The car was running round and round, day and night.Xuannan, Deng Baichuan, Kang Guangling, etc. were all martial arts masters of the time. At this time, they lost all their martial arts and became prisoners at the mercy of others.Everyone could only vaguely feel that the group of people was heading southeast. After walking like this for eight days, on the ninth day, I went up the mountain road early in the morning.By noon, the terrain was getting higher and higher, and finally the cart could no longer go up.Xingxiu disciples called Xuannan and others out of the car.After walking for more than half an hour, I came to a place where I saw dense bamboo shade and quiet scenery. A gazebo was built with giant bamboo next to the mountain stream. When I went there, I couldn't tell whether it was a bamboo forest or a pavilion.Feng Ah San admired him, he looked right and left, he was in doubt.

As soon as everyone sat down in the gazebo, four people rushed towards the mountain road.At first the two were Ding Chunqiu's disciples, they must have gone up to explore the mountain or send a message before the car stopped.Followed by two young men in peasant clothes, they walked up to Ding Chunqiu, bowed and presented a letter. Ding Chunqiu took a look at it, and said with a sneer: "Very good, very good. You haven't given up yet. If you want to decide life and death again, you should accompany me." The young man took out a firecracker from his bosom, lit it.With a bang, the firecrackers rushed into the sky.Ordinary firecrackers sounded with a "bang", followed by a "clap" in mid-air, and they were blown to pieces. After this firecracker flew into the air, it patted and patted three times in succession.Feng Asan whispered to Kang Guangling: "Brother, this is our production."

Soon a group of people came down the mountain road, there were more than 30 people in total, all dressed as peasants, each carrying a long sword in their hands.When I got closer, I realized that these long objects were not weapons, but bamboo sticks.There is a rope net tied between every two bamboo bars for people to ride on. Ding ChunQiu sneered and said: "Master, please, you don't have to be polite, just sit on it." At that moment XuanNan and others sat on the rope net one by one.Those young men carried one of them, walked like flying, and ran towards the mountain. Ding Chunqiu, with his sleeves fluttering, went first.He didn't run in a hurry, but on this steep mountain path, he seemed to be floating in the wind, without touching the ground, he disappeared into the bamboo forest in front of him in an instant.

Deng Baichuan and the others were caught by his great method of transforming kung fu, and they have been resentful all the time. They all felt that they were wrongly injured by evil spirits, and it was not a crime of war. Now seeing his superb lightness kung fu, it is a true ability that cannot be obtained by trickery, he couldn't help but admire and ponder "He doesn't use evil kung fu, and I'm no match for him." Feng Bo praised viciously: "This old demon's lightness kung fu is really amazing, I admire it!" Ding Chunqiu's martial arts is certainly unmatched in this world, and the martial arts masters since ancient times, such as the Bodhidharma ancestors, etc., are also far behind, and the flattery is so fierce that no one has heard of it.

Bao BuTong said: "Brothers, the Kung Fu of the XingXiu Sect is indeed better than any sect. It is truly unprecedented and unprecedented." All the disciples were overjoyed.One person asked: "In your opinion, which is the most powerful kung fu I have taught?" Bao Butong said: "Not only one, but at least three." The disciples were even more happy, and asked together: "Which three are they?" ?” Bao Tongtong said: "The first one is flattery skill. If you don't practice this skill well, you may not be able to live for a day and a half in the noble family. The second is Faluo skill. If you don't master the martial arts of your family If you brag about your virtues, not only will your master look down on you, but you will also be ostracized among your peers, and you will not be able to gain a foothold. The third skill is the skill of brazenness. If it is not to kill your conscience and be shameless, how can you practice it? The two great feats of flattery and conch."

After he said these words, he expected that all the disciples of the Xingxiu Sect would be furious and beat him with fists and fists, but these few words seemed to be stuck in their throats, and they couldn't speak quickly. , Nodding silently.One person said: "Brother is very smart, and he knows very well about the miraculous skills of our school. However, the three magical skills of flattery, magic conch, and cheekiness are also very difficult to practice. Ordinary people are deeply tainted by worldly views. I always feel that some things are good and some things are bad. As long as this kind of boring thoughts of good and evil, right and wrong, are in the heart, it is half the effort to practice the brazen skill, and often at the critical moment, the effort falls short.”

Bao BuTong was speaking sarcasticly, but he never expected that these people would be calm and unsuspecting, so he couldn't help but be amazed, he said with a smile: "Your sect's magical skills are extremely profound, I admire you very much, and I need to ask the Great Immortal to enlighten me." The man heard that Bao BuTong called him "Great Immortal", he immediately got up, and said: "You are not from the sect, I can't teach you the secrets of these magical skills. But there are some superficial principles, so it's okay to tell you. The most important secret, of course, is to enshrine Master as a god, and the old man will fart..."

Bao BuTong rushed to answer: "Of course it's also fragrant. You must breathe loudly and praise it from the bottom of your heart..." The man said: "Your words are very big, but there is a slight flaw in the small part. It's not 'breathe loudly', but 'loudly breath'." Inhale, exhale in a low voice'." Bao Butong said: "That's right, the Great Immortal pointed out that if you exhale loudly, you may feel like master's fart... This is not very fragrant." The man nodded and said: "That's right, your talent is very good. If you devote yourself to this sect, you should have considerable attainments, but it's a pity that you went astray and entered the sect of a heretic sect. Although the kung fu in this sect is varied, the basic skills are not complicated. , as long as you keep in mind the words 'obliterate conscience', it's about the same."

Bao BuTong nodded repeatedly, and said: "Wearing what you said is better than reading ten years of books. I am yearning for your sect, and wish to join the sect of your sect. I wonder if the Great Immortal can recommend you?" In our sect, it’s really not easy to talk about, and you can’t stand the many hardships and hardships.” Another disciple said: “There are many eyes and ears here, so it’s not appropriate to talk to him. Bao, if you really have the faith Heart of the door, when my master is in a good mood, I can say a few good words for you in front of the master. This sect recruits a lot of disciples, and I think you are not bad at all. If the master is merciful, I will accept you As an apprentice, I may be able to achieve something in the future." Bao Tong said solemnly: "Thank you, thank you. The kindness of the great immortal, Bao will never forget it."

Deng Baichuan, Gongyegan and others heard that Bao BuTong was teasing XingXiu disciples, they couldn't help being angry and amused, thinking: "There are such despicable and shameless people in the world who take pride in bragging and flattering people, it's really rare. " While talking, a group of people have entered a valley.There are pine trees in the valley, and the mountain wind passes by, and the sound of the pines is like waves.After walking for a while in the forest, I came to three wooden houses.I saw two people sitting opposite each other under a big tree in front of the house.There are three people standing behind the one on the left.Ding Chunqiu stood far away, raised his head to the sky, his expression was very arrogant.

As the group of people approached gradually, Bao BuTong suddenly heard Li Puppet on the bamboo pole behind him gurgling in his throat, as if he wanted to speak, but he forcibly held back.Bao BuTong looked back and saw that his face was snow-white, and his expression was extremely terrified.Bao BuTong said: "What are you pretending to be? Are you pretending to be Zidu who has seen a ghost? You are so scared!" Li Puppet didn't answer, as if he didn't hear him at all.
When he got closer, he saw a big stone between the two sitting, with a chessboard on it, and they were playing chess.On the right is a short, thin, shriveled old man, and on the left is a young man.Bao BuTong recognized that young master as Duan Yu, and he felt very bored, thinking: "I've always been very rude to this boy, but today I showed him my misfortune, this boy will definitely speak out and ridicule." But I saw that the chessboard was carved on a big blue stone, the black and white pieces were all glittering and shining, each side had placed more than a hundred pieces.Ding Chunqiu slowly approached to watch the game.The little old man made a move with the black stone, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he saw the strange and urgent change in the chess game.Duan Yu was holding a white piece in his hand, he was still pondering, Bao BuTong shouted: "Hey, Duan boy, you have already lost, so let's admit defeat together with Bao's troubled brother." The three people behind Duan Yu returned Turning his head and glaring at him, it was Zhu Danchen and the other three guards. All of a sudden, Kang Guangling, Fan Bailing and other eight Hangu friends struggled from the rope net one by one, walked to a distance of about ten feet from the bluestone chessboard, and knelt down together. Bao BuTong was taken aback, and said, "What the hell are you doing?" As soon as he uttered the words, he immediately realized that this thin, dry old man was the deaf-mute "Mr. Congbian", that is, Kang Guangling and other eight friends of Hangu. master.But he is the deadly enemy of Ding Chunqiu, the old monster of Xingxiu, when the hatred comes, how can he still play chess with others in his free time?And the opponent is not an important character, just a nerd who doesn't know martial arts? Kang Guangling said: "Your health is better than before, and the eight of us are very happy." The Eight Friends of Hangu were expelled from the teacher's school by Mr. Congbian Su Xinghe, and they dare not address each other as master and apprentice anymore.Fan Bailing said: "Master Xuannan from Shaolin sent to see you come." Su Xinghe stood up, gave a deep bow to the crowd, and said: "Master Xuannan is here, old Su Xinghe has made a mistake in meeting him, it's a serious crime, a serious crime!" He glanced at the crowd, then turned his head to look at the chess game. Everyone had heard Xue Muhua talk about the reason why his master was forced to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but now he actually opened his mouth and decided to fight Ding Chunqiu to the death.Kang Guangling, Xue Muhua and others couldn't help but look at Ding Chunqiu, both excited and worried. XuanNan said: "It's easy to say, easy to say!" Seeing that Su Xinghe attached so much importance to this game of chess, he thought to himself: "This person has too many chores, calligraphy, painting, piano and chess, and he is good at everything. No wonder his martial arts are inferior to his junior brother." In the silence, Duan Yu suddenly said: "Okay, let's play it like this!" He said and put a white piece on the chessboard.Su Xinghe had a happy face, nodded his head, as if approving, and played a black piece, Duan Yu had already figured out more than ten chess pieces, and then he played a white piece, Su Xinghe made another black piece, and the two played For more than ten years, Duan Yu let out a long breath, shook his head and said: "The Zhenlong placed by the old gentleman is extremely profound and ingenious, and Wansheng can't decipher it." Seeing that Su Xinghe had won, but his face was full of misery, he said: "Young master's chess thinking is precise, these dozen or so moves have reached an extremely high level, but it's a pity, a pity that I can't think a step further. , It's a pity, it's a pity!" He said "It's a pity" four times in a row, and the regret was really very deep.Duan Yu picked up the dozen or so white stones he had placed from the chessboard and put them into the wooden box.Su Xinghe also picked up more than ten sunspots.The chess game still retains the original formation. Duan Yu retreated to the side, staring at the chess game in a daze: "This Zhenlong is what I saw in the cave of Wuliang Mountain that day. This Mr. Congbian must have a close relationship with the fairy sister in the cave. If you want, you must ask him quietly, but you must not let others hear it. Otherwise, if everyone rushes to see Sister Shenxian, wouldn't it be insulting to her?" Fan Bailing, the second disciple of the Eight Friends of Hangu, is a chess fan. Looking at the chess game from afar, he knew that it was not the "master" who played against this young master, but the "master" who set up a "Zhenlong". Can't crack it.Kneeling on the ground, he couldn't see clearly, so he raised his knees and stretched his neck, trying to see clearly. Su Xinghe said: "All of you, get up! Bailing, this 'Zhenlong' has very serious implications, come here and take a good look, if you can solve it, it will be a great thing." Fan Bailing was overjoyed, and replied: "Yes!" He stood up, walked to the side of the chessboard, and looked intently. Deng Baichuan asked in a low voice: "Second brother, what is 'Zhenlong'?" Gongye Qian also said in a low voice: "'Zhenlong' is a problem in Go. It was deliberately put out by one person to make it difficult for others, and it was not It is not a battle between two people, so it is very difficult to predict whether it will survive or die." Ordinary "Zhenlong" has as few as ten or so pieces, and as many as forty or fifty pieces, but this one has more than two hundred pieces. , a game of chess is almost over.Gongye's knowledge of this way is limited, and he didn't understand after reading it for a while, so he stopped reading it. Fan Bailing has intensively studied Go for decades, he is really a master in this way, he saw that there is a calamity in this chess game, there is both living together, and longevity, or counterattack, or breathing, five gathers six, it is extremely complicated.Immediately he was refreshed, and when he watched the film again, he suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, he only calculated the life and death of the small white chess piece in the lower right corner, and he felt the blood in his chest surging.He gathered himself together, and recalculated for the second time, and found that he thought this white piece was dead, but in fact there is a way to live, but to kill the next black piece, it involves a lot of things, and after a few more calculations, All of a sudden, there was darkness in front of his eyes, and a sweet throat spewed out a big mouthful of blood. Su Xinghe looked at him coldly, and said: "This game of chess is extremely difficult, your talent is limited, although your chess skills are not weak, you probably can't solve it, not to mention that there is a villain like Ding Chunqiu who is playing evil tricks beside you. Charming mind, it is really dangerous, do you really want to go on, or do you not want to?" Fan Bailing said: "Life is a matter of life and death, brother... I... I... I am determined to do my best." Su Xinghe nodded and said: " Then think about it slowly." Fan Bailing stared at the chess board, staggered, and sprayed a big mouthful of blood. Ding ChunQiu sneered and said: "You risked your life in vain, but why bother to come here? The mechanism set up by this old thief was originally used to torture and kill people, Fan Bailing, you call yourself a trap." Su Xinghe squinted at him, and said: "What do you call Master?" Ding Chunqiu said: "He is an old thief, so I will call him an old thief!" Su Xinghe said: "The deaf-mute old man is neither deaf nor dumb today. Now, you must know the reason." Ding Chunqiu said: "Wonderful! You ruined your oath, you are looking for death, I can't be blamed." Su Xinghe casually picked up a large rock beside him, placed it beside Xuannan, and said, "Master, please sit down." Xuannan saw that this boulder was about 200 catties without worrying about it. For a shriveled old man like Su Xinghe, his whole body might not weigh 80 catties, but he lifted this huge boulder effortlessly. Well, when my kung fu is not lost, it is of course easy to lift this boulder, but it may not be as light as he is, as if nothing happened, he folded his hands and said: "Thank you!" and sat on the rock. Su Xinghe said again: "This Zhenlong chess game was made by the former teacher. The former teacher spent three years of hard work, and then it was completed. I hope that the confidant people in the world of chess can solve it. I will study hard for the next thirty years. , but failed to understand it thoroughly." Speaking of this, he glanced at Xuannan, Duan Yu, Fan Bailing and others, and said: "Master Xuannan is proficient in Zen principles, and he knows that the essence of Zen lies in 'sudden enlightenment'. Years and months have passed. His hard work may not be able to comprehend at the first sight of a person with perennial wisdom. The way of chess is also average, and a talented eight or nine-year-old child can often beat a first-class master on the chessboard. Everyone may not be able to break it. The teacher left this wish back then, if someone breaks it and fulfills the wish of the teacher, even though the teacher is no longer alive, he will be very pleased if he knows it." XuanNan thought to himself: "Mr. Congbian's master and apprentice are all passed down in the same line. They are all obsessed with such things as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they have devoted their entire lives to these irrelevant things. It is a pity that Ding Chunqiu is allowed to run amok in our sect and no one can restrain him." I just heard Su Xinghe say: "My junior brother," he pointed at Ding Chunqiu, and said: "Back then, I betrayed my master, causing my former master to die with hatred, and beat me so hard that I couldn't fight back. In the future, I will die as a martyr, but remembering Master has an unfulfilled wish. If you don’t find someone to solve it, it will be difficult to see Master’s face after death. Therefore, you have endured humiliation and survived until now. Over the years, I have abided by the agreement between master and brother, and kept silent. Not only did I become deaf and dumb The old man, even the new disciples under his sect, forced them to be deaf and dumb. Alas, for thirty years, nothing has been accomplished, and no one can break this chess game. This Mr. Duan is certainly handsome..." Bao Ditong interrupted and said: "Mr. Duan may not be handsome, and he may not be unrestrained, let alone a handsome and unrestrained character. What does it have to do with playing chess? It doesn't make sense!" Su Xinghe said: "It has a lot to do with it. , has a lot to do with it." Bao BuTong said: "Your gentleman's character, hehe, may not be so handsome." Su Xinghe stared at him for a moment, then smiled.Bao BuTong said: "You must say that I, Bao BuTong, are uglier and weirder than your old man..." Su Xinghe ignored him, and continued: "Mr. Duan's more than ten moves have been extremely ingenious. I originally placed great expectations in the next move. Don't you know that there was a difference in the chess, and in the end I still lost." Duan Yu's face was ashamed, and he said: "My qualifications are stupid, and I am ashamed of my father's love..." Before he could finish his sentence, Fan Bailing yelled loudly, blood gushed out of his mouth, and he fell backwards.Su Xinghe raised his left hand slightly, chi chi chi chit three times, three chess pieces popped out and hit the acupoints in his chest, only then did he stop his bleeding.
Everyone was stunned when they suddenly heard a slap, and a white object flew down from midair and hit the chessboard. Su Xinghe took a look and saw a small piece of pine tree flesh, just dug out from the tree, just fell on the Qijiu Road at the "Go" position, that is the key to deciphering this "Zhenlong".When he looked up, he saw behind a pine tree five zhang away from the left, the corner of his light yellow robe was exposed, obviously there was someone there. Su Xinghe was both surprised and delighted, and said: "Here comes another expert, I am so overjoyed." Just as he was about to respond with a sunspot, suddenly there was a soft sound in his ear, and a small black object flew from behind and landed on "" The 88th road to the "position" is exactly where Su Xinghe wants to settle down. Everyone said "Hey" and turned their heads away, but there was no one.The pine trees on the right are not tall, if there is someone hiding in the tree, you can see it at a glance, but you don't know where this person is hiding.Seeing that this black object was a small piece of pine bark, Su Xinghe was secretly horrified in his heart when it fell in an extremely precise direction.As soon as the black object came down, another grain of white flesh shot out from behind the pine tree on the left, and landed on Wuliu Road at the "Qu" position. There was only a chirping sound, and a black object hovered in the sky, then fell in a straight line, and fell impartially on the fourth or fifth road of the "going" position.The sunspot rises in a spiral shape, and it is difficult to find out where it came from. The sunspot rises up into the air in a zigzag way, and when it falls, it is still so accurate. This hidden weapon skill is really amazing.The audience admired and applauded in unison. The picking didn't stop, only a clear voice came from among the pine branches and leaves: "Master Murong, you come to crack Zhenlong, and the little monk should take the two actions on your behalf, don't blame me for being presumptuous." a monk.The monk was wearing a gray cloth monk robe, with a radiant light, a solemn treasure appearance, and a slight smile on his face. Duan Yu was taken aback, and thought: "Jumozhi is here again!" He thought again: "Could it be that the baizi just now was sent by Mr. Murong? This Mr. Murong, today I will finally see you?" I saw Jiumozhi clasped his palms together, bowed to Su Xinghe, Ding Chunqiu and Xuannan each, and said: "On the way, I saw Mr. Congbian's invitation to the chess meeting, and I've come to meet the masters of the world." He added: "Young Master Murong, just show up now!" But when they heard the clear laughter, two people came out from behind a pine tree.Suddenly Duan Yu's eyes went dark, his ears were ringing, his mouth was bitter, and his whole body was hot.This person is graceful and graceful, walking slowly, it is Wang Yuyan who he misses and forgets all the time. She was full of admiration and love, and looked at a young man beside her bewilderedly.Duan Yu followed her gaze, and saw that person was about twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing a light yellow shirt, with a long sword hanging from his waist, floating towards him, with a handsome face, unrestrained and elegant. When Duan Yu saw it, his body turned cold, his eyes turned red, and he was about to shed tears, he said in his heart: "Mr. , I am doomed to suffer for the rest of my life." He blamed himself, sighed and hurt himself, and did not want to raise his head to see Wang Yuyan's expression, but finally couldn't help but sneak another glance at her.I saw that her face was radiant, and it seemed that her whole body was about to laugh. Since we met, I have never seen her so happy.The two had approached, but Wang Yuyan turned a blind eye to Duan Yu and didn't even greet him.Duan Yu continued: "She never had me in her heart, even if she was with me before, she only had her cousin in her heart." Deng Baichuan, Gongye Qian, Bao Tongdong and Feng Bao'e rushed to meet him.Gong Yeqian whispered to Murong Fu about the origins of Su Xinghe, Ding Chunqiu, Xuannan and other three parties.Bao BuTong said: "This duan is a nerd, he doesn't know martial arts, he has played chess just now, and he was defeated." Murong Fu met with everyone in a line of courtesy, his words were modest, and he intended to accept. "Gusu Murong" is famous all over the world, everyone can't imagine that he is such a handsome and noble son, they admire each other at the moment, even Ding Chunqiu said a few polite words. Murong Fu finally met Duan Yu and said: "Brother Duan, hello." Duan Yu looked miserable, shook his head and said, "You are fine, I... I am not fine at all." Wang Yuyan said "ah" With a sound, he said: "Mr. Duan, you are here too." Duan Yu said: "Yes, I...I..." Murong Fu stared at him for a few times, ignored him, walked to the side of the chess board, picked up the white piece , in the game of chess.Jiumozhi smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Murong, although your martial arts are strong, this way of playing is probably normal." He said and played a black chip.Murong Fu said: "It may not be that I lose to you." He said and played a white stone.Jiumozhi responded. Murong Fu has been contemplating this chess game for a long time, he is confident that he has figured out how to understand it.But Jiumozhi's move was beyond his expectation, all the plans that he had planned were all in vain, he had to think about it all over again, after a long time, he gave birth again. Jiumo Zhiyun thought very quickly, and then he followed.The two played one fast and one slow, and played more than twenty pieces, Jiumozhi suddenly laughed and said: "Mr. Murong, let's shoot twice!" Murong Fu said angrily: "You are such a mess! Then you come to solve it!" Let's see." Jiumozhi smiled and said, "No one in the world can solve this chess game, but it is used to trick others. I know myself well, and I don't want to waste my heart and energy on useless things. Mr. Murong, you are on the sidelines with me." I can't get rid of the entanglement on the horns, do you still want to compete in the Central Plains?" Murong Fu's heart was shaken, he had mixed feelings for a moment, he just thought of his two words over and over again: "You can't even get rid of my entanglement in the corner, do you still want to compete in the Central Plains?" The eyes gradually blurred, the white and black pieces on the chess game seemed to have turned into generals and soldiers, a group of troops in the east and a camp in the west, you surrounded me, I surrounded you, fighting each other in an entangled manner.Murong Fu saw with his own eyes that his white-flag and white-armored soldiers were surrounded by black-flag and black-armored enemies, rushing left and right, but couldn't get out of the encirclement, he became more and more anxious: "My Murong family's destiny is over, All my efforts were in vain. I have worked hard all my life, and it turned into a dream in the end! Time is fate, so what can I say?" Suddenly, with a loud cry, he drew his sword and slashed at his neck. When Murong Fu stood still and looked uncertain, Wang Yuyan, Duan Yu, Deng Baichuan, Gong Yegan and others all stared at him intently.Murong Fu would suddenly draw his sword and kill himself, no one expected this move, Deng Baichuan and others rushed to save him, but they lost their kung fu, so they were one step too late. Duan Yu pointed out with his index finger, and shouted: "Don't do that!" Only a "chi" sound was heard, the long sword in Murong Fu's hand flicked, and fell to the ground with a bang. Jiumozhi laughed and said, "Young Master Duan, what a move of the Six Meridians Excalibur!" Murong Fu let go of the long sword and woke up from the illusion in shock.Wang Yuyan took his hand, shook it again and again, and shouted: "Cousin! If you can't solve the chess game, what's the point of playing? Why are you looking for short-sightedness?" As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks. Murong Fu asked in a daze, "What's the matter with me?" Wang Yuyan said, "Fortunately, Mr. Duan knocked down the long sword in your hand, otherwise... otherwise..." Gong Yeqian persuaded: "My lord, this chess game is fascinating, it seems that there is something in it. You don't need to waste your time thinking about it." Murong Fu turned his head to Duan Yu, and said: "Your Excellency's move just now, is it really the sword move of the Six Meridians Excalibur? It's a pity I didn't see it, can you try another move , so that I can open my eyes.” Duan Yu glanced at Jiumozhi, afraid that he would come to arrest him after seeing him make a move of "Six Meridians Excalibur". Resisting, fearful in his heart, he took three steps to the left, far away from Jiumozhi, with Zhu Danchen and the other three in between, and then he replied: "I... I was in a hurry, by chance, I want to go again Try a trick, it will be difficult. Did you really not see it just now?" Murong Fu's face was ashamed, and he said: "The next moment, my mind is in a daze, it's like being possessed by a demon." Bao BuTong yelled, and said: "That's right, the XingXiu old monster must be casting evil spells nearby, young master, be careful!" Murong Fu glanced at Ding Chunqiu, and said to Duan Yu: "I fell into a sorcery by mistake, I am very grateful for the rescue. Brother Duan has the unique skill of 'Six Meridians Excalibur', but is it from the Duan family in Dali?"
Suddenly, a voice floated from a distance: "Which member of the Duan family in Dali is here? Is it Duan Zhengchun?" It was the voice of "full of evil" Duan Yanqing. Zhu Danchen and the others immediately changed their colors.I heard a voice like metal rubbing against each other and shouted: "Our boss is the genuine Dali Duan family, the rest are fakes." Duan Yu smiled slightly and thought, "My apprentice is here too." As soon as the cry of the South Sea Crocodile God stopped, a person came up quickly from the foot of the mountain, it was Yun Zhonghe, and shouted: "The four villains in the world are visiting Mr. Congbian, and I would like to go to the chess meeting." Su Xinghe said : "Welcome to you." As soon as the four words were spoken, the Yunzhong Crane floated in front of everyone. After a while, Duan Yanqing, Ye Erniang, and South Sea Crocodile came side by side.South Sea Crocodile God said loudly: "Our boss was very happy to see the invitation card. He put aside other things and rushed to play chess. His martial arts are invincible in the world, even better than my second brother Yue. Whoever refuses to accept it, Now come up and play three moves with him. Do you want to fight alone, or do you all go together? Why don't you show your weapons?" Ye Erniang said: "Sir, don't talk nonsense! Playing chess is not about fighting with force What kind of weapon are you using?" Nanhai Crocodile said, "You're just talking nonsense, you don't want to fight with weapons, why are you rushing here?" Duan Yanqing stared at the chess board intently, concentrating on it, after a long, long time, the iron stick with his left hand reached into the chess box, and the tip of the stick sucked a white piece and placed it on the chess board. Xuan Nan praised: "Dali Duan's kung fu is unrivaled in the south of the world, it really has a well-deserved name." Duan Yu has seen the scene of Duan Yanqing playing chess with the yellow-browed monk that day, he knows that not only his inner strength is deep, but also his chess strength is very high, even if this "Zhenlong" can be cracked by him, it is unknown.Zhu Danchen whispered in his ear: "My lord, let's go! Don't miss this opportunity." But firstly Duan Yu wanted to see how Duan Yanqing would solve this difficult situation, and secondly seeing Wang Yuyan so easily, the sky would fall He refused to give up on her when he came down, he only said "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" at the moment, but took a few steps closer to the chess game. Su Xinghe knew the ever-changing moves of this chess game, he knew every move well, and immediately responded with a black chess move.Duan Yanqing thought for a while, and made a move.Su Xinghe said: "Your Excellency's move is extremely clever, let's see if we can break through the checkpoint and open a way out." He played a black chess piece to seal the way out.Duan Yanqing gave birth again. The Shaolin monk Xu Zhu said suddenly: "I'm afraid this move won't work!" He saw Murong Fu make this move just now, after that he continued until he drew his sword and killed himself.He was afraid that Duan Yanqing would repeat the same mistakes, and he couldn't bear it, so he reminded him. South Sea Crocodile God was furious, and shouted: "You little monk, you are also worthy to tell me if my boss can do it!" He grabbed his vest and lifted it over.Duan Yu said: "Good apprentice, don't hurt this little master!" When the Crocodile God of the South China Sea came, he had seen Duan Yu long ago, and he was always embarrassed. He cried out and said angrily: "If you don't get hurt, you don't get hurt, what's the matter!" Put Xu Zhu on the ground. Everyone was surprised to see that such a brutal and ferocious South Sea Crocodile God listened to Duan Yu's words and didn't back down when he called him "disciple".Only Zhu Danchen and the others understood what was going on, and secretly laughed in their hearts. Xu Zhu sat on the ground, and thought in his mind: "My master often said that the practice method handed down by the Buddha is precept, samadhi, and wisdom. "Surangama Sutra" says: 'Concentrating the mind is a precept, and samadhi arises from precepts. Wisdom arises from samadhi. It is difficult for us people with blunt faculties to restrain our minds as a precept. Therefore, Patriarch Bodhidharma passed down the method of expedient methods, teaching us to master our minds by learning martial arts, and also by playing chess. Learning martial arts pays attention to victory and defeat, Playing chess also pays attention to winning or losing, which is exactly the opposite of the principle of meditation. Therefore, no matter whether you are learning martial arts or playing chess, you must have no desire to win or lose. When chanting scriptures, eating, and walking, it is very easy to be invincible. It is extremely difficult to be defeated. If there is no desire to win or lose in martial arts competitions or chess games, then it will be a shortcut. There is a saying in the "Dharma Phrase Sutra": "The winner will complain, and the loser will despise himself. Get rid of the winning and losing mind, and have no arguing." Zi An.' I am not good at martial arts, and my chess skills are poor. When I compete with my brothers and play chess, I always win less and lose more. On the contrary, my master praised me for not being angry or complaining. This benefactor Duan made a wrong move, so he was worried that he would lose, so he gave advice? What's more, with my chess skills, how can I give advice to others? Although his move is the same as Mr. Murong's, it is likely to be different since then. I didn't understand it myself, but instead said 'I'm afraid it won't work', isn't it a great conceit of Gonggao?" Duan Yanqing thought about it for a while, one son at a time, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, and when it was more than twenty sons, the sun was already in the west, Xuannan suddenly said: "Benefactor Duan, at first you walked straight ahead. On the eleventh day, he walked into a side door, and he walked more and more sideways, and it was impossible to save him." Duan Yanqing's face was stiff and expressionless, and a voice from his throat said: "Your Shaolin sect is a famous school, follow your orthodox way , but how to solve it?" Xuannan sighed, and said: "This chess game seems right but not right, seems evil but not evil, it can't be solved by using the right way, but it won't work if you purely take the edge!" Duan Yanqing's left iron stick rested in mid-air, trembling slightly, he couldn't press it down, and after a long time, he said: "There is no way out, and there are pursuers behind, it's not right, it's not evil, that's so difficult!" The traditional martial arts was originally Dali Duan's orthodox sect, but later he fell into the evil way, Xuannan's words touched his state of mind, like Mr. Murong, he gradually fell into the devil's way. This Zhenlong is ever-changing, and it is given according to the person. Those who love money make mistakes because of greed, and those who are irritable make bad things because of anger.Duan Yu's failure is because he loves too much and refuses to abandon his son; Murong Fu's failure is because he is obsessed with power and dares to abandon his son, but he refuses to lose power no matter what.The first thing Duan Yanqing hates in his life is that after being disabled, he had to abandon the authentic martial arts of his own school and learn heresy sorcery. When he was concentrating on it, foreign demons invaded, and his mind was turbulent, and he couldn't control himself. Ding Chunqiu said with a smile: "Yes! It is easy for a person to go from good to evil, but it is difficult to turn from evil to good. Your life is doomed to be ruined, ruined, ruined! Alas, it is a pity that one mistake will cause eternal hatred, and if you want to look back , that can’t be done!” The words were full of pity.XuanNan and other experts all know that this XingXiu old monster has bad intentions, he is taking advantage of the fire to loot, in order to lure Duan YanQing into madness and get rid of a formidable opponent. Sure enough, Duan Yanqing remained motionless, and said sadly: "As the prince of Dali Kingdom, I have fallen into the world today. I am reduced to this stage, and I really feel ashamed of my ancestors." Ding Chunqiu said: "You died under the Nine Springs, and you have no face to go to see Duan's ancestors. If you feel ashamed, you might as well commit suicide like a hero. Alas, alas! It's better to kill yourself, it's better Just kill yourself!" The voice was soft and sweet, and the person with lesser internal energy was already drowsy and drowsy after hearing it. Duan Yanqing then said to himself: "Oh, it's better to kill myself!" Lifting the iron staff, he slowly tapped it towards his chest.But after all his cultivation is very deep, he faintly knew something was wrong, and there seemed to be a voice deep in his heart saying: "No, no, if this continues, it will be terrible!" But the iron stick in his left hand was still pointing to his chest inch by inch. down.When he lost his country in exile and was seriously injured, he also had the idea of ​​suicide. It was only because of a special opportunity that he regained his strength. At this moment, his self-control weakened, and the suicidal idea hidden in his heart reappeared. Among the great masters around, Xuannan was merciful and wanted to wake him up with his words, but this "wake-up call" must have the same skill as Duan Yanqing, in order to have a deafening effect, otherwise it will not only be useless, but will cause disaster, secretly secretly Anxious, but helpless.Su Xinghe can't help each other because of the rules established by his master back then.Murong Fu knew that Duan Yanqing was not a good person, it would be best for him to die if he escaped from the fire and remove the evil in the world.Jiumozhi gloated at his misfortune, and watched with a smile on his hands.Duan Yu and You Tanzhi are both very powerful, but they don't understand what Duan Yanqing's move means.Although Wang Yuyan knows a lot of martial arts from various sects and sects, but the evil sect that Ding ChunQiu used his mental strength to lure is not martial arts, she doesn't know anything about it.Ye Erniang thought that Duan Yanqing had always been on top of her, and was usually domineering, very rude, and had accumulated anger for a long time, thinking that he was going to commit suicide, but there was no need to rescue him.Deng Baichuan, Kang Guangling and the others not only lost all their skills, but they also didn't want to get involved in the competition between Xingxiu old monster and the "No. 1 villain". 这中间只有南海鳄神一人最是焦急,眼见段延庆的杖头离他胸口已不过数寸,再延搁片刻,立时便点了自己死穴,当下顺手抓起虚竹,叫道:“老大,接住了这和尚!”说着便向段延庆掷了过去。 丁春秋拍出一掌,道:“去罢!别来搅局!”南海鳄神这一掷之力极是雄浑,虚竹身带劲风,向前疾飞,但被丁春秋软软的一掌,虚竹的身子又飞了回去,直撞向南海鳄神。 南海鳄神双手接住,想再向段延庆掷去,不料丁春秋的掌力之中,蕴蓄着三股后劲,南海鳄神突然双目圆睁,腾腾腾退出三步,正待立定,第二股后劲又到。他双膝一软,坐倒在地,只道再也没事了,哪知还有第三股后劲袭来。他身不由主倒翻了一个筋斗,双手兀自抓着虚竹,将他在身下一压,又翻了过来。他料想丁老怪这一掌更有第四股后劲,忙将虚竹的身子往前一推,以便挡架。 但是第四股后劲却没有了,南海鳄神睁眼骂道:“你奶奶个雄!”将虚竹放在地下。 丁春秋发了这一掌,心力稍弛,段延庆的铁杖停在半空,不再移动。丁春秋道:“来不及了,来不及了,段延庆,我劝你还是自尽了罢,还是自尽了罢!”段延庆叹道:“是啊,活在世上,还有什么意思?还是自尽了罢!”说话之间,杖头离着胸口衣衫又近了两寸。 虚竹慈悲之心大动,心知要解段延庆的魔障,须从棋局入手,只是棋艺低浅,要说解开这局复杂无比的棋中难题,当真是想也不敢想,眼见段延庆双目呆呆的凝视棋局,危机生于顷刻,突然间灵机一动:“我解不开棋局,但捣乱一番,却是容易,只须他心神一分,便有救了。既无棋局,何来胜败?”便道:“我来解这棋局。”快步走上前去,从棋盒中取过一枚白子,闭了眼睛,随手放在棋局之上。 他双眼还没睁开,只听得苏星河怒声斥道:“胡闹,胡闹,你自填一气,自己杀死一块白棋,哪有这等下棋的法子?”虚竹睁眼一看,不禁满脸通红。 原来自己闭着眼睛瞎放一子,竟放在一块已被黑棋围得密不通风的白棋之中。这大块白棋本来尚有一气,虽然黑棋随时可将之吃净,但只要对方一时无暇去吃,总还有一线生机,苦苦挣扎,全凭于此。现下他自己将自己的白棋吃了,棋道之中,从无这等自杀的行径。这白棋一死,白方眼看是全军覆没了。 鸠摩智、慕容复、段誉等人见了,都不禁哈哈大笑。玄难摇头莞尔。范百龄虽在衰疲之余,也忍不住道:“那不是开玩笑吗?” 苏星河道:“先师遗命,此局不论何人,均可入局。小师父这一着虽然异想天开,总也是入局的一着。”将虚竹自己挤死了的一块白棋从棋盘上取了下来,跟着下了一枚黑子。 段延庆大叫一声,从幻境中醒觉,眼望丁春秋,心道:“星宿老怪,你乘人之危,暗施毒手,咱们可不能善罢甘休。” 丁春秋向虚竹瞧了一眼,目中满含怨毒之意,骂道:“小贼秃!” 段延庆看了棋局中的变化,已知适才死里逃生,乃是出于虚竹的救援,心下好生感激,情知丁春秋挟嫌报复,立即便要向虚竹下手,寻思:“少林高僧玄难在此,谅星宿老怪也不能为难他的徒子徒孙,但若玄难老朽昏庸,回护不周,我自不能让小和尚为我而死。”
苏星河向虚竹道:“小师父,你杀了自己一块棋子,黑棋再逼紧一步,你如何应法?” 虚竹赔笑道:“小僧棋艺低劣,胡乱下子,志在救人。这盘棋小僧是不会下的,请老前辈原谅。” 苏星河脸色一沉,厉声道:“先师布下此局,恭请天下高手破解。倘若破解不得,那是无妨,若有后殃,也是咎由自取。但如有人前来捣乱棋局,渎亵了先师毕生的心血,纵然人多势众,嘿嘿,老夫虽然又聋又哑,却也要誓死周旋到底。”他叫做“聋哑老人”,其实既不聋,又不哑,此刻早已张耳听声,开口说话,竟然仍自称“又聋又哑”,只是他说话时须髯戟张,神情极是凶猛,谁也不敢笑话于他。 虚竹合十深深行礼,说道:“老前辈……” 苏星河大声喝道:“下棋便下棋,多说更有何用?我师父是给你胡乱消遣的么?”说着右手一挥,拍出一掌,砰的一声巨响,眼前尘土飞扬,虚竹身前立时现出一个大坑。这一掌之力猛恶无比,倘若掌力推前尺许,虚竹早已筋折骨断,死于非命了。 虚竹吓得心中怦怦乱跳,举眼向玄难瞧去,盼望师伯祖出头,救他脱此困境。 玄难棋艺不高,武功又已全失,更有什么法子好想?当此情势,只有硬起头皮,正要向苏星河求情,忽见虚竹伸手入盒,取过一枚白子,下在棋盘之上。所下之处,却是提去白子后现出的空位。 这一步棋,竟然大有道理。这三十年来,苏星河于这局棋的千百种变化,均已拆解得烂熟于胸,对方不论如何下子,都不能逾越他已拆解过的范围。但虚竹一上来便闭了眼乱下一子,以致自己杀了一大块白子,大违根本棋理,任何稍懂弈理之人,都决不会去下这一着。那等如是提剑自刎、横刀自杀。岂知他闭目落子而杀了自己一大块白棋后,局面顿呈开朗,黑棋虽然大占优势,白棋却已有回旋的余地,不再像以前这般缚手缚脚,顾此失彼。这个新局面,苏星河是做梦也没想到过的,他一怔之下,思索良久,方应了一着黑棋。 原来虚竹适才见苏星河击掌威吓,师伯祖又不出言替自己解围,正自彷徨失措之际,忽然一个细细的声音钻入耳中:“下'平'位三九路!”虚竹也不理会此言是何人指教,更不想此着是对是错,拿起白子,依言便下在“平”位三九路上。待苏星河应了黑棋后,那声音又钻入虚竹耳中:“'平'位二八路。”虚竹再将一枚白棋下在“平”位二八路上。 他此子一落,只听得鸠摩智、慕容复、段誉等人都“咦”的一声叫了出来。虚竹抬头起来,只见许多人脸上都有钦佩讶异之色,显然自己这一着大是精妙,又见苏星河脸上神色又是欢喜赞叹,又是焦躁忧虑,两条长长的眉毛不住上下掀动。 虚竹心下起疑:“他为什么忽然高兴?难道我这一着下错了么?”但随即转念:“管他下对下错,只要我和他应对到十着以上,显得我下棋也有若干分寸,不是胡乱搅局,侮辱他的先师,他就不会见怪了。”待苏星河应了黑子后,依着暗中相助之人的指示,又下一着白子。他一面下棋,一面留神察看,是否师伯祖在暗加指示,但看玄难神情焦急,却是不像,何况他始终没有开口。 钻入他耳中的声音,显然是“传音入密”的上乘内功,说话者以深厚内力,将说话送入他一人的耳中,旁人即是靠在他的身边,亦无法听闻,但不管话声如何轻,话总是要说的。虚竹偷眼察看各人口唇,竟没一个在动,可是那“下'去'位五六路,食黑棋三子!”的声音,却清清楚楚的传入了他耳中。虚竹依言而下,寻思:“教我的除了师伯祖外,再没第二人。其余那些人和我非亲非故,如何肯来教我?这些高手之中,也只有师伯祖没下过棋,其余的都试过而失败了。师伯祖神功非凡,居然能不动口唇而传音入密,我不知几时才能修得到这个地步。” 他哪知教他下棋的,却是那个天下第一大恶人“恶贯满盈”段延庆。适才段延庆沉迷棋局之际,被丁春秋乘火打劫,险些儿走火入魔,自杀身亡,幸得虚竹捣乱棋局,才救了他一命。他见苏星河对虚竹厉声相责,大有杀害之意,当即出言指点,意在替虚竹解围,令他能敷衍数着而退。他善于腹语之术,说话可以不动口唇,再以深厚内功传音入密,身旁虽有好几位一等一的高手,竟然谁也没瞧出其中机关。 可是数着一下之后,局面竟起了大大变化,段延庆才知这个“珍珑”的秘奥,正是要白棋先挤死了自己一大块,以后的妙着方能源源而生。棋中固有“反扑”、“倒脱靴”之法,自己故意送死,让对方吃去数子,然后取得胜势,但送死者最多也不过八九子,决无一口气奉送数十子之理,这等“挤死自己”的着法,实乃围棋中千古未有之奇变,任你是如何超妙入神的高手,也决不会想到这一条路上去。任何人所想的,总是如何脱困求生,从来没人故意往死路上去想。若不是虚竹闭上眼睛、随手瞎摆而下出这着大笨棋来,只怕再过一千年,这个“珍珑”也没人能解得开。 段延庆的棋术本来极为高明,当日在大理与黄眉僧对弈,杀得黄眉僧无法招架,这时棋局中取出一大块白棋后再下,天地一宽,既不必顾念这大块白棋的死活,更不再有自己白棋处处掣肘,反而腾挪自如,不如以前这般进退维谷了。 鸠摩智、慕容复等不知段延庆在暗中指点,但见虚竹妙着纷呈,接连吃了两小块黑子,忍不住喝采。 玄难喃喃自语:“这局棋本来纠缠于得失胜败之中,以致无可破解,虚竹这一着不着意于生死,更不着意于胜败,反而勘破了生死,得到解脱……”他隐隐似有所悟,却又捉摸不定,自知一生耽于武学,于禅定功夫大有欠缺,忽想:“聋哑先生与函谷八友专鹜杂学,以致武功不如丁春秋,我先前还笑他们走入了歧路。可是我毕生专练武功,不勤参禅,不急了生死,岂不是更加走上了歧路?”想到此节,霎时之间全身大汗淋漓。
段誉初时还关注棋局,到得后来,一双眼睛又只放在王语嫣身上,他越看越是神伤,但见王语嫣的眼光,始终没须臾离开过慕容复。段誉心中只说:“我走了罢,我走了罢!再耽下去,只有多历苦楚,说不定当场便要吐血。”但要他自行离开王语嫣,却又如何能够?他寻思:“等王姑娘回过头来,我便跟她说:'王姑娘,恭喜你已和表哥相会,我今日得多见你一面,实是有缘。我这可要走了!'她如果说:'好,你走罢!'那我只好走了。但如果她说:'不用忙,我还有话跟你说。'那么我便等着,瞧她有什么话吩咐。” 其实,段誉明知王语嫣不会回头来瞧他一眼,更不会说“不用忙,我还有话跟你说”。突然之间,王语嫣后脑的柔发微微一动。段誉一颗心怦怦而跳:“她回头过来了!”却听得她轻轻叹了口气,低声叫道:“表哥!” 慕容复凝视棋局,见白棋已占上风,正在着着进迫,心想:“这几步棋我也想得出来。万事起头难,便是第一着怪棋,无论如何想不出。”王语嫣低声叫唤,他竟没听见。 王语嫣又是轻轻叹息,慢慢的转过头来。 段誉心中大跳:“她转过头来了!她转过头来了!” 王语嫣一张俏丽的脸庞果然转了过来。段誉看到她脸上带着一丝淡淡的忧郁,眼神中更有幽怨之色,寻思:“自从她与慕容复公子并肩而来,神色间始终欢喜无限,怎地忽然不高兴起来?难道……难道为了心中对我也有一点儿牵挂吗?”只见她眼光更向右转,和他的眼光相接,段誉向前踏了一步,想说:“王姑娘,你有什么话说?”但王语嫣的眼光缓缓移了开去,向着远处凝望了一会,又转向慕容复。 段誉一颗心更向下低沉,说不尽的苦涩:“她不是不瞧我,可比不瞧我更差上十倍。她眼光对住了我,然而是视而不见。她眼中见到了我,我的影子却没进入她的心中。她只是在凝思她表哥的事,哪里有半分将我段誉放在心上。唉,不如走了罢,不如走了罢!”
那边虚竹听从段延庆的指点落子,眼见黑棋不论如何应法,都要被白棋吃去一块,但如黑棋放开一条生路,那么白棋就此冲出重围,那时别有天地,再也奈何它不得了。 苏星河凝思半晌,笑吟吟的应了一着黑棋。段延庆传音道:“下'上'位七八路!”虚竹依言下子,他对弈道虽所知甚少,但也知此着一下,便解破了这个珍珑棋局,拍手笑道:“好像是成了罢?” 苏星河满脸笑容,拱手道:“小神僧天赋英才,可喜可贺。” 虚竹忙还礼道:“不敢,不敢,这个不是我……”他正要说出这是受了师伯祖的指点,那“传音入密”声音道:“此中秘密,千万不可揭穿。险境未脱,更须加倍的小心在意。”虚竹只道是玄难再加指示,便垂首道:“是,是!” 苏星河站起身来,说道:“先师布下此局,数十年来无人能解,小神僧解开这个珍珑,在下感激不尽。”虚竹不明其中缘由,只得谦虚道:“我这是误打误撞,全凭长辈见爱,老先生过奖,实在愧不敢当。” 苏星河走到那三间木屋之前,伸手肃客,道:“小神僧,请进!” 虚竹见这三间木屋建构得好生奇怪,竟没门户,不知如何进去,更不知进去作甚,一时呆在当地,没了主意。只听得那声音又道:“棋局上冲开一条出路,乃是硬战苦斗而致。木屋无门,你也用少林派武功硬劈好了。”虚竹道:“如此得罪了!”摆个马步,右手提起,发掌向板门上劈了过去。 他武功有限,当日被丁春秋大袖一拂,便即倒地,给星宿派门人按住擒获,幸而如此,内力得保不失。然在场上这许多高手眼中,他这一掌之力毕竟不值一哂,幸好那门板并不坚牢,喀喇一声,门板裂开了一缝。虚竹又劈两掌,这才将门板劈开,但手掌已然隐隐生疼。 南海鳄神哈哈大笑,说道:“少林派的硬功,实在稀松平常!”虚竹回头道:“小僧是少林派中最不成器的徒儿,功夫浅薄,但不是少林派武功不成。”只听那声音道:“快快进去,不可回头,不要理会旁人!”虚竹道:“是!”举步便踏了进去。 只听得丁春秋的声音叫道:“这是本门的门户,你这小和尚岂可擅入?”跟着砰砰两声巨响,虚竹只觉一股劲风倒卷上来,要将他身子拉将出去,可是跟着两股大力在他背心和臀部猛力一撞,身不由主,便是一个筋斗,向里直翻了进去。 他不知这一下已是死里逃生,适才丁春秋发掌暗袭,要制他死命,鸠摩智则运起“控鹤功”,要拉他出来。但段延庆以杖上暗劲消去了丁春秋的一掌,苏星河处身在他和鸠摩智之间,以左掌消解了“控鹤功”,右掌连拍了两下,将他打了进去。 这两掌力道刚猛,虚竹撞破一重板壁后,额头砰的一下,又撞在一重板壁之上,只撞得昏天黑地,险些晕去,过了半晌,这才站起身来,摸摸额角,已自肿起了一大块。但见自己处身在一间空空荡荡、一无所有的房中。他想找寻门户,但这房竟然无门无窗,只有自己撞破板壁而跌进来的一个空洞。他呆了呆,便想从那破洞中爬出去。
只听得隔着板壁一个苍老低沉的声音传了过来:“既然来了,怎么还要出去?” 虚竹转过身子,说道:“请老前辈指点途径。” 那声音道:“途径是你自己打出来的,谁也不能教你。我这棋局布下后,数十年来无人能解,今日终于给你拆开,你还不过来!” 虚竹听到“我这棋局”四字,不由得毛发悚然,颤声道:“你……你……你……”他听得苏星河口口声声说这棋局是他“先师”所制,这声音是人是鬼?只听那声音又道:“时机稍纵即逝,我等了三十年,没多少时候能再等你了,乖孩儿,快快进来罢!” 虚竹听那声音甚是和蔼慈祥,显然全无恶意,当下更不多想,左肩在那板壁上一撞,喀喇喇一响,那板壁已日久腐朽,当即破了一洞。 虚竹一眼望将进去,不由得大吃一惊,只见里面又是一间空空荡荡的房间,却有一个人坐在半空。他第一个念头便是:“有鬼!”吓得只想转身而逃,却听得那人说道:“唉,原来是个小和尚!唉,还是个相貌好生丑陋的小和尚,难,难,难!唉,难,难,难!” 虚竹听他三声长叹,连说了六个“难”字,再向他凝神瞧去,这才看清,原来这人身上有一条黑色绳子缚着,那绳子另一端连在横梁之上,将他身子悬空吊起。只因他身后板壁颜色漆黑,绳子也是黑色,二黑相叠,绳子便看不出来,一眼瞧去,宛然是凌空而坐。 虚竹的相貌本来颇为丑陋,浓眉大眼,鼻孔上翻,双耳招风,嘴唇甚厚,加上此刻撞破板壁时脸上又受了些伤,更加的难看。他自幼父母双亡,少林寺中的和尚心生慈悲,将他收养在寺中,寺中僧众不是虔诚清修,便是专心学武,谁也没来留神他的相貌是俊是丑。佛家言道,人的身子乃是个“臭皮囊”,对这个臭皮囊长得好不好看,若是多加关怀,于证道大有妨碍。因此那人说他是个“好生丑陋的小和尚”,虚竹生平还是第一次听见。 他微微抬头,向那人瞧去。只见他长须三尺,没一根斑白,脸如冠玉,更无半丝皱纹,年纪显然已经不小,却仍神采飞扬,风度闲雅。虚竹微感惭愧:“说到相貌,我当真和他是天差地远了。”这时心中已无惧意,躬身行礼,说道:“小僧虚竹,拜见前辈。” 那人点了点头,道:“你姓什么?”虚竹一怔,道:“出家之人,早无俗家姓氏。”那人道:“你出家之前姓什么?”虚竹道:“小僧自幼出家,向来便无姓氏。” 那人向他端相半晌,叹了口气,道:“你能解破我的棋局,聪明才智,自是非同小可,但相貌如此,却终究不行,唉,难得很。我瞧终究是白费心思,反而枉送了你的性命。小师父,我送一份礼物给你,你便去罢!” 虚竹听那老人语气,显是有一件重大难事,深以无人相助为忧,大乘佛法第一讲究“度众生一切苦厄”,当即说道:“小僧于棋艺一道,实在浅薄得紧,老前辈这个棋局,也不是小僧自己拆解的。但若老前辈有什么难事要办,小僧虽然本领低微,却也愿勉力而为,至于礼物,可不敢受赐。” 那老人道:“你有这番侠义心肠,倒是不错。你棋艺不高,武功浅薄,都不相干,你既能来到这里,那便是有缘。只不过……只不过……你相貌太也难看。”说着不住摇头。 虚竹微微一笑,说道:“相貌美丑,乃无始以来业报所聚,不但自己做不得主,连父母也做不得主。小僧貌丑,令前辈不快,这就告辞了。”说着退了两步。 虚竹正待转身,那老人道:“且慢!”衣袖扬起,搭在虚竹右肩之上。虚竹身子略略向下一沉,只觉这衣
