Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Eight
Xu Zhu looked at the deep valley, he was at a loss what to do, seeing the anxious appearance of the girls, he thought: "They all call me master, when encountering a problem, my master is helpless, what is that? It is said in the sutra:' Maybe someone came to ask for the identity of hands, feet, ears, nose, head, flesh and blood, and bone marrow. When the Bodhisattva Mahasattva saw the person who came to ask for it, he was able to give it all with joy. 'The first of the six perfections of a Bodhisattva is to give, so what should I be afraid of?" So he took off He took off the robe that Fu Minyi had sewed, and said, "Sister-in-law Shi, please borrow the weapon." Mrs. Shi said, "Yes!" Turning the lancet upside down, she bowed and handed over the handle.
Xu Zhu took the saber in his hand, Beiming's true energy was transported to the edge of the blade, with a slight twitch of his wrist, with a light brushing sound, he cut off half of the iron chain fastened in the cave in the cliff.The lancet is thin and slender, it's only sharp, and it's not a treasured knife, but after his qi is concentrated, it can cut iron chains like bamboo and wood.This section of iron chain is about 2zhang to 23chi, Xu Zhu grabbed the iron chain, returned the knife to Aunt Shi, raised his breath and jumped towards the opposite bank.
The group of girls exclaimed in unison.Granny Yu, Sister-in-law Shi, Fu Minyi and others all shouted, "Master, don't take risks!"
Amid the sound of shouts, Xu Zhu has already reached the canyon, the qi in his body swirls, he flies forward lightly, suddenly his qi becomes turbid, he falls down, he immediately swung out the iron chain, caught the broken chain hanging from the opposite bank.With such a force, the body sank and rose again, and landed on the opposite bank.He turned around and said, "Everyone, take a break, I'll go check it out."
Granny Yu was surprised, admiring, and grateful, and said in unison: "Master, be careful!"
Xu Zhu ran towards the back of the mountain where the scream came from, he walked through a narrow path like a stone alley, he saw two female corpses laying on the ground, their heads separated, blood gushing from their necks.Xu Zhu folded his palms together and said: "Amitabha, sin, sin!" Recited the "Rebirth Mantra" hastily to the two corpses, walked quickly towards the peak along the path, the higher he walked, the white mist around him became more and more Nong, in less than an hour, he had already reached the top of Misty Peak. Among the clouds and mist, there were pine trees everywhere, but he couldn't hear a human voice, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that all the girls of the Great Heaven Department were killed? Are you really doing evil?" "I picked a few pine cones, put them in my arms, and said to myself, "The pine cones will throw people to death. I must strike lightly. I can only scare the enemy away, not kill people."
I saw an underground avenue paved with bluestone slabs, each piece of bluestone is about eight feet long and three feet wide, very neat, to pave such an avenue, the project is extremely huge, it seems beyond the capabilities of all the girls under Child Elder .This Qingshi Avenue is about two miles long. At the end of the stone road, a huge stone fortress stands majestically. On the left and right sides of the gate of the fortress, there is a stone-carved vulture, more than three feet high, with sharp beaks and huge claws. Cover up, there is still no one around.
Xu Zhu dodges to enter the door, passing through two courtyards, only one person shouted sharply: "Where is the place where the thief hides the treasure? Do you want to tell me?" A woman's voice scolded: "Slave, what's the matter?" To this day, do we still want to live? Don’t be wishful thinking.” Another man’s voice said: “Master Yun, if you have something to say, why use violence? Isn’t it too rude to deal with women like this? "
Xu Zhu heard that the persuasive voice was from Mr. Duan of Dali, when Mr. Wu wanted everyone to kill Child Elder, this Mr. Duan was the only one who dissented, thinking: "This Mr. doesn't seem to know martial arts, but he is a hero. His chivalrous heart is far above all martial arts masters, which is very admirable."
I only heard the island master surnamed Yun say: "Hmph, it's easy for you ghost girls to want to die, but how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? I have seventeen kinds of strange punishments on Bishi Island, and I will explain them one by one later. You ghost girls try to understand it. I heard that the strange punishments in Heishidong and Fusha Island are much more severe than mine in Bishi Island, and you might as well open the eyes of the brothers." Many people applauded loudly, even more Someone said: "Everyone can make gestures as much as possible, and see which hole and which island's penalty will take effect first."
From the sound, there were no less than hundreds of people in the hall, plus the echo in the hall, it was extremely noisy.Xu Zhu wanted to find a crack in the door to peep inside, but this hall is all made of huge stones, there is no gap at all.In a flash, he stretched out his hand to wipe the dirt on the ground a few times, and wiped the mud all over his face, before stepping into the hall.
I saw that the tables and chairs in the hall were full of people, more than half of them had no seats, so they sat on the ground, and some people walked around, chatting and laughing casually.There are about twenty women in yellow shirts sitting on the ground in the hall, they obviously have their acupuncture points tapped and cannot move, more than half of them are dripping with blood, the injuries are serious, they must be the girls of Great Heaven Department.The hall was originally in a mess, when Xu Zhu stepped into the hall door, some people also took a look at him, seeing that he is not a woman, he is not from Vulture Palace, they only wondered if he was a doorman brought by some cave master or island master Brother, no one paid much attention.
Xu Zhu sat on the threshold, looked around, he saw Boss Wu sitting on the west chair, his face was haggard, but the aggressive and surly look still showed in his eyes.A burly black man with a whip in his hand stood beside the girls of the Great Heaven Department, yelling and cursing, threatening them to reveal where Child Elder hid the treasure.But the girls refused to say anything.
Wu Lao Dao: "You girls are really stubborn. Let me tell you, Child Elder was killed by her junior sister Li Qiushui long ago. I witnessed this with my own eyes. Could it be fake? You surrender as soon as possible, we will make up our minds Don't make it difficult."
A middle-aged woman in a yellow shirt screamed: "Nonsense! Your lord's martial arts are unrivaled in the world, and she has become an indestructible body. Who can hurt her old man? You are trying to get the secret to crack the 'Life and Death Talisman'." , don’t have this autumn dream. Don’t say that the lord will be safe and sound, and he will go to the peak in a blink of an eye to punish you wicked traitors. Inside, everyone will groan and die in agony."
Boss Wu said coldly: "Okay, if you don't believe me, I'll show you something." He took a bundle from his back and opened it, revealing a human leg.Xu Zhu and all the girls recognize that the panties, shoes and socks on that leg are exactly Child Elder's lower limbs, they can't help shouting "Ah".Wu Lao Dao: "Li Qiushui chopped Child Elder into eight pieces and divided them into the valley. I picked up a piece at random. You might as well take a closer look to see if it's real or not."
All the girls of Juntian Department recognized that it was Child Elder's left leg, guessing what Boss Wu said was true, they couldn't help crying loudly.
All the cave masters and island masters cheered loudly, and they all said: "The thief's wife is dead, it's really wonderful!" Someone said: "Celebrate with the whole world, and rejoice with the thin sea!" Someone said: "Boss Wu, you are so patient. Such good news, to hide it until now, should be punished with three cups of wine." However, some people said: "Since the thief is dead, if no one in the world can decipher the life and death talisman on us..."
All of a sudden, there were several "Woo-Woo" sounds from the crowd, like howling a wolf or barking a dog, the sound was very terrifying.Everyone changed their colors when they heard it, and in an instant, there was no other sound in the hall except for the cry of a wounded beast.I saw a fat man rolling around on the ground, scratching his face with his hands, tearing off his clothes on his chest, and then violently tearing at his chest, as if he wanted to dig out his own heart and lungs.In just a moment, his hands were covered with blood, his face and chest were also covered with blood, and his screams became more and more severe.Everyone seemed to be seeing a ghost, and kept backing away.Several people whispered: "The Life and Death Talisman is here to urge you to die!"
Although Xu Zhu was also hit by the Life and Death Talisman, he took the antidote immediately, and was taught by the Child Elder to resolve it, he has never experienced such cruel torture, seeing the fat man's frightening situation, he deeply understands why everyone is like this Because of fear of Child Elder.
Everyone seemed to be afraid that the toxicity of the life-death talisman would be contagious, and no one dared to go forward and try to relieve his pain.In a short while, the fat man had torn all his clothes to pieces, and his body was covered with scratches and bloodstains.
Someone in the crowd shouted angrily: "Brother! Be quiet, don't panic!" A man rushed out and shouted: "Let me touch your acupuncture points for you, and we will try to heal you." That man and the fat man Their looks are a bit similar, they are younger, and they are not that fat. They are obviously his brothers.The fat man's eyes were straightened, as if he didn't hear anything.The man walked over step by step, his expression was full of vigilance and fear, when he was three feet away from him, he raised his finger abruptly and pointed at his "Jianjing point".The fat man turned his body sideways, avoided his fingers, turned his arms around, hugged him tightly, opened his mouth and bit his face.The man shouted: "Brother, let go! It's me!" The fat man just bit like a mad dog.His brother struggled with all his strength, but he couldn't break free. In an instant, a piece of flesh was bitten off his face, dripping blood, and he screamed out in pain.
Duan Yu said to Wang Yuyan: "Miss Wang, why do you think of a way to save them?" Wang Yuyan frowned and said: "This man has gone crazy, his strength is boundless, and he didn't use any martial arts, I can't help it." Yu turned to Murong Fu and said: "Brother Murong, is your Murong family's miraculous skill of 'treating the other body with the same way' available?" Murong Fu didn't answer, his face was displeased.Bao BuTong said viciously: "Are you telling my son to learn how to be a mad dog, and you want to bite him too?"
Duan Yu said apologetically: "I'm wrong, don't blame Brother Bao, don't blame Brother Murong!" Walking to the side of the fat man, he said: "Brother Zun, this man is your younger brother, please let him go." But the fat man hugged his arms even tighter, and he let out a roar like a beast's roar.
Master Yun grabbed a woman in a yellow shirt and shouted: "Most of the people in the hall here have won the life-and-death talisman of the old villain. Your whole body is bitten to pieces, are you afraid?" The woman glanced at the fat man with a terrified look on her face.Island Master Yun said: "Anyway, Child Elder is dead, you told her secret place and cured everyone, everyone is very grateful, no one will make things difficult for you." The woman said: "It's not that I don't want to say , really... really no one knows. The lord will not let us... our servants see it."
Murong Fu followed the people up the mountain, originally he wanted to help them, show favor and take these strangers for his own use.Now seeing that although Child Elder is dead, the life and death talisman she planted on each of them is undecipherable, it seems that this "life and death talisman" is a kind of poison, beyond the power of martial arts, if one by one is killed by the poison, they will be killed A plan turned into a dream.He shook his head with Deng Baichuan and Gongyegan, feeling that there was nothing they could do.
Although Island Master Yun knew that what the yellow-clothed woman said was probably true, he felt that his acupoints were sore from being hit by the life-death talisman, and he seemed to be showing signs of an attack. In a rage, he shouted: "Okay, don't tell me! I'll beat you to death!" Say it again, you stinky girl!" Picking up the long whip, he hit the woman between the head and the head, the force of the whip was heavy and fierce, and the woman was about to be beaten to pieces.
Suddenly there was a chirping sound, a hidden weapon flew from the door and hit the woman's waist, the woman was knocked out of the way for more than ten feet, there was a loud slap, the long whip hit the underground stone slab, and stone chips splashed everywhere.I saw a yellow-brown ball rolling around on the ground, but it was a pine cone.Everyone was shocked: "Knocking people away by more than ten feet with a small pine ball, the internal force is no small matter, who is that?"
Boss Wu suddenly remembered something, and cried out: "Child Elder, it's Child Elder!"
That day when he hid behind a rock, he saw Li Qiushui cut off Child Elder's left leg, so he wrapped the broken leg in an oilcloth and brought it with him.He thought that Li Qiushui had probably chased and killed the child elder, but he didn't witness her death, so he was always worried.That day Xu Zhu threw a pine ball through his stomach, this technique was taught by Child Elder.Boss Wu had suffered a lot, when he saw the pine cone reappeared, he was the first to think that it was the arrival of the child elder, how could he not be scared out of his wits?
Everyone heard Boss Wu yelling "Child Elder", they all turned to face outside, the sound of weapons being drawn out in the hall was one piece, everyone took their weapons in their hands, and turned backwards at the same time flinch.
Murong Fu instead took two steps towards the gate, wanting to see what this child elder looks like.In fact, that day he used the technique of "Fighting and Shifting the Stars" to defuse Xu Zhu and Child Elder from falling from the sky, and he had seen Child Elder once, but he never knew that eighteen or nineteen year old girl with a beautiful face like a spring flower would be the demons The first thought of Tianshan Child Elder made her tremble with fear.
Duan Yu stood in front of Wang Yuyan, fearing that she would be hurt.But Wang Yuyan called: "Cousin, be careful!"
All eyes were on the gate, but after a long while, there was no movement at the gate.
Bao BuTong shouted: "Child grandma, if you get annoyed by our uninvited guests, then come in and fight!" After a while, there was still no sound outside the door.Feng Bo evilly said: "Alright, let Feng Mou be the first to come to learn the brilliant move of Child Elder, 'Knowing that you can't beat him, but you still have to fight', that is Feng Mou's bad temper that will never change until death." Protecting the front, he rushed to the door.Deng Baichuan, Gongyegan, and Baotong are like brothers with him, knowing that he is not Child Elder's opponent, they follow out together.
Some of the cave masters and island masters admired the bravery of the four, while some laughed secretly: "You have never seen how powerful the child elder is, but you come to pretend to be a hero, and you will suffer for a while, then you will regret it." Hearing Feng Ebo and Bao BuTong's voices sharpened and then lowered, they challenged Child Elder loudly outside the hall, but no one answered.
The pine cone that rescued the woman in yellow shirt just now was sent by Xu Zhu.Seeing that he caused everyone to be so confused, he felt very sorry and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's my fault. Child Elder is indeed dead, everyone don't need to panic." Seeing that fat man was still biting his brother, he thought to himself "If you bite any more, neither of us will survive." Walking over, he reached out and patted the fat man's vest, using the "Tianshan Liuyang Palm" kung fu, a burst of yang and internal force, and immediately put the life and death talisman in the fat man's body. His cold poison was subdued, but he didn't know where his life and death talisman was, but he couldn't remove it for him. The fat man loosened his arms, sat on the ground, gasped for breath, with a tired expression, and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you like this? Tell me, tell me, brother will avenge you." His brother was overjoyed when he saw his elder brother regained his sanity, and he didn't care about the serious injury on his face, so he couldn't stop saying: "Brother, you're all right, brother, you're all right!" Xu Zhu stretched out his hand and patted every woman in yellow shirt on the shoulder, and said: "Are you all from the Juntian Division? You sisters from the Yangtian, Zhutian and Haotian divisions have all arrived at Jietian Bridge, because of the iron chain It's broken, and you can't come here for a while. Do you have any iron chains or thick ropes here? Let's go and pick them up." In his palm, Beiming's true energy swelled, and wherever he touched it, the daughter of the Great Heaven Department, no matter who was sealed, Which acupoint is it? The blocked meridians are immediately shaken away, and there is no longer any blockage. All the girls were surprised and stood up one after another, saying: "Thank you for your help, I dare not ask you for your name." Some young women were impatient, so they rushed to the gate and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Let the eight sisters come over, and then fight to the death with the rebels." While turning around, he waved his hands and thanked Xu Zhu. Xu Zhu cupped his hands to thank him, he said: "Don't dare, dare not! How can I dare to thank you all? There is someone else who rescued you, it's just that I have a fake hand." He meant to say that his martial arts The internal strength comes from three teachers including Child Elder, but in fact it was Child Elder and others who rescued the daughters. Qunhao saw that he patted casually, and the acupoints of all the women in yellow shirts were immediately released. There was no need to ask where the acupoints were blocked, and there was no need to push the uterine blood at the corresponding acupoints. This kind of technique was not only unprecedented, but also I have never heard of it before, seeing that he is not impressive, at such a young age, he definitely does not have this kind of internal energy, hearing him say that someone else did it to him, I believe that Child Elder has already arrived in the Vulture Palace. Boss Wu used to spend several days with Xu Zhu on the snow peak, although Xu Zhu's hair has grown long and his face is covered with mud, but when he opened his mouth to speak, Boss Wu suddenly remembered, recognized him, and threw himself to bully him Beside him, he clasped the vein door on his right hand, and shouted: "Little monk, Tong...Has Child Elder arrived here yet?" Xu Zhu said: "Mr. Wu, has the injury on your belly healed yet? I...I can't be considered a Buddhist disciple now, alas! I'm ashamed to say... I'm really ashamed." Speaking of this point, I can't help His face was flushed, but there was a lot of mud on his face, which no one else could see. As soon as Boss Wu made a move, he seized his veins, forgive him for not being able to resist, and now use more internal energy to make him beg for mercy in pain, thinking that Child Elder is very kind to this little monk, I will take him hostage once I succeed , Child Elder is going to hurt me, it's inevitable that she will throw a mouse trick.Who would have thought that Xu Zhu didn't know that even when he stimulated his internal energy, the internal energy he exerted was like a bull in mud, disappearing without a trace.Boss Wu was terrified in his heart, he didn't dare to push his inner strength any more, but he refused to let go of it. As soon as Qunhao saw the part that Boss Wu was holding, he knew that Xu Zhu had fallen into his grasp, even if his kung fu was better than Boss Wu, he was irresistible, he had to let Boss Wu slaughter him, they all thought: "This If the boy is really a master, the key point will never be so easily controlled by others." Everyone shouted and asked: "Boy, who are you? How did you come here?" "What's your name? Who is your teacher?" "Who sent you here? Where is Child Elder? Is she dead or alive?" Xu Zhu replied one by one, with a very humble expression: "My Daoist name... Daoist name is Xu Zhuzi. Child Elder is indeed dead, her old body has been transported to Jietian Bridge. I have a long history with my teacher, alas, I am ashamed to say, Seriously... Seriously... I made a big mistake, so I don't want to tell you. If you don't believe me, you can pay homage to her old man's remains later. I came here to handle the funeral affairs for Child Elder. Most of you are her The old man's old department, I advise everyone not to reminisce about the old grudges, and everyone worships in front of her old man's spirit, wouldn't it be good to erase all kinds of hatred?" He said every sentence, feeling ashamed and sad at the same time, saying something here and there. One sentence, that is, incoherent, the tone is not smooth, and in the end it is full of wishful thinking. Qun Hao felt that this kid was talking nonsense, a little insane, his fear gradually disappeared, and his arrogance emerged, and some people even scolded: "What kind of boy is it? How dare you want us to die before the dead thief Kowtow?" "Damn it, how did the old villain die?" "Did she die under the hands of his junior sister Li Qiushui? Is this leg hers?" Xu Zhu said: "Even if you really have deep enmity with Child Elder, since she has passed away, then you don't need to hold grudges any more, it's a bit harsh to keep saying 'old villain'. Mr. Wu is right, Child Elder did die in Her junior sister Li Qiushui's subordinates, this leg is indeed her old man's body. Alas, life is like a dream, like dew is like electricity, although the child grandma's martial arts are superb, in the end, her kung fu is exhausted, and it is inevitable that she will turn into loess. Namo Amitabha, Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Namo Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, who lead the child grandmother to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, the Lotus Pond Pure Land!" Qunhao heard him nagging that it is true that Child Elder is dead, he was immediately relieved.Someone asked: "When Child Elder was dying, were you by her side?" Xu Zhu said: "Yes. For the past few months, I have been serving her old lady." Qunhao glanced at each other and felt the same A thought quickly turned around: "The secret to cracking the life-death talisman may lie with this kid." The blue shadow flickered, one of them approached him and pinched the pulse gate of Xu Zhu's left hand, following Boss Wu, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, a sharp weapon was placed in his neck, a sharp voice said: "Boss Wu, Let him go." As soon as Boss Wu saw the person holding Xu Zhu's left wrist, he expected that this person's buddies would attack at the same time, when he was about to protect himself, he was already a step too late.Only the person behind said: "If you don't let go, this sword will be cut down." Wu Boss let go of Xu Zhu's wrist, jumped forward a few steps, turned around, and said: "Zhuya twin monsters , the surname Wu will never forget what happened today." The one who forced him with a sword was a long and thin man, he said with a sinister smile: "Boss Wu, no matter what problem arises, the two monsters from Zhuya will follow." The big monster buckled Xu Zhu's veins, and the two monsters came to search his pockets .Xu Zhu thought to himself: "You search if you want, anyway, there is nothing shady around me." The second monster took out the things in his arms one by one, the first thing they found was what Wu Yazi gave him. That picture, immediately unfold the scroll. Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall looked at the painting together.The painting was stepped on by the child elder a few times, and was drenched in the ice cellar later, but the beauty in the picture is still lifelike, as if she is about to walk out of the painting, the painting is really superb.When everyone saw it, they all looked at Wang Yuyan at the same time.Some people said: "Hey!" Some people said "Oh!" Some people said: "Bah!" . Qunhao originally hoped that what was drawn on the scroll was a map or a landscape, and he could follow it to find the elixir or secret to crack the life-death talisman, but unexpectedly it was an image of Wang Yuyan, hey, oh, yah , After humming, they were all disappointed.Only Duan Yu, Murong Fu, and Wang Yuyan said "ah" at the same time, as for the meaning of this "ah", the three of them are different from each other.Wang Yuyan saw her own portrait hidden beside Xu Zhu, she was surprised, her cheeks blushed, she thought: "Could it be... Could it be that this person is also like Mr. Duan since he saw me at Zhenlong chess game that day , put me... put me in my heart? Otherwise, why would I hide my appearance?" Duan Yu thought: "Miss Wang is the incarnation of a celestial being, and her appearance is peerless. This little master admires her so much, that's not enough. Alas, it’s a pity that my paintbrush is not as good as this little master’s, otherwise I would also paint a portrait of Miss Wang, and when I break up with her in the future, I will face the portrait day and night, which can relieve the pain of lovesickness. But Murong Fu thought: "This little monk is also a toad who wants to eat swan meat." The two monsters threw the picture on the ground, and went to search Xu Zhu's pocket, after that, what they took out was a certificate of graduating from Xu Zhu in Shaolin Temple, a few taels of silver, a few pieces of dry food, a pair of cloth socks, looking at it, nothing happened One is related to the life and death talisman. When the Zhuya two monsters searched Xu Zhu, the group of tyrants were all watching, as soon as they saw something strange, they rushed to snatch it, unexpectedly they didn't find anything. The big monster in Zhuya scolded: "Smelly thief, what did the old villain tell you when she was dying?" Xu Zhu said: "What did you ask Child Elder when she was dying? Well, the old man said: 'No She, not her, not her! Haha, haha, haha!' Laughed three times, and then died." Qunhao was puzzled, thinking carefully about the meaning of the phrase "not her" and three laughs, his temperament The impatient ones started to drink and curse. The big monster in Zhuya shouted: "Damn it, what is it not her, hahaha? What else did the old villain say?" Xu Zhu said: "Mr. Senior, when you mention Child Elder, you'd better show some respect , don't scold nonsense." The Zhuya monster was furious, raised his left palm, and shot it down on his head, cursing: "Smelly thief, I want to scold the old villain, but so what?" Suddenly there was a flash of cold light, a long sword stretched out, lay across Xu Zhu's head, the blade stood upright.If Zhuya Monster's palm continues to slap down, before it touches Xu Zhu's scalp, his own palm must be cut off on the blade first.Shocked, he hastily withdrew his palm, but in a hurry, he leaned back and retreated three steps, he did not pull Xu Zhu away, and let go of his wrist, but he felt a dull pain in his left palm, Lifting the palm and looking, he saw a very thin sword mark across the palm, oozing blood, he couldn't help being startled and terrified, thinking that if he closed the palm a little too late, wouldn't the palm be useless?He glared angrily at the person who drew the sword, he saw that the person was wearing a green shirt, about fifty years old, with a long beard and a handsome face, he recognized him as the "Sword God" Zhuo Bufan.Judging from the speed and precision with which Shicai moved this sword, it can be seen that his sword skills have reached the pinnacle.He also remembered that day when the island owner of Jianyu Island left the crowd, he beheaded this "Sword God" in an instant. Although he was irritable, he didn't dare to easily become an enemy of such a powerful master. Said: "Your Excellency shot to hurt me, what is your intention?" Zhuo Bufan smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone wants to find out the method of cracking the life and death talisman from this mouth, but my brother suddenly wants to kill this person. The life and death talisman on the brothers' bodies is calling for life, how can I explain it?" "Zhuya's big monster was at a loss for words, and only said: "This... this..." Zhuo Bufan put his sword back into its sheath, turned slightly sideways, and lightly bumped his elbow on the shoulder of the two monsters. After four steps, the blood in the chest and abdomen surged, and he almost fell down. With great difficulty, he stood still, but he didn't dare to yell or curse. Zhuo Bufan said to Xu Zhu: "Little brother, when Child Elder was dying, what did she say besides saying 'it's not her' and laughing three times?" Xu Zhu's face turned red suddenly, his expression was shy, he lowered his head slowly, so he remembered the time when Child Elder said: "You bring that painting, let me tear it up with my own hands, I don't have anything to worry about, so I will I can show you the way to find the girl in your dream." Unexpectedly, when Child Elder saw the painting, she found that the person in the painting was not Li Qiushui, it was funny and sad, and she just ignored it.He thought: "Child Elder passed away suddenly, no one in the world will know the whereabouts of the girl in the dream, I'm afraid I will never be able to see her again in this life." Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sad. Zhuo Bufan saw that his expression was different, he only knew that there was some important secret hidden in his heart, and he said kindly: "Little brother, what exactly did Child Elder tell you, please tell me, my surname Zhuo will not It's difficult for you, and there are great benefits for you." Xu Zhu's ears turned red, he shook his head and said: "I absolutely... can't say anything about this matter." Zhuo Bufan said: "Why not Say?" Xu Zhu said: "Speaking of this matter... Speaking of it... Well, in short, I can't say it, you killed me, and I won't say it." Zhuo Bufan said: "You really don't want to say it?" Xu Zhuo said. Zhu said: "Don't say it." Zhuo Bufan stared at him for a moment, saw that he was very determined, and suddenly drew out his long sword with a swipe, the cold light flashed, and there were a few light chi chi chi chi sounds, the long sword seemed to have swiped a few times on a table of eight immortals, followed by After a few slaps, the Eight Immortals table was divided into nine neat pieces and fell to the ground.In this instant, he made two vertical swords, two horizontal swords, four consecutive swords, and drew a "well" character on the table.What's even more strange is that the nine planks are all square, with no difference in size, width, and narrowness, as if they were measured with a ruler and then slowly cut into pieces.There was thunderous applause in the hall. Wang Yuyan said softly: "This Zhougong sword is the unique skill of the 'One-word Huijianmen' in Jianyang, Fujian. This old Mr. Zhuo must be a master of the 'One-word Huijianmen'." After the crowd applauded in unison , and then they all stared at Zhuo Bufan, even more silently, although her voice was soft, these few words came to everyone's ears clearly. Zhuo Bufan laughed, and said: "This girl really has good eyesight, she can actually tell the name of the old sect and sword move. It's rare, rare." Everyone thought: "I've never heard that there is a 'one-word Huijian sect' in Fujian. ’, this old man’s swordsmanship is so powerful, his school should be the most powerful in the world, why is he so unknown?” Zhuo Bufan sighed and said: “In my school, there are only old men who are lonely, One is bare. There are sixty-two people from three generations of 'One Word Hui Jianmen', and thirty-three years ago, they were all killed by Tianshan Child Elder." Everyone's heart trembled, they all thought: "This person came to the Vulture Palace, so it is to avenge his family's great revenge." Seeing Zhuo Bufan's long sword flick, he said to Xu Zhu: "Little brother, how about I pass on these few sword techniques to you?" As soon as this statement came out, some of the group of heroes showed envy, but there were also many people who immediately showed hostility.If a person who learns martial arts is favored by a superior person, if he teaches one move or two styles, he will often benefit from it for a lifetime. He will become famous all over the world, and his life will be saved because of this.However, it is not uncommon for vicious gangsters to turn back on their mentors after they have learned the tricks. Therefore, martial arts masters must be strict in choosing disciples.Zhuo Bufan agreed to teach Xu Zhu superior swordsmanship for no reason, because he wanted to know Child Elder's last words in order to obtain the Life and Death Talisman. Xu Zhu hasn't replied yet, a woman's voice in the crowd said coldly: "Mr. Zhuo, are you also hit by the Life and Death Talisman?" Zhuo Bufan looked at that person, saw that the person who was speaking was a middle-aged Taoist nun, and said: "Why did Xiangu ask this question?" Duan Yu recognized this Taoist nun as Xin Shuangqing, the master of Wuliang Cave in Dali. She was originally the master of Wuliangjian Xizong, she was subdued by Child Elder's subordinates and renamed as Cave Master of Wuliang Cave.These days, he has never dared to meet Xin Shuangqing's eyes, nor did he dare to approach her subordinate Zuo Zimu, for fear that they would settle old scores. Seeing her speak at this time, he hurriedly hid behind Bao BuTong. Xin Shuangqing said: "If Mr. Zhuo hadn't been poisoned by the life-death talisman, why did he do everything possible to seek the way to break it? If Mr. Zhuo intends to blackmail us, then the brothers from Thirty-six Cave and Seventy-two Islands have just escaped the lion's kiss. , into the tiger's mouth again, I'm afraid I may not be willing. Although Mr. Zhuo is skilled in swordsmanship, if we are forced to have nowhere to go, the brothers will have no choice but to fight desperately." These words are neither arrogant nor humble, but With one word, Zhuo Bufan's intentions were exposed, and his words were aggressive. Immediately, more than ten people among the crowd responded: "Cave Master Xin's words are extremely good." Some people said: "Boy, what is Child Elder's last words, you should say it in public, otherwise everyone will chop you up, it's a shame. Not too good." Zhuo Bufan's long sword trembled, buzzing, and said: "Little brother, don't be afraid, you are by my side, who can touch a single hair of yours? You can only tell me the last words of Child Elder. If the three of you know, my sword skills cannot be passed on to you." Xu Zhu shook his head and said: "Child Elder's last words are only related to me and another person, but it has nothing to do with you. Besides, no matter what, I am determined not to say it. Although your sword skills Well, I don't want to learn either." Qunhao applauded loudly, and said: "Yes, yes! Good boy, he has a lot of backbone, what's the use of his swordsmanship?" There is nothing strange about it." Another human said: "Since this girl knows the origin of the sword art, she has the ability to break his sword art. Little brother, if you want to be a teacher, you should worship this little girl. What's more, in your arms I hid her portrait, haha, naturally I should worship her as my teacher." Zhuo Bufan was very embarrassed to hear everyone's cynicism, looked sideways at Wang Yuyan, and after a while, seeing that she remained silent, Zhuo Bufan was furious, and said in his heart: "Some people say you can defeat my sword skills, You didn’t deny it right away, are you acquiescing that you can break it?” In fact, Wang Yuyan was thinking in her heart: “Why is my cousin so unhappy? Are you angry with me? Did I offend him? Could it be… ...Could it be that the little master painted my portrait and hid it by his side, and my cousin is annoyed by it!" Yu didn't hear what the others said for a while. Zhuo Bufan glanced at the scroll of pictures thrown on the ground again, and suddenly remembered: "This kid drew her portrait and hid it in his arms, so he naturally has a lot of affection for her. I want him to confide Child Elder's last words, it is because of this little girl." You can't do it on your body, I have it!" Picking up the picture, stuffing it into Xu Zhu's arms, he said: "Little brother, I know all about your thoughts, hehe, a man and a woman are really a match made in heaven. It's just that someone is making trouble, you It's not easy to get what you want, but it's not easy. How about this, let me preside over it, and marry this girl to you as your wife, and immediately worship heaven and earth here, how about a bridal chamber in the Vulture Palace tonight?" He said with a smile Pointing at Wang Yuyan. "One Character Wisdom Sword Sect" masters and apprentices were all killed by Child Elder. At that time, Zhuo Bufan was not in Fujian, so he survived and never dared to go back. He fled to the remote and extremely cold place in Changbai Mountain to study swordsmanship, accidentally Obtained a sword scripture left by the senior masters, practiced hard for thirty years, finally achieved great swordsmanship, and was confident that he was invincible in the world. This time, he came out of the mountain and killed several famous masters in Hebei in one go, which is even more arrogant. There is no one to resist the long sword in the Taoist hand, who dares to disobey what he says? Xu Zhu's face turned red, he hurriedly said: "No, no! Mr. Zhuo must not misunderstand." Zhuo Bufan said: "Boys should get married, girls should get married, if you know lust, you will admire Shaoai, it's human nature, why should you be afraid of being ugly?" Xu Zhu couldn't help being in a panic, he said repeatedly: "This...this...it's not..." Zhuo Bufan shook his long sword, one move "Sky is like a vault", followed by another move "White mist", two moves mixed together, he handed it to Wang Yuyan, he wanted to draw her in the light of the sword, it was a rare thing, In order to exchange with Xu Zhu, ask him to reveal the secret. When Wang Yuyan saw these two moves, she said in her heart: "'The sky is like a vault' and 'White mist' are both false and one real. Just go straight into the palace and beat his confidants, and he will be forced to accept the move. "But although he knew the trick in his heart, he couldn't do it with his hands. Seeing the sword light shining on his head, he cried out "ah" in panic. Murong Fu saw that Zhuo Bufan's two moves had no intention of hurting Wang Yuyan, he thought: "I'm not in a hurry to attack, let's see what this old man surnamed Zhuo is up to? Will this little monk reveal secrets for his cousin?" 但段誉一见到卓不凡的剑招指向王语嫣，他也不懂剑招虚实，自然是大惊失色，情急之下，脚下展开“凌波微步”，疾冲过去，挡在王语嫣身前。卓不凡剑招虽快，段誉还是抢先了一步。长剑寒光闪处，嗤得一声轻响，剑尖在段誉胸口划了一条口子，自颈至腹，衣衫尽裂，伤及肌肤。总算卓不凡志在逼求虚竹心中的机密，不欲此时杀人树敌，这一剑手劲的轻重恰到好处，剑痕虽长，伤势却甚轻微。段誉吓得呆了，一低头见到自己胸膛和肚腹上如此长的一条剑伤，鲜血迸流，只道已被他开膛破腹，立时便要毙命，叫道：“王姑娘，你……你快躲开，我来挡他一阵。” 卓不凡冷笑道：“泥菩萨过江，自身难保，居然不自量力，来做护花之人。”转头向虚竹道：“小兄弟，看中这位姑娘的人可着实不少，我先动手给你除去一个情敌如何？”长剑剑尖指着段誉心口，相距一吋，抖动不定，只须轻轻一送，立即插入他的心脏。 虚竹大惊，叫道：“不可，万万不可！”生怕卓不凡杀死段誉，左手伸出，小指在他右腕“太渊穴”上轻轻一拂。卓不凡手上一麻，握着剑柄的五指便即松了。虚竹顺手将长剑抓在掌中。这一下夺剑，乃是“天山折梅手”中的高招，看似平平无奇，其实他小指的一拂之中，含有最上乘的“小无相功”，卓不凡的功力便再深三四十年，手中长剑一样的也给夺了下来。虚竹道：“卓先生，这位段公子是好人，不可伤他的性命。”顺手又将长剑塞还在卓不凡手中，低头去察看段誉伤势。 段誉叹道：“王姑娘，我……我要死了，但愿你与慕容兄百年齐眉，白头偕老。爹爹，妈妈……我……我……”他伤势其实并不厉害，只是以为自己胸膛肚腹给人剖开了，当然是非死不可，一泄气，身子向后便倒。 王语嫣抢着扶住，垂泪道：“段公子，你这全是为了我……” 虚竹出手如风，点了段誉胸腹间伤口左近的穴道，再看他伤口，登时放心，笑道：“段公子，你的剑伤不碍事，三四天便好。” 段誉身子给王语嫣扶住，又见她为自己哭泣，早已神魂飘荡，欢喜万分，问道：“王姑娘，你……你是为我流泪么？”王语嫣点了点头，珠泪又是滚滚而下。段誉道：“我段誉得有今日，他便再刺我几十剑，我便为你死几百次，也是甘心。”虚竹的话，两人竟都全没听进耳中。王语嫣是心中感激，情难自已。段誉见到了意中人的眼泪，又知这眼泪是为自己所流，哪里还关心自己的生死？ 虚竹夺剑还剑，只是一瞬间之事，除了慕容复看得清楚、卓不凡心中明白之外，旁人都道卓不凡手下留情，故意不取段誉性命。可是卓不凡心中惊怒之甚，实是难以形容，一转念间，心道：“我在长白山中巧得前辈遗留的剑经，苦练三十年，当世怎能尚有敌手？是了，想必这小子误打误撞，刚好碰到我手腕上的太渊穴。天下十分凑巧之事，原是有的。倘若他真是有意夺我手中兵刃，夺了之后，又怎会还我？瞧这小子小小年纪，能有多大气候，岂能夺得了卓某手中长剑？”心念及此，豪气又生，说道：“小子，你忒也多事！”长剑一递，剑尖指在虚竹的后心衣上，手劲轻送，要想刺破他的衣衫，便如对付段誉一般，令他也受些皮肉之苦。 虚竹这时体内北冥真气充盈流转，宛若实质，卓不凡长剑刺到，撞上了他体内真气，剑尖一歪，剑锋便从他身侧滑开。卓不凡大吃一惊，变招也真快捷，立时横剑削向虚竹胁下。这一招“玉带围腰”一剑连攻他前、右、后三个方位，三处都是致命的要害，凌厉狠辣。这时他已知虚竹武功之高，大出自己意料之外，这一招已是使上了全力。 虚竹“咦”的一声，身子微侧，不明白卓不凡适才还说得好端端地，何以突然翻脸，陡施杀手？嗤的一声，剑刃从他腋下穿过，将他的旧僧袍划破了长长的一条。卓不凡第二击不中，五分惊讶之外，更增了五分惧怕，身子滴溜溜的打了半个圈子，长剑一挺，剑尖上突然生出半尺吞吐不定的青芒。群众中有十余人齐声惊呼：“剑芒，剑芒！”那剑芒犹似长蛇般伸缩不定，卓不凡脸露狞笑，丹田中提一口真气，青芒突盛，向虚竹胸口刺来。 虚竹从未见过别人的兵刃上能生出青芒，听得群豪呼喝，料想是一门厉害武功，自己定然对付不了，脚步一错，滑了开去。卓不凡这一剑出了全力，中途无法变招，刷的一声响，长剑刺入了大石柱中，深入尺许。这根石柱乃极坚硬的花岗石所制，软身的长剑居然刺入一尺有余，可见他附在剑刃上的真力实是非同小可，群豪又忍不住喝彩。 卓不凡手上运劲，将长剑从石柱中拔出，仗剑向虚竹赶去，喝道：“小兄弟，你能逃到哪里去？”虚竹心下害怕，滑脚又再避开。 左侧突然有人嘿嘿一声冷笑，说道：“小和尚，躺下罢！”是个女子声音。两道白光闪处，两把飞刀在虚竹面前掠过。虚竹虽只在最初背负童姥之时，得她指点过一些轻功，但他内力深湛浑厚，举手投足之际，自然而然的轻捷无比，身随意转，飞刀来得虽快，他还是轻轻巧巧的躲过了。但见一个身穿淡红衣衫的中年美妇双手一招，便将两把飞刀接在手中。她掌心之中，倒似有股极强的吸力，将飞刀吸了过去。 卓不凡赞道：“芙蓉仙子的飞刀神技，可教人大开眼界了。” 虚竹蓦地想起，那晚众人合谋进攻缥缈峰之时，卓不凡、芙蓉仙子二人和不平道人乃是一路，不平道人在雪峰上被自己以松球打死，难怪二人要杀自己为同伴报仇。他自觉内疚，停了脚步，向卓不凡和芙蓉仙子不住作揖，说道：“我确是犯了极大的过错，当真该死，虽然当时我并非有意，唉，总之是铸成了难以挽回的大错。两位要打要骂，我……我这个……再也不敢躲闪了。” 卓不凡和芙蓉仙子崔绿华对望了一眼，均想：“这小子终于害怕了。”其实他们并不知道不平道人是死在虚竹的手下，即使知道，也不拟杀他为不平道人报仇。两人一般的心思，同时欺近身去，一左一右，抓住了虚竹的手腕。 虚竹想到不平道人死时的惨状，心中抱憾万分，不住讨饶：“我做错了事，当真后悔莫及。两位尽管重重责罚，我心甘情愿的领受，就是要杀我抵命，那也不敢违抗。” 卓不凡道：“你要我不伤你性命，那也容易，你只须将童姥临死时的遗言，原原本本的说与我听，便可饶了你。”崔绿华微笑道：“卓先生，小妹能不能听？”卓不凡道：“咱们只要寻到破解生死符的法门，这里众位朋友人人都受其惠，又不是在下一人能得好处。”他既不说让崔绿华同听秘密，亦不说不让她听，但言下之意，显然是欲独占成果。 崔绿华微笑道：“小妹却没你这么好良心，我便是瞧着这小子不顺眼。”左手紧紧抓着虚竹的手腕，右手一扬，两柄飞刀便往虚竹胸口插了下来。 童姥既死，卓不凡的师门大仇已难以得报，这时他只想找到破解生死符的法门，挟制群豪，作威作福。崔绿华的用意却全然不同。她兄长为三十六洞的三个洞主联手所杀，她想只要杀了虚竹，无人知道童姥的遗言，那三个洞主身上的生死符就永远难以破解，势必比她兄长死得惨过百倍，远胜于自己亲手杀人报仇，是以突然之间，猛施杀手。她这下出手好快，卓不凡长剑本已入鞘，忙去拔剑，眼看已然慢了一步。 虚竹一惊之下，不及多想，自然而然的双手一振，将卓不凡和崔绿华同时震开数步。 崔绿华一声呼喝，飞刀脱手，疾向虚竹射去。她虽跌出数步，但以投掷暗器而论，仍可说相距极近。卓不凡怕虚竹被杀，举剑往飞刀上撩去。崔绿华早料到卓不凡定会出剑相救，两柄飞刀脱手，跟着又有十柄飞刀连珠般掷出，其中三刀掷向卓不凡，志在将他挡得一挡，其余七刀都是向虚竹射去，面门、咽喉、胸膛、小腹，尽在飞刀的笼罩之下。 虚竹双手连抓，使出“天山折梅手”来，随抓随抛，但听得叮叮当当之声不绝，霎时之间，将十三件兵刃投在脚边。十二柄是崔绿华的飞刀，第十三件却是卓不凡的长剑。原来他一使上这“天山折梅手”，惶急之下，没再细想对手是谁，只是见兵刃便抓，顺手将卓不凡的长剑也夺了下来。 他夺下十三件兵刃，一抬头见到卓不凡苍白的脸色，回过头来，再见到崔绿华惊惧的眼神，心道：“糟糕，糟糕，我又得罪了人啦。”忙道：“两位请勿见怪，在下行事卤莽。”俯身拾起地下十三件兵刃，双手捧起，送到卓崔二人身前。 崔绿华还道他故意来羞辱自己，双掌运力，猛向他胸膛上击去。但听得拍的一声响，一股猛烈无比的力道反击而来，崔绿华“啊”的一声惊呼，身子向后飞去，砰的一下，重重撞在石墙之上，喷出两口鲜血。 卓不凡此次与不平道人、崔绿华联手，事先三人暗中曾相互伸量过武功内力，虽然卓不凡较二人为强，但也只稍胜一筹而已，此刻见虚竹双手捧着兵刃，单以体内的一股真气，便将崔绿华弹得身受重伤，自己万万不是对手。他知道今日已讨不了好去，双手向虚竹一拱，说道：“佩服，佩服，后会有期。” 虚竹道：“前辈请取了剑去。在下无意冒犯，请前辈不必介意。前辈要打要骂，为不平道长出气，我……我决计不敢反抗。” 在卓不凡听来，虚竹这几句话全成了刻毒的讥讽。他脸上已无半点血色，大踏步向厅外走去。
忽听得一声娇叱，一个女子的声音说道：“站住了！灵鹫宫是什么地方，容得你要来便来，要去便去吗？”卓不凡一凛，顺手便按剑柄，一按之下，却按了个空，这才想起长剑已给虚竹夺去，只见大门外拦着一块巨岩，二丈高，一丈宽，将大门密不透风的堵死了。这块巨岩不知是何时无声无息的移来，自己竟全然没有警觉。 群豪一见这等情景，均知已陷入了灵鹫宫的机关之中。众人一路攻战而前，将一干黄衫女子杀的杀，擒的擒，扫荡得干干净净，进入大厅之后，也曾四下察看有无伏兵，但此后有人身上生死符发作，各人触目惊心，物伤其类，再加上一连串变故接踵而来，竟没想到身处险地，危机四伏，待见得到巨岩堵死了大门，心中均是一凛：“今日要生出灵鹫宫，只怕大大的不易了。” 忽听得头顶一个女子的声音说道：“童姥姥座下四使婢，参见虚竹先生。”虚竹抬起头来，只见大厅靠近屋顶之处，有九块岩石凸了出来，似乎是九个小小的平台，其中四块岩石上各有一个十八九岁的少女，正自盈盈拜倒。四女一拜，随即纵身跃落，身在半空，手中已各持一柄长剑，飘飘而下。四女一穿浅红，一穿月白，一穿浅碧，一穿浅黄，同时跃下，同时着地，又向虚竹躬身拜倒，说道：“使婢迎接来迟，主人恕罪。”虚竹作揖还礼，说道：“四位姊姊不必多礼。” 四个少女抬起头来，众人都是一惊。但见四女不但高矮秾纤一模一样，而且相貌也没半点分别，一般的瓜子脸蛋，眼如点漆，清秀绝俗，所不同的只是衣衫颜色。 那穿浅红衫的女子道：“婢子四姊妹一胎孪生，童姥姥给婢子取名为梅剑，这三位妹子是兰剑、竹剑、菊剑。适才遇到昊天、朱天诸部姊妹，得知诸般情由。现下婢子已将独尊厅大门关上了，这一干大胆作反的奴才如何处置，便请主人发落。” 群豪听她自称为四姊妹一胎孪生，这才恍然，怪不得四人相貌一模一样，但见她四人容颜秀丽，语音清柔，各人心中均生好感，不料说到后来，那梅剑竟说什么“一干大胆作反的奴才”，实是无礼之极。两条汉子抢了上来，一人手持单刀，一人拿着一对判官笔，齐声喝道：“小妞儿，你口中不干不净的放……” 突然间青光连闪，兰剑、竹剑姊妹长剑掠出，跟着当当两声响，两条汉子的手腕已被截断，手掌连着兵刃掉在地下，这一招迅捷无伦，那二人手腕已断，口中还在说道：“……什么屁！哎唷！”齐声大叫，向后跃开，只洒得满地都是鲜血。 二女一出手便断了二人手腕，其余各人虽然颇有自忖武功比那两条大汉要高得多的，却也不敢贸然出手，何况眼见这座大厅四壁都是厚实异常的花岗岩，又不知厅中另有何等厉害机关，各人面面相觑，谁也没有作声。 寂静之中，忽然人丛中又有一人“荷荷荷”的咆哮起来。众人一听，都知又有人身上的生死符催命来了。 群豪相顾失色之际，一条铁塔般的大汉纵跳而出，双目尽赤，乱撕自己胸口衣服。许多人叫了起来：“铁鳌岛岛主！铁鳌岛岛主哈大霸！”那哈大霸口中呼叫，直如一头受伤了的猛虎，他提起铁钵般的拳头，砰的一声，将一张茶几击得粉碎，随即向菊剑冲去。 菊剑见到他可怖的神情，忘了自己剑法高强，心中害怕，一钻头便缩入了虚竹的怀中。哈大霸张开蒲扇般的大手，向梅剑抓来。这四个孪生姊妹心意相通，菊剑吓得浑身发抖，梅剑早受感应，眼见哈大霸扑到，“啊”的一声惊呼，躲到了虚竹背后。 哈大霸一抓不中，翻转双手，便往自己两只眼睛中挖去。虚竹叫道：“使不得！”衣袖挥出，拂中他的臂弯，哈大霸双手便即垂下。虚竹道：“这位兄台体内所种的生死符发作，在下来想法子给你解去。”当即使出“天山六阳掌”中的一招“阳歌天钧”，在哈大霸背心“灵台穴”上一拍。哈大霸几下剧震，全身宛如虚脱。 青光闪处，两柄长剑分别向哈大霸刺到，正是兰剑、竹剑二姝乘机出手。虚竹道：“不可！”夹手将双剑夺过，喃喃念道：“糟糕，糟糕！不知他的生死符在何处？”他虽学会了生死符的破解之法，究竟见识浅陋，看不出哈大霸身上生死符的所在，这一招“阳歌天钧”又出力太猛，哈大霸竟然受不起。 哈大霸说道：“中……中在……悬枢……气……气海……丝……丝空竹……”适才虚竹一招“阳歌天钧”，已令他神智恢复。 虚竹喜道：“你自己知道，那就好了。”当即以童姥所授法门，用天山六阳掌的纯阳之力，将他悬枢、气海、丝空竹三处穴道中的寒冰生死符化去。 哈大霸站起身来，挥拳踢腿，大喜若狂，突然扑翻在地，砰砰砰的向虚竹磕头，说道：“恩公在上，哈大霸的性命，是你老人家给的，此后恩公但有所命，哈大霸赴汤蹈火，在所不辞。”虚竹对人向来恭谨，见哈大霸行此礼，忙跪下还礼，也砰砰砰的向他磕头，说道：“在下不敢受此重礼，你向我磕头，我也得向你磕头。”哈大霸大声道：“恩公快快请起，你向我磕头，可真折杀小人了。”为了表示感激之意，又多磕几个头。虚竹见他又磕头，当下又磕头还礼。 两人趴在地下，磕头不休。猛听得几百人齐声叫了起来：“给我破解生死符，给我破解生死符。”身上中了生死符的群豪蜂拥而前，将二人团团围住。一名老者将哈大霸扶起，说道：“不用磕头啦，大伙儿都要请恩公疗毒救命。” 虚竹见哈大霸站起，这才站起身来，说道：“各位别忙，听我一言。”霎时之间，大厅上没半点声息。虚竹说道：“要破解生死符，须得确知所种的部位，各位自己知不知道？” 霎时间众人乱成一团，有的说：“我知道！”有的说：“我中在委中穴、内庭穴！”有的说：“我全身发疼，他妈的也不知中在什么鬼穴道！”有的说：“我身上麻痒疼痛，每个月不同，这生死符会走！” 突然有人大声喝道：“大家不要吵，这般嚷嚷的，虚竹子先生能听得见么？”出声呼喝的正是群豪之首的乌老大，众人便即静了下来。 虚竹道：“在下虽蒙童姥授了破解生死符的法门……”七八个人忍不住叫了起来：“妙极，妙极！”“吾辈性命有救了！”只听虚竹续道：“……但辨穴认病的本事却极肤浅。不过各位也不必担心，若是自己确知生死符部位的，在下逐一施治，助各位破解。就算不知，咱们慢慢琢磨，再请几位精于医道的朋友来一同参详，总之是要治好为止。” 群豪大声欢呼，只震得满厅中都是回声。过了良久，欢呼声才渐渐止歇。 梅剑冷冷的道：“主人应允给你们取出生死符，那是他老人家的慈悲。可是你们大胆作乱，害得童姥离宫下山，在外仙逝，你们又来攻打缥缈峰，害死了我们钧天部的不少姊妹，这笔帐却又如何算法？” 此言一出，群豪面面相觑，心中不禁冷了半截，寻思梅剑所言确是实情，虚竹既是童姥的传人，对众人所犯下的大罪不会置之不理。有人便欲出言哀恳，但转念一想，害死童姥、倒反灵鹫宫之罪何等深重，岂能哀求几句，便能了事？话到口边，又缩了回去。 乌老大道：“这位姊姊所责甚是有理，吾辈罪过甚大，甘领虚竹子先生的责罚。”他摸准了虚竹的脾气，知他忠厚老实，绝非阴狠毒辣的童姥可比，若是由他出手惩罚，下手也必比梅兰菊竹四剑为轻，因之向他求告。 群豪中不少人便即会意，跟着叫了起来：“不错，咱们罪孽深重，虚竹子先生要如何责罚，大家甘心领罪。”有些人想到生死符催命时的痛苦，竟然双膝一曲，跪了下来。 虚竹浑没了主意，向梅剑道：“梅剑姊姊，你瞧该当怎么办？”梅剑道：“这些都不是好人，害死了钧天部这么多姊妹，非叫他们偿命不可。” 无量洞副洞主左子穆向梅剑深深一揖，说道：“姑娘，咱们身上中了生死符，实在是惨不堪言，一听到童姥姥她老人家不在峰上，不免着急，以致做错了事，实在悔之莫及。求你姑娘大人大量，向虚竹子先生美言几句。” 梅剑脸一沉，说道：“那些杀过人的，快将自己的右臂砍了，这是最轻的惩戒了。”她话一出口，觉得自己发号施令，于理不合，转头向虚竹道：“主人，你说是不是？”虚竹觉得如此惩罚太重，却又不愿得罪梅剑，嗫嚅道：“这个……这个……嗯……那个……” 人群中忽有一人越众而出，正是大理国王子段誉。他性喜多管闲事，评论是非，向虚竹拱了拱手，笑道：“仁兄，这些朋友们来攻打缥缈峰，小弟一直极不赞成，只不过说干了嘴，也劝他们不听。今日大伙儿闯下大祸，仁兄欲加罪责，倒也应当。小弟向仁兄讨一个差使，由小弟来将这些朋友们责罚一番如何？” 那日群豪要杀童姥，歃血为盟，段誉力加劝阻，虚竹是亲耳听到的，知道这位公子仁心侠胆，对他好生敬重，自己负了童姥给李秋水从千丈高峰打下来，也曾得他相救，何况自己正没做理会处，听他如此说，忙拱手道：“在下识见浅陋，不会处事。段公子肯出面料理，在下感激不尽。” 群豪初听段誉强要出头来责罚他们，如何肯服？有些脾气急躁的已欲破口大骂，待听得虚竹竟一口应允，话到口边，便都缩回去了。 段誉喜道：“如此甚好。”转身面对群豪说道：“众位所犯过错，实在太大，在下所定的惩罚之法，却也非轻。虚竹子先生既让在下处理，众位若有违抗，只怕虚竹子老兄便不肯给你们拔去身上的生死符了。嘿嘿，这第一条嘛，大家需得在童姥灵前，恭恭敬敬的磕上八个响头，肃穆默念，忏悔前非，磕
The pine cone that rescued the woman in yellow shirt just now was sent by Xu Zhu.Seeing that he caused everyone to be so confused, he felt very sorry and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's my fault. Child Elder is indeed dead, everyone don't need to panic." Seeing that fat man was still biting his brother, he thought to himself "If you bite any more, neither of us will survive." Walking over, he reached out and patted the fat man's vest, using the "Tianshan Liuyang Palm" kung fu, a burst of yang and internal force, and immediately put the life and death talisman in the fat man's body. His cold poison was subdued, but he didn't know where his life and death talisman was, but he couldn't remove it for him. The fat man loosened his arms, sat on the ground, gasped for breath, with a tired expression, and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you like this? Tell me, tell me, brother will avenge you." His brother was overjoyed when he saw his elder brother regained his sanity, and he didn't care about the serious injury on his face, so he couldn't stop saying: "Brother, you're all right, brother, you're all right!" Xu Zhu stretched out his hand and patted every woman in yellow shirt on the shoulder, and said: "Are you all from the Juntian Division? You sisters from the Yangtian, Zhutian and Haotian divisions have all arrived at Jietian Bridge, because of the iron chain It's broken, and you can't come here for a while. Do you have any iron chains or thick ropes here? Let's go and pick them up." In his palm, Beiming's true energy swelled, and wherever he touched it, the daughter of the Great Heaven Department, no matter who was sealed, Which acupoint is it? The blocked meridians are immediately shaken away, and there is no longer any blockage. All the girls were surprised and stood up one after another, saying: "Thank you for your help, I dare not ask you for your name." Some young women were impatient, so they rushed to the gate and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Let the eight sisters come over, and then fight to the death with the rebels." While turning around, he waved his hands and thanked Xu Zhu. Xu Zhu cupped his hands to thank him, he said: "Don't dare, dare not! How can I dare to thank you all? There is someone else who rescued you, it's just that I have a fake hand." He meant to say that his martial arts The internal strength comes from three teachers including Child Elder, but in fact it was Child Elder and others who rescued the daughters. Qunhao saw that he patted casually, and the acupoints of all the women in yellow shirts were immediately released. There was no need to ask where the acupoints were blocked, and there was no need to push the uterine blood at the corresponding acupoints. This kind of technique was not only unprecedented, but also I have never heard of it before, seeing that he is not impressive, at such a young age, he definitely does not have this kind of internal energy, hearing him say that someone else did it to him, I believe that Child Elder has already arrived in the Vulture Palace. Boss Wu used to spend several days with Xu Zhu on the snow peak, although Xu Zhu's hair has grown long and his face is covered with mud, but when he opened his mouth to speak, Boss Wu suddenly remembered, recognized him, and threw himself to bully him Beside him, he clasped the vein door on his right hand, and shouted: "Little monk, Tong...Has Child Elder arrived here yet?" Xu Zhu said: "Mr. Wu, has the injury on your belly healed yet? I...I can't be considered a Buddhist disciple now, alas! I'm ashamed to say... I'm really ashamed." Speaking of this point, I can't help His face was flushed, but there was a lot of mud on his face, which no one else could see. As soon as Boss Wu made a move, he seized his veins, forgive him for not being able to resist, and now use more internal energy to make him beg for mercy in pain, thinking that Child Elder is very kind to this little monk, I will take him hostage once I succeed , Child Elder is going to hurt me, it's inevitable that she will throw a mouse trick.Who would have thought that Xu Zhu didn't know that even when he stimulated his internal energy, the internal energy he exerted was like a bull in mud, disappearing without a trace.Boss Wu was terrified in his heart, he didn't dare to push his inner strength any more, but he refused to let go of it. As soon as Qunhao saw the part that Boss Wu was holding, he knew that Xu Zhu had fallen into his grasp, even if his kung fu was better than Boss Wu, he was irresistible, he had to let Boss Wu slaughter him, they all thought: "This If the boy is really a master, the key point will never be so easily controlled by others." Everyone shouted and asked: "Boy, who are you? How did you come here?" "What's your name? Who is your teacher?" "Who sent you here? Where is Child Elder? Is she dead or alive?" Xu Zhu replied one by one, with a very humble expression: "My Daoist name... Daoist name is Xu Zhuzi. Child Elder is indeed dead, her old body has been transported to Jietian Bridge. I have a long history with my teacher, alas, I am ashamed to say, Seriously... Seriously... I made a big mistake, so I don't want to tell you. If you don't believe me, you can pay homage to her old man's remains later. I came here to handle the funeral affairs for Child Elder. Most of you are her The old man's old department, I advise everyone not to reminisce about the old grudges, and everyone worships in front of her old man's spirit, wouldn't it be good to erase all kinds of hatred?" He said every sentence, feeling ashamed and sad at the same time, saying something here and there. One sentence, that is, incoherent, the tone is not smooth, and in the end it is full of wishful thinking. Qun Hao felt that this kid was talking nonsense, a little insane, his fear gradually disappeared, and his arrogance emerged, and some people even scolded: "What kind of boy is it? How dare you want us to die before the dead thief Kowtow?" "Damn it, how did the old villain die?" "Did she die under the hands of his junior sister Li Qiushui? Is this leg hers?" Xu Zhu said: "Even if you really have deep enmity with Child Elder, since she has passed away, then you don't need to hold grudges any more, it's a bit harsh to keep saying 'old villain'. Mr. Wu is right, Child Elder did die in Her junior sister Li Qiushui's subordinates, this leg is indeed her old man's body. Alas, life is like a dream, like dew is like electricity, although the child grandma's martial arts are superb, in the end, her kung fu is exhausted, and it is inevitable that she will turn into loess. Namo Amitabha, Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Namo Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, who lead the child grandmother to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, the Lotus Pond Pure Land!" Qunhao heard him nagging that it is true that Child Elder is dead, he was immediately relieved.Someone asked: "When Child Elder was dying, were you by her side?" Xu Zhu said: "Yes. For the past few months, I have been serving her old lady." Qunhao glanced at each other and felt the same A thought quickly turned around: "The secret to cracking the life-death talisman may lie with this kid." The blue shadow flickered, one of them approached him and pinched the pulse gate of Xu Zhu's left hand, following Boss Wu, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, a sharp weapon was placed in his neck, a sharp voice said: "Boss Wu, Let him go." As soon as Boss Wu saw the person holding Xu Zhu's left wrist, he expected that this person's buddies would attack at the same time, when he was about to protect himself, he was already a step too late.Only the person behind said: "If you don't let go, this sword will be cut down." Wu Boss let go of Xu Zhu's wrist, jumped forward a few steps, turned around, and said: "Zhuya twin monsters , the surname Wu will never forget what happened today." The one who forced him with a sword was a long and thin man, he said with a sinister smile: "Boss Wu, no matter what problem arises, the two monsters from Zhuya will follow." The big monster buckled Xu Zhu's veins, and the two monsters came to search his pockets .Xu Zhu thought to himself: "You search if you want, anyway, there is nothing shady around me." The second monster took out the things in his arms one by one, the first thing they found was what Wu Yazi gave him. That picture, immediately unfold the scroll. Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall looked at the painting together.The painting was stepped on by the child elder a few times, and was drenched in the ice cellar later, but the beauty in the picture is still lifelike, as if she is about to walk out of the painting, the painting is really superb.When everyone saw it, they all looked at Wang Yuyan at the same time.Some people said: "Hey!" Some people said "Oh!" Some people said: "Bah!" . Qunhao originally hoped that what was drawn on the scroll was a map or a landscape, and he could follow it to find the elixir or secret to crack the life-death talisman, but unexpectedly it was an image of Wang Yuyan, hey, oh, yah , After humming, they were all disappointed.Only Duan Yu, Murong Fu, and Wang Yuyan said "ah" at the same time, as for the meaning of this "ah", the three of them are different from each other.Wang Yuyan saw her own portrait hidden beside Xu Zhu, she was surprised, her cheeks blushed, she thought: "Could it be... Could it be that this person is also like Mr. Duan since he saw me at Zhenlong chess game that day , put me... put me in my heart? Otherwise, why would I hide my appearance?" Duan Yu thought: "Miss Wang is the incarnation of a celestial being, and her appearance is peerless. This little master admires her so much, that's not enough. Alas, it’s a pity that my paintbrush is not as good as this little master’s, otherwise I would also paint a portrait of Miss Wang, and when I break up with her in the future, I will face the portrait day and night, which can relieve the pain of lovesickness. But Murong Fu thought: "This little monk is also a toad who wants to eat swan meat." The two monsters threw the picture on the ground, and went to search Xu Zhu's pocket, after that, what they took out was a certificate of graduating from Xu Zhu in Shaolin Temple, a few taels of silver, a few pieces of dry food, a pair of cloth socks, looking at it, nothing happened One is related to the life and death talisman. When the Zhuya two monsters searched Xu Zhu, the group of tyrants were all watching, as soon as they saw something strange, they rushed to snatch it, unexpectedly they didn't find anything. The big monster in Zhuya scolded: "Smelly thief, what did the old villain tell you when she was dying?" Xu Zhu said: "What did you ask Child Elder when she was dying? Well, the old man said: 'No She, not her, not her! Haha, haha, haha!' Laughed three times, and then died." Qunhao was puzzled, thinking carefully about the meaning of the phrase "not her" and three laughs, his temperament The impatient ones started to drink and curse. The big monster in Zhuya shouted: "Damn it, what is it not her, hahaha? What else did the old villain say?" Xu Zhu said: "Mr. Senior, when you mention Child Elder, you'd better show some respect , don't scold nonsense." The Zhuya monster was furious, raised his left palm, and shot it down on his head, cursing: "Smelly thief, I want to scold the old villain, but so what?" Suddenly there was a flash of cold light, a long sword stretched out, lay across Xu Zhu's head, the blade stood upright.If Zhuya Monster's palm continues to slap down, before it touches Xu Zhu's scalp, his own palm must be cut off on the blade first.Shocked, he hastily withdrew his palm, but in a hurry, he leaned back and retreated three steps, he did not pull Xu Zhu away, and let go of his wrist, but he felt a dull pain in his left palm, Lifting the palm and looking, he saw a very thin sword mark across the palm, oozing blood, he couldn't help being startled and terrified, thinking that if he closed the palm a little too late, wouldn't the palm be useless?He glared angrily at the person who drew the sword, he saw that the person was wearing a green shirt, about fifty years old, with a long beard and a handsome face, he recognized him as the "Sword God" Zhuo Bufan.Judging from the speed and precision with which Shicai moved this sword, it can be seen that his sword skills have reached the pinnacle.He also remembered that day when the island owner of Jianyu Island left the crowd, he beheaded this "Sword God" in an instant. Although he was irritable, he didn't dare to easily become an enemy of such a powerful master. Said: "Your Excellency shot to hurt me, what is your intention?" Zhuo Bufan smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone wants to find out the method of cracking the life and death talisman from this mouth, but my brother suddenly wants to kill this person. The life and death talisman on the brothers' bodies is calling for life, how can I explain it?" "Zhuya's big monster was at a loss for words, and only said: "This... this..." Zhuo Bufan put his sword back into its sheath, turned slightly sideways, and lightly bumped his elbow on the shoulder of the two monsters. After four steps, the blood in the chest and abdomen surged, and he almost fell down. With great difficulty, he stood still, but he didn't dare to yell or curse. Zhuo Bufan said to Xu Zhu: "Little brother, when Child Elder was dying, what did she say besides saying 'it's not her' and laughing three times?" Xu Zhu's face turned red suddenly, his expression was shy, he lowered his head slowly, so he remembered the time when Child Elder said: "You bring that painting, let me tear it up with my own hands, I don't have anything to worry about, so I will I can show you the way to find the girl in your dream." Unexpectedly, when Child Elder saw the painting, she found that the person in the painting was not Li Qiushui, it was funny and sad, and she just ignored it.He thought: "Child Elder passed away suddenly, no one in the world will know the whereabouts of the girl in the dream, I'm afraid I will never be able to see her again in this life." Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sad. Zhuo Bufan saw that his expression was different, he only knew that there was some important secret hidden in his heart, and he said kindly: "Little brother, what exactly did Child Elder tell you, please tell me, my surname Zhuo will not It's difficult for you, and there are great benefits for you." Xu Zhu's ears turned red, he shook his head and said: "I absolutely... can't say anything about this matter." Zhuo Bufan said: "Why not Say?" Xu Zhu said: "Speaking of this matter... Speaking of it... Well, in short, I can't say it, you killed me, and I won't say it." Zhuo Bufan said: "You really don't want to say it?" Xu Zhuo said. Zhu said: "Don't say it." Zhuo Bufan stared at him for a moment, saw that he was very determined, and suddenly drew out his long sword with a swipe, the cold light flashed, and there were a few light chi chi chi chi sounds, the long sword seemed to have swiped a few times on a table of eight immortals, followed by After a few slaps, the Eight Immortals table was divided into nine neat pieces and fell to the ground.In this instant, he made two vertical swords, two horizontal swords, four consecutive swords, and drew a "well" character on the table.What's even more strange is that the nine planks are all square, with no difference in size, width, and narrowness, as if they were measured with a ruler and then slowly cut into pieces.There was thunderous applause in the hall. Wang Yuyan said softly: "This Zhougong sword is the unique skill of the 'One-word Huijianmen' in Jianyang, Fujian. This old Mr. Zhuo must be a master of the 'One-word Huijianmen'." After the crowd applauded in unison , and then they all stared at Zhuo Bufan, even more silently, although her voice was soft, these few words came to everyone's ears clearly. Zhuo Bufan laughed, and said: "This girl really has good eyesight, she can actually tell the name of the old sect and sword move. It's rare, rare." Everyone thought: "I've never heard that there is a 'one-word Huijian sect' in Fujian. ’, this old man’s swordsmanship is so powerful, his school should be the most powerful in the world, why is he so unknown?” Zhuo Bufan sighed and said: “In my school, there are only old men who are lonely, One is bare. There are sixty-two people from three generations of 'One Word Hui Jianmen', and thirty-three years ago, they were all killed by Tianshan Child Elder." Everyone's heart trembled, they all thought: "This person came to the Vulture Palace, so it is to avenge his family's great revenge." Seeing Zhuo Bufan's long sword flick, he said to Xu Zhu: "Little brother, how about I pass on these few sword techniques to you?" As soon as this statement came out, some of the group of heroes showed envy, but there were also many people who immediately showed hostility.If a person who learns martial arts is favored by a superior person, if he teaches one move or two styles, he will often benefit from it for a lifetime. He will become famous all over the world, and his life will be saved because of this.However, it is not uncommon for vicious gangsters to turn back on their mentors after they have learned the tricks. Therefore, martial arts masters must be strict in choosing disciples.Zhuo Bufan agreed to teach Xu Zhu superior swordsmanship for no reason, because he wanted to know Child Elder's last words in order to obtain the Life and Death Talisman. Xu Zhu hasn't replied yet, a woman's voice in the crowd said coldly: "Mr. Zhuo, are you also hit by the Life and Death Talisman?" Zhuo Bufan looked at that person, saw that the person who was speaking was a middle-aged Taoist nun, and said: "Why did Xiangu ask this question?" Duan Yu recognized this Taoist nun as Xin Shuangqing, the master of Wuliang Cave in Dali. She was originally the master of Wuliangjian Xizong, she was subdued by Child Elder's subordinates and renamed as Cave Master of Wuliang Cave.These days, he has never dared to meet Xin Shuangqing's eyes, nor did he dare to approach her subordinate Zuo Zimu, for fear that they would settle old scores. Seeing her speak at this time, he hurriedly hid behind Bao BuTong. Xin Shuangqing said: "If Mr. Zhuo hadn't been poisoned by the life-death talisman, why did he do everything possible to seek the way to break it? If Mr. Zhuo intends to blackmail us, then the brothers from Thirty-six Cave and Seventy-two Islands have just escaped the lion's kiss. , into the tiger's mouth again, I'm afraid I may not be willing. Although Mr. Zhuo is skilled in swordsmanship, if we are forced to have nowhere to go, the brothers will have no choice but to fight desperately." These words are neither arrogant nor humble, but With one word, Zhuo Bufan's intentions were exposed, and his words were aggressive. Immediately, more than ten people among the crowd responded: "Cave Master Xin's words are extremely good." Some people said: "Boy, what is Child Elder's last words, you should say it in public, otherwise everyone will chop you up, it's a shame. Not too good." Zhuo Bufan's long sword trembled, buzzing, and said: "Little brother, don't be afraid, you are by my side, who can touch a single hair of yours? You can only tell me the last words of Child Elder. If the three of you know, my sword skills cannot be passed on to you." Xu Zhu shook his head and said: "Child Elder's last words are only related to me and another person, but it has nothing to do with you. Besides, no matter what, I am determined not to say it. Although your sword skills Well, I don't want to learn either." Qunhao applauded loudly, and said: "Yes, yes! Good boy, he has a lot of backbone, what's the use of his swordsmanship?" There is nothing strange about it." Another human said: "Since this girl knows the origin of the sword art, she has the ability to break his sword art. Little brother, if you want to be a teacher, you should worship this little girl. What's more, in your arms I hid her portrait, haha, naturally I should worship her as my teacher." Zhuo Bufan was very embarrassed to hear everyone's cynicism, looked sideways at Wang Yuyan, and after a while, seeing that she remained silent, Zhuo Bufan was furious, and said in his heart: "Some people say you can defeat my sword skills, You didn’t deny it right away, are you acquiescing that you can break it?” In fact, Wang Yuyan was thinking in her heart: “Why is my cousin so unhappy? Are you angry with me? Did I offend him? Could it be… ...Could it be that the little master painted my portrait and hid it by his side, and my cousin is annoyed by it!" Yu didn't hear what the others said for a while. Zhuo Bufan glanced at the scroll of pictures thrown on the ground again, and suddenly remembered: "This kid drew her portrait and hid it in his arms, so he naturally has a lot of affection for her. I want him to confide Child Elder's last words, it is because of this little girl." You can't do it on your body, I have it!" Picking up the picture, stuffing it into Xu Zhu's arms, he said: "Little brother, I know all about your thoughts, hehe, a man and a woman are really a match made in heaven. It's just that someone is making trouble, you It's not easy to get what you want, but it's not easy. How about this, let me preside over it, and marry this girl to you as your wife, and immediately worship heaven and earth here, how about a bridal chamber in the Vulture Palace tonight?" He said with a smile Pointing at Wang Yuyan. "One Character Wisdom Sword Sect" masters and apprentices were all killed by Child Elder. At that time, Zhuo Bufan was not in Fujian, so he survived and never dared to go back. He fled to the remote and extremely cold place in Changbai Mountain to study swordsmanship, accidentally Obtained a sword scripture left by the senior masters, practiced hard for thirty years, finally achieved great swordsmanship, and was confident that he was invincible in the world. This time, he came out of the mountain and killed several famous masters in Hebei in one go, which is even more arrogant. There is no one to resist the long sword in the Taoist hand, who dares to disobey what he says? Xu Zhu's face turned red, he hurriedly said: "No, no! Mr. Zhuo must not misunderstand." Zhuo Bufan said: "Boys should get married, girls should get married, if you know lust, you will admire Shaoai, it's human nature, why should you be afraid of being ugly?" Xu Zhu couldn't help being in a panic, he said repeatedly: "This...this...it's not..." Zhuo Bufan shook his long sword, one move "Sky is like a vault", followed by another move "White mist", two moves mixed together, he handed it to Wang Yuyan, he wanted to draw her in the light of the sword, it was a rare thing, In order to exchange with Xu Zhu, ask him to reveal the secret. When Wang Yuyan saw these two moves, she said in her heart: "'The sky is like a vault' and 'White mist' are both false and one real. Just go straight into the palace and beat his confidants, and he will be forced to accept the move. "But although he knew the trick in his heart, he couldn't do it with his hands. Seeing the sword light shining on his head, he cried out "ah" in panic. Murong Fu saw that Zhuo Bufan's two moves had no intention of hurting Wang Yuyan, he thought: "I'm not in a hurry to attack, let's see what this old man surnamed Zhuo is up to? Will this little monk reveal secrets for his cousin?" 但段誉一见到卓不凡的剑招指向王语嫣，他也不懂剑招虚实，自然是大惊失色，情急之下，脚下展开“凌波微步”，疾冲过去，挡在王语嫣身前。卓不凡剑招虽快，段誉还是抢先了一步。长剑寒光闪处，嗤得一声轻响，剑尖在段誉胸口划了一条口子，自颈至腹，衣衫尽裂，伤及肌肤。总算卓不凡志在逼求虚竹心中的机密，不欲此时杀人树敌，这一剑手劲的轻重恰到好处，剑痕虽长，伤势却甚轻微。段誉吓得呆了，一低头见到自己胸膛和肚腹上如此长的一条剑伤，鲜血迸流，只道已被他开膛破腹，立时便要毙命，叫道：“王姑娘，你……你快躲开，我来挡他一阵。” 卓不凡冷笑道：“泥菩萨过江，自身难保，居然不自量力，来做护花之人。”转头向虚竹道：“小兄弟，看中这位姑娘的人可着实不少，我先动手给你除去一个情敌如何？”长剑剑尖指着段誉心口，相距一吋，抖动不定，只须轻轻一送，立即插入他的心脏。 虚竹大惊，叫道：“不可，万万不可！”生怕卓不凡杀死段誉，左手伸出，小指在他右腕“太渊穴”上轻轻一拂。卓不凡手上一麻，握着剑柄的五指便即松了。虚竹顺手将长剑抓在掌中。这一下夺剑，乃是“天山折梅手”中的高招，看似平平无奇，其实他小指的一拂之中，含有最上乘的“小无相功”，卓不凡的功力便再深三四十年，手中长剑一样的也给夺了下来。虚竹道：“卓先生，这位段公子是好人，不可伤他的性命。”顺手又将长剑塞还在卓不凡手中，低头去察看段誉伤势。 段誉叹道：“王姑娘，我……我要死了，但愿你与慕容兄百年齐眉，白头偕老。爹爹，妈妈……我……我……”他伤势其实并不厉害，只是以为自己胸膛肚腹给人剖开了，当然是非死不可，一泄气，身子向后便倒。 王语嫣抢着扶住，垂泪道：“段公子，你这全是为了我……” 虚竹出手如风，点了段誉胸腹间伤口左近的穴道，再看他伤口，登时放心，笑道：“段公子，你的剑伤不碍事，三四天便好。” 段誉身子给王语嫣扶住，又见她为自己哭泣，早已神魂飘荡，欢喜万分，问道：“王姑娘，你……你是为我流泪么？”王语嫣点了点头，珠泪又是滚滚而下。段誉道：“我段誉得有今日，他便再刺我几十剑，我便为你死几百次，也是甘心。”虚竹的话，两人竟都全没听进耳中。王语嫣是心中感激，情难自已。段誉见到了意中人的眼泪，又知这眼泪是为自己所流，哪里还关心自己的生死？ 虚竹夺剑还剑，只是一瞬间之事，除了慕容复看得清楚、卓不凡心中明白之外，旁人都道卓不凡手下留情，故意不取段誉性命。可是卓不凡心中惊怒之甚，实是难以形容，一转念间，心道：“我在长白山中巧得前辈遗留的剑经，苦练三十年，当世怎能尚有敌手？是了，想必这小子误打误撞，刚好碰到我手腕上的太渊穴。天下十分凑巧之事，原是有的。倘若他真是有意夺我手中兵刃，夺了之后，又怎会还我？瞧这小子小小年纪，能有多大气候，岂能夺得了卓某手中长剑？”心念及此，豪气又生，说道：“小子，你忒也多事！”长剑一递，剑尖指在虚竹的后心衣上，手劲轻送，要想刺破他的衣衫，便如对付段誉一般，令他也受些皮肉之苦。 虚竹这时体内北冥真气充盈流转，宛若实质，卓不凡长剑刺到，撞上了他体内真气，剑尖一歪，剑锋便从他身侧滑开。卓不凡大吃一惊，变招也真快捷，立时横剑削向虚竹胁下。这一招“玉带围腰”一剑连攻他前、右、后三个方位，三处都是致命的要害，凌厉狠辣。这时他已知虚竹武功之高，大出自己意料之外，这一招已是使上了全力。 虚竹“咦”的一声，身子微侧，不明白卓不凡适才还说得好端端地，何以突然翻脸，陡施杀手？嗤的一声，剑刃从他腋下穿过，将他的旧僧袍划破了长长的一条。卓不凡第二击不中，五分惊讶之外，更增了五分惧怕，身子滴溜溜的打了半个圈子，长剑一挺，剑尖上突然生出半尺吞吐不定的青芒。群众中有十余人齐声惊呼：“剑芒，剑芒！”那剑芒犹似长蛇般伸缩不定，卓不凡脸露狞笑，丹田中提一口真气，青芒突盛，向虚竹胸口刺来。 虚竹从未见过别人的兵刃上能生出青芒，听得群豪呼喝，料想是一门厉害武功，自己定然对付不了，脚步一错，滑了开去。卓不凡这一剑出了全力，中途无法变招，刷的一声响，长剑刺入了大石柱中，深入尺许。这根石柱乃极坚硬的花岗石所制，软身的长剑居然刺入一尺有余，可见他附在剑刃上的真力实是非同小可，群豪又忍不住喝彩。 卓不凡手上运劲，将长剑从石柱中拔出，仗剑向虚竹赶去，喝道：“小兄弟，你能逃到哪里去？”虚竹心下害怕，滑脚又再避开。 左侧突然有人嘿嘿一声冷笑，说道：“小和尚，躺下罢！”是个女子声音。两道白光闪处，两把飞刀在虚竹面前掠过。虚竹虽只在最初背负童姥之时，得她指点过一些轻功，但他内力深湛浑厚，举手投足之际，自然而然的轻捷无比，身随意转，飞刀来得虽快，他还是轻轻巧巧的躲过了。但见一个身穿淡红衣衫的中年美妇双手一招，便将两把飞刀接在手中。她掌心之中，倒似有股极强的吸力，将飞刀吸了过去。 卓不凡赞道：“芙蓉仙子的飞刀神技，可教人大开眼界了。” 虚竹蓦地想起，那晚众人合谋进攻缥缈峰之时，卓不凡、芙蓉仙子二人和不平道人乃是一路，不平道人在雪峰上被自己以松球打死，难怪二人要杀自己为同伴报仇。他自觉内疚，停了脚步，向卓不凡和芙蓉仙子不住作揖，说道：“我确是犯了极大的过错，当真该死，虽然当时我并非有意，唉，总之是铸成了难以挽回的大错。两位要打要骂，我……我这个……再也不敢躲闪了。” 卓不凡和芙蓉仙子崔绿华对望了一眼，均想：“这小子终于害怕了。”其实他们并不知道不平道人是死在虚竹的手下，即使知道，也不拟杀他为不平道人报仇。两人一般的心思，同时欺近身去，一左一右，抓住了虚竹的手腕。 虚竹想到不平道人死时的惨状，心中抱憾万分，不住讨饶：“我做错了事，当真后悔莫及。两位尽管重重责罚，我心甘情愿的领受，就是要杀我抵命，那也不敢违抗。” 卓不凡道：“你要我不伤你性命，那也容易，你只须将童姥临死时的遗言，原原本本的说与我听，便可饶了你。”崔绿华微笑道：“卓先生，小妹能不能听？”卓不凡道：“咱们只要寻到破解生死符的法门，这里众位朋友人人都受其惠，又不是在下一人能得好处。”他既不说让崔绿华同听秘密，亦不说不让她听，但言下之意，显然是欲独占成果。 崔绿华微笑道：“小妹却没你这么好良心，我便是瞧着这小子不顺眼。”左手紧紧抓着虚竹的手腕，右手一扬，两柄飞刀便往虚竹胸口插了下来。 童姥既死，卓不凡的师门大仇已难以得报，这时他只想找到破解生死符的法门，挟制群豪，作威作福。崔绿华的用意却全然不同。她兄长为三十六洞的三个洞主联手所杀，她想只要杀了虚竹，无人知道童姥的遗言，那三个洞主身上的生死符就永远难以破解，势必比她兄长死得惨过百倍，远胜于自己亲手杀人报仇，是以突然之间，猛施杀手。她这下出手好快，卓不凡长剑本已入鞘，忙去拔剑，眼看已然慢了一步。 虚竹一惊之下，不及多想，自然而然的双手一振，将卓不凡和崔绿华同时震开数步。 崔绿华一声呼喝，飞刀脱手，疾向虚竹射去。她虽跌出数步，但以投掷暗器而论，仍可说相距极近。卓不凡怕虚竹被杀，举剑往飞刀上撩去。崔绿华早料到卓不凡定会出剑相救，两柄飞刀脱手，跟着又有十柄飞刀连珠般掷出，其中三刀掷向卓不凡，志在将他挡得一挡，其余七刀都是向虚竹射去，面门、咽喉、胸膛、小腹，尽在飞刀的笼罩之下。 虚竹双手连抓，使出“天山折梅手”来，随抓随抛，但听得叮叮当当之声不绝，霎时之间，将十三件兵刃投在脚边。十二柄是崔绿华的飞刀，第十三件却是卓不凡的长剑。原来他一使上这“天山折梅手”，惶急之下，没再细想对手是谁，只是见兵刃便抓，顺手将卓不凡的长剑也夺了下来。 他夺下十三件兵刃，一抬头见到卓不凡苍白的脸色，回过头来，再见到崔绿华惊惧的眼神，心道：“糟糕，糟糕，我又得罪了人啦。”忙道：“两位请勿见怪，在下行事卤莽。”俯身拾起地下十三件兵刃，双手捧起，送到卓崔二人身前。 崔绿华还道他故意来羞辱自己，双掌运力，猛向他胸膛上击去。但听得拍的一声响，一股猛烈无比的力道反击而来，崔绿华“啊”的一声惊呼，身子向后飞去，砰的一下，重重撞在石墙之上，喷出两口鲜血。 卓不凡此次与不平道人、崔绿华联手，事先三人暗中曾相互伸量过武功内力，虽然卓不凡较二人为强，但也只稍胜一筹而已，此刻见虚竹双手捧着兵刃，单以体内的一股真气，便将崔绿华弹得身受重伤，自己万万不是对手。他知道今日已讨不了好去，双手向虚竹一拱，说道：“佩服，佩服，后会有期。” 虚竹道：“前辈请取了剑去。在下无意冒犯，请前辈不必介意。前辈要打要骂，为不平道长出气，我……我决计不敢反抗。” 在卓不凡听来，虚竹这几句话全成了刻毒的讥讽。他脸上已无半点血色，大踏步向厅外走去。
忽听得一声娇叱，一个女子的声音说道：“站住了！灵鹫宫是什么地方，容得你要来便来，要去便去吗？”卓不凡一凛，顺手便按剑柄，一按之下，却按了个空，这才想起长剑已给虚竹夺去，只见大门外拦着一块巨岩，二丈高，一丈宽，将大门密不透风的堵死了。这块巨岩不知是何时无声无息的移来，自己竟全然没有警觉。 群豪一见这等情景，均知已陷入了灵鹫宫的机关之中。众人一路攻战而前，将一干黄衫女子杀的杀，擒的擒，扫荡得干干净净，进入大厅之后，也曾四下察看有无伏兵，但此后有人身上生死符发作，各人触目惊心，物伤其类，再加上一连串变故接踵而来，竟没想到身处险地，危机四伏，待见得到巨岩堵死了大门，心中均是一凛：“今日要生出灵鹫宫，只怕大大的不易了。” 忽听得头顶一个女子的声音说道：“童姥姥座下四使婢，参见虚竹先生。”虚竹抬起头来，只见大厅靠近屋顶之处，有九块岩石凸了出来，似乎是九个小小的平台，其中四块岩石上各有一个十八九岁的少女，正自盈盈拜倒。四女一拜，随即纵身跃落，身在半空，手中已各持一柄长剑，飘飘而下。四女一穿浅红，一穿月白，一穿浅碧，一穿浅黄，同时跃下，同时着地，又向虚竹躬身拜倒，说道：“使婢迎接来迟，主人恕罪。”虚竹作揖还礼，说道：“四位姊姊不必多礼。” 四个少女抬起头来，众人都是一惊。但见四女不但高矮秾纤一模一样，而且相貌也没半点分别，一般的瓜子脸蛋，眼如点漆，清秀绝俗，所不同的只是衣衫颜色。 那穿浅红衫的女子道：“婢子四姊妹一胎孪生，童姥姥给婢子取名为梅剑，这三位妹子是兰剑、竹剑、菊剑。适才遇到昊天、朱天诸部姊妹，得知诸般情由。现下婢子已将独尊厅大门关上了，这一干大胆作反的奴才如何处置，便请主人发落。” 群豪听她自称为四姊妹一胎孪生，这才恍然，怪不得四人相貌一模一样，但见她四人容颜秀丽，语音清柔，各人心中均生好感，不料说到后来，那梅剑竟说什么“一干大胆作反的奴才”，实是无礼之极。两条汉子抢了上来，一人手持单刀，一人拿着一对判官笔，齐声喝道：“小妞儿，你口中不干不净的放……” 突然间青光连闪，兰剑、竹剑姊妹长剑掠出，跟着当当两声响，两条汉子的手腕已被截断，手掌连着兵刃掉在地下，这一招迅捷无伦，那二人手腕已断，口中还在说道：“……什么屁！哎唷！”齐声大叫，向后跃开，只洒得满地都是鲜血。 二女一出手便断了二人手腕，其余各人虽然颇有自忖武功比那两条大汉要高得多的，却也不敢贸然出手，何况眼见这座大厅四壁都是厚实异常的花岗岩，又不知厅中另有何等厉害机关，各人面面相觑，谁也没有作声。 寂静之中，忽然人丛中又有一人“荷荷荷”的咆哮起来。众人一听，都知又有人身上的生死符催命来了。 群豪相顾失色之际，一条铁塔般的大汉纵跳而出，双目尽赤，乱撕自己胸口衣服。许多人叫了起来：“铁鳌岛岛主！铁鳌岛岛主哈大霸！”那哈大霸口中呼叫，直如一头受伤了的猛虎，他提起铁钵般的拳头，砰的一声，将一张茶几击得粉碎，随即向菊剑冲去。 菊剑见到他可怖的神情，忘了自己剑法高强，心中害怕，一钻头便缩入了虚竹的怀中。哈大霸张开蒲扇般的大手，向梅剑抓来。这四个孪生姊妹心意相通，菊剑吓得浑身发抖，梅剑早受感应，眼见哈大霸扑到，“啊”的一声惊呼，躲到了虚竹背后。 哈大霸一抓不中，翻转双手，便往自己两只眼睛中挖去。虚竹叫道：“使不得！”衣袖挥出，拂中他的臂弯，哈大霸双手便即垂下。虚竹道：“这位兄台体内所种的生死符发作，在下来想法子给你解去。”当即使出“天山六阳掌”中的一招“阳歌天钧”，在哈大霸背心“灵台穴”上一拍。哈大霸几下剧震，全身宛如虚脱。 青光闪处，两柄长剑分别向哈大霸刺到，正是兰剑、竹剑二姝乘机出手。虚竹道：“不可！”夹手将双剑夺过，喃喃念道：“糟糕，糟糕！不知他的生死符在何处？”他虽学会了生死符的破解之法，究竟见识浅陋，看不出哈大霸身上生死符的所在，这一招“阳歌天钧”又出力太猛，哈大霸竟然受不起。 哈大霸说道：“中……中在……悬枢……气……气海……丝……丝空竹……”适才虚竹一招“阳歌天钧”，已令他神智恢复。 虚竹喜道：“你自己知道，那就好了。”当即以童姥所授法门，用天山六阳掌的纯阳之力，将他悬枢、气海、丝空竹三处穴道中的寒冰生死符化去。 哈大霸站起身来，挥拳踢腿，大喜若狂，突然扑翻在地，砰砰砰的向虚竹磕头，说道：“恩公在上，哈大霸的性命，是你老人家给的，此后恩公但有所命，哈大霸赴汤蹈火，在所不辞。”虚竹对人向来恭谨，见哈大霸行此礼，忙跪下还礼，也砰砰砰的向他磕头，说道：“在下不敢受此重礼，你向我磕头，我也得向你磕头。”哈大霸大声道：“恩公快快请起，你向我磕头，可真折杀小人了。”为了表示感激之意，又多磕几个头。虚竹见他又磕头，当下又磕头还礼。 两人趴在地下，磕头不休。猛听得几百人齐声叫了起来：“给我破解生死符，给我破解生死符。”身上中了生死符的群豪蜂拥而前，将二人团团围住。一名老者将哈大霸扶起，说道：“不用磕头啦，大伙儿都要请恩公疗毒救命。” 虚竹见哈大霸站起，这才站起身来，说道：“各位别忙，听我一言。”霎时之间，大厅上没半点声息。虚竹说道：“要破解生死符，须得确知所种的部位，各位自己知不知道？” 霎时间众人乱成一团，有的说：“我知道！”有的说：“我中在委中穴、内庭穴！”有的说：“我全身发疼，他妈的也不知中在什么鬼穴道！”有的说：“我身上麻痒疼痛，每个月不同，这生死符会走！” 突然有人大声喝道：“大家不要吵，这般嚷嚷的，虚竹子先生能听得见么？”出声呼喝的正是群豪之首的乌老大，众人便即静了下来。 虚竹道：“在下虽蒙童姥授了破解生死符的法门……”七八个人忍不住叫了起来：“妙极，妙极！”“吾辈性命有救了！”只听虚竹续道：“……但辨穴认病的本事却极肤浅。不过各位也不必担心，若是自己确知生死符部位的，在下逐一施治，助各位破解。就算不知，咱们慢慢琢磨，再请几位精于医道的朋友来一同参详，总之是要治好为止。” 群豪大声欢呼，只震得满厅中都是回声。过了良久，欢呼声才渐渐止歇。 梅剑冷冷的道：“主人应允给你们取出生死符，那是他老人家的慈悲。可是你们大胆作乱，害得童姥离宫下山，在外仙逝，你们又来攻打缥缈峰，害死了我们钧天部的不少姊妹，这笔帐却又如何算法？” 此言一出，群豪面面相觑，心中不禁冷了半截，寻思梅剑所言确是实情，虚竹既是童姥的传人，对众人所犯下的大罪不会置之不理。有人便欲出言哀恳，但转念一想，害死童姥、倒反灵鹫宫之罪何等深重，岂能哀求几句，便能了事？话到口边，又缩了回去。 乌老大道：“这位姊姊所责甚是有理，吾辈罪过甚大，甘领虚竹子先生的责罚。”他摸准了虚竹的脾气，知他忠厚老实，绝非阴狠毒辣的童姥可比，若是由他出手惩罚，下手也必比梅兰菊竹四剑为轻，因之向他求告。 群豪中不少人便即会意，跟着叫了起来：“不错，咱们罪孽深重，虚竹子先生要如何责罚，大家甘心领罪。”有些人想到生死符催命时的痛苦，竟然双膝一曲，跪了下来。 虚竹浑没了主意，向梅剑道：“梅剑姊姊，你瞧该当怎么办？”梅剑道：“这些都不是好人，害死了钧天部这么多姊妹，非叫他们偿命不可。” 无量洞副洞主左子穆向梅剑深深一揖，说道：“姑娘，咱们身上中了生死符，实在是惨不堪言，一听到童姥姥她老人家不在峰上，不免着急，以致做错了事，实在悔之莫及。求你姑娘大人大量，向虚竹子先生美言几句。” 梅剑脸一沉，说道：“那些杀过人的，快将自己的右臂砍了，这是最轻的惩戒了。”她话一出口，觉得自己发号施令，于理不合，转头向虚竹道：“主人，你说是不是？”虚竹觉得如此惩罚太重，却又不愿得罪梅剑，嗫嚅道：“这个……这个……嗯……那个……” 人群中忽有一人越众而出，正是大理国王子段誉。他性喜多管闲事，评论是非，向虚竹拱了拱手，笑道：“仁兄，这些朋友们来攻打缥缈峰，小弟一直极不赞成，只不过说干了嘴，也劝他们不听。今日大伙儿闯下大祸，仁兄欲加罪责，倒也应当。小弟向仁兄讨一个差使，由小弟来将这些朋友们责罚一番如何？” 那日群豪要杀童姥，歃血为盟，段誉力加劝阻，虚竹是亲耳听到的，知道这位公子仁心侠胆，对他好生敬重，自己负了童姥给李秋水从千丈高峰打下来，也曾得他相救，何况自己正没做理会处，听他如此说，忙拱手道：“在下识见浅陋，不会处事。段公子肯出面料理，在下感激不尽。” 群豪初听段誉强要出头来责罚他们，如何肯服？有些脾气急躁的已欲破口大骂，待听得虚竹竟一口应允，话到口边，便都缩回去了。 段誉喜道：“如此甚好。”转身面对群豪说道：“众位所犯过错，实在太大，在下所定的惩罚之法，却也非轻。虚竹子先生既让在下处理，众位若有违抗，只怕虚竹子老兄便不肯给你们拔去身上的生死符了。嘿嘿，这第一条嘛，大家需得在童姥灵前，恭恭敬敬的磕上八个响头，肃穆默念，忏悔前非，磕
