Chapter 17 Seventeenth go back and come back

The small building where Yinhuaniang and others lived was shaken by the fire bombs. She couldn't help but moved, "Could this be the weapon used by the Thunderbolt Hall in the south of the Yangtze River to intimidate the world?" Guo Pianxian sighed: "That's right, although the power of this firearm is not as amazing as the momentum, but if you and I were affected just now, even if we are not smashed to pieces, we will be devastated." Zhu Lei'er turned her head and smiled, and said: "You should know by now. Although my third uncle borrowed this girl's skills for eleven years, he saved four of your lives. You have not suffered from this deal."

The window had just been broken, Zhu Lei'er was talking and drew up the curtains on all sides, as if she didn't want people outside to see what was going on in the house. The patient retracted his hands under the quilt again, and his face gradually turned pale. If everyone hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe that such a person had such amazing skills just now. Yu Peiyu couldn't help but said: "Then what kind of hatred does Yu Fanghe have with Your Excellency?" The patient said indifferently: "He is not worthy." Yu Peiyu said: "Since that's the case, why did he decide to put Your Excellency to death?"

The patient said: "How do you know that he is not going to deal with you?" Yu Peiyu sighed: "Yu Fanghe didn't go to play chess elsewhere, but he chose to come to this remote town. I thought it was a bit strange, but now I know that he came here for Your Excellency." The patient closed his eyes again and ignored him. Yu Peiyu said: "Also, it's also strange that your Excellency is not recuperating elsewhere, but you want to stay in this remote town. I really can't guess what is so attractive about this town." The patient ignored him at all, and Yu Peiyu couldn't continue talking.

After a long while, I suddenly heard Zhu Lei'er say slowly: "They are not going to deal with my third uncle, but me." Yu Peiyu said in amazement: "You are young, why do they want to deal with you?" Zhu Lei'er smiled and said, "Am I still young?" Yu Peiyu said: "Even though this person surnamed Yu is a beast in clothes, but as the leader of the martial arts alliance, how could he work so hard to deal with a little child." Zhu Lei'er sneered and said, "The leader of the martial arts? What is he, the leader of the martial arts? Let alone my third uncle, even I have never put him in my eyes."

The Huangchi Assembly has ruled the world's martial arts bulls for decades, the leader of the assembly, and the heroes of the world dare to disrespect, but now this little girl doesn't pay attention to it. Is this girl's status more noble than the leader of the martial arts?Yu Peiyu is getting more and more strange. He still wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly he heard Yinhua Niang cheering: "Let's go, these people have all gone, gone clean, not one left." Guo Pianxian lifted the curtains and saw that there was no one outside. Zhu Lei'er said lightly: "What's so strange about this, these people only found that my third uncle's martial arts has recovered, so they dare to stay here and wait for death."

Even people like Yu Fanghe and Jun Haitang seem to be really afraid of this patient, what is the identity of this patient. Yu Peiyu was both surprised and curious, but at this time Guo Pianxian had already picked up Zhong Jing and said, "We should go too." Zhu Lei'er said coldly: "By the way, if you don't leave now, when will you stay?" Yu Peiyu said: "But if they go and come back, you..." Zhu Lei'er proudly said: "Do you need to take care of my third uncle's affairs? As for me... I live or die, and I don't need others to worry about it."

Zhong Jing said in a trembling voice: "Since that's the case, why do you want...to...steal my martial arts?" Zhu Lei'er said coldly: "You came to beg us, we didn't look for you, and you can't blame others." Zhong Jing was startled, then burst into tears again. The patient suddenly said softly: "It's not easy for them, give them the things." Zhu Lei'er said: "But these things are originally mine, why should I give them?" The patient frowned and said: "Mere jewelry, what is it? Why are you getting more and more dumb."

Zhu Lei'er lowered her head and said, "Yes!" She didn't speak anymore, but took out a bundle from the closet, and threw it in front of Yinhuaniang, a corner of the bundle was loosened, and the light was faintly revealed, and it turned out to be exactly what Yinhuaniang had lost. Although Yinhuaniang was full of surprises, but He didn't dare to talk anymore, he was stunned for a long time, he lifted his burden, and rushed downstairs like flying. ※※※ Who is this patient?Why are Yu Fanghe and others so afraid of him?What is Zhu Lei'er's identity?Why do so many martial arts masters come to deal with such a little girl like her?And even the majestic red lotus is among them, how can the red lotus be a bully?

What disease is this patient suffering from?Why recuperate in this remote town?His skill has not yet recovered, and Yu Fanghe and others will not go far. He should have kept Yu Peiyu and others, but why did he let them go lightly? Yu Peiyu was full of doubts in her heart, and Yinhua Niang couldn't help muttering to herself, "It's strange, why did the consumptive ghost give me back the jewels he got? Why did he let us go so easily? Could it be that he is right? We really have no intention?" As she spoke, she rushed forward. In this small town bathed in sunlight, every house had its doors and windows tightly closed, and no one could be seen.

But Guo Pianxian took two steps, but suddenly blocked her way. Yinhua Niang hurriedly hid the bag of jewels behind her back, changed color and said, "What do you want to do?" Guo Pianxian sighed, and said: "It's a woman after all, even a woman like you is unavoidably petty. At this moment, how could I still plan on your bag of jewels?" Yinhua Niang rolled her eyes, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Since you know that women are very stingy, why do you block their way again? Don't you want to go out quickly, don't you want to wait for the red lotus to come to you again?"

Guo Pianxian said coldly: "I naturally want to leave quickly, but I don't want to be carried out." Yinhua Niang glanced at Zhong Jing, and said with a coquettish smile, "I really want to be carried away by you, but it's a pity that your hands are no longer free." Guo Pianxian said: "If you keep rushing forward at this moment, are you afraid that no one will carry you?" Yinhua Niang rolled her eyes again, and said, "You mean... we can't leave now?" Guo Pianxian said: "You and I don't want to step out of this small town right now!" Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "Don't you think that I really like it so much that I'm dizzy, I also know that Yu Fanghe and the others will never go far, most likely they have surrounded this town, so now there are ghosts in this town Not a single one in sight." Guo Pianxian said slowly: "But you are sure that they have no grievances or enmities with you, and they will never let you go. As long as you can go out by yourself, others will not care, right?" Yinhua Niang smiled and said: "I am a petty and ignorant woman, what else can you tell me to do? You majestic men will never ask me to take care of you." Guo Pianxian laughed loudly and said: "Good friend, good friend...you can say such selfish and disregarding moral words so beautifully. Fortunately, you are not a man, otherwise it would be strange if you didn't get slaughtered." Yinhua Niang giggled and said: "I know you won't kill me, even if you want to keep me, our benevolent Mr. Yu will never let you do it." Guo Pianxian said: "If you want to leave, I will never stop you." Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "Oh, I never thought that you are also a benevolent person..." Guo Pianxian cut off coldly: "But you carry such a big bag of jewels, will others let you go out?" Yinhua Niang seemed to be kicked by someone, and she was about to fall down. Guo Pianxian continued leisurely: "So, if you want to leave, it is inevitable that you will leave this bag of jewels... Wouldn't this be equivalent to killing you?" Yinhua Niang suddenly jumped up, stomped her feet and said: "I know now, the tuberculosis ghost is holding me back when he returns the jewelry to me, and won't let me go. This man has only one breath left, but he still has so many evil ideas." .” Yu Peiyu couldn't help but said: "If you think he is harming you, why don't you return the jewelry to him." Yinnianghua stomped her feet and said, "Of course he's sure I can't bear it..." She suddenly smiled again, her eyes moved, and she said with a charming smile: "Even if I don't have this bag of jewels, how can I be willing to leave you alone? I was just joking with you." Guo Pianxian said coldly: "This joke is really funny." Yinnianghua looked up at him, as if leaning her whole body on him, and said softly, "Say, shall we go back now?" Guo Pianxian said: "You and I are lucky to be able to get out of the body, how can we go back?" He would rather face the red lotus than face the mysterious patient again. Yinhua Niang said: "We can neither go in nor retreat, what should we do? Should we find another room to hide in? If we meet such a patient again, it will be fatal." Guo Pianxian smiled and said, "The place I'm looking for this time, there will never be anyone..." Yinhua Niang said: "Where?" Guo Pianxian said: "That's the inn." Yinhua Niang smiled coquettishly: "You are so smart, since those people have withdrawn from the inn, they probably won't go back again, then the inn must be the safest place in this small town, but..." She glanced at Yu Peiyu, bit her lips and said with a smile: "Our Mr. Yu, will he accompany us to hide?" Guo Pianxian said: "He will definitely go." Yinhua Niang said: "Oh?" Guo Pianxian said: "Yu Fanghe and others saw that there was no movement here for a long time, and they are bound to make a comeback. You and I hid in that inn, just sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight." He smiled and continued: "Brother Yu is full of suspicion at the moment, and he will not leave until the truth of this matter is revealed...Brother Yu, what do you think?" Yu Peiyu smiled faintly and said, "Besides, I don't have anywhere to go right now." ※※※ Sure enough, there was no one in the inn, even the shopkeeper and waiter in the inn disappeared, as if even they had already seen that there was going to be a disaster here soon. Guo Pianxian was the first to lead the way, neither hid in the guest room, nor went to the room where Yu Fanghe lived just now, but walked into the kitchen. The fire in the kitchen was about to go out, a large pot of porridge on the stove was burnt, there were a few half-cut pickles on the chopping board, and the peeled preserved eggs in the bowl were not cleaned. Yinhua Niang looked around and said with a smile: "The people in this inn must have left in a hurry, and they didn't even care about breakfast. Could it be that Yu Fanghe drove them away?" Guo Pianxian said: "Yu Fanghe doesn't need to drive them away. After the chaos just now, do they still dare to stay in this place?" Yinhua Niang said with a coquettish smile: "Recently people die in this inn all the time, I'm afraid the owner of the inn may have some bad luck..." As she was talking, she had already hidden her burden in a pile of firewood, and went to add more. Bowl of porridge, eat it with pickles. Guo Pianxian also added another bowl, and put it in front of Zhong Jing first, and said with a smile, "You should eat some too. Although this porridge is burnt, it must not be poisonous." Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "I have never eaten porridge that is more fragrant than this in my life, you..." Before he finished speaking, Zhong Jing knocked the porridge in Guo Pianxian's hand to the ground. Zhong Jing burst into tears and said: "I am already half dead, I know you will definitely leave me behind, I... I don't want to eat porridge, I might as well starve to death." Guo Pianxian remained calm, but said softly: "I know you are in a bad mood, but what is it if you lose some martial arts? I don't want you to be a bodyguard and performer to support me. Do you know how to use martial arts again?" what relationship?" Zhong Jing said in a trembling voice: "You don't need to be false to me. Let me ask you. You told me that you have broken up with Jun Haitang. Why don't you dare to see her now? What are you afraid of?" Guo Pianxian's complexion immediately changed, and at this moment, someone suddenly coughed, and the four people in the room immediately fell silent. In the silence, one could vaguely hear soft footsteps outside the door—the back door of the inn was next to the stove, but the footsteps seemed to be walking towards the back door. Guo Pianxian looked out from the crack of the door, and saw two people walking over quietly, one was covering his mouth, it was obvious that he just coughed. This man was tall and thin, with a fair and clean face, and a long sword was stabbed obliquely behind his back. The blood-red fringe of the sword looked particularly glaring against the light blue clothes on his body. The other person is also thin and strong, with sharp eyes, Guo Pianxian took a look at them and knew that the two were both masters of the world. The two left and right, separated by a few feet, walked very carefully, presumably they came to investigate the movement, so they were afraid of alarming the terrible patient in the small building. Guo Pianxian's eyes flickered, and he suddenly opened the door and smiled at them. The two of them were startled, and Guo Pianxian had already retreated quietly. But the door was already open, swaying with the wind, making a "squeak" sound, Guo Pianxian lowered his voice, and said slowly: "Why don't you two come in?" Yinhuaniang knew that he was going to lure two people in from outside, and asked Yu Fanghe what was going on there. These two people came here to inquire about the news, but now they were being tricked, Yinhuaniang couldn't help but secretly amused Guo Pianxian was even more sure that when the two saw someone in the kitchen, even if they took risks, they had to come in and find out. Unexpectedly, after a while, the two people outside still didn't come in, there was almost no sound at all, Yinhua Niang felt strange again, and whispered: "Why are these two people so courageous?" Guo Pianxian said in a deep voice: "I recognize one of them as the 'Red Cherry and Green Willow Sword' Guo Chong from the Diancang Sect. This person is quite famous in Guizhou and Guizhou, so he is not shy..." A gust of wind blew open the old wooden door. Those two people couldn't even see their shadows. Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "I think the courage of this 'Red Cherry Green Willow Sword' is not much bigger than Cherry." Guo Pianxian frowned, then looked out, only to find that Zhu Lei'er had walked down the small building at some point and was picking flowers there. A branch of sweet-scented osmanthus sticks out from the short wall, and the flowers are in full bloom. Zhu Lei'er raised her head, stood on tiptoe, held up the flower branch with her small hands, her sleeves suddenly slid down, revealing her wrists, which were pitifully white. "Red Cherry Green Willow Sword" Guo Chong and the man in green also walked over, standing motionless behind Zhu Lei'er, staring at him bewilderedly. Zhu Lei'er broke off the laurel branch, without turning her head, Yingying walked back to the small building. Guo Chong and the man in green also followed, their faces were full of obsession, as if they had forgotten everything. The more Guo Pianxian looked at it, the more strange he became. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with the two of them. Even though Zhu Lei'er was a beautiful fetus, she was still just a child of eleven or twelve years old. Could it be that two men in their 30s and 40s would be fascinated by her? Seeing Zhu Lei'er walking lightly, her thin clothes fluttering in the wind, her slender body seemed to be going with the wind, but she suddenly looked back and smiled. Her bright eyes seemed to cast a glance at Guo Pianxian intentionally or unintentionally. Guo Pianxian suddenly realized that he almost forgot her age and everything else, he could only see the swaying posture of her waist, and could not see anything else. He almost followed her as well. But after all, he has profound skills, his heart was only shaking, and he immediately regained his composure, but Zhu Lei'er had already turned the corner of the wall, and then Guo Chong and the man in Tsing Yi also disappeared behind the wall. Yinhua Niang was also watching, and then she let out a long breath and murmured: "Monster, this little girl is really a monster, she can kidnap such two big men away, when I was her age, I could not But only with men." She smiled "puchi" and said again: "Fortunately, our Mr. Guo has profound skills, otherwise he would almost be abducted by her." Guo Pianxian said coldly: "It's not that I have deep skills, but I see more women than others." Yinhua Niang said with a smile: "But the little girl abducted them, why?" Her voice suddenly stopped, her eyes sparkled, and she lost her voice: "I understand, she is fishing. As long as these two unlucky bastards go upstairs, they will probably be stolen by that consumptive ghost." .” Guo Pianxian said: "Exactly." Yinhua Niang smiled coquettishly: "I never thought that this girl would use beauty tricks to fish at such a young age. These two unlucky bastards fell into her fairy dance in a muddleheaded way." Guo Pianxian looked back at Yu Peiyu and said, "It seems that it is not unreasonable for Hong Lianhua and others to come to her." Yu Peiyu smiled bitterly: "She has done this more than once." Guo Pianxian said: "It looks like she is a seasoned veteran, and I don't know how many people have been hurt, so Yu Fanghe will find so many people to deal with her." Yu Peiyu sighed: "That's right, otherwise people like Hong Lianhua would never accept Yu Fanghe's dispatch." Others don't know this, but he knows it very clearly, because Hong Lianhua also treats this "Yu Fanghe" very well. Fang He" became suspicious. Guo Pianxian smiled and said: "This is indeed interesting. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl has such great supernatural powers. Such a person will never be without background. I'm afraid it will not be easy for Red Lotus to deal with her." Yinhua Niang giggled and said: "Even if she has a great background, she still got a big slap in the face." As she spoke, she raised her hands for a comparison... After the comparison, she felt as if she had been slapped in the face by someone else, and she couldn't laugh, and couldn't continue speaking. Yu Peiyu and Guo Pianxian both looked at her without realizing it, and saw that her face, which was always smiling all day long, had become bloodless at this moment, and her watery eyes were full of horror With a look of fear, he just looked at his hand without blinking. Looking at it, her whole body trembled. Yu Peiyu's and Guo Pianxian's gazes shifted to her hand unconsciously, they only glanced at it, but their faces changed, and there was a look of horror in their eyes. I saw her white and tender, soft as if boneless slender hand, at this moment, it has become like a ghost's claw, with red in black and blue in red. Yu Peiyu said in amazement: "What's going on?" Yinhua Niang tremblingly said: "I... I don't know what's going on, I don't feel it at all, this...how did this hand become like this." Guo Pianxian said: "Can you still move this one?" Yinhua Niang said: "Okay...it seems to be able to move, no...but..." Guo Pianxian suddenly pulled out a piece of firewood, and hit her on the back of her hand with a "thud". She had to grin her teeth, who would have thought that Yinhuaniang didn't even seem to feel a bit of it after being hit. Guo Pianxian frowned and said, "Does it hurt?" Yinhua Niang said: "No...it doesn't hurt." The beating didn't hurt, she should have been happy, but when Yinhuaniang said these two words, tears welled up in her eyes, she felt that her hand had become like wood, like It was no longer her own hand, she saw Guo Pianxian hit it like it was someone else's hand. Guo Pianxian frowned again, he saw the kitchen knife for cutting dried pickles in front of his eyes, he suddenly picked up the kitchen knife, and slashed at the back of Yinhuaniang's hand. Although this kitchen knife is not very sharp, it is still easy to cut off a person's hand. Who knows that when the knife was cut off, there was only a small wound on Yinhua Niang's hand, but there was not even a drop of blood flowing from the wound. , Her hand seemed to be harder than wood. She should be happy that others didn't cut off her hand, but Yinhua Niang was so shocked that her face turned pale and she almost burst into tears. Hearing the sound of "Dang", Guo Pianxian dropped the knife on the ground, shook his head and sighed: "Good girl, your slap in the face is probably causing trouble." Yinhua Niang said: "But...but when I hit her, I didn't feel anything at all." Guo Pianxian smiled wryly and said: "It's this kind of poison that is truly powerful. Before you know it, this poison has penetrated into your blood and your bones. If you had discovered it at that time, wouldn't it be possible to be saved?" Yinhua Niang tremblingly said: "Now...is it hopeless now?" In fact, he himself is also a famous poisoner, so why doesn't he know how deeply he is poisoned at the moment, but when he is in a hurry, he always holds hope in his heart. Guo Pianxian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's hopeless." Yinhua Niang rushed over and said loudly: "I know you will be able to save me, you are also a master of poison, you...you..." She rushed over, Guo Pianxian retreated quickly as if avoiding a snake and scorpion, and said: "Yes, I can indeed be regarded as an ancestor of poison, but I have never seen such a powerful poison... …Good girl, if you are poisoned yourself, don’t hurt others anymore, you’d better go out and find a comfortable place, and sit there obediently waiting to die.” Yinhua Niang's body softened, and she fell down. Yu Peiyu was also horrified in her heart, pushed open the door and said, "Are you coming with me?" Yinhua Niang said: "You...where do you want me to go?" Yu Peiyu said: "Other people can't save you, but the person who poisoned you can always save you." Yinhua Niang jumped up immediately, and said: "Yes, yes, she can definitely save me. I hit her, although she was not happy, but she didn't have any deep hatred with me. As long as I beg her, I will pay for it." No, she won't really kill me either." In fact, she herself knew that things were by no means so simple, but when a person was about to die, naturally she had no choice but to comfort herself. Guo Pianxian said loudly, "Brother Yu, do you still want to take her upstairs?" Yu Peiyu said: "Yes." Guo Pianxian said: "Those two people, one old and one young, are full of evil spirits from head to toe. You have come down so easily. If you go up again this time, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get down." Yu Peiyu smiled lightly and said, "If I want to die, I have already died many times..." Guo Pianxian said: "A woman like her, Brother Yu, are you willing to work so hard for her?" Yu Peiyu said: "When people like Brother Guo are about to die, I will also help them." As he was talking, he had already taken Yinhuaniang far away. Guo Pianxian shook his head and said to himself: "Such a person is very rare, even I can't figure out who he is..." Suddenly Yinhua Niang shouted from a distance: "Red Lotus, Jun Haitang, come quickly, Guo Pianxian is hiding in the kitchen of the inn." Guo Pianxian's complexion changed drastically, she stomped her feet and said, "This woman has a dark heart." He turned his eyes, first picked up Zhong Jing, and then took out the bundle from the woodpile, Zhong Jing looked up at him, with tears streaming down his eyes again, tremblingly said: "I... I have become like this Son, you haven't forgotten me, you...Since you have seen so many women, why do you still treat me so well?" Guo Pianxian said coldly: "If you talk less, I will treat you better." Yinhua Niang shouted and walked, and when she got to the bottom of the small building, she was already out of breath, and seeing Yu Peiyu looking at her, she forced a smile and said: "He is so cruel to me, I don't know what to say." You can't make him feel too good, can you?" Yu Peiyu sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Don't think that I will blame you. I now know that there are many people who are worse than you in the world. You only harm others because others offend you, but some people ..." He paused sadly, turned around and was about to knock on the door. Unexpectedly, someone in the room said: "The door is open, come in by yourself." Yinhua Niang bit her lip and whispered: "It turned out that she had calculated that we would definitely go and return, so she let us go." Her voice was very soft, but the people in the room still heard her. Zhu Lei'er said indifferently: "I said long ago that we never beg for help, we only wait for others to beg us." Yinhua Niang only thought that Zhu Lei'er was behind the door, but who knew that when the door was opened, there was no one in the kitchen downstairs. But Zhu Lei'er's voice came down from upstairs again, saying: "After you come in, don't lock the door, maybe someone will come." Yinhua Niang gritted her teeth and said to herself, "This girl has really good ears." But this time she didn't dare to speak out, followed Yu Peiyu, and went upstairs gently. The curtains on the upstairs were drawn tightly, which seemed eerie. Zhu Lei'er sat on the small chair beside the bed, she didn't even glance at them, she just stared at her third uncle with big eyes. The two people who came upstairs just now, one on the left and the other on the right, were kneeling beside the bed. Both of their hands were held by the patient. Both of them were sweating profusely, and their faces looked extremely terrified, like I really wish I could fly away with my wings on my back, but I can't move half a step. The patient closed his eyes, and his face gradually turned red again. After a long while, a wisp of hot air came out of his head, like boiling water on a stove, and the lid of a steamer was opened. Guo Chong's teeth chattered, and suddenly hissed: "Senior, please forgive me...please forgive me..." His voice became smaller and smaller, until he could hardly hear him anymore. But Zhu Lei'er said leisurely: "My third uncle just borrowed your martial arts to use, and doesn't want your life. It is your blessing that your little kung fu can be transferred to my third uncle..." Before finishing speaking, the patient let go of his hand suddenly, and the two people beside the bed immediately fell on their backs, lying on the ground, panting like cows. Zhu Lei'er immediately wiped the sweat from her third uncle's forehead with a silk scarf, and asked softly, "How are these two people doing?" The patient sighed, and murmured: "In name but in reality...in name but in reality...in today's Jianghu, there are so many people with false names." Zhu Lei'er frowned, and suddenly pointed at those two people and cursed angrily: "You two have lived to such an old age, why don't you know how to practice kung fu well, if you two were willing to work hard in the past, wouldn't you be very glorious today .” She actually asked others to practice kung fu well, and "lend" her third uncle to practice good kung fu. Such unreasonable words made even Yu Peiyu dumbfounded when she heard it. Zhu Lei'er not only spoke eloquently, but also became more and more angry as she spoke, she suddenly raised her foot, no one saw how she kicked it out, but the two people on the ground had already been kicked by her and flew out. It took a while for the window to hear two "plops", presumably it had landed on a distant roof. These two people actually wanted to hit other girls, although they deserved it, but Yu Peiyu couldn't help but secretly sighed when she saw that she was so hot-handed at such a young age. Seeing Yinhuaniang walked over with a lost smile, Wanfu said: "Miss Zhu, I was blind just now and offended you, but I hope you don't take it wrong." Zhu Lei'er said coldly: "Anyway, I'm used to being beaten by others, how dare I blame you." Knowing that she was still angry, Yinhua Niang rolled her eyes, and suddenly knelt down to the patient, tears flowed out immediately, and tremblingly said: "I was a lonely girl since I was a child, if senior is willing to save me One life, from now on, I will be an ox and a horse, and I will spend my whole life here serving my senior's illness." She didn't ask Zhu Lei'er to save her, but instead begged the patient. This is her very cleverness. She knows that men tend to be soft-hearted towards women, especially when they see women's tears, but women are never polite to women. However, as long as the patient agrees to her, Zhu Lei'er will never dare to say "no". The patient really opened his eyes, stared at her for a long while, and suddenly said: "Are you the master of Ecstasy Palace?" When he asked this sentence suddenly, even Yu Peiyu was startled. Yinhua Niang lost her voice: "Senior, why..." She wanted to say: "Senior, how did you know?" Because she has already entered the Palace of Ecstasy, and she has worshiped the last verse on the wall of the owner of the Palace of Ecstasy, so she should be counted as a disciple of Ecstasy. But she suddenly thought that when Palace Master Ecstasy was alive, everyone in the martial arts world would be willing to have it. If she admits to being a disciple of this kind of person, who else will save her? As soon as she thought of this, she immediately retracted the second half of the sentence. But the patient asked again: "Are you a disciple of the master of Ecstasy Palace?" Yinhua Niang said: "No." The patient looked at her for a while, then heaved a long sigh and said, "It's a pity." Yinhua Niang said in astonishment: "What a pity?" The patient closed his eyes and stopped looking at her. Yinhua Niang opened his mouth a few times, but she didn't dare to ask again. After a long while, Zhu Lei'er slowly said: "Having learned the martial arts of the Ecstasy Palace, you are a member of the Ecstasy Palace, and you are a member of the Ecstasy Palace, but you refuse to admit it. Will save you?" Cold sweat dripped down on Yinhua Niang's forehead, she tremblingly said: "You... Miss, what did you say?" Zhu Lei'er also closed her eyes and ignored her. There was a suffocating silence all around, Yinhua Niang looked at the patient, then at Zhu Lei'er, her teeth chattering. Suddenly someone sighed and said, "What a pity, what a pity." Guo Pianxian came up quietly at some point, sat on the stairs and sighed. Yinhua Niang couldn't bear it any longer, and asked in a hissing voice, "What a pity? What is it a pity?" Guo Pianxian said: "If you just admitted that you are a member of the Ecstasy Palace, maybe this Miss Zhu will save you." Yinhua Niang said: "Why?" Guo Pianxian smiled leisurely and said, "You still can't guess who this Miss Zhu is?" Yinhua Niang said: "She... who is she?" Guo Pianxian suddenly gave Zhu Lei'er a long bow, and said, "Ms. Zhu is naturally the jewel in the palm of Ms. Zhu of the Ecstasy Valley and Palace of Ecstasy." After saying this, Yu Peiyu was startled again. Yinhua Niang suddenly stood up, fell to her knees again, stared at Zhu Lei'er with wide eyes, and said in a low voice, "You...you...you really are The daughter of Palace Master Ecstasy?" Zhu Lei'er had no expression on her face, an eleven or twelve year old girl seemed to suddenly become as mature and sophisticated as a thirty or forty year old woman. Yinhua Niang felt that her whole body was getting cold, she suddenly hissed again: "No, Palace Mistress Ecstasy has been dead for thirty or forty years, there will never be such a young daughter." Guo Pianxian sighed, and said: "In the martial arts, there are many secrets. You are young, what do you know?" Yinhua Niang said: "You...you know?" Guo Pianxian said: "Although I know something, I dare not say it." The patient suddenly said: "Since you know it, why don't you dare to say it?" Guo Pianxian stood up and bowed, saying: "Since the senior ordered, I will follow my orders." At this time, even Yu Peiyu was full of nervousness and curiosity, and Yinhua Niang held her breath and did not dare to move, only listening to Guo Pianxian slowly saying: "According to legend, in the past few decades, there have been three biggest secrets in the martial arts world, one of which is the mystery of the life and death of the ecstasy palace master..." The patient nodded slightly and said, "Not bad." Guo Pianxian said: "Most people in the Jianghu know that the owner of the Palace of Ecstasy passed away thirty years ago, and the prosperity of the Palace of Ecstasy has long been a thing of the past, but there is another legend in the martial arts, that the owner of the Palace of Ecstasy In fact, he did not die, but quietly left the Palace of Ecstasy to avoid revenge." Yu Peiyu couldn't help but said: "But I saw her remains with my own eyes." Guo Pianxian said: "It is said that it is not the real Palace Mistress of Ecstasy, it is just a maid in her palace. She used this trick of Li Daitao to avoid disaster in order to keep revenge." Although he was answering Yu Peiyu's words, his eyes kept looking at the patient, he saw that the patient's nose was heavy, and he seemed to have fallen asleep, so he didn't know if he heard it. Guo Pianxian coughed dryly, and said again: "Ecstasy Palace Master's actions are secretive, but somehow, people gradually discovered them, and the first person to know is said to be Dongfang City Master..." Yu Peiyu moved: "The owner of Dongfang City? Are you talking about Dongfang Daming, the nightless city of Sun Moon Island among the seventy-two islands in the South China Sea. With a pair of sun and moon wheels, he shocked the South China Sea and made the Hainan Sword Sect dare not act rashly for decades. ?” Guo Pianxian smiled slightly, and said: "That's right, it doesn't matter if you say this name now, but it is said that if someone dared to call him by his name in the past, that person would probably have a hard time living a proper life." The patient suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Yu Peiyu closely, and said sharply: "How do you know Dongfang Daming's name?" Yu Peiyu only felt that his listless eyes suddenly became as frightening as a rainbow and lightning. Although she was secretly surprised, she remained calm and said slowly: "My father once told his disciples , this Dongfang City Lord is one of the top ten masters in the martial arts, but he is far away in the South China Sea. Most people in the rivers and lakes don't know how powerful he is. My father also said that the real top ten martial arts masters in the martial arts rarely walk around in the rivers and lakes. His martial arts are all superior to those of the heads of the most famous thirteen sects today." The patient said: "Who are the top ten masters he mentioned?" Yu Peiyu said: "I don't remember very well, I just remember that apart from the Eastern City Lord, there are also Xiao Penglai, the 'Shenni' Sakura Master of Sakura Valley, the 'Flying Camel' Yikun in the extreme northern desert, and the hermit. The 'Rage Man' of Qingcheng Mountain, the Dragon Swordsman of Wujing Ranger, Li Tianwang of Shenfeng Ridge..." Before he finished speaking, the patient seemed to be impatient, frowned slightly, and said with a sneer, "Top ten masters? They are also worthy." He closed his eyes again, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." Guo Pianxian coughed again, and said: "It is said that the owner of Dongfang City and the owner of Ecstasy Palace have a deep relationship, after knowing the news, he immediately invited more than ten island owners from the seventy-two islands in the South China Sea, as well as Li Tianwang and Grandma Hu. Wait for someone, come to revenge." Yu Peiyu lost her voice and said: "I remembered, this Grandma Hu is also one of the top ten masters. Although her other martial arts are not very good, her skill in using poison is said to be rare in the world." Guo Pianxian said: "Castle Master Dongfang invited Grandma Hu to deal with Palace Master Ecstasy, just for... cough cough." He originally wanted to say "fight poison with poison", but looking at Zhu Lei'er's ashen face, how dare he say this sentence, he just couldn't stop coughing. Yu Peiyu couldn't help but said: "Could it be that these people already know the hidden place of Palace Master Ecstasy?" Guo Pianxian said: "Of course I know." Yu Peiyu said: "Did they ever find Palace Master Ecstasy?" Guo Pianxian said: "I'm afraid I found it." 俞佩玉叹道：“这一场恶战，必定是惊心动魄，天下少有，却不知后来结果如何？” 郭翩仙道：“这就不知道了。” 俞佩玉道：“你也不知道？” 郭翩仙苦笑道：“非但我不知道，天下只怕也没有别人知道。” 俞佩玉奇道：“为什么？” 郭翩仙道：“东方大明、李天王、胡姥姥等人，行事虽也十分隐秘，但出发前据说曾在岳阳楼上痛饮了一日一夜，预行庆功，当时岳阳楼下恰巧也有人在一艘小舟上赏月饮酒，无意间听到他们的说话，所以知道这些武林顶尖高手聚在一起，是为了要来对付那销魂宫主的。” 俞佩玉道：“所以这消息后来就传了出去？” 郭翩仙道：“小舟上的这几人也并非多嘴之辈，所以知道这件事的人始终不多，但是江湖间最难保密，到后来还是有些人知道了这件事，于是大家都忍不住要在暗中留心查访，都想知道这一场大战的结果如何。” 俞佩玉道：“难道大家都未查访出来？” 郭翩仙道：“都没有。” 俞佩玉忍不住又问道：“为什么？” 郭翩仙叹了口气，道：“只因东方大明、胡姥姥这些绝顶高手，这一去之后，从此便无下落，这些人就好像忽然从地面上消失了，谁也找他们不着。” 俞佩玉骇然道：“难道这些人都被销魂宫主……” 他瞧了朱泪儿一眼，戛然顿住了语声。 郭翩仙道：“销魂宫主虽是天下武林的奇人，但大家暗中推测，都认为她绝不可能将这许多绝顶高手都……” 他也瞧了朱泪儿一眼，也不说话了。 突听那病人缓缓道：“你们可想知道这件事的真相么？” 郭翩仙赔笑道：“固所愿也，不敢请耳。” 那病人道：“好，我告诉你们，东方大明、李天王、胡姥姥，以及南海七十二岛的十九个岛主，全都是被我杀死的，杀得一个不留。” 他轻描淡写地说出这番话来，就好像这本是件很轻松，很平常的事，但郭翩仙、俞佩玉却不禁全被吓得怔住了。 他们虽未亲眼瞧过东方大明、胡姥姥、李天王这些人的武功，但连当今十三大门派的掌门人都对这些人忌惮几分，这些人的武功也就可想而知，而南海七十二岛的岛主们，据说也各有绝技在身，据说其中有一位岛主，曾经和飞鱼剑客苦战了三天三夜，竟丝毫未落下风。 像这样的人一个也难惹得很，何况有二十几个聚在一起，这奄奄一息的病人，却说将他们全都杀光了。 俞佩玉和郭翩仙哪里还说得出话来。 那病人缓缓又道：“还有，泪儿的母亲朱媚，并不是为了怕人寻仇才离开销魂宫的，她只不过是因为久经沧桑之后，忽然真心爱上了一个人，所以不惜放弃一切，和这个人飘然远行，做一对平凡的夫妻以度余生。” 俞佩玉和郭翩仙呆呆瞧着他，心里暗道：“这个人莫非就是你？你莫非就是朱泪儿的父亲？” 但这句话自是谁也不敢问出来。 那病人道：“你们可是想问我这人是谁？” 郭翩仙赔笑道：“前辈若不愿说，也没关系。” 那病人却道：“这人就是东方大明的儿子，东方美玉。” 俞佩玉和郭翩仙长长松了口气，心里却好像觉得有些失望，朱泪儿已经悄悄走过来，伏在那病人身旁。 那病人接着道：“顾名思义，这东方美玉自然是个绝世的美少年，所以朱媚虽然阅人多矣，竟还是对这比她小了几乎一半的少年，投下了一片真心，你们总该知道，越是像她这样的女人，动了真情后越是不可收拾。” 俞佩玉和郭翩仙都不知该如何回答。 银花娘却幽幽一叹，道：“正是如此。” 那病人道：“但这东方美玉除了人长得俊美外，竟是金玉其外，败絮其中，而且品格之低下，更是令人发指。” 他竟当着朱泪儿的面，骂他的父亲，朱泪儿居然无动于衷，好像觉得她父亲的确是该骂的。 俞佩玉和郭翩仙又不觉暗暗奇怪。 只听那病人道：“朱媚嫁给他后，洗尽铅华，为良人妇，竟像是平凡的妇人一样，每天洒扫烹煮，服侍她的丈夫，只因她愿在这平凡的生活中，将往事全都忘记，她对东方美玉情意之深，你们也总该能想像得到。” 俞佩玉叹了口气，暗道：“一个男人若能得到这样的妻子，人生夫复何求？” 银花娘暗叹忖道：“不知我将来爱上一个人时，会不会像这样子……唉，我人都快死了，何必还想这么多。” 郭翩仙却在暗中忖道：“这位销魂宫主历尽沧桑，所以觉得只有这样才能表示自己的情意，但东方美玉还是个年轻小伙子，只怕反而会觉得这种生活无趣了。” 三个人三种想法，谁都没有说出口来。 那病人道：“朱媚固是情深一往，谁知东方美玉却反而觉得这种生活无趣了，竟怂恿着朱媚要她再回销魂宫去。” 郭翩仙微微一笑，俞佩玉暗暗摇头。 银花娘道：“她……她回去了么？” 那病人道：“朱媚自是不肯答应，那时她年纪虽已不小，但驻颜有术，看来还是美如天仙，所以东方美玉还不舍得离开她……” 郭翩仙瞧了朱泪儿一眼，暗道：“她小小年纪，便已能令男人如此颠倒，她母亲更不知有多妙了，只可惜我自命风流，竟遇不着这样的女人。” 银花娘暗道：“朱媚虽然洗尽铅华，但某些地方想来还是能令东方美玉欲仙欲死……不知我将来能不能比得上她呢？” 她瞟了俞佩玉一眼，俞佩玉却在叹息。 那病人道：“但以媚术驻颜的女人，最忌生育，朱媚自也知道这点，所以两人多年都未生育，到后来朱媚年纪越大，做母亲的愿望也越来越强烈，竟不顾一切，生下了个女儿……这就是她了。” 他瞧了朱泪儿一眼，朱泪儿垂下头来，目中已有泪痕。 银花娘却已忍不住插口道：“她生下这孩子后，真的就变老了么？” 这屋子里别人都只在留神听着这段故事里的诡秘曲折之处，只有银花娘，却在关心着销魂宫主的容颜。 那病人叹了口气，道：“不错，朱媚生下了这孩子后，不出半年，一个倾国倾城的绝代佳人，竟然就变得鸡皮鹤发，一下子就像是老了几十年。” 银花娘也叹了口气，嘴里不再说话，暗中却忖道：“这么样说来，就算杀了我的头，我也不能生孩子了。” 谁知俞佩玉竟也叹了口气，道：“那东方美玉既已对朱宫主生出了厌倦之意，此后只怕更……更……”瞧了朱泪儿一眼，将下面半句话咽了回去。 那病人道：“朱媚聪明绝顶，又何尝不知道东方美玉已对她渐渐有了异心，只是她本也未想到自己生了孩子后，竟会老得这么快，一日揽镜自照，忽然发觉自己头发竟也脱落了大半，她也就立刻想到，此番只怕是再也挽不回东方美玉的心了。” 银花娘暗道：“我若是她，不如就将东方美玉一刀杀了，这样我虽然再也得不到他，也让别人休想得到他。” 想到这里，她忍不住又偷偷瞟了俞佩玉一眼，瞧见俞佩玉脸上的刀疤，立刻垂下了头，再也不敢抬起。 只听那病人接着道：“这一夜她抱着孩子，偷偷痛哭了一夜，第二天早上还未天亮，她就去叫醒了东方美玉。” 银花娘又忍不住道：“他们两人难道不……不住在一起么？” 那病人道：“自从生下这孩子后，东方美玉就别居一室，说是这样才能让朱媚好好地照顾孩子，其实……哼。” 郭翩仙暗道：“这也不能怪他，若换于是我，我也不愿和个老太婆睡在一床的……”突觉那病人的目光冷冷向他瞧了过来，立刻赔笑道：“却不知朱宫主叫醒了他后，是为了什么呢？” 那病人叹道：“这只怕你们谁也想不到的。” 大家屏息静气，谁也不敢多嘴，过了半晌，才听那病人缓缓的接道：“她叫醒他，是为了要向他告别。” 俞佩玉、郭翩仙、银花娘齐地一怔，失声道：“告别？” 那病人道：“不错，她知道自己这样子，再也不会得到东方美玉的欢喜，所以痛哭一夜后，立下决心，要让东方美玉恢复自由之身，她只说：'我不忍拖累你，更不忍要你勉强陪着我，你离开我后，不妨找一个年纪相若，性情温柔的女子，好好成家，好好活下去，而我……我虽然再也见不着你，但只要想你活得快活，只要能将你的孩子抚养成人，我也就心满意足了。'” 这番话此刻由一个男人嘴里说出，虽已失去了那分哀惋悲凉之情，但大家想到朱媚当时说这番话时的心情，仍不禁俱都为之恻然。 就连郭翩仙心里也不禁暗暗叹息：“想不到这朱媚竟对东方美玉有如此真情，一个男人一生中能有这么段情感，活着已可算不冤了。” 俞佩玉已忍不住动容道：“那东方美玉听了这番话后，难道就真的忍心一走了之不成？” 那病人缓缓道：“他没有走，他听了这番话后，立刻指天誓日，说他对朱媚的心绝不会变，无论朱媚变得多老多丑，他都绝不会弃她而去。” 俞佩玉长长叹出口气，道：“如此说来，这位东方公子并非负心的人。” 谁知那病人却道：“不错，他的确不是负心的人，只因他根本不是人。” 说到这里，他平静的面容，忽然变得激动起来，目中射出了火焰般的怒意，额上也沁出了一粒粒汗珠。 朱泪儿轻轻替他拭着汗，眼泪已流落满面。 大家瞧得瞠目结舌，更是谁也不敢插嘴，一时之间，小楼上只能听朱泪儿悲哀的啜泣声，大家沉重的心跳声。 过了半晌，那病人终于吐出口气，缓缓道：“朱媚听了东方美玉这番话后，心里更是感激，她本来自是舍不得离开他，只是情愿为了他牺牲自己，如今东方美玉既然已经这么说了，她自然就绝口不提别离两个字。” 俞佩玉道：“但那东方美玉难道……难道另……另有居心不成？” 那病人道：“从此以后，她一面照顾孩子，一面更对东方美玉服侍得无微不至，只差没有将心挖出来给他吃了，谁知这样又过了两年多后，东方美玉的爹爹竟忽然找着了她，而且还带来了二十几个武林高手。” 他说到这里，才接上前面的话，这故事仿佛已近了尾声，但大家却已隐约猜出，这其中必定还另有隐情。 只见那病人目光在他们脸上一扫，缓缓道：“朱媚自知为世不容，所住的地方，一定十分隐秘，这东方大明却是怎么会找到她的？你们可想得到么？” 郭翩仙赔笑道：“晚辈心里也正在奇怪……” 那病人道：“不但你奇怪，朱媚当时也奇怪，直到她见了东方美玉的行动后，心里才算雪亮。” 俞佩玉嗄声道：“那东方美玉又有什么行动？” 那病人声音已嘶哑，沉声道：“他见了这批人后，非但毫不吃惊，而且……而且还立刻投奔了过去……”只听“咔嚓”一声，床边一张茶几，已被他一掌拍得粉碎。 俞佩玉、郭翩仙、银花娘都不禁为之耸然动容，都已隐约猜到，这件事说不定就是东方美玉自己去告密的，但大家谁也不忍说出来，只听那病人喘息之声，越来越重，显然已是怒气上涌。 朱儿泪忍住哭声道：“三叔你……你气力还未恢复，何必……何必……” 那病人厉声道：“普天之下，还没有人知道这秘密，我就算说过这番话后立刻就死，也是要说的，我不能让你母亲死后还蒙骂名。” 朱泪儿终于忍不住伏倒床上，放声痛哭起来。 那病人嗄声接道：“原来东方美玉这……这畜生，竟在朱媚生下孩子的第二年，容貌刚开始变老时，就暗中以重金托了个行商海外的海客，要他传信到日月岛不夜城，想来自然还答应了这人，信送到后，再予以重酬，只是这日月岛极是难找，所以这封信过了好几年后，才传到东方大明手里……” 大家方才虽已隐约猜到如此，但究竟还是不敢相信这东方美玉竟是如此狼子狠心，如此听这病人亲口说出来，大家俱都不禁义愤填膺，就连郭翩仙和银花娘，都不免觉得这东方美玉手段确是太辣了。 那病人一双厉电般的眼睛，忽然瞪着郭翩仙，道：“我知道你必也是个薄情的人，但这件事若换了是你，你忍心这样做么？你老实说出来。” 郭翩仙怔了怔，吃吃道：“在下……晚辈……” 他只觉这病人一双眼睛简直像刀，像是要剖开他的心，他竟连谎都不敢说，叹了口气，苦笑道：“此事若换了晚辈，晚辈也许会一走了之。” 那病人道：“不错，无论换了多狠心的人，最多也不过逃之夭夭，一走了之，但东方美玉这畜生，却知道朱媚昔日武功之高，手段之辣，生怕他逃走之后，朱媚会来对付他，他生怕自己逃不了。” 俞佩玉恨声道：“但……但朱宫主既已要让他走了，他为何还要如此做？” 那病人道：“朱媚对他虽是一片真心，但他却怕朱媚是在用话套他，何况那时他早已托人带了信给他爹爹，为了一劳永逸，永绝后患，他竟要亲眼见到朱媚死在他面前才安心，对朱媚说的那番话，竟是要稳住她的。” 听到这里，郭翩仙也不禁失声长叹道：“这人好毒的手段，好狠的心。” 俞佩玉道：“后来这位朱宫主，难道真……真死在他们手里了么？” 那病人铁青脸，也不说话，过了半晌，才沉声道：“你们还忘了问我一件事？” 俞佩玉道：“什么事？” 那病人道：“你们忘了问我，我又怎会知道这件事的？” 他不说也就罢了，此刻一说，大家心里倒真不免有些奇怪了，这件事既如此隐秘，他又怎会知道，而且知道得如此详细，简直有如当场眼见一般。 那病人却闭起眼睛，缓缓道：“我平生最爱孤独，自从经过一件事后，更觉得世上再无一个我看得顺眼的人，见了人就恨不得将之一刀杀死。” 那件事还未说完，他忽然说起自己的性格来，大家虽觉奇怪，但还是屏息而听，不敢插嘴。 只听那病人缓缓接道：“但我既不能将世人全都杀光，就只有远离人群，那时正是春天，福州海岸一带，等着运货到东瀛蓬莱经商的海船很多，我选了艘最坚固、最轻巧的海船跳上去，将上面的人全都赶了下来，独自扬帆而去，海船上粮食清水自然准备得多，我暂也不至有饿渴之虑，只觉海阔天空，再无一个俗人前来打扰于我，倒也优游自在，我闷了许久的心怀，才总算为之一畅。” 听到这里，大家已隐约觉出他说的这番话，必定和那故事颇有关系，而关系就是在这“海船”两字上。 那病人已接着道：“这样也不知过了多久，有一日我正坐在船舷上观赏海上落日的奇景，忽然瞧见一个人自海上飘了过来，这人满身是血，眼见已是活不成了，但还是紧紧抓住一块木头死也不松手。” 郭翩仙暗道：“这人若还能活得成，你只怕就不会救他了，但他反正是要死的，你一个人在海上总有些无聊，说不定反倒会救他起来。” 那病人道：“那时我对世人痛恨已极，本无救他之意，但见他受伤如此之重，倒忍不住想问问他是怎么回事？是遭了谁的毒手，那附近若有海盗劫掠，我正好去拿他们开刀，出出胸中的不平之气。”
