After applying the Persian ointment, Yin Li still had a persistent fever and babbled non-stop.She was at sea for a few days, and she caught wind and cold during her illness. The wound medicine could only heal Jinchuang's trauma, but it couldn't cure the wind evil in her body.Zhang Wuji was anxious, on the third day he saw a small island in the East Sea, and ordered the helmsman to sail to the island. When everyone came to De Island, their spirits were lifted.The island is only a few miles in radius, and it is covered with shrubs and flowers.Zhang Wuji asked Zhou Zhiruo to take care of Yin Li and Zhao Min, and distributed flowers and brushed grass along the way in search of herbs.But the flowers and plants on the island are very different from those in the middle land, and most of them don't know them. Zhang Wuji searched farther and farther until it was dark, but he still only found one herb, so he had to go back to the original place, mash that herbal medicine, and feed it to Yin Li.

The six people sat around the fire and used up their food and drink.The fragrance of flowers floats all around, and the vegetation is fresh. Compared with the stuffy and cramped air in the cabin, it is a different scene.Yin Li's spirits also improved, and he said: "Brother A Niu, let's sleep here tonight and not go back to the boat." As soon as this discussion came out, everyone praised it.Seeing that the mountains on the island are warm and the water is clear, and there are no ferocious animals, everyone can sleep peacefully. After waking up the next morning, Zhang Wuji stood up, only took a step, staggered, and nearly fell down. He felt that his feet were weak and weak, which had never happened before. He rubbed his eyes and saw the Persian ship The boat is no longer where it was.He was even more frightened, and ran to the beach to look around, but there was no sign of the boat.

This surprise was really no small matter, and he shouted: "Father, are you all right?" But he didn't hear Xie Xun's answer, and rushed to the place where Xie Xun was sleeping, only to see that he was sleeping soundly, and let go of more than half of it first. Heart. Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and Yin Li slept behind a big rock in the distance yesterday.When he ran over to look, he saw Zhou Zhiruo and Yin Li lying opposite each other, but Zhao Min was no longer there.At a glance, Yin Li's face was covered with blood, and he leaned over to inspect her face, and saw that her face was scratched by a sharp knife with a dozen scars, and she was already unconscious, so she quickly stretched out her hand to feel her pulse, but luckily it was still beating slightly.When I looked at Zhou Zhiruo again, I saw that a large piece of her hair had been shaved off, and a piece of her left ear had been shaved off. The blood hadn't clotted, but she was smiling and dreaming sweet dreams. Under the morning sun, she looked like a begonia in spring. Sleep, beautiful and infinite.

In his heart, he was just complaining, and shouted: "Miss Zhou, wake up! Miss Zhou, wake up!" Zhou Zhiruo just didn't wake up.Zhang Wuji reached out to shake her shoulder, Zhou Zhiruo yawned, turned her head to the side and was still asleep.Zhang Wuji knew that she must have been drugged, so many strange things happened last night, he didn't realize it, and now his body is weak, so he must have been poisoned. Zhou Zhiruo didn't wake up for a while, but immediately ran to Xie Xun's side and shouted: "Father, father!" Xie Xun sat up in a daze, and said, "What's the matter?" Zhang Wuji said: "Oops! We got hit Treacherous plot." Briefly describe the sailing of the Persian ship and the injuries of Yin Li and Zhou Zhiruo.Xie Xun asked in surprise, "Where is Miss Zhao?"

Zhang Wuji said dejectedly: "I don't see her." Taking a deep breath, breathing a little, he felt that his limbs were slack and he couldn't use his strength, so he blurted out: "Father, we gave the 'Shixiangruanjinsan' to someone. poison." The masters from the six factions were trapped by Zhao Min with "Ten Fragrance Ruanjin Powder" and they were taken captive to the Wan'an Temple in Dadu. Xie Xun had already heard Zhang Wuji say that when he stood up, his feet were vacant and powerless. Gathering his mind, he asked, "The Dragon Slaying Saber and Yitian Sword, were she also taken away?"

Zhang Wuji looked around and saw that the swords and swords were gone, he was so annoyed that he almost cried out, he didn't expect Zhao Min would take advantage of the great danger he was in to come and throw trouble again, and resorted to such treacherous tricks. He stayed there for a while, thinking about Yin Li's injury, hurriedly ran to Yin Zhou's side, pushed Zhou Zhiruo, but she was still asleep, thinking: "I have the deepest internal energy, so I woke up first, followed by foster father. Miss Zhou's internal strength is far behind the two of us, and it seems that it will be difficult to wake up for a while." She tore off a piece of her skirt and wiped off the blood on Yin Li's face, only to see that her face was full of thin scars, Obviously it was drawn with Yitian sword.Since Yin Li was injured by Zishan Dragon King Jinhua Granny, he bled profusely. The thousand spider venom accumulated in his body dispersed with the blood, and the swelling on his face had receded by more than half. Looking back a bit, now that there are more than a dozen sword wounds on his face, it has become hideous and terrifying again.

Zhang Wuji was heartbroken and angry at the same time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Min, Zhao Min, but if you fall into my hands, if Zhang Wuji spares you again, you will be in vain." Concentrated, he hurried to the side of the mountain to pick Some hemostatic herbs were chewed and applied to Yin Li's face, and then applied to Zhou Zhiruo's scalp and ears. Zhou Zhiruo yawned, opened her eyes, and suddenly saw him groping her head with her hand, flushed with shame, stretched out her hand to push his arm away, and said angrily, "You...what's the matter with you..." Without saying a word After that, he thought he felt pain in his ear, so he stretched out his hand to touch it, and exclaimed "Ah", he jumped up and asked, "Why?" Suddenly his knees gave way, and he threw himself into Zhang Wuji's arms.

Zhang Wuji stretched out his hand to support him, and comforted him: "Miss Zhou, don't be afraid." Zhou Zhiruo saw the terrifying look on Yin Li's face, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand to stroke her own face, and said in surprise, "I... am I also like this?" Zhang Wuji said: "No! You only suffered some minor injuries." Zhou Zhiruo said: "Did those Persian villains do it? I... I don't know how?" Zhang Wuji sighed, and said faintly: " I'm afraid... I'm afraid Miss Zhao did it. She was poisoned in the food last night."

Zhou Zhiruo stayed for a long time, touched one ear, and cried out. Zhang Wuji comforted him, "Fortunately, your injury is not serious. Your ear was injured a little. You put your hair down to cover it, so no one else can see it." Zhou Zhiruo said: " What about the hair? I have no hair either." Zhang Wuji said, "There is a little scalp missing on the top, and the hair on both sides can be brought together to cover it..." Zhou Zhiruo said angrily, "Why should I bring the two sides together? Cover up? At this time, you are still trying your best to protect your Miss Zhao."

Zhang Wuji touched an inexplicable nail, and said embarrassingly: "I won't protect her! She is so cruel and merciless, she hurt Miss Yin like me... I won't spare her." Seeing the look on Yin Li's face , couldn't help but shed tears in a daze. Being in this situation, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but feel at a loss, he sat down and practiced his skills, and realized that the poisoning was really serious.Originally, "Ten Fragrant Ruanjin Powder" was not Zhao Min's unique antidote and could not be digested, but at this time, he could only use his inner strength to fight against the severe poison test. Immediately he mobilized his inner breath, slowly moved the toxin scattered in the limbs into the field, and forcibly Condensed, and then forced out of the body bit by bit.After practicing the exercises for more than an hour, I realized that it was effective, and I felt a little relieved, but this method is based on the Nine Suns Divine Art, so I can't teach Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo to follow it. I can only help Xie Zhou and others to remove the poison after I have completely detoxified.

This technique is simple to say, but very complicated to do. On the seventh day, he only drove out 30% of the toxins in his body.Fortunately, this toxin only makes people lose their internal strength, but it is harmless to the body. Zhou Zhiruo was very annoyed for the first few days, but she gradually got used to it, and accompanied Xie Xun to fish and shoot birds, boil water and cook food.She lives alone in a cave on the east of the island at night, far away from Zhang Wuji and others. Zhang Wuji felt ashamed secretly, thinking that Zhao Min's misfortune was all caused by himself.This Miss Zhao is obviously the princess of Mongolia and the mortal enemy of the Ming Cult. I don't know how many masters in the martial arts world have fallen into her hands, but I didn't take precautions against her, I am really stupid.Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo had no complaints against him, but the more they didn't say a word, the sadder he felt. Sometimes when he saw Zhou Zhiruo's eyes, he could vaguely understand that she was saying: "You are for Zhao Min's beauty." Bewildered, it caused such a catastrophe."
But Yin Li's injury became more and more serious.This small island is located in the South China Sea, and most of the vegetation is not recorded in Hu Qingniu's medical classics. He has superb medical skills and knows that Yin Li's injury can be cured, but there is no medicine at hand.The trees on Piansheng Island are all short and small, and they can only be used as firewood, otherwise he would have already tied up a raft and ventured into the interior.If he doesn't understand medical skills, he is just anxious, but at this moment, it is like ten thousand sharp knives cutting out his heart day and night.That night, he chewed some antipyretic herbal medicine and fed it to Yinli. Seeing that she could hardly swallow, his heart ached, and tears dripped down her face one by one. Yin Li suddenly opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother A Niu, don't be sad. I'm going to the underworld to meet that cruel and short-lived kid Zhang Wuji. I want to tell him that there is a brother A Niu in this world." , Treating me like this is a thousand times better than you Zhang Wuji." Zhang Wuji's throat choked up, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, whether to reveal to her that he was really Zhang Wuji. Yin Li took his hand and said, "Brother A Niu, I never promised to marry you. Do you hate me? I guess you lied to me by talking about it to please me. I am ugly and have a weird temper. , why do you want me?" Zhang Wuji said: "No! I didn't lie to you. You are a really good girl with deep affection. If I can really marry you, it will be the luck of my life. When you are well, we will take care of everything Let's get married, okay?" Yin Li stretched out his hand, stroked his cheek lightly, shook his head and said, "Brother A Niu, I can't marry you. My heart has long been promised to that vicious and cruel Zhang Wuji...Brother A Niu, I I'm a little scared, will I meet him in the underworld? Will he still be so tyrannical to me?" Zhang Wuji saw that she was speaking clearly, her cheeks were flushed, he was secretly startled: "This is a reflection of the light, is she going to die today?" He was in a daze for a while, he didn't hear her words.Yin Li grabbed his wrist and asked again. Zhang Wuji said softly: "He will always treat you very well, like your sweetheart." Yin Li said: "Can you treat me half as well?" Zhang Wuji said: "God is above, Zhang Wuji loves you sincerely You love you, he has long regretted treating you so cruelly when he was a child. He...his heart for you is the same as mine, there is no difference at all. " Yin Li sighed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Then...then I can rest assured..." Gradually let go of his hand, closed his eyes, and finally stopped breathing. Zhang Wuji held her corpse in his arms, thinking that she would not know that she was Zhang Wuji until she died.These days, she has been in a daze, unable to tell her the truth.When she was conscious for a moment before she died, it was too late to say anything.In fact, at this point, it makes no difference whether to say it or not.His heart ached so badly that he couldn't cry out, thinking: "If Zhao Min didn't hurt her cheek again, her injury might not be hopeless. If Zhao Min didn't abandon us on this deserted island, we only need to catch up in a few days. Back to the Central Plains, I will find a way to save her life." He blurted out bitterly: "Zhao Min, you are so heart-like as a snake and a scorpion, one day you will fall into my hands, Zhang Wuji will never spare your life." Suddenly, a cold voice said from behind: "When you see her beautiful face, you won't be able to do anything." Turning around, I saw Zhou Zhiruo standing in the wind, her face full of disdain. color.He was sad and ashamed at the same time, and said: "I swear to my cousin's body, if I don't kill the demon girl, Zhang Wuji will stand shameless between heaven and earth." Zhou Zhiruo said: "That's a good man with ambition." She took a few steps forward, caressed Yin Li's body and cried bitterly. Hearing the crying, Xie Xun came looking for the sound, and he couldn't help being sad when he learned that Yin Li had died. Zhang Wuji went to the Yin of the hill to dig the tomb. The floating mud on the island was very shallow, and when he dug two feet, he encountered hard granite. He didn't have a shovel at hand, so he had to put Yin Li's body into the shallow hole, and when he was about to remove the soil Seeing the swelling and bloodstains on her face, I thought: "The gravel and mud are piled on her face, it will hurt her." I broke some branches and put them on her body, and then gently placed the stones on her body. It seemed that she was still conscious after death, and she was afraid that she would be hurt by the stone.He broke off a section of the trunk, peeled off the bark, and carved on the trunk with Yin Li's dagger: "The Tomb of Yin Li's Beloved Wife, Spider Son", and engraved on the bottom: "Zhang Wuji stands here."Everything stopped, and then fell to the ground and cried. Zhou Zhiruo persuaded: "Miss Yin has a deep affection for you, and you treat her with the utmost benevolence. As long as you live up to what you said today and kill Zhao Min to avenge her, the girls of the Yin family will be smiling under the nine springs."
Zhang Wuji felt sad, the toxin that had been condensed in his dantian dispersed again, it took a few more days to gradually condense, and it took more than ten days to drive it out of the body. The climate of the small island is hot, and there are many kinds of wild fruits, which can be picked easily to satisfy the hunger, and the life is not difficult.Zhou Zhiruo knew that Zhang Wuji was saddened by Yin Li's death, hated Zhao Min's deceit, and felt sorry for Xiao Zhao's departure, and treated him with tenderness and consideration. After Zhang Wuji used his magical skills to drive away the poison in Xie Xun's body, he was supposed to detoxify Zhou Zhiruo, but he thought that the method of detoxification required sticking one palm on the opponent's lower back and one palm on the navel and lower abdomen. Young men and women, how could this be the case? skin to skin?But if it wasn't for this kind of luck, and she couldn't inject her own nine yang zhenqi into her body, for several days, she hesitated and couldn't make a decision. That night, Xie Xun suddenly said: "Wuji, how long do you want to live on this island?" Zhang Wuji was startled, and said: "It's hard to say, I just hope that a ship will pass by and rescue us back to China. Soil." Xie Xun said: "For more than a month, have you ever seen the shadow of a ship's sail?" Zhang Wuji said: "No." Xie Xun said: "Yes! Maybe there will be a ship tomorrow, but Maybe there will be no ships passing by in another hundred years." Zhang Wuji sighed: "This deserted island hangs alone in the sea, and it is not passed by sea ships. Whether we can return to Middle Earth is very slim." Xie Xun said: "Well, the antidote is not easy to find. The toxin of Shixiang Ruanjin Powder stays in the body, besides the weakness of the limbs, is there any other harm?" Zhang Wuji said: "It's not long, and it's not that big. Harmful, but this kind of severe poison invades the muscles and bones, and after a long time, the internal organs will inevitably be damaged." Xie Xun said: "Yes. Then why don't you try to detoxify Miss Zhou as soon as possible? You said that Miss Zhou and you have known each other since childhood, and she once benefited you when you were suffering from the cold poison in your body. This kind of gentleness and virtue Miss Zhou, where can I ask for it? Do you think she is not beautiful?" Zhang Wuji said: "No, no, if Miss Zhou is not beautiful, how can there be beauty in the world?" Xie Xun said: "Then I will decide for you, Marry her as a wife. There is no need to worry about this man and woman giving and accepting rotten gifts." Zhou Zhiruo was listening to the two of them talking, when she suddenly heard that she was coming, she blushed with shame, stood up and left. Xie Xun jumped up, opened his hands, stopped in front of her, smiled and said: "Don't go, don't go! I'm a matchmaker for today." Zhou Zhiruo said angrily, "Thank you, old man, you are disrespectful! We just hope to find a way to return to the Middle Earth, why are we talking about these nonsense at this moment?" Xie Xun laughed loudly, and said: "It's a lifelong event for a man and a woman to get along well. Why don't you be nonsense? Wuji, your parents also worshiped the sky and got married on a deserted island. If they didn't get rid of these secular etiquettes back then, how could there be someone like you in the world?" Kid? What's more, you have a adoptive father marrying you today. Don't you like Miss Zhou? Don't you want to get rid of the poison in her body?" Zhou Zhiruo covered her face and just wanted to leave. Xie Xun grabbed her sleeve and said with a smile, "Where are you going? Are we not going to see each other tomorrow? Ah, I see, you don't want to call me, an old blind man, your father-in-law? "Zhou Zhiruo said: "No, no, no. Mr. Xie is a hero in the world..." Xie Xun said: "Then you agreed?" Zhou Zhiruo just said: "No, no!" Xie Xun said: "You dislike me Is Yi'er too incompetent?" Zhou Zhiruo paused, and then said: "Young master Zhang is outstanding in martial arts and is famous all over the world. What more can I ask for if I have a son-in-law like this? It's just...just..." Xie Xun said, "Why?" Zhou Zhiruo slightly licked Zhang Wuji With a glance, he said, "He...he really likes Miss Zhao in his heart, I know it." Xie Xun gritted his teeth and said: "This little bastard Zhao Min has caused us such misery, how can Wuji still be obsessed with his obsession? Wuji, tell it yourself." Zhang Wuji was at a loss. Thinking of Zhao Min's smiling words and all kinds of touching things, he felt that if he could marry Zhao Min as his wife and be with her forever, that would be the bliss of his life. But in a flash, he immediately remembered Yin Li's face. There were bloody sword wounds in all directions, and he hurriedly said: "Miss Zhao is my great enemy, I will kill her to avenge my cousin." Xie Xun said: "Ah, Miss Zhou, why are you suspicious?" Zhou Zhiruo said in a low voice, "I'm not at ease. Unless...unless you want him...to make an oath. Otherwise, I would rather be poisoned and die. I don't want him to help me detoxify." Xie Xun said: "Wuji, make an oath!" Zhang Wuji knelt down on his knees and said, "If I, Zhang Wuji, forget my cousin's blood feud, heaven and earth will not tolerate it." Zhou Zhiruo said: "I want you to explain clearly, how do you treat that Miss Zhao?" Xie Xun said: "Wuji, you can make it clearer. What's not allowed in heaven and earth' is too vague." Zhang Wuji said loudly: "The demon girl Zhao Min contributed to her Tartar royal family. She suffered from my common people, hurt my righteous warriors, and then stole my adoptive father's precious sword and killed my cousin Yin Li. As long as Zhang Wuji lives, I dare not forget this great vendetta." , if there is any violation, the sky will hate it, and the earth will hate it." Zhou Zhiruo smiled sweetly, and said, "I'm afraid that at that time, you will be merciful again." Xie Xun said: "I said, it's better to hit the sun than to pick the sun. We heroes in the world don't care about the red tape of mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Why don't you two come to the church today and get married. The ten fragrant soft tendons will be driven out a day earlier." day." Zhang Wuji said: "No! Yifu, Zhiruo, listen to me. Miss Yin treats me with deep affection. She has considered me as her husband since she was a child, and I have already considered her as my wife in my heart. Although there is no marriage, But there is the meaning of husband and wife. Her bones are not cold, how can I bear to have a new love right away?" Xie Xun pondered: "That's true, what do you say?" Zhang Wuji said: "In my opinion, I will make a marriage contract with Miss Zhou today to help her heal her wounds and detoxify her. That's convenient. Much more. If we are lucky enough to go back to Middle Earth, we will have the best of both worlds when the boy kills Zhao Min and takes back the dragon-slaying sword and hands it back to his adoptive father. Beauty. What if we can't go back to China in ten or eight years?" Zhang Wuji said, "After three years, no matter whether we can leave this island or not, we will ask the adoptive father to preside over the marriage of the child." Xie Xun nodded, and asked Zhou Zhiruo, "Miss Zhou, what do you think?" Zhou Zhiruo lowered her head and did not answer, and after a while, she said, "I am a lonely girl, what can I do? Everything is up to the old man. host." Xie Xun laughed and said: "Very good, very good. The three of us have made an agreement. You two are unmarried couples, so there is no need to have any scruples. Wuji, you can detoxify my daughter-in-law." He said with great strides Go behind the mountain.
Zhang Wuji said: "Zhiruo, can you forgive my difficulties?" Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "It's just because I'm ugly that you push back. If it were Miss Zhao, I'm afraid you would..." At this point, I turned my head away, embarrassed to say it again. Zhang Wuji's heart was pounding, and he thought to himself: "When everyone was floating in the boat together, I had wishful thinking to marry Simei together. In fact, the real love in my heart is that evil and cunning little demon girl who does all kinds of evil. I call him a hero in vain. A hero, but he has no distinction between good and evil in his heart, and he is obsessed with beauty." Zhou Zhiruo turned her head and saw him standing up in a daze in a daze, and wanted to walk away.Zhang Wuji stretched out his hand to hold her hand and pulled it.Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiruo's skills had not recovered, her feet were weak, she swayed and fell into his arms, unable to struggle, she said angrily, "I'm destined to be bullied by you for the rest of my life." Zhang Wuji saw her frown and anger, charming and charming, hugged her delicate body, and said in a low voice: "Zhiruo, we met each other in Hanshui when we were young, and unexpectedly we are here today. On the top of the light, I fight Kunlun alone." When you were the four elders of the Huashan and Huashan sects, you pointed out the key points and saved my life. At that time, I was only grateful for your concern, but I didn't dare to think otherwise." Zhou Zhiruo leaned in his arms and said: "That day I assassinated you. Don't you hate me with your sword?" Zhang Wuji said: "If you didn't stab your heart, I knew you had secret affection for me." Zhou Zhiruo snorted, her cheeks flushed, and said: "I knew it was so , That day I stabbed your heart with a sword, how clean it is, and I will save you from being bullied and angry in the endless years to come." Zhang Wuji hugged her arms tightly, and said: "From now on, I will only I love you and love you so much. I am a husband and wife, how can I be angry with you?" Zhou Zhiruo turned sideways, looked at his face, and said, "If I did something wrong and offended you, would you beat me, scold me, or kill me?" The distance between Zhang Wuji and her face was only a few inches, and he felt that she was blowing like blue, so he couldn't help but kissed her lightly on the left cheek, and said: "A gentle, gentle, dignified and virtuous wife like you, how can you do anything wrong?" Something?" Zhou Zhiruo lightly stroked the back of his neck and said, "Even a sage sometimes does wrong things. I have no parents to guide me since I was a child, so I can't guarantee that I won't be fooled for a while." Zhang Wuji said, "If you really did something wrong, I will advise you well." Zhou Zhiruo said: "You will never change your mind towards me? Will you never kill me?" Zhang Wuji kissed her lightly on the forehead again, and said softly, "Don't think about it. How could this matter?" Zhou Zhiruo tremblingly said: "I want you to promise me with your own words." Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Okay! I will never change my mind for you, and I will never kill you." Zhou Zhiruo stared into his eyes, and said: "I don't allow you to laugh and laugh, I want you to speak seriously." Zhang Wuji smiled and said: "I don't know what you are thinking in your little head." Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and her cousin are all merciful, which makes her feel uncomfortable. But from now on, how can there be more such things?" So he put away his smile, and Zhuang Yan said: "Zhiruo, you are my beloved wife .I was half-hearted in the past, and I only hoped that you would not blame the past. I will never change my mind to you from now on. Even if you did something wrong, I would not even be willing to blame you for something serious." Zhou Zhiruo said: "Brother Wuji, you are a man, you must remember what you told me tonight." Pointing to the rising moon, she said: "The moon in the sky is the witness of both of us." Zhang Wuji said: "Yes, you are right, the bright moon in the sky is our witness." He still held Zhou Zhiruo in his arms, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said: "Zhiruo, I have been deceived by many, many people in my life. I can’t remember. Only when I was with my father, mother, and adoptive father on Binghuo Island, there was no treacherous trick in the world. The first time I returned to the Central Plains, I met a beggar playing a snake. He lied to me I probed into the cloth bag to have a look, but unexpectedly he put the cloth bag on my head and caught me. How could I have expected that when we came to this small island with life and death, and shared weal and woe, Miss Zhao would be there in the first place? The food was poisoned overnight?" Zhou Zhiruo smiled wryly and said, "You will never die until you reach the Yellow River, and it will be too late to regret it when you reach the Yellow River." Zhang Wuji's heart was suddenly filled with a sense of happiness, and he said, "Zhiruo, you are truly my family forever and ever. You have always treated me very well. If we can return to the Central Plains in the future, you will help me guard against treacherous villains. Yes Without you, a virtuous wife, I would be much less fooled." Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and said: "I am the most useless woman, cowardly and incompetent, and I am born stupid. Don't say that I am far from the extremely intelligent Miss Zhao, it is Xiao Zhao. How can I match her profound scheming?" What if? Your Miss Zhou is an honest and stupid girl, don't you know it until today?" Zhang Wuji said: "Only a loyal and virtuous girl like you would not lie to me." Zhou Zhiruo turned around, put her face in his arms, and said softly: "Brother Wuji, I am very happy to be married to you, I just hope you don't look down on me because I am stupid and useless, Bully me. I...I will do my best to serve you well."
The next day Zhang Wuji used the Nine Suns Divine Art to help Zhou Zhiruo get rid of the poison. At first, it was out of unexpected convenience, because she didn't eat much and the poisoning was not as deep as he and Xie Xun.But on the seventh day, she suddenly felt a chilly resistance in her body, fighting against the Jiuyang Zhenqi he sent over. Although Zhou Zhiruo tried his best to restrain it, it was still difficult to guide the Jiuyang Zhenqi into her body. Surprised, Zhang Wuji asked his adoptive father for advice.Xie Xun pondered for a while, then said: "I can't explain the truth, it's probably because her masters of the Emei Sect were all women, and the internal strength she learned is more feminine." Zhang Wuji nodded in agreement.Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo's internal strength was far from his, so he activated his magical power to suppress the yin energy in her body, but it took much more effort than exorcising Xie Xun's poison. Zhang Wuji faintly felt that although the yin energy in her body was still weak at the moment, her achievements in the future would indeed be of no small importance, and praised: "Zhiruo, Master Miejue is really an outstanding person of a generation. The inner strength she passed on to you is so profound that at this moment I have already figured it out. If you work hard like this, you may be able to keep pace with my Nine Suns Divine Art in the future, and each is good at winning." Zhou Zhiruo said: "You lied to me! How can the Emei School martial arts compare with Zhang Dajiao's Nine Suns Divine Art, Qiankun Compared with the big teleportation method?" Zhang Wuji said: "Your nature is simple and honest. Although you don't learn many martial arts moves, the foundation of your inner strength has been well established. My grand master said that after studying martial arts, the degree of achievement is often related to each person's aptitude, and It is not necessarily that those who are smart and enlightened will be able to learn the highest level. It is said that the father of Guo Nvxia, the founder of your school, Guo Jing Daxia, is very blunt in aptitude, but his martial arts are astonishing in ancient and modern times. Grand Master said that he himself may not have yet. It can reach the strength of Guo Daxia back then. Your Emei Sect's internal energy method seems to be higher than that of Wudang Sect. In my opinion, your future achievements will surpass those of respecting your master and exterminating your master." Zhou Zhiruo glanced at him, and said coquettishly: "If you want to please me, you don't need to say that I am good at martial arts. As long as I can learn 10% or 20% of what my master can do, I will be satisfied. When will you move your Nine Suns Divine Art, Qiankun Kung Fu taught me a thing or two, and I am very grateful to you." Zhang Wuji pondered and did not answer.Zhou Zhiruo said: "Are you saying that I am not worthy to be the apprentice of Master Zhang?" Zhang Wuji said: "No! I realize that your inner strength is completely different from what I have learned. It is the opposite way. If you learn my martial arts, then It’s the most dangerous thing in the world.” Zhou Zhiruo said: "If you don't want to teach, it's fine. At most, you can't learn martial arts, so what's the danger?" Zhang Wuji said seriously: "No, no! My Nine Suns Divine Art is a purely masculine inner strength. What you are doing now The Emei sect's internal skills you practice are purely feminine. If you practice my kung fu again, the yin and yang will be integrated into one body, unless you are a martial arts genius like my Grand Master, maybe you can make it the combination of water and fire, and the combination of hardness and softness. Tune, otherwise, if you miss one step, it will be a catastrophe of madness. Well, when your inner strength is fully developed in the future, I can learn my mentality of moving the world." Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said: "I'm telling you Let’s play. I’ll be with you all the time from now on. What’s the difference between your martial arts and mine? I’m born lazy, so it must be difficult for you to practice your Nine Suns Divine Art. You just force me to practice it. I'm also afraid of difficulties." Hearing what she said, Zhang Wuji felt very sweet in his heart.
Such lingering affection, I don't feel the passage of time.A few months later, Zhou Zhiruo said that she felt that her internal energy had fully recovered, and her body was no different. Presumably, the poison had been driven away. On this day, several peach blossoms in the east of the island were in full bloom, so Zhang Wuji broke off a few peach blossoms and put them in front of Yin Li's tomb.I saw the wooden strip engraved with "The Tomb of the Beloved Wife, Spider Er Yinli" lying on the ground, and it was knocked down by some wild beast, so I picked it up and inserted it again.Thinking of my cousin's hard life, I'm afraid I haven't even enjoyed a single day of blessing. Just as he was feeling sad, he suddenly heard the loud noises of gulls and birds in the sea. When he raised his head, he saw a sailboat approaching in the distance. Come on, a ship is coming!" Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo rushed to his side one after another when they heard the cry.Zhou Zhiruo tremblingly said: "How come there are ships coming to this deserted island?" Zhang Wuji said: "It's really strange, is it a pirate ship?" In less than half an hour, the sailboat had anchored outside the island, and a small boat rowed towards the island.Zhang Wuji and the other three went to the beach.Seeing that the sailors in the small boat were all wearing Mongolian navy uniforms, Zhang Wuji's heart moved: "Could it be that Miss Zhao found out with her conscience and came back to the island again?" He glanced at Zhou Zhiruo obliquely, and saw that her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her chest heaved, which was obviously true. With great concern. After a while, the small boat arrived, and five sailors walked onto the beach. The leading naval officer bowed to Zhang Wuji and said, "This is Mr. Zhang Wuji?" Zhang Wuji said, "Exactly. Who is the officer?" The man listened When Zhang Wuji confessed, he looked very pleased, and said: "The villain's name is Basutai. I found you today. I'm so lucky. The villain was ordered to come here to welcome Mr. Zhang and Daxia Xie back to Zhongtu." He just said Talk about Zhang and Xie, but don't mention Zhou Zhiruo's name.Zhang Wuji said: "Your Majesty came here to work hard, but I don't know who sent him?" Basutai said: "The villain is under the command of the admiral of the Dahua Chilu Navy stationed in Fujian. He was ordered by General Burdus to come here." Greetings. General Bordus sent a total of eight seagoing ships to search for the young master and the hero Xie in the waters of the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong. Unexpectedly, the villain made the first contribution." The implication is that his boss made a promise, Whoever can find Zhang Wuji will be rewarded. Zhang Wuji heard that he did not know the names of those Mongolian generals, and guessed that those generals were also ordered by Zhao Min, and asked: "Do you know why your superior sent an officer to pick me up?" Basutai said: "Bordu General Si ordered that Mr. Zhang is a great nobleman and a hero of the age, and he ordered the villain to serve him attentively after he found him. As for why he greeted you, the villain's position is low and the general has not informed him." Zhou Zhiruo interjected and asked, "Is it the intention of Princess Shaomin?" Basutai was stunned, and said, "Princess Shaomin? The villain is not lucky to have met." Zhou Zhiruo said coldly: "What is the blessing? Basutai said: "Princess Shaomin is the most beautiful woman in Mongolia, no, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, talented in both civil and military affairs, and is the daughter of Lord Ruyang. How can a villain be so lucky to see the golden face of the princess ?" Zhou Zhiruo snorted and stopped talking. Zhang Wuji said to Xie Xun: "Father, let's get on the boat." Xie Xun said: "Let's go to the cave over there and get our belongings, and then we can get on the boat. Sir, please wait here." "Let the villains and sailors carry the luggage for the three of you." Xie Xun said with a smile, "What luggage do we have? We dare not work." He took Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo's hands, walked behind the mountain, and said, "Zhao Min suddenly Sending a boat to pick us up, there must be a conspiracy, how do you think we should deal with it?" Zhang Wuji said: "Father, do you miss Zhao... do you miss Zhao Min... will she be on the boat?" Xie Xun said: "If this little demon girl is on the boat, it will be easy to handle. We just need to pay attention to food and drink, so as not to be confused again Follow her way." Zhang Wuji said: "That's right, let's take the salted fish and dried fruits stored here on board the boat, and bring fresh water, and never eat or drink anything on the boat." Xie Xun said: "I thought Zhao Min was definitely not on the boat. She wanted to learn from the old wisdom of those Persians, and tricked us into boarding the boat. When we were in the middle of the sea, a Mongolian navy ship appeared and fired at our boat. Boom." Zhang Wuji felt sore in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "She...she has such vicious intentions? She exiled us on this small island, let us fend for ourselves, and never return to the middle land, that's it. The three of us again I'm sorry for her nothing." Xie Xun sneered and said, "You released all the masters of the six major sects she imprisoned in Wan'an Temple. How can she not hold grudges? Besides, the leader of the Ming sect has disappeared, and everyone in the sect is going to search for it on a large scale. Find this deserted island. Only if we are buried in the bottom of the sea, that is cutting grass and roots." Zhang Wuji said: "Bombard the ship? Didn't even the Mongolian officers and soldiers such as Basutai lose their lives in vain?" Xie Xun laughed, and then sighed: "Boy Wuji, how can these people who are in charge of the military and the country cherish their lives?" Human life? If you are as kind-hearted as you, can the Mongols sweep across the world and sweep up hundreds of countries? Since ancient times, which hero who has made great achievements has not acted decisively and killed if he wanted to? Not to mention mere officers and soldiers, they are their own parents and children , I don’t even care about it.” Zhang Wuji was stunned for a while, then said dejectedly: "Father Yi is right." He always knew that the Mongols were cruel and tyrannical to the enemy, but he wanted to treat his subordinates with care. Now that he heard Xie Xun's words, he couldn't help feeling cold, consciously This time, he can return to the Central Plains and lead the heroes of the Central Plains to drive out the Tartars, but when it comes to governing the country and bringing about peace, it is definitely beyond his ability. Zhou Zhiruo said: "Father, what do you think we should do?" Xie Xun said: "What trick does my daughter-in-law have?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "Then let's not get on this boat and tell the Mongolian officer that we will live here. I don’t want to go back to the Central Plains.” Xie Xun said with a smile: “It’s a silly girl’s idea. If we don’t board the ship, the enemy will definitely let us go. Let’s kill all the officers and soldiers in this ship.派十艘八艘来么?何况中原有多少大事,要无忌回去担当,怎能让他老死于这荒岛之上?”周芷若俊脸通红,低声道:“还是义父出个主意罢,我们只听义父吩咐便是。” 谢逊略一沉吟,道:“须得如此如此。”张无忌和周芷若一听,齐称妙计。 张无忌便到殷离墓前祷祝一番,洒泪而别,这才上了大船。周芷若在岛上日长无聊,曾雕刻了不少小木马、小木人儿,这时包了一个大包,负在背上。张无忌在舱内舱外巡查一过,果然并无赵敏在内,船上也无碍眼人物,官兵、水手看模样均非身有武功之人。 座船拔锚扬帆之后,只驶出数十丈,张无忌反手一搭,已抓住拔速台右腕,另一手抽出他腰间佩刀,架在他后颈,喝道:“你听我的号令,命梢公向东行驶!”拔速台大吃一惊,颤声道:“张公……公子,小……小人没敢得罪你啊。”张无忌道:“你听我吩咐行事。稍有违抗,我便砍下你的脑袋。”拔速台道:“是,是!”喝令道:“梢……梢公!快……快向东行驶。”梢公依言转舵。那船横掠小岛,向东驶去。 张无忌喝道:“你蒙古人意欲谋害于我,我已识破你们诡计,快快招来!若有虚言,小心你的性命。”说着举起右掌,往船边上一拍,木屑纷飞,船边登时缺下一大块来。船上官兵见到,无不骇然。拔速台道:“公子明鉴:小人奉上司之命,迎接公子回去,此外更无别情。小人……小人只盼立此功劳,得蒙上司升赏,实无半分歹意。” 张无忌见他说得诚恳,料非虚言,于是放开他手腕,走到船头,左手提起一只铁锚,右手又提起一只铁锚,喝道:“众人看清楚了!”双手一扬,两只大铁锚一齐飞向半空。众官兵哗的一声,齐声惊喊。待两只大铁锚落将下来,张无忌使出挪移乾坤的心法,双手一掠一推,两只铁锚又飞了上去。如此连飞三次,他才轻轻接住,将两只铁锚放在船头。 蒙古人从马上得天下,最佩服武勇之士,见他武功如此惊人,一齐拜伏,再也不敢稍起异心。 梢公遵依张无忌命令,驾船东驶,直航入大洋之中,一连三天,所见唯有波涛接天。谢逊料得赵敏所遣的炮船必在闽粤一带海面守候巡视,现下座船航入大洋已远,决不至和炮船相遇,到第五日上,才命梢公改道向北。这一向北,更接连驶了二十余日,凭他赵敏聪明十倍,也难猜到此船的所在,于是再命梢公折向西行,航返中土。这一个多月之中,张无忌等不是取用自携的食物,便是捕捉海中鲜鱼为食,于船上饮食绝不沾唇。 这一日午间,遥见西方出现了陆地。蒙古官兵航海已久,眼见归来,尽皆欢呼。到得傍晚,那大船已停泊岸旁。这一带都是山石,海水甚深,大船可直泊靠岸。谢逊道:“无忌,你上岸去瞧瞧,这是甚么地方。”张无忌答应了,飞身上岸。 一路行去,只见四下里都是绿油油的森林,地下积雪初融,极是泥泞。走了一阵,树木更加荫深,一株株参天古松,都是数人方能合抱。他飞身上了一株高树,但见四下树木无边无际,竟是到了林海之中,再无人迹。他想便再向前也是如此,当下回向船来。 尚未走到岸旁,忽听得一声惨呼,声音极是凄厉,正是从船上发出。他吃了一惊,飞奔而回,扑上船头。只见满船横七竖八,尽是蒙古官兵的尸首,自拔速台以下,个个尸横船中,谢逊和周芷若好端端的站着,却不见敌人的踪影。 张无忌惊问:“义佼,芷若,你们没事罢?敌人到哪里去了?”谢逊道:“甚么敌人?你见到敌踪么?”张无忌道:“不!这些蒙古人……”谢逊道:“是我和芷若杀的。”张无忌更是惊奇道:“想不到这些鞑子一回中土,便胆敢起意害人。” 谢逊道:“他们没敢起意害人,是我杀了灭口。这些人一死,赵敏便不知咱们已回中土。从此她在明里,咱们在暗里,找她报仇便容易多了。” 张无忌倒抽了口凉气,半晌说不出话来。谢逊淡淡的道:“怎么?你怪我手段太辣么?鞑子官兵是咱们敌人,用得着以菩萨心肠相待么?” 张无忌不语,心想这些人对自己一直服侍唯谨,未有丝毫怠忽,虽说是敌人,但如此杀绝,总觉心中过意不去。谢逊道:“常言道得好:量小非君子,无毒不丈夫。已不伤人,人便伤己。那赵敏如此对待咱们,咱们便当以其人之道,还治其人之身。”张无忌道:“义父说的是。”但见到拔速台等人的尸身,忍不住便要流下泪来。 谢逊道:“放一把火,将船烧了。芷若,搜了尸首身上的金银,捡三把兵刃防身。” 两人在船上放了火,分别跃上岸来。这船船身甚大,直烧到半夜,方始烟飞火灭,连众人尸首一齐化灰沉入海底。张无忌见这么一来,干手净脚,再无半点痕迹,心想义父行事虽然狠辣了些,毕竟是老江湖,非己所及。 三人胡乱在岸旁睡了一觉,次晨穿林向南而行。走到第二日上,才遇到七八个采参的客人,一问之下,原来此地竟是关外辽东,距长白山已然不远。 待得和那些采参客人分手,周芷若道:“义父,是否须得将他们杀了灭口?”张无忌喝道:“芷若你说甚么?这些采参客人又不知咱们是谁。难道咱们此后一路上见一个便杀一个么?”周芷若窘得满脸通红,张无忌一生之中,从未如此疾言厉色的对她说话。 谢逊道:“依我原意,也是要将这些采参客人杀了。教主既不愿多伤人命,咱们快些设法换了衣服,免露痕迹。” 当下三人快步而行,走了两日,才出森林。又行一日,见到一家农家,张无忌取出银两,向农民购买衣服。但那农家极是贫寒,并无多余衣服可以出让,接连走了七八家人家,三人方凑齐了三套污秽不堪的衣衫。周芷若素来爱洁,闻到衣裤上陈年累积的臭气,几欲作呕。谢逊却十分欢喜,命二人用泥将脸涂污。张无忌在水中一照,只见已活脱成了辽东一丐,赵敏便对面相逢,也未必相识。
一路南行,进了长城,这日来到一处大镇甸上。 三人走向镇上一处大酒楼,张无忌摸出一锭三两重的银子,交在柜上,说道:“待咱们用过酒饭,再行结算。”他怕自己衣衫褴褛,酒楼中不肯送上酒饭。岂知那掌柜恭恭敬敬的站了起来,双手将银两奉还,说道:“爷们光顾小店,区区酒水粗饭,算得甚么?由小店作东便是。”张无忌很是诧异,坐定后,低声问周芷若道:“咱们身上可露出了甚么破绽?怎地这掌柜的不肯收受银子?”周芷若细查三人身上衣服形貌,宛然是三个乞丐,那里有甚么形迹败露?谢逊道:“我听那掌柜的语气之中,颇存惧意,咱们小心些便是。” 只听楼梯上脚步声响,走上七个人来,说也凑巧,竟然也都是乞丐的打扮。这七人靠着窗口大模大样的坐定。只见店小二恭恭敬敬的上前招呼,口中爷前爷后,当他们是达官贵人一般。张无忌见这些乞丐有的负着五只布袋,有的负着六只,都是丐帮中职司颇高的弟子。店小二将酒菜吩咐了下去,尚未送上,又有六七名丐帮弟子上来。片刻之间,酒楼上络络绎绎来了三十余名丐帮帮众,其中竟有三人是七袋弟子。 张无忌这才恍然大悟,原来丐帮今日在此集会,酒楼掌柜误会他三人也是丐帮中人,低声向谢逊道:“义父,咱们还是避开这里罢,免得多惹事端,丐帮到的人可不少。” 正在此时,店小二送上一大盘牛肉,一只烧鸡,五斤白酒。谢逊腹中正饿,多月来从未好好的饱餐过一顿,闻到烧鸡的香味,食指大动,说道:“咱们闷声不响的吃了酒肉便行,又碍他们甚么事了?”说着端起碗来,骨嘟嘟的喝了半碗白酒,心道:“天可怜见,谢逊流落海外二十余年,直至今日,方得重尝酒味。”这白酒烈而不醇,乃是常酿,在他却是如饮醍醐,似喝琼浆。 他吁了口长气,只感说不出的快美舒畅,将一碗白酒都喝干了,忽然低声道:“小心,两个大本领的人物来啦!”张无忌听到楼梯上的脚步之声,果然上楼来的两人武功了得。 那两人一走上楼梯顶口,哗喇喇一阵响,楼上群丐一齐站起。谢逊作个手势,三人也站起相迎。他三人坐在靠里偏角,和众人一齐坐着,并不惹眼,但当人人都站起身来,他三人倘若仍是坐着不动,只怕当场便有乱子。 张无忌见第一人中等身材,相貌清秀,三络长须,除了身穿乞丐服色之外,神情模样似个不第秀才。后面那人满脸横肉,虬髯戟张,相貌十分凶猛,只须再黑三分,活像是关公身旁执大刀的周仓。这二人都是五十多岁年纪,胡须均已花白,背上各负九只小小的布袋。这九只袋子只是表明他们身分,形体甚小,很难装甚么物事。 张无忌心下寻思:“丐帮号称江湖上第一大帮。听太师父言道,昔日丐帮帮主洪七公仁侠仗义,武功深湛,不论白道黑道,无不敬服。其后黄帮主、耶律帮主等也均是出类拔萃的人物,但数十年来主持非人,丐帮声望大非昔比。现任帮主史火龙极少在江湖上露面,不知其人如何。这二人背负九袋,在丐帮中除了帮主而外,当以他二人位份最尊。那日灵蛇岛上,丐帮中人来夺义父的屠龙刀,不知和他二人也有牵连么?” 这一次屠龙刀和倚天剑为赵敏盗去,那六根圣火令却仍在张无忌怀中,没有失落,想是赵敏忌惮他武功太强,生怕他中了十香软筋散后仍有出奇的本领,不敢到他怀中搜索。张无忌眼见丐帮势众,不敢大意,伸手怀中,摸了摸六根圣火令。 两名九袋长老走到中间一张大桌旁坐下。群丐纷纷归坐,吃喝起来,伸手抓菜,捧碗喝汤,吃得狼藉一团。张无忌和谢逊留神倾听,想听那两个九袋长老说些甚么。不料他二人尽是饮酒吃菜,除了说些“你来一碗”“这牛肉很香”之类,一言不涉及正事。待得两名龙头长老食毕下楼,群丐也已酒醉饭饱,一哄而散。 谢逊待群丐散尽,低声道:“无忌,你瞧如何?”张无忌道:“丐帮这许多人物在此聚会,决不会大吃大喝一顿便算。我猜他们晚间在僻静之处定然再行聚集,商量正事。”谢逊点头道:“必是如此,丐帮向来与本教为敌,焚烧光明顶便有他们的份,又曾派人来夺我屠龙刀。咱们须得打探明白,瞧他们是否另有图谋本教的奸计。” 三人下楼到柜面付帐,掌柜的甚是诧异,说甚么也不肯收。张无忌心想:“丐帮闹得这里的酒馆酒楼都吓怕了,吃喝不用付钱。只此一端,已可知他们平素的横行不法。” 三人找了一家小客店歇宿。镇上丐帮帮众虽多,但依照向例,无一住店,因此在客店中倒不虞撞到丐帮人物。谢逊道:“无忌,我眼不见物,打探讯息的事干起来诸多不便,芷若武功不高,陪着你去也帮不了忙,还是偏劳你一人罢。”张无忌道:“正该如此。”他在客店中稍作休息,便即出门。在大街上自南端直走到北端,竟没见到一名丐帮弟子。 张无忌寻思:“不到半个时辰之间,镇上丐帮帮众突然人影全无,料想走得不远。”当下走向一间南货店,瞪起双眼,伸拳在柜台上一击,喝道:“喂,掌柜的,我那许多兄弟们走向哪里去啦?”众店伴见到他这副凶神恶煞的模样,只道是丐帮中的一个恶丐,个个心惊肉跳,内中一人胆子较大,指着北方,陪笑道:“贵帮朋友络绎都向北去了。大爷喝杯茶么?”张无忌喝道:“不喝!喝甚么他妈的臭茶?”转身大踏步向北,肚中暗暗好笑。
他快步走出镇甸不远,只见左首路旁长草中人影一闪,一名丐帮弟子站了起来,瞧模样是要上来喝问。张无忌脚下加快,倏忽而过。那丐帮弟子擦了擦眼睛,还疑心自己眼花,怎地忽然似乎有人,转眼间却又不见了。 张无忌心想丐帮沿途布了卡子,好不戒备森严,当下展开轻功,向北疾驰。丐帮布在树后、草中、山间、石边的卡子,一一落入他眼中,反倒成为指引的路标。奔出四五里路,但见三步一岗,五步一卡,哨位越来越密。这些人武功虽然不高,但青天白日之下,要尽数避过他们的眼光却也不易。到了后来,只得避开大路,曲曲折折的绕道而行。 眼见一条山道通向山腰中的一座大庙,料知群丐必在庙中聚会,提气奔向东北角上,再折而向西,绕过群丐的卡子,直欺到庙侧。只见庙前一块匾上写“弥勒佛庙”四个大字,庙貌庄严,甚是雄伟。张无忌暗想:“这次丐帮中要紧人物定然到得不少。我若混在人丛之中,难免给他们发觉。”四下打量,见大殿前庭中左边一株古松,右边一株老柏,双树苍劲挺立,高出殿顶甚多,枝叶密茂,颇可藏身其间。绕到庙后,飞身上了屋顶,匍匐爬到檐角,轻轻一纵,如一溜烟般落到了松树之顶,从一根大枝干后望将出去,暗叫一声:“侥幸!”殿中风光,尽收眼底。 只见大殿地下黑压压的坐满了丐帮帮众,少说也有三百数十人。这些人均朝内而坐,是以他跃上松树,竟然无人知觉。殿中放着五个蒲团,虚座以待,显在等甚么人到来,殿中虽聚了三四百人,却无半点声息,和酒楼上乱糟糟地抢菜争食的情景浑不相同。他想:“丐帮享名数百年,近世虽然中衰,昔日典型,究未尽去。那酒楼中的混乱模样只是平日的情状。看来帮中长老部勒帮众,执法实极严谨。” 大殿居中坐着一尊弥勒佛,袒胸露出了一个大肚子,张大了笑口,慈祥可亲。张无忌正打量间,忽听得殿上一人喝道:“掌钵龙头到!”群丐一齐站起,那秀才模样的九袋长老手捧破钵,缓步而出,站在右首。又有人喝道:“掌棒龙头到!”那周仓般的九袋长老双手高举一根铁棒,大踏步出来,站在左首。那人喝道:“执法长老到!”只见一个身形瘦小的老丐走了出来,手中持着一根破竹片,脚下轻捷,走动时片尘不起。张无忌心道:“此人好高的轻功,只较韦蝠王稍逊。”有人喝道:“传功长老到!”这次出来的是个白须白发的老丐,空着双手,身形步法之中却看不出武功的深浅。 四名老丐将四个蒲团移向下首,只留下中间一个蒲团,弯腰躬身,齐声说道:“有请帮主大驾!”张无忌心中一凛:“但听说丐帮帮主名叫'金银掌'史火龙,武林中极少有人见过他的真面目,却不知是何等样的人物?” 大殿上群丐一齐躬身,过了一会,屏风后脚步声响,大踏步走出一条大汉来。但见他身高六尺有余,魁梧之极,红光满面,有似大官豪绅般模样,走到大殿正中,双手叉腰站立。群丐齐声道:“座下弟子,参见帮主大驾。” 那丐帮帮主史火龙右手一挥,说道:“罢了!小子们都好啊?”群丐道:“帮主安好。”待史火龙在中间蒲团上坐下,各人才分别坐地。史火龙转头向掌钵龙头说道:“翁兄弟,你把金毛狮王和屠龙刀的事,向大伙儿说说。” 张无忌听到“金毛狮王和屠龙刀”这几个字,心中大震,更是全神贯注的倾听。 掌钵龙头站起身来,向帮主打了一躬,转身说道:“众家兄弟:魔教和本帮争斗了六十年,积怨极深。近年魔教立了一个新教主,名叫张无忌,本帮有人参与围攻光明顶之役,曾见到此人是个无知少年。谅这等乳臭未干、黄毛未褪的小儿,成得甚么大事?焉能与本帮史帮主的雄才伟略相抗?”群丐欢声雷动,一齐鼓掌,史文龙脸上现出得意的神色。 掌钵龙头又道:“只是魔教立了新魔主后,本来四分五裂、自相残杀的局面登时改观,倒成了本帮的心腹大患。近一年来,魔教的众魔头在各路起事,淮泗一带,有韩山童、朱元璋,两湖一带有徐寿辉等人,连败元兵,占了不少地方,可说颇成气候。假若真给他们成了大事,逐出鞑子,得了天下,那时候本帮十数万兄弟,可都要死无葬身之地了。” 群丐大怒吆喝:“决不能让他们成事!”“丐帮誓与魔教死拚到底。”“魔教要是占了天下,本帮兄弟还有命活吗?”“鞑子是要打的,却万万不能让魔教教主坐了龙廷。” 张无忌寻思:“想不到我身在海外数月,弟兄们干得着实不错。丐帮这番顾虑,也非无因。丐帮人数众多,帮中也颇有豪杰之士,若得与他们联手抗元,大事更易成功。该当如何方得和他们尽释前嫌、化敌为友?” 掌钵龙头待群丐骚嚷稍静,说道:“史帮主向来在莲花山庄静养,长久不涉足江湖,但遇上了这等大事,非得亲自主持不可。也是天佑我帮,八袋长老陈友谅结识了一个武当弟子,得到了一个极其重要的讯息。”他提高声音叫道:“陈长老!” 壁后有人应道:“在!”两人携手而出。一个三十来岁年纪,神情剽悍,正是灵蛇岛上谢逊饶了他一命的陈友谅。另一个二十七八岁,相貌俊美,却是宋远桥之子宋青书。 张无忌先听得说“陈友谅结识了一个武当弟子”,料来只是那一位师伯叔门下的寻常弟子,岂知竟会是这个武当第三代弟子中的第一人,心想:“宋师哥怎会跟丐帮混在一起?”随即又想:“武当派与丐帮都是侠义道,双方交好,那也不奇。” 陈友谅和宋青书先向史火龙行礼,再向传功、执法二长老,掌棒、掌钵二龙头作揖,然后向群丐团团抱拳。掌钵龙头说道:“陈长老,你将此事的前因后果,跟众兄弟说说。” 陈友谅携着宋青书的手,说道:“众家兄弟,这位宋青书宋少侠,是武当派宋远桥宋大侠的公子,日后武当派的掌门,非他莫属。那魔教教主张无忌可说是宋少侠的师弟,因此魔教中的种种情由,宋少侠尽皆了如指掌。数月之前,宋少侠和我说起,魔教的大魔头金毛狮王谢逊,已到了东海灵蛇岛上……”执法长老插嘴道:“武林中找寻金毛狮王,当真无所不用其极,数十年来始终不知他的下落,宋少侠却何以忽然得知?老夫想要请教。” 张无忌心中一直存着一个疑团:“紫衫龙王因武烈父女而得知我义父的所在,前去接他南来灵蛇岛,此事该当隐秘之极,何以竟会让丐帮得知,因而派人去岛上夺刀?”这件事他曾和谢逊参详过几次,始终不明其理,这时听执法长老问起,自是加意留神。 只听陈友谅道:“托赖帮主洪福,机缘十分凑巧。东海有一个金花婆婆,不知如何,竟会得知了谢逊的所在。这老婆婆生长海上,精熟航海之事,居然给她找到了谢逊所居的极北荒岛,将他接上灵蛇岛。那灵蛇岛上囚禁着父女两人,名叫武烈、武青婴,是大理南帝一派武学的传人。
