Yinhuaniang turned her eyes around, and after a long time, she sighed and said: "You are all real men, and you are all famous heroes, I really don't know what to do, after much deliberation, only A solution." The four blurted out in unison: "What method?" Yinhua Niang said sweetly: "Women are all weak and want to be protected, so every woman hopes to marry a man with the strongest martial arts..." Gray Wolf's complexion changed slightly, but Yinhua Niang didn't let him speak, and she continued: "But if the four of you make a move, someone will inevitably be injured. No matter who is injured, I feel uncomfortable in my heart."

After hearing this, Gray Wolf gradually softened his expression. Hong Hu frowned and said: "If you don't do it, how can you tell the difference in martial arts? I really don't understand." Yinhua Niang smiled coquettishly: "The concubine only hopes that each of you can show off your martial arts, and let the concubine take a look at it. Wouldn't it not hurt Xian Kunzhong's kindness, and also distinguish the level of martial arts..." Honghu laughed loudly and said, "That's right, I didn't expect you to have so many good ideas in your little head."

At this time, Jin Yanzi, who was far away on the opposite roof, couldn't help but ask: "What is her plan now?" Mei Si Mang said: "Naturally, I am luring these four people to kill each other." Jin Yanzi said: "Since that's the case, why didn't she try to get them to do it?" Mei Si Mang laughed and said: "This is what makes my sister smart. The gray wolf has already suspected that she is playing tricks. If she wants them to do it now, the gray wolf will turn his face immediately." Jin Yanzi frowned and said: "But if these four people don't fight, how can they kill each other?"

Mei Simang smiled and said: "Your sister has already seen that although these four are brothers, none of them is convinced by the other, and none of them will admit that their martial arts are inferior to others, and in the end they still have to fight... Wouldn't it be much better to ask them to do it themselves than to let her say it." Jin Yanzi sighed and stopped talking. I saw the red tiger stretched a long way, and the joints all over his body rattled. Suddenly, the tiger roared, and a palm fell, and it slapped on a stone pier beside him. Although the carved stone pier is hollow in the middle, even if an ordinary person hits it with a big hammer, it may not be able to break it all at once.

At this moment, the red tiger slapped it down, and there was a "bang", and one stone pier turned into seventeen or eight, and the fragments fell all over the ground with a clatter. Yinhua Niang laughed coquettishly: "Mr. Zhao is really good at martial arts. I never dreamed that a person could have such a hard fist and such great strength." The red tiger laughed wildly, and said: "I have shown this martial art, others may not even have to try it." Yinhua Niang smiled charmingly: "This kind of martial arts, I'm afraid it's really hard for anyone to match."

She was talking, but her eyes were on the black panther. Black Panther sneered and said, "Zhao Lao Er's hand is good for chopping firewood, but if the opponent fights, it may not be useful." Honghu blushed and said angrily: "My kung fu is useless, can you still be better than me?" The panther smiled coldly, and slowly sat down on another stone pier. He sat quietly for a long while without any movement. Honghu laughed loudly and said, "What kind of kung fu are you practicing, butt kung fu." The black panther sat still, and sneered, "Even if your brain doesn't work, don't you even use your eyes?"

Red Tiger stared at him, but he couldn't laugh anymore. He suddenly found that the black panther was getting lower and lower, the round stone pier was already half submerged in the ground, the black panther seemed to be sitting still, but it had already shown its beautiful internal strength. Yinhua Niang laughed coquettishly again: "Boss Qin really deserves to be the boss. If the stone pier is pointed, it's okay for him to sit on it, but he sat down half of the round stone pier. This skill is really amazing. What do you guys think?" Lord White Snake laughed dryly and said, "That's right. I haven't seen you for a few months. Unexpectedly, Boss Qin's kung fu has improved a lot."

Black Panther stretched his head and laughed loudly: "If I don't improve my martial arts, I will be killed by your good brothers..." The laughter stopped suddenly, and his face changed drastically. The gray wolf had arrived behind him at some point, and a dagger had been inserted into his back. The black panther came in and out with cold sweat on his face, and said suddenly: "Third brother, you...you are so ruthless." Gray Wolf had no expression on his face, and said coldly: "I just want to tell you that although Zhao Lao Er's kung fu can only chop wood, your kung fu is not necessarily useful. Humans are alive, so why should you sit on them?" I can't get my ass down."

He stared at Yinhuaniang with dead gray eyes, and said with a sinister smile: "The most useful kung fu in the world is the kung fu that can kill people, what do you think, girl?" The panther roared wildly, wanting to turn over and strangle Gray Wolf by the neck. But the gray wolf jumped back five feet, and pulled out the dagger, a stream of blood shot out, before the black panther jumped up, it fell on its back and couldn't get up again. Honghu roared angrily: "Qin Biao is not a thing, but he is our brother after all, how can you kill him." Gray Wolf said sullenly: "I killed him, so the boss has to let you do it."

The red tiger was startled, then hummed, and said nothing more. White Snake Langjun chuckled and said: "The third brother is right, all kung fu is fake, only the kung fu of killing is the real kung fu, but the younger brother's kung fu of killing may not be much worse than the third man." While he was talking, he got up quietly, and suddenly stabbed the red tiger's back with a knife. His lightness skill was wonderful and his strike was ruthless, and he really was not inferior to the gray wolf. Unexpectedly, although Honghu looks stupid, he is not stupid at all. The White Snake made a move, but he turned around and counterattacked.

It's a pity that his body is really too big, although the White Snake's knife didn't stab his vitals, it still stabbed his shoulder blade, and when he sent it hard, the whole knife was inserted into the flesh. This saber was too forceful, even the White Snake couldn't stop it. The red tiger let out a wild roar, and stretched out its arms, clamping his whole body under his ribs, and said with a grinning smile, "Where are you going to escape?" White Snake exclaimed: "Zhao Er Er, let go, please spare me." Honghu giggled and said, "I also want to forgive you in my heart, but it's a pity that my arm doesn't agree." He squeezed his arm hard, and only heard a "click", the bones of the white snake's whole body were crushed, and the hissing and screaming turned into panting and moaning. It wasn't until the sound of panting disappeared that the Red Tiger slowly let go, and the White Snake really collapsed on the ground like a dead snake. Gray Wolf gasped, giggled dryly and said, "Zhao Lao Er has great strength." The red tiger pulled out the knife on his shoulder blade with his backhand, and the blood shot all over his body, but he didn't even frown, looked at the gray wolf and said with a sneer: "Now it's just you and me, what do you want? ?” Yinhua Niang had already hid to the side, stood by and watched without speaking, she knew that the fire had already been lit by her, and there was no need for her to refuel it. I saw Red Tiger and Gray Wolf staring at each other for a while. Gray Wolf suddenly walked to the table, pulled out the chair, sat down slowly, and said with a smile, "Second brother, why don't we sit down and talk." Honghu said: "Sit down and sit down. Others are afraid of your tricks, but I am not afraid of you." He also pulled out a chair and sat down. Gray Wolf smiled and said, "One table can match two chairs, right?" Honghu didn't understand why he would ask this question at this moment, so he nodded: "That's right." Gray Wolf picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, and said with a smile, "One teapot can also be paired with two cups, right?" Honghu said angrily: "Nonsense." Gray Wolf brought a cup of tea to Red Tiger, and said with a smile, "Since you and I can have tea, why bother working so hard?" Yinhua Niang had already understood the meaning of his words, she couldn't help frowning. Hong Hu frowned and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand." Gray Wolf laughed and said: "In the past, Ehuang and Nvying worked together as a husband, and it was passed down through the ages. Since you and I are brothers, why can't we marry a wife together." Honghu said angrily: "Everything else can be shared, but my wife can't." Gray Wolf said coldly: "My brothers have many vengeances, even if you kill me, you are alone, you are alone, not to mention, you and I put our lives together, it is not known who killed the other, is it? ?” Honghu stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Yes, half a wife is better than no wife, besides, judging by the strength of this slut, I may not be able to deal with it alone." He laughed and raised his teacup, saying: "Good brother, you have a good idea, I respect you." Only Yinhua Niang giggled and said: "This idea is really good. After you drink this cup of tea, you will know how good his idea is." The red tiger's eyes rolled, and the hand that had already picked up the teacup was immediately put down again. Although this person is as stupid as a cow, he has been fighting in the rivers and lakes for decades. Knowing a lot but holding the cup of tea in his hand, he stared and said, "Could it be that there are ghosts in this tea?" Gray Wolf yelled: "Second, you must not wrong me, we are good brothers, please don't fall for other people's tricks to sow discord." Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "Since that's the case, you should drink this cup of tea." She Yingying walked over, took the teacup from Red Tiger, and brought it to Gray Wolf. Her little fingernails stained with wind fairy flower juice seemed to be lightly tapped in the tea, and she said with a charming smile, "I said this." There is poison in the cup of tea, if you don't drink it, I don't blame you." Honghu roared angrily: "If you dare not drink this cup of tea, I will screw your head off." Gray Wolf's face changed color, and he said loudly, "This tea is not poisonous, but now you have poisoned it." Yinhua Niang opened her eyes wide and said, "You... you said I poisoned you?" Gray Wolf sternly said, "It's you bitch." He punched out, but Yinhua Niang had already hidden behind the red tiger. The red tiger also jumped up, roaring angrily: "It's obviously you, who else do you want to blame? Do you think I'm a stupid pig?" He roared wildly and rushed forward, only to hear two "bo, bo", gray wolf's left and right punches hit him, but it was like punching a sandbag, he didn't care at all. The gray wolf was shocked, and wanted to draw the knife again, but the red tiger had already punched him back. The punch was too much for the gray wolf, and the whole body bent down like a shrimp. Honghu followed up with another punch, hitting him on the head, causing his whole head to explode. These two punches had no ingenious tricks, but they were really effective. No matter who it was, if they didn't have something in their hands, Just don't want to use force with someone like Honghu, just because you beat him, he doesn't care at all, and if he hits you, he will die. Yinhua Niang had already clapped her hands loudly. The red tiger spit out a mouthful of phlegm, spit on the gray wolf, and said contemptuously: "If you want to beat someone before you have learned how to be beaten, isn't it courting death?" Yinhua Niang clapped her hands and smiled coquettishly: "That's right, Mr. Zhao is good at beating people, and the kung fu of receiving beatings is even better in the world, but... but this guy really didn't hurt you just now?" Red Tiger puffed out his chest and laughed loudly: "His two paws seem to be scratching my itch, I don't believe you, come and have a look." Yinhua Niang walked over and said softly: "But your shoulder still seems to be bleeding..." With her red nails, she lightly scratched the red tiger's shoulder blade wound just stabbed by the white snake, and said softly, "Does it hurt?" Honghu laughed loudly and said, "It doesn't hurt, it just feels itchy when touched by your little hand..." His whole body moved, and he laughed and hugged Yinhuaniang's waist. But Yinhua Niang walked away with a coquettish smile, giggling and saying, "I'll only be convinced if you catch me." She fled in front with a coquettish smile, and Honghu chased after her panting. Her figure was as light as a swallow, and Honghu could hardly even touch the corner of her clothes. In the end, Honghu had no choice but to hold on to the table to breathe, salivating with a smile on his face and saying, "Little dear, little darling, just let me give you a hug." Yinhua Niang looked at him with a smile, suddenly shook her head and sighed, "You...you are obviously a stupid pig, why do you refuse to admit it?" Hong Hu was startled, and said: "What is this?" Yinhua Niang said softly: "I have just injected a poison that will kill you at the sight of blood just now, the amount is enough to kill ten big fat pigs, if you don't move, you can live for a few more hours, now such a Run, the poison has already flowed along your blood and filled your whole body, as long as you push harder, you will die immediately." The red tiger roared wildly, and rushed over with all his strength, only to hear a "crash", the table had been knocked down, but his body was already crushed under the table. Yinhua Niang sighed, and said leisurely: "Why don't you believe what I told you with good intentions?" She walked around the table, walked to the door, leaned against the door, and said with a sweet smile: "There are four dead people in this room, brothers, can you help me carry them out?" The subordinates of the four evil beasts have been anxious in the yard, but the four evil beasts have the strictest control, and no one dared to leave their posts without orders. They only heard that the room was in a mess, and they hadn't figured out what happened, so they swarmed over at this moment, and they were all stunned immediately. Yinhua Niang said softly: "I know how you feel. You saw your master died for no reason. Even if you wanted to avenge them, I wouldn't blame you." The big men saw her standing there with a smile, her clothes were not torn, and her master, whom he respected every day like a god, fell to the ground like a dead dog. This woman is not only terrifyingly beautiful, but also extremely powerful It was even more frightening, among the ten or so big men, none of them dared to mention the word "revenge", they all turned around and fled like flying, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Yinhua Niang sighed leisurely, and murmured: "These days, even robbers are becoming less and less courageous." Jin Yanzi and Mei Simong were also stunned. Mei Simong smiled wryly and said: "Lingmei's skills are so powerful, she is almost as beautiful as Mrs. Haitang in the past. I have known for a long time that no one else needs to take action, she can handle it by herself." Jin Yanzi felt bitterness in his mouth. Mei Simong said again: "Now the girl can go down, and the old man can go back to work." Jin Yanzi said: "You...won't you go down and sit down?" Mei Si Mang hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Although this old man is quite old, he is still a man after all, so it's better not to meet Ling Mei..." Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared. Jin Yanzi heaved a long sigh, but saw Yinhua Niang leaning against the door again, she looked up and smiled and said: "I didn't expect there are distinguished guests upstairs, my little sister has not entertained you enough, please forgive me." Jin Yanzi couldn't bear it any longer, and swished down, and ran in front of Yinhua Niang, when Yinhua Niang saw it was her, she was stunned, and her face was covered twice by her ears. These two blows were really serious, Yinhua Niang fell into the door and said in a broken voice: "Eldest sister, you..." Jin Yanzi felt that she hadn't hit hard enough, stomped her foot and said with a sneer: "Don't call me big sister anymore, I am not qualified to be your big sister, human life is worse than a dog in your eyes, once you are happy , might kill me too.” Yinhua Niang covered her face with her hands, and suddenly burst into tears. Jin Yanzi said angrily: "You killed four people without any effort, you should be happy, why are you crying?" Yinhua Niang cried bitterly: "Eldest sister thinks I'm happy to kill someone, elder sister, if you see it, you should know, if I don't try to kill them, what will they do to me?" She cried bitterly and rushed to Jin Yanzi's feet, saying: "Eldest sister, if you want to beat me or scold me, it doesn't matter, but if you don't want me as a younger sister, I... I will die right in front of you, elder sister." Jin Yanzi beat her, scolded her, half of her anger had subsided, and when she heard her words, she shed tears and said, "Even if you have no other choice, you shouldn't be so ruthless?" Yinhua Niang tremblingly said: "I know I was wrong, but I was used to being bullied by others since I was a child, and all I met were ruthless people. I... I was really scared, so I couldn't help but be more ruthless." She cried bitterly, hugged Jin Yanzi's leg, and said: "Elder Sister, if you had come earlier, they wouldn't have dared to bully me, and I wouldn't have done such a thing." Jin Yanzi's heart was sour again, and she couldn't help but sighed, "That's right, it's my fault too, I should have come here a long time ago." She only felt that instead of blaming others for this matter, she should be blaming herself. While talking, she hugged Yinhua Niang and burst into tears. Although Yinhua Niang was crying on the face, she almost laughed in secret. She has now realized that as long as she touches a person's temper, not only men are easy to deal with, but women are also easy to deal with, especially a temper like Jin Yanzi. ※※※ The rivers and lakes are dangerous, but they are also fair. As long as a talented person can become famous, his life will immediately become splendid and colorful. It's just that although some people's lives are brilliant, they are as short as shooting stars. In the past three hundred years, I don't know how many heroes have risen and fallen in the rivers and lakes, but not all of them are incompetent. Unfailing strength, thus his fame, and thus eternal life. For three hundred years, the forces that have been able to stand firm in the rivers and lakes all the time, in addition to Shaolin, Wudang... These glorious historical sects, there are also some prominent martial arts families, although some of these martial arts families are because of their ancestors. Martial arts sacrificed for justice, and in exchange for the respect of his family from the heroes of the rivers and lakes, most of them are because they have a special martial arts or talent, so they can not be eliminated and survive forever. For example, there are "Zhang Jianqi" in the capital where the medical knowledge is handed down from generation to generation, there is the "Pilitang" in the south of the Yangtze River that is famous for its firearms, there is the "Nangong Family" with exquisite palm skills, there is also the "Tianyu Pond" with pure water, and there is also the "Five The children of the Peng family in Henan who have dominated for many years with the "Tiger Broken Door Knife"... Among all the martial arts families, the most popular and popular one is naturally the Tang Sect in the middle of Sichuan, which is unique in the world with its poisonous hidden weapons. Tangjiazhuang at the foot of the mountain outside Yucheng, after three hundred years of continuous renovation and expansion, has developed from a simple two-row bungalow into a very spectacular villa. The scale of this manor is almost the size of a small city. As long as you walk through the gate that is repainted every year, from clothing, food, housing, transportation, to reading and entertainment, and even death and marriage, You don't need to ask for everything, and the adequacy of everything can surprise you. In fact, the most elegant restaurant, the latest silk and satin shop, and the most complete makeup shop in central Sichuan are all located in this courtyard. The disciples of the Tang family naturally all have special skills. They use their skills to make money and then spend them in these shops. They want to have higher enjoyment, as long as they work hard to make money, and all human and financial resources are limited to circulation in this manor. Day after day like this, Tangjiazhuang naturally grew stronger and stronger. Even Yinhua Niang, after she walked into the gate of Tangjiazhuang, couldn't help being dazzled and stunned, almost breathless for a cup of tea. She had also been to Tangjiazhuang before, but it was outside the mountain gate. She never imagined that there would be such a big difference between the inside and outside of Tangjiazhuang. From outside the gate, the wooden fence made of huge tree trunks, the black painted gate, and the flag hanging high on the flagpole are no different from the villas of ordinary martial arts heroes, only bigger. But when she got to the door, she suddenly discovered that there was a street in the manor, a street paved with neat bluestone slabs, an out-and-out street. On both sides of the street, there are various shops, and every shop is doing very well, but there are no signboards outside the shop fronts. This scene was something she never dreamed of seeing in a "farm house", but it was not these things that surprised her the most. What surprised her the most was that in this well-known martial arts family, there was no sign of strict vigilance and swords drawn. Their horses came to the gate, and Jin Yanzi simply gave their first and last name, and they came in, and the gatekeepers were just two shambling old men. Yinhua Niang took a long breath, and finally couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Is this really the only Tang Family Village?" Jin Yanzi laughed and said, "You don't believe me?" Yinhua Niang sighed: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I'm a little confused." There were many people walking up and down the street, although they couldn't help but glance at them, but no one came to ask questions. Yinhua Niang couldn't help but said again: "People in the Jianghu say that Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain and Tangjiazhuang are all forbidden places in the martial arts. If you want to take a step beyond the thunder, you will never get out alive, but look at the current situation. But it seems like anyone can walk in sideways and walk out straight.” Jin Yanzi smiled faintly, "It's just because you walked in with me." Yinhua Niang said: "Can't I break in by myself?" Jin Yanzi said: "If you want to barge in, you have to go out lying down." She smiled and continued: "Look at the people on the road, they seem to be very friendly, don't you? Then you are wrong, as long as you show something wrong, something may fly out of everyone's sleeve Come, I will kill you." Yinhua Niang couldn't help taking a deep breath, but she smiled and said: "But since we have already entered, why don't we even have someone to inform and guide the way?" Jin Yanzi said: "How do you know they didn't report? It's just that outsiders can't see the way they reported. If you don't believe it, someone will come out to welcome you." Yinhua Niang said: "The owner of this manor..." Jin Yanzi said: "The old man Wushuang lives in the back of this manor, and he lives in the same house with his children. You may think that anyone can break in, but in fact, no matter who, if you want to break in To break into his house outside the gate, not only do you need to have a pair of wings, but you also need to prepare eight or nine heads." Yinhua Niang sighed, and murmured: "If he has been living in such a safe place, it's no wonder he's getting timid." Jin Yanzi frowned and said: "How do you know that the old man's courage is getting smaller and smaller." Yinhua Niang was startled, forced a smile and said, "I've heard people say it." Jin Yanzi wanted to ask again, but at the end of the street, several women came to greet her. They were all wearing long pleated skirts that reached the floor, and they walked gracefully. A slender woman opened her arms from a distance and said with a smile: "Third girl, you are only here now, aren't you afraid that you will miss me, sister?" ※※※ It didn't take long for Yinhuaniang to know that this tall and plump woman with a slightly elongated duck egg face and a few white pockmarks was Tang Qi, the aunt who was the head of the Tang family village. Later, Yinhua Niang asked Jin Yanzi quietly, "This Second Sister Tang is capable and beautiful, why doesn't she have a husband's family yet?" Jin Yanzi sighed: "She also has a hard life. She promised someone twice, but before she got married, her unmarried husband died, so some people said behind her back that she was too capable and her fate was too hard. When this word reached her ears, she was so annoyed that she swore in front of the ancestral tablet that she would never marry again." Now, the second aunt of the Tang family was talking, smiling, and praising the beauty of Jin Yanzi, the "new younger sister". She was holding a white silk scarf in her hand, and when she saw a lump of writing paper or a piece of fruit peel on the road, she picked it up and wrapped it in the silk scarf. Only then did Yinhuaniang realize why the Tangjiazhuang was so clean, and laughed to herself that it was lucky she hadn't married, otherwise her husband would really suffer. Walking beside Tang Qi, always smiling but not speaking, was Tang Wushuang's eldest daughter-in-law, Tang Xing's wife Li Peiling. She has a round face, round eyes, and her wrists are as round as tender lotus root. She looks virtuous and rich, and she is the standard daughter-in-law of everyone. Tang Qi's younger sister, Tang Lin, is a fragile girl with a pair of big dark and heavy eyes that always seem to have a touch of melancholy. Yinhuaniang knew that these three were the most important members of the Tang family, and she didn't need to pay attention to the other cousins, cousins, third aunts, and third sisters-in-law. Cross the main street and come to a gravel road, a forest suddenly appeared in front of it, and there was half a red wall and a few rafters of green tiles among the trees. This is where the old man Wushuang enjoys peace and happiness. The second aunt threw the silk scarf that was almost full into a big bamboo basket, washed her hands in the stream flowing around the red wall, and then said with a smile: "The old man is taking a nap, I don't think you need to." I went to see him, so I might as well go to my sister-in-law's room first, I know she still has two bottles of her own rose water, let's drink it up first and then talk about it." Li Peiling pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Look at this female devil, there are two bottles of wine in her house, and she has calculated them clearly. Is this okay?" Tang Qi giggled and said, "To tell you the truth, I have long been greedy looking at those two bottles of wine. If I don't take advantage of a visitor from afar today, I will count them out. When my eldest brother comes back, I am afraid that even the bottles will be sold." Swallowed by him." Jin Yanzi had already laughed so hard that her branches trembled, and Yinhua Niang couldn't help laughing too. She couldn't help being a little surprised, how could these girls from the aristocratic families in central Sichuan speak so well of Beijing movies, and it was only later that she found out that Tang Wushuang's wife was a famous girl from the capital. In short, as soon as she entered the gate of the Tang family, her eyes, ears, and mouth were not idle. She didn't miss anything in her eyes, and she didn't miss any news in her ears. Her mouth was constantly flattering. She kept asking, but no matter how much she asked, she still couldn't figure out where the second son of the Tang family, Jin Huaniang's lover Tang Jue, had gone. She tried her best to curry favor with Jin Yanzi, just to ask Jin Yanzi to take her to Tangjiazhuang, and she wanted to go to Tangjiazhuang only because of Tang Jue. ※※※ In just two days, Yinhuaniang had gotten to know the girls of the Tang family very well. She selected some of the most precious and unique jewels from the boxes and gave them to Tang Qi, Tang Lin and Li Peiling selected dozens of rare but precious ones, and distributed them to every big girl and daughter-in-law she met. Therefore, anyone who has seen her now, no matter in front of or behind them, is praising Jin Yanzi, the beautiful "new younger sister". She had also met Tang Wushuang, and she knew that the old man would not recognize her. Most people who have seen the "Three Mistresses of Qionghua" were either stunned or attracted by their strange costumes, few of them remembered their faces. She had seen almost everyone in the Tang family, but she hadn't seen Tang Jue. Almost no one in the Tang family had mentioned the flirtatious second son. She has been to almost every place in Tangjiazhuang, except for a cave under the rock of the back mountain, but every time she pretends to go there unintentionally, she is blocked by people far away. Later, she finally discovered that this cave turned out to be the place where the Tang family tempered their world-renowned poison hidden weapon, and no one would ever want to take a step beyond it. This evening, it was Mrs. Tang's turn to be the host again. Of course, she had already drank up the two bottles of rose water, but the Daqu in the cellar was not bad. Daqu wine is strong and extremely spicy. It is not a wine for women to drink. These girls are as bold as men. Although they eat food in small bites, they insist on drinking in big bowls. The moonlight was very bright that night, and there was a fragrance of osmanthus in the small courtyard. The moonlight shone in through the fine screen window, and people who hadn't drunk would be drunk by the moonlight. After Tang Qi drank, she became more eloquent, and even Li Peiling talked more. When the old sisters met, they and Jin Yanzi seemed to have endless things to say. Only Yinhuaniang didn't drink much, firstly she didn't think drinking with women was interesting, and secondly, she thought she should stay sober all the time. She didn't come to drink. Tang Lin didn't drink much either. In her big deep eyes, the melancholy became heavier every day. She was lazy all day long, and couldn't lift her spirits when doing anything—this little girl who had never been out of the boudoir, What can't you think about in your heart? Tang Qi suddenly stared at Jin Yanzi and said, "Third girl, how old are you this year?" Jin Yanzi smiled coquettishly: "Why do you ask this? Do you want to go on a blind date with me? It's a pity that you are not a man, otherwise I would really like to marry you." Tang Qi drank a glass of wine and said, "I know you were born in March, and you are in your early twenties this year, right?" Jin Yanzi said: "Yes." Tang Qi said: "A girl in her twenties who doesn't have a husband's family is really dangerous." Jin Yanzi blushed, and spat: "Why are you worrying for me instead of worrying about yourself?" Tang Qi drank another glass of wine and sighed: "I will never marry again in my life, but you can't, women always want to marry. When you reach my age, you will know how terrible loneliness is." gone." Jin Yanzi's eyes couldn't help dimming, but she said with a smile: "Our second aunt finally spoke the truth today." Tang Qi held the wine glass in her hand, and said quietly: "I'm in front of you, what are you pretending to be? I don't want to marry anyone by nature, but now... now who do you think I can marry? I can't be high, low of……" She raised her wine glass, and "Gudu" drank it down in one gulp. Li Peiling smiled and said, "Really, Sanmei, do you have a sweetheart right now? That Master Swordsman..." Jin Yanzi yelled: "Don't mention him, if you mention him, I can't even drink alcohol." Li Peiling said: "You suddenly hate him so much, do you have someone else in your heart?" Jin Yanzi blushed, and said with a charming smile, "Not really." Tang Qi yelled: "I know you have it. You can't deceive anyone like this. Who? Tell me who it is, and get it right? Otherwise, I'll see if I can spare you." She smiled and tickled Jin Yanzi. Jin Yanzi dodged with a smile, hid behind Tang Lin, and said with a coquettish smile, "Fourth sister is not young, why don't you ask her if she has a sweetheart?" Tang Lin stood up suddenly, and said calmly, "I didn't provoke you, so don't pester me." While she was talking, she walked out without looking back. Jin Yanzi was stunned, and said: "Fourth sister lost her temper?" Tang Qi said: "Don't pay attention to her, this girl seems to be possessed by a demon recently, and I don't know what's on her mind?" Li Peiling smiled softly: "A girl at her age, who doesn't care? I'll go out and have a look at her." Yinhua Niang rolled her eyes, stood up first, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is busy, let me go." Li Peiling thought for a while, and said: "You can go, the fourth brother can talk to you, just remember to come back soon, I ordered vegetarian Chaoshou boiled in clear chicken soup, waiting for you to eat when you come back." ※※※ Outside the door, the sweet-scented osmanthus is even more fragrant. Tang Lin stood under the osmanthus tree, the shadow of the osmanthus branches covered her face, she stood motionless, like a ghost under the moon. Yinhua Niang walked over in no hurry, she was also wandering under the moonlight, the moonlight reflected the bluestone slabs in the yard like a mirror, and there was also a moon in the mirror. She turned her eyes, suddenly sighed a long time, and said leisurely: "Life, speaking of it, is really boring. Although the moonlight is bright and the osmanthus seeds are fragrant, it only adds a little bit of loneliness to life." She guessed that Tang Lin was too busy to talk now, so she purposely talked about the loneliness and boredom of life... These words really reached Tang Lin's heart, she couldn't help turning her head around, staring at Yinhua Niang for a long time, and finally said quietly: "People like you can go wherever they want, How can you feel lonely? Only a bird in a cage knows the feeling of loneliness most clearly." Yinhua Niang sighed again, and said: "My good sister, you are still young, and you don't know what loneliness is. Some people are more lonely than anyone else even though they are talking and joking with others every day. Sitting alone all day, but as long as he thinks that there is someone thinking about him in the distance, he will not feel lonely." Tang Lin was silent for a while, then nodded lightly and said: "Yes, people who have never tasted loneliness can't say such words, but... But when you think of someone far away, how do you know that he is thinking of you? ?” Yinhua Niang said: "I don't know, no one will know this kind of thing, this is the pain of life..." Tang Lin lowered her head gloomyly, and said quietly: "Yes, this is the pain of life." Yinhua Niang said: "A long, long time ago, I met a boy named Zou Yulang. Although I only met him once, I thought about him day and night, but he...he was afraid that he would not even touch me. I don't even know the name." She knows that if you want a girl to tell the secret in your heart, the best way is to tell your own secret first. So she made up a name, made up a story. Tang Lin's body really trembled, and after a while, she couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Have you traveled many places?" Yinhua Niang said: "Yes." Tang Lin said, "Have you met many people?" Yinhua Niang smiled wryly, "Too many." Tang Lin lowered her head, apparently struggling in her heart. She was silent for a long time before she made a decision. She looked up at Yinhua Niang and said word by word, "Do you know someone, he...his name is Yu Peiyu." Yu Peiyu, it's Yu Peiyu again, Yinhua Niang's heart almost jumped out of her chest, but she didn't show any emotion on her face, she smiled and said: "You haven't left Tangjiazhuang, how can you recognize Yu Peiyu?" Tang Lin said softly: "A few days ago, he came here." Yinhua Niang couldn't help but lost her voice: "He came here a few days ago?" Tang Lin bit her lip and said, "He came to look for my father. On that day, my sister-in-law and eldest sister happened to go out to see off my elder brother. I was the only one at home. He talked with my father for a long time, and my father suddenly wanted to go out, as if he was going to find someone for him. Alone, so...so, just ask me to go in and chat with him about family matters..." The moonlight leaked from the branches and leaves, and shone on her face, and shone on her eyes, her face was red, and her eyes were as bright as stars. Yinhua Niang listened quietly, never interrupting her. 只见她出了半天神,接着道:“我本来不喜欢和陌生人说话,但在他面前,我却觉得无拘无束,他的一举一动都是那么温柔,他说出来的话,更是充满了了解与同情,那时,他好像受了很重的伤,但他却绝不露出丝毫痛苦之色,为的只是不愿我见了难受,他无论什么事,处处都先为别人着想。” 她轻轻叙说着,就好像做梦似的。 银花娘又忍不住问道:“后来呢?” 唐琳道:“后来家父回来,我只好回去,但我……我以为第二天总还会见到他的,谁知他……他半夜里就走了,家父竟不肯说他要去哪里,只说他曾经多谢我陪他聊天,我……我真怕这一辈子再也见不着他……” 她垂下头,泪珠便滴落在衣襟上。 银花娘缓缓道:“你只不过见到他一面,他就对你如此重要么?” 唐琳道:“你……你还不是只见过那邹玉郎一面?” 银花娘这才想起自己方才编的谎话,眼珠子一转,道:“假如你真的再也见不着他呢?” 唐琳颤声道:“这自然是无可奈何的事,但我……我这一辈子,只怕……只怕却再也不会有快乐的日子了。” 银花娘眼睛盯着她,悠悠道:“假如有人能让你见着他呢?” 唐琳忽然抓紧了银花娘的手,颤声道:“若是有人能让我再见到他,我不惜为这人做任何事……任何事,我这一生从没有为任何事发疯,但现在,我想我已经快发疯了。” 银花娘叹了口气,笑道:“少女的心,这就是少女的心。” 唐琳全身又在颤抖着,手抓得更紧,道:“你……你能不能让我……” 银花娘抽出了手,先不答话,却缓缓兜了个圈子,才悄声道:“我也想见识一件事,你能不能帮我一个忙?” 唐琳道:“你说,只要你说出来。” 银花娘道:“我从小就听人说,唐门淬炼暗器之处,是天下最神秘、最好玩的地方,我做梦都想进去瞧瞧。” 唐琳面色骤然变了,道:“那地方没什么好玩的。” 银花娘悠然道:“你不愿帮我这个忙,也没关系,我要进去吃云吞了。” 唐琳一把拉住她,道:“我若帮你的忙,你……” 银花娘笑道:“我也不会不帮你的。” 唐琳想了想,咬牙道:“好,我带你去,但是不是能成功,我并没有把握,除此之外,你还得答应我,进去绝不动里面任何一样东西。” 银花娘大喜道:“我只要瞧瞧就心满意足了,绝不敢乱动手的。” 唐琳道:“好,咱们现在就走。” 银花娘却又拉住了她,道:“咱们现在要先进去吃云吞,免得她们疑心,我知道那山洞前有个小亭子,等到她们醉了,睡着了时,咱们在亭子里见面。” 唐琳点了点头,目中忽又流下泪来,她在心里呼唤着:“俞佩玉呀,俞佩玉,我这样为着你,你可知道么?” ※※※ 三更时,银花娘就到了那小亭,唐琳却已先在那里等着了,她躲在亭柱的黑影中,远远就向银花娘招手。 这小亭距离那山洞还有很远,但她的行动却已甚是小心,银花娘也知道在这里无论任何人都大意不得的。 只见那山洞前有两条黑衣大汉,在交叉巡逻,山洞里隐隐有灯光透出,除此之外,就瞧不见别的人影。 远处有流水声传来,银花娘知道那是山岩后的一道温泉,据说唐门的毒药暗器,别人之所以仿制不出,就因为此地温泉水质特异,但究竟是不是还有别的原因,江湖中人言人殊,谁也弄不清。 银花娘悄声道:“咱们现在可以进去么?” 唐琳的脸比纸还白,摇头道:“不行,现在防守此洞的,是四师兄唐守方,他为人最是刻板,咱们现在想进去,简直一点希望也没有。” 银花娘立刻沉下了脸,冷冷道:“既是如此,咱们就回去吧。” 唐琳悄声道:“但幸好这里守卫的人,是每天晚上三更时换班,咱们不妨再等等,下一班若是轮到大师兄或七师哥,就好办了,这两人最好说话。” 银花娘展颜一笑,不再说话。 过了半晌,唐琳忍不住道:“你也认得俞……公子。” 银花娘道:“嗯。” 唐琳咬起了嘴唇,道:“你……你是怎么认得他的?” 银花娘笑道:“你放心,我和他只是普通朋友,我早巳另有心上人了。” 唐琳苍白的脸,立刻飞红起来,也垂头不再说话。 又过了半晌,银花娘也忍不住道:“听说他最近脸上被人伤了,不知可是真的?” 唐琳叹道:“不错,他脸上的确有条刀疤,他告诉我,这是被一个世上最狡猾、最狠毒的女人所伤的。” 银花娘恨得牙痒痒的,嘴里却笑道:“若不是狠毒的女人,又怎舍得伤了他。” 唐琳忽又嫣然一笑,道:“这女人若是想将他容貌毁去,只怕是要失望了。” 银花娘道:“哦!” 唐琳道:“他脸上多了这条刀疤,非但一点也不难看,反而增加了他的男性气概,我想,他脸上没有受伤时,一定会有些脂粉气,绝不会有现在这么好看。” 银花娘几乎气炸了肺,暗暗咬着牙,却笑道:“这只怕就叫做情人眼里出西施了。” 就在这时,只听一阵整齐的脚步声传了过来。 接着,小路上就出现了两行人影,竟有二三十个之多,两人一排,头尾四人手中,各各提着盏红灯笼。 一个矮矮胖胖的人,走在最前面,身上并没有带着兵刃,腰畔却鼓起了一大块,显然带的暗器不少。 唐琳展颜道:“咱们运气不错,来换班的果然是我七师哥。” 银花娘道:“这小胖子就是你七师哥?” 唐琳道:“我这七师哥人虽和气,但武功却是一等一的身手,江湖中人都称他为'千手弥陀',唐家庄的人,除了我大哥和大师兄外,只怕就要数他声名最响了。” 银花娘笑道:“这倒看不出,他看来简直就像个酒楼掌柜似的。” 唐琳也忍不住笑道:“他不当值的时候,本来就做酒楼掌柜的,不但到这里来拜庄的人,都由他接待,到这里来捣蛋的,也得先过他这一关。” 这初入情网的少女,自从知道自己有希望再见到心上人后,心情已开朗起来,话也不觉多了。 只见这“千手弥陀”唐守清走到洞外,就停下脚步,从怀里拿出个黑黝黝的牌子,交给洞口巡弋的大汉。 那大汉躬身一礼,转身奔入,过了半晌,就有个同字脸、黑胡子、气势威猛的彪形大汉,大步走了出来。 唐守清迎上去笑道:“四师兄辛苦了。” 唐守方目光一转,沉声道:“来的为什么只有二十九个人?” 唐守清赔笑道:“小虎子的老婆生孩子,小弟答应让他在家歇一天。” 唐守方寒着脸道:“生娃儿也算不了什么大事,唐家庄哪天没有人生娃儿,你师嫂生小娃时,我还不是照样要当值。” 唐守清垂头笑道:“这是小弟的错……” 唐守方哼了一声,道:“这次也就算了,下个月却要罚他多当三次班,但今天的人手缺了一个,还是不可以。” 唐守清赔笑道:“这里已有十三年没有出过事了,少个把人又有什么关系?” 唐守方厉声道:“老七,你这就不对了,就算一万年没有出事,我兄弟还是不能疏忽的,别人不敢闯到这里来,岂非就是因为这里的防守森严。” 唐守清垂头道:“是。” 唐守方目光又一转,指着洞口一条大汉道:“你昨天当值吃饭时,偷偷喝了两口酒,我本想回去才罚你,现在有这件事,你就代小虎子多当一天班吧。” 那大汉立刻躬身道:“是。” 唐守方这才挥了挥手,于是“千手弥陀”带来的二十九条大汉,就一个跟着一个地从他面前走进洞去。 接着,就听得山洞里响起了一片呼喝声,铁栅开闭声,又有二十九条大汉鱼贯着走出来,排成两列。 唐守方又将这二十九人仔细点了一遍,凝重的面色,才显得略为轻松了些,转身对着唐守清道:“明天卸班后,就到四哥家来吃饭,你四嫂春天里风的鸡,还剩的有两只,她知道你好吃,还留着等你哩。” 唐守清也展颜笑道:“好,小弟带酒去。” 唐守方又挥了挥手,终于带着两行人走了,走了几步,却又回头道:“酒莫要带得太多,免得喝醉了第二天又要喊救命。” 唐守清笑道:“遵命。” ※※※ 这十三年来一直太平无事的地方,到现在仍防守如此严密,银花娘瞧在眼里,也不禁暗暗吃惊,暗暗佩服。 她这才知道蜀中唐门历久不衰的声名,的确不是轻易得来,幸好她未曾轻举妄动,否则此刻只怕就要被人抬着出去了。 等唐守方和他带领的大汉们都走得不见踪影,唐琳才松了口气,拉了拉银花娘衣襟,道:“现在,咱们可以去碰碰运气了。” 她拉着银花娘走到山洞外,巡弋的大汉立刻厉叱道:“什么人?” 唐琳道:“是我,你都瞧不出么?” 那大汉躬身赔笑道:“原来是四姑娘。” 唐琳道:“我有要紧的事要找七师哥……” 她一面说话,一面就想往里走。 谁知那大汉却挡住了她的去路,赔笑道:“请四姑娘恕罪,没有老太爷的吩咐,小人若是让四姑娘进去了,明天小人当真吃罪不起。” 唐琳只有停下脚步,道:“既是如此,你就把七师哥找出来吧,行不行。” 那大汉竟还是要犹疑半晌,才躬身道:“是。” 但这时已用不着他进去找了,唐守清已笑嘻嘻地迎了出来,圆圆的眼睛在银花娘身上一转,笑道:“四妹你怎地把贵客带到这种地方来了,却叫我如何招待?” 银花娘抿着嘴一笑,又膘了他一眼,才低下头去。 唐琳笑着道:“你知道她是贵客?你已知道她是谁了?” 唐守清笑道:“前两天我就听说干姑奶奶带了位妹妹来,把大嫂的玫瑰露也喝了,我虽然嘴馋,但二姑奶奶不请我,我可不敢去闯她的席。” 唐琳笑道:“难怪二姐总说七师哥是耳报神,庄子里大大小小的事,果然,没有一件能瞒得过你的。” 唐守清道:“你莫拍我马屁,你又想着我什么了?” 唐琳道:“我只问你,我既把贵客带来了,你想该怎么招待她?” 唐守清苦笑道:“我早就说过,这里没有招待客人的东西,但是,后天中午我一定好好准备一桌鱼翅席,只看姑娘们肯不肯赏光而已。” 唐琳道:“人家才不稀罕你的鱼翅席哩。” 她忽然拉起唐守清的袖子,笑着道:“她只想进去观光观光,七师哥你就行个方便吧,上次二姐带客人来,你还不是放进去了么?你既答应过二姐,也就该答应我,否则我就再也不理你了,下次炸了田鸡,也不找你去吃。” 唐守清叹了口气,道:“我一瞧见你,就知道你是为什么来的了,否则为什么早不来,迟不来,等我一接了四师哥的班,就立刻赶来。” 银花娘噗哧一笑,悄悄向唐琳道:“我早就知道瞒不过他的,不如还是把二姐找来吧。” 她这话明虽是向唐琳说,其实自然是说给唐守清听的,她声音说得虽小,却刚好能让唐守清听到。 唐守清只有苦笑道:“我见了二小姐害怕,见了四小姐难道就不怕么?四小姐的心眼儿,比二小姐还要多十倍哩。” 他长长作了个揖,道:“两位姑娘就请快进去,快出来吧,只要老老实实地跟着我,不乱走,不乱动,我就算承了两位姑娘的情了。” ※※※ 从远处看,这山洞根本就没有门,但一走到洞口,便可瞧见深深嵌入石壁里的三道铁栅。 就凭这三道铁栅栏,已不是任何人所能闯进去的了,那粗大的铁枝,沉重得简直像是无法移动。 但唐守清只不过在石壁上轻轻按了按,铁栅便立刻奇迹般滑失在石壁里,全没有发出丝毫声音。 ※※※ 从铁栅间望进去,已可发现这山洞形势的险峻,每一块突起的山石后,几乎都有条黑衣大汉石像般木立在那里。 走过这三道铁栅,一个人的心情更会不由自主地沉重紧张起来,既像是走入了一间阴森的古刹,又像是走入了一片原始森林,自己会忽然莫名其妙地觉得自己变得十分渺小,四面八方都像是充满了不可预测的危险。 银花娘叹了口气,悄声道:“其实用不着别人吩咐,在这种地方,又有谁敢乱走乱动呢?” 唐琳撇了撇嘴,道:“若不是为了陪你,这种鬼地方请我我都不来。” 她嘴里虽说这是“鬼地方”,但却掩不住神色间的得意之色,只因这地方已不仅是唐姓子弟心目中的神殿,几乎也已成了江湖中人心目中的圣地,这正是唐家每一个人都深深引以为傲的。 深黝曲折的洞穴,本该十分阴森,但在这里,越往里走却越热,接着,便可以听到潺潺流水声。 再转过一个弯,银花娘眼前豁然开朗。 曲折的洞穴,到了这里突然开展,这山腹中竟是空的,巨大的、圆形的穹顶,离地至少有数十丈,周围方圆更不知有几百丈,一个人站在山洞的这边用力呼喊,等他闭起嘴时,声音才能传得到那边。 奇怪的是,这里虽是山腹,却有条小溪自洞中流过,溪水是浊黄色的,居然还在腾腾地冒着热气。 沿着这条溪水,摆着数十具形式奇古的铜炉,每个铜炉间,又都隔着一架半由天然、半由人工塑成的石屏风。 此刻每具铜炉旁,都有两条精赤着上身的大汉在铁砧上敲打着,他们所用的铁锤并不大,打造的东西显得很小,但他们面色沉重,却像是承担着千斤重量似的,全身精力都不敢有丝毫松弛。 第一个火炉间的人,制成一样东西后,便投入一个悬在溪水中的竹篓里,流动的溪水,将这样东西冲激盏茶时分后,第二个火炉间的人,便将这竹篓钩过去,再继续敲打加工。 这样经过五次加工后制成的东西,再放入溪水中冲激三盏茶工夫,便由一条黑衣大汉集中在一齐,送到沿着山壁建成的一排石屋那边去。 石屋的门口,却悬着帘子,里面偶尔也有敲打声传出,门帘一掀,才可以瞧见石屋里的人。 石屋里的人大多数须发俱已苍白,每个人都坐在一张上面摆满了零碎铁器的桌子旁。 他们工作得更专心,神情更凝重,对外界的万事万物,似乎都已不闻不问。 他们的世界,他们的生命,就全都在他们手里所捏着的那一件件小铁丝、小铁片上。 “蜀中唐门”名震天下,威名垂三百年不坠的暗器,就是他们手里的这些铁丝铁片拼造出来的。 ※※※ 银花娘已完全瞧得愣住了。 她从未梦想到制成一件暗器的手续,竟是如此繁重,唐琳瞧着她的神情,忍不住抿嘴一笑,道:“你瞧够了么?” 银花娘拉起她的手,悄笑道:“好妹子,你莫要笑我,我现在就好像刘伶入了天台,只觉得眼花缭乱,也不知道该怎么说才好了。” 唐琳道:“我怎么会笑你,每个人初到这里来,都会变成你这副样子的,因为谁也不会想到,造一件小小的暗器,也会如此麻烦。” 银花娘笑道:“谁说不是呢,我可是真糊涂死了。” 唐琳想了想,自怀中取出了件黝黑无光的暗器来,这暗器乍看像朵花,再看像个针团,仔细一看却又什么都不像了。 唐琳道:“你知道这是什么?” 银花娘瞪大了眼睛道:“我……不知道。” 唐琳道:“这就是江湖中人人见了都头疼的唐家铁蒺藜,铁蒺藜本不是什么特别的厉害暗器,唐家的铁蒺藜特别厉害,就是因为它制造的方法不同。” 银花娘故意道:“我倒看不出有什么不同地方来。” 唐琳道:“别人造铁蒺藜,都是先造好个模子,再把铁汁倒进去,等到铁汁冷却凝固,就算造成了。” 银花娘道:“那么你们家的呢?” 唐琳道:“我家的铁蒺藜,却要先打好一片片比瓜子壳还小的铁叶子,然后再一片片拼凑成的,它一打进入的身体,铁叶子就立刻散开,你若想将这暗器起出来,就非得将那一大块肉都挖出来不可。” 银花娘变色道:“唷,那可不疼死人么。” 唐琳微笑道:“若是真能救命,疼一疼也算不得什么,只可惜你就算能把这暗器挖出来,还是救不了命的。” 银花娘皱眉道:“为什么?” 唐琳道:“只因这暗器本是一十三片铁叶子拼成的,不但每片铁叶子上都淬了毒,而且每片铁叶子上淬的毒都不同,十三种毒性一见血就发作,那是神仙也救不活的。” 银花娘听唐琳说唐家暗器的厉害情形,不由倒抽了口凉气,道:“难怪江湖中人都说宁可遇到鬼,也不愿遇着唐家的暗器了。” 唐琳道:“在唐家的七种厉害的暗器里,这铁蒺藜算是最普通的,最简单的一种哩,铁蒺藜只不过是十三片铁叶子拼成的,还有的却得要七八十种东西才拼得成,譬如说,九天十地神针的针筒……制造这种针筒的法子,至今还是江湖中一个最大的秘密。” 银花娘目光转动,道:“所以你们才要将这些制造暗器的人,都分隔起来,为的就是怕他们将这秘密泄露是么?” 唐琳
