Chapter 11 The Eleventh Adventure to the Ultimate Pavilion

The gloomy night, the gloomy cliff, and the lonely wooden house looked like dead gray in the night. Under the platform-like cliff, stood three people, Hai Qikuo, the housekeeper, and the old swordsman. The mountain wind was strong, and the faces of the three of them were as gloomy as the night. Around the wooden house, dead branches have been piled up. Lu Xiaofeng asked his cousin and Liu Qingqing to join them, but he stopped far away. His heart is in a mess, he must calm down first. Liu Qingqing was already asking: "How long has she been in?" The old knife said: "It's been a long time."

Liu Qingqing said: "Who will find her here first?" The old knife said: "No one found out, she asked me to come, and she asked the night watchman here to call me, because she still has one last sentence to tell me." Liu Qingqing said: "What did she say?" The old knife clenched his fists tightly and said: "She wants me to find the real murderer and avenge his brother!" Liu Qingqing said: "She said this was her last sentence?" The old knife nodded, his face became more serious, and he said sadly: "She is ready to die." Liu Qingqing said: "Why don't you persuade her?"

The old knife said: "She said that as long as I go up, she will die in front of me immediately." Liu Qingqing didn't ask any more questions. Of course, she also knew that Ye Xue was a man who kept his word and would never change his mind because of anything. The wind is colder, and it seems that we can faintly hear crying. Liu Qingqing couldn't help but shivered in Lingling, and said, "Are we just going to watch her die like this?" The old swordman lowered his voice and said, "I'm waiting for you to come, maybe you can save her." Liu Qingqing said: "You want us to sneak up there?"

The old knife said: "You two have the highest lightness kung fu, if you go up when the wind is strong, Ah Xue will never notice." Liu Qingqing said: "And then?" The old knife said: "Cousin go around to the back first, break in through the wall, you wait at the front door, when she sees cousin, she will quarrel even if she doesn't make a move, you have to rush in and hug her immediately .” Liu Qingqing pondered, and said: "This method is not good." The old knife handle said coldly: "Can you think of a better way?" Liu Qingqing couldn't figure it out, so she had to go up.

Her lightness kung fu is really good, and her cousin is no worse than her. In fact, both of them can be regarded as top masters, and they can easily climb up the five or six zhang high cliffs. The cabin was still dark and dead silent, and Ye Xue really didn't notice their actions. Liu Qingqing made a gesture quietly, and her cousin walked around from behind, and then there was a "boom". It is not difficult to break into a house made of flammable wood. But after the sound of "Boom", there was a scream immediately, which was extremely shrill in the cold wind in the middle of the night.

There seemed to be a flash of sword light in the night, a person flew down from the cliff and fell heavily on the ground, half of his body was dripping with blood, it turned out to be his cousin. I only heard Ye Xue's voice coming from the wind: "Widow Hua, if you don't leave, I want you to die with me." Her voice was sharp and impatient: "You'd better go back and tell the old swordsman, if he doesn't want to hurt more lives, he'd better not call anyone up again, anyway, I will never get out of here alive." There is no need for Liu Qingqing to pass on a message, everyone has already heard her words, and they can hear every word clearly.

The old sword clenched his fists tightly, stared at his cousin from behind the bamboo hat like a blade, and said sharply: "You are the apprentice of Taoist Gu of Bashan, you always think that your martial arts are very good, why are you so useless?" Cousin clenched the wound on his shoulder tightly, blood was still gushing out between his fingers, and the cold sweat on his forehead was as big as soybeans. Undoubtedly, this sword wounded very badly. After a long time, he was able to struggle to speak: "She seems to have calculated my actions long ago. As soon as I broke in, her sword was already waiting there."

The old knife handle suddenly looked up and sighed, "I said long ago that you are not as good as her, Wandering Soul is dead, the general is seriously injured, I have lost two masters, if I lose her..." He stomped his feet heavily, and the rocks under his feet shattered immediately. At this moment, someone suddenly said in the darkness: "Maybe I still have a way to save her." It was Dugumei who came. The old knife said: "Do you have a way? What way?" Dugumei smiled and said: "It's a pity that I am a person who my relatives do not recognize, of course I will never save people for no reason."

He smiled meanly and cunningly, and the old knife stared at him for a long time before asking, "What conditions do you have?" Dugu Mei said: "My condition is very simple, I want a wife." The old knife said: "Who do you want?" Dugu Mei said: "Sisters from the Ye family, widow Hua, whoever you want will do." The old knife said: "Your method is effective?" Dugu Mei said: "As long as you agree, it will work." The old knife said: "As long as it is effective, I will agree." Dugumei laughed again, and said: "My method is also very simple, as long as Lu Xiaofeng is tied to the cliff, I can prove that he is the real murderer of Ye Guhong, because I was watching at the time, and Miss Ye listened In my case, I can't help but rush out to avenge her brother, and when she kills Lu Xiaofeng with her own hands, of course she won't want to die."

The old swordman listened quietly, and suddenly asked: "Didn't you bring Lu Xiaofeng here?" Dugu Mei smiled and said: "At that time, I only discovered my conscience once by chance, and I didn't have many consciences." The old swordsman remained silent for a long time, nodded slowly, and said, "Your idea sounds very good." As soon as this sentence was finished, he had already made a move, and with a light slap, Dugumei was slumped to the ground like mud. Dugumei yelled: "Since my method is good, why did you beat me?" The old knife handle said coldly: "Although the method is good, you are wrong."

The second time he made a shot, Dugu Mei couldn't scream anymore. His shot was neither too fast nor too heavy, but it was absolutely accurate and effective. Lu Xiaofeng was still standing far away, but the old swordsman suddenly walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Come with me!" It was even darker behind the col, and when he got to the darkest place, the old knife stopped, turned to face Lu Xiaofeng, and said slowly: "Dugumei's method is indeed very effective, why don't I use it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because you know that I am not the real murderer." The old knife said: "No." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because you need me too?" The old knife said: "That's right." They both know that they don't have to lie in front of each other, because they are not easy to be deceived, which makes them have a mutual understanding that is almost close to friendship. The old knife said: "I am already an old man, I know that once a good opportunity is missed, it will never come again, so..." Lu Xiaofeng said: "So you need me, because your chance is coming soon!" The old swordsman looked directly at him, and slowly said: "I also need Ye Xue, because what I want to do is a big event, and you are already indispensable in my plan." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You want me to save her?" The old knife nodded and said: "If there is only one person in the world who can keep her alive, that person is you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Okay, I'll go, but I also have conditions." The old knife said: "You say." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I want you to give me twenty-four hours. During this time limit, no matter what I do, you can't interfere." The old swordsman said: "I know you always like to use your own way of doing things." Lu Xiaofeng said: "From now on, I don't want anyone to stay where they can see me. As long as you promise, I will definitely bring her to see you in two days." The old knife said: "She was still alive at that time?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I promise." The old swordsman stopped thinking about it: "I promise." Everyone has gone, the cliff is empty and gloomy, and the dead gray wooden house looks like a lonely ghost in the dark. Lu Xiaofeng walked over against the wind, the mountain wind was wet and cold, why is this place always foggy? Before they got too close, Ye Xue's voice, wet and cold, came from the wooden house: "Who is it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You should know who I am, I can't see you, but you can see me." After a long silence, the answer was only one word: "Go away!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You don't want to see me?" The answer was still the same word: "Go away." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You don't want to see me, why are you still waiting for me?" There was another silence in the wooden house, Lu Xiaofeng said: "You know I will definitely come sooner or later, so you are not dead yet." He spoke very slowly, walked quickly, and suddenly came to the door of the wooden house: "So I will push the door and walk in now. This time, I promise that there will be no second person nearby." He pushed open the door. The wooden house was even more gloomy and dark, only a pair of bright eyes could be seen, with an indescribable expression in them, maybe it was grief?Is it sad?Or hate? Lu Xiaofeng stopped far away and said, "You have nothing to say to me?" The crying had stopped long ago, but the eyes were moist again. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I know that you didn't do this entirely for me, it's just because what you want has never been snatched away." Another cold light flashed in the darkness, like the edge of a sword. Did she want to kill Lu Xiaofeng?Or do you want to die in front of Lu Xiaofeng? Lu Xiaofeng's palms were already clenched with cold sweat, this moment was the most important moment, if there was a slight mistake, at least one of them would die here. He must never do a wrong thing, never say a wrong word. Ye Xue's voice suddenly sounded again in the darkness: "I did this only because there is no one in the world worthy of my life." Lu Xiaofeng said: "There is one more person, at least one more." Ye Xue really couldn't help but ask, "Who?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Your father." He didn't let Ye Xue speak, and quickly continued: "Your father is not dead, I saw him last night." Ye Xue sneered suddenly, and said, "Why do you want me to believe your nonsense?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "This is not nonsense, I can take you to find him right now." Ye Xue was already hesitating: "Can you find it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "If you can't find it within twelve hours, I will be responsible for sending you back and let you die peacefully." Ye Xue was finally moved: "Okay, I will trust you this time." Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, "You will definitely not regret it." Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the cold sword edge was imminent. Ye Xue's voice was colder than the sword edge: "If you lie to me again this time, I will want you to die with me!" The dark valley, the mysterious jungle, all of these are familiar to Lu Xiaofeng, just like the woman beside him, sometimes scary, but also has an irresistible attraction. This time he didn't get lost.When he returned, he was ready to come again. Ye Xue walked beside him silently, with a pale face and cold eyes, it was obvious that she was determined to keep a distance from him. But in this kind of mysterious and dark mountain forest, no matter what happens, it will change. They had been walking for a long time, and there was the smell of the swamp in the wind, Lu Xiao suddenly stopped and faced her: "I saw him near here yesterday." Ye Xue said: "Where are his people now?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know." Ye Xue clenched her hand tightly. Lu Xiaofeng said: "I only know that he is in the swamp ahead, but we must wait until dawn to find him." He sat down: "We'll wait here." Ye Xue looked at him coldly, and said coldly: "I said before, if you lie to me again this time..." Lu Xiaofeng interrupted her: "I have never lied to you, maybe you hate me because I refuse to lie to you." Ye Xue turned her head and stopped looking at him, her indifferent and beautiful eyes suddenly showed tiredness. She was tired indeed, physically and mentally, but she refused to sit down, she must stay awake. Lu Xiaofeng was already lying on the soft fallen leaves, with his eyes closed. After he closed his eyes, Ye Xue was staring at him, and after an unknown amount of time, her lips began to tremble suddenly, and then her whole body trembled, as if suddenly remembering a terrible thing. She bit her lips hard, trying to control herself, but this place was so quiet, it was so quiet that it made people crazy, and the things she thought happened to be unbearable for any woman. She rushed over suddenly, kicked Lu Xiaofeng in the ribs, and hissed: "I hate you, I hate you..." Lu Xiaofeng finally opened his eyes and looked at her in surprise. Ye Xue gasped and said, "You and my sister must have been here last night, and you brought me here again today, you...you..." Her voice was hoarse, madness appeared in her eyes, and she tried to strangle Lu Xiaofeng by the throat. Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to grab her hand, she tried harder, and he could only use more strength. The two kept rolling and struggling on the soft fallen leaves, and Lu Xiaofeng suddenly found himself on top of her. She was panting violently, but her body was softer than a fallen leaf, and she had exhausted all her strength. Then she suddenly became quiet, gave up all struggle and resistance, and when she opened her eyes to look at Lu Xiaofeng again, her eyes were already filled with tears. The world is so quiet, so dark, and the distance between them is so close. Lu Xiaofeng's heart suddenly softened like a fruit in honey, and all the pain and hatred were forgotten in this instant. Tears welled up and ran down her pale cheeks, and he was about to suck them dry with his parched lips. At this moment, the cold wind blowing from the swamp suddenly brought a burst of singing. The pathetic singing is enough to remind people of all the pain and hatred. Ye Xue's breathing paused: "It's him?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed in his heart: "It seems so." Ye Xue bit her lips again: "Maybe he knows we've come and is telling us to go?" Lu Xiaofeng stood up silently, and took her hand, as if pulling a drowned person out of the water. In his feeling, it was not Ye Xue who was almost drowned, but himself. What's in the swamp but slime?Rotting leaves and poisonous weeds, falling rocks, countless species of unknown insects and poisonous snakes, blood-sucking gnats and leeches... In this swamp of wonders, you can even find hundreds of strange things, and you can guarantee that there is never one that is not disgusting. But in the dark, this disgusting swamp suddenly became indescribably beautiful, except for the stench that even the darkness couldn't hide, it was almost like a mysterious and peaceful lake. The sad song had stopped, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't go any further. He had to stop, because he had stepped on the wet mud just now, and his whole body was almost sucked down. Just like sin, there seems to be a kind of sexual attraction in the swamp, as long as you sink, you will only sink to the bottom. Ye Xue's face turned even paler: "You said he has been hiding here all these years?" Lu Xiaofeng nodded. Ye Xue said: "How can he survive in this place?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because he doesn't want to die." There was also sadness in his voice: "If a person really wants to live, no matter how much pain he suffers, he can bear it." This is a very simple sentence, but it has a very complex and profound truth, which can only be understood by those who have experienced painful experiences. Someone in the dark sighed: "You said it well, but you did it wrong. You shouldn't have brought others here." The hoarse and bitter voice sounded familiar, and Ye Xue's hands were already cold. Lu Xiaofeng held her hand tightly and said, "This is not someone else, but your daughter." He couldn't see anyone and couldn't hear the response. Facing the dark swamp, he continued loudly, "Although you don't want her to see you, you should at least see her. She has grown up." Shadow's voice suddenly interrupted his words: "Is she still the same as before, who likes to hide in a dark room by herself so that others can't find her?" This is her secret, she is born with a pair of eyes that can see in the dark. She likes to hide in the dark, because she knows that others cannot see her, but she can see others. Not many people knew the secret, and her body suddenly tensed up. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Have you heard who he is?" Ye Xue nodded, and suddenly said loudly: "If you don't let me see you, I will die here." There was another silence, and finally a black shadow appeared in the darkness. It turned out to be a houseboat with a strange shape. It could not only float on the swamp, but also walk on it. "You must see me?" "Definitely." Ye Xue replied firmly. "Lu Xiaofeng, you shouldn't have brought her here, you really shouldn't." Shadow sighed, no one could understand his daughter's pride and stubbornness better than him. "I can let you see me again, but you will definitely regret it, because I am not what I used to be..." Ye Xue said loudly: "No matter what you become, you are still my father. In my heart, you will never change. You will always be the most handsome man in the world and the best man to me." The floating houseboat was gradually approaching, and within two feet, Ye Xue jumped on it. Lu Xiaofeng didn't stop him, he could see that there must be a very deep and intimate relationship between their father and daughter. He suddenly thought of his parents, and thought of the loneliness and loneliness in his own life. An exclamation interrupted his thoughts. The call came from the boat house, it was Ye Xue's voice, the boat house drifted away again, and gradually disappeared into the darkness again. Lu Xiaofeng lost his voice: "You can't take her away." The shadow is laughing: "Since she is my daughter, why can't I take her away?" The laughter was full of ridicule and malice. Lu Xiaofeng's whole body was cold, and he suddenly realized a terrible thing: "You are not her father!" Shadow chanted: "East of the Weishui River, Yushu facing the wind..." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know you are the 'Jade Tree Swordsman' Ye Lingfeng, but you are not her father." Shadow laughed loudly: "No matter who I belong to her, I have already taken her away anyway, and I will go back and tell the old swordsman, if he wants someone, tell him to ask for it himself." The laughter faded away, the boathouse disappeared, and the mysterious swamp regained its dark tranquility. Lu Xiaofeng stood in the darkness, after a long time, he suddenly sighed and said: "I don't need to go back and tell you, you should hear every word he said clearly." He didn't talk to himself, when the boat house was gone, he knew that the old knife was behind him. He knew it without looking back. Sure enough, the old swordsman came, and he sighed a long time, saying: "I heard everything he said, but I kept a long distance from you and didn't interfere with your actions." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know you are a person who keeps your word." The old knife said: "What else do you know?" Lu Xiaofeng suddenly turned around and stared at him: "Axue is not Ye Lingfeng's daughter, but yours." The old swordsman neither denied nor admitted. Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's because Ye Lingfeng knew about it that you wanted to kill him." The old swordsman smiled, and his laughter was difficult: "I didn't expect that he didn't die." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Although life is more painful than death, he gritted his teeth and endured it." The old knife said: "Because he wants revenge." Lu Xiaofeng said: "But he didn't dare to look for you, he can only ask you to look for him by force, he is more familiar with this area than you, and he has A Xue as a hostage, his chances are much better than yours." The old knife handle said coldly: "I thought you would never be fooled, but unexpectedly, you were taken advantage of by others." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Fortunately, our deadline has not yet come." The old knife said: "Are you sure you can get her back before the deadline?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm not sure, but I must go." The old knife said: "How are you going to go? Get through the mud like a loach?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I can make a raft." The old knife handle pondered, and said: "The raft you made can carry two people?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Only a raft made by two people can carry two people." The old swordsman smiled: "It seems that you are a person who never wants to suffer." There was a jungle next to the swamp, and the two of them worked together, and in a short while they felled seventeen or eighteen trees—not with knives, but with hands. The old knife handle said: "You come and peel off the branches and leaves on the tree, and I will go find the rope." Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly: "Working with someone like you, you can't even think you will suffer." Although he knew that his job was difficult, he had no choice but to accept his fate, because he didn't know where to find the rope. The handle of the old knife could not be found either, just as he bent down, the palm of the handle of the old knife cut the back of his neck, and he also fell down like a tree. It was dark and still foggy. There is no one in the room, there is a bottle of wine on the small table by the bed, and a short note is pressed under the wine cup: "I accidentally hurt my neck by accident, and I like to have wine, which can calm the shock. You might as well have a small drink when you wake up. Around noon Let's meet again." After reading this short note, Lu Xiaofeng realized that his neck was so painful that it was difficult to turn his head. Of course, this was not the result of an old swordsman accidentally injuring him.But why did the old swordsman plot against him?Why not let him save Ye Xue? Is there any dark secret in it?He couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, picked up the wine bottle, and poured it into his mouth. After drinking half a bottle of wine, there was suddenly the sound of dogs barking outside. At first there was only one dog, but suddenly there were seven or eight dogs, big dogs, small dogs, male dogs and bitches, and the barking was extremely lively. How could there be so many dogs suddenly in this mysterious valley? Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but want to have a look, just as he walked over and opened the door, he couldn't help being stunned. There wasn't even a dog outside, just a man. A thin and dry man in black, with a sallow complexion, but a pair of shining eyes. Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and smiled wryly, "Are you a human? Or a dog?" Jun Lang said: "Neither a human nor a dog." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What are you?" Jun Lang said: "I am not a thing, so I came to you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why are you looking for me?" Jun Lang said: "You promise me one thing, and I will tell you two things." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is it good news? Or bad news?" Mr. Quan Lang smiled and said: "From what I said, how can there be any good news?" Lu Xiaofeng also laughed, and suddenly struck out like lightning, pinching his nose with two fingers. The two most valuable fingers in the martial arts, the most famous unparalleled stunt in the world. Inu Lang-kun can't dodge at all, even if he knows that these two fingers will pinch him, he still can't dodge. Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "It is said that dogs have the most sensitive noses, a dog without a nose must have a hard time." Inu Lang-kun's sallow face was already flushed, and he couldn't even breathe. Lu Xiaofeng let go of his hand and said, "Let's talk about your news first." Mr. Quanlang took a long breath and said, "What news?" Lu Xiaofeng laughed again, and suddenly made another lightning strike, pinching a nose with two fingers. Inu Lang-kun still can't escape. Lu Xiaofeng let go of his hand again, and said with a smile, "What news are you talking about?" This time, Mr. Quanlang can only tell the truth, because he already understands one thing - as long as Lu Xiaofeng makes a move, he can pinch his nose at any time, just like an old beggar who catches lice. "The general is dying, Xiaoye is gone." This is the news he said, and the news is really bad. Lu Xiaofeng said: "No one knows where Xiaoye went?" Mr. Quanlang smiled bitterly: "Even dogs don't know, let alone people?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Where's the general?" Jun Lang said: "The general is waiting to die." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know the weight of my actions, I didn't want him to die." Jun Lang said: "Besides you, there are other people here." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Other people killed him, the debt still has to be settled on my head?" Jun Lang said: "So you should understand that I have good intentions, the general and the old knife have always been friends." Lu Xiaofeng said: "So I should promise you too?" Jun Lang said: "I just want you to take me away when you leave." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is this the matter?" Jun Lang said: "For you, this is a small matter, but for me it is a big matter." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Okay, I promise." Mr. Quanlang suddenly knelt down, kowtowed three times on his head, and exhaled, "It's a pity that I don't have a tail, otherwise I would wag you at least three times when I saw you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Where is the general waiting to die?" Jun Lang said: "Of course the general is in the general's mansion." There is a jungle outside the general's mansion. Mr. Inu Lang has left, but there are people panting like dogs in the jungle. It was lucky to be able to breathe, the general's breathing had stopped. A man was panting, riding on him, with both hands around his throat. This person is surprisingly Dugumei. Lu Xiaofeng rushed over and sent him flying with a backhand palm, the general's face was like gold paper, his heart seemed to be beating, his eyes were still open, he looked at Lu Xiaofeng beggingly, as if he had something to say, he was dying alone What is said before is usually a big secret. It's a pity that he didn't even say a word, when Lu Xiaofeng bent down, his heart stopped beating. Dugu Mei was still panting. Lu Xiaofeng picked him up and said, "Do you have any grudges?" Dugu Mei shook her head. Lu Xiaofeng said: "He wants to kill you?" Dugu Mei shook her head. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then why did you kill him?" Dugumei looked at him, her breathing gradually calmed down, her gaze gradually became sharper, and she suddenly asked: "Do you really think I am Dugumei, who is 'unrecognized by six relatives'?" No one would have expected that he would suddenly ask this question, Lu Xiaofeng was also very surprised: "Aren't you?" Dugumei sighed, and suddenly said something surprising: "Take off my pants." Lu Xiaofeng also stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "I have never taken off men's pants, but this time I will make an exception." Dugumei is already an old man, but the muscles of his buttocks still look strong and young. "Did you see a tumor on it?" Of course Lu Xiaofeng couldn't see it, this tumor was big enough for anyone from a mile away to see it clearly. Dugu Mei said: "Use this knife to cut it open." A knife was handed over, the blade was sharp. Lu Xiaofeng has done countless weird things in his life, but when he took the knife, he couldn't help hesitating for a long time before cutting it off. Blood spattered, and a golden pill came in and out of the cut sarcoma along with the blood. Dugu Mei said: "Cut the ball again." After cutting it off with a knife, it was discovered that the golden pill was made of wax, wrapped in gold paper, and a piece of yellow silk was hidden inside. Investigate the whereabouts of traitors, this order." Below it is not only the great seal of the head teacher of Wudang, but also the monogram of the head teacher Shi Zhenren. Dugu Mei said: "This is what the Master Master wants me to use to prove my identity in a crisis." Lu Xiaofeng looked at him in surprise, finally sighed, and said, "It seems that you really are not Dugumei." Sun Bianchang said: "Before I joined the martial arts, I was originally a disciple of Fourth Aunt Hua's sect. The Hua family's disguise technique is amazing in the world, but to be cautious, I devoted myself to Dugu Mei's sect as a slave. It took me a month to imitate his voice and demeanor, and I didn't act until I felt safe." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You killed him?" Sun Bianchang nodded and said, "I will never let anyone find another Dugumei." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who is the traitor you want to investigate?" Sun Bianchang said: "The first one is Shihe." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Now you have found him?" Sun Bianchang said: "That's also thanks to you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Did Zhong Wugu die in your hands?" Sun Bian said: "He is also a traitor of Wudang, I will never let him live." Lu Xiaofeng's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Did Ye Lingfeng, the Yushu swordsman, also work under the Wudang sect in his early years?" Sun Bian said: "He and Zhong Wugu are both lay disciples of Wudang, and they were expelled from the sect by the ancestor Mei Zhenren." Mei Zhenren is Mu Daoren's elder brother, who has been in charge of the Wudang sect for seventeen years before passing it on to the current head, Shi Yan. Sun Bianchang said: "We have studied for a long time, and we all think that it is safest to use Dugumei's identity as a cover, but it's a pity..." Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's a pity that your secret was discovered by the general." Sun Bianchang smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone thinks that he was seriously injured, and I was almost deceived too. Who knows that the person hiding in the general's mansion to recuperate is not him, he has been staring at me all the time." Lu Xiaofeng said: "How did you show your flaws?" Sun Bianchang said: "He was an old friend of Dugumei. He knew many secrets of Dugumei's early years, but I didn't. He tricked me with words, and I had no choice but to kill him." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why did you tell me this secret?" Sun Bianchang said: "Now the situation is critical, I have no choice but to say it, I not only want you to keep this secret for me, but also to help me, I can't hide in this place, I must hurry back to Wudang as soon as possible." He forced a smile, and said again: "Of course I have already seen that you are not the one who betrays your friends. I still don't believe that you will really seduce Ximen Chuuxue's wife. It must be a play you put on on purpose. Because you also want to reveal the secret of this ghost villa." Lu Xiaofeng stared at him for a long time, then suddenly sighed and said: "It's a pity, a pity, a pity." Sun Bianchang said: "What a pity?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's a pity that you misjudged the person." Sun Bianchang's face changed, and he said sharply, "Did you forget who brought you in?" Lu Xiaofeng said coldly: "I haven't forgotten, and I haven't forgotten that you have killed me three times in the past two days. If it wasn't for the old knife, I would have died in your hands." Sun Bianchang said: "Can't you see that I did it on purpose for them to see?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I can't see it." Sun Bianchang stared at him, and suddenly heaved a long sigh, saying, "Okay, you're fine." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm not good, not at all!" Sun Bianchang said: "Then you deserve to die!" With the sound of drinking, his body has jumped up, his fingertips are still half a foot away from Lu Xiaofeng's chest, his palm suddenly spits forward, directly hit Xuanji point, he used the palm strength of Wudang Xiaotianxing, and his recognition of the point is very accurate. It's a pity that when he spit out his palm force, Lu Xiaofeng's Xuanji point was no longer there, and neither was the person there. Sun Bianchang flipped his palm, the black bird scratched the sand, the geese fell on the flat sand, the geese flew south, and there were three moves in one move. This kind of light and dense Wudang palm technique in his hands not only showed great skill, but also real changes. quick. Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "The disciples under Taoist Shi's sect are really amazing." After finishing these two sentences, all of Sun Chang's moves failed again. No matter how fast he moves, Lu Xiaofeng always seems to be one step faster than him. It seems that Lu Xiaofeng knows no less than him about the changes in the use of Wudang palms. He stopped suddenly, stared at Lu Xiaofeng, and said: "Have you also practiced Wudang Kung Fu?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I haven't practiced Wudang Kungfu, but I have many Wudang friends." There was another glimmer of hope in Sun Bianchang's eyes, and he said, "Then you should help me escape." Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's a pity that you are not my friend. You saved me once and hurt me three times. Now I let you do eight tricks. Our debt has already been settled." Sun Bianchang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I was already ready to attack!" He actually used Wudang's Xiaotianxing palm force, and he spit out from the palm, hitting Xuanji acupoint. Sun Bianchang turned over with his arms, barely avoiding the palm, but Lu Xiaofeng's left palm had already cut the large blood vessel in the back of his neck. When he fell down, he was still looking at Lu Xiaofeng in surprise. Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "You don't know that I have two hands?" Of course Sun Bianchang knew, but he never imagined that a person's hands could move so fast. Lao Daohanzi sat on his old and large wooden chair, looking at Lu Xiaofeng, he seemed very happy. Old wooden chairs are like old friends, they always make people feel very comfortable and pleasant. It's a pity that Lu Xiaofeng still couldn't see his face. Sun Chang was right in front of him, but he didn't even look at it. He was obviously more interested in Lu Xiaofeng than anyone else. Lu Xiaofeng said: "This person is a spy, a spy from Wudang." The old knife said: "Why didn't you kill him?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I have no right to kill people, nor do I want to kill people." The old knife said: "Then you should let him go." Lu Xiaofeng was surprised: "Let him go?" The old knife handle said indifferently: "The real spies are all dead long ago, and no one has ever lived here for more than three days." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Isn't he?" The old knife said: "Of course he is a spy, but he is not Wudang's spy, but mine. I sent him to Wudang many years ago to go undercover." Lu Xiaofeng was stunned. The old swordsman was smiling happily, "No matter what, you should thank him." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why should I thank him?" The old knife said: "It is because of him that I truly trust you completely." Lu Xiaofeng said: "He was also sent by you to test me?" The old swordsman smiled and said: "Some people are born spies, you can only let them do what spies do, and they will never be disappointed." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is this person a born spy?" The old knife said: "It is from the beginning to the end." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and suddenly kicked Sun Changan like a ball and rolled him out. The old swordsman also sighed and said: "There is only one disadvantage of being a spy. This kind of person is like a donkey, who will be kicked twice every now and then." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I only kicked one foot." The old knife said: "Who are you going to kick?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Kick myself." The old knife said: "Are you also a spy?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm not a spy, I'm just a donkey, an extremely stupid donkey." He looked very angry: "Because I tried my best to save someone's daughter, but in return I got a slap, and it happened to be chopped on the我脖子上。” 老刀把子又叹了口气，道：“其实你自己也该知道我绝不能让你去救她。” Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know." 老刀把子道：“那沼泽里不但到处都有杀人的陷阱，而且还有流沙，一陷下去，就尸骨无存，我怎么能让你去冒险？” 陆小凤道：“为什么不能？” 老刀把子道：“因为我需要你，将军和钟无骨都已死了，现在你已是我的右臂，若是再失去这条右臂，我计划多时的大事，只怕就要成为泡影。” 陆小凤道：“你的意思是不是说，现在你已少不了我？” 他说话的方式很奇特，也很谨慎，本来他只用六个字就可以说完的话，这次却用了十六个字。 老刀把子的回答却简单而干脆：“是的。” 陆小凤笑了，就在他开始笑的时候，他身子已飞鹰般掠起，他的手就是鹰爪。 鹰爪的猎物却是老刀把子头上的竹笠。 老刀把子还是坐着没有动，他却抓空了。 就算是最灵敏狡猾的狐兔，也很难逃脱鹰爪的一抓，他的出手绝对比鹰爪更迅速准确。 可是他抓空了，因为老刀把子连人带椅都已滑了出去，就像是急流上的皮筏般忽然滑了出去，那沉重的木椅就好像已黏在他身上。 陆小凤叹了口气，身子飘落，他知道这一击不中，第二次更难得手。 老刀把子道：“你想看看我？” 陆小凤苦笑道：“你要我为你去死，至少应该让我看看你是什么人。” 老刀把子道：“我不好看，我也不想要你为我死，这件事成功后对大家都有利。” 陆小凤道：“若是不成呢？” 老刀把子淡淡道：“你就算死了，也没有什么损失，你本来就已应该是个死人。” 陆小凤道：“你创立这幽灵山庄，就是为了要找人来替你冒险？” 老刀把子道：“到这里来的人，本来都已应该死过一次，再死一次又何妨？” 陆小凤道：“死过一次的人，也许更怕死。” 老刀把子同意这一点：“可是在这里躲着，跟死有什么分别？” 陆小凤叹了口气，他承认分别的确不大。 老刀把子刀锋般的目光在竹笠后盯着他：“你愿不愿意在这里呆一辈子？” Lu Xiaofeng immediately shook his head. 老刀把子道：“除了我们外，这里还有三十七位客人，你好像都已见过，你看出了什么？” 陆小凤苦笑道：“我什么都没有看出来。” 老刀把子显然很满意：“你当然看不出的，因为大家的棱角都已被磨圆了，看起来都是很平凡庸碌的人。” 陆小凤道：“可是他们……” 老刀把子道：“能到这里来的，每个人都是好手，每个人都有段辉煌的历史，都跟你一样，不甘寂寞，谁也不愿意在这里呆一辈子。” 他的声音很愉快：“大家惟一能重见天日的机会，就是做成这件事。” 陆小凤终于问道：“这件事究竟是什么事？” 老刀把子道：“你很快就会知道的。” 陆小凤道：“很快是什么时候？” 老刀把子道：“就是现在。” 这句话刚说完，外面已有钟声响起，老刀把子站起来，声音更愉快：“可是我们一定要先吃饭，今天中午这顿饭我保证你一定会满意的。” 菜很多，酒却很少，老刀把子显然希望每个人都保持清醒。 可是他自己却喝了用金樽装着的大半杯波斯葡萄酒，后来居然还添了一次。 这是陆小凤第一次看他喝酒。 “对他说来，今天一定是个大日子。”陆小凤心里在想：“为了等这一天，他一定已等了很久。” 大家都在低着头，默默的吃饭，却吃得很少，大部分都没有喝酒。 所以陆小凤就可以多喝一点，然后才能以愉快的眼神去打量这些人。 虽然大家穿的都是宽大保守的长袍，在大厅里阴黯的光线下看来，还是有几个人显得比较触目。 一个是长着满脸金钱癣的壮汉，两杯酒喝下去，就使得他脸上每块癣看来都像是枚发亮的铜钱。 一个是紫面长髯，看来竟有几分像是戏台上的关公。一个是脑满肠肥，肚子球一般凸出来。一个是相貌严肃，像是坐在刑堂上的法吏。一个满嘴牙都掉光了的老婆婆，吃得却比谁都多。 还有几个特别安静沉默的瘦削老人，他们令人触目，也许就因为他们的沉默。 除了柳青青外，年纪最轻的是个脸圆如盆，看来还像是孩童般的小矮子。年纪最大的，就是这几个安静沉默的黑衣老人。 陆小凤试探着，想从记忆中找出这些人的来历。他第一个想到的，当然就是“金钱豹”花魁。 这个人身材高大，酒喝得不比陆小凤少，动作仿佛很迟钝，满脸的癣使他看起来显得甚至有点滑稽。 可是等到他暗器出手时，就绝不会再有人觉得滑稽了。 江南花家是江湖中最负盛名的暗器世家，他就是花家嫡系子弟。 有人甚至说他的暗器功夫已可排名在天下前三名之内。 陆小凤也已注意到，他的酒喝得虽多，一双手却仍然很稳。 那个法吏般严肃的人，是不是昔年黑道七十二寨的刑堂总堂主“辣手追魂”杜铁心？ 那老婆婆是不是“秦岭双猿”中的母猿？只为了一颗在传说中可以延年益寿的异种蟠桃，就割断了他老公“圣手仙猿”娄大圣的脖子。 那几个从来没有说过话的黑衣老人是谁？还有那圆脸大头的小矮子？ 陆小凤没有再想下去，因为柳青青正在悄悄的拉他衣角，悄悄的问：“你老婆呢？” 陆小凤怔了怔，才想起她问的是叶灵：“听说她不见了。” 柳青青道：“你想不想知道她在哪里？” Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't want to." 柳青青撇了撇嘴，故意叹息：“男人果然没有一个好东西，可是我偏要告诉你。”她声音更低：“现在她一定在水里。” 陆小凤不懂：“她怎么会在水里？你怎么知道她在水里？” 柳青青道：“因为她偷了人家一件如意鱼皮水靠，和四对分水飞鱼刺才走的。” 陆小凤更吃惊，令他吃惊的有两件事： ——水靠和飞鱼刺不一定要在水里才有用，在沼泽的烂泥里也同样用得着。 叶灵是不是找她姐姐去了？她怎么会知道沼泽里发生的那些事？ ——如意水靠和飞鱼刺是江湖中很有名的利器，属于一个很有名的人。 “飞鱼岛主”于还不但名动七海，在中原武林也很有名，不但水性极高，剑法也不弱。 这个人如果还没有死，如果也在这里，应该也很触目。可是陆小凤并没有发现他。 柳青青还在等他的反应，所以一直没有开口。 陆小凤沉吟着，终于问道：“这件事老刀把子知不知道？” 柳青青笑了笑，道：“这里好像还没有他不知道的事。” ——叶灵去找她姐姐，难道也是老刀把子授意的？否则她怎么会知道叶雪的行踪？ 陆小凤没有再问别的，因为他忽然发现有个人已无声无息的到了他们身后。 他回过头，就看见了一张没有脸的脸，赫然正是那从不露面的勾魂使者。 大厅里气氛更沉重严肃，大家对这个没有脸的人仿佛都有些畏惧。 他没有坐下，只是动也不动的站在老刀把子身后。 他腰上佩着剑。形式古雅的剑鞘上，有七个刀疤般的印子，本来上面显然镶着有珠玉宝石。 这是不是武当派中，唯有掌门人能佩带的七星宝剑！ 就在这时，海奇阔忽然站起来，用洪钟般的声音宣布：“天雷行动已开始！”
