Chapter 11 Eleventh round of special liking

Young Master Shendao said: "But I didn't peek. I just walked into the yard when Lin Daiyu kicked open the door and rushed out with a sword in his hand." Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "Miss Lin is also strange. She is just about to kill someone when she is well. Could it be that Mr. Yu took care of her illness wrongly?" Master Shendao sneered and said: "In my opinion, this Yu Peiyu must have taken advantage of someone else's illness, so that's why Lin Daiyu rushed out and shouted: 'Yu Peiyu, today either you die or I die. Death, you come out!' Until then, I didn't know that the kid was also called Yu Peiyu."

Yinhua Niang glanced at Jin Yanzi, and said with a smile: "In this way, Lin Daiyu really seems to have suffered from Yu Peiyu, so she hates to fight him desperately, but elder sister, tell me, Mr. Yu will be Is this kind of person?" Jin Yanzi naturally knew the reason why Lin Daiyu wanted to kill Yu Peiyu, but how could she tell others, thinking of all the things that happened in the Palace of Ecstasy, she felt sour and bitter in her heart, and she didn't know what it was like, but she said coldly: "Why can't you Just listen to him quietly." Yinhua Niang stuck out her tongue quietly, and Master Shendao continued: "Then Yu Peiyu must have felt ashamed, so she hid in the room and dared not come out. Lin Daiyu stomped her feet and scolded for a long time, then rushed in again."

Jin Yanzi couldn't help but said, "Yu Peiyu hasn't left yet?" Mr. Shendao said: "Yu Peiyu seemed to be stunned and sat on the chair blankly. At this time, everyone in the inn was alarmed and came to watch the excitement. Some people thought it was a husband and wife quarreling and wanted to persuade them, but people Before I walked over, I was kicked out by Lin Daiyu, and I was so frightened that no one dared to go over again." Yinhua Niang laughed and said, "This Miss Lin is really fierce." Master Shendao said: "She rushed into the room and scolded Yu Peiyu. She almost scolded Yu Peiyu as the most shameless person in the world, but Yu Peiyu still sat there dumbfounded and didn't reply."

Yinhua Niang said: "As the saying goes: If you can't slap a slap, if someone doesn't retaliate, no matter how fierce that Miss Lin is, I'm afraid she will have to forget it." Master Shendao said: "I thought so too, but Lin Daiyu seemed to be completely crazy, suddenly raised her hand and stabbed at Yu Peiyu with a sword." Hearing this, Jin Yanzi finally couldn't help but exclaimed, "Did he not fight back?" Master Shendao glared at her, and said slowly: "Not only did he not fight back, he didn't even dodge. Lin Daiyu stabbed him with a sword, and he didn't even move."

Jin Yanzi said: "Did he hurt the vitals?" Master Shendao said coldly: "Lin Daiyu doesn't seem to want to kill him with one sword, so this sword only pierced his shoulder, and the second sword only cut a bloody hole in his chest..." Jin Yanzi lost her voice and said, "She just has the heart to stab again?" Master Shendao sneered and said, "It's just two swords, she scolded and shed tears, but the sword in her hand didn't stop." Jin Yanzi also had tears in her eyes, and said: "Is there no one to hold her back?" Master Shendao said: "Others have just experienced her hands and feet, who dares to go and pull her."

Jin Yanzi stomped her feet and said, "What about you? Why don't you go and hold her? Are you also afraid of her martial arts?" Young Master Shendao lowered his head, and said: "I wanted to grab her, but when I heard that person was also called Yu Peiyu... I don't know why, but when I heard Yu Peiyu's name, I got angry." Jin Yanzi tremblingly said: "Then you... are you just watching him being killed in front of you?" Master Shendao stared at her, and said coldly: "You also recognize him? Why do you care so much about him?" Jin Yanzi said loudly: "So what if I know him? So what if I care about him? What does this have to do with you?"

Young Master Shendao's eyes seemed to be on fire, he held up the wine glass, but one hand kept shaking, until the wine in the glass spilled all over his body. Yinhua Niang smiled and said: "But was Yu Peiyu really killed by Lin Daiyu?" Master Shendao still stared at Jin Yanzi, and suddenly sneered, "Could it be fake." Jin Yanzi suddenly stood up and hissed, "You...you actually..." Young Master Shendao also stood up and shouted: "Then Yu Peiyu didn't even fight back himself, obviously he was willing to die under Lin Daiyu's hands. Since he himself is willing, why should I meddle in his business?"

Jin Yanzi stared at him absent-mindedly, stepped back step by step, and retreated to the door. Tears finally flowed from her eyes, she turned around suddenly, covered her face and ran out. Yinhua Niang was also stunned for a long time, Fang Zi giggled and said: "Yu Peiyu finally died, and she died at the hands of a woman... If the third child hears the news, he must look very pretty." Turning his eyes around, he saw Master Swordsman standing there like a stone statue, his face was green and white, and suddenly there was a sound of "wave", the wine glass was crushed by him.

Jin Yanzi ran back to the house, fell on the bed, covered her head with a quilt, and then burst into tears, she never imagined that she would be so sad. I don't know how long I cried, but I felt a hand caressing her shoulder, Jin Yanzi lifted the quilt, and saw Yinhua Niang sitting by the bed, and said softly: "Death can't be resurrected, why do you bother, elder sister?" sad." When Jin Yanzi saw her, it was like seeing the closest person in the world. She threw herself into her arms, cried for a while, and then sobbed, "I don't know why I am so sad. Actually, I get along with him. Just for one day, I don't even know what he looks like."

Yinhua Niang said in surprise: "One day? Only one day?" Jin Yanzi said: "Although there is only one day, what happened in this day is enough for me to remember for a lifetime." Yinhua Niang's eyes flickered, and she said slowly: "He treats you very well?" Jin Yanzi said: "Yes." Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "But that Master Swordsman is also very kind to you!" Jin Yanzi said: "That's different. Although he is kind to me, he just wants to possess me, while Mr. Yu...Young Master Yu, he only thinks about me, even at the expense of himself."

Yinhua Niang said coldly: "I don't think he is such a good person..." Jin Yanzi raised her head and said in a trembling voice: "You know, he could have gotten me. I...I was willing to give everything to him, but he...he refused to hurt me..." Yinhua Niang trembled and said loudly: "He rejected you, maybe it's just because he looked down on you." Jin Yanzi said: "No, you don't know..." Yinhua Niang sneered and said: "Why didn't I know, I already knew that he is a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, you should hate him, why are you sad for him instead." Jin Yanzi sighed: "I hated him a little bit at first, but now... now I understand his intentions, he is afraid that I will sacrifice my life's happiness for him, so he would rather let me hate him than hurt me, no For anything else, just for this, I... I will never forget him for the rest of my life." Yinhua Niang also seemed to be stunned, but immediately sneered and said: "If I am rejected by others, I will hate him for the rest of my life." Suddenly, with a sound of "Yeah", the door was pushed open again, and Master Shendao stood at the door blankly, his face as pale as a dead man. Jin Yanzi said angrily: "Who wants you to come in, get out, get out quickly." Master Shendao stood there blankly, and suddenly sighed: "Don't be sad, then Yu Peiyu is not dead." Jin Yanzi was startled, and said: "Then why did you just..." Master Shendao lowered his head and said, "I was just trying to annoy you on purpose, but now, seeing you are so sad now, I...I can't bear to hide it anymore." Jin Yanzi stared at him blankly, but was speechless for a while. Master Shendao said: "If there is no one to save him, Lin Daiyu might really kill him, but at that moment, someone suddenly flew in and stopped Lin Daiyu." Jin Yanzi couldn't help asking: "Who?" Master Shendao said: "Red lotus." Jin Yanzi lost her voice: "This Yu Peiyu actually recognizes the leader of Honglian?" Young Master Shendao said: "Although Honglianhua rescued him, she didn't recognize him, and she seemed to have a bad feeling for him, but she felt that his crime was not worthy of death, so she stopped Lin Daiyu." Jin Yanzi said: "How would you know?" Master Shendao said: "At that time, Yu Peiyu was covered in blood, anyone could see that he was seriously injured, but Hong Lianhua never looked at him, and instead comforted Lin Daiyu in every possible way, as if it was not Yu Peiyu who was injured, but It was Lin Daiyu, and Yu Peiyu just stared at them blankly without saying a word." Jin Yanzi said: "And then?" Master Shendao said: "Then Red Lotus dragged Lin Daiyu away, just imagine if he is friends with this Yu Peiyu, or if he has no ill feelings towards him, at least he has to take a look at his injuries." When Yinhua heard this, she sighed, and said: "Since that's the case, why did you save him? This red lotus is indeed a well-known nosy...but he arrived early and late, but he was here When we arrived, could it be that he has been following them in secret? Could it be that he has also been secretly watching their movements?" Master Shendao said: "Actually, Red Lotus is not the only one who has been following them secretly." Yinhua Niang widened her eyes and said, "Who else?" Master Shendao said: "Just as Hong Lianhua and Lin Daiyu left, another woman rushed in, looked at Yu Peiyu with a smile, and said, "I knew someone else would save you, so I didn't do anything..." Imagine her If you hadn't followed them all the time, how could you talk like this." Yinhua Niang sneered and said: "It seems that there are quite a few women who are good friends with Yu Peiyu. One accompanied him into the inn, and another one was waiting secretly to rescue him." Master Shendao said: "But when Yu Peiyu saw this woman, she seemed to be seeing a ghost, and she didn't care if the wound was still bleeding, she jumped up and ran. His lightness kung fu is really not weak. Can catch up with him." Yinhua Niang frowned and said, "Who is this woman? What does she look like?" Master Shendao said: "This woman is dressed in white, she seems to be a beautiful woman, and she can be regarded as a master in martial arts, but I don't know such a person in the Jianghu, maybe she is a newcomer." His face was pale and his expression was dull. When someone asked him a question, he would just say it. At this point, he stared at Jin Yanzi again, and said slowly: "Now I have told everything I have seen. Although there must be twists and turns in it, I don't know anymore, and I don't know where Yu Peiyu went after that." His voice gradually became agitated, and he continued: "But if I see him in the future, I will definitely ask him to come to you. Since I already know your intentions, no matter what you do to me, I... I will not let you down. " Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and walked out. He has been entangled with Jin Yanzi for a long time, and this time, he walked very beautifully. Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "Although this person is sometimes annoying, I don't want his bones to be too hard." Jin Yanzi was silent for a while, then sighed leisurely: "He didn't feel sorry for me, but I am very sorry for him." Yinhua Niang said: "I only listened to what Eldest Sister said, but I didn't expect that he was also listening at the door. If he hadn't heard what Eldest Sister said, he would never have left." Jin Yanzi sighed: "He has been pestering me because he always thought that although I was cold to him, I was even colder to others. Now that I have someone else in my heart, he died of this heart, and I also lost it." It's a matter of heart." Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "But elder sister, why do you let him die? If you let him never give up, follow us forever, tell him to go east, he will not dare to go west. Wouldn't it be very interesting? What's more, Our sisters need a servant like him to walk around in the rivers and lakes." Jin Yanzi never thought that she would have such absurd thoughts, but she was too preoccupied and didn't bother to blame her, so she just sighed and said, "I'm very tired, I want to rest, you go out." But Yinhua Niang still sat and refused to leave, she stared and said: "Elder sister, why do you think that Miss Lin Daiyu wanted to kill Mr. Yu?" Jin Yanzi turned over, closed her eyes, and ignored her. Yinhua Niang said: "Based on what I think, that Miss Lin may not really want to kill Mr. Yu, there are two suspicious points in it, don't you hear it, eldest sister?" Although Jin Yanzi didn't want to talk to her, she couldn't help but said, "What's suspicious?" Yinhua Niang smiled and said, "Judging from Mr. Yu's attitude towards Miss Lin, it seems that he will never be wary of Miss Lin at all, and the two of them will never be together for more than a day." Jin Yanzi frowned and said, "What's so strange about this?" Yinhua Niang said: "Since this is the case, there are many opportunities for Miss Lin to kill Mr. Yu, why did she have to wait until that night to strike in a place with so many people, and why did she deliberately alarm many people." Jin Yanzi thought for a while, and said: "Maybe she didn't mean to disturb other people, but she just started arguing because she couldn't hold back her anger." Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "If a woman hates a man so much that she wants to kill him, she will never quarrel with him loudly. If she quarrels loudly with him, she will never want to kill him. Yes... Eldest sister, you are also a woman, do you think what I said makes sense?" Jin Yanzi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "This also makes sense." Yinhua Niang said: "Also, if Miss Lin really wanted to kill Mr. Yu, would she kill him with a sword in front of so many people?" Jin Yanzi said: "Maybe she wants to torture him slowly." Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "In my opinion, that Miss Lin's heart is definitely not so vicious, not to mention that even if she really wanted to torture him slowly, she would not do so lightly..." Jin Yanzi said: "How do you know the severity of her attack?" Yinhua Niang smiled and said: "If she doesn't strike lightly, will Mr. Yu still be able to perform lightness kung fu and leave later?" Jin Yanzi pondered: "In your opinion, what's going on?" Yinhua Niang said: "From my point of view, she may just do it for others to see." Jin Yanzi said: "Why did she do it for others to see?" Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "I don't know the reason, maybe you know..." Jin Yanzi said coldly: "I only know that she really hates Yu Peiyu and has a reason to kill him. If there is only one person in the world who really wants to kill Yu Peiyu, that person is Lin Daiyu." Although she was so sure in her mouth, she already vaguely felt that there must be something hidden in this matter, but she did not expect that the matter was actually ten times more complicated than she could have dreamed. ※※※ The carriage rested in this small town all day, and in the early morning of the second day, before dawn, Yinhua Niang got up and urged the driver to take care of the animals and prepare to leave. Jin Yanzi tossed and turned all night, Fangzi fell into a dream, heard the noise in the yard, had to get up dressed, pushed open the door, frowned and said: "Are you leaving so early?" Yinhua Niang went to meet her, and smiled apologetically, "I told them not to disturb the eldest sister, but this kind of rough people are naturally heavy-handed, there is really no way." Jin Yanzi said lightly: "Even if they didn't wake me up, you came to wake me up anyway, didn't you?" Yinhua Niang's heart was revealed by her, and her face couldn't help turning red. Only then did she realize that although Jin Yanzi had always been so-so, it was not as simple as she imagined. Jin Yanzi turned back to the house, but said in his mouth: "Seeing that you are in such a hurry, you must have a destination in your heart. Where are you going? Why didn't you tell me?" Yinhua Niang smiled and said, "Eldest Sister has never asked, so..." Jin Yanzi said: "Haven't I already asked?" Yinhua Niang rolled her eyes and said, "We two sisters are traveling with so many jewels. Although we are not afraid of being snatched by others, it is also somewhat inconvenient, so I want to store these boxes in a reliable place first." Jin Yanzi said: "Where do you want to store it?" Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "My sister first entered the rivers and lakes, and she doesn't recognize anyone. Naturally, it depends on the eldest sister." After what happened yesterday, although Jin Yanzi vaguely felt that her newly adopted little sister was not simple, she still couldn't think of any tricks she would have against her. It would be inconvenient to store it anywhere, even if we are relieved of him, others may not be willing to take on such a big relationship." Yinhua Niang said: "What Eldest Sister said is that this person not only wants us to rest assured, but also has the shoulder blades to carry this burden, otherwise putting all these treasures there may harm him instead." Jin Yanzi thought for a while and said slowly: "There is someone like this nearby." Yinhua Niang's eyes sparkled, and she said happily, "Who is it?" Jin Yanzi said: "The Tang Sect in the middle of Shu, the power shakes the world..." Before she finished speaking, Yinhua Niang clapped her hands and said with a smile: "My sister has already heard of the prestige of the Tang Sect in the middle of Sichuan. If you can store these boxes in the Tang family, it will be the most reliable. Besides, With the prestige of the Tang family's father and son, no one would dare to slap flies on the tiger's head for these treasures." She suddenly frowned again, and continued: "It's just that people in the Tang family have always been withdrawn. If Eldest Sister doesn't recognize them, they will definitely not agree." Jin Yanzi smiled slightly, and said: "You are obviously so familiar with the affairs of Jianghu, how could you not know that Tangmen Sixiu and I are also sworn sisters?" Although she felt that Yinhua Niang was a little overjoyed, she thought it was just because Yinhua Niang cherished these jewels too much. But she didn't know that the reason why Yinhuaniang flattered her so much was because she already knew that she and the girls of the Tang family were sworn sisters, otherwise she would have been killed. Seeing that Yinhua Niang was very happy, she couldn't help laughing and said: "The elder sister and the fourth beauty of Tangmen are sworn sisters, sister, I have become their sister too. I am lonely, and suddenly I have so many famous sisters. I'm so happy." Seeing how happy she was, Jin Yanzi couldn't help laughing and said: "The Tang Sect's family education is quite strict. Their daughters-in-law always feel that they have too few friends. Seeing a lovely younger sister like you must be very happy." She thought of Yinhuaniang's lonely life, even if she valued Zhenbao more, it was human nature, and when she thought about it, she put aside all the precautions she had towards Yinhuaniang yesterday, and felt that she shouldn't treat Yinhuaniang this morning. She was so cold, so I cheered up and talked and laughed with her along the way. ※※※ Although the road to Shu is difficult, there are few mountain roads in the central Sichuan plain, and central Sichuan was called Tianfu in ancient times, with abundant products, and there are many business travelers on the road, so I don't feel lonely. After passing Yunyang Ferry and walking along the Yangtze River, the road is even smoother, but there are gradually more beggars along the way. Most of them are in small groups, talking and laughing. But they never go forward to beg, and some of them even have a haughty look on their faces, as if they don't think much of these ordinary people. Yinhua Niang couldn't help whispering: "I see that these beggars seem to have martial arts all over their bodies, they are definitely not ordinary beggars... Could it be that they are the disciples of the beggars' gang." Although she spoke in a low voice, a lonely beggar who was walking a few feet away suddenly turned around, looked at her with a slight smile, and said, "Miss Hua walks her own way, you don't have to meddle in other people's business. " I saw that the beggar's clothes were ragged and full of oil stains, but his elegant and thin face was washed clean, and the flashing eyes were even more shining. Yinhua Niang stuck out her tongue, and said with a coquettish smile: "Senior has great hearing, he must be an elder in the beggar gang?" The middle-aged beggar suddenly lowered his face, and there was anger in his brows, but he glanced at Jin Yanzi beside Yinhuaniang, and said coldly: "I am not a senior, let alone an elder. Afraid of being mistaken." Yinhua Niang still wanted to talk, but the middle-aged beggar had already strode away, walked to the side of the road and sat down, took out a flat wooden bottle from her bosom and began to drink. The carriage passed by him in a blink of an eye, Yinhua Niang shook her head and smiled wryly, "This man has a weird temper, and I didn't provoke him, so why would he show me face?" Jin Yanzi didn't answer, and after a long while, she suddenly said: "There is Lidu Town ahead, you are waiting for me at Li's Inn in the town, see you soon." Yinhua Niang asked in surprise, "Where is Eldest Sister going?" Jin Yanzi said: "I suddenly remembered something..." Yinhua Niang said: "Isn't it good for my sister to go with my eldest sister?" Jin Yanzi seemed a little impatient, and frowned, "I told you to wait for me in Lidu Town. In three days, I will definitely go to you. Are you afraid that I will run away?" Yinhua Niang hurriedly apologized and smiled, "My sister just obeys." Jin Yanzi watched her lead the three carts away, suddenly reined in the horse's head, and walked towards the back road, only to see the middle-aged beggar, who had already fallen asleep under the tree beside the road. Other beggars, more or less, always have a few sacks on their backs, the more sacks, the higher the class, those without sacks are the uninitiated disciples of the beggar gang. This middle-aged beggar looked haughty, his feet were not dusty when walking, his martial arts must be very high, obviously he would never be a low-level disciple of Weiren's sect, but he didn't even have a sack on his back. Although the clothes on the other beggars were shabby, most of them had been washed clean, but each of them had an unconcealable look of travel and toil. Although the clothes on the middle-aged beggar's body were covered with greasy dirt, his face was not only extremely clean, but also had delicate skin, without even a single wrinkle. Most of the other beggars came in groups and greeted each other, but this middle-aged beggar walked proudly and alone, as if he disdained to be with others. Jin Yanzi just wanted to ask Honglianhua for details about what happened that day. He could have asked other beggars for the whereabouts of the leader of Honglian. But the more she looked at the beggar, the more strange she became, and she couldn't help being curious, so she got off the horse from a distance, led the horse to the tree, and sat down. When the other beggars saw her sitting next to the middle-aged beggar suddenly, they all showed surprise on their faces, but when they walked past them, their steps were light, and they didn't seem to dare to disturb the middle-aged beggar. Dream. Jin Yanzi also held her breath and did not try to wake him up. The middle-aged beggar breathed heavily, seemed to be in a deep sleep, and kept talking vaguely in his dreams. Jin Yanzi listened carefully, but what he heard was: "There are so valuable things in the car. Hurry up and go, but why come to find a beggar, do you want to give a little money?" Jin Yanzi was startled again: "This man has amazing eyesight..." Those three carts were loaded with gold and silver, which were very heavy, and the dust raised behind the carts was also very different, as the old Jianghu could tell at a glance. But those three carts only carried things like pearls and emeralds. Although the value was precious, the weight was no different from ordinary goods. How could this middle-aged beggar be spotted at a glance? The more surprised Jin Yanzi felt, the more she calmed down. No matter how long the middle-aged beggar pretended to be asleep, she decided to wait patiently. After another half hour, the middle-aged beggar burst out laughing suddenly, saying: "Jin Yanzi, a majestic Jiangnan heroine, came to see a beggar sleeping, isn't she afraid that others will lose her teeth when she smiles?" Jin Yanzi was surprised and said: "Senior knows the disciple." The middle-aged beggar looked at her and said with a smile: "Not only do I recognize your swallow, but I also recognize an eagle." Jin Yanzi's master is Yun Tieyi, the famous lone ranger "Condor Eagle" twenty years ago, but Yun Tieyi has lived alone all his life, and has enemies all over the world. Apprentice, when Jin Yanzi debuted, Yun Tieyi was already dying of illness. He knew that he had made too many enemies in his life, so he strictly warned Jin Yanzi not to reveal her master's background. Sure enough, no one in the Jianghu knew who her master was. Even the all-knowing Red Lotus Sect Leader didn't know. At this moment, the middle-aged beggar revealed her background with a single word, Jin Yanzi couldn't help changing her face, she suddenly stood up and sat down slowly, and said with a forced smile: "Senior doesn't know your name, how could you know the name of your predecessor?" Master's..." The middle-aged beggar interrupted her with a wave of his hand, frowning and said: "If you want people to know, you have to do nothing, don't you understand this sentence? As for my name, you won't even know it if you tell me." Jin Yanzi didn't know why he was suddenly angry, and didn't dare to ask again. The middle-aged beggar stared at her twice, then suddenly smiled and said, "Why did you come to see me?" Jin Yanzi said: "This disciple wants to discuss matters with the Red Lotus leader of your clan, so I ask senior to lead..." The middle-aged beggar suddenly said angrily: "Are you here to ask me to lead the way?" Seeing that he was angry all his life, Jin Yanzi faintly shot two rays of light from his eyes, which made people unstoppable, but when he laughed in an instant, it made people feel like a spring breeze. She had never seen a person's change of mood and anger, and he was so fast, and she was surprised, but the middle-aged beggar looked up to the sky and laughed again: "You asked me to take you to see the red lotus, I Why don't I take you there... get on your horse and follow me." Jin Yanzi didn't know why he was angry just now, let alone why he was laughing out loud at this moment, and the laugh was so strange that he was stunned for a moment. The middle-aged beggar had already stood up, walked two steps, turned his head and shouted: "I told you to follow me, why didn't you leave?" Jin Yanzi had no choice but to stand up with a wry smile. She was afraid of offending this strange man again, so she just led the horse and followed him, not daring to mount it. At this time, it was dusk, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, only three or four groups of beggar sect disciples who were hurrying on the road, saw him coming far away and gave way to avoid him. Although these beggar gang disciples seemed to be a little afraid of him, none of them greeted him. People who were talking and laughing, when they saw him, their smiles immediately froze. The middle-aged beggar completely ignored these people, it seemed that he was not a member of the beggar gang, but if he was not a member of the beggar gang, why did he dress up like a beggar?And go on the same road with these beggar gang disciples?The more Jin Yanzi looked at it, the more strange she became, and she felt a secret regret in her heart. "This person's whereabouts are so secretive. Could it be that he is a powerful opponent of the Beggar Sect? I am looking for the leader of the Honglian Sect, so why bother to follow him?" I saw that the middle-aged beggar walked farther and farther without looking back, Jin Yanzi suddenly jumped on the horse, galloped on, and left the middle-aged beggar far behind in a moment, even those beggar gangs The figure of the disciple was no longer visible, and Jin Yanzi heaved a sigh of relief and smiled wryly, and said, "Aren't I..." Unexpectedly, before she could say a word, a person suddenly said coldly under the tree beside the road: "You are looking for the red lotus, and you have gone the wrong way." One person was leaning on the tree, slowly drinking the wine in the bottle, it seemed that he had been standing here a long time ago, but who was that mysterious middle-aged beggar? Jin Yanzi was really shocked, she didn't say a word, she turned her horse's head around, and ran wildly for a while, just wanting to rest and catch her breath. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged beggar was already waiting there, and said coldly: "This road is also wrong." This person's whereabouts are as fast as a ghost. Although Jin Yanzi is usually a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but from the moment he saw this person, he seemed to be intimidated by his magic power, so he did not look for anyone for no reason. He just looked for him, waited beside him for no reason, and then galloped wildly for no reason. At this moment, she felt that her hands and feet were weak, and she couldn't even move the horse. She said tremblingly, "You...what do you want?" The middle-aged beggar looked at her with a smile, and said, "You want me to take you to find the red lotus. I'm just taking you now." Jin Yanzi said: "I...I don't want to go now." The face of the middle-aged beggar immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "Since you want me to take you there, you must go." If it were someone else who spoke to Jin Yanzi like this, it would be strange if Jin Yanzi didn't draw his sword immediately, but in front of this person, she didn't even have the courage to resist. The middle-aged beggar turned around and walked away. Jin Yanzi didn't even dare to run away, but obediently followed behind him. She didn't even know why? Only the middle-aged beggar said leisurely: "You must be regretting in your heart now, I don't know why you just found me." Jin Yanzi gritted her teeth and did not answer. The middle-aged beggar said: "But you don't have to regret it, this is actually not you looking for me, but I looking for you." Jin Yanzi was taken aback again, and lost her voice: "You're looking for me?" The middle-aged beggar suddenly turned to face her, and said slowly, "Yes, I was the one looking for you, but you didn't even know it." Jin Yanzi looked at his shining eyes, and suddenly remembered that ever since those eyes glanced at her, she unconsciously wanted to go back to find him, and even Yinhua Niang was delayed by her for a while. They all felt surprisingly restless and uneasy. Although she didn't know what it was for at the time, she now knew that all these subtle changes were actually because of these eyes. There seemed to be a strange intimidating power in these eyes. Thinking of this, Jin Yanzi couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat, and said in a trembling voice, "You...why did you find me?" The middle-aged beggar said: "There are three reasons." Jin Yanzi asked in surprise, "Three reasons?" The middle-aged beggar said slowly: "The first reason is because you are Yun Tieyi's apprentice." Jin Yanzi said: "You... What is the relationship between you and the former teacher?" The middle-aged beggar didn't answer, but slowly continued: "The second reason is because you are looking for the red lotus." Jin Yanzi said: "Is there any hatred between you and the leader of Honglian?" The middle-aged beggar still didn't answer, but smiled slightly, and said, "The third reason is because you are a woman, and you are also a stunning beauty." When he laughed, his thin and thin face suddenly became indescribably evil, and his bright eyes were full of obscenity. Golden Swallow was stared at by these eyes, as if she was completely naked, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and slip right away. The middle-aged beggar smiled and said, "But you don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you." Jin Yanzi said: "You... what do you want?" At this moment, she wished she could give birth to her wings and fly away, but there seemed to be a strange attraction in those eyes, not only could she not escape, she couldn't even blink her eyes. The middle-aged beggar said slowly: "I want you to come to me just because I want to...protect you...protect you...protect you..." His voice became lower and softer . Jin Yanzi only felt that a person was in a trance, as if he had fallen asleep, but also seemed to be more awake than ever, so he followed him and said: "Yes, you must protect me well." The middle-aged beggar said: "Now, you should know that I am the only person you are closest to in this world." Jin Yanzi said blankly: "Yes, you are my closest person." The middle-aged beggar said: "So no matter what I ask you, you must answer me honestly." Jin Yanzi said: "Yes, no matter what you ask me, I will answer you honestly." The middle-aged beggar smiled and said: "Let me ask you first, before Yun Tieyi died, he got an ancient martial arts secret book, whether he has taught it to you." Jin Yanzi said: "No." The middle-aged beggar said: "Why not?" Jin Yanzi said: "The old man said that the secret book of martial arts must be understood by someone with great wisdom, so even if the old man taught it to me, I would not be able to learn it, and it would hurt me instead. .” The middle-aged beggar said: "After he died, where did the martial arts secret book go?" Jin Yanzi said: "The old man said that if that martial arts secret book is left in the world, it will definitely cause a lot of bloodshed, but the old man is reluctant to destroy it, so he hides it in a very secret place, No one knows that place except his old man." The middle-aged beggar said: "Don't you know?" Jin Yanzi said: "Although the old man never hides anything from me, only this matter, but he refuses to tell me no matter what, because he thinks that no woman in the world can keep a secret." The middle-aged beggar said bitterly: "I searched for many years, only to find out that you are his apprentice, but I didn't expect him to not even tell you. Since the old fox himself is dead, why does he do this?" Jin Yanzi said: "The old man said that no matter who is, as long as he learns the martial arts from this secret book, he can run wild in the world, so if this secret book falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be unimaginable. He also knows that there are already some people in the world. People have discovered that this secret book has fallen into his hands, and many people have begun to look for him, so I am not allowed to tell my origin, lest others find me." The middle-aged beggar frowned and thought for a while before slowly saying: "Why are you looking for that red lotus?" Jin Yanzi said: "I want to ask him something." The middle-aged beggar said: "What's the matter?" Jin Yanzi said: "It's about Yu Peiyu and Lin Daiyu." The middle-aged beggar said: "Why are you so concerned about other people's affairs?" Jin Yanzi said: "Just because I love Yu Peiyu." The middle-aged beggar had an evil smile again, and said, "You don't love Yu Peiyu, you love me, you know?" Jin Yanzi suddenly shouted loudly and said, "I love Yu Peiyu, not you, not you." The middle-aged beggar never expected that her emotions would be so strong that she could break free from his mental shackles. With a flash of his eyes, he took out an extremely thin gold chain from his bosom. There was a strange black pearl tied to the gold chain. He shook the gold chain, and the pearl kept shaking in front of the golden swallow... Jin Yanzi's excited emotions gradually calmed down again. The middle-aged beggar said in a deep voice: "No matter who you love, I will always be your closest person, right?" Jin Yanzi lowered her eyelids and said, "Yes." 那中年乞丐道：“无论我要你做什么，你都不会反抗，是么？” 金燕子道：“是。” 那中年乞丐道：“现在，我要你把身上衣服脱下来。” 金燕子想也不想，立刻缓缓脱下了身上衣服，露出了那比玉更莹润的胸膛，胸膛在晚风中傲然挺立。 那中年乞丐满意地一笑，道：“现在，你脱下裙子。” 金燕子缓缓解开了裙腰带的搭扣…… 就在这时，只听一阵敲竹之声，远远传了过来。 那中年乞丐叹了口气，道：“可惜现在没有时间了，你穿上衣服吧。” 等到金燕子穿起衣眼，那中年乞丐又道：“现在，你可以慢慢醒来了，你要将我问你的一切话都忘了，只记得我是你最亲密的人，我是你的朋朋友，你的丈夫，也是你的父亲，你的师父。” 他收起了珍珠，双掌轻轻地一拍。 金燕子茫然张开眼睛，茫然瞧了他一眼，喃喃道：“你是我的朋友，我的丈夫，又是我的父亲，我的师父，但你是谁呢？你究竟是谁呢？” 那中年乞丐微微一笑，道：“你若想知道我的名子，我不妨告诉你，我就是无所不知，无所不能的郭翩仙，我就是人中的奇杰，天下没有人比得得上我。” 金燕子身子似乎微微一震，道：“郭翩仙！” 郭翩仙傲然笑道：“我是昔日丐帮的长老、武当的护法，西北最大马场场的主人，天下最大的富翁，我也曾经是海棠夫人君海棠的丈夫。” 他大笑接道：“这不过是我数十种身份中的几种而已，我的身份多得有时连自己都忘记，我这一生比数十人加起来都丰富。” 金燕子茫然叹了口气，喃喃道：“郭翩仙……人中的奇杰……我的丈夫……” ※※※ 深夜荒山之中，竟亮起了一片灯火。 在山的凹里，四面山壁上，都插满了松枝火把。 火光照耀下，成千成百个丐帮弟子，散坐在四周。 红莲花也坐在一块石头上，面色是那么凝重，任何人都可瞧出他，这名满天下的红莲帮主，现在必定遇着了一件难以解决的困难之事。 梅四蟒自然也在他身旁，眉宇间亦是忧郁沉重。 这么多人聚在一起，山凹里竟仍是一片死寂，只有火的燃烧声伴着山风，像是狼群嘶哑的呼唤。 良久，红莲花终于忍不住道：“你想，他真的会来么？” 梅四蟒沉声道：“自北面来的弟子，都曾在路上见到一个很像他的人，虽然没有人能证明真的就是他，但都说这人的模样，和帮主描述的相差无几，所以他们也都遵从帮主的吩咐，瞧见他就远远避开了。” 红莲花叹了口气，道：“此人销声匿迹，几乎已有十五年，此刻会突然出现，他究竟有何居心，倒真是令人猜不透。” 梅四蟒道：“他的用意，帮主难道真的猜不透么？” 红莲花默然半晌，苦笑道：“他莫非是要我将这帮主之位让给他？但以他的为人，他是未必瞧在眼里？我想，他也许是有更大的图谋。” 梅四蟒面色更是沉重，仰视着黑暗的苍穹，深深地道：“无论他有何图谋，我知道他带来的只有灾祸，灾祸。” 他忽然压低声音，接着道：“但无论他武功多么高强，以今日我们的人手，想必总可以除去他。” 红莲花面色变了变，哑声道：“但无论如何，他总是丐帮的长老。” 梅四蟒道：“据弟子所知，他还是武当的护法，一身而兼两派之长，这已犯了本帮大忌，帮主正可以帮规来处治他。” 红莲花苦笑道：“但又有谁能证明他也是武当的护法？” 梅四蟒怔了怔，道：“这——” 红莲花叹道：“此人纵然作恶多端，但世上却没有一个人能证明他的恶行，否则不等别人，老帮主就竟放不过他的，又怎会让他活到现在。” 梅四蟒皱眉道：“帮主的意思，该怎么办呢？” 红莲花沉声道：“我一接到他的信，便开始思索对付他的良策，但直到此刻，还是想不出什么好法子，也许……” 突听远处山口响起了一阵敲竹之声。 梅四蟒失声道：“来了。” 话犹未了，敲竹声已一声连着一声，已到面前。 丐帮集会，四面自然都伏有暗卡，见到有人来了，便以敲竹为号，梅四蟒长叹了口气，道：“他来得好快。” 四面的丐帮弟子，虽仍安坐不动，但神情都已紧张起来，有的人指尖甚至已在微微颤抖。 只见一个清癯颀长的中年乞丐，大步走了进来，目光睥睨之间，竟有不可一世的气概。 还有一个身穿着淡金色衣衫的绝色少女，垂首跟在他身后，红莲花面色立刻又变了，悄声道：“金燕子怎地也跟他一起来了？” 梅四蟒道：“金女侠莫非已落入他的魔掌？” 话犹未了，郭翩仙已大步走到近前，锐利的目光，上上下下，将红莲花瞧了一遍，忽然笑道：“多年不见，昔年的垂髫童子，今日已长成个英挺少年，而且已名扬四海，这当真可贺可喜。” 红莲花抱拳道：“不敢。” 郭翩仙道：“却不知你还认得我么？” 红莲花道：“虽然多年不见，但郭长老的风采，时刻俱在弟子念中。” 郭翩仙面色一沉，厉声道：“你既然还没忘我乃帮中长老，见了我为何还不下拜。” 红莲花怔了怔，讷讷道：“这……” 梅四蟒已在旁抗声道：“帮主乃帮中至尊，长老纵是前辈也无令帮主跪拜之理。” 郭翩仙仰天狂笑道：“好，好，原来你已当了本帮帮主，这更可喜可贺。” 高亢的笑声，震得四山都起了回音，丐帮弟子个个耳朵如被雷轰，一个个俱已坐立不定，面色如土。 只听郭翩仙笑声突又停顿，瞧着红莲花厉声道：“但你这帮主却不知，是谁令你当的。” 梅四蟒道：“此乃老帮主的遗命。” 郭翩仙道：“遗命？拿来瞧瞧。” 梅四蟒道：“老帮主临终遗言，并无纸令。” 郭翩仙道：“老帮主的遗言，有谁听见？” 梅四蟒道：“除了帮主外，弟子也曾在旁听见。” 郭翩仙冷笑道：“就凭你的话，就让他坐上帮主宝座，这也未免太容易了吧。” 梅四蟒怒道：“长老莫非认为弟子所言有假？” 郭翩仙道：“凭你也敢在本座面前如此说话？你仗的是什么？” 梅四蟒挺胁道：“弟子只是据理而言。” 郭翩仙喝道：“据理而言，哼！你还不配。” “配”字出口，突然伸手。 梅四蟒只觉眼前一花，还未弄清是怎么回事，脸上已着了两个耳掴子，接着，人便被远远抛了出去。 他号称“没事忙”，为人自然极是热肠，人缘自也极好，丐帮弟子虽震于郭翩仙之武功与气概，但见到梅四蟒受辱，仍不禁骚动起来。 郭翩仙目光四扫，厉声道：“本帮帮主之产生，从来只有两途，一是论辈分之尊卑，二是论武功之高下，本座以护法长老之身份，而来查询此事，你们乱吵什么？” 沉重的语声自嘈杂中传送出去，每个字仍可听得清清楚楚，但丐帮弟子的骚动却仍未被压下去。 郭翩仙怒道：“红莲花，你这是当的什么帮主？本帮子弟，怎么越来越没规矩了。” 红莲花一直好像置身事外似的，此刻方自微微一笑，缓缓举起双手，轻轻一挥，沉声道：“兄弟们且静静，有话慢慢说。” 他话声远不如郭翩仙响亮，但话才说完，丐帮弟子的骚动，就立刻沉寂下来，四下已没丝毫声音。 红莲花瞧着郭翩仙微笑道：“本帮子弟的规矩还是有的，只不过大家对郭长老都已有些生疏，十五年的日子，无论对谁说来，都不算太短的。” 郭翩仙面色变了变，道：“他们难道都已忘却了本座不成？” 红莲花缓缓道：“并非是忘记，而是他们都以为本帮昔日的护法长老，在十五年前，便已退出本帮了。” 郭翩仙怒道：“这话是谁说的？” 红莲花微笑道：“故老帮主在十五年前，便已宣布此事，本帮弟子，人人都听得清清楚楚，长老想必也不会认为晚辈所言有假吧？” 郭翩仙呆了半晌，冷笑道：“他不说将我逐出帮外，只说我自己退出本帮，对我还算有点交情。” 红莲花道：“他老人家早已知道长老志在四海，绝不会恋怀本帮区区之位，否则无论以辈分或武功而言，他老人家仙去后，原都该让长老你承继大统的。” 郭翩仙大笑道：“难怪江湖中人盛称，红莲帮主非但文武双全，精明强干，而且口角锋芒，亦是天下无双，今日一见，果然不差。” 红莲花忽然走到金燕子面前，微笑道：“金女侠今日惠然光降，莫非有何见教？” 金燕子道：“我是跟他来的。” 红莲花试探着道：“金女侠认得郭长老，想必不会太久吧。” 金燕子道：“他是我最亲近的人。” 红莲花道：“哦……这倒真是想不到……” 他本想自金燕子口中，探出郭翩仙的恶迹，此刻暗中不禁甚是失望，但面上却丝毫不露声色。 他知道要对付郭翩仙，只要棋差一步，便不可收拾。 只听郭翩仙又自笑道：“我本担心你年纪太轻，无力承担本帮的大事，如今见到本帮弟子竟如此尊崇于你，我也放心了。” 他话风竟变得如此快，确是令人惊异，红莲花本也难以相信，但转念一想：“他见到兄弟们人人归心，知道自己纵然夺得帮主之位，也是无用的，所以立刻见风转舵了。”想到这里，才不觉松了口气，警戒之意大减，笑道：“郭长老身在帮外，犹如此关心帮中之事，实令弟子感激得很，弟子谨为帮中子弟向长老谢过。” 说到“关心”两字，他已发觉郭翩仙目中射出了一股妖异之光，自己的目光竟被吸引。 但这时他想移开目光，已来不及了。 郭翩仙目光凝注，嘴角带着微笑，缓缓道：“但独力难支大厦，一个人的精力毕竟有限，你想必还是要请本座重回护法之位的，是么？” 红莲花道：“是。” 郭翩仙微笑道：“日后帮中之事，都必需由我两人共同取决，是么？” 红莲花道：“是！” 丐帮弟子见到红莲花突然对郭翩仙言听计从，都不觉大为惊异，但丐帮帮规素严，谁也不敢多话。 只有梅四蟒，他此刻已喘过气来，挣扎着站起，大喝道：“帮主怎能听他的话，帮主你千万要多加考虑。” 郭翩仙厉声道：“此人目无尊长，冒犯护法，是否该按帮规处治。” 红莲花睁大了眼睛，道：“他……他……” 梅四蟒已奔上前来，拜倒在地，道：“帮主纵以帮规处治弟子，弟子也是要说的，弟子死不足惜，本帮大权若是落在此人之手，大局焉可收拾。” 红莲花面上似乎露出为难之色。 郭翩仙又自怀中取出了那粒黑珍珠，缓缓摇荡着道：“此人罪已当诛，你还不发令么？” 丐帮子弟人人面如死灰，等着红莲花开口。 梅四蟒以头崩地，血流满面，不住声道：“弟子死不足惜，但帮主千万慎重……” 郭翩仙厉声道：“此人不但冒犯尊长，而且干涉帮主之权，已犯本帮帮规第一条及第七条大戒，罪当凌迟处死，是么？” 金燕子忽然道：“是。” 原来她目光也已盯在那黑珍珠上，郭翩仙无论说什么，她的回答，都只有一个“是”字。 只听红莲花也沉声道：“是，凌迟处死。” 梅四蟒狂呼一声，当场晕了过去。 丐帮弟子更是人人心惊胆落，目瞪口呆，他们谁也想不到红莲帮主竟会将梅四蟒处死，但是谁也不敢多话。 要知丐帮分子最杂，帮主若无重权，怎能统驭散布天下的千万弟子，所以丐帮帮主的权威，向来都在各门各帮之上。 丐帮帮主的命令纵然错了，帮中弟子也只有俯首听命，绝无抗辩的余地，否则受刑之惨，无可名状。 这也因为丐帮创于五代残唐，创始人本“治乱世，用重典”的原则，量刑却极重，此后一脉相传，至今未改，而丐帮也确实因为这原故，使得帮中子弟品流虽复杂，而不肖者却少之又少。 所以红莲花一声令下，梅四蟒才会惊骇晕厥，郭翩仙嘴角却不禁泛起一丝得意的微笑，叱道：“帮主有令，执刑弟子还不过来？” 叱声中，已有四个人长身站起，垂首走了过来，丐帮弟子们大多已在俯首垂泪，不忍再看。 黑珍珠仍在摇荡着，流动着妖异的光。 郭翩仙微笑道：“红莲花，现在你可以……” 话犹未了，突听“刷”的一响，一缕尖锐的风声，自红莲花手指间弹出，妖异的黑珍珠，立刻被击得粉碎。 郭翩仙后退数步，大骇道：“你……” 红莲花的狂笑已打断了他的语声，狂笑着道：“你若以为我真的这般容易就被你这慑心术所迷，你就错了。” 郭翩仙面色大变，恨声道：“好个红莲花，你装得好像。” 红莲花笑道：“我若装得不像，怎能诱出你的奸谋，我若不能使本帮千万兄弟，都瞧清你的面目，再动手除你，别人岂非也要认为我和你争权夺位。” 丐帮弟子俱是又惊又喜。 梅四蟒喜极之下，更已不觉泪流满面，仰首望天，嘶声道：“老帮主多年未能做到的事，今日终于被少帮主做到了，郭翩仙奸谋终于败露，老帮主你在天之灵，想必也可瞑目。” 郭翩仙面色铁青，突也狂笑道：“什么奸谋？什么摄心术？我完全不懂。” 红莲花厉声道：“事已至此，你还不认罪？” 郭翩仙冷笑道：“我认什么罪？方才是你自己要处治梅四蟒，如今你自己又反悔了，这与我又有何关系？” 事情一变至此，他居然仍不慌乱，犹能应变，轻描淡写几句话，便想将事情赖个干干净净。 红莲花，梅四蟒等人，虽然明知他在狡赖，但一时间竟想不出反击之言，不由得又都怔住。 郭翩仙目光四转，大喝道：“诸位兄弟，他说我用了摄心妖术，各位不问他可拿出什么证据，若是拿不出证据来，他就是血口喷人。” 丐帮弟子面面相觑，也怔住了。
