Chapter 38 Thirty-eighth chapter of strange peaks

People who like to drink watch other people drinking, but they drink brown sugar water. People who don't drink can't imagine what it feels like in their dreams. After a few cups of wine, Fu Baye actually beamed with joy, and said with a smile: "Sweet water is much better than wine... Hehe, haha, come, come, please use some vegetables." A few "smart people" had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and before he finished speaking, they had already picked up their chopsticks. Unexpectedly, Fu Baye suddenly lowered his face again, and said sharply: "Who brought this dish? Could it be that he wanted to harm someone?"

When a few "smart" people were obedient, their hearts sank again. One person finally couldn't bear it anymore, and smiled apologetically, "What's wrong with this dish?" Fu Baye said solemnly: "Everyone does not know that greasy things are the most harmful to the body. As the saying goes, vegetables and tofu are safe, especially for people in martial arts like me. If we eat too much greasy food, even if we don't have diarrhea, we will inevitably become sick. Bloated, once a person is bloated, it will inevitably be inconvenient to move..." He paused and continued: "It is inconvenient to move, and if you fight with others, your martial arts will inevitably be compromised. Everyone who came from afar, if you eat my food But if there are any three pluses and two shortfalls, it tells me how to be worthy of everyone."

Not only did he speak clearly and honestly, but he was also aboveboard, with a completely compassionate heart. Although everyone couldn't laugh or cry, they were so angry that they couldn't refute it. Fu Baye moved all the bowls of wings in front of him, sighed, and said: "But it doesn't matter if I eat some, anyway, I'm already dying, so what should I be afraid of." I saw him sip his wine and eat his vegetables, sighed uncontrollably, and murmured: "I won't go to hell, so hell, for the benefit of many friends, even if I suffer a little, I should... Everyone please, Please use sugar water."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, stare wide-eyed, although you dare not speak, you only want to swell this cheapskate to death in your heart. Only then did Yu Peiyu know how the words "being rich and not benevolent" came from. He has also seen many people who are greedy for money, and he knows that people who are greedy for money must be stingy, but like this rich man...he really can't figure out how this person was born. At this moment, a person was suddenly heard laughing and said: "A good friend shares the blessings and suffers together. You have suffered too much, let me suffer too."

This is exactly what everyone wants to say in their hearts, but they dare not say it. Now that someone actually said it, I feel extremely happy. But everyone couldn't help secretly worrying about this man, how dare he say such things in front of the rich eighth uncle, wouldn't it be like swatting a fly on a tiger's head. As expected, Fu Baye's face changed color. He put down his chopsticks and said with a sneer, "I've never had any good friends in my life. All my good friends are dead. Who are you?" He only heard the man laughing and said: "My little brother came here specially to pay homage to the mynah's birthday, why is my mynah cursing my little brother to death before seeing him?"

When he spoke for the first time, everyone felt that this person was nearby, but they couldn't see him. Now when he spoke for the second time, everyone felt that he was far away. But when the last word "it" was uttered, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. ※※※ The man was tall and thin, wearing a long robe that was neither green nor gray, but also like blue and gray, with an apricot yellow silk ribbon tied around his waist, and a strangely shaped sword hanging from it. He wears a bamboo hat on his head, this bamboo hat is like a basin, it covers his head and face, no one else can see his face, but he can see others.

Fu Ba Ye seemed to have recognized him, and even Fu Ba Grandma's expression was a little different. Fortunately, the layer of powder on her face helped her, even if her face changed, no one else could see it. The man in the blue robe and the sword came in staggeringly, and said with a smile: "My old friend is far away, don't my mynah not even reward me with a seat?" Fu Baye's face was like the sole of a shoe, and he said, "Sit, sit, sit." He didn't know how many words "sit" in a row, but he didn't move. The green robed guest said: "Oh, I understand. Myna's rule is that if you want to sit on the table, you have to give gifts first. Those who don't give gifts will not only have no seats, but they may even have their butts beaten."

He touched his body, and said: "My little brother just forgot to prepare the gift, what should I do?...Oh, yes, as the saying goes: A scholar is half a piece of paper, but the gift is less important than the other, right?" After fumbling for a long time, he actually found out a crumpled and dirty piece of paper. He didn't know what it was for. He actually sent the piece of paper to Fu Baye, and said with a smile: "I don't know if this gift is enough." not enough." At this time, even Yu Xuan's face changed, someone sent South Sea coral, but he vomited blood and died, this person only sent half a piece of torn paper, it's no wonder Fu Baye didn't break his head.

Unexpectedly, strange things really happened. Fu Baye actually nodded his head and said: "Enough, enough, enough..." The green robed guest said: "Since the starling has said enough, it's time for the little brother to sit down and suffer." As he was talking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up a person's neck. This person is nicknamed "Half Mountain", as the name suggests, you can know what kind of person he is. At this moment, he was picked up by Qingpao Ke casually, and he was picked up like a chicken. The strength of his whole body suddenly disappeared. Where did he go, he was carried to the door somehow.

Seeing that the green robed guest was already sitting on his seat, he ate up the rest of the shark's fin in the basin in the blink of an eye, picked up the jug, and sucked it up like a long whale sucking water. Fu Baye just watched helplessly, without moving. The Qingpao guest smacked his lips, let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since my younger brother has suffered such a good crime, what crimes do myna have, why don't you just bring it up and let my younger brother suffer together. " Fu Baye's face was green and pale, suddenly he slapped the table, and said loudly: "It's a good thing that you are still a respectable world. When you see Uncle Tian come in, you dare to sit carelessly and don't even ask for greetings."

Qunhao originally thought that the object of his anger was this green-robed strange man, but who knew that he used others as a punching bag. Only Yu Peiyu secretly laughed, knowing that this cheapskate used another trick of "turning the tiger away from the mountain", so when he lost his temper like this, Food and drink can be saved. Yuxuan's eyes had long been fixed on the sword at Qingpao Ke's waist, and at this moment she suddenly stood up, cupped her fists respectfully, and said, "Since your surname is Tian, ​​I don't know how famous he is to conquer Tianshan with a sword. What's the relationship with the 'Dragon Swordsman', Uncle Tian?" Qingpao Ke didn't answer, but slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing a pale and thin face, this face looked very handsome from a distance, but there were at least a dozen scars on his face, Against his bloodless skin, his shining eyes made this face full of an indescribably mysterious and terrifying meaning. When Yu Xuan saw this face, she immediately took three steps back. The heroes of the group were all terrified and moved, and got up from their seats. Yu Xuan bowed and said, "Sure enough, it's an old senior." Qingpao Ke smiled and said: "Don't dare, I am Tian Longzi." When he laughed, the scars all over his face seemed to be squirming, adding a bit of mystery, making people dare not take a second look. Not only has Yu Peiyu heard for a long time that this person is the one with the most erratic moves and the most pungent shots among the top ten masters, but also has learned the martial arts of his disciple Tian Jiyun, so now she can't help but take a second look at them. Tian Longzi's fiery gaze was also fixed on his face, with a half-smile, he said slowly: "What's the name of this young friend?" Yu Xuan rushed to apologize and said with a smile: "His name is Yu Er, and he is my long-term follower." Tian Longzi let out a long "Oh", and said coldly: "Your Excellency is really extraordinary, I never thought that there is such a person under your Feiyu sect." He looked at Yu Peiyu up and down again, his eyes suddenly fixed on Yu Xuan's face, and said: "I heard that the 'Eight Beauty of Martial Arts' has fallen into Your Excellency's hands, I wonder if it's true or not?" Yu Xuan lowered her head, glanced at Fu Baye, and said slowly: "This...cough cough..." Tian Longzi smiled and said, "I understand. No wonder the rich myna honors you as the lord. It turns out that you have brought the 'Eight Beauty of Martial Arts' as a birthday present." Everyone is wondering. "Could it be that those stone men are called Wulin Bamei?" Tian Longzi said with a smile: "Brother, my brother drinks and eats vegetables, mynah will inevitably feel distressed, and now my younger brother only asks to borrow that 'Martial Arts Eight Beauty' to have a look, mynah shouldn't be so distressed anymore." Fu Baye was sullen and said nothing. Tian Longzi also lowered his face, and said: "My little brother just wants to take a look, and I won't look down on them." Fu Baye's face was green and pale for a while, he slapped the table again, and said loudly: "Tian Longzi, don't you think I'm really afraid of you, Baibu Shenquan may not be defeated by you" Progress Chain, You Long Shiba under the formula'." Tian Longzi said indifferently: "But it may not be possible to win, is it?" Fu Ba Ye said: "Hmph!" Tian Longzi nodded and smiled, and said: "My little brother already knew that mynah would never fight if he was not sure about it, so why don't you let me see, I promise I won't get involved." Fu Ba Ye gritted his teeth, but Fu Ba's grandma smiled and said, "Brother Tian always keeps his word, so what's the point of letting him see? What's more, the guests have long been waiting to see the 'Martial Arts Eight Beauty' The beauty of it." After saying this, everyone really regarded this rich eighth grandma as a pleasant old lady. Fu Baye was silent for a long time, and finally shook his hand and said: "Okay, go get my crystal basin and fill it with clean water." What's the use of clean water after watching "Eight Beauties of Wulin"? Everyone was curious, and could only hold their breath and wait. The crystal basin is naturally transparent, about two feet long, shining brightly under the lamp, making the clear water in the basin also become gorgeous and colorful. There was no one in the house who didn't know what to buy, and when they saw the crystal basin, they knew it was a rare antique, but no one knew what purpose Fu Baye wanted the crystal basin for. I saw Fu Baye put the crystal basin on the table, and said slowly: "In the past thirty years, there have been a large number of talents in the Jianghu, and there are not many heroes who have become famous, but the real beauties recognized by the Jianghu are only There are only eight of them, and although their identities and ages are different, they are still capable of captivating all sentient beings to this day." Holding the iron box again, he continued, "The statues of these eight beauties are sent by the fish island master." Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel very disappointed. In fact, even a statue of the most beautiful woman in the world would not attract the interest of these people. A statue is a statue after all, and no one can figure out what is so good about a dead statue. Fu Ba Ye said: "Although this statue is a statue, it is different from other statues. Other statues are dead, but this statue is alive." Could the statue be alive? At this time, Fu Ba Ye had already taken out a statue, put it on the table, and said, "Do you all know who she is?" I saw that this statue is really meticulous and lifelike, even the eyebrows and hairs can be counted, and the face is naturally carved with picturesque eyebrows, as beautiful as a fairy, but it is wearing the costume of a Mongolian girl outside the Great Wall. Belle's dress seems to have a special flavor. Tian Longzi said with a smile: "Could this girl be the red peony known as 'Cai Shang Qi Hua'?" Fu Baye said coldly: "That's right, in the end it's you who have seen a lot." Tian Longzi smiled and said: "This red peony is the pet of the number one master of Tantric Buddhism, 'Hongyun Dalai Lama'. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also charming in nature. It's a pity that the Great Lama Hongyun is jealous, and he doesn't even allow others to look at her." Fu Baye showed a smug expression on his face, and said: "But now we can take a closer look and see clearly." Talking in his mouth, he had put the statue into the crystal basin. When the statue entered the water, it really seemed to become alive immediately. The most wonderful thing is that her clothes are falling off one by one... In the end, there was only an exquisite, translucent, naked and stunning beauty floating up and down, dancing gracefully in the sunset-like brilliance. Fu Baye couldn't help himself, clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Hongyun regards her as a taboo, no matter who takes a look at her, he will find someone to do his best, but now we can play with her and play with her... " Most of the group of heroes were stunned, almost drooling, only one or two people with clearer heads felt that there must be something wrong with the rich eighth master's psychology - but the problem was probably a big one. A problem that most men have. "Painting cakes to satisfy hunger", although it is known to be false, is better than nothing at all.What's more, stealing is not as good as "not being able to steal". Tian Longzi smiled and said, "It's better to dance with two than one person. Why don't myna find a partner for her?" Fu Ba Ye said: "This is also a good idea." He glanced at the box and said: "Red Peony is not young anymore, I have already found a young one to dance with her." He took out another statue from the box, threw it into the water, and said with a smile, "Do you guys know who is the number one beauty in Jiangnan? Now I want the number one beauty in Jiangnan to dance with the number one beauty in Saishang. Here, you will never dream of having such a blessing in your life." Before he finished speaking, Yu Peiyu's expression changed. Who is it not Lin Daiyu who is being thrown into the crystal basin at this moment? I saw "Lin Daiyu" fluttering and dancing in the water, her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be smiling, and her eyes were flowing, as if she was telling Yu Peiyu her grievances. Yu Peiyu couldn't bear it anymore, of course she rushed over and kicked the table over. The crowd was startled and angry, and they ran away one after another, thinking that this kid must have gone crazy, so he wanted to kill himself, Yu Xuan's expression turned pale. Even Fu Baye was taken aback, he never thought that this kid would dare to behave wildly in front of him, only Tian Longzi looked at Yu Peiyu with a half-smile, as if he had seen his origin. Fu Baye was stunned for a while, instead of being angry, he smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, very good, since you don't want to live anymore, why don't I help you?" He pushed the overturned table away, patted the water that spilled on him, and walked towards Yu Peiyu step by step... Everyone thought of his reputation as "Hundred Steps Divine Fist", and under the current rage, the power of a blow was not known how terrible it would be, so they couldn't help walking away, as if as long as they touch Yu Peiyu, they will be unlucky. Yu Xuan was a bit loyal, she seemed to want to stand in the way for Yu Peiyu, but she didn't dare, and was held back by Tian Longzi while hesitating. Among so many people, Yu Peiyu is the calmest. Even though his anger has not calmed down, no one else can see it, Fu Ba Ye walked this way, he neither went up to meet him, nor backed away, he just said indifferently: "You are not my opponent, please ask your Madam to come out by yourself. " Saying this sentence, everyone felt very strange, Master Fu Ba's "Hundred Steps Fist" is well known in the world, but Grandma Fu Ba has never heard of Grandma Fu Ba also has an astonishing stunt. Fu Baye's own face changed instead, as if someone had stepped on his foot suddenly, and he lost his voice: "What do you mean?" Yu Peiyu said coldly: "You don't understand what I mean? Do you want me to say it?" The Fu Ba Ye who was so powerful just now suddenly became dumbfounded. Looking at the rich eighth grandma again, although her complexion did not change, the powder on her face fell off, just like the powder and ash on the wall peeled off during an earthquake. Yu Peiyu smiled, picked up the statue from the ground, and said leisurely: "Actually, you may not really want to get this thing. The two of you are not interested in women anyway, but since someone else sent it, you can't refuse it." ,Is it?" Fu Baye's face was ashen, he stepped back step by step, and said in a low voice, "You...how did you know?" Before Yu Peiyu could speak, Grandma Fu Ba took three steps suddenly and punched her. Before she could reach her fist, a strong wind of punching was already pressing down on Yu Peiyu's chest. No one would have imagined that the quiet and kind Fu Ba grandma would be so terrifying when she made a strike. Yu Peiyu turned around a few times before she was able to dissipate the force of the punch, but Fu Ba As soon as grandma seized the opportunity, the others came immediately. Yu Peiyu didn't even have a chance to catch her breath a few times, she just stepped back step by step, seeking to protect herself first, at this moment, she saw a flash of sword light, like a startled rainbow and lightning. Hearing another exclamation from Fu Ba's grandma, she turned over in the air, stepped back two zhangs, and quickly saw that her front breasts had been cut by the sword, exposing her chest. On the flat chest, there is also covered with black and fluffy chest hair. Holding the sword as his chest, Tian Longzi looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I guessed really well, Grandma Fu Ba is indeed a man..." Qunhao was really stunned. I saw Fu Ba Ye's body seemed to have shrunk into a ball, and Fu Ba Grandma desperately tried to cover her chest with her skirt, her expression was so embarrassing, it was both ridiculous and pitiful. In fact, the two of them originally had 100% martial arts, and now they still have 100% martial arts. If they could have fought with Tian Longzi, they can still fight with Tian Longzi now, but if the shameful things done by one person are suddenly exposed, it is inevitable. Some panic. What's more, they have been hiding this secret for decades. There was only one person who knew this secret, but this person has long since died. Now this young boy with a hairy head suddenly revealed it. They really can't understand this young man. How did I know this secret? The more I can't figure it out, the more terrifying I feel. Once they were afraid, others would naturally not be afraid of them, and some even couldn't help laughing out loud.Tian Longzi laughed loudly and said: "No wonder you have monsters who are neither male nor female in your village. So you are monsters yourself, and a man is interested in marrying a man as his wife. This is an anecdote in the world, and I have never seen it before." Suddenly someone said: "He likes to marry a man as his wife, it's his own business, even if he likes to marry a monkey as his wife, that's up to him, as long as he doesn't marry you as his wife, that's all. Why do you care about him?" No business." In the voice, a person has already walked over swaggeringly. The man's voice was weak, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days, but he walked with great style, but it was a pity that the skin was hanging down on his shriveled face, as if he was alive. A balloon that has been deflated by someone. Although the clothes on his body are of excellent quality, they can accommodate three of them. If it is said that this clothes is not stolen, no one will believe it. There are really not many people in this world who dare to contradict the "Dragon Swordsman". Everyone thought that the person who came here must be some great big shot, so they couldn't help but feel a little worried. Unexpectedly, what came in was such a wimpy monster, it seemed that anyone could slap him into the gutter with a single slap. Tian Longzi was very angry and funny, but he couldn't express his temper, he said with a smile: "It seems that your Excellency must have married a man as a wife, because of a talent like your Excellency, I am afraid that there will never be a woman in the world who is willing to marry you." When this sentence was said, everyone couldn't help laughing out loud. The strange man didn't even have any expression on his face, because the skin on his face was too loose, even if his flesh and blood were moving, the skin couldn't move. He laughed three times and said: "Even if I marry a man as my wife, it has nothing to do with you, and you have nothing to do with it." Others "smile on the skin but don't smile on the skin", but he "smiles on the skin and doesn't smile on the skin". Although he laughs loudly, his face is still listless. It seems that the person laughing is not him at all. It seemed to be coming from a very strange place. Everyone thought this person was funny, but now they couldn't help but feel that he was a little scary. Tian Longzi coughed twice, and said: "If men always marry men as wives, then what should women do? We will take care of this business." The weird man said: "Are you in charge?" Tian Longzi said: "That's right, I'll take care of it." As soon as the word "Guan" was uttered, and before the word "Definitely" was uttered, there were two "cracks, bangs", the sound was clear and crisp. Tian Longzi had five more red fingerprints on each of his left and right faces, as if painted on his face with cinnabar. Even he himself didn't know how he got these two slaps. He only felt a "ba" on the left face, and his body was about to fall to the right, but he also got a slap on the right face in time, and his body stood firm again. Looking at that strange man still standing there slumped, looking at him strangely, if he said that the two slaps were done by him, it would be hard to believe. Tian Longzi seemed to be dreaming, but fortunately he didn't feel any pain on his face. The strange thing is that everyone was looking at his face, but there was a look of horror in their eyes, which was almost like seeing a ghost. Tian Longzi touched his face involuntarily, only to realize that five fingerprints had swelled up on his face, which was hotter than fire when he touched it. He was horrified, and couldn't help exhaling, only to find that his entire face was frozen, so numb that he couldn't move at all, so he didn't feel any pain. The weirdo laughed and said, "You still don't care about this business?" Tian Longzi rattled in his throat, but he couldn't speak. The weird man suddenly turned around and patted Fu Baye on the shoulder, saying: "I've done this for you, how can you thank me?" Fu Baye said: "This!...Senior..." He was also intimidated by the monster's martial arts. The monster's hand slapped him on the shoulder, but he almost collapsed, unable to speak. The weird man said: "You don't know how to thank me, why don't I tell you." He picked up the statue with the crystal basin and said with a smile: "You just give this to me, that's all." Grandma Fu Ba mustered up her courage, and suddenly said: "Senior, your surname is Gao, can you tell me?" The weird man said, "You don't know who I am?" He shook his head, sighed and said: "If others don't recognize who I am, then that's all right. If even you can't recognize who I am, it really makes me very sad, very sad..." Speaking of this, he suddenly took out a chicken leg from the wide, big and long clothes. When he saw the chicken leg, greedy eyes immediately appeared in his eyes. After sniffing and sniffing on his nose, he sighed again and put the chicken leg back. Seeing his expression, the muscles on the face of "Grandma Fu Ba" suddenly twisted, and she said in a trembling voice, "God...god...god..." She said the word "heaven" seven or eight times in a row, but she couldn't say the second word. Yu Peiyu thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of someone, and said in a broken voice: "Could it be that senior is a star?" The weird man laughed loudly and said, "It's not bad at all. I never thought you, a young man, would recognize me. It's not easy, it's not easy." Only then did Yu Peiyu suddenly realize why the flesh on his face was so loose, why his clothes were so big, it turned out that he was a fat man. Fat people suddenly lose weight, and they will become like this. But how could Tian Chi Xing, who was as fat as a pig, become so thin in less than three months? ——If a fat person wants to lose weight, it is not an easy task. "Grandma Fu Ba" stammered, "You... How did your old man... How did you become so thin?" Tian Chixing sighed, and said: "Didn't you see, I don't dare to eat anything now, my stomach hurts like hell, if people don't eat, how can they not lose weight?" He sighed again, and murmured: "Looks like I should change my name to 'Sky Star'." Tian Chi Xing is born with a strong stomach, and often boasts that "big meat does not eat dead people, and small meat does not eat flies." That means that except for these two things, he can eat everything. How can such a person dare not even eat chicken legs? Everyone was wondering, but no one dared to ask. But Yu Peiyu said: "Senior has been entangled by that 'response bug' for a long time, and life must be very difficult." Tian Chixing opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise: "You know that too." Yu Peiyu said: "I know a thing or two." Tian Chixing stared at him, and murmured: "This young man really knows a lot." Yu Peiyu smiled and said: "Whoever is entangled by that 'answering bug' must have no taste for food and restless sleep, and will inevitably lose weight after a month or two." Tian Chixing sighed, and said: "That's right, that's not bad at all. During those two months, I wished I could die. Fortunately, after he had haunted me for two months, he disappeared suddenly, but my stomach I was also tortured into a mess by him, even if the delicacies of mountains and seas were in front of me, I didn't dare to move." As he spoke, he seemed to be about to shed tears. How can a delicious person live if he can no longer eat? Yu Peiyu stared at the statue in his hand, and said coldly: "Eat sex, senior can't eat, so did you use other ideas?" Tian Chixing laughed and said: "You are wrong, I came to find these statues because I was looking for someone." Yu Peiyu frowned and said, "Looking for someone?" Tian Chi Xing said: "No matter how you count, she must be one of the eight beauties of the martial arts world, and her statue must also be among them. I can't see her in person, and I don't dare to see her. It's good to be able to see her statue." Yu Peiyu said: "Who is she?" Tian Chixing blinked his eyes, didn't say anything, but gestured. Seeing this gesture, Yu Peiyu's face changed, and she lost her voice: "That day, Yu... President Yu Fanghe compared in front of the senior, isn't this the same gesture?" Tian Chixing said in surprise: "You also know about this?... Strange, very strange." Yu Peiyu said: "As far as we know, doesn't this gesture mean 'Mr. Dong Guo'?" Tian Chi Xing said: "Mr. Dong Guo? Who said this gesture represents Mr. Dong Guo? Mr. Dong Guo will become a stunning beauty?" Yu Peiyu's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "If it wasn't for Mr. Dong Guo, who is this gesture referring to?" The eyes of Tian Chi Xing seemed to show fear, and he said in a low voice: "If you don't know, how can I know..." Having said this, the voice suddenly stopped. He didn't know when there was an extra orange in his mouth, and it was stuffed in his mouth impartially, but if asked where the orange came from, no one could answer. Then, one person sighed and said: "These days are really difficult, it is not easy to find a place to sleep peacefully." The sound came from the roof. Everyone looked up involuntarily, and found that a big cloth bag had been hanging on the girder at some time, and the voice seemed to come from the cloth bag. But how could there be someone in the cloth bag?How can a person hang the bag on the girder when he is in the bag?He is a good person, but what is he doing hiding in the cloth bag? Yu Peiyu was surprised when everyone exclaimed: "The world is in one bag...Mr. Budai is here..." Amid the exclamation, the dozens of people in the hall had all escaped completely, not a single one was left. Tian Chixing didn't even dare to spit out the oranges in his mouth, but he kept the iron box statue, because he knew that he had something in his hand, so it would be better to escape with empty hands. The sooner the better. ※※※ Of course the hall fell silent, leaving only Yu Peiyu alone. After a series of such mysterious and bizarre changes, standing alone in an empty and silent hall with a big cloth bag dangling from his head, this feeling is really uncomfortable. Yu Peiyu could hardly bear to leave. But at this time, another voice came from the bag: "Young man, since you haven't left yet, why don't you let me down?" Yu Peiyu stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. The old man in the bag said again: "Hurry up, do you want to see my old man smothered to death in the bag?" Yu Peiyu pondered, and said loudly: "Since you can go in, why can't you come out?" The old man in the bag stopped talking, but moaned non-stop, as if he was really about to be smothered to death, until he couldn't even hear the moans. Yu Peiyu waited for a long time, finally stomped her feet and flew up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he jumped onto the crossbeam, the cloth bag fell down with a "bang", Yu Peiyu immediately jumped down and untied the cloth bag... There are only a few books in the bag, and there is no one there. Yu Peiyu was dumbfounded, she couldn't believe her eyes, just now the old man's words clearly came from the bag, how could there be no one in the bag? Suddenly hearing a voice coming from the beam, Yu Peiyu looked up in shock, and saw a pair of feet and a beard dangling on the beam. The feet are small, but the beard is white and long, the light cannot reach the beam, and nothing can be seen except these feet and the white beard. Yu Peiyu took a long breath. If it was someone else, she would definitely think that she had met a fox fairy, but Yu Peiyu knew that the old man must have slipped out of the bag at the moment when his figure flew by. Taking advantage of the bag falling to the ground, Yu Peiyu slid up to the beam the moment Yu Peiyu looked down. To put it bluntly, although this is nothing unusual, if there is no frighteningly fast lightness kung fu, how can it deceive Yu Peiyu's eyes and ears. Yu Peiyu took a deep breath, but smiled instead, and said lightly: "Unexpectedly, the old man actually has a taste for hide-and-seek, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you." The old man said on the beam: "You want to leave? It's not too late to look at this thing before leaving." Before Yu Peiyu could speak, he suddenly saw something falling from the beam. He didn't dare to catch it with his hands. Under the light, this thing is shining brightly, it is also a beauty carved out of jade, and the iron box and statue left on the table by Tian Chixing are all gone. The old man actually took advantage of the moment Yu Peiyu untied the cloth bag, swooped down and took away the iron box and the statue, but in the breath, his figure had already risen and fallen. No matter how courageous Yu Peiyu was, she couldn't help gasping at this moment. The old man smiled and said: "Young man, since you have a beautiful woman in your arms, why don't you take a closer look at her. It would be a pity if you miss this blessing." The other statues are all in original colors, but the clothes of this statue are covered with a layer of strange black glaze, so she wears black clothes, which further sets off the whiteness of her complexion. The beauty of her face is really as beautiful as a fairy, but there is an indescribable coldness between her brows, which makes people dare not get close to her anymore. I only heard the old man say: "Do you recognize her?" Yu Peiyu said: "I don't know." The old man sighed, and said: "You were born too late, so you don't know her, but thirty or forty years ago, if 'Lady Moyu' was mentioned in the Jianghu, at least tens of thousands of men would willingly die for her .” Yu Peiyu said lightly: "I just think she seems difficult to get close to." The old man laughed and said, "It's because she is always icy to others, so people want to get close to her more and more. Nine out of ten men are somewhat low-spirited. Don't you understand the reason?" Yu Peiyu smiled and said: "Even if she is a peerless beauty, she is still a pile of loess in the end. What does the beauty of forty years ago have to do with me?" The old man said: "If it's okay, I won't ask you to read it." Yu Peiyu said: "Oh?" The old man said: "The gesture that Tian Chi Xingbi made just now was referring to her." Yu Peiyu couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, she calmed down and said, "But I still don't recognize her." The old man said: "Think about it again, do you really not recognize her? As far as we know, you should have at least met her once." Yu Peiyu's heart skipped a beat again, and she suddenly thought of Hai Dongqing and Yang Zijiang's master, that beautiful lady in black and masking her face. He immediately thought of the bamboo tablet and the cloth bag carved on it. At this moment, Yu Peiyu couldn't hold her breath any longer, and said in a broken voice, "Could it be that you are Mr. Dong Guo?" The name "Mr. Dong Guo" seems to have a strange magic power. Yu Peiyu was surprised even by saying these four words. He never expected that he would meet "Mr. Dong Guo" all of a sudden. The old man laughed and said, "Actually, we are old friends too, and you should recognize me." Amidst the laughter, his body was already falling down like a ball of cotton, or like a fallen leaf. His beard was flying like a silver rain all over the sky. He was thin and short, as if he had been wrapped in a beard. Yu Peiyu suddenly lost her voice: "So it was you." ※※※ Yu Peiyu had indeed seen this old man before. For the first time, his family was ruined, and he only saved himself. He really didn't have the courage to live. At that time, he met this old man. The old man was hanging himself that day. Yu Peiyu saved his life as well as his own, because after he saved others, he suddenly gained the courage to survive. The second time, when he was losing confidence in his martial arts, he met this old man again. The old man was painting a mountain, but what he drew was not a mountain. He still remembered what the old man said that day: "It is clearly a mountain, but I can make it not look like a mountain when I draw it. My painting obviously doesn't look like a mountain, but after you look carefully, it looks like a mountain again. "This is only because although I have not drawn the shape of the mountain, I have already drawn the essence of the mountain. "It doesn't matter if others don't understand it. As long as what I paint is a mountain, it is a mountain in my eyes and a mountain in my heart. If I can understand it but others can't, wouldn't it be wonderful." It was these few words that brought Yu Peiyu's martial arts to another level. Because the essence of "innate infinity" is to be intentional but invisible, to escape from the limited form and enter the boundless and chaotic world. If one can return to the basics and become true, the martial arts of "Xiantian Wuji" has been accomplished. Although Yu Peiyu has not yet reached this level, she is very close. ※※※ The more Yu Peiyu thought about it, the more she felt that not only did the old man have no malice towards him, but he also appeared every time when he was in the most danger to help him tide over the difficulties. If it is said that this old man is the devil who is secretly framing him, he really can't believe it, but what "Mrs. Moyu" said makes him unable to believe it. He raised his head, Mr. Dong Guo was looking at him with a smile, and said leisurely: "Do you recognize me already?" Yu Peiyu said in a respectful voice: "I have repeatedly inherited the teachings of my predecessors, and I always remember them in my heart." Mr. Dong Guo flicked the statue of "Lady Moyu" with his fingers, and said, "Of course you have seen her too." Yu Peiyu said: "Yes." Mr. Dong Guo murmured: "It's a strange thing that she didn't kill you." Yu Peiyu said: "Why did she kill me?" 东郭先生道：“因为你也许就是世上惟一能揭破她秘密的人。” 俞佩玉道：“什么秘密？” 东郭先生道：“你可知道她姓什么？叫什么名字？” 他不等俞佩玉说话，自己又接着道：“你自然不会知道她的名字，世上本就没有几个人知道她的名字，因为她的名字本身就是个秘密。” Yu Peiyu said: "Why?" 东郭先生道：“因为她的名字叫姬悲情。” 俞佩玉道：“姬悲情？她难道和姬苦情有什么关系？” 东郭先生道：“当然有关系……她不但是姬苦情的妹妹，也是姬苦情的妻子。” 俞佩玉怔在那里，简直说不出话来。 东郭先生叹了口气，道：“冤孽……这本就是个冤孽……” 他苦笑着接道：“因为姬家的人，都有种疯狂的想法，总认为只有他们家里的人最优秀，别家的人都配不上他们。” 俞佩玉骇然道：“如此说来，他们……他们家里难道都是乱伦的种子？” 东郭先生叹道：“不错，就因为他们家世代都是兄妹成亲，所以生出的子女不是疯子，就是白痴，这姬悲情看来虽然美如天仙，其实也并不例外，也是个疯子。” 俞佩玉瞧了那雕像一眼，掌心不觉已沁出了冷汗。 东郭先生道：“但她却是个高傲的疯子，见到自己生下的竟是姬葬花那样的孽种，就不顾一切，绝裾而去，所以到了姬葬花这一代，只有他一个独子，才不得不和外姓通婚，纵然如此，姬葬花自始至终还是不肯和他的夫人同床共枕。” 俞佩玉这才明白姬灵风如何始终不肯承认姬葬花是她的父亲，也明白了姬夫人的痛苦。 但姬葬花若非姬灵风的父亲，谁是他的父亲呢？ 难道就是那躲藏在地道中的“姓俞的”？ 那“姓俞的”难道就是……俞佩玉越想越害怕，简直不敢想下去。 只不过有些事他又不得不想：“墨玉夫人”若真是姬苦情的妻子，又怎会将姬苦情杀死？这件事他自己亲眼目睹，也不能相信。 只听东郭先生道：“自此之后，姬苦情就变得更疯狂，那时江湖中突然发生了许多件震惊天下的无头案，有大宗珍宝神秘地被劫，许多名人神秘地被杀，做案的人武功高绝，手脚干净，谁也想不到这做案的人就是姬苦情。” 这段话俞佩玉已在“杀人庄”的地道中，听那神秘的高老头说过一次，可见这东郭先生说的话也不假。 东郭先生道：“当时武林中虽然动员了数十高手，但却只有一个人猜出做案的就是姬苦情，而他的想法偏偏也无人相信。” 俞佩玉动容道：“前辈难道认得这人？” 东郭先生笑了笑，道：“我当然认得他，因为他就是我的二弟'万里飞鹰'东郭高。” 俞佩玉也早就想到那神秘的“高老头”必有一段辉煌的过去，但是，却再也想不到他竟会和“东郭先生”有如此密切的关系。 东郭先生凝注着他，目中带着笑意，道：“我知道你必定也认得他的，是不是？” 俞佩玉叹道：“晚辈身受那位前辈的恩惠更重，他对弟子实有再造之恩。” 东郭先生道：“我那二弟非但轻功高绝，嫉恶如仇，医道之高明，更是天下无双，纵令华陀复生，刀圭之术也未必能比得上他。” 俞佩玉摸着自己的脸，不禁自心底生出了敬意。 东郭先生道：“姬苦情经我二弟逼得走投无路，只有诈死，逃出了杀人庄，远遁穷荒，去寻找他的妻子'墨玉夫人'姬悲情。” 俞佩玉道：“那时姬悲情也在关外？” 东郭先生道：“不错！这两人在关外会合之后，野心仍不死，一直都在准备卷土重来，君临天下，但他们对我兄弟两人却始终还存着畏惧之心，自己始终不敢出面，只有利用一个在武林中声誉素佳的人来做他们的傀儡。” 俞佩玉面上一阵扭曲，嗄声道：“前辈说的自然就是那俞……俞某人了。” 东郭先生目光露出一丝怜悯同情之色，柔声道：“放鹤老人乃武林中少见的正人君子，怎肯助他们为恶，他们也明知此点，所以只有下毒手将放鹤老人除去，再找个人来伪冒俞放鹤，他们一心要借俞放鹤的侠名，行事自然不择手段。” 听到这里，俞佩玉心里又是悲愤，又是感动。 悲愤的是因为他又想到家园的惨变、亡父的惨死。 感动的却是这许多日子来，第一次有人为他抱不平，第一次有人了解他父子的冤屈，第一次有人肯替他说话。 东郭先生拍了拍他肩头，柔声道：“天网恢恢，疏而不漏，你现在虽受尽了世人的冷眼，但将来总有一天，冤情大白，你就可扬眉吐气了。” 俞佩玉只觉胸中一阵热血上涌，热泪几将夺眶而出，匐地叩首说道：“前辈莫非早已知道弟子的身世。” 东郭先生扶起了他，柔声道：“我自然早就知道了，你可记得，就在你横遭不幸的那一天，我已见到了你，那时我就知道你必有忍辱负重的勇气。” 俞佩玉长长呼吸了几次，使自己的心情略为平静了些，黯然道：“弟子只有一件事还不明白。” 东郭先生道：“什么事？” 俞佩玉咬牙道：“假冒先父的那恶贼究竟是谁呢？他为何也有一身'先天无极'门的武功？而且还能将先父的神情举止都学得惟妙惟肖，一般无二。” 东郭先生沉默了很久，才长长叹息了一声，道：“龙生九子，子子不同，放鹤老人虽然恬淡高远，大仁大义，他的兄弟俞独鹤却是个心如枭狡的畜生。” 俞佩玉想到那本“账簿”上记载的事，身子不禁一阵战栗，手足也立刻变得冰冰冷冷，颤声道：“难道……难道那恶贼就是我的……我的二叔？” 东郭先生叹道：“有些话，我也不便在你面前说，但你却要明白，你那二叔虽然说是被逼离家的，你父亲却从未有丝毫对他不起。” 俞佩玉黯然垂首，惟有点头而已。 东郭先生道：“俞独鹤离开了你父亲之后，更是为所欲为，无恶不作，染了满手的血腥，也结了无数的仇家，只不过他武功既高，行踪又飘忽，别人虽恨不得将他碎尸万段，却只恨无法追查出他的下落来。” 他徐徐接道：“直到有一天，那天正是大年初二，他在洛阳名妓'大乔'家里喝酒狂欢，不觉酩酊大醉，只因他再也想不到'大乔'竟也是他仇家的眼线。” 俞佩玉喃喃道：“大年初二……” 他又记起在那杀人庄的地道中听到的话：“俞某人到杀人庄来时，正是大年初三……” 东郭先生道：“但俞独鹤实在也是个武林少见的人物，大醉中被十余高手围剿，还是被他杀出了重围，逃入了杀人庄。” 他叹了口气，接着道：“他知道杀人庄中一定有人会庇护他，何况他在'杀人庄'中轻车熟路，别人自也无法追及……” 俞佩玉忍不住问道：“那次难道并非他第一次逃入杀人庄么？” 东郭先生道：“他早已和姬夫人有了私情，姬灵风和姬灵燕姐妹就是他的女儿。” 俞佩玉只觉全身都凉了。 他立刻就想起那日在杀人庄的地道中，发现的那块玉佩，那时他觉得奇怪，“先天无极”门的珍藏怎会在杀人庄出现，还有那锦囊、绣像和上面的两句话：“常伴君侧，永勿相弃。” 只是那时他绝未想到姬夫人的情人竟是他的二叔。 他又想起姬灵风和姬灵燕姐妹总像是和他有种神秘的情感，原来这只因为他们身子里都流着有“俞家”的血！ 东郭先生道：“姬夫人将俞独鹤藏在地道中，自以为神不知，鬼不觉，谁知姬苦情诈死后也进入了那地道，恰巧遇见了俞独鹤。” 俞佩玉道：“他……他为何不……” 东郭先生不等他说完这句话，已明白了他要问的是什么，叹道：“姬苦情本来自然是想将俞独鹤杀了灭口的，但后来他却想到了这还大有可以利用的价值，也许认为他和自己臭味相投，所以只是劫走，并没有要他的命。” 这一点俞佩玉倒早就想到过了，俞独鹤若非在急猝中被人挟持而去，就绝不会将那锦囊和玉佩遗留在杀人庄的地道里。 东郭先生道：“姬苦情这一着闲棋并没有白走，俞独鹤和放鹤老人兄弟本就有虎贲中郎之似，只要稍加刀圭易容，便可令人难辨真伪，何况，他们兄弟自幼相处，俞独鹤对放鹤老人的语言神态，一举一动自然都了如指掌。” 他长长叹息了一声，接着道：“所以这所有的事都绝非巧合，可说每一步骤都是经过严密计划的，若没有'俞独鹤'，他们也许就不会将放鹤老人选作对象了。” 俞佩玉沉默了很久，才问道：“姬苦情也精于刀圭易容之术？” 东郭先生道：“不是他，是墨玉夫人，据说她的刀圭易容之术传自西洋波斯一带，虽和东郭高所习不同，都有异曲同工之妙。” 俞佩玉道：“前辈可知道她还有两位高足？” 东郭先生道：“你说的可是杨子江和海东青？” Yu Peiyu said: "Exactly." 东郭先生叹道：“这两人本质不坏，只可惜被她利用，据我看来，就连这两人对她的秘密都未必知道得很详细。” 俞佩玉喃喃道：“不错，连我都相信了她的话，她自己的徒弟又怎会不信，只不过……如此说来那'灵鬼'又是奉何人差遣的呢？” 东郭先生道：“自然也是姬悲情。” 俞佩玉忍不住问道：“那么，姬悲情为何又要灵鬼去杀她自己的门下杨子江和海东青？” 东郭先生道：“这说不定是因为杨子江和海东青渐渐已对她的秘密知道得多了，在这种人门下，若是知道的事情太多，便难免有杀身之危，也说不定是因为她自觉现在大业将成，已用不着杨子江和海东青。” 他叹了口气，嗄声接道：“无论如何，我早已说过他们兄妹都是疯子，他们的行事又岂可以常情衡度。” 俞佩玉道：“除了灵鬼外，她是否还有另外四鬼？” 东郭先生笑了笑，道：“那只不过是她故意耸人听闻而已，要人作鬼，并不是件容易事。” 俞佩玉默然半晌，喃喃道：“如此说来，杨子江和海东青也是一直被她蒙在鼓里的，他要我避入那山腰秘窟中，也许并无恶意，因为他也不知道姬苦情在那秘窟里，他们对我说的那些话，他们自己也信以为真……” 想到这里，他掌心不禁又沁出了冷汗。 因为事实若是如此，非但杨子江和海东青的处境都险极，朱泪儿和铁花娘更已入了虎口。 他现在就算想去救他们，也没法子，因为他根本就不知道“墨玉夫人”已将他们带到哪里。 但这东郭先生说的话是否全是事实呢？ 只听东郭先生道：“这些秘密虽是我多年来用尽各种方法才查探出来的，但有些也只不过是我的推测而已，可说全无证据，并不能完全令人信服……如今我若说俞放鹤乃是俞独鹤假冒的，天下又有谁相信？” 俞佩玉叹了口气，暗道：“连我对你说的话都不能完全相信，又何况别人？” 东郭先生凝注着他，徐徐道：“我知道你心里也不无怀疑之处，所以……我现在想先带你去见一个人。” Yu Peiyu said: "Who?" 东郭先生笑了笑，道：“你见到他时，就会知道的。” ※※※ 避开大路，从田陌间的小道走过去，有一曲流水。 小桥上朝露未干，桥那边竹篱掩映处，有茅屋三楹，鸡犬之声，隔篱传来，屋顶炊烟，随风袅娜。 俞佩玉远远就嗅到一股药香。 茅屋中是谁病了？ 是谁在煎药？ 竹篱半掩，檐下的红泥小火炉上，药已半沸，一只黑猫懒洋洋地伏在火炉旁取暖，四下寂无人声。 那煎药的人呢？ 东郭先生为什么要将俞佩玉带到这里来？ 突听“喵”的一声，那黑猫箭一般蹿起，蹿入东郭先生怀里，东郭先生抚着它绸子般的黑毛，大笑道：“好小黑，乖小黑，莫要抓爷爷的胡子。” 俞佩玉对猫狗都没有兴趣，正觉得无聊，突听一人道：“俞公子别来无恙。” 这声音就在他身后发出来的。 俞佩玉大惊回头，就看到一张熟悉的脸。 苍老的脸上，密密地刻划着风霜劳苦的痕迹，但一双带笑的眼睛，却清澈得有如明湖之秋水。 俞佩玉又惊又喜，失声道：“原来是你老人家在这里。” 此时此地，他能再见到“高老头”，当真是宛如隔世。 东郭高手里提着个大水桶，桶里装满了清水，他提着这么大一桶水来到俞佩玉身后，居然也全无声息。 他看到俞佩玉面上的刀疤，面色立刻就变了，但瞧了几眼后，目中又露出了笑意，喃喃道：“看来无论什么事都不能太完美了的，总要有些缺陷才好。” 俞佩玉只觉喉头仿佛被什么东西塞住了，想说话竟也说不出，东郭高拍了拍他肩头，展颜笑道：“我知道你想说什么，你不说也罢，屋子里还有个人日夜在惦念着你，你快去看看他吧！” 屋子里的人是谁？ 是谁病了？ 莫非是姬灵燕？ 是谢天璧？ 还是林黛羽？ 俞佩玉只觉手有些发抖，毕竟还是推门进去。 一个白衣人斜倚在床上，清癯的面容，蜡黄的脸色，半张半闭的眼睛中，闪闪地发着光。 一见到这人，俞佩玉再也忍不住心头狂喜，竟大叫了起来：“凤三哥，你怎会也在这里？” ※※※ 看到了凤三和“高老头”，俞佩玉对东郭先生的信心自然又增加了几分，但有几件事他还是觉得无法解释。 尤其是他亲眼见到那“墨玉夫人”将姬苦情杀死的——眼见的事，总比耳听的事为真。 他简要地向凤三叙出了这些日子里所发生的事，说到朱泪儿已被姬悲情骗走时，他心里又是痛苦，又是惭愧。 凤三反而安慰他，道：“姬悲情绝不会伤害泪儿，因为她将泪儿带走，只不过是为了要挟你，要你不敢做任何背叛她的事。” 俞佩玉垂首道：“我早就该想到这点的，我为什么要让她将泪儿带走？” 凤三微笑道：“其实你也用不着为泪儿担心，这孩子刁钻精灵，姬悲情也未必就能对付得了。” 俞佩玉也只有暂且放宽心事，却将那账簿和竹牌拿了出来，道：“这就是我在李渡镇那小楼下找得的！……” 凤三皱眉道：“销魂宫主怎会对一本账簿如此珍视？”
