Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty-Four

After all, Wu Bitong's gong power is very high, although he was sinking in the cold pool and weak water, but before he fell into the water, he held a breath of true energy and closed his breath. After falling about seven feet, Wu Bitong felt that his feet had stepped on the bottom of the pond! He felt very anxious, because he couldn't hold his true energy for too long, if Xuanyuan Xu didn't rescue him in time, he would drown alive in this cold pool. Although Xuanyuan Xu's skills are profound, he is definitely not a person who is good at water. If he is at the bottom of the pool, what effective rescue method does he have?

The demon in white was beating a drum in his heart when a long vine shadow fell from the pool. It was also because Wu Bitong hadn't reached the number of breaths, and his life should not be terminated. Xuanyuan Xu was quick and wise, and the mountain vines he broke were nine feet long, which was just enough. Otherwise, if the vines are short and the pool is deep, Wu Bitong will have no hope of surviving! Now, when he saw a vine shadow hanging down, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately jumped up and reached out to catch it! Xuanyuan Xu, who was standing by the edge of the cold pool, felt that there was weight on the other end of the vine, so he quickly lifted it up.

While pulling the rattan, Xuanyuan Xu was on guard! He was afraid that Xie San and Hou Jianping would take advantage of this opportunity to attack again, if a throwing knife or a fireball broke the vine, he would be powerless, so he could only helplessly watch Wu Bitong die at the bottom of the pool. Xuanyuan Xu had this concern, so he was not only wary, his pair of sharp eagle eyes were also as sharp as lightning, scanning all directions! Hou Jianping was in the cave on the wall, seeing such a situation from afar, he couldn't help saying to Xie San with a smile: "Please look, old man, the old demon Xuanyuan is afraid that we will take the opportunity to attack again, so he glanced wildly, with such a nervous expression?"

Xie San was quite happy, laughed and said: This time we took advantage of the terrain, and finally made these two extremely ferocious old devils look ashamed! At this point, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at Hou Jianping: Brother Hou, there are still five pieces of my Seven Emotions Fireball, do you want to give them some more? Hou Jianping shook his hand, and said to Xie San with a smile: "The distance is too far at this moment. The old devil Xuanyuan has high power and is paying attention to precautions. If he uses hidden weapons to attack, it will be difficult to be effective. The old man's seven-emotion fire bomb is used to protect the entrance of the cave." , extremely powerful, why waste it?

After hearing what Hou Jianping said, Xie San took back the Seven Emotions Fire Bomb that he had already taken in his hand. The two looked at each other and smiled, watching from the sidelines, watching Xuanyuan Xu after rescuing Wu Bitong, what plans did he have? At this time, the vines on the bank were pulled up very high, and Wu Bitong was finally lifted out of the water by Xuanyuan Xu's extremely fast technique! As soon as Wu Bitong came out of the water, he breathed out a long breath, his figure shimmered slightly, he jumped to the shore with his strength, and shouted sharply: "Brother Xuanyuan, we really capsized the big boat in the gutter, hurry up and join forces to attack again, we must thank you for this." Old Huazi and Hou Jianping are little thieves, their corpses must be broken into pieces!

Xuanyuan Xu saw that not only his beard and hair were scorched, but also he had many burns and water stains all over his body, his expression was really embarrassing! Then he frowned slightly, and said to Wu Bitong in a low voice: Brother Wu, Xie Laohuazi and Hou Jianping juniors, although their skills are insignificant, but the terrain they occupy is too good, and they have powerful firearms in their hands. If we try to attack, it may not be effective. We should turn to Wanhua Palace Go, discuss with Liu Xianniang, it won't be too late! Wu Bitong clenched his steel teeth, sighed with a wry smile: Brother Xuanyuan, look at me in such a mess, how can I go back to Wanhua Palace?

Xuanyuan Xu interfaced and said: What's so embarrassing?Brother Wu, hold back your bad breath for now, I guarantee that there is a way to let you vent as much as possible! Wu Bitong had no choice but to let out a long sigh and walked away with Xuanyuan Xu. Hou Jianping suddenly covered his face with sadness, his brows gathered together! Xie San was surprised and said: "Brother Hou, we have gained the upper hand this time, why are you frowning deeply and worrying?" Hou Jianping said: I have a worry and a difficult problem that cannot be resolved! Xie San asked: "What worries?"

Hou Jianping pointed at the backs of the two old devils on the peak, frowned and said: "Have you heard what Xuanyuan old devil just said about making Wu Bitong vent as much as possible?" Xie San replied: I can vaguely hear it! With a heavy expression on Hou Jianping's face, he said slowly: What I worry about is the target of these two old devils! Xie Sanlue pondered for a while, suddenly realized, nodded and said: I understand, Brother Hou is afraid of these two old devils, and he will go to kill Dongguo Shenjun to vent his anger for Wu Bitong? Hou Jianping sighed: Firstly, we are in the devil's nest, there are no other hostages, and secondly, Wu Bitong suffered under the fire of seven passions, why didn't they go to the God of Liehuo to vent their anger?

Hearing this, Xie San was indeed quite worried about Dong Guoyan, but when he turned his eyes, he said with a broad smile, "It doesn't matter, Xuanyuan Xiaomo once got hit by my brother's Wuxianghunhun needle, they may not dare to deal with it if they are worried." Lord Dongguo, it's too much! Hou Jianping smiled wryly and said: This is where chivalrous characters suffer from being soft-hearted. My Phaseless Soul Seizing Needle has never been poisoned. , the broken needle can be sucked out Xie San was surprised and said: Didn't my brother once say that the master must save the life himself?

Hou Jianping said: "That's my intention to scare people. I hope they don't dare to embarrass old Dong Guo, but now with the hatred of burning Wu Bitong, the matter may not be certain!" Xie San also sighed, and asked Hou Jianping: Brother Hou, you still have a problem, what is it? Hou Jianping looked at Xie San and said: "The old man thinks that the two old devils just went away and died down?"Or will it make persistent efforts and make a comeback? How fierce and conceited this old devil is, now it is under our hands, after suffering so much, he is naturally filled with anger and refuses to give up!

Hou Jianping nodded and said: "My opinion is exactly the same as that of the old man, so the difficult problem is whether we should stay here and wait for the enemy to attack?"Or take advantage of the old devil's return to the palace and leave him as soon as possible? Xie San pondered for a while, but couldn't make up his mind. Hou Jianping said: "The old devils have learned from the past. If they come again, they will have vicious schemes and methods to prevent fire bombs. Therefore, it is not a good strategy for us to stay in this cave!" Xie San smiled and said: "It's good to leave now, but we have nowhere else to go, we can only go to Wushouhe to look for Miss Gongsun, will it be Hou Jianping smiled wryly and said: Yes, I was worried about this, fearing that the two old devils would send someone to spy on them secretly, and instead implicate Miss Gongsun and the others! Xie San raised his eyebrows and said: "As the saying goes: It's a blessing, not a disaster. A disaster can't be avoided. As long as we can meet with Miss Gongsun and others, we can also add some strength and discuss with each other. Otherwise, we don't even know what their situation is. I will still be worried! Hou Jianping raised his eyebrows, and said resolutely with a flash of light in his eyes: "Okay, let's take some risks and get out of the pool immediately!" Xie San stepped forward first, walked into the icy cold pool, and said with a smile: My brother has improved a lot now, you can slide down the wall, and you don't have to suffer any more. Walking this waterway will soak your whole body completely. When the voice was clear, when the body was poked out, it dived into the cold wave like a big fish. Hou Jianping was really amazed by this watery spirit with black stripes in the waves, so he got out of the secret hole, performed super lightness kung fu, and slowly slid down the wall. Halfway through the slide, the water splashed in the center of the pool, and Xie Sanye had surfaced. When the two arrived at the edge of the pool, they didn't go to Wushouhe immediately, they first observed the surroundings attentively! Because if you find that the enemy has an ambush and the situation is not good, you can return to the cold pool secret cave at any time! Hou Jianping gathered his energy secretly, listened carefully, and felt that there seemed to be no one around the cold pool? He waved to Xie Sanlue, and walked out of the valley. Xie San followed closely, and both of them did not dare to slack off to pay attention to every step, always on guard! Walking out of the Taniguchi all the way, there is no warning sign! Hou Jianping let out a long breath, Xie San frowned and said: "Strange, logically speaking, the other party will not send someone to secretly monitor us?" At this point in the conversation, Hou Jianping raised his eyebrows sharply, turned around, faced Taniguchi, and shouted coldly: Your honor is well hidden, it's time to show up now! In the shadow of Taniguchi, there was a coquettish smile, and a woman's accent giggled and said: My dear son, don't be arrogant, if I didn't hum on purpose, how would you know where your mother is hiding? Following the voice, a graceful figure in red clothes flashed out. The person who came was Liu Rumian, who was once the concubine of Hou Jianping, who was known as the head of the century-old nunnery and the peach blossom lady! When Hou Jianping saw it was her, he couldn't help frowning! Especially the titles of "good son", "your mother" and so on in her mouth, really made Hou Jianping a little dumbfounded, unable to answer! Xie San knew that Hou Jianping was a little embarrassed, so he took a step forward and asked: "The two sides have made an appointment in Wanhua Palace, but what's wrong with Lady Liu lying in ambush here?" Liu Rumian smiled charmingly, pointed at Hou Jianping and said: I miss my son, and I want to take him back to Wanhua Palace to talk about the love between mother and child! Hou Jianping had no choice but to answer, and coldly scolded: Liu Rumian, you are so shameless, your crime of colluding with an adulterer and murdering my father has long been exposed, and my relationship with you has long since ended. I just wait for a while in the Wanhua Palace, and I will be in front of the whole world. Heroes, avenge your father! Liu Rumian chuckled and said: Good son Hou Jianping scolded: "Shameless bitch, don't use such titles!" Liu Rumian didn't get angry, nodded, and said slowly: "Okay, I'll call you Hou Jianping, just because you are so capable, are you worthy of wanting to avenge Hou Liwei's dead ghost?" Hou Jianping sneered and said: If you don't believe me, just try it! After finishing the speech, the right hand was raised, and with a chopping palm, he slammed towards Liu Rumian in the air! Liu Rumian's skills were not weak at first, but this time when he was pretending to be Gongsun Yi, he was hurt by the Wuming teacher, but relying on his natural charm, he forced Xuanyuan Bin to ask his father Xuanyuan Xu for a very precious grain, and Xiang Bu easily shared with others. Taking the Yiyuan Life-preserving Spirit Pill, not only healed all internal injuries, but also slightly increased gong power. Now seeing Hou Jianping coming to strike with his palm, he flipped his right palm and slapped it in the air. In her opinion, with her many years of experience, she can definitely beat Hou Jianping, and at worst, it will be a tie! Unexpectedly, Hou Jianping has a good talent, and since he was a child, Du Xiaoqiao, the genius doctor of iron sword, has been taking various medicines, taking them internally and washing them externally, to cultivate his roots, and recently he has received Dongfang Yao's skill transfer. His achievements are as high as Gongsun Sui! As soon as the palms of the two sides met, Hou Jian stood upright like a mountain, and the wind did not move. However, Liu Rumian's figure flickered, and she couldn't help but take a half step back! Hou Jianping sneered, looked at Liu Rumian and said: Liu Rumian, you know how powerful you are now!Before the decisive battle in Wanhua Palace, I will take you down first, lest you make trouble again! After speaking, he summoned, grabbed the robe and belt in one move, stretched out his five fingers, stretched his body and stretched his arms, and grabbed Liu Rumian's shoulder. Liu Rumian seemed to be overwhelmed by the depth of Hou Jianping's palm just now, so she stopped catching it hard and took two steps away. Hou Jianping refused to relax, followed and chased, recruited Tiantai to guide the way, and jointly pointed to Liu Rumian's Xiaoyao acupoint. Liu Rumian didn't guard against Hou Jianping, who followed his shape and moved quickly, not to mention changing his steps and moving around the palace, when his toes just took up the ground, if he tried to dodge, he would already stagger slightly! Hou Jianping let go of his heart, before the fingertips reached, the strength of the fingers was already vomited! In other words, he changed the actual action of pointing at the opponent into the superior magical skill of snapping his fingers and closing the acupoints. Liu Rumian was already unable to dodge in time, but with Hou Jianping's change, he naturally hit her big acupoint on the smiling waist with a ray of finger wind more quickly. Hou Jianping thought that Liu Rumian was bound to be knocked down by himself, so he followed Tanarm, intending to capture the temptress. Who knew that he was almost fooled by this kind of action! Although that ray of strength pointed at Liu Rumian's laughing waist point, Liu Rumian did not fall down in response to the finger! This situation shows that Liu Rumian must be wearing some kind of precious clothes that can avoid palm weapons. Therefore, not only did she not fall down, she twisted her waist, swung her left wrist fiercely, and swiped towards the probing arm that Hou Jianping was following with her back claw. This movement of swiping his left wrist was beyond Hou Jianping's expectation. Because Hou Jianping knew that Liu Rumian's left hand had been cut off by himself on Haohan Slope more than ten years ago. Now that she has no hands, who would want her to suddenly wave her arms? Hou Jianping was stunned, glanced at the place, and found that Liu Rumian had a hand when he swung his left arm so quickly! However, although this hand has palms and fingers, it is not made of flesh and blood! This is a steel hand, with five fingers like hooks, extremely sharp, and the fingertips are dark blue, obviously poisonous! Anyone with a little vision can tell at a glance that this is made of high-quality precision workers such as cold iron, and it is sure to be indestructible. Hou Jianping was caught by surprise, almost unable to dodge. Fortunately, he has profound skills, and when he was in danger, his mind was not disturbed, so he simply turned his fingers into palms and pushed out vigorously! Although this palm wind still couldn't hurt Liu Rumian who was wearing the precious clothes, it also shocked her to take two steps forward! Hou Jianping also took advantage of this shock, retracted his palms and raised his arms, turned around two wheels one after another, and moved four or five steps to the right! Although he reacted quickly, there was still a hissing sound on the sleeve of his right arm! The two were separated, and Hou Jianping found that his right sleeve had been scratched with a seven or eight inch long tear. If it wasn't the sleeves, but the flesh, then Hou Jianping would be poisoned, and he would even die under such carelessness! When he was ashamed and ashamed, Liu Rumian chuckled and said, "My dear son, don't be afraid, your mother still wants to love you, and she is reluctant to kill you right away." Hou Jianping yelled angrily, and the black light flickered in his hand. Because Liu Rumian's left arm was equipped with poisonous claws, he faced the enemy empty-handed and suffered too much, so he withdrew the cold iron short halberd. At this time Liu Rumian also knew that Hou Jianping should not underestimate the enemy, so he nodded without hesitation, and said with a coquettish smile: You are really the so-called Ke Shao Jiqiu, and you use a short halberd as a weapon just like your dead ghost father! While talking to himself, he untied another thing from his waist. This is a soft snakeskin whip with shiny black skin, about seven feet long! Liu Rumian's poisonous claw in his left hand was padded with a steel ring, and it was fastened on the severed wrist of his left arm, while the soft whip in his right hand was held in his palm. Hou Jianping held the short halberd in his hand, plucked his eyebrows and said sharply: "Liu Rumian, since you want to fight ahead of time, why don't you make a move?" Liu Rumian snorted, swung his right hand repeatedly, and turned the long whip three times in the air! But although the long snakeskin whip screamed in the air, it seemed that its intention was only to demonstrate, not to seriously attack the enemy. Hou Jianping shouted: "Liu Rumian, don't be too pretentious, you can do it if you have the skills." Before the words were finished, the sharp whistle sounded again, and the long whip shadow was like a dragon, and it fell towards the top of Hou Jianping's head! Hou Jianping took a wrong step, passed the whip, and nodded at Liu Rumian's whip with the short cold iron halberd in his hand. Liu Rumian paused slightly with his right hand, and the whip shadow was withdrawn suddenly! Following his figure, he rushed forward, grabbed the middle palace, and grabbed Hou Jianping's face with the poisonous claws of his left arm! Hou Jianping wanted to see how much this Peach Blossom Lady had achieved after ten years of hard training.So he deliberately pretended to be panic-stricken, leaned his body upside down, picked up the cloud flag upside down, and stretched out a length of sixty-seven feet. How could Liu Rumian give up the opportunity, dodge to chase after him, and use his unparalleled skills to encircle Hou Jianping's tall figure in a shadow of whip, wind and claws! In terms of Hou Jianping's current skill, he is slightly better than Liu Rumian, so even though he lost the opportunity, he is still able to protect himself. What's more, he intends to detect Liu Rumian's reality, so he has a counterattack method, and he will not use it for the time being. He only moves around in the shadow of the whip, wind and claws, so as to induce Liu Rumian to do his best and kill frequently! In this way, even though he intended to do so, he saw the black stripe in the waves standing beside him, almost panicking! Because from the sidelines, Liu Rumian's whip and claws are extremely powerful, and the length is firm and soft, and the combination is just right! Those who are far away have strong whips, and those who are close have poisonous claws. Between vertical and horizontal, the continuous use of unique skills made Hou Jianping seem to be only capable of parrying, and he has no power to fight back! When Xie San saw such a situation, why was he not in a hurry? But he couldn't step forward to help with his skill, so in anxiety and helplessness, he subconsciously held the soft sword in his hand. Dongfang Yao forced Zhong Sunming to give this soft sword to Hou Jianping, and Hou Jianping handed it to Xie San for self-defense temporarily when Shicai defended against the enemy in the secret cave. The sharp light on the sword was quite strong, Xie San held it in his hand, wiped it slightly, and thought in his heart: Hou Jianping seems to be completely at a disadvantage, can he come forward to help with the peerless sharpness of this soft sword?But would Hou Jianping lose even faster because of his lack of skill? Undecided in his mind, he suddenly heard someone using the ant language voice transmission skill, and whispered to himself: Stupid Huazi, Liu Rumian has two weapons, one long and one short, but Hou Jianping only has a short halberd. If it is handed over to Hou Jianping, won't the situation be evened out? Xie San was startled when he heard the words, his eyes swept all around, he couldn't figure out who was the person whispering in his ear?and where are the people? When he glanced around, he saw nothing except Liu Rumian and Hou Jianping who were fighting fiercely. Xie Sanzheng was puzzled, and the whispers around him came up again, and he whispered: You don't need to come closer, just throw the soft sword in your hand into the Zhangxu sky where the two are fighting, and I have informed Hou Jianping in another secret word, he jumped up in the air, Receiving the sword and sending it out will definitely surprise the enemy, even if Liu Rumian cannot be punished, at least she can cut off the poisonous claw on her left arm! This idea was quite brilliant, Xie San couldn't help nodding his head repeatedly, expressing his agreement. The whisper in the ear said again: You listen to my orders and act, so that you can cooperate with Hou Jianping, as soon as I tell you to throw the sword, you immediately throw the sword! Xie San suffers from not knowing where the other party is hiding?Unable to answer, he had to nod again. At this time, Liu Rumian's killer shot repeatedly, and after repeated failures, he couldn't help showing a little irritated and anxious expression! Hou Jianping raised his eyebrows, and in the shadow of the opponent's whip, wind and claws, he shouted loudly: Liu Rumian, do you still have any skills to press the bottom of the box?If not, I will At this point in Hou Jianping's words, Xie San had already heard the invisible man shouting in ant language: throw This chivalrous beggar was also obedient, he raised his right hand, and threw his rare soft sword into a rainbow, flying towards the sky where Hou Jianping and Liu Rumian were fighting fiercely. The distance is not far, and the sword light will arrive in a flash. But Hou Jianping didn't seem to have seen it, and he didn't jump to catch the sword! Xie San was astonished, he raised his breath and shouted loudly: Brother Hou! The word "three" came out, and the sword light in the air changed from direct flight to oblique flight, and it fell towards the strange rock about Zhang Xu to the left. Apparently, this is someone with a brilliant skill who used the inner family's great art of receiving and attracting, and took the soft sword away from the sky. Xie San was surprised, when he laughed coquettishly, a slender girl holding a soft sword had already walked out of the pile of strange rocks. This slender girl is not Gongsun Sui, Ouyang Hong, and Dongfang Yao, but Liu Rumian's fellow traveler, Wanhua Witch Liu Xiaolin! Seeing that it was Liu Xiaolin, Xie San knew that in his haste and oversight, he had fallen for the evil trick of the Ten Thousand Flowers Witch, and obediently sent this rare and precious blade into the opponent's hands! His face flushed, his ears felt hot, and his brain buzzed. He really wanted to find a hole in the ground and dive in! Liu Xiaolin held the soft sword in her hand, wiped it slightly, and said to Liu Rumian with a smile, "Sister Mian, that day I used the Ecstasy Ten Thousand Flowers Belt to fight Gongsun Sui's Great Compassion Sword Ball. I suffered a bit, but now I have this soft sword. Sword, you can give it a go with Gongsun girl! At this moment Liu Rumian knew that it was difficult to defeat Hou Jianping with only real martial arts, so she jumped out of the circle and asked Liu Xiaolin: "Sister Lin, this soft sword in your hand looks peerlessly sharp. It's really good. Where did it come from?" Liu Xiaolin pointed at Xie San, and said with a teasing expression, "I don't know if this old man is obsessed with sex, or he is stupid like a dead pig. I only said a few good words to his ear, and he put the handle on him." The sword was given to me! Xie San was extremely ashamed and angry when he heard it, he let out a stern roar, and raised his palm to pat his own sky cap! Seeing this, Hou Jianping hastily stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Why do you do this, old man?"A dagger, nothing at all? Xie San blushed and said: I am ashamed of myself, I am so stupid Knowing that he was sad, Hou Jianping quickly comforted Xie San and said: Why does the old man talk like this?As the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived by others, but this group of things are shameless and do all kinds of evil Liu Rumian snorted coldly, and shouted from the side: "Hou Jianping, you and I can still maintain an even balance in the autumn when you fight alone. Now that you have added sister Lin, it is obvious that your strength is exhausted and you are about to be captured. How dare you act so recklessly?" Is the export bad? Hou Jianping raised his eyebrows, and said with a gleam in his eyes: "Speaking of which, you two witches joined hands, even facing old demons like Xuanyuan Xu and Wu Bitong, Hou Jianping has no fear at all!" The corners of Liu Rumian's mouth twitched, he looked sideways at Liu Xiaolin and said, "Sister Lin, this brat doesn't know how to flatter him, let's show him how powerful he is, we use Wudusha The word "Five Dusha" came out, and there were two beeps, and the sky was completely covered in blue and white! It turned out that Xie San, feeling ashamed and angry about being cheated by Ruan Jian, was the first to attack Liu and Liu Ernv. It's a long shot, but it's still the fireball of seven emotions that made Wu Bitong, the man in black, suffer so much! As I said before, the fire bombs are yellow, red, blue, white, green, orange, and purple, and can be fired seven times. When attacking Xuanyuan Xu and Wu Bitong earlier, they fired one yellow and one red, but now, the fireballs are one blue and one white. But the yellow and red bombs worked well, but the blue and white bombs didn't work! This is not to say that Liu Rumian and Liu Xiaolin's skill attainments are higher than those of Xuanyuan Xu and Wu Bitong, but because of terrain factors. The reason why Wu Bitong was shot was because he was hanging from a cliff and he couldn't dodge it. Otherwise, how could this mere Dong Guoyan's self-refining firearm hurt that super-powerful black-clothed demon? Now, the land belongs to the plains, as soon as Xie Sancai took out the Qiqing torch, Liu Rumian became alert, stopped talking quickly, pulled Liu Xiaolin out of the way and backed away. So when there were two waves, blue and white flames filled the sky, Liu Rumian and Liu Xiaolin had already escaped from the circle of power. Hou Jianping saw that although Xie San fired two fireballs, but they had no effect, he whispered to him: "Old man Xie, the five poisonous sands on the other side are Liu Lin, the mother of ten thousand flowers, who collects miasma and all kinds of dirty and poisonous things from mountains and rivers. It's really powerful, you and I can't be far away, we have to stand together to be easy to defend! Xie San walked past with a nod, and whispered to Hou Jianping in a whispered voice: Brother Hou, I still have three grains of green, orange and purple in the Seven Emotions Fire Bomb, and I will send them out together. In it, first stab these two temptresses upside down and capture them. Hou Jianping knew that Xie San's intention to capture Liu Rumian and Liu Xiaolin was for Dong Guoyan's safety, so he nodded naturally, expressing his agreement with his plan. They were ready to stop, they waited for Liu Rumian and Liu Xiaolin to get closer, then they both launched and shot out obliquely. Unexpectedly, Xie San's plan failed to come true? The reason is that Liu Rumian, the second daughter of Liu Xiaolin, didn't chase after her two feet away, but Liu Rumian sneered at Hou Jianping and called out: "Hou Jianping, today I think that sister Lin has won a sword, and I will let you all go." Ma, wait until the Wanhua Palace meeting, and then execute you old ghosts and little devils together! After finishing speaking, they turned around together with Liu Xiaolin and galloped towards the Nine Tribulation Peak. Their retreat was really unexpected! Xie San said in astonishment: Strange, these two fierce and tempestuous women, why are they anticlimactic? Could it be that they are afraid of my seven emotions? Hou Jianping focused slightly, raised his eyebrows at Xie San and shouted: "Old man, listen up!" Xie San listened carefully, and heard a rather low humming sound coming down from the Nine Tribulation Peak. Seeing that he had already heard about it, Hou Jianping said with a smile: "Did the old man hear this whining sound?"It might be that something urgent happened in Wanhua Palace, Liu Rumian and Liu Xiaolin rushed after hearing the news. There are two reasons for Liu Rumian and Liu Xiaolin's anticlimactic and hastily retreating. Hou Jianping and Xie San happened to guess one point correctly. It turns out that although the five poisonous sands are powerful, they are extremely difficult to refine and gather, the quantity is not large, and they are most afraid of firepower, they will ignite when they see a flame, Liu Xiaolin sees that Xie San has the powerful fire bomb of seven emotions, so she doesn't want to waste it. Secondly, the humming sound from the top of the Nine Tribulation Peak is indeed a signal, indicating that something urgent has happened, order the party members around to rush back. After Liu Rumian and Liu Xiaolin left, Hou Jianping didn't chase after them. After watching them disappear, Hou Jianping said to Xie San: "Old man, what should we do now?"Are you going to Wushouhe? Xie Sanlue thought for a while, then frowned heavily and said: Miss Gongsun has not returned for a long time, it is definitely not without reason, I am afraid that something went wrong? At this point in the conversation, Hou Jianping had already frowned, and said: "In this case, we should go to Wushouhe to see what happened!" After speaking, his figure flashed with lightning, and he was already galloping away first. Xie San followed closely, and when he arrived at the mouth of Wushou Valley, Hou Jianping was about to perform lightness kung fu to go down the valley, Xie San suddenly shouted: "Brother Hou, wait a minute!" Hou Jianping stopped in astonishment, but saw Xie San looking around and muttering in his mouth: No, no Hou Jianping was surprised: What's wrong?Did the old man see something strange? Xie San smiled and said: "Observe things, don't be distracted. Brother Hou's current heart is probably only related to the safety of Gongsun girl, so he didn't notice this abnormal situation without sorrow!" When Hou Jianping heard this, he glanced around and took a closer look. Fang Shi said, "I can see that all the grass, trees and moss in this ravine have lost their luster and are gradually dying!" Xie San said sternly: "Brother Hou, please think about it, this situation is by no means accidental, is there any strange poisonous thing crawling through the mouth of the ravine?" Hou Jianping gathered his eyebrows together, shook his head and said: Even if there are strange poisonous snakes and insects crawling over, it will only leave a line of poison. How can the grass, trees and moss in the entire ravine gradually die? Xie Sandao: Brother Zhuo Jian, what do you think? In Hou Jianping's eyes, divine light flickered slightly and he replied: It seems that someone is deliberately poisoning in this valley! Xie San smiled and said: This matter is easy to handle, I have a poison test silver needle with me, let's try it! After finishing speaking, he immediately took out a four or five inch long poison-testing silver needle from his side, held it in his hand, and leaned towards the decaying grass and trees in the mouth of the ravine. The silver needles just touch the grass and trees, and most of them are pitch black! Xie San wiped it, and shouted in a low voice: "It's very poisonous, if my brother came to grab the wall with both palms just now, and tried to fall into the ravine, wouldn't he be tricked again?" Hou Jianping was startled when he saw this, and broke out in a cold sweat. Xie San wiped off the silver needles, and tested the moss on the wall. As with grass and trees, so with moss! In other words, the Wushouhekou area is already full of poison! Xie San put away the silver needle, frowned at Hou Jianping and said: "What's the other party's intention of sealing the gullies with poison?"Don't they know that Gongsun girl, Dongfang girl and so on have already entered the abyss, so they specially use this kind of vicious Before he could say a word, Hou Jianping pulled Xie San, and flashed behind a pile of strange rocks about Zhang Xu away from the mouth of Wushou Valley. Xie San asked in a low voice: What warning sign did my brother find? Hou Jianping said: From the Nine Tribulation Peak, there are people coming again, it seems that there are three in total! Xie Sanfang's pale face turned hot, feeling ashamed secretly, is this stone queen poisonous? After Xie San tried it, the silver needle didn't change color at all. Seeing this, Hou Jianping smiled and said: Since there is no poison here, let's hold our breath and hide, maybe we can see what kind of poison the other party is using? At this point in the conversation, there were indeed three people walking towards Nine Tribulation Peak. It was Liu Xiaolin, the Witch of Thousand Flowers, with two young Miao girls. Liu Xiaolin walked to the mouth of the ravine, stood still, clasped her fists to the ravine, and shouted: "The rascal sent the letter to the Wanhua Palace just now, which senior is it?" Hearing this, Hou Jianping exchanged surprised glances with Xie San. There is no sorrow, quietly and without echo. Liu Xiaolin asked three times in a row before walking up to a dwarf old man from the bottom of the ravine. This old man is less than four feet tall, but he has gray beard and hair, and is dressed in Tsing Yi. It seems that he is at least seventy years old! Liu Xiaolin didn't seem to dare to underestimate the other party, so she clasped her fists again and asked: "Senior, your name is your name, what's the name of your treasure?" The dwarf old man proudly didn't answer, he just took out a silver name card from the big sleeve of the blue shirt he was wearing, and threw it at Liu Xiaolin in the air. Liu Xiaolin reached out to catch it, and when she looked closely, she saw the three big characters of Zhong Sunming written on the name card. When she saw it, she couldn't help trembling slightly, and said in a low voice: "Is the old man Zhong Sunming who was famous in the martial arts world sixty years ago?" Xie San secretly said to Hou Jianping: Brother Hou, if this dwarf old man is really Zhong Sunming, the king of all poisons, then Liu Xiaolin will be full of evil and will be punished immediately! Hou Jianping didn't understand what he meant, looked at Xie San and asked: "What does the old man say?" Xie San whispered: "Then Zhong Sunming is known as the Heavenly Lord of Hundred Poisons, almost all of his body and all the things he uses are poisonous!" When Hou Jianping heard this, he suddenly realized and said: I understand, the old man thinks that his silver name card is Hou Jianping's words were not finished, the dwarf old man was no longer silent, and said coldly after hearing the words: Liu Xiaolin, you are blind, Zhongsun Tianjun is my master, and I am just a medicine boy in front of his old man! The dwarf has gray beard and hair, and is over seventy years old, but he still willingly calls himself a medicine boy, which shows the majesty under the control of Zhong Sunming, the king of all poisons! Liu Xiaolin heard that the other party was not Zhong Sunming, the king of all poisons, and she couldn't help being fierce and arrogant, and the corner of her mouth twitched again, and she said in a condescending way: "I don't want to talk to my slaves, I ask your master to come forward and answer!" The dwarf old man was not angry, but said with a smile: Yes, I am a slave, but I am only a slave of my master Zhongsun Tianjun, not a slave of your Wanhua Palace. Minion hit? When Liu Xiaolin heard this, she furiously raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Fart!" While cursing, she swung her right palm fiercely, unexpectedly, she slapped the dwarf old man in blue with lightning speed. The dwarf old man smiled, and greeted him casually, with an extremely cold and arrogant expression, as if he didn't take this pretentious Witch of Ten Thousand Flowers into his eyes at all. With the palms together, the strong and weak will be judged. The dwarf old man stands on the ground, his body unshakable and his steps unmoving. Liu Xiaolin backed away four or five steps in a row, if there wasn't a big tree covering her body, she would have been shaken and rolled two or three feet away! If so, this Witch of Ten Thousand Flowers has already touched her chest with her hands, blood dripping from the corners of her lips, revealing a painful expression on her face! Hou Jianping couldn't help being very surprised when he saw it, and thought in his heart: Liu Xiaolin's skill is not bad, even if Dongfang Yao has transferred her cultivation base, she is only slightly better than her. How could a furnace guard medicine boy be so powerful? Even Hou Jianping was surprised by it, and the two Miao girls brought by Liu Xiaolin were even more amazed! Liu Xiaolin herself also frowned deeply, and said to herself involuntarily: "It's strange, my skill The dwarf old man laughed, and said, "What's your skill?"I can give you a four-word answer, which is to turn into nothing! Liu Xiaolin is a person who is used to playing evil tricks, when she heard what the dwarf old man said, she suddenly asked: Did you actually apply the extremely difficult Huagong Powder on that silver name card? The dwarf old man was quite proud, nodded and smiled and replied: "The Witch of Thousand Flowers deserves her reputation, she really has some knowledge!" Liu Xiaolin's silver teeth faltered, she shot a fierce look and asked: "Why did you only apply Hua Gong San on that silver name card?"Why not just poison me to death? The dwarf old man smiled and said: You are quite stupid to ask this question, you can't get on the road!Because I am a slave, and the duty of a slave is to follow orders! Liu Xiaolin said: "It's Zhong Sunming, the Lord of Hundred Poisons, who wants you The dwarf old man didn't wait for Liu Xiaolin to finish speaking, he said with a smile: "It's not Tianjun's order, it's Madam's order, if someone else comes, you can kill him with poison!"If it is Liu Xiaolin, the Witch of Thousand Flowers, she must be captured alive! Liu Xiaolin was surprised and said: Ma'am?Who is your wife? The dwarf old man smiled and said: It's an extra question, the wife of the Lord of Hundred Poisons is naturally Mrs. Baidu! Liu Xiaolin said: "It's Mrs. Baidu who is so special to me and wants to be captured alive?"Does she know me? The dwarf old man replied: I don't know the details, but I seem to have heard my wife say that you are her old handkerchief friend with deep affection! Liu Xiaolin's complexion darkened, she looked at the dwarf old man and scolded: "Nonsense, if this Mrs. Baidu is an old handkerchief friend with whom I have a deep affection, how can she still treat me like this?" The dwarf old man smiled and shook his head and said: Sorry, Miss Liu, as a slave, I can only obey my master's orders, and never dare to ask why! Liu Xiaolin sneered and said: You want to capture me alive, bah, it's really your Qingqiu dream! This Witch of Ten Thousand Flowers really has a lot of scheming, she just slapped the dwarf old man with a palm, and her viscera were greatly shaken, so she took a short rest by asking questions, so as not to aggravate the injury and affect her life if she did another move at that time! Now, I feel the turmoil of qi and blood in the viscera, gradually calming down, how can I be willing to be captured by life?So he wanted to overthrow the dwarf old man, escape back to Wanhua Palace first, and then ask his mother Liu Lin, the mother of Wanhua demon, and Xuanyuanxu, the long-smiling old demon, to try to release the medicinal power of the Hua Gong powder! The idea has been made up, but there is only one way to control people. Because Liu Xiaolin can't gather her true energy now, and her internal strength is hard to raise, if she wants to defeat the dwarf old man, she can only rely on the powerful hidden weapon, the five poisonous sand, which she carries beside her! Therefore, while she was speaking, she stretched out her hand, and when she was talking about dreaming of your Qingqiu dream, she had already stretched her hand into the leopard skin bag hanging at her waist. The dwarf old man didn't stop Liu Xiaolin's movements, he just coughed lightly! Although he coughed lightly, in fact, he exerted his inner family's strength and focused on Liu Xiaolin's side! To put it bluntly, Liu Xiaolin has already been poisoned, even if she is under normal conditions, this movement of reaching out to grab the sand is by no means as quick as the dwarf old man's coughing. In other words, Liu Xiaolin stretched out her hand to grab the five poisonous sands, and before she could grab it, she heard the coughing of the dwarf old man. Just this slight cough, to Liu Xiaolin, it was indeed a hundred times more powerful than being on top of Jiao Lei! Her whole body was shaken, her limbs convulsed and she fell to the ground, groaning miserably, how could she still have the power to injure someone with the five poisonous sand? Seeing this, a Miao girl jumped at the dwarf old man. 這老人自從變成侏儒，便跟隨仲孫明苦苦修練了六十年之久，功力自極精純，不是區區苗女所能抵禦！ 只見他一掌輕翻，迎著苗女來勢揮出，便把對方震得五臟齊崩，七竅溢血地屍飛數丈以外！ 侏儒老人震死苗女，又向劉小琳冷冷叫道：劉小琳，你少作怪，百毒天君的化功散與尋常不同，除了化功散氣，並可隨時控制，有折磨敵人作用！ 這時，劉小琳業已全身痙攣得氣若游絲，哪裏還能答話？ 另一苗女見狀，戟指侏儒老人叫道：老頭，你不要忘了，你主人是叫你生擒我家姑娘，並不是叫你把她害死！ 侏儒老人笑嘻嘻地連連點頭答道：我知道，只要我不再咳嗽，劉小琳雖然受點活罪，卻決不會死！ 說至此處，又取出一封書信，遞向那名苗女說道：這封信兒，你帶回萬花宮去，讓劉小琳之母劉琳或長笑老天魔軒轅旭觀看。 有了劉小琳接那銀色名帖的前車之鑒，這名苗女哪裏還敢伸手接取這封書信？ 侏儒老人看出苗女心意，失笑說道：你不要怕，這封書信之上，並無毒質！ 苗女仍存怯意，侏儒老人指著另外那具苗女屍體，揚眉說道：以你這點功力，我若想要殺你，委實易如反掌，何必還費心思，借信傳毒呢？ 這幾句話說得理由充足，不似虛假！ 那苗女略一遲疑，終於大著膽兒，伸手把信接過。 侏儒老人道：信上說得明白，只要你們於十日之內，不在無愁壑周圍，有所行動，我家天君夫人，便放回一個活的萬花魔女！ 那苗女聞言之下，不禁怔了一怔！ 侏儒老人不再理她，抓起那位彷彿只剩奄奄一息，無法再發兇威的萬花魔女劉小琳來，便自走向無愁壑下。 那苗女當然不敢攔阻，目送侏儒老人的身形消失之後，便神色倉皇地奔回九劫峰頭。 轉眼間，無愁壑口已呈一片死寂，只剩下一具慘死女屍，仆在亂石堆內。 謝三推了推侯劍平道：侯老弟，這樁事兒到著實出人意外，只可惜劉小琳不是落在我們手中，否則，東郭神君的生命安全，便毫無問題了！ 侯劍平默然不語，眉峰深聚，神情頗為凝重！ 謝三問道：侯老弟，你你雙眉愁鎖，是是在想些什麼？ 侯劍平指著無愁壑口，苦笑答道：我是因百毒天君仲孫明已用毒封壑，遂苦思怎樣不懼毒力的下壑之策。 謝三咦了一聲，向侯劍平問道：侯老弟要下壑則甚？是鬥仲孫明？是救劉小琳？ 侯劍平聽謝三說至此處，接口說道：以邪制邪，是無上妙處，我們何必於此時插手，鬥甚仲孫明？救甚劉小琳？讓他們兩虎相爭，坐觀成敗多好！ 謝三點頭道：對呀，既然如此，侯老弟何必還 侯劍平沉聲接道：老人家難道忘了公孫姑娘和歐陽姑娘，如今正在這無愁壑下！ 謝三被侯劍平一言提醒，頓足失聲道：哎呀，公孫姑娘等既在無愁壑中，定與百毒天君仲孫明撞上，他們的安危問題著實可慮！ 他們正在相對愁眉，無計可施之際，無愁壑下，突又有人影閃動縱起。 侯劍平與謝三退後兩步，定睛看時，來的仍是適才那位青衣侏儒老人。 但這侏儒老人如今不單神情和善，並禮貌甚恭地向侯劍平抱拳說道：老奴參見侯相公。 侯劍平聞言一怔，目注侏儒老人問道：尊駕怎樣知我姓侯？ 侏儒老人笑嘻嘻地取出一封書信，向侯劍平雙手遞去。 侯劍平因適才曾見劉小琳大上惡當，故而有點遲疑不敢伸手接信。 侏儒老人笑道：我們不是敵人，這信上不曾淬毒 語音至此微頓，向侯劍平看了一眼，含笑又道：侯相公若不放心，老奴便把這封書信放在青石之上，等侯相公驗明無毒，再加開拆便了！ 說完，便把那封書信放在石上，轉身下壑而去。 謝三等了片刻，見對方是當真走去，遂向侯劍平笑道：侯老弟，百毒天君仲孫明，是目空一切的蓋世老魔，如今居然對你套起交情，倒也是一樁不可思議怪事！ 侯劍平莫明其妙，劍眉雙蹙說道：這事確實怪極，我和仲孫明毫不相識，便連師門中，也談不上任何淵源，他手下的侏儒老人，卻對我執禮甚恭則甚？ 謝三笑道：我們慢點研究百毒天君仲孫明為何對老弟大套近乎之故，且先研究這封書信是否可以拆開？ 侯劍平向石上書信看了一眼，揚眉說道：拆不拆信的先決條件，是要察看清楚這封書信之上，究竟有毒無毒。 謝三點頭說道：這事不難，也應該如此慎重，我以探毒銀針一測之下，便知分曉！ 語音一畢，立即取出銀針，加以測探。 謝三細加測探，銀針毫未變色，足證那侏儒老人並非虛言，信上果未曾淬毒！ 侯劍平緩步向前，伸手欲取書信，軒眉說道：既然無毒，我們便看看信上說些什麼？ 謝三深恐仍有意外變化，遂搶先取起書信，一面拆封，一面含笑說道：我來拆封便了，這封外寫著平弟開拆，字跡娟秀，不像是男子手筆。 侯劍平驚道：平弟？稱我平弟之人不多，難道這封書信，竟竟是我東方瑤姊姊寫的？ 謝三把那封書信遞向侯劍平道：我已拆封，內容則請受信人先行過目便了！ 他因持信多時並無異樣感覺，拆封之際，也無變化，才放心向侯劍平遞去。 侯劍平伸手接過，抽出信箋，只見箋上大意是： 一、無愁壑口已為奇毒所封，決不可妄思下壑，並在左近逗留！ 二、公孫璿與歐陽紅另有奇遇，毫無危險，不必為她們擔心，可在寒潭之旁等她們前去相會。 三、自己正安排以邪制邪的上乘妙計中，千萬不許加以破壞，否則，此生此世永不相見！ 箋末，署了龍飛鳳舞的東方二字。 侯劍平看完信中所說，遞與謝三道：老人家請看，這封信果然是東方瑤姊姊寫的，我不懂她與百毒天君仲孫明又有什麼淵源，竟能利用這蓋世魔頭施展以邪制邪之計？ 謝三看畢書信，向侯劍平含笑說道：侯老弟，我覺得東方姑娘之能與仲孫明拉上關係，並不算過分意外！ 侯劍平道：老人家有何高見？ 謝三雙目之中，微閃神光，軒眉說道：老弟難道忘了東方姑娘的母親無愁艷鬼東方萍出身不正，也是邪道中人，或許與仲孫明有深厚交誼！ 侯劍平聽得連連點頭，目注謝三說道：對極，對極，我東方姊姊會與仲孫明拉上關係，必是老人家所猜的這種緣故！ 這一老一少以為猜對，其實誰也猜不到東方瑤為了以邪制邪，降魔衛道，業已不惜犧牲地下嫁仲孫明，得了個百毒夫人稱號。 謝三見侯劍平同意自己的這種看法，遂微笑問道：侯老弟準備怎樣？照不照東方姑娘的信上所說行事？ 侯劍平指著東方瑤所寫書信的末後兩語，皺眉苦笑地長嘆一聲說道：老人家請看這此生此世，永不相見等八個字兒，說得多重！我東方姊姊外和內剛，她既說得出，便做得到呢！ 謝三笑道：老弟既欲遵從東方姑娘之信，便不宜在這無愁壑口多作逗留了！ 侯劍平點頭說道：我們在此逗留並欲下壑之故，是為了擔心璿妹與歐陽姑娘安危，如今既知她們另有奇遇，自可放心離去！ 謝三聽了侯劍平這樣說法，便自揚眉笑道：我們走吧，但是否回轉寒潭，卻須考慮考慮！ 侯劍平注目問道：考慮什麼？ 謝三笑道：黑衣人魔鄔必通吃了那大苦頭，定把我們恨入骨髓，如今的寒潭周圍，多半佈滿了厲害埋伏！ 侯劍平想了一想，向謝三頷首說道：根據適才柳如綿和劉小琳在谷口埋伏的情形看來，萬花宮中群魔確實不會對我們輕易放過，我們若回寒潭無殊自投羅網！ 謝三苦笑說道：但我們不回寒潭卻又不行，因為公孫姑娘與歐陽姑娘於奇遇功成之後，要到寒潭相聚，我們若不加以策應招呼，她們在猝然不備之下，豈非又要受到危害折損？ 侯劍平把東方瑤所書信箋，揣在懷中，邊自前行，邊向謝三叫道：老人家可有妙策？在這種情況之下，我們豈不成了進退兩難了嗎？ 謝三於雙眉深蹙，細一尋思以後說道：妙策雖然想不出來，我倒有個險策在此！ 侯劍平道：什麼叫做險策？ 謝三一面把侯劍平引向與九劫峰相對的另一山峰，一面微笑說道：我打算不走谷口，改從這峰腰之上，尋個突出所在，由半空躍入寒潭，群邪縱設埋伏，也未必阻擋得住！ 侯劍平笑道：這法兒極妙，我們若能進入寒潭秘洞，便可據險自守，極為安全地等待璿妹與歐陽姑娘歸來聚合 說至此處，面含詫色地向謝三問道：老人家所想出的這條妙計，似乎毫無危險，甚是安全，你為何說是險策？ 謝三取出身邊所帶酒瓶，飲了一口笑道：倘若九劫群魔趁我們離去之際，業已派人從峰壁暗穴進入水洞相待，則我們豈非以身涉險，被他們甕中捉鱉了嗎？ 侯劍平好生佩服地目注謝三，失聲讚道：老人家的心思真細，想得太以周到！ 謝三笑道：故而我打算單人入潭，若是發現情況平安，再招呼老弟也自躍下！ 侯劍平咦了一聲，蹙眉問道：老人家一人入潭，豈非其勢更孤，危險更甚？ 謝三搖頭笑道：不妨事，我可在水中悄悄探望，有這寒潭弱水作為保護，就算是軒轅老魔親自埋伏在水洞之內，也無奈我何，但若多了老弟一人，就有些照顧不周了！ 侯劍平知他所言是實，劍眉微揚說道：其實我自得東方姊姊功力轉注，自覺進境不小，真想和那班自命不凡的惡煞兇魔放手一搏！ 謝三向他勸慰地溫言含笑說道：雙方決戰之期，已在目前，老弟還宜暫加忍耐，莫於聲勢太孤之下，與對方逞強硬鬥！因為你萬一有甚失閃，使群魔手中添了挾制，則萬花大會時，令師杜大俠必將處處掣肘！ 侯劍平無可奈何，只好點頭從命。 兩人上到峰腰，尋塊突出大石，悄悄藏身其上，注目四下察看。 寒潭就在石下二十來丈之處，四周靜悄悄地未見絲毫人影！ 侯劍平以蟻語傳聲，向謝三叫道：老人家，對方是並未在此設伏？還是心機太深，埋伏得特別嚴密？ 謝三軒眉叫道：此事僅憑猜測難獲結論，等我下去看看，便知分曉！ 語音才落，身形縱處，已如一隻絕大魚鷹般，從二十餘丈的高空之上，直投寒潭弱水。 侯劍平聚精會神，伏身大石之上，觀察動靜！ 因為群魔若在潭邊設伏，此時必會用暗器等物向謝三身形加以襲擊！ 誰知直等謝三身形投入寒潭，也未見有絲毫異狀！ 侯劍平不禁放下心來，靜等謝三進入密洞，察看情況後，向自己發出招呼。 半晌過後，潭內寂然！ 這事情出人意料，因為根據約定，無論密洞中有無敵蹤，謝三均應與自己互通訊息。 難道洞中埋伏太以厲害，謝三竟失慎被擒？ 侯劍平的這種猜想猜得不錯，謝三不單業已遇險，並在未能進入那峰腹密洞之前，便已中了算計。 原來當他剛剛投入水中，尚未沉到潭底之際，便發現萬花宮中群魔著實手眼通天，心腸歹毒，竟乘著自己與侯劍平離去的一段時間，在近潭底處設了一張巨網！ 謝三是從高空投水，落勢太速，故在發現巨網之時，人已入了網內！ 對方反應極快，立即便將那巨網收緊。 假如謝三的軟劍未失，還可以割網脫困，如今卻只好像條大魚般，活生生地讓人網去。 設伏之人既有收網動作，為何在峰腰細心觀察的侯劍平，竟毫未發現異狀！ 因為群魔是把網繩設在峰腰山洞，故而這收網擒人動作，是在水中施為，外面自無所見。 謝三被人網去，也就是把他拉到了那峰腹密洞之中。 謝三剛剛看見密洞中，站著桃花娘子柳如綿，和另外一位四十來歲的宮裝艷婦時，那宮裝艷婦便屈指遙彈，隔著網繩，把謝三點了穴道。 柳如綿解開網兒，向謝三獰笑問道：謝老花子，我那乖兒子侯劍平呢？他怎麼沒有和你一同回到這自以為萬分安全的避難所在？ 謝三知曉她們既埋伏洞內，必然不知侯劍平人在峰上之事，遂冷然一笑說道：侯老弟如今正與他恩師鐵劍神醫杜大俠，商議怎麼大破魔巢，並處置你這無恥妖婦，為父報仇之計！ 那宮裝中年艷婦，聞言愕然問道：杜大俠不是已走了麼？怎又這快回來？ 謝三索性誇大其詞，使對方莫測高深地，雙眉一挑哈哈，大笑說道：豈僅杜大俠業已回來，連北嶽神尼妙音師太和辣手仙婆焦老太太等兩位絕世高手，也均趕到，若非杜大俠一再相勸，那位性如烈火的焦仙婆，便準備不等會期，先行殺上九劫峰去，為她妹妹焦二婆婆報仇雪恨！ 這些話兒完全是針對情況而說，不由對方不信。 柳如綿聽得北嶽神尼與辣手仙婆業已雙雙趕到，不由臉色微變，吃了一驚！ 但那宮裝中年艷婦，卻哂然一笑說道：謝老花子，你少耀武揚威，狗仗人勢，妙音老尼與焦老婆婆雖負虛名，我劉琳也未必就怕了她們！ 謝三目光一亮，凝注這位看來約莫四十余歲的宮裝艷婦，挑眉問道：你你就是萬花魔宮的主人，萬花魔母劉琳麼？ 劉琳冷冷一笑，目中厲芒如電地點頭答道：不錯，我就是萬花魔母，你這老花子十分刁鑽可惡，我且讓你嚐嚐我獨門手法萬花散骨的滋味如何？ 話完，功力微聚，便待將謝三出手。 謝三靈機一動，向劉琳高聲叫道：劉琳，我警告你，你千萬莫要對我施展任何惡毒手法，否則你將追悔不及！ 劉琳咦了一聲，嘴角微撇說道：我追悔什麼？難道憑你這窩囊廢的老花子，還有金鋼不壞的護身能力，和回元反震的神奇造詣麼？ 謝三胸有成竹地嘿嘿怪笑說道：我謝老花子除了自詡水性絕不後人之外，並沒有什麼精深武功，但你只要輕輕碰我一指，便等於挖掉你自己的一塊心頭肉呢！ 這幾句話兒相當唐兀，聽得萬花魔母劉琳與桃花娘子
