Chapter 8 Chapter Eight Looking Through Autumn Water

it's dark. Shi Hui's eyesight can no longer see very far, and the person she was looking forward to still hasn't returned. She forgot her fatigue and hunger, and her heart seemed to be clogged, and even depression could no longer be accommodated. "Why hasn't he come back yet?" She murmured faintly, thinking: "Could something happen to him? Although his martial arts are good, but when he comes to the residence of the sky demon, I'm afraid it will be more or less dangerous. I should What should I do? What should I do?" Looking at the calm and clear water, she pondered in her heart, not only her limbs became numb, but even her mind became numb and chaotic.

It is impossible to predict the time here, but the night has come, and it seems like it will never go away. The colder and darker the night, she was lost by the Qinghai Lake——of course, what she lost was not herself, but only is her heart. One day, two days... The night of the fourth day has come. If anyone passes by the Qinghai Lake, he will find a abnormal girl here, with disheveled hair and haggard face, staring into the distance. Those beautiful and bright eyes are clearly sank deep. She didn't pay attention to anyone or anything, and the emotions in her heart were so chaotic that even Zhinu couldn't sort it out.

She was anxious and concerned, but this anxiety and concern gradually turned into disappointment, or a little anger. "No matter what, I have to hurry back tonight." She repeated Bai Fei's words, thinking: "No matter what... But why haven't you come back until now?" She began to think of the girl in the red shirt, the smile between the girl in the red shirt and Bai Fei, and thought that Bai Fei might be happy and sweet when she was depressed. This kind of thinking is the most embarrassing. If she had wings on her shoulders, she would rush to Haixin Mountain desperately so that all the questions in her heart could be answered.

Finally, the anger in her heart surpassed her eagerness to wait, and she left the deserted Qinghai Lake alone and lonely. At the same moment when she left, a black shadow rushed over the surface of Qinghai Lake, and there were two figures standing side by side, but they were exactly Bai Fei and the girl in red. As soon as the raft reached the shore, Bai Fei rushed up eagerly, looking around eagerly. The girl in red was standing pretty on the raft, raising her scarf to Bai Fei, with a smile on her face. There is a hint of reluctance. Bai Fei was disappointed after searching. He didn't pay much attention to the girl in red shirt who was reluctant to say goodbye. In the past few days, his face was obviously thinner and even a little haggard.

No one in this world knows whether what he has encountered in the past few days is sweet, bitter, sour, astringent, or spicy, only the bewildered Bai Fei knows it in his heart. The girl in the red shirt standing on the raft sighed faintly, folded her willow waist, and the raft left the shore again, disappearing into the depths of the water and sky, leaving only Bai Fei on the shore. The surroundings were still silent, and there was no trace of the raft passing by on the water surface, as if nothing had happened. However, there was a shadow of a cuddling figure missing beside Bai Fei, and a weight of eternal life was added to his heart. The melancholy and burden that cannot go away.

He anxiously searched around the shore of the lake, hoping to find the person in his heart. Although the night was dark, he could still see far away. Like anyone who has lost his most beloved thing, he helplessly called Shi Hui's name, and his state of mind at this moment was exactly the same as when Shi Hui was waiting for him. He galloped along the lakeshore in this area, and he didn't know how long it had passed. It was almost dawn, and his energy was obviously exhausted, but he still hoped to find Shi Hui's shadow at the last moment, just as Shi Hui was waiting. He was in the same state of mind.

Things in the world are often like this, especially people who love each other, often because of one coincidence, they can live together forever, or because of another coincidence, they may be separated, and this kind of thing is rare in this world. It is absolutely unavoidable. As a result, he also became disappointed and angry from anxiety. "Why didn't she wait for me here? When did she leave? Alas, doesn't she know my difficulties and my difficulties? Why won't she wait for me for a moment longer?" So he also left alone and sad, but when he passed by a nomad's tent, he couldn't help asking, but he couldn't understand the language, and there was no result.

The same is true for the second tent, so even if he sees the nomad's house again, he just takes a look and walks by, but he doesn't know that in the third tent he passed, he is lying still because of too much fatigue. And Shi Hui, who is sad and unrepentant.And that tent, like a mountain of ten thousand layers, isolated everything between him and Shi Hui. According to Bai Fei, there is such a big difference between the way back and the way back. It is almost the extreme of happiness and pain. The reason is that there is only one person missing. The scenery has not changed, but it makes Bai Fei more painful because the scenery has not changed. No matter where he and Shi Hui used to spend some time together, he will always think of Shi Hui. He would also think of her for anything slightly related.

There is almost nothing that can replace and compensate for this kind of pain. If he is a drinker, he will drink away his sorrow; if he is addicted to gambling, he will gamble wildly, but he knows nothing. He can only speed up his journey, with speed and fatigue, he can forget some things, but as long as he pauses for a moment, the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow will torture him again. The melons and fruits in Lanzhou, the rafts on the Yellow River, and all the joys they shared together before have become pains borne by them alone. The greater the joy, the deeper the pain. Soon, he passed through Gansu, and he knew that the result of this trip could be regarded as a success. Isn't he wearing the Nine Grabbing Wujinzha, which is coveted by everyone in the martial arts?However, the price he paid for these, he knew was far above his compensation.

He also inquired about Shi Hui along the way, but Shi Hui is not a famous person, so who knows her?After entering the Shaanxi-Gansu border, he felt even worse. He must know that the most painful thing in the world is ignorance, and Bai Fei at this moment is ignorance. Regarding Shi Hui's whereabouts, he had hundreds of different guesses, which sometimes caused him pain, sometimes worried him, sometimes made him angry, and sometimes made him worry. These many emotions were intertwined, so that he could hardly calm down and think about where Shi Hui had gone. But in this chaotic mood, he still hasn't forgotten that he should go to Spirit Snake Castle first, and use his nine-grab Ujinza, which he has worked so hard to get, to rescue the girl who has been imprisoned in the grotto for decades. The martial arts senior, as for other things, he was a little at a loss.

Suddenly, he remembered that Sima Xiaoxia told him that when he was trapped in the grotto and everyone thought he was missing, Sima Zhi and others went to look for the deaf-mute old man. Tears flowed out, and when everyone was sad about her departure, they didn't know that she had returned to the castle. So Bai Fei thought to himself: "Did Hui Mei also go back to Spirit Snake Castle?" After thinking about it, his speed suddenly accelerated a lot, because he desperately wanted to go back and seek the answer to this question. The two came together, but only one of them returned home. Bai Fei was sad, but his speed was much faster than when he came. In a few days, the desolate and desolate scenery was gone, and the loess plateau that Bai Fei was very familiar with was already in front of him. , Although he was tired, he felt an unspeakable excitement. Although this kind of excitement is different from that of a wanderer returning home, it is not much different, because here, at least he can see some things related to Shi Hui and people related to Shi Hui. In addition, there are few people around, and he doesn't need tourists, eyes and ears, so in the daytime he also displays the night movement technique, flying by like a shooting star, the surrounding fields are vast, he stopped for a while, trying to identify the direction of the Spirit Snake Castle, a gust of wind After blowing, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a little light embedded in the ground in front of him. Without thinking, he knew that it must be the way to the crypt. His heart moved slightly, and he thought again: "I heard from Xiaoxia that Master Qin's grandfather was chopped to death by Le Yongsha's palm, but this is absolutely impossible, it must be that the old man knew that his identity was leaked, and he didn't want to do more. This is the only way to cause trouble—" He shook his head slightly, and then thought: "But where will the old man go? At his age, although he has great internal strength, but the years invade people, What's more, his old man is suffering from chronic illness——ah!" He didn't want to think about it anymore, because he almost saw the emaciated old man dying slowly and alone, and there was no relative beside him to die for him.So almost subconsciously, Bai Fei followed the secret notes made by the nine-clawed dragon Qin Xing in the past, and walked towards the crypt where he learned the mysteries of martial arts that would make him famous all over the world. "Maybe his old man went back there again." He thought to himself, for a moment, he had gone through all the secrets, but the entrance to the crypt had been mysteriously lost on this desolate plateau. He was stunned for a long time before he swept towards Spirit Snake Castle in a daze, and the sound of a long sigh drifted around with the sound of the wind—— Although people and things change a lot, the direction is always the same. If you walk in that direction, you will definitely find the place you are looking for. Of course, it is much easier than finding a person. Of course Bai Fei saw the forest, and he was sure that the Spirit Snake Castle behind the forest would exist as it did when he left, because he was relying on the same direction. He flew into the woods like an arrow, and suddenly someone shouted softly from behind the trees beside the path, "Stop!" As soon as Bai Fei's voice came to his ears, he turned around with thoughts, reined in his horse abruptly, and stopped abruptly. It seemed a little miraculous to be able to stop suddenly at such a fast speed. He turned his heels halfway, looked around at the place where the voice came from, and said coldly: "Which friend is calling out to each other? What can I teach you?" With his eyes fixed, a black figure flickered behind a thick tree trunk, flitting out lightly, standing in front of Bai Fei, and said sharply: "It really is you." At the moment when the figure appeared, Bai Fei was already concentrating, because he had learned the meaning of the sentence that one must guard against others in the past few months. At this moment, he glanced around, looking at this person. This person's face was under a huge black scarf covering his head, which looked indifferent and stiff, and he was also wearing black clothes. He searched his memory and knew that this person's face was absolutely unfamiliar. Because once the person's face is seen, it is hard to forget. "But why does he seem to recognize me?" Bai Fei pondered, and said loudly: "My friend, what can I tell you?" The man in Xuanyi snorted coldly and said, "Where did you take my daughter?" Bai Fei was startled suddenly, thinking that when Shi Hui was injured, didn't he also wear a mask made of human skin, so he could hardly recognize it?As soon as this person said this, of course it was the invisible person Ding Ling who I met on the earthen wall, and she must have a mask on her face, so I couldn't recognize her, but she recognized myself . He pondered again, and the man had already taken a step forward, and shouted sharply: "Why don't you answer my question, don't you—" She snorted coldly: "If you don't tell Huier's whereabouts, will I arrest you?" If you lose your bones and burn your ashes, you won't have the surname Ding." Bai Fei let out a long sigh, and said, "Your old man must be Aunt Shi?" He considered what to call Ding Ling, and then said: "Where is Huimei, my nephew really doesn't know, and my nephew also desperately wants to know her whereabouts—" Before he finished speaking, Ding Ling, the shadowless man, came up, raised his right palm, and slapped Bai Fei crisply on the face. It must be known that Bai Fei's martial arts at this moment are superior to Ding Ling's. The reason why Ding Ling hit him in the face with a palm was simply because he didn't want to dodge it. But Ding Ling, the shadowless man, saw his movement when he was fighting Venerable Tianchi, and was slightly startled when he hit him with a palm, and said sharply: "I have entered the Spirit Snake Castle three times, and I said that Hui'er left with you, now You said you didn't know her whereabouts, hmph—tell me honestly, where did you get Huier?" Bai Fei was still standing there in a daze, his cheeks were still burning with pain, and his heart was also filled with unspeakable feelings. Although Ding Ling hit him once, he didn't hold any grudges. Although he had never been beaten before in his life, he understood Ding Ling's mood at this moment. A mother's love for her children sometimes far exceeds that of a lover. above pity. But he didn't know how to reply to Ding Ling's words, this heroic and elegant figure stood like an idiot at this moment, his eyes moved, and he saw Ding Ling slapping him again—— Ding Ling cared about her beloved daughter. She went to Spirit Snake Castle more than once to inquire about Shi Hui's whereabouts, and she never returned disappointed. How often did Ding Ling receive such neglect?But she was afraid of the name of Swordsman of Thousand Snakes, although she was angry in her heart, she had no choice but to hold back. Now when she saw Bai Fei, she was full of sulking anger on Bai Fei. Seeing Bai Fei hesitating, she felt even more anxious, and wanted to hit him a second time, but her attack at this moment was of course different from hitting the enemy. The release is slow and there is no power in it. At that moment, she was about to make a move, when someone suddenly shouted coquettishly: "What a bold lunatic, dare to hit my brother Bai—" The voice reached people, and two figures attacked Ding Ling with the sound of the wind. Already considered a master. Ding Ling had faced the enemy for a long time, so she suddenly withdrew the palm that hit Bai Fei, twisted her body, and avoided it, but the two figures followed like a shadow, one left and one right, "嗖,嗖" Two palms, the left one attacked her right flank, the one on the right turned into a finger, and suddenly hit the Xuehai acupoint on her left breast. These two times the wind was blowing, the force was in the palm of the hand, Ding Ling made a wrong step, and had to back up again, looking around, she saw that the two who attacked her were actually two beautiful girls. "Okay, so it turns out that you guys conspired together and deceived my daughter somewhere." Ding Ling was so angry that she naturally thought that Bai Fei was in love with her. Of course, it's no wonder that she misunderstood this situation, especially Bai Fei, who is still at this moment. As if it had taken root, it stood there without moving a bit. The two who attacked Ding Ling were Sima Xiaoxia and Le Yongsha. The two of them happened to be walking outside the castle and saw someone trying to beat Bai Fei, but Bai Fei stood there motionless as if possessed by a demon. Naturally anxious in my heart, I couldn't say anything, so I attacked Ding Ling like a frenzy of lightning and thunder. Ding Ling sneered, flipped her palms over, each made a half-circle, and attacked Sima Xiaoxia and Le Yongsha from left to right. , but they couldn't resist the two girls who were trained by Sima Zhi, one of the three tripods of martial arts since childhood. Both Sima Xiaoxia and Le Yongsha are short-tempered, their palms are flying, and their moves are fierce. They have been holding back for so many days in Spirit Snake Castle, and now they have finally found a target. The four arms are like four Jiujiu It flapped violently like wings that had never flown. Bai Fei was stunned for a long time before waking up. Seeing this situation, he was startled. He knew that there must be another misunderstanding, so he moved over quickly. But at this moment, Ding Ling's hands were wrong, and her right hand came out quickly, with five fingers like claws, and with a gust of wind, she went to buckle the pulse gate of Sima Xiaoxia's palm that hit her left shoulder. Like a knife, it slashed towards Le Yongsha's left front chest. Although her two moves are extremely exquisite, the disadvantage is that she has only learned martial arts by herself when she was an adult, and she has never had a famous teacher to guide her. The essence of martial arts is wonderful, but the kung fu is always not pure, and this two palms divided the two people, showing weakness even more. But Sima Xiaoxia and Le Yongsha, under Sima Zhi's training, have both practiced their basic skills very well, how could they care about the two palms of the two of them?Turning around in every figure, Sima Xiaoxia swiped her wrist and elbow with a heavy gold wire scissors, and cut Ding Ling's right wrist with her palm. But Le Yongsha had a lot of hands-on experience after going through the rivers and lakes for a while, now he saw that Ding Ling's skill was insufficient, when he saw her palm strike, he did not avoid to fight back, he struck out with his right palm suddenly, it took ten minutes Cheng Zhenli confronted Ding Ling with this palm. It's a long story, but it was like a flash of lightning at that time, when Bai Fei rushed towards him, Ding Ling and Le Yongsha's palms intersected. Each hand only used half of its power, so where is Le Yongsha's opponent with a full blow?The two palms intersected, and there was a bang, Ding Ling let out a scream, and her right hand broke off at the wrist. Le Yongsha was about to pursue, but he heard Bai Fei yelling: "Miss Le, stop quickly—" Sima Xiaoxia also stopped abruptly as soon as she retreated. With his right wrist, he stared at the three of them fiercely with both eyes, and then he stopped his feet and flew away from the forest. Bai Fei let out a long sigh, knowing that it would be useless to chase after him, Sima Xiaoxia walked over and asked with concern, "Brother Bai, what's going on?" Bai Fei sighed again, not knowing how to answer the other person's words, he knew it was another misunderstanding that was difficult to explain, but no matter what, Le Yongsha and Sima Xiaoxia were always for him, even if he was anxious, how could he? No wonder people. He was at a loss, and to Sima Xiaoxia's question, he just shook his head with a wry smile, Sima Xiaoxia saw his distraught look, looked back again, and found that he was the only one who came back, but Shi Hui didn't know where to go, My heart also became confused. Sima Xiaoxia and Le Yongsha hugged Bai Fei into the Spirit Snake Castle. Most of the walls damaged by the Thunder God Bead had been repaired, and the smell of fresh paint could be smelled everywhere. Most of the heroes who lived in peace to heal their wounds have dispersed at this moment, and the spacious hall has returned to its former tranquility. Bai Fei stepped up the steps, thinking of the time when he was proud of being here in front of the world's martial arts heroes, he felt a little excited , also a little melancholy. Sima Xiaoxia ran in very quickly and shouted: "Father, he's back, brother Bai is back." A strong sense of joy could be heard in the voice, Bai Fei sighed slightly, and another feeling appeared in his heart. A strange feeling. There was a burst of loud laughter from inside. Sima Zhi and Qiu Duxing walked out slowly, and they were also extremely happy for Bai Fei's return. This kind of strong warmth moved Bai Fei. At this moment, he almost forgot Things that caused him great pain. However, the hope in his heart was shattered again, Shi Hui did not come back, he silently took out the Nine Grasping Ujinza, but he seemed unwilling to mention how he obtained this strange treasure from the sky demon Su Minjun, and only said lightly A few words: "If I hadn't experienced it personally, I really couldn't believe that there would be such a lonely mountain in that lake, and there would be such a house on that lonely mountain." "It's like a fairy tale. I think the fairy mountains overseas are nothing more than this. The one who surprised me the most was the demon Su Minjun. I thought she must be very old, but she didn't look like she was thirty years old. She looks more like a twenty-year-old girl when she smiles." "Besides Su Minjun, there are more than a dozen girls on the lonely mountain, all of whom are female disciples of Su Minjun. I haven't seen the martial arts of the sky demon Su Minjun, but the lightness kung fu of those female disciples is extremely outstanding. They are all top-notch.” He described the place where the demon lived, which made Le Yongsha and Sima Xiaoxia listen with wide-eyed eyes, interjecting to ask questions from time to time, but Sima Zhi and Qiu Duxing had a thoughtful look on their faces, as if they were with each other. The relationship between Su Minjun is unusual. But Bai Fei didn't mention the details of how he got the Nine Arrested Wu Jinzha, Sima Zhi and Qiu Duxing looked at each other, and didn't ask any more, apparently tacit understanding. But Sima Xiaoxia said, "Why didn't Sister Hui wait for you a little longer? If it were me, it wouldn't matter if I waited a few more months. You are going to do serious business, not to play, are you?" Bai Fei let out a long sigh, lowered his head silently, Sima Zhi glared at Sima Xiaoxia, and said in a deep voice: "Nephew, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing, everything has its own destiny, not to mention that a man stands in the world, what he should do is extremely important." More, don't torture yourself for the love of your sons and daughters—" He slowly stopped talking, and he couldn't help sighing, because he himself wasted his ambitions all his life because of the love of women here. But Qiu Duxing laughed loudly, and said: "Brother Sima's words are deeply in my heart, nephew Bai Xian, you are now in the age of a hero, and your talent and martial arts are absolutely beyond the reach of others." , as long as you think about it a little, you will be a star in the martial arts that can shine through the ages, and you must not waste your good time for this kind of thing." He paused slowly, and said again: "The senior Chang in the Grottoes in the back garden also seems to like you very much. This old man's martial arts can be said to be unfathomable. It is not difficult for you to learn from his senior. Get some lessons." Bai Fei agreed to these words, but it was absolutely impossible for him to forget Shi Hui at this moment, just like Shi Hui couldn't forget him even though he was angry with him. After Shi Hui left the lake that day, she felt more uncomfortable than Bai Feiyou. Girls are originally narrow-minded, and they can't think about love-related matters even more. When Shi Hui thought of the scene where Bai Fei and the girl in red disappeared side by side on the raft and disappeared into the depths of the water clouds, she couldn't help feeling a sharp pain in her heart, like It was as if something was gnawing at her heart. She thought of all kinds of legends about the sky demon Su Minjun, and then thought of the watery eyes of the girl in red, and thought angrily, "You don't know what you're doing here, but you let me wait here." Suspicion and jealousy , is always the greatest enemy of love, these two emotions made her leave Qinghai Lake without looking back. However, after running for a while, she could no longer support herself. The fatigue and hunger for several days made her limbs feel as heavy as if they were tied with a thousand catties of iron chains. "Am I sick?" She asked herself anxiously, and finally in A tent fell down. The owner of that tent, as generous and hospitable as all nomadic men, brought the helpless lonely woman back to the tent, gave her a bowl of boiling goat milk, and gave her a long period of restful sleep, While she was sleeping peacefully, Bai Fei walked past the tent, that is, this thin layer of tent created a barrier between Bai Fei and Shi Hui that was farther than thousands of mountains and rivers. She stayed in the tent for two days. After her physical strength fully recovered, her mood continued to weaken. She knew how much she longed for the embrace of Bai Fei's strong arms, but she expressed this longing. Suppressed, almost pressed her heart so hard that she could squeeze out drops of bitter juice. She needed comfort, so she thought of her parents. After crossing Gansu, she eagerly wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms. Even though the shadowless Ding Ling was a murderous female devil in the eyes of everyone in the world, in the eyes of her daughter, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Loving mother. She didn't follow the way she came here, but went straight to the south of Shaanxi. The northern part of Shaanxi Province is the Loess Plateau, with a height of more than 1,000 meters. The situation is quite different in the Weihe Plain in the central and southern parts. At dusk, Shi Hui arrived in Xi'an, because when she was traveling with Bai Fei, most of the silver was on her, so at this moment she had enough money to buy a donkey on the way, and in the twilight, she saw the magnificent city of Xi'an. All, a huge shadow cast long on her body. She had no fixed destination, because she knew that her mother must have not returned home at this moment, so she spurred the emaciated donkey and walked into this famous ancient city. The prosperity of Xi'an city is second to none in the northwest area. Shi Hui rode a donkey on the road paved with bluestone slabs, looking at the pedestrians and the bustling market on both sides, but her heart was far away from where she was going. up. She tied the donkey to a bluestone pile, and then wandered for a while on the ancient street. Although she was feeling bored to death, she bought an embroidered handkerchief in a sewing shop, and then she wandered casually for a while, leaving Into a restaurant, ready to eat something. Things in the world are often coincidences. If Shi Hui hadn't walked into this restaurant to eat, then her behavior after that might have been completely different. However, she walked in. Although the downstairs seat was vacant, she still went upstairs , chose a seat near the window, she ordered two dishes randomly, the waiter was very dissatisfied, because it was the cheapest dish, she didn't care, so she looked at the night market in Xi'an city from the window. Suddenly, there was a loud noise on the stairs, and two people came up, Shi Hui glanced at them inadvertently, but the two people on the other table next to her stood up and greeted loudly: "Brother Qinglai, Brother Qingluo , please come and sit here." The two big men who came up also laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I will meet you here." While talking, he walked over with his arms and sat down on the chair, almost breaking all four legs of the chair. A slender man who was originally sitting next to Shi Hui laughed and said: "Brother Qinglai, I really didn't expect you to come here today. Usually you like to watch the excitement the most, but now you don't even think about that day?" Can’t wait to watch the excitement?” Brother Na Qinglai sighed, and said: "I really want to stay there for two more days, and leave after watching the fun, but I can't help myself, but I have to come here, I'm so angry! " The other person who was already sitting upstairs interrupted at this moment: "You guys have been talking for a long time, what's so exciting about it?" The previous man said: "About two months ago, the ranger Xie Keng broke his own two arms in Xiaoliupu, you should know about it?" He waited until the man nodded, and then said: "A man like him can really be called a hero. His arm was cut off, but he was not vague at all. He still stood up straight, saying that he would definitely take revenge, but he said That is to say, everyone listened, but no one cared, how can a person who has lost both hands take revenge? What's more, the opponent is the famous shadowless man, who knows—" He spoke up to this point in one breath, but acted like a fool, deliberately picked up the wine on the table, and took a sip slowly. Shi Hui didn't pay attention to their conversation, it's just that their voices were too loud, and she couldn't help but listen to them, but when this big man with a northern taste talked about the Ranger Xie Keng and the Shadowless Man, Shi Hui's ears perked up I can't wait to go over and urge that person to speak. The man put down the cup with a "slap", slapped the palm on the table, and then said: "I don't know that two days ago, the ranger Xie Keng posted a letter full of words on the inside and outside of Yulin Pass, saying that he was going to Erdos On the small willow shop by the Hongliu River on the plateau, wait for the shadowless man for ten days, saying that he will settle the old account with his two legs, and tell the shadowless man to go to Xiaoliu shop within ten days, otherwise he will go elsewhere Go find the Shadowless Man—" Another person interjected, "Although the ranger Xie Keng is good at martial arts, but he has lost both hands, and he still has to challenge others. Isn't this impatient?" The man shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, you are really smart all your life, and you were confused for a while, thinking about what kind of character that ranger Xie Keng is, needless to say, he is above you and my brothers. Since he is willing to make such a big show, of course he is sure. And that Shadowless Man had a big name twenty years ago, and of course he wasn't a character to be trifled with. Seeing Xie Keng's signboard-like challenge, he would definitely rush to Xiaoliupu. This time, Xiaoliu The shop is lively again!" He laughed, slapped the table again, and said with a shake of his head, "This is only cheap for those who open shops in Xiaoliupu. They made a fortune, and now they have built new houses.” That brother Qinglai smiled and said: "It's hard for me. Listening to your frothy talk makes me feel itchy. I just can't watch such a lively scene." As soon as the words were finished, the four of them laughed. Shi Hui's heart was pounding when she heard that, and she thought to herself: "So that town is called Xiaoliupu. After listening to this person, Mom will definitely go there." She was naturally happy to find her mother, but when she thought of her mother Already in danger, she couldn't help worrying, and she felt apprehensive, the food had been delivered, but how could she still eat?After paying the bill in a hurry, I went downstairs. Going to the blue stone stake where she had tied her donkey, there was only a bare stone stake left, but the donkey tied to it had gone somewhere. Shi Hui never imagined that such a skinny donkey would be stolen by someone. I was jumping with anger, but there was nothing I could do. She had no money to buy another one, so she comforted herself: "With my two legs, I'm afraid I can walk faster than a donkey!" Gritting her teeth, she strode out of the city. She was worried, and when she got to a place where no one was around, she began to practice lightness kung fu, galloping overnight, passing through Fuping, Tongchuan, Huangling, Ganquan, crossing Yan'an, Ansai, to Suide, going up the Wuding River, passing through this A large area of ​​the ancient battlefield came out of Yulin Pass. So, she returned to the loess plateau that was already close to desert at the edge of the Ikezhao League Desert. The familiar wind and sand outside the Great Wall made her recall Bai Fei again. Along the way, she also met many martial arts figures, but she didn't ask others for anything because of her panic, and of course she didn't know what happened to Xiaoliu's shop. When she arrived at Xiaoliupu and set foot on the small road, she realized that this small town had really changed a lot. The most notable thing was that there were dozens of shop signs on both sides. However, although this small town is more prosperous than before, it is very peaceful, and there is no sign of any bustling happening. Shi Hui didn't know that even if a huge stone is thrown into the water, the ripples it will cause will soon disappear. Disappeared, she was still secretly glad that she arrived when nothing happened. Although Xiaoliupu is small, it is still not easy to find someone, especially Shi Hui at the moment. After thinking about it, she can only ask others, and according to her experience, no matter what she wants to inquire about, the best person is of course It is the waiter and waiter in the restaurant.But when she asked, she realized that she was already late. It turned out that a few days ago, another major event that attracted the attention of martial arts all over the world happened in this small town. After the waiter in the restaurant took some of Shi Hui's scattered silver, he said frothyly: "That afternoon, a man dressed in black came to our shop, with a cloth wrapped around his right arm, like He was injured, but these days we see a lot of heroes in the world, and even more injured people, so we don’t pay much attention to him.” "The man is not tall. When he came to our shop, he ordered a lot of dishes, but he didn't eat. I didn't dare to provoke him too much, because his face was cold and hard, as if he had just come out of a coffin. It looks like it ran out of the sky, and it will scare people to death if you look at it." Hearing that he was just gossiping, Shi Hui urged him to speak up impatiently. Although the clerk could speak the common Central Plains dialect, he didn't speak it very well. Almost every shop has a note pasted here, which was posted here by a hero called You Xia. The words written on it probably mean that he wants to seek revenge on a person named Wuyingren. Our shop There's also a sticker on it." As he spoke, he pointed to the wall to the south. Shi Hui followed and saw a large piece of chalk newly painted on the wall. The shop clerk continued: "The note was pasted on the place where the pavement had just been laid. When the man in black saw the note, he flew up like a bird and slammed into the note. Grabbing, really capable, he scratched a large piece of such a solid wall with just one scratch." The shop clerk rubbed his head, as if he was very envious of such a capable person, and then said: "Later, I found out that this little skinny man in black clothes is a shadowless man, just after he grabbed the note, A very handsome young swordsman ran in. This young swordsman was also a well-known character named Liuhe Sword Ding Shancheng. After running in, he cupped his hands at the shadowless man, but the shadowless man stabbed He just sat there ignoring him, and Liuhejian was not angry, he just told Wu Yingren that Ranger Xie Daxia was waiting for him outside." The shop boy was very eloquent, and when he talked like a storyteller, Shi Hui was extremely nervous, so the shop boy smiled and said: "Yesterday, an old man brought two girls here, and he also asked these questions, listen I am also very nervous, with you—" Shi Hui patted the table impatiently, and urged: "Speak quickly." The clerk stuck out his tongue secretly, so he had to turn back to the topic, and continued: "At that time, I wondered, how could this shadowless man still fight with his right hand injured? I didn't know that I ran out to take a look, hey, guess what? He deliberately paused and said: "That ranger, Mr. Xie, has lost both hands and only two legs, but he really deserves to be a hero. Although he has become disabled, he still stands majestically." He doesn't look embarrassed or shabby at all." He stretched out his thumb, and said again: "This Uncle Xie is really a good man. When he saw the shadowless man coming, he looked up to the sky and laughed for a while. The sound of the laughter made my ears buzz. The two of them just faced each other. After saying a few words, I don't know how many people surrounded me. Some people rushed to Xiaoliupu just to see the excitement. Because I went early, I stood in front. Later, I was afraid of the people behind.看不到，就索性坐下来了。” 这店伙仿佛得意已极，接着道：“那无影人三言两语之下，身子不知怎么一动，就掠到谢大爷身前，左手一晃，就朝谢大爷劈了过去，谢大侠没有手，当然不能还手，可是人家那两条腿却厉害得紧，像扭股糖似的，左面一拐，右面一拐，无影人根本连边都摸不到他的。” 这店伙像是对谢铿极为推崇，对无影人却无甚好感，石慧不禁哼了一声，店伙看了她一眼，也不知道她哼的什么，又道：“这两人本事都大极了，就在我们街头的那一大块空地上打了半天，我也看不清他们到底怎么动的手，只看到两条人影上上下下、左左右右、前前后后的动着，看得我眼睛都花了。” “两人打了半天，忽然飕然一声，从人头上又飞进来个人，是个三十多岁四十来岁的男子，长得文文静静、清清秀秀的，我要不是亲眼看见，可真不相信他也会有本事。” 石慧暗忖，这人必定就是她父亲石坤天，知道了这消息后也赶了来，她心里不禁一定，因为她知道她父亲的武当剑法还在那天中六剑之上，她父亲一来，她母亲就不会吃亏了。 那店伙接着道：“这人一飞进来，就大叫无影人和谢大爷住手，哪知道这时候那位六合剑丁大爷也飞了出来，拦住那个人不让他跑到谢大爷动手的地方去，那人不答应，两人三言两语，也打了起来。” “这两人一打，可更热闹，原来两人都使剑。一动上手，只见满天剑光乱闪，四面的人都吓得直往后退，生怕剑光碰着自己。” “这时候，大家都只恨爷娘少生了两只眼睛，看了这一堆，就顾不得看那一堆，我暗地一盘算，知道正主儿是谢大爷和无影人，六合剑他们不过仅是陪衬陪衬而已，所以我的两只眼睛，就集中了全部精神朝谢大爷这面看。” “可是那边剑光像是几乎几百双长银色翅膀的蝴蝶似的满天飞舞着，我有时也舍不得不看两眼，可是无影人突然惨叫了一声——” 石慧紧张得竟站了起来，店伙看了，不敢再卖关子，赶紧说下去道：“我眼睛朝那面一看，那边动手的两个人已经倒下一个，我也没有看清是怎么倒下的，后来我听一位好汉说了才知道！” 这店伙喘了口气，石慧暗自默祷，希望倒下去的是游侠谢铿，而不是自己的母亲——无影人。 那店伙见到她脸色发青，心里有些奇，接着又道：“原来谢大爷和无影人打了半天，可说得上是棋逢敌手，将遇良材，打了半天还是没有结果，后来不知怎么一来，谢大爷张口一喷，从嘴里吐出一粒小丸子来，飕然打向无影人。” “而无影人那时候正用了一招什么春燕剪波，看到那粒小丸子打来，就往旁边一闪，哪知谢大侠早已算好了她这一着，本来踢向右边的一条腿，这时候突然一拐转，朝她腰上踢去。” “可是无影人也自了得，在这种时候，还能又一扭腰，右掌飕然下切，唉——但是她忘了右掌已经受伤，根本不管用了，谢大爷一脚着着实实踢在她腰眼上，另外一只脚也跟着飞了起来，砰然一声，也就踢在她右边的胸前——” 石慧听得心胆俱裂，“叭”的一掌将桌上的茶杯都震飞了起来，那店伙一打哆嗦，一想起昨天带着两个女子的少年，听到这里也是面目一变，他怔了一会，赶紧赔着笑说道：“他们这些武功，我可不知道，这是我听别人吃饭的时候说的，还说谢大爷那种腿法是什么久失传的飞燕爪，我也弄不明白，明明是腿法，为什么却又叫做爪。” 石慧强自忍着泪珠：“说下去。” 那店伙才又说道：“无影人被谢大爷这两腿踢得往后飞了几尺去跌倒地上，旁边看着的人都叫起好来，敢情这谢大侠人缘很好。” 石慧又冷哼了一声，脸上的颜色难看已极，眼睛都红了，那店伙一看，暗忖：“这女子大概和那无影人是朋友。”暗暗一伸舌头，将翻了的茶杯扶好，才又接着往下面说道：“可是我看起来，那无影人也蛮不错。”偷偷一望石慧，又道：“六合剑丁大爷和那人一看这面的情形，就马上住了手，六合剑掠到谢大爷旁边，显得很高兴的样子。” “另外那个英俊的中年人却和无影人是朋友，飞一样的跑到无影人那边，去看无影人的伤势。” 那店伙摇着头说道：“那时候的无影人满身是血，睁开眼睛看见了那位男子，低低的说了两句话，谁也没有听到，那位中年剑客就横抱起她来，一句话都没有说，就从人堆里往外面掠了出去。” “他们到哪里去了？你知不知道？”石慧又焦急的问道。 那店伙又摇了摇头，道：“这我也不大清楚，那位谢大爷等到那位中年剑客抱着无影人走了后，就对四周的好汉说了几句话，意思就是说他自己的恩仇都已清了，以后他也不想再过问江湖上的事了。” “有好些人还跑过去恭喜他，他应酬了一下，和那六合剑丁大爷一齐走了，脸上可并没有什么高兴的样子。” “那位中年剑客带着无影人还在对面那家客栈里住了两天，那无影人的伤重得很，只剩下最后一口气的样子，后来那位中年剑客就雇了辆车，带着无影人朝南面走了，我看——” 他一看石慧的脸色，下面的话就机警的顿住了，改口说道：“我看姑娘最好到对面那家客栈去问问，是那家客栈的小潘替他们雇的车，也许能够知道他们往哪边去了也不一定。”他拿起毛巾：“姑娘，你还没有点菜呢，要吃些什么呀？” 话刚说完，石慧已经跑出去了。 石慧此刻的心情，乱得仿佛一堆乱麻似的，哪有心情来听这店伙的废话，她极快地穿过街，走到那家客栈，寻着小潘一问，那小潘像所有做这种事的人一样，也是个多话的。 他原原本本地向石慧说道：“他们在这里住了两天，那位无影人委实伤得太厉害，我一看不对，就替他们雇了辆车，讲明的是先到西安，再到湖北，一共是五十两银子脚力钱，姑娘假如要找他们，也容易得很，因为那辆车是老刘的，那匹马少了一只左耳朵。” 石慧得到了确讯，在这小柳铺上连歇息都没有再歇息一下，就又往南面折回，一面懊悔着自己在路上不曾留意，否则也许先前就会在这条路上遇着他们也未可知。 此刻她心绪完全迷乱了，入了榆林关之后，她已和先前成了两人，这么多天来，她几乎未饮未食未眠，衣衫松乱了，头发也是松乱了，娇美如花的面孔，已完全失去了以前的风韵。 路人都侧目而望着她，她却视若无睹，目光急切的搜索着每一匹拉车的马，但令她失望的是，每匹马都完整的生着两只耳朵。 由来路回走，这是一条当时行人必经的官道，来往着络绎不绝的旅人，行色虽然都是匆忙的，然而石慧的匆忙却更远在任何人之上，她几乎在光天化日下行人这么多的道路上就施展出夜行功夫来，脚不沾尘地往前走。 天色既暮，路上的行人渐稀，她仍然急切地赶着路，直到天完全黑了，笔直伸向远方的道路上再也没有一条人影—— 蓦然，她听到一种在打斗时所发生的喝叱声，那是来自路旁的一片疏林里，她心中虽好奇，但此刻有着急事，她也没有这份心情去看一看，极快的从那片疏林外掠了过去。 然而她身形一转，又掠了回来，因为她突然听到那喝叱声音里有一个声音是她所熟稔的，熟悉得她不得不转回来。 凝目往林中一望，她就看到林中有剑光缭绕着，还有马嘶声，她毫不迟疑的一掠而入，目光动处，不禁也惊呼出来。 原来这片疏林占地颇狭，穿过林子，就是一片荒地，此刻荒地上停着一车马车，车窗紧闭，车辕旁畏缩地站着一个人。 马车前有三个人在极为剧烈的搏斗着，其中一人长剑纵横，抵敌着对方的两件奇门兵刃，她不用看清那人的面貌，从那人那种轻灵的剑法和身形上，她就可以知道那人就是她的父亲——石坤天。 她惊呼着掠了上去，石坤天眼角动着，看见是她，也喜极而呼出声来。 原来丁伶身受重伤后，石坤天照顾着她在小柳铺上的客栈中静养了两日，丁伶的伤势越发沉重了，石坤天心情的悲哀和沉重可想而知，他自家是武当高手，对丁伶的伤势如何看不出来？他知道丁伶的死只是时间问题了。 于是他照料着丁伶南下，因为他觉得人都是应该死在他的故土，再者，他还希望能够有奇迹出现，能够有人治愈丁伶的伤势。 他们自然走得极慢，白天路上行人紊乱，嘈杂声又多，他体恤伤者，索性夜间赶路，哪知走到黄陵过来的这一段路上—— 石坤天正支着车窗，向外下意识的看着夜色，突然，他觉得在马蹄声和晚风声之间似乎有一种夜行人行动时的声响，当然，那需要极为敏锐的听觉才能从车声和晚风声中辨别出来。 但是石坤天认为自家并没有警戒的必要，因为他自家根本素无仇家，而丁伶，谁都知道她已是奄奄一息的重伤之人。 但是，车子突然一倾，向左面作了一个急遽的转弯，车夫的惊叫声，马的惊嘶，突然从车厢前面传了过来。 石坤天虽然隐息多年，但他终究是在江湖上久经闯荡的人物，虽然知道已经突生变故，但仍然沉得住气，厉声喝问了一声。 前面并没有任何回答，石坤天拔开门栓，悄悄推开门，马车在有些颠簸的前行着，他伸手一搭车顶，身躯倏然灵巧地翻了上去，寒光一引，已将背后斜插着的长剑撤了出来。 前面赶车的脚夫两侧，一边夹着一人，已经夺过缰绳，将马车赶到荒地上去，石坤天剑眉一立，厉声道：“停住。” 话声未落，手中青光暴长，匹练似的杀向前座那突来的暴客，他知道这两人心怀叵测，是以下手也绝未容情。 那人缩肩藏身，“刷”的从车座上翻了下去，石坤天剑势一转，虹飞天畔，剑光微颤间，“刷”的点向另一人脑后一寸的哑穴，然后剑光微错，再分扫两目后的藏血穴。 那人冷笑一声，右手一支车座，“刷”的也往前面掠下，拉车的马受了惊吓，仍往前奔，石坤天身形一长，紧紧抓住了缰绳，那匹马空自发威，竟无法再往前面移动半步。 突袭的两个暴客一左一右站在车的两侧，石坤天目光动处，看到这两人身材一高一矮，全身都裹在一件黑缎子的短衫裤中，头上也用黑缎包着头，身材高的粗眉大眼，身材矮的眉清目秀，他想了想，自家生平从未见过此两人。 他一脚踏在车座上，厉叱道：“朋友深夜中拦住兄弟的车子，竟欲何为？若两位是合字上的朋友，上线开扒，也该看得出兄弟身无长物，若要几两银子的盘缠，兄弟身上倒有。”他一张口就是老江湖的口吻，话说得极为漂亮，可又一点儿也没有透出含糊。 那两人动也不动的听着他说话，等他说完了，才阴阴一笑，道：“你少说乱话，我两个大爷要找的是你带着的那个瘦小子，我两个大爷和他有杀师之仇，今天一定要把他杀死。”他说的话，完全不像华夏后裔所说，也不是中原口音。 石坤天暗暗皱眉，他也知道自己爱妻生平结仇极多，不知怎的又结上了这两个仇家，而且这两人来路诡秘，又显得有点儿怪，不知道是何来历，略一思索才沉声说道：“朋友高姓大名，和她有什么解不开的梁子？她已身受重伤，朋友有什么话，就都全冲着我姓石的来说好了。” 那高身材的汉子又阴阴的一声怪笑，说道：“你不认得大爷我，大爷我倒认得你的。”怪笑声中，突然伸手将包在头上的黑缎子扯了下来，石坤天这才一惊。 原来这汉子头上光秃秃的，是个和尚，石坤天再一仔细打量，心中一动，突然想起这和尚就是天赤尊者的弟子之一。 原来这两人果然是天赤尊者的两个弟子，他在千蛇之会上以天雷神珠炸伤群豪，又在混乱中背去天赤尊者的尸身，躲过了岳入云的追踪，将天赤尊者的尸体略一检视，才知道天赤尊者在中白非一掌之前已经身受了剧毒。 这高大和尚原来是天赤尊者的首徒，天赤尊者生性极怪，他的几个徒弟也唯有他被传过两手真功夫，是以他能避过岳入云，又能再次潜回灵蛇堡，用数十粒天雷神珠再将灵蛇堡炸的一塌糊涂。 他不但武功在同门之上，心机也极深沉，不知怎么，竟给他打听出来那曾和他师父动过手的瘦小汉子就是专会施毒的人，他一想之下恍然大悟，就追查到丁伶的下落。 他知道丁伶受了伤，打听出来丁伶坐了这么样一匹少了只耳朵的马拉着的车，这样，他们才赶了来，将石坤天拦在路上。 石坤天虽然已知道他们是天赤尊者的徒弟，可是却不知道自己的爱妻和他们之间有什么仇怨，更不明白怎么会有杀师之仇，“难道凭伶妹就能够杀了天赤尊者？” 他不禁有些奇怪了。 石坤天正自疑惑间，那高大的和尚已一声怒吼扑了上来，掌中寒光一点，是一枝似笛非笛似箫非箫的奇门兵刃。 另一个不问可知，就是天赤尊者的四个女徒其中之一了，也挥动着一条银色的长鞭，挥向石坤天，石坤天当然不能在车上动手，身形一动，掠了下去，手中长剑剑花错落间分剁两人。 武当九宫连环剑，剑式轻灵，那和尚脚跟半旋，掌中奇门兵刃顺势一划，半途手腕一挫，点向石坤天结下二寸六分的旋玑重穴，隐带风雷，显见得内功颇具火候。 “行家一伸手，便知有没有。”石坤天见这和尚一式甫出，就知道这天赤尊者的徒弟手下颇有几分真实的功夫。 他突然沉肘挫腕，自剑上引，剑身突然斜斜一划，正是武当九宫连环剑里的妙着“神龙突现”，又削那和尚的手腕，腰畔突有风声一凛，那女徒的银鞭已带着风声横扫他的腰间。 那高大的和尚闷哼一声，脚跟又一旋，手腕一扭，掌中兵刃“刷、刷”，突然在石坤天绝对料想不到的部位点向他腋下三寸、乳后一寸的天池穴，脚下所踩的方位，也是中原武林所无。 那女徒掌中银鞭也划了个圆圈，一旋一带之下，扫向石坤天的顶间。 石坤天微微一惊，剑光一引，身随剑走，刷、刷又是两剑，他在这九宫连环剑上已有数十年的造诣，每一出手，时间、部位都拿捏得极隐、极准，剑扣挥环，招中套招。 但是这天赤尊者的两个弟子一来是因为在人数上占了优势，再者却是因为那高大的和尚在危急之间，便会倏然使出一手怪招，而那女徒的无骨柔功，也使得石坤天颇难应付。 最主要的却是他这些天来心中悲伤惶急，几乎是目未交睫，水未沾唇，在功力上自然打了个极大的折扣，而且武当剑法以轻灵为主，而石坤天却不敢轻意掠动身形，因为他必须守在这马车前，保护着车内的丁伶。是以交手数招下来，这武当剑客不但未能占得上风，而且缚手缚脚，已有些相形见绌。 就在这时候，林外一声惊呼，极快的掠进一条人影来。 石坤天目光瞬处，见到掠来的这人影竟是自己的爱女，大喜之下也叫了出来，剑式上却不免微一疏神，被人家抢攻了数招。 石慧当然还弄不清自己的爹爹为什么会和别人动手，但她也根本不需要知道原因，一声娇叱，迎了上去，双掌齐出，迎向那女徒。原来她身边从来不带兵刃，此刻只得以空手迎敌。 幸好这女徒武功并不甚高，掌中虽有银鞭，银鞭中也偶有一两式奇诡的妙着，但石慧武学既杂，轻功又高，婀娜的身躯如穿花的蝴蝶，围着她三转两转，已占了上风。 那边石坤天也自精神陡长，剑式如长江大河之水，滔滔不绝地压向那高大的和尚。十招过后，那和尚觉得压力大增，心中已微微作慌，而那边的石慧在连换了武当的七十二路擒拿手和终南的形意象拳两种招式后，右掌自银鞭的空隙中穿出，砰然一掌，击在那女徒的右面肩胛上。 石慧掌力虽不雄厚，但这一掌着着实实的打中，也不是那女徒禁受得了的，她一声惨呼，手中长鞭落地，石慧得理不让人，双掌一圈，伸缩之间，掌缘又切在那女徒的胸肋上。 那女徒“叭”的仰面跌在地上，石慧身形一动，跟过来又是一脚，踢在她的腰眼，这一脚的力量更大于掌力，她瘦怯怯的一个身子，随着石慧的一脚，又打了两个滚溜，伏在地上，身受这几处重击之后，眼看她已是无救的了。石慧冷笑一声，侧过身子去看她爹爹动手的情形，那高大的和尚见到同伴受创，心中更作慌，手中兵刃左支右绌，越发招架不住。 石慧知道这人不出十招，就要伤在自己爹爹的剑下，索性站在旁边袖手而观，心中动念之间，又跑到伤在她手中的那女徒身侧，想看看这人伤得究竟如何，因为此刻她心性已改，忽然想到自己和人家究竟有什么过节还不知道，如果胡乱就伤了人家的性命，岂非有些说不过去。 哪知她刚刚走到那人的身侧，那女徒的下半身突然像鱼尾似的反卷了上来，石慧猝不及防，万万没有想到人家会有此一着，竟被那女徒以无骨柔功而踢出的两腿踢在小腹上。 她痛极之下也叫出声来，随声一脚，又将那女徒踢飞了出去，但自己也痛得蹲了下去，冷汗涔涔而落，若不是那女徒身受重伤、力已不继，否则这一脚踢在她小肚上，她焉能还有命在？ 石坤天听见爱女的惨叫声，心中急怒交加，长剑斜削，划起长虹，削向那高大和尚的喉下。 那和尚手中兵刃方自一架，哪知石坤天剑到中途却倏然转变了个方向，斜削之势猛然一拖，手腕一抖，抖起点点的剑花，那和尚只觉眼前剑光缭绕，心胆俱裂之下，胸前已着了三剑。 石坤天这三剑正是生平功力所聚，最后那一剑竟由那和尚的巨关穴上直刺了进去，须知巨关在鸠尾下一寸，是为心之幕也，又谓之追魂穴，手指一点，便能致人之死地，何况石坤天的这一剑几乎刺进半尺，那和尚登时便气绝了。 他拔出长剑，连剑身上尚在顺着剑脊往下滴的血他都不再顾及，忙一纵身掠了过去，此刻石慧的脸色已经痛得煞白了。 石坤天长叹一声，将剑收回于匣内，双手穿过石慧的腿弯和胁下，将她抱了起来，掠回车旁。 那车夫几曾见过这种鲜血淋漓的场面，吓得两条腿不住哆嗦，一见石坤天走过来，赶紧为他打开车门，可是几乎手软得连车门都开不开了。 石坤天将爱女捧进车厢，吩咐车夫继续往前面赶路，不一会车声辚辚，已走上正道，东方的天色也已泛起出鱼白。 石坤天望着身畔的爱妻爱女，心中仿佛堵塞着一块巨大的石块，为了丁伶，他甘冒大不韪竟叛离了师门，他当然也知道叛师在武林中是如何一种严重的事，而他居然做了，由此可知，他对丁伶情感之深是别人无法知道的。 但此刻的丁伶已是气如游丝，危如悬卵，车轮的每一次转动，都可能是她丧命的时刻。 而他唯一的爱女此刻也受了重伤，虽然他知道性命无碍，但骨肉情深，他自然也难免心痛，轻轻的为她推拿着。 渐渐，她痛苦的呻吟稍住，这时天光大亮，他们也已到了宜昌，便自然休息了下来。 在客栈里，痛苦稍减的石慧，伏在她母亲身上哀哀地痛哭着，石坤天也伤感地流下这武当剑客生平难落的眼泪，英雄有泪不轻弹，只因未到伤心处。到了伤心之处，英雄也会落泪的。 蓦然，丁伶悄悄张开眼来，石坤天虎目一张，一步踏了进去，唤道：“伶妹。”无穷的伤感和关怀，都在这两字中表露出来。 石慧也哀唤着妈妈。 丁伶惨然一笑，眼中突然现出光采来，石慧高兴得几乎跳了起来，石坤天望着丁伶，心中却哀痛的在想：“是不是回光返照？” 丁伶的目光缓缓自石慧和石坤天面上扫过，看到了她丈夫面颊上晶莹的泪珠，在这一刹那间，她突然觉得上天已经赋予她极多，在临死的时候，还让自己的亲人陪着自己。 也就在这一刻里，她觉得自己的愤世嫉俗、怀恨苍生的心理都错了，她甚至后悔自己在这一生中所做的大多数事。 于是她让自己的目光温柔的停留在她的丈夫身上，她觉得世上唯有他才是自己最亲近的人，数十年来对黑铁手的怀念，此刻都完全消失了，在这险境的时候，她才发现自己爱着的究竟是谁。 她微弱的呼唤道：“大哥，大哥……你……你不要替我报仇了，我高……高兴得很……现在还能见着你，已……已经……足够了。” 这断续、微弱的声音，使得石坤天的心都几乎碎了，他又抢上一步，握着丁伶的手，轻轻地呼唤着丁伶的名字。 他的呼唤和石慧的呼唤交杂成一首任何人都无法谱出的哀曲。 Suddenly—— 门外有人重重的咳嗽了一声，又轻轻的敲着门，石坤天回头一望，一个长身玉立的少年已悄然地推开门，悄然走了过来。 石坤天觉得这少年面目陌生，正自奇怪他为什么会冒失的闯了进来，然而石慧一见这人，一颗心却
