Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen
Wei Xiaobao closed his eyes and fell asleep in the carriage.In the evening, I suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, and a horse galloped up from behind. When I came close, I heard a man shouting loudly: "The driver, is there a child in the car?"
Wei Xiaobao recognized Liu Yizhou's voice, and without waiting for the driver to answer, he poked his head out of the car and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, are you looking for me?" Liu Yizhou was sweating profusely and his face was covered in dust.When he saw Wei Xiaobao, he shouted: "Okay, I've finally arrived at you!" He rode his horse around to the front of the car and shouted: "Get off!"
Wei Xiaobao was taken aback when he saw his unkind expression, and asked, "Brother Liu, what did I offend you and make you angry?"
Liu Yizhou swung out the whip in his hand, and lashed it hard at the head of the mule in front of the cart.The mule screamed in pain, the man stood up, the cart fell back, and the driver almost fell off.The coachman yelled: "Dark sky and white sun, have you seen a ghost? Why are you being violent?" Liu Yizhou shouted: "I just want to be violent!" The horse whip swung again, caught the coachman's whip, pulled him down, and threw him On the ground, followed by lashing the whip, lashing the whip, and cursing: "I'm going to be violent! I'm going to be violent!"
The coachman struggled and couldn't get up, and couldn't stop shouting and cursing from his grandparents.Liu Yizhou's whip hit harder and harder, blood splashed out as soon as he whipped down.
Wei Xiaobao was stunned, thinking: "This coachman has no grievances or enmity with him, he beats me so hard, so he is targeting me. I am not his opponent, after he finishes beating the coachman, he will probably beat me like this , that’s not a good thing.” Pulling out the dagger from the boot shaft, he poked lightly on the mule’s buttocks.
The mule was frightened by the pain and ran wildly, pulling the cart and rushing along the road.Liu Yizhou gave up the coachman, came over on horseback, and shouted: "Good boy, don't go if you have the guts!" Wei Xiaobao poked his head out of the car, and shouted: "Good boy, don't chase if you have the guts!"
Liu Yizhou flogged his horse vigorously and galloped over.Although the mule ran very fast, after all, it was dragging a large cart, after running for a while, Liu Yizhou chased him closer and closer.Wei Xiaobao wanted to throw the dagger at Liu Yizhou, but he probably missed it and lost his self-defense weapon.He yelled indiscriminately, urging the mule to run quickly, when suddenly a strong wind passed by his ear, and there was a burning pain on his right cheek, and he had already been whipped.He hurriedly shrank back into the car, and saw Liu Yizhou's horse's head was close to the car from the gap in the tent, he only needed to run a few more steps, and Liu Yizhou would be able to jump on the car. The ingot of silver was thrown vigorously, hitting the horse's left eye.
The horse's left eye was bloody, the eyeball was shattered, and it was blinded immediately, and ran towards the hillside in a slanting stab.Liu Yizhou hastily reined in the horse, the horse was in severe pain, it jumped a few times and knocked Liu Yizhou off the horse.He rolled over and stood up immediately. The horse had already passed through the forest, neighing repeatedly, and galloped away.Wei Xiaobao laughed loudly, and shouted: "Brother Liu, you don't know how to ride a horse, I advise you to catch a tortoise and ride it!" Liu Yizhou was furious, and ran after the cart.
Wei Xiaobao was startled, he urged the mule to run quickly, when he turned his head to look at Liu Yizhou, he saw that although he was twenty or thirty feet away from the cart, he was striding forward and kept chasing him, it was not easy to get rid of him , the dagger stuck out, and lightly poked the mule's buttocks again.But this time it didn't work, the mule jumped a few times, then suddenly turned around and ran towards Liu Yizhou.Wei Xiaobao yelled: "No, no! You bastard eats inside and out, wanting to look good to me!" He pulled the rein hard, but the mule lost his temper, how could he hold it?Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei Xiaobao quickly jumped out of the car and ran into the forest beside the road.
Liu Yizhou strode up, reached forward with his left hand, and grabbed the back of his collar.Wei Xiaobao stabbed backward with the dagger in his right hand.Liu Yizhou's right hand stretched down along his arm, and with a move of "Walking Clouds and Flowing Water", he had already grabbed his wrist, then turned his arm, pointed the tip of the dagger at his throat, and shouted: "Little thief, how dare you be stubborn?" He slapped his left hand twice and slapped him twice.
Wei Xiaobao's wrist was painful and his throat was chilly, knowing that his dagger cut iron like mud and his throat like cutting tofu, he hurriedly said with a playful smile: "Brother Liu, you have something to say, we are our own people, why are you so rough?"
Liu Yizhou spit on his face and said: "Bah, who recognizes you as your own? You...you...you little thief, how dare you lie to my Junior Sister Fang with flattering words in the palace, and...follow her again Sleeping in the same bed, this... this... I... I... must kill you..." The veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes were about to burst into flames, he clenched his left hand and aimed at Wei Xiaobao's face.
Only then did Wei Xiaobao understand that the reason why he got so angry was because of Fang Yi, but how did he know?The situation in front of him was at a critical moment, he was a little angry, he exerted a little more force with his hands, and there were many holes in his throat, and said with a smile: "Miss Fang is your sweetheart, how dare I be rude to her? Miss Fang, you are the only one in her heart .She just misses you from morning to night."
Liu Yizhou became furious and asked, "How do you know?" He retracted the dagger a few inches.Wei Xiaobao said: "I sent you out of the palace only because she begged me to save you. Once she found out that you escaped danger, she didn't know how much she liked it."
Liu Yizhou suddenly became angry again, gritted his teeth and said, "You little bastard, I don't appreciate your favor! You don't matter if you save me or not, why did you trick my younger sister Fang into agreeing to marry... to marry you as my wife?" The dagger is quite a few inches forward.
Wei Xiaobao said: "Hey! How could such a thing happen? Who did you hear it from? Miss Fang is such a shameful beauty, only marrying a handsome and remarkable hero like you is suitable!"
Liu Yizhou's anger dropped by another three points, he retracted the dagger a few more inches, and said, "You still want to blame me? Junior sister Fang promised to marry you, didn't she?" Wei Xiaobao laughed out loud.Liu Yizhou said: "What's so funny?" Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "Brother Liu, let me ask you, can a eunuch marry a wife?"
Liu Yizhou rushed here out of a burst of anger, never thinking that Wei Xiaobao is a eunuch, and eunuchs must not marry wives, when Wei Xiaobao reminded him, his heart was bursting with joy, he couldn't help but also laughed, but he didn't let go He flicked his wrist and asked: "Then why did you lie to my Junior Sister Fang and ask her to marry you as my wife?"
Wei Xiaobao said: "Where did you hear this sentence?" Liu Yizhou said: "I heard what Fang Shimei said to the little princess with my own ears, is it true?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Did the two of them say it themselves, or Tell you?" Liu Yizhou hesitated for a moment, and said, "It was the two of them who said it."
It turned out that Xu Tianchuan went to Shijiazhuang with Fang Yi and Mu Jianping, and they met Wu Lishen, Ao Biao and Liu Yizhou after a short trip.Wu Lishen and the other three were tortured in the palace of the Qing Dynasty. Although they didn't hurt their muscles and bones, their whole bodies were bruised and bruised. They had to go to Shijiazhuang to recuperate after riding in a cart. But Fang Yi's expression towards Liu Yizhou was quite different from the past, except for calling "Senior Brother Liu" when they met, she was very indifferent after that, and never ignored him again.Liu Yizhou tried to pull her aside several times to say something intimate, but Fang Yi always stayed with Mu Jianping and refused to leave.Liu Yizhou was anxious and annoyed, he was pressing hard.Fang Yi said: "Brother Liu, from now on, the two of us are just brothers and sisters, other than that, there is no need to mention or think about it." Liu Yizhou was startled, and asked: "Then...then why? "Fang Yi said coldly: "No reason." Liu Yizhou took her hand and said urgently: "Junior Sister, you..." Fang Yi shook her hard, broke free from his hand, and shouted: "Please be respectful!" Liu Yizhou was bored with begging the boss, this night in the inn, he tossed and turned hard to sleep, his mood was agitated, he got up quietly, and came to the window of the inn room where Fang Yi and Mu Jianping were staying, and sure enough they could hear the two whispering. speak loudly: Mu Jianping said: "You treat Brother Liu like this, doesn't it make him very sad?" Fang Yi said: "Then what can be done? The sooner he is sad, the sooner he forgets me, the sooner he will not be sad." Mu Jianping Said: "Are you really determined to marry...a kid like Wei Xiaobao? He is so young, can you be his wife?" Fang Yi said: "You want to marry this little monkey yourself, so you advise me to be nice to my senior brother , isn’t it?” Mu Jianping said anxiously: “No, no! Then you should go and marry Brother Wei.” Fang Yi sighed, and said: "I swore and swear, have you forgotten? That day I said: 'The emperor is above, and the earth is below. If Eunuch Gui can save Liu Yizhou from danger, the little girl Fang Yi will marry her. I married my father-in-law, and I will be loyal to her husband all my life. If I have two hearts, I will never be reborn." I said again: "The little princess is the witness." I will never forget, and you will never forget. " Mu Jianping said: "Of course I said that, but I think...he was just joking around and didn't take it seriously." Fang Yi said: "It doesn't matter if he is serious or fake. But we are girls , since I have promised him my life with my own mouth, I will never regret it, and I must stick to it. What's more... let alone..." Mu Jianping said: "What's more?" Fang Yi said: "I think about it carefully. After that, even if what he said can be denied, but he...he once shared the same bed with the two of us, and slept under the same quilt..." Mu Jianping laughed and said: "Brother Wei is really naughty, He also said that there was such a book, what is it called 'Prince Mu set three arrows on Yunnan, Eunuch Gui embraced the beauty', senior sister, he really hugged you and made your face fragrant!" Fang Yi Sighed, no longer speak. Liu Yizhou outside the window could only hear the burning inside, the world was spinning, and he couldn't stand still. Fang Yi said again: "Actually, although he is young and speaks glibly, he treats us well. After this breakup, I don't know when we will meet again." Mu Jianping laughed again , whispered: "Sister, you are missing him!" Fang Yi said: "If you miss him, you miss him, so what?" Mu Jianping said: "Yes, I miss him too. I invited him several times He asked him to go to Shijiazhuang with us, but he always said that he had something important to do. Sister, do you think this is true or not?" Fang Yi said: "When I was working as a top student in the restaurant, I heard him Chatted with the coachman and asked the distance to Shanxi. It seems that he is going to Shanxi." Mu Jianping said: "He is so young, and he goes to Shanxi alone. What should he do if he encounters a bad person on the way?" Fang Yi sighed In a low tone, he said: "I wanted to tell Mr. Xu that it is better to escort him instead of escorting us, but Mr. Xu will definitely not agree." Mu Jianping said: "Sister, I...I want to..." Fang Yi said: "What?" Mu Jianping sighed, and said: "It's nothing." Fang Yi said: "It's a pity that both of us have injuries, otherwise, we will go to Shanxi with him. Now we are with Uncle Wu, Senior Brother Liu and the others. If we do, we won't be able to find him." Liu Yizhou felt dizzy when he heard this, and with a bang, his forehead hit the pane. Fang Yi and Mu Jianping asked in surprise, "What?" Liu Yizhou was on fire with jealousy, as if he had gone mad, he just thought: "I'll kill this kid, I'll kill this kid!" He grabbed the front yard, took a horse, opened the door of the inn, got on the horse and galloped .He thought that since Wei Xiaobao went to Shanxi, he would head west.I rushed to Tianming, asked about the distance to Shanxi, and chased down along the main road. Whenever I saw a single-track cart, I asked, "Is there a child in the cart?"
Wei Xiaobao heard from Liu Yizhou that he knew the reason because he heard the conversation between the little princess and Fang Yi, he must have overheard it, his knowledge was limited, he said with a smile: "Brother Liu, you have been fooled by your junior sister. "Liu Yizhou said: "What did you fall for?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Miss Fang told me that she will be angry with you, because she tried her best to save you, but you don't take her seriously at all." Liu Yizhou He said anxiously: "Where...how can this matter? Why don't I take her to heart?" Wei Xiaobao said: "You gave her a silver hairpin, didn't you? There is a plum blossom on the head of the silver hairpin." Liu Yizhou said: "Yes, yes! How do you know?" Wei Xiaobao said: "She was fighting in the palace. At that time, she dropped the silver hairpin, as if in a hurry, and said that it was a gift from her sweetheart, and she couldn’t let it go, even if she risked her life, she had to go find it.” Liu Yizhou was stunned, pondering Said: "She... she treats me so well?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Of course, so could it be fake?" Liu Yizhou asked: "What happened afterwards?" Wei Xiaobao said: "You're twisting like this, I'm in terrible pain, how can I talk?" Liu Yizhou said: "Okay!" Hearing that Fang Yi treated him so affectionately, most of his anger had subsided, and he thought that the child would not escape his palm anyway, so he let go of his hand and asked, "What happened next?" Wei Xiaobao's arm was painful and numb from being held by him, he slowly inserted the dagger into the boot, and saw that there was a ring of finger prints on his wrist, red and swollen, and said: "People in Mu Palace like to grab people's wrists, if you do this, The same is true for Bai Hanfeng. The "turtle grabbing hand" move in Mujiaquan is really good." He said the word "turtle" in "turtle grabbing hand" was very vague, but Liu Yizhou didn't understand it, so he ignored it. , and asked: "Junior Sister Fang lost the silver hairpin I gave her, what happened afterwards?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I can't breathe from the claws of your tortoise, I have to rest before I can talk. All in all, whether or not you marry Miss Fang as your wife is a matter of seniority." This time Liu Yizhou understood the word "turtle claw".But what made him angry was that Wei Xiaobao tricked Fang Yi into agreeing to marry him, but he didn't care about taking advantage of him verbally, and he heard him say: "Whether you marry Miss Fang as a wife or not, this has nothing to do with the boss." ", he was very concerned, and asked: "Speak quickly, don't procrastinate." Wei Xiaobao said: "You have to sit down and rest for a while before you have the strength to speak." Liu Yizhou had no choice but to follow him When they came to a big tree by the forest, they saw him sitting on the root of the tree, and immediately sat beside him. Wei Xiaobao sighed, and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity." Liu Yizhou was immediately worried, and quickly asked: "What a pity?" Wei Xiaobao said: "It's a pity that your junior sister is not here, otherwise if she can sit here with you, talk to you Talking about love, flirting and scolding, she really likes it in her heart." Liu Yizhou was so happy that he couldn't help laughing, and asked, "How do you know?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I heard from her. That day she lost her silver hairpin and risked her life to rush through the three gates guarded by the guards of the Qing palace. When I found the silver hairpin, I said, "Miss Fang, you are so stupid. How much is a silver hairpin worth? I'll give you one thousand taels of silver. Let's make three of these hairpins in one go." Four thousand. You put ten hairpins on your head every day, and every day is different. For three hundred and sixty days a year, you put new hairpins every day." Miss Fang said, "What do you know, you little boy? This is me. The one my dear senior brother Liu gave me, you gave me a thousand or ten thousand hairpins, even if they are gold hairpins or pearl hairpins, how can they compare to the one silver hairpin, copper hairpin, etc. that my dear senior brother Liu gave me? Iron hairpin?' Brother Liu, don’t you think this girl is quite confused?” Hearing these words, Liu Yizhou laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and asked, "Why...why did she talk to the little Princess in the middle of the night, and she said something different?" Wei Xiaobao said: "You were eavesdropping outside their room in the middle of the night, didn't you?" Liu Yizhou blushed slightly, and said: "It's not eavesdropping, I just got up to pee at night and just overheard it." Wei Xiaobao said: "Brother Liu , it's your fault. Where is it that you don't want to urinate, why did you urinate under Miss Fang's window, wouldn't the stench be so bad that it would spoil the two embarrassing girls?" Liu Yizhou said: "Yes, yes! What did my Junior Sister Fang say later?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I'm very hungry and I don't have the energy to talk, go and buy me something to eat. I'm full. I can only speak out after listening to the disgusting words of your Junior Sister Fang. "He only hoped to lure Liu Yizhou to the town, where he could slip away among the crowd. Liu Yizhou said: "What taught people to listen to the disgusting? Junior sister Fang is very serious, she never said disgusting things." Wei Xiaobao said: "Well, she is very serious, she never said disgusting things. She said: 'My Kiss senior brother Liu!' Then he said: 'My considerate and beautiful senior brother Liu', damn it, you don't feel nasty when you hear it, but the more I hear it, the more embarrassing I become. Hmph, I'm not ashamed to say such things. " Liu Yizhou was elated, but said: "No way? How could Junior Sister Fang say such a thing?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, okay! I was wrong. Brother Liu, I'm going to find something to eat, sorry." stand up. Liu Yizhou was feeling itchy when he heard that, how could he let him go, he pressed his shoulder lightly, and said: "Brother Wei, don't hurry away! I have a few pancakes for dry food here, you eat first Alright, after I finish talking, go to the town ahead, and I'll treat you to wine and noodles, and I have to apologize to you." He opened the package on his back and took out a few pancakes. Wei Xiaobao took a pancake, tore off a piece, chewed a few times in his mouth, and said, "Is this pancake salty, sour or not? What is it? You can eat it and show me." Give him back a corner of the pancake. Liu Yizhou said: "This cake is hard, so the taste is not very good, let's deal with it to satisfy our hunger." He tore off a piece of the cake and ate it. Wei Xiaobao said: "I don't know what to do with these few pancakes." He turned over a few pancakes and picked them out, flipped them a few times, and said, "I'm so desperate to urinate, I'll eat after I urinate." Walking to the side of a big tree, Turned around, opened his pants to pee. Liu Yizhou stared at him intently, afraid that he would run away suddenly. After urinating, Wei Xiaobao came back and sat beside Liu Yizhou, turned over several pancakes, finally picked one, tore it open and ate it.Liu Yizhou chased him for a long time, he was already hungry, he took a piece of pancake and ate it, while eating, he said: "Could it be that Fang Shimei and the little princess are saying this deliberately to bully me?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I'm not the roundworm in your junior sister Fang's stomach, how do you know what she's thinking? You are her dear senior brother, why don't you know and ask me instead?" Liu Yizhou said: "Okay! It was just now I was reckless and offended you, so don't play tricks!" Wei Xiaobao said: "Since I say that, let me tell you the truth. Your Junior Sister Fang is very beautiful, if I wasn't an eunuch, I would have wanted to marry her as my wife. But Even if I don't marry her, I'm afraid it won't be your turn." Liu Yizhou hurriedly asked: "Why? Why?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Don't be impatient, eat another pancake, I will tell you slowly." Liu Yizhou said: "Damn it, you are always hesitating when you speak, it's tempting..." When he said this, he suddenly shook his body.Wei Xiaobao said: "What? Are you uncomfortable? I'm afraid the pancakes are not clean." Liu Yizhou said: "What?" He stood up, wobbled around in a circle, and suddenly fell to the ground. Wei Xiaobao laughed loudly, kicked him on the buttocks, and said, "Hey! How come there is sweat medicine in your pancakes? This is really strange." Liu Yizhou murmured, not knowing anything. Wei Xiaobao kicked him twice again, seeing that he was not moving at all, so he took off his belt and trousers, tied his feet firmly, and tied his hands behind his back.Seeing a stone next to the big tree, he turned it over hard, revealing a hole, and underneath was a pile of rocks. He removed the rocks one by one, dug a four-foot-deep earth hole, and said with a smile, "I buried you alive today." "Drag him into the hole, stand upright, dig the rocks and soil into the hole, and press down firmly, the soil buried his upper arms, only his head and shoulders were exposed. Wei Xiaobao was very proud, walked to the side of the stream, took off his soaked robe, went back to Liu Yizhou, twisted the robe, and poured the stream water on his head. Liu Yizhou was jolted by the cold water, and slowly woke up. He didn't know why for a while, and wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all.I saw Wei Xiaobao sitting on the side with his knees hugged, looking at him with a smile, after a while, he understood what he was saying, he struggled a few more times, he remained motionless, and said: "Good brother, don't be joking! " Wei Xiaobao scolded: "Straight mother, I have so many important things to do, I'm just joking with you, a stinky bastard!" He kicked him so hard that his right cheek was dripping with blood, and cursed: "Miss Fang is my wife, Are you worthy of thinking about her? You stinking thief made me feel so painful, you slapped me, and whipped me, I will cut off your ears first, then your nose, and I will kill you with a knife." He took out the dagger, bent down, and slapped his face twice with the edge of the blade. Liu Yizhou was scared out of his wits, and shouted: "Brother...Wei...Brother Wei, Master Wei Xiang, please look at the affection of Prince Mu's residence, high...raise your hand." Wei Xiaobao said: "I will send you from the palace. You were rescued, but you avenged your kindness and wanted to kill me, hehe, with your little knowledge, you also want to break ground on the head of Tai Sui? You told me to look at Mu Wangfu's affection, when you caught me just now, what did you do? Don’t look at the Tiandihui’s affection again?” Liu Yizhou said: “It’s true that I am not, I made a mistake! Please...please...please forgive me.” Wei Xiaobao said: "I will cut your mother's three hundred and sixty knives on your head, so as to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" Lifting his braid, he cut it off with one knife.The dagger was extremely sharp, it cut off the braid with a snort, and then pushed it back and forth on the top of his head, in a short while, the hair fell out and he was shaved into a bald head.Wei Xiaobao scolded: "You are bald, I am angry when I see the monk, I must kill him!" Liu Yizhou laughed and said: "Master Wei Xiang, I am not a monk." Wei Xiaobao scolded: "You are not a fucking monk, why did you shave your scalp and come here to deceive the master?" Liu Yizhou thought: "Obviously you shaved How can you blame me?" But his life was in his hands, so he didn't dare to argue with him, so he laughed and said, "Thousands of mistakes, all of them are villains, Mr. Wei Xiang has a lot of people, don't take it to heart .” Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, then let me ask you, whose wife is Miss Fang Yifang?" Liu Yizhou said: "This... this..." Wei Xiaobao said loudly: "What this and that? Say it quickly!" Lifting the dagger, he swung it around his face.Liu Yizhou thought to himself that a good man would not suffer from immediate disadvantages. This brat is a eunuch, so let him take some verbal advantages. Otherwise, if he really swung his sword and lost a nose or an ear, it would be extremely bad. He hurriedly said: "She... She is of course Wei Xiangzhu...it is Wei Xiangzhu, your wife." Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "She, who is she? You can speak clearly. I don't want to hear the monks' vague words." Talk." Liu Yizhou said: "Junior Sister Fang Yifang is your wife, Lord Wei Xiang." Wei Xiaobao said: "Let's make things clear. Are you my friend?" Liu Yizhou was overjoyed when he heard his tone loosen, and hurriedly said: "The villain didn't dare to climb high. If Master Wei Xiang is willing to treat me as a friend, I... naturally I can't ask for it." Wei Xiaobao said: "I treat you as a friend. Friends. Friends in the world talk about loyalty, don’t you?” Liu Yizhou hurriedly said: “Yes, yes. A good friend should be loyal.” Wei Xiaobao said: “A friend’s wife is not to be played with. If you continue to cheat on my wife, you will be a little girl Four, what is that? You swear an oath!" Liu Yizhou secretly complained, thinking he had been fooled again.Wei Xiaobao said: "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I knew you were sneaky and malicious, and you just wanted to flirt with my wife." Seeing him brandishing the dagger again, Liu Yizhou hurriedly said, "No, No. To Wei Xiangzhu's wife, I am determined not to have malicious intentions." Wei Xiaobao said: "In the future, if you look at Miss Fang more and say a word, then what?" Liu Yizhou said: "Then... ... Then you will be destroyed." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then you are a bastard tortoise!" Liu Yizhou said with a bitter face: "Yes, yes!" Wei Xiaobao said: "What is right? What the hell are you doing to you?" Pointing the dagger point on his right eyelid.Liu Yizhou said: "In the future, if I look at Junior Sister Fang one more time and say one more word, I... I am a bastard tortoise!" Wei Xiaobao laughed, and said: "Since that's the case, I'll let you go. I'll let you piss on your head first, and then I'll let you go." He inserted the dagger into the boot, and unfastened his trouser belt with both hands. Suddenly, a woman's voice in the woods shouted: "You...how can you bully people too much!"
Hearing Fang Yi's voice, Wei Xiaobao was surprised and delighted, turned his head and saw three people walking out of the forest, the first one was Fang Yi, followed by Mu Jianping and Xu Tianchuan.After a while, two more people walked out, but it was Wu Lishen and Ao Biao. The five of them had been hiding in the forest for a long time, and they had heard the conversation between Wei and Liu clearly. Seeing that Wei Xiaobao was about to urinate on Liu Yizhou's head, forming a deep and unsolvable resentment, Fang Yi couldn't help shouting to stop. Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "So you've already been here, for Mr. Wu's sake, this pissing can be avoided." Xu Tianchuan hurried over, pushed aside the rocks and soil around Liu Yizhou's body with both hands, picked him up, and untied the belt tied around his hands and feet.Liu Yizhou was so ashamed that he lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of everyone. Wu Lishen's face was ashen, and he said: "Nephew Liu Xian, our lives were saved by Master Wei Xiang, why did you repay your kindness, bully the small with the big, beat and scolded him, and twisted his arm? Your master knows, will you?" How do you say it?" As he said, he shook his head, his tone was very displeased, and he said: "We are in the Jianghu, the most important thing is the word 'loyalty', how can we be jealous and use force against a good friend? Ingratitude, that is Even worse than pigs and dogs!" With a bah sound, he spat on the ground.The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he continued: "Last night when you rushed out in such a fiery manner in the middle of the night, everyone knew something was wrong. Along the way, you beat Master Wei Xiang until his cheeks became red and swollen, and you twisted his arm, The point of the sword is pointed at his throat, if one misses his hand and hurts his life, what should we do?" Liu Yizhou said angrily: "A life is worth a life, and I will pay him back." Wu Lishen said angrily: "Hey, you said it so easily, what kind of hero are you? With your life, is it worth Wei Xiangzhu, one of the top ten incense masters of the Heaven and Earth Association? Besides, your life Where did it come from? Didn’t Master Wei Xiang save you? You are not grateful, and people already want to look down on you, so you dare to make a move against Wei Xiang?” Liu Yizhou was forced by Wei Xiaobao to swear and swear. At that time, his life was hanging by his hands. Now he had to be free. Thinking that Fang Yi had listened to these words, he felt ashamed and indignant. He kept on talking about the lessons, and couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment. He broke his heart and said viciously: "Uncle Wu, the matter has been done, and the surname Wei didn't hurt a single hair. You old man can do whatever he wants. stop!" Wu Lishen jumped up, pointed at his face, and shouted: "Liu Yizhou, you are so indifferent to the uncle. You want to fight with me, don't you?" Liu Yizhou said: "I didn't say, and it's not yours. Opponent." Wu Lishen was even more annoyed, and said sharply, "If your martial arts are better than mine, then you have to fight, right? You are greedy for life and afraid of death in the palace of the Qing Dynasty. I said my name. I was concerned about Brother Liu’s face, so I never mentioned this matter. Hmph! Hmph! You’re not my disciple, you’re lucky.” That obviously means that if you were my disciple, you would have been killed with a knife up. Liu Yizhou lowered his head when he heard him expose his ugly behavior of cowardly begging for mercy in the Qing Palace, his face was pale, and he remained silent. Seeing that he had gained the upper hand, Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Mr. Wu, Big Brother Liu is just playing around with everyone, so don't take it seriously. I'm begging you, don't tell Mr. Liu about the past. .” Wu Lishen said: "Master Wei Xiang has ordered you to do so." He turned to Liu Yizhou and said, "Look, after all, Master Wei Xiang is doing great things, how magnanimous is his measure?" Wei Xiaobao smiled at Fang Yi and Mu Jianping: "Why are you here?" Fang Yi said: "Come here, I have something to tell you." Wei Xiaobao approached with a smile.Seeing that Fang Yi was so affectionate to Wei Xiaobao in front of everyone, Liu Yizhou put his hand on the handle of the knife, and couldn't help but draw the knife and go forward to fight desperately.Suddenly there was a slap, Wei Xiaobao had already received a hot slap across the face. Wei Xiaobao was taken aback, jumped a few steps away, pressed his hand on his cheek, and said angrily: "You...why are you beating someone?" Fang Yi raised her brows, blushed, and said angrily: "Who do you take me for? What did you say to Senior Brother Liu? Behind others' backs, you treat me like this?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I didn't say anything... ...bad words." Fang Yi said: "I still said no, I heard every sentence. You...you...both of you are not good people." Angry and anxious, she shed tears. Xu Tianchuan thought to himself that this was the children's nonsense, it was not a big deal, but don't hurt the harmony between Tiandihui and Muwangfu, he laughed and said: "Wei Xiangzhu and Senior Brother Liu both suffered a little loss, Even if it's a straight talk. Old man Xu is very hungry, let's find a restaurant quickly and eat and drink to our heart's content." Suddenly a northeasterly wind blew by, and there was a burst of soybean-like raindrops floating in the air.Xu Tianchuan looked up at the sky, and said: "It's October, it's raining for no reason, it's really weird." Seeing clouds of dark clouds approaching from the northeast corner, he said: "I'm afraid this rain is not small, let's We need to find a place to hide from the rain."
The seven walked west along the avenue.Fang Yi and Mu Jianping's injuries were not healed, and they couldn't walk fast.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was not even a farmhouse or a gazebo along the way. After a while, the seven people were all soaked.Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "Let's go slowly, everyone. If you walk fast, you will be drowned. If you walk slowly, you will be drowned. It's the same anyway." The seven of them walked for a while, and when they heard the sound of water, they came to a river and saw a hut half a mile upstream.The seven of them were overjoyed, they quickened their pace, and when they walked closer, they saw that the house was a dilapidated temple, but it was always a shelter from the rain. Although it was dilapidated, it was better than nothing.The gate of the temple has long been rotten, and when you enter the temple, you can feel the smell of mold. After Fang Yi walked for a while, the wound on her chest was already in great pain, she couldn't help frowning, and clenched her teeth.Xu Tianchuan tore down some broken tables and chairs, lit a fire, and asked everyone to dry their clothes.But seeing that the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and the rain was getting heavier.Xu Tianchuan took out dry food and bread from the package and distributed them to everyone. Liu Yizhou stuffed the roots of his braids into his hat, barely dragging a braid.Wei Xiaobao looked left and right at him with a smile. Mu Jianping smiled and asked Wei Xiaobao: "Just now, what did you do in Senior Brother Liu's pancake?" Wei Xiaobao stared and said, "No, what would I do?" Mu Jianping said, "Hmph, you still don't recognize it Why did Senior Brother Liu faint from the Mongolian sweat medicine again?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Did he get the Mongolian sweat medicine? When? Why didn't I know? I don't think so. Isn't he just sitting and warming himself by the fire?" Mu Jianping groaned With a sound, he pretended to be angry and said: "I will pretend to be stupid and pretend to be stupid, so I won't tell you." Sitting aside, Fang Yi was also full of doubts.Earlier when Liu Yizhou caught Wei Xiaobao and other things, they could only see them from a distance, but they couldn't see them clearly. Later, Liu and Wei sat side by side under the tree talking, and they approached on tiptoe, hiding in the woods. Liu Yizhou took it out of the package, and he kept staring at Wei Xiaobao intently to prevent him from escaping. Why did he faint in a blink of an eye? Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "Perhaps Senior Brother Liu has a sheep hanging disease, and it suddenly occurs. I don't know about personnel." Liu Yizhou was furious, stood up abruptly, pointed at him and shouted, "You...you little..." Fang Yi glared at Wei Xiaobao, and said: "Come here." Wei Xiaobao said: "You want to beat someone again, so I won't come." Fang Yi said: "You can't say anything that hurt Senior Brother Liu, children, you don't even need to talk about it. Virtue." Wei Xiaobao stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.Seeing Fang Yi helping him twice, Liu Yizhou was very grateful, thinking: "This little devil is wicked and evil, after all, Junior Sister Fang is still good to me." It was getting dark.The seven people sat on the ground around a fire. Water leaked everywhere in the ruined temple, and the ground was rarely dry.Suddenly, water leaked from the top of Wei Xiaobao's head, and the water dripped onto his shoulders.He gave way to the left, but there was also a leak on the left.Fang Yi said: "Come here, there is no water leakage here." After a pause, she said: "Don't be afraid, I won't beat you." Wei Xiaobao smiled and sat beside her. Fang Yi moved her mouth to Mu Jianping's ear, whispered a few words, Mu Jianping smiled, nodded, put her mouth to Wei Xiaobao's ear, and whispered: "Senior Sister Fang said, she and you are my own Man, this is why I beat you and asked you not to offend Senior Brother Liu, and asked if you understand what she means?" Wei Xiaobao whispered in her ear: "What are you? I don't understand." Mu Jianping said passed on.Fang Yi rolled his eyes at him, and said to Mu Jianping: "The oath I swore and the curse I swore will count forever, so he can rest assured." Mu Jianping passed on the words again. Wei Xiaobao whispered in Mu Jianping's ear: "Miss Fang and I are on our own, what about you?"Wei Xiaobao smiled and turned sideways, nodding to Fang Yi.Fang Yi was smiling but not smiling, angry but not angry, under the light of the fire, she was indescribably beautiful.Wei Xiaobao smelled the faint fragrance of the second daughter, and was overjoyed. The place where Liu Yizhou was sitting was quite far from the three of them, and he stretched his neck, as if he could vaguely hear something like "Brother Liu" or "one of us", but nothing else.瞧他三人嘻嘻哈哈，神态亲密，显是将自己当做了外人，忍不住又是妒恨交作。 方怡又在沐剑屏耳边低声道：“你问他，到底使了什么法儿，才将刘师哥迷倒。”韦小宝见方怡一脸好奇之色，终于悄悄对沐剑屏说了：“我小便之时，背转了身子，左手中抓了一把蒙汗药，回头去翻检薄饼，饼上自然涂了药粉。我吃的那张饼，只用右手拿，左手全然不碰。这可懂了吗？”沐剑屏道：“原来如此。”传话之后，方怡又问：“你哪里来的蒙汗药？”韦小宝道：“宫里侍卫给的，救你刘师哥，用的就是这些药粉。”这时大雨倾盆，在屋面上打得哗啦啦急响，韦小宝的嘴唇直碰到沐剑屏耳朵，所说的话才能听到。 刘一舟心下焦躁，霍地站起身来，背脊重重在柱子上一靠，突然喀喇喇几声响，头顶掉下几片瓦来。这座破庙早已朽烂，给大雨一浸，北风一吹，已然支撑不住，跟着一根根椽子和瓦片砖泥纷纷跌落。徐天川叫道：“不好，这庙要倒，大家快出去。” 七人奔出庙去，没走得几步，便听得轰隆隆一声巨响，庙顶塌了一大片，跟着又有半堵墙倒了下来。
便在此时，只听得马蹄声响，十余乘马自东南方疾驰而来，片刻间奔到近处，黑暗中影影绰绰，马上都骑得有人。 一个苍老的声音说道：“啊哟，这里本来有座小庙，可以躲雨，偏偏又倒了。”另一人大声问道：“喂，老乡，你们在这里干甚么？”徐天川道：“我们在庙里躲雨，这庙塌了下来，险些儿都给压死了。”马上一人骂道：“他妈的，落这样大雨，老天爷可不是疯了。”另一人道：“赵老三，除了这小庙，附近一间屋都没有？有没有山洞什么的？” 那苍老的声音道：“有……有是有的，不过也同没有差不多。”一名汉子骂道：“你奶奶的，到底有是没有？”那老头道：“这里向西北，山坳中有一座鬼屋，是有恶鬼的，谁也不敢去，那不是跟没有差不多？” 马上众人大声笑骂起来：“老子才不怕鬼屋哩。有恶鬼最好，揪了出来当点心。”又有人喝道：“快领路！又不是洗澡，在这大雨里泡着，你道滋味好得很么？”赵老三道：“各位爷们，老儿没嫌命长，可不敢去了。我劝各位也别去罢。这里向北，再行三十里，便有市镇。”马上众人都道：“这般大雨，哪里再挨得三十来里？快别啰唆，咱们这许多人，还怕什么鬼？”赵老三道：“好罢，大伙儿向西北，拐个弯儿，沿山路进坳，就只一条路，不会错的……”众人不等他说完，已纵马向西北方驰去。赵老三骑的是头驴子，微一迟疑，拉过驴头，回头向东南方来路而去。 徐天川道：“吴二哥，韦香主，咱们怎么办？”吴立身道：“我看……”但随即想起，该当由韦小宝出主意才是，跟着道：“请韦香主吩咐，该当如何？”韦小宝怕鬼，只是说不出口，道：“吴大叔说罢，我可没什么主意。”吴立身道：“恶鬼什么，都是乡下人胡说八道。就算真的有鬼，咱们也跟他拚上一拚。”韦小宝道：“有些鬼是瞧不见的，等到瞧见，已经来不及啦。”言下之意，显然是怕鬼。 刘一舟大声道：“怕什么妖魔鬼怪？在雨中再淋得半个时辰，人人都非生病不可。” 韦小宝见沐剑屏不住发颤，确是难以支持，又不愿在方怡面前示弱，输给了刘一舟，便道：“好，大伙儿这就去罢！倘若见到恶鬼，可须小心！” 七人依着那赵老三所说，向西北走进了山坳，黑暗中却寻不到道路，但见树林中白茫茫地，有一条小瀑布冲下来。韦小宝道：“寻不到路，叫做'鬼打墙'，这是恶鬼在迷人。”徐天川道：“这片水就是路了，山水沿着小路流下来。”吴立身道：“正是！”踏着瀑布走上坡去。余人跟随而上，爬上山坡。 听得左首树林中有马嘶之声，知道那十几个乘马汉子便在那边。徐天川心想：“这批人不知是什么来头。”但想自己和吴立身联手，寻常武师便有几十人也不放在心上，当下踏水寻路，高一脚低一脚的向林中走去。 一到林中，更加黑了，只听得前面嘭嘭嘭敲门，果然有屋。韦小宝又惊又喜，忽觉有人伸手过来，拉住了他手。那手掌软绵绵地，跟着耳边有人柔声道：“别怕！”正是方怡。 但听敲门之声不绝，始终没人开门。七人走到近处，只见黑沉沉的一大片屋子。 一众乘马人大声叫嚷：“开门，开门！避雨来的！”叫了好一会，屋内半点动静也无。一人道：“没人住的！”另一人道：“赵老三说是鬼屋，谁敢来住？跳进墙去罢！”白光闪动，两人拔出兵刃，跳进墙去，开了大门。众人一涌而进。 徐天川心想：“这些人果是武林中的，看来武功也不甚高。”七人跟着进去。 大门里面是个好大的天井，再进去是座大厅。有人从身边取出油包，解开来取出火刀火石，打着了火，见厅中桌上有蜡烛，便去点燃了。众人眼前突现光亮，都是一阵喜慰，见厅上陈设着紫檀木的桌椅茶几，竟是大户人家的气派。 徐天川心下嘀咕：“桌椅上全无灰尘，地下打扫得这等清洁，屋里怎会没人？” 只听一名汉子说道：“这厅上干干净净的，屋里有人住的。”另一人大声嚷道：“喂，喂，屋里有人吗？屋里有人么？”大厅又高又大，他大声叫嚷，隐隐竟有回声。 回声一止，四下除了大雨之声，竟无其他声息。众人面面相觑，都觉颇为古怪。 一名白发老者问徐天川道：“你们几位都是江湖上朋友么？”徐天川道：“在下姓许，这几个有的是家人，有的是亲戚，要去山西探亲，不想遇上了这场大雨。达官爷贵姓？”那老者点了点头，见他们七人中有老头，有小孩，又有女子，也不起疑心，却不答他问话，说道：“这屋子可有点儿古怪。” 又有一名汉子叫道：“屋里有人没有？都死光了吗？”停了片刻，仍是无人回答。 那老者坐在椅上，指着六个人道：“你们六个到后面瞧瞧去！”六名汉子拔兵刃在手，向后进走去。六人微微弓腰，走得甚慢，神情颇为戒惧。耳听得踢门声、喝问声不断传来，并无异状，声音越去越远，显然屋子极大，一时走不到尽头。那老者指着另外四人道：“找些木柴来点几个火把，跟着去瞧瞧。”那四人奉命而去。 韦小宝等七人坐在大厅长窗的门槛上，谁也不开口说话。徐天川见那群人中有十人走向后进，厅上尚有八人，穿的都是布袍，瞧模样似是什么帮会的帮众，又似是镖局的镖客，却没押镖，一时摸不清他们路子。 韦小宝忍不住道：“姊姊，你说这屋里有没有鬼？”方怡还没回答，刘一舟抢着说道：“当然有鬼！什么地方没死过人？死过人就有鬼。”韦小宝打了个寒噤，身子一缩。 刘一舟道：“天下恶鬼都欺善怕恶，专迷小孩子。大人阳气盛，吊死鬼啦，大头鬼啦，就不敢招惹大人。” 方怡从衣襟底下伸手过去，握住了韦小宝左手，说道：“人怕鬼，鬼更怕人呢。一有火光，鬼就逃走了。” 只听得脚步声响，先到后面察看的六名汉子回到厅上，脸上神气透着十分古怪，七嘴八舌的说道：“一个人也没有，可是到处打扫得干干净净的。”“床上铺着被褥，床底下有鞋子，都是娘儿们的。”“衣柜里放的都是女人衣衫，男人衣服却一件也没有！” 刘一舟大声叫道：“女鬼！一屋子都是女鬼！” 众人一齐转头瞧着他，一时之间，谁都没作声。 突然听得后面四人怪声大叫，那老者一跃而起，正要抢到后面去接应，那四人已奔入大厅，手中火把都已熄灭，叫道：“死人，死人真多！”脸上尽是惊惶之色。 那老者沉着脸道：“大惊小怪的，我还道是遇上了敌人呢。死人有什么可怕？”一名汉子道：“不是可怕，是……是希奇古怪。”那老者道：“什么希奇古怪？”另一名汉子道：“东边一间屋子里，都……都是死人灵堂，也不知共有多少。”那老者沉吟道：“有没有死人和棺材？”两名汉子对望了一眼，齐道：“没……没瞧清楚，好像没有。” 那老者道：“多点几根火把，大伙儿瞧瞧去。说不定是座祠堂，那也平常得紧。”他虽说得轻描淡写，但语气中也显得大为犹豫，似乎明知祠堂并非如此。 他手下众汉子便在大厅拆桌拆椅，点成火把，向后院涌去。 徐天川道：“我去瞧瞧，各位在这里待着。”跟在众人之后走了进去。 敖彪问道：“师父，这些人是什么路道？”吴立身摇头道：“瞧不出，听口音似乎是鲁东、关东一带的人，不像是六扇门的鹰爪。莫非是私枭？可又没见带货。” 刘一舟道：“那一伙人也没什么大不了，倒是这屋中的大批女鬼，可厉害着呢！”说着向韦小宝伸了伸舌头。韦小宝打了个寒噤，紧紧握住了方怡的手，自己掌心中尽是冷汗。沐剑屏颤声道：“刘……刘师哥，你别老是吓人，好不好？”刘一舟道：“小郡主，你不用担心，你是金枝玉叶，什么恶鬼见了你都远远避开，不敢侵犯。恶鬼最憎的就是不男不女的太监。”方怡柳眉一轩，脸有怒色，待要说话，却又忍住了。 过了好一会，才听得脚步声响，众人回到大厅。韦小宝吁了口长气，心下略宽。徐天川低声道：“七八间屋子里，共有三十来座灵堂，每座灵堂上都供了五六个、七八个牌位，看来每一座灵堂上供的是一家死人。”刘一舟道：“嘿嘿，这屋子里岂不是有几百个恶鬼？”徐天川摇了摇头，他见多识广，可从未听见过这等怪事，过了一会，缓缓的道：“最奇怪的是，灵堂前都点了蜡烛。”韦小宝、方怡、沐剑屏三人同时惊叫出来。 一名汉子道：“我们先前进去时，蜡烛明明没点着。”那老者问道：“你们没记错？”四名汉子你瞧瞧我，我瞧瞧你，都摇了摇头。那老者道：“不是有鬼，咱们遇上了高人。顷刻之间，将三十几座灵堂中的蜡烛都点燃了，这身手可也真敏捷得很。许老爷子，你说是不是呢？”最后这句话是向着徐天川而说。徐天川假作痴呆，说道：“咱们恐怕冲撞了屋主，不……不妨到灵堂前磕……磕几个头。” 雨声之中，东边屋中忽然传来几下女子啼哭，声音甚是凄切，虽然大雨淅沥，这几下哭声却听得清清楚楚。 韦小宝只吓得张口结舌，脸色大变。 众人面面相觑，都是毛骨悚然。过了片刻，西边屋中又传出女子悲泣之声。刘一舟、敖彪、以及两名汉子齐声叫道：“鬼哭！” 那老者哼的一声，突然大声说道：“咱们路经贵处，到此避雨，擅闯宝宅，特此谢过。贤主人可肯赐见么？”这番话中气充沛，远远送了出去。过了良久，后面没丝毫动静。 那老者摇了摇头，大声道：“这里主人既然不愿接见俗客，咱们可不能擅自骚扰。便在厅上避一避雨，一等天明雨停，大伙儿尽快动身。”说着连打手势，命众人不可说话，侧耳倾听，过了良久，不再听到啼哭之声。 一名汉子低声道：“章三爷，管他是人是鬼，一等天明，一把火，把这鬼屋烧成他妈的一片白地。”那老者摇手道：“咱们要紧事情还没办，不可另生枝节。坐下来歇歇罢！”众人衣衫尽湿，便在厅上生起火来。有人取出个酒葫芦，拔开塞子，递给那老者喝酒。 那老者喝了几口酒，斜眼向徐天川瞧了半晌，说道：“许老爷子，你们几个是一家人，怎地口音不同？你是京城里的，这几位却是云南人？” 徐天川笑道：“老爷子好耳音，果然是老江湖。我大妹子嫁在云南。这位是我妹夫。”说着向吴立身一指，又道：“我妹夫、外甥他们都是云南人。我二妹子可又嫁在山西。天南地北的，十几年也难得见一次面。我们这次是上山西探我二妹子去。”他说吴立身是他的妹夫，那是客气话，当时北方习俗，叫人大舅子、小舅子便是骂人。 那老者点了点头，喝了口酒，眯着眼睛道：“几位从北京来？”徐天川道：“正是。”那老者道：“在道上可见到一个十四五岁的小太监？” 此言一出，徐天川等心中都是一凛，幸好那老者只注视着他，而徐天川脸上神色不露，敖彪、沐剑屏脸上变色，旁人却未曾留意。徐天川道：“你说太监？北京城里，老的小的，太监可多得很啊，一出门总撞到几个。”那老者道：“我问你在道上可曾看到，不是说北京城里。”徐天川笑道：“老爷子，你这话可不在行啦。大清的规矩，太监一出京城，就犯死罪。太监们可不像明朝那样威风十足了。现下有哪个太监敢出京城一步？” 那老者“哦”了一声，道：“说不定他改了装呢？” 徐天川连连摇头，说道：“没这个胆子，没这个胆子！”顿了一顿，问道：“老爷子，你找的是怎么个小太监？等我从山西探了亲，回到京城，也可帮你打听打听。” 那老者道：“哼哼，多谢你啦，就不知有没有那么长的命。”说着闭目不语。 徐天川心想：“他打听一个十四五岁的小太监，那不是冲着韦香主吗？这批人既不是天地会，又不是沐王府的，十之八九，没安着善意，可得查问个明白。他不惹过来，我们倒要惹他一惹。”说道：“老爷子，北京城里的小太监，只有一位大大的出名。他大名儿传遍了天下，想来你也听到过，那便是杀了奸臣鳌拜、立了大功的那一位。”那老者睁开眼来，道：“嗯，你说的是小桂子桂公公？”徐天川道：“不是他还有谁呢？这人有胆有勇，武艺高强，实在了不起！”那老者道：“这人相貌怎样？你见过他没有？” 徐天川道：“哈，这桂公公天天在北京城里蹓跶，北京人没见过他的，只怕没几个。这桂公公又黑又胖，是个胖小子，少说也有十八九啦，说什么也不信他只十五岁。” 方怡握着韦小宝的手掌紧了一紧，沐剑屏的手肘在他背心轻轻一撞，都是暗暗好笑。韦小宝本来一直在怕鬼，听那老者问起了自己，心下盘算，将怕鬼的念头便都忘了。 那老者道：“是么？我听人说的，却是不同。听说这桂公公只是个十三四岁的小孩童，就是狡猾机伶，只怕跟你那个外甥倒有三分相像，哈哈，哈哈！”说着向韦小宝瞧去。 刘一舟忽道：“听说那小桂子卑鄙无耻，最会使蒙汗药。他杀死鳌拜，便是先用药迷倒的，否则这小贼又胆小，又怕鬼，怎杀得了鳌拜？”向韦小宝笑吟吟的道：“表弟，你说是不是呢？” 吴立身大怒，反手一掌，向他脸上打去。刘一舟低头避开，左足一弹，已站了起来。吴立身这反手一掌，乃是一招“碧鸡展翅”，刘一舟闪避弹身，使的是招“金马嘶风”，都是“沐家拳”招式。一个打得急，一个避得快，不知不觉间都使出了本门拳法。 那姓章老者霍地站起，笑道：“好啊，众位乔装改扮得好！”他这一站，手下十几人跟着都跳起身来。那老者喝道：“都拿下了！一个都不能放走。”
吴立身从怀中抽出短刀，大头向左一摇，砍翻了一名汉子，向右一摇，又一名汉子咽喉中刀倒地。 那老者双手在腰间摸出一对判官笔，双笔互擦，发出滋滋之声，双笔左点吴立身咽喉，右取徐天川胸口，以一攻二，身手快捷。徐天川向右一冲，左手向一名大汉眼中抓去。那大汉后仰急避，手中单刀已被夺去，腰间一痛，自己的刀已斩入了自己肚子。那边敖彪也已跟人动上了手。刘一舟微一迟疑，解下软鞭，上前厮杀。对方虽然人多，但只那老者和吴立身斗了个旗鼓相当，余下众人都武功平平。 韦小宝看出便宜，心想：“只要不碰那老甲鱼，其余那些我也可对付对付。”握匕首在手，便欲冲上。方怡一把拉住，说道：“咱们赢定了，不用你帮手。”韦小宝心道：“我知道赢定了，这才上前哪。倘若输定，还不快逃？” 忽听得滋滋连声，那老者已跳在一旁，两枝判官笔互相磨擦，他手下众人齐往他身后挤去，迅速之极的排成一个方阵。这些人只几个箭步，便各自站定了方位，十余人既不推拥，亦无碰撞，足见平日习练有素，在这件事上着实花过了不少功夫。 徐天川和吴立身都吃了一惊，退开几步。敖彪奋勇上前，突然间方阵中四刀齐出，二斩其肩，二砍其足，配合得甚是巧妙，中间二杆枪则架开了他砍去的一刀。敖彪“啊”的一声叫，肩头中刀。 吴立身急叫：“彪儿后退！”敖彪向后跃开。战局在一瞬之间，胜负之势突然逆转。 徐天川站在韦小宝和二女之前相护，察看对方这阵法如何运用。只见那老者右手举起判官笔，高声叫道：“洪教主万年不老，永享仙福！寿与天齐，寿与天齐！”那十余名汉子一齐举起兵刃，大呼：“洪教主寿与天齐，寿与天齐！”声震屋瓦，状若颠狂。 徐天川心下骇然，不知他们在捣什么鬼。韦小宝听了“洪教主”三字，蓦地里记起陶红英惧怕已极的神色与言语，脱口而出：“神龙教！他们是神龙教的！” 那老者脸上变色，说道：“你也知道神龙教的名头！”高举右手，又呼：“洪教主神通广大。我教战无不胜，攻无不克，无坚不摧，无敌不破。敌人望风披靡，逃之夭夭。” 徐天川等听得他们每念一句，心中就是一凛，但觉这些人的行为希奇古怪，从所未有，临敌之际，居然大声念起书来。 韦小宝叫道：“这些人会念咒，别上了他们当！大伙儿上前杀啊。” 却听那老者和众人越念越快，已不再是那老者念一句，众人跟一句，而是十余人齐声念诵：“洪教主神通护佑，众弟子勇气百倍，以一当百，以百当万。洪教主神目如电，烛照四方。我弟子杀敌护教，洪教主亲加提拔，升任圣职。我教弟子护教而死，同升天堂！”突然间纵声大呼，疾冲而出。 吴立身、徐天川等挺兵刃相迎，可是这些人在这顷刻之间，竟然武功大进，钢刀砍来，短枪刺到，都比先前劲力加了数倍，如痴如狂，兵刃乱砍乱杀。不数合间，敖彪和刘一舟已被砍倒，跟着韦小宝、方怡、沐剑屏也都给一一打倒。方怡伤腿，沐剑屏伤臂。韦小宝背心上给戳了一枪，幸好有宝衣护身，这一枪没戳入体内，但来势太沉，立足不定，俯身跌倒。过不多时，吴立身和徐天川也先后受伤。那老者接连出指，点了各人身上要穴。 众汉子齐呼：“洪教主神通广大，寿与天齐，寿与天齐！”呼喊完毕，突然一齐坐倒，各人额头汗水有如泉涌，呼呼喘气，显得疲累不堪。这一战不到一盏茶时分便分胜败，这些人却如激斗了好几个时辰一般。 韦小宝心中连珠价叫苦，寻思：“这些人原来都会妖法，无怪陶姑姑一提到神龙教，便吓得什么似的，果然是神通广大。” 那老者坐在椅上闭目养神，过了好一会才站起身来，抹去了额头汗水，在大厅上走来走去，又过了好一会，他手下众人纷纷站起。 那老者向着徐天川等道：“你们一起跟着我念！听好了，我念一句，你们跟一句。洪教主神通广大，寿与天齐！” 徐天川骂道：“邪魔歪道，装神弄鬼，要老子跟着捣鬼，做你娘的清秋大梦！”那老者提起判官笔，在他额头一击，冬的一声，鲜血长流。徐天川骂道：“狗贼，妖人！” 那老者问吴立身道：“你念不念？”吴立身未答先摇头。那老者提起判官笔，也在他额头一击，再问敖彪时，敖彪骂道：“你奶奶的寿与狗齐！”那老者大怒，判官笔击下时用力甚重，敖彪立时晕去。吴立身喝道：“彪儿好汉子！你们这些只会搞妖法的家伙，他妈的，有种就把我们都杀了。” 那老者举起判官笔，向刘一舟道：“你念不念？”刘一舟道：“我……我……我……”那老者道：“你说：洪教主神通广大，寿与天齐！”刘一舟道：“洪教主……洪教主……”那老者将判官笔的尖端在他额头轻轻一戳，喝道：“快念！”刘一舟道：“是，是，洪教主……洪教主寿与天齐！” 那老者哈哈大笑，说道：“毕竟识
It turned out that Xu Tianchuan went to Shijiazhuang with Fang Yi and Mu Jianping, and they met Wu Lishen, Ao Biao and Liu Yizhou after a short trip.Wu Lishen and the other three were tortured in the palace of the Qing Dynasty. Although they didn't hurt their muscles and bones, their whole bodies were bruised and bruised. They had to go to Shijiazhuang to recuperate after riding in a cart. But Fang Yi's expression towards Liu Yizhou was quite different from the past, except for calling "Senior Brother Liu" when they met, she was very indifferent after that, and never ignored him again.Liu Yizhou tried to pull her aside several times to say something intimate, but Fang Yi always stayed with Mu Jianping and refused to leave.Liu Yizhou was anxious and annoyed, he was pressing hard.Fang Yi said: "Brother Liu, from now on, the two of us are just brothers and sisters, other than that, there is no need to mention or think about it." Liu Yizhou was startled, and asked: "Then...then why? "Fang Yi said coldly: "No reason." Liu Yizhou took her hand and said urgently: "Junior Sister, you..." Fang Yi shook her hard, broke free from his hand, and shouted: "Please be respectful!" Liu Yizhou was bored with begging the boss, this night in the inn, he tossed and turned hard to sleep, his mood was agitated, he got up quietly, and came to the window of the inn room where Fang Yi and Mu Jianping were staying, and sure enough they could hear the two whispering. speak loudly: Mu Jianping said: "You treat Brother Liu like this, doesn't it make him very sad?" Fang Yi said: "Then what can be done? The sooner he is sad, the sooner he forgets me, the sooner he will not be sad." Mu Jianping Said: "Are you really determined to marry...a kid like Wei Xiaobao? He is so young, can you be his wife?" Fang Yi said: "You want to marry this little monkey yourself, so you advise me to be nice to my senior brother , isn’t it?” Mu Jianping said anxiously: “No, no! Then you should go and marry Brother Wei.” Fang Yi sighed, and said: "I swore and swear, have you forgotten? That day I said: 'The emperor is above, and the earth is below. If Eunuch Gui can save Liu Yizhou from danger, the little girl Fang Yi will marry her. I married my father-in-law, and I will be loyal to her husband all my life. If I have two hearts, I will never be reborn." I said again: "The little princess is the witness." I will never forget, and you will never forget. " Mu Jianping said: "Of course I said that, but I think...he was just joking around and didn't take it seriously." Fang Yi said: "It doesn't matter if he is serious or fake. But we are girls , since I have promised him my life with my own mouth, I will never regret it, and I must stick to it. What's more... let alone..." Mu Jianping said: "What's more?" Fang Yi said: "I think about it carefully. After that, even if what he said can be denied, but he...he once shared the same bed with the two of us, and slept under the same quilt..." Mu Jianping laughed and said: "Brother Wei is really naughty, He also said that there was such a book, what is it called 'Prince Mu set three arrows on Yunnan, Eunuch Gui embraced the beauty', senior sister, he really hugged you and made your face fragrant!" Fang Yi Sighed, no longer speak. Liu Yizhou outside the window could only hear the burning inside, the world was spinning, and he couldn't stand still. Fang Yi said again: "Actually, although he is young and speaks glibly, he treats us well. After this breakup, I don't know when we will meet again." Mu Jianping laughed again , whispered: "Sister, you are missing him!" Fang Yi said: "If you miss him, you miss him, so what?" Mu Jianping said: "Yes, I miss him too. I invited him several times He asked him to go to Shijiazhuang with us, but he always said that he had something important to do. Sister, do you think this is true or not?" Fang Yi said: "When I was working as a top student in the restaurant, I heard him Chatted with the coachman and asked the distance to Shanxi. It seems that he is going to Shanxi." Mu Jianping said: "He is so young, and he goes to Shanxi alone. What should he do if he encounters a bad person on the way?" Fang Yi sighed In a low tone, he said: "I wanted to tell Mr. Xu that it is better to escort him instead of escorting us, but Mr. Xu will definitely not agree." Mu Jianping said: "Sister, I...I want to..." Fang Yi said: "What?" Mu Jianping sighed, and said: "It's nothing." Fang Yi said: "It's a pity that both of us have injuries, otherwise, we will go to Shanxi with him. Now we are with Uncle Wu, Senior Brother Liu and the others. If we do, we won't be able to find him." Liu Yizhou felt dizzy when he heard this, and with a bang, his forehead hit the pane. Fang Yi and Mu Jianping asked in surprise, "What?" Liu Yizhou was on fire with jealousy, as if he had gone mad, he just thought: "I'll kill this kid, I'll kill this kid!" He grabbed the front yard, took a horse, opened the door of the inn, got on the horse and galloped .He thought that since Wei Xiaobao went to Shanxi, he would head west.I rushed to Tianming, asked about the distance to Shanxi, and chased down along the main road. Whenever I saw a single-track cart, I asked, "Is there a child in the cart?"
Wei Xiaobao heard from Liu Yizhou that he knew the reason because he heard the conversation between the little princess and Fang Yi, he must have overheard it, his knowledge was limited, he said with a smile: "Brother Liu, you have been fooled by your junior sister. "Liu Yizhou said: "What did you fall for?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Miss Fang told me that she will be angry with you, because she tried her best to save you, but you don't take her seriously at all." Liu Yizhou He said anxiously: "Where...how can this matter? Why don't I take her to heart?" Wei Xiaobao said: "You gave her a silver hairpin, didn't you? There is a plum blossom on the head of the silver hairpin." Liu Yizhou said: "Yes, yes! How do you know?" Wei Xiaobao said: "She was fighting in the palace. At that time, she dropped the silver hairpin, as if in a hurry, and said that it was a gift from her sweetheart, and she couldn’t let it go, even if she risked her life, she had to go find it.” Liu Yizhou was stunned, pondering Said: "She... she treats me so well?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Of course, so could it be fake?" Liu Yizhou asked: "What happened afterwards?" Wei Xiaobao said: "You're twisting like this, I'm in terrible pain, how can I talk?" Liu Yizhou said: "Okay!" Hearing that Fang Yi treated him so affectionately, most of his anger had subsided, and he thought that the child would not escape his palm anyway, so he let go of his hand and asked, "What happened next?" Wei Xiaobao's arm was painful and numb from being held by him, he slowly inserted the dagger into the boot, and saw that there was a ring of finger prints on his wrist, red and swollen, and said: "People in Mu Palace like to grab people's wrists, if you do this, The same is true for Bai Hanfeng. The "turtle grabbing hand" move in Mujiaquan is really good." He said the word "turtle" in "turtle grabbing hand" was very vague, but Liu Yizhou didn't understand it, so he ignored it. , and asked: "Junior Sister Fang lost the silver hairpin I gave her, what happened afterwards?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I can't breathe from the claws of your tortoise, I have to rest before I can talk. All in all, whether or not you marry Miss Fang as your wife is a matter of seniority." This time Liu Yizhou understood the word "turtle claw".But what made him angry was that Wei Xiaobao tricked Fang Yi into agreeing to marry him, but he didn't care about taking advantage of him verbally, and he heard him say: "Whether you marry Miss Fang as a wife or not, this has nothing to do with the boss." ", he was very concerned, and asked: "Speak quickly, don't procrastinate." Wei Xiaobao said: "You have to sit down and rest for a while before you have the strength to speak." Liu Yizhou had no choice but to follow him When they came to a big tree by the forest, they saw him sitting on the root of the tree, and immediately sat beside him. Wei Xiaobao sighed, and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity." Liu Yizhou was immediately worried, and quickly asked: "What a pity?" Wei Xiaobao said: "It's a pity that your junior sister is not here, otherwise if she can sit here with you, talk to you Talking about love, flirting and scolding, she really likes it in her heart." Liu Yizhou was so happy that he couldn't help laughing, and asked, "How do you know?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I heard from her. That day she lost her silver hairpin and risked her life to rush through the three gates guarded by the guards of the Qing palace. When I found the silver hairpin, I said, "Miss Fang, you are so stupid. How much is a silver hairpin worth? I'll give you one thousand taels of silver. Let's make three of these hairpins in one go." Four thousand. You put ten hairpins on your head every day, and every day is different. For three hundred and sixty days a year, you put new hairpins every day." Miss Fang said, "What do you know, you little boy? This is me. The one my dear senior brother Liu gave me, you gave me a thousand or ten thousand hairpins, even if they are gold hairpins or pearl hairpins, how can they compare to the one silver hairpin, copper hairpin, etc. that my dear senior brother Liu gave me? Iron hairpin?' Brother Liu, don’t you think this girl is quite confused?” Hearing these words, Liu Yizhou laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and asked, "Why...why did she talk to the little Princess in the middle of the night, and she said something different?" Wei Xiaobao said: "You were eavesdropping outside their room in the middle of the night, didn't you?" Liu Yizhou blushed slightly, and said: "It's not eavesdropping, I just got up to pee at night and just overheard it." Wei Xiaobao said: "Brother Liu , it's your fault. Where is it that you don't want to urinate, why did you urinate under Miss Fang's window, wouldn't the stench be so bad that it would spoil the two embarrassing girls?" Liu Yizhou said: "Yes, yes! What did my Junior Sister Fang say later?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I'm very hungry and I don't have the energy to talk, go and buy me something to eat. I'm full. I can only speak out after listening to the disgusting words of your Junior Sister Fang. "He only hoped to lure Liu Yizhou to the town, where he could slip away among the crowd. Liu Yizhou said: "What taught people to listen to the disgusting? Junior sister Fang is very serious, she never said disgusting things." Wei Xiaobao said: "Well, she is very serious, she never said disgusting things. She said: 'My Kiss senior brother Liu!' Then he said: 'My considerate and beautiful senior brother Liu', damn it, you don't feel nasty when you hear it, but the more I hear it, the more embarrassing I become. Hmph, I'm not ashamed to say such things. " Liu Yizhou was elated, but said: "No way? How could Junior Sister Fang say such a thing?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, okay! I was wrong. Brother Liu, I'm going to find something to eat, sorry." stand up. Liu Yizhou was feeling itchy when he heard that, how could he let him go, he pressed his shoulder lightly, and said: "Brother Wei, don't hurry away! I have a few pancakes for dry food here, you eat first Alright, after I finish talking, go to the town ahead, and I'll treat you to wine and noodles, and I have to apologize to you." He opened the package on his back and took out a few pancakes. Wei Xiaobao took a pancake, tore off a piece, chewed a few times in his mouth, and said, "Is this pancake salty, sour or not? What is it? You can eat it and show me." Give him back a corner of the pancake. Liu Yizhou said: "This cake is hard, so the taste is not very good, let's deal with it to satisfy our hunger." He tore off a piece of the cake and ate it. Wei Xiaobao said: "I don't know what to do with these few pancakes." He turned over a few pancakes and picked them out, flipped them a few times, and said, "I'm so desperate to urinate, I'll eat after I urinate." Walking to the side of a big tree, Turned around, opened his pants to pee. Liu Yizhou stared at him intently, afraid that he would run away suddenly. After urinating, Wei Xiaobao came back and sat beside Liu Yizhou, turned over several pancakes, finally picked one, tore it open and ate it.Liu Yizhou chased him for a long time, he was already hungry, he took a piece of pancake and ate it, while eating, he said: "Could it be that Fang Shimei and the little princess are saying this deliberately to bully me?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I'm not the roundworm in your junior sister Fang's stomach, how do you know what she's thinking? You are her dear senior brother, why don't you know and ask me instead?" Liu Yizhou said: "Okay! It was just now I was reckless and offended you, so don't play tricks!" Wei Xiaobao said: "Since I say that, let me tell you the truth. Your Junior Sister Fang is very beautiful, if I wasn't an eunuch, I would have wanted to marry her as my wife. But Even if I don't marry her, I'm afraid it won't be your turn." Liu Yizhou hurriedly asked: "Why? Why?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Don't be impatient, eat another pancake, I will tell you slowly." Liu Yizhou said: "Damn it, you are always hesitating when you speak, it's tempting..." When he said this, he suddenly shook his body.Wei Xiaobao said: "What? Are you uncomfortable? I'm afraid the pancakes are not clean." Liu Yizhou said: "What?" He stood up, wobbled around in a circle, and suddenly fell to the ground. Wei Xiaobao laughed loudly, kicked him on the buttocks, and said, "Hey! How come there is sweat medicine in your pancakes? This is really strange." Liu Yizhou murmured, not knowing anything. Wei Xiaobao kicked him twice again, seeing that he was not moving at all, so he took off his belt and trousers, tied his feet firmly, and tied his hands behind his back.Seeing a stone next to the big tree, he turned it over hard, revealing a hole, and underneath was a pile of rocks. He removed the rocks one by one, dug a four-foot-deep earth hole, and said with a smile, "I buried you alive today." "Drag him into the hole, stand upright, dig the rocks and soil into the hole, and press down firmly, the soil buried his upper arms, only his head and shoulders were exposed. Wei Xiaobao was very proud, walked to the side of the stream, took off his soaked robe, went back to Liu Yizhou, twisted the robe, and poured the stream water on his head. Liu Yizhou was jolted by the cold water, and slowly woke up. He didn't know why for a while, and wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all.I saw Wei Xiaobao sitting on the side with his knees hugged, looking at him with a smile, after a while, he understood what he was saying, he struggled a few more times, he remained motionless, and said: "Good brother, don't be joking! " Wei Xiaobao scolded: "Straight mother, I have so many important things to do, I'm just joking with you, a stinky bastard!" He kicked him so hard that his right cheek was dripping with blood, and cursed: "Miss Fang is my wife, Are you worthy of thinking about her? You stinking thief made me feel so painful, you slapped me, and whipped me, I will cut off your ears first, then your nose, and I will kill you with a knife." He took out the dagger, bent down, and slapped his face twice with the edge of the blade. Liu Yizhou was scared out of his wits, and shouted: "Brother...Wei...Brother Wei, Master Wei Xiang, please look at the affection of Prince Mu's residence, high...raise your hand." Wei Xiaobao said: "I will send you from the palace. You were rescued, but you avenged your kindness and wanted to kill me, hehe, with your little knowledge, you also want to break ground on the head of Tai Sui? You told me to look at Mu Wangfu's affection, when you caught me just now, what did you do? Don’t look at the Tiandihui’s affection again?” Liu Yizhou said: “It’s true that I am not, I made a mistake! Please...please...please forgive me.” Wei Xiaobao said: "I will cut your mother's three hundred and sixty knives on your head, so as to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" Lifting his braid, he cut it off with one knife.The dagger was extremely sharp, it cut off the braid with a snort, and then pushed it back and forth on the top of his head, in a short while, the hair fell out and he was shaved into a bald head.Wei Xiaobao scolded: "You are bald, I am angry when I see the monk, I must kill him!" Liu Yizhou laughed and said: "Master Wei Xiang, I am not a monk." Wei Xiaobao scolded: "You are not a fucking monk, why did you shave your scalp and come here to deceive the master?" Liu Yizhou thought: "Obviously you shaved How can you blame me?" But his life was in his hands, so he didn't dare to argue with him, so he laughed and said, "Thousands of mistakes, all of them are villains, Mr. Wei Xiang has a lot of people, don't take it to heart .” Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, then let me ask you, whose wife is Miss Fang Yifang?" Liu Yizhou said: "This... this..." Wei Xiaobao said loudly: "What this and that? Say it quickly!" Lifting the dagger, he swung it around his face.Liu Yizhou thought to himself that a good man would not suffer from immediate disadvantages. This brat is a eunuch, so let him take some verbal advantages. Otherwise, if he really swung his sword and lost a nose or an ear, it would be extremely bad. He hurriedly said: "She... She is of course Wei Xiangzhu...it is Wei Xiangzhu, your wife." Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "She, who is she? You can speak clearly. I don't want to hear the monks' vague words." Talk." Liu Yizhou said: "Junior Sister Fang Yifang is your wife, Lord Wei Xiang." Wei Xiaobao said: "Let's make things clear. Are you my friend?" Liu Yizhou was overjoyed when he heard his tone loosen, and hurriedly said: "The villain didn't dare to climb high. If Master Wei Xiang is willing to treat me as a friend, I... naturally I can't ask for it." Wei Xiaobao said: "I treat you as a friend. Friends. Friends in the world talk about loyalty, don’t you?” Liu Yizhou hurriedly said: “Yes, yes. A good friend should be loyal.” Wei Xiaobao said: “A friend’s wife is not to be played with. If you continue to cheat on my wife, you will be a little girl Four, what is that? You swear an oath!" Liu Yizhou secretly complained, thinking he had been fooled again.Wei Xiaobao said: "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I knew you were sneaky and malicious, and you just wanted to flirt with my wife." Seeing him brandishing the dagger again, Liu Yizhou hurriedly said, "No, No. To Wei Xiangzhu's wife, I am determined not to have malicious intentions." Wei Xiaobao said: "In the future, if you look at Miss Fang more and say a word, then what?" Liu Yizhou said: "Then... ... Then you will be destroyed." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then you are a bastard tortoise!" Liu Yizhou said with a bitter face: "Yes, yes!" Wei Xiaobao said: "What is right? What the hell are you doing to you?" Pointing the dagger point on his right eyelid.Liu Yizhou said: "In the future, if I look at Junior Sister Fang one more time and say one more word, I... I am a bastard tortoise!" Wei Xiaobao laughed, and said: "Since that's the case, I'll let you go. I'll let you piss on your head first, and then I'll let you go." He inserted the dagger into the boot, and unfastened his trouser belt with both hands. Suddenly, a woman's voice in the woods shouted: "You...how can you bully people too much!"
Hearing Fang Yi's voice, Wei Xiaobao was surprised and delighted, turned his head and saw three people walking out of the forest, the first one was Fang Yi, followed by Mu Jianping and Xu Tianchuan.After a while, two more people walked out, but it was Wu Lishen and Ao Biao. The five of them had been hiding in the forest for a long time, and they had heard the conversation between Wei and Liu clearly. Seeing that Wei Xiaobao was about to urinate on Liu Yizhou's head, forming a deep and unsolvable resentment, Fang Yi couldn't help shouting to stop. Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "So you've already been here, for Mr. Wu's sake, this pissing can be avoided." Xu Tianchuan hurried over, pushed aside the rocks and soil around Liu Yizhou's body with both hands, picked him up, and untied the belt tied around his hands and feet.Liu Yizhou was so ashamed that he lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of everyone. Wu Lishen's face was ashen, and he said: "Nephew Liu Xian, our lives were saved by Master Wei Xiang, why did you repay your kindness, bully the small with the big, beat and scolded him, and twisted his arm? Your master knows, will you?" How do you say it?" As he said, he shook his head, his tone was very displeased, and he said: "We are in the Jianghu, the most important thing is the word 'loyalty', how can we be jealous and use force against a good friend? Ingratitude, that is Even worse than pigs and dogs!" With a bah sound, he spat on the ground.The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he continued: "Last night when you rushed out in such a fiery manner in the middle of the night, everyone knew something was wrong. Along the way, you beat Master Wei Xiang until his cheeks became red and swollen, and you twisted his arm, The point of the sword is pointed at his throat, if one misses his hand and hurts his life, what should we do?" Liu Yizhou said angrily: "A life is worth a life, and I will pay him back." Wu Lishen said angrily: "Hey, you said it so easily, what kind of hero are you? With your life, is it worth Wei Xiangzhu, one of the top ten incense masters of the Heaven and Earth Association? Besides, your life Where did it come from? Didn’t Master Wei Xiang save you? You are not grateful, and people already want to look down on you, so you dare to make a move against Wei Xiang?” Liu Yizhou was forced by Wei Xiaobao to swear and swear. At that time, his life was hanging by his hands. Now he had to be free. Thinking that Fang Yi had listened to these words, he felt ashamed and indignant. He kept on talking about the lessons, and couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment. He broke his heart and said viciously: "Uncle Wu, the matter has been done, and the surname Wei didn't hurt a single hair. You old man can do whatever he wants. stop!" Wu Lishen jumped up, pointed at his face, and shouted: "Liu Yizhou, you are so indifferent to the uncle. You want to fight with me, don't you?" Liu Yizhou said: "I didn't say, and it's not yours. Opponent." Wu Lishen was even more annoyed, and said sharply, "If your martial arts are better than mine, then you have to fight, right? You are greedy for life and afraid of death in the palace of the Qing Dynasty. I said my name. I was concerned about Brother Liu’s face, so I never mentioned this matter. Hmph! Hmph! You’re not my disciple, you’re lucky.” That obviously means that if you were my disciple, you would have been killed with a knife up. Liu Yizhou lowered his head when he heard him expose his ugly behavior of cowardly begging for mercy in the Qing Palace, his face was pale, and he remained silent. Seeing that he had gained the upper hand, Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Mr. Wu, Big Brother Liu is just playing around with everyone, so don't take it seriously. I'm begging you, don't tell Mr. Liu about the past. .” Wu Lishen said: "Master Wei Xiang has ordered you to do so." He turned to Liu Yizhou and said, "Look, after all, Master Wei Xiang is doing great things, how magnanimous is his measure?" Wei Xiaobao smiled at Fang Yi and Mu Jianping: "Why are you here?" Fang Yi said: "Come here, I have something to tell you." Wei Xiaobao approached with a smile.Seeing that Fang Yi was so affectionate to Wei Xiaobao in front of everyone, Liu Yizhou put his hand on the handle of the knife, and couldn't help but draw the knife and go forward to fight desperately.Suddenly there was a slap, Wei Xiaobao had already received a hot slap across the face. Wei Xiaobao was taken aback, jumped a few steps away, pressed his hand on his cheek, and said angrily: "You...why are you beating someone?" Fang Yi raised her brows, blushed, and said angrily: "Who do you take me for? What did you say to Senior Brother Liu? Behind others' backs, you treat me like this?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I didn't say anything... ...bad words." Fang Yi said: "I still said no, I heard every sentence. You...you...both of you are not good people." Angry and anxious, she shed tears. Xu Tianchuan thought to himself that this was the children's nonsense, it was not a big deal, but don't hurt the harmony between Tiandihui and Muwangfu, he laughed and said: "Wei Xiangzhu and Senior Brother Liu both suffered a little loss, Even if it's a straight talk. Old man Xu is very hungry, let's find a restaurant quickly and eat and drink to our heart's content." Suddenly a northeasterly wind blew by, and there was a burst of soybean-like raindrops floating in the air.Xu Tianchuan looked up at the sky, and said: "It's October, it's raining for no reason, it's really weird." Seeing clouds of dark clouds approaching from the northeast corner, he said: "I'm afraid this rain is not small, let's We need to find a place to hide from the rain."
The seven walked west along the avenue.Fang Yi and Mu Jianping's injuries were not healed, and they couldn't walk fast.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was not even a farmhouse or a gazebo along the way. After a while, the seven people were all soaked.Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "Let's go slowly, everyone. If you walk fast, you will be drowned. If you walk slowly, you will be drowned. It's the same anyway." The seven of them walked for a while, and when they heard the sound of water, they came to a river and saw a hut half a mile upstream.The seven of them were overjoyed, they quickened their pace, and when they walked closer, they saw that the house was a dilapidated temple, but it was always a shelter from the rain. Although it was dilapidated, it was better than nothing.The gate of the temple has long been rotten, and when you enter the temple, you can feel the smell of mold. After Fang Yi walked for a while, the wound on her chest was already in great pain, she couldn't help frowning, and clenched her teeth.Xu Tianchuan tore down some broken tables and chairs, lit a fire, and asked everyone to dry their clothes.But seeing that the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and the rain was getting heavier.Xu Tianchuan took out dry food and bread from the package and distributed them to everyone. Liu Yizhou stuffed the roots of his braids into his hat, barely dragging a braid.Wei Xiaobao looked left and right at him with a smile. Mu Jianping smiled and asked Wei Xiaobao: "Just now, what did you do in Senior Brother Liu's pancake?" Wei Xiaobao stared and said, "No, what would I do?" Mu Jianping said, "Hmph, you still don't recognize it Why did Senior Brother Liu faint from the Mongolian sweat medicine again?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Did he get the Mongolian sweat medicine? When? Why didn't I know? I don't think so. Isn't he just sitting and warming himself by the fire?" Mu Jianping groaned With a sound, he pretended to be angry and said: "I will pretend to be stupid and pretend to be stupid, so I won't tell you." Sitting aside, Fang Yi was also full of doubts.Earlier when Liu Yizhou caught Wei Xiaobao and other things, they could only see them from a distance, but they couldn't see them clearly. Later, Liu and Wei sat side by side under the tree talking, and they approached on tiptoe, hiding in the woods. Liu Yizhou took it out of the package, and he kept staring at Wei Xiaobao intently to prevent him from escaping. Why did he faint in a blink of an eye? Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "Perhaps Senior Brother Liu has a sheep hanging disease, and it suddenly occurs. I don't know about personnel." Liu Yizhou was furious, stood up abruptly, pointed at him and shouted, "You...you little..." Fang Yi glared at Wei Xiaobao, and said: "Come here." Wei Xiaobao said: "You want to beat someone again, so I won't come." Fang Yi said: "You can't say anything that hurt Senior Brother Liu, children, you don't even need to talk about it. Virtue." Wei Xiaobao stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.Seeing Fang Yi helping him twice, Liu Yizhou was very grateful, thinking: "This little devil is wicked and evil, after all, Junior Sister Fang is still good to me." It was getting dark.The seven people sat on the ground around a fire. Water leaked everywhere in the ruined temple, and the ground was rarely dry.Suddenly, water leaked from the top of Wei Xiaobao's head, and the water dripped onto his shoulders.He gave way to the left, but there was also a leak on the left.Fang Yi said: "Come here, there is no water leakage here." After a pause, she said: "Don't be afraid, I won't beat you." Wei Xiaobao smiled and sat beside her. Fang Yi moved her mouth to Mu Jianping's ear, whispered a few words, Mu Jianping smiled, nodded, put her mouth to Wei Xiaobao's ear, and whispered: "Senior Sister Fang said, she and you are my own Man, this is why I beat you and asked you not to offend Senior Brother Liu, and asked if you understand what she means?" Wei Xiaobao whispered in her ear: "What are you? I don't understand." Mu Jianping said passed on.Fang Yi rolled his eyes at him, and said to Mu Jianping: "The oath I swore and the curse I swore will count forever, so he can rest assured." Mu Jianping passed on the words again. Wei Xiaobao whispered in Mu Jianping's ear: "Miss Fang and I are on our own, what about you?"Wei Xiaobao smiled and turned sideways, nodding to Fang Yi.Fang Yi was smiling but not smiling, angry but not angry, under the light of the fire, she was indescribably beautiful.Wei Xiaobao smelled the faint fragrance of the second daughter, and was overjoyed. The place where Liu Yizhou was sitting was quite far from the three of them, and he stretched his neck, as if he could vaguely hear something like "Brother Liu" or "one of us", but nothing else.瞧他三人嘻嘻哈哈，神态亲密，显是将自己当做了外人，忍不住又是妒恨交作。 方怡又在沐剑屏耳边低声道：“你问他，到底使了什么法儿，才将刘师哥迷倒。”韦小宝见方怡一脸好奇之色，终于悄悄对沐剑屏说了：“我小便之时，背转了身子，左手中抓了一把蒙汗药，回头去翻检薄饼，饼上自然涂了药粉。我吃的那张饼，只用右手拿，左手全然不碰。这可懂了吗？”沐剑屏道：“原来如此。”传话之后，方怡又问：“你哪里来的蒙汗药？”韦小宝道：“宫里侍卫给的，救你刘师哥，用的就是这些药粉。”这时大雨倾盆，在屋面上打得哗啦啦急响，韦小宝的嘴唇直碰到沐剑屏耳朵，所说的话才能听到。 刘一舟心下焦躁，霍地站起身来，背脊重重在柱子上一靠，突然喀喇喇几声响，头顶掉下几片瓦来。这座破庙早已朽烂，给大雨一浸，北风一吹，已然支撑不住，跟着一根根椽子和瓦片砖泥纷纷跌落。徐天川叫道：“不好，这庙要倒，大家快出去。” 七人奔出庙去，没走得几步，便听得轰隆隆一声巨响，庙顶塌了一大片，跟着又有半堵墙倒了下来。
便在此时，只听得马蹄声响，十余乘马自东南方疾驰而来，片刻间奔到近处，黑暗中影影绰绰，马上都骑得有人。 一个苍老的声音说道：“啊哟，这里本来有座小庙，可以躲雨，偏偏又倒了。”另一人大声问道：“喂，老乡，你们在这里干甚么？”徐天川道：“我们在庙里躲雨，这庙塌了下来，险些儿都给压死了。”马上一人骂道：“他妈的，落这样大雨，老天爷可不是疯了。”另一人道：“赵老三，除了这小庙，附近一间屋都没有？有没有山洞什么的？” 那苍老的声音道：“有……有是有的，不过也同没有差不多。”一名汉子骂道：“你奶奶的，到底有是没有？”那老头道：“这里向西北，山坳中有一座鬼屋，是有恶鬼的，谁也不敢去，那不是跟没有差不多？” 马上众人大声笑骂起来：“老子才不怕鬼屋哩。有恶鬼最好，揪了出来当点心。”又有人喝道：“快领路！又不是洗澡，在这大雨里泡着，你道滋味好得很么？”赵老三道：“各位爷们，老儿没嫌命长，可不敢去了。我劝各位也别去罢。这里向北，再行三十里，便有市镇。”马上众人都道：“这般大雨，哪里再挨得三十来里？快别啰唆，咱们这许多人，还怕什么鬼？”赵老三道：“好罢，大伙儿向西北，拐个弯儿，沿山路进坳，就只一条路，不会错的……”众人不等他说完，已纵马向西北方驰去。赵老三骑的是头驴子，微一迟疑，拉过驴头，回头向东南方来路而去。 徐天川道：“吴二哥，韦香主，咱们怎么办？”吴立身道：“我看……”但随即想起，该当由韦小宝出主意才是，跟着道：“请韦香主吩咐，该当如何？”韦小宝怕鬼，只是说不出口，道：“吴大叔说罢，我可没什么主意。”吴立身道：“恶鬼什么，都是乡下人胡说八道。就算真的有鬼，咱们也跟他拚上一拚。”韦小宝道：“有些鬼是瞧不见的，等到瞧见，已经来不及啦。”言下之意，显然是怕鬼。 刘一舟大声道：“怕什么妖魔鬼怪？在雨中再淋得半个时辰，人人都非生病不可。” 韦小宝见沐剑屏不住发颤，确是难以支持，又不愿在方怡面前示弱，输给了刘一舟，便道：“好，大伙儿这就去罢！倘若见到恶鬼，可须小心！” 七人依着那赵老三所说，向西北走进了山坳，黑暗中却寻不到道路，但见树林中白茫茫地，有一条小瀑布冲下来。韦小宝道：“寻不到路，叫做'鬼打墙'，这是恶鬼在迷人。”徐天川道：“这片水就是路了，山水沿着小路流下来。”吴立身道：“正是！”踏着瀑布走上坡去。余人跟随而上，爬上山坡。 听得左首树林中有马嘶之声，知道那十几个乘马汉子便在那边。徐天川心想：“这批人不知是什么来头。”但想自己和吴立身联手，寻常武师便有几十人也不放在心上，当下踏水寻路，高一脚低一脚的向林中走去。 一到林中，更加黑了，只听得前面嘭嘭嘭敲门，果然有屋。韦小宝又惊又喜，忽觉有人伸手过来，拉住了他手。那手掌软绵绵地，跟着耳边有人柔声道：“别怕！”正是方怡。 但听敲门之声不绝，始终没人开门。七人走到近处，只见黑沉沉的一大片屋子。 一众乘马人大声叫嚷：“开门，开门！避雨来的！”叫了好一会，屋内半点动静也无。一人道：“没人住的！”另一人道：“赵老三说是鬼屋，谁敢来住？跳进墙去罢！”白光闪动，两人拔出兵刃，跳进墙去，开了大门。众人一涌而进。 徐天川心想：“这些人果是武林中的，看来武功也不甚高。”七人跟着进去。 大门里面是个好大的天井，再进去是座大厅。有人从身边取出油包，解开来取出火刀火石，打着了火，见厅中桌上有蜡烛，便去点燃了。众人眼前突现光亮，都是一阵喜慰，见厅上陈设着紫檀木的桌椅茶几，竟是大户人家的气派。 徐天川心下嘀咕：“桌椅上全无灰尘，地下打扫得这等清洁，屋里怎会没人？” 只听一名汉子说道：“这厅上干干净净的，屋里有人住的。”另一人大声嚷道：“喂，喂，屋里有人吗？屋里有人么？”大厅又高又大，他大声叫嚷，隐隐竟有回声。 回声一止，四下除了大雨之声，竟无其他声息。众人面面相觑，都觉颇为古怪。 一名白发老者问徐天川道：“你们几位都是江湖上朋友么？”徐天川道：“在下姓许，这几个有的是家人，有的是亲戚，要去山西探亲，不想遇上了这场大雨。达官爷贵姓？”那老者点了点头，见他们七人中有老头，有小孩，又有女子，也不起疑心，却不答他问话，说道：“这屋子可有点儿古怪。” 又有一名汉子叫道：“屋里有人没有？都死光了吗？”停了片刻，仍是无人回答。 那老者坐在椅上，指着六个人道：“你们六个到后面瞧瞧去！”六名汉子拔兵刃在手，向后进走去。六人微微弓腰，走得甚慢，神情颇为戒惧。耳听得踢门声、喝问声不断传来，并无异状，声音越去越远，显然屋子极大，一时走不到尽头。那老者指着另外四人道：“找些木柴来点几个火把，跟着去瞧瞧。”那四人奉命而去。 韦小宝等七人坐在大厅长窗的门槛上，谁也不开口说话。徐天川见那群人中有十人走向后进，厅上尚有八人，穿的都是布袍，瞧模样似是什么帮会的帮众，又似是镖局的镖客，却没押镖，一时摸不清他们路子。 韦小宝忍不住道：“姊姊，你说这屋里有没有鬼？”方怡还没回答，刘一舟抢着说道：“当然有鬼！什么地方没死过人？死过人就有鬼。”韦小宝打了个寒噤，身子一缩。 刘一舟道：“天下恶鬼都欺善怕恶，专迷小孩子。大人阳气盛，吊死鬼啦，大头鬼啦，就不敢招惹大人。” 方怡从衣襟底下伸手过去，握住了韦小宝左手，说道：“人怕鬼，鬼更怕人呢。一有火光，鬼就逃走了。” 只听得脚步声响，先到后面察看的六名汉子回到厅上，脸上神气透着十分古怪，七嘴八舌的说道：“一个人也没有，可是到处打扫得干干净净的。”“床上铺着被褥，床底下有鞋子，都是娘儿们的。”“衣柜里放的都是女人衣衫，男人衣服却一件也没有！” 刘一舟大声叫道：“女鬼！一屋子都是女鬼！” 众人一齐转头瞧着他，一时之间，谁都没作声。 突然听得后面四人怪声大叫，那老者一跃而起，正要抢到后面去接应，那四人已奔入大厅，手中火把都已熄灭，叫道：“死人，死人真多！”脸上尽是惊惶之色。 那老者沉着脸道：“大惊小怪的，我还道是遇上了敌人呢。死人有什么可怕？”一名汉子道：“不是可怕，是……是希奇古怪。”那老者道：“什么希奇古怪？”另一名汉子道：“东边一间屋子里，都……都是死人灵堂，也不知共有多少。”那老者沉吟道：“有没有死人和棺材？”两名汉子对望了一眼，齐道：“没……没瞧清楚，好像没有。” 那老者道：“多点几根火把，大伙儿瞧瞧去。说不定是座祠堂，那也平常得紧。”他虽说得轻描淡写，但语气中也显得大为犹豫，似乎明知祠堂并非如此。 他手下众汉子便在大厅拆桌拆椅，点成火把，向后院涌去。 徐天川道：“我去瞧瞧，各位在这里待着。”跟在众人之后走了进去。 敖彪问道：“师父，这些人是什么路道？”吴立身摇头道：“瞧不出，听口音似乎是鲁东、关东一带的人，不像是六扇门的鹰爪。莫非是私枭？可又没见带货。” 刘一舟道：“那一伙人也没什么大不了，倒是这屋中的大批女鬼，可厉害着呢！”说着向韦小宝伸了伸舌头。韦小宝打了个寒噤，紧紧握住了方怡的手，自己掌心中尽是冷汗。沐剑屏颤声道：“刘……刘师哥，你别老是吓人，好不好？”刘一舟道：“小郡主，你不用担心，你是金枝玉叶，什么恶鬼见了你都远远避开，不敢侵犯。恶鬼最憎的就是不男不女的太监。”方怡柳眉一轩，脸有怒色，待要说话，却又忍住了。 过了好一会，才听得脚步声响，众人回到大厅。韦小宝吁了口长气，心下略宽。徐天川低声道：“七八间屋子里，共有三十来座灵堂，每座灵堂上都供了五六个、七八个牌位，看来每一座灵堂上供的是一家死人。”刘一舟道：“嘿嘿，这屋子里岂不是有几百个恶鬼？”徐天川摇了摇头，他见多识广，可从未听见过这等怪事，过了一会，缓缓的道：“最奇怪的是，灵堂前都点了蜡烛。”韦小宝、方怡、沐剑屏三人同时惊叫出来。 一名汉子道：“我们先前进去时，蜡烛明明没点着。”那老者问道：“你们没记错？”四名汉子你瞧瞧我，我瞧瞧你，都摇了摇头。那老者道：“不是有鬼，咱们遇上了高人。顷刻之间，将三十几座灵堂中的蜡烛都点燃了，这身手可也真敏捷得很。许老爷子，你说是不是呢？”最后这句话是向着徐天川而说。徐天川假作痴呆，说道：“咱们恐怕冲撞了屋主，不……不妨到灵堂前磕……磕几个头。” 雨声之中，东边屋中忽然传来几下女子啼哭，声音甚是凄切，虽然大雨淅沥，这几下哭声却听得清清楚楚。 韦小宝只吓得张口结舌，脸色大变。 众人面面相觑，都是毛骨悚然。过了片刻，西边屋中又传出女子悲泣之声。刘一舟、敖彪、以及两名汉子齐声叫道：“鬼哭！” 那老者哼的一声，突然大声说道：“咱们路经贵处，到此避雨，擅闯宝宅，特此谢过。贤主人可肯赐见么？”这番话中气充沛，远远送了出去。过了良久，后面没丝毫动静。 那老者摇了摇头，大声道：“这里主人既然不愿接见俗客，咱们可不能擅自骚扰。便在厅上避一避雨，一等天明雨停，大伙儿尽快动身。”说着连打手势，命众人不可说话，侧耳倾听，过了良久，不再听到啼哭之声。 一名汉子低声道：“章三爷，管他是人是鬼，一等天明，一把火，把这鬼屋烧成他妈的一片白地。”那老者摇手道：“咱们要紧事情还没办，不可另生枝节。坐下来歇歇罢！”众人衣衫尽湿，便在厅上生起火来。有人取出个酒葫芦，拔开塞子，递给那老者喝酒。 那老者喝了几口酒，斜眼向徐天川瞧了半晌，说道：“许老爷子，你们几个是一家人，怎地口音不同？你是京城里的，这几位却是云南人？” 徐天川笑道：“老爷子好耳音，果然是老江湖。我大妹子嫁在云南。这位是我妹夫。”说着向吴立身一指，又道：“我妹夫、外甥他们都是云南人。我二妹子可又嫁在山西。天南地北的，十几年也难得见一次面。我们这次是上山西探我二妹子去。”他说吴立身是他的妹夫，那是客气话，当时北方习俗，叫人大舅子、小舅子便是骂人。 那老者点了点头，喝了口酒，眯着眼睛道：“几位从北京来？”徐天川道：“正是。”那老者道：“在道上可见到一个十四五岁的小太监？” 此言一出，徐天川等心中都是一凛，幸好那老者只注视着他，而徐天川脸上神色不露，敖彪、沐剑屏脸上变色，旁人却未曾留意。徐天川道：“你说太监？北京城里，老的小的，太监可多得很啊，一出门总撞到几个。”那老者道：“我问你在道上可曾看到，不是说北京城里。”徐天川笑道：“老爷子，你这话可不在行啦。大清的规矩，太监一出京城，就犯死罪。太监们可不像明朝那样威风十足了。现下有哪个太监敢出京城一步？” 那老者“哦”了一声，道：“说不定他改了装呢？” 徐天川连连摇头，说道：“没这个胆子，没这个胆子！”顿了一顿，问道：“老爷子，你找的是怎么个小太监？等我从山西探了亲，回到京城，也可帮你打听打听。” 那老者道：“哼哼，多谢你啦，就不知有没有那么长的命。”说着闭目不语。 徐天川心想：“他打听一个十四五岁的小太监，那不是冲着韦香主吗？这批人既不是天地会，又不是沐王府的，十之八九，没安着善意，可得查问个明白。他不惹过来，我们倒要惹他一惹。”说道：“老爷子，北京城里的小太监，只有一位大大的出名。他大名儿传遍了天下，想来你也听到过，那便是杀了奸臣鳌拜、立了大功的那一位。”那老者睁开眼来，道：“嗯，你说的是小桂子桂公公？”徐天川道：“不是他还有谁呢？这人有胆有勇，武艺高强，实在了不起！”那老者道：“这人相貌怎样？你见过他没有？” 徐天川道：“哈，这桂公公天天在北京城里蹓跶，北京人没见过他的，只怕没几个。这桂公公又黑又胖，是个胖小子，少说也有十八九啦，说什么也不信他只十五岁。” 方怡握着韦小宝的手掌紧了一紧，沐剑屏的手肘在他背心轻轻一撞，都是暗暗好笑。韦小宝本来一直在怕鬼，听那老者问起了自己，心下盘算，将怕鬼的念头便都忘了。 那老者道：“是么？我听人说的，却是不同。听说这桂公公只是个十三四岁的小孩童，就是狡猾机伶，只怕跟你那个外甥倒有三分相像，哈哈，哈哈！”说着向韦小宝瞧去。 刘一舟忽道：“听说那小桂子卑鄙无耻，最会使蒙汗药。他杀死鳌拜，便是先用药迷倒的，否则这小贼又胆小，又怕鬼，怎杀得了鳌拜？”向韦小宝笑吟吟的道：“表弟，你说是不是呢？” 吴立身大怒，反手一掌，向他脸上打去。刘一舟低头避开，左足一弹，已站了起来。吴立身这反手一掌，乃是一招“碧鸡展翅”，刘一舟闪避弹身，使的是招“金马嘶风”，都是“沐家拳”招式。一个打得急，一个避得快，不知不觉间都使出了本门拳法。 那姓章老者霍地站起，笑道：“好啊，众位乔装改扮得好！”他这一站，手下十几人跟着都跳起身来。那老者喝道：“都拿下了！一个都不能放走。”
吴立身从怀中抽出短刀，大头向左一摇，砍翻了一名汉子，向右一摇，又一名汉子咽喉中刀倒地。 那老者双手在腰间摸出一对判官笔，双笔互擦，发出滋滋之声，双笔左点吴立身咽喉，右取徐天川胸口，以一攻二，身手快捷。徐天川向右一冲，左手向一名大汉眼中抓去。那大汉后仰急避，手中单刀已被夺去，腰间一痛，自己的刀已斩入了自己肚子。那边敖彪也已跟人动上了手。刘一舟微一迟疑，解下软鞭，上前厮杀。对方虽然人多，但只那老者和吴立身斗了个旗鼓相当，余下众人都武功平平。 韦小宝看出便宜，心想：“只要不碰那老甲鱼，其余那些我也可对付对付。”握匕首在手，便欲冲上。方怡一把拉住，说道：“咱们赢定了，不用你帮手。”韦小宝心道：“我知道赢定了，这才上前哪。倘若输定，还不快逃？” 忽听得滋滋连声，那老者已跳在一旁，两枝判官笔互相磨擦，他手下众人齐往他身后挤去，迅速之极的排成一个方阵。这些人只几个箭步，便各自站定了方位，十余人既不推拥，亦无碰撞，足见平日习练有素，在这件事上着实花过了不少功夫。 徐天川和吴立身都吃了一惊，退开几步。敖彪奋勇上前，突然间方阵中四刀齐出，二斩其肩，二砍其足，配合得甚是巧妙，中间二杆枪则架开了他砍去的一刀。敖彪“啊”的一声叫，肩头中刀。 吴立身急叫：“彪儿后退！”敖彪向后跃开。战局在一瞬之间，胜负之势突然逆转。 徐天川站在韦小宝和二女之前相护，察看对方这阵法如何运用。只见那老者右手举起判官笔，高声叫道：“洪教主万年不老，永享仙福！寿与天齐，寿与天齐！”那十余名汉子一齐举起兵刃，大呼：“洪教主寿与天齐，寿与天齐！”声震屋瓦，状若颠狂。 徐天川心下骇然，不知他们在捣什么鬼。韦小宝听了“洪教主”三字，蓦地里记起陶红英惧怕已极的神色与言语，脱口而出：“神龙教！他们是神龙教的！” 那老者脸上变色，说道：“你也知道神龙教的名头！”高举右手，又呼：“洪教主神通广大。我教战无不胜，攻无不克，无坚不摧，无敌不破。敌人望风披靡，逃之夭夭。” 徐天川等听得他们每念一句，心中就是一凛，但觉这些人的行为希奇古怪，从所未有，临敌之际，居然大声念起书来。 韦小宝叫道：“这些人会念咒，别上了他们当！大伙儿上前杀啊。” 却听那老者和众人越念越快，已不再是那老者念一句，众人跟一句，而是十余人齐声念诵：“洪教主神通护佑，众弟子勇气百倍，以一当百，以百当万。洪教主神目如电，烛照四方。我弟子杀敌护教，洪教主亲加提拔，升任圣职。我教弟子护教而死，同升天堂！”突然间纵声大呼，疾冲而出。 吴立身、徐天川等挺兵刃相迎，可是这些人在这顷刻之间，竟然武功大进，钢刀砍来，短枪刺到，都比先前劲力加了数倍，如痴如狂，兵刃乱砍乱杀。不数合间，敖彪和刘一舟已被砍倒，跟着韦小宝、方怡、沐剑屏也都给一一打倒。方怡伤腿，沐剑屏伤臂。韦小宝背心上给戳了一枪，幸好有宝衣护身，这一枪没戳入体内，但来势太沉，立足不定，俯身跌倒。过不多时，吴立身和徐天川也先后受伤。那老者接连出指，点了各人身上要穴。 众汉子齐呼：“洪教主神通广大，寿与天齐，寿与天齐！”呼喊完毕，突然一齐坐倒，各人额头汗水有如泉涌，呼呼喘气，显得疲累不堪。这一战不到一盏茶时分便分胜败，这些人却如激斗了好几个时辰一般。 韦小宝心中连珠价叫苦，寻思：“这些人原来都会妖法，无怪陶姑姑一提到神龙教，便吓得什么似的，果然是神通广大。” 那老者坐在椅上闭目养神，过了好一会才站起身来，抹去了额头汗水，在大厅上走来走去，又过了好一会，他手下众人纷纷站起。 那老者向着徐天川等道：“你们一起跟着我念！听好了，我念一句，你们跟一句。洪教主神通广大，寿与天齐！” 徐天川骂道：“邪魔歪道，装神弄鬼，要老子跟着捣鬼，做你娘的清秋大梦！”那老者提起判官笔，在他额头一击，冬的一声，鲜血长流。徐天川骂道：“狗贼，妖人！” 那老者问吴立身道：“你念不念？”吴立身未答先摇头。那老者提起判官笔，也在他额头一击，再问敖彪时，敖彪骂道：“你奶奶的寿与狗齐！”那老者大怒，判官笔击下时用力甚重，敖彪立时晕去。吴立身喝道：“彪儿好汉子！你们这些只会搞妖法的家伙，他妈的，有种就把我们都杀了。” 那老者举起判官笔，向刘一舟道：“你念不念？”刘一舟道：“我……我……我……”那老者道：“你说：洪教主神通广大，寿与天齐！”刘一舟道：“洪教主……洪教主……”那老者将判官笔的尖端在他额头轻轻一戳，喝道：“快念！”刘一舟道：“是，是，洪教主……洪教主寿与天齐！” 那老者哈哈大笑，说道：“毕竟识
