This day is coming to Kaifeng, Yue Buqun and his wife talked about the martial arts figures in Kaifeng Mansion with all the disciples.Yue Buqun said: "Although Kaifeng is a big capital, martial arts are not strong. People like Hua Lao, Hai Lao, and Yuzhong Sanying have no great martial arts and prestige. Let's visit places of interest in Kaifeng." That is, stop visiting guests and friends, so as not to disturb others." Mrs. Yue smiled and said: "There is a very famous person in Kaifeng Mansion, why did senior brother forget?" Yue Buqun said: "Is it very famous? Who do you think it is...?" Mrs. Yue said with a smile: "'One doctor, Kill one person, kill one person, and heal one person. Healing people kills as many people, and we will never do business at a loss.' Who is that?" Yue Buqun smiled and said: "'Famous murderer doctor' is equal to one finger, so he is very famous. But His temper is too weird, so we went to visit him, but he might not be willing to see him." Madam Yue said, "Yes, otherwise Chong'er's internal injuries would be hard to heal, and we came to Kaifeng again, we should ask this murderous famous doctor to have a look. "

Yue Lingshan wondered: "Mom, what is a 'famous doctor who kills'? How can he be a famous doctor who can kill people?" Mrs. Yue smiled and said: "This old Mr. Ping is a strange... a strange person in the martial arts world. It is said that no matter how serious the disease or injury is, as long as he promises to treat it, it will never be cured. But he has a strange temper. He said that there are many people in the world and there are few, and God and King Yama Naturally, there are many. If he heals many people’s injuries and fewer people die, there will inevitably be too many living people and too few dead people. I’m sorry King Yama. After he himself dies in the future, even if King Yama ignores him, the judge will decide. If you make things difficult for him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live in the underworld." All the disciples laughed when they heard this.

Mrs. Yue continued: "So he made a vow that as long as he saves one person, he must kill one to make up for it. And if he kills one, he must save one to make up for it. He is in his hospital apartment. There is a large central hall hanging on it, which reads: "Heal one person, kill one person. Kill one person, heal one person. Doctors kill as many people as heals. We will never do money-losing business." He said that in this way, God will not blame him for killing and injuring people. Yama will not blame him for stealing the business of the underworld." All the disciples laughed again.

Yue Lingshan said: "This Doctor Ping Yizhi is very interesting. Why did he take such a strange name? Does he only have one finger?" Mrs. Yue said: "It doesn't seem to be a finger. Brother, do you know why he is What is this name?" Yue Buqun said: "Doctor Ping has all ten fingers. He calls himself 'one finger', meaning that he only needs one finger to kill and heal people. If he wants to kill someone, he will die with one finger. If he wants to heal someone, he only needs one finger. Finger pulse." Mrs. Yue said: "Ah, so that's the case. Then his acupressure skills must be very good?" Yue Buqun said: "That's not so clear. If you really fought with this Doctor Ping, only I'm afraid there are not many of them. All the masters in the martial arts know that he is extremely skilled in medicine. In life, no one can guarantee that there will be no mistakes. Maybe one day they will come to ask him, so no one dares to offend him. But if it is not forced, I don't dare to ask him for medical treatment rashly." Yue Lingshan said: "Why?" Yue Buqun said: "When people in the martial arts invite him to heal their illnesses and injuries, he must make a solemn oath first, and after the illness recovers, You have to follow his order to kill a person he appointed. This is called a life for a life. If the person he wants to kill is an irrelevant person, that's all right. If the person he appoints to kill is actually a close relative Friends, or even fathers, brothers, wives and children, wouldn’t that be extremely embarrassing?” All the disciples said: “This doctor Ping, that’s a tricky one.”

Yue Lingshan said: "Master brother, so you can't ask him to heal your injury." Linghu Chong has been leaning against the rear cabin door, listening to his master and wife tell about the eccentricity of the "famous murderer doctor" Ping Yizhi, and hearing what the little junior sister said, he smiled lightly and said, "Yes! I'm afraid he will call me after he heals my injury." Killed my little junior sister." The Huashan group disciples all laughed. Yue Lingshan smiled and said: "This Doctor Ping has no grievances with me, why do you want you to kill me?" She turned her head and asked her father, "Father, is this Doctor Ping a good person or a bad person?" Yue Buqun Said: "I heard that his behavior is moody, good and evil, he can't be called a good person, nor can he be regarded as a bad person. If you say it better, he is a strange person, but if you say it worse, he is a weird person."

Yue Lingshan said: "I'm afraid there are rumors spreading in the rivers and lakes, exaggerating things. When I get to Kaifeng Mansion, I would like to visit this Doctor Ping." Yue Buqun and Mrs. Yue shouted in unison: "Don't mess around. !" Yue Lingshan saw that her father and mother's faces were very serious, she was slightly startled, and asked, "Why?" Yue Buqun said, "Do you want to cause trouble? You can see such people?" Yue Lingshan said, "See The last time I saw him, I would cause trouble for my upper body? I am not going to ask him for medical treatment, what are you afraid of?" Yue Buqun's face sank, and he said: "We are here to visit the mountains and rivers, not to cause trouble." Yue Lingshan saw My father was angry, so he didn't dare to say any more, but he was full of curiosity about this "Ping Yizhi, a famous murderer doctor".

At the hour of Chenpai the next day, the boat arrived in Kaifeng, but there was still a long way to Fucheng. Yue Buqun said with a smile: "There is a place not far from here. It was the place where our Yue family made a big splash in the past, so we have to go." Yue Lingshan clapped her hands and laughed, "Okay, I know, that's Zhuxian Town, it's Yue Pengju The place where Grandpa Yue broke the Golden Wushu." Everyone who studies martial arts admires Yue Fei who fought against the Jin Weiguo, and Zhuxian Town is the place where Yue Fei broke the Golden Army in the past, so everyone wants to see it.Yue Lingshan was the first to jump onto the pier and shouted, "Let's go to Zhuxian Town quickly, and then go to Kaifeng City for lunch."

Everyone went ashore one after another, but Linghu Chong sat motionless at the back.Yue Lingshan called out: "Master brother, why don't you go?" Since Linghu Chong lost his internal strength, he has been tired and sleepy, too lazy to move around, thinking that everyone would go ashore for fun, and he would just take the opportunity to learn how to play the "Pure Heart and Universal Goodness Mantra". Leng said, "I don't have the energy to walk fast." Yue Lingshan said, "Okay, you rest in the boat, and I'll get you a few catties of good wine in Kaifeng."

Seeing her walking side by side with Lin Pingzhi, Linghu Chong felt sore in his heart, he felt that after learning the "Pure Heart and Universal Kindness Mantra", even if he could really heal his internal injuries, why bother?Why should I learn this piano?Looking at the turbid current in the Yellow River rolling eastward, for a moment, I only feel that life is miserable, just like flowing water endlessly, this affects the internal force, and the dantian immediately feels great pain.
Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi walked side by side, pointing out things and talking softly, but they were in a normal mood.

Madam Yue tugged at her husband's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Shan'er and Ping'er are young, it doesn't matter if men and women walk together like this in the mountains, but it's not right in a big city, let us two elders accompany them." Yue Buqun smiled and said: "You and I are not young anymore, it doesn't matter if men and women go together." Mrs. Yue laughed, took a few steps, and walked to her daughter.The four of them asked passers-by for directions and headed towards Zhuxian Town. When I was about to reach the town, I saw a big temple beside the road, with four gold characters "Temple of General Yang" written on the forehead of the temple.Yue Lingshan said: "Father, I know. This is the temple of General Yang Zaixing. He strayed into the Xiaoshang River by mistake and was shot to death by Jin soldiers." Yue Buqun nodded and said, "Exactly. General Yang died for the country. People are so respectful, let's go into the temple to pay respects to the relics and kneel down to worship the heroic spirits." Seeing that the rest of the disciples were still far apart, the four of them entered the temple without waiting.

Seeing Yang Zaixing's god statue with powder-faced silver armor, full of heroism, Yue Lingshan thought: "This General Yang is so handsome!" At this moment, someone outside the temple suddenly heard saying: "I said that the one offering sacrifices to General Yang's temple must be Yang Zaixing." Hearing the voice, Yue Buqun and his wife's expressions changed, and at the same time they stretched out their hands to hold down the hilt of the sword.But another person said: "there are so many generals surnamed Yang in the world, why must it be Yang Zaixing? Maybe it's Old Linggong Yang, the golden knife in Houshan, or maybe it's Yang Liulang or Yang Qilang?" Another person said: "Single It's the generals of the Yang family, not necessarily Yang Linggong, Yang Liulang, or Yang Qilang, maybe Yang Zongbao and Yang Wenguang?" Another person said: "Why can't it be Yang Silang?" A temple will be erected to worship him." The other said: "You will surrender to Fanbang if you ridicule me for being the fourth, right?" The first said: "You are the fourth, what has it to do with Yang Silang?" The other said He said: "You are ranked fifth. Yang Wulang became a monk in Wutai Mountain, why don't you become a monk?" The first person said: "If I become a monk, you have to surrender to Fanbang." When Yue Buqun and his wife heard the first person speak, they knew that the monsters from Peach Valley had arrived, they immediately made a gesture, and hid behind the statue with their daughter and Lin Pingzhi.His wife hid on the left, Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi hid on the right. I could only hear the Taogu monsters arguing non-stop outside the temple, but they didn't come in to see for themselves.Yue Lingshan secretly laughed: "Then what is there to argue about, is it Yang Zaixing or Yang Silang, why don't you just come in and have a look?" Mrs. Yue carefully discerned the voices outside, it was only five people, she thought that the other person was stabbed to death by herself, she and her husband stayed away from Mount Hua, avoiding these five monsters, to prevent them from going up to the mountain to avenge, unexpectedly they met on a narrow road, but they still ran into each other here Even though I haven't seen it yet, other disciples will arrive in a blink of an eye, how can I escape?I'm really worried. It was only heard that the five monsters fought more and more fiercely, and finally one person said: "Let's go in and see what kind of stinky Bodhisattva is enshrined in this temple." The five people rushed in.One person shouted loudly: "Aha, look, it doesn't clearly say 'God of Yang Gong Zaixing' here, of course it is Yang Zaixing." It was Tao Zhixian who spoke. Tao Ganxian scratched his head and said, "It says 'Yang Gongzai' here, not 'Yang Zaixing'. It turns out that General Yang's surname is Yang, and his name is Gongzai. Well, Yang Gongzai, Yang Gongzai, okay Name, what a good name." Taozhixian was furious, and said loudly: "This is obviously Yang Zaixing, you are talking nonsense, why is it called Yang Gongzai?" Tao Ganxian said: "It is clearly written 'Yang Gongzai', isn't it? 'Yang Zaixing'." Tao Genxian said: "Then what does the word 'Xing Zhi Shen' mean?" Tao Ye Xian said: "Xing means happiness, and the God of Xing means being very happy. Mr. Yang Zai's surname is Yang My boy, of course he is very happy when he is dead." Tao Ganxian said: "Very, very." Peach Blossom Immortal said: "I said that Yang Qilang is the offering here. It's really good. My Peach Blossom Immortal has a great foresight." Tao Zhixian said angrily: "It's Yang Zaixing, why is it Yang Qilang?" Gongzai, why is it Yang Qilang?" Peach Blossom Immortal said: "Third Brother, what is Yang Zaixing's ranking?" Tao Zhixian shook his head and said, "I don't know." Xiandao: "I knew it before, but now I forget it." Peach Blossom Immortal said: "I remember that he is also ranked seventh, so he is Yang Qilang." Taogen Xiandao: "If this statue is Yang Zaixing, it is not Yang Gongzai; It's Yang Gongzai, not Yang Zaixing. Why is it Yang Zaixing again, and Yang Gongzai again?" Tao Yexian said: "Brother, you don't know. What does the word 'zai' mean? 'Zai' means another one It means that there must be two people instead of one, so it is both Yang Gongzai and Yang Zaixing." The remaining four said: "This statement makes sense." Suddenly, Taozhixian said: "You said that there is a word 'Zai' in the name, so you need to add another one. Then Yang Qilang has seven sons, that is a well-known thing!" Taogenxian said: "But there is a thousand sons in the name. If you have 10,000 characters, you will have 1000 sons, if you have 10,000 characters, you will have 10,000 sons?" The five people talked further and further away.Yue Lingshan wanted to laugh a few times, but she forced herself to hold back. The Taogu five monsters fought for a while, and Tao Ganxian suddenly said: "Yang Qilang, Yang Qilang, as long as you protect our sixth younger brother from death, it's okay for me to kowtow to you a few times. I'll kowtow first here." Kneeling down kowtow. When Yue Buqun and his wife heard this, they looked at each other with joy on their faces, and thought: "Listen to what he said, that strange man is not dead even though he was hit by a sword." I really don't want to make such an unintelligible enemy. Taozhixian said: "What if the sixth brother dies?" Taoganxian said: "I will beat the statue to pieces, and then urinate on the mud." Sprinkle a piss, even if you pull a pile of shit, so what? The sixth brother is dead, you kowtow, in short, you have suffered a loss!" Taozhixian said: "It makes sense, but this one is not Busy kowtow, let's go and find out whether the sixth brother's injury is cured well or not. Kowtow if he is cured well, and pee if he is not cured." Taogen Xian said: "If it is cured well, don't kowtow If it is cured well, there is no need to knock on this head. If it can't be cured, it can't be cured even if you don't urinate, so you don't need to urinate." Tao Yexian said: "Sixth brother can't be cured, so we all don't urinate. If you don’t urinate, don’t you want to bloat to death?” Tao Ganxian burst into tears suddenly, and said: “If the sixth brother can’t survive, everyone will not urinate if they don’t urinate, and they will bloat to death.” The other four also They all burst into tears. Taozhixian burst out laughing, and said: "If the sixth brother doesn't die, we will cry for nothing. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage? Go and ask, and it's not too late to cry." Taohuaxian said: "This sentence is very grammatical. If the sixth brother doesn't die, the words 'It's never too late to cry' won't be needed." The five of them argued and walked out of the temple quickly.
Yue Buqun said: "The matter of that person's life and death is very important. I'll go find out the truth. Junior sister, you and Shan'er are waiting for me to come back here." Mrs. Yue said: "You are alone in danger and there is no rescue. You go together." He said and left the temple first.Yue Buqun used to always join hands with husband and wife whenever important events happened, now hearing what his wife said, he knew he couldn't hold her back, so he didn't say much. After the two left the temple, they saw the Five Monsters of Peach Valley turning from a small road into a mountain depression in the distance.The two of them didn't dare to get too close, they just followed from a distance, fortunately the five people were arguing very loudly, even though they were far apart, they could hear their whereabouts.Along that mountain road, passing by more than a dozen big willow trees, I saw a few tile houses beside a small stream, and the arguments of the five monsters rang directly into the tile houses. Yue Buqun said softly: "Go around from behind the house." The couple started their lightness kung fu, ran far to the right, and then turned around from Lixu.There is another row of willows behind the tile house, and the two of them hide behind the willows. Suddenly, the Five Peach Valley Monsters yelled in unison: "You killed the sixth brother!" "Why... how did you cut his chest open?" "I want you to die, you bastard." ""Ah, Sixth Brother, you died so badly, I...we will never pee, and die with you." Yue Buqun and his wife were shocked: "Why did someone cut the chest of their sixth brother?" They made a gesture, bent down and walked to the window, and looked into the house through the crack. I saw seven or eight lamps lit brightly in the room, and there was a big bed in the middle of the room.There was a naked man lying on his back on the bed, his chest had been cut open, blood was flowing, his eyes were closed, he seemed to have been dead for a long time, looking at his face, it was Tao Shixian who received Mrs. Yue's sword on the top of Mount Hua that day.The Peach Valley Five Monsters gathered around the bed, pointing at a short and fat man and yelling. This short and fat man has a huge head, a mouse mustache, shaking his head, his appearance is very funny.His hands were covered in blood, and in his right hand he held a bright short knife, which was also stained with blood.He stared straight at the Peach Valley Five Monsters, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Have you finished farting?" The Peach Valley Five Monsters said in unison: "It's over, what do you want to fart?" The short fat man said: " This living dead man was hit with a sword in his chest. You applied gold wound medicine to him, and carried him from thousands of miles away to beg me for help. You walked too slowly on the road, the wound was scarred, and the meridians were all wrong. It is possible to save his life. However, the meridians are disordered, all martial arts are lost after being revived, and the lower body is paralyzed, unable to move. What is the use of such a disabled person after being cured?" Taogen Xian said: "Although it is a disabled person, it is better than a dead person." The short fat man said angrily : "If I don't want to be treated, I will be cured. If I become a useless person, what face will I have? I won't be treated, I won't be treated! You can carry this dead body away, I am determined not to treat you. I am so angry, I'm mad too!" Tao Genxian said: "You said 'I'm pissed off', why aren't you pissed off?" The short fat man stared at him, and said coldly: "I've been pissed off by you a long time ago. How do you know I didn't Die?" Tao Ganxian said: "Since you didn't have the ability to heal my sixth brother, why did you open his chest again?" The short fat man said coldly: "What is my nickname?" Tao Ganxian said : "Your bullshit nickname Youdao is 'Famous Killer Doctor'!" Yue Buqun and his wife were stunned, looked at each other, and thought: "It turns out that this strange short fat man is actually a famous 'killing doctor'. That's right, the world's medical practitioners are said to be the best in the world. Pointing to the number one, that strange man was seriously injured, so it was reasonable for them to come to him for medical treatment." Just listen to Ping Yizhi coldly said: "Since I am known as a 'famous doctor for killing', what is so strange about killing a lot of people?" Taohua Xian said: "What is so difficult about killing people? Can't I? You can only kill people, not Healing people is called the word 'famous doctor' in vain." Ping Yi pointed: "Who said I can't heal people? I cut open the chest of the living dead, reconnected the meridians, after healed, both internal and external martial arts and uninjured This is the way to kill a famous doctor." The five monsters in Peach Valley were overjoyed, and said in unison: "It turns out that you were able to save our sixth brother, so it's your fault." Tao Genxian said: "Why...why didn't you treat him? Sixth brother's chest was cut open by you, Bleeding all the time, if you don't get medical treatment quickly, it will be too late." Ping Yi pointed: "Is it you or me who killed the famous doctor?" Tao Genxian said: "Of course it is you, so why ask?" Ping Yi pointed: "Since it is me, you How do you know if it’s too late? Besides, after I cut open his chest, I was already treating him, but you five idiots kept talking, how can I treat him? I’ll ask you to go to the Temple of General Yang to play for half a day, and then to the Temple of General Niu, General Zhang went to play in the temple, why did you come back so soon?" Tao Ganxian said: "Hurry up and treat the wound, you are the one who is talking about it, and you are talking about us talking about it." Ping Yizhi stared at him again, and suddenly shouted: "Bring a needle and thread!" He yelled so suddenly that Taogu Wuxian and Yue Buqun and his wife were startled. They saw a tall and thin woman walking into the room, holding a wooden tray, and let it go without saying a word. on the table.This woman was about forty years old, with big ears, sunken eyes, and a bloodless face. Ping Yi pointed and said: "You begged me to save this man, I told you my rules, didn't I?" Tao Genxian said: "Yes. We have already agreed and sworn. No matter if you want to kill Who is it, please order it down, and all six of us will obey." Ping Yi pointed and said: "That's it, I haven't thought of killing anyone right now, I will tell you when I think about it. You all give I stood aside, not allowed to make a sound, as long as I make the slightest sound, I will stop immediately, whether this person is dead or alive, I don't care anymore." The six Taogu brothers slept in the same room and ate at the same table since they were young. They never stopped talking for a moment, and often argued with themselves in their sleep.At this time, you look at me, I look at you, everyone is full of words, and they need to speak quickly, but thinking that they only need to say a word, and the sixth brother's life is lost, so I can only hold back, even the breath Not daring to take a sip, and afraid of accidentally farting. Ping Yizhi took a large needle from the tray, threaded it on with a thick transparent thread, and sewed up the incision in Taoshixian's chest.His ten fingers are thick and short, like ten carrots, unexpectedly his movements are extremely dexterous, he moved the needle like flying, he sewed up a wound about nine inches long in a short while, and then he backhanded from many magnetic bottles He took out the medicinal powder and potion, applied them on the wound one after another, pried open Taoshixian's tooth root, poured several kinds of potion, and then wiped off the blood on his body with a damp cloth.The tall and thin woman has been helping, handing needles and medicines, and her movements are also very skillful. Pingyi pointed at the Five Immortals of Peach Valley and saw that the five people's lips were twitching, each of them was eager to speak, so he said: "This person is not alive yet, you can talk again when he comes back to life." The five people were tongue-tied and looked embarrassed extreme.Ping pointed to "hum" and sat aside.The woman moved the needlework knife and other things out. Yue Buqun and his wife hid outside the window, holding their breath, the house was completely silent at the moment, as long as there was a slight movement outside the window, everyone in the house would immediately notice it. After a long time, Ping Yizhi stood up, walked to Tao Shixian's side, suddenly stretched out his palm and hit the "Baihui Point" on the top of Tao Shixian's head hard.The six people said "ah" and exclaimed at the same time.Five of these six people are the Five Immortals of Peach Valley, and the other is the Immortal Taoshi who has been lying in a coma all this time. Tao Shixian uttered a cry, then sat up and scolded: "Your grandma, why did you hit me on the head?" Did you heal so fast?" Tao Shixian said: "Your grandma, I am getting better quickly but slowly, what does it have to do with you?" Ping Yi pointed: "Your grandma, you are getting better slowly. The method of killing a famous doctor is not smart enough? Don’t you hate it when you are always lying in my room?” Tao Shixian said: “Your grandma, you hate me, I’m fine, don’t you care?” Yi Gulu stood up, Just walk. The Five Immortals of Peach Valley saw that he left as soon as he said so, and recovered so quickly, they were both surprised and happy, followed him and went out. Yue Buqun and his wife were horrified, they both thought: "Ping Yizhi's medical skills are really astonishing, and his internal strength is not trivial, the pat just now on the Baihui acupoint on the top of Taoshixian's head must have injected a strong internal force into his body, which can make him feel better He will wake up immediately." The two hesitated for a while, and saw that the Six Immortals of Peach Valley had gone far away, Ping Yizhi stood up and walked to another room. Yue Buqun gestured to his wife, and the two of them walked away lightly, and only walked quickly when they were tens of feet away from the house.Mrs. Yue said: "That famous murderer's internal energy is very good, and he's doing something really evil." Yue Buqun said: "Since the six monsters in Peach Valley are here, there must be a lot of right and wrong in Kaifeng Mansion. Let's leave as soon as possible. I got entangled with them." Mrs. Yue snorted, she had suffered a lot of grievances in the past few months in her life, and her husband, the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect, had to dodge here and there. , It seems that there is no place to stay.He and his wife talked about everything, and whenever the topic involved this matter, they avoided it to avoid embarrassment.At this moment, thinking that Tao Shixian will not die in the end, it feels like a big stone has been put down in his heart.
When they returned to General Yang Temple, they saw Yue Lingshan, Lin Pingzhi, Lao Denuo and other disciples waiting in the back hall.Yue Buqun said: "Go back to the boat!" Everyone knew that the Peach Valley Five Monsters were there, so they hurried back to the boat without asking any further questions. Just as he was about to order the boatman to sail, he suddenly heard the Five Immortals of Peach Valley shouting in unison: "Linghu Chong, Linghu Chong, where are you?" The faces of Yue Buqun, his wife and Huashan group's disciples changed drastically, and they saw six people rushing to the pier, besides the Five Immortals of Peach Valley, the other was Ping Yizhi. The Five Immortals of Peach Valley recognized Yue Buqun and his wife, and when they saw them from a distance, they cheered loudly, and the five of them jumped up and jumped onto the boat together. Madam Yue immediately drew out her long sword and stabbed at Taogenxian's chest.Yue Buqun had also struck out with his long sword, and with a bang, he pressed his wife's blade down, and said in a low voice: "Don't be reckless!" The bow of the boat sank slightly, and the Five Immortals of Peach Valley were already standing on the bow. Tao Genxian said loudly: "Linghu Chong, where are you hiding? Why don't you come out?" Linghu Chong was furious and shouted: "Am I afraid of you? Why do you want to hide?" At this moment, the hull of the boat shook slightly, and there was another person on the bow, who was the famous murderer doctor Ping Yizhi.Yue Buqun was secretly surprised: "My junior sister and I have just returned to the boat, and this dwarf followed him. Could it be that he found the two of us peeping outside the window? The Peach Valley Five Monsters are already extremely difficult to deal with, plus this powerful person, Yue Buqun The lives of the Buqun couple may be sent to Kaifeng today." Just listen to Ping Yi pointing: "Which one is Brother Linghu?" The words are actually very polite.Linghu Chong walked slowly to the bow of the boat, and said: "I'm ordering Linghu Chong, I don't know your surname, what can I teach you?" Pingyi looked him up and down, and said, "Someone entrusted me to heal your injury." He stretched out his hand to grab his wrist, and caught his pulse with an index finger, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and there was a "Huh", after a while, His brows were slowly frowned, and there was another "ah", he looked up to the sky, scratched his head with his left hand, and murmured: "Strange, strange!" After a long time, he stretched out his hand to touch Linghu Chong's other hand. Suddenly, he sneezed and said, "It's so weird, I've never encountered it in my life." Tao Genxian couldn't help but said: "What's so strange? His heart meridian is injured, and I have already cured him with my inner strength." Taoganxian said: "You are still saying that his heart meridian is injured, it is obviously because of the lung meridian. If I didn't use my true energy to unblock his lung meridian points, how could this boy survive to this day?" Taozhixian, Taoyexian, and Taohuaxian also made a lot of fallacies, each insisting on their own words, claiming great merit. Ping Yizhi suddenly yelled: "Fart, fart!" Tao Genxian said angrily: "Is it you who fart, or my fifth brother?" Ping Yizhi said: "Of course it's your six brothers who fart! The strong zhenqi seems to be infused by Monk Bujie, and the other six weaker zhenqi are probably from you six fools." Yue Buqun and his wife looked at each other, and they both thought: "This Ping Yizhi is really remarkable. As soon as he took his pulse, he felt eight different qi in Chong'er's body. It's not surprising, but he can tell the history and know the truth. The two ways come from monks who are not precepts." Tao Ganxian said angrily: "Why are the six of us weaker, and the one who doesn't quit is stronger? It's obviously our strength and his weakness!" Ping Yizhi sneered and said: "How shameless! His two qi alone suppressed the six of you. Are you the stronger one? Bujie monk is an old bastard. Although he is strong in martial arts, he has no knowledge. He Damn it, old bastard!" Peach Blossom Immortal stretched out a finger, pretending to take the pulse of Linghu Chong's right hand, and said: "As far as I can tell from the pulse, it's the true energy of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, which can't move the true energy of the monk who doesn't quit..." Suddenly Suddenly, he yelled, that finger seemed to be bitten by someone, and he flinched, shouting: "Oh, fuck it!" Ping Yizhi laughed out loud, very pleased with himself.Everyone knew that he used the above-mentioned inner strength to transmit force through Linghu Chong's body, and shook Peach Blossom Immortal severely. Ping Yizhi laughed for a while, his face darkened, and said: "You all wait in the cabin for me, no one is allowed to make a sound!" Tao Ye Xian said: "I am me, you are you, why should we listen to you?" Ping Yi pointed: "You swore to kill me, didn't you?" Tao Zhi Xian said: "Yes, We only promised to kill one person for you, but we didn't promise to listen to your words." Ping Yi pointed: "It's up to you whether you listen or not. But if I ask you to kill Taoshi Immortal among the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, what do you want? How?" Peach Valley Five Immortals yelled in unison: "This is unreasonable! You just saved him, why did you ask us to kill him?" Ping Yi pointed: "You five, what oath have you made to me?" Tao Genxian said: "We promised you, if you save our brother Tao Shixian, you told us to kill someone, no matter who we want to kill Whoever it is, must obey and do not shirk." Ping Yi pointed: "That's right. Did I save your brother?" Peach Blossom Immortal said: "He has been saved!" Ping Yi pointed: "Is Tao Shixian a human being?" Tao Yexian said: "Of course he is a human, is he still a ghost?" Ping Yi pointed: "Okay, I ask you to kill a person, this person is Tao Shixian!" The Five Immortals of Taogu look at me and I look at you, and they all feel that this matter is too unbelievable, but it is difficult to refute. Ping Yi pointed out: "If you really don't want to kill Tao Shixian, then you can accommodate. Do you listen to me? I'll tell you to go to the cabin and sit obediently. No one is allowed to talk or move. "The Five Immortals of Peach Valley agreed repeatedly, and in a blink of an eye, all five of them had put their hands on their knees and sat down dignifiedly. Linghu Chong said: "Senior Ping, I heard that you have a rule to cure people and save their lives. After saving lives, you have to ask that person to kill another person for you." Ping Yi pointed: "Yes, there is indeed such a rule." : "The junior is unwilling to kill for you, so you don't have to treat me." Hearing this, Ping Yizhi let out a "ha", and then sized up Linghu Chong from head to toe, as if he was inspecting something strange, and after a while, he said: "First, your illness It's very serious, and I can't cure it. Second, even if it's cured, someone has promised to kill me, so you don't need to do it yourself." Although Linghu Chong had felt lifeless since Yue Lingshan moved on, he suddenly heard that this famous doctor with the ability to regenerate concluded that his illness was incurable, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart. Yue Buqun and his wife looked at each other again, thinking: "What kind of person has such a big face to invite a 'killer doctor' to visit the patient's residence? What kind of friendship does this person have with Chong'er?" Ping Yi pointed out: "Brother Linghu, there are eight different types of true qi in your body, which can't be driven out, dissolved, subdued, or suppressed. It's difficult. I was entrusted by others to heal your illness. It's not because I don't Willing to try my best, in fact your cause of disease is related to zhenqi, not acupuncture and moxibustion medicine stones can be effective, since I practiced medicine, I have never encountered such a disease, I am helpless, I am very ashamed." He took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured it out Ten vermilion pills, said: "These ten pills of calming mental energy contain many precious medicinal materials, and it is not easy to prepare them. If you take one pill every ten days, you can prolong your life for a hundred days." Linghu Chong took it with both hands, and said, "Thank you." Ping turned around with one finger, and was about to go ashore, when he suddenly turned around and said, "There are still two in the bottle, so I might as well give them to you." Linghu Chong didn't take it, and said: " The senior cherishes it so much, this pill has its own miraculous effect, it is better to keep it to save people. The junior live ten or eight days longer, it is of no benefit to others or himself." Ping glanced at Linghu Chong again for a while with one finger, and said, "It's true that life and death are a real thing. No wonder, no wonder! Oh, what a pity, what a pity! Ashamed, ashamed!" Shaking his big head a few times, he jumped ashore, and quickly walk away. He came and went as soon as he said, and he actually treated Yue Buqun, the head of Huashan School, as nothing.
Yue Buqun was very angry, but there were still five deadly plague gods sitting in the cabin, it would take a lot of effort to get rid of them.I saw the five immortals sitting motionless, watching their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, just like an old monk in meditation.If the boatman is ordered to sail, the five gods of plague will be taken away. If the boat is not sailed, one does not know how long the five of them will sit, and one does not know whether they will violently injure others in order to repay Madam Yue for stabbing Tao Shixian with a sword. hatred? Lao Denuo, Yue Lingshan and the others had all seen them torn apart in such a fierce manner that they were not worried. At this moment, they still had lingering fears, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to look at the five of them. Linghu Chong turned back and walked into the cabin, saying: "Hey, what are you doing here?" Tao Genxian said: "Sit obediently and do nothing." Gan Xiandao: "Ping Yizhi told us to sit obediently in the cabin and not talk or move, otherwise we would have to kill our brothers. So we sat obediently and did not dare to talk or move." Linghu Chong endured He couldn't help laughing, and said: "Doctor Ping has already gone ashore, you can talk and move around!" Peach Blossom Immortal shook his head and said: "No, no! If he sees us talking and moving around, it will be a big problem. " Suddenly I heard a hissing voice on the bank shouting: "Where are the five things that don't look like people, and ghosts don't look like ghosts?" Taogenxian said: "He is calling us." Taoganxian said: "Why are you calling us? How can we be human beings and ghosts not ghosts?" The man shouted again: "Here is another person who does not look like a ghost." People, ghosts don't look like ghosts, Doctor Ping just healed his wounds, do you want it? If not, I'll throw it into the Yellow River to feed the bastard." When the Five Immortals of Peach Valley heard this, with a whoosh, the five of them jumped out of the cabin side by side and stood on the shore.The middle-aged woman who helped Ping had a stitch on her finger was standing upright, with her left hand outstretched, carrying a stretcher, on which Tao Shixian was lying.This woman had a sick face, but she was really strong, she was carrying a hundred catties of Peach Shixian and a wooden stretcher in one hand, and she didn't take it seriously. Tao Genxian hurriedly said: "Of course, why not?" Tao Ganxian said: "Why do you say that we are not like humans, and ghosts are not like ghosts?" Tao Shixian lay on the stretcher and said: "Look at your appearance, you are even less human than us, and ghosts are not like ghosts." He slapped the door, injected his true energy, and immediately got up to walk, but after all, he lost too much blood, and after walking for a while, he fainted again, and the middle-aged woman carried him away.Although he was seriously injured, he still refused to let others talk, and couldn't help but contradict the woman. 那妇人冷冷的道:“你们可知平大夫生平最怕的是甚么?”桃谷六仙齐道:“不知道,他怕甚么?”那妇人道:“他最怕老婆!”桃谷六仙哈哈大笑,齐声道:“他这么一个天不怕、地不怕的人,居然怕老婆,哈哈,可笑啊可笑!”那妇人冷冷的道:“有甚么好笑?我就是他老婆!”桃谷六仙立时不作一声。那妇人道:“我有甚么吩咐,他不敢不听。我要杀甚么人,他便会叫你们去杀。”桃谷六仙齐道:“是,是!不知平夫人要杀甚么人?” 那妇人的眼光向船舱中射去,从岳不群看到岳夫人,又从岳夫人看到岳灵珊,逐一瞧向华山派群弟子,每个人都给她看得心中发毛,各人都知道,只要这个形容丑陋、全无血色的妇人向谁一指,桃谷五仙立时便会将这人撕了,纵是岳不群这样的高手,只怕也难逃毒手。 那妇人的眼光慢慢收了回来,又转向桃谷六仙脸上瞧去,六兄弟也是心中怦怦乱跳。那妇人“哈”的一声,桃谷六仙齐道:“是,是!”那妇人又“哼”的一声,桃谷六仙又一齐应道:“是,是!” 那妇人道:“此刻我还没想到要杀之人。不过平大夫说道,这船中有一位令狐冲令狐公子,是他十分敬重的。你们须得好好服侍他,直到他死为止。他说甚么,你们便听甚么,不得有违。”桃谷六仙皱眉道:“服侍到他死为止?”平夫人道:“不错,服侍他到死为止。不过他已不过百日之命,在这一百天中,你们须得事事听他吩咐。” 桃谷六仙听说令狐冲已不过再活一百日,登时都高兴起来,都道:“服侍他一百天,倒也不是难事。” 令狐冲道:“平前辈一番美意,晚辈感激不尽。只是晚辈不敢劳动桃谷六仙照顾,便请他们上岸,晚辈这可要告辞了。” 平夫人脸上冷冰冰的没半点喜怒之色,说道:“平大夫言道,令狐公子的内伤,是这六个混蛋害的,不但送了令狐公子一条性命,而且使得平大夫无法医治,大失面子,不能向嘱托他的人交代,非重重责罚这六个混蛋不可。平大夫本来要他们依据誓言,杀死自己一个兄弟,现下从宽处罚,要他们服侍令狐公子。”她顿了一顿,又道:“这六个混蛋倘若不听令狐公子的话,平大夫知道了,立即取他六人中一人的性命。” 桃花仙道:“令狐兄的伤既是由我们而起,我们服侍他一下,何足道哉,这叫做大丈夫恩怨分明。”桃枝仙道:“男儿汉为朋友双胁插刀,尚且不辞,何况照料一下他的伤势?”桃实仙道:“我的伤势本来需人照料,我照料他,他照料我,有来有往,大家便宜。”桃干仙道:“何况只服侍一百日,时日甚是有限。”桃根仙一拍大腿,说道:“古人听得朋友有难,千里赴义,我六兄弟路见不平,拔刀相助……”平夫人白了白眼,径自去了。 桃枝仙和桃干仙抬了担架,跃入船中。桃根仙等跟着跃入,叫道:“开船,开船!” 令狐冲见其势无论如何不能拒却他六人同行,便道:“六位桃兄,你们要随我同行,那也未始不可,但对我师父师母,必须恭敬有礼,这是我第一句吩咐。你们倘若不听,我便不要你们服侍了。”桃叶仙道:“桃谷六仙本来便是彬彬君子,天下知名,别说是你的师父师母,就算是你的徒子徒孙,我们也一般的礼敬有加。” 令狐冲听他居然自称是“彬彬君子”,忍不住好笑,向岳不群道:“师父,这六个桃兄想乘咱们坐船东行,师父意下如何?” 岳不群心想,这六人目前已不致向华山派为难,虽然同处一舟,不免是心腹之患,但瞧情形也无法将他们赶走,好在这六人武功虽强,为人却是疯疯癫癫,若以智取,未始不能对付,便点头道:“好,他们要乘船,那也不妨,只是我生性爱静,不喜听他们争辩不休。” 桃干仙道:“岳先生此言错矣,人生在世,干甚么有一张嘴巴?这张嘴除了吃饭之外,是还须说话的。又干甚么有两只耳朵,那自是听人说话之用。你如生性爱静,便辜负了老天爷造你一张嘴巴、两只耳朵的美意。” 岳不群知道只须和他一接上口,他五兄弟的五张嘴巴一齐加入,不知要嘈到甚么地步,打架固然打他们不过,辩论也辩他们不赢,当即微微一笑,说道:“船家,开船!” 桃叶仙道:“岳先生,你要船家开船,便须张口出声,倘若当真生性爱静,该当打手势叫他开船才是。”桃干仙道:“船家在后梢,岳先生在中舱,他打手势,船家看不见,那也枉然。”桃根仙道:“他难道不能到后梢去打手势么?”桃花仙道:“倘若船家不懂他的手势,将'开船'误作'翻船',岂不糟糕?” 桃谷六仙争辩声中,船家已拔锚开船。 岳不群夫妇不约而同的向令狐冲望了一眼,向桃谷六仙瞧了一眼,又互相你瞧我,我瞧你,心中所想的是同一件事:“平一指说受人之托来给冲儿治病,从他话中听来,那个托他之人在武林中地位甚高,以致他虽将华山派掌门人没瞧在眼里,对华山派的一个弟子却偏偏十分客气。到底是谁托了他给冲儿治病?他骂不戒和尚为'他妈的老混蛋',自然不会是受了不戒和尚之托。”若在往日,他夫妇早就将令狐冲叫了过来,细问端详,但此刻师徒间不知不觉已生出许多隔阂,二人均知还不是向令狐冲探问的时候。 岳夫人想到江湖上第一名医平一指也治不了令狐冲的伤,说他已只有百日之命,心下难过,禁不住掉下泪来。
顺风顺水,舟行甚速,这晚停泊处离兰封已不甚远。船家做了饭菜,各人正要就食,忽听得岸上有人朗声说道:“借问一声,华山派诸位英雄,是乘这艘船的么?” 岳不群还未答话,桃枝仙已抢着说道:“桃谷六仙和华山派的诸位英雄好汉都在船上,有甚么事?” 那人欢然道:“这就好了,我们在这里已等了一日一夜。快,快,拿过来。” 十多名大汉分成两行,从岸旁的一个茅棚中走出,每人手中都捧了一只朱漆匣子。一个空手的蓝衫汉子走到船前,躬身说道:“敝上得悉令狐少侠身子欠安,甚是挂念,本当亲来探候,只是实在来不及赶回,飞鸽传书,特命小人奉上一些菲礼,请令狐少侠赏收。”一众大汉走上船头,将十余只匣子放在船上。 令狐冲奇道:“贵上不知是哪一位?如此厚赐,令狐冲愧不敢当。”那汉子道:“令狐少侠福泽深厚,定可早日康复,还请多多保重。”说着躬身行礼,率领一众大汉径自去了。 令狐冲道:“也不知是谁给我送礼,可真希奇古怪。” 桃谷五仙早就忍耐不住,齐声道:“先打开瞧瞧。”五人七手八脚,将一只只朱漆匣子的匣盖揭开,只见有的匣中装满了精致点心,有的是熏鸡火腿之类的下酒物,更有人参、鹿茸、燕窝、银耳一类珍贵滋补的药材。最后两盒却装满了小小的金锭银锭,显是以备令狐冲路上花用,说是“菲礼”,为数可着实不菲。 桃谷五仙见到糖果蜜饯,水果点心,便抓起来塞入口中,大叫:“好吃,好吃!” 令狐冲翻遍了几十只匣子,既无信件名刺,亦无花纹表记,到底送礼之人是谁,实无半分线索可寻,向岳不群道:“师父,这件事弟子可真摸不着半点头脑。这送礼之人既不像是有恶意,也不似是开玩笑。”说着捧了点心,先敬师父师娘,再分给众师弟师妹。 岳不群见桃谷六仙吃了食物,一无异状,瞧模样这些食物也不似下了毒药,问令狐冲道:“你有江湖上的朋友是住在这一带的么?”令狐冲沉吟半晌,摇头道:“没有。” 只听得马蹄声响,八乘马沿河驰来,有人叫道:“华山派令狐少侠是在这里么?” 桃谷六仙欢然大叫:“在这里,在这里!有甚么好东西送来?” 那人叫道:“敝帮帮主得知令狐少侠来到兰封,又听说令狐少侠喜欢喝上几杯,命小人物色到十六坛陈年美酒,专程赶来,请令狐少侠船中饮用。”八乘马奔到近处,果见每一匹马的鞍上都挂着两坛酒。酒坛上有的写着“极品贡酒”,有的写着“三锅良汾”,更有的写着“绍兴状元红”,十六坛酒竟似各不相同。 令狐冲见了这许多美酒,那比送甚么给他都欢喜,忙走上船头,拱手说道:“恕在下眼拙,不知贵帮是哪一帮?兄台尊姓大名?” 那汉子笑道:“敝帮帮主再三嘱咐,不得向令狐少侠提及敝帮之名。他老人家言道,这一点小小礼物,实在太过菲薄,再提出敝帮的名字来,实在不好意思。”他左手一挥,马上乘客便将一坛坛美酒搬了下来,放上船头。 岳不群在船舱中凝神看这八名汉子,只见个个身手矫捷,一手提一只酒坛,轻轻一跃,便上了船头,这八人都没甚么了不起的武功,但显然八人并非同一门派,看来同是一帮的帮众,倒是不假。八人将十六坛酒送上船头后,躬身向令狐冲行礼,便即上马而去。 令狐冲笑道:“师父,这件事可真奇怪了,不知是谁跟弟子开这个玩笑,送了这许多坛酒来。”岳不群沉吟道:“莫非是田伯光?又莫非是不戒和尚?”令狐冲道:“不错,这两人行事古里古怪,或许是他们也未可知。喂!桃谷六仙,有大批好酒在此,你们喝不喝?” 桃谷六仙笑道:“喝啊!喝啊!岂有不喝之理?”桃根仙、桃干仙二人捧起两坛酒来,拍去泥封,倒在碗中,果然香气扑鼻。六人也不和令狐冲客气,便即骨嘟嘟的喝酒。 令狐冲也去倒了一碗,捧在岳不群面前,道:“师父,你请尝尝,这酒着实不错。”岳不群微微皱眉,“嗯”的一声。劳德诺道:“师父,防人之心不可无。这酒不知是谁送来,焉知酒中没有古怪。”岳不群点点头,道:“冲儿,还是小心些儿的好。” 令狐冲一闻到醇美的酒香,哪里还忍耐得住,笑道:“弟子已命不久长,这酒中有毒无毒,也没多大分别。”双手捧碗,几口喝了个干净,赞道:“好酒,好酒!”
只听得岸上也有人大声赞道:“好酒,好酒!”令狐冲举目往声音来处望去,只见柳树下有个衣衫褴褛的落魄书生,右手摇着一柄破扇,仰头用力嗅着从船上飘去的酒香,说道:“果然是好酒!” 令狐冲笑道:“这位兄台,你并没品尝,怎知此酒美恶?”那书生道:“你一闻酒气,便该知道这是藏了六十二年的三锅头汾酒,岂有不好之理?” 令狐冲自得绿竹翁悉心指点,于酒道上的学问已着实不凡,早知这是六十年左右的三锅头汾酒,但要辨出不多不少恰好是六十二年,却所难能,料想这书生多半是夸张其辞,笑道:“兄台若是不嫌,便请过来喝几杯如何?” 那书生摇头晃脑的道:“你我素不相识,萍水相逢,一闻酒香,已是干扰,如何再敢叨兄美酒,那是万万不可,万万不可。”令狐冲笑道:“四海之内,皆兄弟也。闻兄之言,知是酒国前辈,在下正要请教,便请下舟,不必客气。” 那书生慢慢踱将过来,深深一揖,说道:“晚生姓祖,祖宗之祖。当年祖逖闻鸡起舞,那便是晚生的远祖了。晚生双名千秋,千秋者,百岁千秋之意。不敢请教兄台尊姓大名。”令狐冲道:“在下复姓令狐,单名一个冲字。”那祖千秋道:“姓得好,姓得好,这名字也好!”一面说,一面从跳板走向船头。 令狐冲微微一笑,心想:“我请你喝酒,便甚么都好了。”当即斟了一碗酒,递给祖千秋,道:“请喝酒!”只见他五十来岁年纪,焦黄面皮,一个酒糟鼻,双眼无神,疏疏落落的几根胡子,衣襟上一片油光,两只手伸了出来,十根手指甲中都是黑黑的污泥。他身材瘦削,却挺着个大肚子。 祖千秋见令狐冲递过酒碗,却不便接,说道:“令狐兄虽有好酒,却无好器皿,可惜啊可惜。”令狐冲道:“旅途之中,只有些粗碗粗盏,祖先生将就着喝些。”祖千秋摇头道:“万万不可,万万不可。你对酒具如此马虎,于饮酒之道,显是未明其中三味。饮酒须得讲究酒具,喝甚么酒,便用甚么酒杯。喝汾酒当用玉杯,唐人有诗云:'玉碗盛来琥珀光。'可见玉碗玉杯,能增酒色。”令狐冲道:“正是。” 祖千秋指着一坛酒,说道:“这一坛关外白酒,酒味是极好的,只可惜少了一股芳冽之气,最好是用犀角杯盛之而饮,那就醇美无比,须知玉杯增酒之色,犀角杯增酒之香,古人诚不我欺。” 令狐冲在洛阳听绿竹翁谈论讲解,于天下美酒的来历、气味、酿酒之道、窖藏之法,已十知八九,但对酒具一道却一窍不通,此刻听得祖千秋侃侃而谈,大有茅塞顿开之感。 只听他又道:“至于饮葡萄酒嘛,当然要用夜光杯了。古人诗云:'葡萄美酒夜光杯,欲饮琵琶马上催。'要知葡萄美酒作艳红之色,我辈须眉男儿饮之,未免豪气不足。葡萄美酒盛入夜光杯之后,酒色便与鲜血一般无异,饮酒有如饮血。岳武穆词云:'壮志饥餐胡虏肉,笑谈渴饮匈奴血',岂不壮哉!” 令狐冲连连点头,他读书甚少,听得祖千秋引证诗词,于文义不甚了了,只是“笑谈渴饮匈奴血”一句,确是豪气干云,令人胸怀大畅。 祖千秋指着一坛酒道:“至于这高粱美酒,乃是最古之酒。夏禹时仪狄作酒,禹饮而甘之,那便是高粱酒了。令狐兄,世人眼光短浅,只道大禹治水,造福后世,殊不知治水甚么的,那也罢了,大禹真正的大功,你可知道么?” 令狐冲和桃谷六仙齐声道:“造酒!”祖千秋道:“正是!”八人一齐大笑。 祖千秋又道:“饮这高粱酒,须用青铜酒爵,始有古意。至于那米酒呢,上佳米酒,其味虽美,失之于甘,略稍淡薄,当用大斗饮之,方显气概。” 令狐冲道:“在下草莽之人,不明白这酒浆和酒具之间,竟有这许多讲究。” 祖千秋拍着一只写着“百草美酒”字样的酒坛,说道:“这百草美酒,乃采集百草,浸入美酒,故酒气清香,如行春郊,令人未饮先醉。饮这百草酒须用古藤杯。百年古藤雕而成杯,以饮百草酒则大增芳香之气。”令狐冲道:“百年古藤,倒是很难得的。”祖千秋正色道:“令狐兄言之差矣,百年美酒比之百年古藤,可更为难得。你想,百年古藤,尽可求之于深山野岭,但百年美酒,人人想饮,一饮之后,便没有了。一只古藤杯,就算饮上千次万次,还是好端端的一只古藤杯。”令狐冲道:“正是。在下无知,承先生指教。” 岳不群一直在留神听那祖千秋说话,听他言辞夸张,却又非无理,眼见桃枝仙、桃干仙等捧起了那坛百草美酒,倒得满桌淋漓,全没当是十分珍贵的美酒。岳不群虽不嗜饮,却闻到酒香扑鼻,甚是醇美,情知那确是上佳好酒,桃谷六仙如此糟蹋,未免可惜。 祖千秋又道:“饮这绍兴状元红须用古瓷杯,最好是北宋瓷杯,南宋瓷杯勉强可用,但已有衰败气象,至于元瓷,则不免粗俗了。饮这坛梨花酒呢?那该当用翡翠杯。白乐天杭州春望诗云:'红袖织绫夸柿叶,青旗沽酒趁梨花。'你想,杭州酒家卖这梨花酒,挂的是滴翠也似的青旗,映得那梨花酒分外精神,饮这梨花酒,自然也当是翡翠杯了。饮这玉露酒,当用琉璃杯。玉露酒中有如珠细泡,盛在透明的琉璃杯中而饮,方可见其佳处。” 忽听得一个女子声音说道:“嘟嘟嘟,吹法螺!”说话之人正是岳灵珊,她伸着右手食指,刮自己右颊。岳不群道:“珊儿不可无理,这位祖先生说的,大有道理。”岳灵珊道:“甚么大有道理,喝几杯酒助助兴,那也罢了,成日成晚的喝酒,又有这许多讲究,岂是英雄好汉之所为?” 祖千秋摇头晃脑的道:“这位姑娘,言之差矣。汉高祖刘邦,是不是英雄?当年他若不是大醉之后剑斩白蛇,如何能成汉家几百年基业?樊哙是不是好汉?那日鸿门宴上,樊将军盾上割肉,大斗喝酒,岂非壮士哉?” 令狐冲笑道:“先生既知此是美酒,又说英雄好汉,非酒不欢,却何以不饮?” 祖千秋道:“我早已说过,若无佳器,徒然糟蹋了美酒。” 桃干仙道:“你胡吹大气,说甚么翡翠杯、夜光杯,世上哪有这种酒杯?就算真的有,也不过一两只,又有谁能一起齐备了的?”祖千秋道:“讲究品酒的雅士,当然具备。似你们这等牛饮驴饮,自然甚么粗杯粗碗都能用了。”桃叶仙道:“你是不是雅士?”祖千秋道:“说多不多,说少不少,三分风雅是有的。”桃叶仙哈哈大笑,问道:“那么喝这八种美酒的酒杯,你身上带了几只?”祖千秋道:“说多不多,说少不少,每样一只是有的。” 桃谷六仙齐声叫嚷:“牛皮大王,牛皮大王!” 桃根仙道:“我跟你打个赌,你如身上有这八只酒杯,我一只一只都吃下肚去。你要是没有,那又如何?”祖千秋道:“就罚我将这些酒杯酒碗,也一只只都吃下肚去!” 桃谷六仙齐道:“妙极,妙极!且看他怎生……” 一句话没说完,只见祖千秋伸手入怀,掏了一只酒杯出来,光润柔和,竟是一只羊脂白玉杯。桃谷六仙吃了一惊,便不敢再说下去,只见他一只又一只,不断从怀中取出酒杯,果然是翡翠杯、犀角杯、古藤杯、青铜爵、夜光杯、琉璃杯、古瓷杯无不具备。他取出八只酒杯后,还继续不断取出,金光灿烂的金杯,镂刻精致的银杯,花纹斑斓的石杯,此外更有象牙杯、虎齿杯、牛皮杯、竹筒杯、紫檀杯等等,或大或小,种种不一。 众人只瞧得目瞪口呆,谁也料想不到这穷酸怀中,竟然会藏了这许多酒杯。 祖千秋得意洋洋的向桃根仙道:“怎样?” 桃根仙脸色惨然,道:“我输了,我吃八只酒杯便是。”拿起那只古藤杯,格的一声,咬成两截,将小半截塞入口中,咭咭咯咯的一阵咀嚼,便吞下肚中。 众人见他说吃当真便吃,将半只古藤杯嚼得稀烂,吞下肚去,无不骇然。 桃根仙一伸手,又去拿那只犀角杯,祖千秋左手撩出,去切他脉门。桃根仙右手一沉,反拿他手腕,祖千秋中指弹向他掌心,桃根仙愕然缩手,道:“你不给我吃了?”祖千秋道:“在下服了你啦,我这八只酒杯,就算你都已吃下了肚去便是。你有这股狠劲,我可舍不得了。”众人又都大笑。 岳灵珊初时对桃谷六仙甚是害怕,但相处时刻既久,见他们未露凶悍之气,而行事说话甚为滑稽可亲,便大着胆子向桃根仙道:“喂,这只古藤杯的味道好不好?” 桃根仙舐唇咂舌,嗒嗒有声,说道:“苦极了,有甚么好吃?” 祖千秋皱起了眉头,道:“给你吃了一只古藤杯,可坏了我的大事。唉,没了古藤杯,这百草酒用甚么杯来喝才是?只好用一只木杯来将就将就了。”他从怀中掏出一块手巾,拿起半截给桃根仙咬断的古藤杯抹了一会,又取过檀木杯,里里外外的拭抹不已,只是那块手巾又黑又湿,不抹倒也罢
