Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty

When Shanzheng heard Qiao Feng's deafening roar, he felt dizzy for a while, staggered and couldn't stand upright.The heroes all involuntarily took a few steps back.Shan Xiaoshan rushed up from the side, and stabbed out with a straight knife. Seeing that the tip of the knife was less than a foot away from Qiao Feng's chest, and he had no intention of resisting, Elder Wu of the Beggar Clan, Bai Shijing and others all closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch. All of a sudden, there was a whistling in the air, and a person rushed down, his momentum was extremely urgent, and he happened to bump into Shan Xiaoshan's steel knife.Shan Xiaoshan couldn't resist the force, and his arm dropped.Amidst the exclamation of all the heroes, another person rushed down from midair, but it was head and foot, and the general momentum was extremely urgent. With a bang, Tianling Gai hit Shan Xiaoshan on the head, and the two of them simultaneously Brain burst.

The group of heroes began to see clearly that the two people who jumped down one after another were originally guarding the roof to prevent Qiao Feng from escaping, but they were captured and thrown down like hidden weapons.There was a sudden chaos in the hall, and the heroes shouted in alarm.Suddenly, a long rope was thrown from the corner of the roof, with fierce force, it swept towards the heads of the crowd, and all the heroes raised their weapons to block.The long rope was twisted around, wrapped around Qiao Feng's waist, and then he lifted it up. At this moment, Qiao Feng's three wounds were bleeding profusely, and his left hand holding A'Zhu had no strength at all, as soon as it was wrapped up by the long rope, A'Zhu immediately rolled to the ground.Everyone saw that at the other end of the long rope was a big man in black, standing on the roof, with a burly figure, his face was covered with a black cloth, and only his eyes were exposed.

The big man held Qiao Feng under his side with his left hand, and the long rope was thrown out, wrapping around the tall flagpole of Juxian Manor outside the gate.The heroes shouted loudly, and all kinds of hidden weapons, such as steel darts, sleeve arrows, throwing knives, iron cones, locust stones, and hand arrows, all shot at Qiao Feng and the big man.The big man in black pulled the long rope, flew up slowly, and fell into the flag bucket on the flagpole.There were endless noises of thumping, clapping, wiping, and dozens of hidden weapons hit the flag bucket.I saw the long rope being thrown out from the flag bucket and winding towards a big tree eight or nine zhang away. The big man carried Qiao Feng on his arms and swung out of the flag bucket. Zhang landed.He then swung the long rope again, and then circled the big tree in the distance. After such a few ups and downs, he disappeared without a trace.

The heroes looked at each other in amazement, but when they heard the sound of horseshoes, they galloped away and could no longer catch up.
Although Qiao Feng was seriously injured, his sanity was not lost. The big man rescued him with a long rope, and he could see every move clearly. I can do it too, but using a long rope as a weapon and swinging at dozens of people at the same time, I can't make it as perfect as he does with the soft whip skill of 'Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers'." The big man in black put him on the horseback, and the two of them rode together and headed northward.The big man took out the golden medicine and applied it to Qiao Feng's three wounds.Qiao Feng bled profusely and was extremely weak.I wanted to faint a few times, but every time I took a breath, the inner breath circulated, and my spirit was lifted.The big man rode his horse straight to the northwest, and after walking for a while, the road became more and more rugged, until there was no road at all, and the horse was limping along among the piles of rubble.

After walking for more than half an hour, the horse could no longer go. The big man held Qiao Feng in his arms, dismounted and climbed up a mountain.Qiao Feng's body was very heavy, but the big man seemed to hold him effortlessly, even though he was on a very steep place, he still leaped like flying.At last, there was no space between several dangerous walls, so the big man flew across the gorge with a long rope, entangled in the branches and jumped over.The man crossed eight dangerous gorges one after another, followed all the way down, and went deep into a deep valley where the sky could not be seen. Finally, he stood still and put Qiao Feng down.

Qiao Feng tried his best to stand still, and said: "I dare not say thanks for my kindness, I just ask Brother En to let Qiao Feng see the real face of Mount Lu." The big man turned his bright eyes around his face, and after a while, he said: "There is enough dry food for half a month in the cave, you can recuperate here, the enemy can't come." Qiao Feng replied: "Yes!" He said in his heart: "Judging from this man's voice, it seems that he is not young." The big man sized him up for a while, then suddenly swung his right hand out and slapped him across the face.This strike was extremely fast, firstly, Qiao Feng never expected that he would hit him, secondly, this palm was really extremely skillful, and he couldn't avoid it.

The big man followed with the second strike, the distance between the two palms was only a flash like lightning, Qiao Feng had this leeway, but how could he let him hit again?But he was the savior, he didn't want to confront him, and he was unable to dodge him, so he stretched out the index finger of his left hand, put it on his cheek, and pointed to his palm. The index finger was pointing towards the "Laogong acupoint" on the big man's palm, he slapped it towards Qiao Feng's cheek, the important acupoint on his palm had to touch his finger first.The big man's palm was less than a foot away from Qiao Feng's cheek, he immediately flipped his palm and hit him with the back of his hand, this change of move was extremely fast.Qiao Feng also turned his fingers extremely quickly, and the fingertips met the "Erjian Point" on the back of his hand.

The big man let out a long laugh, withdrew his right hand abruptly, and slashed forward with his left hand.Qiao Feng stretched out the fingers of his left hand, and the fingertips were aligned with the "Houhuo point" on the edge of his palm.The big man raised his arm suddenly, and the momentum continued, Qiao Feng moved his finger in time, pointing to the "Qiangu point" on the edge of his palm.In an instant, the big man danced with both palms, and changed more than ten moves in a row. Qiao Feng only defended but not attacked, and his fingers were always pointing at the acupuncture points that his palms would hit.The big man slapped him unexpectedly for the first time, and then he couldn't slap him again.The two made a false connection, both of which are rare and superior martial arts in the world.

The big man had completed his twentieth move, and seeing that Qiao Feng was still seriously injured, he still changed his moves extremely quickly, recognized the acupoints with great accuracy, suddenly withdrew his palms and jumped back, saying: "You are so stupid, I shouldn't have rescued him in the first place. You." Qiao Feng said: "I would like to accept the advice of my benefactor." The man scolded: "You stinky mule, you have practiced such invincible martial arts, how can you give your life for a skinny girl? She is not related to you, and she is ungrateful and righteous. What a beautiful woman with a country and a city is just a lowly little girl. How can there be such a fool as you in the world?"

Qiao Feng sighed, and said: "Your benefactor taught you the right thing. Qiao Feng thought it was useful, so it was inappropriate for him to do something useless. It was just that he was angry for a while, and he burst out with brute force, so he didn't think about the consequences." The big man said: "Hehe, it turned out to be a violent attack." He raised his head to the sky and laughed aloud. Qiao Feng only felt that there was a sense of sadness and indignation in his long laughter, and he couldn't help being stunned.Suddenly, I saw the big man standing up, jumped more than ten feet, his body flickered, and he disappeared behind a big rock.Qiao Feng shouted: "Engong, Engong!" But he saw him jumping one after another, turning around the mountain gorge, and went far away.Qiao Feng only took a step, but he was on the verge of falling, and quickly stretched out his hand to support the mountain wall.

He collected himself, turned around, and saw a cave behind the stone wall.Holding on to the mountain wall, he walked slowly into the cave, and saw that there were a lot of cooked meat, fried rice, dates, peanuts, dried fish and other dry food on the ground. What's more, there was a large jar of wine.Opening the jar, the aroma of the wine rushed straight to the nose, reached into the jar, scooped up one hand and drank it, the taste was sweet, it was the finest wine.He was grateful in his heart: "It's rare that this benefactor is so considerate. Knowing that I am greedy for drinking, he has prepared wine here. The mountain road is so difficult, isn't it troublesome to carry this big wine jar?" The gold-chuang medicine that the big man applied to him was extremely effective, and the bleeding had been stopped at this moment, and after several hours, the pain gradually subsided.He is in good health, with profound inner strength, and the injuries he suffered were only skin injuries, although not light, but after seven or eight days, the wounds have already healed by half. During these seven or eight days, he only thought of two things: "Who is the enemy who killed me? Who is the benefactor who saved me?" Both of these two people's martial arts are very good, and it is expected that neither of them is behind him. Now, there are very few people in the martial arts world who have this skill, and they can count them all by bending their fingers, but after thinking about it, they are not like anyone.The enemy can't guess it, so that's fine, but this benefactor has split twenty tricks with himself, and he should have known his family's sect, but every move of his is ordinary, showing greatness amidst the simplicity. His ability is like the "Taizu Changquan" he used in Juxianzhuang, and the origin of his identity is never revealed in the moves. In the first two days, he drank the jar of wine upside down, and it lasted for twenty days. He felt that the wound had healed by 70% to 80%, and he became addicted to alcohol. Guessing that there is no hindrance in jumping over the gorge and over the valley, he walked out of the cave, crossed mountains and ridges, and waded across rivers and lakes. Thinking in his heart: "Ah Zhu fell into their hands, if she dies, she is already dead. If she can live, I don't need to take care of her anymore. The first important thing is to find out what kind of person I am. Parents Master, passed away within a day, the mystery of my life experience is even more difficult to understand, I have to go outside the Yanmen Pass to see the posthumous inscription on the stone wall." The plan has been made, head northwest to the town, and drink about twenty bowls of wine first.Only three days passed, and the few taels of silver left around were all turned into fine wine and drank up.
At that time, the Great Song Fu had Zhongtu, and the world was divided into fifteen roads.With Daliang as the capital, it is called Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, Luoyang is called Xijing Henan Prefecture, Songzhou is Nanjing, and Daming Prefecture is called Beijing, which are the four capitals.Qiao Feng was in Ruzhou on Jingxi Road at that time, and he came to Liang County today, his money was gone, he sneaked into the county government that night and stole hundreds of taels of silver from the public treasury.He ate and drank a lot along the way, chicken, duck, fish, sorghum and wine, all paid for by the officials of the Song Dynasty.In a few days, I came to Daizhou on Hedong Road. Yanmen Pass is located on Yanmen Dangerous Road 30 miles north of Daizhou.Qiao Feng used to be a knight in the rivers and lakes, and he had been there before, but at that time he had something important to do, so he passed by in a hurry and never paid attention to it.It was already early noon when he arrived in Daizhou, he had a full meal in the city, drank more than ten bowls of wine, and then left the city to head north. His footsteps were swift, and it took less than half an hour to cover the thirty miles.When I came up to the mountain, I saw the steep rocks in the east and west, and the winding and rugged road in the middle. It was indeed an extremely dangerous place. I thought: "The geese travel south and return to the north, and it is difficult to fly over the peak. They all pass between the two peaks, so they are called Yanmen. Today I come from the south. If the handwriting on the stone wall proves that I am a Khitan, then after Qiao Mou leaves Yanmen Pass this time, he will always be a person from the north of the Great Wall and will never enter the pass again. It would be better for Yaner once a year Travel north and south, freely." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a sore heart. Yanmen Pass is an important town in the northern part of the Song Dynasty. There are more than 40 passes in Shanxi, and Yanmen Pass is the most powerful. Once you leave the pass for tens of miles, you will be in the land of the Liao Kingdom, so there are heavy troops stationed at the pass.Qiao Feng thought that if he passed through the closed gate, he would inevitably be interrogated by the officers and soldiers of the gate, so he took a detour through Gaoling in Kansai. When I came to Jue Ling, I looked around, but I saw Fanzhi, Wutai towering in the east, Ningwu Mountains in the west, Zhengyang and Shigu stand in the south, and Shuozhou and Mayi in the north, with long slopes and steep slopes. Boundless, cold forest and desert, the scene is bleak.Qiao Feng recalled that when he passed through Yanmen Pass, he had heard from his companions that during the Warring States period Li Mu, a general of the Zhao State, and Zhidu, a general of the Han Dynasty, had all garrisoned at Yanmen to defend against the invasion of the Huns.If I am really a descendant of the Huns and Khitans, then those who have invaded China for more than a thousand years are all my ancestors. Looking at the terrain to the north, I thought: "That day when the leader of the gang, Zhao Qiansun and others ambushed the Khitan warriors outside the Yanmen Pass, they decided to choose a hillside with the most favorable position. Within ten miles to the left, the best terrain was the northwest corner. This is the side of the mountain. Nine times out of ten, they will definitely set up an ambush here." Now I ran down the ridge and came to the side of the mountain.Suddenly, I felt a burst of sadness for no reason, and saw a big rock on the side of the mountain. Master Zhiguang said that the heroes of the Central Plains were lying behind the big rock and shooting out poison-feeding hidden weapons. It seemed to be this rock. A few steps away from the mountain road, there is a deep valley, but the valley is covered by clouds and fog, and the bottom is not visible.Qiao Feng thought to himself: "If Master Zhiguang's words are true, then after my mother was killed by them, my father jumped down from here into the ravine and committed suicide. After he jumped into the ravine, he couldn't bear to take me to die with him, so he threw me up again, fell On the body of Chief Wang. He... what did he write on the stone wall?" Looking back, I looked at the mountain wall on the right, and saw that the mountain wall was naturally flat and smooth, but on a large piece of rock in the middle, it was full of traces of chiseling. It was obvious that someone deliberately cut the handwriting went. Qiao Feng stood dumbfounded in front of the stone wall, he couldn't help getting angry, he just wanted to swing his sword and raise his palm to kill randomly, and suddenly remembered something: "When I left the Beggars' Clan, I once swore off the steel sword of Shanzheng, saying: I am a Han. Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s a Khitan, I’m determined not to kill a single Han. But how many people did I kill in one fell swoop at Juxian Village? Wouldn’t it be a big breach of my oath if I wanted to kill someone now? Well, this is the end of the matter, I won’t offend anyone. If you come to attack me, if you wait to be killed and let others slaughter you, is it the behavior of a man?" He ran thousands of miles in order to find out his life experience, but there was no result.My heart became more and more irritable, and I shouted loudly: "I am not a Han, I am not a Han! I am a Khitan Hulu, I am a Khitan Hulu!" He raised his hand and slashed at the mountain wall with his palm.I could only hear the sounds of the valleys in the surrounding area, one after another: "It's not Han people, it's not Han people!...Khitan Hulu, Khitan Hulu!" Stone chips splashed all over the mountain wall.Qiao Feng's heart was full of anger, and he continued to slash away with palm after palm, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered in the past month to this stone wall. In the end, his palms bleed, and blood flowed one by one. His handprints were slapped on the stone wall, and he didn't stop. When he was hitting, he suddenly heard a crisp female voice behind him saying: "Master Qiao, if you keep hitting, this mountain will be knocked down by you." Qiao Feng was startled, turned around, and saw a young girl leaning against the tree under a flowering tree by the hillside, wearing a light red shirt, with a smile on her lips, it was Ah Zhu. He went to save her that day, but he was just agitated for a moment, and he didn't pay much attention to the little girl herself. Later, he was so preoccupied with her life and death that he ignored it. Unexpectedly, she suddenly appeared here. Qiao Feng was surprised, but he was also happy, he went up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Ah Zhu, are you recovering?" It's just that after he was furious, his anger turned into joy, the smile on his face was rather forced. A'Zhu said: "Master Qiao, hello!" She stared at Qiao Feng for a moment, then suddenly threw herself into his arms and cried, "Master Qiao, I...I have been waiting for you here for five days Wuye, I'm afraid you won't be able to come. You... You really came, thank God for your blessing, you are finally safe and well." She spoke these few words intermittently, but the words were full of joy and comfort. Qiao Feng knew that she cared for him very much, and asked, "Why did you wait for me here for five days and five nights? Why did you wait here for me?" ... how did you know I would come here?" A'Zhu slowly raised his head, and suddenly thought that he was lying in the arms of a man, his face flushed, and he took two steps back, and then remembered that he couldn't help himself, his face flushed even more, and suddenly he turned around and sprinted, turning around Arrived behind the tree. Qiao Feng called out: "Hey, A'Zhu, A'Zhu, what are you doing?" A'Zhu didn't answer, she just felt her heart beating wildly, and after a long time, she came out from behind the tree, her face still quite shy Meaning, for a while, he was speechless.Seeing her strange expression, Qiao Feng said: "Ah Zhu, you have something to hide, just tell me. We are friends in adversity, we have lived and died together, so why should we have any scruples?" A'Zhu's face Yihong again, said: "No." Qiao Feng gently held her shoulders, turned her cheeks to the sunlight, and saw that although her complexion was very haggard, there was faint blush on her pale face, which was no longer the ashen look she had when she was seriously injured that day, so he stretched out his finger Take her pulse.A'Zhu's wrist touched his fingers, and his whole body trembled suddenly.Qiao Feng said: "What? Is there any other discomfort?" A'Zhu blushed again, and hurriedly said: "No, no...no." Qiao Feng pressed her pulse, but felt the beating was smooth, comfortable and powerful, He praised: "Miracle Doctor Xue has rejuvenated his body with wonderful hands, and he really lives up to his reputation." A'Zhu said: "Thanks to your good friend Elder Bai Shijing, who promised to teach him the seven moves of 'Wrapping Silk Grasping Hands', Divine Doctor Xue treated my wounds. More importantly, they want to find out the whereabouts of that Mr. in black , if I die right now, they won't be able to ask me anything. My injury is a little better, and there are always seven or eight people who come to question me every day: "Who are you, Qiao Feng, that villain?" "Where did he escape to?" place?" "Who was the big man in black who rescued him?" I didn't know these things at first, but I honestly answered that I didn't know. It’s a big deal, so I made up stories for them. I made up the most absurd story about the gentleman in black. One day I said he was from Kunlun Mountains, and the next day I said that he had studied art in Donghai, talking nonsense to them, seriously. But it's interesting." Speaking of this, recalling those days when he talked nonsense and played tricks on many famous heroes in the world, he still had more joy in his heart, and the smile on his face was like a spring flower blooming. Qiao Feng smiled and said: "Do they believe it or not?" A'Zhu said: "Some believe it, some don't believe it, most of them are half-believing. I guess none of them know the origin of that Mr. in black, and no one can testify I was wrong, so my stories became more and more bizarre, so as to make them suspicious and frightened." Qiao Feng sighed: "I don't know the origin of this gentleman in black. I'm afraid I heard your story If you talk nonsense, I will be dubious." A Zhuqi said: "Don't you recognize him? Then why did he take the risk and rescue you from the dragon's lake and tiger's lair? Well, that's what a hero who saves people in danger is like." Qiao Feng sighed, and said: "I don't know who I should take revenge on, and I don't know who I should repay favors to. I don't know if I am a Han or a Hu, and I don't know whether what I did is right or wrong. Qiao Feng, Qiao Feng, You really are a vain human being." Seeing his miserable expression, A'Zhu couldn't help stretching out his hand, held his palm, and comforted him: "Master Qiao, why do you need to suffer yourself? There will always be a day when all kinds of troubles come to light. You just need to have a clear conscience and act rightly." Live in heaven and earth, that's fine." Qiao Feng said: "It's just that I have a guilty conscience, that's why I'm sad. That day in the apricot forest, I swore with my knife that I would never kill a Han person, but...but..." A'Zhu said: "These people in Juxian Manor are besieging you indiscriminately. If you don't fight back, are you going to let them chop them into seventeen or twenty-eight yuan? There is no such reason in the world!" Qiao Feng said: "That's true." He was a good man who could afford to mention and let go, but when he felt sad for a while, he put it aside and said: "Zhan Master Zhiguang and Zhao Qiansun both It is said that there are words written on the stone wall, but I don’t know who chiseled it out.” A'Zhu said: "Yes, I guess you will go outside the Yanmen Pass to see the writing on the stone wall, so once you get out of danger, you will come here to wait for you." Qiao Feng asked: "How did you get out of danger? Did Elder Bai save you again?" A'Zhu smiled and said: "That's not true. You remember that I once played the monk of Shaolin Temple, don't you? Even their senior brothers I can't recognize it." Qiao Feng said: "That's right, your naughty skills are really good." A'Zhu said: "That day my injury was healed, Doctor Xue said that there is no need for further treatment, just rest for seven or eight days, Then I can recover. I made up those stories, gradually there were more and more flaws, and I got a little tired of making up, and I missed you, so this night, I disguised myself as a different person." Qiao Feng said: "Disguise again? But who did you pretend to be?" A'Zhu said: "I'm pretending to be Miracle Doctor Xue." Qiao Feng was slightly startled, and said: "You pretend to be Miracle Doctor Xue, how do you pretend?" A'Zhu said: "He sees me every day, talks the most, I know his appearance and demeanor the most, and he is the only one who often talks to me. Alone together. That night I pretended to faint, and he came to give me my pulse, and I grabbed his pulse door with a backhand. He couldn't move, so he had to be at my mercy." Qiao Feng couldn't help being amused, and thought to himself: "This genius doctor Xue only cares about treating diseases, how could he think that this little devil is cheating." A'Zhu said: "I tapped his acupoints, and took off his clothes, shoes and socks. I am not very good at acupressure, and I was afraid that he would open the acupoints by himself, so I tore off the quilt, tied up his hands and feet, and put him on the bed On the bed, I covered him with a quilt. Someone saw me from the window and thought I was sleeping with my head covered. No one would suspect me. I put on his clothes, shoes and hats, and piled up wrinkles on my face, and I looked like seven parts. Yes, only a beard is missing." Qiao Feng said: "Well, Miracle Doctor Xue's beard is half black and half white, so it's not easy to fake it." A'Zhu said: "It doesn't look like a fake, after all it's better to use the real one." Qiao Feng wondered: "Using the real one? "A'Zhu said: "Yes, really. I took out a small knife from his medicine box and shaved off his beard, sticking each one on my face. The color and appearance are not wrong at all. Xue The genius doctor must be very angry, but what can he do? He healed my injury, he did not have the heart. I shave his beard, and it is not a revenge. Besides, after shaving his beard, he seems to be more than ten years younger. Much handsomer." Having said that, the two laughed at each other. A'Zhu smiled and continued: "I pretended to be Doctor Xue and walked out of Juxian Village in a big way. Of course, no one dared to ask any questions. I asked someone to prepare the horse, took the money, and left now. Thirty thirty from the village Here, I ripped off my beard and I became a young lad. Those people never found out until the next morning. But I changed along the way, and they couldn't find me." Qiao Feng applauded: "Wonderful! Wonderful!" Suddenly, he remembered that he had seen his own back in the bronze mirror of the Bodhi Court of Shaolin Temple. She talked about refitting to escape danger, and suddenly felt this uneasiness, and it was even stronger than when she was in Shaolin Temple that day, she muttered: "Turn around and show me." A'Zhu didn't understand his intention, so he followed the words turn around. Qiao Feng pondered for a while, then took off his coat and put it on her body. A'Zhu blushed, looked back at him tenderly, and said, "I'm not cold." Seeing her wearing his coat, Qiao Feng's heart brightened immediately, he turned his palm over, grabbed her wrist, and said sharply: "So it's you! Who ordered you, please tell me quickly." A'Zhu was startled, He said tremblingly, "Master Qiao, what's the matter?" Qiao Feng said, "You used to pretend to be me, didn't you?" It turned out that at this time he suddenly remembered that that day when he rushed to rescue the brothers of the Beggar Clan in Wuxi, he saw a person's back on the road, but he didn't pay attention to it at that time, until he saw his back in the bronze mirror of the Bodhi Court, he vaguely remembered it. , that person's back is no different from his own, and that sense of uneasiness arises from this, but his mind is fuzzy, and he doesn't know what it is for. He rushed to rescue the heroes of the Beggar Clan that day, when he arrived, everyone was out of danger, and everyone said that they met him not long ago.Although he denied it, no one believed him.At that time, he was baffled and believed that there was no other reason than someone pretending to be himself.But if you want to pretend to be yourself, you can't even recognize Bai Shijing, Elder Wu, etc. who you meet every day, how easy is it?At this moment, when he saw A'Zhu's back in his own coat, and confirmed it back and forth, he suddenly understood.Although there is no cotton pad on A'Zhu's body at this time, this thin and timid back is quite different from his burly and majestic appearance, but if she can pretend to be herself and hide the truth from the gangsters of the beggar gang, there is no one else in the world besides her. who? But A'Zhu was not alarmed, he chuckled and said: "Okay, I have to confess." Then he told how he disguised his appearance and used the antidote to save the heroes of the beggar gang. Qiao Feng let go of her wrist, and said sharply, "What's the point of you pretending that I'm going to save someone?" A'Zhu was very surprised, and said: "I was just joking. You saved me and Abi from the Xixia people, and I'm both very grateful. I saw those beggars treated you so badly, so I thought I'd disguise you, It’s also good to get rid of the poison on them and make them feel ashamed.” Sighing, he continued: “Who knew they were still so vicious to you in Juxian Village, and they don’t remember the old days at all. kindness." Qiao Feng's face became more and more serious, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then why did you pretend to be me to kill my parents? Why did you sneak into Shaolin Temple to kill my master?" A'Zhu jumped up and shouted: "What's the matter? Who said I killed your parents? Killed your master?" Qiao Feng said: "My master was wounded by someone. When he saw me, he said that I did it. Could it be you?" He raised his right palm slightly, his face full of murderous intent. , as long as she didn't answer well, ten ahzhus would be killed immediately with this palm. Seeing that his face was full of murderous looks and his eyes were full of anger, A'Zhu felt very frightened, and couldn't help but took two steps back.As long as you take two steps back, you will be in the abyss. Qiao Feng said sharply: "Stand, don't move!" A Zhu was so frightened that tears rolled down his cheeks, he said in a trembling voice: "I didn't...kill your parents, didn't... didn't kill your master. Your master is so... so powerful, how could I kill him? " Her last two words were extremely powerful. When Qiao Feng heard it, his heart shivered. He immediately knew that he had wronged her. He stretched out his left hand like lightning, grabbed her shoulder, and pulled her close to the mountain wall, lest she stumble. Going down to the deep valley, he said: "That's right, you didn't kill my master." His master, Master Xuan Ku, was a brother of Xuan Ci, Xuan Ji, and Xuan Nan.The reason why he died was not from being poisoned, let alone being injured by a hidden weapon, but because his internal organs were shattered by the extremely powerful palm force.How could Ah Zhu have such profound inner strength at such a young age?If her internal energy could shock Master Xuan Ku to death, then Xuan Ci's Great Vajra Palm would definitely not shock her to death. A'Zhu laughed through tears, patted his chest, and said: "You almost scared me to death, and what you say is too unreasonable. If I have the ability to kill your master, I won't help you in Juxian Village." Those rascals?" Qiao Feng saw that she was mildly annoyed, he felt apologetic, and said: "These days, I've been in a state of mind and talking nonsense, girl, don't blame me." Ah Zhu said with a smile: "Who's going to blame you? If I blame you, I won't talk to you." Then he put away his smile and said softly: "Uncle Qiao, no matter what you do to me, I will never treat you like that in my whole life. will blame you." Qiao Feng shook his head, and said indifferently: "Although I saved you, don't take it to heart." Frowning, he was dazed, and suddenly asked: "Ah Zhu, who taught you the art of disguise? Yours? Does your master have any other disciples?" A'Zhu shook his head and said, "Nobody taught it. I liked to pretend to be someone else when I was young, and the more I learned, the more I pretended to be like him. How can there be any master here?" ? Do you have to worship the master when you are playing?" Qiao Feng sighed, and said: "This is really strange, there is actually another person in the world who looks so much like me that my master mistook me for it." A'Zhu said: "Since there is such a clue, it will be easy Let's go find this person and torture him." Qiao Feng said: "Yes, but in the vast crowd, it is extremely difficult to find this person. Most likely he is also like you, also disguised himself A good job." He approached the mountain wall, staring at the chisel marks on the stone wall, trying to find out what characters were originally carved on the stone, but looking left and right, he couldn't make out a single word, and said, "I'm going to find Master Zhiguang and ask What kind of words are written on his stone wall? If you don't find out about this, you will have trouble sleeping and eating." A'Zhu said: "I'm afraid he won't say it." Qiao Feng said: "Most likely he won't say it, but if he insists on it, I always have to tell him, so I will give up." A'Zhu pondered: "Master Zhiguang It seems to be very tough, not afraid of death, hard and soft, I'm afraid it won't work. Or..." Qiao Feng nodded and said: "That's right, I'd better ask Zhao Qiansun. Well, this Zhao Qiansun probably would rather die than surrender, But I have a way to deal with him." When he said this, he glanced at the abyss beside him, and said: "I want to go down and have a look." A'Zhu was startled, looked twice at the valley entrance surrounded by clouds and mist, walked a few steps away, Afraid of accidentally falling down, he said: "No, no! Don't go down. What's so interesting about going down?" Qiao Feng said, "Whether I am a Han or a Khitan, this matter is always in my heart Circling endlessly. I want to go down to investigate and see the body of that Khitan man." A'Zhu said: "It's been thirty years since that man fell down, and there are only a few bones left, what else can we see?" Qiao Feng said: "I just want to see his bones. I think, if he is really my real father, I have to pick up his bones and bury him properly." A'Zhu said sharply: "No, no! You are kind and chivalrous, how can you be the descendant of the cruel and vicious Khitan people." Qiao Feng said: "You wait here for me all day and one night, if I haven't come up by this time tomorrow, you don't have to wait." A'Zhu was in a hurry, cried out with a cry, and shouted, "Master Qiao, don't go down!" Qiao Feng's heart was very hard, he didn't move at all, he smiled slightly and said: "All these heroes in Juxian Village can't beat me to death. Could it be that this mere valley can kill me?" A'Zhu couldn't think of anything to dissuade him, so he could only say: "Maybe there are many poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, or some vicious monsters down there." Qiao Feng laughed loudly, patted her on the shoulder, and said: "If there is a monster, it would be the best. I will catch it for you to play with." He looked around Taniguchi, looking for a place where he could barely lay his feet. The cliff, spiraling down the valley.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the faint sound of horseshoes on the northeast corner, galloping south, there were always more than twenty horsemen.Qiao Feng quickly walked around the hillside and looked around where the horseshoes sounded.He was on a high place, and he saw these twenty or so riders in yellow clothes and yellow armor, all of them were officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, lining up in a row, running along the mountain path on the high slope below. Qiao Feng saw who was coming and didn't take it seriously, it's just that he and A'Zhu were in the main way to enter the pass from outside the Great Wall, that's why the heroes of the Central Plains chose to ambush the Khitan warriors here.I thought that this place is a dangerous place for frontier defense, and the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty saw strangers staying here, most of them wanted to interrogate them, but they avoided them to avoid trouble.Returning to the original place, he pulled A'Zhu to hide behind the boulder, and said, "It's the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty!" Not long after, the more than twenty cavalry officers and soldiers galloped up the ridge.Qiao Feng hid behind the rock, and he saw the leader of an officer, he couldn't help but feel quite touched: "Back then, Gang Leader Wang, Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun and others, most of them also ambushed behind this big rock, watching the Khitan warriors gallop like this. Come up to the mountains. The peaks and rocks are still there today, but most of the warriors from the Song and Liao Dynasties were reduced to bones." Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard two cries of children, Qiao Feng was taken aback, as if in a dream: "Why do you have another child?" Then he heard the screams of several women. He stretched his head out, and saw clearly the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, each of them immediately kidnapped a woman, and all the women and children were dressed in the attire of Khitan shepherds.Several officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty stretched out their hands to grope and pinch the Khitan woman, obscene and ugly, unsightly.Some women resisted and were immediately yelled at and beaten by officers and soldiers.Qiao Feng was astonished, but didn't understand why.Seeing these people passing by the boulder, they galloped towards Yanmen Pass. A'Zhu asked: "Uncle Qiao, what are they doing?" Qiao Feng shook his head, thinking: "Why are the border guards so ridiculous?" A'Zhu said again: "These officers and soldiers are like thieves." Followed by more than thirty officers and soldiers on the ridge road, driving hundreds of cattle and sheep and more than ten Khitan women, only one officer said: "This time, the harvest is not very good, will the commander know?" Lost your temper?" Another officer said: "Although Liaogou didn't rob many cattle and sheep, but among the women he robbed, two or three of them were not bad in appearance, and if he had a good time with the Commander, his temper would be fine." The first officer said: "Thirty or so women, there is not enough for everyone. Tomorrow, I will have a hard day and go grab some more." To hit Grass Valley, you have to wait two or three months." Hearing this, Qiao Feng couldn't help being filled with anger, thinking that the behavior of these officers and soldiers was worse than that of the most vicious thieves. Suddenly, a baby in the arms of a Khitan woman cried loudly.The Khitan woman stretched out her hand to push away the hand of a Song officer, and turned to comfort the crying child.The officer was furious, grabbed the child and threw him to the ground, followed by galloping forward, the horse's hooves stepped on the child, immediately crushing his stomach.The Khitan woman was so frightened that she couldn't cry.All the officers and soldiers laughed and rushed past. Qiao Feng had seen many cruel and ferocious things in his life, but this was the first time he saw such openly killing babies for pleasure.He was extremely angry, but he didn't explode at the moment, he had to wait and see what happened. This group of officers and soldiers passed by, and more than ten officers and soldiers roared over.These Song Dynasty officers and soldiers also rode horses, holding high spears in their hands, most of them had a bloody head pierced on the tip of the spears, and tied five Khitan men with long ropes behind the horses.Qiao Feng looked at the attire of those Khitan people, they were all ordinary shepherds, two of them were very old with gray hair, and the other three were teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old.He understood in his heart that these Song officers and soldiers went out to plunder, and all the Khitan shepherds in their prime fled, but they captured the women, children, old and weak. Only one officer laughed and said: "Fourteen heads were beheaded, and five Liao dogs were captured alive. The credit is not big, but it is not small. You are promoted to a higher rank and rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. That's right."另一人道：“老高，这里西去五十里，有个契丹人市集，你敢不敢去打草谷？”那老高道：“有什么不敢？你欺我新来么？老子新来，正要多立边功。”说话之间，一行人已驰到大石左近。 一个契丹老汉看到地下的童尸，突然大叫起来，扑过去抱住了童尸，不住亲吻，悲声叫嚷。乔峰虽不懂他言语，见了他这神情，料想被马踩死的这个孩子是他亲人。拉着那老汉的小卒不住扯绳，催他快走。那契丹老汉怒发如狂，猛地向他扑去。这小卒吃了一惊，挥刀向他疾砍。契丹老汉用力一扯，将他从马上拉了下来，张口往他颈中咬去，便在这时，另一名大宋军官从马上一刀砍了下来，狠狠砍在那老汉背上，跟着俯身抓住他后领，将他拉开，摔在地下的小卒方得爬起。这小卒气恼已极，挥刀又在那契丹老汉身上砍了几刀。那老汉摇晃了几下，竟不跌倒。众官兵或举长矛，或提马刀，团团围在他的身周。 那老汉转向北方，解开了上身衣衫，挺立身子，突然高声叫号起来，声音悲凉，有若狼嗥。一时之间，众军官脸上都现惊惧之色。 乔峰心下悚然，蓦地里似觉和这契丹老汉心灵相通，这几下垂死时的狼嗥之声，自己也曾叫过。那是在聚贤庄上，他身上接连中刀中枪，又见单正挺刀刺来，自知将死，心中悲愤莫可抑制，忍不住纵声便如野兽般的狂叫。 这时听了这几声呼号，心中油然而起亲近之意，更不多想，飞身便从大石之后跃出，抓起那些大宋官兵，一个个都投下崖去。乔峰打得兴发，连他们乘坐的马匹也都一掌一匹，推入深谷，人号马嘶，响了一阵，便即沉寂。 阿朱和那四个契丹人见他如此神威，都看得呆了。 乔峰杀尽十余官兵，纵声长啸，声震山谷，见那身中数刀的契丹老汉兀自直立不倒，心中敬他是个好汉，走到他身前，只见他胸膛袒露，对正北方，却已气绝身死。乔峰向他胸口一看，“啊”的一声惊呼，倒退了一步，身子摇摇摆摆，几欲摔倒。 阿朱大惊，叫道：“乔大爷，你……你……你怎么了？”只听得嗤嗤嗤几声响过，乔峰撕开自己胸前衣衫，露出长毛茸茸的胸膛来。阿朱一看，见他胸口刺着花纹，乃是青郁郁的一个狼头，张口露牙，状貌凶恶，再看那契丹老汉时，见他胸口也是刺着一个狼头，形状神姿，和乔峰胸口的狼头一模一样。 忽听得那四个契丹人齐声呼叫起来。 乔峰自两三岁时初识人事，便见到自己胸口刺着这个青狼之首，他因从小见到，自是丝毫不以为异。后来年纪大了，向父母问起，乔三槐夫妇都说图形美观，称赞一番，却没说来历。北宋年间，人身刺花甚是寻常，甚至有全身自颈至脚遍体刺花的。大宋系承继后周柴氏的江山。后周开国皇帝郭威，颈中便刺有一雀，因此人称“郭雀儿”。当时身上刺花，蔚为风尚，丐帮众兄弟中，身上刺花的十有八九，是以乔峰从无半点疑心。但这时见那死去的契丹老汉胸口青狼，竟和自己的一模一样，自是不胜骇异。 四个契丹人围到他身边，叽哩咕噜的说话，不住的指他胸口狼头。乔峰不懂他们说话，茫然相对，一个老汉忽地解开自己衣衫，露出胸口，竟也是刺着这么一个狼头。三个少年各解衣衫，胸口也均有狼头刺花。 一霎时之间，乔峰终于千真万确的知道，自己确是契丹人。这胸口的狼头定是他们部族的记号，想是从小便人人刺上。他自来痛心疾首的憎恨契丹人，知道他们暴虐卑鄙，不守信义，知道他们惯杀汉人，无恶不作，这时候却要他不得不自认是禽兽一般的契丹人，心中实是苦恼之极。 他呆呆的怔了半晌，突然间大叫一声，向山野间狂奔而去。 阿朱叫道：“乔大爷！乔大爷！”随后跟去。 阿朱直追出十余里，才见他抱头坐在一株大树之下，脸色铁青，额头一根粗大的青筋凸了出来。阿朱走到他身边，和他并肩而坐。 乔峰身子一缩，说道：“我是猪狗也不如的契丹胡虏，自今而后，你不用再见我了。” 阿朱和所有汉人一般，本来也是痛恨契丹人入骨，但乔峰在她心中，乃是天神一般的人物，别说他只是契丹人，便是魔鬼猛兽，她也不愿离之而去，心想：“他这时心中难受，须得对他好好劝解宽慰。”柔声道：“汉人中有好人坏人，契丹人中，自然也有好人坏人。乔大爷，你别把这种事放在心上。阿朱的性命是你救的，你是汉人也好，是契丹人也好，对我全无分别。” 乔峰冷冷的道：“我不用你可怜，你心中瞧不起我，也不必假惺惺的说什么好话。我救你性命，非出本心，只不过一时逞强好胜。此事一笔勾销，你快快去罢。” 阿朱心中惶急，寻思：“他既知自己确是契丹胡虏，说不定便回归漠北，从此不踏入中土一步。”一时情不自禁，站起身来，说道：“乔大爷，你若撇下我而去，我便跳入这山谷之中。阿朱说得出做得到，你是契丹的英雄好汉，瞧不起我这低三下四的丫鬟贱人，我还不如自己死了的好。” 乔峰听她说得十分诚恳，心下感动，他只道自己既是胡虏，普天下的汉人自是个个避若蛇蝎，想不到阿朱对待自己仍是一般无异，不禁伸手拉住她手掌，柔声道：“阿朱，你是慕容公子的丫鬟，又不是我的丫鬟，我……我怎会瞧不起你？” 阿朱道：“我不用你可怜，你心中瞧不起我，也不用假惺惺的说什么好话。”她学着乔峰说这几句话，语音声调，无一不像，眼光中满是顽皮的神色。 乔峰哈哈大笑，他于失意潦倒之际，得有这样一位聪明伶俐的少女说笑慰解，不由得烦恼大消。 阿朱忽然正色道：“乔大爷，我服侍慕容公子，并不是卖身给他的。只因我从小没了爹娘，流落在外，有一日受人欺凌，慕容老爷见到了，救了我回家。我孤苦无依，便做了他家的丫鬟。其实慕容公子也并不真当我是丫鬟，他还买了几个丫鬟服侍我呢。阿碧妹子也是一般，只不过她是她爹爹送她到燕子坞慕容老爷家里来避难的。慕容老爷和夫人当年曾说，哪一天我和阿碧想离开燕子坞，他慕容家欢欢喜喜的给我们送行……”说到这里，脸上微微一红。原来当年慕容夫人说的是：“哪一天阿朱、阿碧这两个小妮子有了归宿，我们慕容家全副嫁妆、花轿吹打送她们出门，就跟嫁女儿没半点分别。”顿了一顿，又对乔峰道：“今后我服侍你，做你的丫鬟，慕容公子决计不会见怪。” 乔峰双手连摇，道：“不，不！我是个胡人蛮夷，怎能用什么丫鬟？你在江南富贵人家住得惯了，跟着我漂泊吃苦，有什么好处？你瞧我这等粗野汉子，也配受你服侍么？” 阿朱嫣然一笑，道：“这样罢，我算是给你掳掠来的奴仆，你高兴时向我笑笑，你不开心时便打我骂我，好不好呢？”乔峰微笑道：“我一拳打下来，只怕登时便将你打死了。”阿朱道：“当然你只轻轻的打，可不能出手太重。”乔峰哈哈一笑，说道：“轻轻的打，不如不打。我也不想要什么奴仆。”阿朱道：“你是契丹的大英雄，掳掠几个汉人女子做奴仆，有什么不可？你瞧那些大宋官兵，不也是掳掠了许多契丹人吗？” 乔峰默然不语。阿朱见他眉头深皱，眼色极是阴郁，担心自己说错了话，惹他不快。 过了一会，乔峰缓缓的道：“我一向只道契丹人凶恶残暴，虐害汉人，但今日亲眼见到大宋官兵残杀契丹的老弱妇孺，我……我……阿朱，我是契丹人，从今而后，不再以契丹人为耻，也不以大宋为荣。” 阿朱听他如此说，知他已解开了心中这个郁结，很是欢喜，道：“我早说胡人中有好有坏，汉人中也有好有坏。胡人没汉人那样狡猾，只怕坏人还更少些呢。” 乔峰瞧着左首的深谷，神驰当年，说道：“阿朱，我爹爹妈妈被这些汉人无辜害死，此仇非报不可。” 阿朱点了点头，心下隐隐感到害怕。她知道这轻描淡写的“此仇非报不可”六字之中，势必包含着无数的恶斗、鲜血和性命。 乔峰指着深谷，说道：“当年我妈妈给他们杀了，我爹爹痛不欲生，就从那边的岩石之旁，跃入深谷。他人在半空，不舍得我陪他丧生，又将我抛了上来，乔峰方有今日。阿朱，我爹爹爱我极深，是么？”阿朱眼中含泪，道：“是。” 乔峰道：“我父母这血海深仇，岂可不报？我从前不知，竟然认敌为友，那已是不孝之极，今日如再不去杀了害我父母的正凶，乔某何颜生于天地之间？他们所说的那'带头大哥'，到底是谁？那封写给汪帮主的信上，有他署名，智光和尚却将所署名字撕下来吞入了肚里。这个'带头大哥'显是尚在人世，否则他们就不必为他隐瞒了。” 他自问自答，苦苦思索，明知阿朱并不能助他找到大仇，但有一个人在身边听他说话，自然而然的减却不少烦恼。他又道：“这个带头大哥能率领中土豪杰，自是个武功既高、声望又隆的人物。他信中语气，跟汪帮主交情大非寻常，他称汪帮主为兄，年纪比汪帮主小些，比我当然要大得多。这样一位人物，应当并不难找，嗯，看过那封信的，有智光和尚、丐帮的徐长老和马夫人、铁面判官单正。那个赵钱孙，自也知道他是谁。赵钱孙已告知他师妹谭婆，想来谭婆也不会瞒她丈夫。智光和尚与赵钱孙，都是害死我父母的帮凶，那当然是要杀的，这个他妈的'带头大哥'，哼，我……我要杀他全家，自老至少，鸡犬不留！” 阿朱打了个寒噤，本想说：“你杀了那带头的恶人，已经够了，饶了他全家罢。”但这几句话到得口边，却不敢吐出唇来，只觉得乔峰神威凛凛，对之不敢稍有拂逆。 乔峰又道：“智光和尚四海云游，赵钱孙漂泊不定，要找这两个人甚是不易。那铁面判官单正并未参与害我父母之役，我已杀了他两个儿子，他小儿子也是因我而死，那就不必再去找他了。阿朱，咱们找丐帮的徐长老去。” 阿朱听到他说“咱们”二字，不由得心花怒放，那便是答应携她同行了，嫣然一笑，心想：“便是到天涯海角，我也和你同行。”
