Chapter 6 The Sixth Wooden Man Formation

Several people came from there, only one person's footsteps were relatively heavy, and his body must have been full of gold, pearls and silver coins. Lu Xiaofeng really wanted to see who this person was, but he couldn't even raise his head, he just listened to Niu Tang and said, "You all come to see this new follower of Ninth Brother, his name is Mu Banban, he seems to be the disciple of Hainan Guyan , Brother Nine specially asked him to bring back a lot of presents for me." Her voice was full of joy, and someone immediately asked, "Where has Lao Jiu been these past few days? When will he come back? Is he in good health recently? Has he ever been drunk?"

Mu Banban immediately replied respectfully one by one, but even he didn't know the whereabouts of the Ninth Young Master. Hearing that Master Ninth's return date was uncertain, everyone seemed disappointed, and hearing that he was in good health, everyone was very happy. For this prodigal son who was far away and whose whereabouts were uncertain, everyone seemed to care indescribably; but for this Lu Xiaofeng who was lying in front of them at this moment, no one asked at all.They don't care about this person's life or death at all. Even Shaman didn't look at him, Niu Tang was asking her: "Did Brother Jiu give you anything this time?"

Shaman said indifferently: "He knows that I have never been interested in these extraneous things, so why bother?" Beef soup said: "Are you not interested in his belongings? Are you only interested in his people?" Sharman actually acquiesced. Niu Tang sneered and said, "It's a pity that he will never give his own person to you." The two people's words seemed to be filled with strong jealousy, and it was even more unpleasant for Lu Xiaofeng to hear it. He has always been the darling of the rivers and lakes, and everyone who knows him is proud of him. He is very popular wherever he goes. Only he can drink the famous wine that the master of Woyun Tower has collected for many years. Even the lonely and proud Master Bitter Gourd, When they saw him coming, they would go to the kitchen and cook some vegetarian dishes for him.

Girls were so irresistible at the sight of him that the icebergs would melt. But when he got here, he suddenly seemed worthless, not even worthy to shine the shoes of that Ninth Young Master. A person who lived to such an extent would really be better off dead, but the honest monk still didn't do anything. Niu Niu Tang didn't want to talk to Shaman any more, he turned his head and stared at the honest monk, and said, "You still don't do it?" The honest monk asked, "What are you doing?" Niu Tang said: "Kill people with your hands." The honest monk said: "Are you really going to kill him?"

Beef soup said: "Of course it's true." The honest monk said: "Okay, you can find anyone to kill. The monk only needs to win one and a half moves. The monk does not kill people." He clapped his hands, stood up and walked away. In the blink of an eye, he walked out of the Jiuqu long bridge, and no one stopped him. It seems that although the people here are acting secretly, they are all good men who keep their promises. Niu Niu Tang sneered and said, "It's not easy to find a murderer. If any of you kills this person, I will give him 10,000 taels." Lu Xiaofeng was lying on the ground, he didn't even bother to stand up. It seemed that it was not difficult to kill such a person, but the beef soup cost 10,000 taels. I don't know if it was because her money came so easily, or because she wanted someone here. This is the price to pay for killing people.

It would cost 10,000 taels to kill someone casually, Lu Xiaofeng originally thought that there would be many people rushing to do it. Unexpectedly, everyone didn't even respond at all. Shaman said coldly: "If you want to kill someone, why don't you kill yourself? Haven't you killed anyone before?" Niu Niu Tang ignored her, glared at the Kunlun slaves who were carrying the boxes, and said, "You have worked so hard to carry the boxes for a few days, and at most you can only earn a hundred and eighty dollars, and you can earn 10,000 taels if you kill someone. You don't do good things?"

The Kunlun slaves were still standing there like wooden figures, and it turned out that they couldn't understand her words at all. Beef soup said: "Mu Banban, how are you?" Mu Banban sighed, and said: "I originally wanted to earn 10,000 taels, but it's a pity that Ninth Young Master told me that I can only kill one person at most every day. I dare not disobey Ninth Young Master's words." Beef Soup obviously didn't dare to disobey Young Master Ninth's words, and said coldly, "I know you think it's too little, I'll pay 50,000 taels, pay first and then kill."

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly jumped up and said, "I'll do it." Beef soup said: "What are you doing here?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No matter who kills me, are you willing to pay him fifty thousand taels first?" Beef soup said: "Not bad." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'll earn this fifty thousand taels." Beef soup said: "You want to kill yourself?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's not difficult to kill yourself, but fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small sum." Niu Tang said: "Your people are dead, what do you need money for?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Pay the debt." He sighed, and said: "Now I have owed a huge debt, if I don't pay it off, I won't feel at ease when I die and become a ghost." Beef soup looked at him coldly, and suddenly sneered and said, "Okay, you earned the 50,000 taels." She casually grabbed a handful of bank notes from her pocket, the smallest denomination was five thousand taels. Lu Xiaofeng chose a few pieces, exactly 50,000 taels, and gave one to the little old man first, saying: "Here is 15,000 taels, 10,000 taels will be returned to you, and 5,000 taels will be considered interest."

The little old man smiled happily and said, "The interest is really not small." Lu Xiaofeng said: "So you should have lent me more, I am always generous." The little old man sighed: "It's really generous, it's terribly generous." Lu Xiaofeng was looking for Shaman again, and said: "Here is five thousand five hundred taels, five hundred taels for redemption, and five thousand taels for interest!" Shaman said: "The interest of five hundred taels is also five thousand taels?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Anyway, five hundred taels and ten thousand taels are a one-off, and the interest is of course the same!"

Shaman looked at him, and there seemed to be a smile in his indifferent eyes, and said: "Now I know why you are so poor, how can you not be poor if you spend money like this!" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Anyway, this money is easy to come by. Now I know that there is probably nothing in the world that is easier to make money than killing people." Shaman's face became icy and cold again, expressionless, he took out his chamber pot knife, and said, "Are you going to use this knife to kill yourself?" Lu Xiaofeng shook his head immediately, and said: "This knife is not good, this knife is a bit aggressive." He looked at the bank note in his hand, and murmured: "I paid back 20,500, and there are 29,500 left. The silver has not been spent, so it is wrong to die?" Beef Soup said: "Then spend quickly!" Lu Xiaofeng thought for a while, then went to look for the little old man again, and said, "Just now you said that there is the best wine in the world, but the price is very high?" The little old man said: "I also said that you are my guest today, and you can drink for free." Lu Xiaofeng sneered and said: "Your daughter paid to kill me, and I still drink your wine? Come, take this 9500 taels, I want the best wine, I can buy as much as I can." The mustache suddenly smiled and said: "It cost another nine thousand five thousand, seems to be twenty thousand left?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "How much did you lose just now?" Mustache said: "I am the big winner." Lu Xiaofeng said: "How about we gamble again? It would be much happier if we simply lost everything." Mustache laughed loudly and said, "Okay, I just like happy people like you." Beef soup said coldly: "Not only is he happy, but he will soon be in pain. Whether he wipes his neck or chops his head, it will hurt." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I know there is a way to die that doesn't hurt at all." Beef Soup asked, "How did you die?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You lose." The dice were placed in the bowl again, and the wine was brought in. There were ten jars of wine, including daughter red and bamboo leaf green. I bought ten jars of wine for 9500 taels, the price is too expensive, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't care, opened the jar of Zhuyeqing first, poured half of the jar into his mouth, and said loudly: "Good wine." Mustache laughed and said, "It's really not easy to be able to tell the good from the bad with such a good drink." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Actually, I may not be able to tell the difference, but expensive wine is always good, no matter how much good wine you drink, you won't have a headache the next day." Beef soup said coldly: "If the head has fallen off, it doesn't matter whether it hurts or not." Lu Xiaofeng ignored her, picked up the dice, tapped on the side of the bowl, and said, "How much do you bet?" Mustache said: "How about ten thousand taels?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "10,000 is too little, 20,000 is better, we'll see if we win or lose." Mustache said: "Okay, this is the only way to be happy." Before he took out his banknotes, Lu Xiaofeng's dice had already been rolled, they only rolled twice in the bowl, and stopped immediately, all three dice were at six, and the banker took them all, without even a chance to catch up. Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly and said, "When a person is about to die, luck will always change." Holding the banknote in his hand, Mustache said loudly, "But I haven't placed my bet yet." Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "It's okay, I can trust you, I'm almost dead anyway, of course you won't let someone else blame you." Although Xiao Huzi had ten thousand reluctances in his heart, he couldn't even utter a single word. Lu Xiaofeng took his banknote and asked again: "Do you still want to gamble?" The mustache said: "Of course I have to gamble, but I have to be the banker for this one." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Okay, everyone takes turns to be the banker, as long as you can roll three sixes, you can eat any money, you don't have to be polite." He also bet the 20,000 silver notes he just won, and said with a smile, "Anyway, I don't think you can roll three sixes." Mustache's eyes lit up, he grabbed the dice, but turned to ask the white-haired old scholar standing beside him: "Do you think I can roll three sixes with this one?" The white-haired old man smiled and said, "I think you should be able to throw it. If you can't, it's a strange thing." The mustache was full of energy, and he gave a loud shout. As soon as the dice fell into the bowl, he could already see that there were six o'clock in front of him, but he knew that one of the dice suddenly jumped up, spun in the air, and bounced several feet , When it fell, it turned into a pile of powder. The dice in the bowl had stopped, and there were exactly two sixes. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly asked Shaman: "Two sixes, plus one point, what time is it?" Shaman said: "It's still one point, because the point of the last dice is the real point." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What if the last dice is not hit?" Sharman said: "No point means no point." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is it not a little big, or a little big?" Shaman said: "Of course it's a little bigger." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since even a dot is bigger than no dot, what should the dealer do if he throws a no dot?" Shaman said: "The banker will pay the compensation." Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly and said: "Thirty years of feng shui turns, I never thought you would throw a no point this time." Without saying a word, Xiao Huzi immediately paid him 40,000 taels, pushed the bowl to Lu Xiaofeng and said, "This time it's your turn to be the banker again, I just hope you don't throw a no point again." Even though he said that, he was thinking in his heart: "It's not because you didn't have some points in your toss this time." Of course, others thought the same as him, even if Lu Xiaofeng replaced it with three iron dice, it would be easier for them to crush one of them than to crush an ant. Gambling and playing tricks is a sneaky and shameful thing, but now it seems to have become aboveboard. The white-haired old scholar rushed to bet 30,000 taels first, and said, "It's a pity that the dealer's betting capital is only 80,000." The mustache said: "I'm the loser, he pays me off, and you have a share." He has already taken out all the bank notes on his body, and he has bet more than 80,000 taels by himself. In this bet, unless he wins or loses, it will be someone else's turn, but everyone is certain that Lu Xiaofeng must lose. The old pedant sighed, and said: "It seems that we can only drink soup this time." When it is their turn to compensate themselves, the dealer has no money to compensate, so it is called drinking soup. In the eyes of gamblers, there is probably nothing more unlucky in the world than drinking soup. He was about to take back the 30,000 taels, when suddenly someone said: "I will help the dealer this time, just bet on how much you have, and you will be killed and compensated." It was the little old man who spoke, and he threw a large stack of banknotes in his hand in front of Lu Xiaofeng, saying: "Here is 1.35 million taels, even if I lent you, it's not enough I still have as many as I want." Lu Xiaofeng was both surprised and delighted, and said, "When did you become so generous?" The little old man said with a smile: "Not only do you have a good credit for borrowing money, but you also pay high interest. If I don't lend it to you, who will I lend it to?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "If I lose this round and die again, where will you go for the debt?" The little old man said: "No matter what business you do, you have to take some risks!" Niu Tang said: "The risk this time is too great, I'm afraid I will lose all my money." The little old man said indifferently: "My money is already too much to be moldy, even if I really lose all my money, it doesn't matter." The gambling capital suddenly increased by 1,350,000 taels, not only Lu Xiaofeng's spirits were lifted, but the others even smiled, as if they had already regarded this stack of banknotes as their own pockets, seven or eight hands stretched out together, gold Immediately, the table was filled with pearl and silver bills, and there were at least a million taels. In a paper box next to it, there are dozens of unused dice neatly placed. Lu Xiaofeng picked up three dice and was about to throw them down when he suddenly shook his head and muttered to himself: "The dice here are a little tricky, just like fleas, they will jump up for no reason, no matter how big the idea is, it can't stand it One jump, I have to think of a way." He suddenly picked up a golden cup from behind, drank the wine in one gulp, threw down the dice in his right hand, and covered the golden cup in his left hand, only to hear the dice ringing under the golden cup, Lu Xiaofeng said: "Look at this time Can you still dance?" Old pedant, mustache, you look at me, I look at you, no one was on guard against his move. When the golden cup was lifted, the three dice had stopped, and it was indeed three sixes. Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly, and said: "Three six one eighteen, kill them all!" After the seven words were finished, he swept away all the gold, pearls and silver notes on the table. Xiao Huzi sighed, and said with a wry smile: "This time, you really killed me, and I have been killed by you with all my capital and profits." Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's not a loss if you gamble, come again." Mustache sighed again, and said, "Today we don't even have the money to gamble, so how can we gamble?" He glanced at Lu Xiaofeng out of the corner of his eye, and sighed very loudly. Although he didn't go on, the meaning was already obvious. A person as generous as Lu Xiaofeng, under such circumstances, should have taken out the winnings and borrowed a little from each of them, so that everyone can continue to gamble. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaofeng was completely breathless, swept all the bank notes on the table, stood up immediately, and said with a smile: "If you don't gamble today, there will be tomorrow. As long as I don't die, you will always have a chance to make money." Mustache said: "What if you die?" Lu Xiaofeng also sighed, and said: "If I die, I'm afraid these bank notes will have to be put into the coffin with me." He first took out 1.4 million taels and returned them to the little old man, and calculated that he had more than 900,000 taels left. The little old man smiled and said: "I made fifty thousand taels in one go, this kind of business can be done next time." Lu Xiaofeng counted the remaining banknotes again, and suddenly asked: "If you have 930,000 taels, are you willing to kill someone for 50,000 taels of silver?" The little old man said: "Then it depends on who killed it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "What if you killed yourself?" The little old man said: "No one would do such a thing." Lu Xiaofeng said: "So I won't do it either!" He returned the 50,000 taels of silver note he had prepared to the beef soup: "You should hire someone else!" Before he finished his sentence, his men had already arrived at the bridge, and he laughed loudly: "Whether you want my money or my life, you can find them anytime, anyway, I can't escape." After saying this, his people had already got into the flowers, and they couldn't even see them. Everyone watched him walk away, but they didn't stop him. The sky is full of sunset and the flowers are brilliant. Lu Xiaofeng was really happy in his heart, no matter what, he finally returned home with a full reward today. As for whether others will look for him in the future?Can he run?That is all in the future, even if you eat pancakes, you will inevitably choke to death, who can control so much in the future? He had already seen the way out, but he turned seven times and eight times among the flowers, and after a dozen circles, he still couldn't find the flower path he came in. When he looked up, the twilight was already deep. The setting sun had already disappeared behind the west mountain, and the valley was completely dark, and even the Jiuqu Bridge just now could not be found. He stopped, gathered himself together, looked for a direction, and walked for another half an hour. He was still in the flowers, jumped onto the flowers, looked around, there were still flowers outside the flowers, and he couldn't see anything except the flowers. The shadows of the flowers have gradually blurred. There is not even a little light in the valley, and there are no stars and moonlight.The scent of the flower is very strong, although it is fragrant and sweet, but he has been so smoked that even his head is a little dizzy. Don't people in this place light their lights at night? If he just passed through the flowers like this, wouldn't it be like a blind man riding a blind horse, falling into a trap without knowing when, and dying in vain. Anyone should be able to see that this place is by no means just for people to come and go freely. If he wants to leave, others will let him go, maybe it's just because others have already determined that he can't leave at all. Everyone in this place, except for the little old man, is a martial arts master with unique skills, but they have never shown their faces in the arena. Even if they walked around in the rivers and lakes, no one would be able to see their martial arts. Lu Xiaofeng's eyesight has always been good, but this time when he encountered beef soup, he lost his sight. That one-eyed old fisherman and that horse-faced man probably both died at the hands of Niu Niu Tang! After the horse-faced man died in the sea, when Lu Xiaofeng went to take a bath, didn't the beef soup happen to take a bath there? The old fox's boat might leave at any time, and even if the people on the boat came down for a stroll, they would never go to take a bath at that time, unless she just happened to kill someone in the sea. When the one-eyed old fisherman drowned, it happened that only beef soup had a chance to kill. Although Lu Xiaofeng finally understands many things now, there are still many things he doesn't understand. Why did she kill those two people?Why did those two plot against Yue Yang?What is the relationship between Yue Yang and her?How did he know that the old fox's boat would capsize? Lu Xiaofeng sighed, only felt that the smell of pickled radishes in the firewood house at the back of Wudang was better than the scent of flowers here. He had already begun to regret it a little, maybe he should really listen to Yue Yang and not get on the old fox's boat, then he is probably already on Fusang Island, drinking premium sake with gentle and obedient girls in his arms. I heard that the "Yueguiguan" and "Daimyo" wines there are both good. Just like the girls there, they are sweet in the mouth but have a lot of stamina. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help sighing again, and was about to find a place among the flowers to sleep first, when he suddenly saw a light in front of him. In the boundless darkness, a light that suddenly lights up is much cuter than the six on the dice. Lu Xiaofeng immediately rushed towards the lamp like a moth, even if he was going to be burned to death by the flame on the lamp, he didn't care. At least it is better to die in the light than to live in darkness forever. The light is coming from a carved window! Where there are windows, of course there is a house. A three-light and two-dark flower pavilion, Zhulan corridor, the building is extremely gorgeous and exquisite. A window was propped up obliquely, and from a distance, nine people could be seen in the room. One sits, eight stand. The person sitting with a white face and a slight beard, wearing a brocade robe and pearl crown, is looking at a painting under the lamp. The eight people standing there looked respectful and silent, apparently they were his servants. These nine people were not in the water pavilion just now, and their attire seemed to be much more noble than the people there. Lu Xiaofeng still couldn't see where they came from, and of course he didn't dare to break in casually. There is a pool in the yard, the water is clear to the bottom, the light shines on, the water waves reflect, and there seems to be a person lying there motionless at the bottom of the pool. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but walked over to have a look, there was indeed a person below, with his eyes turned white, he was also looking straight up. Except for dead fish, no one would look at people like this! Lu Xiaofeng was startled first, then heaved a sigh of relief, this person is already dead! "Who is he? How did he die here?" Lu Xiaofeng thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized something was wrong, after a person died, he would definitely float up, why would he always sink to the bottom of the water? It seems that there are many strange facts in this place. "Whether he is alive or dead, what does it matter to me?" Lu Xiaofeng decided to ignore this matter, and was about to walk away, when suddenly he heard a plop, something flew towards him from a distance, and fell into the pool, it was a black cat. As soon as the water splashed, the people at the bottom of the pool jumped up like fish, holding a thin knife in their hand, and cut through the water soundlessly. With a flash of light, the knife had pierced into the black cat's belly. The cat died before it could utter a meow, and the man sank to the bottom of the pool again, lying motionless, looking completely dead again! Although killing a cat was not a big deal, but this person's actions were too fast, and his actions were too weird and surreptitious, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help shivering when he saw it. A pair of dead fish-like eyes in the pool stared at him again, as if they also regarded him as a black cat. Lu Xiaofeng turned around suddenly and darted into the window. No matter what, the person sitting under the lamp looking at the painting is cuter than the person lying at the bottom of the pool waiting to kill the cat. The light was not too bright, and the man was still sitting there concentrating, still looking at the painting! In fact, Lu Xiaofeng had long wanted to see what was actually painted on the painting. A painting that allowed a person to concentrate on it for so long must be somewhat worth seeing. He had already calculated the position, and he swept into the window, turned over in the air, and landed right in front of this person's case. He had already thought of a few polite words that would make people happy, and he only hoped that when this person was happy, instead of driving him away, he would bring out good wine to entertain him. Who knows that he didn't even say a word of these words, he didn't have a chance to speak at all. The moment he landed on the ground, the eight standing people rushed towards him at the same time. Although the movements of these eight people were not very agile, they cooperated seamlessly and did not leak any water. Some of the eight people punched, some kicked, some split their palms, some crossed their arms, and they rushed over from all directions, surrounded Lu Xiaofeng in the middle in an instant, and struck with eight moves in unison, all of them were fatal killers. Lu Xiaofeng passed six moves, then punched and palmed, and was about to explain, telling them to wait and do it slowly. But as soon as he caught the palm of one of them, he realized that no matter how he explained it, it would be useless, because these eight people would definitely not be able to hear him! These eight people were surprisingly all wooden people. There are also many kinds of wooden figures, and one is even scarier than human beings. Although Lu Xiaofeng has never fought in the Wooden Figure Alley in Shaolin Temple, he has seen Shaolin disciples who were injured and disabled in the Wooden Figure Alley, and some of them have practiced their martial arts very well. He has always wondered why a living person would be wounded in the wooden man's hand? If it wasn't for Master Tiejian's repeated dissuasion, he would have long wanted to go to Shaolin Temple to learn how powerful those wooden figures are. Now he finally got his lesson. These eight people were undoubtedly created according to the principle of Shaolin Wooden Man Alley. They are more exquisite and domineering than the wooden ox and horse used by Zhuge when he conquered the barbarians. Out of Shaolin Shenquan, set up the formation of Arhats. This kind of arhat formation is originally Shaolin's unique skill in suppressing mountains. In the past, the blood god son of the demon sect went to Mount Song alone and defeated the seven eminent monks of Shaolin in a row, but was trapped in the arhat formation. He was exhausted and exhausted to death. Since then, the prestige of Arhat Array has been known all over the world, and no one in the world dares to offend Shaolin lightly. This kind of formation is even more powerful when it is deployed in the hands of the wooden man, because the wooden man cannot be killed. Even if you break one of its arms or one of its thighs, it will not fall down, and the formation will not be dead. no damage. But when it punches you, you can't bear it, so you can have no scruples when it punches and moves. You can neither dodge nor fight hard. It is as difficult as climbing the sky. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized that he only had to be beaten, until he was beaten to death. You hit it, it doesn't hurt at all, it hits you, but you hurt like hell, you can't kill it, but it can kill you. This style of play is really not a business strategy, just like robbers going to court, no one wins. What's more, even if he wins the fight, it's nothing. Even if he beats the eight wooden figures to pieces, it's useless to chop them into pieces for firewood. Lu Xiaofeng has always been unwilling to do this kind of stupid thing, but it's a pity that he can't do it now if he wants to. The wind of the wooden man's fist was whistling, and the lights on the table were flickered and might go out at any time. It is extremely stupid to fight with a few wooden men in the dark. The white-faced scholar in the brocade robe and pearl crown rolled his eyes around, as if he couldn't help but laugh. This man is also a wooden man. How could the eyeballs of the wooden man turn around?And it seems to be following the fists and feet of its eight attendants. Could it also understand Shaolin's boxing? Lu Xiaofeng stared in a daze, lost in thought, his eyes couldn't help turning around, and suddenly heard a "bang", he was punched in the head, almost blowing out his brains. Although his brain was not blown out, his inspiration was. When the fist hit his head, the wooden scholar's eyeballs stopped for a moment, and when the fist moved again, his eyeballs moved again. Between the fists and feet of these eight people and its eyeballs, there seemed to be an invisible thread connecting them. Lu Xiaofeng made a move suddenly, with his two fingers, he broke two fingers of the wooden man. He heard a "chi", two wooden fingers popped out of his fingers, and two "poof", they hit the wooden scholar's eyes. Of course the wooden figure didn't feel any pain, it just sat there without moving, but the other eight wooden figures suddenly fell down. Lu Xiaofeng swept out of the window. The eight wooden figures collapsed into one piece, but he never looked back. He didn't want to appreciate his brilliant achievements. Even if he defeated 880,000 wooden men, his face would not be half bright. As long as he could walk out of this room intact, he would be lucky. After the fight, he finally didn't lack anything, but there were a few things more—a few bruises on the back of his shoulders, and a large tumor on his head. In addition, this incident also taught him a good lesson—— The moment he came out of the window, he had sworn to himself hundreds of times that even if he had to fight someone in the future, at least he had to see clearly who the other party was. Greet you for a while, if you are a wooden person, you will run away quickly. While he was thinking about this lesson, a second one followed. He suddenly found that the lotus pond was under his feet. It's hard to be beaten with a black nose and a swollen face by a wooden man, but wouldn't it be more unjust to be stabbed in the chest like a cat? Although he didn't look down, he could still feel those dead fish-like eyes staring at him. And that sharp knife that is thinner than paper. If a person is already falling, whether it is the body or the soul, it is not easy to get up again. Now that he had used up his breath, he must have fallen into the pool when he took another breath. The moment he took a breath, the knife must have pierced his lung.When the blade was pulled out, he must have floated up like a dead cat, and just like the one-eyed old fisherman with the horse face, there must be no trace of blood on his body, and others would think he fell into the pond drunk drowned. Although this method of death is quick and painless, it is still very unfair. Unexpectedly, before he fell into the water, someone had already emerged from the water.A cold light flickered in his hand, and it was a short knife with a blade as thin as paper. Not only did this person attack quickly and viciously, but he could also lie motionless on the bottom of the water and stare at people. If it was on land, Lu Xiaofeng might be able to deal with his knife, but in water, Lu Xiaofeng could not do it at all. It's a pity that he moved too fast this time. Although Lu Xiaofeng couldn't jump up again, it wouldn't be too difficult to sink down quickly, and sink deeper. There was only a plop, and as soon as his body fell into the pool, he sank, and he fell into the water. Carp straightened up and hugged the man's leg tightly. The man didn't struggle at all, and the knife didn't stab back. Although Lu Xiaofeng's movements in the water were slower, it could not be considered too slow. In this instant, he had already pinched the acupuncture points on the joints of this person's legs and dragged him into the bottom of the water. The light came faintly from the surface of the water, this man's face was convulsed and distorted, his eyes were bulging, and he had already been strangled to death. Just now Lu Xiaofeng thought he was a dead person, who knew he was alive, now Lu Xiaofeng thought he was a living person, who knew he was dead. He spent so much effort, but what he dealt with was just a dead person, which really made him a little dumbfounded. Fortunately, no one else saw him under the pool, so he quickly let go of the man's legs and jumped out of the water, when he heard someone clapping his hands and laughing, he said, "What a skill, you even drowned the dead, I admire you." Sitting by the pool alone, with a bare head and bare feet, he is an honest monk. There were still drops of water on his bald head, and his tattered monk clothes were also dripping wet, obviously he had just come out of the water. Lu Xiaofeng gave him a hard look, and said, "It turns out that monks also know how to kill." The honest monk smiled and said, "The monk doesn't kill people, but he mistook him for a fish, so he missed." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is this also the truth?" The honest monk sighed and said, "It seems not." Lu Xiaofeng also laughed, jumped out of the pool, sat down beside him, and asked, "Why hasn't the monk left yet?" The honest monk said, "Why haven't you left yet?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I can't go." The honest monk sighed: "Even you can't go, how can the monk go?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why did the monk come?" The honest monk said: "If the monk does not go to hell, whoever goes to hell!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You know this is hell? What are you doing here? What kind of person is that Ninth Young Master? How did he put you in the box?" The honest monk stopped talking. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since you know, why didn't you tell?" The honest monk shook his head and murmured: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked out. The Buddha said: Don't tell it, don't tell it." Lu Xiaofeng was in a hurry, he jumped up suddenly, his hand was like lightning, he pinched his nose, and said: "You really don't want to say?" The honest monk's nose was pinched, he could neither shake his head nor speak, he could only point to his own nose and pant. Lu Xiaofeng sneered and said: "You are greedy for life and afraid of death, betraying your friends, and doing things that don't care about your nose, I might as well just pinch your nose and let it go." Although he spoke fiercely, his subordinates showed mercy.The honest monk finally let out his breath, and said with a wry smile: "Although the monk is afraid of death, he dare not betray his friends." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why do you want me to die for you?" The honest monk said: "Because I know you will not die." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?" The honest monk said: "I can see that the big boss has decided to accept you as his son-in-law." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who is the big boss?" The honest monk said: "Do you think the person standing over there is not the big boss?" He casually pointed to the front, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but follow his finger to look forward, but his people shot back like arrows, turned over in the air, and fell into the darkness. The honest monk's lightness kung fu is one of the best in the Jianghu. But Lu Xiaofeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he chased after him as soon as he twisted his waist. Although the night was very dark, although he was a step late, he could vaguely see the figure of the honest monk flying in front of him. In fact, he didn't really want to pinch the honest monk's nose, but in such an unfamiliar place, it would be more reassuring to have an acquaintance by his side, just like a person who fell into the water, and when he saw a broken board, he would Hold on tight. Although the honest monk escaped quickly, he did not chase slowly, and the distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer. There was another light ahead. The light comes from a very tall house with high ridges and overhanging eaves, like a Taoist temple or a grand yamen. Of course there is no yamen in this place, the honest monk suddenly threw a flying swallow into the forest and rushed into this temple. Lu Xiaofeng laughed in his heart: "Now you really run away from the monk, not the temple." He didn't care what happened, but he also chased him in. The courtyard was deserted, but the hall was brightly lit. A dignified high-ranking official was sitting behind a grand table, under the silence signs on both sides, with his hands down. Several flag guards stood standing, as well as a fast-moving officer wearing a red tasseled cap and holding a ghost knife. This place is not a temple, but a yamen. But how could there be noble officials from the imperial court stationed in such a place?Of course this yamen is fake, and these people are of course wooden people. As soon as he saw the wooden figure, Lu Xiaofeng's head was as big as a bucket, no matter whether the honest monk was hiding inside or not, he wanted to slip away. Unexpectedly, the senior official behind the case suddenly slapped the gavel and said loudly: "Lu Xiaofeng, since you're here, where do you want to go?" 两旁的卫士差役也立刻呐喊助威：“你还想往哪里走？” 原来这里的人竟没有一个是木头人。 陆小凤反而沉住了气，在他看来，活人还是不及木头人可怕的。 他居然真的不走了，大步走进去，仔细看了看，堂上的高官穿着身唐时的一品朝服，头戴着紫金冠，竟是那位好酒贪杯的贺尚书。 只不过此刻他手里拿着的已不是酒杯，而是块惊堂木。 陆小凤笑了：“原来是四明狂客贺先生，是不是又想请我喝酒？” 贺尚书的眼睛里虽然还有醉意，但表情却很严肃，板着脸道：“你到了刑部大堂，竟还敢如此放肆？” 陆小凤道：“这里是刑部大堂？” 贺尚书道：“不错。” 陆小凤笑道：“你不但错了，而且大错特错。” 贺尚书道：“错在哪里？” 陆小凤道：“贺知章是礼部尚书，怎么会坐在刑部大堂里？” 他对贺知章的事迹本来也不太清楚，只不过想唬唬人而已，谁知竟歪打正着。 其实贺知章活着的时候，官职最高只做到礼部侍郎兼集贤院学士，后来又坐从工部，肃宗为太子时，方迁宾客，授秘书监，老来时却做了千秋观的道士，连礼部尚书都是在他死后追赠的。 可是他一生未曾入过刑部，倒是千真万确的事。 这位冒牌的贺尚书脸色果然已有些尴尬，竟恼羞成怒，重重的一拍惊堂木，道：“我这贺尚书就偏要坐在刑部大堂里，你能怎么样？” 陆小凤苦笑道：“我不能怎么样，你爱坐在哪里，就坐在哪里，跟我连一点关系都没有。” 贺尚书道：“有关系！” 陆小凤道：“跟我有什么关系？” 贺尚书道：“我到这里来，就是为了要审问你！” 陆小凤又笑了，道：“我又没犯罪，你审什么？问什么？” 贺尚书又用力一拍惊堂木，厉声道：“到了这里，你还不认错？” 陆小凤道：“我只知道我惟一做错的事，就是走错了地方，交错了朋友。” 贺尚书怒道：“你得人钱财，失约反悔，又聚赌行骗，拐款而逃，你难道还不知罪？” 陆小凤想了想，道：“失约反悔的事，好像倒是有的。” 贺尚书道：“当然有，你收了别人五万两银子，就该完成合约，这件事铁证如山，你想赖也赖不了。” 陆小凤道：“我倒也不想赖，只不过唆使杀人的罪，岂非比我的罪更大？你为什么不先把她抓来审问审问？” 贺尚书道：“我偏偏就要先审你，你能怎么样？” 陆小凤苦笑道：“酒鬼坐刑堂，我当然是强盗打官司，有输无赢的了。” 贺尚书道：“你失约反悔，是第一大罪；聚赌行骗，是第二大罪；咆哮公堂，是第三大罪。现在三罪齐发，你是认打？还是认罚？” 陆小凤道：“若是认打怎么样？” 贺尚书道：“若是认打，我就叫人重重的打，打死为止。” 陆小凤道：“若是认罚呢？” 贺尚书道：“那么我就判你三十年苦役，我叫你干什么，你就得干什么！” 陆小凤道：“若是既不想认打，也不想认罚呢？” 贺尚书怔了怔，好像想不到他居然会有这么样的一问。 陆小凤却替他下了判决：“若是这么样，我当然只有赶快脚底抹油，溜之大吉。” 私设公堂，自封尚书，这些本都是很滑稽的事。 但陆小凤却知道，在这地方无论多滑稽的事，都可能变得很严重的，你若以为他们说要判你三十年苦役，只不过是说着玩的，你就错了。 可是他也看得出这些活人并不见得比木头人容易对付，这位四明狂客虽然有些装疯卖傻，无疑也是个身怀绝技的高手。 他惟一对付的法子，就是赶紧开溜，溜得越快越好，越远越好。 陆小凤的轻功，就连司空摘星都未必能比得上。在这方面，他也一向对自己很有信心。 几个起落后，他已掠出了公堂，掠出了二三十丈，刚想停下来喘口气，就听见后面有人冷冷道：“你的轻功很不错，只可惜你就算真的能长出双翅膀来，也万万跑不了。” 他听得出这是贺尚书的声音。 贺尚书竟一直都像影子般贴在他身后，距离他还不到一丈。 这位疯疯癫癫的四明狂客，轻功竟远比他想像中还要高得多。 他用尽身法，无论往哪里走，贺尚书还是像影子般在跟着他。 前面水波如镜，他忽然发现自己又回到了刚才那水池，水中的尸身却已不见了，也不知那个人是不是又死而复活？还是根本就没有死？ 这地方的人，是活是死，是真是假，本来就不太容易分得清。 贺尚书忽然道：“就算你跳下水池去，我也一样会追下去，就算你进入龙宫去，也一样是逃不了的。” 陆小凤本来并不想跳下水去的，水里说不定又有个长双鱼眼的人，手里拿着把薄刀在等着他。 可是听了贺尚书这句话，他却反而跳下去了，一个鱼鹰入水式，就已沉入池底，等了半天，上面果然连一点反应都没有。 两个人吵架的时候，一个人若是说：“你有种就跟我打一架，看我怕不怕？” 那么这个人心里一定怕得要命，若是不怕，就早已动手了，就因为怕，才会这么说。 贺尚书若是不怕他跳下水去，也绝不会忽然说那句话的。 这道理陆小凤当然明白得很。 他又等了半天，才敢伸头出水换口气，立刻就发现贺尚书还在池旁等着他，也不知从哪里弄了瓶酒来，正在那里喝得高兴，嘴里还在喃喃自语：“你泡在冷水里，我坐在上面喝酒，随便你想耗到什么时候，我都奉陪的。” 等到陆小凤第二次出水去换气的时候，他居然又找了条钓竿来，坐在那里一面喝酒，一面钓鱼，实在是件很风雅的事。 陆小凤虽然并不太有耐性，但是叫他坐在那里喝酒钓鱼，钓上个三天三夜，他也不反对的。 只可惜他并不是钓鱼的人，而是条迟早要被人钓上的鱼。 更遗憾的是，他又偏偏不能像鱼一样在水里呼吸。 等到他第三次出水换气的时候，就有条带着鱼钩的钓丝向他飞了过来，若不是他躲得快，就算不被钩走，脸上的肉也要被钩去一块。 看来这位贺尚书不但轻功高明，内力也极深厚，竟能将真力贯注在钓丝上，伤人于百步之外。 这水池既不太深，又不太大，陆小风的头无论从哪里伸出去，钓丝都可能飞过来钩住他。 钓丝上的鱼钩闪闪发光，就等于是件极厉害的外门兵器。 这次他虽然躲了过去，下次就未必有这么好的运气了。 一个人若是只能将脑袋伸出水面，实在就像是个箭靶子一样，因为他整个人都在水里，只有头能动，随便怎么动都快不了的。 幸好他总算练过气功，一口气总憋得比别人长些，就在他又开始挺不住的时候，他忽然看见水池里又多了一个人。 水面上一直没有动静，也没有听见落水的声音，这个人绝不是从上面跳下来的。 那么这个人是从哪里来的？ 陆小凤躲在水池边的一块石块后，这个人居然没有看见他，好像也根本没有想到水里还会有别人，双足一挺，已窜出水面，动作轻快，姿势优美，看来也是水中的好手。 但是陆小凤却知道，只要他的头一伸出去，就有苦头吃了。 水波乍分，水面上果然立刻传来一声惊呼，这个游鱼般生猛活跃的人，一双腿忽然挺直，显然已被钓丝勒住了脖子。 陆小凤也没工夫同情他，立刻向他出现的那个地方游了过去，果然找到了一个可以容人钻进去的洞穴，洞穴上正有块石板在往下沉。 石板一关，这洞穴就不见了。 洞穴里究竟是什么地方？为什么做得如此隐秘？里面是不是还有别的人？ 陆小凤也没功夫去考虑，用尽平生之力，一下子窜了过去，钻入了洞里，只听“格”的一声响。 四面更黑暗，连自己的手都看不见了。 陆小凤本来以为自己总算找到条出路，谁知他虽然出了龙潭，却进了地狱。 现在他才真的后悔，只可惜现在后悔已太迟。 这地狱里虽然没有灼人的火焰，但四面却是水，无论他往哪边游，连换气的地方都没有，就这么样被活活的闷死在水里，倒不如索性烧死反而痛快些。 他正在急得发疯的时候，上面又是“格”的一响，一道亮光射下来，竟露出扇门户。 就算这扇门是直达地狱的，他也不管了，一下子窜上去，上面竟是条用石板砌成的地道，连一滴水都没有。 地道中虽然也很阴森可怖，在他说来，却已无异到了天堂。 这一夜间他遇见的事，简直就好像做梦一样，他看见的死人是活人，活人却是死人，真人是木头人，木头人却是真人。 他简直已晕头转向，现在才总算喘过一口气来。 地道里燃着灯，却没有人。 他拧干了身上衣服，就开始往前走，走一步，算一步，不管走到哪里去，他都已只有听天由命。 地道的尽头，是道铁门。 门居然没有锁。 他试探着敲了敲门，没有回应，他就用力拉开门走进去，里面是间很宽阔的石室，竟堆了大大小小、各式各样的佛像和木鱼。 Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded. 这么隐秘的地方，原来只不过是堆木鱼，这种事说来有谁相信？ 更令人难以相信，这些木鱼和佛像，竟都是老狐狸那条船运来的，他全都见过，船沉了之后，木鱼和佛像怎么会都到了这里？ 陆小凤长长吐了口气，在心里警告自己，最好赶快走，走得越远越好，就当作从来也没有到过这里，从来也没有看过这些木鱼。 他已看出这些木鱼和佛像中，必定隐藏着一个极大的秘密。 他本来也许还能想法子活下去，另人若是知道他已发觉了这秘密，也许，就不会再让他有开口说话的机会了。 他的想法很正确，只可惜他现在根本无路可退，何况他的好奇心早已被引起，叫他就这么样退出去，他实在也有点不甘心的。 木鱼里究竟有什么秘密？ 他知道木鱼里面都是空的，他也曾从沙滩上捡过好几个，都被他剖成了两半，改成了木碗和木勺子。 可是只要有点头脑的人，都绝不会辛辛苦苦的从沉船中捞起这些空木鱼，再辛辛苦苦运来这里，藏到如此隐秘的地方，还派个人睁大眼睛躲在外面的水池里看守着，无论是人是猫，只要一进水池，就给他一刀。 这地方的人，看来都是很有头脑的人，为什么会做这种事？ 陆小凤忍不住拾起个木鱼，敲了敲，里面也是空的，再摇了摇，这个木鱼竟好像发出了一连串很悦耳的响声。 那把夜壶刀还在他身上，他立刻掏出来，将这木鱼剖成两半。 只听哗啦啦的一声响，十几样东西从木鱼里掉下来，竟都是光华夺目的宝石和碧玉。 Lu Xiaofeng was stupid again. 他一向识货，当然看得出这些宝石和碧玉都是价值不菲的上等货色。 你随便从里面挑一块，随便送给哪个女孩子，她一定都会变得很听话的——像牛肉汤那种不喜欢珠宝的女孩子，世上毕竟不多。 他再剖开一个木鱼，里面竟全都是小指甲盖那么大的珍珠。 石室中至少有三四百个木鱼，里面若都是宝石珠玉，一共能值多少银子？ 陆小凤简直连算都不敢去算。 他并不是财迷，可是这么大笔财富忽然到了自己面前，无论谁都难免会觉得有点心慌意乱的。 木鱼里是珠宝，佛像里是什么？ 佛像也是空的，他找了个比人还大的佛像，先用他的夜壶刀将中间的合缝处撬开，心里只希望里面真是空的。 这么一尊佛像里，如果也装满了珠宝，那简直就比最荒唐的梦还荒唐了。 “格”的一声，佛像已被他扳开了一条缝，里面并没有珠宝漏出来。 他叹了口气，也不知是庆幸？Still disappointed? 忽然听见佛像里仿佛也有人叹了一口气。 这佛像是木头做的，怎么会有人叹气？ 今天一夜间他遇见的怪事虽然已比别人八十年遇见的还要多，听见了这声叹息，他还是不免大吃一惊。 就在这时，佛像中已有个人扑了出来，一下子扼住了他咽喉，一双手冰冰冷冷，也不知是妖怪，还是僵尸？ 陆小凤就算有天大胆子，也几乎被吓得晕了过去。 他没有晕过去，只因为这双手刚扼住他咽喉，就变得软软绵绵的，一点力气都没有。 他定定神，张开眼，就看见面前也有一双眼睛在看着他。 眼睛下面当然还有鼻子，鼻子下面当然还有嘴。 这个人的嘴唇动了动，忽然说了三个字：“陆小凤。” 佛像里居然藏着个人，已经是不可思议的怪事。 这尊佛像被装上老狐狸的船，等到船沉，再被运到这里来，前后至少已有三四十天。 佛像里藏着这个人，居然还没有死，居然还能够说话，居然还认得他就是陆小凤！ 陆小凤这一夜间遇见的怪事，加起来也没有这一件奇怪。 更奇怪的是，他居然也认得这个人。 这个人竟是镖局业中资格比“铁掌金刀”司徒刚更老、实力更大、名气也更响的大通镖局的总镖头“大力神鹰”葛通。 淮南鹰爪的大力鹰爪功从来不传外姓，葛通却是惟一的例外。
