The sun is setting and the ancient road is boundless—— The Loess Plateau is almost turned into chaos by the evening wind in late autumn. If your eyesight is not particularly sharp, it is even difficult for you to see the figure coming from the opposite side. When the wind blows, it makes a whistling sound, all of which bring people a sense of desolation and solemnity, especially when the night is darker, this feeling of desolation and desolation also comes along with the night. It's getting thicker and thicker, making people unable to help but want to escape from this kind of place as soon as possible.

However, the surrounding fields are silent, and there is no shelter from the wind at all. Suddenly, you can hear a sound. It is extremely difficult to distinguish what it is, because you can only hear it at the moment after a gust of wind has passed and before another gust of wind arrives. It is extremely short and slight . Then, you can see a squirming shadow on the ground. Of course, in this case, you can't tell whether it is a human shadow or a beast shadow. There was a moaning sound, so you knew it was a figure, but why did the figure crawl on the ground?Is he injured?Is he sick?

And, who is he?Where did it come from? These questions are difficult to answer, but at the moment there is no one in the field, and no one sees him, so naturally no one will think about these difficult questions. He struggled and crawled for a while with great difficulty, his breathing was heavy and short. It was obvious that whether he was injured or sick, it was very serious. The severity made him leave this world forever. Nor is he worthy of nostalgia. At this time, if anyone in the martial arts saw his situation at this time, they would cry out in surprise, and would help him desperately, but who would see him at this moment?

It turns out that this man is very famous in the martial arts world, when mentioning Xie Keng, a knight-errant in the Jianghu, no one would praise him: "A good man!" In the past ten years, he has been a knight-errant everywhere, and there are very few people in the Jianghu who have not received his favor, but he At this moment, who will come to help him? The wind is getting stronger—— Xie Keng felt that the numbness in his body became more and more obvious, he could hardly even crawl, but he did not give up his last hope, and was still struggling. Because the purpose of his existence has not yet been achieved, and what he has been thinking about day and night for ten years has not yet been achieved. His existence in this world is still of great value, otherwise he would really rather die at this moment than endure such a thing. Intense pain.

Should we meet someone?The idea of ​​survival is alive and well.He thought to himself: "Is it true that I should die here, alas! God, you are too unfair?" The most uncomfortable thing for him is that up to now, he still doesn't know who has plotted against him, which makes him have this kind of paralysis that will almost spread all over his body. He also thought about his former enemies, but he hasn't met anyone all the way from Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi? What's more, even if he has enemies, they are very few, because he has been a knight-errant for ten years, and he has always helped the weak with a compassionate heart. As for hoeing the strong?As long as he is not a real villain who is heinous, he will always try to lure him and then let him go.

Because he deeply understands the great pain that the word "resentment" can cause in people's hearts, and there are so many incidents in the martial arts world, which one is not caused by the word "resentment". This is what he has personally experienced, and no words can compare to his own personal experience. Ranger Xie Keng was born in a family of martial arts. In the past, his father Qiumian Mengchang Xie Hengfu was famous all over the world for his righteousness, but because of a tiny accident, he was still murdered by his enemies. Xie Keng was still young at that time, but this hatred had already taken root deeply in his heart.

This hatred made him suffer thousands of hardships to practice martial arts, and after he became skilled, he suffered thousands of hardships and traveled thousands of miles to find traces of his killing his father and enemies. This kind of thing that he personally experienced made him no longer want to make more grudges, and also created his reputation for generosity and righteousness in the world. But who is he plotting against at this moment?This puzzled him. Although he didn't pay attention to it, but a person like him naturally has an instinct that is different from ordinary people, so that he can avoid some disasters that he didn't expect.

But this time, his keen ability seemed to no longer be effective, and he didn't even know when and where he was plotted against, which was absolutely shocking to him. When he came to this wilderness on the Loess Plateau, this feeling of numbness came rushing like water breaking a bank, which he neither expected nor could resist. With so many years of internal strength cultivation, he couldn't hold it any longer, and fell to the ground, even moaning, because besides the paralysis, he also felt an unspeakable pain. What's more serious, this kind of pain and numbness invaded his mind from his limbs at this moment, which made it gradually difficult for him to even think.

At this moment when he was about to lose consciousness, he seemed to hear the voice of someone under the ground, and he laughed at himself, how could there be a voice under the ground? But the human language was so obvious, and there were some coughing sounds in the middle, Xie Keng's thoughts were flustered, and he almost suspected that he was no longer alive. He finally completely lost consciousness, and he couldn't hear human voices and wind at all. Of course, he didn't know that the underground human language he heard last was completely correct, and there were indeed people living under the ground he was crawling on.

The loess in the northwest has a special stickiness. Many people take advantage of this special soil property to build a wall to live in. Xie Keng's shelter happened to be on a high slope, below this high slope, There are quite a few people living on the wall, which is absolutely not the case except in the northwest. When Xie Keng regained consciousness, he did not believe that he had been rescued from the brink of death. Because looking around, there are earth walls all around, with a bit of oily mud yellow, and nothing else, it looks like a tomb. He groaned again, turned slightly, the feeling of numbness still existed, but it was not as intense as before.

At this time, he was even more suspicious, not knowing what happened to him. He has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and this is indeed the first time he has encountered such a thing. It must be known that traveling in the past was far less convenient than it is today. Although Xie Keng had the title of a knight-errant, it was his first time to visit the Northwest, because he had heard rumors that it was his only enemy, Tong Tong, the iron-handed god who killed his father. Has fled to the frontier. Therefore, he doesn't know the local conditions and customs of the northwest, nor the characteristics of the people living in the northwest, and of course he doesn't know that the place where he is hiding at this moment is such a place, so he is naturally terrified. Xie Keng was frightened and frightened, there was one more person in front of him, he was even more startled, he instinctively tried his best to jump up, but he still couldn't do it. This person came very abruptly, as if he had drilled out of the earth wall. In this situation, coupled with this kind of person, Xie Keng couldn't help feeling a little chill in his heart no matter how brave he was. But how do you know that this kind of earthen kiln in the northwest has no door at all, but there is an extra twist at the entrance. As long as you move a little slower, it won't make people look like they drilled out of the wall, especially like Xie Keng. People who have never been to an earthen kiln are more likely to have this illusion. Although the man was still pretending to be tough, the wrinkles on his face and his stooped figure could not conceal his aging brought by the years. There is only his pair of eyes, but they are still shining brightly, without any gloomy color. Therefore, when people saw him for the first time, the feeling he brought to people was extremely disproportionate. Imagine a person with the body and face of an elderly person, but with a pair of young eyes, what kind of impression will it create in the minds of others? Xie Keng worked hard to gather his sanity, he knew that he had to deal with a very strange encounter at this moment, but he himself could not speculate whether this encounter was a blessing or a disaster. Xie Keng's eyes are deep and his forehead is broad, which shows his wisdom and generosity. However, at this moment he was at a loss—— After being silent for a long time, the old man looked at him with a very strange look, as if he was a little afraid of the young man he had rescued in the gust of wind. No one can explain his emotions at this time. He did and missed one thing before. For this thing, he left the place he was familiar with, abandoned his original reputation and wealth, and came to this desolate and desolate place. I stayed for more than twenty years. Quite by chance, he found this dying boy, and even more accidentally, he was able to see the poison that this boy was suffering from, and spent great effort to save him. This cannot but be said to be Xie Keng's luck, one must know that the world is so big, apart from the person who poisoned, the person who can detoxify the poison is indeed very few. But how could this lonely, lonely old man undo this poison for him? This is of course another mystery. Finally, the old man smiled. Although his smile was a bit forced, it was finally a smile. Xie Keng also recovered from his horror. He remembered his situation just now, and felt grateful towards the old man. The old man came over with a smile, gently pressed Xie Keng's shoulder with his hand, and said, "Don't move around." He stretched out his hand to touch Xie Keng's forehead, and his face showed surprise. He opened his eyes, stared at Xie Keng's face closely, glanced around, and said, "I can't see that your internal strength is so deep." He sighed, and said, "It's just that you have enmity with him. Probably sooner or later, you will die unexplainably." Although the old man has lived in the Northwest for a long time, his accent has not changed and he still speaks Hubei Mandarin. It should be noted that the older you get, the more difficult it is to learn other dialects. This is almost a common feature of human beings. Xie Keng was startled, his face changed suddenly, and he asked: "Who did I have an enmity with—" He was really surprised by the old man's words. The old man frowned, and said, "Don't you know him?" He paused slightly, and then continued, "Looking at you, you probably have spent a lot of time in the Jianghu, and you are also famous in the martial arts world. , have you not heard of him?" Xie Keng took a deep breath, suddenly remembered a person, and blurted out: "It's him?" The old man nodded slightly. Xie Keng let out a long sigh and said, "That's strange, I never had any enmity with him?" Turning his head, he saw the old man's skinny hand pressing on his shoulder, the color was like lacquer ink, so dark that it shone with brilliance, his heart suddenly moved, and his face changed even more. He began to calmly adjust the zhenqi in his body, because at this time he had already foreseen what would happen in the future. "I hope my prediction is wrong." He thought to himself: "In any case, he is kind to me at last. If I really guessed right," he sighed secretly, and continued to think: "Then I really don't know what to do. Well, the worst thing is that my guess turned out to be right." He peeked at the old man's hand again, and the old man was looking up at the kiln roof, as if he was thinking about something. Xie Keng worked hard to clarify his distracting thoughts and concentrated his mind on this matter. "Since I was poisoned by the 'Shadow Poison', and this old man was able to save me, it seems that my guess is not wrong." He thought to himself, "What's more, his hand actually matches what I heard." He circulated his zhenqi extremely slowly for a week, although there was no hindrance, it was still not smooth. So he was angry with his dantian, suppressed all thoughts, and started the second run. The old man lowered his head and glanced at him again, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. "It's really like him. Apart from father and son, I believe there will never be anyone who is so similar." The old man's long brows were still furrowed, as if there was an inextricable knot in his heart. He thought to himself: "What if He is really the son of Qiumian Mengchang—” He looked at the young man lying quietly in front of him, his complexion gradually changed from pale to rosy, of course he knew that he was exercising true energy. "There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Qiumian Mengchang's son is a man of great righteousness, and his hatred for me is as deep as the ocean." He felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but sighed again, thinking to himself: "Oh, I was once a man in the past. I am angry, I did this wrong thing, but I have suffered so much in the past 20 years, and I am deeply repentant, and people should forgive me." "He just looked at my hand twice, could it be that he already knows who I am, so he is running Zhenqi—" "At this moment, as long as I stretch out my hand lightly, I can touch his Jiangtai acupoint, then I don't have to worry about anything, but can I do this?" He was so conflicted that he didn't even know what to do. For one wrong thing, he had spent the best time of his life to make up for it. Can he do the second one now? So, he made the smartest, but also the stupidest decision for himself: "Anyway, I am old, and I see life much less. If he really wants to do something to me, then let him do it. The debts I owed others in the past should have been repaid long ago." He closed his eyes too, and although he knew what was going to happen, he didn't care about it. When Xie Keng felt that most of his internal energy had recovered and he was confident that he could handle everything, he opened his eyes, only to see the old man still standing quietly in front of him. The old man's hands were hanging down, and the color from wrist to fingertips was indeed darker than ordinary people. "Black Iron Hand!" The name was repeated in his mind: "Except for Black Iron Hand Tong Tong, who in the martial arts can practice 'Black Iron Palm' to such a degree?" He became more confident in his speculation, but he couldn't make a decision on how to deal with the old man, which was exactly the same as the old man's psychology. Although more than 20 years have passed since the enmity between Black Iron Hand Tong Tong and Qiu Mian Mengchang Xie Hengfu, people in the Jianghu have not forgotten it, because that incident left a deep impression on people at that time . What's more, Qiu Mian Mengchang's descendant is a loyal man praised by the people in the world, and he has gone through hardships in order to avenge his ancestors, which is seen by all people in the world. Therefore, this matter is still mentioned by people in Jiang Hu from time to time, and the outcome of this matter is also of great concern to everyone. More than 20 years ago, when Qiu Mian Mengchang was the most famous, Xie Garden in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, almost became the only place for people in the martial arts to seek refuge from disasters and seek food and clothing. Qiu Mian Mengchang's ancestors were in business, and their family wealth was huge. Kungfu was passed down from Shaolin, and it has already been well established. He dedicates his righteousness to wealth, and gathers many martial arts heroes from all over the world. Although there are not three thousand diners in his family, the seats are always full, the wine in the bottle is always full, and he has a wide range of friends, which is unparalleled at that time. But when he was young as a hero, he also made a lot of enemies. It's just that after he became a man, his temperament changed a lot. If you try to be an enemy, you will definitely not be able to please, so you have to endure it. Qiu Mian Mengchang's mood changed drastically, knowing that all the beams he had made had been untied, so he never expected that he had unintentionally insulted a person in the past, but it was the cause of his death. Things in the world are often beyond people's expectations. When Meng Chang was a young man, Qiumian Mengchang was happy with his grievances, and there were at least a dozen underworld people who died under his hands. These Liangzi are supposed to be extremely difficult to understand, but he But it can be solved one by one. And he unintentionally insulted a rude young man in the market place. Although it was just a slap in the face, the young man kept it firmly in his heart. Over the years, he worked hard on himself, and besides learning to be extremely vicious, it is difficult for others to master it. In addition to martial arts, he also won the favor of the biggest devil in the martial arts at that time, which made Qiu Mian Meng Changkong possess martial arts, and lost his life in a short time. How could this be expected by Qiu Mian Mengchang? The palm strength of the black iron palm is both poisonous and strong, but if one wants to practice this kind of palm strength, the hardships are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Tong Tong has few pupils and is lonely, wandering around in the market, although most of what he does is shady things, but the enthusiasm of the young man makes him put "righteousness" first in everything, so he can be regarded as a hero among scoundrels. He bumped into Qiu Mian Mengchang by accident, it was indeed unintentional, he didn't look at it at all, and was about to walk away, but he was slapped on the face by Xie Hengfu. If it was another person, maybe one day, maybe ten days, or at most one or two months later, he would forget about it, but Tong Tong didn't, he would always remember it in his heart. So he pursued his art very hard, and was actually trained by him into the black iron palm, which is rarely practiced by anyone in the martial arts. He used this martial arts secret skill to go all over the world. It is very famous, and Qiu Mian Mengchang has also heard of it. It's just that he didn't know that the famous black iron hand was the rascal boy he slapped in the past. Finally, Hei Tieshou went to fight Qiumian Mengchang. It was the day when Qiumian Mengchang celebrated his only son's tenth birthday. The Xie Garden in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province is naturally full of guests and guests, from the two rivers to the east and west, from the north and the south of the river, famous and famous people, as long as they are not in a hurry, almost all of them are here. On that day, Hei Tieshou took Qiu Mian Mengchang's life. Xie Hengfu was a hero all his life, and died in a terrible condition. Before he died, he told a heinous thing. That was the reason why he was fatal, not because he was hit by the black iron hand's palm, but because he was unknowingly poisoned by the shadowless man whose expression changed when he heard about it. Hei Tieshou Tongtong left in disorder, but regretted it. This is a common problem among people. Before something is done, they wishful thinking, but after the thing is over, they can't help but blame themselves. What's more, he also knew that Qiu Mian Mengchang had too many friends in the Wulin, and he couldn't gain a foothold in the Central Plains Wulin, so he went far to the northwest, and stayed in this desolate place for more than 20 years. Over the years, he has been thinking behind closed doors, and his heart is even more uncomfortable. It turns out that he is not evil in nature, but he is too narrow-minded and takes grievances too seriously. There are two ways of saying this. The grievances and grievances are clearly distinguished, which is the true nature of a man, but he must be repaid, which is a bit close to the behavior of a villain. At this moment, the case of more than 20 years seems to have come to a conclusion, but the entanglement of the matter has made the orphan Xie Keng, who has been seeking revenge for more than 20 years, receive Tong Tong's life-saving grace. Therefore, the two emotions of revenge for killing his father and gratitude for saving his life collided in Xie Keng's heart, making this upright man completely stunned for a moment. This scene is so delicate and peculiar that no one can describe it. "Maybe he doesn't know who I am right now?" Xie Keng sneered slightly, thinking to himself: "The pursuit of more than twenty years has finally come to fruition today." Although the resentment was deep in his heart, when he looked up, saw Tong Tong's old face, and thought of the great kindness he had shown him, such deep and long-standing resentment seemed to have been diluted a lot. Tong Tong coughed lightly and opened his eyes suddenly, which added a lot of vitality to his old face. The two looked at each other, and Tong Tong asked with a slight smile, "Is your surname Xie?" Although the smile made people look like a smile, he was still smiling. Xie Kengke was taken aback, and blurted out, "How do you know?" Tong Tong smiled again, looked far away on the earth wall, and said, "I think you probably know who I am." He laughed again, and more sighs were mixed in the laughter, and he said slowly: "Blood debts are paid with blood, I, Tong, know this best, since you are the husband of Xie Heng, I owed you more than twenty years ago, I'll give it back to you today." He opened his eyes, suddenly filled with arrogance, as if he had changed into a different person, and said loudly: "I'm not afraid of you, you need to know this, it's just..." He sighed dejectedly, and his old look returned to his rage, and he continued: "It's just that I am so old, and my ambition has long been exhausted. If you want to do something, please hurry up." As he spoke, he quietly closed his eyes again, as if he didn't care about anything anymore. Nothing made Xie Keng so uncomfortable like this moment. This was the most difficult thing he had encountered in his life, and he had to solve it no matter what. The only enemy in his life and the greatest benefactor in his life are actually the same person. He slowly raised his body and stood on the ground slowly. At this moment, he was facing Tong Tong face to face. He looked more distinct and distinct. There was another silence in the kiln—— It made it feel more like a grave, and suddenly— In this extreme silence, there was a crisp laughter, which was indeed too inappropriate for this scene. Tong Tong and Xie Keng were startled at the same time, they turned around halfway, their eyes moved, but they saw that there was suddenly one more person in the cave. It was a young girl, at a glance, she had a graceful figure and a fairy-like grace, and under the dim light, it made people feel like a fairy suddenly. With a light smile on her face, she looked at Tong Tong and Xie Keng, but Tong Tong and Xie Keng were truly shocked by her. "Who could this be?" Both of them had this kind of thought. Under the desolate loess plateau, in the cold autumn night, in such a bleak earthen kiln, it is almost unbelievable to find such a girl up. The girl smiled uncontrollably, her head was full of hair, probably because of the wind outside, she was wrapped in a deep purple ropa, and she was also wearing dark purple clothes all over her body. Under this kind of light, anyone would change her clothes The color is seen as black. Not only are Xie Keng and Tong Tong both veterans of the Jianghu for decades, but their martial arts are so high that they can be counted as top masters in the Jianghu. But at this time, they were shocked by this young girl. One reason is that this young girl broke in without their awareness, one can imagine the wonderful lightness. Furthermore, of course they were all confused by the girl's origin. The girl smiled sweetly, and walked over gracefully, the closer she got, the more Xie Keng felt that she was extremely beautiful, especially the two dimples on her cheeks were even more intoxicating. A feeling of fear rose in his heart again, this feeling was exactly the same as when he saw Xie Keng's face for the first time, because this girl's face reminded him of another person, and this person was also the same person from the past. Hei Tieshou, who once dominated for a while, was deeply afraid. Xie Keng only felt his heart flutter, he was already thirty years old, and he had been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, this kind of heart shaking feeling was indeed the first time he had it today. "Are you not dead yet?" This was the girl's first sentence. Although she said it with a smile, Xie Keng completely forgot the beauty of the girl's smile when he heard it. The poison was inflicted by this young girl, otherwise how could she say such words?" Unexpectedly, the girl turned her face away, smiled and said to Tong Tong: "Did you save him?" The panic in Tong Tong's heart was even worse than that of Xie Keng, his already pale complexion was now even more haggard. The girl still smiled like a lily, and even her eyes were full of smiles. She raised her hand lightly, her spring-like fingers almost pointed to Tong Tong's face, and said, "Don't tell me, I know you saved him, I'm so strange——" She paused on purpose, her bright eyes flicked around Tong Tong and Xie Keng. Tong Tong couldn't help asking, "What are you wondering about?" The girl let out a "puchi", laughed out loud, and said, "I'm surprised you, my mother asked me to follow this man for thousands of miles, but you—" She turned her hand, her fingers almost poked Xie Keng's face, and then said: "But you rescued him, tell me, isn't that strange?" Xie Keng was stunned, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, it was her who did it!" His eyes carefully slid over her body, and he thought to himself: "Who would have thought that such a girl is actually a murderer without blinking an eye!" After moving, she thought again: "Hearing her tone, the demon leader 'Shadowless Man' who made the seven most famous bodyguards in Jianghu disappear overnight is actually a woman. Alas, How can this be imagined?" Tong Tong's face was ashen, and he blurted out, "Is your mother here too?" In his tone, it was obvious that he was very afraid of the girl's mother. The girl smiled again and said: "See why you are so nervous, mom won't come." She walked two steps, sat on the kang, and said again: "You think your mother doesn't know about you hiding here? Huh! Then you are wrong, what does your mother not know about your every move?" Tong Tong and the girl asked and answered, Xie Keng was really confused, he vaguely guessed that the black iron hand must have had some entanglements with the shadowless man in the past. And this kind of entanglement must be related to the word "love". But what's strange is that this girl is only seventeen or eighteen years old at most, while Hei Tieshou has been living in the northwest for more than twenty years. For so many years, the Black Iron Hand and the Shadowless Man have never met, which can be heard from the conversation between the girl and him. Then of course this girl was not born by Tong Tong, but who is the father of this girl? This was the first thing Xie Keng couldn't understand. Furthermore, Tong Tong seems to be very afraid of the shadowless man, why is a man afraid of a woman who has feelings for him? Also, more than twenty years ago, Wu Yingren was only a young girl in her twenties at most. How could a young girl be so cruel and merciless, and how could she act so secretly? What puzzled Xie Keng the most was, what kind of means did this shadowless man use to poison people, and he killed people without the other party being aware of it, and most of the other parties were martial arts masters. As far as he is concerned, not to mention his martial arts, he has a lot of experience in the world, but he has suffered huge injuries from others, and he doesn't even know who the opponent is, when and where he killed him, isn't it too strange? He leaned over and pondered, but he didn't pay much attention to Tong Tong and the girl's actions. But someone outside the kiln coughed twice again. It stands to reason that on such a windy night, coughing outside the kiln should be hard to hear. But the strange thing is that although the two coughs are not loud, they are like the person coughing lightly next to your ears, and you can tell the depth of the internal energy of the person outside the kiln. What kind of character was Xie Keng? From the cough, he quickly judged that this person's skill was high, especially above his own. He couldn't help being horrified: "Where does such a master come from here, and who is this person? There are not many martial arts seniors who are stronger than me, and I have never heard of such a master in the Northwest." It must be known that Xie Keng is already a top expert in the martial arts, knowing that there are people whose skill is higher than his own, it is natural to be surprised, and it is natural to have such speculations. Why didn't Tong Tong think so in his heart, and his expression changed after hearing the sound. Only the young girl frowned slightly with her long and beautiful black eyebrows, and spat in a low voice: "I hate it, I'm following you again." With a shake of her shoulders, she didn't make any gestures, and she had already escaped outside the kiln. Tong Tong and Xie Keng faced each other face to face, and there was a mutual grievance between them. At this moment, it was even more impossible to make a decision. Tong Tong was still fine, and the conflict in Xie Keng's heart could be imagined at this moment. Especially when this matter involves a third party, he finds it even more difficult. As far as the matter is concerned, the girl is undoubtedly on Tong Tong's side, and she is alone against Tong Tong, so she is confident and sure. But if you add this young girl who has high martial arts skills and can use poison, then the situation is completely different. What's more, Tong Tong is kind to him, so it is reasonable, how can he do it? If you don't do it yourself, then it's nothing. I haven't done it all these years just to end my father's feud. There was an uneasy light in his eyes. Hei Tieshou wandered around the market when he was a child, and wandered in the rivers and lakes in his prime. He couldn't tell anything. Of course he knew Xie Keng's state of mind at this time. He sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "I have lived for fifty or sixty years, and I have already seen through everything in life. In the past sixty years, I may have experienced more than others in a hundred years. At this time, I will be considered as dead. , you can rest in peace." He raised his head, fixed his eyes on Xie Keng's eyes, and said, "You do it, I will never blame you." If Tong Tong turned against Xie Keng at this time, Xie Keng would definitely do it desperately. But when he said this, Xie Keng felt more and more uncomfortable. This is the common trait of every man. For a moment, he stood there in a daze, his thoughts were chaotic and he couldn't explain himself. The figure flickered, and the girl came in again, and said with a smile: "What are you doing?" She raised her jade hand, and a very gentle wind of her palm floated on Xie Keng's body. Xie Keng was startled, he turned back and pulled up violently, he was afraid that the girl's swipe of the palm contained that domineering poison. Unexpectedly, he exerted too much force, the earth kiln was only about Zhang Xu high, as soon as he jumped up, his head immediately hit the top of the earth kiln, with a "bang", the impact made his head faintly painful. The girl laughed and said: "Don't be nervous!" Xie Keng fell to the ground, his face was flushed, he had never been in such an embarrassing situation since his debut, even though his head hurt, he didn't even dare to touch it. Tong Tong couldn't laugh anymore at this time, he felt guilty and voluntarily died, not because he was afraid of Xie Keng's power in the Jianghu, but because he did something wrong on the day he slapped Meng Chang , although that is not his responsibility. He practiced black iron palms hard, and lived in a very secret place deep in the mountains. At this time, he accidentally rescued a poisoned girl. At that time, he hadn't learned the method of detoxification, but after his careful care, the girl was a great expert in this way. Tong Tong was so talented that he actually saved the girl. The girl claimed her surname was Ding, her name was Ding Ling, she refused to say anything else, and was willing to thank Tong Tong for saving her life with her body. But although Tong Tong is not kind, he is indeed a real man and refuses to take advantage of others' danger. Only then was Ding Ling truly grateful, and told Tong Tong about her background. It turned out that this poisoned girl was actually a shadowless person who became disaffected by the news in the world. She was lonely when she was young, and before she was fourteen years old, she was tortured by seven or eight rascals in turn. For many years after that, she was ravaged even more. When she got a copy of the secret book "Poison Classic" left by the martial arts legend "Poison King Jin Yipeng" more than a hundred years ago, she did not hesitate to brave all kinds of hardships to walk into the deep mountain. Ze, learned everything contained in the Poison Sutra. Jin Yipeng, the poisonous lord, was a strange man of his generation. He was honored as the two lords of the north and the south together with the "Seven Wonderful Gods". This Poison Sutra is the quintessence of his life's painstaking efforts. After being obtained by another strange person at that time, Xin Jie, Xin Jie was so talented that he realized many wonderful recipes for poisoning. Martial arts are great, and the skills are all over the world. Although there is this Poison Sutra, it is not of great use. In his later years, Xin Jie became enlightened and cultivated both good fortune and longevity. He no longer had a young and eccentric temperament, but became simple and honest. Of course, he would not be able to use this "Poison Sutra". But he didn't want to destroy this kind of secret book, so he buried it in the secret valley of Wuhua Mountain where he happened to meet the "seven wonderful gods" Mei Shanmin running the bull. It was also a coincidence that Ling Ling got it by accident. The most wonderful thing is that there is a broken page on practicing the "Shadow Floating Fragrance" mental method in the poisonous scripture. It was a broken page from when Xin Jie recorded his life's martial arts achievements into a book in his later years. He made a mistake and inserted it into the Poison Sutra, but he created a female devil more than a hundred years later!This was not what Xin Jie expected at the time. Ding Ling is also a smart person, she actually practiced lightness kung fu from this broken page, thinking that this "Shadow Floating Fragrance" is Xin Jie's secret skill to become famous, how can it be compared with ordinary lightness kung fu? So even though it was just a broken page, it was enough for Ding Ling to use up. Unexpectedly, she wallows in poison all day long, and one day she will be poisoned too. When she was concocting a very powerful poisonous weed, she was careless for a moment, and she was also severely poisoned. That's why Tongtong saved her. When she told Tongtong all this, Tongtong also told her everything about herself. Ding Ling was humiliated in her life, and no one helped her. When he received Tong Tong's great kindness and saw that Tong Tong was a real man, he couldn't help but develop affection for Tong Tong. Unexpectedly, Tong Tong has only friendship for her, but no love, which is often the case with the wonders of the world.What people love is often those who don't love themselves, while those who love themselves are not loved by themselves. Is this why the idiots and resentments in the world come from this. In the same way, the colder Tong Tong is towards Ding Ling, the more Ding Ling feels that he is a gentleman, and his heart is more firmly attached to him. In this way, she has stayed with Tong Tong in the deep mountains for many years. Tong Tong's black iron palm can achieve great success, and of course Ding Ling who is by his side has given him a lot of help. Later, the black iron hand Jinan seeks revenge, and Ding Ling poisons Meng Chang's body without waiting for him to do it. After Tong Tong knew about it, he was unable to stop it. So Tongtong felt ashamed and fled to the northwest. Ding Ling never found him for more than 20 years, and he gradually forgot about this sinful relationship. He only hoped that he could spend the rest of his life in this lonely and desolate place. In this way, his state of mind is naturally difficult, and he may not feel much about letting a person who has achieved nothing live like this. But the black iron hand has already been well-known in the rivers and lakes, and he is in the middle of his life. Every spring morning and autumn night, he remembers the past and feels lonely. Naturally, there is a certain reason. Over the past twenty years, he has wasted the best time of his life in this kind of life, only that the world has forgotten it, because he is used to forgetting everything. Unexpectedly, good fortune tricks people, and this happened to him again today. When he saw the young girl for the first time, he knew that she must be Ding Ling's descendant, because they were so similar. So the two things that hurt him the most in the past haunted him again. How could this lonely old man still have the mood to laugh? 那少女依然巧笑倩然，看起来像是快乐已极，哪知人们的内心所想之事，又岂是人可以从外貌上看得出的呢！ 丁伶自童瞳远遁后，心情之恶劣与空虚，使得这女魔头居然隐居了许久，世上的一切事，她都抱着不闻不问之态。 哪知她隐居越久，心情也就越发空虚，这是世上所有的妙龄少女——尤其是思春期间的少女都有的心情，何况丁伶的心扉，已被童瞳打开，被撞开心扉的女子，又更容易觉得寂寞的。 数年过去，这空虚的少女芳心终于被另一人的情感所填满了。 武当派的入室弟子石坤天，就在丁伶心情最寂寞的时候，占据了她的芳心，虽然丁伶的心目中童瞳的地位不是任何人所能替代的。 以一个玄门正宗武当派的门徒，竟和江湖上声名最恶的女魔头成婚，这自然是一件非常奇怪的事，幸好丁伶的底蕴无人知道，江湖中连无影人是男是女都无法推测，更不会知道这丁伶就是无影人了。 十数年之后，他们的女儿石慧也长成了，非但学得了乃母的一身功夫和毒经秘技，乃父的一身内家真传也得了十之七八，只是乃母严戒“毒经”所载之术，不到万不得已之时，不得轻露罢了。 可是丁伶对童瞳的关心，数十年未尝一日忘记，女子对她第一个恋人，永远是刻骨铭心的。 于是石慧奉母之命来除去童瞳最大的对头、江湖上素负义名的游侠谢铿。 无影之毒，天下无双，连江湖历练那么丰富的谢铿，也在无影无形之中受了剧毒，若不是巧遇童瞳，一条命便要不明不白的丧在黄土高原上。 石慧奉命施毒，再跟踪查看，却发现谢铿未死。 最令她奇怪的事是救了谢铿的人竟是童瞳，她聪明绝顶，谢铿与童瞳之间的矛盾，她瞬即就了然了。 她也不免为她母亲昔年的情人感到难受，芳心暗忖：“我若是这两人其中的任何一人，我也不知道究竟该怎么做。” 此外，她心中还有一件秘密，秘密当然和方才在土窑外的咳嗽声有关，只是这秘密是完全属于她的，别人自然无法知道。 小小一间土窑里，竟有三个身怀绝世武功的男女，而这三个男女之间恩怨互结，心事也各异。 唯一相同的是，这三人的心中都丝毫没有愉快的感觉罢了。 局面是僵持的，谁也无法打开这僵局。 外面风声越来越大，风声带起的那一种刺耳的感觉，也越来越凌厉。 童瞳暗暗皱眉，他在这里二十多年，这么大的风，倒是第一次遇到过。 石慧轻轻用手掩住耳朵，悄声道：“这风声好难听。” 声犹未了，只听得惊天动地般的一声大震，童瞳面如死灰，惨呼道：“土崩！”声音里恐惧的意味如死将临。 石慧尚在懵憧之中，谢铿久历江湖，一听土崩两字，也是惨然色变。 童瞳和谢铿都是经过大风大浪的人物，立刻便想到该如何应付这突生之变，在这生死一线的关头里，他们数人之间的恩怨，倒全忘记了。 可是他们念头尚未转完，另一声大震接着而来，这不过是刹那间的事。 随着这一声巨震，这土窑的四壁也崩然而落，三人但觉一阵晕眩，眼前尘土迷乱，仿佛天地在这一刹那间都毁灭了。 黄土高原上的土崩绝少发生，是以居民才敢凿土而居，但每一发生，居住在黄土高原上的居民，逃生的机会确是少之又少的。 就在这土原崩落之际，童瞳的土窑外一条灰色人影冲天而起，身法之惊人，更不是任何人可以想象得到的。 尘土迷漫，砂石飞扬，大地成了一片混沌，尘土崩落的声音，将土窑里居民的惨呼完全掩没了。 大劫之后，风声顿住，一切又恢复静寂了。 只是先前的那一片土原，此时已化为平地，人迹渺然，想是都埋在土堆之下了。 a long time-- 有一堆黄土突然动了起来，土堆下突然钻出一个人头，发髻蓬乱，满脸尘土，接着露出全身，此刻若有人在旁看到，怕不要惊奇得叫起来才怪。 皆因这种土崩声势最是惊人，被埋在黄土之下的人，居然还能逃得性命，这简直是奇迹了。 那人钻出土堆后，长长吐了一口气，但呼吸仍是急促的。 这个人在砂土下屏住呼吸那么久，当他呼吸到第一口空气时，其欢喜的程度，真比沙漠中的行旅发现食水时还要强烈多倍。 谢铿此时的心情就是如此的，这种由死中回生的感觉，他虽不是第一次，但不可否认的，这次却是最为确切而明显。 当黄土下溃时，他已没有时间多作思索，在这生死一线之际，他需要极大的机智和勇气，来为保护自己的性命作一决定。 这种土崩，和河水溃堤时毫无二致，就在这种短暂的一刹那里，谢铿聪明的选择了一条最好的路。 这几乎是出于本能的，因为他不可能有这种经验，他立刻屏住呼吸，纵身上跃，黄土也就在他纵起身形的那一刻里崩然而下。 他扬手发出一阵极为强烈的掌风，那虽然不能抵挡住势如千钧而下的黄土，但却将那种下压之势稍微阻遏了一些，这样砂土击在他的头及身上时，也稍微减轻了一些力量。 于是他在空中再次借力上腾，这全靠他数十年的轻功修为了。 他两次上腾的这段时间内，黄土已有不少落在地面上，是以当他无法再次上腾时，压在他身上的黄土便大为减少了。 这当然是他能在这次土崩中逃生的原因，任何事对人来说，幸运与否，是全在他自身有没有将这件事处理得妥善，至于天命，那不过仅是愚蠢的人对自己的错误所做的遁词罢了。 谢铿很快的恢复了正常的呼吸，这是一个内功深湛的人所特有的能力，抬头一望，苍穹浩浩，虽无星月，然而在谢铿此刻的眼中，已经是非常美丽的了，他苦叹了口气，方才当砂土压在他身上时所发生的窒息感觉，此刻已远离他而去了。 他略为舒散了一下筋骨，四顾大地，暗黑而沉重。 这时候，他才有时间想起许多事，而第一件进入他脑海的，便是土崩前和他同室而处的人此刻会怎样了呢？ 唯一的答案就是仍然在土堆之下，这谢铿当然知道，这时他内心又不禁起了矛盾。 若他此时甩手一走，童瞳和那少女自然就永远埋身在土堆之下，这么一来，方才谢铿所感到的难题不就全部解决了吗？ 只是凡事以“义”为先的谢铿却做不出这种事来，他暗忖：“方才我身中剧毒，那'黑铁手'若不来救我，我等不到这次土崩，早就死了，此恩不报，我谢铿还算人吗？” “虽然他与我有不共戴天之仇，但那也只有等到以后再说了，大丈夫恩怨该分明，仇固然要报，恩也是非报不可的。” 他决心一下，再无更改，俯首下望方才自己钻出来的地方，略为揣量了一下地势，暗忖：“他们也该在我身旁不远的地方。”真气运行，贯注双手，朝土堆上猛然一推一扫。 黄土崩落后，就松散的堆着，被他这一推一扫，立刻荡开一大片，他双掌不停，片刻之间，已被他荡开了一个土坑。 但这种土崩声势何等惊人，黄土何止千万吨，岂是他片刻之间能扫开一处的？尤其是他剧毒初愈，虽说内力惊人，但总不及平日的威力，他一鼓作气，先前还好，但后力总是不继了。 汗珠涔涔而落，他也不顾，这时他心中唯有一个念头，那就是救出和他同时被压在黄土下的两个人。 至于他们在土堆之下能否生存，却不是他能顾及得到的了。 “无论如何，我这只是尽心而已……”他双掌一扬，掌风飕然，又荡起一片黄土，暗忖道：“否则我问心有愧，将终生遗憾的。” 夜寒如冰，黄土高原上秋天的夜风已有刺骨的寒意，但是他浑身大汗，却宛如置身于炎日里。 那黄土堆少说也厚达数丈，此刻竟已被他荡开一个丈许深的土坑，由此可见，他掌力之雄。游侠谢铿在江湖上能享盛名，确非幸致。 但饶是如此，要想将土堆荡开一个能够见底的土坑，还是非常困难，何况即使荡成一坑，童瞳和那少女是否就在这土坑下，也是个极大的问题，但谢铿此刻却浑然想不起这一切了。 谢铿气息咻咻，真力实已不继，他每次一扬掌时所挥出的掌风越来越微弱，荡起的黄土自然也就越来越少了。 他停下了手，静息了片刻，体内的真气舒泰而完美的运行了数周，便再次开始第二次努力。 黄土荡开后，便堆在两边，土坑更深，他掌力运用时自然也就更困难，到后来简直连他自己都觉得有些不可能了。 但他一生行事，只要他自认为这件事是该做的，他就去做，从来不问这事是否困难，此刻他虽无把握达成目的，但仍绝不收手，这就是他异于常人之处，也是他享有义名之由。 蓦然，他猛然收摄了将要发出的掌力，因为他在黄土迷漫中发现了一只穿着草鞋的脚，毫无疑问的那属于黑铁手的。 他大喜之下，纵身人坑，伸手一抄，那只脚入手冰凉，他又一惊，暗忖：“他难道已经死了？” 这念头一闪而过：“无论如何，即使他死了，我也该将他好生埋葬，从此我才算恩仇了了，不欠别人，别人也不欠我了。”他暗自思忖，左掌一挥，捉着那只脚的右手猛一用力外拉，黄土再次飞扬，弄得他一脸，他左掌如刀，往黄土上一插，硬生生的插了进去。 他感觉到左手已触及童瞳的身躯，于是他再一用力，忽然想到：“如果这样拖他出来，他头面岂非要被擦破？” 这时候，可显出他的为人来了，童瞳虽然生死未明，他却不忍让人家身体受损。 于是他双手一齐用力，将土坑又掘了一个洞，这么一来，上面的黄土又往下松落，他心里一急，双手一推，竟以内家正宗的排出掌力击向土堆，双手随即向童瞳的身躯一抄。 想这土堆已松落，怎禁得起他这种掌力，随即又陷了一个洞，上面的黄土又崩然而落。 就在这急不容发的一刻里，他抄起童瞳的身躯，双脚微一弓曲，身形暴退，掠出坑外。 这么一来，那土坑自然又被上面溃落的黄土填平，谢铿不禁暗呼侥幸，因为再迟一刻，他又要被埋在土堆之下了。 他略微缓了口气，对童瞳的生存本已未抱太大希望。 哪知他伸手一探童瞳的胸口，竟还微温，再一探鼻息，似乎也像未死，此刻他的心境本该高兴，因为他全力救出的人并未死去。 可是人类的心理往往就是如此矛盾，他一想到自家与此人之间的恩怨难了，心思一时又像给阻塞住了。 秋风肃寂，四野无人，他一伸手，二十多年的仇怨便可了结，但是他既救出此人，又焉有再将此人致死的道理？ 他缓缓的捉着童瞳的两只手，上下扳弄了几次，双掌再满聚真气，竟拼着自家真气的消耗，来为与自己恩仇缠结的人推拿。 当童瞳恢复知觉的时候，第一眼看到的自然也是谢铿，那时他心中的感觉，更难以言喻。 谢铿看到他睁开眼睛来，自己却已累得浑身骨节都像拆散，疲惫的躺了下来，身体下的黄土虽不柔软却已足够舒服了。 他刚好躺在童瞳身侧，两人呼吸互闻，睁眼所望的，也是同一片天空，但是又有谁会了解这两人从此开始恩已结清，所剩下的只有仇了呢！ 良久，东方似已现出白色，晓色已经来了。 他们都已缓过气来，童瞳可算是老于世故的了，他仰视着已现曙色的天空，缓缓道：“我救了你一次，你也救了我一次，你问心可说无愧，现在，我想你总可以动手了吧！” 不知怎的，谢铿又觉得有种说不出来的难受，一时竟未答话。 童瞳又道：“你若认为杀一个不回手的人是件不光荣的事，我也可以奉陪阁下走几招！” 他干笑了几声，接着说道：“我年纪虽老，功夫可还没有丢下，姓谢的，你接不接得住还不一定呢？” 口锋仍厉，但语气中却不禁流露出英雄迟暮时那种苍凉之意。 谢铿沉吟了一会，道：“胜负虽难料，但今日就是你我一决生死的时候了。”他顿了顿，又道：“我也知道，我虽然也救了你一次，并不能说你的恩我已报清了，只是杀父之仇……” 童瞳忽然打断了他的话，道：“闲话少说，现在你我之间已不相欠，还是手底见输赢最好。” 此时他语气一反先前的软弱，听起来还像是他已然发怒。 其实他用心良苦，因为他明知道谢铿不会向一个没有回手之力的人下手，因此故意用话相激。 谢铿一生好义，他却不知道这老人对他也可说是义重如山呢。 两人不约而同，几乎是同时由地上窜了起，童瞳微微挽了挽衣袖，因为他此时所穿的仅是普通衣着而已，并非谢铿所穿的那种紧身之衣。 他一抬头，正好瞪在谢铿脸上，不禁暗忖：“果然是条汉子！” 谢铿燕颔虎目，鼻如悬胆，是江湖上有名的英俊男子，只不过缺少些潇洒飘逸的风度而已。 两人相对而立，四目凝视，竟谁也发不出第一招来。 晨风渐起，金鸟东升，虽然有风，却是个晴朗的天气。 童瞳眼光一瞬，暗忖：“这人倒真是个义气汉子，我童瞳一生中恶多于善，今日倒要成全这孝子。”他多年独居，已将性情陶冶得处处能替别人着想，他生活虽然孤寂，若说生命对他已绝无留恋，那还是欺人之谈的。 须知无论任何人，纵然他活得十分困苦，但对生命仍然是留恋的，此刻童瞳却愿以自己的死来成全别人，这份善良的勇气，已足可弥补他在多年前所做的罪恶了。 于是他再不迟疑，口中低喝：“接招！”身形一晃，左掌横切，猛击谢铿的头部，右掌直出，中途却倏然划了个小圈，变掌为指，指向谢铿右乳下一寸之处的乳泉穴。 这一招两式快如闪电，黑铁掌力举世无二，掌虽未到，谢铿已经觉出一种阴柔而强的掌风飕然向他袭来。 他久经大敌，当然知道厉害，身形的溜溜一转，将童瞳这一招巧妙的从他身侧滑开。 右掌一穿，却从童瞳这两式的空隙中倏然而发，避招发招，浑如一体，脚步一错，却不等这招用老，左掌已击向童瞳胸腹。 童瞳傲然一笑，二十多年来，他未与人动手，此时不免存在脾肉复生之意，想试试这誉满江湖的年轻人功力究竟如何。 同时他虽然自愿成全谢铿，但名驹虽老，伏枥却未甘，临死前也在驰跃一番，来证明自己的筋骨并未变老呢！ 于是他猛吐了口气，掌影交错，掌法虽不惊人，而且有些地方的运用已显得有些生硬了。 但是他数十年修为的黑铁掌力，却弥补了他掌法上的弱点，是以谢铿也不免心惊，连换了三种内家正宗的玄门掌法，仍未占得什么便宜，他闯荡江湖，尚以今日一战，最感棘手。 于是他暗忖：“这黑铁手确实有些门道！”争胜之心也大作。 两人这样一来，掌法都更见凌厉，掌风的激荡，使得地上的黄土又飞舞弥天，更增加了这两个内家名手对掌时的声势。 此两人正代表武林中两代人物，谢铿招式变的极快，身形运转亦速，但稍显沉不住气，致有许多极微小的疏漏。 而童瞳身形凝重，却以沉着补救了一切，他见招化招，并不急切的攻人伤敌，这与他二十多年来性情的陶冶，大有关系。 但两人功力却有深浅，童瞳这些年来内功虽有进境，但身手却未免迟钝了些，何况他究竟年老，生理上的机能比不上正值壮年的谢铿，数十个照面一过，已渐落下风了。 但一时半刻之间，谢铿却也无法伤得了他，他双掌黝黑，谢铿也不敢与他对掌，这因为黑铁掌力在武林绝少，在此之前，谢铿也从未遇过。 东升的旭日，片刻之间，却被阴霾所遮，大地上立刻又呈现出一种冷漠凄清的味道。 谢铿暴喝一声，双掌中锋抢出，又是排山掌力，他怎会看不出童瞳已到了力不从心的阶段，是以出此极为冒险的一掌。 童瞳立刻双掌回圈，想硬接他这一掌，当然他也看出谢铿不敢和他对掌，哪知谢铿掌力含蕴未放，腕肘猛沉，掌缘外分，双掌各各划了个半圈，竟由内家掌法变为外家的双撞手。 这一下他招式的变幻大出常理，童瞳一惊，心里突然生出同归于尽之念，根本不去理会对方这一记煞手，双掌原式击出，攻向谢铿胸腹之间的空门。 谢铿一咬牙，也拼着身受一掌，因为他觉得这样在良心上说来，也许还较为好受些。 两人出招俱都快如电光火石，若两人招式一用老，谁也别想逃出活命。 但就在这瞬息之间，童瞳的掌缘已接触到谢铿的衣服，但是他却在这一刻里倏然放弃了与人同归于尽的想法。 是以他双掌仅在谢铿身上轻轻一按，虽然因为他心念的这一变动，招式连带而生的缓慢，即使他想用出全力也不可能了。 谢铿的双撞手却是全力而为，童瞳焉有活路？近百十年来，内家高手死在这种外家拳术之中的，这还是第一次。 谢铿一招得手，心里却凛然冒出一股难言的滋味。 他在发招之时，本也抱着同归于尽之念，哪知人家的双掌却仅仅在自己身上一按，这样何啻人家又救了自己一命。 但对方已然身死，自己想报恩也不能够，何况对方是死在自己手上，此刻他心中这股滋味，却真比死了还难受。 他低头一望童瞳倒下去的尸身，看到他头首破碎，眼珠离眶而出，死状凄惨，不忍卒睹。 一阵风吹来，他觉得有些湿润，愕在那里，不知如何是好。 他多年宿愿已偿，按说应该高兴，只是他此刻心里可没有半点高兴的意味，大野漠然，朔风再起，天气的阴霾和他心中的凄凉恰好成一正比。 他想俯下身去，将这世上惟一对他恩重如山的人的尸身抱起来，他暗骂自己，仇虽已了，恩却依然，男子汉生于世，岂是只顾复仇而不计报恩的，于是他的心情更落寞了。 蓦然，背后起了一声凄凉的长笑，笑声刺骨，谢铿竟机伶地打了个冷战，本来稍稍下俯的身形猛一长身，掠起丈许。 在空中一张臂，身形后转，飘然落在地上，却见一人长衫飘飘，正在对面望着他冷笑。 他一惊，厉喝：“是谁？” 那人走了两步，眼角朝地上的尸身一瞥，冷笑道：“久闻游侠谢铿义名昭著，今日一见，倒叫小弟失望得很！”
