Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Snow
I don't know how much time has passed, Linghu Chong gradually felt the cold in his body, slowly opened his eyes, only felt the fire was dazzling, then closed them, and heard Yingying shouting happily: "You...you woke up!"
Linghu Chong opened his eyes again, and saw Yingying's wonderful eyes staring at him, his face was full of joy.Linghu Chong wanted to sit up, but Yingying waved his hands and said, "Lie down and rest for a while." Looking around, Linghu Chong saw that he was in a cave with a big fire burning outside, and only then did he remember that he had been kicked by his master. , asked: "Where are my master and wife?"
Yingying said flatly: "Do you still call him master? There is no such shameless master in the world. You give in blindly, but he doesn't know what to do. Finally, he can't get off the stage and kicks you so cruelly. Shocking He deserved it if he broke his leg bone."
Linghu Chong asked in shock: "My master has a broken leg?" Yingying smiled and said, "Is it polite to not kill him? Daddy said, you don't know how to use the star-absorbing method, otherwise you won't get hurt." Linghu Chong murmured He said: "I stabbed Master and broke his leg bone, really... really..." Yingying said: "Do you regret it?" No. If Master and Mistress hadn’t raised me back then, I might have died long ago, how could I be where I am today? I’m not as good as a beast.”
Yingying said: "He tried to kill you several times. You are so patient, you have repaid your teacher's kindness. A person like you will never die anywhere. Even if the Yue family doesn't support you, you If you are a beggar in the rivers and lakes, you will never die. He drove you out of Huashan, and the relationship between master and apprentice has long been broken, so why do you want him?" At this point, he slowly lowered his voice and said: " Brother Chong, you offended Master and Mistress for me, I...in my heart..." He lowered his head, blushing.
Linghu Chong saw that she showed the shy expression of a child, and the raging fire outside the cave shone on her face, which was so bright and indescribable, he couldn't help but feel agitated, stretched out his hand to hold her left hand, sighed, and didn't know what to say That's good.
Yingying said softly: "Why are you sighing? Do you regret knowing me?" Linghu Chong said: "No, no! How could I regret it? You would rather give up your life in Shaolin Temple for me, and I will be smashed to pieces in the future, and I will pay you back. I can't thank you enough." Yingying stared into his eyes and said, "Why do you say such things? Until now, you still treat me as an outsider in your heart."
Linghu Chong felt ashamed for a while. In his heart, there was always a layer of estrangement from her, and he said, "I made a mistake. From now on, I will treat you wholeheartedly." As soon as these words came out, he couldn't help thinking : "Where's little junior sister? Little junior sister? Have I forgotten little junior sister from now on?"
A gleam of joy flashed in Yingying's eyes, and she said, "Brother Chong, are you telling the truth, or are you coaxing me?"
At this moment, Linghu Chong no longer considered his deep love for Yue Lingshan, and said wholeheartedly: "If I coax you, teach me that the sky is struck by lightning, and I will die a bad death."
Yingying's left hand turned slowly, and also took Linghu Chong's hand. She only felt that this moment was the most rare in her life. Her whole body was warm, but her heart seemed to be floating in the clouds. I hope it will last forever. , forever.After a long time, he said slowly: "We people in the martial arts are probably doomed to die badly. If you betray me in the future, I don't expect you to be struck by lightning. I... I... I would rather kill you with my own hands." The sword stabbed you to death."
Linghu Chong's heart was shocked. He never expected that she would say this sentence. He was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "My life was saved by you, and it has belonged to you long ago. Whenever you want to take it, come at any time." Just take it." Yingying smiled slightly, and said: "People say you are a frivolous prodigal, and you really speak in such a glib and unserious manner. I don't know what the fate is, but I just... just like you, who is frivolous. Prodigal son." Linghu Chong said with a smile: "When have I ever treated you lightly? If you say that about me, I'm going to treat you lightly." He said and sat up.
Yingying raised her feet a few feet, and said with a calm face, "I'm good to you in my heart, and we must behave properly. If you think I'm a watery woman and you can bully me casually, then you've misjudged the person."
Linghu Chong said solemnly: "How dare I treat you as a watery woman? You are a respectable old mother-in-law who forbids me to look back."
Yingying laughed, remembering that when she first met Linghu Chong, he always called herself "mother-in-law", with an extremely respectful expression, she couldn't help but smile like a flower, and sat down, but there were three or four feet away from Linghu Chong.
Linghu Chong smiled and said: "You don't allow me to treat you lightly, from now on I will always call you mother-in-law." Yingying smiled and said: "Okay, good grandson." Linghu Chong said: "Mother-in-law, I have something in my heart..." Yingying said "Don't call me mother-in-law. After sixty years, it's not too late to call you." Linghu Chong said, "If I call you now, I can keep calling you for sixty years, and my life will be worth it."
Yingying's heart fluttered and she thought: "If you really want to be able to stay with him for sixty years, even the gods in the sky are not as good."
Linghu Chong saw her profile, nose slightly raised, long eyelashes drooping, delicate face, soft complexion, and thought: "Such a beautiful girl, why do thousands of unruly tyrants in the rivers and lakes respect her so much?" Are you afraid, and willing to go through fire and water for her?" He wanted to ask, but felt that saying such words at this time would spoil the scenery, so he hesitated to speak.
Yingying said: "Whatever you want to say, just say it." Linghu Chong said: "I have always wondered why the old man and Zu Qianqiu are so afraid of you." Yingying smiled sweetly and said: "I I know that if you don't ask and understand this matter, you will always be worried. I'm afraid that in your heart, you will always think of me as a monster." Linghu Chong said: "No, no, I think you are a living god with great powers."
Yingying smiled and said: "You can talk nonsense if you can't speak three sentences. In fact, you may not be really frivolous, but you are so smooth-tongued that people say you are a prodigal son." Linghu Chong said: " When I called you mother-in-law, did you ever talk glibly?" Yingying said: "Then you can call me mother-in-law for the rest of your life." Linghu Chong said: "I will call you mother-in-law for the rest of your life, but not mother-in-law."
A red cloud floated on Yingying's face, her heart was very sweet, and she said in a low voice: "I just hope that what you said is not glib." Linghu Chong said: "You are afraid that I will be glib, and you will cook for me for the rest of your life. Lard and soybean oil." Yingying smiled and said, "I don't know how to cook, even the roasted frogs were burnt."
Linghu Chong recalled that day when the two of them were roasting frogs by the stream in the wilderness, and felt that at this moment, they had returned to the scene of that day, and his heart was full of lingering thoughts.
Yingying said in a low voice: "As long as you are not afraid of the burnt rice I cook, I will cook rice for you for the rest of your life." Linghu Chong said: "As long as it is cooked by you, I will eat three bowls of burnt rice every day, so why not? "Yingying said softly: "You like to joke, even if you say it well. In fact, you make me happy when you talk, and I am very happy."
The two looked at each other and were speechless for a while.After a while, Yingying slowly said: "My father was the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, you already knew that. Later, Uncle Dongfang... no, Dongfang Bubai, I always called him Uncle, but I'm used to it." Yes, he used tricks to imprison Daddy and deceive everyone, saying that Daddy passed away outside and that he was ordered to take over as the leader. I was young at the time, and Dongfang Bubai was clever and cunning. I did this without revealing any flaws. There was no doubt at all. Dongfang Bubai treated me unusually well and politely in order to deceive others. No matter what I said, he never rejected it once. Therefore, my status in the religion is very honorable." Linghu Chong said: "Those Jiang Hu The high-ranking guests are all subordinates of the Sun Moon God Sect?" Yingying said: "They are not considered formal followers, but they have always belonged to my sect, and most of their leaders have served the 'Three Corpse Brain Gods' taught by me. Dan'."
Linghu Chong snorted.That day when he was in Gushan Meizhuang, he saw the elders of the Demon Cult, Bao Dachu, Qin Weibang and others, when they saw Ren Woxing's fiery red "Three Corpse Brain Pills", they were frightened out of their wits. Thinking of the scene that day, they couldn't help but frown wrinkle.
Yingying continued: "After taking this 'Three Corpse Brain God Pill', you have to take the antidote once a year, otherwise the toxicity will attack and you will die a miserable death. Dongfang Bubai is very strict with those powerful people. Withholding the antidote and not releasing it, I always go to intercede every time, and I get the antidote and give them the antidote." Linghu Chong said: "Then you are their lifesaver."
Yingying said: "It's not a benefactor either. They came to me to kowtow and beg, but I couldn't harden my heart and ignore it. It turns out that this is also Dongfang Bubai's strategy to hide people's eyes and ears. He wants everyone to know that he loves and respects me very much. In this way As a result, naturally no one doubts that his position as leader was usurped."
Linghu Chong nodded and said: "This person is really scheming." Yingying said: "But it's too annoying to always ask me to plead with Dongfang Bubai. Besides, the situation in the church is quite different from before. Everyone When I saw Dongfang Bubai, I would be full of flattery, it was extremely disgusting. In the spring of the year before last, I asked my nephew Lvzhuweng to accompany me, and I went out to visit the mountains and rivers, so that I could avoid the nosy things in the discipline, and I didn't have to say those shameless words to Dongfang Bubai Unexpectedly, I bumped into you." She glanced at Linghu Chong, recalled the scene of her first encounter in Green Bamboo Lane, and sighed softly, her heart filled with tenderness.After a while, he said: "Of course not all the thousands of guests who came to Shaolin Temple have taken the antidote I asked for. But as long as there is one person who has received my favor, his relatives, friends, disciples, and subordinates The helpers and others, of course, have accepted my affection. Besides, they may not have really come to Mount Shaoshi for me, but most of them are at the call of Hero Linghu, so they dare not not come." Having said that, He pursed his lips and smiled.
Linghu Chong sighed: "It's no good for you to follow me. This smooth-talking ability has also improved by three points."
Yingying snorted and laughed.As soon as she was born, everyone in the Sun Moon God Sect treated her like a princess, no one dared to disobey her in the slightest, the older she stayed, the more bossy she was, and she could do whatever she wanted, no one dared to tell her a joke.At this moment, they are laughing and joking with Linghu Chong so much, they have never had such fun in their life.
After a while, Yingying turned her head to the mountain wall, and said: "You led the people to Shaolin Temple to pick me up, I naturally like it. Those people are talkative and gossip, they always talk about me behind their backs...say I treat you well, but you are a The vagabond, showing mercy everywhere, doesn't take me to heart at all..." Having said this, his voice gradually lowered, and he said faintly: "You have finally given me enough face by making such a big mess. ...Even if I die, I will not be in vain for this false name."
Linghu Chong said: "You sent me to the Shaolin Temple to seek medical treatment. I didn't know it at the time. Later, you were imprisoned under the West Lake. After you got out of trouble, you encountered the Hengshan Sect. After finally finding out the reason, come again." Picking you up, I'm already tired and you've suffered a lot."
Yingying said: "I didn't suffer much in the mountain behind Shaolin Temple. I lived alone in a stone house. Every ten days, an old monk would send me firewood and rice. Other than that, I had never seen anyone else. .Until the two masters Dingxian and Dingyi came to Shaolin, and the abbot asked me to meet, I realized that he didn’t teach you the Yijinjing. The mistress advised me not to worry, saying that you are safe and sound, and that you begged her two mistresses to intercede with the abbot of Shaolin."
Linghu Chong said: "You heard her say that, so you don't scold Master Abbot anymore?"
Yingying said: "When the abbot of Shaolin Temple heard me scolding him, he just smiled and didn't get angry, and said: "Female benefactor, the old monk wants Linghu Shaoxia to belong to the Shaolin sect, he is my disciple, and the old monk can change the tendons of this sect. The inner strength was taught to help him get rid of the alien qi in his body, but he firmly refused, and the old man could not help him. Besides, you carried him up the mountain... that day when he went up the mountain, he was dying. But he has been able to walk as usual, and Shaolin Temple has always done a little bit of work to him.' I think this is also reasonable, so I said: 'Then why did you keep me in the mountain? Monks don't tell lies, isn't that a lie?'"
Linghu Chong said: "Yes, they shouldn't have kept it from you." Yingying said: "This old monk has a lot of truth in what he said. He said he wanted to keep me in Shaoshi Mountain because he hoped to use Buddhism to remove some violent spirit from me. , It's really nonsense." Linghu Chong said: "Yes, what kind of violence do you have?" Yingying said: "You don't have to say nice things to please me. Of course I have violence, not only do I have it, but also Quite a lot. But don't worry, I won't attack you." Linghu Chong said: "Thank you for seeing it differently."
Yingying said: "At that time I said to the old monk: 'You are so old, you are not afraid of being ugly when you bully our young ones. Life. Although we didn't cure Young Hero Linghu, we didn't take your life either. I heard from the two masters of the Hengshan School that Young Hero Linghu has done a lot of chivalrous deeds in the Jianghu recently. Rejoice on his behalf. For the golden faces of the two masters of Hengshan, you go down the mountain now.' He also promised to release more than a hundred of my friends from the rivers and lakes. I appreciate his affection and bow to him a few times. So, Hengshan sent two masters and I came down the mountain. Later, at the foot of the mountain, we met a man called Tian Boguang, who was walking alone in thousands of miles, and said that you had led thousands of people to Shaolin Temple to pick me up. The two masters said: Shaolin Temple has It's hard, they can't stand still. So they broke up with me and asked me to stop you. Unexpectedly, two kind-hearted seniors will die in Shaolin Temple." He said with a long sigh.
Linghu Chong sighed: "I don't know who did it. The two mistresses have no injuries on their bodies, and they don't even know how they died."
Yingying said: "Why are there no scars? My father, Uncle Xiang and I saw the corpses of the two masters in the temple. I unbuttoned their clothes and checked, and saw a red spot the size of a pinhole on both of their hearts. People were stabbed to death with steel needles."
With an "ah", Linghu Chong jumped up and said, "Poison needles? Among the martial arts, who uses poison needles?"
Yingying shook her head and said: "Daddy and Uncle Xiang have a lot of knowledge, but they don't know. Daddy said that this needle is not a poisonous needle, it is actually a weapon. It stabs at the vital point and kills a person. It just pierces into the heart of Master Dingxian. That needle was slightly deflected." Linghu Chong said: "That's right. When I saw Mrs. Dingxian, she was still breathing. Since the needle was inserted carefully, it was not a conspiracy, but a direct confrontation. Then The one who killed the two masters must be a master of martial arts." Yingying said: "My father also said the same. With this clue, it is not difficult to find the murderer."
Linghu Chong stretched out his palm and slapped hard on the cave wall, and said loudly: "Yingying, I will avenge my two masters in my lifetime." Yingying said: "Exactly."
Linghu Chong supported the stone wall and sat up, but felt that his limbs moved as usual, his chest didn't hurt, he seemed to have never been injured, and said: "This is strange, my master kicked my leg, it seems that I didn't hurt me at all. "
Yingying said: "My father said, you have absorbed a lot of other people's internal energy, and your internal energy is far higher than your master's. It was only because you refused to fight your master with your strength that you were injured, but you have deep internal energy to protect your body. Very light. Uncle Xiang massaged you a few times to stimulate your own internal strength to heal your wounds, and you will be fine soon. It's just that your master's leg bones are actually broken, which is very strange. Dad thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. Linghu Chong said: "Since my internal energy is strong, why is it strange that Master's kick kicked my internal energy and caused the old man to break his leg?" Although it can protect the body, it must be used by oneself before it can hurt people, compared to the internal strength cultivated by oneself, it is still inferior after all."
Linghu Chong said: "So that's the case." He didn't quite understand the reason, so he didn't think about it too much, but he thought that he caused his master to be injured, and he lost face in front of all the masters in the world.
For a while, the two were relatively silent, and occasionally heard the slight crackling sound of firewood burning outside the cave, but saw heavy snow falling outside the cave, which was even heavier than when they were on Shaoshi Mountain.
Suddenly, Linghu Chong heard a few heavy breathing sounds outside the cave, and immediately listened attentively. Yingying's internal strength was not as good as him, so she didn't hear the sound. Seeing his expression, he asked: "What did you hear?" Linghu Chong said "Just now I heard a panting sound, someone is coming. But the panting is rapid, that person's martial arts is low, so it's nothing to worry about." Then asked: "Where's your father?" Yingying said: "Daddy told Uncle Xiang to go for a stroll." When she said this, she blushed, knowing that her father deliberately avoided it, so that Linghu Chong could talk about his divorce with her after he woke up. Linghu Chong heard a few more gasps, and said: "Let's go out and have a look." The two walked out of the cave, and saw that the footprints of Xiang and Ren in the snow had been half covered by fresh snow.Linghu Chong pointed to the two lines of footprints and said, "The sound of panting is coming from there." The two of them walked more than ten zhang along the footsteps, turned around the mountain depression, and suddenly saw the snow field, Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian stood side by side, but they didn't move.The two were taken aback and rushed over at the same time. Yingying shouted: "Father!" Stretching out her hand to pull Ren Woxing's left hand, the moment it touched her father's skin, her whole body shook, and she felt a chill that penetrated to the marrow of his bone, and she was shocked. Called: "Father, you...how are you..." Before he could finish his sentence, his whole body was trembling, his teeth were rattling, but he knew in his heart that after his father was struck by Zuo Lengchan's "Ice True Qi", She had been suppressing herself all the time, but at this moment she finally couldn't suppress it, the cold burst out, and Xiang Wentian was trying her best to help her father resist.Ren Woxing briefly told her about how Zuo Lengchan used tricks to seal up the acupoints in Shaolin Temple after he went down the mountain. But Linghu Chong didn't understand yet, under Bai Xue's reflection, he saw that Ren Xiang and the two had serious expressions on their faces, followed by Ren Woxing and took a few deep breaths, only then did he realize that the panting sound just heard was from him.But seeing Yingying's body trembling, he immediately reached out to hold her left hand, and immediately felt a burst of cold air penetrate into his body.He suddenly realized that he had caught the enemy's yin and cold internal energy and was exuding it with all his strength, so he slowly dissipated the cold energy that had penetrated into his body according to the San Gong engraved on the iron plate at the bottom of the West Lake. Let me get his help, my heart suddenly felt relieved, Xiang Wentian and Yingying's internal energy is not the same as what he has learned, they can only help him resist the cold, but they cannot dissipate it.He did his best to prevent his whole body from freezing into ice, and he no longer had the energy to radiate the cold air. After persisting for a long time, he felt more and more strenuous.Linghu Chong's method of improving his kung fu was to pull out the bottom of the pot, pulling out the "Ice True Qi" from his body bit by bit, and scattered it outside. The four stood in the snow hand in hand, as if they were stiff.Heavy snow fell on the heads and faces of the four people one after another, gradually covering their hair, eyes, nose, and clothes. As Linghu Chong practiced his kung fu, he wondered in his heart: "How come the snow doesn't melt when it falls on your face?" He didn't know that the "Ice True Qi" practiced by Zuo Lengchan was extremely powerful, the cold air emitted by him was far colder than ice and snow.At this time, only the blood in the four of them can keep warm, the skin is as cold as ice, the snowflakes fall on the body, but it does not melt at all, and it accumulates faster than if it falls on the ground. After a long, long time, the sky is getting brighter, but the heavy snow is still falling.Linghu Chong was worried that Yingying's delicate girl was weak and couldn't bear the long-term invasion of the cold air, but the cold poison in Ren Woxing's body had not been exhausted, although the sound of panting was no longer heard, he didn't know if he could give up at this time, whether after giving up Otherwise he changed.He couldn't make up his mind, so he had to continue to help him do exercises. Fortunately, he could feel from Yingying's palm that although her skin was cold, her body was no longer trembling, and he could feel her pulse beating slightly in her palm.At this time, several inches of white snow had already accumulated on his eyes, he could only vaguely feel that the sky was already bright, but he couldn't see anything.Immediately, I can't stop strengthening my exercise skills, I only hope that the cold air in my body will be exhausted for Ren Woxing as soon as possible.
After a long time, suddenly the sound of horseshoes came from far away in the northeast corner, and it was gradually approaching. It could be heard that it was riding in front and behind, followed by a person calling loudly: "Junior Sister, Junior Sister, listen to me." Although Linghu Chong's ears were covered with white snow, he could still hear clearly, it was the voice of his master Yue Buqun.The two riders couldn't stop approaching, and Yue Buqun shouted: "You lose your temper because you don't understand the reason, listen to me." Afterwards, Madam Yue shouted: "I am not happy, shut up!" What's the matter with you? What else is there to say?" Hearing the two people shouting and the sound of the horses running, it was Mrs. Yue on horseback, and Yue Buqun on horseback. Linghu Chong was very surprised: "Ms. Mistress is very angry, I don't know how Master offended her." But hearing Mrs. Yue's horse galloping straight up, she suddenly let out a "Hey" and followed the horse with a long hiss, presumably she reined in the horse suddenly and stopped, and the horse stood up.Not long after, Yue Buqun arrived on horseback, and said: "Junior Sister, you see that these four snowmen look alike, don't you?" Madam Yue snorted, as if she was still angry, she said to herself: " In this wilderness, why did someone build these four snowmen?" Linghu Chong just thought: "What kind of snowman is there in this wilderness?" Then he understood: "The four of us are covered with white snow, so bloated that Master and Mistress regarded us as snowmen." , but this matter is really ridiculous.But there was fear in front of him: "Master, once he finds out that it is the four of us, he will definitely strike one at a time. If he wants to kill us right now, it doesn't take a single effort." Yue Buqun said: "There are no footprints in the snow. These four snowmen have been piled up for several days. Junior sister, look, it seems that three are male and one is female." Mrs. Yue said: "I think so. Almost, what is the difference between men and women?" With a yell, he urged the horse to go.Yue Buqun said: "Junior Sister, you are so impatient! There is no one here, so let's take a long-term view, wouldn't it be good?" Mrs. Yue said, "What is your impatience? I will go back to Huashan. You like to please Zuo Lengchan, you are alone Let's go to Songshan Mountain." Yue Buqun said: "Who said I like to curry favor with Zuo Lengchan? If I don't want to be the head of the Huashan School, why should I bow to the Songshan School?" Mrs. Yue said: "Yes! I just don't understand, why do you Why do you want to bow your head to Zuo Lengchan and listen to his instructions? Although he is the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect, he can't control the affairs of my Huashan Sect. The five sword sects are merged into one. Does the Huashan Sect still have a name in the martial arts world? When Master passed on the head of the Huashan School to you, what did you say?" Yue Buqun said: "Master wants me to promote the Huashan School." Madam Yue said: "Yes. If you agree to Zuo Leng In Zen, the Huashan School has been included in the Songshan Mountain. How can we stand up to the mentor under the spring? As the saying goes, it is better to be the mouth of a chicken than the queen of a cow. Although the Huashan School is small, we can stand on our own and don’t have to rely on others. " Yue Buqun sighed, and said: "Junior Sister, compared with the two masters of Hengshan School, Dingxian and Dingyi, who is superior in martial arts?" Mrs. Yue said: "No comparison, I think they are similar Why do you ask this?" Yue Buqun said: "I think it's similar, these two masters died in Shaolin Temple, it was obviously caused by Zuo Lengchan." Linghu Chong's heart skipped a beat, he already suspected Zuo Lengchan's tricks, otherwise others wouldn't have such good skills.Although the masters of Shaolin and Wudang sects have high martial arts skills, they are all righteous men, and they will never do such harmful activities.The Songshan faction failed to besiege Hengshan Sanni several times, this time it must be Zuo Lengchan himself.Let me perform such formidable martial arts, but still be defeated by Zuo Lengchan, the two masters of Hengshan School are naturally not his enemies. Mrs. Yue said: "It was Zuo Lengchan who did the harm, so what? If you have the evidence, you can invite the heroes of the orthodox religion to question Zuo Lengchan and avenge the two masters." Yue Buqun said. : "Firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, the strength is invincible." Mrs. Yue said: "Why are you invincible? Let's invite Abbot Fangzheng of the Shaolin School and Daoist Chongxu of the Wudang School to uphold justice. How dare Zuo Lengchan do anything?" Yue Buqun said, "Just I'm afraid that Abbot Fangzheng and the others haven't invited us yet, but our husband and wife are already like the two teachers and wives of the Hengshan School." Madam Yue said, "You said that Zuo Lengchan killed both of us? Hmph, since we have established ourselves in the martial arts , so much to worry about? Can someone who is afraid of tigers in the front and wolves in the back still hang around in the rivers and lakes?" Linghu Chong admired secretly: "Although Master is a female generation, she is more heroic than a man." Yue Buqun said: "It's not a pity for the two of us to die, but what good is there? Zuo Lengchan did it secretly, and the two of us died for no reason. In the end, he didn't start the school and create the Five Sacred Mountains school? Maybe He will even fabricate an ugly accusation and put it on us." Madam Yue was silent.Yue Buqun said again: "Once our husband and wife die, all the disciples under the Huashan sect will become the fish and meat of Zuo Lengchan. How can there be any room for resistance? No matter what, we have to think about it for Shan'er." Mrs. Yue snorted, as if she had been moved by her husband, and after a while, she said: "Well, let's not expose Zuo Lengchan's conspiracy for now, and according to your words, we will be polite and perfunctory with him in face, Wait and move." Yue Buqun said: "It's very good if you agree to this. Pingzhi's family's "Evil Resisting Sword Manual" was swallowed up by Linghu Chong again. If he is willing to return it to Pingzhi, my disciples of Huashan Group Why are you afraid of being oppressed by Zuo Lengchan after you learn it? How can our Huashan School be so precarious and difficult to survive?" Mrs. Yue said: "Why do you still suspect that Chong'er's great progress in swordsmanship is due to swallowing up Ping'er's family's "Evil Resisting Sword Manual"? In this battle in Shaolin Temple, Master Fangzheng, Daoist Chongxu and other masters all fought against each other. It is said that his exquisite swordsmanship is from Uncle Feng's true biography. Although Uncle Feng is a sword sect, he is still from our Huashan sect. It is really wrong for Chong'er to associate with demons and evil spirits, but no matter what, we can no longer I wronged him for swallowing the "Sword Manual of Resisting Evil". If you still can't believe the words of Master Fangzheng and Daoist Chongxu, who else in the world can be trusted?" Linghu Chong was extremely grateful when he heard his wife's explanation for him, and couldn't help but wanted to rush out and hug her. Suddenly, his head shook a few times, someone stretched out his hand and slapped his head, thinking: "No, we have seen through our Xingzang. Master Ren's cold poison has not been exhausted yet, Master and Mistress again If you attack me, what should I do?" I only felt that the internal force transmitted from Yingying's hand was shaking violently, and it was expected that Ren Woxing would also be in a state of anxiety.But after a few light pats on the top of the head, there was no more movement. Madam Yue said: "Yesterday you fought with Chong'er and used the four tricks of 'The Prodigal Son Turns Back', 'The Cangsong Welcomes Guests', 'Nongyu Blowing the Xiao', and 'Xiao Shi Riding the Dragon', what does that mean? "Yue Buqun chuckled, and said: "Although this little thief has a bad character, after all, you and I brought him up with our own hands. It's a pity to see him go astray. As long as his prodigal son returns, I will allow him to return to the Huashan family. Madam Yue said: "I understand what I mean. But what about the other two moves?" Yue Buqun said, "You already know it in your heart, so why ask me?" Promised Shan'er to marry him as his wife, didn't you?" Yue Buqun said, "That's right." Mrs. Yue said, "Is it a temporary expedient measure for you to signal to him like this, or do you really mean it?" Yue Buqun remained silent.Linghu Chong felt someone tap on the top of his head again, and immediately understood that Yue Buqun was contemplating while reaching out to pat the snowman's head, not because he had seen through the four of them. I just heard Yue Buqun say: "The man's words are like a mountain, and since I have agreed to him, I have no reason to go back on it." Mrs. Yue said: "He is very obsessed with that demon girl, don't you know?" Yue Buqun said "No, he may be grateful for that witch, but he may not be infatuated with it. The way he treats Shan'er is very different from how he treats that witch. Can't you see it?" Mrs. Yue said: "Of course I can see that too. You said that he still has not forgotten his love for Shan'er?" Yue Buqun said: "Not only has he not forgotten his love, he is... simply lovesick to the bone. Once he understands the purpose of my sword moves, you don't see me. His air of being overjoyed and elated?" Madam Yue said coldly, "Because of this, you are using Shan'er as a bait to lure him into the bait? To lure him to deliberately lose for Shan'er's sake?" you?" Although Linghu Chong's ears were full of snow, he could still hear the anger and sarcasm in Master's wife's words.He had never heard such a tone come out of his wife's mouth.Yue Buqun and his wife have always treated him like a child, they usually talk and have no taboos in front of him.Mrs. Yue has a quick temper, and it is common for her to contradict her husband occasionally when it comes to household chores, but when it comes to discipleship, she has always respected her husband's status as the head of the sect, and will never disobey him.Saying this at this moment shows that she is extremely dissatisfied in her heart. Yue Buqun sighed, and said: "It turns out that even you can't understand my intentions. My own gain or loss is a minor matter, but the success or failure of the Huashan School's success or failure is a major issue. If I can finally persuade Linghu Chong to return to Huashan , That's a great thing." Madam Yue said: "What is four things?" Yue Buqun said: "Linghu Chong's swordsmanship is extremely powerful, far superior to mine. He got it from the evil sword manual. It doesn't matter whether it was taught by Uncle Feng, if he returns to Mount Hua, my Huashan faction will become famous all over the world. This is the second major event. He returned to the sect of the orthodox sect, so that the demon sect not only lost a powerful supporter, but also gained a great enemy. The ups and downs, this is the third Big deal. Junior sister, don’t you think so?” Mrs. Yue said: "Well, what about the fourth case?" Yue Buqun said: "This is the fourth case. My husband and I have no children, and we have always treated Chong'er as our own. He has gone astray, and I am really heartbroken. I'm not young anymore, so what's the name in this world? As long as he can really change his ways and turn to the right, wouldn't it be a great happy event for our family to be reunited and happy?" Hearing this, Linghu Chong couldn't help but feel agitated, "Master! Mistress!" With these two sounds, he almost cried out. Mrs. Yue said: "Shan'er agrees with each other in peace, don't you have the heart to separate the two of them and make Shan'er regret for life?" How is Shan'er? Pingzhi is diligent and well-behaved, what's wrong?" Yue Buqun said: "Although Pingzhi works hard, compared with Linghu Chong, he is far behind him. You can't even chase after him if you flatter him all your life. Come on." Mrs. Yue said: "Is strong martial arts a good husband? I really hope that Chong'er can change his ways and return to the family. But he is a fool, a frivolous, frivolous and good drinker. If Shan'er marries him, he will definitely miss his life." .” Linghu Chong felt ashamed and thought to himself: "Master said that I'm 'frivolous, frivolous, frivolous and good at drinking'. This is indeed an accurate comment. But if I can really marry my junior sister, will I let her down? No, absolutely not. !" Yue Buqun sighed again, and said: "Anyway, I wasted my efforts in vain, this little thief is already deeply addicted, and our words are all in vain. Junior sister, are you still angry with me?" Madam Yue didn't answer, but after a while, she asked: "Does your leg hurt badly?" Yue Buqun said: "It's just a trauma, it doesn't matter. Let's go back to Mount Hua." Madam Yue: "Yes." With a sound.But the sound of Erqi stepping on the snow gradually faded away.
Linghu Chong was in a state of confusion, repeatedly thinking about what his master and wife had said just now, he forgot to practice the kung fu, suddenly a chill came from his palm, he couldn't help shivering cleverly, he felt the chill all over his body, and hurriedly did the kung fu Resisting, he was in a hurry for a while, and suddenly felt that his inner breath was blocked by his left shoulder, unable to pass through, so he hurriedly raised his qi movement.However, he practiced this "star-absorbing Dafa" only according to the key points engraved on the iron plate, and he learned it without a teacher. He didn't get the guidance of a master for all kinds of subtle and profound things. First, the left arm gradually became stiff, followed by the numbness along the meridians to the left flank and left waist, and then down, the whole left leg was also numb. Linghu Chong opened his mouth in panic, but found that his lips had also Can't move. At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes, and two more horses galloped closer.Someone said: "The hoofprints here are messy, and my father and mother stayed here." It was Yue Lingshan's voice.Linghu Chong was both surprised and delighted: "Why is little junior sister here?" Another person said: "Master has a leg injury, don't make any trouble, let's chase after the hoofprints." It was Lin Pingzhi's. sound.Linghu Chong thought to himself: "That's right, the hoof prints are clear in the snow. Junior Sister and Junior Brother Lin searched for Master and Mistress, and they came all the way." Yue Lingshan suddenly called out: "Xiao Linzi, look at how fun these four snowmen are, standing in a row hand in hand." Lin Pingzhi said: "There seems to be no one around here, why is someone here to play with making snowmen?" Yue Lingshan笑道：“咱们也堆两个雪人玩玩好不好？”林平之道：“好啊，堆一个男的，一个女的，也要手拉手的。”岳灵珊翻身下马，捧起雪来便要堆砌。 林平之道：“咱们还是先去找寻师父、师娘要紧。找到他二位之后，慢慢再堆雪人玩不迟。”岳灵珊道：“你便是扫人家的兴。爹爹腿上虽然受伤，骑在马上便和不伤一般无异，有妈妈在旁，还怕有人得罪他们么？他两位双剑纵横江湖之时，你都还没生下来呢。”林平之道：“话是不错。不过师父、师娘还没找到，咱们却在这里贪玩，总是心中不安。”岳灵珊道：“好罢，就听你的。不过找到了爹妈，你可得陪我堆两个挺好看的雪人。”林平之道：“这个自然。” 令狐冲心想：“我料他必定会说：'就像你这般好看。'又或是说：'要堆得像你这样好看，可就难了。'不料他只说'这个自然'，就算了事。”转念又想：“林师弟稳重厚实，哪似我这般轻佻？小师妹倘若要我陪她堆雪人，便有天大的事，我也置之脑后了。偏生小师妹就服他的，虽然不愿意，却半点也不使小性儿，没闹别扭，哪里像她平时对我这样？嗯，林师弟身子是大好了，不知那一剑是谁砍他的，小师妹却把这笔帐算在我头上。” 他全神贯注倾听岳灵珊和林平之说话，忘了自身僵硬，这一来，正合了“吸星大法”行功的要诀：“无所用心，浑不着意。”左腿和左腰的麻木便渐渐减轻。 只听得岳灵珊道：“好，雪人便不堆，我却要在这四个雪人上写几个字。”刷的一声，拔出了长剑。 令狐冲又是一惊：“她要用剑在我们四人身上乱划乱刺，那可糟了。”要想出声叫唤，挥手阻止，苦于口不能言，手不能动。但听得嗤嗤几声轻响，她已用剑尖在向问天身外的积雪上划字，一路划将过来，划到了令狐冲身上。幸好她划得甚浅，没破雪见衣，更没伤到令狐冲的皮肉。令狐冲寻思：“不知她在我们身上写了些甚么字？” 只听岳灵珊柔声道：“你也来写几个字罢。”林平之道：“好！”接过剑来，也在四个雪人身上划字，也是自左而右，至令狐冲身上而止。 令狐冲心道：“不知他又写了甚么字？” 只听岳灵珊道：“对了，咱二人定要这样。”良久良久，两人默然无语。 令狐冲更是好奇，寻思：“一定要怎么样？只有他二人走了之后，任教主身上的寒毒去净，我才能从积雪中挣出来看。啊哟不好，我身子一动，积雪跌落，他们在我身上刻的字可就毁了。倘若四人同时行动，更加一个字也无法看到。” 又过一会，忽听得远处隐隐传来一阵马蹄之声，相隔尚远，但显是向这边奔来。令狐冲听蹄声共有十余骑之多，心道：“多半是本派其余的师弟妹们来啦。”蹄声渐近，但林岳二人似乎始终未曾在意。听得那十余骑从东北角上奔来，到得数里之外，有七八骑向西驰去，列成横队后才继续驰近，显然要两翼包抄。令狐冲心道：“来人不怀好意！” 突然之间，岳灵珊惊呼：“啊哟，有人来啦！”蹄声急响，十余骑发力疾驰，随即飕飕两声响，两只长箭射来，两匹马齐声悲嘶，中箭倒地。令狐冲心道：“来人武功不弱，用意更是歹毒，先射死小师妹和林师弟的坐骑，教他们难以逃走。” 只听得十余人大笑吆喝，纵马逼近。岳灵珊惊呼一声，退了几步。只听一人笑道：“一个小弟弟，一个小妹妹，你们是哪一家，哪一派的门下啊？”林平之朗声道：“在下华山门下林平之，这位是我师姊姓岳。众位素不相识，何故射死了我们的坐骑？”那人笑道：“华山门下？嗯，你们师父，便是那个比剑败给徒儿的，甚么君子剑岳先生了？” 令狐冲心头一痛：“此番群豪聚集少林，我得罪师父，只是昨日之事，但顷刻间便天下皆知。我累得师父给旁人如此耻笑，当真罪孽深重。” 林平之道：“令狐冲素行不端，屡犯门规，早在一年之前，便已逐出了华山派门户。”意思是说，师父虽然输给了他，却只是输于外人，并非输给本门弟子。 那人笑道：“这个小姐儿姓岳，是岳不群的甚么人？”岳灵珊怒道：“关你甚么事了？你射死我的马，赔我马来。”那人笑道：“瞧她这副浪劲儿，多半是岳不群的小老婆。”其余十余人轰然大笑起来。 令狐冲暗自吃惊：“此人吐属粗鄙，绝非正派人物，只怕对小师妹不利。” 林平之道：“阁下是江湖前辈，何以说话如此不干不净？我师妹是我师父的千金。” 那人笑道：“原来是岳不群的大小姐，当真是浪得虚名。”旁边一人问道：“卢大哥，为甚么浪得虚名？”那人道：“我曾听人说，岳不群的女儿相貌标致，算是后一辈人物中的美女，一见之下，却也不过如此。”另一人笑道：“这妞儿相貌稀松平常，却是细皮白肉，脱光了瞧瞧，只怕不差。哈哈，哈哈！”十几个人又都大笑，笑声中充满了淫秽之意。 岳灵珊、林平之、令狐冲听到如此无礼的言语，尽皆怒不可遏。林平之拔出长剑，喝道：“你们再出无耻之言，林某誓死周旋。” 那人笑道：“你们瞧，这两个奸夫淫妇，在雪人上写了甚么字啊？” 林平之大叫：“我跟你们拚了！”令狐冲只听得嗤的一声响，知是林平之挺剑刺出，跟着乒乒乓乓声响，有人跃下马来，跟他动上了手。随即岳灵珊挺剑上前。七八名汉子同时叫道：“我来对付这妞儿。”一名汉子笑道：“大家别争，谁也轮得到。”兵刃撞击，岳灵珊也和敌人动上了手。猛听一名汉子大声怒吼，叫声中充满了痛楚，当是中剑受伤。一名汉子道：“这妞儿下手好狠，史老三，我跟你报仇。” 刀剑格斗声中，岳灵珊叫道：“小心！”当的一声大响，跟着林平之哼了一声。岳灵珊惊叫：“小林子！”似乎是林平之受了伤。有人叫道：“将这小子宰了罢！”那带头的道：“别杀他，捉活的。拿了岳不群的女儿女婿，不怕那伪君子不听咱们的。” 令狐冲凝神倾听，只闻金刃劈空之声呼呼而响。突然当的一声，又是拍的一响。一名汉子骂道：“他妈的，臭小娘。”令狐冲忽觉有人靠在自己身上，听得岳灵珊喘息甚促，正是她靠在自己这个“雪人”之上。叮当数响，一名汉子欢声叫道：“这还拿不住你？”岳灵珊“啊”的一声惊叫，不再听得兵刃相交，众汉子却都哈哈大笑起来。 令狐冲感到岳灵珊被人拖开，又听她叫道：“放开我！放开我！”一人笑道：“闵老二，你说她一身细皮白肉，老子可就不信，咱们剥光了她衣衫瞧瞧。”众人鼓掌欢呼。林平之骂道：“狗强……”拍的一声，给人踢了一脚，跟着嗤的一声响，竟是布帛撕裂之声。 令狐冲耳听小师妹为贼人所辱，哪里还顾得任我行的寒毒是否已经驱尽，使力一挣，从积雪中跃出，右手拔出腰间长剑，左手便去抹脸上积雪，岂知左手并不听使唤，无法动弹。 众人惊呼声中，他伸右臂在脸上一抹，一见到光亮，长剑递出，三名汉子咽喉中剑。他回过身来，刷刷两剑，又刺倒二人。眼见一名汉子拿住了岳灵珊双手，将她双臂反在背后，另一名汉子站在她身前，拔刀欲待迎敌，令狐冲长剑从他左胁下刺入，右腿一抬，将那人踢开，长剑从尸身中拔出，耳听得背后有人偷袭，竟不回头，反手两剑，刺中了背后二人的心口，顺手挺剑，从岳灵珊身旁掠过，直刺拿住她双手那人的咽喉。那人双手一松，扑在岳灵珊肩头，喉头血如泉涌。 这一下变故突兀之极，令狐冲连杀九人，仅是瞬息间之事。那带头的一声吆喝，舞动双铁牌向令狐冲头顶砸到。令狐冲长剑抖动，从他两块铁牌间的空隙中穿入，直刺他左眼。那人大叫一声，向后便倒。令狐冲回过头来，横削直刺，又杀了三人。余下四人只吓得心胆俱裂，发一声喊，没命价四下奔逃。 令狐冲叫道：“你们辱我小师妹，一个也休想活命。”追上二人，长剑疾刺，都是从后背穿向前胸。这二人奔行正急，中剑气绝，脚下未停，兀自奔出十余步这才倒地。 眼见余下二人一个向东，一个向西，令狐冲疾奔往东，使劲一掷，长剑幻作一道银光，从那人背腰插入。令狐冲转头向西首那人追去，奔行十余丈后，已追到那人身后，一伸手，这才发觉手中并无兵刃。他运力于指，向那人背心戳去。那人背上一痛，回刀砍来。令狐冲拳脚功夫平平，适才这一指虽戳中了敌人，但不知运力之法，却伤不了他，见他举刀砍到，不由得心下发慌，急忙闪避，见他右胁下是个老大破绽，左手一拳直击过去，不料左臂只微微一动，抬不起来，敌人的钢刀却已砍向面前。 令狐冲大骇之下，急向后跃。那汉子举刀猛扑。令狐冲手中没了兵刃，不敢和他对敌，只得转身而逃。岳灵珊拾起地下长剑，叫道：“大师哥，接剑！”将长剑掷来。令狐冲右手一抄，接住了剑，转过身子，哈哈一笑。那汉子钢刀举在半空，作势欲待砍下，突然见到他手中长剑闪烁，登时吓呆了，这一刀竟尔砍不下来。 令狐冲慢慢走近，那汉子全身发抖，双膝一屈，跪倒在雪地之中。令狐冲怒道：“你辱我师妹，须饶你不得。”长剑指在他咽喉之上，心念一动，走近一步，低声问道：“写在雪人上的，是些甚么字？”那汉子颤声道：“是……是……'海枯……海枯……石烂，两……情……情不……不渝'。”自从世上有了“海枯石烂，两情不渝”这八个字以来，说得如此胆战心惊、丧魂落魄的，只怕这是破题儿第一遭了。令狐冲一呆，道：“嗯，是海枯石烂，两情不渝。”心头酸楚，长剑送出，刺入他咽喉。 回过身来，只见岳灵珊正在扶起林平之，两人满脸满身都是鲜血。林平之站直身子，向令狐冲抱拳道：“多谢令狐兄相救之德。”令狐冲道：“那算得甚么？你伤得不重吗？”林平之道：“还好！”令狐冲将长剑还给了岳灵珊，指着地下两行马蹄印痕，说道：“师父、师娘，向此而去。”林平之道：“是。” 岳灵珊牵过敌人留下的两匹坐骑，翻身上马，道：“咱们找爹爹、妈妈去。”林平之挣扎着上了马。岳灵珊纵马驰过令狐冲身边，将马一勒，向他脸上望去。 令狐冲见到她的目光，也向她瞧去。岳灵珊道：“多……多谢你……”一回头，提起缰绳，两骑马随着岳不群夫妇坐骑所留下的蹄印，向西北方而去。 令狐冲怔怔的瞧着他二人背影没在远处树林之后，这才慢慢转过身子，只见任我行、向问天、盈盈三人都已抖去身上积雪，凝望着他。
令狐冲喜道：“任教主，我没累到你的事？”任我行苦笑道：“我的事没累到，你自己可糟得很了。你左臂怎么样？”令狐冲道：“臂上经脉不顺，气血不通，竟不听使唤。” 任我行皱眉道：“这件事有点儿麻烦，咱们慢慢再想法子。你救了岳家大小姐，总算报了师门之德，从此谁也不欠谁的情。向兄弟，卢老大怎地越来越不长进了。干起这些卑鄙龌龊的事来？”向问天道：“我听他口气，似是要将这两个年轻人擒回黑木崖去。”任我行道：“难道是东方不败的主意？他跟这伪君子又有甚么梁子了？” 令狐冲指着雪地中横七竖八的尸首，问道：“这些人是东方不败的属下？”任我行道：“是我的属下。”令狐冲点了点头。 盈盈道：“爹爹，他的手臂怎么了？”任我行笑道：“你别心急！乖女婿给爹爹驱除寒毒，泰山老儿自当设法治好他手臂。”说着呵呵大笑，瞪视令狐冲，瞧得他甚感尴尬。 盈盈低声道：“爹爹，你休说这等言语。冲哥自幼和华山岳小姐青梅竹马，一同长大，适才冲哥对岳小姐那样的神情，你难道还不明白么？”任我行笑道：“岳不群这伪君子是甚么东西？他的女儿又怎能和我的女儿相比？再说，这岳姑娘早已另外有了心上人，这等水性的女子，冲儿今后也不会再将她放在心上。小孩子时候的事，怎作得准？”盈盈道：“冲哥为了我大闹少林，天下知闻，又为了我而不愿重归华山，单此两件事，女儿已经心满意足，其余的话，不用提了。” 任我行知道女儿十分要强好胜，令狐冲既未提出求婚，此刻就不便多说，反正那也只是迟早间之事，当下又是哈哈一笑，说道：“很好，很好，终身大事，慢慢再谈。冲儿，打通左臂经脉的秘诀，我先传你。”将他招往一旁，将如何运气、如何通脉的法门说了，待听他复述一遍，记忆无误，又道：“你助我驱除寒毒，我教你通畅经脉，咱俩仍是两不亏欠。要令左臂经脉复元，须得七日时光，可不能躁进。”令狐冲应道：“是。” 任我行招招手，叫向问天和盈盈过来，说道：“冲儿，那日在孤山梅庄，我邀你入我日月神教，当时你一口拒却。今日情势已大不相同，老夫旧事重提，这一次，你再不会推三阻四了罢？”令狐冲踌躇未答，任我行又道：“你习了我的吸星大法之后，他日后患无穷，体内异种真气发作之时，当真是求生不能，求死不得。老夫说过的话，决无反悔，你若不入本教，纵然盈盈嫁你，我也不能传你化解之道。就算我女儿怪我一世，我也是这一句话。我们眼前大事，是去向东方不败算帐，你是不是随我们同去？” 令狐冲道：“教主莫怪，晚辈决计不入日月神教。”这两句话朗朗说来，斩钉截铁，绝无转圜余地。 任我行等三人一听，登时变色。向问天道：“那却是为何？你瞧不起日月神教吗？” 令狐冲指着雪地上十余具尸首，说道：“日月神教中尽是这些人，晚辈虽然不肖，却也羞与为伍。再说，晚辈已答应了定闲师太，要去当恒山派的掌门。” 任我行、向问天、盈盈三人脸上都露出怪异之极的神色。令狐冲不愿入教，并不如何出奇，而他最后这一句话当真是奇峰突起，三人简直不相信自己的耳朵。 任我行伸出食指，指着令狐冲的脸，突然哈哈大笑，直震得周遭树上的积雪簌簌而落。他笑了好一阵，才道：“你……你……你要去做尼姑？去做众尼姑的掌门人？” 令狐冲正色道：“不是做尼姑，是去做恒山派掌门人。定闲师太临死之时，亲口求我，晚辈若不答应，老师太死不瞑目。定闲师太是为我而死，晚辈明知此事势必骇人听闻，却是无法推却。” 任我行仍是笑声不绝。 盈盈道：“定闲师太是为了女儿而死的。”令狐冲向她瞧去，眼光中充满了感激之意。 任我行慢慢止住了笑声，道：“你是受人之托，忠人之事？”令狐冲道：“不错。定闲师太是受我之托，因此丧身。”任我行点头道：“那也好！我是老怪，你是小怪。不行惊世骇俗之事，何以成惊天动地之人？你去当大小尼姑的掌门人罢。你这就上恒山去？” 令狐冲摇头道：“不！晚辈要上少林寺去。” 任我行微微一奇，随即明白，道：“是了，你要将两个老尼姑的尸首送回恒山。”转头向盈盈道：“你要随冲儿一起上少林寺去罢？”盈盈道：“不，我随着爹爹。” 任我行道：“对啦，终不成你跟着他上恒山去做尼姑。”说着呵呵呵的笑了几声，笑声中却尽是苦涩之意。 令狐冲一拱到地，说道：“任教主，向大哥，盈盈，咱们就此别过。”转过身来，大踏步的去了。他走出十余步，回头说道：“任教主，你们何时上黑木崖去！” 任我行道：“这是本教教内之事，可不劳外人操心。”他知道令狐冲问这句话，意欲届时拔刀相助，共同对付东方不败，当即一口拒却。 令狐冲点了点头，从雪地里拾起一柄长剑，挂在腰间，转身而去。
Suddenly, Linghu Chong heard a few heavy breathing sounds outside the cave, and immediately listened attentively. Yingying's internal strength was not as good as him, so she didn't hear the sound. Seeing his expression, he asked: "What did you hear?" Linghu Chong said "Just now I heard a panting sound, someone is coming. But the panting is rapid, that person's martial arts is low, so it's nothing to worry about." Then asked: "Where's your father?" Yingying said: "Daddy told Uncle Xiang to go for a stroll." When she said this, she blushed, knowing that her father deliberately avoided it, so that Linghu Chong could talk about his divorce with her after he woke up. Linghu Chong heard a few more gasps, and said: "Let's go out and have a look." The two walked out of the cave, and saw that the footprints of Xiang and Ren in the snow had been half covered by fresh snow.Linghu Chong pointed to the two lines of footprints and said, "The sound of panting is coming from there." The two of them walked more than ten zhang along the footsteps, turned around the mountain depression, and suddenly saw the snow field, Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian stood side by side, but they didn't move.The two were taken aback and rushed over at the same time. Yingying shouted: "Father!" Stretching out her hand to pull Ren Woxing's left hand, the moment it touched her father's skin, her whole body shook, and she felt a chill that penetrated to the marrow of his bone, and she was shocked. Called: "Father, you...how are you..." Before he could finish his sentence, his whole body was trembling, his teeth were rattling, but he knew in his heart that after his father was struck by Zuo Lengchan's "Ice True Qi", She had been suppressing herself all the time, but at this moment she finally couldn't suppress it, the cold burst out, and Xiang Wentian was trying her best to help her father resist.Ren Woxing briefly told her about how Zuo Lengchan used tricks to seal up the acupoints in Shaolin Temple after he went down the mountain. But Linghu Chong didn't understand yet, under Bai Xue's reflection, he saw that Ren Xiang and the two had serious expressions on their faces, followed by Ren Woxing and took a few deep breaths, only then did he realize that the panting sound just heard was from him.But seeing Yingying's body trembling, he immediately reached out to hold her left hand, and immediately felt a burst of cold air penetrate into his body.He suddenly realized that he had caught the enemy's yin and cold internal energy and was exuding it with all his strength, so he slowly dissipated the cold energy that had penetrated into his body according to the San Gong engraved on the iron plate at the bottom of the West Lake. Let me get his help, my heart suddenly felt relieved, Xiang Wentian and Yingying's internal energy is not the same as what he has learned, they can only help him resist the cold, but they cannot dissipate it.He did his best to prevent his whole body from freezing into ice, and he no longer had the energy to radiate the cold air. After persisting for a long time, he felt more and more strenuous.Linghu Chong's method of improving his kung fu was to pull out the bottom of the pot, pulling out the "Ice True Qi" from his body bit by bit, and scattered it outside. The four stood in the snow hand in hand, as if they were stiff.Heavy snow fell on the heads and faces of the four people one after another, gradually covering their hair, eyes, nose, and clothes. As Linghu Chong practiced his kung fu, he wondered in his heart: "How come the snow doesn't melt when it falls on your face?" He didn't know that the "Ice True Qi" practiced by Zuo Lengchan was extremely powerful, the cold air emitted by him was far colder than ice and snow.At this time, only the blood in the four of them can keep warm, the skin is as cold as ice, the snowflakes fall on the body, but it does not melt at all, and it accumulates faster than if it falls on the ground. After a long, long time, the sky is getting brighter, but the heavy snow is still falling.Linghu Chong was worried that Yingying's delicate girl was weak and couldn't bear the long-term invasion of the cold air, but the cold poison in Ren Woxing's body had not been exhausted, although the sound of panting was no longer heard, he didn't know if he could give up at this time, whether after giving up Otherwise he changed.He couldn't make up his mind, so he had to continue to help him do exercises. Fortunately, he could feel from Yingying's palm that although her skin was cold, her body was no longer trembling, and he could feel her pulse beating slightly in her palm.At this time, several inches of white snow had already accumulated on his eyes, he could only vaguely feel that the sky was already bright, but he couldn't see anything.Immediately, I can't stop strengthening my exercise skills, I only hope that the cold air in my body will be exhausted for Ren Woxing as soon as possible.
After a long time, suddenly the sound of horseshoes came from far away in the northeast corner, and it was gradually approaching. It could be heard that it was riding in front and behind, followed by a person calling loudly: "Junior Sister, Junior Sister, listen to me." Although Linghu Chong's ears were covered with white snow, he could still hear clearly, it was the voice of his master Yue Buqun.The two riders couldn't stop approaching, and Yue Buqun shouted: "You lose your temper because you don't understand the reason, listen to me." Afterwards, Madam Yue shouted: "I am not happy, shut up!" What's the matter with you? What else is there to say?" Hearing the two people shouting and the sound of the horses running, it was Mrs. Yue on horseback, and Yue Buqun on horseback. Linghu Chong was very surprised: "Ms. Mistress is very angry, I don't know how Master offended her." But hearing Mrs. Yue's horse galloping straight up, she suddenly let out a "Hey" and followed the horse with a long hiss, presumably she reined in the horse suddenly and stopped, and the horse stood up.Not long after, Yue Buqun arrived on horseback, and said: "Junior Sister, you see that these four snowmen look alike, don't you?" Madam Yue snorted, as if she was still angry, she said to herself: " In this wilderness, why did someone build these four snowmen?" Linghu Chong just thought: "What kind of snowman is there in this wilderness?" Then he understood: "The four of us are covered with white snow, so bloated that Master and Mistress regarded us as snowmen." , but this matter is really ridiculous.But there was fear in front of him: "Master, once he finds out that it is the four of us, he will definitely strike one at a time. If he wants to kill us right now, it doesn't take a single effort." Yue Buqun said: "There are no footprints in the snow. These four snowmen have been piled up for several days. Junior sister, look, it seems that three are male and one is female." Mrs. Yue said: "I think so. Almost, what is the difference between men and women?" With a yell, he urged the horse to go.Yue Buqun said: "Junior Sister, you are so impatient! There is no one here, so let's take a long-term view, wouldn't it be good?" Mrs. Yue said, "What is your impatience? I will go back to Huashan. You like to please Zuo Lengchan, you are alone Let's go to Songshan Mountain." Yue Buqun said: "Who said I like to curry favor with Zuo Lengchan? If I don't want to be the head of the Huashan School, why should I bow to the Songshan School?" Mrs. Yue said: "Yes! I just don't understand, why do you Why do you want to bow your head to Zuo Lengchan and listen to his instructions? Although he is the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect, he can't control the affairs of my Huashan Sect. The five sword sects are merged into one. Does the Huashan Sect still have a name in the martial arts world? When Master passed on the head of the Huashan School to you, what did you say?" Yue Buqun said: "Master wants me to promote the Huashan School." Madam Yue said: "Yes. If you agree to Zuo Leng In Zen, the Huashan School has been included in the Songshan Mountain. How can we stand up to the mentor under the spring? As the saying goes, it is better to be the mouth of a chicken than the queen of a cow. Although the Huashan School is small, we can stand on our own and don’t have to rely on others. " Yue Buqun sighed, and said: "Junior Sister, compared with the two masters of Hengshan School, Dingxian and Dingyi, who is superior in martial arts?" Mrs. Yue said: "No comparison, I think they are similar Why do you ask this?" Yue Buqun said: "I think it's similar, these two masters died in Shaolin Temple, it was obviously caused by Zuo Lengchan." Linghu Chong's heart skipped a beat, he already suspected Zuo Lengchan's tricks, otherwise others wouldn't have such good skills.Although the masters of Shaolin and Wudang sects have high martial arts skills, they are all righteous men, and they will never do such harmful activities.The Songshan faction failed to besiege Hengshan Sanni several times, this time it must be Zuo Lengchan himself.Let me perform such formidable martial arts, but still be defeated by Zuo Lengchan, the two masters of Hengshan School are naturally not his enemies. Mrs. Yue said: "It was Zuo Lengchan who did the harm, so what? If you have the evidence, you can invite the heroes of the orthodox religion to question Zuo Lengchan and avenge the two masters." Yue Buqun said. : "Firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, the strength is invincible." Mrs. Yue said: "Why are you invincible? Let's invite Abbot Fangzheng of the Shaolin School and Daoist Chongxu of the Wudang School to uphold justice. How dare Zuo Lengchan do anything?" Yue Buqun said, "Just I'm afraid that Abbot Fangzheng and the others haven't invited us yet, but our husband and wife are already like the two teachers and wives of the Hengshan School." Madam Yue said, "You said that Zuo Lengchan killed both of us? Hmph, since we have established ourselves in the martial arts , so much to worry about? Can someone who is afraid of tigers in the front and wolves in the back still hang around in the rivers and lakes?" Linghu Chong admired secretly: "Although Master is a female generation, she is more heroic than a man." Yue Buqun said: "It's not a pity for the two of us to die, but what good is there? Zuo Lengchan did it secretly, and the two of us died for no reason. In the end, he didn't start the school and create the Five Sacred Mountains school? Maybe He will even fabricate an ugly accusation and put it on us." Madam Yue was silent.Yue Buqun said again: "Once our husband and wife die, all the disciples under the Huashan sect will become the fish and meat of Zuo Lengchan. How can there be any room for resistance? No matter what, we have to think about it for Shan'er." Mrs. Yue snorted, as if she had been moved by her husband, and after a while, she said: "Well, let's not expose Zuo Lengchan's conspiracy for now, and according to your words, we will be polite and perfunctory with him in face, Wait and move." Yue Buqun said: "It's very good if you agree to this. Pingzhi's family's "Evil Resisting Sword Manual" was swallowed up by Linghu Chong again. If he is willing to return it to Pingzhi, my disciples of Huashan Group Why are you afraid of being oppressed by Zuo Lengchan after you learn it? How can our Huashan School be so precarious and difficult to survive?" Mrs. Yue said: "Why do you still suspect that Chong'er's great progress in swordsmanship is due to swallowing up Ping'er's family's "Evil Resisting Sword Manual"? In this battle in Shaolin Temple, Master Fangzheng, Daoist Chongxu and other masters all fought against each other. It is said that his exquisite swordsmanship is from Uncle Feng's true biography. Although Uncle Feng is a sword sect, he is still from our Huashan sect. It is really wrong for Chong'er to associate with demons and evil spirits, but no matter what, we can no longer I wronged him for swallowing the "Sword Manual of Resisting Evil". If you still can't believe the words of Master Fangzheng and Daoist Chongxu, who else in the world can be trusted?" Linghu Chong was extremely grateful when he heard his wife's explanation for him, and couldn't help but wanted to rush out and hug her. Suddenly, his head shook a few times, someone stretched out his hand and slapped his head, thinking: "No, we have seen through our Xingzang. Master Ren's cold poison has not been exhausted yet, Master and Mistress again If you attack me, what should I do?" I only felt that the internal force transmitted from Yingying's hand was shaking violently, and it was expected that Ren Woxing would also be in a state of anxiety.But after a few light pats on the top of the head, there was no more movement. Madam Yue said: "Yesterday you fought with Chong'er and used the four tricks of 'The Prodigal Son Turns Back', 'The Cangsong Welcomes Guests', 'Nongyu Blowing the Xiao', and 'Xiao Shi Riding the Dragon', what does that mean? "Yue Buqun chuckled, and said: "Although this little thief has a bad character, after all, you and I brought him up with our own hands. It's a pity to see him go astray. As long as his prodigal son returns, I will allow him to return to the Huashan family. Madam Yue said: "I understand what I mean. But what about the other two moves?" Yue Buqun said, "You already know it in your heart, so why ask me?" Promised Shan'er to marry him as his wife, didn't you?" Yue Buqun said, "That's right." Mrs. Yue said, "Is it a temporary expedient measure for you to signal to him like this, or do you really mean it?" Yue Buqun remained silent.Linghu Chong felt someone tap on the top of his head again, and immediately understood that Yue Buqun was contemplating while reaching out to pat the snowman's head, not because he had seen through the four of them. I just heard Yue Buqun say: "The man's words are like a mountain, and since I have agreed to him, I have no reason to go back on it." Mrs. Yue said: "He is very obsessed with that demon girl, don't you know?" Yue Buqun said "No, he may be grateful for that witch, but he may not be infatuated with it. The way he treats Shan'er is very different from how he treats that witch. Can't you see it?" Mrs. Yue said: "Of course I can see that too. You said that he still has not forgotten his love for Shan'er?" Yue Buqun said: "Not only has he not forgotten his love, he is... simply lovesick to the bone. Once he understands the purpose of my sword moves, you don't see me. His air of being overjoyed and elated?" Madam Yue said coldly, "Because of this, you are using Shan'er as a bait to lure him into the bait? To lure him to deliberately lose for Shan'er's sake?" you?" Although Linghu Chong's ears were full of snow, he could still hear the anger and sarcasm in Master's wife's words.He had never heard such a tone come out of his wife's mouth.Yue Buqun and his wife have always treated him like a child, they usually talk and have no taboos in front of him.Mrs. Yue has a quick temper, and it is common for her to contradict her husband occasionally when it comes to household chores, but when it comes to discipleship, she has always respected her husband's status as the head of the sect, and will never disobey him.Saying this at this moment shows that she is extremely dissatisfied in her heart. Yue Buqun sighed, and said: "It turns out that even you can't understand my intentions. My own gain or loss is a minor matter, but the success or failure of the Huashan School's success or failure is a major issue. If I can finally persuade Linghu Chong to return to Huashan , That's a great thing." Madam Yue said: "What is four things?" Yue Buqun said: "Linghu Chong's swordsmanship is extremely powerful, far superior to mine. He got it from the evil sword manual. It doesn't matter whether it was taught by Uncle Feng, if he returns to Mount Hua, my Huashan faction will become famous all over the world. This is the second major event. He returned to the sect of the orthodox sect, so that the demon sect not only lost a powerful supporter, but also gained a great enemy. The ups and downs, this is the third Big deal. Junior sister, don’t you think so?” Mrs. Yue said: "Well, what about the fourth case?" Yue Buqun said: "This is the fourth case. My husband and I have no children, and we have always treated Chong'er as our own. He has gone astray, and I am really heartbroken. I'm not young anymore, so what's the name in this world? As long as he can really change his ways and turn to the right, wouldn't it be a great happy event for our family to be reunited and happy?" Hearing this, Linghu Chong couldn't help but feel agitated, "Master! Mistress!" With these two sounds, he almost cried out. Mrs. Yue said: "Shan'er agrees with each other in peace, don't you have the heart to separate the two of them and make Shan'er regret for life?" How is Shan'er? Pingzhi is diligent and well-behaved, what's wrong?" Yue Buqun said: "Although Pingzhi works hard, compared with Linghu Chong, he is far behind him. You can't even chase after him if you flatter him all your life. Come on." Mrs. Yue said: "Is strong martial arts a good husband? I really hope that Chong'er can change his ways and return to the family. But he is a fool, a frivolous, frivolous and good drinker. If Shan'er marries him, he will definitely miss his life." .” Linghu Chong felt ashamed and thought to himself: "Master said that I'm 'frivolous, frivolous, frivolous and good at drinking'. This is indeed an accurate comment. But if I can really marry my junior sister, will I let her down? No, absolutely not. !" Yue Buqun sighed again, and said: "Anyway, I wasted my efforts in vain, this little thief is already deeply addicted, and our words are all in vain. Junior sister, are you still angry with me?" Madam Yue didn't answer, but after a while, she asked: "Does your leg hurt badly?" Yue Buqun said: "It's just a trauma, it doesn't matter. Let's go back to Mount Hua." Madam Yue: "Yes." With a sound.But the sound of Erqi stepping on the snow gradually faded away.
Linghu Chong was in a state of confusion, repeatedly thinking about what his master and wife had said just now, he forgot to practice the kung fu, suddenly a chill came from his palm, he couldn't help shivering cleverly, he felt the chill all over his body, and hurriedly did the kung fu Resisting, he was in a hurry for a while, and suddenly felt that his inner breath was blocked by his left shoulder, unable to pass through, so he hurriedly raised his qi movement.However, he practiced this "star-absorbing Dafa" only according to the key points engraved on the iron plate, and he learned it without a teacher. He didn't get the guidance of a master for all kinds of subtle and profound things. First, the left arm gradually became stiff, followed by the numbness along the meridians to the left flank and left waist, and then down, the whole left leg was also numb. Linghu Chong opened his mouth in panic, but found that his lips had also Can't move. At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes, and two more horses galloped closer.Someone said: "The hoofprints here are messy, and my father and mother stayed here." It was Yue Lingshan's voice.Linghu Chong was both surprised and delighted: "Why is little junior sister here?" Another person said: "Master has a leg injury, don't make any trouble, let's chase after the hoofprints." It was Lin Pingzhi's. sound.Linghu Chong thought to himself: "That's right, the hoof prints are clear in the snow. Junior Sister and Junior Brother Lin searched for Master and Mistress, and they came all the way." Yue Lingshan suddenly called out: "Xiao Linzi, look at how fun these four snowmen are, standing in a row hand in hand." Lin Pingzhi said: "There seems to be no one around here, why is someone here to play with making snowmen?" Yue Lingshan笑道：“咱们也堆两个雪人玩玩好不好？”林平之道：“好啊，堆一个男的，一个女的，也要手拉手的。”岳灵珊翻身下马，捧起雪来便要堆砌。 林平之道：“咱们还是先去找寻师父、师娘要紧。找到他二位之后，慢慢再堆雪人玩不迟。”岳灵珊道：“你便是扫人家的兴。爹爹腿上虽然受伤，骑在马上便和不伤一般无异，有妈妈在旁，还怕有人得罪他们么？他两位双剑纵横江湖之时，你都还没生下来呢。”林平之道：“话是不错。不过师父、师娘还没找到，咱们却在这里贪玩，总是心中不安。”岳灵珊道：“好罢，就听你的。不过找到了爹妈，你可得陪我堆两个挺好看的雪人。”林平之道：“这个自然。” 令狐冲心想：“我料他必定会说：'就像你这般好看。'又或是说：'要堆得像你这样好看，可就难了。'不料他只说'这个自然'，就算了事。”转念又想：“林师弟稳重厚实，哪似我这般轻佻？小师妹倘若要我陪她堆雪人，便有天大的事，我也置之脑后了。偏生小师妹就服他的，虽然不愿意，却半点也不使小性儿，没闹别扭，哪里像她平时对我这样？嗯，林师弟身子是大好了，不知那一剑是谁砍他的，小师妹却把这笔帐算在我头上。” 他全神贯注倾听岳灵珊和林平之说话，忘了自身僵硬，这一来，正合了“吸星大法”行功的要诀：“无所用心，浑不着意。”左腿和左腰的麻木便渐渐减轻。 只听得岳灵珊道：“好，雪人便不堆，我却要在这四个雪人上写几个字。”刷的一声，拔出了长剑。 令狐冲又是一惊：“她要用剑在我们四人身上乱划乱刺，那可糟了。”要想出声叫唤，挥手阻止，苦于口不能言，手不能动。但听得嗤嗤几声轻响，她已用剑尖在向问天身外的积雪上划字，一路划将过来，划到了令狐冲身上。幸好她划得甚浅，没破雪见衣，更没伤到令狐冲的皮肉。令狐冲寻思：“不知她在我们身上写了些甚么字？” 只听岳灵珊柔声道：“你也来写几个字罢。”林平之道：“好！”接过剑来，也在四个雪人身上划字，也是自左而右，至令狐冲身上而止。 令狐冲心道：“不知他又写了甚么字？” 只听岳灵珊道：“对了，咱二人定要这样。”良久良久，两人默然无语。 令狐冲更是好奇，寻思：“一定要怎么样？只有他二人走了之后，任教主身上的寒毒去净，我才能从积雪中挣出来看。啊哟不好，我身子一动，积雪跌落，他们在我身上刻的字可就毁了。倘若四人同时行动，更加一个字也无法看到。” 又过一会，忽听得远处隐隐传来一阵马蹄之声，相隔尚远，但显是向这边奔来。令狐冲听蹄声共有十余骑之多，心道：“多半是本派其余的师弟妹们来啦。”蹄声渐近，但林岳二人似乎始终未曾在意。听得那十余骑从东北角上奔来，到得数里之外，有七八骑向西驰去，列成横队后才继续驰近，显然要两翼包抄。令狐冲心道：“来人不怀好意！” 突然之间，岳灵珊惊呼：“啊哟，有人来啦！”蹄声急响，十余骑发力疾驰，随即飕飕两声响，两只长箭射来，两匹马齐声悲嘶，中箭倒地。令狐冲心道：“来人武功不弱，用意更是歹毒，先射死小师妹和林师弟的坐骑，教他们难以逃走。” 只听得十余人大笑吆喝，纵马逼近。岳灵珊惊呼一声，退了几步。只听一人笑道：“一个小弟弟，一个小妹妹，你们是哪一家，哪一派的门下啊？”林平之朗声道：“在下华山门下林平之，这位是我师姊姓岳。众位素不相识，何故射死了我们的坐骑？”那人笑道：“华山门下？嗯，你们师父，便是那个比剑败给徒儿的，甚么君子剑岳先生了？” 令狐冲心头一痛：“此番群豪聚集少林，我得罪师父，只是昨日之事，但顷刻间便天下皆知。我累得师父给旁人如此耻笑，当真罪孽深重。” 林平之道：“令狐冲素行不端，屡犯门规，早在一年之前，便已逐出了华山派门户。”意思是说，师父虽然输给了他，却只是输于外人，并非输给本门弟子。 那人笑道：“这个小姐儿姓岳，是岳不群的甚么人？”岳灵珊怒道：“关你甚么事了？你射死我的马，赔我马来。”那人笑道：“瞧她这副浪劲儿，多半是岳不群的小老婆。”其余十余人轰然大笑起来。 令狐冲暗自吃惊：“此人吐属粗鄙，绝非正派人物，只怕对小师妹不利。” 林平之道：“阁下是江湖前辈，何以说话如此不干不净？我师妹是我师父的千金。” 那人笑道：“原来是岳不群的大小姐，当真是浪得虚名。”旁边一人问道：“卢大哥，为甚么浪得虚名？”那人道：“我曾听人说，岳不群的女儿相貌标致，算是后一辈人物中的美女，一见之下，却也不过如此。”另一人笑道：“这妞儿相貌稀松平常，却是细皮白肉，脱光了瞧瞧，只怕不差。哈哈，哈哈！”十几个人又都大笑，笑声中充满了淫秽之意。 岳灵珊、林平之、令狐冲听到如此无礼的言语，尽皆怒不可遏。林平之拔出长剑，喝道：“你们再出无耻之言，林某誓死周旋。” 那人笑道：“你们瞧，这两个奸夫淫妇，在雪人上写了甚么字啊？” 林平之大叫：“我跟你们拚了！”令狐冲只听得嗤的一声响，知是林平之挺剑刺出，跟着乒乒乓乓声响，有人跃下马来，跟他动上了手。随即岳灵珊挺剑上前。七八名汉子同时叫道：“我来对付这妞儿。”一名汉子笑道：“大家别争，谁也轮得到。”兵刃撞击，岳灵珊也和敌人动上了手。猛听一名汉子大声怒吼，叫声中充满了痛楚，当是中剑受伤。一名汉子道：“这妞儿下手好狠，史老三，我跟你报仇。” 刀剑格斗声中，岳灵珊叫道：“小心！”当的一声大响，跟着林平之哼了一声。岳灵珊惊叫：“小林子！”似乎是林平之受了伤。有人叫道：“将这小子宰了罢！”那带头的道：“别杀他，捉活的。拿了岳不群的女儿女婿，不怕那伪君子不听咱们的。” 令狐冲凝神倾听，只闻金刃劈空之声呼呼而响。突然当的一声，又是拍的一响。一名汉子骂道：“他妈的，臭小娘。”令狐冲忽觉有人靠在自己身上，听得岳灵珊喘息甚促，正是她靠在自己这个“雪人”之上。叮当数响，一名汉子欢声叫道：“这还拿不住你？”岳灵珊“啊”的一声惊叫，不再听得兵刃相交，众汉子却都哈哈大笑起来。 令狐冲感到岳灵珊被人拖开，又听她叫道：“放开我！放开我！”一人笑道：“闵老二，你说她一身细皮白肉，老子可就不信，咱们剥光了她衣衫瞧瞧。”众人鼓掌欢呼。林平之骂道：“狗强……”拍的一声，给人踢了一脚，跟着嗤的一声响，竟是布帛撕裂之声。 令狐冲耳听小师妹为贼人所辱，哪里还顾得任我行的寒毒是否已经驱尽，使力一挣，从积雪中跃出，右手拔出腰间长剑，左手便去抹脸上积雪，岂知左手并不听使唤，无法动弹。 众人惊呼声中，他伸右臂在脸上一抹，一见到光亮，长剑递出，三名汉子咽喉中剑。他回过身来，刷刷两剑，又刺倒二人。眼见一名汉子拿住了岳灵珊双手，将她双臂反在背后，另一名汉子站在她身前，拔刀欲待迎敌，令狐冲长剑从他左胁下刺入，右腿一抬，将那人踢开，长剑从尸身中拔出，耳听得背后有人偷袭，竟不回头，反手两剑，刺中了背后二人的心口，顺手挺剑，从岳灵珊身旁掠过，直刺拿住她双手那人的咽喉。那人双手一松，扑在岳灵珊肩头，喉头血如泉涌。 这一下变故突兀之极，令狐冲连杀九人，仅是瞬息间之事。那带头的一声吆喝，舞动双铁牌向令狐冲头顶砸到。令狐冲长剑抖动，从他两块铁牌间的空隙中穿入，直刺他左眼。那人大叫一声，向后便倒。令狐冲回过头来，横削直刺，又杀了三人。余下四人只吓得心胆俱裂，发一声喊，没命价四下奔逃。 令狐冲叫道：“你们辱我小师妹，一个也休想活命。”追上二人，长剑疾刺，都是从后背穿向前胸。这二人奔行正急，中剑气绝，脚下未停，兀自奔出十余步这才倒地。 眼见余下二人一个向东，一个向西，令狐冲疾奔往东，使劲一掷，长剑幻作一道银光，从那人背腰插入。令狐冲转头向西首那人追去，奔行十余丈后，已追到那人身后，一伸手，这才发觉手中并无兵刃。他运力于指，向那人背心戳去。那人背上一痛，回刀砍来。令狐冲拳脚功夫平平，适才这一指虽戳中了敌人，但不知运力之法，却伤不了他，见他举刀砍到，不由得心下发慌，急忙闪避，见他右胁下是个老大破绽，左手一拳直击过去，不料左臂只微微一动，抬不起来，敌人的钢刀却已砍向面前。 令狐冲大骇之下，急向后跃。那汉子举刀猛扑。令狐冲手中没了兵刃，不敢和他对敌，只得转身而逃。岳灵珊拾起地下长剑，叫道：“大师哥，接剑！”将长剑掷来。令狐冲右手一抄，接住了剑，转过身子，哈哈一笑。那汉子钢刀举在半空，作势欲待砍下，突然见到他手中长剑闪烁，登时吓呆了，这一刀竟尔砍不下来。 令狐冲慢慢走近，那汉子全身发抖，双膝一屈，跪倒在雪地之中。令狐冲怒道：“你辱我师妹，须饶你不得。”长剑指在他咽喉之上，心念一动，走近一步，低声问道：“写在雪人上的，是些甚么字？”那汉子颤声道：“是……是……'海枯……海枯……石烂，两……情……情不……不渝'。”自从世上有了“海枯石烂，两情不渝”这八个字以来，说得如此胆战心惊、丧魂落魄的，只怕这是破题儿第一遭了。令狐冲一呆，道：“嗯，是海枯石烂，两情不渝。”心头酸楚，长剑送出，刺入他咽喉。 回过身来，只见岳灵珊正在扶起林平之，两人满脸满身都是鲜血。林平之站直身子，向令狐冲抱拳道：“多谢令狐兄相救之德。”令狐冲道：“那算得甚么？你伤得不重吗？”林平之道：“还好！”令狐冲将长剑还给了岳灵珊，指着地下两行马蹄印痕，说道：“师父、师娘，向此而去。”林平之道：“是。” 岳灵珊牵过敌人留下的两匹坐骑，翻身上马，道：“咱们找爹爹、妈妈去。”林平之挣扎着上了马。岳灵珊纵马驰过令狐冲身边，将马一勒，向他脸上望去。 令狐冲见到她的目光，也向她瞧去。岳灵珊道：“多……多谢你……”一回头，提起缰绳，两骑马随着岳不群夫妇坐骑所留下的蹄印，向西北方而去。 令狐冲怔怔的瞧着他二人背影没在远处树林之后，这才慢慢转过身子，只见任我行、向问天、盈盈三人都已抖去身上积雪，凝望着他。
令狐冲喜道：“任教主，我没累到你的事？”任我行苦笑道：“我的事没累到，你自己可糟得很了。你左臂怎么样？”令狐冲道：“臂上经脉不顺，气血不通，竟不听使唤。” 任我行皱眉道：“这件事有点儿麻烦，咱们慢慢再想法子。你救了岳家大小姐，总算报了师门之德，从此谁也不欠谁的情。向兄弟，卢老大怎地越来越不长进了。干起这些卑鄙龌龊的事来？”向问天道：“我听他口气，似是要将这两个年轻人擒回黑木崖去。”任我行道：“难道是东方不败的主意？他跟这伪君子又有甚么梁子了？” 令狐冲指着雪地中横七竖八的尸首，问道：“这些人是东方不败的属下？”任我行道：“是我的属下。”令狐冲点了点头。 盈盈道：“爹爹，他的手臂怎么了？”任我行笑道：“你别心急！乖女婿给爹爹驱除寒毒，泰山老儿自当设法治好他手臂。”说着呵呵大笑，瞪视令狐冲，瞧得他甚感尴尬。 盈盈低声道：“爹爹，你休说这等言语。冲哥自幼和华山岳小姐青梅竹马，一同长大，适才冲哥对岳小姐那样的神情，你难道还不明白么？”任我行笑道：“岳不群这伪君子是甚么东西？他的女儿又怎能和我的女儿相比？再说，这岳姑娘早已另外有了心上人，这等水性的女子，冲儿今后也不会再将她放在心上。小孩子时候的事，怎作得准？”盈盈道：“冲哥为了我大闹少林，天下知闻，又为了我而不愿重归华山，单此两件事，女儿已经心满意足，其余的话，不用提了。” 任我行知道女儿十分要强好胜，令狐冲既未提出求婚，此刻就不便多说，反正那也只是迟早间之事，当下又是哈哈一笑，说道：“很好，很好，终身大事，慢慢再谈。冲儿，打通左臂经脉的秘诀，我先传你。”将他招往一旁，将如何运气、如何通脉的法门说了，待听他复述一遍，记忆无误，又道：“你助我驱除寒毒，我教你通畅经脉，咱俩仍是两不亏欠。要令左臂经脉复元，须得七日时光，可不能躁进。”令狐冲应道：“是。” 任我行招招手，叫向问天和盈盈过来，说道：“冲儿，那日在孤山梅庄，我邀你入我日月神教，当时你一口拒却。今日情势已大不相同，老夫旧事重提，这一次，你再不会推三阻四了罢？”令狐冲踌躇未答，任我行又道：“你习了我的吸星大法之后，他日后患无穷，体内异种真气发作之时，当真是求生不能，求死不得。老夫说过的话，决无反悔，你若不入本教，纵然盈盈嫁你，我也不能传你化解之道。就算我女儿怪我一世，我也是这一句话。我们眼前大事，是去向东方不败算帐，你是不是随我们同去？” 令狐冲道：“教主莫怪，晚辈决计不入日月神教。”这两句话朗朗说来，斩钉截铁，绝无转圜余地。 任我行等三人一听，登时变色。向问天道：“那却是为何？你瞧不起日月神教吗？” 令狐冲指着雪地上十余具尸首，说道：“日月神教中尽是这些人，晚辈虽然不肖，却也羞与为伍。再说，晚辈已答应了定闲师太，要去当恒山派的掌门。” 任我行、向问天、盈盈三人脸上都露出怪异之极的神色。令狐冲不愿入教，并不如何出奇，而他最后这一句话当真是奇峰突起，三人简直不相信自己的耳朵。 任我行伸出食指，指着令狐冲的脸，突然哈哈大笑，直震得周遭树上的积雪簌簌而落。他笑了好一阵，才道：“你……你……你要去做尼姑？去做众尼姑的掌门人？” 令狐冲正色道：“不是做尼姑，是去做恒山派掌门人。定闲师太临死之时，亲口求我，晚辈若不答应，老师太死不瞑目。定闲师太是为我而死，晚辈明知此事势必骇人听闻，却是无法推却。” 任我行仍是笑声不绝。 盈盈道：“定闲师太是为了女儿而死的。”令狐冲向她瞧去，眼光中充满了感激之意。 任我行慢慢止住了笑声，道：“你是受人之托，忠人之事？”令狐冲道：“不错。定闲师太是受我之托，因此丧身。”任我行点头道：“那也好！我是老怪，你是小怪。不行惊世骇俗之事，何以成惊天动地之人？你去当大小尼姑的掌门人罢。你这就上恒山去？” 令狐冲摇头道：“不！晚辈要上少林寺去。” 任我行微微一奇，随即明白，道：“是了，你要将两个老尼姑的尸首送回恒山。”转头向盈盈道：“你要随冲儿一起上少林寺去罢？”盈盈道：“不，我随着爹爹。” 任我行道：“对啦，终不成你跟着他上恒山去做尼姑。”说着呵呵呵的笑了几声，笑声中却尽是苦涩之意。 令狐冲一拱到地，说道：“任教主，向大哥，盈盈，咱们就此别过。”转过身来，大踏步的去了。他走出十余步，回头说道：“任教主，你们何时上黑木崖去！” 任我行道：“这是本教教内之事，可不劳外人操心。”他知道令狐冲问这句话，意欲届时拔刀相助，共同对付东方不败，当即一口拒却。 令狐冲点了点头，从雪地里拾起一柄长剑，挂在腰间，转身而去。
