The weather was cloudy and cold, and there was a fire burning in the deserted temple beside the secluded road. Seventeen or eighteen big men sat around the fire, empty bottles scattered around, and the big men clapped their hands and sang: "Panda, panda! , the number one knight-errant in the rivers and lakes, Bi Meimei is empty-handed, robs the rich and saves the poor, praises the unparalleled son of the world..." In the midst of laughter and singing, I suddenly heard a person outside the Huang Temple singing in response: "It is better to say that he is a drunk cat than to say that he is unparalleled in the world."

A figure flipped four buckets in the air and landed beside the fire. It was the bold and unrestrained panda with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The big guys all laughed and stood up, saying, "Brother is back." Some people said: "Brother, did you succeed?" The panda's eyes turned around, looking at Feiyang, and laughed loudly: "Brothers, I have heard of a panda who returned empty-handed." He stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of a yellow-faced man beside the fire, and said, "Old Wu Wu, your eyes are not blind, those two people really came from wrong ways, and their waists are really fat, it's just that these two people have martial arts skills. It’s so high, I’m afraid it’s unimaginable even in my dreams.”

The man Wu Laosi smiled and said: "No matter how good your martial arts are, how can you stop your empty hand?" Panda looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and said: "That makes sense, let me show you what I have harvested this time. This vote alone can make the dozens of orphans and widows at the North Gate live well. down." He stretched out his hand and patted his waist, his laughter suddenly stopped, his complexion changed suddenly, a hand that had been stretched into his bosom could not be taken out again.The big men were surprised and wondered: "What's wrong, big brother?"

The panda was stunned on the spot, and couldn't help murmuring: "It's amazing, it's amazing..." Under the firelight, I saw beads of sweat on his forehead, one by one, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Good skills, good man, I, Panda, can see someone like you today, even if I fall into a big fight, And willingly." Wu Laosi said: "Brother, who are you talking about?" Panda raised his thumb and said: "Speaking of this person, his martial arts skills are rare in the world, and his demeanor is the only one I have ever seen in my life. If I were a woman, it must be this person who would not marry."

Wu Lao Si was even more surprised, and asked, "Who is he?" Panda Er said: "He is the young man among the two fat sheep." The big fellows were all startled, and Wu Laosi said in a low voice: "Brother praises him so much, he must be pretty good, but...but I don't know..." Looking at Panda's hand stretched out in his embrace, he stopped talking. Panda laughed and said: "You are full of doubts in your heart at this moment, but it is inconvenient to ask, is it? But I might as well tell you, not only the silver ticket I stole from that person has been stolen by that boy, Even my own purse fell into the hands of that young man, so it's not a waste of money."

If it was someone else, how could he tell such a shameful thing in front of his brothers, but Panda said it, and he smiled happily when he said it. The big men looked at each other in blank dismay, silent. Panda laughed and said: "What are you waiting for to make such an appearance? It is a blessing to meet such a person. It is nothing to lose something, not to mention that it belongs to someone else." Wu Laosi said in a low voice: "But...but brother's purse..." Panda said: "That purse is nothing, unfortunately it's just a cat I carved with the treasured knife around my waist, but..."

His complexion changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "No, there is something else in the purse." The big guys didn't feel bad when they saw what he had lost, but when they thought of it, their faces changed, it was obvious that this thing must be extremely precious in his heart. Fourth Wu couldn't help but said, "What?" Panda was silent for a while, then smiled wryly: "Although I just picked up that thing from a ruined temple, but...but..." He looked up to the sky with a long sigh, and continued: "But it is a girl's personal thing."

Ai Ai, Wu Lao's fourth period, seemed to want to ask something, but he didn't dare to ask it out. Panda said: "You are waiting to ask me who that woman is? Is that so?" Wu Laosi couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know if that girl belongs to the elder brother... the elder brother's..." He still didn't dare to say this sentence, but the big men couldn't help laughing at the same time. Panda laughed loudly and said, "That's right, that girl is indeed the most touching and beautiful woman in my mind, but I don't know her exact name or where she came from."

Fourth Wu blinked his eyes and said, "Do you want me to inquire for my elder brother?" Panda'er smiled wryly and said: "No need... Alas, since I saw that woman that day, she seems to have disappeared suddenly. I have searched back and forth on the road several times, but I can't see her." Fang Zi paused in his voice, and was about to turn around and leave. All the big men blurted out and asked, "Where is Big Brother going?" Panda Er said: "At any rate, I want to get that purse back, and I want to make friends with that young man. If you have nothing to do, just wait here."

Before he finished speaking, the person had already walked out. Looking at his back, Mr. Wu murmured, "I have traveled all over the world for many years, but I have never seen such a bold and straightforward man as Brother Xiong. We are really lucky to be his little brother. This kind of person I was born to be the boss, and if he wants to find someone, I have to help him anyway." As he spoke, he also walked out. It is not yet dusk. Panda Er rushed to the main road with three feet and two steps.In order to find Shen Lang and Jin Wuwang on the road, he himself did not use his excellent lightness kung fu.

He left for a cup of tea, but saw a woman in Tsing Yi, hunched over, holding a woman in one hand and a donkey in the other, wandering towards her.The two women on the donkey and the one walking were so ugly that even the panda couldn't help but look at them twice. After two glances, he suddenly discovered that the woman in Tsing Yi was the woman who warmed up in the ruined temple when he met that charming young girl that day. He frowned, hesitated for a while, suddenly blocked the way of the three people and the donkey, opened his two big hands, and said with a smile: "Do you still recognize me?" The "woman" in Tsing Yi walked up and down, glanced at him a few times, and said with an apologetic smile: "How many taels of silver do you want to give?" Panda laughed and said, "You don't recognize me, but I recognize you. You were one person that day, but now there are three? Have you ever seen that girl before?" Beside the "woman" in Tsing Yi, Zhu Qiqi's desperate heart started beating again. She still recognized the rogue boy, she never thought that the rogue boy would come to her again, but when she heard the "woman" in Tsing Yi Said: "What one, three? What girl? I don't understand what you said, sir. If you want to give money, sir, you can give it. If you don't, I will leave." Panda stared at her and said: "Do you really not understand, or do you pretend to understand? Have you forgotten the girl who warmed up with you in the ruined temple that day? It's the big eyes and small mouth... " The "woman" in Tsing Yi seemed to remember suddenly, and said: "Oh! You are talking about the girl with hot eyes, oh! She is really beautiful, but... just that night, she followed me Grandpa, the Daoist you fought with has left, and I heard that she is going to the east, so you probably won't be able to find her, sir." Panda sighed in disappointment, unable to ask any more questions, Fang Zi turned around, and suddenly realized that the ugly woman next to the "woman" in Tsing Yi had a strange expression when she looked at him. He paused, frowned, feeling a little strange, but he didn't think about it carefully, but the "woman" in Tsing Yi was already leading the donkey away, nagging. Zhu Qiqi's heart sank again, and she never dared to hold any hope again. Panda shook the gourd, and the wine in the gourd was empty.He sighed a long time, feeling very depressed and melancholy, and he couldn't tell what it was like. Suddenly heard someone calling from behind: "Brother." It turned out that Wu Laosi had rushed over, he was still panting, and his appearance seemed a little mysterious.Panda Er felt a little strange and asked, "What's the matter?" Wu Lao Si pointed at the back of the "woman" in green, and said quietly: "Those two...two fat sheep showed their whiteness because they gave the woman a silver ticket." Panda said: "Oh..." Wu Lao Si said: "Little brother has sharp eyes, and I saw that the banknote they gave this woman was written in Chinese ink, which means that the banknote is at least five thousand taels or more." Panda's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Can you see clearly?" Wu Laosi said: "It's definitely not wrong." Panda's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he said: "If you are just giving alms to the poor on the road, you will definitely not sell a silver bill of more than five thousand taels. I think this woman must have a lot to do with those two people. Those two people Since she is a rare scholar, this woman must not be an ordinary person, but she still pretends to be like this, there must be something strange in it." He turned around suddenly, and chased after the "woman" in Tsing Yi. His footsteps approached, but the "woman" in Tsing Yi didn't seem to notice. Panda's eyes turned around, and suddenly he shot like the wind, grabbing the "woman" in Tsing Yi on the shoulder.His five fingers have concentrated their strength, as long as they are martial arts practitioners, if they hear the sound of his palm breaking the wind, they should know that if their shoulders are caught by him, their shoulder bones will be shattered immediately. The "woman" in Tsing Yi still didn't seem to notice it, but she staggered suddenly and fell forward, and just happened to dodge the catch in a split second. Panda laughed loudly and said, "It really is a good martial art." The "woman" in Tsing Yi turned her head and said blankly: "What good martial arts? I don't understand what you said, sir." Panda Er said: "Whether you understand or not, just let me go." The "woman" in Tsing Yi said: "Where...where are you going?" Panda laughed and said, "I see you are so poor, I can't bear it, and I want to give you alms." The "woman" in Tsing Yi said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but the old woman has to take her two nieces on the road..." Panda suddenly shouted: "If you don't go, you have to go." He jumped onto the donkey's back, and hit the donkey's butt with his backhand. The donkey couldn't bear the pain, so it let go of its four hooves and ran away.The "woman" in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, her expression changed drastically, and she cursed: "The scoundrel is back." Panda laughed loudly and said, "I am a rascal. If you use your tricks to deal with chivalrous disciples, others may still have nothing to do with you, but if you use it to deal with rascals, hehe, rascals will not accept your tricks." Although the donkey was thin and weak, it had run more than twenty feet while speaking. The "woman" in Tsing Yi stamped her feet and shouted loudly: "The robber... save me..." Panda Er Yaoyao shouted: "Yes, I am a robber, but robbers are not afraid of good people, good people are afraid of robbers, even if you shout your throat, no one will dare to rescue you." He goes farther, seeing and running out of sight. The "woman" in Tsing Yi couldn't bear it anymore, she gritted her teeth, hugged Bai Feifei by the waist, ignored the surprise of others, raised her breath and jumped forward to chase. "She"'s lightness kung fu and physical skills are really extraordinary and comparable, even though she is holding someone in her arms, she has jumped three or four times in succession, and she is already twenty feet away. Panda's legs clamped tightly on the donkey's back, one hand supported the "ugly girl" in front of him - Zhu Qiqi, and the other hand patted the donkey's buttocks, and laughed loudly: "What, I still forced you out of your kung fu." The "woman" in Tsing Yi said bitterly: "So what if you are forced out? Do you still want to live?" She jumped a few more times, and saw that she was about to catch up with the donkey. Unexpectedly, Panda suddenly picked up Zhu Qiqi, flew up from the donkey's back, and said with a big laugh, "I'll talk after you catch up." Suddenly, he swept over the ground and left the donkey behind, because he was convinced that what the woman in blue was going to chase was definitely not the donkey, but the "ugly girl" on the donkey. If it is a chivalrous disciple, it is really inconvenient to do this kind of thing, but Panda Er doesn't care, as long as the goal is right, as long as the goal can be achieved, he will dare to do anything. The "woman" in Tsing Yi never thought that this rascal boy would have such light kung fu that she would not be able to chase him, "she" was anxious and angry at the same time, and shouted: "Stop, we have something to say." Panda said: "What did you say?" The "woman" in Tsing Yi said: "What exactly do you want? Let go of my niece, it's easy to discuss." At this time, both of them were already close to the deserted temple. Panda laughed and said, "It's okay to stop, but you have to stop first, and I will stop naturally. Otherwise, even if you chase me for three days and three nights, you may not be able to catch me. You should know this yourself." The "woman" in Tsing Yi scolded angrily: "Little thief, scoundrel." But finally he had to stop and said, "What do you want? Tell me." Panda stopped five feet away from "her", and said with a smile, "I don't want anything, I just want to ask you a few words." The eyes of the "woman" in Tsing Yi flickered, she no longer had any kindness, and said in a hateful voice: "Quickly ask." Panda Er said: "Let me ask you first, who are those two people who gave you the bank notes?" The "woman" in Tsing Yi said: "How can I recognize a kind person who passes by and gives alms?" Panda laughed and said, "If you didn't recognize him, would he give you such a huge banknote?" The expression of the "woman" in Tsing Yi changed again, and she said sharply: "Okay! Let me tell you, those two people are thieves, I saw through the secret, so I sealed my mouth with money. As for the two of them at the moment Where did I go, but I really don’t know.” Panda giggled and said: "If those two are thieves, you must be their accomplice. How can a person like you bring two disabled women with him? There must be something strange in it." The "woman" in Tsing Yi said angrily: "This... you can't control this." Panda looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "My Panda loves to take care of things that have nothing to do with me. If I don't restrain you today, I'm sorry you won't tell the truth." There was a slight pause in the voice, and suddenly he shouted: "Brothers, come." After the shouting, more than ten big men rushed out of the deserted temple. Panda Er sent Zhu Qiqi over there, and said, "Hide this girl in a secret place, so that she can be taken care of..." Before the big fellows answered, the panda had already flew towards the "woman" in Tsing Yi, saying: "Do it." The "woman" in Tsing Yi said with a sinister smile, "Are you really going to die? Good." As soon as the word "good" came out, three palms had already been slapped in an instant. "She" obviously did not dare to underestimate this rascal boy anymore. Although Bai Feifei was still caught under her ribs, these three palms had already done her best. Panda's body is like a tiger, and he walks like a dragon. He flashed three moves and said with a smile, "I think you are a woman, so I will give you three more moves." The "woman" in Tsing Yi's expression was even more dignified, and she said sharply: "Your words are like the wind, don't go back on your word." Stepped forward with his left foot, turned his body halfway, slowly pushed out his right palm, and said sharply: "This is the first move." I saw "her" five fingers half-curved, the thumb clasping the index finger in the palm of the palm, like a fist but not a fist, like a palm not a palm, and the move was extremely slow, this move was halfway done, the opponent still couldn't figure out what exactly "her" was. Which direction to hit. Panda simply stood still, her eyes fixed on the palm of "her". Although her eyes were dignified, there was a nonchalant smile on her mouth. The "woman" in Tsing Yi reached the middle of the palm, and suddenly raised it, hitting the panda's left ear directly.The middle finger, ring finger, and little finger also pop out, and the castration is like lightning. Although the left ear is small, it is the place where the opponent would never expect "she" to attack. In other words, it is also one of the weakest defenses of the opponent. Panda was really surprised, he didn't have time to think about it in a hurry, he fell to the right, but the "woman" in Tsing Yi had already figured out that when he dodged this move, his lower body would not move, and the range of dodge would not be large, Panda As soon as the body fell down, "her" index finger has been quickly popped out, using the inner family's "snap finger supernatural power", and before the palm is reached, a ray of wind has already pierced Panda'er's ear point. The ear point is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. If it is poked by a paper roll on weekdays, it will cause unbearable pain, not to mention the ray of true energy that the "woman" in Tsing Yi is forcing out from her fingertips at this moment, although it seems invisible. , but in fact it is far sharper than tangible objects, as long as it is poured into the ear, the eardrum will immediately shatter. Panda really didn't expect "she" to use such a sinister and vicious move, if she wasn't a person with a heart as vicious as a snake, she would never have imagined such a move in her dreams. In his busy schedule, he shrank his head, shook his shoulders, leaned back, and stepped back a few feet, but the strong wind was coming so fast, even though he dodged quickly, his forehead was still swept by the strong wind, and his skin turned red immediately. Surprised and angry, Panda shouted: "Is this also considered a move?" As soon as he shouted, the "woman" in green clothes followed like a shadow, before he finished drinking, the second move of the "woman" in green clothes had already attacked his lower abdomen. This move is even more insidious, at this moment, Panda's body has not stood upright, new strength has not been generated, and old strength has been exhausted.The "woman" in Tsing Yi only thought that this second move could kill him. Unexpectedly, Panda's physical strength is abundant, but it is beyond anyone's imagination. The true strength in the body is as endless as mountains and flowing water. I saw him take a slight breath between his chest and abdomen, and then he backed up a few feet, heeled hard, turned over in the air, and returned to the face of the "woman" in Tsing Yi. The "woman" in Tsing Yi saw that not only was he able to avoid these two moves of her own, but also his movements were strange, coming and going like lightning, she couldn't help showing a look of panic in her eyes, she said sharply: "There is one more move, you can follow it." The palm of "her" was pushed out slowly again, and it seemed to be the same as the first move. Panda Er sneered and said, "I should have counted three tricks just now, but it doesn't matter if I let you do one more." This sentence is not short, but after he finished speaking, the palm gesture of the "woman" in Tsing Yi was only half of what Fang Zi used.Panda's body was as tall as a mountain, her eyes were as fixed as a tiger's, and she was about to strike back at the killer when she performed this move. But Wen Tsing Yi "woman" scolded lightly: "Yes." Her palm stopped moving, but her right foot suddenly kicked out. This move was unexpected, the panda dodges with all its strength, barely dodging it, suddenly dozens of gossamer hairs as thin as silver awns shot out from the sleeves of the "woman" in green clothes, only to hear There was a sudden sound of wind all over the sky, and the flickering silver light enveloped a radius of three zhang in front of Panda'er.This time, no matter how high the panda's own martial arts are, I'm afraid it will be difficult to dodge. The big fellows who were watching the battle just now saw Panda's repeated dangerous moves and broken dangerous moves. They were already surprised and delighted, and their faces were shocked. At this moment, they couldn't help but exclaimed. At this moment, the gourd in the panda's palm suddenly swung out, and the silver lights all over the sky were sucked by the gourd like a swarm of bees returning to their nest. The "woman" in Tsing Yi was shocked, and the exclamation of the big men turned into cheers. Panda stood still, and laughed wildly: "What a vicious hidden weapon, what a vicious method, fortunately I met me, Panda, who is the ancestor who specializes in breaking hidden weapons from all sects and sects in the world." The "woman" in Tsing Yi tremblingly said: "You... where did you get this gourd from?" Panda laughed loudly and said, "You don't care, just give me a trick." Amidst the laughter, the gourd in his hand was struck down like a thunderbolt. The "woman" in Tsing Yi retreated a few feet, but she didn't fight back. Panda laughed and said, "Why don't you fight, do it." The "woman" in Tsing Yi looked at him fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to meet you today...you gourd." After pausing her feet, she said, "That's fine." Then she turned around and fled. Panda'er smiled and said: "If you want to go, I'm afraid it hasn't been so easy." With a flash of cold light, the short knife left the waist, like a rainbow passing through the sky, blocking the way of the "woman" in Tsing Yi. The "woman" in Tsing Yi's eyes were completely red, and suddenly raised Bai Feifei under her side, and threw it out facing the light of the knife. Panda was startled, retracted the knife with her wrists down, and clamped Bai Feifei with both arms, but at this moment In a short while, the "woman" in Tsing Yi had fled several feet away, and she fled without a trace once she jumped again. Wu Lao Si was walking along the side of the road, when he suddenly saw the two "fat sheep" who had donated bank notes, under a tree, questioning a big man with his clothes open. I saw that the older man had a gloomy complexion and a strange description. At first glance, he looked like a dead body. When he saw it, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The younger one has a handsome expression and a smile on the corner of his mouth, making people see him like a spring breeze, and they can't help but want to get close to him. Wu Laosi's heart moved, and he thought: "Brother Xiong is looking for them, could it be that they are also looking for Brother Xiong? It's a coincidence, but it's a pity that they are not asking about our brothers." Immediately rushed over with big strides, and said with a smile: "Are you two looking for someone?" It was Shen Lang and Jin Wuwang who were asking questions under the tree. They looked Wu Laosi up and down, Shen Lang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Does my friend recognize the person I'm looking for?" Wu Lao Si said: "Tell me, who are you looking for?" Shen Lang held the jade cat in his palm and brought it in front of Wu Laosi, and said with a smile: "This is the person." Wu Laosi was secretly overjoyed, and was about to reach out to snatch the jade cat, but when he moved his hand, Shen Lang retracted his hand, Wu Laosi had to laugh a few times, and said: "You two want to find someone else, I'm afraid the younger one won't I recognize it, but is this person..." Shen Lang said happily: "Do you recognize him? Where is he?" Wu Laosi said: "You two come with me." Turn around and walk away. The days are short and the nights come early in winter. In the deserted temple, the fire burned even more vigorously, and five or six torches were added to the walls, making the deserted temple isolated in the snow and cold wind as warm as the wind. The panda was squatting on a futon in the corner, staring at the two "ugly" and "crippled" women beside the fire in a daze. He always felt that there was something strange about these two girls, although he hadn't discovered that these two girls had been disguised until now. Jiangzuo Situ's family's disguise technique is really ingenious. He only felt that these two women seemed to have a lot of things in their hearts, but they couldn't say them out, so they showed them in their eyes. The eyes were so anxious, so urgent, but also a little shy and a little happy. ——Zhu Qiqi never expected that fate would be so wonderful, that the one who rescued him from the clutches of his life was actually this rascal boy whom he hated to the bone.And Shen Lang... Well, Shen Lang has gone somewhere. The marvelous wine gourd was placed at the panda's lap, covered with needles as thin as a bull's awn, shining like rotten silver in the firelight. Panda's eyes shifted to the wine gourd, and with a piece of firewood, he picked up a sharp needle, looked carefully for a while, and suddenly his face changed slightly. At this moment, Wu Laosi rushed in and shouted: "Brother, younger brother brought you a guest." Panda frowned and said, "Who?" After he finished asking, he turned around and saw Jin Wuwang and Shen Lang. Jin Wuwang's face was still gloomy, and Shen Lang's face was still smiling. He offered the jade cat with both hands, and Panda took it with both hands. Neither of them spoke, but smiled slightly, and all the words were contained in this smile. So, Shen Lang took out the jade bi by himself again——Zhu Qiqi saw Shen Lang coming, his heart seemed to have stopped beating, but now seeing the jade wall, his cheeks couldn't help but blush. She already knew that the jade bi was lost when she took off her clothes to warm herself that day, but she no longer knew how it got into Shen Lang's hands. I saw Panda reaching out to pick up the jade bi, but Shen Lang didn't give it to him. Panda laughed and said, "This jade bi seems to be here too." Shen Lang smiled slightly: "Brother, can you see the two characters engraved on the bi?" Panda Er said: "Of course I can see that the word Shen Lang is engraved on it." Shen Lang said: "Brother, do you know what these two words mean?" Panda blinked, and said: "Naturally, the word Shen Lang is the name of a close girlfriend of mine in the past. In order to miss her, I engraved her name on the jade to show that I will never live. forget." Zhu Qiqi was angry and amused when he heard it, secretly said: "This young man is a rascal, in order to get this jade bi, he made up such a big lie, and he told the truth." Shen Lang couldn't help laughing, and said: "In this way, I will be Xiongtai's bosom girlfriend." Panda was stunned for a moment, and said, "What... what are you talking about?" Shen Lang said: "The word Shen Lang was originally my name." Panda stayed there, his face was a little red, but he laughed again and said: "Okay, okay, I can't steal from you, I can't lie to you, so let me convince you, okay? " Shen Lang felt that this person was rascally and funny, free and easy and cute. I saw the panda's laughter gradually stopped, and suddenly frowned and said: "But as far as I know, this jade wall is not yours, so why is your name engraved on it? Could it be... Could it be that girl, is it true?" your……" Shen Lang hurriedly stopped and said: "That's right, that girl is my friend, and I'm here just to look for her, but I hope you will let me know her whereabouts." Panda didn't answer, just stared blankly at Shen Lang, and murmured: "Since that girl has engraved your name on the jade bi that is close to her body, she must have a deep affection for you... Sigh, it's very good... Ugh." What kind of person Shen Lang is, as soon as he rolled his eyes, he could see that this young man must have a heart of admiration for Zhu Qiqi, which is why he looked so distraught at this moment. After thinking up to this point, he decided that this young man must know Zhu Qiqi's whereabouts, so he let out a soft "cough" and asked himself: "That girl..." Only then did Panda come back to his senses, forced a smile and said: "To tell you the truth, I only met that girl once, and I picked up this jade disc that time, and I have never seen it again since then." pass her." He sighed, and continued: "To tell you the truth, I have gone around to check her whereabouts these days, but she seems to have disappeared, and some people say that she has been taken away by Duan Hongzi." Shen Lang stared at him, knowing that what he said was true, so the biggest clue to find Zhu Qiqi was interrupted again. He lowered his head and sighed deeply, but Zhu Qiqi who was beside the fire was anxious to death. She really wanted to shout: "Idiots, you idiots, I am here, can't you see?" Bai Feifei beside her had a more serene gaze than hers - he had always been much more serene than her. Jin Wuwang's gaze was fixed on the wine gourd, very carefully.There seemed to be some astonishment in his eyes, and at this moment he suddenly asked: "Where did you come from this gourd?" A mysterious smile flickered on the corner of Panda'er's mouth, and instead of answering, he asked, "Do you know the origin of this gourd?" Jin Wuwang snorted and said, "If you don't know, then don't ask." Panda Er said: "Since you know its origin, you shouldn't ask." Jin Wuwang "hummed" again, but he didn't ask any more questions. Hearing the two of them asking and answering riddles, Shen Lang couldn't help turning his attention to the wine gourd, and after a few glances, there was a flash of light in his eyes. At this time, Jin Wuwang asked again: "Have you fought against a woman in Tsing Yi?" Panda still didn't answer, but asked again: "Do you know her?" Jin Wuwang said angrily: "Are you asking me, or am I asking you?" Panda laughed loudly and said, "I shouldn't have asked that. If you didn't know her, how could you ask me? That's right, I've fought her before." He stared intently at Jin Wuwang, and slowly continued, "Not only have I fought her, but I also know that she is the descendant of Situ Jiangzuo. The two...two girls beside the fire were the ones I snatched from her. Here, the gourd is stained with Jiangzuo Situ's unique hidden weapon, the toxicity is second only to the 'Misty Rain and Heartbroken Silk' of 'Tianyun Wuhuamian'." Jin Wuwang's complexion changed slightly, he walked to the side of the fire, and looked down. Bai Feifei didn't dare to look at his face, but Zhu Qiqi also stared back at him. Panda Er said: "Jiangzuo Situ, apart from hidden weapon kung fu, the magic of disguise has been known in the world for a long time, but I can't see that the two of them have been disguised..." Jin Wuwang said coldly: "If you see it, it will be bad." Shen Lang's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Brother, since you have this hidden weapon that can break through all sects and sects in the world, and it is made of magnets from the East China Sea. I don't know if you can show the true colors of these two girls, let me wait and see." Panda laughed and said: "So you also know the origin of 'the universe in one bag', but unfortunately I don't have the skillful hands that my brother said. Even if these two girls are immortals, we have no chance to see their true colors in Lushan Mountain. .” Wu Lao Si couldn't help but interjected: "The art of disguise is not easy to understand? Let's wait for the younger brother to wash her with water. If it can't be washed off, at most use a knife to scrape it, that's it." Panda laughed and said: "Based on what you said, Jiangzuo Situ's disguise is just like the costume of an actor on the stage. Situ's disguise is famous all over the world, how can you say it is so worthless, you use it If the knife scrapes randomly, if their original appearance is scratched, who will take the responsibility?" Wu Lao Si smiled blushingly and dared not speak any more. But Zhu Qiqi was both anxious and annoyed when he heard it. She couldn't wait to shout loudly: "You guys use knives to scrape, it doesn't matter if you scratch my face..." Jin Wuwang stared into her eyes, and slowly said, "Not only has this woman been changed, but she was also forced to take Situ Bian's drug of paralysis. I can see that she has a lot to say in her heart, but she can't say it." Come out..." Panda suddenly found a broken basin, filled it with ashes from the fire, brought it to Zhu Qiqi, found a piece of firewood, and stuffed it in her hand. Zhu Qiqi's eyes immediately shone with joy. The panda said: "You can hear what we are talking about. What do you want to say at the moment, you can write it on the ashes with this stick of firewood..." Zhu Qiqi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, she already trembled her palms - her crisis was about to end, so one can imagine the excitement in her heart at this moment. Unexpectedly, she didn't even have the ability to write. She wanted to write her own name first, but she didn't know that the fine wood was scratched on the ashes, but the drawing was a mess, and no one could recognize her handwriting. In the end, she couldn't even hold the thin stick, and fell on the ashes.Zhu Qiqi was anxious and annoyed, wishing to cut off his own hand with a single knife. She wanted to tear off her own face, but she had no strength.She wanted to bite off her tongue, but couldn't.She wanted to go crazy, but it was impossible to even go crazy. She couldn't even cry aloud, she just let the tears run down her cheeks. Shen Lang, Jin Wuwang, and Panda Er looked at each other, and they couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Even the big man who looked around didn't feel sad and pity in his heart. Panda sighed: "Let me try another..." Although Bai Feifei's guttural voice has become hoarse, her body is not limp, because she is a soft girl, so she doesn't need to take medicine for paralysis. The panda brought the ashes basin to her, and she slowly wrote: "I am Bai Feifei, a poor orphan girl, but I don't know why that wicked woman tied me up and tortured me into such a state. " Panda blinked her eyes, and suddenly asked: "Are you a beautiful woman?" Bai Feifei's eyes showed shyness, he held the brush, but couldn't write. Panda laughed and said: "From this point of view, it must be. The girl who died in the same accident as you was born extremely beautiful? What's her name?" Bai Feifei wrote: "I don't recognize her, nor have I seen her original appearance." Panda'er pondered: "So, she died before you?" Bai Feifei wrote again: "Yes, I pity her very much, but I..." She didn't write any more, and others already knew what she meant.There were tears in her eyes, and she couldn't help but shed tears. Panda'er looked back and said: "Now I know that that vicious woman must have wanted to abduct the beautiful women and send them to a certain place, but she was afraid that the road would be inconvenient, so she made them look like this." Shen Lang sighed and nodded, secretly said: "This young man is not only fast in his hands and feet, but also fast in his mind." Panda Er said: "The two of them used to be stunning beauties, we can't keep them like this forever, at least we have to find a way to bring them back to their original appearance." Jin Wuwang kept silent. Shen Lang sighed: "What can we do? Unless we find that Situ disciple..." Panda Er pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "I have a friend in Luoyang City. Although he is young, he is both civil and military. He knows all kinds of strange tricks, and he is good at all of them, let's go to him, he must have a way." Shen Lang said with a smile: "Such a character, I really want to meet him, anyway, I'm going to Luoyang City to visit, but... I don't know if Xiongtai has friendship with him?" Panda said: "This man is not only a drunkard, but also a pervert. He has the same smell as me. If you and I go to find him, he will have to spend a lot of money." Zhu Qiqi was in so much grief that she didn't hear what they said at all, she just felt that she was being carried into the car again, and she didn't know where these people were going to send her. There was also a boy in the car. She recognized him, but he didn't recognize her anymore. He avoided her from afar and refused to sit beside her again. Panda covered the convertible with a piece of cloth, and set off to Luoyang. The chariots and horses traveled all night, and it was early morning when they arrived in Luoyang. They waited for a cup of tea for a long time before the city gate opened and Jin Wuwang rode his horse into the city. Shen Lang said: "It's so early in the morning, how can you harass others?" Panda laughed and said, "I still have a friend in Luoyang City. The door of his house is always open all year round. No matter who, no matter when they go, they will never try to close the door." Shen Lang smiled and said: "This gentleman is quite like Meng Chang." Panda Er clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "This man's surname is Ouyang again, and his single name is Xi. The happiest thing in his life is that others compare him to Mengchang. If he hears what you say, he will really fall to the ground laughing." Jin Wuwang said coldly: "It seems that you have quite a few friends." 熊猫儿也不理他,抢过鞭子,打马而行,凌晨之时,长街寂寂,熊猫儿空街驰马,意气飞扬。 突闻一条横街之中,人声喧哗,花香飘散。 熊猫儿扬起丝鞭,指点着笑道:“这便是名闻天下的洛阳花市了,远白千里外赶来此地买花的人,却有不少,尤其洛阳之牡丹,更是冠绝天下。” 沈浪笑道:“我也久闻洛阳花市之名,今日既来此间,本也该买些鲜花才是,怎奈……纵有买花意,却无戴花人,还是留诸来日吧。” 两人相顾大笑,车厢里的朱七七却听得更是欲醉。 她此刻若能坐在沈浪身旁,让沈浪下车买花,亲手在她鬓边缀上一朵娇艳的牡丹,便是立刻叫她去死,她也心甘情愿了。 而此刻她明知穿过花市,便是囚禁方千里、铁化鹤等人的密窟,她腹中空有满腹机密,却说不出口来,那鬓边簪花的痴事,自更不过是遥远的梦境罢了。车行颠簸,她泪珠又不禁滚下面颊。 这时忽然有两辆白马香车,斜地驶来,驶入花市。 车厢外铜灯崭亮,车厢里燕语莺声,不时有簪花佩玉的丽人,自车帷间向外偷偷窥望,眼波横飞,巧笑迎人。 风卷车幔,朱七七不经意地自车后瞥了一眼,心头不觉又是一跳,这香车白马,赫然正是那日载运铁化鹤等人入城的魔车。 只听熊猫儿纵声笑道:“只望见绣车雕鞍佳人美,却不知香车系在谁家门?看来我也只得空将此情付流水了。” 沈浪笑道:“兄台如此轻薄,不嫌唐突佳人?” 熊猫儿道:“此花虽好,怎奈生在路边墙头,你若是肯轻千金买一笑,我就可攀折鲜花送君手,吾兄岂有意乎?” 沈浪拊掌道:“原来你还是识途老马。” 熊猫儿大笑道:“今日的江湖侠少年,本是昔日的章台走马客,你岂不知肯舍千金买一笑,方是江湖奇男子。” 两人又自相顾大笑,朱七七又不禁吃了一惊。 囚禁了许多英雄豪杰的神秘魔窟,难道竟会是王孙买笑的金粉楼台? 那些个身怀绝技的白云牧女,难道竟会是投怀送抱的路柳墙花? 这实是她再也难以相信的事。 马车终于到了那终年不闭的大门前,欧阳喜见了熊猫儿果然喜不自胜,当下摆开酒筵,为他洗尘。 熊猫儿匆匆为沈浪、金无望引见过了,便自顾饮啖。 欧阳喜笑道:“你这只猫儿,近日已越来越野,终年也难见你。今日里闯到我家来,除了贪嘴外,莫非还有什么别的事?” 熊猫儿笑骂道:“你只当我是来寻你这冒牌孟尝的么?嘿嘿,就凭你这点肥肉酸酒,还休想将我这只野猫引来。” 欧阳喜道:“你去寻别人,不被赶出才怪。” 熊猫儿放下杯筷,道:“说正经的,我今日实是为一要事,寻访王怜花而来,却不知他近日可在洛阳城中?” 欧阳喜笑道:“算你走运,他恰巧未离洛阳。” 语声微顿,突又笑道:“说起他来,倒有个笑话。” 熊猫儿道:“王怜花笑话总是不少,但且说来听听。” 欧阳喜道:“日前冷二先生来这里做买卖时,突然闯出位富家美女,我们的王公子想必又要施展他那套攀花手段了,却不知……” 他故意顿住语声,熊猫儿果忍不住问道:“却不知怎样了?” 欧阳喜哈哈笑道:“那位姑娘见着他,却仿佛见了鬼似的,头也不回地跑了。这只怕是他一生中从未遇着的事,却便宜了贾剥皮,他本卖了个丫鬟给这位姑娘,她这么一走,贾剥皮竟乘乱又将那少女偷偷带走了。” 熊猫儿也不禁放怀大笑,正想问他那位姑娘是谁。 沈浪却已先问道:“不知那冷二先生,可是与仁义庄有些关系?” 欧阳喜叹道:“正是,这冷二先生,为了仁义庄,可算仁至义尽,江湖中都知道冷二先生做买卖的手段天下无双,一年中不知要赚进多少银子,但冷二先生却将银子全送进仁义庄,自己省吃俭用,连衣裳都舍不得买一件,终年一袭蓝衫,不认得他的,却要当他是个穷酸秀才。” 沈浪慨然道:“不想冷氏三兄弟,竟俱是人杰……” 话犹未了,突听一阵清朗的笑声自院中传来。 一个少年的话声道:“欧阳兄,你家的家丁好厉害,我还在高卧未醒,他却说有只猫闯来,定要我来赶猫,却不知我纵能降龙伏虎,但见了这只猫也是头疼的。”一个狐裘华服的美少年,随着笑声,推门而入。 熊猫儿大喝一声,凌空一个翻身,越过桌子,掠到这少年面前,一把抓住他衣襟,笑骂道:“一个自吹自擂的小泼皮,你除了拈花惹草外,还会什么?竟敢夸自己有降龙伏虎的本领,也不怕风大闪了你的舌头。” 那少年笑道:“不好,这只猫儿果然越来越野了。” 熊猫儿大声道:“近日来你又勾引了多少个女子?快快从实招来。” 那少年还待取笑,一眼瞧见了金无望与沈浪,目光立被吸引,大步迎了上去,含笑抱拳道:“这两位兄台一位如古柏苍松,一位如临风玉树,欧阳兄怎的还不快快为小弟引见引见。” 欧阳喜嘻笑之间,竟忘了沈浪的名字,金无望的名字,他更是根本就不知道,只得含糊道:“这位金大侠,这位沈相公,这位便是王怜花王公子,三位俱是人中龙凤,日后可得多亲近亲近。” 金无望冷冷“哼”一声,沈浪含笑还揖。 于是众人各自落座,自又有一番欢笑。 欧阳喜道:“王兄,这只野猫,今日本是来寻你的,却不肯说出是为了何事,你此刻快些问问他吧。” 王怜花笑道:“野猫来寻,终无好事,难怪这几日我窗外鸦喧雀噪,果然是闭门家中坐,祸从天上来了。” 熊猫儿笑道:“这次你却错了,此番我来,既不要银子,也不要酒,只是将两个绝色佳人,送来给你瞧瞧。” 沈浪暗笑忖道:“这猫儿看来虽无心机,却不想他要人做事时,也会先用些手段,打动人心,再教人自来上钩。” 王怜花大笑道:“你找我会有如此好事,杀了我也难相信。那两位绝色佳人,还是留给你自己瞧吧,小弟惟恐敬谢不敏了。” 熊猫儿笑骂道:“好个小人,岂能以你之心,度我之腹!此番我既已将佳人送来,你不瞧也要瞧的,只是——”他眨了眨眼睛,顿住语声。 王怜花笑道:“我知道你眼睛一眨,就有花样,如今花样果然来了,反正我已上了你的钩,你这'只是'后有些什么文章,还是快些作出来吧,也省得大家着急。” 沈浪、欧阳喜俱不禁为之失笑,熊猫儿道:“只是你想瞧瞧这两位佳人,还得要有些手段。” 王怜花道:“要有什么手段,才能瞧得?” 熊猫儿道:“你且说说你除了舞刀弄枪,舞文弄墨,吹吹唱唱,看天算卦,和医人肚子痛这些花样外,还会些什么?” 王怜花道:“这些还不够么?” 熊猫儿道:“非但不够,还差得远。” 王怜花摇头笑道:“好个无赖,只可惜我不知你爹爹生得是何模样,否则我也可变作他老人家,来教训教训你这不肖之子。” 熊猫儿猛的一拍桌子,大声道:“这就是了。” 王怜花、欧阳喜都被他骇了一跳,同时脱口道:“是什么?” 熊猫儿道:“你还会易容之术,是么?……嘿嘿,莫摇头,你既已说漏了嘴,想补可也补不回来了。” 王怜花苦笑道:“却又怎样?” 熊猫儿道:“那两位绝色佳人,如今被人以易容术掩住了本来的绝色,你若能令她们恢复昔日颜色,我才真算服了你。” 王怜花目光一闪,道:“那两位姑娘是谁?” 熊猫儿道:“这……这我也不清楚,我只知她们姓白。” 王怜花目中光芒立刻隐没,似是在暗中松了口气,喃喃道:“原来姓白……” 突然一笑,接道:“老实说,易容之术,我也只是仅知皮毛,要我改扮他人,我虽不行,但要我洗去别人易容,我还可试试。” 熊猫儿大喜道:“这就够了,快随我来。” 朱七七与白飞飞已被安置在一间静室之中,熊猫儿拉着王怜花大步而入,沈浪等人在后相随。 朱七七一眼瞧见王怜花,心房又几乎停止跳动,全身肌肤都发麻了,她委实做梦也未想到熊猫儿拉来的竟是这可怕的恶魔。 那时她落在青衣“妇人”手中时,她虽然已觉这人并不如青衣“妇人”可怕,但此刻她方自逃脱青衣“妇人”的魔掌,又见着此人,此人的种种可怕之处,她一刹那便又都想了起来。 她只有凝注着沈浪,她只有在瞧着沈浪时,心头的惧怕,才会减少一些,只恨沈浪竟不瞧她。 熊猫儿道:“你快仔细瞧瞧,她们脸上的玩意儿你可洗得掉?” 王怜花果然俯下头去,仔细端详她们的面目。 朱七七又是惊恐,又是感慨,又是欢喜,只因她深信这王怜花必定有令她完全恢复原貌的本事。 但她却实也未想到造化的安排,竟是如此奇妙,竟要他来解救于她。她暗中咬牙,暗中忖道:“苍天呀苍天,多谢你的安排,你的安排确是太好了,只要他一令我回复声音,我第一件事便是揭破他的秘密,那时他心里却不知是何滋味?”想到这里,连日来她第一次有些开心起来。 她生怕王怜花发现她目光中所流露的惊怖、欢喜、感慨,这些强烈而复杂的情感,赶紧悄悄闭起了眼睛。 王怜花在她两人面前仔细端详了足有两盏茶时分,动也未动,熊猫儿等人自也是屏息静气,静静旁观。 只见王怜花终于站起身子,长长叹了口气,道:“好手段……好手段……” 熊猫儿着急问道:“怎样了?你可救得了么?” 王怜花先不作答,却道:“瞧这易容的手段,竟似乎是昔年江左司徒家不传秘技……” 熊猫儿大喜,击节道:“果然不错,你果然有些门道……你既能看得出这易容之术的由来,想必是定能破解的了。” 王怜花道:“我虽可一试,但……” 他长长叹息一声,接道:“为这两位姑娘易容之人,实已将易容之术发挥至巅峰,他将这两张脸,做得实已毫无瑕疵,毫无破绽……” 熊猫儿忍不住截口道:“如此又怎样?” 王怜花道:“在你们看来,此刻她们这两张脸,固是丑陋不堪,但在我眼中看来,这两张脸却是极端精美之作品,正如画家所画之精品一般,实乃艺术与心血之结晶,我实不忍心下手去破坏于它。” 熊猫儿不觉听得怔住了,怔了半晌,方自笑骂道:“狗屁狗屁,连篇狗屁。” 王怜花摇头叹息道:“你这样的俗人,原不懂得如此雅事。” 熊猫儿一把拉住了他,道:“这是雅事也好,狗屁也好,我全都不管,我只要你恢复这两位姑娘原来的颜色,你且说肯不肯吧。” 王怜花苦笑道:“遇着你这只野猫,看来我也只得做做这焚琴煮鹤,大煞风景的事了,但你也得先松开手才是。” 熊猫儿一笑松手,道:“还有,她两人此刻已被迷药治得又瘫又哑,你既然自道医道高明,想必是也能解救的了。” 王怜花沉吟道:“这……我也可试试,但我既如此卖力,你等可也不能闲着,若是我要你等出手相助,你等也万万不能推诿。” 说这话时,他目光有意无意,瞧了沈浪一眼。 沈浪笑道:“小弟若有能尽力之处,但请兄台吩咐就是。” 王怜花展颜而笑,道:“好,一言为定。” 他目光当即落在欧阳喜身上。 欧阳喜失笑道:“这厮已在算计我了……唉,反正是福不是祸,是祸逃不过,我的王大公子,你要什么?说吧。” 王怜花笑道:“好,你听着……上好黑醋四坛,上好陈年绍酒四坛,精盐十斤,上好细麻纱布四疋……” 欧阳喜道:“你!你究竟是想当醋坛子,还是想开杂货铺。” 王怜花也不理他,接道:“全新铜盆两只,要特大号的,全新剪刀两把,小刀两柄,炭炉四只,铜壶四只,也都要特大号的,火力最旺之煤炭两百斤……还有,快叫你家的仆妇,在半个时辰内,以上好干净的白麻布,为我与这位沈相公剪裁两件长袍,手工不必精致,但却必须绝对干净才可。” 众人听他竟零零碎碎的要了这些东西,都不禁目定口呆。 熊猫儿笑道:“听你要这些东西,既似要开杂货铺,又似要当收生婆,还似要作专卖人肉包子的黑店东,将两位姑娘煮来吃了。” 欧阳喜笑道:“却坑苦了我,要我在这半个时辰里为他准备这些乱七八糟的东西,岂非要了我的命了……” 他口中虽在诉苦,面上却满是笑容,只因王怜花既然要了这些令人惊奇之物,想必自然有令人惊奇的身手。 而这“易容之术”,虽然尽人皆知,但却大多不过是自传闻中听来而已,欧阳喜虽是老江湖了,但也直到今日,才能亲眼瞧见这“易容术”中的奇妙之处,当下匆匆走出,为王怜花准备去了。 不出半个时辰,欧阳喜果然将应用之物,全部送来,炉火亦已燃起,铜壶中也满注清水已煮得将要沸腾。 王怜花取起一件白布长袍,送到沈浪面前,笑道:“便相烦沈兄穿起这件长袍,为小弟作个助手如何?” 沈浪道:“自当从命……” 熊猫儿忍不住道:“我呢?你要我作什么?” 王怜花笑道:“我要你快快出去,在外面乖乖的等着。” 熊猫儿怔了一怔,道:“出去?咱们不能瞧瞧么?” 欧阳喜笑道:“他既要你出去,你还是出去吧,咱们……” 王怜花道:“你也得出去。” 欧喜阳也怔住了,道:“连……连我也瞧不得?” 王怜花正色道:“小弟施术之时必须澄心静志,不能被任何人打扰,只因小弟只要出手稍有不慎,万一在两位姑娘身上留下些什么缺陷,那时纵是神仙,只怕也无术回天了,是以不但你两人必须退出,就连这位金大侠,也请暂时回避的好。” 欧阳喜与熊猫儿面面相觑,满面俱是失望之色。 金无望却已冷哼一声,转身退出。欧阳喜与熊猫儿知道再拖也是拖不过的,也只得叹着气走了。 王怜花将门户紧紧掩起,又将四面帘幔俱都放下,帘幔重重,密室中光线立时黯了下来,四下角落里,似乎突然漫出了一种神秘之意。而那闪动的炉火,使这神秘之意更加浓重。 沈浪静静地站着,静静地望着他。火炉上水已渐渐沸腾,蒸气涌出,发出了一阵阵“丝丝”的声响。 王怜花突然回身,凝注沈浪,道:“小弟请他们暂时回避,为的自是不愿将'易容术'之秘密,泄漏出去,此点沈兄想必知道。” 沈浪笑道:“不错。” 王怜花沉声道:“欧阳喜与熊猫儿俱是小弟多年好友,而兄台与小弟,今日却是初次相识,小弟不愿泄秘于他两人,却有劳兄台相助,这其中自有缘故,以兄台之过人智慧,此刻必定已在暗中奇怪。” 沈浪微微一笑,道:“在下正想请教。” 王怜花笑道:“这只因小弟与兄台虽是初交,但兄台之照人神采,却是小弟平生所未曾见过的,委实足以令小弟倾倒。” 沈浪笑道:“多承夸奖,其实在下平生阅人虽多,若论慷慨豪迈,洒脱不羁,虽数熊兄,但若论巧心慧智,文采风流,普天之下,当真无一人能及兄台。” 他语声微顿,目光闪动,突又接道:“除此之外,兄台想必另有缘故,否则也不……” 王怜花不等他话说完,便已截口笑道:“不错,小弟确是另有缘故,是以才对兄台特别亲近。” 沈浪道:“这缘故想必有趣得很。” 王怜花笑道:“确是有趣得很。” 沈浪道:“既是如此有趣,不知兄台可愿说来听听?” 王怜花先不作答,沉吟半晌,却接道:“方才欧阳喜为小弟引见兄台时,并未说及兄台的大号,是么?” 沈浪笑道:“欧阳兄想必是根本未曾听清小弟的名姓,或是听过后便已忘了,这本是应酬场中极为常见之事。” 王怜花道:“但兄台的姓名,小弟却可猜出来的。” 沈浪笑道:“兄台有这样的本事?” 王怜花微微一笑,道:“兄台大名可是沈浪?” 沈浪面上终于露出了惊奇之色,道:“不错,你果然猜对了,……你怎会猜出小弟的姓名,莫非是……早已有人在兄台面前提起过小弟了么?” 两人
