Chapter 6 Chapter Six

The neutral man in black stretched out his hand and removed from his waist a scepter-shaped outer sword about a foot and a half long, and said with a grinning grin: Isn't this the Order of the King of Hades?If not enough, the two of them still have double rings of locks! Hearing this, the two men in black on the left and right took a circle as big as a soup bowl and gleaming in their hands. When Gu Langxuan saw these three people showing their weapons, he raised his eyebrows and called out: "You three, please take off your masks!" The black-clothed masked man on the left shouted sharply: Why?

Gu Langxuan didn't wait for him to continue, he sneered and said, "Because I already know that you are the three ghosts of Baling who are quite famous in the Green Forest Road in Eastern Sichuan, and your origins are known, so why bother to cover your face and pretend to be mysterious?" He guessed right, the masked men in black were the black-hearted ghost Li Hua, the black-handed ghost Kong Min, and the black-faced ghost Huang Shen. Seeing that Gu Langxuan had seen through his origin, Li Hua let out a ghostly whistle, and stretched out his hand to remove the black scarf. Kong Min and Huang Shen also acted in the same way, revealing their ferocious appearances!

Gu Langxuan raised his eyebrows and asked: We have no grievances with the people in the Green Forest in Eastern Sichuan, why did the head of the Li family set up an ambush for each other? Li Hua replied with a sinister smile: We are good friends with Iron Claw Sirius Xiao Pei! Gu Langxuan let out a groan, and said with a smile: So, do the three masters want to avenge Xiao Pei? Kong Min replied from the side: One punch is one kick to defend against others. Since Shangguan friends have traveled all over the world, they should know how to hit a bachelor with a bachelor. Gu Langxuan laughed loudly and said: Do the three masters recognize me and this girl?

The black-hearted ghost Li Hua nodded and replied: I know your name is Shangguan Qi, although this woman is not well-known, but when I went to Tianlang Village, I heard that she also has a share! Gu Langxuan looked sideways at Xiao Yao, and shouted with a smile on his face: "Sister Yao, as the saying goes, how can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife?" As soon as Xiao Yao heard this, she knew what Gu Langxuan meant, so she smiled sweetly and said: Brother Gu, do you want to play Zhongnan Zhong Jinshi once? Gu Langxuan nodded, and Xiao Yao smiled again: Brother Gu, don't worry, I will definitely stand by and appreciate your ghost-hunting mana!

The three ghosts of Baling hadn't heard the meaning of Xiao Yao's Zhongnan Zhong Jinshi's words before? Now Fang could hear that he was making fun of himself! Among the three ghosts, Huang Shen, the black-faced ghost, was the more violent, he roared angrily, and rushed away. The black-hearted ghost Li Hua waved his hand to stop Huang Shen, and asked Gu Langxuan: "Old man Shangguan, since your surname is Shangguan, why does that girl call you Brother Gu?" Gu Langxuan was too lazy to talk to him, and said coldly: This is a private matter between us, it seems that the head of the Li family is asking too much?

The black-hearted ghost Li Hua touched a nail, shot a fierce look, and plucked his eyebrows at the black-faced ghost Huang Shen, and shouted: "Since the third brother wants to make a move, let this old Shangguan who knows nothing about heaven and earth be a little bit stronger!" The black-faced ghost Huang snorted deeply, took two steps forward, stared at Gu Langxuan, and put on a fierce look! Gu Langxuan still raised his eyebrows and smiled leisurely: Is there only one Huangzhai master?It's best if the three ghosts of Baling join hands Huang said angrily: "Fart, ignorant old dog, show your weapon and lead to death!"

Xiao Yao's delicate body flickered slightly, and she backed away a foot and sixty-seven, while she yelled at Gu Langxuan with a coquettish smile: "Brother Gu, did you hear that?"People tell you to shine your sword! Gu Langxuan twitched his eyebrows, looked up at the sky, and laughed wildly. Huang was surprised and said: "Shangguan old man, what are you laughing at?" Gu Langxuan's eyes flashed with light, and he replied coldly: Unless you three ghosts of Baling join hands together, maybe I will show you a weapon to open your eyes?Just relying on your Excellency as a black-faced ghost, is it too unworthy?

These few words made the irascible black-faced ghost explode in rage, screaming strangely! Li Hua is worthy of being the head of the three ghosts of Baling, he is relatively deep, and when he saw this, he shouted loudly: "Third brother Huang, hold your breath, don't fall into the opponent's tricks and make your heart flustered, you take action, circle Don't show mercy, the sooner this arrogant old man is dealt with, the better! Huang Shen nodded, raised the soul-locking steel ring the size of a soup bowl with his right hand, bullied himself, and slammed Gu Langxuan on the head!

Gu Langxuan neither opened the move nor stood upright, just stretched out his hand to catch it with a smile.The soul-locking steel ring whistled loudly, coming extremely fiercely, Gu Langxuan didn't have a weapon in his hand to repel it, so he had to dodge it! But not only did he not dodge, but instead he spread his five fingers and grabbed the steel ring that fell suddenly. This method was too arrogant to be expected by the black-faced ghost Huang Shen! Huang Shengang gritted his teeth, and the locking steel ring in his hand remained the same, it still fell violently! On the surface, Huang Shen was angrily dissatisfied, and wanted to compete with Gu Langxuan, but how powerful is his bare-handed fist that flies to catch the incoming steel ring?

But the villainous characters in the green forest are sinister by nature after all, and the angry look of the black-faced ghost Huang Shen is just a gesture, but in fact it contains other murderous schemes! Just when Gu Langxuan's hand was about to touch the soul-locking steel ring, a ray of silver light shot out from Huang Shen's hand! This line of silver light is not a hidden weapon, but a strange-shaped soft weapon! The silver light is as fine as a pen, about five feet long, it is a shiny soft whip covered with barbs except for the handle! There was a wild laugh in the field, and the figures split up!

The black-faced ghost Huang Shen swayed, barely holding the stake to stand firm, but his right hand was empty, and blood was dripping from his tiger's mouth! Gu Langxuan stepped back five or six feet, holding a soul-locking steel ring in his hand. But there was a small hole the thickness of a pen in the lower abdomen of the dantian of the green shirt he was wearing! It turned out that he was slightly underestimating the enemy, and he never expected that there was another powerful weapon hidden in the left hand of the black-faced ghost Huang Shen!Under the steel ring that seized the soul with all concentration, the silver whip suddenly flew to the dantian, and if you tried to avoid it calmly, you would be too late! Fortunately, Gu Langxuan's reaction was extremely quick and his movements were agile, he only left a small hole in the green shirt. If it was someone with a little less skill, he would probably have been caught in the black-faced ghost Huang Shen's trick from the very beginning! Gu Langxuan was a little shocked, but Huang Shen was a little surprised. The first point of surprise is that the other party was able to escape the poisonous dragon probing caves of his own silver whip flying point at a time when there was no time to wait! The second point of surprise is that I am confident and strong, but now the opponent snatches the rims and shatters the tiger's mouth! The two shocks of the black-faced ghost Huang Shen gradually merged into one, and finally turned into anger! When he was startled and ashamed, and when his shame turned to anger, the barbed silver whip had already been handed over to his right hand! Suddenly, there was a terrifying roar, and the silver light covered the sky! Huang Shen rushed forward frantically, swiping, swishing, whipping three times in a row, scattering thousands of silver shadows! Because Gu Langxuan had said that he would not use weapons, he refused to break his promise, his figure shivered slightly, and he dodged the approach of the silver whip. With his hands together, he forcibly shook the soul-locking steel ring that he had taken away into pieces of scrap iron! Seeing that his weapon had been destroyed, Huang Shen became more and more furious, and unleashed his most proud Silver Dragon Nine Absolute Whip Technique, enclosing the bare-handed Gu Langxuan in the ever-changing light and shadow! Xiao Yao looked at it from the side and raised her eyebrows with a smile and shouted: "Brother Gu, there are two evil spirits in Yunxichuan and three fierce ghosts in Badong, which shows that these three leaders are not good people, and there is no way to forgive them!"I also borrowed a sentence from the other party, the sooner you solve it, the better, don't show mercy! Gu Langxuan laughed maniacally in the midst of fluttering, and replied: Okay, Brother Yu would like to obey Sister Yao's order! Li Hua, the black-faced ghost, and Kong Min, the black-handed ghost, knew something was wrong when they heard this, and they were ready to join hands to fight for Huang Shen, the black-faced ghost! But their figures had just flashed, and there was already a miserable howl in the shadow of the silver light whip! Howling together, the silver light stands up! The black-faced ghost Huang Shen was empty-handed, staggered, and retreated.He retreated five or six steps in a row, Fang stood still, blood stains dripped from the left and right corners of his mouth! Li Hua asked in a voice: Third brother, what's wrong with you? Huang Shen couldn't answer, he opened his mouth and spewed out a large amount of purple blood, and died of his own accord. This situation was obviously hit by Gu Langxuan's inner family, and his lungs burst from the shock!Gu Langxuan played with the barbed silver whip that he had seized again, looked coldly at Li Hua and Kong Min, and said with a smile: "Master Li and Mr. Kong, now besides Iron Claw Sirius Xiao Pei, I owe another debt. Are you still going up? The black-handed ghost Kongmin heard the words, Fang Zi locked the steel ring in his hand, but the black-hearted ghost Li Hua called out to him in a low voice: Second brother, don't use weapons, fight with bare hands instead, and use your kung fu to fight this fellow! Douerzhao, let me prepare a bit! Kong Min nodded, put away the soul-locking steel ring, opened his arms, and his joints rattled! Gu Langxuan knew at the first sight that Kong Min must have trained extremely domineering or extremely vicious special palm strength! Sure enough, when he focused his gaze, he found that Kong Min's palms were already black and purple!Gu Langxuan suddenly understood why the other party was called a black-handed ghost, and he also had murderous intentions in his heart! Because Mr. Zizhu left vicious palm prints on the body of the old man Nangong, Gu Langxuan made up his mind that as long as he found someone who had practiced vicious palms such as the Five Poison Palm, the Sanyin Juehu Palm, and the Black and Red Corpse Hand, he would try his best Execute, and eliminate the evil for the Jianghu!Therefore, as soon as Gu Langxuan noticed that Kong Min's palm had turned black, his eyes immediately shone brightly, and his murderous heart suddenly blazed! At this time, Kong Min, the black-handed ghost, spread his fingers and approached step by step! Li Hua, the black-hearted ghost, flickered slightly and retreated to the wall. Xiao Yao is ice-snow smart, she can tell at a glance that Li Hua, the black-hearted ghost who is the boss of the three ghosts in Badong, seems to have seen something wrong, and is planning to run for his own life by taking the blame on the brothers of the alliance?Originally, she could have stopped Li Hua and wiped out the roots, but Xiao Yao did not take this method! Because Gu Langxuan had underestimated the enemy and risked himself just now, Xiao Yaosheng was afraid that he would repeat the same mistakes, so he ignored Li Hua, the black-hearted ghost, and only shouted to Gu Langxuan: "Brother Gu, bees are poisonous, don't trust this last one too much." Before the words could be uttered, Kong Min, the black-handed ghost, had already stepped into the air, walked through Hongmen, stretched out ten purple-black fingers, and brought a slight gust of wind, towards Gu Langxuan's heart, and grabbed him with lightning speed! Gu Langxuan really followed Xiao Yao's words of persuasion to persuade him not to trust him too much! Just now, he took the white blade with his bare hands, but now he took the empty hand with the white blade! The so-called white blade is the barbed silver whip that he snatched from the black-faced ghost Huang Shen just now! The so-called empty hands are those ghost claws of the black-handed ghost Kong Min, whose complexion is purple and black! In other words, when Kong Min stretched out his hands and was grabbing Gu Langxuan's heart, a circle of silver light suddenly wrapped around his wrists! Kong Min never imagined in his dreams that such arrogant enemies would use the stolen weapons against him! Wait until the silver light is dazzling, and then want to close the momentum, there is no time! Swish swish, the five-foot silver whip wrapped around the wrist three times, and it actually wrapped Kong Min's left and right hands together! Kong Min was shocked, and hurriedly shook his wrists! But the body of the thin silver whip is covered with barbs, intertwined and intertwined, how can it shake? He trembled, and Gu Langxuan trembled too! Kong Min, the black-handed ghost, shook his hands and whip, while Gu Langxuan shook his whip and reined in his hands!With a shake of both sides, the lock and leash tightened even more, the barbs on the whip had sunk into the flesh, and blood flowed out! Kong Min let out a miserable snort, and Gu Langxuan laughed wildly. Just at this moment, with a snort and a smile, there was a large amount of blood in the sky! It turned out that Gu Langxuan showed his supernatural power and shook his whip with all his strength to forcibly cut off the evil hands of the black-handed ghost Kong Min who were stained with countless blood! As soon as the hands were broken, blood spurted out wildly, and Kong Min was also dizzy from the pain! Xiao Yao saw that Gu Langxuan was safe and sound after defeating the enemy, so she wanted to keep that black-hearted ghost Li Hua behind too! But when he turned around and focused his gaze, he saw that Li Huaye was about to flee to the top of the tens of feet high cliff. It's not that Li Hua's light body skills have any specialties?It's just that a mountain vine hangs down from the top of the cliff, leading Li Hua up. Xiao Yao's skills are profound and her ears are very good. She has long heard that there is another person hiding on the top of the wall.But she just thought it was the other party's pre-planned ambush, so she took care of Lang Xuan to be on guard, but she didn't expect that it was the other party's premeditated retreat! Although the truth is known now, the black-hearted ghost Li Huaye is already at a high altitude, and it is difficult for any hidden weapon to reach him, so he has to watch helplessly as he flees. In an instant, Li Hua reached the top of the wall with the help of the mountain vines. Standing on the top of the wall, this black-hearted ghost stared down at Xiao Yao and Gu Langxuan and shouted: Old Shangguan and that girl, remember this blood debt. From now on, as soon as you enter Xichuan for half a step, you will die without a place to die ! After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Langxuan and Xiao Yao to reply, his figure disappeared and he disappeared! Seeing Li Huayi go, Xiao Yao said to Gu Langxuan with a smile: "Brother Gu, we can be regarded as a shipwreck in the gutter this time. The three ghosts of Baling were not completely dealt with, and we were even run away by a black hearted ghost!" Gu Langxuan said: "It doesn't matter if one of them escapes, just draw out all the characters behind them, and quickly cut off the evil for the Jianghu!" Xiao Yao smiled and said: "Although the words are good, but the people behind the three ghosts of Badong are quite serious. If we enter Xichuan in the future, we must be careful!" Gu Langxuan looked at Xiao Yao and asked: Are the people behind the three ghosts of Badong the Xichuan twin demons? Xiao Yao nodded and said: It is the two monsters of Xichuan, such as the Holy Mother of Blood and the Green Robe Xiushi, who are not only highly skilled, but also have evil secrets, their minds are especially poisonous, and their power is also wide. Hearing this, Gu Langxuan was full of pride, Xuan eyebrows smiled and said: "Sister Yao, after we rescued the virtuous brother Nangong and helped him avenge his father, why don't we simply join hands and enter Sichuan to challenge the Holy Mother of Blood and the green-robed scholar by name, and serve the people of Lishu in Sichuan?" In addition to this giant! Xiao Yao said with a coquettish smile: "Brother Gu has such pride, so my younger sister will naturally accompany her, but I think these two things will be one sooner or later, and there is no need to separate them!" Gu Langxuan said: "What do sister Yao say?" Xiao Yao laughed and said: Isn't Mu Xiaoping, the five poisonous concubine, just trying to collude with the evils in the universe and revive her husband Zhentian Shenjun's past dominance?How can there be no reason not to win over the Xichuan twin monsters?Perhaps today's events have contributed to the collusion of evil and evil, maybe it is! Gu Langxuan raised his eyebrows and said: It's best for them to collude with each other, and it can save us the trek across the river! Xiao Yao took a deep look at him, shook her head and said, "Brother Gu has always been prudent in his work, why did he become a little irritable today?"The group of evils colluded with each other, there were like clouds of masters, and the momentum was getting stronger and stronger, but we were still only two people, and the disparity between the number and widows was too great, and the situation became increasingly difficult to be optimistic. It seemed that we had to find a few helpers! Gu Langxuan sighed, frowned and said: The more dangerous the situation is, the more difficult it is to find helpers, because we don't want to drag people into this muddy water casually, let alone ordinary helpers are useless Xiao Yao said: "It's a pity that I can't clone at the moment, otherwise I will find a good helper, she alone is worth thousands of troops!" Gu Langxuan hurriedly asked: Who is this person? Xiao Yao replied: It's my sister! Gu Langxuan's eyes turned, Xiao Yao glanced at her, and said with a charming smile: "Don't look down on my sister, she is not only stronger than me in martial arts, but also smarter than me, and she is also more beautiful than me!" Gu Langxuan said: Second Miss Xiao The four characters came out, and felt that the title of the second girl Xiao was too pretentious, so following Xiao Yao's identity, she changed her mouth and asked with a smile: "Where is sister Qi now?" Xiao Yao replied with a smile: She originally wanted to debut with me, but her step-mother would not allow her to make further progress, and now she is still staying in Kunlun! Gu Langxuan focused his eyes on Xiao Yao's peerless face, and said slowly with a smile: "Sister Yao, you made a statement against your will!" Xiao Yao snorted, and asked him in amazement: Where did Brother Gu come from? Gu Langxuan said: You said that sister Qi's martial arts are better than yours, it's quite possible, she's smarter than you, I also believe it, but the section about being beautiful also doesn't make sense. Xiao Yao interjected: This section is 100% without doubt, otherwise how could I tell Nangong Jing in Tianlang Village that I want to introduce a peerless man who is younger, more beautiful than me, and has better skills than me? Mrs. to him? Gu Langxuan suddenly said: So you want to introduce Qimei to Brother Nangong? Xiao Yao nodded and smiled without any shyness: Except for a girl who suffers from a special blow and becomes cold-hearted and becomes a nun or an old maid, she will always marry sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if I choose a brother-in-law for my sister Something beyond etiquette? Gu Langxuan heard that Xiao Yao actually wanted to match her sister Xiao Qi with Nangong Jing, he couldn't help but nodded happily in his heart and said: Yaomei has good eyesight, and Nangong's good character is indeed the best choice! Xiao Yao glanced at him, and said with a charming smile: "Although Nangong Jing is the best candidate, you are not bad, but because of age, I plan to match Qi Mei with Nangong Jing, and I will gnaw at your old bone myself!" She spoke generously, as if nothing had happened, but Gu Langxuan, a Zizhu scholar, felt her ears burn. Xiao Yao sighed, and said again: Who knows that this old bone of yours already has an owner, I and I This suave and elegant Kunlun in red was actually a little sad, and his voice was slightly intermittent. Gu Langxuan hurriedly shouted: "Sister Yao, you don't want to Xiao Yao regained her calm smile, waved her hand and said: Brother Gu, needless to say, everything in life is nothing more than a word of fate, if there is a fate, we will be together, if not, we will be apart. Is there a fate between us?Maybe now, let's wait for the future to see the changes! Gu Langxuan didn't dare to discuss the matter with her directly, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said: "What do sister Yao think should be done with the black-handed ghost Kong Min whose hands have been severed?" These two sentences made Xiao Yao burst out laughing! Gu Langxuan asked in surprise: Sister Yao, what are you laughing at?Did I ask something wrong? Xiao Yao said with a smile: There is no problem with the words, but the question is a bit redundant. The voice paused for a while, pointed at the place where the black-handed ghost Kong Min fainted just now, and said with a smile: Brother Gu, what are you thinking in your heart?Speaking so casually.You should first look at the situation of this black-handed ghost, Kong Min, and you won't ask me this question again. Gu Langxuan looked back, his face couldn't help getting hot! It turns out that Kong Min, the black-handed ghost, didn't die alone, even his bones were gone, leaving only some clothes left in the blood! Seeing this, Gu Langxuan knew that the barb of the silver whip that strangled Kong Min's hands contained a strange poison! The dantian part of the green shirt I was wearing was once struck with a silver whip, but fortunately no flesh was injured. If he was poisoned by blood, wouldn't he be like Confucius, where even the bones were melted away? Seeing Gu Langxuan's shocked face, Xiao Yao shouted with a smile: "Brother Gu, have you seen it? This kind of viciousness is all ruthless and evil. We not only have to be careful everywhere, but also don't have to be kind to them!" Gu Langxuan gritted his teeth, nodded and replied: "Sister Yao is right, killing evil is doing good. If I had known that the three ghosts in Badong were so vicious, I wouldn't have let that black-hearted ghost Li Hua escape by chance!" Xiao Yao said with a coquettish smile: "What's the point of running away from a ghost?"There must be all kinds of ghosts gathered in the thousand ghosts, let's kill them to have a good time! When she mentioned Thousand Ghost Hell, Gu Langxuan felt his ambition revived, he looked at Xiao Yao and raised his eyebrows and asked: Sister Yao, we are going to Thousand Ghost Hell, is it Ming Chuang?Or sneak in? Xiao Yao thought for a while, then smiled and said: According to the data, the other party intends to lure us to the Thousand Ghosts Hell for a duel. From this we can see that there must be many ambushes, and it is as dangerous for us to sneak into the Thousand Ghosts Hell. break! Gu Langxuan said: "Sister Yao's words are exactly what I want. When we arrived at the foot of Moyun Peak in Taiyue Mountain, we shouted at each other face to face. Let's see what kind of tiger's den, dragon's pond, sword, mountain and sword tree can these group of ghosts and snakes put down?" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I also really want to meet that ambitious Mu Xiaoping, who orders all evil, but I hope this Five Poison Fragrant Concubine is in Thousand Ghosts." They rushed all the way, and when they entered Taiyue Mountain, it was the time when the toad soul was just rising. The weather was quite good at first, but in a blink of an eye, the sky was covered by dark clouds, the light of toads was hidden, and the raindrops the size of peas seemed to be pouring down. Gu Langxuan and Xiao Yao didn't want to get wet, so they walked into a small cave to shelter from the rain. This cave is shallow and narrow, it can only accommodate one person, although two people can barely live together, it feels very crowded. Gu Langxuan didn't pay attention at first, but when he entered the cave, he realized that there was a ball of warm and fragrant nephrite nestled on his chest, which was like holding Xiao Yao tightly in his arms. Gu Langxuan's face became hot, and regardless of the heavy rain outside the cave, he wanted to sneak out. Xiao Yao is so smart, she guessed his meaning when he felt his body move, and asked with a charming smile: Brother Gu, what do you want to do?Do you want to avoid suspicion and would rather go out in the rain? Her name was Ming, but Gu Langxuan was a little embarrassed to admit it, and murmured, "I, I, Xiao Yao laughed and said: Brother Gu, what's wrong with you?Liu Xiahui sits calmly in his arms, but the man from Lu looks at nothing, don't tell me you are a dignified and open-minded scholar from Zizhu, but you just squeeze a little bit closer to me, so you can't accept it? Gu Langxuan replied bluntly: I didn't mean that, I did. Xiao Yao smiled and said: What is it?Why is Brother Gu hesitating, unable to speak? Gu Langxuan had no choice but to reply: I am afraid of insulting Yaomei. Xiao Yao frowned and said: Hey, I don't quite understand, how should I explain the word blasphemy?The voice stopped, and suddenly he smiled and said: I understand, is Brother Gu afraid that I will be too intimate with you, and marrying someone else in the future will harm you? The Kunlun in red was not shy, and spoke out, but made a Zizhu scholar so dumbfounded, he didn't know how to answer correctly? Xiao Yao smiled again and said: Brother Gu, don't worry, the problem you worry about for me will never happen! Gu Langxuan was surprised and asked: What does sister Yao say? Xiao Yao raised her eyebrows, focused her eyes on Gu Langxuan, and said slowly: The reason is very simple, I, Xiao Yao, have a very high vision, and I hate Chao Qin Muchu the most, since I once confided my heart to you, I will never marry another man! Gu Langxuan frowned, dumbfounded! Xiao Yao simply held his hand, and said with a gentle smile: Brother Gu, don't frown. Although I have a hot temper, I am very reasonable. Everything comes first and then comes first, especially in love between men and women, so not only am I not jealous of that plum blossom girl Xia Lin Aoshuang will try her best to help you overcome all difficulties and make this happy relationship possible! Gu Langxuan felt sad for a while, and called out in a low voice: Sister Yao Xiao Yao sighed quietly, looked at Gu Langxuan and said: "Brother Gu, love doesn't have to be possessive, sometimes in charity, you can also get great spiritual comfort!"As long as you and Lin Nvxia are able to enjoy the full moon, my heart will be settled, and I will be able to put aside all desires, serve my stepmother forever, and achieve the best results! From the surface, each of these words sounds high-sounding and reasonable, but in fact, whether there are thousands of sadness, blood and tears, only Xiao Yao knows! Gu Langxuan was usually eloquent and eloquent, but now he couldn't think of an appropriate word to comfort Xiao Yao. Unable to speak, only to act, Gu Langxuan naturally stretched his arms slightly, and hugged the red-clothed Kunlun Xiao Yao in his arms a little tighter. At this time, although the rain had stopped, the sky was still thick with clouds, and there were no stars or moonlight! Xiao Yao suddenly burst out laughing. Gu Langxuan asked in surprise: "What are sisters Yao laughing at?" Xiao Yao smiled and said: What I am laughing at is that it is often easy to blame others for things in the world, and it is difficult to blame yourself. Just now I ridiculed you, it is difficult to control your feelings when you are a little close, but now I can't stand this kind of test immediately. He said again in a low voice: When your arms are slightly tight, my heart will be beating non-stop. If we continue to be intimate, if we can't control each other, we will make jokes! When he said he couldn't control it, his body flashed, he broke free from Gu Langxuan's arms, and went out of the cave. Gu Langxuan really respects and loves Xiao Yao, he doesn't know what to do? Xiao Yao raised her jade hand, brushed her hair slightly, took two long breaths, and shouted to Gu Langxuan: "Brother Gu, even though the shower has passed, the dense clouds have not yet opened, the stars and the moon have no light, and there is darkness in front of us. It's like being trapped in a ghostly realm! Gu Langxuan also regained his composure, pointing to a steep peak rising into the clouds in front of him on the left, he raised his sword eyebrows and said: We are here to fight ghosts, why are we afraid of the spooky ghosts?According to Qiantu, the peak on the front left is Moyun Peak Xiao Yao suddenly screamed: Brother Gu, look, what is that? Gu Langxuan followed Xiao Yao's pointing and saw a figure flashing away at the turning point of the mountain path ahead. Their eyesight is like lightning, although it is fleeting, they can see clearly. The figure was wearing a snow-white long gown, a pointed hat on his head, and a sunflower fan in his hand. He looked exactly like the rumored Bai Wuchang's attire! Xiao Yao would not be ignorant of pretending to be gods and tricking ghosts. Why did she have a look of shock when she saw it? The reason is that the figure in white clothes is too tall, about a foot high? In an instant, Bai Ying had passed away, Xiao Yao asked Gu Langxuan: Brother Gu, did you see it? Gu Langxuan said: Of course I saw Xiao Yao hurriedly asked: Is that white shadow a human or a ghost? Gu Langxuan raised his eyebrows and replied without thinking: Naturally, I am a human being. I have never believed in ghosts in my life! Xiao Yao nodded and said: I don't really believe in ghosts, but has Brother Gu ever seen such a tall person? Gu Langxuan asked her to stop, and said with a wry smile: There is a green man on the water margin, unexpectedly we saw a white man? Xiao Yao pretended to be annoyed and said: Brother Gu, don't want to be interrupted indiscriminately, I want you to judge this long phantom! Gu Langxuan's eyes flashed with divine light, he focused on Xiao Yao and said with a smile: What's the use of researching and judging?Regardless of whether it is a human or a ghost, let's catch it and see, won't we understand? Xiao Yao nodded in agreement, and said with a coquettish smile, "Brother Gu's idea of ​​catching ghosts is quite new. When you were dealing with the black-faced ghost Huang Shen and the black-handed ghost Kong Min, I once called you Zhong Kui. Unexpectedly, it was true to the name." ! Gu Langxuan smiled and said: Maybe not?Zhong Kui catches ghosts easily, but we may not be able to catch ghosts? Xiao Yao said in a loud voice: As long as it doesn't slip away, a mere white impermanence ghost is the emperor of Yama, and I will pull him down as well. At this point in the conversation, someone above the waist of Fangfang Peak shouted sharply: "Arrogant girl, you deserve it!" With the sound of drinking, there was a rumbling sound, and countless huge rocks rolled down from the peak. Gu Langxuan and Xiao Yao are now walking in a canyon between two peaks, countless huge boulders are flying down, which indeed poses a considerable threat to them! As soon as the boulder at the peak on the left rolled, the peak on the right also responded! In the same way, there was a loud bang, and in the same way, rocks flew down! In an instant, the entire canyon was covered by flying boulders, creating a long gray fog! The gray mist gradually dissipated, and the valley was covered with gravel. But Gu Langxuan and Xiao Yao were still unscathed, standing on top of those large and small rocks that crisscrossed the valley. Xiao Yao snorted, glanced around, twitched her eyebrows and said: What kind of tricks are these bastards doing?Get a few stones as a welcome gift for us?Or do you want to get off your horse? Gu Langxuan laughed and said: Although these flying rocks didn't hurt us, they missed the job. If we try to catch that white impermanent ghost again, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it? Xiao Yao said: As the saying goes: You can run away from a monk, but you can't run away from a temple.We can change it to run away from ghosts but not from graves, and go to the Thousand Ghosts to catch them and see where else they can escape? Gu Langxuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Sister Yao is right, there are ghosts in Thousand Ghosts, let's just go straight to find Emperor Yan Luo, don't need to talk so much with these little ghosts here!" After finishing speaking, the two of them showed their super lightness kung fu together and galloped towards the high Moyun Peak, which was full of rocks in the valley. When I got to the foot of the peak, I took a closer look, and saw that there was a ravine on the left, with heavy black shadows, as if it was bottomless! Xiao Yao stretched out her hand and pointed downwards, raised her eyebrows and said with a charming smile: This deep ravine is probably the thousand ghost ravines that the other side has set up to lure us into a trap! Gu Langxuan nodded with a smile and said, "Since we have arrived in the field, let's register our names according to the rules of the world!" Xiao Yao smiled and said: Let me report, I want to give Brother Gu a nickname. His voice paused for a while, and with a lift of his spirit, he shouted through voice transmission into the dark ravine: Friends in Thousand Ghosts, listen up, the living Zhong Kui, Shangguan Qi and the red-clothed Kunlun Xiao Yaote are here to pay their respects. After the sound transmission was over, there was a scene of mourning and joy in Qianguihe. Xiao Yao tilted her head slightly, and called to Gu Langxuan with a smile: Brother Gu, in order not to reveal your true identity too early, from now on, in front of outsiders, I will call you Brother Shangguan again! Gu Langxuan couldn't help laughing when she heard that she had given him the nickname "Living Zhong Kui", and said: "Sister Yao used to call me Zhong Kui, but now she has added a living character!" Xiao Yao smiled and said: Although Zhong Kui is good at catching ghosts, he must be a living Zhong Kui to be powerful!Otherwise, it is slow to say that Zhong Kui is dead, even if Zhong Kui is drunk, not only will he not be able to catch ghosts, but he will be teased by tricky and weird ghosts! Gu Langxuan said with a smile: "Yaomei really knows how to pay attention to words and phrases, so the two of them set their eyes on a deep black cave at the foot of Moyun Peak at the same time. Because the desolation and sorrow that I heard just now are faintly coming from this black hole. Gu Langxuan said with a smile: This cave is quite deep, and it actually connects with the Thousand Ghosts Valley. It seems that the faint music sounds like a welcome welcome? Xiao Yao raised her eyebrows and said: The music of welcoming guests should be joyful, why is it played so sadly? Gu Langxuan sneered and said: Since the place where the other party lives is named Thousand Ghosts, all his actions will inevitably have a ghostly air! While speaking, the sound of sorrow and joy was getting closer and closer, and the cave was filled with deep shadows, and a dark green light like phosphorous fire flickered. Xiao Yao smiled and said: Sure enough, he came, but I don't know if the other party will settle with us on the gully?still Gu Langxuan interjected: "The top of the valley is not good for them, most likely they want us to go down the valley so that they can make all kinds of vicious arrangements!" The dark green light in the cave was already approaching, and someone laughed and said: "Shangguan heroes are completely mistaken. I have no malicious intentions. I just prepared an easy and rare Hades banquet under the ravine to entertain Xiao Xiao." The girl and Shangguan hero are just two distinguished guests! Xiao Yao and Gu Langxuan looked closely, and saw a welcoming team walking out of the dark cave. This welcoming team can probably be said to be the most peculiar team, and it can also be said to be a collection of all kinds of strange ghosts. Among them are big-headed ghosts, small-headed ghosts, hanged ghosts, drowned ghosts, fat ghosts, thin ghosts, and yaksha ghosts carrying two small sedan chairs. Although those ghosts are obviously dressed as martial arts figures, they are so lifelike that they can make the timid people faint when they see them. Among the large group of ghosts, surrounded by a man in the costume of a judge with a crab face and beard, he clasped his fists at Xiao Yao and Gu Langxuan, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, Shangguan hero, please get on the sedan chair and meet me at the bottom of the ravine." Xiao Yao asked: Who is your lord? The man in the attire of a judge bowed and replied: Lord of the Underworld, the Son of Heaven! Xiao Yao knew that the other party was pretending to be mysterious, so she smiled, looked at the man in the judge's attire, and asked again: "What's your name?" The man dressed as a judge replied without any hesitation: Only after the six characters came out, Xiao Yao said with an oh: "Your honor is also Zhong Kui?" The man in the judge's attire nodded and said with a smile: This is the dead Zhong Kui, compared to the living Zhong Kui of the Shangguan hero, he is still one level behind in the end! Gu Langxuan snorted, and said coldly: Why doesn't your master welcome the guests in person? Dead Zhong Kui laughed and said: "My superiors arranged a feast for the governors in the gully, so I ordered my subordinates to welcome the guests on behalf of the guests. It is a pleasure to ask the heroes of the Shangguan to forgive me a lot!" Xiao Yao shouted from the side: Gu She almost called out Brother Gu again, and hurriedly changed her tune and said with a smile: "Brother Shangguan, you don't have to pay attention to the rivers and lakes with the other party anymore, let's go to Thousand Ghosts to experience the feast of the King of Hades!" Gu Langxuan heard what she said, so he floated on the small sedan chair without a roof, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Sister Yao, don't be greedy. As the saying goes: There is no good banquet, and there is no good meeting."That Hades banquet might not be easy to eat? While floating on her body, Xiao Yao said with a coquettish smile: That's not necessarily true. Liu Bang has been to the Hongmen Banquet, and Guan Gong has been to the Single-knife Meeting. Aren't they all gone and returned, and their reputations have been passed down through the ages?Today, if Brother Shangguan is Liu Bang, the younger sister will be Fan Kuai, and if Brother Shangguan is Guan Gong, the younger sister will be Zhou Cang. Let me boast, I want to learn from the ancients, and I will keep you safe! Gu Langxuan laughed and said: Yaomei, the escorting general, is too beautiful. If there are such heavenly beings like Fan Kui and peerless Zhou Cang in history, it would be a great story through the ages! The heroic spirit with which they joked with each other and talked and laughed freely when they went deep into the tiger's den really made the group of ghosts who were ordered to welcome guests secretly admire them! Xiao Yao suddenly remembered something, and asked the dead Zhong Kui who was accompanying him in the two small sedan chairs: "Dead friend, I want to ask you a word. Dead Zhong Kui said with a smile: Miss Xiao, if you have anything to say, just ask, I will answer you! Xiao Yao pointed to the big-headed ghosts, small-headed ghosts, etc. in front of the sedan chair, behind the sedan chair, on the left and right of the sedan chair, raised her eyebrows and asked: Most of the ghosts in the world's legends are in front of my eyes, but why can't I see the ghost of impermanence?She only asked this question because she remembered the ghost of Bai Wuchang, who was as tall as ten feet, she had seen earlier. Dead Zhong Kui replied with a smile: My Shangyin is actually an enemy of Miss Xiao and Shangguan Hero?For friends?It's still uncertain, so I deliberately ordered black and white impermanence to avoid it! Xiao Yao asked in surprise: Why avoid? Dead Zhong Kui laughed and said: "It's because of bad lips. Don't you know that Shangguan Daxia and Miss Xiao don't know that nothing is permanent at first sight?" Xiao Yao laughed and said: Impermanence in black and white is so powerful?We are not even afraid of Lord Yama, let alone Gu Langxuan said with a smile: "Sister Yao, don't forget the words of the King of Hell, who is so nice to see, and the little devil's hard to say. If we became hostile to that underworld lord when we were young, Black and White Impermanence would probably be the first to hunt us down!" Xiao Yao smiled and said: Today's trip to the Thousand Ghosts is indeed interesting. There is only fatal impermanence in the world. Maybe we will have an impermanent fate today? Dead Zhong Kui smiled and shouted: "Miss Xiao, why bother to recognize each other's enemies so firmly, my majesty wants to make friends with you and Shangguan Hero wholeheartedly!" Gu Langxuan raised his eyebrows and said: It's not easy to make friends with each other, isn't it?As the saying goes: there are different utensils for fumigation, and different furnaces for ice charcoal.What's more, you have taken our best friends and friends here Xiao Yao heard this, and asked the dead Zhong Kui: "Dead friend, I have a brother from Nangong who is in this thousand ghosts?" Dead Zhong Kui shook his head and smiled: Miss Xiao, please forgive me, I cannot answer this question. When I was young, it was at the banquet of King Hades, so please ask Miss Xiao to my superiors! Seeing that the other party was silent, Xiao Yao didn't feel comfortable asking further questions. The cave is really deep and long, and the four yaksha ghost soldiers walked for a long time carrying the sedan chair before they saw the light and approached another exit. Dead Zhong Kui rushed out of the cave a few steps ahead, then turned back, bowed to Xiao Yao and Gu Langxuan and said: Miss Xiao, Shangguan hero, my lord has already met him outside the cave! Xiao Yao and Gu Langxuan glanced at each other, then both got off the sedan chair and walked towards the cave exit.The man in the judge's attire who claimed to be dead Zhong Kui was still leading the way. It's a distance of Zhangxu, and it's there in a blink of an eye. Once out of the cave, the horizon opens up! 由上往下看來，因被雲霧所幕，只以為這千鬼壑中幽森狹隘異常，如今到了壑下，始知地方既毫不狹隘，光線也並不十分黑暗，但景色卻委實極為幽森！ 幽森之故，在於這千鬼壑下的一切事物，均係按照傳說中的森羅鬼域加以佈置。 洞外，地勢頗廣，左邊有一水池，池上有一長橋，右邊則建有一座高台，無論在台上，或是橋頭，池邊，均站有猙獰鬼卒！蕭瑤與顧朗軒一看之下，心中明白，池是血污池，橋是奈何橋，那座高台必是望鄉台了。 在那高台左邊的階梯之前，站著一位閻羅裝束之人和另一位判官。 兩位判官裝束相同，連貌相都頗為相似，只是衣著色澤有別。 奉命迎接蕭瑤、顧朗軒，自稱死鍾馗的判官，穿的是一件皂袍。 與閻君同立一處的判官，則穿著一件紅袍。 一見蕭瑤與顧朗軒走出洞外，那閻君裝束之人搶前兩步，抱拳笑道：蕭姑娘與上官大俠光臨，千鬼壑蓬蓽生輝，在下未曾遠迎，尚請二位恕罪！ 顧朗軒抱拳還禮，注目問道：尊駕怎樣稱謂？ 那位閻君裝束之人含笑說道：在下姓索名明，忝為千鬼壑主。 蕭瑤聽出索明二字，乃是索命的諧音，知曉對方所報不是真名，但也不加叫破，只是揚眉叫道：索壑主 索明接口笑道：在下設有菲酌，藉以款待貴客，蕭姑娘有甚話兒，請到席上再說如何？ 蕭瑤道：索壑主所謂菲酌，顯係謙詞，大概就是那此味只應鬼域有，人間難得幾回嘗的閻王大宴吧？ 索明點頭笑道：正是！ 顧朗軒道：索壑主宴設何處？ 索明伸手往上一指，含笑答道：就在這望鄉台上，此處視界比較廣闊，可以盡覽壑中全景！ 蕭瑤目注顧朗軒，揚眉笑道：上官兄，前人對於至死不惜的風流浪子，譏以望鄉台上折牡丹，是形容其作鬼還要貪花之意，我們如今到望鄉台上飲瓊漿之語，卻又應該怎樣講呢？ 顧朗軒微笑說道：瑤妹講得有趣，若把這望鄉台上飲瓊漿之語研究起來，無非連主帶客，都是一群醉鬼而已！ 蕭瑤笑道：上官兄，我們酒可以飲，鬼不能作，因為我的脾氣太壞，你也不是省油燈，縱死黃泉，秉性難改，萬一對這千鬼壑中基業起了覬覦之志，索朋友的閻君寶座，豈非坐不穩了？ 他們一面談笑，一面緩步走上望鄉台，那份勝概豪情，真是根本就未把滿目猙獰鬼物放在眼內！ 索明陪同舉步，笑聲說道：只要蕭姑娘與上官大俠願意加盟千鬼壑，索明立即讓出這壑主之位！ 蕭瑤搖手笑道：多謝，多謝，目前我和上官兄尚未活夠，等到我們覺得無甚生趣之際，定來叨擾索壑主的這份盛情就是！ 說話之間，已到望鄉台上。 這望鄉台高約四丈，周圍宛如城牆，設有垛口，平面則約有數丈寬廣。 台上略靠北面，擺設了一桌酒席。 菜肴雖尚未上，業已使人知道這桌酒席定必相當別致！ 箸是白骨，杯是骷髏，連碗盤等物，都像是用死人天靈所製？ 蕭瑤起初覺得有點噁心，但細一注目之下，也就看出那些酒食用具，仍是竹木、陶瓷本質，特意燒成了那種眩人眼目、懾人心魂、倒人味口的猙獰可怖形狀！ 賓主人坐，索明與紅黑二判列席相陪，其餘鬼物則均站在一旁侍應。 索明側顧身旁鬼卒說道：嘉賓已到，開始上菜！ 望鄉台下早有準備，立即送上四盤酒菜。 這四盤酒菜，兩熱兩冷，好似一盤拌鴨舌，一盤鹵豬心，一盤紅燒牛肉，一盤白煨雞皮，看去平淡異常，毫無奇處！ 索明看出蕭瑤似欲發話的詫異臉色，便先行笑道：古往今來，無論有多高功業的帝王將相，多美顏色的艷女仙姬，以及多大罪惡的堅雄惡寇，到頭來均免不了桐棺六尺，黃土一丘，故而索明既忝掌森羅，手下各種材料卻應有盡有，蕭姑娘與上官大俠願意知道這四盤下酒佳餚是取材於何處麼？ 顧朗軒道：索壑主請講，在下願聞其詳！ 索明指著那心、舌、肉、皮等四盤酒菜，含笑說道：這是比干之心，西施之舌，唐僧之肉，秦檜之皮，大概除了我這總管上下五千年，縱橫九萬里的陰曹地府之外，別處是吃不到的呢！ 蕭瑤暗笑對方真會替這些菜兒賜以嘉名，遂點頭笑道：妙極，妙極，上官兄，你敢不敢把這些忠臣之心，美人之舌，聖者之肉，奸佞之皮，每樣都嘗試嘗試？ 這時，侍應鬼卒執著一隻人頭壺，替賓主面前的骷髏杯中斟滿美酒。 顧朗軒聽了蕭瑤之言，雙眉一挑，哈哈大笑道：老夫耋矣，美人之舌不敢沾；丹忱猶存，忠臣之心不敢瀆；但對於長生不老的唐僧肉和人人思寢的秦檜皮卻非吃個痛快不可！ 說完，果然伸箸各自夾了一些，入口嘗試。 誰知不嘗還好，這一嘗之下，顧朗軒竟對蕭瑤嘖嘖讚道：瑤妹快來試試，難怪死朋友和索壑主曾作吹噓，這些菜肴確非尋常俗味！ 蕭瑤聽他這樣說法，遂也嘗了一嘗。 果然，所謂秦檜之皮，已然鮮雋絕倫，那唐僧之肉，更是香腴無比！ 顧朗軒目注索明道：索壑主，你這廚師是在哪裡找的，烹調手段，著實高明！ 索明尚未答言，蕭瑤笑道：上官兄怎忘了，索壑主剛才不是說，他可以總管上下五千年，縱橫九萬里麼？由此看來，他便請出易牙調味，卻也不難，無怪席上之物，都是荀氏饌經，段家食品了！ 索明笑道：蕭姑娘與上官大俠莫要只誇菜好，但飲杯中酒兒嘗嘗。 蕭瑤舉杯欲飲，卻見杯中酒色甚是黃濁，不禁皺眉問道：這酒色怎麼甚為黃濁，莫非是世間傳說，飲了會忘卻前生之事的孟婆湯麼？ 索明哈哈一笑，揚眉說道：孟婆湯縱具迷魂之力，也不過只能迷迷尋常庸俗之人，蕭姑娘堂堂紅衣崑崙，難道還懼怯一杯濁酒？ 說完，先行舉杯，把那杯色澤黃濁的孟婆湯一傾而盡！ 蕭瑤趁他舉杯之際，暗以蟻語傳聲功力向顧朗軒耳邊說道：顧兄，任何酒菜讓我先嘗，若是無毒，你再開懷飲啖！ 顧朗軒知道蕭瑤一來內功修為高於自己，二來又有一柄專解百毒的通天犀角匕首在身，遂略一頷首，表示同意。 蕭瑤等索明把酒飲完，也將那杯孟婆湯徐徐飲盡，失聲讚道：索壑主真會享受，這孟婆湯看來酒色雖濁，卻極香醇，斟逾杯口，仍不溢出，大概窖藏足有五十年以上的了？ 索明目注蕭瑤，以一種欽佩的神色點頭說道：想不到蕭姑娘不單是武林翹楚，並還是杜康知音，來來來，索明再敬一杯。 蕭瑤搖手說道：慢來，慢來，我先請問索壑主，你這席閻王大宴，除了這四色酒菜以外，還有些什麼大菜？ 索明還未答話，那自稱死鍾馗的黑衣判官含笑答道：大菜多呢，鶴炙雉膏，蜂糖蟻醬，蟹胥鶩肪，鱸膾黿羹，無不應有盡有 蕭瑤不等對方話完，使搖頭說道：不夠完美，還缺一點東西！ 索明含笑問道：蕭姑娘莫非有甚特嗜？敬請說出，我命廚下準備！ 蕭瑤笑道：不是缺菜，是缺人，一席盛宴，只有五人，未免太嫌寂寞，我想請索壑主利用你總管上下五千年之特權，再找四位陪客！ 索明毫不考慮地點頭說道：可以，可以，我請西施、昭君、貂蟬、太真等四大美人來為蕭姑娘和上官大俠侑酒如何？ 蕭瑤微微一笑，搖頭說道：古代名姬，不敢唐突！ 索明笑道：蕭姑娘若嫌這四位太以古典，便換些時髦點的近代人吧，董小宛，顧橫波、李香君、柳如是等秦淮四艷，總是桃花扇底，燕子燈前，妙舞清歌，當筵侑灑的理想人選了吧？ 蕭瑤失笑說道：索壑主怎麼說來說去都是女的，應該知道，我們女人看女人，是對方越美，自己越妒，可以說是越看越無滋味！ 索明撫掌笑道：蕭姑娘妙人妙語，既然女人不愛看女子，便加上幾個男的如何？潘安、宋玉、衛玠、子都 顧朗軒猜出蕭瑤的心意，遂在一旁幫腔接口道：不行！no!這幾位都是年輕貌美、俊極一時之人，我老頭子若是與他們同席，豈不自慚形穢，哪裡還飲得下酒？ 索明皺眉道：男也不妙，女也不好，這陪客難找了！ 顧朗軒向蕭瑤看了一眼，含笑說道：索壑主莫要作難，我建議你最好是讓蕭姑娘自行點將。 索明頷首笑道：對，對，蕭姑娘請點將吧，你要我找的四名陪客，是男人？還是女人？是今人？還是古人？ 蕭瑤一軒秀眉，笑吟吟地說道：我是不偏不倚，允執厥中，要兩名男人，兩名女人，兩名古人，兩名今人！ 索明看她一眼，含笑說道：蕭姑娘請講，兩名古人是誰？ 蕭瑤答道：我既不泥古，亦不媚今，今人古人，各是一男一女，我要一升不醉、一升亦醉的淳于髡，和那開今世當爐賣酒之濫觴的風流才女卓文君。 索明一怔，目注那位自稱為死鍾馗的黑衣判官，揚眉說道：你且查查生死簿，看淳于髡和卓文君是否還在我幽冥地府之中？ 黑衣判官懂得索明之意，根本就不去取甚生死簿，站起身形，應聲稟道：啟稟帝君，屬下記得淳于髡與卓文君，一是忠臣，一個是失節婦，也只有風流小罪，並無大惡，均早已輪迴轉世，不在此處沉淪的了！ 索明方自哦了一聲，蕭瑤忽然咯咯嬌笑。 索明詫道：蕭姑娘笑些什麼？ 蕭瑤向那死鍾馗抱拳笑道：死朋友，承教，承教，由於這幾句話兒，我才知道慢說是忠臣、孝子、義夫、節婦，便是稍有小罪之人，也早赴輪迴，則如今尚留在千鬼壑中之人，定是些其罪滔天的十惡不赦之輩！ 這幾句話兒，是拿著對方的語病，猛摑對方耳光，語意尖酸無比，使同席的一位閻君和兩位判官，都無言可對，面面相覷！ 顧朗軒聞言見狀，哈哈笑道：瑤妹舌如鋒刃，語妙千秋，我要借花獻佛，敬你一杯。 蕭瑤秀目雙揚，與顧朗軒乾了一杯美酒。 他們這當著和尚猛罵賊禿之舉，意在激怒對方，早點見個真章！ 但那千鬼壑壑主索明，好似氣量頗大，不過神色略一尷尬之後，便又向蕭瑤含笑問道：蕭姑娘多多包涵，我再請教一下，你所指的兩名今人是誰？ 蕭瑤道：也是一男一女，男的叫南宮敬，女的叫木小萍，索壑主這次不會推說他們不在吧！ 索明笑道：抱歉，對於蕭姑娘的這項吩咐，我仍然只能作到一半！ 蕭瑤目光一注，挑眉問道：你作得到哪一半？是男在女不在，還是女在男不在？ 索明伸手舉杯，飲了一口酒，微笑答道：是男在女不在，木神妃另因要事羈身，無法趕到此處！ 顧朗軒與蕭瑤聽索明承認南宮敬在此，不禁相顧一笑，心中略慰。 蕭瑤又道：既然南宮敬在此，索壑主能否把他請 索明不等蕭瑤話完，便即接口笑道：蕭姑娘，你不要老是向我提出要求，如今由我來向你提件要求如何？ 蕭瑤問道：什麼要求？ 索明笑道：我想請蕭姑娘與上官大俠參與木神妃的武林霸業，飲杯同盟血酒。 蕭瑤毫不考慮地斷然搖頭答道：辦不到，薰蕕無法共器，冰炭不能同爐！ 索明似乎料到蕭瑤有此一答，故而並不驚奇，也不失望，笑了一笑說道：既然如此，南宮敬得來不易，蕭姑娘若想見他，我要你付點代價！ 蕭瑤嫣然笑道：索壑主怎麼直到如今才收斂鬼氣，露出江湖人物本色，說吧，你要我付的是什麼代價？ 索明左手自袍袖中伸出三根手指，含笑說道：過三關！ 顧朗軒在一旁問道：索壑主，這三關是人關還是物關？怎樣過法？ 索明笑道：上官大俠，你看見那道地上長橋沒有？ 顧朗軒失笑說道：我又不是瞎子，自然看得見，並知那是頗為馳名的血污池和奈何橋！ 索明點頭說道：通越奈何橋，身無所傷，然後再從血污池上，踏波回轉，而足無所污，便算是過了第一關。 顧朗軒道：第二關呢？ 索明笑道：第二關比較簡單，是與我屬下的一名選手，硬拼三掌！ 顧朗軒聞言，不禁目光微閃，把紅黑二判，和那些大頭鬼、小頭鬼、夜叉鬼、吊死鬼等，略一掃視，揚眉說道：索壑主所屬的超群選手，是哪一位？ 索明搖頭答道：上官大俠不必看了，他如今不在望鄉台，是要奉命才來。 蕭瑤靈機忽動，揚眉問道：既稱選手，必係超人，是不是那幾乎高有一丈的白無常？ 索明笑道：蕭姑娘真是冰雪聰明，一猜便對！ 蕭瑤嫣然一笑，妙目閃光說道：這第二關倒頗精采，三掌硬拼，強弱必見，不是要命無常，便是要無常命！ 顧朗軒在一旁又道：第三關呢？又是什麼花樣？ 索明道：只要上官大俠或蕭姑娘過得了前兩關，我便把兩位帶到南宮敬的面前，讓你救他脫險，換句話說，這救人脫險的手段，便是第三關了！ 顧朗軒靜靜聽完，點頭說道：好，我們願闖三關，但不知若能闖過？ 索明接口笑道：只要闖過三關，索明列隊
