Chapter 4 Chapter Four
Meng Chi waved his hands to Gongsun Sui with a wry smile and said: Don't worry, Nephew Qiu, I have a cold and chronic illness, and it suddenly broke out, and the pain in my waist is about to break. I just need to calmly adjust my breath for half a day and I will be fine!
Gongsun Sui raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled coquettishly and shouted: Uncle Meng, your luck has come!
Meng Chi smiled wryly and said: Nephew Qiu still teases me, it's because of my old illness, not because of luck!
Gongsun Sui pointed at Huangfu Qing, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Senior Du has the title of Iron Sword Doctor, and is the number one martial artist in contemporary martial arts!"Brother Huangfu is a master of Du Daxia, and he must also be able to help others. He pointed out that the spring will be born, why didn't Master Meng ask him to replace you?
Meng Chi seemed to be reminded by Gongsun Sui's words, nodded repeatedly, clasped his fists at Huangfu Qing and said with a smile: Brother Huangfu, you
Huangfu Qing didn't wait for Meng Chi to ask, and said with a smile: "It's good if I come to check the pulse of old man Meng!"However, Huangfu Qing's aptitude is blunt, and his income is too shallow, so he cannot compare with his family teacher.
Although he was speaking modestly, he stretched out three fingers and placed them on Meng Chi's left wrist.
After diagnosing the left and right pulses, he asked Meng Chi again: "Mr. Meng, you seem to have recovered from your chronic illness of wind and cold. How about the last ten years?"
Meng Chi nodded with a smile and said: "The famous teacher is a master, it's true. I've been cured of the cold for eight or nine years. It's just that in the past few days, it's just happened again!"
Huangfu Qing said: "Where does Old Man Meng feel the pain?"
Meng Chi replied: Lower back!
Huangfu Qing said: Let me have a look, okay?
Gongsun Sui's face became hot, and he got up and walked aside, Meng Chi unbuttoned his clothes and asked Huangfu Qing to examine him carefully.
Huangfu Qing took a closer look, touched it with his hands, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "My medical skills are poor, so I really can't see what's wrong with Old Man Meng?"That's it, the wind-dispelling pills made by my teacher have magical effects, old man Meng, do you want to take a pill and try it?
Meng Chi was overjoyed and said: The miraculous doctor and the wonderful medicine must be extraordinary, thank you brother!
Huangfu Qing immediately took out a pill of elixir and fed it to Meng Chi.
Seeing that Meng Chi had already put on his clothes, Gongsun Sui walked over and said with a smile, "Uncle Meng, does your back still hurt?"Shall we go to Dangshan Zhanshegou based on the clues Brother Huangfu heard?
Meng Chi seemed to be secretly channeling his true qi to help dissipate the medicine's power, so he didn't answer immediately. After a while, Fang laughed and said: "The miraculous medicine is a true medicine. I only took a small pill from Huangfu's brother, and it happened suddenly." The lower back pain from the attack is much better!
Gongsun Sui didn't know that Meng Chi was playing tricks, and when he heard that his back pain was getting better, he raised his eyebrows with a smile and said to him, "Uncle Meng, take a good rest, we're going to Laoshan, anyway, we'll take the route, so we might as well stop by Dangshan and Zhanshegou. See what clues?
Meng Chi nodded and smiled, "Alright, I have no objection, let's go to Dangshan."
Huangfu focused his eyes on Gongsun Sui, and asked in a surprised tone: "Brother Sun, why are you going to Laoshan?"Did you also get the message
Gongsun Xuan shook his head and said: "Going to Laoshan has nothing to do with the murder of Qin Daxia here. I went to another appointment."
Huangfu Qingdao: Who made the appointment?
Although Gongsun Sui felt that he was asking too many questions, but it was inconvenient not to answer him, and said with a smile: "Ping Tianchou!"
Huangfu Qing frowned, and said to himself: Ping Tian Qiu Ping Tian Qiu.
Gongsun Sui laughed and said, "Brother Huangfu, don't think hard, you won't know him."Ping Tianchou is just a fellow martial artist I recently met!
Huangfu Qing smiled shyly and said: I'm not guessing anything else, I'm just curious.
Gongsun Sui smiled and said: "It's because we have the same name, that we met by chance, but that Brother Pingtianchou is young and handsome, with a great temperament. If Brother Huangfu meets you, I'm sure you'll like him too!"
Huangfu Qing was about to answer when Meng Chi suddenly called out: Brother Huangfu!
Huangfu Qing bowed and replied: "What instruction does Old Man Meng have?"
Meng Chi smiled and said: I want to ask my brother a question, is it possible to speak deeply when we have a shallow friendship?
Huangfu Qing was slightly taken aback, raised his sword eyebrows, and replied with a smile: Although the sages have something that cannot be agreed with, it is a slip of the tongue to say something to him!You can speak with him, but don't talk to him, and you will lose the training of others, but old man Meng doesn't have to be restricted by this to Huangfu Qing, you can directly ask about anything, and I know everything, and I can say everything!
Hearing this, Meng Chi stretched out his hand and smiled, "Since that's the case, I don't take the liberty to ask Brother Huangfu to borrow something!"
Huangfu Qing said: "What does the old man want to see?"
Meng Chi smiled and said: I want to open my eyes and see the iron sword genius doctor Du Daxia, the phaseless soul-capturing needle that shocked the demons in the past!
Huangfu Qing was startled for a moment, but immediately took out a small black needle about an inch long and as thin as a human hair, and handed it to Meng Chi with both hands.
Meng Chi took a look, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How far can this needle go?"
Huangfu Qing smiled and said: "It depends on each person's skill, the teacher can hurt people from five zhang away, but Huangfu Qing can only use it at around three zhang!"
Meng Chi picked up the needle, took a closer look, and asked again: "Although this needle is extremely sharp, the steel body of the needle seems to be extremely brittle. It can break into the flesh and attack the heart along with the blood. Apart from sucking out the broken needle, Xingshi has almost no other choice?
Huangfu Qing nodded with a smile and said: "Old Man Meng is right, because of this, my master's acupuncture is too powerful, and I have repeatedly warned you, never use it lightly unless you are encountering an unforgivable person, or when you are close to death!"
Meng Chi nodded repeatedly, returned the Phaseless Soul Seizing Needle to Huangfu Qing, and smiled at Gongsun Sui: "Nephew Qiu, I'm done, I don't need to stay here anymore, let's go to Zhanshegou in Dangshan Mountain!"
Gongsun Sui smiled and stretched out his hand, letting Huangfu Qing walk out of the Bodhi Xiaozhu first.
Just when she herself was about to follow suit, she suddenly heard Meng Chi's sound transmission skills in ant language, whispering in her ear: "Nephew Qiu, don't be careless, you should be very wary of this Huangfuqing!"
Gongsun Sui was taken aback, deliberately slowed down, and glanced at Meng Chi!
Meng Chi's mouth moved slightly, and he continued: "It's hard to say whether this person is right or wrong, at least in terms of his identity, he must still have secrets. I suspect that he is pretending to be Du Xiaoqiao's banner, and he is not a disciple of Iron Sword Doctor!"
Naturally, Gongsun Sui was full of suspicion when he heard this, but Huangfu Qingren was traveling with him, so it was inconvenient to ask Meng Chi in detail, where did this suspicion come from?
Along the way, Gongsun Sui intentionally or unintentionally found some medical issues and discussed them with Huangfu Qing, but Huangfu Qing not only answered fluently, but also spoke very incisively!
At dusk, I came to a rather narrow mountain path, with a cut wall on the right and a cliff on the left. The situation is very dangerous!
Suddenly, a sound of hooves came from behind!
Because they came too fast to ride the Mercedes, if the three of them didn't give way, they were in danger of being knocked off the cliff!
In his busy schedule, Meng Chi was the first to float up to a projecting rock on the right side of the cut wall.
Both Gongsun Sui and Huangfu Qing performed extremely high-quality lightness kung fu, with their backs against the wall, hanging in the air, allowing the man on the fast horse to ride past.
A red shadow, a piece of fragrant wind, blowing the clouds and electricity in front of him!
It turned out that what came galloping from behind was a fiery red horse, and on the back of the horse was a girl in red riding on it.
That girl is quite beautiful, her whole body is fiery red, even the silk scarf that tied her hair is also fiery red, and there is a fiery red feather about a foot long inserted on the silk scarf!
Seeing Meng Chi and the others making way for them, she seemed to be in a hurry and embarrassed, so when she passed Gongsun Sui and Huangfu Qing, she apologized slightly, looked back and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have something urgent!"
The voice is still by my side, even the red shadow transformed by the man and the horse is seven or eight zhang away.
Meng Chi floated to the ground and said with a smile: "Is this girl in a hurry?"In such a narrow place, so galloping?However, she is willing to apologize to us in spite of her busy schedule, which is not bad!
Gongsun Sui frowned and said, "What's the use of apologizing?"Just now, if it was a person with a little slower movement and a little weaker skill, how many people would be killed if she knocked him off the cliff?
Huangfu Qing smiled and said: There are so many unreasonable people in Jianghu!I met one
Before the words were finished, the voice paused, and there was a surprise in the mouth.
It turned out that at the corner of the road ahead, there were two red shadows standing.
A little red shadow is a person, a little red shadow is a horse, it is the girl in red who galloped by just now, but now she dismounts and stands tall, standing in front.
Gongsun Ying walked slowly, raised his brows slightly, and asked with a smile: "Isn't the girl in a hurry?"Why do you seem to have spare time now and not in a hurry?
The girl in red seems to be only twenty years old, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, she is very beautiful, but the fortitude between her eyebrows seems to be a little heavier!
After hearing Gongsun Sui's question, she snorted and asked, "I'm afraid the horse will be tired from running, so I can take a rest here, is that okay?"
Gongsun Sui bumped into a nail, and couldn't help being angry and funny, nodded and said: "Okay, you can rest as you like, as long as you are young, don't run like that again, almost knocking us off the cliff!"
The corner of the girl's mouth twitched, and she said contemptuously: "The three of you all have such good lightness skills, will I be able to hit you?"
Gongsun Sui wanted to wait for something to say, but couldn't answer, so he walked forward together with Meng Chi and Huangfu Qing.
But she didn't want to provoke the girl in red, but the girl in red insisted on provoking her, and shouted: "Stop!"
Gongsun Sui looked at Huangfu Qing sideways, and said with a wry smile: Brother Huangfu, you are right, there are indeed a lot of unreasonable people in the Jianghu!
At this moment, the girl in red came over with her horse.
Gongsun Sui laughed and said, "The girl told us to stop. I don't know why?"
The girl in red said: I want to ask you, what road number does it belong to?
In a word, Meng Chi, Gongsun Sui, and Huangfu Qing were all speechless!
Gongsun Sui wanted to lose his temper, but he couldn't, so he smiled wryly and said, "What way?"On personality upright, on heart and courage
The girl in red shook her hand and said: No, no!You don't have to brag about yourself, I'm asking which sect in the martial arts world you belong to?
Huangfu Qing smiled and said: Is there any reason why we must answer the girl?
The girl in red said: "There is no need to have any reason. Since I want to ask, you must answer, otherwise
Huangfu Qing frowned and said: Otherwise, what?Could it be that the girl is going to knock us all off the cliff if we refuse to answer?
The girl in red blinked her eyes and said, "That's not necessary, but if I lose my temper, you will definitely feel bad!"
Meng Chi smiled and said: "Miss, don't lose your temper. Old Huazi will tell you first, my surname is Meng, my first name is Chi, and I have a nickname in the Jianghu. Are you satisfied, Miss?"
The girl in red was taken aback for a moment, then nodded to Meng Chi and said: Yes!Youlong Xia Meng Chi, I seem to have heard of such a number one character
Seeing her old-fashioned look, Gongsun Sui couldn't help but burst out laughing!
The girl in red stared and said: What are you laughing at?what's your name?
Gongsun Sui said: "My name is Sun Tianqiu."
The girl in red said: What about the nickname?
Gongsun Sui laughed and said: "I'm just out of the rivers and lakes, and I haven't got a nickname yet. If the girl is happy, you might as well give me one!"
The girl in red said again: Whose apprentice are you?
Without hesitation, Gongsun Sui raised his eyebrows and replied: I am my master's apprentice!
Both Meng Chi and Huangfu Qing wanted to laugh, but they both had sullen faces and imposed patience, they never laughed out loud!
The girl in red flew into a rage, her brows twitched and said: Sun Tianchou, you are so bold, how dare you tease me?
Gongsun Sui smiled, looked at the girl in red, and said slowly: "Since walking into the rivers and lakes full of tigers, wolves and thorns, you shouldn't be too timid, but I don't admit that I teased you, because what I said It is a matter of course and honesty!
Of course, the saying that she is her master's apprentice is indeed a matter of course, no one can refute it!
The girl in red said angrily: Who is your master?Why do you hesitate and dare not speak clearly?
Gongsun Sui laughed and said, "I think we have said enough to the girl!"Before you yourself have revealed your identity, why insist on others reporting everything to you.
The girl in red had a sudden flash of light in her phoenix eyes, and she shouted sharply: "Why?I rely on
Seeing that she seemed about to turn his back on her, Meng Chi smiled and said, "Girl, you are a little unfair!"
The girl in red asked: Where is the unfairness?
Meng Chi smiled and said: There are at least two points. First, why did you only ask me and my nephew, but not this brother?
The girl in red glanced at Huangfu Qing, and said with a slightly twitched corner of her mouth, "Sneaking around like you is not straightforward enough, and I don't bother to ask any more questions."
Meng Chi smiled and said: "It's not that we are not generous enough, it's just that some people like to exaggerate and show off others, while others don't like to rely on the door of the teacher's family."
Before the words were finished, the girl in red sneered and said: Humph!I don't believe that among you, there is any tall portal that can dazzle people
Meng Chi pointed to Huangfu Qing and said: "Young lady doesn't believe me, so I'll introduce him. This brother Huangfuqing is a disciple of Du Xiaoqiao, a great hero with iron sword in ancient times. What do you think his family is like?"Is it good enough?
The girl in red stared at Huangfu Qing twice, nodded and said: Master's reputation is indeed not small, I just wonder how many true biography he can get from his master?
There was a slight pause in his voice, and he asked Meng Chi again: You just said that I have two unfair points, what is the other point?
Meng Chi laughed and said: No matter whether our answer satisfies the girl or not, the girl has to admit that we were stopped by you, and we have already answered a lot obediently!
The girl in red just nodded, and Meng Chi laughed again: "Unreasonable and unreasonable teachers are the most taboo in Jianghu. Since the girl interrogated us for a long time, shouldn't you tell us the reason for your questioning?"
The girl in red pondered for a moment, nodded with a twinkle in her eyes, and said, "Okay, let me tell you, my name is Ouyang Hong, and my master's surname is Jiao. Her name is unknown to the world. People in the world call her old lady Jiao." !
Meng Chi said in a voiceless voice: "Is it the old lady Jiao who is referring to the hot-handed celestial woman in the ballad of the invincible martial arts, two demons, one Buddha and two gods?"
Ouyang Hong nodded and said: Yes, since you know the identity of my master
At this point in the conversation, the Huangfu Qing suddenly snorted from his nose, and continued coldly: "Master's identity is good, but I don't know how much of her master's true biography she can get?"
Just now Ouyang Hong had said similar words to Huangfu Qing.
Now, when Huangfu Qing said it, she just happened to be tit for tat with her!
Ouyang Hong twitched her eyebrows, her jade cheeks were frosty, and she yelled at Huangfu Qing: "Huangfu Qing, don't be airy, I am so skilled, do you want to give it a try?"
Huangfu Qingxuan smiled and said: "I'm sure what I want, I don't dare to ask for it!"
Ouyang Hong said angrily: Okay, this place is too narrow!I'll be waiting for you in the open space ahead!
After finishing speaking, he got on his horse, turned into a red cloud, and disappeared in the place where the peak turns around!
Meng Chi stared at Huangfu Qing and said, "Brother Huangfu, why do you have to have the same knowledge as Miss Ouyang Hong?"
Huangfu Qing smiled and said: "There are two reasons why I want to fight her. Old man Meng has been around the rivers and lakes for a long time to predict things, so you might as well make a guess!"
Meng Chi was about to think about it, but Gongsun Sui smiled first and said: The first reason is easy to guess, brother Huangfu must not be used to her flying on a cliff, almost hit us, and then became more arrogant and violent!But the second reason is not easy to guess!
Huangfu Qing smiled and said: Brother Sun, do you still remember the secret words I told you in the cave?
Gongsun Sui thought for a while and said: "Brother Huangfu heard that the other party is going to report to Zhanshegou in Dangshan Mountain and wait for the mission instructions from Red Feather."
Huangfu Qing nodded and smiled: By the way, Brother Sun, please think again, isn't there a red feather about a foot long stuck on the red scarf with the hair of that rather savage and arrogant girl Ouyang Hong?
Gongsun Xuan gave a loud voice and said, "Not bad, not bad!"Her red feather is definitely not owned by Feifei, and its texture is quite rare. Brother Huangfu thinks it has something to do with the secret language you heard in the cave?
Huangfu smiled without answering, turned to Meng Chi and asked, "Old Man Meng, what do you think?"
Meng Chi thought about it for a while, then said with a wry smile: It's hard to make a judgment on this matter, maybe it has something to do with it?Maybe it's just a very accidental coincidence between the two?
Huangfu Qing said sternly: "My thoughts are the same as the old man's. If I ask seriously, I may cause misunderstanding!"If you leave it alone?He was afraid of missing the opportunity, so he deliberately confronted that Ouyang Hong girl to find some trouble so that he could observe carefully!
Gongsun Zhen clapped his hands and praised: Good!Brother Huangfu's handling is really clever, you are a caring person!
Huangfu Qing shook his head, said with a wry smile: Maybe it's just being smart and getting angry!It must be extremely difficult under the family of the spicy fairy, if I can't catch it, Brother Sun will have to pick it up for me
Gongsun Sui smiled and said: "Brother Huangfu, don't be polite, you are a proud disciple of the heroes of the past, and you have unique skills!"My two hands are clumsy and clumsy, but how can I do them?
Huangfu Qing glanced at her, raised his sword eyebrows slightly and said: "Brother grandson, don't be modest. As the saying goes: A full bottle doesn't move and half a bottle shakes, just let brother grandson's Yuan Tingyue stand up, Shanzang Ruoxu looks at it, and you will know that you are better than me." Much smarter!
There are too few people in the world who don't like flattery. Although Gongsun Sui is a peerless chivalrous woman with a bright heart, she also feels that Huangfu Qing's words are quite useful to him!
She focused her eyes slightly, pointed forward, and laughed in a low voice: Ouyang Hong is there!Firstly, the girl has a thin face, secondly, her master is a hot-handed celestial lady, Mrs. Jiao, and she is also a well-known hot-tempered person in contemporary martial arts, and thirdly, it is just a momentary dispute between the two, and there is no deep hatred, so Huangfu Brother should stop at her, nothing more
When Huangfu Qing heard this, she smiled and said, "That depends on how she behaves?"I'm afraid that even if I don't do anything wrong, she won't give up, so it won't be good?
At this time, between the two cliffs facing each other, there was already a small flat rocky field. Ouyang Hong stood on the spot angrily, while the fiery red horse was grazing beside him!
Seeing Meng Chi, Gongsun Sui, and Huangfu Qing walking slowly, Ouyang Hong raised her eyebrows and shouted loudly: "Huangfu Qing!Why do you walk so slowly, are you already timid?
Huangfu Qing glanced sideways at Gongsun Sui, shook his head and said with a smile: Brother Sun, did you hear that?She is so domineering and arrogant, but how can she tell me to be kind?
After finishing speaking, he floated slightly, and moved slightly to a distance of seven or eight feet in front of Ouyang Hong, clasped his fists slightly, and said with a smile: "A master of the inner family pays attention to calmness, calmness and calmness!"Since Miss Ouyang Hong is the descendant of Mrs. Jiao, the hot-handed fairy woman, why is she so impatient and not calm enough?
Ouyang Hong was extremely angry, her delicate body trembled slightly with anger, she pointed at Huangfu Qing with her halberd and said: "Huangfu Qing!You and I only study how to fight each other, stop relying on sharp tongue and sharp teeth to lecture me indiscriminately!
Huangfu Qing smiled and said: Do you still need to study it?It's just that you come with a punch, and I go with a kick!
Ouyang Hong raised her eyebrows and shouted: Good!You just take my punch first!
As soon as the voice fell, the red shadow and lightning flashed, the person had already stepped on the middle palace, first he raised his right fist, directly hitting Huangfu Qing's heart, but the fist was just released and then retracted, both left and right feet flew together, kicking towards the opponent's chest!
Although Huangfu Qing confronted Ouyang Hong tit for tat and refused to give in at all, he was extremely careful in his actions and never careless!
He could see that although the opponent's punch was a false move, the chain of feet was not real, and how many magical changes were contained in it!
Therefore, Huangfu Qing refused to take it head-on, taking advantage of the fact that the other party hadn't started to change, her figure fluttered, and she retreated seven feet obliquely!
Ouyang Hong sneered, with the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and raised her voice, "Hey!Don't run away, under the sect of Du Xiaoqiao, a majestic Xishu hero with iron sword and genius doctor, do you only have some dodging skills?
While falling down spontaneously, he jumped towards Huangfu Qing again!
Taking advantage of Huangfu Qing and Ouyang Hong's fight, Gongsun Sui lowered his voice to Meng Chi and quietly called out: Uncle Meng, I have a question.
Meng Chi watched Huangfu Qing and Ouyang Hong's actions, and asked, "What's the question?"
Gongsun Sui said: "Where did Uncle Meng see the flaw and think that Huangfu Qing's identity is suspicious?"
Meng Chi shook his head and replied: No!Huangfu Qing didn't reveal any flaws!
Gongsun Sui was even more puzzled when he heard the words, and expressed surprise: "In this case, why does Uncle Meng think that he is pretending to be a family member, and he is not a disciple of Du Xiaoqiao, the genius doctor of iron sword!"
Meng Chi frowned, and replied in a low voice to Gongsun Sui: "This matter started from the Wuxiang Soul-Seizing Needle, but I only suspected it, and didn't prove it, so I just told you to be more careful!"
Gongsun Sui asked: "Isn't that little black needle that Huangfu Qing took to Master Meng to look at, not the Phaseless Soul Seizing Needle?"
Meng Chi replied: I can't tell whether it is true or not.But relying on my experience in the world, I can see that there seems to be a very powerful invisible poison on the needle!
Gongsun Xuanxuan asked, "Yes or no?"What does it have to do with poisonous or non-toxic?
Meng Chi laughed and said: Nephew, please think about it, Daxia Du is a genius doctor of the generation, he must have the idea of helping the world, and his heart is very benevolent, he even thinks that the Wuxiang Soul Needle is too cruel, even if it breaks into the flesh and follows the blood to attack the heart, Never use it lightly, how can you quench the poison on the needle?
The official secretary nodded again and again and said: Uncle Meng is indeed an experienced martial arts senior. This kind of view is so far-reaching, but why did Huangfu Qing pretend to be a disciple of Du Xiaoqiao, the genius doctor of iron sword?
Meng Chi waved his hand and smiled: "Until now, I just had doubts, and I didn't believe that he must be impersonating. Fortunately, in this dangerous world, it is difficult to follow the training of painting a tiger's skin, knowing people, knowing faces but not hearts, and being more careful in everything." , there is always nothing wrong with it!
Gongsun Sui said: "In this way, the contest between him and Ouyang Hong is quite useful."When we watch carefully, we can always see some clues of whether or not
Meng Chi shook his head and said: Not necessarily so, didn't I pretend to be ill and tried him before?It turned out that he possessed both miraculous medicine and proficiency in medicine. It seemed that he was really a descendant of Iron Sword's genius doctor!
Gongsun Sui said: "Maybe
She originally wanted to say that maybe he was really a disciple of Du Xiaoqiao, the genius doctor of iron sword?But after thinking about it, he felt that this sentence was contrary to Meng Chi's skeptical thoughts, so after saying the word maybe, he stopped abruptly.
At this time, Huangfu Qing and Ouyang Hongye were already fighting extremely tensely!
At first, Huangfu Qing was persuaded by Gongsun Sui, and he really wanted to stop it, but because Ouyang Hong was aggressive and aggressive, he had to fight with all his strength, otherwise he would inevitably be controlled by others and put himself in danger!
Huangfu Qing wore a green shirt, while Ouyang Hong's whole body was fiery red like a rosy cloud. Because both of them moved very quickly, they saw two balls of light, one green and one red, between the forward and backward jumps!
Gongsun Sui watched for a while, and called out to Meng Chi in a low voice: Uncle Meng, look at the two of them, who has the upper hand now?
Meng Chi replied with a smile: In my opinion, it seems to be evenly matched?I don't know what my nephew's clever eyes think?
Gongsun Sui nodded slightly, raised his eyebrows and said with a coquettish smile: "It's about the same, it's really not much different. In terms of skill, it seems that except for the disciples of the iron sword genius doctor, it seems that it is difficult for Yu Zi to compete with the proud disciple of the hot-handed fairy woman!"
Hearing Gongsun Sui's statement, Meng Chi knew that he was a little bit disapproving of his doubts about Huangfu Qing, so he said with a smile: "I have already explained, but I just have doubts and no real evidence."
At this point in the conversation, Gongsun Sui suddenly let out a surprise, raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Huangfu Qing's technique has changed, and he has used extremely strange moves. If Ouyang Hong is careless, he will suffer!"
Meng Chi watched closely, and sure enough, he saw Huangfu Qing's unique moves repeatedly, and his strikes were like the wind, and he already had the momentum to take the lead!
But at this moment, Ouyang Hong let out a coquettish scold, and seemed to be using all her strength, attacking desperately, never giving in at all!
This time, there was a whirring sound, and the wind was blowing in all directions. The situation changed from tense and beautiful to dangerous and terrifying!
Another 20 or 30 strokes were fought fiercely
shoot!
It was a crisp sound, as if someone had been slapped?
The two figures, green and red, separated immediately after the crisp sound!
Huangfu's green and handsome face was covered with frost, and he stood tall!
Ouyang Hong caressed her left cheek and took two steps back, her face full of shame and anger!
The two stared at each other for a moment, Ouyang Hong stomped her feet, and tears flowed from her beautiful eyes!
Then, he flew on his horse, turned into a red cloud, and galloped away!
Gongsun Sui stared at Huangfu Qing, frowned and shouted: "Brother Huangfu, she is a girl, why are you so rude, and actually slapped her?"
A strange look appeared on Huangfu Qing's face, and he said with a wry smile: "Brother Sun, don't blame me, Ouyang Hong is too vicious, and a hidden weapon suddenly appeared in her hands, I was hit by her East Sea Killing God Light!"
Gongsun Sui lost his voice and said: Donghai kills the gods?
Huangfu Qing nodded, clasped his fists and said: Exactly, Mr. Meng and Brother Sun, please forgive Huangfu Qing for leaving!
Gongsun Sui was stunned, Huangfu smiled, and said again: Because if I don't find the medicine in time, I will be a maggot attached to the bone forever, and may take my life !
When Gongsun Sui heard what he said, it was naturally inconvenient to stop him, so he had to ask: "What will we expect in the future?"
Huangfu Qing was taken aback for a moment, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Life is a coincidence, and faith is the frontier. I don't know when I will be able to find medicine for my injury."
There was a slight pause in the voice, the sword eyebrows were raised, and he continued: All in all, my younger brother will do his best as soon as possible to kill the gods in the Middle East Sea in the treatment center, and see if he can meet up with old man Meng and brother grandson in Zhanshegou, Dangshan Mountain?
At this point, with his right hand stroking his chest slightly, a painful look of barely enduring appeared on his face!
Meng Chi smiled and said: Brother Huangfu please!It is not advisable to delay the act of curing the disease, I hope you will get the elixir sooner.As for the rendezvous in the future, there must be many opportunities for each other to meet each other, both knight-errants and Feng Ping!
Huangfu Qing nodded again and again, glanced slightly at Meng Chi, and Gongsun Sui said: "Old Man Meng is right!"Stay with the bright moon in the five lakes, and don’t worry about having nowhere to put the golden hook. I will go to find medicine to heal the injury first, and then I will follow. Even if it is too late to meet in Dangshan Zhanshegou, I will rush to Laoshan!
After finishing speaking, he cupped his fists and bowed, turned around, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and drifted to the depths of the mountain forest.
Gongsun Sui stared at Huangfu Qing's back, and kept shaking his head.
Meng Chi asked, "What's wrong with nephew Qiu shaking his head?"
Gongsun Xuan sighed: "One was slapped and humiliated in public, and the other was hit by some kind of soul-hunting Donghai Killing God's Light, which made me feel that the fight between Huangfu Qing and Ouyang Hong was for no reason!"
Meng Chi smiled, raised his eyebrows and said: Most people in the world just want to disagree with each other, so there are so many things for no reason!Now that brother Huangfu is gone, shall we go to Dangshan Zhanshegou?
Gongsun Sui said in surprise: "It's so easy to get this clue, why don't you go?"
Meng Chi laughed and said: "This clue won't be of much value. I think the trip to Dangshan will only cause trouble, not meritorious service!"
Gongsun Sui looked at Meng Chi with a surprised expression and asked, "Where did Uncle Meng come from?"
Meng Chi replied: "I'm just guessing, that is, as far as the red feather is concerned, didn't we find it on Ouyang Hong's head?"The result is not nothing, just get a belly inexplicable?
Gongsun Sui smiled sweetly and said: "I don't want to go around the road when I go to Dangshan. I think it's okay to take a look."Wouldn't it be great if some precious information could be obtained?
Meng Chi said with a smile: "It's natural to go, but we'd better take a workaround!"
Gongsun Sui said, "How can I be flexible?"
Meng Chi frowned and said: "I think our identity and itinerary have been exposed, and it seems that we are always under the watchful eyes of the evil opponent. It is best to change."
Gongsun Sui heard Meng Chi's meaning, and asked: Uncle Meng, do you mean that we should change our image?
Meng Chi nodded and said with a smile: Do you agree with Nephew Qiu?
Gongsun Sui laughed and said: "It's okay to change your image, but there is an obstacle in it!"
Meng Chi smiled and said: What obstacle?Nephew Qiu might as well talk and listen!
In Gongsun Su's wonderful eyes, a flash of wisdom said: "The other party is staring at us, and we suddenly change our image and lose track. Wouldn't it be more suspicious, and it will be more dangerous?"
Meng Chi glanced at Gongsun Sui, smiled and said: Nephew Qiu is right to worry, but we can try to remedy it!
Gongsun Xuan let out a cry, before he was about to ask questions, Meng Chi laughed to himself and said, "This remedy means that although we have changed our image, Meng Chi and Sun Tianchou have not disappeared, and went straight to Laoshan!"
Hearing these words suddenly, it seems that there is a Zen mechanism inside, a little puzzling?
But Gongsun Sui is a smart person. Hearing the following, he immediately asked knowingly: "Does Uncle Meng want to come to a golden cicada to escape its shell and become an incarnation outside the body?"
Meng Chi took out the wine bottle and took a sip, then said with a smile: "Does Nephew Qiu think this plan will work?"
Gongsun Sui pondered for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said: This kind of golden cicada's plan to shed its shell and transform itself outside the body is naturally wonderful, but we are not human beings after all, we can't molting, two shells are missing!
Meng Chi smiled and said: "Ke'er is not difficult, did Nephew Qiu forget to use the help of poor families?"I can inform the Henan sub-rudder to supply our two masters as spares!
Gongsun Xuan nodded and said: "There are a lot of talents in the poor family's gang. You can recruit good players from them, and you are very competent, but it seems that Uncle Meng doesn't need to send important people to the Henan branch. You can ask them to send a message to the Jiangsu branch and send two good players to Dangshan. Near Zhanshegou, waiting for dispatch!
Hearing this, Meng Chi said with a smile: "Wait until I've been to Zhanshegou in Dangshan Mountain, and then use the golden cicada's plan to get rid of its shell. Let me inform them and carefully select experts!"
The disciples of the Poor Family Gang spread all over the world, Meng Chi had already made a plan, so he immediately found a beggar from the rivers and lakes, and asked him to transfer his will to the Jiangsu sub-helm.
Assignment done, move on.Gongsun Sui remembered something, looked at Meng Chi, raised his eyebrows and asked: Uncle Meng!The practice of that hot-handed celestial woman, Mrs. Jiao, is Donghai?
Meng Chi nodded and replied: Yes, Hidden Immortal Island outside the mouth of the Yangtze River has always been regarded as a prosperous place for martial arts in the southeast.
There was a pause in the voice, he focused on Gongsun Sui and said: "Nephew Qiu asked, did he come from the East China Sea to kill the gods?"
Gongsun Ying said with a smile: "The killing of the gods in the East China Sea is only one of the reasons. Uncle Meng should still remember the four characters Qin Jianyin said about art out of the East China Sea?"
Meng Chi frowned slightly, and said knowingly with a smile: Could it be that Nephew Qiu suspects that Qin Jianyin is also a disciple of Mrs. Jiao, the hot-handed fairy?
Gongsun Ying hummed, raised his eyebrows and waited: "My conjecture is probably not wrong, because Ouyang Hong and Qin Jianyin's body skills are quite similar!"
Meng Chi praised her with a smile: "Nephew Qiu is really alert, to observe so closely!"
Gongsun Ying smiled shyly, his jade cheeks were slightly red, and said: Uncle Meng, Mo Jiamiaozan, this is not my observation ability, it is very subtle, but a coincidence, I saw Ouyang Hong and Qin Jianyin's jumping movements , very special, and have similarities, so associations occur!
Meng Chi smiled and said: Qin Jianyin
As soon as the three characters came out, there was a jingle, and from behind the corner of the cliff on the road ahead, there was a sound of reporting to the king!
Gongsun Yi turned his eyes and said quietly to Meng Chi: Uncle Meng!The mountain is so deep and steep and dangerous, how can there be a fortune teller?Could it be something strange?
Meng Chi laughed: "It's possible, nephew Qiu, do you want to try him?"
Before the words were finished, a middle-aged fortune-teller who was wearing a moon-white Gebu gown and holding a report to the king had been transferred out after Yajiao's graduation.
This fortune teller's body is quite slender, but his appearance is too ordinary, even a bit wretched!
Gongsun Sui was seven or eight feet away, cupped his fists slightly, and asked with a smile: "What's your name, sir?"A chance meeting in the deep mountains, there must be a front, can you do the math or test a word for us?
The middle-aged fortune teller hastily returned the salute with a smile: "My surname is Xiao, and I am known as Tiekou, so I am not afraid of shame, and simply take this as my career."Why does the young master want to measure characters and do fortune-telling?Is it to find things and visit people, or to ask about fleeting luck?
Gongsun Sui said: "I want to ask, Mr. Xiao, don't think it's cumbersome, please give me advice!"
Xiao Tiekou said: "Looking for things to visit people, it's best to test the characters, young master, please write one at will!"
When Gongsun Sui heard the words, he broke off a branch and wrote a letter on the ground.
Xiao Tiekou took a closer look at the official character, frowned slightly, clasped his fists to Gongsun Sui and said with a smile: "My lord, please forgive me. I am used to speaking bluntly."
Gongsun Sui smiled, stared at Xiao Tiekou, raised his eyebrows and said: "Sir, just say it straight, a gentleman asks about disasters but not blessings, and just flattery, what's the point?"
Xiao Tiekou glanced at the well-written official characters on the ground again, and said softly: "Everyone is gone, and things that are found will last forever."
Gongsun Sui said: "Sir, don't use Zen language, don't have a good idea, please teach me to understand!"
Xiao Tiekou pointed to the public character, and said seriously: Don't worry, my lord, I will explain these two words of divination in detail!
Gongsun Sui asked: "Sir, please explain the first sentence first, everyone has passed away."
Xiao Tiekou coughed, reported the king's knowledge with his hand, pointed to the official characters, and said slowly: "Mr., Gong Ye's official characters are written in such a correct manner, which shows that the person he is visiting is not Langmiao Zhongliang, but also Jianghu." heroes!
Gongsun Sui laughed and said: "Sir, I am really good at finding ideas, but I don't know how to tell that he is dead?"
Xiao Tiekou sighed and replied: "The Lord has returned to the ground, and the clues have emerged. The Lord of the Land is also a fairy, so he naturally left the dirty world long ago; but justice will never return to the dust. After the death of the man, I am afraid he will still be persecuted by Xiaoxiao." !
Gongsun Sui thought of the two people he found when he went down the mountain. His father, Gongsun Hong, was buried at the top of Taibai Peak. Sad!
Meng Chi saw that Gongsun Sui's expression was dull, and his eyes were more like tears turning slightly. He knew that she was missing her father, so he tried to interrupt him, and asked Xiao Tiekou: "Mr. ?
Xiao Tiekou said: "When this young man was writing just now, he folded a branch to write for him, and added a public next to the tree to form a pine character, so the green pine will not wither. Isn't it the search for things that last forever?"
After this interruption, Gongsun Sui was really lost in thought, came back to his senses, and praised with a smile: "Sir, you explained well, but it's a pity that I only have the heart of visiting people, but I don't have the desire to find things."
Xiao Tiekou smiled and said: "The auspicious omen has already appeared, and I can't help it. The young master's eyebrows are very happy, and he will probably get a very rare treasure in the near future!"
Now Gongsun Sui felt that this Xiao Tiekou really seemed to have two sets. Although his appearance was a bit vulgar, his words were not annoying, so he said with a smile: "If you don't mind being annoying, sir, please take a look at my fleeting luck again!"
Xiao Tiekou nodded with a smile and said, "Young Master, since I don't think I'm just talking nonsense, Xiao Tiekou should do my service, please grant Guan Zun's palm first!"
Gongsun Sui stretched out his right palm generously and unabashedly.
Xiao Tiekou was startled, and glanced at Gongsun Sui twice, then held her right palm and looked closely at the lines on it.
After reading the right palm, then at the left palm, and finally looking at Gongsun Sui's face, he focused his attention on it.
Gongsun Sui laughed and said, "Have you seen enough, sir?"I'm afraid my luck is not very good, right?
Xiao Tiekou shook his head and said: Don't worry, my lord, although your current fleeting time is a little dangerous, but the fairy bone is Shanshan, and your life is full of blessings.
Gongsun Sui laughed and said, "Just what?"Why don't you speak up, sir?
Xiao Tiekou responded solemnly: It's just that from the palm prints, the young master seems to have a lot of entanglements in terms of feelings, so it's inevitable that he's a little troubled!
公孫璿臉上一熱，秀眉方挑，孟遲已自笑道：請教先生，我仇侄的這種煩惱，可有避免之策？
筱鐵口拱手說道：公於是姓仇？還是尊名中，有個仇字？
公孫璿道：我叫孫天仇，請先生賜教趨避煩惱之道。
筱鐵口雙眉深蹙，向公孫璿搖頭說道：孫公子，你可知道命由天定
公孫璿不等他往下再說，便自接口笑道：先生既知命由天定應該也知道事在人為？
筱鐵口聞言，向公孫璿深深看了兩眼，便自雙目微闔，進入沉思狀態！
公孫璿與孟遲二人，也均保持靜肅，不去對他驚擾。
過了片刻，筱鐵口雙目一睜，向公孫璿正色說道：煩惱雖難避免，但歸宿卻可預卜。孫公子假若相信筱鐵口這點風鑒薄藝，我願送你四句話兒，日後必有應驗！
公孫璿點頭說道：先生請賜教言，自當謹記勿忘！
筱鐵口緩緩說道：公平公平，四海揚名，逢侯則吉，遇劍同心
說到此處，語音略頓，以一種極誠懇的神色，又向公孫璿叮囑說道：孫公子！你千萬莫輕視我這四句話兒，這是我從先天易數，以及你掌紋、氣色方面，綜合參詳所得！
公孫璿連連點頭，含笑說道：多謝先生，我記下來了，公平公平，四海揚名，逢侯則吉，遇劍同
說至此，忽然住口不語，眉頭微皺！因為公孫璿忽然想起最後的遇劍同心一語中的劍字，不知指的是物？抑或指的是人？萬一是人，豈不和那秦劍吟有點關係？
她心有存疑，卻不好意思為這同心卜語，深作追問，遂取出一小錠黃金，遞向筱鐵口含笑說道：筱先生不辭費心，指教甚多，這點菲薄卦禮，尚請哂納！
區區幾語，一錠黃金，這卦禮著實極重！
筱鐵口也不推辭，伸手接過，一面揣入懷中，一面目注公孫璿，微笑答道：多謝公子厚賜，這一錠黃金，足夠我半年溫飽，無需餐風宿露，涉水登山的尋生活了，筱鐵口受惠之餘，還想再奉贈數語！
公孫璿笑道：先生還有什麼玄機相示？
筱鐵口搖頭答道：在下所奉贈的話兒，與公子無關，是這位
孟遲知曉既與公孫璿無關，必然是指自己，遂在一旁接口怪笑說道：筱先生莫非看出我有甚凶兆，這幾日我頗覺肉跳心驚，好像要倒點霉呢！
筱鐵口仍向公孫璿發話地，揚眉叫道：孫公子請看，貴友的雙眉之間，是否有一線極細紅絲，時作隱現？
公孫璿對孟遲臉上，細一注目，頷首答道：不錯，但這紅絲太細，又是忽隱忽現，若非先生指點，真還不易發覺的呢
話方至此，孟遲已對筱鐵口抱拳笑道：請教筱先生，我這眉間紅絲，主何凶吉？
筱鐵口應聲答道：相當兇險，主有烈火焚身之厄！
孟遲哦了一聲，並不在意，公孫璿則憂形於色，向筱鐵口抱拳問道：先生既觸先機，可有
筱鐵口不等公孫璿再往下問，便從懷中摸出一粒朱紅蠟丸遞過，並微笑說道：公子方才說得對，命由天定，事在人為！貴友的烈火焚身之厄，無法避免，七日內必然應驗，但卻可用人力補救。這粒丹藥，專解火毒，頗有靈效，一旦禍變發生，請即時服食，便能保住性命！
公孫璿接過丹丸，筱鐵口抱拳一揖，便在報君知的叮噹聲中，飄然而去。
公孫璿目送對方身形杳後，向孟遲苦笑叫道：孟師叔，你信不信他這套鬼話？
孟遲笑道：寧可信其有，不可信其無，這類江湖術士，說好的未必準靈，說壞的卻往往準得很呢！
公孫璿把朱紅蠟丸，遞向孟遲笑道：既然相信，孟師叔便請把這粒朱紅蠟丸，好好藏起，以便消災度厄！
孟遲提過蠟丸，略一觀看，仍遞還給公孫璿，含笑說道：仇侄，這粒藥丸，不能交給我，應該請你替我收好！
公孫璿聞言一楞，孟遲又復笑道：因為我有烈火焚身之厄，若是放在我的身邊，豈不燒毀？哪裏還能夠消災保命？
公孫璿嫣然一笑，果替孟遲收起那粒朱紅蠟丸，目閃神光，揚眉說道：好！我倒要看他所斷言孟師叔的這場兇險，是否在七日內有所應驗
語音至此略頓，向孟遲注目又道：不過，他那測字之語，似乎倒頗為高明，並非隨口胡說的呢！
孟遲回憶筱鐵口所說卦語，低低吟道：好個訪人人已逝，尋物物長存，這兩句斷語，果然下得鐵硬，有點魄力！well
公孫璿道：孟師叔為何浩嘆？
孟遲答道：我是嘆息我難怪身為乞丐，果然天生就一條窮苦之命。
公孫璿瞪著兩隻黑白分明的大眼，愕視孟遲問道：孟師叔，此話怎講？
孟遲苦笑說道：仇侄請想，我們彼此同行，理應福禍與共、利害一致！誰知你竟有尋物物長存的得寶之福，我卻有烈火焚身的飛災橫禍！
公孫璿忍俊不禁地，苦笑抬頭說道：孟師叔不要氣，這等江湖術士之言，多半胡扯！
孟遲正色說道：多半不是胡扯！這筱鐵口容貌雖嫌猥瑣，但精神卻如古月蒼松，與尋常術士迥異，故而仇侄切莫對其輕視，應該把他所贈你公平公平，四海揚名，逢侯則吉，遇劍同心等語，牢牢謹記才好！
這位游龍俠丐始終認為秦劍吟，人品既美，武功又高，家世也相當不錯，遂想為公孫璿撮成這段良緣，在說到遇劍同心之際，特別向公孫璿投過一瞥神秘眼色！
公孫璿似乎領會了孟遲的關切心意，淡然一笑說道：靈與不靈，日後自知！如今若對這種虛無飄渺之語，過分推敲，反而徒亂人意，自墜魔障！
孟遲知道公孫璿雖是北嶽神尼弟子，但妙音庵主，並未為她落髮，更未賜給佛家名號，亦未改易佛門裝束，分明視她為俗家傳人，不是三寶弟子。
既未受戒，則女孩子勢必有所歸宿。孟遲認為秦劍吟一切皆與公孫璿匹配，委實是覓之不易的理想對象！
但公孫璿對秦劍吟，偏偏極為淡漠，好似無甚興趣！
孟遲起初有點奇怪？但轉念一想，認為或許是女孩兒家臉皮於薄，不好意思流露出內心真情！
此事只要自己善加撮合，得便不妨向秦劍吟洩漏出公孫璿的真實身份，叫他溫存體貼，盡力追求。自己再覓機躲開，給他們一段單獨相處機會，必將水到渠成，感情大為增進
孟遲自以為想通究竟，智珠已得，遂不暫時提秦劍吟，與公孫璿雙雙往蘇豫交界處的碭山趕去。
鎮平至碭山之間，路途原不太遠，孟遲與公孫璿的腳程又快，他們沿途眺覽山川景色，並未十分急趕，也不過走了三四日光陰，便告到達。
碭山在江蘇省碭山縣東，山勢並不十分高峻，但在歷史上，卻頗有名，因為漢高祖劉邦，曾隱居芒碭山澤皇藏峪，遂目為興龍之地！
皇藏峪為漢高祖隱居之地，斬蛇溝則更相傳為赤帝子斬蛇起義之處。
孟遲見已到碭山，遂向公孫璿笑道：仇侄
兩字才出，公孫璿已霍然轉身，目注一叢林木，沉聲喝道：林內何人！請出一會，不必這樣鬼鬼祟祟！
語音方落，林內果然閃出了兩條人影，向孟遲拜倒在地。
這兩人，是一個中年乞丐，和一個年約十八九歲的少年花郎。
公孫璿想起孟遲要利用窮家幫助力，混淆群魔耳目，便知這兩名花子，定是窮家幫江蘇分舵派來聽候差遣的出群好手！
孟遲認得中年乞丐，名叫謝三，少年花郎則是窮家幫幫主的心愛弟子杜丹，遂含笑問道：謝三兄與丹兒少禮，你們整日隨侍幫主，怎會
杜丹起立，賠笑答道：恰巧幫主巡視江蘇分舵，並接獲孟師伯傳語，知道事情必非尋常，遂命謝三叔及小侄趕來恭候師伯差遣！萬一仍嫌人手不夠
孟遲笑道：夠了，夠了！來來來，我先替你們引介一位高人
說完，伸手指著公孫璿，揚眉笑道：這是我世侄天仇老弟。他年歲雖輕，卻絕藝驚人，至少要比我高明百倍！
公孫璿急忙遜謝，心中並覺這位游龍俠丐孟師叔，著實老成謹慎，連對他丐幫心腹，也不洩露自己的真正身份！
孟遲轉身指著謝三，微笑說道：他姓謝，以行為字，就叫謝三，號稱浪裏黑條，水性之佳，在窮家幫中，可坐第一把交椅！
公孫璿從稱呼上聽出謝三與孟遲輩份相同，遂抱拳叫聲：謝老人家，並連道：久仰！
謝三失笑說道：孫老弟不要客氣，浪裏白條張順，是梁山泊有名好漢，你或可久仰其名？至於我這浪裏黑條四字，不單涉嫌掠美，也根本不入高人之耳的呢！
孟遲又指著杜丹說道：仇侄，這位杜丹老弟，是窮家幫當代幫主的心愛弟子之一，你猜猜他除了一般武學以外，還有樁什麼特殊絕藝？
這特殊絕藝四字，著實把公孫璿考住，眉頭微皺，目注杜丹，打量幾眼，卻仍猜不出孟遲語中含意。
杜丹突然臉上一紅，向孟遲赧然叫道：孟師伯，你留點口德好麼！何必出我洋相？
孟遲笑道：什麼叫出你洋相？我是生平不解藏人善，到處逢人說項斯呢
說完，邊與公孫璿等，走入林中，邊自笑道：這位杜老弟，曾獲神偷青睞，他的手上功夫，是稱妙絕當今！
杜丹苦笑叫道：孟師伯，你老人家別罵我了，照你這麼一說，我豈不成了專門端煙袋拔雞毛的下流小賊！
公孫璿聞言之下，靈機一動，向孟遲揚眉笑道：孟師叔，杜丹兄的這樁絕技，對我們似有大用？
孟遲側顧杜丹，怪笑叫道：丹兒聽見了麼？你的用處大呢！但不知我這位仇侄想叫他偷件什麼東西？
公孫璿笑道：什麼東西都行，反正只要是對方身上的任何物件，都會具有重大參考價值！
孟遲點頭說道：對，丹兒你替我多偷
杜丹臉色微赧地，苦笑皺眉說道：孟師伯，你要我偷誰呢？總不能見人就偷，像個偷竊狂般，漫無目標地，胡亂下手！
孟遲微微一笑，遂把此行情況，向謝三及杜丹二人，大略說了一遍。
謝三聽完，含笑問道：孟兄是要我扮作你的模樣，要杜老弟扮作孫老弟的模樣，前去斬蛇溝麼？
孟遲頷首答道：正是如此！我和仇侄再復隱身暗隨你們，這樣行事，定容易發覺對方秘密！
謝三笑道：這方法叫做金蟬脫殼，身外化身！的確是一樁絕妙的好計，饒令對方再奸再滑，也不容易想到的呢！
孟遲含笑說道：事不宜遲，我們就立即改扮，去往斬蛇溝中看看！
謝三與杜丹聞言，遂依照孟遲及公孫璿的形容，實施細密化裝。
孟遲、公孫璿，等謝杜二人化裝完畢以後，也自開始易容。
他們的易容，因不須裝扮特定形貌，比較簡單，只是化裝成一老一少，兩個遊方道士。
改扮完畢，孟遲注目謝三，含笑問道：謝三兄，碭山已屬江蘇分舵管區，你知不知道斬蛇溝中，住著什麼樣的人物？
謝三應聲答道：我和杜丹老弟，均未來過此地，但既奉幫主派遣，又和孟兄指定在此相見，遂向江蘇分舵的主持人，問過一切有關情況。
孟遲讚道：謝兄真夠細心，但不知江蘇分舵的主持人，是如何說法？
謝三答道：他說根據所知斬蛇溝中，有座莊院，莊主似是武林人物，但身份神秘，姓名從不告人，即令偶爾出莊，臉上也戴了人皮面具，不讓外人見著他的廬山面目！
公孫璿聽得秀眉一挑，冷笑說道：那就對了，這廝既然見不得人，顯然無利有弊！
杜丹笑道：不管這位神秘莊主，究竟是何身份？我們也要進入斬蛇溝中一探！孟師伯請指示步驟
孟遲接口說道：你和謝兄先走，我和仇侄後跟，至於採取何種方法，則不必預定，見機而行，反正非把那位神秘莊主，逼出來與我們相見不可！
杜丹目光一轉，軒眉笑道：必要時，我們甚至可以互相爭吵，騙也把他騙出！
孟遲失笑說道：可以，可以，我已說過見機而行，不拘任何手段，包括你的絕世神偷在內！
杜丹聳了聳肩，向謝三苦笑叫道：謝三叔，孟師伯的將令已下，我們打頭陣吧！
謝三點了點頭，遂與業已扮成公孫璿形容的杜丹，一同緩步走出林外。
這一老一少，都是窮家幫中的傑出奇才，心思極細，他們一面緩緩走向斬蛇溝，一面共凝神注意四外，暗察可有江湖人物跟蹤，以及任何可疑跡象？
但們雖然注意，卻未發現任何異狀，一路之間，平靜已極！
到了斬蛇溝口，謝三與杜丹遂特別注意周圍地勢。
這是兩峰夾峙間的一道山溝，其實也可說是一道山谷。
入口略寬，足有數丈，但進溝之後，卻越來越覺狹隘，路徑並頗有轉折。
謝、杜二人，入溝六七丈，經過兩重轉折，發見前路更狹，並有一片陡峭石壁，擋住正面。
他們正想由壁下小徑，轉將過去，突然聽得有人含笑說道：兩位請回吧！又道：不必向前，這溝中景色平凡，無甚可觀之處！
隨著話聲，有位青衣老叟，從峭壁以下，飄然轉出。
杜丹略抱雙拳，揚眉朗聲說道：多謝老人家指點，但這斬蛇溝，是漢高祖的起義興龍勝地，我們慕名而來，哪有不入內一遊之理？
青衫老叟閃動雙目，向謝三、杜丹略
