Chapter 4 The fourth time true true false false

Gongsun's left foot cursed angrily and sneered repeatedly, and the iron crutch in his hand hit the white-robed scholar like a hurricane. Not only was his move as fast as lightning, but also fierce and ruthless, and he had no defense at all. It was a desperate look, and he had put his own life and death aside. In an instant, the leaves in the forest were stirred up by the wind of his iron crutches like a rain of flowers, fluttering and falling. The white-robed scholar was still at a loss.He searched all over his memory, but he couldn't remember what he had done before, because Gongsun's left foot scolded him, he didn't even know if he had done it, "bloody... bloody..." he thought to himself , "Could it be that those corpses were killed by me?"

With a fluttering figure and leading Guan Ning, he calmly dodged the move of Gongsun's left foot, but did not fight back. Gongsun sneered with his left foot, "Splitting Huayue with strength", "Splitting the sky with a stone", "Five Dings breaking the mountain", three moves in a row, the wind is like a hurricane, it really has the potential to split the mountain and split the rock. Although "Junshan Shuangxian" is famous for his lightness kung fu, all the moves he used at the moment are extremely domineering moves, and he sneered again and again.Seeing that the white-robed scholar was only defending but not attacking, he felt more and more convinced that he had done something wrong, so he didn't dare to fight back.

Guan Ning couldn't help himself, and following the figure of the white-robed scholar, he felt that the wind around his body was like a knife, and the wind in his palm was turning around, passing by him continuously. Then there will be the disaster of bones breaking and soul flying. Although he is not a coward, at this moment he couldn't help being so frightened that his whole body was covered with cold sweat, he thought to himself: "Could it be that this Gongsun left foot mistakenly thinks that this white-robed scholar is the murderer of the tragedy in Siming Villa?" Looking up, I saw Gongsun's left foot and eye canthus tearing apart, looking like a mad tiger, he couldn't help but tremble, and shouted loudly: "Senior, please stop, and listen to Xiao Ke's explanation..."

Gongsun's left foot sneered, and with a swipe of the ground, he hit Guan Ning head-on, and shouted, "What else do you have to say? Humph, I only thought you were an upright young man, but I didn't expect that you were also a liar." Shameless bastard." Under his grief and resentment, he did not give anyone a chance to speak. Guan Ning could only feel the wind whistling beside his ears, and seeing that the iron crutch with such force was about to hit him on the head, he sighed secretly in his heart, before he had time to think about it, he felt his arms tense, His feet slipped, and his body involuntarily staggered a little. The iron crutch that was about to hit him fell short again.

Until now, he still couldn't figure out how this Gongsun's left foot would kill him, so he calmed down and shouted: "Senior Gongsun, there must be some misunderstanding about this matter, wait for Xiaoke—" Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zuozu was filled with grief and indignation at the moment, he didn't even give him a chance to speak, and shouted: "My Gongsun Zuozu has never been fooled by anyone in my life, I can't imagine that today the boat capsized in the gutter, and it fell on your hands." As the suzerain of a faction, with his status, he shouldn't have said such words of a commoner, but at this moment, he has already confirmed that the murderer of Siming Villa, in the whole world, except for this white-robed scholar, There is no second person who can do it, and he believes that Guan Ning must be the henchman of this white-robed scholar. What he said to himself just now is just to fool himself, so that he will never be able to find out who is the real murderer, so he can't help but He hated Guan Ning to the bone.

This heart of hatred and pain inspired him to be reckless when he was young. At this moment, he yelled and cursed loudly. Although the sound of cursing was as fast as popping beans, the effort between these few words was overwhelming. Seven moves, it's a pity that this white-robed scholar's movements are strange and fast, like a ghost, although the moves are fierce and fierce, he can't do anything about them. The figure of the white-robed scholar flickered, there was no need to worry about his own safety in his heart, he just dodged these moves logically, as if it was a matter of course, and he didn't feel forced at all.

He stared blankly at the crazy lame beggar in front of him, couldn't help frowning and asked, "What are you doing?" Gongsun clenched his teeth on his left foot, and the iron crutches in his hands were still screaming like a violent storm, with his chest rising and falling, but it was far more rapid than before. This leader of the beggar gang, who is famous all over the world for his light martial arts, not only discarded the essence of his lifetime martial arts, but also discarded all the norms of martial arts. And without sparing any effort, once these dozens of tricks have been passed, his true energy will inevitably feel unsustainable.

Guan Ning was thinking to himself how to stop his attack, but this strange man from the Beggar Clan suddenly yelled, took five steps back, and all the wind and shadows filled the sky, all of which disappeared. The white-robed scholar stretched his eyebrows, and his flickering figure also came to a sudden stop, standing upright like a mountain, as if he had never moved while standing there.This change between movement and stillness is really the essence of martial arts.Although Guan Ning didn't understand it very well, he couldn't help but secretly sighed in admiration. Then he realized that his figure also stopped suddenly. on the ground, and then the forest fell silent again.

But he saw Gongsun's left foot crutch, and there was another bang in the forest that had returned to silence. The white-robed scholar looked at him blankly again, and asked slowly, "What are you doing?" The eyelid on Gongsun's left foot, which was slightly drooping, suddenly lifted at this moment.After dozens of tricks, he already knew that even if he tried his best, he couldn't do anything to others. He didn't regret his death, but once he died, wouldn't this secret be revealed forever? Because he lowered his eyelids, firstly he suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, and secondly, he adjusted the breath of the zhenqi in his body that was about to collapse. Now when he opened his eyes, he said coldly: "What are you doing?"

The white-robed scholar was stunned, but he heard Gongsun's left foot coldly say: "You know that I have exposed your secret, but you are still standing there? Hehe, if I were you, you should kill me with a knife. Say Why, although your martial arts are high, is it better than all martial arts in the world?" The white-robed scholar was still in a daze, but Guan Ning knew what he meant, and couldn't help blurting out: "Senior Gongsun, although Xiao Ke didn't witness the murder in Siming Villa, he can tell Others have done it, if the old senior is so arbitrary, don't you want to teach the real murderer to laugh at you?"

Gongsun's left foot shone, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. The laughter was full of sorrow and indignation. He stretched out his withered and dark finger, pointed at the white-robed scholar and laughed wildly: "Under the world, Besides you, who else can kill 'Siming Hongpao', 'Junshan Shuangxian', 'Luofu Caiyi', 'Zhongnan Wushan' together? In the whole world, besides you, Who can hurt you—" He laughed terribly three times, and said again: "This time Siming Hongpao came here to invite my brother Wushan Duxing, Luofu Caiyi and other old men to come out of the mountain. , and there is another matter to be discussed, I wonder why there are no such people as Huang Guan and Mrs. Cuixiu, especially the Siming Hongpao couple and these two people are the best friends, this kind of request Why didn't you find them?" His voice paused slightly, as if he was suppressing the grief and indignation in his heart again. After closing his eyes for a while, Fang Zi laughed wildly and said, "It's only now that I remembered that this red-robed boy hadn't forgotten how many times he met us at the top of Mount Tai fifteen years ago." The little bit of grievance formed here is actually in collusion with you, trying to lure us all here, laying traps, trying to catch us all—haha, where is there any 'Ruyi Qingqian', and where is there any confidential matter! The human way 'Siming Hongpao' is the most cunning. I saw his couple look handsome and handsome before, but I still didn't believe it. Until now—haha, although they are cunning, they are still not as good as yours. They are so vicious, they would never have imagined that you would kill both of them at the same time!" He laughed wildly and cursed repeatedly, and Guan Ning couldn't help but be moved by it. "Is this really the case?" Looking around, I saw the white-robed scholar lowering his gaze, muttering to himself in a daze, "Could it be me? Who am I? Could it be me?..." Gongsun raised his eyebrows on his left foot, looked up to the sky and screamed, and said: "Second Gongsun, second son Gongsun, I told you not to believe people's words, but you just didn't listen." With a deflected finger, he pointed at the string of green coins on the ground: "I just want to Come here with this string of things, well, now, you should know, right? If 'Siming Hongpao' really knew the whereabouts of 'Ruyi Qingqian', how would he tell you?" He sighed softly, turned his gaze to the white-robed scholar again, and laughed wildly: "Although your martial arts are superb and your schemes are cruel, you have forgotten that there is something stronger than you in the world, that is the law of heaven, and that is retribution. Today, since my Gongsun Zuojia dared to expose your tricks, I have already put life and death aside. If you are smart, kill me as soon as possible, otherwise I will spread the word to the world and tell your evil deeds. Not only did you do such a vicious deed We have to use a young boy to push the crime on the 'Sichuan Leopard Nang'." Turning his eyes, he turned to Guan Ning, and said again: "If you think that you will help this devil to do something to blame, this devil will thank you, then you are very wrong, one day, hum, you will inevitably To die at his hands." Guan Ning stood there in a daze.What Gongsun Zuozu said sounds reasonable.He had just seen Wudang Siyan, Luofu Caiyi, Shaolin Muzhu and this Gongsun Zuozu with his own eyes, and he knew that these people are all top figures in today's martial arts. When they compared each other, they felt that although their martial arts were high, in front of this white-robed scholar, they were just like Yinghuo and Haoyue, they were incomparably far apart. So all of a sudden, doubts arose in his heart, and many new questions came to his mind: "Although this white-robed scholar looks distraught, his martial arts are still so high, it seems that only He was able to kill those people one by one, and the injuries he suffered were of course accidentally shot when he was fighting with others. This injury made him lose his memory, so even he himself didn't know whether these people were killed or not. he killed." When he thought of this, he couldn't help thinking to himself: "Then...could he be the murderer, but..." The strange guest he saw in the hexagonal pavilion and the hidden weapon that came suddenly appeared in his mind. "However, how to explain those two people and those hidden weapons? Although Gongsun Zuozu thinks that I made up these things out of thin air, I know they are absolutely true!" Looking up, I saw Gongsun's left foot and the white-robed scholar's eyes facing each other, although Gongsun's left foot was excited and restless, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, and the white-robed scholar's face was also cloudy and uncertain. He seemed to be thinking about the correctness of what Gongsun Zuozu said. "Are these words true? Did I really do that kind of thing? Regardless of whether the matter is true or not, since this lame beggar has said it, he will surely spread the word to the world and find someone to deal with me. Then... I Should I chop him to death with one palm? But... who am I?" Guan Ning was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned and ran up the mountain, he wanted to pick up some of the hidden weapons that fell on the ground, and let Gongsun's left foot see whose hidden weapons belonged to them. If these hidden weapons really belonged to the Emei leopard sac, then we can get a clue about this matter. Gongsun's left foot and the white-robed scholar met each other's eyes without even blinking, as if they hadn't seen him leave at all. He ran hurriedly, running faster and faster, hoping that he could get back before the two men made a move, and he also knew that the temperament of the two men could not be judged by common sense, so he did not explain his sudden departure. The reason for opening.Although his lightness kungfu is not good, he is a person who has practiced martial arts before. Although he is extremely tired at the moment, he still runs very fast. The mountain road was rugged, and he gradually began to breathe. However, the single-plank bridge at Siming Mountain Villa was already in sight, so he walked even faster. When he reached Juehe, he collected himself and allowed himself to breathe quickly to calm down. Then he walked carefully across the bridge. The trees and stone houses are still the same as before, and his messy footprints are still left on the sand and gravel on the ground. but…… There is nothing left on the ground except sand and gravel.He bent down and inspected carefully, where were the shadows of those hidden weapons on the ground? He looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh in disappointment, the last clue seemed to have been cut off again at this moment. The sky was overcast, and the thick dark clouds covered the rising sun layer by layer. He sighed and walked back to the bridge.A drop of rain fell on his face, and he wiped it away with his hand. Thoughts surged in his heart, and he almost forgot that after one drop of rain, there must be more drops of rain that would follow. Even if he wiped off this drop of rain, But more drops of rain will fall on him. By the time he walked across the small bridge, there were so many raindrops on his body that he couldn't even count them.The torrential rain in the mountains, along with the dark clouds all over the sky, poured down. The cold raindrops ran down his forehead and covered his face.He hoped that he could wake up for it, so he didn't let go and run wildly. But he was disappointed, his heart was in disarray, although the raindrops were cold, they couldn't sort out his disordered thoughts! So, he ran wildly again, his soaked clothes were tightly attached to his body, he stretched out his hand to touch, and found that the kit was still in his bosom, he couldn't help sighing secretly, thinking: "The other things in this kit are , does it also contain some secrets like the bunch of green coins?" Turning around the mountain bend, the mountain forest and the mountain road are in front of you.The misty misty rain added a bit of mystery and charm to the already excellent mountain scenery. But he was not in the mood to appreciate these things at the moment, he rushed over in a hurry and looked around—— In the mountain forest, the white-robed scholar was standing alone in despair, the rain from the treetops completely wet his white robe, but he still seemed to have no feeling, looking at him absent-mindedly. Looking into the distance, he murmured, "Could it really be me?... But who am I?..." Guan Ning sighed, turned his gaze, and couldn't help blurting out: "Where is Senior Gongsun?" He strode over, the distant mountain road was covered with mist and rain, and Gongsun's left foot no longer knew when or where he had gone. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Guan Ning and the white-robed scholar standing under the torrential rain still stood there blankly.The torrential rain fell on them, and they acted as if no one felt it. Especially Guan Ning, facing this white-robed scholar, he may be a murderer who killed many people, or he may be completely innocent, Guan Ning asked himself: "Who is he? What should I do to him?" ?” I don't know-- When he was thinking about a difficult problem in his mind, the white-robed scholar's figure standing upright like a mountain suddenly shook twice, and then fell to the ground with a "bang". By the time Guan Ning came rushing forward with an exclamation, the mud all over the ground had stained his pure white clothes yellow. This sudden change made Guan Ning hardly believe his eyes.How could this stranger with unpredictable martial arts faint and fall for no reason? Looking down, he saw his snow-white face, which was as yellow as gold paper at the moment, his bright eyes were closed together with his resolute lips, and when he stretched out his hand, his breath was surprisingly weak. "Could it be that when Gongsun's left foot was about to leave, he hit it with some powerful hidden weapon?" Looking around, there was no scar on his body at all, only a trace of pale yellow saliva slowly flowing from his tightly closed lips, flowing to the ground and mixing with the rainwater on the ground. Guan Ning stared at him blankly, and suddenly lost his mind.He was originally a son of a rich family with rich clothes and good food, so he knew nothing about the vendettas in the Jianghu, and naturally he couldn't judge why he did it. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and leaned over to lift the white-robed scholar up from the ground.Unexpectedly, when he looked away, he discovered another strange thing, which made him exclaim involuntarily, and the white-robed scholar's body, which had been half supported by his hands, fell down again. The rain fell like a beer, and quickly dispersed the saliva that was dripping from the white-robed scholar's mouth. The rain mixed with the saliva flowed to Guan Ning's feet, and the string of "Ruyi Green Coins" was also at Guan Ning's feet at this moment. feet.Strangely, as soon as the rain mixed with saliva passed by, the bronze-glowing money immediately turned black, like silverware stained with poisonous juice. Even though Guan Ning's experience in the world is shallow, he couldn't help being shocked at this moment, and thought to himself: "Could it be that he has been poisoned? Even the saliva from his mouth contains such a strong poison." It must be known that there are naturally many poisonous juices that can turn silverware black in the whole world, but poisonous juices that can change the color of bronze are very few, not to mention the saliva from the white-robed scholar's mouth, mixed with It's appalling to see it rain so much and still be so poisonous. "When was he poisoned?" Guan Ning couldn't help being puzzled again, bowed his head and pondered for a long time, his eyes moved, and his heart couldn't help but jump again—— The piece of pure-colored soft silk that was taken out of the blue coin and was blown close to the rock by the mountain wind, was beaten by the rain at this moment, and four lines of writing appeared on it.Looking from a distance, although the handwriting was not clear, Guan Ning could tell that it must have been there before. At this moment, his heart moved, he couldn't help turning around to take a look, and saw that it read: "Ruyi green money, nine false and one true, What is false is not false, what is true is not true, It's hard to tell the truth from the fake, nine ones are upside down, The world is so stupid, I will be stupid again. " Sixteen small characters with vigorous handwriting, neither official script nor grass, nor poetry nor gatha. As soon as these sixteen characters came into Guan Ning's eyes, he felt a loud bang in his heart, and a sudden tremor, his hands clenched tightly, tightly grasping the soft silk in his hands, as if he was afraid that it would fall out of his hands. Because, from this side of the soft silk covered with dirty yellow mud, he has found a great secret that has been hidden in the martial arts for a hundred years.At this moment, although he can't quite understand the truth of this secret, at least he has grasped the key to unlock it. So he managed to calm down the excitement in his heart, and carefully read the handwriting on the silk several times. He didn't seem to feel the heavy rain pouring down on him. "Nine falsehoods and one true... The false ones are not false... Ninety ones are upside down..." He pondered these few lines over and over again, which seemed like poetry but not poetry.A short sentence that seemed to be a gatha but not a gatha, while whispering secretly: "Could it be that this string of 'Ruyi Qingqian', which has been judged to be fake by so many martial arts experts, is actually real? Could it be that the softness hidden in this string of green coins On the silk, it is recorded that a hundred years ago, the world-renowned senior possessed ancient and modern martial arts secret skills?" As soon as he thought of this, an uncontrollable excitement suddenly rose in his heart.In the past half a day, he saw so many people crazy about the martial arts skills contained in the "Ruyi Qingqian". Qingqian did not hesitate to do many things that would degrade their status, Wudang and Shaolin, these two sects have always been good friends, for this reason they did not hesitate to turn their faces against each other. From Gongsun Zuozu's mouth, he also knew that what he saw was just one of the battles over the "Ruyi Qingqian" in the past hundred years. There are still countless martial arts masters who lost their lives because of this string of green coins. There are also countless close relatives and friends who intrigue each other over this string of green coins, turn against each other, and even kill each other to death.The temptation of this small string of bronze coins in the martial arts is stronger than that of a millionaire and a beautiful woman. But at this moment, this string of "Ruyi Qingqian", coveted and coveted by thousands of martial arts heroes, is in his hand.He knew that with this string of money, he could learn martial arts that would make him look down on the world.If you are an indifferent and calm person, and you are the one holding this string of "Ruyi Qingqian" at this moment, then I am afraid that you cannot help but be agitated by this kind of emotion, even stronger than his agitation at the moment? After a long time, he suddenly thought that there was a person lying down behind him who had been poisoned. Even if this person was not his friend, he could not abandon him. So he cut off the thoughts that were flying up in him, leaned over and picked up the string of green coins at his feet, carefully wrapped them in the soft silk in his hand, carefully put them into the brocade bag in his arms, and stretched out his hand. Wiping the rainwater off his face, he turned around and picked up the white-robed scholar who was lying on the ground. He looked around, checked the direction, and walked down the mountain. He knew that this section of the mountain road was extremely long, and this night, after experiencing fear, sorrow, and confusion—all kinds of emotional torture, as well as fatigue, hunger—all kinds of physical hardships, Guan Ning faced this section. On the long mountain road, he should have felt a little discouraged, not to mention that he was holding a person in his arms who was poisoned at some point and would die suddenly at some point. But the strange thing is that his footsteps at this moment are not heavy at all.The excitement and excitement of emotions made him ignore all the emotional and physical tortures. He just ran quickly on the mountain path under the torrential rain and water, while still thinking secretly in his heart. Those four sentences. "What is the meaning of these four sentences? Anyone can understand the meaning of the first sentence, and many people in the world already know it. Then the second sentence—" He quickly put "pseudo Those who are not false, and those who are true are not true." The eight words were silently recited again. So he thought again: "Of course, this means that the "Ruyi Qingqian" that people in the Jianghu think is fake is actually true, so he said again, "It's hard to tell the truth from the fake, nine ones are upside down." Because it's true There are actually nine strings of 'Ruyi Qingqian', but the fake ones only have one." When he thought of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and murmured: "Although most of the world is fools, why do you play tricks on the world like this?" For the person who was abandoned by "Ruyi Qingqian" here, he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart. "How stupid the world is, I am a fool again." What a strange and cruel thought this is, and what a proud and detached thought it is. He chanted over and over again, the eight words contained a lot of ridicule, and he seemed to be able to understand that the senior in the martial arts world, after defeating all the martial arts masters in the world, he suddenly felt that he was in the world of mortals. , is just a very lonely place, so I avoid the feeling when I hide in the mountains or even go to the barren land: "Everyone in the world, why are you so stupid, how can I pass on my unique skills to these stupid people -" Guan Ning sighed secretly, and muttered to himself: "This is probably what this senior felt at that time, so he wrote nine copies of his life's martial arts stunts, using potions like alum, Sealed in nine special strings of money, and then made a fake one, alas——he probably knew the trap he had set up before his death, and after his death, many ignorant people would definitely fall into it That's enough, because even though he can't see it with his own eyes, he has already started to laugh at the greed and stupidity of the world." He couldn't help heaving a long sigh, and then thought: "After those people got a bunch of 'Ruyi Qingqian', why didn't they pay attention to check the secrets in it, but just desperately fought for it? Sigh—the living People, but still can not help being fooled by the dead, it is no wonder that he is proud of his own intelligence, and laugh at how stupid the world is, but—” He paused for a moment, looked up at the sky, the rain had gradually diminished, the gray sky, like the gray eyes of a giant, silently looked down on the earth, just like a wise emperor looking down on his own people, Where is there any hint of contempt and ridicule in it? He sighed again and continued to think: "What is the difference between a wise man and a foolish man in the eternal world? Even if you are the wisest man in the world, what can you gain? You Can you take your pride and glory to death? If you are always proud of your own intelligence, isn't it the same as a rich man who keeps his money and locks up his money miserly?" At this moment, this young man who was not well-versed in the world seemed to suddenly understand many things that he did not understand.He also learned that the happiest person in the world is the foolish person, because he does not have to endure the loneliness that wise people often feel, and even though he is often fooled by others, he will not lose anything because of it, just like fooling others People, in fact, have never gotten anything the same. Therefore, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered to himself: "This is probably the reason why many people are willing to be a fool! Living alone in this world, if you can be a little confused, you will not be the happiest." something?" The thoughts in his mind at this moment were finally expressed by a wise and gifted scholar in four words after a long time, and these four words were still being circulated in people's mouths until a long time later. These four words are "rarely confused". He suddenly sighed and smiled, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, excited and uneasy, and he didn't even know when the torrential rain stopped. It wasn't until the steep mountain road became flat and the gray clouds were blown away by the wind that he raised his head, only to realize that he had descended the mountain. Inside the chaifei at the foot of the mountain, a white-haired woodcutter walked out of the door, looking at him in amazement, wondering in his heart, how could there be tourists walking down the mountain on this day of heavy rain? When the woodcutter saw the wounded in Guan Ning's arms with astonishing eyes, Guan Ning had already walked straight towards him, and the sophisticated woodcutter did not even need to speak to Guan Ning to guess the beauty of his body. The intention of a young man who is obedient but embarrassed. So he coughed dryly, went forward, and asked, "Is your friend hurt? Come to my room quickly. Also, take off your wet clothes and dry them." Guan Ning looked up at the old woodcutter in surprise.What surprised him was the straightforwardness and simplicity of the old man's words.For this young man who has been living in rich clothes since he was a child, it is really surprising that a poor woodcutter candidly address him with "you". However, when his eyes caught sight of the woodcutter's red, strong muscles and straightforward face, he was no longer surprised. Because he knows that years of living in the mountains have made this old woodcutter integrated with nature.He is content with his own poverty and does not envy other people's wealth, just like this lush and majestic Siming Mountain.He treats everyone who comes into contact with him equally, so he doesn't even ask about Guan Ning's origin, let alone Guan Ning's good and evil, as long as he can help people with his own strength, he will not consider it. to help. This magnanimity made Guan Ning feel a little ashamed of his thoughts just now. He also said frankly: "Thank you, brother." All hypocritical politeness and unnecessary explanations were avoided. The houses in Chai Fei are naturally simple.But simple houses often have more cleanliness and quietness.A long time ago, a wise philosopher once said: "There are four worst fathers, but four best sons, and four best mothers, but four worst daughters. .” This philosopher is a person who is very good at metaphor. The meaning of his words is to say that simplicity gives birth to tranquility, loneliness gives birth to rationality, torture gives birth to experience, and failure gives birth to success. This is the worst father and the best. son. But pride born of success, treachery born of experience, luxury born of wealth, contempt born of intimacy, these are the best mothers and worst daughters. After the shower, the earth is fresh and moist.In this clean room, Guan Ning changed into the wet clothes on his body, sat on the opposite side of the wooden bed in the room, looked at the white-robed scholar unconscious on the bed, and couldn't help being stunned by it again, not knowing what to do Is good. Although the old woodcutter lived at the foot of the mountain for a long time and knew everything about the poisonous insects, snakes and beasts in the mountains, he couldn't tell what kind of poison the white-robed scholar suffered from and when he suffered from it. Because of this, he also looked at the stunned young man in silence, and didn't say a single useless word, who would have thought—— Outside Chai Fei, a soft and delicate voice suddenly yelled, "Is there anyone in this house?" Guan Ning's heart skipped a beat, because as soon as the voice reached his ears, he knew who was speaking. The old woodcutter glanced at him and said slowly, "Someone, come in." Before the words were finished, an emerald green figure flashed outside the door. With a twist of her delicate body, her eyes turned slightly, she suddenly smiled, pointed at Guan Ning with her slender fingers and said with a smile, "Why are you here?" Guan Ning knew that it was exactly as he expected, the girl who coquettishly came in from the door was the girl who called herself "Excalibur" and "Niang Niang". Because of this, he didn't turn his head back, and just said in a deep voice, "Why are you here too?" Isn't it a very strange thing that people sometimes suppress their emotions for the person they always miss in their hearts? ? Only to hear the green-dressed girl burst out laughing again, and said with a coquettish smile: "If you can come, can't I?" Turning his gaze, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the white-robed scholar on the bed, and exclaimed, "Why is he here too?" Suddenly, he swept over and muttered to himself: "He is so skilled in martial arts, how could he be injured?" A faint fragrance mixed with the wind blowing in from outside the door, so there was also some faint fragrance in this fresh and moist breeze. Guan Ning tilted his head slightly, and his eyes came into contact with her graceful body in the green dress.Her clothes were also a little damp, because of her curvaceous curves, it was particularly eye-catching.Guan Ning didn't dare to look at the eye-catching body anymore, and closed his eyes, so he saw her delicate pink face, and also saw the surprised expression on her face. The old woodcutter stood up slowly.Although he was unavoidably curious about these three strange guests, he was not interested in asking the bottom line or exploring their secrets. Therefore, he walked out slowly, and said in a deep voice, "You can rest here as you like, and I'll fix some food for you." The girl in emerald dress and Guan Ning turned their heads together and smiled gratefully at him. When their eyes met in the turn, the smiles on their faces froze along with each other's eyes.They looked at each other as if he had never seen her and she had never seen him in his life. However, in this strange glance, there seemed to be a feeling of deja vu, so his eyes were fixed in her eyes, and her eyes were also condensed in his eyes, as if they were looking for the origin of this feeling .Ah, if you want to describe this look in words, how difficult it must be. Finally, his eyes slowly averted.Although she is a woman, she should be the one who should avert his eyes, but she still stared until his eyes moved away, her eyelids fluttered uncomfortably, and she asked in a low voice: "Your friend How did you get hurt?" He shook his head slowly.The reason why he looked away was because he found that his mood was in turmoil again, and he didn't want this turmoil to leave too many traces in his heart.Also for this reason, he just shook his head at this moment and did not speak, because the turmoil had not subsided until now. This kind of contradictory and complicated mood is the most difficult emotion in the world to understand, but it is also the easiest emotion in the world to understand.She frowned slightly, and continued, "His injury seems to be serious." Guan Ning lowered his head, but spoke out. He first said in a deep voice, "He's been poisoned!" Then he said very slowly how the poisoned person fainted suddenly. When he was talking, she listened attentively, but at the same time bent down to examine the face of the white-robed scholar.After he finished speaking, she smiled lightly and said, "If he has been poisoned, then it doesn't matter..." Guan Ning raised his eyes and looked straight at her, but she smiled triumphantly again and said, "I don't believe it, do you? Do you know who I am?" Guan Ning shook his head and said very simply: "I don't know." The green-dressed girl sighed softly, as if she felt sorry for his ignorance, then suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said softly: "You are still young, it seems that you are a young man who can only read poetry couplets, Of course they don't know about me, but—" She paused, then her voice suddenly rose again, and then said: "If you go to the rivers and lakes to find out who 'Huangshan Cuishu' is, I believe there is no one who doesn't know." Guan Ning opened his eyes, and blurted out: "You are Huangshan Cuixiu?" In the past half a day, he has known a lot about famous people in the martial arts world, he knows Luofu colorful clothes, Zhongnan black shirt, Wudang blue lapel... These illustrious figures all seem to be marked by different clothes.He also heard the word "Huangshan Cuixiu" from Gongsun Zuozuo, and knew that "Huangshan Cuixiu" was a figure with the same reputation as these martial arts masters. Now he heard that the girl was actually Huangshan Cuixiu, so it was inevitable Some surprise. The girl in emerald dress smiled slightly, and said softly: "Huangshan Cuixiu is my master." Guan Ning stared at her expression, although he didn't laugh out loud, he couldn't help but let out a long "oh".翠装少女娇靥嫣红，先前那种盛气凌人的样子，此刻便消失不少，比起管宁初见她时，她扬起眉毛、挺起胸膛称“神剑娘娘”的样子，那自然更不可同日而语了。 那老年樵夫远远站在门外，看到方才大声娇唤着走进去的少女，此刻竟默然垂着头，不禁暗中一笑，自语着道：“看来这小丫头是对这年轻人钟情了。” 因为他老于世故，而老于世故的人常常会知道，当一个刁蛮的少女，在一个人的面前突然变得温驯的时候，那就表示她对这个人已是芳心默许了。 这间小小的茅屋本是依山而建，一大一小，一明一暗，虽然简陋，却极牢固。由明间映入的天光，映在这满头白发的老年樵子身上，此刻他正满含喜悦之色，望着明间里的一双少年男女扮演着的一幕人间喜剧。 只见这翠装少女垂首默然半晌，突地嘤咛一声，抬起头来，娇嗔着道：“你这人，总是不信我的话！就算我不能将你朋友的毒解去，可是不出半个月，我一定替你找到一个能解毒的人。” 管宁暗中一笑，忖道：“我又何曾说你不能解去此毒，你倒不打自招了。”目光转处，只见白袍书生的面容，此刻竟已全都转成金色，不禁长叹一声，缓缓道：“只怕他再也难以捱过半个月了。” 翠装少女轻轻一笑，道：“这个你不用着急，我自然有办法。” 伸手一掠鬓发，转身从怀中掏出一个精致小巧的玉盒来，纤指轻轻一按玉盒的边沿，玉盒中便突地跳出一粒碧绿的丹丸，落到她其白如玉的手掌中。 管宁生长的钟鸣鼎食之家，自幼见到的珍奇玩物，何止千百，却从未见过这玉盒一般精巧的东西，一时之间，望着这精致的玉盒，不觉望得呆了。只听这翠装少女又自噗哧笑道：“你看什么？”手腕一缩，将一双似春葱欲折的手，隐入袖里。 管宁不禁为之面颊一红，心中虽然委屈，却又不能分辩：“我不是看你的手。” 翠装少女转身走到床前，含笑又道：“可惜你不是武林中人，不然你见着我手上的这粒丹丸，准会吓上一跳——” 腕肘一伸，纤掌突地电射而出，在这白袍书生下颚一拍一捏，巧妙地将掌心的丹丸倒入他的嘴里，翠袖微拂，转过身来，若无其事地，接着又道：“告诉你，现在我给你这朋友吃下的，就是名闻天下的黄山灵药'翠袖护心丹'。这种药要采集七十二种以上的灵药才能炼成，炼的时候，又要耗去七十二天的时间。我师父炼它本来以为可以解救普天之下的所有毒性的，哪知炼好之后，才知道这种丹丸只能护心，对于解毒却没有什么太大的效用，是以一共只炼一炉。” 管宁忍不住插口问道：“既不能解毒，为什么还能称得上是名闻天下的灵药？” 翠装少女掩口一笑，道：“我说你笨，你真是笨得可以。这丹丸虽然不解毒，但是只要有它，普天之下任何一种毒性便无法攻心。毒不攻心，中毒的人就不会死了。” 她语声微微一顿，接着又道：“我师父以前一个最好的朋友在勾漏山中了'勾漏七鬼'的'七毒神砂'，我师父虽然将他救了出来，又费了千方百计，找齐了七种解药为他疗毒，可是等到解药找齐的时候，他已经死了。我师父一怒之下，将勾漏七鬼杀死了一大半。可是人死不能复生，我师父虽然替他复了仇，心里还是伤心得很——” 管宁心中一动，忖道：“此人想必是那黄山翠袖的爱侣了。” 却听这翠装少女幽幽长叹了一声，轻轻坐到床侧，接着又道：“从此之后，我师父便走遍天下，想炼制一种能解天下万毒的灵药。但是普天之下，毒物何止百种，每一种毒，都只有一种解药，你若将一百种毒物合在一处，制成的毒自然是奇毒无比，可是你要是将这一百种解药合在一处制成灵丹，却未必有什么灵效。是以天下能施毒的人虽多，能解毒的人却少，而每一个以'毒'成名的武林高手，也只能解自己制成的毒性，若是他中了别人的毒药暗器，一样也是束手无策。'四川'唐门的毒药暗器，垂名武林将近两百年，盛名一直不坠，也是因为他们家里的人所制成的毒药暗器的解救方法，直到此刻为止，天下还没有一个知道！” 她一口气说到这里，话声方自微微一顿。管宁暗叹一声，只觉这少女有时看来虽然天真无知，但对江湖中事，却知道得不知要比自己多出若干倍。这些话从她口中说出，俱是管宁生平闻所未闻之事，只听得他神驰意往，再也插不进一句话去。 翠装少女稍微歇息一下，便又接道：“我师父后来炼成了这'翠袖护心丹'，虽然因为它不能解毒而灰心得很，可是武林中人知道了，却将这丹丸看成无价之宝，为了此事，四川唐门，还特地派人送了一份厚礼到黄山来找我师父，请我师父不要将这种灵药的秘方流传到江湖中去。” 管宁剑眉一轩，脱口问道：“你师父可曾答应了吗？” 翠装少女轻轻一笑，道：“我师父没有答应，可也没有拒绝，这'翠袖护心丹'的药方却从此没有流传出去。因为我师父自从她的好友死了之后，便心灰意冷，再也不愿牵涉江湖中的是是非非，何况我师父曾经告诉我，就算这药方有人知道，可是也没有人会花费这么多的心机来炼。就算有人会炼，可是普天之下施用毒药暗器的人，也不会让他平平安安地炼好，说不定又要在江湖中掀起一阵风浪，药还未必炼得成。与其如此，还不如将这药方不说出来的好，反而能够免去许多麻烦。” 管宁缓缓点头，心中虽觉她所说的话不无道理，可是却也并不完全同意，沉吟半晌，忍不住又插口问道：“你说来说去，可是还是没有将江湖中人将此药视成至宝的原因说出来——” 他与这少女本无深交，然而此刻说起话来，却像是多年老友似的，丝毫没有虚伪客套。这虽与他自幼环境的薰陶而出的性格大不相同，但他说来却毫不勉强，就生像是他对这少女以这种方式说话，本是顺理成章之事。 翠装少女秋波一转，含笑又道：“你到底不是武林中人，所以听到现在还没有听出来。这'翠袖护心丹'虽然不能祛毒，却能护心，无论中了何派毒物的人，只要服下一粒药丸，那么他所中之毒虽然未解，却也不会死。” 管宁又不禁插口问道：“若是他一年、两年还是不能寻得解药呢？” 翠装少女一笑道：“他一年寻不到解药，这'翠袖护心丹'便能使他一年不死，他十年寻不到解药，这'翠袖护心丹'便能使他十年不死，他一生寻不到解药，这'翠袖护心丹'便能使他一生不死。但若毒性不除，他全身骨骼肌肤，为毒所侵，自然动弹不得，年代一久，他肌肉甚至会为之尽腐也说不定。是以这'翠袖护心丹'虽然灵妙，但终究还是要寻得解药，才是解毒的根本之计。” 管宁长叹一声，缓缓说道：“想不到，天下竟真有这种灵妙的药物，难怪是那等珍贵的了。” 翠装少女又自噗哧笑道：“我跟你说这些话，可不是要你承我的情。” 缓缓回转身去，朝床上的白袍书生凝注半晌，突地一皱黛眉，接着又道：“不过，你这朋友所中的毒可真厉害，直到此刻还没有反应，真奇怪……他是在什么时候中的毒呢？” 语声未了，那老樵夫突地在门外轻咳一声，缓步走进来，一面说道：“饭烧好了，你们吃不吃？” 他说起话来永远是这么简单，让你纵有心客套两句也说不出来，何况管宁此刻早已腹饥如焚。 一餐既毕，管宁心念动处，忍不住又问道：“方才你与他本是一起去追那暗中发出暗器的人，他何时中毒，你本该知道的呀！” 翠装少女放下手中竹筷，四顾一眼，那老年的樵夫已远远坐到门外，吸起旱烟来了。此刻暮色已起，晚霞如梦，他坐在门外，面对着如黛青山，满天彩霞，意兴仿佛甚是悠闲，似乎根本没有将这一双青年男女的对话听在耳里。 她望着这悠闲的樵夫出了会儿神，突地回过头来，缓缓说道：“要是叫你和这老头子一样，在深山里悠闲地度过一生，你愿不愿意？” 管宁微微一愣，不知道她为什么突然说出这种话来，沉吟半晌，道：“此人与世无争，淡泊名利，的确叫人羡慕得很。但是他能有今日的心境，只怕也不是一年两年能够做到的事！” 翠装少女轻轻一笑，垂下头去，沉思半晌。落日的余晕，映着她娇美的笑靥，映着她一袭翠绿衣衫，刹那之间，管宁突发觉这少女的刁蛮天真之中，像是还有许多心事。 于是自己的思潮亦不禁随之翻涌而起，暗自感叹着世事之奇，确非人们能够预料得到的。昨日此刻，他还是个一无烦恼的游山士子，正自满怀兴奋地上四明山去寻觅诗中佳句，又怎会想到在这一日之间，自家竟会生出这么巨大的变化，更不会想到此刻自己竟和一个素昧平生的绝色少女，像多年老友似的坐在这间低矮的茅屋里，一齐感叹着人生的际遇了。 床上的白袍书生，呼吸突地由微弱变得粗重起来，但是在沉思中的管宁与这翠装少女，却根本全都没有觉察到。 直到门外落日的余晖黯淡了些，翠装少女方自抬起头来，轻轻一笑，道：“你方才问我什么？” 这句话使管宁也从沉思中醒来，方待答话，哪知翠装少女“哦”了一声，接着说道：“我想起来了，你是问我追那两个偷放暗器的人，结果怎样是不是？唉——我告诉你，那才真是气人呢。我一看到他们的人影，就追了下去。不是我在你面前自夸，我的轻功，在江湖中已可算是顶尖人物了——” 管宁忍不住微微一笑，暗道这少女的确是心高气傲之人，处处忘不了替自己夸赞两句。 翠装少女秋波一瞪，娇嗔道：“你笑什么？我告诉你，江湖中以轻功成名的人我已会过不少，可是就连'云龙九现'鄂子甲那号人物，对我都很服帖，不然为什么人家会叫我'凌无影'而不叫我本来的名字呢？” 管宁虽然与她交谈许久，可是直到此刻才听到她说出自己的名号，忍不住脱口道：“那么你本来的名字是叫什么？” 翠装少女面颊又微微一红，低声道：“我本来叫做凌影，他们不过在中间加了个'无'字而已。” 要知当时女子亲口说出自己的名字，本是不太轻易之事，管宁脱口问出之后，心中已有些后悔，生怕这娇纵的少女会突然给自己一个难堪。哪知她竟如此柔顺地说了出来，心神不禁为之一荡，目光抬处，却见她竟也在凝注着自己。 这一次两人的目光相对，各自心中的感觉，已和方才大不相同。 更不相同的是，他们目光一触，这翠装少女凌影便立将秋波转了开去，生像是管宁此刻的目光和方才有些不同似的。这种微妙的变化，你在生命中若是也有过一段温馨的往事，那么你不用我说，便也能了解得到的。 管宁却仍在呆呆地望着她，只见她微垂螓首，忽又一笑道：“我轻功虽……虽然不坏，可是在暗中偷放暗器的那两条人影，轻功却更高。我自入江湖以来，几乎没有见过能有一人轻功更高过这两人的。只是我明知未必追得上他们，心里仍不服这口气，咬紧牙关，拼命地追了上去。” 管宁暗中赞叹一声：这少女虽是女子，却有男子汉的豪气，可是在男子汉的豪气之中，却又不失其女子的妩媚，这种女子倒真少见得很。 却见她语声稍顿，接道：“我施出全力，又追了一段，虽然没有追上，但距离却也没有拉得太长，眼看前面绝壑深沉，似乎已到路的尽头，呀……那时我心里真是高兴，这下子他们可逃不掉了吧！” 管宁剑眉微皱，沉声道：“他们两人轻功既然比你更高，而且又比你人多，你虽然追上了，又能怎的他们？” 凌影轻轻一笑道：“那时我可没有考虑到这些问题，只想把他们追上，看看他们到底是谁，和我无冤无仇，为什么要用那么恶毒的暗器来偷偷打我。 “哪知这两条人影看看已走到绝路，其中一人突地手臂一挥，挥出一段长索来，另一人飞快地接到手里，又是一挥，这条软软的绳索竟被挥得伸了出去，而另一人竟藉着这一挥之势，掠过了宽度达五丈的绝壑，身影方自站定，手腕一拉，便将这边的一人也拉了过去。这两人不但气功、轻功都妙到毫巅，而且两人配合的佳妙，更是令人叹为观止。就在眨眼之间，这两人便都已掠过了绝壑。” 她一边说着，还一面比着手势，说到这里，手势一顿，长长叹了口气，方自接着说道：“我站在一旁呆呆地看着这种惊人的身手，几乎连脚步都忘记动作了，哪知——” 她话犹未了，肩头突地被人轻轻拍了一下，她大惊之下，骇然回顾，却见那老年樵夫正自望着她，沉声笑道：“你话说得多了，可要喝些茶？” 凌影轻轻一笑，接过他手中的茶杯，望着这奇异的老人又自走出门外，半晌都没有说出话来。 管宁却在暗中忖道：“她本来极为自负自傲，可是却对这两人的武功如此称赞，看来这两人的武功必定是极高的了。” 心念一转，又忖道：“那么，难道这两人便是那'峨嵋豹囊'，便是四明山庄中惨案的凶手？” 却见凌影俯首沉思半晌，浅浅呷了口杯中的茶，接着又道：“我看着他们的背影正在发呆，哪知身后突地风声微拂，一条白衣人影，电也似的从我身后掠到前面，掠到绝壑之边，身形根本没有停顿一下，双臂微张，便自冲天而起。这一纵之势，竟然高达三丈，我不禁为之脱口叫了出来。” “只见他身形凌空之后，突然转折一下，头下脚上，竟像一根箭似的朝对岸掠去，唉——”她轻轻长叹一声，接道：“我方道前面那两人的轻功已妙到不可思议，哪知你这朋友的轻功更不知比他们高出多少倍。我望着他们的身影一个个在山荫中消失，自知凭我自己绝对不能飞渡这片绝壑，便只好走了回来。哪知我追人的时候根本没有留意方向，退回来的时候，竟然迷了路。” 她稍微变动一下坐的姿势，又道：“我在深山里兜了半天圈子，碰到大雨便又寻了个山洞躲了半天，等到雨停，我才找到正路下山，看到这里有间茅——” 她正自娓娓而谈，管宁正自凝神而听，哪知她语声竟突地一顿，就像是一匹在纺机上织着的纱布，突然被人切了一样。 管宁心中一震，抬目望去，只见她常笑的面靥上，突然露出一种惊恐的表情，不安地深深呼着气，一面喃喃自语：“这是怎么回事……” 突地长身而起，电也似地掠出门外。 管宁心中惊异交集，呆呆地愣了半晌，缓步走到门旁，却见她又惊鸿般地掠了回来。暮色之中，她面上的惊恐之色像是越发浓厚，一言不发地掠回房里，拔起了头上的一根银簪，轻轻向方才那老年樵夫好心送给她的茶水中一探—— 刹那之间，她手中这根光亮的银簪，竟突地变为乌黑。 管宁面容骤然而变，一个箭步，掠了过去，惶声问道：“这杯茶里有毒？” 凌影缓缓点了点头，沉重地叹一声气，颓然坐到床上。 管宁心中又急又惊，大喝道：“那老头儿呢？” 转身走到门口，门外夜色将临，晚霞已消，那老年樵子方才坐着的竹椅，还在门旁，但是他却不知走到哪里去了。 这一日之间，他虽已经过许多次凶杀之事，但却没有哪一次比此刻更令他心乱的，惶急地扑到椅边，一把拉住她的肩，惶声又道：“你中了毒？” 凌影又自缓缓颔首道：“我中了毒。” 管宁长叹一声，心中满是自责自疚之意，不住顿足叹道：“我真该死，竟没有看出这老匹夫居然是个歹徒，唉……这该如何是好，这该如何是好……” 凌影凄然一笑，道：“这又怎么怪得了你？我也做梦都未想到这个老头子会在茶里下毒，唉——我们不但和他素无冤仇，甚至连他是谁，我都不认识呀！” 管宁心神交急之中，突地心念一动，面上倏然泛出喜色，急声道：“你赶快将那'翠袖护心丹'吃上一粒，然后我们再想办法。” 他方才听了这“翠袖护心丹”的妙用，此刻想到此物，心中便自一定。哪知凌影却缓缓垂下头去，生像没有听到他的话似的。娇弱的身体，缓缓向椅后倒下，那一双明如秋水的眼睛，也紧紧闭成一线—— 暮风吹来，微有寒意。 管宁激灵灵打了个冷颤，双手搁在她的肩头，颤声道：“难道那'翠袖护心丹'你盒中只有一粒？” 凌影无力地将身躯倚在他手掌上，仰面凄然一笑，缓缓点了点头。此刻她已觉察到管宁对自己关切的情意，是那么纯真而坦率，因之她便也毫不羞涩地将身躯向管宁倚了过去。 人们的感情最最难以隐藏的时候，便是在患难之中，何况凌影此刻觉出自己的身躯，已因些许麻痹而变得全身麻木。她知道这种麻痹所象征着的是什么。因为她对毒药知道得极多，普天之下的毒药，无色无味，而又能使人在中毒之后片刻之间就全身麻痹的，本只寥寥数种，自己此刻显然中了这种武林罕见的极毒之物，活命已多半无望了。 那么，一个快将死去的人，又何须再隐藏自己的情感呢！ 自从一见管宁，她心中便有了难以了解的微妙感觉，而此刻，这分难以了解的感觉已变得十分明显了。 她抬起头，突然想起一个风流的诗人曾经将圣人所说的“朝闻道，夕死可矣”这句话变成：“朝闻爱，夕死可矣。” 于是她不禁又幸福地一笑，因为她虽然将要在黄昏中死去，却已在清晨寻得了自己从未有过的爱情。 然而这笑容在管宁眼中，却远比世上最最凄惨的哭声还要悲哀。他想到这少女竟将她身上仅有的一粒灵药，为着自己给了那白袍书生，而此刻等到她的性命需要这粒丹丸延续的时候，却已无计可施了。 “那么……”管宁黯然长叹一声，说道：“我虽不杀伯仁，可是伯仁却为我而死，唉——管宁呀管宁，你常常自命为大丈夫，可是此刻，你却只得眼看着一个少女为着你而死在你的怀中。” 一念至此，他只觉自怨自疚之情，从中而来，不可断绝。 就连他扶着凌影的一双手掌，都不禁为之颤抖起来，因为除了这些感觉之外，更令他感动的是，这少女虽是为他而死，却没有半句怨言。他自幼即负才子之誉，平生受到的称赞与爱护不知多少，可是像这种足以令他刻骨铭心的深情，他却是有生以来第一次感受到。 凌影也感到他手掌的颤抖，她也体会到他此刻的心境。 于是，她强自淡然一笑，道：“你根本没有江湖经验，遇上这种事，上当还情有可原，可是我……我自命聪明，其实，却是个最大的傻瓜！” 她微弱的语声稍稍一顿，又道：“其实我本就早该看出那老头子不是好人了。我方才在说话的时候，他走到我身后我还不知道。如果不是身怀绝技的人，又怎能做到呢？” 她虽想强颜欢笑，却忍不住幽幽一叹，说道：“可是，你看我有多笨，我还是将那盏茶喝了下去，不过——” 话犹未了——门外夜色之中，突地传来一阵狂笑之声，一人随意作歌道：“壮志消磨已尽，恩仇何时可了，来也匆匆，去也匆匆，数十年有限年华，转眼烟逝云消，咄——去去，休休，说什么壮志难消，说什么恩仇未了，且将未尽年华，放荡山水逍遥！” 歌声高亢，裂石穿云，前半段唱得悲愤高昂，有如楚王夜歌，后半段却是字字句句俱都是发人深省的龙舟清唱了。 管宁呆呆听着这歌声，只听得如痴如醉，竟忘了出去查看一下，这高歌狂笑之人，是否就是那诡异难测的老年樵子。 哪知歌声一住之后，狂笑之声又响，一个苍劲清朗的口音，缓缓说道：“饭中半滴'七毒神水'，肩上一掌'赤煞毒掌'，茶中半分'追魂夺命散'！这一掌、一水、一散，件件皆是追魂夺命，见血封喉之物。你既是黄山翠袖的弟子，势必也该知道。只是老夫二十年来，已将恩仇看淡，是以毒水只施半滴，毒掌未施毒力，只是稍作警戒，否则纵是大罗金仙，只怕也早已死了三次。” 这语声略为一顿，又道：“你此刻身上虽有毒意，但甚是轻微，只要将老夫留在桌上的一服解毒散服下，半个时辰之内，便可无事。回去寄语黄山翠袖，就说昔年勾漏故人，虽未死去，却已将恩怨仇杀之事忘得干干净净。你两人年纪还轻，日后说话也得留意三分，否则，老夫若是当年脾气，你两人这一刻焉有命在！” 语声亦如歌声，字字声如金石，只听得管宁、凌影俱都目瞪
