red plum golden sword It has been seven days since the auspicious day of great joy, but the whole Zhuangzi is still filled with that indescribable joy. Up and down, there is no one who is not happy. The bustle of the seven days certainly made Zhuang Ding dizzy No one can tell exactly how many congratulatory guests came from all over the world, but Uncle Peng, the manager, did the math after the fact, and he slaughtered thirty or forty cattle that were just fat lambs. I went to more than 600 altars; in the whole Yueyang city, there was no wine to drink for three days, because all the good wine was picked up by Zhuang Ding of Jinjianzhuang, sixteen miles east of the city.

Yueyang Golden Sword Village is very famous in the martial arts. A few years ago, before all schools and factions formed alliances, the owner's Golden Sword Order seemed to be able to command the world. Three points, that is naturally the reason why the owner of the villa, Jin Jian Bai Zhendong, is an outstanding man and martial arts. Later, various sects and sects formed an alliance, and there was a clear distinction between good and evil, and Jin Jian Bai Zhendong became the first leader of the alliance. According to the agreement of the various factions, the leader of the alliance is elected every seven years, but a strange thing happened. In the summer of the fifth year, on a stormy night, two masked men suddenly visited Jinjianzhuang.

When the two masked men arrived, it was just when the rain was pouring down. They were wearing fish-skin swimsuits and huge hats on their heads. They rode two black horses and went straight to the front of the village. owner. Jin Jian Bai Zhendong was originally an extraordinary figure, and after he became the leader of the thirty-nine sects and seventy-six sects in the martial arts, his status was even higher, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see him; The man was dressed strangely and covered his face, so as soon as he arrived at the village, he was stopped by people. Zhuang Ding of Jinjian Village stopped the people coming, and at the same time, he flew to report to Uncle Peng, the manager of the village; the two masked men didn't get angry or dismounted, but just waited in the heavy rain.

Uncle Peng is the manager of Jinjianzhuang. No one knows his origin, but he was brought by the owner from outside the customs many years ago. The owner respects him very much, and he also respects the owner. No matter how big or small, Uncle Peng has to take care of it. At this time, Uncle Peng braved the rain and came to Zhuangqian. He was short and fat, and looked very funny and amiable.He came before the two masked men, took a look at them, and said, "Are you two?" The two men said without waiting for him to finish speaking: "Let's see President Bai." Uncle Peng said with a smile: "It's raining heavily outside, please talk after you enter the village."

But the two shook their heads and said: No, we are waiting, please tell the leader, we want to see him! Uncle Peng still had a smile on his face, and said: Then, please tell me your surnames so that I can inform you. The two masked men refused to say their names, one of them leaned over, reached into the bag next to the saddle, took out a box, threw it at Uncle Peng, and said, "Catch it." As soon as Uncle Peng reached out and grabbed the box, the man said again: "Give this box to Chief Bai, and he will naturally come to see us." Uncle Peng didn't say much at the time, took the box and left.

Zhuang Ding, who was at the gate of Zhuangzi, was still amused after Uncle Peng left, thinking, if the owner of the villa would come out in the rain to meet these two people, it would be too funny. However, just as they were thinking this way, they saw two people dashing out of Zhuang Zhong, one in front of the other! The one in front is none other than the golden sword Bai Zhendong! At this time, the rain was extremely heavy, and Bai Zhendong's momentum rushing forward reached its peak again. The raindrops fell on him and splashed together again, as if there was a hood made of rainwater covering his body. It's a spectacle!

And it was Uncle Peng who followed Master Bai. At that time, Uncle Peng had been in Jinjian Village for more than ten years, but the people in the village had never seen him show his kung fu. Only this time, he followed Master Bai, and he was very fast. He is not under Master Bai! But it may be that Master Bai took the first step, so there is always a distance of two or three feet between him and Master Bai. As soon as he saw Master Bai rushing out, one of the masked horses immediately flew to the other horse, and it became two people riding together, leaving one horse free. Master Bai flew forward, and only said one word: "Let's go!"

Following this word of walking, his body swept up and landed on top of the black horse. Immediately afterwards, the two steeds each spread their hooves and galloped out of the village. At that time, Uncle Peng just happened to catch up to the gate of the village, only to hear him shout: Where is the owner going? By the time he uttered these four words, the two black horses were already six or seven feet away, and the master Bai said: "Don't wait for me!" No one knows what this means without waiting for me. In short, the owner of the Golden Sword Villa, the leader of the thirty-nine schools of martial arts, the leader of the alliance of the seventy-six factions, the master of the world, the master of the martial arts, Bai Zhendong of the golden sword , Once I went in the rain, I never came back.

That year, Bai Yulong, the owner of the young villa, was seventeen years old. Bai Yulong is the only son of Jin Jian Bai Zhendong, but when that strange incident happened, he was not in Jin Jianzhuang. When he was ten years old, he was sent by Bai Zhendong to Wei Feizi, a hero in western Hunan, to hold the sky with one hand. Learn Wei Feizi's two unique skills of Qingtian Sword and Yizhu Kungfu. After Bai Zhendong left, he didn't come back that day, didn't come back the next day, and still didn't come back on the third day. The people in the village were in a mess. They waited for a full twenty days. There was no news of Master Bai, as if Master Bai disappeared after he left.

On the 21st day, Uncle Peng sent someone to Xiangxi to call back Shao Zhuang Zhu, who returned to Jin Jian Zhuang and spread the news of Bai Meng Zhu's disappearance. This is a major event that caused a sensation in the entire martial arts world. In the martial arts world, there are many strange things, but a person of status like Jin Jian Bai Zhendong should disappear in such a mysterious incident. Incredible. In the next six months, masters from all sects and sects gathered in Jinjian Village almost automatically, sending scouts out everywhere, and at the same time notifying all martial arts people in the world, no matter whether they were righteous or evil. Underworld and white way, to investigate the whereabouts of the golden sword Bai Zhendong.

However, no matter how hard people tried, Bai Zhendong was always like a stone sinking into the sea, with no news at all.In the second year, at the Golden Sword Villa, the Taoist priest Lishan sent by Kongtong was appointed as the acting leader. The number of people who kept coming and going in Jinjianzhuang did not gradually decrease until the third year.Since Jin Jian Bai Zhendong has been missing for three years, most people think he is dead. However, the position of leader is held every seven years, and the Daoist of Kongtongli Mountain has been acting leader until seven years have passed. In the past three years, Uncle Peng and the Zhuang Ding who guarded the gate of the villa in the heavy rain that day have been interrogated countless times about what happened at that time. Those Zhuang Ding couldn't tell the reason at all. Because it was raining heavily at that time, although two of them came out to stop the two masked men, the two masked men never got off their horses from the beginning to the end. What's more, the masked people are wearing fish-skin water jackets. It is not known what their original clothes were, and it is impossible to know what kind of people they are. But Uncle Peng can tell a little more clues.Because those two masked men once gave him an item and asked him to hand it over to Jin Jian Bai Zhendong. As for Bai Zhendong, when he saw that thing, he immediately left and never returned. So, everyone who came to Jinjianzhuang asked Mr. Peng, what is that thing? Mr. Peng himself couldn't remember how many times he said those few words: It was a bamboo box inlaid with bamboo roots. It seemed to be very old and already glowing red. On the box, there seemed to be a word, But he never paid attention to it, he just felt that the box was very heavy in his hand. As for Jin Jian Bai Zhendong's reaction after seeing the box, Director Peng has told people countless times. At that time, Jin Jian Bai Zhendong was standing under the eaves watching the rain with his hands behind his back. When it touched his hand, he immediately shook his whole body and said, "Where is the man?" Manager Peng only replied: It's just outside the village. As soon as Bai Zhendong heard this, he immediately jumped up and flied outwards. Manager Peng chased after him. This was witnessed by many Zhuang Ding. After getting on the horse, Bai Zhendong shouted again: Don't wait for me! During the whole incident, Jin Jian Bai Zhendong only said two short words: where is the person and don't wait for me, and then he never came back and disappeared mysteriously. This year, Bai Yulong, the owner of the Shaozhuang, is twenty-seven years old. The disappearance of Jin Jian Bai Zhendong has long been forgotten by people, and it is only rumored by chance as a very mysterious thing.And Taoist Master Li Shan, after his term as acting leader expired, publicly elected Wu Chenyun, the leader of the Huashan faction, as the leader of the alliance. People in the martial arts seldom gather at Jinjianzhuang. But this time, Jinjian Village became very lively again. It was because of the marriage between Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng. The bride Wei Jinfeng was Bai Yulong's junior sister, the daughter of the hero Wei Feizi. And the two of them have been in love for a long time, but Bai Zhendong mysteriously disappeared. In the past six or seven years, the two of them have traveled all over the world hand in hand, looking for Bai Zhendong, so they delayed their marriage until Bai Zhendong disappeared. In 2010, no one thought that there was no hope of finding him again, so he returned to Jinjianzhuang to arrange the marriage. This new couple is not only their predecessors, but they are also people who are famous in the martial arts world, and they themselves have done countless chivalrous deeds to help the weak and the strong during the past ten years, and their reputation has long been established. Loud noise, who doesn't know the word "Dragon and Phoenix Shuangxia"? Their marriage can be said to be the first major event after Bai Zhendong's disappearance. Everyone in the martial arts will automatically gather at Jinjian Village. No one knows how many guests came to congratulate him. When it comes to fine wine, it is by no means a surprise. On the second day after the auspicious day, the guests who came to congratulate him left one after another. On the seventh day, almost all the guests had left, except for a few old friends who had made life-and-death acquaintances with the hero Wei Feizi. They were at the Golden Sword Manor together, but they were very knowledgeable and never disturbed the newlyweds, they just cared about drinking and discussing martial arts by themselves. On the morning of the seventh day, amidst the joyous atmosphere of Jinjianzhuang, the owner of the young village, Bai Yulong, and his new wife, Wei Jinfeng, came to the lobby hand in hand. A corner of the lobby was filled with presents from congratulatory guests, and Uncle Peng was directing a dozen Zhuang Ding, who were carrying those congratulatory gifts. When everyone saw the young owner and his wife appearing, they all stopped and shouted: Owner, heroine Wei! Manager Peng chuckled and said: You don't know how to call people anymore, are you still called Wei Xia now? A dozen or so Zhuang Ding also laughed, and shouted: "Mrs. Shao Zhuangzhu." Director Peng said again: "Young Villa Master has become a family, so you shouldn't be called Shao Zhuang Zhu anymore. In the future, you should change your name to Zhuang Zhu." The dozen or so Zhuang Ding made fun of it, and said in unison: Zhuangzhu, Zhuangzhu's wife! Bai Yulong sighed secretly in his heart, it was because he remembered his father who had been missing for ten years and his life and death were unknown after hearing the title of owner. But Wei Jinfeng felt ashamed of the new title she got. She was slender, almost as tall as Bai Yulong, and had a beautiful appearance. At this moment, she blushed slightly and became more charming. Bai Yulong's heart was naturally beaming He also laughed and said, "Uncle Peng, you have really worked hard these few days. Manager Peng smiled and said: What is this?me and your father He had just talked up to this point, and he remembered that it seemed inappropriate to mention the old owner on such an occasion, so he immediately stopped talking, and changed his words: "Owner, the congratulatory gifts from all heroes, I have already I have seen it, and there are dozens of particularly valuable ones, which have also been moved aside for the owner to have a look at. Bai Yulong waved his hand and said: Just put it away, it's nothing more than gold, silver and jewelry, what's so interesting about it. Mr. Peng said: Yes, but there is a box of things, which is very strange. In the gift book, I can't find out who gave it. Does the owner want to see this box? Bai Yulong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "It's probably because there are too many gift givers, and there are some who missed it temporarily." As he said, he pulled Wei Jinfeng and walked out again, but Manager Peng said: "Master, I think there is something weird about this box. I am about to open the box. Since the owner is here, Why not take a look together? Wei Jinfeng said: What's the difference? Mr. Peng: I can't say who is coming, bring that iron box over here! Immediately someone agreed, and walked to a corner of the hall. Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng looked up together, and saw an iron box about two feet high, six feet long, and two feet wide standing on the corner of the hall. The box was polished to a bright finish with no trace of rust. With such a size and shape, Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng couldn't help frowning secretly when they saw it, because it looked too much like an iron coffin.Perhaps the weirdness Mr. Peng said was referring to this. And after they saw it, they really felt a very strange feeling. No matter what precious things were put in the box, it was always a bit indescribably weird to pack it in such a box. At this time, there were twelve Zhuang Ding, surrounded by the iron box, and the rope made of beef tendon was wrapped around the iron box, and then the iron box was lifted up.These twelve Zhuang Ding are all strong and strong men. Since they are Zhuang Ding of Jinjianzhuang, they all have practiced martial arts. However, when they lifted the iron box, they still had blue veins on their foreheads. Stagger! It can be seen from this that this iron box is really extremely heavy! When Bai Yulong saw this situation, he became even more suspicious, and hurriedly said: "Put it down!" As soon as the twelve Zhuang Ding let go, the iron box fell down with a bang, and they all let out a sigh of relief. Bai Yulong asked: "Uncle Peng, this iron box is so heavy that it took at least four or five people to lift it. Could it be that someone brought it here and no one noticed it?" Uncle Peng shook his head and said: "No, it wasn't until the day before yesterday that I started to clean up the presents and found it in the gift pile. Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng stepped over, and saw a very strong lock on the iron box. Bai Yulong stretched out his hand, grabbed the lock, and said: "Get out of the way, maybe there are some enemies." It might be possible to plot against me. After telling Bai Yulong like this, everyone became nervous and retreated together, only Wei Jinfeng and Mr. Peng were still beside the box, and Wei Jinfeng had already taken a long sword from Zhuang Ding.Bai Yulong twisted his hand hard, and with a click, the lock was broken. Wei Jinfeng hurriedly said: "Stay away!" Bai Yulong took a step back, Wei Jinfeng raised the lid of the box with the tip of his sword, and lifted it up. The moment the lid of the box was lifted, the atmosphere in the lobby was extremely tense, everyone held their breath and remained silent. However, after the lid of the box was lifted, everyone looked in, but they couldn't help being stunned. Among the boxes is another box, which is also made of iron, but smaller. Director Peng hurriedly said: The owner, hero Wei and several masters are drinking in the backyard, can you ask them to come together? At this time, Bai Yulong also felt great doubts in his heart, but he shook his head and said: "Don't disturb the old man, Uncle Peng, I will bring this box out with you!"Mr. Peng: I'm afraid I don't have that much strength. Bai Yulong said: Uncle Peng, why be so polite, you are a real person and don't show your face! Manager Peng chuckled and said: Since the owner of the villa said so, I must show my hand! The two of them stretched out their hands together, grabbed the iron ring next to the box, each let out a loud shout, and lifted the iron box out of the big iron box abruptly! As soon as the two of them lifted the iron box, Wei Jinfeng took a step forward, raised the sword in his hand, and slashed at the lock of the box with his sword! The long sword in her hand was originally an ordinary green steel sword, but Wei Jinfeng practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her inner strength is extremely deep. Her inner strength is everywhere, and metal and stone can be separated. It had already been cut off, Bai Yulong kicked the lid of the box away. As soon as the lid was opened, everyone exclaimed again! What is in the box, still can't see, what I see is still a box! Wei Jinfeng's temper is very strong, when he saw such a situation, he was furious, snorted, and said: "This man is really bold, to play such a joke with us!" Bai Yulong said in a deep voice: It seems that it is not a joke, Uncle Peng, come again! As soon as the two of them stretched out their hands, they lifted up the third box, and Wei Jinfeng still cut off the lock with a sword, but inside the box was still a shiny iron box! There are boxes within boxes, and boxes within boxes. In less than half an hour, the lobby was filled with iron boxes, and each iron box was getting smaller and smaller. By the tenth box, it was only two feet long. , about three inches high, one inch wide, Bai Yulong held the box in his hands, and said with a sneer: "I don't believe that the inside of this box is still a box!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, flipped his wrist, and threw the iron box in his hand onto the other big box, only to hear a loud bang, and the small iron box Bai Yulong smashed the box so hard that it split open. The tenth iron box was indeed no longer an iron box, there was only a clang sound, and something rolled out of the box. In an instant, everyone felt that the golden light was dazzling, and they could barely open their eyes. Come. And seeing that golden light, everyone exclaimed from the bottom of their hearts! But Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng were stunned for a moment, they immediately pointed their toes, like a gust of wind, they swept forward. When they rushed forward, they could see clearly that what fell out of the tenth iron box was a golden sword with a whole body of pure gold!The reason why the golden sword surprised everyone is that everyone recognized it at a glance. It was the old owner Bai Zhendong. The golden sword that was missing together! When everyone believed that Bai Zhendong's disappearance was a foregone conclusion and almost irretrievable, this golden sword suddenly appeared, which was naturally extremely shocking. Therefore, Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng, coincidentally, swept forward together, and when they came close, they immediately stretched out their hands together and bent down to pick up the golden sword.The two of them shot at the same speed, and when they were about to grab the hilt of the sword together, suddenly, there was a huge force in the diagonal stab, and they rushed over. That force unexpectedly knocked the Dragon and Phoenix Heroes who are already well-known in the martial arts world, and fell a step outwards involuntarily!And then a hand stretched out quickly, holding the sword!This sudden change made Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng even more stunned. They quickly looked closely, but saw that the person holding the golden sword was none other than Director Peng! At this time, Director Peng was completely different from the usually mediocre Director Peng. He was standing with his sword in his hand, with extraordinary momentum, and his eyes were radiant, and he was fixed on the golden sword!The light emitted from Jin Jianjian's body was very dazzling, but Mr. Peng's eyes did not blink at all. The golden light reflected on his face made his expression even more solemn! At this time, both Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng were horrified, the force just now made them fall a step, although the force was unexpected, it can also be seen that the opponent's martial arts are high. And although Bai Yulong was with Mr. Peng since he was a child, he didn't know anything about Mr. Peng's background. He had asked many martial arts masters about it, but no one knew. Bai Yulong always thought that although Director Peng knew martial arts, he must be far inferior to him, but he didn't expect to find out today that Director Peng's martial arts are actually superior to him!And now, that extremely sharp golden sword that cuts gold and cuts jade is in his hands, this is even more powerful!Seeing the strange expression on his face, who knows what is going on in his heart? The two looked at each other, each fully on guard, and saw Director Peng's sleeves suddenly rolled up, and a gust of wind blew up an iron box. There was a bang, and the iron box was split in half! That further proves that the golden sword in his hand belongs to the owner Bai Zhendong! It wasn't until the iron box, which had been split in half, fell to the ground with two bangs, that Manager Peng returned to normal, handed over the sword, and said, "Vendor Master, look, this is the old Villa Master's golden sword!" He handed the sword to Bai Yulong, Bai Yulong should have stretched out his hand to take it immediately, but at this moment, he had infinite doubts about Director Peng in his heart, so he hesitated for a while. It was still Wei Jinfeng who immediately took a step forward, Director Peng turned the hilt upside down, Wei Jinfeng reached out to take it, and saw that although the golden sword was only two feet long, it was extremely heavy, and he didn't know what it was made of. Can't stare. Wei Jinfeng took the sword in his hand, and said: "Uncle Peng, it turns out that your martial arts are so high, far above us!" Director Peng seemed unwilling to talk about this issue, so he immediately turned away and said: "The owner, madam, this matter is not trivial, I think we must invite Hero Wei to come!" This matter is indeed no small matter.Back then, Bai Zhendong's disappearance had always been a mystery, but now, the golden sword that was inseparable from Bai Zhendong was suddenly sent to the village as a gift for Bai Yulong's marriage. Isn't this even more confusing? In the ten years after Bai Zhendong disappeared, most people thought that Bai Zhendong must have been lured away by something at that time. Couldn't find a clue. However, now that the golden sword has been sent back, this speculation is about to change again. This golden sword is one of the most rare and rare treasures in the martial arts world. It is known as the best sword in the world. Who would give up such a sharp weapon easily after getting it? It is unreasonable to say that after someone killed Bai Zhendong, he dared not use this sword for fear of attracting people from all schools and sects to avenge the leader Bai, because if Bai Zhendong was killed by someone, then the person who killed him would definitely He is a first-class master in the evil sect, a vicious and vicious person.This kind of people got the golden sword, what else do they have to be afraid of? The golden sword was put away so well that it was sent back, but the Golden Sword Manor didn't even know who sent the sword! Aside from other things, on this point, Jinjianzhuang has suffered a big somersault. Bai Yulong heard Mr. Peng say this, and said in a deep voice, "Hero Wei, please!" The two Zhuang Ding immediately agreed and went out. But the two of them hadn't stepped out of the lobby when suddenly they heard someone yelling and rushed in and said: Uncle Peng!Uncle Peng! It was two people who called, and they rushed into the lobby, pale and out of breath, and said: "Uncle Peng, oh, the young master and Wei Xia are also here, the young master and the others are here again!" Bai Yulong, Wei Jinfeng and Director Peng asked in unison: Who is here again? Those two masked men on black horses!The two Zhuang Ding took several breaths before struggling to speak out. When Bai Yulong and the other three heard this, they cried out again: What? It's those two masked men! Director Peng's face changed first, and he raised his hand, saying: "Villa owner, madam, you go and meet Wei Daxia and the others, and I will go out to meet these two masked men first." Wei Jinfeng let out a long laugh, and said: Uncle Peng, what are you talking about?They even dared to come to our door. Are we still afraid that they will fail? Director Peng shook his hands and said: "As the saying goes, those who come are not good, but those who are good will not come. If they are not confident, how could they have the courage to give the golden sword first, and then reappear?" The two Zhuang Ding who rushed in from outside were panting all the time, until this moment, they interjected and said: The two masked men said that the young master should go out to meet them. Bai Yulong sneered, and said: Uncle Peng, don't stop us, if you don't go out to meet them, how will you gain a foothold in the martial arts world?As he said, he pulled Wei Jinfeng, and the two of them swept up together and rushed out.Manager Peng stamped his feet, and said, "Go and tell Hero Wei, and ask them to hurry to the gate of the village!" Several Zhuang Ding knew that the matter was serious, so they ran away immediately. Director Peng took a big stride, and his figure was like flying, and he also rushed out of Zhuangzi. Years ago, the two masked men who took away the owner came again! Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng ran out hand in hand, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the gate of the village. From a long distance away, they saw two extremely tall black horses between two rows of large fences. The two black horses were black and smooth, without a single hair from top to bottom, and they were very important horses at a glance. On the horses were two men in black. The whole body of the two men in black was black, and there was no color other than black. Their heads were covered with black cloth hoods, except for the two finger-sized round holes, where their eyeballs could be seen. Besides, nothing else can be seen. People are pure black, and horses are pure black, so that from a distance, people and horses seem to be mixed together! A dozen or so Zhuang Ding lined up in front of the two men, but they were separated by two or three feet, and they dared not approach them.When the dozen or so Zhuang Ding saw Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng arriving, they all heaved a sigh of relief and shouted: "Young Zhuangzhu is here!" Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng passed the crowd and took four or five steps forward before standing still. As soon as the two of them stood still, they saw the two masked men on the horse, bowed slightly, and said: "Young Master, please forgive us for urgent business, so we can't get off the horse to meet each other!" When Bai Yulong drove out of the village, his heart was full of hostility, but at this moment, when the two masked men spoke, they were very polite, which made Bai Yulong stunned.He said in a deep voice: "Who are you two? You want to see me, but what's the matter?" The two masked men immediately said: Young master, this is not a place to talk, please come with us! When Bai Yulong heard this, he was startled and angry, he let out a long whistle and said: What are you talking about?I am the owner of Jinjian Village, why is it not a place to talk in my village? They only exchanged a few words, Manager Peng arrived first, and saw that he was like a strange bird, he straightened up, crossed the wooden fence, landed at the gate of the village, and turned around quickly. When he came, he blocked the masked man's retreat. Moreover, Manager Peng was clearly rushing forward, and he had already given his orders. As soon as he turned over the wooden fence, there were thirty or fifty Zhuang Ding, each with their own weapons, and they turned over very quickly. Divide into two rows and line up to block the masked people's way out. But those two masked men didn't even look back, they were still sitting on the black horse, and said in a deep voice: "The reason, the young master is naturally hard to understand now, but if you are willing to come with us They spoke in unison, but it was only here that they heard a loud shout from the village.That loud shout came from far away and approached extremely quickly, and the speed of the attack was really indescribable, just like a huge thunder sounded from the sky, the sound followed everyone, and the five figures had already arrived. Suddenly came close. I saw the one at the front, dressed in a gray cloth robe, about eight feet tall, with a gray beard and gray hair, and an extraordinary bearing. He was about sixty years old. He was the hero of Xiangxi, Wei Feizi. And the other four people behind Wei Daxia, two are short old men with big heads and big hands, very funny looking, bald, rosy complexion, smiling all over their faces. These two people are members of the evil sect of the underworld, the famous and fearful Qi Lian elders. In addition to Qi Lian's two elders, one was a thin man in green clothes, but Jiang Wufang was a great hero without a shadow, and the other was Toutuo, with a bitter expression on his face, as if he was about to cry at any time.That is Ku Toutuo from the Bitter Bamboo Forest in eastern Zhejiang, and his Buddhist skills are extraordinary. These five people, all of them are top experts, they arrived together, Bai Yulong and Wei Jinfeng both heaved a sigh of relief.Because it would be unimaginable to let those two masked men get away under such circumstances! As soon as Wei Daxia arrived, he said sharply: "Who are you?" Those two masked men seemed to have no idea that the five people rushing over were all top martial arts masters, they were still sitting on their horses, as if they were indifferent! When Wei Feizi drank, they didn't answer, but said again: Young master, please come with us, we really have something important to tell. Wei Jinfeng's temper is very violent, but she is only a little like her father. Wei Feizi's temper is even more irritable and fierce. Qi, the whole person is like a strange bird, straight up. He was already very close to the two masked men, and when he swooped up, he had already landed on the two of them, he stretched out his arms, spread his fingers, and grabbed the shoulders of the two of them!Looking at his situation, it seemed that he wanted to grab the two of them from the horse abruptly. After Wei Feizi stood up, the two masked men only slightly raised their heads and looked up, and when Wei Feizi's hands were grabbed with a whistling sound, they each stretched out a finger, Pointing upwards, but there is no special movement. In the eyes of those who don't know the details, the force of Wei Daxia's grasp is so amazing, what's the use of those two people stretching out a finger?Definitely going to be caught off the horse. However, in the eyes of several congregationists, they were all taken aback by such a situation! They could tell at a glance that those two people raised their fingers, and they were really braking with silence, an extremely superb kung fu!No matter where Wei Feizi grabbed them, their fingers would definitely be able to hit Wei Feizi's vital acupoints first, making Wei Feizi's grasp useless! Among the crowd, the one who was most surprised was naturally Wei Feizi who was in mid-air, because he had already seen that there was no way to send out his two claws! If he desperately grabs down, then he must be the one who suffers, not the other party! However, after he pulled it up, as he grabbed it with both hands, his true qi sank, and his body was already pressed down. In a hurry, no matter how good his martial arts are, he couldn't raise his qi up immediately!Therefore, he suddenly opened his five fingers, turned his grasp into a palm, and with two palms, he slapped downwards! When he sent out those two palms, his body was already on top of the two of them, so when he sent out those two palms, the force of his palms immediately covered them. All I could hear was the black horse the two were riding, obviously feeling the extremely powerful pressure from Wei Feizi's two palms, and neighing anxiously. The bodies of the two masked men stretched back, stretched out their five fingers, and turned their palms to meet them. In the blink of an eye, Wei Feizi's palms had already intersected with the palms of a masked man, and only two beeps were heard, Wei Feizi let out a strange howl, and flew into the air again! This time, he jumped up to a full height of Zhang Xu, and Fang Shi's true energy sank, and he fell down quickly. The result of this clapping of palms caused everyone to be shocked, Wei Jinfeng hurriedly said, "Father, are you alright?" Wei Feizi had already stood still, his face was very ugly, and he didn't care what Wei Jinfeng said, but from the fact that his strange howl just now sounded like he was still full of strength and continuous, it seemed that he was not injured.And the reason why his body soared into the air was only because when he met his palms just now, he was already in mid-air, so he had nowhere to focus his strength. As soon as Wei Feizi landed on the ground, the Qi Lian elders walked forward, laughing and said: "So you two are masters!" The two masked men said coldly: "I am ashamed to be called an expert, but we are here just to ask the young master to speak for a while!" Qi Lian and the elders were still laughing, and said: Ten years ago, you lured away the old master, now, are you trying to lure away the young master? The two masked men seemed very impatient, and said: "The matter has nothing to do with you two, why are you two chattering?" Qilian Shuanglao said with a smile: You are right, the two of us are notoriously annoying, and like to meddle in other people's business, the more people don't want us to meddle, the more we will meddle. As they spoke, they moved forward gradually. Their movement was very slow, but when they finished speaking, their movements suddenly became extremely fast! I saw their short statures, their bodies dodged suddenly, and they actually dodged under the bellies of the two black horses. Then, they heard a loud shout, raised their hands, and shook the two black horses. Even people and horses were lifted up together. The two black horses were kicking and neighing wildly. Immediately, the two masked men shouted angrily, turned over, fell down, raised their fingers, and pointed at Qilian Elder. . Qi Lian's two elders each supported the horse's belly with their hands, they were eager to fight back the move of the two masked men, but it was difficult to fight back. However, when the masked men attacked Qi Lian's elders, Ku Toutuo and Jiang Wufang had already strode forward, walked over, and said in unison: "Look at the palm!" 他們兩人，全是名門正派中的高手，因為他們出手之際，蒙面人是背對著他們的，是以兩人在出手之前，卻叫了一聲，那是不願意背後偷襲之意。 果然，他們一叫，兩個蒙面人便顧不得再去攻祁連二老，立時轉過身來，砰砰兩聲，和苦頭陀、蔣無方兩人，各自對了一掌！ 苦頭陀和蔣無方兩人，都看到這兩個蒙面人適才和魏非子對掌的情形，心知對方的武功極高，是以這兩掌，足運了七八成功力。 可是，及至雙方四掌相對，那兩個蒙面人都像是不堪一擊一樣，身子立時向後，疾退而出。 他們兩人一退，祁連二老也將兩匹黑馬，向外疾拋了出去，拋開了七八尺，那兩匹馬當真神駿非凡，被拋出了七八尺遠後，仍然挺立，馬腿並未斷折！ 祁連雙老一拋出了黑馬，剛好兩個蒙面人的身子，向後疾退而來，兩人也大喝道：看掌！各自一掌，向前疾推而出！ 那兩個蒙面人反手一掌，也像是不堪一擊，陡地又打橫竄了出去。 看來，他們像是被祁連雙老的掌力，震得向外跌了出去的。可是也就在他們向外跌出之際，只聽得守在莊門外的彭總管大聲叫道：莊主小心！ 白玉龍在魏非子等五大高手一到之後，早已不將這兩個蒙面人放在心上，心中以為他們一定會就逮的，而他們一被擒住，他們究竟是甚麼身份，父親十年之前，跟著他們離去，究竟身在何處，一切的一切自然也可以了然了。 是以事情和他，雖然最有直接的關係，但是他卻一點也沒有動手的打算，直到彭總管忽然一叫，他才陡地吃了一驚。 就在他一驚之間，那兩個蒙面人，挾著一股勁風，漆也似黑的身形，已向他疾撲了過來，來勢之快，簡直難以形容！ 原來剛才那兩個蒙面人，和祁連二老對掌，和苦頭陀、蔣無方對掌，一觸即退，並不是掌力不如，而是早有預謀的！ 看來，他們像是被人家的掌力震退，但事實上他們早已算好了方向，一退再退之後，身形已變得向白玉龍疾撲而出！ 白玉龍一聲怪叫，百忙之中，雙掌一起向前，疾拍而出，他年少英雄，這兩掌的力道，也著實不弱，電光石火之間，只聽得叭叭兩聲響，他那兩掌，已一齊擊中了兩個蒙面人的胸前！ 可是那兩個蒙面人，卻還要厲害，竟然硬受了他的一掌，就在白玉龍的手掌，擊中他們的胸口之際，兩人動作一致，一伸手，就抓住了白玉龍的左右手腕！ 這一切，全是在電光石火之間，一剎那所發生的事情，離得白玉龍最近的，自然是魏金鳳，魏金鳳一見夫婿被擒，心中又驚又怒，一揚手，金劍盪起一股金虹，又向前疾攻而出！ 那柄金劍，她自始至終，抓在手中，這時疾攻而出，勢子實是猛烈無比！ 然而，她的動作快，那兩個蒙面人的動作卻更快！ 就在她一劍攻出之際，兩人的身子，已向上疾拔了起來。向上拔起的力道，只是那兩個蒙面人的，但是向上拔起的，卻有三個人！ 因為白玉龍已被那兩個蒙面人一面一個，抓著手腕，脈門被扣，連掙扎的力道也使不出來。蒙面人橫在半空，兩人之間相距約有五六尺，在他們之間，便是被拉住了雙手，成大字形的白玉龍！ 兩個蒙面人一到半空之中，立時撮唇尖嘯，只見那兩匹黑馬，揚起馬蹄，向後狂奔了過來，兩人的身形，立時下沉，竟恰好一人落在一匹馬上，黑馬立時向後，狂衝而出，兩個蒙面人也不坐下，就站在馬鞍之上，白玉龍仍然在他們的中間！ 在場的幾個人，可以說全是一生闖蕩江湖的高手，但是像這樣的陣仗，他們卻也是未曾見過，一時之間，盡皆呆了一呆。 那兩匹黑馬的去勢，何等之快，就在眾人一呆之間，已然衝出了莊門口，來到了彭總管的面前。 彭總管大叫一聲，道：莊主莫怕！ 只見他一面叫，一面一伸手，在身旁一個莊丁的手中，搶過一柄刀來，身形著地便滾，刀光霍霍，直向馬蹄上砍去！ 這種地趟刀法，本是專砍馬蹄，十分有用的，然而那兩匹黑馬，卻在彭總管一滾向前來之際，便立時躍了起來。 兩匹馬一齊躍起，彭總管的一連幾刀，盡皆砍空，馬已然越過了他。 彭總管發出了一聲驚天動地的怪嘯聲，猛地一刀，那一刀勢子之猛，實是難以形容，簡直就如同他是連人帶刀，一齊向前撲去，幾乎連他整個人，也成了那柄刀的一部分！ 刀光如虹，只聽得唰地一聲過處，血泉狂湧，那一刀，竟將左邊的那匹黑馬的一條後腿，活生生地砍了下來！ 然而，這一刀卻仍然未能阻住那兩個蒙面人！ 就在一匹黑馬倒地的一剎那間，馬上所坐的蒙面人，身形已疾拔而起，落到了另一匹黑馬之上。 而那匹黑馬的去勢，並不因有三個人在馬背上而變得慢些，只見蹄下的塵土揚了起來，等到莊中的人紛紛竄了出來之際，已在十來丈開外了。 魏金鳳急叫道：快備馬！ 魏非子叫道：備馬來還來得及麼？ 他一面說，一面颼地已向前掠了出去，去勢快絕，祁連二老、苦頭陀、蔣無方、魏金鳳等六人，也連忙跟在後面。 這六人之中，蔣無方號稱神行無影，輕功之高，允稱獨步天下，六人中雖是魏非子最先向前追去，但是追出二三十丈，蔣無方身形如煙，便已唰地在魏非子的身邊掠過！ 前面是一匹黑馬，黑馬之後，離得最近的是蔣無方，再後面便是苦頭陀等三人，魏非子為照顧眾人之中，輕功最差的魏金鳳，反倒落到了最後。 眾人在眨眼之間，便奔得看不見了，向前望去，只見路面之上，煙塵滾滾，卻是不見人馬！ 直到這時，被嚇呆了的莊丁，才一齊向彭總管圍了土來，七嘴八舌地問著，可是十人之中，倒有九人都是問的：彭大叔，怎麼好？This sentence. 彭總管在一刀將馬腿砍了下來之後，一直呆立不動，直到眾人圍了上來發問，他才陡地一聲大喝，道：你們都替我滾開去！ 彭總管平日，為人極之和藹可親，莊丁也都十分敬服他，金劍莊上的莊丁，卻是從來也未曾見過彭大叔發那麼大的脾氣過！ 一時之間，誰也不敢出聲，都悄聲退了開去。 彭總管喘了兩口氣，來到了那匹馬旁，那馬早已死去，血流得滿地皆是，死得極慘，彭總管伸手在馬頸之間摸索著。 馬頸上的鬢毛極長，彭總管的手伸了進去，摸索了片刻，便拉出了一條極細的金鍊來。 他一用力，將那條金鍊拉斷，拉了出來，只見金鍊上，有一面指甲大小的金牌繫著，在那金牌之上，刻著一個龍字。 彭總管只向那金牌看了一眼，一看到了那個龍字，臉色便已大變，一伸手，拈起了金牌，身子向後，連退了好幾步，呆立不動。 這時，有幾個莊丁，好奇心重的，實在想問個明白，但是看看彭總管的面色，大為不善，卻是沒有人敢出聲。 彭總管一直在莊外立著，莊中的人，也個個六神無主，足過了近一個時辰，才看到有人奔了過來，在最前面的，是祁連二老。 跟在祁連二老身後的，是苦頭陀、魏非子，魏非子扶著魏金鳳，魏金鳳面色慘白，雙眼紅腫，她的手中，則仍然握著那柄金劍。 眾人來到了近前，停了下來，魏非子沉聲道：金鳳，你不必太傷心，你蔣三叔已追了上去，就算追不到，也必然可以獲得多少線索的。 魏金鳳本來是強忍著哭聲的，這時，經父親一勸，反倒忍不住，放聲大哭了起來。 試想，她新婚才七日，正是兩夫婦如膠似漆之際，卻突然生出這樣的變故，想起十年前，白莊主也是被這兩個蒙面人引走，一走之後便無音訊，如今，同樣的事，又發生在自己丈夫的身上，自己有可能從此便失去了白玉龍，她如何不哀痛欲絕？ 魏非子看著愛女痛哭，也是心如刀割，可是，自己這方面，高手如此之多，卻仍然被那兩個蒙面人將白玉龍強搶了去，若不是彭總管出手，只怕連對方的馬，也傷不了一隻，那還有甚麼話好說的？ 他長嘆一聲，卻見彭總管已向他走來，一攤手，道：魏大俠，你請看，這是從馬頸上解下來的。 魏非子拈了起來一看，他面色本就難看，可是當他一眼看到了那塊指甲大小的金牌，和牌上的那個龍字之後，他的臉，卻整個成了青灰色！ 他一震之後，立時抬起了頭來，道：甚麼？是是紅梅宮中的龍仙子？ 一聽得魏非子這樣講，祁連二老和苦頭陀，三人也是一呆。非但他們三人一呆，正在痛哭的魏金鳳，也突然止住了哭聲。彭總管緩緩點頭，道：是。 祁連二老齊聲道：那定然是人偽託的，紅梅宮的傳人，傳了幾百年，人人都道紅梅宮中，龍姓一家，數代只生女子，武功絕頂，可是有誰見過來？世上根本沒有甚麼紅梅宮龍仙子！ 苦頭陀道：二位說得是，那定然是偽託的，藉口紅梅宮龍仙子之名好叫我們不再追查此事，世上焉有這樣一座紅梅宮？ 魏非子嗯地一聲，面色略好看了些，可是，也就在此際，只聽得彭總管沉聲道：各位錯了，紅梅宮真是有的，而宮主人龍仙子的武功之高，也可以說是普天之下，無人能及！ 魏非子厲聲道：你怎知道？ 彭總管的聲音，卻是十分鎮定，道：因為我曾在紅梅宮中做過事。 魏非子一聽，倏地伸手，便向彭總管的肩頭抓來，他那一抓，發得突如其來，可是彭總管的身子一縮，便避了開去。 魏非子一抓不中，大喝道：往哪裏走？只見他踏步進身，第二抓又已抓出。 彭總管怪叫道：魏大俠且聽我說，金劍白莊主於我有救命之恩，是以我才冒生命之險，將自己曾在紅梅宮中一事，講出來的。 魏非子的那一抓，已將要抓到了彭總管的胸前，可是他聽得彭總管這樣講，便硬生生地收住勢子，道：你究竟是甚麼人？ 彭總管呆了半晌，只見他伸手，向他自己的下顎之上摸去，不一會，便見他已然慢慢地揭起一層皮來。那被揭起的，自然不是真的是他的面皮，而是一張製作得極其精細的人皮面具。 那張人皮面具被慢慢的揭起，在面具之下，是雪白得極其可怕的臉色，等到整個人皮面具被揭下之後，只見在各人面前的彭總管，容貌和眾人熟知的彭總管，截然不同！ 而祁連雙老首先叫出來道：鹿兄，是你！ 魏非子也大吃了一驚，道：你閣下莫非是十多年前，遠走關外，從此便未見在武林中露面的青城掌門，聖手劍鹿威？彭總管聖手劍鹿威，緩緩地點了點頭。 這實在是駭人聽聞之極的事！ 要知道，金劍白震東，雖然是武林之中，三十九門，七十六派的盟主，但是那些門派，是絕不包括青城、峨嵋、少林等大派在內的。 諸大門派的掌門人，在武林中的地位，十分之高，而若不是武功極高的人，自然不能當此重任。是以，青城掌門，早數十年，便已有聖手劍之稱的鹿威，當然也是武林中頂尖兒的人物！雖然說，金劍莊總管，也不是普通人能當得了的，但是和青城掌門比起來，身份卻是相去得太遠了，是不可同日而語的。 但是，為甚麼青城掌門，聖手劍鹿威，竟會銷聲匿跡，戴著人皮面具，在這裏當了十五年總管，而不回青城去呢？ 祁連二老和鹿威本是舊相識，這時心中也更加駭然，道：鹿兄，這卻是為何，這卻是為何？ 聖子劍鹿威長嘆一聲，道：還不是為了紅梅宮！ 眾人又問道：紅梅宮又怎樣？ 鹿威深深地吸了一口氣，道：各位，我此際真實身份已然暴露，隨時隨地，都可能有殺身之禍，至於紅梅宮的一切，我也不會對諸位說的，因為若是對各位說了，無異是害了各位。 魏金鳳哭道：那麼玉龍他難道就此一去不回了麼？ 鹿威踏前一步，同魏非子拱了拱手道：魏兄，若是你信得過鹿某人的話，請將令嬡交給我，我帶她到紅梅宮去見少莊主，除此之外別無他法？ 魏非子的心中，為難之極，有關紅梅宮的傳說，武林中不知多少，那就像民間傳說陰間閻王殿一樣，雖然人人傳說，而且人人提起害怕，但事實上，卻是人人皆以為那是並不存在的。 如今，突然知道，那原來是真的存在的，而且似乎比傳說中更加可怖，這時的心情，實是難以形容，魏非子伸手抓住了女兒的手臂，他雖是縱橫江湖的大俠，但這時卻也有些不知所措！ 還是魏金鳳，她立時一抹眼淚，道：彭大叔，既然只有一個辦法，那我跟你去！ 苦頭陀忙道：鹿施主，那紅梅宮和金劍白震東之間，又有何瓜葛？ 鹿威搖頭道：這我也不知道，若是我知道白莊主早和紅梅宮有瓜葛的話，那麼十年之前白莊主離莊而去，我便可以知道他是到紅梅宮去的了。 各人吸了一口氣道：他在紅梅宮中？ 鹿威道：我想是如此，魏姑娘，你卻要知道，你跟我前去，卻是凶險絕倫。 魏金鳳斬釘截鐵，道：再凶險我也要去，若是我失去了玉龍 她講到這裏，淒然一笑，未曾再向下講去。 然而，她根本不必再向下講，因為誰都知道，若是沒有了白玉龍，她定然是絕無生趣，而如今她不畏凶險，無非是死中求生！ 魏非子苦笑了一下道：鹿兄，那麼你 鹿威道：若不是昔年遇救，我早已死了，如今我已偷生了十多年，還有甚麼好說的？來人，備八匹馬來！ 不多久，八匹健馬被牽了出來，鹿威和魏金鳳，翻身上了馬。 八匹健馬，向前疾馳而出，他們是日夜不停的，每當一匹馬，奔得口噴白沫，倒了下來之後，他們就立即換上另一匹，繼續向前疾馳。 四天之後，八匹馬，已只剩下兩匹了。 而在這四天之中，他們兩人，也向西趕出了近七百里的路程，已然到了湘西一帶，崇山峻嶺，人煙不到之處。這四天的急馳，奔死了六匹馬，聖手劍鹿威，和魏金鳳兩人，也是疲憊不堪。 第四天傍晚時分，他們來到了一個滿是楓樹的山谷之中，楓葉紅若烈火，映著漫天晚霞，觸目處更全是一片紅色，說不出的淒厲奇幻。 一到了那個山谷，鹿威便翻身下馬，魏金鳳神色憔悴，勒住了馬道：彭大叔，到紅梅宮了麼？ 鹿威卻並不回答，只是緩緩地搖了搖頭，在一塊大石上坐了下來。魏金鳳忙也下了馬，來到了他的身前，又叫道：彭大叔不，鹿掌門 鹿威揚起手來，苦笑道：你還是叫我彭大叔的好，你叫我彭大叔，這可以使我自以為身份還未曾暴露，那樣我晚上睡也睡得安穩些。 魏金鳳此際，聽得聖手劍鹿威如此說法，心中的駭然，實是難以形容，同時，她心中也是感激之極，因為鹿威對紅梅宮，是如此之害怕，但是為了帶她去找白玉龍，他卻又毫不猶豫，去犯凶險！ 她呆了半晌，才道：彭大叔，那紅梅宮當真這樣可怕麼？ 鹿威閉上了眼，晚霞映在他的臉上，反映出一層微弱的光芒來，以致他的臉容，給人以看來十分怪異之感。魏金鳳又問道：那麼，你當日，又是何以會到那麼可怕的地方去的？ 鹿威仍是木然地坐著，過了好半晌，才道：人為財死，鳥為食亡！ 魏金鳳呆了一呆，道：彭大叔，你是為了求財，上紅梅宮去的？ 鹿威搖頭道：當然不是，我這樣說，只不過是一個譬喻，人家為財死，我輩武林中人，財是不求了，但為來為去，為的甚麼？ 魏金鳳道：自然為的武功！ 鹿威道：是啊，我就是為求武去的。 魏金鳳乃是性子十分烈的人，心直口快，她一聽得鹿威這樣講，立時不以為然，道：彭大叔，你是青城掌門，青城內功、劍術，天下馳名，你還去求甚麼武功？ 鹿威的雙眼，仍然閉著，這時，暮色四合，他的臉容，已然有點看不清楚了。但是，他的聲音，聽來卻還是十分清楚。 他緩緩地道：武學之道，豈有止境？青城派的武功，固然已不錯了，但是和紅梅宮比較起來，卻又相差得太遠了！ 魏金鳳反駁道：彭大叔，我仍然不明白，武林相傳，都道有一座紅梅宮，紅梅宮的主人，全是絕色女子，但是究竟是不是有紅梅宮，卻始終沒有人肯定知道，何以你會立意去尋找的？ 鹿威又苦笑了兩聲，道：這其中的原因，原是外人難明的，只有歷代青城派掌門人知道。 魏金鳳吃了一驚，因為青城派乃是武林之中，勢力極盛的派別，而今這件秘密，當然也是和整個武林有關的了。是以她屏住了氣息聽鹿威講下去。 鹿威緩緩地道：青城派的劍法，本來不是出類拔萃的，但自第九代掌門人，青雲上人之後，青城劍法，奇招百出，聲名大著，你可知道是為了甚麼？ 魏金鳳道：這位前輩，乃是百年之前，武林中的異人，他創了許多招精妙之極的招數，是以才使得青城劍法，大放異彩的。 鹿威點著頭，道：是的，武林中人人都是如此說，但是事實上，青城派歷代掌門人，卻都知道事情絕不是那樣的，那些精奇之極的劍法，絕不是青雲上人自己創出來的，而是有人傳授給他的。 魏金鳳吃了一驚，失聲道：人家教他的？ 鹿威道：是的，但青雲上人，卻也沒有說出，那幾招使得青城派有劍法獨步天下之譽的劍法是甚麼人教他的，他只是留下了一隻盒子，和幾句遺言。他的遺言是，如果青城派以後的掌門人，若是自信將他傳下的劍法，全已練成了，而青城派又有極大的危機之時，方可打開這隻盒子來觀看。 魏金鳳聽得十分緊張起來，青城派乃是武林中的大派，差不多有關青城派的事，一直都是武林中人談話的資料，但是卻也從來沒有一個人，提起過青城派之中，還有這樣一段秘事的。 她忙道：那盒子中的是甚麼？ 鹿威慢慢地道：你且聽我講下去。在青雲上人之後，又傳了兩代，這兩代的掌門人，資質較差，一生勤練青雲上人所傳的劍招，及至全部練成，也已垂垂老矣，是以也未曾去動那盒子的腦筋。 魏金鳳又忍不住插口道：再傳下來，就是你了，你不是青城派的第十二代掌門麼？ 鹿威長嘆了一聲，這時候，天色已完全黑了下來，他臉上的神情如何，已完全沒有法子看得清了，他道：是的，我師父在七十二歲那一年，將掌門之位傳了給我，在他將掌門之位傳給我之時，當然也將那隻盒子，和太師祖青雲上人的話，傳了給我。 鹿威講到這裏，苦笑了幾下，停了好一會，未曾再向下講去。 魏金鳳好幾次想要催他，但是，魏金鳳卻也聽出，鹿威的話，講到後來，已然十分傷感，可能已牽動了他的心事，是以她也不去提及。 過了足有半盞茶時，鹿威才又道：我當掌門之際，才只不過三十歲，究竟年紀太輕，不知厲害，自以為是，幾乎當時就想將那盒子，打了開來，但礙著師父尚在，我卻不敢，一直到我師父八十一歲那年去世，我葬了師父之後，第一件事，便是打開了那隻盒子！ 魏金鳳聽得心頭，忤怦亂跳，道：那麼，彭大叔，你當時可是將青雲上人所傳的劍招，全都學齊了麼？ 鹿威苦笑著，道：若是學全了，也不會有今日了。青雲上人當年所傳的劍法，雖然只有七招，但是每一招有七式變化，每一式變化之中，又有七種不同的使法，變化之多，實是難以言喻，以我的資質而論，就算學上一生，也是學不全的。 魏金鳳道：那麼，你為甚麼打開了青雲上人遺下的盒子？ 鹿威嘿嘿嘿地笑了起來，他的笑聲，十分怪異，顯見得他的心境，十分複雜，他笑了好一會，才道：魏姑娘，我不信你不知道我為甚麼要打開這盒子，貪婪之心，是人皆有之的，雖然青雲上人的那七招劍法，已夠我練一生的了，但是我卻希望，在那盒子之中，有更多的精妙劍法。 他講到這裏，略頓了一頓，才又道：這其實一點不怪，世間有不少人，早已有了他們一世吃著不盡的金銀，但是一樣希望獲得更多的金銀，這不是同一個道理麼？ 魏金鳳也不禁嘆了一聲，道：人為財死，似乎是沒有止境的。 鹿威續道：我打開了那隻盒子，裏面是一張地圖，和一封信，那地圖上註明紅梅宮的所在處，而那封信，卻是青雲上人，寫給打開盒子的後代青城派掌門人的，在信中，他說，他昔年因為一個極其偶然的機緣，在紅梅宮中住了一年。在那一年中，他學會了七招劍法。然而，這七招劍法和紅梅宮博大精深的武功相比，只不過是滄海一粟而已。後代青城掌門，若是將這七招劍法學全了，那麼，依循地圖上指出的途徑，到紅梅宮去，或者可蒙紅梅宮主人接見，再傳七招，那麼，青城劍法，就更可以發揚光大了！ 魏金鳳不由
