Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve
Feiyun Pavilion is really a good place. It is located in the deep shade of the foothills of Luojia Mountain, but borders on the East Lake on the right side. Looking out from the window, you can have a panoramic view of the lake and mountains, which makes people forget all their thoughts.
As the night was gradually sinking, when the four of them boarded the Feiyun Pavilion, the room had already been lit, and the food and wine had already been set up.
There are four sets of seats, cups and chopsticks. After the two parties were divided into guests and hosts, Gu Feiqiong, the host, apologized to Zhu Siniang with a smile: I'm sorry!Is this girl the Lord's eldest lady or the second lady?
Zhu Siniang smiled lightly and said: It's the second daughter Zhu Yanan.
Gu Feiqiong said: So it's the second young lady.
Then, he cast his eyes on Zhu Yanan and said with a smile: Second Miss is so beautiful!
Zhu Yanan also smiled indifferently, and imitated the tone of an adult and said: Many compliments!
Bai Shijie continued with a smile all over his face: "Lingzhu and Second Miss walked together. People who don't know the inside story will definitely think they are two sisters!"
Zhu Siniang's face turned pale and she said: We should be serious.
Gu Feiqiong raised his glass with a smile and said: Younger sister, first offer a glass to Lingzhu and Second Miss, and then we will talk while eating.
Zhu Yanan just clinked glasses, and the other three drank them all in one gulp.
Zhu Siniang smiled and said: Good wine!If I remember correctly, this should be Guibao's self-brewed Baihualu?
Bai Shijie nodded repeatedly: Exactly, exactly.
Zhu Siniang focused on Gu Feiqiong, and said with a complete expression: "The wife of the castle owner is here for a special invitation, what advice do you have?"Now you can open the skylight and speak out.
Gu Feiqiong smiled awkwardly, and Zhu Siniang asked again: "Madam of the castle owner, there is one thing that I need to understand first, that is, a month ago, I ordered Ge Yongping to break his arm to act as the head, to Chunyu The old thief passed down the order of seven kills, has Ge Yongping done it for me?
Gu Feiqiong nodded and said: Yes, there is such a thing.
Zhu Siniang continued: "Okay, let's talk about your original intention now!"
Gu Feiqiong smiled wryly and said: "To tell you the truth, my little sister has heard the castle master tell you about the past.
Zhu Siniang cut off coldly: Do you believe that old thief's one-sided words?
Yes.Gu Feiqiong continued with a serious face: I believe what he said is deeply sorry for you.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he immediately continued: "For the castle master, I have been married to him for more than five years. As for his understanding, I am confident that I will not be any worse than Lingzhu. From the one-sided words he said to me , even if there are words to speculate that I am deeply sorry for you, then the truth of the year is self-evident.
Zhu Siniang gritted her silver teeth, but he couldn't speak for a while.
Gu Feiqiong sighed meaningfully: Lord, in a man-centered society, women will always be abused. You and I are unfortunately born as daughters.
Her words were stopped by Zhu Siniang's gesture: Are you persuading the old thief Chunyu?
Gu Feiqiong smiled wryly and said: Little sister dare not!I'm just standing on the standpoint of being a woman and advising Lingzhu with two idioms, that is, it is better to break up enemies than tie them up, and to be forgiving and forgiving.
Zhu Siniang snorted coldly and said, "Of course you can be happy to speak sarcastic words. In those days, when I had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, who would spare me?"
Gu Feiqiong frowned and said: Lord, please listen to me again
Zhu Siniang continued: Needless to say, more than ten years of humiliation and life lessons, why did I come here, now, I not only have to kill the old thief Chunyu to be willing, but also have to do it for thousands of people who have been abused and oppressed by the whole world The women let out a sigh of resentment.
Gu Feiqiong continued with a serious face: "Is the Lord absolutely not accepting my advice?"
Zhu Siniang smiled and said: I'm sorry about this!
Gu Feiqiong sighed and said: "Since the Lord is determined to go his own way, I have no choice but to make a long story short."
Zhu Siniang laughed and said: It should be like this.
Gu Feiqiong paid attention and continued: "Lingzhu has arrived in Xiakou for nearly a month, and he is not too unfamiliar with the situation in this castle, is he?"
Zhu Siniang said: "I don't deny this, but I don't know where the old thief Chunyu is going?"
Gu Feiqiong said: "Then, I can tell you frankly that the castle owner automatically avoided you on the third day after receiving your Seven Killing Order. He didn't come back until yesterday. He asked me to come forward to invite you. To resolve it, he said, as long as the hatred is turned into peace.He was willing to accept any condition, within the limits of possibility.
Zhu Siniang asked with a smile: I want his head, and he agrees?
Commander, Gu Feiqiong said with a serious face: Please forgive me for saying something unpleasant, the reason why the Castle Lord left voluntarily was not because he was afraid of you.
Zhu Siniang sneered and said: I don't want him to be afraid of me, all I want is that old thief's head.
When Gu Feiqiong's pretty face changed slightly, Bai Shijie said with a smile: "My lord, can you allow me, an old subordinate, to say a few words?"
Zhu Siniang cut off coldly: Hall Master Bai, if what you want to say is an old problem, I think you are a bit odious?
Bai Shijie smiled wryly and said: "Lingzhu, my starting point is good intentions. No matter what, if everyone pulls their faces away, it will do more harm than good to Lingzhu."
Zhu Siniang sneered: Are you a threat?
Bai Shijie hastily continued: How dare I.
Zhu Yanan, who had never spoken all this time, suddenly interrupted with a smile: Mother!Before coming here, the eldest sister once said that this is a Hongmen banquet, and depending on the situation, Xiang Zhuang, who is dancing the sword, should appear on the stage, right?
Zhu Siniang grunted and said: Not bad!It should be time.
Then the cold eyes swept across the faces of the two of them respectively, and said with a sneer: "You two, what are you waiting for?"
Gu Feiqiong said in a solemn voice: The Lord is wise and wise, and all the circumstances were already expected, but I can't stop giving the last advice.
Zhu Siniang cut her mouth and said: No!
Huo Ran stood up, turned his head and shouted to Zhu Yanan in a deep voice: Yanan, let's go!
With a soft smile, a young woman in red appeared at the door, she smiled sweetly at Zhu Siniang, and said: Zhu Lingzhu, there is a saying, once you come, you will be at ease, at this moment, the wine and dishes on the table are still intact, and the Hongmen Banquet has not yet begun , how can you speak in a hurry!
The young woman in red, Nianyue Huaxin, is both beautiful and charming, she can be regarded as a natural beauty of youth and beauty, while she was talking, she entered the room twisting her waist.
Zhu Siniang and Zhu Yanan sat down again, looked at them coldly and asked: Who are you?
The young woman in red asked back: Let the Lord know that the Lord Chunyu has a master?
Zhu Siniang hummed and said: I've heard of it.
The young woman in red smiled and said: "Then, I am the wife of the master of Chunyu Castle, my surname is Huyan, and my name is a beautiful word."
Zhu Siniang said with a groan, "Can it be regarded as Xiang Zhuang at the Hongmen Banquet?"
Hu Yanmei shook her head and smiled coquettishly: Wrong!Zhu Lingzhu, what is the identity of Xiang Zhuang at the Hongmen Banquet? I, Hu Yanmei, do not dare to be arrogant, but I will not belittle myself to such an extent!
Zhu Siniang snorted coldly and said: Have you finished your nonsense?
Hu Yanmei smiled and said: For the time being, it's over.
Immediately afterwards, he shouted in a deep voice: "The Hongmen Banquet has officially started, where is Xiang Zhuang?"
A clear voice came from outside the door: Xiang Zhuang is here!
Following the words, a rather handsome scholar in white shirt, about twenty-four or five years old, walked in slowly, smiled indifferently at Zhu Siniang, and said: "You are too small, I would like to ask your lord for advice." Pass on unique skills.
Zhu Yanan took the lead and said: You are not worthy of handing my paw to my mother!
While speaking, he suddenly stood up, and with a clang, the long sword on his shoulder was revealed, and he pointed his halberd sharply and shouted: madman!Make a move with a bright weapon!
The white-shirted scholar brightened his sword and said with a smile: "Yes, respect is worse than obedience. I am arrogant."
Zhu Siniang snapped and said, "Wait a minute!
The white-clothed scholar asked in amazement: What does your lord see and teach?
Zhu Siniang asked attentively, "Who are you, old thief Chunyu?"
The white-clothed scholar smiled and said, "Let the Lord speak politely, okay?"
Zhu Siniang sneered, "Stop talking nonsense!If you piss me off, I don't care who you are, and I'll shoot you first!
The white-clothed scholar raised his eyebrows, but Hu Yanmei laughed first: Bo Wen, since the Lord is not ashamed to ask, you can tell her your identity!
The white-clothed scholar smiled and said, "Master, it's not that Bo Wen refused to tell her, it's because she was too rude."
Hu Yanmei continued with a smile: Then, let me explain for you!
Then, he turned his head to Zhu Siniang and said with a smile: Lord, this young man is my poor husband's closed apprentice, of course he is also the master Chunyu's apprentice, his name is Huyan Bowen.
Zhu Siniang said with a smile: "Your husband's name is Huyanqi, and your name is Huyanmei. At this moment, there is another apprentice named Huyan. You seem to be particularly interested in the word Huyan."
Huyan Meijiao smiled and said: The implication of the master's words is that it is ironic that we with the same surname cannot get married?
Zhu Siniang sneered and said: I don't have time to care about you!
Then, he smiled lightly and said, "If you kill the young one, you won't be afraid that the old one won't come out."
After a pause, he raised his head and shouted at Zhu Yanan in a deep voice: Yanan, don't show mercy!
yes!With a coquettish response, Zhu Yanan slashed at Huyan Bowen's left shoulder with a swish.
Huyan Bowen smiled coldly: Good time!
While speaking, he swung his sword with his right hand, and pointed at Zhu Yanan's nipple point with his left hand.
There is an unwritten rule in Jianghu, that is, when fighting women, usually do not attack the breast roots and perineum.
If someone is willing to risk disrespect and violate this rule, then it is not difficult to imagine the character of this person.
At this time, Huyan Bowen was hard-pressed as soon as he made a move, and he used both swords and fingers, both defensive and offensive, which shows that his skills are quite superb.
But he shouldn't provoke this little evil star with frivolous moves that border on obscenity.
It should be noted that although Zhu Yanan is much more gentle and gentle than his sister Zhu Shengnan, but even though he was born to a single mother, he also inherited a little bit of his mother's extreme personality.
Now, Huyan Bowen, relying on his superb martial arts, did not put this little girl in his eyes, and tried to provoke her with obscene moves, but he did not expect that this seemingly inconspicuous little girl was the first master below Zhu Siniang .
She has been taking the thousand-year-old stone fungus in Tianxin Valley for more than ten years, so her internal strength is also particularly superior to others.
Just now, when Zhu Siniang told her not to be merciful, that sword had already used 90% of its real power, but when she saw the other party's obscene moves, she couldn't help being furious, and increased the sword's true power to 120%. And sneered: let go!
With a bang, the long sword in Huyan Bowen's hand flew up and was nailed into the ceiling. The left arm that used the obscene move was also cut horizontally by Zhu Yanan's palm at the same time, as if being cut by a knife. The wrist was broken.
Zhu Yanan's shocking gesture not only made Huyan Bowen terrified, even his wrist was cut off, but he didn't cry out in pain. Even Hu Yanmei and Gu Feiqiong, who were close at hand, didn't have time to take rescue action.
Because, the change in front of me was too unexpected.
Since Huyan Bowen is Huyanqi's closed apprentice, he is naturally much better at martial arts than those of Chun Yukun's apprentices. Who would have expected him to suffer such a serious injury with just one move!
Moreover, because Zhu Yanan was angry with the other party's obscenity, even though he had already dealt heavy damage to the other party, he still refused to let it go.
Immediately afterwards, she shook the opponent's long sword, and after cutting off the opponent's wrist, she swung the sword across like lightning.
This sword was both ruthless and fast, and it was the moment of bad luck that Huyan Bowen was about to be cut in half.
There was a clang of gold and iron, and Zhu Yanan's long sword was blocked.
It was two middle-aged men in their early thirties who rescued Huyan Bowen from the ghost gate in time.
Although the two of them caught Zhu Yanan's sword with two long swords by surprise, but because their faces changed at the same time, they obviously didn't take advantage of it. With the buffer of this moment, Hu Yanbai Wen Cai was pulled away by Hu Yanmei.
While gesturing to the waiters to bandage Huyan Bowen's wound, he sneered at Zhu Siniang, "Qianyuan is so skillful!"
Zhu Siniang smiled lightly and said: Many compliments.
Only then did Huyan Bowen come back to his senses.
He resisted the pain that pierced his heart, and said through gnashing of teeth: "Master, you have to express this anger on behalf of my apprentice."
Hu Yanmei smiled and said: Don't worry, I will definitely capture that girl alive and hand it over to you intact, allowing you to dispose of it freely.
Huyan Bowen was so painful that his teeth were clinging to each other, and he said in a trembling voice: Thank you, Mrs.
In just these few words, Zhu Yanan and the two middle-aged men had quickly exchanged fifteen moves.
Don't look at the two tall, and they are two against one, but they didn't take advantage of it at all.
Moreover, Zhu Yanan made the opponent a little flustered with the killers, and sneered, "It turns out that you two only have the ability to sneak attack."
Although the room of the Hongmen Banquet is spacious, it seems a bit in the way if there is a table of banquets, and the three people are fighting each other.
Therefore, one of the two middle-aged men said in a deep voice: No way!It can't be used here, let's go outside.
Zhu Yanan sneered and said: A truly capable person can maneuver freely even in a small area. In my opinion, you two should accept your fate here!
Another middle-aged man shouted angrily: "Stinky girl!You think we are afraid of you!
Zhu Yanan smiled and said: I haven't asked you two about your identities yet!
The middle-aged man said with a sneer: Go to the Hall of the King of Hell and ask!
Huh, Huh, Huh made three sword strikes in a row, unexpectedly cooperating with his companions, forcing Zhu Yanan back three steps.
Zhu Yanan smiled coquettishly and said: By the way, this is a bit like the people from Invincible Fort, like just now, I thought you were a bunch of local chickens and dogs!
As she spoke, the long sword in her hand fluttered, not only managed to return to the original place, but also forced the opponents to retreat again and again, losing the strength to fight back, and then sneered: "Hi!You two, if you have the ability to suppress the box, quickly show it, after ten moves, there will be no chance!
The meaning of this statement is obvious, that is to say, within ten moves, the two of them will be slaughtered.
Hu Yanmei and Gu Feiqiong had an anxious look on their pretty faces, but Zhu Siniang smiled indifferently and said: "Madam, who are those two?"
Gu Feiqiong was startled and said: Who is the Lord asking?
Zhu Siniang replied casually: "I'm asking about those two people who fought against the little girl."
Gu Feiqiong snorted and said: Those are the two juniors of the castle master.
Zhu Siniang said: How many apprentices does Huyanqi have?
Gu Feiqiong said: There are four in total.
Zhu Siniang smiled and said: These two seem to be stronger than the one just now
No!Gu Feiqiong continued: "The junior brother just now was caused by the carelessness of underestimating the enemy."
Before he finished speaking, his complexion changed, and he shouted: "Second Miss, show mercy!
It turned out that although Gu Feiqiong was talking with Zhu Siniang, her beautiful eyes were always staring at the arena.
At this moment, Zhu Yanan happened to have sent a mature man's long sword flying, and slashed at the opponent's waist with his flying sword.
Don't look at Zhu Yanan's young age, but her martial arts has already reached the state of sending and receiving freely.
Just when the middle-aged man had nothing to say, after hearing Gu Feiqiong's voice, she actually changed the sword's posture from a slash to a flat strike, so that the middle-aged man could escape from death.
However, just this flat pat was enough for the middle-aged man. After being patted down to the ground, his huge body rolled several times before stopping.
Of the two middle-aged men, one fell down, and the remaining one couldn't help being startled, but Zhu Yanan didn't even look at the one she had knocked down.
Followed by a sword, swung the opponent's long sword away, and pointed the parallel fingers of his left hand in the air. The middle-aged man stood on the spot in a daze, then pressed the tip of the sword against the opponent's throat, turned his head and said to Gu Feiqiong: "Madam of the castle, I I've shown mercy, what do you say?
Zhu Yanan's move can be regarded as extremely clean.
Gu Feiqiong and Hu Yanmei couldn't help muttering in their hearts: This girl's skills really can't match her age!
After hearing Zhu Yanan's words, Gu Feiqiong couldn't help but blushed, and smiled embarrassingly: "Thank you, Second Miss!
Zhu Yanan sneered and said: I didn't show mercy just to ask you to thank me.
Gu Feiqiong smiled embarrassingly again and said: The meaning of the second lady is
Zhu Siniang continued with a smile: "Young girl, what you mean is, does the wife of the castle owner want your junior brother?"
Gu Feiqiong couldn't help but change her pretty face and said: Yes, of course
Zhu Siniang said in a serious tone: I am here for the golden face of your wife, the castle owner. Since you still want your junior brother, you should come up with something like the wife of the castle owner.
Gu Feiqiong said with a bit of hesitation: This
She was obviously a little embarrassed, and turned her gaze to Hu Yanmei, who smiled lightly and said: You are the wife of the castle owner, so you naturally have the right to act.
Gu Feiqiong's expression was complete and he said: "Then, tonight's banquet will end here. I will personally send Zhu Lingzhu's mother and daughter away from the castle. I hope that no more incidents will happen!"
Hu Yanmei's face changed slightly and she said: Mrs. Gu, are you planning to just let it go?
good.Gu Feiqiong continued with a serious face: I am completely adhering to the castle master's will.
Hu Yanmei's pretty face changed again: What do you mean, you think I shouldn't force myself to stand out?
Gu Feiqiong smiled lightly and said: You said this yourself.
Gu Feiqiong seemed to be concerned about Hu Yanmei's identity, although he said it not very politely, it could not be regarded as contradictory.
This situation made Zhu Siniang think in her heart: These two may be playing the oboe and took the opportunity to step down, or it may really be that Hu Yanmei relied on her status as a teacher and forced her to come forward by exceeding her authority.
Before she could finish her thoughts, Hu Yanmei said coldly: Good!You are the hostess here, and you have the right to act cheaply. Now, as you said, this is the end, but I have to ask you, the hostess: how do you plan to deal with the revenge of your fourth junior brother?
Gu Feiqiong raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me ask you to punish me in front of my mentor and castle master, you should be satisfied, right?"
Hu Yanmei shouted angrily: Gu Feiqiong, you dare to speak like that in front of me!
Gu Feiqiong said with a smile: Madam Huyan, I have to remind you that I have already taken the blame for others, so you can't ask me to be punished in front of you, right?
When Hu Yanmei's pretty face changed, a figure flashed, and Aunt Shuiyin floated into the room, and said with a smile: "You two ladies, why did you raise the bar?"
Gu Feiqiong laughed first and said: "The third aunt came just in time, please give me a review
Aunt Shuiyin laughed and said: No need, we are all one family, and occasionally there is a conflict between words, there is no need to be so serious!
Zhu Siniang curled her cherry lips and said: Yanan, let's go!
Hu Yanmei hastily said with a sneer: If you want to leave, you have to leave at least one arm behind!
Zhu Siniang sneered: The arm is ready-made, I bet you don't have the guts or the ability to take it.
The weight of these two sentences is quite heavy.
Obviously, Zhu Siniang had aroused her extreme nature, reckless of all consequences, and was ready to fight fiercely.
Moreover, following her words, she also stood up abruptly, and shouted to Zhu Yanan in a deep voice: Yanan, as the daughter of the Lord of the Seven Kills, if you want to take advantage of the hostages to break out, you will inevitably make yourself laugh.
She paused, and continued with a particularly emphatic tone: Kill this guy first, let's break in!
At this moment, Aunt Shuiyin had already persuaded Hu Yanmei to come down, after hearing the words, she hastily shouted: "Second Miss, show mercy!"
Zhu Yanan wouldn't listen if someone else told him to be merciful under the sword.
But Aunt Shuiyin has her special status, Zhu Yanan has to listen, and in fact, Zhu Yanan does not approve of Naimu's plan to kill the hostages to break through.
Under these two circumstances, the middle-aged man who fell under her sword was able to escape death.
When Aunt Shuiyin saw that Zhu Yanan had given her face, she immediately blessed her and said, "Thank you, Second Miss, for your mercy!"
Immediately afterwards, he smiled and said to Zhu Siniang: Lord, please calm down the anger of the thunder, and allow me, Miss Shuiyin, to say a few words as a private acquaintance in the past?
Aunt Shuiyin was saying that her beautiful eyes were also speaking at the same time, but only Zhu Siniang could understand the expression in her beautiful eyes.
Although Zhu Siniang understood the other party's intentions, she still smiled deliberately on the outside and said: I'm sorry!In the Invincible Castle, although there are many people I know, there is no one who can be considered a personal friend!
This is tantamount to hitting a hard nail on Aunt Shuiyin.
After Shuiyin smiled, Zhu Siniang continued coldly: "Besides, take a step back and say, even if someone has a little personal relationship with me, it's not the time to talk about it now!"
Aunt Shuiyin smiled embarrassingly again and said: I don't talk about public friendship and personal acquaintances, may the Lord allow me to say a few words from the standpoint of a third party?
Zhu Siniang had already set up her airs enough, and she had done enough of pretentiousness, so she smiled slightly and said: No one is stopping you from speaking.
Aunt Shuiyin's expression was complete and she said: "The Lord has created an extraordinary career with the talent of the overlord. It can be regarded as a great ambition, swallowing rivers and mountains with arrogance. What an honor his status is. At this moment, even if the two wives have offended you, the Lord If the children were not present, and they might not know it, you can laugh it off, so why bother to have the same knowledge as them!
Zhu Siniang smiled and said: You are very good at talking and flattering.
Aunt Shuiyin smiled and said: "Where, what I said was from the bottom of my heart."
Then, with a full expression, he said: "Can the Lord give me thin noodles, so that the matter of tonight is overwhelmed?"
Zhu Siniang grunted and said: I agree to let it go temporarily, and settle the settlement when I see the old thief Chunyu.
Aunt Shuiyin hastily continued, "Thank you, Lingzhu!"
Zhu Siniang said to Zhu Yanan in a deep voice: "Yanan, let go of that guy."
yes!Amid Zhu Yanan's coquettish response, Shuiyingu continued with a smile: "Shuiyingu first respects the Lord Ling and the second young lady with a glass of water and wine, and then she and Mrs. Gu respectfully send the Lord out of the castle."
Zhu Siniang hurriedly said: No need, our mother and daughter will leave by themselves.
Then, he sneered again and said: "However, I warn you not to play flower guns!"Anyone who intercepts secretly will be considered tired of his life!
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he immediately shouted to Zhu Yanan in a deep voice: Yanan, follow me!
Before the final sound of the word Chuang fell, two figures flew up, and went out through the window, and disappeared into the dark night in a flash.
After Zhu Yanan, mother and daughter left, Hu Yanmei frowned at Aunt Shuiyin and asked: Mrs. Shui, do you think it was Castle Master Chunyu who changed his mind?
Aunt Shuiyin nodded and said: Exactly.
Hu Yanmei then asked: Why?
Aunt Mercury: The Castle Master has seen Zhu Yanan's skill in secret, and thinks that if we want to keep their mother and daughter, we have to pay a high price, which is too uneconomical.
Gu Feiqiong went on to say, "Could it be that the castle owner has a good strategy of defeating others without fighting?"
Aunt Shuiyin: I don't know about this, but the owner of the castle is very confident, and he has other arrangements.
Hu Yanmei continued coldly, "Where is Castle Master Chunyu?"
Aunt Shuiyin smiled and said: He said that he will come here soon.
Zhu Siniang, Zhu Ya, mother and daughter, did not encounter any obstacles, and left the Invincible Fort unimpeded.
But when they arrived at the wharf of Wuchang City, Zhu Shengnan led the escort of two generals Lin Zhong, Lin Yong, golden baboon Xiaohuang, ten mastiff dogs, twenty female swordsmen in yellow clothes, including a building boat, Also just sailed to the pier.
When Zhu Yanan caught his eye, he first asked with a smile: "Sister, what are you doing here?"
Zhu Shengnan said with a smile: My mother is going to answer you!
Zhu Siniang had already boarded the upstairs boat first, and while answering the salute from her subordinates, she frowned and said: "Why, you have lost confidence in your mother and your sister?"
Zhu Shengnan smiled and said: That's not what you said, mother, no matter how hard we are, there are only two of us
Zhu Siniang continued: "Look, didn't we come back safe and sound?"
Zhu Yanan smiled and said: "Mother, just now, if we continue to fight, the elder sister and others will come in time, it will be quite lively."
Zhu Shengnan was startled and said: You really have already fought once?
Zhu Siniang nodded and said: "That's right, girl, in the current situation, we have already come out in full force, in case
Zhu Shengnan laughed and said: Mother, you forgot that there are two envoys chasing souls and killing lives in the palace, chief and deputy managers, more than a hundred female swordsmen, plus rhubarb and mastiffs, these are worth hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers !
Zhu Yanan echoed: Yes!Forgive them for not being so brave.
Zhu Siniang's face darkened and she said: No way!From now on, no one is allowed to act without authorization!
Zhu Yanan frowned and said: Mother, before you came out of the mountain, you were not afraid of the sky and the earth, why are you becoming timid now?
Zhu Siniang sighed and said: "It's not that my mother has become timid, but because things went against my wishes, everything turned out to be unexpected, and the enemy we are facing is so tenacious and insidious, and if we are not careful, we will soon be killed." unmanageable situation
Speaking of this, suddenly there was a loud shout from the pier, and Zhu Siniang changed the subject: "What happened on the pier, why don't you sail?"
A female swordsman in yellow, who was guarding the side of the ship, raised her voice and replied: "Return to the Lord, the workers on the dock are fighting."
Zhu Siniang raised her voice and said: "There are not many things to do, let's set sail immediately!"
yes!After a series of promises, there was a burst of hustle and bustle, and amidst the hustle and bustle, the boat slowly left the pier.
At this moment, a young man dressed as a worker suddenly rushed to the side of the pier, and said hurriedly: "Hi!Slow down, I want to see the Lord Ling.
The person on duty at the side of the boat was No. 12 Huangyi. After being slightly startled, she raised her voice and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man raised his voice and replied: I am a friend of the soul chaser Lu Zhengying.
Huang Yi No. 12 said: You should have a name!
Zhu Yanan's heart fluttered, and he spoke first: Huang Yi No. 12, ordered the boat boss to dock again and pick him up on board.
The young man said: No need, I can come up by myself.
Well, the building boat has been more than three feet away from the shore, and the distance is still gradually increasing.
In this situation, for a person who does not have advanced attainments in qinggong, he dare not try it lightly, not to mention it is night, if you fall, and someone wants to save you, there is nothing you can do.
But this young man is from a casual background, with the style of a yellow oriole piercing a willow, he has leaped over the distance of nearly four feet lightly and gracefully, standing on the deck, making Zhu Shengnan, who has always looked above the top, couldn't help blurting out Give it a thumbs up: Good!
But the young man continued with a smile: "Miss is absurd!"
Zhu Shengnan was startled and said, "You know me?"
The young man laughed in a low voice: "It's not an anecdote that someone knows the eldest lady of the Commander of Seven Killings. If someone can call out my name, it will be an anecdote!"
Zhu Yanan continued with a smile: I can call your name, do you believe it?
The young man smiled and said: Second Miss may have this possibility.
Zhu Yanan smiled coquettishly: It is not possible, I am absolutely sure, you are
Then, he said through sound transmission with true energy: You are Mrs. Shui's adopted daughter, Shui Xiangyun.
The young man continued with a smile: "Second Young Miss's eyes are like lightning, she can't hide anything from you."
Zhu Yanan continued via voice transmission: "Sister Shui is too much for the prize. In fact, I just guessed it randomly."
Zhu Shengnan frowned and asked: What the hell are you doing?
Zhu Yanan smiled and said: Sister, this young man is Shui Xiangyun.
After Zhu Shengnan was slightly startled, he said, "Please come and sit inside!"
Entering the official cabin inside, after going through the routine courtesies, Zhu Siniang asked attentively, "Did Miss Shui bring a message for Lingtang during this trip?"
Shui Xiangyun nodded and said: Yes, because there are too many eyeliners in Invincible Fort, I had to come here in disguise.
Zhu Siniang then asked, "What did Lingtang say?"
Shui Xiangyun said: "My adoptive mother said that Chunyukun's whereabouts are still a big secret so far.
Zhu Yanan interjected and asked, "Could it be that even Gu Feiqiong, who is acting as the master of the castle, doesn't know about it?"
Shui Xiangyun said: Gu Feiqiong should know, but she won't tell my foster mother.
Zhu Siniang continued in thought: "Chun Yukun really came back yesterday?"
Yes.Shui Xiangyun nodded and continued: In fact, when the second lady showed her might in the Invincible Fort just now, Chun Yukun was also secretly spying on her.
Zhu Siniang couldn't help but said: "This old thief can hold his breath."
Shui Xiangyun smiled and said: Originally, there were still many famous tricks in their scheduled plan. It was only temporarily canceled after Chun Yukun personally saw the second lady's peerless magic. Only people can walk out of the Invincible Fort without hindrance.
Zhu Siniang continued in deep thought: "The old thief Chunyu can appear in the fort at any time, to ensure that he has not left the invincible fort."
Shui Xiangyun nodded and said: Yes, my foster mother thinks the same way.
Zhu Siniang asked attentively: "What speculation does Ling Tang have about Chunyu's mysterious travels?"
Shui Xiangyun said: "Her old man speculates that Chun Yukun may be retreating with Hu Yanqi to practice some kind of vicious martial arts together.
Zhu Siniang grunted and said: This speculation is quite reasonable.
She paused for a while, and then asked with attention: "Old thief Chun Yukun, did he officially retreat after receiving my Seven Killing Order?"
Shui Xiangyun said: Yes
Zhu Siniang froze her teeth and said, "That miraculous master, Yi Mingli, also mysteriously disappeared at the same time as Chun Yukun's old thief?"
Shui Xiangyun nodded again and said: roughly the same.
Zhu Siniang pondered and continued, "Does Lingtang also know Ge Yongping, the god of the desert who passed down the Seven Killing Order on my behalf?"
Shui Xiangyun asked with a smile: "Is it the one whose arm was cut off by the lord?"
Zhu Siniang nodded and said: Not bad.
Shui Xiangyun smiled and said: Ge Yongping is a guest in the Invincible Fort, and that guy has not been in the Invincible Fort not long ago, so my mother may not have talked with him, but I get along well with him , I even sat on his green eagle!
Zhu Siniang asked thoughtfully: After Ge Yongping handed down the Seven Killing Order on my behalf, has he never appeared?
Yes.
Did he also retreat with the old thief Chunyu?
Shui Xiangyun murmured and said: It is possible.
Zhu Siniang pondered for a while, and then said seriously: "Xiangyun, I treat you as one of my own, so I told you a big secret, but after you know it, besides telling Lingtang, you have to be very careful to keep it secret."
Shui Xiangyun continued: "Okay, I will keep it a secret."
Only then did Zhu Siniang continue in the lowest voice: Ge Yongping promised to work for me, so he should be considered one of my own.
Shui Xiangyun said with an oh: That's how it is.
Therefore, Zhu Siniang continued with a smile: If it is confirmed that Ge Yongping is retreating with Chun Yukun, as long as he can try to find Ge Yongping, the situation will be clear.
Shui Xiangyun repeatedly nodded and said: Yes, this is a good way
Zhu Shengnan interrupted and said: Mom, there is one thing we have to think about carefully.
Zhu Siniang was startled and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Shengnan continued: Ge Yongping's arm was abolished by you
Zhu Siniang grumbled and said, "Are you afraid that he will bear grudges and change his mind?"
Zhu Shengnan said: "As the saying goes, you know people, know faces, but don't know your heart. At that time, Ge Yongping was forced by his mother's supernatural power. In order to save his life, Ge Yongping had to obey everything. Once he was out of control, it would be difficult to keep him from changing his mind. Strength, his current backing, is no worse than us!
Zhu Siniang grunted and said: Your analysis makes sense.
Then, he smiled lightly and said: However, I forgive him for not daring to betray me.
Zhu Shengnan said: "It's true, but it's always better to be cautious. At least, it's better not to let him know about Mrs. Shui and Sister Xiangyun for the time being."
Zhu Siniang repeatedly nodded her head and said: It's reasonable, it's reasonable.
Then, shifting his gaze to Shui Xiangyun, he asked: Just now, did you understand what our mother and daughter said?
Shui Xiangyun smiled and said: Yes.
So.Zhu Siniang accepted it with a serious face: Regarding the contact with Ge Yongping, let's put it aside for the time being, and wait for further notice.
Shui Xiangyun answered with a serious face: Yes, Xiangyun wrote it down.
Zhu Siniang then asked: Is there any other explanation from the Lingtang?
Shui Xiangyun pondered and said: "My adoptive mother said, before you understand the full strength and movement of Chun Yukun and others, please ask the Lord to stay still for the time being."
Zhu Siniang nodded and said: "I know this, but fortunately, I have set a date for them to come to wait for orders on New Year's Day next year, and there are still more than three months, so let's play it by ear!"
Shui Xiangyun nodded repeatedly and said: Yes, that's exactly what my foster mother meant.
After Zhu Siniang pondered for a while, she answered with a serious face: "Xiangyun, you mother and daughter, please be careful too. If you feel that the situation is not right, you might as well come to live with me."
Shui Xiangyun smiled sincerely and said: Thank you, Lord!I will convey the Lord's kindness to my stepmother.
Then, after they discussed some details of future contact, the boat also arrived at Xiakou Wharf. Therefore, Shui Xiangyun, who had changed his hairpin, took advantage of the confusion when Zhu Siniang and others got off the boat, and left quietly alone. .
At dawn the next day, Lu Zhengying, accompanied by Zhu Yanan, took a blue eagle and flew to Tianxin Valley.
Arrived in the evening of the day.
In Tianxin Valley, the scenery is still the same, but it looks a bit cold and lonely because people go to the empty building.
Even though Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan had only left here for a little over a month, looking back on the present and thinking about the past, they couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.
At present, there is only this pair of young lovers in this huge Tianxin Valley. Although it is not the first time that they have been alone together, it seems that they are the only pair in the whole world like this. , but still the first time.
This should be regarded as a paradise for lovers who are indifferent to fame and wealth.
It's a pity that the current couple is not yet at the age to comprehend this kind of artistic conception. At the same time, Zhu Siniang's time limit for Nai Nu is also very strict, so Zhu Yanan just made a quick tour of the valley and told him to be careful. After that, he immediately returned to his life by riding a vulture.
For an older child who is only eighteen years old and lives alone in a barren mountain and valley, if it was nine months ago, Lu Zhengying would have been panicked and even cried.
But at present, he just mocked himself, smiled bitterly, and lay down on the bench made of ten thousand years of warm jade, with all his clothes on.
He rested his hands on the back of his head, concentrating on the soft pearl light on the top of the cave. After a long, long time, he whispered to himself: I must make good use of these three months, practice hard, and avenge my parents who died Avenge, and make a vigorous career
His eyelids were gradually closed, but he was still muttering to himself: I'm already a little famous, but it was only when I was in Ehugou that I got a little angry, and I've been a coward since then Very well, when I go down the mountain next time, it should be time for me to really feel elated
The voice gradually became low, and it was obvious that he had fallen asleep.
The next morning, when Lu Zhengying got up to wash her face, she was stunned by a strange thing.
原來他此行，本來帶了一個小行囊，內儲換洗衣衫和一些日用品的，可是，當他拿起面巾，準備向溫泉處走去時，突然覺得這行曩的位置，有點不對。
他記得很清楚，自己就寢之前，那行囊是不會解開的，此刻卻分明解開了，而且，顯然是有人翻弄過。
他蹙眉自語道：卻是半晌想不出一個所以然來。
最後，他自我解嘲地笑了笑：一定是自己解開的，要不，就是亞男曾經動過它
在平靜中，過了三天。
在這三天當中，他除了打坐、練劍、以及照顧自己的飲食起居之外，可說是刻板而又單調之至，尤其是只有一個人，閒下來時，連個說話的人也沒有。
但在第四天的早晨，奇事又出現了。
那天當他由溫泉旁回來之後，他的起居室中，居然出現一盤熱騰騰的饅頭，盤子底下，還壓著一張寫著狂草的字條：試試看，是否比你自己做的，味道較佳？
呂正英卻僅僅是最初入目之下，微微一怔之外，旋即自我解嘲地一笑道：小時候聽人說鬼說狐的，我能在這荒山絕谷之中，一瞻鬼狐丰采，倒也算得上是人生一大快事。
說著，伸手取過一個饅頭，咬了一口，道：啊！還是剛出籠的，既香又軟，比區區自己作的，可高明得多啦！
忽然，一個粗冷語聲，哼了一聲道：娃兒好大膽！
語聲粗冷而飄忽，不像是出自活人之口，也不像是武林人物的六合傳音。
呂正英生長於武林世家，他是不信鬼神的，但目前情況，卻不由他不暗中發毛。
但他心中儘管有點驚疑，外表上卻是泰然自若地一笑道：閣下謬獎了！
一頓話鋒之後，又淡笑著接道：區區是無鬼論者，退一步說，縱然閣下是孤魂野鬼、或山精海怪，區區行得穩，坐得正，仰不愧於天，俯不怍於人，又何懼於一個鬼物呢！
那陰冷語聲道：你真的不怕鬼？
呂正英道：我根本不相信有鬼。
那陰冷語聲道：可希望瞻仰我的丰采？
呂正英點點頭道：不錯！
那陰冷語聲道：嚇破了苦膽，可沒法補救的。
呂正英一挑劍眉道：姑且算你是鬼吧！俗語說得好：人有三分怕鬼，鬼有七分怕人，呂正英年紀輕輕，見過的稀奇古怪的事情，可委實不少了，你不妨走出來試試看，究竟是你嚇破了我的苦膽，還是我有本事剝下你的鬼皮來！
那陰冷語聲哈哈一笑道：娃兒的牛皮，是越吹越大了
那陰冷聲音笑後截口道：也許你小子說得是真話，但你我之間，無怨無仇，為免萬一嚇壞了你，我想咱們之間，還是暫不見面為妙。
呂正英冷然接道：既然你也認為你我之間，無怨無仇，那你為何要來打擾我的清修？
打擾你的清修？那陰冷語聲哈哈大笑道：你小子真是大言不慚，你認為，像你這樣清修下去，就能出人頭地嗎？
不等呂正英接腔，又冷笑一聲道：我不妨老實告訴你，憑你目前這點鬼門道，別說三個月之內不會有多大長進，縱然有所長進，而能與那個什麼七殺令主並駕齊驅，甚至於還超過那個怪癖的女人，也不能算是真正的頂尖兒的高手。
呂正英也哈哈一笑道：閣下這小子，可露出狐狸尾巴來了吧！
那陰冷語聲似乎一怔道：你認為，我哪一點說錯了？
呂正英笑道：鬼物也能知道人世間武林中的事情？
陰冷語音哦了一聲道：原來你指的這個。
一頓話鋒之後，又沉聲接道：為什麼不能哩！有道是：生而為英，死而為靈，我生為武林中的絕頂高人，死後，自然也成為陰間的一代靈鬼。
呂正英笑道：靈鬼居然還能作出熱饅頭來，倒也算得上是天下奇聞。
那陰冷語聲道：既然是靈鬼，那自然是無所不能，我不妨老實告訴你，我不但能作出熱饅頭和美味佳餚來，而且還能指出你武功的缺點哩！
呂正英笑了笑道：也許我應該相信你的話，但我仍然希望你能拿出事實來。
OK!那陰冷聲接道：你先將饅頭吃下，然後，我把你這三天來所練的武功招式，演練一遍給你開開眼界。
呂正英笑道：有道是，恭敬不如從命。
說完，將盤中的四個饅頭，風擲殘雪似的，一掃而光。
那陰冷語聲接問道：娃兒，你覺得這熱饅頭，有什麼特別之處嗎？
呂正英道：是的，這裏面，好像還有點千年石菌的味道？
那陰冷語聲道：對了，這饅頭，正是以千年石菌混合著製成的
呂正英截口笑道：這未免有點暴殄天物吧？
那陰冷語聲道：話不能這麼說，千年石菌生吃的功效，固然是優於熟吃，但偶然之間，換換胃口，不也算是蠻有意思嘛！
呂正英唔了一聲道：閣下言之有理。
那陰冷語氣道：好了，現在該我來表演一下了，娃兒，將你的長劍借我一用。
可以，呂正英苦笑道：可是，我不知你閣下人在何處？這枝長劍，可要怎樣才能交到你手中呢？
這好辦得很，娃兒，我要現出身來了，你可得壯壯膽子，莫嚇破了苦膽。
呂正英笑道：閣下儘管顯示身法吧！我自信還不致於如此不中用。
那陰冷語聲道：好！你瞧著！
隨著這話聲，一陣陰風輕拂，就在呂正英身前三丈遠處，就像是地底下冒出來似的，出現一道幽靈似的人影。
在那淡淡珠光的清輝之下，那道人影，隱隱約約，似有若無，僅僅可以約略地分辨出身軀和四肢而已。
此情此景，饒是呂正英勉強鎮靜著沒有變臉色，但暗中禁不住全身發毛，而倒抽一口涼氣。
那奇異的人影，似乎已看出了呂正英心中的秘密，以較溫和的語氣說道：娃兒不用害怕，我雖然是鬼物，但對你而言，卻是有益無害的。
說來也真邪門，這奇異的人影，雖然看起來似有若無，但講起話來，卻與活人沒多大差別，只是語氣較為陰冷而已。
也因為如此，使得呂正英的膽子又壯大了起來，一軒劍眉道：閣下莫將我呂正英看扁了
那奇人影截口笑道：不怕，那是再好不過的了，現在，你將寶劍扔過來吧！
呂正英心頭暗忖道：我倒要看看你這似有若無的怪人如何能接得住我的寶劍
他心思電轉著，一面拔出自己的青鋼長劍，扔了過去道：接劍！
寒芒一閃，青鋼長劍居然被那奇異的人影接住了。
只聽他發出一串乾笑，揮舞了一下手中長劍之後，才沉聲問道：娃兒，你所練的劍法，是否名為靈蛇劍法？
呂正英點點頭道：不錯。閣下是怎會知道的？
那奇異人影接道：這有什麼稀奇，因為我是一個靈鬼呀！
呂正英苦笑道：好啦！我不同你扯了，還是快點表演你的絕藝吧！
那奇異人影道：好！那麼，你看清楚了
接著，他拉開架勢，將呂正英所練的靈蛇劍法，一招一式的演練起來。
對於這一套由劫餘生所創的靈蛇劍法，在起初的八個月中，呂正英僅僅學得其中的一部分，由於以後情況的演變，朱四娘才決定將自己的全部武學，傾囊相授，也因為這原因，呂正英對於整套靈蛇劍法，除了原先學會的一小部分，已算是得心應手之外，其餘卻是還在初學階段，自然顯得很生疏。
但目前這奇異的人影，對這套靈蛇劍法的熟練，卻使呂正英看得目瞪口呆。
一直等對方全部練完之後，才禁不住脫口讚道：閣下對這套劍法的熟練程度，比起我們的令主來，可只強不差呀！
那奇異人影道：你說的可能是實情，但這種話，只能在這兒說話，如果給朱四娘聽到了，她會發脾氣的。
呂正英訕然一笑道：這情形，我知道。
那奇異人影忽然嘆了一聲道：說來你娃兒可能不相信，目前這套劍法，已經算不了什麼蓋世絕藝了。
呂正英一怔道：難道閣下還有更高明的劍法？
那奇異人影道：可以這麼說，你注意看看。
接著，他又使出一套更玄妙的劍法來。
在呂正英的默察之下，如果以自己的靈蛇劍法來與這套神奇劍法對抗，不但沒法進攻，連防守也有問題。
因此，當對方的劍法使完之後，呂正英禁不住脫口長嘆道：這才真算是曠代絕藝，今宵，小可算是大開眼界了。
那奇異人形忽然長嘆一聲道：你娃兒真是少見多怪。
呂正英一怔道：怎麼？難道當代武林中，還有比這更高明的劍法？
那奇異人影點點頭道：不錯。
呂正英卻苦笑道：其實，小可只要能學到這套劍法，也就心滿意足的了。
那奇異人影道：這套劍法，我會傳給你的，但你必須先將整套靈蛇劍法練好，因為我這套劍法，就是根據靈蛇劍法的缺點，加以改進後濃縮成，你練成了整套靈蛇劍法之後，研練這套劍法時，才能收事半功倍之效。同時，我也要趁你練習靈蛇劍法的這段時間，將這一套劍法，再加以改進。
呂正英連連點首道：好、好，我會一切聽從你的安排。
呂正英話也客氣得多了，而且，緊接著並注目問道：我可以請教您的姓氏嗎？
那奇異人影笑道：既已成為鬼物，過去的姓氏，不談也罷。
呂正英蹙眉接道：那以後，我該怎樣稱呼您呢？
那奇異人影笑了笑道：我是鬼物，也該算是你的前輩，我看，你就叫我鬼前輩吧！
呂正英苦笑道：鬼前輩？這名稱倒是新鮮得很。
那奇異人影道：從現在起，只要你肯用功、聽話，我這個鬼前輩生平所學，一定傾囊相授。
呂正英正容說道：多謝鬼前輩！小可這廂有禮了
說著，一整衣衫，即待拜將下去。
那奇異人影連連搖手道：不行、不行，我活著的時候，都不作興這一套。現在論為鬼物，哪還有心情講究這些人間的俗禮。
呂正英始終不相信對方是鬼，因而心頭一動，含笑說道：那麼恭敬不如從命，小可就不行大禮了
As it should be.那奇異人影接道：這才是聽話的乖孩子。
呂正英接問道：鬼前輩，小可有一個問題不知該不該問？
那奇異人影笑道：小鬼頭別動什麼小心眼兒，有話就直截了當地問。
那麼，小可就放肆了。呂正英向著對方扮了一個鬼臉，道：鬼前輩，你還認為自己是鬼？
那奇異人影道：這無所謂認為，我本來就是鬼嘛！
呂正英道：據小可所知，鬼是不敢白天出來的。
那奇異人影笑道：因為我是靈鬼，自當例外，何況，這石洞中不見天日，永遠都是黑夜，自然便於鬼物活動呀！
呂正英苦笑道：好！這問題，我不同您抬槓了。
那奇異人影唔了一聲道：這才不愧是一個聰明的娃兒。
呂正英忽有所憶地注目問道：鬼前輩，方才，您說，當代武林，還有比您劍法更高明的人嗎？
那奇異人點首接道：不錯。
呂正英注目問道：那是誰呢？
那奇異人影道：目前，你不必知道得太多，以免影響用功，至於其他的一切，以後，你會慢慢知道的。
呂正英點點頭，那奇異人影又立即接道：現在，我也該開始作早課了。
呂正英連忙接道：如果我要向您請教什麼時，如何找您呢？
那奇異人影道：在我正式傳你武功之前，你毋須找我，如有必要，只要在這兒揚聲大叫三聲鬼前輩，我就會很快出現在你眼前。
一頓話鋒之後，又立即接道：對了再見！
呂正英但覺眼前一花，那奇異人影，已消失不見，而他那枝青鋼長劍，卻是好端端地，插在地面上，而且還在抖動著。
呂正英有如從夢境中醒過來似的，揉揉眼睛，喃喃自語道：世間稀奇古怪的事情，都給我碰上了
呂正英在天心谷中的進境，是非常驚人的。
由於他自己肯用功，加上千年石菌，和所睡萬年溫玉等天材地寶的輔助，再加上那位鬼前輩的暗中指點，所以，不論是內家真力，和劍招掌法方面，都說得上是在一日千里的長進中。
同時，由於經常與那鬼前輩接近之故，人鬼之間的感情，也無形中建立起來。
不過，他們人鬼之間的感情，雖然建立起來，但那位鬼前輩對他自己的一切，還是那麼諱莫如深。使呂正英所知道的，仍然不過是一個既神秘、又奇異的模糊人影而已。
那位鬼前輩替呂正英所安排的功課，是非常緊湊而繁重的，使得呂正英除了全心全力，加緊研練武功之外，決不會有多餘的時間，讓他去想別的問題。
那位鬼前輩一再地提醒他說：三個月的時間，實在太短促了，如果你要浪費了一時半刻的，將來你會後悔不及的。
在繁忙的生活中，是不會覺得日子過得慢的。
彈指間，已是兩個月過去，到了數九寒天的臘月初旬。
在這兩個月中，呂正英自己也弄不清楚，他的武功，究竟已精進到什麼程度。
唯一能自己覺察出來的，是他已沒有寒暑的感覺。
不論是溫暖如春的石洞之內，或者是目前洞外那大雪紛飛，北風呼嘯著的冰天雪地之中，他的身上始終是一襲白儒衫。
這種寒暑不侵的境界，普通武林中人，縱然是一甲子以上的勤修苦練，也未必能辦得到，而呂正英卻於短短不及一年的時間，不！嚴格說來，應該算是兩個月的時間，就完成了。
眼看自己已逐漸進入當代武林中，頂尖兒高手的行列，呂正英內心的這一份欣喜，是不難想見。這天早晨，那位鬼前輩給他安排好七天的功課之後，不禁輕嘆一聲道：娃兒，大致說來，我所會的，比較拿手的玩意，全都掏出來了，這七天功課，是我壓箱底的玩藝，你練好之後，也該是你啟關下山的時候了。
呂正英禁不住笑問道：鬼前輩，您呢？
I?那奇異人影笑道：我怎樣啊？
呂正英注目問道：正英是說，您，是否也要下山了？
那奇異人影道：是的，我也要下山，而且是馬上就走。
呂正英一怔道：馬上就走？Why?
那奇異人影笑道：鬼有鬼的天地，也有鬼的事務，為了成全你這小子，我已耽擱太多的事情，如今，我壓箱底的本領都掏了出來，交給你了，還要我留在這兒幹嗎呀？
呂正英有點撒嬌似的接道：鬼前輩，再在這兒陪我幾天嘛！
不行，我必須要走了。那奇異人影輕嘆一聲之後，才沉聲說道：娃兒，天下無不散的筵席的，你我人鬼殊途，我又怎能老是陪著你哩！
So.呂正英有點神色黯然地道：我們幾時再見呢？
那奇異人影道：以後，可不能一叫我，就能在你身邊出現了。不過，只要時間許可，我一定會主動前來看你的。
呂正英嘴唇牽動了一下，卻是欲言又止。
那奇異人卻又接問道：我前前後後同你所說過的話，你還記得嗎？
呂正英點點頭道：都記得。
那奇異人影道：記得就好，我走了。
他倒說走就走，話落人杳，只撇下呂正英獨個兒在發愣。
是的，對呂正英而言，這位奇異的鬼前輩，對他影響太大了。
呂正英是感情豐富的熱血青年，儘管他還不知道對方究竟是人還是鬼，但相處兩個月，自己又受過對方太多的好處，如今，竟然突然就走了，因而他愣得一愣之後，卻是沒來由地發出一聲幽幽長嘆，臉上也是一片黯然神傷的神色。
就當他心頭感慨萬千，木愣出神之
