Chapter 8 Chapter Eight

Snow began to fall again. Facing the blowing northwest wind, the snowflakes were icy sticking to the face of Nie Fangbiao, the Dragon into the Clouds, but he didn't bother to reach out to wipe it off, because at this moment, his heart was full of youthful enthusiasm, and he needed it just now. Kind of cool snow to adjust. The road stretching straight ahead, the snow has just melted away, now there is a new layer of snow that has just fallen, making the road even more muddy, and even the sound made by the horseshoes stepping on the ground is so greasy, so greasy People's hearts seem to have been covered with a layer of lard.

Nie Fangbiao touched the mud splashed by the cart next to him, and realized that his horse was getting too close to the cart. He couldn't help smiling secretly, and turned the rein to the left with his right hand, and the horse turned to the left. The more you drive, the farther you are from the cart. However, Nie Fangbiao's heart was still attached to this big car, because it was the first girl who could break into his heart since he came down the mountain. He entered the mountain at the age of seven, and spent ten years in Wudang Mountain. During the past ten years, he has been constantly tempering his body and mind in order to be able to stand out in the martial arts in the future.Sure enough, as soon as he came out of the rivers and lakes, he defeated masters repeatedly, and made a big "Wan'er" in the martial arts.

However, the heart of this young Jianghu master has always been cold and hard. This is because of the long days of loneliness. Until now, only the shadow of a young girl has entered his heart.She is the descendant of Xiao Clan who is famous in martial arts——Jade Sword Xiao Ling. How he wished that she could stick her head out and take a look at him, as long as she took a look, she would be willing. But he also knew that this hope was extremely slim, because no matter how diligent he was, this lonely girl never said anything to him, and he knew the reason very well, because her girlish heart had been completely given to him. The mysterious ancient turbidity is gone.

"Gu Zhuopiao—" He murmured the name resentfully, turned his eyes around, and saw that there seemed to be a lot of pedestrians on the road today, and everyone seemed to have a happy look on their faces. He couldn't help sighing secretly, but when he heard the "whistle" of the driver's handlebar, he swung the whip and hit the horse's back hard, turning his head and laughing: "Guest officer, you are so lucky, Just in time to go to Baoding to watch 'Da Chun'." Nie Fangbiao let out an "oh" and said slowly, "It's the beginning of spring today, and the days go by so fast."

The handlebars smiled and said: "It's not that the days go by so fast. Last year, the younger one watched the Dachun in Baoding Mansion. Drink, it was really lively." He gulped and spit, and laughed again Said: "I want to teach you to know that the way this little car is driving is going to the east gate of Baoding. It is not yet the time of Xu, and Qionghua Temple in the east of the city is very lively!" Nie Fangbiao smiled casually. At this moment, how could he have the leisure to watch "Dachun". This classic of "beating spring" has a long history, and it is commonly known as "three days to beat spring, and all the herbs will sprout".This "beating spring" is inseparable from the farmland, so it is valued. On the day of the beginning of spring, even the emperor personally leads the three gongs and nine ministers, princes and officials to welcome the spring in the eastern suburbs. There is also this "Code of Beating Spring".

"Spring, its location is in the east, its color is green, and the five elements belong to wood." Therefore, on the day of Lichun, all officials in counties and counties wear blue clothes to whip cattle, which means "beating spring". The car handlebars thought it was anxious to watch "Da Chun", the car drove faster and faster, Xiao Ling, who was sitting in the car, felt that he was shaking badly, sighed, and put her father's quilt up, but his heart was empty, Not knowing what to think, he sighed again, pushed open the window of the car beside him, poked his head out, looked at the snowflakes all over the sky, and murmured: "It's snowing again." Thinking of the first time I arrived in Gyeonggi, it was also snowing heavy snow?So the old shadow in the snow, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, came to her heart unstoppably, and her heart was also filled with chaotic emotions, and she didn't even hear what Nie Fangbiao said to her.

Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of people in front, and she couldn't help sticking her head out a little more. Although she still didn't see anything, the noise was getting closer and closer, and then the car stopped. She frowned slightly, and wanted to ask what was going on, but Nie Fangbiao said with a smile: "It's just in time for spring, the people in front are very crowded, and the car seems to be impassable. If the girl feels better, why don't you come out?" Take a look and relax." Xiao Ling looked back at her father, the Lord of Xiaoxiang castle seemed to be fast asleep at the moment, so she opened the car door and walked out, because she was very upset and wanted to find something to forget what was occupying her heart at this moment That hateful yet lovely shadow.

As soon as he got out of the car door, he saw that the front was full of pits and valleys crowded with human heads, and on top of the human head, there was actually a human head in the middle that was bigger than Ba ​​Dou. Xiao Ling couldn't help being startled, he took a closer look and saw clearly, Only then did I realize that it was just a paper piercing god. She couldn't help laughing at herself, why her eyes have been dizzy these days, but she smiled flatteringly at the handlebars: "You can see clearly only when you stand on the seat of this car." Xiao Ling smiled faintly, and stepped onto the shaft of the chariot.Ruyun Shenlong got off the horse in a hurry, and wanted to reach out to help her, but Xiao Ling had already stepped on it.

But the handlebars ran down, and said with a smile: "You always go up and have a look, the paper-stitched spring cows and awns are so big! Standing under the eaves and wearing auspicious clothes is the old man of Baoding Mansion, and he is still singing Drama." Nie Fangbiao glanced at Xiao Ling, hesitantly stepped up, but seeing that Xiao Ling didn't seem to care, he couldn't help but stand side by side with her, looking at her beautiful face from the corner of his eyes, his heart was beating very hard, Busily collected himself, he also looked into the crowd. I saw more than a dozen officials in blue auspicious clothes sitting outside the Qionghua Temple. In front of them were three tables filled with soup, food, wine and food. Before the banquet, they were surrounded by several wooden boards. There was an actor sitting in this space. A ditty was sung on the ground, but the voices were too noisy, but he couldn't hear a word of what he was singing, and felt a bit boring.

Coupled with the fact that it was still snowing at this time, he wanted to persuade Xiao Ling not to stand outside in the wind and snow, but from the corner of his eyes, he saw a smile on the corner of Xiao Ling's mouth, so he swallowed the words on his lips again. After going back, not to mention that when the wind blew, the fragrance of virginity exuded from Xiao Ling's body also followed, he really couldn't bear to leave. After a while, the actor finished singing, but the gongs and drums were beating beside him, and an actress in a red satin skirt and a clown with white powder on his face walked up.The two twisted and twisted, and actually made many unsightly appearances.He felt impatient again, and suddenly saw the official sitting on the top wearing the flower feather slap the table, at this moment the voice of the people fell silent, and he saw the official scolding in a furious manner: "Wait Li people, who don’t know how to cherish the spring and engage in farming, and when they are full, they indulge in indulgence, not only about weathering, but want to waste the land, what crime should they be!”

After hearing this, Xiao Ling burst out laughing, looked sideways at Nie Fangbiao and said with a smile: "Why is this person so confused, he is just acting, but it's not true, what power is he showing?" Nie Fangbiao has traveled all over the rivers and lakes for a long time, but he knows that this is just a routine matter. Presumably, this Jade Sword Xiao Ling has never left his home, and he doesn't even know this kind of folk affairs. He explained himself to Xiao Ling, but he heard the clown knelt before the banquet and said loudly: "Xiaomin must not know how to read and write, it's because the old cow is lazy, that's why it happened." Then the official sang and beat loudly, so the guards standing on both sides ran out, took the paper whip in the hand of the mang god, and beat the paper-wrapped spring cow hard, yelling: "One dozen!" The weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe with two strikes, and the grand master is promoted with three strikes." At this time, Xiao Ling also knew that these were just a customary ceremony, but this kind of thing that seemed extremely ridiculous on weekdays was the best way to relieve worries at this moment, and she actually laughed without knowing it. Suddenly, the official overturned the table in front of him, smashing all the cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks, and then there was an uproar. It turns out that it is said that if you can tear off a piece of this spring cow and take it home, women who have been infertile for many years will also have children immediately. Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing, but the crowd was getting more and more chaotic, and he felt his body was still limp, as if he was about to fall down, but when he moved his eyes, he saw a strange thing. It turned out that when the rushing crowd was rushing forward, there seemed to be a mainstay of a rock in the middle of the crowd, and the crowd split into two when they reached there. Ruyun Shenlong thought he had also noticed it, glanced sideways at Xiao Ling, and said with a slight smile: "I never imagined that there are martial arts masters among these people." After all, he has much more experience, so at a glance, he knew that there must be masters in the martial arts in the crowd, and the rushing crowd had to separate when they reached these people's sides. Xiao Ling had just recovered from a long illness. After standing for a long time, his body became very weak. He smiled and stepped out of the car from the other side, but for some reason, he felt dizzy again and lost his foot. She couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, all of her body was full of kung fu, but because of this serious illness, she was so sick that she disappeared without a trace. At this moment, her body fell straight down, Nie Fangbiao turned around in surprise, but it was too late. Unexpectedly, when Xiao Ling was panicking, he suddenly felt his waist tighten, and a huge force suddenly lifted him up from below, and then he fell to the ground safely. She was even more startled, her feet were on the ground, and she turned around to look quickly, only to see a young scholar in green clothes and blue hat, looking at her with a smile, and said to herself with a smile: "How can someone as pretty as a girl be?" It’s not good to go to such a place and break your body later.” Xiao Ling's face was slightly red, seeing that the young man's brows and eyes were somewhat similar to Gu Zhuopiao's, but even more graceful than Gu Zhuopiao's. The strange thing is that she didn't show any anger at the almost frivolous words of the young man in Tsing Yi, she said "thank you" softly and walked into the carriage with her head down. Nie Fangbiao saw it, but his heart didn't feel very useful, he got off the car and gave the young man a hard look, but the young man still smiled and said slowly: "My lord, you should also be careful. For play." Rising Cloud Shenlong raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of anger, and said sharply: "My friend, make your tricks brighter, this is not a place for you to show off your quick words." Ryuyun Shenlong has always been known for his deep nature, but for some reason, he couldn't calm down at this moment. The young man laughed, his gaze flickered, but his face changed slightly. Nie Fangbiao was surprised, but he heard a deep voice behind him saying coldly: "Good friend, this is what makes the world meet you everywhere. Unexpectedly The mountain does not turn around, and we meet here again, I am really happy that my surname is Zhan." The young man in Tsing Yi was still smiling and didn't speak. Nie Fangbiao couldn't help but turned around to look, and saw a very tall man standing behind him. Seeing him turn around, his cold eyes turned to him, and he looked him up and down from head to toe. Nie Fang's specimen was already filled with resentment, he couldn't help being even more unhappy at this moment, secretly angry at this person's rudeness, who would have thought that this person took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pushed his chest, shouting: "Get out of the way!" Nie Fangbiao raised his eyebrows, and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?" He stepped slightly, his right hand came out suddenly, his five fingers were like hooks, and he went to pinch the man's veins, and quickly drew a half arc with his left palm, "swiping" Hit the man's side. These two moves are the unique skills in the martial arts world. The "Seventy-Two Ways of Wudang Small Grasping Hands" is mixed with the "Nine Palaces Chain Palm". When I got up, the wind was whistling, as fast as lightning, and I felt even more extraordinary. The tall man's complexion changed slightly, his arm sank, he quickly withdrew his right hand, but swung his left palm out at the same moment, he scolded himself: "My good friend really has two tricks!" Nie Fangbiao let out a muffled snort, stretched out his palms, and struck out again. His fingers were stretched obliquely, and his palms were sunken. It was obvious at a glance that the palm strength of his inner family "Little Tianxing" was contained in it. As soon as the two of them started fighting, Yujian Xiao Ling couldn't get in. He leaned on the shaft of the car, watching helplessly as Nie Fangbiao and others started fighting for no reason. , can't help but secretly blame Nie Fangbiao for his recklessness. She looked away for a moment, but saw the young man in Tsing Yi smiled at her again, and said loudly: "That man came after Xiao Ke, but unexpectedly, he made a move with Zunyou." Nie Fangbiao rushed to attack with several moves, but saw that the man's skills were far beyond his expectations. Now that he heard the young man's words, he couldn't help but blame himself for being so confused that he started fighting with him.Judging from this person's martial arts, he must also be a master of martial arts, but the strange thing is that his face is very unfamiliar, he is actually very young, but his skills seem to be superior to his own. It must be known that Ruyun Shenlong was originally known as the most outstanding master among the younger generations in the Jianghu. At this moment, he was naturally surprised and a little frightened, but he couldn't help secretly blaming himself for being troubled. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had undone more than a dozen moves, and the fluttering snowflakes were blown away by the wind of the two's palms.Nie Fangbiao knew that his opponent must recognize him as the boy, so he made the move, but the matter has come to this point, and he can no longer explain it. The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and watched from the side, he actually looked like "it's none of his business". Seeing this, Xiao Ling was annoyed and funny. But seeing a few more people rushing over, they yelled: "Brother Zhan, why are you making a move here? Zhaoxi; boil the magnet, shake the ladle, throw it away, teach me how to shake it The surname Zhan is very happy." The young man in Tsing Yi was still smiling and didn't speak. Nie Fangbiao couldn't help but turned around to look, and saw a very tall man standing behind him. Seeing him turn around, his cold eyes turned to him, and he looked him up and down from head to toe. Nie Fang's specimen was already filled with resentment, he couldn't help being even more unhappy at this moment, secretly angry at this person's rudeness, who would have thought that this person took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pushed his chest, shouting: "Get out of the way!"

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and watched from the side, he actually looked like "it's none of his business". Seeing this, Xiao Ling was annoyed and funny. But seeing a few more people rushing over, they shouted: "Brother Zhan, why are you making a move here!" The person in the voice had already arrived, and when he saw Nie Fangbiao, he couldn't help but exclaimed, waved his hands again and again, and said: "Brother Zhan, stop quickly, we are all of our own people." Then he said: "The Governor of Baoding is here , it will be a little troublesome if the officials are alerted later." The tall boy let out a "hum", but stopped his hands.Nie Fangbiao also retreated far away, Xiao Ling glanced over, and saw that the person persuading the fight was a short and fat man, although he was young, his belly was already protruding, and there were a man and a woman walking with him, but they were both The handsome young man showed his superb martial arts skills. When Nie Fangbiao saw the three of them, he was slightly taken aback. He took two steps forward and blurted out, "So it's Tang Daxia." The short and fat man laughed loudly, and said loudly: "After so many years, why did Brother Nie come here?" He glanced at Xiao Ling: "Whether you are taking Baojuan to the capital to celebrate the New Year, then you will be on the same journey as your brother." Xiao Ling spat secretly, but was inconvenient, turned around and walked into the carriage. The short and fat man was still laughing from behind, stretched out his palm, patted the tall man on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "How did you two get started? Come on, I'll give you two Introduction, this is Shaoxia Nie, the god dragon who is well-known in the rivers and lakes, brother Zhan must have heard of this name before!" Then he said to Nie Fangbiao: "This Zhan Yifan, Shaoxia Zhan, although he just debuted, he is The younger brother of the current master of Diantang." He laughed again, and said: "You two are the senior disciples of the famous and upright sect masters, you should get closer in the future." Nie Fangbiao suddenly thought to himself, no wonder he is so skillful, he turned out to be a senior brother of Diancang, and exchanged some greetings with a smile, but Zhan Yifan looked behind Nie Fangbiao with a livid face, and said coldly, "Hero Nie, why are you so angry?" Why don't you introduce Zunyou for us?" He snorted coldly, and then said: "On our way, Zunyou took care of us all the way, and we haven't thanked you yet." Nie Fangbiao was startled, but he felt overwhelmed in an instant, and just as he was about to speak, the young man in Tsing Yi came over with a smile on his face, and said, "Xiaosheng is a scholar, but he can't be compared to a friend like Nie Daxia." Xue Hua said again: "The weather is so cold, Xiaosheng really can't stay here anymore, if the heroes don't have any orders, let's leave now." Zhan Yifan's face turned blue and white for a while, as if he was dizzy with anger.But the short and fat man laughed and said: "My friend, real people don't show their eyes, but my surname Tang is not blind, and I can tell that you are an expert, but I have no new enmity with you, let alone There is no old grudge, friends have played with each other many times, but there is something unreasonable." The boy still smiled and said: "Your Excellency, don't make a mistake, Xiao Ke is just a scholar, not an expert." Zhan Yifan's face became more and more ugly, Fang Zi yelled angrily, but was stopped by the fat man surnamed Tang.The young man in Tsing Yi smiled at him, turned around and glanced into the carriage, and walked away. Xiao Ling looked at his back, and the emotional tide became disordered again. This young man was really too similar to Gu Zhuopiao, that kind of smirking face, the look on his lazily proclaiming that "Xiao Ke is just a scholar", was either Gu Zhuopiao or Gu Zhuopiao The shadow floating on the ground of Gyeonggi?However, she also knew very clearly that this person was not Gu Zhuopiao, because not only was he taller than Gu Zhuopiao's slender figure, but also his voice was soft and soft. It's quite handsome, but it's not as good as it is. So she almost smiled at the extraordinaryness of her sweetheart, but how could she smile?Because there is another emotion that is suppressing her smile, at this moment her mind is tossing and turning, and she is plunged into deep and deep sorrow. Zhan Yifan clenched his fists tightly, looked at the back of the young man in green, and said bitterly: "If brother Tang didn't stop me, I would like to see what changed in him." Nie Fangbiao was also secretly surprised, and thought: "Why is Boss Tang afraid of trouble?" Then he thought again: "These three outstanding Tangmen also came to Hebei. Remnant Gold Poison Palm!" Suddenly, his heart moved, and another thought came to him. It turned out that this short and fat man was one of the masters of the "Sichuan Tangmen" who was famous for his poison hidden weapons. He chased after Tang Hualong with a smile on his face. Are you so idle? There is nothing wrong with them, one thing more is worse than one thing less, besides, don't you want to rush to the capital to fight the golden poisonous palm?" As soon as the word "Golden Poison Palm" caught Xiao Ling's ears, she couldn't help sticking her head out, wanting to see who had the ambition to fight the Remnant Gold Poison Palm.Nie Fangbiao, the god dragon who entered the cloud, was also looking at the swordsman who entered the rivers and lakes at the beginning of the Cang Dynasty. He was also thinking about the meaning of the phrase "a fight of broken gold and poisonous palms", but he couldn't help laughing secretly at it, and thought: "With Your Excellency's There is still a little bit of kung fu to fight the golden and poisonous palm." He said in his mouth: "If Hero Zhan can get rid of this devil in the martial arts world, it will be our luck—" But Tang Hualong interrupted him suddenly, and asked: "Brother Nie came to Heshuo from afar, probably for the same reason as brother? I heard that someone from Xiaoxiang Fort also came this time, and Yu Dafu, Zhong Nan Yijian, was also in Heshuo." There have been traces in the Shuo area, and the city of Beijing must be very lively." He smiled loudly, turned his head and pointed at the young men and women standing behind him who had never made a sound, and said again: "As soon as the brothers and sisters heard that all the sages in the capital had gathered, they dragged me out as if they couldn't wait. It also happened to be in the dormitory, and Wen Yan also came with my brother." He stroked his "extraordinary" belly: "I never thought I'd meet Brother Nie again here, it's really great." This master of hidden weapons known as "hunting souls" smiled and said: "Brother has been bored at home for many years, I never expected to encounter such a lively scene as soon as I came out." Nie Fangbiao looked at the big cart, but couldn't help smiling wryly, and said in a deep voice, "My little brother is not going to Beijing at this moment, but just came out of Beijing." He sighed, pointed to the big cart, and said, "To tell you the truth, Brother Tang, the ones sitting in the cart at the moment are the father and daughter Xiaoxiang Castle Master Xiao and Miss Yujian Xiao." As soon as these words came out, Zhan Yifan and the Tang brothers and sisters couldn't help but gasped in surprise. Tang Hualong turned around and looked at the big car, only to see that the windows and doors were tightly closed. His heart moved, and he said eagerly: "It turns out that Senior Xiao is also here. I wonder if Brother Nie can introduce us to you." Zhan Yifan also continued: "Although Xiao Ke is far away in the south of Yunnan, he has long admired the heroic name of the Lord of Xiaoxiang Castle. He never thought that he would be lucky enough to meet his old man's hero here today." Rising Cloud Shenlong gave a wry smile, and sighed in a deep voice: "Everyone on the road, haven't you heard that the Lord of Xiaoxiang Castle has been poisoned by the poisonous palm of the golden poison in Gyeonggi? Brothers left the capital to go south this time to escort Xiaoxiang. The old man returned to the castle to heal his wounds." He paused for a moment, then sighed again: "It's a long story, everyone is in the capital, but you can go to Senior Tiezhi Jinwan Wei, Senior Tianlingxing Sun and Dragon Tongue Sword Lin are all there. When you see them, you will know the details of this matter, alas—” He let out a long sigh, and said again: "Anyway, today's world is full of dangers. The most frightening thing is that the Golden Poisonous Palm seems to have an heir, and his heir is actually the current Xiangguo son." Yujian Xiaoling was crouching in the corner of the carriage at this moment, her heart was full of knots, and every word outside was like a sharp arrow shooting into her heart, but what else could she do besides being silent?For decades, Xiaoxiang Fort, which has been admired by martial arts, has just come out of the rivers and lakes after being hidden for many years. It is self-evident that this young girl from the Xiao Clan is feeling at this moment, not to mention that besides this, she also has her own emotions. troubled miles. With a mournful sigh, she hid herself in the shadows in the corner of the carriage. But at this moment, outside the carriage, there was a series of sighs mixed with surprise and emotion. After listening to the narration of Ruyun Shenlong, the three words "Gu Zhuopiao" have left a deep impression on the hearts of these martial arts masters who have just come to Heshuo. Of course, after listening to Nie Fangbiao's After the narration, their impression of Gu Zhuopiao must be extremely bad. Nie Fangbiao, Dragon of the Clouds, smiled sinisterly, secretly proud that he had already caused enough troubles on his "rival in love", then cupped his fists and said, "Brothers are on standby right now, so we have to stay away from the capital. After arriving in the capital, there will be an effective way to deal with the Residual Gold Poison Palm!" He intentionally paused, sighed and said: "Especially that young master Gu, who, in his status as the dignified prince of the country, has become the minion of the martial arts devil. If this person is not eliminated, there will be an untold amount of blood in the martial arts world." It's on him, brother once this incident is over, he has to rush back to the capital immediately, I hope brother can catch up with everyone's grand feat of eliminating this martial arts scum." Zhan Yifan gave a contemptuous smile, and said, "This guy surnamed Gu has been stable in Beijing for a few days, and the bad days are about to come." The meaning of conceit under the words is beyond words. Xiao Ling, who was curled up in the car, heard these words, what was he thinking in his heart?The night is very deep. The Ping An Escort Bureau in Beijing suddenly became lively because of the sudden arrival of four martial arts masters. The martial arts masters who rushed here in the middle of the night were naturally the three brothers and sisters of the Tang Sect in Sichuan, and Xie Baishi, the master of the Dian Cang Sword Sect in the border of Yunnan, the master of the seven-handed sword Xie Baishi. That night, the hall in the Ping An Escort was brightly lit and lit all night. All the people present were celebrities from the martial arts world. Naturally, they were talking about the devil who had affected the entire rivers and lakes and was immortal for a hundred years, the golden poisonous palm and the mysterious It's an ancient thing. The whereabouts of Remnant Gold Poison Palm are unpredictable, and although Gu Zhuopiao also has mysterious whereabouts, but he is a man of wealth. After talking about these things, the result is that if you want to get rid of this evil head who has been in trouble for a hundred years, you can only get rid of it from Gu Zhuopiao. Let's do it without any scruples, because since Gu Zhuopiao is the son of Xiangguo, they obviously have more scruples than themselves. In the early morning of the second day, at the gate of Xiangguo's mansion, two caravans drove up and stopped far away. A burly man over middle age stepped out of the car. From his figure and footsteps, one could tell at a glance that he was a martial artist. The post was handed over to the servant at the door, saying that he wanted to meet Mr. Xiangguo. This person is none other than Lin Peiqi, a martial arts master of the ranger Jianghu, Dragon Tongue Sword. At this moment, his expression is slightly uncertain, and he seems a little anxious, standing on the stone steps and pacing back and forth. Although he has been in the rivers and lakes, he has done countless life-and-death activities, and he has seen countless bloody scenes, but now he is in front of the prime minister's official residence, he still can't help feeling a little panicked. Looking in from the gate, the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is deep. Although he has entered it before, he still feels that the depth of the Hou Men is indeed as deep as the sea, which is beyond his reach. After a while, a ten-year-old boy came out of the door. Seeing Lin Peqi, he gave a deep bow and said, "My lord is in the back garden now. Please go through the side door." This was obviously not very polite, but Lin Peqi didn't take it seriously, because according to his status, it was not too much. At this moment, he smiled and said loudly: "Then I will trouble the housekeeper to lead the way." This young boy is Gu Zhuopiao's close-fitting book boy Qier, with his two big eyes blinking, he looked Lin Peiqi up and down, and said with a smile: "My son said, the masters who came with you, please agree with me." You go somewhere, the young master has not been feeling well for the past two days, so he didn't come out to pick you up in person, please forgive me." Sitting in the car were Tianling star Sun Qingyu, brothers and sisters of Tangmen, Chenggai who drove the cicada in eight steps, and the young swordsman Zhan Yifan from Diancang. They all got out after hearing Lin Peqi's greeting. Qi'er looked at Cheng Gai, smiled and said hello, "You're here too." Cheng Gai managed to force a smile, but he felt very uncomfortable. He thought of what happened in the abandoned house in the wilderness a few days ago, and felt a little embarrassing at the moment, but no one else paid attention to it. Everyone meandered into that side alley, everyone was doing nothing, and they looked like they were going out to visit friends, but in fact they were all a little nervous, especially after seeing Gu Zhuopiao's martial arts, and even pretending to be with him. Those who have used their hands from time to time are even more heartbroken, fearing that something will be bad, so they start their hands, but they are not their opponents. It turned out that these people had already gone through careful business consultations when they came here, and after they were going to meet Gu Zhuopiao, they opened the skylight to speak frankly, asked him directly if he had anything to do with Canjin Poison Palm, and even revealed those murder cases together Come, let's see how the Xiangguo son will answer. Of course, this idea could not have come from Tianlingxing, because seventeen years ago, in Huashan for a while, the wonderful miraculous skill and cruel and vicious methods of Canjin Poison Palm still made him deeply terrified at this moment. Before, he also experienced others' skills. So at this moment, he is just walking far behind, if someone tells him not to go, he will also wish for it. It is Zhan Yifan, the younger brother of Dian Cang who just came out of the rivers and lakes, who strongly advocates this. At this moment, he and Tang Huayu, a young master of the Tang Sect, were walking in the front, with their palms clenched into fists and hidden in their sleeves, it turned out that his palms were also covered in cold sweat. As soon as he came out of the Jianghu, he relied on the famous "Dian Cang Sword Art" in the Jianghu, and always wanted to make a career in the Jianghu with more than ten years of continuous hard training, and earn "millions" for himself. What's more, he thinks that Gu Zhuopiao is still young even though he is highly skilled. Tongujian and other martial arts masters, are you afraid that they won't be able to resist?But even so, the deep-rooted power created by the four words "residual gold poisonous palm" in the martial arts made this little brother Cang Gao couldn't help but feel an unspeakable shudder all over his body at this moment. To meet a person who may be related to the Remnant Gold Poison Palm-whether it is related or not is still unknown. As soon as he entered the alley, the weather seemed to be getting darker. Qi'er led the way first, turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone, be careful!" He smiled slightly: "The weather is cloudy and the road is slippery, so don't fall." I was afraid that these martial arts masters would stumble, and if someone else uttered these words, there would be another dispute immediately, but the person who spoke was only a young boy, Zhan Yifan felt somewhat uncomfortable, but he did not let go. on heart. His eyes flashed, and suddenly a person walked by in front of him. Although Zhan Yifan didn't recognize him as Gu Zhuopiao, he saw that this person was wearing a rather gorgeous robe, his eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his nose was hanging like a gallbladder. , Between the looks, the flying is shining, and the heart can't help but move: "I'm afraid this person is ancient." With a thought in his heart, he took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Xiao Ke, I am presumptuous, your Excellency must be Mr. Gu." The corner of his mouth twitched, it was a smile, and he said: "Xiao Ke has been famous for a long time, and seeing him today, his reputation is really well-deserved." As Gu Zhuopiao looked around, he not only glanced at all the people walking in the alley, but also looked up and down at the tall, heroic young man who was standing in front of him and talking. He was not surprised that this person recognized him. He smiled loudly and cupped his fists and said, "Your Excellency must be the hero Zhan Yifan." His eyes fell on Tang Huayu, and he smiled again: "This is probably Sichuan. The chivalrous men of the Tang Sect, I am so old and virtuous, and I am so terrified that I have caused the labor of all of you." Tang Huayu was the youngest in this group of people, and he was no more than crowned. At this moment, his face showed a slight surprise, he stepped forward, and also cupped his hands: "Xiao Ke and the young master have never met before, how can the young master—" Although he didn't finish his sentence, the implication was obviously, I don't know you, how do you know me?Gu Zhuopiao laughed loudly, but he didn't answer his words, because at this time everyone also came up, Tianling star Sun Qingyu heard their conversation from a distance, and secretly thought: "This Gu Gongzi is indeed very witty, he From the signature on our famous post and the dart bag on Tang Huayu's waist, we can guess the origin of others, he is not only witty, but also very careful." In this case, the person who walked into this alley behind Qier with a dart bag on his waist is naturally a member of the Tang Sect, while the person with nothing on his waist but with a long sword stuck obliquely behind his back is naturally Tie Zhan Yifan, who was named on the board. Gu Zhuopiao glanced sharply in front of everyone, and then stayed on Sun Qingyu's face. The slightly sarcastic coldness in his eyes made the sophisticated Tianlingxing couldn't help turning his gaze elsewhere, not daring to meet his gaze. He hesitated for a while before trying to find something to say, but Gu Zhuopiao smiled and said: "Xiao Ke is shameless, his words are sloppy, and when everyone was leaving last time, Xiao Ke didn't respectfully see you off.心里一直遗憾得很，却想不到各位宽宏大量，此刻又枉驾敝处，小可高兴之余，特此当面谢过，还请恕罪。” 他此话一出，龙舌剑林佩奇和八步赶蝉程垓都不禁为之面赧，人家都是将自己待以上宾，而自己却不告而去，无论如何，这话都有些说不过去，此刻人家再如此一说，这两人面上都不禁有些挂不住了，不知该说什么才好。 孙清羽却强笑着答道：“小可们江湖草民，打扰公子多次，已是不当，再加上伤病之人，更不敢在相府中打扰，公子明人，想必知道小可们的苦衷。” 古浊飘仰天一笑，目光一转之后，忽然瞪在孙清羽脸上：“那么孙老英雄此次枉驾敝处，却是又有何事见教？” 他笑声一顿，嘴角的冷削之意便很明显地露了出来，目光直勾勾地望着孙清羽，想是要看穿这江湖老手心里所想的事。 天灵星又期艾着，唐化龙本是站在他身侧，此刻走了过来，大笑道：“化龙此次北来，一路上就听说京城中出了位翩翩浊世的佳公子，无论文武两途，都是高人一等，是以化龙入了京城，就不嫌冒昧，借着孙老前辈的引见，来拜会拜会高人。” 古浊飘微笑一下，道：“唐大侠过誉了。” 他目光在这笑面追魂腰边一转，望着那绣得极为精致的镖囊，又微笑道：“唐大侠这镖囊中所存的，想必就是名震天下的唐门绝器了，小可久闻玄妙，却始终无缘见识，等会儿一定要拜见一下。” 唐化龙肥胖的脸上的肥肉，立刻也挤出一个颇为“动人”的笑容来，一手抚着他那“过人”的肚子，一面笑道：“雕虫小技，怎人得了方家法眼！等下公子若有兴趣，小可一定将这些不成材的东西拿出来，让公子一一过目一下。” 这两人虽然面上都带着笑容，但言词间却已满含锋锐。 天灵星孙清羽心中数转，却已在奇怪这古浊飘为什么始终没有将自己这些人请进去，而在这小巷里扯着闲篇。 他心中忽上忽落，惟恐这机智过人的古公子已测知自己的来意，早已埋伏了杀着，就在这无人的巷子里，要自己好看。 但是他久走江湖，号称“天灵星”，是何等狡狯的人物，此刻面上仍然微微含笑，装作若无其事的样子，朗声笑道：“古公子人中龙凤，卓俊超人，我等愚昧，有几件事想请教一下。” 古浊飘又一笑，道：“众位大驾前来，小可本应略尽地上之谊，但不巧得很，家严刚刚差人来着小可前去有事训示，小可不得不暂且失陪，还请各位恕罪。” 这古浊飘竟下起逐客令来，唐化龙、唐化羽不禁都面色微变，展一帆两道剑眉，此刻一皱，张嘴刚想说话。 哪知古浊飘却又笑道：“各位如果有事见教的话，再过半个对时，小可再来就教，只要告诉小可一个地方，自会前来，也用不着再劳动各位的大驾了。” 他面上仍然泛着笑意，只是在这种笑意后面，却使人感觉到一丝寒意。 天灵星孙清羽干咳一声，心中暗忖：“再过半个对时，就是子时了，这古浊飘约定的时间，竟是夜深之际，又是为的什么呢？” 他心里又起了忐忑，嘴中却笑道：“公子既然有事，小可等自应告退……” 展一帆接着道：“公子既然约定夜间见面，那再好也没有，只是我等初来此地，京城里有什么佳处可供清谈的，也不知道，还是公子说定一个地方好了，子正之际，小可们一定去向公子剪烛长谈一番。” 那棋儿站在旁边，眨动着大眼睛在各人身上望来望去，此刻却突然笑着插口道：“公子，我倒想起一个好地方来了，就是那天您去游春时，遇见程大侠的那地方，又清静，又没人，这会小的先差人去打扫一下，摆上一桌酒，在那里无论谈什么，不是都方便得很吗？” 古浊飘双眉微皱，低叱道：“棋儿，你不要多口。” 展一帆却哈哈笑道：“这位小管家年纪轻轻，就如此能干，好极了，好极了，这地方再好没有了。” 他转向程垓，又道：“等会就有劳程老前辈引路了。” 古浊飘仍然是那样微笑着，道：“既然展大侠意下如此，就这样决定好了，此刻小可先行告退，失礼之处，恕罪恕罪。”说着，竟长揖转身走了。 天灵星孙清羽花白的双眉紧皱到一处，望着古浊飘的背影，心里思潮紊乱，他知道这相国公子，别的不选，偏偏选中这种僻静之地作为谈话之处，必定有着深意。 “难道他也因知道我们看出他的破绽，而他真的是那残金毒掌的门人，是以将我们引到那种地方，正好一网打尽？” 他心头一凛，又忖道：“只是那真的残金毒掌此刻又在哪里呢？他最后一次出现，是在那位两河名捕金眼雕身死的时候——当然，这因为在金眼雕的尸身上有着金色掌印——此刻几次残金毒掌的现身，怕就是这古浊飘伪装的了，只是今夜，他会不会也前来呢？” 他心里极快地转着念头，再抬眼望去，古浊飘和棋儿已走回门里了。 一进了那后园旁的侧门，棋儿就回身将门关上，加快脚步，走到古浊飘身侧，竟像个大人似的长叹了一声，说道：“公子，我知道您的心情一定苦闷得很，但是再这样下去，您怎么办呢？我——” 这精灵的童子此刻眼眶竟红了起来，接着道：“我身受您的救命之恩，这些年来，一直跟着您，您不但待我好，什么事也没将我当外人看，我年纪虽然小，还不懂得事，但天天看着公子这么苦恼，心里也难受得很。” 古浊飘也长叹一声，低头黯然半晌，突然抬起头来，道：“你到卷帘子胡同去通知你爷爷一声，叫他吃过晚饭后，到我这里来一趟。” 他不禁又长叹一声，想到卷帘子胡同那栋房，就不禁想起萧凌，想起自己嘴唇接触到她的时候，和那一分带着颤抖的娇羞，想起坐在炉火边，那种温馥的情意。 “此情可待成追忆——”他朗声曼吟着，带着一缕刻骨铭心的相思，和一声无比惆怅的叹息，他走了过去，但是他已习惯了那种将往事都埋藏起来的痛苦——此刻在他英俊又冷削的面孔上，却像是没有什么激动。 于是他所有的往事，都在他这冷若坚冰似的面孔后面，凝结成一小块像钻石般的东西，隐藏在他脑海深处，除了他自己之外，谁也无法探测出这份宝藏，而对萧凌的怀念，却只不过仅是他脑海中这块钻石上新近才添上去的一块冰角罢了。 棋儿暗暗叹息着，像想说什么话，却又止住了，等到古浊飘英挺潇洒的背影被那玲珑剔透的假山完全掩住，他又从侧门里走了出去。 他没有坐车，也没有骑马，走得却极快，他那样机警俏皮、天真活泼的面孔上，此刻却像是蒙上了一层深思之色，也不知在想着什么。 走了半晌，到了一个气派甚大的宅子门口，这正是玉剑萧凌在此宿过一晚的地方，像以前一样，这房子此刻仍然重门深锁，门前竟蒙上了灰，像是很久以来，这房子都没有人进出过。 棋儿用力拍着门环。 又等了一会儿，那两扇厚重的大门才呀的一声开了一线，开门的还是那曾为玉剑萧凌开过两次门的老头子，低沉地问道：“谁呀？来干什么——” 但等到他那生满白发的头，从那两扇沉重的木板门里伸出半个，看清了叫门的人是谁的时候，他那干枯的脸上，才出现笑容，道：“原来是你，快进来，外面冷得很。”右手毫不费事地就拉开了那扇沉重的门。 但他为什么用一只手来开门呢？原来他左肩以下，就只剩下一只空荡荡的袖子，左臂竟齐肩断去了，他慈详而亲切地抚着棋儿的头，道：“你怎么好久没有来看你爷爷了，这儿天气冷，你可要小心呀！别受了凉，唉——” 这独臂的老人长叹了一声，道：“你要知道，我们夏家就只靠你传宗接代了——”他又长叹着，拍着棋儿的头道：“公子呢？这些日子来可好？” 棋儿眼眶红红的，随着这老人走到屋子里，屋子里生着大火炉，暖和得很，然而棋儿却更难受了，因为他爷爷从来冬天不烧火炉的，此刻烧起火炉来，显然不就是他老人家的身体更坏了些？ 他依偎在这老人身侧，半晌，才说道：“爷爷，公子叫我来告诉你老人家一声，说是今天晚上请您老人家到他那里去一趟。” 老人“哦”了一声，低头沉思了一会儿，眼中突然露出光彩，像是自语般说道：“好了，好了，我老头子总算有了替公子效力的机会，那么，纵然我死了也可以瞑目了。” 他目光慈爱地落到他的爱孙身上，缓缓道：“孩子，你可不要忘记，我们两人这条命，都是公子救回来的，若没有公子，不但我们这一老一少早就骨头都凉透了，你爹爹、你妈妈的大仇，又叫谁替我们报去？唉，爷爷现在想起来，那一天的事还好像就在眼前。” 他感慨地一顿，又抚着棋儿的头，说道：“孩子，你真要好好地用功，公子那一身功夫你只要学上一成，就可终生受用不尽了，我们的仇人虽已被公子杀了，仇也替我们报了，但爷爷总想你将来能强爷胜祖，在武林中替姓夏的露露脸。” 棋儿靠在他爷爷的怀里，两年多以前那一段血淋淋的往事，也在他小小的脑海里，留下一个极其深刻而鲜明的印象。 他眼泪流了下来，因为就在那天，他们本来安适、温暖的家，被拆散了，他的爹爹和妈妈都丧命在仇人的手里。 那天晚上，天上有许多星星，天气又热，他们全家都坐在院子里，爷爷指着天上的星星，告诉棋儿，哪里是南箕，哪里是北斗，走江湖的人，一定要认识这些星星，因为靠着这些，夜晚才能辨得出方向，棋儿记住了，爷爷笑了。 然而爷爷的笑声还没有完，墙上、屋顶上，突然出现了十几条黑影，爹爹、妈妈和爷爷全都跳了起来，厉声叱问着。 原来这些黑影都是大强盗，因爷爷、爹爹以前保镖的时候，得罪了他们，他们就趁爷爷和爹爹退隐的时候，来报仇了。 这些黑影手里都拿着兵刃跳了下来，就和爷爷、爹爹动上了手，他们虽然也被爷爷、爹爹、妈妈杀了三四个，但是他们人那么多，爷爷、爹爹他们手里又都没有拿着兵刃。 棋儿站在屋檐下面，希望爷爷能把他们打跑，但是一会儿不到，爹爹和妈妈竟同时被强盗杀了，爷爷的左臂也被强盗砍断，但仍然强自支持着和他们动着手。 棋儿急得快发昏了，大叫着跑了出去，却被一个强盗回身一脚，将棋儿踢了个滚，一直快滚到墙边上。 那强盗提着刀，又赶了上来，一脸的狞笑，棋儿知道这是强盗斩草除根要杀自己，只得闭上眼睛，心想：“我死了能上天去找爹爹、妈妈去，你要是死了，一定被打下十八层地狱。” 哪知却听得惨叫一声，棋儿没死，要杀棋儿的人却突然死了。棋儿睁开眼睛来，四下一看，才知道院子里突然多了一个人。 这个人穿着长袍，袍子飘飘的，棋儿眼睛只花了几花，那些大强盗们竟全都被这穿着长袍的人用重手法劈死了——棋儿想到这里，眼睛已完全湿了，大而晶莹的泪珠，沿着他那小而可爱的面颊流了下来，他感激地轻轻叫了声：“公子”。 因为他那救命的恩人，就是古浊飘。古浊飘不但救了他、救了他爷爷，还替他们报了仇，这已是够使他感激终生了。 那独臂老人也沉思着，像是在思索着什么。 忽然他站了起来，缓缓走到另一间房子里去，回头道：“孩子，你也跟着来吧。” 棋儿立刻跟着走了进去，那老人家走到他自己所住的那间屋子里，又低下头，站在床旁边思忖了牛晌，然后说道：“孩子，你把墙上挂着的那把刀拿下来。” 棋儿目光四转，墙角上果然挂着一把黄皮刀鞘，紫铜吞口的朴刀。 虽然他在惊异着爷爷的用意，但他仍然轻灵地一纵身，掠到那边，将高高挂在墙上的刀拿了下来。 老人严峻的脸上，此刻为了他爱孙的轻功而微笑了一下，等到那孩子拿着刀走到他面前，他才缓缓伸出右掌，坚定地说：“快把爷爷的大拇指和中指削下来。” 棋儿面色骤变，吃惊后退了一步，老人却又厉声喝叱道：“你听到没有，爷爷的话你敢不听吗？” 然而他看到那孩子面上的表情，又不禁长叹一声，放缓了声调，缓缓地说道：“孩子，我问你，这些日子来，你一直跟着公子，他可好吗？” 棋儿面颊上的泪珠，本未干透，此刻重又湿润了。 他垂下了头，可怜而委屈地说：“公子这些日子来，总是成天叹着气，脾气也更坏了，一会儿发脾气，一会儿又微笑着，抬头望着天，想着心事。” 他抬起头，望着他爷爷，又道：“公子的心里烦，棋儿也知道，可是爷爷……爷爷你……” 他抽泣着，竟说不下去了，老人两道几乎已全白的眉毛，此时已皱到一处，叹着气道：“我们一家身受公子的大恩，怎么报得清！”他眼中突然又现出夺人的神采，“大丈夫立身于世，讲究的是恩怨分明，有仇不报，固然不好，但身受人家的大恩而不报，也就是个小人了，孩子，你愿不愿意你爷爷做个小人呢？” 棋儿摇了摇头，老人重新伸出右掌，坚定而沉重地说：“那么，孩子，听爷爷的话。” 棋儿再抬起头，望着他爷爷那已干枯得不成人形的脸，但这一瞬间，他却觉得他爷爷的脸是这世上最美丽的，因为这正是男子汉大丈夫的脸，这张脸并没有因为苍老、干枯而衰退，反却更值得受人崇敬了。 于是他缓缓地，颤抖着，抽出了那柄刀，刀光一闪，使得这祖孙两人蒙上了一层无比神圣的光荣。 为着别人的事而残伤自己的肢体，纵然是报恩，这种人也值得受人崇敬的。
