Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three

Zhang Wuji went to lead the mount, and rode straight to the pass with Zhao Min.I thought that if the foster father had indeed fallen into the hands of the beggar gang, and the beggar gang wanted to use him to hold Mingjiao hostage, it would not hurt him, but humiliation was inevitable; He is shameless, and if he is persecuted, he will die.Thinking of this, I can't wait to fly to Lulong with my wings.But Zhao Min was injured, but he was determined not to rush on without sleep. The two stayed overnight in a small inn that night.Zhang Wuji was lying on the kang, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, he walked out of Zhao Min's window, but listening to her breathing evenly, he was in a deep sleep.He went to the counter to get a pen and inkstone, tore off a page of the account book, and left a hastily written note, saying that the matter was urgent, and he decided to hurry on the road overnight.Press the account book with a stone inkstone on the table, jump out of the window, and rush to the south.

The next morning, I bought horses and changed horses all the way. After several days and nights, I arrived at Lulong.But chasing so fast, he didn't meet Chen Youliang and Song Qingshu on the way, probably because when he was on his way at night, Chen Song and Zhangbo Longtou were sleeping in the inn, so he missed it. Lulong is an important town in Hebei. In the Tang Dynasty, it was the place where Jiedu envoys were stationed. During the Song and Jin Dynasties, troops were used several times.Zhang Wuji went all over the streets and alleys of Lulong, teahouses and taverns. It was strange to say that he did not meet a single beggar. He was overjoyed: "In such a big city, there are no beggars on the street. It is very unusual. Chen Youliang It is not a lie to say that the beggar gang gathers here. I think all the beggars, big and small, in the city have gone to see the gang leader. You only need to visit their meeting place, and you can find out whether the foster father and Zhiruo were really captured by the beggar gang. Go." He looked around the temples, ancestral halls, abandoned gardens, and open fields in the city, but he couldn't find any clues, and he went to various villages in the suburbs, but he still didn't see anything unusual.

In the evening, the more he searched, the more anxious he became, and he couldn't help thinking about Zhao Min's benefits: "If she was by my side, I would never be so helpless." He only got to spend the night in an inn, and took a nap after dinner. , until the second watch, fly to the house, and see what's going on around. Looking around, it was peaceful, and there was no sign of gatherings of people from the Jianghu. While he was in trouble, he suddenly saw a fire on a tall building in the southeast corner, and thought: "If this family is not an official, it is a rich gentry. There's nothing to do with it..." Before he finished his thoughts, Yaoyao seemed to see a figure flashing, and someone jumped out from the window, but the distance was so far that he couldn't see clearly. A big family going to work on a crime? There is nothing left and right, so go and have a look."

Immediately, he unfolded his lightness kung fu, ran to the side of the huge house, and jumped over the wall, only to hear someone say: "Elder Chen is too troublesome, he clearly said that everyone will gather in Laohekou on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but he is in a hurry to report, The news came, asking us to wait here. He is not the leader of the gang, so he can do whatever he says, it is really unreasonable." The voice was loud and angry, but what he said was clearly about the affairs of the beggar gang.When Zhang Wuji heard this, he was overjoyed. The voice came from the hall, Zhang Wuji quietly hid it, and only heard the voice of Shi Huolong, the leader of the beggar gang, said: "Master Chen is quite amazing, that golden-haired lion king Xie Xun of his grandma, many people in the world have searched for it for more than 20 years. Years ago, no one could catch a lion's fur to smell it, but Elder Chen managed to capture him, let alone no one in this gang, who in the martial arts world can do it..." Zhang Wuji went on Surprised and delighted, thinking that the whereabouts of the adoptive father is known, there is no such thing as a great master in the beggar gang, it is not difficult to save the adoptive father, so he moved his eyes to the edge of the long window and looked in.

I saw Shi Huolong sitting in the middle, Chuangong, Law Enforcement Second Elder, Zhang Bang Longtou and three eight-pocket elders sat at the bottom. There was also a middle-aged fat man in gorgeous clothes, his appearance was like a wealthy gentleman, with his back on his back But it also carries six cloth bags.Zhang Wuji nodded secretly: "Yes, it turns out that there is a rich man in Lulong who is a disciple of the Beggar Clan. No one would have imagined that the beggars would gather in the rich man's house." Shi Huolong continued: "Since Elder Chen sent an urgent message, he must have his reason for asking us to wait in Lulong. We are planning big things, his grandma's, this... this, we must be careful." Bang Longtou said: "Master's lesson: the heroes in the Jianghu are looking for Xie Xun, in order to seize the sword of dragon slaying. Now this sword is not in Xie Xun's hands. No matter how hard he deceives or scares him, he still refuses to reveal the sword. We got a blind man in vain, what is the use of him except to invite him to drink and eat? According to my brother, it is better to punish him harshly, and see if he says nothing.” Shi Huolong shook his hand and said, “No It's right, it's not right, hard work might turn out to be a bad thing. Let's wait for Elder Chen to arrive, and then we can make a long-term plan." Zhang Bang's face showed disapproval, as if he blamed the leader for following Chen Youliang's advice on everything.

Shi Huolong took out a letter, handed it to Zhang Banglongtou, and said, "Brother Feng, you go to Haozhou immediately, and hand this letter to Han Shantong, saying that his son is here with us, and everything is fine. Han Shantong surrendered to the gang, and I will treat his son differently." Zhang Banglong said: "It seems that brothers don't need to go to this small matter of sending letters?" Shi Huolong's face darkened, and said: "In the past six months, Han Shantong Waiting for the gang to be very prosperous. I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun under his blood are all a bit stinky in fighting. This time, Brother Feng is going to go out in person, because he wants to say Han Shantong joined the gang, he was obedient, and he had to see what plans he and the generals under him had, and secondly, to find out what the hell was going on with the Mingjiao troops along the way. The burden on the shoulders of Brother Feng is not light, how can we say yes Small matter?" Zhang Bang Longtou didn't dare to say anything more, and said: "I would like to follow the order of the leader." After receiving the letter, he saluted Shi Huolong and left the hall.

Zhang Wuji continued to listen, and only listened to what they said about how the Beggar Clan would flourish after the Mingjiao, Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei sects joined in.It seems that Shi Huolong's ambition is not as great as Chen Youliang's. The implication in his words is that he is satisfied as long as the beggar gang dominates the world and dominates the martial arts world, but he does not want to win the country and become the emperor.He listened for a while, feeling bored, thinking: "It seems that Yifu and Zhiruo are imprisoned here, I will rescue them first, and then I will punish these brazen beggars." With a little right foot, Leaping up a tall tree lightly, looking around, saw a dozen disciples of the Beggar Clan downstairs, armed with weapons, patrolling back and forth, presumably it was the place where Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo were imprisoned.

He slid down the tree, hid himself behind a rockery, and got close to the tall building. After the two patrolling Beggar Sect disciples turned around and walked away, he rushed to the bottom of the building and jumped up.But seeing the bright lights upstairs, he leaned over the window and listened to the movement in the room.After listening for a while, there was no sound in the building.He was very surprised: "Why is there no one? Could it be that there is an expert hiding here who can hold his breath for a long time?" After a while, he still couldn't hear the sound of breathing, so he leaned over to look through the window, only Seeing that the pair of large candles on the table have been mostly lit, but there is no one in the room.

There are three rooms side by side on the upper floor. Seeing that there is no one in the east wing room, I peek out of the window of the west wing room.The lights in the room are bright, the table is messy, there are seven or eight people's bowls and chopsticks, the remaining wine in the glasses is still wet, and the dishes are just starting to move, but there is no one there. It seems that these people left the room after eating and drinking for a long time.The middle room was dark and without lights.He pushed the door lightly, and the latch was on the inside, and he called in a low voice, "Father, are you here?" No one answered.

Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "It seems that the adoptive father is not here, but why are the people of the Beggar Clan so closely guarded? Could it be that those who intend to be real are false, and those who are false are real?" Suddenly smelling a bloody smell, from the middle The room passed out.He was startled, and pressed his left hand on the door, his inner strength trembled slightly, and there was a light click, and the door bolt was snapped off.He immediately dodged into the room and caught the two broken bolts so that they would not fall and make a sound. He only took a step, but his feet stumbled, and the contact was soft, like a human body, and he bent down to touch it, but it was a corpse.This person lost his breath early, and his face was still slightly warm, obviously he had not died long ago.Feeling for this person's head, small head and pointed cheeks, it's not Xie Xun, so I immediately feel relieved.Taking a step forward, he stepped onto the bodies of the two of them again.He stretched out his fingers and cut two small holes in the west wall, and the candlelight came through the holes.I saw that the ground was full of corpses lying here and there, all of them were disciples of the Beggar Clan, obviously all of them had suffered severe internal injuries.He picked up the dead body and tore off his clothes, but saw that the man's chest was like a fist mark, his ribs were all broken, and his fist was extremely powerful.

Zhang Wuji was overjoyed: "It turns out that the adoptive father showed his supernatural power, killed the guards, and got out." Looking around the room, he saw a flame pattern engraved with a sharp object on the corner of the wall, which was the symbol of Mingjiao. Seeing that the window latch was broken and the window was half-closed, I thought to myself: "Yes, just now I saw a dark shadow flashing upstairs, that is, the adoptive father escaped, but I don't know how the adoptive father was captured by the gang of beggars? It’s his old man who can’t see anything, so it’s hard to guard against the tricks of the beggars. They either use Mongolian sweat medicine, or use bridle ropes, barbs, fishing nets and other things to capture him.” He was overwhelmed with joy, walked out of the room, huddled by the door, looked down, and saw all the beggars patrolling back and forth, unaware of the incident upstairs, thinking: "Yifu has not been away for a long time, go catch up with him, Our father and son turned around and turned him upside down, Fang taught the beggars to know my methods of teaching." Thinking of this, he was filled with pride, and just now he saw the black shadow coming from the west, and then he jumped up and landed on a tall tree. At one o'clock, he jumped out of the wall, raised his breath and sprinted westward. After chasing along the main road for several miles, I came to a fork, looked around, and saw a flame mark drawn on the back of a rock, pointing to the path to the southwest.Zhang Wuji was overjoyed, thinking that his adoptive father's whereabouts had been discovered, and he would meet him immediately.He had heard Yang Xiao explain in detail all the secret signs for contact and guidance in Ming Cult, and he saw that although the flame mark was only a few strokes, it was drawn vigorously. If it weren't for Xie Xun, a man with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, few people in Ming Cult could draw it. come out.
At this time, he had no doubts, and chased along the path until he arrived at Shaheyi. At dawn, he bought some steamed buns at the restaurant to satisfy his hunger, and went westward to Bangzi Town.He saw a flame mark painted on the corner of the street, pointing to a dilapidated ancestral hall, he was overjoyed, guessing that his adoptive father must be hiding in it, and when he walked in, he heard a burst of hooting and drinking, and a group of hooligans surrounded the hall He is gambling with the poor and settled children, but it is a casino. Seeing Zhang Wuji's expensive attire, the head of the casino knew that Zhang Wuji was a wealthy guest, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and said, "My lord, quickly throw two hands, you are lucky, kill him three Tongzhuang." Turning his head to the crowd. The gambler said: "Quickly give up your seat to the young master, and everyone will give you money to lose, so that the young master can take it back to the house with both hands!" Zhang Wuji frowned, seeing that there were no people from the world among the gamblers, he called out: "Father, father, is your old man here?" After a while, he didn't hear anyone answer, he called again several times . Seeing that he didn't come to gamble, but yelled and harassed the situation, a rogue responded immediately: "My dear boy, my old man is here, come and throw the dice quickly." All the rogues burst out laughing. Zhang Wuji asked the Zhuangtou: "Have you ever seen a tall man with yellow hair come in, he is blind?" The Zhuangtou saw that he didn't come to gamble, but came to look for someone, his heart suddenly jumped. He faded away, and said with a smile: "It's a joke, there is a blind man in the world who comes to play dice? Is this blind man out of his mind?" Zhang Wuji searched for his adoptive father and disappeared, his heart was no longer angry. Hearing that the Zhuangtou and that poppi made insulting words and insulted his adoptive father, he took two steps, one in each hand, and grabbed the Zhuangtou and poppi, and sent them away gently. People threw themselves on the roof.Although the two of them were not injured, they were so frightened that they screamed like killing pigs.Zhang Wuji pushed away the crowd, picked up two big silver coins from the gambling table, and said, "My lord has taken the silver back to the mansion." Putting it in his arms, he strode out of the ancestral hall.All the rogues were stunned, who would dare to chase after him? He continued westward, and soon saw the flame mark again.In the evening, I arrived at Fengrun, which is a big city in northern Hebei. According to the sign, I found a place outside the white wall and black gate.But I saw that the copper ring on the door was polished brightly, and the plum blossoms were half in bloom inside the wall. It was a quiet, elegant and clean house.He took the knocker and tapped it three times.Soon the footsteps were broken, and the black door opened with a bang, and a strong fragrance was smelled in the nose, and the door was answered by a little servant girl in a pink leather jacket, she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Master, I won't be here for a long time, sister." I miss you so much, come in and drink tea." He smiled again, and winked at him. Zhang Wuji was puzzled like Zhang Er King Kong, and asked: "How do you know me? Who is your sister?" The little servant girl smiled and said: "You know why, come quickly, don't let my sister worry about you. "He stretched out his hand to hold his right hand and led him in. Zhang Wuji was amazed: "Why did she feel like old friends when I first met?" Then he thought: "Ah, yes, Zhiruo must be staying here, knowing that I must follow the signs to find me within a day, and ordered this little servant girl to answer the door day and night. Alas, how many I don't see you in the day, Zhiruo is worried about me, and I am suffering." He felt warm in his heart, and followed the little servant girl, passing a cobblestone path, passing through a courtyard, and came to a wing room.Only a parrot in the eaves could be heard screaming: "Brother Qing is here, sister, brother Qing is here." Zhang Wuji blushed and thought, "Even the parrot knows." I saw that the chairs in the room were all covered with brocade cushions, the charcoal fire was blazing, making the whole room feel spring, and a burner of incense was lit on the table.The little servant girl turned around and went out, and soon came in with a plate of six colored fruits and a pot of clear tea.The little servant girl poured the tea carefully and handed it to Zhang Wuji, but gently pinched it on his wrist.Zhang Wuji frowned, thinking: "Why is this girl so frivolous?" Zhou Zhiruo's face was hindered, but it was hard to speak of her, and asked, "Where is Master Xie? Where is Miss Zhou?" The little servant girl smiled and said, "Why do you ask Mr. Xie? Are you drinking the vinegar? My sister is here. Look at your anxious appearance. You, you have no conscience. When you come to us, your heart is full Miss Zhou and Miss Wang are on your mind." Zhang Wuji was startled, and said, "You are talking nonsense, what are you talking about?" The little servant girl pursed her lips and smiled again, then turned and went out.After a while, I only heard Huan Pei Ding Dong, the curtain was lifted, and the little girl helped a twenty-one or twelve-year-old girl in.I saw her complexion was fair and greasy, her eyebrows were curved, she was pretty, and there was a romantic mole on the right corner of her mouth, her eyes were full, she smiled before she wanted to speak, her figure was graceful, and she greeted her gracefully.Zhang Wuji only felt the strong fragrance, and felt very uncomfortable.I only heard the woman say: "What's your surname, Mr. Xiang? Today I have time to sit and sit. The little girl is really a big face." As he said, his left hand rested on his shoulder. Zhang Wuji blushed, hurriedly avoided, and said, "My surname is Zhang. There is Mr. Xie and a girl named Zhou, but are they here?" The woman smiled and said, "This is Lixiangyuan, you want to find Zhou Xianxian, it's time to go to Bitaoju. Which little girl have you lost your soul and come to Lixiangyuan to find Zhou Xianxian? Hee hee!" Zhang Wuji suddenly realized that this place was actually a brothel, he said: "I'm sorry." He quickly walked out.The little servant girl chased her out and shouted: "Young master, what is my elder sister inferior to Zhou Xianxian? You can't sit still for a while?" Zhang Wuji waved his hands repeatedly, took out a coin he had snatched from the casino, and threw it underground. Throw, fly out. After such a commotion, I couldn't calm down for a while, seeing that the sky was getting dark, and I was afraid of missing the flame mark by the roadside at night, so I took a night in an inn, and my mind was full of thoughts: "Why did the foster father go to the casino and the brothel again? What is the meaning of this old man's actions?" After sleeping until midnight, he suddenly woke up: "Yefu is blind, how could he leave so many marks clearly along the way? Could it be that Zhiruo was guiding him? Or is the enemy deliberately pretending to be the mark of our sect, to tease me? Or even lure me into ambush? Hmph, it is the den of dragons and tigers, so I have to break into him anyway." When I got up the next morning, I found the flame sign outside Fengrun City, still pointing to the west.When I arrived at Yutian in the afternoon, I saw that the sign pointed to a big family.Lanterns and festoons were hung outside the door of this house, and a wedding was being held. On the lanterns were written the words "Son Yugui" in red. It seemed that the daughter was getting married.Zhang Wuji learned his lesson this time, he no longer inquired directly about Xie Xun's whereabouts, he mingled with the congratulatory group to check, and if he saw nothing unusual, he immediately went out to look for the mark, and finally found it next to a big tree. The flame mark led him from Yutian to Sanhe, and turned south to Xianghe.At this moment he had already thought: "Most likely the gang of beggars found out about me and used the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to lure me far away so that I can let go of that sinister deed." Although he was anxious, he didn't dare to disobey the mark. However, I'm afraid the marks were indeed left by Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo. "If they are being chased by a powerful enemy, and when they flee, they leave marks along the road, hoping that I will rush to rescue them. If I think I am wise and go back to Lulong, and my adoptive father and Zhiruo are killed because of this, then what should I do? The matter has come to this point, the only way to find out is to follow the flame mark and chase him." From Xianghe to Baocheng, then to Dabaizhuang and Panzhuang, it has been heading to the southeast, and then to Ninghe. Since then, the flame mark has disappeared without a trace and can never be found again.He inspected Ninghe carefully, but found nothing abnormal, he thought: "Sure enough, the beggar gang led me here and taught me to run for several days for nothing." Immediately, I bought a horse, went back to Lulong, bought a white robe at the clothing store, borrowed a Chinese ink brush, and drew a huge flame on the white robe, determined to fight the leader of the Beggar Gang Church.
He put on a white robe, and strode to the door of the rich man's mansion, only to see two huge red doors tightly closed, and the copper nails the size of a bowl on the door gleamed.He pushed out with both palms, and with a bang, the two gates flew up and fell into the courtyard. There was a bang, bang, bang, bang, and the two large goldfish bowls were smashed to pieces. During the past few days, he was worried about the safety of his adoptive father and Zhou Zhiruo, and he was repeatedly teased. He went around in circles in northern Hebei, feeling depressed and angry. At this time, he returned to the head of the beggar gang, determined to make a big fuss.He smashed through the gate, walked in with great strides, his tongue was full of spring thunder, and shouted: "Everyone in the Beggar Clan has heard this, please ask Shi Huolong to come out and see me." In the yard stood more than a dozen four or five bag disciples of the Beggar Clan, they were shocked to see two gates flying up suddenly, and saw a young man in white barge in, seven or eight people shouted at the same time, went up to stop them, and rushed forward Called: "Who is it? What are you doing?" Zhang Wuji shook his arms, the seven or eight disciples of the Beggar Clan fell straight out with bang bang bang bang, they only smashed into a row of long windows.He walked through the hall, slammed his palm, and knocked the middle door away, and saw a banquet table in the middle hall, Shi Huolong was sitting in the middle.A group of beggar gang leaders heard the commotion at the gate and sent people out to inquire.Zhang Wuji came so fast, met the seven-bag disciple who hurried out to inquire on the way, grabbed it by splitting his chest, and threw it at Shi Huolong. The master who looked like a rich man sat at the bottom, saw the seven-bag disciple flying towards the mat, stretched out his arms to hug the man, and hugged him upright, but felt an overwhelming force hitting him, and his feet slammed "Thousand catty pendant", he had to stabilize his figure, but unexpectedly, Deng Deng Deng retreated seven or eight steps in a row, leaning against the big pillar with his vest, and then stopped, loosened his hands, and threw the seven bags of disciples on the ground, out of breath Come, limp all over, and fell by the pillar.Seeing this scene, all the beggars were shocked. At this moment, Zhang Wuji let out a "Hey" and was pleasantly surprised. He saw a young girl sitting on the left of the round table, and it was Zhou Zhiruo.Sitting next to her was Song Qingshu.Zhou Zhiruo exclaimed: "Brother Wuji!" She stood up, swayed her body, and then fell to the ground.Zhang Wuji was taken aback, he rushed forward and leaned over to hug him.Before he could straighten up, there was a slap on the back, a bang, and he had already been slapped by Song Qingshu, and then punched by another master of the beggar gang. At this moment, Zhang Wuji's Nine Suns magical power had already spread all over his body, this palm and punch hit his back, and all the force of the palm and fist was removed.He picked up Zhou Zhiruo, leaped back to the yard, and asked, "Where's foster father?" Zhou Zhiruo tremblingly said, "I...I..." Zhang Wuji asked, "How is he?" Zhou Zhiruo said, "I'll give They hit the acupuncture points..." Zhang Wuji was only concerned about Xie Xun, and asked: "Where's the adoptive father?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "I don't know, I was captured here for them, and I have never known the whereabouts of the adoptive father and his old man." Zhang Wuji was there She massaged her leg joints a few times and put her on the ground.Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiruo's acupuncture technique was very unique, his two massages didn't work.She touched the ground with both feet, but she couldn't stand up straight. She bent her knees and sat down. The group of beggars left their seats one after another and walked to the front of the steps.Shi Huolong clasped his fists and said: "Your Excellency is the leader of Mingjiao Zhang?" Zhang Wuji thought that he was the leader of a gang, so he must not lose his courtesy, so he clasped his fists back and said, "Don't dare. Please forgive me for the crime of rudeness." Shi Huolong said: "Master Zhang has been famous all over the world in recent years, and I am like a thunder... This is Guan Er, seeing my brother's skill today, it is really amazing, hehe, I admire, I admire. "Zhang Wuji said: "I came down recklessly, but the leader of Shijiao laughed at me. Where is my adoptive father, the Golden Retriever Lion King? Please come out and meet him." Shi Huolong blushed, and then he laughed and said, "Master Zhang is young, but he speaks so vilely. We are so kind, please thank the lion king for coming... come here... have a glass of wine, but thank the lion king He left without saying goodbye, and severely injured eight disciples of our gang, his grandma. I don’t know how to calculate this account? But I have to ask Master Zhang to make a plan.” Zhang Wuji was startled, and thought: "Those eight beggar gang disciples were indeed killed by my adoptive father with heavy fists. It seems that the old man is no longer here, but where is he?" He said, "Where is Miss Zhou?" Why did your gang imprison her here?" Shi Huolong was stunned, and said, "This..." Chen Youliang interjected, "Although Zhang Wuji is strong in martial arts, he is an unreasonable little devil... Haha... ..." Zhang Wuji said with a serious face: "How?" Chen Youliang said: "I saw you today, hehe, it really is the shadow of a tree, and the name of a person is not bad at all." Zhang Wuji said: "Why am I so unreasonable?" Chen Youliang said: "This Miss Zhou is the head of the Emei Sect, a leader of a well-known decent sect. What does it have to do with the heretics of your sect? This Song Qingshu brother is a rising star of the Wudang Sect. He and Miss Zhou are both talented and beautiful. The family is right, one pair and two good. The two of them passed by here, and the beggar gang invited the two of them to be guests and have a drink together. Why did the leader of Mingjiao intervene? It’s so funny, so funny!” The group of beggars echoed and laughed. Zhang Wuji said: "If Miss Zhou is your guest, why did you order her acupuncture points?" Chen Youliang said: "Ms. Zhou has been drinking here, talking and laughing freely. Who said that her acupoints were tapped? The Beggar Gang and the Emei Sect have a deep relationship and have been friends for generations. Guo Nvxia, the founder of the Emei Sect, is a poor gang. The biological daughter of the previous gang leader Huang. The previous Yelu gang leader of our gang is Guo Nvxia's brother-in-law. If there are no ignorant people in the martial arts world, they should know these historical facts. How can our beggar gang offend the current head of the Emei sect? Zhang Jiaozhu speaks nonsense, why doesn't he teach the heroes of the world to laugh at him?" Zhang Wuji sneered and said: "So Miss Zhou ordered her own acupoints?" Chen Youliang said: "That's not necessarily the case. Everyone here saw it with their own eyes. Master Zhang flew over, raped Miss Zhou, and hugged her In the past. Ms. Zhou struggled and refused to accept, and your lord tapped her acupoints. Zhang Jiaozhu, although a hero is sad to be a beauty, and everyone has a lustful heart, but in such a large crowd, under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Jiaozhu like this Isn't it too degrading to act in a hurry?" Zhang Wuji's eloquence was far inferior to Chen Youliang's, and he was biting back like this, and under his rage, it was even more difficult to tell, his face turned livid, and he shouted: "In this way, you must not tell my adoptive father. whereabouts?" Chen Youliang said loudly: "Master Zhang, Yang Xiao, the bright emissary of your sect, raped and murdered Ji Xiaofu, a heroine of the Emei sect, and everyone in the martial arts circles all over the world condemned you. If you think you are so strong in martial arts, you come to do such despicable deeds again, I'm afraid There is no escape from justice." Zhang Wuji turned his head and said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Zhiruo, just tell me, how did they kidnap you here?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "I...I...I..." He said three "I" words, Suddenly, he leaned over and passed out. The group of beggars clamored and shouted: "The demon head of the Ming Sect has killed someone!" "Zhang Wuji failed to force rape, and killed the leader of the Emei Sect!" Zhang Wuji was furious, stepped forward, and rushed towards Shi Huolong, thinking: "To capture the thief, first capture the king, as long as Shi Huolong is caught, at least it will land on him, and force to find out the whereabouts of my adoptive father." The leader of the palm stick and the law enforcement elder both stopped him.Zhang Bang Longtou swung the iron rod, the law enforcement elder had a steel hook in his right hand, an iron crutch in his left hand, two people with three weapons, and hit him at the same time.Zhang Wuji let out a clear whistle, Qian Kun Da Nuo moved his mind, and with a clanging sound, the law enforcement elder's right hand steel hook parried the iron rod of the palm dragon's head, and his left hand single-handedly smashed it under his side. The elder Chuan Gong next to him held out his long sword, and shouted: "This kid has weird martial arts, everyone be careful." Swiping three swords, he spat out like a rainbow, pointing at Zhang Wuji's chest and abdomen.Seeing his fierce moves, Zhang Wuji shouted: "Good swordsmanship." He turned sideways to avoid him, and pointed his left index finger at his thigh.The Elder Chuan Gong turned his long sword in circles, aiming at Zhang Wuji's fingertips to kill.This change of move is fast, and the point of the sword point is accurate, this single sword is already a rare brilliant move in the martial arts.Zhang Wuji secretly praised in his heart: "The Beggar Gang is famous all over the world, and it has lasted for a hundred years. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the gang, it really has outstanding talents." That day in the Maitreya Temple, I saw the two elders of Xuanming fighting with the masters of the Beggar Gang, but they were just physically Hidden in the tree, I dare not poke my head out, what I see is not clear, now I know that the two elders of imparting kung fu and law enforcement can be ranked among the world's first-class masters.Zhangbang Longtou has a shallower heat, but it is only slightly inferior. In an instant, the three elders of the Beggar Clan and Zhang Wuji had dismantled more than twenty moves.Chen Youliang suddenly shouted loudly: "Pull out the dog formation!" The group of beggars He He shouted, the swords were as bright as snow, twenty one beggar gang masters each held a scimitar, and surrounded Zhang Wuji in the heart.These twenty-one people either sang the lotus flower falling, or moaned in pain, or stretched out their fists and punched their chests, or shouted: "Master, madam, give me alms!" Zhang Wuji was startled at first, and then he understood that these strange shouts and behaviors , designed to disturb the enemy's mind.I saw that the group of beggars' footsteps were chaotic, but they advanced and retreated, but they were rigorous and lawful. The elder Chuan Gong shouted: "Hold on!" He took two steps back, with the horizontal sword in his chest.The law enforcement elder and Zhang Bang leader also jumped away.The group of beggars lined up in the "dog-killing formation" was still running around without stopping.Elder Chuan Gong shouted: "Master Zhang, we shouldn't be bullying the few by the crowd, but no one in the Beggar Clan is your opponent. You don't care about the chivalry rules of fighting alone in the way of chivalry." Zhang Wuji Smiling slightly, he said: "It's easy to say, easy to say." The elder Chuan Gong said again: "We all have weapons, but Master Zhang is empty-handed. , I will serve it as ordered.” Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "This elder who imparts kung fu is both high in martial arts and righteous, quite different from a man like Chen Youliang." He said, "I'm just playing with you guys, so why bother wielding swords and sticks? I'm going to use weapons, and I'll use them myself." Won't you take it?" When he said something else, his figure flickered, and he had already escaped from the dog-killing formation. He put his hands on the shoulders of Chen Youliang and Song Qingshu and pressed them.As soon as he went in and out, the twenty-one gang members who were rushing with swords did not touch a piece of his clothes.The group of beggars were in shock, only to hear him say loudly: "The name of your gang 'Killing Dog Formation' is very good. It's just that killing dogs is easy, but if you want to subdue dragons and subdue tigers, this formation will not work." A strong force was transmitted to the blades of the swords, but two rattling sounds were heard, and the two swords broke from it. Zhang Bang Longtou shouted: "Everyone, come on." The iron rod pointed towards his chest, and the hook and crutch of the law enforcement elder also danced into two balls of snowflakes, rushing towards him.Zhang Wuji rushed to the left, but his body leaned to the right, and the Qiankun Great Teleportation technique made him come out, but he saw white light flashing again and again, and there was a constant sound of puffing, the scimitars in the hands of the beggars in the dog-killing formation were all taken by him. Take it off and throw it away, and put all the handles on the main beam of the hall.Twenty-one scimitars were lined up neatly in a row, each of which did not penetrate a foot into the wood. Chen Youliang suddenly heard shouting: "Zhang Wuji, are you still going to stop?" Zhang Wuji turned his head, and saw Chen Youliang holding another long sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointed at Zhou Zhiruo's back. Zhang Wuji sneered and said: "For a hundred years in the world, it has been said that 'Mingjiao, Beggars' Gang, and Shaolin School', Mingjiao is the top sect, and gangs push the Beggars' Gang to be respected, so you are not afraid of insulting Hong Qigong's reputation as an old hero? " The elder Chuan Gong said angrily: "Elder Chen, let go of Miss Zhou, we will fight to the death with the leader Zhang. The beggar gang put all their efforts, but they couldn't snatch the leader of the Ming religion alone, so they made such a terrible plan. We all have face Do you want to be human?" Chen Youliang smiled and said, "A real man would rather fight wits than strength. Zhang Wuji, are you still not tied?" Zhang Wuji laughed loudly and said: "Forget it! Today I taught Zhang Wuji to see the majesty of the Beggar Clan." Suddenly he took two steps back, made a hollow somersault backwards, and landed in the air, his feet were already on the shoulders of the leader of the Beggar Clan, Shi Huolong.He placed his right palm flat on Shi Huolong's forehead, and his left palm held the meridians on the back of his neck. This move of holy fire makes martial arts so easy to succeed, even Zhang Wuji himself was quite surprised.His original intention was to use a strange trick to deceive Shi Huolong by surprise, and he planned in his heart that the three tricks would be powerful and he would capture Shi Huolong as quickly as lightning. He was afraid that Chen Youliang would be cruel and merciless, and maybe he would really slam Zhou Zhiruo. Violent hands.Unexpectedly, the three powerful killers he had thought of could not execute any one of the three moves. Shi Huolong was captured without parrying.Riding on Shi Huolong's shoulders, he is like a child playing with an adult, his appearance is very indecent, but he has already controlled the opponent's key point, but he is unwilling to jump down to the ground, causing another twist. Seeing that the gang leader was captured, the group of beggars exclaimed in unison.Zhang Wuji's right palm was flat on the "Baihui Point" on Shi Huolong's top gate. That "Baihui Point" is at the intersection of the Foot Sun Meridian and the Governor Vessel, and it is the most acupoint on the human body. Immediately, the meridians were broken and he died, and there was no medicine to save him.None of the beggars dared to move.After shouting for a while, the hall was suddenly silent, everyone stared at Zhang Wuji and Shi Huolong with wide eyes, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, the sound of several zithers and flutes singing softly from the roof was suddenly heard, as if several Yaoqins and several Dongxiaos were playing at the same time.The sound of the music was vague and whirling, vaguely absent, but everyone could hear it very clearly, but it was coming from east and west, no one knew which side of the roof it was coming from. Zhang Wuji was amazed, he didn't know what the sound of the zither and flute meant.Chen Youliang said loudly: "Where is the expert coming to the Beggars' Clan? If you are a group of demons from Mingjiao, you might as well just show up here. Why pretend to be a ghost?" The sound of the Yaoqin rang three times in a row, and suddenly four girls in white clothes floated down from the east and west eaves into the courtyard, each holding a Yaoqin in their hands.These four harps are half shorter and half narrower than ordinary seven-spinning harps, but they still have all seven strings.After the four girls fell down, they stood in four directions in the courtyard.Following the door, four girls in black walked in, each holding a long black flute in their hands, but this flute was half as long as the common hole flute.The four girls in black also stood at the four corners.Four whites and four blacks stand crossed. The eight girls stood in their positions, and the four Yaoqins sounded the melody, and then the Dongxiao joined the ensemble, the music was extremely soft and elegant.Zhang Wuji doesn't understand music, but he feels the music is pleasant to the ear, even though he is in an extremely urgent situation, he would like to listen to it for a while longer. Amidst the melodious music, a woman in a light yellow shirt walked slowly, holding a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in her left hand.The woman was about twenty-seven or eight years old, she was graceful and extremely beautiful, but her face was too pale to have any color.The girl was ugly, with her nostrils upturned and her mouth wide, revealing two big front teeth, she had a vicious look.She held the beautiful woman in one hand, but in the other hand she held a green bamboo stick. When the group of beggars saw the two women coming in, they all stared at the green bamboo stick in unison.Seeing so many women coming in, Zhang Wuji felt that he was still riding on Shi Huolong's shoulders, which was too childish, but Chen Youliang's sword was not far from Zhou Zhiruo's heart, he couldn't easily let go of the leader of the beggar gang.But seeing the group of beggars all staring at the bamboo stick in the girl's hand, it seems that the bamboo stick is the only thing that is the most important thing in the world, such as the girl in white, the girl in black, the girl in yellow, and this ugly girl herself. , everyone treats it like nothing.He was secretly surprised, when he looked at the bamboo stick, he saw that the stick was green and smooth, it had been caressed by many people for many years, but other than that, it was not the same. 那黄衫美女目光一转，犹似两道冷电，掠过大厅上众人，最后停在张无忌脸上，冷冰冰的道：“张教主，你年纪也不小了，正经事不干，却在这儿胡闹。”这几句话中微含责备之意，但辞语颇为亲切，犹似长姊教训幼弟一般。 张无忌脸上一红，分辩道：“丐帮的陈长老以卑鄙手段，制住我的……我的同伴，我只好擒住他们的帮主。” 那美女微微一笑，柔声道：“将人家帮主当马骑，不太过份一点吗？我从长安来，道上听人说明教教主是个小魔头，今日一见，唉，唉！”说着螓首轻摇，颇有不以为然的神色。 史火龙突然大叫：“张无忌你这小淫贼，快快下来！”想伸手去扳他腿，苦于后颈经脉被拿，半点劲道也使不出来。张无忌听他当着妇道人家的面斥骂自己为“小淫贼”，又羞又怒，左手一股内力从他后颈透了过去。史火龙全身酸麻难当，忍不住大声“啊哟，啊哟”的呻吟起来。 群丐见张无忌如此无礼，而本帮帮主却又这等孱弱，无不羞愤交集，均觉史火龙在敌人手下居然出声呻吟，实大失英雄好汉的身分，别说他是江湖上第一大帮之主，便是寻常一个丐帮弟子，也不该对敌人低头示弱。 陈友谅道：“张无忌，你放开我们史帮主，我便收剑如何？”他不待方答应，当即还剑入鞘。他料得这一着必可收效，果然张无忌说道：“甚好。”身形一晃，已站在周芷若身边，但见她双眉深锁，神情委顿，不由得甚是怜惜，扶她在庭中一张石鼓凳上坐下。 陈友谅转向那黄衫美女，拱手说道：“芳驾惠临敝帮，不知有何教言？尊姓大名，可得见示否？”又问那丑陋女童道：“小姑娘，你这根竹棒是哪里来的？” 那黄衫美女冷冷的道：“混元霹雳手成昆在哪里？请他出来相见。”张无忌听到“混元霹雳手成昆”七字，心下大奇，却见陈友谅脸上陡然变色。但他神色迅即宁定，淡淡的道：“混元霹雳手成昆？那是金毛狮王谢逊的师父啊。你该问明教张教主才是。”黄衫美女道：“阁下是谁？”陈友谅道：“在下姓陈，草字友谅，乃丐帮的八袋长老。” 黄衫美女嘴角向史火龙一撇，问道：“这家伙是谁？模样倒是雄纠纠的一副英雄气概，怎地如此脓包？给人略加整治，便即大呼小叫，不像样子。” 群丐都感脸上无光，暗自羞惭，有些人瞧向史火龙的眼色之中，已带着三分轻蔑，两分气恼。陈友谅道：“这位便是本帮史帮主。他老人家近来大病初愈，身子不适，你是客人，我们让你三分。若再胡言乱道，得罪莫怪。”说到最后两句，已是声色俱厉。 那黄衫美女神色漠然，向一名黑衣少女道：“小翠，将那封信还了给他。”那黑衣少女应道：“是！”从怀中取出一封信来，托在手中。张无忌一瞥，见封皮上写着：“面陈明教韩大爷山童亲启”，另一行写着四个小字：“丐帮史缄。” 掌棒龙头一见那信，登时满脸紫胀，骂道：“小贱婢，原来途中一再戏弄老子的偷信贼，便是你这死丫头。”挺起手中铁棒，便要扑上前去厮拚。那黑衣少女格格一笑，说道：“我丫头是丫头，可是没死。这么大的人，连封信也看不住，不害羞。”说着纤手一扬，那封信平平稳稳的向掌棒龙头飞来。掌棒龙头当即一把抓住。 张无忌那晚曾见史火龙命掌棒龙头送信去给韩山童，以韩林儿为要挟，胁他归降丐帮，此时听了这番对答，料知必是那些白衣黑衣少女途中戏耍掌棒龙头，盗了他的书信，以致他迫得重返卢龙。但掌棒龙头武功精强，听他说话，竟是直至此刻方知戏耍他的人是谁，那么这八名少女若非有过人的机智，便是身具极高武功，更可能是那黄衫美女暗中主持，将一位丐帮高手耍得团团乱转。想到此处，不禁对那黄衫女子好生感激。 那黄衫美女说道：“韩山童起义淮泗，驱逐鞑子，道路传言，都说他仁厚好义，不扰百姓。既是这么一位英雄人物，岂能为了儿子而背叛明教，投降丐帮？你们就算将这信送到韩大爷手中，那也只自讨没趣而已。我见这位龙头大哥胡涂得可笑，又因丐帮中有件大事，须他亲自在场，才截下他的信来。” 张无忌抱拳道：“多谢大姊援手相助，张无忌有礼。”黄衫女子还了一礼，道：“不必客气。” 黄衫女子又向丐帮众人道：“你们以为擒住了韩林儿，便能逼迫韩山童投降么？掌棒龙头大哥，那日你在道上接连受阻，以为改行小道，便能避过么？嘿嘿，就算避过了，这信送到韩山童手中，于你丐帮也无好处。” 陈友谅心中一动，接过那封信来，只见封皮完好无缺，撕开封皮，抽出信笺，一瞥之下，脸色登时大变。原来一封向韩山童招降的信，已变成丐帮向明教投诚的降书，文字中卑躬屈膝，尽极谦抑，自骂过去所作所为实是万恶不赦，声称自今而后，决定痛改前非，务恳明教宽洪大量，既往不咎，收录作为下属，俾为驱赶元虏的马前先行。 黄衫女子冷笑道：“不错，这信我是瞧过啦，可不是我改的。我看了此信才知掌棒龙头早已着了人家手脚，上了大当。我念着跟丐帮上一代的渊源，不愿威名赫赫的天下第一大帮，到今日如此出丑露乖，这才截下来。你们想想，此信由丐帮掌棒龙头亲手送到了明教手中，丐帮今后还有颜面立足于江湖之上么？” 传功长老、执法长老、掌钵龙头、掌棒龙头等先后接过信来，一看之下，无不惊怒，心下却又不禁暗叫：“惭愧！”果如黄衫女子所言，这封卑辞奴言、没半分骨气的降书一落入明教之手，丐帮丑名扬于天下，所有丐帮弟子，再难在人前直立。如此说来，黄衫女子截下这封书信，实是帮了丐帮一个大忙。然则偷换书信，却又是何人？ 黑衣少女小翠笑道：“你们想问：这封信是谁换的，是不是？”丐帮不答，但人人脸上均露出急欲知晓的神色。小翠道：“掌棒龙头，你除下外袍，便知端的。” 掌棒龙头早已满脸胀得通红，颈中青筋根根凸起，听得此言，当即双手拉住外袍两边衣襟一扯，噗噗数声轻响过去，扣子尽数崩断。他向后一甩，已将外袍丢下，喝道：“那便怎地？”只听得他身后群丐齐声“咦”的惊呼，似乎瞧到了甚么怪异物事。掌棒龙头道：“甚么？”转过身来，只见六七人指着他的背脊。掌棒龙头更是焦躁，双手一阵乱扯，撕破内衫前襟，将贴肉的衣衫除下，露出一身虬缠纠结的肌肉，挥过内衫一瞧，只见衫上用靛青绘着一只青色大蝙蝠，双翼大张，狰狞可怖，口边点着几滴红色血色点。 传功长老、执法长老等齐声叫道：“青翼蝠王韦一笑！” 韦一笑从前少到中原，声名不响，但近年来在江湖上神出鬼没、大显身手，威名之盛，已颇不下于白眉鹰王。张无忌心下暗喜：“若非韦兄这等来无影、去无踪的轻功，原是难以戏弄得这掌棒龙头全无知觉。” 掌棒龙头一怔，提起那件内衫，劈脸向张无忌打来，骂道：“好啊，原来是你们这批魔崽子戏弄老夫。”张无忌衣袖一拂，那内衫被一股劲风带得冉冉上升，挂在庭中一株银杏树丫枝之上，临风飘扬，衫上那只吸血大蝙蝠更显得栩栩如生。张无忌笑道：“掌棒龙头，敝教韦蝠王手下留情，你难道不知么？他当日若要取你性命，你便怎样？”掌棒龙头一想，不由自主的打个寒噤。 陈友谅心知此事越闹越臭，只有拦下不理，是为上策。问那黄衫女子道：“请问姑娘高姓，不知与我们有何渊源。” 黄衫女子冷笑道：“跟你们有甚么渊源？我只跟这根打狗棒有些渊源。”说着向丑女童手中的青竹棒一指。 群丐早认出这是本帮帮主信物打狗棒，却不明何以会落入旁人手中，各人的眼光都瞧着史火龙，但见他脸色惨白，不知所措。传功长老问道：“帮主，这女孩拿着的打狗棒，是假的么？”史火龙道：“我……我看多半是假的。” 黄衫女子道：“好，那么你将真的打狗棒取将出来，比对比对。”史火龙道：“打狗棒是丐帮至宝，怎能轻易示人？我也没随身携带，若有失落，岂不糟糕？”群丐一听，都觉这句话不成体统，身为丐帮帮主，怎会怕打狗棒失落？ 那女童高举竹棒，大声道：“大家来看。这打狗棒是本帮……本帮一代代传下来的棒儿，怎么会假？”群丐听她口称“本帮”，暗自惊奇，走近细看，见这棒晶润如玉，坚硬胜铁，确是要本帮帮主的信物无疑。各人面面相觑，不明其理。 黄衫女子道：“素闻丐帮帮主以降龙十八掌及打狗棒法二大神功驰名天下。小虹，你先向史帮主讨教讨教降龙十八掌的功夫。小玲，你待小虹姊姊胜了之后，再向史帮主讨教讨教打狗棒法的功夫。”两名手持长箫的少女应声跃出，分站左右。 陈友谅怒道：“姑娘不肯见示姓名，已是没将丐帮放在眼中，更令两名小婢向我们帮主挑战，江湖上焉有这个道理？史帮主，待弟子先料理了这两个丫鬟，再来领教这位姑娘的高招。咱们要瞧瞧到底是何方高人，如此轻视丐帮。”史火龙道：“他奶奶的，很好，就请陈长老下场。”陈友谅刷的一声拔出长剑，缓步走到中庭。 那小虹道：“姑娘叫我讨教降龙十八掌，你会这路掌法？使降龙十八掌是用剑么？”陈友应谅喝道：“史帮主何等身分，怎能跟你小丫头动手过招？降龙十八掌的神功，岂是你小丫头轻易见得的？”说着又踏上一步。 黄衫女子向张无忌道：“张教主，我求你一件事。”张无忌道：“姑娘请说。”黄衫女子道：“请你将这姓陈的家伙撵了开去，将那冒充史帮主的大骗子揪将出来。” 张无忌先前只一招便将史火龙擒住，觉得他功夫实在平庸之极，再想起那日韩林儿一口浓痰吐去，史火龙竟然没能避开，心下早已起疑，又见他事事听陈友谅指点，自己没半点主意，凭他武功、识见，决不能为丐帮之主，这时听黄衫女子说他是“冒充帮主的大骗子”，前后一加印证，已自明白了六七成，一点头，已欺到史火龙身前。 史火龙一招“冲天炮”打出，砰的一拳，打在张无忌胸口，张无忌哈哈大笑，说道：“降龙十八掌神功，是如此脓包吗？”伸手抓住他胸口衣襟，将他提了出来。陈友谅自知非张无忌敌手，不等他动手，已自行退入了人丛之中。 那丑女童突然放声大哭，扑将上来，抓住史火龙乱撕乱打，叫道：“你害死我爹爹，害死我爹爹，你这恶贼。”史火龙被张无忌拿住后心穴道，动弹不得。他身材高大，那女童的小拳头只打到他肚子。张无忌手臂一拗，将他脑袋按了下来。那女童抓住他头发一扯，史火龙满头头发忽然尽皆跌落，露出油光晶亮的一个光头。原来他竟是个秃头，头上戴的是假发。乱抓之下，那女童忽然又抓下了他一块鼻子，却无鲜血流出。 众人惊奇已极，凝目细看，原来他鼻子低塌，那高鼻子也是假装的。群丐一阵大哗，齐问：“你是谁？怎地来冒充史帮主？” 张无忌提起他身子重重一顿，只摔得他七荤八素，半晌说不出话来。张无忌微微一笑，自行退开，心想此人冒充史火龙，真相既然大白，自有群丐跟他算帐。 掌棒龙头性如烈火，上前左右开弓，啪啪啪啪打了他七八个重重的耳光。那假帮主双颊红肿，大叫：“不干我事，不干我事。是陈……陈长老叫我干的。”执法长老心头一凛，喝道：“陈友谅呢？”却已不见陈友谅人影，料想他一见事情败露，早已逃之夭夭。执法长老道：“快追他回来！”数名七袋弟子应声而出，追出门去。 掌棒龙头骂道：“直娘贼！你是甚么东西，要老子向你磕头，叫你帮主。”提起蒲扇大的巴掌，又要往他脸上掴去。执法长老忙伸手格开，说道：“冯兄弟不可鲁莽。你一掌打死了他甚么事都查不出来了。”转身向那黄衫女子抱掌行礼恭恭敬敬地道：“若非姑娘拆穿此人奸谋，我们至今兀自蒙在鼓里。姑娘芳名可能见示否，敝帮上下，同感大德。” 黄衫女子淡淡一笑，道：“小女子幽居深山，自来不与外人往还，姓名也没什么用处。至于这一位小妹妹，你们之中难道没人认得她吗？” 群丐瞧着这个女童，没一人认得。传功长老忽地心念一动，踏上一步，道：“她……她……她的相貌有点像史帮夫人哪……莫非……莫非……” 黄衫女子道：“不错，她姓史名红石，是史火龙史帮主的独生女儿。史帮主临危之时，要他夫人抱了这孩子，携带打狗棒前来找我，替他报仇雪恨。” 传功长老惊道：“姑娘！你说史帮已经归天了？他……他老人家是怎么死的？” 上代丐帮帮所传的那降龙十八掌，在耶律齐手中便已没能学全，此后丐帮历任帮主，最多也只学到十四掌为止。史火龙所学到的共有十二掌，他在二十余年之前，因苦练这门掌法时内力不济，得了上半身瘫痪之症，双臂不能转，自此携同妻子，到各处深山寻觅灵药治病，将丐帮帮务交与传功、执法二长老，掌棒、掌钵二龙头共同处理。 但二长老、二龙头不相统属，各管各的，帮中污衣净衣两派又积不相能，以致偌大一个丐帮渐趋式微。待这假帮主最近突然现身，年轻的丐帮弟子从未见过帮主，而传功长老等人和史火龙一别二十余年，见这假帮主相貌甚似，又有谁想得到竟会是假冒的？ 黄衫女子叹了口气，说道：“史帮主是丧生在混元霹雳手成昆的手下。” 张无忌“咦”了一声，心想自己在光明顶上亲眼见到成昆尸横就地，怎么会去杀死史火龙？那么定是他在上光明顶之前干的事了，问道：“请问姑娘，史帮主丧生已有多久了？”黄衫女子道：“去年十月初六，距今两月有余。”张无忌道：“这就奇了。不知姑娘何以知道是成昆那老贼下的毒手。” 黄衫女子道：“史夫人言道：史帮主和一名老者连对一十二掌，那老者呕血而走。史帮主也为那老者掌力所伤。史帮主自知伤重不治，料想那老者三日之后，必定元气恢复，重来寻衅，当即向夫人嘱咐后事，说出仇人姓名，乃是混元霹雳手成昆。史帮主双臂瘫痪之症，其时已愈了九成，他曾得降龙十八掌中的十二掌真传，武功已是江湖上一流高手，但竭尽全力，十二掌使完，仍是难逃敌人毒手。”女童史红石听到这里，放声大哭起来。 传功长老脸现悲愤之色，将肮脏的衣袖替史红石擦去泪水，说道：“小世妹，帮主之仇，即我帮上下数万弟子之仇，咱们终当擒住那混元霹雳手成昆，碎尸万段，以报帮主的大恨。不知你妈妈眼下在哪里？” 史红石指着黄衫女子，说道：“我妈妈在杨姊姊家里养伤。”众人直至此时，方知那黄衫美女姓杨，至于她是何等人物，仍是猜不到半点端倪。 黄衫女子轻轻叹了口气，说道：“史夫人也挨了成昆一掌，伤势着实不轻，长途跋涉来到舍下，已然奄奄一息，今后是否能够痊可，那也……那也难说。” 执法长老恨恨的道：“这成昆不知跟老帮主有何仇怨，竟尔下此毒手？”黄衫女子道：“据史夫人转述史帮主遗言，他和这成昆素不相识，仇怨两字，更是无从说起。因此他老人家直到临终，仍是不明原由。据史夫人推测，多半是丐帮中人甚么地方得罪了成昆，因而找到史帮主头上。”执法长老沉吟道：“这成昆为了躲避谢逊，数十年前便已在江湖上销声匿迹，不知所终，丐帮弟子怎能和他结仇？看来其中必有重大误会。” 掌钵龙头一直在旁静听，一言不发，这时突然抓起一柄弯刀，架在那假冒史火龙的秃子颈中，喝道：“你叫甚么名字？为甚么胆敢假冒史帮主？快快说来，若有半字虚言，哼，哼！”说着弯刀一斜，将一张椅子劈为两半，随即又架在那秃子颈中。 那秃子吓得魂不附体，道：“我……我……小人名叫癞头鼋刘敖，本是山西解县乱石冈山寨中的一名头目，这天下山做没本钱的买卖，撞到了陈友谅陈长老，还有陈长老的师父。陈长老一脚将小人踢翻了，提剑要杀，小人连忙磕头求饶。陈长老对小人左瞧右瞧，忽然说道：'师父，这小贼挺像咱们前天所见的那个人哪。'他师父摇头道：'嘿嘿，年纪不对，鼻子塌了，又是个秃头。'陈长老笑道：'弟子有法子弄他像来。'于是叫小人跟着他们到解县，住在客店之中。陈长老去弄了些石膏，装高了小人鼻子，又叫我戴上假的白头发，乔扮成这等模样……各位老爷，小人便有天大的胆子，也不敢来戏弄诸位，只是陈长老这么说，小人只好这么干。小人狗命一条，全捏在他手里，那……那是无可奈何，小人家中尚有八十岁的老娘，众位大爷饶命则个。”说着双膝跪倒，磕头便如捣蒜。 执法长老沉吟道：“陈友谅出身少林派，他师父是少林寺的高僧，他……他还有甚么师父？” 这一言提醒了张无忌，当即接口道：“不错，他师父便是成昆。”于是将成昆化名圆真、混入少林寺拜神僧空见为师等情简略说了，跟着又说圆真如何偷袭光明顶，终于为殷野王所击毙，但尸身却又突然失踪。 掌钵龙头和执法长老齐声道：“此事已无可疑。在光明顶上，成昆乃是假死，混乱之中悄悄溜走了。”传功长老怒道：“原来罪魁祸首竟是陈友谅这奸贼。他师徒二人野心勃勃，妄图独霸天下，是以害死了史帮主，命这小毛贼冒充，做他们傀儡，再想进一步挟制明教，笼络少林、武当、峨嵋三大派。这奸计不可谓不毒，野心不可谓不大。宋青书呢？宋青书到哪里去了？”各人这些时候中只注视着丐帮帮主、黄衫女子、史红石等人，没防到宋青书竟也步着陈友谅后尘，不知何时溜之大吉了。 说到此时，印证各事，陈友谅的奸计终于全盘暴露。 传功长老向黄衫女子深深一揖，说道：“姑娘有大德于敝帮，丐帮不知何以为报。” 黄衫女子淡淡一笑，笑道：“我先人和贵帮上代渊源甚深，些些微劳，何足挂齿？这位史家小妹妹，你们好好照顾。”躬身一礼，黄影一闪，已掠上屋顶。 传功长老叫道：“姑娘且请留步。” 那
