Chapter 8 The Eighth Tiger's Lair

Tang Yu was laughing. Wuji was actually laughing too. Tang Yu smiled happily, because he was really happy in the first place. Wuji smiled as if he was really happy. Tang Yu stopped smiling. He suddenly asked Fan Yunshan: "Can you see what your Mr. Zhao is doing?" Fan Yunshan said: "He seems to be smiling." Tang Yudao: "How can he still laugh now?" Fan Yunshan said: "I don't know." Tang Yu sighed, and said, "I've always thought that I'm a very smart person, and others think I'm also very smart, but I can't figure out how he can laugh?"

Wuji said: "I didn't want to laugh at first, but I couldn't help it." Tang Yudao: "What is it that makes you find it so funny?" Wuji said: "There are many, many things." Tang Yudao: "Can you tell me one or two things?" Wuji said: "Yes." Tang Yudao: "Speak, I'll listen." Wuji said: "I think it's funny, but you may not find it funny." Tang Yu said: "It doesn't matter." Wuji said, "You still want to hear it?" Tang Yu said: "Yes." Wuji said: "If I say that a person who has been tapped on his acupuncture points and is tied up with a rope can stand up at any time, wouldn't you think it's funny?"

Tang Yu said: "Haha." Wuji said: "If I say that there is a person who has obviously been killed and will walk in from the outside at any time, will you also find it funny?" Tang Yu said: "Hahaha." He was laughing, but the gentle, moving smile on his face was gone. Wuji said: "I remember you said that although some things may not sound funny, but if you see it with your own eyes, you will burst into laughter." Of course Tang Yu also remembered that joke. Wuji said: "Some things are just the opposite. Although it sounds funny, when you really see it with your own eyes, you won't be able to laugh."

He stood up suddenly. He had obviously been tapped to his acupuncture points and was tied up with a rope, but he actually stood up. Tang Yu saw him stand up with his own eyes. Tang Yu couldn't laugh anymore. Then he saw a man who had obviously been killed walk in. He saw Ding Bei. The person who walked in from the outside was actually Ding Bei. The handle of the knife was still on his waist, and the blood stain under the handle was still as obvious as before. But he walked in alive. Wuji said, "Are you still alive?" Ding Beidao: "Do I look like a dead person?"

He's not like that. His face was ruddy and radiant, and he looked not only happy but healthy. Wuji said, "Didn't that knife kill you?" Ding Beidao: "That knife can't kill people at all." He suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist, and the blade immediately popped out, and he pressed his finger again, and the blade retracted. Wuji said: "It turns out that this is just a trick to deceive children." Ding Beidao: "But this kind of trick can't fool children, it can't even fool fools." Wuji said: "What kind of people can only be fooled by this kind of trick?"

Ding Beidao: "You can only deceive smart people. Sometimes the smarter you are, the easier it is to be fooled." Wuji was smiling, and said: "It turns out that smart people can also be fooled." Ding Beidao: "And you have to use stupid tricks to get fooled. Sometimes the stupider you are, the better." In fact, this is by no means a stupid trick. It was a complete plan, complex, thoughtful, and delicate. Even Tang Yu, an extremely smart person, had to think about it for a long time before he could figure out the ingenuity. But he managed to remain calm. This is not only because he is naturally calm, but also because he still has the last killer that he has not used.

He has absolute confidence in the two hidden weapons attached to his purse. He believes that no matter what the situation is, as long as he uses that hidden weapon, he can immediately turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory. No matter who encounters his hidden weapon, he will be smashed to pieces and die without a place to die! He is absolutely sure. Anyone in this situation will react - panic, anger, fear, contempt, justification, argument, begging, ridicule, impulsiveness. He had none of these reactions. Just because he didn't respond, others would never know what he was thinking?What's next?

This is a formidable opponent, but Wuji is determined to destroy him completely. Wuji looked at him and said with a smile: "Perhaps you have already thought that in our trick, only one key is the most important." Tang Yu actually smiled again, and said, "If you tell me, I'll still listen." Wuji said: "Actually, I already knew that you are Tang Yu!" Tang Yu said: "Oh?" Wuji said: "When you knocked out Hu Liezi, I already started to doubt it, but at that time I was not sure yet!" —— Hu Liezi's martial arts is not weak, you can knock him down with a single shot, just because he recognized you as Tang Yu, he never even dreamed that Tang Yu would betray him.

——You betrayed Hu Liezi and took the kid away just because you want to convince me that you are definitely not from the Tang family. ——You want to make me this friend just because you want to find a chance to kill me. ——You said that you went to Hefeng Mountain Villa to avoid revenge, but you were just covering up your real purpose. Wuji said: "This plan is really ingenious, but it's a pity that there is still one biggest loophole." Tang Yu said: "Oh?" Wuji said: "You can think of taking that child away. It is indeed a very clever move. It is also a good excuse to avoid hatred. It's a pity that you forget that lies will definitely be exposed."

He sighed, and continued: "A person who wants to do big things shouldn't lie about these small things. In fact, you don't need to take that child away. I will still make you a friend. You come to me, and you don't have to lie." Needless to say, it’s to avoid enmity, but it’s a pity that you have to pretend to be smart, and it’s self-defeating.” Tang Yu was silent, and after a long time, she also sighed and said, "A person who wants to do big things should not lie about small things. I will definitely remember this sentence." He suddenly realized that he really underestimated Zhao Wuji.

At that time, he always thought that these things were not only insignificant, but also had nothing to do with Zhao Wuji. He really didn't expect that Zhao Wuji would even investigate such a matter. It is still the territory of Dafengtang, and there are everyone under Dafengtang, so it is not difficult to investigate such things. Wuji said: "If you want to know whether a person is lying to you, you must investigate from these insignificant little places to find out the truth." Because other people will definitely plan very carefully at the important key points, and he will only start to act if you are sure that you will never find out anything. ——A single spark can start a prairie fire, and a long embankment of hundreds of miles will often collapse due to a small gap. An oversight, no matter how small, can lead to a fatal error. Wuji said: "After I exposed your lies, I couldn't conclude that you are Tang Yu, unfortunately..." It's a pity that Tang Yu dressed up as a woman again, even more like a woman than a woman. Only those who have practiced "Yin Jin" can act so realistically, because his masculine features have gradually disappeared. Tang Yu couldn't help asking: "How do you know that I'm practicing Yin Qi?" Wuji said: "Because you once killed Qiao Wen with Yin Jin." He continued indifferently: "With so many factors added up, if I don't know that you are Tang Yu, I'm really an idiot." The dilapidated Temple of the God of Wealth is dark and damp, and even has a disgusting stench. But none of the five of them noticed these things. Tang Yu still looked very calm, and asked again: "Since you already know that I am Tang Yu, why don't you act first and find a chance to kill me?" Wuji said: "Because you are still useful." Tang Yu said: "You want to use me to find out who the spies here are?" Wuji said: "I still want to use you to find out all the Tang family members who are lurking here." Now he has found the puppy, Fatty Wang, the orange vendor, and Wu Yichun's waiter from Tang Yu. From these people, he must be able to find more others. Wuji said: "We have suspected Fan Yunshan for a long time, but we can't be sure." So he arranged a trap with Ding Bei. Wuji said: "A real spy will not want to kill you, because only a real spy knows your identity and secret." He also calculated that they would take this opportunity to kill another person who was not a spy, so that he could be accused of being a spy and let the real spy go free. So he arranged for Ding Bei's "death" and made Tang Yu believe that Ding Bei was really dead. Wuji said: "So besides the blow on the back of his left neck, I have to give him another knife." Not only was this "knife" already arranged, but of course Ding Bei's waist had already been tampered with. Wuji said: "But if you look carefully, you will definitely see the flaw." Tang Yu said: "So, at that time, you had to drag me away quickly." Wuji said: "I know you must be more interested in 'God of Wealth', and you will definitely follow me." He handed Ding Bei over to Fan Yunshan, because Ding Bei could definitely control Fan Yunshan. Wuji said: "I have another matter for Ding Bei to do, and this matter is also a very important key." Tang Yu said: "What's the matter?" Wuji said: "How can a person who has been tapped on his acupuncture points and tied up with a rope suddenly stand up?" Tang Yu said: "Because the rope is not tied tightly, the acupoints have not really been tapped to death." Wuji asked, "Who tied the rope?" Tang Yu said: "It's Fan Yunshan." Wuji asked, "Who ordered the acupuncture points?" Tang Yu said, "It's also Fan Yunshan." Wuji said: "Why didn't he tie the rope tightly? Why didn't he hit the acupoints to death?" Because Fan Yunshan didn't want to die yet. He still needs to learn Taoism, make alchemy, hope to live forever, and continue to enjoy the "fairy fun". Wuji said: "Actually, you should have thought of this a long time ago. Since he can betray Dafengtang, why can't he betray you?" He asked Ding Bei, "How did you impress him?" Ding Beidao: "I just asked him, do you want to continue learning alchemy? Or do you want to die?" Wuji said: "You just give him two ways?" Ding Bei nodded and said, "He only has two paths to go!" Wuji said: "I think he must have considered for a long time before deciding which way to go?" Ding Bei smiled and said, "He has already made up his mind before I finish my words." Which path did Fan Yunshan choose?Even the stupidest person should be able to figure it out. Wuji said: "When I saw Fan Yunshan coming, I knew which way he was going." Because he is still alive, he can still practice alchemy and learn Taoism. Wuji said: "So, I asked you to hold my hand on purpose just now, because I must let him touch my acupuncture points." At that time, the God of Wealth had already rushed towards Tang Yu, and Tang Yu must let go of Wuji to deal with the God of Wealth. Only Fan Yunshan "just happened to be free" to touch Wuji's acupoints. Every detail in this plan is calculated accurately. Wuji said: "Since Fan Yunshan is already one of our people, of course the people he transferred here are also our people. There is absolutely no way for others to sneak in." ——Since no one can sneak in, of course no one can come to rescue Tang Yu. ——Now Tang Yucai is really completely isolated. Wuji smiled and said, "Even I am very satisfied with what I have done, what else do you have to say?" Tang Yu was speechless. Fortunately, he still has the last killer! ——The Tang Sect in the middle of Shu, shocked the world with its unique poison hidden weapon! ——The children of the Tang Sect came out to venture into the rivers and lakes, and each of them carried their unique poison hidden weapon that shocked the world. ——Most of the disciples of the Tang Sect are masters at sending and receiving hidden weapons. ——The technique of "flowers raining all over the sky" is a unique skill that has been handed down for a long time in the martial arts world! ——Tang Yu is definitely the top master among the disciples of the Tang Sect. These are all facts, everyone in Jianghu knows it, and Wuji shouldn't be ignorant of it. So he should think that Tang Yu must have a final killer! But he didn't seem to care at all. He should pay attention to Tang Yu's hand. Because a deadly hidden weapon could be released from these hands at any time. But he was looking at the God of Wealth. He suddenly asked, "Are you the God of Wealth?" The God of Wealth actually said, "I am not." Wuji asked again: "Who are you?" The God of Wealth actually said: "I am a thief." Being a thief is by no means an honorable thing. Why does the God of Wealth say he is a thief? Wuji said: "Thieves usually don't admit that they are thieves." The thief said: "But I must admit it." Wuji said, "Why?" The thief said, "Because I am different from other thieves." Wuji said, "What's the difference?" The thief said: "The things I steal are different from others. I only steal things that others don't want to steal, dare not steal, and can't steal." He suddenly asked Wuji: "Will other thieves steal the mice in your house?" Wuji said: "No." The thief said, "But I stole." He asked Wuji again: "Do other thieves dare to steal the tiger raised in Yuyuan Garden?" Wuji said, "Don't dare." The thief said: "But I dare to steal." He asked Wuji again: "Can other thieves steal the empress's foot wrap?" Wuji shook his head. The thief said, "But I can steal it." Wuji said: "It turns out that you are not only a thief, but also a master thief." The thief said: "I was originally." Wuji said: "But, these things seem to be worthless." The thief said: "I only steal these worthless things." Wuji said, "Why?" The thief said: "Because someone asked me to steal it." Wuji said, "You want someone to invite you to steal something?" The thief said: "Not only do you want to invite me, but you also want to pay me 50,000 taels." Wuji said, "What is fifty thousand taels?" The thief said: "Fifty thousand taels of silver, pay first." Wuji said, "Why do you have to pay first?" The thief said: "Because my credit has always been very good, as long as I get the money, no matter what others ask me to steal, I will definitely be able to steal it." Wuji said: "I remember that there seemed to be someone like this before." The thief asked, "Who?" Wuji said: "Sikong Zhaixing." The thief laughed. Wuji said: "You also know him?" The thief said: "Not only do I know him, but I also recognize him." He laughed so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth: "I happen to be his apprentice." There are talented people from generation to generation, and the same is true in martial arts. Every generation has its own famous heroes, each leading the coquettish, occupying all the coquettishness. Ximen Chuuxue. The unparalleled swordsman in the world, the invincible swordsmanship in the world, lonesome and arrogant, dressed in white as snow. ——Ye Gucheng. The Immortal Flying Outside the Sky, the lord of Baiyun City, made an appointment to fight Ximen Chuuxue at the top of the Forbidden City, and his reputation has moved the world without a fight. ——Honest monk. This monk never tells lies, eats cold steamed buns, and wears ragged clothes. ——The building is full of flowers. Although a pair of eyes are blind, a heart is as bright as the moon. —— Wooden Taoist. The first in chess, the third in swordsmanship, also crazy and Taoist, a famous Wudang legend. Although they are all famous heroes of the previous generation, their sword names can definitely be passed down for thousands of years. Besides them, of course there was Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows. Lu Xiaofeng, who was so poor and had nothing to stand on, was so rich that he could rival a country. The only person in the Jianghu who can hold Ye Gucheng's sword "Flying Immortal" with two fingers is Lu Xiaofeng. Ximen Chuuxue's only friend is Lu Xiaofeng. What Taoist Mu admired most was Lu Xiaofeng. Huamanlou respects Lu Xiaofeng the most. The honest monk wanted to run away when he saw Lu Xiaofeng. But Lu Xiaofeng got a headache when he saw Sikong Zhaixing. Lu Xiaofeng's name for Sikong Zhaixing is: ——The king of stealing kings, the invincible hand of stealing all over the world. Sikong Zhaixing can steal anything, and can steal anything. Sikong Zhaixing is tall and tall, with a protruding chest and belly, but he has a kung fu that is unparalleled in the world. Lu Xiaofeng once had a tussle with him, and whoever lost would have to dig earthworms.It turned out that Lu Xiaofeng was the one who dug up the earthworms. After ten days and ten nights of digging, his body was covered in mud. Now the thief actually said that he was Sikong Zhaixing's apprentice. Wuji said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" The thief said: "You're welcome, you're welcome." Wuji said, "Your surname." The thief said: "My surname is Guo." Wuji said, "Your name." The thief said, "Que'er." Wuji said: "Are you the King of Thieves of this generation, the invincible Guo Que'er who stole all over the world?" The thief said, "I am." Wuji said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Guo Que'er said: "You're welcome, you're welcome." Wuji said, "What is your business here?" Guo Que'er said: "I don't have anything else to do, I just came here to steal something." Wuji said: "This time, someone invited you to steal it?" Guo Que'er said, "But this time I'm free." Wuji said: "The rule cannot be broken, why are you free this time?" Guo Que'er said: "Because Sikong Xiaofeng of your Dafeng Hall happens to be my master's cousin, and that Ding Bei standing next to you happens to be my friend." Wuji said, "Ding Bei invited you here?" Guo Que'er sighed, and said, "At first he couldn't find me, but I'm unlucky, and I happened to be unlucky, and I happened to be drinking in his kennel last night." Wuji said, "What did he invite you to steal?" Guo Que'er said, "What you stole is nothing but scraps and worthless things." Wuji said, "Did you steal it?" Guo Que'er got a little angry: "Is there anything in the world that Guo Que'er can't steal?" Wuji said: "Since you stole it, where is it?" Guo Que'er said, "It's right here." His hand was originally empty, but when he stretched out his hand now, there were two more things in his hand. A nobile, a purse. A pouch made of satin with two peonies embroidered in gold thread, one on the front and one on the back. Tang Yu was finally knocked down. Although his body hadn't fallen, his will and confidence had completely collapsed. This kind of inner collapse is far more terrifying than being knocked down physically. Wuji laughed. He has been paying attention to Tang Yu's reaction when he sees these two things, and now anyone can see that this person has been completely destroyed.The rest is just an empty shell. Wuji said, "Only these two things? Nothing else?" Guo Que'er said: "I thought there were other things at first, but I didn't expect that Mr. Tang actually only has these two treasures on him, and this gold hairpin is actually hollow." He sighed: "A thief who encounters such a hollow person is really very bad luck." Wuji said, "How do you know that the gold hairpin is empty?" Guo Que'er said: "I knew it as soon as I got it in my hand, because the portion is not right at all." Wuji's eyes shone, and he smiled and said, "Although the gold hairpin is empty, I can guarantee that the things inside are definitely much more valuable than gold." He added: "It is said that Tang family's broken soul sand can also be bought." Guo Que'er said: "I've also heard people say that as long as you go the right way and afford the price, you can buy it." Ding Beidao: "This is not enough." Guo Que'er said: "What else?" Ding Beidao: "They have to investigate all three generations of your ancestors before they are willing to sell it to you." Guo Que'er said, "What price?" Ding Beidao: "It is said that five hundred taels of gold buys one or two soul-breaking sands." Wuji said, "Where's the poison needle?" Ding Beidao: "Probably a few hundred taels." Wuji suddenly took out a paper bag, which contained a half-broken embroidery needle. He smiled and said, "If it's five hundred taels of gold, this half silver needle should be worth at least three hundred taels." Ding Beidao: "Three hundred taels of gold can be regarded as a small fortune." Guo Que'er asked, "Where did you find it?" Wuji said, "From the saddle." He sighed again: "I couldn't figure out why this Mr. Tang went to the stable in the middle of the night, so I followed him to have a look. He went in and turned around and then came out, but I searched for more than an hour." Just because he stayed in the stable for a long time, he didn't know that Lian Yilian was coming. Now it seems that it is just a small thing, and it is not important at all. But there are many trivial things that were originally insignificant, but later changed the fate of a person's life! Guo Que'er said: "One tael of broken soul sand, five hundred taels of gold, very expensive price." Tang Yu suddenly sneered and said, "I'll buy it if there's such a price, and I'll buy as much as I can." Guo Que'er said: "Could it be that you can't even buy it at this price?" Tang Yu said: "There is still a long way to go." Guo Que'er said, "What should the price be?" Tang Yu said: "One thousand taels of gold is not a high-quality product." Wuji said: "Actually, the price is not too expensive." Ding Beidao: "Isn't that expensive?" Wuji said: "—Qianduanhunsha, maybe it can kill several people." Tang Yu said: "If you use it correctly, you can kill three people." Wuji said: "Besides, after you use the Tang family's soul-breaking sand to kill someone, others will definitely pay the debt to the Tang family. You only need to spend one thousand taels of gold, and there will be no future troubles after killing someone. " He smiled and said, "If you understand this, you won't think the price is expensive." Ding Bei finally admitted: "The price does not seem to be too expensive." This was originally one of the Tang family's biggest sources of income, and it was not easy to maintain such a large family.Manufacturing such hidden weapons is also a very expensive matter. Guo Que'er said: "In this way, isn't this golden hairpin worth several thousand taels of gold?" Tang Yu said: "This is priceless, and you can't buy it at all." Guo Que'er said, "Why?" Tang Yudao: "Because the broken soul sand here is a high-quality product, and the needles in the purse are also high-quality products." Guo Que'er smiled and said, "It seems that I should be more careful not to be picked up by others." Tang Yu said: "Don't worry, I won't do such a stupid thing." He suddenly sighed and said sadly: "Now I have surrendered." Guo Que'er said: "A smart person is one who is willing to admit defeat." Tang Yu said: "You can take the soul-breaking sand in the golden hairpin and the poisonous needle in your purse." Guo Que'er said, "Thank you." Tang Yu said: "You can take my head at any time." Guo Que'er said, "Although I don't want your head, I know someone wants it." Tang Yu said: "What about this purse, will someone want it?" Guo Que'er looked at Ding Bei, Ding Bei looked at Wuji, and Wuji said, "Do you want us to return this purse to you?" Tang Yu said: "I don't want to." He slowly continued: "Because I know you will never give it back to me, you will definitely think that I am trying to play tricks again." Mowgli doesn't deny it. Tang Yu said: "I just hope that you can destroy this purse for me." Although this request is very strange, it cannot be regarded as excessive. Tang Yu said: "I only hope that before I die, I can see you destroy this purse with my own eyes." Wuji said, "Why?" Tang Yu said: "Because..." The expression on his face became sad: "Because I don't want to see it fall into other people's hands." Although he didn't say the reason, everyone has already thought that there must be a sad past in this purse, which is related to a dead lover. Before a person dies, he always becomes particularly sentimental.After all, Tang Yu is also a human being. Guo Que'er was obviously moved. Although Ding Bei's temper is hard, his heart is not hard, even Wuji can't see any tricks in it. No one would have guessed that there are secrets in the hearts of these two peonies. No matter what method you use to destroy this purse, as long as the hearts of these two peonies are broken, not only you are finished, but the people within a ten-foot radius will surely die as well. No matter who destroys this purse, others will definitely stand nearby. Tang Yu is of course an exception. He must have avoided it far away, because only he knows the secret! After countless years of planning, gathering the wisdom of countless people, and spending countless money and manpower, they created this secret! They call this secret— "Scattering Flower Goddess!" The plan to manufacture this hidden weapon was drafted by Tang Que, and then it was drawn up with the consent of all the core figures in the Tang family. The first step of the plan is to make friends with Thunderbolt, because they must obtain the formula of Thunderbolt's secret gunpowder. This matter is easy to say, but in fact it is extremely difficult. Thunderbolt Hall Master Lei Zhentian is by no means an easy person to deal with. It took them three years of hard work, and even the most beautiful daughter of the Tang family was given to Lei Zhentian as a gift, before they finally moved him. The second step of the plan is to combine the gunpowder from the Thunderbolt Hall with the hidden weapons of the Tang family to create a new hidden weapon. This kind of hidden weapon should be like poisonous thorns, able to hit far, and like arsenopyrite, able to scatter. Poisonous Tribulus terrestris is made of thirteen leaves, each leaf has a strong poison, and the toxicity of each leaf is different. If they could add the gunpowder of the Thunder Hall, as long as the hidden weapon is fired, no matter what it touches, the gunpowder will be detonated, and the thirteen leaves will fly out, wouldn't it be hard to guard against? If they can really create this kind of hidden weapon, they will be invincible in the world. They actually did it. This kind of unprecedented hidden weapon that surpasses everything is called—— Flower Goddess! Under the flickering light, these two peonies are not only beautiful, but also eye-catching. Guo Que'er sighed and said, "These two flowers are really well embroidered." Ding Bei also sighed, and said, "It's really great." Guo Que'er said: "Although I don't know who embroidered this, I can imagine it." Ding Beidao: "It must be a passionate and beautiful girl..." A passionate and gentle girl secretly embroidered this purse under the light without telling her family, and gave it to her lover. Unfortunately, after the purse was embroidered, she died.So her lover carried this purse with him until his death, unwilling to let it fall into the hands of others. What a sad and touching story this is. A young man with rich feelings, seeing such a purse, would easily think of such things. Both Guo Que'er and Ding Bei happened to be such people. They are not only easily moved, but also full of romantic and wonderful fantasies. What's more, this purse is not an important thing, why not help others? Guo Que'er said, "What do you think?" Ding Beidao: "I have no objection." No opinion usually means no objection. Guo Que'er said: "Then you can destroy this purse for Mr. Tang." Ding Beidao: "Why are you looking for me?" Guo Que'er said: "Because I can't be cruel, I can't do it." Ding Beidao: "How do you know I can do it?" None of them asked Wuji. There was no hatred between them and Tang Yu, they had no idea what kind of person Tang Yu was. They even began to feel that Wuji was too heartless, because Tang Yu seemed to be very affectionate. Guo Que'er suddenly thought of a good idea: "Why don't we return this purse to Mr. Tang?" Anyway, his mission has been completed, so whatever Zhao Wuji wants to do with Tang Yu, or how Tang Yu wants to deal with this purse, is none of his business. Ding Bei immediately agreed: "Good idea." That's a really good idea. If they know how good this idea is, they don't need to wait for others to do it, they will kill themselves head-on. ——Guo Que'er has emptied the purse, because he has decided to return the purse to Tang Yu. —Will he change his mind? —Will Wuji stop him? Tang Yu's heart was beating, beating so fast. Not only did his heart beat faster, his fingertips were cold, his lips were dry, and his throat seemed to be blocked. It had been many, many years since he had felt this way for the first time. It was April and spring, and he was still a big boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. The weather that day was hotter than today, and he suddenly felt indescribably irritable. It was very late at that time, he wanted to sleep but couldn't, so he slipped out alone, wandered east and west, and wandered to his cousin's back garden, when he heard a burst of singing. The singing came from a small room inside his cousin's boudoir. Besides the singing, there was also the sound of water. The sound of water is the sound that a person makes while taking a bath. There are lights in the cabin. There are lights not only from the windows, but also from the cracks in the doors. He didn't want to go there at first, but his heart was very troubled, not the usual kind of trouble, but an inexplicable trouble. So he passed. There is a gap more than half an inch wide under the door. As long as you lie on the ground, you can definitely see the people in the cabin. ——He bent down, lying on the ground, with his ears pressed to the ground, and his eyes close to the slit. He saw his cousin. His cousin was only sixteen at the time. His cousin is taking a bath in the hut. A sixteen-year-old girl, already very mature, already has very firm breasts and very strong thighs. That was the first time he saw a woman's mature and plump carcass, and it was also the first time he committed a crime. But that time his heartbeat was not as fast as it is now. Guo Que'er had already thrown out her purse. It was only a moment from when he heard that Tang Yu was going to destroy the purse to when he threw it away. But for Tang Yu, this moment is simply longer than a Jiazi. Now the purse has been thrown over, and the peonies embroidered with gold thread are shining in the air. In Tang Yu's eyes, there is absolutely nothing in the world more beautiful than this flash of light. He tried his best to control himself, not to appear too excited or anxious. When the purse fell to the ground, he slowly bent down to pick it up. What he picked up was not only a purse, but also a pair of hidden weapons, his life was also picked up. Not only his own life, but also Zhao Wuji's, Fan Yunshan's, Ding Bei's, and Guo Que'er's. At this moment, he became the master again, and the lives of these people were already in his hands. What a glorious, what a great moment! Tang Yu couldn't help laughing, laughing loudly. Guo Que'er looked at him in surprise, and said, "What are you laughing at?" Tang Yu said: "I'm laughing at you!" He has already pinched the two "Scattering Flower Goddesses" in his hands that surpassed all hidden weapons in ancient and modern times. He laughed loudly and said, "You would never have thought that what you did just now was such a stupid thing. You not only killed Ding Bei and Zhao Wuji, but you also killed yourself!" Guo Que'er was still looking at him in surprise, and everyone was looking at him in surprise.Not because of his smile, let alone the words he said, but because of his face. A strange change suddenly appeared on his face. No one could tell what had changed, but everyone could see it. At this moment, his gaze suddenly became dull, and his pupils shrank suddenly. Then, the muscles at the corners of his mouth and eyes seemed to become stiff, and a mysterious dead black suddenly appeared on his face. However, he himself didn't seem to feel it at all. He is still laughing. However, a look of fear suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he had realized that he had made another fatal mistake. He forgot that his hands were neither gloved nor waxed to protect the skin. He was too excited, so he pulled down the two hidden weapons empty-handed. He was too hard, and the needle tip of the hidden weapon pierced his fingertips. There was no pain, not even that numbness. The poison on this hidden weapon is the latest one they have refined, and they haven't even successfully researched the antidote. This kind of hidden weapon has not reached the level of general use. By the time he noticed a strange and terrifying change in all his muscles and joints, it was too late. He couldn't control himself, he couldn't even laugh, he couldn't even use his own hands. He wanted to send out the two hidden weapons in his hand, but his hands no longer obeyed the command. At this moment, this poison has completely destroyed his nerve center. It was a horrible thing to see someone who was obviously terrified and kept laughing. Guo Que'er said, "What's going on?" Wuji said: "Poison!" Guo Que'er asked, "Where did the poison come from?" Wuji didn't answer, Tang Yu's hand suddenly twitched, his movements were weird and clumsy, like the movements of a puppet. The command sent from his brain just now was passed to his hand. Only now did he send out the hidden weapon. But his muscles and joints had stiffened, and his accuracy had completely disappeared. The two hidden weapons flew out obliquely, as if they were ejected by a clumsy machine crossbow, with great force, they flew until they hit the wall at the farthest corner of the Temple of Wealth. Then there was the sound of the "wave", the sound was not too loud, but the result was astonishing. Fortunately, Wuji and the others stood far away and responded quickly.Finally, it was not hit by the flying fragments. But what happened in this instant is something they will never forget in their lifetime. Because at this moment, they are equivalent to taking a trip to the edge of hell. The smoke and dust flying in the sky, and the flying fragments of light have finally all fallen now. The cold sweat is not dry yet. Everyone has cold sweat on their bodies, because everyone has seen the power of this hidden weapon with their own eyes. After a long time, Guo Que'er was able to let out the breath that was stuffed in his chest. "so close!" Now of course he knew what a stupid thing he had just done. He looked at Wuji, smiled wryly and said, "I almost killed you just now!" Wuji said: "It's really close." Guo Que'er stared at him for a long time again, and said, "Just now you almost died in my hands, now, that's all you have to say?" Wuji said, "Do you want me to scold you?" Guo Que'er said: "Yes." 无忌笑了：“我也很想骂你一顿，因为我不骂你，你反而会觉得我这个人城府太深，太阴沉，不容易交朋友的。” 郭雀儿居然也承认：“说不定我真会这么想的。” 无忌叹了口气，说道：“可惜我不能骂你。” 郭雀儿道：“为什么？” 无忌说道：“因为，我还没有被你害死。” 郭雀儿道：“我如真的害死了你，你怎能骂我？” 无忌道：“我若被你害死，当然也没有法子再骂人。” 郭雀儿道：“那你现在为什么不骂我一顿？” 无忌笑道：“既然我还没有被你害死，为什么要骂你？” 郭雀儿怔住了，怔了半天，可不能不承认：“你说的好像也有点道理。” 无忌道：“本来就有道理。” 他大笑：“就算你认为我这道理狗屁不通，也没有法子跟我抬杠的。” 郭雀儿道：“为什么？” 无忌道：“因为我说的有道理。” 郭雀儿也笑了，道：“现在我总算又明白了一件事了。” Wuji said, "What's the matter?" 郭雀儿道：“千万不能跟你讲道理，宁可跟你打架，也不能跟你讲道理。”他大笑：“因为谁也讲不过你。” 刚才他心里本来充满了悔恨和歉意，可是现在已完全开朗。 现在，他心里已完全承认无忌说的有理。 能够让别人心情开朗的话，就算没有理，也是有理的。 唐玉也没有死。 他居然还没有倒下，还是和刚才一样，动也不动的站在那里。 可是他的脸已完全麻木了，刚才骤然收缩的瞳孔，现在已扩散，本来很明亮锐利的一双眼睛，现在已变得呆滞无神，连眼珠都已经不会转动，看起来就像是条死鱼。 丁北走过去，伸出手在他眼前晃了晃，他的眼睛居然还是直勾勾的瞪着前面，丁北伸出一根手指，轻轻一推，他就倒了下去。 但是他并没有死。 他还在呼吸，他的心还在跳，脉搏也在跳。 每个人都应该看得出，他自己心里一定情愿死了算了。 他这样子实在比死还难受，实在还不如死了的好。 可惜他偏偏死不了。 难道冥冥中真的有个公正无情的主宰，难道这就是老天对他的惩罚？ 丁北心里居然也觉得有种说不出的恐惧：“他为什么还没有死？” 樊云山忽然道：“因为他是唐玉。” 樊云山今年已五十六岁，在江湖中混了大半生，这么样一个人，无论是善是恶，是好是坏，至少总有一样好处。 这种人一定很识相，很知趣。 所以他很了解自己现在所处的地位，他一直都默默的站在旁边，没有开过口。 但是他还想活下去，活得好些，如果有机会表现，他还是不肯放弃。 丁北道：“因为他是唐玉，所以才没有死？” 樊云山道：“不错。” 丁北道：“是不是因为老天故意要用这种法子来罚他这种人？” 樊云山道：“不是。” 丁北道：“是为了什么？” 樊云山道：“因为他是唐家的人，中的是唐家的毒，他对这种毒性，已有了抗力。” 丁北道：“抗力？” 樊云山道：“如果你天天服砒霜，分量日渐加重，日子久了之后，别人用砒霜就很难毒死你，因为你对这种毒药已有了抗力。” 丁北说道：“既然唐玉对这种暗器上的毒，已有了抗力，为什么还会变成这样子？” 樊云山道：“唐家淬炼暗器的毒药是独门配方，江湖中从来没有人知道他们的秘密。” 丁北道：“你也不知道？” 樊云山道：“可是我知道，如果这种暗器上的毒药，是种新的配方，唐玉虽然已对其中某些成分有了抗力，对新的成分还是无法适应。” 他想了想，又道：“而且毒药的配合不但神秘，而且奇妙，有些毒药互相克制，有些毒药配合在一起，却会变成另一种更剧急的毒，这种毒性虽然毒不死他，却可以把他的知觉完全摧毁，甚至可以使他的经脉和关节完全麻木。” 丁北道：“所以他才会变成这么样一个半死不活的人？” 樊云山道：“因为他身体里大部分器官都已失去效用，只不过比死人多了一口气而已。” 丁北看着他，道：“想不到你对毒药也这么有研究，你是不是也炼过毒？” 樊云山道：“我没有炼过毒，可是炼毒和炼丹的道理却是一样的。” 他叹了口气，又道：“炼丹的人只要有一点疏忽，也会变成这样子。” 丁北道：“这岂非是在玩火？” 樊云山苦笑道：“玩火绝没有这么危险。” 丁北道：“你为什么还要炼下去？” 樊云山沉默着，过了很久，才黯然道：“因为我已经炼了。” 因为他已经骑虎难下，无法自拔。 世上有很多事都是这样的，只要你一开始，就无法停止。 一个半死不活的人，无论是对他的朋友，还是对他的仇敌，都是个问题。 丁北道：“这个人好像已死了，又好像没有死，我实在不知道应该怎么办了。” Wuji said: "I know." 丁北道：“你准备怎么样？” 无忌道：“我准备送他回去。” 丁北道：“回去？回到哪里去？” 无忌道：“他是唐家的人，当然要送回到唐家去。” 丁北呆了。 他的耳朵和眼睛都很灵，可是现在他几乎不能相信自己的耳朵。 他忍不住要问：“你在说什么？” 无忌一个字一个字的说道：“我说我准备把他送回去，送回唐家去。” 丁北道：“你要亲自送他回去？” Wuji said: "Yes." 灯油已残了，月色却淡淡的照了进来，这古老的财神庙，竟变得仿佛很美。 他们还没有走。 也不知是谁提议的：“我们为什么不在这里坐坐，聊聊天，喝点酒？” 于是樊云山就抢着去沽酒。 一个五十六岁的老人，居然要去替三个年轻小伙子去沽酒，这种事以前他一定会觉得很荒谬，无法忍受。 可是现在情况不同了。 他相信无忌、丁北绝不会食言，也不会再重提旧事，找他算账，但是这并不表示他们已经完全原谅了他。 从他们说话的口气里，他听得出他们心里还是看不起他的。 可是现在他已经没法子去计较了。 他只希望他们能让他回家乡去，在那里，谁也不知道他曾经做过奸细，还是会像以前那么样尊敬他，把他当朋友。 现在他才知道，一个人实在不应该做出卖朋友的事，否则连自己都会看不起自己。 他已经在后悔。 唐玉已经被抬到那张破旧的神案上，无忌还扯下了一幅神帐替他盖起来。 郭雀儿也不知从哪里找出了几个蒲团，盘膝坐着，看着无忌，忽然道：“你知不知道最近我常听人说起你？” 无忌笑笑：“想不到我居然也成了个名人。” 一个人开始有名的时候，自己总是不会知道的，就正如他的名气衰弱时，他自己也不会知道一样。 郭雀儿道：“有人说你是个浪子，在你成婚的那天，还去宿娼。” 无忌笑笑，既不否认，也不辩白。 郭雀儿道：“有人说你是个赌徒，重孝在身，就去赌场里掷骰子。” 无忌又笑笑。 郭雀儿道：“有人说你非但无情无义，而且极自私，甚至对自己嫡亲的妹妹和未过门的妻子都漠不关心，有人甚至打赌，说你就算看见她们死在你面前，也绝不会掉一滴眼泪。” 无忌还是不辩白。 郭雀儿道：“所以大家都认为你是很危险的人，因为你冷酷无情，城府极深，而且工于心计，连焦七太爷那种老狐狸都曾经栽在你手里。” 他想了想，又道：“可是大家也都承认你有一样好处，你很守信，从不欠人的债，在你成婚的那天，还把你的债主约齐，把旧账全都算清。” 无忌微笑道：“那也许只因为我算准了他们绝不会在那种日子把我迫得太急，因为他们都不是穷凶极恶的人。” 郭雀儿道：“你的意思是说，这只不过表示你很会把握机会，也很会利用别人的弱点，所以才故意选那个日子找他们来算账？” 无忌道：“这样做虽然有点冒险，可是至少总比提心吊胆的等着他们来找的好。” 郭雀儿道：“不管怎么样，你对丁北总算不错，别人都看不起他，认为他是个不孝的孽子，叛师的恶徒，你却把他当朋友看待。” 无忌道：“那也许只不过因为我想利用他来替我做成这件事，所以，我只有信任他，只有找他帮忙，唐玉和樊云山才会上当。” 他笑了笑，道：“何况我早就知道他既不是孽子，也不是叛徒，有关他的那些传说，其实都另有隐情。” 郭雀儿当然也知道，丁北离家，只因为他发现了他后母的私情。 他杀了他后母的情人，逼他的后母立誓，永不再做这种事，为了不愿他老父伤心，他一定要瞒起这件事。 他父亲却认为他忤逆犯上，对后母无礼。 所以他只有走。 他叛师，只因为有人侮辱了金鸡道人，他不能忍受，替他的师父约战那个人，被砍断了一条手臂，他师父却将他赶出了武当，因为他已是个残废，不配再练武当剑法。 无忌道：“无论谁遇到这种事，都会变成他这种脾气的，可是像他这种人，只要别人对他有一点好，他甚至愿把自己的脑袋割下来。” 郭雀儿道：“就因为这缘故，所以你才对他好？” 无忌道：“至少这是原因之一。” 郭雀儿道：“听你这么样说，好像连你自己都认为自己不是个好人？” 无忌道：“我本来就不是。” 郭雀儿盯着他，忽然叹了口气，道：“可惜可惜。” 无忌道：“可惜什么。” 郭雀儿道：“可惜这世界上像你这样的坏人太少了。” 丁北笑了：“这个雀儿虽然又刁又狂，但一个人是好是坏，他至少还能分得出的。” 郭雀儿道：“这个雀儿也还能分得出谁是个朋友。” 无忌看着他们，道：“你们真的认为我是朋友？” 郭雀儿道：“如果你不是个朋友，我跟你说这些废话干什么？” 无忌叹了口气，说道：“想不到世界上真有你这样的呆子，居然要交上我这种朋友。” 郭雀儿道：“呆子至少总比疯子好一点。” 无忌道：“谁是疯子？” 郭雀儿道：“你。” Wuji laughed. “我本来以为我只不过是个浪子，是个赌鬼，想不到我居然是个疯子。” 郭雀儿道：“现在上官刃虽然做了唐家的东床快婿，正是春风得意的时候，可是我想他心里一定还有件不痛快的事。” Wuji said, "Why?" 郭雀儿道：“因为你还没有死。” 斩草不除根，春风吹又生，没有把无忌也一起杀了，上官刃一定很后悔。 郭雀儿道：“如果唐家的人知道你做的这些事，一定也很希望能把你的脑袋割下来，让唐玉的父母叔伯，兄弟姐妹都去看看。” 他叹了口气：“现在你居然要把唐玉送回去，好像生怕他们找不到你，如果你不是疯子，怎么会做这种事？” 无忌虽然还在笑，笑得却很凄凉。 只有一个隐藏着很多心事，却不能说出来的人，才会这么样笑。 他笑了很久，笑得脸都酸了。 他忽然不笑了，因为他已决定要把这两个人当作朋友。 有很多事虽然不能向别人说出来，在朋友面前却不必隐瞒。 他说：“我不是个孝子，先父遇难后，我既没有殉死，也没有在先父的墓旁结庐守孝，既没有痛哭流涕，哭得两眼出血，也没有呼天号地，到处去求人复仇。” 他看起来实在不像是个孝子，好像已忘记了复仇这件事。 他认为孝子并不是做给别人看的，决心也不是做给别人看的。 他说道：“这是我自己的事，我不想连累任何人，也不想让大风堂为了这件事和唐门正面冲突，因为那样流的血太多。杀人者死，上官刃非死不可，无论为了什么原因我都绝不能放过他。” 郭雀儿道：“所以你一定要自己去找他？” 无忌道：“既然没有别的力量去制裁他，我只有自己动手。” 他又道：“可是唐门组织严密，范围庞大，唐家堡里就有几百户人家，我就算能混进去，也未必能找得到上官刃。” 郭雀儿道：“据说，唐家堡也和紫禁城一样，分成内外三层，最里面一层，才是唐家直系子弟和重要人物住的地方。” 丁北道：“唐家所有的机密大事，都是在那里决定的，他们自己把那个区称为'花园'，其实却比龙潭虎穴更危险。” 郭雀儿道：“就算是他们的本门子弟，如果没有得到上头命令，也不能妄人一步。” 丁北道：“现在上官刃不但要做唐家的姑老爷了，而且已经参与了他们的机密，为了他的安全，他们一定会把他的住处安排在那座花园里。” 郭雀儿道：“你就算能混进唐家堡，也绝对进不去的，除非……” 无忌道：“除非是我能找个人带我进去。” 郭雀儿道：“找谁带你进去？” 无忌道：“当然是要找唐家的直系子弟。” 郭雀儿道：“唐家的直系子弟有谁会带你进去？除非他疯了。” 丁北道：“就算疯了也不会带你进去的。” 无忌道：“如果他死了呢？” 这句话听起来好像很荒谬，幸好丁北和郭雀儿都是聪明绝顶的人。 他们本来也听得怔了怔，可是很快就明白了无忌的意思。 无忌道：“唐玉是唐家的直系子弟，如果我把他的尸体运回去，唐家一定会把我召入那后花园去，盘问我他是怎么死的？是谁杀了他？我为什么要把他的尸体运回来？”他笑了笑，“唐玉当然是唐家的核心人物，这些问题他们绝不会放过。” 郭雀儿道：“你跟他是什么关系？” 无忌道：“我当然是他的好朋友。”他微笑：“这一路上，一定有很多人看见我跟他在一起，今天下午，我还跟他在一起吃饭喝酒，无论谁都看得出我们是好朋友，如果唐家派人来打听，一定有很多人可以作证。” 郭雀儿道：“原来你早已计划好了，连吃顿饭都在你的计划之中。” 无忌道：“现在我们虽然已经把唐家潜伏在这里的人查出来，但是我们暂时绝不会出手对付他们，因为——” 郭雀儿道：“因为你要留下他们为你作证，证明你是唐家的朋友。” 无忌道：“因为他们都不认得我，绝没有一个人知道我就是赵无忌。” 他又解释：“这一年来，我的样子已改变很多。如果我改个名字，再稍微打扮打扮，就算以前见过我的人都不会认得出我的。” 郭雀儿道：“这计划听起来好像还不错，只不过你好像忘了一件事。” Wuji said, "Say it." 郭雀儿道：“唐玉现在还没有死。” 无忌道：“没有死更好。” 郭雀儿道：“为什么？” 无忌道：“因为这样子唐家的人一定对我更信任，更不会怀疑我是赵无忌。”他微笑：“如果我是，赵无忌怎么会把他活着送回唐家去？” 郭雀儿道：“有理。” 无忌道：“这就叫'置之于死地而后生'，明明是不可能的事，我却偏偏做了出来，就是因为要让别人想不到。” 郭雀儿叹了口气，道：“现在连我都好像有点佩服你了！” 无忌笑道：“有时候我自己都很佩服自己。” 郭雀儿道：“所以你只要带着唐玉一走，我就会大
