Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Building Walls
The disciples of Wanmen were in chaos for a while, so what enemy could they chase?
Wan Zhenshan told Qi Fang not to bring up the matter of losing the sword manual to his brothers.Qi Fang wholeheartedly agreed.Over the years, she has become more and more aware that among Master Wanmen's apprentices and senior brothers, everyone has their own plans, you guard me, and I guard you.Wan Zhenshan was frightened and angry, and returned to his room, only contemplating the marks of the flowers and butterflies.Who is the enemy?Why did you send the sword manual?But snatched it again?Is it the one who saved Yan Daping?Or Yan Daping himself?
Wan Gui galloped while chasing the enemy, the blood flow accelerated, the wound on the back of his hand started to hurt again, he lay on the bed to rest, and fell asleep after a while.
Qi Fang thought: This book is useful, if it is soaked in blood for a long time, it will definitely be soaked!She went to the room and called Third Brother twice. Seeing that he was in a deep sleep, she came out and picked up the copper basin, and poured out the bloody water in the patio downstairs, revealing the book. She thought to herself: Water spinach is so good!A smile appeared on his face.
The book was soaked in blood and had a stench, Qi Fang didn't want to take it with her hands, thinking: why hide it there?I remembered that sieves, hoes, stone mortars, fans and other sundries were always piled up in the west side room of the back garden. At this time, no one was determined to go there. Now I picked some leaves from the chrysanthemums in the garden to cover the book, just like holding a plate of chrysanthemum leaves. , came to the back garden.She walked into the west side room, put the book in the fan belly of Fangu, thinking: This fan will only be used when the rent-collecting valley is in use.Hidden here, no one will find it.
She held the washbasin, hummed softly, and came back pretending to be okay. When she passed the corridor, suddenly a person appeared from the corner of the wall and said in a low voice, "At midnight tonight, I will wait for you in the woodshed, don't forget!It was Wu Kan.
Qi Fang was worried in her heart, but when she suddenly saw him say these words, her heart beat even harder, and she spit out: "There's nothing to die for, the dog is so courageous, he even wants to die?"Wu Kan salivated and said: I sacrificed my life for you, I really do it willingly.Sister-in-law, do you want an antidote?Qi Fang gritted her teeth, stretched her left hand into her bosom, grasped the handle of the dagger, then pulled out the dagger unexpectedly, and snatched the antidote for him.
Wu Kan grinned and said in a low voice: If you make a move like a mountain rising from the face of a person, and stab me with a straight knife, I will use a move to avoid it, and with a casual swipe, I will drop the antidote into the water cylinder.As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and in his palm was the bottle of antidote.He was afraid that Qi Fang would come and snatch her away, so he took two steps back.
Qi Fang knew that she couldn't take it by force, so she turned sideways and walked past him.
Wu Kan said in a low voice: I will only wait for you to arrive at the third watch, if you don't come at the third watch, I will take the antidote and leave after the fourth watch, Gao Fei will go away and never return to Jingzhou.Even if the surname Wu was going to die, he couldn't die under the hands of Wan's father and son.
Qi Fang returned to the room, only to hear Wan Gui moaning uncontrollably, obviously the scorpion poison had flared up again.She sat by the bed, thinking: He poisoned Senior Brother Di with extremely despicable means, but the big mistake has already been made, so what can he do?That's my brother's fate, and it's also my fate.He has treated me very well in the past few years. I marry a chicken and follow a chicken, and I have always followed him as a husband and wife in my life.Wu Kan is such a hateful thief, how can he get his antidote?Seeing Wan Gui's haggard face and sunken eyes, he thought to himself: Third brother is seriously injured, if I tell him, he will fight Wu Kan desperately in a fit of rage, only to make things worse.
It was getting dark, Qi Fang ate dinner indiscriminately, put her daughter to bed, after much deliberation, she had to tell her father-in-law, guessing that he was scheming and must have a good plan.I can't let my husband know about this matter. I have to wait until he is asleep before going to tell my father-in-law.Qi Fang and her clothes lay at Wan Gui's feet.In the past few days to serve her husband, she has never taken off her clothes, and has not had a good night's sleep.When Wan Gui's breath was deep, she quietly got up, went downstairs, and came outside Wan Zhenshan's house.
The lights in the room have been turned off, but there are bursts of strange sounds, hey, hey, hey!It seems that someone is doing something with great effort.Qi Fang was very surprised, she retracted the words "father-in-law" that had already reached the point of her mouth, and opened the window to the room.At that time, the moonlight shone obliquely, and reflected into the room through the window paper. Wan Zhenshan was lying on his back on the bed, slowly pushing his hands into the air, but his eyes were tightly closed.
Qi Fang thought: It turns out that my father-in-law is practicing advanced inner strength.When practicing internal skills, it is most forbidden to be disturbed by the outside world, otherwise it is very easy to go crazy.You can't call him at this time, wait until he finishes practicing kung fu.
Wan Zhenshan pushed his hands in the air for a while, then sat up slowly, stretched his legs out of the bed, took a few steps forward, squatted down, and stretched out his hands to grab something in the air.Qi Fang thought to herself: My father-in-law is practicing grappling techniques.After watching for a while, Wan Zhenshan's gestures became more and more strange, his hands kept grabbing something in the air, and then neatly arranged them together, as if they were stacking many bricks, but Under the moonlight, it was clear that there was nothing on the floor.
I saw him grabbing in the air for a while, comparing his hands, he seemed to think it was big enough, so he picked up a big object on the ground with both hands, and stuffed it forward, Qi Fang was very confused, seeing Wan Zhenshan His eyes are still closed, his every move does not look like he is practicing kung fu, but rather like a dumb man performing a show.
Suddenly, she thought of the words that Tao Hong said outside the ruined ancestral hall: Master gets up in the middle of the night to build the wall!
But Wan Zhenshan's actions are definitely not building a wall. If it has anything to do with the top of the wall, it is tearing down a hole in the wall.
Qi Fang felt a burst of fear: Yes!The father-in-law suffers from the disease of leaving the soul.It is said that people with this disease will get up and walk to do things in their sleep.Some people walk on the roof without clothes, some even kill and set fire, but they don't know anything after waking up.
After Wan Zhenshan stuffed empty heavy objects into the empty hole in the wall, he piled them up a few times in the air, and then picked up the empty bricks from the ground to build the wall.
Yes, he really was building a wall!Smile on your face and build the wall triumphantly!
When Qi Fang saw his gloomy appearance at first, she was a little creepy, but when she saw that he was really building a wall, she had a preconceived idea in her heart, so she was not afraid, she thought: According to Tao Hong's words, this father-in-law I have suffered from the disease of leaving the soul for a long time.Most people who are sick don't want to be known.Tao Hong was in the same room with him, and her father-in-law would naturally be very unhappy when he learned the truth.In this way, I solved a doubt in my heart, understood why Taohong was expelled, and thought: I don't know how long it will take him to build the wall, if after the third watch, that fellow Wu Kan really destroys the antidote and escapes, that would be terrible.
But seeing Wan Zhenshan put all the bricks that had been removed into the hole in the wall, and then began to paint the limestone, until the kung fu was done properly, then he smiled and went to bed to sleep peacefully.
Qi Fang thought to herself: Father-in-law has been busy for a long time, and his mind has not yet settled down. Let him rest for a while, and I will call him again.
At this moment, someone knocked lightly on the door a few times, followed by someone calling in a low voice: Daddy, Daddy!It was the voice of her husband Wan Gui.Qi Fang was slightly startled: Why is the third brother also here?What is he here for?
Wan Zhenshan immediately sat up, regained his composure, and asked, "Is that Gui'er?"Wan Gui said: It's me!Wan Zhenshan jumped out of bed, unlatched the door, let Wan Gui in, and asked, "Have you got the information about the sword manual?"Wan Gui called out: Dad!Reach out and hold the back of the chair with your left hand.The moonlight reflected into the room through the paper window, shining on his hazy figure, which seemed to be shaking slightly.
Qi Fang was afraid that her shadow would be reflected on the window, so she shrank under the window and listened sideways, not daring to watch the movement of the two of them.
Wan Gui called Dad again, and said: Your daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law is not a good person.Qi Fang was surprised: Why did he say that?Wan Zhenshan also asked: What's the matter?Did the young couple quarrel?Wan Gui said: "I found the sword manual, it was your daughter-in-law who took it."Wan Zhenshan said happily: "It's good to find it!"over there?
Qi Fang was extremely surprised: How did you let him know?Mostly water spinach, the little guy couldn't help but say it.But Wan Gui's next words immediately let her know that her guess was wrong.Wan Gui told his father: he saw Qi Fang and his daughter exchanged glances, with different expressions, and expected something strange, so he pretended to be asleep, but watched Qi Fang's movements from the crack of the door, and saw her walking towards the back garden with a copper basin in her hand. Following quietly, she saw that she hid the sword manual in a fan in the west side room of the back garden.
Qi Fang sighed in her heart: My father-in-law, this book is finally available to my father-in-law and third brother.If you want to get it back, it will be extremely difficult.Okay, I admit defeat, the third brother is much better than me.
Wan Zhenshan said: "That's very good."Let's go and get it out, you pretend you don't know anything, and see what happens to her.If she doesn't mention it, you don't have to tell the truth.I've always wondered where this book came from.I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid he said three times in a row, but he didn't go on.
Wan Gui shouted: Father!The voice seemed very painful.Wan Zhenshan shouted: What?Wan Gui said: "Your daughter-in-law stole this sword manual from us because she said this, her voice trembled."Wan Zhenshan said: For whom?Wan Gui said: So it's because of that bastard Wu Kan!
Qi Fang's heart fluttered violently, she could hardly believe her ears, she just said in her heart: I am for Daddy.How can I say that I am for Wu Kan?For Wu Kan, that bastard?
Wan Zhenshan's voice was also full of surprise: For Wu Kan?Wan Gui said: Yes!I saw this bitch hiding the sword manual in the back garden, so I followed her from a distance, but I knew she would go out on the corridor and flirt with that guy Wu Kan, this whore is so shameless!Wan Zhenshan pondered and said: I think she is usually a well-behaved person, she doesn't look like this kind of person.Did you read that right?What did the two of them say?Wan Gui said: "My child is afraid of their perception, so I don't dare to get too close. There is no hiding place in the corridor, I can only hide behind the corner."These two dogs and men spoke very softly, and they couldn't hear them all, but they heard most of them.Wan Zhenshan hummed, and said, "Boy, don't be impatient.Why does a man have no wife?After we have obtained the sword manual and found out the secrets in it, we will be rich in the world in a blink of an eye. If you want to buy a hundred concubines, that's easy.Sit down and speak slowly!
Wan Gui sat on the bed and said out of breath, "That whore has hidden the books, she is very proud, and she actually hums a ditty."When the adulterer saw her, his face was full of joy, and he said: "At midnight tonight, I will wait for you in the woodshed, don't forget!"Indeed, these few words, I can hear clearly.Wan Zhenshan said angrily: What about that little whore?Wan Gui said: She said: There is no good to die, a dog is so courageous, it will not even die!
Qi Fang was in a state of confusion when she heard it outside the window: He and he both kept calling me an adulterer, how could they wrong him so much?Third brother, I have a heart for you, and I want to get back the antidote and heal your wounds.You insult me like this, but do you still have a conscience?
Only Wan Gui continued: I, I heard what they said, and my heart became angry, wishing to draw my sword and go forward to kill the two of them.It's just that I didn't bring a sword, and I was weak from the injury, so I couldn't argue with them openly, so I hurried back to the room immediately, lest the thief and adulteress wouldn't see me when she returned to the room and become suspicious.I didn't hear what the adulterer and adulterer said in the future.Wan Zhenshan said: Humph, like a father, like a daughter, as expected, they are all shameless people.We went to get the sword manual first, and then waited outside the firewood room.Catch the adulterer and catch the pair, and tell the pair of dogs and men to die without complaint!Wan Gui said: "The adulteress is so passionate that she would have gone out before the third watch, and now she is talking and her teeth are gnashing loudly.Wan Zhenshan said: Then let's go right away.You have the sword, but don't make a move yet, wait for me to cut off the brothers and feet of the two of them, and then you will take the lives of these dogs and men with your own hands.
The door was pushed open, Wan Zhenshan put his left hand under Wan Gui's armpit, and the two ran straight to the back garden.
Qi Fang leaned against the wall, tears rolling down her skirt.She only hoped to heal her husband's injury, but he was so suspicious of herself.My father never came back, Brother Di was wronged by me, and now my husband treats me like this, how can I live like this?She was at a loss, she really didn't want to live anymore, she didn't expect to argue with her husband, she didn't expect to ask Wu Kan to confront her, but she was paralyzed and leaned against the wall.
After a while, only the sound of footsteps was heard, Wan's father and son returned to the hall, stood still and discussed in a low voice.Wan Gui said: Father, why didn't you just kill Wu Kan in the firewood room?Wan Zhenshan said: "There is only the adulterer in the firewood room."The thief and whore must have gotten wind of it and slipped away first.We can't catch rape and double, we are big families in Jingzhou city, how can we kill people so easily?After getting this sword manual, we have many things to do in Jingzhou, if you can't bear it, you will make a big mess, so don't mess around!Wan Gui said, "Is that all there is to it?"How can the boy's breath be relieved?Wan Zhenshan said: Isn't it easy to vent your anger?Let's do it the old way!Wan Gui said: The old way?
Wan Zhenshan said: The old way to deal with Qi Changfa!He paused, and said: You go back to the room first, I will order someone to spread the word to gather all the disciples, and then you come outside my room with everyone.Don't be suspicious.
Qi Fang's mind was in a mess and she had no idea at all, she just thought: I don't want to live anymore when I get to this stage, but what about the water spinach?Who will take care of her?Hearing Wan Zhenshan suddenly say that he wants to deal with Wu Kan the same way he used to deal with Qi Changfa, it was as if a piece of ice had been put on his head, and he immediately became sober: How did they deal with my father?It is necessary to check and find out.The father-in-law told all the disciples to come outside the room, so we couldn't wait here, but where did they hide to eavesdrop?
Hearing that Wan Gui agreed to go, Wan Zhenshan went outside the hall and shouted for the servant to hold the lamp.Not long after, human voices could be faintly heard from the front and back halls, and all the disciples and servants gathered around.Qi Fang knew that as soon as a moment passed, someone would pass by the window immediately, she hesitated for a moment, and immediately walked into Wan Zhenshan's room, lifted the bed curtain, and got under the bed.The bed curtains were hanging down to the ground, if someone hadn't lifted them deliberately, there would never be a trace of her.
She was lying on the bottom of the bed, and soon light came in from under the curtain of the bed. Someone lit a lamp, came in and placed it in the room.She saw Wan Zhenshan's pair of feet wearing double beam shoes stepping into the room, and these feet moved to the chair, and the chair made a soft rattling sound, Wan Zhenshan sat down, and heard him scream The servant closes the door.
Eldest brother Lu Kun said outside the room: "Master, we are all here, and we will listen to your old man's orders."Wan Zhenshan said: Very good, you come in first!Qi Fang saw the door was pushed open, Lu Kun's pair of feet walked in, and the door closed again.
Wan Zhenshan said: "There are enemies coming to us, do you know that?"Lu Kun said: Who is it?The disciples do not know.Wan Zhenshan said: This man pretended to be a drug seller and came to our house today.Qi Fang thought: Does he know who the medicine seller is, who is that person?Lu Kun said: I have heard about it from Junior Brother Wu.Master, who is this enemy?Wan Zhenshan said: "This person is disguised, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't figure out his details."Tomorrow morning, you go to the north of the city to check carefully.Now you go out first, I have something to assign later.Lu Kun agreed to go out.
Wan Zhenshan called his fourth disciple, Sun Jun, and fifth disciple, Bu Yuan, to come in one by one. He said roughly the same thing. He asked Sun Jun to inspect the south of the city, and Bu Yuan to inspect the east of the city.When instructing Bu Yuan, he casually added: Ask Wu Kan to visit the area west of the city, and Feng Tan and Shen Cheng should report the information.Your brother Wan is still injured and cannot go out.Bu Yuan said: Yes, Brother Wan should rest more.open the door and go out.
Qi Fang knew that these words were deliberately told to Wu Kan, so that he would not be suspicious.Wan Zhenshan said: "Wu Kan come in!"The voice was exactly the same as when Lu Kun and the others were summoned, neither harsher nor particularly gentle.
Seeing that the door opened again, Qi Fang hesitated a little when Wu Kan stepped over the threshold with his right foot, but finally walked in.The feet moved a few steps towards Wan Zhenshan and stopped. Qi Fang saw the hem of his robe slightly moving, and knew that he was afraid and trembling.
Just listen to Wan Zhenshan's way: "There are enemies coming to us, do you know that?"Wu Kan said: "The disciple heard from the master outside the door that he is the medicine seller."This person was asked by the disciple to come to treat Senior Brother Wan. I really didn't expect him to be an enemy. Please forgive me, Master.Wan Zhenshan said: This person is disguised, if you can't see him, it's your fault.Tomorrow morning, go to the west of the city to check. If you see him, you must pay attention to his movements.Wu Kan said: Yes!
All of a sudden, Wan Zhenshan moved his feet and stood up. Qi Fang couldn't help stretching out her hand to lift a corner of the bed curtain and stretched it out. After seeing it, she couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and almost cried out.
I saw that Wan Zhenshan's hands were already strangling Wu Kan's throat, and Wu Kan stretched out his hands to strangle Wan Zhenshan's hands, but it was useless.But Wu Kan's eyes protruded outwards, like goldfish, opening wider and wider.The backs of Wan Zhenshan's hands were scratched with bloodstains by Wu Kan's nails, but he grabbed Wu Kan by the throat and refused to let go no matter what.Wu Kan couldn't make a sound, but twisted his body. After a while, his hands slowly opened and lowered.Seeing his tongue sticking out, Qi Fang looked terrified, and couldn't help being terrified.Seeing that Wu Kan finally stopped moving, Wan Zhenshan let go of his hand, put him on the chair, picked up two pre-soaked tissue papers on the table, and stuck them on his mouth and nose.As a result, he could no longer breathe, and he could not wake up.
Qi Fang's heart was beating wildly, thinking: Father-in-law said that they belonged to a family from Jingzhou, they should not kill people casually, Wu Kan's father heard that he was a local gentleman, so he must not let it go, this matter will become a big deal.
At this moment, Wan Zhenshan suddenly heard shouting loudly: You should confess what you did, do you still want me to do it?Qi Fang was startled: So my father-in-law saw me.But I was not panicked in my heart, but felt a sense of relief: It's fine to die in his hands, anyway, I don't want to live anymore!
Just about to get out from under the bed, Wu Kan suddenly heard Wu Kan say: Master, what do you want the disciple to confess?
Qi Fang's shock was no small matter, why did Wu Kan speak, did he come back from the dead?But obviously not, he reclined on the chair, motionless.Looking up from under the bed, he saw Wan Zhenshan's lips moving.What?It was the father-in-law who was talking, not Wu Kan.Why is it obviously Wu Kan's voice?Wan Zhenshan said loudly again: What confession?Hmph, Wu Kan, you are so bold, you are cooperating with bandits, and you want to make a big case in Jingzhou City?
Master, what kind of case is your disciple doing?
This time Qi Fang could see clearly that Wan Zhenshan was imitating Wu Kan's voice, it's hard for him to imitate it so much.My father-in-law actually has the ability to imitate people's speech, but I never knew, what is his intention of imitating Wu Kan's voice so loudly?She faintly thought of one thing, but it was just a hazy shadow, and she couldn't figure it out at all, but felt an inexplicable fear in her heart.
Wan Zhenshan said: Hmph, do you think I don't know?You brought the drug seller to Jingzhou City, this man is actually a gangster, Wu Kan, you colluded with him and wanted to break into
Master broke into what?
You want to break into the prefect's mansion and steal a confidential document, right?Wu Kan, you still want to deny it?
Master, how do you know?Master, please forgive me this time for the sake of my disciple's filial piety to you, my disciple will never dare again!
How can such a big event be left alone?
Qi Fang realized that Wan Zhenshan's accent was not very similar to Wu Kan's. He just lowered his voice and spoke very vaguely. Come on, naturally it will be Wu Kan who is talking.What's more, everyone saw Wu Kan walking into the room, heard him talking to Wan Zhenshan, and when he continued speaking, although the voice was not the same, but besides Wu Kan, how could there be anyone else?Moreover, in Wan Zhenshan's words, he was called Wu Kan from time to time.
Wan Zhenshan gently lifted Wu Kan's body, slowly bent down, and lifted the curtain of the bed with his left hand.Qi Fang was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating: Father-in-law must have found me, this time he will strangle me to death!Under the dim light, a head came in from under the bed, it was Wu Kan's head, his eyes were wide open, it really looked like the head of a dead goldfish.Qi Fang had no choice but to try her best to avoid it, but Wu Kan's body couldn't help squeezing in, touching her legs and then her waist.
Wan Zhenshan sat back on his chair and shouted sharply: Wu Kan, why don't you kneel down?I tied you to see Prefect Ling.Whether to forgive or not is his business, I can't be the master.
Master, can you really not forgive your disciple?
If you train such a disciple, you will lose all face of the Wan family, how can I spare you?
Qi Fang looked through the cracks in the bed curtains, and saw Wan Zhenshan pull out a dagger from his waist, and gently inserted it into his chest.His chest was obviously covered with cork, wet mud, bread, and the like. The dagger was inserted into it, and it remained there.
Just as Qi Fang understood, Wan Zhenshan said loudly: "Wu Kan, don't you kneel down yet!"Then he lowered his voice and imitated Wu Kan's voice: Master, you forced me, so don't blame me, disciple!Wan Zhenshan yelled: Ouch!He kicked open the window and shouted: "Little thief, how dare you commit murder!"
There was a bang, someone kicked open the door, Wan Gui rushed in first (he knew he should break in at this time), Lu Kun, Sun Jun, Bu Yuan and other disciples followed.Wan Zhenshan pressed his chest, with blood dripping from his fingers (probably holding a small bottle of red water in his hand), he swayed, pointed at the window, and shouted: This thief Wu Kan stabbed me and ran away!Hurry up!After saying these few words, he leaned over and fell on the bed.
Wan Gui screamed: Daddy, Daddy, how are you hurt?
Lu Kun, Sun Jun, Bu Yuan, Feng Tan, and Shen Cheng jumped out of the window one after another, and chased after them yelling.Back and forth in the mansion, many people screamed in alarm.
Qi Fang lay on the bottom of the bed, feeling that Wu Kan's body was getting colder and colder.She was terrified in her heart, but she didn't dare to move.The father-in-law is lying on the bed, and the husband is standing in front of the bed.
Wan Zhenshan could only be heard asking in a low voice: Is anyone suspicious?Wan Gui said: No, father, you really pretended.Just like killing Qi Changfa, there is no flaw at all.
Just like killing Qi Changfa, there is no flaw at all!These words pierced into Qi Fang's heart like a sharp dagger.She had already vaguely thought of this terrible event, but she definitely couldn't believe it.My father-in-law has always been kind to me, and my husband has always been gentle and considerate, how could he kill my father?But this time she saw it with her own eyes, they arranged such a clever trick to kill Wu Kan.That day she heard her father arguing with Wan Zhenshan outside the study, saw Wan Zhenshan being stabbed by her father, and saw her father escape through the window. Obviously, that was also a trap arranged by Wan Zhenshan, exactly the same.At that time, his father had already been killed by him, and he imitated his father's accent, no wonder his father's voice was hoarse at that time, which was very different from usual.If it wasn't a mistake, how could she have guessed it when she lay down under the bed and witnessed the tragedy with her own eyes?
Wan Gui said: "What about that bitch?"How can we let her go?Wan Zhenshan said: "Let's find her slowly and cook it up."This has to be done without anyone noticing it, so as not to ruin the family style of the Wan family and the reputation of my father and son.Wan Gui said: Yes, Dad is really thoughtful.Ouch, Wan Zhenshan said: What?Wan Gui said: The wound on the back of my son's hand hurts again.Wan Zhenshan hummed, although he had many schemes, he was really helpless in this matter.
Qi Fang slowly stretched out her hand and touched Wu Kan's arms, the small porcelain bottle was coldly in his pocket.She took it out and put it in her bag, feeling miserable: Third brother, third brother, you only heard half of what you said, so you wronged me for having an affair with this thief.You didn't want to hear it clearly, so you didn't hear it. The antidote was on him.Your father has killed him, and the antidote can be obtained with little effort, but you don't know it after all.
Lu Kun's gang couldn't catch up with Wu Kan, so they came back one by one, and came to the bed of Wanzhen Mountain to greet them one by one.Wan Zhenshan exposed his chest, and the cloth belt was wrapped around his neck, his chest, his back, and his neck again.
This time he was not injured as badly as last time, after all Wu Kan's martial arts were not as good as his uncle Qi Changfa.The knife didn't stab deeply, so it didn't hurt much.All the disciples were relieved, they all scolded Wu Kan for being ungrateful, and said that they must go to his father to settle the score tomorrow, please take care of the master, and everyone retreated.Wan Gui sat in front of the bed, accompanying his father.
Qi Fang just wanted to find a chance to escape, she was next to Wu Kan's body, she couldn't think of a way to escape because of the indescribable disgust in her heart, and she was afraid that Wan's father and son would find out.
Wan Zhenshan said: Let's dispose of the corpse first, don't show your feet.Wan Gui said: Is it still the same as cooking Qi Changfa?Wan Zhenshan pondered for a while, and said: It's still the old way.
Qi Fang's tears dripped down, she thought: How will they deal with my father?
Wan Gui said: Is it built here?I'm afraid it's not very good for you to sleep here!Wan Zhenshan said: I will move to live with you for the time being, I'm afraid there will be troubles.How can someone easily send the sword manual to us?We father and son have to work together to deal with it.If you make a lot of money in the future, are you afraid that you will have no place to live?
When Qi Fang heard this word, in an instant, like a flash of lightning flashed through her mind, she immediately understood: He built my father's body in the wall, hid the body and wiped out the traces, no wonder my father kept going. After going, there is still no news.No wonder the father-in-law, no, not the father-in-law, no wonder the traitor Wan Zhenshan got up to build the wall in the middle of the night.After he did this bad thing, he felt uneasy, and he got the disease of leaving the soul, and he would get up to build walls in his sleep.It's really strange that this traitor, this traitor, would feel uneasy.No, he didn't feel uneasy, he was very proud, this matter of building the wall, he had to do it again and again unconsciously, just now he was building the wall in his dream, wasn't he smiling all the time?
Wan Gui said: Father, what are the benefits of this sword manual?You said we want to make a fortune, so that we can be the richest in the world?Could it be that this is not the secret of martial arts, but gold and silver treasures?Wan Zhenshan said: Of course it is not the secret of martial arts, it is written in the sword manual, it is the location of a great treasure.Old Mei Niansheng was confused, and wanted to pass this sword manual on to others, hehe, this old man is not dead.Guier, hurry up, get the sword manual.
Wan Gui hesitated for a moment, and took out the book from his pocket.It turned out that as soon as Qi Fang stuffed it into the fan in the west side room, Wan Gui followed and took it out.
Wan Zhenshan glanced at his son, took the book, and flipped through it page by page.The pages of this Tang poetry on both sides and the cover were soaked in blood and still wet, but the middle pages were still dry.
Wan Zhenshan said in a low voice: It's really hard to say whether our father and son can keep this sword manual.We have found out the secrets in the book first, so it doesn't matter if someone snatches them away.You take a pen, write it down and remember it well.The first move of Liancheng swordsmanship comes from Du Fu's Spring Return.He dipped his saliva in his finger, wiped the paper next to Du Fu's spring return poem, and cheered softly: "It's four characters!"Alright, the moss path is Linjiang Bamboo, the fourth character is Jiang, you wrote it down.The second trick is still Du Fu's poems, which come from the Chongjing Zhaoling.He wet his fingers again, and wiped the paper: Well, it's fifty-one!He counted them one by one: 15, 10, 15, 20 Mausoleum Pankongqu, Xiong Weishou Cuiwei, the fifty-first character, that is the word mausoleum.Jiangling, Jiangling is wonderful, and it turns out that it is in Jingzhou.
Wan Gui said: Dad, please speak softly!Wan Zhenshan smiled slightly, and said: Yes!Don't get carried away.Guier, your father's hard work all his life is finally not in vain. After all, we have found this big secret!Suddenly, he covered the book, slapped his thigh, and said in a low voice: I understand why the enemy sent the sword manual to me!
Wan Gui said: "What's the reason?"I have been puzzled.
Wan Zhenshan said: "The enemy got the sword manual, but what's the point if they can't deduce the secrets in it?"In our Liancheng swordsmanship, the name of each move is a Tang poem, people from other sects, even if his martial arts are superb, don't know it.In this world, only Yan Daping and I know what the first move is and what the second move is.Only then did I know that the first character should be found in the poem Chungui, and the second character should be found in the poem Chongjing Zhaoling.
Wan Gui said, "Didn't you already teach us the name of the Liancheng swordsmanship?"Wan Zhenshan said: The sequence is all messed up.Wan Gui said: "Father, you don't even teach me real sword skills.Wan Zhenshan was slightly embarrassed, and said: I have eight disciples, and we are all together day and night, if you just teach you, they will definitely feel it, then it is not good.
Wan Gui hummed, and said: "The enemy's conspiracy must be like this. He knows that the handwriting will be revealed when the paper is wet with water, so he intentionally handed over the sword manual to us, and also deliberately revealed a few words with water, asking us to look it up." Out of the secrets in the sword manual, let us go to find the treasure, he came to a robber meets a thief grandpa.Wan Zhenshan said: That's right!We have to be careful every step of the way, don't end up in a hard work, if you don't get the treasure, you even lose your life.
He wet his fingers again, went to look for the third word, and said: The third move of swordsmanship, from the Shengguo Temple in Chumo, thirty-three, thirty-three characters, near the city below, in the midst of bells and chimes The word for the city, Jiangling City, yes, yes!What is there to be suspicious about?Hey, why is it so itchy here?He stretched out his right hand and scratched the back of his left hand a few times, feeling that his right hand was also itchy, so he stretched out his left hand to scratch a few times, looked at the sword manual again, and said, "The fourth move is twenty-eight, um, one five, one ten." 15. The twenty-eighth character is a Nan character, Jiangling City South, haha, hey!itchy!Looking down at his left hand, he saw three ink marks on the back of his hand. He was slightly surprised: I didn't write today, why is there black ink on the back of my hand?I felt more and more itching on the backs of my hands, and when I looked at my right hand, there were also several criss-crossing ink marks.
Wan Gui said with a cry, "Father, where did you come from?"This seems to be Yan Daping's flower scorpion poison.After Wan Zhenshan reminded him, his hands felt more itchy, and he couldn't help stretching out his hands to scratch it again.
Wan Gui shouted: "Don't scratch it, it's the poison on your nails."
Wan Zhenshan shouted: Ah!That's right.Immediately realized, said: That little whore soaked the sword manual in blood, your blood contains scorpion poison Wu Kan, this little thief, refused to die quickly, but scratched my hands so much bloodstains.Damn it, the scorpion venom was introduced into the wound, but luckily there wasn't much, so it didn't get in the way.Ah, why is it getting more and more painful, ouch, ouch.Couldn't help moaning loudly.
Wan Gui said, "Father, you don't have much poison from this scorpion, I'll go scoop up water to wash you off."Wan Zhenshan said: Not bad!Shouted loudly: peach red, peach red!Bring water!Wan Gui frowned, thinking: Daddy was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, Tao Hong was driven away by him long ago, now he's calling her again.Picking up a copper washbasin, he walked out of the room quickly, scooped up a basin of Tianluoshui from the seven stone jars in the courtyard, brought it in and put it on the table.Wan Zhenshan hurriedly immersed his hands in the clear water, it was cold for a while, and the pain and itchiness were greatly reduced.
Who knew that the scorpion venom in Wan Gui's hand met the antidote, and the black blood that flowed out was also highly poisonous, and the toxicity was only more severe than the original scorpion venom, and the bloodstains on the back of Wan Zhenshan's hand that Wu Kan grabbed deep into his skin , when encountering this poison, it is actually more poisonous than Wan Gui.When his hands were soaked in the clear water for a while, the water in the basin had turned into pale ink.The ink turned from light to dark, and after a while, it became like a pot of thick ink.
Wan's father and son looked at each other pale.Wan Zhenshan lifted his palms up, couldn't help but let out an audible exclamation, and saw that both hands were almost swollen into two balls.Wan Gui said: "Oh, it's not good, I'm afraid it can't be soaked in water!"
Wan Zhenshan was in so much pain that he kicked him in the waist and cursed, "You know you can't soak in water, so why are you trying to scoop it up again?"Isn't this intentional to harm me?Wan Gui squatted down in pain, said: I didn't know at first, how could I come to harm you?
Qi Fang heard the father and son quarreling under the bed, and she didn't know whether it was desolation or the joy of revenge.
Wan Zhenshan could only be heard shouting: What should I do?what to do?Wan Gui said: "I have some painkillers upstairs, although they can't detoxify, they can relieve the pain for a while, do you want to apply some?"Wan Zhenshan said: Good, good, good!Go get it!Wan Gui said: "Whether it is effective or not, I don't know, maybe the more you apply it, the more wrong it will be, and Daddy will kick me again."Wan Zhenshan scolded: "You son of a bitch!Are you still unconvinced now?I gave birth to you, so what's the big deal if I kick you?Go, go and get it.Wan Gui replied: Yes!turn around and go out.
Wan Zhenshan's hands were swollen unbearably, the skin on the back of his hands was black and translucent, without any wrinkles at all, just like an inflated pig urine bubble. Seeing that it swelled a little, it would definitely burst, and he shouted: "I'm with you!" go!Coco can not delay.Putting the sword manual in his arms, he ran like flying, rushed out of the room, and rushed before Wan Gui.
Qi Fang heard that the two were going away, she hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, thinking to herself: But where should I go?All of a sudden, the six gods are at a loss, and they feel that there is no place to live in the vast land: They killed my father, how can we not avenge this revenge?But this bloody enmity, how to repay the law?When it comes to martial arts and wit, my father-in-law and third brother are really far behind, not to mention they believe that Wu Kan and I have an affair, and they will kill me as soon as they meet, how can I resist?Right now, all he has to do is to look for Senior Brother Di and make further calculations.But I don't know where he is?What about water spinach?How could I leave her?As soon as he thought of his daughter, he immediately ran to the back building, determined to take his daughter and escape first, and then think of revenge.
In her heart, she was still not quite sure that Wan's father and son really killed her father.There is absolutely no doubt that Wan Zhenshan is a ruthless person, but what about Wan Gui?對於丈夫的柔情蜜意，終不能這麼快便決絕的拋卻。
她奔到樓下，聽得萬震山嘶啞的聲音在大叫大嚷，心想：這麼叫法，要將空心菜吵醒了！想到女兒會大受驚嚇，便顧不得自身危險，輕輕走上樓去，小心不讓樓梯發出聲息。空心菜睡覺的小房便在她夫妻的臥室之後，只以一層薄板隔開。戚芳溜進小房，臥房中燈光映了進來，只見女兒睜大了眼，早已醒轉，臉上滿是恐怖之色，一見到母親，小嘴一扁，便要哭叫出來。戚芳急忙搶上前去，將她摟在懷裏，做個手勢，叫她千萬不可出聲。空心菜既聰明，又聽話，當下一聲不響，娘兒倆摟抱著躺在床上。
只聽得萬震山大叫：不成，不成，這止痛藥越止越痛，須得尋到那草頭郎中，用他的解藥來治。萬圭道：是啊，只有那解藥才治得這毒，等天一亮，叫魯大哥他們大夥兒一齊出馬，去尋那郎中。我手上的傷口也痛得很。萬震山怒道：怎等得到天亮？啊喲，哎唷！受不了啦，受不了啦！突然間腳下一軟，倒在地下，痛得打滾，叫道：快，快！拿劍來，將我這雙手砍了！快砍了我的手！只聽得房中傢具砰嘭翻倒，瓶碗乒乓打碎之聲，響成了一片。
空心菜嚇得緊緊的摟了媽媽，臉色大變。戚芳伸手輕輕撫慰，卻不敢作聲。
萬圭也是十分驚慌，說道：爹，你你忍耐一會兒，你的手怎能砍了？咱們快找解藥是正經。萬震山痛得再難抵受，喝道：你為甚麼不砍去我雙手，除我痛楚？啊，知道了，你你想我快快死了，好獨吞劍譜，想獨自個去尋寶藏萬圭怒道：爹，你痛得神智不清了，快上床睡一忽兒。我又不知劍招的次序，得了劍譜又有甚麼用？
萬震山不斷在地下打滾，道：你說我神智不清，你自己就存心不良。我我痛得要死了要死了一拍兩散，大家都得不到。
突然之間，他紅了雙眼，從懷中掏出劍譜，伸手一頁頁的撕碎。他十根手指腫得便如一根根紅蘿蔔般，動作不靈，但還是撕碎了好幾頁。
萬圭大驚，叫道：別撕，別撕！伸手便去搶奪。他抓住了半本劍譜，萬震山卻抓住了另一半，牢不放手。那劍譜在血水中浸過，迄未乾透，霉霉爛爛的，兩人這麼一拉扯，登時撕成兩半。萬圭呆了一呆，萬震山又去撕扯。萬圭不甘心讓這已經到手的寶藏化作過眼雲煙，忙伸手推開父親。兩人在地下你搶我奪，翻翻滾滾，將劍譜撕得更加碎了。
突然間聽得萬圭長聲驚呼：哎唷糟了我傷口中又進了毒，啊喲，好痛！兩人這麼你拉我扯，劍譜上的毒質沾進了萬圭手背上原來的傷口。片刻之間，萬圭手背又高高腫起，劇痛椎心穿骨。他久病之後，耐力甚弱，毒素一入傷口，隨血上行，發作奇快。父子二人在樓板上滾來滾去，慘呼號叫。
戚芳聽了一會，究竟夫妻情重，再也不能置之不理，從床上站起身來，走到門口，冷冷的道：怎麼啦？兩個在幹甚麼？
萬氏父子見到戚芳，劇痛之際，再也沒心情憤怒。萬圭叫道：芳妹，快去找那草頭郎中，請他快配解藥，哎唷，哎唷實在實在痛得熬不住了，求求你
戚芳見他痛得滿頭大汗的模樣，心更加軟了，從懷中取出瓷瓶，道：這是解藥！
萬震山和萬圭一見瓷瓶，同時掙扎著爬起，齊道：好極，好極！快，快給我敷上。
戚芳見萬震山目光兇狠貪婪，有如野獸，心想若不乘此要挾，如何能查明真相，便道：慢著，不許動！誰要動上一動，我便將解藥拋出窗外，投入水缸，大家都死！說著推開窗子，拔開瓷瓶的瓶塞，將解藥懸在窗外，只須手一鬆，瓷瓶落水，再也無用了。
萬氏父子當即不動，我瞧瞧你，你瞧瞧我。萬震山忽道：好媳婦，你將解藥給我，我讓你跟了吳坎，遠走高飛，決不阻攔，另外再送你一千兩銀子，讓你二人過長遠日子哎唷，好痛既然你心有他意，圭兒也留你不住你你放心去好了。
戚芳心道：這人當真卑鄙無恥，吳坎明明是你親手扼死了，卻還來騙人。
萬圭也道：芳妹，我雖然捨不得你，但沒有法子，我答應不跟吳坎為難就是。
戚芳冷笑一聲，道：你二人胡塗透頂，還在瞎轉這卑鄙齷齪的念頭。我只問一句話，你們老老實實的回答，我立刻給解藥。
萬震山道：是，是，快問，哎唷，啊喲！
一陣風從窗中颳了進來，吹得滿地紙屑如蝴蝶般飛舞。紙屑是劍譜撕成的，一片片飛出了窗外。忽然，一對彩色蝴蝶飛了起來，正是她當年剪的紙蝶，夾在詩集中的。兩隻紙蝶在房中蹁躚起舞，跟著從窗中飛了出去。戚芳心中一酸，想起了當日在石洞中與狄雲歡樂相聚的情景。那時候的世界可有多麼好，天地間沒半點傷心的事。
萬圭連連催促：快問！What's up?我無有不說。
戚芳一凜，問道：我爹爹呢？你們把他怎麼了？
萬震山強笑道：你問你爹爹的事，我我也不知道啊。哎唷我很掛念這位老師弟哎唷！師兄弟又成了親家，哎唷，好得很啊。
戚芳沉著臉道：這當兒再說些假話，更有甚麼用處？我爹爹給你害死了，是不是？害死他的法兒，就跟你們害死吳坎一樣，是不是？你已將他屍身砌入了牆壁，是不是？
戚芳連問三聲是不是，萬氏父子這一驚當真非同小可，沒料想她不但知道自己父親被害，連吳坎被殺一事也知道了。萬圭顫聲道：你你怎知道？
他說你怎知道，便是直承其事。戚芳心中一酸，怒火上衝，便想鬆手將解藥投入窗下的一排七石缸中。萬圭眼見情勢危急，作勢便想撲將上去。萬震山喝道：圭兒，不可莽撞！他知道當時情景之下，強搶只有誤事。
忽然間，塌塌塌幾聲，空心菜赤著腳，從小房中奔了出來，叫道：媽，媽！要撲入戚芳的懷裏。
萬圭靈機一動，伸出左臂，半路上便將女兒抱了過來，右手摸出匕首，對準女兒的天靈蓋，喝道：好，咱們一家老小，今日便一起死了，我先殺了空心菜再說！
戚芳大驚，忙叫道：快放開她，關女兒甚麼事？
萬圭厲聲道：反正大家活不成，我先殺了空心菜！匕首在空中虛刺幾下，便向空心菜頭頂刺落。
Qi Fang said: No, no!撲過來搶救，伸手抓住萬圭的手腕。
萬震山雖在奇痛徹骨之際，究竟閱歷豐富，見戚芳給引了過來，當即手肘一探，重重撞在她腰間，夾手奪過她手中瓷瓶，忙不迭的倒藥敷上手背。萬圭也伸手去取解藥。戚芳搶過女兒，緊緊摟在懷中。
萬震山飛起一腳，將她踢倒，隨手解下腰帶，將她雙手反縛背後，又將她兩隻腳都綁住了。空心菜大叫：媽，媽，媽媽！萬震山反手一記巴掌，打得她暈了過去，但這一掌碰到自己腫起的手背，又是大叫一聲：啊喲！
那解藥實具靈效，二人敷藥之後，片刻間傷口中便流出血水，疼痛漸減，變為麻癢，再過得一陣，麻癢也漸漸減弱。父子二人大是放心，知道性命是拾回來了，見到房中的紙片兀自往窗外飛去，兩人同聲大叫：糟糕！撲過去攔阻飛舞的紙片。
但地下的紙屑已亂成一團，一大半掉入了窗外的缸中，有的正在盤旋跌落。萬震山叫道：快，快，快搶！二人飛步奔下樓去，拚命去抓四散飛舞的碎紙。但數百片碎紙有的飄飄盪盪吹出了圍牆，有的隨風高飛上天。二人東奔西突，狀若顛狂，卻那裏又能收集碎片、使得撕碎了的劍譜重歸原狀？
萬震山手上疼痛雖消，心中的傷痛卻難以形容，氣無可消，大聲斥罵兒子：都是你這小賊，跟我來爭奪甚麼？若不是你跟我拉扯，劍譜怎會扯爛？萬圭嘆了口氣，不再去追搶碎紙，說道：孩兒若不攔阻，爹爹早將這劍譜扯得更加爛了。萬震山道：放屁！他心中知道兒子所說是實，但還是不住的呼喝：放屁，放屁，放屁！
萬圭道：好在咱們知道那地方是在江陵城南，再到那本殘破的劍譜中去查查，只要能再找到些線索，未始不能找到那地方。萬震山精神一振，道：不錯，那地方是在江陵城南
忽聽得牆外有個聲音輕輕的道：江陵城南！
萬氏父子大吃一驚，一齊躍上牆頭，向外望去，只見兩個人的背影正向小巷中隱沒。
萬圭喝道：卜垣、沈城，站著別動！
但那兩人既不回頭，也不站住，飛快的走了。萬震山待要下牆追去，萬圭道：爹，樓上還有還有那那淫婦。萬震山轉念一想，點了點頭。
父子倆回到樓頭，只見小女孩空心菜已醒了過來，抱住了媽媽直哭。戚芳手足被綁，卻在不住安撫女兒。空心菜見到祖父與父親回來，更哇的一聲，驚哭起來。
萬震山上前一腳，踢在她屁股之上，罵道：再哭，一刀剖開你小鬼的肚子。空心菜嚇得臉都白了，那裏還敢出聲。
萬圭低聲道：爹，這淫婦甚麼都知道了，可不能留下活口。怎生處置她才是？萬震山微一沉吟，道：剛才牆外二人，你看清楚是卜垣、沈城麼？萬圭道：正是那二人，錯不了！只怕秘密已經洩漏，他們知道是在江陵城南。萬震山道：事不宜遲，須得急速下手。這淫婦嘛，跟她父親一般處置便了。
戚芳早將生死置之度外，只是放不下女兒，說道：三三哥，我和你夫妻一場，你殺我不打緊，我死之後，你須好好看待空心菜！
萬圭道：好！萬震山道：斬草除根，豈能留下禍胎？這小女孩精靈古怪，今日之事都給她瞧在眼裏了，怎保得定她不說出來？萬圭緩緩點了點頭。他很疼愛這個女兒，但父親的話也很對，若是留下禍胎，將來定有極大後患。
戚芳淚水滾下雙頰，哽咽道：你你們好狠心，連連這個小小女孩也放不過嗎？萬震山道：塞住她的嘴巴，別讓她叫嚷起來，吵得通天下都知道了！
戚芳想起女兒難保一命，突然提起嗓子，大叫：救命，救命！
靜夜之中，這兩聲救命劃破了長空，遠遠傳了出去。
萬圭撲到她身上，伸手按住她嘴。戚芳仍是大叫：救命，救命！只是嘴巴被按住了，聲音鬱悶。萬震山在兒子長袍上撕下一塊衣襟，遞給了他，萬圭當即將衣襟塞在戚芳口中。萬震山道：將她埋在戚長發的墓中，父女同穴，最妙不過。
萬圭點了點頭，抱起妻子，大踏步下樓，萬震山抱了空心菜。四個人進了書房。
戚芳瞧著書房西壁的那堵白牆，心想：我爹爹是給老賊葬在這堵牆之中？
萬震山道：我來拆牆，你去將吳坎拖來！小心，別給人見到。萬圭應道：是！奔向萬震山的臥室。
萬震山拉開書桌的抽屜，其中鑿子、鎚子、鏟刀等工具一應俱全，他取出來放在牆邊，瞧著那堵白牆，雙手搓了幾下，回頭向戚芳望了一眼，臉上現出十分得意的神情。戚芳不禁打了個寒噤。萬震山拿起鐵鎚和鑿子，看好了牆上的部位，在兩塊磚頭之間的縫中，將鑿子鑿了進去。鑿裂了一塊磚頭，伸手搖了幾搖，便挖了出來，手法甚是熟練。他挖出一塊磚頭後，拿到鼻子邊嗅了幾嗅。
戚芳見了他挖牆的手法，想起適才見到他離魂病發作時挖牆、推屍、砌牆的情狀，心中已是發毛，待見到他去嗅夾牆中父親屍體的氣息，又是害怕，又是傷心，又是憤怒，破口大罵：你這奸賊，無恥的老賊！只是嘴巴被塞住了，只能發出些嗚嗚之聲。
萬震山伸手又去挖第二塊磚頭，突然腳步聲急，萬圭踉蹌搶進，說道：爹，爹！不好了，吳坎吳坎身子在桌上一撞，嗆啷一聲響，油燈掉在地下，室中登時黑了，只有淡淡的月光從窗紙中透進來。
萬震山道：吳坎怎樣？大驚小怪的，這般沉不住氣。萬圭道：吳坎不見啦！萬震山罵道：放屁！怎會不見？但聲音顫抖，顯然心中懼意甚盛。拍的一聲，手中拿著的一塊磚頭掉下地來。
萬圭道：我伸手到爹爹的床底下去拉屍體，摸他不到，點了燈火到床底去照，屍體已影蹤全無。爹爹房中帳子背後、箱子後面，到處都找過了，甚麼也沒見到。萬震山沉吟道：這這可奇了。我猜想是卜垣、沈城他們攪的鬼。萬圭道：爹，莫非莫非吳坎這廝沒死透，閉氣半晌，又活了過來？萬震山怒道：放屁，你老子外號叫作五雲手，手上功夫何等厲害，難道扼一個徒弟也扼不死？萬圭道：是，按理說，吳坎那廝定是給爹爹扼死了，卻不知如何，屍體竟然會不見了？難道難道萬震山道：難道甚麼？萬圭道：難道真有殭屍？他冤魂不息
萬震山喝道：別胡思亂想了！咱們快處置了這淫婦和這小鬼，再去找吳坎的屍首。事情只怕已鬧穿了，咱父子在荊州城已難以安身。說著加緊將牆上磚頭一塊塊挖出來，他睡夢中挖磚砌牆，做之已慣，手法熟練，此時雖無燈燭，動作仍是十分迅捷。
萬圭應了聲：是！拔刀在手，走到戚芳身前，顫聲道：芳妹，是你對不起我。你死之後，可別怨我！
戚芳無法說話，側過身子，用肩頭狠狠撞了他一下。萬氏父子要殺自己，那也罷了，竟連空心菜也不肯饒，狼心狗肺，實是世所罕有。萬圭給她一撞，身子一幌，退後兩步，舉起刀來，罵道：賊淫婦，死到臨頭，還要放潑！
便在此時，只聽得格、格、格幾下聲響，書房門緩緩推開。萬圭吃了一驚，轉過頭去，慘淡的月光之下，但見房門推開，卻不見有人進來。
萬震山喝問：是誰？
房門又格格、格格的響了兩下，仍是無人回答。
微光之下，突見門中跳進一個人來，那人直挺挺的移近，一跳一跳的，膝蓋不彎。萬震山和萬圭都是大駭，不自禁的退後了兩步。
只見那人雙眼大睜，舌頭伸出，口鼻流血，正是給萬震山扼死了的吳坎。萬震山和萬圭同聲驚呼：啊！戚芳見到這般可怖的情狀，也嚇得一顆心似乎停了跳動。
吳坎一動也不動，雙臂緩緩抬起，伸向萬震山。
萬震山喝道：吳坎小賊，老子怕怕你這殭屍？抽出刀來，向吳坎頭上劈落。突覺手腕一麻，單刀拿捏不定，嗆啷一聲，掉在地下，跟著腰間一麻，全身便動彈不得。
萬圭早嚇得呆了，見吳坎的殭屍攪倒了父親後，又直著雙臂，緩緩向自己抓來，只想大叫：吳師弟，吳師弟！饒了我！可是聲音在喉頭哽住了，無論如何叫不出來，倒退了兩步，腿下一軟，摔倒在地。只見吳坎的右手垂了下來，摸到他臉上，手指冷冰冰地，沒半分暖氣。萬圭嚇得魂飛魄散，差一點就暈了過去。
突然之間，吳坎身子向前一撲，伏在萬圭的身上，一動也不動了。
吳坎身後，卻站著一人。
那人走到戚芳身邊，取出她口中塞著的破布，雙手幾下拉扯，便扯斷了綁住她手足的繩子，回過身去，在萬圭腰裏重重踢了一腳，內力到處，萬圭登時全身酸軟。
戚芳先將空心菜抱起，顫聲道：恩公是誰，救了我的性命？
那人雙手伸出，月光之下，只見他每隻手掌中都有一隻花紙剪成的蝴蝶，正是那本唐詩中夾著的紙蝶，適才飄下樓去時給他拿到了的。戚芳一瞥眼間，見到他右手五根手指全無，失聲叫道：狄師哥！
那人正是狄雲，斗然間聽到這一聲狄師哥！胸中一熱，忍不住眼淚便要奪眶而出，叫道：芳妹！天可憐見，你你我今日又再相見！
戚芳此時正如一葉小舟在茫茫大海中飄行，狂風暴雨交加之下，突然駛進了一個風平浪靜的港口，撲在狄雲懷中，說道：師哥，這這這不是做夢麼？
狄雲道：不是做夢，芳妹，這兩晚我都在這裏瞧著。這父子兩人幹的那些傷天害理事情，我全都瞧見了。吳坎的屍體，哼，我是拿來嚇他們一嚇！
戚芳叫道：爹爹，爹爹！放下空心菜，奔到牆洞之前，伸手往洞中摸去，卻摸了個空，啊的一聲叫，顫聲道：沒沒有！
狄雲打亮了火摺，到牆洞中去照時，只見夾牆中盡是些泥灰磚石，卻哪裏有戚長發的屍體？說道：這裏沒有，甚麼也沒有。
戚芳在萬震山床頭拿過一個燭台，在狄雲的火摺上點燃了蠟燭，舉起燭台，在夾牆中細細察看，哪裏有父親的屍體，誰的屍體也沒有。她又驚又喜，心中存了一線希望：或許，爹爹並沒給他們害死。轉身向萬圭道：三三哥，我爹爹到底怎樣了？
萬圭和萬震山卻不知她在夾牆中並未發見屍體，只道她見了父親的遺體，便要動手復仇。萬震山昂然道：大丈夫一身做事一身當，戚長發是我殺的，你衝著我報仇便是。
戚芳道：爹爹真的給你害死了？那麼他的屍首呢？萬震山道：甚麼？夾牆裏的死人難道不是他？戚芳道：這裏有甚麼死人？萬震山和萬圭面面相覷，臉色慘白，兀自不信。狄雲拉起萬震山，讓他探頭到牆洞中一看。
萬震山顫聲道：世上真真有會行走的殭屍？我明明明明忽地改口：好媳婦，我我是騙騙你的。咱師兄弟雖然不和，卻也不致於痛下毒手。你怎麼信以為真了？Ha ha ha ha.他平時說謊的本領著實不錯，但這時驚惶之下，張口結舌，說出來的謊話牽強之至，誰也不會相信。要是他倔強挺撞，戚芳和狄雲還存著萬一的希望，他這麼一說，兩人只有更加確信是他害死了戚長發。
狄雲伸掌搭在他肩頭，說道：萬師伯，你害得我好苦，這一切也不必計較了。我只問你：到底我師父是不是給你害死了？說著運起神照經內功。霎時之間，萬震山全身猶如墮入了一隻大火爐中，似乎連血液也燒得要沸騰起來，片刻也難以抵受，想到戚長發的屍身竟會不知去向，心中驚疑惶恐，亂成一團，已全無抗拒之意，說道：不不錯。戚長發是我殺的。狄雲又問：我師父的屍首呢？你到底放在甚麼地方？
萬震山道：我確是將他砌入了這夾牆之中，是屍變屍變麼？
狄雲狠狠的凝視著他，想起這幾年來，自己經歷了無窮無盡的苦難，全是由他父子的毒害，此刻萬震山又親口承認了殺死他師父，如何不教他怒火攻心？若不是已和戚芳相會，心中畢竟歡喜多過哀傷，立時便要一掌送了他的性命。他一咬牙，提起萬震山來，砰的一聲，從那牆孔中擲了進去。萬震山身子大，牆孔小，撞落了幾塊磚頭，這才跌入。
戚芳啊的一聲，輕聲低呼。狄雲提起萬圭的身子，又擲入了牆洞，說道：一報還一報，他父子這般毒害師父，咱們就這般對付他二人。拾起地下的磚塊，便砌了起來，片刻之間，便將牆洞砌好了。
戚芳顫聲道：師師哥，你終於替爹爹報了這場大仇。若不是你來師哥，這人的屍體，怎麼辦？說著，指了指吳坎的屍體。
狄雲道：咱們走罷！這裏的事，再也不用理會了。戚芳道：他二人砌在牆中，還沒有死，若是有人來救狄雲道：旁人怎會知道牆內有人？咱們把吳坎的屍體移出去，旁人更加不會到這裏來查察。這兩人在牆裏活不多久的。當下提起吳坎的屍身，走出書房，向戚芳招手道：走罷！
兩人躍出了萬家的圍牆，狄雲拋下吳坎的屍身，說道：師妹，咱們到哪裏去好？
戚芳道：你想爹爹真的是給他們害死了麼？狄雲道：但願師父仍
