Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen See Zhongshan Wolf in Power
The two of them walked for half a day, before leaving the Butterfly Valley, Yang Buhui couldn't move because of his short steps.After resting for a while, I went on my way again. I walked and rested. On the first night, I couldn't find the inn. Yang Buhui couldn't help crying.
Zhang Wuji was also very frightened, seeing a cave beside the road, he dragged Yang Buhui to hide in the cave, hugged her in his arms, and put his hands on her ears so that she couldn't hear the roar of the hungry beast.
The two children were hungry and scared all night, and after a hard night, they picked some wild fruits in the mountains and ate them the next morning. They walked along the mountain road for a while and rested for a while.At noon, Yang Buhui suddenly screamed and pointed at a big tree by the side of the road.Zhang Wuji took a look and saw two mummified corpses hanging from the tree, he was so frightened that he pulled her back and ran wildly.
The two of them ran up and down for more than ten steps, tripped over a stone and fell down together.Zhang Wuji looked back boldly, and was even more surprised this time, blurting out, "Mr. Hu!" A mummy hanging on the tree was blown back by the wind, but it was Hu Qingniu.The other mummy has long hair and is a female corpse, judging by the look of her clothes, it is Hu Qingniu's wife Wang Nangu.The mountain wind blew her body and long hair, making her look even more gloomy.
Zhang Wuji settled down for a long time, and comforted himself: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Slowly got up, and approached step by step, and saw that the two hanging corpses were Hu Qingniu and his wife.The cheeks of the two were shining golden, and each had a small golden flower inlaid on it.Zhang Wuji suddenly realized: "It turns out that they still haven't been able to escape the poisonous hands of Granny Jinhua."
In the mountain stream, a mule cart fell to pieces, and a mule drowned in the stream.
Zhang Wuji shed tears in a daze, untied the rope, and let the corpses of Hu Qingniu and his wife down from the big tree, suddenly there was a slap, and a book fell out from the arms of Wang Nangu's corpse.I picked it up and saw that it was a handwritten copy, with the words "Wang Nangu's Poison Classic" written on the inscription.When I opened it, the pages of the book were full of teeny lowercase letters, densely packed with the toxicity, use and dissolving methods of various poisons. In addition to poisons, poisonous plants, etc., various living things such as poisonous snakes, centipedes, scorpions, poisonous spiders, and All kinds of weird fish, insects, birds, animals, flowers, trees, earth and stones are all contained.He casually put it in his arms, put the corpses of Hu Qingniu and his wife side by side, took some stones and clods, piled them hastily into a grave, knelt down and worshiped a few times, and took Yang Buhui's hand to find the way.
After traveling for a few miles, he walked onto the main road, and soon arrived at a small town, Zhang Wuji wanted to buy some food, but he didn't know that every house in the town was empty, and there was not even a soul, so he had no choice but to continue on the road, but saw Along the way, the rice fields are all cracked, and the fields are full of thorns and weeds, which is desolate.Zhang Wuji was flustered, Yang Buhui was able to endure hunger without crying, and tried his best to walk, he was considered very good, what else could he come up with?
After walking for a while, I saw a few corpses lying on the side of the road, with a shriveled belly and sunken cheeks. At first sight, I knew they had died of starvation.The more you go, the more you will die of hunger.Zhang Wuji was terrified: "Could it be that there is nothing to eat? Are we going to starve to death like this?"
In the evening, when I arrived at a forest, I saw white smoke rising from the forest.Zhang Wuji was overjoyed, since he left Butterfly Valley, he hadn't seen anyone along the way, so he walked quickly towards the place where the white smoke rose.Walking nearby, I saw two ragged men surrounding a steaming pot of boiling soup, adding firewood to the bottom of the pot.When the two men heard the footsteps, they turned their heads and saw Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui, with overjoyed expressions on their faces, and they jumped up at the same time.One person beckoned and said: "Little baby, great, come here, come here quickly. Where are the adults who came with you? Where have they gone?" Zhang Wuji said: "It's just the two of us, no adults are with us." The two big men looked at each other Laughing, said at the same time: "Luck, luck!"
Zhang Wuji was so hungry that he poked his head into the pot to see what was cooking, and saw some green grass rolling up and down in the pot.
A man grabbed Yang Buhui and said with a sinister smile: "This lamb is fat and tender, it will be very comfortable after a full meal tonight." Another man said: "That's right, boy Save it for tomorrow."
Zhang Wuji was taken aback, and shouted: "What are you doing? Let go of my sister."
The man ignored him, and with a snort, he tore Yang Buhui's clothes, reached out and pulled out a sharp knife with a cow's ear from his boot, and said with a smile, "I haven't eaten such a fat and tender lamb for a long time." Holding Yang Buhui Buhui walked aside, as if he was about to be slaughtered.Another man followed behind with an earthen bowl and said, "It's a pity to lose the sheep's blood. Cook a pot of sheep's blood soup, and the taste will not be bad."
Zhang Wuji was scared out of his wits. Seeing that they were not joking, they really wanted to kill Yang Buhui, and shouted: "Do you want to eat people? Are you afraid of hurting the sky?" The man holding the earthen bowl laughed and said: "I have three I haven't eaten a grain of rice in a month, and if I don't eat people, can I still eat cattle and sheep?" Afraid that Zhang Wuji would escape, he came over and grabbed his neck.
Zhang Wuji moved away sideways, and slapped his right palm around his left hand, which hit him at the back of his heart.He was taught the secrets of martial arts by Xie Xun, the golden-haired lion king, and learned Wudang Changquan from his father. Although he devoted himself to medical skills and did not practice martial arts hard in the past few years, all the martial arts he has learned and seen in his life are the best.This palm is struck with great force, even a martial artist who has practiced martial arts for many years may not be able to withstand it, let alone an ordinary villager?The man snorted, prostrated himself on the ground, unable to move.
Zhang Wuji immediately jumped to Yang Buhui's side.The man shouted: "I'll kill you first!" Lifting the sharp knife, he stabbed it into his chest.Zhang Wuji used Wudang Changquan's "Yan Wing Stance" to fly up his right foot and hit the man's wrist.The man's sharp knife flew out of his hand.Zhang Wuji made a stance of mandarin ducks linking legs, kicking left and right, and hit the man's jaw directly.The man was opening his mouth to shout, his jaw was kicked shut quickly, he bit off half of his tongue, spurted blood wildly, and passed out.Zhang Wuji quickly helped Yang Buhui up.
At this moment, only the sound of footsteps was heard, and several people came into the forest.Yang Buhui was terrified, when he heard someone's voice, he threw himself into Zhang Wuji's arms.Zhang Wuji looked up, immediately felt relieved, and shouted: "It's Master Jian, Master Xue." There were five people who came into the forest, one was Jian Jie from the Kongtong School, the other was Xue Gongyuan from the Huashan School and their two fellow disciples, These four people were cured by Zhang Wuji.The last one was a young man in his twenties, with a majestic appearance and a strangely broad forehead, which Zhang Wuji had never seen before.
Jian Jie snorted and said, "Brother Zhang, are you here too? What's wrong with these two?" said the two men who fell to the ground with their fingers.Zhang Wuji said angrily, and finally said: "If you dare to eat a living person, isn't that lawless?"
Jian Jie stared sideways at Yang Buhui, suddenly the corner of his mouth dripped with greed, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and said to himself: "Damn it, I didn't eat a single grain of rice for five days and five nights, just gnawed some trees. Fur roots...well, thin skin and white flesh, fat and tender..."
Zhang Wuji saw the fire of hunger in his eyes, he grinned his mouth like a hungry wolf, his teeth glistened, his expression was very terrifying, he hurriedly hugged Yang Buhui into his arms.
Xue Gongyuan said: "Where is this girl's mother?" Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "If I say that my aunt is dead, they will change their minds." Then he said: "Ji Nuxia went to buy rice, and she will come here in a blink of an eye." Regretted and said suddenly: "No, my mother flew into the sky!"
Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan knew that Ji Xiaofu was dead after hearing their words.Xue Gongyuan sneered and said, "Buy rice? Find me a handful of rice within five hundred miles, and it's your job." Jian Jie winked at Xue Gongyuan, and the two jumped up.Jian Jie grabbed Zhang Wuji's arms with both hands.Xue Gongyuan covered Yang Buhui's mouth with his left hand, and hugged her with his right arm.
Zhang Wuji was surprised: "What are you doing?" Jian Jie said with a smile: "Fengyang Mansion is thousands of miles away, everyone is so hungry. This girl is not someone like you, and I will share it with you later. Zhang Wuji scolded: "You are heroes in vain, how can you bully her little orphan girl? If this story spreads, can you still be human?"
Jian Jie was furious, still grabbed him with his left hand, punched him twice with his right hand between his cheeks, and shouted: "I even slaughtered you, a little bastard, we thought one lamb was not enough to eat."
It was very easy for Zhang Wuji to knock down two villagers just now, but the sage Jialan Jianjie is a master of the Kongtong School, and he has practiced kung fu for decades in one hand, Zhang Wuji was firmly grasped by him, but how could he struggle? have to take off?Xue Gongyuan's two juniors took the rope and tied up the two children.Zhang Wuji knew that he had no luck today, under his rage, he felt regretful, he really shouldn't have saved the lives of these people, he didn't expect that people's hearts would be repeated, and in the end he would repay his kindness with revenge.
Jian Jie said: "Little bastard, if you healed my wound on my head, you are considered a kindness to me, right? You must be scolding me in your heart, aren't you?" Zhang Wuji said, "Isn't this repaying your kindness? Me and You have no relatives and no reason, if I hadn't helped you, would the strange injuries and illnesses of the four of you have been healed?"
Xue Gongyuan smiled and said: "Master Zhang, after we were injured, we made a lot of ugliness. You can see it. If it is passed on, everyone is not good in the world. Today we are so hungry that we don't have much to eat. If you eat meat, your life will not survive, you save people to the end, send Buddha to heaven, and then save us again." Jian Jie is vicious and terrifying, but that's all, this Xue Gongyuan's sinister and vicious appearance with a smile, Zhang Wuji looked at You Qi Feeling chilling, he said loudly: "I am a disciple of Wudang, and this girl is from the Emei sect. It doesn't matter if you hurt me, can Wudang Five Heroes and Juejue Shitai stop here?"
Jian Jie was taken aback, and said "Oh", thinking that this was a good statement, the people of Wudang School and Emei School could not be offended.Xue Gongyuan laughed and said: "Heaven knows the earth, you know me, you know me, when you are in my stomach, go and complain to the old Taoist Zhang Sanfeng." Even my own brother, my own son, I will swallow you up to the bone." Turning to Xue Gongyuan's two juniors, he shouted, "Look up the fire and cook the soup. What are you waiting for?" The pot, one went to the stream to draw water, and the other lit a fire.
Zhang Wuji said: "Uncle Xue, those two people are dead anyway, you are hungry and want to eat someone, wouldn't it be good to eat him?"
Xue Gongyuan laughed and said: "These two dead men are all skinny, old and tough, smelly and hard, how can there be any reason in the world not to eat young sheep and old sheep?"
Zhang Wuji had a lot of integrity, if he killed him or beat him, he would never ask for mercy, but now he was in the hands of the villain and he wanted to cook him alive, he couldn't help but panic and begged a few words.Instead, Xue Gongyuan couldn't help laughing: "Haha, the disciples of Wudang Sect and Emei Sect tried their best to dominate the rivers and lakes, but today they were eaten by us bite by bite. Zhang Sanfeng and old nun Miejue knew it, so it's no wonder they weren't mad."
Zhang Wuji cheered up and shouted: "Uncle Xue, since you must eat people, eat me, I just ask you to let this little girl go, and I, Zhang Wuji, will die without complaint." Xue Gongyuan said: "Why?" Zhang Wuji said: "When her mother passed away, she asked me to deliver this little girl to her father. You are already full enough to eat me alone today. You can buy beef, sheep and rice tomorrow, so let this little girl go." .”
Jian Jie saw that he was fearless in the face of danger, and that he had a chivalrous spirit at such a young age. She was quite admirable, so she couldn't help being moved, and said hesitantly, "How?" Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou and the others come to the door, and Brother Jian can send them away with confidence." Jian Jie nodded and said: "Brother Xue is right. I am a fool, and I never think about the future." While speaking, the Huashan faction The disciple came back with a pot of clear water and put it on the fire to cook soup.
Knowing the urgency of the matter, Zhang Wuji shouted: "Sister Buhui, swear to them that you will never tell what happened today." Yang Buhui cried in a daze, "I can't eat you, I can't eat you Ah." She also didn't understand what Zhang Wuji said, she only knew that he was sacrificing his life to save herself.
The imposing young man sat silently by the side, not saying a word or moving.Jian Jie glared at him, and said: "Xu Xiaoshe, if you want to eat mutton, you have to make yourself angry with the sheep." The area around Haosi is called "Xiaoshe" to young men.The young man said: "Yes!" He pulled out a short knife from his waist, and said, "Killing pigs and sheep is my specialty." He bit the short knife in his mouth, held Zhang Wuji in one hand, and Yang Buhui in the other, Go to the mountain stream.Zhang Wuji yelled and wanted to bite his arm, but he couldn't.
Xu Xiaoshe walked more than ten steps.Xue Gongyuan shouted: "Xu Xiaoshe, let's open it here." Xu Xiaoshe turned around and said, "It's better to open the belly in the stream, and wash it clean." Biting the knife in his mouth, he spoke indistinctly. The feet don't stop.Xue Gongyuan said: "I told you to stay here, so here it is." He could see that Xu Xiaoshe's expression was a little bit wrong, he was afraid that he would want to take it all by himself, so he took the two children and ran away.
Xu Xiaoshe said in a low voice: "Run away!" Putting the two on the ground, he stretched out his knife and cut the rope that bound them.Zhang Wuji said: "Thank you for saving my life." Holding Yang Buhui's hand, he ran fast.
Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan roared in unison and rushed after him.That Xu Xiaoshe stopped him with a horizontal knife and shouted: "Stop!"
Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan were taken aback when they saw him standing in front of him with a sword in his chest.Jian Jie shouted: "What are you doing?" Xu Xiaoshe said: "We walk on the rivers and lakes and bully the weak, don't we make the world laugh at the heroes?" A younger brother shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Seeing that Yang Buhui was not running fast, Zhang Wuji picked her up, he was already short in steps, so he escaped even slower.
Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan each raised their swords and attacked the man surnamed Xu.After fighting for a while, Jian Jie slashed Xu Xiaoshe's thigh with a slash of blood, immediately dripping with blood.Xu Xiaoshe couldn't resist the enemy, he suddenly raised his dagger and threw it at Xue Gongyuan.Xue Gongyuan dodged sideways, and Xu Xiaoshe rushed out.Jian and Xue didn't chase after them, they came to catch Zhang Yang's second child.Xu Xiaoshe shouted from a distance: "Brother Zhang, don't panic, I'll call a helper to save you." Jian Xue and two stepped forward to encircle, immediately restraining Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui again.
Jian Jie stared and scolded: "This guy surnamed Xu is not a good person. Why do you go with him?" Xue Gongyuan said: "The companion you bumped into on the road, who knows he is a good guy or a bad guy? He said his surname is Xu, what is his name Xu Da?" Don’t believe his nonsense, it’s getting dark, where can we call for help.” A disciple of the Huashan School said: “Hearing his accent, he’s a native of Fengyang Mansion, so we’re not afraid to call some country folks. " Jian Jie said with a smile: "People in Fengyang Mansion, haha, everyone is too hungry to crawl. Let's cook two lambs until they are delicious. It's serious to have a full meal."
Zhang Wuji was captured for the second time, his mouth and nose were bruised from the beating, his clothes were torn, and the silver and silver items in his arms fell to the ground.He thought to himself: "So this elder brother surnamed Xu is called Xu Da. He is really a good friend. It's a pity that I can't make friends with him at the end of my life." When he lowered his head, he saw a yellow paper copy on the ground , the pages of the book turned with the wind, and it was the "Wang Nangu Poison Classic" taken from Wang Nangu's corpse. The shape, smell, color, toxicity, and solution of toadstools are one after another, and his mind is in confusion, where can he see it?Suddenly, at a glance, I saw more than ten grass fungi growing under a rotten tree trunk four or five feet away from the left. It is said that all poisonous fungi are brightly colored. If these grass fungus are highly poisonous, there is still hope for my sister's life."
At this moment, he didn't want to survive by himself, anyway, the cold poison in his body was hard to get rid of, so he escaped with his life today, and he didn't want to live a few more months, he only hoped to save Yang Buhui.He sat on the ground, moved his feet and buttocks, slowly approached it, turned around, and reached out to pick off the fungi.At this time, it was already dark, everyone was hungry, and no one paid attention to him.
Zhang Wuji suddenly looked at the place where Xu Da was fleeing, jumped up, and shouted: "Brother Xu, you brought someone here, help, help!" Jian Jie waited for the truth, the four grabbed their weapons and jumped up!Zhang Wuji took the four of them to stare at the east, took two steps back, and threw all the mushrooms into the iron pot with his backhand.
Jian Jie waited for no one to be seen, and scolded: "Little bastard, you are crazy and no one will save you." Xue Gongyuan said: "If you cut the knife, who will do it?" Jian Jie said: "I will kill the girl, you will kill the man. Yes." As he spoke, he grabbed Yang Buhui.
Zhang Wuji said: "Uncle Xue, I'm very thirsty, you give me a bowl of hot soup, and I won't haunt you even after I die." Xue Gongyuan said: "Okay, what's the point of drinking a bowl of hot soup?" He scooped up the bowl Give him hot soup.
Before the hot soup was brought to his mouth, Zhang Wuji praised loudly: "It's so fragrant, so fragrant!" The grass mushrooms were boiled in the hot soup, and they were indeed fragrant.Xue Gongyuan was already very hungry, smelled the aroma of mushroom soup, so he didn't feed it to Zhang Wuji, drank it by himself, licked his lips, said: "It's so fresh!" He went to scoop up another bowl.Jian Jie reached out and snatched it, gulped it down, and drank another bowl.Xue Gongyuan and the other two disciples of Huashan School also drank two bowls. After a long period of hunger, they both felt indescribably comfortable after eating two bowls of hot fresh soup.Jian Jie picked up the mushrooms in the pot and chewed them.No one asked where the grass fungus came from.
After eating the mushrooms, Jian Jie patted her belly, said with a smile: "First make a bottom, and then eat the mutton." With his left hand he picked up Yang Buhui's back collar, and his right hand held the knife.Seeing that everyone drank the fungus soup as if nothing had happened, Zhang Wuji thought to himself that these grass fungus were not poisonous, so he couldn't help crying secretly.Jian Jie took two steps, and suddenly shouted: "Ah yo!" She swayed a few times, fell to the ground, and threw Yang Buhui and the knife aside.Xue Gongyuan was shocked and said: "Brother Jian, what's the matter?" When he ran over and bent over to look, he could no longer stand up straight after bending down, and threw himself on Jian Jie.The two Huashan sect disciples also died of poison.
Zhang Wuji yelled: "Thank God!" He rolled to the side of the knife, picked it up with his backhand, and cut the rope in Yang Buhui's hand.With trembling hands, Yang Buhui pierced Zhang Wuji's palm in two places before cutting off the rope on his hand.The two narrowly escaped from death, and embraced each other with infinite joy.
After a while, when Zhang Wuji went to see Jian Xue and the other four, he saw that everyone's face was darkened, their muscles were distorted, and their death conditions were horrific. The "Wang Nan Gu's Poison Sutra" is treasured and kept in his bosom, and he decides to study it carefully in the future.
Zhang Wuji took Yang Buhui's hand, walked out of the woods, and was about to find a way, when he suddenly saw the torches shining on the east head, there were seven or eight people with weapons in their hands, running quickly.Zhang and Yang hurriedly hid in the grass.The man rushed to the neighborhood, and saw that the first person was Xu Da, holding a torch high in his left hand, holding a spear in his right hand, and shouting loudly: "You evil man-eating thief, take your life!" Everyone rushed into the woods, and they were all stunned to see Jian Xue and the other four died there.Xu Da shouted: "Brother Zhang, are you alright? We are here to rescue you!" Zhang Wuji shouted: "Brother Xu, brother is here!" and ran out of the grass. Xu Da was overjoyed, picked him up, and said: "Brother Zhang, a chivalrous person like you, not to mention a child, is rare among adults. I'm afraid that you have been hurt by the hands of evil thieves. Fortunately, there will be good rewards." , Evil is rewarded with evil, and it is retribution that is not good." Asking how Jian Xue and others were poisoned, Zhang Wuji mentioned the matter of making soup with poisonous bacteria, and everyone praised him for being smart. Xu Da said: "These are all good friends of mine. They slaughtered a cow, and everyone happened to be cooking in Huangjue Temple. I went as soon as I called. But if it wasn't for Brother Zhang's wit, we would have come too late." Now introduce Zhang Wuji one by one. A man named Tang Minghe with big ears; a heroic man named Deng Mingyu;The last one was a monk, very ugly, with his chin protruding forward like a shovel, his face was uneven with many scars and moles, his eyes were deep-set and piercing.Xu Da said: "Brother Zhu, named Yuanzhang, is currently a monk in Huangjue Temple." Hua Yun said with a smile: "He is a romantic and happy monk. He doesn't like to recite scriptures and worship Buddha. He drinks and eats meat all day long." Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's ugly face, Yang Buhui was afraid and hid behind Zhang Wuji.Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Although the monk eats meat, he doesn't eat people. Little sister don't have to be afraid." Tang He said: "The pot of beef we cooked should be done by now." Hua Yun said: "Go quickly! Little sister, I will carry you on my back." Putting Yang Buhui on his back, he strode away.Seeing that this dry man is bold and happy, Zhang Wuji is also happy in his heart. After walking four or five miles, I came to a temple.Walking into the hall, you can smell the aroma of roasted meat.Wu Liang exclaimed: "It's done, it's done!" Xu Da said, "Brother Zhang, rest here and let's go and bring out the beef." Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui sat side by side on the futon in the main hall.Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He, Deng Yu, etc. were in a hurry and brought out big pots of cooked beef.Brothers Wu Liang and Wu Zhen raised a jar of white wine, and everyone cheered and drank in front of the Bodhisattva.Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui had been hungry for several days, now they had beef to eat, so they felt indescribably happy. Hua Yun said: "Brother Xu, our canon is good for everything, but meat is not allowed, it's a bit of a problem." Zhang Wuji's heart trembled: "It turns out that they are also members of Mingjiao. Mingjiao's rules are to eat vegetables and worship the devil, but here they eat beef." Xu Da said: "The first essence of our canon is to 'do good and get rid of evil'. Although eating meat is not good, it is a last resort. There is no rice and no vegetables at this moment. Could it be that we are starving to death while watching the cooked beef?" ?" Deng Yu clapped his hands and shouted: "Brother Xu's words have always been the most insightful, eat, eat!" In the dining and drinking room, suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, followed by someone knocking on the door.Tang He jumped up and shouted: "Ah yes! Zhang Yuanwai's family is looking for cattle!" Only to hear the temple door being pushed open, and two powerful servants with their chests and bellies stepped in.One person shouted: "Okay! Sure enough, you stole the big cow from Yuanwai's family!" He said and grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang.Another person said: "You cheap monk, where are you going to escape today when you have all the stolen goods? Tomorrow, I will send you to the mansion and beat you to death with a board." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "It's really nonsense, how dare you blame us for stealing the bulls from other members? Isn't it a crime for you to rely on me to eat meat because the monks are vegetarians?" Pointing at the beef in the bowl, the manly servant shouted: "Isn't this beef?" Zhu Yuanzhang winked and said with a smile, "Who said beef?" Brothers Wu Liang and Wu Zhen walked up behind the two servants, shouted, and grabbed their arms. Zhu Yuanzhang pulled out a dagger from his waist and said with a smile, "You two big brothers, to be honest, what we eat is not beef, but human flesh. Since I saw it for you today, I had to eat the two of you to silence it, so as not to leak it. With a chisel, the clothes on the chest of a noble servant were cut, and a bloodstain appeared on his chest with the tip of the knife.The noble servant was shocked, and repeatedly shouted: "Forgive...forgive..." Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed a handful of beef, stuffed them in the mouths of the two, and shouted: "Swallow it!" The two swallowed it without daring to chew it.Zhu Yuanzhang went to the kitchen, grabbed a lot of ox hair, stuffed them in the mouths of the two, and shouted: "Swallow it quickly!" The two had to swallow it again with bitter faces.Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "If you go and tell the staff that I stole his ox, we will disembowel and confront him, and see who ate the beef without even pulling out the hair." Last drag.The man felt the cold knife cut across his stomach, and screamed in fright. The Wu brothers laughed loudly, and kicked the two of them hard on their buttocks, causing them to roll out of the hall.Everyone laughed and scolded the two noble servants for asking for trouble. They usually rely on Zhang Yuanwai's momentum to bully the villagers. Zhang Wuji was amused and admired at the same time, he thought to himself: "Although this monk surnamed Zhu looks ugly, his actions are clean and straightforward, he can't move people at all, his methods are so powerful." Zhu Yuanzhang and others had heard from Xu Da earlier that Zhang Wuji was willing to give up his life to save Yang Buhui, they all loved him as a chivalrous young man, treated him differently from ordinary children, toasted him with wine and meat, as if he were a good friend. When the drink was in full swing, Deng Yu sighed: "We Han people have been oppressed by Hu slaves, and we have suffered a lifetime of filth. Today, we don't even have a bite of bitter food. How can we live on in such a life?" Hua Yun slapped his legs He shouted: "Seeing that half of the people in Fengyang Mansion have died, I see the same everywhere in the world. Instead of starving to death, it is better to fight with the Tartars." Xu Dalang said: "Today, human lives are cheaper than pigs and dogs. These two little brothers and sisters have almost become the stuff of other people's stomachs. In the whole world, how many good people have become cattle and sheep? A man can't save people from fire and water, and life is useless." Tang He also said : "That's right. We were lucky today, we stole a bull to eat, and we may not be able to steal it again tomorrow. Most of the good men in the world don't have enough food and clothing. Could it be that all the heroes are going to be thieves?" The more they talked, the more angry they became, He yelled at the Tartars for harming people. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Here we are scolding by thousands of thieves, can we scold a Tartar off a hair? He is a man with a backbone, so he will kill the Tartar!" Tang He, Deng Yu, Hua Yun, and the Wu brothers They all shouted in unison: "Go, go!" Xu Da said: "Brother Zhu, you don't need to be a monk who is so tired. You are the oldest, and everyone listens to you." Zhu Yuanzhang did not refuse, and said: "From now on, we will live and die together, share the blessings, and share the difficulties." Everyone picked up the wine bowls and drank it up, drew their knives and chopped the table, with arrogance. Yang Buhui looked at the crowd, didn't understand what they were saying, and was secretly afraid.But Zhang Wuji thought: "Grand Master has repeatedly told me not to make friends with people from the Demon Cult. But Brother Chang Yuchun and this Brother Xu are both from the Demon Cult, compared to Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan, who are well-known and upright disciples, they are better people." But it's ten thousand times better." He has always had great respect for Zhang Sanfeng, but from his own experience, he felt that Grand Master had prejudice against people from the Demon Cult.Even so, I still think that Grand Master's words cannot be disobeyed. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "A good man does what he says, and he is full of food at the moment, so he just does what he wants to do. Zhang Yuan's family is hosting a banquet for Tartar officers and soldiers today. Let's go and kill them first." Hua Yun said: "Excellent!" Lifting the knife stood up. Xu Da said: "Wait a minute!" He took a basket from the kitchen, filled it with 14 to 5 catties of cooked beef, handed it to Zhang Wuji, and said, "Brother Zhang, you are still young, you can't do this murder of officials and rebellion with us. We These few people are so poor that they have no money, so I have to give you these catties of beef. If we are lucky enough to survive, we will meet again in the future, and everyone will have another good meal of beef." Zhang Wuji took the basket and said: "But I hope you will make great contributions to drive out the Tartars and let the people in the world have food." After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He, Deng Yu and others clapped their hands in praise, and said, "Brother Zhang, you are right, we will meet later." Saying that, they each raised their weapons and left the temple. Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "They are going here to kill the Tartars. If I hadn't brought this little girl with me, I would have gone with them too. There are only seven of them. If they were outnumbered, the Tartars and Zhuang Ding in Zhang Yuanwai's family would definitely kill them." If you come to hunt them down, you cannot live in this temple." So they took a basket of beef and left the temple with Yang Buhui. After walking for four or five miles in the dark, I suddenly saw red light rising into the sky from the north, and the fire was very fierce. I knew that Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others succeeded in burning Zhang Yuanwai's Zhuangzi, and I was very happy.The two slept in the mountains for half the night that night, and then headed west the next morning.
The sufferings of the two children, the wind, the frost, the hunger and the cold, are endless.Fortunately, Yang Buhui's parents are both famous martial arts masters, and they were born with strong physiques. The little girl traveled a long distance, but she didn't get sick, but she had a slight cold. Zhang Wuji picked some herbs and cured her casually.But the two walked and rested every day, and at most they only walked twenty or thirty miles, and they walked for fifteen or sixteen days before they reached the border of Henan Province. There is no difference between Henan and Anhui. There is famine everywhere and starvation everywhere.Zhang Wuji made a pair of bows and arrows, shot birds and killed animals, satiated and hungry all day long, and traveled west slowly with Yang Buhui.Fortunately, I didn't meet Mongolian officers and soldiers on the way, and I didn't meet people from the world. As for the ordinary rogues who wanted to make evil plans, how could they be Zhang Wuji's opponents? One day he chatted with an old man he met on the way, and said that he would go to Kunlun Mountain to sit Wangfeng.The old man's eyes were wide open, he was stunned, and said: "Little brother, Kunlun Mountain is more than a hundred and eight thousand miles away from here. I heard that there was a monk in the Tang Dynasty to learn Buddhist scriptures, so I went here. You two children, are you crazy? What? Where do you live, go home quickly!" When Zhang Wuji heard this, he couldn't help feeling frustrated, and thought to himself: "Kunlun Mountain is so far away, I can't go there, so I have to go to Wudang Mountain to see the Grand Master." How can I back down halfway? I don't have much life, if I don't send Buhui's sister to me before I die, I will be sorry to Aunt Ji." Stop talking to the old man, just hold Yang Buhui's hand. After another 20 days of walking, the two children were already in tatters and haggard.What troubled Zhang Wuji the most was that Yang Buhui was always clamoring for his mother, seeing that his mother never flew down from the sky, he often cried for a long time.Zhang Wuji used many metaphors to enlighten him, saying that on the way west, he went to find her mother, told a story, made a funny face, and made her laugh out of tears. After passing Zhumadian that day, it was late autumn and early winter, the new wind was blowing, and the two children couldn't help shivering because of their poor clothes.Zhang Wuji took off his tattered outer shirt and put it on for Yang Buhui.Yang Buhui said: "Brother Wuji, aren't you cold?" Zhang Wuji said: "I'm not cold, it's too hot." He jumped a few times with all his strength.Yang Buhui said: "It's so kind of you to me! You're cold yourself, but you gave me clothes to wear." Zhang Wuji couldn't help but startled when the little girl suddenly said something like an adult. At this moment, I suddenly heard the clanging of weapons coming from behind the hillside, and following the sound of footsteps, a woman's voice shouted: "Evil thief, you have been hit by my poisonous death door nail, the faster you run, the faster you run. It happens faster!" Zhang Wuji hurriedly pulled Yang Buhui to lie down in the grass by the side of the road, he saw a strong man in his thirties running towards him, a few feet later a woman with two knives was chasing him.The man staggered, and suddenly his feet went limp, and he rolled to the ground.The woman chased him and shouted: "You will die in the hands of the girl!" The man jumped up suddenly, and slapped his right palm, hitting the woman's chest with a bang.This blow was so strong that the woman fell on her back, and the two knives in her hand fell far away. The man pulled the funeral nail from his back with his backhand, and said bitterly: "Get the antidote." The woman sneered and said: "This time the master sent us to catch you, but we only gave you the poisonous hidden weapon and no antidote. Since I fall into your hands, I will accept my fate, but you don't expect to survive." The man pointed the knife point at her throat with his left hand, and searched in her pocket with his right hand, but he didn't find any medicine.The man was so angry that he picked up the poisonous mourning nail and threw it hard, nailed it on the woman's shoulder, and shouted: "I want you to taste the poisonous funeral nail yourself, you Kunlun sect..." Without finishing his sentence, The poison broke out on his back, and he slumped to the ground.The woman tried to struggle to get up, but spat out a mouthful of blood with a wow, sat down again, pulled out the funeral nails on her shoulders, and threw them on the ground. A man and a woman were lying in the grass beside the road, breathing heavily and panting continuously.Zhang Wuji has been wary of people in the martial arts world since his treatment of Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan's backlash, so he hid aside to watch the movement, not daring to come out. After a while, the man let out a long sigh and said, "I, Su Xizhi, died in Zhumadian today. I still offended your Kunlun faction for some reason. I really don't want to die. You have chased me for thousands of miles, so you must kill me." No, what is it for? Miss Zhan, please tell me kindly!" There was no hostility in the words. The woman Zhan Chun knew the strength of the poison-feeding nails in the master's door. Seeing that she was about to die with him, she was completely hopeless, and said quietly: "Who told you to peek at my master's sword practice, this 'Kunlun Liangyi sword', If it wasn't taught by the old man himself, even if the disciples of the sect peeped at him, he would also be punished with gouging out his eyes, let alone you are an outsider?" Su Xizhi said with an "ah", "Damn it, damn it, damn it! Zhan Chun said angrily: "You are dying, and you are still scolding my master?" Su Xizhi said: "What if I scold you? Isn't this wronged? I passed by Bainiu Mountain, and I accidentally saw your master wielding a sword. I was curious, so I watched it for a while. Could it be that I can see this for a while? Have you learned Lu Jianfa? I really have such a good ability, how did you Kunlun disciples get me? Miss Zhan, let me tell you, your master Mr. Tieqin is too stingy, don’t say I didn’t learn this’ Kunlun Liangyi Even if you learn a few moves of the sword's one and a half moves, it cannot be said that you have committed a capital crime." 詹春默然不语，心中也暗怪师父小题大做，只因发觉苏习之偷看使剑，便派出六名弟子，千里追杀，终于落到跟此人两败俱伤，心想事到如今，这人也已不必说谎，他既说并未偷学武功，自是不假。 苏习之又道：“他给你们喂毒暗器，却不给解药，武林中有这个规矩么？他妈的……” 詹春柔声道：“苏大哥，小妹害了你，此刻心中好生后悔，好在我也陪你送命，这叫做命该如此。只是累了你家大嫂和公子小姐，实在过意不去。”苏习之叹道：“我女人已在两年前身故，留下一男一女两个孩子，一个六岁，一个四岁，明日他们便是无父无母的孤儿了。”詹春道：“你府上还有谁啊？有人照料孩子么？”苏习之道：“此刻由我嫂子在照看着。我嫂子脾气暴躁，为人刁蛮，就只对我还忌着几分。唉！今后这两个娃娃，可有得苦头吃了。”詹春低声道：“都是我作的孽。” 苏习之摇头道：“那也怪你不得。你奉了师门严令，不得不遵，又不是自己跟我有甚么冤仇。其实，我中了你的喂毒暗器，死了也就算了，何必再打你一掌，又用暗器伤你？否则我以实情相告，你良心好，必能设法照看我那两个苦命的孩儿。”詹春苦笑道：“我是害死你的凶手，怎说得上心好？”苏习之道：“我没怪你，真的，并没怪你。”适才两人拚命恶斗，这时均自知命不久长，留恋人世，心中便具有仁善意。 张无忌听到这里，心想：“这一男一女似乎心地不恶，何况那姓苏的家中尚有两个孩儿。”想起自己和杨不悔身为孤儿之苦，便从草丛中走了出来，说道：“詹姑娘，你丧门钉上喂的是甚么毒药？” 苏习之和詹春突然见草丛中钻出一个少年、一个女孩，已觉奇怪，听得张无忌如此询问，更是惊讶，张无忌道：“我粗通医理，两位所受的伤毒，未必无救。”詹春道：“是甚么毒药，我可不知道。伤口中奇痒难当。我师父说道，中了这丧门钉后，只有四个时辰的性命。”张无忌道：“让我瞧瞧伤势。” 苏詹二人见他年纪既小，又是衣衫破烂，全身污秽，活脱是个小叫化子，哪里信他能治伤毒？苏习之粗声道：“我二人命在顷刻，小孩儿快别在这儿罗唣，给我走得远远的罢。” 张无忌不去睬他，从地上拾起丧门钉，拿到鼻边一闻，嗅到一阵淡淡的兰花香。这些日来，他途中有暇，便翻读王难姑所遗的那部《毒经》，于天下千奇百怪的毒物，已莫不了然于胸，一闻到这阵香气，即知丧门钉上喂的是“青陀罗花”的毒汁。《毒经》上言道，这花汁原有腥臭之气，本身并无毒性，便喝上一碗，也丝毫无害，但一经和鲜血混和，却生剧毒，同时腥臭转为清香，说道：“这是喂了青陀罗花之毒。” 詹春并不知丧门钉上喂的是何毒药，但师父的花圃中种有这种奇花，她却是知道的，奇道：“咦，你怎知道？”要知青陀罗花是极罕见的毒花，源出西域，中上向来所无。张无忌点了点头，说道：“我知道。”携了杨不悔的手，道：“咱们走罢。” 詹春忙道：“小兄弟，你若知治法，请你好心救我二人一命。”张无忌原本有心相救，但突然想到简捷和薛公远要吃人肉时那狞恶的面貌，不由得踌躇。苏习之道：“小相公，在下有眼不识高人，请你莫怪。” 张无忌道：“好罢！我试一试看。”取出金针，在詹春胸口“膻中穴”及肩旁左右“缺盆穴”刺了几下，先止住她胸口掌伤的疼痛，说道：“这青陀罗花见血生毒，入腹却是无碍。两位先用口相互吮吸伤口，至血中绝无凝结的细微血块为止。” 苏习之和詹春都颇觉不好意思，但这时性命要紧，伤口又在自己吮吸不到的肩背之处，只得轮流替对方吸出伤口中毒血。张无忌在山边采了三种草药，嚼烂了替二人敷上伤口，说道：“这三味草药能使毒气暂不上攻，疗毒却是无效。咱们到前面市镇去，寻到药店，我再给你们配药疗毒。”苏詹二人的伤口本来痒得难过之极，敷上草药，登觉清凉，同时四肢不再麻软，当下不住口的称谢。二人各折一根树枝作为拐杖，撑着缓步而行。詹春问起张无忌的师承来历，张无忌不愿细说，只说自幼便懂医理。 行了一个多时辰，到了沙河店，四人投店歇宿。张无忌开了药方，苏习之便命店伴去抓药。这一年豫西一带未受天灾，虽然蒙古官吏横暴残虐，和别地无甚分别，但老百姓总算还有口饭吃。沙河店镇上店铺开设如常。店伴抓了药来，张无忌把药煮好了，喂着苏习之和詹春服下。 四人在客店中住了三日。张无忌每日变换药方，外敷内服，到了第四日上，苏詹二人身上所中剧毒已全部驱除。二人自是大为感激，问起张无忌和杨不悔要到何处。张无忌说了昆仑山坐忘峰的地名。 詹春道：“苏大哥，咱两人的性命，是蒙这位小兄弟救了，可是我那五个师兄却仍在到处寻你，这件事还没了结。你便随我上昆仑山走一遭，好不好？”苏习之吃了一惊，道：“上昆仑山？”詹春道：“不错。我同你去拜见家师，说明你确实并未学到'昆仑两仪剑'的一招半式。此事若不得他老人家原宥，你日后总是祸患无穷。”苏习之心下着恼，说道：“你昆仑派忒也欺人太甚，我只不过多看了一眼，累得险些进入鬼门关，该放手了罢？”詹春柔声道：“苏大哥，你替小妹想想这中间的难处。我去跟师父说，你确实没学到剑法，那也没甚么，但我那五个师兄倘若再出手伤你，小妹心中如何过意得去？” 他二人出生入死的共处数日，相互已生情意，苏习之听了她这软语温存的说话，胸中气恼登时消了，又想：“昆仑派人多势众，给他们阴魂不散的缠上了，免不了还是将性命送在他们手里为止。”詹春见他沉吟，又道：“你先陪我走一遭。你有甚么要紧事，咱们去了昆仑山之后，小妹再陪你一道去办如何？”苏习之喜道：“好，便是这般着。只不知尊师肯不肯信？”詹春道：“师父素来喜欢我，我苦苦相求，谅来不会对你为难。这件事一了结，小妹还想去瞧瞧你的少爷小姐，免得他两个小孩儿受你嫂子欺侮。” 苏习之听她这般说，显有以身相许之意，心中大喜，对张无忌道：“小兄弟，咱们都上昆仑山去，大伙儿一起走，路上也有个伴儿。”詹春道：“昆仑山脉绵延千里，不知有多少山峰，那坐忘峰不知坐落何处。但我们昆仑派要在昆仑山中找一座山峰，总能找到。” 次日苏习之雇了一辆大车，让张无忌和杨不悔乘坐，自己和詹春乘马而行。到了前面大镇上，詹春又去替张无忌和杨不悔买了几套衣衫，把两人换得焕然一新。苏詹二人见这对孩儿洗沐换衣之后，男的英俊，女的秀美，都大声喝起彩来。 两个孩子直到此时，始免长途步行之苦，吃得好了，身子也渐渐丰腴起来。 渐行渐西，天气一天冷似一天，沿途有苏习之和詹春两人照看，一路平安无事。到得西域后，昆仑派势力雄强，更无丝毫阻碍，只是黄沙扑面，寒风透骨，却也着实难熬。 不一日来到昆仑山三圣坳，但见遍地绿草如锦，到处果树香花。苏习之和张无忌万想不到在这荒寒之处竟然有这般好地方，都甚是欢喜。原来那三圣坳四周都是插天高山，挡住了寒气。昆仑派自“昆仑三圣”何足道以来，历代掌门人于七八十年中花了极大力气整顿这个山坳，派遣弟子东至江南，西至天竺，搬移奇花异树前来种植。 詹春带着三人，来到铁琴先生何太冲所居的铁琴居。一进门，只见一众兄弟姊妹均深有忧色，只和她微一点头，便不再说话。詹春心中嘀咕，不知发生了甚么事，拉住一个师妹问道：“师父在家罢？” 那女弟子尚未回答，只听见何太冲暴怒咆哮的声音从后堂传了出来：“都是饭桶，饭桶！有什么事叫你们去办，从来没一件办得妥当。要你们这些脓包弟子何用？”跟着拍桌之声震天价响。詹春向苏习之低声道：“师父在发脾气，咱们别去找钉子碰，明儿再来。” 何太冲突然叫道：“是春儿么？鬼鬼祟祟的在说甚么？那姓苏小贼的首级呢？” 詹春脸上变色，抢步进了内厅，跪下磕头，说道：“弟子拜见师父。” 伺太冲道：“差你去办的事怎么样啦？那姓苏的小贼呢？” 詹春道：“那姓苏的便在外面，来向师父磕头请罪。他说他不懂规矩，确是不该观看师父试演剑法，但本派剑法精微奥妙，他看过之后，只知道这是天下无双的高明剑术，但到底好在哪里，却是莫名其妙，半点也领会不到。”她跟随师父日久，知他武功上极为自负，因此说苏习之极力称誉本门功夫，师父一高兴，便可饶了他。 若在平时，这顶高帽何太冲势必轻轻受落，但今日他心境大为烦躁，哼了一声，说道：“这件事你办得很好！去把那姓苏的关在后山石屋中，慢慢发落。” 詹春见他正在气头上，不敢出口相求，应道：“是！”又问道：“师母们都好？我到后面磕头去。”何太冲共有妻妾五人，最宠爱的是第五小妾，詹春为求师父饶恕苏习之，便想去请这位五师母代下说辞。 何太冲脸上忽现凄恻之色，长叹了一声，道：“你去瞧瞧五姑也好，她病得很重，你总算赶回来还能见到她一面。”詹春吃了一惊，道：“五姑不舒服么？不知是甚么病？” 何太冲叹道：“知道是甚么病就好了。已叫了七八个算是有名的大夫来看过，连甚么病也说不上来，全身浮肿，一个如花似玉的人儿，肿得……唉，不用提了……”说着连连摇头，又道：“收了这许多徒弟，没一个管用。叫他们到长白山去找千年老山人参，去了快两个月啦，没一个死回来，要他们去找雪莲、首乌等救命之物，个个空手而归。” 詹春心想：“从这里到长白山万里之遥，哪能去了即回？到了长白山，也未必就能找到千年人参啊。至于雪莲、首乌等起死回生的珍异药物，找一世也不见得会找到，一时三刻，哪能要有便有？”知道师父对这个小妾爱如性命，眼见她病重不治，自不免迁怒于人。 何太冲又道：“我以内力试她经脉，却是一点异状也没有。哼哼，五姑若是性命不保，我杀尽天下的庸医。”詹春道：“弟子去望望她。”何太冲道：“好，我陪你去。” 师徒俩一起到了五姑的卧房之中。詹春一进门，扑鼻便是一股药气，揭开帐子，只见五姑一张脸肿得犹如猪八戒一般，双眼深陷肉里，几乎睁不开来，喘气甚急，像是扯着风箱。这五姑本是个美女，否则何太冲也不致为她如此着迷，这时一病之下，变成如此丑陋，詹春也不禁大为叹息。 何太冲道：“叫那些庸医再来瞧瞧。”在房中服侍的老妈子答应着出去。 过了不久，只听得铁链声响，进来七个医生。七人脚上系了铁链，给锁在一起，形容憔悴，神色苦恼。这七人都是四川、云南、甘肃一带最有名的医生，被何太冲派弟子半请半拿的捉了来。但七位名医见解各不相同，有的说是水肿，有的说是中邪，所开的药方试服之后，没一张管用，五姑的身子仍是日肿一日。何太冲一怒之下，将七位名医都锁了，宣称五姑若是不治，七个庸医（这时“名医”已改作“庸医”）一齐推入坟中殉葬。 七名医生出尽了全身本事，却治得五姑的身子越来越肿，自知性命不保，但每次会诊，总是大声争论不休，指摘其余六名医生，说五姑所以病重，全是他们所害，与自己无涉。这一次七人进来，诊脉之后，三言两语，便又争执起来。何太冲忧急恼怒，大声喝骂，才将七个不知是名医还是庸医的声音压了下来。 詹春心念一动，说道：“师父，我从河南带来了一个医生，年纪虽然幼小，本领却比他们都高些。”何太冲大喜，叫道：“你何不早说，快请，快请。”每一位名医初到，他对之都十分恭敬，但“名医”一变成“庸医”，他可一点也不客气了。 詹春回到厅上，将张无忌带了进去。张无忌一见何太冲，认得当年在武当山逼死父母的诸人之中，便有他在内，不禁暗暗恼恨。但张无忌隔了这四五年，相貌身材均已大变，何太冲却认他不出，见是个十四五岁的少年，见了自己竟不磕头行礼，侧目斜视，神色间甚是冷峭，当下也不暇理会，问詹春道：“你说的那位医生呢？” 詹春道：“这位小兄弟便是了。他的医道精湛得很，只怕还胜过许多名医。” 何太冲哪里相信，说道：“胡闹！胡闹！”詹春道：“弟子中了青陀罗花之毒，便是得他治好的。”何太冲一惊，心想：“青陀罗花的花毒不得我独门解药，中后必死，这小子居然能治，倒有些邪门。”向张无忌打量了一会，问道：“少年，你真会治病么？” 张无忌想起父母惨死的情景，本来对何太冲心下暗恨，可是他天性不易记仇，否则也不会肯给简捷等人治病，也不会给昆仑派的詹春疗毒了，这时听何太冲如此不客气的询问，虽感不快，还是点了点头。 他一进房，便闻到一股古怪的气息，过了片刻，便觉这气息忽浓忽淡，甚是奇特，走到五姑床前瞧瞧她脸色，按了按她双手脉息，突然取出一根金针，从她肿得如南瓜般的脸上刺了下去。何太冲大吃一惊，喝道：“你干甚么？”待要伸手抓住张无忌时，见他已拔出金针，五姑脸上却无血液脓水渗出。何太冲五根手指离张无忌背心不及半尺，硬生生的停住，只见他将金针凑近鼻端一嗅，点了点头。心中生出一丝指望，道：“小……小兄弟，这病有救么？”以他一派之尊，居然叫张无忌一声“小兄弟”，可算得客气之极了。 张无忌不答，突然爬到五姑床底下瞧了一会，又打开窗子，察看窗外的花圃，忽地从窗中跳出，走近去观赏花卉。何太冲宠爱五姑，她窗外花圃中所种的均是珍奇花卉，这时见张无忌行动怪异，自己心如油煎，盼他立即开方用药，治好五姑的怪病，他却自得其乐的赏起花来，教他如何不怒？但于束手无策之中忽露一线光明，终于强忍怒气，却已满脸黑气，不住的呼吸喘气。 只见张无忌看了一会花草，点点头，若有所悟，回进房来，说道：“病是能治的，可是我不想治。詹姑娘，我要去了。”詹春道：“张兄弟，倘若你治好了五姑的疾病，我们昆仑派上下齐感你的大德，这一定要请你治一治。”张无忌指着何太冲道：“逼死我爹爹妈妈的人中，这位铁琴先生也有份，我为甚么要救他亲人的性命？” 何太冲一惊，问道：“小兄弟，你贵姓，令尊令堂是谁？”张无忌道：“我姓张，先父是武当派的第五弟子。”何太冲一凛：“原来他是张翠山的儿子。武当派着实了得，他家学渊源，料来必有些本事。”当即惨然长叹，说道：“张兄弟，令尊在世之时，在下和他甚是交好，他自刎身亡，我痛惜不止……”他为了救爱妾的性命，便信口胡吹。詹春也帮着师父圆谎，说道：“令尊令堂死后，家师痛哭了几场，常跟我们众弟子说，令尊是他平生最交好的良友。张兄弟，你何不早说？早知你是张五侠的令郎，我对你更要加倍相敬了。” 张无忌半信半疑，但他生性不易记仇，便道：“这位夫人不是生了怪病，是中了金银血蛇的蛇毒。”何太冲和詹春齐声道：“金银血蛇？”张无忌道：“不错，这种毒蛇我也从来没见过，但夫人脸颊肿胀，金针探后针上却有檀香之气。何先生，请你瞧瞧夫人的脚，十根足趾的趾尖上可有细小齿痕。” 何太冲忙掀开五姑身上的棉被，凝目看她的足趾时，果见每根足趾的尖端都有几个紫黑色齿痕，但细如米粒，若非有意找寻，决计看不出来。 何太冲一见之下，对张无忌的信心陡增十倍，说道：“不错，不错，当真每足趾上都有齿痕，小兄弟实在高明，实在高明。小兄弟既知病源，必能疗治。小妾病愈之后，我必当重重酬谢。”转头对七个医生喝道：“甚么风寒中邪，阳虚阴亏，都是胡说八道！她足趾上的齿痕，你们七只大饭桶怎地瞧不出来？”虽是骂人，语调却是喜气洋洋。 张无忌道：“夫人此病本甚奇特，他们不知病源，那也难怪，都放了他们回去罢。” 何太冲笑道：“很好，很好！小兄弟大驾光临，再留这些庸医在此，不是惹人厌么？春儿，每人送一百两银子，叫他们各自回去。” 那七个庸医死里逃生，无不大喜过望，急急离去，生怕张无忌的医法不灵，何太冲又把这个“小庸医”跟自己锁在一起，要八名大小“庸医”齐为爱妾殉葬。 张无忌道：“请叫仆妇搬开夫人卧床，床底有个小洞，便是金银血蛇出入的洞穴。”何太冲不等仆妇动手，右手抓起一只床脚，单手便连人带床一齐提开，果见床底有个小洞，不禁又喜又怒，叫道：“快取硫磺烟火来，薰出毒蛇，斩它个千刀万剑！” 张无忌摇手道：“使不得，使不得！夫人所中的蛇毒，全仗这两条毒蛇医治，你杀了毒蛇，夫人的病便治不来了。”何太冲道：“原来如此。中间的原委，倒要请教。”这“请教”两字，自他业师逝世，今日是第一次再出他口。 张无忌指着窗外的花圃道：“何先生，尊夫人的疾病，全由花圃中那八株'灵脂兰'而起。”何太冲道：“这叫做'灵脂兰'么？我也不知其名，有一位朋友知我性爱花草，从西域带来了这八盆兰花送我。这花开放时有檀香之气，花朵的颜色又极娇艳，想不到竟是祸胎。”张无忌道：“据书上所载，这'灵脂兰'其茎如球，颜色火红，球茎中含有剧毒。咱们去掘起来瞧瞧，不知是也不是。” 这时众弟子均已得知有个小大夫在治五师母的怪病。男弟子不便进房，詹春等六个女弟子都在旁边。听得张无忌这般话，便有两个女弟子拿了铁铲，将一株灵脂兰掘了起来，果见上下的球茎色赤如火。两名女弟子听说茎中含有剧毒，哪敢用手去碰？ 张无忌道：“请各位将八枚球茎都掘出来，放在土钵之中，加入鸡蛋八枚，鸡血一碗，捣烂成糊，捣药时务请小心，不可溅上肌肤。”詹春答应了，自和两名师妹同去办理。张无忌又要了两根尺许长短的竹筒，一枝竹棒，放在一旁。 过不多时，灵脂兰的球茎已捣烂成糊。张无忌将药糊倒在地下，围成一个圆圈，却空出一个两寸来长的缺口，说道：“待会见到异状，各位千万不可出声，以免毒蛇受到惊吓，逃得无影无踪。各位去取些甘草、棉花，塞住鼻孔。”众人依言而为。张无忌也塞住了鼻孔，然后取出火种，将灵脂兰的叶子放在蛇洞前烧了起来。 不到一盏茶时分，只见小洞中探出一个小小蛇头，蛇身血红，头顶却有个金色肉冠。那蛇缓缓爬出，竟是生有四足，身长约莫八寸；跟着洞中又爬出一蛇，身子略短，形相一般，但头顶肉冠则作银色。 何太冲等见了这两条怪蛇，都是屏息不敢作声。这种异相毒蛇必有剧毒，自不必说，众人武功高强，倒也不惧，但若将之惊走了，只怕夫人的恶疾难治。 只见两条怪蛇伸出蛇舌，互舐肩背，十分亲热，相偎相依，慢慢爬进了灵脂兰药糊围成的圆圈之中。张无忌忙将一根竹筒放在圆圈的缺口外，提起竹棒，轻轻在银冠血蛇的尾上一拨。那蛇行动快如电闪，众人只见银光一闪，那蛇已钻入竹筒。金冠血蛇跟着也要钻入，但竹筒甚小，只容得一蛇，金冠血蛇无法再进，只急得胡胡而叫。张无忌用竹棒将另一根竹筒拨到金冠血蛇身前，那蛇便也钻了进去。张无忌忙取过木塞，塞住了竹筒口子。
Zhang Wuji took Yang Buhui's hand, walked out of the woods, and was about to find a way, when he suddenly saw the torches shining on the east head, there were seven or eight people with weapons in their hands, running quickly.Zhang and Yang hurriedly hid in the grass.The man rushed to the neighborhood, and saw that the first person was Xu Da, holding a torch high in his left hand, holding a spear in his right hand, and shouting loudly: "You evil man-eating thief, take your life!" Everyone rushed into the woods, and they were all stunned to see Jian Xue and the other four died there.Xu Da shouted: "Brother Zhang, are you alright? We are here to rescue you!" Zhang Wuji shouted: "Brother Xu, brother is here!" and ran out of the grass. Xu Da was overjoyed, picked him up, and said: "Brother Zhang, a chivalrous person like you, not to mention a child, is rare among adults. I'm afraid that you have been hurt by the hands of evil thieves. Fortunately, there will be good rewards." , Evil is rewarded with evil, and it is retribution that is not good." Asking how Jian Xue and others were poisoned, Zhang Wuji mentioned the matter of making soup with poisonous bacteria, and everyone praised him for being smart. Xu Da said: "These are all good friends of mine. They slaughtered a cow, and everyone happened to be cooking in Huangjue Temple. I went as soon as I called. But if it wasn't for Brother Zhang's wit, we would have come too late." Now introduce Zhang Wuji one by one. A man named Tang Minghe with big ears; a heroic man named Deng Mingyu;The last one was a monk, very ugly, with his chin protruding forward like a shovel, his face was uneven with many scars and moles, his eyes were deep-set and piercing.Xu Da said: "Brother Zhu, named Yuanzhang, is currently a monk in Huangjue Temple." Hua Yun said with a smile: "He is a romantic and happy monk. He doesn't like to recite scriptures and worship Buddha. He drinks and eats meat all day long." Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's ugly face, Yang Buhui was afraid and hid behind Zhang Wuji.Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Although the monk eats meat, he doesn't eat people. Little sister don't have to be afraid." Tang He said: "The pot of beef we cooked should be done by now." Hua Yun said: "Go quickly! Little sister, I will carry you on my back." Putting Yang Buhui on his back, he strode away.Seeing that this dry man is bold and happy, Zhang Wuji is also happy in his heart. After walking four or five miles, I came to a temple.Walking into the hall, you can smell the aroma of roasted meat.Wu Liang exclaimed: "It's done, it's done!" Xu Da said, "Brother Zhang, rest here and let's go and bring out the beef." Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui sat side by side on the futon in the main hall.Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He, Deng Yu, etc. were in a hurry and brought out big pots of cooked beef.Brothers Wu Liang and Wu Zhen raised a jar of white wine, and everyone cheered and drank in front of the Bodhisattva.Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui had been hungry for several days, now they had beef to eat, so they felt indescribably happy. Hua Yun said: "Brother Xu, our canon is good for everything, but meat is not allowed, it's a bit of a problem." Zhang Wuji's heart trembled: "It turns out that they are also members of Mingjiao. Mingjiao's rules are to eat vegetables and worship the devil, but here they eat beef." Xu Da said: "The first essence of our canon is to 'do good and get rid of evil'. Although eating meat is not good, it is a last resort. There is no rice and no vegetables at this moment. Could it be that we are starving to death while watching the cooked beef?" ?" Deng Yu clapped his hands and shouted: "Brother Xu's words have always been the most insightful, eat, eat!" In the dining and drinking room, suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, followed by someone knocking on the door.Tang He jumped up and shouted: "Ah yes! Zhang Yuanwai's family is looking for cattle!" Only to hear the temple door being pushed open, and two powerful servants with their chests and bellies stepped in.One person shouted: "Okay! Sure enough, you stole the big cow from Yuanwai's family!" He said and grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang.Another person said: "You cheap monk, where are you going to escape today when you have all the stolen goods? Tomorrow, I will send you to the mansion and beat you to death with a board." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "It's really nonsense, how dare you blame us for stealing the bulls from other members? Isn't it a crime for you to rely on me to eat meat because the monks are vegetarians?" Pointing at the beef in the bowl, the manly servant shouted: "Isn't this beef?" Zhu Yuanzhang winked and said with a smile, "Who said beef?" Brothers Wu Liang and Wu Zhen walked up behind the two servants, shouted, and grabbed their arms. Zhu Yuanzhang pulled out a dagger from his waist and said with a smile, "You two big brothers, to be honest, what we eat is not beef, but human flesh. Since I saw it for you today, I had to eat the two of you to silence it, so as not to leak it. With a chisel, the clothes on the chest of a noble servant were cut, and a bloodstain appeared on his chest with the tip of the knife.The noble servant was shocked, and repeatedly shouted: "Forgive...forgive..." Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed a handful of beef, stuffed them in the mouths of the two, and shouted: "Swallow it!" The two swallowed it without daring to chew it.Zhu Yuanzhang went to the kitchen, grabbed a lot of ox hair, stuffed them in the mouths of the two, and shouted: "Swallow it quickly!" The two had to swallow it again with bitter faces.Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "If you go and tell the staff that I stole his ox, we will disembowel and confront him, and see who ate the beef without even pulling out the hair." Last drag.The man felt the cold knife cut across his stomach, and screamed in fright. The Wu brothers laughed loudly, and kicked the two of them hard on their buttocks, causing them to roll out of the hall.Everyone laughed and scolded the two noble servants for asking for trouble. They usually rely on Zhang Yuanwai's momentum to bully the villagers. Zhang Wuji was amused and admired at the same time, he thought to himself: "Although this monk surnamed Zhu looks ugly, his actions are clean and straightforward, he can't move people at all, his methods are so powerful." Zhu Yuanzhang and others had heard from Xu Da earlier that Zhang Wuji was willing to give up his life to save Yang Buhui, they all loved him as a chivalrous young man, treated him differently from ordinary children, toasted him with wine and meat, as if he were a good friend. When the drink was in full swing, Deng Yu sighed: "We Han people have been oppressed by Hu slaves, and we have suffered a lifetime of filth. Today, we don't even have a bite of bitter food. How can we live on in such a life?" Hua Yun slapped his legs He shouted: "Seeing that half of the people in Fengyang Mansion have died, I see the same everywhere in the world. Instead of starving to death, it is better to fight with the Tartars." Xu Dalang said: "Today, human lives are cheaper than pigs and dogs. These two little brothers and sisters have almost become the stuff of other people's stomachs. In the whole world, how many good people have become cattle and sheep? A man can't save people from fire and water, and life is useless." Tang He also said : "That's right. We were lucky today, we stole a bull to eat, and we may not be able to steal it again tomorrow. Most of the good men in the world don't have enough food and clothing. Could it be that all the heroes are going to be thieves?" The more they talked, the more angry they became, He yelled at the Tartars for harming people. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Here we are scolding by thousands of thieves, can we scold a Tartar off a hair? He is a man with a backbone, so he will kill the Tartar!" Tang He, Deng Yu, Hua Yun, and the Wu brothers They all shouted in unison: "Go, go!" Xu Da said: "Brother Zhu, you don't need to be a monk who is so tired. You are the oldest, and everyone listens to you." Zhu Yuanzhang did not refuse, and said: "From now on, we will live and die together, share the blessings, and share the difficulties." Everyone picked up the wine bowls and drank it up, drew their knives and chopped the table, with arrogance. Yang Buhui looked at the crowd, didn't understand what they were saying, and was secretly afraid.But Zhang Wuji thought: "Grand Master has repeatedly told me not to make friends with people from the Demon Cult. But Brother Chang Yuchun and this Brother Xu are both from the Demon Cult, compared to Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan, who are well-known and upright disciples, they are better people." But it's ten thousand times better." He has always had great respect for Zhang Sanfeng, but from his own experience, he felt that Grand Master had prejudice against people from the Demon Cult.Even so, I still think that Grand Master's words cannot be disobeyed. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "A good man does what he says, and he is full of food at the moment, so he just does what he wants to do. Zhang Yuan's family is hosting a banquet for Tartar officers and soldiers today. Let's go and kill them first." Hua Yun said: "Excellent!" Lifting the knife stood up. Xu Da said: "Wait a minute!" He took a basket from the kitchen, filled it with 14 to 5 catties of cooked beef, handed it to Zhang Wuji, and said, "Brother Zhang, you are still young, you can't do this murder of officials and rebellion with us. We These few people are so poor that they have no money, so I have to give you these catties of beef. If we are lucky enough to survive, we will meet again in the future, and everyone will have another good meal of beef." Zhang Wuji took the basket and said: "But I hope you will make great contributions to drive out the Tartars and let the people in the world have food." After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He, Deng Yu and others clapped their hands in praise, and said, "Brother Zhang, you are right, we will meet later." Saying that, they each raised their weapons and left the temple. Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "They are going here to kill the Tartars. If I hadn't brought this little girl with me, I would have gone with them too. There are only seven of them. If they were outnumbered, the Tartars and Zhuang Ding in Zhang Yuanwai's family would definitely kill them." If you come to hunt them down, you cannot live in this temple." So they took a basket of beef and left the temple with Yang Buhui. After walking for four or five miles in the dark, I suddenly saw red light rising into the sky from the north, and the fire was very fierce. I knew that Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others succeeded in burning Zhang Yuanwai's Zhuangzi, and I was very happy.The two slept in the mountains for half the night that night, and then headed west the next morning.
The sufferings of the two children, the wind, the frost, the hunger and the cold, are endless.Fortunately, Yang Buhui's parents are both famous martial arts masters, and they were born with strong physiques. The little girl traveled a long distance, but she didn't get sick, but she had a slight cold. Zhang Wuji picked some herbs and cured her casually.But the two walked and rested every day, and at most they only walked twenty or thirty miles, and they walked for fifteen or sixteen days before they reached the border of Henan Province. There is no difference between Henan and Anhui. There is famine everywhere and starvation everywhere.Zhang Wuji made a pair of bows and arrows, shot birds and killed animals, satiated and hungry all day long, and traveled west slowly with Yang Buhui.Fortunately, I didn't meet Mongolian officers and soldiers on the way, and I didn't meet people from the world. As for the ordinary rogues who wanted to make evil plans, how could they be Zhang Wuji's opponents? One day he chatted with an old man he met on the way, and said that he would go to Kunlun Mountain to sit Wangfeng.The old man's eyes were wide open, he was stunned, and said: "Little brother, Kunlun Mountain is more than a hundred and eight thousand miles away from here. I heard that there was a monk in the Tang Dynasty to learn Buddhist scriptures, so I went here. You two children, are you crazy? What? Where do you live, go home quickly!" When Zhang Wuji heard this, he couldn't help feeling frustrated, and thought to himself: "Kunlun Mountain is so far away, I can't go there, so I have to go to Wudang Mountain to see the Grand Master." How can I back down halfway? I don't have much life, if I don't send Buhui's sister to me before I die, I will be sorry to Aunt Ji." Stop talking to the old man, just hold Yang Buhui's hand. After another 20 days of walking, the two children were already in tatters and haggard.What troubled Zhang Wuji the most was that Yang Buhui was always clamoring for his mother, seeing that his mother never flew down from the sky, he often cried for a long time.Zhang Wuji used many metaphors to enlighten him, saying that on the way west, he went to find her mother, told a story, made a funny face, and made her laugh out of tears. After passing Zhumadian that day, it was late autumn and early winter, the new wind was blowing, and the two children couldn't help shivering because of their poor clothes.Zhang Wuji took off his tattered outer shirt and put it on for Yang Buhui.Yang Buhui said: "Brother Wuji, aren't you cold?" Zhang Wuji said: "I'm not cold, it's too hot." He jumped a few times with all his strength.Yang Buhui said: "It's so kind of you to me! You're cold yourself, but you gave me clothes to wear." Zhang Wuji couldn't help but startled when the little girl suddenly said something like an adult. At this moment, I suddenly heard the clanging of weapons coming from behind the hillside, and following the sound of footsteps, a woman's voice shouted: "Evil thief, you have been hit by my poisonous death door nail, the faster you run, the faster you run. It happens faster!" Zhang Wuji hurriedly pulled Yang Buhui to lie down in the grass by the side of the road, he saw a strong man in his thirties running towards him, a few feet later a woman with two knives was chasing him.The man staggered, and suddenly his feet went limp, and he rolled to the ground.The woman chased him and shouted: "You will die in the hands of the girl!" The man jumped up suddenly, and slapped his right palm, hitting the woman's chest with a bang.This blow was so strong that the woman fell on her back, and the two knives in her hand fell far away. The man pulled the funeral nail from his back with his backhand, and said bitterly: "Get the antidote." The woman sneered and said: "This time the master sent us to catch you, but we only gave you the poisonous hidden weapon and no antidote. Since I fall into your hands, I will accept my fate, but you don't expect to survive." The man pointed the knife point at her throat with his left hand, and searched in her pocket with his right hand, but he didn't find any medicine.The man was so angry that he picked up the poisonous mourning nail and threw it hard, nailed it on the woman's shoulder, and shouted: "I want you to taste the poisonous funeral nail yourself, you Kunlun sect..." Without finishing his sentence, The poison broke out on his back, and he slumped to the ground.The woman tried to struggle to get up, but spat out a mouthful of blood with a wow, sat down again, pulled out the funeral nails on her shoulders, and threw them on the ground. A man and a woman were lying in the grass beside the road, breathing heavily and panting continuously.Zhang Wuji has been wary of people in the martial arts world since his treatment of Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan's backlash, so he hid aside to watch the movement, not daring to come out. After a while, the man let out a long sigh and said, "I, Su Xizhi, died in Zhumadian today. I still offended your Kunlun faction for some reason. I really don't want to die. You have chased me for thousands of miles, so you must kill me." No, what is it for? Miss Zhan, please tell me kindly!" There was no hostility in the words. The woman Zhan Chun knew the strength of the poison-feeding nails in the master's door. Seeing that she was about to die with him, she was completely hopeless, and said quietly: "Who told you to peek at my master's sword practice, this 'Kunlun Liangyi sword', If it wasn't taught by the old man himself, even if the disciples of the sect peeped at him, he would also be punished with gouging out his eyes, let alone you are an outsider?" Su Xizhi said with an "ah", "Damn it, damn it, damn it! Zhan Chun said angrily: "You are dying, and you are still scolding my master?" Su Xizhi said: "What if I scold you? Isn't this wronged? I passed by Bainiu Mountain, and I accidentally saw your master wielding a sword. I was curious, so I watched it for a while. Could it be that I can see this for a while? Have you learned Lu Jianfa? I really have such a good ability, how did you Kunlun disciples get me? Miss Zhan, let me tell you, your master Mr. Tieqin is too stingy, don’t say I didn’t learn this’ Kunlun Liangyi Even if you learn a few moves of the sword's one and a half moves, it cannot be said that you have committed a capital crime." 詹春默然不语，心中也暗怪师父小题大做，只因发觉苏习之偷看使剑，便派出六名弟子，千里追杀，终于落到跟此人两败俱伤，心想事到如今，这人也已不必说谎，他既说并未偷学武功，自是不假。 苏习之又道：“他给你们喂毒暗器，却不给解药，武林中有这个规矩么？他妈的……” 詹春柔声道：“苏大哥，小妹害了你，此刻心中好生后悔，好在我也陪你送命，这叫做命该如此。只是累了你家大嫂和公子小姐，实在过意不去。”苏习之叹道：“我女人已在两年前身故，留下一男一女两个孩子，一个六岁，一个四岁，明日他们便是无父无母的孤儿了。”詹春道：“你府上还有谁啊？有人照料孩子么？”苏习之道：“此刻由我嫂子在照看着。我嫂子脾气暴躁，为人刁蛮，就只对我还忌着几分。唉！今后这两个娃娃，可有得苦头吃了。”詹春低声道：“都是我作的孽。” 苏习之摇头道：“那也怪你不得。你奉了师门严令，不得不遵，又不是自己跟我有甚么冤仇。其实，我中了你的喂毒暗器，死了也就算了，何必再打你一掌，又用暗器伤你？否则我以实情相告，你良心好，必能设法照看我那两个苦命的孩儿。”詹春苦笑道：“我是害死你的凶手，怎说得上心好？”苏习之道：“我没怪你，真的，并没怪你。”适才两人拚命恶斗，这时均自知命不久长，留恋人世，心中便具有仁善意。 张无忌听到这里，心想：“这一男一女似乎心地不恶，何况那姓苏的家中尚有两个孩儿。”想起自己和杨不悔身为孤儿之苦，便从草丛中走了出来，说道：“詹姑娘，你丧门钉上喂的是甚么毒药？” 苏习之和詹春突然见草丛中钻出一个少年、一个女孩，已觉奇怪，听得张无忌如此询问，更是惊讶，张无忌道：“我粗通医理，两位所受的伤毒，未必无救。”詹春道：“是甚么毒药，我可不知道。伤口中奇痒难当。我师父说道，中了这丧门钉后，只有四个时辰的性命。”张无忌道：“让我瞧瞧伤势。” 苏詹二人见他年纪既小，又是衣衫破烂，全身污秽，活脱是个小叫化子，哪里信他能治伤毒？苏习之粗声道：“我二人命在顷刻，小孩儿快别在这儿罗唣，给我走得远远的罢。” 张无忌不去睬他，从地上拾起丧门钉，拿到鼻边一闻，嗅到一阵淡淡的兰花香。这些日来，他途中有暇，便翻读王难姑所遗的那部《毒经》，于天下千奇百怪的毒物，已莫不了然于胸，一闻到这阵香气，即知丧门钉上喂的是“青陀罗花”的毒汁。《毒经》上言道，这花汁原有腥臭之气，本身并无毒性，便喝上一碗，也丝毫无害，但一经和鲜血混和，却生剧毒，同时腥臭转为清香，说道：“这是喂了青陀罗花之毒。” 詹春并不知丧门钉上喂的是何毒药，但师父的花圃中种有这种奇花，她却是知道的，奇道：“咦，你怎知道？”要知青陀罗花是极罕见的毒花，源出西域，中上向来所无。张无忌点了点头，说道：“我知道。”携了杨不悔的手，道：“咱们走罢。” 詹春忙道：“小兄弟，你若知治法，请你好心救我二人一命。”张无忌原本有心相救，但突然想到简捷和薛公远要吃人肉时那狞恶的面貌，不由得踌躇。苏习之道：“小相公，在下有眼不识高人，请你莫怪。” 张无忌道：“好罢！我试一试看。”取出金针，在詹春胸口“膻中穴”及肩旁左右“缺盆穴”刺了几下，先止住她胸口掌伤的疼痛，说道：“这青陀罗花见血生毒，入腹却是无碍。两位先用口相互吮吸伤口，至血中绝无凝结的细微血块为止。” 苏习之和詹春都颇觉不好意思，但这时性命要紧，伤口又在自己吮吸不到的肩背之处，只得轮流替对方吸出伤口中毒血。张无忌在山边采了三种草药，嚼烂了替二人敷上伤口，说道：“这三味草药能使毒气暂不上攻，疗毒却是无效。咱们到前面市镇去，寻到药店，我再给你们配药疗毒。”苏詹二人的伤口本来痒得难过之极，敷上草药，登觉清凉，同时四肢不再麻软，当下不住口的称谢。二人各折一根树枝作为拐杖，撑着缓步而行。詹春问起张无忌的师承来历，张无忌不愿细说，只说自幼便懂医理。 行了一个多时辰，到了沙河店，四人投店歇宿。张无忌开了药方，苏习之便命店伴去抓药。这一年豫西一带未受天灾，虽然蒙古官吏横暴残虐，和别地无甚分别，但老百姓总算还有口饭吃。沙河店镇上店铺开设如常。店伴抓了药来，张无忌把药煮好了，喂着苏习之和詹春服下。 四人在客店中住了三日。张无忌每日变换药方，外敷内服，到了第四日上，苏詹二人身上所中剧毒已全部驱除。二人自是大为感激，问起张无忌和杨不悔要到何处。张无忌说了昆仑山坐忘峰的地名。 詹春道：“苏大哥，咱两人的性命，是蒙这位小兄弟救了，可是我那五个师兄却仍在到处寻你，这件事还没了结。你便随我上昆仑山走一遭，好不好？”苏习之吃了一惊，道：“上昆仑山？”詹春道：“不错。我同你去拜见家师，说明你确实并未学到'昆仑两仪剑'的一招半式。此事若不得他老人家原宥，你日后总是祸患无穷。”苏习之心下着恼，说道：“你昆仑派忒也欺人太甚，我只不过多看了一眼，累得险些进入鬼门关，该放手了罢？”詹春柔声道：“苏大哥，你替小妹想想这中间的难处。我去跟师父说，你确实没学到剑法，那也没甚么，但我那五个师兄倘若再出手伤你，小妹心中如何过意得去？” 他二人出生入死的共处数日，相互已生情意，苏习之听了她这软语温存的说话，胸中气恼登时消了，又想：“昆仑派人多势众，给他们阴魂不散的缠上了，免不了还是将性命送在他们手里为止。”詹春见他沉吟，又道：“你先陪我走一遭。你有甚么要紧事，咱们去了昆仑山之后，小妹再陪你一道去办如何？”苏习之喜道：“好，便是这般着。只不知尊师肯不肯信？”詹春道：“师父素来喜欢我，我苦苦相求，谅来不会对你为难。这件事一了结，小妹还想去瞧瞧你的少爷小姐，免得他两个小孩儿受你嫂子欺侮。” 苏习之听她这般说，显有以身相许之意，心中大喜，对张无忌道：“小兄弟，咱们都上昆仑山去，大伙儿一起走，路上也有个伴儿。”詹春道：“昆仑山脉绵延千里，不知有多少山峰，那坐忘峰不知坐落何处。但我们昆仑派要在昆仑山中找一座山峰，总能找到。” 次日苏习之雇了一辆大车，让张无忌和杨不悔乘坐，自己和詹春乘马而行。到了前面大镇上，詹春又去替张无忌和杨不悔买了几套衣衫，把两人换得焕然一新。苏詹二人见这对孩儿洗沐换衣之后，男的英俊，女的秀美，都大声喝起彩来。 两个孩子直到此时，始免长途步行之苦，吃得好了，身子也渐渐丰腴起来。 渐行渐西，天气一天冷似一天，沿途有苏习之和詹春两人照看，一路平安无事。到得西域后，昆仑派势力雄强，更无丝毫阻碍，只是黄沙扑面，寒风透骨，却也着实难熬。 不一日来到昆仑山三圣坳，但见遍地绿草如锦，到处果树香花。苏习之和张无忌万想不到在这荒寒之处竟然有这般好地方，都甚是欢喜。原来那三圣坳四周都是插天高山，挡住了寒气。昆仑派自“昆仑三圣”何足道以来，历代掌门人于七八十年中花了极大力气整顿这个山坳，派遣弟子东至江南，西至天竺，搬移奇花异树前来种植。 詹春带着三人，来到铁琴先生何太冲所居的铁琴居。一进门，只见一众兄弟姊妹均深有忧色，只和她微一点头，便不再说话。詹春心中嘀咕，不知发生了甚么事，拉住一个师妹问道：“师父在家罢？” 那女弟子尚未回答，只听见何太冲暴怒咆哮的声音从后堂传了出来：“都是饭桶，饭桶！有什么事叫你们去办，从来没一件办得妥当。要你们这些脓包弟子何用？”跟着拍桌之声震天价响。詹春向苏习之低声道：“师父在发脾气，咱们别去找钉子碰，明儿再来。” 何太冲突然叫道：“是春儿么？鬼鬼祟祟的在说甚么？那姓苏小贼的首级呢？” 詹春脸上变色，抢步进了内厅，跪下磕头，说道：“弟子拜见师父。” 伺太冲道：“差你去办的事怎么样啦？那姓苏的小贼呢？” 詹春道：“那姓苏的便在外面，来向师父磕头请罪。他说他不懂规矩，确是不该观看师父试演剑法，但本派剑法精微奥妙，他看过之后，只知道这是天下无双的高明剑术，但到底好在哪里，却是莫名其妙，半点也领会不到。”她跟随师父日久，知他武功上极为自负，因此说苏习之极力称誉本门功夫，师父一高兴，便可饶了他。 若在平时，这顶高帽何太冲势必轻轻受落，但今日他心境大为烦躁，哼了一声，说道：“这件事你办得很好！去把那姓苏的关在后山石屋中，慢慢发落。” 詹春见他正在气头上，不敢出口相求，应道：“是！”又问道：“师母们都好？我到后面磕头去。”何太冲共有妻妾五人，最宠爱的是第五小妾，詹春为求师父饶恕苏习之，便想去请这位五师母代下说辞。 何太冲脸上忽现凄恻之色，长叹了一声，道：“你去瞧瞧五姑也好，她病得很重，你总算赶回来还能见到她一面。”詹春吃了一惊，道：“五姑不舒服么？不知是甚么病？” 何太冲叹道：“知道是甚么病就好了。已叫了七八个算是有名的大夫来看过，连甚么病也说不上来，全身浮肿，一个如花似玉的人儿，肿得……唉，不用提了……”说着连连摇头，又道：“收了这许多徒弟，没一个管用。叫他们到长白山去找千年老山人参，去了快两个月啦，没一个死回来，要他们去找雪莲、首乌等救命之物，个个空手而归。” 詹春心想：“从这里到长白山万里之遥，哪能去了即回？到了长白山，也未必就能找到千年人参啊。至于雪莲、首乌等起死回生的珍异药物，找一世也不见得会找到，一时三刻，哪能要有便有？”知道师父对这个小妾爱如性命，眼见她病重不治，自不免迁怒于人。 何太冲又道：“我以内力试她经脉，却是一点异状也没有。哼哼，五姑若是性命不保，我杀尽天下的庸医。”詹春道：“弟子去望望她。”何太冲道：“好，我陪你去。” 师徒俩一起到了五姑的卧房之中。詹春一进门，扑鼻便是一股药气，揭开帐子，只见五姑一张脸肿得犹如猪八戒一般，双眼深陷肉里，几乎睁不开来，喘气甚急，像是扯着风箱。这五姑本是个美女，否则何太冲也不致为她如此着迷，这时一病之下，变成如此丑陋，詹春也不禁大为叹息。 何太冲道：“叫那些庸医再来瞧瞧。”在房中服侍的老妈子答应着出去。 过了不久，只听得铁链声响，进来七个医生。七人脚上系了铁链，给锁在一起，形容憔悴，神色苦恼。这七人都是四川、云南、甘肃一带最有名的医生，被何太冲派弟子半请半拿的捉了来。但七位名医见解各不相同，有的说是水肿，有的说是中邪，所开的药方试服之后，没一张管用，五姑的身子仍是日肿一日。何太冲一怒之下，将七位名医都锁了，宣称五姑若是不治，七个庸医（这时“名医”已改作“庸医”）一齐推入坟中殉葬。 七名医生出尽了全身本事，却治得五姑的身子越来越肿，自知性命不保，但每次会诊，总是大声争论不休，指摘其余六名医生，说五姑所以病重，全是他们所害，与自己无涉。这一次七人进来，诊脉之后，三言两语，便又争执起来。何太冲忧急恼怒，大声喝骂，才将七个不知是名医还是庸医的声音压了下来。 詹春心念一动，说道：“师父，我从河南带来了一个医生，年纪虽然幼小，本领却比他们都高些。”何太冲大喜，叫道：“你何不早说，快请，快请。”每一位名医初到，他对之都十分恭敬，但“名医”一变成“庸医”，他可一点也不客气了。 詹春回到厅上，将张无忌带了进去。张无忌一见何太冲，认得当年在武当山逼死父母的诸人之中，便有他在内，不禁暗暗恼恨。但张无忌隔了这四五年，相貌身材均已大变，何太冲却认他不出，见是个十四五岁的少年，见了自己竟不磕头行礼，侧目斜视，神色间甚是冷峭，当下也不暇理会，问詹春道：“你说的那位医生呢？” 詹春道：“这位小兄弟便是了。他的医道精湛得很，只怕还胜过许多名医。” 何太冲哪里相信，说道：“胡闹！胡闹！”詹春道：“弟子中了青陀罗花之毒，便是得他治好的。”何太冲一惊，心想：“青陀罗花的花毒不得我独门解药，中后必死，这小子居然能治，倒有些邪门。”向张无忌打量了一会，问道：“少年，你真会治病么？” 张无忌想起父母惨死的情景，本来对何太冲心下暗恨，可是他天性不易记仇，否则也不会肯给简捷等人治病，也不会给昆仑派的詹春疗毒了，这时听何太冲如此不客气的询问，虽感不快，还是点了点头。 他一进房，便闻到一股古怪的气息，过了片刻，便觉这气息忽浓忽淡，甚是奇特，走到五姑床前瞧瞧她脸色，按了按她双手脉息，突然取出一根金针，从她肿得如南瓜般的脸上刺了下去。何太冲大吃一惊，喝道：“你干甚么？”待要伸手抓住张无忌时，见他已拔出金针，五姑脸上却无血液脓水渗出。何太冲五根手指离张无忌背心不及半尺，硬生生的停住，只见他将金针凑近鼻端一嗅，点了点头。心中生出一丝指望，道：“小……小兄弟，这病有救么？”以他一派之尊，居然叫张无忌一声“小兄弟”，可算得客气之极了。 张无忌不答，突然爬到五姑床底下瞧了一会，又打开窗子，察看窗外的花圃，忽地从窗中跳出，走近去观赏花卉。何太冲宠爱五姑，她窗外花圃中所种的均是珍奇花卉，这时见张无忌行动怪异，自己心如油煎，盼他立即开方用药，治好五姑的怪病，他却自得其乐的赏起花来，教他如何不怒？但于束手无策之中忽露一线光明，终于强忍怒气，却已满脸黑气，不住的呼吸喘气。 只见张无忌看了一会花草，点点头，若有所悟，回进房来，说道：“病是能治的，可是我不想治。詹姑娘，我要去了。”詹春道：“张兄弟，倘若你治好了五姑的疾病，我们昆仑派上下齐感你的大德，这一定要请你治一治。”张无忌指着何太冲道：“逼死我爹爹妈妈的人中，这位铁琴先生也有份，我为甚么要救他亲人的性命？” 何太冲一惊，问道：“小兄弟，你贵姓，令尊令堂是谁？”张无忌道：“我姓张，先父是武当派的第五弟子。”何太冲一凛：“原来他是张翠山的儿子。武当派着实了得，他家学渊源，料来必有些本事。”当即惨然长叹，说道：“张兄弟，令尊在世之时，在下和他甚是交好，他自刎身亡，我痛惜不止……”他为了救爱妾的性命，便信口胡吹。詹春也帮着师父圆谎，说道：“令尊令堂死后，家师痛哭了几场，常跟我们众弟子说，令尊是他平生最交好的良友。张兄弟，你何不早说？早知你是张五侠的令郎，我对你更要加倍相敬了。” 张无忌半信半疑，但他生性不易记仇，便道：“这位夫人不是生了怪病，是中了金银血蛇的蛇毒。”何太冲和詹春齐声道：“金银血蛇？”张无忌道：“不错，这种毒蛇我也从来没见过，但夫人脸颊肿胀，金针探后针上却有檀香之气。何先生，请你瞧瞧夫人的脚，十根足趾的趾尖上可有细小齿痕。” 何太冲忙掀开五姑身上的棉被，凝目看她的足趾时，果见每根足趾的尖端都有几个紫黑色齿痕，但细如米粒，若非有意找寻，决计看不出来。 何太冲一见之下，对张无忌的信心陡增十倍，说道：“不错，不错，当真每足趾上都有齿痕，小兄弟实在高明，实在高明。小兄弟既知病源，必能疗治。小妾病愈之后，我必当重重酬谢。”转头对七个医生喝道：“甚么风寒中邪，阳虚阴亏，都是胡说八道！她足趾上的齿痕，你们七只大饭桶怎地瞧不出来？”虽是骂人，语调却是喜气洋洋。 张无忌道：“夫人此病本甚奇特，他们不知病源，那也难怪，都放了他们回去罢。” 何太冲笑道：“很好，很好！小兄弟大驾光临，再留这些庸医在此，不是惹人厌么？春儿，每人送一百两银子，叫他们各自回去。” 那七个庸医死里逃生，无不大喜过望，急急离去，生怕张无忌的医法不灵，何太冲又把这个“小庸医”跟自己锁在一起，要八名大小“庸医”齐为爱妾殉葬。 张无忌道：“请叫仆妇搬开夫人卧床，床底有个小洞，便是金银血蛇出入的洞穴。”何太冲不等仆妇动手，右手抓起一只床脚，单手便连人带床一齐提开，果见床底有个小洞，不禁又喜又怒，叫道：“快取硫磺烟火来，薰出毒蛇，斩它个千刀万剑！” 张无忌摇手道：“使不得，使不得！夫人所中的蛇毒，全仗这两条毒蛇医治，你杀了毒蛇，夫人的病便治不来了。”何太冲道：“原来如此。中间的原委，倒要请教。”这“请教”两字，自他业师逝世，今日是第一次再出他口。 张无忌指着窗外的花圃道：“何先生，尊夫人的疾病，全由花圃中那八株'灵脂兰'而起。”何太冲道：“这叫做'灵脂兰'么？我也不知其名，有一位朋友知我性爱花草，从西域带来了这八盆兰花送我。这花开放时有檀香之气，花朵的颜色又极娇艳，想不到竟是祸胎。”张无忌道：“据书上所载，这'灵脂兰'其茎如球，颜色火红，球茎中含有剧毒。咱们去掘起来瞧瞧，不知是也不是。” 这时众弟子均已得知有个小大夫在治五师母的怪病。男弟子不便进房，詹春等六个女弟子都在旁边。听得张无忌这般话，便有两个女弟子拿了铁铲，将一株灵脂兰掘了起来，果见上下的球茎色赤如火。两名女弟子听说茎中含有剧毒，哪敢用手去碰？ 张无忌道：“请各位将八枚球茎都掘出来，放在土钵之中，加入鸡蛋八枚，鸡血一碗，捣烂成糊，捣药时务请小心，不可溅上肌肤。”詹春答应了，自和两名师妹同去办理。张无忌又要了两根尺许长短的竹筒，一枝竹棒，放在一旁。 过不多时，灵脂兰的球茎已捣烂成糊。张无忌将药糊倒在地下，围成一个圆圈，却空出一个两寸来长的缺口，说道：“待会见到异状，各位千万不可出声，以免毒蛇受到惊吓，逃得无影无踪。各位去取些甘草、棉花，塞住鼻孔。”众人依言而为。张无忌也塞住了鼻孔，然后取出火种，将灵脂兰的叶子放在蛇洞前烧了起来。 不到一盏茶时分，只见小洞中探出一个小小蛇头，蛇身血红，头顶却有个金色肉冠。那蛇缓缓爬出，竟是生有四足，身长约莫八寸；跟着洞中又爬出一蛇，身子略短，形相一般，但头顶肉冠则作银色。 何太冲等见了这两条怪蛇，都是屏息不敢作声。这种异相毒蛇必有剧毒，自不必说，众人武功高强，倒也不惧，但若将之惊走了，只怕夫人的恶疾难治。 只见两条怪蛇伸出蛇舌，互舐肩背，十分亲热，相偎相依，慢慢爬进了灵脂兰药糊围成的圆圈之中。张无忌忙将一根竹筒放在圆圈的缺口外，提起竹棒，轻轻在银冠血蛇的尾上一拨。那蛇行动快如电闪，众人只见银光一闪，那蛇已钻入竹筒。金冠血蛇跟着也要钻入，但竹筒甚小，只容得一蛇，金冠血蛇无法再进，只急得胡胡而叫。张无忌用竹棒将另一根竹筒拨到金冠血蛇身前，那蛇便也钻了进去。张无忌忙取过木塞，塞住了竹筒口子。
