Chapter 20 The 20th Remnant Stele The Sun and the Moon Look Still Like the Seniors, Xu Zaitan

The beauty swept her eyes from west to east, with a constant smile on her face, and said slowly: "The head of the Black Dragon Sect, today's deadline has come, please hand in the scriptures." Her voice was crisp, charming and pleasant Extremely stretched out his left hand and spread out his palm. Wei Xiaobao looked from afar and saw that the palm was really carved out of white jade, a thought immediately came to his mind: "This woman is not bad to be my wife. If she goes to Lichun Yuan to do business, all the prostitutes in Yangzhou will flock to her. It also smashed the gate of Lichun Courtyard."

An old man in black at the first left took two steps, bowed and said: "Madam Qi: There is a message from Beijing that the whereabouts of the four scriptures have been found, and they are stepping up their efforts. If you want to get it, I will present it to the leader and wife." His voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously very scared. Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "It's a pity, it's a pity, this beautiful woman turned out to be the wife of Hierarch Hong, a flower stuck in the cow dung. The moonlight shines on the hair pit!" The woman smiled slightly and said: "The Hierarch has extended the days three times, the black dragon makes you always push back and refuse to contribute, is it too disloyal to the Hierarch?"

The Black Dragon Envoy bowed even lower, and said: "This subordinate received the great kindness of the leader and his wife, and it is difficult to repay it. In fact, this matter is extremely difficult. Among the six people sent by this subordinate to the palace, there are already Deng Bingchun, Liu Yan, etc. The two died in martyrdom. I also hope that the leader and his wife will grant grace." Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "The fat sow and the fake maid are your subordinates. I'm afraid the position of the old bitch is not as high as yours." The woman raised her left hand, beckoned to Wei Xiaobao, smiled and said: "Little brother, come here." Wei Xiaobao was startled, and whispered: "Me?" The woman smiled and said: "That's right, I'm calling you. "Wei Xiaobao glanced at Mr. Lu and Fat Toutuo beside him.Mr. Lu said: "Madam call, come forward and salute respectfully." Wei Xiaobao thought: "I am not respectful, so what should I do?" But when he walked forward, he still bowed respectfully and said: "Master and Madam Enjoy immortal blessings forever, live as long as heaven.”

Mrs. Hong smiled and said, "You are a cute kid. Who taught you to add the word 'and Mrs.' under the leader?" Wei Xiaobao didn't know that the members of the Shenlong Sect always only said "the leader will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and his life will be as long as the heavens". Once he joined the sect, they recited these words very well, and no one dared to add a word or shorten a sentence .Wei Xiaobao saw that this lady was both beautiful and powerful, anyway flattering didn't cost much, so he casually added the word "He Furen" and after listening to her questioning, he said: "The leader is accompanied by his wife, so he can live as long as the heavens." It's interesting, otherwise, after one or two hundred years, wouldn't the leader be very lonely when the wife passed away?"

When Mrs. Hong heard it, she laughed like a flower branch trembling, Master Hong could not help but smile, twisted her long beard with her hand, nodded and smiled. Everyone in the Shenlong Sect was frightened when they saw the leader. Who would dare to spout such nonsense?Hearing Wei Xiaobao say this before, they all sweated for him, and they were relieved when they saw that the leader and his wife looked very amicable. Madam Hong smiled and said, "Then you came up with these three words and added them yourself?" Wei Xiaobao said: "That's right, it must be added. Madam is also mentioned in the crooked words on the stone tablet."

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Lu's whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. It took him countless painstaking efforts to teach him to memorize an inscription. Suddenly, he came up with an ingenious idea and added his wife's name. How could he still get the full number of words?This naughty boy was talking nonsense, he couldn't help talking nonsense about the inscription, his writing already had a lot of flaws, so why don't we expose it on the spot? Mrs. Hong was startled when she heard that, and said: "You said my name is also engraved on the stele?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes!" He said "Yes" casually, and then secretly called: "Oops! If she wants me to recite the inscription, it doesn't mention Madam." Fortunately, Madam Hong didn't ask carefully, and said: "Your surname is Wei, and you are from Beijing, right?" Wei Xiaobao said again: "Yes." Mrs. Hong said: "I heard from Fat Toutuo that you met a fat girl named Liu Yan in Beijing, and she taught you martial arts?"

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "What I said to Fat Toutuo, except for the scriptures, he has reported to the leader and his wife, now he has to die to the end, anyway, Fat Liuyan is already dead, this is called death without proof." Yes, this Aunt Liu is a good friend of my uncle, and she comes to my house from time to time during the day and night." Madam Hong asked with a smile: "What is she doing here?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Tell jokes with my uncle. Sometimes they hugged and kissed, thinking that I couldn't see it, but I secretly saw it." He knew that the more vividly he spoke, all the subtle twists and turns were covered, The more others believe it.

Mrs. Hong smiled and said: "You kid is very slippery. You peek at people kissing." Turning to the black dragon, she said: "Did you hear? Children don't tell lies, do they?" Wei Xiaobao followed her gaze, and saw that the face of the black dragon changed drastically, his body was trembling, his knees bent, he kowtowed repeatedly, and said: "This subordinate... this subordinate has no way to supervise, This crime deserves death, I beg the leader and his wife to net... just let me off the hook, and my subordinates will make amends." Wei Xiaobao was amazed, and thought to himself: "I said that fat pig girl kissed my uncle, what's the matter with this old man Coherent? Why are you so scared?"

Mrs. Hong smiled and said: "Atonement? What merits do you have? I also know that the people you sent are really loyal to work for the leader of the sect. I don't know that they are doing these romantic things in Beijing." The black dragon envoy repeated Kowtow, blood dripped from his forehead.Wei Xiaobao couldn't bear it, and wanted to say something beneficial to him, but couldn't think of it for a while. The black dragon envoy walked forward on his knees and shouted: "Master, I have followed your old man through life and death. Although I have no credit, I have also worked hard." Madam Hong sneered: "Why are you bringing up the past? How long has it been in charge? Wouldn’t it be fun for the Black Dragon Envoy to quit this position earlier?” The Black Dragon Envoy raised his head, looked at Hierarch Hong, and said in a sad voice: “Master, you really have no old feelings for your old subordinates and brothers. ?"

Master Hong's face was dull, and he said calmly: "There are too many old and foolish people in our religion, and they should be rectified." His voice was low and he spoke indistinctly.Wei Xiaobao heard him speak for the first time since seeing him. Suddenly, hundreds of boys and girls shouted in unison: "The teachings of the leader, always keep in mind, make achievements and defeat the enemy, nothing is impossible." The Black Dragon Envoy sighed, stood up tremblingly, and said: "Taking out the old and taking in the new, we old man should have died." Turning around, he said: "Bring it!"

Four black-clothed youths at the entrance of the hall stepped forward quickly, holding a wooden plate in each hand, covered by a brass dome, walked up to the Black Dragon Envoy, put the wooden plate on the ground, and quickly turned back.Everyone in the hall took a few steps back in unison. The black dragon envoy murmured: "The teacher's teachings, always keep in mind, make contributions to defeat the enemy, nothing is impossible... Hehe, if one thing is not successful, it is because the subordinates are not loyal." , mention it up. An object on the plate suddenly sprang up, followed by a flash of white light, and a flying knife flew towards it obliquely, cutting the object in two, and fell on the plate, wriggling, but it turned out to be a colorful little snake . Wei Xiaobao exclaimed.Everyone in the hall also shouted: "Which one?" "Who committed the rebellion?" "Taken!" "Which traitor dares to disobey the leader?" Madam Hong suddenly stood up, clasped her hands together, and then swung her three times.There was only the sound of the sword being unsheathed, hundreds of boys and girls rushed to the hall, surrounded by fifty or sixty senior congregants.These hundreds of youths in Tsing Yi belong to Tsing Yi, and white clothes belong to white clothes, they are not mixed, each of them occupies a position, or six or seven, or eight or nine of them will deal with one of them, and their long swords will be pointed at the vital points. was restrained in between.Around Fat Toutuo and Mr. Lu, there are also seven or eight people facing each other with long swords. A black-bearded Taoist in his fifties laughed loudly and said, "Ma'am, it took you several months to practice this formation, right? To deal with the old brother, it really doesn't take so much effort." Standing around him There were eight girls in red clothes, and the two girls stood forward with long swords, and the tip of the sword held his heart, and shouted: "Don't be rude to the leader and madam." The Taoist smiled and said: "Madam, that colorful dragon is mine. Taoist Wugen killed it. If you want to punish, just do it, why bother others?" Mrs. Hong sat back in her chair, smiled and said: "You admit it yourself, there is nothing better. Daoist, the leader treats you well, right? You are appointed as the head envoy of the Chilongmen. That is the leader who is under one person and the leader of ten thousand people." Why are you rebelling against the high position you are in?" Taoist Wugen said: "My subordinates have not rebelled. The black dragon envoy Zhang Danyue has made great contributions to our sect, but because some of his subordinates are not doing well, the wife wants to take his life. The leader and madam beg for mercy." Madam Hong smiled and said, "What if I don't agree?" Rootless Taoist said: "Although the Shenlong Sect was created by the leader, tens of thousands of brothers have gone through fire and water, and everyone has contributed. There were 1,023 old brothers in the uprising back then, and today some of them have died at the hands of the enemy, and some of them have died. Some of them were killed by the leader, and there are less than a hundred people left. I begged the leader to spare the lives of dozens of our old brothers, and expelled us all from the religion. The leader and his wife saw that our old man hated us, If you want to appoint a newcomer, tell us old men to leave together." Mrs. Hong sneered and said: "Since the founding of the Shenlong Cult, I have never heard of anyone leaving the sect alive. Taoist Master Wugen said that, it is really whimsical." Taoist Wugen said: "So, madam is not agreeing? Mrs. Hong said: "I'm sorry, our religion doesn't have this rule." Taoist Wugen laughed and said, "It turns out that the leader and his wife must kill us all." Mrs. Hong smiled and said: "That's not the case. The old man is loyal to the leader, so the leader will naturally still treat him as a good brother, and there will be no discrimination. We don't ask whether he is loyal to the leader, but whether he is loyal to the leader. hand." Hundreds of young men and women raised their left hands together, the besieged elders also raised their hands, even Taoist Wugen also raised their left hands high, and everyone said in unison: "Be loyal to the leader and have no second thoughts!" Wei Xiaobao saw everyone raising their hands. Hand, also raised his hand. Mrs. Hong nodded and said: "That's very good, so everyone is loyal to the leader, even this new little brother, even though he is not a member of the religion, is actually loyal to the leader." Wei Xiaobao thought: "I am loyal to the bastard tortoise. Mrs. Hong said: "Everyone is loyal, so we don't have a single traitor here. I'm afraid there is something wrong? You have to investigate carefully. All the old brothers have to be wronged for a while, and they are all tied up." Hundreds of young men and women They answered in unison: "Yes!" A burly man shouted: "Wait a minute!" Mrs. Hong said: "Bai Longshi, what's your opinion?" The man said: "I don't have any, my subordinates think it's unfair." Mrs. Hong said: "Tsk tsk tsk , you accuse me of being unfair." The big man said: "I dare not, I have followed the leader for twenty years, and I am going forward in everything. When I worked hard for the religion, these little babies were not born in the world. Why did they You are loyal to the leader, but say our old brother is not loyal?" Madam Hong said with a smile: "The White Dragon Envoy said that, he is showing his merits. Are you saying that without your White Dragon Envoy Zhong Zhiling, the Dragon Cult would not be where it is today?" The burly man Zhong Zhiling said: "The establishment of the Shenlong Cult is the work of the leader alone. Everyone is just following him to conquer the world, so there is no credit to speak of, but..." Mrs. Hong said: "But what?" Zhong Zhiling said: "But we have no credit, and these teenage children have no credit." Mrs. Hong said: "I am only in my twenties, so I have no credit?" Zhong Zhiling hesitated for a while, then said: "That's right, Madam didn't deserve any credit either. It's the leader and his old man who created the teaching and career." Mrs. Hong said slowly: "Since everyone has no credit, killing you is not wronged, is it?" At this point, there was a murderous look in her eyes, but the expression on her face was still charming. Zhong Zhiling yelled angrily: "Killing my surname Zhong, of course it doesn't matter. I'm afraid that if you kill Zhongliang and meritorious officials like this, the foundation of the Dragon Sect will be destroyed by Madam alone." Mrs. Hong said: "Very good, very good, alas, I'm very tired." These words were spoken lazily, who knew they were actually a secret signal to order to kill.When the seven white-clothed teenagers standing around Zhong Zhiling's body heard this, their long swords stretched out at the same time, piercing Zhong Zhiling's body together.Pulling out the seven swords, he shot seven blood arrows from his body, splashing blood on the clothes of the seven white-clothed teenagers.Zhong Zhiling yelled: "Master, you...you are so patient! Good..." He fell to the ground and died.The seven teenagers retreated to the corridor, their movements were very orderly. The old brothers in the sect all know that the White Dragon Envoy Zhong Zhiling's martial arts are very high, but with the seven swords coming together, he has no power to resist. It shows that these seven teenagers had received the guidance of the sect master beforehand in order to stab this sword in the hall today. I don't know how many times I have practiced it, but I have reached the point where I am very familiar with it, and my heart is always trembling. Madam Hong yawned, and gently pressed the small cherry mouth with her left hand, looking extremely coquettish.Master Hong still looked blank, as if he didn't notice Zhong Zhiling's murder.Mrs. Hong said softly: "Qinglong envoy, Huanglong envoy, you two, do you think Bailong envoy deserves what he deserves for conspiring to rebel?" An old man with narrow eyes and sharp face bowed and said: "Zhong Zhiling rebelled against the leader and his wife. He has been planning for a long time. His subordinates hate him very much. He has reported to his wife several times. My wife always said, for the sake of my old brother, let him There is a chance to repent. The leader and his wife are magnanimous, and they only hope that he will turn over a new leaf, but they don’t know that this person is extremely vicious, and his crime is unforgivable. Putting him to death so easily is extremely cheap for him. Brothers in the church are all grateful The kindness of the leader and his wife." Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "This is a flattering king." Mrs. Hong smiled slightly, and said, "Emissary Huanglong still understands the general situation. Envoy Qinglong, what do you think?" A tall and thin man in his fifties glared at the eight youths in green clothes beside him, and scolded: "Go away. The leader wants to kill me, can I do it myself?" The eight youths raised their long swords slightly forward, and the tip of the sword When he touched his clothes, the man sneered a few times, slowly raised his hands, grabbed the clothes on his chest, and said: "Master, madam, back then, my subordinates married the four heads of the red, white, black, and yellow sects. Brother, I am determined to work for the Dragon Sect, but I never thought that this day will come. It is not surprising that Madam wants to kill Xu, but it is strange that Huanglong made Brother Yin greedy for life and fear of death, so he said such despicable and dirty words to slander his good brother... " Hearing a sharp chirp, the man spread his hands outwards and tore the robe in half. With a vibration of his arms, two pieces of robes rolled out horizontally, and he swung the long swords of the eight youths in green clothes. Opened, a blue light flashed, and there were two daggers half a foot long in the palm of his hand.There was a sneering sound, and the eight youths in Tsing Yi were stabbed in their chests, and they all fell to the ground, with blood spurting from their wounds.The corpses of eight people fell beside him, forming a circle, and they were arranged very neatly.These moves were as fast as lightning. Madam Hong was startled and clapped her hands continuously.More than 20 youths in Tsing Yi raised their swords and blocked the Qinglong Envoy, and then surrounded him. The Qinglong envoy laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Madam, the dolls you taught are extremely pusty. The teacher mainly relies on these little guys to make achievements and defeat the enemy, isn't it a bit difficult?" The seven young men assassinated Zhong Zhiling, but Hung Hierarch seemed to turn a blind eye to it, and the Azure Dragon envoy assassinated the eighth young man, he seemed indifferent, sitting firmly in the chair, never paying attention to it. Mrs. Hong glanced at her husband, seemed a little ashamed, smiled sweetly, sat down, and said with a smile: "Qinglong envoy, your sword skills are very good, today..." Suddenly there was a loud choking sound, the swords in the hands of hundreds of young men and women in the hall fell to the ground one after another, everyone was amazed, seeing all the young men slumped to the ground one by one, everyone felt dizzy immediately, Uncertain.The one with weaker skills fell first, followed by the others who also staggered and fell down. In an instant, the hall fell to the ground in disorder. Madam Hong exclaimed: "Why...why..." her body softened and she slid down from the bamboo chair. But Qinglong Envoy stood upright and said with a smirk: "Master, you killed brothers, did you think that today will happen?" The two daggers struck with a clang sound, stepped on the bodies of the people underground, and walked towards Master Hong. Master Hong snorted, "That's not necessarily the case!" He stretched out his hand to grab the armrest of the bamboo chair, and with a click, broke the armrest. The Azure Dragon Envoy immediately changed his color, took two steps back, and said: "Master, the Shenlong Cult is so huge that it has been torn to pieces, who planted the trouble, you old man should understand by now?" Master Hong let out an "um" and suddenly slid off the chair and sat down on the ground.The envoy Qinglong was overjoyed, and rushed forward, suddenly there was a cry, and something flew toward his chest with a strong gust of wind.Qinglong slashed out with the short sword in his right hand, the object was broken into two pieces, it turned out to be the armrest thrown by Master Hong from the bamboo chair.The strength of his throw was not trivial, a section of the bamboo stick was cut off, the upper half remained unabated, with a plop, it plunged into the chest of the Azure Dragon Envoy, breaking five or six ribs until reaching his lungs. Qinglong made a loud cry, but stopped abruptly, the breath in his lungs could not catch up, and he became hoarse immediately.After shaking his body twice, the two short swords in his hands fell to the ground and pierced into the bodies of the two teenagers respectively.The limbs of the two teenagers were numb and it was difficult to move, but their minds were still clear and they could speak. When the dagger was thrust into their bodies, they cried out in pain. Hundreds of young men and women cheered in unison when they saw the leader show his supernatural power and knocked down the Azure Dragon Envoy.I saw Master Hong supporting the ground with his right hand, struggling to stand up, but his right leg was not upright, his knees gave way, and he fell to the ground and rolled a few times, falling into a mess.In this way, everyone knew that the leader, like himself, had also been poisoned, and his muscles were paralyzed.The leader was usually extremely solemn, he didn't even say a word or laugh in front of the congregation, but at this moment he fell so embarrassingly, he lost all strength in his body. Hundreds of people in the hall fell to the ground, but only one person stood up straight.This person was originally very short, but among the hundreds of people who were lying on the ground, he could not help but stand out from the crowd. This person is Wei Xiaobao.He smelled a faint fragrance in his nose, he felt relaxed and happy, his whole body was warm, and the happiness was unspeakable. Seeing that everyone fell to the ground, why there was such a change, he was completely puzzled.He stayed for a while, stretched out his hand to pull Fat Toutuo, and asked, "Fat Venerable, what are you doing?" Fat Toutuo wondered: "You...you are not poisoned?" Wei Xiaobao wondered: "Poisoned? I... I don't know." He tried his best to help Fat Toutuo up, but Fat Toutuo didn't have any strength in his legs, and he sat down again. Mr. Lu suddenly asked: "Brother Xu, you... What kind of poison did you use?" The green dragon wobbled, as if he was drunk, held the pillar with one hand, coughed continuously, and said: "It's a pity, but...it's a pity that the success is on the verge of failure, I...I'm useless." Mr. Lu said: "Is it 'Qichongruanjinsan'? Is it 'Thousands of Miles of Ecstasy'? Is...is it 'Hu... blood... Rotten bone powder'?" He even mentioned the names of the three highly poisonous drugs, and said When it came to "Blood Transformation and Rotten Bone Powder", his voice was trembling, and he seemed extremely frightened. Qinglong injured his right lung, coughed so badly that he couldn't speak.Mr. Lu said: "Why is Mr. Wei not poisoned? Ah, yes!" He suddenly realized that the word "yes" screamed loudly, and said: "You have put 'Hundred Flower Belly Snake Ointment' on your dagger. , Great plan, great plan. Mr. Wei, please smell the two daggers of Qinglong Envoy, is there a scent of flowers on the sword?" Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "There is poison on the sword, I don't want to smell it." He said: "It smells good even here." Mr. Lu's face showed joy, and he said: "Yes, this 'Hundred Flower Belly Snake Ointment' produces a strong fragrance when it encounters blood. It is a secret method for refining spices. After smelling it, ordinary people can only feel refreshed, but...but We live on the Spirit Snake Island, and everyone is used to drinking realgar wine to avoid poisonous snakes. Once this aroma touches the realgar wine, it will make people's muscles and bones weak, and they will be puzzled for twelve hours. Brother Xu, what a clever plan. This 'Hundred Flower Belly Snake Ointment' is forbidden on the island, so you have already prepared it in secret, and you must have not drunk realgar wine for three or four months." The Azure Dragon Envoy sat down on the ground, just sitting on the two teenagers, shook his head and said: "Man is not as good as God, but in the end he was killed by Hong Antong." Several teenagers shouted: "Bold madman, you dare to call the holy name of the leader." The envoy Qinglong stood up slowly, picked up a long sword, and walked towards Master Hong step by step, saying, "Can't Hong Antong be called by name? Cough...after I killed this villain...cough...this is called Don't you scream?" Hundreds of young men and women exclaimed. After a while, Huanglong envoy's old voice said: "Brother Xu, go and kill Hong Antong, and everyone will regard you as the leader of the Shenlong sect. Please read quickly: we obey the orders of the leader Xu, and we will be loyal." There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then dozens of people began to read: "We follow the order of the leader Xu, and we will be loyal." Some voices were firm, and some seemed hesitant, quite uneven. The Azure Dragon Envoy took two steps, coughed, and swayed a few times. He was seriously injured, but struggled with all his strength, saying that he wanted to kill Hong Jiaozhu first. Mrs. Hong suddenly giggled, and said: "Qinglong Envoy, you have no strength, your legs have no strength at all, and the blood is gushing out from your chest, it is almost running out. You can't do it. Sit down, you are very tired, sit down." Sit down, that's right, sit down and rest for a while. You put down the long sword, and sit next to me later, let me heal your wound. That's right, sit down and put down the long sword." The more you said, the louder the voice It is gentle and charming. The Azure Dragon Envoy walked a few more steps, and finally sat down slowly. With a clang, the long sword dropped from his hand and fell to the ground. The envoy Huanglong saw that the envoy Qinglong could no longer stand up, and said loudly: "Xu Xueting, you traitor is delusional, you want to be the goddamn leader, you take a picture of yourself after taking a piss, this kind of virtue doesn't seem right." The red dragon made the rootless Taoist shout: "Yin Jin, you despicable and shameless villain, you are swaying in the wind and swaying here and there. As soon as the old Taoist hands and feet are alive, the first one will kill you." Huanglong envoy Yin Jin said: "Why are you so cruel? I...I..." He wanted to fight back, but saw Qinglong envoy Xu Xueting staggered to stand up again, seeing that he didn't know who would win the battle, so he stopped talking. For a moment, the eyes of hundreds of people in the hall were fixed on Xu Xueting. Mrs. Hong said softly: "Brother Xu, you are very tired, you should sit down. You look at me, I will sing a little song for you. Take a good rest, I will sing a little song for you every day from now on .Do you think I was born to be good-looking?" Xu Xueting murmured, and said: "You...you look very good...but I...I don't dare to look at it..." As he said that, he sat down and couldn't stand up again this time, but he was clear in his heart that as long as he If you can't sit still, you can't kill the leader. Among the hundreds of people, the leader has the most powerful skills. He must be the first to get rid of the poison on his body. Then all the old brothers will be unlucky, and they will all be poisoned by him. He said: "Lu... Mr. Lu, I can't move anymore. Think... think... ahem... think of a way." Mr. Lu said: "Young master Wei, this leader is very vicious. After the poison on his body dissipates, he will kill everyone. Even you can't survive. Go and kill the leader and his wife." Even if he didn't say these few words, Wei Xiaobao already understood, immediately picked up a sword, and walked slowly towards the leader. Mr. Lu said again: "This Mrs. Hong is a vixen, she knows how to deceive people, don't look at her face, don't look into her eyes." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes!" He straightened his sword and took a few steps. Madam Hong said softly: "Little brother, do you think I was born beautiful?" The voice was full of ecstasy.Wei Xiaobao's heart moved, he turned his head and wanted to look at her.Fat Toutuo yelled: "Harmful, I can't see it!" Wei Xiaobao froze and closed his eyes tightly.Mrs. Hong smiled lightly and said, "Little brother, look at me and open your eyes. Look, there is your shadow in my eyeballs!" Wei Xiaobao opened his eyes and saw Mrs. Hong's bright eyes full of smiles, he couldn't help but feel agitated, then he raised his sword as his chest, walked towards Master Hong, and said in his heart: "You are such a beauty, I really can't bear to kill you. But her husband must be killed." Suddenly, a crisp voice from the left said, "Brother Wei! You can't kill him!" The voice was so familiar, Wei Xiaobao's heart trembled, he looked where the voice came from, and saw a girl in red lying on the ground, with beautiful eyebrows and handsome eyes, it was the little princess Mu Jianping.He was taken aback, he never expected to meet her here, as for the fact that she was wearing the red dress of a Chilongmen girl, he couldn't help being surprised, he leaned over to help her up, and asked, "Why are you here?" Mu Jianping didn't answer his question, but said: "You...you must never kill the leader." Wei Xiaobao wondered: "You voted for the Dragon Sect? How...how could it be?" Mu Jianping's whole body was so soft that Without any bones, he leaned his head on his shoulder, put a small mouth just next to his ear, and said in a low voice: "If you kill the leader and his wife, I won't be able to live. Those old men hate us to death, and they must kill us all." We young people can't." Wei Xiaobao said: "I want them not to harm you, they will agree." Mu Jianping said anxiously: "No, no! The leader gave us poison, and others can't cure it .” Wei Xiaobao reunited with her after a long absence, he was already very happy, not to mention the soft jade in his arms and the soft voice in his ear, it was difficult to refuse, and he thought that she had been forced to take the poison by the leader and no one else could save her, so he killed the leader , is to kill this little beauty in his arms, this is absolutely impossible, there is only one embarrassment, whispered: "If I don't kill the leader, after the poison on the leader's body is gone, he will kill me." He hugged Mu Jianping tightly, and said these words in her ear. Mu Jianping said: "You saved the leader and his wife, why would they kill you?" Wei Xiaobao thought it was right, Madam Hong is so charming, she cannot be killed no matter what, and this is the opportunity to make great achievements, but Fat Toutuo, Mr. Lu, Taoist Wugen, they will inevitably be killed by the leader.That Wugen Taoist is very heroic. It would be a pity to kill him. It is best not to kill the leader and his wife, but also to save the lives of Fat Toutuo and others, and said: "Exactly! Good wife. Even if the leader kills me, I will not I can't save you." He said and kissed her left cheek. Mu Jianping was ashamed, his face flushed, his eyes showed joy, and he said in a low voice: "You have made great achievements, and you are a child, how could the leader kill you?" Wei Xiaobao put Mu Jianping gently on the ground, turned his head and said: "Mr. Lu, the leader cannot be killed, nor can the wife. There are words engraved on the stone tablet, saying that the leader and wife will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live as long as the heavens." , How dare I kill them? The two old men have great powers, even if they hurt them, they can't kill them." Mr. Lu was in a hurry and shouted: "The inscription is fake, how can it be counted? Don't think about it, kill them both quickly, otherwise you will die without a place to bury you." Wei Xiaobao shook his head again and again, and said: "Mr. Lu, you can't say such offensive words. Do you have any antidote? Let's get rid of the poison on the leader and wife as soon as possible." Mrs. Hong said softly: "That's right, little brother, you really have great insight. God sent a young hero like you to come down to assist the sect master. It is really a blessing for everyone in the Dragon Cult to have such a young hero like you. "These words seemed to come from the heart, full of surprise and admiration. Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao felt indescribably comfortable, and said with a smile, "Ma'am, I'm not a member of the Dragon Sect." Mrs. Hong smiled and said: "That couldn't be easier. You join the sect immediately, and I will be your guide. Master, this little brother has made such great contributions to the sect, what kind of job should we assign him?" ?” The leader said: "The envoy of the White Dragon Sect, Zhong Zhiling, betrayed the teaching and obeyed the law. Let's promote this young man to be an envoy of the White Dragon." Mrs. Hong smiled and said: "Excellent. Little brother, the leader of our religion is headed by the five dragon envoys of blue, yellow, red, white, and black. It is true that you are the envoy of the five dragons as soon as you join the sect. Something that has never happened. It shows how much the leader relies on you. Little brother, we know your surname is Wei, what is your nickname?" Wei Xiaobao said: "My name is Wei Xiaobao. There is a nickname in Jianghu called 'Little White Dragon'." He remembered that Mao Shiba made up a nickname for him that day, and felt that without a nickname, it would not be prestigious enough. Today's events coincided with each other. Mrs. Hong said joyfully: "Look, look! This is God's arrangement, otherwise there would be no such cleverness. The leader Jinkou, once he said a word, he will never go back on his word." Mr. Lu was in a hurry and said, "Young Master Wei, don't be fooled by them. Even if you become the White Dragon Envoy, if they don't like it, wouldn't it be easy to kill you? White Dragon Envoy Zhong Zhiling is the example in front of you." You go and kill the leader and his wife, and everyone will regard you as the leader of the Dragon Sect." As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.Fat Toutuo, Xu Xueting, Taoist Wugen, etc. all felt that these words were too unbelievable, but after thinking about it, if he was not recognized as the leader of the leader, the White Dragon Envoy would have a higher position in the leader. In his hands, this is the only way to lure him to kill the leader and his wife. As long as he gets through the difficulties, forgive this little boy, even if he really becomes the leader, he will not be able to escape the grasp of everyone.Immediately everyone said in unison: "Yes, yes, we all enshrine Mr. Wei as the leader of the Dragon Sect, and everyone is loyal to you." Wei Xiaobao's heart moved, and he squinted at Madam Hong, only to see that she was half-sitting and half-lying on the bamboo chair, her whole body seemed to have no bones, her chest rose and fell slightly, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were eager to stream, and she thought: "Do it. The leader is no fun, but the wife of the leader is so beautiful. If I become the leader of the leader, can you still be the wife of the leader?" But this thought only flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood: "These people are all very strong in martial arts. Once the poison is detoxified, how can I care about them? This is crossing the bridge." I have already experienced it in the Qingmu Hall of the Tiandihui. The brothers of the Tiandihui are all heroes. After crossing the bridge, they are not in a hurry to draw. of?Although the leader's wife is beautiful, her own life is even more beautiful after all, she stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "I can't be the leader, if you say such things, it will ruin my fortune, and it's a bit outrageous." Let's do this, leader and madam, everyone is reconciled, today's account is not counted by either party. Mr. Lu and Qinglong offended the leader, please be lenient and not punish them. Mr. Lu, take out the antidote, everyone Wouldn't it be good to be submissive and be kind?" Master Hong didn't wait for Mr. Lu to open his mouth, and immediately said: "Okay, that's how we do it. The White Dragon Envoy advises us to help each other and not to blame the past. I accept my faithful advice, and I will forgive all the acts of rebellion in the hall today. No further pursuit." Wei Xiaobao said happily: "Qinglong envoy, the leader agreed, isn't that very good?" Seeing that Wei Xiaobao would not kill the leader no matter what, Mr. Lu sighed and said: "Since that is the case, leader and madam, you two please make an oath." Mrs. Hong said: "I, Su Quan, will never pursue today's matter. If I go against my words, I will fall into Longtan and be devoured by ten thousand snakes." Master Hong said in a low voice: "Hong Antong, the leader of the Dragon Sect, will settle today's affairs with all the old brothers in the future. Hong fell into the Longtan and was devoured by thousands of snakes. There is no bones left." "Entering the Dragon Pool and being devoured by ten thousand snakes" is the heaviest punishment in the Dragon Sect. The leader and his wife made this solemn oath in public, although they are forced by the situation, they are absolutely determined not to go back on their words.Mr. Lu said: "Qinglong Envoy, what do you think?" Xu Xueting was dying, and said: "I... I can't survive anyway." Mr. Lu said again: "Master Wugen, what do you think?" Taoist Wugen said loudly: "That's it. Master Hong was originally our old brother. His literary talent and martial arts are ten times better than others. Everyone originally embraced him as the master. There was no second heart. Since he married this lady, My personality has changed drastically, I only like to promote young men and women, and kill our old brothers one by one. Qinglong made this attack, only to save his life, and has no other intentions. Killing the old brother willfully, why should everyone turn against him? Besides, the Shenlong sect also needs the leader." A group of boys and girls shouted loudly: "The leader will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and his life will be as long as heaven." Mr. Lu said: "Mr. Wei, you didn't drink the realgar wine, and you didn't get poisoned by the hundred-flower-bellied snake ointment. You made today's achievement. It's God's will in the dark. It's very easy to get rid of this poison. You go outside. Go scoop up some cold water and feed it to everyone." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "So this poison is so easy to detox." When he walked outside the hall, he couldn't find any cold water. When he went around the hall, he saw a row of more than twenty seven-stone jars, all filled with clean water. There was a fire in the bamboo hall, so I immediately carried a bucket full of clean water, went back to the hall, first scooped up a ladle to feed the leader to drink, and then fed it to Madam Hong.The third scoop was fed to Taoist Wugen, saying, "Master Taoist, you are a hero." The fourth and fifth scoops were fed to Fat Toutuo and Mr. Lu, and the sixth scoop was fed to Mu Jianping. Everyone drank cold water, vomited immediately, and slowly moved their hands and feet.韦小宝又喂数人后，陆先生已可起立行走，过去扶起青龙使许雪亭，为他止血治伤。胖头陀等分别去提冷水，灌救亲厚的兄弟。不久沐剑屏救了几名红衣少女。一时大厅上呕吐狼藉，臭不可当。 洪夫人道：“大家回去休息，明日再行聚会。” 洪教主道：“本座既不究既往，众兄弟自伙之间，也不得因今日之事，互相争吵寻仇，违者重罚。五龙少年不得对掌门使不敬，掌门使也不可借故处置本门少年。” 众人齐声奉令，但疑忌忧虑，毕竟难以尽去。 洪夫人柔声道：“白龙使，你跟我来。”韦小宝还不知她是在呼唤自己，见她招手，这才想起自己已做了神龙教的白龙使，便跟了过去。 教主和夫人并肩而行，出了大厅，已可行动的教众都躬身行礼，高声叫道：“教主永享仙福，寿与天齐！”
教主和夫人沿着一条青石板路，向厅左行去，穿过一大片竹林，到了一个平台之上。台上筑着几间大竹屋，十余名分穿五色衣衫的少年男女持剑前后把守，见到教主，一齐躬身行礼。洪夫人领韦小宝进了竹屋，向一名白衣少年道：“这位韦公子，是你们白龙门新任的掌门使，请他在东厢房休息，你们好好服侍。”说着向韦小宝一笑，进了内堂。 几名白衣少年转身向韦小宝道：“属下少年参见座使。”韦小宝在皇宫中做惯了首领太监，在天地会中又做惯了香主，旁人对他恭敬，已毫不在乎，只点了点头。 几名白衣少年引他进了东厢房，献上茶来。虽说是厢房，却也十分宽敞，陈设雅洁，桌上架上摆满了金玉古玩，壁上悬着字画，床上被褥华美，居然有点皇宫中的派头。 几名白衣少年见洪夫人言语神情之中，显然对韦小宝极为看重，而教主这“仙福居”更是从无外人在此过宿，白龙使享此殊荣，地位更在其他四使之上了。这些少年在此守卫，不知适才大厅中的变故，但见韦小宝位尊得宠，一个个过来大献殷勤。 当日下午，韦小宝向几名白衣少年问了五龙门的各种规矩。原来神龙教下分五门，每一名统率数十名老兄弟、一百名少年，数百名寻常教众。掌门使本来都是教中立有大功的高手宿将，但教主近来全力提拔新秀，往往二十岁左右之人，便得出掌仅次于掌门使的要职，韦小宝年纪虽小，却也无人有丝毫诧异。 次晨洪教主和夫人又在大厅中召集会众。各人脸上都有惴惴不安之色，教主虽已立誓不再追究，但他城府极深，谁也料不到他会有什么厉害手段使出来。 教主和夫人升座。韦小宝排在五龙使班次的第四位，反在胖头陀和陆先生之上。 洪教主问道：“青龙使的伤势怎样？”陆先生躬身道：“启禀教主，青龙使伤势不轻，性命是否能保，眼下还是难说。”教主从怀中取出一个醉红小瓷瓶，道：“这是三颗天王保命丹，你拿去给他服了。”说着也不见他扬手，那瓷瓶便向陆先生身前缓缓飞来。 陆先生忙伸手接住，伏地说道：“谢教主大恩。”他知这天王保命丹十分难得，是教主派遣部属采集无数珍奇药材炼制而成，其中的三百年老山人参、白熊胆、雪莲等物，尤其难得，教主大费心力所炼成的，前后也不过十来颗而已。许雪亭一服这三颗灵丹，性命当可无碍。 其余老兄弟都躬身道谢，均想：“青龙使昨日对教主如此冲撞，更立心要害他性命，今日教主反赐珍药，那么他的的确确是不咎既往了。”无不大感欣慰。大厅中本来人人严加戒备，这时脸上都现笑容，不少人大吁长气。 洪夫人笑道：“白龙使，听说你在五台山上见到一块石碣，碣上刻有蝌蚪文字？” 韦小宝躬身道：“是！” 胖头陀道：“启禀教主、夫人，属下拓得这碣文在此。”从怀中取出一个油纸包，打了开来，取出一张极大的拓片，悬在东边墙上，拓片黑底白字，文字希奇古怪，无人能识。 洪夫人道：“白龙使，你若识得这些文字，便读给大家听听。” 韦小宝应道：“是。”眼望拓文，大声背诵陆先生所撰的那篇文字：“维大唐贞观二年十月甲子……”慢慢的一路背将下去，偶尔遗忘，便说：“嗯，这是个什么字，倒也难认，是了，是个'魔'字。”背到“仙福永享，普天崇敬。寿与天齐，文武仁圣”，那四句时，将之改了一改，说是“仙福永享，连同夫人。寿与天齐，文武仁圣。” 这“连同夫人”四字，实在颇为粗俗，若教陆先生撰写，必另有雅训字眼，但韦小宝不通文理，哪里作得出什么好文章来？不将四字句改成五字，已十分难能可贵了。 洪夫人一听到这四字，眉开眼笑，说道：“教主，碣文中果真有我的名字，倒不是白龙使胡乱捏造的。” 洪教主也十分高兴，点头笑道：“好，好！我们上邀天眷，创下这个神龙教来，原来大唐贞观年间，上天已有预示。” 厅上教众齐声高呼：“教主仙福永享，寿与天齐。” 无根道人等老兄弟也自骇然，均想：“教主与夫人上应天象，那可冒犯不得。” 韦小宝最后将八部《四十二章经》的所在也都一一念了。洪夫人叹道：“圣贤豪杰，惠民救世，固然上天早有安排，便连吴三桂这等人，也都在老天爷的算中。教主，这八部宝经，份中应属本教所有，迟早都会到我神龙教来。”教主捻须微笑，道：“夫人说得是。” 众人又大叫：“寿与天齐，寿与天齐！” 待人声稍静，洪教主道：“现下开香堂，封韦小宝为本教白龙门掌门使之职。” 神龙教开香堂，和天地会的仪节又自不同。韦小宝见香案上放着五只黄金盘子，每只盘子中都盛着一条小蛇，共分青、黄、赤、白、黑五色。五条小蛇昂起了头，舌头一伸一缩，身子却盘着不动。 韦小宝拜过五色“神龙”，向教主和夫人磕头，接受无根道人等人道贺。洪夫人斟了三杯雄黄酒让他饮下，笑道：“饮了此酒，岛上神龙便都知道你是自己人，以后再也不会来咬你了。”教主赐了一串雄黄珠子，命他贴肉挂着，百毒不侵。跟着白龙门本门的执事和少年齐来参见掌门使。教主吩咐：“青龙掌门使因病休养，胖头陀拓搨碣文有功，青龙门事务，暂由胖头陀代理。待青龙使病愈，再行接掌。”胖头陀躬身奉令。 教主又道：“五龙使和陆高轩六人，齐到后厅议事。”当即和夫人走下座来。厅上众人高呼恭送，无根道人、韦小宝、胖头陀、陆先生等都跟随其后，韦小宝这时才知，原来陆先生的名字叫陆高轩。
那后厅便在大厅之后，厅堂不大，居中两张大竹椅，教主和夫人就座。下面设了五张矮凳，三位掌门使分别坐下，胖头陀也坐了一张，说道：“白龙使请坐。” 韦小宝见陆先生没有座位，微感迟疑。陆先生微笑道：“白龙使请坐，'潜龙堂'中，没有我这等闲职教众的座位。”韦小宝料想规矩如此，胖头陀若不是代理青龙使，那也是没有座位的了，便即坐下。陆先生站在黑龙使下首。 突然之间，殷锦等四人都站起来，韦小宝不明所以，跟着站起，只听殷锦和陆先生等五人齐声念道：“教主宝训……”韦小宝当即跟着念下去：“……时刻在心。制胜克敌，无事不成。”他尖锐的童音，又比那五人更大声了些。洪教主点了点头，五人这才坐下。 洪教主道：“碣文所示，这八部《四十二章经》散处四方，可是黑龙使报称，其中四部是在皇宫之内，却是何故？”黑龙使道：“想来这四部经书本在少林寺、沐王府等处，后来给鞑子抢入了宫中。”教主沉吟不语，黑龙使脸上惧意渐浓。 洪教主转向胖头陀，问道：“你师兄有消息回报没有？” 胖头陀恭恭敬敬的道：“启禀教主，瘦头陀以前曾说，在镶蓝旗旗王府中，曾查到一些端倪，可是后来却再也查不到什么了。” 韦小宝心中一动：“镶蓝旗旗主府中？那不是陶姑姑的师父去过的地方吗？原来胖头陀还有个师兄，叫做瘦头陀。”只听洪教主道：“你说我吩咐他尽快追查，不得懒散。”胖头陀连声答应。 过了一会，洪夫人微笑道：“黑龙使派人去皇宫里取经，据他自己说，已经竭尽全力，可是至今一部经书也没取来。这件事，咱们恐怕另得派一个福份大些的人去办了。” 黄龙使殷锦忙道：“夫人高见。取经之事，想来和福份大小，干系极大。黑龙使也不是不努力。不肯替教主立功，可是始终阻难重重，多半是福气不够，因此宝经难以到手。”洪夫人微笑道：“依你之见，谁的福份够呢？”殷锦道：“本教福气最大的，自然是教主他老人家，其次是夫人。不过总不能劳动两位大驾亲自出马。更其次福份最大的，首推白龙使。他识得碣文，又立下大功，印堂隐隐透出红光，福份之大，教主属下无人能出其右。” 教主捻须微笑，道：“但他小小孩童，能担当这件大任么？” 白龙使一职，在神龙教虽然甚尊，在韦小宝心里，却半点份量也没有，他既陷身岛上，只好随遇而安，瞧着闭月羞花的洪夫人。自是过瘾之极，但瞧得多了，如给教主发觉自己色迷迷的神色，难免有杀身之祸，还是尽速回北京为妙，听教主这么说，正是脱身的良机，便道：“教主，夫人，承蒙提拔，属下十分感激，我本事是没有的，但托了两位大福气，混进皇宫中去偷这四部宝经，倒也有成功的指望。” 洪教主点了点头。洪夫人喜道：“你肯自告奋勇，足见对教主忠心。我知你聪明伶俐，福份又大，恐怕正是上天派来给教主办成这件大事的。” 洪教主缓缓道：“据黑龙使禀报，他派在皇宫中的部属传出消息，小皇帝手下有个小太监，叫做什么小桂子的……”韦小宝大吃一惊：“拆穿西洋镜，那可糟糕之极！”听教主续道：“……小皇帝派了他去五台山，意欲不利于我教。我们接连派了几批人手出去，要擒他来审问，章老三找他不到，胖头陀也没能成功，不料小桂子没找到，却遇上了你。” 殷锦听教主语气稍顿，说道：“那是教主洪福齐天！” 洪教主向他微微点了点头，续道：“白龙使，你到得宫中，这小桂子的事，可得细细查一查，皇帝派他去五台山，到底有什么图谋。” 韦小宝已吓出了一身冷汗，忙道：“是，是。”心下十分欢喜，听教主口气，果然是派自己去皇宫了。向胖头陀瞧了一眼，心道：“你不泄漏我的秘密，算你是好人。” 洪夫人道：“那八部《四十二章经》之中，据说藏有强身保命、延年益寿的大秘密。想我们教主既然上蒙天眷，许以永享仙福，寿与天齐，这八部经书，迟早自会落入教主手中。白龙使，你再去为教主立一大功，将这八部经书取来，教主自然另有封赏。” 韦小宝站了起来，躬身说道：“属下粉身碎骨，也难报教主与夫人的大恩，自当尽忠报国，马革裹尸。”这“尽忠报国，马革裹尸”八个字，是他从说书先生那里学来的，每逢大将出征，君王勉励，大将就慷慨激昂，说了这八个字出来，他依样葫芦，用在此处，未免有点不伦不类。 洪夫人一笑，说道：“你效忠教主，那就好得很了。你去北京，要哪几个人相助，可随便挑选。”韦小宝心想：“我自求脱身，教中有人跟了去，缚手缚脚。”说道：“人多了恐怕泄漏机密，啊，是了，赤龙使座下的少女，属下想挑一两人去，让她们乔装宫女，在宫里行事较为方便。”他想到了沐剑屏，要将她带去。 无根道人道：“这些小姑娘只怕没什么用，只要教主和夫人允准，你随便挑选就是。”韦小宝道：“多谢道长。” 陆高轩道：“启禀教主、夫人，属下昨日犯了重罪，深谢教主不杀之恩……” 洪教主挥一挥手，皱眉道：“昨日之事，大家不得记在心上，今后谁也不许再提。” 陆高轩道：“是，多谢教主。属下想跟随白龙使同去，托赖教主与夫人洪福，或能为教主立些微功，稍表属下感激之诚。”洪教主点头道：“陆高轩智谋深沉，武功高强，笔下更十分来得，一篇文章做得四平八稳。很好，很好，你跟随白龙使同去便了。”陆高轩寻思：“他说'一篇文章做得四平八稳'，杜撰碣文之事，他早就心中雪亮。” 胖头陀说道：“启禀教主、夫人，属下也愿随同白龙使去北京为教主办事。”教主点了点头，见黄龙使也欲自告奋勇，说道：“人数多了，只怕泄漏行藏，就是你们两个同去。一切行止，全听白龙使的号令，不得有违。”陆高轩和胖头陀躬身说道：“属下遵命。” 洪夫人从怀中取出一条小龙，五色斑斓，是青铜、黄金、赤铜、白银、黑铁铸成，说道：“白龙使，这是教主的五龙令，暂且交你执掌。教下数万教众，见此令有如亲见教主。为了干办大事，付你生杀大权。立功之后，将令缴回。” 韦小宝应道：“是。”双手恭恭敬敬的接过，心下发愁：“我只盼一回北京，再也不去理他什么神龙教、恶虎教。拿了她这个'五龙令'，从此麻烦可多得紧了。” 洪夫人道：“白龙使与陆高轩、胖头陀三人暂留，余人退去。” 无根道人和黑龙使、黄龙使三人行礼退出。 洪教主从身边取出一个黑色瓷瓶，倒了三颗朱红色的药丸出来，说道：“三人奋勇赴北京干事，本座甚是嘉许，各赐'豹胎易筋丸'一枚。” 胖头陀和陆高轩脸上登时现出又是喜欢、又是惊惧的神色，屈右膝谢赐，接过药丸，吞入肚中。韦小宝依样葫芦，跟着照做，接过“豹胎易筋丸”，当即吞服，过不多时，便觉腹中有股热烘烘气息升将上来，缓缓随着血行，散入四肢百骸之中，说不出的舒服。 洪夫人道：“白龙使暂留，余人退去。”胖头陀和陆高轩二人退了出去。
洪夫人微笑道：“白龙使，你使什么兵刃？”韦小宝道：“属下武艺低微，没学过什么兵器，只有一把匕首防身。”洪夫人道：“给我瞧瞧。” 韦小宝从靴中拔出匕首，倒转剑柄，双手呈上。洪夫人接过一看，赞道：“好匕首！”拔下一根头发，放开了手，那根头发缓缓落上刃锋，断为两截。教主也赞了声：“好！” 韦小宝为人别的没什么长处，于钱财器物却看得极轻，眼见洪夫人对这匕首十分欢喜，心想要拍马屁，就须拍个十足，说道：“这柄匕首，属下献给夫人。常言道得好：胭脂、宝剑，都要……都要献给佳人。天下的佳人，再也没有佳过夫人的了。”他曾听说书先生说过多次，什么“宝剑赠烈士，红粉赠佳人”，毕竟这两句话太难，不易记得清楚。 洪夫人格格娇笑，说道：“好孩子，你对我们忠心，可不是空口说白话。我没什么好东西给你，怎能要孩子的物事？你这番心意，我可多谢了。来，我传你三招防身保命的招式，叫做'美人三招'，你记住了。” 她走下座来，取出一块手帕，将匕首缚在自己右足小腿外侧，笑道：“教主，劳你的大驾，演一下武功。”洪教主笑嘻嘻的缓步走近，突然左手一伸，抓住了夫人后领，将她身子提在半空。 这一下实在太快，韦小宝吃了一惊，“啊”的一声，叫了出来。 洪夫人身子微曲，纤腰轻扭，左足反踢，向教主小腹踹去。教主后缩相避，洪夫人顺势反过身来，左手搂住教主头颈，右手竟已握住了匕首，剑尖对准了教主后心，笑道：“这是第一招，叫做'贵妃回眸'，你记住了。” 这几下干净利落，韦小宝看得心旷神怡，大声喝彩，叫道：“妙极！”心想：“那日我给胖头陀抓着提起，半点法子也没有，倘若早学了这招，一剑已刺死了他。” 教主将洪夫人身子轻轻横放在地。洪夫人又将匕首插入小腿之侧，翻身卧倒。教主伸出右足，虚踏她后腰，手中假装持刀架住她头颈，笑道：“投不投降？” 韦小宝心想：“到这地步，又有什么法子？自然是大叫投降了。” 蓦见夫人的脑袋向着她自己胸口钻落，敌人架在颈中的一刀自然落空，她顺势在地下一个筋斗，在教主胯下钻过，握着匕首的右手成拳，轻轻一拳击在教主后心，只是剑尖向上。倘若当真对敌，这一剑自然插入了敌人背心。韦小宝又大叫一声：“好！” 教主待她插回匕首后，将她双手反剪，左手拿住她双手手腕，右手虚执兵器，架在她的肤光白腻头颈之中，笑道：“这一次你总逃不了啦。”夫人笑道：“看仔细了！”右足向前轻踢，白光闪动，那匕首已割断她小腿上缚住的手帕，脱了出来。她右足顺势一勾，在匕首柄上一点，那匕首陡地向她咽喉疾射过去。 韦小宝惊叫：“小心！”只见她身子向下一缩，那匕首急射教主胸口。教主放开她手，仰天一个铁板桥，扑的一声，匕首在他胸口掠过，直插入身后的竹墙，直没至柄。 洪夫人勾脚倒踢匕首，韦小宝已然吓了一大跳，待见那匕首射向她咽喉，她在间不容发之际避开，匕首又射向教主胸口，这一下势在必中，教主竟又避开。这几下险到了极处的奇变，只瞧得他目瞪口呆，心惊胆战，喉头那一个“好”字，竟叫不出来。 洪夫人笑问：“怎样？” 韦小宝伸手抓住椅背，似欲跌倒，道：“可吓死我了。” 洪教主洪安通和夫人见他脸色苍白，吓得厉害，听了他这句话，那比之一千句、一万句颂扬更是欢喜。他二人武功高强，多一个孩子的称赞亦不足喜，但他如此担心，足见对二人之忠。洪夫人明知故问：“匕首又不是向你射来，怕什么了？”韦小宝道：“我怕……怕伤了夫人和……和教主。”洪夫人笑道：“傻孩子，哪有这么容易便伤到教主了？这一招叫做'飞燕回翔'，挺不易练。教主神功盖世，就算他事先不知，这一招也伤他不着。但世上除了教主之外，能够躲得过这出其不意一击的，恐怕也没几个。” 当下将这“美人三招”的练法细细说给他听，虽说只是三招，可是全身四肢，无一处没有关联，如何拔剑，如何低头，快慢部位，劲力准头，皆须拿捏得恰到好处。那第二招卧地转身，叫做“小怜横陈”。洪夫人又道：“这'美人三招'，用的都是古代美人的名字，男人学了，未免有些不雅，好在你是孩子，也不打紧。”
