Chapter 10 The Tenth Night of the Full Moon

September 15th, dusk.The sunset is gorgeous and the sky is full of colorful clouds.Lu Xiaofeng rushed out from the back alley of Hefangzhai, striding forward along the street that was already glowing red in the setting sun! He must find a ribbon before the moon rises, and he must not stay out of the decisive battle tonight.Never! Because Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue are both his friends, because he discovered that under the full moon tonight, at the time of their decisive battle, something amazing will happen, even more amazing than this decisive battle. Of course, the ribbons that have been given away cannot be taken back, but the ribbons that have been stolen are different. The things that have been stolen can not only be taken back, but can also be stolen or even snatched back.He has decided to do whatever it takes.The only problem now is how to find Sikong Zhaixing!

This person is like the wind, maybe even more unpredictable than the wind, people who don't want to look for him, although they often meet him, and people who want to look for him, they will never find it. Luckily, Lu Xiaofeng finally had a clue. He still remembered that Sikong Zhaixing came out of a medicinal herb shop just now, and the name of that medicinal herb shop was "Old Qingyutang". Sikong Zhaixing has always been free from illness and pain, much healthier than most of the people he has harmed, so of course he will not buy medicine.Since he came from a pharmacy, this pharmacy has something to do with him.

The gold-lettered signboard of "Old Qing Yu Tang" shone brightly in the setting sun. A child was standing at the door kicking shuttlecock. When he saw Lu Xiaofeng coming, he immediately put two fingers into his mouth and whistled.In the front and back of the street, there were neighbors on the left and right, suddenly a dozen or so children ran out, looking at Lu Xiaofeng and grinning. They still recognize Lu Xiaofeng, and of course they still remember that nursery rhyme that can kill anger and laugh people to death. Lu Xiaofeng was also laughing, he thought that these children must be ready to sing "Sikong Zhaixing, is a monkey spirit" again.

Unexpectedly, the children clapped their hands and sang: "Xiaofeng is not a phoenix, but a big bug, Bedbugs have pointed heads and specialize in burrowing, Dog shit in the hole, he eats shit, If you eat a lot of shit, bedbugs will fly after eating it. " What word is this?It's just outrageous. Lu Xiaofeng was funny and angry, but he forgot that the words he made up were no better than these words, and they were also very shameful. Of course he knew who made it up, Sikong Zhaixing had obviously been here again. After finally waiting for these children to stop talking, he immediately asked, "Did that old man with white hair come again?"

The children nodded and rushed to say: "He taught us to sing this song. He said you like this song the most. If we sing well, you will definitely buy us candy." Lu Xiaofeng's stomach was almost bursting with anger, and after being scolded, he wanted to buy candy as a treat, who would do such a thing? The children blinked their eyes and asked again: "Are we singing well?" Lu Xiaofeng just nodded and said: "Okay, great." The children asked, "Do you want to buy candy for us?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed, smiled wryly, "I'll buy it, of course."

Lu Xiaofeng is often willing to do things that no one is willing to do, how can he disappoint these innocent children?Sure enough, he immediately went to buy candy, and bought a lot of candy. Seeing the children clapping and cheering, he felt sweeter in his heart, sweeter than eating three hundred and eighty catties of candy. The children tugged at the hem of his clothes and cheered, "The old man is right. Uncle, you are indeed a good man." Lu Xiaofeng was very surprised, and said: "He actually said that I am a good person?" The children said: "He said you were very good when you were young."

Lu Xiaofeng was even more surprised, and said: "How did he know if I was good or not when I was young?" The children said: "He watched you grow up and even hugged you to pee, of course he knows." Lu Xiaofeng's teeth itch with hatred, he just wanted to tie that monkey spirit up with a rope and beat him hard with a moso bamboo board. The children said: "The old man was still here just now, uncle, if you had come earlier, you might have met him." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Where are his people now?" The children said: "It's flying again, flying so high, uncle, can you fly as high as him?"

Lu Xiaofeng patted the lapel of his clothes, and said: "I don't know, you better look at me now to see who is flying high." Since Sikong Zhaixing is no longer here, he is also preparing to fly. Unexpectedly, the children rushed to say again: "Uncle, go slowly, there is something we forgot to tell you." "What's up?" "The old man left a small bag here. If you invite us to eat candy, he will ask us to give this small bag to you. If you don't invite us, he will tell us to throw this small bag into the gutter." A child who ran the fastest had already run back to the herbal medicine store and came out with a small bundle, Lu Xiaofeng never dreamed that there were actually two ribbons wrapped in the bundle.

The ribbon seemed to have turned red in the setting sun, and besides the ribbon, there was a note: "Steal one from you, give you two back, I'm a monkey spirit, you're a bedbug, you spank my ass, I invite you to eat shit." Lu Xiaofeng laughed and laughed loudly: "Sure enough, this kid never wants to suffer." Since he had already stolen the ribbon, why did he give it back?And where did the ribbon come from? Lu Xiaofeng didn't even think about these problems, seeing the two ribbons that were nowhere to be found, unexpectedly got into his hands without any effort, he was happier than a child seeing Tang: "Look, is it true?" Who can fly high?"

He laughed, turned three somersaults in the air, and flew up to the roof, only to hear the children clapping and cheering below: "You are the one who flew higher, higher than that old man!" The children have sharp eyes and quick mouths, and of course what they say will never be false.Lu Xiaofeng felt happier in his heart, only felt that his body was light and light, as if he had grown a pair of wings, he could almost fly into the moon. Although the moon has not yet risen, the setting sun is no longer visible. The sun was setting and the night was approaching. Lu Xiaofeng slipped back to Hefangzhai from the back alley again. The lights in the windows were already on, the lights were soft and quiet. The windows were open, and one could see Sun Xiuqing and Ouyang Qing.

They are all very beautiful women, they look even more beautiful under the lights, but there is an indescribable sadness on their faces, even the lights seem to have become very desolate, could it be that Ximen Chuuxue has left? Of course he was gone, and the only lamp in the house was with them.The door was also ajar, Lu Xiaofeng unexpectedly forgot to knock on the door, and his heart was heavy, when did Ximen Chuuxue leave? Lu Xiaofeng wanted to ask, but he didn't. He didn't dare to ask, and couldn't bear to ask.There were three empty glasses and a jug of wine on the table. He poured himself a glass, drank it slowly, poured another glass, and drank it quickly. Sun Xiuqing suddenly said, "He's gone." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know." Sun Xiuqing said: "He said he should leave earlier, go out of the city first, and then come in from outside the city, so that others will think that he is not in the capital all the time!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I understand." Sun Xiuqing said: "He hopes you will go too quickly, because he...he has no other friends." Lu Xiaofeng was speechless, and Sun Xiuqing didn't say anything else, she turned her head and stared at the night outside the window.The night is getting darker, a full moon has slowly risen, and the wind is gradually cooling down. I don't know how long it took before Sun Xiuqing said softly: "Today's sunset is beautiful, much more beautiful than usual, but it will disappear soon." She closed her eyes, tears had already fallen, and it took a long time before she could see it again. Then he said: "Why are beautiful things always so short-lived? Why are you always unwilling to stay in the world for a while?" She is asking the sky?Still asking Lu Xiaofeng?Lu Xiaofeng really didn't know how to answer, there was no one who could answer this question. He drank another glass of wine before forced a smile and said, "I'm leaving too, I will definitely bring him back!" He didn't dare to say anything else, and he didn't dare to see Ouyang Qing!He originally planned to give the extra ribbon to Ouyang Qing, so that she could also watch the once-in-a-century decisive battle. But now he didn't even mention it.He knew that Ouyang Qing would definitely stay with Sun Xiuqing, he understood Sun Xiuqing's mood, it was definitely not anxiety, fear, sadness... these words could describe it.Now his only hope is to bring Ximen Chuuxue back. When he was about to go out, Ouyang Qing grabbed his hand suddenly. When he turned his head, he saw her eyes with tears in them. Even an idiot should be able to see her care and concern. affection.Of course Lu Xiaofeng could see it, but he couldn't believe it—the Ouyang Qing who was looking at him now was really the same cold Ouyang Qing just now! Why did she suddenly change?It was only now that Lu Xiaofeng realized that his understanding of women was really pitiful. Fortunately, he finally knew that if a woman really hated a man, she would never look at him like this, let alone hold his hand. Her hands were cold, but she held them firmly.Because she didn't understand until now how painful and sad it is for a woman to lose the man she loves. The two of them stared at each other like this. After a long time, Ouyang Qing asked gently: "Are you coming back too?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I will definitely come back!" Ouyang Qing said: "Definitely?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Definitely!" Ouyang Qing lowered her head, finally let go of his hand slowly, and said, "I'll wait for you." I'm waiting for you.If a man knows that there is a woman waiting for him, that feeling cannot be replaced by anything. I'm waiting for you.What a gentle and wonderful three words.Lu Xiaofeng seemed to be drunk, and what he was drunk was not wine, but her affection that was stronger than wine. The moon is in the sky.Lu Xiaofeng had another problem - he had to give away the extra ribbon on his body, but he didn't know who to give it to.Of all those worthy of the ribbon, he could not see a single one. There are quite a few people on the street, and there are even more people in restaurants and teahouses. There are all kinds of people from all walks of life, and they gather in twos and threes to discuss privately. Lu Xiaofeng didn't need to listen to what they said, but he knew that they must be waiting for the news of the battle tonight, and many of them must have already placed bets on Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng. The influence of this battle has not only caused a sensation in the martial arts world, but has also penetrated into the lower classes of the capital. Throughout the ages, there has never been a decisive battle between martial arts masters like this. Lu Xiaofeng thought it was very funny, and he believed that if Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng knew about it, they would also find it very funny. At this moment, he saw a person coming out of a teahouse opposite.This man is tall, very thin, well-dressed, with an extremely refined manner, with mottled temples and a pale face, wearing a royal blue robe of very elegant material and color, he is actually "Old Du from the South of the City" Du Tongxuan. Although this place is no longer Li Yanbei's territory, it is still opposed to Du Tongxuan. How could he suddenly appear here again?And he didn't even bring a bodyguard with him. Lu Xiaofeng rushed over suddenly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Xueshi Du, hello!" Du Tongxuan was startled, turned around, saw Lu Xiaofeng, forced a smile, and said: "Toefl TOEFL!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Where's your bodyguard?" Of course he was talking about the mysterious and strange man in black who came and went suddenly. Du Tongxuan said: "He's gone!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why are you leaving?" Du Tongxuan said: "The small pond can't keep big fish, of course he has to leave!" Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "You dare to break into Li Yanbei's territory by yourself, I admire you!" Du Tongxuan smiled, and said lightly: "It seems that this place is no longer Boss Li's territory." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Although he is dead, he still has a group of brothers!" Du Tongxuan said: "When a person dies, even his wife can remarry, let alone a brother!" Hearing the news of Li Yanbei's death, he didn't even show any surprise on his face. Lu Xiaofeng also smiled, and said: "It seems that you not only know that Boss Li is dead, but also that his brothers have all joined the Baiyun Temple!" Du Tongxuan was expressionless, and said coldly: "In our line of business, if you don't have good news, you will die very quickly." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Could it be that Gu Qingfeng is your friend?" Du Tongxuan said: "Although they are not friends, they can't be regarded as enemies!" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It's no wonder you came here alone." Du Tongxuan said: "If you are free, you can go to the south of the city at any time, no matter how many people go!" Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes again, and said, "Since you have bet heavily on Ye Gucheng, you definitely want to watch this battle tonight!" Du Tongxuan didn't deny it, nor did he admit it. Lu Xiaofeng said: "I have an extra ribbon here, if you are interested, I can give it to you!" Du Tongxuan was silent, as if thinking about it, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Boss Bu Jubu is also in this teahouse." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?" Du Tongxuan said: "Why don't you give him the extra ribbon?" Lu Xiaofeng was stunned. Others tried every means to get this ribbon, and now he was willing to give it away for nothing, but Du Tongxuan didn't want it. Du Tongxuan arched his hands and said: "If you have no other advice, I will leave. It is a pleasure to meet you!" He actually walked away as soon as he said it, without nostalgia. Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a long time, then raised his head, only to find that Bu Ju had also come out of the teahouse, glanced at him, then at the ribbon on his shoulder, suddenly smiled and said: "Your Excellency's ribbons are not sold out yet." He smiled strangely, and there seemed to be an indescribable irony in his smile. Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't sell this ribbon, but I can give it away. If you still want it, I can give it to you too!" Bu Ju looked at him, smiled even more strangely, and said, "It's a pity that I don't like to kowtow." Lu Xiaofeng said: "There is no need to kowtow." Bu Ju said: "Really?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Of course it is true." Bu Ju said: "Really, I don't want it either." He suddenly darkened his face and walked away without even looking at Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng was stunned again, this person would not hesitate to exchange three pieces of jade for a ribbon in the morning, but now he doesn't even want to give it away for nothing. Lu Xiaofeng really couldn't figure out what was going on, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore, the full moon had already risen, he must rush into the Forbidden City as soon as possible, he must not be late. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is in the Gate of Supreme Harmony, and the Jinshuiyudai River outside the Gate of Supreme Harmony looks like a jade belt of Jinshui in the moonlight. Lu Xiaofeng crossed Tianjie under the moonlight, entered Donghua Gate, Longzong Gate, turned into the Meridian Gate under the wind gate of Dragon Tower, and finally arrived at the forbidden place within the forbidden place, the city within the city. The patrol guards along the way, three steps a post, five steps a sentry, without this color-changing ribbon, no matter who wants to break in, it will be very difficult, even if you can get here, you can't even think about taking another step. Although no one can be seen around this place, there may be master guards of Ouchi lurking everywhere in the darkness. There are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in Da Nei, some are specially hired martial arts masters, some are young heroes with great ambitions, and some are gangsters who are temporarily hiding here to avoid their enemies and the limelight. No one dares to underestimate their strength. Under the moonlight, there is only one person sitting cross-legged under the Yudai Bridge on the Yudai River, and the top of his head is also shining! "Honest monk." Lu Xiaofeng rushed over immediately, and said with a smile, "It's really early for the monk to come." The honest monk was eating steamed buns, and when he saw Lu Xiaofeng, he quickly hid the steamed buns, mumbled a murmur, and only hoped that Lu Xiaofeng didn't see his steamed buns. But Lu Xiaofeng smiled again: "I saw something in your hand, and I remembered something." The honest monk asked, "What's the matter?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I remembered that I forgot to eat dinner again." The honest monk rolled his eyes and said, "Are you trying to cheat the monk's steamed buns again?" Lu Xiaofeng stared and said: "When have I ever lied to you? Do you still feel that you have suffered a disadvantage by exchanging two ribbons for a steamed bun?" The honest monk rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled, and said, "You don't lie, you still have three and a half steamed buns on your body, do you want to change them?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Think!" The honest monk said, "What do you want to exchange?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I have all my belongings, I will give you whatever you want." The honest monk looked him up and down, smiled wryly, and said, "It seems that your property is no more than that of the monk." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I have at least two more beards and thousands of hairs than the monk." The honest monk said: "The monk doesn't even want your hair or beard. If the monk promises one thing, he will give you half of the bun." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's the matter?" The honest monk said: "As long as you pretend not to recognize the monk next time you see him, the world will be peaceful." Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly, patted his shoulder, and sat down beside him, still laughing non-stop. The honest monk asked, "Do you agree or not?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No!" The honest monk said, "You don't want to eat steamed buns anymore?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Think." The honest monk said, "Then why don't you agree?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I already have steamed buns." The honest monk was startled, and said, "Where did your steamed buns come from?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's from Sikong Zhaixing!" The honest monk was startled again, and said, "Sikong Zhaixing?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "If I hadn't learned a few tricks from him, how could I have stolen the monk's steamed buns? So the steamed buns came from him of course!" The honest monk was speechless, and he already noticed that one of the steamed buns on his body was missing. The steamed bun was already in Lu Xiaofeng's hands, as if by a magic trick, it suddenly appeared. The honest monk sighed, and murmured: "This man is hard to learn, but he wants to learn to be a thief." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "At least the thief won't go hungry." He stuffed half a steamed bun into his mouth first, and then asked, "What are you sitting here waiting for?" The honest monk said with a straight face, "Wait until the emperor falls asleep." Lu Xiaofeng said: "We can't go in now?" The honest monk said: "I can't." Lu Xiaofeng said: "When are we going to wait?" The honest monk said: "You will know when the time comes!" Lu Xiaofeng stood up, looked around, and said, "Have Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng come?" The honest monk said, "I don't know." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Where are the others?" The honest monk said, "I don't know." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You didn't even see a single person?" The honest monk said: "I only saw one and a half people." Lu Xiaofeng said: "One and a half people?" The honest monk said: "One is Yin Xian, and he wants me to wait here!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who is half a person?" The honest monk said: "It's you, you can only be regarded as half a person at most." Lu Xiaofeng laughed again, and saw a figure suddenly appearing in the darkness, his figure was like flying, he was using the inner family's authentic "eight-step catching cicadas" light kung fu, several ups and downs in succession, he was in front of him, with blue cloth socks and white hair , it is the famous Mu Taoist of Wudang. Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "The monk is really honest, he didn't swallow the Daoist stuff." The honest monk said: "The monk can only swallow steamed buns, but the steamed buns are often stolen!" Taoist Mu glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, frowned deliberately, and said, "What kind of person is so worthless, even stealing the monk's steamed buns." Lu Xiaofeng said: "As long as there is a chance, I will also steal things from Taoist priests!" Taoist Mu also laughed, and said: "At least this person is quite honest, and he is willing to not call himself out." At this moment, another figure appeared in the darkness. Lu Xiaofeng only took one look, then frowned, and said, "Who did you give the other ribbon to?" The honest monk said: "Give it to Yan Renying." Taoist Mu immediately said: "This person is not Yan Renying." The honest monk said: "It's not Tang Tianzong, let alone Sima Ziyi." This person's posture is very strange, the double robe flutters, as if blown by the wind, he is reluctant to use even a little strength. Yan Renying, Tang Tianzong, and Sima Ziyi didn't have such a high level of lightness kung fu. In fact, there are people with such a high level of lightness kung fu in the world, including Lu Xiaofeng, at most there are only three or five. The honest monk asked, "Who is this person?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "He is not human, not even half human, he is completely a monkey spirit." This sentence has not been finished yet, the figure in the darkness suddenly rushed towards him like a flag flower rocket, his clothes flapped in the wind, making noise, as if he was going to bump his head into Lu Xiaofeng's body, just as he rushed in front of Lu Xiaofeng, he suddenly flipped over again Three somersaults, falling lightly.With gray hair all over his head, he bent over and coughed non-stop. Lu Xiaofeng said with a straight face, "Do you know who this monkey spirit is?" Taoist Mu smiled and said: "Sikong Zhaixing is a monkey spirit, I have heard it this afternoon." Sikong Zhaixing sighed, and said: "It seems that my disguise technique has become useless!" Mu Daoren said: "You shouldn't perform this kind of lightness kung fu, besides Sikong Zhaixing, who else has such a high level of lightness kung fu?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Me!" Sikong Zhaixing said with a smile: "Eat a lot of shit, and bedbugs will fly after eating it." Lu Xiaofeng deliberately pretended not to hear, stared at the ribbons on his body, and said: "You stole one from me and gave me back two." Sikong Zhaixing said: "I've always been a good friend, knowing that you forgot to leave one for yourself, so I specially found two for you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Where did you find it?" Sikong Zhaixing said: "Don't forget that I am the king of stealing kings!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Could it be that you stole Sima Ziyi and Tang Tianzong?" Sikong Zhaixing smiled, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the front, saying: "Look at who is coming in front?" Two more figures flew over from a distance, and the one on the left shrugged his shoulders when he stood up vertically, as if he was ready to draw a hidden weapon at any time, using the Tang family's unique light kung fu technique.The one on the right looked very clumsy, as if he had practiced hard skills for too long, if Tang Tianzong hadn't waited for him specially, he would have fallen far behind. The honest monk said: "The young master of the Tang family is indeed here!" Mu Taoist said: "Who is the other person?" The honest monk said: "It's Bu Ju." It was indeed Bu Ju who came, and when he saw Lu Xiaofeng, he showed that sarcasm smile again, as if he was demonstrating to Lu Xiaofeng - if you don't give me a ribbon, I will still coming. There is also a ribbon on his body, the color is strange, in the moonlight, it is light purple, then silver gray, no doubt it is also made of color-changing silk, there are only six of these ribbons, Lu Xiaofeng has two, honest monk , Mu Taoist, and Sikong Zhaixing each have one, plus two of them, it has become seven. How did six ribbons become seven?Where did the extra line come from? Bu Ju triumphantly walked up to the bridge, Tang Tianzong's face was ashen, he didn't even look at Lu Xiaofeng out of the corner of his eyes. Lu Xiaofeng knew that even if he asked them, they would not say anything, not to mention that he had no time to ask.From the gate of Supreme Harmony, a figure had sprung out, with a long sword slanted behind his back, dressed in the uniform of a guard with a sword in front of the imperial court, it seemed a little too small for him, he had obviously gained weight recently, but his body style was still the same. Very nimble and light, he is the third master Yin Xian Yin among the masters. His face was also livid, and he said calmly: "I know that you are all top figures in the martial arts world, but do you know where this is? This is not a teahouse. You all want to chat and joke, but you have come to the wrong place. " As soon as his people came, they started to talk in an official tone, and everyone had to listen. They had a lot to do with this matter, so they would inevitably be nervous and irritable.Besides, this is indeed not a place for chatting and joking. Yin Xian's face finally eased, looked at the six people, and said: "Now that you are all here, please go in. After passing the big platform, the big hall inside is the Hall of Supreme Harmony." Mu Daoren said: "Is it the Golden Luang Palace?" Yin Xian nodded and said, "The highest place in the imperial city is the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Since the two masters must fight on the top of the Forbidden City, you might as well go up and wait." He looked at Bu Ju, then at one of the white-haired old men who couldn't even straighten his waist, and said coldly: "Since you dare to come, of course you are good at all lightness kung fu, but I still want to remind you that there is no It’s not easy to go up like the roofs of ordinary houses, and the roof is covered with slippery glazed tiles, you have to be careful with your feet, if you fall from the top, everyone’s mistakes will be serious.” Bu Ju's face was very heavy, he couldn't laugh anymore, Sikong Zaixing seemed to be secretly sighing, and Lu Xiaofeng hadn't even had a chance to speak up until now. Now he was about to speak, Yin Xian suddenly said: "Don't go up for now, there is someone waiting for you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who?" Yin Xian said: "If you want to see him, just follow me." With a wave of his arms, he plucked the green onions from the dry ground, and slanted his body out, as if intending to show off his lightness skills in front of these people. His lightness kung fu is indeed not weak, and he has gone three or four feet away in a flash.Lu Xiaofeng followed him from a distance, not wanting to suppress his limelight, Yin Xian was even more determined to show off, turned around again, and unexpectedly displayed the supreme lightness kung fu of Swallow Flying Cloud. Unexpectedly, as soon as he showed his figure, he suddenly heard a "whoosh", a person passed him lightly, and passed him without any effort, but it was the white-haired old man who couldn't even straighten his waist. As soon as he entered the Supreme Harmony Gate, Lu Xiaofeng's mood changed, not only could he no longer laugh, he even breathed a little lighter.The majesty of heaven is hard to offend, and the majesty of the nine-fold emperor is something that martial arts heroes like them dare not lightly offend. Even Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare.The two rows of grade platforms under the Danchi seem to be nothing more than dozens of ordinary stones, but when thinking of the grand court celebration, the civil and military officials lined up on the left and right, standing in silence, waiting for the emperor to call, Lu Xiaofeng I can't help feeling that the blood in my body is heating up. The world's geniuses, heroes, and heroes racked their brains and painstaking efforts, and some even risked their lives, just to think of standing on the stage of this level. The Hall of Supreme Harmony after Danchi is even more majestic. Looking up, the gleaming ridge of the hall seems to stand in the clouds.Next to the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the Hall of Preserving Harmony.Next to the Palace of Preserving Harmony, on the west side of the steps outside the Qianqing Gate, there are three bungalows on the north wall. There were four shocking big characters written: "Whoever enters will be cut off!" Yin Xian actually brought Lu Xiaofeng here, and stopped at this door, saying: "Someone is waiting for you inside, you go in!" Lu Xiaofeng immediately shook his head, smiled wryly, "I can still read, and I don't want to be beheaded." Yin Xian also smiled, and said: "I told you to go in, it's a matter of great importance, and I will take care of it, so what are you afraid of?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at him, it seemed that he didn't look like he wanted to harm anyone, but in this kind of cabinet that was in charge of the world's major affairs, Lu Xiaofeng had to be very cautious, and would rather stand outside. Yin Xian smiled again and said, "Can't you think of who is waiting for you inside?" Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "Who is it?" Yin Xian said, "Ximen Chuuxue." Lu Xiaofeng was startled, and said, "How did he get in?" Yin Xian looked around, lowered his voice, and said: "We have also bet on him, of course we have to treat him better, let him rest well first, and then have the energy to catch that move." "Flying Immortal"." Lu Xiaofeng also laughed. Yin Xian said again: "Although this place is a place of high secrecy, the emperor has gone to bed now, and it is still early before the morning court. Except for us master guards, no one else will come here!" He smiled and patted He patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder, and said: "So you just go in with confidence, if you have any tricks to deal with Ye Gucheng, you might as well teach him two hands, we are all on his side anyway!" Although he was very official just now, he seemed to be a different person now, he even smiled kindly, and even opened the door for Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng also patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said softly: "Whenever you have time to go outside, I'll treat you to a drink." The room is not big and the furnishings are simple, but it naturally has a solemn and murderous air. The life and death of thousands of people in the world can be decided by a simple sentence here. Whoever walks into this room for the first time is undoubtedly the most exciting time in his life.Lu Xiaofeng walked in quietly, her heart beating much faster than usual. Ximen Chuuxue was standing quietly under the small window with his hands behind his back, dressed in white clothes like snow, of course he heard someone push the door open, but he didn't turn his head, as if he already knew that it must be Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak either. The door was closed, the lights were like beans, and the room was gloomy and damp. He only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he really wanted to drink a glass of wine. Of course there was no wine in this place, but he didn't know how many people's blood and tears were there. Lu Xiaofeng sighed in his heart, and finally realized that he was not the person with the most troubles in the world, those people who came to this room every day had far more troubles than him. Ximen Chuuxue still didn't look back, but suddenly said: "Have you been to my place again?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I just went there." Ximen Chuixue said: "Have you met her?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Ximen Chuuxue said: "She... can she still hold on?" Lu Xiaofeng forced a smile, and said: "You should also know that she is not a weak woman, the reputation of Sanying Sixiu in the Jianghu is not necessarily worse than us!" Although he was smiling, his heart sank.The decisive battle is imminent, and the moment to decide his life and death is just around the corner, but this man still misses his wife in his heart, and even put down his sword! Lu Xiaofeng could hardly believe that this person was the former Ximen Chuuxue, but he couldn't help but feel a little comforted, because Ximen Chuuxue had become a flesh and blood person after all. Ximen Chuuxue suddenly turned around, looked at him, and asked, "Are we friends?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes!" Ximen Chuixue said: "If I die, will you take care of her for me?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No." Ximen Chuuxue's face turned even paler, and he changed color: "You don't want to?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't want to, just because you are not like my friend now, my friends are all men, they will never seek death before seeking life." Ximen Chuixue said, "I didn't ask for death." Lu Xiaofeng sneered and said: "But all you think about now is death, why don't you think about your glorious achievements in the past, why don't you think about ways to defeat Ye Gucheng?" Ximen Chuuxue stared at him, and after a long time, he lowered his head and stared at the sword on the table, and he suddenly pulled out his sword. His way of drawing the sword is still so swift and graceful, there is absolutely no second person in the world who can match it. Although Sima Ziyi's movement of drawing his sword was light and ingenious, compared to him, it was like a butcher drawing a knife from a dead pig. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly asked, "Am I your friend?" Ximen Chuuxue hesitated, and finally nodded. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you believe what I said?" Ximen Chuuxue nodded again. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then let me tell you, I am almost sure of catching blows from all the swordsmen in the world, except for one." He stared into Ximen Chuuxue's eyes, and slowly continued: "This person is you!" Ximen Chuuxue stared at the sword in his hand, a strange blush suddenly appeared on his pale face. The lights seem to have suddenly brightened a bit, and the brilliance on the sword has also become brighter. Lu Xiaofeng immediately felt a formidable sword energy approaching him, and he knew that Ximen Chuuxue had regained his confidence. For a depressed person, a word of encouragement from a friend is more useful than all the medicines in the world. A smile appeared in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, without saying anything, he turned around and walked out gently. The moon is as bright as water outside the door! September 15th, night. The moon is as bright as water. Lu Xiaofeng walked out from the black lacquered door of "death to intruders", walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony along the shadow under the north wall, and was about to find a suitable place to go up, when he suddenly found that under the shadow of the main hall, there was a The individual stood there motionless, appearing indescribably lonely and decadent. He didn't need to take a second look to know that this person was Bu Ju. He had already seen that Bu Ju's lightness kung fu was not very high, but he had to have top-notch lightness kung fu to get to the golden temple that soars into the clouds. He still hasn't forgotten the smile that Bu Ju gave him just now, he wanted to smile like that to Bu Ju in the past, but when he walked over, there was only sympathy and comfort on his face. It's just that sympathy can sometimes hurt as much as sarcasm. Bu Ju glanced at him, then suddenly turned his head. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said: "There used to be a sparrow that always thought it was great because it could fly into the sky. When it saw a tiger, it would compare it with the tiger to see who could fly higher. Do you know what a tiger would do?" Bu Ju shook his head. He was already planning to leave, but he couldn't figure out why Lu Xiaofeng would tell the story, so he couldn't help but want to listen to it.Curiosity is inherent in everyone. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Of course a tiger can't fly, it just swallowed the sparrow with one breath." He smiled and said: "Since that time, no sparrow has ever tried to compete with a tiger, because the sparrow has also understood that those who can fly high are not necessarily great heroes." Bu Ju also smiled, his smile was full of gratitude, and his heart was full of warmth. He suddenly found that Lu Xiaofeng was not the kind of bastard he had imagined before. Lu Xiaofeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Have you ever seen a tiger climb a rope?" Bu Ju said: "No." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Me neither, but I want to see." Bu Ju said, "Have you ever seen a tiger with a rope on its body?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No." Bu Ju said: "Then you have seen it now." He had already prepared a long rope on his body, but he never had the courage to take it out. He would rather die than lose face. Lu Xiaofeng took the rope with a smile, raised his head and exhaled softly, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid even sparrows may not be able to fly up here." 从下面看上去,太和殿的飞檐,就像是个钩子,连月亮都可以钩住。 这么高的地方,天下绝没有任何人能一掠而上,陆小凤也不能。 可是他有法子。 卜巨从下面看着他,只见他忽而如壁虎游墙,忽而如灵猿跃枝,接连几个起落后就已看不见了。 别人都是从前面上去的,他并没有看见,因为那时候他已一个人偷偷的溜到后面来,但他却相信他们的轻功绝对比不上陆小凤。 因为他已将陆小凤当做自己的朋友。 飞檐上已有长索垂下,他心里觉得更温暖!——能交到陆小凤这种朋友,实在真不错。 大殿顶上铺满了黄金般的琉璃瓦,在月下看来,就像是一片黄金世界。 陆小凤将长索系上飞檐,转过头,忽然怔住了! 这上面本来应该只有五个人,可是他一眼看过去,就已看见十三四个,每个人身上都有条变色的缎带,其中还不包括他所知道的那五个人,老实和尚还在殿脊另一边。 他并没有看清这些人的脸,高耸的殿脊后,已有个人窜过来,脸色苍白,面带冷笑,正是大内四高手中的丁四爷丁敖。 陆小凤忍不住问道:“这是怎么回事?” 丁敖冷笑道:“我正想问你。” 陆小凤道:“问我?” 丁敖道:“我们交给你几条缎带?” 陆小凤道:“六条。” 丁敖道:“现在来的人却已有二十一个,他们这些缎带是从哪里来的?” 陆小凤叹了口气,苦笑道:“我也正想问你。” 殿脊上又有两个人走过来。殷羡走在前面,后面的是“潇湘剑客”魏子云。 殷羡走得很快,显得很紧张,魏子云却是气度安稳,步履从容。 在这种陡如急坡,滑如坚冰的琉璃瓦上,要慢慢地走远比奔跑纵跳困难,在这种情况下,还能保持从容镇定更不容易。 陆小凤已看出这位号称大内第一高手的“潇湘剑客”,绝不是空有虚名的人,他的武功和定力,都绝不在任何一位武林名家之下。 殷羡冲过来,沉声道:“你们问来问去,问出了什么没有?” 陆小凤苦笑着摇摇头。 魏子云道:“这种事本来不是三言两语就能问得出来的,现在也不是追根究底的时候。” 殷羡道:“现在我们应该怎么办?” 魏子云道:“加强戒备,以防有变。” 他沉吟着,又道:“你传话下去,把这地方的守卫暗卡全都增加一倍,不许任何人随意走动。” 殷羡道:“是。” 魏子云道:“老四去调集人手,必要时我们不妨将乾清门侍卫和里面轮休的人也调出来,从现在起,无论谁都只许走出去,不许进来。” 丁敖道:“是。” 他们显然已经练成了一种特别的身法,上下大殿,身子一翻,就没入飞檐后。 魏子云这才抬起头,对陆小凤笑了笑,道:“我们四面去看看如何?” 陆小凤道:“好极了。” 这地方并不是一眼就能看得完的,看来也不似是间屋顶,却有点像是片广场,中间有屋脊隆起,又像是片山坡。 这边的人一共有十三个,大多数都是单独一个人站在那里,静候决战开始,绝不跟别的人交谈。 他们身上都没有带兵刃,帽子都压得很低,有的脸上仿佛戴着极精巧的人皮面具,显然都不愿被人认出他们的本来面目。 魏子云和陆小凤从他们面前走过去,他们也好像没有看见。 这些人是什么来历?行踪为什么如此诡秘? 魏子云还是走得很慢,说话的声音也很低,缓缓道:“你能不能看出他们的身份来历?” Lu Xiaofeng shook his head. 魏子云道:“以我看,这些人很可能都是黑道上的朋友。” Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?" 魏子云道:“这两天京城里黑道朋友也到了不少,据说其中有几位是早已金盆洗手的前辈豪杰,也有几位是身背重案,又有极厉害仇家的隐名高手,都久已不曾在江湖中走动。” 陆小凤道:“这就难怪他们不愿以真面目示人了。” 魏子云道:“这些人行踪秘密,来意却不恶,也许只不过因为静极思动,想来看当代两位名剑客的身手风采。” 陆小凤叹了口气,道:“但愿如此。” 魏子云道:“令我想不通的是,他们身上怎么也会有这种缎带?” 陆小凤沉吟着,道:“除了皇宫大内外,别的地方绝没有这种缎带?” 魏子云道:“绝没有。” 他又解释着道:“这种变色缎还是大行皇帝在世时,从波斯进贡来的,本就不多,近年来已只剩下一两匹,连宫里的姑娘都很珍惜。” 陆小凤不说话了,他忽然想起了司空摘星。 魏子云道:“我倒也知道有位'偷王之王'已到了京城,而且已到了这里。” 陆小凤忍不住道:“你认为缎带是他盗出去的?” 魏子云笑了笑,道:“这件事我们昨天早上才决定,在我们决定之前,这种缎带在他眼中看来,绝不会有什么价值,他当然不会冒险来偷盗。” 陆小凤道:“可是昨天晚上……” 魏子云淡淡道:“昨天晚上我们四个人都在里面,通宵未睡,轮流当值,就算有只苍蝇飞进来,我们也不会让他再飞出去。” 他声音里充满自信,陆小凤松了口气,道:“所以你并没有怀疑他。” 魏子云道:“没有。” 陆小凤道:“你怀疑的是谁?” 魏子云声音压得更低,道:“能将这缎带盗出去的,只有四个人。” 陆小凤道:“四个人?” 魏子云道:“就是我们兄弟四个人。” 陆小凤轻轻吐出口气,这句话本来是他想说的,想不到魏子云自己反而说了出来,看来这位“潇湘剑客”不但思虑周密,而且耿直公正。 魏子云道:“其实你也该想到,据说外面已有人肯出五万两银子买一条缎带,黑道上的朋友钱财来得容易,出价可能更高。” 陆小凤叹道:“人为财死,财帛动人心,为了钱财,有些人的确是什么事都能做得出的。” 魏子云也叹了口气,道:“殷羡交游广阔,挥金如土,丁敖正当少年,难免风流,屠老二虽是比较稳重,可是胸怀大志,早已想在江湖中独创一派,自立宗主,所以一直都暗中跟他以前的朋友保持联络,这些都是很花钱的事,只凭一份六等侍卫的俸禄,是养不活他们的。” 他抬起头,凝视着陆小凤,又道:“但他们都是我的好兄弟,若没有真凭实据,我心里纵然有所怀疑,也不能说出来,免得伤了兄弟间的和气。” 陆小凤道:“难道你想要我替你找出真凭实据来?” 魏子云又笑了笑,道:“这件事你也难脱关系,若能查出真相,岂非大家都有好处?” Lu Xiaofeng could only smile wryly. 他忽然发现自己的确没有看错这个人,这人有时的确是条老狐狸。 大殿屋脊的另一边,人反而比较少些,除了老实和尚、司空摘星、木道人、唐天纵和刚上来的卜巨外,就只是多了严人英和古松居士两个人。 司马紫衣居然没有来,古松居士解释道:“司马庄主有事急着赶回江南,却将缎带让给了我。” 陆小凤了解司马紫衣的心情,以他的为人,当然非回去不可。 他也无颜再见陆小凤。 一些有了一派宗主身份的武林前辈,爱惜羽毛,自尊自重,当然绝不会去买来历不明的缎带,别人也不会拿去卖给他们。 所以这些人反而没有露面。 魏子云道:“我已将禁城的四门全都封锁,从现在起,绝不会再有人进来。” 陆小凤道:“叶孤城呢?” 魏子云道:“白云城主早已到了。” 陆小凤道:“他人在哪里?” 魏子云道:“他们约定在子时交手,我已将他安排在隆宗门外户部朝房里歇下,不过,看来他好像……” 陆小凤道:“好像怎样?” 魏子云叹道:“他的脸色很不好,有人说他重伤未愈,好像并不是谣传。” 他没有接着说下去,忽又笑了笑,道:“那几位朋友好像都在等你过去,你只管请便。” 那边的确有好几双眼睛都在看着陆小凤——司空摘星的眼睛在笑,老实和尚的眼睛在生气,卜巨和严人英的眼睛里充满感激。 陆小凤走过去拍了拍严人英的肩,微笑道:“你怎么来迟了?” 严人英道:“我……我本来不敢来的。” 陆小凤道:“不敢?为什么不敢?” 严人英的脸仿佛有些发红,苦笑道:“若不是老实大师助了我一臂之力,我就算来了,很可能也只有在下面站着。” 陆小凤笑道:“老实大师!我倒还是第一次听见有人这样称呼他。” 他笑嘻嘻的看着老实和尚,好像又想过去找这和尚的麻烦。 谁知他刚走了两步,突然闪电出手,抓住了司空摘星的手腕。 司空摘星吓了一大跳,失声道:“缎带我已还给了你,你还找我麻烦干什么?” 陆小凤沉着脸,冷冷道:“我就是要问你,你这两条缎带从哪里偷来的?” 司空摘星道:“我一定要告诉你?” 陆小凤道:“你若不说,我就要你这只手永远再也休想偷人家的东西。” 他的手在用力,竟已将司空摘星的手捏得格格作响。 司空摘星叹了口气,苦笑道:“其实我就算说出来,你也未必会相信。” Lu Xiaofeng said: "Tell me about it!" 司空摘星道:“这两条缎带我倒真不是偷来的,是别人买来送给我的,因为他欠我的情。” Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who is this person?" 司空摘星道:“人家花了好几万两银子买东西送给我,只要我替他保守秘密,我就算对你很够朋友,至少也不能这么快就出卖他呀!” 陆小凤道:“你要等到什么时候才能出卖他?” 司空摘星道:“最少也得等两三天。” 两三天之后,这件事也许已事过境迁,再说出来也没有用了。 陆小凤目光闪动,道:“那个人是不是只要你替他保守两三天的秘密?” 司空摘星虽没有承认,也没有否认。 陆小凤道:“现在你一定不说?” 司空摘星淡淡道:“你就算捏碎我这只手也没关系,我反正已准备改行。” 陆小凤也知道他偷东西的时候虽然常常六亲不认,却绝不是个会出卖朋友的人,他忽然笑了笑,道:“其实你不说,我也知道。” 司空摘星笑道:“你知道?你为什么不说给我听听。” 陆小凤道:“附耳过来。” 他果然在司空摘星耳边轻轻的说了一个人的名字。 司空摘星忽然笑不出了,陆小凤眼睛里却发出了光,他已看出自己并没有猜错。 七八条断断续续、零零碎碎的线索,现在终于已将它连接起来,只不过还差最后一颗扣子而已。 司空摘星又在叹息着,喃喃道:“这人说我是猴精,其实他自己才是……” 他的话忽然被打断,殷羡忽然又从飞檐下出现,道:“白云城主来了。” 月光下果然出现条白衣人影,身形飘飘,宛如御风,轻功之高,竟不在司空摘星之下。 司空摘星又叹了口气,道:“想不到叶孤城也有这么高的轻功。” 陆小凤眼睛里却带着种奇怪的表情,过了很久,才吐出口气,带着笑道:“轻功若不高,又怎能使得出那一着'天外飞仙'?” 月已中天。 殿脊前后几乎都站满了人,除了那十三个不愿露出真面目的神秘人物,还有七位都穿着御前带刀侍卫的服饰,显然都是大内中的高手,也想来看看当代两大剑客的风采。 从殿脊上,居高临下,看得反而比较清楚一些。 在月光下看来,叶孤城脸上果然全无血色,西门吹雪的脸虽然很苍白,却还有些生气。 两个人全都是白衣如雪,一尘不染,脸上全都完全没有表情。 在这一刻间,他们的人已变得像他们的剑一样,冷酷锋利,已完全没有人的情感。 两个人却是互相凝视着,眼睛里都在互相发着光。 每个人都距离他们很远,他们的剑虽然还没出鞘,剑气却已令人心惊。 ——这种凌厉的剑气,本就是他们自己本身发出来的。 ——可怕的也是他们本身这个人,并不是他们手里的剑。 叶孤城忽然道:“一别多年,别来无恙?” 西门吹雪道:“多蒙成全,侥幸安好。” 叶孤城道:“旧事何必重提,今日之战,你我必当各尽全力。” 西门吹雪道:“是。” 叶孤城道:“很好。” 他说话的声音本已显得中气不足,说了两句话后,竟似已在喘息。 西门吹雪却还是面无表情,视若不见,扬起手中剑,冷冷道:“此剑乃天下利器,剑锋三尺七寸,净重七斤十三两。” 叶孤城道:“好剑!” 西门吹雪道:“确是好剑!” 叶孤城也扬起手中剑,道:“此剑乃海外寒剑精英,吹毛断发,剑锋三尺三,净重六斤四两。” 西门吹雪道:“好剑!” 叶孤城道:“本是好剑!” 两人的剑虽已扬起,却仍未出鞘——拔剑的动作,也是剑法中不可缺少的一门,两人显然也要比个高下。 魏子云忽然道:“两位都是当代之剑术名家,负天下之重望,剑上当必不致淬毒,更不会秘藏机簧暗器。” 四下寂静无声,呼吸可闻,都在等着他说下去。 魏子云道:“只不过这一战旷绝古今,必传后世,未审两位是否能将佩剑交换查视,以昭大信?” 叶孤城立刻道:“谨遵台命。” 西门吹雪沉默着,过了很久,终于也慢慢地点了点头。 假如在一个月前,他是绝不会点头的,生死决战之前,制敌利器怎可离手? 但现在他已变了,缓缓道:“我的剑只能交给一个人。” 魏子云道:“是不是陆小凤陆大侠?” 西门吹雪道:“是。” 魏子云道:“叶城主的剑呢?” 叶孤城道:“一事不烦两主,陆大侠也正是我所深信的人。” 司空摘星忽然叹了口气,喃喃道:“这小子连和尚的馒头都要偷,居然还有人会相信他,奇怪奇怪。” 他说话的声音虽低,但是在此时此刻,每个字别人都听得清清楚楚。 木道人忍不住要笑了,卜巨忽然也大声道:“陆大侠仁义无双,莫说是一口剑,就算是我的脑袋,我卜巨也一样交给他。” 严人英立刻也跟着道:“在下严人英虽然是个无名小卒,可是对陆大侠的仰慕,也和这位卜帮主完全一样。” 其实严人英当然不是无名小卒,“开天掌”卜巨不但名头响亮,说起话来更声若洪钟,两个人抢着替陆小凤说话,好像生怕别人误会了他。 司空摘星只有苦笑,悄悄对陆小凤道:“莫忘记大家是来看叶孤城和西门吹雪的。” Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know." 司空摘星道:“可是大家现在却全都看着你。” 陆小凤笑了笑,大步走出去,先走到西门吹雪面前,接过他的剑,回头就走,又去接下叶孤城的剑,将两柄剑放在手里,喃喃道:“果然都是好剑。” 魏子云道:“这就请陆大侠将这两柄剑让他们两位交换,过一过目。” 陆小凤道:“你要我把西门吹雪的剑交给叶孤城,把叶孤城的剑交给西门吹雪么?” 魏子云道:“不错。” 陆小凤道:“不行。” 魏子云怔了怔,道:“为什么不行?” 陆小凤忽然道:“这么好的两口剑,到了我手里,我怎么舍得再送出去?” 魏子云怔住。 陆小凤把剑鞘夹在胁下,手腕一反,两剑全都出鞘,剑气冲霄,光华耀眼,连天上的一轮圆月都似已失去了颜色。 大家心里都在暗问自己:“这两柄剑若是到了我手里,我是不是舍得再送出去?” 陆小凤又道:“利器神物惟有德者居之,这句话各位听说过没有?” 没有人回答,没有人知道该怎么办。 陆小凤道:“这句话我听说过,我也看出了这两柄剑上没有花样。” 这句话说完,剑已入鞘,他忽然抬起手,将一柄剑抛给了西门吹雪,一柄剑抛给了叶孤城,就扬长走了回去。 大家又全怔住。 司空摘星忍不住道:“你这
