Chapter 8 chapter eight

Shen Zongyi sighed: "Although I didn't kill Boren, Boren died by me. In order to help me, Nanny Bai suffered a tragic disaster and lived until the end of her life. How can Shen Zongyi feel at ease?" Wu Tiancai also frowned and said: "Snake head arrows and white tiger nails are common hidden weapons, and they are used by many people. We can't investigate the murderer based on these known conditions!" Yue Qianqian said with tears in her eyes: Mother Bai suffered a tragic death, her grievances have been settled, and the long journey westward for thousands of miles seems to be full of dangers, but she asked me to be alone.

At this point in the conversation, Wu Tiancai continued: Don't worry, Miss Yue. Regarding your safety, not only brother Shen Zongyi is obliged, but even I, Wu Tiancai, are willing to do my best. Maybe along the way, the murderer reappears. Where is Nanny Bai's revenge? Although Shen Zongyi felt that protecting Yue Qianqian was a very heavy burden, but since Nanny Bai died tragically because she wanted to help herself, it was just as Wu Tiancai said it was her duty to do so, so she looked at Yue Qianqian and asked: Miss Yue, are you heading west? Thousands of miles, where do you want to go?

Yue Qianqian said: "Bai Shui Town" The word "Bai Shui Town" made Shen Zongyi and Wu Tiancai startled when they heard it?They didn't expect such a coincidence in the world, Shen Zongyi was going to Baishui Town, Wu Tiancai was going to Baishui Town, and Yue Qianqian was also going to Baishui Town?Shen Zongyi went to Baishui Town to kill someone, Wu Tiancai went to Baishui Town to save someone, what did Yue Qianqian go to Baishui Town for? In extreme surprise, Shen Zongyi frowned at Yue Qianqian and asked, "Miss Yue, please forgive Shen Zongyi's shallow words. What are you going to Baishui Town for?"

Yue Qianqian glanced at Shen Zongyi with complex gazes of resentment, admiration and other emotions, raised her hand and brushed the cloud hair slightly, and said slowly: "I am visiting relatives." Explained: I was fostered in my aunt's house since I was a child. This time, when my aunt traveled far away in the desert, I was escorted by Nanny Bai to go home to visit my father. Wu Tiancai said with an oh: So Miss Yue lives in Baishui Town, unlike Brother Shen Zongyi and I, who are visiting Baishui Town. Yue Qianqian seemed unable to bear Wu Tiancai's mouthful of garlic, so she avoided it a little bit, and saw the corners of Shen Zongyi's mouth twitching, as if he was about to speak, so she turned her face to Shen Zongyi and asked, "Brother Shen, what do you seem to have?" Why don't you just say it outright?

Shen Zongyi said: Miss Qian must have many brothers and sisters Yue Qianqian shook her head and said: "Brother Shen, you guessed wrong. My mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me for the first time, so I am an only daughter. I have nothing else to say, so I already understood what Zong Yi asked, Xiumei." Yi Yang asked attentively: "Brother Shen, do you find it a bit strange that I have no brothers and sisters and have been fostered in my aunt's house since I was a child?" Although Shen Zongyi felt that Yue Qianqian's father would let such a delicate flower-like only daughter be fostered elsewhere, it seemed unreasonable?But because this is a private matter, and friendship is a first-time friendship, we should not ask in depth, so I just smiled.

Unexpectedly, even though he didn't ask, Yue Qianqian also revealed it on her own. She glanced at the two of them and said: "This matter sounds a little unreasonable, but since my father wandered around the world in his early years and had no fixed place, it was very inconvenient for him to take me with him." Second, I was terminally ill, and it was extremely difficult to live to the age of sixteen. It was not my aunt's exquisite medical skills, and I recuperated it myself day and night, so it was impossible to cure it. Shen Zongyi was surprised and said: Miss Yue, you are now

Yue Qianqian smiled and said, "I am eighteen and a half years old now. After that critical moment, I will recover from my terminal illness sooner. Otherwise, how can my aunt be at ease ordering Mother Bai to accompany me back to Baishui Town to visit my relatives, while her old man went away by herself?" the desert While Yue Qianqian was speaking, Shen Zongyi's handsome eyes were fixed on her peerless dimple, not for a moment. Yue Qianqian was ashamed and happy when he looked at her, she lowered her head slightly, and asked in a low voice: Brother Shen, why do you look at me like this, could it be that you are also proficient in Qihuang technique?

Shen Zongyi picked up the teapot from the table, poured a cup by himself, and replied: I have indeed studied the Qihuang technique intensively, and I heard Miss Yue's words just now, and I feel that only those who inherit the six yin and ghost veins from birth will never live beyond ten years. six years old Yue Qianqian nodded and said: "Brother Shen is really a learned man, and Yue Qianqian is just born with the constitution of Liuyin ghost veins!" Wu Tiancai arched his hands to Shen Zongyi, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, my younger brother has a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, and I have read a lot, but I am a complete layman when it comes to Qi and Huang. Is it right to ask about the six Yin ghost veins?"

Shen Zongyi didn't wait for Wu Tiancai to ask further questions, she frowned slightly and said, "There seems to be something difficult about the beginning of the pulse of the Six Yin Ghosts so far, so I suddenly stopped. Yue Qianqian smiled and said: "Brother Shen, there is no need to have any scruples, even if you speak bluntly Shen Zongyi drank another half cup of tea, glanced at Yue Qianqian, and said slowly: "Anyone who has taken too much Yin-cold medicine and has practiced some kind of strange poisonous power will often give birth to a first-born child who has the uniqueness of the six Yins." The unique physique of the veins, people with this physique are extremely intelligent, beautiful in appearance, no matter whether they study literature or martial arts, they are all excellent talents with a photographic memory, but when they approach the age of sixteen, they will definitely become extremely intelligent, Turned into an ignorant idiot, festered and had sores all over his body, turned into an extremely ugly person, and died

Wu Tiancai felt a little creepy when he heard this, and glanced at Yue Qianqian twice. Yue Qianqian laughed and said: "Brother Wu, you don't need to read it. I have been treated by my aunt with excellent medical skills and various rare medicines. For more than ten years, I have changed the six Yin ghost veins and escaped this calamity. You see, since I am sane , I didn't become an idiot, and I certainly wouldn't turn into an ugly monster with sores and ulcers all over his body as terrible as what Brother Shen said! Shen Zongyi focused on Yue Qianqian and said: "Auntie can change the physique of the six yin and ghost veins, and her medical skills must be the best in the world. Shen Zongyi thought about Haiyu all over, and only one person was found.

Yue Qianqian shook her hand, cut off Shen Zongyi's words, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, don't guess who my aunt is, we should study the current matter first Shen Zongyi asked: Miss Yue's words mean Yue Qianqian said: "My trip to Baishui Town to save my father must not stop halfway. From now on, I will travel alone, or Wu Tiancai didn't wait for Yue Qianqian to continue, so he smiled and said: "Miss Yue, don't worry, about protecting your safety on your journey westward for thousands of miles, brother Shen Zongyi and I are also going to Baishui Town, so we just happen to be on the way, so naturally we have a duty to do so!" Yue Qianqian glanced at the coffin in the courtyard, frowned slightly and said, "What about the coffin for Nanny Bai?"Is it going west with you?Or should I stay here temporarily, and after arriving in Baishui Town, my father will send people to welcome Yi back and put him in a good coffin before burying him? Shen Zongyi said: "Brother Wu Tiancai and I have no disagreement, this matter is for Miss Yue to decide on her own." Yue Qianqian sighed and said: "Both of you are benevolent and courageous heroes, so naturally there will be no excuses, but it is very inconvenient to carry the coffin together, so I have to force the dead mother Bai to take her old man's body away." , temporarily housed here in Zhumaji Wu Tiancai said: "Okay, stopping in the coffin courtyard will easily disturb other travelers. Now that Miss Yue has made this decision, Wu Tiancai went to instruct the store staff to find a place to temporarily house Bai Nanny's coffin. Brother Shen, let's talk for a while.After finishing speaking, he got up and walked out of the upper room to deal with the matter of the coffin of Nanny Bai in the temporary house. Yue Qianqian recruited the shop assistant and asked him to prepare some exquisite wine and dishes and deliver them to the upper room. Shen Zongyi said: Miss Yue Yue Qianqian waved her hands and smiled: Brother Shen, you and Wu Tiancai are dressed in dust and dust. If it's a small matter of dinner and wine, it's too out of place to be polite again! When Shen Zongyi heard what she said, she stopped humbly and ordered the shop assistant to bring another plate of garlic cloves.With a plate of hot peppers, she said to Yue Qianqian with a smile: "Since Miss Yue invites brother Wu Tiantian to drink, you should prepare garlic cloves and peppers, because brother Wu is addicted to these two things like life." Yue Qianqian frowned, and smiled sweetly: "Brother Wu Tiancai is as his name suggests, full of geniuses, but his filthy body and the smell of garlic in his mouth make people feel a little bit afraid, but Yue Qianqian Smile and shut up, won't say it. She stood up, walked to a small jade stove by the window, took out an incense box from her bosom, poured a little incense powder into the stove, lit the fire, and immediately the upper room was filled with a mesmerizing atmosphere. Refreshing light aroma. Shen Zongyi realized that Yue Qianqian planned to use this fragrance to restrain the garlic smell on Wu Tiancai's body, so she almost laughed? Yue Qianqian lighted Miaoxiang, walked back to her seat, poured a cup of coffee table for Shen Zongyi, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, in the Qiandian tavern, I heard by chance that you went to Baishui Town this time to venge Resentment, seeking to kill someone? Shen Zongyi nodded and said: Yes, Miss Yue thinks I'm a bit boring and superficial? Yue Qianqian smiled and said: "This is not boring, nor is it superficial. Whether it is worth it or not depends on the nature of the enmity. After a slight pause, she poured a cup of tea for herself and continued: "For example, Bai Nao and I, go hand in hand. For many years, love is like a mother and daughter, if I meet the evil thieves who murdered her old man, I will kill her and avenge Bai Nanny! Shen Zongyi nodded and said: Miss Yue is right, the hatred in my heart is much deeper than yours! Because the wine and food hadn't arrived yet, Yue Qianqian raised her cup to Shen Zongyi with tea instead of wine. tell me? Shen Zongyi was taken aback for a moment, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, as if he was about to speak? Yue Qianqian said with a smile: "My father was born in Baishui Town, so he is naturally familiar with the local personnel and affairs, so he can help Brother Shen find his vengeance, so that you don't have to worry about it." Shen Zongyi smiled wryly and said: Miss Yue's kindness, I am very grateful, but now I don't know anything except Baishui Town. I will not know the name and address of the Chou family until I get the second notification when I get to the land. Yue Qianqian frowned slightly, a pair of wonderful eyes flashed a strange look Shen Zongyi smiled wryly and said: Miss Yue, don't blame me for dodging, please believe that Shen Zongyi has never lied in her life At this time, the store clerk had obeyed Yue Qianqian's order, and brought a jar of good wine, some exquisite side dishes, and specially prepared chili and garlic cloves for Wu Tiancai.The food and drink had just been set up, and Wu Tiancai had already finished arranging and ordering the coffin of Nanny Bai in the temporary house.He walked into the upper room, saw the food and wine on the table, and chili and garlic cloves, then raised his eyebrows and laughed wildly: "Brother Shen, you have not forgotten my peculiar hobby. Come, come, let's have a drink first, and then Wu Tian will show you something strange." After finishing speaking, he poured two cups, picked some chili and garlic cloves, and chewed them in his mouth, as if the fragrance of the jade furnace burning in front of the window had weakened a bit. Shen Zongyi looked at Wu Tiancai with a strange expression, frowned and asked in surprise, "Brother Wu, what strange thing are you going to show me?" Wu Tiancai said: "There is a life-threatening talisman pasted on the door of the east wing room that we originally decided to live in, but if we didn't live in it!" Yue Qianqian was surprised and said: "A reminder for life?"This name is quite scary, what is it?Whose life do you want to chase? Wu Tiancai smiled without answering, just took out a yellow note from his bosom, and showed it to Shen Zongyi and Yue Qianqian.The yellow note, besides the horror talisman drawn with a Chinese ink brush, also has seven characters, which read: Shen Zongyi can hardly see the light of the fifth watch! Shen Zongyi had already experienced many such situations along the way, knew that there was indeed a vicious organization, and kept secretly dispatching experts to deal with him, so after seeing this life-threatening talisman drawn with a red pen and yellow paper, the corners of his mouth were slightly twitched, Put it into a smile. But when Yue Qianqian saw it, she was so angry that her cheeks were livid, and she shouted angrily: "It's too much, these monsters are really deceiving people too much!"Brother Shen, have you ever found out who is hosting these obscene and vicious activities? Shen Zongyi smiled wryly and said: I was just eager to find out who was behind the scenes, but the other party's control methods are quite strict and vicious. Several times in a row, I lost the opportunity. Yue Qianqian said: I have never been in the rivers and lakes, and I am unfamiliar with these ways, but when I arrive in Baishui Town, I must find my father and help Brother Shen to investigate this matter Wu Tiancai glanced at her and said with a smile: Miss Yue, is your father Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Zongyi suddenly raised her eyebrows to Wu Tiancai and asked, "Brother Wu, you were directing the store outside just now, and temporarily housed the coffin of Nanny Bai. Have you ever paid attention to the skylight? What time is it now?" Wu Tiancai said: When we returned to the store, it was already late at night, and now it is the fourth watch. Shen Zongyi raised her eyebrows, stood up from the table, clasped her fists at Yue Qianqian and said: Miss Yue, Shen Zongyi will leave Yue Qianqian snorted, fixed her eyes on Shen Zongyi, and asked in surprise: "Brother Shen, we are preparing the food and wine for the evening drink, why are you?" Shen Zongyi pointed to the reminder talisman on the table, his eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "On this so-called reminder talisman, it is said that Shen Zongyi is hard to see the light of the fifth watch, and now it is the fourth watch, so there must be some vicious conspiracy immediately. It's about to start, I want to go back to my room to accept the other party's challenge, so as not to frighten Miss Yue needlessly here! Yue Qianqian shook her head and said: Brother Shen, why do you say that?Yue Qianqian is not a weak and ordinary woman. Although I have not entered the rivers and lakes, I am afraid and even frightened when I am familiar with martial arts. Since you have generously promised to protect me, then when this evil is coming, do you feel relieved to leave and let me be alone?Her last sentence stunned Shen Zongyi's question? Wu Tiancai also said with a smile to Shen Zongyi: "Brother Shen, we don't have to go back to the house, we'll just have a long drink here, and after we see Wu Gengguang, please ask Miss Yue to pack up, leave this Zhumaji, and go on the road together?" Shen Zongyi thought for a while, and said slowly to Yue Qianqian with a caring and sincere look: Miss Yue, it doesn't matter if we are here to accompany you, but in terms of your actions, you must Yue Qianqian Bingxue was smart and responsive, and said with a coquettish smile, "Brother Shen, don't worry, you just give orders."I must be obedient and obedient, and I will never run around! Shen Zongyi said: "Alright, Miss Yue, please exchange seats with me." Yue Qianqian originally had her back to the door and was sitting closest to the window. Knowing that Shen Zongyi's change of position was for her safety, she cast a grateful look and stood up gracefully.Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gordon's cracking spring sounded from the courtyard outside the window, followed by seven or eight extremely thin cold lights, shooting in through the broken window! Wu Tiancai shouted: This is an incomparably domineering seven-hole wasp needle. Brother Shen and Miss Yue flashed him while talking spontaneously, while he swung his right palm, sending out a very majestic palm wind, piercing the air from side to side. Hit away, trying to rescue Shen Zongyi and Yue Qianqian from the flying needle! Because Shen Zongyi had already stood up, she was about to exchange seats with Yue Qianqian, but when she realized that the situation was not good, Yue Qianqian was fine, but this graceful standing up happened to be her own shield, so she hurriedly used his superior lightness kung fu five elements shifting With a body movement, the left arm was stretched out, and it was wrapped around Yue Qianqian's slender waist, and the two of them dodged sideways together.Because Shen Zongyi dodged so fast, and Wu Tiancai blocked it from the side, it should have been easy to escape this disaster, but the fact is not the case. Because what came in through the broken window was the seven-hole wasp needle fired by the force of the spring of the machine, not an ordinary hidden weapon! The force of this kind of collapsing spring is extremely strong, even though Wu Tiancai tried his best to intercept it from the side, but where the force of the palm wind passed, he could only miss the seven flying needles slightly. Cut fiercely and dodge quickly, Yue Qianqian, whose entire back was shrouded in light and rain, still received an injection. It wasn't that she was wearing some kind of martial arts clothes that could guard against swords and hidden weapons, but that there was an extra life-saving meat stick between her waist and back.The so-called life-saving meat stick is Shen Zongyi's left arm that is in a hurry and hugs her. When Yue Qianqian dodged, she felt a shock in her body, but she didn't feel the slightest pain. She only heard Shen Zongyi snort very low from her nose! Then there was ding ding, ding ding, ding ding, a series of flying needles made a crisp sound! Wu Tiantian has a good sense of hearing, his eyebrows gathered together, his eyes were on Shen Zongyi and he asked anxiously: "Why does the seven-hole wasp needle only ring six times?"Brother Shen, could it be that Miss Yue has already been shot in the back? Yue Qianqian said: "Brother Wu, don't worry, I seem to have been lucky before I finished my sentence, and my face has changed color, because she has now seen that Shen Zongyi's expression is wrong, and silently withdraws the left arm that was around her waist just now, outside the sleeve near the elbow. , exposing the shiny inch needle tail!The length of this kind of flying needle is about three inches and seven or eight inches, but now only an inch or so is left, and it is obvious that it has penetrated into the flesh to a depth of more than two inches. Yue Qianqian let out a scream, looked at Shen Zongyi with infinite concern and asked anxiously: "Brother Shen, are you hurt?"Is this seven-hole wasp needle poisonous? Wu Tiancai frowned and said, "Miss Yue, brother Shen is lucky to stop Tongxin Blood Vessel, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to speak." Shen Zongyi stretched out her hand to touch her weak fingers on her left shoulder and armpit, and then smiled wryly at Yue Qianqian: "The muscles and bones are not hurt, and this needle just goes through the thick flesh!" Yue Qianqian clapped her hands together and said: Thank God Shen Zongyi smiled wryly and said: That life-chasing talisman is really powerful, I, Shen Zongyi, really can't see the light of day! Yue Qianqian said in amazement: "Is the needle poisonous?" Shen Zongyi sighed: "The green bamboo snake's mouth, the needle on the tail of the wasp is the most poisonous thing. This needle is called the seven-hole wasp needle. In addition to being extremely powerful, it is also naturally fed with a powerful poison!"At this point, a cold ban was imposed suddenly, and it seemed that people were exhausted. Yue Qianqian didn't wait for Wu Tiancai to make a move, she already moved her fingers like the wind, and even tapped three extremely important acupoints on Shen Zongyi's chest and ribs With a groan, Shen Zongyi immediately fainted and leaned on Yue Qianqian's shoulder.Wu Tiancai saw that Yue Qianqian was not malicious, so he did not stop her.Yue Qianqian helped Shen Zongyi, and said to Wu Tiancai with a heavy face, "Brother Wu, please carry Brother Shen to the bed, but be careful, don't touch that seven-hole wasp needle, causing him to penetrate further into the flesh." Wu Tiancai did as he said, Yue Qianqian quietly walked to the window to look out, but the courtyard was completely silent, was there anyone there? Wu Tiancai let Shen Zongyi go. Seeing Yue Qianqian's actions, he smiled wryly and shouted: "Miss Yue, the person who comes here only uses back arrows to injure people. It can be seen that he must be a vulgar rat. Most rats have no courage. He dared to stay there for a while. He has already escaped by now." up. Yue Qianqian walked to the bed, sighed to Wu Tiancai, shook her head and said: "Ghosts in the Jianghu are really too scary. If brother Shen's arm hadn't been used as a shield just now, wouldn't I, Yue Qianqian, have died under the seven-hole wasp needle?" Wu Tiancai said: Miss Yue is blessed with great fortune, it's okay to be happy, but brother Shen is afraid to say this, his face is full of worry and anxiety, obviously, he is powerless to detoxify Shen Zongyi's poison needle injury. Yue Qianqian shook her hand and said: "Brother Wu, don't worry, brother Shen's life will be safe!" Wu Tiancai's eyes lit up, he looked at Yue Qianqian, and asked with raised eyebrows: "Miss Yue, you are also proficient in Qihuang medicine, can you conjure up the soul for Brother Shen?" Yue Qianqian shook her head and said: "I'm not relying on medical skills, but relying on the power of the medicine." While talking, I reached into my bosom and took out a vermilion wax pill about the size of a longan. pinch broken.A strange fragrance immediately permeated the whole room. Wu Tiancai praised: "It smells so good, what kind of rare panacea is this?" Yue Qianqian said: "This is a life-saving elixir given by my master. It is said to be able to cure all kinds of poisons and serious injuries. It is enough to help me survive a catastrophe of life and death. Brother Shen is dying, so I have to give this elixir first. He took it! Wu Tiancai quickly poured a bowl of warm water, Yue Qianqian first unlocked the acupuncture points for Shen Zongyi, fed him the elixir, and then lightly flicked on the Heitian sleeping acupuncture point! This time, Wu Tiancai saw it clearly, and said with a snort: "Miss Yue, you are using the orchid brush point hand. Could it be that the art came from the sect of Fairy Jiuwan from Youlan Valley in Xianxia Ridge?" Yue Qianqian cast a appreciative glance at Wu Tiancai, nodded and smiled and said: "Brother Wu is really knowledgeable. In today's martial arts world, there are not many people who know the name of their master and can recognize Lanhua Fuxue." Woolen cloth Wu Tiancai said: "Since Miss Yue is under the sect of Fairy Jiuwan, what Brother Shen just accepted must be the Nine-Turn Life-Surviving Pill made by the Master with the Nine-Wan Immortal Lanbao and other eight-flavored rare holy medicines?" Yue Qianqian said: Not bad Wu Tiancai sighed: "Brother Shen is righteous and courageous, and it will be rewarded with good things. He has taken the Nine-Turn Life-Continuing Pill, which not only eliminates the poison, but also helps in the internal energy. Yue Qianqian nodded and said: Brother Wu is right!That's why I brushed brother Shen's black sweet sleeping point just now, just to make him sleep for a while, so as not to make any words or actions affect the efficacy of the medicine!The words paused, he sighed faintly, shook his head, and said to Wu Tiancai: But if I got the needle in the lower back just now, my vitals would be attacked and I would die immediately. ! Wu Tiancai said: Now the medicinal power of the Nine-Turn Life-Extending Pill must have been released, can you take that seven-hole wasp needle on the left arm for Brother Shen, right? Yue Qianqian nodded and said: "It should be fine, let Brother Wu do the injection for him?"I'm still here Wu Tiancai is very talented, and he said to Yue Qianqian with a smile: "As the saying goes: if one guest doesn't bother the second master, it's better for Miss Yue to do it. First, girls are more careful and careful, and they are considerate. So that brother Shen Zongyi can fully remember the life-saving grace this time on Miss Yue's head. Yue Qianqian cast a grateful look at Wu Tiancai, and sighed quietly: This time, he saved my life in the seven-hole wasp needle disaster?Or did I save his life?like a confused account Wu Tiancai smiled and said: "Don't be confused, don't be confused, this account is clear and easy to calculate. It was Brother Shen who saved Miss Yue's life first, and you reported to Qiong Yao later. Owning a favor to the other party is an excellent foundation for building a relationship with each other! Yue Qianqian was originally extremely generous, but now she couldn't help her ears getting slightly hot and her jade cheeks turning red. Wu Tiancai said seriously, "Miss Yue, Brother Shen seems to be a sad person. He has suffered some serious blows. In terms of emotions, he is inevitably unstable and sometimes a little extreme. If you want to be friends with him, you should be in various places." Do you try to be patient and accommodating? Yue Qianqian nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu, for your guidance. I understand this truth. Now she thinks Wu Tiantian is quite sensible, pleasant, and has a good impression. It seems that even the smell of garlic when he speaks has been weakened a lot!" Wu Tiancai took out a small white jade bottle from his bosom, handed it to Yue Qianqian and said: "This is the top-grade ice lotus powder. It can remove poison and easily grow muscles. After taking out the seven-hole hornet needle, Miss Yue applied it on for Brother Shen." up some. Yue Qianqian took the white jade vial and rolled up the sleeve of Shen Zongyi's left arm, only to see a walnut-sized lump swelled at the middle needle, which had turned purple-black.She was about to reach out to pull out the needles, when she suddenly remembered something, and called to Wu Tiantian: Brother Wu, please go and inspect those seven-hole wasp needles stuck on the wall, to see if there are any barbs at the tip of the needles?This is the girl's house. If there is a barb cast on the tip of the needle, if the needle is pulled out suddenly, there will be a whole mass of flesh and blood, which will make Shen Zongyi suffer more! Wu Tiancai walked by as he said, and after inspecting two or three seven-hole wasp needles, he turned his head and said to Yue Qianqian with a smile: Miss Yue, please feel free to start the injection for Brother Shen, it may be because the poison has been quenched, the seven-hole wasp needles are not Not cast with barbs. Yue Qianqian heard what Wu Tiancai said, so she stopped at the end of the seven-hole wasp needle, and pulled it out forcefully.Since there is no barb on the needle body, after being pulled out forcefully, the needle rises up, but a stream of black blood spurts out from the wound for about a foot, making one smell a fishy smell.Although Shen Zongyi was tapped at Heitian acupoint and was in a sound sleep, the muscles in his left arm still trembled instinctively. Yue Qianqian focused her eyes on the wound on Shen Zongyi's left arm, frowned and said, "The flesh of his wound has already turned black, do you want to cut some off?" Wu Tiantian said: "This kind of poisoned flesh is harmful if it stays in the body. Of course it should be dug out." Up to this point, he has taken out a small jade knife and handed it to Yue Qianqian: "Miss Yue dig it for him. When you see red flesh and blood, please immediately." Stop, and sprinkle the ice lotus powder on the wound for brother Shen. Yue Qianqian took the jade knife, compared it twice, and still handed it back to Wu Tiancai, stood up, smiled wryly: "Brother Wu, it's up to you, I really can't do anything to him!" Wu Tiancai took the knife and sat down to the bedside and struck very quickly, digging three times and two times, the blackened flesh of Shen Zongyi's wound was gone, and red blood flowed out! Wu Tiancai put down the jade knife, quickly poured out half a bottle of his precious wound medicine Bingliansan, applied it to the wound, and helped Shen Zongyi to stop bleeding and grow muscles. This kind of rare elixir is refined, so it is very effective. Once it is applied to the wound, it can stop the bleeding immediately. Wu Tiancai examined Shen Zongyi's pulse carefully again, and knew that the Nine-Turn Life-Continuing Pill was very effective. Now Shen Zongyi's body is not only free of strange poisons, but also filled with true energy, it is obvious that it has benefited a lot! Seeing that he was taking Shen Zongyi's pulse, Yue Qianqian asked with a concerned look: "Brother Wu, the Nine-turn Life-Extending Pill my master gave should be effective. Has Brother Shen saved his life now?" Wu Tiancai smiled and said: "Miss Yue, don't worry, brother Shen Zongyi has been blessed by misfortune, and now his body is full of qi and internal energy. We don't need to wake him up for the time being, let him sleep well!"After finishing speaking, he took the remaining ice lotus powder back to his bosom and hid it. Yue Qianqian sighed: "During this journey, there are too many inexplicable things. Some people want to harm Brother Shen, while others avoid Brother Shen. The situation of Brother Wu is also like this. Up to this point, the voice is suddenly interrupted. On top of that, it seems that what is going to happen again? In Wu Tiancai's eyes, there was a sharp glow, staring out of the window, and he said coldly: "Who is in the courtyard?"Please be brighter, don't be so sneaky, too obscene! The courtyard immediately had an answer, but the answer was not human words, but the sound of a swishing hidden weapon!But the hidden weapon, although it also swished in through the window, did not hit anyone, it was nailed tremblingly to a wooden pillar in the room with a loud bang. It was a high-quality hidden weapon, an iron-bronze arrow that could not be used due to the lack of internal strength, but on the tail of the arrow, there was a piece of paper wrapped around it. Wu Tiancai looked at the courtyard first, and saw that the person had already left, so he lowered the iron and copper arrow, and looked at the paper on the end of the arrow. Yue Qianqian frowned, focused on Wu Tiancai, and asked him: Brother Wu, what did you write on the note?Is it for you, or a reminder for me? Wu Tiancai shook his head and said: There are so many strange things, this note is not a reminder, but a letter of apology dedicated to Miss Yue. Yue Qianqian said in astonishment: An apology letter for me? Wu Tiancai handed over the note in his hand, and said to Yue Qianqian with a smile: Miss Yue, please look, the word "Fang Jia" on this note must refer to you. Brother Shen Zongyi and I cannot bear it! Yue Qianqian took a look, only to see that the handwriting on the note was written with burnt wood temporarily.Therefore, the thickness is different, and it is very scribbled. It is written: foolish and reckless, shocking Fangjia, the future should be punished and punished Yue Qianqian also knew that the name "Fang Jia" must be referring to herself, she couldn't help frowning and said with a wry smile: "Things are getting weirder and weirder, brother Shen and Wu, either with great skills or reputation, it's only natural that some people fear you, but Yue Qianqian never What kind of apology are these unscrupulous gangsters apologizing to me, a nameless and weak girl who has never been in the Jianghu? Wu Tiancai smiled wryly and said: Anyway, this road is full of strange peaks and confusing, but according to my prediction, from now on, maybe it will be calm? Yue Qianqian stared at Wu Tiancai, raised her eyebrows, and asked with a smile: Brother Wu, why do you have such a guess? Wu Tiancai smiled and said: "I can't explain the reason. This is just my direct feeling. I feel that Shen Zongyi and I seem to have a check and balance effect on each other. Now we will reunite with Miss Yue who someone will apologize to you." In this place, three people walking together can probably make the vultures and wolves in the dark care about one thing and lose another, and have scruples, but nothing will happen! Yue Qianqian listened quietly at first, then nodded again and again and said, "Yes, that's right, Brother Wu's view seems to imply a profound philosophy?After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and lifted the pot for Wu Tiancai, and filled the glass with wine. Wu Tiancai raised his glass and drank a little, stared at Yue Qianqian, and asked with a smile on his face: "Miss Yue, forgive me, what's your father's name?"Must be a rare figure in the martial arts world? Yue Qianqian replied: My father used the word heaven, and the next word Hao. Wu Tianhao said in surprise: Yue Tianhao?I am confident that I have a lot of knowledge, why haven't I heard of such a famous figure in the world of martial arts? The corner of Yue Qianqian's mouth lifted slightly, as if she was about to say something? Wu Tiantian's various reactions were very quick, and he immediately noticed it, and said with a smile: "Miss Yue, what do you want to say?" Yue Qianqian paused again, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said slowly: My father has retired from the world in recent years, and it is not very pleasant for people to mention his old name, so it will inevitably make Brother Wu feel strange. Wu Tiancai clearly felt that Yue Qianqian seemed to have more to say, but it was inconvenient to ask too much, so he had to ask another question in his heart? The two were drinking and chatting, and they didn't realize that it was dawn, Yue Qianqian waved her sleeves with a smile, and used her unique orchid brushing technique to untie the black sweet sleeping acupoint for brother Shen Zongyi. Brother Shen, open your eyes.That urging talisman has expired, and you can see the light of midnight! Sure enough, Shen Zongyi's eyeballs rolled slightly under the eyelids, and then they opened suddenly. First of all, he gave Yue Qianqian and Wu Tiancai a common feeling, that is, the divine light in Shen Zongyi's eyes was piercing and cold, and the brightness increased a lot. Experts can tell at a glance that Shen Zongyi was a blessing in disguise. After taking the Nine-Turn Life-Extending Pill, not only did the strange poisons disappear, but the inner strength of the true qi was indeed enhanced. But Shen Zongyi opened his eyelids, looked around, and closed his eyes again. Wu Tiancai understood the meaning of his actions, and said in a low voice with a smile on his face: "Brother Shen, you don't need to perform exercises with luck. Check your internal condition. My younger brother has already checked your pulse. The poison of the seven-hole wasp needle has been completely eliminated." . Shen Zongyi suddenly got up and got out of bed, first raised her left arm to have a look, because firstly, Wu Tiancai performed a good dressing operation, and secondly, the ice lotus powder applied was an excellent wound medicine, after a sound sleep, not only the bleeding had already stopped , and there was no pain in the wound, and he couldn't help being shocked, and said in astonishment: The poison of the seven-hole wasp needle is quite strong, the younger brother clearly remembers that his whole body has been paralyzed, his true energy is difficult to gather, his mind is fading, and he seems to be about to die, why? Not only is there nothing wrong now, but I feel that the heavenly king is prosperous, the Qi is prosperous, and the viscera are ethereal Wu Tiancai smiled and said: Brother Shen, the benefits are more than that.According to my estimates, brother Shen's internal energy has been strengthened by at least 10% Shen Zongyi focused on Wu Tiancai, and with an expression of extreme gratitude, he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you brother Wu for your kindness of regeneration. What rare holy medicine did you give me that can save life and death?" Wu Tiancai said with a smile: Brother Shen thanked the wrong person. The one who recreated your kindness with you was Miss Yue. She gave you the nine-turn renewing life pill that her mentor gave her to protect her life. Although Shen Zongyi has not asked about world affairs for a long time, but because Fairy Jiuwan of Youlan Valley in Xianxia Ridge is a senior expert, she has heard her name for a long time. After hearing the words, she focused on Yue Qianqian and said: Miss Yue is famous for her art, it is Xianxia Under the Jiuwan Gate? Yue Qianqian said: "Brother Shen guessed right, the tutor is Fairy Jiuwan.When the name of Fairy Jiuwan was mentioned, Yue Qianqian stood up to pay her respects. Shen Zongyi took a deep look at Yue Qianqian, clasped her fists slightly and said, "I dare not thank you for the great kindness of my life, but I still have one thing I don't know. I want to ask Miss Yue for help." He asked for advice, but before he could say it, Yue Qianqian continued with a sweet smile: "Brother Shen, why are you so polite in your words? If you have anything to say, just ask me." In Shen Zongyi's handsome eyes, there was a flash of light, and he frowned slightly and asked: Since Miss Yue has the miraculous and miraculous drug of Nine Turns Life Renewing Pill, why didn't she use it to cure Nanny Bai, so that she could escape from illness? This catastrophe?These few words, asked a little suddenly, made Yue Qianqian startled? Wu Tiancai smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows to Shen Zongyi and said to Shen Zongyi: "Brother Shen, as the saying goes: medicine can cure diseases, and Buddhas are destined for people. Don't you forget that Bai Nanny has three snake-headed arrows and seven white tiger nails in her body?" , probably before Miss Yue arrived, Grandma Bai bid farewell to the troubled times. No matter how miraculous the power of the Nine-Turn Life Renewing Pill, it would be in vain, and there would be no way to return to the soul! Yue Qianqian let out an admiration, and smiled at Wu Tiancai: "Brother Wu is indeed a genius in reasoning things out. At that time, the situation was exactly like this. Ten hidden weapons hit half of the key points, and Nanny Bai died tragically. There is no need to ruin this Nine-Turn Life-Extending Pill anymore! Shen Zongyi let out a cry, and shouted to Wu Tiancai: In the Wufu Inn in Zhumaji, the traces of the enemy appeared, which is obviously not a good place. Yes, although Miss Yue is well-known in arts and skills, she has never set foot in the rivers and lakes. Under the shameless conspiracy of ghosts and monsters, her safety is really a concern. We should go on the road early. Now that the sky is bright, Brother Shen, please accompany Yue The girls are chatting, I'm going to buy a horse Yue Qianqian was surprised and said, "Buy a horse?"brother wu is planning Wu Tiancai smiled and said: At least one must be bought, a thousand miles are long, Brother Shen and I take turns driving for Miss Yue.When one person is acting as a coachman, it is impossible to ask the other person to walk beside the cart, and it is better to accompany him on a horse, which is more convenient and looks better. Yue Qianqian's pear dimples appeared, her charm was intoxicating, she raised her eyebrows with a coquettish smile and said: "Brother Wu's idea is really interesting, you can go buy a horse, but I will never dare to wrong either of you and Brother Shen. my coachman Wu Tiancai stared at Yue Qianqian, her mouth moved, she was about to speak, Yue Qianqian smiled again and said: "The two horses I use for driving are not bad, Brother Wu will buy another one, so let's ride one by one, everyone rides on the road, don't worry about that." The car is gone. With a concerned expression, Shen Zongyi said to Yue Qianqian seriously: Miss Yue, the long-distance pommel horse is much more tiring than riding in a car. Yue Qianqian smiled sweetly and said: Why does Brother Shen regard me as an ordinary girl with a weak quality?With you two martial arts heroes accompanying me, I can take this opportunity to practice and practice 吳天才向沈宗儀笑道：沈兄，岳姑娘既然這等說法，我們便順從她的意思，讓她能有機會在途中一展身手也好，適才我看她在沈兄身上施展的蘭花拂穴手法，高得很呢！ 沈宗儀無可奈何地，苦笑一聲，皺眉說道：好吧，既你們兩位都一樣說法，我也不便再獨持異議！ 吳天才見沈宗儀也已同意，遂起身出店，去往騾馬店中，選購馬匹。 岳倩倩從一雙妙目中，流露無限深情地，向沈宗儀含笑說道：沈兄，剛才為你臂上傷口，挖除爛肉之際，你失血頗多，如今是否困乏，要不要再睡上一會？ 沈宗儀笑道：令師九畹仙子所煉九轉續命丹為武林聖藥，沈宗儀僥倖服食，因禍得福，如今氣旺神和，那裏還有絲毫困乏之意？說至此處，目注岳倩倩問道：岳姑娘恕我冒昧動問，令師所賜的九轉續命丹，你共有幾粒？ 岳倩倩笑道：此丹因係以九轉仙蘭實暨其他八味罕世靈藥合煉，製作備極艱難，成藥為數也少，家師所存不多，故而僅賜一粒。 沈宗儀聽岳倩倩這樣說法，遂滿面惶恐慚色，苦笑一聲嘆道：岳姑娘僅有這一粒護身保命聖藥，卻被我糟塌 岳倩倩搖手笑說道：沈兄千萬不要這樣說法，靈丹妙藥，本在濟世活人，白嬤嬤若非當時畢命，我也會照樣以此丹救她，如今既為沈兄解毒消災，度過一場魔劫，正是物得其用，那裏說得上是糟塌二字 語音微頓，把兩道似水目光，眼在沈宗儀臉上，正色又道：沈兄再想，倘若不是你的左臂，為我擋針，則岳倩倩在七孔黃蜂針崩簧一響之下，必然要害受傷，剎那間毒攻心臟，縱有再多的九轉續命丹也難以綰魂，豈不成了無用廢物？ 沈宗儀嘆道：話雖如此，但我對於岳姑娘的這份救命恩情，總覺得太重！ 岳倩倩嫣然笑道：彼此既已訂交，沈兄便不必再說這種謙虛客套之語 語音至此忽頓，換了一副調皮神情，揚眉嬌笑說道：倘若沈兄當真覺得欠我恩情太重了，也不必內心不安，只消在這一路之間，與到了白水鎮後，盡量設法對我答報答報便了！ 她含笑調侃，丰神美絕，到把沈宗儀弄得有點面紅耳赤，啼笑皆非。 沈宗儀倜儻風流，本是天生情種，他怎會不感覺到岳倩倩與他一見投緣，業已向他張開了一面威力無窮的深深情網！ 但自己因有傷心恨事，多半會在白水鎮自絕殉情，遂打算心如止水，決不再加絲毫波動！ 誰知人算不如天算，自己雖一再對岳倩倩規避，卻偏偏一再與她發生瓜葛，如今竟弄得義不容辭地，作了她身邊護衛。 從岳倩倩的臉上神色看，及目內情思看出，這位絕代嬌娃，業已作繭自縛，深深陷入了情網之內 這段情，是喜劇？是悲劇？會使自己一顆業已破碎的心，獲得滋潤，重行茁長情苗，結成幸福果實？抑或使自己再度情海沒頂，遭受比上次更大的打擊，以致誤人誤已，萬劫不復 沈宗儀心波百轉，臉上自然也在剎那之間，幻變了各種神色。 岳倩倩看在眼中，好生詫異地，向他柔聲問道：沈兄是在想些甚麼？你眼中彷彿閃射出一些極奇異而極複雜的神采 沈宗儀相當尷尬地苦笑一聲，正不知如何作答之際，門外已響起了吳天才的爽朗笑聲。 沈宗儀藉此解圍，目注岳倩倩，雙揚劍眉說道：岳姑娘，倘若吳兄買來馬匹，我們便早點上路如何？ 岳倩倩嬌笑道：小妹托庇高明，一路間所有行止，均由沈兄作主。 這時，吳天才業已進入室中，向沈宗儀含笑說道：沈兄，我買到一匹純白色的好馬，給岳姑娘代步，你我便將就一些，乘騎那兩匹拉車牲口便了。 岳倩倩道：呀，那多不好意思，不過我那兩匹拉車的馬兒，看來也還健壯，不知腳程方面，是否 沈宗儀笑道我們又不是趕甚時間，必須加鞭策騎，全速飛馳，只是用來代步而已，岳姑娘無須顧慮它們腳程快慢的了。 岳倩倩嬌笑道：既然這樣，我且略為收拾一下，便隨沈兄吳兄上路。 話完，便收拾好一切物件，並把那輛華麗馬車，送給店家，又復神情略顯哀怨地，向吳天才叫道：吳兄，我們走吧，但在上路之前。還須到白嬤嬤暫厝之處一祭。 吳天才笑了一笑，把岳倩倩帶到店後厝棺之處。 店家已備好香燭祭品，沈宗儀也虔敬上香，只有吳天才卻大邁邁地，站在一旁，不曾行禮。 沈宗儀看他這種神情，好生奇怪，趨岳倩倩囑咐店家仔細照料之際，向吳天才悄然問道：吳兄，你你與那位白嬤嬤，不不甚投緣？ 吳天才搖頭微笑道：萍水相逢，毫無恩怨，沈兄突然問起我與那位老婆婆投不投緣則甚？ 沈宗儀道：江湖中，除了互有深仇大恨者外，通常皆以人死為尊，但吳兄適才竟不肯向白嬤嬤靈前行禮，故而小弟才懷疑你與那位老婆婆，不甚投緣。 吳天才道：小弟吝於一拜，並非疏忽失禮，而是另有原因。 沈宗儀哦了一聲，雙眉微蹙地，低低道：小弟愚蒙，竟想不出吳兄所謂的另外原因是指 吳天才軒眉一笑，截斷沈宗儀的話頭，低聲問道：沈兄，岳姑娘對我下拜白嬤嬤之舉，可曾在意？ 沈宗儀搖頭道：岳姑娘毫未在意 吳天才笑道：她既毫未在意，沈兄卻苦苦向我責詢則甚？等到了白水鎮後，或許不待小弟解釋，沈兄便可恍然大悟地，明白其中原故。 沈宗儀苦笑道：又是要等到了白水鎮，這白水鎮上，似乎蘊藏了太多隱秘？ 吳天才也深深嘆息一聲，眉頭略皺，臉色凝重說道：不單蘊藏了太多隱秘，並還形成了複雜恩仇，我們捲於其中。Is it a disaster?It is a blessing?如今均料不定呢 這時，岳倩倩已交代完畢，店家因受重賜，相當殷勤地，牽過了三匹馬兒。 岳倩倩道：沈兄、吳兄，我們走吧，等到了白水鎮後，再讓我爹爹派人來此，搬取白嬤嬤的棺木。 沈宗儀、吳天才含笑點頭，雙雙上馬，陪同岳倩倩，縱脊揚鞭，緩緩馳去。 岳倩倩一鞭在手，顧盼生姿地，向沈宗儀含笑說道：沈兄，騎馬比坐車舒暢多了，我真後悔在仙霞至此的前一段途程中，竟自找罪受地，弄輛車兒乘坐。 走在岳倩倩左的沈宗儀還未答話，在她身右的吳天才業已笑道：幸虧岳姑娘前一段旅程是坐車，否則不知會生多少事故？ 岳倩倩說道：會生甚麼事故？我初入江湖，與任何人皆無恩怨 吳天才笑道：恩怨可分為兩種，一是舊有，一是新結，岳姑娘難道設聽說過匹夫無罪，懷璧其罪 岳倩倩不解其意地，咦了一聲，揚眉說道：懷甚麼璧？我行篋中，除了一些權充旅費的金銀以外，根本就沒帶著趙璧隋珠等罕世之物！ 吳天才看她一眼，失笑說道：絕代有佳人，美姿冠塵俗，岳姑娘難道不知道你本身便是一件價值過任何寶物的希世罕寶？ 這是解釋，也是恭維，岳倩倩絕代嬌靨，突然紅了起來。 不單嬌靨生酡，連那一雙清澈如水，美韻撩人的妙目之中，也閃射出爛如岩電的炯炯異采！ 臉泛酡紅，是受了恭維 目斜異采，是看見怪事 業已出了駐馬集了，眼前正是去白水鎮的山路入口。 就在那山路入口的一株歪脖樹上，吊掛著一具死屍。若是尋常百姓，自行上吊，也就無甚足奇了。但一來這死屍不是自吊，而是被吊。二來屍體所著服飾，是套黑色緊身夜行衣，便顯非尋常百姓，而是武林人物！ 岳倩倩有此發現，便微勒絲韁，朗聲發話叫道：沈兄、吳兄，你們瞧見樹上屍體沒有，可能又有江湖兇邪，在此生事尋寡，但不知沖誰而來？是你們那一位的主顧？ 吳天才雙目凝光，遙遙一注，便向岳倩倩含笑說道：若照我的推測，這不是我和沈兄的任何一人主顧，多半這具屍體，是沖著岳姑娘，才會懸吊樹上！ 岳倩倩以一種奇詫目光，盯著吳天才，揚眉問道：吳兄，你這種判斷，是從何而來，那具屍體，是怎麼 吳天才不等岳倩倩的問話語畢，便向她笑聲道：岳姑娘請注意樹上所吊屍體的前胸七坎穴部位 一陣大風，懸屍微側，使岳倩倩看得分明，詫然說道：咦，經吳兄這麼一說，的確有點怪，那具屍體的七坎穴部位，為甚麼會嵌著一圈黃色銅片？ 吳天才接口笑道：我的看法，不是如此，我認為那不是一圈黃色銅片，而是一枚七孔黃蜂針的針筒 沈宗儀因昨夜中毒昏迷，不知道隨後又有鐵翎箭傳書，向岳倩倩道歉之事，故而不明就裏地，對吳天才問道：七孔黃蜂針的針筒？吳兄怎會有此異想天開 吳天才說道：小弟不是異想天開，而是根據事實論斷，沈兄昨夜被岳姑娘以蘭花拂穴手法，點了黑甜穴，安然入夢以後，還發生了一段小故事呢！當下便把鐵翎箭傳書之事，向沈宗儀說了一遍。說完又道：沈兄請想，既然昨夜發生過這件事兒，則樹上這具屍體，豈非極可能便是用鐵翎箭傳書之人所說的魯莽蠢材，加以處置，來向岳姑娘實踐道歉之諾，而他胸前七坎死穴部位，所嵌銅片，也多半便是七孔黃蜂針筒的筒底麼？ 沈宗儀聽得連連點頭道：吳兄這種猜測，確實有點道理，小弟索性去察看一下，也好算是了斷了昨夜之事。語音才落，雙臂一抖，已從馬背騰身，像隻巨鷹般，輕靈無比地，向那吊屍巨樹撲去。 岳倩倩妙目凝光，盯著沈宗儀，口中卻向吳天才低聲笑道：吳兄，沈兄的輕功身法，確已爐火純青。他真具有當世罕見的超凡拔俗身手！ 吳天才點頭笑道：不錯，吳天才身有傲骨，生平從不服人，但若專以軟硬輕等內外五行功力而論，卻不得不承認沈兄委實要比我高上一籌！說至此處，沈宗儀尚未縱到吊人之樹，突在七八尺外，便以一式細胸倒翻雲身法，凌空倒翻而回。 吳天才道：沈兄怎又不加察看了呢？難道人還未到樹下，便 沈宗儀輕功委實極俊，一式倒翻，便分毫不差地，仍然落向馬背，對岳倩倩、吳天才二人，含笑說道：不必取出屍體胸前所嵌之物，細加察看，因為我已發現那黃色銅片之上，鐫刻著四個極細的字兒。 吳天才笑道：甚麼字兒？是不是魯莽該死 沈宗儀道：不是，但意義卻差不了許多，那黃色銅片之上，鐫是壓驚致歉四字說至此處，目注岳倩倩道：岳姑娘請想，由於這四個字兒，豈非已證明吳兄所料，極度正確。懸屍人既非惡意，我也用不著再下手取那屍胸所嵌之物，細加察看的了。 岳倩倩點頭笑道：不必看了，我們走一語未畢，弓弦忽響！不是一張弓，至少有十幾張弓，同時發出了嗡嗡弦聲，當然，立時有十幾根箭，隨著弦響，蝟射而至！不過，這十幾根箭兒，射得有點奇怪，不是射沈宗儀，不射岳倩倩，專射吳天才一人。 沈宗儀一聞弦響，本就暗凝功勁，加以提防，如今雖然發現，這次襲擊的目標，不是自己，仍擘空一掌，呼然擊出，他自服九轉續命丹，真氣內力方面，果見增強，這劈空一掌，把射向吳天才身左的六七根箭兒，震得準頭大偏，斜無蹤影。剩下的五六根箭兒，均是射向右方，吳天才把他那件相當骯髒躐蹋的儒衫大袖，揮了一揮，也均告凌空震落！ 由於弓弦響處，是在崖頂，此時又已靜寂無聲，吳天才知曉人早遁去，追也白追，遂向沈宗儀笑道：沈兄，說來真有趣，你有災厄時，我必安然無恙，我有所顧慮，你卻又往往可以作我福星，看來，想對你我暗下毒手之人，定是立場完全相反的兩位人物？ 沈宗儀臉上神色，突然變得嚴肅異常，一雙劍眉，皺得幾乎結在一處，並發出一聲低低嘆息。 吳天才說道：沈兄，你你是為為了何事，竟神色如此痛苦？ 沈宗儀道：我在擔心 吳天才軒眉笑道：適才么麼小丑所施算計，並未傷著我們半絲毫發，沈兄還擔什麼心呢？ 沈宗儀道：我不是為此擔心，是擔心別的事兒 岳倩倩道：沈兄請說將出來，我們大家研究研究 沈宗儀道：我覺得吳兄適才所說的一路暗算我與吳兄的陰險人物，可能屬於兩個立場相反集團之語，極有道理 岳倩倩不懂沈宗儀語中含義地，一皺雙眉，接口問道：屬於立場相反的兩個集團，也是常情，卻有甚麼值得擔心之處呢？ 沈宗儀苦笑道：這件事兒，要從反面著想，暗算我與吳兄者，屬於兩個相反集團，確實並不值得擔心，但若我與吳兄前去白水鎮的對象，若同屬一人，則令人擔心的程度，就太可怕！ 吳天才臉上，也開始顯露出一種沉重神色 岳倩倩以一雙朗徹眼神，看著沈宗儀，嫣然笑道：沈兄，我我還是不太懂 沈宗儀一面任馬徐行，一面向岳倩倩苦笑道：我去白水鎮，是要殺人，吳兄則是受聘護人，倘若這對象萬分湊巧地，同屬一人時，則我與吳兄這一雙新交好友，竟變成對頭冤家，甚至於難免要各盡所能，拼個死活，豈不太以可怕？ 吳天才的臉色沉重程度越來越甚地，哼了一聲說道：起初，我認為天下沒有如此湊巧之事，但如今仔細想上一想，確實大有可能 岳倩倩道：吳兄是從何處著想，才產生頗有可能的這種想法？ 吳天才向沈宗儀目光略注，發出一聲苦笑道：我是從沈兄這身幾乎可以誇稱傲世無雙的武功著想。 岳倩倩道：我初涉江湖，閱歷不深，知識淺薄，請吳兄解釋得明白一點。 吳天才道：這道理極為簡單，聘我保護之人，若非為了仇家身懷絕藝，普通人決難抵敵，伺必花費千兩黃金之鉅，聘請我吳天才去往白水鎮呢，而身懷絕藝，常人難敵的這種條件，又恰與沈兄，相當符合 岳倩倩聽得秀眉雙蹙，想了一會兒，苦笑說道：我們早點把這謎底揭開來吧，否則，慢說是你們兩位當事人，會一路各懷鬼胎，連我也會疑神疑鬼地，弄得食難甘味，寢難安枕呢 吳天才苦笑道：不行，這謎底在未到白水鎮前，根本就無法揭開。 Yue Qianqian said: Why? 沈宗儀一旁面帶苦笑地，接口向岳倩倩說道：岳姑娘有所不知，在未到白水鎮前，不單我不知道要殺之人是誰？連吳兄也不知道聘他保護之人的姓名來歷？ 岳倩倩把小嘴一嘟，目注吳天才，揚眉叫道：吳兄，倘若聘你保護之人，與沈兄要殺之人，真是同一人時，你可不可以退還聘金，不保護他？ 吳天才毫不考慮地，搖了搖頭，應聲答道：不可以！ 岳倩倩見他回答得如此斬釘截鐵，不禁詫然問道：為甚麼不可以呢？據我看來，吳兄並不像是那種過分貪圖千兩黃金厚聘的重利輕義之人 吳天才一雙銳目之中電閃神光，朗聲接道：我所說不可以一語，不是輕義，而是重義！ 岳倩倩越發惑然地，微蹙雙眉，目注吳天才道：重義？這是重義？吳兄與沈兄已交深莫逆，而和那千金聘你之人，尚一面不識 吳天才嘆道：我所謂的重義，是重於江湖道義，因為我與沈兄結識在後，而接受白水鎮神秘人物的聘請再先，遂不得不尊重這項承諾，江湖中，已少國法約束，倘若彼此再不重諾守信，將成為甚麼樣的混亂世界？ 沈宗儀一旁笑道：對，我贊成吳兄這種理論，也佩服你的重諾守信。 吳天才道：除非 岳倩倩冰雪聰明，看出吳天才神色似有變化，遂在吳天才語音略頓之下，立時加以追問道：除非甚麼？吳兄怎個說將下去？ 吳天才道：我在接受聘請之時，曾提出一項條件，就是被保護者倘罪行確鑿，乃一十惡不赦之徒，我便可以不踐諾言。 岳倩倩拊掌道：這條件提得好，否則，吳兄豈不成了貪圖厚利的助紂為虐之徒，如此說來，我真希望那住在白水鎮的神秘人物，是個十惡不赦之徒了。 沈宗儀搖頭道：岳姑娘的這種希望，多半成空，不會屬於事實。 岳倩倩不解問道：沈兄何出此語？難道你認為以千兩黃金，求聘吳兄為他保護性命的白水鎮神秘人物，竟會是個善良之輩？ 沈宗儀苦笑道：他一定不是個善良之輩，才心
