in the meeting of the masters, Shi Wan'an still did not admit defeat, only hated that his eyes were damaged by the "broken heart grass", and his eyesight was not good, so he didn't see the "red scorpion powder" and "three centipedes five" "Toad" smoke came, but the martial arts that Hu Fei showed in the meeting made him quite afraid.He followed secretly, and when Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu went to Taoranting for their appointment, the three master and apprentice hid in the backyard of Yaowang Temple.The main purpose of the three of them was to seize the "Shen Piece of the Medicine King". Seeing that the Red Flower Society had many heroes and powerful people, they kept hiding in the backyard and did not dare to show up.It wasn't until Hu Cheng and the other two bid farewell to the heroes, and they had a meal and rest by the stream, that the three of them hid in Ma Chunhua's room.Unexpectedly, Cheng Lingsu is extremely obedient, and he is alert in time when a crisis is imminent. At this time, when Cheng Lingsu mentioned the "Green Silkworm Poison Gu", he was really surprised: "I never thought that this little girl is so good, and her brothers and sisters in the same school are far behind." The slightest thought of underestimating the enemy. Cheng Lingsu said again: "The egg powder of the green silkworm poisonous Gu is colorless and odorless when placed on any object and container. It is definitely not easy for others to detect it. It's just that the poisonous powder does not pass through flesh and blood, and the toxicity is not strong. There is a way to do it." It must be passed on by flesh and blood before it can be fatal. There are two things in the world, the poison powder is on the human body, but it has a faint green color. Senior Shi poisoned Miss Ma's body, if he only put it on her shirt, It's not easy to see, but in order to achieve perfection, even her face and hands are placed." When Hu Fei heard this, he realized that Fang Lang had such insidious intentions to place a poison on Ma Chunhua's body. He and Cheng Lingsu were bound to move her body, and they must be poisoned. I like to hate thieves, I am afraid that if you harm others, you will harm yourself." Shi Wanchen shook his support, and there was a choking sound, and said, "Little girl, you really have some eyesight, and you can recognize my 'Green Silkworm Poison Gu'. Among the Han people, besides me, you are the only second He is a good person, he is knowledgeable and capable. Where can your brothers and sisters compare to you?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Predecessors are absurd. What the juniors don't understand is that the master's posthumous book "The God of Medicine" said that if the 'green silkworm poisonous Gu' is placed on the human body, it would not be embarrassing if it does not appear green. , but I don’t know why Senior Shi gave up this method and didn’t use it?” Shi Wan'an raised his eyebrows and said: "It's really nonsense. Among the Miao people, there are even the ancestors who released Gu, and there is no such way. Your master has never been to Miaojiang, what do you know?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Senior Said, the younger generation has to believe it, but in the legacy of the former teacher, it is indeed passed down the next method. But I don't know whether the senior is right or the first teacher is right." Shi Wan said angrily: "What method, you can tell Listen." Cheng Lingsu said: "The younger generation has said it, but the senior will definitely not believe it. Whether it is right or wrong, you will know once you try it." Shi Wan said angrily: "How to try?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Senior took out the 'Green Silkworm Poison Gu' , put it on the hands of the people, and the younger generation will take the medicine and mix it with the method of the teacher, and see if it has a green color." Shi Wan'an studied poisons all his life, and when he heard that there was such a magic method, he was half-believed, but eager to know the truth, so he said, "Who will put it in the hands of the test?" Cheng Lingsu said, "Senior will appoint it." Shi Wan'an thought to himself: "If you want to fall into your hands, of course you won't. If it falls into the hands of that imposing young man, there is no need to mention it." Wei Yi pondered, and said to Murong Jingyue: "Extend your left hand Come out!" Murong Jingyue jumped up and shouted: "This... this... Master, don't be fooled by this girl!" Shi Wan'an said with a sullen face, "Stretch out your left hand!" Murong Jingyue saw that the master's expression was serious, so he didn't dare to resist, but he thought how powerful the "Green Silkworm Poison Gu" is, once it touches his body, the master will cure him with the antidote, so he won't die, but this suffering , but it must be extremely difficult.He stretched out his left hand about a foot, and immediately retracted it tremblingly.Shi Wan'an sneered and said, "Okay, if you don't follow the teacher's order, that's up to you." Murong Yue's face turned even paler when he heard the words "not follow the teacher's order". If you violate the teacher's order, you are willing to be punished.People like them work with poison and poison every day, and the word "punishment" is an understatement. In fact, the cruelty and cruelty contained in it make people shudder when they think about it. He was about to stretch out his hand when Xue Que suddenly said, "Master, I'll try it out." He stretched out his left hand calmly.Shi Wan said angrily: "I don't want you! See if he is a man like him." Murong Jingyue said: "It's not that I'm afraid. I just want this little junior sister to be scheming, she must be uneasy and kind, and I can't be fooled by her." Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "Master brother is indeed very powerful. When I was with my predecessor , the former master will be angry with you for everything, and now I have worshiped a new master, but the disciple is still stronger than the master." Shi Wan'an knew that her words were to sow discord, but he still gave Murong Jingyue a cold look.Murong Jingyue's heart was terrified by this look, so he had to stretch out his left hand. Shi Wan'an took out a small golden box from his bosom, gently opened it, and there were three small green silkworms wriggling in the box.He picked some green powder from the box with a small golden spoon and put it in the palm of Murong Jingyue.One of Murong Jingyue's left arms trembled even more, his face was full of fear and anger, shock and hatred, the muscles in his cheeks couldn't stop beating, and his eyes showed a light like a beast, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat. Hu Fei thought to himself: "Second sister's chess move, no matter what, always lay down a deep hatred between their master and apprentice. This Murong Jingyue will definitely avenge today's revenge on his master whenever he has a chance in the future." As soon as the green powder was put on the palm, it penetrated into the skin in a short while without a trace, but there was a faint layer of green energy in the palm, as if the grass and leaves had been kneaded. Shi Wan said angrily: "Little girl, let's see what you can do to keep his palm from showing the green color." Cheng Lingsu ignored him, but turned to Hu Fei and said, "Brother, I met you for the first time at the White Horse Temple by Dongting Lake that day, and we had three chapters with you, do you remember?" Hu Fei said: "Yes." Thinking: "That day she told me not to speak, not to use force with others, and not to be three steps away from her, but I didn't do any of these three things." Cheng Lingsu said: "Just remember, today you You should still do these three things, and never forget them again." Hu Fei nodded. Cheng Lingsu said: "Senior Shi, you must have Hedinghong and Peacock Gall by your side, right? These two medicines and the 'Green Silkworm Poison Gu' both restrain and complement each other. If you don't believe it, please read the posthumous work of the late master." As he spoke, he opened the yellow paper booklet and handed it to Shi Wan'an. Shi Wan'an looked at it, and saw that there was indeed a line that said: "Crane crown red and peacock gall are mixed with green silkworm eggs. They are colorless and odorless, but the effect is slow." He wanted to read on, Cheng Lingsu But he closed the book. Shi Wan'an thought to himself: "The bald fruit of the Wuchen thief is erudite. Now I have to test the authenticity. If what I say is true, then this "Medicine King Shenpian" is not a fake book." He studied poison all his life.In the past 20 years, he even forgot to sleep and eat, in order to beat his senior brother, he has gone to the point of madness. Seeing this dilapidated yellow paper manuscript at this time is like gathering all the treasures in the world, and it is not so precious.He was very cruel and cold by nature, he used each other with Murong Jingyue, and he didn't have any sense of master-student relationship, and he thought that after trying to plant the "Green Silkworm Poison Gu" in his palm, he would definitely use it if he had the chance in the future. It will be counterproductive, regardless of how the three highly toxic drugs are put together at the moment, how to dissolve them afterwards, flick the nail of the index finger of the right hand, and a bright red mist diffuses into the palm of Murong Jingyue, following the flick of the middle finger nail, Another blue-black mist scattered into his palm. Cheng Lingsu saw that he didn't need to take the medicine bottle from his arms, and he could release the poison he needed with a flick of his fingernails. , With a thought, I have seen the mystery.It turned out that his belt was sewed into small grids, wrapping around his waist, no less than seventy or eighty grids, and each grid contained Tibetan medicine powder.He practiced it well, stretched out his palm, and picked out the required powder in his nails.I don't know how much effort it takes to practice to such a level that people don't know it. How can the opponent be prepared to avoid it when the poisonous powder pops out with a single gesture of the hand? The two medicinal powders of Crane Crown Red and Peacock Gallbladder scattered into Murong Jingyue's palm like this, it was really too fast to cover his ears, so there is room for him to hold back?Murong Jingyue had already made up his mind that he would never allow these two kinds of highly poisonous poisons to touch his skin again, and resisted Shi Wan's face even if he tried his best. Seeing that he was so cruel to him, he would rather give in to his junior sister The combination of the three is better than being tortured endlessly by him afterwards.Who knew that Shi Wan'an's method of poisoning was as fast as lightning, before Murong Jingyue could finish his thoughts, the poison had already touched his palm. But seeing the red and green mist seeping into the skin in a short while, the original faint green color on the palm of the hand disappeared immediately, no difference from the normal skin. Shi Wan shouted happily: "Okay!" He stretched out his hand and grabbed the "The God of Medicine King" in Cheng Lingsu's hand.Cheng Lingsu didn't flinch, but just smiled.Shi Wan'an's five fingers were about to touch the cover of the book, and suddenly remembered: "This girl is that bald closed disciple, how can there be no mechanism in the book?" He quickly withdrew his hands, cursing in his heart: "Old Shi, old Shi, if you If you dare to underestimate this girl, you will have ten lives, and they will also be given to her." Murong Jingyue's palm felt numb and itchy, and the numb and itchy went straight to his heart, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart at the same time, he called tremblingly: "Little Junior Sister, quickly get the antidote for me." Cheng Lingsu wondered: "Hey, master brother, how could you forget the teacher's advice? People in this sect can't release Gu, and there are nine kinds of poisons that have no antidote. They must not be used." Murong Jingyue heard this. There was a burst of cold sweat on his back, and he said: "The red crest of the crane, Kong... Kong... sparrow gall belongs to the nine forbidden medicines, you...how did you use it on me? Isn't this against the teachings of our ancestors?" Cheng Lingsu said coldly: "Elder brother actually still remembers the former teacher, and remembers not to disobey the instruction of the former teacher. This is beyond my expectations. Did I put the green silkworm poison on you? Did I put the crane crest red and peacock gall on your body? Our teacher earnestly told us not to use poison that cannot be cured even in critical situations. This is the most important precept of our sect. Senior Shi He, senior brother, and third senior sister have already left the sect, so naturally there is no need to abide by these precepts. Little sister dare not forget." Murong Jingyue stretched out his right hand and grasped the vein gate of his left hand tightly to prevent the poisonous gas from ascending, his head was covered with cold sweat and he was speechless.Xue Que flipped his right hand and stretched out his short knife to cut two intersecting crosses in the heart of Murong Jingyue's left hand, trying to make the poison flow out with the blood, knowing that this method can't save the poison, but it can also reduce the poison a little, and said: "Little sister, What does the master’s legacy say? Since the old man passed down the method of using these three kinds of poisons together, there must be a way to cure them.” Cheng Lingsu said: "Which one is the 'Master' that Third Sister Xue refers to? Is it the younger sister's master, Master Wu'an, or the master of your virtuous couple, Senior Shi?" Hearing her aggressive words, Xue Que was furious and cursed in his heart, but her husband's life was at stake. At this time, he had to give in verbally when he asked her, saying: "It's a foolish couple who deserve to die. Love, look on the face of the former teacher, Master Wu'an, and raise your noble hand to save his life." Cheng Lingsu opened "The God of Medicine", pointed to two lines and said: "Please read, sister, I can't be blamed for this matter." Xue Que looked along her fingers, and saw that it was written in the booklet: "The green silkworm poison Gu is mixed with crane crown red and peacock gall. It is highly poisonous and cannot be cured. Take it away." Xue Que was furious and turned his head. Xiang Shi Wan said angrily: "Master, it is written in this book that these three poisons are mixed and there is no cure, but how do you try it on Jing Yue?" Although she called "Master", her expression was already stern . In fact, Shi Wan'an didn't see these two lines in "The God of Medicine", but even if he saw it, he would never have any scruples because of it. This big face?He just said: "Give me that book and see what's weird in it?" Xue Que was furious, knowing that if he hesitated again, her husband's life would be in danger, so with a swing of the dagger, Murong Jingyue's arm was cut off shoulder-to-shoulder.You must know that the three poisons are extremely powerful, although they seep into the palm, but at this time the toxicity is rising, just cutting off the palm is useless, but fortunately the three medicines are mixed, the onset is slower, and there is no wound in his palm, the poison did not flow into the blood, cutting off Removing one arm temporarily saved his life, otherwise he would have died of poison. Xue Que is a disciple of Master Wu'an, she has her own ability to stop bleeding and heal wounds, she bandaged Murong Jingyue's wound in a short time, her technique was extremely clean. Cheng Lingsu said: "Master, Third Senior Sister, I didn't intend to frame you. You two betrayed your master and changed to worship Master's enemy as your teacher. You have already committed a crime that cannot be punished. In addition, you killed the second senior brother, father and son. It is truly outraged by heaven and earth. At present, there is only my younger sister who is the successor of my sect. If the younger sister hadn't punished the two crimes of betraying the master, would it be possible that the master's fame would fall into the hands of his enemies and disciples after his death? The second elder brother and his son died tragically, if the younger sister hadn't come out to uphold justice, wouldn't the two of them be allowed to be wronged forever?" She is thin and young, but she speaks these words with awe-inspiring authority. Hu Fei nodded secretly when he heard it, and thought: "These two are despicable and vicious, they should have been killed long ago." Only to hear her say again: "Even though the elder brother has gone with one arm, the poisonous gas has already attacked the heart, and within a month, he will still die of poison The two have betrayed the sect and were murdered by others. This has nothing to do with my younger sister, but for the sake of my predecessor, here are three "Shengsheng Creation Pills", which were made by the master with several years of painstaking efforts. My younger sister Give it to you on behalf of the former teacher, each pill can prolong the life of the senior brother for three years. After the senior brother takes it, I hope you will remember the kindness of the former teacher, and please ask yourself: Is it your old master who treats you well, or the new one? How is Master treating you?" He took out three red pills from his bosom and held them in his hand. Xue Que was about to reach out to take it, but Shi Wan'an said with a sneer, "The arms are already cut off, so why are you afraid of poisonous gas attacking your heart? Once you take these three 'Death and Death Pills', it will be poisonous gas attacking your heart." Cheng Lingsu said: "If you two believe in the words of the new master, then these three pills are unnecessary."Murong Jingyue said urgently: "No! Junior Sister, please give it to me." Xue Que said: "Thank you, Junior Sister. From now on, the two of us will reform ourselves and be good people again." Bowing his head, he walked to Cheng Lingsu and took the The three pills suddenly swayed and shouted angrily: "Shi Wan'an, you are so poisonous..." Before he could finish his sentence, he bent over and fell to the ground. Both Cheng Lingsu and Hu Fei were taken aback. They didn't see Shi Wan'an move, so why did he do it?Cheng Lingsu bent down and turned over Xue Que to see how she was killed and whether she could be saved. She just turned her body around when suddenly her right wrist tightened and Xue Que grabbed her.Cheng Lingsu knew it was wrong, and was about to slap her on the top of her head with his left hand, but she grabbed the pulse gate of his right hand, and his whole body was numb, and he couldn't move. Put down the "Shen Pian of the King of Medicine"!" Cheng Lingsu's benevolent thought was so restrained that he had no choice but to throw "Shen Pian of the King of Medicine" on the ground. Hu Fei was about to step forward to rescue him, but seeing Xue Que's knife pointed at Cheng Lingsu's heart, as long as he sent it forward lightly, he would die immediately. Although he was very anxious, he didn't dare to do it. Xue Que held Cheng Lingsu's wrist tightly, and said, "Master, this disciple helped you get the "King of Medicine", please put the three kinds of medicines, Bi Silkworm Poison Gu, Crane Crown Red, and Peacock Gall, on this little bitch. palm, see if she can't save my life." Shi Wan laughed angrily and said, "Good disciple, good disciple, this method is really clever." He took out the gold box, picked out the green silkworm poison Gu with a golden spoon, and two The poisonous powder of Crane Crown Red and Peacock Gallbladder was hidden in a nail, and it was about to be dropped into Cheng Lingsu's palm. After Murong Jingyue was seriously injured, although she was on the verge of falling, she knew that this was a very close chance. As long as Cheng Lingsu also received these three kinds of poisons in her palm, if she had the antidote, she would have to take it out for self-healing, and she would be able to seize it first No, even if there is really no antidote, it is revenge for Shicai, telling her to commit suicide, and immediately try to stop Hu Fei in front of him, preventing him from obstructing Shi Wan'an from poisoning. When Hu Fei was unable to do anything, he suddenly saw Murong Jingyue rushing in front of him, and punched him with his left hand, and hit him in the face.Murong Jingyue raised his right hand to parry, Hu Fei was in a hurry and desperately at this time, so he had room to fight back, his left fist was not yet solid, and the palm of his right hand came out like the wind, pushing against his chest soundlessly.Although this palm made no sound, it was extremely powerful, and it only pushed Murong Jingyue straight towards Xue Que.Xue Que was hit by him and fell down immediately, but his left hand still firmly grasped Cheng Lingsu's wrist. Hu Fei jumped forward and kicked Xue Que hard on the hunchback. Xue Que couldn't bear the pain, so he had to let go of Cheng Lingsu's wrist.These few blows were like flashes of lightning, but they were only a matter of a moment, as soon as Xue Que's palm was shaken away, Shi Wan'an's claws had already caught him.Hu Fei was afraid that the poison in his hand would touch Cheng Lingsu's body, so he swept his right hand quickly, and pushed on his shoulder. Shi Wan'an grabbed it with his right hand and grabbed it with his right hand. Cheng Lingsu shouted anxiously: "Quickly retreat!" If Hu Fei used the "nine twists and turns bone method" in his small capture hand, he could have twisted the five fingers of his palm immediately, but this man's fingers are highly poisonous, how dare he touch them?Hastily jumped back to avoid it, but Shi Wan'an missed the catch and threw the golden spoon.Following flicks of fingers, the poisonous powder turned into smoke and sprayed on the back of Hu Fei's hand. Hu Fei didn't know that he had been poisoned, but he thought that these three people were extremely treacherous and vicious, so he was determined to kill them on the spot.Shi Wan'an didn't have time to fight back, he only felt a cold on his left hand, three fingers had been cut off.Shocked and frightened, he flicked again with his right hand, and a puff of smoke popped out.Cheng Lingsu exclaimed: "Brother, back up!" Hu Fei stood in front of Cheng Lingsu, not daring to chase forward.Seeing that Shi Wan'an, Murong Jingyue, and Xue Que escaped from the temple together.
Cheng Lingsu held Hu Fei's hand, feeling like a knife was piercing his heart. Although he had to escape the catastrophe, in order to save himself, Hu Fei had already stained the back of his hand with three kinds of hard poisons: green silkworm poison, crane crown red, and peacock gall. "Wang Shen Pian" clearly stated: "The poison enters the heart, and there is no cure." Could it be that he cut off his right hand immediately with a knife, and then let him take the "Sheng Sheng Hao Hua Pill" to prolong his life for nine years?三般剧毒入体，以“生生造化丹”延命九年，此后再服“生生造化丹”也是无效了。 他是自己在这世界上唯一亲人，和他相处了这些日子之后，在她心底，早已将他的一切瞧得比自己重要得多。这样好的人，难道便只再活九年？ 程灵素不加多想，脑海中念头一转，早已打定了主意，取出一颗白色药丸，放在胡斐口中，颤声道：“快吞下！”胡斐依言咽落，心神甫定，想起适才的惊险，犹是心有余怖，说道：“好险，好险！”见那《药王神篇》掉在地下，一阵秋风过去，吹得书页不住翻转，说道：“可惜没杀了这三个恶贼！幸好他们也没将你的书抢去。二妹，倘若你手上沾了这三种毒药，那可怎么办？” 程灵素柔肠寸断，真想放声痛哭，可是却哭不出来。 胡斐见她脸色苍白，柔声道：“二妹，你累啦，快歇一歇吧！”程灵素听到他温柔体帖的说话，更是说不出的伤心，哽咽道：“我……我……” 胡斐忽觉右手手背上略感麻痒，正要伸左手去搔，程灵素一把抓住了他左手手腕，颤声道：“别动！”胡斐觉得她手掌冰凉，奇道：“怎么？”突然间眼前一黑，咕咚一声，仰天摔倒。 胡斐这一交倒在地下，再也动弹不得，可是神智却极为清明，只觉右手手背上一阵麻，一阵痒，越来越是厉害，惊问：“我也中了那三大剧毒么？” 程灵素泪水如珍珠断线般顺着面颊流下，扑簌簌的滴在胡斐衣上，缓缓点了点头。胡斐见此情景，不禁凉了半截，暗想：“她这般难过，我身上所中剧毒，定是无法救治了。”刹时之间，心头涌上了许多往事：商家堡中和赵半山结拜、佛山北帝庙中的惨剧、潇湘道上结识袁紫衣、洞庭湖畔相遇程灵素，以及掌门人大会、红花会群雄、石万嗔……这一切都是过去了，过去了…… 他只觉全身渐渐僵硬，手指和脚趾寒冷彻骨，说道：“二妹，生死有命，你也不必难过。只可惜你一个人孤苦伶仃，做大哥的再也不能照料你了。那金面佛苗人凤虽是我的杀父之仇，但他慷慨豪迈，实是个铁铮铮的好汉子。我……我死之后，你去投奔他吧，要不然……”说到这里，舌头大了起来，言语模糊不清，终于再也说不出来了。 程灵素跪在他身旁，低声道：“大哥，你别害怕，你虽中三种剧毒，但我有解救之法。你不会动弹，不会说话，那是服了那颗麻药药丸的缘故。”胡斐听了大喜，眼睛登时发亮。 程灵素取出一枚金针，刺破他右手手背上的血管，将口就上，用力吮吸。胡斐大吃一惊，心想：“毒血吸入你口，不是连你也沾上了剧毒么？”可是四肢寒气逐步上移，全身再也不听使唤，哪里挣扎得了。 程灵素吸一口毒血，便吐在地下，若是寻常毒药，她可以用手指按捺，从空心金针中吸出毒质，便如替苗人凤治眼一般，但碧蚕毒蛊、鹤顶红、孔雀胆三大剧毒入体，又岂是此法所能奏效？她直吸了四十多口，眼见吸出来的血液已全呈鲜红之色，这才放心，吁了一口长气，柔声道：“大哥，你和我都很可怜。你心中喜欢袁姑娘，那知道她却出家做了尼姑……我……我心中……” 她慢慢站起身来，柔情无限的瞧着胡斐，从药囊中取出两种药粉，替他敷在手背，又取出一粒黄色药丸，塞在他口中，低低地道：“我师父说中了这三种剧毒，无药可治，因为他只道世上没有一个医生，肯不要自己的性命来救活病人。大哥，他不知我……我会待你这样……” 胡斐只想张口大叫：“我不要你这样，不要你这样！”但除了眼光中流露出反对的神色之外，实在无法表示。 程灵素打开包裹，取出圆性送给她的那只玉凤，凄然瞧了一会，用一块手帕包了，放在胡斐怀里。再取出一枝蜡烛，插在神像前的烛台之上，一转念间，从包中另取一枝较细的蜡烛，拗去半截，晃火摺点燃了，放在后院天井中，让蜡烛烧了一会，再取回来放在烛台之旁，另行取一枝新烛插上烛台。 胡斐瞧着她这般细心布置，不知是何用意，只听她道：“大哥，有一件事我本来不想跟你说，以免惹起你伤心。现下咱们要分手了，不得不说。在掌门人大会之中，我那狠毒的师叔和田归农相遇之时，你可瞧出蹊跷来么？他二人是早就相识的。田归农用来毒瞎苗大侠眼睛的断肠草，定是石万嗔给的。你爹爹妈妈所以中毒，那毒药多半也是石万嗔配制的。” 胡斐心中一凛，只想大叫一声：“不错！” 程灵素道：“你爹爹妈妈去世之时，我尚未出生，我那几个师兄师姊，也还年纪尚小，未曾投师学艺。那时候当世擅于用毒之人，只有先师和石万嗔二人。苗大侠疑心毒药是我师父给的，因之和他失和动手，我师父既然说不是，当然不是了。我虽疑心这个师叔，可是并无佐证，本来想慢慢查明白了，如果是他，再设法替你报仇。今日事已如此，不管怎样，总之是要杀了他……”说到这里，体内毒性发作，身子摇晃了几下，摔在胡斐身边。 胡斐见她慢慢合上眼睛，口角边流出一条血丝，真如是万把钢锥在心中钻刺一般，张口大叫：“二妹，二妹！”可是便如深夜梦魇，不论如何大呼大号，总是喊不出半点声息，心里虽然明白，却是一根小指头儿也转动不得。 便是这样，胡斐并肩和程灵素的尸身躺在地下，从上午挨到下午，又从下午挨到黄昏。要知那碧蚕毒蛊、鹤顶红、孔雀胆三大剧毒的毒性何等厉害，虽然程灵素替他吸出了毒血，但毒药已侵入过身体，全身肌肉僵硬，非等一日一夜，不能动弹。这几个时辰中他心中之苦，真非常人所能想象。 眼见天色渐渐黑了下来，他身子兀自不能转动，只知程灵素躺在自己身旁，可是想转头瞧她一眼，却是不能。 又过了两个多时辰，只听得远处树林中传来一声声枭鸣，突然之间，几个人的脚步声悄悄到了庙外。只听得一人低声道：“薛鹊，你进去瞧瞧。”正是石万嗔的声音。 胡斐暗叫：“罢了，罢了！我一动也不能动，只有静待宰割的份儿。二妹啊二妹，你为了救我性命，给我服下麻药，可是药性太烈，不知何时方消，此刻敌人转头又来，我还是要跟你同赴黄泉。虽然死不足惜，可是这番大仇，却是再难得报了。”其实此时麻药的药性早退，他所以肌肉僵硬有如死尸，全是三大剧毒之故。 只听得薛鹊轻轻闪身进来，躲在门后，向内张望。她不敢晃亮火摺，黑暗中却又瞧不见什么，侧耳倾听，但觉寂无声息，便回出庙门，向石万嗔说了。 石万嗔点头道：“那小子手背上给我弹上了三大剧毒，这当儿不是命赴阴曹，便是一条手臂齐肩切了下来。剩下那小丫头一人，何足道哉！就只怕两个小鬼早已逃得远了。”他话是这么说，仍是不敢托大，取出虎撑呛啷啷的摇动，护住前胸，这才缓步走进庙门。 走到殿上，黑暗中只见两个人躺在地下，他不敢便此走近，拾起一粒石子，向两人投去，只见两人仍是一动不动，当下晃亮火摺一看，见地下那两人正是胡斐和程灵素。眼见两人全身僵直，显已死去多时。石万嗔大喜，一探程灵素鼻息，早已颜面冰冷，没了呼吸，再伸手去探胡斐鼻息时，胡斐双目紧闭，凝住呼吸。 石万嗔为人也当真郑重，只觉他颜面微温，并未死透，随手取出一根金针，在程胡两人手心中各自刺了一下，他们若是乔装假死，这么一刺，手掌非颤动不可。程灵素真的已死，胡斐肌肉尚僵，金针虽刺入他掌心知觉最为锐敏之处，亦是绝无反应。 慕容景岳恨恨的道：“这丫头吮吸情郎手背的毒药，岂不知情郎没救活，连带送了自己的性命。” 石万嗔急于找那册《药王神篇》，眼见火摺将要烧尽，便凑到烛台上去点蜡烛。火焰刚和烛芯相碰，心念一动：“这枝蜡烛没点过，说不定有什么古怪。”见烛台下放着半截点过的蜡烛，心想：“这半截蜡烛是点过的，定然无妨。”于是拔下烛台上那枝没点过的蜡烛，换上半截残烛，用火摺点燃了。 烛光一亮，三人同时看到了地下的《药王神篇》，齐声喜呼。石万嗔撕下一块衣襟，垫在手上，这才隔着布料将册子拾起。凑到烛火旁翻书一看，只见密密写着一行行的蝇头小楷，果然是各种医术和药性，但略一检视，其中治病救伤的医道占了九成以上。说到毒药之时，要旨也阐述解毒救治，至于如何炼毒施毒，以及诸般种植毒草、培养毒虫之法，却说的极为简略。原来无嗔大师晚年深悔一生用毒太多，以致在江湖上得了个“毒手药王”的名号，是以传给弟子的遗书，名为《药王神篇》，乃是一部济世救人的医书。 石万嗔、慕容景岳、薛鹊三人处心积虑想要劫夺到手的，原想是一部包罗万有、神奇奥妙的“毒经”，此时一看，竟是一部医书，纵然其中所载医术精深，于他却是全无用处，石万嗔自是大失所望。 他凝思片刻，对薛鹊道：“你搜搜那死丫头的身边，是否另有别的书册。这一部只是医书，没什么用。”说着随手扔在神台之上。薛鹊一搜程灵素的衣衫和包裹，道：“没有了。” 慕容景岳猛地想起一事，道：“我那师父善写隐形字体，莫非……”这句话一出口，登时好生后悔，暗想：“该死！该死！我何必说了出来？任他以为此书无用，我捡回去细细探索，岂不是好？”但石万嗔何等机伶，立时醒悟，说道：“不错！”又拣起那部《药王神篇》。 一转身间，只见慕容景岳和薛鹊双膝渐渐弯曲，身子软了下来，脸上似笑非笑，神情极是诡异。石万嗔大吃一惊，叫道：“怎么啦？七心海棠，七心海棠？难道死丫头种成了七心海棠？这……这蜡烛……” 脑海中犹如电光一闪，想起了少年时和无嗔同门学艺时的情景。有一天晚上，师父讲到天下的毒物之王，他说鹤顶红、孔雀胆、墨蛛汁、腐肉膏、彩虹菌、碧蚕卵、蝮蛇涎、番木鳖、白薯芽等等，都还不是最厉害的毒物，最可怕的是七心海棠。这毒物无色无臭，无影无踪，再精明细心的人也防备不了，不知不觉之间，已是中毒而死。死者脸上始终带着微笑，似乎十分平安喜乐。师父曾从海外得了这七心海棠的种子，可是不论用什么方法，都是种它不活。那天晚上，师兄和他自己都向师父讨了九粒七心海棠的种子。师父微笑道：“幸好这七心海棠难以培植，否则世上还有谁能得平安。” 瞧慕容景岳和薛鹊的情状，正是中了七心海棠之毒，他立即屏住呼吸，伸手按住口鼻，正想细察毒从何来，突然间眼前一黑，再也瞧不见什么。一瞬之间，他还道是蜡烛熄灭，但随即发觉，却是自己双眼陡然间失明。 “七心海棠！七心海棠！”他知道幸亏在进庙之前，口中先含了化解百毒的丹药，七心海棠的毒性一时才不致侵入脏腑，但双目已然抵受不住，竟自盲了。 胡斐事先却给程灵素喂了抵御七心海棠毒性的解药，双目无恙，一切看得清清楚楚，眼见慕容景岳和薛鹊慢慢软倒，眼见石万嗔双手在空中乱抓乱扑，大叫：“七心海棠，七心海棠！”冲出庙去。只听他凄厉的叫声渐渐远去，静夜之中，虽然隔了良久，还听得他的叫声隐隐从旷野间传来，有如发狂的野兽呼叫一般：“七心海棠！七心海棠！” 胡斐身旁躺着三具尸首，一个是他义结金兰的小妹子程灵素，两个是他义妹的对头、背叛师门的师兄师姊。破庙中一枝黯淡的蜡烛，随风摇曳，忽明忽暗，他身上说不出的寒冷，心中说不出的凄凉。 终于蜡烛点到了尽头，忽地一亮，火焰吐红，一声轻响，破庙中漆黑一团。 胡斐心想：“我二妹便如这蜡烛一样，点到了尽头，再也不能发出光亮了。她一切全算到了，料得石万嗔他们一定还要再来，料到他小心谨慎不敢点新蜡烛，便将那枚混有七心海棠花粉的蜡烛先行拗去半截，诱他上钩。她早已死了，在死后还是杀了两个仇人。她一生没害过一个人的性命，她虽是毒手药王的弟子，生平却从未杀过人。她是在自己死了之后，再来清理师父的门户，再来杀死这两个狼心狗肺的师兄师姊。 “她没跟我说自己的身世，我不知她父亲母亲是怎样的人，不知她为什么要跟无嗔大师学了这一身可惊可怖的本事。我常向她说我自己的事，她总是关切的听着。我多想听她说说她自己的事，可是从今以后，那是再也听不到了。 “二妹总是处处想到我，处处为我打算。我有什么好，值得她对我这样？值得她用自己的性命，来换我的性命？其实，她根本不必这样，只须割了我的手臂，用他师父的丹药，让我在这世界上再活九年。九年的时光，那是足够足够了！我们一起快快乐乐的度过九年，就算她要陪着我死，那时候再死不好么？” 忽然想起：“我说'快快乐乐'，这九年之中，我是不是真的会快快乐乐？二妹知道我一直喜欢袁姑娘，虽然发觉她是个尼姑，但思念之情，并不稍减。那么她今日宁可一死，是不是为此呢？” 在那无边无际的黑暗之中，心中思潮起伏，想起了许许多多事情。程灵素的一言一语，一颦一笑，当时漫不在意，此刻追忆起来，其中所含的柔情蜜意，才清清楚楚的显现出来。 “小妹子对情郎——恩情深， 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! " 王铁匠那首情歌，似乎又在耳边缠绕，“我要待她好，可是……可是……她已经死了。她活着的时候，我没待她好，我天天十七八遍挂在心上的，是另一个姑娘。” 天渐渐亮了，阳光从窗中射进来照在身上，胡斐却只感到寒冷，寒冷…… 终于，他觉到身上的肌肉柔软起来，手臂可以微微抬一下了，大腿可以动一下了。他双手撑地，慢慢站起身来，深情无限地望着程灵素。突然之间，胸中热血沸腾。“我活在这世上有什么意思？二妹对我这么多情，我却是如此薄幸的待她！我不如跟她一齐死了！” 但一瞥眼看到慕容景岳和薛鹊的尸身，立时想起：“爹娘的大仇还未报，害死二妹的石万嗔还活在世上。我这么轻生一死，什么都撒手不管，岂是大丈夫的行径？” 却原来，程灵素在临死之时，这件事也料到了。她将七心海棠蜡烛换了一枝细身的，毒药份量较轻的，她不要石万嗔当场便死，要胡斐慢慢的去找他报仇。石万嗔眼睛瞎了，胡斐便永远不会再吃他的亏。她临死时对胡斐说道，害死他父母的毒药，多半是石万嗔配制的。那或许是事实，或许只是猜测，但这足够叫他记着父母之仇，使他不致于一时冲动，自杀殉情。 她什么都料到了，只是，她有一件事没料到。胡斐还是没遵照她的约法三章，在她危急之际，仍是出手和敌人动武，终致身中剧毒。 又或许，这也是在她意料之中。她知道胡斐并没爱她，更没有像自己爱他一般深切的爱着自己，不如就是这样了结。用情郎身上的毒血，毒死了自己，救了情郎的性命。 很凄凉，很伤心，可是干净利落，一了百了，那正不愧为“毒手药王”的弟子，不愧为天下第一毒物“七心海棠”的主人。 少女的心事本来是极难捉摸的，像程灵素那样的少女，更加永远没人能猜得透到底她心中在想些什么。 突然之间，胡斐明白了一件事：“为什么前天晚上在陶然亭畔，陈总舵主祭奠那个墓中姑娘时竟哭得那么伤心？”原来，当你想到最亲爱的人永远不能再见面时，不由得你不哭，不由得你不哭得这么伤心。 他将程灵素和马春花的尸身搬到破庙后院。心想：“两人尸身上都沾着剧毒，须得小心，别沾上了。我还没报仇，可死不得！”生起柴火，分别将两人火化了。他心中空空洞洞，似乎自己的身子，也随着火焰成烟成灰，随手在地下掘了个大坑，把慕容景岳和薛鹊夫妇葬了。 眼见日光西斜，程灵素和马春花尸骨成灰，于是在庙中找了两个小小瓦坛，将两人的骨灰收入坛内，心想：“我去将二妹的骨灰葬在我爹娘坟旁，她虽不是我亲妹子，但她如此待我，岂不比亲骨肉还亲么？马姑娘的骨灰，要带去湖北广水，葬在徐大哥的墓旁。” 回到厢房，但见程灵素的衣服包裹兀自放在桌上，凝目瞧了良久，忍不住又掉下泪来。 隔了半晌，这才伸手收拾，见到包中有几件易容改装的用具，胶水假须，一概具备，心想：“我若坦然以本来面目示人，走不上一天，便会遇上福康安派出来追捕的鹰爪，虽然不怕，但一路斗将过去，如何了局？”于是脸上搽了易容药水，粘上三绺长须，将两只骨灰坛包入包裹，扬长出庙。
他一路向南追踪石万嗔。这日中午，在陈官屯一家饭铺中打尖，刚坐定
