Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Embroidery
Yang Lianting said coldly: "Tong Baixiong, how could you be allowed to yell in this Chengde hall? Why didn't you kneel down when you saw the leader? How dare you not praise the leader's civil and military virtues?"
Tong Baixiong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and said: "When I made friends with Brother Dongfang, where did you come from? Back then, Brother Dongfang and I went from death to life, went through hardships together, and you, a brat, didn't survive. Got you to come talk to me?"
Linghu Chong turned his head to the side and could see clearly at this moment, but he saw his white hair loose, his silver beard stretched out, the muscles on his face pulled, his eyes wide open, the blood on his face had already congealed, his expression was terrifying.Both his hands and feet were handcuffed in iron cuffs, and he was dragging an extremely long iron chain. When he spoke of anger, he swung his hands, and the iron chain made a clanking sound.
Ren Woxing was kneeling and motionless at first, but when he heard the sound of iron chains, all kinds of hardships of being imprisoned at the bottom of the West Lake suddenly came to his mind, he could no longer restrain himself, his body trembled, and wanted to make trouble, but he heard Yang Lianting say: : "Dare to be so disrespectful in front of the leader, it is extremely arrogant. You secretly colluded with Ren Woxing, the anti-religious traitor, are you guilty?" Tong Baixiong said: "Ren leader is the former leader of our church. He is dying of serious illness and retired. How can you say you are a big traitor against the religion? Brother Dongfang, tell me clearly, how did the leader Ren rebel, how did you betray the religion?"
Yang Lianting said: "After Ren Woxing is cured, he should return to our religion, but he went to Shaolin Temple and hooked up with the leaders of Shaolin, Wudang and Songshan sects. Isn't that anti-religion and treason? Why did he Why don't you come to see the leader and respectfully listen to the instructions of the leader?"
Tong Baixiong laughed, and said: "Master Ren is the old boss of Dongfang Brothers, and his knowledge of martial arts may not be inferior to that of Dongfang Brothers. Dongfang Brothers, don't you think so?"
Yang Lianting shouted loudly: "Don't rely on the old to sell the old here. The leader treats his brothers generously and won't come to learn from you. If you repent deeply, you will explain your misdeeds to the brothers tomorrow in the main altar, and promise to make up for it in the future. No, if you are loyal to the leader, the leader may be able to forgive you and let you not die. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."
Tong Baixiong said with a smile: "The surname Tong is nearly eighty years old, and he is already impatient to live. What are you afraid of?"
Yang Lianting shouted: "Bring someone here!" The purple-shirted waiter replied: "Yes!" Only the sound of iron chains was heard, and more than ten people were escorted to the hall, including men, women, and several children.
When Tong Baixiong saw this man coming in, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily: "Yang Lianting, a man who works all his life, what are you doing with my children and grandchildren?" His shout shocked everyone. Humming in the eardrums.
Seeing Dongfang Bubai sitting in the middle, Linghu Chong shook his body, thinking: "This man's conscience has never been exhausted, seeing Tong Baixiong in such a hurry, he couldn't help but be moved."
Yang Lianting laughed and said, "What is the third lesson of the teacher's sermon? Read it and listen to it!" Tong Baixiong gave a heavy "bah" and did not answer.Yang Lianting said: "Everyone in the Tong family has listened, and whoever knows the third lesson of the leader's sermon should read it out and listen to it."
A ten-year-old boy said: "Wenchengwude, benevolence, righteousness, and wisdom The third lesson of the leader's sermons: 'Be ruthless when dealing with the enemy, cut grass and root out the roots, men, women, old and young, no one will be left behind.'" Yang Lianting said: "Very good, very good! Little baby, can you recite all the ten teachings of the leader?" The boy said: "You can recite them all. If you don't read the teachings of the leader for a day, you won't be able to eat or sleep. After reading the teachings of the leader, you can practice martial arts well. Make progress and be strong in battle." Yang Lianting said with a smile: "That's right, who taught you that?" The boy said: "Father taught you." Yang Lianting pointed to Tong Baixiong and said: "Who is he?" The boy said: "It's grandpa." Yang Lianting said: "Your grandpa didn't read the teachings of the leader, didn't listen to the teachings of the leader, and instead betrayed the leader, what do you think?" The boy said: "Grandpa is wrong. Everyone should read the teachings of the leader, listen The words of the priest."
Yang Lianting said to Tong Baixiong: "Your grandson is only a ten-year-old child, and he still understands the truth. How can you be so confused at your age?"
Tong Baixiong said: "I've only talked with Ren and Xiang for a while. They wanted me to betray the leader, but I didn't agree. Tong Baixiong said that one is one, and the other is two. He will never be sorry. People's business." Seeing that the whole family of more than ten members, elders and children, had been brought in, he couldn't help but soften his tone.
Yang Lianting said: "If you had said that earlier, you wouldn't have to bother. Do you realize your mistake now?"
Tong Baixiong said: "I am not wrong. I have not betrayed religion, let alone betrayed the leader."
Yang Lianting sighed, and said: "Since you refuse to admit your mistake, I can't save you. Take his family members away, and from today on, they will not be given a grain of rice or a sip of water." Several Zi Shan The waiter replied: "Yes!" It is enough to bet more than ten people.Tong Baixiong shouted: "Wait a minute!" and said to Yang Lianting: "Okay, I admit my mistake. It was my mistake, I beg the leader to forgive me." Although he admitted his mistake, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.
Yang Lianting sneered and said, "What did you say just now? What did you say that I was not born when I went through hardships with the leader, did you?" Tong Baixiong swallowed his anger and said, "I was wrong." Yang Lianting said: "Yes Are you wrong? It's easy to say a word like that. Why don't you kneel before the leader?"
Tong Baixiong said: "I was acquainted with the leader eight times back then. For decades, we have always been on equal terms." He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Brother Dongfang, you saw my brother suffer so much, why didn't you open your mouth and say a word? You want my brother?" It's very easy to kneel down to you. As long as you say a word, the old brother will die for you without frowning."
Dongfang Bubai sat motionless.For a while, the hall was silent, and everyone was looking at Dongfang Bubai, waiting for him to speak.But after a long time, he still didn't make a sound.
Tong Baixiong shouted: "Brother Dongfang, it has been difficult for me to see you for the past few years. You have lived in seclusion and practiced the "Sunflower Treasure" hard. Do you know that the old and the old are separated, and a catastrophe is just around the corner?" Dongfang Bubai still Is silent.Tong Baixiong said: "It doesn't matter if you kill me or torture me, but if you destroy a Sun Moon God Sect that has dominated the world for hundreds of years, you will become a sinner through the ages. Why don't you speak? You left after practicing kung fu Huo, you can't talk anymore, can you?"
Yang Lianting shouted: "Nonsense! Kneel down!" The two purple-shirted waiters yelled in unison, kicking Tong Baixiong's knees.
Only two bang bangs were heard, the legs of the two purple-shirted waiters were broken, and they fell out, spurting blood wildly from their mouths.
Tong Baixiong shouted: "Brother Dongfang, I want to hear a word from you, and I am willing to die. You have not said a word for more than three years, and the brothers in the sect have become suspicious." Yang Lianting said angrily, "Why are you suspicious?" Tong Baixiong Loudly said: "I suspect that the leader was plotted against by someone, and he was given dumb medicine. Why didn't he speak? Why didn't he speak?" Yang Lianting sneered and said, "Master Jinkou, how can you open it up for rebels like you? , take him down!" Eight waiters in purple shirts responded.
Tong Baixiong shouted: "Brother Dongfang, I want to see you, who made you unable to speak?" He waved his hands, waved the iron chain, dragged the iron chain with his feet, and snatched Dongfang Bubai.
Seeing his majesty and majesty, the eight purple shirt waiters did not dare to press in.Yang Lianting yelled: "Hold him, hold him!" The warriors of His Royal Highness only shouted loudly at the door, not daring to go to the hall.The sect has strict rules on neutrality, if the congregants take a step into Chengde Hall with weapons, it is a heinous capital crime.Dongfang Bubai stood up and wanted to turn into the apse.
Tong Baixiong shouted: "Brother Dongfang, don't go," quickened his pace.His feet were bound by iron shackles, he couldn't walk fast, he felt anxious and fell out.Taking advantage of the momentum, he made a few somersaults, then rushed forward, and he was only a hundred feet away from Dongfang Bubai.
Yang Lianting shouted: "Brave traitor, assassinate the leader! All warriors, hurry up to the palace and arrest the traitor."
Ren Woxing saw that Dongfang Bubai was dodging in a panic, but Tong Baixiong was still far away from him, so he couldn't catch up with him for a while, so he took out three copper coins from his bosom, and threw them towards Dongfang Bubai.Yingying shouted: "Do it!"
Linghu Chong jumped up and pulled out the long sword from the bandage.Xiang Wentian pulled out the weapon from the wooden stick on the stretcher, handed it over to Ren Woxing and Yingying, and then pulled hard, the rope under the stretcher turned out to be a soft whip.The four of them started their lightness kung fu and rushed forward.
He only heard Dongfang Bubai yell "Ah", a copper coin was hit on his forehead, and blood ran down his forehead.When Ren Woxing fired the three copper coins, he was far away from him, and when he hit his forehead, he had exhausted all his strength and only suffered some minor skin injuries.But Dongfang Bubai claims to be the best in martial arts in the world, so it's unreasonable that he can't even avoid such a copper coin.
Ren Woxing laughed loudly and shouted, "This Dongfang Bubai is a fake."
Xiang Wentian slapped Yang Lianting's feet with a whip, and immediately dragged him down.
Dongfang Bubai covered his face and ran wildly.Linghu Chong pierced him diagonally, stopped his way, pointed his long sword, and shouted: "Stop!" How could Dongfang Bubai not stop his footing as he ran so fast, he slammed into the point of the sword.Linghu Chong hastily retracted his sword, and lightly slapped out with his left palm, Dongfang Bubai fell straight to the sky.
Ren Woxing grabbed Dongfang Bubai by the back of the neck, lifted him to the entrance of the hall, and said loudly: "Listen, everyone, this guy is pretending to be Dongfang Bubai and messing up my Sun Moon God Sect. Everyone has seen his tricks clearly. Mouth."
But seeing this person's facial features and appearance, they are very similar to Dongfang Bubai, but at this moment his expression is anxious, which is completely different from Dongfang Bubai's usual calm and confident demeanor.All the warriors looked at each other in blank dismay, all of them were speechless in shock.
Ren Woxing said loudly: "What's your name? Don't say it well, I'll smash your head to pieces."
The man was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Small... small... people... people... call... call... call..."
Xiang Wentian had already touched Yang Lianting's acupuncture points, pulled him to the entrance of the hall, and shouted: "What's the name of this man?"
Yang Lianting said proudly: "What are you, worthy of asking me? I know you are Xiang Wentian, an anti-religious traitor. The Sun Moon God Sect expelled you a long time ago, why did you come back to Heimuya?"
Xiang Tian sneered and said: "I came up to Heimuya just to deal with you traitor!" With a click of his right palm, he cut off the calf bone of his left leg.Who knows that Yang Lianting's martial arts are mediocre, but he is extremely tough, he shouted: "You will kill me if you have the guts, what kind of a hero is this torturing me?" Xiang Wentian smiled and said: "Is there such a cheap thing?" The hand raised and the palm fell, and with a clicking sound, the calf bone of his right leg was cut off again, and a pile of his left hand knocked him to the ground.
Yang Lianting's feet landed on the ground, and the broken bone on his calf was about to come up. One could imagine the severe pain, but he didn't even groan.
Xiang Wentian raised his thumb and praised: "Good man! I won't torture you anymore." He lightly punched the fake Dongfang Bubai in the stomach and asked, "What's your name?" That man " "Ah", shouted, and said: "Little... small... person... name... named... Bao... Bao... Bao..." Xiang Wentian said, "Your surname is Bao, isn't it?" The man said : "Yes... yes... yes... Bao... Bao... Bao..." After stammering for a long time, he didn't say what Bao's name was.
Immediately, everyone smelled a bad smell, and saw water flowing out from under his trousers.
Ren Woxing said: "It's not too late, let's go find Dongfang Bubai!" Mentioning the man surnamed Bao, he said loudly: "You all have seen that this person is pretending to be Dongfang Bubai and disrupting my teaching. We are going to Find out the truth. I am your real teacher, I can do it, do you recognize it?"
All the warriors are young people in their twenties, they have never seen him before, so they don't know him.Ever since Dongfang Bubai took over as leader, his followers have figured out his intentions and told him not to take over as leader in advance, so these warriors have never even heard of the name of our leader. It is like Dongfang Bubai being the leader.All the warriors looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to answer.
Shangguan Yun said loudly: "Dongfang Bubai was probably killed by Yang Lianting and the others long ago. This leader Ren is the leader of our sect. From now on, everyone must be loyal to leader Ren." Saying this, he turned to Ren Woxing Kneeling down, he said: "My subordinates will see the leader Ren, the leader will rule the world forever!"
All the warriors recognized that Shangguan Yun was a very high-ranking person in the church, and saw that he paid homage to Ren Woxing, and saw that the Eastern leader was indeed a fake, and that the powerful Yang Lianting had his legs broken and thrown on the ground, not to mention nothing With the power of resistance, several people knelt down to Ren Woxing and said: "The leader will rule the rivers and lakes forever!" The rest of the warriors knelt down one after another.Everyone said the cross of "the leader will rule the world for thousands of years and forever", everyone said it several times every day, and it was so fluent.
Ren Woxing laughed loudly, and for a moment, he was full of ambition, and said: "You strictly guard the passage up and down the Black Wood Cliff, and no one is allowed to go up and down the cliff." All the warriors agreed in unison.At this time, Xiang Wentian had already called the Zishan waiter to unshackle Tong Baixiong.
Concerned about the safety of Dongfang Bubai, Tong Baixiong grabbed Yang Lianting by the back of the neck and shouted: "You...you...you must have killed my brother Dongfang, you...you..." Emotionally, his throat choked, and he said two lines Tears will flow down.
Yang Lianting closed his eyes and ignored him.Tong Baixiong slapped him across the face and shouted: "What's wrong with my Dongfang brother?" .Tong Baixiong shook him desperately, Yang Lianting's eyes turned white, as if he was dead.
Ren Woxing said to a group of waiters in purple shirts: "Who knows the whereabouts of Dongfang Bubai, report it as soon as possible, and you will be rewarded." He asked three questions, but no one answered.
In an instant, Ren Woxing felt cold in his heart.He was imprisoned at the bottom of West Lake for more than ten years. Apart from practicing kung fu, he imagined how to torture Dongfang Bubai after he escaped from the trap.Unexpectedly, today when I came to Heimuya, what I found was a fake.Obviously Dongfang Bubai is no longer alive, otherwise, with his wit and martial arts, how could Yang Lianting be allowed to act so recklessly and order someone to impersonate him?And what's the point of torturing Yang Lianting and this bastard named Bao?
He looked at dozens of waiters in purple shirts scattered around the hall, and saw that some of them looked very frightened, some were bewildered, and some were faintly cunning.When Ren Woxing was disappointed, he became extremely irritable, and shouted: "You guys, knowing that Dongfang Bubai is a fake, but you are cooperating with Yang Lianting to deceive and teach my brothers, you are all guilty!" There were four soft pats, palms everywhere, and the four waiters in purple shirts died without even humming.The rest of the waiters exclaimed in horror and fled in all directions.Ren Woxing laughed grimly and said, "I want to escape! Where are we going?" He picked up the iron chains that had been untied from Tong Baixiong's body, and threw them into the crowd, blood and flesh flew all over the place, and seven or eight people were killed.Ren Woxing laughed loudly and shouted, "No one who follows Dongfang Bubai will survive!"
Seeing that her father behaved differently, Yingying became very mad, she shouted: "Daddy!" and went to hold his hand.
Suddenly, one of the attendants came out, knelt down and said, "I want to report to the leader, the Eastern Sect... Dongfang Bubai is not dead!"
Ren Woxing was overjoyed, rushed over and grabbed his shoulder, and asked: "Dongfang Bubai is not dead?" It was so huge that it crushed his shoulder bones.Ren Woxing shook him a few times, but the man never woke up.He turned his head and shouted to the waiters: "Where is Dongfang Bubai? Hurry up and lead the way! It's only a moment late, and everyone will be killed."
A waiter knelt down and said, "I would like to report to the Hierarch, the place where Dongfang Bubai lives is very secret, only Yang Lianting knows how to open the secret door. Let's wake up this anti-religious traitor surnamed Yang, he can lead the Hierarch there. "
Ren Woxing said: "Get cold water quickly!"
These Zishan waiters are very clever, immediately five of them rushed out of the hall, but only three of them came back, each brought a basin of cold water, the other two fled away.Three basins of cold water were poured on Yang Lianting's head.He slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
Xiang Wentian said: "My surname is Yang, I respect you as a tough guy, and I won't torture you. At this moment, the passage up and down the Blackwood Cliff has long been cut off, and Dongfang Bubai can't escape unless he has wings. Take us to find He, a man, why bother to hide his head and show his tail? Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to make a quick conclusion?”
Yang Lianting sneered and said, "The leader of the East is invincible. If you dare to die, that would be the best thing. Alright, I'll take you to see him."
Xiang Wentian said to Shangguan Yun: "Brother Shangguan, the two of us will be bearers for a while, and carry this guy to see Dongfang Bubai." He grabbed Yang Lianting and put him on the stretcher.Shangguan Yun said: "Yes!" He and Xiang Wentian lifted the stretcher.Yang Lianting said: "Go inside!"
Xiang Wentian and Shangguan Yun carried him to lead the way.Ren Woxing, Linghu Chong, Yingying and Tong Baixiong followed behind.
A group of people walked to the back of Chengde Hall, passed a long corridor, arrived in a garden, and walked into a small stone house in the west.Yang Lianting said: "Push the wall on the left." Tong Baixiong stretched out his hand and pushed, the wall turned out to be alive, revealing a door.There is still an iron gate inside.Yang Lianting took out a bunch of keys from his side, handed them to Tong Baixiong, opened the iron gate, and there was a tunnel inside. Everyone descended from the tunnel.A few oil lamps were lit on both sides of the tunnel, and the lights were as dim as beans, and the place was gloomy.Ren Woxing thought to himself: "This fellow Dongfang Bubai imprisoned me at the bottom of the West Lake, he didn't know that the retribution would not be good, he himself was also in a cage. This tunnel is not much better than the one in Gushan Meizhuang." After turning a few turns, the front suddenly opened up, exposing the sky.Everyone suddenly smelled the fragrance of flowers, and their hearts were refreshed. Coming out of the tunnel, one finds oneself in a very exquisite small garden, with red plums and green bamboos, green pines and green cypresses, arranged with great ingenuity, several pairs of mandarin ducks swim leisurely in the pond, and there are four white cranes beside the pond.Everyone never expected to see such beautiful scenery, and they were all secretly amazed.Bypassing a pile of rockery, a large flower garden is full of crimson and pink roses, competing for beauty and beauty. Yingying turned her head to look at Linghu Chong, seeing his smiling face, she was very happy, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think this place is good?" Linghu Chong smiled and said: "After we drive Dongfang Bubai away, I will live here with you. In the past few months, you taught me how to play the piano, that's called happiness." Yingying said: "Aren't you lying to me?" Linghu Chong said: "I'm afraid I can't learn it, mother-in-law, please don't be offended." Yingying scoffed With a sound, I laughed. The two of them watched the beautiful scenery, then left behind, saw that Xiang Wentian and Shangguan Yun carried Yang Lianting into an elegant small house, Linghu Chong and Yingying hurriedly followed in.As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a strong fragrance of flowers.I saw a picture of a lady hanging in the room, in which three beauties were painted, and an embroidered brocade cushion was spread on the chair.Linghu Chong thought to himself: "This is a woman's boudoir, why does Dongfang Bubai live here? Yes, this is the residence of his concubine. He lives in a gentle village, and he doesn't want to deal with school affairs anymore." Only one person in the inner room could be heard saying: "Brother Lian, who did you bring with you?" The voice was sharp, but the voice was thick, it seemed to be a man, but also a woman. Yang Lianting said: "It's your old friend, he must see you." The man in the inner room said: "Why did you bring him here? Only you can come in here. I don't like to see anyone except you." The last two sentences were said in a coquettish voice, obviously a woman's voice, But the voice was clearly that of a man. Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, Yingying, Tong Baixiong, Shangguan Yun, etc. are all familiar with Dongfang Bubai, the voice is definitely his, but it's like pinching his throat to learn to sing Huadan, charming and contrived, but it doesn't sound like a joke.Everyone looked at each other in blank amazement. Yang Lianting sighed: "No, if I don't bring him here, he will kill me. How can I die without seeing you?" The man in the room screamed: "Who is so bold and dares to bully you? Do you let me do it? Tell him to come in!" Ren Woxing heard that he guessed it was me based on just one sentence, and couldn't help admiring his intelligence, and made a gesture to signal everyone to go in.Shangguan Yun raised the brocade door curtain embroidered with a cluster of peonies, carried Yang Lianting in, and everyone followed. The room is full of flowers, and the powder is fragrant. There is a person sitting beside a dressing table in the east, wearing a pink shirt, holding an embroidery frame in his left hand, and an embroidery needle in his right hand. He raised his head with a look of surprise on his face. . But the look of surprise on this person's face was far inferior to that of Ren Woxing and others.Except for Linghu Chong, everyone recognized this person as Dongfang Bubai who had usurped the position of leader of the Sun Moon God Sect and had been known as the number one martial artist in the world for more than ten years.But now he has shaved off his beard and put on powder on his face. The clothes on his body are not masculine or feminine, and the color is so enchanting, even if he wears them on Yingying, it looks too delicate and dazzling. Such an earth-shattering and powerful martial arts geek actually hides in the boudoir and embroiders! Ren Woxing was originally full of anger, but now he couldn't help laughing, and shouted: "Dongfang Bubai, are you pretending to be crazy?" Dongfang Bubai said sharply: "Sure enough, it's the leader Ren! You're finally here! Brother Lian, you...you...what's the matter? Did you get hurt by him?" He rushed to Yang Lianting's side and hugged him , gently on the bed.Dongfang Bubai had an expression of infinite love and compassion on his face, he asked repeatedly: "Is the pain severe?" He said again: "It's just a broken leg bone, it's nothing serious, don't worry, I'll fix it for you right away." Slowly Remove the shoes and socks for him, pull the fragrant embroidered quilt, and cover him, just like a virtuous wife serving her husband. Everyone couldn't help looking at each other in amazement, everyone wanted to laugh, but the situation was too weird, but they couldn't laugh.The beaded curtains and brocade curtains and the splendid embroidery room are actually full of eerie ghostly aura. Dongfang Bubai took out a green silk handkerchief from his side, and slowly wiped the sweat and mud off Yang Lianting's forehead.Yang Lianting said angrily: "The enemy is in front of me, what are you doing with a mother-in-law like me? You can defeat the enemy, and then it's not too late to make out with me." Dongfang Bubai smiled and said: "Yes, yes! Don't be angry, your leg hurts It's terrible, isn't it? It hurts." Ren Woxing, Linghu Chong and others have never seen or heard of such a strange thing.There are many places where male molesters exist, but Dongfang Bubai is a dignified leader, why would he be willing to pretend to be a woman and pretend to be a concubine?This man must be crazy.Yang Lianting spoke harshly to him, but he looked very "gentle and gentle", everyone was surprised and a little disgusted. Tong Baixiong couldn't help stepping forward, and shouted: "Brother Dongfang, you... what are you doing?" Dongfang Bubai raised his head, with a gloomy face, and asked, "You are also among those who hurt my brother Lian. Do you?" Tong Baixiong said: "Why are you being manipulated by Yang Lianting? He asked a bastard to pretend to be you, giving orders at will, and doing anything wrong, do you know?" Dongfang Bubai said: "Of course I know. Brother Lian is for my own good and is considerate to me. He knows that I don't care about teaching affairs, so what's wrong with doing the work for me?" Tong Baixiong pointed at Yang Lianting and said, "This man wants to kill him. Do you know me too?" Dongfang Bubai shook his head slowly, and said, "I don't know. Since Brother Lian wanted to kill you, it must be your fault. Then why didn't you let him do it?" Tong Baixiong was startled, raised his head, and laughed out loud, full of grief and indignation, he laughed for a while before saying: "If he wants to kill me, you let him kill me, right?" Dongfang Bubai said: "Whatever Brother Lian likes to do, I have to do it for him. He is the only one who really treats me well in this world, and I only treat him well. Brother Tong, we have always been friends through life, but You shouldn't offend my Brother Lian." Tong Baixiong's face was flushed with swelling, and he said loudly: "I also thought that you lost your mind and went crazy. It turns out that you understand very well in your heart that we are good friends and have always been close friends." Dongfang Bubai said: "It is exactly It's nothing if you offend me. You can't offend Brother Lian." Tong Baixiong said loudly, "I've already offended him, what are you going to do? This traitor wants to kill me, but he may not be able to do so." Dongfang Bubai stretched out his hand to gently stroke Yang Lianting's hair, and said softly: "Brother Lian, do you want to kill him?" Yang Lianting said angrily, "Hurry up! Mother-in-law, it's boring." Dongfang Bubai laughed "Yes!" Turning his head to Tong Baixiong, he said, "Brother Tong, today we have cut off our ties, so don't blame me." Before Tong Baixiong came here, he had already taken a single saber from His Royal Highness's warrior hand, immediately took two steps back, held the saber in his hand, and set up a door.He knew Dongfang Bubai's kung fu is very good, even though he was crazy at the moment, he didn't dare to ignore him in the slightest. Dongfang Bubai sneered coldly, and sighed: "This is really embarrassing! Brother Tong, I think that when I was in Taihang Mountain, the Ludong Seven Tigers attacked me. At that time, I failed to practice, and they suddenly attacked me. He was seriously injured, seeing his life dying in an instant, if you hadn't risked his life to save him, how could a brother live to this day?" Tong Baixiong snorted, and said: "You still remember these old things." Dongfang Bubai said: "I Why don't you remember? When I took over the power of the Sun Moon God Sect, Elder Luo of Zhuque Hall was dissatisfied, and you were the one who killed Elder Luo with a single knife. Since then, no one in this sect has dared to say anything different The credit you have for your support is really not small." Tong Baixiong said angrily: "It's only my fault that I was stupid back then!" Dongfang Bubai shook his head and said: "You are not stupid, but you have a deep sense of loyalty to me. I have known you since I was eleven years old. At that time, my family was poor, and I had been helped by you for many years. After my parents passed away, there was no way to bury them. You did the cooking for me." Tong Baixiong waved his left hand and said, "Why bring up the past?" Dongfang Bubai sighed, "That has to be mentioned. Brother Tong, it's not that a brother is heartless and disregards the past. Kindness, I only blame you for offending my Brother Lian. He wants to take your life, I can't do anything." Tong Baixiong shouted: "That's it, that's it!" All of a sudden, everyone felt a pink mass flashing in front of their eyes, as if Dongfang Bubai's body moved.But with a well-heard sound, Tong Baixiong fell to the ground with a single knife in his hand, and swayed a few times following his body. Tong Baixiong opened his mouth wide, suddenly he threw himself forward, prostrated himself on the ground, and remained motionless for a while.Although it was only for a split second when he fell, Ren Woxing and other experts could see clearly that there was a small red spot on the center of his eyebrows, on the left and right temples, and on the four big acupoints under his nose, with slight blood oozing out. It was stabbed by Dongfang Bubai with an embroidery needle in his hand. Under the shock of Ren Woxing and others, he couldn't help but retreated a few steps.Linghu Chong pulled Yingying with his left hand and stood in front of her.There was silence in the room for a while, and no one took a breath. Ren Woxing slowly drew out his long sword, and said: "Dongfang Bubai, congratulations that you have practiced the martial arts in the "Sunflower Treasure"." Dongfang Bubai said: "Master Ren, this "Sunflower Treasure" was passed on to you Mine. I always think about your benefits." Ren Woxing sneered: "Really? So you locked me at the bottom of the West Lake and taught me not to see the sun." Dongfang Bubai said: "I didn't kill you, yes No? As long as I ask the four friends in Jiangnan not to bring you water, can you survive ten days and a half?" Ren Woxing said, "In this way, you treat me pretty well?" Dongfang Bubai said, "Just Yes. I will let you live your life in Hangzhou West Lake. As the saying goes, there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. The scenery of West Lake is famous all over the world, and Gushan Meizhuang is the best place for the scenery of West Lake.” Ren Woxing laughed, and said: "So you let me spend my whole life in the dark prison at the bottom of the West Lake, thank you very much." Dongfang Bubai sighed, and said: "Master Ren, I will always remember all the benefits you have treated me. I am in the Sun Moon God Sect, and I was originally a deputy incense master under the elder seat of the Fenglei Hall. My position, even the most precious treasure of our religion, the "Sunflower Canon", was passed on to me, and I was designated to succeed you as the leader of this religion in the future. This kindness and virtue, Dongfang Bubai will never forget." Linghu Chong glanced at Tong Baixiong's body underground, and thought: "Just now you kept praising Elder Tong for his benefits to you, and suddenly you killed him. Now you want to repeat the old trick on Master Ren. He won't Fuck you." But Dongfang Bubai's attack was really too quick, like lightning, like thunder, without any warning in advance, it was really terrifying.Linghu Chong lifted the long sword and pointed it at his chest. As soon as his limbs moved slightly, he would immediately stab with the sword. Only by attacking first can he be killed. If he gets the upper hand, another person in the room will die up.Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, Shangguanyun, and Yingying all stared at Dongfang Bubai intently, preventing him from violently attacking him. I only heard Dongfang Bubai say again: "At the beginning, I only wanted to be the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, and I wanted to rule the world forever, so I tried my best to seek your position and cut off your wings. Brother Xiang, this plan of mine , I can’t hide it from you. Among the Sun Moon God Sect, apart from the leader Ren and me, Dongfang Bubai, you must be regarded as a talent.” Holding the soft whip in his hand, Xiang Wentian held his breath, not daring to distract himself from answering. Dongfang Bubai sighed, and said: "When I first became the sect leader, I was very high-spirited. Talking about Wencheng Wude, Zhongxing Shengjiao, I was really shameless. Slowly realized the wonderful meaning of life. After a few years of internal cultivation, I finally understood the essentials of the transformation of heaven and man, and the growth of all things." Everyone heard him say these words in a high-pitched voice, and gradually their palms became sweaty. This man speaks in an orderly manner and his mind is very clear, but this strange appearance of neither man nor woman makes people feel more and more creepy the more they look at it. Dongfang Bubai's eyes slowly turned to Yingying's face, and asked: "Miss Ren, how have I treated you these past few years?" Yingying said: "You have treated me very well." Dongfang Bubai sighed again, faintly He said: "It's not very good, but I have always envied you. A woman born as a woman is already a hundred times luckier than a stinky man, not to mention you are so charming and young. If I can change places with you And here, let alone the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, even the emperor Lao Tzu, I will not do it." Linghu Chong said with a smile: "If you change places with Miss Ren, it will not be easy for me to fall in love with you, an old monster!" Ren Woxing was shocked when he heard him say that. Dongfang Bubai stared at him, his eyebrows gradually raised, his face turned blue, and he said: "Who are you? How dare you speak to me like this, you really have the guts." These few words were spoken in an extremely sharp voice, and he looked extremely angry. Linghu Chong knew that the crisis was imminent, but he couldn't help laughing and said, "Whether it's a man with eyebrows or a charming girl, what I hate the most is the old lady who is a man disguised as a woman." Dongfang Bubai said sharply and angrily: "I ask you, who are you?" Linghu Chong said, "My name is Linghu Chong." Dongfang Bubai's anger was suppressed, he smiled slightly, and said: "Ah! You are Linghu Chong. I wanted to see you a long time ago. I heard that Miss Ren fell in love with you and even cut off her head because of you. I don't know why. A handsome gentleman. Hmph, I don't think so, compared to my brother Lian, he is far behind." Linghu Chong said with a smile: "It's not good to be a servant, it's better to be single-minded. Although this Yang Jun is handsome, it's a pity that he likes flirting too much and shows mercy everywhere..." Dongfang Bubai suddenly yelled: "You...you bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?" His face was flushed, and suddenly the pink figure flickered, and the embroidery needle rushed towards Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong said those two words to make him angry, but when he saw his sleeves swaying slightly, he swiped his sword and stabbed towards his throat.This sword thrust was extremely fast, if Dongfang Bubai didn't shrink back, the sharp sword would have pierced through his throat immediately.But at this moment, Linghu Chong only felt a slight pain in his left cheek, and followed the long sword in his hand to swing to the left. But it turned out that Dongfang Bubai's strike was so fast, it was unbelievable, in that instant, he stabbed Linghu Chong's face with the needle, then retracted his arm, and blocked Linghu Chong's sword with the needle.Fortunately, Linghu Chong's sword was also extremely fast, and the enemy had to be saved, and Dongfang Bubai attacked the enemy in a rage, he couldn't help being a little impulsive, so the needle was missed and missed. His key point.The embroidery needle in Dongfang Bubai's hand was no more than an inch long, it could almost be blown by the wind, it wouldn't sink in the water, it was able to swing Linghu Chong's long sword straight away, the level of martial arts was really inconceivable. Linghu Chong was shocked, knowing that today he met a powerful enemy he had never seen in his life, as long as he gave the opponent a chance to use his hands and feet, his life would be lost immediately, and he immediately swiped and stabbed four times, all pointing at the opponent's vital points . Dongfang Bubai let out a "Yi", and praised: "The sword skill is very high." With a swipe to the left, a swipe to the right, a swipe up, and a swipe down, all the four swords that Linghu charged were thrown away.Linghu Chong stared intently at his attack, the embroidery needle flicked around, and there was no flaw in his body, at this moment, he was absolutely not allowed to stab back, he shouted loudly, and slashed straight at the head with the long sword.Dongfang Bubai's right thumb and forefinger grasped the embroidery needle and swung it upwards to block the incoming sword, so the long sword couldn't cut it down. 令狐冲手臂微感酸麻，但见红影闪处，似有一物向自己左目戳来。此刻既已不及挡架，又不及闪避，百忙中长剑颤动，也向东方不败的左目急刺，竟是两败俱伤的打法。 这一下剑刺敌目，已是迹近无赖，殊非高手可用的招数，但令狐冲所学的“独狐剑法”本无招数，他为人又是随随便便，素来不以高手自居，危急之际更不暇细思，但觉左边眉心微微一痛，东方不败已跳了开去，避开了他这一剑。 令狐冲知道自己左眉已为他绣花针所刺中，幸亏他要闪避自己长剑这一刺，绣花针才失了准头，否则一只眼睛已给他刺瞎了，骇异之余，长剑便如疾风骤雨般狂刺乱劈，不容对方缓出手来还击一招。东方不败左拨右挡，兀自好整以暇的啧啧连赞：“好剑法，好剑法！” 任我行和向问天见情势不对，一挺长剑，一挥软鞭，同时上前夹击。这当世三大高手联手出战，势道何等厉害，但东方不败两根手指拈着一枚绣花针，在三人之间穿来插去，趋退如电，竟没半分败象。上官云拔出单刀，冲上助战，以四敌一。斗到酣处，猛听得上官云大叫一声，单刀落地，一个筋斗翻了出去，双手按住右目，这只眼睛已被东方不败刺瞎。 令狐冲见任我行和向问天二人攻势凌厉，东方不败已缓不出手来向自己攻击，当下展动长剑，尽往他身上各处要害刺去。但东方不败的身形如鬼如魅，飘忽来去，直似轻烟。令狐冲的剑尖剑锋总是和他身子差着数寸。 忽听得向问天“啊”的一声叫，跟着令狐冲也是“嘿”的一声，二人身上先后中针。任我行所练的“吸星大法”功力虽深，可是东方不败身法快极，难与相触，二来所使兵刃是一根绣花针，无法从针上吸他内力。又斗片刻，任我行也是“啊”的一声叫，胸口、喉头都受到针刺，幸好其时令狐冲攻得正急，东方不败急谋自救，以致一针刺偏了准头，另一针刺得虽准，却只深入数分，未能伤敌。 四人围攻东方不败，未能碰到他一点衣衫，而四人都受了他的针刺。盈盈在旁观战，越来越担心：“不知他针上是否喂有毒药，要是有毒，那可不堪设想！”但见东方不败身子越转越快，一团红影滚来滚去。任我行、向问天、令狐冲连声吆喝，声音中透着又是愤怒，又是惶急。三人兵刃上都是贯注了内力，风声大作。东方不败却不发出半点声息。 盈盈暗想：“我若加入混战，只有阻手阻脚，帮不了忙，那可如何是好？看来东方不败以一敌三，还能取胜。”一瞥眼间，只见杨莲亭已坐在床上，凝神观斗，满脸关切之情。盈盈心念一动，慢慢移步走向床边，突然左手短剑一起，嗤的一声，刺在杨莲亭右肩。杨莲亭猝不及防，大叫一声。盈盈跟着又是一剑，斩在他的大腿之上。 杨莲亭这时已知她用意，是要自己呼叫出声，分散东方不败的心神，强忍疼痛，竟再也不哼一声。盈盈怒道：“你叫不叫？我把你手指一根根的斩了下来。”长剑一颤，斩落了他右手的一根手指。不料杨莲亭十分硬气，虽然伤口剧痛，却没发出半点声息。 但杨莲亭的第一声呼叫已传入东方不败耳中。他斜眼见到盈盈站在床边，正在挥剑折磨杨莲亭，骂道：“死丫头！”一团红云陡向盈盈扑去。 盈盈急忙侧头缩身，也不知是否能避得开东方不败刺来的这一针。令狐冲、任我行双剑自东方不败背上疾戳。向问天刷的一鞭，向杨莲亭头上砸去。东方不败不顾自己生死，反手一针，刺入了向问天胸口。 向问天只觉全身一麻，软鞭落地，便在此时，令狐冲和任我行两柄剑都插入了东方不败后心。东方不败身子一颤，扑在杨莲亭身上。 任我行大喜，拔出剑来，以剑尖指住他后颈，喝道：“东方不败，今日终于……终于教你落在我手里。”剧斗之余，说话时气喘不已。 盈盈惊魂未定，双腿发软，身子摇摇欲坠。令狐冲抢过去扶住，只见细细一行鲜血，从她左颊流了下来。盈盈却道：“你可受了不少伤。”伸袖在令狐冲脸上一抹，只见袖上斑斑点点，都是鲜血。令狐冲转头问向问天：“受伤不重罢？”向问天苦笑道：“死不了！” 东方不败背上两处伤口中鲜血狂涌，受伤极重，不住呼叫：“莲弟，莲弟，这批奸人折磨你，好不狠毒！” 杨莲亭怒道：“你往日自夸武功盖世，为甚么杀不了这几个奸贼？”东方不败道：“我已……我……”杨莲亭怒道：“你甚么？”东方不败道：“我已尽力而为，他们……武功都强得很。”突然身子一晃，滚倒在地。任我行怕他乘机跃起，一剑斩在他左腿之上。 东方不败苦笑道：“任教主，终于是你胜了，是我败了。”任我行哈哈大笑，道：“你这大号，可得改一改罢？”东方不败摇头道：“那也不用改。东方不败既然落败，也不会再活在世上。”他本来说话声音极尖，此刻却变得低沉起来，又道：“倘若单打独斗，你是不能打败我的。” 任我行微一犹豫，说道：“不错，你武功比我高，我很是佩服。”东方不败道：“令狐冲，你剑法极高，但若单打独斗，也打不过我。”令狐冲道：“正是。其实我们便是四人联手，也打你不过，只不过你顾着那姓杨的，这才分心受伤。阁下武功极高，不愧称得'天下第一'四字，在下十分钦佩。” 东方不败微微一笑，说道：“你二位能这么说，足见男子汉大丈夫气概。唉，冤孽，冤孽，我练那《葵花宝典》，照着宝典上的秘方，自宫练气，炼丹服药，渐渐的胡子没有了，说话声音变了，性子也变了。我从此不爱女子，把七个小妾都杀了，却……却把全副心意放在杨莲亭这须眉男子身上。倘若我生为女儿身，那就好了。任教主，我……我就要死了，我求你一件事，请……你瞧在我这些年来善待你大小姐的份上……” 任我行问道：“甚么事？”东方不败道：“请你饶了杨莲亭一命，将他逐下黑木崖去便是。”任我行笑道：“我要将他千刀万剁，分一百天凌迟处死，今天割一根手指，明天割半根脚趾。” 东方不败怒叫：“你……你好狠毒！”猛地纵起，向任我行扑去。 他重伤之余，身法已远不如先前迅捷，但这一扑之势仍是凌厉惊人。任我行长剑直刺，从他前胸通到后背。便在此时，东方不败手指一弹，绣花针飞了出去，插入了任我行右目。 任我行撤剑后跃，呯的一声，背脊撞在墙上，喀喇喇一响，一座墙被他撞塌了半边。盈盈忙抢前瞧父亲右眼，只见那枚绣花针正插在瞳仁之中。幸好其时东方不败手劲已衰，否则这针直贯入脑，不免性命难保，但这只眼珠恐怕终不免是废了。 盈盈伸指去抓绣花针的针尾，但钢针甚短，露出在外者不过一分，实无着手处。她转过身来，拾起东方不败抛下的绣花绷子，抽了一根丝线，款款轻送，穿入针鼻，拉住丝线，向外一拔。任我行大叫一声。那绣花针带着几滴鲜血，挂在丝线之下。 任我行怒极，飞腿猛向东方不败的尸身上踢去。尸身飞将起来，呯的一声响，撞在杨莲亭头上。任我行盛怒之下，这一腿踢出时使足了劲力，东方不败和杨莲亭两颗脑袋一撞，尽皆头骨碎破，脑浆迸裂。 任我行得诛大仇，重夺日月神教教主之位，却也由此而失了一只眼睛，一时喜怒交迸，仰天长笑，声震屋瓦。但笑声之中，却也充满了愤怒之意。 上官云道：“恭喜教主，今日诛却大逆。从此我教在教主庇荫之下，扬威四海。教主千秋万载，一统江湖。” 任我行笑骂：“胡说八道！甚么千秋万载？”忽然觉得倘若真能千秋万载，一统江湖，确是人生至乐，忍不住又哈哈大笑。这一次大笑，那才是真的称心畅怀，志得意满。 向问天给东方不败一针刺中左乳下穴道，全身麻了好一会，此刻四肢才得自如，也道：“恭喜教主，贺喜教主！”任我行笑道：“这一役诛奸复位，你实占首功。”转头向令狐冲道：“冲儿的功劳自然也不在小。” 令狐冲见到盈盈皎白如玉的脸颊上一道殷红的血痕，想起适才的恶战，兀自心有余悸，说道：“若不是盈盈去对付杨莲亭，要杀东方不败，可当真不易。”顿了一顿，又道：“幸好他绣花针上没喂毒。” 盈盈身子一颤，低声道：“别说啦。这不是人，是妖怪。唉，我小时候，他常抱着我去山上采果子游玩，今日却变得如此下场。” 任我行伸手到东方不败衣衫袋中，摸出一本薄薄的旧册页，随手一翻，其中密密麻麻的写满了字。他握在手中扬了扬，说道：“这本册子，便是《葵花宝典》了，上面注明，'欲练神功，引刀自宫'，老夫可不会没了脑子，去干这等傻事，哈哈，哈哈，……”随即沉吟道：“可是宝典上所载的武功实在厉害，任何学武之人，一见之后决不能不动心。那时候幸好我已学得'吸星大法'，否则跟着去练这宝典上的害人功夫，却也难说。”他在东方不败尸身上又踢了一脚，笑道：“饶你奸诈似鬼，也猜不透老夫传你《葵花宝典》的用意。你野心勃勃，意存跋扈，难道老夫瞧不出来吗？哈哈，哈哈！” 令狐冲心中一寒：“原来任教主以《葵花宝典》传他，当初便就没怀善意。两人尔虞我诈，各怀机心。”见任我行右目中不绝流出鲜血，张嘴狂笑，显得十分的面目狰狞，心中更感到一阵惊怖。 任我行伸手到东方不败胯下一摸，果然他的两枚睾丸已然割去，笑道：“这部《葵花宝典》要是教太监去练，那就再好不过。”将那《葵花宝典》放在双掌中一搓，功力到处，一本原已十分陈旧的册页登时化作碎片。他双手一扬，许多碎片随风吹到了窗外。 盈盈吁了一口气道：“这种害人东西，毁了最好！”令狐冲笑道：“你怕我去练么？”盈盈满脸通红，啐了一口，道：“说话就没半点正经。” 盈盈取出金创药，替父亲及上官云敷了眼上的伤。各人脸上被刺的针孔，一时也难以计数。盈盈对镜一照，只见左颊上划了一道血痕，虽然极细，伤愈之后，只怕仍要留下些微痕迹，不由得郁郁不乐。 令狐冲道：“你占尽了天下的好处，未免为鬼神所妒，脸上小小破一点相，那便后福无穷。”盈盈道：“我占尽了甚么天下的好处？”令狐冲道：“你聪明美貌，武功高强，父亲是神教教主，自己又为天下豪杰所敬服。兼之身为女子，东方不败就羡慕得不得了。”盈盈给他逗得噗嗤一笑，登时将脸上受伤之事搁在一旁。
任我行等五人从东方不败的闺房中出来，经过花园、地道，回入殿中。 任我行传下号令，命各堂长老、香主，齐来会见。他坐入教主的座位，笑道：“东方不败这厮倒有不少鬼主意，高高在上的坐着，下属和他相距既远，敬畏之心自是油然而生。这叫做甚么殿啊？” 上官云道：“启禀教主，这叫作'成德殿'，那是颂扬教主文成武德之意。”任我行呵呵而笑，道：“文成武德！文武全才，那可不容易哪。”向令狐冲招招手，道：“冲儿，你过来。”令狐冲走到他座位之前。 任我行道：“冲儿，当日我在杭州，邀你加盟本教。其时我光身一人，甫脱大难，所许下的种种诺言，你都未必能信，此刻我已复得教主之位，第一件事便是旧事重提……”说到这里，右手在椅子扶手上拍了几拍，说道：“这个位子，迟早都是你坐的，哈哈，哈哈！” 令狐冲道：“教主、盈盈待我恩重如山，你要我做甚么事，原是不该推辞。只是我已答应了人，有一件大事要办，加盟神教之事，请恕晚辈不能应命。” 任我行双眉渐渐竖起，阴森森的道：“不听我吩咐，日后会有甚么下场，你该知道！” 盈盈移步上前，挽住令狐冲的手，道：“爹爹，今日是你重登大位的好日子，何必为这种小事伤神？他加盟本教之事，慢慢再说不迟。” 任我行侧着一只左目，向二人斜睨，鼻中哼了一声，道：“盈盈，你就只要丈夫，不要老父了，是不是？” 向问天在旁陪笑道：“教主，令狐兄弟是位少年英雄，性子执拗得很，待属下慢慢开导于他……”正说到这里，殿外有十余人朗声说道：“玄武堂属下长老、堂主、副堂主，五枝香香主、副香主参见文成武德、仁义英明圣教主。教主中兴圣教，泽被苍生，千秋万载，一统江湖。” 任我行喝道：“进殿！”只见十余条汉子走进殿来，一排跪下。 任我行以前当日月神教教主，与教下部属兄弟相称，相见时只是抱拳拱手而已，突见众人跪下，当即站起，将手一摆，道：“不必……”心下忽想：“无威不足以服众。当年我教主之位为奸人篡夺，便因待人太过仁善之故。这跪拜之礼既是东方不败定下了，我也不必取消。”当下将“多礼”二字缩住了不说，跟着坐了下来。 不多时，又有一批人入殿参见，向他跪拜时，任我行便不再站起，只点了点头。 令狐冲这时已退到殿口，与教主的座位相距已遥，灯光又暗，远远望去，任我行的容貌已颇为朦胧，心下忽想：“坐在这位子上的，是任我行还是东方不败，却有甚么分别？” 只听得各堂堂主和香主赞颂之辞越说越响，显然众人心怀极大恐惧，自知过去十余年来为东方不败尽力，言语之中，更不免有得罪前任教主之处，今日任教主重登大位，倘若要算旧帐，不知会受到如何惨酷的刑罚。更有一干新进，从来不知任我行是何等人，只知努力奉承东方不败和杨莲亭便可升职免祸，料想换了教主仍是如此，是以人人大声颂扬。 令狐冲站在殿口，太阳光从背后射来，殿外一片明朗，阴暗的长殿之中却是近百人伏在地下，口吐颂辞。他心下说不出厌恶，寻思：“盈盈对我如此，她如真要我加盟日月神教，我原非顺她之意不可。等得我去了嵩山，阻止左冷禅当上五岳派的掌门，对方证大师和冲虚道长二位有了交代，再在恒山派中选出女弟子来接任掌门，我身一获自由，加盟神教，也可商量。可是要我学这些人的样，岂不是枉自为人？我日后娶盈盈为妻，任教主是我岳父，向他磕头跪拜，那是应有之义，可是甚么'中兴圣教，泽被苍生'，甚么'文成武德，仁义英明'，男子汉大丈夫整日价说这些无耻的言语，当真玷污了英雄豪杰的清白！我当初只道这些无聊的玩意儿，只是东方不败与杨莲亭所想出来折磨人的手段，但瞧这情形，任教主听着这些谀词，竟也欣然自得，丝毫不觉得肉麻！” 又想：“当日在华山思过崖后洞石壁之上，见到魔教十长老所刻下的武功，曾想魔教前辈之中，着实有不少英雄好汉。若非如此，日月教焉能与正教抗衡百年，互争雄长，始终不衰？即以当世之士而论，向大哥、上官云、贾布、童百熊、孤山梅庄中的江南四友，哪一个不是奇材杰出之士？这样一群豪杰之士，身处威逼之下，每日不得不向一个人跪拜，口中念念有辞，心底暗暗诅咒。言者无耻，受者无礼。其实受者逼人行无耻之事，自己更加无耻。这等屈辱天下英雄，自己又怎能算是英雄好汉？” 只听得任我行洋洋得意的声音从长殿彼端传了出来，说道：“你们以前都在东方不败手下服役，所干过的事，本教主暗中早已查得清清楚楚，一一登录在案。但本教主宽大为怀，既往不咎。今后只须大家尽忠本教主，本教主自当善待尔等，共享荣华富贵。” 瞬时之间，殿中颂声大作，都说教主仁义盖天，胸襟如海，大人不计小人过，众部属自当谨奉教主令旨，忠字当头，赴汤蹈火，万死不辞，立下决心，为教主尽忠到底。 任我行待众人说了一阵，声音渐渐静了下来，又道：“但若有谁胆敢作逆造反，不服令旨，那便严惩不贷。一人有罪，全家老幼凌迟处死。”众人齐声道：“属下万万不敢。” 令狐冲听这些人话声颤抖，显是十分害怕，暗道：“任教主还是和东方不败一样，以恐惧之心威慑教众。众人面子上恭顺，心底却愤怒不服，这个'忠'字，从何说起？” 只听得有人向任我行揭发东方不败的罪恶，说他如何忠言逆耳，偏信杨莲亭一人，如何滥杀无辜，赏罚有私，爱听恭维的言语，祸乱神教。有人说他败坏本教教规，乱传黑木令，强人服食三尸脑神丸。另有一人说他饮食穷侈极欲，吃一餐饭往往宰三头牛、五口猪、十口羊。 令狐冲心道：“一个人食量再大，又怎食得三头牛、五口猪、十口羊？他定是宴请朋友或是与众部属同食。东方不败身为一教之主，宰几头牛羊，又怎算是甚么大罪？” 但听各人所提东方不败罪名，越来越多，也越来越加琐碎。有人骂他喜怒无常，哭笑无端；有人骂他爱穿华服，深居不出。更有人说他见识肤浅，愚蠢胡涂；另有一人说他武功低微，全仗装腔作势吓人，其实没半分真实本领。 令狐冲寻思：“你们指骂东方不败如何如何，我也不知你们说得对不对。可是适才我们五人敌他一人，个个死里逃生，险些儿尽数命丧他绣花针下。倘若东方不败武功低微，世上更无一个武功高强之人了。当真是胡说八道之至。” 接着又听一人说东方不败荒淫好色，强抢民女，淫辱教众妻女，生下私生子无数。 令狐冲心想：“东方不败为练《葵花宝典》中的奇功，早已自宫，甚么淫辱妇女，生下私生子无数，哈哈，哈哈！”他想到这里，再也忍耐不住，不由得笑出声来。 这一纵声大笑，登时声传远近。长殿中各人一齐转过头来，向他怒目而视。 盈盈知道他闯了祸，抢过来挽住了他手，道：“冲哥，他们在说东方不败的事，没甚么听的，咱们到崖下逛逛去。”令狐冲伸了伸舌头，笑道：“可别惹你爹爹生气。” 二人并肩而出，经过那座汉白玉的牌楼，从竹篮中挂了下去。
二人偎倚着坐在竹篮之中，眼见轻烟薄雾从身旁飘过，与崖上长殿中的情景换了另一个世界。令狐冲向黑木崖上望去，但见日光照在那汉白玉牌楼上，发出闪闪金光，心下感到一阵快慰：“我终于离此而去，昨晚的事情便如做了一场恶梦。从此而后，说甚么也不再踏上黑木崖来了。” 盈盈道：“冲哥，你在想甚么？”令狐冲道：“你能和我一起去吗？”盈盈脸上一红，道：“我们……我们……”令狐冲道：“甚么？”盈盈低头道：“我们又没成婚，我……我怎能跟着你去？”令狐冲道：“以前你不也和我一起在江湖行走？”盈盈道：“那是迫不得已，何况，也因此惹起了不少闲言闲语。刚才爹爹说我……说我只向着你，不要爹爹了，倘若我跟了你去，爹爹一定大大的不高兴。爹爹受了这十几年牢狱之灾，性子很有些不同了，我想多陪陪他。
A group of people walked to the back of Chengde Hall, passed a long corridor, arrived in a garden, and walked into a small stone house in the west.Yang Lianting said: "Push the wall on the left." Tong Baixiong stretched out his hand and pushed, the wall turned out to be alive, revealing a door.There is still an iron gate inside.Yang Lianting took out a bunch of keys from his side, handed them to Tong Baixiong, opened the iron gate, and there was a tunnel inside. Everyone descended from the tunnel.A few oil lamps were lit on both sides of the tunnel, and the lights were as dim as beans, and the place was gloomy.Ren Woxing thought to himself: "This fellow Dongfang Bubai imprisoned me at the bottom of the West Lake, he didn't know that the retribution would not be good, he himself was also in a cage. This tunnel is not much better than the one in Gushan Meizhuang." After turning a few turns, the front suddenly opened up, exposing the sky.Everyone suddenly smelled the fragrance of flowers, and their hearts were refreshed. Coming out of the tunnel, one finds oneself in a very exquisite small garden, with red plums and green bamboos, green pines and green cypresses, arranged with great ingenuity, several pairs of mandarin ducks swim leisurely in the pond, and there are four white cranes beside the pond.Everyone never expected to see such beautiful scenery, and they were all secretly amazed.Bypassing a pile of rockery, a large flower garden is full of crimson and pink roses, competing for beauty and beauty. Yingying turned her head to look at Linghu Chong, seeing his smiling face, she was very happy, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think this place is good?" Linghu Chong smiled and said: "After we drive Dongfang Bubai away, I will live here with you. In the past few months, you taught me how to play the piano, that's called happiness." Yingying said: "Aren't you lying to me?" Linghu Chong said: "I'm afraid I can't learn it, mother-in-law, please don't be offended." Yingying scoffed With a sound, I laughed. The two of them watched the beautiful scenery, then left behind, saw that Xiang Wentian and Shangguan Yun carried Yang Lianting into an elegant small house, Linghu Chong and Yingying hurriedly followed in.As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a strong fragrance of flowers.I saw a picture of a lady hanging in the room, in which three beauties were painted, and an embroidered brocade cushion was spread on the chair.Linghu Chong thought to himself: "This is a woman's boudoir, why does Dongfang Bubai live here? Yes, this is the residence of his concubine. He lives in a gentle village, and he doesn't want to deal with school affairs anymore." Only one person in the inner room could be heard saying: "Brother Lian, who did you bring with you?" The voice was sharp, but the voice was thick, it seemed to be a man, but also a woman. Yang Lianting said: "It's your old friend, he must see you." The man in the inner room said: "Why did you bring him here? Only you can come in here. I don't like to see anyone except you." The last two sentences were said in a coquettish voice, obviously a woman's voice, But the voice was clearly that of a man. Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, Yingying, Tong Baixiong, Shangguan Yun, etc. are all familiar with Dongfang Bubai, the voice is definitely his, but it's like pinching his throat to learn to sing Huadan, charming and contrived, but it doesn't sound like a joke.Everyone looked at each other in blank amazement. Yang Lianting sighed: "No, if I don't bring him here, he will kill me. How can I die without seeing you?" The man in the room screamed: "Who is so bold and dares to bully you? Do you let me do it? Tell him to come in!" Ren Woxing heard that he guessed it was me based on just one sentence, and couldn't help admiring his intelligence, and made a gesture to signal everyone to go in.Shangguan Yun raised the brocade door curtain embroidered with a cluster of peonies, carried Yang Lianting in, and everyone followed. The room is full of flowers, and the powder is fragrant. There is a person sitting beside a dressing table in the east, wearing a pink shirt, holding an embroidery frame in his left hand, and an embroidery needle in his right hand. He raised his head with a look of surprise on his face. . But the look of surprise on this person's face was far inferior to that of Ren Woxing and others.Except for Linghu Chong, everyone recognized this person as Dongfang Bubai who had usurped the position of leader of the Sun Moon God Sect and had been known as the number one martial artist in the world for more than ten years.But now he has shaved off his beard and put on powder on his face. The clothes on his body are not masculine or feminine, and the color is so enchanting, even if he wears them on Yingying, it looks too delicate and dazzling. Such an earth-shattering and powerful martial arts geek actually hides in the boudoir and embroiders! Ren Woxing was originally full of anger, but now he couldn't help laughing, and shouted: "Dongfang Bubai, are you pretending to be crazy?" Dongfang Bubai said sharply: "Sure enough, it's the leader Ren! You're finally here! Brother Lian, you...you...what's the matter? Did you get hurt by him?" He rushed to Yang Lianting's side and hugged him , gently on the bed.Dongfang Bubai had an expression of infinite love and compassion on his face, he asked repeatedly: "Is the pain severe?" He said again: "It's just a broken leg bone, it's nothing serious, don't worry, I'll fix it for you right away." Slowly Remove the shoes and socks for him, pull the fragrant embroidered quilt, and cover him, just like a virtuous wife serving her husband. Everyone couldn't help looking at each other in amazement, everyone wanted to laugh, but the situation was too weird, but they couldn't laugh.The beaded curtains and brocade curtains and the splendid embroidery room are actually full of eerie ghostly aura. Dongfang Bubai took out a green silk handkerchief from his side, and slowly wiped the sweat and mud off Yang Lianting's forehead.Yang Lianting said angrily: "The enemy is in front of me, what are you doing with a mother-in-law like me? You can defeat the enemy, and then it's not too late to make out with me." Dongfang Bubai smiled and said: "Yes, yes! Don't be angry, your leg hurts It's terrible, isn't it? It hurts." Ren Woxing, Linghu Chong and others have never seen or heard of such a strange thing.There are many places where male molesters exist, but Dongfang Bubai is a dignified leader, why would he be willing to pretend to be a woman and pretend to be a concubine?This man must be crazy.Yang Lianting spoke harshly to him, but he looked very "gentle and gentle", everyone was surprised and a little disgusted. Tong Baixiong couldn't help stepping forward, and shouted: "Brother Dongfang, you... what are you doing?" Dongfang Bubai raised his head, with a gloomy face, and asked, "You are also among those who hurt my brother Lian. Do you?" Tong Baixiong said: "Why are you being manipulated by Yang Lianting? He asked a bastard to pretend to be you, giving orders at will, and doing anything wrong, do you know?" Dongfang Bubai said: "Of course I know. Brother Lian is for my own good and is considerate to me. He knows that I don't care about teaching affairs, so what's wrong with doing the work for me?" Tong Baixiong pointed at Yang Lianting and said, "This man wants to kill him. Do you know me too?" Dongfang Bubai shook his head slowly, and said, "I don't know. Since Brother Lian wanted to kill you, it must be your fault. Then why didn't you let him do it?" Tong Baixiong was startled, raised his head, and laughed out loud, full of grief and indignation, he laughed for a while before saying: "If he wants to kill me, you let him kill me, right?" Dongfang Bubai said: "Whatever Brother Lian likes to do, I have to do it for him. He is the only one who really treats me well in this world, and I only treat him well. Brother Tong, we have always been friends through life, but You shouldn't offend my Brother Lian." Tong Baixiong's face was flushed with swelling, and he said loudly: "I also thought that you lost your mind and went crazy. It turns out that you understand very well in your heart that we are good friends and have always been close friends." Dongfang Bubai said: "It is exactly It's nothing if you offend me. You can't offend Brother Lian." Tong Baixiong said loudly, "I've already offended him, what are you going to do? This traitor wants to kill me, but he may not be able to do so." Dongfang Bubai stretched out his hand to gently stroke Yang Lianting's hair, and said softly: "Brother Lian, do you want to kill him?" Yang Lianting said angrily, "Hurry up! Mother-in-law, it's boring." Dongfang Bubai laughed "Yes!" Turning his head to Tong Baixiong, he said, "Brother Tong, today we have cut off our ties, so don't blame me." Before Tong Baixiong came here, he had already taken a single saber from His Royal Highness's warrior hand, immediately took two steps back, held the saber in his hand, and set up a door.He knew Dongfang Bubai's kung fu is very good, even though he was crazy at the moment, he didn't dare to ignore him in the slightest. Dongfang Bubai sneered coldly, and sighed: "This is really embarrassing! Brother Tong, I think that when I was in Taihang Mountain, the Ludong Seven Tigers attacked me. At that time, I failed to practice, and they suddenly attacked me. He was seriously injured, seeing his life dying in an instant, if you hadn't risked his life to save him, how could a brother live to this day?" Tong Baixiong snorted, and said: "You still remember these old things." Dongfang Bubai said: "I Why don't you remember? When I took over the power of the Sun Moon God Sect, Elder Luo of Zhuque Hall was dissatisfied, and you were the one who killed Elder Luo with a single knife. Since then, no one in this sect has dared to say anything different The credit you have for your support is really not small." Tong Baixiong said angrily: "It's only my fault that I was stupid back then!" Dongfang Bubai shook his head and said: "You are not stupid, but you have a deep sense of loyalty to me. I have known you since I was eleven years old. At that time, my family was poor, and I had been helped by you for many years. After my parents passed away, there was no way to bury them. You did the cooking for me." Tong Baixiong waved his left hand and said, "Why bring up the past?" Dongfang Bubai sighed, "That has to be mentioned. Brother Tong, it's not that a brother is heartless and disregards the past. Kindness, I only blame you for offending my Brother Lian. He wants to take your life, I can't do anything." Tong Baixiong shouted: "That's it, that's it!" All of a sudden, everyone felt a pink mass flashing in front of their eyes, as if Dongfang Bubai's body moved.But with a well-heard sound, Tong Baixiong fell to the ground with a single knife in his hand, and swayed a few times following his body. Tong Baixiong opened his mouth wide, suddenly he threw himself forward, prostrated himself on the ground, and remained motionless for a while.Although it was only for a split second when he fell, Ren Woxing and other experts could see clearly that there was a small red spot on the center of his eyebrows, on the left and right temples, and on the four big acupoints under his nose, with slight blood oozing out. It was stabbed by Dongfang Bubai with an embroidery needle in his hand. Under the shock of Ren Woxing and others, he couldn't help but retreated a few steps.Linghu Chong pulled Yingying with his left hand and stood in front of her.There was silence in the room for a while, and no one took a breath. Ren Woxing slowly drew out his long sword, and said: "Dongfang Bubai, congratulations that you have practiced the martial arts in the "Sunflower Treasure"." Dongfang Bubai said: "Master Ren, this "Sunflower Treasure" was passed on to you Mine. I always think about your benefits." Ren Woxing sneered: "Really? So you locked me at the bottom of the West Lake and taught me not to see the sun." Dongfang Bubai said: "I didn't kill you, yes No? As long as I ask the four friends in Jiangnan not to bring you water, can you survive ten days and a half?" Ren Woxing said, "In this way, you treat me pretty well?" Dongfang Bubai said, "Just Yes. I will let you live your life in Hangzhou West Lake. As the saying goes, there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. The scenery of West Lake is famous all over the world, and Gushan Meizhuang is the best place for the scenery of West Lake.” Ren Woxing laughed, and said: "So you let me spend my whole life in the dark prison at the bottom of the West Lake, thank you very much." Dongfang Bubai sighed, and said: "Master Ren, I will always remember all the benefits you have treated me. I am in the Sun Moon God Sect, and I was originally a deputy incense master under the elder seat of the Fenglei Hall. My position, even the most precious treasure of our religion, the "Sunflower Canon", was passed on to me, and I was designated to succeed you as the leader of this religion in the future. This kindness and virtue, Dongfang Bubai will never forget." Linghu Chong glanced at Tong Baixiong's body underground, and thought: "Just now you kept praising Elder Tong for his benefits to you, and suddenly you killed him. Now you want to repeat the old trick on Master Ren. He won't Fuck you." But Dongfang Bubai's attack was really too quick, like lightning, like thunder, without any warning in advance, it was really terrifying.Linghu Chong lifted the long sword and pointed it at his chest. As soon as his limbs moved slightly, he would immediately stab with the sword. Only by attacking first can he be killed. If he gets the upper hand, another person in the room will die up.Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, Shangguanyun, and Yingying all stared at Dongfang Bubai intently, preventing him from violently attacking him. I only heard Dongfang Bubai say again: "At the beginning, I only wanted to be the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, and I wanted to rule the world forever, so I tried my best to seek your position and cut off your wings. Brother Xiang, this plan of mine , I can’t hide it from you. Among the Sun Moon God Sect, apart from the leader Ren and me, Dongfang Bubai, you must be regarded as a talent.” Holding the soft whip in his hand, Xiang Wentian held his breath, not daring to distract himself from answering. Dongfang Bubai sighed, and said: "When I first became the sect leader, I was very high-spirited. Talking about Wencheng Wude, Zhongxing Shengjiao, I was really shameless. Slowly realized the wonderful meaning of life. After a few years of internal cultivation, I finally understood the essentials of the transformation of heaven and man, and the growth of all things." Everyone heard him say these words in a high-pitched voice, and gradually their palms became sweaty. This man speaks in an orderly manner and his mind is very clear, but this strange appearance of neither man nor woman makes people feel more and more creepy the more they look at it. Dongfang Bubai's eyes slowly turned to Yingying's face, and asked: "Miss Ren, how have I treated you these past few years?" Yingying said: "You have treated me very well." Dongfang Bubai sighed again, faintly He said: "It's not very good, but I have always envied you. A woman born as a woman is already a hundred times luckier than a stinky man, not to mention you are so charming and young. If I can change places with you And here, let alone the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, even the emperor Lao Tzu, I will not do it." Linghu Chong said with a smile: "If you change places with Miss Ren, it will not be easy for me to fall in love with you, an old monster!" Ren Woxing was shocked when he heard him say that. Dongfang Bubai stared at him, his eyebrows gradually raised, his face turned blue, and he said: "Who are you? How dare you speak to me like this, you really have the guts." These few words were spoken in an extremely sharp voice, and he looked extremely angry. Linghu Chong knew that the crisis was imminent, but he couldn't help laughing and said, "Whether it's a man with eyebrows or a charming girl, what I hate the most is the old lady who is a man disguised as a woman." Dongfang Bubai said sharply and angrily: "I ask you, who are you?" Linghu Chong said, "My name is Linghu Chong." Dongfang Bubai's anger was suppressed, he smiled slightly, and said: "Ah! You are Linghu Chong. I wanted to see you a long time ago. I heard that Miss Ren fell in love with you and even cut off her head because of you. I don't know why. A handsome gentleman. Hmph, I don't think so, compared to my brother Lian, he is far behind." Linghu Chong said with a smile: "It's not good to be a servant, it's better to be single-minded. Although this Yang Jun is handsome, it's a pity that he likes flirting too much and shows mercy everywhere..." Dongfang Bubai suddenly yelled: "You...you bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?" His face was flushed, and suddenly the pink figure flickered, and the embroidery needle rushed towards Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong said those two words to make him angry, but when he saw his sleeves swaying slightly, he swiped his sword and stabbed towards his throat.This sword thrust was extremely fast, if Dongfang Bubai didn't shrink back, the sharp sword would have pierced through his throat immediately.But at this moment, Linghu Chong only felt a slight pain in his left cheek, and followed the long sword in his hand to swing to the left. But it turned out that Dongfang Bubai's strike was so fast, it was unbelievable, in that instant, he stabbed Linghu Chong's face with the needle, then retracted his arm, and blocked Linghu Chong's sword with the needle.Fortunately, Linghu Chong's sword was also extremely fast, and the enemy had to be saved, and Dongfang Bubai attacked the enemy in a rage, he couldn't help being a little impulsive, so the needle was missed and missed. His key point.The embroidery needle in Dongfang Bubai's hand was no more than an inch long, it could almost be blown by the wind, it wouldn't sink in the water, it was able to swing Linghu Chong's long sword straight away, the level of martial arts was really inconceivable. Linghu Chong was shocked, knowing that today he met a powerful enemy he had never seen in his life, as long as he gave the opponent a chance to use his hands and feet, his life would be lost immediately, and he immediately swiped and stabbed four times, all pointing at the opponent's vital points . Dongfang Bubai let out a "Yi", and praised: "The sword skill is very high." With a swipe to the left, a swipe to the right, a swipe up, and a swipe down, all the four swords that Linghu charged were thrown away.Linghu Chong stared intently at his attack, the embroidery needle flicked around, and there was no flaw in his body, at this moment, he was absolutely not allowed to stab back, he shouted loudly, and slashed straight at the head with the long sword.Dongfang Bubai's right thumb and forefinger grasped the embroidery needle and swung it upwards to block the incoming sword, so the long sword couldn't cut it down. 令狐冲手臂微感酸麻，但见红影闪处，似有一物向自己左目戳来。此刻既已不及挡架，又不及闪避，百忙中长剑颤动，也向东方不败的左目急刺，竟是两败俱伤的打法。 这一下剑刺敌目，已是迹近无赖，殊非高手可用的招数，但令狐冲所学的“独狐剑法”本无招数，他为人又是随随便便，素来不以高手自居，危急之际更不暇细思，但觉左边眉心微微一痛，东方不败已跳了开去，避开了他这一剑。 令狐冲知道自己左眉已为他绣花针所刺中，幸亏他要闪避自己长剑这一刺，绣花针才失了准头，否则一只眼睛已给他刺瞎了，骇异之余，长剑便如疾风骤雨般狂刺乱劈，不容对方缓出手来还击一招。东方不败左拨右挡，兀自好整以暇的啧啧连赞：“好剑法，好剑法！” 任我行和向问天见情势不对，一挺长剑，一挥软鞭，同时上前夹击。这当世三大高手联手出战，势道何等厉害，但东方不败两根手指拈着一枚绣花针，在三人之间穿来插去，趋退如电，竟没半分败象。上官云拔出单刀，冲上助战，以四敌一。斗到酣处，猛听得上官云大叫一声，单刀落地，一个筋斗翻了出去，双手按住右目，这只眼睛已被东方不败刺瞎。 令狐冲见任我行和向问天二人攻势凌厉，东方不败已缓不出手来向自己攻击，当下展动长剑，尽往他身上各处要害刺去。但东方不败的身形如鬼如魅，飘忽来去，直似轻烟。令狐冲的剑尖剑锋总是和他身子差着数寸。 忽听得向问天“啊”的一声叫，跟着令狐冲也是“嘿”的一声，二人身上先后中针。任我行所练的“吸星大法”功力虽深，可是东方不败身法快极，难与相触，二来所使兵刃是一根绣花针，无法从针上吸他内力。又斗片刻，任我行也是“啊”的一声叫，胸口、喉头都受到针刺，幸好其时令狐冲攻得正急，东方不败急谋自救，以致一针刺偏了准头，另一针刺得虽准，却只深入数分，未能伤敌。 四人围攻东方不败，未能碰到他一点衣衫，而四人都受了他的针刺。盈盈在旁观战，越来越担心：“不知他针上是否喂有毒药，要是有毒，那可不堪设想！”但见东方不败身子越转越快，一团红影滚来滚去。任我行、向问天、令狐冲连声吆喝，声音中透着又是愤怒，又是惶急。三人兵刃上都是贯注了内力，风声大作。东方不败却不发出半点声息。 盈盈暗想：“我若加入混战，只有阻手阻脚，帮不了忙，那可如何是好？看来东方不败以一敌三，还能取胜。”一瞥眼间，只见杨莲亭已坐在床上，凝神观斗，满脸关切之情。盈盈心念一动，慢慢移步走向床边，突然左手短剑一起，嗤的一声，刺在杨莲亭右肩。杨莲亭猝不及防，大叫一声。盈盈跟着又是一剑，斩在他的大腿之上。 杨莲亭这时已知她用意，是要自己呼叫出声，分散东方不败的心神，强忍疼痛，竟再也不哼一声。盈盈怒道：“你叫不叫？我把你手指一根根的斩了下来。”长剑一颤，斩落了他右手的一根手指。不料杨莲亭十分硬气，虽然伤口剧痛，却没发出半点声息。 但杨莲亭的第一声呼叫已传入东方不败耳中。他斜眼见到盈盈站在床边，正在挥剑折磨杨莲亭，骂道：“死丫头！”一团红云陡向盈盈扑去。 盈盈急忙侧头缩身，也不知是否能避得开东方不败刺来的这一针。令狐冲、任我行双剑自东方不败背上疾戳。向问天刷的一鞭，向杨莲亭头上砸去。东方不败不顾自己生死，反手一针，刺入了向问天胸口。 向问天只觉全身一麻，软鞭落地，便在此时，令狐冲和任我行两柄剑都插入了东方不败后心。东方不败身子一颤，扑在杨莲亭身上。 任我行大喜，拔出剑来，以剑尖指住他后颈，喝道：“东方不败，今日终于……终于教你落在我手里。”剧斗之余，说话时气喘不已。 盈盈惊魂未定，双腿发软，身子摇摇欲坠。令狐冲抢过去扶住，只见细细一行鲜血，从她左颊流了下来。盈盈却道：“你可受了不少伤。”伸袖在令狐冲脸上一抹，只见袖上斑斑点点，都是鲜血。令狐冲转头问向问天：“受伤不重罢？”向问天苦笑道：“死不了！” 东方不败背上两处伤口中鲜血狂涌，受伤极重，不住呼叫：“莲弟，莲弟，这批奸人折磨你，好不狠毒！” 杨莲亭怒道：“你往日自夸武功盖世，为甚么杀不了这几个奸贼？”东方不败道：“我已……我……”杨莲亭怒道：“你甚么？”东方不败道：“我已尽力而为，他们……武功都强得很。”突然身子一晃，滚倒在地。任我行怕他乘机跃起，一剑斩在他左腿之上。 东方不败苦笑道：“任教主，终于是你胜了，是我败了。”任我行哈哈大笑，道：“你这大号，可得改一改罢？”东方不败摇头道：“那也不用改。东方不败既然落败，也不会再活在世上。”他本来说话声音极尖，此刻却变得低沉起来，又道：“倘若单打独斗，你是不能打败我的。” 任我行微一犹豫，说道：“不错，你武功比我高，我很是佩服。”东方不败道：“令狐冲，你剑法极高，但若单打独斗，也打不过我。”令狐冲道：“正是。其实我们便是四人联手，也打你不过，只不过你顾着那姓杨的，这才分心受伤。阁下武功极高，不愧称得'天下第一'四字，在下十分钦佩。” 东方不败微微一笑，说道：“你二位能这么说，足见男子汉大丈夫气概。唉，冤孽，冤孽，我练那《葵花宝典》，照着宝典上的秘方，自宫练气，炼丹服药，渐渐的胡子没有了，说话声音变了，性子也变了。我从此不爱女子，把七个小妾都杀了，却……却把全副心意放在杨莲亭这须眉男子身上。倘若我生为女儿身，那就好了。任教主，我……我就要死了，我求你一件事，请……你瞧在我这些年来善待你大小姐的份上……” 任我行问道：“甚么事？”东方不败道：“请你饶了杨莲亭一命，将他逐下黑木崖去便是。”任我行笑道：“我要将他千刀万剁，分一百天凌迟处死，今天割一根手指，明天割半根脚趾。” 东方不败怒叫：“你……你好狠毒！”猛地纵起，向任我行扑去。 他重伤之余，身法已远不如先前迅捷，但这一扑之势仍是凌厉惊人。任我行长剑直刺，从他前胸通到后背。便在此时，东方不败手指一弹，绣花针飞了出去，插入了任我行右目。 任我行撤剑后跃，呯的一声，背脊撞在墙上，喀喇喇一响，一座墙被他撞塌了半边。盈盈忙抢前瞧父亲右眼，只见那枚绣花针正插在瞳仁之中。幸好其时东方不败手劲已衰，否则这针直贯入脑，不免性命难保，但这只眼珠恐怕终不免是废了。 盈盈伸指去抓绣花针的针尾，但钢针甚短，露出在外者不过一分，实无着手处。她转过身来，拾起东方不败抛下的绣花绷子，抽了一根丝线，款款轻送，穿入针鼻，拉住丝线，向外一拔。任我行大叫一声。那绣花针带着几滴鲜血，挂在丝线之下。 任我行怒极，飞腿猛向东方不败的尸身上踢去。尸身飞将起来，呯的一声响，撞在杨莲亭头上。任我行盛怒之下，这一腿踢出时使足了劲力，东方不败和杨莲亭两颗脑袋一撞，尽皆头骨碎破，脑浆迸裂。 任我行得诛大仇，重夺日月神教教主之位，却也由此而失了一只眼睛，一时喜怒交迸，仰天长笑，声震屋瓦。但笑声之中，却也充满了愤怒之意。 上官云道：“恭喜教主，今日诛却大逆。从此我教在教主庇荫之下，扬威四海。教主千秋万载，一统江湖。” 任我行笑骂：“胡说八道！甚么千秋万载？”忽然觉得倘若真能千秋万载，一统江湖，确是人生至乐，忍不住又哈哈大笑。这一次大笑，那才是真的称心畅怀，志得意满。 向问天给东方不败一针刺中左乳下穴道，全身麻了好一会，此刻四肢才得自如，也道：“恭喜教主，贺喜教主！”任我行笑道：“这一役诛奸复位，你实占首功。”转头向令狐冲道：“冲儿的功劳自然也不在小。” 令狐冲见到盈盈皎白如玉的脸颊上一道殷红的血痕，想起适才的恶战，兀自心有余悸，说道：“若不是盈盈去对付杨莲亭，要杀东方不败，可当真不易。”顿了一顿，又道：“幸好他绣花针上没喂毒。” 盈盈身子一颤，低声道：“别说啦。这不是人，是妖怪。唉，我小时候，他常抱着我去山上采果子游玩，今日却变得如此下场。” 任我行伸手到东方不败衣衫袋中，摸出一本薄薄的旧册页，随手一翻，其中密密麻麻的写满了字。他握在手中扬了扬，说道：“这本册子，便是《葵花宝典》了，上面注明，'欲练神功，引刀自宫'，老夫可不会没了脑子，去干这等傻事，哈哈，哈哈，……”随即沉吟道：“可是宝典上所载的武功实在厉害，任何学武之人，一见之后决不能不动心。那时候幸好我已学得'吸星大法'，否则跟着去练这宝典上的害人功夫，却也难说。”他在东方不败尸身上又踢了一脚，笑道：“饶你奸诈似鬼，也猜不透老夫传你《葵花宝典》的用意。你野心勃勃，意存跋扈，难道老夫瞧不出来吗？哈哈，哈哈！” 令狐冲心中一寒：“原来任教主以《葵花宝典》传他，当初便就没怀善意。两人尔虞我诈，各怀机心。”见任我行右目中不绝流出鲜血，张嘴狂笑，显得十分的面目狰狞，心中更感到一阵惊怖。 任我行伸手到东方不败胯下一摸，果然他的两枚睾丸已然割去，笑道：“这部《葵花宝典》要是教太监去练，那就再好不过。”将那《葵花宝典》放在双掌中一搓，功力到处，一本原已十分陈旧的册页登时化作碎片。他双手一扬，许多碎片随风吹到了窗外。 盈盈吁了一口气道：“这种害人东西，毁了最好！”令狐冲笑道：“你怕我去练么？”盈盈满脸通红，啐了一口，道：“说话就没半点正经。” 盈盈取出金创药，替父亲及上官云敷了眼上的伤。各人脸上被刺的针孔，一时也难以计数。盈盈对镜一照，只见左颊上划了一道血痕，虽然极细，伤愈之后，只怕仍要留下些微痕迹，不由得郁郁不乐。 令狐冲道：“你占尽了天下的好处，未免为鬼神所妒，脸上小小破一点相，那便后福无穷。”盈盈道：“我占尽了甚么天下的好处？”令狐冲道：“你聪明美貌，武功高强，父亲是神教教主，自己又为天下豪杰所敬服。兼之身为女子，东方不败就羡慕得不得了。”盈盈给他逗得噗嗤一笑，登时将脸上受伤之事搁在一旁。
任我行等五人从东方不败的闺房中出来，经过花园、地道，回入殿中。 任我行传下号令，命各堂长老、香主，齐来会见。他坐入教主的座位，笑道：“东方不败这厮倒有不少鬼主意，高高在上的坐着，下属和他相距既远，敬畏之心自是油然而生。这叫做甚么殿啊？” 上官云道：“启禀教主，这叫作'成德殿'，那是颂扬教主文成武德之意。”任我行呵呵而笑，道：“文成武德！文武全才，那可不容易哪。”向令狐冲招招手，道：“冲儿，你过来。”令狐冲走到他座位之前。 任我行道：“冲儿，当日我在杭州，邀你加盟本教。其时我光身一人，甫脱大难，所许下的种种诺言，你都未必能信，此刻我已复得教主之位，第一件事便是旧事重提……”说到这里，右手在椅子扶手上拍了几拍，说道：“这个位子，迟早都是你坐的，哈哈，哈哈！” 令狐冲道：“教主、盈盈待我恩重如山，你要我做甚么事，原是不该推辞。只是我已答应了人，有一件大事要办，加盟神教之事，请恕晚辈不能应命。” 任我行双眉渐渐竖起，阴森森的道：“不听我吩咐，日后会有甚么下场，你该知道！” 盈盈移步上前，挽住令狐冲的手，道：“爹爹，今日是你重登大位的好日子，何必为这种小事伤神？他加盟本教之事，慢慢再说不迟。” 任我行侧着一只左目，向二人斜睨，鼻中哼了一声，道：“盈盈，你就只要丈夫，不要老父了，是不是？” 向问天在旁陪笑道：“教主，令狐兄弟是位少年英雄，性子执拗得很，待属下慢慢开导于他……”正说到这里，殿外有十余人朗声说道：“玄武堂属下长老、堂主、副堂主，五枝香香主、副香主参见文成武德、仁义英明圣教主。教主中兴圣教，泽被苍生，千秋万载，一统江湖。” 任我行喝道：“进殿！”只见十余条汉子走进殿来，一排跪下。 任我行以前当日月神教教主，与教下部属兄弟相称，相见时只是抱拳拱手而已，突见众人跪下，当即站起，将手一摆，道：“不必……”心下忽想：“无威不足以服众。当年我教主之位为奸人篡夺，便因待人太过仁善之故。这跪拜之礼既是东方不败定下了，我也不必取消。”当下将“多礼”二字缩住了不说，跟着坐了下来。 不多时，又有一批人入殿参见，向他跪拜时，任我行便不再站起，只点了点头。 令狐冲这时已退到殿口，与教主的座位相距已遥，灯光又暗，远远望去，任我行的容貌已颇为朦胧，心下忽想：“坐在这位子上的，是任我行还是东方不败，却有甚么分别？” 只听得各堂堂主和香主赞颂之辞越说越响，显然众人心怀极大恐惧，自知过去十余年来为东方不败尽力，言语之中，更不免有得罪前任教主之处，今日任教主重登大位，倘若要算旧帐，不知会受到如何惨酷的刑罚。更有一干新进，从来不知任我行是何等人，只知努力奉承东方不败和杨莲亭便可升职免祸，料想换了教主仍是如此，是以人人大声颂扬。 令狐冲站在殿口，太阳光从背后射来，殿外一片明朗，阴暗的长殿之中却是近百人伏在地下，口吐颂辞。他心下说不出厌恶，寻思：“盈盈对我如此，她如真要我加盟日月神教，我原非顺她之意不可。等得我去了嵩山，阻止左冷禅当上五岳派的掌门，对方证大师和冲虚道长二位有了交代，再在恒山派中选出女弟子来接任掌门，我身一获自由，加盟神教，也可商量。可是要我学这些人的样，岂不是枉自为人？我日后娶盈盈为妻，任教主是我岳父，向他磕头跪拜，那是应有之义，可是甚么'中兴圣教，泽被苍生'，甚么'文成武德，仁义英明'，男子汉大丈夫整日价说这些无耻的言语，当真玷污了英雄豪杰的清白！我当初只道这些无聊的玩意儿，只是东方不败与杨莲亭所想出来折磨人的手段，但瞧这情形，任教主听着这些谀词，竟也欣然自得，丝毫不觉得肉麻！” 又想：“当日在华山思过崖后洞石壁之上，见到魔教十长老所刻下的武功，曾想魔教前辈之中，着实有不少英雄好汉。若非如此，日月教焉能与正教抗衡百年，互争雄长，始终不衰？即以当世之士而论，向大哥、上官云、贾布、童百熊、孤山梅庄中的江南四友，哪一个不是奇材杰出之士？这样一群豪杰之士，身处威逼之下，每日不得不向一个人跪拜，口中念念有辞，心底暗暗诅咒。言者无耻，受者无礼。其实受者逼人行无耻之事，自己更加无耻。这等屈辱天下英雄，自己又怎能算是英雄好汉？” 只听得任我行洋洋得意的声音从长殿彼端传了出来，说道：“你们以前都在东方不败手下服役，所干过的事，本教主暗中早已查得清清楚楚，一一登录在案。但本教主宽大为怀，既往不咎。今后只须大家尽忠本教主，本教主自当善待尔等，共享荣华富贵。” 瞬时之间，殿中颂声大作，都说教主仁义盖天，胸襟如海，大人不计小人过，众部属自当谨奉教主令旨，忠字当头，赴汤蹈火，万死不辞，立下决心，为教主尽忠到底。 任我行待众人说了一阵，声音渐渐静了下来，又道：“但若有谁胆敢作逆造反，不服令旨，那便严惩不贷。一人有罪，全家老幼凌迟处死。”众人齐声道：“属下万万不敢。” 令狐冲听这些人话声颤抖，显是十分害怕，暗道：“任教主还是和东方不败一样，以恐惧之心威慑教众。众人面子上恭顺，心底却愤怒不服，这个'忠'字，从何说起？” 只听得有人向任我行揭发东方不败的罪恶，说他如何忠言逆耳，偏信杨莲亭一人，如何滥杀无辜，赏罚有私，爱听恭维的言语，祸乱神教。有人说他败坏本教教规，乱传黑木令，强人服食三尸脑神丸。另有一人说他饮食穷侈极欲，吃一餐饭往往宰三头牛、五口猪、十口羊。 令狐冲心道：“一个人食量再大，又怎食得三头牛、五口猪、十口羊？他定是宴请朋友或是与众部属同食。东方不败身为一教之主，宰几头牛羊，又怎算是甚么大罪？” 但听各人所提东方不败罪名，越来越多，也越来越加琐碎。有人骂他喜怒无常，哭笑无端；有人骂他爱穿华服，深居不出。更有人说他见识肤浅，愚蠢胡涂；另有一人说他武功低微，全仗装腔作势吓人，其实没半分真实本领。 令狐冲寻思：“你们指骂东方不败如何如何，我也不知你们说得对不对。可是适才我们五人敌他一人，个个死里逃生，险些儿尽数命丧他绣花针下。倘若东方不败武功低微，世上更无一个武功高强之人了。当真是胡说八道之至。” 接着又听一人说东方不败荒淫好色，强抢民女，淫辱教众妻女，生下私生子无数。 令狐冲心想：“东方不败为练《葵花宝典》中的奇功，早已自宫，甚么淫辱妇女，生下私生子无数，哈哈，哈哈！”他想到这里，再也忍耐不住，不由得笑出声来。 这一纵声大笑，登时声传远近。长殿中各人一齐转过头来，向他怒目而视。 盈盈知道他闯了祸，抢过来挽住了他手，道：“冲哥，他们在说东方不败的事，没甚么听的，咱们到崖下逛逛去。”令狐冲伸了伸舌头，笑道：“可别惹你爹爹生气。” 二人并肩而出，经过那座汉白玉的牌楼，从竹篮中挂了下去。
二人偎倚着坐在竹篮之中，眼见轻烟薄雾从身旁飘过，与崖上长殿中的情景换了另一个世界。令狐冲向黑木崖上望去，但见日光照在那汉白玉牌楼上，发出闪闪金光，心下感到一阵快慰：“我终于离此而去，昨晚的事情便如做了一场恶梦。从此而后，说甚么也不再踏上黑木崖来了。” 盈盈道：“冲哥，你在想甚么？”令狐冲道：“你能和我一起去吗？”盈盈脸上一红，道：“我们……我们……”令狐冲道：“甚么？”盈盈低头道：“我们又没成婚，我……我怎能跟着你去？”令狐冲道：“以前你不也和我一起在江湖行走？”盈盈道：“那是迫不得已，何况，也因此惹起了不少闲言闲语。刚才爹爹说我……说我只向着你，不要爹爹了，倘若我跟了你去，爹爹一定大大的不高兴。爹爹受了这十几年牢狱之灾，性子很有些不同了，我想多陪陪他。
