Chapter 7 Chapter VII

Du Dan saw that although Gongsun Sui had eliminated the two culprits, he had no arrogance, and said with a smile: "Miss Gongsun not only possesses unique magic skills, but also has outstanding wisdom. You may wish to speculate first, and guess what kind of other culprits are?" Gongsun Sui pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said with a charming smile: "There are too many types of things in nature. I can't guess this matter. I just think that the nature of the three evils will not be the same. Brother Du, what's your opinion?" Du Dan raised his eyebrows and said: I think that among all kinds of flying animals, humans and insects are the most important.

Gongsun Sui turned his eyes and said with a sweet smile: I know why Brother Du made such an inference, and I agree with you. Du Dan glanced at Gongsun Sui, his eyes seemed to contain disbelief that she could guess the meaning of his inference! Gongsun Sui laughed and said: "Brother Du, is it because the climate in the dead soul stream is humid, foggy and cloudy, it is difficult to see the sky all year round, and it is easy to breed snakes and insects, so he infers that the other evil may be a rare insect with a very poisonous poison!" Du Dan sighed: Miss Gongsun is really too smart, that's exactly what I thought, and on the way down, I saw some signs, which seemed to be compatible with this speculation!

Gongsun Sui asked: "Brother Du's so-called sign, is it a webbed paw print in the recess of the cliff beside us when we first met the one-eyed jade belt snake?" Du Dan thought it was his own unique opinion that he hadn't said yet, but he didn't expect that it was still under the silent observation of Gongsun Sui. She couldn't help but replied in admiration: Miss Gongsun is really perceptive, there are only webbed paw prints, which seem to be left by a giant lizard, but for some reason, only one of the four paw marks was seen, and nothing else was found! Gongsun Sui smiled and said: "There are so many strange things in this ghost stream that I can't explain them one by one. Such a dangerous and secluded place is actually the favorite place for Gai Dai's evil spirits to occupy. Brother Du probably infers that the evil one may be a person because of this!"

Du Dan nodded again and again, his brows gathered together slightly, and said in response: "Although I have this speculation, I have been planning secretly all the way, but I can't think of any evil person." Without waiting for Du Dan to finish, Gongsun Sui smiled and said: "Three mountains and five mountains are deep, and the four seas and eight wildernesses are vast. I don't know how many strange people, heroic and vicious people are hidden in them. With our little experience, how can we know all about it?" ?Therefore, Brother Du doesn't need to think about it at all, as long as we swim all over the ghost stream, we can get rid of the last evil, and our merits and virtues will be complete, and we will benefit a lot of martial arts figures!

While the two were talking and laughing, they had reached the bottom of the dead soul stream. During this general process, it was extremely calm and there was no danger at all! Du Dan scratched his scalp and said with a wry smile: We have reached the end of the land, but the rest of the evil and the so-called Three Treasures are still far away. Gongsun Sui laughed and said, "Brother Du, don't be impatient. This mountain stream has twists and turns. Let's go along the stream and search for it." Du Dan asked: How to search for the law?To the right, or to the left?Is it a separate search, or a joint search?

Gongsun Sui pointed to the towering cliff not far to the left, and said with a smile: "The left side has reached the end, and it can be reached in a day. It seems that there is nothing to search for?"Brother Du, let's go to the right with me and enjoy the tour, okay? Du Dan naturally followed her advice and walked to the right together. Turning around a corner of the cliff, Gongsun Sui suddenly smelled a faint fragrance in his nose, fixed his eyes on Du Dan, raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Brother Du, have you heard it?"What kind of fragrance is this? Du Dan also smelled it, and replied: This is the fragrance of flowers, but I don't know if it is an orchid in the empty valley?Or something unexpectedly vicious?

Gongsun Sui laughed and said: "Brother Du, could it be that he was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and his suspicions were too extreme. I can guarantee that the scent that emanates is a strange flower, not a vicious thing!" Du Dan was surprised: "Why did Miss Gongsun make such a decisive conclusion?" Gongsun Sui had pear dimples on his cheeks, and replied with a sweet smile: I judge by the fragrance, because girls are often more sensitive to the fragrance of flowers than boys! Hearing this, Du Dan took another two sniffs, nodded and said: "Yes, I also smell the fragrance of this flower is very quiet, it doesn't look like something evil and poisonous."

Gongsun Sui laughed and said, "Since Brother Du agrees with me, let's look for this flower to prove what we think, shall we?" Knowing that girls love flowers by nature, Du Dan naturally nodded and smiled.Following the fragrance of the flowers, the two of them walked for a long time, and found that the elegant and pleasant fragrance came from a dark cave! The cave is under a cliff, with a radius of about several feet, although it is very narrow, it can allow people to enter and exit. Du Dan smiled and said, "We've reached the end of the land, shall we go into the cave and have a look?"

Gongsun Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled, and entered the cave first. Du Dan was afraid that she might lose something, so he followed her closely, only feeling that the fragrance became more and more serene, making people feel refreshed! Gongsun Sui frowned slightly, thought for a while, and shouted to Du Danjiao with a smile: "Brother Du, if my expectations are not bad, we may be able to obtain one of the so-called three treasures!" Du Dan let out a cry, looked at Gongsun Sui and said, "Is this fragrance of flowers a treasure?" Gongsun Sui just nodded, the hole in front of him opened wide, and the fragrant flower was already in sight.

It turns out that the cave has become a small valley, surrounded by cliffs, with a height of four to fifty feet, but there is a small hole at the top, which penetrates into the sky. There are strange trees growing around the cliff, and the fallen leaves are piled up, but they are not piled up, they are only flattened into a square of several feet. Across the several feet of fallen leaves, on the mountain wall facing the way of Gongsun Sui and Du Dan, there grew a strange purple flower shaped like a lotus! The flower is shaped like a bowl, and it grows from a crack in the stone. It has no branches and leaves, which looks very strange!

Gongsun Sui smiled all over his face, raised his eyebrows at Du Dan and asked, "Brother Du, do you recognize this strange flower?" Du Dan shook his head shyly, and said with a smile: "I don't know, Miss Gongsun, please add Mingjiao!" Gongsun Sui smiled and said: "It's also the first time I've seen it, but I heard from my mentor that this strange purple flower shaped like a giant lotus is called Tianxiang Bowl." Hearing the name of Tianxiang Bowl, Du Dan was shocked and said: Could it be a special product of Tianzhu that has great detoxification effect, taking it can greatly increase people's internal strength? Gongsun Sui nodded and smiled and said: "This heavenly incense bowl is indeed a special product of Tianzhu, the Buddhist country, and it is easy to see. I don't know how a flower grows under this stream of dead souls?"It is said that this flower needs at least one year to mature, and it must be taken off and eaten when it is in full bloom. Du Dan continued: "Miss Gongsun, how can you say that I am very blessed?" Gongsun Sui said with a charming smile: To tell you the truth, Brother Du, my little sister was able to achieve this achievement in just ten years, firstly because she was taught by her mentor, secondly, her aptitude is not bad, and thirdly, because of the deep kindness of her teacher, I have served a nine-day fairy orchid that can almost be reborn, so I no longer need to take this incense bowl Hearing this, Du Dan raised his eyebrows and said: Miss Gongsun doesn't need it, but you can take it back to the hotel and give it to Uncle Meng! Seeing Du Dan's filial piety, Gongsun Sui nodded secretly, and said with a sweet smile: "I said just now that you must take the incense bowl when it is in full bloom, so that you can greatly increase your internal energy. The aura has dissipated, so we can only prepare a little for healing and detoxification, as a medicine! Du Dan said: Uncle Meng happened to be covered in burns all over his body. Gongsun Sui didn't wait for him to go on, he laughed to himself and said: "This day's incense bowl is also called Qibao Qihua, and it has seven petals. Brother Du only needs to eat four petals to greatly increase his internal strength, and the remaining three petals can be taken back. For Uncle Meng's healing and future use.Little sister, tell the truth, don't be polite anymore! Hearing Gongsun Sui's words, Du Dan knew that it would be hypocrisy to evade, so he cupped his fists at her, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Gongsun, for your guidance. My younger brother respectfully obeys Fang's order. Come and try it out, can you have this kind of blessing?" After finishing speaking, just as he was about to move forward, Gongsun Sui laughed again and said: "Brother Du, you don't have to go in person, how about letting me pick it up as a gift?" Du Dan wanted to answer that he dared not work for Gongsun Sui, but in a flash, he nodded and said, "Okay, is there any taboo when picking this rare flower of the Buddha Kingdom? Miss Gongsun is afraid that I will offend you ignorantly, and ruin this place." Is it a treasure of heaven, material and earth that is loved by the two auras? Gongsun Sui laughed and said: "Brother Du guessed half right. There is only one taboo when picking this heavenly incense bowl, that is, not to touch things of gold and iron." Du Dan continued: "My little brother originally wanted to jump through it, so I reached out to take it!" Gongsun Sui smiled and said: "But there are too many weirdnesses in the ghost stream, and the treasures of heaven, material and earth that are favored by the two auras are often guarded by extremely vicious foreign objects, so my younger sister thinks that it may be more appropriate for me to pick them up as a gift." a little! There was a slight pause in the voice, eyes congealed, looked at Du Dan, smiled and said: "Brother Du, we are friends of the same spirit, you have to be tolerant, don't blame the little girl for being arrogant!" Du Dan nodded and smiled, "What did Miss Gongsun say?"The younger brother knows that the fluorescent light of a candle is incomparable to the bright moon in the middle of the sky. For example, if I had been entangled in that piece of murderous moss just now, I would have died a long time ago! Gongsun Sui smiled at Du Dan and walked forward. She didn't have to fly to pick it up, but walked forward slowly, which was exactly what Gongsun Sui was cautious about. Because she felt that if she jumped to pick it up, in case she was hit by some rare and vicious thing, it seemed easier to prevent it than being down-to-earth! Unexpectedly, things in the world are often unexpected, Gongsun Sui was so cautious, but made a mistake, and almost gave his life to this stream of dead souls. It turned out that the fallen leaves piled up in a radius of several zhang in front of him were tangible and intangible, and had long been reduced to ashes. Under the leaves, it's not the ground, it's a swamp! This swamp is about several feet deep, and the mud in the swamp is extremely poisonous, and it is almost fatal if it touches the skin. As soon as Gongsun Sui took a step and stepped on the fallen leaves, he felt weak under his feet, and his whole body immediately fell into the ground! She was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly drew up her true energy, intending to stand up! But the mud in the swamp can't resist the slightest gravity, and he can't use his strength. Gongsun Sui's Qi Condensation Technique intends to pull it up, but it falls even faster! Fortunately, when Gongsun Sui's feet were empty, Wuxiang Shengong had already been sent out with his thoughts, and the electricity spread all over his body, otherwise he would faint and die when he entered the mud, and his whole body would be covered with poisonous mud. When Du Dan saw it, he was terrified, and quickly shouted: "Miss Gongsun, you separate your hands, concentrate your strength and strike down, try to use the rebound force to stand up!" Gongsun Sui didn't panic when he was in danger, and replied with a smile: "I'll give it a try, but the mud in the swamp seems to be extremely poisonous. Brother Du, step back." Du Dan floated away like a word, and retreated eight or nine feet away. Gongsun Xuan flipped his palms, stretched out and struck down! With two whirring sounds, the poisonous mud splashed in all directions in shock, if Du Dan hadn't retreated first, it would really affect him. But the thin mud has no anti-shock effect, and Gongsun Sui's body is still sinking down. She was deeply afraid that Du Dan would rescue him indiscriminately in a hurry and cause other dangers, so she sent a voice to comfort Du Dan and shouted: "Brother Du, don't worry, I have the magic power of Wuxiang to protect me, the poisonous mud in the swamp is helpless, wait for it to sink Get to the bottom of the swamp and think of a way! At first Du Dan thought that Gongsun Sui was deliberately comforting himself, but when he remembered that when she was wrapped up in the murderous moss, she also relied on Wuxiang magical powers to not only protect her body, but also destroy the murderous moss, so she somewhat believed it. At this time, Gongsun Sui's body had completely sunk into the swamp, and he was completely submerged! Du Dan focused his eyes on the place, and his heart widened, and he increased his belief from a little bit to a full belief. It is said that he had seen Gongsun Sui and had died, so he should be very anxious, why did he feel relieved instead? It turned out that although the people of Gongsun Sui sank, the swamp was thick with mud, but it did not close, and a cave about two feet in diameter appeared like a huge whirlpool. It can be seen from this that Gongsun Sui is not exaggerating, her non-phase magical skill is not only enough to protect the body, but also holds the mud and prevents it from closing, leaving a retreat in this swamp. In fact, when Du Dan's heart was a little wider, it was the time when Gongsun Sui was anxious and secretly felt danger! Because, she doesn't know how deep this swamp is? If the swamp is five feet deep, then she waits until she sinks to the bottom of the swamp, follows the escape route left, and vertically goes as high as she can, and she can go out of the swamp for about two or three feet. Using these two zhangs, two or three, Gongsun Sui can fly and change, display his ingenious body skills, escape from the danger, and avoid falling into the swamp again! If the depth of the swamp exceeds seven feet, if Gongsun Zhen's ability to move upwards is exceeded, there will be no chance of life, and this peerless heroine girl will be buried under the poisonous mud! Therefore, when Gongsun Sui fell to more than three feet, but before reaching the bottom, her heart jumped a little bit, feeling that her fate was unpredictable! Du Dan didn't think of this level, he only approached the edge of the swamp, staring at the hole on the surface of the swamp that was forced out by the Wuxiang magic skill, full of guilt. What he felt guilty about was that Gongsun Sui was involved in this strange danger in order to pick a heavenly incense bowl for himself! Even though Gongsun Sui was able to get out of danger by relying on the Wuxiang magical skill, this kindness really made him never repay him in his life! When Du Dan felt extremely guilty, it was also when Gongsun Sui felt at ease. Because she had already got her feet on the ground, she sank to the bottom of the marsh, and the calculated depth was about four, seven, eight, less than five feet. But although Gongsun Sui had made up his mind, he didn't go out immediately. First of all, she gathered the Wuxiang Divine Art to protect her body and force out of the mud hole. Naturally, it was not easy and it was quite strenuous. For the sake of prudence, when she is on the ground, she has to slightly adjust her energy, and then regain her strength. Secondly, Gongsun Sui sank to the bottom of the swamp, his eyes flashed for a moment, and when he caught a glimpse of the mud, there seemed to be a flash of black light! The mud on the surface of the swamp was thin, and the bottom of the swamp was thick. Even though Gongsun Sui's eyes were sharp, he could only see the gleaming black light, like a round iron rod? Gongsun Sui's heart moved, and he thought to himself that next to the rare treasures, every time there is a strange danger, is there no strange treasure in the strange danger?Perhaps this round iron rod is a Thinking of this, he simply moved two steps to the right, stretched out his hand to hold the iron rod, and pulled it out from the mud. When I got it in my hand, I realized that it was not an iron rod, but a black short halberd about three feet long. But although the halberd is short, its weight is heavy, even if it doesn't weigh a hundred catties, it can still weigh eighty or ninety catties. At this time, Du Dan was very concerned because he hadn't seen Gongsun Sui for a long time, so he spoke in the marsh and shouted in panic: Miss Gongsun, Miss Gongsun Gongsun Sui smiled and said, "Brother Du, don't worry, I can come up soon!" Most of the girls only like to use light weapons such as swords, how can they care about spears and halberds? Therefore, after Gongsun Sui got the heavy short halberd, he didn't pay attention to it, and wanted to throw it away! But after hearing what Du Dan said, she changed her mind again. Gongsun Sui felt that although he didn't like to use this short halberd, it might be useful to give it to Du Dan or Meng Chi! At least, this can also be regarded as a commemorative object of his own adventures. Gongsun Sui made up his mind, because the short halberd was extremely heavy and inconvenient to carry, so he waved his hands vigorously first, and threw it violently up from the mud hole forced out by Wuxiang Divine Art! This throw shocked Du Dan! Because, Du Dan saw Gongsun Yi sinking into the marsh for a while, and he didn't know if it was the end, and he was paying attention. However, although he was worried, he was not anxious, because the mud hole was not closed, which shows that Gongsun Sui can still perform the magic skill of Wuxiang, and there is no danger for people. Du Dan was watching, when a black light suddenly flew out of the mud hole with a strange whistling sound! How could he have expected that Gongsun Zhen would get a short halberd in this strange poisonous swamp, of course he was surprised and thought that some vicious monster appeared! Du Dan was full of surprises, and Wu Guang was coming very fiercely, so he was naturally scared and backed away Zhang Xu. With a clang sound of Qingyue dragon's chant, the short halberd penetrated deeply into the stone wall of the cave roof, leaving only the six or seven inch long halberd handle outside. Only then did Du Dan realize that the black light he saw was a weapon, so he dodged again and rushed to the edge of the swamp, raising his breath and shouting loudly: Miss Gongsun The four characters came out, and Gongsun Sui's slender figure had already emerged from the mud hole, like a peerless flying fairy, piercing through the air! The marsh was five feet deep, but Gongsun Sui was seven feet high. Taking advantage of the distance of two feet above the mud, she spread her hands slightly, and turned her body slightly to one side. She bent and stretched her feet again, and flew away obliquely. But instead of slanting down to Du Dan's side, she pounced on the rock wall at the bottom of the cave where the heavenly fragrance bowl and strange flowers bloomed. When he reached the wall, Gongsun Sui took off the heavenly incense bowl with one hand, kicked his feet on the wall slightly, and a golden carp pierced through the waves, crossed several feet of mud, and landed lightly on Du Dan's side. This lightness skill, this body technique, is so light and nimble that it doesn't look like a person, just like a bird. Du Dan wanted to praise him, but he didn't know what kind of compliment he should use. While he was a little dazed, Gongsun Sui took four of the seven-petal heavenly incense bowl and handed it to him with a smile. Du Dan had to pick it up, but after picking it up in his hand, he was so grateful that his cheeks filled with tears! Gongsun Sui laughed and said, "Brother Du, hurry up and eat!"It would be a pity if it is delayed, the aura of the petals will be lost, and the efficacy will be reduced. Du Dan knew very well that what Gongsun Sui said was true, so he had no choice but to chew and swallow the strange flowers in the four-petal heavenly incense bowl slowly! The flowers are just in the mouth, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant. After a little bit of chewing, it turns into a puff of fragrant jade liquid, which flows down the throat, making the whole body extremely comfortable. Gongsun Bingxue was smart, saw that Du Dan's face was quite ashamed, so he smiled tenderly and called out softly: "Brother Du, you can eat it at ease, I have left three petals to save the world and the living in the future." At this point in the conversation, he suddenly gasped and asked Du Dan: "Brother Du, where is the short halberd I threw up just now?"how At first Du Dan felt that his whole body was extremely comfortable, but now he felt that his limbs, especially the joints, were gradually becoming sore and swollen! He knew that this was the effect of the medicine, and he had to use his own true energy to induce it, so that it would be easy to fully absorb it without wasting it. Therefore, he immediately sat down cross-legged, adjusted his qi and practiced martial arts. He didn't answer Gongsun Sui's question, but just stretched out his hand and pointed upwards. Gongsun Yi raised his head slightly, and saw the handle of the halberd in the stone. She put away the rest of the three-petal heavenly incense bowl first, and then stretched out her body a bit, and stuck it on the top stone of the cave with her superb gecko kung fu. The short halberd was more than three feet long, but now there are only six or seven inches left, which shows that the depth of entering the stone is three feet four or five. Although Gongsun Suiren reached the top of the cave, he still had to spend a lot of effort to pull out his short halberd and float down. At this time, Du Dan already stood with a smile on his face. Gongsun Sui smiled and said, "How is Brother Du, do you want me to teach the exercises from the body, and then help you?" Du Dan didn't wait for Gongsun Sui to finish, he shook his hands and said with a smile: "My little brother has benefited a lot, and the spiritual effect of the incense bowl is easy to absorb today, so I don't dare to work on Miss Gongsun anymore." Focusing his eyes, he changed the subject and asked in surprise: Miss Gongsun, where is this short halberd from? Gongsun Sui replied with a charming smile: "I found it from the bottom of the swamp, so I threw it up. According to the depth of the stone just now, the sharpness and power of this short halberd are quite impressive!" Du Dan took it with his hand, took a closer look, and said in surprise: How can ordinary steel be so heavy, could it be that this short halberd is all made of cold iron that has been in the sea for thousands of years? Gongsun Sui laughed and said: "If the whole body is made of cold iron, then this short halberd can also be regarded as a treasure!" Du Dan nodded and smiled, waved his short halberd casually, and swept towards the stone wall in the cave! The halberd's edge is everywhere, forcibly drawing a deep groove on the entire stone wall, which is three or four inches long. Du Dan shouted: Miss Gongsun, did you see it?My judgment may not be wrong!If this short halberd were used by someone with peerless arms, its might would never be inferior to ancient gods such as Ganjiang Moxie! Gongsun Sui glanced at him, and asked with a smile: "Brother Du, are you good at using it?" Du Dan replied with shame: "Where can I use this rare treasure halberd?" Gongsun Sui smiled and said, "Why don't you deserve it?"After taking the heavenly incense bowl, Brother Du has shown that his internal energy has greatly increased. I saw that when you were wielding the short halberd just now, it seemed effortless! Du Dan said with a wry smile: It is fine for a short time, but it is still too heavy for long-term use, and cannot exert the power of this precious halberd! Speaking of this, his face straightened, he looked at Gongsun Sui and said: "Miss Gongsun, as the saying goes: I dare not thank you for your great kindness. After taking the heavenly incense bowl, my younger brother has been reborn and has benefited deeply. If you want to give me something again, It is to force me to flee in shame, unable to follow around! Seeing the sincerity in his words, Gongsun Sui had to take back the short halberd, and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Du, our trip was worthwhile. We discovered the so-called three evils and three treasures in this dead soul stream together!" Du Dan flexed his fingers and said: The one-eyed jade-belt snake is one evil, the murderous moss is one evil, and the other is evil. Gongsun Yi pointed to the five-zhang poisonous mud in front of him, and said, "This mud is probably the most powerful of the three evils, and it cannot be removed by manpower!" Du Dan laughed and said: "Although the swamp cannot be removed, we can set up a sign to warn people who come later, or simply spend some effort to seal this cave!" Gongsun Xuan nodded and said: "Brother Du, this plan is very good. I plan to use two prongs, first set up a sign, and then seal the cave, lest some martial arts figures come here and turn into ghosts at the bottom of the swamp!" Du Dan turned his gaze, looked at Gongsun Sui, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The three murderers have indeed been discovered, but there seems to be one missing of the three treasures. There are only heavenly fragrance bowls and strange flowers and cold iron short halberds in front of us." Before the words were finished, Gongsun Sui continued with a charming smile: Brother Du, did you forget the scabbard you found in the cave of the one-eyed jade-belted snake? Du Dan smiled and said: That is the sheath, not the sword! Gongsun Sui said: "It's right to have a sheath, because if there is a sheath, there must be a sword, but the sword has turned into a dragon, or it has been taken away by others!"We found the three evils and obtained the three treasures. This trip has been very complete. Brother Du will not be so greedy that he wants to connect with those things. Du Dan laughed, and said, "How can my younger brother have the desire to be greedy?"Let's set up the sign, the cave is closed, and we should go back quickly, Master Meng is probably getting annoyed by waiting! After finishing speaking, he found a long long stone, and Gongsun Suining extended his fingers, engraved the stone as a book, and wrote the four characters of "Qian Poisonous Marsh". Du Dan set up a huge stone three feet in front of the marsh, and he and Gongsun Ying withdrew from the cave together to seal the cave together. While transporting stones to seal the cave, he smiled at Gongsun Sui, "Miss Gongsun, the so-called rumors are often untrue, so don't be completely convinced, such as the theory of the three evils." Gongsun Sui laughed and said, "How can the theory of the three evils be unbelievable?"Haven't we all seen it, removed the other, and closed the one? What I mean is that the number of the three culprits is not accurate, and it is a bit too small, because until now, the webbed paw prints found in the wall of the way of origin are still a mystery, and we have not seen any giant lizards? Gongsun Sui frowned slightly, suddenly turned his left hand sharply, and slapped Du Dan lightly on the shoulder. Although she used the internal soft energy, although it was a light slap, but under the undercurrent of potential, Du Dan was shocked to stagger three or four steps away! Du Dan exclaimed in surprise: Miss Gongsun The four words were just sent, and I was startled, and quickly turned my head to look behind me. It turned out that Du Dan discovered that Gongsun Sui's left hand was holding two black nail-shaped objects about four inches long and as thick as human fingers. Only then did he know that Gongsun Sui had found out that there was a surprise attack, so he took the nails, fearing that he would lose ground, so he shook himself away. Du Dan was frightened and ashamed at the same time, because he was in danger and didn't realize it. If Gongsun Sui hadn't been alert and quick, he might have been pierced through his back and turned into a nailed ghost. But since the flying nails are about four inches long and as thick as a human finger, they are so silent when they are fired?It shows that the other party is also a bit scary! Du Dan was astonished and ashamed, and when he looked back, he couldn't help being a little surprised! A few feet behind him and Gongsun Sui, there is a rare animal crawling. The length of this monster, from head to tail, is one foot, two to three feet. It looks like a gecko, and its skin is gray and black. It really is a huge lizard! On the lizard's back sat a strange man. This person is definitely less than four feet tall, he looks like a child, but his face is full of wrinkles and his beard is three inches long, but he is clearly an old man. This strange man was wearing a gray-black robe that was the same color as the lizard skin, but the skin on his face and arms was so white that it made people palpitate, without the slightest trace of blood! Gongsun Sui looked at the black nail in his hand, raised his eyebrows, stared at the monster riding a lizard, and asked coldly: "Who is your lord?"Well, why use a vicious hidden weapon to plot against us suddenly? The strange man's face was as cold as ice, and he didn't answer. He just stretched out his skinny palm, which was not as white as a living person, and patted the huge lizard's head lightly. When the lizard opened its mouth, a cloud of poisonous sand suddenly spewed out, covering Gongsun Sui and Du Dan with a strange smell. Du Dan knew that there must be a strange poison in the sand, and he was waiting to do something. He called out to Gongsun Sui: "Miss Gongsun, be careful in the sand." The word "poisonous" in the sand has not yet been exported, but Gongsun Sui has already smiled, and waved his sleeves to the sky! Immediately, not only was the strange fishy smell no longer smelled, but also the large expanse of poisonous sand fell to the ground a few feet away from Gongsun Sui and Du Dan! Seeing this, the short and strange man riding on the back of the lizard frowned slightly, showing a slight shock, and slowly raised his right palm! Gongsun Sui was calm and stable, standing as tall as a mountain, and only stared at the other party with two sharp eyes that were neither arrogant nor discouraged. The strange man raised his right palm, and pressed it to Gongsun Sui. Gongsun Sui shouted: "Brother Du, let's dodge and give him a slap!" The voice just came out, and the person had already pulled Du Dan away eight feet. The strange man's martial arts are extremely powerful, as soon as the two of them moved away, a palm print appeared deep on the stone wall where they were standing just now! The weirdo refused to relax, and the follower raised his hand again! Gongsun Sui seemed to have guessed what the other party was thinking, as soon as his toes touched the ground, he turned back backwards, and both of them arrived at the same place with Du Dan. Then, the strange man's second palm was in vain again, and with a click, a giant tree hugging itself broke in response to the palm! There was another expression change on the strange man's face, and the corners of his mouth were lifted up, as if expressing surprise or sneering? Just when the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, he raised his left and right palms at the same time! This time, Gongsun Sui no longer dodged, but took a step forward, blocking Du Dan behind him. The strange man turned his palms together, and threw his strength towards Gongsun Sui three times to volley into the air. Gongsun Sui also turned his palms up and pushed outward slightly in the way of bowing his head and worshiping Buddha. The palm strength of the two sides was strong, and when they met in the air, the same result was produced! The so-called same result is that Gongsun Sui standing on the ground and the strange man riding on the lizard's back both trembled slightly and swayed! Strange to say, after the figure of the strange man swayed slightly, he slowly sank to the ground! In an instant, even the man and the giant lizard sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace! Du Dan snorted, and when he looked back, he couldn't help being surprised again! Just as he was noticing the weirdness of the strange man sinking into the ground, Gongsun Sui stopped standing and sat cross-legged. Du Dan asked in a voice: Miss Gongsun, do you He paused before he finished speaking, because Du Dan saw that Gongsun Sui was trying to adjust his energy to return to Yuan, so it was not appropriate to disturb him. After a while, Gongsun Suifang stood up slowly, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's amazing, it's amazing, I really didn't expect this silent weirdo to be so powerful!"What kind of character is he? Du Dan shouted: "Probably a monster. Otherwise, how could it ride a huge lizard and sink into the ground like a ghost?" Gongsun Yi floated over, looked at the place where the strange man sank, looked twice, turned his head and waved to Du Dan and said with a smile: "Brother Du, look, that strange man is not a ghost, the place where he sank is just another quagmire!" Du Dan rushed over to have a look, frowned, and said with a wry smile: "There are so many things in the Jianghu. Could it be that this strange person lives with lizards, sandworms, etc., and lives in the mud?" Gongsun Zhen shook his head and said: "It's impossible for people to live in the swamp. I guess he has another lair. This swamp is just his way." Du Dan pondered and said: In this way, we will not be able to find out where this weirdo's lair is! Gongsun Sui sighed: "Not only can't search, because I may not be the opponent of this strange man!" Hearing her tone, Du Dan was startled in his heart, looked at Gongsun Sui and said: Miss Gongsun, did you suffer from internal injuries? Gongsun Sui shook his head slightly and replied: I didn't suffer any internal injuries, but with all my strength, I only took one palm with the opponent, and my true energy was quite shaken!Therefore, I thought to myself that I might not be the opponent of this strange man! Du Dan smiled and said: "Miss Gongsun, I don't agree with your modest opinion. I think that monster riding a lizard, although extremely powerful, is still not Miss Gongsun's enemy!" Gongsun Xuanxuan asked, "what's the basis for brother Du's theory?" Du Dan laughed and said: "Of course there is a basis. Did Miss Gongsun see that strange figure swaying on the lizard's back after you palmed each other?" Gongsun Xuan nodded and said: I see, but this situation can only be explained as he and I have also been shocked, how can Brother Du be used as an argument for superior or inferior martial arts? Du Dan said with a smile: things in the world are often different from person to person. Miss Gongsun only talks about things, but I also talk about people in addition to things. If they are combined, the situation will be different? Gongsun Sui asked in surprise: "What is the theory of people?" Du Dan replied: There are so many classifications of people. At present, we only need to divide them into evil, righteous, evil, good, and good. According to the fact that the other party did not say a word, and launched a vicious surprise attack on us without asking indiscriminately, it seems that the other party must be Evil people and murderous people are by no means righteous and good people! Gongsun Yi agreed, nodded slightly and said: Brother Du's deduction must be very correct, but it still seems to have nothing to do with the level of skill! Du Dan said: Miss Gongsun, please think about it, the other party is evil and fierce, why didn't he continue to be fierce, but after fighting with Miss Gongsun, he ran anticlimactically, riding a lizard to the swamp? Gongsun Sui was startled for a moment, his mouth moved slightly, as if he was about to speak but stopped! Du Dan laughed and said: "It's very easy to guess the truth, the only reason is that the strange man is both fierce and clever, at first he looked arrogant, but now he finds out that it's not Miss Gongsun's opponent, he retreats immediately!" Gongsun Sui smiled sweetly: "According to what Brother Du said, that strange person may be the same as me, and his true energy is quite shaken!" Du Dan raised his eyebrows and said: "Perhaps it was not only because of the shock of true energy, but also because of internal injuries, that's why he killed the ground with all his might and died away!" Gongsun Sui thought about it carefully, and felt that Du Dan's words were indeed reasonable, so he could not help raising his eyebrows, his eyes flashed and he shouted: "Brother Du, the three evils we encountered are fake, and this strange man riding a lizard is the real one." , do you want to track Pointing at the swamp, Du Dan continued with a wry smile: We don't have a tame giant lizard to ride on, how can we enter the swamp?It's better to go back and tell Uncle Meng that his old man has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and maybe he can know the identity of the strange man in the swamp! Gongsun Xuan nodded, and then he and Du Dan galloped up the stream of dead souls. On the way, Gongsun Sui smiled and said, "Brother Du, since you want to ask your Uncle Meng about the origin of that strange man, you must provide your Uncle Meng with the information you know as much as possible." Before the words were finished, Du Dan continued with a smile: Miss Gongsun, I have sorted out four points about the weird man, let me tell you, is there anything missing? Gongsun Sui said: "Okay, brother Du, please tell me. If there are any omissions, I will add them for you." Du Dan pointed and said: First, this strange man is short in stature, like a child, but his face is wrinkled and his beard is three inches long. He is obviously very old and looks like a dwarf. Gongsun Xuan nodded and smiled, "This is the characteristic of appearance, and it is also the most powerful information!" Du Dan said again: secondly, this strange man has never said a word from the time he appeared to the moment he escaped, maybe he is a mute? Gongsun Zhen shook his head and said, "It's true if you haven't said it before, but maybe it's true if you're dumb?"Because the other party is weird by nature and doesn't like to talk? Du Dan said: Thirdly, that strange man used a huge black lizard about 1.23 feet long that can spray poisonous sand as a mount! Gongsun Sui laughed and said: It is difficult to keep birds and beasts, and it is even more difficult to tame snakes and insects. Perhaps Uncle Meng can guess the origin of the other party based on the characteristics of using a huge lizard as a mount. Du Dan continued: Fourth, this strange man sank into the mud to escape. At this point, he focused on Gongsun Sui and said, "Miss Gongsun, I have finished my four points of information. Do you have anything to add?" Gongsun Sui raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, I want to add something." Du Dan thought that what he said was very detailed, and after hearing what he said, he couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Gongsun Sui! Gongsun Sui said with a charming smile: "The four pieces of information that Brother Du said just now are all witnesses, but the fifth piece of information I added is physical evidence!" Du Dan was even more surprised and said, "How can Miss Gongsun get physical evidence?" Before finishing his sentence, Gongsun Sui took into his hands the two black flying nails that he had received from the strange man. Du Dan stared at him, and said with a wry smile: Damn it, damn it!I actually forgot about these two vicious hidden weapons that almost killed me! Gongsun Sui handed over the two black nails and said with a smile: "Brother Du, take a look, the quality of these two black nails is not bad except for the strange poison in them!" Du Dan took it in his hand and felt it was extremely heavy. He thought it was made of seabed cold iron? But after a closer inspection, he couldn't help being even more surprised, and said in a surprised voice: "These two nails are not made of iron, they are actually made of wood, but I don't know why the wooden nails are so heavy?" Gongsun Sui smiled and said: "This is the gloomy iron wood that has sunk at the bottom of the marsh and has passed through more than a thousand years. It not only specializes in destroying various inner family qigong, but also has the characteristic of bursting at the sight of blood. It is extremely powerful, so when I caught it, I didn't know it." Be willing to throw it away! Du Dan said with a smile: "What's wrong with abandoning it?"What we are facing is a group of insidious and vicious people who can't be blamed for a hundred deaths. Miss Gongsun can find a chance to let them taste the taste of this gloomy iron wooden nail! At this point in the conversation, the expressions of the two people changed, and they stopped together! It turned out that the cut wall in front of them was covered with dry murderous moss again! Gongsun Sui twitched his eyebrows, and shouted loudly to Du Dan: "Brother Du, there is still such a murderous moss?"I will destroy it! Du Dan waved his hand and laughed: "Miss Gongsun, act slowly, I want to use this man-eating moss to do experiments and gain some knowledge!" Gongsun Sui asked with a smile: "Brother Du, how do you want to experiment?" Du Dan smiled but didn't answer, first sniffed around with his nose a few times, then turned over a vine and found a big hole under the vine. Since the cave is only the size of a fist, the entrenched objects must be snakes and insects. Gongsun Sui thought of the members of the poor family who were best at catching snakes, so he suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Du wants to catch a snake." As soon as the word snake came out, Du Dan reached into the cave, grabbed a purple-red snake about five or six feet long, and dragged it out of the cave! When he caught the snake, he immediately threw it on the piece of man-eating moss. The snake's body falls, and the moss rolls up. In the blink of an eye, blood dripped down, and when the moss bloomed again, the whole snake disappeared. Du Dan was so startled that he shook his head and sighed, "Amazing, amazing!"If I was wrapped up in this man-eating moss last time, wouldn't even my bones melt away? Gongsun Sui laughed and said, "Brother Du, don't be surprised, take a look again!" 杜丹目光再注，只見這片色澤乾枯的吃人苔蘚，在吃了一條蛇兒以後，已有一小部分恢復了青翠色澤！ 他看見這種異狀，咦了一聲說道：吃了一條小蛇，色澤變化如此，若是吃了一個人兒，豈不全都青翠，與正常苔蘚無異，教人怎麼辨認？ 公孫璿點頭說道：這才是這種吃人苔蘚的真正厲害之處，若不毀去，不知將有多少人獸蟲蛇，受它毒害的呢？ 說完，目光注處，雙手一搓一揚，一點紅星，飛向乾枯苔蘚。 立即煙騰火起，連那色轉青翠部分，也一併化為灰燼！ 杜丹好不驚佩地，目注公孫璿問道：公孫姑娘，你你用的是三昧真火？ 公孫璿笑道：道家稱為三昧神火，佛家則稱為靈光心焰，我凜守野草除不禁，春風吹又生之語，才把它連根燒掉，永絕後患！ 杜丹聞言，不禁在臉上流露出又佩又羨的神色！ 公孫璿冰雪聰明，向他含笑說道：杜兄不必羨慕，你此次服了天香缽，真力大增，今後只要憤發上進，刻苦修為，成就不一定便遜於我呢！ 杜丹心中感激已極，赧然笑道：公孫姑娘珊珊仙骨，絕代奇資，小弟怎敢妄想比肩，若能比擬姑娘十之一二，也心滿意足了！ 公孫璿笑道：杜兄太謙 四字才出，人忽凌空飛起，但非直線上縱，卻是向橫側方兩丈以外，一片青翠苔蘚落足。 杜丹詫道：公孫姑娘，你你有何發現？ 公孫璿貼身在那片滿布苔蘚的山壁之上，搖頭答道：我不是有甚發現，是因吃人苔蘚既會變色，只好每見苔蘚，便加試探，免得萬一遺漏，又復蔓延成禍！ 杜丹皺眉說道：這作法雖然穩妥，但公孫姑娘未免太以勞累！ 公孫璿嬌笑說道：勞累無妨，我們在這亡魂澗中，獲益已多，也應該盡點義務的了。 杜丹嘆道：公孫姑娘真是俠肝義膽，菩薩心腸，你既不辭勞累，小弟怎敢偷閒，由我們立處中分，公孫姑娘只請注意右面，左面的苔蘚，由我負責試驗！ 公孫璿知他雖服天香缽靈藥，受益不淺，但目前功力尚且未逮，遂嫣然笑說道：杜兄 杜丹人極機靈，猜出公孫璿心中之意，接口笑道：公孫姑娘放心，小弟有自知之明，這點微薄功行，怎敢輕身犯險？我是打算多捉幾條蛇兒，像適才那樣，用蛇試驗，好在捉蛇之技，倒是窮家幫人所擅長的呢！ 公孫璿含笑點頭，杜丹便捉了六七條蛇兒，每於發現苔蘚之際，立即拋蛇以作試探！ 雙管齊下，果然既省事，又有效，在這亡魂澗上的峭壁之上，又發現了兩片吃人苔蘚。 他們仔細搜索，相當費時，等到上得壁頂，長夜早過，已是第二日的卯末辰初時分。 兩人到了約定鎮集之上，尋到孟遲，發現這位游龍俠丐躺在一家客棧中，呼呼大睡，顯然宿醉未醒。 公孫璿吩咐店家準備熱水沐浴，並安排豐富酒飯之後，向杜丹笑道：杜兄，我去洗個澡兒，你且叫醒孟師叔，請他老人家，再好好喝上一頓還魂酒吧！ 杜丹頷首，公孫璿便去沐浴更衣。 等她回到房中，孟遲方自醉眼惺忪地，從榻上翻身坐起。 牡丹苦笑叫道：孟師伯睡得太香，可真難叫，最後我還是斟了一杯酒兒，湊向鼻端，他老人家才猛嗅幾嗅，翻身坐起。 孟遲雙眼欲睜又閉起，口中喃喃說道：酒呢？拿拿來我我喝 公孫璿取出一瓣天香缽來，餵向孟遲口內，嬌笑叫道：孟師叔，酒菜早就準備好了，你先吃點稀罕東西，然後再盡興喝酒。 孟遲才一咀嚼，那瓣天香缽，便自化為一股瓊漿玉液，清涼香美無比地，流下喉頭。 孟遲酒意全消，雙目一睜，神光如電，凝望著公孫璿，詫然失驚問道：賢侄女，你們回來了？你給我吃的，是是什麼東西？ 公孫璿笑道：是我和杜兄在亡魂澗中所得寶物，名叫天香缽 孟遲果然見聞甚廣，一聽天香缽之名，便接口說道：這東西是天竺深山特產，輕易難見，亡魂澗中，怎會生長？可惜可惜 末端的兩聲可惜，把公孫璿弄得莫名其妙，瞠目問道：孟師叔，你你可惜什麼？ 孟遲嘆道：這天香缽若乘其盛開之際，採下立即服食，有大增內力靈效，你們帶回此處，靈氣已大半消失，豈不是糟塌東西，錯過了一段罕世機緣 杜丹聽至此處，忍不住噗嗤一笑。 孟遲罵道：丹兒，你笑些什麼？難道你不相信我所說之語？ 杜丹笑道：孟師伯說得極對，不過，小侄深蒙公孫璿姑娘提拔，已在亡魂澗下，現摘現吃地，享受了四瓣天香缽，如今周身氣脈流暢，真力彌沛異常，顯已獲益極大了呢！ 孟遲向杜丹臉上，仔細看了兩眼，含笑罵道：你這小偷兒的造化太大 語音微頓，啞然失笑又道：但我老花子的造化也不算小，醺醺大醉，一夢方回，居然嚐到一瓣天竺特產的人間靈藥天香缽 公孫璿不等孟遲話完，含笑接口說道：這天香缽還有兩瓣，孟師叔要不要再來一 孟遲搖手道：不要，不要，不要胡亂糟塌這等罕世良藥，我一瓣入口，不單周身火燒餘痛，立即消失，連宿醉酒意，也告全除。來，來，來，我們一面飲酒，一面敘述你們昨夜在亡魂澗中，究竟除了幾兇？得了幾寶？ 公孫璿與杜丹，遂把昨夜所經，向孟遲一一陳述。 說完，並把蟒皮劍鞘，和沉重短戟取出，請孟遲加以鑒定。 孟遲聽得亡魂澗下，竟有那多怪事和驚險情節，不禁有點出神。 等把劍鞘和短戟仔細看畢，失聲說道：由鞘可以知劍，定是干莫一流的前古神物，短戟則全係海底寒鐵所鑄，無物可毀，無堅不摧，真算得武林異寶的了！ 公孫璿笑道：孟師叔，劍戟尚在其次，我倒想知道那澗下怪人來歷？ 孟遲想了半天，目閃神光，揚眉叫道：公孫賢侄女，你江湖閱歷雖尚欠缺，但在天嶽神尼的諄諄教誨下，知識定必極豐，你猜不猜得出那隻巨大蜥蜴，叫做什麼名稱？ 公孫璿嬌笑答道：我猜不準，那東西有點像是吃過一千隻的毒蠍以上，軀體變得奇巨的龍形壁虎，又有點像是洪荒異物，如今幾已絕種，難得一見的響尾沙龍！ 孟遲以一種嘉許神色，點頭讚道：賢侄女委實胸羅萬有，你不是說那巨大蜥蜴曾對你們噴過沙麼？ 杜丹答道：噴了一大片呢！沙中並蘊奇腥，顯有劇毒，但被公孫姑娘的佛門絕學無相神功所拒，未對我們構成任何傷害！ 孟遲飲了一口酒兒，向公孫璿含笑說道：賢侄女，那東西既會噴沙，定然就是你所說的洪荒異物，如今業已極為罕見的響尾沙龍！ 公孫璿皺眉說道：這名稱似乎只對一半，因為它口中雖會噴沙，但尾巴卻未曾沙沙作響！ 孟遲笑道：有些東西的特性，往往因地理環境，及天時氣候而異，那條響尾沙龍，不是在乾燥之處，是在泥沼之中，它的尾巴如何會沙沙的響得起來？ 公孫璿道：孟師叔的這種看法，倒也合理 說至此處，秀眉微軒，嫣然一笑叫道：孟師叔，我想知那身若孩童，顏如老叟的澗下怪人來歷，你怎麼不研究人，卻去研究那隻蜥蜴？ 孟遲含笑說道：這兩者之間，也許有點關係，我才先對蜥蜴加以研究！ 公孫璿聽出孟遲的言外之意，嬌笑問道：孟師叔，你好像成竹在胸，業已對那澗下怪人的來歷，有了十分把握？ 孟遲答道：十分我不敢講，六七分或許還差不多，我並根據這點猜測作了一樁大膽假設！ 杜丹見孟遲杯中已空，替他斟滿了酒，賠笑問道：孟師伯，你作了什麼大膽假設？ 孟遲笑道：我認為那棵天香缽，不是天然生長在亡魂澗之中，而是那身若孩童，面如老叟的怪人，費盡心血所種，不過被你們兩人湊巧撞去，得了個現成便宜而已！ 杜丹翻翻眼皮，苦笑說道：孟師伯的這種假設，雖然大膽，卻不合理！ 孟遲目注杜丹，軒眉問道：丹兒，你有何反證，竟說我這項大膽假設不合理呢？ 杜丹道：公孫姑娘曾說這天香缽，至少要一甲子的光陰才告成熟！ 孟遲點頭笑道：她說的一點不錯！ 杜丹詫道：這樣說來，天香缽若是那怪人所種，則那怪人，豈不是已在亡魂澗下，住了一甲子麼？ 孟遲舉杯就唇，飲了一口酒，怪笑說道：我正是聽有位武林魔頭，於一甲子前神秘失蹤，才把他和眼前之事，聯繫起來，試作推究！ 公孫璿道：孟師叔，你所說的這武林魔頭是誰？ 孟遲答道：是六十年前，號稱當世武林中第一用毒名家的百毒天君仲孫明。 公孫璿繼續問道：這位百毒天君仲孫明，是怎樣神秘失蹤的呢？ 孟遲微笑說道：這事極有趣味，仲孫明分函友好，說是發明了一種最厲害的毒物，能使人於中毒之後，身形暴縮，宛若侏儒！這毒藥於元旦開爐，並用真人試驗，希望諸友好能趕來參觀，仗恃此藥，進圖武林霸業！ 杜丹道：常言說得好：物以類聚，百毒天君仲孫明的友輩，定是些極惡兇邪，聞得有此發明，哪有不紛紛趕來之理？ 孟遲笑道：群邪確實於除夕紛紛趕到，等待仲孫明元旦開爐，以人試藥，觀看這千古奇事，誰知等到元旦深夜，丹室仍未開啟，群邪起疑，破門入內，才發現不單藥爐早已裂毀，連百毒天君仲孫明和兩名藥童也一併失去蹤跡！ 杜丹問道：這倒真是怪事，那百毒天君仲孫明，便從此失蹤了麼？ 孟遲嗯了一聲說道：那是甲辰元旦的事，如今又是甲辰，整整六十年有半，江湖中從未聽說過這位百毒天君的半絲蹤跡！ 杜丹又替孟遲斟滿酒兒，含笑問道：孟師伯，你把昔日之事，和眼前之事，是怎樣聯繫？ 孟遲尚未答言，公孫璿卻在一旁嬌笑說道：我猜孟師叔定然又作了三項大膽假設！ 孟遲看她一眼，含笑叫道：賢侄女，你玲瓏剔透、冰雪聰明，不妨代我把三項大膽假設，向杜丹兒說明一下！ 公孫璿妙目之中，閃射出智慧光輝，點頭笑道：侄女就大膽地大膽假設一番，若有謬誤之時，孟師叔要替我隨時匡正！ 孟遲含笑點頭，公孫璿遂向杜丹伸出左手食指，嫣然笑道：作惡多端，每遭天報，神明冥冥，極有威靈！我第一項大膽假設，是百毒天君仲孫明的縮體奇毒業已煉成，但萬分得意之下，藥爐突告爆裂，於是，以身試毒之人，竟是仲孫明和兩名藥童，一齊變作了侏儒模樣！ 杜丹先是聽得一怔，旋即拊掌讚道：公孫姑娘，你這項大膽假設，委實大有趣味！ 公孫璿笑道：變成侏儒之下，仲孫明還有何面目去見友好群邪？只得悄悄溜走，力謀解毒復原之道！於是，我的第二項大膽假設，又隨之而來！ 杜丹聽得入迷，一迭聲地催道：公孫姑娘快講快講！ 公孫璿伸箸挾了一隻大蝦，邊行剝殼，邊自笑道：第二項假設，是天香缽能解縮體奇毒，仲孫明苦尋未獲，只弄到一粒天香缽的種子，遂選擇了氣候和地理環境都比較適合生長天香缽的亡魂澗下，苦心加以種植！ 杜丹笑道：公孫姑娘越設想越有趣了 公孫璿揚眉說道：第三項大膽假設，就是亡魂澗下的劇毒泥沼，或係天生，但吃人苔蘚，甚至於響尾沙龍、獨目玉帶蛇等，卻都是百毒天君仲孫明，為求避免被擾，而特意加以移植豢養！因為這些東西，都是苗疆特產，不應該在江蘇北部的山中發現！ 語音至此頓住，螓首微偏，向孟遲嬌笑叫道：孟師叔，我已經信口胡言地說了半天，你怎麼不替我加以補充？ 孟遲笑道：你說得比我還要來得周到，叫我怎麼補充？根據天香缽成熟時間，與仲孫明的失蹤時日，互相巧合，以澗下怪人，身若孩童、顏如老叟的特徵看來，我們的大膽假設，可能並非虛妄，頗為接近事實！ 杜丹笑道：假如真是事實，則我和公孫姑娘的亡魂澗之行，倒算功德不小！ 公孫璿問道：杜兄此話怎講？ 杜丹揚眉答道：仲孫明若是服食天香缽解去縮體奇毒，重出江湖，定起巨大風波，不知將有多少正派俠士遭其毒害，如今，使他所望成空，豈非弭禍無形 語音至此，見公孫璿不住搖頭，遂訝聲問道：公孫姑娘，你認為我說得不對？ 公孫璿接口說道：天香缽被我們撿了便宜，只不過使仲孫明所願成空，身軀無法復原，並非使這百毒天君立歸劫數，如此一來，或許竟激使他憤而作怪，不再隱居於亡魂澗中，也說不定呢？ 孟遲聽得連連點頭，深表讚許說道：還是公孫賢侄女的見解來得深入一層，但願這位百毒天君仲
